C (3:08)

Is that where we're going?

A (3:09)

Come on.

C (3:10)

Yeah, I'm going there. Because we have a president who has completely undermined our democracy, who, who has.

B (3:18)

So you don't see, you don't see jihad, you don't see this as a problem?

C (3:23)

What I don't see is it as a single lens problem. We have a president who has been determined to undermine our constitutional principles, to degrade our democracy, to divide instead of unite us the responsibility of.

B (3:41)

I have to say, Congressman, you know how much I admire you, and I, and I always appreciate you being willing to come on and discuss things, but we booked you to talk about anti Semitism and Islamophobia in America, so. But I'm asking, I'm asking.

A (3:54)

Yeah. So Leland Vitter is. Is all of us, when he said. Oh, come on. To her response about Trump. You know, they're trying to have a conversation about how more than 40 terror attacks can be linked to radical Islam. And he asks a sitting member of Congress, what is worse, Islamophobia or jihad? That is one of the easiest questions on planet Earth to answer. If people are afraid of Muslim people, and I want to be very clear, obviously not all Muslim people are violent and carrying out terrorist attacks. I know that. But we're talking about specific statistics that show that people who have been radicalized in this faith, they belong to terror groups like the Islamic State, ISIS, Al Qaeda and etc. They carry out acts of terrorism in the name of their faith and their allegiance to these radical groups. That is a link. But if you're a Democrat, saying that jihad is a threat is essentially the same as Islamophobia in their book. They can't separate the two. So she is damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Although it's, like I said, the easiest question on planet Earth to answer if you've got, you know, just two brain cells. But she refuses to answer the question. And then she whips out a trusty third option, which Democrats usually do, and that is blame Trump. They can always count on blame Trump if they can't come up with an answer to the question at hand, because she doesn't want to choose what's more dangerous, the reason for the danger or the side effect of the danger. So she claims that Trump is the danger, that Trump is even worse than, than terrorists. Then they're claiming that, you know, this is a conversation about what is more dangerous to the erosion of American culture. And she claims that the man in the White House is the biggest threat to American culture. And of course, she pulls out the other trustee option, which is threat to democracy. That's their other favorite buzzword, right? He's, you know, ripping apart the Constitution and it's a threat to democracy and whatever else. President Trump is trying to preserve American culture, while Democrats in this country do their darndest to replace American culture with any other culture but our own. They allow any immigrant from anywhere to come in here, no questions asked. Asylum seekers from Afghanistan and wherever else, come on in, red carpet, rolled out, free phones, free flights to the sanctuary state of your choosing, free whatever else, free health care. We'll just bankrupt our own state, no problem. They won't, you know, Democrats won't do any of that for American citizens, but for illegal immigrants, it's like, woo, no problem. They just swipe their pen and everything is taken care of for illegal aliens. So we've seen examples of communities that refuse to assimilate. They get here mostly under the Biden administration, the Obama administration, right? Wide open border. People come in here, they, they refuse to assimilate to American culture. Then Democrats, like I said, give them whatever freebies they want. They defraud American taxpayers like we've been seeing in Minnesota. They get commercial driver's licenses in California, in Minnesota, in New York, wherever. Then they get these licenses. They don't know how to read, they can't speak English, they can't read any road signs. Then they drive around and kill and rape law abiding American citizens. That's what we've been seeing. I cover these stories on the show every single night. Democrats will claim that none of this is happening. If you have your eyes open, you know it's happening. So sanctuary city policies are bankrupting blue states. They're trying to give free health care to illegal immigrants. We see this in Minnesota, we see this in California. Trump's administration is trying to put a stop to all of this, while Democrats want to go full steam ahead and usher more of that in. And here's the Minneapolis police chief using his faith to justify illegal immigration. Watch.

D (7:58)

We know this has been a very, very difficult time for our communities here in the city. The fear that people are experiencing is real, as our mayor has said. It's been said to drive down Lake street and to see so many of our Businesses either closed or empty. It's hard to see the impact that this is having on everyone in our community. It's especially personal to me, having been raised a Catholic, to be in a Christian church. This morning as we are approaching Christmas. And I cannot help but think of what is happening in our city today and how that echoes with how outsiders have been treated for thousands of years, how Mary and Joseph themselves were considered outsiders and forced to stay in a barn. That's what we're getting ready to commemorate as Christians around the world. While all of this fear is happening right here in our town.

A (9:16)

I don't think this guy's been to church in a while. I don't think he's cracked open the Bible in a while. I'm just gonna throw that out there because I'm a Catholic. And someone in the chat said, you know, do Catholics not believe in enforcing the law? We do. And I'm not sure why the police chief is using the Bible to excuse criminal behavior. The Bible doesn't tell us to evade the rule of law. But he's claiming that it's very sad that businesses in downtown Minneapolis are empty. Well, is that because the people working there were illegal and deported? Or is that because people who frequent those businesses downtown aren't leaving their houses in fear of deportation? Because I say this almost every night. American citizens have nothing to fear. If you are a legal immigrant, you have nothing to fear. But if you broke immigration law or if you missed your last court appearance or if you've been flying under the radar for 20 years, you might have something to worry about. And, yes, we are called to love thy neighbor, and we should. We are called to welcome them, not judge them. This does not mean that we allow or turn a blind eye to our neighbors if they break the law. And to hear a police chief use the Bible to justify federal crimes or civil offenses or infractions, that is blasphemy. Also, we have Texas Senate candidate James Talarico as well. He's currently a Texas state representative. He's also a Presbyterian seminarian here. He is insinuating that there are Christians who are an abomination because they are mistreating immigrants and poor people. Listen to this.

E (10:57)

Do you know people who love Jesus and don't seem to love anyone else? That kind of religion that says you can treat people however you want as long as you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination. It is a cancer on the body of Christ. Scripture says you can't love God and hate other people. You can't love God and abuse the immigrant. You can't love God and bully the outcast. You can't love God and oppress the poor. We spend so much time looking for God out there that we miss God in the person sitting right next to us, in that neighbor who bears the divine image. In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God.

A (11:53)

No Christian I know would champion the mistreatment or the bullying of a human being. But enforcing the law is not mistreatment. And isn't it so funny how it's okay for Democrats and liberals to invoke the Bible when it's convenient for them? Then of course, if we ever bring it up when it comes to abortion, they don't want to hear about anyone's biblical opinions or religion. But then they'll use the Bible to justify illegal immigration. They think they can use the Bible as a political weapon, claiming that they, when they invoke the Bible, they are holier than thou all while they encourage crime and fraud. Make it make sense. You can't. You cannot make it make sense. Also, we cannot make sense of New York City mayoral mayor elect, I should say, Zoram Namdani, saying that if we get rid of bus fares, we will also get rid or lessen crime. Watch this editor.

B (12:52)

We made five bus routes free in New York City when we made those bus routes free. After a year, assaults on bus drivers dropped by 38.9% on the bus drivers. Bus drivers. Because unlike the train, the act of fare collection on the bus happens on the bus.

A (13:08)

Yeah, it's there.

B (13:10)

And bus drivers and unions have shared anecdotally that about 50% of assaults happen around the farebox. So when you eliminate the farebox, you make for a safer experience for the bus driver. For everyone on the bus.

A (13:27)

Yeah. Okay. So as someone who used to live in New York City, let's break down what he thinks he means maybe by saying this. Assaults probably happen by the Fairbox because, you know, people are distracted. They have to stop to tap their phone or swipe their card or. Or pay. Right. So someone who is at the Fairbox is a target for crime. Also, they might have their wallet out. They might have, you know, just thinking out loud. Right. People also don't want to have to pay $3 to commit a crime after their victims have passed the turnstile. They will do it for free before people enter the bus or the train. They're not going to pay to commit crimes when they can do it for free. And then Zo Ramdani Wants to just make it all for free. So basically it's going to be a free for all. If you eliminate the fairbox, there's going to be more crime. Now there's no financial deterrent for criminals. That means mentally ill and homeless people can shank you for free. Also, bus drivers are face to face with commuters and they were talking about that because there is a difference on the New York City buses there, the bus drivers are open to the public. The public comes on. There's nothing, you know, there's no barrier. They are just face to face. So if someone was upset with a price or just wanted to do harm, there is no barrier distancing the bus driver from the criminal or anyone else on the train. The bus, for that matter. On the subway, you don't see the person driving the train. They are completely in a different car. People don't have access to them. So of course bus drivers are going to face more crime than trains. So duh. Obviously the issue is not fair collection or fareboxes. He's also claiming that just because 50% of assaults happen by the farebox, he's going to justify making the bus free. But that means that 50% of the crime is happening not by the farebox. So what does that do? I think you could also reduce crime at Walmart if you got rid of the cash registers. Well, if you make crimes, if you make, you know, felonies, misdemeanors, and you, and you let misdemeanors just become whatever, you get rid of crime. There's no crime if you, if you defund cops, if you get rid of jails and you get rid of bus fares. You know, no one can skip the bus fare or, or jump the turnstile if there's nothing to pay for. So, yeah, there's going to be less of crime because you're eliminating a crime by making it not a crime anymore, just by calling it not a crime. Right. Isn't that amazing? It's like magic. You can just. He can wave his magic wand and, and get rid of crime like that by just making things no longer crimes. All of a sudden, that 50% number, we're looking really good. You know, I've had my own experiences witnessing crime on the subway. I've talked about them on this show many a times. So I will not bring them back up. But this is a problem. Not just, you know, when you get on the bus or the train. This happens when you are sitting on the train, right? You pass that threshold where you have to pay and then you're on the train and crime still happens there too. You know, he says 50% of the crime happens near the farebox. And then what happens all the other times, right? That's when you see the illegal alien lighting that woman, that poor woman on fire. This is when you know, I saw domestic violence and assault take place on the, on the train. This doesn't eliminate crime. Making crimes, not crimes anymore does not eliminate crime. I know that. Everyone watching the show knows that. But apparently voters in New York, they think, wow, they hear this stuff and they think, wow, this is, this is pretty cool. Look at this guy, he waves his magic wand, there's no crime. It's awesome. Christmas used to mean something simple. Family, gather it around a table.

All right, I saw this on X earlier today and apparently this new poll says that AOC has a chance of beating Vice President Vance should they both run in 2028. So this is what the poll found. This was done by argument slash Verisite. This was the collaboration for the survey. It was released yesterday. And AOC, it says AOC leads JD Vance 51 to 49 in hypothetical 2028 poll. And AOC responded bloop on X. I don't know what that means. It's like millennial cringe slop. I've. And this is coming from a millennial. That is like the cringiest thing I've ever heard. Bloop. I don't know what she's supposed to. I think it's supposed to mean like oop. Like, yeah, like a mic drop moment, something like that. But bloop. Okay, whatever. And this is what it says. The New YORK Democratic Congresswoman AOC alleges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%. However, the result was in the polls, 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll also found that Vance was more popular among white voters. 57% of respondents said that they would vote for him. 43% of white people opting for AOC. But when you broke it down by other races, black, Hispanic, they favored aoc. They also. I'm sure everyone's shocked. Women vote for aoc. Men are more likely to vote for Vance. College educated voters more likely to vote for AOC, and 56% wanted to vote for AOC. 44% of college educated voters would go with Vance. Interestingly enough, 8% of those who voted for President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 election say that they would vote for AOC over Vice President Vance. That to me is hard to believe. I almost don't believe. And I know that you take polls with a grain of salt, right? But the 8% of people who vote, respondents who voted for Donald Trump would Vote for aoc. There's, like, no way. There's no way. And I think that support for Vance is pretty strong among Republicans. I saw a thread on X earlier today where some Republicans, I guess, don't like him, but that's not my experience. No Republicans that I talk to dislike Vance. I think everyone is pretty much on the same page for the most part, that he's done a great job. And, you know, I. I was totally sold on him when he was dunking on Kamala Harris in the debates. That was, like, the first time that, you know, we were really introduced to him on this debate stage, and he absolutely crushed it. He looked very presidential in that moment, and I think that kind of sealed the deal for President Trump. Part of the reason why the election went for Trump in 2024 was because people thought, well, he's a really good option should anything happen. You know, the Vice president, we just saw it with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. You never know what's going to happen with older candidates. And I think a lot of Republicans felt comforted by Vance as the VP pick. But it says that Vance is poised to pick up 5% of those who voted for the former Vice President, Kamala Harris in the Democratic candidate in that election. Which is interesting, too. Like, do you really think that people who voted. 5% of people who voted for Kamala Harris are going to come over to Vance again? These are just. It's just a little hard to believe. So what do you all think? Do people like Vance. People also agree that Vance. They were sold on Vance in the debate. And then someone also said if Vance and AOC were to debate each other, Vance would also absolutely wipe the floor with her. Which I agree. Someone in the chat said, I'm liking Vance and Rubio. Me, too. Which brings me to the next topic that I wanted to get to. And we covered this Vanity Fair piece yesterday, and I don't know why I skipped over this part. I wanted to make a note of it, and maybe I just skipped it in my notes or something. But in that Vanity Fair piece, which everyone was talking about, the pictures were horrible, all that. Right. Total hit piece. And in that piece, Marco Rubio said that he would not run for office if Vice President vance did in 2028, which I think is pretty telling, that he kind of knows that Vance is the guy, the heir apparent. Right. Just because he's Trump's vice presidential pick. But I think a lot of people love Marco Rubio. I loved him. I really liked him in 2016. I was not on the Trump train right away. Rubio was a top, top contender for me. I, I vividly remember because I was working for Fox News at the time, but I was in college still, so I was commuting and I was interning. And as part of my internship, I had to throw. I was a campus associate, they called them. So I would kind of promote the Fox News brand on campus. And this was during an election year, this is 2015. And I was tasked with throwing debate watch parties. So people would come and watch the debates. We would have Fox News gear and merch and things like that. We would hand them out, we would do prizes, things like that. Right? So, so we did that. And I remember we had an app that you could kind of track like during the debate. It was, I like what this person said. I liked what this person said. Didn't like that, didn't like that. And it kind of helped you keep track of all the candidates because there were 16 of them, remember? And I remember Marco Rubio was up there for me. He was one of my favorite candidates. And, you know, once the Trump became Trump and then it was little Marco Rubio and little Marco and all that stuff, he kind of went by the wayside. But I think he's wonderful and I would love to see him as president. But I can also understand where Marco Rubio is probably thinking, I saw what happened to Ron DeSantis and I'm not saying that the same thing would happen to Marco Rubio, because I think that Marco Rubio would do a much better job on a debate stage than Ron DeSantis did. Ron DeSantis love him, love his policies, think he's a great governor, but he totally shit the bed when he ran for president. I mean, out the gate, his campaign launch was horrible. It happened on X. Remember that X Spaces event that no one could hear? It was glitching, it was like technical difficulties. That was, it was really, really tough out the gate for him. But not only that, he doesn't have the personality that Trump does. And I think when you go from Trump, who sets the bar very, very high, personality wise, he's larger than life. And then you have kind of a no offense, wet napkin on stage, it's just not, it's not going to go well. And that doesn't mean that he's not a good politician. It just means he couldn't run a good campaign against President Trump. He didn't have a shot. And I think Rubio probably feels like if I throw my hat into the ring, I don't want to step on JD's toes. If JD is the heir apparent, and if he decides to run in 2028, then I'll let him have his moment. He's probably thinking, then I'm not going to get ostracized. I am going to have a better shot of being a VP pick. And then that will set him up for the future. I mean, could you imagine, and this is a pipe dream, but, like, could you just imagine J.D. vance for two terms and then Marco Rubio for two terms? It would never happen, but, oh, my gosh, it's fun to think about. It's fun to think about. And even if it doesn't happen back to back, I do think that Marco Rubio will be President of the United States at some point. So, anyway, I just thought that that was interesting little tidbit that I didn't get to yesterday, and I wanted to. But just another update on that Vanity Fair thing that I didn't get to yesterday was the fact that Vice President Vance kind of joked with Vanity Fair about making a deal with the photographer. Like, if I pay you $1,000, I'll pay you $1,000 if you make everyone else look worse than me. So even Vanity Fair put this out on X during the photo shoot session. Vance cracked, I'll give you $100 for every person you make look really shitty compared to me. And $1,000 if it's Marco. And Marco Rubio really did look the worst. The worst, I think. I mean, again, we're looking directly up the Vice President's nose right here, which is not flattering. None of these photos were flattering. But if we could just pull up this next one. Caroline Levitt and Marco Rubio side by side. These were definitely the worst ones. So I'm wondering if this photographer was really taking Vance's joke seriously and he was thinking, I will get a thousand dollars from the. The Vice President for making everyone look worse than he did. You think he's going to get the $1,000 from J.D. vance? Because he did make everyone else look worse. I actually think Stephen Miller's was the best. He didn't look that bad. But I'm sorry. Secretary Marco Rubio not looking good. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. They did you dirty. I'm so sorry, but I don't think that Vice President Vance is going to pay up. I think it was just a joke and it should have stayed a joke. And I think that this was really unfortunate way to paint the Trump Cabinet. Of course, I Do want to move now to a more serious topic and that is the update on the Brown University shooting suspect. Not only that, they released. Local authorities there released a new person of interest. So. So Providence police said this investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest. They went on to say that anyone with information should cause like should call the tip line right in proximity of the person of interest. So we, we've seen this, we've been covering this all week and we have this photo that we showed all week long of the first suspect. And he was wearing the dark pants, kind of similar but different guy, right? They had him, he's walking around. This is a different person. So what we're looking at now is the new person of interest. That's not to say that they're not still looking at the first guy. They just think that this person was in proximity of the person of interest. I do have a few questions. When were, when were they in close proximity there? They've released some videos of these guys walking around. Was that when they were in close proximity? Did they think that this person had something to do with the shooting? Was it a two man job? Are they looking at another person? Is this someone that authorities think might just know something about the shooter, could identify the shooter? Were they in close proximity right after the shooting? Like were they in close proximity on campus during the shooting, soon after the shooting, when he was on the run, or just in general like a friend of it? I just had a lot of questions. I feel like the way that they worded that, it could go a lot of different ways. Also the quality of the image is so bad and this is always the case with CCTV footage and ring doorbell footage or whatever. In the big year of 2025, you would think that we could get some good footage. Can we pull this up again? I mean I saw this and I thought, and listen, this is why I'm sitting in this chair and I don't work for the FBI and I don't work in law enforcement because I'm bad at this stuff, right? I'm not supposed I'm bad at this. But they're asking for the public's help and I'm of no help because I don't know if this is a man or woman even. And ding, ding, ding. I think that might have something to do with it. I'm just going to say that again. I have no basis for that. I'm just saying I looked at this photo, and the first photo kind of looks like a man, but then you look and I don't know, like, does it have boobs, the way that he's holding his hands, or it's like a little feminine. You know, he's larger in the hip area. I think, like, the hip and thighs look a little feminine to me. I'm not gonna lie. But the face looks so masculine in the front photo. Then the side profile looks like a woman to me. And, you know, when you can't tell if someone is a woman or a man, most of the time that means they are in the middle, they are in a transition. Most trans people, they look like they are in a transition. That is for damn sure. We don't know which way they're going, which way they came from, but they look like they're somewhere in the middle, and it's confusing. That's what. That's the. I don't know. That's the impression that I got from seeing that photo. I don't know that to be true. I just can't tell if it's a man or a woman. And I think, you know, that would be helpful if we're trying to find someone who's on the loose or someone who's in connection or in proximity to the shooter. So, listen, I'm not trying to, like, shame law enforcement here. They're working with what they have, right? We have this ring doorbell footage. They have other photos. But, you know, how helpful can I be? How helpful can the public be? I don't. I don't know who this is. Also the original, just to goes to show how not helpful I am. The pictures from yesterday of the first. Well, not the first person of interest that they released, like the first. The second guy that was wearing the mask and the black beanie and the black pants and the. The olive green black jacket, right? We're talking about that guy. They said that that guy was 5, 8. And from me just looking at the footage, I would have guessed way taller. So. But I'm not good at that. I'm not good at guessing ages. That's like my worst. I'm not good at this, but just goes to show, like, I'm of no help because I thought that the guy was way taller. And by those standards, then, like, how tall is this person, this second person? I don't know. But again, authorities urge anyone with information to contact the police. The tip line, that is 401272, 3121. So if you were in the Providence area. Or if you recognize this he, she, they do help. I'm of no help, but please help. If you can also have an update from yesterday's show on the woman that we played this video of a Target employee named Jeannie, and she was wearing a red Charlie Kirk shirt to work. And it had freedom on it. It had an American flag on the back. It had an American flag on the. The sleeve. And she was confronted by an angry, deranged Karen, who. And that's not her actual name, but she's a Karen. And she was yelling at her profanity, just disgusting language, calling her a pos. And. And all this stuff for supporting Charlie Kirk. She claims that how could you support a racist? All this stuff. And of course, the woman wearing the Charlie Kirk shirt, as we know, was nothing but kind and nice to this woman and who is dishing out just horrible words at her, right? Lashing out at her. And it turns out that this video goes viral didn't really get the reaction that I think the woman wanted. I think the woman wanted to go viral, and she thought that she was going to be the hero in all of this, claiming that, you know, this woman pointing out that she's a racist, Right? But it went the other way around. The woman, Jeannie, who works at Target, ended up getting some hefty donations that someone set up a give send go for her. The goal was $200,000 to give her a vacation. And they've raised, you know, at this point, almost there, they've raised $155,928. And I'm sure that is counting, right? That is going up, up, up, up, up. That's a lot of money to raise in just one day. And I saw on X too, that Andrew Clovet from Turning Point USA said that he was interested in getting in touch with her and inviting her to Am Fest. They want to bring her on stage, roll out the red carpet, if you will, which I think would be really cool. And the woman that was yelling and was being horrible is reportedly an employee at somewhere called Enlo Health. And. And we know this is all kind of like social media speculation. You know, everyone tries to jump and tries to cancel people and whatever and dox people. And I don't like to get into that. The only reason why I'm saying Enlo Health is because police confirmed that they were investigating a social media post on the personal account of an Enlo Health employee. So for that reason, we think that this is the woman and Enlo Health that allegedly Employs this hateful, disgusting person said. We are deeply concerned about the tenor of this post and the response it is creating from individuals of all political persuasions. Okay. We ask for patience and calm as we conduct our own internal investigation on this matter. In the meantime, we are relying on the expertise of the Chico Police Department to investigate any potential criminal activity or threats related to it. And this happened in Chico, California. The Chico Police Department said this. The Chico Police Department is aware of the video circulating online depicting a verbal confrontation inside a local business. We are actively investigating the incident with our local partners. So more on that when we have confirmed details. But I also wanted to get into more details that we've learned since the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner. Just absolutely horrific. The details just get worse and worse the more we hear about this. And of course their own son, Nick Reiner, who's 32 years old, he was charged and arrested with two counts of first degree murder, the use of a dangerous weapon and a knife. He is in custody without bail. He was supposed to make an appearance in court yesterday, but his attorney said that he wasn't medically ready to do that, whatever that means. But the New York Times has reported and apparently they've spoken with, you know, sources. Right? These are all anonymous sources, so take that with a grain of salt. But the New York Times sources say that a massage therapist arrived at the home of the Reiners for an appointment on Sunday morning and she couldn't get into the house. Like no one was answering the door. Obviously the people inside were dead. And the therapist then contacted Romy Reiner, who is their daughter. She lives nearby. She ended up going over to the house, found her dad's body and left the house. She fled the house. She was so distraught. She didn't even know that her mother's body was also inside. So she was with a roommate. The roommate called 91 1. And then when authorities came to the house, that's when they found Michelle Reiner's body. This is by far some of the most horrific details that I've heard since this case. I mean, having their own daughter find the body, I. I cannot imagine. You know, you try in these situations. Think of the humanity, right? I know that this kind of story has gotten political and it's taken political turns, but I don't care what they said about whoever, I don't care where they stood politically. Can you imagine walking into your parents house and finding your dad dead? I can't. I can't imagine that kind of hurt and it's. It's horrific. So based on that information, if that is all true, then if she came into the house, found her dad's body dead, didn't know that her mom was dead in the house, that means that those bodies were separate from each other. So either one of the bodies was moved, or the son, Nick Reiner, who's suspected of murdering both of them, killed one and then went to a separate area of the house to kill another. So that's just a detail. But the remaining, Not Nick Reiner, but the other two children, Jake and Romy Reiner, put out a statement to TMZ saying, words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren't just our parents. They were our best friends. We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends, but people from all walks of life. We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave. Just reading that, it just makes me sick. It makes me so sad. I mean, imagine you have to cope with the loss of both your parents on the same day at the hands of your own brother, who has been struggling with drugs his whole life, right? What immense loss to. I mean, losing one of your parents, I can't imagine that. Losing two. Losing them in the same day, losing them at the hands of another family member that you, you know and you love and you've grown up with. I mean, it's unimaginable. And they said that it is unimaginable pain that they are going through, and it's. It's just horrific. That's why I think that we should show this family, regardless of what they believe or if they hate all MAGA people and want all of us to die or whatever, I mean, this is. This is horrible. And we try to remember that this is a human being going through or human beings going through, just something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So this is what I keep in mind during this story, but it is just horrible. And the New York Times also spoke to another source that said there wasn't a fight at Conan o' Brien's Christmas party. Apparently that was what was circulating in the news yesterday. We covered this on the show, that there was some kind of a Altercation, if you will, like a verbal altercation that took place at Conan o' Brien's Christmas party. And Nick Reiner was at the party. And according to this source in the New York Times, he was acting erratically. And apparently he had gone up to comedian Bill Hader while Bill was in a conversation with someone else. And Nick interrupted the conversation. And Bill Hader said something along the lines, according to this source, of, sorry, this is a private conversation. And apparently Nick Reiner just kind of stormed off. And this source, according to the New York Times, said that Rob Reiner addressed his son at the party, saying that this behavior was inappropriate for a guest in someone else's home. Based on this, too. I mean, going up to someone and interrupting them. There's more to the story because you can walk up to someone having a conversation and someone could tell you, you know, hey, sorry, like, we'll connect later, or, hey, you know, I'm in the middle of a conversation. That alone isn't enough to be like, hey, that's inappropriate. Don't do that in someone else's home. So I think this source saying that they were acting erratically, I think there's more to the story here. I don't think it's just going up to Bill Hader. I don't think that that's all that happened. But this person close to the family said that they weren't in a position to dispute that Rob Reiner rebuked his son in the moment. But they said that it wasn't a heated argument and that everyone talking about how there was something that went down at Conan o' Brien's Christmas party, they were overblowing it. So I don't know. I think this is one of those things where we. We probably won't know all the details, but the Reiners had a lot of celebrity friends, given their illustrious careers and, you know, the entertainment industry. And according to Michelle Obama, they were very close. They were supposed to have dinner, actually, the night that they were found dead. Watch this. I also, I feel like I should.

Bring up, I know you and your husband were friends with Robin, Michelle Reiner, and I'm very sorry for your loss.

F (44:58)

Oh, my God.

D (44:59)

How long have you known the Reiners?

F (45:01)

We've known them for many, many years. And we were supposed to be seeing them that night, last night, and we got the news. And let me just say this. Unlike some people, Rob and Michelle Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people you ever want to know. They are not deranged, crazed, what they have Always been are passionate people in a time when there's not a lot of courage going on. They were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about. And they cared about their family and they cared about this country and they cared about fairness and equity. And that is the truth. I do know them.

Michelle Obama. We'll be right back. Such a weird, like, throwaway segment before a break too. And you can tell from that video that they were joking and laughing about something else. Then he does this hard turn to the Reiners. Then she drops this bombshell that she was supposed to get dinner with them the night that they were found killed. Because they were found. We're still not sure if they were killed on Saturday night or Sunday morning. They were found on Sunday morning, so we just don't know. It's probably, probably happened the night before. But again, so she says we were supposed to have dinner with them the night of, so I'm assuming the night that they were found. So Sunday night. And she said last night. And she was on Jimmy Kimmel last night, Tuesday. So they were supposed to get dinner with them Monday, not Sunday. I mean, I know that she's, again, I'm just trying to like, put the puzzle pieces together and what she's saying isn't really, the timeline's not really adding up. But I think that this is really odd. I think if you are close friends with someone who was murdered in this high profile case and in such a horrific, tragic way, you go on Jimmy Kimmel's show a day or two later, that's not the kind of friend that I am. Like, does anyone else think that this is strange if a couple that I was close enough with, close enough friends with to have dinner with them was murdered? Consider my schedule cleared for a while. I think I would tell Jimmy Kimmel, hey, you're Michelle Obama. You can tell Jimmy Kimmel when you're coming on and when you're not, they can book someone else. So the fact that she agreed to do this interview and they were kind of like joking before and then it's like, you know, we'll be right back. Like, what? That is so strange. Someone in the chat said they are not normal people. Super weird. Yeah. And I also think it's, there are other weird things about the Obamas. And, you know, I, I'm still not over the chef that died paddleboarding at their house. What? I mean, I guess stranger things have happened, but that's pretty strange. So I don't know. It's Just, it's all very odd. I, I personally, I'm not leaving the house. If my close and personal friends that I was going to get dinner with were murdered, that would really shake me and really freak me out. And I, I would not be going on Jimmy Kimmel and joking and laughing about other stuff. Just really, really strange. I want to move now to the word of the year. So Merriam Webster dictionary, they do this every year. They come out with a word of the year and we're heading into, you know, the end of 2025 here and they have deemed the word of the year slop. It is slop. And now this. I was reading this and the first sentence of this says, Merriam Webster's human editors have chosen slop as the 2025 Word of the year. We define slop as digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence. And I don't know why they felt the need to say that their human editors have chosen slop as the term. That's kind of like I would just assume that they were human. Unless Merriam Webster has AI editors that they use. And maybe that's true. I don't know, maybe this is just their joking because the word of the year slop is connected to AI. So they were like haha, like our human editors chose slop. You know, I don't know, I thought that was really odd. But you know, we cover AI slop on this show all the time, in scrolling time. And I actually don't have any, I don't have any AI slot videos tonight. But you know, the week is young. We can still, we can still have some AI slop tomorrow and Friday. But I thought that it was odd that they said human editors. Also they included in this piece highly searched terms of the year. And we have some political ones here. Gerrymander. This happens with all the redistricting that happened this year. So gerrymander. What else? Conclave, you know, as the Cardinals chose the new Pope this year. 67 was another term, I guess you could say, or highly searched, which is a meme that has gone viral. It comes from the song doot doot 67 by rapper Skrilla and it is used in viral videos and memes featuring the 6 foot 7 inch tall NBA player LaMelo Ball. So now all the kids, if you are a grandparent watching or if you are a parent watching, you already know what six seven is. You've heard it. Six seven most annoying thing ever, right? So that is one of the most searched Words, I guess you can call it a word. What else? Tariff. Big word of the year. Also performative. And touch grass. Performative. This is always what we call liberals, right? This is a virtue signal. Performative. They're virtue signaling. They're. They're going out and they're marching around, and they. They want to do it because they want other people to see that they're doing it. That's all. That's all they really care about. It is the black square mentality. Post a black square post. Post the infographic on Instagram. People will think you're a good person. That is being performative. Also, touch grass. People need to touch grass. That means get off your phone, go out, breathe some fresh air. Touch grass. Get off the Internet. Touch grass. All right, let's get into scrolling time. Yeah, People were saying it's multiple words, right? Like 6, 7. Is isn't even a word. It's numbers. And people were saying that touch grass is two words. Well, slop is the word of the year. And then these were highly searched terms. But, yes, touch grass, technically not a term. It's. Well, I guess it's a term, but it's two words. Whatever. All right, this first one, I posted this on X earlier today, and boy, did it get the boys all mad. They were all riled up about this one. So this is a video of a girl on the train. She is complaining that no men are getting up to give her a seat. Watch this. So she's standing up, girl in the middle of the train. There's a bunch of guys around her. They are all sitting. So then it seems like. Then her friend pulls out the phone. Then she does the performative thing, right? And she starts saying, oh, my feet hurt. Oh, my legs hurt. Trying to see if guys will get up. I honestly, once you start complaining now, you're annoying. I actually don't blame them for not getting up in this moment because she's being a pain in the ass. But it did get me thinking, like, why do men not get up for women on the trains anymore? And I experienced this myself, living in New York City, going on the subway. Very rare that anyone would get up for someone else. And I had even seen. I mean, I would get up for pregnant women, I would get up for families so that their kids could sit together. This is just something like when you see a group of people that needs to sit together or someone that needs a chair more than you do, someone elderly. It's just like the nice thing to do. Not even technically chivalrous. But just like the nice thing to do. So I put this out on X earlier and I said, men, what's happening here? I can smell the you ask for equality responses from a mile away. And yes, we got a lot of those. But I said, but feminine women still exist and gentlemen do, too. If chivalry is dead because of feminism, women, why did we allow it to happen? And I said, we, because I'm not blaming men and I'm not blaming women. Like, this is all of us, right? Because at some point someone had to give women more power, right? Like women are at fault because feminism caused them to fight for more power. They want to smash the glass ceiling, they want to smash the patriarchy, they want to do all this annoying stuff, right? And at some point, men allowed it to happen, right? So we're all at fault for this. It is a societal issue that stems from feminism. But I believe that we are all to blame. I would never just place the blame on men. I would never just place the blame all on women. It's kind of this thing that's been happening for years and years and years. But I asked men because I wanted to know. And it's very interesting, the responses that we got, because based on this video, I think this is the tube in London. I think the girl had an accent in this. And it looks like a lot of the guys sitting, not all of them, but a lot of them look Middle Eastern. And a lot of the guys that commented on this said, this is a culture cultural issue. Women are voting for this mass immigration. And we're seeing this. We are seeing an influx of people from different cultures that do not appreciate Western culture at all, right? And we know that men from Eastern cultures, like the Middle east, they do not appreciate men. They do not appreciate women in the same way that men do in Western cultures. We know that. And women over there do not have the rights that we do, right? So they are not going to be so concerned with being chivalrous. But there are white men sitting down too. And people are basically very frustrated with women in general saying that women asked for this, women asked for equality. Therefore, we're not going to get up for you. Which my point was like, I get up for other women. I get up not because of gender norms or societal norms, but because if I see someone that's standing or needs help or whatever, I'm just going to do that because that's the right thing to do. So I think I should have said that in this post and made it less gendered, but very Interesting, because someone said, we don't do this anymore because of what happened to Daniel Penny. And Daniel Penny was the guy in New York who stepped in when a woman was getting assaulted by a crazed homeless person, and he stepped in and ended up killing that homeless person. And people are saying that because of what happened to Daniel Penney, because this happened in New York, and he was, you know, demonized for this and arrested for this and in jail for this. And, you know, we all know what happened. He's out now and all this stuff. But, you know, justice was served, and it wasn't served quick enough. I mean, he was in jail for defending a woman. And that is horrible. Right? And now I think a lot of men think, well, it's not worth it to defend women, especially in somewhere like New York or maybe a London where, you know, things are much different now. And I don't blame them. But someone also said after repeatedly being abused for holding a door open or offering a seat, you eventually stop doing that. Bed made so you can lie in it. There are no feminists in the foxholes are our men. And I need to put this out to the men in the chat. Are you being abused if you hold a door for a woman or offering a seat? Because some men in these comments were saying that liberal women will literally yell at you for offering your seat. They will say, what did you think, I'm weak? Like, they. They fight you on it. And I just have to say that liberal women are the problem. I just want to put that out there. Liberal women are the problem because I. If a man said, hey, would you like to get up or would you like me to get. Would you like this seat? I'd say, sure, of course. Thank you or no thank you. But thank you so much. I'd be polite. But I'm also not a feminist libtard, so, you know, for me, it doesn't make sense, but I just thought that that was interesting. People in the chat said, I will always give up my seat. And liberal women are deranged. So we'll leave it on that note. I agree. Liberal women are deranged. And thank you for scrolling along with me. I will see you right back here tomorrow. Bye.
