Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- The United States Supreme Court released an unsigned 20-page opinion in TikTok, Inc. v. Garland and determined that the federal government can ban a social media application owned by a foreign country designated as a foreign adversary. The ban could occur as soon as Sunday, January 19th—though the Biden Administration has stated they will not enforce the ban and will leave the decision up to the incoming Trump Administration. According to reports, Donald Trump—who will be sworn in on the 20th—is looking to save the app, potentially via an executive order or a partial sale of the company. Trump, according to The Washington Post, is also considering adopting “Project Texas” which would provide the U.S. government with a “kill switch” for TikTok should the app violate norms. 3:30pm- On Friday, Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary nominee Kristi Noem testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. During the hearing, Noem emphasized that the U.S. Southern border is not secure and that, under her leadership, she would work to find the 300,000 undocumented migrant children that have gone missing during the Biden Administration. 3:40pm- Matt argues that, if confirmed, Pete Hegseth would become the most handsome Secretary of Defense in U.S. history! He’s certainly better looking than Henry Knox, for example…right?
