Speaker 1 (00:01):
On seventen wr she's more of the marks emosia.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, a lot going on. So Nick Reiner, son of
Rob Reiner, should be in court for his first court
appearance later today. We'll see what happens there. There were
other people at that party the night before the Conan
O'Brien Christmas party. Jane Fonda was there and she tweets
Rob and Michelle Reiner were wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people,
(00:32):
always coming up with ideas for how to make the
world better kinder. Now that brings us back to the
question again. I talked to Rob Reiner a many many times.
He was a warm, fun sweet guy. So why when
it came to the Trump derangement syndrome was he so vicious?
(00:53):
If you look at my Twitter, there's a montage of
his tweets. I mean, they weren't just I don't like Trump,
I disagree with him on this, I don't think he's
right about this, or I hate when Trump does. They
were vicious, the F word, cursing and screaming, calling him
an f in rapist of this, I mean, just the worst,
hate filled And it's not just him, Many of these people,
(01:16):
many Hollywood types that you know and love and they're
lovable and sweet, and then when they get on the
subject of Trump, they become these raging, angry, vicious people.
What is it about Trump that does that? I mean,
we didn't like Joe Biden so much, but you didn't
get no rage about it. You said, you know, he
(01:37):
made fun of Biden bumping into walls and the way
he talked, and you hated his policy on the border,
and he didn't like Biden's law there. But you know,
I didn't stay up all night raging about it. We
didn't get into a There wasn't smoke coming out of
your ears, pham coming out of your mouth in a
mad rage talking about him. We just didn't like the guy.
(01:59):
But and again, Rob Reiner is a good example of
a very sweet, warm guy. Why how did he get
himself into such a rage about Trump? It's not just politics,
as I was saying before, he did a lot of
great work in politics. For many years before that. He
was working on programs for kids and children in trouble,
(02:22):
and he worked with the governor of California, not Newsome,
whoever it was back then, and the governor was so
impressed with this work. He put him in the head
of a committee and a commission, and Rob Reiner would
fly to a Sacramento to meet with the governor every
month and did excellent work of political work. You know,
whether he agreed with her or not, but he was
(02:43):
very reasonable guy who talked reasonably. That he'd run the
committee commission meetings. But when it came to Trump a
raging maniac about it. I don't know what that's just
him again. You see this all over. Check out some
of your favorite star on Facebook or Twitter or they're
like nuts when they talk about Trump. I don't know.
(03:07):
He just sets them off, and I don't nobody's ever
been able to really explain it now. Uh. Susie Wiles
is the chief of staff in the White House. She's
been excellent, best person Trump has had around him. She's
been in politics for a long time. She worked for DeSantis,
she worked in the Reagan administration back then. She was
(03:30):
Susie Summer All. Her father was Pat Summer. All. Susie
Wiles great and she stays behind the scenes, she stays
under the radar. She's not looking for any attention or publicity.
But she did this big interview with Vanity Fair where
she sat down with this big Vanity Fair writer for
like eleven hours and eleven different sessions. I don't know why. Now,
(03:52):
the guy does have a history of covering chiefs of
staff and has written extensively about them. But on the
other hand, the guy's a big Trump hater. It's Vanity Fair.
He's a you know, left wing Trump arrangement syndrome type.
I don't know why she sent down with him, but
she did, and a big, long interview has come out.
(04:13):
There's stuff in there that people are a little surprised by.
It just seemed like things she wouldn't want to say publicly.
She said, you know, she's talking about JD. Vance. She said, wow,
he was always a conspiracy theorist. And she's talking about revenge,
you know, law fair And I've tried to get Trump
to stop the law fair, to stop the revenge, stop
(04:34):
going after his enemies, and I tried to stop. You know,
why would you say this to Vanity Fair? Then at
one point she said, he's got an alcoholic personality in
that like an alcoholic when they're in that stage, they
think they can do anything. They believe they could get
away with anything, do anything. I mean, I don't know
(04:58):
why she would say this stuff. Now it wasn't an
off the record interview, or maybe it wasn't. The guy
violated it, but she hasn't said that. At one point
she denied one of these comments. She said, well, I
didn't actually say that, and then the guy produced a
tape of her saying, Now, what's made it even worse?
If you read the Vanity Fair lengthy article, most of it,
(05:19):
although some of it's negative, it's quite thoughtful and negative.
But the problem is, I guess they gave it to
the New York Times to write an article about the
Vanity Fair interview, and the New York Times guy when
he wrote it, because it's the New York Times, completely
distorted it. He took quotes out of context, and he
made everything sound fifty times worse than it actually was
(05:40):
in the interview. But the problem is most people don't
read Vanity Fair. You got to have a subscription and
pay for it. Most people, most of the world does
not read Vanity Fair. Very few people actually do. A
lot of people read the New York Times, so more
people will just read the New York Times summary of
the interview, and it's really taken out of context, slanted, bias, distorted,
(06:03):
So that's going to make it sound even worse. I mean,
President Trump won't like it when he reads it, but
somebody will have printed out the Vanity Fair article, the
actual article, and handed it to him. He'll see that
it looks a little better. There. What else is she
saying there? She said he didn't know Kallainne Maxwell got
moved to a nicer prison and he wasn't happy about it. Well,
(06:26):
I mean, if he was that unhappy, he could have
moved her back. But it's just not stuff you say,
especially if you're Susie wils who's an old Washington hand
who knows how things work. Yeah, it's one thing that
was Remember Anthony Scaramucci got himself in trouble. I don't
know why, but he started talking to the New York Times.
He thought it was off the record. He said awful things,
(06:46):
and well, oh, actually what happened was he said all
this awful stuff and then at the end of the
call he said, by the way, this is off the record.
Well he was an amateur at this, you know, coming
to Washington working in the White House politics, total amateur,
So he didn't know how things worked. He didn't know that.
You can't say at the end of the call it's
(07:08):
off the record. You have to get that set before
you start talking. That has to be done at the beginning.
So he didn't realize and at the end he said,
this is off the record. Well it's too late. Then
he didn't know that, so and then it got him fired.
He was I think they set the all time record
for shortest employment in the White House. It was like
a couple of days. And as they said, he got
(07:30):
fired before the first direct deposit even got to his bank.
Accainn for getting paid. Hey, Chuck Schumer has become the
most annoying guy in the world. There's this video that's
gone viral from the weekend where he's talked what was
he talking about. He was talking about the brown shooting
(07:52):
or the terrible tragedy in Australia, and he was just
awful about it, so tone deaf and weird. He's just
a cheap, fake, pandering politician. So he wants to address
the terrible tragedy. But listen to this guy, Listen to this.
This is just how bad he's become. Listen.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Of course, I'm going to say a few words about
the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. Okay, so in first,
of course, as I always say, no matter what, go Bills.
They beat the Patriots today, it's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Everybody thought that was just awful. He's supposed to be
addressing this terrible shooting, this massacre in Ustry. Before that,
let's go Bill, he started talking about football game, and
everybody knows this guy's not a football fan. This guy's
never watched a football game in his life. He just
needs Upstate voters, so he's pandering. He has no interest
in the in the Buffalo Bills. And then he had
(08:48):
the nerve to say this yesterday. He's just the phoniest
guy in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Listening to this and this tragedy in Sydney shows the
abject danger of letting anti Semitic propaganda, rhetoric and action
go unchecked.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He's the guy that did that. He's the king of that.
You remember when the Jewish students were being terrorized at
Columbia University physically and mentally, the Jewish students living in
fear being terrorized, Remember the anti Semits were margin all
over the campus. Schumer went and hid, never said a
word in fact, people were yelling and screaming publicly, where's
(09:27):
Chuck Schumer? Why doesn't he do something? He never did,
never did anything the whole time that went on for
six months, the horrors of anti Semitism all over New York,
at NYU, at Columbia, everywhere. Schumer ran and hid, just
didn't do a damned thing about it. So for him
to have the nerve to say this.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And this tragedy in Sydney shows the abject danger of
letting anti Semitic propaganda, rhetoric and action go unchecked.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, Schumer's the king of doing that. Oh but he
did it more than Schumer. So the gall of this
guy is just unbelievable. Oh, Howard Stern contract is up.
It's up tomorrow. That's the end of the Howard Stern contract.
You know, he had five year contracts, one after the
other with Sirius. When he left Terrestrial Radio went over
(10:20):
to Sirius. It was for a massive, crazy amount of money.
What was it hundred million a year? It was one
hundred million a year, I think. And then over the
years his audience dwindled a little. They didn't quite need
him as much anymore, and there was a period of
was it five years ago or ten years they decided
to cut him back from one hundred to like fifty
(10:41):
million a year. So the compromise was, instead of five
days a week, he would do three days a week
and he would get a lot more vacation. So they
cut him to fifty million. The contract's up. They don't
really need him anymore. He had a lot of listeners
in the beginning, but when he went totally woke, crazy
trumped arrangement syndrome, he lost an enormous amount of his
(11:01):
audience and very very very big loss of audience. So
the subscribers are just a fraction of what they were.
So they really don't want to pay them all that
money anymore. So there was a massive pay cut coming
or just get rid of them all together. Well, they've
been in talks and they reached an agreement over the weekend.
Howard Stern will stay. Now he's being very fuzzy about
(11:26):
how he's staying. He just said, signed a new contract
and I've decided to stay another three years. And he
said I was able to win it all, get it all,
get everything I want. And then he kept talking about
free time, how free time is the most valuable thing
he wants his free time. He said, I've worked all
my life. I need me time, free time to do
(11:48):
what I want. Well, it's a three year contract, which
is less than five years. When they cut the length
of the contract down, that's a lack of confidence. Now,
the most insulting thing you can get in broadcasting is
a one year contract. They didn't do that to him,
and he knows that's too insulting, that would be humiliating.
So he got a three year contract. They wouldn't give
(12:10):
him a five year deal. They got a three year deal.
And nobody knows the details. Some are speculating he's going
to work one day a week. That he's taken a
massive pay cut, and so in exchange for that, it'll
be something like one day a week or something like that.
He already in the last contract when he took the
huge pay cut, went to some ridiculous amount of vacation time.
(12:31):
It's like thirty weeks of vacation a year. So this
will probably be like one day, two days a week,
very few weeks a year. They have the right to
all his old shows. He's got a ton of old shows.
I think they have the rights to him for the
next twelve years, so they'll still be a stern channel,
but it'll be very few live shows. The details again,
(12:51):
the fact that he's not explaining the details means they're
not impressive to him. So we'll see. Hey, the healthcare
situation got to do something. Healthcare costs are scheduled to
just explode increase. Everybody'll paying a lot more for healthcare.
It's because of Obamacare turned out not to work. The
(13:13):
whole idea of Obamacare was a disaster for two reasons. One,
if you have the government take over a business, it's
going to cost a lot more money because government is
all bloat, waste, fraud. So if the private sector were
running healthcare, they would streamline it get the cost down.
If you put it all into government running, it cost
go way up. The other problem was the idea of
(13:35):
Obamacare was you'd force or you'd force everybody on it. Now,
older people use a lot of health care. They got
all kinds of serious medical things. It costs a fortune,
so the insurance comes got to pay a fortune for
these older people. But the idea was you get all
the younger people, people in the twenties thirties, They never
(13:55):
get any healthcare. They don't need anything, so they're paying
in and taking nothing out. So all the money they're
paying in will pay for the old people who were
taking money out. Well, that idea of forcing everybody on
it didn't pass. They couldn't get that through, so the
younger people are not forced to be on it. And
younger people twenties, thirties, they don't need health care coverage.
(14:16):
They don't have any big healthcare needs, so they weren't
buying Obamacare. They didn't buy it, they rejected it. So
all you had were the older people taking money out.
You didn't have the younger people putting money in, so
the whole thing fell apart. That's why they're talking about subsidies.
You know, it was called the Affordable Care Act, but
it got so out of control that nobody could afford it,
so you had to have subsidies to pay for it.
(14:38):
Obviously it was affordable, you wouldn't need the subsidies. So
Democrats would like to just keep the subsidies, keep the
taxpayers funding it. But Trump, and he's probably right about this,
you got to redo this whole thing. You got to
get the government out of it, you got to make
it efficient and make it work, so make the cost
not astronomical. Then you got the crazy Democrats, Hakeem Jeffreys.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
All we need are four House Republicans to join us.
They're two hundred and twenty of them. All we need
are four and we can extend the Affordable Care ACCIS
credits in a straightforward fashion.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah. Now, Democrats don't mind big bloated government programs. You know,
Republicans too. Most of these Republicans just as bad as
the Democrats. They like these big bloated government programs. Why
because big bloated government programs. Why that means contracts. To
hand out massive contracts. You hand it out the donors
to people you want to have become donors. You can
(15:38):
make a lot of money for your campaign and for
your packs with these contracts. So that's why they like it. Hey,
I saw Bruce Blakeman yesterday. He got a very good
chance to be the next governor of New York. He's
the perfect choice to be the next governor of New York.
News Max had a great Christmas party yesterday. Bruce Blakeman
came later in the party. Everybody applauding him. They love
(16:03):
this Guy's gonna do very well in the governor's race January,
which is January twelfth, I think it is a few
weeks from now he gets inaugurated again's second term as
county executive. Now, President Trump likes the last Stefanic and
he loves Bruce Blakeman. Been close to Blakeman for years.
He has said all kinds of wonderful things about Elise
(16:24):
Stefanic and was back in her. But now with Blakeman
in the race, what does he do? I don't know.
I don't know. Now they're both great, But Elise Stephonic
is a legislator. She's a great talker. You put her
on those congressional committees. She's a great interrogator. Voy does
she tear into people. But that's her talent. Blakeman, on
the on the other hand, his talents are what you
need in the governor. He is a governor now he's
(16:46):
the governor of Nassau County. He's a manager. He runs things.
That's what it's really what the governor's job is. It's
you know, you don't always want a legislator in that job.
You want a manager. And that's Blakeman. So to me
be the much better choice for that hey, we'll take
some calls. Next eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number eight hundred three two one zero
(17:09):
seven ten
On seventen wr she's more of the marks emosia.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, a lot going on. So Nick Reiner, son of
Rob Reiner, should be in court for his first court
appearance later today. We'll see what happens there. There were
other people at that party the night before the Conan
O'Brien Christmas party. Jane Fonda was there and she tweets
Rob and Michelle Reiner were wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people,
(00:32):
always coming up with ideas for how to make the
world better kinder. Now that brings us back to the
question again. I talked to Rob Reiner a many many times.
He was a warm, fun sweet guy. So why when
it came to the Trump derangement syndrome was he so vicious?
(00:53):
If you look at my Twitter, there's a montage of
his tweets. I mean, they weren't just I don't like Trump,
I disagree with him on this, I don't think he's
right about this, or I hate when Trump does. They
were vicious, the F word, cursing and screaming, calling him
an f in rapist of this, I mean, just the worst,
hate filled And it's not just him, Many of these people,
(01:16):
many Hollywood types that you know and love and they're
lovable and sweet, and then when they get on the
subject of Trump, they become these raging, angry, vicious people.
What is it about Trump that does that? I mean,
we didn't like Joe Biden so much, but you didn't
get no rage about it. You said, you know, he
(01:37):
made fun of Biden bumping into walls and the way

I didn't stay up all night raging about it. We
didn't get into a There wasn't smoke coming out of
your ears, pham coming out of your mouth in a
mad rage talking about him. We just didn't like the guy.
(01:59):
But and again, Rob Reiner is a good example of
a very sweet, warm guy. Why how did he get
himself into such a rage about Trump? It's not just politics,
as I was saying before, he did a lot of
great work in politics. For many years before that. He
was working on programs for kids and children in trouble,
(02:22):
and he worked with the governor of California, not Newsome,

fly to a Sacramento to meet with the governor every

whether he agreed with her or not, but he was
(02:43):
very reasonable guy who talked reasonably. That he'd run the
committee commission meetings. But when it came to Trump a
raging maniac about it. I don't know what that's just
him again. You see this all over. Check out some
of your favorite star on Facebook or Twitter or they're

(03:07):
He just sets them off, and I don't nobody's ever
been able to really explain it now. Uh. Susie Wiles

Susie Summer All. Her father was Pat Summer. All. Susie
Wiles great and she stays behind the scenes, she stays
under the radar. She's not looking for any attention or publicity.
But she did this big interview with Vanity Fair where
she sat down with this big Vanity Fair writer for
like eleven hours and eleven different sessions. I don't know why. Now,
(03:52):
the guy does have a history of covering chiefs of

It's up tomorrow. That's the end of the Howard Stern contract.
You know, he had five year contracts, one after the
other with Sirius. When he left Terrestrial Radio went over
(10:20):
to Sirius. It was for a massive, crazy amount of money.
What was it hundred million a year? It was one
hundred million a year, I think. And then over the
years his audience dwindled a little. They didn't quite need
him as much anymore, and there was a period of
was it five years ago or ten years they decided

in the beginning, but when he went totally woke, crazy
trumped arrangement syndrome, he lost an enormous amount of his
(11:01):
audience and very very very big loss of audience. So
the subscribers are just a fraction of what they were.
So they really don't want to pay them all that
money anymore. So there was a massive pay cut coming
or just get rid of them all together. Well, they've
been in talks and they reached an agreement over the weekend.
Howard Stern will stay. Now he's being very fuzzy about
(11:26):
how he's staying. He just said, signed a new contract
and I've decided to stay another three years. And he
said I was able to win it all, get it all,
get everything I want. And then he kept talking about
free time, how free time is the most valuable thing
he wants his free time. He said, I've worked all
my life. I need me time, free time to do
(11:48):
what I want. Well, it's a three year contract, which
is less than five years. When they cut the length
of the contract down, that's a lack of confidence. Now,
the most insulting thing you can get in broadcasting is
a one year contract. They didn't do that to him,
and he knows that's too insulting, that would be humiliating.
So he got a three year contract. They wouldn't give
(12:10):
him a five year deal. They got a three year deal.
And nobody knows the details. Some are speculating he's going
to work one day a week. That he's taken a
massive pay cut, and so in exchange for that, it'll
be something like one day a week or something like that.
He already in the last contract when he took the
huge pay cut, went to some ridiculous amount of vacation time.
(12:31):
It's like thirty weeks of vacation a year. So this
will probably be like one day, two days a week,
very few weeks a year. They have the right to
all his old shows. He's got a ton of old shows.
I think they have the rights to him for the
next twelve years, so they'll still be a stern channel,
but it'll be very few live shows. The details again,
(12:51):
the fact that he's not explaining the details means they're
not impressive to him. So we'll see. Hey, the healthcare
situation got to do something. Healthcare costs are scheduled to
just explode increase. Everybody'll paying a lot more for healthcare.
It's because of Obamacare turned out not to work. The
(13:13):
whole idea of Obamacare was a disaster for two reasons. One,
if you have the government take over a business, it's
going to cost a lot more money because government is
all bloat, waste, fraud. So if the private sector were
running healthcare, they would streamline it get the cost down.
If you put it all into government running, it cost
go way up. The other problem was the idea of
(13:35):
Obamacare was you'd force or you'd force everybody on it. Now,
older people use a lot of health care. They got
all kinds of serious medical things. It costs a fortune,
so the insurance comes got to pay a fortune for
these older people. But the idea was you get all
the younger people, people in the twenties thirties, They never
(13:55):
get any healthcare. They don't need anything, so they're paying
in and taking nothing out. So all the money they're
paying in will pay for the old people who were
taking money out. Well, that idea of forcing everybody on
it didn't pass. They couldn't get that through, so the
younger people are not forced to be on it. And
younger people twenties, thirties, they don't need health care coverage.
(14:16):
They don't have any big healthcare needs, so they weren't
buying Obamacare. They didn't buy it, they rejected it. So
all you had were the older people taking money out.
You didn't have the younger people putting money in, so
the whole thing fell apart. That's why they're talking about subsidies.
You know, it was called the Affordable Care Act, but
it got so out of control that nobody could afford it,
so you had to have subsidies to pay for it.
(14:38):
Obviously it was affordable, you wouldn't need the subsidies. So
Democrats would like to just keep the subsidies, keep the
taxpayers funding it. But Trump, and he's probably right about this,
you got to redo this whole thing. You got to
get the government out of it, you got to make
it efficient and make it work, so make the cost
not astronomical. Then you got the crazy Democrats, Hakeem Jeffreys.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
All we need are four House Republicans to join us.
They're two hundred and twenty of them. All we need
are four and we can extend the Affordable Care ACCIS
credits in a straightforward fashion.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah. Now, Democrats don't mind big bloated government programs. You know,
Republicans too. Most of these Republicans just as bad as
the Democrats. They like these big bloated government programs. Why
because big bloated government programs. Why that means contracts. To
hand out massive contracts. You hand it out the donors
to people you want to have become donors. You can
(15:38):
make a lot of money for your campaign and for
your packs with these contracts. So that's why they like it. Hey,
I saw Bruce Blakeman yesterday. He got a very good
chance to be the next governor of New York. He's
the perfect choice to be the next governor of New York.
News Max had a great Christmas party yesterday. Bruce Blakeman
came later in the party. Everybody applauding him. They love
(16:03):
this Guy's gonna do very well in the governor's race January,
which is January twelfth, I think it is a few
weeks from now he gets inaugurated again's second term as
county executive. Now, President Trump likes the last Stefanic and
he loves Bruce Blakeman. Been close to Blakeman for years.
He has said all kinds of wonderful things about Elise
(16:24):
Stefanic and was back in her. But now with Blakeman
in the race, what does he do? I don't know.
I don't know. Now they're both great, But Elise Stephonic
is a legislator. She's a great talker. You put her
on those congressional committees. She's a great interrogator. Voy does
she tear into people. But that's her talent. Blakeman, on
the on the other hand, his talents are what you
need in the governor. He is a governor now he's
(16:46):
the governor of Nassau County. He's a manager. He runs things.
That's what it's really what the governor's job is. It's
you know, you don't always want a legislator in that job.
You want a manager. And that's Blakeman. So to me
be the much better choice for that hey, we'll take
some calls. Next eight hundred three two one zero seven
ten is the number eight hundred three two one zero
(17:09):
