The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 01-26-26

from The Rita Cosby Show · host 77 WABC

Rita Cosby takes you inside the "tinderbox" of Minneapolis following the tragic and controversial shooting of armed protester Alex Pretti and Renee Good during an ICE operation. Rita dissects the inflammatory rhetoric from Governor Tim Walz—who compared federal agents to the Gestapo hunting Anne Frank—and debates whether bringing a loaded gun to a volatile protest is ever a "smart idea". Featuring a heated showdown with caller Robert over whether the deceased was a "Florence Nightingale" figure or a dangerous agitator, Rita also covers the incoming arrival of "Border Czar" Tom Homan and a miraculous off-duty rescue by a state trooper. It’s a raw look at law enforcement, sanctuary cities, and the thin line between rights and risks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
