  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I remember when you could only get an AM radio,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and you'd have to get an FM converter and keep
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: it in your glove compartment and wire it up and
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: get FM. I mean, that was like... My 65 Volkswagen,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: my 65 Tempest, my 65 Corvair had that same FM adapter.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm trying to remember back in the 90s
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: when there were no... Some people had cell phones. Let's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: say the late 80s, you had no cell phones. When
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you were driving, what the hell did you do? Who
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: did you talk to? You couldn't talk to anybody.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: That's true. I can't imagine... driving without any kind of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: radio at all. It's impossible. I mean, my whole life
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: has been spent listening to the radio as I drive.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you always had a radio, but when you didn't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have a phone and you couldn't call anybody on a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: long drive, what the hell? You just listen to the radio.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It's so monotonous. Can you imagine? You've got to actually
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: pay attention to the road.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But I wanted to point something out about answering the subpoena.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Only Republicans seem to answer the subpoenas. If you're Eric Holder,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you just ignore it, you know?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: So.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of Democrats have defied those congressional subpoenas.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Eric Holder was the Attorney General, Janet Reno, plenty of them,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and nothing ever happens.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is, have you ever noticed how
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: regressive progressives are? You know, how they're all against progress.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: This data center AI thing is the most recent one
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of their shenanigans, you know, about denying progress. It's a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive way to exist.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Well... In this case, they're not really denying progress. They
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: just need to replace things. You know, they had the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: nuclear plants. That was the one thing they would scare
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you with. Nuclear plants. Well, now the data centers, these
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: are the new nuclear plants.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And Y2K, 25 years ago, it was Y2K. The world
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was going to come to an end.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That wasn't just Democrats. There were a lot of people.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: That's a good example of people thinking AI is going
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to kill us all. It was believed Y2K would kill
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: us all that. Right. That's a good point.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: We're going to drop out of the sky. Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Good point, Mike. Thanks for calling. Yeah. Just for you, uh,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: people wondering about this AI stuff in the year 1998
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and then 99, uh, we had gone, uh, online. We
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: were digital. We were Google. Uh, was there, no, there
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't a Google yet, but there was all, we're all
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: online in AOL chat rooms and that sort of stuff. But, uh,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: When the year 2000 happened, I don't remember exactly how
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they came up with this, but they thought it was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: called Y2K, that everything would collapse, all of society, the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: whole internet would collapse. Something about switching to the next century,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that the computers, the digital, nothing would be able to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: keep up with it, and that airplanes would literally fall
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: out of the sky because the computer would lose control.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It was a big thing. Go look it up. Y2K, 2020.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Six years ago, Y2K, everybody was terrified. They were terrified
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to leave their house the next day. Y2K is going
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to kill us all. So same thing going on today. Yeah,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you know, if you got in the time capsule and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you went back to 1993, they had cell phones, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you couldn't really use it in the car. And it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was a big bulky thing. And you could only make
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a call. You didn't really use it that much. You
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: could barely hear anything on them. So It was a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: different world. You know, if you go to the doctor
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and even they got an appointment, they make you wait.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you sit in that waiting room for 30 minutes.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You know, you get so mad. You keep going up
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the desk. Now, you don't care if they make you wait.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I got my phone. I'm watching movies. I'm on YouTube.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I'm reading something. I'm on Instagram. In fact, when they
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: call you, it's finally your turn. Now you get mad. Wait,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I was just watching something. I got to turn it off.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So it's the same thing at the airport. You know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that's where they can keep you waiting forever. You got
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: your phone. You don't mind waiting. You got a million
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: things to look at, read, watch. So, hey, Nick Reiner,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: son of Rob Reiner. We haven't heard about him in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a while. He was in court yesterday. Do you know
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's one year? Almost one year. December will be one year.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So it's like 10 months. It's a long time ago.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Nick Reiner, who murdered his parents, Rob Reiner, Michelle Reiner,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: appeared in court. Looked a little different. He had a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: little bit of a facial stubble, a little bit of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a beard. his short hair growing long. This is not
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a good look for a crazed killer, the beard and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the long hair. You might want to tone that down
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: if you're going into court. But he was strangely calm,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: totally emotionless. Clearly, he's just completely nuts. I mean, total
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: mental disorder in this kid for most of his life.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But all this time, I think he's in solitary confinement.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's just made him just like numb, They said he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: was eerily calm, wore a brown jail uniform, sat there
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: totally emotionless, did speak to the judge. He'll remain in
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: prison forever. The family, believe it or not, the brothers
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and sisters, have gone in and argued on his behalf.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And it's believed that they may have gotten the death
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: penalty off the table, that it would just be life
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in prison. So despite everything that's happened, the brothers and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: sisters fighting to get rid of the death penalty. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: one of the strangest stories ever in Hollywood. Hey, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: got a lot coming up today. And don't forget, I'm
