Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Wednesday, from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at reviving domestic shipbuilding and reversing onerous regulations adopted during the Biden Administration—explicitly mentioning burdensome regulations that limit water pressure. Trump joked that he needs adequate water pressure to properly maintain his “beautiful hair.” While speaking with the press, Trump also called out Harvard University for admitting students who aren’t competent in mathematics. According to reports, Harvard is now offering freshmen the opportunity to enroll in a remedial math course—as many incoming students don’t have the math skills necessary to excel at the Ivy League school. 4:30pm- Michael Whatley—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to react to President Donald Trump’s announced 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs and the decision to place a tariff of 125% on Chinese goods. He explains: “For too long we had politicians in America that just rolled over and let China put these policies in place without any response.” Plus, Chairman Whatley discusses election integrity lawsuits still unfolding in Pennsylvania—pointing out that PA will undoubtedly be a crucial state in future elections. Weekday afternoons on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Rich Zeoli gives the expert analysis and humorous take that we need in this crazy political climate. Along with Executive Producer Matt DeSantis and Justin Otero, the Zeoli show is the next generation of talk radio and you can be a part of it weekday afternoons 3-7pm.

0:19.9	And the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up, the NASDAQ's up, the S&P's up, and the bond market is safe and secure again because people were dumping our treasury bonds, which is what was really at the heart of the panic that the president was referring to earlier when he spoke at the White House with the

1:40.5	significant policy steps, all aimed at restoring American maritime dominance and ensuring that
1:46.2	we have the shipbuilding capacity and ability to compete globally, both militarily, and in the
1:51.3	civilian space as well. And that could be a good one for Michigan, too, because we're going
