Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- According to reports, The Atlantic’s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat with Trump Administration officials discussing planned military strikes against Houthi fighters in Yemen. Spokesman for the White House National Security Council Brian Hughes said the messages Goldberg received appear to be “authentic.” In Goldberg’s report, he noted that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz was responsible for the mistake and that he may have also violated a federal records law—as Waltz set some of the messages exchanged on Signal to auto-delete after one week. While speaking with the press from the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump defended Waltz and suggested he doubts his cabinet officials will rely on Signal for group discussions moving forward. 6:15pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order placing a 25% tariff on imported cars. The tariffs will go into effect on April 2nd. According to The New York Times, 1 million—of the 2.3 million—Toyotas sold in the United States last year were manufactured overseas. 6:20pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles out of disdain for the auto manufacturer’s CEO Elon Musk—who heads the Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency. Tom Elliot and Grabien have pieced together an incredible montage of media members and Democrats condoning vandalism and, in some cases, violence against Tesla. 6:40pm- On Wednesday, NPR and PBS executives testified before the DOGE subcommittee on overtly political content being funded by taxpayers. During one exchange with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), President and CEO of National Public Radio Katherine Maher conceded that they made a mistake by not covering the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 presidential election.
