The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: the “mostly peaceful protests” unfolding in Los Angeles, MSNBC personalities insisting there wasn't a riot in LA, and ABC's Terry Moran suspended after openly expressing disdain for White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller—accusing him of being filled with hatred. 5:35pm- Abel Maldonado—Former Lieutenant Governor of California—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to the violent protests unfolding over the weekend in Los Angeles, California. Maldonado notes that Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the mainstream media are condemning President Donald Trump for activating the California National Guard, but California residents are grateful.

Immigration advocates and the New York City Council are urging a judge to block federal law enforcement officials from working on Rikers Island. Plus, Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado is running for governor of New York. Also, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams banked $2 million last week in matching funds thanks, in part, to her opponent. Meanwhile, the city's child welfare agency is seven times more likely to investigate a Black family than a white one according to the agency's own numbers.

Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos is expected to face competition from fellow Democrats when she seeks re-election next year. That is due to how a signature-gathering controversy dragged down her First Congressional District campaign in 2023. She finished fourth in the 12-way Democratic primary, with just 8% of the vote. But Matos is already staking out the ground to defend her job as lieutenant governor and perhaps one day climb higher in local politics. She's speaking out about immigrant rights and small businesses, and drawing attention to the problem posed by so-called food deserts. The lieutenant governor in Rhode Island has just a few official functions, and some Rhode Islanders question the value of the office. So is Matos now making more of a difference as the state's second ranking elected official? And can people like her do more to tackle Rhode Island's biggest challenges? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in depth with Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos.

With Crossover Day just around the corner, Georgia lawmakers are entering a pivotal phase of the legislative session. On today's episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Patricia Murphy and Greg Bluestein sit down with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones to discuss key bills moving through the state Senate—including Gov. Brian Kemp's legal overhaul and Georgia's own version of a DOGE bill. Plus, we'll ask Jones about his political future and whether he's eyeing a 2026 run for governor.   Then, Chief Justice Michael Boggs' unexpected decision to step down from the Georgia Supreme Court has reignited debate over the long-standing trend of justices resigning mid-term rather than allowing voters to choose their replacements.   And in Washington, the Trump administration has issued a sweeping new directive that could lead to mass layoffs across federal agencies. We'll break down the potential impact on Georgia's workforce.   Have a question or comment for the show? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at 770-810-5297.
