Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, my friends, I gotta tell you this. In all
the years that I have been on the air, and
especially since President Trump went down that famous escalator in
twenty fifteen, so we're looking at ten years now, I
have never, and I mean never, outside of that assassination
(00:21):
attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and that always goes without saying,
I have never seen this audience this divided and this
disturbed and just honestly, everybody's got an opinion. I've never
(00:42):
seen an audience my audience, this incredible audience, Cooner Country,
this engaged about anything that the President has ever ever done,
both pro and con.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
My inbox is full.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The text line is, even when we're not on the air,
people are texting like crazy. People are contacting me on
social media, some really staunchly defending him. Others are very angry,
very disturbed by his comments. Anyway, So what I'm going
to do with today's show is I want to make
(01:20):
it as much about you, the callers, as possible, and
for you the callers, to express your opinion, because I'm
telling you there's going to be a lot of reaction.
There's going to be a lot of people on both
sides of this issue.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
People who have voted.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
For Trump three times, people who are diehard America first
MAGA Trump supporters to the core. So I'm sure all
of you know what I'm talking about. For the few
of you that don't, here is exactly what happened over
the weekend. Liberal actor director Rob and his wife Michelle
(02:02):
Singer were brutally murdered in their Brentwood mansion in Los Angeles.
And as you know, Rob Reiner very famous in Hollywood.
His father was famous. Rob Reiner himself was famous. He
of course was a part of all in the family.
He played infamously Meathead, a staunch liberal who kept portraying
(02:27):
Conservatives as and Republicans as a bunch of racists and
white supremacists. And that really set the template, I think
for Hollywood and for the left really for the last
fifty years. Reiner was someone who, whether you agree or disagree,
had a tremendous cultural impact because this portrayal, led by Archie,
(02:50):
the Archie Bunker character of all Republicans, Conservatives at the
time they were Nixon supporters, eventually Reagan supporters now trump'sters
as these quasi neo Nazis, fascists, white supremacists. That was
really first pushed by Rob Reiner, and then Hollywood picked
(03:12):
up on it, and then the left and the media
picked up on it. So he started off as meathead.
But then he also did many movies. He was a
director of many famous movies. Personally, I never really cared.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
For his work.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I'm just gonna be brutally honest. But he's had some
huge hits. The Princess Bride, a few good men, when
Harry met Sally, this is spinal tap. I could go
on and on. So in the liberal left Hollywood community,
he was widely loved, widely beloved. He was also, as
(03:47):
many of you know, a rabbit, and I mean a rabbit,
borderline fanatical, hateful, anti Trumper. He was involved in democratic
politics going back fifty years. I'm talking about Rob Reiner.
He was a massive Democratic donor. He was part of
(04:08):
the Hollywood Democrat elite, and he hated Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
With an absolute passion.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
In fact, he slandered Trump repeatedly, over and over and over,
to the point where it became almost an obsession. He
called Trump a Nazi, He called Trump hitler.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Again and again and again.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He said he was mentally unfit to be president, he
was a racist. He went on about Trump being an
agent of Russia and a trader. He called Trump every
name in the book to be brutally honest. He slandered
and defamed Trump over and over and over. Sunday, Rob
(04:58):
Reiner died at the age of seventy eight along with
his sixty eight year old wife, allegedly at the hands
of his son, Nick Reiner, who slashed their throats. He
slashed Rob Reiner's throat and then he slashed his mother's throat,
and apparently the two dead bodies were found by their
(05:21):
daughter the following day. Nick Reiner is in custody. He's
now been arrested. He has been remanded without bail, and
it brought Nick Reiner apparently battled drug addiction alcoholism all
of his life since the age of fifteen. He went
(05:41):
to rehab over seventeen times. He and his father were separated.
They did not get along. There were long stretches, they
never spoke to each other. Apparently there was a huge
fight at a Christmas party held by Conan O'Brien, the
Late Night or whatever, the late night talk show host,
and apparently was a vicious fight and Nick Reiner said
(06:05):
he hated his father, he hated his mother, and then
the following day he broke into their home with a
knife and he slashed their throats from ear to ear.
Let me just say this before I say anything else.
Reiner's death was horrific. Frankly, it's disgusting. I didn't like
(06:28):
Rob Reiner. I didn't care for Reiner's politics. I didn't
like him as a person. But nobody deserves to die
like this, nobody, and to die and have your throat
slit slashed by the hand of your own son is
one of the most ghastly, horrific murders and tragedies that
(06:50):
could befall anyone and any family. So when I found
out about it, I was stunned. I was shocked. How
do I say this. Saddened is not the right word,
but I genuinely felt bad.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
For the guy. I mean, I don't care for Reiner,
but I said, now, come on, man, this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Is whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
You know, he didn't just drop dead of a heart
attack or something. I mean, this is a really vile,
ghastly evil way to go. President Trump Monday morning. He
and Reiner have been having a feud for a very
(07:30):
long time. President Trump sparked an absolute firestorm. There's no
other way to put it when he went all in
and publicly trashed Rob Reiner Monday morning. And I want
to read to you word for word what Trump said,
(07:52):
so you understand exactly what he said, so we can
make it have an informed discussion and an informed debate,
Trump wrote on truth Social. Now, remember this is less
than twenty four hours after they've discovered Rob Reiner's body
and the details of his son slitting the throats of
(08:12):
the mother and the father. People are shocked, People are horrified,
people are disgusted. Quote this is what Trump wrote on
True Social. A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood.
Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but once very talented
(08:33):
movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with
his wife Michelle.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Reportedly due to the anger he.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with
a mind crippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes
referred to ASTDS.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
He was known to have driven people.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
This is only caps crazy by his raging obsession of
President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new
heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals and expectations
of greatness and with the golden age of America upon
us perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michelle rest
(09:31):
in peace. It was like a neutron bomb. The moment
he hits send, Hollywood went apoplectic. The media has gone apoplectic.
(09:52):
That's all they're talking about. It is saturation coverage. The
Democrats are saying he is a sociopath.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
He lacks the grace.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
The dignity, the decency, the compassion, the understanding to be
president of the United States. Many are actually now calling
for the twenty fifth Amendment to be invoked, and also
now many Republicans have openly denounced Trump. Marjorie Taylor Green
has now blasted Trump, saying, you are exploiting the death
(10:26):
of a family tragedy involving a son, mental health issues,
drug addiction, and the ghastly murder of a father and
a mother. Thomas Massey has now said what he said
was indefensible. Indefensible, Okay, just very because we're still loading
(10:47):
up the phone lines six one seven two, sixty six,
sixty eight, sixty eight is the number. Okay, if you
look at what Trump actually said in his truth post, Okay,
if you just objectively stand back, really what he said
that's offensive to many people.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Are two things.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Number One, that not that Rob Reiner was consumed with
trump arrangement syndrome.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Everybody knows he was, and that's.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Just a fact, but that it was this obsession with Trump,
with everything Trump, his affliction, as Trump put it, with
trumps arrangement syndrome that led to his murder. Now, you
don't to what, all due respect to the President, you
(11:39):
don't know why Rob Reiner's son, Nick picked up a
knife and slaughtered his father and his mother. You don't
know what drove it. And in fact, I seriously doubt
it unless Trump knows something all of us don't. I
seriously doubt it's because Nick Reiner a big Trump supporter,
(12:01):
and he just couldn't take his old man, you know,
constantly going on and on and on and on about
how evil Trump is and how bad Trump is, and
you know, how how fascist Trump is, and you.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Know, on and on.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So to be honest, it's like he doesn't know that
you don't know what ultimately drove the Sun to murder
Rob Reiner and you know, and his wife at the
hands of a thirty two year old drug addict who
battled mental health issues for most of his life. So
on the one hand, people are upset. Even in Maga,
(12:36):
many are upset saying, look, mister President, you're talking, you're
shooting from the hip. You're getting involved something that's a
deeply personal tragedy with a two horrific deaths. This is
not about you. You're making it about you. This has
nothing to do with you. That's number one. And you're
(12:58):
claiming that Rhiner was so obnoxious and so full of
hate and so toxic as a human being that essentially
he drove his son to murder him. In other words,
he didn't say it, but basically what he's saying is
(13:20):
correct me. You may disagree with me. I'm just giving
him my honest opinion. Basically, he had it coming. He
says it without saying it. It's sort of like the
way the left cheered on Charlie kirk. Well, he had
it coming, but comes around, goes around. And that was
pretty much what Trump was saying. Hey, look, this guy
(13:43):
was a hater. This guy drove everybody nuts. This guy
was just always, you know, with his Trump derangement syndrome,
constantly shoving his politics down everybody's throat. And after a while,
you know, you live by the sword, you die by
the sword. Hate begets hey, rage begets rage. And so
(14:04):
his son just couldn't take living with him anymore and
he killed him. So it was seen by many as cold,
lacking empathy. The left is calling it sociopathic. I disagree,
but the point is they're saying, look, this is not
you know, there's no grace, there's no civility, there's no compassion,
(14:27):
there's no class.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That's number one.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Number two, the fact that the man has just been
murdered and his wife at the hand of his own son, and.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You're almost gloating over his.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Death when he goes on about you know, well even
Rhiner didn't, you know, didn't see all the goals and
expectations that we set and this is now a golden age,
and you know, it's there's a it reeks, a little
bit of a you know, he's taunting, he's gloating, like
and you're dead and you said I would be a failure.
(15:05):
But my second term is, you know, exceeding even my
first term. Now, if I'm reading too much into it,
please tell me. But I think this is why so
many people are livid and upset. Now let me just
say this. Okay, that's and then I want to go
to the phone lines six one seven two six six
(15:25):
sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Like I'm in
the confessional. When I first read the true social post,
honest to god, I thought it was a fake. I
thought it was a fake. I thought, well, now they're
just trying to make Trump look bad. But then I
looked into it more and more and I'm like, no,
(15:47):
he really did say that. And my first thought was
to be honest. Look, and this is just how I
was raised. Notice when Dick Cheney passed away, I didn't
say a word. I'm not going to be a phony
and like the media and suddenly deify the guy and
I have to jump on the badwagon and say, oh,
(16:08):
Dick Cheney was a great man. No, he wasn't a
great man, but he just died. He's got daughters, he's
got family, he's got a grieving my wife. I'm not
gonna attack him. I'm not gonna vilify him. I'm not
gonna pylon. Okay, the dead can't defend themselves, and they
deserve at least a few days of privacy and dignity
where they can mourn the passing someone that was obviously
(16:30):
very dear to many people in that family. So to
be honest, when I first saw it, I'm like, dude,
the guy just just got murdered at the hand of
his own son.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Let it go. Just don't say anything. I get it.
You don't like the guy, and I don't blame you.
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
He was a you know, he was a jerk. I'm
sorry he was. He hated you, He persecuted you. He
did everything in his power to try to destroy you
and put you in jail. There's no question. I understand
you don't like him, but now is not the time.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Or the place. And you're the president of the United States.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I looked at this and I'm like, this is so
beneath the dignity of the office of the presidency. You're
taking potshots at a man who just got murdered by
his son. You're the president. You're supposed to be above this. Well,
(17:43):
was he supposed to.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Say Jeff nothing. That's what I do. That's how I
was raised by my parents.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
When someone passes away and you have nothing good to
say about him, say nothing. Six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, lines
are jammed. I'm gonna go right to the phone lines
just before I do, very quickly. It is the Kooner
Country Poll Question of the Day, sponsored by Marios Marios
(18:16):
Quality Roofing, Siding and Windows.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And it's already fifty to fifty. And I knew this
was going to be the case because I could just
tell by the reaction all day. It was like one,
you know, one in favor of one defending Trump, one
criticizing Trump, one defending Trump, one criticizing Trump. Uh yeah,
the poll on Actually, I got you. Did President Trump
(18:43):
go too far? When he posted on true Social that
Rob Reiner's murder was caused by Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Let me repeat it.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Did President Trump go too far? And he posted on
truth Social that Rob Reiner's murder was caused by Trump
derangement syndrome. Now, yeah, you can go to X my
my handle there at X is where we're holding the
(19:18):
poll right now, so please just go to X nowhere
else for now, we're trying to work on the other problem.
So X is working. Go to my ex handle at
the cooner report. At the Cooner report. All one word
kuh n r at the Cooner Report. A.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yes did he go too far? B? No he didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So yes is right now at fifty one percent? No
is that forty nine percent? And I suspect it's going
to be like this for much of the show. I
could be wrong, but anyway, so here it is now
one cut and then I want to go to the
phone lines, President Trump, And I mean there was a firestorm.
I mean it was That's all people were talking about, frankly,
(20:13):
all over the country yesterday, and not just in the media.
It's not just Democrats who were torching him. You had
many Republicans criticizing him, many Magas supporters obviously defending him.
And Trump was asked, point blank, do you want to
walk it back? Do you still stand by your post
(20:35):
that essentially Trump derangement syndrome is what got Rob Reiner murdered.
Listen now to Trump's response, he doubled down. Roll cut two, Mike.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
President.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on True
Social after the murder of Rob Reiner.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Do you stand by that post?
Speaker 7 (20:57):
Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He
was a direct changed person as far as Trump is concerned.
He said he likely he knew it was false, in fact,
to the exact opposite, that I was a friend of
Russia controlled by Russia, you know, the Russia hoox. He
was one of the people behind it. I think he
heard himself in career wise, he became like a deranged
(21:18):
person Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan
of Rob Reiner at all, in any way, shape or
for him.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I thought he was very bad for our country.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, so he stands by his comments. Now again, Look,
I'm not defending Rob Reiner because there's not much to defend.
I thought what he said against Trump over the last
decade was beyond disgusting. It was slanderous. It was these
were smears. I mean really, it was vile. What he
(21:48):
peddled was vile, toxic hate against Trump. So there's no
defense of Rob Reiner. But the man was just murdered
at the hands of his own son. I mean, dude,
I'm just being honest. Dude, you're the president of the
United States. Could you try to bring the country together
(22:13):
a little bit? Sometimes a non answer is an answer.
So look, I'll be honest. I'm like, you're just now
compounding this, You're making it even worse.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
But that's just me. I want to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Six one seven two, six, six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Okay, did he go too far? Yes? Or no?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Vince in Deutschland, in Germany, you're gonna kick us off, Vince,
and welcome.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Jeff.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
This isn't this isn't one hundred percent funny. This is
like a thousand percent funny.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
The whole thing's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And did Trump go too far?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
When?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Did Trump not go too far? That's why we love him?
And does that make me one of the basket of deplorables?
Guilty as charge? I'm as deplorable as they come. Because
the stuff I love about Trump that these shoot from
the hip posts he puts out and at the end
he's always like, thank you for your attention of this matter.
(23:21):
I mean, it's hilarious. And yes. Rob Reiner was one
of the pillars of the deep state in Hollywood.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Pushing the Russian collusion hoax. We've seen it hours upon
ours on MSNBC and CNN, the vitriol, the hate.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
The lies, and he knows their lies. He pedaled all
of it.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
So do we shed a tear for Rob Reiner?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Not one bit. This is hilarious. I love it, and
I love that Trump doubled down yesterday. Absolutely love it.
And talk about kar talk about karma. Is Don Junior
trying to stab down with one of his golf clubs?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Is he Is he.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Trying to bludgeon the death out on the course. Is
Ivanka out there trying to shive him in the back?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
No, Vince, let me ask you this just to play
devil's advocate.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Let's say, just for the sake of argument.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Okay, there is this personal grudge between Trump and Rob Reiner.
Most of it came from Rob Reiner. He hated him.
You're right, Rob Reiner, in fact, spend millions millions of
dollars teaming up with Obama officials, left wing journalists, anti
Trump activists to try to frame Trump as an agent
(24:46):
of Russia. They set up something called the Committee to
Investigate Russia. This was in Trump's first term, so and
he was colluding with the CIA. Rob Reiner was clearly
colluding with the CIA. That that's an open fact. So
he was collaborating with the deep state to bring down
the President, to frame him as an agent of Russia,
(25:06):
as a trader, and to overthrow him from power. And
he said the most vile things against Trump. There's no
He called him hitler, he called him mentally unfit, he
called him a racist. I mean, I'm just kidding. It's
a family show, so I gotta be careful. But it
was non stop demonization, the worst names you could possibly
(25:28):
call someone.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He did it again and again and again. No question,
but Vince, even.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
If you have a you know, a grudge against somebody,
the guy just got killed.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
The guy just got killed and his wife, and they got.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Their throats slashed in their home and at the hands
of their own son, there's nothing to say. What I
mean is what do you say to that that you
know that that argue. Hey, look, they just got murdered
in the most brutal, heinous way imaginable by one of
(26:06):
their own children, who has a lifelong problem with drugs
and addiction. There's nothing for him for the president to
say on this. Anything you say makes you come across
as lacking compassion, as lacking empathy, as lacking a conscience,
as lacking a sense of basic decency. You know, people
(26:30):
are mourning man's death even if they didn't like him politically,
because of the manner of the death.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And this now makes Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Look like an ogre. What say you, I'm just curious.
What do you say to that argument?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
I say, boohoo, you reap what you saw.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
Look what Rob Ryner created and in his own home,
his own son stabbed on the death with a vitriol,
a hate and a malice that will come out in
court and you'll see it'll be like OJ, You'll.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Find out what the real anger is about.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
He resented his father.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
It's you know what, I haven't done too much of
a deep dive, but if you want to get.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
A background, just follow the Daily Mail in the UK
and they've got all sorts of side stories about his
his addiction to drugs, his years of being involved with
like pornography and sex workers and whatever.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
It's like free for all in Hollywood, Holly weird.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
What does that say about Rob Reiner as a father?
You know what does that say about him as a father.
That's all I'm saying. You know what, look at Donald
Trump's children and then you look at Rob Reiner's children.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Vince as always thank you very much for that call.
So Vince is saying, uh, look.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You reap what you saw.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Rob Reiner, you know, lived by the sword, and now
he died by the sword, meaning he lived by hate,
and now he died by hate. Six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
you can text the cooner man seven zero four seven
zero seven zero four seven zero. And of course the
(28:12):
question before the House, it's what everybody's debating and discussing.
Did Trump go too far in his true social post
with some of his very harsh comments about the late
actor director Rob Reiner and his really heinous death, brutal
(28:32):
death at the hands of his son, allegedly that took
place over the weekend. He and his wife were killed
by their son, Nick, who now has been arrested and
is being held without bail. This is from.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Six to three.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I know six three. He's a very good friend of mine,
die hard, die hard Trump America first supporter. And here's
what he said. Quote Jeff whether they have a valid
point or not. There is no criticism that comes from
the left that I can or will ever personally take seriously.
(29:14):
They are hypocritical in everything they say and do, so
I don't even give them an ear To me, they're
nothing but background noise.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
But that said, had.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I been advising President Trump, because he is the President
of the United States, I would have advised him to
either stay out of it completely and say nothing, or
take the high road and simply offer some generic message
of condolences so as not to sully the presidency with
(29:51):
something that may appear callous or petty. Just let the
public handle it and they can chant ding dong the
witch is dead, but the president needs to remain above
the fray. Now, this is what many Trump supporters. This
is so I want to read six three. They're saying, Look,
(30:14):
you're the president, no one blames you. If you were
just a you know, back at Trump Power or in
mar A Lago, and you're a private citizen and you
know he attacked you and vilified you and defamed you, Okay,
you want to go at it, go at it. But
you are the president of the United States and an
(30:35):
American and rob Reiner, for all of his flaws, was
an American citizen who had just been murdered in one
of the most heinous, gruesome ways imaginable. That the president
needs to be above something like this, In other words,
(30:55):
not to get down and dirty and personal with a
man who just less than twenty four hours earlier had
his son slit his own throat in his own home.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight agree, disagree.
(31:16):
I said this on X and I stand by it
one thousand percent. To all the liberals out there, to
the Whoopi Goldbergs, You're gonna lose her mind. I'm gonna
play you a cut later on. The woman's gonna get
a heart attack, okay, To the Whoopi Goldbergs, to the
Hollywood leftists, to the Democrats, to all of those people
(31:39):
on the left who are now scorching, I mean, excoriating
Trump for his comments on Rob Reiner get lost.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I'm sorry, I have to say it, blank off, blank off. Now.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Would I have used Trump's words? You have my honest opinion, no, Okay.
If I was advising the president, I would have said,
mister President, I don't think No, I don't think you
should send this one out. You're not going to look
good in this one. You're going to come across, frankly
as petty, callous, a bit nasty. In fact, you know,
(32:19):
quite a bit nasty. And you know, what are you
gaining from this? I mean, you're practically dancing on the
guy's grave and coming from you and you were so
great on Charlie Kirk. You know the left is going
to turn around and say you're being a hypocrite. You
know that all these leftists who were cheering the death
(32:41):
and assassination of Charlie Kirk, now he's not cheering the
death of Rob Reiner.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Trump did not do that, but.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I you know, i'd say, you're going to open yourself
up to that attack, like why would you do this?
I mean, look, you can say whatever you want. You're
the president, you're a free man. I'm just as an advisor.
I'm looking at this and I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Like, he's dead.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I mean, dude, I don't know what else to tell you,
and not just that he's dead, his son killed him allegedly.
I mean, you know you want to you know, you
want to talk about what you report you saw here.
It is so you don't need to say anything if
you have my honest opinion. Okay, but let that go.
(33:27):
Just let that go. I'm not going to be lectured
to by the very same people. And I'm sorry this
was Rob Reiner, but especially those on the left, Democrats
Hollywood who for ten years compared Trump to Hitler, who
(33:52):
openly cheered his attempted assassination and murder, who have villa maga.
This audience me Trump's supporters as neo nazi fascists come
for the last ten years, and as I mentioned, we're
(34:12):
dancing on the grave of Charlie Kirk, openly celebrating and
cheering on the fact that he got practically his head
blown off. Don't lecture me on civility. Don't lecture us
on what's appropriate and not appropriate, and what's graceful and
(34:33):
not graceful, and what's compassionate and not compassionate. So to me,
and this is what I said to Grace last night,
and I stand behind it one thousand percent. She says,
you're going to do the show on this. I oh,
you better believe it. But to me, the debate is
among conservatives. It's a beta bunk maga among Trump's supporters,
(34:55):
among Kooner Country, because that to me, are the only
people whose opinions mather it matter in this the left, liberals, Democrats,
Hollywood have They have no moral credibility or authority to
even talk about this issue. When you can call a
(35:17):
man hitler and cheer on his attempted murder and try
to bankrupt him and his family and try to destroy
him as they have over and over and over and
over again, you don't get to set the rules now
and tell us what's appropriate and what's not appropriatey you
(35:40):
forfeited that moral right. So to me, I don't care
what Hollywood says, or what the Democrats say, or what
the media says. What I care about is what this
audience says, What Trump supporters say, what conservatives, patriot it's
(36:00):
maga America first, whatever you want to call it. What
do we say?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Was Trump right? Was Trump wrong? What he said? Was
was it appropriate? Or were you.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Happy with him and how he conducted himself as the
president and commander in chief? Or do you think he
went too far? Six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight Brenda in Beverly.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Thanks for holding Brenda and welcome.
Speaker 8 (36:37):
Jeff.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I am going to say that I love Vince from Germany,
and for the most part I agree with that, gentleman.
But on this we're going to hot ways. I am
absolutely keeoed with this post.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Every time I see it or when I heard you
reading it again, it just does something to me.
Speaker 9 (36:59):
This early.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
It was debased, It was undignified, totally undignified for any president,
but especially the president that we have defended for the
last ten years. When you consider the nature of these
people's demise, Okay, take out all of the garbage that
Rob Reiner was throwing his way, Okay, take that out.
(37:27):
This man and his wife, God rest their souls were
brutally murdered, allegedly at the hands of their very disturbed son.
What Trump said is indefensible. Now he book ended it,
and I posted this to a friend. He he book
ended it with niceties. He comes out with the oh,
(37:47):
a sad thing happened, and then he ends it with
you know, uh or maybe they rest in peace sometimes,
you know what, Trump needs to shut it. We've been
saying this now for but ten years. We love this man. Okay,
he's a fighter and everything, but he's he because he's unfiltered.
He has that stream of consciousness thinking he gets, he
(38:11):
gets himself in deep doodoo.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
All right.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
You know, we don't want to get into the gutter
with these people that we've been fighting with the ten years.
You know, we don't want to get into the pig
pen with him. And we certainly and I know I
certainly don't want to become what I despise, which is
what's been going on. This was not the time for
him to vent his grievance towards Rob Reiner, because Rob
Reiner and his wife are not here to defend themselves.
(38:36):
You know, perhaps he should have done that when Rob
Reiner was still breathing.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
The fresh air.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Okay, this was not the time for him to start
getting into the gutter.
Speaker 8 (38:47):
All right.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
My mind is just sort of like bent right now.
Something is going on with him. He's been walking a
fine line lately. Trump. You know, again, we understand that
he's unfiltered and is a stream of consciousness thinker. But
he went this was an opportunity and he lost it.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
This was an opportunity the.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Right to this, Brenda, let me just drill down and
ask you this what in particular for you, what did
he do that was especially egregious. What was the line
that he crossed? What did he say? Because you said
it was indefensible? So what did he say in that post?
Just so that people understand, you know, what did he
(39:33):
say in that post that for you? He said, Jeff,
this is just wrong and indefensible. What in particular offended
you the most?
Speaker 4 (39:43):
I wish that I had the post in front of me.
I'm on a paraphrase. It's when he glided in from
the nicety at the very beginning and went right into this.
It was like alluding to the fact that the reason
that he's dead has to he alluded. He alluded to
the fact that the reason this man finds himself in
a death situation is because he suffered from Trump derangement syndrome,
(40:06):
and that he angered many people he said, didn't he say?
He drove people crazy with the things that he said.
So there was there's like an indirect alluding that. You know,
it's sort of like this man brought on his own
devise as a result of the fact because he suffered
from trumped derangement syndrome. That has nothing to do with
(40:28):
this nothing. There is nothing about trumped arrangement syndrome in
this situation where from what we know now that his
son allegedly but you know, it's not looking like he
did it, that his son did this, and it's son
I don't believe as having trumped arrangement syndrome he's got.
He's got other more serious issues as we all know.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah, look, I mean, Brenda, that's what many people are
saying that. Look, there was a big fight the night
before at a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house, that
late night comedian talks. Oh, I don't know. I he's
still on the air, but whatever. And no, no, his
son hated Rob Reiner. And it wasn't because you know,
Rob Reiner was a Trump supporter. You know, I'm sorry,
(41:10):
I don't mean to laugh, but he hated Rob Reiner.
For Rob Reiner, they had something going back thirty five years.
I mean, it was a long list of grievances. Furthermore,
he had battled addiction his whole life, mental health problems
his whole life. He spent long stretches homeless, He got
(41:31):
involved with prostitutes, sex workers, pornography, I mean literally in
the porn business. He was a deeply troubled man. So
what a lot of people are saying is look, it's
just a not true. It's just not true. The son
didn't kill him because of somehow, you know, Rob Reiner's
TDS drove him to it. And I think what you're
(41:53):
saying is this is a personal tragedy. A man is dead,
his wife is dead, the son killed him. Why is
the President of the United States getting involved in something
like this and making it about him?
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Correct? Is that what you're es centrally saying.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
What I don't give to reps about the golden age
of Trump right now when I am aware of the
fact that there are two people who I'm completely opposed
to in a political sense, but in a human on
a human level, for crispsakes, they were brutally murdered, Jeff.
(42:37):
I mean, it's horrific, all right. He used this as
a platform to get out his grievance towards Rob Reiner,
which he's been waiting to do it. It's like you
know that there's that person that you just really don't like,
and you've been holding it in. You've been holding it in,
you've been holding it in, and then finally you have
that moment. It's like, Aha, I'm just gonna let you
(42:59):
have it now. Wow, this was not the time to
let Rob Reiner essentially have it in his death and
in his wife's death. Indefensible, callous, undignified the base. He
has got to learn to rein it in. There are
opportunities for him to do that. On a political level,
(43:22):
this is something other than this is where we show
our humanity towards other people, even to other people that
we totally dislike.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Brenda, thank you very much for that call you heard
from Vince. You heard from Brenda. The poll question fifty
to fifty. Vince gave one side, Brenda gave the other side.
I think it's going to be three hours of three
and m one, what is it another three hours to
go in the show. I think it's going to be
three hours of this. So I want everybody to weigh in,
(43:55):
who do you side with? Did Trump go too far?
Or was Trump just speak the truth? Six two six
six sixty eight sixty eight lines are exploding, Jimmy and Lawrence,
thanks for holding Jimmy and welcome.
Speaker 5 (44:14):
Jeff. I love you in a non footy Jed way.
I have to tell you that I'm gonna tip it
your way. Jeff and make it about sixty seven percent
with you, because I'm disappointed in Trump. Uh, and I'm
gonna tell you why I'm disappointed in Trump. Trump has
(44:37):
already won the battle between Rob Bryner and himself and
any of these other lefties who made it their personal
mission to crucify him. He he won that battle when he
won the presidency. And going back to the old expression,
good living is the best revenge, the best thing Trump
(44:57):
could have done would to beat out clap the entire
left by showing decency and dignity in this moment, because
decency and dignity are the two things that separate us
from the left.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
So Jimmy, let me ask you this, how bad of
a mistake in your view do you think it is?
Speaker 2 (45:22):
Do you think this will be forgotten in a week
or two?
Speaker 1 (45:25):
In other words, you know, because we've had this with
Trump now we all know him. You know, he's like that,
you know when I say this affectionately obviously you know,
the crazy uncle at Thanksgiving or you know, he says
things and you're like, well, I wish you wouldn't have
said it like this, but ah, he's right, you know.
So he's had a bit of a foot and mouth
issue since you know, since he ran for president, right,
(45:48):
but usually because he's right and he's so effective as president,
people say, ah, it's just Trump being Trump. You know,
that's just you know, that's just how he is. He's unfiltered,
he's unplugged. That doesn't quite say everything in the most diplomatic,
polished way possible.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
But is this different?
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Do you think this is going to tarnish his image
that he does come across?
Speaker 2 (46:13):
I don't know, cold, you.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Know, as Brenda said, undignified, almost unpresidential, a little bit nasty.
Or do you think this will blow over in a.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Week or two? Well, what do you think, Jimmy, I
think it will blow over.
Speaker 5 (46:28):
The left right now is jumping on anything that can
give them five minutes of negativity against the president. And
right now this is in the headlines. Yesterday it was
photographs of him allegedly on Epstein Island with underage girls.
Before that, it was the ballroom, and that keeps coming back.
(46:49):
So they're going to jump on anything that comes their
way that can give them the opportunity to take to
continue this effort of death by a thousand cuts and
just jump all over every single move he makes There'll
be something coming up in the next few days, guaranteed. Uh,
this this will, this will blow over. But it still
(47:10):
doesn't change the fact that it was a disappointment. So
those of us that know that this man is our
fighter and this man sets the example for the rest
of MAGA for him to come out and behave this way,
I think I think it really hurt a lot of
us on a personal level.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
Interesting, Jimmy, thank you very much for that call. Uh
and from the heart, I appreciate that. Okay, Mike, mystro Mike,
who do you want me to go to? Next? Six
one seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight. Dave
in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Dave and welcome.
Speaker 9 (47:49):
Hey, good morning, Jump, Thank my pleasure. I want I
want to say that I got no problem with it
at all, be honest with you. Just because the man
died and how he died, they're gonna ask them, the
media would be asking him, how do you feel about it? Anyways?
So you got to answer something or be quiet. Being
quiet is an answer, Okay, it's a sign of respect
(48:12):
just by shutting up. Why why should he respect him? Okay?
That man was a piece of garbage, and I don't care.
And just because he was murdered by his own son,
that means nothing to me. Okay, you know now what.
He's a bad person and a bad parent too. I
don't care, all right. I think half the problem with
the Republicans is they don't fight. Oh they're always always
take the moral high ground. Well, that's why we don't
(48:33):
get anything done either, all right, And you know what
I mean. And then I'm waiting for the sistis to
start calling to say it. Oh, I you know, if
this is the way it's going to be, I'll sit
out the election and all this. We'll go stand with
the enemy. Then we have blocked. Okay, because this is
the facts, all right. That man was a stum he
how many things did he say about us? All right?
About Trump? Why should he hold back? Okay, stand up
(48:57):
and tell and tell they hate us. I'm so tired
of this. Oh, we gott to tone down the rhetoric,
try to come together. We have so far beyond that,
all right, we are so far beyond that that I'm
not going to play nice with these people. I don't
care what Trump said. You know what, I'm happy he
said it. Okay, because that's the fact. Don't play nice
(49:17):
with people who hate you. There's no point in it.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
And Dave, just so that you know, because I've been
I've been going back and forth with a couple of
liberals on this and they're like, you know, oh, you know,
Reiner would never have said anything like this.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
I'm like, are you on drugs? Reiner?
Speaker 1 (49:34):
Literally I have to be careful, Dave, because I don't
want to get a fine. Reiner said, forget everything he
called Trump, Okay, forget all of that. What he said
about Maga is that all Maga you are. It's what
he said, the F bomb, fing a holes. This is
what he said about every Trump supporter.
