On episode 219 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributor Dan Bayer to give their reactions to the 2024 BAFTA Awards, and give out their predictions for the upcoming 2024 PGA, SAG, and Independent Spirit Awards, As discussed on last week's show, the 2024 BAFTA awards were this past Sunday, with Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer taking home seven awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy. With the film's other wins in Supporting Actor, Cinematography, Editing and Score, it has solidified itself not only as the frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars, but it is the forgone conclusion that it will be our winner this year. But with three weeks to go, can any other film set forward as a challenger and take Best Picture right at the last second? Poor Things looked to be the latest challenger to Oppenheimer as made its case by winning five BAFTA's including Best Actress for Emma Stone. But it lost Best British Film in a upset to Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest, thus making it clear which film the BAFTA voting membership was going to reward its top prize to. Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and American Fiction also took home prizes, while films like Barbie. Saltburn, All of Us Strangers, Maestro, and Killers of the Flower Moon went home empty handed. The gang discuss the impact of these results and how much they will factor them in going into the final stage of season. After discussing the BAFTAs, Ryan, Erik, and Dan gave their full predictions for the PGA, SAG, and Independent Spirit Awards, which included plenty of talk about Oppenheimer another big step towards it's Best Picture win, discuss how the four acting races will conclude, how SAG will vote in their television categories, and what they think the unpredictable Film Independent voters will vote on for its winners. All in all, it was a fun predictions portion segment filled with tons of possibilities for various winners to walk away with the top prizes at each show.

On our next episode, we will be giving our reactions to the SAG Awards, as well as doing a review of the latest sci-fi epic, Dune: Part Two. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Oppenheimer is set to ignite the BAFTA awards which are just about to get underway in London. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, about the life of the man who helped develop the atomic bomb, is leading the charge with 13 nominations including best film, best actor and best supporting actress. Meanwhile, Yorgos Lanthimos's brilliantly bonkers Poor Things is hot on Oppenheimer's heels, with 11 nods. London based commentator Richard Fitzwilliams spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

This year's Oscar nominations are out! Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer leads the pack with 13 nominations. Poor Things next with 11 noms, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and box office giant Barbie snagged eight nominations but there are two big misses. Natalie joins the show to unpack the nominations for the major categories and talk about snubs, surprises, and give some predictions. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

Other leading nominees include Poor Things, Killers Of The Flower Moon, and Barbie.

After much anticipation, the Oscar nominations are out. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer leads with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11. Barbie has eight nominations, but Greta Gerwig in the Best Director category and Margot Robbie for Best Leading Actress have been snubbed. Hollywood reporter Sandro Monetti spoke to Corin Dann.

On episode 216 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributor Josh Parham to give their reactions to the 96th Academy Award nominations. Bright and early on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 96th Oscar nominations, celebrating the films released within the year 2023. If you have been listening to the show, and following the race this season, it is no shock at all that Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer lead all films on nomination morning with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11 nominations, Killers of the Flower Moon with ten, and Barbie with eight. Speaking of Barbie, the biggest snubs and surprise of the nominations came when director Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie missed in the Best Director and Best Actress category, only for America Ferrera to sneak into the Best Supporting Actress line-up. There were other surprises that included five-nomination tallies for Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest, The Holdovers (but missing Best Director), and a solid showing for American Fiction. Ryan, Erik, and Josh break down every aspect of the above the line nominees, which predictions they got right as well as the ones they missed, and as they get into the below the line categories, question some of the stranger choices the members of the Academy made. An overall good conversation surrounding a (for the most part) good group of nominees.

This week on End Credits, we tackle the back half of “Barbenheimer”. Although it came out last summer, Oppenheimer is still making news as we count down to the Academy Awards nominations, because this movie is probably going to get a lot of them. We're going to revisit the film, and if you still have a jones for Oppenheimer adjacent material, we will have some recommendations for you. From Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips discussed: The Day After Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is a film that covers one of the most famous events in history, and it centres on a man who has both his good and bad qualities. These are the perfect ingredients for a movie, and it's been done in different ways with all sorts of famous historic figures and events, and it's also been done with the invention of the atomic bomb. We'll talk about what to watch after Oppenheimer. REVIEW: Oppenheimer (2023). He was man plagued by terrible visions, he might have been the first rock star scientist, and without him it's unlikely that the United States would have created the world's first atomic bomb. J. Robert Oppenheimer was a complicated man, and so is the movie that now bares his name. Oppenheimer calls on all of Christopher Nolan's skills as a filmmaker as he tells one man's story spread over multiple timelines and featuring a cast of thousands, but does he overcome his mechanical prowess to find Oppy's humanity? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

The BAFTA awards nominations are out, and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer leads with thirteen. That's followed by Poor Things with eleven and Killers of the Flower Moon and The Zone of Interest with nine. The ceremony will take place on February 18th in London.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is up for eight awards, while Martin Scorsese's three-and-a-half hour epic Killers of the Flower Moon is also a leading contender -- as is Yorgos Lanthimos's Poor Things. TV shows Succession and The Crown will also battle it out in the best television drama category. Film critic Richard Fitzwilliams spoke to Charlotte Cook.

Nick and Angela welcome one of the world's favourite actors to Christmas dinner at Casa Grimshaw. Florence Pugh comes from a family of performers and cooks, so it's no surprise that she has mastered both. Her first big role came in 2016, when she played Katherine in Lady Macbeth and by 2020 she was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress as Amy March in Little Women. In 2023 Florence starred in and exec produced A Good Person with Morgan Freeman and starred in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. In 2024 we will see her in the highly anticipated Dune 2. Florence loves food and has her own YouTube channel, Cooking with Flo, where her fans can watch her make her favourite meals. Angela has created a wonderful Christmas menu for Waitrose and you can find all the details and her tips and tricks in Waitrose Food magazine online or in store. Angela prepares a pear, Gorgonzola and red chicory salad to start, followed by roast turkey with rosemary, thyme and lemon butter with an apricot, sausage, sage and almond stuffing. On the side are all the trimmings: roast potatoes with confit garlic, spiced cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, Brussels sprouts with hazelnut pangrattato and orange and honey-glazed carrots. And they finish with Florence's favourite dessert, tiramisu. Nick and Florence make cocktails to start and our trio enjoy a Fenaroli Pecorino Superiore and a Villa Antinori Rosso over dinner. The experts at Waitrose also recommend a Waitrose Champagne blanc de noir, which goes perfectly with this Christmas spread. Florence Pugh is the consummate Christmas dinner party guest, arriving with a gift and her slippers which she dons before dinner. Talk at the table turns to Christmas traditions in the Pugh household, why Florence finds bed scenes so challenging - and listen out for a hilarious hosting mishap from Nick Grimshaw.

For our final main episode of 2023, we're dipping back into the Wills well to discuss Garry's under-appreciated 2010 book, Bomb Power: The Modern Presidency and the National Security State.  Joining us is our great friend Erik Baker, lecturer in the History of Science Department at Harvard University and an editor at The Drift magazine. In Bomb Power, Garry Wills elegantly demonstrates how the imperatives of secretly conceiving, building, and deploying the nuclear bomb fundamentally changed American democracy — massively empowering the presidency, disempowering Congress, and setting the nation on a permanent war footing. At the same time, secrecy and deception metastasized through the American system, enabling the rise of extra-judicial assassinations, coup plotting, domestic surveillance, torture, and clandestine war.  "Secrecy emanated from the Manhattan Project like a giant radiation emission..." writes Wills, "Because the government was the keeper of the great secret, it began specializing in secret keeping.” Also discussed: Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer  (2023), Henry Kissinger (RIP), Bush and Obama, Snowden, Ellsberg, and the ways in which Bomb Power is a profoundly Catholic book. Enjoy!Sources:Garry Wills, Bomb Power: The Modern Presidency and the National Security State (2010)Daniel Ellsberg, The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear Planner (2017)Barton Gellman, Dark Mirror: Edward Snowden and the American Surveillance State (2021)Archbishop John Wester, "Living in the Light of Christ's Peace: A Conversation Toward Nuclear Disarmament," Jan 11, 2022Erik Baker, "Daniel in the Lion's Den: On the Moral Courage of Daniel Ellsberg," The Baffler, June 17, 2023John Schwenkler and Mark Souva, "False Choices: The Unjustifiable Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki," Commonweal, Oct 14, 2020...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is one of the biggest and best films of the year, and in this very special episode of the Empire Podcast, Chris Hewitt sits down for an audience with its stars, Cillian Murphy, who stars as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, and Emily Blunt, who plays his redoubtable wife, Kitty. In a fun and free-wheeling chat, the Oppenheimers talk about working with Nolan, reading the screenplay for the first time, adjusting to their characters, and much, much more. Including the answer to the question that's long been on our minds: does Chris Nolan say 'laters, dudes'? Oh, and while this isn't a spoiler special, we do discuss major plot turns, and the film's ending, so make sure you've seen the film before giving it a spin. Enjoy.

The gang's all here this week to talk about one of the biggest films of 2023, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is a brilliant movie.  It is a movie that we love.  It is a movie filled with excellence.  It also has this one thing about it that we simply do not understand, and we've tried.  We have really and truly tried.  Take a listen and tell us if we're viewing it wrong.

The boys begin by hashing out plans for the possibly-will-never-exist-but-also-possibly-will-exist-one-day "Michael & Us: The Book." Then, they move on to Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER (2023), and try to identify the ideological outer-limits of a liberal political blockbuster circa 2023. PATREON EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/94066645

A new Poema podcast special episode with myself and Douglas Humphries - recorded during the strike specifically for a post-strike release.  In this episode we discuss Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer". We explore the various themes of the movie, how the movie impacted both of us, and the biggest lessons we can learn from the movie. We also talk about the storytelling in the movie, and the creative/storytelling lessons we can learn from Chris Nolan. 

Filmmaker Steve James burst onto the scene in 1994 with his iconic documentary, "Hoop Dreams", a film that is widely considered one of the great works of American nonfiction cinema. His latest film, "A Compassionate Spy", tells the incredible story of Manhattan Project scientist Ted Hall, who, fearing the post-war risk of a nuclear holocaust, shared classified nuclear secrets with the Soviets. In today's episode, Steve discusses with Tiller the lasting legacy of "Hoop Dreams" (2:30), why he's made films outside of the streamer system (5:15), why he chose to make "A Compassionate Spy" (10:35), trusting his gut instinct (17:50), the production plan for "A Compassionate Spy" (22:40), how Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" helped revitalize this time period for storytelling (34:40), and the shocking misconceptions he uncovered about WWII, Ted Hall, and the Military Industrial Complex (40:00).

It's Die Hard in the war on drugs!For this very special episode, Phil and Liam are joined by a VERY special guest: actor, writer, director, comic book author, renaissance man and podcasting superstar PAUL SCHEER! That's right, the effervescent host of top film podcasts Unspooled and How Do This Get Made? chartered a helicopter and flew in to join Phil and Liam for an intensive analysis of this mid--90s classic! The film's complex plot is thus: after a close friend is murdered by international drug traffickers, the vengeful US President (Donald Moffet) tacitly instructs his National Security team to launch a series of secret military strikes against the parties deemed responsible. Soon the new CIA deputy director Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) discovers himself to be an unwitting pawn in a covert, illegal war between American paramilitary forces and the Colombian drug cartels. As the carnage escalates, Ryan must find a way to quell the bloodshed and expose the corruption at the heart of his own government.  CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER is the third entry in the Jack Ryan film franchise that started with THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. That particular movie was of course directed by DIE HARD helmer John McTiernan, meaning that there is plenty of ‘DIE HARD DNA' in the mix here…but does this motion picture also share some key similarities with Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER? The guys assess its influences and its legacy, while also wrestling with another burning question: is this the ultimate ‘Dad movie'? Paul talks passionately about his deep and long-standing connection with DIE HARD and his youthful love for all things Bruce Willis, and the guys go deep on the film's eclectic creative contributors, that includes personalities such as Tom Clancy, Harrison Ford, Philip Noyce, John Milius and Steven Zaillian. They also discuss the virtues of an outstanding ensemble cast that features the likes of Willem Dafoe, James Earl Jones, Anne Archer, Thora Birch, Joaquim de Almeida, Henry Czerny, Harris Yulin, Raymond Cruz, Benjamin Bratt and Miguel Sandoval. Paul even discusses the part he'd most love to play! The stacked cast makes for a particularly entertaining edition of the ‘Die Hard Oscars', and a tantalizing trivia quiz provides some stimulating brain-teasers…along with a warm and fuzzy moment or two. This highly entertaining episode is not to be missed - how DARE YOU not listen to it?! CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuYb6ZNQaZoAt the time of release, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER is streaming on Paramount + and is available to rent of buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple/iTunes, YouTube, Vudu, Redbox, Direct TV, AMC and all the usual platforms.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week, we're all enjoying bombing and threatening one another, until the Doctor comes along and delivers a long speech about New Cruel People, which starts making us feel bad about ourselves. And fair enough. It's The Zygon Inversion. Notes and links The Decimas were tiny squeaky-voiced aliens, who looked like nothing so much as miniature Zygons; their leader was played by our very own Deep Roy. They appeared in the fifth episode of Blakes 7, Web, and so you can hear more about them in Maximum Power episode 5, Color-coded Anoraks. Sonequa Martin-Green is the astonishing beautiful lead in the first of the new new Star Trek series, Star Trek: Discovery. Her ability to convey genuine emotional distress in Series 1 was so impressive that they required her to do it in just about every scene in Series 2. And Truth or Consequences is a real place in New Mexico, a small town that voted to name itself after a radio game show in 1950. (Before that, it was called Hot Springs.) Picks of the Week Simon Simon recommends seminal Cold War-era horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), which has been an influence on Doctor Who all the way back to The Faceless Ones. James James brings us back to 2023 with his recommendation of Marvel's TV miniseries Secret Invasion, which itself goes back to a comic book crossover storyline that ran for a few months in 2008. Peter Peter suggests Barbenheimer, which was this year's weirdest media trend, watching Greta Gerwig's Barbie (2023) and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) on the same day. If Bonnie is still around in 2023, you have to believe that she participated. Nathan Nathan suggests watching Heartstopper (2022), a terribly sweet gay high-school romance on Netflix. It's based on Alice Oseman's webcomic, and is also a series of graphic novels. Follow us Nathan is on X as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood, and Simon is @simonmoore72.

Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll apply for you to appear on The Chase without telling you about it first. And more Last week, we released the first episode of our new Space: 1999 commentary podcast, Startling Barbara Bain. In that first episode, we talked over the show's pilot episode Breakaway, in which the moon is hurled from its orbit by a terrible nuclear explosion. A couple of our podcasts are finished or on hiatus right now. Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on every episode of the Whittaker era, recorded just a couple of days after the broadcast of the episode. Bondfinger was our James Bond commentary podcast, which also covered some of our favourite spy-fi TV shows of the sixties and seventies. Maximum Power is back! Our podcast about Blakes 7, co-produced with the Trap One podcast, continues its coverage of Blakes 7 series C, with a discussion of the second episode, Powerplay. And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we watched a lovely episode of Star Trek: Voyager. B'Elanna crash lands on a bronze-age planet and becomes the inspiration for a beautiful young playwright in Muse.

On Episode 107 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve is joined by Leighton Winstone and filmmaker Kyle Reardon to give you their in-depth review and analysis of legendary director Martin Scorsese's latest film, his epic adaptation of author David Grann's 2017 book, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. Scorsese's film drops the book's subtitle and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons and John Lithgow. It tells the story of the discovery of oil in 1920s Oklahoma under Osage Nation land and the subsequent series of murders of the Osage people that take place until the FBI steps in to unravel the mystery. Scorsese has directed some of the Film ‘89 team's all time favourite films, several of which have had their own in-depth episodes on the podcast. Will Scorsese's latest capture the same degree of success of the other big 2023 historical drama, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, or will audiences, put off by it's considerable runtime, wait for its subsequent release on Apple TV+? Tune in to hear the team's verdict of the latest film from a true Hollywood legend. *Apologies for the varying levels of audio quality on this episode. In keeping with the theme of the film, it was recorded on equipment from the 1920s. 

Outside of The Dark Knight and The Dark Night Rises, Oppenheimer is Christopher Nolan's biggest movie — not to mention one of the best reviewed and most ambitious. We look back on the movie about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the so-called "father of the atomic bomb," with Nolan and stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr., who gathered prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike for EW's Around the Table video series. Plus, EW editor-in-chief Patrick Gomez and Awardist host Gerrad Hall break down the movie's potential Oscar nominations, which could come close to breaking a record. Learn more about your ad choices.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is the rarest of things: a summer blockbuster that is super-smart and repays close analysis. Two weeks ago, this podcast teamed up with Jewish Currents writers and editors Mari Cohen, David Klion, and Raphael Magarik to talk about the way the film portrays the 20th century left.But there is more to be said about the movie. Frequent Time of Monsters contributor, Doug Bell had some bones to pick with the the film. In particular, he feels it slighted the way Oppenheimer compromised with the anti-communist witch-hunters who tried to destroy his career. Was Oppenheimer a martyr or an opportunist? To take up the movie and the longer history of anti-communist repression in the United States, Jeet Heer talks with Doug Bell about the movie and the reality it sometimes fails to do justice.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As unexpected as it was that the Barbie movie would spark such a widespread and intense cultural conversation, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, a film about the brilliant and broken man who became the father of the atomic bomb, has too. The film tells the story of the man who gave the world the power to destroy itself, or as Oppenheimer famously put it, “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”  Atomic weapons have been a constant source of debate since their initial use to end the war against Japan in 1945. At the time, Christians had a dual reaction. On one hand, many breathed a sigh of relief that the long war was over, that the boys would come home, and that there would be no further repeats of the devastation seen at places like Iwo Jima and Okinawa, where Japanese resistance was so fanatical that they fought almost to the last man. On the other hand, Christians shared the widespread sense that a deadly Pandora's Box had been opened and that there was no way to go back to a world before “the Bomb.”  Certainly, the sheer destruction and the immense casualties leveled on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are difficult to justify. America has also been accused of racist motivations in dropping the bomb, and in overlooking the significance of the August 8 Soviet invasion of Manchuria and the weakened state of the Japanese military that late into the war.  The fact remains, numerous factors must be considered in light of some ethical framework. By far the best framework for considering war comes from the Christian contribution of the just war doctrine. Specifically, in what is known as jus in bello, just war doctrine says that for a war, or even part of a war, to be considered moral, it must only be done for the right reasons and in the right ways.   For example, while civilian deaths are inevitable, particularly in modern war, noncombatants must never be targeted. This was recently argued again by Adam Mount in Foreign Policy magazine. He wrote that in dropping the bomb, Japanese civilians weren't merely collateral damage but intentionally killed as an act of terror to scare Tokyo into surrendering. In response, Marc LiVecche wrote in Providence magazine that the attacks were indeed a demonstration to the Japanese government, but the target of destruction were the cities, not the people within them.  It's also significant to keep in mind the pressures of the cultural moment. President Truman faced the brutal question of how to end the immense suffering of a war that had gone on so long, when great suffering would follow no matter what he did. As such, doing nothing would not have been a preferrable moral option. The Japanese empire had for years been perpetuating great evil upon its neighbors, leaving millions dead and millions more enslaved.   Had the Americans gone ahead with the planned “Downfall” invasions of Japan, the death toll might have made the atomic attacks pale in comparison. Simply blockading Japan without direct attacks of any sort would have left millions of Japanese people to slowly starve before the military caved, something they'd already demonstrated an intense unwillingness to do.  From the comfort and safety of distance and time, it is much easier to issue simple proclamation. Reality on the ground at the time is not so simple, and theological reflection, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, must be done in the “tempest of the living.” Centuries ago, when asked by a Roman officer if he could, in good Christian conscience, continue his work as a soldier, St. Augustine replied, “Therefore, even in waging war, cherish the spirit of a peacemaker, that, by conquering those whom you attack, you may lead them back to the advantages of peace.” Just war doctrine warns us that any and all actions in a war must not be seen as their own end but only as the means toward a greater end.   War is always awful and sometimes necessary. The great virtue found in just war doctrine is not that it allows for a clean war, free from doubt about our actions. There's no such thing. However, it can help guide those forced to do terrible things in the face of horrible options. To learn more about just war theory, see Just War and Christian Traditions, edited by Eric Patterson and Daryl Charles.   Today's Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Timothy Padgett.  For more resources to live like a Christian in this cultural moment, go to breakpoint.org.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11 to 10—along party lines—to create new ethics guidelines for the Supreme Court of the United States. The legislation is unlikely to pass in the Senate and would certainly fail in the House of Representatives. During the three-hour hearing, Senator Mike Lee noted that this proposed legislation “is a solution looking for a problem.” While appearing on CNN, Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) exclaimed that if the Supreme Court doesn't adopt a code of ethics “Congress will provide one for them.” Two of the summer's biggest films release today: Christopher Nolan's “Oppenheimer” and Greta Gerwig's “Barbie.” During an appearance on Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused the “Barbie” movie of “kissing up to the Chinese Communist Party” with its depiction of a map that allegedly validates Chinese claims to territories in the South China Sea.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (07/21/2023): 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/ 3:30pm- Grammy award-winning singer Tony Bennett has died at age 96. 3:35pm- In response to Laura Dehmlow's deposition which revealed that government officials and big tech censored the Hunter laptop despite authenticating its contents, current Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted: “Wow.” 3:40pm- USMC Major Scott Huesing— Bestselling Author of “Echo in Ramadi” & Executive Director for Save the Brave—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his 9-day ride across the country on a Harley Davidson to raise awareness for veteran suicide.

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 5:15pm- While appearing on Nightline, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health & Human Services Dr. Rachel Levine warned that some children go through “the wrong puberty.” 5:20pm- While speaking at the Aspen Institute, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas boasted about the Biden Administration no longer using the term “illegal alien” to describe illegal border crossings. 5:30pm- The Afternoon Mystery Movie Clip! 5:40pm- While speaking with CTV, director James Cameron joked that he warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence in his 1984 film The Terminator—but no one listened! 6:05pm- On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11 to 10—along party lines—to create new ethics guidelines for the Supreme Court of the United States.
