Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/22/2023:
3:05pm- On Saturday, former President Donald Trump revealed that he expects to be arrested for hush money payments disturbed to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016—though, no arrest has yet been made. The New York Post is now reporting that law enforcement is not expecting an arraignment until next week.
3:15pm- While appearing on CNN, political commentator Van Jones explained that he believes it’s a mistake for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to indict former-President Donald Trump for alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
3:30pm- While speaking before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that he hopes to “modernize the State Department” by “carrying out diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives.” Blinken also vowed to release a report on the Biden Administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
3:40pm- Congressman Jeff Van Drew—Republican representing New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the death of eight dolphins beached in Sea Isle City on Tuesday. Many environmental experts believe the sudden, drastic uptick in marine life deaths along the Atlantic Coast is linked to offshore wind development’s usage of sonar to map the ocean’s floor.
4:05pm- According to a report from The Daily Wire’s John Rigolizzo, the House Oversight Committee and Accountability Committee is “requesting documents related to the government’s response to the nationwide baby formula shortage.” Will the White House and/or Federal Drug Administration (FDA) be held accountable for their actions which exacerbated the 2022 baby formula shortage?

4:15pm- On Wednesday, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel testified before the Senate Health Committee addressing concerns regarding prices and side effects from his company’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. During the hearing, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) confronted Bancel about the risk of myocarditis in young men. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also went after Bancel—criticizing Moderna’s decision to “quadruple the price of the vaccine.”
4:30pm- While speaking with The Hill’s “Women Out Front”, Gisele Fetterman was asked if there is any “piece of legislation” she is currently looking into—but wait…she’s not a U.S. Senator! And where is Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) anyway?
4:40pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—former Deputy National Security Advisor & Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the strengthening alliance between Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Xi Jinping’s China. On Tuesday, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby insisted that the Biden Administration is not threatened by the alliance—but should we believe the Administration’s optimism?
5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can’t Talk About”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest National Review editorial, “How to Define ‘Woke.’” Dr. Reilly also weighs-in on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s potential indictment of former-President Donald Trump for allegedly paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

5:40pm- Mystery Movie Clip: “Mmm! This is a tasty burger! Vincent, have you ever had a Big Kahuna Burger?”

5:50pm- On Wednesday, President Joe Biden presented Bruce Springsteen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gladys Knight and Mindy Kaling with The National Medal of Arts during a ceremony at the White House.
6:05pm- On Wednesday, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) responded to a Politico report that several Republican congressional candidates had their military records improperly released. Massie tweeted: “This is chilling. The U.S. Air Force illegally released military records of several GOP candidates to the Democratic Party which then leveraged the material to run attack ads on at least one of them.” You can read the full report here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/22/air-force-gop-candidates-records-released-00088050
6:15pm- According to reports, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved authorization of a “lab-grown” chicken product created by a company called GOOD Meat.
6:40pm- Appearing on Fox News, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said that people who suggest COVID-19 didn’t come from a laboratory are “self-interested.”
