Myles Morel is a Capitol Hill correspondent for The Gateway Pundit who's built a following filming candid, on-the-ground moments in DC — including a viral series of clips from outside Senator Mitch McConnell's home during his prolonged public absence. In this conversation, Myles walks through what he saw there, the theories swirling around McConnell's condition, and the behavior that convinced him something bigger is being kept quiet.

From there, the conversation moves into how Myles got into video journalism (starting with campaign work during the 2024 cycle), how living and reporting in the DC area has softened some of his earlier hardline views, and why he believes independent, social-first media is the future of the industry. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from Capitol Hill, including surprising off-camera encounters with Rep. Tim Burchett and Rep. Nancy Mace, and reflects on the Epstein files, the push for transparency, and whether the public will ever see more.

Myles also gets candid about voting for Trump and where he feels let down, his read on the 2026 midterms and the anti-incumbent energy showing up in both parties, and his dream interview list — including Governor Ron DeSantis, Governor Glenn Youngkin, and Governor Andy Beshear. He closes out talking about his long-term goals, including a possible future run for office back home in Florida.

Guest: Leila, Founder & CEO, RLC Models and Talent Agency

In this episode, Zach sits down with Leila, the powerhouse behind RLC Models and Talent Agency, who has spent 23 years building one of LA's most versatile talent and modeling operations. Leila shares the story of landing her first major client, Budweiser, just months after opening her agency, and how that relationship (along with Tecate) led to years of work sponsoring major sporting events in boxing, football, and basketball.

She talks candidly about working alongside major names like Drake, Enrique Iglesias, Bad Bunny, Snoop Dogg, and Jamie Foxx, and reflects on one of her proudest personal moments: meeting Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in 2025. Leila also opens up about what she looks for when scouting new talent, the personality traits that matter more than looks, and how her own 19-year career as a performer shaped the way she runs her agency.

The conversation covers the evolution of RLC's fashion show business (post-COVID reinvention that grew into 55+ shows), the launch of RLC Talent Magazine featuring cover stars like Eric Roberts, Corey Feldman, and Sofia Milos, and the 2025 debut of her docuseries RLC Backstage at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre. She also shares the heart behind her work — her Bambino foster kids initiative — and her vision for the next five years, including new ventures supporting working artists in an AI-disrupted entertainment industry.

Topics discussed:

• Building RLC Models and Talent Agency from the ground up
• Landing the Budweiser/Tecate partnership and major sports sponsorships
• What Leila looks for in new talent (hint: it's not just looks)
• Working behind the scenes with A-list celebrities
• Launching RLC Talent Magazine and choosing cover stars
• The RLC Modeling School in Calabasas
• Producing the docuseries RLC Backstage and its Chinese Theatre premiere
• The Bambino foster kids charitable initiative
• Leila's five-year vision for her business and giving back

In this week's "This Is Everything" segment, Zach gets personal about a question that's been on his mind: what does it actually mean to be a queer person living in a red state right now? Prompted by a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ news alerts and his own family's push to relocate, Zach walks through why he and his husband Andrew have ruled out moving closer to his brother, despite the appeal of buying a house outright and being near family.

He talks candidly about growing up in Miami, the segregation he's noticed living in Massachusetts, and how racism gets learned rather than born. He also digs into the wave of state-level bills stripping rights from transgender people — including driver's license revocations happening with zero warning — and why he believes the volume of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation right now is a distraction from bigger issues. Zach lands on why Massachusetts, for all its quirks, is home: legal protections, a lesbian governor, direct flights, and a community where being loud and proud on a night out doesn't come with a second thought.

It's a mix of the political and the deeply personal — family pressure, real estate math, small-town New Hampshire bike week, and what it means to choose safety over square footage.
