Hour 3:
5:00pm- Jimmy Failla—stand-up comedian & Fox News host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about today’s big announcement: Failla’s radio show can now be heard 7pm to 10pm on 1210 WPHT! PLUS, what’s your favorite Kamala Harris fake accent? Deep South? Spanish? Will she soon unveil an Italian accent to appeal to South Philadelphia? And is Tim Walz’s wife somehow an even less-charming version of Hillary Clinton?
5:25pm- According to reports, former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is actively helping Donald Trump pick potential leadership at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
5:35pm- Fed Cuts Interest Rates by Half a Percentage Point. Nick Timiraos of The Wall Street Journal writes: “The Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates by a half percentage point, opting for a bolder start in making its first reduction since 2020. The long-anticipated pivot followed an all-out fight against inflation the central bank launched two years ago. Eleven of 12 Fed voters backed the cut, which will bring the benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 4.75% and 5%. Quarterly projections released Wednesday showed a narrow majority of officials penciled in cuts that would lower rates by at least a quarter point each at meetings in November and December.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/economy/central-banking/fed-cuts-rates-by-half-percentage-point-03566d82
5:40pm- On Tuesday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation banning digitally altered political videos in California—even those that are made to parody elected officials if not clearly labeled. Newsom pledged to ban these types of videos after Elon Musk published a clearly satirical artificial intelligence-generated social media post mocking Kamala Harris’s policy preferences and record. How is this crack down on free speech not violative of the First Amendment? Rich notes that the law will almost certainly be challenged in court. On Wednesday night, The Babylon Bee hilariously trolled Newsom by making an A.I. generated ad which features a fake Newsom bragging about how horrible he has been as governor.
5:45pm- In her new memoir, Hillary Clinton reveals that she has given her stomach a nickname. Why did anyone need to know that?
