Rich Calls The $5,000 Promise A Blunt Political Bribe

Rich Zeoli joins us ahead of the Doylestown 9/11 broadcast, and the $5,000 dividend immediately returns. A JD Vance clip on rebate checks and fuel prices leads Rich to call the promise a political bribe, while the crew argues over whether $5,000 or the SAVE America Act should rank higher on the GOP wish list. Fight Club follows with a Target brawl, flying weaves and chokeholds before Jimmy Kelly’s access-card mishap nearly creates a studio version of the segment. A much darker restaurant video follows as we watch a Toledo waiter and other patrons stop an armed attack after a gun fails to fire at a woman at close range. From there we get into tipping rules and whether an expensive bottle of wine belongs in the tip base, then Rich returns for airport security: possible full water bottles for some PreCheck travelers and the new Gateside program for approved visitors without tickets. A viral drone video then launches a debate over whether drones help police avoid dangerous pursuits or give departments another reason to cut officers. We turn to the release of roughly 170,000 pages tied to toxic conditions around Ground Zero and firefighters demanding answers about what first responders were told after 9/11. Rich connects the issue to his father’s health and the crew discusses the long toll of illness among responders before tomorrow’s anniversary broadcast.
