  • I’m done

    Done with Newsmax TV. Why on earth Barney Frank comes on Rita’s show every Saturday to spew his hatred for America is beyond me. The spit and slobber running down his face at 9 am is the last thing I want to see before breakfast.

    Rita is one of the best out there. She is insightful and delivers great interviews. Anyone who says differently is fake news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

General Keane | 04-10-26
Q: Well, General, what's the pulse of the situation?
General Keane explains the negotiations are ongoing with Iran, that there are a couple of options involving stopping oil through the Straits of Hormuz or forcibly reopening the straits if negotiations don't yield results, and that the U.S. needs to be ready for tough choices.
Victoria Coates | 04-01-26
Q: What did you think of the president's speech?
Coates describes the speech as factual and stresses that it rejected claims of Iranian gains, emphasized no nuclear weapons or missiles, and framed the strategy as a short-term, containment-focused approach with potential for a deal if Iran engages constructively.
Dr. Sky | 04-01-26
Q: How long is the mission and what do they eat up there?
The guest explains a 10-day mission timeframe, mentions dehydration-adjusted meals like burritos and brisket, hydration options, and the broader emphasis on maintaining health and flexibility during spaceflight.
Dr. Sky | 04-01-26
Q: So what was going on through your mind when you saw Artemis 2 lift off?
The guest describes tears in the eyes of the host and others, highlighting pride and emotional impact, and then explains the sequence of awe and excitement around the liftoff, including the sense of national achievement.
Dr. Sky | 03-10-26
Q: Now, how often does this happen?
Debris events like this are not frequent, and while there are occasional satellite re-entries, the overall risk to land and people remains very low, making it more of a space weather and tracking story than a crisis.
