Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance appeared on ABC News with anchor George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos repeatedly asked the Vice President about allegations Border Czar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe—leading Vance to reject the story as “bogus,” and offering evidence disproving the narrative. A humiliated Stephanopoulos then abruptly cut Vance’s microphone, ending the segment, and throwing to commercial! 5:15pm- Rich and George play another Columbus Day clip from The Sopranos! 5:30pm- Matt Lamorgese—Chairman of the Philadelphia Young Republicans + National Committeeman for the Pennsylvania Young Republicans—joins George Bochetto on The Rich Zeoli Show and previews how midterm elections might play out in 2026. Are young Americans starting to embrace Republican values? And how will the murder of Charlie Kirk impact turnout—will it motivate young conservatives to get to the polls and speak out? 5:50pm- Rich speaks with Lamorgese about November 4th’s gubernatorial election in New Jersey—both agree that the election will be determined by voter turnout. Which candidate can get their supporters to the polls? 6:00pm- Mike Opelka hosts the final hour of the show as Rich prepares for his Politics & Pints event with New York Times best-selling author and Navy SEAL Jack Carr.
