Patel has defended making the trip to the Games in Italy, saying it was in part to help oversee Olympic security.

But critics say it's just the latest in a string of questionable uses of taxpayer funds.

Last year, Patel used a government jet to fly to a private hunting ranch in Texas, a Scottish golf resort, and to Pennsylvania, where his girlfriend, who's a country singer, was performing at a wrestling match.

And last question, on Wednesday the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced its list of nominees for 2026.

It's intended to be a measure of who has stood the test of time.

You're not even eligible until 25 years after the release of your first recording.

Unlike in previous years, where the Hall has been criticized for being very thin on nominations for women, this year there are a half dozen in the mix.

We're going to have you guess a few of them, but because these are huge artists with famous songs, we are going to play you the songs backwards.

No secret messages here, just trying to give you a challenge.

First one.

The answers, Pink with So What, Shakira with Waka Waka, and Mariah Carey with her holiday mega hit, All I Want for Christmas is You.

Bells, bells, we're trying to tell you something.

That is it for this week's news quiz.
