Rich suspects the Democrat firewall won't hold—but it's going to be close so “do your part and vote!” 3:15pm- According to a report from New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, prediction markets—like PolyMarket and Kalashi—are routinely flooded with “dark money” which may be manipulating public perception of prominent political races, specifically the NYC mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo.

Which candidate can get their supporters to the polls? 6:00pm- Mike Opelka hosts the final hour of the show as Rich prepares for his Politics & Pints event with New York Times best-selling author and Navy SEAL Jack Carr.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Mike Opelka joins Rich for The Drive at 5—where they attempt to define “scalability,” listen to new Zeoli show jingles, and discuss Kamala Harris's new book (no, Mike didn't buy it, but he did slow down the audio book and make her sound drunk). Plus, The View's Sunny Hostin says she doesn't understand why physical standards should be important for those serving in the United States armed forces! She wants fat troops!? Speaking of which, someone has leaked KFC's eleven secret herbs and spices!

Whatever that means…. 4:00pm- Brent Sadler—Senior Research Fellow for Naval Warfare and Advanced Technology in the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's new combat directives to senior military officials. During a speech from Quantico, Virginia earlier today, Hegseth memorably declared: “Simply put, if you do not meet the male level physical standards for a combat position, cannot pass a PT test, or don't want to shave and look professional—it's time for a new position.” 4:30pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed executive orders lowering the cost of pharmaceuticals and vowing to use technological innovations, like artificial intelligence, as well as increased federal funding to defeat childhood cancer. 4:40pm- While speaking with the press, President Donald Trump said the U.S. is likely to experience a government shutdown at midnight on Tuesday—noting that Democrats won't agree on a continuing resolution (CR) and are demanding government-provided healthcare for migrants residing in the country illegally. President Trump said if Democrats remain unreasonable, he will use the shutdown to make permanent cuts to the federal workforce. 5:00pm- Mike Opelka joins Rich for The Drive at 5—where they attempt to define “scalability,” listen to new Zeoli show jingles, and discuss Kamala Harris's new book (no, Mike didn't buy it, but he did slow down the audio book and make her sound drunk).

Plus, when will the next James Bond be named? 6:30pm- On Tuesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued new combat directives to senior military officials during a speech from Quantico, Virginia. Hegseth memorably declared: “Simply put, if you do not meet the male level physical standards for a combat position, cannot pass a PT test, or don't want to shave and look professional—it's time for a new position.”
