Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Rich is finally back! He’s out of the hospital and doing well. Rich wonders if a wing of the hospital might be named after him—not because of any donation he has made, but because of the amount of time and money he has spent there! 3:15pm- On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. At one point, Hegseth outlined his plan to eradicate “woke” ideology from the U.S. military—vowing to prioritize combat preparation and competency. Hegseth also pledged to reinstitute any servicemembers who were kicked out of the military after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. 3:20pm- While questioning Pete Hegseth during his confirmation hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren humiliated herself. She accused Hegseth of being a hypocrite for once having said that no general should serve in the defense industry—though, Hegseth has never publicly taken a similar pledge that would apply to him. Hegseth adroitly noted he is not a general. 3:30pm- Ryan Manion—Chief Executive Officer of the Travis Manion Foundation & Author of “The Knock at the Door”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing. PLUS, Manion reveals that the Navy will name a ship after her brother! To learn more about the Travis Manion Foundation, visit: https://www.travismanion.org
