Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/11/2024): 3:05pm- While appearing on Fox News with Harris Faulkner, Congressman Jeff Van Drew said he has heard from a reliable source that the mysterious drones flying over North and Central New Jersey may be Iranian. 3:10pm- According to reports, Christopher Wray has informed colleagues that he plans to step down from his position as FBI Director. The decision is unsurprising, as president-elect Donald Trump has already announced his plans to nominate Kash Patel to serve as the head of the bureau. 3:35pm- During a press briefing on Wednesday, Deputy Defense Press Secretary Sabrina Singh denied Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s claims that the drones flying over New Jersey are of Iranian origin—or that they are confirmed to be adversarial. Though, she was unable to explain where the drones are from or what purpose they serve. 3:40pm- Phil Kerpen—President of American Commitment—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Donald Trump’s cabinet appointments, reducing the power of unelected bureaucrats, and which policies the Trump Administration and Republican Congress will prioritize in January. 4:05pm- State Senator Mike Testa— Serving New Jersey’s 1st District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a Homeland Security briefing he attended earlier today where federal officials were unable to offer any clarity regarding the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey at night. 4:15pm- Listeners react to the mystery drones flying around North and Central New Jersey—why doesn’t the government just shoot one down and analyze it? 4:30pm- According to a new CNN poll, 65% of Americans have confidence in Donald Trump’s ability to solve economic problems. In fact, a majority of Americans have confidence in his performance on all major issues, including Russia/Ukraine, immigration, providing leadership, foreign affairs, appointing the best people, and using power responsibly. 4:35pm- While speaking on Newsmax, Senator John Cornyn said he warned Pete Hegseth that his confirmation process will likely be very unpleasant—but encouraged him to remain strong. 4:40pm- Pete Hegseth Foils Media Hit Piece. Amanda Prestigiacomo of The Daily Wire writes: “On Wednesday, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, scooped a left-wing media outlet that was preparing to publish a story about Hegseth supposedly lying about getting into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Hegseth, a decorated combat veteran, posted photos of his acceptance letter from the academy in a now-viral post. The 44-year-old said he chose not to attend the academy after he was accepted.” ProPublica ultimately decided not to run the report.

Rich notes that Trump has had the greatest political comeback in American history. 5:10pm- Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) condemned progressives for praising Luigi Mangione—the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Meanwhile, during an appearance on MSNBC with Joy Reid, Senator Elizabeth Warren shamefully explained away the murder: “you can only push people so far” citing problems with the healthcare industry. 5:25pm- In a post to X, Sen. John Fetterman announced he would be supporting Rep. Elise Stefanik’s appointment to serve as United Nations Ambassador. He wrote: “Always was a hard YES for Elise Stefanik but it was a pleasure to have a conversation. I support defunding UNRWA for its documented Hamas infiltration and fully look forward to her holding the UN accountable for its endemic antisemitism and blatant anti-Israel views.” 5:40pm- Rich gets mentioned on Fox News’ “The Five”—but Matt doesn’t have the audio. And why doesn’t he watch tv!?!? 5:45pm- While appearing on Fox News with Harris Faulkner, Congressman Jeff Van Drew said he ...

0:15.8	Well, good riddance to Christopher Ray.
0:19.1	Good riddance.
0:20.3	Bye-bye. The worst. I mean, FBI director, what a disgrace. Swamp creature, you know, recommended him. Was Chris Christie? Yes, that's right. Well, he's resigned. He's going to be out. Let's hope Catch Patel gets in. Welcome to the show. Glad you're here today. 855, 8, 9, 12, 10.
0:39.4	And on X at Rich Zoli. Big day for you today. In New Jersey, they had a hearing regarding the
0:46.4	unidentified flying objects. Now, Congressman Jeff Andrew, who was about the most reasonable
0:51.6	guy I know, thinks that this is Iran and that they have a ship stationed off of the East Coast and they're flying drones off of this.
1:00.1	Now, the Pentagon has denied this, but of course, obviously, I guess the question is, do we believe the Pentagon or do we believe Jeff Van Drew?

1:18.5	don't. I think this administration, there are a bunch of liars, and nothing would surprise me.
1:24.4	And why would Van Drew just make up the fact that Iran could be, would be doing this?
1:30.0	Like I said, he's one of the most reasonable guys I absolutely know. And he would not just say that
1:35.4	unless he had really good reason to believe that. So that's a fascinating development,
1:40.7	obviously, in all of this, as we're here on the show today, talking about that.
1:46.4	And I have to wonder, too, could it be China?
1:49.7	Because it could be China and Iran, the combo platter.
