Podcasts about Being Charlie

Your questions have been flooding in on three of the most talked-about cases right now, and we're dedicating this episode to answering them. First: Nick Reiner, charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele Reiner after years of addiction, schizophrenia, and a family that never gave up — until allegedly, it cost them their lives. Why did Alan Jackson walk away? How do you reconcile "Being Charlie" with this? Then: the WSU Kohberger lawsuit. The families of the four Idaho murder victims allege Washington State University received thirteen complaints about Bryan Kohberger and did essentially nothing. A professor warned he'd become a predator. Women needed escorts to their cars. And the institution allegedly protected itself instead of its students. Finally: Michael McKee and the Tepe murders. A surgeon who allegedly drove 300 miles to kill the ex-wife who'd moved on and the husband who loved her. Monique did everything right — she left, divorced, rebuilt — and she's still dead. We tackle enabling, institutional failure, coercive control, and the common thread running through all three: systems that should have protected people and didn't.#NickReiner #BryanKohberger #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #RobReiner #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #CoerciveControl #HiddenKillers #ListenerQuestionsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner did everything right. They showed up to every therapy session. They paid for eighteen rehab stays. They hired private instructors and family therapists. They let their troubled son live in their guesthouse even after he destroyed it—multiple times. And on December 14, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son Nick, 32, was arrested that night and now faces two counts of first-degree murder.Today on True Crime Today, we break down the troubling history of Nick Reiner—the entitled Hollywood son whose struggles with addiction and mental illness were met with endless resources and zero consequences. A 2009 rehab roommate tells the Daily Mail that Nick was "a fucking pompous little punk" who constantly ranted about hating his parents—the same parents who attended every family session while other wealthy families sent nannies.We examine Nick's own admissions on the Dopey podcast: destroying property with "no logic," stealing OxyContin from sick elderly people, and getting high during the press tour for Being Charlie—a film about his recovery that his father directed. We look at the 2020 mental health conservatorship, the reported medication change weeks before the killings, and the disturbing scene at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party where guests say Nick was "freaking everyone out" just hours before his parents' deaths.This is the story the headlines won't tell you. Money couldn't save Rob and Michele Reiner.#TrueCrimeToday #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurder #TrueCrime #HollywoodMurder #BrentwoodMurder #Parricide #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

By the time Nick Reiner was fifteen, he'd already learned a dangerous lesson: there is no bottom, because someone will always catch you. His parents—legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner—spent decades trying to save their troubled son. Eighteen rehab stints. Private wellness instructors. Family therapy. A guesthouse on their $13.5 million Brentwood estate that sources say he destroyed multiple times and they kept repairing.On December 14, 2025, Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death. Nick was arrested that night.In this Hidden Killers deep dive, we examine who Nick Reiner really was—not the redemption story from the 2015 film Being Charlie, but the darker reality hidden behind Hollywood privilege. A rehab roommate describes him as "a fucking pompous little punk" with "no sense of gratitude." A family yoga instructor recalls childhood tantrums so intense she'd "never seen a child like it." And Nick himself, on the Dopey podcast, admitted to destroying property with "no logic" and stealing medication from the elderly.We trace the path from entitled child to alleged killer—through a 2020 mental health conservatorship, a reported medication change weeks before the murders, and a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house where multiple guests saw a man in crisis and no one called 911. This is a story about what happens when money can't buy accountability and love becomes enabling.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #HollywoodMurder #ReinerMurder #Parricide #Addiction #MentalHealthJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers Live to examine the warning signs in the Nick Reiner case—and what they reveal about the gap between recognizing danger and acting on it. Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the December 14th stabbing deaths of his parents, legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner. His arraignment has been delayed until February 23rd after defense attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from the case while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder" under California law. Nick has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, eighteen rehab stays by age 22, and a 2020 mental health conservatorship. He co-wrote the 2016 film "Being Charlie" with his father about his addiction struggles—then admitted on a podcast he wasn't actually sober during the press tour. Hours before the murders, Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's home, where witnesses described him asking repetitive questions, staring at guests, and getting into an argument with his father. Sources say he had recently changed psychiatric medications. Dreeke examines the escalation pattern—childhood tantrums, adolescent violence, property destruction, and allegedly murder—and what families should watch for when a loved one is deteriorating.#NickReiner #RobReiner #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #ReinerMurders #MicheleSingerReiner #MentalHealthCrisis #BrentwoodMurder #TrueCrimeLiJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He was a successful director with resources, connections, and access to the best treatment money could buy. By the end, he was publicly saying they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. They brought a son exhibiting erratic behavior to a party where other guests considered calling 911. They went to sleep in a house with someone who, according to sources, was in psychiatric crisis. Something fundamentally shifted in how they perceived threat.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes twenty years of family dynamics. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delivers our most comprehensive analysis—a three-part breakdown covering Nick's individual psychology, the family dynamics that trapped the Reiners for 30 years, and systemic failures that allowed tragedy despite unlimited resources. She examines Nick's schizoaffective disorder, the medication change that reportedly destabilized him one month before the murders, and the psychology of someone who admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy.Part two breaks down how the family "grew used to" behavior that alarmed strangers and what three decades cycling through 18-plus facilities does to parents. Part three exposes why the mental health system failed. Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for Nick. Alexis Haines said he belonged in a hospital. The care he needed may not even exist.

How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? What did Rob and Michele Reiner stop being able to see?

The Reiners called police twice in 2019. A welfare check. A mental health call. That means at some point they perceived enough danger or dysfunction to bring in law enforcement. But by December 2025, they're sharing a home with Nick after watching him act erratically at a party. They went to bed. What happened to their threat calibration? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers to analyze the long con—how a manipulative person reshapes family reality over two decades until danger becomes normalized. Robin spent 21 years with the FBI, including as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he specializes in understanding how trust gets exploited. Rob Reiner said publicly that he regretted listening to addiction specialists and professionals instead of his son. Robin explains what it looks like when someone has successfully trained their family to distrust outside expertise—and how long that takes. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father in 2015, a movie about their own relationship and his addiction. That's extraordinary narrative control—he got to shape the public story of his illness with his father's collaboration. What does that level of influence tell you about the power dynamics? The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Robin explains how manufactured guilt functions as a manipulation tool inside families—and why legitimate frustration with a broken treatment system becomes a vulnerability that can be exploited. The surviving children don't want the death penalty. Even now—protection. Robin weighs in on what that means.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #FamilyManipulation #ThreatBlindness #BeingCharlie #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going live to discuss the hardest question in the Reiner case: How did accomplished, intelligent people with resources and access to the best treatment end up sleeping in the same house with someone in crisis—hours before they were found stabbed to death? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—21 years with the Bureau, former Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to analyze what happened inside the Reiner family over two decades. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to going to bed on December 13th, 2025, after watching their son behave erratically at a party? Rob Reiner publicly said he regretted listening to professionals instead of Nick. Robin explains how someone trains their family to distrust outside expertise over time—the mechanics of it. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father, shaping the public narrative of his illness. That's extraordinary influence over the family story. What does that tell you about power dynamics? There's a concept in Robin's world about how trust gets exploited—reciprocity, vulnerability, shared identity. Nick had all of those levers plus manufactured guilt. The Reiners blamed themselves for treatment failures. Robin explains how that guilt becomes a tool. We'll take your questions live. And we'll address the question Robin can't stop thinking about: Could anyone have broken through to the Reiners? If you'd sat down with them a month before—what would they have needed to hear to see the danger they were living with?#LIVE #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #FamilyDynamics #ThreatBlindness #TrueCrimeLive #ManipulationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This Day in Legal History: Nixon's PlumbersOn January 7, 1972, President Richard Nixon announced the formation of a special unit within the White House to investigate and prevent leaks of classified information, which would eventually evolve into the so-called “Plumbers” unit. This decision followed the publication of the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg in 1971, which deeply embarrassed the Nixon administration. Although the formal establishment of the Plumbers occurred in July 1971, Nixon's January 7 remarks to his aides marked a turning point in the administration's shift toward covert activity to manage political threats.The Plumbers were tasked with stopping or punishing perceived enemies of the administration. This group would go on to commit the break-in at the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist, and many of its members were later involved in the June 1972 burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex—an event that ultimately unraveled Nixon's presidency. The actions undertaken by the Plumbers and their associates triggered investigations into abuse of executive power, illegal surveillance, and obstruction of justice.This date is significant in legal history because it underscores the dangers of unchecked executive authority and the use of government resources for political ends. The legal fallout from these events led to reforms in campaign finance, surveillance, and oversight of executive conduct, including the passage of the Ethics in Government Act and the strengthening of the Freedom of Information Act.Nicolás Maduro's arraignment in a U.S. federal court marks a rare and complex legal confrontation over the prosecution of a sitting foreign leader. Charged with narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, Maduro pleaded not guilty and asserted he remains Venezuela's legitimate president. His defense hinges on two main arguments: a claim of head-of-state immunity under international law and an allegation that he was unlawfully abducted by the U.S. military. The U.S. government counters that Maduro lost legitimacy after a disputed 2018 election and is not entitled to immunity.Legal scholars suggest that immunity claims in criminal cases are uncommon but not unprecedented. Former Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega attempted a similar defense, which failed, though he never held the official title of president. U.S. courts have dismissed civil suits against sitting leaders based on State Department recognition, but criminal immunity has a narrower scope. The court will also examine whether Maduro's alleged actions were part of his official duties—a critical factor in determining immunity.Even if immunity is denied, prosecutors may still face challenges proving Maduro's direct involvement in the conspiracy. Analysts note the indictment lacks strong ties between Maduro and specific terrorist or trafficking acts, though the Justice Department may be withholding key evidence. The defense is expected to argue aggressively that Maduro's arrest violated international law, echoing arguments rejected in the Noriega case.Maduro's immunity claim tests US power to prosecute foreign leaders | ReutersNick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of slain filmmaker Rob Reiner, is scheduled to enter a plea this Wednesday to two counts of first-degree murder in the fatal stabbings of his parents. His initial court appearance in December was postponed at his defense attorney's request, citing complex legal issues. Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Reiner, 70, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on December 14, both having suffered multiple stab wounds. The killings, which occurred just hours before a planned event with the Obamas, shocked both Hollywood and political communities where Rob Reiner had long been influential.Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will seek the death penalty, though capital punishment is currently under a moratorium in California. The case has drawn intense public scrutiny, especially after reports that Nick argued with his parents at a holiday party the night before their deaths. He was later found and arrested near a downtown park.Nick Reiner, who lived in a guest house on the property, has a well-documented history of drug addiction and homelessness. His struggles formed the basis of the 2015 film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote with his father. Rob Reiner, known for his role as “Meathead” in All in the Family and for directing beloved films like The Princess Bride and A Few Good Men, was a towering figure in both entertainment and Democratic politics. Michele Reiner was a producer and former photographer known for her 1980s portrait of Donald Trump. The motive behind the killings remains unclear.Son of slain Hollywood filmmaker Rob Reiner due back in court | ReutersA panel of judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals appeared doubtful of Meta Platforms' effort to dismiss over 2,200 lawsuits alleging that its platforms—along with those of Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok—were intentionally designed to be addictive to young users. At the heart of the appeal is whether Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shields these companies from liability for harm allegedly caused by their platform designs, not just user content.The judges questioned whether it was premature to consider the companies' immunity claims at this stage, given that the underlying cases are still in early litigation. They noted that most appeals occur only after a final judgment has been issued. Meta's attorney argued that defending such massive litigation now, without immunity protection, would be an undue burden. However, the panel suggested the district judge—Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers—had left the door open to revisiting Section 230 defenses later in the process.The lawsuits, brought by states, municipalities, school districts, and individuals, claim the platforms contributed to rising youth mental health issues like depression and body image disorders. The plaintiffs argue these are not content-related claims but rather focus on harmful platform features that fall outside Section 230 protections.Judge Jacqueline Nguyen pointed out that the language of Section 230 doesn't clearly grant the sweeping immunity Meta is claiming. Other judges on the panel, appointed by both Republican and Democratic presidents, also showed skepticism toward the broad interpretation of immunity being asserted by the companies.US appeals court appears skeptical of Meta, social media companies' bid to cut off addiction lawsuits | ReutersSeveral major class action lawsuits with billions of dollars at stake are set for key appellate decisions in 2026, targeting high-profile companies across tech, entertainment, sports, and real estate. In one case, Live Nation is appealing a ruling that certified a nationwide class action accusing it of inflating ticket prices over 15 years for events at major venues, involving over 400 million ticket sales.Apple is also facing renewed scrutiny as consumers seek to reinstate a class action alleging its App Store rules created a monopoly, leading to $20 billion in overcharges. A lower court had decertified the class of nearly 200 million customers, but the 9th Circuit has agreed to review that decision.Meanwhile, the NCAA is defending a historic $2.8 billion settlement compensating college athletes for past use of their name, image, and likeness. Although the deal received widespread support, appeals have temporarily delayed payments to affected athletes.The NFL is facing a critical appeal after a $4.7 billion jury verdict over its “Sunday Ticket” broadcast package was thrown out last year. Consumers and businesses want that verdict reinstated, arguing the NFL monopolized out-of-market game access.In the hotel sector, the 3rd Circuit will decide whether to revive claims that Atlantic City resorts, including Caesars and MGM, colluded on room prices using algorithmic pricing software—similar to claims already dismissed in a Las Vegas case now potentially heading to the U.S. Supreme Court.Finally, the 8th Circuit will examine objections to settlements totaling over $668 million in a class action accusing real estate firms, including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway-owned HomeServices, of fixing commission rates nationwide. Plaintiffs say the deals are fair; critics argue they don't go far enough.Billions in balance for US companies fighting class action appeals in 2026 | Reuters This is a public episode.

Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on December 14th, 2025. Their 32-year-old son Nick has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances — charges that carry the death penalty in California. Defense attorney Alan Jackson says there are "very complex and serious issues" in this case. The DA's office is asking the public not to rush to judgment. So what's really going on here? In this interview, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down both sides of this case — how prosecutors will try to secure a first-degree conviction and possibly the death penalty, and how the defense will fight back using Nick Reiner's documented history of severe addiction and mental health crises. We examine the special circumstances allegation, the knife enhancement, and the reported argument between Nick and his father at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party the night before the killings. The coroner still hasn't confirmed time of death — and that matters. Nick Reiner entered rehab at 15. By 22, he'd cycled through 17 treatment programs. He's spoken publicly about methamphetamine, heroin, homelessness, and psychotic episodes while using. His father Rob directed a film about his addiction called "Being Charlie" and once said: "I'd rather you hate me than be dead in the street." A family friend who saw Nick ten days before the murders described him as healthy and "on the upswing." So what happened? Can addiction and mental illness reduce first-degree murder charges? What does it mean that Nick wasn't medically cleared for his arraignment? And if the death penalty is on the table, what mitigating factors will the defense present? This is the complete legal breakdown from both perspectives — prosecution and defense — so you understand what's actually at stake and how this case will unfold. #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurder #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #DeathPenalty #CriminalDefense #LosAngeles #BreakingNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In light of the recent tragedy, Mike unlocks a 2016 interview with the late Rob Reiner. It is a conversation that now plays differently: Reiner discusses his film Being Charlie, which was written by his son Nick Reiner—the man now arrested in connection with his death. Mike reflects on the director's legacy, the eerie prescience of their discussion on addiction and family, and the President's disparagement of the deceased. Then, The Spiel turns to the Compact magazine essay by Jacob Savage on the "vanishing" white male in cultural industries. Mike parses the statistics—from Ivy League hiring to MacArthur Grants—to ask if the corrective pendulum has swung too far.

Nick Reiner's defense attorney Alan Jackson told reporters there are "very complex and serious issues" in this case and urged the public not to rush to judgment. That's not a throwaway line — it's a signal. But a signal of what? In this interview, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the defense strategies most likely being developed right now behind closed doors. Nick Reiner has a documented, decades-long history of severe drug addiction. He entered rehab at 15. By 22, he'd been through 17 treatment programs. He's spoken publicly about methamphetamine, heroin, homelessness, and violent episodes while using — including destroying everything in his parents' guest house during a drug-fueled breakdown. His father Rob Reiner directed a semi-autobiographical film about Nick's addiction called "Being Charlie." In interviews promoting the film, Rob said he told his son: "I'd rather you hate me than be dead in the street." The family's struggle with Nick's addiction was painfully public for years. So how does the defense use that history without appearing to blame the victims? Can a documented pattern of addiction and mental health crises reduce first-degree murder to second-degree — or even manslaughter? What does it mean that Nick wasn't medically cleared to appear at his initial arraignment? We also examine what happens if prosecutors pursue the death penalty. What mitigating factors will the defense present? And how effective are addiction and mental illness arguments in California capital cases? This is Part 2 of a two-part series.

Police Publish and Quickly Delete Photos of Rob Reiner's Son Being Cuffed for Slaughtering Parents, Give No Explanation Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of liberal activist and famed director Rob Reiner, has been arrested and charged with the brutal murder of his parents. The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Division published dramatic photos of Nick's handcuffed arrest on Instagram on Monday, but quickly deleted them without explanation. Rob Reiner, 78, known for classics like The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, and When Harry Met Sally, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home on Sunday afternoon. The New York Post reports: Nick Reiner, whose face is blurred out, is seen being forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to one photo. Another snap showed law enforcement pushing the suspect against the front of a squad car. In the caption, the unit only identified the man as “a double homicide suspect.” The arrest was made by US Marshals with the assistance of the LAPD's robbery homicide division, according to the post. An LAPD spokesperson declined to comment when asked why the force's gang and narcotics unit deleted the arrest photo shortly after it was published. The since-deleted photos: Nick, who has long battled severe drug addiction starting in his teens, co-wrote and starred in the 2016 semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, directed by his father, which chronicled a young man's struggles with substance abuse and rehab. Insiders report that Nick “really resented” his father and “hated himself for not being as successful,” amid ongoing family tensions. The night before the murders, Rob and Nick reportedly got into a “very loud argument” at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, loud enough for other guests to notice.

TAKE A LISTEN https://twitter.com/RealSLokhova/status/2000919590449394156?s=20 Real Texas Conservative  The tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele on December 14, 2025, have cast a somber shadow over Hollywood, prompting reflections on legacy, loss, and the lingering scars of political division. In response, President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post on December 15, 2025 – framing their passing through the lens of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) – has ignited controversy. Yet, when examined against the backdrop of Reiner’s decade-long barrage of vitriolic rhetoric against Trump, the statement emerges not as callous, but as an appropriate blend of pointed satire, genuine sympathy, and a timely concern for mental health. This piece builds an ironclad case for its fittingness, rooted in factual history, psychological insight, and legal precedent. To understand the appropriateness of Trump’s words, one must first confront the unyielding hostility Reiner directed at him since 2015. Reiner, celebrated for directing classics like “This Is Spinal Tap” and “The Princess Bride,” transformed into one of Trump’s most vocal detractors after his presidential candidacy. In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reiner labeled Trump a “con man” and “dangerous,” warning he would erode democratic norms. This escalated over the years. By 2018, Reiner tweeted comparisons of Trump to Hitler, accusing him of fostering fascism and white supremacy. His 2024 documentary “God & Country” explicitly tied Trump’s influence to Christian nationalism, portraying it as a threat to American democracy. Reiner’s social media feed became a relentless stream of attacks, calling Trump a “pathological liar,” “sociopath,” and “existential danger” in posts that amassed millions of views. Even in 2025, shortly before his death, Reiner urged boycotts of Trump-related events, framing his re-election as apocalyptic. These were not isolated jabs but a sustained campaign, often personal and inflammatory, that Reiner himself admitted stemmed from deep-seated outrage. This history of antagonism, predominantly initiated by Reiner, sets the stage for why Trump’s response is not only defensible but proportionate. Far from escalating the feud posthumously, Trump’s post acknowledges Reiner’s talents – “a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star” – while attributing the tragedy to TDS, a “mind-crippling disease” fueled by “raging obsession.” This framing isn’t baseless invention; it’s grounded in credible psychological analysis. Critics have questioned the timing of Trump’s post, issued just a day after the tragedy, as potentially too raw or opportunistic. However, this immediacy is precisely what makes it authentic and effective, aligning with Trump’s longstanding style of direct, unfiltered leadership in a 24/7 news cycle where narratives solidify within hours. Historical precedents abound; consider how President Lincoln addressed critics’ deaths or political losses with prompt wit during the Civil War, using fresh moments to foster national introspection and prevent distorted legacies. Similarly, Trump’s swift response cuts through emerging media spin – already framing Reiner solely as a heroic anti-Trump voice – by injecting balance and psychological truth right when public discourse peaks. Delaying would risk seeming calculated or detached, whereas this timing underscores sincerity, especially paired with the post’s sympathetic close. In essence, it’s not haste but strategic candor, transforming grief into a teachable moment on division’s dangers before emotions calcify. Transitioning from personal history to broader insight, TDS has been recognized by mental health experts as a manifestation of intense political polarization leading to real psychological strain. Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, in analyses shared on platforms like the Mark Simone Show, described TDS as rooted in “mass hysteria,” where individuals project anxieties onto a political figure, resulting in paranoia, chronic stress, and potential health declines. Research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology supports this, linking partisan hatred to elevated cortisol levels, anxiety disorders, and weakened well-being. Trump’s reference to TDS isn’t mockery; it’s a diagnostic observation, highlighting how Reiner’s fixation – evident in his own words – might have contributed to personal tolls, especially amid reports of familial strife surrounding the deaths. By raising this, Trump shifts the narrative from vendetta to vigilance, urging awareness of how ideological obsessions erode lives. Moreover, the post’s satirical edge aligns with a storied tradition of political commentary, making it intellectually apt rather than insensitive. Trump employs hyperbole – “driving people CRAZY” amid America’s “Golden Age” – to underscore the irony of Reiner’s paranoia against tangible achievements like record economic growth, Middle East peace accords, and energy independence during his administration. This mirrors Jonathan Swift’s exaggerated proposals in “A Modest Proposal” or Abraham Lincoln’s witty rebukes of critics, using humor to expose societal flaws without literal malice. Legally, such expression is shielded by the First Amendment; the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell affirms that satirical opinions about public figures, absent provable falsehoods, are protected speech. Trump’s “reportedly due to” phrasing acknowledges speculation, ensuring it remains opinion, not defamation. What elevates the statement to appropriateness is its undercurrent of grace amid past unkindnesses, including Trump’s rare direct engagement with Reiner pre-tragedy despite the instigations. The post concludes with “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” This isn’t perfunctory; it’s a sincere extension of sympathy, humanizing both parties and transcending the feud while modeling reciprocity in an era of unrelenting acrimony. Trump’s words match rhetoric’s intensity yet cap it with compassion and a mental health caveat, turning potential gloating into a nudge toward understanding division’s toll. In conclusion, Trump’s response is ironclad in its fittingness because it reciprocates a decade of Reiner’s attacks with measured satire, validates psychological realities, and prioritizes sympathy over score-settling. It doesn’t diminish the tragedy but illuminates division’s costs, encouraging reflection.

They had their own police. They had their own everything, but you'd have to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI.

JD Vance Points Out the Consequence of the Senate “Blue Slip” Veto of Judicial Nominees It was passed by Congress on May 13, 1912, and ratified on April 8, 1913 The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution grants Congress the authority to impose and collect income taxes without the need to apportion them among the states or base them on census data. constitution.congress.gov It was passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified on February 3, 1913. all of this is an outcome of the 17th Amendment, which stopped the state legislatures from having control over their senators.  Under the original constitutional framework, the Senate was designed to represent the interests of the state, as the Senators were appointed by state legislature, not popular votes.  The Sea Island assembly destroyed this cornerstone when they triggered the 17th Amendment. Repeal the 17th Amendment, and just about everything in federal government changes. Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation. When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time, those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th Amendment. Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system, the Senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.  .When the 17th Amendment (direct voting for Senators) took the place of state appointments, the perspective of ‘advise and consent' changed.  The Senate was now in the position of ensuring the presidential appointee did not undermine the power of the permanent bureaucracy, which is the root of power for the upper-chamber. Senate committees, Homeland Security, Judiciary, Intelligence, Armed Services, Foreign Relations, etc. now consists of members who carry an imbalanced level of power within government.  The Senate now controls who will be in charge of executive branch agencies like the DOJ, DHS, FBI, CIA, ODNI, DoD, State Dept and NSA, from the position of their own power and control in Washington DC. In essence, the 17th Amendment flipped the intent of the constitution from protecting the individual states to protecting the federal government. Seventeenth Amendment- “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.” (link)   The biggest issue following the passage of the 17th Amendment became Senators who were no longer representing the interests of their state.  Instead, they were representing the interests of the power elite groups who were helping them fund the mechanisms of their re-election efforts. A Senator only needs to run for re-election every six years.  The 17th Amendment is the only amendment that changed the structure of the Congress, as it was written by the founders. Over time, the Senate chamber itself began using their advice and consent authority to control the executive and judicial branch.  The origination of a nomination now holds the question: “Can this person pass the Senate confirmation process?” source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/j3669/status/2000683161273897213?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000952036238746070?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000671858417422538?s=20   is going to save the GOP, AGAIN.

But here's what makes this story even more disturbing: the night before the killings, Rob, Michele, and Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house. Witnesses say Nick was acting erratically — staring at people, interrupting conversations, freaking out guests. Then he got into a loud argument with his father. Loud enough for the whole party to hear. Rob and Michele left afterward. Less than 24 hours later, they were dead. Nick Reiner has a documented history of severe drug addiction going back to age 15. He went through 17 rehab programs. He was homeless in three different states. In 2015, he co-wrote a semi-autobiographical film with his father called Being Charlie about his struggles with addiction. Rob Reiner called it the most personal project he ever made. Sources say Michele had been telling friends for months that she and Rob were at their "wits' end" with Nick's mental health and substance abuse issues. Her words: "We've tried everything." This is a story about a Hollywood legend, a family in crisis, and a system that gives parents almost no options when their adult children are spiraling. The Reiners had money, connections, and access to the best treatment available. None of it was enough. In this video, we break down everything we know — the timeline, the party, the arrest, Nick's history, and what comes next as the case heads to the LA County District Attorney. #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #Brentwood #Hollywood #TrueCrime #BeingCharlie #ConanOBrien #LAPD #BreakingNews #CelebrityCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is an interview on my show (formerly titled "2 Chairs & A Microphone") I did a while back with Rob about his amazing career, his life and the movie he made with his son Nick, “Being Charlie. “ Rob was so proud and excited to have made this film with his son. Rob was a great artist, and more importantly, a great human being. A true social activist, he loved people and cared deeply about mankind. He was a tireless spokesperson for the downtrodden and made huge contributions to better the world. He is going to be sorely missed. RIP.

He was also one of the stars ("Meat Head") of the iconic sit-com, "All in the Family." We talk his storied career, his famous dad, Carl Reiner, working with greats like Billy Crystal and Tom Hanks, and his newest film, Being Charlie, which is a very personal one that he directs and his son wrote about his son's addiction and recovery. His son Nick joins me with Rob to discuss his harrowing life of drugs and what it was like making this film with his dad. We talk politics too, as Rob is a very active politically in the world of democratic politics. This is an wide-ranging, really fun, candid conversation with one of Hollywood's brilliant directors and comedy minds.

In this episode Sean & Vito will discuss trailers for the following 4 films: Bad Moms, The Shallows, Being Charlie, and Now You See Me 2.

Rob Reiner has been around show business his entire life, which might explain why he's excelled in so many different areas. Rob shares stories with Marc about Groucho Marx, the Smothers Brothers, All in the Family, Albert Brooks, This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, his dad, his mom, Jack Nicholson, Larry David, and the creation of Seinfeld, all the way up to his new film, Being Charlie, which he made with his son.

Writers Nick Reiner and Matt Elisofon, the cowriters of the new addiction and recovery drama Being Charlie, did more than their fair share of research in order to create a compelling, convincing story: the two met when they were roommates at Promises rehab and, after bonding over the usual rehab stuff (that is, making fun of other residents), they started channeling their newfound time and energy into a script. Originally something they wrote for TV (though they confess they truly never thought it go anywhere), Being Charlie eventually got into the hands of Nick's director dad Rob (When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride, among many others). Originally, Rob was just giving the boys notes; eventually, he signed on to helm the project. The story, which focuses on the troubled son of a movie star-turned-politician (played by The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes), was strongly influenced by young Reiner's own experience (he's been to 18 rehabs, starting when he was 14 and has had bouts of homelessness you wouldn't associate with a denizen of Hollywood). In this episode, we discuss the most epic fights the cowriters have had, the ways 12-step has and hasn't helped them and how the movie isn't actually The Nick Reiner story, among many other topics.

This week I put together a sound compilation on the recent Annapolis Film Festival. I interview Dominque Purdy, the writer and star of "Driving While Black" and ask him on his thoughts on Annapolis. Then we hear from the stars of "Becoming Bulletproof,' where a group of actors with and without disabilities gather in Los Angelos to film BULLETPROOF, a comedy Western complete with saloon brawls and scheming villains. The lead actor has Williams Syndrome and hails from Maryland. Next we hear from the director's of the film festival's films, including the Director of Blair Witch Project and a female director's perspective.  Finally, we hear from Rob Reiner, famed director of Princess Bride on the American Premier of "Being Charlie," a film loosely base on him and his son, Nick Reiner's coping with addiction. The Annapolis Film Festival has quickly become acclaimed and well known through Hollywood circles. This year's "Best of Fest" films were exceptional and unforgettable. Enjoy these sounds and check out the festival next year. Please share this with any of your film buff friends via social media. http://annapolisfilmfestival.com/
