Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/08/2025): 3:05pm- Rich is broadcasting LIVE…from a hospital bed? Unfortunately, Rich’s bad luck with health/medicine continues—he’s dealing with an infection. But if you hear beeping during the broadcast, don’t panic: his I.V. simply ran out. 3:15pm- On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump held a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida. While speaking with the press, Trump continued to express interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark. 3:20pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) defended Donald Trump’s assertion that the United States should purchase Greenland from Denmark—pointing out that it is not dissimilar from the Louisiana Purchase. 3:30pm- Faith Burns—Energy Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity & former Policy Advisor at the U.S. Department of Agriculture—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration’s decision to ban offshore drilling in most U.S. coastal waters. 3:40pm- Biden Admin Working to Effectively Ban Cigarettes. Emma Colton of Fox News writes: “The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving forward with a regulatory rule in the final days of the Biden administration that would effectively ban cigarettes currently on the market in favor of products with lower nicotine levels, which could end up boosting business for cartels operating on the black market.” You can read the full article here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-working-effectively-ban-cigarettes-11th-hour-proposal-gift-cartels-expert-says 4:00pm- Dan Schneider—Vice President of Media Research Center & Leader of the Free Speech Alliance—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that his social media platform Facebook will no longer censor posts, citing previous editorial errors and a desire to restore free speech online. 4:20pm- A Hooters waitress has gone viral on social media for all of the wrong reasons. After being pulled over for suspected D.U.I., the waitress attempted to flirt her way out of an arrest. Rich, Matt, and Justin debate: is she attractive? 4:40pm- According to a report from Mediaite, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA)—who serves as vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee—is attempting to delay a vote on Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Warner cited Gabbard’s relationship with former Syrian authoritarian leader Bashas al-Asad. But, as Rich notes, a group representing the victims of Syrian terror recently announced its support for Gabbard’s nomination. 5:00pm- Andrew C. McCarthy—Senior Fellow at National Review & former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for National Review, “Trump Turns to Supremes in Plea to Halt Friday Sentencing.” McCarthy notes that while progressives in New York want to brand Donald Trump as a convicted felon, the rest of the country isn’t on the same page—and that “lawfare” had a catastrophic impact on Democrats in the 2024 election.

Unfortunately, Rich’s bad luck with health/medicine continues—he’s dealing with an infection. But if you hear beeping during the broadcast, don’t panic: his I.V. simply ran out. 5:25pm- While broadcasting from Los Angeles, Fox News reporter Jonathon Hunt explained that firefighters, sadly, do not have the resources to continue fighting all of the wildfires in California. 5:35pm- Matt Rooney—Founder of SaveJersey.com & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Sunday’s 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss New Jersey politics.
