The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Does the Democrat Party of today represent anything that Americans want? Even Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) noted that his party acted abhorrently during the president's address to Congress on Tuesday night—even calling out their strange actions and behaviors in the days that followed. In a post to social media, Sen. Fetterman wrote: “snub a 13-year-old cancer survivor…bizarre ‘pick you fighter' videos. Hold our beer: Government Shutdown!”—openly mocking his party's Trump “resistance” attempts. But Rich wonders, if Fetterman is so ashamed of Democrat behavior, why doesn't he leave the party? 4:30pm- During a “Stand Up for Science” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins sang (very, very poorly) in protest of the Trump Administration's cuts to government spending. Who sang it better: Kermit the Frog or Francis Collins? 4:55pm- What's the greatest James Bond song of all time? And which 007 movie has a movie title we aren't allowed to say on air?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/07/2025): 3:05pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump noted that in 2024 “the Biden Administration saw a loss of more than 110k manufacturing jobs.” However, Trump declared that after just one full month in office, his administration “stopped the manufacturing collapse” and has achieved “major gains.” 3:10pm- According to a recent court filing, Hunter Biden revealed that over the past several years he has sold 27 paintings for an average price of $54,000—but recently he has only sold one piece of art for just $36,000. Hmm. I wonder what changed? This certainly couldn't have anything to do with his father, former President Joe Biden, leaving office…right? 3:20pm- While taking questions from the press, President Donald Trump said of Ukraine: “we are trying to help them” but that they need to be more receptive to ending the war with Russia. Adding, “I am finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine.” 3:30pm- After interrupting President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night and ultimately being removed, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) continues to suggest he will bring articles of impeachment against the president. In honor of the stupidity, Rich plays a flashback—when Rep. Green spoke from the floor of the House and declared that President Trump is guilty of “dastardly deeds.” 4:00pm- Does the Democrat Party of today represent anything that Americans want? Even Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) noted that his party acted abhorrently during the president's address to Congress on Tuesday night—even calling out their strange actions and behaviors in the days that followed.

And which 007 movie has a movie title we aren't allowed to say on air? 5:00pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump Administration's continued efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Plus, in a preview of an interview to air this weekend, President Donald Trump insists that Iran must make a nuclear deal with the United States in order to avoid military action. She's the author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win” which features a forward from Senator Ted Cruz. 5:20pm- Authorities have determined Oscar winning actor Gene Hackman's cause of death—hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with Alzheimer's as a significant contributing factor. His wife died one week earlier. 5:30pm- The show goes completely off the rails…Democrats sing on the House floor. PLUS, far-left weirdos sing at the “Stand for Up for Science” rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. 5:40pm- Democrats post an incredibly cringey “choose your fighter” video featuring Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Lauren Underwood, Katherine Clark, Susie Lee, Jasmine Crockett, and Judy Chu. While on Fox News, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he hopes Democrats “continue to do that”—as there is no way everyday Americans like these types of antics. 5:50pm- During a Zoom meeting, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) abhorrently suggested the Trump Administration is trying to bring back slavery. 6:05pm- From the Oval Office, Pres ...

The amount of U.S. spending on healthcare reached four and a half trillion dollars in 2022, or about $14,000 per person. Despite such massive spending, many aspects of American healthcare are marred by problems. There's the shortage of primary care doctors. An emphasis on treating disease rather than promoting long-term health. Locally, doctors can make more in neighboring Massachusetts and Connecticut than they can in Rhode Island. And the state's hospitals are overly dependent on Medicare and Medicaid, rather than the more lucrative reimbursement paid by private insurers. This adds up to a series of complicated challenges, if not a worsening crisis. State government has started making some efforts to respond, but these remain at an early stage. So what will it take to put healthcare in Rhode Island on a better footing? Does the state have too many hospitals? And is it possible to create a system more responsive to everyday people than insurance companies and healthcare executives? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in-depth with author, community activist and former state Health Director Dr. Michael Fine.

Health officials announced there are now 33 confirmed cases of monkeypox in Mecklenburg County, nearly doubling last week's case count of 18. During a news conference Monday, county health leaders said the Mecklenburg County Health Department will receive an extra 2,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine. There are approximately 1,800 people on the waiting list to be vaccinated. Monday's update also revealed there has been local transmission of monkeypox in Mecklenburg County. Health Director Dr. Raynard Washington said there previously was no evidence of local spread in the county. Washington said Mecklenburg is seeing the doubling of monkeypox cases every three to four days. The health department is working "with urgency" to stem this trend with vaccines and education.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/monkeypox-mecklenburg-county-case-update-vaccine-waiting-list-public-health-department/275-03331034-47b8-4f16-b075-3d14d401cb43The Clover School District Board of Trustees held a special meeting Monday to vote on a bond resolution for the November ballot, ultimately giving the green light to a $156 million bond referendum. This comes after voters failed to pass last year's proposed $196 million bond request. The district met up weeks ago to build consensus around the resolution, with some board members expressing interest in constructing a new high school.  READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/education/clover-school-meeting-bond-nov-ballot/275-3ae3bdf5-2dae-4203-8ec5-be03f53141e9Plus, What is the best part of your morning routine?

We sit down with outgoing D.C. Health Director Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt who saw the District through nearly 8 years, and navigated the city through the pandemic. A day after the city announced her departure, Nesbitt tells us what it was like as a health director in the midst of a health emergency. And buying weed legally in D.C. is a complex process, but it just got a little easier after Mayor Muriel Bowser signed a law letting most adults self-prescribe medical marijuana cards. We talk to one of the District Council members who introduced the law, Kenyan McDuffie about the reason it was treated as emergency legislation and why he's running again after losing the legal fight to run for D.C. Attorney General.

Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island native, Earle Audet was an American football offensive tackle in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins, as well as the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Football Conference. He played college football at the University of Southern California, and was drafted in the third round of the 1944 NFL Draft. Now, for our feature story: Gov. Dan McKee as well as top state public health and education officials are urging eligible Rhode Island schoolchildren to get vaccinated against the coronavirus before the start of the school year. The state Department of Health in conjunction with the Department of Education and community partners have coordinated more than 100 back-to-school and community-based COVID-19 clinics through mid-September, the Democratic governor said in a statement Tuesday. Youth as young as age 12 are eligible to receive the Pfizer shot. Department of Health Director Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott said in a statement. “Getting vaccinated and making sure that the eligible children, young adults, and adults in your life are vaccinated too is the single best thing you can do right now to protect yourself and your family from the delta variant, the more contagious strain of COVID-19,”  The more Rhode Island students who get vaccinated, the healthier Rhode Island will be and the fewer disruptions to in-person learning students and teachers will experience, officials said.

She was born in Daytona Beach, Florida and was the loving wife of Bob. They were married for 60 years. Nirene, or "Nene" as she was called by her family, lived a long, full life filled with family and friends. She grew up in Maine and Massachusetts, and attended boarding school in New Hampshire. As a young girl she competed in horse shows with her beloved American quarter horse Dixie Lee and won several championships. While a student at Endicott College, she and her friends were shopping in Boston when they met a group of young naval officers on a street corner. One of them was Bob Stewart, a student at Harvard Business School and a lieutenant JG in the Navy. They were married two years later. The Navy, and then Bob's career, would take them all over the country, from Washington, D.C., to Hawaii, Michigan and Texas. They would ultimately split their retirement between Boynton Beach, Florida, and Westerly. Nirene was happiest when surrounded by her husband, children and grandchildren. She is survived by her daughter, her husband, her daughter-in-law, five grandchildren and her great grandchild. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Nene's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more! Also, remember to check out our sponsor Perennial, Daily Gut & Brain, available at the CVS on Main St. in Wakefield!

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he's hopeful the Food and Drug Administration will give full approval to the coronavirus vaccine by the end of August and predicted the potential move will spur a wave of vaccine mandates in the private sector as well as schools and universities.  The FDA has only granted emergency-use approval of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, but the agency is expected to soon give full approval to Pfizer.  That approval will hopefully encourage more unvaccinated Americans to get their shots as the delta variant continues to surge through much of the United States -- with many of the infected being children.  One example: children with COVID-19 used to make up 1% of patients hospitalized at Children's Hospital New Orleans. Now they account for about 20%, according to Dr. Mark Kline, physician-in-chief at Children's Hospital New Orleans.  He said about half of the children hospitalized are under 2 years old. Most of the others are between 5 and 10 years old, so too young to be vaccinated.   And National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins expanded on that with ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos this weekend saying: "We know that kids under 12 are likely to get infected and if we don't have masks in schools, this virus will spread more widely" putting kids right back into the remote learning they were in when the pandemic first began.  Back-to-school season has already begun.

COVID-19 hospitalizations are up over 40%, overwhelming health care workers in the hardest hit states as the Delta variant sweeps through the U.S. National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins joined George to discuss the Delta variant, mask mandates, and vaccination rates picking as more than 50% of Americans are now fully vaccinated; American troops have begun returning home from Afghanistan, but questions remain if Afghans who aided the U.S. in it's longest war, can be saved with the Taliban sweeping through the country. George interviewed Ryan Crocker, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan during the war, and Janis Shinwari, a former Afghan interpreter for the U.S. military, to find out more; Record heatwaves and severe droughts rage on the west coast and abroad in Greece, Turkey, and Russia. Professor Michael Mann and Climate Scientist Kristina Dahl joined George to discuss what's causing these wildfires, and what can be done; Plus the Power House Roundtable discuss the latest on the infrastructure deal and the New York attorney general's report into allegations of sexual harassment by Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Hawaii recorded more than 100 “breakthrough cases” of people who contracted COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, but the cases represent less than 1% of the total number of residents who have been vaccinated, Hawaii Department of Health Director Dr. Libby Char said today on Spotlight Hawaii. Char said that the vaccine is very effective and the best way to prevent illness and death from the coronavirus. Char said that there have been a high number of positive cases among people who have received just a single dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, both of which require two doses separated weeks apart. There have been so many instances that DOH has stopped counting them, she said. She urged the public to complete both doses of the vaccine and take to advantage of the wide availability of the vaccine throughout the community.

Dr. David Damsker, Director of the Bucks County Department of Health, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the new guidelines regarding masks set forth by the CDC. Late last week, the CDC announced that those who have received the Coronavirus vaccine could remove their masks both outdoors and indoors going forward. Damsker gives his thoughts on the situation, explaining why he does agree that it is indeed safe for vaccinated individuals to remove their masks. Also, Giordano asks Damsker what his advisement would be for whether or not children should be vaccinated, as the push begins to strengthen for children as young as two to receive the vaccination.

For Americans vaccinated against Covid-19, daily life may look increasingly different than for those who aren't inoculated yet following Thursday's mask guidance, experts said."We are on the right path (for) people who are fully immunized," National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins told CNN. "You can take your mask off indoors as well as outdoors."But he added: "We are not at the end of this story. There are still a lot of people who haven't gotten that shot."The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 -- meaning those who have waited two weeks after their final dose -- generally don't need to wear masks or practice social distancing indoors or outdoors.The CDC arrived at its new guidance because of declining case rates, increasing numbers of vaccinations and growing understanding of the risk of viral spread by vaccinated people, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told CBS on Friday."In the last two weeks, our cases have come down by a third," she said. "We have a rapidly declining case right probably because our vaccination rate is going up."Over the last several weeks, we have seen emerging signs that if you were vaccinated, you're safe and protected from getting Covid-19 and you really have a very low risk of transmitting to other people and that these vaccines are really working against the variants that we have circulating here in the United States," she said.For those who experienced no immediate impact from receiving their vaccine, "now your life is going to change," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, adding that although some businesses, like airlines, may keep mask mandates in place, venues like grocery stores, restaurants, bars and bowling alleys may soon look much more like they did pre-pandemic.The CDC's decision may have the indirect effect of being an incentive for people who are on the fence about getting the vaccine, but it was based on the science showing how strong vaccine protection is, Fauci said.But as a sense of normalcy resumes for those who are protected, experts warn that the risk of infection may grow for those who are not vaccinated."We keep thinking of this country as a vaccinated and an unvaccinated country," CNN medical analyst Sanjay Gupta said. "What it's slowly going to turn into is a vaccinated and an infected country."And without a way to verify who is vaccinated and who is not, the guidance may inhibit the US from reaching herd immunity and put those who cannot yet be vaccinated or are immuno-compromised in more danger, said CNN medical analyst Leana Wen."They were overly cautious and now I think they are throwing caution to the wind," Wen said of the CDC's guidelines.People should defer to local rules on mask-wearing, Walensky told NBC on Friday."We really do need to understand that this country is not uniform. There are places in this country that still have higher rates of disease. There are places in this country that still have lower rates of vaccination," she said."People need to look into their local environment because, ultimately, we know that this virus is an opportunist, and where there are low rates of vaccination, it will emerge again," Walensky said. "We really need to make sure that we get people vaccinated, and we still continue to take precautions if people are not vaccinated."Masks may stay on for someThose who are not vaccinated are threatening their own health if they go out in public and forego the social-distancing and mask usage guidance, experts said.And people who have compromised immune systems from situations like chemotherapy and organ transplants may not have a sufficient immune response to safely remove their masks in public, Wen said.Although studies are ongoing for younger children, vaccines have only been approved for children as young as 12. So, those who are not yet old enough to get their doses still need to wear their masks indoors and around others, Fauci said....

National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins described the Food and Drug Administration’s emergency use authorization of Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid vaccine for kids aged 12 to 15 as “a big deal” in America’s push to reopen.
