Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/29/2023):
3:05pm- Earlier this week, the sports blog Deadspin wrongfully accused a young Kansas City Chiefs fan of wearing blackface during the Chiefs-Raiders game on Sunday and of mocking Native American culture—angling the photo to only show half of the child’s face and failing to note that the face paint was black and red, the team’s colors. The social media platform X added a Community Notes correction to Deadspin’s original, inaccurate, post. Even Elon Musk felt compelled to set the record straight, praising Community Notes for “exposing deception.” Today it was revealed that Holden Armenta, the child unjustly targeted by Deadspin, is Native American.

3:30pm- The Daily Wire announced the release of its next movie, “Lady Ballers,” which will be streaming on their website December 1st. The Daily Wire co-founder, and star of the film, Jeremy Boreing explained that theaters won’t touch the film because it pokes fun at biological males competing in women’s sports.
3:40pm- Johnny Oleksinski writes that “Hollywood is finally being punished for its creativity rut”—noting that although 15 movies released in 2023 had budgets over $200 million, only one went on to earn a profit.

3:50pm- Jamie Frevele of Mediate writes, “Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, spoke at The New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday and confirmed to the crowd that he’d been in talks with Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

4:05pm- Paul Thacker—Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli to discuss his latest report, “Congress Must Hold the CDC Accountable for Cozy Ties to Pharma.” Thacker writes, “why won't congressional investigators force the CDC Director to explain why Pfizer and Moderna’s PR firm is embedded at the agency’s vaccine center?” You can find this report, and all of Thacker’s work, at his Substack— “The Disinformation Chronicle”: https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/congress-must-hold-the-cdc-accountable
4:25pm- While announcing the creation of the Council on Supply Chain Resilience, President Joe Biden blamed increased prices on “price gouging.” On Meet the Press this weekend, panelist Leigh Ann Caldwell of The Washington Post said that “Bidenomics has become a negative word…because it’s not working.”
4:30pm- Abigail Anthony of National Review writes: “Sieged Security, which describes itself as a group of ‘gay furry hackers,’ recently infiltrated a leading U.S. nuclear-research facility and obtained sensitive personal data. The group claimed responsibility for the attack in statements on public forums. ‘Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow,’ the group wrote.” You can read Anthony’s full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/gay-furry-hackers-breach-u-s-nuclear-research-facility/

5:00pm- According to a report from Emily Joshua of The Daily Mail, the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) is “expected to call on Western countries, including the U.S., to drastically reduce meat consumption to combat climate change” during its climate change conference in Dubai starting later this week. In a clip that has gone viral on social media, a panel at the World Economic Forum discusses the possibility of creating a breed of mosquitoes whose bite would be engineered to make humans intolerant to meat—ultimately decreasing the consumption of meat and reducing global warming, theoretically.
