Episode Details

Rich Zeoli opens the show by torching the idea that today’s Democrat Party is “moderate,” using New Jersey’s special primary as the proof point. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backed a far left progressive who won a special election to fill a Congressional seat. Her platform: fight the oligarchy, fight ICE, fight Trump. Fighting Trump IS the point these days for Democrats. Not compromise. Not cooperation. Fighting and obstruction. That's how they think they'll win in 2028.

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

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

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

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

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

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