The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

5:00pm- The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a stopgap spending bill that will fund the government through September—avoiding a potential government shutdown at midnight on Friday. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is expected to vote against the continuing resolution, meaning Republicans cannot afford any other defects assuming Democrats vote in unison against the bill.

5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News, Trump Administration Special Envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote a letter to President Donald Trump apologizing for his adversarial attitude while visiting the Oval Office earlier this month.

5:25pm- After meeting with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that Ukraine has agreed to terms for an immediate ceasefire with a willingness to enter “immediate negotiations to end this conflict [with Russia] in a way that's enduring and sustainable." National Security Advisor Mike Waltz added, “The president has made it clear…that all fighting needs to end.”

5:30pm- While speaking at the HumanX A.I. Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, former Vice President Kamala Harris noted her experience with the technology citing her history of ordering Doritos through DoorDash—but is that really an example of cutting-edge artificial intelligence? Isn’t it just a service that has been around for a while?

5:40pm- The House of Representatives has passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through September. If the CR passes in the Senate, Congress will narrowly avert a government shutdown on Friday at midnight. However, several Democrats will be needed to overcome the Senate filibuster which requires 60 votes.
