The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Congressman Mike Kelly—Representative for Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about his work as Chairman of the Bipartisan Task Force Investigating the Attempted Assassination of Former President Donald Trump. Rep. Kelly says that based upon the evidence, Trump has been very fortunate that both would-be assassins were “amateurs” and not professionals—“we can't let our guard down” and there can't be any more Secret Service security lapses. 5:20pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Iran's attack on Israel consisting of nearly 200 ballistic missiles. What happens next? Dr. Coates is the author of the upcoming book: “Battle for the Jewish State” which features a forward from Senator Ted Cruz. 5:40pm- Debate Night Preview. In preparation for the debate, The New York Times studied Tim Walz's past debate performances. Rich and Matt think the most telling line from the article is a plea to temper expectations for Walz. It seems like even The New York Times—which endorsed Kamala Harris earlier this week—expects J.D. Vance to win handily. 5:50pm- What Does Gina Raimondo Do All Day? While speaking with Becky Quick of CNBC's Squawk Box, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she's “not very focused” on the dockworkers strike.
