Kimmel Controversy Sparks Political Maelstrom: From Kirk to NYC's Mayoral Race | 09-18-25

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid focuses on the indefinite suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel following comments about Charlie Kirk, deemed offensive by Nexstar Media Group. The FCC Chairman suggested possible punitive measures, prompting Disney, owner of ABC, to pull Kimmel's show. This incident draws comparisons to CBS’s cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show. Sid also covers President Trump's comments about labeling Antifa as a domestic terror organization and bringing legal action against agitators. Additionally, Rosenberg delves into the New York City mayoral race, with endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from top Democratic leaders and his campaign priorities like universal childcare. Mayor Eric Adams criticizes Mamdani's supporters for their negative rhetoric, linking it to recent political violence. Joshua Macciello, Jack Ciattarelli, Brilyn Hollyhand & Bill O'Reilly join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning.
