Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Democrats continue to battle against the Trump Administration’s war on corruption and wasteful spending within the executive branch. Rich wonders: what are they so afraid of? While speaking with CNN, House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) outlandishly stated that Democrats need to use “actual weapons” to fight back against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. 6:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on federal government corruption and censorship. Thacker notes that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for complying with the Biden Administration’s censorship efforts—but only because he was “caught red handed” and the information was already public knowledge.
