The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/25/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani earned 43.5% of the Democratic primary vote, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo to win the party's New York City mayoral nomination. Incumbent NYC Mayor Eric Adams will challenge Mamdani as an Independent in November. 3:20pm- In an interview with Fox News, New York City Mayor Eric Adams called Zohran Mamdani a “snake oil salesman” with “unrealistic” policies. 3:25pm- In his Democratic Primary victory speech, Zohran Mamdani promised to use his potential mayoral powers “to reject Donald Trump's fascism” and “to stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors.” 3:40pm- When asked if Mamdani's win means the Democratic Party will embrace democratic socialism moving forward, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) declined to answer directly. 4:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show LIVE from Heritage Foundation studios in Washington D.C. Dr. Coates reacts to a CNN report suggesting that the Trump Administration's targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities only set back Iran several months. The Trump Administration has vociferously denied the claim. During the 2025 NATO Summit, Secretary of State Marco Rubio flatly denied the report—saying the strike resulted in the “total obliteration” of Iran's nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump cited a letter from the Atomic Energy Commission which stated the “enrichment facility” is now “totally inoperable.” Dr. Coates is the author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” 4:30pm- Should we be more concerned about artificial intelligence? A new report suggests that AI has learned to “blackmail” its users in order to achieve its goals. A second article suggests reliance on AI could stifle the intellectual growth of children. 5:00pm- Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview his Energy and Innovation Summit on July 15th, discuss the Trump Administration's targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the Philadelphia Inquirer's article on his successful first six months in office. 5:20pm- During the House Oversight Committee's hearing on DOGE cuts, Congressman Brandon Gill (R-TX) asked a far-leftist: how do you define “birthing person”? 5:25pm- On Tuesday, the House of Representatives rejected Congressman Al Green's (D-TX) attempt to impeach President Donald Trump over his decision to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.

The Author Events Series presents Mike Sielski  | Magic in the Air REGISTER In Conversation with Buzz Bissinger The evolution of basketball, and much of the social and cultural change in America, can be traced through one powerful act on the court: the slam dunk. The dunk's history is the story of a sport and a country changed by the most dominant act in basketball, and it makes Magic in the Air a rollicking and insightful piece of narrative history and a surefire classic of sports literature. When basketball was the province of white men, the dunk acted as a revolutionary agent, a tool for players like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell to transform the sport into a Black man's game. The dunk has since been an expression of Black culture amid the righteous upheaval of the civil-rights movement, of the threat that Black people were considered to be to the establishment. It was banned from college basketball for nearly a decade--an attempt to squash the individual expression and athleticism that characterized the sport in America's cities and on its playgrounds. The dunk nevertheless bubbled up to basketball's highest levels. From Julius Erving to Michael Jordan to the high flyers of the 21st century, the dunk has been a key mechanism for growing the NBA into a global goliath. Drawing on deep reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and other hoops experts, Magic in the Air brings to life the tale of the dunk while balancing sharp socio-racial history and commentary with a romp through American sports and culture. There's never been a basketball book quite like it. MIKE SIELSKI is a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer and the author of four books. The Associated Press Sports Editors voted him the country's top sports columnist in 2015, and his previous book, The Rise: Kobe Bryant and the Pursuit of Immortality, was published in 2022. Sielski lives in Bucks County, Pa., with his wife and two sons. Buzz Bissinger is among the nation's most honored and distinguished writers. A native of New York City, Buzz is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Livingston Award, the American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award and the National Headliners Award, among others. He also was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He is the author of the highly acclaimed nonfiction books: Friday Night Lights, A Prayer for the City, Three Nights in August, Shooting Stars and Father's Day.

After 19 years, paranormal researcher Larry Arnold returns to talk with Gene and cohost Tim Swartz about the strange and frightening phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion (SHC). He is regarded by many as the world's expert on SHC, but others regard him  as a “mystery monger” and “world-class fool.” After leaving Lafayette College and a brief career in electrical engineering, Arnold founded PSI: ParaScience International in 1976 to pursue the exploration of Fortean anomalies and consciousness. His controversial article published in August 1978, titled “Meltdown…at TMI-2,” would 8 months later be termed “uncannily accurate” by The Philadelphia Inquirer in presaging the future of that nuclear power plant's “impossible” Class IX meltdown near his home. The tragedy was best known as Three Mile Island. This discussion will cover both the nuclear incident and his 1995 classic title, “Ablaze!” This large book contains hundreds of unbelievable examples of The Fire Within, culled from long-forgotten obscure medical journals and never-before-published interviews with witnesses to the impossible. Arnold has been a guest on hundreds of radio and internet-radio programs and a number of radio and TV shows that include provocative radio host Howard Stern. He has also delivered lectures at a number of colleges and universities. His “unofficial” website is www.ParaScience.com. Caution: This episode has graphic descriptions of episodes of spontaneous human combustion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

How prepared are the Eagles to defend their Super Bowl title? This question likely won't get answered until the regular season kicks off in a few months. Odds are, it might even take longer than that; a few games, perhaps, to gauge the Eagles' 2025 potential. But one thing is for sure: NFL teams begin building their DNA and habits in the spring through organized team activities and minicamps. With the Eagles having wrapped up their workouts earlier this week, The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane takes account of everything he saw and heard down at Eagles headquarters, and, based on early tea leaves, forecasts what to expect going into training camp - especially on defense, where coordinator Vic Fangio will once again have to manage substantial personnel turnover. 00:00 “Fake news” 05:18 Will this be Jordan Davis' year? 11:09 Bye bye Bryce Huff; hello new opportunities for edge rushers 16:12 Jihad Campbell update 19:49 Cooper DeJean could have dual role 23:43 Replacing C.J. Gardner-Johnson 27:45 What to expect from offense unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy.

There's no other elected official in Philly getting more scrutiny right now than Sheriff Rochelle Bilal. Some even want her office abolished. Just this week, The Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board called for her fellow elected Democrats to take her to task for a range of alleged mismanagement, corruption, and security problems uncovered by reporters. So on today's show host Trenae Nuri goes down to the Sheriff's Office on Broad Street and hears directly from Philly Sheriff Rochelle Bilal. She argues that she fixed a broken office, denies that there have been security problems on her watch at the courthouses, and calls for a huge increase in her budget.  Thoughts on the sheriff and her office?

Both the Chicago Sun-Times AND the Philadelphia Inquirer unknowingly published an AI-generated summer reading list featuring completely made-up books.  King Features, a Hearst syndicate that licenses content nationally, produced the 56-page insert called “Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer,” which also included things like summer foods and summer activity recommendations.  The journalist who wrote the piece, Marco Buscaglia, used AI to help create the reading list and unfortunately did not double check the work, so did not see the fake book titles attributed to real-live best-selling authors.  King Features did not fact check Marco's work (rookie mistake!).  The Chicago Sun and the Philly Inquirer did not double check the insert from King (another rookie mistake!).  The papers' readers alerted the papers to what was up (heroes!) and the papers issued apologies for the mistake. More importantly, Theo learns a new word this episode that he will never use again!

Tom welcomes back Lyn Alden, Founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, to the show to discuss the intricacies of trade deficits, the role of the US dollar as a global reserve currency, and the broader economic implications for the United States. Lyn explains that a trade deficit occurs when a country imports more than it exports, and while some countries experience this cyclically, others, like India, have managed structural deficits by investing in long-term growth rather than overconsumption. The US, however, faces a unique challenge: its trade deficit is deeply tied to its status as the world's reserve currency, which creates an excess demand for dollars and makes it difficult to manufacture competitively. Lyn highlights that the dollar's strength perpetuates this cycle, making imports expensive and exports cheaper, while also forcing the US to rely on foreign investment to fund its deficits. This dynamic has contributed to deindustrialization and a shift in economic power globally. She contrasts this with historical examples like the UK during the Bretton Woods era, where a similar situation led to stagnation before the rise of new powers like the US. The discussion shifts to fiscal dominance, where large government deficits constrain monetary policy, making central banks more reliant on fiscal authorities. Lyn notes that the Fed is increasingly limited in its ability to control inflation due to these fiscal pressures. She also addresses Trump's tariff policies, arguing they harm domestic industries and shift costs onto American consumers while failing to address the root causes of trade imbalances. Inflationary pressures from tariffs are uneven, with specific sectors facing price increases while others experience disinflation. Lyn emphasizes that sustained inflation requires broader money supply growth, which has not been a significant factor in recent years. She concludes by exploring alternatives like gold and Bitcoin as potential reserve assets, suggesting that diversification into neutral reserves could help mitigate risks but remains largely theoretical at this stage.

Spies In My Blood: A Polish Family's Secret Fight Against Nazis & Communists (Polestar-Media, 2025) is the true story of two brothers raised in New York by WWII exiles and their journey to Poland. Each takes a different path to infiltrate the Communist secret police on a mission to uncover the truth about their family of soldiers, spies, and assassins. Which brother would go into the family business?Alex Storozynski was the first in his family born in the United States, a new leaf on the family tree. When he set out to find his roots in Poland during the Cold War, his Mama stitched secret pockets into boxer shorts where he could hide his cash, passport, and important documents. Before he left to go behind the Iron Curtain, his mother warned him: “Be careful of your brother's friends.” His big brother George, a banker, told him, “Mama doesn't want you to go into the family business.”As an aspiring journalist, Storozynski interviewed Polish rock stars, filmmakers, and artists fighting censorship. He navigated the black market and learned to thrive in the surreal and repressive system. He persuaded the Communist government to give him a scholarship to write a doctoral dissertation about the most hated man in Poland, the military regime's press spokesman, Jerzy Urban. But he asked too many questions.Storozynski attended Urban's press conferences with American journalists and met underground Solidarity activists trying to overthrow the government. He translated interviews with opposition leaders like Lech Wałesa for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Boston Globe.There's a Polish saying, “You can't fool your genes; it's in your blood.” The Communist secret police (SB) stole Storozynski's visa and interrogated him. When Senator Ted Kennedy arrived in Warsaw to give The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award to Adam Michnik and the parents of martyred opposition priest Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, Storozynski spent time with the Kennedy clan and taught them to sing Sto Lat (May He Live 100 Years) to the opposition.The SB had enough. After investigating Alex Storozynski, they wrote: “The findings in the case show that he is familiar with the working methods of special services.” Storozynski was declared an “enemy of the state” and banned from Communist Poland.This is the true story of Alex Storozynski's quest to uncover the nitty-gritty of three generations of spies in his blood.Winston Churchill's words serve as a stark warning: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” With the Russian Army again trying to move the border between East and Western Europe, the dormant Cold War has reignited a hot war. Russia's invasion of sovereign nations and killing of Ukrainians is a grim reminder of the need to avoid repeating history. Motorized terror squads are once again murdering Jews, and civilian bombing deaths are written off as collateral damage. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Alex Storozynski is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, award-winning author, filmmaker, songwriter, and President Emeritus & Chairman of the Board of The Kosciuszko Foundation.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

There are lots of sources you can go to for comprehensive NFL Draft analysis, but there's only one Mike Mayock. The suburban Philadelphia native and The Haverford School graduate played a few years in the league after a strong stint at Boston College, but his biggest claim to fame is indisputably as a draft expert. Between his seemingly endless familiarity with prospects and an ability to articulate their fits with NFL teams, Mayock has earned a reputation as a go-to draft guru. So, that's who The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane turned to when he wanted to go in-depth on the Eagles' 2025 draft picks. From the move up to nab Alabama's Jihaad Campbell to rumblings that other general managers were reluctant to do deals with Howie Roseman, Mayock examines the Eagles' rookies with two questions in mind: do they have the potential to positively impact the franchise's title defense, and can they make up for talent lost earlier in the offseason? 00:00 Tackling the Eagles' moves in the 2025 NFL Draft with analyst Mike Mayock 04:03 First-round pick Jihaad Campbell: where to play him and injury concerns 12:28 Second-round selection Andrew Mukuba: does size really matter? 19:45 Don't sleep on the third-day prospects 26:05 What's been Howie Roseman's secret to drafting quality starters in recent years? 33:47 Rumor or real life: Are other GMs avoiding trades with Roseman? unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.

Imagine this: you've got an exclusive, high-profile, high-pressure gig; only 31 other people on the planet do what you do. You're on vacation; your regular spot in a relatively obscure location. Then, off in the distance, you see someone familiar approaching. Could it really be one of your professional peers, out for a leisurely bike ride in the same vacation town? A little more than a decade ago, longtime Baltimore Ravens executive Ozzie Newsome and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman weren't close. A chance encounter along the Alabama gulf shore changed that, and sowed the seeds for a valuable friendship - personal and professional - between the two NFL personnel men. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane examines the role that Newsome's mentorship and other key moments in Roseman's life have played in propelling the Eagles' GM to the top of his profession. 00:00 A chance encounter with Howie Roseman 04:38 Jake Rosenberg reflects on life with a young Howie 06:47 What makes Roseman a great GM? 13:54 In lockstep with Jeffrey Lurie 18:50 The Chip Kelly crisis 28:18 Another shot 36:24 Roseman's legacy unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.

The Washington Monthly called him as “one of America's most important journalists.” The Portland Oregonian said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens. Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trump's was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to the Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House. The San Jose Mercury recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19 The Mercury hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page. Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy.

The weather in Palm Beach during the annual NFL owners meetings was touch-and-go by South Florida standards. One attendee, however, was certainly shining brighter than most. Yes, Jeffrey Lurie, on the heels of his Philadelphia Eagles winning a second Super Bowl title in seven years, was aglow. Not only that, his public comments sent a clear message to the rest of the league: he expects the franchise to keep winning, and winning big. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reads between the lines of Lurie's remarks at the owners meetings, and also sits down with Sportsradio WIP's Hugh Douglas, who recently aired some thoughts on his show about Jeff's personality. 00:00 Jeff addresses his supposed "dry" personality 05:28 Hugh Douglas explains his comments, talks Eagles 24:14 A debrief from the NFL owners meetings unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.

The draft board raids were part of an antiwar movement, largely grounded in Catholic religious convictions, that spanned almost four years. Part one covers the basic context of the Vietnam War and why the U.S. was involved in the first place, and the earliest raids on draft boards. Research: "Statement: the Boston Eight" Newsletter.

I told you yesterday that Trump help his announcement of his "Liberation Day" Tariff plan to crash the world's economies until 4pm because he didn't want us to see the stock market crashing in real time as he unveiled his nefarious plans. Today, he's off again to Florida for a golf tournament at one of his clubs, while most of the rest of the nation is watching their 401k values plummet. (So now, in 72 days, the orange one has taken off 15 days and spent more than $26 million of taxpayer money at his gold clubs, but I digress...)At the same time we're in shock over the stupidity that's intentionally crashing down around us, we're still feeling energized by Cory Booker and his record-breaking 25 hour+ speech that ended yesterday. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Will Bunch wrote a wonderful column about it today, and he joins us to talk about it on today's show.

Sheil is joined by EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer from the NFL owners meetings to discuss the latest on the possible removal of the "Tush Push." Is the idea of removing the play complete garbanzo beans, as Sheil would say (7:03)?

We know Howie Roseman is passionate. Obsessive, too. These traits have revealed themselves constantly throughout his 15-year tenure as the Philadelphia Eagles' general manager, propelling him to the top of his profession. The characteristics, however, show up in other parts of his life as well, specifically one of his favorite endeavors away from the game. Join The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLaneas he chats with Roseman about his “other” big obsession, and explores how it overlaps and has become intertwined with his day job - building a championship-winning roster for one of the most successful NFL franchises in the last decade. 00:00 Howie Roseman's other obsession 05:10 A serious eater 09:13 The origins of a foodie 15:53 How Roseman's football and foodie worlds intertwine unCovering the Birds is a production of The Philadelphia Inquirer and KYW Newsradio Original Podcasts.

Everyone knows John Fetterman here in Western PA — he was the Democratic mayor of nearby Braddock, rose to lieutenant governor under Tom Wolf, and now he's the commonwealth's senior U.S. Senator — in part, because he rode a progressive blue wave. But these days, the Harvard-educated AmeriCorps alum is increasingly aligned with MAGA Republicans. Ahead of a ticketed event in Pittsburgh this weekend, we're teaming up with City Cast Philly's Matt Katz and Philadelphia Inquirer political reporter Julia Terruso to talk about Fetterman's evolving priorities and what they could mean for us here in Pennsylvania. Fetterman's event will be co-hosted by fellow U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) to promote McCormick's new book about mentorship, “Who Believed in You.” The location is still TBD, possibly because some groups in Pittsburgh are planning to protest. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Free Store, founded in 2012 by Gisele Barreto Fetterman, who is also on the schedule to attend. Former Congressman Conor Lamb, who lost the Democratic primary against Fetterman in 2022, has been a vocal critic of Fetterman's lately. He's holding his own town hall in State College on Saturday with the Centre County Democratic Committee.  Learn more about the sponsors of this March 27th episode: Pittsburgh Opera History UnErased Become a member of City Cast Pittsburgh at membership.citycast.fm.

Sheil is joined by EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer to discuss the latest Eagles signings. First, Eagles legend Brandon Graham retired on Tuesday after an up-and-down, 15-year career that resulted in two Super Bowl rings. Sheil and EJ encapsulate the great player and person BG is (3:22). The Eagles signed former Giants and Georgia LB Azeez Ojulari to a one-year deal. What could he add to this defense that has lost a few key members to free agency (23:57)?
