The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (03/17/2025): 3:05pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump issued orders to deport roughly 250 dangerous gang members who entered the U.S. unlawfully—sending them to El Salvador where they will be held at the country's “terrorism confinement center.” Judge E. Boasberg, of the U.S. District Court for D.C., ordered the Trump Administration to have the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the United States. However, due to the late timing of the order, the Trump Administration followed through with the deportation as planned. The administration contends the removals were lawful and within the established powers of the executive branch. 3:30pm- According to research from the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, former President Joe Biden signed dozens of executive orders with an “autopen”—raising questions about the legitimacy of those actions. Did Biden know what he was signing? Earlier this year, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed that during a closed-door meeting Biden had no recollection of signing an executive order that effectively froze new liquid natural gas export permits. While aboard Air Force One this weekend, President Donald Trump said that Biden's autopen pardons should be “null and void.” 4:05pm- Hans von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss birthright citizenship. The Trump Administration has requested that the Supreme Court review the president's executive order effectively narrowing “birthright citizenship” to exclude children born in the United States to parents who are undocumented citizens residing in the country illegally. Federal courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have paused President Donald Trump's executive order. 4:30pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) clips from the Sunday shows. D'Agostino compiled an incredible montage of the media worshipping Elon Musk before his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. PLUS Sen. Mark Kelly decided to sell his Tesla, explaining: "Every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people.” And Joy Reid says the United States is no longer the land of opportunity—despite her $3 million salary. 4:50pm- On Friday, several Senate Democrats—following Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's recommendation—broke the filibuster allowing Republicans to pass a continuing resolution bill that prevented a government shutdown at least through September. According to reports, Sen. Schumer is now being targeted for a primary challenge and must even delay his book tour due to progressive backlash. 5:05pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump issued orders to deport roughly 250 dangerous gang members who entered the U.S. unlawfully—sending them to El Salvador where they will be held at the country's “terrorism confinement center.” Judge E.

Bessent declined to offer a guarantee but emphasized he sees no reason for there to be one. 5:15pm- According to a new NBC poll, 44% of Americans now believe the country is headed in the right direction—the highest percentage of Americans since 2004. 5:20pm- While appearing on Senator Ted Cruz's podcast, Elon Musk revealed that the Department of Government Effi ...

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger journey to the shores of Indian Lake in Worcester, Massachusetts, where a bizarre and terrifying encounter sent shockwaves through the community in 1904. Witnesses described a creature lurking in the water—its body as large as a dog, but with eerie, bat-like wings and a long, scaly tail. Even more unsettling, the beast may have also been seen prowling the land nearby. Dubbed the What-Is-It by bewildered newspapers, this mysterious entity left behind more questions than answers. Was it a cryptid, a misidentified animal, or something even stranger?

A brutal snowstorm swept through Canton, Massachusetts, on January 29, 2022, but it wasn't just the weather that left destruction in its wake. Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow outside a fellow officer's home, and what started as a seemingly straightforward case quickly unraveled into a legal circus filled with scandal, suspicion, and claims of a cover-up. Prosecutors say O'Keefe's girlfriend, Karen Read, struck him with her Lexus SUV after a drunken argument, then left him to die in the cold. At first, they considered it an open-and-shut case—until a bombshell scandal involving the lead investigator threw everything into chaos. Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, the officer responsible for investigating Read, had a lot to say about her—but not in court filings. In private text messages later exposed in trial, he called her a “wack job,” a “babe… with no a--,” and far worse. He joked about searching her phone for nude photos and even wrote that he wished she would kill herself. When these texts were read aloud in court, jurors shook their heads, and suddenly, the trial wasn't just about Read—it was about Proctor. The scandal became the defense's golden ticket. Read's attorneys pounced, arguing that this was never about a tragic accident at all. Instead, they claimed O'Keefe was beaten to death by people inside the house he was visiting that night—fellow law enforcement officers who then framed Read to protect themselves. A conspiracy theory? The prosecution certainly thought so. But after the first trial ended in a hung jury, the case is anything but resolved. Proctor, who was suspended without pay after his texts came to light, is now at the center of a growing debate. His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, has spoken out for the first time, blasting Read's defense as “unrelenting propaganda and disinformation” designed to distract the jury from the evidence. She argues that her husband's crude remarks don't change the facts and that Read's defense is manipulating public perception to gain an advantage in court. Read, meanwhile, is doubling down, giving interviews where she insists she was framed. She claims that O'Keefe got into a fight after she dropped him off at the house of Boston Police Officer Brian Albert—and that those inside the home know exactly what happened. Prosecutors counter that there's only one reason Read is the only person charged: because she's guilty. They point to the grand jury indictment, state and federal investigations, and physical evidence tying Read to the crime. They argue that the defense's focus on Proctor's inappropriate messages is nothing more than a distraction designed to muddy the waters and sway public opinion. The case isn't just playing out in court—it's also raging online, where Read's supporters have turned the trial into a social media firestorm. The Proctor family says they've been harassed and smeared by Read's most vocal defenders, and they fear the next jury may already be tainted by the spectacle. O'Keefe's family, still mourning his loss, has also taken legal action, filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Read. And with the retrial set to begin on April 1, both sides are gearing up for what's sure to be another battle—not just in the courtroom, but in the court of public opinion. #KarenRead #ElizabethProctor #TrueCrime #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's Monday, March 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Texas university lecturer on video harassing evangelist put on leave A University of Texas at Arlington philosophy lecturer who was seen in a viral video harassing a Christian evangelist says he's been placed on administrative leave, reports The Christian Post. In a video shared on March 9th, Charles Hermes, an undergraduate advisor and senior lecturer of Philosophy, is seen shouting "No justice!" at a pro-life street preacher during a pro-abortion rally in Fort Worth. The evangelist is heard asking, "Do you believe in Jesus?" to several bystanders in the video.  A campus reporter enters the frame and asks the preacher, "Why are you here?" The preacher replies, "I am here because I was brought here. I am here because all the children that are dying.” Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” Senate passes funding bill to avert government shutdown Last Friday, the U.S. Senate approved a House-passed bill to extend government funding by six months, hours before a shutdown deadline, reports The Epoch Times. In an initial procedural vote, 11 Senate Democrats joined Republicans to advance the measure. Afterwards, the Senate passed the bill in a 54–46 vote. Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Independent Senator Angus King of Vermont supported final passage. Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only Republican to oppose the package, because there were not deeper cuts in spending. PAUL: “President Trump has pledged to balance the budget. I want to help him with this task, but to balance the budget requires much less spending than this current bill entails. “Our national debt now exceeds $36 trillion. That's 124% of the size of our economy. That should not be a surprise. We're adding $2 trillion every year to the debt, this year included. “Critics of excessive federal spending have rightly argued that we should return spending to pre-pandemic levels. This is something I could support. The spending bill before us, though, spends $400 billion more than we were spending before the pandemic. Spending went through the roof during the pandemic, and it never came back down. And the deficits are out of control. “In order for this bill to get back to pre-pandemic levels, it would have to be $400 billion less. That's something I could support.” The legislation, which extends government funding through September 30, now heads to the desk of President Donald Trump, who's expected to sign it. Homeland Security revokes student visa of terrorist sympathizer Last Friday, the Department of Homeland Security announced it revoked the visa of one Columbia University student escalating its crackdown on those engaged in pro-Hamas demonstrations over the conflict in Gaza, reports The Hill. The stripping of the visa comes just days after the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a former grad student at the university, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Khalil has a green card. Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained the Trump administration's actions. RUBIO: “When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, we can deny you that visa. We can deny you that if you tell us, when you apply, ‘Hi, I'm trying to get into the United States on a student visa. I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages.' If you tell us, … ‘I intend to come to your country as a student, and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, antisemitic activities.' ... “This is not about free speech. This is about people that don't have a right to be in the United States to begin with. No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a green card.” Bill allows interrogation of homeschool parents Illinois homeschool advocates and supporters of private education are warning about a bill in the Illinois House that could involve the invasion of personal privacy and lead to government intrusion into the rights of parents to educate their children, reports LifeSiteNews.com. It's based on model legislation supported by a Massachusetts-based group that also warns about “parental rights extremism” and “Christian fundamentalists.” Illinois House Bill 2827 “would create new requirements for homeschooling families to report their educational activities to authorities,” according to the Home School Legal Defense Association. Deuteronomy 6:7 says, “You shall teach [the Commands of God] diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” The group, along with Illinois Christian Home Educators, recently had more than 2,000 people come out to the state capitol to rally in support of educational freedom. More than 20,000 people have also filled out witness slips against the pending bill and only 500 have voiced support. The legislation was introduced by Illinois Democratic Rep. Terra Costa-Howard and co-sponsored by another 15 State Reps. under the guise of protecting kids in homeschool from abuse and ensuring they're aware of opportunities for medical care and activities through their local school district.

Country band censored by TV station over patriotic song And finally, the Dugger Band, a patriotic country music group, was censored by television station WSMV in Nashville, Tennessee, reports Christian talk radio host Todd Starnes. The brothers -- Jordan and Seth Dugger -- had written a song called “True Colors.” They had been invited to perform on the station's “Today in Nashville” program. But when station management read the lyrics – they told the boys from the mountains of East Tennessee that it was politically biased – because it promoted America. The Dugger brothers said, “We wrote this song because we're proud to be Americans and we're tired of people putting the USA down.” Listen to some of the lyrics that offended the management at WSMV TV. “You're just sitting there sipping on that Starbucks cup Hating on everything, not doing anything I crank up some Toby Keith Climb back in my truck [Pre-Chorus] “And it don't matter where the chips may fall That Statue of Liberty will be standing tall The best part about the land of the free Is if you don't like it, you're free to leave [Chorus] “But I ain't leaving here I'm an eighth generation God-fearing blue collar with the flag waving And I don't wait for the Fourth of July It′s year round, life-long American pride “And right here, right now, I'm drawing the line If this country ain't something you can stand bеhind Then that's the differеnce 'tween me and you 'Cause my true colors are red, white and blue” If you object to WSMV-TV's decision to prohibit The Dugger Band from performing their patriotic song “True Colors,” send a polite email to comments@wsmv.com.

A brutal snowstorm swept through Canton, Massachusetts, on January 29, 2022, but it wasn't just the weather that left destruction in its wake. Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow outside a fellow officer's home, and what started as a seemingly straightforward case quickly unraveled into a legal circus filled with scandal, suspicion, and claims of a cover-up. Prosecutors say O'Keefe's girlfriend, Karen Read, struck him with her Lexus SUV after a drunken argument, then left him to die in the cold. At first, they considered it an open-and-shut case—until a bombshell scandal involving the lead investigator threw everything into chaos. Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, the officer responsible for investigating Read, had a lot to say about her—but not in court filings. In private text messages later exposed in trial, he called her a “wack job,” a “babe… with no a--,” and far worse. He joked about searching her phone for nude photos and even wrote that he wished she would kill herself. When these texts were read aloud in court, jurors shook their heads, and suddenly, the trial wasn't just about Read—it was about Proctor. The scandal became the defense's golden ticket. Read's attorneys pounced, arguing that this was never about a tragic accident at all. Instead, they claimed O'Keefe was beaten to death by people inside the house he was visiting that night—fellow law enforcement officers who then framed Read to protect themselves. A conspiracy theory? The prosecution certainly thought so. But after the first trial ended in a hung jury, the case is anything but resolved. Proctor, who was suspended without pay after his texts came to light, is now at the center of a growing debate. His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, has spoken out for the first time, blasting Read's defense as “unrelenting propaganda and disinformation” designed to distract the jury from the evidence. She argues that her husband's crude remarks don't change the facts and that Read's defense is manipulating public perception to gain an advantage in court. Read, meanwhile, is doubling down, giving interviews where she insists she was framed. She claims that O'Keefe got into a fight after she dropped him off at the house of Boston Police Officer Brian Albert—and that those inside the home know exactly what happened. Prosecutors counter that there's only one reason Read is the only person charged: because she's guilty. They point to the grand jury indictment, state and federal investigations, and physical evidence tying Read to the crime. They argue that the defense's focus on Proctor's inappropriate messages is nothing more than a distraction designed to muddy the waters and sway public opinion. The case isn't just playing out in court—it's also raging online, where Read's supporters have turned the trial into a social media firestorm. The Proctor family says they've been harassed and smeared by Read's most vocal defenders, and they fear the next jury may already be tainted by the spectacle. O'Keefe's family, still mourning his loss, has also taken legal action, filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Read. And with the retrial set to begin on April 1, both sides are gearing up for what's sure to be another battle—not just in the courtroom, but in the court of public opinion. #KarenRead #ElizabethProctor #TrueCrime #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

“The world's leading alien hunter” —New York Times MagazineFrom acclaimed Harvard astrophysicist and bestselling author of Extraterrestrial comes a mind-expanding new book explaining why becoming an interstellar species is imperative for humanity's survival and detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars.In the New York Times bestseller Extraterrestrial, Avi Loeb, the longest serving Chair of Harvard's Astronomy Department,presented a theory that shook the scientific community: our solar system, Loeb claimed, had likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien technology from a distant star.This provocative and persuasive argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast possibilities of our universe and the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. But a crucial question remained: now that we are aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life, what do we do next? How do we prepare ourselves for interaction with interstellar extraterrestrial civilization? How can our species become interstellar?Now Loeb tackles these questions in a revelatory, powerful call to arms that reimagines the idea of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Dismantling our science-fiction fueled visions of a human and alien life encounter, Interstellar provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how such an interaction might actually occur, resetting our cultural understanding and expectation of what it means to identify an extraterrestrial object.From awe-inspiring searches for extraterrestrial technology, to the heated debate of the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, Loeb provides a thrilling, front-row view of the monumental progress in science and technology currently preparing us for contact. He also lays out the profound implications of becoming—or not becoming—interstellar; in an urgent, eloquent appeal for more proactive engagement with the world beyond ours, he powerfully contends why we must seek out other life forms, and in the process, choose who and what we are within the universe.Combining cutting edge science, physics, and philosophy, Interstellar revolutionizes the approach to our search for extraterrestrial life and our preparation for its discovery. In this eye-opening, necessary look at our future, Avi Loeb artfully and expertly raises some of the most important questions facing us as humans, and proves, once again, that scientific curiosity is the key to our survival.Abraham (Avi) Loeb is the Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science at Harvard University, the longest-serving chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy, the founding director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative, and the current director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He also heads the Galileo Project, chairs the Advisory Committee for the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, and is former chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. Author of eight books and more than a thousand scientific papers, Loeb is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Physical Society, and the International Academy of Astronautics. In 2012, Time selected Loeb as one of the twenty-five most influential people in space. He lives near Boston, Massachusetts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Following a suggestion by Hannah Elder, Associate Reference Librarian for Rights and Reproductions at the MHS, we investigate one connection that we have to the Cemetery: a key to Robert C. Winthrop's tomb.  Mount Auburn is the first American cemetery that purposely combined commemoration with elements of experimental gardening, picturesque landscape design, and access to nature, starting a trend across the nation in the mid-19th century that led to the creation of the first public parks in this country.

It is a privilege to welcome actor Matt DeAngelis as a guest for a special edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Matt grew up on showtunes and Boston sports. Matt studied theatre at the University of Southern Maine and The Boston Conservatory before heading down Route 95 to NYC in 2004. In June 2009, Matt got the call to make his Broadway debut in the Tony-winning production of HAIR with Tony Award winner Diane Paulus at the helm. Matt continued with that production “Across the Atlantic Sea” to The West End in the role of “Woof” and then launched the first national US Tour of HAIR and was seen back on Broadway in the “Summer of Love” revival of HAIR.Following his time with the hippies, Matt launched the 1st National tour of Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT as the “Representative from Jingletown”. Matt's cross-country adventures continued in 2014 with the first national tour of ONCE, where he played “Svec” and five instruments. Over the last five years, Matt has been a veteran of almost 2,000 performances. Thankfully, Matt returned home to Broadway (again with Diane Paulus) in the hit musical WAITRESS, where he starred opposite Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller, two-time Grammy winner Jason Mraz, and seven-time Grammy nominee, and the show's composer, Sara Bareilles. He then toured the country with the WAITRESS National Tour as Earl opposite his real life wife, Christine Dwyer, as Jenna. Upon returning from the road Matt was a part of developing the World Premiere of The Secret Life of Bees at The Atlantic Theatre Company, directed by TONY winner Sam Gold. He also appeared in Orpheus Descending at Theatre for a New Audience.Matt DeAngelis made many performance appearances on television with these multiple shows, including Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Matt is also seen on Person of Interest, Madam Secretary, Marvel's Daredevil, EVIL, For Life, Chicago PD, FBI, and Waitress starring Sara Bareilles. Matt lives with his beautiful wife, fellow performer (and Bostonian) Christine Dwyer, and their Boston Terrier “Chowdah". Matt and Christine also co-own THE WORKING STUDIO, a music theatre and acting studio dedicated to unlocking people's potential and embracing individuality in the audition process. They have also launched a successful master class series, UPGRADE YOUR AUDITION, with other top industry professionals to demystify the auditioning and booking process. Matt DeAngelis also started the Saloon Sessions. The once-a-month jam session features Matt and his cast members from Swept Away as they perform a combination of Broadway, folk music, and pop tunes. DeAngelis has brought together an impressive group of performers in honor of his mother and the countless others affected by the disease. The series serves as a celebration of his mother, Janice, who passed away in 2022 from metastatic breast cancer.  Janice's love of theater and music and raises money for the millions of people affected by breast and other types of cancer. The show also welcomes special guests. For their upcoming March 16 show, Tony-nominated actor Tony Yazbeck (On The Town), Emma Pittman (The Outsiders and Back to the Future), and Stephanie Torns (Waitress and Wicked) will join the festivities at Hurley's Saloon in New York City.  Proceeds from the show will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.    On this special episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Matt DeAngelis spoke about performing in Hair, Swept Away, and Waitress. He also discussed starting the Saloon Sessions and how some of Broadway's biggest stars rally around the residency.Let's connect on social media: A) BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jacobelyachar.bsky.socialB) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JacobElyachar/C) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobelyachar/D) Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jacobelyacharE) Twitter (X): https://x.com/JacobElyacharF) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JacobElyacharBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

While the nation's big birthday party is coming up next year, in just a matter of weeks, Massachusetts will mark 250 years since the "shot heard 'round the world" - the battles of Lexington and Concord, which sparked the war against the British for American independence. The colonists were ready for the British that day thanks to careful planning and a group of militia members called the "Minute Men". Even today, the Minute Men's spirit is preserved by the Concord Minute Men, led by Captain Carl Sweeney. He talks with Nichole about what it's like to re-enact American history and their plans for this year's Patriots Day celebrations, and shares a bit of history, too.This segment is the second interview in our new series, "Revolutionary Roots", where we take a closer look at the stories, people, events, and local ties that connect New England to the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary in 2026.

#731 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/731   Presented by: Togiak River Lodge, On DeMark Lodge, Mountain Waters Resort Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors   Switching from freshwater to saltwater fly fishing isn't always easy, but today's guest makes it simple. In this episode, we talk with guide George Sylvestre about fly fishing Massachusetts and the flats of Cape Cod, the Tailwaters of the Northeast, and how to make a smooth transition between fresh and saltwater. George shares his top three differences between the two, plus expert tips on casting, reading the water, and targeting fish in both environments. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started, this episode is packed with insights to improve your game. Episode Chapters with George Sylvestre on Fly Fishing Massachusetts Mastering the Transition: From Trout Streams to the Saltwater Flats Many fly anglers start on freshwater rivers and lakes, but making the switch to saltwater fly fishing comes with some challenges. In this episode, guide and instructor George Sylvestre shares insights on fishing Massachusetts waters, from the tailwaters of the western part of the state to the flats of Cape Cod. He also introduces his Cape Cod School of Saltwater Fly Fishing, designed to help anglers confidently step into saltwater fly fishing. Key Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Fly Fishing: Casting in the Wind – Saltwater fishing almost always involves wind, so anglers need to adjust their casting technique. Longer Casts – Unlike trout fishing, where accuracy matters at short distances, saltwater fly fishing often requires reaching fish that are farther out. The Strip Set – Trout anglers often instinctively lift their rod when setting the hook, but in saltwater, a strip set is crucial to securing a strong connection with fast-moving fish. Fly Fishing in Massachusetts: A Diverse and Exciting Fishery Massachusetts offers fly anglers a wide range of fishing opportunities, from technical trout streams to expansive saltwater flats. George shares what makes this state a special place to fish, with its mix of tailwaters, freestones, reservoirs, and a world-class saltwater fishery. Top Fishing Opportunities in Massachusetts: The Deerfield River – A productive tailwater that holds brown trout, rainbows, and brook trout year-round. The Miller's River – A freestone river that challenges anglers with changing conditions and a variety of techniques including dry flies, nymphs, and streamers. Stillwater Reservoirs – Great for targeting smallmouth and largemouth bass, plus a fun spot to take kids fishing. Boston Harbor & Cape Cod – Striped bass fishing at its finest, with miles of coastline and ever-changing fishing spots. Exploring the Brewster Flats: Fly Fishing Cape Cod's Hidden Gem Cape Cod is known for its stunning coastline, but for fly anglers, the Brewster Flats offer one of the most unique and exciting fisheries on the East Coast. 12,000 acres of tidal flats create an ever-changing landscape where anglers can walk for miles in search of striped bass and bluefish. Why Fish the Brewster Flats Diverse Species – Stripers in May, bluefish in summer, and albies in the fall. Easy Access – Public access points make it simple to explore. Changing Conditions – A 12-foot tide swing means careful planning is key. Guides like George help anglers navigate this fishery with clinics and guided trips focused on timing, casting, and reading the water. Chasing False Albacore and Stripers in Cape Cod September fly fishing in Cape Cod is all about variety. Mornings start with chasing albies as they crash bait along the coast. These fish are fast, picky, and put up a serious fight. Instead of constantly running after them, George likes to find their pattern and let them come to him. Once the sun gets higher, it's time to head to the Monomoy rips, where strong currents create standing waves that attract striped bass, bluefish, and more albies. Fishing here is full of action—big fish, heavy flies, and rods bending deep into the backing. If you've never had an albie on a sinking line in rough water, you're missing out on one of the best fights in saltwater fly fishing. For those looking for a more classic flats experience, Monomoy's Great Flats offer prime striper action. As the tide pushes bait into shallow channels, stripers line up like cars in a traffic jam, waiting for the perfect ambush. It's sight fishing at its best—just be ready for fast-moving water and changing conditions. From Freshwater to Salt: How Cape Cod Became a Fly Fishing Obsession George's fly fishing journey started young, thanks to his grandfather's curiosity about the sport. Growing up on the Connecticut coast, he spent his days chasing bluefish and learning the rhythms of the water. His fly fishing passion really took off later, after a trip to the Catskills that changed everything. Over time, he found himself drawn back to Cape Cod, a place he visited every summer as a kid. What started as freshwater fishing in kettle ponds turned into a deep love for saltwater fly fishing. Eventually, George left his corporate career, got his captain's license, and never looked back. Now, he spends his days guiding anglers through the diverse waters of Massachusetts, from tailwater trout to stripers on the flats. Steelhead Dreams and Boat Tweaks: George Sylvestre's Off-Season Adventures When he's not guiding on the flats of Cape Cod, George is chasing steelhead on the Lake Erie tributaries. Every fall, he packs up his truck, cranks some Bob Marley, and makes the eight-to-ten-hour drive from Massachusetts for a few days of battling these powerful fish. This year, he's heading out in the spring for the first time, eager to see how the bite compares. Back at home, George can't stop tinkering with boats. Whether it's his 22-foot hydro sports skiff for saltwater or his drift boat for local rivers, he's always making small tweaks to improve the fishing experience. Cape Cod's tides and chop require a boat that can handle waves while still sneaking into quiet estuaries. It's a balance he's always fine-tuning, making sure his anglers get the best ride possible. Winter Fly Fishing in Massachusetts: Midges, Tight Lines, and Cold Water Challenges Winter fly fishing in Massachusetts means small flies, light tippet, and patient presentations. The Deerfield and Swift Rivers are prime spots this time of year, but they demand precision. With crystal-clear water, fish can see you just as well as you see them. That means size 22-26 midges and 6-7x tippet are the name of the game. George uses a mix of tight-line nymphing and indicator setups, depending on conditions. In his Avon Path Maker raft, he floats the Deerfield and Ware Rivers, sometimes stopping to let anglers wade into productive sections. In winter, trout sulk low and slow, so getting your fly right in front of them is key. It's not easy, but for those willing to bundle up and put in the work, the rewards are well worth it. Mastering the Wind: Saltwater Fly Casting Tips from George Sylvestre Saltwater fly fishing demands adjustments in casting technique, especially when dealing with constant wind. George shares three key casting strategies to help anglers adapt and make accurate presentations even in tough conditions: Sidearm Casting – Tilting the rod horizontally moves the fly away from your body, keeping it out of the wind. Casting Across Your Body – Shifting the rod to your non-dominant shoulder helps when the wind is coming from your casting side. Delivering on the Back Cast – Sometimes, turning around and making your back cast the delivery cast is the best way to fight the wind. Practicing these techniques before your trip—even in your yard—can make a big difference on the water. Whether you're fishing the Cape Cod flats or any windy saltwater spot, these casting adjustments can save the day and help you land more fish. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/731

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Breaking News: The Trump Administration has requested that the Supreme Court review the president's executive order effectively narrowing “birthright citizenship” to exclude children born in the United States to parents who are undocumented citizens residing in the country illegally. Federal courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have paused President Donald Trump's executive order. 4:15pm- Craziest Clips of the Day: A video clip has gone viral of a Oregon Consumer Advisory Councilmember announcing that she self identifies as a “turtle.” PLUS, a flashback to September 2024 when purple-haired Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro attempted to generate excitement with Gen Z by using popular social media terms like “rizzler” and “skibidi.” Gen Z producer Justin translates the lingo for Rich and Matt. 4:30pm- Since the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement gained momentum, have you paid closer attention to the ingredients in your food? 4:45pm- In a video posted to social media, President Trump's attorney and top aide Alina Habba visited former President Joe Biden's “fake Oval Office” stage at the White House—noting that Biden likely relied on the room because it housed an enormous teleprompter, making public addresses easier.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (03/13/2025): 3:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump met with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte in the White House. The two discussed numerous issues—including negotiating a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, China's global predations, and reciprocal tariffs. 3:10pm- According to research from the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, former President Joe Biden signed dozens of executive orders with an “autopen”—raising questions about the legitimacy of those actions. Did Biden know what he was signing? Earlier this year, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed that during a closed-door meeting Biden had no recollection of signing an executive order that effectively froze new liquid natural gas export permits. While appearing on the show yesterday, Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA) asked “who was actually making the decisions?” and insisted Congress must investigate. He noted: “it's not clear” if Biden is “cognitively able to remember” what happened or if he was even aware his signature was being used. 3:20pm- On Tuesday, after meeting with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that Ukraine agreed to terms for an immediate ceasefire with a willingness to enter “immediate negotiations to end this conflict [with Russia] in a way that's enduring and sustainable." On Thursday, during a press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was open to an agreement—though he insisted there needed to be alterations to the current terms—and that he is expecting to speak with President Trump over the phone in the coming days. 3:25pm- Since the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement gained momentum, have you paid closer attention to the ingredients in your food? 3:40pm- On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through September. The CR will now head to the Senate, which will require the support of several Democrats to overcome a 60-vote filibuster threshold. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), however, told reporters that Democrats will refuse to support the CR—which could mean the government shuts down on Friday at midnight. But according to Politico, a government shutdown may be in the Trump Administration's best interest—as the Attorney General and Office of Management of Budget will determine what federal activities are essential based on guidance that dates back to the Carter Administration. This would allow for DOGE to slash the size of government with even greater ease. 3:50pm- Disney Disaster: Disney's live action remake of the classic film Snow White is set to hit theaters on March 15th—but it's expected to bomb at the box office, potentially costing Disney hundreds of millions of dollars. Part of the problem, according to reports, is Disney's unwillingness to put the film's star, Rachel Zegler, on an extended promotional tour due to her past controversial comments which have included criticisms of the original Snow White story, nasty comments about castmates, and profane remarks about President Donald Trump and his supporters. 4:05pm- Breaking News: The Trump Administration has requested that the Supreme Court review the president's executive order effectively narrowing “birthright citizenship” to exclude children born in the United States to parents who are undocumented citizens residing in the country illegally. Federal courts in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have paused President Donald Trump's executive order. 4:15pm- Craziest Clips of the Day: A video clip has gone viral of a Oregon Consumer Advisory Councilmember announcing that she self identifies as a “turtle.” PLUS, a flashback to September 2024 when purple-haired Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro attempted to generate excitement with Gen Z by using popular social media terms like “rizzler” and “skibidi.” Gen Z producer Justin translates the lingo for Rich and Ma ...
