Summary

The Rich Zeolli Show- Full Show (10/22/2025): 3:05pm- Democrats and media members are apoplectic over the Trump administration’s decision to construct a grand ballroom at the White House—expanding the residence’s East Wing.

Despite left-wing outrage, Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all oversaw major construction projects while serving as president. Speaker Mike Johnson noted during a press conference earlier today: This is proof Democrats will attack President Trump for anything and everything he does. 3:30pm- Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) is in New Jersey campaigning alongside Jack Ciattarelli. While on the show yesterday, Rep. Donalds emphasized that Mikie Sherrill is no moderate: “I served with her. I know how she votes. She is a RADICAL.” 3:45pm- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to issue new dietary guidance encouraging Americans to increase saturated fat consumption. 4:00pm- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to issue new dietary guidance encouraging Americans to increase saturated fat consumption. Will the American Heart Association update its own guidance?

Decades [of] science has proven that saturated fats can raise your ‘bad’ cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease.” 4:10pm- During a segment on Piers Morgan Uncensored, progressive commentator/activist Harry Sisson said: “I dare you to name one high-ranking Democrat who compared Trump to Hitler.” Rich plays clips of then-President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both doing it prior to the 2024 election! 4:20pm- Democrats and media members are apoplectic over the Trump administration’s decision to construct a grand ballroom at the White House—expanding the residence’s East Wing.
