Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/11/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, the Trump Administration secured the release of Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel from a Russian prison. Fogel was wrongfully detained in 2021 and had received a 14-year sentence at a hard labor camp. 3:20pm- 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- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a new report which indicates the Iranian threat on Donald Trump’s life was far more serious than the public was led to believe during the 2024 campaign. Crabtree is author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—which is available for pre-order now. 4:00pm- On Monday night, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum reversing the naming of Fort Liberty—and renaming it Fort Bragg. Though, the military base will now be named after a World War II hero, Roland L. Bragg. 4:15pm- During Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, the U.S. Secret Service aired a recruitment commercial directed by Michael Bay. 4:20pm- Joining President Donald Trump from the Oval Office, Elon Musk defended his work on behalf of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—emphasizing that it is important that elected officials get to decide what happens rather than a “large unelected bureaucracy.” 4:30pm- Senator Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show and reacts to the Trump Administration securing the release Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel from a Russian prison. Earlier this year, Senator McCormick and Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) drafted a letter calling for Fogel’s release. 5:05pm- Joining President Donald Trump from the Oval Office, Elon Musk defended his work on behalf of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—emphasizing that it is important that elected officials get to decide what happens rather than a “large unelected bureaucracy.” After being accused of ignoring the courts and causing a “constitutional crisis” by media outlets like CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, President Trump emphasized that his administration will respect judicial rulings. 5:20pm- 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.
