Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held his first White House meeting with all appointed cabinet officials. During the meeting, Elon Musk—the head of the Department of Government Efficiency—stated “this is an incredible group of people. I don’t think such a talented team has ever been assembled,” calling it “the best cabinet ever.” 3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she would remove intelligence officials who engaged in vulgar, sexually explicit conversations in government chatrooms. Gabbard explained: “I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated, and their security clearances will be revoked.” 3:20pm- CNN anchor Jake Tapper announced the release of his latest book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” But Rich notes Tapper is a hypocrite. During an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter. 3:40pm- Is the blooming onion at Outback Steakhouse the best appetizer? Rich argues it’s thanks to the restaurant chain’s use of beef tallow instead of seed oils. Interestingly, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has argued seed oils are less healthy than beef tallow. So, are more restaurants going to start using beef tallow again?
