WABC Radio Host Brian Kilmeade joins Sid to discuss the death of WABC personality and veteran TV anchor Ernie Anastos, who died at 82, praising his authenticity, positivity, and straightforward delivery of news, including his "Positively Ernie" podcast. Sid and Brian contrast Anastos and earlier network anchors with today’s opinion-driven media, citing examples like Dan Rather and Katie Couric showing strong partisan views after leaving network roles. The conversation then shifts to New York City politics: Sid criticizes City Council Speaker Julie Menin for publicly calling him Islamophobic while he supports Councilmember Vicki Paladino, noting attorney Jim Walden represents her amid a censure effort. They discuss allegations about Mayor Mamdani’s wife’s social media activity and anti-Israel work, and Kilmeade urges ongoing exposure while expressing support for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s campaign against Governor Hochul.
