Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 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.

Zoli. Big day for you today. In New Jersey, they had a hearing regarding the unidentified flying

0:48.2

objects. Now, Congressman Jeff Van Drew, who was about the most reasonable guy I know, thinks that

0:54.0

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?

1:07.8

I mean, really, that would be, that would really be the question.

1:10.6

Because I don't have much faith that be, that would really be the question. Because I don't

1:11.7

have much faith that this administration is going to be honest about, well, anything. You know, I really

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,
