TMZ Live – Streaming Live From The Newsroom! – 10/8/25

Good morning everyone. As you already know, Jackson is out today. He is on assignment right now doing business for TMZ. So you got Jim in front of the camera. You also have Melissa behind the camera. But let's go see what Harvey's up to. I like it. Morning everybody. Okay. Do you all catch the live child birth on Twitch? Awesome. We're going to talk to the woman today who gave birth on Twitch to We got her. Yep. Tens of thousands of people watched her give birth.

We asked the question, why? Well, um, okay. I got a lot on my mind. What's on your mind? Everyone is saying good morning. Good morning. Excited to excite. Well, h, not happy, but they like seeing the Jim and Melissa combo. Some do. There you go. Some do, but hello everyone. I guess people are already asking about the live child birth. So, she was streaming. This is going to be the future where, you know, everybody used to get baby pictures. Now, you're going to get video of you being born, not just from a VHS camera. No, that's what's going to happen. You're going to That's literally what's going to happen. You're going to get video of you being born. Well, I mean, you now know streaming is huge and it's going well for us. So obviously other people hopping in the stream game and you can pretty much stream anything. We will not show anybody in the office giving birth. We may show somebody at home but not here. Not here. Uh that is uh graphic but it's the way of the future. I'm telling you I you know I believe and you know people in this room think I'm crazy.

In five to 10 years, people are going to have full relationships with robots. And it's so obvious to me, it's just so obvious that people have stopped communicating. Um, they communicate by text, they communicate by email, they communicate with memes, but there isn't conversation anymore. And that is the core of social interaction. And when you start taking that away, which we've already done, um, and then you see a whole generation that's already grown up, that doesn't really hasn't really mastered the art of communication, of verbal communication. It's only going to get worse. And when people aren't communicating, they're not socializing properly. And when they're not socialized properly, they become isolated. And when you become isolated and lonely, you want that companionship. And meanwhile, um, somebody in the Silicon Valley is developing a robot that has human-like features that feels like a human being. And eventually, you will be able to have sex with that robot.

And that is what's going to happen, I think. And people are going to have full relationships with robots. and they're going to be able to choose what they say, how they interact with you. Do you only get approval from them and you basically pick your partner and that's going to happen within 5 to 10 years and a lot of people are going to opt out for this and I really believe it. People think I'm crazy in here, but I really believe that's going to happen. I mean, we're getting some comments society is doomed that people are already building relationships with AI like currently. ah they're building relationships with AI but it's not what I'm talking about you I am talking about full relationships where and again I the robots aren't there yet but you know there was a thing when I was you know in my 20s and 30s they you know the the thing that was being sold were these you know the uh plastic dolls and you know and sex shops it's the same thing only this time they can talk back to you.

They have a vocabulary. They'll even emote feelings. And I It's just going to happen. It's just real obvious. It's going to happen to me. Interesting comment. You're going to have to pay for people interaction in the future. Not really sure why. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. But, you know, and you say, "Oh, it's not as satisfying blah blah blah." Well, guess what? There are people who have relationships that are never going to work out because they don't know how to communicate.

And if you don't know how to communicate, you're never going to have a successful long-term relationship. So, when people get frustrated with that and then all of all of a sudden they say, "Well, I could either be lonely or I could get a robot that will keep me company that will talk to me when I want and not when I don't and do what I want and not do what I don't want them to do." Uh, we dropped handwritings on the wall. We dropped the poll. Would you date an AI? Well, not now, but Okay. Well, what did they say? Well, overwhelming overwhelmingly 91% said no. Right. But you're saying no now.

But how old are you? How old are you? Is somebody 18 watching this? Somebody who grew up without really learning the skill of communication. Because I'm not talking about if you're in your 40s or 50s. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people who grew up without conversation. Um, somebody said, "A real smart AI." Yes, why not? Someone to talk to when you come home from work and meal prep. They can do everything for you. Yep. They can do everything for you. It's not why didn't you cook dinner? It's not why didn't you take out the garbage. It's not any of that. It's you tell it what you want it to do and it does it. Um they're curious how how much do you interact with AI? You've you've used it on the show a couple times. I use it I use it sometimes. I'm using it more and more um to you know to either check my memory on something or to find out something I don't know.

I use it a lot. It's I personally for meal prepping and like exercise routines coming up with like different like exercise routines. It's very resourceful. It's AI is great. I think it's great. But people building an emotional attachment to it. That's where it gets I mean if you didn't see the movie Her watch it. It's really good. And that's so crude. But I'm telling you so obvious to me. I mean this is just like right in the face. Um, I agree with you, Harvey. I'm over 65, two sons in their early 40s. I never hear from them unless it's a text. Just the social the And they're in their 40s. Yeah. Just, you know, look, I have a lot of young people who work here and we have all we've had an increasing issue getting people to talk out loud. And they're more comfortable on Slack or texting. And when they need to make a phone call, they'd rather send an email or a text. And it's an issue. It is an issue.

And when you see that, you just figure what's it going to be like, especially for people who don't work in an office, who don't have, you know, people around them where they end up, you know, having to talk to them and then they get, you know, you work at home, you text your friends, and you become really lonely. And that's a big thing. Loneliness is a huge problem in America. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, and you can check me on AI. I believe the prior um the prior um surgeon general said loneliness was an epidemic in America. Can you check me on that on AI? Yeah. that it was I think the Biden um surgeon general said loneliness is an epidemic in America. I believe tell me if I'm right or wrong. I'm right. I know. But you can check me. What does it say? Yeah, he said that it was a Biden Biden s uh surgeon general. And it is and it's you think about it people they don't work around people you know everybody wants to work from home now which I think is a awful it's awful for mental health but you know you work from home you text your friends and your social interaction becomes more and more awkward you don't like doing it because it makes you nervous so you stop doing it and then you just become lonely it was uh Dr.

Vicc Murthy in 2023. I remember seeing it. Yep. Um so it's going to c it could cause significant public health threats and serious consequences for individual societal well-being. Yeah. And it's just going to get worse. See, Anakin's learning a lesson here. He's nodding his head. Nodding your head. Agree. Because I But this isn't new. He's one of the people you're not, you know, the prophet here. This is a This is an old thing. I feel like old as in screw you then. 10 years 10 years old. Not as old as Cena, but um we we asked the chat, would you supplement AI for loneliness? And currently 77% say no. It's [ __ ]. [ __ ]. You will. And and again, maybe it's not you, but it's the generation that's coming. And it's gonna happen, guys. Trust me, I'm a lawyer. Is it the Jackson generation? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Jackson's in Dallas um at a content creator conference and I told him to go see the uh Texas School Book Depository building to which he said the what um uh social anxiety goes up because they don't know what a real person is when they see one in real life.

Well, so they know what a real person is. It's the look I mean I'll be really honest. I look I you know my life is um I don't want to say solitary but you know during the week it's you know getting here really early leaving where I eat dinner and go to bed. And so I don't go out to big parties. I've never really done that, but you know, I went to one over the weekend and it made me anxious at the beginning especially just because I I wasn't used to being in crowds like that.

And, you know, I was thinking about, you know, other people who have no like, you know, I'm in an office filled with people all day. So we communicate all the, you know, we talk all the time. And so it's not like I don't talk to people, but being in like big social groups, it makes me nervous. And um and when people have no contact during the week and then on the weekend, they have to make choices. And their choices are what? To go out, you know, to a bar with a lot of people where you have to talk. No. So they go in a dating app, you know, and which is fine, but then where is the social interaction during the week and it becomes more and more difficult to then become that social being? Yeah. And then you're left with what I will say a lot of people in my generation, my age, when you ask them, oh, how did you meet your significant other? Dating.

It's dating apps. I know. And in my generation, it was at a bar. at the bar, out at a park, a party. Um, this is an interesting comment. I'm 79 and I love chat GPT. I feel like I'm renting a husband for $20 a month. Um, yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying. I'm starting to feel a little like Dr. Laura here, and I shouldn't be doing that. So, maybe I'm outside of my realm here. Want to talk about something else? I mean um do you think anxiety is on the rise or are people just taking talking about it more? No, it's definitely on the rise with good reason. I mean the world is going to hell and you know you look at just you look at what's going on right now and it's worse than when I was growing up.

It's just worse. And Justin Harris says after co I no longer have I'm no longer social. Co played a huge It [ __ ] people up. It [ __ ] people up and it's one of the reasons I think there's been a real backlash. Um it's funny because you know I was thinking am I going to get the COVID vaccine? and I would have jumped to say yes a while ago and I'm going to do it but it constantly makes me think we went overboard you know we went overboard with healthy people and that you know isolating the way we did you know where people you know afterward I I remember seeing people driving in their car alone wearing a mask thinking what the and I still see that and it's what are you doing? You know, and people are so freaked out by it that everybody I think they went overboard and I think, you know, taking kids and telling, you know, kids can't go to school. Why can't they go to school? Well, they may have grandparents.

I get it. Keep the grandparents away from the kids, but let the kids socialize. No, we are not going to do that. And it [ __ ] kids up really bad. Well, even even people my age where we didn't come to work for 2 years. I know. And I think that leads to the whole communic that leds to the communication where we all got used to just totally slacking and then everybody said, "Oh, no, we want to work at home. We want to work from home." The best thing I did was eventually say, "No more work from home." And I think I did it for people in the room as much as I did for the business because it's [ __ ] up just to be alone all the time and lose that skill. and and and I just think CO is going to have such a lasting effect on the whole generation of you know 16 year olds who you know from junior to senior through senior year they weren't around anybody and then all of a sudden those critical years of developing or you know 8 to nine those critical years of developing you never had them and it's going to have an impact and it's going to have an impact for the rest of their lives.

I really believe that uh people that lived during much worse pandemics and didn't overreact like some people today were the well also a lot of people died in other pandemics. M I mean when you look at the the the the plague you know a lot of people died and it it God okay I mean I'm when you look at who died there was a large percentage of people who were either obese or you know had un underlying serious medical problems and I get that they want to isolate And that makes sense.

But if you're not, if you're healthy and you're not old, um, and even old, if you're old, but in good shape and good health, even then, like, I regret being as extreme as I was. I regret it. I mean, I should have gone down to the beach. I mean, it's Oh, yeah. They even closed the beaches here and they closed like the hiking trails. I know. It was. And I really regret it. But certainly like somebody in their 20s or 30s who's healthy. I mean Jesus. Um going kind of back to just the social aspect. I agree. I'm at an age where I don't know how to meet people and I'm scared I'll be alone forever. I get it. I get it. And what you have to do is you have to just power through it.

I mean, I I know that sounds like, you know, just just, you know, suck it up, but it's kind of true that if you do it and you suck it up, the next time you do it will be easier. It, you know, if you really go through with it and it's hard and you can't assume you're going to go out somewhere and then meet somebody automatically, but you go out and you're nervous and then at the end you don't, you say, "Well, it didn't kill me." And you can do it again and again and again.

I mean that's just it's the only way of living. I gotta tell you it's the only way of living. It's just insane the way people are isolating right now. You a lot of people are agreeing with you on this topic. We should uh listen to Harvey people have been around. Um, I mean it's really true that you know when I was growing up there was no computer. There was there was TV and that was actually a distraction. My mom used to kick me out of the house if I watched too much TV cuz she said you got to play with your friends.

And boy was she smart. And I never knew I never understood it. I I viewed it as punishment. And I don't even know if she thought through why I needed to do it. It was just normal. But I did it. And boy was she right. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one going through stuff like this. Everybody's going through this. Everybody's going through this because what happens is it's not just you. It's you lose your friends who are victims to this. So there are people who you communicated with that you can't have that connection anymore because they don't have it. So it's not just you, it's the person on the other end too. And that ultimately affects you because it closes your social circle and eventually you know unfortunately it becomes way too small if even existent and I think that's just a huge problem in this country right now.

Um, I used to talk to people in coffee shops and such. No more. They're either on their phones or they have AirPods. I was at the gym today and somebody walked past me and I said either I I I said, "Morning." And they just kind of looked at me and walked past me and I I remember and I I said kind of murmured out loud. I said, "What's it to you?" And I said, "Good morning." You know, it's like and it it's just it was so weird.

I was thinking about it today and I people just there's they they devalue communication because they can't do it well anymore. Mhm. It's really sad. It's really sad. The chat does want me to inform you. Do you know about the Palisades fire arrest? Yeah. That they made an arrest. Yeah, a couple there's a handful of people commenting on that that thank God they found the person responsible. Yeah. Uh now, what I don't know is was because I didn't see the press conference. Was this person intending to start a fire or was it negligent? Cuz I read fireworks that it was intentional. Boy, can you imagine? One of the pieces of was a an image he had created on chat GPT of like a city on fire.

Hey and and you know if you remember u back then um the winds that day were perfect for a fire to do what it did. They were apparently he started it on like New Year's Day and then it just sat there and Is that right? It was like smoldered. Initially started on New Year's Day and it smoldered for five days.

The seventh. Yeah. Smoldered for like five, six days before it. How could that be? Really? I mean, that's what they said in the what the Fed said. So, it was fireworks. But wait a minute. So, it was fireworks. Not fire. No, not Well, December 31st would be Well, I don't know if I don't know what he used. What did he use to actually But New Year's Day people do fireworks. I know, but what did he use to start the fire? Did they say that? It wasn't like an an inadvertent like he was doing setting off fireworks and it Wow.

They're saying he intentionally started people died fire right in Palisades. Mhm. Did Did anybody die? Yeah. Are they charging him with that with manslaughter? They're saying that he video like this is a screen grab. No, not as of yet. I mean, that's an interesting legal argument that if you start an arson fire um and somebody dies, there's kind of a causal connection and it's certainly reckless if not intentional. And I don't see how why they Hey, Jason. Jason, come here. If somebody intentionally starts a fire Yeah. and an arsonist and it burns, you know, through a neighborhood and somebody dies, why would that not be manslaughter? It's at the very least felony murder, right? Somebody dies in the commission of a felony, which would give you you can make that argument. Um, but what about manslaughter? Because that's murder is kind of that's there's a causal link. Yeah. No, it's at least Are you saying it shouldn't even be manslaughter? No, I'm saying it could be manslaughter.

No, it definitely could, but it's actually worse. It's actually murder. It could be felony murder because arson is a felony and under somebody dies federal statute committing intentional arson where somebody dies you can get it's cap it's a capital offense it's death penalty applies assuming the allegation is true it's the case federal federal death penalty well if it's on federal land this wasn't on federal land this is being charged by the feds he's been arrested by the feds he's being tried in the central district of California what's the federal jurisdiction I'd have to look into it but uh I don't know I don't know off the top of my head because does seem to be a localized state crime, but he's being charged by in federal court. So, I'll I'll find out. Let me find that out. That Yeah, that's Would you find out? Yep, I will.

That's interesting, huh? Boy, I drove through Malibu over the weekend. My god, it's still It is still like It's just unbelievable. It is unbelievable. All the houses that are gone, the buildings. It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. Um, you want to go back to social interaction whatever. So, social interaction should be taught in school just basic communication skills to help avoid social anxiety. Yeah. You teach it what is remote learning of it's like how do you teach that? You don't to me it's like you don't teach it.

You do it. You do it. This is not something you teach. It's like okay everybody say good morning. It's not something you teach. Now, Babcock, Babcock is a social being. He he knows how to communicate. I I'm He absolutely does. Babcock and and and and let me tell you why. He worked in a restaurant and a bar. I did. And so he communicated with people for a long time in a restaurant and a bar. And I think it helped you as a producer. No, I think so too. I honestly like some of the people I work with in restaurants were some of the most talented people that I've met. They're like really good at communicating, really good at having conversations with people.

And it it helps cuz that's what we like so much of what we do is making phone calls to people and and getting people to talk to you and open up. It's absolutely 100% true. How responsible should the parents be held for the lack of social interaction? You know, I mean, yeah, they're responsible, but about kids, not but I I I don't know. I don't have kids, but I just think if I did, how do you keep kids off of, you know, playing games and and you know, being on, you know, when I was a kid, you go you go knock on your friend's door and ask him if he wants to have a catch. You like you don't do those things anymore. I don't think it's over. Yeah. So, I mean, well, it's more dangerous now, too. That that's also something.

But there's there's Eric's lurking. Harvey might need the mic on. It's not like Yeah. Harvey down. Okay. Oh, you can go loud. You sure? Yeah. Okay. Harvey mike uprivia and Chris and with a suggestion likes it, but he wanted to get your approval first. The le and the lad. [Laughter] I'm fine with it. Okay. Uh yeah, we're starting a trivia. Eric's starting this whole trivia podcast, which is actually a good idea. Yeah, really fun. It's gonna be really fun. It's really fun. All your favorite TMZ personalities under one league competing to see who knows the most about pop culture. So, Neta, who um is on our staff, and Chris, who is on our staff, they um we're finalizing team names, and theirs is the le and the lad.

It came from her. This was Sarah. How dare you say that, sir? I'm gay. I can say it's fine. But it came from her, but yes. So, we just wanted to make sure we're good with that. But you got you got Jackson and I on the team. Jackson and Jim are on a team together. some some old some veteran experience and some youth. Yeah, it's a good it's a good balance of teams.

It's some fun personality. So, it's gonna be fun. Stay tuned. We'll let you know about it later. Are you about ready to start the uh Twitch? Yep. Up right now. Okay. What about lunch? Uh yeah, I do have a lunch option for you guys. Oh, already working the lunch options. Um, either a poke bowl from where? Uh, Pacific Catch. Okay. Or you know what? I looked at this and I was I'll just do it. The chicken breast salad, which has chicken breast, tomatoes, onion. No, no, no, no. Not that. Um, the Milano salad, which has smoked turkey breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, mozzarella, and tomatoes. That sounds So, it's either the Milano salad or the pokey.

All right. Pokey or a salad? We will throw that poll up. Okay, let's do this. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Like I mean, isn't his defense like Okay. Why were the feds Why did Why was it Is it felony murder? No, he's not facing in that. And I think we know why now. Why? He called 911 right away to like report it. So, wait a minute. So it wasn't intentional then. He maliciously set the fire. That's the But then why did he call 911? He calls Exactly. But then he he calls 911. They they actually come and put out the fire. He follows them and is takes photos as they're fighting the fire.

Well, this is like the fire chief starting fires, which happened in LA with I believe. Not a fire chief, but anyway. Well, no, no. It's a concept of an arsonist who then comes to the rescue. I don't even know if it's even that. But whatever the point is, they're there and they're fighting the fire. They believe obviously that they have put down the fire, but and then a week later, a week later it kicks it up kicks up again. Oh, what an interesting defense. Did the fire department did their failure, right? You his defense is like, you can get me for maliciously starting a fire, whatever, but you guys screwed up, but you put that fire out. I reported it. You put it out. So there's another point. Anyway, anyway, we have our guest women. But when you start the fire and then you call 911, what you're doing is it's it's the idea that they want to be the ones coming to the rescue.

I mean, this happens all the time. Happens all the time. He I one other point, though. Apparently, it allegedly smolder I just listened to the US attorney's press conference. It smoldered underground for 7 days. So he lights a fire and smolders. Are they going to have a tough time proving causation that this is Well, no, but what Charles is saying is the fire department came out. They said they put it out, but it wasn't fully out and then erupted. Know that. I don't know. I don't know. If they knew that the fire was still smoldering, they would have put it out. So they thought the fire was dead. 7 days later comes up and they they're surmising. In the law, this is called causation. It's really interesting. It's a federal crime under Harvey, you'd ask me. Uh it's a federal crime. It can be. They didn't say it during the press conference, but if it affects interstate commerce, it can be a federal crime. Um, if there's any land, I don't know if any of that's national park land or not.

If that, then it would be a federal crime. Or if it relates to hate crime, terrorism, or civil rights, they might charge a terrorism crime. I I don't I don't know. Um, or obstructs it caused injury or death to federal officers. It didn't do. I don't understand why this is federal, but they didn't they didn't address definitely was No, it's Yeah. Okay. Oh, great. Um, sign the deal. That's great. Okay. Uh, names. Pardon me. Well, which which names are we using? I don't know. and Fanny or Fan Fandy. Fandy and Brian. And Brian. And what's your baby's name? Luna. Okay, you can put them up. Hey guys, it's Harvey and Charles. Congratulations. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you. Wow. I think this is a first for us, right? I don't know if we've Is she She's a Ever had a newborn. She's a big baby, isn't she? Yeah, she's she's pretty big. Yeah, they weighed her at 8 lbs last night. Wow. Yeah. Wait a minute. And so this all happened last night. Yes. Uh 3:00 a.m. Yeah. So 9 hours ago. This is definitely never Have you ever seen those Surf Pro commercials where it says looks like it never even happened? I mean, we're looking at you guys. Okay. Well, I haven't I haven't slept yet. So, okay. We're gonna we're gonna move because we know you got stuff to do. Here we go. What's that? Okay, I think it could be. Welcome to TMZ Live. Um, you have obviously seen um pictures of newborns um that the newborn can always keep as he or she grows up and you can see what you look like as a baby.

Well, there is a new kid in town who really is going to know what it looked like to be a newborn. Yes. Her name is Luna, and she arrived on a Twitch stream uh with tens of thousands of people watching it happen. Uh that's because mom happens to be a very famous Twitch streamer uh named Fandy. Uh normally people are watching her play video games. Um this was not a game. This was not a game. a watched uh her give birth and uh Fandy and her husband Brian joining us right now as well as Luna. Uh welcome to TMZ Live. Hi. Thank you. Well, first of all, we should say that this happened just last night. How many a few hours ago? Nine hours ago. Uh she was born at like 2:42 this morning. So like like nine hours ago. Yeah. So 9 hours ago. Um, you guys don't look the worst for wear, I got to say. So, good for you. Uh, congratulations. A lot of adrenaline. Congratulations, number one. Um, and number two, why why do this? Um, well, I've been streaming for about 10 years and I've kind of documented the past 10 years of my life pretty much.

Um, and a lot of the actual like pregnancy. We did a gender reveal on stream and it was just a thing that I wanted to share with my community that I've had for the past 10 years and so we did it. I got permission from Twitch, made sure it was all good and not against the terms of service. They were very supportive and I am curious what Twitch said to you. What what were the things you What was where was the line for Twitch? what could be shown and what couldn't be shown. I basically was just like, I have this idea that I want to do.

Is it cool if I do it? And as long as it's, you know, I don't show anything that nobody needs to see. No nudity and no blood. Yeah. No, no large amounts of like copious unnecessary blood. So, yeah. Well, no blood or no unnecessary blood. Those are all necessary at that point. Two two very big different things. Basically, just not a focus on it. Oh yeah. So we should say uh obviously you seen the video it was a um you had a water birth at home. There were a lot of people and not having gone through a child birth myself seemed like there were a lot of people in the room.

Was were Fandy. Were you even aware of I think I counted nine people um who were there. Some of them documenting what was going on. Actually I guess 10 including the camera person. Yeah. Um, I want to be honest, a lot of them are like good friends of mine that have, you know, been there for me and throughout the pregnancy. Um, a lot of them are streamers themselves. And then I had two midwives there during the entire process, though. I'm not going to lie.

I just I don't know who was holding my hand, who was who was pushing on me. I was so out of it. But yeah, it was a group effort. Really glad they were there cuz it was just subbing in and out with the rubbing her back and keeping her supported and they were all amazing. you know, you've done streaming, you've done Twitch for so long. Um, it really does feel, I mean, you look at what Kaisenat was doing last month, you look at what you're doing now, and it really is like the Truman Show. And I'm wondering is, you know, is what you're doing and Kaisenat and others, does it kind of is shattering the concept of privacy that privacy is no big deal anymore? um the way we used to see it. Um I do I don't know how to answer that. I think a a lot more of a of our daily lives are definitely open to be shared. You know, as long as you're fine sharing it and people are interested in watching it, I mean, I don't see any harm in it.

Um as long as you're as long as you do it in a respectful way. And I think I think we manage that well enough. Yeah. By the way, my question my question wasn't a criticism. It was just an observation that privacy just seems to be I don't know. it's going by the wayside for good or bad or whatever, but it just seems to be more and more and more of everybody's daily lives is definitely available to be seen.

I think it's I think it's a great thing. Um there's a lot of guys, for instance, that have no idea what goes into a birth. I sure as I sure as hell didn't. I had no idea what it was going to be that intense. Um and I it was very educational. So, and it was it was great to just it was great to just share it with with everybody. Um, you know, there was a moment, I guess it was right before Luna arrived, and you were, Fandy, like very vocal, uh, as moms who are giving birth will be, but I think Brian, you just said it, like you hadn't been through it and didn't know how intense it was.

I think for a lot of people watching also, you're right, they did and there was concern, I guess, hearing that kind of you moaning like that. What if I'm wondering if you guys had thought about obviously you're sharing all this with your your um your family there on Twitch, but did you think about what if something went wrong? That was one thing that I was as I was watching the clip this morning, I thought so brave of you to do this because things can go wrong. Did was that something you had discussed? Um it's something we discussed with the midwives that we went with. um they had a plan in place in case something was to happen. They have um a hospital that was on standby if I needed to be transferred at any point in time and they were very on top of it. They had done like thousands of births before, so I felt pretty comfortable. So, how many eyeballs did you get on this? I mean, did you break if you didn't break a record for this? Something's wrong.

Um, I think on my personal channel last night it peaked at around 30,000 and that wasn't including everybody else who was also watching along that had thousands of viewers as well. So, uh, I didn't catch I mean I wasn't Yeah, we haven't had time to go over any of the specific numbers part, but it was it was a lot more than we expected to be honest. Um, we were we were more or less expecting a lot of the people that come on a daily basis and watch to tune in and uh it it it ended up being a lot more than we expected. You know, you should have done it so that everybody who watched had to send baby clothes to you, you know, and it could have been like, okay, when Luna is 6 months, when Luna is a year, you would have to you wouldn't have to you would have to buy clothes for like 15 years.

I made a joke that everyone that was there when she was born was going to owe child support. So, I am surprised as many people stayed around as they did. Well, listen, congratulations. Yeah, congrats. It's really sweet. It's so good talking to you guys. Bri Brian, you are It's like you are having such trouble concentrating on us because you're just staring at the baby. She's She's just so beautiful. I'm just I'm just in awe. It's actually just too much for me right now. Congrats, guys. Congrats. Thank you. That was really sweet. Yeah, that was fun. I wonder what the wonder what the comments were on their live stream. Yeah. Yeah. Probably much kinder than right than ours than others.

No [ __ ]. Oh, people in the our people in our chat are questioning why they would do this. It's all about money, money, money. And well, she does have a brand. Yeah, why not? She has a very successful brand on Twitch. Why not? What's the problem with it? You don't have to watch. But the difference is, you know, there is a a difference in kind in watching someone play a video game and watching someone give birth, right? But you don't have for her, I mean, she can do whatever she wants with her channel.

And Twitch was cool with it. I wonder how they described the actual I know. I asked her like what did they not want? I wanted the exact language like nothing below the waist. No, I said there you go again. Oops. I got to get a paper towel. Or you got to stop putting the Oh, it wasn't even open. Yes, it was. No, there's water all over the place. No, it burst open when it No, I was drinking out of it. Well, then why Excuse me, Charles. I don't know, but it was drinking. I got it. Why? Why would the the lid is literally closed? It wasn't closed. I'm looking at the can. Look. Okay. Well, I was drinking out of it. Okay, here I am, weirdo. Okay, if anybody slips, I'm giving you warnings. So, there's no workers comp in this.

Okay, [Music] famous last words. Okay. Hey, can I go uh Oh, sparkling water. That's the future. You just share everything with the world, right? Nice. What if the baby doesn't want that? Yeah. Like when the B Luna is going to grow up and be like, "I can't believe you guys did this to me." File a lawsuit against mom and dad. Weren't you the one that came out at 2:00 in the morning? Yeah. Uh the chat's kind of leaning towards what happened to privacy? The baby didn't ask for this. But it but by definition, it is privacy. You make the decision. Ridiculous. Yeah. I mean, I guess the baby could say they Oh, please. What? That's so wild. Remember, didn't that's the whole thing? The kid from the Nirvana album cover. I know. One of the dumbest lawsuits. Thank you. In the history of the world. Same thing. Cheers. Well, now you've opened it. That's different. Um, who Yeah. Who cares if she has a brand? Well, people watched it.

I mean, there were 8,000 8,000 people watched it. That's And it's always the whole point of if you don't like it, you can always watch away. Just don't watch it. There's something about I don't know that it's I don't know that it's harming society in any way. Remember the giraffe? Remember the giraffe? I was thinking about it and I was like, I'm not going to bring that up with them. I was going to say this is the last time I remember a birth being watched this much.

But that giraffing lasted days. Yeah. And people just watched to see when it was going to give birth. So there you go. Uh, okay. What do we do in his A2? Oh god. Oh my god. What is it you don't like about them? No. No. No. It's He used to be a big fan of theirs. No, I am. It's like we're doing everything below the waist in a I mean, well, just as we didn't show anything for the birth, we're not going to show anything on this segment either.

I'd be pretty pumped, too, if my girlfriend Huh. Yeah. made a song about it. Look, I mean, it's I can show everything they want to and make you pay for it on that other site. Why can't they show a live birth on Twitch? Yeah, I don't have no problem with it. I have zero problem with it. Some people are mad because they can't do it in terms of maybe having their own brand and audience. They can. It just takes time to build it.

And I like them too. Everyone can if you want to. And she had the It was yesterday. I know. I It was last It was It was 2 in the morning. People People are saying she looked amazing for just giving birth. I know. Um I like both of them. Okay. Uh, let's do um let's do Travis. Here we go. Okay. Okay. We are going to keep it below the waist. Uh, yes. but clean sort of uh this time it's Travis Kelce's waste that we are referring to because thank god he has this podcast with his brother Jason so he can respond to the innuendo that was hurled his way by his fiance in the song wood um where he is like a redwood so she says I'll let you uh handle that part of it and uh he has opened her thighs so she says is. So, it's pretty graphic that song, but it's about Travis, but it is about Travis.

And so, Jason on the New Heights podcast wanted Travis to be honest and tell people what he thinks about the fact Taylor wrote this song about his junk parts. How do you feel about Wood? Let's ask this. How do you feel about Wood? It's a great song. Do you feel cocky? Do you feel cocky about the song Wood? No. the the whole the any song that you know she references me. That's not just any song. It's very like this is a very specific you. I love that girl. So what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in any Well, it's not just you though. It's a it's an appendage. It's not just you as a It's a very specific thing. I think you're not understanding the song. Travis, come on. No way. Redwood tree ain't hard to see. I thought redwood was a little bit, you know, that was that's a generous word, I think. Wow. A little dig there. I mean, Travis Travis, are you saying that wasn't appropriate or Travis Travis played that shtick perfectly? It was sort of like played it dumb.

Like, what are you talking about? I don't know what that song is about. I mean, that was so Well, and Taylor, it is an awkward. We know it's about Travis, but Taylor's also said it's like knock on wood superstition. Yeah, I know. No, she said that's what her mom thinks it is about. I know. You know what? Good for I'm just upset that people like want all of her albums to be like they're coming out of Shakespeare's mouth.

Like, we need to let the girl have fun. This song is the best song on the album and I stand by it. It is so good. The little Jackson 5 alleged like sample in there. It is so catchy and I'm sick of that. Do they really have a Jackson 5? Sounds sounds very Jackson interpolation perhaps of Jackson Fire, but it's so catchy. It's so good. And I've been telling all my friends this is my favorite song and they're looking at me like I'm crazy. I'm like, you guys just clearly are not listening. Why didn't they release that song since that's the song that got all the attention? Exactly. If it is the catch song, you're asking good questions. That to me seems like a better lead single than Betavilia. I 100% agree with you. I think this is the best song on the album and I'm tired of people being like her lyrics don't mean anything.

I think her lyrics are just like silly and goofy. Even Opalite would have been is going to be playing I dabble dabble in get out of here. You don't understand this. It's going to be playing in every Old Navy across the country here in a couple of the only songs I know. Okay, those are good ones. Those are good ones to pick. Hi, I'm Jamie from Cleveland and one I want to say I agree completely. It is the best song on the album, but I just love Jason Kelsey playing Diane Sawyer and just getting the hard-hitting questions that uses want to know from Travis that literally hard-hitting, but Oh, yeah. No. Oh, now I get it. Now I get it. Exactly. But no, I just love it. I love that um Travis is being a little political. He's going with the whole superstition vibe.

But um I have I was dying at the Japanese maple comment. I just think Oh yeah. Oh yeah. We didn't we didn't play that. Jason referred to himself as a more of a Japanese maple which is a tiny little shrub shrub. Uh, you realize Opel's the other song about Travis. Oh, I know. That's his birthday. We're getting people talking about things. We're so proud of And then also people upset that we're covering. You remember we were Easter eggs with her release. You're making leaps. I don't know if I'm proud, but you're proud. How do you not cover Taylor Swift? How do you not cover Taylor Swift? It's like Walter Kankite not covering the Vietnam War in 73.

Okay, that seems really disrespectful. I understand what you Wow, you and metaphors, man. I don't know. Well, you got it. No. Yes, I I get it. Taylor went from Joe Jonas to a real big man. Yeah. Why the shot at Joe Jonas? Like I said, there's a lot of comments about See, that's my issue. It's like when you write the song about one person, you're kind of making clear shots. By the way, you tried to set me up. You tried to set me up and I'm I'm not falling for I would just love for somebody to knock that over other than me. Um Yeah. I mean, it's like cuz she does go after every other ex. Well, yeah. And look, I I hope it doesn't happen, but someday Oh, she changes redwood to what? chops down the tree.

Japanese maple. Japanese maple. Should things go south, that's what's going to happen. Too many salables. Yeah. Not everyone loves Taylor Swift. No, that's true. But the majority do. No, it's true. She is more beloved than just about anybody else in terms of percentages, I think. Is this the first song she's made that says something positive about a man? Well, isn't love story um kind of a positive song? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Love story kind of. You dabbled in there. You're like, isn't it? Love story is positive. Kind of positive. I don't know. Love story is positive. It is a positive one. Yeah. Um she has a lot of positive songs. I don't blame Taylor from uh going from Mickey Mouse to Hercules. Wow. That's really They're taking they're taking shots without Mickey Mouse.

Well, that would be Matt Mad Healey, right? It's Matt Healey because that's the last. That's very true. Well, Joe Jonas was a Disney kid, though. I know, but he's not. Well, they're going maybe they're going from the start to the finish, I guess. Or maybe the metaphor is Anyway. Okay, let's not talk about Taylor. All right, we're done with Taylor. Um, Harvey and Charles, do you enjoy that live feed, the the way of talking to us for you guys to say swear words like the f word or we're on that one. It is nice to be able to speak freely and not worry about, you know, I love this live standards and practices. Say that. Yeah, I love this live stream. Also, my mom can't get on a live stream, so I say whatever the [ __ ] I want. I know some other people's moms.

Sorry. Yeah. But it's not about that we can swear. It's just it's it's so good that it's to be just real. Like we're really like we wanted the whole idea was to come into our office for a couple hours. And we didn't know how that was going to work. Um and we're going to have to hide things and whatnot. And we don't I mean well I mean we do but the more we do it the more the more we do it the more you're just used to what monitors have to be down and right um Melissa and the camera operators understand what not to shoot sentencing like on Friday where people got to see what this newsroom was like for five six hours and how we build out the stories and follow it.

But it's also just fun talking to people. I mean that's this is my favorite part where we can talk back and forth and even like when I when I used to do talk radio it's one person at a time and so you know you spend four minutes with one person on the phone here we can do just constant and it's bet I mean because radio was my favorite medium now this is here and here I love this I love live stream they went there to here what segment is this delta oh are we Doing Bad Bunny now.

I'm going to pick what I really want and then say pokey as a second option. I got it now. Okay, I get it. Now you've game the system. So true. I'm going to totally game it now. That's what I do. People in LA and New York is just as guilty of this. Like they just assume that everybody knows everything that they do. This is just the way the world is. Well, look it up. It's hard to get pokey in the flyover. Yeah. Yeah. Good point. Look it up. You got as much fresh fish. You wouldn't be Yeah. Tell me. Here you go. The best one of the best ever sushi I ever had was was in Omaha, Nebraska. Austin. Same. Austin, Texas. Yeah. Keep Austin weird. There's a great Austin um sushi place. Really? It's I forget the name of it now, but it's really popular.

Huh? Uchi sushi. We Wait a minute. Did we go that when when the cat peed on me? I was with other friends, but I was I What kind of vacation did you guys have? No. Grumpy. Where did I speak at? You went to No, South by Southwest. South by Southwest. And Grumpy Cat was was there and they gave me Grumpy Cat to hold and [ __ ] cat peed on. RIP decade ago. Holy. But wasn't the sushi great?

That cat lived a brief miserable life. Grumpy cat. Here we go. He's going to be part of the segment. We have a picture of that, don't we? There he is. Oh, of the pee on you. For sure. That's a big deal. Casey, do you have a picture of that miserable cat peeing on the site? Yeah, we put it on the site. We put it on the site. I got a picture with him in the office.

He was He was a celebrity. I held him. I still had jet never seen people more excited in here than But it was so long ago. I still had jet black hair. It was a different time. There he is. Suz Oh, jet black. I mean, even Okay, let's do Mike Johnson. Where are you? I don't know. Hurry up.

There he is. Casey's gonna find it. Comes for all of us, man. Yeah. Enjoy it while you can. You don't. Okay. What a time for Bad Bunny. I don't think he has heard as many old stodgy politicians speak about him as he has since the Super Bowl announcement. And the latest entry to that list is um Mike Johnson, the speaker of the house, who uh is also very critical, as you'd expect. I think that he is going to be most people on the right critical of the fact that Bad Bunny is selected to do the Super Bowl halftime. I I don't think that's true. I don't think you don't think I don't think most people in the right um are against Bad Bunny. I don't think he's too popular. And you know, and and the reality is Hold on. There are a lot of You're going to tell me it's not a right-wing speaking point.

There are a lot to come out and say crap about Bad Bunny. Maybe a speaking point, but there are a lot of Latinos who are Trumpers who I don't think are against Bad Bunny. And I think there are a lot of people who are not Latino who are not against Bad Bunny. Super popular and people love him. And I don't think he didn't say that people don't love him. I obviously that's why they selected him to do the Super Bowl halftime. I have no issue. He should be doing the Super Bowl halftime. But you are fooling yourself if you think that people on the right are regardless of how they feel.

All people on the right are saying this. Hey Mike, how do you feel about Bad Buddy Super Bowl show? He's not the person I'm talking about. I How do I feel about it? I think it's a bad choice because people don't know his music. There you go. Well, wait a minute. People don't know his music. There you go. It's the Super Bowl. It's football is an American sport. It's an American game. It's an American. the way that's not what that's not what you said in the morning meeting and you said earlier you didn't like and I don't I do I I I don't like some of the things that he said but I just think more so than anything else he's a bad choice okay Mike Johnson has a different opinion and Mike Johnson I don't think is speaking for all Republicans I do not believe it but here's what he said any reaction to Bad Bunny being chosen as the Super Bowl halftime I didn't even know who Bad Bunny was but it sounds like a terrible decision uh in my view from what I'm hearing What's that? How come? Well, it sounds like uh he's not someone who who appeals to a broader audience.

And I think, you know, there's so many eyes on the Super Bowl. A lot of young impressionable children. And I think in my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not not somebody like this. Somebody like this. What does like this mean? I don't know. Tell me, Harve. What does What does like Hold on. You need somebody like this. Somebody like this. You need no greater You need no greater proof than that that Bad Bunny is a flash point in this culture war than the fact that Mike Johnson, speaker of the house, said Lee Greenwood. Lee Greenwood is the guy you trot out to do, I'm proud to be an American with the Blue Angels flying over. It's a Trump rally. It's a Trump rally. So So that is that is true. You may not want to believe that this is a a right-wing leftwing thing going on, but it obviously is because he picked Lee Greenwood out.

He didn't say Madonna. He didn't say another popular artist. He wasn't talking about what Mike said. What did they say about Kendrick? He didn't say anything about Kendrick. Well, did he say something last year? Different point in the country. Different point in the time because he doesn't think Kendrick Lamar is anti-American. He's If you say Lee Greenwood, obviously the uh the implication is that this guy is anti-American because Lee Greenwood is the most American. But where did that come from? That Bunny is a Puerto Rican. He's an American citizen. That's what's disgusting about this. Have his tour here in America. That that come. I'm not saying it. I'm saying that's what they think, though. We've had Shakira. We've had the Rolling Stones. This guy's an American. So, this is not the person to have this idea of of even intimating that he's anti-American because he has a problem with it to be plucking his fans as they're walking.

They went after priest today. I mean, it it is fair criticism. And you may disagree with him, but people disagree all the time on issues. When I was I'm sorry, but when I was in college and we were protesting the Vietnam War, there were Richard Nixon was calling all of the protesters anti-American. Richard Nixon was right about that. And we were you were very loud. We were on the right side up for change. I don't know about the right side of that. My daughter's name Nixon and Nixon. That's a different argument. But you're pro war pro- Vietnam war. Pro Nixon. Those people were undermining American Where are we going? war effort. Hi, I'm Melissa from Pennsylvania and I was just taken aback by Speaker Mike Johnson saying that Bad Bunny shouldn't headline because it's more than just ignorance. It's a straight up microaggression. I grew up in a white adoptive family that commonly used talking points like not somebody like this to talk down about brown and black people. And as a multi-racial Latina, I know how important representation is, especially for families on the biggest stage in America, he uplifts Puerto Rico and Afroindigenous roots.

And he just speaks to a lot of things that Americans can relate to. Yeah. And a lot of Americans do relate to. P.S. But he's a great performer. How about that? And then there's that also. All right. So, we dropped the poll. Ask the chat. Oh, yeah. I'm interested. So is Lee Greenwood. Let's be fair. How many songs was going to do? One song and then it's done. When you got a banger like that, you don't need another song. Also, listen to song will be his first. By the way, I love Bad Bunny doesn't know the names, but whatever. But he's heard them before. Lee Greenwood has one song, but it's an anthem. And Bad Bunny doesn't have also not the song. You guys know like the type of it's entertainment, right? They're trying to keep an audience through the halftime show. You don't get misty. You don't get misty every time you hear Proud to be American. How many guess what? Adele is a huge performer.

She hasn't done a halftime show. You know why? Because her songs are a little downbeat. They're downbeat. We're trying to keep going here. Nobody's doing You're wrong. Then you just do like a remix. You uptempo it. You put green stadium open. No bunny will bunny. No, he will not. Yes, he will. He's already open. There's no I don't know about that. They will not be in he literally. Don't forget this is it. Sometimes it's the only way to actually handle you. Don't forget this is the Metallica Green Day. I I mean there are so many acts that they could have brought back. Why? Well, why are you against You're against You're against B because of the immigration his immigration. Yes, you are. You said you don't like you said what you said this morning. I don't like what he said. I am not I don't care about that for this. There's a lot. You said it this morning. There's a ton of people. Hollywood is all liberal. If I didn't if I if I didn't if I shot everybody who I don't agree with, I would have have a damn thing to watch or listen to.

So, I don't care about that. It's a bad choice in Spanish and it's an American event. It's an It's an event where you've got primarily English speakers watching. You said last week that it was smart because the NFL is trying to go beyond the United States. And if you're going to go beyond standpoint, it is. Yes. Okay. So, the NFL is making a strategic decision in its expansion plan. They care more about money than their fans. Yes. True. I think They're growing their Bad Bunny. You will see. You will see. The fans are going to love this.

I don't even know what we're arguing. Fans are going to love this. But we I disagree with you. I have you. You see Have you seen him perform? Yes. Not in not live. But have you seen him perform? Yeah, of course. And he puts on a good show. Wait. You think him hopping around in his boxer shorts is going to bring the house down? He is a great performer. That's what he is. He reminds you to performance. He played that one clip in the Eminem monologue and now you think that's his whole performance. He did not as bad as Mike.

He did hop around his boxers and you're saying he's like like all of a sudden he's the greatest performer. It's not going to be like Beyonce. Do you remember Ricky Martin at the Grammys? Yes. And do you remember that one that just that one song launched him? Yes. That will happen with big with bad already. Do you want to live? Remember uh Prince in the rain? Spanish. Uh that's true. Spanish. Prince in the rain performing perfectly. You're going to have an iconic moment like that. There's no way. But Ricky Martin was a true performer. He was in Manudo for years. This is Bad Bunny is a different kind of artist. My god. Let's just let's just call it what. All right. So the also Levita Loco wasn't all in Spanish. It wasn't all in Spanish, but the title's Spanish and also he never did the Super Bowl halftime show. So that's and she bangs was all in English. I don't know where that gets us, but also didn't the Super Bowl. Oh my god. I This is This is why soccer topic.

I want to know if you guys feel the way I do sometimes. This is why a lot of people are just speaking to hear themselves. Can I just say he plays the victims? He plays the victim. I'm not so playing the victim. You're playing the victim. I'm not playing the victim. I triggered him. I'm just pointing out something that it's sometimes they're just speaking just to hear themselves. triggered like they're not actually moving the conversation along. If you're talking a lot about me as you always got me on your mind.

Oh god. And you're so needy. It makes me sick. Who brought up Lee Greenwood? I did. You did. 61% of our chat does not know who Lee Green. Of course they don't. Ask them if they know. So I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. They don't. What else? Finish it. And I hope for the men that it's got a lot of good lyrics. Okay. From the guy who will do anything to sing. And he know he he knows literally one line of the song.

Lee Green would just follow Trump around singing this song. Why would he bring up? Because Trump because that's Mike Johnson's jam. What if Okay. I would I would have been down with the village people. I would have been down with the military better choice. No, I would have been down with them. Oh, imagine if Trump goes out there. I mean, it is in San Francisco. What about San Francisco? Hold on. It's not gay. It's not a gaya. How dare you? You want to get sued? Not a gay anthem, but they're not performing anymore. That's why the the NFL probably did want to go with like, "Oh, not a gay anthem. Sorry. Can't do it." Okay, where are we going? You liar. You'd be okay with the Village People. Well, I guess Dolly Parton. No, the guy from the Village People is a fan of mine. What did she say? This is why did she post something or No one cares about the halftime show in soccer.

That's why it's a better sport. You don't need to keep people around for halftime. They come in anyway. Well, today obviously I'm here doing some commercials for the Grand Opry. But before I got started, I wanted to say I know lately uh everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. Anyway, uh there just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you'd know that I was okay and I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working. Okay, got it. There. She said a couple of interesting things there. There's no proof of life. Where was the newspaper? October 8th, she said. She just said the date.

I know. How about Hold up. What if it was October 8th, 2024? I know. Here we go. Uh, we want to hit the We want to hit the pull outs before we get to the What? Pull outs. We don't need pull outs. We can just say it. We just say that that her sister said if her sister asked for prayers and now she says she regrets it. Blah blah. I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone. Who's doing this? Alexa. She'd been a little under the weather.

Yeah. Okay. No. No. No. Okay. Here we go. This is is it? Me too. Got it. Well, Dolly Parton has been on the minds of millions of her fans uh since I don't late yesterday when her sister said, "I need everyone to pray for Dolly." that she is really under the weather and her sister seemed concerned that this was going to be almost life or death. Well, there's a reason that Dolly had cancelled uh the beginning of her residency in Vegas, right? And that was the beginning of what's going on with Dolly and then it was followed by put her in your prayers and now the sister is apologizing.

Sister's apologizing, which we'll get to in a moment because more importantly, Dolly herself is reaching out to her fans and saying, "I'm going to be okay." Well, today's October the 8th, and obviously, I'm here doing some commercials for the Grand Opry. But before I got started, I wanted to say I know lately uh everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. Anyway, uh there just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you'd know that I was okay and I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working.

So, she said Interesting. She didn't call out her sister at all. Well, but what I found interesting was when she said, "People think I'm sicker than I am." So, there is something obviously because we knew she canled a residency. She canceled a residency and that she didn't cancel it. She She postponed it, but she had a procedure for kidney stone removal. Stones. Yeah. So, I mean, so there's something she's been going through, but that's what was shocking when her sister said, "Pray for her." Suddenly, you're like, "Well, wait, what could have gone so horribly wrong?" Yeah. With a kidney stone procedure, she is 79, but still. But when you say, it's weird because I think in our culture when you say pray for her, it means she's she could die.

That means no. It means she's in a bad she's not necessarily bad. I think that's the way people see it. If somebody was 45 and they said, "Pray for her," they would think, "Uhoh, they're going to die." I mean, I think that's just the way people interpret pray for her when it's done publicly. I think pray for her when she's 79. Well, what about 45? What about 45? No, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're We've talked about that when her sister, by the way, her sister did clear this up and said that she didn't mean to scare anyone. Um, and she didn't mean to make it sound so serious. You clearly took it that seriously, but I think that's because of 79.

But the reality is people pray Dolly did pass a kidney stone. You don't know that. God, people are going to clip that and get scared. Hi, I'm Ash from Atlanta and I wanted to say regardless of what Dolly's health status is right now or how open she's being about it, it's wild to see someone like Dolly go through something like this when she's always been larger than life. She's been a rock for so many people that um now I think it's our turn to lift her up. So, I think this just goes to show either way, our biggest legends are really human. So, sending love and good energy to both her and her sister Freda.

Did I ever tell you my favorite trial I ever covered? Only 400 times. The nineto-5 trial. Dolly Parton was amazing. Okay, a couple comments in the chat are saying that that's not real Dolly Parton. That's AI. That's And that's why she said that's why she said October 8th, but that could also be AI. This is literally what And also speaking of AI, your little pun.

The dolly did pass. I don't know what someone's going to do with that. They're going to take it. Yeah. That someone's going to take that in. I mean, we literally have to think about these things now. And I get why people are like, "What if that's not Dolly? What if it's just AI?" I That did cross my mind. She said October 8th, but didn't get too specific. These videos are too Well, she talked about Reeba cuz there was that AI photo of her and Reeba of Reeba at her deathbed and she was like there was I didn't see that.

Yeah, there was an AI picture and so in the video Dolly addressed it like Reeba wouldn't be. Am I right that when somebody says pray for so and so that you automatically assume they're about to die. I mean at least and it doesn't matter how old they are. If they're a little older, I think even if they're not, when you see somebody say, "Pray for so and so." What do you think? That's bad. You know, this real estate's really expensive here. Oh god. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm just getting I'm leaving. I'm kidding. The only reason we get comfortable is cuz you're not there. But if you were there, then we wouldn't we wouldn't just sit on your desk right next to you. My calculator. We're all friends here. Oh, interesting poll. The Dolly Parton video is clearly real, clearly AI. I can't even tell anymore. 48% say clearly real. 43% say I can't even tell anymore. Oh my god. They really think it's fake. There is the problem.

They're saying they can't tell. Which I mean really becomes a problem. But to your point, I think you feel that way because and this is not a judgment of you. It's just a fact that unless you're in a family where prayer is something that happens regularly, that's why you think it's always death. But if you grow up in a household where people talk about prayers on a daily basis, then it it doesn't always have to mean death.

So when you see, you know, when you see I think my mom asked for prayers when I was taking the SATs. Didn't really work out. I don't know where God was on that one, but certainly didn't graduate college. Um the um unnecessary So when you see a tip come in and it says, "Pray for so and so." Do you automatically say, "Well, it could be, you know, it could be that they context is everything. Death I don't know talking about how old they are.

Have they been in it?" Depends. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. If they're older, also is the tip coming from someone in the south. Makes a difference. It doesn't. You know I'm right. People in the Bible belt. Okay. I want to know what I'm talking about. Settle this. Okay. When somebody says pray for him, for when somebody says pray for her, it means death or it means anything. It can mean anything. It means death. That's not a very well-formed polling. No, it's not the best.

You're just leaning. You just gave him one option really. Or it could mean anything. She said she appreciates the prayers. You could always use prayers. I mean, reality is you could use some prayers right now. We can all use some prayers. If someone asks for prayer, I don't jump to death just that they get can get rid of whatever they're going through. People ask for prayer all the time for small and big things. Ask for prayer when you're just going through stuff. Keith, but for Dolly who just announced she was sick. People are saying, "Pray for Charles." Right now, my mother sends me a Mhm. Your mother sends you a prayer every day. Every morning. Every morning. And I get a text message. I have a I have a um a plaque in my house. It's mom's prayer for her son. Says it every day. What? Yeah. Does that bother you that my mom prays for me? it. I didn't know it was such a thing to pray.

It's very in right now. Charles is correct. We need more context. Really? I want to know what the poll is. Your flawed poll. Okay. Uh, okay. What are we doing in C? Uh, C is going to be aircraft control a bit later. We're doing uh fire D1. Jonathan Renderneck. Renderneck. How old is he? 29. Hey, where is LA resident? So they in the Can I go S35? Melbourne in Florida. I just ISO 1000. But he has addresses listed in LA and they arrested him in Florida.

Arrested yesterday in Florida. So he called 911. He did. Yes. And he took pictures of the firefighters. He took so so the he sets the fire they say maliciously sets the fire then makes multiple calls to 911 but they don't go through because of where he is in the canyon and then when he finally gets the gets where he has service he gets through calls them someone else had already called firefighters go past him on the way up to go put out the fire he follows them led in his car passing fire engines driving the opposite direction he then turned around and followed the fire engines to the scene driving at a high rate of speed.

Walked up the same trail as earlier, watched the fire and the firefighters used his phone to take more videos of the scene. The firefighters used his phone. No, he used his phone to take video and the firefighters and they during the press conference they showed some of the photos that he took. I did not see that. I think the only my Cameron, where are those photos? There is one on the site that says allegedly his photo.

The photo that he took of the firefighters. Oh, you like where did it come from is what you're asking. Yeah, it came in the unsealed complaints. The federal unal federal complaint focused on during this uh where he uh said something in the month before the fire about cities burning and he has images that they pulled off his phone from his chatbt searches that show a bunch of like cities burning. Okay, let me grab Jason. You ready? You want to know the poll? Hey, I need you to hold on. Yeah. What's the poll? What's the poll? 80% said every day matters when you ask to for somebody to pray for. H So I pray for life and death matters. Every day matters. The 80% said every day matters. Mhm. Okay. 80%. Okay. What do they know? You say he already mumbled. What do they know? See how he feels about you, Chad? See how he really feels. Why is this not working? Um, can you guys hear me? Can you hear me? Who are you talking to? Chat GBT, Anakin, why isn't this working? He's like, "Can you guys hear me?" Anakin, why is this not working? I can't get chat GBT.

Why is this not working? And it says it's not Why is it not letting me talk? You guys are watching it happen. Can you hear me, chat? GBT, we do. Yep, I can hear. Okay. There was a guy named Captain Our and he was a firefighter or a fire chief or something and I believe it was Glendale where he set fires and then went to see them and put them out. Can you give me his first name and what exactly happened? Like just speak so unhinged.

You thereby down. What? What's going on? Um, how many people? Yeah, I'm here and I can hear you loud and clear. And I know exactly who you're talking about. His name was actually John or how many fake investigator in Landale and he ended up being convicted of setting a series of fires in the 80s and 90s. Basically, he would set them and then be part of the team responding. So, a pretty wild story. 12. Thanks. Appreciate it.

You're absolutely welcome. Make sure to close it so that's not you still sound very old during the process, but your results were very young. I was impressed. That was wild. I shut everybody up. You see that? They're like, "Oh, what is he's No, that was good. I credit where credit is due. Well, this ain't where it's due. People are saying you have a relationship with GPT. Yeah. Especially after the conversation you had earlier with the with the chat. Well, he he supported me.

See, it just when he doesn't like your responses cuz you're not supporting him, then he just jumps to chat GPT. But I was right. I was dead on. What if he said chat? Remind me of our conversation last night. Okay. What were we talking about last night? You're the best. You're good enough. Okay, here we go. Jonathan render neck neck render render neck not connect. Okay, here we go. Welcome back to TMZ Live. The feds made a big arrest, one that we weren't really looking for. I didn't know that they were still searching for the person who started the Palisades fire, the devastating Palisades fire here in Los Angeles back in January.

Um, they had a suspect that they'd been uh working on for months and now they've arrested this person. and his name is uh Jonathan Renderneck and they arrested him in Florida. He has apparently has an address in Florida but did live in the LA area at some point around the time of the fires. So, um this is real CSI work that authorities did here. It is now a federal charge against him. Federal charges. Here's a little bit of the news conference that will kind of break down how they caught this guy. Today, we are announcing the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Renderneck for igniting a fire that ultimately burned down the Palisades. The allegations in the affidavit are supported by digital evidence, including the defendant's chat GPT prompt of a dystopian painting showing in part a burn a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it.

He exited the car, walked up a nearby trail, took iPhone videos at a nearby hilltop, and listened to a rap song whose music video including objects being lit on fire. Law enforcement got to work and by January 24th had identified and interviewed the defendant. During his interview, he lied about where he was when he first saw the Lochman fire, claiming he was near the bottom of a hiking trail. Geoloccation data for the 911 call showed that he was standing above the fire in a clearing merely 30 ft from the blaze as it rapidly grew. So what really happened here is according to authorities he started the fire and then immediately tried calling 911 and he was in a canyon so the calls didn't go through initially eventually got through and then fled the scene when he saw the fire trucks coming up the hill. He turned around and followed the fire trucks up and took pictures of of the area where they were fighting the fire. In fact, uh the feds in the uh indictment actually released at least one of the photos that he allegedly took uh up on that hillside.

So So what's really interesting about this is that the blaze did not start the day that he started the fire. So So this to me is where everything is going to be focused over the next few weeks and and potentially we should say the charge that he's facing is destruction of property by means of fire. So what's really it leads right to that because he starts this fire allegedly on January 1st.

The fire that ended up destroying the all the property and killing the people did not actually break out until January the 7th. The theory is that the prosecutors are articulating is that the fire smoldered on the ground. So firefighters came out, it was incredibly hot, 100° or whatever it was. Firefighters come out, they fight the blaze, they think it's out, but it's smoldered according to prosecutors and then it eventually erupts on January 7th.

The difficulty I think prosecutors are going to have is this is an open hiking trail in a very popular hiking area. There were hundreds of people that would have come up between January 1st when he started the fire and January 7th when it broke out. How do prosecutors Harvey prove causation between his acts and what happened on January? It's going to totally be his defense. And what they're going to also say is that if the fire department did not put it out, it's on them. Yes. He actually called the fire department and said there's a fire and though they said that he maliciously said it. Yeah. They didn't really explain it by that. So they found they found a lot of stuff. Well, they found they they they found this this um image of a city burning um you know and look no but but how do they why did they say he maliciously set the fire? Like what there must be something that there's a lot of inference there but but I don't think there's any inference there.

They're saying that they caught that he lied about where he was. They were able to tell where he was. You're missing what I'm saying. My point is what did he what did he use to set the fire? Exactly. How was it not accidental that he started the fire? Which does happen when circumstantial evidence, but the guy is coming back. He's got a picture of the city burning before he ch the city burning. Right. and and and you know there's this thing where arsonists sometimes will start a fire and they will then follow the fire department because they get a thrill out of the reaction.

There's been bombers and things like that that come and they watch the the the fallout. They enjoy watching the the product of their work. You're also forgetting the fact that they they interviewed him on January 24th, right? And they've stuck with this Yeah. Yeah. for months. They had to put it together. Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying that's incredible police work. It's incredible police work. I mean, this really is CSI. Uh, just to go back to this point that I was raising a minute ago, if they can't show causation between what he did on January 1st and the fire that broke out on January 7th, what's he he's in trouble for intentionally starting a brush fire that was put out. There's really not much there. The difference between that and what eventually happened is capital punishment.

He can be put to death for killing people in an arson. And that's his defense. And that's his defense, right? Mia from Atlanta. Um, what happened in the Palisades is absolutely devastating. Whether it was intentional or malicious act, it's still knowing the history of California wildfires. Like you can start a wildfire in California, like it it could be anything that starts it.

And I just think at the end of the day, people losing their belongings apparently, I'm hoping that's justified enough for this man to feel the weight of the justice system because again, it's a history of California for wildfires to be started. And it doesn't matter what can start them. So whether it was malicious or intentional, well, well, intentional big difference. There's a big difference between like nature starting a fire and someone intentionally starting one. Even though we have a lot of wildfires, someone should be held responsible if they actually did intentionally do it. By the way, intentional and malicious are exactly the same thing. Um, if and and it's pretty clear the authorities are saying with the pictures and everything else, anybody would come to the conclusion he did it on purpose.

I'll tell you, you want the conspiracy theories. He may have a defense. He may have a defense. Yeah. that you know seven days later the fire breaks out. How do how do we know that it was smoldering or that somebody else a hiker didn't? Also all sorts of con conspiracy. That's why I I was saying what do they mean by how did he actually physically set the fire? They don't have to prove that.

They don't have to prove that. They can do it by circumstantial evidence. If they believe that if they've got video of the guy, you know, that he took a that he took a photo up there that he took a photo of a city burning. No, no, no, no, no, no. He was chat GBT. He created images using AI of a city burning. Of a city burning. That's circumstantial evidence. Very circumstantial, right? And so you take that, you take the fact that he lied at the that he was at the bottom of the hill when they've got him um right in that area based on the cell towers. Then you've got him going back and you've got him following the fire department taking pictures of the fire. Um and I'm sure there is a hell of a lot more after 9 months that they've done. You can I mean I I agree. Circumstantial evidence gets people convicted every day. You don't have to have a smoking literally a smoking gun. You don't have to have it. And people get convicted and they may know.

I don't know. And that's how conspiracy theories get started. Well, that's how people get convicted because that's how people get convicted. And that's where you get conspiracy theories. Like I if if if I'm him and you go, "All right, so I have images that by the way, you could also say I I don't know." The conspiracy theory is going to be he didn't actually create those images. Yeah. that he's the paxi. They create these images. They put him on some device that he he can do that and the jury and juryy's not going to believe him. His his better defense is how do you know that that fire started because of what I did 6 days earlier? That could have been any hiker. Um and he will raise the issue that you know at a point the cause it's called in the law causation that that link is broken.

When the fire department comes, they put it out. They put it out negligently and then it erupts. It's on them. That's not a great argument. But the hiker argument is an interesting argument because there were winds that day. The day that it started, the winds were gusting like crazy. So if somebody just dropped a match by accident or whatever, kicked a stone that right hit another stone and suddenly there's a Yeah. all sorts of things. Like serial killers keep tokens. Firebugs like to watch the aftermath of starting a fire, right? Okay. What do we do in uh as D2? Okay, Deon, I'm going to need you to put a put a cap on this, man. Just being assaulted by a lot of smells as we're That's a salad doing Oh, it smells amazing. You got that [ __ ] smell. Yes. When we're in the middle of the segment, I was like, "What the hell is this?" It's not like I'm making like salmon. Your food smell good, too.

I don't make fish here. Okay. We were at 6:37. Okay. Okay. Three. No, there's no way we're going to go three. Okay. How many pictures do you have of this place? Okay, just start showing them. Adam Lavine is um picking up stakes and moving out of Monaceto, at least where he is currently in Monaceto. Still maybe staying in the area, but blame his kids.

It's always You can always blame the kids. These damn kids. Uh but listen, no, it's true. Someone is benefiting from his decision to move because uh he sold his house for $60 million. Wait a minute. Someone's benefiting. He's benefiting. Well, he's benefiting, but someone's getting Look what they're getting. It is beautiful. It is a beautiful state. I mean, it's just incredible. This is in Monace, obviously a super nice area of Santa Barbara. Um so he this house actually was built in 2009 for Rob. Look at that. And then Rob, by the way, Rob Low, Rob Low is a major real estate guy in that area.

I didn't even know that. Major. So, it was built for him and then Adam bought it uh 3 years ago. I remember when he bought it. When Adam bought this, so he actually I forgot what the uh interior designer was, but it's someone who works with like Ellen Degenerous, the Kardashians. I guess Adam super is super into interior design. So, he redid the whole inside with an interior designer. But you kind of teased us at the beginning, Harvey. So basically the reason they're selling this house cuz you look at it and like why would you ever leave this place is they wanted to be closer to where their kids go to school. Um I'm not sure how far of a drive or how far the commute was before but apparently get the kids a new school they bought land I think near the new school and they're building a new property. Get the kids an apartment by the school. Dude they it's nice taking your little kids to school. Well what what did he that house? So he sold it for 60 million for 52.

So he Well, no, because when you put when you look at real estate fees, when you look not making much is what I'm saying. He's not making I mean, Adam's got plenty of money. I don't think he's worried about a few million. But the point is it's the kids. It's not like he's sold because he's making a bunch of money off of it. For sure. Now damn kids. But where do you move from there? There's somewhere else in this area. Oh, you're just saying like what's going to have views of the ocean, the mountains? That's one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen. Yeah. Somehow I think Adam Lavine is going to land on his feet and he'll have a night. He's not He's not getting a Hey guys, guys.

Pray for him. Here we go. Hey, it's India coming from Tampa. And yes, that is the most beautiful home I've ever seen as well. It kind of reminds me of something from like my childhood favorite family movies, The Dream Home. I don't I can see Mary Kate and Ashley running around there wreaking havoc. But it congratulations and I know that if they brought property, he's going to design something that'll blow us away. I'm looking forward to seeing it. Yeah, by the way, that may be the point. Maybe he just wanted to design something. Design a new house. Ellen Degenerous has done that over the years. Same thing. Okay. It is so That is such a pretty house. People have chattered how beautiful the home is. It looks like a resort. This is It could It could actually be a resort. God, it's so pretty. Hence the beautiful pool. God, it's nice. Pretty cool house for sure. Okay. Uh what are we doing in an E? Look at the You think of the whiffle ball game you could have on that Oh, I know what on that field.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Christine Gnome is going after who? Yeah. Um, Zach Bryan, right? Brian, Mike Johnson, Christine. Okay. It's only 1112. Wow. That's a That's not a bad thing. Arturo Gotti Jr. That's That's sad. What happened? Oh my god. What did he die of? Uh uh Babcock was I I haven't even read the story, but Babcock Babcock. What did Gotti Jr. died of? How did who died? Archurro Gotti. Well, Mike, he was Mike, he was found hanging. But what's interesting is that that's how his father was found. And all these years later, there's still many questions about his dad's death. It was ruled a suicide. Many people believe there was foul play and and now his son is found that same exact way. So maybe a coincidence. I know somebody that happened to the same with father son really a year later today. Son did it. Secretary Gnome. Really? Yeah. It's horrible. I know you and your best friend.

Such an amazing fighter. I call her Secretary Gnome because Wow. Okay. We just got a Babcock for president in the chat. Benny Johnson. He has fans. Deon. Oh, no. He's getting some love, too. Benny Johnson. You want to run Deon with me? Okay. So, what a Jesus Christ. Yeah, we're guaranteed to win. Learning something new every day. What is that on, Kyle? Where's Washington DC? Is it what? Oh, podcast. No. Okay, let's do this. With who? Oh, Harvey, the chat is begging you to keep your phone away from your drink. No, I play dangerous here. Yep. Great. He doesn't have to worry about it. I do. I'm the one that cleaned it up. You didn't even No, but if the phone gets damaged, if the phone gets damaged, right, he's the one who has to worry about it.

That's true. Job. Wow. That's That's true. He's right. No, he's right. He's right. He's right. Uh, yeah. Thank you. Thanks. So, Victoria, she got flowers out of the four spice barrels. To Wanda, she says, "Watching the live stream, homesick. You are zooming through and you look so angry. Smile. Yeah, people are people were wondering where Toanda Can't you just smile a little bit. She um she's sick today and Jackson's in Dallas. Huh? When you don't smile, you're giving them a real authentic feel. Yeah. I mean, this is the whole point.

You guys are This is what what we got to deal with all the time. Okay. Okay. What do you mean? What? We got What was What was the What's the name of the song again? Bad news. Bad news. Okay. Are you playing it? I think we should just remind people a little refresher. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. You want to do the refresher before secretary? I think you have to. Welcome back to TMZ Live. The culture wars are raging on and Zack Bryan is right in the middle of the latest one as we expected um because we told you yesterday about this song that he is uh putting out. It's called Bad News and it is extremely critical of police of ICE agents of the immigration policy of the Trump administration. She zeros in. Christy Gnome is pissed off. But first, if you haven't heard it, here's the portion of the song that triggered her. [Music] And I was going to come down here door tried to build a house.

No bills no more. But I got a telephone. Kids are all scared all alone. The bar stop bumping the rock stop rolling. My middle fingers rising. And it won't stop showing. Got some bad news. The fading of a red, white, and blue. Yeah, there you go. Well, uh, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome uh was talking about this on the Benny podcast with Benny Johnson. Um, and here's what she has to say to Zack Bryan over bad news. I heard that and uh listened to a little bit of it and extremely disappointed and disheartened and actually I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is not just to law enforcement but to this country to every single individual that has ever stood up and fought for our freedoms.

He just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that. So Zach um I didn't listen to your music. Um I'm happy about that today. today. That makes me very happy that I never once gave you a single penny uh to enrich your lifestyle if you truly believe what that song stands for. But she is she is Richard Nixon, you know, where Nixon said, "Love it or leave it." It's like, "Yeah, what about the freedom of the small kid that was zip tied and taken out naked from an apartment?" So, you can be critical of that.

And you might even agree with some of what they're doing, but not all of what they're doing. And that doesn't make you unamerican. And it's [ __ ]. I'm sorry, but you can't say somebody's unAmerican for disagreeing with part of your policy. One of the freedoms that she said everyone fought for is the freedom of speech, which seems to be getting tossed to the wayside lately.

Um, but Zack Bryan, we talked about this that look, we just heard one part of this song and we I think I understandably guessed well, it's not like he's just going to flip it around and suddenly be on the other side of the aisle. Guess what Zack Bryan says? That's exactly what you're going to hear. He says, "This song is about how much I love this country and everyone in it more than anything. When you hear the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle. Everyone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are. We need to find our way back.

Yeah. Now, we haven't heard he's against author. He does not like he's against authority. But what I suspect from what he just said, what the song is actually going to be is a reflection of both sides. And what he's really singing about when he says bad news, the fading of the red, white, and blue, civil war. Yeah. And by the way, we are so divided. He's going to you're going to hear both perspectives in the song, but his point is we got to stop this. And and and I want to say that there is plenty of criticism you can have on the other side too about cancel culture going overboard. And you know there are people who are really upset um that the co policy was too extreme. And so there is a lot you can look at on both sides. But I whichever side you're on, you can't call somebody unamerican because they disagree with you on a policy.

It's just Well, well, another criticism then would be also No, I No, I agree with you. Another criticism would be the the policies that allowed this u you know the border was a civ. There was there was no enforcement. So, you you could also obviously criticize that. Yeah. 100%. that that the Biden administration just opened the doors and and and there's good in what is happening now to some extent. But there's all to me there's also I I guess my my bottom line would be I I would say go to your politicians, tell them you don't like these laws, change the laws, don't attack the people who are just doing their jobs.

They're just cops. But more to the point more to the point about Zack Bryan. What's wrong with singing a song that reflects how every how everybody feels in the country? He should be right. There are people who But she does. She's saying he's unamerican. No. Hey, I don't dis I disagree with her. Hi, I'm Sam. I'm from Maryland. And honestly, I greatly applaud Zach Bryan because he's a country singer. We all know that majority of his fans are MAGA. But it goes to show that this is not a partisan issue, but rather a belief. And I just find it funny that MAGA is supposedly the party of free speech, but Secretary Gnome can't even handle his vague opinions and just calls it dangerous and anti-federal agents when he himself is actually a former veteran. So yeah. Yeah. Word.

So, we dropped the poll. Zack Bryan's song is a reflection of the times or disrespectful to America. 88% said a reflection of the times. Yeah. And then people, we have a comment saying um artists have always been a voice for social issu is issues and political issues and they have been, but every time they do it nowadays, they get criticized for doing it. But that is true. But both sides tolerant. I mean, Hollywood is shameful the way it has just annihilated people who aren't taking the party line. And I've just been sickened by watching, you know, actors just being torn apart by, you know, Hollywood where they don't have the same political views.

And I think that started this. Honestly, I think it started it. And it's fine to take a stand, but to basically call somebody a piece of [ __ ] because you disagree with them, I'm sorry. Um, yep. Charles Harvey and Babcock, we are living in divisive times, not a Republican Democrat problem. It's a all of us problem. Well, we're living in divisive times, not a political party problem. H, it's both parties, you know, but their point is it's not about the parties. I'm thinking about what this person in the chat said, which point is that it's not about take away the parties, you'd still have the divisiveness in America, right? But the parties are the clubs and the club, it's all culture war. It's culture war on the right and it's culture war on the left. That when the left was in power, they made it about culture wars.

And when the rights in power rather than just rushing to always say it's both sides. I'm actually trying to think about what this person said and actually have a conversation with them or would you like to just do it your way? I'm just disagreeing if you don't mind that it is about the parties reflect both sides. The parties reflect America and you've got intolerance only the parties only matter in that the way they amplify it is making it worse. Like if you take away the parties, just people in America feel the way they feel, right? They feel differently. So take away the parties really all the way only thing that the politicians are doing is amplifying it and maybe in a in a way that is not helpful, but they're reflecting what their base believes when the left was in char. But but it's not even the base. It's the extremes on both sides. They have the megaphone. And when you look at cancel culture, which was extremely I I love they call it the progressive part of the it's not the progressives, it's the left and they don't want to use the word left because they use the word right and if you're going to use the word right well the right doesn't like that they would rather be conservatives.

So same thing but it's the left and the right. So they're not conservative and they're not progressive. They're both left and right. They're left and right. By the way, there is a conservative that's in the middle and there's a Democrat that's in the middle. But there is a left wing of the Democratic party and a right wing of the Republican in the middle. But if you're a Republican all the way over here, then that's what do you call that? I would bet you that at least 80% of the country, some of whom are moderate Democrats and some of whom are moderate Republicans are rather close together.

They're not divided by that much. And then you've got the extremes and they're the ones with the megaphone. They're the ones that create a case. What you're saying is we're not actually as divided as Zack Bryan's song might lead you to believe or as turning on any TV might lead you to believe. The problem is that those extremes can start a civil war.

Mhm. That you don't need the masses. You can have a civil war with two extremes. We have an independent in the chat saying do not don't say this. Don't say parties reflect America. So, I guess they don't really lean one way or the other. I mean, what they're saying is the parties are reflecting the extremes instead of the masses.

Some stuff is just not as acceptable anymore in this time, no matter how much you try to white coat it or sugar coat it. Whitewash. Whitewash. That's what I've assumed. I don't want to be the Okay, one more and then we're going to do F. Um, and this kind of reflects what Babcock said. You shouldn't make the song about ICE. They're just doing what they're told. Well, that's true. And it's also true not to you shouldn't be attacking, you know, law enforcement, but you can voice loudly your disapproval if you think what they're doing is wrong of the approach. I mean, I saw this thing today. I it was a priest getting knocked in the head during an ICE protest by it's like they've gone overboard and I really worry about what's going to happen at the Super Bowl. I think it's going to be a flash point. I don't think so. I think that's a lot of talk. I don't think it's going to be I It's a lot of talk.

It's not It's just It's also there there's no The reality is the reality is there aren't going to be a lot of targets. I know for not going to be a lot of undocumented people. You know what it costs to go to a Super Bowl? Doesn't matter. It's for the cameras. It's it's for the cameras and just to have them walking. I don't think Santa Clad's not going to allow them even on the grounds. I don't think what the the federal law Yeah. You watch federal law enforcement say, "Oh, okay. We'll go away." They are not going to go away. There's going to be a confrontation. It's going to be New Nome versus Trump and you're going to have the state that's going to be all the rhetoric leading up to it and the state national and the state national guard will be there. Everyone's going to be at the NFL experience going let me catch a football standoff. Yeah. I hope not because one thing that brings us together is football.

Yeah. That's what we're seeing with Bad Bunny, right? But that's not about football. I'm just talking about actual fandom that brings us together. I don't think that matters. It's true. Nobody Do you Do you think in Yankee Stadium last night there weren't a whole bunch of people who were Republican and a whole bunch of people who are Democrat? Nobody brought it up. All high all high-fiving, hugging each other. Right. The one thing that actually brings people together. Well, how come there Mike and I were tackling last night and I How come there's so many fights? Well, Mike texted me last night. I love you, man.

It was great. Opposing fans, but the opposing fans. Charles and look, they beat each other up. Politically, Charles and I couldn't be any more different last night. T Yankees text. I mean, lot of love. Lot of love. Yeah. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong. No. What do you think's gonna be this big showdown? Because they're posturing.

It's the biggest stage of the year and look at what's going on right now. They're doing this for cameras. They're doing this for cameras. Who's going to be show like the federal agent? The feds are going to come in and say we want to check the vendors or something like that. And then the National Guard is going to be there because Newsome has been standing up to Trump and they're going to say, "No, you can't." I just I just can't foresee that happen.

I know you can't. Save this tape. I hope I'm wrong. Come on, Brendon. Okay. Exactly. All right, let's wander. All right. So, we're flipping it this way because Charles is talking regarding something um for the news desk and Kyle needs to talk to Harvey about something regarding the show. So, sometimes there is things that Harvey and Charles need to talk about that we keep under wraps. But doesn't mean you're not going to find out later in the show or potentially staying tuned to the website, you find out what they're exactly talking about. Um, all right. Well, Brendon's not miked up. I know usually this is a good time to ask people how they got their start here at TMZ, but everyone is head down working stories right now, so stay tuned. Um, I'm pretty sure we are doing headlines.

I can uh ping Cameron when he's done talking to Charles about it. Um, and as for our daily winner of the last couple of weeks, still keep sending in headlines. Just because you've won, I believe, three times now, doesn't mean you can't keep sending sending them in. Um, yeah. Good ask how they got there. If I get somebody available, I will ask how they got their start here. I just want to make sure that my mic is not getting picked up by all the chatter. Okay. No, we're not.

I I don't I mean, does the photo tell the full story? I don't know. Song definitely wasn't over, but you're right. could have been standing part of it. That's right. But though, why would you I don't know.

That nobody did. It's a It's almost noon, 3:00 in the East and nobody said a word about this. Courtney, I can't even find a tweet. Crap. Do you remember? No, I know. But there are people all around him and they know the story, right? And when when when you're doing that, you're going to look and at Bad Bunny and it's like, why did nobody take this? It's just weird to me. I agree. I can't find a single tweet. Are you guys listening to us? I mean, are we Oh, are we on? Yeah, we're on. Oh, okay. Well, what we're Oops.

in their story. They do say I wasn't sure either. No, we're okay. Sitting behind. I mean, they don't have a pitcher or anything, but they're saying that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't I think we were fine. I don't know what they're basing it off. Second ball. What's the time on that? See what this is. Yeah, this is this is the video where he No one thinks it's fake, right? Yeah. What time is that published? Well, that's not about Oh, what time did they publish that story? Right. You've got this huge, but it's like they didn't show it. No, it was not on the But that's just about him catching the foul ball. Maybe like game one of the World Series they show it, but they did not show it last night. I looked. It's not like their headline or anything, right? Hey, they're just saying he was sitting with the foul.

Hey, anything? You don't see anything? Okay. And that's what the rep's just going to say. She's going to be like, "Oh, well, he got up." Well, have we called the rep? We should This is the new trailer for Call the rep. No, call the rep. Like, call right now. I mean, we have a picture and if we can confirm it, we should have jumped on that 10 minutes ago.

It doesn't matter. You got to try. Don't don't make an assumption not to do it. Y are you writing this? Huh? We have a photo. You should jump should hustle on this. Okay, let's get G done because Jim's going to be ready in like now. Yeah, we'll knock out a quick one minute. Okay, let's go. So, I just realized this. I I don't think it was done on purpose, but what's the date when Kim Kardashian finds out if she passed the bar? It's November sometime in November. Early November. Yeah, I believe I November 3rd is in my head for some reason. I think it's November 3rd and and the public finds out like the 6th or 7th. Well, November 4th is when All's Fair comes out. Ooh, they could not have timed that intentionally, right? Ah, if she passes, it's brilliant. It is brilliant if she passes. And by the way, even if she doesn't, it's still doesn't work as well.

Publicity. Uh, but Allspair is the uh Ryan Murphy series where Kim Kardashian is leading an all female law firm. Divorce lawyers. Yes, divorce lawyers. So, new trailer just dropped. Now you're finally getting to see a little bit more of Kim's acting in this series. I tell my clients every day. You never really know a person. It's just a trap. Guess who's here with me right now. Chase, say bye-bye to your future ex-wife. Bye-bye. See you in court, you poor discarded. Let's light her on fire. It's showtime, lady. You know what I love? You are the victim here and every tear you shed is 100k in your pocket.

You know what this I didn't realize Glen Close was in this. You know what? Oh, yeah. Glen Close is in what? This reminds It's so campy that it's really fun. But it's it this is they're playing this for camp. I mean, this is so over the top, which is kind of good. It's like that kind of works. There's it kind of it it kind of works. Um and she's had experience in divorce. and she's had experience divorce.

Will she be Kim Kardashian Esquire when it comes out? We will see. Okay. Uh when Jim is up, let us know. Nothing from the rep. No, they never engage with us. They ignore from the state like inside. Who's the rep? Who? Um, what'd you find? So, the tipster said, [Music] "Do you want to You want to bring it up? We can't tell what song this is though. [Music] God bless America. A tipster did say there was an opera singer singing.

Yeah. God bless America. Oh, that's God bless America. Is that God bless America? It's the opening verse. I think that you don't often they only No way. What's the verse? [Music] There's a way. They don't usually play. I don't know that verse. [Music] No way. Thank you. Yeah, it sounds like it might be O Canada. Then that would be a different They do that before. Oh, that's right. Cuz they're playing Toronto, right? So they Yeah, this is not it. No, we're still I have everybody looking though. Wonder what time this is. Um, okay. Well, that's not it. Is Jim up? Are you getting him? The opening is, "While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, let us all be grateful that we are from there as we raise our voices in a solemn prayer." And then, God bless.

It's what's a book. They very um um rarely do they is it used but in Yankee Stadium during the playoffs they always do. Yeah, that's definitely the Canadian. I don't know if it's a superstition at this point. It's just so odd that there's no video or other people posting photos of it or other people posting photo. The only thing that's not odd about that is that during that people who are paying respect to you're typically not But uh but if you saw a bad point is if you saw bad city you would you're talking about someone is happening to catch it saying that like they sat in the middle of it and you're doing it and all of a sudden you're like you catch out of your eye like bad bunny sitting like someone would record it.

I would you would look to see if he stands to because of all the controversy. They would I don't think the normal person You put my mic down. They're gonna look the normal playoff baseball fan. Yeah. I don't think they care about that in like a tight game where they're they need to win. It's a seventh inning stretch. It's not the game. I'm saying that I'm saying do you not think Do you not think at all that you're in a a very particular bubble that in the general there's what like 60,000 fans there. live photo. I don't want it. I don't know the percentage, but hold on. Hold on. So, hang on. I I got to go to my desk. See, that's what I told you. Put the photo. Yeah. No. Oh, that. Good. Good. No, I'm fine. I'm just saying I I think it's it's a way lesser percentage of people that are thinking about that when they're at the Yankee game than you would think.

You think like that in your mind that's all you're thinking about? All these fans, they see a big tiny percent of fans are like, "Wait, I wonder if he stands during they're used to seeing the stars in the stadium." But I to your point, that particular one, knowing what the controversy has been about him getting the Super Bowl and called unamerican, right? He even addressed it when he said to earlier, I don't necessarily, even if he was sitting, I don't really necessarily think he's making a political statement. I think he's just like, he might not have been. Not it's the optics of it though obviously I'm not saying it's not a story but I'm saying when everybody around you stands when there you're conscious of something. Yes. Yeah. It's a val that's a valid point. That's but see what what is the live photo? Well that's what he's looking for.

You can hear but it's like it's half a second too short. They don't. Nope. Although, I'll bet you if the game were on network, they would have stayed on it. [Music] Devil's advocate, too, is that like you don't know if he was just sitting down, if he didn't stood up. Right. That's what we were saying. You know what I mean? Yeah. We don't know what part of the song it was. Yeah. Jim will be ready in a minute. We just had to He had to download Zoom and they're just Why don't we Oh, we did G. Yeah, we did.

Correct. Yeah. So, it's just this and then whatever we land on. We may just have to do Selena. What do you think? I mean, it's clearly somebody's singing. Well, you can't make out, right? It's not time stamp lines up with the middle of the seventh. Hold on. What's What's interesting is Hold on. What's the timestamp of him walking out? Because different that we already know that walking out was that's a social media thing. No, no, no. You're missing my point. Was that was at last night's game, right? Yeah. 18 hours ago. So if he's playing the if if he's singing the Canadian national anthem, do they sing the American first? Again, not we're not our national anthem. We don't have the time stamp on that. Oh, you're But the anthems are played before the game. So, but we're in America. Maybe a national anthem were played before the game.

That may have been God bless God bless America. But in the live video, everyone's singing along like that's an American anthem. If everyone Okay, hold on one second. It's quick, but stand beside her. Beside beside her and guide her. That sounds like beside her. Listen again. Beside beside her. I am dying to make that sound. Yeah. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? All that time spent in Derek's office. Can someone tell me how what? No. Beside her. Just hold it. Guide her. Hold. Keep holding it. Guide her. Yes, I hear. Guide her. They're going down. Yeah, Derek. I think it's I think this is it. You can hear them go down. I hear Guide her. Yeah, that's what I Come here. I'm playing with the Yeah, we're doing name that tune. But what are you hearing here? Listen, listen carefully. Listen carefully. Chicago. What happened? You have to flip it back to here.

Let me No, I'm not. Hold on. Listen carefully. One more time. I don't I hear crowd noise. Do you hear a song in that? The crowd. Oh, let me hear the So, go play again. No one to God Bless America. What's the What are the words they're singing here? I I can't hear it. I can totally hear it. Tell me tell me guide her. Oh, and guide her to the Let me hear it again. Yes, this airs in 20 minutes. You're 100% right. I did need to prime, but it does clear up. We We'll deal with that after. We got to do It's Harvey and Charles. Yeah. How you doing, man? I I'm good. You're having way too much fun there. Way too much fun.

Oh, we're trying. Trying to break down. Yeah, it's a whole thing. We have like half a second of sound. We're trying to figure out what I want to know. Hey, did you guys hire any uh the old KTTV photog? No, not at present. Oh, hey yo, you worked for two, right? Was it two or four? No, you worked for four. No, I was uh Yeah, I worked You worked for 11, too? Yeah, I worked at NBC and Fox. Got it. Okay, I can do this because I can go way back. Okay. Okay. So with the uh government shutdown um one of the um tension points is airports and um there was an alarming incident at one airport at Hollywood Burbank airport where nobody was in the control tower and um it had to do with people calling out sick and the fact this has been happening at it happened at O'Hare.

It's happened at Newark. It's happened in Nashville. is becoming a growing problem across the country. Now they are still able to track planes in the air. But Charles and I were talking before that what about on the ground? I mean we saw two no one in the tower. We saw two Delta planes collide not too long ago days ago. Uh on the ground when there was someone in the tower. So what happens and we've seen other incursions as well. Right. So um how safe is it on the ground with an airplane? Um Jim Hulcom is an old and dear friend of mine uh when I was doing local news and after and more importantly a veteran pilot, a pilot uh for the NBC affiliate in Los Angeles, the Fox affiliate in Los Angeles.

He flew helicopters all over this area and would take off and land uh at Hollywood Burbank Airport. So Jim is joining us right now. Jim, welcome back to TMZ Live. Good to be back. Harford. So, uh, you concerned about the fact that sometimes ain't no one in the tower? Major, major concern. I mean, the very bad safety hazard uh, in the absence of somebody in the control tower at an airport that size, you've got way too many commercial uh, part 121 aircraft. Those are scheduled aircrafts that are coming in. You got civilian aircraft. Um there is a workaround for it, but it requires that everybody's on the same page and everybody knows what they're going to do. But uh you were talking about ground traffic. When you don't have a control tower, you use a common frequency, a common traffic frequency. In this case, it would be whatever Burbank's frequency is. And pilots would broadcast into the blind, you know, uh you know, uh aircraft ABC is at the fuel pits taxing to the active runway 25 for takeoff. And uh and that's how they would do it.

The actual call would be something like this. Burbank helicopter 525 is at the fuel pits taxing to a hold short runway 25 for a 25 departure. Burbank. You say you say the the name of the airport at the beginning and the name of the airport at the ending. The idea is that inbound aircraft hear you. They know what you're doing. People that are on that same frequency, they hear you. They know what you're doing. And then you have the responsibility now to see and avoid and check make sure that you can take off and get that departure that either straight out departure in most cases for Burbank just a straight out departure and then contact SoCal approach once you get in the air. So but Jim I I hear you saying what the workaround is just to be clear. So now pilots instead of just listening to an air traffic controller in the tower telling them where to go, who's also telling other people, now all pilots have to listen to all the other pilots and you've all got to be on trust that you're all hearing it.

That's right. That's right. And uh Wow. An airport that size with that much traffic, it is very dangerous, especially if you have like novice pilots and non-commercial pilots coming in and out of there. Uh, I I that would I would be a circus. I would stay totally away from Burbank unless I unless I had to land there. Well, what about O'Hare where you've got scores of airplanes that are moving, that's an enormous airport. And if it happens there, even if they're all commercial pilots, that doesn't feel real safe. Well, no. And you've also got a lot of major airports in that vicinity, too.

You got, I think, three major airports. You got Kennedy, LaGuardia, O'Hare. Am I am I correct on that? No. Kenny Laguardia in New York, O'Hare in You got Midway and and O'Hare and Midway in Chicago. Right. So you you've got you got major airports that are also taking off. Now if they're taking off with control tower um you know um guidance, they're going to have certain certain air airways that they're using. They're on they're on an instrument flight plan. And here you are taking off. Hopefully, if you're if you're a commercial airline, you're going to file an instrument flight plan, then activate it as soon as you get in the air because you don't have anyone to talk to on the ground, unless you can activate it on the ground. It's going to require a lot of um a lot of orchestration really.

So, it requires a lot of pilots. Now, if you're someone who has a flight coming up, would you be concerned? Should you be concerned about safety? Really, if you're flying into one of these airports where um they have air traffic controllers calling out and they don't have enough people, if I knew in advance that they were having problems at an airport, there is no way that I would take off or land at that airport because quite frankly, uh most pilots are, you know, so much into automation. They have autopilots. A lot of these guys have difficulty actually doing a manual landing. Now, I'm not, you know, bismerching them or anything like that. It's just the way the uh the system works.

And I I would not I would not go. You know, Jim, the other thing I I was just thinking about is when I was a reporter at CBS here, um I remember an incident where there was a Sky West uh aircraft that was on the runway ready to take off and a Southwest plane was coming in and it pancaked the uh Sky West and everybody died on Sky West. And you know, if you don't have somebody eyeballing it from the tower, it just feels like it magnifies the problem. Well, totally. And again, you're you're going to be total VFR when you're coming in. You're going to have to watch and make sure who's in your downwind, which is, you know, parallel to the runway. Uh, you know, turning a a base turn for final.

You're going to have to sequence yourself with the other pilots. You're you're all going to have to work together. That's what the control tower does is they sequence airplanes coming in and you're going to have to do that yourself and as a commercial pilot that's way like you you you're not you haven't done that in a long time. So uh I mean it's very very dangerous. Oh wow. Well thankfully we have not gotten to that point with no one in the tower yet in major airports.

But um you know the longer this uh government shutdown goes down it's going to get hairy. over here where I fly. Anytime I talk to an air traffic controller, I always thank him for his service when he's done because uh I I really appreciate their their effort and their service. And they're doing it now for no pay. So uh Okay, thank you so much. Okay, I'm Yeah, me too. Nervous. Me, too. Okay, we're done. We have enough to shuffle other segments around to fill in the hole in F. That that went a little longer expected. G block went long. So instead of cutting a ton of time out of that, I'm making Adam Lavine just the standalone F and then Well, wait a minute. But do we want to do we want to do this mobile? I mean, this is kind of a big deal.

I mean, for F. Yeah. It's not about filling the time. It's about this is a good story. Yeah. Yeah. So, who's writing this? Okay. Raphael, where are you on this? Did you see the video where they say and guide her? Did they talk to you about this? No. Okay, you guys, we got to have communication. I'm here. We're all talking. Okay, there is a video. Bad bunny. No, it's fine. And then um listen to and guide her here. Listen again. Guide her. You hear that? Well, no, it's stand beside her and guide her. Uhhuh. And you can hear the voice go down. So if you listen again, guide her. You hear? Guide her. Yeah. So, you could say that in addition to the picture and you see him there, right? Yeah, he's in the He's wearing the green hat, right? That's Yeah, he has the the green hat.

We don't see his face in the video. So, we need to cut this. That's what I'm working on right now. Okay. So, we're cutting this, but you need to really focus on this that what what do you call it when you It's a live. It's a live It's a live photo. So in the live photo you hear what the crowd appearing to sing Guide Her which is what the one toward the end of the song stand beside her and guide her. Can we watermark? Okay. Live photo. In the live photo, I have not dropped it in the live. You hear the crowd appearing to sing guide her as in the verse.

Sorry, stand beside her and guide her which is part of God bless America. Okay. So rework this and make that prominent. Okay. Right. But we don't need to, right? I'm just saying in the writing of the post, why do you need to get hung up on the which microscond of lyric you're hearing? Because I think you want to make it clear this is God Bless America. And just looking at a photo, we're just relying on what somebody says.

Here you can actually hear the words guide her which is part of the song which does align with it's part of God Bless America where he's sitting. I think it's highly relevant because otherwise you're just relying on a picture. What's a picture of? What are they singing? I have no idea what they're singing. I mean we say all the time though witnesses I know but if you can get actual if you can hear something you you put the best So did they just did they loop it? Jim's cutting it right now. loot the twice. So, you're using that once and put an arrow so everybody sees that it's Bad Bunny and then I play it two more times.

Good. I'm using that as an asset. We're explaining the asset. We're explaining. Got it. Well, we're explaining the story. Yeah. Go finish. Yeah. Yeah. Go. Go. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, do you have the Do you actually have that um video that we can play, Jim? Okay. Daniela, do you have that or is it too separate? Is it really Mike Johnson said that? Oh, going after do it because Yes, we should add it.

So, add this part to it. Yeah. Oh, god. Yeah. So, just so you guys know, it sounds like this is true that he was sitting. We still don't know if he was sitting through the whole thing. There are people who are saying for part of it, but stand beside her and guide her from the light to the It's a very long song. Well, no. No, no, but I'm wondering, is that part repeated? Is it at the end? I I don't remember. I have the lyrics right here cuz we were just talking about it. Stand beside her and guide her. Is that mentioned just once, twice? Stand beside her and guide her. God bless America. It's right at the very beginning. Stand beside her and guide her. Yeah, that's right. Could be right at the beginning. Is it at the end? From the mountains to the No, it's just the one time. Okay. So, so the words guide her are toward the beginning of the song.

So, you know, now, but I think again it depends on whether or not they use that opening verse, which sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But the song itself is toward the beginning because the opening verse is really a talk, isn't it? No, I spoke it because I wasn't get all oporadic on you. Sorry. Let me Here we go. Okay.

Okay. Okay. I'll just take your point. Thank you. Um, yeah. Now I really hear it in my ear. In the IFB, it's really clear. [Applause] play it from the PC and then you can always cut it. Okay, let's go. Yeah, you can do that. Well, no. We'll say though, listen to it again and we'll play it again. Um, we may or may not. You do viewers here. Yeah, we want like two and a half. Two and a half total. Bad Bunny sits during God Bless America. sits during God Bless America. What? What's that? Oh, can't stand feels like it's something. I can't stand this. I don't think we want to say that. Don't publish it yet. We Well, we want to look at it. Here we go. Two and a half just um and we did Bad Bunny and BB block. Okay. Anyone else? No. No. So, earlier we were talking about uh Bad Bunny and the backlash against him being selected. Mike Johnson, the speaker of the house, saying that he was not the right pick for the Super Bowl halftime because not not a good role model.

Well, I think the speaker of the house will be interested in seeing what happened at Yankee Stadium last night. Uh, Bad Bunny was sitting there behind home plate. Uh, they actually showed him at one point during the game because he a foul ball came in in his section. But we just got some an image of Bad Bunny later in the game during the seventh inning stretch um when at Yankee Stadium and a lot of stadiums they traditionally play God Bless America.

They ask everyone to stand and remove their hats just like the national anthem. And what you see in this image here is Bad Bunny and his friends sitting during God Bless America. So this is a live photo so you can actually hear a second of what was actually happening during the moment he was sitting here. So we're going to play it for you. Um and it's very quick but to our ear and we've listened to this multiple times.

You seem to hear the crowd singing guide her as in stand beside her and guide her. And you'll see you'll hear the voice the voices go down. So we'll play it a couple of times. Here it is. Guide her. [Applause] Yeah. Guide her. Guide her. So that's toward the beginning of the song depending on whether they use the pream opening. Yeah. But uh but Bad Bunny is sitting there in his and a green uh baseball cap uh with his friends. Now, is it a big deal? There are going to be people who certainly will make a big deal of the fact that he was not standing during God Bless America.

We don't know, haven't seen any images of him during the national anthem. Um, but I will say I having been at a lot of baseball games at Yankee Stadium, not necessarily everyone stands for God Bless America, but I will also say you notice when people don't. Yeah. It just kind of because most people do and you know some people sit for different reasons. Can't say what bad bunnies were for sitting and and you know again um because he doesn't stand. I mean, look, we've seen athletes protest in various ways and people have a right to if that's what he's doing. I mean, we can't jump in his head and say in his protest has been doing it because he sitting and didn't know that this was a thing you traditionally stand for, but it's such a politically charged thing right now, right, that, you know, we've already heard, you know, Mike Johnson and others, you know, go after him just because this is going to add fuel to that fire.

Anya from Kansas City. I'm shocked by this. I think it's a huge deal. You know, sports is the one thing that brings all Americans together, including Americans that believe in diversity, equality, and inclusion. So, when you sit down during a song like God Bless America at a Yankees game, it kind of feels like a slap in the face to all Americans, you know, not just Republicans. Well, we will see, but there's going to be fallout.

Yes. Okay guys, we got to scoot. Um, we got to work on some on the story. So, um, is the bumper? Thanks for sticking with us here. See you tomorrow. Um, Hey,.
