New RNC Chairman Joe Gruters Joins the Show Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Kimmel is Back: Last week, ABC/Disney indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel’s comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network’s move appeared to be a result of Kimmel’s comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel’s vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many expressed concern that Carr’s warning amounted to a First Amendment violation. ABC/Disney is now announcing that the suspension has concluded, and Kimmel will be back on-air Tuesday night. Rich notes that if Carr had not opened his mouth and baselessly threatened ABC/Disney, Kimmel’s show would have likely ended permanently. Did Carr inadvertently save Kimmel’s career? 4:20pm- Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump: “If you could eat only one thing for a week, what would it be?” Trump responded, “probably steak.” 4:40pm- Joe Gruters—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show for his first interview since becoming RNC Chair last month! He discusses his experience as a Florida State Senator, November’s New Jersey gubernatorial election, and more. Chairman Gruters explains, “I’m committed to do whatever it takes to make sure we give the President a full four years [with a Republican-controlled House & Senate]” so “he continues to save the world.”

CNN: Democrats are the New Orlean Saints of Political Parties Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to new data from CNN’s Harry Enten, despite Donald Trump’s personally low approval ratings, Republicans still possess massive polling advantages on three key issues: the economy, immigration, and crime. Enten joked that the Democrats have become the New Orlean Saints of political parties—which bodes poorly for the party’s hopes of taking the House of Representatives and/or Senate in 2026. 3:10pm- On Sunday, Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill held their first NJ Gubernatorial debate at Rider University. During one notable moment, Sherrill refused to pledge that she wouldn’t raise taxes on New Jersey citizens. One new poll now has Ciattarelli leading by 1-point. 3:30pm- During Sunday’s debate, Mikie Sherrill attempted to explain why she voted in favor of a bipartisan House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—but publicly denounced Kirk, lying about his past comments and baselessly claiming he wanted to” roll back the rights of women and Black people.” Sherrill was unable to answer when confronted with her inconsistencies and falsehoods. 3:40pm- On Sunday, a memorial service for Charlie Kirk was held in Glendale, Arizona—with 73,000 inside of State Farm Stadium and an estimated 200,000 people in total showing up to the event. In a powerful moment during the ceremony, Erika Kirk said she forgives her husband’s accused killer. 3:50pm- During her Monday briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that President Donald Trump plans to sign an Executive Order designating Antifa as a terrorist organization.

Hypocrisy, censorship and the left's screaming reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension: the latest Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

Remember when hate speech was supposed to be policed? The left has apparently given up on that now that Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended for what he said in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Here's a wide-ranging, insightful take on the FCC and Donald Trump, hypocrisy and censorship from the Marc Cox show, Rich Zeoli, Annie Frey, Tara Servatius and more.

Jimmy Kimmel Show Canceled — and the Government Needs to Stay Out of It! Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/18/2025): 3:05pm- According to reports, ABC/Disney has indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel’s comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network’s move appears to be a result of Kimmel’s comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel’s vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many have expressed concern that Carr’s warning amounts to a First Amendment violation. Republicans must be consistent defenders of free speech. 3:15pm- Following ABC/Disney’s decision to end Kimmel’s show, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr went on television expressing joy over the announcement. Carr told MSNBC: “We're on a cable show right now. You don't have an FCC license and an obligation to serve the public interest. Podcasts don't either...Kimmel is free to do that—but if you have a broadcast TV license...it comes with an obligation to serve the public interest.” Rich points out that Carr’s comments aren’t helpful and allow Democrats to claim Kimmel is a victim of government-led censorship. 3:50pm- Callers weigh in on comments from the FCC Chairman and ABC/Disney’s decision to end Jimmy Kimmel’s show. Is the Trump Administration making a massive mistake getting involved in Kimmel’s termination? Most seem to agree, this is problematic. 4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr stated: "We at the FCC will enforce the public interest obligation. If there are broadcasters that do not like it, they can turn their license into the FCC." 4:15pm- Why does Matt’s microphone sound so bad today? He reveals that he’s working from a beach in Cape Cod…Justin says this is further proof that Matt is an Ivy League weirdo/elitist. 4:20pm- Fox News host Laura Ingraham stated that Carr should have stayed off television and allowed the market to determine whether Kimmel retained his show. Rich says her take is 100% correct: keep the government out of it! 4:30pm- During the Biden Administration, Democrats and media members called for widespread censorship of opinions they didn’t like—suggesting those takes amounted to “dangerous misinformation.” Republicans should not be adopting a similar stance just because they’re in power right now. 4:40pm- Why is FCC Chairman Brendan Carr constantly making television appearances and taking credit for Kimmel’s cancellation? He’s not doing the Trump Administration any favors. Does he have an interest in running for office? Because he seems to be prioritizing his own self interests. Rich says: “this guy has got to go.” 5:05pm- Rich receives a gift from Jack Carr! 5:10pm- On Monday, October 13th at 7:30pm—Rich will host New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr at the Zlock Performing Arts Center (at Bucks County Community College) in Newtown, PA. They’ll sit down for an engaging discussion about Jack’s latest thriller, Cry Havoc—the newest installment in his acclaimed James Reece series.

Complete Recap: Trump’s Joint Press Conference with British PM Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a joint press conference from the United Kingdom. Trump reacted to the U.K.’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state: "We have to remember October 7th—one of the worst, most violent days in the history of the world...I want an end. I want the hostages released...I have a disagreement with the Prime Minister on that score—one of our few disagreements, actually." 6:20pm- Earlier this week, FBI Director Kash Patel testified before the House Judiciary Committee where he answered questions about the Epstein files and operation “Artic Frost” —which, under the Biden Administration, targeted conservative leaning organizations like Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. 6:30pm- Tom Elliot’s latest montage reminds us that Democrats are the party of censorship. His clip includes Jen Psaki, Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Kamala Harris, Dan Goldman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. 6:40pm- Unbelievable: While speaking with Scott Jennings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said he may investigate “The View’ next. Rich points out that Democrats will now undoubtedly go after conservative programming whenever they regain power. Republicans should be protecting speech, not actively seeking censorship. 6:50pm- According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, executives at Sinclair and Nexstar—which own more than 60 local ABC stations—decided to no longer air Jimmy Kimmel’s show, leading ABC/Disney to cancel the program. The executives say they had no communication with the FCC prior to their decision.
