Federalist Editors' News Preview, Week Of June 5
Tucker Carlson's new show, FBI contempt for oversight from elected representatives, and more
Tucker Carlson’s out with his first Twitter show episode, on the corruption and lies involved in the Ukraine war.
Contempt hearings will be held this Thursday after the FBI and Director Christopher Wray withheld an unclassified document from the House Oversight Committee. This document may suggest President Joe Biden’s involvement in a $5 million bribe scandal during his time as vice president, but after fraudulently investigating former President Donald Trump, the FBI only continues to subvert the truth.
Speaking of the FBI, a recent poll suggests more than 70 percent of participants believe wide-ranging reform is needed to prevent interference in future elections. Surprise! America is ready for agencies they can actually trust.
Joe Biden falls face-first during the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado Springs, Colorado after delivering a speech. The leftist media has of course rushed to his rescue, reassuring that Biden is “fine.” They may even blame you for your lack of sympathy – after all, you have no idea what it is like being the oldest president in history.
Megyn Kelly, a former Fox talk show host, recently delivered a monologue called “Why I’m Done With ‘Preferred Pronouns’” on her SiriusXM show. Yesterday, her corresponding article was published in National Review. She explains that preferred pronouns are “gateway drugs,” and she will no longer use them to perpetuate the destructive lies of transgenderism.
Ukraine continues to plan its spring counteroffensive against Russia. Vladimir Zelensky recently expressed confidence in Ukrainian success but also said they need time and resources before the push. He insists on American aid and defense systems, claiming that Ukrainian troops will fall to superior Russian air forces without it.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” makes $120.5 million at the box office during its weekend debut. It receives 8.4 out of 10 stars on IMDb and a rating of 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is also a breath of fresh air for the whole family – free from a pride month agenda while promoting conservative values.
Sam Brinton was arrested for his third criminal theft involving airport luggage. If you have lost any bags while traveling recently, be sure to follow Brinton in the coming weeks – he may just be wearing your missing wardrobe on his next TV appearance.
CNN’s coverage of global lockdowns resulted in viewer distrust, according to an internal survey. Before the lockdowns, 90 percent of U.S. poll participants were generally content with their lives, a record high in over 50 years. This rapidly changed by the spring of 2020, which conversely saw the lowest levels of national happiness and optimism in many decades. The Federalist was quick to call out lockdown groupthink and dangers from the beginning, and was censored heavily as a result, but pandemic accountability is still needed.
