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.
