We are now 3.5 years into the war between Russia and Ukraine...Thanks to President Trump's efforts, we finally have movement after years of deadly gridlock." 5:15pm- In a post to X, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote: “Over the past few months, I’ve been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside the president and vice president, to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected. As a result, the UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘back door’ that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.” 5:20pm- Andrew asks if he can place an order for takeout pizza from Rich’s at-home pizza oven.

And I've lived with that for a long time." 3:45pm- While taking questions from the press, President Trump was asked if American troops would be used to guarantee/enforce any hypothetical peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

I want them all to be successful." 4:15pm- Nearly a decade later, Hillary Clinton still thinks the results of the 2016 presidential election may not be legitimate—noting, it’s “why we still litigate the election.” Who the heck is still “litigating” the 2016 election (aside from her)? 4:20pm- Following Friday’s summit in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted that he would not have invaded Ukraine in 2022 had Donald Trump been president of the United States instead of Joe Biden. 4:30pm- In a post to social media, Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity announced she will run for Governor of Pennsylvania—challenging incumbent Josh Shapiro.

He’s even in a Taylor Swift fan group text! 5:40pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his call for the “Trump administration to investigate what it suspects is a coordinated ‘national lawfare campaign’ by left-wing climate activists aimed at influencing thousands of judges on how to approach climate litigation.” 6:05pm- Prior to Monday’s multilateral meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic telling Emmanuel Macron: “I think [Vladimir Putin] wants to make a deal for me, you understand that?

During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America. Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine. At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself. Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!” 6:40pm- Appearing on NBC News, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia during the Obama Administration Michael McFaul praised Donald Trump for his efforts to negotiate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

Show notes

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (08/14/2025): 3:05pm- Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced a 30-day federal takeover of Washington D.C.’s police department—while simultaneously deploying 800 National Guard troops—to fight violent crime in the nation’s capital. At the White House press briefing, Trump announced Attorney General Pam Bondi will oversee the federal takeover—while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will provide military support “if needed.” Additionally, the administration will assign 120 F.B.I. agents to conduct nighttime patrols throughout Washington D.C. While progressive politicians have attacked the Trump Administration over the decision, even MSNBC is now conceding that there is a serious crime problem that needs to be addressed. Has President Trump forced progressives into defending crime? 3:30pm- It’s Justin’s birthday today! 3:35pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security where he addressed erroneous claims made by Senator Elizabeth Warren that the administration is destroying Social Security—“she’s a mean, horrible human being” and has a history of lying. 3:40pm- While speaking with the press, President Donald Trump said that if Friday’s meeting with Vladimir Putin does not go well and there is no clear sign of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, Russia will face “very severe consequences” in the form of onerous sanctions. 3:50pm- Rich is scheduled to be on Fox News immediately after tomorrow’s show in Cape May. Matt is helping out by crafting talking points—so, does that mean Justin has to do Rich’s makeup? Plus, what’s Rich’s latest medical ailment? You’ll never guess! 4:05pm- Is “woke” permanently dead? Don’t count it. Conservatives may have won the battle over Sydney Sweeny’s jeans—but progressives will almost certainly rally around another social justice issue in the future. 4:15pm- While speaking with podcaster Aaron Parnas, Sen. Chuck Schumer insisted that crime is not a problem in Washington D.C.: “I walk around D.C. all the time…I feel perfectly safe.” But not everyone has bodyguards and a fleet of armed vehicles following them like the Senate Minority Leader! 4:35pm- Brooke Singman—Political Correspondent & Reporter for Fox News—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest report: “Clapper allegedly pushed to 'compromise' 'normal' steps to rush 2017 ICA, despite concerns from NSA director.” She writes: “Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly directed officials to ‘compromise’ ‘normal’ procedures to rush a politicized 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment—despite concerns from then-Director of the National Security Agency Mike Rogers, who allegedly said his team did not have ‘enough time’ to review the intelligence to be ‘absolutely confident’ that Russia was involved in the 2016 election.” You can read the full article here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/clapper-pushed-compromise-normal-steps-rush-2017-ica-despite-concerns-from-nsa-director. 5:05pm- George Bochetto—Former candidate for U.S. Senate, former Pennsylvania State Boxing Commissioner, and Attorney at Bochetto & Lentz, P.C.—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a statue of former Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo being returned the group that originally donated it following a ruling by the Philadelphia Art Commission. 5:25pm- First Lady Melania Trump is threatening to sue Hunter Biden for $1 billion over false claims regarding Jeffrey Epstein. 5:30pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview tomorrow’s meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. 6:05pm- While speaking with the press, President Donald Trump said that if Friday’s meeting with Vladimir Putin does not go well and there is no clear sign of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, Russia will face “very severe consequences” in the form of onerous sanctions. 6:30pm- Earlier this ...
