On Wednesday, a Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic heard from experts in science, medicine, and infectious disease to help determine the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Robert Redfield, the former Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), testified that COVID-19’s unique characteristics mean that it was likely the result of gain-of-function research. Dr. Redfield explains, “[i]t's important to understand what the cleavage site does... It changes the orientation of the binding domain of Covid. So now it could not see the Ace2 receptor, it totally changes the orientation, so it has a high affinity for human receptors... It didn't seem that it belonged there”—concluding that the virus was most likely engineered.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/07/2023):

3:05pm- On Monday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson released never-before-seen footage from the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. The footage revealed several instances in which the January 6 Commission lied, or withheld, relevant information to advance the left’s preferred narratives. 40,000 hours of Capitol footage was provided to Carlson by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

3:25pm- Among the storylines Tucker Carlson shed new light upon was that of Jacob Chansley aka the “QAnon Shaman”—who the media established as the face of January 6. However, thanks to new footage, it appears he was escorted around the Capitol by police officers and never acted violently. While he was undoubtedly in the wrong for entering the building, was his 4-year prison sentence justifiable when considering this new footage? Why wasn’t this footage made available sooner?

3:45pm- Appearing with Alisyn Camerota, CNN Senior Media Reporter Oliver Darcy accused Tucker Carlson of attempting to “rewrite” history. Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger called Carlson a liar and claimed the January 6 Committee conducted “one of the most transparent hearings in history.”

4:10pm- While speaking on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch to silence Tucker Carlson, preventing him from airing any more never-before-seen January 6 footage. Should a United States Senator ever call for media censorship—even if he disagrees with the message?

4:20pm- Matt says Rich’s impersonation of Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sounds almost exactly the same as his impersonation of Mama Zeoli…Does anyone else agree?

4:40pm- In Tuesday’s edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the newspaper documents WHYY’s decision to unjustly fire Jad Sleiman—a reporter who worked for the publicly-funded station’s science show, “The Pulse.” Sleiman, a Marine veteran, is also a standup comedian. According to Sleiman, he was fired for “violating WHYY values” with material featured in his stand-up routine, which was completely unrelated to his work at WHYY. He joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his “cancellation.” You can follow him on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/jadslay/?hl=en

5:20pm- Appearing on Fox News, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) stated that the reason Dr. Anthony Fauci quickly dismissed a laboratory leak being the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic, was because Dr. Fauci has some degree of “culpability” for providing Wuhan, China gain-of-function researchers with funding.

5:40pm- Former President Donald Trump reacted to Tucker Carlson’s January 6 revelations—congratulating Carlson for “one of the biggest ‘scoops’…in US history.”

6:00pm- For weeks, the national media has tethered Governor Ron DeSantis to legislation proposed by the Florida State Senate which, if passed, would require bloggers to register with the state. However, on Tuesday, Gov. DeSantis said he has never supported the bill, nor would he ever support it. Will the media retract their previous claims?

6:10pm- According to Ben Zeisloft of The Daily Wire, “British Health Minister Matt Hancock wanted to ‘frighten the pants’ off the nation to scare residents into compliance with a sweeping COVID lockdown regime, according to more than 100,000 leaked messages among senior officials in the United Kingdom”—ultimately, choosing what time would be most convenient to “deploy” the promotion of a new variant.

3:05pm- According to The New York Post’s Miranda Devine, “[n]ew emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the COVID-19 pandemic reveal the deceptive nature of Dr. Anthony Fauci.” In early 2020, Fauci commissioned a paper to “disprove the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.” You can read the opinion editorial here: https://nypost.com/2023/03/05/new-emails-show-fauci-commissioned-paper-to-disprove-wuhan-lab-leak-theory/

3:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed allegations that Dr. Anthony—as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease—pushed researchers to disprove the laboratory leak theory.

3:40pm- While speaking with Margaret Brennan, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, “I think we should work under the assumption that there is a probability [the COVID-19 pandemic] was a lab leak…we ought to look into outlawing that kind of research…or conduct it in… high security labs.”

4:10pm- On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Ventura, California. During his speech, in front of a packed crowd, Gov. DeSantis criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, Disney, and woke ideology.

4:15pm- Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) taking place outside of Washington, D.C. over the weekend. Her speech was not well attended—is she just campaigning to be the eventual Republican Presidential nominee’s Vice President?

6:05pm- A New York Times opinion editorial by David Wallace-Wells theorizes that “we’ve been talking about the lab-leak hypothesis all wrong.” Wallace-Wells writes, “if you had been told, back in 2019, that this would be the state of knowledge in 2023, would it not seem extremely weird to you that there has not been a broad public conversation about the wisdom of potentially dangerous virological research in the meantime? That so much more oxygen had been eaten up by partisan theater than by public debate over the policy implications of such a possibility?... The boundaries of mainstream discourse have suggested that we should resolve the matter of pandemic origins before moving on to the implications of the lab-leak hypothesis. But this has proved a paralyzing standard.” You can read the editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/opinion/lab-leak-energy-department-covid.html
