The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/22/2025): 3:05pm- According to new data from CNN's Harry Enten, despite Donald Trump's personally low approval ratings, Republicans still possess massive polling advantages on three key issues: the economy, immigration, and crime. Enten joked that the Democrats have become the New Orlean Saints of political parties—which bodes poorly for the party's hopes of taking the House of Representatives and/or Senate in 2026. 3:10pm- On Sunday, Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill held their first NJ Gubernatorial debate at Rider University. During one notable moment, Sherrill refused to pledge that she wouldn't raise taxes on New Jersey citizens. One new poll now has Ciattarelli leading by 1-point. 3:30pm- During Sunday's debate, Mikie Sherrill attempted to explain why she voted in favor of a bipartisan House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—but publicly denounced Kirk, lying about his past comments and baselessly claiming he wanted to” roll back the rights of women and Black people.” Sherrill was unable to answer when confronted with her inconsistencies and falsehoods. 3:40pm- On Sunday, a memorial service for Charlie Kirk was held in Glendale, Arizona—with 73,000 inside of State Farm Stadium and an estimated 200,000 people in total showing up to the event. In a powerful moment during the ceremony, Erika Kirk said she forgives her husband's accused killer. 3:50pm- During her Monday briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that President Donald Trump plans to sign an Executive Order designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. 4:05pm- Kimmel is Back: Last week, ABC/Disney indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel's comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network's move appeared to be a result of Kimmel's comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel's vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many expressed concern that Carr's warning amounted to a First Amendment violation. ABC/Disney is now announcing that the suspension has concluded, and Kimmel will be back on-air Tuesday night. Rich notes that if Carr had not opened his mouth and baselessly threatened ABC/Disney, Kimmel's show would have likely ended permanently. Did Carr inadvertently save Kimmel's career? 4:20pm- Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump: “If you could eat only one thing for a week, what would it be?” Trump responded, “probably steak.” 4:40pm- Joe Gruters—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show for his first interview since becoming RNC Chair last month! He discusses his experience as a Florida State Senator, November's New Jersey gubernatorial election, and more. Chairman Gruters explains, “I'm committed to do whatever it takes to make sure we give the President a full four years [with a Republican-controlled House & Senate]” so “he continues to save the world.” 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump—alongside Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, & NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya—delivered remarks on Autism research which may link between acetaminophen usage during pregnancy to the condition. 5:30pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Sunday night's NJ gubernatorial debate between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill. 5:55pm- Tom Azelby hosts the 6pm Hour of The Rich Zeoli Show!

Is lying about Charlie Kirk's assassin's political leanings in the public's best interest? Kimmel's abysmal ratings suggest the answer is no.

Disney-owned ABC has just canceled the Jimmy Kimmel show—exactly as Trish Regan predicted. The cancellation, which is “indefinite” but likely permanent, follows Kimmel’s shocking and offensive comments in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. With the FCC Chair threatening action and affiliates refusing to air the program, ABC pulled the plug. On today’s show, Trish Regan exposes the hypocrisy of those on the left, who a're outraged by Kimmel’s removal. She explains why their complaints don’t hold up—reminding viewers that the FCC has authority over broadcast affiliates, while cable news can say whatever it wants.
In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we start with audio from Dick Durbin lableing his own party as a "party of murderers" all related to hate speech toward Charlie Kirk's murder. Also Disney is pulling ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "indefinitely," Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced earlier it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. Audio from the FCC Chair explaining why it's important for TV stations to serve the public intrest. Also the marketplace of ideas and listener/viewer habits, the left's attempt to sell you something that's untruthful, the Fed cuts interest rates, a massive asteroid nearly the size of a New York skyscraper will make a close approach, or pass, by Earth in the early hours of Sept. 18, according to scientists. But good news..NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have confirmed it poses no immediate threat because updated measurements have ruled out a collision and the asteroid has now been taken off the risk table (whew). Also Cracker Barrel's 4th quarter numbers as they quckly revert back to their longtime sucessful business model and much more.

Brendan Carr has been tapped by President-elect Trump to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, a current FCC commissioner, has pledged to dismantle what he calls the "censorship cartel" and overhaul how broadcast and tech media are regulated. Carr also co-authored the FCC section of the right-wing "Project 2025," which aims to target big tech, cut diversity and equity efforts, and consider pulling TV licenses for content deemed not in the public interest. Critics warn that this agenda, coupled with Carr's ties to Elon Musk, could open doors to punishing media voices and stifling speech that challenges Trump's narrative. By scaling back diversity efforts and potentially revoking TV and radio licenses based on content, his policies could restrict platforms and even suppress Black voices or dissenting perspectives, also threatening hard-won progress in media representation and equitable access.

Former FCC Chair Tom Wheeler joins Lawfare Tarbell Fellow Kevin Frazier and Lawfare Senior Editor Alan Rozenshtein to discuss the latest developments in AI governance. Building off his book, “Techlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded Age?” Wheeler makes the case for a more agile approach to regulating AI and other emerging technology. This approach would likely require the creation of a new agency. Wheeler points out that current agencies lack the culture, structure, and personnel required to move at the speed of new technologies. He also explores the pros and cons of the Bipartisan Senate AI Working Group's roadmap for AI policy. While Wheeler praises the collaboration that went into the roadmap, he acknowledges that it may lack sufficient focus on the spillover effects of more AI development and deployment.
