Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Tom Garrett, representing Virginia's 56th District in the House of Delegates, Commonwealth of Virginia, former U.S. member of Congres, state senator and assistant attorney general for Virginia. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus. The conversation is focused on the following topics: ✅ President Donald J. Trump's notable moves in 26 days. The discussion tracks President Trump's biggest moves to reshape the federal government and address key reform issues including the promise to reduce taxation, and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency's work to address waste, fraud and abuse with a goal to reduce federal spending. The spotlight is placed on the waste, fraud and abuse within USAID, an agency with a budget of $40 billion. ✅ An update on Virginia as conservative legislators work to prevent more than $450 million in ‘deficiency fees' under the Virginia Clean Economy Act from being passed on to hard-working Virginia families. The fees are the result of a Virginia Clean Economy Act provision which penalizes utility companies if they don't sell enough power from solar and wind installations, as opposed to traditional power plants and carbon-free nuclear power. ✅ The future of the Middle East with President Trump's bold Gaza proposal being hailed as an out-of-the-box thinking and bringing to the region a fundamental paradigm shift to the decades' old status quo which has emboldened terrorist groups and undermined Israel's security and sovereignty. What is the message that President Trump is sending to Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia and the warning to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism? The Trump Administration strengthens America's partnership with Israel. ✅ President Trump's conversation with Russia's President Vladimir Putin with a goal to end the war on the European continent. Tom Garrett is one of the few American leaders who visited Ukraine and was just 12 miles from the Ukraine-Russia border meeting with Ukrainian military leaders on the frontline. ✅ Congressman Garrett is also bringing to the forefront the plight of the 70 million people and hundreds of millions more around the world facing persecution through the new documentary series “Exile.” The project is a collaborative endeavor with Matt Whitworth—the documentary filmmaker known for HBO's "The Swamp." *Exile | Official Trailer * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhPV5hsp22A Tom Garrett acquired his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Richmond, and began his service to our country with six years in the Army, becoming an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. Tom served the 5th District for two years before deciding not to seek reelection. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

House Republicans are laying the groundwork for sweeping tax cuts and deep spending reductions, unveiling a budget blueprint that would extend $4.5 trillion in Trump-era tax breaks while cutting $1.5 trillion in federal programs over the next decade. The plan, which also includes a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase, would shift funding away from social services—including Medicaid, education, and food assistance—while increasing spending on defense and border security. The Energy and Commerce Committee has been tasked with cutting $880 billion, while the Education and Workforce Committee faces a $330 billion reduction. At the same time, Trump's mass deportation initiative would receive a $90 billion boost, and defense spending would rise by $100 billion. With tensions mounting in Congress, the debate remains: Will these tax cuts and spending shifts stimulate economic growth, or will they deepen inequality and financial hardship for millions?

WMAL GUEST: 7:35 AM - INTERVIEW - BETSY DEVOS - former Trump Education Secretary  Betsy DeVos was at a roundtable with Speaker Johnson, Riley Gaines and others about men in women sports…  Female athletes rally in DC to garner support for protecting women in sports. Numerous female athletes and coaches are in Washington, D.C. this week for a series of events surrounding the Our Bodies, Our Sports “Take Back Title IX” Summer 2024 Bus Tour organized by a coalition of women's rights groups, including the Independent Women's Forum. The coast-to-coast tour is protesting the push for transgender athletes in women's sports and the Biden administration's rewriting of Title IX. Title IX, the landmark federal civil rights law enacted in 1972, prohibits sex-based harassment in any education programs and activities that receive federal funding. The new Biden administration regulations, which take effect Aug. 1, would protect against discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is hosting a round table discussion on Wednesday afternoon with Gaines, former U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, the Independent Women's Forum's Heather Higgins, and Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who is chairwoman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, in honor of this week's 52nd anniversary of Title IX.

Welcome back, one and all, to NABIP's Healthcare Happy Hour podcast. Earlier this week, the association submitted our response to a Request for Information, or RFI, from the House Education and Workforce Committee. The RFI focused on the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (much more commonly referred to as ERISA). In light of the law's 50th anniversary, the committee issued this RFI to stakeholders to see what areas surrounding ERISA that may benefit from new legislation to reflect how healthcare is delivered today, so it is crucial that NABIP be a part of this conversation. Additionally, this will be the final episode of the Healthcare Happy Hour hosted and produced by NABIP's Dan Parker. We will all miss “the Voice of NABIP,” who has been a staple of the podcast for the last few years – but we are also excited about what the future holds for the Happy Hour!

We sat down with Gresham Smith's Rodney Chester, Chair of the ACEC Workforce Committee, to discuss his plans for the new group.

Congressman Guy Reschenthaler— U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 14th Congressional District & House Republican Chief Deputy Whip—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Claudine Gay's resignation as President of Harvard University making her the shortest tenured president in the school's nearly 400-hundred-year history. Last month, Gay testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee. During one noteworthy exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Gay refused to say calls for the genocide of Jews is speech that is violative of the school's code of conduct. Gay also faces dozens of credible plagiarism allegations. Will this resignation have an impact on the radical leftist teaching agenda at America's oldest university? 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/02/2024): 3:05pm- Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows determined that the U.S. Constitution bars Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from appearing on the state's primary ballot—citing his involvement in riots outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. In her 34-page decision, Secretary Bellows accuses Trump of engaging in insurrection and, consequently, determines he is ineligible to hold office under the Fourteenth Amendment. Interestingly, despite calls from the Lieutenant Governor to “explore every legal option” to remove Trump from the ballot, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said the former president would remain on the state's primary ballot. 3:20pm- While appearing on CNN, David Axelrod—former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama—said “I do think it would rip the county apart if [Trump] were prevented from running because tens-of-millions of people want to vote for him.” 3:25pm- A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll indicates that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump currently has greater support within the Hispanic American community than does President Joe Biden—39% to 34%. In 2020, Biden won that demographic by 33%—65% to 32%.

Mays of The New York Times write: “Hundreds of migrants bound for New York City took a detour in New Jersey over the holiday weekend, in an apparent attempt to bypass a city order that seeks to limit the chaotic flow of arrivals…The surge in New Jersey arrivals appears to be an end-run around an emergency executive order last week by New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, requiring charter bus companies to provide 32 hours' advance notice of the arrival of migrants and restricting the times of day when they can be dropped off.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/01/nyregion/ny-nj-migrants-buses.html 3:50pm- According to a Fox News report, migrants who have entered the United States illegally are currently lined up in New York City to receive taxpayer-funded housing. New York City, which previously declared itself a “sanctuary city,” guarantees free housing to migrants. 4:05pm- Claudine Gay has resigned as President of Harvard University—making her the shortest tenured president in the school's nearly 400-hundred-year history.

Gay also faces dozens of credible plagiarism allegations. 4:15pm- In a recently surfaced video, former Director of the National Institutes of Health Dr. Francis Collins conceded that the federal government made mistakes with its public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He explains, “if you're a public health person…you attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy.” In November of 2021, Dr. Collins, who is now serving as an advisor to President Joe Biden, infamously performed “Somewhere Past the Pandemic”—an original song to the tune of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Rich, Matt, and Henry will find any excuse to play it. 4:35pm- On Monday, Rich appeared on Fox News to preview the 2024 presidential election. The clip went viral on social media, but Matt didn't include it on today's cut sheet! 4:50pm- Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows determined that the U.S. Constitution bars Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from appearing on the state's primary ballot—citing his involvement in riots outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/11/2023): 3:05pm- On Saturday, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned from her position following controversial statements she made during a U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee hearing. During one exchange with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked Magill if calls for Jewish genocide on campus would violate the school's code of conduct. Magill responded: “If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.” Rep. Stefanik then countered, “conduct meaning committing the act of genocide?” Melissa Korn of The Wall Street Journal writes, “Magill will stay on until an interim president is appointed, and afterward will remain a member of the law school faculty, according to a letter sent from board chairman Scott L. Bok.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/university-of-pennsylvania-president-resigns-amid-furor-over-comments-on-antisemitism-on-campus-658d74cd 3:30pm- Ellen Nakashima and Joseph Menn of The Washington Post report that, “[t]he Chinese military is ramping up its ability to disrupt key American infrastructure, including power and water utilities as well as communications and transportation systems… Hackers affiliated with China's People's Liberation Army have burrowed into the computer systems of about two dozen critical entities over the past year.” You can read the full article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/12/11/china-hacking-hawaii-pacific-taiwan-conflict/# 3:40pm- New York Times Bestselling Author & Contributing Editor at The Spectator Chadwick Moore joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Tucker Carlson's big announcement—the launch of his own streaming service, the Tucker Carlson Network.

Moore believes they will as fewer cable news consumers trust the content and narratives being pushed on television. You can find Moore's book here: https://www.tuckerthebook.com 4:05pm- Last week, 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. 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. Caleb Howe of Mediaite writes that “the Harvard Corporation, one of the two boards governing the Ivy League school, will meet Monday” to determine whether Gay should retain her position as university president.” You can read more here: https://www.mediaite.com/news/harvard-boards-reportedly-weighing-claudine-gays-mishandling-against-letting-elise-stefanik-win/ 4:15pm- On this weekend's episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher grilled university administrators for their selective support of freedom of speech. Has the creation of a revolving door between government and education impacted free thought and expression on college campuses? Has it generated a dangerous form of “group think” in which government officials leave the private sector, attain professorships, and push their agenda on the malleable minds of college students? For example, Penny Pritzker is the leader of the Harvard Corporation—she also served as the Secretary of Commerce in the Obama Administration. 4:40pm- In his latest piece at The Free Press, Stanford University Senior Fellow Niall Ferguson writes, “In 1927 the French philosopher Julien Benda published La trahison des clercs—'The Treason of the Intellectuals'—which condemned the descent of European intellectuals into extreme nationalism and racism. By that point, although Benito Mussolini had been in power in Italy for five years, Adolf Hitler was still six years away from power in Germany and 13 years away from victory over France. But already Benda could see the pernicious role that many European academics were playing in politics. Those who were meant to pursue the life of the mind, he wrote, had ushered in “the age of the intellectual organization of political hatreds.” And those hatreds were already moving from the realm of the ideas into the realm of violence—with results that would be catastrophic for all of Europe. A century later, American academia has gone in the opposite political direction—leftward instead of rightward—but has ended up in much the same place. The question is whether we—unlike the Germans—can do something about it.” You can read the full article here: https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-treason-intellectuals-third-reich 5:05pm- Dr. E.J. Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M.

Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley & a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Hunter Biden's Bluff and Gambit.” Plus, special counsel Jack Smith has requested the U.S. Supreme Court determine if Donald Trump's presidential immunity defense is legitimate, and whether it would make him immune from allegations that he attempted to subvert the 2020 presidential election.

Last week, George Santos became the sixth congressman in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives.

Though, he has not yet been found guilty of any crimes. Meanwhile, 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.

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.

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 Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/06/2023): 3:05pm- While speaking from the White House on Wednesday, President Joe Biden blamed Republicans for “holding Ukraine's funding hostage with their extreme partisan border policies.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) has said that any agreement to send tens-of-billions of dollars in additional aid to Ukraine would need to be accompanied with funding for security at the U.S. Southern border. During his speech, President Biden conceded that the U.S. suffers from a “broken immigration system,” though he did not mention the border specifically—despite thousands of migrants unlawfully entering the U.S. every day due to relaxed border security policies adopted under his administration. 3:20pm- Karoun Demirjian and Marc Santora of The New York Times write: “President Biden's urgent push to replenish Ukraine's war chest and send aid to Israel is on the brink of collapse in the Senate, where Republicans are prepared on Wednesday to block the funding unless Democrats agree to add strict measures to clamp down on migration at the U.S. border with Mexico. A classified briefing with administration officials called to shore up support devolved into a partisan screaming match on Tuesday afternoon, with Republicans angrily accusing Democrats of trying to steamroller over their demands for a border crackdown. Republican senators leaving the briefing said they were outraged that administration officials had refused to answer their questions about border security, which they said was a prerequisite for any plan to send emergency help to American allies.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/us/politics/ukraine-aid-zelensky-congress.html 3:35pm- During his speech from the White House on Wednesday, President Joe Biden claimed that “history will judge harshly those who turn their back on” funding Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression. 3:40pm- While briefly taking questions from the White House press, President Joe Biden denied that he ever had any interactions with Hunter Biden's business associates, or any involvement with foreign businesses. 3:50pm- While appearing with Sean Hannity at a town hall event in Iowa on Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he does not believe President Joe Biden will be the Democrat nominee for president in 2024—suggesting it will likely be California Governor Gavin Newsom or Vice President Kamala Harris. 4:05pm- At a campaign fundraiser in Boston on Tuesday, President Joe Biden told his supporters that he's not certain he would be running for reelection if it weren't for Donald Trump also being in the race—explaining that Trump is a threat to American democracy. 4:15pm- Brooke Singman of Fox News writes: “As vice president, Joe Biden used email aliases and private email addresses to communicate with son Hunter Biden and Hunter's business associates hundreds of times, new records released by the House Ways & Means Committee revealed. The committee obtained metadata from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler that reveals Joe Biden used alias email accounts 327 times during a nine-year period—2010 to 2019—to correspond with his son, Hunter, and one of Hunter's key business associates, Eric Schwerin, among others.

The Daily Wire co-founder, and star of the film, Jeremy Boreing explained that theaters won't touch the film because it pokes fun at biological males competing in women's sports. 4:55pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Donald Trump revealed that former U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) once revealed to him that then-Senator Joe Biden was considered the “dumbest” member of the U.S. Senate. 5:00pm- Jimmy Failla—stand-up comedian & Fox News Radio host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss University presidents defending anti-Semitism on their campuses while testifying before the House, and Joe Biden admitting that he's only running for reelection because he dislikes Donald Trump.

Should antisemitic speech be protected as free speech on college campuses in the U.S.? This is one of the questions the university presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania had to grapple with before the House Education and Workforce Committee yesterday. If Jewish students are afraid to go to class due to their peers' behavior, where should the line be drawn? On the Rundown, Attorney Mark Ressler, whose firm has filed two lawsuits against major universities over antisemitism on college campuses, discusses why his firm has taken action to address antisemitic speech on college campuses, how the university presidents testified before Congress, and his thoughts on why this seems to be happening more at Ivy League schools. Despite the Biden administration's continuous push for electric vehicles, the demand is steadily declining. The White House declared a goal to make two-thirds of all cars in the U.S. electric by 2030; however, reliable charging stations that these cars depend on are still few and far between. Wall Street Journal auto industry reporter Michael Colias joins to break down why the demand has dropped, explain why many people are hesitant to purchase an electric car and share why many fear the impact EV chargers have on the environment.

A Republican congressman is speaking out about how the Chinese Communist Party is influencing U.S. classrooms."Well, they come in, and they sort of soft-pedal their propaganda, but yet, they also whitewash history by eliminating Taiwan," says Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee's early childhood, elementary, and secondary education subcommittee.“You can't talk about Taiwan. You can't talk about Tiananmen Square. You can't talk about the Uyghurs. You can't talk about Tibet, the Dalai Lama—all these things that they are influencing and really trying to grasp the young minds of young students to say how great China is,” adds Bean, who was elected to Congress last November. Bean joins today's episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss a hearing his subcommittee held Tuesday, “Academic Freedom Under Attack: Loosening the CCP's Grip on America's Classrooms”; the Confucius Classrooms located throughout the U.S.; and what's at stake if the U.S. isn't able to counter the communist regime's influence in American classrooms.

He sits on the Oversight and Accountability Committee and is Chair of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. He also serves on the Education and the Workforce Committee and the Budget Committee.--Discussion began with Pride Month as June was a month where the Biden administration took the promotion of LGBTQIA- to levels never seen before.

Also, they realize that the more this gets pushed, the more people that adopt this lifestyle. In other words, it's being promoted in a positive fashion.--Representative Grothman covered a lot of ground as Jim had him comment on the following and much more including---The Equality Act -HR-15 - S-5- and whether he believes -the ship can be righted- on this issue. --The case of Christian web designer Lorie Smith.--The censuring of Adam Schiff.--The Biden family investigations.--Cocaine found at the White House.

Resources Full Color Future Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard On You?: A Memoir by George Clinton (Atria Books, 2014) News Roundup Net neutrality and media ownership caps: next steps Of course you've heard by now that the Republican-led FCC voted to repeal the 2015 net neutrality rules which classified ISPs as "common carriers". This classification brought them directly within the scope of the Commission's so-called "Title II" authority, which is the section of the Communications Act that deals with common carriers. The net neutrality rules banned ISPs from blocking, slowing down, or prioritizing speeds for content creators who can afford to pay for higher speeds, while keeping everyone else's in the slow lane. Those rules are gone now. However, the FCC did keep the so-called "transparency rule", which continues to require ISPs to be transparent about their network management practices. Still, the definition of "transparency" is subject to broad interpretation since there is no longer any underlying rules that say what ISPs are supposed to be transparent about. The FCC and FTC have said that they intended to pursue a Memorandum of Understanding which would define how the two agencies would work together to enforce net neutrality principles. But until that's done--there are no net neutrality rules--only unenforceable principles of net neutrality. So what are the next steps? Well, first off, the FCC is likely to get sued. The most obvious basis for any lawsuit would be the way in which the FCC considered public comments in this proceeding, or, should I say--did NOT consider public comments. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said last week that he would be suing the FCC for illegally rolling back the net neutrality rules. He points to the fact that there were millions of fake or fraudulent comments in the record. He also says that the Commission failed to hold public hearings. Schniederman says that repealing the rules "rewards the very perpetrators who scammed the system to advance their own agenda." Other states that are planning to sue include Washington, Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Delaware, Vermont, DC and Massachusetts. Advocacy organizations, like Free Press, have also expressed their intention to sue. The other route is legislation. Verge reporter Jacob Kastrenakes reports that Senate Commerce Committee Chair John Thune called on Congress last week to pass a new net neutrality law. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said that he would force a vote under he Congressional Review Act to preserve the net neutrality rules. Shannon Liao has excellent coverage of how all of this could play out in The Verge. The FCC also passed a notice of proposed rulemaking, in which it is exploring how the FCC might reduce the broadcast ownership cap. Currently, it is illegal for a single broadcast owner to reach more than 39% of the national market. This standard was set by Congress, and it was legislation that current Republican FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly worked on when he was a Legislative Assistant for former Republican New Hampshire Senator John Sununu. O'Rielly opposes raising the cap because he says the Commission doesn't have the authority to do so. However, he says that it is appropriate for the FCC to consider raising the cap, since it is unlikely that Congress will do so. John Eggerton explains in Broadcasting & Cable. We should also note that David Shepardson of Reuters reports that the FCC has voted behind closed doors to fine Sinclair Broadcasting $13.3 million for failing to disclose that it ran paid programming on some of its stations that was sponsored by a cancer institute. Sinclair's proposed acquisition of Tribune Media is still pending. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal calls for Comcast-NBC merger investigation U.S. Senator Richard Blumental wants the DOJ to revisit the Comcast/NBCU merger that closed back in 2011. The merger conditions Comcast committed to in exchange for the merger being approved are set to expire next fall. So Blumenthal is concerned that the market harms that some have already pointed to will get worse. He wrote a letter last week to U.S. Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim asking him to consider breaking up Comcast/NBCU or, at a minimum, to extend the merger conditions. Ted Johnson reports for Variety. NASA discovers 8th planet orbiting distant star With the help of Google's artificial intelligence neural network, NASA has identified an 8th planet orbiting a distant star called Kepler 90, which is about 2,500 light years away from us. The planet, which is called Kepler 90i, has a 14-day orbit and is rocky and hot, with a surface temperature of 800 degrees Farenheit. It is within the first solar system humans have discovered with as many planets as our own. Maya Wei-Haas has the story in Smithsonian. Twitter cracks down on hate speech Twitter began enforcing a new policy to crack down on white nationalist hate speech on Monday, suspending accounts linked to white nationalists. The new policy prohibits users from advocating violence against civilians. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. Former Uber lawyer alleges thatUber hacked and surveilled its competitors As you know, Uber, and Google parent company Alphabet's self driving car unit Waymo, have been embroiled in litigation. Waymo charges that a former employee took secrets back to Uber to help Uber develop its competing self-driving car. Well,  a new letter came to light last week, and it says that Uber hacked and surveilled its competitors to gain competitive insights in a way that went far beyond industry norms.  For example, the 37-page letter--dubbed Jacob's letter-- written by a former attorney to Uber's head of global intelligence, says that Uber collected the license, name and contact information of 35,000  drivers and used that information to entice them to work for Uber instead. The letter also states that Uber engaged in other less-than-savory practices as it spied on competitors. The letter was made public just days ahead of the trial that's set to commence in days. Jake Nicas reports in the Wall Street Journal. House releases answer to the Senate's Sex Trafficking bill The House of Representatives released its answer to the Senate's Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking Act last week. The House version, which is entitled the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, or FOSTA, would make it so that companies can no longer claim immunity from *state* laws for third-party content that promotes sex trafficking. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act only prevents such immunity from federal law. The House bill also prohibits ads that solicit prostitution. Jack Corrigan reports in Next.gov. Democrats push back on Disney/21st Century Fox merger Democratic lawmakers are calling for hearings on Disney's $52 billion bid for 21st Century Fox. Senator Amy Klobuchar is concerned about the merger's potential competitive harms. Representatives David Cicilline and Emanuel Cleaver want hearings as well. Tony Romm reports for Recode. Senator Brian Schatz warns about a lack of diversity in AI Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz--the top ranking internet subcommittee Democrat--scolded the tech sector for its lack of diversity at an artificial intelligence hearing last week. Schatz was particularly concerned about the lack of diversity among artificial intelligence development teams. He said that these teams are predominantly white and male and pointed to the potential for bias in setting up AI algorithms.  Ali Breland reports in The Hill. YouTube takes down Ajit Pai's 'Harlem Shake' video for 7 hours FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's video of himself doing the Harlem Shake to ease minds about repealing net neutrality didn't go over so well with DJ Baauer, who created the track. Bauer filed a copyright claim and YouTube took the video down for  7 hours.      In any case the video's back up but the ratio of dislikes to likes is some 24 to 1. with just 9,000 likes and 217, 000 dislikes. Sarah Jeong reports in the Verge.
