1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: The Mark simonshell on or well, I'm back, way too

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: long a vacation. Every host was gone for two weeks.

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: That today everybody back to normal. Everybody's back. You know,

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: it's nice to get away a nice, quiet vacation. As

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I was saying, the President of the United States, Donald Trump,

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: very unusual. Normally a president takes a break, a vacation.

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Bush would go to the ranch, the ranch, quiet, peaceful,

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: roaring fire, quiet on the ranch. Joe Biden, would you

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: know some billionaire oligarch would lend him the house on

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Nantucket and he goes sit there on Nantucket? Is it

11
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Martha's vineyard? Even quieter? Martha's vineyard, roaring fire, snow outside, quiet,

12
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Trump fun vacation goes tomorrow. Lago that place Christmas Week

13
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: is a billion people all crammed into. It's the most crowded, chaotic,

14
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: noisy place you've ever seen. It's just a total circus

15
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: going on there around the clock. Now that's the way

16
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: he is. In fact, after two weeks there, I watched

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: him last night fly back to the White House. The

18
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: helicopter landed on the lawn and he walked into the

19
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: White House, and the White House for him is getting away.

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: The White House was peace and quiet for him, compared

21
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: to the unbelievably chaotic mar A Lago, just packed with people.

22
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: You hear all these people, you see them on Instagram.

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: Who went tomorrow Lago for the New Year's Eve party

24
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: or for Christmas dinner? Or you see him there in

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: the dining looks so nice and beautiful and you think,

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: what a wonderful Hey, where do he actually go there?

27
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: You know, you know, just pull up to the door

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: and get out of the car in the valley whisks

29
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: your car away. It's not that simple. You pull up

30
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: like four blocks away to a checkpoint where the Secret Service,

31
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: the FBI, guns big massive machine guns in their hand

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: and dogs everywhere, take your car apart for twenty minutes.

33
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: You have to open the hood, you have to open

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: the trunk. They have to look They literally look through

35
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: your engine. They inspect every inch of your car inside.

36
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: They even get under your car. They have a long

37
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: pole with a mirror that they slip under your car.

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: They look at everything. This takes forever. This is not

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: to mention frisking you, searching you, checking all your identity.

40
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: This is like a forty minute process. It makes TSA

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: at the airport look like a breeze. This is just

42
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: to get into Borrow Lago. It's just it's a crazy place.

43
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: But we're glad everybody's back. So the CBS Evening News

44
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: has a brand new anchor and tonight was supposed to

45
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: be his big debut. But then Saturday night, the Maduro

46
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: capture takes place. This is big breaking news. So they

47
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: decided the new anchor, I tell you his name, but

48
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: who the hell can remember it? And why remember it?

49
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: The last three anchors of the CBS Evening News actually

50
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: pay for the last five of them. Nobody remembers anyway.

51
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: But he decided he would anchor the Saturday night Evening News,

52
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: that he would move it up and that would be

53
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: his debut, and it was quite shocking.

54
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: You know.

55
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: They got this new Barry Weiss who took over CBS

56
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: News claims she's going to clean up the corruption is

57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: CBS News is the dirtiest, most corrupt, slanted, partisan, misleading,

58
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: biased news organization. She claimed she would clean it up. Well,

59
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: there was evidence of that. Saturday Night, the CBS Evening

60
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: News with the new guy. I think his name is

61
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: David something, who the hell knows but he took over,

62
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: and the big story that consumed the whole half hour

63
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: newscast was the Maduro capture. And of course it's CBS News,

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: you know the way they write the news there, it's

65
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of slanted, implying that this was something that shouldn't happen,

66
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: this Maduro capture. But then he said, with us live

67
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: now is Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsyth, and then he

68
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: put hexithon and let him talk for seven minutes. They

69
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: had to do commercial. He said, can you hold on

70
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: and come back with us? And then they brought him

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: back in the next segment for seven minutes, and then

72
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: at the end they said we have to go, but

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: for commercial, can you hang on again? And he hung

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: on through the second commercial break and was back for

75
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: a third segment. Now, this is the major spokesman of

76
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: the Trump administration on this matter, the Secretary of Defense.

77
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: So this is quite a change for CBS News to

78
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: give him airtime and let him give his point of

79
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: view and the administration's point of view for about twenty minutes.

80
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: You never would have seen that on the old CBS News.

81
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: So if this is an indication of change, if this

82
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: guy tonight is going to keep doing that. Make it

83
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: actually a fair, unbiased newscast. That'll be interesting. See what now,

84
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: it could be a formula. It really works. It'll take

85
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: a while for word to get around that it's not

86
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: so corrupt anymore, but who knows, it may take off

87
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: in viewership. And now the other thing is apparently Trump

88
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: knew that they're going to clean up the CBS Evening

89
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: News because the Maduro raid took place in the middle

90
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: of the night and it was secret. Congress nobody got

91
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: told about the raid. It was total secrecy when it happened.

92
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: But CBS News was given the story first by the administration.

93
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: They broke the story before anybody because the administration gave

94
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: it to them. That's a pretty big thing for a

95
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: news organization to be handed that big story before anybody else.

96
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: But the President did it, so apparently he has some

97
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: faith in CBS News. Now, the Sunday morning shows, they

98
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: went right back to total corruption. They went right back

99
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: to putting on people you shouldn't put on. Chuck Schumer

100
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: has no business being put on any Sunday morning show.

101
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: He's not going to run for reelection. He's totally irrelevant.

102
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: He's a sad, tired old Willie Lowman, kind of an

103
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: old politician on his way out. But there he was

104
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: huffing and puffing on the morning shows.

105
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: If they want to do what's good for the American people,

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: it should not be some escapade in Venezuela. It should

107
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: be focusing on lowering the cost of living that Americans

108
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: are struggling with every week and tell us it's the

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: most important issue they face.

110
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: Well, actually, he has been lowering the cost every week.

111
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: The actual statistics back that up. And an escapade getting

112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: rid of this drug terrorist kingpin Narco. It's not an escapade.

113
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: And we do have video. I think it's up on

114
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: my Twitter if you want to look at it. For

115
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: the last few years, Chuck Schumer has been demanding we

116
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: get rid of Maduro. He's been screaming that we have

117
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to get rid of Maduro. The whole thing is comical. Now.

118
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: The other thing they tried arguing is this process argument

119
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: that because legal, it's totally legal, you can go in

120
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: there and seize Maduro. We did it with Noriega, we

121
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: did it with in fact, let me see, there's a

122
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: whole list here. How many times you know, every president,

123
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: every single president has run these sort of operations. You

124
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: don't need there's nothing to do with the War Powers Act.

125
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: You don't need to get congressional approval. You don't even

126
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: need to notify them. You can go through the whole list.

127
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter Iran nineteen eighty Remember the operation in the

128
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: middle of the night landing the helicopters going in to

129
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: capture the hostages and get them back. That was Jimmy Carter,

130
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: and didn't notify Congress. Ronald Reagan bombing of Tripoli, bombing

131
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: of Benghazi, you didn't have to notify Congress. George H. W.

132
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Bush Panama invasion, Iraq airstrikes. You didn't need to get

133
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: any approval or notify them. Bill Clinton did it in Bosnia,

134
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: he did it in Iraq, he did it in Kosovo.

135
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: George W. Bush launched drone strikes at invasions in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia.

136
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Didn't have to inform Congress. Barack Obama did it in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen.

137
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden did it in Syria, Somalia and Yemen. In

138
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: fact are still there with the aster. See, you don't

139
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: need to inform anybody. You don't need to deal with

140
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: Congress on it. You don't. The War Powers Act was

141
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: created in the seventies by a bunch of left wing people,

142
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and basically it says, you can do whatever the hell

143
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: you want for ninety days. After ninety days, you're supposed

144
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: to inform us. Schumer again, I still have not been briefed.

145
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: We've had some contact with the administration in that we've

146
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: asked them for the Gang of Eight briefing and the

147
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: oil congressmen and all senators briefing, but we've gotten no

148
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: information from them.

149
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Who the hell would brief you? Why would any brief you,

150
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: who would even talk to you was to look at you.

151
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: And it was not an invasion. You know the CBS

152
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,239
Speaker 1: and ABC though Sunday Morning shows it's an invasion of Venezuela.

153
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: Rubio just fought back.

154
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: It wasn't necessary because this is not an invasion. We

155
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation. This

156
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: is a law enforcement operation. He was arrested on the

157
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 5: ground in Venezuela by FBI agents, read his right and

158
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 5: removed from the country.

159
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, President Trump.

160
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 6: Congress says the tendency to leak this would not be

161
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 6: good if they leaked general, I think it would have

162
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 6: been maybe a very different result.

163
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you imagine briefing? Can you imagine would you

164
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: trust Hakim Jeffries. You remember when Pete Hexsath went on

165
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: signal and they said this is dangerous discussing an upcoming

166
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: military operation on signal. Why somebody could find out what

167
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: would be more dangerous putting on signal chat or telling

168
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries about it. But remember, the Democrats have demanded

169
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: four years they have demanded. You can go to my

170
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Twitter the videos all up there of all the Democrats

171
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: demanding the Trump removed Maduro.

172
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 6: I did have conversations with him, and I said, and.

173
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: He also, he didn't just remove me. Gave Maduro many,

174
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: many many chances to leave on his own. He gave

175
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: him plenty of the exit packages that were quite the

176
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: p coffitable for him, but he turned him all down.

177
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 6: I did have conversations with him, and I said, uh,

178
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 6: you got to surrender. And I actually thought he was

179
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 6: pretty close to doing so, but now he wished he did.

180
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, now here's a couple of things. You know what's interesting.

181
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: All the Democrats, of course being just children. They're all

182
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: just childish knee jerk. You know, whatever Trump does, they

183
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: hate it. They start screaming and whining and pouting. And

184
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: they did that all you know who didn't say a

185
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: word about this Maduro thing. You know who's not even

186
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Gavin Newsom, who is appears to be the

187
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: leading candidate in twenty twenty, and he's kept quiet about it.

188
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: He knows to stay out of it. Now he is

189
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: going to be the big guest. If you're a left

190
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: wing cook, this is a big night for you, because

191
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: tonight they're announcing it all day long tonight on Rachel Maddow. Exclusive.

192
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: It says right there on the screen right now, it

193
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: says coxclusive interview with Gavin Newsom. Exclusive interview with Gavin Newsom.

194
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: I can't go five minutes without seeing Gavin Newsom on

195
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: a radio show, a podcast, a TV show. He's on

196
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,359
Speaker 1: forty thousand shows a day. But this is an exclusive

197
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: with Gavin Newsom. Now let's see if she asked him

198
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: about Maduro and he's forced to comment about it. Now,

199
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Tim Waltz is, as Howie Carr said,

200
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: sleeping with the fishes. Tim Waltz is dead politically. He's

201
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: gone he will not seek reelection. He announced that an

202
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: hour ago. He will not seek reelection. He can't run

203
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: for reelection. His political career is over because of the

204
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: Somalia fraud, which is massive. Everybody says Gavin Newsom has

205
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: the same problem about to explode in California, and if

206
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: that's the case, he'll suffer the same fate that Tim

207
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Waltz suffered. He will not be able to run and

208
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: that'll be the end of him. So this is going

209
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: to be interesting to keep an eye on. Now when

210
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: it comes to Venezuela. The only scary part when the

211
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: Trump adminstration says, well, we'll run of Venezuela, and everybody's,

212
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is a rack all over again.

213
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: This is a raq. We're gonna get bobbed. Now. There's

214
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: a lot of differences here, many differences. First of all,

215
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: it's not a rack. This country does not resemble a rack.

216
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: When we took over Iraq, we had destroyed every inch

217
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: of government. There was nothing there. In the case of Venezuela,

218
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: the government is still fully functioning. Government still exists. We

219
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: just took out one guy, We did not touch the government.

220
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: It's still there, still functioning. The other difference is a

221
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: raq the chaos came from the warring factions, the different tribes,

222
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: the different groups all fighting with each other the civil war.

223
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: This is not the case in Venezuela. There's only one

224
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: group of people. There aren't different tribes. There's unity in

225
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: the population. That's the other job.

226
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: Now.

227
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: The other difference is people in Iraq, believe it or not,

228
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: they loved Sadam Hussein. People in Venezuela hated Maduro. They're

229
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: all thrilled that he's gone. The other difference is in Iraq,

230
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: we were there on the ground occupying the country. There's

231
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: no such thing. In Venezuela. We are not there. We

232
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: don't have a single soldier on the ground there. We're

233
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: doing it from offshore on lots of ships. We got

234
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: lots of planes, drones, missiles. Also that we can do

235
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: whatever we need to from there. Who were not on

236
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: the ground, you remember, they always all we can. They're

237
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: bringing up the pottery barn rule. That was Colin Powell

238
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: that started that. When we went into Iraq, you know,

239
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: or we invaded. He always said, you got to remember

240
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: the pottery barn rule. You break it, you own it.

241
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: If you break it, you own it. He kept talking

242
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: about this pottery barn rule. It was all a myth.

243
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: He just made that up. There's no such thing. You know,

244
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: if you go into pottery barn today and accidentally break something,

245
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to buy it. There's no pottery barn

246
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: rule that if you break something in the store you

247
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: own it. The rules fall It never ever ever existed. Hey,

248
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: the Giant season is over. The Jets season is over.

249
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: Thank god. Now. I don't know how I got swept

250
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: up in this, but everybody kept talking about the Bills

251
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Jets game yesterday, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills. Bruce Blakeman.

252
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: Who should be the next governor. He's the best choice

253
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: for governor, Bruce Blakeman. I'm watching his Instagram. He's I'm

254
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: flying up to Buffalo. I didn't realize he's such a

255
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: big Buffalo fan, has been for years. In fact, he

256
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: was wearing this Buffalo T shirt that his sun bought

257
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: him years ago. He was such a Buffalo fan. But

258
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: he flew up there for the game, and all these

259
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: people are talking about the Buffalo Bills and the New

260
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: York Jets big game. Yes, I'm all hyped up. I

261
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: can't wait to watch as well. I got home late.

262
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: I had to miss the first half of the game,

263
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: so I put it on quickly. Oh, I want to

264
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: watch this game. I forgot it's the Jets. What the

265
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: hell am I rushing home for? Soon as I put

266
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: it on in the middle of the game, it's like thirty

267
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: eight nothing, Buffalo Bills are a head. It's the Jets.

268
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: They're not gonna what game? There was nothing competitive think

269
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: by the end, I think the Jets got one touchdown.

270
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: It was like seventy five to two or something. This

271
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: game the Jets the worst team in the world. Woody

272
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: Johnson is a wonderful guy. He's a great guy. I

273
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: know him. I love Woody Johnson. Worst owner in the

274
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: history of sports, single worst owner ever in the history

275
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: of sports. I've never seen anybody so bad at running anything.

276
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: It's Woody Johnson and the Jets. It's just horrible. And

277
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: there are plenty of people saying a mechanism needs to

278
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: be created in the NFL to take a team away

279
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: from an owner if he's ever this bad, and taking

280
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: away would mean force him to sell, which is fine.

281
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, he paid six hundred million for the team.

282
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: It's now worth like nine billions. So if he took

283
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: it away and made him sell it, great, he'd make

284
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: a great profit, be better for everybody. And then the

285
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Giants they're a little better. They didn't have a good season.

286
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: What were they four and eleven and four and thirty

287
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: or something like that, but they won the last couple

288
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: of games. Big mistake. They should have lost them deliberately,

289
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: because now you would have had a first choice in

290
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: the draft. Now you get like fourth choice in the draft.

291
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, we'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three

292
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: to two one zero seven ten is the number eight

293
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: hundred three to two to one zero seven ten.

294
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: Marximoni's back on seventen.

295
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Wor Well, so the left wing going nuts anything Trump does.

296
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: They're like little children. They just yell and scream and

297
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: whine and pout whatever he does. Let's say he had

298
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: a crime problem. It was out of control, and he

299
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: offered to send in troops to help police the streets

300
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: help clean up the crime. Well, they get mad and

301
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: scream and yell and pout and throw things. They go

302
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: to court and they get a left wing judge to

303
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: ban the National Guard from coming in, and then they cheer.

304
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: They cheer that they're gonna have less security. Now, once

305
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: in a while, you got a left wing guy who's

306
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: like sane rational for a moment or two. A Bill

307
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: Maher or Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle, you know, all the

308
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: left wings screaming and crying and yelling and pouting that

309
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: the National Guard came into Washington, d C. But listen

310
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: to Dave Chappelle went to Washington, d C. He's been

311
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: going there for years, but he went back. Now, the

312
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: Trump said in the National Guard. And what did Chappelle say?

313
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 7: And I came here mad, ready to fight. But when

314
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 7: I drove to the city, they look clean.

315
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: Guys.

316
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 7: I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you look clean.

317
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 7: Life better than the last time I was here.

318
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: They left wing crowd going nuts. Let's go to doctor

319
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: Bob in Long Island. Doctor Bob, how you doing.

320
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 8: I'm good, Mark, welcome back. You were dearly missed. I'll

321
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 8: say that two things. Number One, I think that we

322
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 8: have our we have instead of Dommy being the mayor,

323
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 8: he really is the first Nightmare of New York. That

324
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 8: should be his official title. Number Two, my take on

325
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 8: CBS News that new anchor was a little bit different

326
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 8: because he was kind of tough on Peter Hegsa and

327
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 8: his intonations were not that friendly.

328
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: But also the yeah, I think you missed the point.

329
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Of course, of course they always they always do that.

330
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: But he gave him three full segments. He left them

331
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: on the air for twenty minutes to talk. That's never

332
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: been done. That's a big, big, big, big, big change

333
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: for CBS News. Normally just beat up the guests for

334
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: twelve seconds and throw them off. They gave Hegsa three

335
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: full segments to answer. Let's go to Alan yonkers Al.

336
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 9: How you doing, Hey, Mark, Good health to you in

337
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 9: the new year.

338
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: I wish you the best.

339
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 4: You know, Mark, I just wanted to say, back in

340
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 4: the summer of seventy seven, I lived right near David Berkle,

341
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 4: which the son Sam, and I've always been interested in

342
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: true crime, had a lot of members of my family

343
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: who were retired.

344
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Law enforcement officers, and the point.

345
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 4: But I just wanted to Yeah, I just want to say,

346
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 4: it looks like they've finally identified who the Zodiac killer was,

347
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: who terrorized the San Francisco It looks pretty accurate.

348
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 9: Did you see that?

349
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: Well, actually no, well look into it, but no, I

350
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: was on vacation. I have not been following the Zodiac Killer,

351
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: but it's fascinating these cold cases that they solve a

352
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: million years later. Let's go to lou In Queen's lou

353
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: How you doing.

354
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 9: Hi, Mark, Welcome back, By the way, I had a

355
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 9: lot of lass. Listener Chris van Hollen, the Senator from

356
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 9: Maryland going no war for oil? Does he realize that

357
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 9: oil is under fifty nine bucks a barrel? Which brings

358
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 9: it back to January twenty twenty. And the other thing

359
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 9: is you broke my heart? Timothy Wolf not running for

360
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 9: the president. Where are the last gonna come from?

361
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: Oh, don't worry, these are democrats. They'll find somebody. Just

362
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: it's as dumb as Tim Waltz. They'll find somebody even dumber.

363
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 9: You know.

364
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: The problem was, you have to when you pick a

365
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: vice president, pick somebody worse than you, somebody dumber than you.

366
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons Obama picked Joe Biden. You

367
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: don't want a guy that's smarter than you, that looks

368
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: better than you, sounds better, and shows you up. That's

369
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: why Biden picked Kamala Harris. Now the problem is when

370
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris announced she was going to run. A lot

371
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: of political insiders said, where's she gonna find somebody dumber

372
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: than her? That's not going to be easy. Well, they

373
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: go meet with Joshapiro. He's got an iq A like

374
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: one fifty. He's talking a mile a minute. So that

375
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: was the end of him. Then they find Tim Waltz.

376
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: They couldn't believe it. They found that guy dumber than her.

377
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: Now the problem is if he runs, if he can't now,

378
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: but if he was gonna run, who the hell could

379
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: he find dumber than him? That would I mean, you know,

380
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: you have to go like the zoo to find somebody.

381
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: But Waltz has finished. His career is over. He announced

382
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: he will not seek reelection. That's the end to him.

383
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: You will not see him in politics anymore. I think

384
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: you'll see him try to start some sort of a

385
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: TV career. I'm sure he'll do a lot of MSNBC. Hey,

386
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: by the way, this Marjorie Taylor Green, who always looked

387
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: nuts you know, she always looked nutty, has been attacking

388
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: Trump left and right. Well it's paying off. He's getting

389
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: the start of a TV career. Now. You know, if

390
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: she's willing to attack Trump and call him names, and

391
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: they'll put her on anywhere. She was on Meet the Press.

392
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: Can you Meet the Press? Spent the last few years

393
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: telling you that Marjorie Taylor Green is a complete idiot

394
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: to a totally useless mora. Now they put her on

395
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: like she's a great spokesperson, a brilliant guest. They shower

396
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: with praise, so you're going to see more of her.

397
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: It's a great occupation, just trump bashing. You can actually

398
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: find work in television doing it. Hey, when we come back,

399
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: a conversation with Rob Reiner. I've been gone for the

400
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, but I did go through some

401
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: old shows. He's been a regular guest on this show

402
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: for years. He was a friend of mine. I love

403
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: the guy, Rob Reiner. I mean he's completely insane politically,

404
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: completely nuts childish as when it comes to politics. But

405
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: aside from that, he was a brilliant director, producer and

406
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: a great I used to just he's like me, just

407
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: studies old show business and all the great old comedians

408
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: and shows, and that's mostly what we would talk about.

409
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: But when we come back, a conversation with Rob Brian,

410
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: if you want to hear the real hymn you'll hear

411
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: it next on seven to ten wr in Mark on

412
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: Demand by setting a preset for his podcast on the

413
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app.

414
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: Now back to Mark Simone on War.

415
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Well, the terrible, tragic Rob Reiner situation. So it happened

416
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: while I was on when it happened that week, so

417
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: I guess that's three weeks ago, this horrible situation. But

418
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner in real life a great guy. Now, a

419
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: lot of these people that are completely nuts when it

420
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: comes to politics, I mean raving lunatics, and Rob Reiner

421
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: became one of them. They just it's like in your

422
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: own family, you know, when you get together for Thanksgiving,

423
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: a Christmas, the whole family gets together, and you got

424
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: an uncle or a cousin or somebody who's a crazy

425
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: left wing and you get into these fights with them.

426
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: But aside from that, they're normal, nice people that you

427
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: like a lot. But when it comes to politics, they're crazy.

428
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: They're just childish, just nuts, the over the top crazy

429
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: when it comes to politics. So Rob Reiner used to

430
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: be a regular guest on the show. We lost a

431
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of regular guests when Trump came along. We don't

432
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: need to mention all the names, but there were a

433
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: lot of people that were regular guests on this show,

434
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: but that kind of stopped in twenty sixteen Donald Trump

435
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: took over. That was the end of those. A lot

436
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: of them we just couldn't put on anymore, or they

437
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: got so mad at us that they would come on,

438
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: and so that was the end of that. But Rob Reiner,

439
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: I just want you to hear this interview. This I

440
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: just went back and found an interview from a few

441
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: years ago, just right before Trump. But a good guy

442
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: in real life, and again, take away the politics. He

443
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: was a normal, nice guy. He was a brilliant director, writer, producer, actor.

444
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 1: So here is a conversation with Rob Reiner. Well with

445
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: us right now is what a talented guy, what a

446
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: career he's had. I'd call him a legend, but he's

447
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: way too young for that. But what a brilliant director,

448
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: a writer, performer. Rob Reiner is with us and it's

449
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: great to have him on the show. Rob Reiner, how

450
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: are you hi?

451
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: Mark, Thank you very much, and thank you for calling

452
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: me too young.

453
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know you're one of those guys. Years from now,

454
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: when you're an old guy, you're going to be the

455
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: living legend. They're going to be doing these tributes to you,

456
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: and well you know what I mean.

457
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I'm in my sixties, so I consider myself

458
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: a very very young old person.

459
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but years ago, sixty was an old guy. Today

460
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: it's nothing.

461
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: Oh I love I love hearing that.

462
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: So or it's either Rob Ryner. The new movie is

463
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: called Flipped. There's no better subject ever than that first love.

464
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: And you obviously when you made this, so somebody was

465
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: in your mind, some some first love of yours.

466
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 2: Well it was I mean when I when I was

467
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: twelve going on thirteen, it was Kathy shrill.

468
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 9: Oh.

469
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: And she she was adorable. She looked like Hayley Mills

470
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: and the old parent trap.

471
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 7: You know.

472
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: She had the blonde, curly hair, kind of a tomboy.

473
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: And we exchanged id bracelets. And I remember when I

474
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: went to first kiss her, she hit me with a

475
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: hair brush. And see that's that's when I knew it

476
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: was true love, because I was willing to endure pain

477
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 2: in order to get a kiss.

478
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: You ever go in like Facebook to see what where

479
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: Kathy Shrillo is today.

480
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: No, I haven't done it, you know, but I do

481
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: pass by her house every once in a while. It's

482
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: about two blocks from where I work now, and it's

483
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: actually just to remember that time when I was in love,

484
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: and you never forget that. You never forget your first love.

485
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: So you're not curious to see if she now looks

486
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: like Madeline allbre something there.

487
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know, don't do that to me.

488
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, no kid wants to learn anything in school,

489
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: but the one thing we all wanted to learn was

490
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: how to talk to a girl. And it's one thing

491
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: no one ever could.

492
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: Teach you, I know, I mean I think that, you know,

493
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: to this day. You know, even as adults, men are

494
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: just totally clueless when it comes. I mean, we spend

495
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: our entire lives trying to figure out, you know, what

496
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: we should be doing with women, and hopefully they're trying

497
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: to figure out what to do with us, because you know,

498
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: it just doesn't get any easier. I don't think.

499
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's tough, you know, like even a guy

500
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: like you in Hollywood it must have been tough as

501
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: the young guy. And then even if you get to

502
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: all in the family year though the biggest stars in

503
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: the world, it was no easier to approach a woman.

504
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: It never is. It never is, and I you know,

505
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: I keep making the same film over and over again,

506
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: trying to figure it out. I mean, essentially, the girl

507
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: is always so much more mature, She has much more

508
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: of a sense of herself and very settled with her.

509
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: And the boy is always running around like an idiot

510
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's going on, and he's usually dragged,

511
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: kicking and screaming into maturity by the girl.

512
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: So and Rob Reyner look at these films. If you

513
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: if you had just made any one of these, you'd

514
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: be your legend. But from a few good men to

515
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: Misery to when Harry met Sally and stand by me, now, Misery,

516
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: what were you? What were you reflecting on there?

517
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 2: Well that you know, oddly enough, it sounds weird for

518
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: me to be making a film like that. But at

519
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: the time, you know, I, when I became a director,

520
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: I the people from television just were not thought of

521
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 2: as being movie people. We were looked down upon like

522
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: second class citizens and you know, the lesser of you know,

523
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 2: the lesser show business people. And so it was hard

524
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: for me to make the transition to become a director.

525
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: And I related to the guy in the in the

526
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: movie who was a success doing one kind of thing,

527
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: who wanted to do something else and was being held

528
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: down by these fans that wanted to keep them trapped

529
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: in that one, you know, one area. So I kind

530
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: of related to that character.

531
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: I got to be honest. There are scenes in Misery

532
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: I cannot watch certain moments.

533
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 2: I can't look at you and you have a problem

534
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 2: with that ankle break, I can't what would you? Are

535
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: you a w yes?

536
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: How did you look at it? Take after it takes?

537
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 9: Oh?

538
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: No, well, you know, I mean wow, because I know

539
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: what went into it. I know we didn't actually break

540
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: his ankle, so I but it is. It is pretty gruesome,

541
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: and most people have When we first screened it, people

542
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: were just whoa, they wouldn't feel crazy.

543
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: Rob Bryan are one of the great directors in the world.

544
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: What's tougher to direct a guy like Jack Nicholson or

545
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: one of these kids in the movie?

546
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: You know, Jack's gonna kill me Jack? No, they're both.

547
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: They're all professionals. I mean, oddly enough, these two kids

548
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: were as developed as any adult I've ever worked with.

549
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: So you know, when I did stand by Me, it

550
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: was it was tougher because the kids were not as experienced,

551
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: and some of them hadn't never acted before, but in

552
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: this case, the kids were Their craft was as developed

553
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: as any adult I've worked with. So I would say

554
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: even even between Jack Nicholson and the kids.

555
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: Wow. But so you've got such a track record of

556
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: the guys like you, very few, but guys like you

557
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: who everything they pick, every project, it's brilliant, it's great,

558
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: it's this. And then you get other guys who even

559
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: top stars, who one movie's great and one movie is

560
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. You wonder what made them even do it?

561
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: What does that all come from?

562
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's just instinct. You have an indut Listen.

563
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: I've had some flops too, you know, everybody does. You know,

564
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: it's just an instinct. You go with what you think

565
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: you like and hopefully the audience likes it. And you know,

566
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: I've been lucky more often than not that the audience

567
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: did like what I liked.

568
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: Now we're talking with Rob Reiner. Let me ask you

569
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: all in the family question. We were arguing about this before.

570
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: It was a revolutionary breakthrough. Show is brilliant, But what

571
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: we were saying was you couldn't do that show today.

572
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: You would never get it on the air.

573
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: No, No, we're living in two PC a world for

574
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: that for that to happen. And I think also attitudes

575
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: have changed. I mean it's not to say we couldn't

576
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: have a show where there was the issues of the

577
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: day debated. You know, we are living in a very

578
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: divided country, you know, red state, blue state and all that.

579
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: But I think the argument would not be there would

580
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: be a little bit more PC. I mean, the racism

581
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: has not completely gone away, but obviously we have elected

582
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: a black president and so things have changed dramatically since

583
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: the early seventies, but they raised, you know, the arguments

584
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: would be much more muted. I think.

585
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. And even if normally were trying to use Archie

586
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: Bunker to expose what was wrong today, you'd have sponsored

587
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: boycots you have everything.

588
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, no, you couldn't. You couldn't have that

589
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: kind of And people don't really talk like that now.

590
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean it's changed a lot. I mean people may

591
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: still feel those things, but they are at least smart.

592
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: Unless you're law as Lessenger, then you don't know that

593
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: you shouldn't talk like that.

594
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: Who's that doctor Laura?

595
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

596
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: Don't you remember I know her last name? Yeah, doctor Laura?

597
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: Yea Yeah, No, she pulled the N word out of

598
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: the hat there and basically joined the long line of

599
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: people who have destroyed their careers.

600
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, she seemed like a combination Archie and Edith Bunker

601
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: all at once.

602
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: There you go.

603
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: Hit makes you one with because you were talking about

604
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: your judgment you're great at. So this this company you formed,

605
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: castle Rock. Yeah, every time we see something brilliant, even Seinfeld,

606
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: there's that name castle Rock at the end of it.

607
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. We named it actually after the town in stand

608
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,239
Speaker 2: By Me, which was Stephen King's creation. You know. It

609
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: was the stand by Me was taken from a Stephen

610
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: King novella called The Body, And so I loved making

611
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: that movie. It meant so much to me, like Flipped,

612
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: and they're very similar in that way. And so we

613
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: named our company that. And we've been around the twenty

614
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: three years now. We've made like over one hundred movies.

615
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Wow, and you're in part responsible for Seinfeld.

616
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: Yes, that was our That was our TV show that

617
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: we that we produced, and we you know, we're very

618
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: proud of a lot of the films. I mean, we

619
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: had Shoushank Redemption, which was one of our favorite films

620
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: that we've done, and it's been, you know, on all

621
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: these top ten lists, and so we've done. We're very

622
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: happy with what we've done.

623
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Wow, amazing career. And I guess it runs in the

624
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: family too, because normally when there's a great a guy

625
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: like your father, the son's never quite as good. But

626
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: in this case, yeah, you know.

627
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: It's funny that you mentioned that, because I've had this

628
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: conversation with Michael Douglas. You know, on a number of occasions,

629
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: if very few, you can count them on one hand

630
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: of the children of very successful people in show business

631
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: who you know, achieved at at a very high level,

632
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: whose children have survived and done well. I mean it's

633
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: a small small list.

634
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean usually it's more, I hit to say

635
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: it like a Frank Sinudther junior kind of deal. And

636
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: so you must have worried about that, the comparison I did.

637
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's it's a tough road to hoe.

638
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: And but my dad tells this story all the time,

639
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: and I don't remember it, but he tells it. When

640
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: I was eight years old, apparently I went up to

641
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: him and you know, I said, Dad, I want to

642
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: change my name, and he got all worried. He thought

643
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god. This poor kid is worried about having

644
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: to live up to the you know, to Carl Reiner

645
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. And so he said, well, what

646
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: do you want to change your name to? And I said,

647
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: Carl Basically, I love being a Yaner and I just

648
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: wanted to be like him, you know, I just I

649
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: loved him so much, and I looked up to him

650
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: so much. I just wanted to be him.

651
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: So now you have to have a child that's going

652
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: to take over the family business.

653
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. And I have three kids, and

654
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what they're gonna do. But

655
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: whatever they choose, and as long as they're happy in

656
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: doing what they like, I'm I'm happy.

657
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, Rob Reiner, congratulations on an absolutely amazing career

658
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: and keep up all the good work.

659
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me Mark.

660
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: All right, take care? Okay, byeye, Well, Rob Reyner a

661
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, do you hear that part at

662
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: the end, we're talking about his kids. So he said,

663
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: I have three kids. I don't know what they're gonna do. WHOA.

664
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: So anyway, the son, Nick Reiner in custody, he'll go

665
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: to trial. They've both sides have asked to delay it.

666
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: So normally be happening this week, it's going to be

667
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: towards the end of the month they'll start. Nobody knows

668
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: what the son will plead. Could be not guilty, could

669
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: be insanity. You know, these drugs they put kids on

670
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: that have all kinds of mental troubles the side effects,

671
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: and it says right in the side effects these psychotropic drugs,

672
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: it says could cause homicidal behavior, suicidal behavior, could cause

673
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff like that. So they may go

674
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: after that use that as the defense that it was

675
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: the drugs that did this to them. But we'll see.

676
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: Today's the anniversary one year anniversary of congestion pricing. You know,

677
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats yell and scream about affordability, then they hit

678
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: you with congestion pricing, which affects a lot of people working.

679
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: People the drive trucks or cabs or stuff like that,

680
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: or need to commute in the middle of the night

681
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. So a year anniversary and today

682
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: the MTA tolls go up. Fair hike MTA fair hike

683
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: begins today. So this is of course typical you know,

684
00:34:54,080 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: democratic left wing socialist definitely, you know totally hypocritical, yelling

685
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: about afford to building and then raising the price on everything. Now,

686
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: where's Mum Donnie on this? Why is he g gotten rid

687
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: of the congestion pricing? Why is he speaking of about

688
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: this toll increase which affects everybody? You know, the MTA

689
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: raising the tolls. It doesn't affect a lot of billionaires.

690
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: It really doesn't bother them at all. It's people that

691
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: are working hard or struggling, that's who suffers from this.

692
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: But not a word from Mom Donnie about it. His

693
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: inauguration a mess. Hey Curtis was there at the inauguration.

694
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was there, but left in the middle. Typical

695
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: rude Chuck Schumer just left right in the middle. Mandy

696
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: Patinkin performed there. If you love Mandy Patinkin, think twice

697
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: about it. Nobody worked harder to get Mum Donnie elected

698
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: than this lunatic Mandy Patinkin. Anyway, we got a lot

699
