The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 2 | 11-05-25

Rita Cosby dives into the chaos of the biggest government shutdown in modern history (now 36 days long), which has forced the FAA to mandate a 10% flight cut at 40 major airports due to severe staffing shortages as air traffic controllers call out sick because they aren’t getting paid. Then, Rita dissects the “disastrous” election night results, focusing intensely on the shocking victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. Hear President Trump blast the new mayor as a “communist” and predict a forthcoming disaster and mass exodus from the “capital of capitalism”. From Mamdani’s fiery, “vitriolic” victory speech—deemed a case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome”—to fears of up to 4,000 NYPD officers leaving, Rita breaks down what this radical, “my way or the highway” administration means for the future of New York and America.
