Dive into this fiery episode of The Rita Cosby Show as Rita breaks down the latest breaking news in the ongoing US-Iran conflict under the Trump administration. From rag-tag Iranian "pirate" gunboats hijacking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz to the economic chokehold of the US naval blockade, Rita dissects the military strategies behind Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury. Along the way, she takes aim at Democratic critics she claims are suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome," claps back at armchair-expert callers trying to play general, and unpacks the domestic drama surrounding a New York City councilman's protest arrest. It's a high-stakes discussion on war, diplomacy, and the deep political divides back home.
