Courage and Controversy: From New York to Kentucky | 03-12-26

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid speaks on Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosting an Iftar service at City Hall to break the fast for Ramadan, followed by a report on NYC Comptroller Mark Levine testifying at the first City Council budget hearing that the city lost 38,000 private-sector jobs and faces a projected $7.3 billion two-year budget gap; he opposes raising property taxes, supports changing the state local-aid formula, and is cautious about taxing millionaires and corporations, while City Hall says the budget director will testify later because he is fasting for Ramadan. Sid then criticizes CNN’s framing and on-air wording about the ISIS-inspired terrorist attack outside Gracie Mansion last weekend, before he mocks the women of The View for claiming that the Iran war was launched by President Trump to distract from other stories such as “Savannah Guthrie” and the Epstein files. Andrew Giuliani, Arthur Aidala, Bill O'Reilly, Caroline Glick, Darrin Porcher & Joe Benigno join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
