Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/13/20255): 3:05pm- The Rich Zeoli Show is broadcasting LIVE from the Zlock Performing Arts Center at Bucks County Community College ahead of his Politics & Pints event with New York Times best-selling author and Navy SEAL Jack Carr. Rich is joined by George Bochetto—former candidate for U.S. Senate, former Pennsylvania State Boxing Commissioner, and Attorney at Bochetto & Lentz, P.C.—who is co-hosting as part of our special Columbus Day show! Bochetto has been instrumental in preserving the holiday in Philadelphia, including fighting to win the “unboxing” of the Christopher Columbus statue prominently displayed in Marconi Plaza! 3:30pm- Flashback: Then-Vice President Kamala Harris said of Columbus Day: “European explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations—perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this shameful past.” Thank goodness she didn’t win last November! 3:35pm- Does Tony Soprano still have the best take on Columbus Day? “He discovered America is what he did. He was a brave Italian explorer—and in this house Christpher Columbus is a hero. End of story!” 3:40pm- Rich recaps Friday’s massive America First Return to the Wildwoods Rally for Jack Ciattarelli. 4:00pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump traveled to the Middle East where he met with world leaders and attended the Gaza Peace Summit—formalizing a peace agreement his administration brokered between Israel and Hamas. He explained, “with the historic agreement we've just signed, those prayers of millions have finally been answered…Together, we have achieved what everybody said was impossible. At long last we have peace in the Middle East." Trump went on to emphasize that humanitarian aid is now pouring into Gaza—and that the world’s wealthiest nations have pledged to help rebuild provided de-militarization, as outlined in the peace agreement, is carried out. 4:15pm- During the Gaza Peace Summit, the Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif said he nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, Venezuelan opposition leader, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Maria Corina Machado told Fox News: "I decided to dedicate it to President Trump because he deserves it! Because not only has he been involved in only a few months in solving 8 wars, but his actions have been decisive to have Venezuela now at a threshold of freedom after 26 years of tyranny!" 4:30pm- 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 the historic peace agreement the Trump administration has brokered between Israel and Hamas. Dr. Coates is author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” 5:05pm- On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance appeared on ABC News with anchor George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos repeatedly asked the Vice President about allegations Border Czar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe—leading Vance to reject the story as “bogus,” and offering evidence disproving the narrative. A humiliated Stephanopoulos then abruptly cut Vance’s microphone, ending the segment, and throwing to commercial! 5:15pm- Rich and George play another Columbus Day clip from The Sopranos! 5:30pm- Matt Lamorgese—Chairman of the Philadelphia Young Republicans + National Committeeman for the Pennsylvania Young Republicans—joins George Bochetto on The Rich Zeoli Show and previews how midterm elections might play out in 2026. Are young Americans starting to embrace Republican values?
