Welcome to Talk Message. I'm Isaac Dover. Today's guest, Rob Reiner, the actor, activist, director, all-around, talkative guy. We sat down in New York and he had opinions on all sorts of things, including Russia, his new movie about Lyndon Johnson coming up,

and of course the role that celebrities and people who have very strong opinions about what's

going on in politics have right now. Remember to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts
