Rob Reiner Murder BREAKING: Will Son Raise "The Menendez Defense"? Ilhan Omar in BIG TROUBLE & MORE!
|

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, in this post-truth universe in which we cannot even believe our own eyes because of the advent of AI, one must preface all videos by saying they are in fact AI.
Despite the fact that it was so painfully obvious, one would either have to be delusionally gullible or AI very real.
The AI in this is sufficiently fake such that I did not think I needed to give the prelude that it was AI, but it seems I must.
Candace Owens describing her meeting with Erica Kirk.
Behold.
I know all you guys want to know what happened during my meeting with Erica.
So here it goes.
We met in Nashville because I didn't want to fly anywhere and have my plane shut down by Israel.
So I told her to come here instead.
She gets here and first thing she does is she gives me some homemade cookies.
And I'm like, bitch, I ain't eating those poisoned chocolate chip cookies.
She tried to poison me.
Anyway, I'm still alive after almost dying from the poisoned Israeli cookies.
And we start talking.
Then you're not going to believe what happened next.
The waiter asks us if we want something to drink, but he's wearing the Star of David.
So I'm like, I ain't about to drink no poisons lemonade from you, you Mossad agent.
So anyway, I almost die again from Israeli lemonade poisoning.
And Erica is like, I'll just have some water, please, which is obviously code for you better kill this bitch right now.
Am I right?
So we talk and we talk.
And she tells me I'm acting crazy or whatever.
So I asked her to show me pictures of her of when she was younger.
I think up until now, even Candace Owens would agree that this is hilarious.
I think the last 15 seconds goes a little bit too ad hominem.
This is just good comedic gold.
Anybody who thought this was real or thought the need to specify this is AI, I won't judge you publicly, but I'm thinking it.
Now we get to the end.
And she's like, why?
So I'm like, oh my God, she doesn't have any.
So I just discovered she's actually a man.
And I'm now talking to this man who is probably an Israeli spy sent her to kill me.
So I just, I get up, I go to the bathroom, I dig a hole under the shitter like El Chapo, and I finally made it back to tell you guys the story and get paid millions by YouTube to keep you guys stupid and against Trump and turning point because I'm just a piece of shit like that.
Anyway, it could have ended at a minute and 27 seconds and been perfect.
Had to go a little bit too hard against the ad hominems and whatnot.
There was comedic gold in there.
Thank you for your views, retards.
All right.
So right up until the end, that's damn good.
Look, I didn't think I needed to preface that that was AI before posting it.
It seems that I might have needed to specify that that was AI before posting it.
It's obvious.
I mean, first of all, one must now operate on the premise that everything is fake.
Here's the link if you want to share it because it's pretty damn funny.
Right up until a minute and 27 seconds, the rest of it was a little gratuitous and a little bit too personal ad hominem.
But the beginning part, I'm certain that Candace would say, yeah, that's pretty damn funny.
The twist that Erica is a man because she has no pictures of childhood, comedic gold.
Now, all that to say, you wanted to start with something relatively lighthearted before we get into the Rob Reiner stuff and some, I've been having some thoughts overnight about the discussions pertaining to, I'm not really going to cover Trump's post anymore, truth post.
I mean, people are now, you know, making their political fodder with it, using it as their whatever, next line of attack.
You know, they probably would have found anything to criticize Trump about, much like the guy there killed Tony.
What's his first name?
Tony?
Henchcliffe, when he did his joke about the floating island of garbage, otherwise known as Puerto Rico.
And then everyone's, oh my goodness, a shock comic said something terrible.
They would have found something, but there's some thoughts that I've had about the discussion.
But the news, which I don't care to get into any more than summary covering of it, is what's her face.
Candace Owens met with Erica Kirk, and they had a four and a half hour long conversation, and it was productive.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall there.
I mean, the thing is, it couldn't have just been her and Erica.
They had to have each had counsel.
And I'm picturing like an episode of The Simpsons where you got your Nerdlinger lawyer like, hold on one second.
Let me see if we can answer this question.
Okay, you may answer.
Three words, no more.
I want to know what that meeting looked like and who was recording it because they both had to have been recording it.
It must have been transcribed.
They had to have had lawyers.
We're going to find out.
Erica Kirk meeting with Candace Owens.
Very productive.
Erica Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and right-wing podcaster Candace Owens, emerged from their lengthy meeting Monday, describing the conversation as productive and suggesting tensions had eased.
Had a very productive conversation with Real Candace.
Oh, more to come from both of us.
Looking forward to Anfest this week.
Time to get back to work.
Said Kirk, who took over Turning Point USA as CEO after her husband was assassinated.
We all know that part.
Owens, who has publicly criticized the new CEO and pushed conspiracy theories about her husband's death in recent months, said she was surprised by how well the meeting went and said, quote, tensions were thawed, end quote, between them.
Erica and I had an extremely productive four and a half hour meeting that I think we both should feel should have taken place a lot earlier than it did.
We agreed much more than I had anticipated.
Of course, we also disagreed on various points as well.
Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent.
Owens said she would share more at a future date.
Owens has emerged.
So bottom line, they met.
Owens has doubted the explanation given by the FBI and has frequently promoted theories about the incident without providing proof of the claims causing friction among groups on the far right.
In a CBS News town hall last week, Erica Kirk was asked about conspiracy theories promoted by Owens and others and dismissed them as baseless, noting she's seen FBI evidence linking the accused assassin to the shooter.
Like I said, at least as far as my theory goes and my not necessarily believing the official narrative, if we believe George Zinn, have we all forgotten about the old man, the man who's known as the campus lunatic, who apparently also witnessed 9-11 or another terrorist attack, immediately said he was the shooter and got arrested.
And then they looked on his phone and he had child pornography on his phone.
And we just forget about that guy?
Oh, yeah, the guy who was so deranged, he admitted to being the shooter, then handed over his phone to authorities where they promptly found child pornography.
We just forget about him.
We forget about the Discord and the posts that were being made prior to the event saying something big is going to happen at University of Utah to Charlie Kirk.
It's not a threat.
It's a promise.
Like we've forgotten about all these posts in advance indicating that multiple people had advanced warning.
And then the university leaves the only rooftop open despite having assured the Charlie Kirk team, security team, that the roof was covered.
And then this activist, lunatic, furry, whatever the heck Helsey was into, gets access to that roof after having already, you know, allegedly etched on his bullets, hey, fascist, cast, chowbella, whatever, an etching that his furry trans lover was aware of.
Hey, remember when I was etching those bullets?
Because that's totally normal.
That's what normal people do.
So people in a Discord chat, multiple, had advanced knowledge of this.
And we haven't heard boo from who had advanced knowledge of this, whether or not Tyler Robinson or anyone in that Discord chat were known to authorities, whether or not there were any authorities in that Discord chat.
You know, handlers, people manipulating people.
And bear in mind, this is my own personal theory.
Although some of this is, you know, it's based in fact, but it's my own personal theory connecting the dots.
We're talking about radicalization of Tyler Robinson, the other murderer, their crooks, Ryan Ruth, and now apparently the, what we're told is the January 6th pipe bomber, all within the same period.
And we know that some of them, you know, had some interesting connections.
But the bottom line, I wanted to start with that video because it was hilarious.
And we can quickly go over the update.
They met.
You know, it's, there's an element, you know, I want to say narcissism, but we should have done this a little bit earlier and tensions have been eased as though, you know, in the broad scheme of Charlie Kirk assassination, the story is about Candace.
That being said, you know, nobody's got a problem asking questions.
But like I've been pointing out to some people, when you make positive assertions the day of with no facts whatsoever, and then you don't answer any questions, but you only ask questions after making positive assertions of fact that later get demonstrably debunked, you're not just asking questions.
What you are doing, which you're still within your rights to do, you're within your rights to stir controversy.
You're within your rights to test out theories, but you're no longer asking questions.
And somebody who just says, I'm just asking questions, but I never answer a bloody question, that's disingenuous question asking.
So that's that.
Starting off with that.
Now, my eye has been itching me for the last minute and I didn't want to scratch it.
Oi, I wanted to start off with that or another video, which I'm going to do because it's going to, you know, need to cleanse the palate.
We need to have a bit of a laugh, but also a bit of the wholesomeness of life.
I saw this and I'm like, I've watched this video.
I think I'm about to spend 15 minutes watching this video because it gets funnier as the video plays, but then it gets funnier as you re-watch the video.
The kids at a hockey game, and it's a Detroit Red Wings, and we know what dedicated fans they are.
The camera goes to him, pans away.
Every time it pans away to the opposing team, the crowd starts booing.
It goes back to him.
They start cheering even louder.
Listen to this.
It's glorious.
This kid is destined for greatness or mind control.
This kid, he controls 25,000 people.
Getting louder and the crowd knows.
They just, it's organic.
This guy, what did he do to deserve that?
I mean, he's wearing a Vancouver.
I think we get one more.
This kid, he's like, what the hell?
Yeah, we get one more.
Boom.
And listen to how loud they get right now.
It's glorious.
It's glorious.
It's good, wholesome awesomeness, which is the perfect segue into our sponsor for today's stream, which is also good, wholesome awesomeness.
And it is the Chicago State Company.

Now that's a knife.
By the way, that knife, good observation, by the way.
Is that the knife that we, I closed the website.
That's a knife that I got down the street.
It's like a Brazilian handmade, hand-sharpened knife, and it was an anniversary present, as was the cutting board.
All right, people.
Let's get into the, let's start with the mild crap.
Ilhan Omer.
She's in big shit, and she's looking like she knows that she's in big shit.
Now, I have no insider information.
I read the news.
I aggregate as much information as I can, and I come to the best conclusions that I can based on the information out there.
I am now thoroughly convinced, in my humble opinion, she did, in fact, commit immigration fraud by marrying her brother to bring her brother over here.
I'm so convinced about it.
And what is convincing me more than the evidence, which we've already had, which is, you know, there's some documentary evidence which everyone can question.
We've had a broad denial, pun intended.
Yeah, that's not bad.
We've had a broad and ambiguous denial from Ilhan Omar, not categoric, not definitive, not on point.
And right now, we are having what I'm referring to as a Darvo meltdown of a panic attack trying to cloak itself as best it can as a strong definitive denial, which we never see.
This is her running away from answering the question.
And just look at her demeanor.
I'm going to play it without commentating.
And I am not a body language expert, but I consider myself to be damn good at reading people.
You don't spend 13 years practicing law and incidentally avoiding ethics complaints and avoiding legal issues and avoiding problems with clients and or opposing counsel.
You don't spend 13 years doing that without being a reasonably good judge of character and judge of demeanor.
And you get burnt every now and again off a very, very bad client.
And my goodness, did I have a couple?
And you learn from your mistakes.
You say, why didn't I trust my gut when I said that man looks like a bat shit, lunatic, crazy person?
And you develop your radar and you develop your red flags.
And I actually put up a video way back in the day, like five indicators as to a bad client because they typically have similar similarities.
I'll maybe republish that.
Watch Ilhan Omer run from the question and watch as she answers.
And you tell me what you notice in the chat.
And I'm going to tell you my observations after I play it without opening my big fat trap for 27 seconds.
Let's see if I can do it.
Do it.
Congressman, can I ask you your response to Tom Holman saying you're under investigation for immigration, possible immigration violations?
Just any response you have to what he's saying in the public.
I have a response because I don't know that they'll be investigating.
So you don't think they would find anything?
Absolutely not possible.
Why do you think they keep bringing this up?
Congresswoman, can I ask you to do it?
I did it.
What do you notice, by the way?
I don't want to poison the well.
Sorry, I saw one comment that said she's porking out.
We do not make fun of people who gain weight.
She might be pregnant.
You never know.
What do you notice?
It took too long.
Absolute no eye contact.
Like, I was going to make, she won't, there you go.
She won't look at him.
Now, I was going to make some maybe more offensive analogies as to guilt in other living beings, but I'll just go with children.
If you've ever had a child and you've, you know, you know, when your children are lying and they're idiots for not knowing that you know when they're lying, they avoid eye contact.
I mean, as do house pets when they shit or piss in the house and they know they shouldn't have been like, who did that?
You know, if you have two dogs and you ask which one did it, who did that?
The one who did it will look away.
The one who didn't will look at you.
Look at that response to Tom Holman saying you're so who said no?
I don't want to know.
I think that's.
Can I ask you your response to Tom Holman saying you're on the other side?
I think that's not for immigration.
No, you may not.
Look at all immigration violations.
Just any positions you have to what he's saying in the public.
I have a response.
She's looking at an elevator door.
She's looking at an elevator door like she's allergic to the face and the question that is being asked of her.
Now she's looking up.
When is this elevator coming?
I've been here three seconds and I'm freaking out.
So you don't think in fairness, maybe she doesn't know who this guy is and she's a little scared.
Maybe.
Or maybe she's just a pathological liar who cannot look the man in the eyes while asking, answering that specific direct question.
Now they would find anything.
Absolutely not.
Look at her.
Looking to that.
Absolutely not.
I don't know.
And then, oh, what?
Why doesn't she know?
Because I don't even know what they're going to ask me.
It's like, no, I can't deny it.
Absolutely not.
And I can't deny the accusations because I don't even know what they're going to ask me.
I don't know what they're going to investigate.
Why do you think they keep bringing this up?
They're sick.
They're sick.
So that's a demeanor, at least as far as I'm concerned, of someone who is thoroughly, thoroughly cooked and knows that they're cooked.
And then, like some people say, perpetually trying to make herself the victim is another element of this.
We talk about it all the time.
Darvo, narcissistic, whatever you want to call it, the dark triad.
They got to make themselves the victim in this.
They're sick.
They're coming after me.
It's not the fact that how many times has she been married to begin with?
Nothing wrong with that.
I mean, people get married.
How many times has Ilhan Omar been married?
Three times.
I mean, I say I'm not judging anybody because, you know, some Donald Trump's been married.
How old is she?
How old is Ilhan Omar?
She's 43 years old and she's been married three times.
That's wild.
I mean, that's amazing.
How has she been married three times?
Why was she married three times?
Hey, she might not have even married her brother for immigration fraud.
She might have just married anybody, the dude, for immigration fraud.
And there's a presumption of immigration fraud if you marry somebody within a certain approximate temporal timeframe of moving into a country.
But look at this.
Ilhan Omar making herself the victim again.
The president's creepy obsession.
By the way, this is also dirty and insidious.
You know, when you're a woman, you can easily invoke these types of, oh, you're the president's.
He's practically stalking me.
I'm just a young, attractive woman.
And I think everyone's attracted to me.
And if anybody picks on me, if anybody accuses me or asks me questions, I get to say that they're big, bad men.
And I find them scary and creepy.
His creepy obsession with me is deeply unhealthy.
Trump falls back on the same tired bigotry.
Look, are you suggesting, Ilhan, that it's a stereotype of Somalis to marry their brothers?
I don't see anything bigoted in it.
First of all, there's plenty of people who commit immigration fraud, plenty of people who commit marriage fraud.
Is she suggesting that it's a trope of the Somali community that they marry siblings or that they marry relatives?
I can think of a few communities that are polar opposite of Somalis where people make those same types of jokes.
Trump falls back on the same tired bigotry to distract from his obvious failures.
His recycled xenophobia won't intimidate me or silence me in the fight for the people of Minnesota's 5th District.
I think some people might be asking right now, Ilhan, who are those people of the 5th district?
Now, but let's get to that article because the article is kind of interesting.
The Guardian is shit.
Some people don't use the word propaganda properly because they think that anything they don't like is propaganda.
Propaganda has a specific meaning.
It's pushing a political narrative in an organized campaign type manner, but in an inaccurate, politically biased manner.
The Guardian is propaganda.
Am I going to support this crap?
Hells to the bells.
No.
An unhealthy and creepy obsession.
Ilhan Momar on Trump's attacks.
The Zen-like U.S. representative, that's propaganda.
We just saw a video of her.
She ain't Zen.
She makes me look Zen by comparison.
And I ain't Zen.
Zen-like.
She looked like a deer in the headlights, trying to get the hell out of there as fast as she could.
Zen my ass.
Propaganda.
This is political framing, presuasion.
Understand it, identify it, and don't get duped by it.
The Zen-like U.S. representative from Minnesota has had the highest level of death threats of any congressperson because of the president's attacks.
I mean, what is it, a competition?
Now, first of all, I'm not sure I believe it.
I'm sure she gets, I believe that she gets some.
She get more than Marjorie Taylor Green.
Does she get more than Donald Trump?
More than Don Trump Jr.
Idiots.
Like, we're playing oppression Olympics, and I ain't believing what you're playing.
So, yeah, I believe they get threats.
They all do.
Does she get more than Marjorie Taylor Greene?
I'd be surprised.
More than Christy Noam?
More than JD Vance?
No, but they're the victims.
And they're the victims because of the scrutiny of others.
So don't scrutinize them.
I'm not going into this entire thing.
This is her third husband?
Do they tell us who Ilhan Omar?
I don't really want to go into it.
The bottom line is there seems to be some prima fascia evidence that she, in fact, married her brother for the purposes of immigration fraud.
And there might be other evidence that she lied.
And that might, you know, be grounds for denaturalizing.
You can't lie when you apply.
Now, whether or not it's going to be, this is going to be abused by the conservatives to go after ideological adversaries to abusively denaturalize these naturalized citizens.
What do you think the Democrats are going to do when they come into power?
Don't think I haven't thought about it.
But once you identify the tactics, there's an old expression in law: if they're crying, they're lying.
And typically people say if she's crying, she's lying.
But I can tell you how many men I've seen cry, tear up, feign that type of victimhood when they're having their asses handed to them in a deposition, in an examination, discovery, whatever you want to call it, interrogation.
If they're crying, they're lying.
And if they're trying to be the perpetual victims, they're trying to hide something.
Without a doubt.
Ilhan Omar.
Okay, I'm not.
Why did I pick up the wrong?
Okay, first of all, what I did want to bring up were all of the crumble rants for further discussion.
What do we have over in Rumble before we get to vivabondslaw.locals.com?
I thought this was real until she properly pronounced the word ask.
She pronounces the word ask properly.
It's Benny Johnson and Crockett who don't.
The Remanded, who's been doing some great work on the elections up in Canada, Elections BC and Electoral Committee are looking to bring in 70 changes to BC election law within three years.
I need to decide whether to file a lawsuit by January 1st regarding the 2024 BC election.
Cheers.
Those are decisions that I wouldn't want to have.
The Remanded, but check him out on Twitter.
Actually, let me just go share his account right now because he does good work in Remanded.
I know you've been sending me stuff, but I haven't been able to cover everything that I've ever wanted to cover and including that.
So don't take it personally, please.
But here is the link to the Remandeds Twitter feed.
Check them out if you're into Canadian politics.
If you're in Canada, absolute must follow.
The third crumble rant is dominate one, dominant one.
More people are more upset about Charlie Kirk dying than we were about the thousands of people dying during coronavirus.
Why do you make one more important than the thousands?
Well, I'm not sure I agree with you on that, first of all.
But even if I do agree with you on that, I mean, you go back to the Stalin said it, but it's a psychological phenomenon that one person is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.
I think you're right.
I'll concede that I think more people are angry about Charlie Kirk.
It's fresher.
It was more brutal.
It was personalized and individualized.
But I am shocked at how people just want to forget and move on from COVID.
I never will, ever in my life.
And maybe I'm going to be a cranky old, you know, God willing, touch wood, poopenahora, 85, 90 year old man saying, are you sons of bitches not talking about COVID anymore?
There's also the defeatist mentality where what are people going to do?
I think people have given up on the ability of any idea of justice, retribution, or even fixing the problems of COVID, because I think too many people are realizing that their neighbors were damn okay with 90% of what went down.
Don's wife over on vivabarneslaw.locals.com says Candace comes across as more, quote, transparent person.
Candace comes across as a more quote transparent person than Erica.
I disagree.
Something about Erica's demeanor feels like it is deceptive.
Or how about just I'm not trying to give you a hard time, Don's wife.
How about traumatized?
Her husband was just murdered.
Like she is going to be in a state of shock for the next year.
And she'll look back and say, I have no idea what happened in that year.
It's funny, deceptive is one way to look at it, but I would argue that that's your foregone conclusion.
It's traumatized, period.
I mean, that's it, in my view.
Candace seems more honest.
I actually, I don't want to pick on Candace.
She does, she just does some good stuff, but I think some of the stuff she does is clickbaity.
Since we will never get all the truth out, all we can go by is intuition and feelings.
Well, not if you're a journalist.
No, I feel.
I mean, the amount of time she says, I feel, it seems to me like she makes big, big, big, basic mistakes.
I mean, and then refuses to agree on them or concede, retract, then makes big, bold predictions.
And when they don't come true, you pick it up, oh, big 9-11 style attack, second week of December.
Mark this tweet.
It's going to age well.
That's almost demonic in what you're hoping to happen to look smart.
And then when it doesn't happen, you say, well, what happened in Australia was close enough.
I'm going to make a prediction.
There's going to be a 9-11 in the slamic style terrorist attack in the second week of December, also known as Christmas shopping, when you have markets being run over by trucks, gunmen opening fire.
It's been happening pretty consistently.
And so you make one of those types of awful predictions when it's what you're basically doing is just not predicting anything, but basically recapping a decade plus of actual events.
And then when something happens anywhere in the world, you claim victory as to what a prescient fortune teller you are.
Whether or not that's good or bad faith, it's just the same type of nonsense as these fortune teller palm readers who basically say, oh, you're going through stress.
Yes, everyone on earth has gone through stress and is probably going through stress.
And when you say, oh, I'm seeing something here, something involving a family member.
Yeah, 90% of the stress that people go through involves family members.
So that's it.
All right.
Jameson 2012 says, you need to look into Jesse Mac Buttercase in Oklahoma.
Yeah, I think you've said that one before, and I think I screenshotted that before.
And Sec 808 says, I think the biggest problem is that she may have changed her birthday to imply she was 17 when she obtained her citizenship via her father's vice vice being 18 and having never obtained citizenship.
So that I heard as well.
In addition to the fact that her, was it her whose father was escaping as a purported victim of the very same genocide and atrocity that he was he was committing?
I think that was also the issue there.
Okay.
We're not having a very long show today for reasons which I will explain at the end so that I can remain compartmentalized for the purposes of this show.
We're going to get to now the big story, which is some people don't think it's a big story at all.
We're going to talk about the Trump truth post, but not the Trump Truth Post anymore.
I've said what I said.
You know, the post is what it is.
I even reread it this morning.
I'm like, it really was tasteless, but it really wasn't as bad as I initially thought it was.
And it's certainly not bad enough to warrant the outrage that it's getting.
And it certainly is the distraction that they needed from their own foibles, their own failings, and their own vices.
What I wanted to get to is everybody's playing this video of Rob Reiner on Piers Morgan talking about the Charlie Kirk assassination.
And everyone's like, oh, this is the measure of the man.
Look at how he responded when Charlie Kirk was murdered.
And, you know, this is why Trump's tweet is a distraction in the actual sense, because it doesn't allow us to have this discussion without being bogged down with, but Trump's tweet was just terrible and this is what it should have been.
I want to play this because I've been thinking about it more and more.
And the more I think about it, the more frustrated I get about it.
Rob Reiner is not just a dead man.
He's not just dead.
And you don't speak ill of the dead because they're not dead to defend themselves.
He was murdered in the most brutal manner possible.
None of this is to say that there's some sort of cosmic justice.
None of this is to say that he deserved what he got.
I appreciate some people want to say that politically.
Where we're going to get into whether or not, not whether or not he got what he deserved, but whether or not there's other explanations for why or what could have contributed to what happened to him.
We're going to get into that in the next segment.
For now, the question is this: this statement, this response, is it the beautiful, thoughtful response that everybody's claiming it was?
And is it another example of Piers Morgan just being a schlock journalist?
I play it, and you know where I'm going with this, I think.
When you first heard about the murder of Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction to that?
Well, horror, absolute horror.
And I unfortunately saw the video of it.
And it's Beyond belief, what happened to him?
And that should never happen to anybody.
I don't care what your political beliefs are.
That's not acceptable.
That's not a solution to solving problems.
And I felt like what his wife said at the service at the memorial they had was exactly right.
And totally, I believe, you know, I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in doing to others and I believe in forgiveness.
And what she said to me was beautiful and absolutely, you know, she forgave his assassin.
And I think that that is admirable.
Well, she forgave his assassin.
That's admirable.
If I were Piers, the next question I would have asked, and I would have asked this alive, dead, and I'm not scrutinizing Rob in death, Reiner in death.
The question I would have asked is, it's nice that you say this after Charlie Kirk has been brutally murdered by a political zealot.
My question to you, Mr. Reiner, is do you think that anything you've said or done over the last decade as relates to chance of locking Trump up for the rest of his life, that he's a Russian asset, that he's a racist, a xenophobe, a threat to democracy, that he's unfit to lead, that he's an existential threat to the future of America.
Do you think that anything you've said over the last 10 years could have potentially contributed to the radicalization of the man or group of men that shot Charlie Kirk?
Like it's, it's, it's, this is the insult to the injury.
After they've gotten yours killed, after they got Charlie Kirk killed, then they feign virtue.
Oh, it's terrible.
This is not the way.
What did you think was going to happen to the men like Charlie Kirk, future presidents of these United States of America?
You know, the cornerstones or active players or like prominent figures in the Trump administration.
What did you think was going to happen?
Or what did you think people were going to want to do to the active players in supporting this administration when you've spent 10 years telling them that they're Nazis, racists, bigots, xenophobes, that they're criminals, Russian agents, that they need to go to jail, that they're going to take away women's rights, that immigrants are going to be shot in the streets?
What did you think was going to happen, Rob, when you said those types of things?
So now you cry and now you say it's a tragedy and I totally oppose all of it.
Do you not think it's possible that any or all of your words over the last decade have contributed to radicalizing people who then think it's necessary and morally justified to punch a Nazi and take a shot at Donald Trump and kill Charlie Kirk?
That would have been my question.
Yeah, the answer is thoughtful.
And the answer is barring behavior, a decade of worth of it that was totally contrary to that answer.
The answer was very thoughtful and indeed what you say in the face of tragedy.
But then the question is going to be some self-reflection.
Did Rob Reiner, the words of him and his ilk, Robert De Niro, the other guy there, Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp, did any of those words, Kathy Griffin, did any of those words contribute to the radicalization of the people who killed Charlie Kirk and tried to kill Donald Trump not once, but twice?
And if the answer to that question is yes, well, sorry, take your apology and take your kind words after your radicalized ilk kill one of the greatest men and influences in modern history.
Take your apology and stuff it where the sun don't shine.
And the problem with Trump's truth post is that that's not the discussion that we can be having as relates to everyone praising Rob Reiner's thoughtful and sympathetic response after a decade of brainwashing people to think that Trump and anyone who helps him stay in power or get into power is an existential threat to these United States of America.
And I was almost reluctant to express these thoughts because I don't want anybody anywhere thinking that this is somehow to say Rob Reiner got what he deserved or spit on his grave.
I don't believe in that ever, period.
What happened to Rob Reiner is an abject horror.
And by all accounts, not a politically motivated one, but one that results from drug addiction, mental illness, and potentially other issues, which we're going to get into as relates to whether or not his alleged killer, his son, is going to invoke the Menendez defense.
That's all I have to say about that.
Now, I did notice a tip from Francis Charton.
It's another useless self-own in a string of cell phones.
Why?
Now his own chief of staff is fucking him over.
What is going on?
Seems like they are ending Trump.
Let me see what this is.
I'm going to get to that in a second.
I've read, I mean, we'll see if we have time to get to the Susie Wiles hit piece.
I've never trusted Susie Wiles.
I've never known her.
I never trusted her.
I've never distrusted her until I thought I had sufficient reason to distrust her, but I never trusted her because I didn't know her.
Didn't trust Pam Bondi, didn't know her, gave her the very, very big benefit of the doubt, and was thoroughly, thoroughly disappointed.
And now do not trust Pamela S. Bondi.
Is her middle name S?
I just made that up.
I don't even know if Pam's true for Pamela.
So that's that.
Now, Rob Reiner murdered by his son, allegedly.
His son has been booked.
It was originally a $4 million bond, and now there is no bond.
And apparently, he's awaiting arraignment.
The first hearing was postponed because he's medically not fit enough to go for his first hearing.
And, you know, when people are out there saying, you know, Rob Reiner spent 10 years spewing political vitriol, fuck him.
First of all, there's no correlation between relishing and him having been murdered by, let's just say, random street crime.
You can make the argument, well, a victim of the policy that he ushered in.
That, you know, when they say that liberals are liberals until they get mugged, you know, they're lucky if all that they do is get mugged to realize the error in their revolving door, cashless bail, soft-on-crime policies.
They're not quite so lucky if they get shot dead like this DJ.
Did you hear about this in South Africa?
Who's the DJ that just got shot?
And I only saw this because it was on DJ shot in, I think it was South Africa.
There was a DJ was shot and killed.
Yeah, in the central business district, DJ Warring was gunned down outside a Carlton center in Johannesburg Central Business District.
So all that to say, that was some other news, not anything that I knew of, except someone I follow on Twitter had posted it.
When you are the victim of the consequences of your soft-on-crime policy, I still don't say, good, you got what you deserve, but these are the predictable consequences.
When people are saying he's a political jackass, political vitriol, gets murdered by his drug-addicted son, so therefore, haha, no.
Now, if he got murdered by his drug-addicted son because of some history of family abuse or worse, then you still don't say the ha-ha, but you can sort of then say, well, now I can, now I can put together potentially a more direct causal link between the atrocity and what might have been contributing factors to it.
I don't know what type of father Rob Reiner was.
And I said, you give the benefit of the doubt.
James Woods was on Fox News with Jesse Waters, and some of you might really hate what James Woods said.
But he said, you know, Rob Reiner is a close friend, saved his career, thoughtful, you know.
James Woods says, Rob Reiner, I'm convinced that Rob James Woods says that he is convinced that Rob Reiner loves America.
Just go about it in different ways.
So, to the extent that Rob Reiner, until proof to the contrary, seems to be a decent father who had his problems with his kids.
Good parents have problems with their kids.
Good parents have kids that grow up to do drugs.
Bad parents have kids that grow up to be, you know, scholars and successful businessmen.
But like my father also says, when you drive a ball, if you know, if you have a good swing, more likely than not, the ball is going to stay true.
But if you hit it with a slice, you're going to see the consequences of your improper swing a little bit further down the line.
So you can maximize some odds, but you can't guarantee anything when it comes to parenting and when it comes to raising kids.
That being said, and then I found the full clip of Al Franken roasting Rob Reiner.
I don't know if I want to play the whole thing.
I don't know if I have to.
I'm going to play a substantial portion of it.
We're going to, you know, the old, the old expression is truth in jest.
That if there's no element of truth in a joke, it's simply not funny.
When people make jokes about me being short, you know, or a dwarf or a midget or whatever, what makes it funny is that I am short.
Anybody makes a joke about how tall I am, the joke's not going to be funny because there's no element of truth in it for which there to be the requisite connection proximity to truth in order to have the truth in jest.
So, on the one hand, either there is some truth in this jest, in which case you could start asking a whole hell of a lot of questions, or there's no truth in it.
And they're just making these jokes because it's a crass roast or whatever, at the expense of the child of Rob Reiner, who I presume to be Nick.
Listen to this.
I just want to say, I've been having just a great time.
Everybody's been really, really funny.
I just don't want people to get the wrong idea that this is not really, you know, Rob's favorite style of humor.
What he really enjoys is what I do.
I don't get it.
Which is far more substantive.
But I really, I have to tell you that Rob has devoted himself to seeing the kids from birth to age three get the kind of nurturing, intellectual stimulation, love, really, that will make them grow up to be a fully functional, happy person, unlike, say, Brett.
And it's a great thing.
Most people don't know where this comes from.
And Rob doesn't like to talk about it because he's kind of a modest guy, but it comes out of his own personal experience.
See, as a baby, Rob was routinely beaten by his father, Carl.
I'll put on pause here.
There's another element of humor, I guess.
That's something that is so wildly contrary to reality that it's humorous in its absurdity.
So I don't know if what is supposed to be the joke here is that this is, there's an element of truth in this, or that it's so wildly contrary to the upbringing of Rob Reiner and his dad, Carl, and his son, that they were an actual totally loving family.
Like, I don't even, I don't get where the joke is here, but a joke about raping a child is not, I'm not a, I'm not a prude when it comes to humor.
It's not funny.
And it's not funny to the kid.
Rob believes that this early physical abuse had a profound effect on him as an adult and led to the horrible failure of Ghosts of Mississippi.
I'm going to go for North on that line.
Just curious.
Exactly.
What possibly could explain North?
I wanted to know what movie that was.
Okay, let's get to that.
Let's hurry up here.
Let's get to this part.
And say something like, I'm thinking about hiring Maury Amsterdam to play Buddy Sorrell.
What do you think?
This is him talking with his father, Carl Reiner, sexually abusing Rob Reiner.
Now the punchline.
Well, the success of the Dick Van Dyke show changed things dramatically.
Carl started inviting many of his famous friends to son.
And that list includes some of the greats in comedy.
Paul Lind.
I don't know who these people are, so I couldn't get the joke there either.
Dom DeLoise, Rip Taylor, Danny Kaye, Charles Nelson Riley, and Rock Hudson, whom I frankly don't think was that funny.
We'll stop it there.
Well, let's just listen to it like so can can the aggregate knowledge of the interwebs help?
What the hell is funny about joking about his son being raped by other men?
Rock Hudson, I believe, was one of the first celebrities who openly died of AIDS.
Rock Hudson died of AIDS, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, he died of AIDS on October 2, 1985.
Like, I don't understand where the humor is and if it's supposed to be that it's truth in jest or so far from reality that it's comedic in its absurdity.
But they're laughing at the kid.
And I don't even know what era that would ever have been funny.
Now that listening to that, having it, I originally saw it on Owen Benjamin, tweeted it.
That's right, people.
I think I follow Owen Benjamin on Twitter.
He originally tweeted it.
I went and found the, to confirm that it wasn't AI, because it could very well have been, and then found the entire roast.
Now I've got questions.
Whether or not the kid was abused, if not by the parents, by the other pervert child rapists that we know what goes on in Hollywood.
And they're naming a bunch of people there.
And I don't know that the names are accidents.
And they sit there and laugh at it.
Laugh at the expense of a kid who's no longer a kid at that point.
Maybe he was 13 or 15 by that point.
Hold on one second.
How old is Nick Reiner?
32 years old, 32, 26, born in 80s, mid-80s.
Can't do math fast enough.
80, 84.
Now I actually have questions as to whether or not there is something along those lines going on.
Now, the breaking news of the day is that he's retained a world-class criminal lawyer.
Given the Al Franken roast video, I'm now wondering if Rob Reiner's son's defense is going to be the Menendez defense.
So this is the breaking news.
Karen Reed's lawyer, Alan Jackson, showed up to court Tuesday representing Rob Reiner's son, Nick, and the possible double murder against him.
Fox News can confirm.
Nick, 32, was arrested Sunday on suspicion of murdering his parents.
Rob and his wife, Michaels, Michelle, sorry, were found dead inside their Brentwood home Saturday, 3 p.m.
Nick was not on scene.
NBC reported authorities located him near the University of Southern California campus.
He was arrested at 9:15 on Sunday and is currently beheld at the twin correctional facilities without bail.
Well, now I'm wondering, by the way, Karen Reed, she's the one who just had her trial about the wrongful, the death of her husband.
So now you wonder either the defense is going to be absolute innocence, which is going to be seemingly easy to prove.
By the evidence thus far, it doesn't look like there's no evidence.
Nick Reiner blood shower.
Apparently, they caught him in a hotel and there was blood on the shower curtain.
Blood hotel.
Let's just get the latest on this.
There was apparently blood in the hotel, blood in the bathtub, blood on the shower on the curtains.
Nick Reiner fails to appear in LA, Raymond, has yet to be medically cleared.
Los Angeles Sun failed to appear in LA court to face charges that he slit the throats of his fame director, dad, and mom.
High profile saying he has not been medically cleared.
Celebrity lawyer Alan Jackson told reporters outside the courthouse that his client's first appearance, and it could be as early as Wednesday.
Inmate has to be medically cleared before they can be transported to court.
Okay, fine.
They refuse to say who's paying his legal fees.
Where's the part about the blood in the hotel?
Nick 32 checked into Pearside Santa Monica Hotel around 4 a.m. Sunday, and hotel staff later found the room soaked in blood, according to TMZ.
Nick did not have blood on his clothes at check-in, the outlet said.
Taken into custody Sunday evening, about 15 miles from where it's been.
This is a picture of him.
So the question is going to be is, is defense going to be, it wasn't me, or I was in a psychotic episode based off of, you know, crystal meth, or the Menendez defense.
And everybody remembers what the Menendez defense is, but I'm going to remind everyone, what is the Menendez?
The Menen, Menendez defense.
I'll just read it.
The Menendez defense, famously used by brothers Lyle and Eric Menendez, centered on self-defense after prolonged sexual, physical, and emotional abuse by their father, Jose Menendez, claiming they feared for their lives and they killed their parents to stop the abuse and prevent their father from killing them to keep it secret.
Now, whether or not there was child abuse from anyone when Nick was a kid, based on the evidence right now, and by the way, check out Mark Robert.
I think it's on America's Untold Stories.
The rumors, I don't know that it wasn't Mark Robert that put this rumor out there.
I read it somewhere else, but that the rumors were that there was a big fight at Cohen and O'Brien's Christmas party the night before and that it might have had something to do with being written out of the will because this drug addict kid had relapsed again and had been written out of the will and flipped into a rage and spiraled out of control.
Maybe he went out and smoked a whole hell of a lot of crystal meth and came back and killed his parents in a fit of rage.
The interesting thing about this, and I say, I don't know what to make of this connection.
I'm just, you know, I'm not connecting these dots.
I'm just going to put them out there because they are there.
Apparently, Michelle and Barack Obama were supposed to see Rob and Michelle Reiner that night.
Michelle Obama says she and Barack were supposed to see Rob and Michelle Reiner on the day they died.
Former lady called the late couple some of the most decent and courageous people on earth.
Yeah, I don't in this entire story, it's, you know, whatever.
Everybody's sharing their anecdotes, but they were allegedly supposed to be there.
After the news of the Reiner's death was released, former President Barack Obama released on Axe writing, Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing.
Barack went on to praise the director's philanthropic and activism work, but beneath all of the stories, he produced a deep belief in God.
Good people.
Yeah, yeah, okay, fine.
Following the Nick, multiple sources told people that Rob and Nick got into a heated argument Saturday night at a party.
Fine, we got that part.
They got into a loud argument.
And Michelle, during her late night appearance, Michelle also spoke about the Reiner's legacy and impact.
So Michelle and Barack were supposed to be there the night of.
And I don't know if there's any broader or more specific or more conspiratorial dot to connect with that, except to say, could you imagine what might have happened if they were there when a cracked out, potentially psychotic, drug-induced schizophrenia Nick shows up with the knife to kill his parents?
It probably doesn't, nothing probably happens because they still have secret service.
And the entire, you know, future history past would have been written somewhat differently.
And now Dred Robert brings it up, which I didn't get the joke.
I didn't realize.
Dom DeLuise?
Those were gay actors, says Dred Robert.
That he was joking slept with Rob Reiner.
I don't think there is any reason to believe Rob was abused.
Dom DeLuise was gay?
Hold, not that it changes anything.
Was Dom DeLuise gay?
No, comedian Dom De Luis was not openly gay.
He was married to actress Carol Arthur from 1965 until his death in 2009.
They had three sons together.
Anyway, all that to say is it's not funny.
None of that humor was funny, but what it does remind me of, unfortunately, is the Ricky Gervais, Harvey Weinstein type humor.
And it didn't, it's caused me to ask questions that I wasn't previously asking.
And nor do I attribute every drug addict kid to parental abuse.
It's, you know, people make that one bad decision that forever derails their lives forever in perpetuity.
So that is the that on that.
And I don't think we've got any more on that.
Now, before we go and figure out who we're going to raid, let me refresh my, now forgetting, before we go anywhere, I want to remind everybody about the crypto wallets on the Rumble wallet.
Now, you go click over here.
Before we go.
This is me.
You can click on the tip, and it's going to be available more broadly afterwards.
You can click on tip if you have the Android.
You can go to Google Play, that app store for Google, and download the Rumble wallet for Android and see how it works.
Open up a wallet.
It'll connect if you already have a Rumble account.
And then you can also go, if you just have a crypto account anywhere, you can tip in Bitcoin.
Scan that QR code.
I got five bucks in crypto, in Bitcoin yesterday.
And then people were laughing at me when I said when Bitcoin hits a million dollars, that five bucks is going to be worth 55 bucks.
And then people are like, haha.
And I will tell you, sir, I will get the last ha-ha.
Ha-ha, because I think it's...
So you can copy that, scan the QR code.
You can, there's another one.
There's XAUT.
You go try another wallet.
You can do USDT, which is a dollar-backed coin.
And then you can also do gold back.
So you can invest.
You can tip your creators.
You can open one up for yourself so that other people can tip you based on your content.
It's an amazing thing that's going to revolutionize the way you can invest and the way you can tip your favorite creators.
Now, I did see another question coming here.
Pinochet's helicopter tours says, the Reiner son has been framed.
Clearly, Trump sent SEAL Team 6 after his political opponent.
I don't know.
Humor is tragedy plus time.
We're not yet at the, I hope the judges do the Democrat thing and whip up a little bit of restorative justice and free Nick like they do with illegal immigrants.
Pinochet's helicopter strews, you can tell based on the name, has got a certain degree of sarcasm, quit to all of it.
So there's that.
And that's what's going on.
If you, Viva, if you want to get some merch and go to Viva Fry.
If you want to support the work that we're doing, vivabarnslaw.locals.com.
Do at the risk of getting myself upset.
Me see if I if I have anything else that I can just uh oh okay.
I'm gonna wait a couple more minutes just before telling you why I'm gonna end the show.
Let's just let's just go here.
This is the article, the hit piece that came out.
I'm not reading the hit piece because it's in Vanity Fair.
It's as far as I'm concerned, it's probably a load of shit.
It doesn't mean that certain things weren't said, but this is the hit piece on Susie Wiles for those of you who haven't seen it from the New York Post, who occasionally can't identify a man from a woman.
Trump stands by chief of staff Susie Wiles after bombshell Vanity Fair interviews.
Admits she has alcoholics personality.
Admits he has an alcoholics personality.
What I love is why the hell would I say it?
If I were asked to do an interview with Vanity Fair, I think I would do it, but I would make sure to record everything, make sure that they knew that because Florida's an all-party consent state.
Why the hell would you sit down with Vanity Fair unless you know?
I mean, if you sit down with Vanity Fair, you know that they are going to screw you with the hit piece.
So why even do it?
He's saying the things they said I said, I said, but they took it out of context.
Well, let's hear what they said.
President Trump defended White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in an exclusive interview with The Post, saying she was right to tell Vanity Fair he has an quote alcoholic personality and that he has full faith in Wiles to continue her role.
Trump 79 reiterated that he avoids alcohol, saying in the interview that he has a possessive and addictive type personality and that he wasn't defended by the word, her word choice.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't, especially if that's the thing.
If you're not an alcoholic, who gives a shit if someone says, if you don't drink alcohol, who gives a shit if someone says you have an alcoholic personality?
What does that even mean?
I've known, I haven't known many alcoholics.
I'm not sure that I've known any, but some people react differently when they drink.
No, she meant that I'm, you see, I don't drink alcohol, so everybody knows that, but I've often said that if I did, I had a very good chance of being an alcoholic.
I've said that many times.
Okay.
Then what else do we get here?
Looking good.
Looks like he's singing Christmas Carols.
Trump 79 reiterated that he avoids alcohol.
Okay, fine.
I mean, that's the thing.
It's like, it's an inapplicable, inapplicable accusation.
In the interview, Wiles said, high-functioning alcoholics and alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink.
And so I'm a little bit of an expert in big personalities.
Ha ha.
I didn't read it.
I don't buy Vanity Fair, but she's done a fantastic job.
Is what Trump said.
I think from what I hear, the facts are wrong.
It was, and it was a very misguided interviewer, purposely misguided.
That's why you don't sit down with them.
He says that she's fantastic.
Okay, well, that's good.
Yeah, deceived.
And he didn't.
What was that here?
Let's see.
He said that he thought author Chris Whipple may have deceived Wiles regarding his focus.
Yeah, deceived.
And he didn't have great access, a couple of very short interviews.
And Susie generally doesn't do interviews.
Trump said, if anybody knows the interviewer, and if they know Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair is totally, it's lost its way.
It's also lost its readers.
And you know, she's fantastic.
Okay.
Okay, so now we're going to go just read a couple of the chats.
We're going to raid.
I have to keep the short, the show short today because we have bad news with our dog, Pudge.
And good.
Redacted something.
So I'm going to go.
I'm going to go raid them.
We have to put our Pudge to sleep today.
So we have to go to the vet to do that this afternoon.
And I'll eulogize her tomorrow because it's, you know, something, I don't know, power failure.
Something can happen that can buy the dog an extra day.
And then you always sit there saying, like, you can wait an extra day and you can wait an extra day.
And then anybody who's ever had a dog, and I always say it, it never gets any easier.
And the older I get, I think it actually just gets harder.
She's had an amazing life, and I will eulogize her properly tomorrow.
but i have to we have to go do that now so what i'm going to do is this Go say I sent you and enjoy the rest of the day.
And I'm going to go confirm raid.
And that's it.
We're going to gather the family and we're going to go.
And she's 15, 16 years old.
I've had her since 2016.
She was my sister-in-law's dog.
Her second life was with my sister-in-law.
She was a street dog for the first two years of her life.
So like 2009, born-ish, or 2000, probably 2009.
And so she got paralyzed in 2016.
And I took her for my sister-in-law because we were able to care for her.
And we've had her for damn near a decade.
Anyways, so that's it.
And now she's got a tumor the size of a volleyball on her.
It's a volleyball on the back of her back.
And of her two remaining legs now, one of them can't, she's losing issues with that.
And you know, when a dog is in permanent discomfort, and the look.
So the look that they give you is a little bit different than the look they've given you for the last 10 years.
So there's that.
Okay, so now we're going to go.
Godspeed, everybody.
And let me just go give the obligatory Viva Raid Booyah.
I don't even know where the channel is.
It's right here.
Okay.
Viva Raid Booyah.
So that is it.
I got to go.
And I will see you all tomorrow.
Godspeed.
God bless.
Oh, shit.
What is this?
It's not over.
