The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson spoke from Columbia University as anti-Israel protests continue to rage at several college campuses. Over the weekend, a Jewish student journalist at Yale University was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag, sending her to the hospital. Meanwhile, demonstrations at Columbia have become so vitriolic that the school has decided to move classes from in-person to an online format for the remainder of the semester—citing a fear for the safety of Jewish students. In audio dating back to 2001, shortly after the terror attacks on September 11th, current Columbia University President Minouche Shafik can be heard outlandishly calling terrorism “a form of protesting.” During his speech, Speaker Johnson called on Shafik to resign immediately.

6:10pm- According to reports, the anti-Israel protests have now spread to Harvard University—with an encampment being built in front of the school’s famous John Harvard statue. Matt explains that you never want to touch that statue…students urinate on it!

6:20pm- President Joe Biden will read anything off the teleprompter, including directions for him to “pause.”

6:40pm- On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package totaling $95.3 billion—with $60.8 billion earmarked specifically for Ukraine. The bill had passed in the House of Representatives on Saturday before being passed in the Senate with a vote of 79 to 18 Tuesday evening. The aid package also includes a measure that would force Chinese company ByteDance to sell its popular social media platform TikTok, within 6 months, to an American-based company—citing a current threat to national security. Refusal to sell TikTok would result in the app being banned in the United States.

6:45pm- Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) accused Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Republicans of surrendering on border security legislation by not including it in the $95.3 billion foreign aid bill, which President Joe Biden signed into law on Wednesday.
