Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
- On Monday, Governor Phil Murphy spoke with Eric Landskroner of News 12 and took questions from New Jersey residents. During the 40-minute segment, Gov. Murphy denied that the unusual number of whale deaths along the Atlantic Coast could be linked to offshore wind development’s usage of sonar to map the ocean’s floor, despite concerns expressed by environmental experts. At one point, Gov. Murphy baselessly alleged that studies suggesting marine life may be jeopardized by windfarm development are being funded by the fossil fuel industry. Moments later, he conceded that he had no evidence to support those claims.
- Who Won Social Media, Rich forgets to mention he was on Fox News, and Matt is rocking a mustache today…
- While speaking with Dan Bongino on Fox News, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Physics Professor Max Tegmark said “we have no clue” how advanced artificial intelligence will actually work.
