There have been days of anger and unrest in Los Angeles over illegal immigration raids and arrests. The ICE operations that sparked the protests began on Friday, the same day that perhaps the most infamous deportee, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was brought back to the U.S. after spending weeks in El Salvador. Although he's back in America, thanks to a Supreme Court order, he will now face federal human trafficking charges. Texas Republican Michael McCaul joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss Abrego Garcia's case, the unrest in Los Angeles, and why he believes there was a need for President Trump's tough immigration policies following four years of the Biden administration. It is primary day in the New Jersey gubernatorial race. While it's an off-year election, voter turnout and the extent to which President Trump's agenda is on voters' minds will draw significant attention. In recent elections, Republicans have made progress flipping blue districts red and attempting to turn the state purple. The Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Watley, joins the Rundown to discuss whether his party's momentum in states like New Jersey will continue into 2026, what the race in the Garden State may tell us about the national trends, and the importance of Congress passing that 'one big, beautiful bill'.  Plus, commentary from AEI Senior Fellow and former CPB board member, Howard Husock.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode: 3:05pm- According to reports, The Atlantic's editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat with Trump Administration officials discussing planned military strikes against Houthi fighters in Yemen. Spokesman for the White House National Security Council Brian Hughes said the messages Goldberg received appear to be “authentic.” In Goldberg's report, he noted that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz was responsible for the mistake and that he may have also violated a federal records law—as Waltz set some of the messages exchanged on Signal to auto-delete after one week. While speaking with the press from the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump defended Waltz and suggested he doubts his cabinet officials will rely on Signal for group discussions moving forward. 3:30pm- A recent Axios report notes that Democrats have their lowest favorability rating in the history of CNN polling, they have a bad 2026 Senate electoral map, and following the census in 2030—because residents of blue states are moving to red states in large numbers—Democrats will face an uphill battle in the electoral college in 2032. For example, California and New York are expected to lose a total of six House seats and, subsequently, six electoral votes. Rich notes he's not sure how the Democrat Party can turn things around—as they continue to embrace unpopular policies despite the results of the 2024 election. 4:05pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum requiring the immediate declassification of all information related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become one of the most controversial initiatives of the Trump administration, but what does it actually represent? We're joined by Shawn Steel, National Committeeman for the Republican National Committee, and Professor Luke Nichter, historian at Chapman University, to explore the deeper meaning behind this government restructuring effort.Our conversation reveals how DOGE taps into profound middle-class frustration with government spending and opacity. As Steele explains, "Elon Musk is taking the great angst of the great middle class in America... What has been going on all these years? Where is this money going?" This sentiment has fueled a movement that extends far beyond partisan politics, challenging what many see as an entrenched administrative state insulated from accountability.We examine fascinating demographic shifts showing how government employment has effectively created a new privileged class in many regions, especially in California where public sector jobs have grown at three times the rate of private employment while paying approximately twice the median income. This transformation represents what Joel Kotkin describes as "class warfare," pitting traditional middle-class Americans against a government-employed "clerisy" class.The discussion also places DOGE within broader historical context, suggesting we may be witnessing the early stages of a political realignment similar to shifts that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. Trump has successfully channeled widespread resentment among Americans who feel their tax dollars repeatedly bail out elites during crises while they themselves receive little support. As this movement spreads to state governments, we may be entering a new era of governance that emphasizes transparency and accountability.Join us to understand not just the mechanics of DOGE, but how it reflects deep currents in American society that are reshaping our political landscape. Whether you see it as long-overdue reform or dangerous disruption, this conversation will give you valuable context for one of today's most consequential political developments.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

His wife, Betsy Arakawa, was also found dead.

The Santa Fe County sheriff said he was hoping the autopsies would provide an answer to the cause of death. 3:40pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. During a joint press conference from the White House, Trump emphasized the need to end the war between Ukraine and Russia immediately—noting that Europe needs to provide Ukraine with the money and arms necessary to guarantee its long-term protection. Relatedly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit with Trump tomorrow to sign an agreement which will provide security guarantees in exchange for access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals. 3:45pm- While in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Vice President JD Vance was asked about his previous critiques of England's recent adversarial stance towards free speech. Vance stood by his statements and noted that England is currently pushing Apple to create a backdoor around encryption—which would allow government officials to gain access to private user data. Vance adroitly pointed-out that the creation of a backdoor would compromise all Apple products—leading to weakened security for American users as well. 4:05pm- Congressman Scott Perry—United States Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the budget plan that passed in the House of Representatives earlier this week. Although Democrats and far-left protesters claim the bill cuts Medicaid, Rep.

The Trawl ladies are dismayed to learn that worldwide Joe Rogan has three billion listeners. His is the most popular podcast in the world which is why it's rather disturbing to hear him saying that Musk isn't doing anything for the money..... Fortunately, plenty of other people, aren't as impressed and a clip of former governor Michael Steele, who was also chair of the Republican National Committee, losing his temper MSNBC is blistering and somewhat reassuring given the fact he's a Republican. Then we head to the Oval Office to discuss what happened when Musk's toddler started mouthing things at Trump. The ladies discuss. That scene was fascinating but perhaps more known about than the dialogue on X between Musk and someone called Ashley St Clair who claims Musk is the father of the child. The Trawl have the screengrabs, which is good because they were mysteriously deleted. Almost like someone at X didn't like them.There's more Musk scandal due to the fact that DOGE have published ultra classified information on their website only with no apparent repercussions while Trump spends his valuable time bullying Romania into releasing Andrew Tate. Good to see they have their priorities straight. There are under rated tweets as ever and pudding is by the wonderful Cody Dahler.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Friday, the United States Supreme Court released an unsigned 20-page opinion in TikTok, Inc. v. Garland which will allow for the federal government to create a nation-wide TikTok ban. Should the ban take effect, the social media application will no longer be available in Apple or Android stores—though, users who already have the app on their phone will be able to access the platform. Interestingly, without updates the app's performance and security features will degrade over time—making it especially susceptible to hacks.

Garland and determined that the federal government can ban a social media application owned by a foreign country designated as a foreign adversary. The ban could occur as soon as Sunday, January 19th—though the Biden Administration has stated they will not enforce the ban and will leave the decision up to the incoming Trump Administration. According to reports, Donald Trump—who will be sworn in on the 20th—is looking to save the app, potentially via an executive order or a partial sale of the company. Trump, according to The Washington Post, is also considering adopting “Project Texas” which would provide the U.S. government with a “kill switch” for TikTok should the app violate norms. 3:30pm- On Friday, Donald Trump's Homeland Security Secretary nominee Kristi Noem testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/18/2024): 3:05pm- Massive Year-End House Spending Bill. Catie Edmondson of The New York Times reports: “The stopgap spending bill congressional leaders agreed on this week began as a simple funding measure to keep government funds flowing past a Friday night deadline and into early next year, long after House Republicans elect a speaker and President-elect Donald J. Trump is sworn in. But by the time it was rolled out to lawmakers on Tuesday night, it had transformed into a true Christmas tree of a bill, adorned with all manner of unrelated policy measures in the kind of year-end catchall that Republicans have long derided. It is a 1,547-page behemoth of a package with provisions spanning foreign investment restrictions, new health care policies and a stadium for the Washington Commanders.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/us/politics/spending-bill-explainer.html 3:15pm- While speaking with CNN's Manu Raju, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) said he didn't realize that the proposed 1,500+ page stopgap spending bill included a provision that would increase the compensation of Congress members by nearly 40%.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 66: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN Russia has committed an act of war against this nation and our government. We were attacked last night, as certainly as if they came across the borders or BOMBED polling stations - 40 or more - 32 Russian bomb threats just in Fulton county Georgia alone. And what are you going to do about it, President Biden? What are you going to do about it Merrick Garland? There is real-time evidence of Russian interference in our elections. Russians deciding who becomes president, who goes to the Senate, the house. 32 bomb threats – many already identifying as coming from Russian email sources – in the most Democratic part of Georgia. A quarter of the state's black population subjected to a terror attack – in Fulton and DeKalb Counties. And in Pennsylvania – one that closed a county elections offense for an hour, at least 10 others. AND in Wisconsin. AND in Michigan. AND in Arizona – at least 10 in Arizona. AND when Georgia extended voting, the Republican National Committee went to court to stop it. Regardless of the outcome of the election, this is an act of war. Russian interference means Trump – Trump already admitted at the debate he talked to Putin AFTER he left office - and now Trump means Elon Musk and we know Musk has been in contact with Putin frequently since 2022, and turned Twitter into a whorehouse for pro-Russian and pro-Trump indoctrination. The Russians just shot our democracy in the heart and those who are there solely to protect it – and its citizens – have responded by establishing… a toll-free FBI tip line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
