The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

• On Monday night, the Philadelphia Phillies won Game 1 of their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The final score was 5-3.
• According to Luke Broadwater of The New York Times, “Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise met after Jordan lost on the first ballot. Jordan asked Scalise for help but did not receive a pledge to do so, according to a person familiar with the conversation. Scalise and his allies are smarting from the way Jordan supporters undercut Scalise after he won a conference election but they refused to support him.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/17/us/house-speaker-jim-jordan-vote
• On Monday, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan imposed a limited gag order on Donald Trump—in a case that alleges Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Judge Chutkan’s gag order prevents the former president from verbally attacking witnesses and prosecutors publicly. Alarmingly, it may also restrict Trump’s ability to criticize specific elements of the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice. Could this gag order impact Trump’s ability to campaign—and is it a violation of his First Amendment right to free speech and petition? Trump is expected to appeal the order. While speaking at a rally in Clive, Iowa, Trump announced he is “willing to go to jail” as part of a principled stance against Churkan’s “unconstitutional” gag order.
• During a campaign rally in Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump jokingly compared himself to Al Capone, saying he has been indicted more times than the 1920s Chicago mobster.
• According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rocket struck a hospital in Gaza leaving an estimated 500 people dead. Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “The Palestinian Ministry of Health, a government body under the control of Hamas, previously claimed that an Israeli air strike was responsible for the hospital explosion.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/misfired-palestinian-islamic-jihad-rocket-responsible-for-hospital-explosion-idf-says/
