The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- 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. 3:10pm- 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” and said he had no interest in taking anyone’s food away from them. Kennedy joked that, in fact, his “boss” is a big fan of McDonald’s and Diet Coke. 3:15pm- During Wednesday’s Senate confirmation hearing, Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) grilled Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert Kennedy Jr. over Lyme disease, transgender policy, and abortion. 3:30pm- Bethany Mandel—Author of the bestselling book “Stolen Youth” & Co-Founder of the upcoming podcast and Substack “The Mom Wars”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest piece for The New York Post, “JD Vance is making it clear: We need to make American families great again.” Plus, Mandel reports that Kamala Harris wouldn’t allow JD Vance and his family to tour the Vice President’s official residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory prior to Inauguration Day! You can find her work at The New York Post here: https://nypost.com/author/bethany-mandel/. 3:50pm- BREAKING NEWS: 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.
