The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- On Wednesday, independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, Rupa Subramanya testified before the House Judiciary Committee. While being questioned by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) Shellenberger accused USAID—and other elements of the federal government—of engaging in nefarious “information operations” and manipulating publications like the Guardian and New York Times. In another notable moment Subramanya—who was born in India—emphasized that the First Amendment’s protection of free of speech is what separates the United States from the rest of the world. 5:15pm- Angry Megaphone Bernie is BACK! And he is still furious about the wealthiest 1% of Americans (which statistically, according to his net worth, he is a part of). 5:20pm- A video montage which has gone viral on social media, shows the Clinton and Obama Administrations openly advocating for reducing the size of government and eliminating wasteful spending within the executive branch. So why are Democrats opposed to the Trump Administration following through on an identical pledge? 5:30pm- On Thursday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Robert Kennedy Jr. as the Trump Administration’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. The vote was 52 to 48—with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) being the only Republican voting against his confirmation. 5:40pm- Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Department of Justice will be suing New York over the state’s “green light” law (which allows undocumented migrants to receive a driver’s license) and its limited cooperation with the federal government on illegal immigration. Governor Kathy Hochul and State AG Letitia James were both named specifically in the suit.
