Owner’s Own Show “wow”
Rita is just an empty headed barbie and WABC owner “Cats” is totally incoherent and unlistenable talking with all that jizzglop in his throat, just plain awful!

Impressive Guests
Rita seems really nice but she is not a good radio interviewer. Takes up so much time asking a question the giving a lot of commentary around the question instead of letting the expert guests answer the question. Someone needs to sit with her while listening to the podcast and correct her missteps. Think she could quickly learn how to fix this problem because it is getting hard to listen

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

James Gagliano: The Jury in the Lindsay Clancy Trail Appears Deadlocked... Where Does the Case Go From Here?

Q: Now, can you read anything from the jury like what you're hearing, James?

James indicates that reading the jury is difficult due to emotional displays and juror dynamics, but suggests the panel may remain deadlocked, which would push the judge toward a mistrial unless further deliberations or legal instructions alter the course.

Bruce Blakeman: NY Should Have A Comprehensive Immigration Plan Where We Focus on the Criminals And Those Here Only Seeking Phony Asylum

Q: What is your approach to handling undocumented migrants who commit crimes versus those who are lawfully employed with no criminal history?

The guest argues for a tiered approach: deportation for violent criminals, while supporting a guest-worker framework for those with employment and no major offenses, coupled with better enforcement in collaboration with ICE.

Jason Rantz: How Can Washington State Try and Shut Down a Nonprofit Trying to Clean Drugs Off the Streets of Seattle?

Q: What does the founder say about the investigation and the nonprofit's mission?

Andrew Suarez contends that We Heart Seattle knows what it's doing, that volunteers are making a positive impact, and that the scrutiny is an overreach that could hinder grassroots efforts to improve safety and cleanliness in public spaces.

Jason Rantz: How Can Washington State Try and Shut Down a Nonprofit Trying to Clean Drugs Off the Streets of Seattle?

Q: So this is a real controversy where the state is examining a nonprofit cleaning up drug debris in Seattle—what exactly is the concern here?

The concern centers on whether the cleanup operations are being performed safely and whether the state regulatory body has the proper grounds to question the nonprofit's methods, while the nonprofit argues they are effectively addressing hazardous conditions in parks.

Sheriff Kyle Bourgault: I am Suing New York State on Its Sanctuary Policies Because They Put Law Enforcement and Public Safety at Grave Risk

Q: Kyle Bourgault, talk about just how dangerous this policy is by New York State and why you wanted to join the suit.

The sheriff argues that sanctuary policies hinder cooperation with federal authorities, increasing risk to public safety by allowing individuals with criminal histories to evade immediate handover to ICE, and he defends the jail enforcement model as a safer alternative that keeps communities secure.
