The Rich Zeoli Podcast: Daily Politics, Culture & Chaos

On Today's Show: 👉 Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign in Los Angeles focusing on safety for moms👉 The return of medieval diseases and "unhoused" drug use in California schoolyards👉 The collapse of Spirit Airlines following the Biden administration's antitrust interference👉 Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren’s role in blocking the JetBlue merger👉 Gavin Newsom’s defensive performance on Bill Maher and the California "train to nowhere"👉 Graham Plattner’s controversial Senate run in Maine and his past Nazi tattoos👉 The shift toward socialism and the disappearance of moderate DemocratsRich Zeoli opens the week by breaking down the bizarre contrast in modern campaigns, specifically focusing on Spencer Pratt’s surge in Los Angeles. While the media often ignores the daily realities of urban decay, Pratt is directly addressing moms who are tired of shielding their children’s eyes from drug use and public indecency in schoolyards. We analyze how this "gonzo" style of politics is effectively highlighting the elitism of current leaders like Karen Bass, who prioritize political correctness over basic public safety and the eradication of resurfacing medieval diseases.The conversation shifts to the economic fallout of the Biden administration's aggressive antitrust policies. Zeoli discusses the collapse of Spirit Airlines, a direct result of Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren "policing" the private sector into oblivion. By blocking the merger with JetBlue, the government didn't protect competition; it destroyed a low-cost option for families and eliminated thousands of jobs. We look at the math behind these failures and how the lack of basic capitalist understanding at the federal level is about to spike travel costs for everyone.Finally, we examine the disturbing trend of Democrats abandoning all moral standards to support radical socialist candidates. In Maine, Graham Plattner is the presumptive nominee to face Susan Collins, despite a history of Nazi tattoos and disparaging comments about women and minorities. Rich explains how the "Stop Trump" movement has become a shield for the far-left to install communists into power. From Gavin Newsom’s frantic, defensive energy on "Real Time with Bill Maher" to the erasure of mainstream moderates, we are witnessing the total takeover of the party by the socialist fringe.00:00 Spencer Pratt vs. Graham Plattner on two different coasts07:22 Addressing the "unhoused" and safety concerns for LA moms13:17 The return of typhoid and medieval diseases in encampments15:53 Gavin Newsom’s defensive record and the 2028 outlook17:01 Bill Maher confronts Newsom on gas prices and the $231B train22:15 Spirit Airlines collapse and the Buttigieg antitrust failure26:30 Congressman Burgess Owens challenges Mayor Pete on competition30:30 Job losses and the fallout of the blocked JetBlue merger35:20 Graham Plattner’s Nazi tattoo and socialist revolution in Maine40:30 New York Times columnist justifies voting for Plattner44:00 The death of the moderate Democrat and the rise of Hasan Piker's movement48:00 Analyzing Gavin Newsom’s frantic hand gestures and nervous energy53:40 Hollywood’s lack of original ideas and the "Devil Wears Prada 2" check

On Today’s Show:👉 SCOTUS ruling on Louisiana redistricting👉 James Comey seashell indictment👉 Dr. Fauci's minion and Covid origins👉 Jimmy Kimmel and the FCC👉 Hakeem Jeffries' "Maximum Warfare" rhetoric👉 King Charles and White House jokes👉 Ilhan Omar's "World War 11" gaffe👉 Special Forces soldier arrested for Polymarket betsRich Zeoli breaks down a massive victory for common sense at the Supreme Court today. We look at the 6-3 decision authored by Justice Samuel Alito which struck down a race-based congressional district in Louisiana. Zeoli explains how the court is finally moving past 1950s-era remedies for a country that has already elected a Black president and countless Black leaders. We analyze how this ruling will have a domino effect on redistricting battles across the nation as we head into the midterm elections.We also dive into the questionable indictment against former FBI Director James Comey over a social media post featuring seashells. While Rich makes it clear he has no love for deep state hacks like Comey, Brennan, or Clapper, we discuss why this specific prosecution over "8647" is legally shaky and likely to fail in court. Zeoli warns that weak cases only serve to turn tyrants into heroes for the left. We compare this to the airtight case against Fauci’s associates regarding the cover-up of Covid-19 origins and the evasion of FOIA requests.The show wraps up with a look at the bizarre rhetoric and security failures currently plaguing the political scene. From Hakeem Jeffries doubling down on "maximum warfare" language after a presidential assassination attempt to Ilhan Omar inventing "World War 11," we expose the incompetence on display. Rich also defends a Special Forces soldier facing sixty years for a Polymarket bet, arguing that betting on the success of your own military mission is more like Pete Rose than insider trading. We even take a moment to roast King Charles for making jokes about the British burning down the White House.00:00 SCOTUS rules against race-based districts in Louisiana04:40 The ripple effect on midterm election redistricting07:15 Why the James Comey seashell indictment is a mistake12:50 Deep state hacks and the abuse of civil liberties17:05 The airtight case against Fauci’s minion regarding Covid origins22:30 Jimmy Kimmel and why the FCC should leave him alone28:40 Hakeem Jeffries doubles down on maximum warfare rhetoric32:45 The fallout from the White House Correspondents Dinner shooter36:10 Special Forces soldier vs. Polymarket and insider trading charges40:35 Pete Rose analogies and the problem with prediction markets45:10 King Charles makes a "too soon" joke about 181449:15 Ilhan Omar and the horrors of World War 11

On Today’s Show:👉 The indictment of Anthony Fauci’s senior adviser David Morens👉 The "Prisoner" wine bribes and EcoHealth Alliance corruption👉 Why federal bureaucrats used Gmail to evade FOIA requests👉 Debunking the Trump assassination attempt conspiracy theories👉 Joy Reid and the media's reaction to the Washington Hilton shooting👉 Chuck Todd’s expectation for the President to act like Batman👉 The DOJ’s "Truth Social" style court filing for the ballroom👉 Chuck Schumer’s primary election recruitment failuresRich Zeoli breaks down the huge news of a former senior adviser to Doctor Anthony Fauci getting indicted by the Department of Justice. David Morens faces 51 years in prison for conspiracy and faking federal records related to the origins of COVID-19. We look at the shady messages where these bureaucrats used personal Gmail accounts to hide facts from the public. Zeoli explains the irony of Peter Daszak sending bottles of "The Prisoner" wine while they worked to bury the lab leak theory.The conversation shifts to the wild theories surrounding the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Rich mocks the idea that the event was a stunt just so the former president could get his ballroom project finished. We analyze claims from Joy Reid and anti-Maga influencers who claim the entire thing was a coordinated trick. Zeoli also calls out Chuck Todd for suggesting that a president should act like an Avenger and save members of the press from danger.We also discuss the Department of Justice’s newest court filing regarding the White House ballroom, which looks like it was written on Truth Social. Zeoli laughs at the "all caps" style of the brief and the way it slams the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a fake group. To finish up, Rich and the team look at Chuck Schumer’s struggles in Democratic primaries and the strange visit of King Charles to Washington D.C.00:00 The Indictment of Fauci Adviser David Morens01:12 Evasion of FOIA Records and Gmail Scandals03:25 Peter Daszak, Bribes, and "The Prisoner" Wine05:54 Michelin Stars and Pretentious Tire Companies07:51 Evading the New York Times and Public Records10:45 King Charles Visits Congress and Revolutionary War Grudges13:35 Furin Cleavage and Chimeric Coronavirus Strains15:58 Trump Assassination Conspiracy Theories and Dropped Calls19:25 Ashley Sinclair and the Anti-Maga Influence Machine22:45 Joy Reid and the Media’s Lack of Logic24:46 Chuck Todd Says He Doesn't Feel Safe Near Trump27:12 Chugging Wine at the Washington Hilton Aftermath29:10 The DOJ’s Remarkable Court Filing for the Ballroom33:34 Security Failures and the Presidential Line of Succession36:51 Schumer’s Primary Woes and the Progressive Surge

On Today’s Show:👉 The security breach at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents Dinner👉 The manifesto of shooter Allen and his "Federal Assassin" delusions👉 Analyzing the Secret Service failures and the need for a permanent White House ballroom👉 The impact of heated political rhetoric and comparing Donald Trump to historical dictators👉 Media bias and the reaction to the 60 Minutes interview with Norah O'Donnell👉 Karoline Leavitt's response to Jimmy Kimmel’s "widow" joke about Melania TrumpRich Zeoli opens the show grappling with the terrifying reality of how a shooter managed to check into the Washington Hilton the day before the White House Correspondents Association dinner. We discuss the shocking details of the gunman, Allen, who positioned himself right next to a prominent editor and evaded authorities by using a stairwell. While the inner perimeter held, the fact that a man with multiple weapons could roam a hotel filled with the entire executive branch is a massive failure that demands immediate answers.Rich breaks down the necessity of the "Ballroom" project, an effort to move these high-profile events to a secure, permanent facility at the White House. We look at the logistics of presidential campaigning and why staying inside a "bubble" is a disadvantage, yet perhaps a necessary evil in an age where lunatics feel justified by extreme rhetoric. Zeoli points out the irony of John Hinckley Jr. offering security advice, while emphasizing that the current security protocols are still making basic mistakes despite a multibillion-dollar budget.We also tackle the disgusting media coverage surrounding this third attempt on Trump's life. Zeoli slams Norah O'Donnell for her decision to read the shooter's vile manifesto directly to the President during a 60 Minutes interview, questioning the journalistic value of such a move. We examine the "Hitler" and "fascist" labels frequently used by Democrats and media figures, arguing that this specific language inspires unstable individuals to believe they are "saving humanity" by committing acts of violence.00:00 Security failure at the Washington Hilton01:30 A shooter in the room next door02:44 The perimeter worked but the hotel was vulnerable04:12 John Hinckley Jr. warns the Hilton is not secure06:21 Third major attempt on Trump’s life08:00 The danger of the "Hitler" and "Fascist" rhetoric11:51 Bill Melugin’s firsthand account of lax exterior security15:02 The Ballroom solution at the White House17:42 Why candidates cannot stop campaigning in public21:18 Debunking the "staged" conspiracy theories 25:06 Jimmy Kimmel’s "expectant widow" joke about Melania Trump30:30 Norah O'Donnell reads the manifesto to Trump on 60 Minutes35:48 Karoline Leavitt addresses the political temperature38:32 Secret Service budget vs. basic stairwell security43:10 Steve Schmidt’s drunken post-shooting rant48:42 Details from the "Federal Assassin" manifesto

On Today’s Show:👉 Progressive candidates winning in wealthy New Jersey suburbs👉 The death of competitive purple districts due to redistricting👉 Adam Hamway’s radical platform on Hasan Piker’s podcast👉 John Fetterman’s critique of the Democrat party's ties to Hasan Piker👉 ActBlue data showing millions of donations from "unemployed" donors👉 The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly bankrolling KKK informants👉 James Comer’s investigation into eleven missing or dead nuclear scientists👉 Scientific studies on cocaine-exposed salmon in Sweden 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. 00:00 Socialists barging into the New Jersey suburbs05:17 How redistricting turned moderate districts solid blue08:38 Adam Hamway’s "crazy" rapid-fire policy round with Hasan Piker21:28 John Fetterman blasts the Democrat party for elevating Hasan Piker24:34 Hasan Piker’s "pro-piracy" and "pro-stealing" comments on the New York Times podcast29:32 The reality of automation and food deserts caused by high minimum wages32:48 ActBlue’s 4.7 million unemployed donors and the straw donor loophole36:20 Cocaine salmon swimming longer distances in Swedish lakes41:08 - Dems don’t remember anyone wanting to defund ICE53:02 Aaron Rupar’s "forty-D chess" theory on Trump and the SPLC57:20 James Comer demands answers on 11 missing or dead scientistsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's pod: 👉 The SPLC Fraud Indictment👉 Paying Charlottesville Organizers👉 PragerU and Ideological Targeting👉 John Stossel on the SPLC Scam👉 Missing Propulsion Scientists👉 Directed Energy Weapon Claims👉 Virginia Redistricting and Abigail Spanberger👉 The Democrat Master Plan for the House👉 Florida Food Stamp Restrictions👉 Kamala Harris’s Shifting Accents👉 John Brennan and the Russia Hoax 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. 00:00 SPLC Indicted for Fraud and Laundering06:20 Paying the Charlottesville Organizers10:30 John Stossel’s Take on the SPLC Scam34:28 Virginia Redistricting and the 50-State Plan37:15 Florida Food Stamp Soda Bans48:03 John Brennan and the Deep State seem concerned53:00 Kamala Harris and the Fake Accent59:00 The 12 Missing Propulsion Scientists Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

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. 00:13 What people think the Southern Poverty Law Center is versus what Rich says it became 01:10 The SPLC hate map and how groups get labeled extremist 05:49 Why Rich says the SPLC keeps redefining hate to keep money flowing 07:10 Hate group numbers, anti-government groups, and how the map expanded 08:37 Christian groups, gender ideology, and culture-war labeling 15:29 Why Rich thinks conservative groups were monitored under Biden 17:48 Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, and the politics of fear 19:44 Why the federal investigation into the SPLC makes Rich happy 21:08 Iran deadline returns as Trump warns Tehran again 21:38 Cory Booker’s anti-lynching push and political theater 25:26 Trump on Iran, regime change, and why he says the U.S. holds leverage 30:14 Why Rich thinks more military action is still the likely bet 34:30 Dana Perino’s Purple State and what Rich liked about it 35:57 Cory Booker’s screaming speech and why Rich thinks it is phony 38:21 Chicago’s mayor, reparations, and the contrast in delivery 40:00 Violent street chaos in Chicago and what it says about city leadership 41:13 Mamdani’s city-run grocery stores and the promise of lower prices 43:02 Crime, police pursuits, and safety concerns closer to home 46:54 Voter ID, Fox News security, and the SAVE Act collapsing 48:18 Ayanna Pressley and AOC requiring ID for an event about movement politics 53:47 Spencer Pratt, California politics, and Chinese land buying concerns 55:39 China, India, Russia, and the energy fallout from the Strait of Hormuz crisis 58:25 Final thoughts on Iran, Putin, and the need to end the conflict soon  __________________________________________ Zeoli Show is Powered By: 🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

On Today’s Show: 👉 Virginia redistricting vote and voter confusion  👉 Gerrymandering debate and Obama appearing on both sides  👉 Abigail Spanberger and the push for a Democrat-heavy House map  👉 New Jersey special election and a progressive candidate joining “the squad”  👉 How district lines turn competitive seats into safe seats  👉 Why far-left candidates are winning primaries  👉 Mamdani and the anti-billionaire message  👉 Podcast industry shift toward video and listener backlash  👉 U.S. Navy using dolphins to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz  👉 Trump administration extending Iran deadline  👉 Psychedelic treatments for veterans and executive order impact  👉 Missing scientists tied to U.S. defense research  👉 DOJ scrutiny of the 2020 election and potential investigations 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. 00:00 Virginia redistricting vote explained and why voters are confused  00:35 The push to reshape Virginia’s congressional map  01:31 Tim Kaine and the debate over representation  02:23 Kamala Harris vote margins vs House seat distribution  03:20 Argument over election integrity and congressional control  04:15 How Democrats could gain multiple House seats  05:14 Obama appearing in competing redistricting ads  08:36 New Jersey special election and progressive victory  09:58 How district lines determine election outcomes  11:20 Why primaries favor more ideological candidates  13:44 Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and anti-billionaire messaging  22:55 Podcast industry shift toward video vs audio  27:12 U.S. Navy dolphins clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz  32:01 Iran deadline and escalating tensions  36:05 Trump executive order on psychedelic treatments for veterans  44:40 Missing scientists tied to U.S. defense research  49:59 DOJ scrutiny of election-related investigations  53:19 Will the public ever get answers on major investigations ____________________________ Zeoli Show is Powered By: 🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

The Deep State, Missing Scientists, and the End of the Iran War  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.

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. Saving the Family Farm: Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joins to discuss the impact of ending the death tax on family farms as well as the Working Families Tax Credit. We discuss the administration’s battle against "agricultural lawfare," protecting private property from eminent domain, and ensuring the American farmer is no longer buried under Washington bureaucracy.

On today’s show: 👉 Bernie Sanders becoming the power broker inside the Democrat Party 👉 Mamdani’s tax-the-rich push in New York 👉 Why socialism is gaining ground with younger voters 👉 The Cold War lessons many Americans no longer know 👉 A coming Reagan-Gorbachev film and why it matters now 👉 The fight over Animal Farm and George Orwell’s warning on power 👉 Red states blasting blue states for keeping taxes on tips and overtime 👉 Jimmy Kimmel, Eric Swalwell, and selective late-night outrage 👉 Rosie O’Donnell reacting to the Swalwell scandal 👉 Rich shares details on his heart condition and surgery 👉 President Trump’s latest comments on Iran and the blockade  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. 00:00 Bernie Sanders as the new power broker on the left 00:50 Democrats blocked Sanders in 2016 and 2020...

On today’s pod: 👉 Rich Zeoli breaks down what “supporting” the Iran conflict actually means 👉 Debate over regime change vs. economic pressure strategy 👉 Strait of Hormuz blockade and impact on Iran’s economy 👉 Iran’s “midget submarines” mocked and discussed 👉 White House signals optimism about potential Iran deal 👉 Zeoli questions long-term goals and warns against ground war 👉 Generational divide in how media consumers view the conflict 👉 Eric Swalwell fallout continues with more accusations surfacing 👉 Biden DOJ accused of targeting pro-life activists 👉 Allegations of coordination with abortion rights organizations 👉 Mark Houck case revisited as example of DOJ overreach 👉 Concerns over FISA renewal and civil liberties 👉 Warning about online identity laws and digital monitoring 👉 California’s proposed “Stop Nick Shirley Act” discussed 👉 Justin Trudeau hypocrisy over plastic bans mocked 👉 Joe Biden gaffe involving Barack Obama comparison 👉 Cultural commentary on media, politics, and generational influence 👉 Emotional tribute to listener Minnie in Texas  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. 00:00 Opening: Iran tensions and Swalwell fallout 00:28 Defining what it means to “support” the war 03:15 Different perspectives on regime change vs. limited goals 05:31 Economic pressure as the preferred strategy 07:24 White House signals optimism on potential deal 10:13 Iran’s submarine threat and online backlash 12:30 U.S. naval blockade explained 13:55 China’s role in Iran’s economy 16:18 Deterrence strategy and projecting strength 18:10 Economic leverage and Middle East dynamics 20:05 Market reaction and political implications 22:01 Generational divide in media consumption 23:52 Messaging challenges for younger audiences 25:46 Shift to DOJ and pro-life targeting allegations 29:02 Mark Houck case and federal overreach concerns 31:00 Jane’s Revenge and selective enforcement claims 34:41 Surveillance concerns and online identity tracking 37:20 Citizen journalism and Nick Shirley case 40:08 Proposed laws targeting independent journalists 43:54 FCC power expansion warning 46:20 Government weaponization debate 49:04 Calls to dismantle regulatory overreach 52:22 Cultural segment: protests and satire 53:35 Biden gaffe involving Obama comparison 54:30 Justin Trudeau hypocrisy discussion 57:44 White House update on Iran negotiations 59:04 Tribute to Minnie Cabello Gifford __________________________________________ Zeoli Show is Powered By: 🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

On today’s show: 👉 Rich Zeoli reacts to Eric Swalwell crashing out of Congress and California politics👉 Zeoli says Swalwell is only the first domino to fall👉 The show argues Democrats in California pushed Swalwell out👉 Rich revisits the Fang Fang scandal and media protection around Swalwell👉 Politico’s “whisper network” story gets picked apart👉 Nancy Pelosi denies knowing what Swalwell was doing👉 New scrutiny builds around Swalwell’s alleged nanny situation👉 Rich connects Swalwell to the larger Russiagate crowd👉 Tulsi Gabbard releases material tied to the Trump impeachment effort👉 Zeoli argues intelligence officials and Democrats worked together against Trump👉 Adam Schiff and Swalwell are named as major players in the old Russia narrative👉 Rich unloads on the renewed push to keep FISA powers in place👉 Jim Jordan’s change on FISA gets blasted👉 Josh Hawley’s old warning about improper searches comes back into focus👉 The show warns that spy powers always get turned on Americans👉 Zeoli mocks Swalwell’s duck-and-cat meltdown👉 Rich jokes about his heart surgery consult and Trump as a doctor👉 Cocaine hippos become the next fake movie sensation👉 Zeoli slams Zoran Mamdani’s grocery store vision👉 Boston’s new permit crackdown on delivery drivers gets called another shakedown 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.

On today’s pod:  👉 Strait of Hormuz blockade sends oil tankers rerouting to the U.S.👉 Rich Zeoli explains Trump’s warning to Iran over “fast ships”👉 JD Vance confirms no deal after long negotiations with Iran👉 Debate over possible U.S. military tools including EMP scenarios👉 Zeoli questions the true endgame with Iran and regime change possibilities👉 Rising gas prices and political risk heading into midterms👉 Democrat Party chaos across California, New York, and national stage👉 Bernie Sanders rallies with Zoran Mamdani and socialist momentum grows👉 Zeoli breaks down socialist promises and why they won’t be delivered👉 Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel Newsom under scrutiny👉 Eric Swalwell suspends governor campaign amid major allegations👉 CNN report details accusations against Swalwell👉 Fallout within Democrat leadership and calls for accountability👉 Campaign strategy shift toward nonstop social media saturation👉 Cultural commentary on “fat defiance” and media messaging👉 Viral clip of Chinese children asking if Americans eat people👉 Final thoughts on Iran strategy and economic pressure 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. 00:00 Strait of Hormuz blockade and oil tanker rerouting begins00:27 Rich Zeoli reacts from Fox News to breaking developments00:55 Trump warns Iran over “fast ships” and military response01:23 JD Vance says no deal after marathon negotiations02:18 Economic pressure on Iran and global oil implications04:11 Possible U.S. military tools and escalation concerns06:03 What is the endgame with Iran?07:30 Trump update and oil tanker rerouting impact08:27 Gas prices, inflation, and midterm political risks09:24 Democrat Party struggles and national political landscape11:15 Bernie Sanders rallies with Zoran Mamdani14:00 Rise of socialist messaging within Democrats17:04 Zeoli explains why socialist promises won’t be delivered19:58 Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel Newsom criticism21:57 Eric Swalwell suspends campaign amid allegations27:44 CNN report details accusations against Swalwell31:06 Political fallout and accountability questions43:28 Campaign strategy shifts to social media saturation49:13 Cultural commentary and viral social media clips54:10 Chinese children ask if Americans eat people57:16 Final thoughts on Iran and economic pressure strategy __________________________________________ Zeoli Show is Powered By: 🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

Crisis in the Strait & The Road to 2028 | The Rich Zeoli Podcast 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 Follow Rich Zeoli on X: @RichZeoli Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's pod: 👉 CNN’s Massive Blunder: Reporting Michael J. Fox’s Death👉 Middle East Update: Shaky Ceasefires and Crypto Ransoms👉 The Threat to Individual Agency in the Meta/Google Lawsuit👉 Why the "Protect the Children" Argument is a Trap for Liberty👉 Steven Crowder Canceled at UPenn: The Heckler’s Veto👉 Canadian Parliament's Impossible New Acronym👉 The Absurd Narrative That Lawns are Symbols of White Supremacy 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.Segment Timestamps 00:00 CNN’s Fake News Death Report on Michael J.

On today’s show: 👉 Hassan Piker and the Michigan Senate Race👉 Democrat Fringe Extremism👉 Article 1 and the Constitutional Authority to Declare War👉 Jennifer Sebel Newsom: Secret Republican Operative?👉 TSA Shoe Policy Sanity👉 Election Integrity and the Bergen County One-Vote Tie👉 Anthony Scaramucci for President 2028👉 Cocaine Sharks in the Bahamas 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. 00:00 - Michigan Democrats and the Hassan Piker Controversy02:54 - The Difference Between Interviews and Campaigning with Radicals07:36 - The Democrat Party’s "Crazy Problem" and General Election Strategy12:20 - John Fetterman and the Internal Democrat Divide over Israel16:53 - Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Iran Ceasefire Report21:06 - The Authority to Launch Nuclear Forces and Presidential Power24:55 - Why Congress Needs to Declare War and Provide Authorization29:38 - Lawrence O'Donnell’s Critique of Military Language34:13 - Zora Mamdami and the Flight of Wealth from New York City38:17 - Jennifer Sebel Newsom’s Bizarre Prison Interview Comments43:59 - Senator Tammy Duckworth and the TSA Shoe Policy48:27 - Kathy Griffin, Don Lemon, and Election Denialism52:01 - The Bergen County Election Tie and the $60,000 Recount57:02 - The Vital Importance of Cleaning Voter Rolls and Voter ID01:00:10 - Anthony Scaramucci Announces for 202801:01:08 - Sharks Testing Positive for Cocaine in the Bahamas __________________________________________Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

On today’s show: 👉 The 8 PM Deadline: Will Iran Cry Uncle?👉 Trump’s Overt Truth Social Warning👉 EMP vs. Nuclear Strike: The Strategic Reality👉 Jennifer Siebel Newsom: Undercover Republican Operative?👉 Why "Supergirl" is Pre-emptively Blaming Sexism for Failing👉 Chris Pratt, Gal Gadot, and the Myth of "Body Ownership" 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.00:00 The 8 PM Deadline: Minutes from Disaster?02:57 Analyzing Trump’s "Cease to Exist" Warning05:17 Coups, 25th Amendment Talk, and Nuclear Speculation07:41 The China Connection: Who is Funding Iran’s Lights?10:53 Lindsey Graham: "We're Gonna Blow Them Up"12:50 Phase One Recap: Soleimani and the Obama Deal15:23 The Science of an EMP: Beyond the Movies20:07 Chinese Balloons and Grid Vulnerabilities24:51 Wall Street Journal’s Target List Analysis29:13 Is Jennifer Newsom an Undercover Republican?34:39 The Leather Turtleneck and Visual Cues39:20 Why the Left is Losing Men to Andrew Tate46:34 The Death of Anonymity: Josh Gottheimer’s New Bill53:36 Supergirl vs. Sexism: Blaming the Audience for a Flop58:20 Chris Pratt, Gal Gadot, and the Superhero Double Standard __________________________________________Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

On the show: 👉 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. 00:00 Trump’s 8 PM Iran Deadline02:22 The Strategy of Unpredictability03:52 Threatening Jail for Media Leakers05:15 Fighting the Television and Annoying AI07:12 The Quest for Authenticity in a "Slop" World10:30 Chat GPT and Delusions of Grandeur14:15 Why the Algorithm Rewards Fighting17:40 Zuckerberg Admits Social Media is Broken20:12 The Silicon Valley Hologram Mayor23:45 Can AI Replace Overpaid CEOs and Politicians?27:10 Jennifer Sebel Newsom’s Fembot Lecture30:15 Gavin Newsom’s Massive Hospice Fraud Scandal34:05 The Truth Behind $6 California Gas Prices42:30 $50 Billion Lost in Medicaid Scams43:40 The $126 Billion Green Train Boondoggle46:50 James Carville’s Vulgar Trump Distraction53:38 George Stephanopoulos Claims Rigged Midterms Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

This week, the world feels like it’s shifting under our feet as long-simmering tensions finally boil over. 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.

On today's pod: 👉 Pam Bondi's sudden exit as AG and the rise of Todd Blanche👉 The truth about Artemis 2 and why we aren't actually landing on the moon👉 Chinese birth tourism and the "Manchurian Generation" national security threat👉 Massive COVID relief fraud uncovered in Newark and Los Angeles👉 James Carville’s wild prediction about a JD Vance pardon👉 Kristi Noem’s husband and the $25-a-minute "unusual kink" scandal 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. 00:00 Pam Bondi fired as Attorney General01:55 The Artemis 2 moon mission "Hoboken" comparison03:47 Why faking a moon landing is harder in 202606:08 The 14th Amendment and the birth tourism crisis10:12 Peter Schweitzer on the Manchurian Generation13:40 The Americans and the "Charm School" infiltration plot18:15 China’s economic leverage and U.S. debt21:21 Surrogacy schemes and 1.5 million secret citizens25:50 Jonathan Turley on "moronic" birthright policies30:30 Liberal encroachment and the sanctuary city pipeline34:00 James Carville’s unhinged resignation prediction38:45 California hospice fraud and the 97% survival rate44:14 Gavin Newsom’s "authentic" fake crying46:00 Democrat Senate hopefuls and the Ayatollah Khomeini controversy48:50 Newark’s $287 million missing COVID relief funds55:02 The Trump administration’s new 30% fraud bounty57:19 The Kristi Noem husband cross-dressing scandal Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

On the show: 👉 SCOTUS Conversion Therapy Ruling + Birthright Citizenship Preview👉 Lindsey Graham at Disney + The Rise of "Disney Adults"👉 Charlie Kirk Assassination Ballistics Update👉 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." 00:00 Supreme Court birthright citizenship debate begins tomorrow00:03 The 14th Amendment and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"00:06 SCOTUS 8-1 ruling strikes down Colorado conversion therapy ban01:09 Comparing gender transition "science" to state-mandated politics01:33 Children's First Amendment rights and school notification policies02:16 Justice Neil Gorsuch on viewpoint discrimination and free speech02:30 Ketanji Brown Jackson's lone dissent on medical regulations03:10 Historic intent of the 14th Amendment vs. modern birth tourism04:22 Potential impact of overturning 150 years of citizenship precedent04:59 Lindsey Graham spotted at Disney World with a bubble gun05:43 The strange subculture of competitive "Disney Adults"06:21 "No Kings" protesters and the red lipstick resistance movement07:14 New ballistics evidence in the Charlie Kirk assassination case07:36 Nancy Pelosi claims the 2026 election is being rigged08:11 The double standard of election conspiracy theories09:12 RFK Jr. takes on the American Heart Association and Big Food10:15 How the sugar industry paid Harvard scientists to blame fat11:02 The failure of the government food pyramid and obesity11:47 Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and the Daily Mail photos Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

In this episode👉 The "No Kings" protest in Philadelphia featuring confused bananas and Robert De Niro poorly reading scripts.👉 Cory Booker’s grandstanding at airports and the Democrat push to keep ICE away from polling places.👉 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. 00:00 The No-Kings crazies and the woman in the banana suit02:42 Protester struggles to explain how the Constitution is "eroding"04:59 Confronting the fact that nobody voted for Kamala Harris07:01 Robert De Niro needs cue cards for his "Orange Man Bad" speech08:52 Randy Weingarten screams for the kids' milk money12:11 The "Parental Bonding" of brainwashing children at protests16:46 Can Democrats survive if they nominate a straight white Christian man?19:07 Cory Booker admits the goal is keeping ICE away from polling places23:28 Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and Vegas-style casinos in the desert28:14 Lindsey Graham’s creepy solo vacation to Disney World33:58 The "Skiffity Doo-Dah" parody and the Disney war-room38:38 AOC spends $19,000 of campaign cash on ketamine therapy43:25 Shias vs. Sunnis: The battle over alcohol, gambling, and Westerners48:08 Johnny Joey Jones on why nation-building is a failure53:55 Andy Beshear’s "Normal People" plea to the Democrat party56:05 RFK Jr. warns against cell phone radiation near your head Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

Border Wars, Global Tensions, and the Missing UAP Experts 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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich Zeoli dives into the major cabinet meeting where the president announced a massive shift in the conflict with Iran. We look at the reports that the Iranian regime has been decisively defeated and is now desperate to negotiate after their military capabilities were obliterated. Zeoli breaks down the "gift" of oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz and why some in Congress, like Nancy Mace, are still sounding the alarm about any potential for American boots on the ground. 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.00:00 Iran's decisive defeat and the Strait of Hormuz tankers04:15 Nancy Mace and the warning against ground troops07:30 Presidential cabinet meeting updates on nuclear destruction10:45 Jason Crow’s claims about ICE and American citizens14:10 TSA terminal closures and airport travel mess17:35 The Sheridan Gorman murder and Chicago's policy failure21:50 Pritzker’s attempt to shift blame for sanctuary crimes25:15 Mikie Sherrill’s new New Jersey bills blocking ICE29:40 Potential standoffs between local police and federal agents34:00 Bruce Springsteen’s democracy tour and high ticket prices39:15 RFK Jr. and the battle against ultra-processed foods45:30 Supreme Court victory for parental rights and religious opt-outs51:10 John Fetterman’s condemnation of anti-American radicals in Philly Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

Rich Zeoli dives into the sudden news of the 82nd Airborne Division heading toward the Middle East despite official claims that Operation Epic Fury is winding down. We look at the conflicting signals coming from Washington, where Speaker Mike Johnson suggests the mission is nearly complete while Senator Lindsey Graham calls for Marines to seize Kharg Island. Zeoli breaks down the tactical risks of such an escalation, including the threat of Iranian naval mines and drones that continue to put global shipping at risk in the Strait of Hormuz. 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.

We are diving deep into the theater of the absurd today as Cory Booker takes his "Spartacus" act to Newark Airport. While travelers are actually praising the presence of ICE agents for shortening five-hour security lines and providing perimeter safety, Booker is standing at a podium calling it an "outrage." We look at the disconnect between grandstanding politicians and the actual American people who just want to get to their gates on time without being lectured. We even see the media trying to hunt for "brutality" only to find agents standing around being helpful, much to the chagrin of the "Ice Out Now" chanters. 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.

We are diving into a whirlwind of national security shifts and cultural absurdity today. 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. 00:00 Iran War Exit Ramps and Nuclear Negotiations01:44 The Secret Envoys: Kushner, Witkoff, and the New Supreme Leader03:26 Leveraging the Grid: The Threat of Total Energy Decimation06:17 TSA Sick-Outs and the Airport Security Crisis07:58 Tying Voter ID to Homeland Security Funding10:35 ICE at the Airport: Crowd Control or "Death" for Disney Travelers?15:48 Unmasked ICE Agents and the Battle Over "The Look"20:18 The Sudafed Test: Why Voter ID Is Not Jim Crow 2.021:53 Morning Joe and the Great Birth Certificate Mystery29:04 Lego-ganda: The New Frontier of International Propaganda37:25 AI Participation Trophies and the Cult of Self-Validation41:02 AOC’s $19,000 Campaign-Funded Ketamine Therapy45:02 Transgender Politics and the "Lesbians with Penises" Rant51:19 The Pit: HBO’s Fictional War on ICE Agents58:18 Shannon Bream: Finding Integrity in a Divided Culture Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

Democrats continue to prioritize illegal immigrants over American travelers as chaos erupts at our nation's airports. Zeoli highlights the growing frustration of citizens stuck in massive lines while the administration refuses to fund Homeland Security. We discuss how the Department of Homeland Security is being held hostage by Democrats who demand that ICE agents be banned from polling places. Rich points out the absurdity of making travel a living hell for citizens over the non-issue of illegal immigrants voting, which the left claims doesn't happen anyway. 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. 00:00 Airport chaos and Democrats holding Homeland Security funding hostage 01:45 ICE agents and the battle over polling place restrictions 04:20 Republican messaging failures regarding TSA and travel delays 05:22 Sean Duffy warns of air travel coming to a grid halt 10:58 TSA officer at Reagan National confronts unpaid status 16:13 Katie Britt on the lack of Democrat cooperation for ICE funding 17:35 John Fetterman calls out "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in his party 22:20 CNN poll shows 100% MAGA approval for Trump's handling of Iran 23:55 Tucker Carlson and the dark theories surrounding Butler and Iran 26:49 Tulsi Gabbard faces questioning on nuclear threats 36:45 Jennifer Newsom brings "Woke" back into the cultural conversation 41:40 Kathy Hochul admits high taxes are driving high-net-worth residents away 45:15 The Save America Act and acceptable proof of citizenship for voting 48:49 Jerry O'Connell discusses the political rage within his own family 51:40 Afro Man wins a massive First Amendment victory over police parody 55:49 A first grader's federal case over an "All Lives Matter" drawing 01:01:43 James Comey potentially leaks a "pop secret" while singing Beyonce   __________________________________________Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

We start with the internal battle shaking the foundation of the online MAGA figures following Joe Kent’s sudden departure. 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. 00:00 The Joe Kent resignation and the MAGA Rorschach test01:48 Debating the motivations behind the counterterrorism head's exit03:37 The urgent need for Iran intelligence transparency05:14 Karoline Leavitt responds to "foreign manipulation" claims07:03 Joe Kent’s past comments on the Iranian threat09:46 Where does Tulsi Gabbard stand in the DNI?13:40 The "Nazi" labels used to shut down war policy debates15:30 James Carville’s new prediction that Trump will resign21:54 Mikie Sherrill and the "Project 2029" prosecution threats25:42 Non-citizen voting glitches in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia27:37 Chuck Schumer’s "fiery" speech against the SAVE Act31:32 Joy Behar Confuses Trump with Pinky and the Brain33:28 Oscar ratings hit a new historic low38:58 Candace Cameron Bure’s Hollywood party warning42:36 The death of Paul Ehrlich and the Population Bomb myth50:37 Costco enters the fertility and egg-freezing business52:23 How tire pressure sensors are being used to spy on drivers55:11 Investigating hospice fraud and "Maybach" millionaires in California __________________________________________Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

Democrats are putting illegal immigrants over American travelers, and we are seeing the fallout at every airport in the country. 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. 00:00 TSA lines and the DHS funding standoff02:38 Partial government shutdown and ICE funding05:09 Big water and the airport security scam07:39 Chuck Schumer’s responsibility for airport delays11:25 High stress for air traffic controllers without pay14:19 Joe Kent’s resignation from NCTC over Iran war17:08 Rand Paul on the economic cost of bombing Iran22:21 White House response to Joe Kent’s allegations31:35 Intelligence reports on Mohamed Khamenei’s personal life37:23 Movie pitches: White House Cocaine Dogs and Beast One42:30 OpenAI’s plan for adult mode and erotic chats50:59 Radical Islamists vs. MAGA supporters debate54:45 Comparing women's rights in Iran and America01:00:53 Trump’s mystery phone call with a former President __________________________________________Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

The president says Iran is decimated, yet we are currently calling on the world to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. Rich Zeoli breaks down the immediate danger to global shipping routes and what this means for the price of gasoline and groceries as we approach the midterm elections. We discuss the reality of Iranian mines and drones in the water and whether the American people have the patience for a protracted conflict if energy prices continue to climb. 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. 00:00 - Securing the Strait of Hormuz and global oil risks02:40 - Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Iranian shipping threats05:14 - The impact of rising energy prices on midterm elections06:10 - The MAGA civil war: Mark Levin vs. Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson09:10 - Why economic pain at the pump outweighs podcast drama10:52 - Newt Gingrich on the three major challenges in Iran14:48 - Trump’s defense of "The Great One" and the MAGA coalition18:17 - The era of clicks: Personal attacks in modern media24:30 - The mysterious "impotent" Iranian Supreme Leader28:54 - Senator Ron Johnson defends the First Amendment against the FCC38:44 - John Fetterman slams Democrats over DHS funding and security42:17 - Cory Booker called out by Jake Tapper on the border shutdown45:35 - The new Oscar diversity and inclusion quotas explained53:18 - Jane Fonda’s Oscar pin and the Paramount merger drama56:40 - Bigfoot documentary reveals the 1967 footage was a hoax Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

In today's episode, we tackle a heavy news cycle dominated by national security threats and the shifting landscape of American energy and labor. 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.

Rich Zeoli opens the show by exposing the "shape-shifting chameleon" tactics of Gavin Newsom, who is currently attempting to blame Donald Trump for California's skyrocketing gas prices. We break down the hypocrisy of a Governor who shuts down refineries and imposes a 61-cent gas tax while claiming the Middle East is the sole driver of energy costs. Zeoli highlights the stark contrast with the Trump administration’s "energy dominance" agenda, specifically the massive new refinery project announced by Secretary Doug Burgum that aims to flood the market with American-produced fuel. 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.Chapter Markers 00:00 Newsom’s Hair Gel and High Gas Prices01:51 The Save Act and Protecting Women’s Sports02:43 Decimating Iran and the Khomeini Legacy04:27 Securing the Strait of Hormuz06:08 NASA’s Asteroid Defense vs. Team Asteroid08:44 California’s War on Energy and Refinery Closures12:23 Exxon Mobil Flees New Jersey for Texas14:20 The 2024 Mandate: Ending the War on Energy19:12 Racial Breakdown of Voter ID Polling22:18 Debunking the "MAGA Split" on Iran Strikes25:51 The Cardboard Cutout Supreme Leader34:42 Whoopi Goldberg’s Wildest Conspiracy Theory38:44 CNN’s Hero Narrative for NYC Bombers52:46 Democrat Favorability vs. The Iranian Regime56:25 Brooke Slusser and the Fight for Privacy Zeoli Show is Powered By:🦀 The Grand Hotel in Cape May: book direct with them for the best rates.

Rich Zeoli breaks down the latest White House briefing as we discuss whether gas prices are about to spike because of tensions in the Middle East and what the administration says it’s doing to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. 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. We also get into the growing debate inside the conservative movement about how involved the United States should be in the conflict with Iran. Zeoli reacts to comments from Senator Tom Cotton accusing critics of the war of flirting with anti-Semitism and explains why many Americans simply want to know what the exit strategy is. At the same time, Rich breaks down what the White House says about potential Iranian sleeper cells and why he believes Washington will always use moments like this to expand surveillance power if people aren’t paying attention. Later in the show we react to the wild political news cycle: Hakeem Jeffries drawing a red line about ICE enforcement near polling places, the bizarre CNN headline about the Pennsylvania teens accused of throwing bombs in New York City, and the backlash over Quentin Tarantino’s movies decades after they were made. Zeoli also dives into the culture fight in Hollywood, why cancel culture hasn’t gone anywhere, and what the market reaction to political movies tells us about where the country really stands. 00:00 – White House briefing recap and the gas price question02:38 – Caroline Levitt on the Strait of Hormuz and oil markets03:02 – Lindsey Graham sparks outrage with comments about sending troops05:46 – Trump administration strategy to keep oil flowing07:25 – Oil prices drop after tanker escort announcement10:47 – Washington Post report on GOP anxiety over gas prices13:22 – The debate inside the right over the Iran conflict14:32 – Tom Cotton criticizes Tucker Carlson and conservative influencers18:14 – Are Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S.?21:52 – Hakeem Jeffries’ demand about ICE at polling locations25:19 – CNN deletes controversial headline about bombing suspects29:02 – Police heroics during the New York City attack response33:52 – Mazie Hirono and the SAVE Act voter ID argument37:36 – Senate hearing flashback: the bizarre dwarf-tossing debate43:58 – Hollywood politics and the Quentin Tarantino backlash48:17 – Cancel culture and the problem with elite liberal activism52:00 – Hollywood reactions to Trump and political filmmaking54:49 – Pixar backs away from controversial storyline in kids movie58:39 – Matt Walsh raises questions about the Jeffrey Epstein case1:00:33 – Terror investigations and the risk of overreach after attacks1:02:23 – Final thoughts on gas prices and avoiding another Middle East war Zeoli Show is Powered By:🏠 Emmons Roofing and Siding, who deliver protection, peace of mind, and true craftsmanship.

ISIS-Inspired Bomb Plot in NYC & The Media’s Shocking Response | The Rich Zeoli Show A terrifying ISIS-inspired terror attempt just shook New York City. Suspects allegedly hurled “Mother of Satan”explosives near protesters outside the Mayor’s residence—yet the official response and media coverage have raised serious red flags. Rich Zeoli breaks down the timeline of the attack, the NYPD and FBI investigation, and the baffling decision by leadership to prioritize optics over public safety. In This Episode: The NYC Terror Plot: We dive into the details of the "Mother of Satan" (TATP) explosives and how close this came to a mass-casualty event. Media Spin & Political Fallout: Why did the Mayor focus on "anti-Muslim protests" during a terrorism press conference? Rich reacts to the headlines that missed the point. Carville’s Meltdown: James Carville goes on a profanity-laced rant against Donald Trump. Is this the peak of political desperation? Bill Maher vs. Adam Schiff: A rare moment of accountability as Maher corners Schiff on war powers and the hypocrisy of past military actions. Iran & The War Debate: We analyze the "Trump Strategy" vs. Lindsey Graham’s predictions. Does unpredictability create strength or instability? A Final Tribute: We honor the life and sacrifice of Pennsylvania State Police Corporal Timothy O’Connor Jr. Video Chapters: 00:00 – ISIS-inspired bomb attack near NYC mayor’s residence 01:50 – Mayor’s press conference: Why the focus on Islamophobia? 03:34 – NYPD confirms ISIS terrorism investigation 05:18 – Media Framing: How the headlines changed the story 07:07 – Suspect flashes ISIS salute after arrest 10:43 – What is the “Mother of Satan” TATP explosive? 13:18 – FBI raids in Bucks County connected to suspects 16:02 – James Carville’s profanity-filled Trump rant 21:23 – Why political hatred is clouding judgment 24:01 – The viral "Anti-Trump Scream" protest 29:45 – Trump’s Iran strategy and draft fears 37:32 – LNG production and U.S. energy stability 43:48 – Bill Maher confronts Adam Schiff on war powers 49:19 – Lindsey Graham predicts escalation with Iran 55:38 – Gen Z is... saving the American shopping mall? 58:23 – Tribute to Corporal Timothy O’Connor Jr.   #RichZeoli #NYC #TerrorismInvestigation #JamesCarville #BillMaher #PoliticalNews #NationalSecuritySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Marxist Doorstep & The Virginia Erasure 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.

As we predicted on this very show: Kristi Noem is OUT and Sen. Mullin is IN.  🚪 The DHS Shakeup: Noem to MullinIt 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 BombshellOver 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 & 2028The 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 & MarketsDavid 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. 00:00 - Noem pushed out at DHS; Mullin announcement starts rolling02:33 - Truth Social timing, confirmation talk, and Fetterman says "Yes"05:20 - The $220M ad issue: Why the hearing felt like a setup06:20 - Lewandowski chatter and the mounting pressure08:57 - Walz in the hot seat: Minnesota fraud & whistleblower claims12:28 - Zeoli’s post-TV self-critique: Studio discipline talk16:24 - Tom Emmer floats JAIL TIME if cover-up claims check out19:06 - Jim Jordan presses the numbers: Indictments & voting blocks22:38 - Jimmy Fallon’s roast lands hard—Walz looks lost25:25 - Trump’s GOP approval & the internal MAGA Iran argument30:00 - Texas Primary: Paxton vs. Cornyn—Can Trump settle it?31:47 - Talarico’s viral clips: Why Democrats are getting boxed in37:42 - Newsom’s Reagan blame-game: A gift to his opponents43:16 - Paramount/CNN shakeup: David Ellison’s "Trust" pitch50:47 - Tariffs & Whiskey: The politics of trade fights53:29 - Why DHS drama matters: Homan, Midterms, & Border nerves58:00 - DHS Message Reset: Results vs. Chaos Zeoli Show is Powered By:🏠 Emmons Roofing and Siding, who deliver protection, peace of mind, and true craftsmanship.

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 craftsmanship.

Rich Zeoli breaks down a massive day in news, starting with the explosive backlash over Marco Rubio’s latest remarks. 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.

Rich Zeoli reacts in real time to the shock news that the Ayatollah is dead and President Trump says this mission could run three to four weeks—maybe longer. We lay out what the White House claims the mission is meant to accomplish, and why the “how long” question is already splitting parts of the MAGA universe. But is all that overblown as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says this will not be Iraq 2.0.  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 longer00:59 - What happens after the Ayatollah’s death: succession, regional fallout, China01:56 - “I don’t get bored”: Trump’s timeline and posture03:54 - Fetterman on War Powers and what Democrats do next04:48 - Hegseth: “This is not Iraq” and the no-ground-force message06:49 - U.S. casualties and why the public’s patience is limited08:37 - Matt Walsh questions the mission; Karoline Leavitt responds point-by-point12:59 - Betrayal talk inside MAGA; impeachment chatter and media pile-on13:40 - Prince Reza Pahlavi on a transition and peace with Israel19:11 - Betting on Khomeini: Polymarket/Kalshi uproar and the push to ban it34:52 - China’s oil exposure and the Strait of Hormuz choke point43:47 - Lindsey Graham’s “who’s next” energy and regime domino talk46:36 - The hard reality of arming a revolt vs. U.S. ground forces47:33 - Tom Homan tells Bill Maher the real reason for open borders50:16 - Mikie Sherrill tees up taxes and blames Trump52:52 - McDonald’s CEO goes viral “tasting” a burger like a robot Zeoli Show is Powered By:🏠 Emmons Roofing and Siding, who deliver protection, peace of mind, and true craftsmanship.

We lay out why athletes shouldn’t be forced into political avatars, and why Zeoli thinks the backlash is really about punishing masculinity and patriotism—right down to Hasan Piker’s wild “Nazi” smear and the forced apology circuit. 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. 00:00 - Hockey gold backlash through a dad’s eyes00:58 “- Toxic masculinity” and why heroes get targeted02:15 - Hasan Piker’s “Nazi pawns” rant and the apology pressure06:06 - Women’s sports, fairness fights, and why it matters12:35 - Title IX tribunals, presumption of guilt, and politics on campus18:09 - Winners vs. losers and the culture war over success23:52 - Alysa Liu, China’s spying, and American pride26:50 - Eileen Gu controversy and why people feel betrayed29:48 - Let men be men, let women win too, and stop the pile-on33:32 - Zoran Mamdani calls it a “snowball fight” as cops get pelted42:43 - Bernie Sanders vs. Markwayne Mullin in a heated hearing moment46:21 - Dr. Oz, Medicare/Medicaid fraud, and California as the target48:19 - Young Kim presses Newsom on $1.3B and illegal-immigrant coverage52:06 - Frog costumes, protest theater, and a Captain America comparisonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich Zeoli comes to you live from the White House after President Trump’s State of the Union, and we get right into the contrast: a serious night on Capitol Hill… and a bizarre “State of the Swamp” counter-program that somehow features a harmonica-playing giraffe outfit and Robert De Niro. 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. 00:00 — Live from the White House after Trump’s State of the Union00:56 — Matt DeSantis joins Zeoli and the “State of the Swamp” counter-show01:53 — The giraffe-costume rant and the “abused spouse” line02:49 — “Fresh out of an ICE prison”: the clip that steals the night04:35 — “Pumpkin Spice Satan,” prizes, bingo, and the alternate-universe vibes05:34 — Students grade the SOTU… before it happens07:20 — Trump calls out insider trading; Pelosi reaction talk10:20 — Tom Homan on sanctuary cities and why jails matter12:06 — Politics vs public safety; Minnesota cooperation and New York outreach14:41 — Deportation numbers, priorities, and the border shift15:34 — Cartels, fentanyl, and what changes when the border tightens17:25 — Missing kids: locating 145,000 and why the search continues20:21 — Ambassador Kelly Loeffler: small businesses, optimism, tax policy23:38 — SBA modernization, loan records, and cutting headcount25:24 — Made in America, supply chains, and why it matters to buyers27:05 — Jimmy’s Seafood, patriot branding, and community businesses30:32 — Energy Secretary Chris Wright on AI data centers and grid realities33:53 — Blue-state power bills, investment flight, and cheap gas that doesn’t get used38:07 — Nuclear power, market distortions, and why reliability wins45:50 — Admiral Brian Christine: drug pricing, TrumpRx, new dietary guidelines50:26 — Gender dysphoria in minors report and child mental health focus53:48 — Kyle Diamantis on ultra-processed foods and chronic disease costs57:12 — SNAP waivers, stocking standards, and access to healthier food58:58 — Food dyes push and the glyphosate argumentSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rich Zeoli opens State of the Union Day by sizing up the theatrics Democrats have planned for President Trump’s address—and we start with the early preview: New Jersey Democrats rolling out a bill built around a not-so-subtle acronym, the F-ICE Act. We lay out what it’s meant to do, why it’s getting attention, and how Zeoli sees it fitting into the bigger political strategy of turning every fight into a headline. 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.

Rich Zeoli opens the show by tearing into Gavin Newsom’s stage moment that lands like the bigotry of low expectations—Newsom trying to “bond” with a mostly Black audience by bragging about a 960 SAT score and saying he can’t read a speech. 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. 00:00 Gavin Newsom’s “960 SAT” moment and the bigotry of low expectations01:51 Nicki Minaj’s take and why Zeoli calls it a racist disaster03:56 Newsom’s profane Hannity clapback and the “out-Trump Trump” act06:40 “My kids decide” if I run: the Newsom 2028 setup09:20 Kamala Harris question and Newsom’s evasive “fate” answer11:11 California cost-of-living, people leaving, and Newsom spin13:00 Super Bowl confusion, sports talk radio jokes, and USA pride15:17 Miracle-on-ice memories and why the hockey gold hit different17:05 Jack Hughes postgame: “Proud to be American”20:34 Media tries to turn hockey gold into politics23:10 Blizzard day, snow shoveling, nitro pills, and memory jokes24:59 Grand Hotel of Cape May live-show plans and spring getaway plug26:47 Bruce Springsteen “save America” tour, prices, and security hypocrisy32:54 Katie Porter chant clip and Democrats escalating the profanity wars35:28 Susan Rice warns companies: subpoenas, documents, and payback38:30 AOC on why snow won’t melt, plus the “city should move it” point45:45 AOC foreign policy defense: “it’s your fault” framing50:16 Zoran Mamdani property tax backlash in Queens52:19 Mamdani snow-shoveler hiring: ID required, “federal law” excuse56:02 Why the ID argument collapses when payroll is involvedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast special, Rich speaks with Dr. Victoria Coates. 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.

Rich Zeoli leads with the bombshell that has rocked the world: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, was arrested this morning at the Sandringham estate on suspicion of misconduct in public office. We examine newly released Epstein files suggesting he shared sensitive trade documents and investment briefs with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy—raising the chilling question: was Andrew a bridge for an intelligence asset? We revisit President Trump’s 2015 warnings, analyze the reaction from Piers Morgan, and discuss why King Charles’s statement that "the law must take its course" marks a permanent fracture in the monarchy. 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.   00:00 - Prince Andrew arrested: The Epstein probe goes nuclear. 01:59 - The "Intelligence Asset" theory: Why Epstein wanted trade secrets. 03:41 - Trump’s 2015 warning: Why the President saw this coming. 09:07 - Monarchy in Meltdown: Can the Crown survive a criminal trial? 18:12 - The Colbert Equal-Time Controversy: CBS, Talarico, and the FCC. 24:36 - The "Banned" Hoax: How censorship claims drive fundraising. 31:44 - Macron & Hillary: The global plan to "manage" your speech. 36:35 - The Education Fight: Governors blocking scholarship money. 41:58 - Mikie Sherrill vs. School Choice: The New Jersey showdown. 47:13 - Synthetic Hollywood: Will AI movies end the studio era? 56:34 - "Sex Extinction" & Clickbait: Roasting the latest panic. 59:17 - Tomorrow’s Tease: Dr. Victoria Coates on the Iran threat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why we should abolish the FCC + Hillary cheers free speech crackdown + How to fix Philly's slavery exhibit 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.

Obama cuts off the 2028 field at the knees, Pelosi refuses to go in on Gavin, PLUS Trump responds on Munich and there is a secret attack on the 2nd Amendment.  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. 00:00 — Newsom & AOC “vacation” fallout and the superdelegate machine01:01 — 2016 and 2020: how the party blocks Biden and Bernie01:56 — GOP primaries vs. Democratic control of the nomination03:38 — The Gavin Newsom “puff piece” problem vs. the California record05:20 — Obama criticizes homelessness policy and why it hits Newsom hardest08:03 — Obama’s power in the party and Pelosi’s Newsom praise (with a hedge)10:45 — Newsom’s third-term Trump warnings and the “merch clause” joke14:30 — 2028 field mystery: “true candidate not revealed”16:14 — Pelosi on the SAVE Act, voter ID, and election fears19:30 — Old Chuck Schumer clip resurfaces on ID and fraud20:21 — Trump slams Newsom and AOC’s Munich performance22:05 — AOC’s Taiwan answer and why Rich says it’s politically fatal29:03 — Hillary Clinton, Epstein, and the “set the precedent” theory31:42 — Bill Maher’s comments and the Epstein panic spreading outward33:40 — Gun database concerns and lawmakers pressing the ATF34:30 — Minnesota anti-ICE confrontation goes viral39:57 — Protest stunts in stores: ice, salt lines, and social media clout41:47 — Trader Joe’s “chicken funeral” and the mask surprise46:31 — Minnesota fraud hearing: Brandon Gill’s rapid-fire stats53:53 — Italian phrase of the day and the sign-offSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, Al Gore’s plan to ban algorithms and the AI Tom Cruise clip everyone is talking about 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.
