Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Reciprocal Tariffs: While speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon stated that the business community “understands” the motivation behind President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs. While appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphatically stated there will be “no recession in America” despite the Trump Administration’s use of tariffs. Lutnick explained the tariffs are meant to level the playing field and will eventually go away once other nation’s embrace free and fair trade. JP Morgan has raised the recession odds to 40%. 6:10pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump met with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte in the White House. The two discussed numerous issues—including negotiating a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, China’s global predations, and reciprocal tariffs. 6:25pm- According to research from the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, former President Joe Biden signed dozens of executive orders with an “autopen”—raising questions about the legitimacy of those actions. Did Biden know what he was signing? Earlier this year, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed that during a closed-door meeting Biden had no recollection of signing an executive order that effectively froze new liquid natural gas export permits. 6:40pm- Last month, while speaking with the press on Air Force One, President Donald Trump mentioned that his administration is considering sending America’s 79 million taxpayers a “20% dividend…for the money that we are saving by going after waste and fraud and abuse.” The one-time payments could be as much as $5,000 per taxpayer. Will it happen?

1:33.4	He doesn't want to go out as being an unpopular president.
