Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) is requesting an “urgent briefing” from IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel’s office to address concerns about possible retaliation. “These allegations are extremely serious. Such retaliation not only discourages whistleblowers from coming forward to Congress but can also constitute an illegal violation of statutory protections for whistleblowers,” Smith wrote in a letter to Werfel on Tuesday. The letter was published by Just the News. Lawyers for an IRS criminal supervisory special agent wrote to Congress on Monday to say their client had just been told that “he and his entire investigative team are being removed” from the Hunter Biden probe and was “informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice.” The “move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” lawyers Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote. The IRS agent, who has not been publicly identified, has sought to make protected whistleblower disclosures to Congress while raising concerns about lies and politics corrupting the criminal inquiry into Hunter Biden. After Biden’s lawyers met with Department of Justice officials late last month, sources told The Washington Post that potential charges for tax- and gun-related crimes may soon follow from Delaware’s U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Hunter Biden has said he expects to be cleared of wrongdoing, and his father, President Joe Biden, told MSNBC this month that his son has “done nothing wrong.” The IRS and Justice Department have so far refused to respond directly to the claim that the IRS supervisor and his entire team had been pulled from the case. The Justice Department has deferred to Weiss, whose office is so far not speaking out on the matter. Smith requested a briefing from Werfel’s office by 5 p.m. on Thursday. “Failure to provide forthcoming and transparent information regarding the actions taken against this employee by your agency will necessitate additional Committee action,” he warned. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-allows-illinois-assault-weapons-ban-take-effect Supreme Court allows Illinois 'assault weapons' ban to take effect The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Illinois' ban on "assault weapons" to take effect temporarily on Wednesday. The ruling allows the Illinois law to remain in effect while lower courts deliberate on its constitutional status. Wednesday's ruling comes after a gun shop owner in Illinois requested an injunction against the ban. The Illinois law bans the sale and new possession of semi-automatic "assault weapons." Those who already legally own such weapons would not have to turn them in. The law also bans the sale of large capacity magazines. The court did not offer an explanation for its Wednesday decision, and there were no noted dissents. The National Foundation for Gun Rights (NFGR) a legal group associated with the gun store that requested an injunction, expressed disappointment with Wednesday's ruling. The group remains committed to fighting Illinois' ban, however. "Any action the Supreme Court would have taken at this point would only have been temporary and not on the merits of the case itself. Clearly, the Supreme Court is watching the issue closely and we look forward to appealing very soon on the merits if the 7th Circuit rules against us – as the signs currently point to," said Hannah Hill, Executive Director of the NFGR. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit is currently considering the case. The request for an injunction went to Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Illinois passed the Protect Illinois Communities Act on Jan. 10, banning the sale, purchase, manufacture, delivery and importation of "assault weapons" and large capacity magazines, with exceptions for law enforcement, military members and certain other professionals with firearm training. The legislation specifically names the AR-15 and AK-47 rifles and requires lawful owners of semi-automatic rifles to register their ownership with state police. The 7th Circuit has yet to issue a final ruling on the Illinois law, but its decision is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court. Judge Stephen Patrick McGlynn, a Trump appointee in Illinois' Southern District, had initially granted the injunction earlier in May. Appellate Judge Frank Easterbrook then reversed McGlynn's ruling, a decision that has now been supported by both the 7th Circuit and the Supreme Court. McGlynn's ruling had argued that Illinois' law infringed on the right to self-defense and, in some cases, "completely obliterated that right by criminalizing the purchase and the sale of more than 190 'arms.'" https://mynorthwest.com/3889164/rantz-pedophile-ish-adult-woman-identifies-15-year-old-boy-per-police-report/ ‘Pedophile-ish’ adult woman identifies as 15-year-old boy, per police report Police arrested a 35-year-old woman, who identifies as a 15-year-old boy, for harboring a teen runaway. Shouldn’t Washington Progressives defend this woman for being mis-aged? The police allege Amanda Dorrough was involved in a host of inappropriate behavior with juveniles, including getting naked in front of them, inappropriately touching one, and providing marijuana. One of her alleged victims characterized her as “pedophile-ish,” according to a police incident report, which doesn’t list the individual ages of the alleged victims. This incident highlights the dangers of identifying as something you’re not. But it also shows the left-wing hypocrisy on issues of identity. The vice principal at Port Angeles High School reported to police that two students reported that eight of their classmates were planning to run away to Seattle with Amanda Dorrough, according to the police report. It said there had been “several recent reports of Amanda Dorrough having runaway youth in her apartment.” An officer located several teen minors at the gully behind Dorrough’s apartment complex on May 4, 2023. Several of them were identified by the school as planning to run away, and Dorrough was allegedly aware that one was listed as a runaway, giving the officer probable cause to arrest her for Unlawful Harboring of a Minor. In addition to the minors, police found two empty condom packets and a bra at the gully. “While at the Clallam County Jail, Amanda told the staff that she identifies as a teenage boy,” the incident report states. “The previous week, she told [an officer] that she identifies as a teenage boy. The previous week she told [the officer] that she feels like teenagers ‘understand’ her better and that she ‘identifies’ better with teenage kids. Amanda is a 35-year-old woman.” An alleged juvenile victim, identified only as T.A., told authorities that he found Dorrough to be “pedophile-ish,” according to the incident report. It says T.A. reports that Amanda told him that she liked him and when he didn’t reciprocate the feeling, she got upset and “almost killed herself.” He alleged she touched him inappropriately and has been completely nude in front of him. T.A. also alleged that Dorrough provided him and other juveniles with marijuana. The Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged her with one count of distributing a controlled substance (marijuana/cannabis) to a minor. She posted bail on May 14. This is not the first contact police have had with an adult pretending to be a minor. Since April 11, 2023, the police said they received 11 calls concerning Dorrough’s alleged conduct. Now it’s time for my new segment, the rundown… https://www.theblaze.com/news/church-that-runs-nashville-christian-school-where-mass-killing-occurred-moves-to-block-public-release-of-trans-shooters-manifesto Over the weekend, the Covenant Presbyterian Church and associated Covenant School filed a motion to block the public release of the manifesto of the transgender shooter who attacked the school, court documents revealed. Monday court filings revealed that the Covenant Church requested that the court prevent the documents from being released to the public, citing privacy concerns. The motion, filed against the Tennessee Firearms Association, and another filed against the Nashville Police Association stated that the manifesto "may include and/or relate to information owned by Covenant Church," such as "schematics of church facilities and confidential information" regarding employees. The church claimed the manifesto's release could "impair or impede its ability to protect its interests and the privacy of its employees." https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/24-republican-governors-commit-help-texas-defend-its-border Twenty-four Republican governors have responded to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s call for help to secure its border with Mexico. This is after at least more than 7 million people have been apprehended or reported evading capture by law enforcement since President Joe Biden’s been in office. Within the past few days, groups of tens of thousands of foreign nationals arrived in the Rio Grande Valley and in other areas of Texas, overwhelming Border Patrol agents, officials said. Abbott has already sent more than 10,000 Texas National Guard troops to the border as border communities continue to declare emergencies. The governors pledging support in addition to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is deploying troops and resources in the next 24 hours, include those of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. They pledged their support within hours of Abbott’s request for help Tuesday afternoon. https://www.dailyfetched.com/netflix-series-which-incorrectly-featured-cleopatra-as-black-woman-gets-worst-audience-score-in-tv-history/ Netflix Series Which Incorrectly Featured Cleopatra as Black Woman Gets Worst Audience Score in TV History As The Daily Fetched reported last month, the government of Egypt has slammed Netflix for the portrayal, accusing them of falsely rating history for politics. The secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, said the Netflix show wrongly Featuring Cleopatra was a black woman represents a “falsification of Egyptian history and a blatant historical fallacy.” the show has done something I didn’t think was even possible. It has not just the lowest audience score in Netflix history; it has essentially the lowest audience score possible on Rotten Tomatoes, a 1%. Not a 10%, a 1%. (Update: It just ticked up to 2%. Still an unprecedented low) https://www.boundingintosports.com/2023/05/west-virginia-coach-bob-huggins-hit-with-massive-fine-suspension-for-anti-gay-slur/ West Virginia Coach Bob Huggins Hit With Massive Fine, Suspension For Anti-Gay Slur While appearing on the May 8, 2023, episode of The Bill Cunningham Show, he used a homophobic slur and expressed anti-Catholic sentiments on more than one occasion. Following the interview’s airing, Bob Huggins subsequently issued an apology for what he had said, calling it “completely insensitive and abhorrent” and promised to accept any consequences. Amidst calls for Bob Huggins to be fired, the administration in Morgantown was faced with a tough decision. The comments were easily a terminable offense, but the school chose to blow the whistle on their head coach in a different manner. And while Huggy Bear will return to the bench next year, he’ll have a lot lighter wallet to sit on when he does. Huggins has agreed to a million-dollar salary reduction, a three-game suspension, and sensitivity training. Huggins’ suspension will take place during his team’s first three regular-season games. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2023/05/former-raiders-wide-receiver-henry-ruggs-pleads-guilty-to-driving-drunk-156-mph-in-fatal-crash/ Former Raiders Wide Receiver Henry Ruggs Pleads Guilty To Driving Drunk 156 MPH In Fatal Crash Tina Tintor, 23, and her pet dog were killed in the crash. Following the accident, Ruggs registered a blood alcohol content twice Nevada’s legal limit. On May 10, the Raiders’ 2020 first-round NFL draft pick will avoid trial and is expected to be sentenced Aug. 9 to three to 10 years in state prison under terms of his plea deal with prosecutors. The minimum three-year sentence cannot be reduced by converting the year-and-a-half that he has already spent on house arrest applied as time already served. That means the once-promising wide receiver will go to prison and won’t be able to appeal his conviction or sentence. It’s a strict punishment, designed to hit first-time offenders harder than most traffic felonies. However, due to the events leading up to the incident, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson pushed for the maximum repercussions. https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/05/16/arnold-schwarzenegger-says-hes-done-with-terminator-admits-genisys-and-dark-fate-were-just-not-well-written/ In entertainment news… Terminator actor Arnold Schwarzenegger bluntly stated he’s done with the Terminator franchise moving forward while also admitting that both Genisys and Dark Fate “were just not well written.” Schwarzenegger conducted a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter discussing everything from the media slaughtering Last Action Hero due to his politics, his own personal growth and belief in God, his divorce, and his upcoming Netflix series FUBAR. https://dailycaller.com/2023/05/16/sports-illustrated-transgender-male-swimsuit-edition-magazine-cover/ Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition has put biological male Kim Petras in a two-piece swimsuit on its Swimsuit Edition magazine cover that was released Monday.

An influx of migrants crossing the southern border after the expiration of Title 42 has not happened. But the governors of Florida and Idaho have already heeded Gov. Greg Abbott's call.

At least fourteen states in the US have passed laws or policies that limit or restrict gender-affirming care for young people. Republican lawmakers claim the bills are meant to protect kids, but most medical groups say the treatment is safe, effective and potentially live-saving. Even so, Republican leaders like Texas governor Greg Abbot compare gender-affirming care to child abuse. Meanwhile trans people, parents, and their supporters have protested outside of Republican controlled statehouses across the country. Florida has targeted gender-affirming care more than most other states. And on Wednesday, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed the latest such bill into law. It's gotten to the point where some trans youth are leaving the state, rather than living under the ban.With reporting from WUFS's Stephanie Columbini and WFSU's Regan McCarthy.

Here's a selection of stories that made the headlines this week-----The House GOP voted to boost border security by finishing the wall and hiring thousands of agents.----Florida attorney general sues the Biden administration to stop the mass release of migrants into the U.S. along the southern border.----Prior to the termination of Title 42, Texas Governor Greg Abbott created a new Texas tactical border force. ----Less than a day after Mayor Eric Adams announced his plan for New York City to relocate illegal immigrants to hotels in Rockland and Orange Counties, elected officials in both areas have rejected the idea and declared a state of emergency in response.----Kathy Hochul, governor of New York, declared a state disaster emergency late Tuesday ahead of the expiration of Title 42. This allows New York to mobilize some 500 members of the National Guard that are currently providing logistical and operational support at New York City's Port Authority bus terminal and shelter sites, bringing the total mobilization to about 1,500 service members.----As Illinois continues to welcome migrants from the Mexican border, officials are now scrambling to find the resources to care for them. ----The Department of Homeland Security released a statement at midnight Thursday as Title 42 was expiring saying the border is not open.----A federal judge in Florida temporarily blocked the Biden administration from releasing illegal immigrants into the U.S. without court dates as the nation braces for a surge of illegal border crossings.

Chaos ensues as Title 42 ends and masses of illegal immigrants attempt to tear through the southern border. Democrats claim there is no crisis, but the footage says otherwise. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is trying his best, and Republicans passed the Secure the Border Act, but the Biden administration refuses to act. The New York City council passed a bill that makes it illegal to discriminate against fat people. Finally, all the city's problems are solved! Bear Grylls admits it was a mistake to go vegan. A mechanic makes a beer-powered motorcycle. And speaking of beer, Greg spills an entire pot of coffee in the break room.

Everyone on the Right laments the border, but nobody is demanding the states do what it takes to stop it. The perfect example is Governor Greg Abbott. We're joined today by former Deputy DHS Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, who accuses Abbott of looking busy and doing nothing while refusing to actually repel the invasion. He explains why Operation Lone Star has been a failure and a waste. Later on, Ken gives a unique critique of the Trump administration and how it was full of swamp creatures who made it hard for people like him to push consistent policies on immigration. The lack of preparation, follow-through, and unified personnel killed Trump's presidency. He explains this is why he is now pushing DeSantis to run for president. He believes DeSantis appoints people who are 100% dedicated to the mission rather than random people whose only loyalty is to Trump first, not America first. Learn more about your ad choices.

Republican lawmakers made history today by detailing damaging evidence that links President Biden and his family to a $10 million dollar crime scheme. President Biden did a complete 180 today even as Title 42 is set to expire tomorrow. Biden broke a major campaign promise by recommitting to the Trump-era "remain in Mexico" policy that requires asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while they await their entry approvals. Tucker Carlson is suing Fox News, and he may just win.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer identified nine members of President Biden's family who allegedly received foreign income. The family members involved are Hunter Biden; Joe's brother, James Biden; James' wife, Sara; Hallie Biden; Hunter Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen; Hunter's current wife, Melissa Cohen; and three children of both the president's son and the president's brother. Comer outlined Joe Biden's foreign influence-peddling, including his taking $1 million from a Romanian national. Will Joe be held accountable now that this has come out? Does this signal the end for his 2024 presidential campaign? Migrants are lining up along the southern border in anticipation of Title 42 ending. Governor Greg Abbott sent the DHS and Border Patrol to block some migrants trying to enter illegally, though they only had to travel a short way down the road for an easy entrance. In fact, Alejandro Mayorkas said he'll refer the servicemen blocking the migrants to the DOJ because we ignore the people entering illegally and instead go after the people stopping the crime. There's no way to make that make sense. Mayorkas claims lifting Title 42 doesn't mean the border is open, but that's clearly not the case. California has launched a new hotline for residents to report “hate acts.” Gavin Newsom announced the launch of CA vs HATE, which will allow Californians to snitch on their neighbors for committing “hate acts.” Tucker Carlson announced he'll be taking his show to Twitter.

Get the Sunday show and postgame, as well as support the show, at patreon.com/leftreckoning David & Matt break down Texas Governor Greg Abbott's border militarization. Gus Bova (@gusbova) of the Texas Observer joins us to talk about how a Texas worker died at Tesla's Gigafactory: HE DIED HELPING BUILD TESLA'S GIGAFACTORY. TESLA DIDN'T TELL LOCAL OFFICIALS https://www.texasobserver.org/tesla-t... And our friend FDR Scholar and advisor to Marianne Williamson Harvey Kaye (@harveyjkaye) joins us to assess Biden's first term in office and break down why he has decided to support Marianne Willamson in 2024.

In today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss the Texas mall shooting suspect Mauricio Garcia, who killed eight people being portrayed as a neo-Nazi, Gov. Abbott taking action to secure the US-Mexico border ahead of Title 42 expiration, and the White House preparing for possible charges to be brought up against Hunter Biden.

David Waldman and Joan McCarter bring us up-to-date, and up-to-Tuesday morning news and opinion. While we bide our time waiting for the next mass shooting, the media informs us that several very nice people have been killed by a very bad person. However, Greg Abbott and the Right want you to believe that both sides are to blame. You know what? So does the media.  Both sides (all of them women) join to block South Carolina's near-total abortion ban. Ron DeSantis has picked Disney as the hill to die on and will pave the road there in radioactive waste. In Florida, butt crack = pornography, thus all Floridians are criminals. A Wisconsin judge is ordering that the state elections commission reconsider a complaint against its fake electors. Stewart Rhodes wants the court to consider his years of running an "all-volunteer" organization, AKA the “bin Laden” defense. Enrico Tarrio wonders how his boss got away with it. Donald Trump wonders why everyone's always picking on him. Harlan Crow sure isn't paying for your kid's school, because that would be a lousy investment. Anita Hill did raise a few red flags over Clarence Thomas, as you may recall. Those red flags have only multiplied over the decades. Dick Durbin has “everything is on the table”, where he plans to pretty much just leave it. Gerald Ford showed that Supreme Court justices could be impeached... or not impeached as the case may be. Trump and McConnell already packed the Supreme Court, and they, and you, and I probably won't live to see that changed. Meanwhile, Republicans threaten the world economy unless they are allowed to destroy the US economy. President Joe Biden will keep trying to fix things, but the hero might just end up being… Mitch McConnell?

Find out what the single most corrupt president in our nation's history has done to our southern border!  The good news is that people are waking up, and even the most unlikely of people are turning against Biden and promising to consign the Democrats to a permanent minority party.   Highlights:  ●      “The Bumblin' Biden administration announced that they were suspending what's known as Title 42, which was an executive order issued by Donald Trump that closed off the border to migrants in an attempt to help prevent the spreading of the virus. It was another affirmation that the southern border is now completely open for anyone who wants to cross it!” ●      “President Trump oversaw the lowest illegal border crossings in nearly 50 years, in 2017, there were 415,517 instances of illegal border crossing, which was the lowest since 1971. By contrast, since Biden assumed office, in just two years, there have been an estimated 4 million illegal border crossings.” ●      “This is a crisis, an unprecedented crisis, and Biden and the Democrats are intentional with this! Make no mistake, this is a deliberate, manufactured crisis to destabilize the nation and turn us into a full-fledged third-world banana republic.” ●      “Latinos have in effect become the new swing voter, and this is utterly disastrous for the Democrats!”    Timestamps:    [01:39] Biden ending Title 42 and the latest happenings at our Southern Border [03:54] What Texas Gov.

Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's announced proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. But what is the economic impact of this new policy? How drastically could flight prices increase? After weeks of media personalities labeling conservative reports that Democrats were seeking to ban gas stoves, Governor Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers made New York the first state to ban the installation of gas stoves in new construction projects.

After the atrocious shooting on Saturday afternoon at the Allen Premium Outlets, details on the suspect are beginning to emerge and paint an incredibly bizarre picture. Allen police identified the shooter as Mauricio Garcia, a Dallas resident. Garcia appears to have shown interest in Nazi ideology along with a patch with the acronym "rdws." Authorities believe the letters stand for "right wing death squad." The story is ongoing. Governor Greg Abbott responded to the incident by saying we need to address mental health as we've seen an increase in shootings in both red and blue states. After this incident, Chad swears off going to or performing in gun-free zones. Adding to the chaos, Title 42 is set to end, and there's a massive wave of migrants set to come crashing through the border. Alejandro Mayorkas says authorities are prepared for what's coming, but it's quite clear that simply isn't the case. Where are these people going? How are they going to be housed and fed?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/08/2023): 3:05pm- On Monday, President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. 3:30pm- While announcing his administration's new policy proposal forcing airlines to compensate passengers for missed or cancelled flight, Biden blamed airlines for individuals being unable to spend time with their families over the holiday season. The Daily Wire's Ben Zeisloft notes, airlines “experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system.” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says 3:45pm- Guy Ciarrocchi—Real Clear Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial, “The Suburbs Are Pulling Us Apart.” Ciarrocchi writes. “Somewhere, over the last generation, the suburbs had become ground zero for every societal, cultural – and, ultimately, every political – problem in Pennsylvania and in our nation. Think of the battles of just the last few years. The biggest fights over Covid mandates took place in the suburbs – not in rural Pennsylvania, where most people went about their business. Not in Philadelphia, where many could walk to stores or order takeout or delivery, as they did frequently even before the lockdowns.” You can read the Ciarrocchi's full article here: https://www.realclearpennsylvania.com/articles/2023/05/01/the_suburbs_are_pulling_us_apart_896859.html 4:05pm- During ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos noted a “brutal” Washington Post/ABC News poll for President Joe Biden—indicating a struggling approval rating, concerns about his age, and a projected 2024 loss in a hypothetical rematch with former President Donald Trump. 4:20pm- According to a report from Politico, the Biden Admin is “bracing for impact” as the Justice Department determines whether or not to charge Hunter Biden. Jonathan Lemire writes, “[i]n conversations, Democrats and senior West Wing aides are downplaying the potential impact, arguing Hunter Biden was a factor in the 2020 election and voters elected his father anyway. They point out the president's top rival, Donald Trump, was just indicted himself. But people close to Biden still worry about the personal toll it will take on a father who has already felt anguish about a son's struggles amid a long history of family tragedy.” You can read Lemire's article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/06/bracing-for-impact-biden-world-preps-for-hunter-biden-fallout-00095636 4:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) explained that he plans to hold a press conference on Wednesday where he will reveal bank records indicating that the Biden family may have taken money from foreign adversaries. 4:40pm- While appearing on PBS's Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss was critical of the “diversity mandates” adopted by the Academy Awards. Under the new rules, films must meet certain diversity hiring quotas in order to be eligible for the Academy's “best picture” nomination. 4:50pm- During an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, President Joe Biden insisted that his son Hunter “has done nothing wrong”—suggesting that he does not believe the Justice Department will charge him with any crimes. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. E.J. Antoni—Economist & Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's announced proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers. But what is the economic impact of this new policy?

Now, the Biden Administration's Energy Department is passing efficiency regulations that could impact dishwashers. 5:25pm- The Mystery Movie Clip 5:35pm- Rich breaks his microphone during a YouTube livestream…AGAIN! 5:40pm- Speaking with Shannon Bream on Fox News, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that the crisis at the U.S. southern border was “caused solely by policies put into place by Joe Biden.” Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot condemned Abbott for busing migrants to sanctuary cities—though, she also stated that the federal government needed to do more to stifle illegal border crossings. 5:50pm- Matt's mustache and Henry's mullet make appearances on The Rich Zeoli Show YouTube livestream. You can subscribe to the WPHT YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@1210WPHT 6:05pm- During Monday's White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed claims that there is a crisis at the U.S. southern border and explained the Biden Administration is doing everything it can—placing the blame for any border issues on Congressional inaction. 6:15pm- While appearing on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the Biden Administration has been preparing for the end of Title 42, and subsequent surge of migrant crossings at the U.S. southern border, for over a year. However, in the very same interview, conceded that migrant processing centers in Columbia and Guatemala won't be functional for several weeks. 6:35pm- A California reparations task force has approved payments of $1.2 million for each black resident to compensate for past discrimination and slavery. But during the meeting, activists argued that the amount paid per black citizen should be $200 million. 6:50pm- World Health Organization Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency…sort of…

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin present another KITM Under the Cloud special, which ain't so special anymore. There is no reward for reaching the 200th mass shooting of 2023. Presently, there is always the threat of being shot because taking lives has never been easier or more convenient. The Allen, Texas shooter didn't take the time to park his car. The Brownsville, Texas killer was too lazy to even use a gun.  Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott couldn't be bothered to think of anything new to say or plan to have anything new to do. They see massacres as natural disasters, “acts of God”, so let God fix it. In fact, why do anything if God will do it all for you?  Let's pray that the latest slaughter will bring an epiphany to those who can enact change. For now, however it is a civil war, but only with one side fighting it. Texas mass shootings are up 62.5% since they passed their permitless carry bill. President Joe Biden prepares to lift the debt ceiling onto his own shoulders. Republicans don't mind ruining everything, because it all seems to hurt Biden and help Donald Trump… at least in the short term, and isn't that always their plan? The short term is certainly how the media sees things, and certainly how they plan on seeing Trump, because who wants to hear about all that past unpleasantness? Wouldn't it be fun if Donald received a gag order the day of his town hall? At least eight of Trump's fake electors in Georgia accepted immunity deals in that grand jury investigation. Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes might get 25 years in prison. A lot of pigeons will be fighting for that stool.

Wayne Resnick and Jennifer Jones Lee accompany Bill for Handel on the News. The Allen, Texas mall shooter was removed from the Army over mental health concerns according to sources within law enforcement.

Lancaster says, “[t]he report alleges that since 2006, 103 federal agencies not contained within the Department of Defense (DOD) have collectively ‘spent $3.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment'…Of those 103 agencies, 27 are ‘traditional law enforcement [entities] under the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).'

As the report put it, ‘There are now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (186,000).'” https://reason.com/2023/05/02/why-do-federal-bureaucrats-need-so-much-firepower/ 3:40pm- David DeLugas—Executive Director of Parents USA—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the maddening story of Melissa Henderson, a mom from Georgia who was bizarrely arrested for allowing her 14-year-old child to babysit.
