Dems Election Conspiracy Hypocrisy + War with Iran Expands + Newsom’s Latest Victim Card

As the war with Iran expands, Rich Zeoli opens the show with the shocker out of Texas: Jasmine Crockett loses her U.S. Senate primary, refuses to concede, and starts yelling fraud while James Talarico becomes the media’s shiny new “Texas is flipping” fantasy. 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. 00:00 - Jasmine Crockett loses Texas primary, screams fraud, won’t concede01:00 - “Wrong Jeffrey Epstein” moment and Crockett exit from Congress02:55 - Media crowns James Tallarico; Zeoli predicts “Beto 3.0”04:51 - Colbert controversy, YouTube boost, and the “equal time” angle07:25 - Iran conflict expands; Hegseth claims Iranian warship sunk09:20 - War Powers vote setup; Massey, Rand Paul, and Bernie consistency talk11:03 - Hakeem Jeffries on Libya vs Iran: the dodge and the backlash15:36 - Studio riff on Jeffries’ excuses and media coaching habits19:14 - Epstein chatter returns; Bill Clinton questioned about an associate’s death23:24 - Kristi Noem under fire: committee heat and “full confidence” warning sign25:15 - Tom Tillis unloads on Noem’s judgment and leadership27:55 - John Kennedy grills Noem on DHS ad spending and optics31:50 - Tim Walz hearing clips and the “what is a woman” exchange33:36 - Gavin Newsom pushes “California derangement syndrome” and fraud pushback37:19 - Newsom’s dyslexia talk; reading, notes, and the “superpower” claim44:22 - Newsom hints at shifting on Israel support as the war grows46:16 - Minnesota fraud allegations, whistleblowers, and “racist/Islamophobic” warnings50:00 - NYC childcare eligibility talk and why fraud magnets spread50:50 - Luigi musical news and the left’s new idol problem52:49 - West Hollywood moves to protect polyamory; fraud loophole jokes56:32 - Papa John’s closures and late-night food confessions57:31 - Bill Clinton fondly remembers massages Zeoli Show is Powered By:🏠 Emmons Roofing and Siding, who deliver protection, peace of mind, and true crafts
