Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

Phil Kerpen—President of American Commitment—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his most recent editorial, “FCC Chair’s Bad Wi-Fi is Not a Reason to Regulate the Internet.” Kerpen writes: “For two years, starting in 2015, the FCC regulated Internet service providers as public utilities in the name of net neutrality. When the Trump FCC under Chairman Ajit Pai proposed to repeal those Obama-era regulations, the media and other Democrats unleashed a series of apocalyptic predictions.” Disturbingly, earlier this month, “[FCC chair Jessica] Rosenworcel announced a new proposed rule almost identical to the short-lived Obama rule…The new proposal even explicitly reserves the right to engage in ex-post rate regulation, deciding after the fact that a company charged too much for a service.” You can read Kerpen’s editorial here: https://www.americancommitment.org/fcc-chairs-bad-wi-fi-is-not-a-reason-to-regulate-the-internet/
Has Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) actually done something good? According to a report from Brady Knox of The Washington Examiner: “Earlier in October, Dr. Ronald G. Taylor, superintendent of schools for the South Orange-Maplewood School District, sent a letter to parents announcing that no Halloween celebrations would be held by the school district, claiming that doing so may ‘violate the dignity of some of our students and families, either culturally or religiously.’ The cancellation of the holiday was bashed by the governor.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/new-jersey-murphy-slams-school-canceling-halloween
Dave McCormick—Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania & former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs during the George W. Bush Administration—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his campaign to unseat Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA). During the interview, he emphasizes the need for continued U.S. support for Israel as the country wages war against Hamas terrorists. McCormick also reacts to news that Rep. Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker of the House. You can learn more about his campaign here: https://www.davemccormickpa.com

0:30.0	That was very, very impressed by a lot of things he had to say in his speech today, going after national debt, saying the border has to be secured, and in a few moments, the house will be voting on a measure to support Israel. A standalone measure to support Israel. Welcome to the show, glad you're here, 855-839-1210 on Twitter at Rich, as he only great to have you with us. As we are all dealing with the Philly's heartbreak, the loss last night, but hey, look, at least we still have the Eagles winning,
1:00.0	we now have a conservative as speaker, so that makes me happy. Got to celebrate the little things, and the team went further than many people had ever suspected that they would. So, you know, it was a good team, it was just a crappy game, and everybody was trying to, for too many home runs, in my opinion, if you asked me, Phil Karpens, a big baseball guy. He's also president of American commitment. Phil, did you watch the game last night? Yeah, I watched it, you know, I, I root for my former match, so I love seeing
1:30.0	Zack Wheeler deal the way he did on two days rest, and, you know, I like seeing policy world get the safe, so, you know, that's kind of my pathetic perspective after the horrendous season, the myself guys have this year. Yeah, and the only reason I'll even conduct this interview with you is, because you acknowledge that the bet's got a horrendous season, and that gives, that gives us some joy today, here in Philadelphia, so we'll be happy, compared to a week ahead, you got to be pretty happy here, yeah.
2:00.0	I want to talk to you about a lot of things today, but first of all, obviously, I'd be
2:04.0	remiss if I did not get your thoughts on the new speaker of the house.
2:07.0	Yeah, I mean, it seems pretty good from what I've been able to see.
2:12.0	I mean, I don't know him that well. I might have met him once or twice.
2:15.0	I certainly didn't think of him as a speaker contender until I guess the last couple of days.
2:21.0	But I think he's a lot more conservative than Kevin McCarthy.
2:25.0	And of course, you know, the test is going to be getting delivered results.
2:28.0	So we'll see. I don't know. I mean, the challenge, of course, for any speaker is that the majority is raised or sin.
2:35.0	And so that's why it's been so difficult to get much of anything done in the house.
2:38.0	And that's why we had the last few weeks of not being able to elect a speaker.
2:41.0	But, you know, he did what nobody else could do so far, which is unite everybody.
2:45.0	So let's see if he can actually do that on some legislation also.
2:49.0	Yeah, uniting everybody would be good.
2:52.0	It certainly seemed this came out of nowhere.
2:54.0	All of a sudden, everybody just coalesced around him.
2:57.0	But hey, Trump praised him. He's a gym Jordan guy.
3:00.0	And I know that you probably loved hearing him talk about the national debt today.
3:04.0	Because I know that an American commitment, you talk about that a lot.
