Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Thursday, from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order placing “reciprocal tariffs” on trading partners who currently place tariffs, taxes, and fees on American imports. The Trump Administration has argued that the reciprocal tariffs are designed to persuade trade partners to drop trade importation penalties on American-made goods—ultimately resulting in truly fair and free trade agreements. 4:15pm- After a lengthy conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, President Donald Trump expressed optimism that the war in Ukraine may soon be coming to an end. While speaking from the Oval Office, Trump told reporters he plans on meeting with Putin in Saudi Arabia to finalize a deal. 4:20pm- On Wednesday, independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, Rupa Subramanya testified before the House Judiciary Committee. While being questioned by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) Shellenberger accused USAID—and other elements of the federal government—of engaging in nefarious “information operations” and manipulating publications like the Guardian and New York Times. 4:30pm- BREAKING NEWS: Hamas announces it will release all remaining Israeli hostages by Saturday at noon. President Donald Trump had vowed that “all hell” would break loose if the hostages weren’t returned by that deadline. 4:35pm- Jacqueline Tobacco—Creative Director & Producer for 43 Oak—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her tireless fight for parental rights in New Jersey and reacts to Robert Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

0:00.0	The Rich Zioly Show podcast is sponsored by Mike Vaneria Jr. with Osparity Private Wealth.
0:05.4	Hi, I'm Mike Vaneria Jr., wealth management specialists. Make your retirement dreams a reality by creating your retirement plan today. Call me at 856-252-0107.
0:15.9	President Trump is speaking again in the Oval Office right now, signing executive orders.
0:22.5	So it looks like it's going to be one of those days, and I don't want to be rude since he's
0:26.2	invited me to come to the White House on Wednesday.
0:29.1	So let's dip in here and find out what he has to say right now on these executive orders.
0:34.5	They just won't let us even operate there.
0:37.4	They charge us a lot, but they
0:39.3	won't even let us go in. And we have many of that. And what our Secretary of Commerce
0:46.5	standing right behind me, Howard Lutnik, what he's going to be doing is he's going to come up
0:53.0	with a number that's an equivalent number to that.
0:56.0	But in many countries, not too many, but quite a few, they don't let us do business.
1:01.0	They effectively don't let us do business.

1:28.2	we're going to pay the same thing. There is no tariff. So if they have a tariff and then they
1:34.0	complain that this is too high, all they have to do is reduce their tariff or not charge it.
1:39.3	I think there'll be certain countries that's already happened. I believe I heard that the EU today or yesterday
1:46.8	lowered the tariff on their cars to 2.5% because that's what we charge and they lowered
1:53.4	it from 10% but it was really much higher than 10% but 10% to 2.5 that's already happened
