The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/22/2024): 3:05pm- While speaking with Politico, Camila Thorndike—Harris Campaign’s Climate Engagement Director—revealed that Kamala Harris does not support the expansion of land leases for fracking, and the subsequent expansion of domestic energy production. Earlier in the campaign, Harris had emphasized the expansion of fracking leases via the Inflation Reduction Act, alluding to the idea that it would be a policy she supported moving forward. Notably, while running for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2019, Harris had called for an outright ban on fracking. Thorndike’s revelation now marks the third alteration of Harris’s position on fracking. Can Pennsylvanians believe anything she is saying on this subject? 3:25pm- While speaking at a Latino Roundtable in Miami, Florida, Donald Trump couldn’t believe that his political rival Kamala Harris was taking the day off from the campaign trail despite the presidential election being just two-weeks away. He hilariously stated: “I can’t get over it…She’s lazy as hell.” 3:40pm- Democrats in Swing States Are Now Running Away From Harris. In a new report from Alexander Bolton of The Hill writes: “Democrats running for the Senate in ‘blue wall’ states that will be critical to determining the outcome of the 2024 election are running away from Vice President Harris, signaling that they are hoping to win over some of former President Trump’s voters to keep their seats. And Democratic candidates in those states have been careful about criticizing Trump during the high-stakes debates. They have focused on policy and their own records without taking many—or any—shots against the Republican nominee.” Bolton notes that Democrats Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Senate Candidate Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) are distancing themselves from Harris. He writes that Slotkin “has sounded like a Republican at times, talking about her home on a ‘dirt road’ where no electric vehicle would dare go. She has flashed Trumpian rhetoric about how Japan and South Korea ‘ate our lunch’ in the 1980s by being a step ahead of U.S. automakers in promoting fuel-efficient vehicles.” You can read the full article here: https://thehill.com/homenews/4945815-democratic-candidates-avoid-harris-blue-wall/ 3:55pm- Rich reads hate mail from listeners—and Matt wonders why he was attacked too! He didn’t even do anything. 4:05pm- Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance delivers remarks from Peoria, Arizona. He implores voters to cast their ballots and to bring nine friends with them to the polls on Election Day—noting that it is the only legal way to vote 10x and hilariously predicts that The New York Times will simply take his comments out of context and claim the Trump-Vance ticket encourages voter fraud. 4:30pm- While speaking at a Latino Roundtable in Miami, Florida, Donald Trump couldn’t believe that his political rival Kamala Harris was taking the day off from the campaign trail despite the presidential election being just two-weeks away. He hilariously stated: “I can’t get over it…She’s lazy as hell.” Aside from the roundtable in Miami, Trump will also hold a campaign event in Greensboro, North Carolina later tonight.

Mairead Elordi of The Daily Wire writes: “Elon Musk’s many successful companies have reportedly faced at least 20 federal investigations and reviews in recent years. Tesla and SpaceX especially have faced heavy scrutiny, red tape, and fines over the course of their operations, The New York Times reported. These two companies also contract heavily with the federal government—last year, Musk’s companies secured nearly $3 billion across 100 contracts with 17 federal agencies.
