## Resource

In this hour of The Rita Cosby Show, Rita dives straight into the culture wars and national security crises gripping America. She breaks down the DOJ's new civil rights investigation into a New York coffee shop that refused service to a Jewish congressman, alongside their lawsuit against the state of New York over a controversial mask ban impacting ICE agents. With high-stakes primaries looming, Rita exposes the alarming rhetoric of rising radical socialist candidates. The show then takes a hard pivot to foreign policy, revealing the shocking news that Iranian operatives attempted to infiltrate the U.S. northern border by posing as members of a FIFA soccer team.
