Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm Brian Shook. The first cabinet meeting of President Trump's
second term is in the books. Topics included the Russia
Ukraine War and tariffs against China. Trump said the European
Union will also be hit with tariffs.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
European Union was formed in order to screw the United States.
That's the purpose of it, and they've done a good
job of it. But now I'm president.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Ukrainian President Zelensky is reportedly coming to Washington, DC on
Friday to sign off on a minerals deal. Zelensky pushed
back on President Trump's demand for five hundred billion dollars
in rare earth minerals, saying the US provided Ukraine with
one hundred billion dollars in aid. White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levitt said the deal will provide critical resources for
(00:51):
the US and create an economic partnership with Ukraine. The
Vatican says Pope Francis is showing some slight improvement and
update from the whole. Press Office says that the mild
kidney insufficiency the Pope had experienced has subsided. New York
City Mayor Eric Adams Lawyer is filing a motion to
dismiss corruption charges while he eyes a second term. Natalie

migliori reports.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Despite the charges, the mayor continues to double down on
previous beliefs that he will remain in office.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
He may be more confident than in some New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Matt Adams is horrible.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
He got so many people against him, and I personally
don't see nothing he'd done for New York people. It's
time for a new regime.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It comes after leaked documents revealed former US Attorney danielsa
Soon accused Adams of offering to aid the Trump Administration's
deportation efforts in exchange for the Department of Justice dismissing
his charges. Adams lawyer Alex Buro called the claim wildly
inflammatory and prosecutorial misconduct, adding the most appropriate recourse is
to throw out the case.

k c a A, The Uncommon Sense Democrats with your
host Eric Bauman, a show about politics and contemporary issues.
And now here's Eric Bauman.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Oh yeah, I've heard that. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
And after all this convoluted the wedding weather that we've
been having, we have pretty lovely weather today. One understand
(06:01):
is we're gonna have excuse me, you'll have to forgive me.
I have the hit coughs, h please forgive me. Will
(06:27):
have beautiful weather for another day and then the rain
and loudest lessons start again. I think tomorrow. I'm not
if I've got it right. I don't know. I was
very lucky. I got h an article from one of
(06:55):
my Jewish news letters yesterday and we had delicious corn
dogs the last night or the night before, and we
had that with homemade Conicious, And I gotta tell you something,
(07:19):
I don't know if you're a big fan of either
conicious or corn dogs. Pointed, we have a delicious supper
and having that with some salads made for a wonderful meal.
(07:42):
I'm not sure if my guests today, John Baumann, the
president of Social Security Works, pack if he likes any
of that stuff, because us, honestly is only half of
a Jew. I think, I think when it comes to
(08:08):
some of this stuff, I'm not sure what he really likes.
We've covered weather, corn dogs. Where are we going? Where
are we going next? Please? No, I told you I
don't like locks or Harry that much. But we'll cover
condishes or corn dogs. No, we didn't. We didn't discover
(08:34):
any of that. Man, I cover any of that, I
should say.
Speaker 11 (08:39):
Yeah, alreadyence is mystified right now as to where we're
going to go next with this. But you know, this way,
it's kind of like Trump's cabinet meeting that he had today.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Yeah, what what was that today? Or yesterday?
Speaker 11 (08:58):
I think it was this morning. I think it was
this morning. Every day every day in this misery that
we're in, seems like a year or.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You know, Oh, I can't follow his nonsense. And by
the way, for those of you who don't know what's
going on here, person of all, my guest is John Bowman,
who's the president of Social Security Works the past.
Speaker 11 (09:33):
Nancy Ultiman's the president of Social Security Works. And you know,
Nancy founded Social Security. She knows more about Social Security
than anybody in America. She's written four books and all that.
And I mean, look, I'm here on your show this week, Nancy,
or last week. Really, Nancy was quoted in the New
(09:55):
York Times, the Washington Post sixty minutes she was. She
was on every network, you know, because of because of
the Trump you know, administration shenanigans with regard to UH
Social Security. And now they're run to medicaid. You know,
(10:16):
Medicaid is the is the topic of the moment, well.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
For for US, Russian and then please forgive me, I'm
all choked up. No One in California we call medicaid medical,
(10:41):
and nationally it's medicaid. As you know, yes, I certainly know.
I've known infen sir. I hate to say it, but
for more than thirty years I've learned. Anyway, we we're
(11:12):
having a lot of issues with what these and only
because we're talking about these michigans. They need to save.
They've been ordered to save a billion dollars. I want
(11:33):
to repeat that one billion with a B.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
A Trivia trillion at of medicaid. It's well it's eight
hundred and eighty billion, so eight hundred and eighty billion
is almost a trivion, and it's it's all of medicaid.
So they've been ordered. They took a bote. Look, it's
a blueprint. This is this is a so called bluepri
(12:00):
This isn't.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
The final vote.
Speaker 11 (12:02):
There's like seventeen more votes to go before this happens.
And you know, so people shouldn't panic yet because this
is no there's no kind of a done deal here.
This is this was the blueprint for the budget that
they're now going to try to follow. But the you know,
(12:22):
eventually they have to put actual meat on these bones
and say, okay, this is how we're cutting medicaid, this is.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
What we're going to cut.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
And this is how we're going to get to this
eight hundred and eighty billion dollars that's in our blueprint.
And then both the House and the Senate ultimately have
to agree on what they're going to cut.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
So any of them, so notwithstanding any of what you
just said, okay, because you were actually talking political one
on one.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Kind of, but people took that took that, you know,
the vote yesterday as oh my god, it's all done.
That's not true. It's not all done. And that was
the beginning and it's nowhere near the end. And with
regards of the Medicaid cuts, it's it's almost a trigion,
a trigion bucks because you know why they're doing that,
because they have to pay for the tax cut for
(13:28):
Elon because he's only got three hundred and eighty.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Three billion dollars. And okay, so so up. He needs
to show their three very important characteristics to this. Forget
Elon Musk for a moment. Okay, I'm trying to. I
(13:52):
like to forget him ault but it's hard because he's everywhere.
You can't get rid of him. And and and by
the bye man, I just read an article about him
that said he's lost to half a billion dollars already
(14:13):
just since he got involved with the Trump administration. And
just read it yesterday. Well, Tesla's stock has tagged so
good work agi amount of money on paper on the
Tesla stock as those of us who are Jewish would say, borokashim,
(14:34):
May God cont continue, May God continue to do good
work and to bless him.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Yeah, uh, don't buy a Tesla on Friday. In fact,
don't buy anything on Friday, February twenty eight, don't buy
anything the National Day protest of this garbage that we're
living through somehow, Okay, so for what all his garbage
(15:04):
is worse?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Okay. I have a couple of close friends who are
running for governor. Antonio Antonio Antonio here Goes, who has
been a friend for well, actually was at my wedding.
I mean he he's the one who knocked over the
(15:30):
camera while they were taping you singing if ever I
would leave you. I think that's what it was. Yeah,
I think that's what. Yeah, that's what That's what you
Michael wanted me to think. So I thank it. I
wanted to sing that. Yes, I want my best rap
(15:51):
impression was better than Robert could have done. Come on, man,
your voice, your your Oh we I had we rescued
your voice. I spent a lot of money rescuing your voice.
(16:13):
You have no idea because it had been a lot
years since I had heard you singing that.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
I'll go back to the to the days of my
first job. Oh my god, when I was Smo and
Joe at the Motive.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Samoa and Joe at this and by the way, you
know that I encountered somebody who met you up there
and didn't quite remember him, but said, oh, John Duhumman
is your uncle.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
I said, oh, well, how they they knew I was
Samoa Joe because you know Jo Yes, yeah, really is
well known as Samoa Joe.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Yes, yes, yes, they you was Samoa Joe for your
listeners who have no idea what's going on here, so
please explain it. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
So I'm bassor from Shanna, not which most people know
me as Bass from Shauna. But my first real job
when I was seventeen years old and lying about my
age because you had to be at least twenty one.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
In those days. Yeah, yeah, New York State, to work
at the piano bar, you know, because there was liquor
involved at the piano bar. But I was Samoa.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
Joe at the Tiki Motor Inn in Lake George, New York.
Lake George like like George, Lake George. Samoa Joe filled
in for one one day a week. I think it
was Tuesday for a Heart for Hurricane Hattie. Hurricane Hattie
yeh hurc Diane forres from Blentz Falls, New York. And
(18:14):
she was one of the best entertainers to this day
I've ever known. She did the hardest job in the world,
which was to keep people in a bar from nine
pm to two am.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
And she could do it.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
She was an assortment of a body material, you know, joke, good,
good piano playing. You know, she was just a lot
of fun. She knew how to keep people in a
bar from nine to two And I probably learned more
about entertaining people from her than I learned from any
everybody else put together in my entire.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I knew how to sing. Didn't she play the piano too?
Or no, he did.
Speaker 11 (18:54):
It was a piano bar, so she had to play
the piano and sing at the same time. And you know,
her big number was seven Old Ladies Locked in the Laboratory,
which I won't repeat on radio here. But she was
she was funny, She was good, and she knew how
to do it. And she couldn't have been nicer. And
(19:16):
you know, she wore a moo moo are a gay
hattie even though she was saying forest from Glens Falls,
New York, Okay. And consequently I had to wear a
Hawaiian shirt, you know, and a lady you know, when
when I was THEMA job.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
So my husband, Michael and I had been together since
nineteen nineteen ninety two something like that, something like, and
we had our fortieth anniversary, I don't know a couple
(19:55):
of years ago, let's just say. And so I was
telling somebody about our fortieth anniversary cruise that we went on,
and the guy looked at me and said, to.
Speaker 13 (20:10):
Realize, next week is going to be forty two years
for you guys.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
It's like, holy crap. Sorry, we're on terrestrial radio. I
can't I can't say what I really want to say,
but we said holy I said, holy crap.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
It was amazing.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Anyway, I just turned sixty six in December, and he's
going to in July. Tern I guess sixties seven, whatever
it is, sixty eight and John and the audience, I
(21:00):
feel like it's one hundred years ago already. I mean
I have known John be sidis fact that he's my uncle.
I mean, I've known him all my life. My father,
I remember my father. Yeah, well you're a nuts. My
(21:20):
father and I were what's the word you would say
when two people are not together, it's we weren't divorced. Well,
it's strange, would be one word or its strange. No, no, no, no,
(21:40):
that's a great word. Yeah, we were. We were strange
for forty two years, I think it was. And a
long story goes on, and uh, John's daughter and son.
(22:03):
We're trying to get us, get me together with my sister,
who I hadn't countered in what would you say, thirty years,
I don't know, twenty five years, decade? Yeah, decades. Yeah,
(22:25):
And so my sister and I got connected, and a
couple of days later, my sister contacted me on Facebook,
yeah I think it was Facebook, and said, I'm just
(22:51):
be available so we can talk you know later, And
so pardon me, please forgive me, because getting very misty
and blowy.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Is really really getting all choked up, which, by the way,
you know that all choked.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
Up was the.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Closing song in.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
The show, the stage play Greef, and was replaced by
You're the one that I wanted in the movie, and
that that was a very shout or out when we
were all in the movie. That was a very good switch. Anyway,
back to your.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Story, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
The politics soon sometimes or whatever we're still.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Doing on wisdom. We're doing actually, I think what we're
supposed to be doing, which is talking about politics. And
it's a weird time, you know, it's one of those
you're time people are tired of us talking about Trump,
(24:06):
and no, it is true.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
So how about those type poles that came out where
Trump is underwater in everyone already, which is unheard of
at this point in a presidency. In other words, his
approval rating is minus minus territory, way more people disapprove
(24:31):
of him than approve of him, and his co president
Elon Musk, is even worse off in the proverbial toilet.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, I'll say it to this story. His moron pro president,
as you call it, is a total and complete moron.
He made be He may mean the richest matter on earth,
(25:05):
but he's yeah, let's just say he's an effing new
millionaire when it comes to talking to an understanding people.
All Right, I.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
Haven't speak well for this does not speak well for
for how people make money. In other words, how how
is it possible that somebody, first all, they've been completely
incompetent in this, in this chainsaw massacre that dose.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Really is.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
They've had to they keep firing people who are critical
public in federal employees and having to hire them back
because they completely don't know what they're doing. So how
can you possibly end up with three undred and eighty
three billion dollars when you're this incompetence?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Yeah, well this is this, this, this, my friend, has
to be easy. This has to besy closure of our show,
of my show today, you know, because right now we're
(26:24):
talking about all this other mischia. Go wait a minute,
breaking news. I'm sorry, I don't have my distance classes on,
so I can't really see what it's saying.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Everything breaks, that doesn't mean anything. There's nothing that isn't
breaking news. Wait a second, it's breaking news that you've
got to go to break in like a couple of minutes,
you know, put those we'll put the logo up just
as breaking news.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Well because they hope that's going to get them more
people watching. Right, that's the whole point. That is the law.
My dear uncle, my dear uncle. Yes, you and I
(27:21):
have been together for so many years, fifty six years,
because I'm eleven years older than you, okay, seven seven okay,
and I'm sixty six just just in December turn yeah
(27:42):
all right, so look I know, ah, sorry, NBCs AG,
NBC is aggravating me. Right now. Okay, give me, give
me aggravating people a lot lately, or oh my god,
(28:03):
what's going on with these lunatics? New new management, new
management and some you know, questionable decisions. I think I
think that I think they made some big mistakes. I
(28:25):
happen to watch, well, I don't watch that often, but
I watch a couple of nights this week racial mad
out who happens to be one of the most brilliant
newscasters whatever. You know, she's just she's so sharp, she's
(28:52):
so she's so damn good. Yep. And I can't really
use them. I won't to say, because most of it's
not permissible on terrestrial radio, and I'm one am an
FM terrestrial radio.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
I never thought of this, this terrestrial radio, but I
suppose it is. But you know, Rachel, you know, as
great as radio. I wish she'd come back by nights
a week for the first hundred days of Trump's so
called presidency. Honestly, I really wish she had come back
(29:39):
by nights the week during the election, because we really
needed her, you know, her, she and her staff, oh
oh oh oh, in a way that we need a
lot of other TV, isn't you know, she's super incisive.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
We need her and her sightfulness when we were trying
to win an election, and I know, I know that's
not what NBC's job is to do. But now we
know that they're going to put the African American guy
(30:25):
out off of TV and onto some other show, the
guy who was who was the years hosted Evening No,
whatever the hell it is, Well, let's let's they're hopes
moving over to day. It's unclear whose decision that was.
(30:49):
It's unclear to me.
Speaker 11 (30:50):
You know, the matter situation was her decision. You know,
she burnt out on five nights a week, and I
could certainly understand that. I think when you take your
job as serious, if she took her job, you know,
it's pretty there's that there's a lot to do to
be on for an hour a day, you know, five
nights a week. But we really could have used her.
(31:14):
I mean, honestly, I remember back to twenty sixteen when
John Stewart, who was appealing to a lot of younger
people and made a big difference and turned out, also
made the decision to retire during an election cycle or
coming right into an election cycle.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Okay, okay, so retire now when the election is over. Pleased, John,
hang up, hang on for a second. We seem to
be at four thirty one, so I'm sure we're past
our break time, and my engineer hasn't given me a
(31:56):
queue for the last minute. So let's just say this
is Eric Bauman, host of the Uncommons and Democrats right
here on NBC Radio Case A A, and we'll be
back in a few minutes after a little bit of
news and some some live let's just say some some
(32:23):

some commercials and some live intros, and then well we'll
be back me with John Bauman, the president of so

Yeah, he's eighty five. I was gonna say it had
to be ninety years old. He's about eighty five. He's
in pretty good shape. Honey. I can't wait a minute.
I can't do this with you, Doke Dope, Doke, Duke
of Earld Dope, Doke, Duke of Earl, Duke Duke. My God,
(37:46):
Now other people out there can tell why I'm the
one who was in the singing group.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
But although you're on by part, you're on by part,
then I well think, because I can't think, I believe God, I.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Can only do this polish her, for.
Speaker 11 (38:04):
I'm not the base thinger, right, we can all only
do the bass part. Well, I was in all the
actually I was a base seritone.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Many. I was like your father, by the way, I
was like your father. You know, your father had such
a beautiful voice. He did. He was really he did
have a lovely voice for the audience that's there just
(38:35):
trying to figure out what's going on. Once again.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
So my father, Eric's grandfather was a dentist, but he got.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
The things to the patient.
Speaker 11 (38:50):
He thanks you quite a bit, you know, as he
was drilled.
Speaker 14 (38:54):
Yeah, he did.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
It's kind of a mixed method because the drill in
those days was, you know, was I think, fairly painful,
and the high speed drill made a horrible, you know, worrying, worrying,
high pitched noise. And Charlie Ballman had a lovely bassed
barzone voice, which he also used in the hollow Fills
(39:18):
Jewish Center choir.
Speaker 6 (39:20):
Oh my goodness at the Hollis Hills Jewish edery was wonderful. Yeah, yeah,
and he was. He was very pleased when I when
I joined Seannana and was actually you know, becoming successful
within the music business, because I think he yeah, loved
(39:42):
to do that himself. Yeah, do you remember what his
favorite song was that he there was not a some
of us songs. Well, I think the imber of some debate.
But what do you think, Oh? I think it was
(40:04):
when Chester could see true, you were letting me shown.
Speaker 11 (40:14):
One thing about about doctor Charles Bauman was that he
never knew the words to anything.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
So he sang beautifully, but he never knew the words
to anything.
Speaker 11 (40:27):
So every song was, you know, like one of one
of his definite favorites was the the wonderful song from
Regin Hammerstein, South Pacific, which went.
Speaker 14 (40:41):
Some intensity, no no, no, no, no no, because everything
always went by the second, by the second verse.
Speaker 11 (40:53):
I remember there was a song that there was a
hot number from the from the still Jewish Center that
went vish Rube you throwing right, Oh my god, even
(41:14):
die royal because he forgot.
Speaker 6 (41:16):
To do went.
Speaker 13 (41:20):
Is the reason I became a religious Jew, which nobody
believes it is because of Charlie.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
It was because of Charlie.
Speaker 11 (41:34):
He was how how did that happen? He went to
he went to Temple twice a year, and Russia shant
young Kaport.
Speaker 6 (41:44):
So yeah, well he taught me so much.
Speaker 16 (41:53):
He taught me so much, and now I'm.
Speaker 17 (42:05):
Now I'm so.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
Oh, you've learned a lot, and you've forgotten a lot too.
Speaker 17 (42:17):
No, I.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
Have not forgotten a lot.
Speaker 18 (42:22):
Believed, man, I've learned a lot more.
Speaker 6 (42:26):
And you as you well know, I know, I know.
But we should probably get back to politics here, because
I think that's the best.
Speaker 13 (42:38):
Politics was being at your parents'.
Speaker 17 (42:43):
House and you're mother giving.
Speaker 6 (42:55):
Your age whops. I'm honestly second.
Speaker 18 (43:02):
Giving your loul hanger, m killing whistle, giving your technical difficulties.
Speaker 6 (43:10):
Yeah, so to speak, Yeah, giving giving your aunt ham
On a bagel? What we supposed do you know about this? No? No,
which what? What ant are we talking about? Fanny? Fanny? Yeah,
(43:30):
we all have to be fancy. So Fanny kept kosher,
and I see where this is going, right, And so
you should pardon the expression. Fanny didn't didn't eat ham
(43:56):
didn't eat pork, didn't eat any what we would call
what we what we what we called goyish food. Okay.
And my grandmother, my uncle John's mother did different things
(44:27):
that were evil. We'll just put we'll just put it
that way. So she served her a bagel in lucks
that was made out of pardon me, I'm sorry, but
my mother, my mother your grandmother consumed consume vad quantities
(44:48):
of ham in the in the horrible the the pre
packaged ham in the plastic package you know, from from
the market across the streets.
Speaker 11 (45:01):
So it wasn't unusual or surprise.
Speaker 6 (45:03):
Was that was?
Speaker 14 (45:04):
That?
Speaker 6 (45:05):
Was that the associated? It was wasated for a while.
Speaker 11 (45:10):
Yes, it it went through several chains. Actually when I
was first, when I was a really little kid, I
remember it was something called.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
Foodville, Foodville. Okay, I don't really remember this Foodville, but
I knew that.
Speaker 11 (45:25):
I think Foodville was even pre or you you know,
Foodville was when we first moved there. It was Foodville
that I can guarantee you and as you know, I'm
sure as I'm sure your audience. No, foodvill has not
exactly survived, as you know, a a dominant supermarket chain
in America or the world.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
No, No, I take short shelf life. I I think
if they would say it in the Yiddish it hucked
ganga a van and went away, that.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
Went away, would go went went away. But I do remember,
you know, riding on the shopping cart when it was
food filled. Yeah, so I remember when it was the associated. Yeah,
do you remember when it was the associated.
Speaker 6 (46:20):
Absolutely, and maybe it had several other incarnationia, but it
was associated for quite a while. I don't know what
was associated with it was associated. I always wondered about that, like,
what does that mean associated with? Well, your mother had
a an f fit, okay, because you know we're talking
(46:46):
on radio. Your mother had an f fit because.
Speaker 13 (46:54):
I was.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
I was going to go wash your father's I think
it was a Buick Rivie Era.
Speaker 11 (47:05):
Yeah, I inherited the Riviera and your aunt Mary and
I drove the Buick rivi Era across country, oh, from
New York to California.
Speaker 6 (47:21):
When it got I think I believe it was about
seven miles to the gallons. Oh, my busted back seven
miles to the gallon. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (47:32):
The pure Privy era was not known for its for its.
Speaker 6 (47:36):
Boy was at a beautiful car though of gas. Yes,
it was a very beautiful car. And when your grandfather.
Speaker 11 (47:43):
Passed away, you know, my dad passed passed away, who
was in mint condition, he was always afraid to drive
it because it might get in an accident. So basically
just left it in the garage and we'll go ask
to admire.
Speaker 6 (47:58):
It every now and then. So so so so, despite
what despite what my grandmother had to say. Okay, I
went out there and I was gonna say shampooed. Oh
that's not the right term. No, that's it.
Speaker 17 (48:19):
You're you're on.
Speaker 11 (48:20):
The right track. Yeah, you watched the car. I watched
the club kind of open, you know.
Speaker 6 (48:26):
With whatever what it was, whatever it was. And Bessie
came up. Bessie was John's mother. She came out and
she said, what are you doing? You're gonna get pneumonia
and die. And the next thing, this eighty year old
doctor this house house coming housekeeping doctor came came to
(48:50):
the house and told me I had to take this garbage,
and so I did. House called which doctor was? This
was just SABRANDI thinker. And now it might have been posted.
It might have been doctor No, no, no, no, it
(49:12):
might have been doctor Saburn. That that rings a bell
for me, John, who I always want in later years,
I thought he was related to Saburn. Who who was
the other the other creator of polio vaccine. I don't
(49:41):
know if he really was. They did, yeah that was Dayben.
Speaker 11 (49:44):
No, this is okay, but yeah, that would ring a bell, yes,
because they been Yeah. God, now that we live in
a country, not to bring it back to what we're
supposed to be talking about it now that we live
in a country where where the secretary, the HHS secretary
doesn't believe in vaccines, is it? I mean, I literally
(50:11):
remember the lines when the Salk vaccine first came out.
I am old enough to remember that we were lined
up all all around the corner, you know, to get
the to get the absolutely life saving Stalk vaccine.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Okay, first question is are you are you really that old?
Speaker 11 (50:30):
I am really that old and staban. You know, the
Stamen vaccine was the oral version, as I remember it,
of the correct It.
Speaker 6 (50:39):
Was like a pill that you put. It was a
pill that you put in your mouth and you let
it either dissolve on your tongue or whichever way they
were given it.
Speaker 11 (50:52):
But you didn't have to get a shot any more,
which was really, you know, not that big. The shot
wasn't that big a deal. But you know, the the
oral vaccine was better. But you know, we lived in
me you know, and as Eric has told this audience,
you know, my mother and his grandmother was was already
(51:15):
phobic about disease.
Speaker 6 (51:19):
So you know, I never learned to slink because she
was phobic. She was phobic about her son's including my father,
the doctor. I mean, she was bhobic about all of it.
Speaker 11 (51:37):
Right about everything, but you know, it was it was
also no joke that, you know, polio was thought to
spread in public fools, and that polio was a virus
that was a real scourge. You know that that people
died and were crippled for life, and you.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
Know, this was a.
Speaker 11 (52:00):
Tremendous breakthrough. And the idea that we have a Secretary
of of Health and Human Services who doesn't actually believe
in vaccines, who at one point actually said, you know,
in an interview, I don't think any vaccines are effective,
(52:22):
you know, or words. I think that's pretty much of
an exact quote. Might be a little bit off, but
what kind of world are we? This makes make America
great again, make America means means make America subject to
horrible diseases again.
Speaker 6 (52:41):
You know.
Speaker 11 (52:41):
In today, I mean one of the biggest pieces of
news of the day was that was that somebody died
of measles. A child died in this Texas diaesels outbreak.
Speaker 6 (52:53):
It's the forty four children have died of measles in
the United States in the last weak ish No, I
think they've contracted measles. But now someone dies. Now our
(53:17):
child has died, and it's the first death from measles
in the United States in about ten years. I mean,
this is very unusual. And you know, anybody who thinks
that this doesn't have to do with this anti vaccine
crusade that's been going on for a period of time now,
(53:40):
and that Donald Trump is fostering by hiring a complete
maniac to be by nominating a maniac to be helped
and Human Services secretary. Anybody who doesn't think that is
got their heads in the stand. This is dangerous stuck,
(54:00):
you know, aside from the fact that the eight hundred
and eighty billion bucks that they're going to try to
cut from Medicaid is only going to make America sicker
and poorer. There's just a lot.
Speaker 11 (54:13):
Of dangerous stuff going on in our country right now,
and we'd better fight back. So, among other things, you
call your member of Congress, whether it's a Democrat or
a Republican, call the office and pound on the phone
and make sure that they know and that they hear
(54:33):
that that the Republican budget that cuts almost the trillion
dollars out of Medicaid is simply not acceptable.
Speaker 6 (54:47):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 11 (54:49):
One, it's critically important right now. This is these are
the these are the times. Like I said, you know,
last night they passed a blueprint for this budget. Some
people are confused and think that that that that was
the final vote. It wasn't the final vote at all.
So we got time here to still deal with to
(55:11):
try to convince these bozos to not go in this
direction and not succumb to the insanity of Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (55:21):
Andy Lon Musk, Yeah, man, I would agree with you.
I think there's a lot of uh as we would say,
coming from our background. I think there's a lot of
Nishagoian out there who just don't speak And by the way,
(55:46):
for those of you ladies and gentlemen that don't understand Yiddish,
but sugar.
Speaker 11 (56:00):
Is a sugar is a pretty common word, you know.
Speaker 6 (56:03):
That's that's sort.
Speaker 11 (56:04):
Of in the in the parlance that the parts of
Yiddish that have maaded into the English language. I used
to think my Sugars were people from Michigan, but then
I later learned that they were just people who were crazy.
All of them seemed to be in in in Trump's
cabinet at this point. Well, there's a lot there's a
(56:28):
lot of crazy people out there.
Speaker 6 (56:29):
And by the way, I just got a time update.
We have about eh plus your minus four minutes left.
That's that's a lot of time. Yeah, that is a
lot of time for us, not for you and me,
(56:50):
but for any other guests that I would have others
than blitz blitz. By the way, hang on a second.
Speaker 11 (57:08):
You're doing all choked up from the Grease movie again
or the Greek show, not the movie. Got im replaced
by you're the one that I want. A brilliant song
written by Olivia Olivia Newton John's music director John Ferrar.
(57:28):
I thought i'd just throw that in while you were choking.
Speaker 6 (57:32):
What do you think about? What do you think of
Elizabeth Newton John's husband just put it that way, and
(57:52):
she heaven common.
Speaker 11 (57:58):
I don't have any idea what you're talking about that.
Speaker 6 (58:01):
Oh, okay, well you're schmucks.
Speaker 17 (58:03):
Then.
Speaker 11 (58:04):
Olivia Olivia Newton John, who was a lovely person. You know,
she passed away like a couple of years, a year
a year ago, yeah, yeah, a year ago, a year ago,
and she was living in Santinez, where I'm you know,
my your aunt and I have been spending a lot
of time. You know, she was We didn't see her
(58:26):
up there much, but she was, you know, in the
same in the same small town, and she she was
just always very nice. We used to run into her
on tour, you know, fairly frequently.
Speaker 6 (58:36):
And she just was always nice to us.
Speaker 11 (58:39):
And she had a great reputation as being a lovely person.
Speaker 6 (58:44):
So one, my dad, how is Olivia Newton? John not
here anymore? And it's tough to kill around the play?
Speaker 13 (58:54):
Oh, isn't isn't it?
Speaker 6 (58:56):
Isn't that a horrible thing? Though? It is. I think
when you go to when you go to school, that
you have to ask God, why? Why? What's happening? All right,
there's a there's my musical out que.

I'm Brian Shook. The first cabinet meeting of President Trump's
second term is in the books. Topics included the Russia
Ukraine War and tariffs against China. Trump said the European
Union will also be hit with tariffs.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
European Union was formed in order to screw the United States.
That's the purpose of it, and they've done a good
job of it. But now I'm president.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Ukrainian President Zelensky is reportedly coming to Washington, DC on
Friday to sign off on a minerals deal. Zelensky pushed
back on President Trump's demand for five hundred billion dollars
in rare earth minerals, saying the US provided Ukraine with
one hundred billion dollars in aid. White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levitt said the deal will provide critical resources for
(00:51):
the US and create an economic partnership with Ukraine. The
Vatican says Pope Francis is showing some slight improvement and
update from the whole. Press Office says that the mild
kidney insufficiency the Pope had experienced has subsided. New York
City Mayor Eric Adams Lawyer is filing a motion to
dismiss corruption charges while he eyes a second term. Natalie

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Despite the charges, the mayor continues to double down on
previous beliefs that he will remain in office.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
He may be more confident than in some New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Matt Adams is horrible.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
He got so many people against him, and I personally
don't see nothing he'd done for New York people. It's
time for a new regime.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It comes after leaked documents revealed former US Attorney danielsa
Soon accused Adams of offering to aid the Trump Administration's
deportation efforts in exchange for the Department of Justice dismissing
his charges. Adams lawyer Alex Buro called the claim wildly
inflammatory and prosecutorial misconduct, adding the most appropriate recourse is
to throw out the case.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
Oh yeah, I've heard that. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
And after all this convoluted the wedding weather that we've
been having, we have pretty lovely weather today. One understand
(06:01):
is we're gonna have excuse me, you'll have to forgive me.
I have the hit coughs, h please forgive me. Will
(06:27):
have beautiful weather for another day and then the rain
and loudest lessons start again. I think tomorrow. I'm not
if I've got it right. I don't know. I was
very lucky. I got h an article from one of
(06:55):
my Jewish news letters yesterday and we had delicious corn
dogs the last night or the night before, and we
had that with homemade Conicious, And I gotta tell you something,
(07:19):
I don't know if you're a big fan of either
conicious or corn dogs. Pointed, we have a delicious supper
and having that with some salads made for a wonderful meal.
(07:42):
I'm not sure if my guests today, John Baumann, the
president of Social Security Works, pack if he likes any
of that stuff, because us, honestly is only half of
a Jew. I think, I think when it comes to
(08:08):
some of this stuff, I'm not sure what he really likes.
We've covered weather, corn dogs. Where are we going? Where
are we going next? Please? No, I told you I
don't like locks or Harry that much. But we'll cover
condishes or corn dogs. No, we didn't. We didn't discover
(08:34):
any of that. Man, I cover any of that, I
should say.
Speaker 11 (08:39):
Yeah, alreadyence is mystified right now as to where we're
going to go next with this. But you know, this way,
it's kind of like Trump's cabinet meeting that he had today.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Yeah, what what was that today? Or yesterday?
Speaker 11 (08:58):
I think it was this morning. I think it was
this morning. Every day every day in this misery that
we're in, seems like a year or.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You know, Oh, I can't follow his nonsense. And by
the way, for those of you who don't know what's
going on here, person of all, my guest is John Bowman,
who's the president of Social Security Works the past.
Speaker 11 (09:33):
Nancy Ultiman's the president of Social Security Works. And you know,
Nancy founded Social Security. She knows more about Social Security
than anybody in America. She's written four books and all that.
And I mean, look, I'm here on your show this week, Nancy,
or last week. Really, Nancy was quoted in the New
(09:55):
York Times, the Washington Post sixty minutes she was. She
was on every network, you know, because of because of
the Trump you know, administration shenanigans with regard to UH
Social Security. And now they're run to medicaid. You know,
(10:16):
Medicaid is the is the topic of the moment, well.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
For for US, Russian and then please forgive me, I'm
all choked up. No One in California we call medicaid medical,
(10:41):
and nationally it's medicaid. As you know, yes, I certainly know.
I've known infen sir. I hate to say it, but
for more than thirty years I've learned. Anyway, we we're
(11:12):
having a lot of issues with what these and only
because we're talking about these michigans. They need to save.
They've been ordered to save a billion dollars. I want
(11:33):
to repeat that one billion with a B.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
A Trivia trillion at of medicaid. It's well it's eight
hundred and eighty billion, so eight hundred and eighty billion
is almost a trivion, and it's it's all of medicaid.
So they've been ordered. They took a bote. Look, it's
a blueprint. This is this is a so called bluepri
(12:00):
This isn't.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
The final vote.
Speaker 11 (12:02):
There's like seventeen more votes to go before this happens.
And you know, so people shouldn't panic yet because this
is no there's no kind of a done deal here.
This is this was the blueprint for the budget that
they're now going to try to follow. But the you know,
(12:22):
eventually they have to put actual meat on these bones
and say, okay, this is how we're cutting medicaid, this is.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
What we're going to cut.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
And this is how we're going to get to this
eight hundred and eighty billion dollars that's in our blueprint.
And then both the House and the Senate ultimately have
to agree on what they're going to cut.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
So any of them, so notwithstanding any of what you
just said, okay, because you were actually talking political one
on one.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Kind of, but people took that took that, you know,
the vote yesterday as oh my god, it's all done.
That's not true. It's not all done. And that was
the beginning and it's nowhere near the end. And with
regards of the Medicaid cuts, it's it's almost a trigion,
a trigion bucks because you know why they're doing that,
because they have to pay for the tax cut for
(13:28):
Elon because he's only got three hundred and eighty.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Three billion dollars. And okay, so so up. He needs
to show their three very important characteristics to this. Forget
Elon Musk for a moment. Okay, I'm trying to. I
(13:52):
like to forget him ault but it's hard because he's everywhere.
You can't get rid of him. And and and by
the bye man, I just read an article about him
that said he's lost to half a billion dollars already
(14:13):
just since he got involved with the Trump administration. And
just read it yesterday. Well, Tesla's stock has tagged so
good work agi amount of money on paper on the
Tesla stock as those of us who are Jewish would say, borokashim,
(14:34):
May God cont continue, May God continue to do good
work and to bless him.
Speaker 11 (14:44):
Yeah, uh, don't buy a Tesla on Friday. In fact,
don't buy anything on Friday, February twenty eight, don't buy
anything the National Day protest of this garbage that we're
living through somehow, Okay, so for what all his garbage
(15:04):
is worse?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Okay. I have a couple of close friends who are
running for governor. Antonio Antonio Antonio here Goes, who has
been a friend for well, actually was at my wedding.
I mean he he's the one who knocked over the
(15:30):
camera while they were taping you singing if ever I
would leave you. I think that's what it was. Yeah,
I think that's what. Yeah, that's what That's what you
Michael wanted me to think. So I thank it. I
wanted to sing that. Yes, I want my best rap
(15:51):
impression was better than Robert could have done. Come on, man,
your voice, your your Oh we I had we rescued
your voice. I spent a lot of money rescuing your voice.
(16:13):
You have no idea because it had been a lot
years since I had heard you singing that.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
I'll go back to the to the days of my
first job. Oh my god, when I was Smo and
Joe at the Motive.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Samoa and Joe at this and by the way, you
know that I encountered somebody who met you up there
and didn't quite remember him, but said, oh, John Duhumman
is your uncle.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
I said, oh, well, how they they knew I was
Samoa Joe because you know Jo Yes, yeah, really is
well known as Samoa Joe.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Yes, yes, yes, they you was Samoa Joe for your
listeners who have no idea what's going on here, so
please explain it. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
So I'm bassor from Shanna, not which most people know
me as Bass from Shauna. But my first real job
when I was seventeen years old and lying about my
age because you had to be at least twenty one.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
In those days. Yeah, yeah, New York State, to work
at the piano bar, you know, because there was liquor
involved at the piano bar. But I was Samoa.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
Joe at the Tiki Motor Inn in Lake George, New York.
Lake George like like George, Lake George. Samoa Joe filled
in for one one day a week. I think it
was Tuesday for a Heart for Hurricane Hattie. Hurricane Hattie
yeh hurc Diane forres from Blentz Falls, New York. And
(18:14):
she was one of the best entertainers to this day
I've ever known. She did the hardest job in the world,
which was to keep people in a bar from nine
pm to two am.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
And she could do it.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
She was an assortment of a body material, you know, joke, good,
good piano playing. You know, she was just a lot
of fun. She knew how to keep people in a
bar from nine to two And I probably learned more
about entertaining people from her than I learned from any
everybody else put together in my entire.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
I knew how to sing. Didn't she play the piano too?
Or no, he did.
Speaker 11 (18:54):
It was a piano bar, so she had to play
the piano and sing at the same time. And you know,
her big number was seven Old Ladies Locked in the Laboratory,
which I won't repeat on radio here. But she was
she was funny, She was good, and she knew how
to do it. And she couldn't have been nicer. And
(19:16):
you know, she wore a moo moo are a gay
hattie even though she was saying forest from Glens Falls,
New York, Okay. And consequently I had to wear a
Hawaiian shirt, you know, and a lady you know, when
when I was THEMA job.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
So my husband, Michael and I had been together since
nineteen nineteen ninety two something like that, something like, and
we had our fortieth anniversary, I don't know a couple
(19:55):
of years ago, let's just say. And so I was
telling somebody about our fortieth anniversary cruise that we went on,
and the guy looked at me and said, to.
Speaker 13 (20:10):
Realize, next week is going to be forty two years
for you guys.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
It's like, holy crap. Sorry, we're on terrestrial radio. I
can't I can't say what I really want to say,
but we said holy I said, holy crap.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
It was amazing.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Anyway, I just turned sixty six in December, and he's
going to in July. Tern I guess sixties seven, whatever
it is, sixty eight and John and the audience, I
(21:00):
feel like it's one hundred years ago already. I mean
I have known John be sidis fact that he's my uncle.
I mean, I've known him all my life. My father,
I remember my father. Yeah, well you're a nuts. My
(21:20):
father and I were what's the word you would say
when two people are not together, it's we weren't divorced. Well,
it's strange, would be one word or its strange. No, no, no, no,
(21:40):
that's a great word. Yeah, we were. We were strange
for forty two years, I think it was. And a
long story goes on, and uh, John's daughter and son.
(22:03):
We're trying to get us, get me together with my sister,
who I hadn't countered in what would you say, thirty years,
I don't know, twenty five years, decade? Yeah, decades. Yeah,
(22:25):
And so my sister and I got connected, and a
couple of days later, my sister contacted me on Facebook,
yeah I think it was Facebook, and said, I'm just
(22:51):
be available so we can talk you know later, And
so pardon me, please forgive me, because getting very misty
and blowy.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Is really really getting all choked up, which, by the way,
you know that all choked.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
Up was the.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Closing song in.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
The show, the stage play Greef, and was replaced by
You're the one that I wanted in the movie, and
that that was a very shout or out when we
were all in the movie. That was a very good switch. Anyway,
back to your.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Story, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
The politics soon sometimes or whatever we're still.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Doing on wisdom. We're doing actually, I think what we're
supposed to be doing, which is talking about politics. And
it's a weird time, you know, it's one of those
you're time people are tired of us talking about Trump,
(24:06):
and no, it is true.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
So how about those type poles that came out where
Trump is underwater in everyone already, which is unheard of
at this point in a presidency. In other words, his
approval rating is minus minus territory, way more people disapprove
(24:31):
of him than approve of him, and his co president
Elon Musk, is even worse off in the proverbial toilet.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, I'll say it to this story. His moron pro president,
as you call it, is a total and complete moron.
He made be He may mean the richest matter on earth,
(25:05):
but he's yeah, let's just say he's an effing new
millionaire when it comes to talking to an understanding people.
All Right, I.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
Haven't speak well for this does not speak well for
for how people make money. In other words, how how
is it possible that somebody, first all, they've been completely
incompetent in this, in this chainsaw massacre that dose.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Really is.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
They've had to they keep firing people who are critical
public in federal employees and having to hire them back
because they completely don't know what they're doing. So how
can you possibly end up with three undred and eighty
three billion dollars when you're this incompetence?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Yeah, well this is this, this, this, my friend, has
to be easy. This has to besy closure of our show,
of my show today, you know, because right now we're
(26:24):
talking about all this other mischia. Go wait a minute,
breaking news. I'm sorry, I don't have my distance classes on,
so I can't really see what it's saying.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Everything breaks, that doesn't mean anything. There's nothing that isn't
breaking news. Wait a second, it's breaking news that you've
got to go to break in like a couple of minutes,
you know, put those we'll put the logo up just
as breaking news.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Well because they hope that's going to get them more
people watching. Right, that's the whole point. That is the law.
My dear uncle, my dear uncle. Yes, you and I
(27:21):
have been together for so many years, fifty six years,
because I'm eleven years older than you, okay, seven seven okay,
and I'm sixty six just just in December turn yeah
(27:42):
all right, so look I know, ah, sorry, NBCs AG,
NBC is aggravating me. Right now. Okay, give me, give
me aggravating people a lot lately, or oh my god,
(28:03):
what's going on with these lunatics? New new management, new
management and some you know, questionable decisions. I think I
think that I think they made some big mistakes. I
(28:25):
happen to watch, well, I don't watch that often, but
I watch a couple of nights this week racial mad
out who happens to be one of the most brilliant
newscasters whatever. You know, she's just she's so sharp, she's
(28:52):
so she's so damn good. Yep. And I can't really
use them. I won't to say, because most of it's
not permissible on terrestrial radio, and I'm one am an
FM terrestrial radio.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
I never thought of this, this terrestrial radio, but I
suppose it is. But you know, Rachel, you know, as
great as radio. I wish she'd come back by nights
a week for the first hundred days of Trump's so
called presidency. Honestly, I really wish she had come back
(29:39):
by nights the week during the election, because we really
needed her, you know, her, she and her staff, oh
oh oh oh, in a way that we need a
lot of other TV, isn't you know, she's super incisive.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
We need her and her sightfulness when we were trying
to win an election, and I know, I know that's
not what NBC's job is to do. But now we
know that they're going to put the African American guy
(30:25):
out off of TV and onto some other show, the
guy who was who was the years hosted Evening No,
whatever the hell it is, Well, let's let's they're hopes
moving over to day. It's unclear whose decision that was.
(30:49):
It's unclear to me.
Speaker 11 (30:50):
You know, the matter situation was her decision. You know,
she burnt out on five nights a week, and I
could certainly understand that. I think when you take your
job as serious, if she took her job, you know,
it's pretty there's that there's a lot to do to
be on for an hour a day, you know, five
nights a week. But we really could have used her.
(31:14):
I mean, honestly, I remember back to twenty sixteen when
John Stewart, who was appealing to a lot of younger
people and made a big difference and turned out, also
made the decision to retire during an election cycle or
coming right into an election cycle.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
Okay, okay, so retire now when the election is over. Pleased, John,
hang up, hang on for a second. We seem to
be at four thirty one, so I'm sure we're past
our break time, and my engineer hasn't given me a
(31:56):
queue for the last minute. So let's just say this
is Eric Bauman, host of the Uncommons and Democrats right
here on NBC Radio Case A A, and we'll be
back in a few minutes after a little bit of
news and some some live let's just say some some
(32:23):
live uh, I don't even know what to say anymore,
some commercials and some live intros, and then well we'll
be back me with John Bauman, the president of so

on numerous topics during his first cabinet meeting of his

an end to the Russia Ukraine War and also mentioned

federal government will not impact social security or medicaid.

I said it so many times. You shouldn't be asking
me that question. This will not be read my lips.
We're not going to touch it now. We are going
to look for fraud.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
That's me and the late Danny Green. Did you know
I got gene Chandler, the actual Duke of Earl. Yeah, Chicago.
He came to uh the Democratic Convention part Wait wait wait,
Contarno lived with Argo, lives in New Orleans.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
Thought gene Chandler the actual Duke of Earl. Yeah, since
you were playing Duke of Earl.
Speaker 6 (37:04):

At the d n C.
Speaker 13 (37:18):
He's still alive.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
Yeah, he's eighty five. I was gonna say it had
to be ninety years old. He's about eighty five. He's
in pretty good shape. Honey. I can't wait a minute.
I can't do this with you, Doke Dope, Doke, Duke
of Earld Dope, Doke, Duke of Earl, Duke Duke. My God,
(37:46):
Now other people out there can tell why I'm the
one who was in the singing group.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
But although you're on by part, you're on by part,
then I well think, because I can't think, I believe God, I.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Can only do this polish her, for.
Speaker 11 (38:04):
I'm not the base thinger, right, we can all only
do the bass part. Well, I was in all the
actually I was a base seritone.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Many. I was like your father, by the way, I
was like your father. You know, your father had such
a beautiful voice. He did. He was really he did
have a lovely voice for the audience that's there just
(38:35):
trying to figure out what's going on. Once again.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
So my father, Eric's grandfather was a dentist, but he got.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
The things to the patient.
Speaker 11 (38:50):
He thanks you quite a bit, you know, as he
was drilled.
Speaker 14 (38:54):
Yeah, he did.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
It's kind of a mixed method because the drill in
those days was, you know, was I think, fairly painful,
and the high speed drill made a horrible, you know, worrying, worrying,
high pitched noise. And Charlie Ballman had a lovely bassed
barzone voice, which he also used in the hollow Fills
(39:18):
Jewish Center choir.
Speaker 6 (39:20):
Oh my goodness at the Hollis Hills Jewish edery was wonderful. Yeah, yeah,
and he was. He was very pleased when I when
I joined Seannana and was actually you know, becoming successful
within the music business, because I think he yeah, loved
(39:42):
to do that himself. Yeah, do you remember what his
favorite song was that he there was not a some
of us songs. Well, I think the imber of some debate.
But what do you think, Oh? I think it was
(40:04):
when Chester could see true, you were letting me shown.
Speaker 11 (40:14):
One thing about about doctor Charles Bauman was that he
never knew the words to anything.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
So he sang beautifully, but he never knew the words
to anything.
Speaker 11 (40:27):
So every song was, you know, like one of one
of his definite favorites was the the wonderful song from
Regin Hammerstein, South Pacific, which went.
Speaker 14 (40:41):
Some intensity, no no, no, no, no no, because everything
always went by the second, by the second verse.
Speaker 11 (40:53):
I remember there was a song that there was a
hot number from the from the still Jewish Center that
went vish Rube you throwing right, Oh my god, even
(41:14):
die royal because he forgot.
Speaker 6 (41:16):
To do went.
Speaker 13 (41:20):
Is the reason I became a religious Jew, which nobody
believes it is because of Charlie.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
It was because of Charlie.
Speaker 11 (41:34):
He was how how did that happen? He went to
he went to Temple twice a year, and Russia shant
young Kaport.
Speaker 6 (41:44):
So yeah, well he taught me so much.
Speaker 16 (41:53):
He taught me so much, and now I'm.
Speaker 17 (42:05):
Now I'm so.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
Oh, you've learned a lot, and you've forgotten a lot too.
Speaker 17 (42:17):
No, I.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
Have not forgotten a lot.
Speaker 18 (42:22):
Believed, man, I've learned a lot more.
Speaker 6 (42:26):
And you as you well know, I know, I know.
But we should probably get back to politics here, because
I think that's the best.
Speaker 13 (42:38):
Politics was being at your parents'.
Speaker 17 (42:43):
House and you're mother giving.
Speaker 6 (42:55):
Your age whops. I'm honestly second.
Speaker 18 (43:02):
Giving your loul hanger, m killing whistle, giving your technical difficulties.
Speaker 6 (43:10):
Yeah, so to speak, Yeah, giving giving your aunt ham
On a bagel? What we supposed do you know about this? No? No,
which what? What ant are we talking about? Fanny? Fanny? Yeah,
(43:30):
we all have to be fancy. So Fanny kept kosher,
and I see where this is going, right, And so
you should pardon the expression. Fanny didn't didn't eat ham
(43:56):
didn't eat pork, didn't eat any what we would call
what we what we what we called goyish food. Okay.
And my grandmother, my uncle John's mother did different things
(44:27):
that were evil. We'll just put we'll just put it
that way. So she served her a bagel in lucks
that was made out of pardon me, I'm sorry, but
my mother, my mother your grandmother consumed consume vad quantities
(44:48):
of ham in the in the horrible the the pre
packaged ham in the plastic package you know, from from
the market across the streets.
Speaker 11 (45:01):
So it wasn't unusual or surprise.
Speaker 6 (45:03):
Was that was?
Speaker 14 (45:04):
That?
Speaker 6 (45:05):
Was that the associated? It was wasated for a while.
Speaker 11 (45:10):
Yes, it it went through several chains. Actually when I
was first, when I was a really little kid, I
remember it was something called.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
Foodville, Foodville. Okay, I don't really remember this Foodville, but
I knew that.
Speaker 11 (45:25):
I think Foodville was even pre or you you know,
Foodville was when we first moved there. It was Foodville
that I can guarantee you and as you know, I'm
sure as I'm sure your audience. No, foodvill has not
exactly survived, as you know, a a dominant supermarket chain
in America or the world.
Speaker 6 (45:46):
No, No, I take short shelf life. I I think
if they would say it in the Yiddish it hucked
ganga a van and went away, that.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
Went away, would go went went away. But I do remember,
you know, riding on the shopping cart when it was
food filled. Yeah, so I remember when it was the associated. Yeah,
do you remember when it was the associated.
Speaker 6 (46:20):
Absolutely, and maybe it had several other incarnationia, but it
was associated for quite a while. I don't know what
was associated with it was associated. I always wondered about that, like,
what does that mean associated with? Well, your mother had
a an f fit, okay, because you know we're talking
(46:46):
on radio. Your mother had an f fit because.
Speaker 13 (46:54):
I was.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
I was going to go wash your father's I think
it was a Buick Rivie Era.
Speaker 11 (47:05):
Yeah, I inherited the Riviera and your aunt Mary and
I drove the Buick rivi Era across country, oh, from
New York to California.
Speaker 6 (47:21):
When it got I think I believe it was about
seven miles to the gallons. Oh, my busted back seven
miles to the gallon. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (47:32):
The pure Privy era was not known for its for its.
Speaker 6 (47:36):
Boy was at a beautiful car though of gas. Yes,
it was a very beautiful car. And when your grandfather.
Speaker 11 (47:43):
Passed away, you know, my dad passed passed away, who
was in mint condition, he was always afraid to drive
it because it might get in an accident. So basically
just left it in the garage and we'll go ask
to admire.
Speaker 6 (47:58):
It every now and then. So so so so, despite
what despite what my grandmother had to say. Okay, I
went out there and I was gonna say shampooed. Oh
that's not the right term. No, that's it.
Speaker 17 (48:19):
You're you're on.
Speaker 11 (48:20):
The right track. Yeah, you watched the car. I watched
the club kind of open, you know.
Speaker 6 (48:26):
With whatever what it was, whatever it was. And Bessie
came up. Bessie was John's mother. She came out and
she said, what are you doing? You're gonna get pneumonia
and die. And the next thing, this eighty year old
doctor this house house coming housekeeping doctor came came to
(48:50):
the house and told me I had to take this garbage,
and so I did. House called which doctor was? This
was just SABRANDI thinker. And now it might have been posted.
It might have been doctor No, no, no, no, it
(49:12):
might have been doctor Saburn. That that rings a bell
for me, John, who I always want in later years,
I thought he was related to Saburn. Who who was
the other the other creator of polio vaccine. I don't
(49:41):
know if he really was. They did, yeah that was Dayben.
Speaker 11 (49:44):
No, this is okay, but yeah, that would ring a bell, yes,
because they been Yeah. God, now that we live in
a country, not to bring it back to what we're
supposed to be talking about it now that we live
in a country where where the secretary, the HHS secretary
doesn't believe in vaccines, is it? I mean, I literally
(50:11):
remember the lines when the Salk vaccine first came out.
I am old enough to remember that we were lined
up all all around the corner, you know, to get
the to get the absolutely life saving Stalk vaccine.
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Okay, first question is are you are you really that old?
Speaker 11 (50:30):
I am really that old and staban. You know, the
Stamen vaccine was the oral version, as I remember it,
of the correct It.
Speaker 6 (50:39):
Was like a pill that you put. It was a
pill that you put in your mouth and you let
it either dissolve on your tongue or whichever way they
were given it.
Speaker 11 (50:52):
But you didn't have to get a shot any more,
which was really, you know, not that big. The shot
wasn't that big a deal. But you know, the the
oral vaccine was better. But you know, we lived in
me you know, and as Eric has told this audience,
you know, my mother and his grandmother was was already
(51:15):
phobic about disease.
Speaker 6 (51:19):
So you know, I never learned to slink because she
was phobic. She was phobic about her son's including my father,
the doctor. I mean, she was bhobic about all of it.
Speaker 11 (51:37):
Right about everything, but you know, it was it was
also no joke that, you know, polio was thought to
spread in public fools, and that polio was a virus
that was a real scourge. You know that that people
died and were crippled for life, and you.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
Know, this was a.
Speaker 11 (52:00):
Tremendous breakthrough. And the idea that we have a Secretary
of of Health and Human Services who doesn't actually believe
in vaccines, who at one point actually said, you know,
in an interview, I don't think any vaccines are effective,
(52:22):
you know, or words. I think that's pretty much of
an exact quote. Might be a little bit off, but
what kind of world are we? This makes make America
great again, make America means means make America subject to
horrible diseases again.
Speaker 6 (52:41):
You know.
Speaker 11 (52:41):
In today, I mean one of the biggest pieces of
news of the day was that was that somebody died
of measles. A child died in this Texas diaesels outbreak.
Speaker 6 (52:53):
It's the forty four children have died of measles in
the United States in the last weak ish No, I
think they've contracted measles. But now someone dies. Now our
(53:17):
child has died, and it's the first death from measles
in the United States in about ten years. I mean,
this is very unusual. And you know, anybody who thinks
that this doesn't have to do with this anti vaccine
crusade that's been going on for a period of time now,
(53:40):
and that Donald Trump is fostering by hiring a complete
maniac to be by nominating a maniac to be helped
and Human Services secretary. Anybody who doesn't think that is
got their heads in the stand. This is dangerous stuck,
(54:00):
you know, aside from the fact that the eight hundred
and eighty billion bucks that they're going to try to
cut from Medicaid is only going to make America sicker
and poorer. There's just a lot.
Speaker 11 (54:13):
Of dangerous stuff going on in our country right now,
and we'd better fight back. So, among other things, you
call your member of Congress, whether it's a Democrat or
a Republican, call the office and pound on the phone
and make sure that they know and that they hear
(54:33):
that that the Republican budget that cuts almost the trillion
dollars out of Medicaid is simply not acceptable.
Speaker 6 (54:47):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 11 (54:49):
One, it's critically important right now. This is these are
the these are the times. Like I said, you know,
last night they passed a blueprint for this budget. Some
people are confused and think that that that that was
the final vote. It wasn't the final vote at all.
So we got time here to still deal with to
(55:11):
try to convince these bozos to not go in this
direction and not succumb to the insanity of Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (55:21):
Andy Lon Musk, Yeah, man, I would agree with you.
I think there's a lot of uh as we would say,
coming from our background. I think there's a lot of
Nishagoian out there who just don't speak And by the way,
(55:46):
for those of you ladies and gentlemen that don't understand Yiddish,
but sugar.
Speaker 11 (56:00):
Is a sugar is a pretty common word, you know.
Speaker 6 (56:03):
That's that's sort.
Speaker 11 (56:04):
Of in the in the parlance that the parts of
Yiddish that have maaded into the English language. I used
to think my Sugars were people from Michigan, but then
I later learned that they were just people who were crazy.
All of them seemed to be in in in Trump's
cabinet at this point. Well, there's a lot there's a
(56:28):
lot of crazy people out there.
Speaker 6 (56:29):
And by the way, I just got a time update.
We have about eh plus your minus four minutes left.
That's that's a lot of time. Yeah, that is a
lot of time for us, not for you and me,
(56:50):
but for any other guests that I would have others
than blitz blitz. By the way, hang on a second.
Speaker 11 (57:08):
You're doing all choked up from the Grease movie again
or the Greek show, not the movie. Got im replaced
by you're the one that I want. A brilliant song
written by Olivia Olivia Newton John's music director John Ferrar.
(57:28):
I thought i'd just throw that in while you were choking.
Speaker 6 (57:32):
What do you think about? What do you think of
Elizabeth Newton John's husband just put it that way, and
(57:52):
she heaven common.
Speaker 11 (57:58):
I don't have any idea what you're talking about that.
Speaker 6 (58:01):
Oh, okay, well you're schmucks.
Speaker 17 (58:03):
Then.
Speaker 11 (58:04):
Olivia Olivia Newton John, who was a lovely person. You know,
she passed away like a couple of years, a year
a year ago, yeah, yeah, a year ago, a year ago,
and she was living in Santinez, where I'm you know,
my your aunt and I have been spending a lot
of time. You know, she was We didn't see her
(58:26):
up there much, but she was, you know, in the
same in the same small town, and she she was
just always very nice. We used to run into her
on tour, you know, fairly frequently.
Speaker 6 (58:36):
And she just was always nice to us.
Speaker 11 (58:39):
And she had a great reputation as being a lovely person.
Speaker 6 (58:44):
So one, my dad, how is Olivia Newton? John not
here anymore? And it's tough to kill around the play?
Speaker 13 (58:54):
Oh, isn't isn't it?
Speaker 6 (58:56):
Isn't that a horrible thing? Though? It is. I think
when you go to when you go to school, that
you have to ask God, why? Why? What's happening? All right,
there's a there's my musical out que.
