Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Senators Ted Cruz and Cory Booker got into an argument over the Biden Administrations refusal to comply with Supreme Court rulings. The debate ended with Cruz hilariously referring to Booker as “Spartacus.” 6:30pm- On Monday, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver shared a survey which indicates 45% of self-identifying “liberals” suffer from “poor” mental health—suggesting there could be a correlation between “excellent” mental health and conservative political views. 6:40pm- In a new article posted to his Substack, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver attempts to answer the question: why do young men dislike Democrats? Silver concludes that young males are largely ambitious, entrepreneurial, and strong believers in individualism. Contrarily, the Democrat Party is viewed as risk averse and overly controlling. Additionally, the Democratic Party’s fixation with politically correct speech is perceived as restrictive and hostile towards humor.
