The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:

4:05pm- President Donald Trump, speaking from the Rose Garden, announced “Liberation Day” and pledged to “make America wealthy again”—explaining that for decades the United States economy has been punished by onerous tariffs placed on American-made goods being exported internationally. Trump signed an executive order which would place “reciprocal tariffs” on foreign nations and will serve as America’s “Declaration of Economic Independence.” The tariffs will take effect at midnight on April 5th. The reciprocal tariffs will be half of what trading partners are currently charging the U.S. An additional 10% universal baseline tariff will be applied to all countries considered to be acting in bad faith. Will the Trump Administration remove tariffs on countries that remove tariffs on American-made goods? Trump stated: “To all foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors, and everyone else who will soon be calling to ask for exemptions to these tariffs, I say—terminate your own tariffs, drop your barriers, don't manipulate your currencies…and start buying tens of billions of dollars of American goods.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

3:05pm- At 4:00pm today, from the White House Rose Garden, President Donald Trump will hold a “Liberation Day” presentation where he will announce new, reciprocal tariffs on imported goods.

3:10pm- In their new book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” reporters Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen reveal that when Joe Biden made his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, Kamala Harris pleaded for an immediate endorsement. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi were fighting for an abbreviated primary—fearing that Harris was incapable of winning a presidential election. Parnes and Allen report that Obama’s ideal ticket would have featured Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Maryland Governor Wes Moore.

3:30pm- Hollywood actor Val Kilmer has died at the age of 65 from pneumonia. Kilmer starred in Tombstone, Batman Forever, The Doors, Top Gun, and most recently, in 2022, Top Gun: Maverick. Amazingly, Kilmer was never nominated for an Oscar—not even for his performance as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. Justin points out that Kilmer was nominated for an MTV Movie Award—but, somehow, he didn’t even win that despite the incredible performance!

3:50pm- On Monday night at 7:00pm ET, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) began a speech from the Senate floor to protest the Trump Administration and its policies—claiming the administration has “inflicted pain” and rejected “common decency.” The speech ended 25-hours later—breaking Strom Thurmond’s 24 hour and 18-minute record set while filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In preparation for the speech, the New York Times reports that Booker hadn’t eaten since Friday and hadn’t had anything to drink since Sunday—as he wasn’t permitted to leave the Senate floor to use the restroom during his speech. The Times also noted that Booker’s marathon speech actually delayed a planned vote on a Democrat-led bill reversing President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports.

3:05pm- On Monday night, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) began a filibuster to protest the Trump Administration and its policies—claiming the administration has “inflicted pain” and rejected “common decency.” Booker is now on his 20th hour of speaking from the Senate floor and has vowed to speak “for as long as I am physically able.” While filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957, then-Senator Strom Thurmond set the record for longest speech on the Senate floor at 24 hours and 18 minutes. Is this Booker’s way of keeping his name in the news so he can set himself up for yet another presidential run?

3:30pm- Senator Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his new bipartisan bill to “combat the scourge of fentanyl.” Sen. McCormick also talks about his efforts to place term limits on House and Senate members, President Donald Trump’s expected tariff adoption, and politicized district court judges doing their best to upend Trump Administration policies.

3:50pm- Approaching his 21st continuous hour of speaking from the Senate floor, Sen. Cory Booker conceded that “the Democratic Party has made mistakes.” Rich notes that Booker is not even filibustering a specific policy—he just doesn’t like the president and won’t stop talking about it.

4:00pm- On Monday night, The Atlantic published an article erroneously claiming the Trump Administration “mistakenly” deported a Maryland father to a terrorism confinement center in El Salvador. During Tuesday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the magazine’s story is not true and that the individual in question is, in fact, a member of the MS-13 gang—which has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Leavitt explained: "If you just saw the headline from…The Atlantic magazine this morning, you would think this individual was father of the year."

4:30pm- On Monday, the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets held a hearing on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—which included testimony from filmmaker Oliver Stone. Stone—the Director of the 1991 movie “JFK”—implored Congress to “reopen what the Warren Commission failed miserably to complete.”

4:50pm- At 4:00pm on Wednesday, President Donald Trump is expected to announce “reciprocal” tariffs on imports from foreign nations. What impact will this have on the American economy?

5:00pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Gavin Newsom’s appearance on Bill Maher where the California Governor continued to falsely portray himself as a political moderate despite historically embracing far-left policies. During the interview, Gov. Newsom refused to confirm his intent to run for president in 2028—but we all know he’s going to! Plus, Crabtree talks about a disturbing new report she broke indicating Secret Service failed to respond to insider threat complaints. You can find the book here: https://a.co/d/1g9qLKf.

6:05pm- Are Meta’s policies still favoring censorship? According to a new report from The Daily Caller, CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s pivot towards free speech and conservatism may not be as genuine as we had all hoped.

6:30pm- Richard Marianos—former Agent at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) & a lecturer at Georgetown University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss onerous taxes potentially being placed on vapes. Could heavy taxes lead to the creation of a black market?

6:40pm- According to Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, internal FBI chat logs indicate that officials within the department imposed a “gag order” on the New York Post’s story regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020.

5:40pm- On Tuesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on the “Censorship Industrial Complex”—where Nina Jankowicz, the former Executive Director of the Disinformation Governance Board, denied that the Biden Administration ever censored information on social media. However, as Rich notes, the issue is that government officials were actively pressuring companies to censor information regarding the Hunter Biden laptop and Covid-19—not that government itself was removing posts.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/31/2025):

3:05pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles out of disdain for CEO Elon Musk and his close affiliation with the Trump Administration. In Bucks County, Pennsylvania a man’s Tesla had a swastika carved into it while the vehicle sat in a Planet Fitness parking lot. Meanwhile, in Flagstaff, Arizona, a 61-year-old Tesla driver was cut off and ultimately assaulted by a motorist.

3:15pm- While speaking in Wisconsin, Elon Musk called out the “violence and hatred that is coming from the left”—exclaiming that progressive Democrats have “gone psycho.”

3:30pm- The left continually claims that the U.S. is heading towards a second Civil War—but don’t believe them. Rich notes the country may be divided philosophically, but the vast majority of Americans aren’t as angry as corporate media is making it seem. While the Civil War divided the country by geography, what would the line of delineation even be in modern America?

3:45pm- A man in Texas has been charged with ramming his ATV into a Tesla Cybertruck causing thousands of dollars in damage. Rich plays the video and can’t help but notice the man is quite rotund…Matt reveals that the gentleman is 5’2” and weighs 449 pounds, according to reports! Is it any surprise that the incident took place outside of a buffet?

4:05pm- Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas vowed to fight for trans athletes and challenge the Trump Administration’s policies preventing biological males from competing in women’s sports. Thomas, a biological male, made headlines after winning NCAA races in 2022 while competing in the women’s category.

4:15pm- While speaking with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, Bill Maher said he fears that despite recent election losses, the Democrat Party has not closed the door on “woke” politics.

4:30pm- Bill D’Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) clips from the Sunday shows. Plus, D’Agostino recaps NPR and PBS executives testifying before a DOGE House subcommittee on whether the federal government should continue to fund the two organizations.

5:00pm- While speaking with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, President Donald Trump was asked if he will run for a third term—Trump did not explicitly dismiss the possibility which has led corporate media to scream “dictator!” During the same conversation, Trump revealed that he is “pissed off” with Russian President Vladimir Putin over his seeming unwillingness to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine. Trump vowed to place onerous sanctions on Russian oil if progress isn’t being made soon.

5:20pm- White Lotus Season 3 aired its second to last episode last night…is it time to declare this season is a bust? Matt says he’s holding out hope it’ll have a great finale. But why is anyone taking television advice from him? Plus, Americans are staying away from movie theaters—is it because of increased competition from streaming platforms or is Hollywood simply creating a subpar product?

5:40pm- According to the transcript of Donald Trump’s phone conversation with NBC News, the president said of foreign auto manufacturers having to raise their prices as a result of his tariffs: “I couldn’t care less.” He explained: “I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty.”

6:00pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order preventing “exploitive ticket scalping” as Kid Rock stood next to him. While answering questions from the press, Trump said has been allowing White House staff to use the Tesla he bought earlier this month. He was also asked about a potential third term—and whether he could win a hypothetical election against Barack Obama. Trump said he would love to run against Obama but seemed to dismiss the idea of challenging the 22nd Amendment. He also revealed that he ...

6:00pm- From the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order preventing “exploitive ticket scalping” as Kid Rock stood next to him. While answering questions from the press, Trump said has been allowing White House staff to use the Tesla he bought earlier this month. He was also asked about a potential third term—and whether he could win a hypothetical election against Barack Obama. Trump said he would love to run against Obama but seemed to dismiss the idea of challenging the 22nd Amendment. He also revealed that he is considering several candidates to serve as his Ambassador to the United Nations—including David Friedman and Rick Grenell. Last week, Trump announced Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) will no longer be the administration’s nominee to serve as U.N. Ambassador. In a post to Truth Social, Trump said that he asked Stefanik to remain in Congress—citing the Republican Party’s narrow majority in the House of Representatives and the need for her critical vote to pass conservative policies. Though New York’s 21st Congressional District is reliably red, reports indicate that Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) was planning to delay filling the vacancy—despite NY law mandating an election within 90 days.
