Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (06/09/2025): 3:05pm- In response to a series of ICE raids intended to remove migrants residing in the United States unlawfully, protests broke out in Los Angeles, California—sometimes turning violent and destructive. Videos circulating on social media show ICE agents being assaulted with bricks and commercial-grade fireworks. Numerous vehicles—including Waymo self-driving taxis—were set on fire by violent demonstrators. As the New York Post notes, Waymo vehicles are electric and as they burn, the lithium-ion batteries are releasing toxic gases. Other videos show demonstrators burning American flags and chanting “F*** Trump.” As the protests carried on into the night, multiple businesses were looted in downtown Los Angeles, according to reports. 3:10pm- In response to days of lawlessness, the Trump Administration authorized use of the California National Guard to quell violence in Los Angeles. On Monday, the state of California announced it is suing the administration over its decision. Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) continue to baselessly insist that things were under control—and federal assistance wasn’t requested or needed. 3:15pm- According to polling data from CNN, 54% of Americans approve of the Trump Administration’s program to deport immigrants illegally residing in the United States. While speaking to the press on the White House lawn, President Donald Trump referred to Los Angeles rioters as “insurrectionists”—noting that if he were Border Czar Tom Homan, he would consider arresting California Governor Gavin Newsom for interfering with ICE’s deportation of illegal migrants. In response, Newsom has claimed Trump is “inflaming conditions” and has exceeded his authority to prevent violence, declaring: “Democracy is in the balance!” 3:40pm-During a business roundtable at the White House, President Trump answered questions on a series of topics including: violence in Los Angeles, far-left activist Greta Thunberg arriving in Israel, and rumors of a physical altercation between Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Trump denied that the Musk-Bessent argument ever turned physical—and surprisingly seemed open to a phone call with Musk after last week’s public feud. 4:05pm- Rich recaps his appearance on Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Failla, we listen to terrible generic return music—though, it’s likely better than what Matt would have selected, and TMZ has released a new documentary suggesting there may have been a fifth plane on September 11th. 4:10pm- While speaking with MSNBC, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) defiantly stated: “Tom [Homan], arrest me! Let’s go!” The Trump Administration has openly contemplated arresting Newsom for interfering with ICE’s deportation efforts. Rich explains that the administration should not arrest Newsom—and doesn’t expect it will happen. However, if it did occur it would be an enormous gift to Newsom’s presumed 2028 presidential campaign. 4:20pm- In response to a series of ICE raids intended to remove migrants residing in the United States unlawfully, protests broke out in Los Angeles, California—sometimes turning violent and destructive. Videos circulating on social media show ICE agents being assaulted with bricks and commercial-grade fireworks. Numerous vehicles—including Waymo self-driving taxis—were set on fire by violent demonstrators. As the New York Post notes, Waymo vehicles are electric and as they burn, the lithium-ion batteries are releasing toxic gases. Other videos show demonstrators burning American flags and chanting “F*** Trump.” As the protests carried on into the night, multiple businesses were looted in downtown Los Angeles, according to reports. 4:25pm- Breaking News: U.S. Marines have been deployed in Los Angeles, California in response to wide-spread unrest. 4:30pm– Jack Ciattarelli—Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey and a former New Jersey State Representative—jo ...
