Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Former U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has been sentenced to 11-years in prison. Last year, Menendez was found guilty of multiple counts of bribery and extortion—trading his political power for compensation, sometimes in the form of gold bars. According to reports, Menendez’s conviction marks the first time a U.S. Senator in a leadership position has been found guilty of serving as a foreign agent while in office. After leaving court, Menendez praised President Donald Trump and said he was right about corruption within the legal system—ostensibly begging Trump for a pardon. 6:10pm- White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller grilled CNN host Jake Tapper during a television exchange on Tuesday night. 6:15pm- “What Happened When DEI Came to the Military?” Madeleine Rowley of The Free Press documents how DEI programs within the U.S. military were viewed as “Soviet indoctrination” by those who witnessed the policies firsthand. You can read the full article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/dei-military-pete-hegseth-trump. 6:40pm- On Wednesday, Donald Trump signed his first bill into law since becoming the nation’s 47th president—The Laken Riley Act. The legislation states that if an immigrant who has entered the country illegally commits a crime, like theft, they must be detained. 6:50pm- On Wednesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services, testified before the Senate Finance Committee. During his opening statement, Kennedy emphasized that he is “not anti-vaccine.”
