The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

4:05pm- While defending the Trump Administration’s tariff policy, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mentioned that Alexander Hamilton once used tariffs to raise revenue and protect domestic industries. Rich thinks the comparison to Hamilton is a bit far-reaching—however, people claiming tariffs will lead to a modern “Great Depression” are also mistaken. Don’t expect these tariffs to be around long enough to create economic devastation—they’re a negotiating tactic.

4:30pm- Amie Parnes—Senior Political Correspondent at The Hill & New York Times Best Selling Author—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her newly released book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.” In the book, Parnes documents how aides to Kamala Harris were plotting behind the scenes to replace Joe Biden as the 2024 Democrat candidate even before he withdrew. Parnes notes that people close to Biden knew he had lost a step, but they didn’t believe his disastrous June debate with Donald Trump would go as poorly as it ultimately did. Plus, Parnes reports Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi were advocating for a strategy to bypass Harris as the nominee—while Harris’s proponents half-jokingly suggested, “at least she has a pulse.” Harris’s team even had judges ready to swear her into office in the event President Biden died or resigned. And how did Harris ultimately decide to select Tim Walz as her running mate over Josh Shapiro?
