The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/29/2025): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley held a press conference where he announced that Jack Smith and Joe Biden's FBI issued 197 subpoenas “to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions” all of which appear to target the communications of over “430 Republican individuals and organizations.” 3:30pm- Early voting in New Jersey began on Saturday, October 25th. According to reports, “unaffiliated” voter turnout is already up—and most polling seems to indicate those voters will prefer Jack Ciattarelli over Mikie Sherrill. 3:40pm- Can Rich go a full segment without promoting his upcoming Fox News appearances? Spoiler: The answer is NO! He'll be on next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (in case you were wondering). 4:05pm- While speaking with the press aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump was once again asked about potentially running for a third presidential term in 2028—responding: “If you read [the Constitution], it's pretty clear. I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad.” The 12th Amendment states: “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.” 4:25pm- While speaking at The Connecticut Forum, former President Barack Obama suggested that we should “start experimenting with new forms of journalism and how we use social media” which “will require some government regulatory constraints” against “the most hateful voices.” But who decides which voices are hateful? 4:40pm- Greg Rothman— Chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican Party & Pennsylvania State Senator, serving the 34th district—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Election Day. He explains that everyone is expecting low turnout, so your vote will be especially valuable on Tuesday. 5:05pm- Bill D'Agostino— Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) moments from corporate media and Democrats. Plus, what the heck is CNN “All Access” and why would anyone subscribe to it? Will it at least last longer than CNN+—which shutdown after just 30 days? 5:50pm- In a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote: “Virginia and New Jersey, VOTE REPUBLICAN IF YOU WANT MASSIVE ENERGY COST AND CRIME REDUCTIONS. The Democrats will double and even triple your Energy Costs, and CRIME will be rampant. A vote for the Democrats is a DEATH WISH! VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!” 6:05pm- On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley held a press conference where he announced that Jack Smith and Joe Biden's FBI issued 197 subpoenas “to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions” all of which appear to target the communications of over “430 Republican individuals and organizations.” 6:25pm- Moderation within the Democratic Party is vanishing—it's now a party that mirrors the ideology of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders. 6:30pm- Early voting in New Jersey began on Saturday, October 25th. According to reports, “unaffiliated” voter turnout is already up—and most polling seems to indicate those voters will prefer Jack Ciattarelli over Mikie Sherrill. 6:40pm- After claiming his aunt was unable to wear her hijab on the subway following 9/11, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was forced to amend his story.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – I sent a letter to Governor DeSantis, asking him what solar panels taste like as we replace our food farms with solar farms. I never got an answer. I started researching in my old files. I was trying to find out why, when President Trump's energy policy is drill baby drill, and uses all forms of energy, Florida is not paying attention...

Salad growers are warning that price increases for electricity will drive people out of the sector. Growers in the Lea Valley on the edge of London say they have large electricity connections for times of heavy use, but often use much less power. Since 2022 they've been charged based not only on what they use, but also on the size of the connection, and they say that from April next year those standing charges will effectively double. They say they should have government support to help meet the cost, like other sectors which are intensive users of energy.Carrots are the nation's favourite vegetable, regularly eaten by around three quarters of us and worth nearly £300 million a year in sales . They are in season in the UK nearly all year round thanks to specialised  growing techniques, including overwintering them in fields. Right now farmers are working hard to get them covered up before the first frosts. We visit a farm in the Vale of York as a layer of straw is put over the crop to protect it.  Zebra mussels, mink, floating pennywort and the Asian hornet - what they all have in common is that they are all here in the UK, but they shouldn't be. This week we are looking at invasive species. There are 2000 non native species in Great Britain, about 200 of them are classed as invasive and the Animal and Plant Health Agency, the government agency which works to tackle them, says14 new ones are identified every year.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

A nationwide survey conducted by IP Telecom, Ireland's leading B2B telecommunications provider, of over 500 business decision-makers highlights not only the strains on operations but also the resilience, cautious optimism, and forward-looking strategies that Irish businesses are adopting to remain competitive. Rising energy costs emerged as the most significant concern for businesses as we approach the winter season, cited by 40% of respondents, followed closely by global uncertainty at 36%. Labour shortages and wage pressures were identified by nearly a quarter of businesses (25%), while regulatory costs and compliance requirements affected 23%. Other operational pressures included broadband and telecom infrastructure (20%), supply chain disruptions (20%), and office or commercial rent (16%). Only a small fraction of respondents indicated no specific factors were currently straining their operations (2%). Despite these challenges, Irish businesses are optimistic. This confidence is reflected in their outlook for the next 12 months, with 78% of respondents reporting confidence in the Irish economy. Telecoms technology plays a central role in investment decisions. Reflecting this, 62% of businesses said they are likely to change their telecom provider within the next 12 months, highlighting the increasing value placed on reliability and local presence. Beyond price, the features most commonly prioritised are product reliability (46%), reliability of support (45%), and security (44%), with integration with other software, innovation, brand recognition, and local support also considered important. Robin Russell, CCO of IP Telecom, commented: "While challenges such as rising energy costs and global uncertainty remain top of mind for our customers and business leaders across Ireland, these results show that companies are actively adapting, investing in technology. Whether that's reviewing their telecoms and broadband efficacy and providers or exploring AI tools to stay competitive, understanding that innovation is no longer an option but a necessity. At IP Telecom, we are proud to support Irish businesses with reliable, locally based solutions that meet these evolving needs." When asked how important it is that their provider is Irish-owned with local support, 89% of respondents said it is important.

A crucial race for Georgia's Public Service Commission is coming up in November. And though the name sounds boring, it's a race that really matters. That's because the commission is in charge of regulating public utilities in the state, including electric, gas, and telecommunications. Right now, all five commissioners are Republicans…but two of them are up for election this fall. And the Democratic challengers are strong. To learn more about the importance of this race, we spoke with John Taylor, Executive Director of the Black Male Initiative, a nonprofit focused on civic engagement in Georgia.And in headlines, President Donald Trump continues to threaten Chicago…but this time with war, Russia attacks Ukraine in its latest aerial strike, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. might have to refund some money it's collected from Trump's infamous tariffs.Show Notes:Check out the Black Male Initiative – www.bmifund.org/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Angelo interviews Mark Zacharias, the Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada. The discussion centers around a rebuttal to an article published by the Fraser Institute, which claimed that renewable energy is going to be significantly more expensive than anticipated. Mark Zacharias addresses three main arguments presented in the Fraser Institute article: Renewable Energy Costs: The article suggests that renewable energy drives up costs and is intermittent, making electricity grids less reliable. Mark counters this by highlighting examples from jurisdictions like South Australia and Iowa, where the transition to renewable energy has led to lower electricity costs. He notes that in Alberta, recent renewable energy procurements have resulted in power bids as low as $0.05 per kilowatt hour, significantly cheaper than the retail electricity rates. Impact of Climate Policies on the Grid: The article argues that climate policies, such as EV sales mandates and natural gas bans, will overwhelm the electricity grid. Mark refutes this by explaining that EVs have a minimal impact on grid demand and can even contribute to grid stability through vehicle-to-grid technologies. He also emphasizes the efficiency of heat pumps compared to traditional heating methods, which can lead to overall energy savings. Electricity Imports and Structural Deficits: The article claims that Canada's reliance on electricity imports indicates a structural deficit. Mark clarifies that while British Columbia has imported power during droughts, this practice allows for strategic management of resources and has resulted in significant profits from power trading. He argues that imports can be beneficial and do not signify a failure of the grid. Throughout the conversation, Mark emphasizes the importance of updated information and the need to move beyond outdated narratives about renewable energy. He advocates for a future where clean energy is not only viable but also economically advantageous, countering the misconceptions perpetuated by the Fraser Institute's article.

We're living hand to mouth and having to borrow money from friends to pay the electric bills." These are the words of a woman who runs a textile firm in Pakistan. The Pakistan Textile Council has written to the government, warning that the country faces an energy crisis that could force manufacturing companies to shut down. Sam Fenwick is joined by a California wildfire expert who has been at the forefront of modelling high-risk areas for years.

Energy costs across the U.S. “would probably go down substantially” if the U.S. sharply increased mining and production of Alaska's natural resources, according to Adam Crum, commissioner for the Alaska Department of Revenue.  Geographically, Alaska is by far the largest U.S. state at more than 663,000 square miles. It is also among the most natural resource-dense states in the nation.  Alaska became a state in 1959, and under its Statehood Act, it is “mandated that the mineral resources and the subsurface rights were collectivized by the state so that the state could actually collect the royalties and production taxes off of that to fund the government,” Crum explains on “The Daily Signal Podcast.” While other states, such as Texas and North Dakota, can have “individual farmers who actually have mineral rights, nobody has that in Alaska,” he said, explaining that his state was “set up to be a resource-development state since inception.”  One of the world's largest zinc and lead mines can be found in northwest Alaska and has now “been producing for over 40 years and has provided very extensive jobs,” according to Crum.  The mine has allowed the local indigenous population in northern Alaska to “not only have an economy to stay there, but you have this town now, it's about 4,000, 5,000 people of primarily Inupiat Eskimos living up there. They get to benefit from this, and they can still get to live a subsistence lifestyle,” Crum explains.  Asked about the environmental effects of mining and drilling in Alaska, the revenue commissioner said life expectancy has increased in native communities where natural resources are being extracted as industry has strengthened local economies and increased the quality of life.  Crum joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the vast natural resources Alaska has to offer.  Alaska House of Representatives Speaker Cathy Tilton joins the show after the conversation with Crum to discuss the greatest challenges facing America's most northern state, and to share some of Alaska's best-kept secrets.  Enjoy the show!
