Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:
- The Drive at 5: Appearing on Fox News with Trey Gowdy, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vowed, if elected president, to fire Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray. Gov. DeSantis also confirmed that he would not support putting U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine.
- While appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jamie Harrison was asked to comment on Ron DeSantis’ presidential announcement. Harrison pivoted and said of the Republican presidential nominees, “they are all bad…they are all extreme.”
- Numerous news reports are suggesting that Amanda Gorman’s inauguration poem was “banned” from Florida schools—but is moving the poem to a different section of one school’s library synonymous with a ban?
- Speaking with Trey Gowdy on Fox News, Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) accused the Biden Administration of being unprepared for the end of Title 42—and subsequent illegal border crossings.
