Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 81 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alan Dershowitz: No One Who Believes in Humanity Should Condemn Trump's Attacks on Iran Because Ensuring They Never Get a Nuclear Weapon Will Save Millions of Lives | 03-24-26
Q: The question is, though, how can we ever trust Iran?
Dershowitz emphasizes that trust must be earned through verifiable, concrete actions such as dismantling nuclear material and ensuring daily inspections, not just verbal assurances.
Gen. Jack Keane: The War Against Iran Exists to Deny Them the Capability to Do Any More Harm to America and the World | 03-25-26
Q: What was the prize President Trump was talking about yesterday?
Keane declines to speculate, suggesting it could involve ships or leverage tied to the Strait of Hormuz, but emphasizes that the exact payoff is unclear and likely not something that would dramatically change the outcome for the U.S. in the near term.
Tom Homan: Democrats are Punishing the American People by Not Opening DHS at a Time of Heightened Threat to the Homeland | 03-25-26
Q: Tom, good to talk to you again. So you have a local DA in Philadelphia, Krasna, and he's already announced he's going to arrest and put in handcuffs ICE agents if he decides that somehow they're breaking the law.
The guest responds by reiterating federal authority over immigration enforcement and downplaying local authorities' attempts to intervene, emphasizing that ICE operates under federal law and should not be obstructed by local actions.
The Cats and Cosby Show | 03-23-26
Q: What do you think happened at LaGuardia and why?
The consensus is that human error and miscommunication played significant roles, with the cockpit and ground crew tensions amplifying the crisis; ongoing investigations will clarify the exact chain of events.
Jonathan Fahey: Democrats are Proving that They Don't Seem to Care about Americans by Continuing to Refuse to Fund DHS at a Heightened Time of Security | 03-26-26
Q: What do you make of this, Jonathan Fahey, given the current situation with DHS funding and airport lines?
Fahey argues that Democrats' stance undermines ICE operations and national security, accusing them of prioritizing political messaging over American safety, and he cites specific legal and constitutional considerations to justify a tougher stance.
