1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: Day Club, Yes don't here Today for Thursday, August twenty

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: ninth goes to forty seven year old Robert tells Our Talise.

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: Robert Talise is a former Novouda politician, a Clark County

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: public administrator who was convicted of murder. Let me tell

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: you something, man. There is a very memorable line from

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: a classic record called Renegade by Jay Z and Eminem,

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: and that's when jay Z says, just read a magazine

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: that effed up my day. That line is about criticism

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: and how criticism can oftentimes be unfair because the person

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: criticizing you knows nothing about you or the circumstances you

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: come from, so they probably can't relate to what it

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: is you're talking about. Now. The reason I'm bringing that

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: line up is because jay Z responded to journalism. He

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: didn't like VI a song, which is a very logical

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: and rational thing to do when you don't like what

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: someone has written about you. Why Robert Talise couldn't react

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: in a logical and rational way. When Jeff Jerman, a

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: long time Las Vegas Review Journal reporter, wrote a boy him,

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Well, let's go to CBS news

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: theory Paul Please, a former elected official from Las Vegas,

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: was found guilty of murder today and the deadly stabbing

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: of an investigative reporter who wrote negative stories about him.

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: Robert Tellis hung his head as he heard the verdict.

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Guilty a first orgree murder with you said the deadly weapon.

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: Prosecutors laid out a mountain of evidence against him, including

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: a motive for the murder of investigative reporter Jeff German.

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: German was found stabbed to death outside his home. He'd

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: written multiple articles alleging Tellus fostered a hostile work environment.

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: Taking the stand in his own defense, tell Us was

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: unable to explain pieces of a disguise found on his

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: property or his DNA on the victim.

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: How the world does your DNA get underneath mister German's fingernails.

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I did not kill mister gery.

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: He insisted the evidence was planted. Robert Tellis wept openly

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: in court as he faces a maximum sentence of life

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: in prison.

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you can play BNA on in nobody's fingernails.

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: But that's a difficult one. Do you know there are

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: there have been fourteen journalists killed in the US since

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. This story is making me scared. Yeah,

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: people killing journalists because of negative stories written about them.

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: All you YouTube was Towny Days. Damn it. I'm sorry,

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: that's not that's not right. Jeff German was sixty nine

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: and he wrote about the criminal element in Vegas. He

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: covered mobsters, crooked officials, and corrupt government agencies. By the way,

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: journalists like that. They are the bravest dropping the clues

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: bombs for journalists that do things like that. You're reporting

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: on entertaining as athletes, that's nothing. When you're out here

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: reporting on folks with actual real world power, government officials,

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: mobsters that can really touch you. You putting a different

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: type of target on your back. And that's exactly what

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: happened when Jeff Jermy decided to write that Robert Tulise

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: created a hostile work environment. This is why it's good

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: to be an artist. So ok, you see jay Z

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: he put his frustration in his music. Robert Talise gets

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: accused of creating a hostile work environment and he kills someone.

57
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Ellen Degenerous gets accused of creating a hostile work environment

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: because she creates a he that flick special. Clearly, one

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: of these individuals knows how to handle criticism and accusations

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: and the others does not. Also, Robert, you not beating

61
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: any of the accusations made against you when you react

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: with hostility to an article about you creating a hostile

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: working vinbent. When prosecutors are alleging, okay, that you killed

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: someone because you are angry about an article they wrote

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: about you, you are never beating that allegation. Okay. Then

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: they said he dressed up like one of the ninja

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: turtles when they be in disguise. They said, he put

68
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: on a big some sunglasses and a big straw hat

69
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: and went to the person's house, went to the German's

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: house to kill him. After you do something like that,

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: whatever they said you did, you did it. Now here's

72
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: the thing I want all journalists to understand. Robert murdered

73
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Jeff German because Jeff germans writing destroyed his career. I

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: put destroyed in quotation marks. Okay. He said it destroyed

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: his reputation, It threatened probably his marriage because he was

76
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: alleged to be having an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.

77
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: He said it exposed things that and he admitted he

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: did not want the public to know. But I have

79
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: a question, and the question I have if you so

80
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: mad at a person for reporting this, then why do

81
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: the why do the behavior to begin with? Okay, See

82
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: what we don't understand about situations like this was Robert

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 1: wasn't really mad at Jeff. He was mad at himself

84
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: because all Jeff did was write about what you were doing.

85
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: So if you're going to be mad and want to

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: kill someone, you should have actually probably started and ended

87
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: with you. Jeff German didn't ruin your career. Okay, Robert,

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: tell us you ruined your career. You are clearly a

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: person who makes poor choices. Okay, what does yokesh'all always

90
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: tell you? Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's

91
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: a matter of choice. You made the choice to create

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: a hostile work environment, you made the choice to have

93
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: an inappropriate relationship with a staff, and you made the

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: choice to kill somebody because they decided to write about

95
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: what you was doing. Robert, look in the mirror and

96
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: say it's me, Hi, I'm the problem. It's me. You

97
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: are the issue. Okay, cause and effect. Take away the

98
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: cause and the effect ceases. You are the cause. Please

99
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: give Robert to Lease. The biggest sea hull donkey of
