Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/07/2025): 3:05pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and held a joint press conference from the White House—where Ishiba announced he will increase his country’s investment in the U.S. amounting to $1 trillion. The two world leaders also revealed plans for a joint venture which would send American oil to Japan. 3:40pm- Democrats continue to panic over the Trump Administration’s threat to dismantle and restructure the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). On Tuesday, the administration announced that many employees within the agency will be placed on leave—with many contractors being laid off. Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained that many of USAID’s activities are currently “conflicting” with State Department priorities. According to reports, USAID has been merged with the State Department. 3:45pm- As the Trump Administration begins to reconstruct USAID, Congressman Brian Mast posted a video to social media highlighting some of USAID’s most outrageous expenditures. Rep. Mast’s list includes: $15 million for contraceptives to the Taliban, $20k for drag shows in Venezuela, $450k to promote atheism in Nepal, $1 million to unionize gig workers in Brazil, $55k for a climate change presentation in Argentina, $350 million to build pier in Gaza, and $450k to help Indonesian coffee companies become more climate and gender friendly. 3:50pm- Make Straws Great Again: In a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced that he plans to sign an executive order reversing the Biden Administration’s initiative to ban plastic straws. Is there anything worse than a paper straw? 4:00pm- Paula Scanlan—Former Swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania & Advocate for Women’s Sports—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. On Wednesday, Scanlan was at the White House standing beside President Donald Trump as he signed an executive order preventing biological males from competing in women’s sports. Scanlan is now working with Scott Presler and the Early Vote Action PAC to flip New Jersey red! 4:25pm- On Thursday night, CNN host Erin Burnett aired a groundbreaking segment where she revealed one of Elon Musk’s DOGE staffers is a 19-year-old who goes by the nickname “Big Balls” online! 4:30pm- While speaking with reporter Tara Palmeri, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) suggested that the Democrat Party needs to “check the scoreboard” and realize that their far-left, extreme policies are politically toxic with most voters. 4:40pm- Senator John Fetterman announced he will not vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to cabinet positions. Fetterman was the only Democrat to confirm Pam Bondi as Attorney General. Politico wonders, could Fetterman be appealing toward moderates and preparing for a 2028 presidential run? 4:50pm- What’s your prediction for Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs? Rich, Matt, and Justin all pick the birds. E-L-G-L-E-S! EAGLES! 5:05pm- Harrison Fields—White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary & Special Assistant to the President—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his new appointment and what it is like working in the West Wing for President Donald Trump. Fields also reacts to President Trump’s executive order to protect women’s sports, DOGE cracking down on government waste, and Pam Bondi’s confirmation as Attorney General. 5:15pm- Rich, Matt, and Justin wonder if listener Roger is still tuned into the show? Earlier in the show, Roger said he was never listening to the show again because Rich constantly spoke over today’s White House press conference. Will Roger ever forgive us? 5:40pm- Speaking with Fox News, former USAID official Mark Moyar revealed that the agency largely attempted to subvert President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first term. Will Trump successfully dismantle the deep state during his second term? 5:50pm- On Friday, Preside ...
