The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- Christian Baldwin of NewsBusters writes: “New details have emerged in a congressional investigation into the Biden administration censorship enterprise that has curtailed free speech on a level unprecedented in American history. A new House Judiciary Committee report uncovered more of the Biden administration’s collusion with Facebook, YouTube and Amazon to silence constitutionally protected speech. The administration in some cases threatened these companies, pushing them to censor content or change their moderation guidelines, specifically with regards to fighting ‘vaccine hesitancy’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.” You can read the full report here: https://newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/christian-baldwin/2024/05/06/bombshell-judiciary-report-reveals-bidens-white

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/07/2024):

3:05pm- Former President Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial resumed in New York City on Tuesday. The New York Times writes that Judge Juan Merchan “denied a request from [Trump’s] lawyers for a mistrial, after [the Trump defense team] complained that [Stormy] Daniels’s testimony was prejudicial.” Reporting from inside the courthouse, Maggie Haberman detailed that at one point adult film star Stormy Daniels was asked about a statement she signed in January of 2018 where she denied having an affair with Trump.

Despite the best efforts of his political opponents and a large swath of the media to hold Donald Trump accountable for the utterances of even the most fringe of his supporters—a standard to which no other candidate is ever held.” Rich notes that the violent, antisemitic protesters living in encampments on college campuses are not Trump supporters—they are members of the Democrat party, but the media isn’t holding the left accountable. Isn’t that a double standard? You can read the full editorial here: https://observer.com/2016/07/jared-kushner-the-donald-trump-i-know/
