The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

• Congressman Jeff Van Drew— Representative for New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Orsted, a Danish energy company responsible for offshore wind farm development, announcing that it will no longer take part in windmill development off the New Jersey coast. Many environmental experts hypothesize that offshore wind development’s use of sonar to map the ocean’s floor prevents whales from communicating with one another and inhibits accurate navigation.

• In response to Orsted’s decision to cancel its planned wind development project off the coast of New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) released a statement critical of the Danish energy company: “Today’s decision by Orsted to abandon its commitments to New Jersey is outrageous and calls into question the company’s credibility and competence.”You can read the full statement here: https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562023/approved/20231031a.shtml
• Congressman Scott Perry—Representative for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District & Chair of the House Freedom Caucus—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the House Republican plan to pass a stand-alone bill that would provide over $14 billion in aid to Israel. In order to make the aid budget-neutral, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has proposed cutting Internal Revenue Service spending. Contrarily, the Biden Administration is seeking a $106 billion international aid package that would provide money for Ukraine and Palestine. Plus, Congressman Perry reacts to the revelation that President Joe Biden exchanged 82,000 emails under pseudonyms while serving as Vice President in the Obama Administration.
• While appearing on Fox News, Republican Congressional candidate Dalia al-Aqidi—a Muslim immigrant running for office in Minnesota—referred to her political opponent Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as the “number one antisemitic lawmaker in the United States.”
