Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Abel Maldonado—former Lieutenant Governor of California—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss California Governor Gavin Newsom’s pledge to gerrymander the state even further in order to counter Texas’s redistricting efforts. Notably, Republicans currently hold just 17% of the congressional seats in CA—despite nearly 40% of the state voting for Donald Trump in 2024. Plus, Maldonado reacts to a recently resurfaced clip of Newsom from 2011 where he discusses his plan to make California great again. 5:20pm- In a bizarre video he voluntarily posted to social media, former FBI Director James Comey went into great detail about how much he loves Taylor Swift and her music. He’s even in a Taylor Swift fan group text! 5:40pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his call for the “Trump administration to investigate what it suspects is a coordinated ‘national lawfare campaign’ by left-wing climate activists aimed at influencing thousands of judges on how to approach climate litigation.”
