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.
