Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Robert Peters—Senior Research Fellow for Strategic Deterrence in Heritage’s Allison Center for National Security—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a new Netflix film, “House of Dynamite,” which Bloomberg reports is causing the Pentagon to “fret.” In the film, a nuclear missile is launched at the United States, but is the Pentagon unable to repel the attack with interceptors? Peters explains what the movie gets wrong. 4:40pm- NBC10 reporter Lauren Mayk confronted Mikie Sherrill over her outlandish claim that Jack Ciattarelli is responsible for the deaths of “tens of thousands of people”—citing his tangential involvement in marketing for pharmaceutical companies. While appearing on Fox News, Ciattarelli revealed that his campaign intends to sue Sherrill over the baseless allegations. Rich notes that Sherrill’s line of attack is so abnormal and crazy that most voters will just dismiss it.
