The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
3:05pm- 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.”
3:15pm- Last week, in a post to X, Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote: “Those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists. Violators of U.S. law—including international students—face visa denial or revocation, and deportation.” On Sunday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Mahmoud Khalil—a former Columbia University graduate student and a lawful permanent resident alien—who has been outspoken about his support for the terrorist organization Hamas. The Trump Administration intends to deport Khalil, who was born in Syria. But does this infringe upon free speech rights? In National Review, legal expert Andrew C. McCarthy notes that Khalil’s association with, and vocal support for, Hamas are debatable grounds for deportation—however, Khalil likely engaged in unlawful activities, citing the numerous arrests that occurred as a result of destructive, unauthorized on-campus protests. This makes the case against Khalil more compelling. The New York Post reported that Khalil was also being investigated as a possible national security threat.
3:40pm- In recent days, Tesla’s stock has tumbled and there have been a growing number of social media influencers advocating for a Tesla boycott in response to CEO Elon Musk’s work on behalf of the Trump Administration. In a show of support, President Donald Trump bought a Tesla at the White House on Tuesday.
