1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: As you're joining us this morning, you're learning the news

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: that actor, director, and political activists Rob Reiner and his

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: wife were found dead in their home in Los Angeles

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Police are investigating the case as an apparent homicide.

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: No suspects have been identified. However, People magazine magazine is

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: reporting otherwise. They're saying it was one of their sons.

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: Yes, I believe his name is Nick. And this is

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: somebody who has battled addiction over the course of his years.

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: He has battled homelessness, if you can imagine one of

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: the children of very successful director Rob Reiner struggling with homelessness.

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: But in an interview in twenty sixteen, he had indicated

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: he spent weeks at a time on the streets in

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: various cities around America and also dealing with his addiction.

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: And now People Magazine, according to a family member, naming

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: him as the possible perpetrator of this terrible, terrible crime

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: that has shaken Hollywood to their core. Because this is

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: shocked stuff. When you hear about one of these, you know,

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean that this is you know, not a not

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: a nobody. This is somebody who is well known in

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: the community. Somebody live, you know, living in a nice neighborhood,

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: a nice house, and then to find him and his

22
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: wife stabs so tragically. I mean, it doesn't matter what

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: his political affiliation is. Of course, Rob Ryaner famously liberal,

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: but nobody deserves to die that way, being stabbed to

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: death in their own home. Seventy eight years old, I believe.

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, best known as Mike's diivic meathead from the nineteen

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: seventies TV show All in the Family.

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: I can remember growing up and watching that and it

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: was a little time.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a little above my head. I knew

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: it was a political show. They you know, tiptoed into

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: that area, and as a young child, I didn't get

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: everything that they were talking about.

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: But he earned some Emmys for that role. Directed nearly

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: two dozen films, some of your favorites, some of the best.

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: When you think you about men, A few good men,

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Princess Bride, stand by me. When Harry met Sally and

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: the thing when something like this happens, you hear all

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the inside stories about some of the movies that he created.

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: For example, he met his wife Michelle while making When

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,559
Speaker 1: Harry met Sally.

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: And it changed the ending of that entire movie. Oh really.

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Originally Harry and Sally weren't supposed to end up together,

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: but he was in love himself and that translated into

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: the script of the movie where they ended up together

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: as well.

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: That's fascinating how life experiences can shape and shift the

48
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: artistic endeavors that you're working on.

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: Michelle Reiner worked as a photographer and she actually took

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: the photo of Donald Trump which was used on the

51
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: cover of Trump The Art of the Deal.

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: Oh so that not the famous photo of him pumping

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: his fist with a flag in the background after

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: He got out, but for one of his book covers,

55
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: for sure.
