I appreciate that. 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: The latest on the Rob Ryan and Michelle Singer Reiner murders. 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: The story keeps getting more and more. I'm gonna say uncomfortable. 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: I don't like any of it. I don't like any 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: of this. The latest, of course, is that Nick Reiner 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: was charged to NBCLA was talking about that earlier. 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 6: I like County office just filing the criminal complaints in 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 6: the last few minutes, detailing the allegations against Nick Reiner 35 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 6: that he took the lives of his parents over the week. 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 6: The initial appearance that Nick Reder was supposed to make 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 6: in court this morning was delayed, but La County GA 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 6: Nathan Hawkman says the case will move forward quickly. 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. Hey, Mark, I heard you doing this in your 40 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 4: news too. 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: You said it was delayed, uh, for medical reasons, But 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: they didn't really tell us what that was. We just 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: know some sort of a medical issue. Yeah, let's see here, 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: he wasn't medically cleared, is what they said. He hadn't 45 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: medically cleared. I don't have the full details on that, 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: but yeah, that's well. I don't think they told us 47 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: the full details. It's not your fault. 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 4: I think that. 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: Uh, I think that information has been withheld from you, 50 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: which I think is bogus because you're a complete pro speculation. 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 4: By the way, here's the attorney again right here. 52 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 5: Every inmate has to be medically cleared before they could 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 5: be transported to court. 54 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: He has not been medically cleared. 55 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: It's just a procedural issue. Oh yeah, just a procedural issue. 56 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute, is it possible 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: that that you've got to just do a quick once 58 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: over and make sure they're not they're not harmed in 59 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: any way, shape or form, And they just hadn't gotten 60 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 2: to him yet. It's almost what it sounded like he said, 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: it's just a procedural issue. I'd only be guessing it'll 62 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: come out soon. Okay, very good. 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 6: Continuing on DA Nathan Hackman, they're saying his office will 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 6: evaluate the evidence and circumstances later on to decide whether 65 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 6: or not to pursue a death sentence. 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 4: See. I don't think they're gonna go after the death penalty. 67 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: I don't think they are, and. 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: It could be because we're gonna find out that the 69 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: kid was on drugs, which of course has. 70 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 4: Been a big part of the story. 71 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: They keep talking about how Nick Reiner had been in 72 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: and out of rehab numerous times over the last ten 73 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: to fifteen years, that this has been an ongoing issue 74 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: with him. They may say it wasn't in the right 75 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: mental state, something of that sort. But here's here's why 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: I think they're not gonna go after the death penalty. 77 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: Biggest the Hakman is going to not pursue the death penalty, 78 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: and that is it doesn't seem like the kind of 79 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: thing that Rob and Michelle Singer Reiner would have wanted 80 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: for anyone, let alone their own son. 81 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: And I could be wrong. 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: I'm making a big assumption here based on their very 83 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: outspoken liberalism, but I'm feeling confident enough to say that publicly. 84 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: I don't think that they would have wanted the death penalty, 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: especially for their son, even if they were the victims. 86 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: Now we can't ask them, which is tragic. The other thing, 87 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: and I'm not looking forward to this at all. This 88 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: is what I think is going to be the most 89 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: heartbreaking of this entire saga as it starts to play out, 90 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: is that at some. 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: Point, if this goes to trial, the defense. 92 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: Is almost certainly going to cast the Hiners as dysfunctional 93 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: and possibly abusive. They're going to do everything they can 94 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: to lessen the impact on their client. So I would say, 95 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: get ready for total character assassination. 96 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: Get ready for it. 97 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: And the sad thing is is that that Rob and 98 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 2: his wife are not here to defend themselves to give 99 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: a counter testimony. Tragically, what they're going to say is 100 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: that you know, Nick wasn't in his right mind, but 101 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: that his father had upset him after years of. 102 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 4: Abuse or something of that sort. 103 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: Right, That's that's what I'm I'm horrified that that could 104 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: be part of this case. 105 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: Because that's what defendants do. 106 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: And look, if you're if you're an attorney fighting for 107 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: the life of your defendant, quite literally, he could be 108 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: facing the death penalty, and you're fighting for their lives, 109 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: You're going to do whatever you can to to try 110 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: to get them a lesser penalty. Doesn't sound like there's 111 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: much of a question about whether or not he committed 112 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: the act. The question is whether or not you know 113 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: wasn't in his right mind, was it remeditated all those 114 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 2: other things that go into I mean, you understand that 115 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 2: you listen to a handle on the law, you know 116 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: what it is. Does handle it talk about murder when 117 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: he does the show. I don't think I've ever heard 118 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: him talking about that. Usually it's about somebody's tree roots 119 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 2: are in their yard, or my neighbor's tree roots in 120 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: my yard. 121 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 4: I don't like it. 122 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: The thing about this that stood out to me initially 123 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: when I first heard about Ryaners being murdered, didn't know 124 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: about their son, didn't know about the fight that he 125 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 2: had at Conan O'Brien's house with that Nick and Rob 126 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: had had an argument at Conin O'Brien's house the night before, 127 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: at this big party. Which does Conan O'Brien ever have 128 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: another holiday party? I don't think he does, because that's 129 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: kind of a downer. But the first thing I thought 130 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: was when I found out that they had been stabbed, 131 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 2: I thought, God, that is personal. Stabbing is very personal. 132 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean, stabbing is such a vicious way to take 133 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 2: someone's life, and I didn't know. 134 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 4: What to make of it. 135 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: I still don't without knowing more of the story, more 136 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: of the context, around what the circumstances were, which, of 137 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: course we'll find out later as the story evolves. But 138 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: I thought what happened that they were stabbed? Well, I 139 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: mean the thinking was this a robbery gone bad? You know, 140 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: because again we didn't know what was going on early 141 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: on as we're getting just this information about two bodies 142 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: were found at the home of Robin Michelle Singer Reiner. 143 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: So I'm thinking, I'm thinking, was this a robbery gone bad? 144 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: And it was a weapon nearby? But then both people 145 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: were stabbed multiple times? Such a personal way of taking 146 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: someone else's life. 147 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: Well, the reporting that I'm seeing is that the shrots 148 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: were split. No, is that right? I hadn't seen that. Yeah, God, 149 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 4: is that vicious. It's absolutely horrifying. Oh my gosh. They 150 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 4: were discovered by their I did I did see that. 151 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't hear the throats were So I mean, 152 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 2: we are we are talking, we are talking to somebody 153 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: who must have been seeing red right when they did that. 154 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, and you talk about, you know, the charges and 155 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 7: death penalty. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he 156 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 7: pleaded out. 157 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because again, that doesn't seem like there's much 158 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: of a question here, right, and if they could just 159 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: plead out for life, a life sentence instead of the 160 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: death penalty and then take the deal. 161 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 4: Dude, Wow, God is that personal? 162 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: Onto another tragic celebrity death.

First, 175 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: we were discussing Rob Reiner Michelle Singer Reiner murdered. Authority 176 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: said by their son Nick stabbed, although Mark was just 177 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: saying that we're getting reports that their throats were slash 178 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: which is so incredibly personal. 179 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: So violent. 180 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 5: Chris. 181 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 8: The reason I believe they were stabbed is because I 182 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 8: would think rub Reiner, being a liberal, would be very 183 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 8: anti gun. So there probably were not any guns in 184 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 8: the house, and his son probably didn't half guns. 185 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I hear you on that. That makes you're 186 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: probably right, there were no guns in the house. Probably 187 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 2: didn't have any guns. 188 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 189 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: But even still, one of the arguments about violence in 190 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: America is that we have violence because it is easier 191 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 2: to commit violence with a firearm. 192 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: Right, it is. It is just easier. It's less personal. 193 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: And so if you're going to commit violence with a 194 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: knife and there isn't a firearm, handy, right, I get 195 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: what you're saying. That makes that makes sense to me, 196 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: But it's still the idea that not only are you 197 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: going to commit violence, that you know you're about to 198 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: commit very personal violence. 199 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: And that is just remarkable to me, just crazy. 200 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: That that would that whatever is going on in his head, 201 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: that he would become so enraged if the authorities are 202 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: right and he did it, you know, allegedly all that crap. 203 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: I want to make sure we don't get sued for 204 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: passing misinformation, but based on what we know, it's just 205 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 2: to me, my mind can't wrap around that. I mean, 206 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: I've been I was a teenager. I hated my parents 207 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: when I was fifteen too. I get it, but I 208 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: can't imagine whatever the pain is in his mind that 209 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: brought him to see that red and become that violent. 210 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 4: It just blows my mind. 211 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: The response by the President has caught an awful lot 212 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: of attention because he basically said that he died because 213 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 2: of his Trump derangement syndrome, and even a number of 214 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: conservatives said, no, that's that's not cool, man, that's too much. 215 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: So a number of people have spoken out. The President 216 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: was asked about it, he kind of doubled down on it. 217 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: Now there's a little bit more fallout. The wrestler Mick Foley, 218 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: who was a pretty popular guy with WWEE for those 219 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: that are not fans of the performance art that is wrestling, 220 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: a pretty popular guy for a while there, kind of 221 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: a blue collar type wrestler. 222 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 4: He basically just said. 223 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: You know what I'm done from a wrestling specific putting 224 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: this in our entertainment segment from a wrestling specific. 225 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 4: Broadcaster. 226 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 9: Hey, I'm Scott Johnson, host of Going Ringside, Breaking News. 227 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 4: WWE legend. 228 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 9: Mick Foley has just cut ties with WWE because of 229 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 9: their relationship with President Trump. This is what he just 230 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 9: posted on social media, parting ways with WWE. While I've 231 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 9: been concerned about ww's close relationship with Donald Trump for 232 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 9: several months, especially in light of he goes on to 233 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 9: an statement on immigration, but this is what he says. 234 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 9: I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles 235 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 9: a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches 236 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 9: our country towards autocracy. Last night and formed WW Talent 237 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 9: Relations that I would not be making any appearances for 238 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 9: the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, 239 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 9: I will not be signing a new Legends deal when 240 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 9: my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will 241 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 9: always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply 242 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 9: appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But in 243 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 9: the words of Popeye the Sailor, I stands all I 244 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 9: can stands, and I can't stands no more. 245 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: All Right, So, obviously he's got some liberal viewpoints, right. 246 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: But evidently the final straw had to do with the 247 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: truth social post. He said he's been concerned with it, 248 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: and he said, reading the President's incredibly cruel comments and 249 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 2: the wake of Rob Ryder's death is the final straw 250 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: for me. So, look, you're going to have people who 251 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: are liberal that are breaking away from companies that are 252 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: associated with President Trump. That's the first thing. The question 253 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: is is this a one off or is this starting 254 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: a trend. I'm not I'm not ready to call this 255 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: a trend yet. And the President doesn't really need to work. Look, 256 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 2: the President says things, the President tweets things, the President 257 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: gets out over his skis when it comes to some 258 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: of his some of his interactions, especially on social media. 259 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: So nothing to worry about quite yet. And again, fully 260 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: made himself pretty clear that he's a pretty liberal guy. 261 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: So not all that surprising that this guy's made that decision. However, 262 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: I think Susie Wiles and some of the others that 263 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: are in the administration are going to be watching to 264 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: see if there's other fallout, if there are other names 265 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: that have more conservative leanings that say I don't want 266 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: to do appearances. Maybe they're not so vocal like Mick 267 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: Foley was, but maybe they go, you know what, I 268 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: I just I need to step away. I need to 269 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: step out of the spotlight a little bit. I need 270 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: to let things cool down a little bit. If we 271 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: start to see that, then I think you're going to 272 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: see a shift in the communication tone from the White House. 273 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: But I also think we are a long long way 274 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: from that long way. 275 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, another tragedy that hit us a while ago, of course, 276 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: was the death of Matthew Perry. An update on another 277 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: one of the doctors I was involved in getting him the. 278 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 10: Good breaking news, a doctor who plays from fled guilty 279 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 10: for his role in the death of friend star Matthew Perry, 280 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 10: will spend less than a year in home confinement. Doctor 281 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 10: Mark Chavez was sentenced to eight months home confinement followed 282 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 10: by three years of supervised release. Chavez admitted to fraudulently 283 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 10: obtaining ketamine from his former clinic and a wholesale distributor. 284 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 10: He then sold the ketymine to doctor Salvador Placinsia, who 285 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 10: passed it on to Perry. 286 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was the guy that got the longer sentence. 287 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 10: Chaves told prosecutors that he was aware the drugs were 288 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 10: going to Perry and the actor was administering them himself. 289 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 10: Placentia surrendered his medical license as was sentenced to thirty 290 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 10: months in prison earlier this month. Chavez also agreed to 291 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 10: surrender his medical license and faces up to ten years 292 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 10: in federal prison. 293 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 4: Wow. 294 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but if the other guy got thirty months, he's yeah, 295 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: not gonna do more. But uh, anyway, this dude got 296 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: eight months of home confinement and community service. Eight months, 297 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: but he had a surrenderous license. What does a doctor 298 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: do if they're no longer a doctor? Genuine question. He 299 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: gets an eight month home confinement and community service sentence, 300 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: it doesn't get prison time. 301 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 4: But the guy's not a doctor anymore. 302 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 11: They could get their nursing license and shoot me up 303 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 11: with botox. 304 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: Uh good call. I don't think that the board would 305 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: give him a license though. I don't think the medical 306 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: board is going to be like, oh yeah, you can 307 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: be a doctor, but you can be a nurse. 308 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 11: Anyone can shoot me with bowtos. 309 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 4: Well, maybe that's what he'll do. Maybe he'll just go 310 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 4: to TJ. 311 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 11: I'll take it. 312 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 4: Leave it to Nikki to save the day. Uh, Nikki, 313 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 4: you can be a career coach. 314 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: I know. 315 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 11: I just tell everybody to shut their mouths and get 316 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 11: on the poll. 317 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: Jeez, all right, it starts as a game on your phone, 318 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: It ends with you living in a box. Researchers are 319 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: warning that this game is turning very dark and there's 320 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: a growing group of young men who are succumbing to it. 321 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: That's next you're listening to KFI AM six on demand. 322 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 4: I was reading a story. 323 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: About the sports gambling and how that's taken off. And 324 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: you know, we said in California no to sports gambling. 325 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 2: We said, nope, sports betting is going to be a 326 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: no no. I mean we even had a we even 327 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: had a petition, you know, a referendum on it, and 328 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 2: the people said nope, no, go on that one. And 329 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: yet they found end a rounds, They found ways around this. 330 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 2: I think you can still on Calshi on polymarket. I mean, 331 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 2: there's still sports gambling available in California, even though we've 332 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: basically said no to DraftKings and fan duel. Those are 333 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: the big ones nationwide. So I'm seeing some of the 334 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 2: fallout from it. And if I'm being honest, this is 335 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: gonna sound terrible. But if I'm being honest, it isn't 336 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: that bad. And here's why. Since twenty seventeen, the National 337 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 2: Problem Gambling Helpline has seen an increase in calls one 338 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: hundred and forty eight percent increase in the number of 339 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: people contacting the National Problem Gambling Helpline. 340 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 4: All right, and so we're. 341 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: Supposed to look at that and go, oh my gosh, 342 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: that's insane. 343 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 4: You got so many. 344 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: You got two and a half times as many people 345 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 2: calling the gambling helpline. Is what you did before? That's crazy, okay, 346 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: but before it was illegal. Now it's legal now. Every 347 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: time I turn on red Zone, which is how I 348 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 2: watch my NFL, every time I turn on red Zone, 349 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: you know they run. There's there's pop ups going on 350 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: in the stadiums, DraftKings fandom when I watch. When I 351 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: watch a Sunday night game, the national broadcast, it seems 352 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: like every other commercial is FanDuel, DraftKings and bet MGM, 353 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: whatever it is to watch the Monday night game, it's 354 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 2: the same thing. 355 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 4: It's everywhere. It's all over the place. 356 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: When it comes to sports, I watch a lot of 357 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 2: the national broadcasts, the streamers, that kind of stuff. That 358 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 2: and I also use a VPN, so things don't know 359 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: that I'm in California, not because I'm gambling. I haven't 360 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 2: actually put any money on sports betting in in a 361 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: long time, I truth be told. I when it was illegal. 362 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 2: I opened an offshore account, which a lot of people 363 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: were doing. I was certainly not alone in that. I 364 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 2: opened an offshore account, and then I got to notice 365 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago that said, well, our offshore 366 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: account has been banned in America, so you can't deposit 367 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 2: any more money. You can continue to bet with what 368 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: you have in your account, and then you withdraw any time. Yeah, 369 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: like a couple hundred bucks in there, and the to 370 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: withdraw that money is like fifty bucks. So I just think, okay, well, 371 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: periodically I'll put five ten dollars on something. It's play money. 372 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 2: I'm never gonna get it back anyway. So as far 373 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: as I was concerned, I lost that money. I haven't 374 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: even touched that account. I don't think I even put 375 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 2: a bed down this entire year in the NFL. I bet, 376 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: it's been a year since I put any money down. 377 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: So here's the thing. Before it was illegal and we 378 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: were going to these bovadas and this other the offshore stuff, 379 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: right that was happening, and so people were getting they 380 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: were spending too much money. They were calling a national 381 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: problem gambling helpline. Then it became legal and it's being 382 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: advertised constantly. The big casinos are all sponsoring their own 383 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: sports books on your phones, the apps. Plus you've got 384 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: the DraftKings and the fan duel. So the advertising is everywhere, 385 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: the access is everywhere. The amount of money rolling in 386 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: right now is outrageous, I mean absolutely outrageous. Nationwide, total 387 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 2: tax revenue collected by state from sports betting the first 388 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: quarter alone of twenty twenty five was nearly a billion dollars, 389 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 2: the second quarter over nine hundred and fifty million dollars. 390 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 2: So you're talking about, let's just round this down for 391 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: conservative's sake, you're talking three billion dollars a year in 392 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: tax revenue alone just from sports gambling. And yet the 393 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 2: number of people that have called the national problem gambling helpline, 394 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: albeit a shocking number when it goes up one hundred 395 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: and forty eight percent, doesn't even compare to the number 396 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: of people who are gambling. 397 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 4: Now versus before. 398 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: If we take a look at the number of people 399 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 2: gambling in twenty seventeen, and that number is not in 400 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 2: front of you, by the way, versus the number of 401 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: people with access to it and can gamble now, it 402 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: is far more than two and a half times as 403 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: many people I put money on that. 404 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 4: See what I did? I put money on Now. 405 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: The concern that people have, however, is that the number 406 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 2: of calls from states where sports betting is not legal 407 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: has also gone up. And this case has gone up 408 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: forty five, so half again as many people calling a 409 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 2: national gambling helpline. So in places like California, we're not legal, 410 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 2: you still have people contacting it and saying I got 411 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: a problem. Nick Watt is a reporter with CNN, and 412 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 2: he dove a little bit deeper into the gambling condition. 413 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: Gambling and embedded in our DNA. 414 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 2: We love it from the moment we're born. 415 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 12: Ancient Egyptians bet on chariot racing, ancient Greeks on the 416 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 12: og Olympics, and Americans have been betting on which horse 417 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 12: can run fastest for over three hundred and fifty years. 418 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 5: But online gambling is a fundamentally different product. The human 419 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 5: brain's not built to absorb an addictive product at light 420 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 5: speed like that. But that's the new business model. 421 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 12: Explain to me why it's so addictive. I have quote 422 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 12: an addictive personality. You know, I've been addicted to alcohol, 423 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 12: but gambling has never interested me at all. 424 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 5: As you well know I'm a gambling act in recovery. 425 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 5: I made my last bet on April twenty seven, in 426 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 5: twenty fourteen. But I'm not an alcoholic. We don't know 427 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 5: why certain things trigger responses in people. 428 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 4: I mean don't we Is it dopamine or is it 429 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 4: something else. It's just like a drug, alcohol addiction. 430 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 12: He's now a gambling addiction therapist. 431 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 5: Gambling addiction is an addiction, just like heroin and opioids, 432 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 5: tobacco and alcohol and cocaine. 433 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And obviously we're wired differently to be susceptible to 434 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 2: different ones. And I also think it's one of those 435 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: that has an awful lot of peer pressure attached to it. 436 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: It's not unlike a peer pressure that we face when 437 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: it comes to being a teenager. And come on, just 438 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: have a just try this cigarette, hey, come on, just 439 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: drink this beer, right, I mean, it's all peer pressure. 440 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 4: It's the same thing. Right now, I gotta tell you, 441 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 4: I got a bunch of buddies. We'll hang out in 442 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 4: half the conversation. We text. 443 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: We live in differ parts of the country. We've all 444 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: lived near each other at some point, but we all 445 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: live in different parts of the country now. And I 446 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: gotta tell you, half the conversations are what somebody, somebody's 447 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: put money on so and so, somebody's asking should I 448 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 2: take this bet? I basically, and I told you I 449 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: haven't bet in a long time. And the reason I'm 450 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: still in this text threat is because, first of all, 451 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: I love these guys. They're They're my closest friends, close 452 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: enough I would even help them move if they asked. 453 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: So WHOA, yeah, I give them a ride to the airport. 454 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: As Mark l likes to say, that's a real test 455 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 2: of friends, is yep. And then a second, I love 456 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: to mock them mercilessly when they lose. Oh god, it's 457 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: my favorite thing to do. Oh you're seeing. All I 458 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: want for Christmas is for my parlate to hit.

Steven Spielberg may actually know aliens. 486 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: Yes, he's got a new film coming out called Disclosure Day. 487 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: And I just saw the trailer. Trailer just just dropped. 488 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: Was it yesterday or earlier today that I dropped? I 489 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: thought it was today. It today Okay, yeah, I'm saying, 490 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 2: like the oldest one I see is like eleven hours 491 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 2: ago that it went out. So yeah, and I watched 492 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 2: part of this trailer and it is ominous, eerie, edge 493 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: of your. 494 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 4: Seat, Okay, whatever. 495 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: So I love that the Internet has gone crazy and 496 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: the Internet is pretty sure thanks to Ronald Reagan that 497 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: Steven Spielberg knows aliens first of all. The movie that's 498 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: coming out, Disclosure Day, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, joshua'connor, Coleman Domingo, 499 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: great cast. 500 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 4: Love this. 501 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: The Disclosure Day thing is about American authorities having secret 502 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: information about UFOs and extraterrestrial life and they want it 503 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: to be publicly revealed. And then they termed this all 504 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 2: disclosure obviously, and so they figured out a way to 505 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: disclose it to everyone all at once. That's kind of 506 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: the premise of the film, all right. That said, people 507 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: are going crazy about Steven Spielberg. The theory is Spielberg 508 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 2: has been chosen to deliver the next phase of disclosure, 509 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: not a league in the traditional sense, but a carefully 510 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: constructed big reveal. In other words, he's part of a 511 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 2: government conspiracy to condition us to be ready for the 512 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: revelation that we do have aliens among us. And I 513 00:27:52,960 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: should also point out that President Trump has a rest 514 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 2: tomorrow where they're not telling anybody what's going on. Is 515 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: it possible that tomorrow night we find out that we 516 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: have made contact or that indeed we do have the 517 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 2: body of an extraterrestrial? Is tomorrow the day? And I 518 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 2: know what you're thinking, Chris, you're crazy. Of course it's not, 519 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 2: and you're right, But that doesn't stop us from irresponsibly speculating. Now, 520 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 2: how is it that it's Reagan's fault that we all 521 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 2: think that Steven Spielberg has access to aliens? So et 522 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 2: comes out nineteen eighty two, All right, who's president nineteen 523 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: eighty two? 524 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan? 525 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: So Ronald Reagan invites Spielberg to the White House to 526 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: watch the to watch a screening of et Okay. Film 527 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 2: gets done. Reagan in his classic style. You know how, 528 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: he was known for delivering jokes with the very wry 529 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: sense of humor. And I love that, by the way. 530 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: I love a good, dry, almost British sense of humor. 531 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: It's great. He gets up and he said, this is Reagan. 532 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: There are a number of people in this room, who 533 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: know that everything on that screen is absolutely true. In 534 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: other words, he's sort of saying, ha ha ha, you 535 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: just saw a movie about the government coming in to 536 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: cover up an alien you know, alien contact. 537 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 4: Ha ha ha. Obviously many people in here know that 538 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 4: that's totally true. Ha ha ha ha ha. 539 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so the whole room laughs because he says, 540 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: you know, he says like a joke. Spielberg, though, in 541 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: recalling the story, said Reagan wasn't smiling as he said it. 542 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 4: And so now the. 543 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 2: Conspiracy theory is that the reason Spielberg is so into 544 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: aliens because it seems like everything he touches has got 545 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: aliens involved, even if it doesn't have aliens involved. He 546 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: crow bars aliens in see Indiana Jones, Crystal Skull, and 547 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: and so the reason that he's so obsessed with that 548 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: is because he knows the truth. 549 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 4: That's it. He knows the truth. But then there's another 550 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 4: conspiracy theory. 551 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: Are you ready for the conspiracy theory. 552 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 4: It is a meta conspiracy theory. 553 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 2: It is a conspiracy theory about the conspiracy theory. 554 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: First of all, first conspiracy theory. 555 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 2: Steven Spielberg been hired by the government to try to 556 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: condition us to get ready for a revelation that aliens 557 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: are among us. 558 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 4: Boom conspiracy theory, second conspiracy theory. 559 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: The first conspiracy theory was planted in order to create 560 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: additional buzz around everything. Spielberg touches yep, and now my 561 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 2: watch is listening. I don't know if you've heard that. 562 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: Did they come out over there? Did you hear that? 563 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 2: I thought you were talking to someone, Yeah, my watch was. 564 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: My watch was listening and jumped right in. So obviously 565 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,239 Speaker 2: the government is in on that too. They're listening and 566 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 2: they know what's up. So they say that the secrecy, 567 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: the the hush hush, and now this little buzz could 568 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: be a strategy to build this hype for a film. 569 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 4: Who I guess. 570 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: Spielberg hasn't had a hit since Ready Player one. Mark 571 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: you and I didn't even see that one. I didn't either. 572 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 7: It's been a while since he's done something super popular. 573 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 7: I mean, and that's after making the first blockbuster, which was. 574 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 11: John How old did the Fableman's Do? 575 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 4: I didn't see that either. I didn't. 576 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 11: They received seven Oscar nominations. 577 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 7: We got those in our sag after screeners, and I 578 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 7: just couldn't bring myself to sit through. 579 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 4: It was that? Was that Spielberg? Yeah, I didn't. 580 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 7: It wasn't going with David Lynch as as John Houston 581 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 7: or no was produced by Spielberg, not John Houston, because 582 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 7: it was supposed to be loosely about. 583 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: Oh yea yea yeah yeah, okay, yeah yeah yeah, directed 584 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: by oh yeah, directed by Spielberg, written by Spielberg. 585 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 4: Huh, No, I didn't see it.
