Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- 45,000 Dockworkers Are Set to Go On Strike at Midnight. Paul Berger of The Wall Street Journal reports: “Dockworkers are preparing to strike at midnight across dozens of ports from Maine to Texas, threatening to block the movement of a swath of U.S. trade and rattle the American economy five weeks ahead of the presidential election. Trade groups representing hundreds of retailers and manufacturers from Walmart and Target to Caterpillar and General Motors have appealed to the Biden administration to intervene, warning a shutdown could hobble businesses and trigger renewed inflation during the busy holiday shopping season.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/dockworkers-union-strike-shipping-economy-81301038 3:15pm- What impact will a potential International Longshoremen’s Association strike have on the presidential election? 3:35pm- It’s only hour one into Monday’s show and things have already gone off the rails. YouTube has blocked Friday’s video stream—presumably due to music copyright issues. Rich yells at Matt, Justin, and Kirk for not being able to fix it. 3:50pm- On Meet the Press, NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki revealed polling data which shows that although Hispanic voters preferred Democrats by a 44% margin in 2012, that gap has shrunk to 14% in 2024. With Hispanic men, Trump and Harris are tied—and with Hispanic men under 50 years-old, Trump leads by 9. Of the issues most important to Hispanic voters (economics, border, and inflation), Trump leads on all three.
