Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (03/20/2025): 3:05pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles—citing their hatred for the CEO, and Trump Administration advisor, Elon Musk. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) told a crowd in Wisconsin that he enjoys watching Tesla’s stock go down. 3:30pm- Last week, President Donald Trump issued orders to deport roughly 250 dangerous gang members who entered the U.S. unlawfully—sending them to El Salvador where they will be held at the country’s “terrorism confinement center.” Judge James E. Boasberg, of the U.S. District Court for D.C., ordered the Trump Administration to have the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the United States. However, due to the late timing of the order, the Trump Administration followed through with the deportation as planned. The administration contends the removals were lawful and within the established powers of the executive branch, specifically citing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. According to a new report from The Daily Wire, Judge Boasberg—an Obama appointee—has a history of halting President Trump’s immigration policies and also offered a lenient sentence with no jail time for an FBI official largely responsible for the Trump/Russia collusion hoax. 4:05pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles—citing their hatred for the CEO, and Trump Administration advisor, Elon Musk. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) told a crowd in Wisconsin that he enjoys watching Tesla’s stock go down. Rich notes that Republicans simply avoid buying Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, for example. However, no one is destroying their product or attacking consumers. 4:30pm- 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. 4:45pm- Rich notes of President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Education, this is a historical day—as the executive branch is relinquishing power and returning it back to the states. 4:50pm- While appearing on MSNBC, President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten reacted to news that the Trump Administration will dismantle the Department of Education: “I’m spitting mad about this!” 5:00pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles—citing their hatred for the CEO, and Trump Administration advisor, Elon Musk. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) told a crowd in Wisconsin that he enjoys watching Tesla’s stock go down. During a recent monologue, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joked about crimes against Tesla vehicles and their owners. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said of the attacks: the Trump Administration “will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company.” Rich emphasizes overly violent acts used to effectuate political change is, by definition, terrorism. 5:20pm- While appearing on The Vince Coglianese Show, Vice Pre ...
