Trump, David Urban. Urban weighs-in on Senator John Fetterman’s decision not to attend the convention while calling for a secure Southern border, an end to wide-spread unlawful migration, and continued support for Israel in their war against Hamas. Urban says Fetterman reminds him a lot of former Senator Arlen Specter. Could Fetterman ever switch to the Republican Party? Urban urges Pennsylvanians to vote—including in the state’s U.S. Senate race—arguing Republican candidate Dave McCormick is the type of person you want to see in the White House one day. PLUS Urban reveals that he was the one who taught J.D. Vance how to properly order a cheesesteak at Pat’s—but the Philadelphia Inquirer lied about it!

5:30pm- Donald Trump Jr.—Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown what he has seen so far at the Democratic National Committee Convention in Chicago, Illinois. He explains that although the Harris-Walz campaign is disingenuously pandering to Pennsylvanians, and they can’t be trusted to follow through on their promises—particularly when it comes to the campaign’s new claim that Kamala Harris no longer wants to ban fracking. “The media is running full cover for Kamala Harris—pretending that she’s a moderate. They’re going back and scrubbing articles that are years old—editing, changing them.” He continues, “In Pennsylvania they did this last time. Remember the 2020 Democrat Primary, Kamala Harris and everyone else on the stage raised their hand, they were going to ban fracking. Joe Biden said the same exact thing. And then they get to the debate with Trump: ‘I would never do that’—because they understand it would hurt them in Pennsylvania. Then on day one they banned the Key Stone pipeline. They’ll tell you whatever they need to tell you to get your vote and then they’ll do the opposite.” Plus, Don Jr. answers the most important question: what’s the best cheese for a cheesesteak?
