The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Matthew Haag of The New York Times writes of the Trump “hush money” trial: “Lawyers defending Donald J. Trump in his Manhattan criminal trial rested their case on Tuesday after calling just two witnesses—neither of them the former president—setting the stage for closing arguments next week. The judge overseeing the case said those summations would take place in a week, and he hoped that the jury of 12 New Yorkers could begin deciding Mr. Trump’s guilt or innocence the day after that. The two sides returned to the courtroom on Tuesday afternoon—without the jury—to hash out a crucial, if complicated, matter: the instructions jurors will receive before deliberating on the 34 felony counts against Mr. Trump.” You can find updates here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/21/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money 3:30pm- While speaking in New Hampshire, President Joe Biden announced the…what act??? 3:40pm- Ian Smith—Former Co-Owner of Atillis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey—joins The Ric

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Joe Biden asserted executive privilege—preventing the House of Representatives from acquiring audio recordings of an interview the president conducted with Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur.

First, once a President waives a privilege right, it can’t be reclaimed.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- In her new article for The Washington Examiner, columnist Salena Zito asks did Trump make a 4D chess move with his speech in Wildwood, New Jersey? Zito writes: “In 2016, Clinton won Mahoning County with 49% of the vote, defeating Trump by a hair. For perspective, just four years earlier, then-President Barack Obama crushed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney by a whopping 28 points in the Mahoning Valley, earning 63% of the vote of this mostly white working-class voter base. Those same working-class white voters, on whom Democrats relied to carry the state twice for the first Black president, would soon be called racist, uneducated, and angry just four years later for supporting Trump. Fast-forward to last weekend when Trump, plagued by nonstop reports of his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments, held a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, and attracted more than 80,000 supporters in a state no Republican presidential candidate has won since then-Vice Pres
