The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- “USIAD Drove Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax.” According to a new article written by independent investigators Alex Gutentag and Michael Shellenberger, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)—which is controlled by United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—ostensibly “fueled key” portions of the false narrative that Donald Trump’s 2016 election team colluded with Russian officials. The now debunked claim ultimately led to an impeachment attempt that fell short in the U.S. Senate. OCCRP denies the report’s findings. 3:20pm- The U.S. Senate has confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence in the Trump Administration. The final vote was 52-48 with only one Republican voting against her appointment, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). 3:30pm- Constitutional Crisis! On Monday night, CNN host Kaitlan Collins claimed the U.S. is in the midst of a “constitutional crisis” as President Donald Trump and his administration attempts to reduce the size of the executive branch. Similarly, The New York Times newsroom accused the Trump Administration of ignoring court orders and creating a “constitutional crisis,” but amazingly concedes the “crisis” will likely be resolved with the Supreme Court ruling in Trump’s favor! They conclude their article by preemptively accusing the court of “abdicating their responsibility.” 3:40pm- During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins accused the Trump Administration of “barring” an Associated Press journalist from a recent Oval Office Q&A with President Donald Trump. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the claim and noted that the Associated Press has reporters in the briefing room RIGHT NOW. 3:50pm- Rich teases a big show announcement in the 5 o’clock hour. Although, his clues were probably too good and now Matt is convinced the audience already knows what the announcement is going to be.
