May 6, 2026 - Will Fetterman Join the GOP? China is Behind the AI Doomsday Machine!

On Today’s Show:👉 The quiet GOP effort to flip John Fetterman to an Independent👉 Katie Porter’s "F Trump" campaign strategy backfires in California👉 Why the Trump-backed primary sweep in Indiana proves he still owns the GOP👉 The billionaire funded "AI Doom" machine designed to stall American innovation👉 Lindsey Graham’s "Second Amendment Solution" for the Iranian people Rich Zeoli kicks off the program by breaking down the absolute chaos of the California gubernatorial debate and its massive ripple effects for us in Pennsylvania. While the corporate media focuses on a non-existent rift in the Republican party, we look at the actual primary results where Trump-backed candidates just dominated in Indiana. The real story is the massive civil war tearing Democrats apart, as local races in California force leaders like Josh Shapiro to answer for the radical "F Trump" rhetoric of Katie Porter. Zeoli asks the tough question: what does it even mean to "act like a Democrat" anymore in this radicalized political environment? We dive deep into the shocking reports that Senate Republicans are actively courting John Fetterman to ditch the Democrat party and caucus with the GOP. Rich discusses Shapiro’s public pressure on Fetterman to stay in line, while moderate voices like Barney Frank and Rahm Emanuel warn that the party has moved way too far to the left. From Larry Krasner’s threats against federal agents to the push for free healthcare for illegal aliens in California, the party’s platform is becoming unrecognizable to normal voters. Rich also exposes the "blue tape" redistricting schemes in New Jersey aimed at wiping out the last remaining Republican seats to tilt the scales in the House. The conversation then shifts to the sinister forces behind the "AI Doom" movement. Rich reveals how billionaire donors and Chinese officials are oddly aligned in a mission to scare the American public and slow down our domestic tech development. While Bernie Sanders hosts panels on the "existential threat" of technology, China is moving full steam ahead with a five-year plan to dominate the sector. We also tackle the escalating tensions with Iran, as Lindsey Graham proposes a "Second Amendment solution" to arm Iranian protesters. Finally, Zeoli has some fun at the expense of Stephen Colbert, who is now hilariously trying to blame his producers for the fact that his late-night show turned into a partisan lecture series. 00:00 - The California debate disaster and Pennsylvania implications03:10 - The Democrat Civil War: Porter vs. Shapiro05:30 - Trump’s massive primary night in Indiana07:15 - GOP courting John Fetterman to switch parties10:45 - What does it mean to "act like a Democrat" today?12:50 - New Jersey’s radical redistricting plan to eliminate Republicans18:20 - Inside the well-funded "AI Doom" machine22:40 - China’s five-year plan to win the tech race26:30 - Merrick Garland and the Spirit Airlines collapse32:10 - Marco Rubio’s "Check yourself" message to Iran35:45 - Lindsey Graham’s plan to airdrop weapons to Iranians40:05 - Stephen Colbert blames his producer for his bad ratingsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
