The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (06/06/2025): 3:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump welcomed German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to the White House. While taking questions from the press, Trump was asked about Elon Musk's public criticisms of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Trump accused Musk of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome”—explaining: “He's not the first. People leave my administration and they love us and then, at some point, they miss it so badly. Some of them embrace it and some of them actually become hostile.” Musk responded in a series of vitriolic social media posts which included suggestions of impeachment, the threat of creating a new political party, and accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files. 3:20pm- While publicly feuding with President Trump over the proposed Republican tax and budget bill, Elon Musk posted to X: “Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Rich notes that prior to this specific post, reconciliation between the two billionaires was still possible. But with these explosive allegations, any chance of friendship is now likely off the table. 3:40pm- Remembering D-Day, June 6th, 1944: On Friday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth commemorated the 81st anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Normandy, France. While speaking from the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, Hegseth proclaimed: “Hitler thought his Atlantic wall was impenetrable. He clearly had not met enough Americans.” 4:05pm- During a press conference on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the United States from El Salvador and will now face federal criminal charges: conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal aliens for financial gain and unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain. 4:15pm- In recently released audio, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's wife can be heard providing an explanation for the second protective order she filed against him in 2020. In the one-minute clip, Jennifer Vasquez claims that Abrego Garcia physically abused her on several occasions and even threatened to kill her. Video of a traffic stop has also been made public which may show Abrego Garcia involved in human trafficking. According to Fox News, the Biden Administration's FBI decided not to investigate—and he was immediately released by police. Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, had been residing in the United States illegally before being deported by the Trump Administration. 4:30pm- 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 news of the day and commemorate the 81st anniversary of D-Day. Earlier today, Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) remembered U.S. Army Captain Howard Allan Downey, Dr. Coates's grandfather, on the floor of the U.S. Capitol by reading a letter he wrote describing his experience during the Normandy invasion. Dr. Coates is author of the book, “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” You can find it here: https://a.co/d/iTMA4Vb. 5:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump welcomed German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to the White House.

While speaking from the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, Hegseth proclaimed: “Hitler thought his Atlantic wall was impenetrable. He clearly had not met enough Americans.” 6:30pm- On the 40th anniversary of D-Day, President Ronald Reagan delivered one of his most famous speeches at the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, France—the site where U.S. soldiers scaled 100-foot cliffs while being constantly exposed to heavy Nazi gunfire. Their objective: neutralize artillery threatening Allied landings at Omaha and Utah beaches. Surrounded by World War II veterans, Reagan famously stated: “These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs...You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet you risked everything here.”

That Dwight D. Eisenhower became Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, orchestrating the largest amphibious invasion in history on June 6, 1944, was far from inevitable.He came from the middle of nowhere — Abilene, Kansas — had never led men in battle, spent most of his career as a staff officer, and didn't make general until he was in his fifties.How, then, did he become the leader on whom the fate of the world would rest?Today, we trace the making of Ike with Michel Paradis, author of The Light of Battle. We talk about how Eisenhower's Midwestern upbringing shaped his character, and how his most important education happened outside the classroom. Michel shares how crucial mentors were in Ike's development, and how Eisenhower made the most of those relationships. We discuss the books that were most formative in shaping his thinking, including what he got from Nietzsche. We also get into some of the practices Eisenhower used to lead effectively, including how he budgeted his time to maintain his morale while under the pressure of planning D-Day and what he did the evening before the invasion to deal with the stress.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #641: How Eisenhower Led — A Conversation with Ike's GranddaughterAoM series on Eisenhower's leadershipAoM Podcast #996: Remembering D-Day 80 Years LaterThe Line Man's Bible: A Football Textbook of Detailed Instruction by Ernest Graves.Sunday Firesides: You Never Know How Many Chapters Are Still to ComeFox ConnerThe Czar of Halfaday Creek by James B.

On D-Day, June 6, 1944, 160,000 troops participated in the invasion of Normandy. Today just a few thousand of these veterans are still alive, with the youngest in their late nineties. As their voices, and those of the million combatants and leaders who swept into motion across Europe 80 years ago, fall silent and pass from living history, Garrett Graff has captured and compiled them in a new book: When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day.Drawing on his project of sifting through and synthesizing 5,000 oral histories, today Garrett takes us back to what was arguably the most consequential day in modern history and helps unpack the truly epic sweep of the operation, which was hard to fathom even then, and has become even more difficult to grasp with the passage of time. We talk about how unbelievably involved the planning process for D-Day was, stories you may never have heard before, a couple of the myths around D-Day, and the sacrificial heroism born of this event that continues to live on.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast Episode #1: We Who Are Alive and RemainAoM Article: The 70th Anniversary of D-Day — Remembrances from the Brave Men Who Were ThereAoM Podcast #514: Remembering D-Day 75 Years LaterThe Bedford Boys: One American Town's Ultimate D-day Sacrifice by Alex KershawAoM Article: How Eisenhwoer Made the D-Day DecisionThe Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 by Garrett M.

General George S. Patton is known for his aggressive, action-oriented tactical brilliance.His character was also marked by a lesser-known but equally fundamental mystic piety.Those two qualities would come together in the lead up to and execution of Patton's greatest achievement during WWII: the relief of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.Alex Kershaw tells this story in his new book Patton's Prayer: A True Story of Courage, Faith, and Victory in World War II. Today on the show, Alex shares how, when the Third Army's advance into Germany was stalled by plane-grounding clouds and road-muddying rain, Patton commissioned a prayer for better weather that was distributed to a quarter million of his men, and how that prayer became even more urgent after the commencement of the Battle of the Bulge. We also talk about Patton's qualities as a leader and a man, including his reading habits, how he combined a profane assertiveness with a pious faith and a belief in reincarnation, and what happened to him as the war came to a close.Resources Related to the PodcastAlex's previous appearances on the AoM Podcast:#361: The Untold Story of WWII's 45th Infantry Division#514: Remembering D-Day 75 Years Later#806: The Humble Heroics of Four of WWII's Most Decorated Soldiers#953: Duty, Honor, and the Unlikely Heroes Who Helped Win the Battle of the BulgeAoM Article: George S.

The Battle of the Bulge commenced on the morning of December 16, 1944. The Allies were ill-prepared for this last, desperate offensive from the Germans, and the campaign might have succeeded if a few things hadn't gotten in their way, including a single, green, 18-man platoon who refused to give up their ground to the Nazis.Alex Kershaw shares the story of these men in his book, The Longest Winter, and with us today on the show. He first explains the background of the Battle of the Bulge and how an Intelligence and Reconnaissance unit that had never seen combat ended up in the thick of it. And he describes the platoon's 20-year-old leader, Lyle Bouk, who was determined to carry out his orders and hold their position despite being massively outmanned and outgunned, and how his men fought until they were down to their last rounds. Alex then shares how what Bouk thought was a total failure — being captured as POWs after just a day of combat — turned out to have been an effort that significantly influenced the outcome of the Battle of the Bulge, and how an unlikely platoon of heroes who initially went unrecognized for their valor became the most decorated American platoon of WWII. You'll find such an inspiring lesson in this show about living up to your duty and holding the line.Resources Related to the PodcastAlex's previous appearances on the AoM Podcast:#361: The Untold Story of WWII's 45th Infantry Division#514: Remembering D-Day 75 Years Later#806: The Humble Heroics of Four of WWII's Most Decorated SoldiersThe Bedord Boys by Alex Kershaw The Bitter Woods: The Battle of the Bulge by John S.D.
