The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

5:00pm- While appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphatically stated there will be “no recession in America” despite the Trump Administration’s use of tariffs. Lutnick explained the tariffs are meant to level the playing field and will eventually go away once other nation’s embrace free and fair trade. JP Morgan has raised the recession odds to 40%.

5:15pm- Sad Bernie Sanders + Does the Democrat Party of today represent anything that Americans want?

5:30pm- Congressman Scott Perry—Representative for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through September. The CR will now head to the Senate, which will require the support of several Democrats to overcome a 60-vote filibuster threshold. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), however, told reporters that Democrats will refuse to support the CR. Are we on the verge of a government shutdown simply because Democrats hate President Donald Trump? Perry notes, if there is a shutdown, Trump is “going to determine who is actually essential and who is not” which might make slashing government waste even easier. Plus, Congressman Perry addresses revelations that former President Joe Biden and his administration used “autopen” to sign numerous executive orders—raising questions about the legitimacy of those actions.
