Summary
Rita dives straight into the geopolitical deep end, discussing President Trump’s preparations for a massive military strike against Iran that promises to be even bigger than "Operation Epic Fury". Closer to home, the show unpacks a terrifying midday stabbing spree on New York’s Upper West Side, where a suspect allegedly shouting "Allahu Akbar" severely wounded an Asian man and a Jewish man in random attacks. Rita and her fiery callers connect the city's rising tensions to the radical rhetoric of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the DSA, and left-wing influencers like Hasan Piker. Featuring everything from a caller vowing to carry a baseball bat for self-defense in what he dubs "Gaza on the Hudson" to billionaires fleeing the city in protest.
