Episode 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.
