Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing on the effects of a Biden Administration rule proposal change to Title IX which would expand the definition of sexual discrimination to include any school policy that prevents biological males identifying as female from competing in women’s athletic competitions. Among the individuals testifying during the hearing is NCAA swimming champion, and women’s sports advocate, Riley Gaines. Gaines insisted that there should be a place for everyone in collegiate sports, but that it isn’t safe or fair for biological males to compete against biological females.
During Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) asked FBI Director Christopher Wray why the bureau refused to concede that the Hunter Biden laptop story was authentic prior to the 2020 presidential election—especially after members of the federal government worked with social media companies to suppress the story and deny its validity.
In the 1990 Christmas-classic Home Alone, 8-year-old Kevin McCallister famously purchases a grocery cart-full of items for less than $20. One TikTok user calculated how much Kevin would have to spend in 2023 in order to buy those same groceries—an estimated $68, meaning there has been a 248% increase in prices since the movie’s theatrical release! Plus, Henry continues to insist that Eyes Wide Shut is a Christmas film.
Ari Blaff of National Review writes: “The Department of Justice is preventing two would-be whistleblowers from testifying in the Biden impeachment investigation, House Republicans claim in a report on the status of their investigation released Tuesday. The 78-page report, issued by the House Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Oversight Committees, accuses the DOJ of stonewalling the congressional investigation into allegations that the Biden administration gave the president’s son special treatment while investigating his failure to pax federal income taxes in 2017 and 2018.” You can read the full report here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/doj-blocking-whistleblowers-from-testifying-in-hunter-biden-probe-house-gop-investigators-say/
