The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
3:05pm- While appearing on Fox News Tuesday night, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that he will be meeting with Chinese officials in Switzerland this weekend to negotiate a new trade agreement. Last month, in response to China’s predatory trade practices, President Donald Trump placed 145% tariffs on all Chinese imports. Meanwhile, China has suspended the exportation of rare earth minerals and rare earth magnets—two components critical to modern technology.
3:15pm- Former President Joe Biden sat down for an interview with BBC and was asked if he should have left the 2024 presidential race sooner—providing Kamala Harris additional time to campaign as the nominee. He explained: “I don’t think it would have mattered.”
3:30pm- According to New York Magazine’s Intelligencer, staffers for Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) are voicing concerns about the state of his mental health. But are these stories being printed because Fetterman has vocally opposed the far-left recently? While speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill, Fetterman called the article a “hit piece” and noted that it only has one source.
3:50pm- In recently released audio, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife can be heard providing an explanation for the second protective order she filed against him in 2020. In the one-minute clip, Jennifer Vasquez claims that Abrego Garcia physically abused her on several occasions and even threatened to kill her. Video of a traffic stop has also been made public which may show Abrego Garcia involved in human trafficking. According to Fox News, the Biden Administration’s FBI decided not to investigate—and he was immediately released by police. The Trump Administration deported Abrego Garcia, who was living in the U.S. illegally, to El Salvador—where he is a citizen. Are Democrats finally done defending Abrego Garcia?
