Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

On Tuesday, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy announced the launch of an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden—citing the alleged corruption tied to the Biden family’s overseas business transactions.
While speaking to reporters outside of the U.S. Capitol, Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA) defended the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Unsurprisingly, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) slammed the inquiry—referring to it as a “witch hunt.”
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an executive order that will temporarily suspend the right to carry firearms in the state—citing a gun violence epidemic that amounts to a public health emergency. Even far-left politician Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) and progressive activist David Hogg have called-out the governor for violating the U.S. Constitution. During a press conference addressing the executive order, Grisham claimed Constitutional rights are not absolute. Could her actions warrant impeachment?
During a press conference, Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen announced that he will not enforce Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s (D-NM) executive order to suspend the right of New Mexico citizens to carry firearms—explaining that he believed the order was unconstitutional.
In response to Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s announced impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) sarcastically stated the news was “devasting.”
