Ep. 33 | Trump's Border Success and Economic Gambles Define Administration's Breakneck First 100 Days


Listen Later

Welcome to Rivera and Reeves, where we're breaking down Trump's first 100 days without the media spin! Meseidy and Rachel dive into the breakneck pace of the new administration - from the immigration crackdown that has border crossings down 99% to the economy's wild ride with "Liberation Day" tariffs. We're tackling the Doge restructuring chaos, analyzing how Democrats are losing their minds with their "dictator" narrative, and questioning why Trump keeps sitting down with media outlets that hate him.

Pull up a chair and join us as we wade through the spin, because the media is trash and we have zero patience for their nonsense!


Episode Highlights:


Border Enforcement Success - Tom Holman delivered a fire press conference highlighting the 99% decline in illegal border crossings while the media desperately tries to spin deportations as heartless.

Economy's Mixed Signals - Despite $3 trillion in new investments and commitments from major companies, the "Liberation Day" tariff rollout was sloppy and is causing pain for small businesses dependent on imports.

Government Restructuring Drama - Doge uncovered millions in wasted government subscriptions and identified serious problems with outdated systems, but Elon's eccentric style created optics issues.

Media Manipulation Games - CNN blurred the faces of criminal deportees shown on White House lawn signs while pushing misleading headlines about deported "2-year-old Americans."

• Democrats Going Full Apocalyptic - Governor Pritzker called for "mass protests," saying "Republicans cannot know a moment of peace," while others are making Civil War comparisons, signaling their desperate messaging strategy.
