Description

On this episode of The Rich Zeoli Podcast, Rich breaks down a wild week in political news—starting with a shocker out of New Hampshire.

A brand-new early 2028 poll shows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leading the Democratic primary field in the Granite State. Paired with recent polling revealing that a majority of Democrats now say they favor socialism over capitalism, Rich asks the big question: Is the Democratic Party officially surrendering to the far left?

Then, Rich tackles the unfolding New Jersey election scandal and the incoming DOJ lawsuit. After state officials revealed thousands of noncitizens on state voter rolls, federal authorities are stepping in to demand immediate accountability and full transparency. Rich exposes the institutional incompetence that allowed it to happen—and why the mainstream media is trying so hard to downplay it.

Plus, WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham makes headlines by standing up for common sense and defending female athletes in women's sports. Rich reacts to her candid comments and the inevitable media backlash.

Finally, the talking heads are already obsessing over 2028, turning every policy debate into a hyped-up "Rubio vs. Vance" showdown. Rich cuts through the narrative spin to explain what’s really driving the friction behind the scenes.

It’s policy, politics, and no-nonsense commentary—stream the latest episode now!

Rich Zeoli dissects the expanding voter fraud scandal in New Jersey, where federal investigators now target hundreds of non-citizens who illegally cast ballots. We discuss how Governor Mikie Sherrill tried to dismiss 400 illegal votes as minor, even as state motor vehicle offices continue automatically registering non-citizens who get driver's licenses. Zeoli exposes how media pundits like Abby Phillip and politicians like Gavin Newsom deflect from documented non-citizen voting by pushing conspiracy claims about midterm election integrity. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Mike Lee discovered a procedural path using budget reconciliation to pass the Save America Act with 50 Senate votes, while House Democrats voted against stock trading bans just to block federal voter ID mandates.

Moving past Capitol Hill politics, we dive into RFK Jr.'s push at the Department of Health to expand public access to compounding peptides. Zeoli details how FDA bureaucrats try restricting health compounds like BPC157, driving health-conscious citizens toward unregulated black markets. We examine how prohibition logic fails across healthcare, comparing big pharma profit motives to historic underground medical movements. Rich also touches on foreign policy developments, including White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressing Saudi Arabia's nuclear capabilities amid ongoing military strikes in Iran.

Finally, Zeoli tackles Donald Trump's sharp warnings against socialist ideology during recent rally speeches. We analyze AOC heading to New Hampshire for political addresses, signaling her early preparations for a 2028 presidential run, alongside Rashida Tlaib proposing absurd citizen arrests against foreign leaders. We also react to viral clips of enthusiastic supporters mimicking Trump's hand gestures on stage. To wrap up, Rich shares fresh scientific data proving men multitask just as effectively as women by staying quiet under pressure.

Rich Zeoli dissects the massive voter registration scandal unfolding across New Jersey as the Department of Justice files suit over thousands of non-citizens placed onto official voting rolls. We examine how Governor Mikie Sherrill attempts to blame vendor software errors, while private contractor IDEMIA clarifies that state election officials hold sole responsibility for verifying voter eligibility. Zeoli reviews how former Governor Phil Murphy set this entire situation in motion by granting driver licenses to unauthorized individuals without proper safeguards. Democratic Assemblyman Jamel Holley calls for an immediate pause on DMV voter registrations, proving that concerns over election security extend far past party lines.

We turn our attention across the river as New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani steps back from promises to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, conceding that local officials possess zero authority to execute international warrants. Rich reviews CNN legal analysis showing how federal law prohibits municipal interference in national diplomacy. We also address absurd claims from Representative Jasmine Crockett, who bizarrely accuses international soccer fans of exhibiting racial bias during the World Cup. Meanwhile, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo unleashes criticism against progressive socialists, warning that utopian promises of free government programs undermine economic reality.

Zeoli analyzes newly released federal records exposed by Senator Rand Paul showing FBI intervention during a critical investigation. We detail how federal agents instructed Border Patrol officers at JFK Airport not to search or question EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak upon his return from China. We discuss how officials shielded individuals involved in gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Additionally, we check in on Capitol Hill hearings where Representative Brandon Gill presses the Smithsonian director on controversial institutional guidelines and classic cartoon characters.

Rich Zeoli opens today's discussion examining the claims from Governor Mikie Sherrill around illegals voting after ‘an error’ allowed them to register. In the same breath, she criticizes DJT for his stance on securing US elections. Then, we update you on Flock cameras and a recent victory against mass surveillance as camera networks drop plans to record audio of unsuspecting citizens without warrants.

Rich pivots to the political hypocrisy surrounding election security, reviewing past comments from Josh Shapiro and Kamala Harris. We expose how Democrats previously demanded paper ballots to prevent foreign intervention, yet now attack conservative security proposals. Zeoli addresses the outrageous harassment campaign at a South Jersey Starbucks where radical activists chased random people under the assumption they worked for immigration enforcement. We dissect Don Lemon's bizarre statements regarding political movements and analyze clips of DNC figures openly backing radical agendas.

We examine the rising anti-capitalist rhetoric spreading through high-profile politicians like Gavin Newsom and AOC. Zeoli reveals how party leaders actively abandon free market principles to appease radical factions within their base.

Rich Zeoli analyzes the escalating civil war inside the Democratic Party as radical candidates push to remove establishment leaders across the country. We examine the Michigan rally where Bernie Sanders, AOC, and progressive organizers openly celebrate victories against party bosses like Chuck Schumer. Zeoli details how far-left candidates target battleground states and what this shift means for upcoming elections. We also look at AOC's latest statements regarding government institutions and how radical factions are altering the party agenda.

Rich shifts focus to glaring media double standards regarding election security warnings. We review how major news networks previously praised figures like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris for raising election machine concerns, yet dismiss similar reports when brought forward by conservative leadership. Zeoli discusses declassified intelligence regarding foreign interference capabilities from China and questions why mainstream news outlets refuse to apply equal scrutiny. Later in the broadcast, we discuss Christopher Nolan's recent television appearance discussing his adaptation of The Odyssey, while Jared shares his wild experience watching the film in 4D.

Zeoli reviews the growing surveillance state as communities across America push back against license plate reading flock cameras.

Description: On this episode of The Rich Zeoli Podcast, Rich dives deep into the blatant double standards of the modern political machine.

First, President Trump takes the stage to address the massive push for election security—but the media reaction is entirely predictable. Rich rewinds the tape to look at Hillary Clinton’s years-long claims about Russian interference in the 2016 election. If claiming an election was compromised is the ultimate sin, why were her claims celebrated as "resistance" while Trump's are instantly branded as dangerous conspiracy theories? Rich breaks down the mainstream media’s selective outrage.

Then, we shift from political battlegrounds to cinematic triumph. Rich reacts to the highly anticipated new film I Play Rocky, sharing how the legendary backstory of Sylvester Stallone’s real-life grit, unwavering determination, and refusal to sell his script without starring in it remains the ultimate American inspiration.

Finally, things get weird. Rich turns his attention to the absolute circus surrounding the Maine Senate race. From the bizarre candidate posturing to the sheer absurdity of the campaign trail, Rich asks the question we’re all thinking: Are we actually living in a real-life, continuous Saturday Night Live simulation?

Politics, culture, and a heavy dose of daily chaos—this is an episode you don't want to miss!

Rich Zeoli breaks down the massive waves following Vice President JD Vance's appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. We check out the stark claims that specific foreign elements are running a well-funded operation to destroy the current diplomatic path with Iran. Zeoli tracks the fallout from Vance tying intelligence operations to senior foreign leaders, while also examining past executive messaging blunders concerning sensitive documents. We see distinct paths forming for the 2028 cycle as contrasting foreign policy ideas divide prominent figures within the movement.

Moving over to Capitol Hill, the show reviews the intense scrutiny hitting institutional leaders during oversight hearings. Rich details the exact moments prosecutors faced questioning from lawmakers like Senator John Kennedy regarding the tracking of network participants. We also look at the weird questioning from Senator Mazie Hirono, who reads standard administrative text with a total lack of familiarity. Zeoli switches gears to challenge local institutional corruption in Harrisburg, where state watchdogs report that the legislature continually acts to stall transparency measures while taxpayers pay the bills.

We tackle the ideological shifts inside major educational systems after medical school administrators faced a grilling over unusual classroom guidelines. Rich shows how modern curriculum frameworks push students away from biological terms toward specific language mandates. We laugh about the latest public opinion statistics outlining the instant judgments tied to specific names like Karen and Chad. Zeoli closes out the discussion by focusing on Donald Trump's massive industrial manufacturing push in Pennsylvania, which promises thousands of blue-collar jobs back to local shipyards.

Rich Zeoli analyzes the massive revelations surrounding Jack Smith and allegations that he lied under oath regarding the surveillance of lawmakers' communications. We look closely at statements from Senator Rand Paul and Senator Rick Scott confirming that the text messages of dozens of members of Congress were targeted. Zeoli sounds the alarm on this executive overreach and what it means for the privacy of regular citizens if the Department of Justice continues down this track.

We scrutinize the absurdity of local government control as trash inspectors in Sacramento begin checking residential bins to lower emissions. Rich details how this drive for compliance extends to smart thermostats, vehicle kill switches, and the political profiling of credit card spending. We also analyze the radical agenda put forward by the Democratic Socialists of America, who openly advocate for altering the framework of the constitutional republic by getting rid of the Senate entirely.

The conversation shifts to big tech platforms hiding reports on major candidate controversies until their polling numbers drop against incumbent senators. Zeoli reacts to Justice Amy Coney Barrett's chilling testimony regarding the safety threats, swatting incidents, and intimidation tactics targeting Supreme Court families. Finally, we examine the positive steps toward expanding nuclear energy capacity in New Jersey, contrasting it with foolish blockages on data infrastructure in neighboring states.

Plus, The Sunshine Protection Act passed the house of representatives. It now faces an uncertain future in the United States Senate. Whether you are for permanent daylight saving time or permanent standard time, Rich explains why if the bill doesn't pass now, it may never see the light of day again.

Rich Zeoli targets the shocking suppression of democracy happening right now in Maine, where a group of 601 party insiders plans to handpick the next nominee for the United States Senate. We analyze how the establishment completely pushes aside 320,000 registered voters following the sudden exit of their previous candidate, Graham Plattner. Zeoli reviews the statements from executive director Devon Murphy Anderson, pointing out the pure hypocrisy of an organization that constantly complains about voter suppression while running a highly restricted, closed-door convention. We break down the absurd 13-page rulebook that dictates delegate selection metrics, showing how the institutional left constructs complex voting protocols rather than simply trusting the public ballot box.

Moving from backroom political maneuvering to local community issues, we celebrate a rare moment of common sense in Pennsylvania as a bipartisan bill secures mandatory recess for children. Rich praises the effort to keep kids playing outdoors, contrasting it sharply with left-wing attempts to eliminate traditional snow days. We look into a recent Wall Street Journal feature discussing why men find such immense fulfillment in cutting their own grass, while also laughing at radical social media personalities who claim manicured backyards promote historical supremacy. The show tracks how teaching children true effort through lawn care builds real independence, ignoring the bizarre theories floating around the internet.

Zeoli shifts focus to Washington, where the Sunshine Protection Act heads toward a critical floor vote backed by Donald Trump. We propose a clean 30-minute time modification to settle the national debate once and for all, while tracing the irritating origin of seasonal clock management back to the failed presidency of Woodrow Wilson. Additionally, we analyze Marco Rubio's powerful stance against the International Criminal Court, exposing how international bureaucrats threaten foundational American sovereignty. Finally, we look at the viral primary race in Michigan featuring Haley Stevens' bizarre campaign performance, check our growing position on the international podcast charts, and pay a meaningful final tribute to a beloved listener.

Rich Zeoli opens the broadcast addressing the sudden passing of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham due to a severe cardiovascular condition. We analyze the wild poisoning rumors spreading across social media following Graham's recent trip to Ukraine, parsing through the official medical examiner reports to separate fact from speculation. Zeoli also updates listeners on reaching the eight-week milestone of his own open-heart surgery recovery. Later, we react to a highly unusual proof-of-life photograph released by Mitch McConnell holding a newspaper after recovering from a recent fall.

The conversation shifts to media rhetoric on the two-year anniversary of the Butler assassination attempt against Donald Trump. We break apart the latest mainstream media election denial as Rosie O'Donnell surfaces on CNN with Jake Tapper to make the baseless claim that Kamala Harris won the presidency. Rich details how networks allow these bizarre claims to air without any pushback from anchors. We also examine the newest disclosures from the White House UFO council as Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb reveals that the government remains completely baffled by mysterious aerial orbs.

We bring attention to a massive national security and immigration showdown as Secretary of State Marco Rubio steps in to deport a convicted criminal who had received a controversial pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Rich details the legislative battle brewing in Texas as Attorney General Ken Paxton demands a special session to turn birth tourism into a felony. Finally, we witness Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed attempt to explain away his past defund-the-police statements during a contentious network interview.

Rich Zeoli dissects the sudden exit of Graham Plattner from the Maine Senate race and analyzes the political fallout. We look at the blatant manipulation from the Democratic establishment, who fully supported a flawed candidate until his poll numbers dropped. Zeoli showcases how corporate media outlets protected Plattner from serious accusations until the party bosses decided he can't win. We expose the hypocrisy of political talking heads who claim to believe all women but quickly attack any accuser targeting a member of their own party.
The conversation shifts to Rich's recent appearance on Fox News, which sparked widespread coverage across major political blogs. Zeoli details his heated exchange with a progressive strategist who tried to deflect from the Maine scandal by bringing up unrelated congressional campaigns. We examine how the media uses deflection tactics to confuse voters when their preferred candidates face scrutiny. Additionally, we touch on a massive nationwide food safety recall involving a popular fast-food chain dealing with a parasite outbreak.
Finally, we examine the path forward for Senator Susan Collins as the party machinery in Maine scrambles to select a replacement candidate. Rich explains the closed-door process that party bosses use to handpick nominees without input from primary voters, drawing direct parallels to recent national nominations. We also dissect recent comments from progressives trying to redefine public services as forms of socialism. We close out the broadcast by analyzing a funny news report about a media personality trying to talk her way out of a traffic citation, and we celebrate a special milestone birthday for the host's father.

Rich Zeoli details the absolute chaos engulfing the Democratic Party in Maine as current Senate nominee Graham Plattner faces intense pressure to withdraw before the fast-approaching July 13th deadline. We look at how party leadership stood by Plattner through a multitude of horrifying revelations—including a Nazi tattoo and previous sexual assault allegations—only to cast him aside the moment internal polling showed him losing to Republican Senator Susan Collins. Zeoli reviews the intense backroom maneuvering as former State Senate President Troy Jackson files campaign paperwork to jump into the race, instantly gaining a five-point advantage over Collins in recent polling data.

We expose the utter double standards on display from prominent left-wing figures like Bernie Sanders and Sonny Hostin, who completely abandon their historical rhetoric about believing victims when it threatens a crucial Senate seat. Rich compares Sanders' current tepid statement to his explosive 2018 floor speech during the Kavanaugh hearings, revealing the sheer political maneuvering taking place behind the scenes. Additionally, Zeoli and Jared dissect the frustrating realities of tech algorithms that force commentators to censor basic language just to report on a major federal election.

Shifting gears, we react to a viral clip out of Torrington, Connecticut, where a heroic family husky steps directly between a young child and a black bear. Rich mocks the local wildlife as weak and privileged compared to the aggressive predators roaming South Jersey. Finally, Zeoli covers major foreign policy news as Donald Trump officially declares the ceasefire agreement with Iran completely finished, warning of severe military action if the critical flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz faces any disruptions.

Rich Zeoli breaks down the spectacular meltdown of Maine Democrat Senate nominee Graham Plattner as his party rushes to replace him before the looming July 13 deadline. We look at the bombshell Politico report detailing shocking sexual assault allegations that mainstream reporters tried to bury for weeks. Zeoli reveals how party bosses knew about the candidate's toxic history, his Nazi tattoo, and his fraudulent background all along but chose to hide the facts until his polling numbers cratered. Now, high-profile figures like Ro Khanna are rapidly withdrawing endorsements in a desperate attempt to protect their own power.

We shift focus to the internal civil war gripping the national party as Kamala Harris actively courts far-left radicals for a potential 2028 presidential bid. Rich exposes a quiet effort by Harris to build ties with New York socialist Zora Mamdami and anti-Israel activists from the Uncommitted Movement in Michigan. Zeoli explains that the establishment is completely terrified of losing their radical base, which is why party bosses continually bypass primary voters to handpick compliant candidates behind closed doors.

Later in the broadcast, we dissect a stunning economic shift as global liquor sales plummet because younger generations refuse to go out or date. Zeoli examines a Wall Street Journal report comparing booze companies to the decline of big tobacco, noting how lifestyle choices leave historic distilleries in massive jeopardy. Plus, we mock the corporate media mouthpieces who continually make excuses for corrupt politicians right up until the exact moment they become a political liability.

Rich Zeoli discusses the intense international soccer drama hitting the World Cup right before the big match against Belgium. We analyze how President Donald Trump stepped in to request a review of the unfair red card given to an American player, sparking instant outrage from European elites and left-wing media outlets. Even though liberal news stations originally agreed the penalty was a complete mistake, they flipped their positions the moment Trump got involved. We expose this ridiculous hypocrisy and look at how soccer became the latest political battleground.

Next, Zeoli tackles the exhaustion sweeping the nation after left-wing politicians ruined Independence Day with endless lectures. Rich evaluates the painful holiday messages from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who used a day of unity to complain about the nation's history and push their future presidential goals. We also examine the extreme statements from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and radical socialists who are successfully taking control of the main party line. From demands for court-packing to calling for completely open borders, the party's extreme base forces moderate members to surrender to far-left policies.

Finally, we look at a concerning trend showing that citizens talk face-to-face far less than they did in the past. Rich points out that tech companies profit when people stay glued to screens instead of speaking with neighbors. To make matters worse, Hillary Clinton wants sweeping government rules to monitor internet posts and suppress independent debates. We wrap up the conversation with a bizarre news item about a fitness influencer restricted from a Lufthansa flight because workers claimed her gym wear was too revealing.

In this episode, we break down the biggest lies told about America, why public education is really about indoctrination, and why socialism and communism are so popular with young and black voters. What is the difference between socialism and communism anyway? 

Finally, Rich explains why he believes socialist kooks winning local elections will help Republicans win nationally. As he says, bring on the commies!

Rich Zeoli breaks down the massive victory for Second Amendment rights at the United States Supreme Court today. We look at the six-to-three decision in Walford v. Lopez, which strikes down a restrictive Hawaii law banning concealed carry on private property open to the public. Zeoli explains how blue states keep trying to circumvent past rulings like Bruen, only to watch their unconstitutional workarounds fail under historical scrutiny. We expose the bizarre defense strategy where Hawaii lawyers attempted to use post-Civil War discriminatory codes to justify their current firearm restrictions.

Next, we dissect the shifting power dynamics within the political establishment as Zora Mamdani secures a massive primary sweep in New York City. Rich argues that the political left is finally dropping its long-held progressive mask to reveal its true socialist core. We discuss how pro-Israel incumbents like Dan Goldman face swift defeat not because of standard economic policies, but due to a growing wave of anti-Israel sentiment taking over the voting base. Zeoli analyzes clips from major media panels discussing whether this insurgent machine is completely replacing legacy leadership.

We also react to wild media appearances from newly victorious far-left candidates like Darieliza Avila Chevalier, who fails to give a straight answer about her deleted social media posts targeting Joe Biden. Rich checks in on House leader Hakeem Jeffries as he visibly squirms in the hallways when questioned about his past statements regarding the future of his party. Finally, we share some lighter moments about preparing for an upcoming World Cup soccer game trip with family and checking stadium rules.

Rich Zeoli targets the shocking results of the New York primary elections where far-left candidates secured major victories. We analyze the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as Zohran Mamdani cements his status as a political kingmaker heading toward 2028. We examine the radical platforms of these newly elected figures, such as Darlisa Avila-Shavarier, who opposes deporting undocumented individuals even after they commit violent crimes, erroneously claiming it constitutes double jeopardy. Zeoli tears into these legally flawed arguments using classic mafia analogies, proving that deportation is a matter of sovereignty, not dual prosecution. Additionally, we look at another Mamdani-backed winner who blamed the tragedy of 9-11 on American capitalism and white supremacy, a claim Rich completely dismantles by pointing out the historical reality of global politics.

The show transitions into the intense civil war currently splitting the Democratic Party as moderate voices find themselves completely pushed out. Zeoli details how Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman went on television to slam the far-left faction, only for Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner to fire back by labeling Fetterman as "MAGA". We point out that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries seems completely detached from his own caucus, while figures like AOC quietly rack up massive institutional power. Meanwhile, we look at California Congressman Ro Khanna as he desperately tries to dance with the far-left for political survival, even as Vice President Kamala Harris feeds into their radical agenda by openly backing a Supreme Court packing scheme. Far-left candidates like Maine's Graham Plattner are open about transforming the legal system, leaving establishment figures relying entirely on superdelegates to salvage their 2028 prospects.

Zeoli exposes the hilarious and pathetic priorities of corporate media outlets. We review a stunning study from the Media Research Center showing that liberal cable networks spent nearly seven hours obsessing over the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool turning green with algae. CNN led this bizarre coverage, treating a standard summer algae bloom like a national emergency just to take snide swipes at the country. To wrap up the show, we laugh at the absurd story of a JP Morgan Chase DEI executive who was caught on video stealing a New York Knicks-themed public trash can. Rich and Jared dissect the hilarious C-suite reaction to this blatant theft, which handed the corporation a perfect excuse to safely remove her from her bloated position without facing a wrongful termination lawsuit.

Rich Zeoli analyzes the urgent political battle lines as the president visits a Pennsylvania Mack Truck facility to secure support from vital working-class voters right before the midterms. We look closely at the controversial 60-day Iran peace talks managed by Qatar, which aim to drop gas, food, and fertilizer prices across the nation. While critics express skepticism about trusting funds near hostile regimes, Vice President JD Vance clarifies that any unfrozen assets must buy American soy, corn, and wheat, protecting our agricultural sector while ensuring national security stability.  

The radical left continues its descent into absolute parody as representative Ro Khanna panics over a defamation threat from Elon Musk. Zeoli exposes how Khanna falsely accused Musk of sentencing millions of children to death via DOGE spending cuts, only to immediately backtrack into demanding a podcast debate. Meanwhile, wealthy progressives face handcuffs after defacing the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, prompting corporate media pundits to insanely compare basic monument protection to Mussolini-style authoritarianism.  

We dissect the total meltdown of progressive sanity from Europe to California. Rosie O'Donnell surfaces from Ireland to spread wild conspiracy theories claiming Kamala Harris actually won the election, with zero pushback from corporate media anchors. Additionally, we analyze Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro attempting to rewrite history by calling his party the champions of medical freedom, completely ignoring the brutal vaccine card mandates that restricted everyday citizens and children from public venues during COVID.

Rich Zeoli opens the broadcast by dissecting the immediate left-wing panic surrounding the American electoral system. We analyze why prominent political figures are suddenly demanding the elimination of the Electoral College right after losing both the popular vote and the critical swing states. Zeoli explains that this coordinated push directly correlates with the upcoming 2030 census data, which projects a massive population migration away from high-tax blue states and directly into red states. This structural shift will strip electoral power away from traditional progressive strongholds, forcing them into a desperate scramble to alter the structural rules of our elections before the 2032 cycle.

Our show shifts focus to the growing internal division between potential presidential contenders as Kamala Harris launches a highly ambiguous national listening tour. While Harris delivers confusing public comments about inner light and societal debris, California Governor Gavin Newsom faces a devastating economic critique from unexpected mainstream media sources. We unpack a recent cable news broadcast exposing how California failed to generate net private sector jobs, causing working-class industries in Hollywood to face a slow-motion collapse. Rich contrasts these executive policy failures with the left's current strategy of manufacturing a corporate villain out of Elon Musk to distract voters from real economic struggles.

We also confront the staggering hypocrisy regarding current legislative campaigns and institutional values. Rich details how national party figures like Senator Cory Booker are actively supporting a highly problematic Senate candidate in Maine despite troubling personal allegations and controversial tattoos. This desperate drive to protect legislative majorities perfectly mirrors a broader ideological shift within their voting base. Zeoli references newly released tracking data demonstrating that free-market capitalism is actively crashing while democratic socialism surges in popularity among progressive voters. Finally, we laugh at the sheer absurdity of modern environmental activists wearing inflatable costumes to harass National Guard members at the National Mall.

On this episode of The Rich Zeoli Show, Rich breaks down a monumental parting gift from outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. On her final day in office, Gabbard dropped a massive cache of declassified files targeting Dr. Anthony Fauci—alleging he funded dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and used deep-state connections to manipulate intelligence on the pandemic’s origins. Rich dives into the documents and asks: when will Fauci face real accountability for misleading Congress under oath?

Meanwhile, the foreign policy landscape is shifting by the second. Rich details the chaotic state of Middle East diplomacy as crucial U.S.-Iran peace talks in Switzerland were abruptly postponed following a fierce flare-up of violence between Israel and Hezbollah. While an uneasy ceasefire has been put back on the table, President Trump is warning that Iran gets "not ten cents" during the 60-day negotiation window. Rich analyzes the precarious tightrope the administration is walking with Tehran and what it means for global security.

Rich looks at the domestic political landscape as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) continue to embed themselves in deep-blue strongholds, extending their reach directly into the nation's capital. With the DSA claiming a string of progressive victories, Rich warns about the long-term economic consequences of a movement aimed at radical restructuring moving from the fringes to the center of local governance.

Description:

On this episode of The Rich Zeoli Podcast, Rich breaks down the strategic political and economic calculations surrounding energy prices ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Rich argues that an Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a necessary lever to immediately lower soaring oil prices—a move he views as essential for a Republican victory. Addressing conservative skeptics, Rich clarifies that an MOU is not a formal treaty, meaning it can be easily altered or unwound down the road. We also take a close look at how the global energy markets are reacting to the shifting diplomatic signals.

Plus, Rich dives into the chilling security news out of Washington, D.C., following the arrest of an illegal immigrant identified as the ringleader in a foiled mass-casualty terror plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House.

Finally, Andrew Giuliani, Executive Director of the White House FIFA Task Force, joins the show to discuss the massive security infrastructure protecting the ongoing 2026 World Cup. Giuliani addresses the strict travel and visa protocols surrounding the Iranian national team, responding to complaints about their rapid post-match departures and detailing exactly how the U.S. is balancing international sports diplomacy with rigid national security.

Rich Zeoli analyzes the recent international developments at the G7 meeting where a prospective agreement regarding Middle Eastern security is taking shape. We look closely at how a background in property management alters traditional foreign policy, as the president treats international borders like neighborhoods requiring commercial development to reduce violence. While this perspective stresses commerce as a path to prevent conflict, regional experts and legislative figures oppose allowing oil exports to resume. We discuss the tense interactions surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu and the delicate balance required to maintain shipping safety in the Strait of Hormuz.

Zeoli switches focus to international speech restrictions after British officials pass a total communication ban for individuals under sixteen. We review statements from Elon Musk regarding how these policies force identity collection across entire tracking systems. The team contrasts these foreign regulations with attempts by local politicians to monitor speech. Additionally, Rich evaluates remarks from Hillary Clinton regarding previous election strategies and her belief that alternative candidates would alter the current executive structure.

We look at the federal scrutiny surrounding the family of the California governor following whistle-blower statements regarding nonprofit entities. Zeoli reviews a CNN report explaining that tax concerns drive this inquiry rather than executive tracking or political retaliation. Finally, we detail security reports from JD Vance about defensive layers at public events, alongside an absurd political staging incident in Chicago where local leaders misstate the facts of a clear fraud.

Rich Zeoli begins the show by analyzing the latest updates surrounding the Iran memorandum of understanding. We discuss the urgency of getting gas prices down ahead of the midterms and examine why the administration is pushing to finalize this deal. Zeoli shares his perspective on why it is vital to avoid internal conflict within our ranks while acknowledging that others hold different views on how to handle the Iranian regime. We also spend time looking at the details of the agreement, specifically the proposed infrastructure funding and the broader goal of incentivizing better behavior from Iran.

We then shift our focus to JD Vance's recent appearance on "The View." Rich breaks down why it is crucial for our side to show up in hostile environments and challenge the narratives presented on daytime television. We talk about how Vance maintained his composure and effectively pushed back against questions regarding affordability and the administration’s policies. Zeoli emphasizes that despite the difficult nature of that show, engaging with that audience is a required part of the battle for November.

Finally, we analyze the current political climate as we look toward the midterm elections. Zeoli brings in data from CNN’s pollster to illustrate why the political standing of Democrats may be more precarious than many realize. We discuss how successfully resolving international issues could lead to lower energy and food costs, ultimately putting Republicans in a strong position to maintain the majority in both the House and the Senate. We wrap up by highlighting the importance of staying focused on the economic issues that truly matter to the American people as the election approaches.

Rich Zeoli is back in action just four weeks after major heart surgery, feeling better than ever after a quick morning trip to New York City. We analyze the complete freak-out from political opponents over the recent fight match hosted on the White House lawn. While the administration celebrates, the opposition stages a bizarre counter-talent show featuring a chaotic lecture from Robert De Niro. Zeoli rips into De Niro for reading scripts poorly and relying on constant obscenities rather than substantive arguments, demonstrating how political figures attempt to copy a specific populist style but end up sounding like terrible cover bands.

We look at the growing insanity coming out of municipal offices, as Boston Mayor Michelle Wu links White House ballroom renovations directly to demands for youth medical procedures. Zeoli questions how checking monument conditions somehow prevents other fiscal choices, showing how far off-track mainstream opposition messaging drifts. Meanwhile, massive global shifts happen as President Trump attends the G7 summit in France to finalize a monumental peace understanding with Iran that opens the Strait of Hormuz and causes crude values to slide. On top of that, we react to prestigious California universities reducing academic requirements because modern students are unable to handle full books, a direct result of public unions lowering standards.

Rich breaks down the predictable attacks against wealth as senators target Elon Musk for creating thousands of prosperous employees through space ventures. We witness supreme media deflection when Senator Raphael Warnock shamelessly plugs his latest publication on television to evade urgent questions about a highly controversial candidate in Maine. Over in New Jersey, Governor Mikie Sherrill receives heavy criticism for a total breakdown in train transit during international soccer events while focusing entirely on filmed self-promotion. Finally, we expose the completely fabricated online messages that partisan commentators spread regarding Eric Trump, which athlete Daniel Cormier quickly disproves after an internet hack.

Rich Zeoli analyzes the escalating military conflict as the United States launches missile strikes against Iran following the downing of an American helicopter. We review how this ongoing warfare complicates global economic projections, drives up fuel costs, and directly impacts food and fertilizer prices ahead of upcoming midterm elections. Additionally, Zeoli examines the highly controversial campaign strategy of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who is attempting to pitch a redemption story to voters despite his history of troubling scandals and a Nazi tattoo. We react to Pennsylvania Congresswoman Chrissy Houlihan's absolute refusal to directly answer questions on CNN regarding Platner's fitness for office, resulting in an unforgettable political word salad.

Moving to domestic enforcement, we showcase the recent announcement from the FBI's Minneapolis field office regarding the arrest of Said Adelahi Arig, the first individual apprehended from the newly created Most Wanted Fraudsters list for stealing pandemic relief funds. Zeoli details how these crucial arrests help motivate conservative voters who want to see real accountability for those exploiting taxpayers. We also discuss the startling revelations from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin regarding the ongoing rescue of missing undocumented children who vanished during the prior administration's border neglect. Rich looks at Donald Trump's recent labels for progressive congressional hopefuls, including New Jersey nominee Adam Hamaway and his ties to the Blind Sheikh, as well as his blunt assessment of Platner.

Finally, we unpack the explosive developments surrounding Bill Gates' recent six-hour closed-door congressional testimony regarding his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. Zeoli explains how Epstein utilized knowledge of extramarital affairs to attempt blackmail against high-profile figures, adding further credibility to long-held theories regarding Epstein operating as an intelligence asset. Shifting gears, we preview the upcoming UFC event scheduled for the White House lawn, tracking potential weather complications, logistical spacing constraints inside the executive mansion, and the patriotic flag garments worn by the ring girls. Rich concludes by looking at Hunter Biden's sudden habit of arguing directly with critics on social media and evaluating a Wall Street Journal report that explains why today's teenagers are intentionally passing up traditional summer employment to chase competitive academic opportunities.

Rich Zeoli opens the microphone to address a terrifying reality shaking the American political system as radical leftists gather massive victories. We examine the state of Maine, where the Democratic party officially nominated a candidate with an active Nazi tattoo. Zeoli details why the establishment makes a fatal mistake by assuming these strange figures are guaranteed to lose. High economic anger over food and gas costs pushes voters into the arms of the Democratic Socialists of America, who run highly organized ground games even in wealthy suburban neighborhoods once represented by moderates like Mikie Sherrill.  

We shift focus to the open war on free speech led by progressive autocrats. Zeoli targets California Governor Gavin Newsom for passing a terrifying piece of legislation that puts citizens in prison for three years for uttering what the state labels election falsehoods. This blatant attack on the First Amendment shows exactly how far the left will march to silence opposition. We also laugh at the corporate media theater, specifically pointing out how Rachel Maddow compared freeway anti-Trump sign-waving protesters to the heroic military veterans who bled on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.

United States Senator Dave McCormick enters the program to discuss why lowering energy costs and stabilizing the economy is a mandatory prescription to defeat these radicals. We discuss his bipartisan automation commission, defense production in Pennsylvania, and the exact status of the military blockades around Iran. Plus, Rich provides some personal family updates regarding parenting children past age forty, his recovery from recent surgery, and the shocking physical fitness transformation of a popular child actor from the eighties film scene.

Rich Zeoli details the complete collapse of the Maine Democratic primary as frontrunner Graham Platner faces severe scrutiny. We track how the party's handpicked veteran candidate unravels under revelations about an SS-resembling tattoo, serious allegations from past partners, and a highly questionable disability status. Zeoli reveals the financial data proving Platner's working-class seafood enterprise is a total sham where his own mother is the sole buyer, exposing an establishment setup that falls apart under basic review.

Next, we watch the intense action on Capitol Hill where Congressman Jim Jordan grills the leadership of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Rich exposes the massive financial machine behind the organization, detailing how they pull in millions of dollars by placing mainstream conservative groups on ideological target lists. We discuss the corporate nature of this setup, showing how manufacturing division directly translates into major corporate endowments while avoiding accountability.

The focus shifts to local political battles as New Jersey official Mikie Sherrill uses a state detention facility to generate headlines for a future executive run. We point out the hypocrisy of local leaders who ignore the actual safety of citizens to stage protests against federal authorities, all while ignoring past presidential actions at the exact same facility. To close out the hour, we analyze a new poll detailing why a majority of left-leaning voters prefer socialist nations, laugh at the sudden firing of a Catholic exorcist who blames UFOs on demons, and cheer for the massive return of high school trade classes.

Rich Zeoli exposes the absolute chaos surrounding the upcoming Maine Senate primary election where a controversial candidate seems poised to secure the nomination. We analyze the weird realities of Graham Plattner, a socialist backed by Bernie Sanders who sports a troubling Nazi tattoo. Despite scrutiny from national media and fresh revelations about his personal past, institutional Democrats choose to circle the wagons because their focus centers on defeating Susan Collins. Zeoli points out how John Fetterman stands out by bluntly calling out his own party members for defending such a flawed individual, while the rest of the mainstream establishment looks the other way.

Next, we turn our attention to corporate media shifts and the pure arrogance of old-school news anchors. Zeoli reacts to Scott Pelley's recent public swipes against Barrie Weiss. Pelley claims that Weiss doesn't know television and self-importantly compares running a news division to piloting a commercial airliner packed with hundreds of passengers. We mock this pompous attitude, showing how corporate anchors operate out of touch with modern audiences who consume information via social feeds rather than traditional living room sets. Rich stresses that operations losing money face cuts while profit-generating properties stay safe, a basic economic concept these media elites can't seem to grasp.

Finally, we look at the heavy-handed blue state overreach regarding personal choice and the economy. New York officials plan to tax nicotine pouches at a staggering seventy-five percent while pushing forward a restrictive generational smoking ban that strips adult choices away forever. We contrast these nanny-state schemes with Donald Trump's deregulatory approach toward cannabis, sports wagering, and personal autonomy. To wrap up the broadcast, Rich and Jared review how high school and college athletes handle massive name, image, and likeness revenue. Zeoli looks at the wild trend of teenage sports stars blowing eighty-thousand dollars on extravagant prom nights, demonstrating why financial literacy remains essential before these rookies hit professional leagues.

On this packed edition of the show, Rich breaks down the absolute chaos surrounding Maine’s controversial Senate candidate Graham Platner, diving headfirst into the mounting scandals, the contradictions, and what it means for the upcoming election cycle. Dems are abandoning him because the markets have shifted and show Republican Susan Collins beating. But don't be fooled. If he wins the primary on Tuesday, they will be on board! 

Then, Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Dr. Brian Christine joins the program from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Dr. Christine pulls back the curtain on the White House's active response to the Ebola threat, the administration's strategic public health directives, and the ongoing mission to restore radical transparency to our federal health institutions. Should we be concerned about foreign travelers coming to America for the World Cup? Could this be another weaponized virus similar to Covid-19? 

Finally, White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary, Kush Desai, joins Rich to look at the numbers that matter to your wallet. The latest official job numbers have dropped, and Rich separates the political spin from economic reality. The great news is that the jobs are in the private sector and government jobs are shrinking to the lowest levels since the 1960's! But what about gas prices. Where do things stand with Iran and how will high gas prices affect the economy? 

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• **** – The Graham Platner Circus: Rich untangles the latest explosive scandals plaguing the firebrand Senate candidate and how the mainstream media is shifting its narrative.

• **** – HHS Insider Interview: Dr. Brian Christine outlines the administration’s tactical response to Ebola and explains the White House strategy to keep Americans safe without resorting to heavy-handed mandates.

• **** – The Jobs Report Breakdown: Rich goes line-by-line through the newly released employment data. Who is actually hiring, where are the full-time positions, and what does it mean for inflation?

Rich Zeoli breaks down the stunning political changes hitting suburban communities as progressive socialist candidates secure primary victories in previously competitive areas. We look closely at Dr. Adam Hamawy, the newly minted Democratic nominee for New Jersey's 12th congressional district, who holds deeply troubling historical ties. Zeoli exposes how Hamawy volunteered as a defense witness for the notorious terrorist leader Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman in the 1990s and worked with an organization later exposed as a front for financing dangerous global networks. Despite these documented associations, the corporate press remains completely silent, keeping voters in the dark ahead of the fast-approaching midterms.

The discussion shifts toward the internal struggles of the local political scene and the hilarious, bizarre interactions taking place in Washington. Rich expresses deep concern for Republican seats in the region, particularly focusing on Tom Kean Jr., while sharing a funny childhood story about the famous beach closures of the 1980s. We also review a heated congressional hearing exchange where Representative Shri Thanedar reads a poorly prepared script to attack Senator Markwayne Mullin. Zeoli mocks the performance, the lack of factual basis, and the clear disconnect between modern representatives and their constituents.

We close out the show looking at a massive shift in entertainment as independent creators bypass massive corporate entities to find true success. The conversation tracks how a teenager turned an internet forum phenomenon into the number one movie in America, outperforming giant Hollywood franchises by providing true authenticity. Rich also shares an inspiring story about best-selling author Jack Carr, whose patriotic novels motivated high school students to put down their phones and proudly stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. We analyze what this means for the future of media, storytelling, and human connection in an age saturated with generic productions.

Rich Zeoli kicks off the broadcast by breaking down the shocking state of the Republican primary in New Jersey and the unexpected rise of candidates challenging the establishment. We look at the absolute shift in local politics as outsiders manage to reach voters directly through unconventional strategies. From the unexpected success of Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral runoff to the local victory of Justin Murphy, the political scene is shifting away from corporate-backed legacy figures who refuse to focus on practical issues like safety and clean streets.  

Zeoli dives deep into the collapse of mainstream corporate media profits, highlighting the firing of Scott Pelley from CBS News and the massive financial failures of left-leaning late-night television. We analyze data showing how shows like Stephen Colbert's late-night broadcast operate as ideological group therapy sessions rather than profitable entertainment. This obsession with progressive purity over economic viability is forcing massive shakeups across major networks as corporate boards finally demand financial accountability from failing productions.  

We also confront the rank hypocrisy of Washington elites and the spreading radicalism in state legislatures. Rich points out the absurdity of Bernie Sanders surrounding himself with heavily armed security guards while simultaneously pushing to restrict the self-defense rights of ordinary citizens. Meanwhile, big corporations like ExxonMobil are officially packing up and moving to Texas to escape hostile environmental lawsuits and high taxes imposed by Democrats like Mikie Sherrill. We wrap up by exposing a preposterous new proposal in New York that attempts to legally strip away the words mother and father from official documents.

Rich Zeoli returns to discuss a wild primary election day that reveals massive panic spreading within the establishment factions of the political class. We analyze how national organizations completely ignore the New Jersey Republican primary, leaving local candidates to face Cory Booker without institutional support. Meanwhile, a massive civil war erupts in Maine as leftist leaders and corporate media outlets desperately scramble to halt their de facto nominee, Graham Plattner, due to a cascade of disqualifying personal scandals. Zeoli exposes how the progressive voting base continues to reject hand-picked establishment favorites, causing total chaos for party bosses who value total submission above all else.  

We shift focus to the rising security crisis in New Jersey at the Delaney Hall detention facility, where outside agitators are fueling violent protests. Governor Mikie Sherrill faces a massive political dilemma as these radical groups ruin her attempts to posture against Donald Trump on the national stage. To expose the truth, we review eyewitness accounts from border enforcement experts like Tom Homan and congressional leaders who actually toured the building. They confirm that the facility is clean, safe, and offers excellent care, exposing the entire left-wing narrative of inhumane conditions as complete fabrication.  

Rich also tracks the radical policy objectives gaining traction in California, including billionaire Tom Steyer’s open hostility toward border patrol agents. We analyze the dangerous escalation in mainstream media rhetoric, exemplified by Paul Krugman demanding an authoritarian purging of political opponents under the guise of cleansing the nation. Finally, we look at the bizarre realities of corporate-funded scientific experiments releasing millions of modified mosquitoes into local neighborhoods. We inspect the deceptive marketing of home automation systems that pretend to use independent programming but actually rely on human workers in offshore call centers tracking your private data.

Rich Zeoli makes his return to the microphone after recovering from intense open-heart surgery, and covers the total meltdown within the Democratic party over Maine Senate nominee Graham Plattner. Zeoli dissects how party leaders like Cory Booker and a completely bewildered Andy Kim choose to completely dodge Plattner's severe messaging app controversies and personal scandals just to secure a majority vote.

We shift our focus to the national stage where Jill Biden acts exactly like a modern-day Edith Wilson. Rich exposes the media tour where she defends the Hunter Biden pardon, effectively admitting who ran the executive branch during her husband's presidency. We also take a close look at the blatant hypocrisy of wealthy elites, from Bruce Springsteen yelling at clouds inside an exclusive arena to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using a ridiculous fake vocal pattern to pander to rural voters in Montana.

The chaos hits close to home as we analyze the unfolding madness at Newark's Delaney Hall ICE facility. Zeoli exposes how outside left-wing agitators are turning New Jersey streets into a war zone, forcing Governor Mikie Sherrill to deploy state police and tear gas.

Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future, joins Rich to discuss America's global energy dominance and how that plays into the President's visit to China. What is the end game and can we trust anything China says?

And of course, Rich breaks down the latest grandstanding drama from the shapeshifting sociopath known as Gavin Newsom. Have fun and thanks for listening! See you after my heart surgery!

Rich Zeoli breaks down the high-stakes diplomacy happening in Beijing as the president reveals XI Jinping’s offer to help facilitate a deal with Iran. China needs us, pure and simple. Why? Oil! But we have to stop buying their cheaply made slave labor crap. Can they really help us with Iran? Whatever they say, here's the rule: Don't trust them! They want to rule the world. 

But Israel has very different ideas for when this was will end. Do we need China's help or not? Sorta getting mixed messages on this one so let's see what Secretary of State Rubio has to say and whether or not that matches what President Trump says about China's help with the Strait of Hormuz. 

At least we don't spy on our people like they do in China. Or do we?  There are thousands of facial recognition cameras and automated ticketing systems in China and that's a blueprint for what politicians in both parties want to bring to America. And do not give me that "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear crap." That's an excuse to justify big brother on every corner. We have a right to go about our business without our government spying on us. Whether it's FISA or geofencing or red light cameras, OUR government is watching. So pay attention and push back. 

Speaking of China, wait until the schools start praising the CCP. Yeah, they'll tell your kids how great Mao was and conveniently leave out the famines. And with the help of the Southern Poverty Law Center, they are indoctrinating your kids as early as kindergarten. Yeah for commie teacher appreciate day!!!

 Finally, we look at the lighter side of the news—if you can call it that—with the insane $1.5 million price tag for tickets to the upcoming UFC fight on the White House lawn for the nation’s 250th anniversary. Would you? Heck no. Unless you have a free ticket for me.

Rich Zeoli dives into the explosive testimony from a CIA whistleblower who confirms what we suspected: Anthony Fauci injected himself into the intelligence community to influence the origins of Covid-19. We look at the timeline where CIA analysts were ready to label the pandemic a lab leak in August 2021, only to have that conclusion neutralized days later. Zeoli breaks down the "gravy train" of gain of function research, explaining how pharmaceutical entities and government bureaucrats benefit from a cycle of creating Frankenstein’s monsters just to sell the solution.

The show highlights the staggering lack of accountability as Senate Democrats completely boycotted the Homeland Security Committee hearing. Rich points out the irony of their absence, noting that they passed up a chance to even attempt to blame the previous administration just to protect the current bureaucracy. We discuss how the "Deep State" simply waits out directors and presidents they dislike, ensuring that the swamp remains undisturbed and the money continues to flow into lucrative consulting contracts and board seats.

Zeoli also takes a turn into the bizarre world of health and technology, debunking the "10,000 steps" myth as a marketing ploy to sell pedometers. We talk about why the truth about the pandemic is suppressed by media companies like Disney and Paramount who are terrified of losing their Chinese market access. From the benefits of "pink noise" during rainstorms to the final shutdown of Ask Jeeves, we cover the ways our daily lives and information streams are manipulated by those at the top.

Rich Zeoli dives straight into the murky waters of California politics, exposing how Governor Gavin Newsom’s "free diaper" plan looks less like a charity and more like a lucrative contract for friends of the First Partner. We examine the "cozy" circle of nonprofits, celebrity activists, and state-funded partnerships where the public pays the bill while politicians grab the headlines. Zeoli breaks down the math, showing how these taxpayer-funded diapers actually cost more than retail prices at Target, proving once again that in California, the "house" always wins.

The corruption doesn't stop at the state level; we look at the shocking case of Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang, who just agreed to plead guilty to acting as an illegal foreign agent for the Chinese government. Zeoli and the team discuss how Wang used a fake news site to spread CCP propaganda and why mainstream news outlets seem to be scrubbing her Democrat Party affiliation from their reports. We also tackle the broader threat of Chinese influence in American politics, from wine companies to green energy scams, and the urgent need to hold these bad actors accountable.

Rich also highlights a massive cover-up within the federal government regarding COVID-19 vaccine safety. Using testimony from Senator Ron Johnson, we discuss how the FDA allegedly used an algorithm designed to mask adverse events like strokes and cardiac death. As Anthony Fauci’s statute of limitations expires today, Zeoli voices the frustration of millions who see the "deep state" avoiding handcuffs while regular Americans deal with the fallout of lockdowns and mandates. We wrap up with a look at why young men are fleeing the Democrat Party in droves, citing John Fetterman’s admission that calling half the population "toxic" is a losing strategy.

Rich Zeoli begins the show by exposing Gavin Newsom’s latest "free" diaper initiative as nothing more than a taxpayer-funded shell game. We look at how California is spending fifty cents per diaper through non-profit cronies when the average parent can find them for sixteen cents at a local store. Zeoli breaks down the absurdity of Newsom’s claims that this solves the affordability crisis while gas prices hit seven dollars a gallon and the state remains unlivable for many families.

The conversation shifts to the strange political theater surrounding Newsom’s family life, specifically his claim that his nine-year-old son is an expert on authoritarianism. We analyze the "God as my witness" storytelling style that Rich notes is a hallmark of politicians who are being less than truthful. Zeoli and the team have some fun with the idea of a twelve-year-old having a "dictator rookie card" collection instead of playing video games, pointing out how scripted and inauthentic these political anecdotes feel to the average listener.

We also dive into the rising panic over AI data centers and a new bacterium creeping up the East Coast. Zeoli discusses the complete collapse of trust in public health officials following the COVID era, noting that even when the NIH says not to panic about the Hantavirus, many Americans are now wired to be cynical. Finally, we look at the Los Angeles Mayor’s race where Spencer Pratt is being attacked by unions for wanting more police and less homelessness—positions that Rich argues will actually make him more popular with voters who are tired of the status quo.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich Zeoli dives into the alarming shift in New Jersey politics as radical socialist candidates secure victories in once-moderate suburban strongholds. We look at the recent special election win in the 11th District and the rise of Adam Hamway in the 12th District, who recently went on a podcast to advocate for abolishing the Department of Homeland Security and ending all aid to Israel. Zeoli explains how redistricting and gerrymandering have eliminated competitive purple districts, leaving voters to choose between party extremes rather than centrist representatives.

Rich breaks down the controversial platforming of Hasan Piker by the New York Times, despite Piker’s history of inflammatory comments regarding 9/11 and his open support for retail theft and piracy. We discuss Senator John Fetterman’s surprisingly blunt criticism of his own party for associating with such "vile" figures. Zeoli questions why the "energy" of the Democrat party has shifted so far toward these radical voices, leaving moderate figures on the outs while the media elevates individuals who justify violence against corporate executives.

We also examine a massive data leak regarding ActBlue, which reveals that nearly half of the donations to the Biden campaign and millions of other contributions come from donors listed as "unemployed." Rich and the team discuss the potential for this to be a loophole for foreign governments to funnel untraceable cash into American elections. Finally, we get into the bizarre stories of the day, from the Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paying "Exalted Cyclops" KKK informants to foment hate, to the mysterious disappearance of eleven high-level nuclear and space scientists that has Chairman James Comer demanding immediate answers.

Rich Zeoli dives headfirst into the massive legal bombshell involving the Southern Poverty Law Center. We break down the eleven-count federal indictment revealed by FBI Director Kash Patel and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, which alleges the organization was involved in wire fraud, bank fraud, and even paying individuals to manufacture acts of hate. Zeoli explains how the SPLC shifted from a legitimate civil rights group into a "money-grabbing slander machine" that targets conservative organizations like PragerU and Moms for Liberty simply for their traditional beliefs.

We examine the disturbing allegations that the SPLC actually funneled money to the very extremists they claimed to be fighting, including the organizers of the infamous Charlottesville rally. Zeoli highlights how this scam allowed the organization to build a massive 750 million dollar endowment while functioning as the "thought police" for the media and the government. We also look at the fallout for groups listed on the SPLC "hate map" who have faced severe consequences, including loss of banking services and physical threats, all without any form of due process.

The show takes a dark turn as we investigate the mystery of the twelve missing scientists. Zeoli discusses the tragic case of Amy Eskridge and other propulsion engineers who warned of threats to their lives before disappearing or dying under suspicious circumstances. We analyze the claims of directed energy weapons and secret anti-gravity technology that the government appears desperate to keep hidden. Plus, we look at Virginia’s recent redistricting vote and Governor Abigail Spanberger’s admitted goal to overhaul the entire country’s map to ensure permanent Democrat control of the House of Representatives.

Rich Zeoli opens with a blistering takedown of the Southern Poverty Law Center as news breaks that the organization is under federal investigation. We spend a huge part of the opening stretch on what Rich sees as the scam at the core of the SPLC, from its infamous hate map to its labeling of groups like Moms for Liberty, Charlie Kirk, and Christian organizations as extremist threats. We talk about how Zeoli believes the group inflated the threat of hate in America to keep money flowing, and why this investigation matters if federal officials and paid informants were used to target conservative and libertarian groups.

We also move into a broader conversation about political grandstanding, starting with Cory Booker. Rich goes after Booker’s long-running anti-lynching push, arguing it was always more about drama than reality, and then reacts to Booker’s latest full-volume speech as if it were an audition for president. 

The final stretch turns to foreign policy and election law. Rich breaks down President Trump’s latest comments on Iran, why this deadline feels familiar, and whether more military action is the likely outcome. We also get into the broader energy consequences, including how Russia, China, and India could all benefit or shift as the Strait of Hormuz remains under pressure.

Rich Zeoli takes on the chaos surrounding Virginia’s redistricting vote and we lay out exactly why voters are confused and why this issue matters far beyond one state. We walk through the argument that the proposed changes could heavily favor one party, the response from figures like Tim Kaine, and how Zeoli sees this as part of a larger national strategy. Rich also points to conflicting messaging—featuring Barack Obama in competing ads—as a sign of how messy the issue has become heading into a critical vote.

We then connect what’s happening in Virginia to a broader trend playing out across the country. Zeoli explains how shifting district lines have changed the political map in places like New Jersey, turning once-competitive areas into safe seats. From there, we discuss how that environment allows more progressive candidates to win primaries and ultimately take office. Rich ties in Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, and the growing focus on targeting wealth, arguing that the party’s direction is shifting as organization and turnout play a bigger role than ever in low-participation elections.

Later in the show, we pivot to a mix of media, policy, and personal updates. We talk about the shift toward video-first podcasts and why Zeoli believes audio listeners are being overlooked. Rich also reacts to reports of the U.S. Navy using dolphins in mine-clearing operations, discusses the latest developments involving Iran and new deadlines from the Trump administration, and highlights a major policy move allowing psychedelic treatments for veterans dealing with trauma. The episode closes with a deeper look into reports of missing scientists tied to sensitive U.S. research and ongoing federal scrutiny of past election activity, as Rich questions whether the public will ever get clear answers.

In a powerhouse episode today with members of President Trump's cabinet, we pull back the curtain on the most pressing national security and domestic issues facing the country. From the front lines of the energy revolution to the mysterious deaths of American researchers, we aren’t holding anything back. Rich is joined by high profile guests including the United States Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, and United States Senator Dave McCormick. 

On Today’s Show:

• War in Iran Coming to an End: We break down President Trump’s latest Truth Social posts saying the Strait of Hormuz is open and the war is coming to an end! 

• The Mystery of the Missing Scientists: The President has officially vowed to investigate the alarming reports of missing and deceased US scientists linked to sensitive defense and aerospace research. We discuss the case of Amy Eskridge—the brilliant anti-gravity researcher whose 2022 death is back in the spotlight—and why the White House is now treating these "unverified" reports as a serious national security threat.

• Pennsylvania’s Energy Surge: Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum joins us fresh off his visit to the Washington County, PA frac sites. He shares how "American Energy Dominance" is moving from a slogan to a reality and what it means for the blue-collar workers of the Keystone State.

Rich Zeoli opens with a warning that the Democrat Party is moving further left, and we spend the opening stretch laying out why Bernie Sanders now looks like the movement’s power broker. We talk about how Rich sees Sanders gaining new stature after years of being pushed aside by party insiders, why Mamdani’s rise matters, and how a special election in New Jersey fits into the bigger picture. Zeoli ties all of it to a wider argument that younger voters have been sold on socialism as an answer to frustration with work, wealth, and the American system.

We also spend a big portion of the show on the Cold War, communism, and how that history connects to the current political moment. Rich reacts to Hasan Piker’s comments on the Soviet Union, discusses the upcoming Reagan-Gorbachev film Brink of War, and revisits George Orwell’s warning in Animal Farm. We get into why Zeoli believes many Americans no longer grasp what made communism oppressive, how the language has shifted from “capitalism” to “oligarchy,” and why free promises still attract support even when history points in another direction. Later, we move into red-state criticism of blue states that still tax tips and overtime, then pivot to Bernie Sanders and AOC discussing artificial intelligence, with Rich arguing that Sanders is effectively handing off his movement to a younger face.

In the final stretch, we move from politics into media, scandal, and personal news. Rich takes on Jimmy Kimmel for his handling of Eric Swalwell, reacts to Rosie O’Donnell’s frustration, and then shares a very personal update on his heart after meeting with a surgeon and reviewing images of a myocardial bridge that will require open-heart surgery. Zeoli keeps the mood honest but upbeat as Dan asks about his outlook, before the show closes with President Trump’s latest comments on Iran, the blockade, and what could happen next if there is no deal. It’s a packed episode that moves from the future of the left, to media double standards, to Rich’s own health fight.

Rich Zeoli dives into one of the most complicated questions in today’s political landscape: what does it actually mean to “support” a conflict with Iran? As tensions rise around the Strait of Hormuz and economic pressure mounts, Zeoli breaks down the real dividing lines—between those who see this as a path to peace and those who fear it could spiral into another long-term war. He examines the strategy of using economic leverage to force a deal, the skepticism from younger audiences, and the growing disconnect between traditional media narratives and podcast-driven perspectives.

At the same time, Zeoli revisits the ongoing fallout surrounding Eric Swalwell, arguing that the story is less about one politician and more about a broader culture of political protection and delayed accountability. From there, the conversation shifts into deeper concerns about government power—specifically allegations involving the Department of Justice targeting pro-life activists and coordinating with outside groups. Zeoli connects these claims to larger warnings about surveillance, FISA, and how easily government authority can be expanded and turned against citizens.

The episode also explores the future of media itself, highlighting the rise of independent and citizen journalists and the pushback they’re beginning to face. Zeoli argues that regulatory expansion—from the FCC to digital identity laws—could reshape how information is shared and controlled in the coming years. With a mix of serious analysis, cultural commentary, and sharp humor, the show closes on a personal note with a heartfelt tribute to a beloved listener whose impact extended far beyond the airwaves.

Description

Rich Zeoli opens by going straight at the downfall of Eric Swalwell and why this political collapse feels bigger than one more headline about a reckless politician. We talk about why Rich sees Swalwell as a total fraud, why the Fang Fang scandal still hangs over everything, and why this story blows up now instead of years ago. Zeoli makes the case that California Democrats finally decide Swalwell is too dangerous to keep in the governor’s race, and we walk through the media’s old defense of him, the whisper network around Capitol Hill, and the growing pile of stories that Rich says everybody already knows.

Zeoli then pulls the camera back and ties Swalwell to a much bigger story: the people who push the Russia hoax and the effort to damage Donald Trump. We get into Tulsi Gabbard’s latest document release, what Rich says it shows about the impeachment push, and why Adam Schiff and Swalwell stay at the center of that whole ugly chapter. Zeoli argues this is not just about one politician getting exposed. It is also about watching one of the loudest anti-Trump figures get hit by the same kind of public reckoning he once wanted for everybody else.

From there, we move into the fight over FISA and government spying. Rich hammers the idea that Republicans once screamed about abuse, only to now shrug and support the same powers all over again. We talk through why Zeoli thinks this is dangerous no matter who is in office, why “reforms” do not calm him down, and why the promise of safety always gets used to sell more power for the government. The hour also rolls through Swalwell’s phony duck-and-cat outrage, Rich’s latest heart surgery talk, the latest entry in the cocaine animal movie universe with cocaine hippos, and a closing shot at left-wing city leaders who keep making life harder and more expensive for working people.

Rich Zeoli opens the show from Fox News with a major global development as the Strait of Hormuz blockade begins to reshape the oil market. Zeoli breaks down what it means as over 100 tankers reroute, why Iran is suddenly feeling pressure, and how President Trump is responding with aggressive warnings about “fast ships” in the region. We walk through JD Vance’s latest comments after negotiations stalled, and Rich lays out the big question: is this economic squeeze enough to force Iran into a deal, or is something much bigger coming next?

Zeoli then digs into the potential consequences of escalation, including talk of extreme military options and what the true endgame might be. We discuss whether regime change is realistic, why cutting off Iran’s money could shift power internally, and how rising gas prices could hit Americans right as midterms approach. Rich makes the case that political reality matters just as much as foreign policy strategy, especially when voters are feeling it at the pump and at the grocery store.

From there, the show turns to the state of the Democrat Party, and Zeoli does not hold back. We cover Bernie Sanders rallying with Zoran Mamdani, the rise of socialist messaging, and why Rich believes these promises are never meant to be fulfilled. Zeoli also examines Gavin Newsom’s orbit, Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s messaging, and the growing disconnect with working-class voters. The hour continues with the fallout surrounding Eric Swalwell as serious allegations surface, leading to his campaign suspension and sparking broader questions about accountability within the party. We wrap with a look at modern campaign strategy, nonstop social media messaging, and some of the wild cultural stories making waves right now.

April 10, 2026

In a high-stakes episode, Rich Zeoli breaks down a whirlwind 24 hours in global and domestic politics. From the front lines of a potential energy crisis to the early jockeying for the next White House run, we’re covering the stories the mainstream media is trying to spin.

The Islamabad Summit: Peace or Posturing?

Vice President JD Vance is officially on his way to Pakistan to lead high-stakes negotiations with an Iranian delegation.With the Strait of Hormuz effectively choked off and global oil prices skyrocketing to $126 per barrel, the pressure is on. Rich discusses the internal friction within the Trump administration: Is Vance the "skeptic" the world needs to avoid a total regional war, or has his dissent on military action cost him his seat at the table?

Kamala Harris’s Comeback?

She’s back—or at least, she’s thinking about it. Former VP Kamala Harris sat down with Rev. Al Sharpton in New York and admitted she’s "considering" a run for the presidency in 2028. After a quiet year, Harris is testing the waters, telling the National Action Network that "the status quo is not working." Rich reacts to her claims of "progress over process" and explores whether the Democratic base is actually ready for a 2024 rematch.

GOP Midterm Jitters

The 2026 midterms are just seven months away, and after some stinging losses in Wisconsin and a surprisingly tight special election in Georgia, the Republican establishment is starting to sweat. Rich looks at the data: Are these "red alarms" for the GOP, or is "election fatigue" simply taking its toll? We analyze if the Trump brand is enough to carry down-ballot candidates in a volatile economic environment.

PLUS- A NJ Democrat urges the town to hire Mexicans because they are really good at cutting grass and landscaping in general! You simply can't make it up. 

“The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s jugular vein, and right now, the grip is tightening. While JD Vance tries to navigate a diplomatic minefield in Pakistan, Kamala Harris is already picking out curtains for 2028. It’s a masterclass in political cognitive dissonance.” — Rich Zeoli

Rich Zeoli tears into CNN for their latest journalistic disaster—reporting that Michael J. Fox has passed away when he is actually live on stage at Paley Fest. We examine how the obsession with being first has completely destroyed media credibility and why trust scores continue to plummet. Rich points out how this mistake is egregious given Fox’s high profile and active public life, proving that "fake news" is not just a catchphrase.

Zeoli dives deep into the sinister implications of the recent California jury verdict against Meta and Google. We discuss how the government uses the "protection of children" as a Trojan horse to strip away individual agency and implement national age verification standards. Rich warns that once we allow bureaucrats to manage what we see on the internet under the guise of safety, we lose the right to anonymity and the freedom to challenge government narratives during future crises.

We wrap up the show with a look at the utter absurdity coming out of the Canadian Parliament and the bizarre claim that lawns are symbols of white supremacy. Rich reacts to an MP reading a nearly impossible-to-pronounce acronym that includes everything from "two-spirit" to "missing and murdered indigenous" individuals. Zeoli explains how this linguistic chaos is part of a larger effort to control speech and why we must remain vigilant against the erosion of the First Amendment.

Rich Zeoli begins by assessing the current state of "civilization" and the political fallout in Michigan, where a Democrat Senate candidate is choosing to campaign alongside controversial figures like Hassan Piker. We look at the dangerous precedent of mainstream political parties embracing fringe elements who have historically justified violence and expressed disdain for the United States. Zeoli breaks down why this strategy, while perhaps effective in a radicalized primary, is a recipe for disaster in a general election across a working-class state like Michigan.

We also dive deep into the recent ceasefire with Iran and the broader implications of executive war-making powers. Rich discusses the terrifying reality of a single individual having the authority to "wipe out a civilization" and argues that unless there is a clear and present imminent danger, the spirit of Article 1 of the Constitution requires Congress to debate and authorize military action. We analyze the distinction between the immediate necessity of nuclear response and the conventional strikes currently being utilized by the administration.

Finally, the show covers the absurdity of modern culture, from Lawrence O’Donnell’s preoccupation with military pronouns to the lifting of the TSA shoe-removal policy. We examine a fascinating legal battle in Bergen County, New Jersey, where a municipal election was decided by a single vote after a judge threw out a ballot based on the political leanings of a voter’s parents. To wrap things up, we look at Anthony Scaramucci’s 2028 presidential ambitions and the literal "cocaine sharks" currently inhabiting the waters of the Bahamas.

The clock is ticking, and we are officially in a wait-and-see pattern that feels like the opening scene of a disaster movie. Zeoli breaks down the cryptic Truth Social post from President Trump suggesting a whole civilization could "cease to exist" tonight. We discuss the strategic reality behind the bluster—is it a nuclear threat, or are we looking at a high-altitude EMP that sends Iran back to the Stone Age? While some are hoping for a last-minute deal, others like Lindsey Graham aren't mincing words, essentially telling the world that Iran has two choices: talk or get blown up.

Rich dives deep into the technical nightmare of an EMP attack, moving past the Hollywood version seen in Ocean's Eleven to the grim reality of a societal collapse. We look at the potential for a total blackout, the failure of water systems, and the global economic ripples that would follow. Zeoli questions whether this is Trump’s ultimate leverage play—using his reputation for being unpredictable to force the regime's hand before the 8:00 PM deadline hits.

Switching gears to the home front, we examine the bizarre cultural performance of Jennifer Sebel Newsom. Rich develops a theory that she might actually be an undercover Republican operative or a bot designed to alienate every working-class man in America. From her leather turtleneck fashion choices to her constant use of woke buzzwords, we analyze how her rhetoric regarding "male allies" and online radicalization is actually a gift to the GOP. We also tackle the looming threat to your digital privacy with new federal age verification bills that could strip away the anonymity we all rely on.

👉 Trump’s 8 PM Deadline for Iran
👉 Jennifer Newsom’s Patriarchy Lecture
👉 California’s $50 Billion Medicaid Fraud
👉 James Carville’s Trump Meltdown
👉 George Stephanopoulos and the "Subverted" Midterms

Zeoli kicks off the show by analyzing the high-stakes showdown between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime. We look at the president's firm deadline of 8 PM tomorrow night, where he has threatened to take out bridges and power plants unless a deal is reached. Rich notes the absolute unpredictability Trump projects, a strategy designed to make the leadership in Tehran capitulate before they are sent back to the Stone Age. We also discuss the legal battle brewing over a leaked report regarding a missing pilot, as the administration threatens jail time for journalists who won't reveal their government sources.

The conversation shifts to the creepy and inauthentic way technology is replacing human connection. Zeoli vents about the "fuzziness" of modern life, from Siri interrupting family trivia games to the Mayor of San Jose using taxpayer dollars to install a hologram of himself at the airport. We dive into a study showing how chat bots have become "yes men" that encourage delusional thinking in users. Rich and the team argue that this lack of authenticity is why people are gravitating back to "real" brands and why voters find politicians like Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Sebel Newsom, so incredibly off-putting.

We wrap up by exposing the policy failures and massive fraud currently rotting the state of California. Despite the Left claiming they have a "messaging problem," Zeoli points out that $19 million in PR won't hide $6 a gallon gas or the $50 billion lost to Medicaid scammers. We look at the $126 billion high-speed rail project that still has zero tracks laid and listen to James Carville try to distract from these disasters by screaming about Trump on camera. Finally, we call out the "unbiased" George Stephanopoulos for already claiming the upcoming midterm elections are being subverted.

We dive into a high-stakes search in the Middle East, a massive cleanup at HUD, and a political civil war that's finally being said out loud.

🔴 The Search for the Missing Pilot

We start with the breaking news from the Middle East: a U.S. F-15 has been downed over Iranian territory. While one crew member has been successfully rescued, a frantic search is underway for the second. We break down what this means for the current conflict and the terrifying "reward" Iranian state TV is offering for the pilot’s capture.

🏢 HUD’s Billion-Dollar Fraud Hunt

Secretary Scott Turner isn’t just settling into his role; he’s declaring war on waste. With upwards of $5 billion in rental assistance payments potentially made in error—including payments to deceased individuals—we look at the new AI-enabled "strike force" designed to track every federal dollar from D.C. down to the subcontractors.

🗳️ Rahm Emanuel: "Democrats Have Lost the Plot"

The gloves are off. Former Chicago Mayor and current political firebrand Rahm Emanuel has issued a blistering critique of his own party, arguing that Democrats have become disconnected from the average voter. We discuss his "trademark toughness," the skepticism from progressives, and whether this is the start of a 2028 run.

⚖️ The Bondi Fallout & The Epstein Files

The biggest shock of the week: President Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi. Following a combative February hearing and accusations of a "grotesque mishandling" of the Epstein files, the DOJ is in a state of upheaval. We ask the hard questions:

• Why were 3 million pages of documents withheld or heavily redacted?

• With Acting AG Todd Blanche now at the helm, will we finally see U.S. arrests to match the recent high-profile detentions in the U.K.?

• Where does the Epstein investigation go from here, and is justice even possible after years of alleged cover-ups?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich Zeoli begins the program with a bombshell: Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General. While the official word from the president is that she is a "great friend" transitioning to the private sector, we know better. Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein files and a disastrous showing at the Supreme Court led to her being fired. We discuss how Todd Blanche is stepping in as the interim AG, with Lee Zeldin likely waiting in the wings to take the permanent spot.

We then shift our focus to the staggering reality of Chinese birth tourism and what experts call the "Manchurian Generation." Over 300,000 babies were born to unauthorized or temporary migrant mothers in 2023 alone, accounting for 9% of all U.S. births. Zeoli breaks down the national security implications of Chinese elites paying $100,000 to ensure their children are U.S. citizens—children who are then raised in CCP schools but retain the right to vote, run for Congress, or even become president. It sounds like a Cold War thriller, but as we point out, the numbers suggest between 750,000 and 1.5 million Chinese nationals may already hold U.S. passports through this loophole.

Finally, we expose the "Hospice Miracle" in California and massive education fraud in New Jersey. In Los Angeles, a husband-and-wife medical team was arrested for stealing $16 million in taxpayer funds; while 80% of hospice patients typically pass away within weeks, 97% of theirs miraculously stayed alive just long enough for the billing to max out. Meanwhile, in Newark, $287 million in COVID relief meant for tutoring and ventilation upgrades has vanished, leaving students in sweltering, antiquated buildings. We wrap up with the bizarre details surrounding Kristi Noem’s husband and why government incompetence is the only thing currently "paving the way" for more fraud.

👉 Nancy Pelosi's Election Integrity Double Standard
👉 RFK Jr. vs. Big Food
👉 The Secret Life of Kristi Noem’s Husband

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments regarding the massive question of birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment. Rich Zeoli breaks down the six controversial words—"subject to the jurisdiction thereof"—that sit at the center of the Trump administration's challenge. We look at the historical intent of the amendment, originally meant to ensure former slaves were recognized as citizens, and how it applies today to "birth tourism" and those entering the country illegally. Zeoli explains why this precedent, which has stood for 150 years, faces a major test tomorrow that could change the definition of American citizenship forever.

Before the citizenship debate kicks off, we celebrate a massive 8-1 win for the First Amendment at the Supreme Court. The court knocked down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy, with Zeoli pointing out that the state cannot enforce "orthodoxy in thought or speech." We discuss how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stood alone in her dissent, while the majority ruled that individuals have a right to seek the therapy they choose. Rich argues that whether a therapy "works" is irrelevant to the state’s interest; what matters is the protected right to engage in voluntary conversation with a licensed professional without government interference.

The conversation shifts to the bizarre double standards in Washington and the strange headlines coming out of the Midwest. Zeoli highlights Nancy Pelosi’s recent claims that Republicans might rig technology to create a "false count" in upcoming elections—the exact type of rhetoric that Democrats previously labeled as dangerous conspiracy theories. We also dive into the "politics of food" as the American Heart Association clashes with RFK Jr. over red meat and dairy. Rich exposes how the sugar industry spent decades funding research to blame fat for heart disease, leading to an obesity epidemic fueled by high-carb, low-fat processed "science."

👉 Lindsey Graham’s solo trip to Disney World and the "Small War After All" parody.
👉 AOC’s $19,000 campaign-funded ketamine therapy and the FEC complaint.
👉 Andy Beshear’s strategy to save the Democrat party by recruiting straight white Christian men.

Rich Zeoli opens the show straight from the Fox News studios after filling in for Jimmy Failla, and we are diving right into the absolute circus that was the "No Kings" protest over the weekend. We saw people roaming the streets of Philadelphia who couldn’t name a single part of the Constitution they think is eroding. Zeoli breaks down the hilarious footage of a woman dressed as a literal banana who admitted she was going to "sound like an idiot" the moment she tried to explain her presence. We also look at the lack of maturity from protesters who storm off the moment they are reminded that nobody actually voted for Kamala Harris to be the nominee.

Rich pivots to the bizarre international optics of Senator Lindsey Graham being spotted solo at Disney World while the world teeters on the brink of conflict. We discuss the "Skiffity Doo-Dah" strategy and whether Graham is making war plans from a secure location inside the Magic Kingdom. Zeoli and Jared joke about the "Solo Disney Male" trope and how it’s the creepiest look for a sitting U.S. Senator during a potential government shutdown. We also analyze the tension in the Middle East, noting how Western investments like Disney Abu Dhabi and MGM casinos might actually do more to stop Iran than any politician could, simply because war is bad for the bottom line.

Finally, we tackle the massive hypocrisy of AOC using $19,000 in campaign funds for ketamine therapy. Rich asks the obvious question: how does psychedelic treatment for personal use benefit a political campaign? We also listen to RFK Jr.’s warnings about cell phone radiation, leading Zeoli to wonder why we are worried about bedside tables when the phone is sitting next to our "junk" all day. We wrap up with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s plea for Democrats to "act like normal people," even though the party’s base—led by the woman in the banana suit—seems to have no interest in normalcy.

On this episode of The Rich Zeoli Show, Rich dives into the growing civil war within the halls of Congress as the border crisis reaches a boiling point. Despite record-breaking crossings and overwhelmed communities, top Democrats—including Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Mikie Sherrill—continue to ramp up their rhetoric against ICE. Rich breaks down the latest efforts by the left to defund enforcement entirely, even as the administration struggles to manage the fallout of open-border policies. Why are they choosing to punish the agents instead of protecting the citizens?

Inside This Episode:

• The War on ICE: Schumer, Booker, and Sherrill lead the charge in bashing Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Rich exposes the dangerous reality of refusing to fund the very agency tasked with maintaining public safety.

• Secretary Rubio at the G7: Newly minted Secretary of State Marco Rubio isn't holding back on the world stage. Rich analyzes Rubio's blunt message to G7 allies: The U.S. won't be bullied into bad deals, and it’s time for the world to step up on global security—starting with the Strait of Hormuz.

• The Missing Scientists: In a story that sounds like a sci-fi thriller, a string of disappearances involving high-level scientists and military officials—most notably Maj. Gen. William "Neil" McCasland—has the UFO community on edge. With the Trump administration pledging to open the vault on UAPs, why are the experts vanishing?

• Aliens.gov: The government officially registers a domain for extraterrestrial info? Rich discusses the timing of this move and what the "stay tuned" message from the White House really means for transparency.

We shift focus to the domestic front where the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded due to a standoff with radical Democrats. Zeoli explains how this shutdown is directly hitting travelers, specifically highlighting the closure of multiple terminals at Philadelphia International Airport. We analyze the comments from Congressman Jason Crow, who made the startling claim that funding ICE would lead to the deportation of American citizens—a narrative Zeoli dismantles as a total distraction from the mission of removing violent criminals.

The show also covers the tragic murder of a student in Chicago and the refusal of local leaders like Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker to take accountability for their sanctuary policies. We examine new legislation in New Jersey signed by Mikie Sherrill that further restricts law enforcement from working with federal agents, even in cases involving hit-and-run suspects. Finally, we celebrate a massive win at the Supreme Court that allows parents to opt their children out of classroom materials that conflict with their religious faith, a major step for liberty in the education system.

The show shifts to the domestic battle over Department of Homeland Security funding and the Save America Act. Rich explains the procedural games being played in the Senate, where Republican leadership is accused of using budget reconciliation as a "head fake" to avoid a real vote on voter ID. We also react to the theatrical grandstanding of local officials like Larry Krasner and Cory Booker, who are busy targeting ICE agents at airports while travelers deal with horrific security lines and a lack of common-sense solutions.

Zeoli also covers a massive legal blow to Meta after a jury found the company liable for creating an addictive product and misleading parents. We discuss the cultural shift toward digital "sports," as New Jersey schools begin offering tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships for video games. Rich questions the long-term impact on a generation spending more time on screens than prison inmates spend outdoors, all while politicians like Gavin Newsom and Josh Shapiro try to use "vulnerability" and "trauma" to bond with voters ahead of 2028.

Rich and I then break down a massive unforced error from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. While discussing the DHS funding stalemate, Jeffries let the mask slip—not once, but twice—by demanding that ICE be prohibited from "sensitive locations," specifically naming polling sites. Zeoli highlights how this confirms every suspicion about the push for non-citizen voting. If the goal isn't to allow illegal immigrants to vote, why is keeping immigration enforcement away from the ballot box a "red line" for the Democrats? It’s a stunning lack of self-awareness that proves why trust in our institutions is cratering.

Finally, we shift gears to the West Coast and the legal world. We have a good laugh at Jennifer Newsom’s "First Partner" rebranding and her bizarre, elitist lecture on gender non-conformity that feels more like a Star Wars villain monologue than a relatable political message. On a more serious note, we analyze the Supreme Court oral arguments in Watson v. RNC. Zeoli explains why "Election Day" should actually be a day, not a month-long shopping season, and how Justice Alito is signaling a return to constitutional sanity regarding mail-in deadlines.

The show kicks off with massive news regarding a potential deal with Iran. Zeoli breaks down the latest reports from Palm Beach and Memphis, where the administration suggests a resolution could be days away. We look at the specific demands being handled by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, including the total elimination of nuclear enrichment. However, with Tehran’s state media denying any talks, we question exactly who is sitting at the table and whether the threat of taking out their electrical grid is the ultimate pressure point needed to end this conflict without "boots on the ground."

Rich then pivots to the chaos unfolding at our nation's travel hubs. With TSA call-out rates hitting 40% in cities like Houston and Atlanta, the administration is sending in ICE agents to manage the lines. We react to the wild rhetoric from Hakeem Jeffries, who claims untrained agents might "kill" families on their way to Disney. We also discuss the new mandate that ICE agents remain unmasked at airports to avoid looking like a militarized zone. This leads into the brewing legislative battle over the Save America Act, as Republicans push to tie Homeland Security funding to proof of citizenship and voter ID—a move Zeoli argues is common sense given you need an ID for everything from Sudafed to a Lego store purchase.

Finally, we explore the strange intersection of technology and propaganda. We analyze how Iran and China are using "Lego-ganda"—AI-generated Lego animations—to shape the hearts and minds of younger generations. Then, we look at the bizarre irony of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spending nearly $20,000 in campaign funds on a high-end psychiatrist specializing in ketamine treatments usually reserved for the "one percent" she claims to despise. 

Then, Rich Zeoli welcomes the anchor of Fox News Sunday, Shannon Bream, to discuss her new book, Nothing is Impossible with God. We talk about how ancient stories from the Bible offer a practical roadmap for the challenges people are facing in 2026, from financial instability to deep-seated self-doubt. Zeoli notes that many listeners are feeling the weight of current events, and Shannon explains that these historical figures faced the same internal battles of loneliness and fear that we deal with today.

We dive deep into the concept of integrity by looking at the life of Daniel, who resisted the cultural pressures of the Babylonian Empire for decades. Get her book now: https://www.amazon.com/Nothing-Impossible-God-Heroes-Overcoming/dp/0063487659

We also talked politics, specifically Senator John Fetterman and Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania as a potential model for the country. Zeoli explores the idea that putting country and conviction over party tribalism is the only way to move past the current political gridlock.

We look at the dire warnings from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who predicts that air travel will soon come to a grid halt as TSA agents miss full payments. Zeoli explains that the Republican messaging on this disaster is failing, as travelers trapped in terminals are forced to watch CNN blame the crisis on the administration. Rich and the team break down how the radical base of the Democrat party is driving this dysfunction, refusing to implement even the oversight and reforms they previously demanded.

The conversation shifts to the shifting political sands in Pennsylvania and the potential "long con" of John Fetterman. We analyze the latest polling showing a 100% approval rating for Trump among the MAGA GOP, even as figures like Tucker Carlson raise dark theories about blackmail and the military-industrial complex. Finally, we celebrate a major First Amendment victory for a first grader in California who was punished for drawing an "All Lives Matter" picture, proving that even the youngest Americans have the right to speak their minds without being labeled by a school principal.

Zeoli breaks down the conflicting narratives surrounding the resignation from online personalities and in podcasts, noting how the head of counterterrorism leaving over the Iran conflict has become a political Rorschach test. While some view him as a brave whistleblower, others see a self-serving move. We discuss Karoline Leavitt’s recent comments where she dismissed claims of foreign manipulation as laughable, highlighting that the administration views the resignation as "deeply unfortunate" and filled with falsehoods. Rich argues that the best way to settle the intensifying debate within the base is for the administration to share the actual intelligence regarding Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities with the American people immediately.

The conversation shifts to the increasingly desperate rhetoric from the left, specifically James Carville’s latest pivot. After years of claiming Trump would be a "dictator for life," Carville is now predicting he will simply quit the presidency within a year. We point out the absurdity of these flip-flopping warnings—is he a king or a quitter? We also look at Mikie Sherrill and other Democrats trying to channel their own version of "fiery" energy, which usually results in embarrassing "Trump cover band" impressions. Zeoli then takes a look at the massive fraud allegations surfacing in California’s hospice industry, where "consultants" are reportedly teaching people how to scam the system to buy Maybachs, all while Gavin Newsom’s administration looks the other way.

We wrap up by dismantling one of the most destructive lies in modern history: the "Population Bomb." With the death of Paul Ehrlich, we reflect on how his failed predictions of global starvation and mass extinction shaped decades of radical environmental policy and indoctrination in schools. Rich contrasts those dark myths with the reality of human ingenuity and technology which ended famines and increased life expectancy. We also dive into the creepy reality of modern privacy threats, revealing how your car’s tire pressure sensors are unencrypted and could be used by hackers to track your daily routine. Finally, we look at the tanking TV ratings for the Oscars, proving that the public is officially done with being lectured by Hollywood elites.

Zeoli breaks down the absolute mess at TSA checkpoints where officers are quitting because they aren’t getting paid. We discuss how Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats are refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security because they want to protect illegal immigrants from ICE. We see the frustration boiling over as travelers are ready to punch through walls while the radical left holds our national security hostage over political games.

We also dive into the major shakeup in Washington following the resignation of Joe Kent from the National Counterterrorism Center. Zeoli analyzes Kent’s letter to the President, where he admits he cannot in good conscience support a war with Iran that he believes was manufactured by foreign interests. We look at the heated debate within the administration as press secretary Karoline Leavitt fires back, insisting the threat from Iran was imminent. We explore the balance between loyalty to the President and the constitutional obligation to resign when missions no longer align with personal conviction.

Zeoli wraps up the show with a look at some of the most bizarre and infuriating stories in the news cycle, from the "Gay Ayatollah" rumors to Joy Reid’s latest unhinged comparison. We laugh at the "psyop" intelligence suggesting Iran’s new Supreme Leader has a secret life, and we take Joy Reid to task for suggesting American women are just as oppressed as those living under the Iranian regime. Plus, we look at the disturbing move by OpenAI to allow erotica, which experts warn could create a "sexy suicide coach" for millions of minors.

Zeoli also dives into the "Great Podcast War" erupting between massive media personalities like Mark Levin, Megyn Kelly, and Tucker Carlson. We look at the divide within the MAGA movement regarding the war in Iran and whether these online battles actually mirror the concerns of the average person filling up their tank. We alternate between analyzing the political fallout and the strange personal attacks that have come to define this era of digital attention and clicks.

Finally, we shift gears to the culture and the bizarre news of the day. Rich looks at the new diversity quotas for the Oscars and why historical films might no longer qualify for Best Picture. We also address the groundbreaking documentary claiming the famous 1967 Bigfoot footage was a total hoax involving a brother-in-law in a costume. Whether it is the FCC threatening broadcast licenses or Jane Fonda wearing pins at the Oscars, we cover the intersection of the real world and the online ecosphere.

First, we break down the harrowing details of two major incidents being investigated as acts of terrorism. We look at the shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, where a gunman with prior ISIS ties opened fire in a classroom before being neutralized by brave ROTC students. Then, we head to Michigan to discuss the targeted attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, where a vehicle-ramming and shooting attempt was thwarted by on-site security.

We also dive into the Department of Transportation’s major crackdown on commercial driver licenses (CDLs). With the Trump administration enforcing new "English proficiency" standards and revoking licenses for thousands of undocumented and temporary-status drivers, we discuss what this means for the supply chain and highway safety. Derrick Barrs, Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration gives us all the details. 

Finally, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future, joins the show to discuss the surge in energy prices. As conflict in the Middle East puts pressure on the pump, Daniel breaks down Turner says Spare me the crocodile tears from democrats who wanted high gas prices and why he believes American energy dominance is the only way out of the current crunch.

In This Episode:

• ODU & Michigan Under Attack: A look at the investigations into the recent campus and synagogue violence.

• The CDL Crackdown: How the federal government is tightening the rules on immigrant truckers and the "Dalilah Law."

• Energy and AI: Daniel Turner on why the left's policies on energy would cost you even more at the pump,

• California vs. The Feds: The brewing legal battle over highway funding and licensing regulations.

We then shift our focus to the surreal state of international affairs, where the Iranian regime has apparently resorted to using a nine-foot-tall cardboard cutout of their new Supreme Leader. Rich dives into the Wikileaks reports regarding the new leader’s history of seeking medical treatment for impotence in the UK, questioning the stability of a theocracy led by a man who literally cannot show his face—or much else. We also examine the latest polling data, which reveals a massive supermajority of Americans, across all racial and political lines, are demanding the passage of the Save Act to ensure voter ID and protect women’s sports.

Finally, we dismantle the media’s desperate attempt to provide cover for radicalism. Zeoli calls out the "Ron Burgundy" excuses from CNN’s Abby Phillips after the network tried to paint ISIS-inspired bombers as "victims" of a warm day in New York. We wrap up with a look at the insane rhetoric coming from figures like Whoopi Goldberg, who suggested the war in Iran was a distraction from a missing person case involving a news anchor's mother. From the "Zeezer" pronoun nonsense to the bravery of athletes like Brooke Slusser, we cover the front lines of the cultural and political battles defining the nation right now.

We talk about the political pressure building on Republicans ahead of the midterm elections and why comments from Lindsey Graham about sending American sons and daughters to fight overseas sparked backlash.

On this episode, Rich cuts through the mainstream noise to reveal the internal fracturing of the Democratic Party. We’re moving past the talking points to look at a party in the midst of a full-blown civil war. From James Carville’s public demand for Rep. Ilhan Omar to exit the party, to the rising influence of the Democratic Socialists of America, Rich breaks down why this shift toward Marxist rhetoric isn't just hyperbole—it’s an open strategy.

What’s On Today’s Agenda:

• The Virginia Redistricting Scheme: There is a coordinated effort to effectively erase every Republican seat in the state. Backed by Barack Obama, this redistricting isn't just about local lines; it’s a calculated move to secure the White House in 2028. Rich explains why Governor Spanberger’s claims of this being "temporary" are a dangerous distraction.

• The Newsom Factor: Gavin Newsom is back with a fresh coat of hair gel and a new round of election conspiracy theories. We ask the tough (and slightly tongue-in-cheek) questions: Is the polished image enough to mask the misinformation?

• Wartime Production & The Economy: As the conflict in Iran expands, President Trump is ramping up domestic weapons production. We analyze the long-term outlook of this war and the potential "October Surprise"—could skyrocketing gas prices flip the upcoming midterms?

"This isn't just a shift in policy; it's a fight for the structural foundation of the country. If the redistricting holds and the radicals stay at the door, the map changes forever."

Don't miss this deep dive into the stories the media refuses to touch.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🚪 The DHS Shakeup: Noem to Mullin
It moved fast. President Trump announced that Kristi Noem is transitioning out of DHS to become the "Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas." Rich explains why this "new title" reads like a soft landing after Noem's brutal week on Capitol Hill. Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin is set to take the reins on March 31—and surprisingly, John Fetterman has already signaled he's an "Aye" on the confirmation.

🏛️ The Walz Whistleblower Bombshell
Over on the Hill, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced the music regarding the staggering fraud allegations in his state. We’re talking about $9 billion in potential Medicaid fraud and the infamous Feeding Our Future mess. Rich dives into the whistleblower claims that staff were silenced and the "labels" used to shut down internal critics. Is this just about taxpayer money, or does the trail lead to campaign activity?

🗳️ The Political Chessboard: Texas & 2028
The Texas Showdown: Ken Paxton and John Cornyn are headed for a massive runoff. Rich analyzes how a Trump endorsement could end this overnight and why James Talarico is inadvertently helping the GOP.
Newsom’s Blame Game: Gavin Newsom sat down with Katie Couric and pointed the finger at... Ronald Reagan? Rich breaks down why blaming a 40-year-old legacy for today's California problems is a massive political unforced error.

📺 Media & Markets
David Ellison is making moves at Paramount and CNN. We discuss his pitch to get back into the "Trust Business" and whether CNN can actually survive its current ratings tailspin by trying to be everything to everyone.

We talk through the Talarico hype machine, the Stephen Colbert “equal time” fugazi, and why Zeoli thinks Democrats are about to run the same script they ran with Beto O’Rourke—just with a new face. But Texas isn’t flipping blue anytime soon.

Then Rich pivots hard to the Middle East and the politics back home. We react to the escalating conflict with Iran, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s shocking news about the sinking of an Iranian warship. The War Powers vote is looming. Why is it that Democrats didn’t demand Congressional authorization when Obama bombed Libya but are obsessed with Trump’s actions on Iraq? The hypocrisy doesn’t hold up to Fox News’ Bill Melugin’s great questioning of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. 

Republicans, for the most par,t are all standing firm with President Trump on Iran and there is no way the war powers are going to be taken away from Trump. This is Democrat political theater. 
Zeoli then turns the spotlight on the intraparty knife-fight: Kristi Noem getting hammered by Republican senators, including blistering criticism from Tom Tillis and a grilling from John Kennedy over DHS ad spending. Is this the end for Noem? 

Republicans are grilling Tim Walz over Minnesota fraud and a whistleblower claims that they hid the fraud because of Islamophobia and Racism. Congressman Brendan Gill hammers him over how they ignored and retaliated against whistleblowers who brought to light billions of dollars in fraud. 
Then we hit Gavin Newsom’s newest victim routine— his dyslexia talk and his signals on Israel—and wrap with a run through the latest cultural weirdness, policy gimmicks, and a Broadway-style obsession that says plenty about where the activist left is headed.

Did Israel push the U.S. into action? Rich unpacks the controversy, the online firestorm, and then the big reveal…President Trump says he forced Israel’s hand not the other way around! 

Later, we tackle the media’s favorite new narrative: "The collapse of MAGA." Rich explains why the "base-vs.-base" feud is being wildly oversold and looks at the real political risks—including the specter of "boots on the ground" and long-term mission creep.
Plus, a series of domestic flashpoints: a major Supreme Court win for parental rights, the chaotic Epstein hearings featuring a Hillary Clinton walkout, and Kristi Noem flipping the script on Democrats. Finally, Jack Carr joins the show to discuss his new novel The Fourth Option, the history of Iranian proxies, and what a clear objective looks like in today's Middle East.

How will Democrats react?  Senator John Fetterman is taking a noticeably pro-strike posture while the War Powers clock hangs over everything. Will Democrats oppose the President and revoke his power with Iran? Will it even last that long? 

What does regime change look like and how can that be accomplished but most importantly, is there a clear and consistent message coming from the Administration? 

Zeoli gets into the confusion swirling on social media, including Matt Walsh’s critique and Karoline Leavitt’s detailed response spelling out targets like missiles, Iran’s navy, terror proxies, and nukes. We talk regime change—whether people admit it or not—then bring in Prince Reza Pahlavi’s vision for a post-regime Iran and the real-world problem nobody can dodge: if people are told to rise up, who’s supplying the firepower?

From there, we pivot to the money: China, oil, and the Strait of Hormuz. Rich walks through why cutting off flows from Iran and nearby exporters is a direct hit on Beijing’s energy needs—and how that creates pressure across the Gulf. We also hit the bizarre side plot of prediction markets offering bets tied to Khomeini’s fate, plus the immediate calls in Washington to ban it.

Then we switch gears to the border and the census. We play Tom Homan’s answer to Bill Maher about why Democrats let the border blow open, and we connect it to congressional seats, sanctuary cities, and electoral math. We close with Mikie Sherrill blaming Trump while teeing up taxes in New Jersey, and we end on a much-needed palate cleanser: the McDonald’s CEO going viral while acting like he’s never eaten a hamburger in his life.

00:00 - Trump says 3–4 weeks… maybe longer
00:59 - What happens after the Ayatollah’s death: succession, regional fallout, China

Then Rich connects the dots to the long campaign against “toxic masculinity,” pointing to how easily narratives get weaponized—bringing up the Rolling Stone UVA story, the damage it did, and how campus Title IX processes turned into guilt-first tribunals. Zeoli takes it back to America’s founding spirit, arguing the country was built by men willing to risk everything, and that the modern panic over winners, losers, and toughness isn’t accidental.

We also get into two very different Olympic stories: Alysa Liu’s family being targeted by the Chinese government and her pride in repping the United States, versus Eileen Gu competing for China and acting shocked that people took it personally. Rich makes the case that winning isn’t a “men-only” thing—when women win we cheer, when men win we cheer, and when America wins we should act like it.

After that, Zeoli unloads on Zoran Mamdani for brushing off adults pelting police with ice as a “snowball fight,” and we talk through what that says about political hostility toward law enforcement, accountability, and what prosecutors will actually do. We wrap with a sharp Senate-hearing exchange featuring Bernie Sanders and Markwayne Mullin, plus Medicaid and Medicare fraud chatter that drags Gavin Newsom into the spotlight—before ending with a sarcastic riff on frog costumes, protest theater, and what passes for “heroism” in 2026.

We bounce from the funniest clips of the night to the sharpest fights in Washington, including Nancy Pelosi getting called out over insider trading and the weird “graded it before it happened” campus reactions to the speech. Zeoli and Matt DeSantis lay out why the whole thing matters, why the optics hit so hard, and why the other side looked frozen in place when the subject turned to basic issues like citizens, crime, and accountability.

Then we land the big interviews. We talk with Border Czar Tom Homan about sanctuary cities, cooperation with local law enforcement, cartels, fentanyl, the stakes for ICE and Border Patrol, and the push to locate children lost under the previous administration—plus Angel Mom Recognition Day and why that’s personal for him. From there, Rich sits down with Ambassador Kelly Loeffler on small business optimism, lending, deregulation, “Made in America,” and what it takes to rebuild supply chains so the U.S. isn’t dependent on China for essentials.

Zeoli also welcomes Energy Secretary Chris Wright on powering data centers, lowering electricity prices, why blue-state energy policy drives investment away, and why nuclear, natural gas, and reliability matter when demand spikes. And we wrap with health and food policy: Admiral Brian Christine on drug pricing, dietary guidelines, and the administration’s priorities at HHS, followed by Kyle Diamantis on ultra-processed foods, SNAP changes, school lunch direction, food dyes, and the debate over glyphosate.

We then get into the gold medal hockey controversy that should not be a controversy: the guys laughing at Trump’s locker-room joke. Rich explores the social media outrage. Zeoli points out how quickly a customary White House invite becomes a loyalty test, and why the players are forced to play defense instead of just being able to bask in their well-earned Olympic glory. 

Can Gavin Newsom read or not? He’s getting hammered for comments on his book tour with Cornel West, unloading on him for being a racist. We discuss how Mexico was able to kill drug cartel kingpin El Mencho through a romantic connection, and a viral post about Puerto Vallarta that leads to a side question on the left’s ever-growing acronym soup. 

Another arrest in Britain related to Jeffrey Epstein.DOJ recordings have Epstein discussing intelligence, blackmail, and high-level access. More evidence he was a spy? 

The New York Police Department gets pelted with snowballs and it's not a fun game for kids. It's because Mayor Mamdani has created a culture of disrespect towards the cops. The Trump Justice Department is suing New Jersey over Mikie Sherrill’s order limiting ICE cooperation at prisons. Why wouldn't NJ want to hand over criminals to ICE? Criminals who are in…prison. And we end on a question you've always wanted the answer to. So don't miss today's episode!

We walk through Nicki Minaj’s reaction, why Zeoli says it’s not a slip-up, and how Newsom’s furious response to Sean Hannity turns into a loud, profane tough-guy act that feels like a bad attempt to out-Trump Trump.

We pivot to Newsom’s book-tour circuit and the whole “my kids decide if I run” routine, plus the awkward dance around Kamala Harris and what happens if their ambitions collide. Rich also hits the California exodus question and calls out the spin, then the show shifts gears into a much-needed win: Team USA taking hockey gold over Canada. Zeoli and Jared relive the moment, the patriotism, the jokes, and the predictable media meltdown that tries to turn a sports victory into a political fight—while the team gets invites and the internet briefly behaves for about five minutes.

From there, we get into the celeb-politics lane: Bruce Springsteen’s “save America” tour, the ticket prices, the security gates, and the hypocrisy question—if borders and IDs are so evil, why does entry come with screens, checkpoints, and a pricey digital ticket? Rich then plays the unfiltered clip of Katie Porter leading a chant that shows where Democrat energy is right now, and follows it with Susan Rice’s warning that an “accountability agenda” is coming for corporations once Democrats get power again.

We close with Zeoli going after AOC’s condescending snow rant, then her “it’s your fault if you think I sounded unprepared” defense on foreign policy. The final stretch zooms into New York: Zoran Mamdani’s property tax push and the snow-shoveler hiring program that suddenly demands documentation—because “federal law”—even though the same crowd treats federal authority as optional in other areas. Rich lays out why the ID argument collapses the second money and payroll get involved, and why the hypocrisy is impossible to miss.

A former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Victoria Coates is Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. With decades of experience as a national security advisor in Congress, federal agencies, and the White House, Coates leads the Davis Institute in designing and promoting policies that prioritize the security of American citizens while protecting our interests around the world.  

In the episode, Zeoli and Coates discuss the newly formed "Board of Peace", the potential for military conflict with Iran, and the potential for regime change in Cuba. Will President Trump take military action against Iran? What were the key points of Secretary Rubio's speech in Munich and will we actually "take" Greenland? 

A very special conversation on international policy and foreign relations. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The conversation then shifts to the brewing war over free speech. Zeoli breaks down the Stephen Colbert vs. CBS drama regarding Texas candidate James Talarico. Was it a "banned" interview or a calculated move to navigate the FCC’s Equal Time Rule? We look at how FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is tightening the screws on broadcast fairness, and why this sets a precedent for all media during an election cycle.

Plus, we tackle the global push against expression: Emmanuel Macron recently calling free speech "BS" in the context of algorithmic transparency, and Hillary Clinton praising European speech crackdowns. Zeoli also dives into school choice and the federal scholarship dollars that democrat governors are refusing to touch because they are terrified of the teacher unions. We wrap with the "synthetic movie" revolution and why Hollywood’s reliance on spectacle is backfiring as AI begins to outpace the studio system.

Rich Zeoli breaks down why Stephen Colbert’s “equal time” freakout is pure theater and why CBS attorneys — not the FCC — are driving the whole mess. We lay out how Colbert uses the James Tallarico interview as a publicity stunt to funnel viewers to YouTube, while Tallarico plays the victim and rakes in millions. Zeoli also explains why you can hate Colbert and still think the equal-time rule is outdated — and why keeping the FCC around is a gift to Democrats who want a bigger speech-regulation hammer.

We also get into the long game: Rich warns that the same political crowd that pushed censorship pressure during COVID-era debates wants regulators to reach far past broadcast TV. Zeoli plays clips and reacts to the talking points behind speech control, including Hillary Clinton praising Europe’s approach and the broader push to police what people say on major platforms. We connect it to how corporate lawyers behave, how fear becomes policy, and why abolishing the FCC now is the cleanest way to stop a future crackdown.

Then we pivot into the rest of the chaos: Rich reacts to Greg Gutfeld’s comments, Lawrence Jones’s argument about mental health and firearm forms, and Pramila Jayapal’s new “Trans Bill of Rights” push. Zeoli also has fun with the media’s “racist” label game, a too-perfect Don Lemon clip, and a shockingly slick computer-made movie trailer that looks like it came straight from Hollywood. We close with a wild Philadelphia segment — the mayor dodges the sanctuary city question in real time, and Rich pitches a brutally simple idea for the Washington’s House exhibit that would drive the local political class up a wall.

Rich Zeoli opens by arguing the Democrats don’t run a real grassroots nomination at all—superdelegates and party power brokers do—and that’s why the party keeps shutting down insurgent candidates year after year. We lay out how Biden in 2016, Bernie in 2016 and 2020, and even Kamala’s path all fit the same template: the decision gets made first, the “process” comes later.

Zeoli then turns to why Gavin Newsom’s 2028 “inevitable” storyline starts wobbling fast, pointing to Barack Obama’s public criticism of California’s homelessness approach and why that’s a brutal hit on Newsom’s core record. Rich also plays Nancy Pelosi praising Newsom while still hedging with “a great bench,” and we riff on Newsom’s latest third-term Trump talk—plus the merch-and-hats logic that’s being used to whip people up.

We shift to the overseas clips that light the match: Trump blasting Newsom and AOC as embarrassing on the world stage, and AOC’s Taiwan answer becoming the kind of footage opponents replay forever. From there, we move into the political aftershocks: Pelosi attacking the SAVE Act and voter ID, an old Schumer clip surfacing that cuts against today’s Democratic messaging, and why the fight over elections is only getting louder.

Then Rich gets into the Epstein spiral—Hillary Clinton distancing herself, Bill Maher walking back years of mockery, and how this story is turning into a career-destroyer even for people accused of nothing. We also hit a separate alarm bell: concerns about federal firearms transaction records being digitized into a massive searchable system, and why lawmakers are demanding answers.

To close it out, we play the viral street-level chaos: an anti-ICE confrontation in Minnesota, protest stunts in big-box stores, a bizarre “chicken funeral” scene, and a sharp exchange in a Minnesota hearing focused on fraud and welfare stats. And yes—we even wrap with an Italian phrase of the day.

In this episode:

The Munich Beauty Pageant: AOC, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer hit the world stage to audition for 2028. We dissect AOC’s viral non-answer on Taiwan and why Newsom’s habit of trashing the U.S. while praising China’s EV machine is a massive red flag for American supply chains.

The "Trump-Derangement" Loop: Rosie O’Donnell is still fixated, this time from abroad. What does her latest spiral say about the media’s inability to move on?

The War on Speech: Al Gore wants to "ban" social media algorithms. We explain why this is less about safety and more about a desperate grab for narrative control.

AI vs. Hollywood: Between "bullying" bots and a terrifyingly realistic AI-generated brawl between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, the tech panic has reached a boiling point. Plus, we look at the privacy win involving doorbell cameras and law enforcement surveillance.

The Epstein Shadow: Why "Pizzagate" talk and Epstein document chatter refuse to leave the mainstream conversation despite disputed evidence.

There used to be a saying, politics ends at the water's edge. Don't tell that to Gavin Newsom's greasy hair or AOC as they go to Munich to trash America, trash Trump and declare the need for a wealth tax. They are clearly running for president and seeing this as their chance to grandstand on the world stage. Speaking of presidential candidates, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro comes out against The Save Act and his excuse his ridiculous. But he's a democrat and worried about his dead constituents in Philadelphia not being able to vote. 

Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future joins Rich to discuss the repeal of Obama's climate rules and what it means for our wallets. Obama did this without any Congressional authorization but it's bigger than that. It's all about money for democrats from green energy groups. 

It's a Friday show with lots of great news including how McDonald's is getting in on the Make America Healthy Again movement by offering more protein. Plus, NBC News apologizes for calling a woman...a woman. Make sure you subscribe and tell your friends.

Then we hit voter ID. We walk through the SAVE Act passing the House and the predictable meltdown from Democrats, while Barack Obama urges the Senate to block it—despite footage circulating of Obama showing ID to vote for… Barack Obama. Obama is a hypocrite because he never had problems with Americans using ID's to visit him at the White House, travel, or exercise their second amendment rights. 

From there, we pivot to Capitol Hill heat: Pam Bondi gets pressed on Jeffrey Epstein and election integrity, and we talk through why the Epstein situation is such a mess. Nancy Mace promises we will soon know names but will we really? Zeoli has long said the truth about Epstein will never come out because he was most likely an intelligence asset and there are too many powerful nations, not just people, that want the truth covered up. 

We also get into the 2028 audition circuit: Gavin Newsom’s latest cringe moment as his wife jumps into a press event to the lecture the media. The media’s never-ending effort to polish Newsom’s image—right down to gushing coverage of his fake high-speed rail train to nowhere. Then we take the fast train to the East Coast where Governor Mikie Sherrill signs executive orders to block cooperation with ICE. She's clearly bored with being Governor and ready to run for President. 

But today is a great day for less government as Trump rolls back the EPA and democrats show that whether it's voter id or working with ICE, they will fight Trump at every turn whether it's popular with the public or not. It's all about the crazy base. 

00:00 Trump Ends EPA Madness Once and For All 
00:59 Why auto stop-start drives everyone nuts
03:32 SAVE Act passes House and the Dems vow to block it in the Senate 
05:18 Obama urges Senate to block it; clip of him showing ID resurfaces

18:45 Epstein talk and why Zeoli thinks the full story stays hidden
25:46 Gavin Newsom's Beta Male Moment
33:57 Media gushes over California high-speed rail “progress”
38:30 Mikie Sherrill, ICE restrictions, and the Gateway Tunnel fight
53:18 Democrats cater to the primary base and that base is nuts 
56:05 Chuck Schumer’s low energy chant 
57:59 Today is a win for less government

The left loves being judgmental and being the "good" person and deciding who is or isn't based on the cause du jour. Have you worn your Anti-Ice pin today? This is where a Democrat member of Congress goes straight for afterlife judgment and accuses ICE of routinely killing people. We unpack why the wording is the whole point. Rich ties it back to the larger habit on the left of moral lecturing—who’s “good,” who’s “bad,” and how their moralizing keeps hurting them electorally.

Then it's the fight over "The SAVE Act" and the newest claim that voter ID is somehow anti-woman. Rich points out the polling reality and the way the talking points keep shifting when the old accusations don’t land. The fact is, Voter ID is popular with literally everyone and democrats arguing that it's racist and sexist is simply ridiculous. 

From there, we get into Ring’s Super Bowl commercial about lost pets and ask the question...is all of this surveillance a good idea? Rich examines their ties to big government and a puff piece TV interview where the tough questions disappear the second the founder says the C word. Plus a savage spoof ad that nails what people are actually worried about. 

But if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear, right? Wrong! How many times have we seen government weaponized against us but these big tech companies brush aside these privacy concerns like we're all idiots as they casually turn data over to government without even a warrant. 

Remember how the Biden DOJ once said MAGA extremists were the greatest threat to national security and people were thrown in jail for not following covid protocols? These sypbells give government another tool to track us all in the name of...finding lost pets. 

Finally, Zeoli gets into the Gateway Rail Tunnel funding brawl where grandstanding politicians like Senators Chuck Schumer and Cory Booker join Governor Mikie Sherrill to blast President Trump over naming rights-because fighting Trump IS the point. It's never about compromise. They don't actually want to see this project move forward, they want to scream about MAGA and be the resistance. 

00:00 Dems ICE rhetoric reaches new absurdity 
00:59 Privacy fears and the day’s political pileup
04:29 The left’s moral lecturing and why voters hate it
08:41 Zeoli’s boat mess + the mask scolding story

We lay out how the Obama-era “endangerment finding” became the legal foundation for sweeping regulations and government money grabs, and why Zeoli thinks EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s move is the biggest deregulation play yet — with ripple effects for everything from your car to national security. Make no mistake, this is a huge win for sanity and a huge loss to the administrative state. 

We also get into the Democrats’ latest meltdown over ICE, with members of Congress tossing around “KKK,” “slave patrol,” and “Gestapo” comparisons in hearings. Rich and the crew walk through the most unhinged lines, why it’s all about viral clips, and what happens when the same people screaming about “paramilitary forces” are literally sitting in the oversight chair doing… oversight.

Then we connect the dots: Big Tobacco-style lawsuits now aimed at social media. We talk about the court fights portraying social media platforms as “digital casinos,” and how “protecting kids” turns into a backdoor push for government control of speech and algorithms. Zeoli argues parents still matter, the panic is being weaponized, and the endgame is the same: more government control. All in the name of the children. 

Think about all of the Biden Administration's efforts to police speech. When the government steps in to "protect" your kids from social media, it's really about gaining greater control over everyone's online speech. Think COVID disinformation, the Hunter Biden laptop, and hate speech censorship. Don't fall for the idea this is about protecting kids. 

From there, we hit the Epstein angle and the absolute vindication of Donald Trump — including new reporting that Trump contacted Palm Beach law enforcement back in 2006 and allegedly urged them to look hard at Ghislaine Maxwell. So was Trump setting up the democrats the entire time to pursue the Epstein case knowing he would be vindicated? Is this why the Biden Justice Department did nothing for 4 years? 

Finally, Elizabeth Warren's voter ID conspiracy theory doesn't survive five seconds of basic reality and more crazy Trump haters to ruin your shopping experience.

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backed a far left progressive who won a special election to fill a Congressional seat. Her platform: fight the oligarchy, fight ICE, fight Trump. Fighting Trump IS the point these days for Democrats. Not compromise. Not cooperation. Fighting and obstruction. That's how they think they'll win in 2028.

Whether it's New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill suing Trump and vowing to block ICE or Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro vowing to fight an ICE detention facility in his state, these so called "moderate" democrats are all about appealing to their extremist base. 

Rich then plays his latest Fox News segment from America’s Newsroom and we talk about the on-air clash with a Democrat guest insisting that progressive victories are outliers. We also get the behind-the-scenes hallway moment, where the guest admits he won’t go on MSNBC or certain CNN shows because he’s “not far left enough”—which says plenty about where the party’s center of gravity sits.

We pivot to the ICE-vs-everyone theatre: protests, corporate pressure campaigns, and the “boycott the yoga studio” vibe that turns politics into performance. Zeoli’s point is simple—this stuff isn’t fringe anymore, it’s mainstream behavior inside the coalition, and it keeps getting rewarded. And no, it's not just an excuse for Zeoli to play a clip of women in yoga pants. 

Even as polls show overwhelming support for voter ID laws, democrats continue to block The Save Act, arguing it's racist and sexist but not being able to actually explain why. Zeoli caps it with Kamala Harris’s famous word salad: “prove who you are… but not like that”  and we have some fun with how absurd that logic sounds when you apply it anywhere else.

If you haven't had enough cringe in your day, how about Governor Mikie Sherrill giving a weather report in Spanish. It's no bueno. She also thinks it's part of her job...to be a meteorologist? It's the nanny state pandering that the left loves and drives rationale adults insane. But what you may have forgotten is that there was a time when Joe Biden and Chris Matthews' both agreed everyone needed to speak English to unite our country. Now we have Bad Bunny doing an entire halftime show in Spanish. 

Lastly, have you noticed how the Super Bowl commercials have become either all AI or all big name celebrities?

From Chuck Schumer calling Voter ID Jim Crow 2.0 to Senator Ed Markey saying Trump is going to steal voting machines to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries saying Trump is going to steal ballots, democrats sound like unhinged lunatics. Even Stephen A. Smith and Bill Maher are pushing back on their claims that The Save Act is racist. But wait, there more. They also say voter ID laws are sexist. Is this all a secret plan to keep women from voting? Apparently, it's just about overturning the 19th Amendment! What an idiotic thing for democrats say when Republicans tend to do very well with married women and Donald Trump even won married female voters in 2024. 

Also, are Trump supporters MAGA Minions or MAGA sycophants? Democrats can't seem to keep their insults consistent. 

Dads matter! A new study shows that Dad being present in their kids lives matters more than we realized and Zeoli gets personal about being more present with his three kids. We need to do more to boost fatherhood in America and make sure Dads are involved in their kids lives. But if you are involved in your kids lives you probably don't have time to protect ICE by popping a squat in Target. 

Our friends at Surge Philly released a viral Target protest video showing unhinged leftists and it makes sense why more people are leaving blue states for red states when you hear democrat members of Congress from New Jersey call for the abolishment of ICE. 

We close with a grab bag that still lands heavy: the “Ribbon of Death” Olympic downhill course, a Super Bowl pick framed by a pope/Seahawks coincidence, and the newest wrinkle in the Jeffrey Epstein case as CBS reports conflicting interpretations of surveillance footage. Was it just sheets or a person near Epstein's cell before his death? 

All of these conspiracies keep coming true! Maher and Stephen A. Smith even go so far as to say the public owes apologies to...QAnon? 

And once again the Governor New Jersey reminds us she's already bored of being Governor and is running for President.

But when you ask actual black Americans about voter ID laws, turns out they don't think it is racist at all. It is racist, however, to suggest they can't get ID. But all of this is just a secret plot for Trump to seize election machines, at least according to the biggest dummy in  the US Senate, Richard Blumenthal.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Congressman Jamie Raskin is a hypocrite who doesn't want the Clintons to be held in contempt for refusing to testify to Congress but that's very different from what he said in the past when people like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro refused to testify. Chairman James Comer has announced the Clintons will testify before the Oversight Committee. What will they say? If anything? 

Then we shift from courts to culture: Vanity Fair writes the most nauseating puff piece on Gavin Newsom but while they spend plenty of time on his hair, they leave out certain things like his failures as Governor, the LA wildfires, businesses fleeing California, and the death of Hollywood on his watch. 

Finally: the question everyone jokes about—until they don’t—is AI finally ready to kill us? What is Moltbook and how concerned should we be that AI is now talking to other AI, creating it's own religion, and even figuring out ways to keep humans from detecting it's plans? 

00:00 - The Deep State comes for Tulsi Gabbard as the US strikes down an Iranian drone. Coincidence? 
10:00 - The lawyer against Tulsi is a CIA hack who led Trump's first impeachment
15:00 - Tulsi is investigating the 2020 election. Is that why the deep state is coming for her? 
25:00 - Chairman Comer gets the Clintons to testify before Congress 
30:00 - Vanity Fair writes the most nauseating puff piece of Gavin Newsom 
40:00 - Body Cams for ICE agents make sense. They protect the cops, they protect the public
50:00 - Has AI finally figured out how to destroy us? What is Moltbook and how worried should we be?

We also get into the security theater surrounding these award shows. Every guest is screened, badges are checked, and armed guards stand watch to protect the elite inside the building. At the same time, many of these same stars blast ICE for doing the very same thing in places like Minneapolis. We talk about how fast the talking points fall apart when comfort, fame, and money are on the line.

Zeoli and the crew cut through the celebrity scolding and media applause to point out what viewers at home already see. If security is good enough for Hollywood, why is it evil everywhere else? If borders and property matter for the wealthy, why shame working Americans for wanting the same things? We say what others won’t and call the hypocrisy exactly what it is.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has no idea what the 10th Amendment means. From there, we review more of the grandstanding: Josh Shapiro’s comments about resisting federal operations, Pramila Jayapal calling to dismantle DHS/ICE/CBP, and the media spin games that keep rewarding the hottest take. We also bring up the New York Times reporting on missing children after the border surge and ask the obvious question—where are the same politicians when the real human horror stories are front and center? And when Sen. Ed Markey starts talking about an election-day Insurrection Act scenario, we call it what it is: panic talk meant to whip people up.

We also play the street-level reality check—protesters who struggle to explain what they’re protesting—and we address the ugly “Nazi/Gestapo” comparisons pushed by voices like Larry Krasner and Stephen Colbert. Sen. John Fetterman steps in with a clear rejection of that talk, and we agree: drop the Nazi labels before somebody decides violence is the next step. Then we hit the celebrity rant circuit, including Giancarlo Esposito’s comments, and why the interviewer’s lack of pushback is part of the problem.

Finally, we share our conversation with Sen. Dave McCormick after Marco Rubio’s testimony. We talk Venezuela, Maduro, oil, fentanyl trafficking routes, and why Iran is at a critical point. McCormick also lays out where the economy is heading, what Pennsylvanians may feel at tax time, and why energy—natural gas and nuclear—sits at the center of jobs, security, and America’s standing. He also talks bipartisanship, including working with Sen. Fetterman where it makes sense, and why Pennsylvania’s energy capacity puts the state at the front of the national push.

In the tale of three democrats, Rich Zeoli kicks off with why Pennsylvania is back at the center of the political universe—and why the 2030 census math has Democrats acting like 2028 is do-or-die. We walk through how people fleeing high-tax blue states could reshape House seats and Electoral College votes, and why that reality is pushing every ambitious Dem into overdrive, with Pennsylvania as the main stage.

Governor Josh Shapiro is the Gavin Newsom of the East Coast. We get into Governor Josh Shapiro’s media tour and what he’s signaling when he talks about terminating enforcement efforts and pushing Congress to cut off funding. Then we contrast that with John Fetterman—who’s now talking about turning over criminals and backing deportations, basically daring his own party to come after him in a primary. We also dig into why that split matters: Shapiro trying to wear the “moderate” label while Fetterman sounds like the guy reading the room in Pennsylvania.

From there, we hit Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner and his rhetoric comparing ICE to Nazis—why that language is reckless, and how it can spark real-world consequences. We also pivot to Minnesota: Tim Walz talking tough in one spot, then calling Tom Homan “a professional” in another, plus Homan’s readout of the meeting and the White House tone shift on the Minneapolis shooting. We even get into Melania’s public call for peace and unity, the upcoming Melania documentary, and the press meltdown around it—before closing out with a Hollywood detour featuring Sydney Sweeney’s Hollywood sign stunt and why trying to “prosecute” her is basically free marketing.

Rich Zeoli kicks things off by laying out why Tom Homan might be just the guy to save the day for this Minnesota mess. We talk about Homan’s approach to the cameras and the message war and how Democrats and legacy outlets react when someone refuses to back down. 

We walk through why the White House sends Tom Homan in, and why the messaging matters as much as the operations. Zeoli explains how the “domestic terrorist” label lands too early, why Kristi Noem’s comments create problems when the facts are still developing, and how Trump changes the posture by publicly calling for a full investigation while working the phones with Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. The point is simple: when officials freelance, the administration ends up doing damage control — and the focus drifts away from the fraud that started the whole fight.

Then we zoom out to the broader media and political theater that piles on top of it all. We play the contrast game with Hillary Clinton’s past statements versus her current posture, we tear apart the viral “ICE left a kid at McDonald’s” storyline, and we roast the absurd distractions — from wall-to-wall cable coverage of a federal official’s jacket to politicians staging “I’m just like you” moments  from democrats. Kathy Hochul makes a fool out of herself giving shoveling tips and the media's obsession with Greg Bovino's jacket hits a new level of absurdity. We need to get back to the real issue in Minnesota...fraud! Including with Governor Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar and her Fugazi wine company. 

Zeoli’s bottom line: calm on the ground matters because chaos is political fuel — and the fastest way to stop losing the message is to stop letting the story become about street disorder instead of accountability.

We also get into the latest shooting, and we keep our heads while a lot of people don’t. Rich breaks down why early statements from figures like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Greg Bovino spark backlash, and why language matters when the Second Amendment and First Amendment show up in the same place. We pull in Dana Loesch’s TV hit to explain the clean distinction: carrying legally is one thing; interfering with law enforcement is another. Then we cover how Caroline Leavitt re-centers the administration’s stance and why gun-rights groups push back hard on the “you’re asking for it” framing.

From there, we look at reporting that points to encrypted Signal coordination, street alerts, and a vehicle-spotting database used to track suspected ICE cars—plus Kash Patel’s comments about investigations into coordinated efforts to impede agents. PLUS Zeoli has some fashion advice after a ridiculous Politico story about Border Chief Greg Bovino's coat.

Then we jump to Capitol Hill chaos. Zeoli reacts to Maxwell Frost dropping the phrase “ethnic cleansing” to describe immigration enforcement, and we contrast that with John Fetterman flat-out backing ICE doing its job. After that, we get into Jack Smith’s testimony and why subpoenas for phone toll records (including members of Congress) set off alarms about separation of powers. Zeoli also hit the FCC angle—Brendan Carr waving “equal time” at late-night hosts—and why giving regulators more muscle can come back to bite everyone. We wrap with Josh Shapiro’s comments about being asked if he’s an agent for Israel during the VP vetting process, plus Hank Johnson’s question about FBI involvement on January 6 that gets dodged.

From there, The Zeoli Podcast gets into the hearing moments that tell you everything about how the two sides see this. We play Jim Jordan’s framing, then react to Jamie Raskin’s comments, and we talk about how the whole “weaponization” push didn’t stop at Trump—it widened to anyone tagged as “MAGA,” including surveillance-style tactics and the way dissent got treated as a threat.

The clip of the day is the lesser Cuomo going full internet tough-guy, the argument over what to call people who cross the border illegally. Gavin Newsom is in Davos defending benefits for people in the country illegally, PLUS Trump is rolling out a “Board of Peace,” the Greenland talk and why the Arctic matters in defense strategy.

We wrap with Michele Tafoya jumping into a Senate run, Tim Walz cheering protests while standing behind a fence, a USPS driver flipping off federal agents, a quick rant on hotel check-in/check-out scams, why alcohol companies are sitting on a mountain of inventory, and a fresh airplane freakout that turns into a bigger argument about booze in the sky.
