3:05pm- According to testimony from Thursday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, officials within the Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop and informed social media of its legitimacy—however, government and big tech colluded to censor the information anyway. Steven Nelson of The New York Post writes, “Laura Dehmlow, section chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, recollected in a closed-door deposition” that “[s]omebody from Twitter essentially asked whether the laptop was real. And one of the FBI folks who was on the call did confirm that, ‘yes, it was,’ before another participant jumped in and said, ‘no further comment.'” You can read Nelson’s full article here: https://nypost.com/2023/07/20/fbi-told-twitter-hunter-biden-laptop-was-real-day-of-post-scoop-official-says/

5:05pm- Dr. Carl R. Trueman— Professor of Biblical & Religious Studies at Grover City College—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “A Notre Dame Professor Sues the Student Paper.” Dr. Trueman writes: “A religiously affiliated school with open enrollment must protect the right of all students to question their professors’ views. That doesn’t mean it must formally recognize groups that are opposed to the school’s religious commitments or allow defamatory or slanderous attacks on a professor’s character. It does, however, mean that no student should live in fear of being disciplined—let alone being sued—for voicing divergent views or for subjecting a professor’s beliefs to public scrutiny. This is basic to the kind of dialogue that is necessary in the classroom and on campus for the promotion of true intellectual engagement rather than rote learning.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-notre-dame-professor-sues-the-student-paper-abortion-academic-freedom-catholic-3334c4f0?mod=opinion_lead_pos9
