00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>and all the box office news. Of course, as we

7
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>explore the business end of show business every Sunday right

8
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>here on k EIB eleven fifty on your AM dial.

9
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna skip the box office report a little bit,

10
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 2>and I want to talk a little bit about what's

11
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 2>going on right now with like the government cracking down

12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>on television, cracking down on the Copyright Office, the Librarian

13
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>of Congress gets fired, all this kind of stuff. What's

14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>going on, Well, let's start with the head of the

15
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Copyright Office. Her name is Shira pull Mutter. She's like

16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>a professor type, appointed prior to Trump's administration. And basically

17
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it is is just this woman doesn't mix

18
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>with President Trump, and he wants to get rid of

19
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people. So this one you got rid of.

20
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes you know, when you fire the person or

21
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>how they reacted, you go, oh wow, I think I

22
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>did the right thing there. I think this is a

23
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>case like that, because she fired he fired her, and

24
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>he said, well, I'm going to take you to court

25
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>that you cannot fire me and I have to work

26
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>for you. All right, come on, you maybe got an argument.

27
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's got an argument. So he didn't say why he

28
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>fired her. But what people are saying is that it

29
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>comes right after he fired the Librarian of Congress, someone

30
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>named Carla Hayden. So he fires this lady, this lady

31
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>appointed she ra a pull Mutter. Now, her argument for

32
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>suing him is saying, you can't fire me because my

33
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>position is under Congress, so Congress has to fire me.

34
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, well maybe, but the president appoints the Librarian

35
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>of Congress, and the Librarian of Congress hires the head

36
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 2>of the copyright department called the copyright Registrar. Now, so

37
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>if he can fire the person that hired her but

38
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>can't fire her, it's a little weird. And so I mean,

39
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>of course he can fire her, and he's going to

40
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>fire her, and then she's going to sue and waste

41
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of taxpayer money, and she's not going to

42
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>come back in and work for him. But what people

43
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>are saying is this stems from an Elon Musk situation

44
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>where Elon Musk said, I don't like her because she's

45
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>not granting, She's not just rubber stamping. The issue where

46
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the copyrights are they protected in a way where the

47
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>AI companies can't use them to train their AI models. Now,

48
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>these large language models that operate or that drive the

49
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>AI machines, is you put a bunch of stuff in them,

50
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>machine learning, the input all this stuff. You input everything

51
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>in the world, everything on the computer, everything, everything everywhere

52
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 2>goes into these machines, and then that's how they know

53
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>how to do things for me. And you. Now, the

54
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>copyright offices or the copyright holders book publishers, music publishers,

55
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>movie library publishers, they're saying like, don't feed our copyrighted

56
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 2>stuff in there because we own that. You can't. I

57
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know, can you. What if we were making a

58
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Encyclopedia Britannica and we wanted to read a bunch of

59
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>books before we wrote the Encyclopedia Britannica, then we would

60
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>not be allowed to read those books unless we had

61
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the permission of the publishers of those books. It's a

62
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>good question. How now, if you're going to train these

63
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>AI models, are you going to how is it going

64
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to work if you have to get a copyright license

65
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>for every single thing that you put in there, so

66
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 2>you can only put in things of people that would

67
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>strike deals for you or with you, and then pretty

68
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 2>soon you have an incomplete AI training model. Now maybe

69
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what the copy right owners want because AI is

70
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>seen as a threat to copyright because AI can write

71
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>music and AI can write stories. I've worked with AI

72
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and I got to tell you, I can't

73
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>beat a good story out of them. You know, it's

74
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>just like but eventually it will be and eventually it'll

75
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>be a threat. But for now, man, so many limitations,

76
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>so many hallucinations. It doesn't scare me at the moment,

77
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>but you know, maybe it will now. Some people say,

78
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>how are you going to be able to tell if

79
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>something is an AI song or not? Or a natural

80
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>song written by a person I don't know. Do you

81
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 2>like it? If you like it, listen to it. Some

82
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 2>lawmakers want there to be laws that say they all

83
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>have to be everything has to be labeled if it

84
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 2>involved AI, And you know, maybe that's a solution. I

85
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know right now, it's a bunch of high people

86
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>that want to sound smart sit around and say AI

87
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is going to ruin everything, and AI is fake. I've

88
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>heard people say it's fake. Of course it's fake. So

89
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 2>some people, I think, you know, they don't want to

90
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 2>learn anything about AI or computer science, so they can

91
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>sit back and say this is fake and it's wrong,

92
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>and we've got to make much of laws against it.

93
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, be careful. I mean, are we

94
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>going to ruin something that's really cool that we're all

95
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>going to want to rely on, or are we going

96
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to let it flourish? And if we let it flourish,

97
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's better for everybody. If we don't, then we

98
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>restrict it and then it's a half ass technology. I

99
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know what that does either. But it's funny because

100
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>people that are you know, want to protect copyrights and

101
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>want or think that. Let me take that back, people

102
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 2>that think there's these people that think copyright should be

103
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>free and there should be no such thing. Someone creates something,

104
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 2>it should be available for everybody. Somehow, I think this

105
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 2>is kind of the same crowd that thinks AI companies

106
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>must pay for these copyrights. I haven't done any research

107
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 2>in that area, but it sounds like the same crowd.

108
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.199
<v Speaker 2>So people think that the Copyright Office lady was gonna,

109
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, bend over for the technology companies, so she

110
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 2>had to go and Elon Musk influenced Trump to fire her,

111
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>and that could be true. All right, Now, what else

112
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>is going on with the public airwaves? Well, you've seen

113
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>CBS bend over for Donald Trump and give them a

114
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 2>bunch of money for chopping up that Kamala Harris interview

115
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 2>and making her this US. They're accused of making her

116
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>sound smart so that she could beat President Trump, and

117
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that's true. I think it's objectively, we could

118
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>say they interviewed her on sixty minutes, she sounded terrible

119
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>because she usually does, and then they said, well, we

120
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 2>got to fix this interview so she doesn't sound like

121
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 2>an idiot, because otherwise Trump will win. And we're all

122
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>around here, we all agree Trump should not win, right, yeah, okay,

123
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>well let's help her so Trump doesn't win. Now, wait

124
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.120
<v Speaker 2>a second, If that's really what they did, that is

125
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 2>a violate of That is a violation of the public

126
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>airwaves principle, The idea that broadcasters have a special obligation

127
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 2>to the public and it's rooted in the fact that

128
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 2>the radio or the TV spectrum is a finite public resource. Okay,

129
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>we own it, and broadcasters receive licenses from the government

130
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 2>basically from the people, to use the resource, and in exchange,

131
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 2>they are expected to serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity.

132
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>And historically this principle led to regulations aimed at ensuring

133
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 2>fair and balanced political discourse. Now, if you're violating that principle,

134
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you're spending the talkspayers money to violate the principle. So

135
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot of and it's usually the conservatives that the

136
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 2>media hates. So a lot of conservative presidents like Nixon,

137
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Reagan and now Trump have been you know, trying to

138
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 2>get them either to be fair or lose their federal money.

139
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Well now Trump has taken away their federal money, and

140
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:40.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, things like Colbert got fired, CBS had to

141
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>pay up for the sixty minutes thing, and other networks

142
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>are nervous. And Jimmy Kimmel invites Greg Guttfeld, his Republican

143
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 2>talk show rival, onto his show to say, hey, look

144
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm fair over here. So all that stuff is happening

145
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>right now. And is it a good thing? Well, it depends.

146
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Do you hate Trump and then it's a bad thing.

147
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.679
<v Speaker 2>If you like Trump, it's a good thing. That's how

148
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 2>most things shake out these days. Let's check the traffic

149
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 2>and come back with more. Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood.

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Joe Sclante back live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood you

151
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>mean Burbank, Let's get to the box office right now.

152
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 2>For the weekend of August eighth to the tenth, twenty

153
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, US theatrical box office saw two new releases

154
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>compete with the returning superhero film. First one of the

155
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>new releases, which is number one, Weapons, It's a horror

156
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 2>film directed by a horror director, Zach Kraiger. He made

157
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>a movie called Barbarian. You might have seen. I got

158
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a forty million dollar weekend out of a horror film

159
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 2>really good, exceeding the pre release predictions and making it

160
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 2>number one and a big win for Warner Brothers. Strong

161
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 2>critical reception suggesting it's like a minus cinema score could

162
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>have a long run. Number two what's called a legacy

163
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>sequel Freakier Friday, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan second place,

164
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 2>estimated thirty million at the box office, and it met

165
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 2>expectations and considered a success for Disney, especially given its

166
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>relatively a modest budget of forty two million dollars and

167
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.879
<v Speaker 2>it's already made thirty million the first weekend. This is

168
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 2>how you make money Disney. Small swings and also positive

169
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 2>audience reception and a cinema score. So Disney's losing a

170
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of money on their big movies and then they

171
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>make a small movie and they made some money. But

172
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 2>you can't run a company like Disney with small movies,

173
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>so you got to keep making these big movies. Fantastic

174
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Four held the top spot last week, but a significant

175
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 2>decline this week, had significant decline last week, another drop

176
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>of over sixty percent in its third weekend. I got

177
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>about fifteen million, and that's starting to cause some concern

178
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>from Marvel and for Disney. Other notable films, Bad Guys

179
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Too and The Naked Gun round out the top five

180
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>twelve million and ten million, respectively. Superman, continuing its strong run,

181
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>estimated seven point eight million this weekend, fifth at the

182
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>box office and thirty three hundred and thirty million overall overall.

183
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>The box office for August was off a little bit

184
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 2>from last year. But you know, no one's really panicking. Now,

185
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 2>let's good to the Let's get to the what what

186
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:59.039
<v Speaker 2>I saw? I saw Naked Gun. Naked Gun too. Okay,

187
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>let's just talk about how much better it is then

188
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Happy Gilmore too. All the people that worked on Happy

189
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Gilmore should be forced to watch Naked Gun and they

190
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 2>should know that you can make a movie funny. It's

191
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.559
<v Speaker 2>not that hard. You just need better writers. I don't

192
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.519
<v Speaker 2>know what kind of writers they had on Naked Gun,

193
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.039
<v Speaker 2>or if it's I know it's not the original guys.

194
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:28.080
<v Speaker 2>The original guys is Zucker, Sucker Brothers, whatever. They weren't

195
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 2>involved because they don't known it like they're known for it,

196
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.320
<v Speaker 2>but they don't own it. You know. That just goes

197
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:38.279
<v Speaker 2>back to the studio and then they can do whatever

198
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>they want with it. Okay, So what we got in

199
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Naked Gun. We got this guy Frank Rebbin Leslie Nielsen's role,

200
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 2>and this one is Frank Rebin Jr. It's the son

201
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>of the original bumbling detective and the plot goes like this,

202
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Frank Dreben Jr. Must follow in his father's footsteps to

203
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>solve a new case and prevent the closure of the

204
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>iconic police squad unit. The plot, as in the original,

205
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.159
<v Speaker 2>is secondary to the constant barrage of ssideketics, slapstick and wordplay.

206
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Directed by this guy A. Kiva Schaffer, a member of

207
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the company group Lonely Island and known for his work

208
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and Saturday Night Live and the movie pop Star Never

209
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Stop Popping or Never Stop Stopping. Yeah, maybe that's it.

210
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Pamela Anderson's in there, doesn't wear any makeup early, so

211
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:42.440
<v Speaker 2>that's still disturbing, but you get over it. Seth McFarlane

212
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 2>from Family Guy and Ted is a co producer who

213
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>he had something to do with it, and he's a

214
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.559
<v Speaker 2>funny guy. The David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abraham's

215
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>not involved anyway. This makes you laugh from the beginning.

216
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.799
<v Speaker 2>You laugh out loud, hysterical. Joe. I don't even want

217
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>to give them away. But if you want to see

218
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 2>a comedy, there aren't that many of them. Now, you

219
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>got to see this, and it's worth it, and it's

220
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 2>making money. Fifty six million in the first week. Couldn't

221
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>cost that much to make, and it's not low budget.

222
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 2>It is a beautiful, funny movie. So I can recommend

223
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Naked Gun too, but actually maybe you might think I'll

224
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 2>think anything's funny after watching Happy Gilmore too. Now in

225
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:41.240
<v Speaker 2>the TV world, what's going on. Streaming continuing to dominate

226
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the TV landscape, as had a report from Nielsen in

227
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>June that streaming hit a major milestone. For the first time,

228
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>streaming share of total television usage surpassed the combined share

229
00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 2>of broadcast and cable, so more streamers than broadcasting cable combined.

230
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 2>This is not really news because this is where we

231
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 2>knew it was headed, but this is where it's going.

232
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 2>And as far as cable news goes, I mean, we know,

233
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 2>usually we hear that's going down, but Fox is going up. Now,

234
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Fox went down. I read one report that said it

235
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 2>was thirty percent down. Sometimes I don't remember. I don't

236
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>believe these reports because usually the people compiling these reports

237
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.399
<v Speaker 2>want Fox News to go down. But that was the

238
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>number I heard this week, thirty percent down. And people,

239
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, they just get their news from YouTube and

240
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>other places, and so cable is depending on a bunch

241
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 2>of old people that don't want to get rid of

242
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 2>their cable and just like the way it works, and

243
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 2>they don't know how to get their news from YouTube

244
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>and places like that, and so as people as those

245
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 2>people die off, I mean, all the news organizations are

246
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 2>going to do something. I mean, Fox has a giant op.

247
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>It's an empire, but if it's crumbling around the edges,

248
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty soon, it's going to crumble away. We'll see big

249
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 2>hits on Netflix are Wednesday, a new second season of

250
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday with Jenna Ortega, and these things are like, you know,

251
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 2>hard for the fans because you have to wait two

252
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 2>years in between seasons a lot on these Netflix series

253
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.039
<v Speaker 2>because they use big stars that they can't tie up

254
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 2>to contracts that make them work right away. When I

255
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>was making TV contracts for CBS, I would get a

256
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 2>contract from an actor that would tie them up for

257
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.359
<v Speaker 2>six years. They couldn't make movies unless we gave them

258
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:47.279
<v Speaker 2>permission during the offseason. And so that's why you had

259
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:50.119
<v Speaker 2>a difference between a TV actor and a movie actor.

260
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Now a TV actor can be a movie actor, it

261
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.559
<v Speaker 2>can be a TV actor. It doesn't matter because they're

262
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 2>making flexible deals. But the people who lose in that

263
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 2>are the fans of the series that you watch it.

264
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, eight episodes of a series and then you

265
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>wait two years for the ninth episode, it's a different experience.

266
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:13.279
<v Speaker 2>In the highly anticipated movie section, we have the Dark Knight,

267
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>another Dark Knight on the Horizon, another resident evil on

268
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the Horizon, Nobody too with Bob Odenkirk. Did you see

269
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Bob Odenkirk and nobody won? That was pretty cool. He

270
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>plays a badass Liam Neeson type, getting revenge and beating

271
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.599
<v Speaker 2>people up. So number two probably going to be pretty good.

272
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:36.079
<v Speaker 2>And then a quiet Place Part three I don't really

273
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 2>need it and the Roses. That's what I want to

274
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>see though. The Roses, it's kind of like Wore the Roses,

275
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>but a new version with Benedict cumber Patch and Olivia Coleman.

276
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Now here's something you know about. If you have two

277
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>big prestige stars like Benedict cumber Patch and Olivia Coleman,

278
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.319
<v Speaker 2>you know you have a winner, because they're not going

279
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to get involved unless there's a a list writers and

280
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 2>a list directors. If you've seen the trailer, you know

281
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>that's what they got. Okay, let's take a break. Joe

288
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:48.119
<v Speaker 2>We heard about this guy. He's now in the I'm

289
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 2>being treated unfairly phase of his saga if you ask me,

290
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>And as you know, on this program, we predicted they

291
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>would not be able to convict him of these serious charges.

292
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.480
<v Speaker 2>So the new developments from this week or A judge

293
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 2>has denied a renewed request from Combs to set bail,

294
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 2>even though one of the alleged victims submitted a letter

295
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in support of Diddy. Combs's legal team had previously sought

296
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>his release on a fifty million dollars bond, arguing that

297
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 2>his swinger's lifestyle did not justify his continued incarceration, and

298
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>they're probably right about that. His problem is this, He's

299
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.759
<v Speaker 2>spent seen on TV beating one of these victims, So

300
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.759
<v Speaker 2>that's a problem, but should it be The rapper faced

301
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 2>five charges across three federal indictments, but was acquitted of

302
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:47.319
<v Speaker 2>the most serious charges of six trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

303
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>He was convicted only on two charges of transportation to

304
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>engage in prostitution. Okay, not a serious charge. I think

305
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 2>if you went and looked at what happened to people

306
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 2>who got other people who got convicted of that, they

307
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 2>were not held in jail without bail. I mean, I

308
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think he's I think he's a gross person. He doesn't.

309
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 2>He's really offensive to me. But people that are offensive

310
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 2>to you, you can't treat them like this, and I

311
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 2>think he's being unfairly treated. Is one of many attempts

312
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the defense has made to get Ditty the ability to

313
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 2>go home to his mansion. Meanwhile, he remains behind bars

314
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:36.279
<v Speaker 2>at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he claims

315
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 2>he's being served maggot infested foods, but the judge won't budge.

316
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>The judge is like, maybe you deserve maggot infested food.

317
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Sentencing is now scheduled for October third, twenty twenty five,

318
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>so he's got to sit there for like another month

319
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 2>and a half. His legal team is actively pursuing an

320
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 2>acquittal or a new trial, asserting that his actions involved

321
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 2>the production of quote unquote amateur pornography for personal gratification

322
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 2>rather than a legal prostitution. This legal strategy aims to

323
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.519
<v Speaker 2>redefine the nature of the alleged conduct in court. They're

324
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.400
<v Speaker 2>always coming up with new angles of this guy's thinks,

325
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, guy, he's just a swinger. I make

326
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 2>it at he's an amateur pornographer. And that might be true.

327
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>But when you got video of you beaten this woman

328
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 2>on the while she's on the ground, no one cares.

329
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't want They just want to lock you up. Now.

330
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I hope this doesn't happen to bust A Rhymes. I

331
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 2>don't really care. But he's been sued by his former assistant,

332
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Dashiel Gables. What my name is that? It took me

333
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 2>a long time to realize. It's the name of a man,

334
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Dashiel Gables, an assistant, a personal assistant named Dashiel. You're

335
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.240
<v Speaker 2>thinking woman, but no, it's man.

336
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

337
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.200
<v Speaker 2>The complaint alleges physical assault, violations of wage laws, and

338
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the creation of a hostile work environment. Buster Rhymes is

339
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 2>a what is he? A rapper? R and B artist?

340
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.119
<v Speaker 2>So this guy says, uh, yeah, a creation of hostile

341
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 2>work environment, blah blah blah. He claims that after reporting

342
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 2>an incident he was effectively iced out of the hip

343
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 2>hop industry. In response, Buster Rhymes has vehemently denied the accuization,

344
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>saying it's an attempted shakedown, indicating his intention to file

345
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 2>a countersuit. So if you file something like that against

346
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.279
<v Speaker 2>your employer and he's powerful like that, yeah, he's going

347
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to file a counterclaim and sue you for defamation. Right,

348
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.400
<v Speaker 2>but defamation usually doesn't like if you're filing, you're protected

349
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.839
<v Speaker 2>in court. If you file these things, you protect it.

350
00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 2>You can't. They can't come after you for defamation when

351
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>you're like if they're part of court proceedings generally. In

352
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.599
<v Speaker 2>the suit which is filed on Tuesday, just last Tuesday,

353
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Dashiel Gables accused Ryme's his real name is Trevor Smith.

354
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 2>You never want your real name as you're a rapper

355
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:14.720
<v Speaker 2>in these things. You know things are bad when they're

356
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:20.559
<v Speaker 2>putting your real name out there. He He accuses him

357
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:24.960
<v Speaker 2>of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and

358
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>several violations of minimum wage, overtime and wage statements. They

359
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 2>will get him on that. Gables asked for unspecified damages.

360
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I have been made aware of the claims made by

361
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Dashel Gables and I completely and categorically deny these allegations,

362
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Rhyme said in a statement on Thursday. For a very

363
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>brief period, Dashiel assisted me, but it did not work out.

364
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Apparently Dashiel has decided to respond to being let go

365
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 2>by manufacturing claims against me in an attempt to attack

366
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and damage my reputation. Well, that would be a good

367
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>way to do it. But did he do that or not?

368
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to find out. Gables claimed in the suit

369
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 2>to have been employed by Raims Starting or Rhymes starting

370
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.359
<v Speaker 2>July of twenty twenty four, so not that long ago,

371
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.599
<v Speaker 2>and he says that Rhymes routinely degraded, screamed at him,

372
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 2>and made unreasonable demands and other employees. He alleged that

373
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Rhymes had assaulted him on January tenth, twenty twenty five,

374
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.160
<v Speaker 2>at around four am. That's when you don't want to

375
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>be assaulted. That's time for rest, right, And he was

376
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.440
<v Speaker 2>at Rhymes's residence in New York when this happened. He

377
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>claimed Rhymes punched him in the face twice after Gables

378
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 2>was using his phone on the job to text his daughter. Okay,

379
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 2>so he's texting his daughter at four to you. This

380
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 2>sent Buster Rhymes into a rage. The suit alleges he screamed,

381
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.319
<v Speaker 2>stay off your effing phone, or stay the f off

382
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 2>your phone. And then Gables explained that it was his

383
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.839
<v Speaker 2>daughter who had called him. He declined the call but

384
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.559
<v Speaker 2>texted her instead to make sure it wasn't an emergency.

385
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Sounds reasonable, right. Then he comes up with this, don't

386
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.880
<v Speaker 2>tell me about your fing kid. What the F does

387
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 2>that have to do with me? All right, so he's

388
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:19.759
<v Speaker 2>got answer. That's a bad boss. I bet he goes

389
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 2>down for the wages and they settle because he's not

390
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:29.400
<v Speaker 2>going to get out of paying those wages from the

391
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.880
<v Speaker 2>State Labor Commission and stuff. So and then this is

392
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 2>bad publicity. It subtenly goes away if there's a trial,

393
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh good for us right now. When I was trained

394
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 2>in the entertainment industry, my boss was a tyrant. Okay,

395
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 2>he was a tyrant, but he was like a brilliant

396
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 2>tyrant in the television world, and we could all learn

397
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot from him, and he made a lot of

398
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 2>but he was tough and he demanded a lot of you.

399
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 2>You had to be there every day early, stay late,

400
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 2>work hard, all that stuff. But if you got a

401
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 2>call from your family in the middle of anything, he

402
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 2>would say, take that check it. Make sure your family's okay.

403
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>If it's your family, go ahead. If you can't talk

404
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:14.839
<v Speaker 2>to me, if you can't get off the phone because

405
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>you're talking to your family, that's fine. Family is everything?

406
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.759
<v Speaker 2>How great is that? And that was like leadership and

407
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.519
<v Speaker 2>that made us want to follow him when he was

408
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 2>doing like really aggressive deal making in Hollywood, making a

409
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.359
<v Speaker 2>lot of people mad, but you could tell he was

410
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 2>a decent person and you kind of backed him and said, Okay,

411
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to follow this guy because he has morals

412
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:45.279
<v Speaker 2>and he he's looking out for my family, and so

413
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm more dedicated. That's a smarter way to lead. Buster rhymes.

414
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:50.799
<v Speaker 2>If he did do this stuff, you know, he just

415
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:55.319
<v Speaker 2>these people aren't trained in business. You know, they're rappers.

416
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 2>They didn't go to you know, law school or business school,

417
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:07.359
<v Speaker 2>or most of them didn't read self help books. They

418
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 2>just this is how they act. He did. He's the

419
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 2>same way. They're just uneducated and it's lawsuits like this

420
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:20.440
<v Speaker 2>that caused them to learn sometimes too late. Now we

421
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:23.039
<v Speaker 2>need to learn something right now as well. We need

422
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to learn about traffic on k e ib eleven fifty Am.

423
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Joe Sclante live from Hollywood. Joe Ascalanti, here's my lawyer,

424
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 2>go back joe'sclanate live from Hollywood. Let's go back to this.

425
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Celebrities behaving badly. This one comes from the world of sports,

426
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 2>the Boston Celtics. The claims against the Boston Celtics and

427
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>two of its star players, Jayalen Brown and Jason Tatum,

428
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.440
<v Speaker 2>have been dismissed by a federal court in Boston. The lawsuit,

429
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.079
<v Speaker 2>filed in twenty twenty four, ledged the defendants were involved

430
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:30.599
<v Speaker 2>in a sex trafficking conspiracy. Okay, this woman, a Jane Doe,

431
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:36.559
<v Speaker 2>filed this claim without a lawyer, so it can be done.

432
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.039
<v Speaker 2>She obviously she couldn't get a lawyer to take it.

433
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 2>So that's a bad sign, right there. Was it a

434
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.480
<v Speaker 2>good case? Probably not. She couldn't get a lawyer to

435
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>take it, so she filed it. She alleged all kinds

436
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 2>of you know, trafficking stuff, saying she was assaulted and

437
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:58.960
<v Speaker 2>she was they were trying to get her to traffic

438
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 2>other individuals. So you don't know what happened. But they

439
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 2>dismissed it. And when I went back and looked at

440
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>some of the stuff. The judge said. It said her

441
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:15.200
<v Speaker 2>claims were just kind of vague. She couldn't differentiate between

442
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:21.359
<v Speaker 2>who did what, and so they she didn't solidly lay

443
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>out the elements of the crime. And this is a

444
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:27.400
<v Speaker 2>civil or the civil wrong because this was in civil court.

445
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 2>So she might have gone to the police and the

446
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:32.160
<v Speaker 2>police said, you don't have any evidence. You're going to

447
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.039
<v Speaker 2>have to assume them in civil court if you want

448
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>to get any justice. Now that might be wrong. Maybe

449
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.880
<v Speaker 2>they didn't take her seriously, and maybe they're boxed in

450
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Celtics fans. Maybe they're corrupt. I don't know, but it

451
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:47.599
<v Speaker 2>seems like the judge agreed that this lady just didn't

452
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:50.839
<v Speaker 2>have it together and couldn't articulate what happened to her

453
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>and who did it. So when you have allegations this serious,

454
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you got to have your ducks in order, or you

455
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>have to, you know, seek therapy instead because you can't

456
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.319
<v Speaker 2>get any justice because you can't articulate what happened. And

457
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 2>that happens too. You could be so traumatized with what

458
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:09.960
<v Speaker 2>happened that you can't, you know, get it together, and

459
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:13.039
<v Speaker 2>then when you talk to a lawyer, you just don't

460
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 2>sound right. And I guess that could happen, but the

461
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.480
<v Speaker 2>judges said, you don't know what you're doing and you're

462
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.759
<v Speaker 2>not doing it well. So I'm dismissing this. And so

463
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:31.079
<v Speaker 2>the Boston Celtics are like COVID probably really bad for them.

464
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 2>But you know what happened? What's their association with this woman?

465
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Why is she making this stuff up? If she's making

466
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:44.079
<v Speaker 2>it up, it just doesn't look good for anybody. Okay,

467
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 2>there's what else doesn't look good? Missy Elliott set to

468
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 2>face a copyright trial. This is interesting because there's a

469
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.240
<v Speaker 2>there's just a proceeding going on in Pennsylvania, and the

470
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 2>judge said, we're not going to delay it anymore. Missy

471
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Elliot's to delay it, but he say no or she

472
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>say no, and they got to go forward. August twenty fifth,

473
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, Missie Ellett is facing a trial overclaims

474
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.359
<v Speaker 2>that she did not properly credit producer Terry Williams for

475
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 2>co writing certain songs. So what happens in a case

476
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>like this. This guy alleges he was, you know, producing,

477
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 2>and this the her early group Sista, and he collaborated

478
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>on songs and that's very, very common with producers. Most

479
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.720
<v Speaker 2>producers are collaborating on songs and they're seeking co authorship

480
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and co ownership of those recordings, and that's how they

481
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 2>make their money. So he insists that's what happened and

482
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:54.920
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't getting paid. She files a separate suit seeking

483
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a declaration that the songs are solely hers, and that's

484
00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 2>that happens. Sometimes if you have people are that are

485
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 2>udging that something's not the way it is, you could

486
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.160
<v Speaker 2>prove your own case ahead of time by getting a

487
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>declaration from a judge, and then a judge at court

488
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 2>would have ruled these are all her songs. She proved

489
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.079
<v Speaker 2>it over here in this court. It's called declatory relief,

490
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and she's trying to get that. But that trial's gilling,

491
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.039
<v Speaker 2>and it's not that exciting, it's not that sexy. But

492
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to talk about the role of a

493
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 2>producer in the music industry. Most of them are writing songs.

494
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Some of them are writing all the songs. Sometimes you

495
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:37.440
<v Speaker 2>go to a producer to help you write songs because

496
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.599
<v Speaker 2>that producer has co written hits with people, people like

497
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:44.880
<v Speaker 2>John Feldman. I was just listening to a song the

498
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.279
<v Speaker 2>other day and I was like, what is this? Sounds

499
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.720
<v Speaker 2>like a good Charlotte hit? And then I zammed in

500
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:51.519
<v Speaker 2>or whatever and yeah, there it was. And then I

501
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.720
<v Speaker 2>looked at the producer, John Feldman, one of the writers,

502
00:33:55.440 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 2>co writer, John Feldman, and he's the producer. It's not

503
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>in the band, but in the studio. He's saying, come on, guys,

504
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:08.000
<v Speaker 2>here's how you write a HiT's let's crank this up

505
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:12.039
<v Speaker 2>a notch. Here's a good chorus for you. Then there's

506
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 2>some people who don't do much but they want to

507
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:21.280
<v Speaker 2>claim authorship. They call that change a word, take a third.

508
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.599
<v Speaker 2>But you got to get these documents kind of it's

509
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:27.760
<v Speaker 2>just one of those things. You got to get it

510
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>done in advance. All right, we're going to be in

511
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the studio together. There's first of all, the producer has

512
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.159
<v Speaker 2>to be up front and say, look, if I help

513
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:40.599
<v Speaker 2>you with these songs, I'm claiming authorship and I'm claiming ownership.

514
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:43.280
<v Speaker 2>So talk to my lawyer about what the raids are

515
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 2>going to be. And you got to know it going

516
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 2>in otherwise you get burned. And maybe he owns all

517
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 2>the tapes, you know, the drives with all the info on,

518
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:53.199
<v Speaker 2>and he won't pay he won't release them unless you

519
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.800
<v Speaker 2>pay him. So don't get in that problem too, or

520
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 2>you got a Boogie Knight's problem. Right. Okay, here's a

521
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:04.400
<v Speaker 2>fascinating one nobody's talking about. Disney has settled with Gina

522
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Carano in a lawsuit, remember that she filed when she

523
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 2>was fired. Former star of Mandalorian, one of the greatest

524
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:19.079
<v Speaker 2>TV series in the last decade, settled her lawsuit against

525
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Lucasfilm and Disney over her twenty twenty one firing. Krana

526
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 2>was terminated after a series of controversial media posts, including

527
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.840
<v Speaker 2>one that compared the treatment of American conservatives to the

528
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.960
<v Speaker 2>treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. Okay, with looking at

529
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:39.119
<v Speaker 2>this in hindsight, you're gonna just wonder how this happened,

530
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna imagine she got a large settlement. Okay,

531
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:47.320
<v Speaker 2>So here's the details. She sued for wrongful termination and

532
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 2>who's funding her lawsuit? Elon Musk, because there's a legal

533
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.440
<v Speaker 2>fund over at Twitter. I guess if you are attacked

534
00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.280
<v Speaker 2>for exercising your right of free speech on Twitter. Suit

535
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:03.360
<v Speaker 2>alleged that she was fired over expressing her political opinions

536
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and that Disney had damaged her reputation. While the terms

537
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:09.599
<v Speaker 2>of the settlement were not disclosed, both sides have agreed

538
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.800
<v Speaker 2>to dismiss the case. Lucasfilm released a statement acknowledging Carino's

539
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:18.719
<v Speaker 2>professionalism and stating that they look forward to identifying opportunities

540
00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to work together in the future. Lucasfilm removed Krono from

541
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the Star Wars streaming show Mandalorian in twenty twenty one

542
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:31.679
<v Speaker 2>over social media posts that the company at the time

543
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:37.079
<v Speaker 2>called abhorrent and unacceptable for denigrating people based on their

544
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.119
<v Speaker 2>cultural and religious identities. Okay, really, the actor was previously

545
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.079
<v Speaker 2>in movies like Deadpool and Haywire, and she's a mixed

546
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>martial arts fighter. She appeared to compare the treatment of

547
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:54.280
<v Speaker 2>conservatives with the dehumanization of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

548
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I think this is one of her quotes because history

549
00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.360
<v Speaker 2>is edited. Most people today don't realized that to get

550
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up

551
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 2>thousands of Jews. Okay, the government first made their own

552
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.960
<v Speaker 2>neighbors hate them for simply being Jews. How is that

553
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.480
<v Speaker 2>any difference from hating someone for their political views? She

554
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:24.199
<v Speaker 2>posted on Instagram. Now, if you're being attacked for your

555
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:32.280
<v Speaker 2>political views. I mean, and certainly people were. I don't know.

556
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I just think that it's just a harmless stuff that's

557
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.840
<v Speaker 2>being written now. It's just harmless, and no one she

558
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:41.880
<v Speaker 2>couldn't work. They said you can't work. You said that

559
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you cannot work. So anyways, she settled her case, probably

560
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.719
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of money, and that's not now. I

561
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.679
<v Speaker 2>also want to remind you before we go Sublime takeover

562
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.920
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. I'm going to be doing tours at the

563
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Punk Rock Museum, So go to the Punk Rock Museum

564
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:59.360
<v Speaker 2>website and you can see my tours. On Saturday, we'll

565
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.440
<v Speaker 2>be there and you can sign up for one of

568
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and the sixteenth. It's the Atari's with Penny Wise and Sublime,

569
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Long Beach to All Stars some other bands too. Make

570
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.320
<v Speaker 2>sure you consider going out to Vegas. It's all indoors.

571
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to be hot inside these places, and

572
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:27.159
<v Speaker 2>that's where I'll be. And I now leave you with

573
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 2>just a taste of the greatest song ever written.
