Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to effectively dismantle the Department of Education. Last week, the department announced it was eliminating 1,950 staff positions and today’s order is expected to further reduce the size and authority of the agency. During the signing ceremony, President Trump emphasized that Title I programs and IDEA will still be federally funded and will not be touched. The programs provide funding for students in high-poverty areas as well as students with disabilities. President Trump emphatically stated: “we are going to bring education back to the states where it belongs” and emphasized that teachers—whether they are in unions or not in unions—are some of the most important people in the country, vowing to make sure they are taken care of. In order to completely do away with the department, Congress will need to pass legislation explicitly authorizing its removal. 6:30pm- During a recent interview, Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan explained that “in four weeks, we arrested more criminal aliens in the interior of the United States than Joe Biden did in a year.” 6:40pm- Sarah Gabel Seifert—President of Co-Founder of EveryLife—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her pro-life diaper company and their brand new initiative: “EveryLife launched a campaign last week called Praying for More Babies in 2025 amid declining fertility rates and societal pressures. From March 11th to April 11th, EveryLife is inviting married couples longing for a child—whether they are hoping for more children or still waiting to hold their first—to sign up to be covered in prayer through the end of 2025. The EveryLife team, along with prominent Christian leaders, will be praying for each couple by name, standing in faith with them as they seek the gift of a child. Each month, EveryLife will be communicating with the couples sharing which prayer partners are covering them, along with encouraging scripture and an opportunity to share with us if their prayers are answered and they do become pregnant as they trust in God’s perfect timing.”
