Please Call Me, Kamala: Josh Shapiro Can’t Stop Cursing!
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/31/2024):
3:05pm- On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke at the Members of the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. The Q&A started off with ABC’s Rachel Scott ostensibly accusing Trump of being a racist. In his retort, Trump explained that Scott’s question was unnecessarily hostile—revealing that Scott was 35-minutes late to begin the conversation. Trump also noted that his administration adopted many policies that benefited the Black community—and that presumed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris declined to attend the convention.
3:20pm- In the week since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and selected Kamala Harris to be his successor, clips have emerged of Harris advocating for some truly bizarre policies—including a ban on fracking, a mandatory gun buyback initiated via executive authority, placing a limit on red meat consumption, providing taxpayer-funded health care to undocumented migrants residing in the country illegally, and the complete abolition of private health insurance.
3:40pm- Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL)—U.S. Representative for Florida’s 19th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania tonight at New Holland Arena. The event starts at 6:00pm. Plus, Rep. Donalds reacts to Trump’s participation in the Members of the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago earlier today. He also calls out Kamala Harris for “flip flopping” on policy. For example, she has repeatedly called for a ban on fracking for years but recently changed her preference to presumably be a more appealing candidate in Pennsylvania.
4:05pm- On Tuesday, Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe testified before the United States Senate—as part of the Senate’s investigation into the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. During his opening statement, Rowe said he “cannot defend” the rally’s security failures. He explained: “What I saw made me ashamed.” In one notable exchange, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MI) grilled Rowe and expressed confusion as to how no one—despite the agency’s failures—was fired. Hawley exclaimed: "The former President was shot! Just fire somebody!...We have people who are dead!" On Wednesday, a previously unreleased video of the shooting found its way to social media—offering an alternate angle and further emphasizing the monumental security failure.
4:10pm- On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke at the Members of the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. The Q&A started off with ABC’s Rachel Scott ostensibly accusing Trump of being a racist. In his retort, Trump explained that Scott’s question was unnecessarily hostile—revealing that Scott was 35-minutes late to begin the conversation. Trump also noted that his administration adopted many policies that benefited the Black community—and that presumed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris declined to attend the convention. At another moment in the moderated conversation, Trump was asked if Harris was a Biden Administration “D.E.I hire.” He responded: "She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black—and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don't know. Is she Indian or is she Black?"
4:15pm- While speaking at the Members of the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, Donald Trump hilariously stated he wanted to bring inflation down so that people can afford bacon again!
4:20pm- Flashback: When asked about policies that could potentially reduce the cost of goods and combat inflation, Vice President Kamala Harris was unable to provide a coherent answer.
4:25pm- While speaking on behalf of Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro exclaimed: “I’ve got a message to Donald Trump—stop sh** talking America.” In recent days, Shapiro has seemingly swung wildly to the left in attempting to appeal to Harris as a Vice Presidential pick. If he isn’t ultimately selected, will his perception as a “moderate” be irreversibly damaged? Interestingly, of the Vice Presidential contenders, Mark Kelly enjoys the highest net favorability rating—is it a coincidence that he’s also the only contender not regularly appearing on television or at rally’s saying outlandish things to appease Harris’ campaign?
4:30pm- While appearing on CNN, journalist Gretchen Carlson noted that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s response to sexual harassment allegations brought against one of his top aides could pose a major risk for Kamala Harris should she pick him to be his running mate.
4:40pm- In a video that has now gone viral, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro can be seen missing a 12-foot jump shot over and over and over again at a Philadelphia Youth Basketball league. When he finally hits the short-range jumper, the kids in attendance go wild—reacting as though Shapiro had just hit a buzzer beater in game seven of the NBA finals.
5:05pm- Josh Shapiro Can’t Stop Cursing: While speaking with Meidas Touch Network, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro cursed three times in less than a minute. Rich wonders if Shapiro keeps cursing to try to impress Kamala Harris—is it working?
5:20pm- CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten has called Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro the best potential running mate for presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
5:35pm- On Tuesday, Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe testified before the United States Senate—as part of the Senate’s investigation into the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. During his opening statement, Rowe said he “cannot defend” the rally’s security failures. He explained: “What I saw made me ashamed.” In one notable exchange, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MI) grilled Rowe and expressed confusion as to how no one—despite the agency’s failures—was fired. Hawley exclaimed: "The former President was shot! Just fire somebody!...We have people who are dead!" On Wednesday, a previously unreleased video of the shooting found its way to social media—offering an alternate angle and further emphasizing the monumental security failure.
5:40pm- Dr. E.J. Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the U.S. national debt topping $35 trillion. Outlandishly, the interest payments on the debt are now roughly $1 trillion annually! Plus, is it true that Dr. Antoni and Elon Musk are basically best friends on X now?
6:05pm- Will Josh Shapiro Be The VP Pick?: Holly Otterbein and Eugene Daniels of Politico report: “Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to announce her running mate by Tuesday, when she will hold her first rally with her pick in Philadelphia.” Does this mean Shapiro might be the pick?

6:15pm- Kamala Harris’ Rise to Power: Isabel Vincent, Jennie Taer, and Christopher Guly of The New York Post write: “As a young prosecutor, Kamala Harris was gifted a BMW and lavished with trips to Paris and the Oscars by a much older lover who also jumpstarted her meteoric rise in California politics…The current vice president famously had a relationship with Democratic Party kingmaker Willie Brown in 1994 when she was 29 and he was 60, and when he was serving as speaker of the California Assembly.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/07/31/world-news/kamala-harris-got-bmw-and-career-boost-from-older-lover/
