The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/09/2023):
3:05pm- The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Trump Administration order that banned “bump stocks.”
3:15pm- According to guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics, obese children as young as 12-years-old should consider medications to combat obesity—with surgery sometimes recommended for kids who are 13-years or older.
3:30pm- Why isn’t the American Academy of Pediatrics just placing a great emphasis on children exercising instead of encouraging risky medications and even surgery? Are kids being over-medicated?
3:50pm- In a new Wall Street Journal opinion editorial, Jenin Younes and Aaron Kheriaty document “[n]ewly released emails" showing "how officials coerce social-media companies to toe the government line.” They write, “[t]he emails emerged Jan. 6 in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden, a free-speech case brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana and four private plaintiffs represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance.” Younes, litigation counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance, will be joining the show later this afternoon.
4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie confirmed he will be given a seat on the newly established “Church Committee” to investigate the Federal Government’s weaponization of domestic surveillance. In August 1975, Senator Frank Church appeared on Meet the Press and discussed surveillance technology being used by the American government to monitor foreign enemies—but he warned that it could, in the future, be used by the government to infringe upon the rights of American citizens. His warnings proved to be prophetic.
4:15pm- In an opinion editorial for The New York Post, journalist Paul Sperry describes how he learned that Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff demanded Twitter executives ban Sperry for having written unflattering articles about the New York congressman. In a series of RealClearInvestigations pieces in 2020, Sperry documented how Schiff had lied about having prior contact with whistleblowers—something the New York Times has also reported on.
4:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed the pro-longed vote for Speakership, stating: “sometimes Democracy is messy.”
4:45pm- Bad Opinion Editorial: In Scientific America, Tracie Canada writes of Damar Hamlin’s on-field cardiac arrest, “[t]he ‘terrifyingly ordinary’ nature of football’s violence disproportionately affects Black men.” Is the NFL purposefully putting Black men in danger?
5:00pm- Jenin Younes—Litigation Counsel at the New Civil Liberties Alliance & Attorney for the private plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about her Wall Street Journal opinion editorial, “The White House COVID Censorship Machine.” In the editorial, Younes writes: “Newly released documents show that the White House has played a major role in censoring Americans on social media. Email exchanges between Rob Flaherty, the White House’s director of digital media, and social-media executives prove the companies put Covid censorship policies in place in response to relentless, coercive pressure from the White House—not voluntarily. The emails emerged Jan. 6 in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden…” Read the article at: https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-covid-censorship-machine-social-media-facebook-meta-executive-rob-flaherty-free-speech-google-11673203704?mod=opinion_lead_pos5
