The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

• On Friday, George Santos became the sixth congressman in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives. The House voted 311 to 114 in favor of removing him following numerous allegations of lying about his background and a 23-count indictment that includes allegations he “repeatedly, without authorization” charged donor credit cards—depositing funds into his own bank account.
• According to a report from Ronen Bergman and Adam Goldman of The New York Times, “Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened…But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.” You can read the full report here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html
• On Friday, Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres spoke at the 28th U.N. Climate Conference (COP28) in Dubai. During his speech, Guterres called for “ending fossil fuel subsidies, and adopting a windfall tax on profits.” But most importantly, who does Secretary-General sound like—the Count from Sesame Street or Bela Lugosi in Dracula?
• Comedian Mark Riccadonna joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss preparing for the holiday season—including cutting down the family Christmas tree in front of his very judgmental children. Plus, what defines a Christmas movie? Does a movie merely need to contain a Christmas scene in order to qualify? If so, Mark’s favorite Christmas movie is Goodfellas.
