## Resource

In this action-packed hour of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita breaks down the newly signed Trump-Iran nuclear deal, highlighting JD Vance's take on how it leaves the Obama-era policies in the dust. Rita also tackles the fiery backlash from Democrats like Senator Cory Booker and calls out the anti-Israel rhetoric echoing from a Democratic Socialists rally in Brooklyn. Plus, a recap of the Gilgo Beach killer's sentencing, where victims' families finally got their say and a no-nonsense judge locked away the "despicable small man" for good. Finally, Rita wraps up with a heartwarming tribute to our 100-plus-year-old WWII heroes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
