The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
4:05pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that is intended to lower the price of pharmaceutical drugs domestically—explicitly mentioning a “most favored nation” pricing model which will require companies to charge Americans no more than what they are charging citizens of foreign countries. Currently, Americans typically pay more per drug than Europeans, for example—despite pharmaceuticals being developed in the United States.
4:10pm- While speaking with the press, President Trump hilariously noted he has a “brilliant businessman” friend who is “seriously overweight” and “takes the fat shot drug.” The friend told Trump that he currently pays significantly more for the drug in the United States than he does in London. But which friend was the president talking about? Matt and Justin speculate that it could be Elon Musk. Chat GPT suggests it could be Chris Christie? No chance. Artificial intelligence has failed us.
4:30pm- Bill D’Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) dismisses the idea that we are in a constitutional crisis (despite prompts from Meet the Press’s Kristen Welker) + New Jersey Democrats cause a commotion at an ICE detention facility.
