Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
- On Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson posted a video to Twitter addressing his Fox News firing for the first time—hinting that he will be returning soon, though he did not specifically mention in what capacity or where he would be seen/heard. Meanwhile, Fox News viewership, perhaps unsurprisingly, has dropped precipitously.
- In response to concerns that Pennsylvania House Bill 300 could force doctors in the state to provide children with “gender affirming” care, which includes surgery and puberty blockers, State Representative Emily Kinkead confirmed that it would.
- According to reports, a Democrat State Representative in Minnesota is attempting to pass legislation that would allow the state to track speech they consider “hateful.”
- Mother’s Day goes “woke”! Some companies are now allowing consumers to “opt out” of advertisements associated with the holiday. Is “Mother’s Day” now offensive?
