The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: Christopher Tremoglie of The Washington Examiner writes: “It is 2023, and the phrase ‘Christmas tree' is still too offensive and triggering for the Democrats in Philadelphia's government. While we live in an era with Democratic political leaders expressing a cultlike devotion and rampant commitment to ‘inclusion,' the left-wing government officials who control the city purposely excluded the name Christmas from its annual tree lighting ceremony last week. Instead, the city referred to it as a ‘holiday tree' in press releases and advertising that promoted the event. But there's no such thing as a ‘holiday tree.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/philadelphia-refuses-christmas-tree-annual-lighting-ceremony Raphael Satter of Reuter writes: “Unidentified governments are surveilling smartphone users via their apps' push notifications…In a letter to the Department of Justice, Senator Ron Wyden said foreign officials were demanding the data from Alphabet's Google and Apple.

Last week, George Santos became the sixth congressman in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives. The House voted 311 to 114 in favor of removing him following numerous allegations of lying about his background and a 23-count indictment that includes allegations he “repeatedly, without authorization” charged donor credit cards—depositing funds into his own bank account. Though, he has not yet been found guilty of any crimes. Meanwhile, Rep.

Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Gay refused to say anti-Semitic speech was violative of the school's code of conduct—arguing that Harvard is an ardent supporter of free speech. In 2020, Rep. Stefanik was appointed to a Senior Advisory position with the Harvard Institute of Politics—however, because she was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during the 2020 election, the student body protested the appointment and Harvard ultimately fired her. So, the notion that Harvard is an ardent supporter of free speech is flawed—they seem to only support speech provided it gels with the popular progressive opinions of the moment.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/07/2023): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, Harvard University President Claudine Gay testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee. During one noteworthy exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Gay refused to say anti-Semitic speech was violative of the school's code of conduct—arguing that Harvard is an ardent supporter of free speech. In 2020, Rep.

So, the notion that Harvard is an ardent supporter of free speech is flawed—they seem to only support speech provided it gels with the popular progressive opinions of the moment. 3:30pm- During Tuesday's House Education and Workforce Committee hearing, University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill was asked if calls for Jewish genocide on campus would violate the school's code of conduct. She responded: “If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.” Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) noted, “conduct meaning committing the act of genocide?” According to CNN, the University of Pennsylvania board of trustees held an emergency meeting on Thursday to address Magill's disastrous testimony.

If Donald Trump loses the case, he could be fined up to $250 million and be prohibited from doing business in New York moving forward. Notably, in 2018, while campaigning to become Attorney General, James vowed to “sue” Trump—providing evidence to the defense's argument that this civil suit is entirely political. 3:40pm- While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, comedian Bill Burr said that by prosecuting former President Donald Trump “idiot liberals” have turned him into a “martyr.” 4:05pm- On Wednesday night, the Republican Party held its fourth Presidential Primary debate—featuring Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Chris Christie, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. During one notable exchange, Ramaswamy attacked Haley on her foreign policy positions explaining, “you can put lipstick on a Dick Cheney, it's still a fascist neocon.” 4:20pm- While appearing on CBS News, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said that she believes the government should avoid interceding in gender reassignment procedures for children. Should the government protect children against irreversible procedures even in the event the child's parent endorses the decision? During Wednesday night's Republican Presidential Primary debate Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked Haley for her response—exclaiming that the government should be protecting children from what ostensibly amounts to a form of child abuse. 4:30pm- During last night's debate, moderator Megyn Kelly hilariously asked Chris Christie why he remains in the presidential race when he seemingly has no pathway to victory according to all polling. 4:45pm- Following Wednesday's Republican Presidential Debate, an NBC News Meet the Press special featured a group of voters in Atlanta—18 of the 27 voters said they believed Donald Trump won the debate despite not even participating. 4:50- Could Chris Christie be on the verge of endorsing Nikki Haley for president? 5:05pm- Christopher Tremoglie of The Washington Examiner writes: “It is 2023, and the phrase ‘Christmas tree' is still too offensive and triggering for the Democrats in Philadelphia's government.

The leading approach is sure to fail: doubling down on the ideologies and practices that led to the pro-Hamas fever in the first place… The real issue on campuses isn't antisemitism but the anti-Western ethos that has colonized large swaths of the curriculum. Elite schools once disdained Jews because they were seen as outsiders to Western civilization. Now they are reviled as that civilization's very embodiment. Students explain that their hatreds come from what they learn in class—that the West is built on white supremacism and oppression. Israel is cast as the Western settler-colonialist oppressor par excellence.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/dei-drives-campus-antisemitism-harvard-ivy-ackman-israel-bds-b19ebd12?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 6:15pm- During Tuesday's House Education and Workforce Committee hearing, University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill was asked if calls for Jewish genocide on campus would violate the school's code of conduct.

Republicans claim their losses are because it's time to "abandon the issue of abortion." Wrong. Abortion isn't a losing issue: the messaging, the lack of financing and the activism are.

[00:30] Jeroboam vs. Antiochus (37 minutes) Joe Biden's polling numbers are disastrous, especially among the black community. Even the cofounder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island told Fox News that he is voting for Donald Trump. The next election is not a battle between Trump and Biden, but a battle between Trump and Barack Obama. The Washington Examiner pinned the blame for current Middle East chaos on the real culprit, Obama, in its latest cover article titled “It's His Fault.” As Hamas slowly releases the hostages taken on October 7, the media is claiming that the terrorist group treated them pretty well. [37:50] How Bad Is the Economy? (9 minutes) The Biden White House insists that the economy is improving. It is not. Reports from liberal and conservative media outlets prove that many Americans can barely feed or house themselves as the cost of living skyrockets. [47:00] Preparing for the 2024 Steal (8 minutes) Pennsylvania federal courts have ignored the rules for counting mail-in ballots, making it easier to cheat in the next election.

Durham College, a public college in Ontario, Canada, has disavowed the pro-Hamas comments of student Sahar Shehadeh. Her viral social media post shared how "very proud" of Hamas she was and how she "would love it" if they attacked Israel again.  White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby blasted leftists for claiming that Israel was committing a “genocide” against Palestinians inside Gaza, noting that Hamas was the genocidal entity, not Israel. Former troops are suing the U.S. government for lost pay and benefits due to the Biden administration's military vaccine mandate, one of the lawyers who successfully brought down the Anthrax vaccine told Breitbart News. PayPal quietly closed a Gaza fundraising account benefiting an Israeli-designated terrorist organization after facing pressure from a legal watchdog group, while the credit card processor Stripe launched an internal investigation into the same campaign, the Washington Examiner has learned. Pro-Palestinian protesters descended on the Yale Bowl on Saturday, but a few counter-protesters were also on hand. Though Newsom lacks the power to end capital punishment in California, he could take executive action to commute the sentences of the roughly 700 condemned awaiting execution in in the state—a death row figure that dwarfs those of all other American states. The House Republicans are inching closer to filing articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1953 a little-known political theorist Russell Kirk repurposed his doctoral dissertation as a book for publication.  His book, The Conservative Mind, would quickly become a bestseller, give the nascent conservative movement its name and intellectual moorings, be reviewed and debated in respectable publications across the country, and launch its author to international fame.   Seventy years later, the book is still going strong.  Now on its seventh edition and reprinted in multiple languages, The Conservative Mind is among the indispensable tomes for understanding the conservative movement.  In this episode, Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by Michael Lucchese to explore the enduring legacy of The Conservative Mind at seventy.   About Michael Lucchese   Michael Lucchese is the founder and CEO of Pipe Creek Consulting, a communications firm based in Washington, D.C., and a visiting scholar at the Liberty Fund.  Previously, he was a communications aide to U.S. Senator Ben Sasse.   He received a BA in American Studies at Hillsdale College and was a Hudson Institute Political Studies fellow and an alumnus of the Röpke-Wojtyła Fellowship at Catholic University of America's Busch School of Business.   His writing have appeared in multiple publications, including the Washington Examiner and National Review, Engelsberg Ideas, Public Discourse, and Law & Liberty.  Michael Lucchese is from Chicago, Illinois.   The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal Celebrates the 70th Anniversary of The Conservative Mind   In celebration of the 70th anniversary of Russell Kirk's landmark book, The Conservative Mind, the Russell Kirk Center cordially invites you to join them for a special evening event with a panel of emerging conservative thinkers: Adapting Conservatism for the Current Generation   The celebration will be held at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, December 5.   Reserve Your Tickets

(25:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's a bunch: Elon Musk's antisemitism, Brianna Keilar platforming Joe Lieberman and the No Labels Trump Stalking Horses, "Democrat" Dean Phillips circulates an endorsement by Matt Gaetz, and poor FBI Director Wray subjected to the stupidity of Marjorie Taylor Greene and the "Ghost Buses" of Clay Higgins. Who ya gonna call?

It's been a busy week. The largest pro-Israel demonstration to date takes place in Washington, DC, Nikki Haley comes out against the First Amendment and we follow the money on so-called charities that fund international terrorism.In our interview segments we talk to NewsMax anchor Tom Basile about the unravelling of America, from the zeal of the Covid lockdowns to how easily our youth have embraced terrorism and revolution in our streets. We also talk to Gabe Kaminisky of the Washington Examiner as he does another kind of unravellining - pulling the strings on who's funding the Palestinian protests. Shady "charities" and Communist China lead the way.Plus Dennis channels his inner Elsa - Let It Go!

On a recent Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson did not mince words about his support for a potential bid from former President Donald Trump to recapture the presidency. 'My endorsement for him is steadfast and unwavering,' asserted the Speaker from Louisiana during a conversation on CNBC's 'Squawk Box'. 'As a congressman, I stood alongside President Trump as one of his strongest allies.', Johnson added, expressing his admiration for Trump's accomplishments within the first two years of his presidency. 'We were part of orchestrating a robust period of economic growth that was unprecedented not just within our national confines, but on a global scale. This was facilitated by the successful implementation of the former President's policies. I am fervently supportive of President Trump.', Johnson expounded confidently. He went on to express his belief that Trump would eventually be the Republican nominee, leading to a potential shift in command, 'It is my firm belief that we need to guide this nation towards a single-term Biden presidency.' Johnson reiterated with conviction, ‘President Trump has my unyielding support and I believe he will emerge as our nominated candidate.

It is separate from the iconic Capitol building but is considered part of the Capitol complex. It is the oldest congressional office building on Capitol Hill. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who falsely accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital Tuesday, addressed the protesters. Fox 5 in Washington, DC, reported: A large group of pro-Palestinian protesters are demonstrating inside the Cannon Rotunda on Capitol Hill. The Cannon House Office Building holds the House Committee offices. U.S. Capitol Police say demonstrations are not allowed inside Congressional Buildings and are working to clear the crowd. Police have already detained some individuals as chants of “ceasefire” are echoing around the building. Left-wing protesters have staged demonstrations inside the Capitol before, but none have been treated the way participants in the January 6, 2021 protesters have been treated, many of whom were detained and given harsh sentences for non-violent offenses. The U.S. has seen anti-Israel protests in major cities and on college campuses since a Hamas terror attack Oct. 7 killed 1,400 Israelis and wounded roughly 4,400 more. About 200 people — including some Americans — were taken to Gaza as hostages. FBI Director Christopher Wray called the Capitol riot “domestic terrorism.” In this case, the pro-Palestinian protest is supporting terrorism against Israelis and Americans; a ceasefire would allow Hamas to escape without consequences for its atrocities. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/israel-war-harvard-columbia-students-lose-job-offer-law-firm Harvard and Columbia students lose law firm job offer for anti-Israel stance A major law firm has rescinded its offer of employment to three students at Harvard and Columbia law schools who endorsed statements that blamed Israel for a series of terrorist attacks by Hamas. The law firm Davis Polk notified employees in an internal email that the firm had withdrawn job offers to three students from Harvard and Columbia who had signed statements that blamed the Israeli government for the attacks by Hamas. The Columbia statement went further and said the attacks were justified acts of resistance. The attacks and the subsequent military response by Israel have claimed the lives of more than 4,000 people. “These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” the firm said in the email to employees. The firm's action is the latest example of students losing employment offers because of their support for the statement. Ryna Workman, a law student at New York University and the president of the student bar association, lost an employment offer from the law firm Winston & Strawn after supporting a statement that said: “Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life.” In addition to withdrawn job offers, other prominent figures have urged that the students be named publicly and face professional consequences. A number of the 31 student groups who signed the Harvard statement have since withdrawn their support for the statement. Billionaire Bill Ackman, a Harvard alum, asked that the names of the students who signed the statement be publicly released "so as to ensure that none of us inadvertently hire any of their members." Sweetgreen CEO Jonathan Neman echoed Ackman, saying, "I would like to know so I know never to hire these people." https://www.theblaze.com/news/sen-vances-new-bill-would-protect-mothers-who-exit-the-workforce-to-care-for-their-babies-from-undue-healthcare-costs Sen. Vance's new bill would protect mothers who exit the workforce to care for their babies from undue health care costs Republican Sens. J.D. Vance (Ohio) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) introduced legislation Tuesday that would ensure that mothers "who choose to prioritize their child's early development and recover rather than return to work" after giving birth won't be retroactively stripped of their health care premiums for having done so. Currently, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 requires covered companies with over 50 employees to give their workers 12 weeks of unpaid medical leave in a 12-month period for the birth of a child as well as in cases of adoption. Furthermore, it requires the "continuation of their group health benefits under the same conditions as if they had not taken leave." The bill, entitled "Fairness for Stay-At-Home Parents Act," would amend the FMLA to "prohibit an employer from recovering any health care premium paid by the employer for an employee if the employee fails to return to work due to the birth of a child, and for other purposes." In addition to preventing clawbacks, the legislation would have employers continue their health premium contributions for the duration of the 12-week leave. "Our laws should not penalize new parents who choose to stay home to care for their newborn babies," Vance said in a statement. "We should celebrate and promote young families, not punish them. This legislation would relieve a serious financial burden for working families all over America and steer Washington in a more pro-family direction." America appears to be in dire need of a "pro-family direction." The U.S. Census Bureau revealed in November 2022 that less than 24% of children under the age of 15 living in normal families had a stay-at-home mother. Only 1% had a stay-at-home father. The Pew Research Center indicated that as of 2021, 26% of mothers stayed home with their children and 7% of fathers stayed home with their children. According to the Mayo Clinic, over half of women return to work after their maternity leave. Not only are fewer people staying home to raise their children, but fewer Americans are having children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated in a June report that the provisional number of births in the U.S. for 2022 was just over 3.6 million, a decline from the previous year. The fertility rate was 56.1 per 1,000 women ages 15-44. This figure is roughly half of what the rate was in the 1960s and more or less on par with the rate in 2020, which was the lowest rate on record. The New York Times noted in 2018 that one of the key drivers behind Americans having fewer or no children is financial insecurity. A poll conducted by USA Today last year confirmed that was still the case. About 46% of respondents suggested their personal financial situation influenced their planned or current childlessness; 40% indicated work-life balance was at least partly to blame. The Washington Examiner noted that financial struggles hit parents straight out the gate. The national average cost of child delivery in a hospital exceeds $18,000, or $3,000 out of pocket for those with insurance. The 12-week reprieve that some parents might find as a result of Vance's bill could go a long way. "The Fairness for Stay-At-Home Parents Act supports mothers' and parents' invaluable role in raising the next generation," said Rubio, the original co-sponsor of Vance's bill. "This legislation stops employers from imposing harsh financial penalties if a parent decides not to return to work after unpaid leave, and it empowers families to make choices that prioritize the well-being of their children." Rubio, like Vance, appears keen on bolstering the family. Following the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling, Rubio released a pro-family framework, stressing the "need to adopt pro-life policies that support families, rather than destroy them." Among the proposals in the Florida senator's framework were an expansion to the child tax credit; an allowance for new parents to pull forward up to three months of their Social Security benefits to finance paid parental leave; tax relief for adoptive parents; expanded support for pro-life crisis pregnancy centers; and the establishment of a grant program funding integrated mentoring services for poor mothers. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Manhattan Institute's Brian Riedl prophesied to the Washington Post that Republicans would likely take a stronger lead on bolstering the family beyond just sparing the unborn from mass extermination. "I could see if Republicans decide that abortion politics are working against them, there could be a push for child-care benefits, more maternal health care, and better adoption services to make it easy and more affordable for more mothers to carry the babies to term," said Riedl. "It would put their money where their mouth is when challenged on making it easier for mothers to afford their children and get their health care." https://www.outkick.com/conor-mcgregor-no-charges-nba-finals-heat-sexual-assault-allegation/ CONOR MCGREGOR WON’T FACE CHARGES AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT DURING NBA FINALS Conor McGregor won’t face charges stemming from allegations he sexually assaulted a woman during the NBA Finals. McGregor was accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in the bathroom of Kaseya Center during a Heat/Nuggets NBA Finals game, and the UFC star always maintained he didn’t do anything wrong. Prosecutors have now decided there is “insufficient evidence” to pursue the situation further, according to TMZ. Authorities also cited “contradicting and/or no corroborating witnesses” as another reason for why no charges will be brought. “In light of the above facts and circumstances, the State would not be able to satisfy its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” prosecutors wrote in a closeout memo, according to the same TMZ report. The woman initially claimed security separated her from her friends to get her in a bathroom with McGregor, but video of the situation told a very different story. She was filmed entering the bathroom with McGregor on her own freewill, and nobody was forcing her to go anywhere. TMZ also reported she was seen at a club with McGregor AFTER they left the bathroom together where she alleged she was assaulted. An attendant outside the bathroom told authorities they “did not hear any signs of distress or sounds that would corroborate that whatever was occurring was not consensual.” McGregor’s attorney told TMZ, “After a thorough investigation, including a review of videos and interviews with eyewitnesses, the authorities have concluded that there is no case to pursue against my client, Conor McGregor. On behalf of my client, his family and his fans we are pleased this is now over.” The situation is now behind McGregor, and that means he can focus on getting back in the octagon.

This week, Meghan interrupts her regularly scheduled episode lineup for a visit from Ben Appel, a New York-based writer who's working on a book about ideological capture on college campuses. In 2016, Ben enrolled at Columbia University as a non-traditional student. Already in his 30s, he'd grown up in a cult-like Christian fundamentalist community that pelted him with homophobia; he considered himself firmly on the political left. But the politics he encountered on campus shocked him, especially many aspects of the Palestinian liberation movement. In this conversation, Ben describes what he encountered there, particularly in classes taught by famed Islamic scholars. In the bonus portion for paying subscribers, Ben stays overtime and talks about the ideas he explored in his 2022 viral Newsweek article, The New Homophobia. He and Meghan discuss the ways in which the new gender movement takes gay people and tries to fit them into a transgender box, all in the service of the same stereotypes that progressives spent so many years fighting. Guest Bio Ben Appel is a writer living in New York. His memoir, Cis White Gay: The Making of a Gender Heretic, with Bombardier Books, is forthcoming. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Spiked, Daily Mail, Washington Examiner, Queer Majority, and UnHerd. Follow him on Substack here. And follow him on Twitter (or X) here.
