The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
- On Tuesday, NBC Nightly News aired a shocking report featuring former federal prosecutor and chief investigator of the January 6 Committee, Tim Heaphy. Heaphy stated that the federal government had prior warnings of the January 6th riot at the Capitol and were capable of preventing it from occurring had they taken the intelligence reports seriously. According to NBC anchor Lester Holt, “the January 6 Committee's final report was more than 800 pages, but some material did not make the cut, including much of its findings on the failures of federal law enforcement leading up to the attack.”
- The Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) has examined and subsequently denounced the New York Times’ reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion allegations.
- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) spoke with the National Archives on Tuesday. Rep. Comer claimed the National Archives told him they have no problem with complete transparency regarding President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents—leading Comer to conclude the lack of cooperation and openness is due to Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice.
- On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) met with President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss the debt ceiling and out-of-control federal government spending. Will McCarthy be able to negotiate a deal that Republicans can support? While appearing on Fox News, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik suggested that the federal government could save hundreds-of-billions of dollars by simply locating unspent COVID-19 funds.
