Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
- Earlier this year, President of Thomas Jefferson University Dr. Mark Tykocinski was reprimanded via email by the institution’s Chief Executive Officer Joseph Cacchione for “liked” Tweets that questioned the efficacy of gender affirming surgeries for children. Should Dr. Tykocinski have been forced to apologize? Now dozens of medical students are suggesting the apology wasn’t enough and are outrageously calling for greater accountability. Zeoli notes that it appears elements within academia now only accept conformity and group think—there is no more room for debate.
- According to a Wall Street Journal report, “Sen. Bob Menendez hosted a 2018 meeting in his Washington, D.C., office with a New Jersey businessman who is a focus of a federal public-corruption probe of the Democratic lawmaker…The meeting, which hasn’t been previously reported, came months before the businessman, Wael Hana, secured a contract with Egyptian officials for certifying halal meat exports. The contract is a key part of the probe examining whether Menendez, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, or his wife received gifts in exchange for political favors.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/sen-bob-menendez-met-businessman-under-scrutiny-in-federal-probe-c74ce253?mod=hp_lead_pos10
