Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer met with China’s Vice Premier for Economic Policy He Lifeng in Geneva, Switzerland. By the meeting’s conclusion, an agreement was reached to pause onerous tariffs between the world’s two largest economies for 90-days. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will be reduced from 145% to 30%, while China’s tariffs on American imports will go from 125% to 10%. While speaking from the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump said, “we achieved a total reset with China” and that his administration’s negotiators will continue to seek remedies for China’s unfair trade policies—which have included currency manipulation, unbalanced trade, and intellectual property theft. 3:15pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Rich notes that because of the enormous sum of “earned media” surrounding the confrontation, Baraka—a candidate for New Jersey governor—might have a real chance to win the Democratic Party’s primary next month. 3:40pm- According to a report from Politico, internal polling suggests that Senator John Fetterman’s (D-PA) support with Pennsylvania-based Democrats has faded—with only 46% having a “favorable” opinion of him currently.
