Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced a 30-day federal takeover of Washington D.C.’s police department—while simultaneously deploying 800 National Guard troops—to fight violent crime in the nation’s capital. At the White House press briefing, Trump announced Attorney General Pam Bondi will oversee the federal takeover—while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will provide military support “if needed.” Additionally, the administration will assign 120 F.B.I. agents to conduct nighttime patrols throughout Washington D.C. While progressive politicians have attacked the Trump Administration over the decision, even MSNBC is now conceding that there is a serious crime problem that needs to be addressed. Has President Trump forced progressives into defending crime? 3:30pm- It’s Justin’s birthday today! 3:35pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security where he addressed erroneous claims made by Senator Elizabeth Warren that the administration is destroying Social Security—“she’s a mean, horrible human being” and has a history of lying. 3:40pm- While speaking with the press, President Donald Trump said that if Friday’s meeting with Vladimir Putin does not go well and there is no clear sign of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, Russia will face “very severe consequences” in the form of onerous sanctions. 3:50pm- Rich is scheduled to be on Fox News immediately after tomorrow’s show in Cape May. Matt is helping out by crafting talking points—so, does that mean Justin has to do Rich’s makeup? Plus, what’s Rich’s latest medical ailment? You’ll never guess!
