Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- U.S. Boots on the Ground? On Monday, President Donald Trump held a multilateral meeting from the White House—which included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. During an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump emphasized “you have my assurance” there will be no U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. 3:15pm- The far-left continues to downplay President Trump’s peace efforts—with some media members insisting Trump has been too cordial to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rich argues: “we can be the world’s marriage counselor,” it’s better than being the “world’s police department.” 3:30pm- Rich can’t remember names, none of the televisions are working in the studios, Matt gets yelled at (shocking), and Andrew is filling in for Justin! 3:40pm- Former Vice President Kamala Harris accuses Texas Republicans of “cheating” via redistricting—and claims the GOP wants to “dilute” the Democrat vote. Rich argues that someone should be “diluting” Harris’s drinks.
