Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm going Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: Dan, Thank you so much, my friend, my favorite guest
Speaker 3: in the world. It is Sam Metler. It is that
Speaker 3: reaction area. Is that right wing nut from California?
Speaker 1: You started?
Speaker 3: Nice a, Sam? What's going on, buddy? With all those
Speaker 3: liberals out there? How's everything going?
Speaker 1: Wait? Wait, First of all, I'm not a right wing
Speaker 1: nut or reactionary. I am a moderate independent, which.
Speaker 3: In Los Angeles is the same thing.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, okay, that's where I'm going.
Speaker 3: First of all, give me the lowdown on the house.
Speaker 3: You're back home.
Speaker 1: I'm home and listen. It's just awfully sad, and it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of eerie and weird because people have lost
Speaker 1: everything and you know, you just go to work and
Speaker 1: you do what you do. But there are people that
Speaker 1: are in desperate, desperate need, and it's it's really awful.
Speaker 1: I have a cousin who lost everything and it just
Speaker 1: kills me. We you know, we have to continue going
Speaker 1: through life as to the people that have lost everything.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's it's sad and it's surreal.
Speaker 3: Will will anything come out of this? And kell I
Speaker 3: don't want to talk about this is my only question
Speaker 3: about this, but it's just popped into my head, which
Speaker 3: is always dangerous. Would this catastrophe, well, anything come out
Speaker 3: of this so it doesn't happen to this.
Speaker 1: Level Again, Well, I don't know the answer to that
Speaker 1: is I don't know. You know, this is a one
Speaker 1: party state, which I hate because then you can't get
Speaker 1: any uh there's no one to curb excess or to
Speaker 1: curb a bad legislation or no legislation from taking place.
Speaker 1: It's just whatever one side wants, they get, and so
Speaker 1: that's very, very tough. It's you know, I thought, of course,
Speaker 1: when Trump came here after the fires and he really
Speaker 1: called out our mayor to her face, she deserved worse
Speaker 1: than what he gave her. Actually and back from Europe.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah she she. I mean, listened, who
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to go to Ghana for inauguration Day?
Speaker 3: Sorry Africa?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So yes she Uh so he gave her hell.
Speaker 1: He gave hell to Brad Sherman and he said, your
Speaker 1: side is basically screwed up. And they have and I
Speaker 1: think we talked about it last show. I mean, with
Speaker 1: with all of the mess and horror that Trump is
Speaker 1: in the first few weeks of his administration, you know,
Speaker 1: you would have said, oh, there are going to be
Speaker 1: more people voting for Democrat, I mean, excuse me for
Speaker 1: Republican right after this fire, and he manages to take
Speaker 1: good will and urinate on it, if I can.
Speaker 3: Use that, Well, didn't he didn't he give the water back?
Speaker 3: Did he did take care of that? Did he say that,
Speaker 3: well I'm going to fill up the lakes again or
Speaker 3: the reservoirs.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, he says yes, I mean listen, I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's it's so obvious what should have happened here.
Speaker 1: But like I said, preparedness is not sexy for the
Speaker 1: ultra left out here. You know. It is who can
Speaker 1: I help and who can I look good for? And
Speaker 1: who you know, you know, who will vote for me?
Speaker 1: You know this is I said this this week. Is
Speaker 1: the left used to be for the little guy? Well,
Speaker 1: the little yeah, well the little guy was the union guy,
Speaker 1: right you, the little guy?
Speaker 3: He was my dad. He was my dad. He worked
Speaker 3: in the paper mill. He was a union guy, and
Speaker 3: he wanted to send his kids to college because he
Speaker 3: never went. And he'd work over time to get Christmas
Speaker 3: gives and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I know, it I lived here. Yeah, And now those
Speaker 1: days a guy with him. Little guy was people who
Speaker 1: lived through Jim Crow. Little guy was immigrants who came
Speaker 1: here wanting to build and came here you know, legally,
Speaker 1: and you know, Jews who had been murdered all over
Speaker 1: the world. And there's a new little guy. And because
Speaker 1: this country not that they were perfect, We're far from it, right,
Speaker 1: but we've improved a lot. And so with that, the
Speaker 1: left has tried to, you know, in order to stay
Speaker 1: it is finding new the new little guys, right, and
Speaker 1: they are not. It's not well thought out, it's not mainstream.
Speaker 1: It's it doesn't I mean, certainly it doesn't help any
Speaker 1: And so this is why you have someone like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump screaming DEI when there is none right for you know,
Speaker 1: for for the helicopter crash, right, you know. And and
Speaker 1: it works because everyone was so sick of you know,
Speaker 1: the the the different priorities.
Speaker 3: You've said it before, Sam, I mean Trump came in
Speaker 3: and he appealed to a segment, a large segment, much
Speaker 3: larger than we thought, across ration lines that felt unloved
Speaker 3: and unheard.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the people that used to be the
Speaker 1: little guy.
Speaker 3: Right, they felt unloved and unheard, and instead, you know,
Speaker 3: they're paying Oprah millions of dollars to hold an interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know, he he, So he came out here.
Speaker 1: I thought, okay that you know, maybe maybe this state
Speaker 1: will start to move more towards the center because they'll
Speaker 1: see that we need more, more of an equal representation
Speaker 1: or just even you know, more folks that will pay
Speaker 1: attention to proactive, you know, measures to keep us safe.
Speaker 1: Geare you know what the insurance company's left here? You
Speaker 1: know what? The insurance companies can't And I don't blame
Speaker 1: them one bit for canceling their policies. Because if the
Speaker 1: government won't take won't take the necessary precautions to save
Speaker 1: an entire you know, town from losing their properties, why
Speaker 1: the hell are the insurance companies gonna, you know, going
Speaker 1: to insure them. I mean, if you told an insurance company,
Speaker 1: if you told an insurance company, you know what I
Speaker 1: we have know we live in a stack of hay,
Speaker 1: right and and I produce matches. The fire department is
Speaker 1: three hours away. They're not going to ensure you, right?
Speaker 3: So what Just to be clear so people understand, you're
Speaker 3: not talking about not paying on insurance benefits. You're talking
Speaker 3: about not underwriting a policy in the first place, exactly right.
Speaker 1: They cut fire insurance here. They cut fire insurance here
Speaker 1: by a tone and this is before the fires happened,
Speaker 1: and it was like, well, what can we do. We'll
Speaker 1: go out of business or we'll charge you crazy premium,
Speaker 1: which they're not allowed to do. I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's it makes so much sense. But you
Speaker 1: get the people here that didn't have hot fire hydrants
Speaker 1: that turned on, that didn't have the preparedness with the
Speaker 1: brush cut back, and they're yelling at the insurance companies
Speaker 1: for not paying out on the properties that they, you know,
Speaker 1: didn't defend and protect.
Speaker 3: Well, but they're being inaccurate because what you're telling me
Speaker 3: is they didn't have a fire policy.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's put it this way. The excuse that
Speaker 1: the system couldn't take the water coming in, like, what
Speaker 1: the hell's that? Yeah, I mean, like the system should
Speaker 1: be able to take that, right, That's that's not an excuse.
Speaker 1: It's an emergency. Well yeah, I mean your fire hyergens
Speaker 1: are supposed to work in emergencies, and it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's very sad. And I don't know how
Speaker 3: people are going to rebuild. They're not gonna have the money.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Palisades has a a lot of uh,
Speaker 1: you know, big money, but there are people that that
Speaker 1: don't have big money.
Speaker 3: In the Palisades. It's not Beverly Hill.
Speaker 1: Yes, and and and uh certainly Alda Dina is a
Speaker 1: lot of working class families there. What's what's uh interesting
Speaker 1: is you know back in Boston, you know, you get
Speaker 1: your house reassessed, right every few years, new taxes go up.
Speaker 3: Yep, oh, yes, I'm well aware.
Speaker 1: Yes. Do you know in California your house never gets reassessed?
Speaker 1: Why so? Why because they're idiots. I mean they tax
Speaker 1: the hell out of you in other ways, right, But yeah,
Speaker 1: So there are people that live in Beverly Hills in
Speaker 1: you know, ten million dollar homes. They bought them for
Speaker 1: you know, forty grand you know, sixty years ago, seventy
Speaker 1: years ago. It's and that's I mean, it's unbelievable how
Speaker 1: that hasn't been raised. I mean, it's so it's so silly.
Speaker 1: It's they tax the hell out of everything else, and
Speaker 1: they tax the hell out of businesses. You know it.
Speaker 1: People should be paying the right amount of taxes and
Speaker 1: they won't.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You know what they also do is you know we
Speaker 1: pay for we have freeways and I put that in quotations. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't. We just get paid. We just our car
Speaker 1: to re up our car. What the heck is the
Speaker 1: car insurance? But the registration, yeah, registration, it's hundreds and
Speaker 1: hundreds right, Yeah. So there's no speed pass here because
Speaker 1: we don't have tolls. So you're not paying for the usage.
Speaker 1: You're just they're just dinging you at to get a
Speaker 1: sticker every every year.
Speaker 3: Well and maybe if you charge, you know, maybe if
Speaker 3: you if you did raise the property taxes, you could
Speaker 3: afford to fill the fire hudrants. Sam, We are going
Speaker 3: to turn it to mister Trump. We have to take
Speaker 3: a break. We will talk tariffs. Tariffs coming up, Sam Butler,
Speaker 3: he used the tax man. Coming up next on WBZ.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Way Live from the Window World
Speaker 2: Life Sight Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back, every tank. Wee for Dan tonight, Sam Mendler,
Speaker 3: George us from the West Coast here as we're talking
Speaker 3: about everything under the sun with my guy Sam. Okay,
Speaker 3: So Trump I'll ask you which which of these points
Speaker 3: are true. I'm watching CNN and it says Trump backs
Speaker 3: off tariff stands. Then I watched Fox News and it
Speaker 3: says Canada and Mexico crumbles to Trump. So it's somewhere
Speaker 3: in the middle. Of course, it is. Everything is in
Speaker 3: the middle. That's the problem with this country. Everything should
Speaker 3: be in the middle. But you know, so just if
Speaker 3: people don't know. So, Mexico is saying they're gonna send
Speaker 3: ten thousand armed personnel to the border to stop drugs,
Speaker 3: which I still don't think is gonna work. And then
Speaker 3: Trudeau from Canada is going to talk to Trump and
Speaker 3: they're supposed to work something out. So what do you
Speaker 3: make of already? Oh what happened? I missed it?
Speaker 1: Just it just happened.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, they worked out some sort of deal with
Speaker 1: averting a trade war by boosting up the border, reinforcing
Speaker 1: the border with their people, and increased resources to stop
Speaker 1: the flow of fentnel coming into the country. Nearly ten
Speaker 1: thousand frontline personnel will be working the border. Will it
Speaker 1: work better than nothing? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I'm just when it comes to the drug wars, I
Speaker 3: just am so you know, you well, you know Sam
Speaker 3: better than anybody. My god, addiction. I mean, that's the
Speaker 3: root of it. You can put as many people on
Speaker 3: the border as you want. I suppose, Yes, it's better
Speaker 3: than nothing, it's better than nothing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's you got to do it.
Speaker 1: And sure less drugs will come over because you know,
Speaker 1: they don't have to work out something else. You know,
Speaker 1: if if they've got certain routes they take, and if
Speaker 1: they've you know, are used to business a certain way,
Speaker 1: I've got to imagine that anything will will make it better. Well,
Speaker 1: you know how much better. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well that what worries me is like I don't know
Speaker 3: about Canada. I don't know if the fentanyl drug lords,
Speaker 3: you know, have Trudeau in their back pocket. I assume not.
Speaker 3: But it seems to me that cartels are in Mexico.
Speaker 3: They do, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1: And you know, I got to tell you, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I don't like him, but he is right about
Speaker 1: one thing. And the other countries in the world they
Speaker 1: tend to take advantage of our I'll say generosity, even
Speaker 1: though some people don't believe that we are. You know,
Speaker 1: there there are countries that simply don't have military because
Speaker 1: we are there as part as part of as part
Speaker 1: of NATO. Right, and Mexico has done nothing to prevent
Speaker 1: people from coming to the border. It's all us, right,
Speaker 1: because they don't care, God bless take them. We can't
Speaker 1: do anything with them. Take them. And so it's you know,
Speaker 1: I don't like his tactics, right, I don't like tariffs.
Speaker 1: I mean, if he if people think he's going to
Speaker 1: drive down prices with tariffs, I mean they're wrong.
Speaker 3: I don't know why anybody would believe that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just tariffs are not a conservative views,
Speaker 1: Sam free market, free market, free market.
Speaker 3: I agree with you one hundred percent. Because the company
Speaker 3: it's just going to be passing along with the consumer.
Speaker 3: I mean that's common sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, you know. I mean, so, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Why anybody would think that tariffs are going to help
Speaker 3: the economy or lower prices. I suppose there's one thought
Speaker 3: that it's going to create American jobs because we'll have
Speaker 3: more manufacturing within the country.
Speaker 1: But the prices will be raised that way too.
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't happen overnight, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, well, well, what we will have is
Speaker 1: we will have a another inventory problem that we have
Speaker 1: with COVID because now with tariffs, these folks won't be
Speaker 1: shipping the stuff over right, so you know, there'll be
Speaker 1: a problem getting every day goods that we get for cheap.
Speaker 1: And you know why we get them for cheap, Gary,
Speaker 1: it is because they use slave labor. And it gets me.
Speaker 1: It gets me kind of angry because there are so
Speaker 1: many folks who think it is racist to call China
Speaker 1: out on uh, it's ills China. China is a pretty
Speaker 1: bad country. I mean, I don't know if you've heard,
Speaker 1: I mean of concentration camps, but they got them. You know,
Speaker 1: they do not treat their citizenry well. They are I mean,
Speaker 1: is a dictatorship. This there's you know, bad stuff that
Speaker 1: goes on over there, and they're they're you know, there's
Speaker 1: certainly not a working power for world peace in the world, right,
Speaker 1: And so yeah, the tariff thing is silly. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's interesting that he uses it, and then you know,
Speaker 1: I I think it's sort of a nuclear move to
Speaker 1: get countries to you know, put up more money, put
Speaker 1: up more border security, et cetera. You know, so that
Speaker 1: you know that's something I just I just don't like
Speaker 1: dealing like that. I think it's it's sort of like
Speaker 1: it's it's it's thuggish question, you know, And and that's him.
Speaker 1: You know, he's sure, but they, you know, wait until
Speaker 1: they see how much things cost, and that they cost higher.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he'll say two get out of it, right,
Speaker 1: Like what kind of excuse he's going to make.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, but the big if it was twenty
Speaker 3: five for Canada, twenty five for Mexico, and if they
Speaker 3: comply to his demands and they don't have the tariff,
Speaker 3: that's not a problem ten percent from China. People will
Speaker 3: still pay for the goods.
Speaker 1: It adds up. It adds up in things like auto parts, sure, right,
Speaker 1: you know, so it cuts into a lot of profit.
Speaker 1: And so you know, I don't when you say people
Speaker 1: will pay for it. Yeah, if you're talking about a
Speaker 1: gizmo that's you know, a direct to consumer sale, that's
Speaker 1: one thing. But if you're talking about computer parts, et cetera.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be very difficult for an
Speaker 1: American company too, you know, stomach paying god knows how many.
Speaker 3: More and maybe you pass it along to the consumer.
Speaker 3: Because one of the things I feel about our consumer
Speaker 3: base is people buy stuff even if they put it
Speaker 3: on a credit for card and don't know how to
Speaker 3: pay for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is that is true. I I just
Speaker 1: think that they'll find they'll find other They'll find other,
Speaker 1: uh maybe lesser products or what happened.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day. Do you think that?
Speaker 3: Do you think during this term Trump can create more
Speaker 3: jobs in America? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Well.
Speaker 3: Pitch right, make your products here, American made, so forth
Speaker 3: and so on. That's always the pitch. But yet these
Speaker 3: companies that are from America would rather pay the slave
Speaker 3: labor overseas than bring it in.
Speaker 1: Well, the the the issue is he could, right if
Speaker 1: he and this is a big this is a would
Speaker 1: be a big stick in the crawl of the left.
Speaker 1: Is tax breaks? Right?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: The left hate tax breaks for the supposed rich. Right,
Speaker 1: you have someone like AOC who managed to help Amazon
Speaker 1: lose out or move a factory from her district elsewhere
Speaker 1: because she was so stupid. It's like she didn't understand
Speaker 1: that the tax breaks, you know, go hand in hand
Speaker 1: with more jobs. You know, it's it's got to be.
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, that's the only sensible way of
Speaker 1: making things, getting more.
Speaker 3: Jobs, not really yeah, I mean, Sam, Look, it's mathematics.
Speaker 3: Is that if you can go to a foreign country
Speaker 3: and if you can pay five cents to make a
Speaker 3: widget whatever, right as opposed to paying twenty five cents
Speaker 3: in America, get you got to give the company the
Speaker 3: money back somewhere because you may be heavily unionized in America.
Speaker 3: And that's fine, I'm a union guy. But these companies
Speaker 3: go to ununionized labor in other parts of the world
Speaker 3: and it's dirt cheap. So it's capitalism. And a lot
Speaker 3: of these companies are based here in America going elsewhere.
Speaker 3: So that's where I laugh at it, you know, that's
Speaker 3: where I laugh with American companies. Apple, for God's sakes,
Speaker 3: right that everybody is so dependent upon Apple. I mean
Speaker 3: we all are. I got my phone, I got my laptop,
Speaker 3: I got this and that, and they're made it's made
Speaker 3: in China or it's made in in countries where I
Speaker 3: don't have to pay as much. So yeah, we have
Speaker 3: to make it.
Speaker 1: Will people will not shoot here film here in California
Speaker 1: because of the taxes.
Speaker 3: Well, okay that too, So I.
Speaker 1: Mean that's it's it's it's it's just an example of
Speaker 1: what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Well, it's no doubt, I mean, and I don't understand
Speaker 3: that either, Sam, because I mean Hollywood, that's it's a
Speaker 3: factory town. That part I don't get.
Speaker 1: I get it. They charged him it's tech.
Speaker 3: I don't know why they haven't lowered the taxes.
Speaker 1: It's because they don't understand. They don't understand mass. They
Speaker 1: don't understand that. You know, if they actually tax less,
Speaker 1: there'll be more productivity, prices will go down. I mean it.
Speaker 1: They just don't get it. They don't get it. They
Speaker 1: also think that the uh, the economy is a finite
Speaker 1: piece of pie, that if someone else is making a
Speaker 1: certain amount, then that must be because they stole it
Speaker 1: from someone from someone else. You know, there's an unlimited capital, uh.
Speaker 1: And they just don't they don't get that. I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't understand it either, Sam. I've heard that there's
Speaker 3: talk that they're trying to give tax breaks now in
Speaker 3: Hollywood it's the it's the entertainment capital of the world,
Speaker 3: but everything's made in British Columbia and Atlanta. It's it's
Speaker 3: nuts and even New Jersey now because they want to
Speaker 3: bring the work there. I understand that's that's that is
Speaker 3: the way you stimulate it. But in the big picture,
Speaker 3: when people talk about we need to manufacture here in America,
Speaker 3: unless you entice the companies to do it, they're not
Speaker 3: going to do it. I don't care what breaks, and
Speaker 3: that's it. That's what you got to do. So like
Speaker 3: when people bitch of a tax breaks, they don't understand
Speaker 3: the method. That's that's that's right for the rich. They're
Speaker 3: for the rich. It's like, well, it is, but you
Speaker 3: have to understand. I get it, I understand what it is,
Speaker 3: but it isn't but that that's the only way you're
Speaker 3: going to have the jobs here. And that's why Trump
Speaker 3: got elected because people think that he's going to deliver jobs.
Speaker 3: Sam Methler, my friend from the West Coast More coming
Speaker 3: up after this.
Speaker 2: It's Night Side Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: So Sam Medler's with us on the West coast. Gary Tagway,
Speaker 3: So have you been hanging out with elone? Okay, let's
Speaker 3: let's let's take a look at this. If you said
Speaker 3: ten years ago that the president was going to appoint
Speaker 3: some billionaire to just come in and clean things up,
Speaker 3: you would have said that's insane. That would never know,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, actually wouldn't have. I actually wouldn't have.
Speaker 1: I didn't know who Elon Musk was. Then maybe i'd
Speaker 1: say it's insane. But I mean for someone to go
Speaker 1: through the government's spending and look at it from a
Speaker 1: non political lens, to try to cut some of the
Speaker 1: enormous fat that we've got in the budget, I say,
Speaker 1: God bless. I just don't know. I mean, he's he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's got problems, you know, A he's uh got he
Speaker 1: is on the spectrum right right, so he says and
Speaker 1: does a lot of things that uh don't appear to
Speaker 1: be you know, very diplomatic. Yeah, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: I would not recommend anyone try a Nazi salute, you know,
Speaker 1: at a at a rally. You know that's me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's was he trying to make a Nazi salute?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think he's a spaz, you know,
Speaker 1: in terms of I mean what he's doing in Germany
Speaker 1: with the far right, I mean, God, Garry, it scares
Speaker 1: the hell out of me. I mean, meanwhile, I feel
Speaker 1: a little you know, to to in total, what the
Speaker 1: hell do you call it? When you when you tell
Speaker 1: people that you've got a conflict of interest. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a Jew. So when I talk about uh anti semitism,
Speaker 1: know that it's also coming from a personal space as well.
Speaker 1: But you know, Trump, uh put together a task force
Speaker 1: today two look at anti semitism in colleges. Right, So
Speaker 1: I mean to me, I look at that and go, okay,
Speaker 1: that that seems pretty good. I mean, it does scare
Speaker 1: me that it will they will not. Maybe it will
Speaker 1: go further. You know, anytime you you you look to
Speaker 1: quell some sort of statements, whether they be political or
Speaker 1: what have you. Yeah, are you are you going to
Speaker 1: be interfering with the First Amendment? Because listen to the
Speaker 1: guys in Skokie KKK. Years ago, the Supreme Court Court
Speaker 1: ruled that the KKK marching was a free speech and
Speaker 1: they can do that, right, I mean, even though you
Speaker 1: hate it, but yeah, musk musk is all over the place.
Speaker 3: In a year, do you think Trump like gets bored
Speaker 3: with him or gets pissed at him and sends him more.
Speaker 1: Well, if he oversteps, right, what's going to happen?
Speaker 3: Sam, That's what I think it's gonna happen. It's gonna
Speaker 3: he's going to do something to Trump that makes his
Speaker 3: day difficult. And that could be with with with the president,
Speaker 3: who knows what that is, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, if if he if if there's any shade
Speaker 1: on on Donald, because it's you know, the sun is
Speaker 1: shining too bright on elon Donald, get rid of.
Speaker 3: Him, right, And I think that that's that's bound happen.
Speaker 3: There's no question it's going to happen, you know, I mean.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I don't, I don't know, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean with it with certainly with Musk, it's bound to
Speaker 1: happen because I mean he's, like I said, I mean
Speaker 1: he's not diplomatic.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean the USA anything, right, he says,
Speaker 3: let's go in and shut down USA. Now you talk
Speaker 3: about fat, I'm sure there is fat, and I'm sure
Speaker 3: that there are, of course, there are places that can
Speaker 3: be trimmed. Regardless of who's in power. It's fat all
Speaker 3: over the government. But you just can't go in like
Speaker 3: you own the company and blow people out like Ari Gold.
Speaker 3: Did you know in Ant Deurage when he had to
Speaker 3: remember the water machine gun when he bought the agency
Speaker 3: and was like firing all the agents. You just can't
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 3: Well no, I mean you can. You can literally like yes,
Speaker 3: if you want to, if you want to fire, if
Speaker 3: you want to clean house. You just can't do it
Speaker 3: the way he does it. I mean, you just you
Speaker 3: have to have some decorum, you know, you have to.
Speaker 1: I don't think you. I don't think you have to.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the the far scarier is Trump
Speaker 1: firing all the folks at the FBI that had anything
Speaker 1: to do with any of the investigations.
Speaker 3: Again, of course, I mean that goes without saying. I mean,
Speaker 3: and then you want to talk about what he's doing
Speaker 3: at the Pentagon. You know, NBC goes, New York Times
Speaker 3: goes all but bring in Breitbart and all my people,
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, yeah, that's scary. Of course.
Speaker 1: Well you know what's scary. Did you I don't know
Speaker 1: if did you see CBS's clean up edit of Kamala's interview.
Speaker 3: I did not. I missed that. What happened?
Speaker 1: Holy cow, They like switched her answers to make her
Speaker 1: sound intelligent because.
Speaker 3: She no, I mean terrible, that's awful. And Walter's rolling
Speaker 3: over in his grave. You can't do that, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: but what do you? I mean what do you do
Speaker 3: about that?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you know, screaming bloody he meaning Trump
Speaker 1: is screaming bloody murder about it. And he has said,
Speaker 1: you know, that's why he's filing lawsuits all over the place,
Speaker 1: because I mean, is that interfering in an election?
Speaker 3: Of course it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, well, oh it is.
Speaker 3: I mean I hate to go, of course it is.
Speaker 3: It's embarrassing. That is embarrassing. Head should roll because of that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's why I'm missing. I told you at Emerson when
Speaker 3: I was teaching at Emerson this past semester, I said
Speaker 3: to thirty five students, how many people? And it's a
Speaker 3: sports class, right, so I mean, you know, no, nothing
Speaker 3: really gets steak here. I go, many, how many people
Speaker 3: believe what they read or hear?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And they all said they don't and they don't care.
Speaker 3: They go, we don't believe it. They said, we believe
Speaker 3: maybe Jeff pass And they mentioned a couple of writers.
Speaker 3: They're too busy on DraftKings. No, so this is this
Speaker 3: is why. But because of this, that's why people don't
Speaker 3: believe the media.
Speaker 1: No. I mean, look at what ESPN did with Brady,
Speaker 1: you know, in the deflate gate thing, and I mean
Speaker 1: told out and out lies. Not that he was I'm
Speaker 1: not talking to his innocents or guilt, but I mean
Speaker 1: did tell lies about him and never retracted them.
Speaker 3: Right. Well, in sports, yeah it doesn't they should. But
Speaker 3: in sports people say, oh, it's just it's just sports.
Speaker 3: But it's people's lives, so they should.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a law It's not
Speaker 1: a game where you know, someone could have an opinion
Speaker 1: on how someone played or how someone didn't or I
Speaker 1: mean this is the you know, actual facts in a lawsuit.
Speaker 1: And you know it's terrible, terrible, but uh yeah, musk god,
Speaker 1: all these all these you know what, it's like Gary
Speaker 1: and and so many of these folks look like the
Speaker 1: typical I call them CAI say, douchey, like they came out.
Speaker 1: The people that he surrounds himself with, they all look
Speaker 1: like they came out with the slick back hair and
Speaker 1: the you know, the loud mouths. It's like everyone that's
Speaker 1: ever been on Wall Street. Right, But but the bad,
Speaker 1: you know, the bad caricature of that is who he
Speaker 1: surrounds himself with.
Speaker 3: Well, he surrounds himself with yes man, and and and
Speaker 3: it's and yes, people. But as soon as they say no,
Speaker 3: they go you know, I mean, do you think how
Speaker 3: many of these people being nominated? More heads a roll?
Speaker 3: I mean, if the guy was King Henry the Eighth
Speaker 3: to be child uping off people's heads, he really would
Speaker 3: be that's what he does. I mean, it's what he does.
Speaker 3: You're my friend until you're not.
Speaker 1: That's yeah. I think Marlott Maples wouldn't be alive.
Speaker 3: Now, Sam Mettler, can you can you stick around for
Speaker 3: one more semon? I want to ask you about the
Speaker 3: Lively case? Do you have any thoughts on that? Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's coming up next to WBC It's.
Speaker 2: Night Side with Dan y Hey, damn w BZ, Boston's
Speaker 2: news radio. Now back to Dan ray Lie from the
Speaker 2: Window World Light Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Hey, my man's taking me home the freak from the
Speaker 3: Left Coast. Sam Medler here, what do you? What do
Speaker 3: you make of this whole thing with Blake Lively and
Speaker 3: just In Baldine. What's going on?
Speaker 1: It is so confusing? Garry. Now, remember I am a
Speaker 1: producer of non fiction. I am the lowest of the
Speaker 1: low out here on the totem pole of of Hollywood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it apparently well, I mean, this is her side of
Speaker 1: the story. Lively says that there was sexual misconduct on
Speaker 1: the set of their movie The End of Us or
Speaker 1: It Ends with Us, excuse me, And it sounds like
Speaker 1: in appro like not sexual advances, but inappropriate sexual joking.
Speaker 3: Was one of the things too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the yeah, well yes, which is again inappropriate. It's
Speaker 1: it's not you know, I don't think that just and
Speaker 1: Baldoni ever made any advances to have sex with Blake Lively.
Speaker 1: I think I think that he may have shown just
Speaker 1: an abundance of ill conceived jokes and I mean, certainly
Speaker 1: showing somebody torn is just so stupid and outrageous. So yeah,
Speaker 1: then I think that because she said something, he and
Speaker 1: his producer hired these crisis management people to destroy what
Speaker 1: she was saying, right, And so then she's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're going to take this up a couple of notches, right,
Speaker 1: And you know, along with her, I mean she uh
Speaker 1: at William Morris Endeavor w m me she had them
Speaker 1: can him as a client, and also her.
Speaker 3: Husband is also very powerful around yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, w Emmy has actually actually represented me in
Speaker 1: my new podcast, which will Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: on iHeart anyway. So now it's just lawsuits. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's suing the The New York Times. It's such a
Speaker 1: he said. She said, it's like until you get people,
Speaker 1: you know, under oath, it's I can't tell what happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't have any insider info on this.
Speaker 1: It's just it's like people have got to watch what
Speaker 1: they say, right, stay.
Speaker 3: In age, Sam. I just I just can't imagine being
Speaker 3: in a working environment and showing somebody porn on my phone.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's beyond it. That's beyond that. I mean
Speaker 1: like that that that was never okay, no, you know,
Speaker 1: but I was never ever okay.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, But I mean or joking. I mean, now,
Speaker 3: I suppose twenty twenty five years ago, in college or whatever,
Speaker 3: people would joke, But now I would never say anything.
Speaker 3: It's a totally different world.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a moron, of course, an if he
Speaker 1: did exactly what she said, well.
Speaker 3: She has also no history of ever accusing anybody of this, right, So,
Speaker 3: right at the end of my thing is that you
Speaker 3: know they you know, Blake Lively and Runner, They've been
Speaker 3: working in this business a long time and this has
Speaker 3: never happened before, So I.
Speaker 1: Don't know the history of this.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 1: Does he have a history of this stuff?
Speaker 3: I gotta be careful. I'm not I'm not going to talk.
Speaker 1: Oh, Gary her a room.
Speaker 3: I thought I don't know, I thought there was I
Speaker 3: can't remember if I read something or not. But he's
Speaker 3: acting if some I believe her, how about that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean I don't know enough to
Speaker 1: speak intelligently on not that like that stopped me before.
Speaker 3: But now yeah, for her and Reynolds to come out
Speaker 3: like this gun's blaring to me, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 3: let to smoke this far. Sam, Let's tell tell me
