6:00pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by a quarter point on Wednesday. Plus, will Congress pass a continuing resolution before Friday night’s deadline?

Chip Roy (R-TX) after he declared he would not support the newest continuing resolution bill crafted by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and the Trump team. Roy called the bill an improvement but still fiscally irresponsible. Meanwhile, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) accused Elon Musk of being the 4th branch of government—suggesting he is personally responsible for derailing the bipartisan stopgap spending bill which had been proposed yesterday.

6:40pm- Speaker of the House Mike Johnson spoke with the press—outlining why the latest stopgap spending proposal needs to pass.
