Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mamas,
- 0:02Speaker 1: what was your reaction to Rob Reiner's murder.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our Americ in mama's mama, Mama, and
- 0:20Speaker 2: Jodie is now our American mama.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Terry Netderville. I want to start by saying, there are
- 0:26Speaker 1: two of my favorite movies of all time were Rob
- 0:30Speaker 1: Reiner movies. When When Harry Met Sally is one of them,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and then The Princess Bride. Absolutely I will watch either
- 0:40Speaker 1: one of those films that they come on at any time.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I will watch them every time. He was also in
- 0:45Speaker 1: Sleepless in Seattle. I will watch that anytime. So there's
- 0:49Speaker 1: stuff that Rob Reiner has contributed to society that I,
- 0:55Speaker 1: as a fan, absolutely enjoy. I've disagreed with his politics,
- 1:02Speaker 1: but that really doesn't have anything to do with the murder.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Is that right now?
- 1:06Speaker 3: I'm with you. And of course we first were introduced
- 1:09Speaker 3: to him as Meathead on Archie.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Which was a political sitcom and no way you make
- 1:15Speaker 1: that show today, right right, no doubt.
- 1:18Speaker 3: But what's so interesting is it was so true to
- 1:20Speaker 3: life for him because he did become such an advocate
- 1:23Speaker 3: for the left right had made no bones about his feelings.
- 1:27Speaker 1: His character was a hippie slash socialist, and he's kind
- 1:32Speaker 1: of lived his entire life as a hippie slash socialist
- 1:35Speaker 1: slash artist, and you know with him.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Well, first of all, let me just say, you know,
- 1:41Speaker 3: with regard to the question, when I first heard the news,
- 1:43Speaker 3: I was devastated for his family, right I cannot even
- 1:47Speaker 3: imagine because by the time I heard heard the news,
- 1:50Speaker 3: I also heard that it was the son that stabbed them.
- 1:53Speaker 3: So I really was very sad for this family. I
- 1:58Speaker 3: can't even imagine what they're feeling right now.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Well, and on Instagram, his daughter romy posted the last
- 2:03Speaker 1: picture she took with her dad. They were on apparently
- 2:05Speaker 1: vacation at the beach and they were swimming together and
- 2:07Speaker 1: she was cuddled up with them on the couch and
- 2:09Speaker 1: just a real touching And that's one of the things
- 2:13Speaker 1: we've got to remember that even when we have political opponents,
- 2:17Speaker 1: they have family.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and he thought about that when Charlie Kirk died.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I will say you said that.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Before I get to you know, the other things that's
- 2:25Speaker 3: happening today with regard to Trump and what he posted
- 2:28Speaker 3: on Truth social I will say that that kind of
- 2:32Speaker 3: softened me towards him. When I saw his response to
- 2:35Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk's death, I thought that was loving, kind human
- 2:40Speaker 3: to be so decent even though he disagreed with you know,
- 2:44Speaker 3: all of his he made sure that was out there
- 2:46Speaker 3: that he disagreed with Charlie. He felt so sad and said,
- 2:49Speaker 3: this is not the way. This is not the way.
- 2:51Speaker 1: And he has said some really awful things about President
- 2:54Speaker 1: Trump in the past. He has he's been one of
- 2:57Speaker 1: the most vocal critics. He doesn't think that President trum
- 3:00Speaker 1: should exist. I mean it didn't in times and hated,
- 3:05Speaker 1: absolutely hated that President Trump was the president. Is that
- 3:08Speaker 1: is that fair to say?
- 3:09Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I mean I'm going to read just a
- 3:11Speaker 3: couple of these things. This is you know, well, I'll
- 3:13Speaker 3: say I texted my sisters. We have our own thread
- 3:16Speaker 3: that we talked with each other throughout the day, and
- 3:18Speaker 3: I sent the truth social that Trump said, and I said,
- 3:22Speaker 3: I really wish that President Trump would have handled this
- 3:26Speaker 3: differently today. I got I was a little uncomfortable, and
- 3:30Speaker 3: both Kimberly and Landsay are like, yeah, man. As the
- 3:34Speaker 3: day went on, people started hammering Trump for the way
- 3:39Speaker 3: he responded for.
- 3:41Speaker 1: The posting it on true social Yes, and I.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Guess have you Yeah, we need to read a little
- 3:45Speaker 3: bit of that, probably.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Because he came out and said this is his post.
- 3:50Speaker 1: A sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Ryner,
- 3:52Speaker 1: a tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director
- 3:55Speaker 1: and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle,
- 3:58Speaker 1: reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive,
- 4:02Speaker 1: unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known
- 4:05Speaker 1: as Trump arrangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. He
- 4:09Speaker 1: was known to have driven people crazy by his raging
- 4:11Speaker 1: obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoi
- 4:14Speaker 1: reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all golds
- 4:17Speaker 1: and expectations of greatness and with the Golden Age of
- 4:19Speaker 1: America upon us perhaps like never before. May Robin Michelle
- 4:22Speaker 1: rest in peace?
- 4:23Speaker 3: Right, So that's what made me uncomfortable, is like dang,
- 4:25Speaker 3: I wish she would have risen above. But as the
- 4:27Speaker 3: day has gone on, you find out little tidbits like
- 4:32Speaker 3: when rush Limball died and the vitriol the day that
- 4:35Speaker 3: he died, that Rob Reiner put out on Twitter, right,
- 4:38Speaker 3: and as you alluded to before, he said some horrendous
- 4:42Speaker 3: things about Trump liar, cheat or rapist, you know, illegitimate,
- 4:46Speaker 3: all the things. But Kimberly wrote this back in our
- 4:49Speaker 3: thread and I thought this was so She said, this
- 4:51Speaker 3: is so interesting to me. She said, Trump says Rob
- 4:54Speaker 3: was a jerk, but what a sad way to go.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Rest in peace to he and his wife. And the
- 4:57Speaker 3: left goes nuts because his tone seemed disingenuous. Even most
- 5:01Speaker 3: of us on the right were thinking, Wow, you had
- 5:03Speaker 3: a moment that you could have shown the left how
- 5:05Speaker 3: it should be done, you know, Trump versus pure elation, joy, celebration,
- 5:10Speaker 3: dancing in the streets, even Halloween costumes depicting Charlie Kirk's assassination,
- 5:14Speaker 3: and the only blowback they had was from those on
- 5:16Speaker 3: the rights.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you're going to see any Halloween
- 5:19Speaker 1: costumes of Rob Reiner's murder.
- 5:21Speaker 3: No, absolutely, not from conservative And you know, there's no
- 5:25Speaker 3: way of knowing this, but you know, if Trump had
- 5:27Speaker 3: passed away and in a similar light, who knows what
- 5:31Speaker 3: Rob Reiner would have said. So what Trump was basically
- 5:34Speaker 3: saying is, you know, yeah, the dude he had some
- 5:38Speaker 3: mental illness because of Think about all the things that
- 5:40Speaker 3: he lied about, you know about our side he you know,
- 5:43Speaker 3: f maga, there are a bunch of a holes. I mean,
- 5:45Speaker 3: the list goes on and on. My problem is when
- 5:48Speaker 3: anybody dies, especially in a horrific way like that, and
- 5:51Speaker 3: it's their son who had drug issues. I mean, the
- 5:54Speaker 3: kid was in eighteen rehabs by the time he was
- 5:56Speaker 3: twenty two. Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I don't think this son murdered his parents because of
- 6:00Speaker 1: arrangement sooner.
- 6:01Speaker 2: I don't think that was what it was.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Yeah. But anyway, what I was saying was I think
- 6:07Speaker 3: that no matter what, no matter what, we should all
- 6:11Speaker 3: be sad when somebody has passed away in such a
- 6:14Speaker 3: tragic way like this, and keep that in mind, in
- 6:16Speaker 3: the forefront of our mind.
