The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Wednesday, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani visited with several Democratic members of Congress—including Reps.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/16/2025): 3:05pm- In a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote: “The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence' Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden's bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton's big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country's history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats' work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” 3:30pm- - Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap yesterday's successful Energy & Innovation Summit where CEOs from some of the biggest tech companies in the country pledged to invest $92 billion in Pennsylvania, much of which will go towards energy infrastructure allowing for the domestic development of artificial intelligence. 3:45pm- While speaking to the press on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said that people claiming his administration is preventing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files are being “foolish.” 4:05pm- On Wednesday, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani visited with several Democratic members of Congress—including Reps.

THIS WEEK ON CODE WACK! As Trump Administration attacks on public health care ramp up, what's California doing to fight back? Can the state break free from a system that puts profits over patients — and build a truly universal, single-payer healthcare system? Or will political roadblocks and federal inaction keep us stuck in a broken status quo? Bottom line, how close can California - the 4th largest economy in the world - get to single payer on its own? To find out, we spoke with Michael Lighty, president of Healthy California Now who has organized, advocated and developed policy for single-payer Medicare for All nationally and in California for over three decades. He's a founding fellow of the Sanders Institute, and he was healthcare constituency director for the Bernie 2020 campaign. Most recently, he co-wrote and was a leader in the successful campaign to enact California's Senate Bill 770, a critical step toward negotiating the federal waivers the Golden State needs to build a universal, publicly financed healthcare system.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal has introduced a powerful new bill called “Housing Not Handcuffs” to stop the criminalization of homelessness on federal land. This comes in response to the Supreme Court's Grants Pass v. Johnson decision, which gave cities more power to arrest or fine people for sleeping outdoors — even when no shelter is available.In this video, we break down what the bill does, who supports it, who opposes it, and what it means for the future of homelessness policy in the U.S. With rising housing insecurity and hundreds of new anti-homeless ordinances across the country, Jayapal's legislation could shape the national conversation.

This is powerfulWhat Does God's Word Say?John 11:47-5247 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, 52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.1 Corinthians 10:6-136 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. 12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

LaMonica McIver with assault of an ICE agent outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ because of her skin color. Carville argued: “I don't have any proof…but I think if it was a white congressperson, they would not have arrested her.” 6:15pm- Now Dom Giordano is in studio! What did he think of last night's NJ Republican Gubernatorial Primary? And will the One Big Beautiful Bill Act be passed? Plus is it sauce or gravy? 6:30pm- During a Wednesday Senate hearing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio destroyed progressive Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal during a debate over the revocation of student visas being held by those with anti-American proclivities. 6:40pm- While appearing on Fox News, Mark Halperin suggested that a hypothetical JD Vance-Marco Rubio presidential ticket in 2028 could end up being “preordained.”
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/21/2025): 3:05pm- Jake Tapper's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden's health decline, why did he ignore the story prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? Notably, during an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter. 3:30pm- Tom Homan—Trump Administration Border Czar—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss how the Big Beautiful Bill Act will benefit border security and fulfill President Donald Trump's campaign pledge to stifle illegal border crossings. He explains: “We have the most secure border in the most history of the country, but we need to finish it. We need to make it permanent!” 4:05pm- On Wednesday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. During the meeting, Trump confronted Ramaphosa with video clips and news articles documenting instances of genocide against white South African farmers. Ramaphosa denied the allegations, but Trump continued to pushback with evidence: "You do allow them to take land. And then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer—and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them." 4:15pm- In response to the Oval Office confrontation between President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, many media outlets ignored Trump's claims of an unfolding genocide—with CNN even accusing Trump of “ambushing” the South African president. 4:40pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump welcomed the NCAA Men's Basketball Champion Florida Gators to the White House. 4:50pm- While appearing on CNN, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” co-author Alex Thompson discussed a particularly disturbing report documented in his new book. Thompson explained that the 2024 Biden campaign spent millions of dollars on producing a fake town hall—but then couldn't use the content because Joe Biden's performance was so poor. 5:05pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealing that there is no evidence suggesting a larger conspiracy surrounding the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

This week, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., joined forces with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., to introduce ambitious Medicare for All legislation that would provide comprehensive coverage to every American without premiums, co-payments, or deductibles. The move comes at a striking moment — with Donald Trump in the White House and Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress, the bill's passage remains unlikely.In this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing, Jayapal delivers a candid assessment of Democratic strategy in the Trump era. "You can't just be an opposition party. You do have to also be a proposition party.” It's why Medicare for All was so important, she explains. “We have to show people that we are willing to un-rig the system.”Jayapal acknowledges critical missteps by her party. "A lot of my colleagues may have gotten scared off and somehow thought that what the American people wanted was for us to play footsie with Donald Trump instead of go toe to toe with him," she says. "And I think it is very clear now, after the first three months of destruction and chaos and cruelty, that that is not the way to go. This is not an administration that you want to try and get in bed with. This is an administration that we have to fight if we want to preserve our democracy."She has been particularly frustrated by her colleagues in the Senate. "The Senate had the ability to confirm Trump's Cabinet, and you saw many Democrats going along with those confirmations as if somehow this was OK to put these people who are completely incompetent and have no understanding whatsoever, and even worse have lots of things in their backgrounds that never should have allowed them to be confirmed as Cabinet members." The Senate, she adds, had “a certain power to stand up early that they didn't use."Now is the time, says Jayapal, to offer a clear roadmap for resistance. "My job now is to use the platform I have and the relationships I have to build the resistance movement on the outside and on the inside. And that is really on every level from Congress to the courts to the public."Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThere are signs of life in the Democratic Party, and if Republicans continue to badly underperform in special elections, the vibes could shift. But there are some things even a robust opposition can't really stop, when a president claims autocratic power, and is insulated from normal political considerationsAfter a brief discussion of Cory Booker's filibuster, and the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, Matt and Brian discuss the unitary executive theory. Specifically:* What is the unitary executive theory?* Is a rogue presidency really what Republicans had in mind when they concocted this theory a few decades ago?* Would adverse court rulings establishing an all-powerful, unaccountable executive mean the end of Fed independence, and a ruined economy?Then, behind the paywall, are there any legitimate reforms to our political system that would be both wise and make the government more responsive to election outcomes? Is there any circumstances under which this kind of king-like presidency would not devolve into criminality and corruption? Will any constitutional checks remain if the Supreme Court grants Trump's unitary executive claims, or will it be entirely up to the masses?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.
