The little pause between the music, the memories and the madness. And nothing makes that break better than an ice cold Coca Cola. It's that quick refresh that turns the holiday rush into calm, making the moment feel just right. It's the breath between the laughter and the late night rapping sessions.

It's DJ Envy and the holidays are here. The time of year that's all about connecting with loved ones in person or over the phone. In fact, hearing someone's voice can emote a similar emotional response as a hug. And while most of us can hop on a video chat to really bring that connection to life, using tech isn't easy for everyone. Especially some of the older folk in our lives. Eight AT&T has been doing something special here. To help, they offer digital literacy workshops that help older adults learn how to use technology to do things most of us take for granted, like video conferencing and sharing photos.

She'll be a part of them, sharing stories, opening presents, and making memories. All through a screen.

Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired. Please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are adult Trump. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. He's a jackass. Yeah, it's dog here today for Tuesday, December 16th goes to the 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. Now, if you haven't heard, film director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were brutally murdered. Their son, Nick Reiner, is currently being held on murder charges, accused of stabbing them to death, slitting their throats. Just horrendous on all levels, man. People said their son was troubled. He may have been dealing with mental health issues. Folks are saying they overheard Rob and Nick arguing at a party, and the son was acting bizarre. Listen, I am sure that folks will be trying to figure out the why to this tragedy for a while, but the why isn't what we are here to discuss this morning. What we are here to discuss this morning is the hypocrisy of President Donald J. Trump. See, when the news of Rob Reiner's murder came out, Trump got on Truth Social and said something that just simply didn't need to be said. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please. The horrific murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Reiner is sending shockwaves through Hollywood and Washington, D.C. oh, boy. Reiner will forever be remembered as a TV and film icon, but he was also active politically, an outspoken critic of President Trump. Trump's comments come after he wrote this incendiary post on Truth Social earlier in the morning, claiming the couple who were brutally murdered in their own home, quote, passed away because of anger Reiner caused with his outspoken criticism of Trump. The post sparked immediate and intense backlash, this time from inside his own party. I think President Trump should have said nothing. When someone is murdered, we should show him and his family. You think that's the bare minimum. How do you turn someone's tragic murder into politically motivated violence? He's making it seem like Rob and his wife Michelle got killed because of Rob's feelings towards him. Why would you center yourself at the heart of a tragedy like this? Why would you even want to put out there that someone would or could be killed for their opinion of you? What are you saying about your followers and supporters? That they would kill someone because that person doesn't like you? Okay, what are you signaling to your followers? That it's okay to take out anyone who disagrees with you? Also, I know Rob was very heavy into politics and very vocal, you know, about his opposition to Trump. But the reality is, Donald Trump, you're the president. You didn't have to say anything about this if you didn't want to. Rob Reiner is not a politician. He's a film director. Public condolences from you would have been Nice, but not necessary. So you volunteered this information for no reason and then doubled down when asked about it. Let's go back to NBC News to hear it. A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post? Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said he liked. He knew it was false. In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself in career wise. He became like a deranged person. Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country. Now I'm not shocked. Disgusting, yes. Appalling, yes. But this is who Donald Trump is, folks. Keep waiting for him to be presidential. That's not who and what he is, okay? He is the former executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice, all right? He's a reality show star. There will never be any COO there, okay? A position doesn't make the person. All right? Just because you are president doesn't mean you will ever be presidential. Okay? You can change the top layer, but Trump was who he was before he got here. Not to mention he told us he doesn't wish the best for his opponents. Let's not forget this. Remember, over the last 11 days, we have heard stories of commentators, influencers and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval, excuses, or even jubilation. The man wasn't even buried. Oh, no, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm get to that part. Hold, stop, stop, stop. I want. When he said, at Charlie Kirk's memorial, when he said that he does it, what's the best for his opponents? We don't have that. We have that. Yeah, play that. Charlie Kirk truly was. He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose. He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry, Erica. But now Erica can talk to me and the whole group and maybe they can convince me that that's not right. But I can't stand my opponent. Hey, man, he is who he is, okay? When somebody tells you who they are, believe them, okay? Donald Trump has no problem going to hell on his opposition. Can't be too shocked when somebody plays limbo with Lucifer. Okay? But I was born in 1978, and I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed. MAGA in the right crucified what they called radical left lunatics for speaking about Charlie Kirk's death or celebrating Charlie Kirk's death the exact way Trump just spoke about Rob. So for me, if it's one thing I can't stand is a lack of consistency and hypocrisy. I'm okay with you changing your mind. I'm okay with you being who you are. That's perfectly fine. But to become what you once condemned, to display the exact same behavior you told us was wrong, that you were willing to deport people over. Oh, we gotta call it out now. We can play the compilation, right? Over the last 11 days, we have heard stories of commentators, influencers and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval, excuses, or even jubilation. The man wasn't even buried yet. And Democrat members of Congress were denigrating his memory. Many Democrats in elective office have now been totally captured by a radical fringe of the far left base who want to dehumanize every person they disagree with. We must continue to call this wickedness out. Some of the very same people who spent the last eight years trying to sit in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about politics suddenly started cheering for a murder. Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle aren't even buried yet. So call your president out, okay? The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that's also a hypocrite. Trump and his administration, they're both. And if you are a Republican who is not condemning this behavior after criticizing people for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, then you are a liar and a hypocrite, too, okay? Representative Stephanie Rice of Oklahoma said we should be lifting the family up in prayer, not making this about politics. Representative Mike Lawler, Republican from New York, called Trump's remarks about Reiner wrong. In a statement, he said, it's a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in the country, period. Those are the kinds of statements Republicans should be making in regards to their leader. Okay, that's it. Anything else is truly uncivilized. Not to mention, does Donald Trump know what happened to Rob can happen to anyone. I know he got Secret Service and all the security in the world, but Rob got killed by his son. Someone close to him snapping, flipping out. That could sadly happen to any of us. So you have to Be very careful with that kind of energy, because it can come back to you, okay? Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption in America. I hate to tell you, but this president is indeed the leader of a den of corruption. Please give Donald Trump the biggest he Hulk. Now go subscribe to my YouTube. It's see the God c T H a g o d. You play too much. I just wanna let you know. Just go to my. Just go, please.

All right, now, thank you for that donkey today. Now let's open up the phone lines. I was having a conversation with my pops the other day, and we were talking about the worst holiday experiences, and I'm gonna tell you why. 800-585-1051. The worst holiday experience or Christmas experience that you could think of. So when my dad. When I was a lot younger, my dad was a police officer, he got chest pain, so he thought he was having a heart attack, right. The day before Christmas. And all I wanted was an aircraft carrier, a GI Joe. Couldn't afford it. But when my dad thought he was dying, he bought it immediately. Of course, he didn't pass, thank God. So talking about the worst holiday experiences, that happened to you also two years ago, if you ever had to build toys for your kids or a dollhouse or a Barbie house, you know, they have them plastic things on there that's, like, really, really tight and hard to pop off. He heard me say, really tight and hard to pop off. He got excited. I ain't say nothing. What's wrong with you? I used a knife to. To pop off the plastic tab, and I cut my finger and had to get 12 stitches on my finger the night of Christmas. And I was an emergency room Christmas. Should have got one. One stitch per day. 12 days of Christmas. By the end of the 12 days of Christmas, you'd have been good. Yo, shut up. So we're asking 800-585-1051, what was your worst Christmas experience? The worst thing that happened that you was like, this is just horrible. That's what we're asking. This Morning. I'm trying to figure out what the first story you told, who was it the worst experience for? Because you said your dad. My dad. I mean, I was happy because I got the GI Joe, but my dad thought he was having a heart. I thought you was trying to say that your dad was mad he bought you the GI Joe. He only bought that because he was dying. He could have saved his life. I'm sure he wasn't that after. I'm sure he wasn't that after. I'm sure he wanted his money back, but it was one of those things where he was. He thought he was having a heart attack. He thought he wasn't. He thought he wasn't gonna make it. So he was like, I just want to see my son happy. We can't afford it, but I'm gonna buy it. I'm shocked. You played with GI Joe's. You saying you strike me as a Barbie girl living in a Barbie world? Yes. Don't it? Yes. His father wouldn't have booted out. Nah, definitely not back then. No, no. He'd have called me all types of 90s slurs back. God. But anyway. 800-585-1051.
