Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Rosemary Becchi—President & Founder of New Jersey Policy Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) President Sean Spiller spending $40 million on his failed NJ gubernatorial primary campaign where he finished in fifth place! Astoundingly, nearly all of his campaign funds came directly from the teacher’s union he heads. Understandably, NJEA teachers are upset—and now they’re filing a lawsuit. 6:30pm- In response to the Trump Administration’s attempted crackdown on violent crime and illegal immigration in Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson outlandishly claimed “the extreme right in this country refuse to accept the results of the Civil War, they have repeatedly called for a rematch. But in the coming weeks, we will use this opportunity to build greater resistance.” Johnson also signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
