Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (09/19/2025): 3:05pm- Trump Should End the Federal Communications Commission (FCC): ABC/Disney has indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel’s comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network’s move appears to be a result of Kimmel’s comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel’s vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many have expressed concern that Carr’s warning amounts to a First Amendment violation. Republicans must be consistent defenders of free speech. Rich thinks Carr should mimic Linda McMahon’s pledge to do away with the Department of Education and end the FCC once and for all. 3:20pm- During the Biden Administration, Democrats and media members called for widespread censorship of opinions they didn’t like—suggesting those takes amounted to “dangerous misinformation.” Republicans should not be adopting a similar stance just because they’re in power right now. 3:25pm- Flashback: In February 2022, then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki warned that if Spotify did not do more to police Joe Rogan’s Covid-19 “misinformation,” the federal government would get involved. 3:40pm- Listeners weigh in: Should the Trump Administration do away with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)? 3:50pm- On Friday, 38 Democrats—including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez—voted against a House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. The resolution ultimately passed with bipartisan support despite performative outrage from AOC. 4:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the launch of his new consulting company, Unified Solutions America, which will specialize in “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion rehab.” Plus, an unstable Luigi Mangione supporter is now claiming she’s married to an AI version of the alleged UnitedHealthCare CEO killer. 4:40pm- Matt is broadcasting from Cape Cod—where he ate a 1-pound lobster roll for lunch. Why the heck did he spend $45 for a sandwich!?!? 4:50pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump spoke with reporters from the Oval Office—announcing that he has struck a deal with Chinese President Xi regarding TikTok’s future in the United States. 5:05pm- Greg DeMichele begs Rich for a birthday shoutout…so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Greg! 5:10pm- On Friday, 38 Democrats—including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez—voted against a House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. The resolution ultimately passed with bipartisan support despite performative outrage from AOC. 5:20pm- During a House hearing, Rep. Rashida Tlaib baselessly claimed that the Trump Administration is engaged in a “fascist takeover.” Rep. Byron Donalds took a stand against the purposefully vitriolic language—which led to Tlaib having a complete mental breakdown. 5:40pm- On his podcast, Rainn Wilson condemned some of his liberal friends for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Mark Ruffalo agreed that type of behavior is unacceptable. 6:05pm- Flashback: Charlie Kirk shuts down a white nationalist who idiotically claims being American is synonymous with being white. 6:10pm- On Friday, 38 Democrats—including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez—voted against a House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. The resolution ultimately passed with bipartisan support despite performative outrage from AOC. 6:30pm- Trump Should End the Federal Communications Commission (FCC): ABC/Disney has indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel’s comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk.
