WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:07.559
<v Speaker 1>And now it's time for Joe Escalante live from Hollywood.

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.359
<v Speaker 1>If my Hollywood you mean Burbie across the street promo

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 1>meaners and it's that serves beer.

4
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Joe Escalante here, Hey, Sam, I can't hear myself in

5
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the headphones. But it could just be a headphone problem

6
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 2>for me. Can you hear me?

7
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 3>It'd be nice if I turned on my own mic. Yes,

8
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 3>I hear you loud and clear.

9
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>It'd be better. I from as long as America can

10
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>hear me.

11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll find something that I'll come in over and

12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 3>make sure that you can actually hear yourself. How about now?

13
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Can you hear yourself? Now?

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>No, I can't hear I mean, I guess it's just

15
00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 2>a headphone problem. So these are my headphones. So wait

16
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a second. I think I can kind of hear myself now,

17
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and now I can. Could you do something new? Oh,

18
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>you have a new board?

19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Come on, I have a new board. But I did

20
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 3>not touch that. Come on, but it's a nice new board.

21
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Good for you and your board. Thank you, nice new board.

22
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, this is two hours of the business. End

23
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of show business. Do this every Sunday right here in

24
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>KiB eleven fifty on your AM dial. People are now

25
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>just kind of I don't know if they're laughing at

26
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>me or if they're just think it's so cool that

27
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I am an AM radio talk show host, that I'm

28
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>on AM radio. I'm not on some podcast where guests

29
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>come in and they serve them tapwater. This is a

30
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>real iHeart station. This is good old fashioned AM radio.

31
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>So you made the right choice by tuning in at

32
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>this time. If you are listening to it as a podcast,

33
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>there's hope for you. But get yourself an AM radio.

34
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>It's badass. Yeah, it's like what hipsters have with Banjo's

35
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 3>ten years ago.

36
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely right, and then the cassette craze. This is it.

37
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>This is the next thing, the am radio thing. Absolutely,

38
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I might grow beard.

39
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>I did.

40
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>See you're ahead of me there. I see there's a

41
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>new board in here. Do they have a clock?

42
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 4>No?

43
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I still have the same clock in here. It's it

44
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 3>still works.

45
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>But what about the like the host gets to see

46
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the clock and can like, you know, hit the marks

47
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. I have a clock on my computer.

48
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's stick with that. Let's not overload the new

49
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>studio or the new board.

50
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, as I said, two hours of the business

51
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>end of show business, which also includes a lot of

52
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 2>defamation cases. Everybody soon everybody for defamation. So we're going

53
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.039
<v Speaker 2>to start this show before we get to the box

54
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>office and all that stuff. Let's start with a little defamation.

55
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I want to go ahead and pull up that defamation

56
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>theme song. Oh we don't have one, all right, Well

57
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>it's something to think about. Uh. There's a prominent defamation

58
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 2>lawsuit pitting French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte

59
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>rep Macron against conservative podcaster Candace Owens. Have you heard

60
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>about this one, Sam?

61
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 3>I have not, but I know Candace Owens is kind

62
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 3>of trying to get her name out there a little

63
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 3>bit more, or saying things that more and more people

64
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>are finding disagreeable.

65
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess poor or again a people love her. I've

66
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>had people that come to me, are you watching Candace

67
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Owe's on on YouTube? She's amazing that. I watched her,

68
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, you know, I'm a pretty conservative person,

69
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 2>so I go, okay, well you know, uh, but then

70
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought, okay, she's bold, and yeah, she's causing fireworks.

71
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 2>And then she started talking about something that I happen

72
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>to know a lot about And then I was like, wait,

73
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't know what she's talking about on this subject,

74
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>so maybe she doesn't know what she's talking about on

75
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>other subjects. Is what I had to conclude. And I,

76
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I've been kind of radicalized by podcasts

77
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>in a way where I don't believe anybody any any

78
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe anything anybody says anymore. But this one

79
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>is juicy, So let's dive into it. Sam. Now, as

80
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>we go into this defamation case, our listeners will know

81
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>from listening to this show, what are the elements of

82
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 2>a defamation case that you have to have to win

83
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 2>a deformation case? Number one? Sam, what is it?

84
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 3>It makes me spit on the ground?

85
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Two? Yeah, it has to be something terrible that they

86
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>say it makes people spit on the ground. Hawk two

87
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>girl is I don't know why you're bringing her up.

88
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 3>No, it was just a iron chic reference.

89
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, iron cheek. Okay, you're BRONI Yeah, okay, So it

90
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>has to be something that makes people spit on the ground.

91
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>And what's the other one?

92
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 3>It has to be provably false.

93
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it has to be not true.

94
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

95
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.519
<v Speaker 2>So and then if it's a celebrity. Then you need

96
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>this higher level of malice. There has to be something

97
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>that they know it was false. They knew it was false,

98
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and they had an agenda to harm the person. That

99
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>would be a good case of malice. So this lawsuit

100
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.639
<v Speaker 2>filed by these French people in our own American Delaware

101
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>court accuses Candas Owens of repeatedly spreading the false claim

102
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 2>that Brigitte Macron is a man. According to the Macrones

103
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>legal team, this amounts to a campaign of global humiliation.

104
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 2>The lawyer stated that the law suit was just, you know,

105
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>a last resort of sorts after years of unsuccessful attempts

106
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 2>to get Owens to retract her statements. Did they go

107
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>as far as to show the private parts? No, they didn't.

108
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 2>They said that they don't want to dignify her with

109
00:05:50.519 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>any kind of picks Owens, she responded, She said, Avis,

110
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a desperate public relations strategy, and she has

111
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>doubled down on her claims that that Brigitte is a man.

112
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>The complaint filed UH is a two hundred and nineteen

113
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>pages of allegations and evidence asserting that Brigitte mat Crone

114
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>was in fact born a woman. She's always been a woman.

115
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>So I would say it's something that is proved. You could,

116
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>if you can prove its false, come in and prove

117
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>it's false. You know, maybe a DNA test. I'm not

118
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a licensed to practice medicine in California, but

119
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I would assume a DNA test would would would? I mean,

120
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there's other tests, but like a chromosome test,

121
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. You can prove that she was a man? Yeah,

122
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean that she was a woman and she always

123
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>been a woman. So now we got that one taken

124
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 2>care of. If and then is it something makes me

125
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>people spit on the ground. Well, you could argue either way, like,

126
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>well there's no harm in being a trans woman.

127
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 3>It depends on who you're asking, right.

128
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>And it depends on the jury. But I would say,

129
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>if you're masquerading as a woman and you're really a

130
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.680
<v Speaker 2>man and you don't tell people that it makes people

131
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>spit on the ground, you're committing a lie. To the

132
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>French people, Okay, you're like Marie Antoinette or something. So

133
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>they've got the elements. Now what about the malice? What

134
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>do you think, Sam, she's a public figure people, do

135
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 2>people really believe her? When she says this is that

136
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>she's a man, you know? Or is it like, okay,

137
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>this is a right wing podcaster railing against a liberal

138
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 2>European leader.

139
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to say because it is it really actually malicious?

140
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Where's the what's the malicious intent of it? And are

141
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>they trying to just poke fun or are they actually

142
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 3>trying to create some kind of a measurable stir because

143
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 3>of this.

144
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's a good analysis. The people know

145
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 2>that she's trying to get clicks, she's trying to get views, likes,

146
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 2>all that kind of stuff. So I think people would say,

147
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>you know what, that's just an American podcaster saying that's,

148
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, like they said about Michelle Obama. That's a

149
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of people say, I've never seen Michelle Obama sue

150
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 2>anyone over it. But this woman is a bit relentless.

151
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think it's a winner. But what does

152
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 2>it do? It chills her speech and she might get

153
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>a little she might drop it because she has a

154
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and nineteen or whatever it is page document

155
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>that when you tell your lawyers you're defending a defamation

156
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>case with the two hundred nineteen pages in it, they're

157
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, well, you got to give me two hundred

158
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 2>nineteen thousand dollars to handle this. However, there is a

159
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>way for Candae to get out of this and might

160
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe make some money. And I will tell you what

161
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>that is after we break for traffic Joe'scalante Live from Hollywood.

162
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Before we go, I actually now have our defamation theme song.

<v Speaker 5>Okay, Hey, Joe'scalante Life from Hollywood every Sunday right here

169
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 5>on a M eleven fifty k eib okay, one way.

170
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>We're talking before the traffic and all that stuff. Those

171
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>really cool commercials. You know, how's the worst commercials? I'll

172
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>tell you who tune in radio?

173
00:09:59.440 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Really?

174
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's they're they're they're horrific, They're terribly made. They're

175
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>an abortion yeah. Oh, and they make you listen to them.

176
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>They don't have enough inventory, so you have to hear

177
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>them over and over and over again. You guys are

178
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>driving around in your tesla's well, actually nobody has an

179
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 2>AM radio on your tesla. But if you're listening on

180
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 2>iHeart on the on the app, which you could be

181
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 2>while you're driving around in.

182
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Your car, which you should be doing while you're driving

183
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 3>in your car.

184
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you people, Well, then you don't know either. I'm

185
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the only one that knows because I'm well, I listened

186
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 2>to tune in radio and I can hear my own

187
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>show on tune in radio. Okay, because iHeart Radio doesn't

188
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>come in with the Tesla. It's tune in. Yeah, I

189
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>wish it was iHeart hard.

190
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 3>That's why we need AM radios in cars.

191
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Every car, oh, every car, every man, woman and child

192
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>needs an AM radio.

193
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 3>US hipsters need our outlet.

194
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 2>All right. The the the story we're talking about is

195
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Candice Owen's getting sued by the King and Queen of

196
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 2>France or whatever they're called all over there, Emmanuel Macral

197
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and Brigitte Macrawl. And she says, there is no doubt

198
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>this woman, the first Lady of France, is in fact

199
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.519
<v Speaker 2>a man born a man. And not only is a woman,

200
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 2>deny it, she's suing for defamation. So we established that

201
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>she had a that they don't have a good case

202
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>against Candice owns, but they are going to drive her nuts.

203
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>And make her pay a team of lawyers to sift

204
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 2>through this two hundred nineteen one thousand dollars I mean

205
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>two hundred nine now probably two hundred nineteen page a complaint.

206
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Now there's something you can do if someone sues you

207
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>for defamation and you're just like a podcaster. You have

208
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.799
<v Speaker 2>a free speech right. We have First Amendment, So there

209
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 2>is something that protects people, and I assume it applies

210
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 2>in this case. Sometimes there's like an exception here and there,

211
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think I see one in this particular case.

212
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 2>The anti slap motion that she can file. So this

213
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 2>is what you do when someone's suing you and has

214
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money and they think they can ruin

215
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>you by filing a nuisance lawsuit, which this I think

216
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 2>is kind of a nuisance lawsuit because they just don't

217
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>really have any chance of prevailing unless they went forum

218
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 2>shopping and found, like you know, maybe when of those

219
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Washington DC courts that hates conservatives. It's possible, but I

220
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 2>think maybe that's what they're banking on. But she is

221
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 2>going to file an anti slap motion, which means, hey,

222
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I have a First Amendment right to do this. You

223
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 2>have to prove and that shifts the burden on them

224
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>on the people suing you. Okay, you prove that you're

225
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>likely to win, and if you can show that to

226
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>the judge that you're likely to win, then the judgeill say, okay,

227
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>this is a pretty good case here. We got to

228
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 2>go forward because people need to be able to use

229
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>the courts for their defamation, be protective against defamation. But

230
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.159
<v Speaker 2>if the judge looks at it and goes, this is silly,

231
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to win. You lose the anti slap motion.

232
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Then you have to pay. Candice owns legal fees, so

233
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 2>it's very risky and a risky and her legal fees

234
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 2>are going to be quite high because this they've they've

235
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 2>really piled on her with a two hundred plus plage complaint.

236
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 3>Now where is is she filing the suit? In France

237
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 3>or out here?

238
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it's Outer France.

239
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 3>The outer France, not as opposed to Inner Mongolia.

240
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Now outer France where the where the coneheads are from?

241
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, yeah, yeah, this was filed in the Delaware court. Okay,

242
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Now these are lefties up there, probably, but I mean

243
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>they're Americans. They probably don't like to see people railroaded

244
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>by a foreign power, or the at least give her

245
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a shot at filing this the anti slap suit and

246
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 2>getting her legal fees paid. So before it would be

247
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 2>like if everybody with all the money would control the

248
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>courts and make sure that you can't you're just gonna

249
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>be sorry you ever mess with the big entity, that's

250
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna you know, wipe the floor of the courtroom with

251
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>your face and stuff like that. But now that with

252
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:14.279
<v Speaker 2>the anti slap motions available in most cases, you can

253
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>you can fight back. So the little the little guy

254
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>is a really good law because the little guy has been.

255
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Are there anti slap laws in Delaware?

256
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, that is a good question. They might. They might have.

257
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>They might have filed it there because they don't have them.

258
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 2>But in a normal situation that our listeners might be in,

259
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>remember the anti slap lawsuit. Now, what else is there

260
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>going on in the defamation world. We have another defamation case.

261
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 3>It does have an anti slap law.

262
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so she's she's gonna be fine. Yeah. President

263
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Trump also has a deformation case against a Wall Street journal.

264
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>He filed a ten billion dollar suit against the newspaper

265
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and its owner, Rupert Murdoch. And I thought they used

266
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 2>to be friends. It comes after the Wall Street Journal

267
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.720
<v Speaker 2>published an article on July seventeenth that Trump sent a

268
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 2>sexually suggestive letter and a drawing for Epstein's fiftieth birthday

269
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and three. Of course that Jeffrey Epstein

270
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 2>is the pedo file that everybody is just wishing would

271
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>go away. And everybody thinks that they can get all

272
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 2>the files released, that it's going to hurt their political enemies,

273
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 2>but no one really knows, but it is. It is

274
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 2>weird that, like, did Donald Trump campaigned on campaign on,

275
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:45.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting to the bottom of this, and then

276
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>all a sudden said, what are you talk about? Why

277
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 2>are you guys talking about this. Let's move on. We

278
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 2>got other things to do. You're still talking about that.

279
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 2>That strategy didn't work?

280
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 3>What phony dog poop?

281
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that strategy didn't work. So so people are still

282
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, all over it. And so he's filing this

283
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.679
<v Speaker 2>against the Wall Street Journal. I now, Wall Street Journal,

284
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.919
<v Speaker 2>let's go see if they have the Let's first let's

285
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>see what's on the I know we're gonna hit but okay,

286
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 2>this is what's in the letter. Okay, I haven't seen

287
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the letter I don't even know if they published it,

288
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>but I got a description of a letter from one

289
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:29.399
<v Speaker 2>of my sources. Type. Okay, it's a typewritten text framed

290
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 2>by the outline of a naked woman. So we got

291
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>an outline of a naked woman. It's like hand drawn

292
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 2>with a black marker. So you got to picture whether

293
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 2>you believe Donald Trump did this. The drawing reportedly features

294
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.759
<v Speaker 2>a pair of small arcs denoting a woman's breasts, a

295
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:54.080
<v Speaker 2>squiggly Donald signature allegedly placed below the woman's waist, mimicking

296
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.720
<v Speaker 2>public hare.

297
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Out in the public too. Yeah, I didn't know we

298
00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.600
<v Speaker 3>could do that.

299
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Pubicare really what it is?

300
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

301
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.119
<v Speaker 2>The letter was reportedly styled as an imaginary third person

302
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>conversation between Trump and Epstein. It concludes with the line

303
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:13.839
<v Speaker 2>happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.

304
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>President Trump is vehemently denied writing the letter or drawing

305
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the picture, calling it fake and stating these are not

306
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 2>my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don't

307
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 2>draw pictures, So.

308
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 3>That was the one that was the most easily even

309
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 3>readily debunked, because he's drawn pictures before for charities.

310
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 2>He draws pictures Okay, Yeah, but that's not what they

311
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:37.880
<v Speaker 2>have to prove is wrong. They have to prove that

312
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.240
<v Speaker 2>he wrote it. Yeah. And if people say I don't

313
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 2>draw pictures, that's not evidence of any kind.

314
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

315
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.720
<v Speaker 2>When I was a traffic judge, everyone came in, it's

316
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. I never speed there. I always stop

317
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 2>at that stop sign, and I go, that's not evidence,

318
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 2>So not evidence. So it it is. Now they're gonna go,

319
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 2>h they maybe they have an anti slap suit that

320
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.759
<v Speaker 2>they can go against him, and they'll have to prove

321
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 2>or establish that that that it's what they're saying about

322
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.319
<v Speaker 2>him is false, that they put a false report out there.

323
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.400
<v Speaker 2>So someone's gonna have to prove that this thing was

324
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.799
<v Speaker 2>written by him, and that will be the crux of

325
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 2>the case. But do they have Is there any actual malice?

326
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 2>I think there is. I think there is a malice

327
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 2>to destroy him, like everybody else wants to destroy him.

328
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So I believe you've got actual malice. We'll see if

329
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 2>it's It makes people spit on the ground, and we'll

330
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>see if it's true or not, so that one might

331
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>go forward. And now we will go forward with another

332
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 2>break and come back with more Joe'scalante Live from Hollywood.

333
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Joe'scalante Live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood you mean burd Bank,

334
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.480
<v Speaker 2>two hours of the business, end of show business, and

335
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I think we're done with defamation for the day. Said,

336
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit dry to me. It's I like

337
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>it because people are always thinking about, like I'm gonna

338
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>sue this guy for saying this, and I think it's

339
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.480
<v Speaker 2>it's good to pound into people's heads how hard it

340
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.599
<v Speaker 2>actually is, so that you won't clog up the courts

341
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 2>with frivolous lawsuits. But right now the courts are so

342
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 2>clogged because this is it. You're living in different times

343
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>because people are now, well, I don't like what the

344
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>president's doing, I'm going to file a lawsuit. Okay, Well

345
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the president doesn't like what the newspaper's doing. He's going

346
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 2>to file a lawsuit, and everyone should just knock it off.

347
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.640
<v Speaker 3>It would be nice if we weren't so litigious. I agree.

348
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.519
<v Speaker 2>It's just like just like knock it off. Like the

349
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 2>guy does this thing, and then you vote to vote

350
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.359
<v Speaker 2>him out if you don't like his thing, you know,

351
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and you start going to judges and then pretty soon

352
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>everyone's going to well this this. Uh, we're going to

353
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.160
<v Speaker 2>go to a New York jury where we can get

354
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 2>hit them to do what we want. What kind of

355
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:52.599
<v Speaker 2>justice is that if you're like, if we're shopping around

356
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.160
<v Speaker 2>your form shopping like that, it's wrong. And if everybody,

357
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>if the president sues everybody that says an things. Now

358
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:05.079
<v Speaker 2>he's talking about suing. I mean, I'm singing that's wrong too,

359
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 2>to sue everybody that all your enemies. He Now, he says,

360
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris paid Beyonce and paid Oprah Winfrey, and that

361
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.240
<v Speaker 2>is a violation of election laws. You know what you want,

362
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>just just drop it, you know. But he's also a troll.

363
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 2>He's the troll in chief, so he's trolling these people.

364
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.359
<v Speaker 2>And his trolling has has served him well because now

365
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 2>he's wildly popular among his base and his enemies are,

366
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, not doing great. So it's not my style.

367
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 2>But that's why I don't have the stomach for this.

368
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I just don't. I have a lot of lawyers in

369
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the in the entertainment industry that do a lot of

370
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>great things, and they're all famous, and I don't, Well,

371
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:52.119
<v Speaker 2>they're not my friends. I don't have friends like that.

372
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:54.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, they're all in the papers. You see

373
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 2>these famous entertainment lawyers. They're just really filing these big

374
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 2>cases and repers, sending these powerful people.

375
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 3>You know who's not afraid you can't do it? Yeah,

376
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, who's not afraid to jump into the line

377
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 3>of fire like that south Park.

378
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Now, let's talk about that. That was south Park, that

379
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 2>was entertaining before we Okay, before we do the box office,

380
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about south Park. The well, actually, we're going

381
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 2>to talk about that when we talk about Cole Bear. Yeah,

382
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 2>let's yeah, that's wrapped up in co Bear in Paramount.

383
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.640
<v Speaker 2>We're going to do the whole Paramount thing because that's news.

384
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.880
<v Speaker 2>That's news right now, breaking news about Paramount and the

385
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 2>deal getting improved. Let's start with the box office for

386
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. We got two hours, Yeah, we got

387
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>time number one in the box office, Fantastic four First Steps.

388
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it, but it did one hundred and

389
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 2>eighteen million at the box office and number one.

390
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.039
<v Speaker 3>It's not bad. From what I'm hearing from all the nerds,

391
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 3>it's really good.

392
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great, Yeah, I haven't seen it.

393
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Same with Superman.

394
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Superman I have seen it's really good and the nerds

395
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.880
<v Speaker 2>like it. Yeah, but Superman has only done in three weeks.

396
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 2>It has done two hundred and eighty nine million, and

397
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic Four did one hundred and eighteen in its first week,

398
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:11.839
<v Speaker 2>so it has a chance to cat I don't think

399
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:17.720
<v Speaker 2>it's going to catch up, though. Jurassic World still Birth,

400
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, says Rebirth.

401
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:20.359
<v Speaker 3>I saw that one.

402
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was good, but I mean, you know,

403
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I haven't watched one since the since the first one. Yeah,

404
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>and I liked Scarlett Johansson. But you're you're less than

405
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>enthusiastic about it.

406
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 3>It was fine, fine, it was It was good. It's

407
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 3>a good movie to see in the theater, but it's

408
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily a good.

409
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Movie, thank you very much. I agree. Formula one the movie.

410
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:39.640

417

<v Speaker 2>world has a done other word for smurf? Really yes,

418

<v Speaker 2>it's done twenty three million for a horror movie that

428
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:40.599
<v Speaker 2>doesn't seem very good.

429
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I don't think anybody cares what they did

430
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 3>last time.

451
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.960
<v Speaker 2>The COVID nineteen pandemic is in full force in a

452
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 2>fictional New Mexico town. You like it so far?

453
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 3>So far, it's a fictional story.

454
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:15.079
<v Speaker 2>They call it a neo Western black comedy. Ooh, it doves.

455
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:16.680
<v Speaker 3>In the darkest of comedies. Yes.

456
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 2>It delves into the political and social turmoil of time,

457
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 2>revolving around a bitter rivalry between a small town sheriff

458
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 2>played by Walking Phoenix. Masterful performance from Walking and the

459
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 2>incumbent mayor, Pedro Pascal. Pretty good performance so far.

460
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 3>This is the plot to Blazing Saddles, but go on

461
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.920
<v Speaker 3>a little bit over issues like mask mandates and a

462
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 3>proposed data center they're going to put, you know, in

463
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.680
<v Speaker 3>this po dunk town and you know, either help everybody

464
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.359
<v Speaker 3>or ruin it.

465
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 2>The plot escalates into profound and disturbing turns, exploring themes

466
00:25:54.480 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>of contemporary American society, conspiracy theories, and violence. So yeah,

467
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 2>it just came out on July eighteenth, and you know,

468
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>they it's like a blend of political drama, action, social commentary, satire,

469
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.880
<v Speaker 2>showcasing Astor's distinctive style in a new context because his

470
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, midsommar and hereditary and nothing like this.

471
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm intrigued. Now, Yeah, you sold it very well.

472
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. It's just it's just like like if you're

473
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:28.599
<v Speaker 2>sick of superhero movies and horror movies, this is a

474
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.359
<v Speaker 2>great movie about a small town. Like one guy's running

475
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>for mayor and then the sheriff's decides, So I think

476
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna run for mayor, which is the plot of

477
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Burt Reynolds's White Lightning, where he plays the character Gator

478
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>McCluskey good And I think he's he's gonna run for

479
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 2>mayor or shaff for something anyways, And so that's a

480
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 2>movie where like he wins and then he looks in

481
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>the law books and finds out he can take the

482
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>old share, and well he can take the mayor. I

483
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:04.599
<v Speaker 2>think he becomes the mayor, and then he takes the

484
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 2>sheriff and moves his office into the men's room because

485
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>it says he can put the guy's office anywhere he wants.

486
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 3>That's funny.

487
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 2>So all right, there you have your recommendation, Eddington. I

488
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.759
<v Speaker 2>also saw another movie not as good. I didn't think

489
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:25.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe did you ever see the movie Sinners?

490
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 3>No, not yet. I've been meaning to see it. I've heard,

491
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I've heard good things.

492
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:35.279
<v Speaker 2>A successful movie, wildly successful, Southern Gothic. They're calling it

493
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Sam nineteen thirties Mississippi. It's two brothers. They go back

494
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 2>to their small town and open up a juke joint,

495
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>only to encounter that the vampires are I've taken over

496
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the town.

497
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like the plot to From Dusk Till Dawn.

498
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 2>This is from Dusk Till Dawn, but in nineteen thirty two,

499
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:04.400
<v Speaker 2>without Goddess selma Oh. One of the reviews on letterbox said,

500
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:10.000
<v Speaker 2>too long crappy idea, expensive execution, very good execution, like

501
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 2>beautiful special effects. And then this is I'm reading from

502
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 2>a review. Y'all call this original because your fancy asses

503
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.599
<v Speaker 2>didn't watch from Dusk till Dawn because it was a

504
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:23.480
<v Speaker 2>fun because it's a fun B movie.

505
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 3>See what I'm saying is that you like going to

506
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:31.480
<v Speaker 3>the letterbox reviews that are the one star reviews.

507
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I started at the half stars. I never get to

508
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the one stars. They're so good. Here's another one, extremely overhyped,

509
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.160
<v Speaker 2>insultingly bad Disney Channel esque slot for people who say

510
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:46.440
<v Speaker 2>they like rap and only listen to Kendrick Mustard. Ass movie.

511
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know there's another one. Storyline was rubbish scene

512
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>where Rick James just turns up out of nowhere is

513
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.680
<v Speaker 2>effing cringe. The film is general in general, was all

514
00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 2>over the place. Wasn't really sure what message it was

515
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.720
<v Speaker 2>trying to portray. Was it about racist clan members or

516
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 2>is it about we're dancing vampires? Bag of poop? And

517
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 2>then it doesn't end.

518
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 3>James coming out of nowhere sounds amazing.

519
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 2>And not to that guy. They sold it not to

520
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that guy. So the director is Ryan Coogler. He did

521
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Black Panther and Creed Michael B. Jordan's stars. Great directing,

522
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:23.319
<v Speaker 2>great acting, a great special effects, but what a stupid movie.

523
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Because number one is Dustill Dawn or a thousand vampires

524
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.519
<v Speaker 2>And when vampires come to your town, what happens? You

525
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>have to kill him and then if they bite you,

526
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>then you're one of them. I get it. Oh my gosh,

527
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.839
<v Speaker 2>I can't kill this person. It used to be my friend. Oh,

528
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.599
<v Speaker 2>but I have to because if I don't, this person

529
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 2>will kill me and everyone in the town. And it's like, wow,

530
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I've seen that before.

531
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 3>And every vampire movie out.

532
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm not interested. I'm not invested. And then

533
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:54.599
<v Speaker 2>it never ended, had like an extra half hour at

534
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>the end, like a like a bad Harry Potter movie. Stamp. Anyway,

535
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I thought it would be overhyped, and then when I

536
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:06.640
<v Speaker 2>saw it, it was over hyped. So I can't recommend Sinners.

537
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I can recommend Eddington. And let's take a break, check

538
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the traffic, and come back with more. Joe Scalante Live

539
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>from Hollywood. Joe's Galante Live from Hollywood. My Hollywood, You

540
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:23.799
<v Speaker 2>mean bar Bank? Hey, So yeah, we talked about Eddington.

541
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Recommended it Sinners. The as far as television goes, Sam,

542
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I've been watching a show called The hunter Wives on Netflix, Okay,

543
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:44.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's about it's a little bit silly. You know.

544
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.759
<v Speaker 2>It's funny when you see a TV show and you

545
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>know how it got made because someone walked into a

546
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood Guys executive office and says, okay, picture this. Britney Snow.

547
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:06.839
<v Speaker 2>She's a charming former pr person for Democratic candidates in

548
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the big city, but now her husband took a job

549
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:16.319
<v Speaker 2>in Texas. She shout fish out of water, trying to

550
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:20.279
<v Speaker 2>uh navigate her way through the social scene of big

551
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 2>money Texas people. And she's and all the Texas people

552
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 2>are Are they fine Americans? Patriots? Sam?

553
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:35.799
<v Speaker 3>They are Texans, you know, in this in this thing,

554
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.359
<v Speaker 3>they are hypocrites. They are big, big hat, big bult,

555
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.640
<v Speaker 3>big hair, big belt buckle wearing Texans.

556
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 2>In this thing, they're all hypocrites, and they're perverts, and

557
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:49.440
<v Speaker 2>they're crup they're crooked. So then in Hollywood, when you

558
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:51.839
<v Speaker 2>hear this pitch, do you go, oh, yeah, I love this.

559
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm putting it right on the air. So however, as

560
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, cartoonish as that is, and stereo typing Texans

561
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 2>is I guess allowed uh and make in a negative way.

562
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:13.559
<v Speaker 2>They're all stereotyped as negative. Ah. And the the Britney

563
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Snow character, she has weaknesses too. It's not like she's

564
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 2>an angel and there are devils. But you know it's

565
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:23.519
<v Speaker 2>everybody's it's it's everybody's got a secret in this town. Okay,

566
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I can't stop watching it.

567
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:31.319
<v Speaker 3>Is this your new guilty pleasure?

568
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 2>That's a very guilty pleasure. But people are mad about this.

569
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Speaker 2>This is the way Hollywood, you know, treats Americans. What's

570
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the name of the show again, The Hunter Wise starring

571
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Britney Snow. Okay, I mean people, you know, if if

572
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 2>you're a Texan and you turn this on to you go,

573
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>oh this is how we are, you know, you'd be offended.

574
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Nothing really offends me, so you know, I'm watching it.

575
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 2>But there is a new movement in Hollywood Sam to

576
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 2>combat this and that Hollywood has an evolving landscape, and

577
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be talking about that for the next several

578
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:16.200
<v Speaker 2>segments because it's affecting the business end of Hollywood as well.

579
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Conservative figures, Okay, conservatives aiming to dramatically shift the entertainment

580
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:30.640
<v Speaker 2>industry's traditionally liberal leanings have got a new production company

581
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:35.039
<v Speaker 2>together called Founders Films. Now, this happens all the time.

582
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 2>People go, hey, I got a rich guy start a

583
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.680
<v Speaker 2>production company. He's conservative, aren't There are more positive messages

584
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:43.519
<v Speaker 2>out there, you know, it's happened before. But this one

585
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 2>is sponsored or some of the investors are. Well, if

586
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.480
<v Speaker 2>it's Founders, I'm going to say it's Peter tel because

587
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Peter Teel has a company called the Founder's Fund. I

588
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:56.720
<v Speaker 2>think I think that's what his fund is. And he's

589
00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 2>a conservative and he's okay, you know, so he's like,

590
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not maybe he's he's uber socially liberal.

591
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:09.159
<v Speaker 3>Uber billionaire. Yeah, I think that overrides everything else.

592
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's as they say, gay from space.

593
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Satellite satellite.

594
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>So the Founders Films also linked to the Scilla Con

595
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Valley data giant Pallinteer. Are you familiar with them?

596
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Very familiar?

597
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.599
<v Speaker 2>People are afraid of them, Like that's if there was

598
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a movie about that. What could happen about with A

599
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and I? If AI with AI? If it went wrong,

600
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Pallentteer would be the death the death Star, right, yep? Okay, people,

601
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So they're launching, they're they're putting money into this, and

602
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.159
<v Speaker 2>they have a lot of money and they are seeking

603
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:51.920
<v Speaker 2>other investors for projects. The champion American exceptionalism and name

604
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.800
<v Speaker 2>American enemies. I like that part. Why can't we name

605
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>our enemies and films? And why can't we?

606
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.039
<v Speaker 3>That's a wonderful question. Why haven't we?

607
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Why they all just nebulous Eastern European cabal. That's that's

608
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 2>committing all the crimes.

609
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if it's a historical you know, like a

610
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.199
<v Speaker 3>film that has a history has it, you know, like

611
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 3>a time's If it's a time piece, it would be

612
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 3>something like you know like Indiana Jones and the Temple

613
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.519
<v Speaker 3>of Doom. Then you have a stated enemy.

614
00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Then not but that movie. Yeah, but any movie where

615
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.559
<v Speaker 2>the Nazis of the enemy is one thing. But what

616
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:25.320
<v Speaker 2>if the enemy is.

617
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's say Texans.

618
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, if they're I mean, you know, they keep

619
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>going back to the Nazis, And a lot of it

620
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 2>is because their uniforms were so badass, and so you know,

621
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.079
<v Speaker 2>you take the evil uh persona and the badass uniform

622
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and you got that's show business right there. That's how

623
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:49.360
<v Speaker 2>you make That's how you put butts in the seats.

624
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:54.199
<v Speaker 2>So naming American enemies. America's enemies, I guess right now

625
00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:56.239
<v Speaker 2>would be China, Like, let's make a movie about how

626
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:57.239
<v Speaker 2>evil China is.

627
00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:58.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

628
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Normally hollywoods like to do that because they want their

629
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.559
<v Speaker 2>movie distributed in China. But these people are gonna name

630
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:11.079
<v Speaker 2>their enemies, okay, so they want more patriotic narratives. Some

631
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 2>proposed films is in a new adaptation of Ain Rand's

632
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Atlast Shrugged. Have you read that book, Sam, Yeah?

633
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 3>And I can't imagine a more boring film to make.

634
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.519
<v Speaker 2>It's hard because the book is so long to make

635
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:27.360
<v Speaker 2>a good one. There was one made. I worked on

636
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 2>one that didn't get made with already had the rights

637
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.199
<v Speaker 2>to that. He got it right from ain Rand. He

638
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:36.800
<v Speaker 2>dazzled her and he got the rights, and then he

639
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.840
<v Speaker 2>died a couple of years ago. So now it's floating

640
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:41.039
<v Speaker 2>around and so I guess these guys are going to

641
00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:43.159
<v Speaker 2>get it, and then they want to add and ain

642
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Rand is Attlas Shrugged is about like, you know, big

643
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 2>giant business people saying what's wrong with being big giant

644
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:55.280
<v Speaker 2>business people? And the government and the regulations are the enemy.

645
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:58.840
<v Speaker 2>So that sounds like a conservative movie that I mean

646
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:03.079
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't have to be one movie, could be

647
00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:05.960
<v Speaker 2>part two, two part movie, or a six part series

648
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.280
<v Speaker 2>or a twelve part series. And then they want to

649
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.400
<v Speaker 2>make one about the nine to eleven World Trade Center evacuation.

650
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.159
<v Speaker 2>They want to make a spy series about China's global

651
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 2>power plans. Now I saw your eyes roll just now, Sam.

652
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.119
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm not so much eye rolling. I'm trying to

653
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:25.960
<v Speaker 3>see like you're visualizing. Yeah, I'm trying to picture that.

654
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 3>I think that. I mean, there's always a movie out

655
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.000
<v Speaker 3>there that set you know, like if you need to

656
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:35.199
<v Speaker 3>have an international spy film, there's always going to be

657
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 3>some kind of like middle of the road kind of

658
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:43.639
<v Speaker 3>looking character that you can say this person is now

659
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:46.000
<v Speaker 3>like he's taken over his own island.

660
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 2>And Eastern Eastern Europeans yea favorites.

661
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.559
<v Speaker 3>You usually Eastern Europeans or Latin Americans or Middle Easterners

662
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:54.960
<v Speaker 3>or whatever. And now it's like, okay, well let's actually

663
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.679
<v Speaker 3>call out countries. And it just accelerates a lot of

664
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:03.440
<v Speaker 3>notionalism that either way in film, it's like okay, if

665
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:06.480
<v Speaker 3>we're going to go hard left or hard right, either way,

666
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.039
<v Speaker 3>we're going to be alienating a lot of people.

667
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I don't know if you know about how

668
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the movies used to be in this in this country, Sam,

669
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.679
<v Speaker 2>They were very patriotic.

670
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 3>Long time ago.

671
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.880
<v Speaker 2>And this push is seen by some as a punch

672
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 2>in the face for woke Hollywood. It builds on growing

673
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:30.199
<v Speaker 2>conservative criticism that studios have become too politically progressive, impacting

674
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:34.920
<v Speaker 2>box office performance. For example, the mockumentary I Am Racist.

675
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember this one?

676
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember that one costs.

677
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Three million to make in it made twelve million at

678
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:44.599
<v Speaker 2>the box office, and it was about a guy just

679
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:50.480
<v Speaker 2>It was a documentary walking around exploring racism from a

680
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.519
<v Speaker 2>conservative point of view. And I remember that made a

681
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of money. But to me, I didn't go see

682
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.039
<v Speaker 2>it because it seemed like a homework or something like that.

683
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>The biopic Reagan did thirty million. I saw that. One's

684
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Christian cinema. We all know that's doing well. They make

685
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:06.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money on those. Donald Trump has sent

686
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Melt Gibson and Sylvester Stallone and John Voight to be

687
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 2>ambassadors of the government. So this is a new direction

688
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 2>for Hollywood. And then when we come back, we're going

689
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:22.599
<v Speaker 2>to talk about how this might be impacting the Paramount

690
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Sky Dance merger, and it might be connected to the

691
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Colbert firing. Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood, Joe Escalante

692
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood you mean Burbank. This

693
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:39.360
<v Speaker 2>is two hours of the business end of show business.

694
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.320
<v Speaker 2>We're an hour number two now, and we were talking

695
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 2>in the last hour about the movement in Hollywood that

696
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:56.920
<v Speaker 2>is going to try to make conservative content. And these

697
00:39:57.079 --> 00:39:59.400
<v Speaker 2>are people that are just sick of it. They're sick

698
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.639
<v Speaker 2>of it. Want to see any more woke culture in

699
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.559
<v Speaker 2>their movies, and they want to know what happened to

700
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:09.599
<v Speaker 2>a day when you know, movies were had it seemed

701
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.800
<v Speaker 2>like they all had a patriotic message and there was

702
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:21.280
<v Speaker 2>some good old fashioned censorship afoot. But people know, I

703
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 2>think people know that you can't make a movie that is,

704
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:29.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, too patriotic or jingoistic or nationalistic because the

705
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood executives don't like it. So and that's where the

706
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:32.639
<v Speaker 2>money is.

707
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, and well that's where the money in the United

708
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 3>States might be. But they're looking possibly at the foreign

709
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:39.360
<v Speaker 3>numbers also.

710
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so if you're but that's what they're all. They're

711
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 2>looking at the foreign numbers right now. The guy, the

712
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.599
<v Speaker 2>people that control Hollywood, they're looking at it. So someone's

713
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:50.719
<v Speaker 2>coming in now and according to this new trend that

714
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:55.760
<v Speaker 2>is being reported on. They're like, well, why do we

715
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>have to do that, because when you have to make

716
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.280
<v Speaker 2>a movie for China, you have to jump through these hoops.

717
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:03.559
<v Speaker 2>And why can't we make a movie that China hates?

718
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Why can't we make a movie that China bands.

719
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:08.119
<v Speaker 3>We've done that.

720
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:11.320
<v Speaker 2>It's a good old fashioned but we've done that. Okay,

721
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm not here. I mean, this is just this

722
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 2>is a This is a movement. Sam. If you if

723
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.639
<v Speaker 2>you want to rail against the movement, you can get

724
00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:24.079
<v Speaker 2>on your Twitter account and tell these people that we've

725
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:26.480
<v Speaker 2>already done it and to just you know, go back

726
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:28.400
<v Speaker 2>where they came from and not try to do this.

727
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:30.599
<v Speaker 2>You probably save them a lot of money because movies

728
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:33.119
<v Speaker 2>are very expensive and most people lose money when they're

729
00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:36.119
<v Speaker 2>making them. So anyway, this is what. This is a movement.

730
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:40.679
<v Speaker 2>And then people are emboldened now because of a few

731
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:42.920
<v Speaker 2>things that are going on. But let's kind of go.

732
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.800
<v Speaker 3>To the Maverick was banned in China unofficially because of

733
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:50.239
<v Speaker 3>Maverick wearing having a Taiwanese flag on him.

734
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:56.159
<v Speaker 2>What's the old TV the Top Gun movie? Oh, the

735
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Top Gun movie that was very successful one.

736
00:41:58.039 --> 00:41:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was a very good movie. There's a bunch

737
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:03.360
<v Speaker 3>of movies that we produce, movies that are pretty often

738
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.440
<v Speaker 3>banned by China for one reason or another. Yeah, I

739
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.400
<v Speaker 3>mean it's okay if we do that. Now, if that's

740
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:12.199
<v Speaker 3>what their goal is is to to call out enemies

741
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.440
<v Speaker 3>and do more patriotic stuff, then that's there's movies for

742
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.480
<v Speaker 3>people who are into those kind of movies.

743
00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but they they're going to make those. Yeah, so

744
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.199
<v Speaker 2>they will. You know, it's just a movement. It happens,

745
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and I think there right now. It happens all the time.

746
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's always this movement like we got to

747
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.320
<v Speaker 2>make more family friendly movies. Okay, But right now they're

748
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:36.320
<v Speaker 2>emboldened because a lot of people see that, well that

749
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:44.559
<v Speaker 2>you see the ratings of conservative projects News or whatever

750
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:50.760
<v Speaker 2>versus the establishment the lefty networks, and people are in bolded.

751
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:52.480
<v Speaker 2>They say, well, Fox is making a ton of money,

752
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:56.239
<v Speaker 2>CBS is losing their ass. Maybe now is the time,

753
00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:59.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe we can convince people to put their money into

754
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:03.800
<v Speaker 2>this project. Ours. I think about Fox News, though they

755
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:07.880
<v Speaker 2>get affiliate fees from all their cable that that CBS

756
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:12.440
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get. But CBS is is a problem. I mean

757
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.719
<v Speaker 2>they do have a problem because of this the nature

758
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:16.559
<v Speaker 2>of the business that they're in. They have got a

759
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:20.039
<v Speaker 2>bunch of cable channels and they have CBS, which we

760
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.360
<v Speaker 2>now know that they were spent. They were losing forty

761
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 2>million a year on the Colbert Show, and they don't

762
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:29.159
<v Speaker 2>want to do it anymore. A new guy is come

763
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:35.519
<v Speaker 2>to town, David Ellison, and he's buying CBS, and right

764
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:40.320
<v Speaker 2>after the he fires Cole Well he doesn't own it

765
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.639
<v Speaker 2>yet but now he does. But before you, before he

766
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:47.320
<v Speaker 2>owned it, Colbert was fired, so people think, like, did

767
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:49.079
<v Speaker 2>he was he trying to get rid of it? Did

768
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 2>he say you got to fire that guy. I don't

769
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:55.079
<v Speaker 2>want to lose forty million dollars on a talk show.

770
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what he's saying, what kind of political

771
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:02.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff he's saying. There's a lot of people that believe

772
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.159
<v Speaker 2>if Colbert, I'm not really one of them, if Colbert

773
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.119
<v Speaker 2>was middle of the road that the show would be profitable.

774
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I would say, you would lose some people and you

775
00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:16.360
<v Speaker 2>would gain some people. Ah, but there but there's no

776
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:20.199
<v Speaker 2>reason to lose money on a guy that is railing

777
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:25.519
<v Speaker 2>against half the country all night. I mean you you,

778
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:27.159
<v Speaker 2>there's no reason to lose money if he makes money,

779
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.800
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, let him do it. If he loses money,

780
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:31.159
<v Speaker 2>you got to yank.

781
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Him now across the board on all of the late

782
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.559
<v Speaker 3>night formats. How who is anybody making money?

783
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

784
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Is a gutfill well that I don't view that as

785
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:46.079
<v Speaker 3>late night format. That's the cable news network that has

786
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:50.199
<v Speaker 3>the already established highest rated like viewers of all of

787
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.440
<v Speaker 3>the cable news networks and everything like that. His established,

788
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:57.000
<v Speaker 3>His base was already established with or without him. It's

789
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:03.239
<v Speaker 3>it's are there any profitable like normal what we would

790
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:06.719
<v Speaker 3>call consider traditional non cable news networks that have a

791
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.760
<v Speaker 3>late night format that are profitable. Probably not, because that's

792
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.239
<v Speaker 3>the thing is that cable is gonna be way different

793
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.000
<v Speaker 3>of a thing because you can say more, do more,

794
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:20.119
<v Speaker 3>get away with a little bit more. But also it's

795
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:24.840
<v Speaker 3>when you already have the highest rated channel in the game,

796
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:29.199
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna have that already like there, and what a.

797
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Lot of that? Why isn't CBS the highest rated channel.

798
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:34.519
<v Speaker 2>It's free in every it's free in every home in America.

799
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.119
<v Speaker 3>It's because content wise, they're not putting out the hits

800
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:40.519
<v Speaker 3>that the audience wants to hear the same way that

801
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:43.559
<v Speaker 3>say Fox News does with their audience. They say the

802
00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:45.480
<v Speaker 3>things that the audience wants to hear, and people are

803
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 3>going to tune in to have their biases confirmed. That's

804
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:51.559
<v Speaker 3>how every like. That's what you think.

805
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:53.239
<v Speaker 2>You're missing the point. I think you're missing the point.

806
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:56.320
<v Speaker 2>You're missing the point. The point is that these people

807
00:45:56.760 --> 00:46:02.559
<v Speaker 2>on CBS and NBC and ABC are one dimensional. We

808
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:09.920
<v Speaker 2>hate the president and we are lefties. Okay, So why

809
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:13.119
<v Speaker 2>would you let Why would you lose money? Why would

810
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you lose money? Why would you lose money with somebody

811
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:19.159
<v Speaker 2>who's sitting there and he's not even addressing the whole country,

812
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.320
<v Speaker 2>he's only addressing half the country, and he's losing money,

813
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 2>so he's got to go.

814
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:26.079
<v Speaker 3>It's just the timing of it all comes off as

815
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:27.000
<v Speaker 3>a bit suspicious.

816
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.159
<v Speaker 2>It looks like it looks like a bribe. That's it

817
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.360
<v Speaker 2>looks like, and they want to investigate it, and they will.

818
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:34.559
<v Speaker 3>And we'll see what the outcome of it is. But

819
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.599
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, it leads also to the thing

820
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:41.719
<v Speaker 3>that we were alluding to earlier. South Park and their

821
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 3>part in all of this because Paramount Plus had a

822
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.280
<v Speaker 3>big deal go through with them and they came out

823
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:51.119
<v Speaker 3>with guns blazing against Trump.

824
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and they and they will come out guns blazing

825
00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.559
<v Speaker 2>against both sides. That's what they do. So that's another thing.

826
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:02.400
<v Speaker 2>If that shows lose money, it's a maybe it's a

827
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:05.480
<v Speaker 2>loss leader because it's you've got to have it otherwise

828
00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:06.519
<v Speaker 2>your enemies will have it.

829
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I think.

830
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.039
<v Speaker 2>But they're making money. I think they're profitable. Yeah, but

831
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, you know, it's not. It doesn't matter. If

832
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:15.039
<v Speaker 2>they're losing money, let them. It's a lost leader. And

833
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:19.000
<v Speaker 2>they're not alienating half the country. Sure they're there. So

834
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.920
<v Speaker 2>that's an example of how you can criticize the president

835
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:26.199
<v Speaker 2>and how you can even criticize your bosses if you

836
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:29.480
<v Speaker 2>do it well. Colbert didn't do it well and it

837
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:33.000
<v Speaker 2>was too it was it was boring and one dimensional. Uh,

838
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.599
<v Speaker 2>when compared to South Park. South Park is just you know,

839
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.679
<v Speaker 2>they show you how to do it and this is

840
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:43.880
<v Speaker 2>how it's and the people at CBS can't can't and

841
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the networks can't do it. They can't do it at

842
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Kimmel and they can't do it at Jimmy Fallon.

843
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:51.480
<v Speaker 2>So people think those those companies are next. Uh and

844
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:54.320
<v Speaker 2>if they're losing money, okay, so then you have like

845
00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:01.000
<v Speaker 2>this guy is is already they've already paid, Uh, already

846
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:04.000
<v Speaker 2>gone after sixty minutes. Sixty minutes had to pay because

847
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:12.280
<v Speaker 2>they were biased and the Colbert had to go. This

848
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:16.440
<v Speaker 2>new guy, David Ellison is hiring a conservatives to run

849
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:19.880
<v Speaker 2>the news division or middle of the road centrist people.

850
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.760
<v Speaker 2>So people are in Bold and they say, well, maybe

851
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:27.800
<v Speaker 2>it's going to change, and some people say that David

852
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Ellison will. What he's doing, really he's buying. He owns

853
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:38.679
<v Speaker 2>this company called sky Dance and they make like James

854
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Bond or Mission Impossible at one of those things. What's

855
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a big famous thing they make?

856
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:43.840
<v Speaker 3>They make movies British company.

857
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:46.400
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no. David Ellison is the guy whose dad

858
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:47.119
<v Speaker 2>owns Oracle.

859
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, gotcha.

860
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:51.199
<v Speaker 2>So his dad gave him some money and he did

861
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.280
<v Speaker 2>really well with it and he made hit movies and

862
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:55.599
<v Speaker 2>now he has enough money to buy CBS and Paramount.

863
00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:58.280
<v Speaker 2>All he wants is a studio, Paramount the studio. Now

864
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:00.079
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be Paramount the studio, the studio of

865
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the Godfather and other legendary films. Now he's gonna own that.

866
00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Now he's happy, but he owns all these other parts

867
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:08.880
<v Speaker 2>that kind of don't make money. So he's going to

868
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:12.199
<v Speaker 2>sell CBS. But to sell CBS, do you want it

869
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:17.400
<v Speaker 2>to be? Hey, this is this cool network for sale

870
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that gets sued by Trump for doing questionable electional election

871
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.599
<v Speaker 2>interference with Kamala Harrison an interview. And then they have

872
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:33.840
<v Speaker 2>this Colbert thing that loses forty million a year because

873
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:38.199
<v Speaker 2>they hate Donald Trump, And do you want to buy it?

874
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Or when you're selling it, would you like to buy

875
00:49:41.559 --> 00:49:44.840
<v Speaker 2>this cool network doesn't have Colbert has a slot there

876
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:46.960
<v Speaker 2>that you, the buyer, can do whatever you want with

877
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:50.639
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't Sixty minutes has been spanked and they're not

878
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:52.679
<v Speaker 2>going to do that anymore. And they and you might

879
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.199
<v Speaker 2>be able to create another Fox News, but a network

880
00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Fox News, and that might be Look what Fox News

881
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:02.719
<v Speaker 2>rakes in every year. Look at the billions you could

882
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:03.159
<v Speaker 2>have this.

883
00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:06.719
<v Speaker 3>It's not so instead of just going middle of the road,

884
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:07.599
<v Speaker 3>go hard right.

885
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I think people are too afraid to go hard right.

886
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:13.039
<v Speaker 2>But they're gonna go but they're at least gonna shake

887
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:18.000
<v Speaker 2>shake off the the twenty four a day railing against

888
00:50:18.039 --> 00:50:19.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty five ers, a day of railing against Donald Trump.

889
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Just forget about Donald Trump. Make content. Have a comedian

890
00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:24.960
<v Speaker 2>that comes up like Johnny Carson used to and tell

891
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:28.199
<v Speaker 2>jokes and interview stars, and then you might be able

892
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:31.840
<v Speaker 2>to sell that when and it's a easier sell than

893
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the old CBS.

894
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.719
<v Speaker 3>You're not going to replace Carson. You can't. There's nobody

895
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:37.599
<v Speaker 3>that's come close.

896
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but somebody who wants to own it is gonna

897
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:42.199
<v Speaker 2>try to give it a try and think they can

898
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:47.320
<v Speaker 2>do it. So that's that's what people are saying that

899
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:49.480
<v Speaker 2>that's what this guy's doing. And then he's gonna take

900
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:54.079
<v Speaker 2>the stations and sell them to people who want stations.

901
00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:56.079
<v Speaker 2>I think the stations and the network go together. You

902
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:59.039
<v Speaker 2>own all these stations around the country, people like Sinclair

903
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:02.440
<v Speaker 2>or companies that like to buy stations on a bunch station,

904
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:04.599
<v Speaker 2>you're going to sell those off. He's going to sell

905
00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:11.559
<v Speaker 2>off the cable channels, the MTV, VH one, country Music Television,

906
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:13.639
<v Speaker 2>all the ones that they own, They're going to sell

907
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.519
<v Speaker 2>those off. Time, maybe Discovery, that spin off that owns

908
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.519
<v Speaker 2>their cable channels. He's going to sell off all these parts,

909
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:21.760
<v Speaker 2>and then he's just gonna own a paaramount and he's

910
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:23.480
<v Speaker 2>to have a studio and he's gonna be happy he's

911
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and it's not gonna be that profitable for him, if

912
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:27.880
<v Speaker 2>at all, But he doesn't need any money because he's

913
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:29.880
<v Speaker 2>David Ellison and he has so many billions. He can

914
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:33.199
<v Speaker 2>never spend it all, but will have his network or

915
00:51:33.239 --> 00:51:35.519
<v Speaker 2>his his studio, which he wants. Let's take a break

916
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:37.239
<v Speaker 2>and check the traffic and we'll come back with more

917
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:43.199
<v Speaker 2>of this, you know, genius programming. Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood,

918
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the Business end of Hollywood Business, Show Business, every Sunday

919
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:52.360
<v Speaker 2>from five to seven right here on k EIB eleven

920
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:55.480
<v Speaker 2>fifty on your AM dial. We're talking about David Ellison

921
00:51:55.559 --> 00:52:02.119
<v Speaker 2>buying Paramount Skydance buying Paramount and kind of taking it

922
00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:05.280
<v Speaker 2>apart and selling it, which is what people think he's

923
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:10.960
<v Speaker 2>going to do, and he's and when he sells all

924
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:14.880
<v Speaker 2>that stuff, it still won't be You're not gonna get

925
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:18.119
<v Speaker 2>his money back for a long time. People usually don't

926
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:21.159
<v Speaker 2>get money back on projects like this until they sell

927
00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:25.400
<v Speaker 2>him again. Once he consolidates everything and has this Paramount thing,

928
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:34.920
<v Speaker 2>it comes up with a couple hits. Then you got

929
00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:38.280
<v Speaker 2>something you got to going concern. He's going to expand

930
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:42.159
<v Speaker 2>the CBS Paramount Studios. Right now, Paramount has that big

931
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:47.360
<v Speaker 2>lot on Melrose and he wants that and he believes

932
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:50.119
<v Speaker 2>that's a business. And then he's going to expand the

933
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:54.519
<v Speaker 2>CBS lot, the CBS lot on Radford and Ventura out

934
00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:57.039
<v Speaker 2>in the valley. That's a piece of history too. I

935
00:52:57.079 --> 00:53:00.320
<v Speaker 2>mean you go down there, there's like Twilight Zone stuff

936
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:10.039
<v Speaker 2>still there and leave it to beaver House. And this

937
00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:12.360
<v Speaker 2>is what he wants. Yeah, and he wants it, he

938
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:13.000
<v Speaker 2>shall take it.

939
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:16.719
<v Speaker 3>So he basically wants to take over Paramount entirely, and

940
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:18.239
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the parts that he got in the

941
00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:21.199
<v Speaker 3>deal he gets to disassemble and sell for whatever scrap

942
00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:22.800
<v Speaker 3>that he feels like he can get.

943
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, and he makes you know, sky Dunce they make,

944
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:34.039
<v Speaker 2>they make TV shows, they make big budget movies. Yeah,

945
00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:36.159
<v Speaker 2>this guy's this guy's made a ton of money.

946
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:37.800
<v Speaker 3>You want to know something I found out a very

947
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.800
<v Speaker 3>mission impossible Yeah, no, I found out a very interesting

948
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:44.079
<v Speaker 3>top Gun. I see, that's the thing that I'm talking about.

949
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Top Gun three D banned in China. All the all

950
00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:50.920
<v Speaker 3>of those movies here's a fun fact. Every Brad Pitt

951
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.880
<v Speaker 3>movie is banned in China, every single one of them,

952
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:57.159
<v Speaker 3>because because he did the movie seven years in Tibet.

953
00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, he's banned.

954
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they don't want him there. He's from Entry, and

955
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:02.079
<v Speaker 3>none of his movies are coming here.

956
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Very few movies get approved over there in China anymore.

957
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:10.679
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so this is what the guy's gonna do.

958
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.599
<v Speaker 2>But also he looks like a guy who doesn't have

959
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a lefty agenda because mission impossible. You know, that's pure action.

960
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Top gun is patriotism. So and he's made so much

961
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:24.960
<v Speaker 2>money on that top gun.

962
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

963
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:37.280
<v Speaker 2>So that brings us to the Colbet firing. Got a

964
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 2>little bit more to say on the Colbert firing. The

965
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Colbear firing. Okay, he loses forty million years, so okay,

966
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:52.079
<v Speaker 2>he's got to go. Is it a bribe? I mean

967
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.360
<v Speaker 2>it's like, did did Donald Trump say get rid of

968
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.360
<v Speaker 2>this guy and I will approve this merger? Or did

969
00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.960
<v Speaker 2>David Ellison say get rid of this guy? Because I'm

970
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:03.079
<v Speaker 2>not going to have him losing money in my uh

971
00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:06.440
<v Speaker 2>my studio. I'm I'm not.

972
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Gonna do a little look a little of column A

973
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:10.559
<v Speaker 3>and a little columnbe.

974
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know, David, I mean, Donald Trump is

975
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:14.880
<v Speaker 2>just like going He's he's out for revenge right now, Oh,

976
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:16.519
<v Speaker 2>he seems to be. He's like, I'm going to punish

977
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:18.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody who tried to put me in jail. And let's

978
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:21.039
<v Speaker 2>be honest, they tried to put him in jail. They

979
00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:25.800
<v Speaker 2>indicted a president. Never happened before, and so he's mad.

980
00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:29.280
<v Speaker 2>And they went through his wife's underwear drawer. So if

981
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:32.199
<v Speaker 2>someone goes through my wife's underwear drawer, I'm gonna get

982
00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.599
<v Speaker 2>mad and I'm coming after him. But is it so?

983
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Is it politically motivated? It might be, but you know,

984
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:42.760
<v Speaker 2>everybody's attacking everybody, and everybody's suing everybody, So what are

985
00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:47.199
<v Speaker 2>you gonna do? So I think we're done with Colbert,

986
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:50.559
<v Speaker 2>just like he's gone and there's people marching around going

987
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:53.519
<v Speaker 2>save Colbert and all that stuff. He'll land somewhere and

988
00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:55.199
<v Speaker 2>this is the kind of thing that happened usually happen

989
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:57.199
<v Speaker 2>to these people. I think he makes fifteen million a year.

990
00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:59.559
<v Speaker 2>He could get on a podcast deal and make forty

991
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:02.239
<v Speaker 2>million year. He could just can compete with Rogan, compete

992
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:04.360
<v Speaker 2>with Rogan and make a hundred million a year. Yeah, so,

993
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:06.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, good for him. He doesn't care.

994
00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Literally, the same thing happened to Tucker Carlson after.

995
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:12.119
<v Speaker 2>The whole debacle was fired.

996
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they let him go.

997
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Now he owns his own empire.

998
00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:17.280
<v Speaker 3>And everybody was saying it was in the name of

999
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:20.119
<v Speaker 3>the lawsuit that was carried out back then though, with

1000
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:23.679
<v Speaker 3>a seven hundred million dollar laws suit with the voting

1001
00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:26.840
<v Speaker 3>booth people. That's the thing is that this is the

1002
00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:29.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of stuff that tends to happen. Whenever you see

1003
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.760
<v Speaker 3>business deals trying to go through or big money being

1004
00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:35.880
<v Speaker 3>lost or moved around. A lot of times the people

1005
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:38.440
<v Speaker 3>who are on board, you're the people in charge, are

1006
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:40.840
<v Speaker 3>going to be saying, for this deal to go through,

1007
00:56:41.480 --> 00:56:43.840
<v Speaker 3>this is the thing that needs to happen. We don't

1008
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:47.039
<v Speaker 3>like that person or that person. That show might be

1009
00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:50.119
<v Speaker 3>burning forty million dollars and it's not getting anything in return.

1010
00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:54.079
<v Speaker 3>And Colbert quite frankly, could do better in a different

1011
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:54.960
<v Speaker 3>in a different format.

1012
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:59.239
<v Speaker 2>He goes into niche programming and that's that's he'll make money,

1013
00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:00.599
<v Speaker 2>but he'll be trapped. He'll be trying.

1014
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:02.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm not worried about the money. He's gonna make it.

1015
00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Whatever money he makes he's gonna be fine. It's the

1016
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:06.159
<v Speaker 3>audience and the impact. I think he's he could have

1017
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:10.079
<v Speaker 3>a bigger audience impact doing his own show on on

1018
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:13.760
<v Speaker 3>a YouTube ish format or whatever anything like that. That's

1019
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:14.599
<v Speaker 3>it's just hard.

1020
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:16.760
<v Speaker 2>He could end up on serious like Howard Stern and

1021
00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:18.480
<v Speaker 2>no one would ever talk about him ever again.

1022
00:57:18.679 --> 00:57:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's the thing. It's you saw how a

1023
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.039
<v Speaker 3>good model of that is the is what happened with

1024
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Tucker Carlson because he had the biggest show on the

1025
00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:31.800
<v Speaker 3>biggest channel and then that that format got pulled and

1026
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:35.280
<v Speaker 3>he rebuilt it himself on a completely different format. And

1027
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:36.159
<v Speaker 3>he's doing pretty good.

1028
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he seems to be doing great, and he's he's

1029
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:42.400
<v Speaker 2>actually part of the national conversation and he's changing people's

1030
00:57:43.280 --> 00:57:49.800
<v Speaker 2>views on important political you know, things like whether it's

1031
00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Jeff three Epstein or Israel versus the Palestinians. He's really

1032
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:02.599
<v Speaker 2>I've noticed. I'm like, why, oh, guy's blowing my mind here.

1033
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I never thought of this, you know, like, uh, blowing

1034
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:11.400
<v Speaker 2>my mind. Yeah. So, and he's selling prep food, Prepper

1035
00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:14.119
<v Speaker 2>food make a lot of money selling prepper food and

1036
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:15.559
<v Speaker 2>gun saves.

00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:19.320
<v Speaker 3>It's either like gun saves, prepper food, vitamins whatever.

00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Man, if people are gonna get their own smokeless tobacco,

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I don't do that either. So I don't

1043
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:43.599
<v Speaker 2>have any vices. I only have one vice. It's I

1044
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:48.159
<v Speaker 2>am just too good at radio. So uh, I tend

1045
00:58:48.159 --> 00:58:51.559
<v Speaker 2>to you know, it just blows my head kai sky high.

1046
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:52.519
<v Speaker 3>That's about it.

1047
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I got a couple of stories. We're not gonna

1048
00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:57.039

1049
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:00.159
<v Speaker 2>to you right now. Cardi B in a little bit

1050
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:03.239
<v Speaker 2>of trouble, and if you go to YouTube and look

1051

<v Speaker 2>up Cardi b microphone, you'll see the video that we're

1052
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:11.039
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about in the next segment. And Jimmie

1053
00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Lee Curtis is opening up about agism in Hollywood and

1054
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:16.840
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of interesting thing to say, interesting things to

1055
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:21.199
<v Speaker 2>say because her father was Tony Curtis and her mother

1056
00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:25.679
<v Speaker 2>was Vivian Lee or some starlet. Okay, let's take a break,

1057
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:33.639
<v Speaker 2>come back, Joe's Goolante live from Hollywood, all right, So

1058
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Lee Curtis, Yeah, the daughter. I didn't really contemplated this,

1059
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Lee. And I

1060
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:47.519
<v Speaker 2>said vivianly before, because what do I know? But Janet

1061
00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Lee from Psycho, she's the woman in the shower. Yeah,

1062
00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:51.840
<v Speaker 2>from Psycho.

1063
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Vivian Lee wasn't gone with the Wind?

1064
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Orson Wells's Touch of Evil, which is a great movie.

1065
00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And then Tony.

1066
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Kurr This of course is Tony Curtis.

1067
01:00:02.320 --> 01:00:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Some like it hot and things like that, but she

1068
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:10.519
<v Speaker 2>uh agism, this is what it is. One point I

1069
01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:13.199
<v Speaker 2>try to hammer in this show I've been doing for

1070
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:16.039
<v Speaker 2>so many years about Hollywood is that you can have

1071
01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood dreams. But if you're having Hollywood dreams as like

1072
01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:21.559
<v Speaker 2>an actor or someone in front of the camera, I

1073
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:25.199
<v Speaker 2>just think it's too many of them die alone, not

1074
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:29.840
<v Speaker 2>surrounded by their friends, because and your whole life is

1075
01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:33.519
<v Speaker 2>chasing this beauty. And every time you leave your house,

1076
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>your everybody who sees you says, oh God, looks like crap,

1077
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:41.800
<v Speaker 2>and you and and then so you're fighting you're fighting

1078
01:00:41.840 --> 01:00:44.679
<v Speaker 2>that and mentally I don't think I could I could

1079
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>take it. You know, every time you leave, people see

1080
01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>you in the grocery store to go, oh, I saw

1081
01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:51.239
<v Speaker 2>sam Zia and you should see what he looks like

1082
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>in person. He's just hideous.

1083
01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>And he's fat, radio faced.

1084
01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>So you so you get more plastic surgery because you

1085
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>think that you've got to combat that, and you justify

1086
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and say, well, nobody knows what I go through. I

1087
01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>have to go outside and people look at me and

1088
01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:16.320
<v Speaker 2>they just look at say ooh, look what he looks like.

1089
01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Look what she looks like. So I need to fix

1090
01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>my face. And then you ruin your face, and then

1091
01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>you you don't have real friends, so you you die

1092
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:30.639
<v Speaker 2>alone in some rest home for for Starlits not in

1093
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>every case, but in so Jamie Lee Curtis was talking

1094
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:40.320
<v Speaker 2>about agism and she was like, you know, she's going

1095
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.360
<v Speaker 2>gangbusters right now, but she's she's been prepping to get

1096
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:47.800
<v Speaker 2>out and to retire of the industry because she witnessed

1097
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:51.719
<v Speaker 2>her parents, Genetly and Tony Curtis, being rejected by the

1098
01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>industry as they age. I mean, she described watching their

1099
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:59.719
<v Speaker 2>incredible success slowly erode to the point where it was

1100
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>on yeah, which she found very painful. So her goal

1101
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:09.679
<v Speaker 2>is to leave the party before she's no longer invited.

1102
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, she had a roadmap from her parents, like they

1103
01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:16.079
<v Speaker 3>handed her roadmap on how to gracefully walk away and

1104
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:20.519
<v Speaker 3>not like not watch all of your emotions get shredded

1105
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>as your relevance goes.

1106
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>She's gotta, she's gotta, she's got a chance. Okay, now

1107
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>let's go to someone who I probably will not learn

1108
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:34.679
<v Speaker 2>any of these lessons is Cardi B. Cardi B is

1109
01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>delightful and entertaining, but she's dumb as a bucket of hair.

1110
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>She was on stage and I guess at some point

1111
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:53.119
<v Speaker 2>in the show, she's doing this like daytime show at

1112
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Drey's Beach Club like Las Vegas, and she's singing on

1113
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:02.719
<v Speaker 2>stage and people are like, you know, there's no real barricade, really,

1114
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.920
<v Speaker 2>they're just kind of all around her, and I guess

1115
01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>she said, hey, I'm really hot, you know, sprinkle me

1116
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:10.519
<v Speaker 2>with water or someone throws some water up here or something.

1117
01:03:11.039 --> 01:03:17.679
<v Speaker 2>So someone that's the according to the report, somebody like

1118
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>splashed her with water from a cup and it was

1119
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>a really good shot, Like she came right down to

1120
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the stage and someone just you know, went you just

1121
01:03:27.159 --> 01:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>got her with the water right in her face, and

1122
01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:32.239
<v Speaker 2>she looked at it and like, how dare you and

1123
01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>just just tossed, didn't toss just through with intent to

1124
01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>injure her microphone at the person.

1125
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:44.039
<v Speaker 3>She intended to injure her microphone or the person the

1126
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:46.159
<v Speaker 3>person Okay, yes, you need to make that clear.

1127
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, she threw the microphone right at the person who

1128
01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:56.239
<v Speaker 2>is named Jane Doe. In the civil suit, she says

1129
01:03:56.280 --> 01:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>she was intentionally struck during the performance. And this is

1130
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>July of twenty twenty three, so I guess it took

1131
01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:06.559
<v Speaker 2>some time to think about what to do and find

1132
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>the right lawyer. And it was sudden and forceful. The

1133
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>microphone directly hit her, causing physic physical injury, according to

1134
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the complaint. The lawsuit also claims Cardib's action was excessive

1135
01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>and disproportionate to the water being tossed on her, and

1136
01:04:22.559 --> 01:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>it caused public humiliation. It went viral. The microphone was

1137
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.599
<v Speaker 2>later sold sam for ninety nine thousand dollars at an

1138
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>auction by who Auctioneers.

1139
01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Was it her that put it up or sale like

1140
01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:37.840
<v Speaker 3>it had her? Did she pick it up?

1141
01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't have this info. Okay, So someone might have

1142
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>grabbed it, you know, and not given it back. But

1143
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the guys that you know, the security were coming out,

1144
01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>and I mean usually you can get something like that

1145
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>out of the audience, people say, hey, give me the mic.

1146
01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>But someone got ahold of it and sold it one.

1147
01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:57.239
<v Speaker 3>Hundred thousand bucks. Who would want to buy a mic

1148
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:01.199
<v Speaker 3>a broken microphone for one hundred thousand box. I mean

1149
01:05:01.239 --> 01:05:02.960
<v Speaker 3>they got they won't have money to toss around. I know,

1150
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:03.800
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing.

1151
01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:05.599
<v Speaker 2>It's it's for someone who has everything.

1152
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess you know.

1153
01:05:07.920 --> 01:05:11.119
<v Speaker 2>So, Uh, what do you think is gonna happen to her?

1154
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:12.519
<v Speaker 3>It's a good question.

1155
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh, that person's going to get a settlement. Yeah, probably

1156
01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>won't go to trial because she's gonna get really mad

1157
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. And then when then when she

1158
01:05:23.239 --> 01:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>finds out what she has to do to go to trial,

1159
01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:27.599
<v Speaker 2>and then they're gonna depose her and they're gonna ask

1160
01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:29.679
<v Speaker 2>all these personal questions, what did you have that day?

1161
01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you drink that day? Did you you know? Do

1162
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>you ever drink? Do you ever take drugs? Isn't it?

1163
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:41.719
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, any trouble that she's had the

1164
01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>law in the past is gonna be resurrected, and pretty

1165
01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>sure she's gonna go how much is this you know?

1166
01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:46.840
<v Speaker 2>What want?

1167
01:05:47.480 --> 01:05:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? No, writer a check.

1168
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Just cut it and run, man, and no one's gonna

1169
01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>falter for that. But so stupid you just take a

1170
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>microphone and just throw it at someone's face when when

1171
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:02.599
<v Speaker 2>you're when there's cameras everywhere.

1172
01:06:03.039 --> 01:06:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, and Cardi B from her side, she's saying

1173
01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:08.599
<v Speaker 3>that the lawsuit is a shakedown attempt.

1174
01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course it is. But how do you Here's how

1175
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:14.079
<v Speaker 2>you perform you This is how you avoid shakedown attempts.

1176
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Don't don't Joe Montana microphones at fans.

1177
01:06:19.360 --> 01:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I'll tell you something about insurance in the

1178
01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>in the music world. Is you can buy insurance for

1179
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:29.519
<v Speaker 2>things thrown from the stage. Oh and my band has that,

1180
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:33.280
<v Speaker 2>really insurance for stuff thrown from the stage. Just things

1181
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:37.239
<v Speaker 2>get thrown from the stage. Does that include people, drumsticks, people, anything?

1182
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh cool?

1183
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:40.880
<v Speaker 2>And it happens all the time and people get injured.

1184
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>So you you pay to be protected from that. Smart

1185
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>And speaking of rock and roll, it is interesting, Uh,

1186
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>like a few years ago at Coachella there was like

1187
01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:58.079
<v Speaker 2>not one guitar when people are saying and now rock

1188
01:06:58.119 --> 01:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>and roll is making a comeback.

1189
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:02.679
<v Speaker 3>This is.

1190
01:07:04.199 --> 01:07:09.039
<v Speaker 2>A decade after Gene Simmons of Kiss declared rock murdered Murdered.

1191
01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:14.320
<v Speaker 2>It is becoming the fastest growing genre in the US.

1192
01:07:14.360 --> 01:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>The resurgence is fueled by both exciting new artists and

1193
01:07:19.400 --> 01:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the unexpected virility virality of legacy acts on platforms like

1194
01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>TikTok leading the charger bands like Sweden's Ghost and Britain's

1195
01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Sleep Token, both of whom topped the Billboard two hundred

1196
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:38.119
<v Speaker 2>album chart in May. Sleep Tokens album Even in Arcadia,

1197
01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>broke records for most streaming hard rock album in a

1198
01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>single week. On the indie side, wet Leg Familiar with

1199
01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:48.039
<v Speaker 2>What I Think You Would Like. Wet Leg is also

1200
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:53.320
<v Speaker 2>making waves with their latest album, Moisturizer, hitting number one

1201
01:07:53.400 --> 01:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>in the UK.

1202
01:07:55.960 --> 01:08:00.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, wet Leg, Moisturizer, that's the.

1203
01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And what Leg is like a these girls and they're

1204
01:08:05.039 --> 01:08:08.079
<v Speaker 2>just you know, provocative and uh, you know, kind of

1205
01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>hunting melodies and if you see them in the tiny desk.

1206
01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:14.039
<v Speaker 3>Their next album is going to be Hydrader.

1207
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's not just new bands either, sam older rock

1208
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:21.239
<v Speaker 2>acts are finding a new life. Creed's hits are surprisingly

1209
01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:24.640
<v Speaker 2>popular on TikTok. The bands like System of Down in

1210
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Deaf Tones are are very you know, are filling arenas.

1211
01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Now my Chemical Romance is playing tonight or yes tonight

1212
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>last night at Dodger Stadium, my Chemical Romance. Put your

1213
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>wrap your head around that, like warp to her, No thanks,

1214
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>We're headlining Dodger Stadium for two nights.

1215
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:49.640
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of crazy. Consider it really shows the impact

1216
01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:55.000
<v Speaker 3>of these newer forms, of these new formats like TikTok.

1217
01:08:56.039 --> 01:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think anybody could predict when TikTok became start

1218
01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:02.119
<v Speaker 3>to really come into its own, the impact that I

1219
01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:05.079
<v Speaker 3>would have on the music industry, and not just like

1220
01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:08.800
<v Speaker 3>new artists putting out music, but also old artists and

1221
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:14.119
<v Speaker 3>keeping older songs alive. Yeah. Really, it shows just how

1222
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:19.520
<v Speaker 3>quickly evolving show business, media, film, music, all of it

1223
01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:20.520
<v Speaker 3>is at this point.

1224
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and then rock music, which people thought was dead,

1225
01:09:24.399 --> 01:09:25.880
<v Speaker 2>is now like kids are just saying, hey, look at

1226
01:09:25.880 --> 01:09:29.159
<v Speaker 2>these guitars and bands were like, like, what is a band?

1227
01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:33.239
<v Speaker 2>I remember like five ten years ago, my friend's kids

1228
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:36.640
<v Speaker 2>were like, why what is a band? Why would someone

1229
01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:39.199
<v Speaker 2>have a band. Why don't you just go on YouTube

1230
01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:42.439
<v Speaker 2>and be Justin Bieber or make something and something? And

1231
01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>then all the music they like is somebody featuring somebody. Yeah,

1232
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>this is this other person featuring this other person. There's

1233
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>no bands, but now the bands are. The bands are back,

1234
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:56.159
<v Speaker 2>and there's many guitars at Coachella.

1235
01:09:56.199 --> 01:09:59.439
<v Speaker 3>Now that's a I'm grateful for that.

1236
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:01.239
<v Speaker 2>You think you think you're grateful.

1237
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:06.000
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate run, but Sam, I appreciate live music, and

1238
01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:10.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad that it's still you know, filling huge venues

1239
01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>and not just like spots like the Baked Potato you

1240
01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:17.239
<v Speaker 3>know what and which, And I'm not knocking the baked potato.

1241
01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:19.920
<v Speaker 3>It's an amazing spot and the potatoes are amazing.

1242
01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Baked potatoes legendary. Yeah, but you know where people are

1243
01:10:24.640 --> 01:10:28.039
<v Speaker 2>not going, according to all these stories, Las Vegas.

1244
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:29.399
<v Speaker 3>I've been seeing that.

1245
01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's all there's a campaign. It's like it's

1246
01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:36.359
<v Speaker 2>in the zeitgeist. Las Vegas is too expensive and they

1247
01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:39.199
<v Speaker 2>just kind of disrespect the customer and like, you know,

1248
01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:42.319
<v Speaker 2>thirty twenty three dollars bottles of water at certain hotels.

1249
01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I remember when I first turned twenty one, the tables

1250
01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:48.359
<v Speaker 3>for blackjack, we're ten dollars tables and you can find

1251
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:50.319
<v Speaker 3>five dollar tables. Now it's you know, you at the

1252
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:53.600
<v Speaker 3>minimum twenty five and you're not going to find anything lower.

1253
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so the people are people have had enough, which

1254
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>is not great for me because I've got Sublime and

1255
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Pennywise and the Vandals playing and a Sublime takeover of

1268
01:11:53.479 --> 01:11:58.520
<v Speaker 2>be insulted by twenty three dollar bottles of water because

1269
01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.119
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna give away all kinds of fun stuff for free.

1270
01:12:02.600 --> 01:12:05.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's take a break and come back with

1271
01:12:05.199 --> 01:12:08.880
<v Speaker 2>our final segment on Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood.

1272
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:32.479
<v Speaker 4>Joe Ascalante, here's my lawyer.

1273
01:12:33.960 --> 01:12:37.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's try to get through the multitude of

1274
01:12:37.399 --> 01:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>stories I have, Sam, And the little time that we

1275
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:45.800
<v Speaker 2>have we got is when we're talking about earlier the

1276
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:51.199
<v Speaker 2>how the media is evolving. E News is calling it quits.

1277
01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>H E News was something that was on every night

1278
01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>at eleven on the E Channel, and and they just like,

1279
01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:05.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, want nobody wants to watch the news at eleven.

1280
01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>People want to just keep checking their phones all day. Yeah,

1281
01:13:11.159 --> 01:13:15.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody's making an appointment time to watch entertainment news.

1282
01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I get the feeling that's what we're slowly going to

1283
01:13:18.920 --> 01:13:22.000
<v Speaker 3>start seeing with network and TV news just in general,

1284
01:13:22.039 --> 01:13:25.800
<v Speaker 3>because everybody's getting informed on their phones faster, and the

1285
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:30.560
<v Speaker 3>people who rely on traditional news sources, like you know,

1286
01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:34.680
<v Speaker 3>the networks and Fox News, we're getting old.

1287
01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Well. I think that's why Fox News does so well,

1288
01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:41.279
<v Speaker 2>because there's their audience can't operate these these apps, and

1289
01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>they have personalities that people like people like Greg Gutfield,

1290
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:49.000
<v Speaker 2>they like Jesse Waters, and they want to see what

1291
01:13:49.159 --> 01:13:51.560
<v Speaker 2>they have to say, and they have their machines maybe

1292
01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:54.399
<v Speaker 2>recorded every day or they're right there at the appointed time.

1293
01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Those are different people. They're going to die. I hate

1294
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to tell you. Hey, I'll tell you a joke. There's

1295
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>a pre preacher and he's at this church and he says,

1296
01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's giving a like a sermon on mortality.

1297
01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:15.119
<v Speaker 2>And he says, I hate to break it to you, everybody,

1298
01:14:15.800 --> 01:14:18.720
<v Speaker 2>but everybody in this parish is gonna die someday. Some

1299
01:14:18.840 --> 01:14:21.640
<v Speaker 2>guy starts laughing because it's you, sir. I think that's funny.

1300
01:14:22.159 --> 01:14:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Why do you think that's funny? He goes, I'm not

1301
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>from this parish.

1302
01:14:29.119 --> 01:14:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's a good one. Damn that was not bad.

1303
01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So uh no more you news.

1304
01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean I can see shows like that slowly

1305
01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:43.239
<v Speaker 3>going by the wayside, or you know, finding if if

1306
01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:45.840
<v Speaker 3>you can't find a way to adjust to the new

1307
01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:49.680
<v Speaker 3>formats and the new way people consume media, then you're

1308
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:52.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna find yourself having to wave goodbye to your format.

1309
01:14:52.960 --> 01:14:55.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we we might be seeing the beginning of

1310
01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:58.960
<v Speaker 3>a trend with Colbert and the late night format because

1311
01:14:59.680 --> 01:15:02.640
<v Speaker 3>few and fewer people are going to be turning to

1312
01:15:02.920 --> 01:15:08.199
<v Speaker 3>live or normal network TV and make appointment viewing the

1313
01:15:08.279 --> 01:15:10.119
<v Speaker 3>way that they did when you can just have access

1314
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:12.479
<v Speaker 3>to it anytime you want on demand on your phone.

1315
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I got another one for you, A recent study by

1316
01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Authoritas Authorities indicates that Google AIS the Google's AI generated

1317
01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>search results summaries known as AI overviews. You've seen these way, yes,

1318
01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna go, I'm gonna look at a bunch

1319
01:15:28.039 --> 01:15:29.640
<v Speaker 2>of articles and then all of a sudden they just

1320
01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:33.000
<v Speaker 2>pop up this magic paragraph. You're like, that's enough, yeah,

1321
01:15:33.279 --> 01:15:37.439
<v Speaker 2>and you move on. This is causing a significant drop

1322
01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>in traffic for news websites. Some sites are seeing nearly

1323
01:15:41.800 --> 01:15:46.039
<v Speaker 2>an eighty percent decline in audience when their content appears

1324
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:50.079
<v Speaker 2>beneath an AI overview. The trend is raising serious concerns

1325
01:15:50.119 --> 01:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>with media companies who fear it's an existential threat to

1326
01:15:52.880 --> 01:15:54.880
<v Speaker 2>their business model, and I would you know, eighty percent

1327
01:15:55.039 --> 01:15:58.880
<v Speaker 2>is a tough hit to take. Study also highlighted that

1328
01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Google's own YouTube links were more prominently featured than standard

1329
01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:07.239
<v Speaker 2>search results. Finding included an a legal complaint in the UK.

1330
01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:14.720
<v Speaker 3>So uh yeah, so does that mean since we're you know?

1331
01:16:14.880 --> 01:16:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Rumor word has it that the president is looking to

1332
01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:20.239
<v Speaker 3>deregulate AI and what it can possibly do and the

1333
01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:23.640
<v Speaker 3>reach it could possibly have. What's stopping the big media

1334
01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:27.760
<v Speaker 3>companies from creating their own AI in order to compete

1335
01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:29.079
<v Speaker 3>with other AIS.

1336
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:32.159
<v Speaker 2>There's lots of AIS out there, oh, I.

1337
01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Know, and you start to have AI warfare, cyber AI warfare.

1338
01:16:37.079 --> 01:16:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's one that I saw one that that you know,

1339
01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>how when you punch into AI and it's like if

1340
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:46.079
<v Speaker 2>you AI, if you were like a racist and said, like,

1341
01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a racist and I want to see how many

1342
01:16:52.239 --> 01:16:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Cambodians committing crimes in my neighborhood, and then the AI

1343
01:16:56.159 --> 01:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>would go, you know, that's not nice. Let's not single

1344
01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:02.159
<v Speaker 2>out the Cambodise for crimes or whatever. It just wouldn't

1345
01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:04.199
<v Speaker 2>do it. Yeah, but there is one you can pay,

1346
01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:07.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a little more expensive and it'll do it. So yeah,

1347
01:17:07.720 --> 01:17:09.239
<v Speaker 2>there's all kinds of different ones for different things.

1348
01:17:10.920 --> 01:17:15.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's the thing you can have competing AI's program

1349
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:19.000
<v Speaker 3>to say different things. And that's why that's where the

1350
01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:22.239
<v Speaker 3>ultimate downfall of AI, you would think would be. But

1351
01:17:22.359 --> 01:17:25.680
<v Speaker 3>so many people are so into having their biases confirmed

1352
01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:28.760
<v Speaker 3>versus learning the actual facts or truth of doing the

1353
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:32.279
<v Speaker 3>research to actually learn it that you you would hope

1354
01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:35.239
<v Speaker 3>that like truth and like all that stuff would bubble

1355
01:17:35.319 --> 01:17:38.399
<v Speaker 3>up to the surface. But no, no, it's not gonna happen.

1356
01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:42.920
<v Speaker 2>It'll be interesting, Okay, we have any Disney I have

1375
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:37.279
<v Speaker 2>who the guy is, but he's very jolly. Okay, Disneyland

1376
01:18:37.600 --> 01:18:39.279
<v Speaker 2>read this is the public service announcement.

1377
01:18:39.359 --> 01:18:39.720
<v Speaker 3>This is real.

1378
01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:42.800
<v Speaker 2>This is a good information for our listeners. In Anaheim,

1379
01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Disneyland is rolling out an ultra discounty ticket exclusively for

1380
01:18:47.760 --> 01:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Anaheim residence. Okay, you live in Anaheim. As part of

1381
01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:55.760
<v Speaker 2>the seventieth anniversary celebration, you can get a one day,

1382
01:18:56.479 --> 01:19:00.399
<v Speaker 2>one park ticket for seventy dollars. Wow, all you need

1383
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:03.920
<v Speaker 2>is an Anaheim address, or just get a fake ID

1384
01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:05.319
<v Speaker 2>or something, you know, I don't know.

1385
01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:07.319
<v Speaker 3>You know what, that's not a bad idea. I should

1386
01:19:07.359 --> 01:19:09.359
<v Speaker 3>go get a fake ID that just says that I'm

1387
01:19:09.359 --> 01:19:12.479
<v Speaker 3>an Anaheim specifically for that it can be worth it. Well,

1388
01:19:12.520 --> 01:19:16.079
<v Speaker 3>it would totally be worth it, and still more expensive

1389
01:19:16.159 --> 01:19:17.119
<v Speaker 3>than Tokyo Japan.

1390
01:19:17.960 --> 01:19:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Toko Japan was like sixty five dollars sixty eight bucks. Yeah, grabsite. Yeah.

1391
01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, on the on the other hand, go to Japan,

1392
01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:28.640
<v Speaker 2>to go to Japan? Is the time to go to Japan? Yeah,

1393
01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:33.880
<v Speaker 2>before it gets before Trump fixes their economy somehow, to

1394
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:38.479
<v Speaker 2>go now while they're suffering. So yeah, so you know

1395
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the seventieth Anniversary, I just went to Disneyland all day

1396
01:19:40.800 --> 01:19:43.640
<v Speaker 2>long on Thursday. I had a guide and with some

1397
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:46.000
<v Speaker 2>friends and had a great time. But I noticed that

1398
01:19:46.079 --> 01:19:49.479
<v Speaker 2>the seventieth Anniversary, I don't see I didn't see any

1399
01:19:49.600 --> 01:19:52.560
<v Speaker 2>like magic cleaning up or fixing of things, and it

1400
01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:58.840
<v Speaker 2>seemed like a shortage of employees, some broken rides, broken piranhas.

1401
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:02.560
<v Speaker 2>So it just shows you. I don't think it's a

1402
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>fault of Disney because I believe in their ability to

1403
01:20:05.119 --> 01:20:07.399
<v Speaker 2>tackle these things. But they don't have enough people. Yeah,

1404
01:20:07.520 --> 01:20:11.159
<v Speaker 2>they don't have the manpower to do to make it

1405
01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a flawless experience like maybe it once was, or maybe

1406
01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm imagining it, but it just seemed like every time

1407
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I would see something all messed up, I go, whoa

1408
01:20:20.439 --> 01:20:26.039
<v Speaker 2>seventieth anniversary? But I had a great time. And if

1409
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you have a gazillion dollars, get yourself a guide and

1410
01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:32.600
<v Speaker 2>don't wait on any lines, and you will, even as

1411
01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:35.159
<v Speaker 2>a you know, as an adult jaded person who has

1412
01:20:35.239 --> 01:20:37.439
<v Speaker 2>a pass, can go anytime they want. I don't go

1413
01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:39.640
<v Speaker 2>on rides usually, but then on the day that I

1414
01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>have this guide, went on everything. Yeah, time, just a

1415
01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>great time. Then how to sat on a bench to

1416
01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:49.600
<v Speaker 2>watch the fireworks with like a private roped off area?

1417
01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh nice, It's a magical life that I'm living. Sam.

1418
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:55.640
<v Speaker 3>You know where my favorite place to watch the fireworks

1419
01:20:55.680 --> 01:20:58.000
<v Speaker 3>at Disneyland, It's at where they have Star.

1420
01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars' that's now the hot place.

1421
01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:05.159
<v Speaker 3>And I because it's reminiscent of the scene or from

1422
01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:07.520
<v Speaker 3>a Return of the Jedi at the very end when

1423
01:21:07.560 --> 01:21:09.359
<v Speaker 3>they're in the e Walk village and they have the

1424
01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:12.600
<v Speaker 3>fireworks and everything, and I swear on my phone, I

1425
01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:15.159
<v Speaker 3>put the music from that scene and I crank it

1426
01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:17.840
<v Speaker 3>up and people you can see nerds crying.

1427
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:20.319
<v Speaker 2>They start gathering around you. Oh yeah, look at you.

1428
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:25.560
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get late, okay. And the other thing on

1429
01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:28.920
<v Speaker 2>another amusement park. Note we have not Sperry Farm News.

1430
01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:31.319
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to get a theme for them later in

1431
01:21:31.399 --> 01:21:33.960
<v Speaker 2>knots Berry Farm News. At least twenty riders were left

1432
01:21:34.039 --> 01:21:37.319
<v Speaker 2>dangling sixty feet in the air after a ride malfunctioned

1433
01:21:37.319 --> 01:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>at Notts Spurry Farm in Buena Park and on Saturday.

1434
01:21:40.800 --> 01:21:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Video shared on social media showed the writers stranded in

1435
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:45.760
<v Speaker 2>mid air. According to the Notts Bery Farm, the ride

1436
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:48.399
<v Speaker 2>was stopped for approximately five minutes and all guests were

1437
01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:51.680
<v Speaker 2>able to exit safely after the issue was resolved and

1438
01:21:52.800 --> 01:21:57.039
<v Speaker 2>they reopened after a safety inspection that was a This

1439
01:21:57.159 --> 01:22:00.319
<v Speaker 2>isn't the first time Soul Spin ride has experienced shoes.

1440
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:03.600
<v Speaker 2>In November twenty two guests were stuck on the same

1441
01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:07.279
<v Speaker 2>ride for several hours before being evacuated. But I just

1442
01:22:07.319 --> 01:22:10.439
<v Speaker 2>give them a hard time, not spray farmers. Also, an

1443
01:22:10.600 --> 01:22:13.359
<v Speaker 2>annual pass is like you probably have whatever is in

1444
01:22:13.399 --> 01:22:16.920
<v Speaker 2>your pocket. It will get you an annual pass. That's it.

1445
01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Now leave you with a taste of the greatest song

1446
