Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to a report from New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan, prediction markets—like PolyMarket and Kalashi—are routinely flooded with “dark money” which may be manipulating public perception of prominent political races, specifically the NYC mayoral race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. Could the race be a lot closer than we are expecting? 3:20pm- According to a new poll from Quantus Insights, 53% of New Jersey voters believe their friends, co-workers, and neighbors will be voting for Republican Jack Ciattarelli—compared with just 47% for Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Is this a sign that Ciattarelli has momentum less than a week before Election Day? 3:30pm- Congressman Scott Perry—U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen, and he even references the film Tombstone! 3:50pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping—agreeing to reduce tariffs in exchange for easing restrictions on the trade of rare earth minerals.
