1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Monday, December fifteenth, and the

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: story that has since shockwaves through Hollywood has in some

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: ways become even more shocking because now word is that

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner's own son has been booked for murder, and

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes.

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Shocking enough, Rob Reiner legend in Hollywood and his wife

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: found dead, got word that it was an apparent homicide,

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: and now word that it's their son that is facing charges.

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: It's tragedy upon tragedy. I cannot even imagine those who

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: loved him and knew him, but certainly his other children.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: He and his wife, Michelle had three children together. Nick

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: was among them, Nicks thirty two year old son who

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: has been arrested now for murder. But they have a daughter,

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: they have another son, and Rob has an adopted daughter

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: as well. So just the grief that those people alone

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: are experiencing right now is compounded with the fact that

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: their own brother is now charged with murdering their parents.

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: And this was a brother who has a history of trouble,

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: He had drug addiction issues, he had issues with his family,

20
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: and they were well known. But it seemed as though

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: he had been sober since twenty fifteen.

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: Things were.

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Getting better and the family was doing better, and they

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: were open about it.

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: We don't know what in God's name could have led

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: to anything like this, but multiple news outlets are quoting

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: their law enforcement sources out there in Los Angeles saying

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: it does appear, yes, in fact, that they had stab wounds,

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: and even TMZ is reporting much bigger headline about their

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: just graphic as it is. Again we report on TMZ

31
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: because quite frankly, they get it right most of the time,

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: but reporting that it was a pretty vicious death, possibly

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: for these two. So that suggests some type of look

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: a stabbing, a knife being used, whatever it can be

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: speculated about the family and the dynamics and what could

36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: have caused this or is he I mean, he's innocent,

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: Dell proven guilty as well. Correct, But this is where

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: we are rose the story. I guess it's kind of

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: fast moving because it was just shocking the story itself.

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: But we finally got more details officially from police about

41
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: how this transpired yesterday.

42
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: Yes, So what we understand is it was around three

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: o'clock yesterday, three o'clock three thirty yesterday, LA time, where

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: a family member found the bodies of Rob and Michelle

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: and they called police, and police got to the scene

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: very quickly and determined they were dead. But they said

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: by the time, I think about five hours later, at

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: nine to fifteen pm, So they first arrived the house

49
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: probably just before four pm, about five hours they actually

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: took Nick into custody and at five oh four am,

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: that's eight am Eastern time, he was booked for murder.

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: So they wrapped this up very quickly. But apparently, according

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: to some news sources, the family member immediately pointed police

54
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: in the direction of Nick.

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: And this is why they were trying to piece together.

56
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Police out there in Los Angeles, we know from a

57
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: long history, come under a lot of scrutiny, especially with

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: high profile cases, so maybe they were trying to be very,

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: very very careful in handling this case. But last night,

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: when we first got a worried about this, that was

61
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: very little information, nothing and even to the point of

62
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: mockery that they had a press conference but couldn't answer anything.

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: But one of the big questions Robes was wait a minute,

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: you're telling us that you're not looking for a suspect,

65
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: but you're telling us you have a homicide, but the

66
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: general public doesn't need to worry. Those things didn't add up,

67
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and a couple of reporters followed up and followed up

68
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: and never got an answer, and this may be why

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: we got the answers we got.

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: And look, given the timing of it, it doesn't seem

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: as though they were being very forthcoming, because if he

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: was taken into custody at nine to fifteen pm, those

73
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: reporters were asking questions throughout the evening and they said

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: they didn't have any suspects, but clearly they did have

75
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: someone in mind, and now they are acknowledging that in fact,

76
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: it was the son of Michelle and Rob Reiner. But

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: this was and it's just shocking because this was such

78
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: an open family and there's a movie actually I have

79
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: not have you watched, Being Charlie. So this was a

80
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: movie that they actually did together in collaboration with their

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: son Nick, about his struggles, about their struggles as a family.

82
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: It was depicted fictionally, but it was based on their

83
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: own actual experiences. And they say, now it's haunting if

84
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: we think some folks who've been quoting some of the

85
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: lines for the movie, it's it's very haunting to see

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 2: what we believe transpired now so sadly over the weekend

87
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: at the Reiners home and what was depicted in that movie, and.

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Folks as we are and a lot of people are

89
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: trying to pick up pieces, and I guess you know,

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: there is no one who is within the sound of

91
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: our voices that has not been impacted by Rob Ronner

92
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: film in one way, form or fashion, even if you

93
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen one. So many of what's in those movies

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: are a part of pop culture that they are in

95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: your life in some way, form or fashion. But as

96
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Hollywood is shocked and in mourning, who has stepped right

97
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of this is President Donald Jay Trump.

98
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Now we're going to share it with you in a

99
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: moment and lets you take it in for yourself. The

100
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: words that he used to I guess to say rest

101
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: in peace, but made an absolute mockery of the deaths

102
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: of Rob Reiner and his wife. We will get into

103
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: that in a second, but yes, he has stepped in it.

104
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: But before we go there wrote it. Really it is

105
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: one of without a question, it maybe top three movie

106
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: of all time is Princess Bride. For me, I've never met,

107
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: had seen Harry met Sally.

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh so good. Yet in fact, I've always wanted you

109
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: to watch it with me, so maybe now we'll take

110
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: a moment to do it. It's brilliant. It actually has been

111
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: credited with bringing rom comms to the fever pitch that

112
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: they got to in the nineties. Because of that, it

113
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: was kind of a dying genre, and when that one

114
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: came out, all of a sudden, people thought, wow, you

115
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: can do them smartly. You can have some fun with

116
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: the genre and make it interesting and comedic and wonderful.

117
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: And there was a beautiful story that came out of

118
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: that about his own love story with his wife. I

119
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: didn't know this.

120
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't know how the movie ended anyway,

121
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: but I didn't know that he changed the ending of

122
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: the movie because he, as they say, as the story

123
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: goes the poetic ways, he believed in love again. The

124
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: two weren't going to end up together at the into

125
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: that movie, but he changed the ending after he met

126
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: fell in love with his.

127
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: Wife on the set, Michelle Yes.

128
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Who remained as well. How many years they got.

129
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: Married in nineteen eighty nine. I believe so me and

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: Matth don't do well together, but well established decades long

131
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: happy marriage, and this was a second marriage for him.

132
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, they fell in love and so I didn't

133
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: know that he rewrote the ending of When Harry met

134
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: Sally to have a happy ending because of his wife Michelle.

135
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: That's a beautiful thing. But yes, the movies are endless.

136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the Princess Bride is personal for us.

137
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 2: But American President is delightful. Field, I love that movie.

138
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: That is such a good movie. It's one of your favorites.

139
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: A few good men. But yeah, and we were talking

140
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 2: about how he could go from rom coms to action

141
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: packed movies to thrillers Misery.

142
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Misery was his.

143
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: There was a connection with Stephen King because stand by

144
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: me obviously Stephen King as well.

145
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: But no, this was brilliant.

146
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: Some people are obviously weighing in and saying the most

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: incredible things about the talent of Rob Reiner and his

148
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: philanthropy and his political leanings and just his passion for

149
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: life and just being a part of things. But some

150
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: I saw someone wrote that saying he's a legend actually

151
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: doesn't even do him justice. He's so much more than that.

152
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 2: He changed movies, He changed how we felt about movies.

153
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: He made an impact on so many of us that

154
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: we didn't even realize he was behind.

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: When he changed himself. He was an actor, I mean,

156
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: he was a successful one at the time.

157
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: What was his character's name, Meadhead. He was the son

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: in law of Archie Bunker.

159
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: Yes, So he made a shift in a transition and

160
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: then changed Hollywood. He changed Hollywood. He was he was

161
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: incredibly impactful. And look a sudden death is I mean,

162
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a shocking, sudden type of thing. But when you

163
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: lose some money like this to this type of violence,

164
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: it sends a different type of chill. And you see

165
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: someone who has been i mean a wild success. We

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: talk about, yes, movies, but we talk about his philanthropy

167
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: and his political activism. Yes, is something he's become just

168
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: as known for. Yes, maybe he wasn't on your side

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: of the political leanings, but you have to give him

170
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: credit for being as active as he was to him

171
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: for to end like this. We've seen several stories in Hollywood, unfortunately,

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: great incredible public successes and then something is going on

173
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and you go, my god. We all

174
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: need to take good inventory of our lives and what's

175
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: really important to us.

176
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: Right, And I think it's another You could point to

177
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: the lifestyle perhaps of a celebrity that maybe led to

178
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: having the level of family strife, drugs, etc. But you

179
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: could look at any family in any economic strata anywhere

180
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: in the country or world for that matter, and know

181
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: that these problems don't skip over wealthy people, they don't

182
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: skip over famous people, they don't skip over folks who've

183
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: been successful. We're all human beings. And the Rhiners were

184
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: in the middle of it and they were having difficulties

185
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: and this is the most horrific ending you could possibly imagine.

186
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: But yeah, you don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

187
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: You don't know what people are dealing with, despite what

188
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: they may show to all of us on the outside.

189
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Things are happening to so many of us, and we

190
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: should all be helping one another. This is just the

191
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: moment where you don't want to be pointing the finger.

192
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: You want to be realizing that so many of us

193
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: are all in pain in different ways.

194
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: They just want to give everybody a break. Sometimes you

195
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: never know, even the person that looks like they have

196
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: it all, you just never know. You got to give

197
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: everybody a break. But somebody who was not giving the Rhiners,

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: their friends, their family, their fans a break at all

199
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: today was President Donald Trump. He has been known, of course,

200
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: as you all know, as someone who can fly off

201
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and say all kinds of wild things on social media.

202
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:22,359
Speaker 1: We have never heard anything like this before. Stay here,

203
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: all right, Welcome back, folks. We continue on this day

204
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: that we got news overnight that Hollywood legend Rob Bryner

205
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: and his wife had been killed an apparent homicide, and

206
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: a short time later, as of this recording here on Monday,

207
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: their son Nick thirty two years old, has been booked

208
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: for murder in the death of his mom Michelle and

209
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: dad Rob Reiner now ropes in the middle of all this,

210
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: and I guess we've done episodes. We've actually done episode

211
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: podcast episodes. Just reading President trump social media post his

212
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: truth said he does on truth social I think we

213
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: as a country, we aren't shocked by a lot of

214
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: what he says. That's fair to say.

215
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: It at this point, yes, because he says he says

216
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: things that no other president, sitting or otherwise I believe,

217
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: has ever said. And so you start to get desensitized

218
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: by his tone, sometimes even by his word choice that

219
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: is cancelable for anyone else. And yet somehow he'll throw

220
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: words around that are completely inappropriated, and we all just

221
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: look over it.

222
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: Female reporters. He was just calling them piggy. Yes, yes, right,

223
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: And he for some reason that story went away and

224
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: he used the R word.

225
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, not a problem to talk about the

226
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: governor of Minnesota.

227
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: And it kind of just went away. And for whatever

228
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: reason he is we hold him to a different standard.

229
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: That's our fault if we do that. But the bar

230
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: is lower. There's a standard that's lower. That doesn't count.

231
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: So he can say a lot of stuff and we

232
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: keep rolling. This was different. He put out a true

233
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: so post you have in front of you. I did well. Okay,

234
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: he put out a true social post. I am not.

235
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: We don't need to interpret. We just need you to

236
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: hear what he said about the death of Rob Rner.

237
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: All right, this is what President Trump put on truth social.

238
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner,

239
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: a tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director

240
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle,

241
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive,

242
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known

243
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: as Trump derangement syndrome, and he put that in all caps,

244
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: sometimes referred to as TDS. So he goes on to

245
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: say this he was known to have driven people crazy

246
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with

247
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration

248
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness and with the

249
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: golden Age of America upon us perhaps like never before.

250
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: May Rob and Michelle rest in peace. What the actual f.

251
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: This is one where I would ask somebody to check

252
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: on him. That's I don't I don't need to interpret.

253
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the President of the United States,

254
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: sarcastically mocking and joking about someone being so obsessed with

255
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: President Trump that you drove other people around you crazy

256
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: to the point that your own son turned on you

257
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: and murdered you. That's not funny. And what were we

258
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: just talking about? Robes? What was everybody upset about? Don't

259
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: you dare say anything close to mocking the death of

260
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: Charlie Kerr.

261
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: Don't you come close to even acting as if it

262
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: was either justified or something to joke around about.

263
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: And you better be sad. They were even getting on

264
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: the people for not being sad enough, not mourning hard enough.

265
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: But now the President of the United States within hours

266
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: of this news coming out we haven't even had, not

267
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: that it would ever be okay, but twenty four hours

268
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: haven't even passed, and he is mocking, openly mocking a

269
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: man who was, according to police, viciously stabbed to death

270
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: by his own son.

271
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: Ah oh, okay, Well, look that's part of it. And

272
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: the President has a way sometimes rose no matter what's

273
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: going on in pop culture, to put himself right in

274
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: the middle of it, and he has done so this

275
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: time in a way that I don't understand why it

276
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: was necessary. This is one where it's seeing it does

277
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that does not seem that this came

278
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: from a man who's okay, who was having a that

279
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: is that is a break from reality and decency that

280
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: even for this guy, I think, I don't know what

281
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: in God's name that's about.

282
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: Well, and the White House, by the way, did not

283
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: respond to all of the requests I've seen so far

284
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: by reporters asking for some clarification and some frankly, some

285
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: hard questions that need to be asked of the president

286
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: as to why he did this, and so far there

287
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: has been no response. But you can't imagine that that

288
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: journalists are going to let this go. He is going

289
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: to have to answer to this.

290
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: I doesn't ask the question right. He didn't have to

291
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: say anything. He voluntarily sat down and typed this out.

292
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: I guess why.

293
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: That's and that's the question why.

294
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, folks, that is it has been a fast

295
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,600

00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: blast several things. Its verdicts and shootings and manhunts and

297
