That news broke about a week ago, almost 71 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: exactly a week ago, we were doing the show and 72 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 2: I remember it was about a six thirty commercial break 73 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: where all of a sudden I got the alert and 74 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 2: it was like, you gotta be kidding me. 75 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 3: This can't be true. 76 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: And it was like they found bodies at the home 77 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: of the Riiners, and in your mind, you're going just 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: please let it not be them, Please let it not 79 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: be them, Please let it not be them. And then 80 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: of course, obviously it turned out in a way that 81 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: we didn't like. Yeah, So here we are a week later, 82 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: and we know, all right, it was probably the sun. Again, 83 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: it is until proven guilty, but there's a lot of 84 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: evidence it seems against him. 85 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: And so then the question is why did he do it? 86 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: And was he was he out of his mind? 87 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: And I think this is going to be key to 88 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: the defense because the more you hear about what was happening, 89 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: the more you think, oh, they're going to try to 90 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: run with an insanity plea. So there's an addiction specialist 91 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: talking with Entertainment tonight. His name is Richard Tait, and 92 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: he was talking about this revelation this week that came 93 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: out that Nick Reiner, accused of killing his parents, was schizophrenic. 94 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 7: As for Nick's mental state, I just read a report 95 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 7: that was saying that he had schizophrenia and that the 96 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 7: medications made him dangerous. 97 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: I wonder what the addiction specialist says about that. How 98 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: many times do you hear people saying, oh, that was 99 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: the medication, they did it. I always have trouble believing 100 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: that the medication made someone worse. But also, I'm not 101 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: a pharmacist, I'm not a doctor. I don't know. But 102 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: oftentimes you'll have somebody that'll be on like an antidepressant, 103 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: and then they'll do something and then they say, well, 104 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: it was the antidepressant's fault, and you go, was it really? 105 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 2: Because I feel like if they hadn't been taking it, 106 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: that they were in a not great spot either. 107 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 6: You don't get you don't jibe with that. 108 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 8: Now, listen, when you change your meds, it typically takes 109 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 8: six weeks for it even to start working, okay, and 110 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 8: all of a sudden, you know, he's diagnosed with schizophrenia. 111 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 8: I mean, look, what other defense does he have. 112 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 7: Is it true, though, that using drugs like cocaine or 113 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 7: amphetamines can increase the risk of developing schizophrenia? 114 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 6: Is that true? 115 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: Does she know the answer to that question? I feel 116 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: like she does. 117 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 2: I mean, a good reporter typically knows the answer to 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: a question like that before they ask the expert. 119 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 8: Schizophrenia like symptoms that are hard to distinguish from schizophrenia. 120 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 8: That's a more accurate statement. 121 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 3: That feels like we're splitting hairs. Could he have so? 122 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: Is he schizophrenic? 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: No? 124 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: He just acts like it what Wait a minute, what 125 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: is it? H Do you have lung cancer? 126 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: No, but you have some lung cancer looking spots on 127 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: your lungs and you're coughing up and you're dying. It 128 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 2: feels like lung cancer. 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 6: Then could he have snapped? If he relapsed? 130 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 8: It depends, right, the circumstances have to support it. 131 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: I feel like this addiction specialist is really good at 132 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: his job. Genuinely, he's really good, and he doesn't want 133 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: to get pinned down on black and white binary choices. 134 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 3: Is it good? Is it bad? 135 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: Like he sees the nuance in addiction. It's not great 136 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: for news clips though. 137 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 8: So in this case, what I've been reading is he 138 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 8: was at this party and he was exhibiting bizarre and 139 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 8: aberrant behavior. 140 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: That was the. 141 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: That was the Colin O'Brien party, right where they were 142 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: like everybody was reporting or they got into a fight. 143 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 8: They arrested him in the south central Los Angeles area, 144 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 8: in an area where people score dope there. 145 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 3: People well, that feels like, no, that's accurate. People buy 146 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 3: drugs there. 147 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 6: A new report today claims party. 148 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 7: Goers wanted to call nine one one, but host Conan 149 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 7: O'Brien and talk them out of it. 150 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 6: Conan hasn't commented and what could have been the motive. 151 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, before we get to that, imagine you're having a party. 152 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: Just imagine you're having a big blowout. You're a celebrity, 153 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: You got a bunch of celebrities around you, and then 154 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: there's an argument between one of the biggest in Hollywood. 155 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: And his son who has had trouble for years. 156 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: Right, Imagine that's your party, and then imagine that somebody 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: else comes up to you and says we should call 158 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: nine one one. I mean, the last thing you want 159 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: is for all of a sudden, your party ends up 160 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: lastered all over page six and the Hollywood Reporter to 161 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: talk about how, oh, Conan's party goes off the rails. 162 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: Conan loses control of his own party. Conan this Conan 163 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: that so I totally understand why Conan O'Brian would say, whoh, 164 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 2: maybe we don't call nine one one. Let's let's figure 165 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: out how we can kind of we don't need to 166 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: draw attention to this, right And you've got a number 167 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: of other celebrities there that are like, look, I'm here 168 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: and discretion is going to be key, and don't go 169 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: to these Hollywood parties because I want to end up 170 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: in the police blotterer as a witness to something. So yeah, 171 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: let's maybe not call nine one one. I totally understand 172 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: why Conan would not do it.

Who's going to make up the 313 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 11: rest of those percentages? 314 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: Do we know anything about the personal data because that 315 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: was the big concern by many members of Congress, including 316 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: some of the Trump administration. Right now, well, that's going 317 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: to continue to be sold, but now we're going to 318 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: make American dollars on it. 319 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 3: Whether the Chinese could use this to spy on American absolutely. 320 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 11: Was actually President Trump that brought it up himself in 321 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 11: his first term as a concern, and he also we 322 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 11: saw it pass out of committees with total bipartisan support 323 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 11: when any of this legislation was on the hill. So 324 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 11: it's a great question what they say they're going to 325 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 11: do about that, And again details are scarce but the 326 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 11: company does say that there's going to be a trusted 327 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 11: security partner. They're called it to essentially do an audit 328 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 11: on the data, and then after that step is completed, 329 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 11: Larry Ellison's Oracle, who's already been managing the data for 330 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 11: American users, will take that over in a more robust way. 331 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: That's you know what this might be where Paramount screwed up. 332 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: Paramount probably should have pitched to Warner Brothers, Look, don't 333 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: go to Netflix, come to us.

One participate compares the family process 588 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: to an interactive bachelorette, suggesting the dating apps are less 589 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 2: about romance and more about. 590 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 3: The group critique. 591 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: Sounds to me like they're all just sitting around and 592 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: that's basically the dating life has become the reality show 593 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: for the family. 594 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: But you kept saying you loved it. 595 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 13: I love it, and I'll tell you why please. 596 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 12: So first of all, we're in a mating crisis, big 597 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 12: old mating crisis, and we actually are not replacing the population, 598 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 12: have not been for a while. Parents are upset because 599 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 12: they don't have grandkids. The government's upset because they're not 600 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 12: having young there in a few years, not enough young 601 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 12: workers paying into the system to help the older people. 602 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 13: And I've always said relationships are. 603 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 12: A bridge between tribes, and the best relationships begin within 604 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 12: the tribe. In the olden days, you lived in a 605 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 12: small town or village and there was a small dating 606 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 12: pool and it was kind of tribe approved in some way. 607 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 12: And so now it's a weird thing to meet a 608 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 12: stranger who is not part of your tribe, not part 609 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 12: of anything. And so it's good the more people can 610 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 12: weigh in, because the other thing is when somebody has 611 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 12: a crush, it's like they put on rose colored glasses. 612 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 12: Love really is a delusion, and they can't see. They 613 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 12: just go, oh my god, there's a gorgeous and they've 614 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 12: been texting me so nicely. 615 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 6: I love that. 616 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 12: And they're like, uh, he doesn't have a job. Okay, 617 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 12: you're not dating it, right, So I love this. The 618 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 12: more people get involved. 619 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 3: The better. So that feels like. 620 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: As much as you're so positive about relationships, that feels 621 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: like a very dark take on. 622 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 3: Somebody's early tell you go on. 623 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 12: Relationships are the most important decision you will ever make 624 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 12: in your lifespan. And as much as love is filled 625 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 12: with joy and pleasure, it can equally be filled with danger. 626 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 13: It can be dark. 627 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 12: First of all, one in four women will become victims 628 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 12: of domestic violence. 629 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 13: No woman is murdered, the. 630 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 12: Most likely suspect is her intimate partner. This is a 631 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 12: life or death decision. Don't make light of it, Chris. 632 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: I'm certainly not making a light of it. 633 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 2: Indeed, however, I feel as though you're putting too much 634 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 2: darkness on something that I think is very beautiful. I mean, 635 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 2: I can't disagree with the statistics, and they are terrifying. 636 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: Please let me preface it by saying that. But at 637 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: the same time, had my wife been overly scrutinius of 638 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: our early relationship, we wouldn't have been together for twenty 639 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,239 Speaker 2: one years because she would have very quickly said this 640 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: guy's moron, which she probably should have done. 641 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 13: Yeah, but okay, have you cheated on her? 642 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: Be honest? 643 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 13: Okay? 644 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 12: Have you gone into deep bankruptcy with her money and 645 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 12: spend her money wildly in a Casinoh? 646 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: No? 647 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 13: Have you hit her? 648 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 3: No? 649 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 13: Have you abused the children? 650 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 3: No? 651 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 13: She chose. 652 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 2: Well, that's a pretty low bar.
