Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/12/2025): 3:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed joint Congressional resolutions which will block California from enacting its ban on gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035—revoking a federal waiver allowing states to set their own tailpipe emissions standards under the Clean Air Act. Unsurprisingly, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) immediately released a statement announcing California will legally challenge the resolutions: “We are suing to stop this latest illegal action by a President who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of big polluters.” 3:15pm- Want to see the most deranged protester in all of Los Angeles? I think we have found her! The woman—who is carrying a leaf blower—vociferously proclaims that Los Angeles belongs to Mexico and tells Donald Trump to suck a body part that women don’t have! Plus, she says that Trump is only interested in deporting illegal migrants so that he can get revenge on Selma Hayek—who she claims rejected Trump’s romantic advances. 3:20pm- During a news conference on Thursday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was berated by Sen. Alex Padilla as she attempted to highlight the Trump Administration’s removal of dangerous criminals residing in the U.S. unlawfully. Padilla was so disruptive that he needed to be escorted out of the room by security. 3:45pm- Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Amazon investing $20 billion in rural Pennsylvania for AI infrastructure, anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 4:05pm- Breaking News: The House of Representatives has passed a recissions package that will claw back billions of dollars in federal funding to NPR and PBS. The package will now head to the Senate. 4:15pm- Who is funding the left’s “No Kings” protests? Walmart heiress Christy Walton—the widow of John T. Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton—funded a full-page advertisement in The New York Times promoting a nationwide protest against President Donald Trump’s Flag Day celebration in Washington D.C. The New York Post notes that Christy Walton has no role in Walmart’s operations but has a net worth of over $19 billion. Rich notes that it’s important to remember Walmart and its employees have played absolutely no part in this—and shouldn’t be financially punished via a boycott for an heiress’s far-left ideology. 4:40pm- The No Kings protest is expected to occur in numerous cities across the country this Saturday—including Philadelphia. Will District Attorney Larry Krasner prosecute protesters that turn violent? Nope! 5:05pm- Frannie Block—Reporter for The Free Press—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest article, “Reading, Writing, and Racism: The Three R’s of Philly Public Schools.” You can read the full article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/philadelphia-radical-curriculum-racism-israel. 5:20pm- The No Kings protest is expected to occur in numerous cities across the country this Saturday—including Philadelphia. Will District Attorney Larry Krasner prosecute protesters that turn violent? Nope! During a press conference on Thursday, Krasner shamelessly compared President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. 5:40pm- During a news conference on Thursday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was berated by Sen. Alex Padilla as she attempted to highlight the Trump Administration’s removal of dangerous criminals residing in the U.S. unlawfully. Padilla was so disruptive that he needed to be escorted out of the room by security. 5:45pm- What are Matt’s top 3 favorite Martin Scorsese films of all time? Rich and Justin are disgusted by the list…but, sadly, not surprised. 6:05pm- Daniel Turner— Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Donald Trump signing joint Congressional resolutions which will block California from enacting its ban on gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. ...
