This broadcast centers on the ambush and critical shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. by an alleged Afghan national. Rita Cosby connects the violence to the suspect's entry into the U.S. via the 2021 humanitarian parole program, arguing that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in a failure to properly vet incoming individuals. Host Rita Cosby and her callers express intense outrage, asserting that negative political rhetoric from the left has consistently vilified the military and law enforcement, thus contributing to an atmosphere where these attacks occur. The segment features a clip from President Trump, who calls the incident an act of evil and terror, supporting the FBI’s confirmation that the assault on the federal officers is being treated as a matter of national security. Authorities are currently investigating the shooter’s background and whether he was radicalized or supported by a larger network, especially as reports indicate he is not cooperating with police.

The show focuses primarily on the controversy surrounding a video produced by six Democrat members of Congress—referred to by commentators as the "Sedicious Six"—who urged active duty military personnel to refuse what they called "illegal orders." Rita Cosby and callers vehemently condemn the video, arguing that it is a seditious attempt to break the chain of command and sow distrust within the ranks, especially since the members could not specify any actual unlawful orders. Critics assert that this action violates the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and suggest that retired military officers involved, like Senator Mark Kelly, should face potential consequences such as a court-martial. The source indicates that the FBI has opened an official inquiry into the six Democrats, while Republican members of Congress released a counter-video emphasizing the importance of obeying lawful orders. Ultimately, commentators view the Democrats' video as an act motivated by political hatred for the president rather than genuine concern for military law.
