Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Paula Scanlon—Former Swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania & Advocate for Women’s Sports—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump Administration’s decision to pause $175 million in federal funding to the UPenn in response to the school allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports. Scanlan is now working with Scott Presler and the Early Vote Action PAC. 5:20pm- Disney Disaster: Disney’s live action remake of the classic film Snow White hit theaters on March 21st. Despite needing to earn a reported $600 million to cover production and marketing costs, the film only grossed $43 million in its opening weekend. Part of the problem, according to reports, is Disney’s unwillingness to put the film’s star, Rachel Zegler, on an extended promotional tour due to her past controversial comments which have included criticisms of the original Snow White story, nasty comments about castmates, and profane remarks about President Donald Trump and his supporters. 5:30pm- Elizabeth Pipko— Spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump Administration’s successes, Alec Baldwin continually humiliating himself, and Snow White flopping at the box office. Pipko is a former model, a 2016 Trump campaign staffer, and author of the book, “Finding My Place: Making My Parents’ American Dream Come True.”
