Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Sunday night, eight Senators who caucus with Democrats—Angus King, Tim Kaine, Dick Durbin, John Fetterman, Maggie Hassan, Jeanne Shaheen, and Catherine Cortez Masto—joined Republicans and agreed to advance a bill that would end the government shutdown. The final vote in the Senate is expected to take place on Monday with a vote in the House of Representatives coming later in the week. If passed, the plan would fund most federal agencies through January 30th. Were Democrats simply prolonging the shutdown in hopes that it would help them electorally last Tuesday? 3:20pm- The United States Supreme Court has denied a request to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage in 2015. The court did not comment on its decision to decline the petition. According to The New York Times, at least four justices would have to vote in favor of hearing the case. 3:40pm- Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) was asked why he suddenly decided to join Republicans to end the government shutdown. He responded: "I was so focused on the Virginia elections I wasn't in this discussion on healthcare to see how dug in they were."

BONUS: 'Shocking and heartbreaking:' GOP regroups after election while considering 'nuclear option' to reopen government Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

Trump voters only show up for Trump, that's the conclusion Rich Zeoli comes to after a Muslim socialist won the mayor's race in New York and Dems took leadership in Virginia and New Jersey and other places across the U.S. The president said it was because people blame the GOP for the shutdown as he wonders if the 'nuclear' option is the only way to get things moving again. Rich Zeoli, Marc Cox, Tommy Tucker and Mark Reardon talk elections, filibuster, redistricting and a communist mayor in this episode.

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/06/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in their New Jersey gubernatorial race. With more than 95% of the vote reported, Sherrill leads by 13%—56.3 to 43.1%. Prior to election day, most pollsters—including Trafalgar—published data showing the race would be significantly closer. 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. 4:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Election Day. 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.

Election Night Results: Democrats with Key Wins in NJ, VA, CA, & NYC Nov 06, 2025

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/05/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli in their New Jersey gubernatorial race. 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? 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.
