Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/15/2025): 3:05pm- Last week, conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk was tragically murdered while speaking at a Turning Point USA event on Utah Valley University campus. In the aftermath, some on the far-left abhorrently defended the radicalized assassin’s actions—simply because they didn’t agree with Kirk’s political opinions. 3:10pm- On Monday, Vice President JD Vance hosted The Charlie Kirk Show from the White House, explaining that political violence “is not a both sides problem” right now. He continued: “24% of self-described very liberals believe it is acceptable to be happy about the death of a political opponent, while only 3% of self-described very conservatives agree. 3% is too many, of course. Another truth is that 26% of young liberals believe political violence is sometimes justified. And only 7% of young conservatives say the same…The data is clear. People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence.” 3:15pm- Joining VP Vance on The Charlie Kirk Show, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that Kirk was “the primary architect” behind unifying Kennedy with Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election cycle. 3:30pm- Drew Allen— VP of Client Development at Publius PR and the Editor of the Publius National Post—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article “The Day Charlie Died.” You can find the full article here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-173559583. Allen is also the host of 'The Drew Allen Show' podcast, and author of the book, “America’s Last Stand.” 4:00pm- Joseph Labarbera—Sussex County Republican Committee Chairman—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Sparta, New Jersey Mayor Neill Clark refusing to lower his town’s flag to half-mast to show respect for Charlie Kirk. Clark also crashed a vigil for Kirk on Saturday—shamelessly arguing with attendees. 4:20pm- During a concert in London, Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin took a moment to remember Charlie Kirk. Similarly, NFL teams like the Jets, Cowboys, Dolphins, Saints, Chiefs, Steelers, Titans, and Cardinals held moments of silence prior to the start of their games. 4:40pm- On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told members of the press that U.S. and Chinese negotiators have agreed upon the framework for a deal involving the social media application TikTok. 5:05pm- President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum—and took questions from the press. In response to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s appalling comments following Charlie Kirk’s murder, President Trump said she should be stripped of her House Committee assignments. 5:50pm- Rich is preempted for sports!

own could be assassinated for what they say and what they think.

0:56.8

And J.D. Vance hosted his show today. And rightfully so, he said this is not a both-sides problem.

1:02.4

The same thing President Trump has been saying, because this is not a both-sides problem.
