The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 09-22-25

Rita talks about Jimmy Kimmel being back on ABC after one of the shortest suspensions in TV history, but Sinclair Broadcasting is refusing to air his return unless he apologizes for his "ill-timed" and "insensitive" comments about Charlie Kirk. Plus, the New York City mayoral race intensifies as far-left Democratic socialist nominee Zoran Mandani gains potential endorsements from Hakeem Jeffries, Kathy Hochul, and Carl Heastie. Rita examines the dangerous nature of Mandani's platform—including advocating to "Defund the police" and "open up the jails"—and debate if candidate Curtis can overcome misleading polls and split votes.
