There’s no reason this should become an exercise in partisan point-scoring. Getting to the bottom of how this avoidable human catastrophe began—and adopting measures to prevent similar ones—should naturally be a unifying initiative.” Read the full editorial at: https://www.wsj.com/articles/we-still-dont-know-the-truth-about-covid-wuhan-lab-virology-pandemic-source-gain-of-function-who-research-accountability-china-congress-11675893326?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/08/2023): 

3:05- On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held a hearing which included testimony from several former Twitter executives. Vijaya Gadde, the former legal head at Twitter, testified under oath that the social media platform suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story because it believed the material was obtained via hacking—ultimatley resulting in The New York Post having its account banned. She conceded that in hindsight, Twitter should have reinstated the New York Post’s account “immediately.”

3:30pm- Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) grilled former Global Head of Trust & Safety at Twitter Yoel Roth—explaining that Roth, as well as other Twitter executives—“got played” by political actors within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who pushed the false narrative that the Hunter Biden laptop story was nothing more than Russian disinformation.

3:50pm- During Wednesday’s House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) continued to insist that the Hunter Biden laptop story is a “political conspiracy theory”—though, the laptop has been confirmed as real by The New York Times and The Washington Post. Meanwhile, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) asked Twitter executives why they censored medical information from doctors at Harvard University and Stanford University.

4:00pm- Daniel Turner—Founder & Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Tuesday night’s State of the Union Address. During his speech, President Joe Biden criticized domestic oil producers for not reinvesting profits into increasing production capacity. Moments later, he conceded that he’d like to see America's reliance upon fossil fuels disappear in the next decade! 

4:20pm- While questioning former Global Head of Trust & Safety at Twitter Yoel Roth, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) stated that Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin wished they had the ability to interfere with elections to the extent Twitter interfered with the 2020 presidential elections via censorship and suppression. 

4:40pm- After listening to Wednesday’s House Oversight and Accountability Committee, what changes need to be adopted in order to rehabilitate the federal government and prevent politically motivated officials from manipulating social media platforms/censoring speech?

5:00pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow for Regional Economics in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to disprove several economic claims President Joe Biden made during Tuesday night’s State of the Union Address. During his speech, Biden touted his economic policies, specifically the recent Department of Labor report indicating the creation of 500,000 jobs. However, as Dr. E.J. Antoni notes in his most recent Fox Business article, “once you account for employment rates, the labor market still has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. The labor force participation rate and employment-to-population ratio have both remained stubbornly low, resulting in about 2.6 million fewer people working today, compared to pre-pandemic rates.” You can read Dr. Antoni’s article at: https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/monthly-jobs-report-still-reliable-last-domino-fall

5:25pm- A police officer was shot twice in West Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon. CBS3 is reporting the officer will undergo surgery at Penn Presbyterian Hospital and is expected to survive.

6:05pm- During Wednesday’s House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) accused the Twitter account “LibsofTikTok” of speaking out against gender conversion therapy on children and, subsequently, motivating a bomb threat a children’s hospital. Using AOC’s distorted logic, wouldn’t her anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rhetoric make her responsible for the firebombing that occurred at a Homeland Security detention facility in Tacoma, Washington?

6:30pm- During Tuesday night’s State of the Union Address, Joe Biden insisted that autocracies around the world have grown weaker since he became president—specifically naming China’s leader Xi Jinping.
