Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/12/2025): 3:05pm- Excessive Regulation: President Donald Trump has pardoned Michelino Sunseri—a record-setting trail runner who briefly used a restricted path while running the Grand Teton in Wyoming. Federal prosecutors had argued Sunseri violated National Park Service regulations. 3:20pm- The Trump administration is set to hit Italian pasta with a 107% importation tariff. 3:30pm- On Wednesday, House Democrats released emails showing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein discussing President Donald Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that the victim referenced in the email is Virginia Giuffre—who repeatedly stated Trump was never involved in any wrongdoing. In response, the Republican controlled House Oversight Committee released an additional 20,000 pages of documents related to the Epstein case. 4:05pm- On Monday night, eight Senators who caucus with Democrats—Angus King, Tim Kaine, Dick Durbin, John Fetterman, Maggie Hassan, Jeanne Shaheen, and Catherine Cortez Masto—joined Republicans to pass a spending package to end the government shutdown. The final vote in the Senate was 60-40. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on—and pass—the bill later today. 4:15pm- When asked if Chuck Schumer should remain Senate Minority Leader after several Democrats broke ranks and joined Republicans to vote in favor of reopening the government, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said, “this problem is bigger than one person.” 4:30pm- Hooters is making the move to become a “family friendly” restaurant + Coca-Cola is releasing a limited-edition holiday soda—smooth, creamy vanilla flavored Coke! Is there a marketing campaign that Matt won’t fall for? 5:05pm- On Wednesday, House Democrats released emails showing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein discussing President Donald Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that the victim referenced in the email is Virginia Giuffre—who repeatedly stated Trump was never involved in any wrongdoing. In response, the Republican controlled House Oversight Committee released an additional 20,000 pages of documents related to the Epstein case. 5:20pm- While appearing on CNN with Dana Bash, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said that while the far-right has mocked him and called him names, the far-left has openly called for him to die. 5:30pm- During a discussion with Bill Maher, Cheryl Hines revealed: “The Republicans have been very kind to me from the beginning.” 5:40pm- Rep. Mikie Sherrill delivered a 90-second speech from the House floor supposedly opposing the government funding bill—however, she primarily used the opportunity to brag about her gubernatorial election win and announce that it will be her final speech as a member of Congress: “This will be my last speech in this chamber.” She plans to submit her resignation next week—triggering a special election to fill her seat. Democrats will have another House vacancy after only just filling a previous vacancy Wednesday afternoon. 6:05pm- The Trump administration is set to hit Italian pasta with a 107% importation tariff. Aren’t the tariffs supposed to address national security concerns? 6:15pm- On Wednesday, House Democrats released emails showing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein discussing President Donald Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that the victim referenced in the email is Virginia Giuffre—who repeatedly stated Trump was never involved in any wrongdoing.

Caroline Levitt at the White House press briefing, which just wrapped up a short time ago,

0:22.7

getting asked about the Jeffrey Epstein emails, which are being released right now. And she said it is a cheap ploy by Democrats and the liberal media to distract from the government shutdown, which is going to be reopening as soon as the president gets the bill, and he said he

0:38.6

will sign it right away. And most likely that will happen later today. Now, of course,

0:44.8

obviously, you don't know until all the votes are in, but that's the, that's a trajectory

0:49.9

that we're on right now for that, which is that that will happen later today. and then the government will be reopened, and you heard Hakeem Jeffries there going on and whining about how terrible this bill is. A lot of whining from late-night comedians, air quotes, late-night liberal hacks who poses comedians on shows that were once late-night comedy shows. I think it's probably a better way to say it. Probably an easier way to say it. And John Fetterman coming out and saying who

1:40.1

who went hiking on the wrong trail. Yes. Went hiking on the wrong trail, didn't kill anybody,

1:48.8

didn't hurt anybody, didn't damage anything. And just basically went down a trail that was

1:55.6

closed in a national park and was going to go to prison for it. And that man received a pardon, which is good.

2:03.6

And I will get into some details with you about that as the show goes on today because
