• 1:09
  Speaker 2: night he was he and his wife were supposed to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: have dinner with Michelle and Barack Obama. They were supposed
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to have dinner that night. And that's quite a I

• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you get a call, Hey, we're gonna have to cancel.

• 1:38
  Speaker 2: What dad? You know, the was stepped throat slit. They
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: can't come to dinner. I mean, what a shock that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: must have been. Now all sorts of stuff is coming
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: out as we know now it looks like it's Nick
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Reiner the Sun. The night before, there's a big Christmas
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: party thrown by Conan O'Brien and I don't know why
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Rob Ryer and his wife are going to the party.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: They brought a couple of the kids. I don't know
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: why they brought the son Nick or why he was there,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: because everybody said he clearly didn't fit in, didn't want
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to be there. It was, you know, a nice fancy
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Christmas party with everybody dressed up, and Nick Ryner shows
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: up with a hoodie. You know, it's like a sweatsuit
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and a hoodie with the hood up over his head,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: looking very very out of place, also in the middle
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of the crowd, looking very angry, like he didn't want
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to be there. He didn't like this, he resented this,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and whenever he would look at anybody or talk to him,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it was always with an angry look. And he they said,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: some people he went around said, are you famous? Are
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you famous? So he just, you know, for a kid
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: with all kinds of mental problems to be in a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: very agitated state and to be in this room was
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a little bizarre. And then at some point he got
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: into a fight with his father and just freaked out
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: completely and starts yelling and screaming, and the father starts
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: yelling and screaming back. And this is in the middle
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of the party. I mean, it was a very loud,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: screaming argument that went on for a long time, freaking
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: out everybody else in the party. So at some point
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the kid left, and then Rob Reiner and his wife,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: realizing they had totally ruined the party and upset everybody,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they left as well. Now we now know that the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: kid left the party and did something. For a few hours.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: He was living, apparently in a guest house on the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Rob Reiner estate. On the compound. There's a guest house.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He was living there, but he may have gone back
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: there to get some things, but he didn't stay there. Instead,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: later that night, in the middle of the night, actually
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: about four in the morning, he checked into a motel
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: in Santa Monica. So he left bread went to Santa Monica.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Checked into this hotel at about four in the morning.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The staff thought that he looked a little well, let's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: just say, wound up a little nutty. But you know
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: who checks into a Hollywood hotel at four in the morning,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: but a nutty looking guy in a hoodie. So he
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: checked in and then it was the next day. He
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: was still probably all crazed over the fight whatever that was.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: The next day, went back to Rob Reiner's house, had
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: an extremely loud argument. The daughter could hear it from
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: she was also living in another guesthouse on the property.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: She could hear the argument and it went on for
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a while, and then I guess it stopped, and that's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: why she decided to go check on her parents and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: she found them dead. Imagine the daughter goes in and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: finds them dead, their throat slit, blood everywhere, was just awful.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: She immediately calls the police. And then I didn't realize
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that really, really, the family was really close to Billy
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Crystal and his wife. So as soon as she calls
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the police and hangs up, she then immediately calls Billy
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Crystal and tells him what's happened. He and his wife
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: jump in the car and race over to Rob Reiner's
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: house and get there about the same time as the police.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So they came in as the police are getting there.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So Billy Crystal and his wife as they come in,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: see the bodies on the floor, the throat slit, the blood,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: every it must have been just horrifying. And that's why
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: reporters said when they saw Billy Crystal come out of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the house, he and his wife were very shaken up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: We're crying and so imagine this is your close friend.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You see the bodies like that. So the police are there,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a huge response from the police department. And then she,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the daughter, tells them, you got to look at the sun.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: He's crazy. He's got a history of violent, crazy behavior,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and they've had a big fight. I heard fighting something.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: She tells them to look for him. They go look
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: for him. It took a while to find him. They
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: finally released the pictures of them arresting him. I think
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: he was at a train station or a bus station.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: They find him, arrest him. You can see a picture
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of him being thrown to the ground and handcuffed and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: then pushed up against the car frisked, I guess, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: then they throw him in the car. He's a troubled kid.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He's been in rehab over seventeen times since the age
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of fifteen. They've talked before about whether or not he
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: was a danger, and you know, experts will tell you
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that these kind of situations, the family never fully understands
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the danger. They always underestimate the violent danger of the kid.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: This doesn't just start the day before yesterday, So there
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: was ongoing issues between them. And when I've seen cases
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: like this in the past, oftentimes the family underestimates the
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: potential of their loved one in terms of what they
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: could do to them. But I think we're going to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: see the patterns begin to come to the surface over time,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: because that is a lot of anger.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of rage.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It doesn't just start on the night of the attack.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So the police find out the kid, Nick Reiner, was
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in a hotel room. They go to the hotel and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they find the hotel room is got blood everywhere. There's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: blood on the sheets, There's blood everywhere in this hotel room.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And he had taken some sheets and put them up
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: over the window to cover the windows, and then there's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: blood all over the hotel room. Now, what could you
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: be doing in there that would cause all this blood?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And he might say, well, when he was stabbing his
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: mother and father, he might have gotten blood all over him,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: but when he checked in, they didn't see blood all
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: over him. So who knows what he did in that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: room to cause all that blood to be everywhere. The
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: kid obviously completely psycho, just literally just a raging maniac.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So he's under arrest, he's in custody, he's on suicide
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: watch right now. Believe he's suicidal. He's being held in isolation.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: He's now being Originally there was bail, he's now being
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: held without bail. There is no bail, and he's on
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: suicide watch. Rob Reiner, the friend's family, they say they
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: family did everything they could for this kid. The problem is,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think they fully understood how dangerous the situation
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: was and that they probably had to have this kid
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: committed in some kind of mental institution. But when you're
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: wealthy in hollywoodish, you know, sometimes you're you're not really
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: very realistic about things. And to let this kid live,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you know, in your guest house and let them just
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: be free in but somebody should have realized this kid
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: needed to be committed. I mean, obviously now we know
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: he needed to be committed. So but they said they
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: spared no expense in trying to rehabilitate them countless facilities.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes these these are these Hollywood rehabs.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Then aren't that great? You know, you see everybody that
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: goes to these Hollywood rehab centers, every Charlie Sheen type.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen anybody actually cured? Not really, not
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a lot. So it's just a horrible situation. Now, Rob Reiner,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: he was great and all in the family. You know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you got back check out my Twitter. There's some clips
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: up there, but you can see there were moments of
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: really great acting there. Then he goes on to be
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a director. I think Spinal Tap was first, but when
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you look back on his history as a director, producer
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: making films, it's an incredible career. He was just brilliant
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: at it, brilliant at it. Misery a few good men.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: When Harry met Sally, I mean he was incredible a
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: director and producer, great, great talent, and you got to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: give him credit. For Seinfeld, it was his company castle Rock,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: which you named it after a town in Maine. Castle
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Rock produced signed and nobody remembers this. But Seinfeld didn't
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: do very well the first couple of years, and after
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the first year, NBC was going to cancel it, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Jerry Seinfeld said, he owes everything to Rob Reiner. Rob
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Reiner went to NBC and yelled and screamed and cried
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and pleaded and begged for them to give Seinfeld another season,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: give it another chance. It'll come together, and it worked.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: He kept it on the air. They were going to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: cancel it the first season, second season they were going
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to cancel it. It was Rob Reiner that went and fought
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and screamed, apparently gotten a huge screaming fights with NBC
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: president Brandon Tartakoff, and he kept Seinfeld on the air.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And Seinfeld yesterday said, if it wasn't for Rob Reiner,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't have happened. Seinfeld wouldn't have happened. Now he
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: turned out to be right. Seinfeld went on to be
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the biggest show in television for seven eight years. It
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: went on to be the biggest show in syndication, making
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: over a billion dollars. Everybody made a fortune, and one
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of the guys that made some of that money was
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Steve Bannon. Believe it or not, an unknown Steve Bannon
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: at the time, who had come from Goldman Sachs, was
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: one of the investors in Castle Rock, and then when
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: they sold Castle Rock, he advised people to keep a
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: percentage of the show, and they gave him a percentage.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: So to this day, Steve Bannon makes a lot of
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: money in payments off the syndication of Seinfeld, which always
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: upset the hell out of Rob Reiner. Drove nuts that
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Bannon was profiting from this. There are other people. James
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Woods was on TV last night talking about how when
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: his career was over, he was finished, it was Rob
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Reiner that believed in him gave him a part in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the movie. Studio said absolutely not, that guy's washed up. Again.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Rob Reiner went and fought for him, got him the part,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and he ended up getting an Academy Award nomination for it. So,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I mean Rob Reiner's father was the same way. You know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the Dick Van Dyke Show was canceled after the first year.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: At that time it was the greatest went on to
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: be the greatest sitcom of the early sixties, but it
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: was canceled after the first year. Carl Reiner got on
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a plane flew to Ohio to meet with the sponsor.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Johnson and Johnson, one of the big big
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: companies was the sponsor. He went and saw them, burst
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: into their office, yelled and screamed, begged and pleaded, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: somehow convinced him to just give it one more season,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and sure enough it went on to become huge. So
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Rob Reiner must have remembered all that did the same
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: thing for Seinfeld. And if you watch the Dick Van
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Dyke Show, it's about the comedy writer of the big
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: variety TV show who lives in Newest Shell and he's
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: got a son. Well, that was Rob Reiner. Carl Reiner
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: wrote that show based on his real life, and that
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: was Rob Reiner. Grew up in the same kind of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: house with the Rob Petrie and Newest Schell at that time.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: His father was actually Carl Reiner and he was writing
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: for Sid Caesar. But it's an amazing story Now, this
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: is a horrible tragedy, the most awful tragedy imaginable. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: then President Trump tweets out I don't have in front
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: of me, but he just said Rob Reiner was a deranged,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: you know, maniac with Trump derangement syndrome. He was spewing
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: hatred all the time.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: He said basically something about the hateful energy they put out,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the hate, the rage must have infected other people around him. Now,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you're not supposed to do that in a tragedy like this.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: You're the president of the United States. You're supposed to
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: be very, very very gracious. But that's not Donald Trump. Now,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: if for me, I would have been gracious about it,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: or I would have just let it go, not say it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But that's not Donald Trump. So it upset a lot
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of people that he attacked Rob Reiner in death. But yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of course, all the Hollywood people tweeting furiously all night
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: about how Trump is obviously and this is one of them,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: said the twenty fifth Amendment. CNN, MSNBC and even Fox
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Fox News panels, you know, totally denounced Trump for doing that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: And they're right, they're not wrong. I mean, Fox is
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: a classic place they would never do anything like that.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I would never do anything like that. But that's Donald Trump.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: That's what he does. That's what he's always done, that's
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: what he'll continue to do. For a number of reasons. One,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: he has absolutely no filter. He will always say what
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: he really thinks. Now, if you do that in this situation, boy,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be the You're gonna get bombarded. But he
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: also loves to be the lead story of the day.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: And with this Rob Reiner stuff, you know, nobody would
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: think of him. It would just all be about Robert.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: So he puts himself right back on top of the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: of the news. That's one reason he does it. Again,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it's not right to do it. I wouldn't do it,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: but I understand why he does it. And you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: you can't say, hey, don't do this, don't do that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: The guy's the most successful guy in the world. Who's
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: to tell him what to do? And I've seen this before.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of Trump is based on Frank Sinatra.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: He was a big studier of Frank Sinatra. I used
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: to talk to him about this years ago. Sinatra techniques, methods,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the way that was Sinatra. Soho had no filter, he
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: would and he Sinatra was in the same situation. Earlier
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: in his career. There was a guy named Lee Mortimer.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: He was the biggest columnist and he wrote the most
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: vicious things about Frank Sinatra. Vicious. He tried to tie
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: him to the mob. That's where actually all that mafia
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: stuff started from Lee Mortimer's columns. He tried to get
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the guy just, you know, just totally disavowed by Holly.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody went after more than this columnist Lee Mortimer.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Sinatra SAWMWZ in the restaurant, punched him right in the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: face and was put on trial. He was actually convicted
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of assault, but Sinatra was so powerful that he managed
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to avoid jail. Instead, he had to pay a fifteen
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars fine, which was a fortune back then, and
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: for the rest of his life, Sinatra carried in his
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: pocket a certified check for fifteen thousand dollars. He said,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: if I ever see that guy, I'm gonna punch him
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: again and hand him the check. But years later, Lee
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Mortimer died and he was a big columnist in America.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Said there was a huge funeral, and Sinatra didn't go
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to the funeral. But later that night, at about two
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in the morning, he brought a lot of friends to
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the cemetery in the dark, in the middle of the night.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: He wanted them to watch as he pissed on the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: grave of Lee Mortimer. So that's Trump, that's Sinatra. There's
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of similarities. They just there was nothing phony

  Speaker 6: very much for another year of putting a smile on
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: my face and bringing Vincent into my life.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Oh well, thank you for listening. Thank you for being
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: our number one fan in Nevada.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: There.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Thanks for everything. Let's go to Vic and Pennsylvania. Vick,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: how you doing. I'm doing fine, Mark, Mark.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: You know, Trump should have said, do you attack that Rob.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Ryan did on Rush Limbaugh when he was when he
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: gave him the Medal of Freedom and with jam and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the day after he died. It's verifiable. It's really terrible
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the things.
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: That he said.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Actually, if you go to
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: my Twitter, there's a little montage up there of the vile, disgusting, ugly,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: horrifying hatefield things Rob Reiner used to post on Twitter,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of them. It was really ugly hatefield stuff. Now,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: if you're the president, you're not supposed to say bad
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: things in a tragedy like this. But if the guy
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: wrote the most ugly, vicious, awful stuff about you day
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and night for years, you know, and for all the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: people who say I could talk about Donald Trump say that,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: how could he post that? While when Donald Trump said,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: well where were you? And Rob Reiner was doing it
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: every second, all day and night. Let's go to Grace
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: in Rockland County. Grace, how you doing.
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: I'm doing excellently, Mark. That monologue was wonderful. It was
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: so entertaining and I learned so much.
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: That's why you're such a radio personality.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Oh thanks. Thoughts about stabbing and death and throat slit,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't call that entertaining.
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: No, what you said about Sinatra and the come on
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: it was excellent. I learned so much. Listen. But as
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: far as Trump, okay, they can hold up a seven head.
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: They could wish him dead. Two people could have tried
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: to shoot him. You know the double standard we are.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: We have crossed the line unfortunately to cibility. And I
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: don't care that president is right. If you're giving a punch,
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: you have to be willing to take it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: All right, that's a good way to put it. Let's
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: go to Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: I'm very well. Thank you, Mark, thank you for taking
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: my cough. I would like to know why Fox puts
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: all ways just my crodcast on the television, then making
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: her a household name.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I mean that every news out let's do it. It's news.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: They cut news.
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: But also she's kind of stupid and goofy and silly.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: It's fun to talk about her. It makes the Democrats
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: look bad too. To have this.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: I know that they tried to talk a bed about her,
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: but you know it's such they make another household name.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you know one thing about that Fox News, it's
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: number one. It gets more viewers than MSNBC, CNN, Calbert Kimmel,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: everybody combined. It's very successful. So I think they know
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. I think whatever the formula is, it's working.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: Good morning mal Good morning Mara. Unfortunately, at the expense
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: of his parents' lives, this kid, Nick will finally get straight. Unfortunately,
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: during the course of my life, I've known a lot
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: of junkies who will like Nick. Look at Twainne Dolbman.
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: How many times excuse me, Greg Albman, how many times
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: was he in rehab? I think seventeen times and seventeen times.
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: Failed junkies like this kid. That's the only way they
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: get straight. This kid is going to be in prison
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: for the rest of his life for a mental institution now. Unfortunately, uh,
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: fortunately for him and unfortunately for his parents, he'll get straight.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: I've known a lot of people like that. I knew
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: a woman who used to beg the cops to arrest
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: her son. He was such a degenerate junkie. That being said, Mark,
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: I have to say, and Trump's should have been above
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: the fray. He should have just just said, my condolences
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: go out to the family. I don't care whether it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: filter or no filter, Sinatra or not Sinatra. In my opinion,
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: that's low rent exactly.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course your low rent. Of course you said,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: of course, but it's ten years now. You got to
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: remember going to be above the fray.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: It's not gonna We understand, we understand what Rob Branan did,
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: but this is your talking about a kid, a father
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: and a mother that just got That's all I want
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: to say to.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Me, mother, be honest, though your worst enemy ever in
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the world, the guy that did Morris said more horrible things,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the worst enemy. He's dead. Somebody tells you, don't you
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: say good, I'm glad he did something.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: No, you don't. As a Catholic, and I haven't been.
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: My mother would always would say, show you above the fray.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: Show you not, as we say in Italian cafe, Franks
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: are not for doing what he did. That was also,
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: in my opinion, that was a low red no you're right.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Of course you're right. But some guys don't want to
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: be above the fray. They want to be the fray.
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: They when he did that, how many of this detractors said,
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: you see, I told you. That's all I want to say.
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: Thanks Fox, All.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Right, Vincent, of course you're right, Thanks for calling.
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Rhnda Sheer will be with us now.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she knew Rob Reiner in all her Hollywood years.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: We'll ask her about that and a lot of other stuff.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly not here today. He'll be here tomorrow. He
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: had a switch day, so he'll be here tomorrow. But
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: we'll get to Rnda shere next on seven ten wr.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone wr.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Well, rondare you know she's back with the up all night?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: It's better than ever. And of course, Ronda Shere the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: fashion queen, fashion Empire. You go to Rhondasheer dot com
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and of course follow her on Instagram and the Twitter
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and all of that. Rhonda Shear, how you doing?
• 23:34
  Speaker 12: I am disturbed, but I'm I'm really fine. I'm taking
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: a little winter vacation in North Carolina right now, in
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: the mountains, so away from the crazy. But I do
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: have to talk to you about this whole murder.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: It's horrible.
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: I I really feel like you can't fix a child
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: like that. And I wonder if a lot of times
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: that Rob Reiner's just rapped and the Trump talk was
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: his own distraction away from the mental illness and the
• 24:05
  Speaker 12: problems that that child had from the time he was
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: a child. Because you know, they threw a lot of
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: money at it, obviously, and they do what Hollywood people
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: do and put him in rehab.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: There's no fixing him.
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: If you looked at him in the many, many interviews
• 24:20
  Speaker 12: that he had with his dad, especially when they were
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: promoting the film Charlie, his eyes darting around, and the
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: way he looked at his father with disdain. I mean,
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: I think that he was very, very jealous of his dad.
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: He couldn't live up, you know, to his siblings and
• 24:38
  Speaker 12: or his father's success.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Well, a lot of that happens and the Hollywood.
• 24:41
  Speaker 12: You've heard a lot of these kids even committing suicide
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: that couldn't live up to their parents' fame. And I
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: think that he totally, you know, couldn't live up to it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 12: Turned to drugs at a very very young age, and
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: addictive personality. The thing is that parents, and I've had
• 24:55
  Speaker 12: this discussion with so many people, you know, I do
• 24:57
  Speaker 12: a podcast and parents, you know, they see it, but
• 25:02
  Speaker 12: they don't want to put their kid away. And yeah,
• 25:04
  Speaker 12: he should have been in a mental institution if they
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: have any of those anymore, but who's going to admit that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: So they feel like if they kept him close, brought
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: him to the parties, that's why he was at that
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: party in a hoodie and bringing him there. They want
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: him close, they know they want him close and nearby,
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: and that that family was a very close knit family.
• 25:22
  Speaker 12: But he was very damaged, very damaged, and probably very violent.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: I have a little bit of that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 12: Actually have somebody in my own family, not violent, but
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: similar kind of story that still lives with you know.
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: Actually my brother's son in his forties still lives at
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: home and has you know, just been very damaged and
• 25:40
  Speaker 12: there's no fixing it. It's very sad and what do
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: you do now? Because he is or those people can
• 25:47
  Speaker 12: not only hurt themselves and or hurt others. But these
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: are the people we read about later on the commit
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: mass murders and shootings or what have you. But this
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: is just you know, beyond tragedy. And I looked up
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: because the curiosity in terms of who the murders of
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: all the murders of the past in Hollywood, just in murders,
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: there's no doubt Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle are
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: the most famous, most iconic of all. I mean, yes,
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: there was you know, Sharon Kate, you know, going back,
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: there was a you know, different murders of the years,
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: but nobody of this. This is this is beyond shocking.
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: And we're going to hear about this for a long
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: long time. But will it change anything with these kids,
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: especially kids of Hollywood, not especially, but it should shine
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: a be light on it, and it won't.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but friends of the family say either were They
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to describe it or talk about it, but
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: they said they were earlier violent incidents.
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: So yeah, well yes all the way. Since I mean
• 26:42
  Speaker 12: I was reading about the yoga instruction. My mom had
• 26:44
  Speaker 12: him as a child, going to yoga and she would
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: teach them acrobatics and and but she could tell even
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: as a child.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, let's face it, mental illness.
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: You know, you can be born with mental illness, you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: And and then how it Manifes asked of course, then
• 27:01
  Speaker 12: taking drugs and he was drugged up on he admittedly
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: on cocaine and heroin, and he had violent incidents at
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: the house where he he crashed his hand for.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: A TV set.
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: I mean, who and didn't even remember it. So it
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: is curious you brought up the timeline about the hotel
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: and I had read that, but I thought that was
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: before the murders. But they say he checked into the
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: hotel before the murders. So where was the blood? Was
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: he trying to self harm himself that law come out?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, it was. It was the night
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: of the party. It was before the.
• 27:29
  Speaker 12: Murder, the night of the party. So was he trying
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: to slit his own resks?
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: He probably?
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: I mean, you can't be and you can't We can't
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: be rationalized or rationalize it because we can't think like him,
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: because there is no rationalizing, especially if he did end
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: up during drugs that night and at the party. I'm sure,
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: I'm sure that went on. They say it went on
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: in the sets. And Rob Ronner and his wife were loving, loving,
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: loving people in terms of family.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking about the politics.
• 27:54
  Speaker 12: I know about all the politics, but you know they
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: were loving, kept their kids really close, were great parents.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: But what do you do with a son that you
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: know or.
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: Daughter or a child that you know his issues, but
• 28:05
  Speaker 12: you don't want to believe that he could kill anyone
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: of her himself. And that's why they had him living
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: there probably or kill you, you know. I mean it
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: is it is just very eye opening and and it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Is partially what's going on.
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: The drugs have gotten stronger, the video games have gotten
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: you know, crazier and more violence. I think these kids,
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: these mass shootings, think they're acting out on video games,
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: you know, Charlie Christ shooter. I really it's just I know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: I'm more serious today, but very deeply disturbed.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: I did not know Rob Reiner. I knew everybody around.
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: I worked with Teddy Marshall, I worked with all those people.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I knew his dad.
• 28:42
  Speaker 12: I mean not well, but I you know, my early
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: sitcom stints out in LA like Happy Days, that was
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: a whole group normally, you know, normally all those people
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: were really close friends, but it never actually met.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I used to talk to Rob Reiner a lot. Will
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: you always talk about old comedians and old show business? Yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: it's amazing, very warm, warm, yes. Love. So how does
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the guy that's sweet, that warm. How does it become
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: such a crazy, hate filled you know when it comes
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: to politics. How does that work?
• 29:12
  Speaker 12: Well, I can tell you I have one in my
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: own family.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: So you talked about this.
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: We all came from the same family for siblings, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: I have an older brother who writes me the most
• 29:22
  Speaker 12: vitriolic words that you can't even I mean tearing, like
• 29:27
  Speaker 12: gut wrenching, knife turning words about me and my husband.
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: And then my husband turned me into you know, a
• 29:33
  Speaker 12: Republican and a trunk fan.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: I mean just but that's.
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: Nothing I mean, but the words that come out of
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: his mouth. And we were my family, oh my gosh,
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: the most loving, loving family. And I also think though
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: my brother's the one who has the son who's got problems?
• 29:47
  Speaker 12: Is it or was it a distraction for Rob Reiner
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: to then turn to politics to kind of like not,
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: I mean, you can't what do you do with that son?
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: It's almost his own distraction, Like they were saying, is
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: it a disraction that Trump was, you know, came out
• 30:04
  Speaker 12: with this Twitter because of all the other stuff that
• 30:05
  Speaker 12: he's going on.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: You don't know. We don't know, because we think like
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: rational people.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: You and I you know, Rob Ryder did a lot
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: of political work for many many years, did good work
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: for you know, money for kids programs, and he worked
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: with the governor and very fine political work.
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: But he also took off for the whole Charlie Christing,
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: he I mean I read about that.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: He was Charlie Kirk.
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: I'm so sorry.
• 30:27
  Speaker 12: I'm so sorry I got to get I'm thinking of
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: Florida politics right now, So sorry about that. But yeah,
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: I'm so disturbed today I can't think. But yes, Charlie
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: Kirk that he took up that and and was like
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: very spoke about Erica and how she forgave the killer,
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: you know, because he's just a very forgiven person. So
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: he did not put it down when it came to that,
• 30:47
  Speaker 12: when it came to murder, or when it came to family,
• 30:50
  Speaker 12: he put the politics beside.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: He did have that other side.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Well, how come when he talked about Trump he would
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: go into such a rage.
• 30:58
  Speaker 12: Because I'm telling you, my own brother were born in
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: the same household, had the same parents.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Why does my brother like that.
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: I'm sure all of us know people that at some
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: point were very rational. Well, if I send you one
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: email from my brother you'd go, oh m rage and
• 31:12

• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, like just trying to take I mean, it's
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: like hard to believe. But I just think we've.
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: Seen a lot of that on social media, that people
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: feel like they can hide behind words now and not
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: acted out where we just saw it acted out in
• 31:45
  Speaker 12: real time.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: It's just very horrible.
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: I didn't mean to bring this up, but I have
• 31:48
  Speaker 12: to talk about it because it is like shocking and beyond.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I hate to say that we're out of time already.

• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot going on. So Nick Reiner, son of
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Rob Reiner, should be in court for his first court
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: appearance later today. We'll see what happens there. There were
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: other people at that party the night before the Conan
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: O'Brien Christmas party. Jane Fonda was there and she tweets
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Rob and Michelle Reiner were wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: always coming up with ideas for how to make the
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: world better kinder. Now that brings us back to the
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: question again. I talked to Rob Ryner a many many times.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: He was a warm, fun sweet guy. So why when
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: it came to the Trump derangement syndrome was he so vicious?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: If you look at my Twitter, there's a montage of
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: his tweets. I mean, they weren't just I don't like Trump,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I disagree with him on this. I don't think he's
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: right about this, or I hate when Trump does. They
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: were vicious the F word, cursing and screaming, calling him
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: an f and rapist of this, I mean, just the worst,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: hate filled And it's not just him. Many of these people,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: many Hollywood types that you know and love, and they're
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: lovable and sweet, and then when they get on the
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: subject of Trump, they become these raging, angry, vicious people.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: What is it about Trump that does that? I mean,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: we didn't like Joe Biden so much, but you didn't
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: get a rage about it. And he said, you know,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: he made fun of Biden bumping into walls and the
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: way he talked, and you hated his policy on the border,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: and he didn't like Biden's law fare. But you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't stay up all night raging about it. We
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: didn't get into a There wasn't smoke coming out of
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: your ears, phone coming out of your mouth in a
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: mad rage talking about him. We just didn't like that guy.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: But and again Rob Ryan is a good example of
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a very sweet, warm guy. Why how did he get
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: himself into such a rage about Trump? It's not just politics,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: As I was saying before he did a lot of
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: great work in politics. For many years before that, he
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: was working on programs for kids and children in trouble,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: and he worked with the governor of California, not Newsome,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: whoever it was back then, and the governor was so
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: impressed with his work he put him in the head
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: of a committee and a commission. And Rob Ryner would
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: flow to a Sacramento to meet with the governor every
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: month and did excellent work of political work. You know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: whether he agreed with her or not, but he was
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: very reasonable guy who talked reasonably. That had he'd run
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the committee and commission meetings. But when it came to Trump,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a raging maniac about it. I don't know what that's
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: just him again. You see this all over. Check out
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: some of your favorite stars on Facebook or Twitter or
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: they're like nuts when they talk about Trump. I don't know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: He just sets them off, and I don't nobody's ever
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: been able to really explain it. Now. Susie Wilds is
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the chief of staff in the White House. She's been excellent,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: best person Trump has had around him. She's been in
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: politics for a long time. She worked for DeSantis. She
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: worked in the Reagan administration back then she was Susie
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Summer all her father was Pat Summer. All Susie Great.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And she stays behind the scenes, she stays under the radar.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: She's not looking for any attention or publicity. But she
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: did this big interview with Vanity Fair where she sat
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: down with this big Vanity Fair writer for like eleven
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: hours and eleven different sessions. I don't know why. Now,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the guy does have a history of covering chiefs of
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: staff and has written extensively about them. But on the
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: other hand, the guy's a big Trump hater. It's Vanity Fair.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: He's a you know, left wing Trump arrangement syndrome type.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know why she sent down with him, but
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: she did, and a big, long interview has come out.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: There's stuff in there that people are a little surprised by.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: It just seemed like things she wouldn't want to say publicly.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: She said, you know, she's talking about JD. Vance. She said, wow,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: he was always a conspiracy theorist. And she's talking about revenge,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: you know, law Fair. And I've tried to get Trump
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: to stop the law Fair, to stop the revenge, stop
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: going after his enemies. And I tried to study, you know,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: why would you say this to Vanity Fair. Then at
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: one point she said, he's got an alcoholic personality in
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: that like an alcoholic when they're in that stage, they
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: think they can do anything. They believe they could get
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: away with anything, do anything. I mean, I don't know
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: why she would say this stuff. Now it wasn't an
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: off the record interview, or maybe it wasn't. The guy
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: violated it, but she hasn't said that. At one point
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: she denied one of these comments. She said, well, I
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: didn't actually say that, and then the guy produced a
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: tape of her saying, Now, what's made it even worse?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: If you read the Vanity Fair lengthy article, most of it,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: although some of it's negative, it's quite thoughtful and negative.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: But the problem is, I guess they gave it to
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: the New York Times to write an article about the
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Vanity Fair interview, and the New York Times guy when
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: he wrote it, because it's the New York Times, completely distorted.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: He took quotes out of context, and he made everything
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: sound fifty times worse than it actually was in the interview.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: But the problem is most people don't read Vanity Fair.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: You got to have a subscription and pay for it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Most people, most of the world does not read Vanity Fair.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Very few people actually do. A lot of people read
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: the New York Times, so more people will just read
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the New York Times summary of the interview, and it's
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: really taken out of context, slanted, bias, distorted. So that's
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: going to make it sound even worse. I mean, President
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Trump won't like it when he reads it, but somebody
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: will have printed out the Vanity Fair article, the actual article,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: and handed it to him. He'll see that it looks
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: a little better there. What else does she saying there?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: She said he didn't know Gallaine Maxwell got moved to
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: a nicer prison and he wasn't happy about it. Well,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, if he was that unhappy, he could have
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: moved her back. But it's just not stuff you say,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: especially if you're Susie Wils who's an old Washington hand
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: who knows how things work. Yeah, it's one thing that
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: was Remember Anthony Scaramucci got himself in trouble. I don't
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: know why, but he started talking to The New York Times.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: He thought it was off the record. He said awful
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: things and well, oh, actually what happened was he said
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: all this awful stuff. And then at the end of
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: the call he said, by the way, this is off
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: the record. Well he was an amateur at this, you know,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: coming to Washington working in the White House politics, total amateur.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: So he didn't know how things worked. He didn't know
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: that you can't say at the end of the call
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: it's off the record. You have to get that set
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: before you start talking. That has to be done at
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: the beginning. So he didn't realize. And at the end
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: he said, this is off the record, Well it's too late.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Then he didn't know that, so and then it got
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: him fired. He was I think they set the all
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: time record for shortest employment in the White House. It
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: was like a couple of days. And as they said,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: he got fired before the first direct deposit even got
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: to his bank account for getting paid. Hey, Chuck Schumer
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: has become the most annoying guy in the world. There's
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: this video that's gone viral from the weekend where he's
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: talked what was he talking about. He was talking about
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: the brown shooting or the terrible tragedy in Australia, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: he was just awful about it, so tone deaf and weird.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: He's just a cheap, fake, pandering politician. So he wants
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: to address the terrible tragedy. But listen to this guy,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Listen to this. This is just how bad he's become.
• 41:38
  Speaker 13: Listen, of course, I'm going to say a few words
• 41:42
  Speaker 13: about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. Okay, So in first,
• 41:46
  Speaker 13: of course, as I always say, no matter what, go Bills.
• 41:50
  Speaker 13: They beat the Patriots today, it's a big deal.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Everybody thought that was just awful. He's supposed to be
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: addressing this terrible shooting, this massacre in Austria. Bit before that,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: let's go Bill start talking about a football game, and
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: everybody knows this guy's not a football fan. This guy's
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: never watched a football game in his life. He just
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: needs Upstate voters, so he's pandering. He has no interest
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: in the in the Buffalo Bills, and then he had
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: the nerve to say this yesterday. He's just the phoniest
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: guy in the world.
• 42:18
  Speaker 13: Listening to this and this tragedy in Sydney shows the
• 42:22
  Speaker 13: abject danger of letting anti Semitic propaganda, rhetoric and action
• 42:29
  Speaker 13: go unchecked.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: He's the guy that did that. He's the king of that.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: You remember when Jewish students were being terrorized at Columbia
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: University physically and mentally, the Jewish students living in fear
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: being terrorized. Remember, the anti Semiti were margin all over
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: the campus. Schumer went and hid, never said a word.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: In fact, people were yelling and screaming publicly, where's Chuck Schumer?
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Why doesn't he do something? He never did, never did
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: anything the whole time that went on for six months,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: the horrors of anti Semitism all over New York, at NYU,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: at Columbia, everywhere. Schumer ran and hid, just didn't do
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: a damned thing about it. So for him to have
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: the nerve to say this.
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: And this tragedy in Sydney shows the abject danger of
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: letting anti Semitic propaganda, rhetoric and action go unchecked.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Well, Schumer's the king of doing that. Nobody did it
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: more than Schumer. So the gall of this guy is
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: just unbelievable. Uh oh, Howard Stern contract is up. It's
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: up tomorrow. That's the end of the Howard Stern contract.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: You know, he had five year contracts, one after the
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: other with Sirius. When he left Terrestrial Radio went over
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: to Sirius, it was for a massive, crazy amount of money.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: What was it hundred million a year? It was one
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: hundred million a year I think. And then over the
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: years his audience dwindled a little. They didn't quite need
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: him as much anymore, and there was a period of
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: was it five years ago or ten years they decided
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: to cut him back from one hundred to like fifty
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: million a year. So the compromise was instead of five
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: days a week, he would do three days a week
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: and he would get a lot more vacation. So they
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: cut him to fifty million. The contracts up. They don't
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: really need him anymore. He had a lot of listeners
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: in the beginning, but when he went totally woke, crazy
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: trumped arrangement syndrome, he lost an enormous amount of his
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: audience and very very very big loss of audience. So
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the subscribers are just a fraction of what they were.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: So they really don't want to pay him all that
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: money anymore. So there was a massive pay cut coming
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: or just get rid of them all together. Well, they've
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: been in talks and they reached an agreement over the weekend.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Howard Stern will stay. Now he's being very fuzzy about
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: how he's staying. He just said, signed a new contract
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: and I've decided to stay another three years. And he
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: said I was able to win it all, get it all,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: get everything I want. And then he kept talking about
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: free time, how free time is the most valuable thing
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: he wants his free time. He said, I've worked all
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: my life. I need me time, free time to do
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: what I want. Well, it's a three year contract, which
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: is less than five years. When they cut the length
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: of the contract down, that's a lack of confidence. Now,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: the most insulting thing you can get in broadcasting is
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: a one year contract. They didn't do that to him,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: and he knows that's too insulting, that would be humiliating.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: So he got a three year contract. They wouldn't give
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: him a five year deal. They got a three year deal.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: And nobody knows the details. Some are speculating he's going
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: to work one day a week, that he's taken a
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: massive pay cut, and so in exchange for that, it'll
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: be something like one day a week or something like that.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: He already in the last contract when he took the
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: huge pay cut, went to some ridiculous amount of vacation time,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: it's like thirty weeks of vacation a year, so this
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: will probably be like one day, two days a week,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: very few weeks a year. They have the right to
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: all his old shows. He's got a ton of old shows.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I think they have the rights to him for the
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: next twelve years, so they'll still be a stern channel,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: but it'll be very few live shows. The details again,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: the fact that he's not explaining the details means they're
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: not impressive to him. So we'll see. Hey, the healthcare
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: situation got to do something. Healthcare costs are scheduled to
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: just explode, increase. Everybody'll paying a lot more for healthcare.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: It's because of Obamacare. Turned out not to work. The
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: whole idea of Obamacare was a disaster for two reasons. One,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: if you have the government take over a business, it's
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: going to cost a lot more money because government is
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: all bloat, waste, fraud. So if the private sector were
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: running healthcare, they would streamline it get the cost down.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: If you put it all into government running, it cost
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: go way up. The other problem was the idea of
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Obamacare was you'd force or you'd force everybody on it. Now,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: older people use a lot of health care. They got
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: all kinds of serious medical things that costs a fortune,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: So the insurance compans got to pay a fortune for
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: these older people. But the idea was you get all
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the younger people. People in the twenties thirties, they never
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: get any healthcare, they don't need anything, so they're paying
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: in and taking nothing out. So all the money they're
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: paying in will pay for the old people who were
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: taking money out. Well, that idea of forcing everybody on
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: it didn't pass. They couldn't get that through, so the
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: younger people are not forced to be on it. And
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: younger people twenties thirties, they don't need health care coverage.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: They don't ever have any big healthcare needs, so they
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: weren't buying Obamacare. They didn't buy it, they rejected it.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: So all you had were the older people taking money out.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: You didn't have the younger people putting money in, so
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: the whole thing fell apart. That's why they're talking about subsidies.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: You know. It was called the Affordable Care Act, but
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: it got so out of control that nobody could afford it,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: so you had to have subsidies to pay for it. Obviously,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: it was affordable you wouldn't need the subsidies. So Democrats
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: would like to just keep the subsidies, keep the taxpayers
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: funding it. But Trump, and he's probably right about this,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: is you got to redo this whole thing. You got
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: to get the government out of it. You got to
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: make it efficient and make it work, so make the
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: cost not astronomical. Then you got the crazy Democrats, the
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Hakeem Jeffreys.
• 48:28
  Speaker 14: All we need are four House Republicans to join us.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: They're two hundred and twenty of them.
• 48:35
  Speaker 14: All we need are four, and we can extend the
• 48:38
  Speaker 14: Affordable Care ACTAX credits in a straightforward fashion.
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Now, Democrats don't mind big bloated government programs. You know,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Republicans too. Most of these Republicans just as bad as
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. They like these big bloated government programs. Why
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: because big bloated government programs. Why that means contracts. To
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: hand out massive contracts. You hand it out the donors
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: to people you want to have become donors. You can
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: make a lot of money for your campaign and for
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: your packs with these contracts. So that's why they like it. Hey,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I saw Bruce Blakeman yesterday. He got a very good
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: chance to be the next governor of New York. He's
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: the perfect choice to be the next governor of New York.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: News Max had a great Christmas party yesterday. Bruce Blakeman
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: came later in the party and everybody applauding him. They
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: love this Guy's gonna do very well in the governor's
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: race January, which is January twelfth, I think it is
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: a few weeks from now. He gets inaugurated again's second
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: term as county executive. Now. President Trump likes Elise Stefonic
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: and he loves Bruce Blakeman. Been close to Blakeman for years.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: He has said all kinds of wonderful things about Elise
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Stefanic and was back in there. But now with Blakeman
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: in the race, what does he do? I don't know.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Now they're both great. But Alise Stephonic
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: is a legislator. She's a great talker. Put her on
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: those Congressional committees. She's a great interrogator. Voy does she
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: tear into people. But that's her talent. Blakeman, on the
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, his talents are what you need
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: in the governor. He is a governor now, he's the
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: governor of Nassau County. He's a manager. He runs things.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: That's what it's really what the governor's job is. It's
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: it's you know, you don't always want a legislator in
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: that job. You want a manager, and that's Blakeman. So
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: to me be the much better choice for that. Hey,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three to two
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Get hits in access to Mark by setting a freeset
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on woor.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take a calls. Let's go to uh Steve
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: in White Plains, Steve, how you doing?
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: Merry Christmas? Mark?
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Thanks Steve.
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: Mark. The Democrats caused most of these issues with healthcare,
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: and over the last ten fifteen years they have been
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: very successful at convincing the American public, at least according
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: to all the polls. I see that it was the
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: Republican's fault for all these healthcare issues that we're having.
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: And if the Republicans don't do something to extend the
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: subsidies or something else quick and healthcare costs increase. Like
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: they will forget the midterms. Am I missing something here?
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: I guess too early to work miss.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: A million years from now, the whole landscape will change
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: eight times before the midterms. Hey, let me ask you
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: a better question. Are you a former radio guy?
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: You asked me that usually when I call it, Well.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: You sound like a radio sort of announce here. Either
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: that or your car salesman. Which is it?
• 51:52
  Speaker 11: No, I did radio for thirty five years.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, do you have that radio sound or Lexus
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: salesman Lexus of West Yes.
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: I don't like the salesman concept.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: No, definitely not. All right, Well, you sound great, Thanks
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: for calling. Let's go to Chris and Queen's Chris. How
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: Mark A big fan?
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: Uh for.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: I can't believe that they're talking about a long time
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: what do you call it?
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: Reiner? But they don't give anything.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what you said, but as long
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: as you did, you got your point across the kirk. Yes,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: you made your point. We don't know what it is,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: but you made it. That's important. Let's go to H.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Mark.
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: I'm doing very well.
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: Thank you?
• 52:44
  Speaker 11: Mark?
• 52:44
  Speaker 15: If I had the capability to be an advisor to
• 52:47
  Speaker 15: suse you whiles, I would recommend that she go on
• 52:50
  Speaker 15: Fox News channel and asks Sean aunt Hannity to interview her,
• 52:55
  Speaker 15: and knowing Sean, he would probably give her the full hour.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's saying, you know, to explain this vanity
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: fair piece. I don't know. The better idea might be
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: just let it go, don't waste too much time on it.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: It's it's good fighter for MSNBC and the Trump Arrangement
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: syndrome crowd, but it'll burn out on its own by
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: after a day or two. Let's go to Pam and Patterson. Pam,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: Hey, I have answers to your two questions. Rob Reiner's
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: son went back to that hotel room after the murders. Yeah,
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: I had heard that, and so I think he brought
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: some of the bled back with him on a sheet
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: or whatever and kind of swathe himself in it like
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: a serial killer, because that's part of the control, Like, look,
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: I got control of you. That's something a serial killer
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: would do. And then second I think, oh god, I'm
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: running a blank here. Oh and in terms of why
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: his father would be so vitriolic, all of a sudden,
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: while everybody disc so sweet, Well, perhaps the apple doesn't
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: so far from the tree.
• 54:05
  Speaker 11: Well, you get my drift.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: It's not just him. There's a lot Well, we all
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: know people like this. They're nice, sweet, normal people. You
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: get them. On the subject of Trump, they're like vicious,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: hate filled maniacs when they talk about Trump. It's uh,
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: it's just unbelievable.
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: But perhaps he was that way with his family at time,
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: and we don't know about it. A lot of people
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: hide that, you know.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. The other kids look pretty nice.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: The rest of the family looks pretty nice. They all
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not a psychiatrist, but you know
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: who is Curtis Leewell. We'll talk to him next, Curtis next.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: They had a lot of questions to ask him now
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: that the mayoral race is totally over, completely over. It's
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: a few things I want to we'll well, we'll get
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: to that next. On seven to ten w R, it's.
• 54:50
  Speaker 16: More of more Mark Simone on seven, Well, ladies and gentlemen,
• 54:57
  Speaker 16: the man who should be the mayor of New York
• 54:59
  Speaker 16: right now, Curtis Lee Well, of course, also one of
• 55:01
  Speaker 16: the great radio hosts of the last few decades, had
• 55:04
  Speaker 16: the number one morning show for many, many, many, many
• 55:07
  Speaker 16: many years.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: And he'll be filling in for me. I'll be off
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: the last two weeks of the year next week. In
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: the week after, Curtis will be filling in ten to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: noon every weekday. And he's with us. Now, Curtis sliwa,
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: Oh great now that you've given me an opportunity to
• 55:22
  Speaker 7: let my voice be heard on my favorite radio station.
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: WR Nope, he doesn't get any better than this, Mark,
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: because obviously you lead and everybody else follow So I
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: know you've got a huge following because all during the campaign,
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: people would stop me wherever I was going and says, well,
• 55:42
  Speaker 7: Mark's talking about you. Now, I didn't get that from
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: any other radio station or any other talk program.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, now that it's all over, let me ask you
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: about this campaign. First of all, Now, obviously you could win.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: You could out talk everybody in the race. You got
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: a much longer career resume than Mamdani. But they started
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: this mantra, he can't win, Curtis can't win. Curtis can't win.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: They just drilled this into people. I heard people start
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: repeating it like It's true. It was ridiculous. How did
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: that ever get started?
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: But actually got started right after Andrew Cuomo tossed in
• 56:19
  Speaker 7: the towel because he got so badly beaten in the
• 56:22
  Speaker 7: primary that if you remember Mark, when he entered the
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: race on March first, he was at forty percent in
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: the Democratic polls, Zorhan Mandami was last at one percent.
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: By the time of June twenty four, they hadn't even
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: counted the rank choice votes yet he lost by thirteen percent,
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: and it was no mos, no mos. Now. The big
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: savior then was gonna be Eric Adams. They were gonna
• 56:46
  Speaker 7: somehow resurrect the crook out of the grave and put,
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: you know, put a new set of clothes on him
• 56:53
  Speaker 7: and say, oh no, he's a new Eric Adams. And
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: the people didn't buy it. And then every day thereafter,
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: the masters of the universe, the billionaires, the influences, the
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: inside has kept this dropout game. Dropout, you got to
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: drop out. He became very difficult Mark to engage in
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: any kind of conversation because the first question I'd have
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: to ask every day, answer every day was no, I'm
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: not dropping out. They bribed me, people were threatening to
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: kill me, my wife do harm to my staff, and
• 57:24
  Speaker 7: I said, no, I'm not dropping out. And I lived
• 57:27
  Speaker 7: up to that until November fourth, where clearly Johan Mandami
• 57:31
  Speaker 7: was elected mayor of the City of New York by
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: the people of New York.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now here's a better question. You knew Andrew Cuomo
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: can't win. I knew he can't win. He was a
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: terrible governor. He did awful things as governor. Everybody can't
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: stand the guy. But he went around for the three
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: or four years to every big donor, every big Upper
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: east Side Southampton, all this craft, and he convinced them
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: that only he could win. And these are otherwise very
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: smart people. How did they fall for this nonsense? They
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: actually convinced themselves only he can win, buck.
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: Mark, There's nobody better connected than you with all the
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: heavy hitters in New York, whether it's the Hamptons or
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: in New York City or around America. They may be
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: good on Wall Street, so they know nothing about the
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: streets in New York City. And by the way, they
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: know nothing about politics. As was evidence, they backed Culomo
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: in the primary, he lost, then they backed Derek Adams,
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: Then they went back to back in Clomo. Look, they
• 58:26
  Speaker 7: may invest your money well in a hedge funt. You
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: know acman acman every day. This guy would tweet out
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: ten eight hundred and fifty two words in his midlife crisis.
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: But they couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong, and clearly
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: they At first they disparaged Cuomo when he lost the Mondomi,
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: then they revived him, and all they kept doing was
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: supporting Democrats. So he guess what you got what you wanted,
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: Johann Mondommi, You just strengthened him and Mark What was
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: that love past between Donald Trump the President and Johan
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: Mondomie at the White House? Come on, they played us,
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: We were played all during the campaign.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you think, mom, Donnie? I somehow
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: I still think maybe he was counting the socialists. Maybe,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: and maybe he's not as bad as we think. What
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: Well, look, he is what he is. He is not surrendered,
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: He has not retreated. He is an idea log. Everybody
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: who gets elected mayors entitled to a grace period. He'll
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: have his grace period. But unlike everybody else who in
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: fear frighten this stereos said, I'm selling my prisoners are
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: moving the Florida. Hey where they gone? Mark is still here?
• 59:34
  Speaker 7: Are you kidding? Having backdoor meetings with Rohai Mondami? So
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: the fact is I'm improved.
• 59:41
  Speaker 9: O move.
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: And by the way, Matt compliment you for a second, Mark,
• 59:44
  Speaker 7: because you're going on this well deserved vacation. What are
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: they gonna do over your competition? You realize that Greg
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: Kelly for years would listen to your program before he
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: would come on in the twelve o'clock hour. Basically you
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: would do his show prep for him, like he is
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: up in the borsch belt. That used to steal jokes
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: from one another.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Well, but Greg does a great show.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: They do it you away, but we all.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Listen to each other. We all take from each other.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: It's uh, that's so, but now.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 7: Your mom Mark, But you're the best. That's why they
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 7: do it from you. They know that.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Then you got to you gotta do a good job
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: the next two weeks. Curtis will be filling in for
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: me the next two weeks. Now you have done. They
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: used to make fun of how many hours you'd be
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: on the radio twenty hours a day, fourteen hours a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: day six Will you be able to fit it into
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: just two hours? A day.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh, there's no doubt about it. Hey. Look, uh,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: there was a time at WABC, as you know, because
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: you and I we were together. They're doing the morning
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: show with Ron Koopy, whose mommy is at comedy who
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: is the predecessor to Johann Mondami. Yeah, I mean you
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 7: wanted to know what Jorhan Mandami was. Look, that was
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 7: Donkoopy and the three of us would sit in that
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: room doing the morning show. That was total chaos.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 7: I don't know how. I don't know how you survived
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: that much.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: I forgot you. Yeah, you two weren't talking for about
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: six months. I had to like host the uh or
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: be the moderator of the show while you two were there.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: But it's it's much better doing the show by yourself,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: isn't it. It's always much better?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah. And I insisted on that I had always
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: done shows that partners, and I insisted that no, if
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: I'm the do talk radio anymore, it's going to be solo.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: I will either sink or swim based on what I say,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: not based on what my partners say. But boy, you
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Every morning for four hours,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: Mark Simone, the referee between Ron Koby, who was door
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: on Mondomi before he was even born, and Curtis Sleewan,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: And I mean it got hey, it got pretty hot
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: and heavy there. You almost had to put in a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: nine one one call sometimes.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: So well, next week will be you'll have fun here.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: If you've come up, you've seen the studio, you've visited,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: you've in fact, a lot of your old coworkers were
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: here when you came. Right.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: Well, let me tell you something for people who don't know.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: Because War was the first radio station I was ever
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 7: interviewed on. I was the newspaper Boy of the Year.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 7: I had gone to Washington, DC, got an award for
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: Richard Nixon, and my first interview was with Arlene Francis,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: who did afternoons mid to mid days, and I got
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: the bug. You know what it's like. You had the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 7: bug for years. I've had the bug. And then when
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 7: Bob Grant went to War, I mean it was a continuation.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: And by the way, I remember when I transported all
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: of his items from WABC where they exiled him to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 7: wr and then he kicked off books over at WABC.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: You remember that you worked with him at WBCA back
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: with R Peter Strauss and Ellen.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: That's true. Although Bob Grant and I didn't get along.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: So Bob Grant was a complicated guy. I think you'd
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: agree off the air, Oh.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: No doubt about it. But let me tell you something.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: He was magic on the radio. And that's all it counts.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: And that's what you've been for so many years, Mark Simone.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: So to be able to substitute for you while away,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 7: I mean, it doesn't get any better than that. And
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: I listened to wo R. Now you've got a lot
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: of great shows. I have no reason to listen to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: anything else, including always blaming Curtis WABC other station.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: But since you announced you're going to be here, did
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: they contact you? Have you heard from anybody there?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: They're worried, aren't They're worried? Because remember I haven't told
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 7: the true story of what went on there, all that
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: drop out. You got to drop out? When do you
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 7: think it started?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 9: Mark?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: It started at WABC, And there are a lot of
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: bones buried there. And the question is in the two
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 7: weeks that you've given me the opportunity of management at
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 7: WR and iHeart the substitute for you, will I dig
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: up any of those bones and air the trunk of
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: what went on during the most historical and unprecedented mayor
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 7: Old campaign in the history of New yorkitty politics.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't go after them, but I can't just
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: blame them. I heard this from every Upper East Side idiot,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: every Hedge fund idiot. Curtis can't win. Curtis cant that
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: was ridiculous. He's got to drop out. It was ridiculous.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: And as you say, these guys made billions at what
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: they know and have never made a penny given political
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: advice to anybody.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 7: So, by the way, where's their friend Andrew Cuomo? Where
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: wait you go? As he fled to Borda like he
• 1:04:29

• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: come on, Mark, you know everything? Where is into?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: I think they now realized we were right. This guy
