Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 84 ratings
  • 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

  • Good content BUT PLEASE

    STOP SCREAMING OVER ONE ANOTHER AND Rita reduce your questions - not editorials. Save that for your nighttime show when you have more time and fewer guests.

Joe Concha: Trump Getting Ready to Fire Back at the Media at the White House Correspondents Dinner After Getting More than 90% Negative Coverage from Them | 04-24-26
Q: Why does Trump's accessibility matter in this context, and how could it influence coverage?
Because Trump is highly reachable by phone and in person, his ability to engage directly with reporters complicates traditional media narratives and invites a more confrontational dialogue at the event, potentially shaping subsequent coverage.

Q: Joe, what do you think is going to happen at the White House Correspondents Dinner?
Joe expects Trump to push back with zingers and assert his First Amendment rights, using the opportunity to respond to what he sees as unfair coverage, while noting the press's perceived hostility from the audience and dynamics around access to the president.

Q: Is there a real chance to move the Homeland Security funding and the border-security agenda forward given the current politics?
Yes, there is a real chance if we move forward with reconciliation and 51-vote strategies in the Senate, despite unified opposition from Democrats on these funding measures.
Rep. Steve Scalise: Democrats Have So Much Hate for President Trump that They Are Rooting Against America in Our War with Iran | 04-23-26
Q: Majority Leader Scalise, have you ever seen such craziness?
I have not. There's a perception of chaos, but we're focused on trying to fund essential departments and secure the border, even as the political climate remains highly charged.

Q: If you were standing in the Oval Office next to President Trump and he asked you for some advice, what advice would you give him?
Advise to hold the line, keep key allies in place, fund the Homeland Security Department fully, and push back against Democrats who endeavor to block action, masking this as a fight to enforce border security and protect national sovereignty.
