Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/27/2025): 3:05pm- In a series of articles published over the weekend, The New York Times examined the Democrat Party’s continued struggles appealing to the American electorate. Shane Goldmacher writes that Democrats “are still searching for the path forward”—noting that the party spent $20 million studying their “erosion” of support with “young men” specifically. In another article, Goldmacher—alongside June Kim and Christine Zhang—evaluate “how Donald Trump has remade America’s political landscape.” They document that 435 counties across the country became more “Democratic” from 2012 and 2024—however, 2,678 counties became more “Republican.” Further complicating matters is the 2030 census which is expected to cause comfortably blue states to lose electoral votes as citizens move to red states. You can read the articles here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/us/politics/democratic-party-voters.html. And here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/25/us/politics/trump-politics-democrats.html. 3:40pm- During a recent segment of Pod Save America, former Obama Advisor Dan Pfeiffer stated that Democrats are in “a huge bit of trouble” if they can’t win Latino voters moving forward—and if Latinos continue to migrate towards the Republican Party (as is currently the trend), there is “no path” to victory in future presidential elections. 4:05pm- Bill D’Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: Axios’s Alex Thompson says the media needs to investigate Donald Trump’s health + former FBI Director James Comey claims the Republican Party is “white supremacist adjacent.” 4:30pm- Rich was on Fox News earlier today (did he happen to mention that?) and debuted his new Tom Ford tie which he got on a (heavy) discount—but should he have purchased a “dogs playing poker” tie instead? PLUS, who was the best dressed president? Evidently it was Chester Arthur—who was so well-dressed that it annoyed Americans. He owned 80 pairs of trousers! 4:50pm- While speaking with reporters in Morristown, NJ, President Donald Trump said: “I’m not happy with what Putin is doing…he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people. And I don’t like it at all!” 5:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Donald Trump declaring he’s “not happy” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dr. Coates is author of the book, “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” You can find it here: https://a.co/d/iTMA4Vb. 5:40pm- While speaking with the press in Morristown, New Jersey, President Donald Trump continued to insist that Harvard University must make changes in order to receive federal funding moving forward. The Trump Administration has called on the Ivy League university to prioritize the education of American students, eliminate anti-Semitism on campus, and hire faculty representing a diverse ideology. According to a 2023 Harvard Crimson poll, only 2.5% of Harvard’s faculty openly identified as “conservative—with 77% labeling themselves as “liberal” or “very liberal.” 5:50pm- Clips of the Day: Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser goes to the pool, Emmanuel Macron’s wife hits him in the face, and humanoid robot kick boxing is launched in China! 6:05pm- On Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.—alongside FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya—announced the CDC will no longer recommend Covid-19 vaccination for health children and pregnant women, removing the vaccines from the immunization schedule. 6:15pm- Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino announced that the agency will continue several unresolved investigations, including who brought cocaine into ...

The New York Times had a piece. This is amazing. I mean, they're spending like $20 million or something crazy like that.

0:23.6

And they're saying in all these luxury hotels.

0:25.7

And they're bringing in the biggest minds in the Democrat Party.

0:29.8

I don't know who these people are because they clearly have not done a good job to try to figure out what went wrong and what's going wrong.

0:38.4

And they had over, ready for this out, 250 different focus groups across the country.

0:45.5

And they asked the focus group participants to describe the parties based on animals.

0:51.5

Okay, animals.

0:52.9

So when asked about the Democrat Party, the words that they used, the words that came to

0:58.4

mind were things like tortoise, sloth, and when describing Republicans, the animals

1:06.1

that came to mind were apex predators, like lions, tigers, sharks.

1:13.8

And there's a lot there.

1:15.5

First of all, it's a little bit weird that we're using animal analogies.

1:19.5

But I kept thinking of, you know, years ago when you were dating, you go on your first date,

1:25.9

maybe in somebody like, or maybe you do one of those,

1:28.5

those I get to know you exercises at a corporate retreat, and somebody said to you, if you could

1:31.9

be any animal, what would you be?

1:34.2

And everybody says, it was like, well, I'd be a bald eagle so I could see everything, or I'd be,

1:38.6

I'd be a lion, you know, so I'd be king of the jungle. Nobody ever says I'd be a sloth or I'd be a tortoise or I'd be a little woodchuck or something.

1:49.3

But that's the way people are describing Democrats with all those things.
