The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/27/2025):

3:05pm- After the first week of his second term as president, Donald Trump mandated employees of the federal government work in-person, withdrew the nation from the Paris Climate Agreement, withdrew the nation from the World Health Organization (WHO) citing their willingness to cover-up China’s COVID-19 transgressions, delayed enforcement of a national ban of TikTok, recognized two genders—male and female, pardoned 1,500 Americans arrested for their actions on January 6th, 2021, expanded domestic energy production, shut down the U.S. Southern border and began deportations of dangerous illegal migrants, and guaranteed free speech on social media. Trump also fulfilled a long-term campaign pledge to focus on meritocracy and pivot away from the prioritization of far-left policies like diversity, equity, and inclusion (D.E.I.) within the federal government. Rich wonders, was this the most consequential first week in modern presidential history?

3:15pm- On Sunday, the Trump Administration arrested nearly 1,000 illegal migrants who have been accused of serious crimes. Comparatively, the Biden Administration averaged 310 arrests per day, according to Axios. The New York Post reports that in a raid over the weekend, federal agents arrested 50 members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in Denver, Colorado.

3:30pm- CIA Says Lab Leak the Likely Origin of COVID-19: Michael R. Gordon and Dustin Volz of The Wall Street Journal write: “The Central Intelligence Agency has now concluded that the deadly Covid-19 pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, lending credibility to a view that has been the focus of sharp debate among scientists and politicians for years. In doing so, the CIA has now joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Energy Department in identifying a laboratory mishap in Wuhan, China, as the probable source of the Covid virus. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and over seven million people worldwide.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/cia-now-favors-lab-leak-theory-on-origins-of-covid-19-eff4e67c.

3:40pm- After initially rejecting deportation flights containing Colombian citizens who entered the U.S. illegally, Colombian President Gustavo Perez reversed course—even providing the U.S. with his own presidential plane to assist in the process. After Perez’s refusal, President Donald Trump announced he would slap Colombia with a 25% tariff, with the promise it would quickly increase to 50%. The United States is Colombia’s largest trading partner.

4:00pm- Robert Bork Jr.—President of the Antitrust Education Project & President of the Bork Communication Group—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Federal Trade Commission in the Trump Administration. Will antitrust concerns persist over Microsoft’s $13 billion investment in OpenAI?

Plus, Bork reacts to Nvidia stock falling 17%, wiping out nearly $600 billion in market value.

4:30pm- Last week, prior to the NFC Championship game, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker misspelled “Eagles” while leading a chant to support the hometown team. Yesterday, the Eagles dominated the Washington Commanders, 55 to 23. But today, Parker spelled the team’s name properly—did she just jinx the whole city right before the Super Bowl?

4:40pm- While appearing on NPR, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner stated that he is exploring the possibility of filing local charges against Pennsylvanians who unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 despite President Donald Trump’s recent pardons. But how does Krasner have jurisdiction over federal offenses that were already reversed?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/23/2025):

3:05pm- 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 he 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. According to some reports, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is at least considering charging January 6th offenders with local crimes which would not be covered under President Trump’s pardon.

3:15pm- In the Oval Office on Monday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order clarifying the 14th Amendment—emphasizing limitations to “birthright citizenship.” The Trump Administration’s interpretation states that the children of non-U.S. citizens who are in the country unlawfully should not be granted citizenship. The Congressional Research Center has noted that the Supreme Court “has not firmly settled the issue in the modern era.” Rich points out that courts already recognize a narrow exception to the 14th Amendment, not granting U.S. citizenship to the children of diplomats.

3:40pm- Michael Donahue—Cape May GOP Chairman & former New Jersey Superior Court Judge—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the American First Policy Institute establishing a New Jersey-based chapter of their organization with Donahue serving as Chair!

4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. He also pardoned imprisoned pro-life activists.

4:40pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump suggested it might be a wise decision to be less reliant upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and instead allow states to manage their own disaster relief.

5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump’s speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF). At one point, Trump defiantly proclaimed: “I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal—I call it the Green New Scam. I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We’re going to let people buy the car they want to buy.”

5:30pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. Will the soon-to-be released files show that President Kennedy was killed by the C.I.A.??? Matt emphatically says he doesn’t believe in conspiracy theories and thinks Gerald Posner’s assessment is likely correct—there was no “inside job.” But Rich and Justin want to see the unredacted files before accepting that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

5:40pm- While speaking to reporters outside of the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that 1,500 U.S. troops will be sent to the Southern border to protect the country’s sovereignty. In an executive order signed on Monday night, the Trump Administration classified unlawful border crossings as an “invasion” and designated drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” which should allow the administration to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act.

6:05pm- Will former Vice President Kamala Harris run for Governor of California? PLUS, why is Doug Emhoff pretending to be tough?

6:20pm- Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s pardon—explaining that history will judge Fauci “harshly.”
