Rob Reiner: White House pressure on media is 'beyond McCarthy era-esque' - Velshi - MSNBC
From the cancellation of Stephen Colbert, to the preemption of Jimmy Kimmel and the postponing of Jessica Chastain’s new series, Trump’s administration is using politics to squeeze Hollywood.
Acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner calls the current climate “beyond McCarthy era-esque” and warns Ali Velshi, “This is just the beginning.” He says his colleagues need to speak up: “Our job now, as communicators, is to start communicating to the rest of the country.” - Aired on 10/05/2025.
