The questions Montclair is wrestling with (“Raise taxes or accept restrictive state aid?”) are the same questions communities everywhere are facing.In this wide-ranging conversation, Sherrill discusses:Why public-school funding is cracking nationwideThe real barriers to affordable health care at the state levelHow utility-rate freezes would work — and what critics get wrongThe affordability crisis squeezing middle-class familiesWhat her election signals about the national political landscaOriginally recorded for Farnoosh's local podcast The Montclair Pod, this expanded So Money release provides a rare look at how a new governor thinks about money, power, and the policies that shape our financial lives.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 32: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Quislings. Traitors. Cowards. Capitulators. Collaborators. Fakes. Frauds. Enablers. Betrayers. Failures. Political Prostitutes. Senators Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King need to be expelled from the Democratic party and any that mistakenly think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried. Must be. They are not progressives, they are not pragmatists, they are not even moderates. They are fools. Their careers must be ended. Now. Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now. Done. Forgotten. Let us hear their names no more. Last night these eight Senators voted to fold, without any pressure, without any bribe, without anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off ObamaCare in order to reopen and fund the government – for only three months, mind you – in exchange not for magic beans but just the promise of a vote in which they’ll GET magic beans – a vote ON the health care subsidies - IF half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote about magic beans. Which they won’t win. Their rationalizations were pathetic and suggested their familiarity with the reality of the Senate, of Trump, of the Republican Party, was less than that of the average Senate Page. What's worse is, this happens now as the reality becomes more and clear: Trump’s mind is gone. It’s so bad even The Washington Post noticed. It’s so bad The Washington Post even put it on their front page. He’s hyping weight loss drugs. In The Oval Office. And how he and he alone can bring down their price. And a weight loss patient there to extoll weight loss drugs and say how safe they are and praise Trump’s wonderfulness… collapses. Folds. Drops, slow-motion, like a deflating inflatable tube man at a used car sales lot. Trump – whose mind is gone - not only doesn’t help the guy on the floor… he’s offended he upstaged him. And then Trump – whose MIND IS GONE - falls asleep. For the second time. Or as The Washington Post put it: “A Closer Look At Trump’s Apparent Struggles To Fight Off Sleep In The Oval Office” read the Post headline. “A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open…” 815 words follow. And four pictures. One of Trump – whose mind is gone - with one eye closed. One with one eye closed and two fingers rubbing it. One with both eyes closed. One where you can almost SEE the snoring. Even. The Washington Post. Knows It. Let’s step back from the nuts-and-bolts of the government shutdown to try to process how it was perceived by Trump…whose mind is gone. HE thought it would be a GOOD idea to cut off food stamps so lines at soup kitchens would get longer just as it was getting cold. He thought the correct political move as the Holidays approached was… government-sponsored starvation. He believed that the country would praise him for… gradually shutting down all air travel – including all air travel FOR HIS SUPPORTERS – first for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas and New Year’s. He thought these were good political moves. SPORTSBALLCENTER (30:00): Yes, legal gambling could send two Cleveland pitchers to jail for 65 years. But no, they didn't actually make a Shohei Ohtani Used Jockstrap baseball card. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico thinks the first thing a Mayor-Elect of New York has to do is answer questions about the 2028 Senate elections. The Breaker media newsletter finds the New York Times fricasseeing its own digital books. That's right: FIFA isn't just polishing Trump's knob, it's inventing a "Peace Prize" so it can polish it harder. And Dr. Oz wants you to lose 400 pounds by the midterms. C-Block (55:00) WHY I'M NOT A HOCKEY ANNOUNCER: One of my favorite sportscasting stories: how my budding career as a plucky pucky play-by-play guy was thwarted when the team we were broadcasting "forgot to rent the rink" - and how I avenged myself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Jersey's governor-elect Mikie Sherrill and James Blair, the political director for the Trump 2024 Campaign and the RNC, break down the lessons learned from this week's Democratic sweep  Election Night 2025 was a sweet one for Democrats nationwide. Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race. Former congresswoman Abigail Spanberger clinched the Virginia gubernatorial contest. California Governor Gavin Newsom's Prop 50 initiative passed, paving the way for redistricting reform across the country. And, by a double-digit margin, Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) is now the Governor-elect of New Jersey. The Navy helicopter pilot-turned federal prosecutor defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli with a campaign focused on standard issues like capping energy costs and cutting administrative bloat. In this week's episode of The Conversation, Governor-elect Sherrill chats with POLITICO's Dasha Burns about her campaign strategy, navigating New Jersey's electoral landscape, and the need for Democrats to reclaim their reputation with working-class Americans. Plus, James Blair, political director for President Trump's 2024 campaign and the RNC, sits down with Dasha to break down what Tuesday night's Democratic sweep means for the GOP's battle plans going into the 2026 midterms.

What happened? 3:10pm- Government Shutdown's Impact: Did the Trump administration's decision to halt federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel project between New Jersey and New York help Mikie Sherrill win? 3:15pm- Despite winning her race to become the next governor of New Jersey less than 48-hours ago, is Mikie Sherrill already planning for a White House run in 2028? 3:30pm- Listeners call in and react to Tuesday's election results. 3:40pm- Rich notes that the American education system no longer teaches the history of communism—and the disastrous consequences for societies that embrace it. Accordingly, young Americans are becoming more and more sympathetic to the ideology.

Why are young Americans increasingly sympathetic to communist political ideology? PLUS, NYU professor Scott Galloway addresses the male loneliness crises in his new book—but what's the driving cause? Dr. Reilly and Rich joke that the modern internet is encouraging young adults to deemphasize in-person relationships…and instead emphasize relationships with toasters!? 4:45pm- Should we all be nice to artificial intelligence? And after a series of depressing topics, maybe we should all just look at photos of curly haired chickens… 5:00pm- Rich continues to take calls—and listeners continue to react to Tuesday's election results. 5:15pm- In a video posted to social media, Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek reelection in 2026—meaning that next year will be her last as a member of Congress. The former Speaker of the House has served in the House of Representatives since 1987. Despite members of Congress earning $174,000 annually, Pelosi—according to most estimates—has amassed a net worth of over $200 million. 5:30pm- Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case that will determine the legality of President Donald Trump's unilateral adoption of global tariffs. The court seems skeptical of the Trump administration's argument—with Justice Neil Gorsuch asking U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer if, hypothetically, a president could impose a 50% tariff on gas powered vehicles to address the threat of climate change? 5:45pm- Would you buy a humanoid robot to help around the house with chores like folding laundry and loading the dishwasher? 1x Technologies has introduced a personal robot named Neo—measuring 5'6”, weighing 66 pounds, and capable of lifting up to 55 pounds! 6:05pm- Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that Tuesday's election results were a “disaster” for Republicans. 6:30pm- While speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, President Donald Trump unveiled a new nickname for California Governor Gavin Newsom: “Slimy Newscum!” 6:45pm- Rich goes back to the phones to close out the show.

Presented by Julie Busteed I've been looking at what it takes to build healthy relationships. And I've saved the best for last: forgiveness. This verse in Matthew always catches me short. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins (Matthew 6:14-15). I need to take to heart this command! Relationships are living, growing things because they involve people who are growing and changing. And because you are human, there will be times when words are spoken or actions are taken that hurt someone in the relationship. You and I need to forgive others and also ask for forgiveness—things that are not easy to do, except through the power of the Holy Spirit. But wait—there's more! Jesus said we should love our enemies. I look at Jesus' example of laying down his life for you and me. When he was on the cross, suffering, he forgave those who crucified him. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34). That's the ultimate in forgiving your enemies. It really seems quite impossible, doesn't it? Jesus was fully God and fully man. But I don't think that excuses you or me to forgive even our enemies. Corrie Ten Boom and her family helped many Jewish people escape the Nazi's in WW2. As a result, she was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp. She survived and wrote books and spoke about her experience. Corrie recounts the following as she was speaking about forgiveness at a church in Munich in 1947: Afterward, I saw him—a man moving toward me through the crowd. I recognized him instantly: a former guard from Ravensbrück, the concentration camp where my sister Betsie and I had been imprisoned for hiding Jews. He approached me, now dressed in civilian clothes, and said, “A fine message, Fräulein. How good it is to know that all our sins are at the bottom of the sea.” Then he extended his hand. “I was a guard at Ravensbrück. I've become a Christian, and I know God has forgiven me, but I would like to hear it from you. Will you forgive me?” I stood frozen, remembering Betsie's suffering and death. Forgive him? I could not. Yet I knew Jesus' words: “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive yours.” Forgiveness is not a feeling—it's an act of the will. So, I prayed silently, “Jesus, help me. I can lift my hand; You supply the feeling.” Mechanically, I reached out—and as I did, a current seemed to pass from my shoulder to our joined hands. A warmth filled my heart. “I forgive you, brother,” I said, “with all my heart.” In that moment, I felt God's love more deeply than ever before.[1] May you and I be obedient and lift our hands and trust God to fill us with his love. --- [1] Corrie Ten Boom, Sherrill, E., & Sherrill, J. L. (2008). The hiding place. Chosen Books.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 31: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Do you want to hear the real lesson of this week’s Democratic landslide? Mamdani ran on your money issues and that Trump equals death. Sherrill ran on your money issues and that Trump equals death. Spanberger ran on your money issues and that Trump equals death. Prop 50 won on your money issues and that Trump equals death. Hey, you can do both at the same time! Who knew? Not difficult. Easy to remember. Useful on all occasions. Worked in New York, where they elected a socialist when only a quarter of the voters say they are socialists. Worked in Virginia, where they elected as governor an ex-congresswoman born in Jersey. Worked in Jersey, where they elected as a governor an ex-congresswoman born in Virginia. Money Issues, and Trump Equals Death. Useful on all occasions. It’s a floor wax AND a dessert topping. Of course the context is just as much fun as the lesson. That's becauseTrump not only doesn’t realize he got the S kicked out of him, but he doesn’t realize he’s already forced himself to both end the government shutdown and lose the government shutdown. “Trump wasn’t on the ballot,” Trump screamed. “And ‘Shutdown’… were the two reasons that Republicans lost elections...” Ah, poor Trump. Metaphorically, Trump not only was on the ballot - every ballot but he was on the ballot in the worst possible way. Everybody could vote no on him, but it was almost impossible to vote YES. The lame duck politician’s worst nightmare. And right now no duck is lamer than Trump. Democrats: run on your money issues and that Trump equals death. It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping! ALSO: No, I am not going to sanewash Dick Cheney, even after his passing. Yes, at the end, when it was loyalty to the country or Trump he chose the country and it's good to finish strong. But I will still remember him for that 9/11-Iraq exploitation thing. And I am still proud that - as you'll hear - I pissed him off enough as Vice President for him to publicly clap back. B-Block (30:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Roger Stone, who helped advance the deplorable Laura Loomer, is now shocked she's deplorable. Similarly Ben Shapiro, who helped sell Tucker Carlson's evil to the far right, is now shocked he's evil. And I-Never-Winsome Earle-Sears and scabby Fox host Charlie Hurt think Barack Obama not voting for her when he voted for Kamala Harris is hypocritical (so...Earle-Sears voted for Kamala, and Hurt voted for Spanberger?) C-Block (40:30) SPORTSBALLCENTER: You probably aren't interested in my thoughts on the latest new selection committee and the latest eight nominees for baseball's Hall of Fame (though I have many of them). But you may be entertained by the sagas of the previous selection committees and the legend of how the ex-players on them used to cast "courtesy votes" for their old buddies and one year Ted Williams and the others screwed up and accidentally cast way too many of them for a not-so-Hall-of-Famish catcher named Rick Ferrell and he actually got elected.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With 95% of the vote reported, Sherrill leads by 13%—56.2 to 43.2%. Prior to election day, most pollsters—including Trafalgar—published data showing the race would be significantly closer. What happened? Is NJ, simply put, just a blue state? Did President Donald Trump's absence from the ticket depress Republican turnout? 3:30pm-Listeners call into the show and voice their frustrations with last night's results. One caller notes that Democrats managed to get 60% of their voters to the polls—but Republicans managed a mere 54%. Is New Jersey now east coast California, as one listener suggests? 3:40pm- Rich continues to take calls—with a listener explaining that she knew NJ was progressive, but she had no idea the state was THIS deep blue. Others said they are still “stunned” by the results. Plus, people are disappointed that Larry Krasner won another term as district attorney of Philadelphia. What were voters thinking?

Others said they are still “stunned” by the results. Plus, people are disappointed that Larry Krasner won another term as district attorney of Philadelphia. What were voters thinking? 4:05pm- Rich keeps the phone lines open. Was candidate quality an issue? Unlikely. Jack Ciattarelli won all 21 counties across the state of New Jersey during the Republican primary. Why did 30% of Republican voters who cast their ballots for Trump in 2024 not show up? 4:10pm- Did the Trump administration's decision to halt federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel project between New Jersey and New York help Mikie Sherrill? Should President Trump have held an in-person rally for Ciattarelli in NJ? Rich notes, if we don't fix the problem now—we're in major trouble heading into the 2026 midterm elections. 4:25pm- A listener points out that young female voters overwhelmingly voted for Mikie Sherrill. Can Republicans reverse this trend? 4:30pm- First, the GOP had to deal with the “Never Trumpers”—but now the Republican Party's biggest problem appears to be the “Only Trumpers,” voters who will only show up to vote if President Donald Trump himself is on the ballot. 5:05pm- On Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders hilariously hijacked a press conference held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. One listener says Sanders has been “emboldened” by socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City. 5:30pm- Are all Trump voters also Republican voters? One caller suggests that Trump voters are not emotionally invested in the rest of the party—and we shouldn't ever expect them to show up for an election where President Trump's name isn't on the ballot. 5:45pm- Was yesterday the worst polling disaster since 2016? 5:50pm- Following Zohran Mamdani's election win, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said the “Democratic Party cannot last much longer by denying the future” of democratic-socialism. 6:05pm- Rich celebrates his 11th year on 1210 WPHT! 6:10pm- Linda Kerns—Attorney & Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day. Plus, she attempts to cheer up Rich! 6:15pm- In her victory speech, New Jersey governor-elect Mikie Sherrill baselessly accused President Trump of “running a worldwide extortion racket.” 6:30pm- Matt Rooney—Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day in NJ. Will the Garden State ever become a truly “purple” state? Despite the blowout loss, perhaps there is still reason for optimism long-term.

Good day and welcome to Day 36 of the government shutdown. The FAA said it would cut scheduled air traffic by 10%. Tuesday's landslide election! The historic victories in New York, Virginia, New Jersey, California, Georgia, and Mississippi. Democracy is still very much alive. Sherrill far outperformed the polls. Misogyny and women candidates. Donald's economy is a jenga tower. Donald and the AI bubble. Shocker: Donald lied about the reduced cost of Walmart Thanksgiving meals. Donald's government might have to return all the tariff money it's collected. Tiny Trump's most epic short circuit ever. Hero of Democracy: Nancy Pelosi.

En las elecciones celebradas este martes en Nueva Jersey, Virginia y la ciudad de Nueva York, los demócratas se han apuntado tres victorias importantes. En Nueva Jersey y Virginia se elegía al gobernador, mientras que en Nueva York se renovaba al alcalde. Las encuestas anticipaban un buen resultado demócrata y así fue, especialmente en Nueva York, la mayor ciudad de EEUU en la que ganó Zohran Mamdani, un candidato del ala socialista del partido que ha dado mucho que hablar en los últimos meses. Además, en California, los demócratas también ganaron un referéndum sobre la Proposición 50 para modificar el mapa de circunscripciones electorales. En Nueva Jersey Mikie Sherrill, demócrata moderada y congresista desde 2019, ganó con un margen de 13 puntos al republicano Jack Ciattarelli. En Virginia Abigail Spanberger, también congresista y exagente de la CIA, se impuso con 15 puntos de ventaja frente a la republicana Winsome Earl-Sears. Ambos estados, de tradición demócrata, no supusieron sorpresa alguna. Sherrill sucedió a un gobernador demócrata muy impopular, mientras que Virginia cambió de manos tras cuatro años con un gobernador republicano. Las victorias de Sherrill y Spanberger, ambas con trayectorias políticas muy convencionales, superaron ampliamente la ventaja de Kamala Harris en las presidenciales de 2024 en sus respectivos Estados.. En Nueva York la elección de Zohran Mamdani, un demócrata socialista de 34 años, fue la noticia de la jornada. Con un participación muy elevada, Mamdani ganó con el 51% de los votos frente al exgobernador Andrew Cuomo, que obtuvo el 41% y al republicano Curtis Sliwa, que se quedó en un 7%. Su campaña, centrada en el alto coste de vida, prometía subidas de impuestos a los ricos, congelar alquileres y servicios municipales gratuitos como el transporte y las guarderías. Pero cumplir estas promesas no será fácil ya que la gobernadora Kathy Hochul no parece dispuesta a elevar la carga fiscal. Además, su victoria complica la relación de la ciudad con el gobierno federal, ya que Donald Trump había advertido que reducirá al mínimo la entrega de fondos federales a Nueva York si Mamdani ganaba. El vencedor es hijo de inmigrantes y tiene un historial político muy breve, pero supo capitalizar el descontento con el actual alcalde, Eric Adams, y la división del voto en el centro del espectro. Su campaña se centró en las redes sociales y en la calle, y giró en torno a temas como el de la vivienda, lo que le ha atraído muchos votantes jóvenes e inmigrantes. Su falta de experiencia y posturas radicales, como su apoyo a Palestina, le granjearon muchas críticas, por eso en la recta final de la campaña se esforzó en moderar su mensaje para no ponerse en contra a los pequeños empresarios y a la influyente comunidad judía. Estas victorias demócratas no garantizan ni mucho menos el éxito en las elecciones de medio mandato 2026, ya que Nueva Jersey, Virginia y Nueva York son desde siempre bastiones demócratas. Si Mamdani adopta políticas especialmente radicales podría incluso beneficiar a los republicanos.

After the Federal Aviation Administration announced it'll reduce all air traffic across 40 major markets beginning Friday.   Plus, as Mikie Sherrill makes history as the first Democratic female Governor of the state, we'll talk with former Governor Christine Todd Whitman about her tenure and the road ahead for Sherrill.   Also, why millions of people are facing a spike in health care costs, we'll tell you what's behind the sticker shock.   And, we bring you the inspiring story of a 80 year old New Jersey grandmother competing in one of the world's toughest challenges and proving age is just a number.  

Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist and Muslim, wins the NYC mayoral race over former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Democrat Mikie Sherill easily defeats Republican Jack Ciattarelli despite late-stage polling that showed a tightening race. Abigail Spanberger becomes the first female governor of Virginia, as Democrats hold the governorship and both chambers of the state legislature, while Democrat Jay Jones wins the Attorney General race despite backlash over his disturbing leaked text messages from 2022. Walmart: Learn how Walmart is fueling the future of U.S. manufacturing at https://Walmart.com/America-at-work Landman on Paramount+: Don't miss the hit series everyone is talking about - Landman.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Democrats' bigger-than-expected wins in Virginia and New Jersey, Zohran Mamdani coasting to victory in New York City, and several ballot initiatives that mostly went the wrong way.First, they dig into Virginia, where Democrat Abigail defeated Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears by nearly 15 points, outperforming every major poll. That landslide also helped rage texter Jay Jones win the attorney general's race by six points, while Democrats picked up 13 seats in the state legislature. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points. The wins were not shocking, but the margins were, and Scot and Greg break down what those results mean heading into 2026.Next, they come to grips with Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race by taking comfort that Andrew Cuomo won't be mayor. They also highlight some very ominous indications of what's to come from Mamdani's victory speech. Dems will undoubtedly try to mimic his smiley socialism in some parts of the country next year. Are Republicans ready to fight it?Finally, they analyze key ballot measures across the country, including strong conservative victories in Texas protecting parental rights and requiring proof of citizenship to vote. But not all results went the right way, as Gavin Newsom's gerrymander gimmick passed easily in California, and Colorado voters approved a tax hike on the wealthy to fund free school meals.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Election day a tinte dem quello di ieri negli Stati Uniti: Mamdani è il nuovo Sindaco di New York (primo musulmano), Sherrill e Spanberger nuove Governatrici di New Jersey e Virginia. Con noi Mattia Diletti, professore di public policy alla Sapienza, esperto di politica americana, autore di "Divisi. Politica, società e conflitti nell'America del XXI secolo" (Treccani Libri). Settimana dell'economia circolare e della raccolta differenziata in occasione di Ecomondo: Genova aderisce al Piano straordinario nazionale per la raccolta differenziata degli imballaggi. Sentiamo Fabio Costarella, vicedirettore generale CONAI. L'accoltellamento in Piazza Gae Aulenti riporta a galla il dibattito sulle misure di prevenzione per i soggetti con patologie psichiatriche, e quindi sulle REMS (Residenze per l'Esecuzione delle Misure di Sicurezza) . Ne parliamo con Alessia Cicolini, Direttrice delle REMS di Castiglione delle Stiviere in provincia di Mantova.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/03/2025): 3:05pm- Polling data suggests that enthusiasm for Jack Ciattarelli's campaign to be the next governor of New Jersey is at a whopping 91%! Is there similar enthusiasm for Mikie Sherrill? It doesn't seem like it. Over the weekend, former President Barack Obama attended a campaign rally for Sherrill drawing only 3,000 people. Rich notes that a comparable number of Ciattarelli supporters gathered at the Wildwood boardwalk last month—even though there wasn't a former president boosting turnout. 3:30pm- KC Crosbie—Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Election Day in New Jersey. Crosbie believes that if Republican voters get out and vote, Jack Ciattarelli will be the next governor of NJ. 3:40pm- During a discussion with progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, Bill Maher said of Zohran Mamdani's likely mayoral win: "He definitely has the power and influence to elect JD Vance, or whoever is the Republican candidate next time. It is a walking commercial for the Republican Party, nationally." 3:50pm- New York Governor Kathy Hochul suggested that Zohran Mamdani cannot fund his agenda because she won't agree to massive tax increases. 4:00pm- Congressman Dan Meuser—Representative for Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to President Donald Trump's big endorsement on Truth Social. Trump wrote: “Congressman Dan Meuser is an America First Patriot who is doing an incredible job representing Pennsylvania's 9th Congressional District! A very successful Businessman, former Secretary of Revenue of Pennsylvania, and now, as U.S. Congressman, Dan has strongly served his Community with a career “loaded up” with accolades and wins. In Congress, he is working hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Dan Meuser has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Congressman Meuser also discusses his experience working alongside Mikie Sherill in the House of Representatives—she's no moderate: “I don't really associate with her that much because—what's the point? It's the extremism of the left.” 4:30pm- While appearing on CNN, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked if Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party? Jeffries said no—and then quickly changed the subject. 5:05pm- State Senator Mike Testa—Republican Whip & Representing District 1 (Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties) in the New Jersey State Senate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Election Day in NJ. 5:30pm- Kamala Harris's book tour is still unfolding—and it's not going particularly well. She's constantly criticizing Joe Biden, accusing him of making the 2024 election all about himself, and cursing up a storm! Is she attempting to be authentic and likable? It seems to be failing. 6:00pm- California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to defend Joe Biden's performance as president, George Clooney defends his outsized role in replacing Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, and former CIA Director John Brennan loses his mind after being confronted about his inaccurate claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was merely Russian disinformation. 6:15pm- Tonight, President Donald Trump is holding a “tele-rally” for Jack Ciattarelli. 6:30pm Penn State Basketball!

Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 515) November 2nd, 2025 Subscribe to Kim's "FREELANCE BUSTING" Substack https://freelancebusting.com Kim's Substack Article discussed during live below: Editor's note: On October 14, I emailed the campaigns of Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill to request Q&A interviews with each candidate for governor in my home state of New Jersey. Sherrill's team did not respond. The first time I ever spoke with Jack Ciattarelli was about five years ago on a video call. There were quick introductions, and then I started to give him an advocacy pitch about independent-contractor policy. These kinds of conversations with politicians typically involve about 10 minutes of me explaining that most independent contractors are not Uber drivers. I talk about how we like being our own bosses as freelance writers, owner-operator truckers, graphic artists, real-estate agents, finance and insurance experts, translators and interpreters, attorneys and a whole lot more. Much to my surprise, Ciattarelli already understood the policy issue. He started explaining why independent contractors need protection here in New Jersey. I was speechless. It was a first. Nowadays, when I show up at any kind of Ciattarelli event, he sees me, smiles, comes over to say hello and quite enthusiastically says, “Independent contractors!” If he's giving a speech, he points me out in the crowd and talks about the policy issue so everyone in the room understands that our ability to earn a living must be protected. He champions those of us who are speaking out on behalf of New Jersey's estimated 1.7 million independent contractors. As you can see in these most recent photos of the two of us from his Morris County campaign stop at the Chester Diner, he's a guy who leans in. Genuinely. Independent contractors are most worried right now about the proposed rulemaking at New Jersey's Department of Labor & Workforce Development. I had several questions for Ciattarelli about that, as well as questions about other things too. Here's my Q&A about independent-contractor policy with Jack Ciattarelli. Q&A with Jack Ciattarelli Would you please share your personal background of working with independent contractors, so people can hear what I heard from you on that video call all those years ago? Kim, it's great to have these discussions with you. And yes, I remember that conversation and I've since shared my personal experience with independent contractors, most recently during an appearance on Univision. A gentleman asked me if I have any policies that are good for truck drivers specifically. I asked him if he meant independent truckers in particular, and he said yes. So I shared with him my perspective as someone who comes from a family of business owners, and that's one of many ways you can achieve your version of the American dream. There has to be a balance that allows a person to be a W-2 employee or a 1099 independent contractor, whatever they want. I told this gentleman, as I previously told you, that my publishing business would never survive if the proposed regulation in Trenton were in effect. My business relied on hiring many medical editors who worked as independent contractors, self-employed people who can work the way they chose to work. If I had to hire them directly as employees, my business would fail and there would be 20 other jobs never created. I'm for letting people follow their American dream, and if they choose the path of being independent contractors, we're going to make sure that path is there for them. New Jersey's Legislature, about a half dozen years ago, rejected legislation based on a California law called Assembly Bill 5 that involved the classification of independent contractors and employees. Do you believe the New Jersey Legislature made the right or wrong call when it let that California-inspired bill die? And why? As I recall, the Legislature listened to the reaction of lots of independent contractors who just wanted to be allowed to continue working the way they want. They wanted to be their own boss, not an employee of someone else. There's nothing wrong with being an employee, if that's what you want and that's what's best for you. But there's also nothing wrong with choosing to be your own boss. It should be your decision, not the government's. For many of those folks, that bill would have destroyed their entire business model and their livelihood, and also would have hurt countless industries in our economy. Again, I look back on my own experience and know that the bill would have killed jobs and ended the American dream for many New Jerseyans. So yes, the Legislature made the right decision then. And I can't say that about a lot of the decisions the Legislature has made recently. Right now, New Jersey's Labor Department has proposed regulatory rulemaking that attorneys say “almost entirely eviscerates” any chance of establishing independent-contractor status, and is “an existential threat to flexible, independent work.” This proposed rulemaking drew a deluge of about 9,500 public comments, in a process that the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce told me is usually lucky to get even 100 comments. And those estimated 9,500 comments are 99% opposed. Even despite all this public pushback, Governor Murphy has so far refused to rescind the Labor Department proposal. Do you believe that whoever is governor has an obligation to respect the will of the people when it's made so clear in a public comment process? There's a reason why state law mandates a public comment period when regulations are proposed. If you have the power to hand down a rule requiring New Jersey residents to do or not to do something, you have to first listen to what people who would be affected have to say about it. You learn by listening. From the time I decided to enter public service, I've learned more from listening to people than I ever could have learned any other way. You get a sense of what drives people and what their concerns are that you just can't get without listening to them. So yes, the governor and the Department of Labor need to listen and learn. Now, I wouldn't say that it's simply a mathematical issue—that you go with 51% of commenters instead of 49% of them—but when you get to that many comments and 99% of them are saying the same thing, you have to learn from that and seriously question what you're trying to do. You have said that if you are elected governor, you will reverse this Labor Department rulemaking about independent contractors. How quickly would you take that action after you are sworn into office? That's a question that really depends on what my legal team tells me. I understand the process for repealing a rule—if that rule is in place when I become governor—is pretty much the same as it is for adopting the rule in the first place. There's a notice requirement, and then time for public comment. I know there's an expedited process available, but that's also a question for the lawyers. My best answer is, as soon as possible. No matter who wins the gubernatorial election in November, we are going to have a lame-duck session in the New Jersey Legislature between Election Day and the swearing-in of the new governor. It is possible that Governor Murphy could finalize the proposed Labor Department rule during that time period. Republican Senator Declan O'Scanlon, along with Republican Assembly members Gerry Scharfenberger and Vicky Flynn, have announced their plan to introduce legislation that would declare the rule “inconsistent with legislative intent, if the Department doesn't respond to the public outcry and rescind or satisfactorily modify their proposed rule changes.” Assemblywoman Flynn posted on social media that she plans to gather bipartisan support to pass this legislation, which would basically be a legislative override of the rulemaking. Do you support this plan in the Legislature? And if so, how would you help these legislators get it done? You and I have talked about the bipartisan opposition to this rule change, and I've seen letters from Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature submitted as part of the public comment process. I would certainly support a legislative effort to override the rule if it's adopted, but to be honest, I'm not sure there are enough members of the current majority party who would be willing to cast the right vote. But as someone who's been endorsed by many Democrats to be the next governor, I'm all for a bipartisan effort to override the rule, and I would use my position as governor-elect—which I will be on November 4th—to make it clear this rule will not stand, and if the Legislature fails to act, I will. One of the public comments filed in opposition to the Labor Department's proposal is from economist Liya Palagashvili at the Mercatus Center, who regularly testifies before Congress about this policy area. She did an analysis showing that the way the State of New Jersey is currently using the ABC Test to determine independent-contractor status has already led to harmful effects compared to states that do things differently. In New Jersey, she found a comparable 3.81% decrease in W-2 employment, a 10.08% decrease in self-employment and a 3.95% decrease in overall employment. At the same time, based on the disastrous outcome with the ABC Test law in California, Republicans in Congress have been moving to pass federal legislation based on regulatory language that's different from the ABC Test. If you are elected governor, would you consider discussing options for New Jersey to use different regulatory language than the ABC Test to determine independent-contractor status? Of course. You know me, Kim. I'm always willing to listen and consider new ideas. But I've been focused on New Jersey and the laws and policies I would have to handle as governor, so of course I can't really make any decisions on the federal bill until I know more about it. I'm sure you'll tell me more at another time. You've got me intrigued. Many, many times, I have heard the people who support freelance busting claim that if our government protects our freedom to be independent contractors, then we are being anti-union. I don't believe that's true. I grew up in a union household, and my parents had side hustles when I was a kid. I know that both kinds of work can coexist, and I think everybody should be able to work in whatever way works best for us. I saw that you have received some union endorsements while also expressing your support for independent contractors. Do you see this policy area as favoring one or the other way of working, or supporting both ways of working, or something else? You're right, of course, I do have union support and I value it. Your experience growing up in a union household, having parents in unions who also earned money in other ways, is just more proof that there doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing approach on this. Look, this whole issue has been tied to misclassification, as you know. And misclassification is wrong, and there are laws on the books saying so and saying how the government should go about fighting it. I just don't see a need for conflict here. We can fight misclassification and let people work as independent contractors at the same time. That's what we've been doing, and when I'm governor, we will keep doing it. Independent contractors have also been under threat at the federal level, with legislation called the PRO Act that would inject California's type of freelance-busting regulatory language into federal law. I've testified three times before Congress about this threat, most recently in July before the U.S. Senate. I've heard you talk on the campaign trail about how you plan to try and get New Jersey's U.S. representatives and senators on the same page about issues that affect our state's citizens. If you are elected governor, would you include discussing independent-contractor policy with them, to help us with this policy area in Washington, too? That's right, I've talked about meeting regularly with our elected officials in Washington, both sides of the aisle, to see how we can combine efforts to get what our constituents deserve from their federal government. My opponent doesn't seem to like that idea, but I will gladly work with her and the rest of the delegation when I'm governor because that's what advocates for our state should do. And yes, coming back to your question, that will include policy toward independent contractors and anything else that's on the minds of New Jersey residents. I know that the IC issue is very much on the minds of those who want to keep working that way. I'll be their advocate, and I'll be an advocate for union workers as well because, just as I said earlier, I don't see a conflict between the two. What else would you like independent contractors in New Jersey to know as we all head to the voting booth on Election Day? Just what you can hear me say on TV, Kim. I'm a Jersey guy, born and raised, with family going back a hundred years in our state. I'm not in this as a stepping stone to anything else. I don't want to be a senator or a presidential candidate. This is my last stop. I want to help fix what's wrong with the state I love, and make it a better and easier place to live, work, raise a family and retire. That's my only goal. And I know I can do that, or else I would just go back to LBI and find something else to do. If your readers want a governor who loves this state and will get up every morning and work to make it better—just like I get up every day now and work hard to earn the job—then I'd love to have their support. Thanks for your time today, Kim.

Student journalist and first-time documentary filmmaker Matthew Winkler joins us to discuss his work on a film chronicling the life and career of Joya Sherrill, an unsung American jazz vocalist who wrote the lyrics to the Billy Strayhorn standard, "Take the A Train," made famous by the Duke Ellington orchestra. Matthew came across Sherrill's name during his freshman year at Tufts University, while doing research for Boston Globe journalist and noted biographer Larry Tye, who was writing a book about jazz. Matthew, a music and history major, was astonished to discover the small footprint Sherrill had left behind, despite being the first female jazz singer to visit the Soviet Union, accompanying bandleader Benny Goodman, and earning the distinction of being one of Duke Ellington's favorite singers. "Public-facing history is very important to me," Matthew told a reporter for Tufts Now, the university's alumni magazine, in an article detailing how the Tufts undergraduate grew a student research project into a feature-length documentary, with the help of his professors and mentors. "I hope this film will make people know who Joya Sherrill is and why we should care about her. On a broader level, I think a documentary like this will make people realize how easy it is for remarkable figures to fall through the cracks of history." With this conversation, it is hoped, he might also signal to aspiring storytellers how easy it is to keep their eyes and ears open for stories that might move us, inspire us, and enlighten us.

On today's podcast:1) Zohran Mamdani’s lead heading into the New York City mayoral election has withstood a furious push from Republicans, establishment Democrats and a coalition of Wall Street dealmakers. Aspects of Mamdani’s campaign that some thought would doom his candidacy — his vociferous criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza, his past calls to defund the police and his refusal to flee from the political label of socialist — haven’t turned off a plurality of New York voters, despite a torrent of campaign spending from some of the city’s wealthiest residents. Instead, the 34-year-old assemblyman’s campaign — with its focus on core economic concerns combined with an online charm offensive and occasional searing barb at his critics — is working well enough that some political observers see a model for future Democratic candidates and races. Nationally, Tuesday’s results could provide a muddled message for Democrats. 2) Governors’ races in Virginia and New Jersey and California’s redistricting ballot measure are among the elections on ballots Tuesday, providing a barometer of voter sentiment ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. While Mamdani’s progressive campaign has given him a lead in New York, the candidates leading the polls in governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia — Representative Mikie Sherrill and former Representative Abigail Spanberger, respectively — come from the more centrist range of the Democratic spectrum. The race in New Jersey has tightened in the past few weeks between Democratic Representative Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli, as voters express dismay over high electricity bills and general affordability issues under the state’s current Democratic governor. Republicans would love to eke out a victory there — even as polls narrowly favor Sherrill — after President Donald Trump endorsed Ciattarelli and called him “100% (PLUS!)” on the MAGA agenda.In Virginia, Democratic Representative Abigail Spanberger looks likely to prevail over the Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears. The huge number of federal workers in Northern Virginia, frustrated by the government shutdown and the DOGE cuts, gave Spanberger a built-in constituency. And she’s made sure to talk about issues key to local voters — inflation, schools, health care — rather than solely going with an anti-Trump message. If Democrats lose one of these races, expect even more hand-wringing over the party’s tarnished national brand and its inability to capitalize on Trump’s unpopularity.3) As the government shutdown enters its 34th day, lawmakers face mounting pressure to reach a resolution. Major US airports are facing staffing shortages leading to ground delays, the distribution of food assistance is up in the air, and more federal workers are missing paychecks as the shutdown is on track to become the longest in history. Senators are increasingly optimistic about finding a path to reopen the government, but any resolution will likely have to wait until after tomorrow’s off-year elections, which could sway either side to move depending on the results.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect a brutal ad to close out the New Jersey governor's race, college students strongly preferring socialism to capitalism, and more drama from South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace as she runs for governor.First, they dissect Republican Jack Ciattarelli's brutal closing ad in the New Jersey governor's race, which spotlights Democrat Mikie Sherrill struggling to name a single legislative priority. Ciattarelli came much closer than expected in 2021. Can he pull off the win tomorrow?Next, they react to a disturbing new poll showing that 67 percent of college students have a positive or neutral view of socialism, while only 40 percent feel the same about capitalism. Jim offers an explanation as to why so many young lefties blame the system for their frustrations. It must be the system because it can't be a consequence of their own choices, right?Finally, they groan as Nancy Mace stirs up more controversy by allegedly berating two airport police officers for not meeting her at the curb to escort her to her gate. Mace is great at attracting attention. But as she runs for governor, are South Carolina voters really going to vote for all of her personal drama to be on regular display in the highest office in the state?Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

We're just about a week out from Election Day, and I have to say, this is what I live for. These are the kind of stories that really scratch the itch for anybody who loves the game of politics as much as I do. We've got real contests, real dollars behind them, and actual electoral stakes. Yes, I know it's not a presidential year, but this is the sandbox where some serious groundwork gets laid. And for as much as I hate the off-off-year calendar, I love election season more than anything. Here's my breakdown of where I think the chips are going to fall in November.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Starting in California, we've got Prop 50. Gavin Newsom has staked a big chunk of political capital on this one. It's pitched as a pushback on Republican redistricting, with the messaging ultimately landing on “protecting America from Trump.” What started off messy got refined quickly, and with Newsom's team sticking the landing, I see a 10 to 15 point win. McCarthy was supposed to pour in $100 million to fight it, but as of now, the actual spending is suspiciously light. All that adds up to a clear Democratic win.Now onto Virginia: Winsome Earl Sears vs. Abigail Spanberger. I'm heading up to D.C. this weekend, and originally thought I'd be bouncing around Virginia to catch campaign stops. But Sears? She's nowhere to be found. Spanberger, while not the most electrifying candidate, has managed to avoid major blunders post-Jay Jones scandal. The polling tells a consistent story; Spanberger holding a lead that's grown since the scandal broke. I'm calling it Spanberger by eight. Could be tighter, but it's hard to see Sears overcoming the fundamentals working against her.As for Jay Jones, man, what a collapse. DUI, community service for his own super PAC, and leaked texts about shooting a rival politician? That's how you lose an election. Miyares hasn't trailed since that story broke. Nate Silver might be holding out hope, pointing to early voting and ticket-splitting, but my money's on Miyares by one. A close one, but still a loss for Jones. This scandal made a difference, period.New Yorkers better get ready for Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He hasn't been behind at all in public polling, all while Cuomo is clawing for relevance. Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa isn't pulling enough Republican support to matter to anyone but Cuomo. The energy just isn't there for a last-minute surprise. Mamdani by 13.And then there's New Jersey. The Mikie Sherrill vs. Jack Ciattarelli race is the sleeper of the night. Sherrill has led for most of the race, but recent polling has things tightening. Trafalgar and Coefficient both show her up by one. Republicans are feeling bullish, and if this ends within three points, they'll have reason to. That would mean New Jersey, at minimum, becomes a fringe battleground in 2028. Not quite Arizona-level swing, but enough to force Democrats to spend real money defending it. I'm predicting Sherrill wins — but just barely.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:32 - Election Predictions00:23:08 - Update00:24:53 - Trade Deals00:30:58 - Shutdown00:38:10 - Israel00:44:36 - Interview with Austin Padgett01:38:03 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Robert Peters—Senior Research Fellow for Strategic Deterrence in Heritage's Allison Center for National Security—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a new Netflix film, “House of Dynamite,” which Bloomberg reports is causing the Pentagon to “fret.” In the film, a nuclear missile is launched at the United States, but is the Pentagon unable to repel the attack with interceptors? Peters explains what the movie gets wrong. 4:40pm- NBC10 reporter Lauren Mayk confronted Mikie Sherrill over her outlandish claim that Jack Ciattarelli is responsible for the deaths of “tens of thousands of people”—citing his tangential involvement in marketing for pharmaceutical companies. While appearing on Fox News, Ciattarelli revealed that his campaign intends to sue Sherrill over the baseless allegations. Rich notes that Sherrill's line of attack is so abnormal and crazy that most voters will just dismiss it.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/28/2025): 3:05pm- Moderation within the Democratic Party is vanishing—it's now a party that mirrors the ideology of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders. 3:30pm- Early voting in New Jersey began on Saturday, October 25th. According to reports, “unaffiliated” voter turnout is already up—and most polling seems to indicate those voters will prefer Jack Ciattarelli over Mikie Sherrill. 3:40pm- While delivering remarks during a visit to Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan, President Donald Trump announced Toyota will invest $10 billion in automotive manufacturing plants across America—telling the crowd: “go out and buy a Toyota!” 4:05pm- Robert Peters—Senior Research Fellow for Strategic Deterrence in Heritage's Allison Center for National Security—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a new Netflix film, “House of Dynamite,” which Bloomberg reports is causing the Pentagon to “fret.” In the film, a nuclear missile is launched at the United States, but is the Pentagon unable to repel the attack with interceptors?

Rich notes that Sherrill's line of attack is so abnormal and crazy that most voters will just dismiss it. 5:00pm- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comey is demanding the Department of Justice investigate former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen—suggesting the administration covered up Biden's cognitive decline and, consequently, his autopen actions should be “void.” 5:15pm- CNN polling expert Harry Enten says the numbers don't lie—the Republican Party's approval rating has risen 5-points since the government shutdown began. Democrats in the Senate have refused to advance a continuing resolution to fund the government 12 times. 5:20pm- Moderation within the Democratic Party is vanishing—it's now a party that mirrors the ideology of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders. 5:40pm- After claiming his aunt was unable to wear her hijab on the subway following 9/11, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was forced to amend his story. 6:00pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bill Gates' latest op-ed where he reversed his long-standing claim that climate change is a threat to humanity. Turner explains, “Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze he helped ignite. There's no new science, no new revelation—only a billionaire trying to rewrite his role in the destruction he financed. Gates knows his green crusade has crushed working families with unaffordable energy costs, but now that the political winds have shifted, he wants to act like the voice of reason. The American people won't forget who helped light the fire in the first place.” 6:30pm- During a Senate hearing on political violence, conservative commentator Michael Knowles called out Sen. Cory Booker for his continued support of Jay Jones—a Virginia Attorney General candidate who once called for the death of his political opponent. 6:40pm- MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace claimed that no Democrats have compared Donald Trump to Hitler. Well, here's a two-minute montage—featuring JB Pritzker, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Hillary Clinton, Tim Walz, Beto O'Rourke, Joe Biden, Dan Goldman, AOC, and Nancy Pelosi—disproving Wallace's claim.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- While aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump was asked if he would consider running for Vice President—with his running mate ultimately stepping aside, allowing him to serve a third term. Trump rejected the idea. The reporter's question was a misread of the 12th Amendment which states: “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.” 3:15pm- While speaking at a rally for Zohran Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said “I hear you” as the crowd chanted “tax the rich.” But following the rally, Hochul claimed she heard the crowd screaming “let's go Bills.” What!? New York City doesn't even root for the Bills! 3:40pm- New York City Mayoral Andrew Cuomo told a reporter that Zohran Mamdani is not a Democrat—he's a socialist! 3:50pm- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez told a crowd of Zohran Mamdani supporters and socialists that “we are not the crazy ones…we are sane!” Sure! Whatever you say… 3:55pm- NBC10 reporter Lauren Mayk confronted Mikie Sherrill over her outlandish claim that Jack Ciattarelli is responsible for the deaths of “tens of thousands of people” for being tangentially involved in marketing for pharmaceutical companies. Ciarrarelli's campaign has threatened to sue Sherrill over the baseless allegations.

President Trump has insisted construction will be privately funded, at no expense to the taxpayer. Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) implored future presidents to rename the ballroom after Barack Obama. Meanwhile, a former Congressman said that the next Democrat to hold the presidency should demolish the renovation! 5:30pm- While speaking with a BBC reporter, Kamala Harris said she won't rule out running for president again. Hilariously, the reporter notes that oddsmakers currently think actor/wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a better chance of being president than she does! 5:40pm- While appearing on an NBA podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) complained about his tough childhood—eating nothing by white bread and Kraft macaroni and cheese. But his father was a wealthy attorney for Getty Oil! Is this proof Newsom will say literally anything? 5:50pm- Chicago Mayor Brandon J ...

President Trump demolishes the White House's East Wing to make room for his ostentatious 90,000 square foot ballroom.
