The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
6:05pm- Speaking from the Roosevelt Room of the White House, President Donald Trump held a press conference announcing OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and several other companies will invest $500 billion to build the nation’s artificial intelligence infrastructure. While taking questions from the press, Trump defended his decision to pardon people arrested for their actions on January 6, claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin “never would have gone into Ukraine” if he had been president at the time, and recapped his experience on Inauguration Day. Plus, what was in the letter Joe Biden wrote him and left in the Oval Office desk?
6:20pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ Americans arrested for a series of crimes related to events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 and commuted the sentences of 14 others. Rich notes that several things can be true at once: some of those arrested acted abhorrently, but the Department of Justice was overly aggressive with prosecutions.
6:40pm- REPLAY: Congressman Jeff Van Drew—United States Representative for New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Inauguration Day in Washington D.C., the Laken Riley Act, and President Donald Trump’s Day 1 executive orders which included a pause on the development of offshore wind farms in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans! Rep. Van Drew explains “it’s a great day for the Jersey Shore.”
