You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Dodgers win. What
was the final five to one? So, yeah, they seem
to have they just have. The Dodgers have a lot
of assets. The other teams don't have. I mean, Brewers
are I think really good pitching. They don't have the
firepower though that the Dodgers have. Yeah, No, they put
it up on them five to one. And we've been
(00:30):
seeing Otani struggling the entire playoff, right, He's not even
having this kind of yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, So this is a really good and Otani struggled
last season during the World Series as well, So it's
about good to see the rest of the team really
picking up the slack Taskar Hernandez seven home runs in
the last two postseasons twenty two.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Riis he is hot right now? Listen to Sam? Yeah,
Sam wants to get over on one of those sports shows.
You know what I mean? That's how you really you
you you need to be in the sports conversation.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I started at AM five seventy. I've been with this
company in two decades. Oh wow, I've been doing this
for a while I can. I can handle a little
bit of sports, talk about basketball, and I'm in okay.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, it's you know, it's getting to be that time
of year, so you're going to have a good run
next few months. Mark Thompson here on KFI Am six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app and we
will you know, I talk about politics on my show
every day. I do a lot of politics. It's really
just I mean, I'm exhausted by it, and I love
(01:29):
it and I do it. I've got a show on
YouTube called The Mark Thompson Show. Please subscribe. It's free,
and it's also on the iHeart Radio app. But I
guess that's maybe the reason that I'm not doing a
lot of politics right now. It's just kind of fun
to splash around with the kids here at KFI and
talk about entertainment and other stuff that's going on. Some
of the stuff is adjacent to politics. And I'm talking
(01:50):
about Cheryl Hines, who's married to RFK Junior, right, And
she went on the View and kind of got into
it the View with the ladies of the View. Sam,
this is up, I'll play this in here. Okay, Here
is Cheryl Hines a bit of her appearance with the
(02:10):
crew at the View.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Beeckfully is that your husband is the least qualified Department
of Health and Human Services head.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I like that that was started with the word respectfully.
Respectfully your husband is crap. Never in the history of
this nation have we had someone so unqualified as your husband.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
And I say that respectfully, thankfully, is that your husband
is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services
head that we've had in history.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I didn't. I think that's a very dangerous, dangerous.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Be less qualified than an economist. I feel that has
been his career, studying toxins, studying people's health, fighting for
one guy is using round up for his job.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot
of chaos, a lot of confusion, and I think it's
it's just a very dangerous thing. I say it with
the utmost.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Some of it's good and some of it's not. It
is it. Listen, we all have different views.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Here, boy Joy Behart still on there. Impressive. I don't
watch the View.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, that's a good thing that you don't watch the View.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Do you know how many people in this country think
it's news and get all day in the well, that's
the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I remember seeing a cover story in the New York
Times Sunday magazine about how it's the most trusted source
for a huge percentage of Americans.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
That's scary, honestly.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah. And to be fair to them, I think they
do try to address the news, et cetera. But I mean,
here you go, you've got the wife of the controversial,
controversial Health and Human Services secretary. I was going to say, also,
Joy Beyhart sounds great. I mean, she sounds like she's
still on topic, kind of trying to balance the conversation.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Some of it's good and some of it's not. Listen,
we all have different views.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yes, And when you say, you know, misinformation disinformation, we
could go back to COVID when.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
He connected circumcision.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
May I finish that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
He I'm sorry, but it's straight up he's connected circumcision
to autists.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
If that's the case, then they need immediately without even hesitation.
You know where the highest rates of autism are going
to be. It's going to be Israel. Yeah, because they
also at the same time medically, Because you know, me
with my PhD in human sexuality, I actually did research
on this stuff. The country that has zero percent penile
(04:49):
cancer rates is Israel for the same reason.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But don't they also circumcise in the Muslim community.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yes, yeah, wherever circumcision is directly, the rates are directly
related to penal cancer rates.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That's wild that did not know that. I think here Also,
there is so much sort of adjacent to the whole
autism thing. It became kind of a jihad for them.
So you hear them talking about You heard it with
the announcement that Trump made of the in Cuba. They
don't have til and all because they can't afford it,
(05:25):
and as a result, there's no autism. I mean, that's
completely fictitious. I mean, they have titlent all, they can
afford it, and there is autism. So, I mean, there's
just so much disinformation swirling around this guy Kennedy, and
he seems to just be I don't know, happy in
the gig or something. I don't know why he is
okay with that kind of disinformation. Even the measles and
(05:48):
the measles vaccines, there have been outbreaks now on a
level we haven't seen any decades, I mean, and it's
clearly the result of the lack of the vaccine. The
fact that people have said vaccine hesitancy around measles. Measles
is a deadly illness. Potentially it can really do damage
to these kids. So anyway back to the view.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
COVID, when circumcisions may, may I finish please? When people Faucci,
people were saying, when you get the vaccine, you cannot
transmit COVID, it will stop COVID, and that was disinformation,
missing information.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Still learning about it.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
It was a novel virus and you've never any found it,
right because now the doctors will acknowledge that doctor. They
were censoring Bobby because Bobby said, where's the science to
show us this and there wasn't any, but people attacked
him and said.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
You you're wrong.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
So it's like, let's let's take a step back. I
know that's your opinion, and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, actually, I mean I get that you always have
to go and that's your opinion, and that's okay. But
there are facts and it is true at the beginning
of COVID, and of course COVID is what really set
this country back in so many different ways. But the
conversation around COVID was related to the initial virus. The
COVID vaccine was treating this COVID virus at that moment
(07:11):
that could be treated and apparently, based on what I
was reading at the time, it could be treated effectively
with the vaccine. But the problem is, and the problem
continues to be that the mutations are coming so quickly
that the landscape of what vaccine has needed is changing
alongside those mutations, and it can't possibly keep up with
(07:33):
the mutations. So that became the problem. So this vaccine
that was so you remember at the time when the
vaccine first came out, everybody was trying to, you know,
you get some kind of medical cards. So they were
an essential worker, so they had to get one. I
mean that was kind of people are knocking each other
over to get to the vaccine because the promise was there,
(07:54):
and then the reality set in, and so the promise
became your experience with COVID won't be as bad if
you get the vaccine.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Well, maybe somebody could politely explain the scientific method to
Cheryl Hines and possibly her husband. As new information comes in,
you change your hypothesis, and that's not the same as disinformation.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, exactly, and that's exactly what was happening. As more
was known about the vaccine and was known about the
disposition toward how it was transmitted, the advisories out of
official agencies of government changed. I thought one of the
great things Trump did in Season one of Trump was
(08:37):
that he ramped up that vaccine so quickly. I mean,
he threw government money at that vaccine. Was an operation
warp speed, they called it. I thought that was you
can take a victory lap on that. That was imprisonment.
And then somehow it became fraught with all the bs
around Fauci and then people like RFK Junior, and there
(08:58):
became a cottage industry in question the vaccine, and we
end up where we are now.
Speaker 9 (09:05):
Well, studies have shown that the vaccine has saved tens
of millions of lives, and that's not really debatable.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And Trump advocated for it, and he I think received
it recently.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, he got boosted. So yeah, he got boosted, and
he got the flu vacs.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
What's good for the should be good for the gander.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, there is a weird kind of disconnect, but I
mean I think there's a wink wink with him on
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
So I'm with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
On this all right, Well, you just like him because
he's hot.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
He is hot, and I'm a hippie.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
At Tuesday Night on KFI AM six forty, Mark Thompson
sitting in, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tuesday Night.
I'm KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Mark Thompson's sitting in on this Tuesday Night. Kind of
wild that the the media has pushed back against the
demands of the Pentagon to get everyone to sign on
(09:59):
to the this new press policy. Essentially, the policies as follows,
you can't report anything that we don't give you officially
from the Pentagon. In other words, you can't work sources,
you can't have connections at the Pentagon, you can't talk
to people and use anything in your stories that doesn't
(10:20):
come from the official mouthpiece of the Pentagon. And that's
just not the way journalism is done. And no one
signed that among the higher profile press outlets, I'm just
looking Washington Posts, New York Times and other outlets refusing
to sign the Pentagon's press pledge. Now they said, if
(10:44):
you don't sign it, and the deadline was five pm Eastern,
we will take away your pass to get onto the
premises at the Pentagon. After months of restricted access, the
Pentagon issuing a longer memorand expanding the one page form
(11:04):
it's twenty one pages detailing security rules, following heg Seth's
moves replacing outlets like mainstream outlets with one American news network.
They are the only crew one American news network that
signed this deal, this pledge. Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray,
(11:29):
New York Times Washington bureau chief Richard Stevenson said their
newsroom's not going to sign it, and Washington Posts New
York Times had to say no. Critics saying that the
policy fits a broader pattern of restricting independent coverage, linking
the Trump administration's efforts to imperil First Amendment rights and
(11:53):
ignore the essential freedoms press freedoms that define this country.
So again, most news organizations refusing to sign that pledge
at the Pentagon. Meantime, of course, the countries closed down.
Government has shut down in about a fifth of the
(12:18):
Education Department laid off. They're using this moment to lay
off a lot of people in government and most of
the layoffs at the Education Department are those working in
special ed. There's also funding for low income students, civil
(12:38):
rights enforcement that's all going away. And again, these aren't furloughs.
These are firings. About four hundred and sixty six workers
at the Education Department fired since Friday. It's grim times
in Washington. And the other thing I would just mention
is this looks like it's going to go on for
(12:59):
a while. I was talking to friends in Washington and
they work adjacent to government, if you will. They said
they think it might go on conceivably into the Thanksgiving season.
And Donald Trump is talking about closing programs and shutting
(13:21):
down anything that is quote a Democrat program. He said,
his administration is closing up Democrat programs that we disagree
with and they're never going to open again. So two
weeks into this thing, there are a lot of closures
(13:42):
and a lot of layoffs and not a lot of
conversation going on between Democrats and Republicans. The idea President
Trump is articulated is we're going to hurt Democrats while
insulating Republicans the costs of this crisis. And he said
(14:06):
today that we're going to give you a full list
of Democratic programs slated for cuts by Friday. And you know,
I think Mark was reporting on this that the cuts
extend here into California. I mean medical cuts, psychiatric treatment,
(14:27):
like if you go down a skid row. There is
no real program increasingly to help those people, right, A
lot of that money is federal aid. So as this
federal aid is canceled, and you know, I think it
affects some people's lives more than others. Those that really
(14:50):
need a handout and a hand up, they'll be the
ones most affected and first affected. The problem for both
parties and then for the rest of the country is
how this all shakes out and the politics, the calculus
of the politics is still being done, and both sides
(15:11):
think that they are winning. So that's what leads to
the kind of stalemate that's going to go on potentially
for a long time. Meantime, you've got people that are
forced to work. There are essential workers. I never understood this.
How can you call people who are air traffic controllers
essential workers? Force them to show up but not pay them.
It's outrageous. You're going to force that guy to work?
(15:33):
And I say guide generically, men, women in the Control Tower.
The men and women who show up at TSA, you're
going to force them to go to work, but you're
not going to pay them until the government reopens, and
the government may not reopen until after Thanksgiving. It's outrageous,
it's criminal. I just don't see how they get away
(15:57):
with that. And as long as these governments are going
to become a thing, you got to work that out.
I understand that Donald Trump jackhammered some money out of
the military and kind of rearranged it so that some
military people can get paid, but that's not the only
game in town. You've got people who are essential workers.
(16:19):
Look at the list. It's a lot of people. It
affects a lot of lives, and I think it's unfair
to make them come to work and yet not pay them.
KFI AM six forty Mark Thompson sitting in on Tuesday Night.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaking of the iHeartRadio app, Mark Thompson Here you can
find my show, The Mark Thompson Show on the iHeart
Radio app where a YouTube show a lot of politics
and news. It's a free show you can subscribe for free. Yeah,
boost my subscribers. I got actually took some heat and
(17:02):
I'll tell you about it later. Ron or gild appreciate it.
I took some heat on my own show, my own audience.
But busting back on me, I wouldn't. But one of
the great things I work into iHeart Radio is getting
to see and cross pollinate with a lot of the
people here at iHeartMedia, and this the outpost of iHeart
Radio among them from Kiss FM. I always feel like
(17:25):
if one of the music people comes down here, you know,
it's really great. How about e J.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm playing a long song right now because I have
to come down and see you.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
What happened? This is so great to see you and
just the world of Kiss FM and your world is
just so current. You know. We just had a story
about is it Cia? Yeah. Now she's in the middle
of a divorce of some kind.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
Yes, Apparently her husband wants an astronomical amount of money,
which is die diabolical because if if my memory recall correctly,
they were only married for a short period of time.
But I think he wants what a quarter of a
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I think they have a child though, right, I mean
does that mean well that does change literally the arithmetic
probably does it. Yeah. I think there's child support and
all this stuff that she's going to make a demand for.
I'm I don't know. I guess he's making the demand
of hers, right.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
My thing is like, at this point, just just just go,
I'll raise the child. I don't need any child support
from you. Yeah, let me do my thing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I don't know. I mean anyway, it's interesting because I
feel like that's something that you in that world a
kiss have have a window on because all those people
pass through your world up there.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Yeah, we really do. It's really interesting because a lot
of these stories, you you for feel like you consume
so much at a time that you forget that you
even know the story. So when we were talking about
the story off the air, I was like, oh, yeah,
I remember that, we were talking about that last week.
You know what I'm saying. It's so wild. But I'm
sure it's the same way with you with news stories. Well,
the time gets compressed. You're absolutely you don't you know,
(19:00):
you don't remember.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Like I was just talking to somebody earlier that going,
oh wow, that the government's been closed for two weeks. Yeah,
has it been already? Yeah, it's going to be a
third week now. And I think because we don't feel necessarily,
depending on where we are and what we do, what
the effects of the government closure, some people feel it
right away, Yeah, depending what they do. But so you
kind of have to remind people what the government actually does.
(19:23):
Like air traffic control here in Burbank.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
My friend has a she's a flight attendant, and she
was saying, how it's a it's a longer taxi out,
it's a longer taxi in now, because you know, there's
not a lot of people that necessarily working.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, she was.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
We were talking about that last night. You know, New
York is already the worst to fly into t JFK,
and she was saying, how it's going to be a
longer taxi in and a longer taxi out, and a
lot of times that they're going to spend a lot
of time circling because the airspace is just so congested
over there.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And you have Thanksgiving coming up and it looks as
though this shutdown could continue into Thanksgiving. You think, so
that's well, that's I mean, both sides are pretty dug in,
So why can't.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
We get it together and make sure that these people
are are good? I hate that the that the TSA is working,
or just like anybody's working without a paycheck. Is there
anything that we can do? I just said, is there
anything that we can do whenever we passed by a
TSA agent or or or not even like an air
traffic controller? But what can we do I guess to help.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I mean, we can't do anything as a public because
you know, you know, you can't have a tip jar
for that.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Well, I was gonna say, that's what I was alluding to,
Like can we pass about twenty as we're passing through
the scanner or something like that? Like is that frowned upon?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I think it's not permitted on their end. I'm sure
that they you know, they would appreciate it. But but
I think as a voter or you know, as a constituent,
you can you can contract your congress people and say, hey,
we think if you're going to make them essential workers,
you're going to make them work, then you need to
pay them. They should be compelled to be paid. I
agree on Yeah, So who wants to work for free.
(20:54):
No exact. I mean, so you get what we got
last week, which was sick out people book calling in Shake.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Oh that's what happened at Burbank.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, that's my point. So you're gonna, I think you're
gonna see things break down. Is more, more and more
people are forced to show up and not not compensated
for showing up. Where were you born?
Speaker 8 (21:12):
I would go on f MLA, sorry I can't come
to work. It made me Jersey, Jersey? Can you hear it?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No, I'm trying to pick up. Not really. So when
you were growing up, you were listening to radio from
from New York, probably right.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
I always knew I wanted to do it, and well
I always wanted to do TV too, like like radio
was just like, you know, a backup. But I always
I was so infatuated with the news. We talked about
this earlier. So when I lived in Jersey, we got
the waiver, the coveted waiver that you get from the
the TV companies where I was able to watch Fox eleven,
and that's how I got familiar with your Yeah, and
(21:53):
we got the NBC waiver. So I was like infatuated
with the news.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That waiver that that is talking about is they'll give
you a waiver. It's not easy to get. But now
some time ago, when you have satellite, they'll give you
the feed from both coasts, so not just your coast.
You'll be able to watch West coast television.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
So I was watching you and Christine and John John Beer, Yeah,
and Fox. That's really rolling up, isn't it wild?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It really is. Yeah. Who are the radio personalities in
New York that you listening?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Of course Elfics, Duran, Wendy williams Andy Martinez.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Yeah, I grew up listening to them.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, and we're talking to we're talking to from Kiss FM,
and we're going to get another minute of the show.
But what has happened now is I think radio and
television has kind of squished and sloshed together because I
see more and more content from you, even which it
just feels like TV.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
You know What's interesting, All every interview that we do
is recorded like video wise, so it's not just you
know how back in the day it would just be
on you know, you would hear on the air once
and you won't hear it anymore. But now you can
see it and watch it, and rewatch it and on
demand and so it's it's definitely intertwined, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I just think that it's all now just media,
so it's all different. Go you've got a record running out,
So do they call them records anymore?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
No, just a Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I love you you jam Baby Kiss FM. Love it
right here on the iHeartRadio app. Loving it all right.
That was a fun, fun drop in. We will have
more when we come back. Mark Thompson hanging out on
Tuesday night. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. It is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
(23:35):
on the iHeartRadio app. Watching the I've not watched any
Dancing with the Stars, but they've got it on a
monitor here and I'm seeing these various stars dancing. Seems
like they the dudes take their shirts off a lot
on this show. Never really watched it before I get it.
(24:01):
They've got the bronzer on and there's there's a lot
of tears and you know the idea behind Dancing with
the Stars. Of course, in the audience, and I see,
you know, some famous people in the audience, because famous
people are showing up to support other famous people and
the ideas to kind of it's like running for office.
You're building a coalition of people around you who will
(24:25):
get on social media and ask their people followers to
vote for you. In Dancing with the Stars, that's what
the show is, and it seems like, I want to say,
every single celebrity is in tears. So they do their
(24:45):
routine and then the judges. And it used to be
the guy who I liked was that Lend guy. I
did watch actually at the beginning of the show. Actually
my friend was executive producer of the show the very beginning,
so I was watching it a little bit. Len. He
was the British dude, very proper. Weren't you on the show?
NICKI weren't you? You had something to do with Dance
(25:06):
Went the Stars.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I worked behind the scene.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes, behind the scenes, of course, but Len was sort
of the the stayed British fellow and I I thought,
but remember the two step is more of a left
foot right foot, and I thought you had it for
a time, and then.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
He was that it was a real Londoner a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
In he yeah, And then you had Bruno and Bruno
is still on the show. I think Bruno's on a
bunch of shows now because he's got the I love, indeed,
I just love. And Carrie Anne, who I know from
years and years and years ago worked on a show together.
(25:46):
She's there too, and so as these judges. And then
is it Derek who used to be on the show.
He's now one of us. So there are four judges.
And as they're speaking to these people again, I don't
know who this person is right now being ushered up,
but they're in two. They're just being spoken to by
the I don't know. The show misses me, but you know, again,
(26:06):
I'm not the target audience. But all the emotion that's
wrapped up in Dancing with the Stars does spill over
onto everybody who has anything to do with this show.
And Ilaria Baldwin was one of the Alec Baldwin's wife,
and I guess she was eliminated and she feels that
(26:28):
she was bullied off the show. And so I have
a little bit of Ilaria as she speaks to the media,
which is the thing that you do once you get
bullied off Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Here's a big problem online right now. It's a big problem.
We don't see each other. We make enemies out of
each other. And I'm talking about my fellow woman, women's
in humanity to women, and we need to stop pilati.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
I then went on to use World Mental Health Day
to address the quote very coordinated strategic bullying in an
October eleventh Instagram video.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
I would be remiss if I didn't address the elephant
in the room, which is that there was some bullying
going on aimed at me over the past few weeks.
One of the most common things that people say to
me when they meet me, when they actually meet me,
is how surprised they are by negativity that I receive,
(27:33):
because in reality, I am none of the negative things
that some people say.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So she is Alec Baldwin's wife. I think they have
seven children, isn't that right? NICKI, you know about this
this kind of thing. Seven kids, there's.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
A lot, they got a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
That would be the first thing I would ask about
if I met her.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
It breaks my heart. Some of the people who have
harassed me for years and misrepresented and outright have lied
about me. I know that they'll only be satisfied when
I'm gone. It seems that nothing I can say or
do will be right in their eyes. I am always
getting everything wrong and I'm too much and not enough.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
But I have to say this, I'm surprised with seven kids,
you could be so jacked up on yourself.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
She's a bit of a crazy one.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Do you remember the whole how she faked that she
was Spanish but she's actually from Massachusetts. She faked her
Spanish accent for years.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, even the subtle Spanish accent that she has going right.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Now, Yes, Massachusetts right. She was called the cucumber cucumba.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
How do the cucumber?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
How how you say cucumber? She's from like somewhere, not
even in Boston.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Ye, She's from suburban Massachusetts somewhere. But it's just remarkable.
But you're right, I mean, that's sort of that. That
was one drama and then it's just astounding to be
a mother of seven and could have anything on her
mind but her family, and she seems quite self absorbed.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
By the negativity. The forty one year old is appreciative
to all of her supporters who helped her get cast
on the show.
Speaker 12 (29:13):
I'm so grateful for this experience that I had on
Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I never thought I would dance again.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
And I have all of you to think for writing
into the show and making this wild experience happened. And
I'm so blessed that I got to share this with
my family. I loved everybody. I'm there, and I'm really
excited to cheer on my cast mate.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
No, she tries to stick the landing there with some positivity,
but it just seems to me that I don't know.
I mean, I don't want to begrudge anybody anything, like
you know, maybe she wants she was a dancer, she
gave it up. Whatever, she lives in the shadow of Alec.
Maybe that's tough, But it just seems seven kids is
a real commitment. I mean, when you have seven children,
(29:56):
you want a big family. But you'd think, as a
mother who wants a big family, you want to be
connected to that family more than social media and Dancing
with the Stars reaction. But you know, look, anyway she's
voted off, who's still there? I didn't recognize any of
these dancing any of these stars who are dancing. Robert Irwin,
(30:18):
Oh yeah, Robert Erwin, who is Steve Irwin's son? Yes, yeah,
anybody else that we know oh Andy Richter, I saw
him on there tonight. Was he not wearing a shirt?
He was wearing a pink shirt, which is just sort
of like a pink shiny shirt. But no, he was.
(30:39):
He was shirted the whole time. But there were some uh,
I mean, truly, I'm not exaggering. I want to say
three different guys who just ripped their shirts open and
you're now dealing with. Yeah, I mean, and they look great.
I mean they're the dancing there, the professional dancers.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Was Corey Feldman voted off already?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I didn't see Corey Feldman. Uh.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
If Andy Richter tears off his shirt, he wins game over,
we win America.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
America wins U k f I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, KFI A M six forty
on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Dodgers win. What
was the final five to one? So, yeah, they seem
to have they just have. The Dodgers have a lot
of assets. The other teams don't have. I mean, Brewers
are I think really good pitching. They don't have the
firepower though that the Dodgers have. Yeah, No, they put
it up on them five to one. And we've been
(00:30):
seeing Otani struggling the entire playoff, right, He's not even
having this kind of yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, So this is a really good and Otani struggled
last season during the World Series as well, So it's
about good to see the rest of the team really
picking up the slack Taskar Hernandez seven home runs in
the last two postseasons twenty two.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Riis he is hot right now? Listen to Sam? Yeah,
Sam wants to get over on one of those sports shows.
You know what I mean? That's how you really you
you you need to be in the sports conversation.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I started at AM five seventy. I've been with this
company in two decades. Oh wow, I've been doing this
for a while I can. I can handle a little
bit of sports, talk about basketball, and I'm in okay.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, it's you know, it's getting to be that time
of year, so you're going to have a good run
next few months. Mark Thompson here on KFI Am six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app and we
will you know, I talk about politics on my show
every day. I do a lot of politics. It's really
just I mean, I'm exhausted by it, and I love
(01:29):
it and I do it. I've got a show on
YouTube called The Mark Thompson Show. Please subscribe. It's free,
and it's also on the iHeart Radio app. But I
guess that's maybe the reason that I'm not doing a
lot of politics right now. It's just kind of fun
to splash around with the kids here at KFI and
talk about entertainment and other stuff that's going on. Some
of the stuff is adjacent to politics. And I'm talking
(01:50):
about Cheryl Hines, who's married to RFK Junior, right, And
she went on the View and kind of got into
it the View with the ladies of the View. Sam,
this is up, I'll play this in here. Okay, Here
is Cheryl Hines a bit of her appearance with the
(02:10):
crew at the View.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Beeckfully is that your husband is the least qualified Department
of Health and Human Services head.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I like that that was started with the word respectfully.
Respectfully your husband is crap. Never in the history of
this nation have we had someone so unqualified as your husband.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
And I say that respectfully, thankfully, is that your husband
is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services
head that we've had in history.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I didn't. I think that's a very dangerous, dangerous.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Be less qualified than an economist. I feel that has
been his career, studying toxins, studying people's health, fighting for
one guy is using round up for his job.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot
of chaos, a lot of confusion, and I think it's
it's just a very dangerous thing. I say it with
the utmost.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Some of it's good and some of it's not. It
is it. Listen, we all have different views.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Here, boy Joy Behart still on there. Impressive. I don't
watch the View.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, that's a good thing that you don't watch the View.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Do you know how many people in this country think
it's news and get all day in the well, that's
the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I remember seeing a cover story in the New York
Times Sunday magazine about how it's the most trusted source
for a huge percentage of Americans.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
That's scary, honestly.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah. And to be fair to them, I think they
do try to address the news, et cetera. But I mean,
here you go, you've got the wife of the controversial,
controversial Health and Human Services secretary. I was going to say, also,
Joy Beyhart sounds great. I mean, she sounds like she's
still on topic, kind of trying to balance the conversation.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Some of it's good and some of it's not. Listen,
we all have different views.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yes, And when you say, you know, misinformation disinformation, we
could go back to COVID when.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
He connected circumcision.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
May I finish that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
He I'm sorry, but it's straight up he's connected circumcision
to autists.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
If that's the case, then they need immediately without even hesitation.
You know where the highest rates of autism are going
to be. It's going to be Israel. Yeah, because they
also at the same time medically, Because you know, me
with my PhD in human sexuality, I actually did research
on this stuff. The country that has zero percent penile
(04:49):
cancer rates is Israel for the same reason.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But don't they also circumcise in the Muslim community.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yes, yeah, wherever circumcision is directly, the rates are directly
related to penal cancer rates.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That's wild that did not know that. I think here Also,
there is so much sort of adjacent to the whole
autism thing. It became kind of a jihad for them.
So you hear them talking about You heard it with
the announcement that Trump made of the in Cuba. They
don't have til and all because they can't afford it,
(05:25):
and as a result, there's no autism. I mean, that's
completely fictitious. I mean, they have titlent all, they can
afford it, and there is autism. So, I mean, there's
just so much disinformation swirling around this guy Kennedy, and
he seems to just be I don't know, happy in
the gig or something. I don't know why he is
okay with that kind of disinformation. Even the measles and
(05:48):
the measles vaccines, there have been outbreaks now on a
level we haven't seen any decades, I mean, and it's
clearly the result of the lack of the vaccine. The
fact that people have said vaccine hesitancy around measles. Measles
is a deadly illness. Potentially it can really do damage
to these kids. So anyway back to the view.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
COVID, when circumcisions may, may I finish please? When people Faucci,
people were saying, when you get the vaccine, you cannot
transmit COVID, it will stop COVID, and that was disinformation,
missing information.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Still learning about it.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
It was a novel virus and you've never any found it,
right because now the doctors will acknowledge that doctor. They
were censoring Bobby because Bobby said, where's the science to
show us this and there wasn't any, but people attacked
him and said.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
You you're wrong.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
So it's like, let's let's take a step back. I
know that's your opinion, and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, actually, I mean I get that you always have
to go and that's your opinion, and that's okay. But
there are facts and it is true at the beginning
of COVID, and of course COVID is what really set
this country back in so many different ways. But the
conversation around COVID was related to the initial virus. The
COVID vaccine was treating this COVID virus at that moment
(07:11):
that could be treated and apparently, based on what I
was reading at the time, it could be treated effectively
with the vaccine. But the problem is, and the problem
continues to be that the mutations are coming so quickly
that the landscape of what vaccine has needed is changing
alongside those mutations, and it can't possibly keep up with
(07:33):
the mutations. So that became the problem. So this vaccine
that was so you remember at the time when the
vaccine first came out, everybody was trying to, you know,
you get some kind of medical cards. So they were
an essential worker, so they had to get one. I
mean that was kind of people are knocking each other
over to get to the vaccine because the promise was there,
(07:54):
and then the reality set in, and so the promise
became your experience with COVID won't be as bad if
you get the vaccine.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Well, maybe somebody could politely explain the scientific method to
Cheryl Hines and possibly her husband. As new information comes in,
you change your hypothesis, and that's not the same as disinformation.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes, exactly, and that's exactly what was happening. As more
was known about the vaccine and was known about the
disposition toward how it was transmitted, the advisories out of
official agencies of government changed. I thought one of the
great things Trump did in Season one of Trump was
(08:37):
that he ramped up that vaccine so quickly. I mean,
he threw government money at that vaccine. Was an operation
warp speed, they called it. I thought that was you
can take a victory lap on that. That was imprisonment.
And then somehow it became fraught with all the bs
around Fauci and then people like RFK Junior, and there
(08:58):
became a cottage industry in question the vaccine, and we
end up where we are now.
Speaker 9 (09:05):
Well, studies have shown that the vaccine has saved tens
of millions of lives, and that's not really debatable.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And Trump advocated for it, and he I think received
it recently.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, he got boosted. So yeah, he got boosted, and
he got the flu vacs.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
What's good for the should be good for the gander.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, there is a weird kind of disconnect, but I
mean I think there's a wink wink with him on
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
So I'm with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
On this all right, Well, you just like him because
he's hot.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
He is hot, and I'm a hippie.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
At Tuesday Night on KFI AM six forty, Mark Thompson
sitting in, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tuesday Night.
I'm KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Mark Thompson's sitting in on this Tuesday Night. Kind of
wild that the the media has pushed back against the
demands of the Pentagon to get everyone to sign on
(09:59):
to the this new press policy. Essentially, the policies as follows,
you can't report anything that we don't give you officially
from the Pentagon. In other words, you can't work sources,
you can't have connections at the Pentagon, you can't talk
to people and use anything in your stories that doesn't
(10:20):
come from the official mouthpiece of the Pentagon. And that's
just not the way journalism is done. And no one
signed that among the higher profile press outlets, I'm just
looking Washington Posts, New York Times and other outlets refusing
to sign the Pentagon's press pledge. Now they said, if
(10:44):
you don't sign it, and the deadline was five pm Eastern,
we will take away your pass to get onto the
premises at the Pentagon. After months of restricted access, the
Pentagon issuing a longer memorand expanding the one page form
(11:04):
it's twenty one pages detailing security rules, following heg Seth's
moves replacing outlets like mainstream outlets with one American news network.
They are the only crew one American news network that
signed this deal, this pledge. Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray,
(11:29):
New York Times Washington bureau chief Richard Stevenson said their
newsroom's not going to sign it, and Washington Posts New
York Times had to say no. Critics saying that the
policy fits a broader pattern of restricting independent coverage, linking
the Trump administration's efforts to imperil First Amendment rights and
(11:53):
ignore the essential freedoms press freedoms that define this country.
So again, most news organizations refusing to sign that pledge
at the Pentagon. Meantime, of course, the countries closed down.
Government has shut down in about a fifth of the
(12:18):
Education Department laid off. They're using this moment to lay
off a lot of people in government and most of
the layoffs at the Education Department are those working in
special ed. There's also funding for low income students, civil
(12:38):
rights enforcement that's all going away. And again, these aren't furloughs.
These are firings. About four hundred and sixty six workers
at the Education Department fired since Friday. It's grim times
in Washington. And the other thing I would just mention
is this looks like it's going to go on for
(12:59):
a while. I was talking to friends in Washington and
they work adjacent to government, if you will. They said
they think it might go on conceivably into the Thanksgiving season.
And Donald Trump is talking about closing programs and shutting
(13:21):
down anything that is quote a Democrat program. He said,
his administration is closing up Democrat programs that we disagree
with and they're never going to open again. So two
weeks into this thing, there are a lot of closures
(13:42):
and a lot of layoffs and not a lot of
conversation going on between Democrats and Republicans. The idea President
Trump is articulated is we're going to hurt Democrats while
insulating Republicans the costs of this crisis. And he said
(14:06):
today that we're going to give you a full list
of Democratic programs slated for cuts by Friday. And you know,
I think Mark was reporting on this that the cuts
extend here into California. I mean medical cuts, psychiatric treatment,
(14:27):
like if you go down a skid row. There is
no real program increasingly to help those people, right, A
lot of that money is federal aid. So as this
federal aid is canceled, and you know, I think it
affects some people's lives more than others. Those that really
(14:50):
need a handout and a hand up, they'll be the
ones most affected and first affected. The problem for both
parties and then for the rest of the country is
how this all shakes out and the politics, the calculus
of the politics is still being done, and both sides
(15:11):
think that they are winning. So that's what leads to
the kind of stalemate that's going to go on potentially
for a long time. Meantime, you've got people that are
forced to work. There are essential workers. I never understood this.
How can you call people who are air traffic controllers
essential workers? Force them to show up but not pay them.
It's outrageous. You're going to force that guy to work?
(15:33):
And I say guide generically, men, women in the Control Tower.
The men and women who show up at TSA, you're
going to force them to go to work, but you're
not going to pay them until the government reopens, and
the government may not reopen until after Thanksgiving. It's outrageous,
it's criminal. I just don't see how they get away
(15:57):
with that. And as long as these governments are going
to become a thing, you got to work that out.
I understand that Donald Trump jackhammered some money out of
the military and kind of rearranged it so that some
military people can get paid, but that's not the only
game in town. You've got people who are essential workers.
(16:19):
Look at the list. It's a lot of people. It
affects a lot of lives, and I think it's unfair
to make them come to work and yet not pay them.
KFI AM six forty Mark Thompson sitting in on Tuesday Night.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaking of the iHeartRadio app, Mark Thompson Here you can
find my show, The Mark Thompson Show on the iHeart
Radio app where a YouTube show a lot of politics
and news. It's a free show you can subscribe for free. Yeah,
boost my subscribers. I got actually took some heat and
(17:02):
I'll tell you about it later. Ron or gild appreciate it.
I took some heat on my own show, my own audience.
But busting back on me, I wouldn't. But one of
the great things I work into iHeart Radio is getting
to see and cross pollinate with a lot of the
people here at iHeartMedia, and this the outpost of iHeart
Radio among them from Kiss FM. I always feel like
(17:25):
if one of the music people comes down here, you know,
it's really great. How about e J.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm playing a long song right now because I have
to come down and see you.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
What happened? This is so great to see you and
just the world of Kiss FM and your world is
just so current. You know. We just had a story
about is it Cia? Yeah. Now she's in the middle
of a divorce of some kind.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
Yes, Apparently her husband wants an astronomical amount of money,
which is die diabolical because if if my memory recall correctly,
they were only married for a short period of time.
But I think he wants what a quarter of a
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I think they have a child though, right, I mean
does that mean well that does change literally the arithmetic
probably does it. Yeah. I think there's child support and
all this stuff that she's going to make a demand for.
I'm I don't know. I guess he's making the demand
of hers, right.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
My thing is like, at this point, just just just go,
I'll raise the child. I don't need any child support
from you. Yeah, let me do my thing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I don't know. I mean anyway, it's interesting because I
feel like that's something that you in that world a
kiss have have a window on because all those people
pass through your world up there.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Yeah, we really do. It's really interesting because a lot
of these stories, you you for feel like you consume
so much at a time that you forget that you
even know the story. So when we were talking about
the story off the air, I was like, oh, yeah,
I remember that, we were talking about that last week.
You know what I'm saying. It's so wild. But I'm
sure it's the same way with you with news stories. Well,
the time gets compressed. You're absolutely you don't you know,
(19:00):
you don't remember.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Like I was just talking to somebody earlier that going,
oh wow, that the government's been closed for two weeks. Yeah,
has it been already? Yeah, it's going to be a
third week now. And I think because we don't feel necessarily,
depending on where we are and what we do, what
the effects of the government closure, some people feel it
right away, Yeah, depending what they do. But so you
kind of have to remind people what the government actually does.
(19:23):
Like air traffic control here in Burbank.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
My friend has a she's a flight attendant, and she
was saying, how it's a it's a longer taxi out,
it's a longer taxi in now, because you know, there's
not a lot of people that necessarily working.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, she was.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
We were talking about that last night. You know, New
York is already the worst to fly into t JFK,
and she was saying, how it's going to be a
longer taxi in and a longer taxi out, and a
lot of times that they're going to spend a lot
of time circling because the airspace is just so congested
over there.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And you have Thanksgiving coming up and it looks as
though this shutdown could continue into Thanksgiving. You think, so
that's well, that's I mean, both sides are pretty dug in,
So why can't.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
We get it together and make sure that these people
are are good? I hate that the that the TSA is working,
or just like anybody's working without a paycheck. Is there
anything that we can do? I just said, is there
anything that we can do whenever we passed by a
TSA agent or or or not even like an air
traffic controller? But what can we do I guess to help.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I mean, we can't do anything as a public because
you know, you know, you can't have a tip jar
for that.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Well, I was gonna say, that's what I was alluding to,
Like can we pass about twenty as we're passing through
the scanner or something like that? Like is that frowned upon?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I think it's not permitted on their end. I'm sure
that they you know, they would appreciate it. But but
I think as a voter or you know, as a constituent,
you can you can contract your congress people and say, hey,
we think if you're going to make them essential workers,
you're going to make them work, then you need to
pay them. They should be compelled to be paid. I
agree on Yeah, So who wants to work for free.
(20:54):
No exact. I mean, so you get what we got
last week, which was sick out people book calling in Shake.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Oh that's what happened at Burbank.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, that's my point. So you're gonna, I think you're
gonna see things break down. Is more, more and more
people are forced to show up and not not compensated
for showing up. Where were you born?
Speaker 8 (21:12):
I would go on f MLA, sorry I can't come
to work. It made me Jersey, Jersey? Can you hear it?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
No, I'm trying to pick up. Not really. So when
you were growing up, you were listening to radio from
from New York, probably right.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
I always knew I wanted to do it, and well
I always wanted to do TV too, like like radio
was just like, you know, a backup. But I always
I was so infatuated with the news. We talked about
this earlier. So when I lived in Jersey, we got
the waiver, the coveted waiver that you get from the
the TV companies where I was able to watch Fox eleven,
and that's how I got familiar with your Yeah, and
(21:53):
we got the NBC waiver. So I was like infatuated
with the news.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That waiver that that is talking about is they'll give
you a waiver. It's not easy to get. But now
some time ago, when you have satellite, they'll give you
the feed from both coasts, so not just your coast.
You'll be able to watch West coast television.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
So I was watching you and Christine and John John Beer, Yeah,
and Fox. That's really rolling up, isn't it wild?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It really is. Yeah. Who are the radio personalities in
New York that you listening?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Of course Elfics, Duran, Wendy williams Andy Martinez.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Yeah, I grew up listening to them.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, and we're talking to we're talking to from Kiss FM,
and we're going to get another minute of the show.
But what has happened now is I think radio and
television has kind of squished and sloshed together because I
see more and more content from you, even which it
just feels like TV.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
You know What's interesting, All every interview that we do
is recorded like video wise, so it's not just you
know how back in the day it would just be
on you know, you would hear on the air once
and you won't hear it anymore. But now you can
see it and watch it, and rewatch it and on
demand and so it's it's definitely intertwined, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I just think that it's all now just media,
so it's all different. Go you've got a record running out,
So do they call them records anymore?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
No, just a Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I love you you jam Baby Kiss FM. Love it
right here on the iHeartRadio app. Loving it all right.
That was a fun, fun drop in. We will have
more when we come back. Mark Thompson hanging out on
Tuesday night. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. It is KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
(23:35):
on the iHeartRadio app. Watching the I've not watched any
Dancing with the Stars, but they've got it on a
monitor here and I'm seeing these various stars dancing. Seems
like they the dudes take their shirts off a lot
on this show. Never really watched it before I get it.
(24:01):
They've got the bronzer on and there's there's a lot
of tears and you know the idea behind Dancing with
the Stars. Of course, in the audience, and I see,
you know, some famous people in the audience, because famous
people are showing up to support other famous people and
the ideas to kind of it's like running for office.
You're building a coalition of people around you who will
(24:25):
get on social media and ask their people followers to
vote for you. In Dancing with the Stars, that's what
the show is, and it seems like, I want to say,
every single celebrity is in tears. So they do their
(24:45):
routine and then the judges. And it used to be
the guy who I liked was that Lend guy. I
did watch actually at the beginning of the show. Actually
my friend was executive producer of the show the very beginning,
so I was watching it a little bit. Len. He
was the British dude, very proper. Weren't you on the show?
NICKI weren't you? You had something to do with Dance
(25:06):
Went the Stars.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I worked behind the scene.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes, behind the scenes, of course, but Len was sort
of the the stayed British fellow and I I thought,
but remember the two step is more of a left
foot right foot, and I thought you had it for
a time, and then.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
He was that it was a real Londoner a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
In he yeah, And then you had Bruno and Bruno
is still on the show. I think Bruno's on a
bunch of shows now because he's got the I love, indeed,
I just love. And Carrie Anne, who I know from
years and years and years ago worked on a show together.
(25:46):
She's there too, and so as these judges. And then
is it Derek who used to be on the show.
He's now one of us. So there are four judges.
And as they're speaking to these people again, I don't
know who this person is right now being ushered up,
but they're in two. They're just being spoken to by
the I don't know. The show misses me, but you know, again,
(26:06):
I'm not the target audience. But all the emotion that's
wrapped up in Dancing with the Stars does spill over
onto everybody who has anything to do with this show.
And Ilaria Baldwin was one of the Alec Baldwin's wife,
and I guess she was eliminated and she feels that
(26:28):
she was bullied off the show. And so I have
a little bit of Ilaria as she speaks to the media,
which is the thing that you do once you get
bullied off Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Here's a big problem online right now. It's a big problem.
We don't see each other. We make enemies out of
each other. And I'm talking about my fellow woman, women's
in humanity to women, and we need to stop pilati.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
I then went on to use World Mental Health Day
to address the quote very coordinated strategic bullying in an
October eleventh Instagram video.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
I would be remiss if I didn't address the elephant
in the room, which is that there was some bullying
going on aimed at me over the past few weeks.
One of the most common things that people say to
me when they meet me, when they actually meet me,
is how surprised they are by negativity that I receive,
(27:33):
because in reality, I am none of the negative things
that some people say.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So she is Alec Baldwin's wife. I think they have
seven children, isn't that right? NICKI, you know about this
this kind of thing. Seven kids, there's.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
A lot, they got a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
That would be the first thing I would ask about
if I met her.
Speaker 12 (27:52):
It breaks my heart. Some of the people who have
harassed me for years and misrepresented and outright have lied
about me. I know that they'll only be satisfied when
I'm gone. It seems that nothing I can say or
do will be right in their eyes. I am always
getting everything wrong and I'm too much and not enough.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
But I have to say this, I'm surprised with seven kids,
you could be so jacked up on yourself.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
She's a bit of a crazy one.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Do you remember the whole how she faked that she
was Spanish but she's actually from Massachusetts. She faked her
Spanish accent for years.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, even the subtle Spanish accent that she has going right.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Now, Yes, Massachusetts right. She was called the cucumber cucumba.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
How do the cucumber?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
How how you say cucumber? She's from like somewhere, not
even in Boston.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Ye, She's from suburban Massachusetts somewhere. But it's just remarkable.
But you're right, I mean, that's sort of that. That
was one drama and then it's just astounding to be
a mother of seven and could have anything on her
mind but her family, and she seems quite self absorbed.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
By the negativity. The forty one year old is appreciative
to all of her supporters who helped her get cast
on the show.
Speaker 12 (29:13):
I'm so grateful for this experience that I had on
Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I never thought I would dance again.
Speaker 12 (29:19):
And I have all of you to think for writing
into the show and making this wild experience happened. And
I'm so blessed that I got to share this with
my family. I loved everybody. I'm there, and I'm really
excited to cheer on my cast mate.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
No, she tries to stick the landing there with some positivity,
but it just seems to me that I don't know.
I mean, I don't want to begrudge anybody anything, like
you know, maybe she wants she was a dancer, she
gave it up. Whatever, she lives in the shadow of Alec.
Maybe that's tough, But it just seems seven kids is
a real commitment. I mean, when you have seven children,
(29:56):
you want a big family. But you'd think, as a
mother who wants a big family, you want to be
connected to that family more than social media and Dancing
with the Stars reaction. But you know, look, anyway she's
voted off, who's still there? I didn't recognize any of
these dancing any of these stars who are dancing. Robert Irwin,
(30:18):
Oh yeah, Robert Erwin, who is Steve Irwin's son? Yes, yeah,
anybody else that we know oh Andy Richter, I saw
him on there tonight. Was he not wearing a shirt?
He was wearing a pink shirt, which is just sort
of like a pink shiny shirt. But no, he was.
(30:39):
He was shirted the whole time. But there were some uh,
I mean, truly, I'm not exaggering. I want to say
three different guys who just ripped their shirts open and
you're now dealing with. Yeah, I mean, and they look great.
I mean they're the dancing there, the professional dancers.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Was Corey Feldman voted off already?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I didn't see Corey Feldman. Uh.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
If Andy Richter tears off his shirt, he wins game over,
we win America.
