      <description>In the second hour, Rita Cosby champions a hardline approach to foreign and domestic policy, specifically advocating for aggressive military action against Iran and stricter criminal justice measures. The broadcast features interviews and commentary suggesting that Iran is stalling for time to influence the U.S. midterm elections, with Cosby and her guests arguing that the United States must "finish the military job" to prevent the regime from obtaining nuclear capabilities. Turning to domestic issues, Cosby highlights tragic stories of violence in Chicago to criticize "soft on crime" politicians and activist judges, whom she blames for endangering American citizens by prioritizing the rights of undocumented migrants and repeat offenders.

She bridges these domestic concerns with international tensions, specifically discussing President Trump’s pressure on Iran and the security implications of a potential presidential visit to China. The program further examines a significant legal victory for the GOP regarding redistricting in Virginia, contrasting the court's decision with the inflammatory rhetoric of radical influencers like Hasan Piker. </p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 05-05-26</title>
      <description>In this fiery episode of the Rita Cosby Show, Rita tackles the alarming rise of antisemitism and radical politics across the country. The discussion kicks off with troubling news out of Michigan, where lawmakers intentionally excluded Jewish holidays from new state legislation, alongside shocking rhetoric from a University of Michigan commencement speaker. Rita and her callers pull no punches dissecting the controversial behavior of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife, from clashing with Miss Israel in a Brooklyn cafe to ignoring violent protests outside the Park East Synagogue. We also celebrate Marco Rubio’s masterful performance in the White House press room, debate Donald Trump’s hardline military and economic strategies to squeeze Iran, and call out the glaring hypocrisy of wealthy Democrats sporting dollar bills on their faces at the Met Gala. Plus, a moving Support Our Heroes tribute to Air Force and Iwo Jima veteran Gordon Duhane.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 05-05-26</title>
      <description>Welcome to another explosive hour of The Rita Cosby Show! In this episode, Rita dives into the "lunacy left" dominating a chaotic California governor's debate, where Democratic candidates like Tom Steyer openly attack ICE while defending sanctuary policies. Meanwhile, in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy handily sweeps the GOP primary. On the international front, President Trump temporarily hits pause on the Iran blockade to entertain a potential peace deal brokered by Pakistan.

Back home in the Big Apple, Rita rips into NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for his shockingly tepid response to anti-Semitic mobs outside a historic Manhattan synagogue. If that wasn't enough, Mamdani's bizarrely targeted new "Pied-à-Terre" tax video has hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin calling the mayor "creepy and weird," prompting Griffin to double down on moving his billions to Miami instead of New York. Plus, stick around for an uplifting "Back the Blue" segment highlighting heroic Utah parole officers who braved carbon monoxide poisoning to save multiple lives.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 05-04-26</title>
      <description>In this action-packed hour of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita tackles the most outrageous headlines and vigorously defends American values. We kick off with an exclusive, hopeful health update on "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani directly from his close friend and former FDNY Commissioner, Tom Von Essen. Rita pulls no punches as she roasts current NYC Mayor Mamdani for his "word salad" response to Giuliani's hospitalization and his relentless anti-ICE policies. The outrage mounts as Rita breaks down the bizarre story of a federal judge apologizing to an accused would-be presidential assassin for putting him in a padded cell, followed by a fiery takedown of radical, anti-American speakers infiltrating college campuses. Capped off with passionate listener calls and a heartwarming tribute to a 104-year-old WWII veteran, this episode is your ultimate antidote to the madness of the modern left.

The episode also unpacks a horrifying unprovoked terror stabbing in London, a fiery Capitol Hill showdown where Secretary Pete Hegseth blasts a Democrat for calling a two-month Middle East conflict a "quagmire", and troubling claims about the Secret Service's drop in standards due to DEI policies and funding cuts.

      <description>In this fiery episode, Rita Cosby tackles the dangerous normalization of political violence and the media's blatant double standards.

Rita and her callers discuss the left's "maximum warfare" rhetoric, the hypocrisy of a monopolized media landscape, and the Democratic party's endless obsession with January 6th. Amidst the chaos, the episode wraps up on a lighter note, praising the elegant, coordinated outfits of Melania Trump and Queen Camilla during King Charles' visit.

      <description>In this episode of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita breaks down President Trump's "master squeeze play" to economically choke out Iran while refusing to give the hostile press a rigid timeline for the conflict. She also takes aim at left-wing YouTuber Hasan Piker and progressive politicians for their controversial attempts to justify the murder of United Healthcare's CEO by Luigi Mangione. Later in the hour, Rita contrasts a bloated $321 million Biden-era reflecting pool project with Trump's $1 million fix, discusses Citadel CEO Ken Griffin pulling out of a major New York project due to local political harassment, and honors Michigan police officers in a life-saving "Back the Blue" segment.

      <description>On this explosive episode of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita dives into President Trump's eleventh-hour decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran just as the deadline was fast approaching. As tensions rise over the ruthless regime's execution of 42,000 protesters, passionate callers flood the lines to debate America's next military move—ranging from sending in 50,000 Marines to covertly arming Iranian civilians. Beyond the Middle East, Rita exposes the controversial Virginia redistricting maneuvers that critics are slamming as "codified corruption", roasts Senator Cory Booker's bizarre and screaming "foot soldiers" rant, and takes time to honor the heroic lifelong service of a WWII Naval veteran.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 04-21-26</title>
      <description>Join Rita Cosby for a fiery hour of breaking news dissecting the biggest political and military power plays of the day. Tonight, we break down the controversial new Virginia redistricting referendum that essentially hands Democrats a massive 10-to-1 congressional seat advantage. We debate whether this new map, which zigzags like a puzzle piece, is a legitimate move for fairness or just a blatant partisan gerrymander.

Plus, President Trump has unexpectedly extended the Iran ceasefire indefinitely. We discuss whether this pause is a genuine diplomatic opening or a strategic military "head fake" designed to let the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and civilian leaders destroy each other from the inside. Rita also takes aim at Democrats like Senator Chris Murphy and Congressman Mike Quigley for their "anti-American" rhetoric and sarcastic tweets cheering on Iranian shadow fleets bypassing US blockades.

Finally, we celebrate renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz officially leaving the Democratic Party over its radical anti-Israel shift, and honor the heroic, life-saving actions of Mishawaka, Indiana police officers in tonight's "Back the Blue" segment.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 04-20-26</title>
      <description>Dive into an explosive hour of politics, foreign policy, and baffling mysteries as Rita Cosby unpacks the latest gamesmanship and bluster in the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations. We explore the chilling and unexplained deaths of 11 top-secret US scientists, focusing on anti-gravity researcher Amy Escridge, who warned friends she would never take her own life just weeks before she was found dead of a supposedly self-inflicted gunshot wound. We also hit the streets of Queens where anti-police, flag-waving "burn pit" takeovers are wreaking havoc under a political "revolving door of justice". Finally, we hear radical caller pitches ranging from a "vice tax" on alcohol, to reinstituting the military draft, and unleashing a 100,000-man "swarm technique" of retired cops to deport illegal immigrants. It's a fast-paced, unapologetic look at the forces trying to tear the nation down and the fight to take it back.

      <title>Norman Seabrook | 04-09-26</title>
      <description>Join Rita Cosby as she sits down with Norman Seabrook, former president of the Correction Officers Benevolent Association, to unpack a shocking judicial decision that landed a dedicated NYPD sergeant behind bars. Seabrook fiercely defends the officer—who previously took 50 illegal guns off the Bronx streets—arguing the fatal incident was a tragic accident in the line of duty, not an intentional act of malice. Tune in for a raw, hard-hitting conversation about out-of-touch judges who commute from safe neighborhoods, the lingering anti-police precedents of the de Blasio administration, and the urgent need to rebuild communication between law enforcement and the communities they protect.

Joined by former union president Norman Seabrook, Rita breaks down why the judge's "deterrent" ruling is a travesty of justice that punishes the police instead of criminals. Plus, the show covers the Democrats' panicked push to invoke the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump, Melania Trump's fiery shutdown of Jeffrey Epstein rumors, and a special tribute to a 102-year-old WWII veteran.

The episode also unpacks the status of the Strait of Hormuz, features JD Vance clearing the air on why Lebanon is excluded from the ceasefire, and covers Trump's tense Oval Office meeting with NATO's Secretary General, where he declared the alliance was "tested and failed". Plus, a heroic "Back the Blue" water rescue in Lake Michigan and fiery caller debates on the dismal state of modern journalism.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 04-07-26</title>
      <description>In this explosive hour of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita breaks down President Trump's dramatic, 11th-hour decision to agree to a two-week ceasefire with Iran just as military strikes were ordered. Rita dissects the terms—including the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz—and calls out the relentless backlash from Democrats who are never satisfied. Plus, you won't believe the tone-deaf audio of Gavin Newsom's wife comparing her childhood golf cart accident to the violent crimes of inmates at San Quentin. Callers weigh in on whether Trump is playing "3D chess" to lower gas prices before dropping the hammer, and we honor a 107-year-old World War II hero. Tune in for raw reactions, conservative insights, and the unapologetic truth.

      <itunes:summary>In this explosive hour of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita breaks down President Trump's dramatic, 11th-hour decision to agree to a two-week ceasefire with Iran just as military strikes were ordered. Rita dissects the terms—including the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz—and calls out the relentless backlash from Democrats who are never satisfied. Plus, you won't believe the tone-deaf audio of Gavin Newsom's wife comparing her childhood golf cart accident to the violent crimes of inmates at San Quentin. Callers weigh in on whether Trump is playing "3D chess" to lower gas prices before dropping the hammer, and we honor a 107-year-old World War II hero. Tune in for raw reactions, conservative insights, and the unapologetic truth.

      <title>Victoria Coates | 04-01-26</title>
      <description>Former Trump Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates breaks down President Trump's latest "just the facts" speech regarding the conflict with Iran. Pushing back against media narratives from The Economist and CNN, Coates explains why Iran is far from winning after suffering 13,000 strikes and losing its navy, missiles, and nuclear program. Tune in to hear why the U.S. is rejecting another "forever war" in favor of targeted threat mitigation without forced regime change, how the Iranian economy is melting down from the inside, and what to expect as the strict April 6th deadline approaches for Iranian zealots to either come to the negotiating table or face being bombed back "to the Stone Age".

      <description>Buckle up for a jam-packed episode of The Rita Cosby Show as Rita dives headfirst into President Trump's highly anticipated national address regarding the escalating situation with Iran. With the U.S. "negotiating with bombs" and eyeing Iran's financial lifeline at Kharg Island, Rita breaks down what it all means for American security.

Plus, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson sounds the alarm on the upcoming midterms, contrasting Republican "common sense" against a Democratic party he says is spiraling into "crazy". Rita also exposes the latest far-left lunacy—from a Michigan candidate who refused to celebrate the demise of an Iranian tyrant because it might make voters "sad," to "Squad" members demanding reparations for illegal migrants. Throw in Trump’s surprise Supreme Court visit regarding birthright citizenship and a touching tribute to our Vietnam veterans, and this is an episode you can't afford to miss!

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 03-26-26</title>
      <description>This broadcast of The Rita Cosby Show focuses on President Trump’s aggressive military and diplomatic strategy toward Iran, highlighting reports that 10,000 ground troops may be deployed to the region. Host Rita Cosby and guest General Keith Kellogg argue for a decisive "finish the job" approach, comparing the situation to historic conflicts to emphasize the need for total victory over the current regime. The program also addresses domestic issues, including a tragic murder in Chicago that the host links to sanctuary city policies and the refusal of local leaders to cooperate with ICE. Throughout the episode, Cosby praises the administration's "common sense" actions while criticizing the media and Democratic politicians for their perceived lack of patriotism and failed foreign policies. Listeners contribute to the dialogue, discussing the impact of government shutdowns on workers and expressing support for the president’s firm stance both at home and abroad.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show : Hour 2 | 03-18-26</title>
      <description>In this episode of the Rita Cosby Show, we dive straight into the explosive latest U.S. military operations, breaking down the massive strike on 7,800 targets in Iran and the sinking of 120 ships. We tackle the fierce political fallout, featuring hallway sprints and soundbites from Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tammy Duckworth who are heavily criticizing President Trump's military decisions. The show also unpacks a heated House vote that passed automatic deportation for undocumented immigrants who commit welfare fraud—despite 186 Democrats voting against the measure. Finally, we explore the lingering $85 billion disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal, the controversial abandonment of Bagram Air Force Base, and the complex double standards surrounding Middle Eastern conflicts.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show : Hour 1 | 03-16-26</title>
      <description>In this high-octane episode, Rita Cosby breaks down President Trump's aggressive military strikes on Iran's Kharg Island and pulls no punches calling out "wimp" European allies—like the UK and Germany—for refusing to help the US carry the load. Rita and her fiery callers rip into the baffling rise of pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah protests on American streets, highlighting the sheer irony of LGBTQ+ and women's groups defending the oppressive Iranian regime. The episode also skewers Joy Reid for outrageously equating the US to Iran, blasts NYC politicians for anti-police rhetoric while taxing citizens to death, and critiques Javier Bardem's political grandstanding at the Oscars. Plus, a heartwarming "Back the Blue" segment celebrates a heroic Massachusetts police officer who pulled a woman from the path of an oncoming train. Tune in for a no-nonsense defense of American exceptionalism and a hard look at the enemies at home and abroad.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show : Hour 2 | 03-05-26</title>
      <description>In this action-packed episode of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita dives deep into the ultimate cabinet shakeup: the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the sudden arrival of brawler Markwayne Mullin to take her place. Was Noem ousted over her disastrous Capitol Hill clash with Jamie Raskin regarding the tragic ICE encounters in Minnesota, or was it a $200 million unapproved horse-riding ad campaign that finally broke the camel's back? Rita's callers are fuming, calling the move a massive GOP surrender to the Democrats.

Meanwhile, Jim Jordan grills Governor Tim Walz over his "Sergeant Schultz" routine regarding a massive $200 million "Feeding Our Future" fraud. Plus, tensions boil over in the Middle East as US forces sink over 30 Iranian ships, and President Trump delivers a final "surrender or be obliterated" ultimatum to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Tune in for fiery debates, caller outrage, and breaking updates!

      <description>Former Israeli Ambassador to the US, Ido Aharoni, joins The Rita Cosby Show to break down the historic, unprecedented military and intelligence operation that decapitated Iran's top leadership—taking out the Ayatollah and 49 others during a morning breakfast meeting. Aharoni and Cosby dive into the chaos of Iran's flailing, irrational retaliation against European and Arab targets, the regime's impending internal power struggles, and why destroying Iran's radical ideology—rather than just relying on the flawed JCPOA nuclear deal—is the ultimate victory for the West. Tune in for an expert, insider analysis of the coordinated strikes that are permanently reshaping the Middle East.

      <description>Tune in to the Rita Cosby Show as we unpack the bizarre new political bromance between NYC Mayor Zoran Mamdani and President Trump over a secret 12,000-unit housing pitch worth an estimated $5 billion! Is Trump, the "Big Kahuna," just playing the "grasshopper" Mamdani like a fiddle to get leverage on sanctuary city policies? Plus, Rita unloads on the outrageous Washington Square Park "snowball fight" where NYPD officers were hospitalized after being pelted with rocks and ice by a mob. Instead of backing the blue, Mayor Mamdani shrugs it off as "kids at a snowball fight" and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg downgrades the 27-year-old attacker's charges to a mere slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor.

      <description>In this action-packed episode of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita tackles the glaring political hypocrisy of New York City requiring multiple IDs just to shovel snow, while the left continues to insist that voter ID is racist.

The episode also dives into Abigail Spanberger's upcoming Democratic State of the Union response, examining how the former CIA officer seemingly pivoted from moderate to radical leftist. Finally, Rita breaks down the terrifying cartel violence and Costco fires erupting in Mexico following the US-backed takedown of a major drug lord, Gavin Newsom's shocking pardon of a violent alien, and some incredibly wild caller theories regarding the mysterious disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 02-23-26</title>
      <description>Rita Cosby tackles the historic Northeast blizzard that battered the tri-state area with up to three feet of snow. The ice quickly melts as Rita celebrates the US Men's and Women's hockey teams taking home Olympic Gold, praising player Jack Hughes for his gritty, tooth-losing overtime performance and his unabashed love for America. The celebration gets a presidential upgrade when Donald Trump calls to congratulate the men's team and personally invites them to the State of the Union address. However, the political climate turns frosty as Rita vehemently slams Democrats, including Adam Schiff, for boycotting the State of the Union, calling their alternative outdoor event a pathetic and disrespectful display of "Trump Derangement Syndrome". Tune in for fiery caller debates covering political decorum, emergency dental advice for Olympic heroes, and the lost art of respecting the presidency.

      <title> The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 02-20-26</title>
      <description>Rita Cosby examines a series of high-stakes political and criminal developments, primarily focusing on President Trump’s resilience following a Supreme Court defeat regarding trade tariffs. Cosby frames the President as a "Rocky" figure who, despite legal setbacks and partisan friction, remains committed to his economic agenda through alternative executive actions. The program shifts into a critical analysis of a high-profile kidnapping investigation in Arizona, where local law enforcement is accused of being inept and territorial by allegedly sidelining the FBI. Interacting with callers, Cosby further explores the necessity of military strength against Iran and decries the lack of patriotism and civility among modern politicians.

      <description>Tonight on the Rita Cosby Show, the investigation into the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping hits a frustration-filled "brick wall" as we enter week three with no suspects. Sheriff Chris Nanos reveals that DNA from a glove found nearby had no matches and insists this was a "targeted kidnapping," not a botched burglary. As the reward jumps to $200,000, listeners weigh in: is it the cartel, a "psycho" neighbor, or a rival jealous of Savannah Guthrie? Plus, a heroic "Back the Blue" rescue in Jacksonville and chaos in NYC politics.

      <description>Rita Cosby reports on a major development in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, noting that police have executed a search warrant and detained two individuals in a residential area just miles from the victim's home. The broadcast highlights the critical role of forensic evidence, specifically a glove found nearby that was rushed for DNA testing, while also discussing the collaboration—and occasional friction—between local authorities and the FBI. Beyond the criminal investigation, Cosby contextualizes the case within a broader political landscape, featuring President Trump’s involvement and criticizing local leaders for their stance on federal law enforcement.

      <description>Rita Cosby navigates a dual-track news cycle dominated by political instability and a high-profile kidnapping investigation. Cosby first critiques the impending partial government shutdown, characterizing the lack of Department of Homeland Security funding as "political theater" by Democrats that threatens the paychecks of essential federal employees. The narrative then shifts to breaking developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, featuring expert testimony on the deployment of tactical units and the discovery of "non-familial DNA" at the crime scene. Through interviews and caller contributions, the program explores theories ranging from organized Chilean crime "clicks" to anonymous Bitcoin ransom demands, illustrating a climate of intense public concern and forensic urgency

Joined by callers, the show breaks down the critical 41-minute timeline, the family’s desperate pleas, and theories ranging from local grifters to drug cartels. Plus, chaos ensues in Minneapolis with citizen-run checkpoints, and a heartwarming "Back the Blue" segment features officers saving cows from a burning barn.

      <description>Rita Cosby explores the intersection of media, activism, and political loyalty, primarily focusing on the federal charges brought against former CNN host Don Lemon.

The program contrasts this narrative of criminal activism with a glowing discussion regarding the premiere of a new documentary about Melania Trump, which Cosby presents as a celebration of the First Lady’s grace, intelligence, and influence.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 01-27-26</title>
      <description>Tonight, Rita Cosby exposes the "sheer lunacy" of Democrats attempting to block Homeland Security funding while chaos erupts in Minneapolis. As President Trump calls for an "honorable and honest investigation" into the Alex Pretti shooting, Rita dissects the suspicious details—from the suspect's alleged broken rib to his confrontations with ICE agents. We also dive into a listener’s bombshell theory connecting the Signal app to WWII-era propaganda and ask why Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are letting agitators run wild. Plus, a powerful conversation with Masha Pearl of The Blue Card to honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day and support survivors.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 01-27-26</title>
      <description>Rita Cosby digs into explosive new reports regarding the shooting of protester Alex Pretti. We reveal allegations that Pretti had a violent altercation with federal agents just one week prior—resulting in a broken rib—before returning to the scene with a loaded gun and two magazines. Was this a pattern of escalation? 

Plus, Governor Tim Waltz details his phone call with President Trump as Tom Homan hits the ground to restore order. We also cover the bizarre attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who was sprayed with an unknown substance at a town hall, and heat up the phone lines debating whether bringing a weapon to a protest is asking for trouble.

      <description>Tonight on the Rita Cosby Show, we dive into the chaos in Minneapolis as President Trump slams Gavin Newsom as "incompetent" and weighs in on the deadly ICE standoff. We debate whether bringing a loaded gun to a protest constitutes "soft terrorism" and analyze the tragic shooting of Alex Pretti alongside the Second Amendment consequences of interfering with federal agents. Plus, Brigadier General Blaine Holt joins to investigate the mysterious private jet crash in Maine—was it a de-icing failure, a runway lighting glitch, or something more sinister involving a high-profile law firm?

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 01-26-26</title>
      <description>Rita Cosby takes you inside the "tinderbox" of Minneapolis following the tragic and controversial shooting of armed protester Alex Pretti and Renee Good during an ICE operation. Rita dissects the inflammatory rhetoric from Governor Tim Walz—who compared federal agents to the Gestapo hunting Anne Frank—and debates whether bringing a loaded gun to a volatile protest is ever a "smart idea". Featuring a heated showdown with caller Robert over whether the deceased was a "Florence Nightingale" figure or a dangerous agitator, Rita also covers the incoming arrival of "Border Czar" Tom Homan and a miraculous off-duty rescue by a state trooper. It’s a raw look at law enforcement, sanctuary cities, and the thin line between rights and risks.

The broadcast opens with a detailed weather briefing on a "one, two, three punch" storm system, characterized by heavy snowfall and dangerous Arctic air that threatens to paralyze the Tri-State area and disrupt national travel for days. Shifting from the physical climate to the political one, Cosby critiques the rising hostility toward ICE agents, specifically addressing a controversial incident involving a five-year-old boy in Minneapolis to argue that political rhetoric is distorting the facts of law enforcement actions.

      <description>Rita Cosby discusses a breaking federal criminal investigation by the Department of Justice into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for alleged obstruction of justice. The central conflict involves accusations that these leaders used incendiary rhetoric to encourage citizens to interfere with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resulting in a surge of physical violence and harassment against federal agents. Through a series of interviews and listener call-ins, the program contrasts the current political rebellion in Minnesota with stricter law enforcement standards in Florida, framing the situation as a constitutional crisis where local officials are intentionally fueling civil unrest.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 01-14-26</title>
      <description>Rita Cosby breaks down the chaos in Minneapolis following a federal officer-involved shooting and a brutal ambush by suspects wielding snow shovels and broom handles. Rita slams Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for fueling "hateful rhetoric" against law enforcement and calling the federal presence an "occupation" rather than supporting officers under attack. The discussion also tackles the dangerous consequences of sanctuary city policies, the absurdity of comparing anti-ICE agitators to Iranian freedom fighters, and fears that the country is bordering on a domestic insurrection.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 01-05-26</title>
      <description>Guest host Dominic Carter delivers a high-octane hour tackling President Trump’s capture of Nicolas Maduro and the seismic shifts in American foreign policy. The program dives deep into the "socialist" transformation of New York City under its new mayor, examining a controversial push to redefine private property as a "collective good" and the resulting friction with the NYPD Commissioner. Beyond the headlines, the episode balances political fire with human stories, from a heroic Christmas Day rescue on a California highway to the comedic trials of a German Shepherd puppy terrorizing its doggy daycare.

      <description>Rita breaks down the "wild" and "defiant" inauguration of New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani. As a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Mandani’s first hours in office included sweeping executive orders that took direct swipes at his predecessor, Eric Adams, and a polarizing inaugural address featuring AOC and Bernie Sanders. Rita discusses why many believe this is "the beginning of the end of New York" as the city shifts toward radical policies like "tax the rich" and free public services while allegedly ignoring rising anti-Semitism.

      <description>Rita Cosby dives into President Trump's fearless approach, taking the fight to cartels and seizing a Venezuelan ship carrying black market, sanctioned oil destined for the IRGC. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explains the administration's dual focus on stopping illegal drugs and enforcing sanctions in the Western Hemisphere. Domestically, outrage sparks over the immediate release of proven gang member and human trafficker Abrago Kilmar Garcia by a liberal judge, an act the White House calls "judicial activism". Adding to the chaos, New York Mayor-elect Zoran Mandani doubles down, stating he is prepared to be arrested for resisting ICE and suggesting scenarios where NYPD might arrest federal ICE agents who "break the law". Critics debate if sanctuary city defiance constitutes sedition, warning that failure to enforce the law threatens America's very survival.

      <description>Rita dives into the newly launched Trump Gold Card, an idea designed to generate "big money for America". Learn about the high price tags ($1 million for individuals, $5 million for companies) and the intense vetting process required for participants, with all funds going directly to the U.S. government. Rita explores how this card aims to solve the problem of keeping top students from schools like Harvard, MIT, and Stern Business School in the US, allowing companies to retain them instead of having them "thrown out" after graduation. Finally, we contrast this strict vetting with the controversial anti-ICE stance of local figures like Zohran Mamdani, who is accused of fighting law enforcement's efforts.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 12-08-25</title>
      <description>Before even taking office, Mamdani released a video instructing illegal immigrants on how to actively defy and refuse cooperation with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Mamdani claims that ICE can lie, that they can remain silent, and that they are not required to open their doors without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Critics argue this radical stance is vilifying ICE, questioning their authority, and constitutes aiding and abetting or obstruction. Rita predicts a looming "showdown Royale" between Mamdani and President Trump, who may withhold federal funds if the mayor fails to cooperate with federal authorities. Rita Cosby scrutinizes Mamdani's highly controversial appointments, including placing an ex-con rapper convicted of two armed robberies on his criminal justice reform committee.

      <description>The January 6 pipe bomber is finally under arrest—but the questions are exploding! Hear the stunning details of how the Trump DOJ and FBI, relying on "good shoe leather" internal work, connected the dots using cell phone tracking, credit card receipts for bomb-making materials, and enhanced footage. Why did the prior administration allegedly "sit on evidence," ignoring a case that seemed straightforward, while simultaneously prosecuting grandmothers for buying Snickers bars near the Capitol? Rita also tackles the controversy surrounding CNN's Jake Tapper, who allegedly went out of his way to describe the suspect, Brian Cole Jr., as a "white man," despite photos suggesting otherwise, fueling accusations that the bomber's race didn't "fit the narrative".

      <description>The January 6th pipe bomb case has been solved with the arrest of suspect Brian Cole Jr. in Woodbridge, Virginia. But why did it take nearly five years? Rita Cosby analyzes the evidence—from specific sneakers to cell tower triangulation—that was available for years, prompting questions about a potential cover-up and whether the "Biden FBI chose to ignore it". Plus, the fierce political battle over the Venezuelan drug boat strike heats up. Hear the contrasting testimonies: Senator Tom Cotton calls the military action "righteous" against "narco terrorists," while Congressman Jim Himes describes the attack on shipwrecked sailors as "one of the most troubling things" he's seen. Rita exposes the Democrats' "bleeding heart apologist" stance for cartels and Joe Biden's 1989 demand to attack drug lords "where they live".

      <description>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is defiantly coming to New York City, asserting, "I'm not going to be pushed around by some New York City mayor". He will test Mayor-elect Zoran Mandani's pledge to comply with the International Criminal Court (ICC) and arrest him. Mandani, meanwhile, has stated in "no uncertain terms" that the NYPD will not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), condemning raids as "cruel and inhumane". Mandani's political alignment is scrutinized as he struggles to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and as his DSA supporters push for a takeover of low-level city government entities. Amid these tensions, outgoing Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order barring NYC from making business decisions that discriminate against Israel, attempting to make the city "Mandani proof". Plus, outrage over a Brooklyn principal who denied a Holocaust survivor, Sammy Stegman, permission to speak at a school.

Rita dives into the escalating conflict between President Trump and Zoran Mandani—a figure who called ICE raids "cruel and inhumane" and vowed to stop the NYPD from assisting federal immigration efforts. Mandani’s controversial views on defunding the police are explored. Rita discusses the staggering allegations of a massive federal fraud scandal in Minnesota, reportedly involving billions of dollars and warnings to Governor Tim Waltz, with claims that up to 50% of visas in the state might be fraudulent. Finally, Rita examines the shocking denial by a New York principal to allow a Holocaust survivor, Sammy Stegman, to speak to students, deeming his pro-Israel views "not appropriate."

      <description>TJ McCormack fills in for Rita Cosby on this Thanksgiving night, reflecting on the tragic death of 20-year-old National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom, ambushed in Washington D.C.. The alleged shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal—a former CIA-funded Afghan operative—was allowed entry to the country under the "Operation Allies Welcome" resettlement program. Listeners weigh in on the anti-American agenda, political "battle fatigue," and theories suggesting the attack was a deliberate, perhaps even paid-for, event.

      <description>TJ McCormack fills in for Rita Cosby on a somber Thanksgiving night 2025, delivering breaking news: 20-year-old National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom has died of her wounds after being ambushed in Washington D.C.. McCormack connects this awful tragedy—at the hands of an Afghan refugee brought over during the Biden administration’s exit from Afghanistan—to poor vetting. Plus, TJ dives into other news: the long-awaited dismissal of the Georgia election case against Trump, marking the end of all open criminal cases. The program also tackles volatile NYC politics, including the incoming mayor and the hopes that Councilwoman Menin will act as a "stop gap" against him.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 11-26-25</title>
      <description>This broadcast centers on the ambush and critical shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. by an alleged Afghan national. Rita Cosby connects the violence to the suspect's entry into the U.S. via the 2021 humanitarian parole program, arguing that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in a failure to properly vet incoming individuals. Host Rita Cosby and her callers express intense outrage, asserting that negative political rhetoric from the left has consistently vilified the military and law enforcement, thus contributing to an atmosphere where these attacks occur. The segment features a clip from President Trump, who calls the incident an act of evil and terror, supporting the FBI’s confirmation that the assault on the federal officers is being treated as a matter of national security. Authorities are currently investigating the shooter’s background and whether he was radicalized or supported by a larger network, especially as reports indicate he is not cooperating with police.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 11-25-25</title>
      <description>The show focuses primarily on the controversy surrounding a video produced by six Democrat members of Congress—referred to by commentators as the "Sedicious Six"—who urged active duty military personnel to refuse what they called "illegal orders." Rita Cosby and callers vehemently condemn the video, arguing that it is a seditious attempt to break the chain of command and sow distrust within the ranks, especially since the members could not specify any actual unlawful orders. Critics assert that this action violates the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and suggest that retired military officers involved, like Senator Mark Kelly, should face potential consequences such as a court-martial. The source indicates that the FBI has opened an official inquiry into the six Democrats, while Republican members of Congress released a counter-video emphasizing the importance of obeying lawful orders. Ultimately, commentators view the Democrats' video as an act motivated by political hatred for the president rather than genuine concern for military law.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 11-25-25</title>
      <description>This radio broadcast offers commentary on the failures of progressive governance, primarily focusing on issues of crime and border security in major U.S. cities. Rita Cosby criticizes leaders in "blue cities," such as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, for their anti-incarceration stances following a horrific attack on a young woman, arguing that such policies lead to increased public danger. Extensive criticism is directed at New York City Mayor-elect Zoran Mandani, detailing his controversial transition team appointments and his refusal to credit former President Trump for achieving heightened border security. This show also reinforces Donald Trump's political strength by citing analysts who demonstrate his historically high and stable approval ratings within the Republican party. Additionally, the show highlights a "Back the Blue" segment honoring police officers who rescued a man during a dangerous apartment explosion in Atlanta.

      <description>Rita Cosby leads a discussion on Zoran Mandani, analyzing his perceived communist leanings, his prior comments about "seizing the means of production," and the contradictory nature of his actions—specifically, his eagerness to meet with Donald Trump despite publicly calling him a fascist. The program also touches on voter integrity concerns, with the host and callers criticizing Eric Swalwell's proposal for voting by phone and discussing the need for Congress to codify Trump's executive orders. Finally, the show addresses the dismissal of cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, prompting a vigorous debate about the perceived politicization of the Department of Justice and the concept of an independent judiciary.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 |  11-21-25</title>
      <description>Political bombshells explode as Marjorie Taylor Green announces her resignation (effective January 5th, 2026), following a bitter public falling out with President Trump, whom she claims tried to "destroy" her. Then, it's the meeting everyone wondered about: President Trump and Democratic Socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani meet in the Oval Office. Though Trump previously called him "my little communist mayor," the meeting was described as "productive," focusing on New York affordability, housing, and lower prices. Rita and callers analyze the dynamic: Did the man who once vowed to be Trump’s "worst nightmare" act like a "pussycat" in the White House?. Rita dissect Mamdani’s controversial dance around questions regarding Israel, genocide, and human rights violations. Is Trump playing 4D chess, or did he legitimize a "diehard democratic socialist" with dangerous beliefs?. Plus, a heroic "Back the Blue" segment honors officers saving a man from a fully engulfed vehicle in Texas.

Plus, the House debates condemning socialism during the visit. Will Trump "put him in his place" and will Mandani be forced to eat humble pie?.

      <description>President Trump has signed the bill releasing the explosive Jeffrey Epstein documents, kicking off a 30-day process for the Department of Justice to weed out classified material and launching new investigations. Meanwhile, the program erupts in debate over six Democrats who released a viral video urging U.S. military members to independently "refuse what they say are illegal orders" from the Commander-in-Chief. Critics slam the move as "appalling," "outrageous," and bordering on insurrection and treason. Plus, details emerge regarding Delegate Stacy Plaskett's shocking text correspondence with convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein, even as attempts to censure her fail. Also discussed: the bizarre "Mamdani effect" driving up real estate prices outside New York City as people flee, and the news of a Democrat Congresswoman being charged with stealing $5 million in FEMA funds. Tune in for discussion on loyalty, law, and accountability!

      <description>Political Firestorm on Both Coasts! The Rita Cosby Show investigates the crippling $15 billion shutdown, which impacted 5.2 million airline passengers and cost 42 million people their SNAP benefits. Hear House Democrats declaring the shutdown was only "round one". Explore the alarming rise of self-professed socialists and the extreme left, spearheaded by figures like New York's Zohran Mamdani, who is seeking advice from blue state governors to make NYC "Trump proof". We detail Mamdani's controversial anti-policing and anti-Israel views, his lack of experience, and the debate over the fate of Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch under his agenda. Plus, Senator John Fetterman reveals that despite attacks from both sides, the "most poisonous, the bitterest" vitriol comes from the far left. He describes shocking online harassment, including wishes for his death or cheering for his next stroke. Finally, we analyze Fetterman's surprisingly "class act" defense of free speech in the face of political violence.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 11-13-25</title>
      <description>The Rita Cosby Show investigates breaking political turbulence across New York. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly not seeking re-election in 2028 amid intense pressure from progressives. Is this the opening for AOC, who may harbor bigger Senate ambitions? Meanwhile, newly elected Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani faces widespread criticism for his "wacky policies"—from demanding government-run grocery stores to declaring that the NYPD’s "boot" is laced by the IDF, a comment labeled "classic anti-semitic crap". The central question: Should highly respected NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish stay on, thereby giving the "viscerally anti-police" Mamdani a "rubber stamp of approval" he doesn't deserve? Plus, hear the explosive plot to invite Benjamin Netanyahu to Mamdani’s inauguration! Find out who is trying to be the essential "check" against the man critics call a "destructionist".

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 11-11-25</title>
      <description>Rita Cosby delivers insight on the biggest political conflicts and current events. This episode dissects the chaotic end of the government shutdown, which caused tens of millions of dollars of chaos daily, and the resulting "Democratic civil war," fueled by those who are furious that eight Senate Democrats voted to open the government. Rita honor our veterans on Veterans Day, celebrating the enormous support President Trump has always shown for the military, including personally saving the 1995 New York City Veterans Day parade with a half-million-dollar fundraise. The conversation turns to the necessity of law and order, examining the lawlessness in major cities and the dangerous political ambitions of Zohran Mamdani, who is unapologetically anti-Israel and aligned with radical extremists. Finally, Rita explore the disrespectful political attacks on highly qualified individuals, such as Hakeem Jeffries’ tirade against Dr. Oz, and debate whether mandatory boot camp or military service is the solution for shaping up today’s youth and teaching them the importance of sacrifice and country.

      <description>Rita talks honors Veterans Day and Polish Independence Day, reflecting on the profound sacrifices of the US military. The program dives into breaking political news: President Trump’s White House Press Secretary claims California Governor Gavin Newsom is under investigation for a criminal scheme involving the registration of illegal immigrants to vote. Highlighting voter integrity concerns, the show then focuses heavily on the controversy surrounding New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, whom Bernie Sanders has championed as the model for the new Democratic party.

Then, Rita dissects the "disastrous" election night results, focusing intensely on the shocking victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. Hear President Trump blast the new mayor as a "communist" and predict a forthcoming disaster and mass exodus from the "capital of capitalism". From Mamdani's fiery, "vitriolic" victory speech—deemed a case of "Trump Derangement Syndrome"—to fears of up to 4,000 NYPD officers leaving, Rita breaks down what this radical, "my way or the highway" administration means for the future of New York and America.

      <description>Rita explores the "catastrophic" election of Zohran Mamdani, the new New York City mayor-elect. The 34-year-old, self-professed Democratic socialist won the race after the anti-Mamdami vote was split between Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Rita analyzes Mamdani's "vitriol" and direct challenge to President Trump, who warned the mayor-elect that the federal government "always trumps local" regarding funding. The episode details the serious concerns surrounding Mamdani's ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who are openly telegraphing demands to defund police, regulate land sales. There are also shocking reports of New Yorkers attempting to flee the city.

      <description>Rita is joined by Owner Operator of Red Apple Media John Catsimatidis, Governor of Oklahoma Kevin Stitt, GOP Chairman Ed Cox, Judge Richard Weinberg, former Governor of NY David Paterson, former Chief of Staff to Rudy Giuliani, Tony Carbonetti and former NYPD Detective Mike Sapraicone. It was a stunning night in New York City and across America. Host Rita Cosby and an expert panel deliver urgent, raw analysis on chaotic election results, including key Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey. The central focus: the shocking win of Zohran Mamdani, described as an "extreme radical Islamist extreme socialist," as the next Mayor of New York City. Panelists express shock and fear that this victory signals the darkest times for America's biggest city. Dive deep into concerns over a coming fiscal crisis (due to the $116 billion budget controlled by the mayor), the potential destruction of public safety, Mamdani's anti-business policies, and the accelerating exodus of companies from the "capital of capitalism". This is an emergency broadcast about the radical left taking over and the devastating costs to the Big Apple. Pray for New York.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 11-04-25</title>
      <description>It's an "enormous night" of breaking news as election results pour in across the country, but the panel is focused on the "frightening and catastrophic" victory of Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani in New York City. Characterized as a "socialist," a "radical extremist," Mamdani’s win signals a "troubling trend across this country". Join Rita Cosby, New York GOP Chair Ed Cox, former Rudy Giuliani, Chief of Staff Tony Carbonetti, and former NYPD detective Mike Sapraicone as they detail the nightmare ahead for the biggest city in the U.S.. Discussions center on Mandani’s "very extreme policies," including his plans to "Defund the police," eliminate the gifted education program, and end critical cooperation with the Joint Terrorist Task Force. The panel warns that Mamdani, who is already blaming Donald Trump for unrelated events, will be an "in-your-face mayor" defined by "theatrics" and a war with the federal government. This victory for the "radical left," now led by Mamdani and AOC, proves the Democratic Party is "completely out of step with what America's about". Pray for New York.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 11-03-25</title>
      <description>On the eve of one of America's most pivotal elections, Rita Cosby details the urgent strategy to stop Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is described as a "rabid extremist" with anti-police and anti-Semitic views. With polls tightening—Cuomo is within four points of Mamdani—the high stakes are clear: Mamdani's win would be an "enormous disaster" and potentially "irreversible". Listen as the show reveals why Donald Trump and Elon Musk are demanding listeners vote for Andrew Cuomo—even urging Republicans to "hold your nose" and vote Democrat to ensure Mamdani does not reach Gracie Mansion. Featuring insights from Tony Carbonetti, former chief of staff for Rudy Giuliani, learn why voting for third-place candidate Curtis Sliwa is considered a wasted vote and why this election is a referendum against anti-capitalist and anti-American values. The city that is the capital of the capitalist society must say NO to socialism.

      <description>Election Day is just five days away, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The New Jersey Governor race is a "neck and neck" dead heat between Democrat Mikey Cheryl (49%) and Republican  Jack Ciattarelli(48%). But the real fire alarm is ringing in New York City, where mayoral candidate Zorhan Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, is being labeled a "terrorist sympathizer" and a "true threat to democracy". House Speaker Mike Johnson warns Mamdani's potential victory signals a "Marxist victory for America" and could lead to NYC being "destroyed from within" due to far-left policies like defunding the police and abolishing prisons. Rita and her listeners discuss the urgent need for strategic voting to block this "extremely dangerous individual", especially since the opposition vote is currently split between Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Plus, hear Senator Chuck Schumer "hem and haw" to avoid endorsing Mamdani.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 10-29-25</title>
      <description>Rita confronts the political chaos engulfing America, starting with the existential threat to New York City. Dive into the high-stakes mayor's race dominated by Zohran Mamdani, an ultra-extreme Democratic Socialist/Islamist whose policies—like believing in "no punishment for criminals" and "no NYPD"—are seen as dangerous to America. Andrew Cuomo is presented as the only viable choice left to block Mamdani. Also, hear the stunning, newly revealed details from the House Oversight Committee regarding the Biden presidency. Staffers, including a chief spokesperson who publicly claimed President Biden was "sharp as a tack" and experienced him daily, admitted under oath that they only saw the President twice in two years! Plus, investigate the massive cover-up surrounding the autopen use for thousands of presidential pardons and executive orders, which some argue should be declared null and void. We also check in on the tight New Jersey and Virginia races and discuss who truly owns the current government shutdown.

Dive into the high-stakes mayor's race dominated by Zohran Mamdani, an ultra-extreme Democratic Socialist/Islamist whose policies—like believing in "no punishment for criminals" and "no NYPD"—are seen as dangerous to America. Andrew Cuomo is presented as the only viable choice left to block Mamdani. Also, hear the stunning, newly revealed details from the House Oversight Committee regarding the Biden presidency. Staffers, including a chief spokesperson who publicly claimed President Biden was "sharp as a tack" and experienced him daily, admitted under oath that they only saw the President twice in two years! Plus, investigate the massive cover-up surrounding the autopen use for thousands of presidential pardons and executive orders, which some argue should be declared null and void. We also check in on the tight New Jersey and Virginia races and discuss who truly owns the current government shutdown.

      <description>Rita investigates the shocking controversies surrounding NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. Discover the breaking report detailing how Mamdani’s father claimed moral equivalence between the US and al-Qaeda and compared the Afghan War to 9/11. Critics accuse Mamdani of being a "terrorist sympathizer" and using the "Islamophobia card" to deflect scrutiny, possibly even practicing taqiyya (permissible lying to infidels). The discussion also covers Mamdani's alleged political evasiveness (including sweating profusely during a debate), his anti-police agenda, and new reports of a DOJ investigation into his campaign's foreign funding. With the election days away, is New York City facing a "five alarm fire"?

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 10-28-25</title>
      <description>The New York City mayoral race is down to the wire, with Democratic socialist frontrunner Zohran Mamdani facing intense scrutiny. Mamdani has been hit with two criminal referrals regarding allegations of accepting thousands of dollars in illegal contributions from foreign donors. Though warned for months, the Mamdani campaign allegedly failed to stop receiving foreign funds. Mamdani, who is labeled anti-Jewish and anti-police, has repeatedly advocated to "defund the police," using phrases like "defund and dismantle" and "defund the Haram police". Audio surfaced showing Mamdani, a proud keynote speaker at the Democratic Socialist Convention, making "vile comments" claiming the "boot of the NYPD is on your neck" and it has been "laced by the IDF".Critics, including former NYPD commissioners and political figures, are calling the election an "existential threat" and a "crisis". Many are urging voters to abandon other candidates and unite behind Andrew Cuomo, the only one deemed capable of defeating the "terrorist sympathizer". The stakes are high: if Mamdani wins, it could open the floodgates for similar dangerous agendas across America.

Democratic socialist ZoHran Mamdani remains the leading candidate, but his gap over Andrew Cuomo is narrowing. Rita reveals the outrage surrounding Mamdani's comments on 9/11, where he focused on alleged Islamophobia and a disputed story about his relative, instead of honoring the thousands of victims. Critics, including Carl Rove, slam the speech as "seven minutes of bile". Plus, Rita dissects Mamdani's platform, covering his plans to "defund the police" through freezing new hires and sending social workers instead of NYPD cops, despite his "word games". The stakes "could not be higher," and the consequences for the NYPD and New York City could be a "disaster".

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 10-22-25</title>
      <description>The New York City mayoral debate just wrapped, and the stakes couldn't be higher in a race the whole country is watching. Join Rita Cosby as she and her callers break down the final debate before election day, focusing on the current frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani. We analyze Mamdani's controversial proposal to send social workers instead of police officers to mental distress calls, a policy described by the host as "dangerous and often deadly". Discover the serious concerns that Mamdani, who was called an "unaccomplished" former rapper and Queens councilman, will allow protesters to "destroy New York". Listen to the heated exchanges, including Andrew Cuomo going after Mandani, and Curtis Sliwa comparing Mamdani’s resume to a cocktail napkin. With the anti-Mamdani vote currently split and Mamdani "handily ahead" in the polls, the question remains: Can the race dynamics change in time to prevent Mamdani, who critics fear is anti-Semitic and a socialist, from leading the city? The future of New York is on the line.

We analyze Mamdani's controversial proposal to send social workers instead of police officers to mental distress calls, a policy described by the host as "dangerous and often deadly". Discover the serious concerns that Mamdani, who was called an "unaccomplished" former rapper and Queens councilman, will allow protesters to "destroy New York". Listen to the heated exchanges, including Andrew Cuomo going after Mandani, and Curtis Sliwa comparing Mamdani’s resume to a cocktail napkin. With the anti-Mamdani vote currently split and Mamdani "handily ahead" in the polls, the question remains: Can the race dynamics change in time to prevent Mamdani, who critics fear is anti-Semitic and a socialist, from leading the city? The future of New York is on the line.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 10-22-25</title>
      <description>The final New York City mayoral debate was one for the record books! Join Rita Cosby for immediate analysis on the pivotal confrontation between frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and challengers Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.  Mamdani, who holds a double-digit lead, was exposed as potentially an "empty suit" with "very dangerous ideas" when challenged on his affiliations with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and his stance on crime. Cuomo, positioning himself as the voice of experience, hammered Mamdani on public safety, contrasting Mamdani's plan to send social workers to potential crime scenes with his own promise to hire 5,000 new cops. Did tonight change the dial, or is New York City heading toward the abyss.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 10-21-25</title>
      <description>Rita  explores the high-stakes New York City mayoral race, warning that the clock is ticking before the crucial debate, which may be the last chance to prevent Zorhan Mamdani from becoming mayor of the Big Apple. Mamdani is labeled by critics as a "radical politician" and a "terrorist sympathizer" who poses a "clear and present danger" to New York and America.  Rita covers the alarm bells being raised over his stance on Israel—using "code words" like "genocide" and "apartheid"—and concerns that he supports defunding, disarming, and disbanding the police, and abolishing jails. With Mamdani ahead in the polls, Rita and her callers discuss whether rivals Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo can put aside their egos, consolidate the anti-Mamdani vote, and deliver a "verbal knockout" in the debate.

      <description>CRISIS MODE: Far-left socialist Zoran MaMdani is poised for a landslide victory in the New York City mayoral race, a result predicted to be "catastrophic" and a "disaster" for the city and the nation. Ahead of the final, crucial debate, Rita Cosby details Mamdani’s radical views—including his anti-police stance, his association with a terror-linked imam, and his own words on the "addiction of revolution". With Mamdani holding a significant lead, political power brokers are intensely pressuring third-place candidate Curtis Sliwa to drop out immediately and unite the anti-Mamdani vote behind Andrew Cuomo. The clock is ticking. Will the final debate produce a "knockout blow" or an "October surprise," or is New York City "doomed"?.

Discussion centers on the need for the anti-Mamdani vote to consolidate because current polling data shows Mamdani winning handily in a three-way race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Both polling data and several influential figures, including John Catsimatidis and the New York Post editorial board, urge Republican candidate Sliwa to drop out of the race to allow Cuomo a better chance of winning in a one-on-one scenario, believing that Mamdani's victory would be catastrophic for the city and set a dangerous national trend.

With radical extremist Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani leading the polls, the stakes for New York and America couldn't be higher. Rita explores if the media was  "in the tank" for Mamdani and how opponents Cuomo and Sliwa failed to land the crucial "knockout punch" needed to change the race dynamics. Listen as we dissect Mamdani's dangerous views, including his proposals to send social workers instead of police to domestic violence calls and his history of seeming sympathy for suicide bombers and Hamas. Will Mamdani's victory embolden AOC and other leftist hopefuls, or is there still time for an October surprise?

Rita and callers express strong criticism of Mamdani, describing him as a dangerous "communist" or "terrorist sympathizer" who poses a threat to the city's safety and law enforcement. A central theme is the concern that Mamdani is likely to win because the other candidates and the debate moderators failed to effectively challenge him on his radical stances, especially regarding policing, protests, and foreign policy (specifically Israel). The discussion includes specific exchanges from the debate on issues like dispatching social workers versus police to mental health and domestic violence calls, and the candidates' differing views on handling civil disobedience and the right to protest.

The focus quickly turns to the contentious mayoral race and the controversial frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani. Critics warn that Mamdani is "frightening" and "bad news". With Mamdani leading, rivals Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo must deliver a "knockout punch" to stop what is called a "train of destruction" for New York City if Mamdani  wins.

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 10-15-25</title>
      <description>Rita  provides the best analysis ahead of the pivotal New York City mayoral general election debate. The focus is on the race's leading candidate, Democratic extreme socialist Zohran Mamdani. Rita breaks down Mamdani's highly controversial interview on Fox News, where he dodged questions about asking Hamas to disarm, refused to credit President Trump for the ceasefire and hostage return, and reaffirmed his belief in upholding the arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. Rita investigates Mamdani’s philosophy on public safety: his vision for handling violent repeat offenders involves community programs like 'Fountain House' instead of jail. Can opponents like Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo "topple Zohran Mamdani" in the upcoming two-hour debate and prevent the city from descending into "utter gridlock" and lawlessness? Tune in for tough talk and crucial insights

      <description>Rita talks about President Trump's powerful address at the UN made headlines globally. Hear the breakdown of his unwavering and bold speech, where he blasted the UN as "irrelevant"—an irony underscored by the mysterious broken escalator and teleprompter incident, dubbed "escalator gate" and "teleprompter gate".Trump declares he's fed up with Putin and makes a pivotal pronouncement: NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that enter their airspace. He also mocked Russia as a "paper tiger" and expressed belief that Ukraine can win the war and return to its original borders. Plus, he calls out Europe's open borders, warning they are a "security disaster" and urging them to "seal your borders" to stop the failed experiment of uncontrolled migration. Rita Cosby and callers debate the consequences of this crucial moment.

      <description>Rita talks about the powerful, remarkable moment from the Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, where Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, expressed forgiveness for her husband's assassin, a testament to faith that left many in tears. Erica also drew a sharp contrast, noting that Charlie’s supporters handled his murder with "revival," without the violence or rioting seen in other movements. The show discusses Charlie Kirk’s mission of dialogue—even reaching out to liberal commentators like Van Jones for a civil debate shortly before his death—while confronting the despicable mockery coming from members of "the squad," including AOC, who condemned Kirk as ignorant and hateful while opposing a resolution honoring him. Also featured: President Trump’s words of comfort for Erica Kirk, listener reactions to the act of forgiveness, and political debates concerning New York City’s future leadership.

        <![CDATA[<p>Rita talks about the powerful, remarkable moment from the Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, where Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, expressed forgiveness for her husband's assassin, a testament to faith that left many in tears. Erica also drew a sharp contrast, noting that Charlie’s supporters handled his murder with "revival," without the violence or rioting seen in other movements. The show discusses Charlie Kirk’s mission of dialogue—even reaching out to liberal commentators like Van Jones for a civil debate shortly before his death—while confronting the despicable mockery coming from members of "the squad," including AOC, who condemned Kirk as ignorant and hateful while opposing a resolution honoring him. Also featured: President Trump’s words of comfort for Erica Kirk, listener reactions to the act of forgiveness, and political debates concerning New York City’s future leadership.<br>

      <title>The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 09-22-25</title>
      <description>Rita talks  about Jimmy Kimmel being back on ABC after one of the shortest suspensions in TV history, but Sinclair Broadcasting is refusing to air his return unless he apologizes for his "ill-timed" and "insensitive" comments about Charlie Kirk. Plus, the New York City mayoral race intensifies as far-left Democratic socialist nominee Zoran Mandani gains potential endorsements from Hakeem Jeffries, Kathy Hochul, and Carl Heastie. Rita  examines the dangerous nature of Mandani's platform—including advocating to "Defund the police" and "open up the jails"—and debate if candidate Curtis can overcome misleading polls and split votes.
