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.
