Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- According to a report from Maggie Haberman and The New York Times, the Trump Administration spoke with officials in El Salvador about returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. However, President Nayib Bukele said, “no.” Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was residing in the U.S. illegally and is a member of the gang MS-13. 3:10pm- In newly released audio, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife can be heard providing an explanation for the second protective order she filed against him in 2020. In the one-minute clip, Jennifer Vasquez claims that Abrego Garcia physically abused her on several occasions and even threatened to kill her. Video of a traffic stop has also been made public which may show Abrego Garcia involved in human trafficking. According to Fox News, the Biden Administration’s FBI decided not to investigate—and he was immediately released by police. 3:20pm- Myles Morell, a reporter for The Daily Caller, asked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) whether Democrats were planning another visit to El Salvador to speak with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Omar responded: “f*** off.” 3:40pm- While appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Governor JB Pritzker defended his call for Americans to fight President Trump “everywhere and all the time”—telling Kimmel that “everybody understands, at this point, we have got an authoritarian in office.” 3:45pm- Trump Tariff Updates: On Thursday, German automaker Mercedes-Benz announced it will increase production at its facility in Alabama—resulting in a greater number of American made vehicles. And, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, China is now calling for “sincerity” in negotiating an end to the tariff fight with the Trump Administration. The news comes after Apple announced it would be manufacturing more devices in India and Vietnam. 3:50pm- Luigi Mangione…the musical? A San Francisco theatre has created a musical comedy about the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer.
