Adam Carolla Exposes How Government Terrorizes Taxpayers While Ignoring Billion-Dollar Fraud

/

Comedian and commentator Adam Carolla criticized what he described as excessive and intrusive government inspections on private construction projects, arguing that ordinary taxpayers face far stricter scrutiny than other areas that receive far less oversight.

Carolla shared personal experiences involving building inspectors showing up unannounced to his own projects and immediately halting work, even for minor repairs. He described inspectors entering job sites without warning and demanding documentation on the spot.

“But here’s what I was thinking when it comes to your job site, and these guys are fanatical about inspections,” Carolla said.

“Meaning, I have done more than one project where an inspector just pulled up on his own accord, got out of his car, walked onto the job site, into my house in one case, and onto another building and another case, and literally went, what’s going on?”

Carolla said the inspectors immediately asserted authority and began questioning workers and homeowners.

“And we’re like, who are you? Yeah, I’m a building inspector. What is going who’s in charge here?” he recalled.

He said inspectors quickly moved to permit enforcement.

“And you go, who’s the homeowner? I go, I don’t know. You got permit for this? No, you don’t have a permit for what’s going on here.”

According to Carolla, even routine fixes triggered shutdowns.

“Well, I was just fixing the drywall. Shut it down. Shut it down, right?” he said.

“You on that ladder, get down. You go home. Everyone goes home.”

He described inspectors ordering all work to stop until paperwork was approved.

“And when you get your when you get your plans together, and you get your permit, and you get your whatever, you can come back and see me until then, there’s nothing going on here. Now get out,” Carolla said.

“He’s standing in my house telling me, shut it down. That’s what they do.”

Carolla said building inspectors leave no room for flexibility and require full compliance even after work is completed.

“Deputy inspectors, building inspectors, by the way, there is no sliding anything past them,” he said.

“There’s no Well, we closed up the wall. Why didn’t inspect the electrical wiring. Well, take my word for it, no, take the drywall back off the wall.”

He contrasted that level of scrutiny with what he claimed is far looser oversight in other areas.

“But when it comes to Somali daycare centers, Somali daycare centers, not nearly as stringent, right? Nope, no, that’s nothing,” Carolla said.

Carolla also pointed to other government programs he believes lack comparable enforcement.

“When it comes to you, taxpayer building your own home at your own expense. They are up your ass, 24/7, nonstop,” he said.

“And when it comes to overseeing covid checks going to prisoners, not so much inspection, going on. Notice that?”

Hollywood Actress and Kamala Voter Breaks With the Left on Venezuela Reality

/

Actress and activist Sara Foster publicly addressed the ongoing situation in Venezuela, calling on critics to focus on the country’s humanitarian crisis rather than framing recent developments solely through a political lens.

In a detailed statement, Foster said she has spent more than a decade directly assisting Venezuelan families by helping provide food, medicine, and other basic necessities.

She emphasized that her involvement long predates the current political moment and is rooted in personal relationships with families living under extreme conditions.

“I did not vote for Trump, not that I was excited to vote for Kamala, but I did,” Foster said.

“But what I have done is facilitate food, medicine, basic essentials for children in Venezuela.”

Foster said her work in Venezuela spans more than ten years and includes sustained contact with families facing severe deprivation.

“For over 10 years, I have developed close relationships with families there, with mothers there who have watched their children die because you cannot imagine the conditions in Venezuela,” she said.

“You cannot imagine parents unable to get the basic essentials for their children.”

She described speaking directly with mothers who experienced the loss of their children inside their own homes, stressing that the reality on the ground is often misunderstood by outsiders.

“I spoke to families, to mothers who watch their children die on the floors of their home,” Foster said.

“You cannot imagine.”

Foster noted that she has been publicly posting and speaking about Venezuela and Nicolás Maduro for more than a decade, long before the current attention on the country.

“I’ve been posting about Maduro and the state of Venezuela for a very long time, over 10 years,” she said.

Addressing critics directly, Foster urged people to understand the humanitarian situation before assigning political motives or criticizing reactions to recent events.

“So before you sit and criticize and I can’t pretend to know how this will impact America, I’m honestly just so focused on the relief I feel for the people of Venezuela,” she said.

She pushed back against framing the situation as a partisan issue tied to U.S. politics.

“So before you want to politicize this and make this a Trump thing, look into the conditions and the quality of life for how people have been surviving and living in Venezuela,” Foster said.

Foster described the current moment in Venezuela as a turning point for ordinary citizens, rejecting the idea that the country is under occupation.

“Venezuela is not occupied today,” she said.

“Venezuela is liberated today.”

She encouraged critics to research the situation independently.

“Truly learn about it,” Foster said.

“Read about it again.”

Foster also acknowledged that geopolitical motivations, including oil interests, may play a role in the broader situation, but said that does not negate the immediate impact on Venezuelans.

“I am not saying that this isn’t for the oil all that okay, maybe it is,” she said.

“Maybe it’s truly sinister, but for the people of Venezuela today, this is a good thing. This is a good thing.”

Rob Schneider Issues a Blunt Warning to America While Honoring Charlie Kirk

/

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider delivered a wide-ranging statement reflecting on the influence of Charlie Kirk, arguing that Kirk’s work challenged foundational assumptions among young Americans whilehighlighting what Schneider described as the fragile state of freedom in the United States.

Schneider said Kirk played a pivotal role for university students across the country by questioning ideas that many had taken for granted and by framing America as central to the survival of Western civilization.

“Charlie did for me what he did for so many university students across this country. He dismantled foundational thinking,” Schneider said.

“He understood that America is now the keystone of Western civilization. However, he also knew how precarious it was and that it would take only one generation to lose it.”

Schneider said Kirk consistently warned that Americans should not expect outside forces to preserve the nation if it falters.

“He said no one is coming to save us. There will be no Marines from some other country landing on our beaches. There will be no Marshall Plan to financially bail us out. We are the Marines,” Schneider said.

According to Schneider, Kirk framed the moment as a decisive one in human history, with the survival of individual liberty at stake.

“So the question is simply this, will America be a temporary experiment in human history, a brief moment where freedom for the individual enjoyed by relatively few people in human history, before it returns to some brutal feudal system where individual freedom is lost to a world government with complete control,” Schneider said, adding that preserving freedom would require more than “political posturing.”

Schneider said Kirk believed faith was essential to sustaining liberty and warned that freedom cannot survive when it is detached from deeper moral foundations.

“Charlie understood something fundamental without faith, freedom becomes fragile. Our roots must be rooted in something higher than government, and he warned us, a civilization that abandons God will deteriorate and ultimately collapse from the inside out,” Schneider said.

Schneider also recalled Kirk’s emphasis on the dangers of dehumanizing political opponents and the importance of maintaining dialogue.

“Charlie said, when you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group,” Schneider said.

“What we as a culture have to get back to, he said, is to be able to have reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option.”

He described the current state of the country as a “cold civil war” and said Kirk believed debate and dialogue were necessary to prevent further escalation.

“Now we are in a cold civil war right now, but we must do everything in our power to make sure that this doesn’t become an actual hot Civil War, and we must do that with dialog and debate,” Schneider said. “We must let the better nature that each of us have rise to the surface.”

Schneider contrasted public reaction to Kirk’s death with episodes of unrest in recent years.

“I want to point out that after Charlie was murdered, no American cities were burned to the ground, no cars were set ablaze. No looting took place. The only burning was candles, candles to honor someone who dearly loved our country and fought passionately to preserve these unique liberties that so many have fought and died for,” he said.

Schneider then drew a historical parallel to Telemachus, a priest killed in 404 AD after opposing violent spectacles, and compared that moment to Kirk’s actions on college campuses.

“In 404 AD, the crowd killed the priest because he told them the truth. He told them to stop enjoying the blood sport,” Schneider said.

“In 2025 Charlie Kirk jumped into our modern Coliseum, the arena of the university campus. He stood between the mob and their rage, he handed the crowd a microphone. He gave his opponents a voice.”

Schneider said Kirk sought to redirect hostility toward faith and dialogue rather than violence.

“He sat there, told the truth, took their fury and tried to move them and our nation closer to God and closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and they killed him for it,” Schneider said.

He expressed hope that Kirk’s death would mark a turning point similar to the end of gladiatorial games in ancient Rome.

“May Charlie Kirk’s death be what Telemachus death was. May it be the end of the games, the end of the spectacle, the end of the blood sport,” Schneider said.

Schneider said Kirk wanted to be remembered for his faith and courage.

“Charlie said he wanted to be remembered for courage and faith, and he will be always,” Schneider said.

“And though we lost him way too soon, Charlie Kirk knew you don’t kill a Christian. You only change his address.”

Pulp Fiction, The Mask Actor Found Dead With Injuries in Bloody Manhattan Apartment

/

Actor Peter Greene, known for his roles in Pulp Fiction and The Mask, was found dead last week inside his Lower East Side apartment in Manhattan, with injuries on his body and blood throughout the residence, according to law enforcement sources, as reported by Page Six. Greene was 60 years old.

Authorities discovered Greene lying face down with a facial injury inside his apartment on Dec. 12.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ on Thursday that the actor had “some injuries” on his body, but investigators have not yet determined what caused them.

An official cause of death has not been released by the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office.

The New York Police Department has not publicly detailed whether the injuries were the result of an accident, medical event, or foul play.

Page Six reported that it reached out to Greene’s representative and the NYPD for comment, but no response has been confirmed.

A neighbor who spoke to the New York Daily News described the scene inside Greene’s apartment as graphic.

“There was blood everywhere,” the neighbor said. The neighbor also claimed that a handwritten note was discovered at the scene alongside Greene’s body.

According to the neighbor, the note read: “I’m still a Westie,” a reference to the Irish-American gang that operated in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood during the 1970s.

Authorities have not confirmed the note’s significance or whether it is connected to Greene’s death.

Greene, a New York native, appeared in numerous films and television productions throughout his career, including his portrayal of Zed in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

He was also known for roles in The Mask, Training Day, and Laws of Attraction.

The actor had previously spoken publicly about his struggles with drug addiction and a past suicide attempt. However, those close to Greene have said they saw no signs that he was suicidal in the days leading up to his death.

Gregg Edwards, Greene’s former manager, told Page Six that the actor appeared to be in a positive frame of mind shortly before he died.

“Not at all,” Edwards said when asked whether Greene had seemed suicidal. Edwards added that Greene was in “good spirits on Wednesday,” just two days before he was found dead.

Friends also stated that Greene had been actively making plans for the upcoming holidays. New York-based actor and musician Skam Dust said Greene was planning to spend New Year’s Eve with him and others.

“He was going to rent a truck limousine, and Peter’s vision was that we were going to go bar hopping and restaurant hopping. He wasn’t suicidal,” Skam Dust said.

He added that the plans included spending time with Danny Diablo, also known as Lord Ezec, and graffiti writer MQ.

Investigators have not announced whether the death is being treated as suspicious, and no arrests have been made.

The Medical Examiner’s findings are expected to play a key role in determining the circumstances surrounding Greene’s death.

As of now, the investigation remains ongoing, with authorities awaiting toxicology results and further forensic analysis.

Hollywood Legend Calls Out California’s Voting Circus After His Ballot Was Rejected

/

Actor Kelsey Grammer said he believes Democrats relied on changes to election procedures to win recent elections, pointing to comments he attributes to actress Jane Fonda and to his own experience voting in California during the 2020 election.

Grammer said his concerns began after recalling remarks he said Fonda made during the COVID-19 pandemic, when lockdowns and expanded mail-in voting were implemented across the country.

LOS ANGELES, CA – July 31, 2018: Kelsey Grammer at the Los Angeles premiere of “Like Father” at the Arclight Theatre

According to Grammer, those comments suggested the pandemic and voting changes were necessary to defeat the sitting president.

“I remember when Jane Fonda was talking about the the lockdown and covid 19. She said, if we can’t figure out how to unseat this president with a pandemic and the stuff that we all the power and the and the mail in ballots, she said it right out loud. She said, well, then we we’re ridiculous. We’re like incomple We’re incapable of winning an election,” Grammer said.

“And she was right that, but that is what they needed to win it.”

Grammer said he did not previously believe Democrats would manipulate election systems but said his view changed after observing voting practices in California.

He criticized the state’s election laws, arguing they allow widespread participation without sufficient safeguards.

“I didn’t used to believe that. I didn’t believe the Democrats would ever resort to that, but in watching it, the vote practice, the voting practices that they’ve implemented here in California to allow anybody to vote, as long as they’re just, you know, walking around and have a heartbeat is staggering,” Grammer said.

“And they have no interest in it being legal, none at all.”

Grammer went further, claiming that voting systems allow ballots to be cast multiple times and even by individuals who should no longer be listed as eligible voters.

“And for those who do not have a heartbeat but haven’t been dropped in the roles, they want them to vote too, and they’ll even let them vote several times,” he said.

Grammer also described a personal experience he said occurred during the 2020 election when he attempted to deliver his mail-in ballot directly to a polling location.

He said he wanted to ensure the ballot was received and counted.

“But I walked into the vote my voting, my polling place for the 2020 election. And I said, Listen, I thought I just bring this in. This is my mail in ballot. I wanted to bring it in and make sure you guys got it,” Grammer said.

According to Grammer, a poll worker informed him that his ballot was not valid after checking the system.

“The girl looked at me. She said she punched a couple of buttons and said, Oh, that’s That’s not legal. Your your ballot is illegal. It’s invalid,” Grammer said.

Grammer said he asked for an explanation but was not given one and was instead offered a provisional ballot.

“I said, why? And she said, No reason. You can fill out a provisional ballot, if you’d like,” he said.

Grammer said he then attempted to present identification to resolve the issue, but was told that accepting identification was not allowed under California law.

“So I reached in my pocket, I still let me give you some ID, and she said, Oh no, no, it’s against the law for me to take ID,” Grammer said.

He said the experience left him uncertain about whether his vote would be counted and reinforced his concerns about the state’s election system.

“So I thought, well, it’s mixed up,” Grammer said.

Grammer said he later received confirmation that the ballot was not counted.

“And I did finally get noticed about a year and a half ago that that ballot was not counted,” he said.

“So maybe I was just a registered Republican.”

Hollywood’s James Cameron is Big Mad at Trump for Not Buying the Climate Crisis Narrative

/

Avatar director James Cameron lashed out at President Donald Trump in a recent interview, accusing the president of pushing the world “backwards” by rejecting the claims and policy demands of global warming activists.

Cameron directed his criticism at Trump personally, using explicit language while discussing climate change, artificial intelligence, and the future of Hollywood.

Cameron made the remarks during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he expressed frustration with what he described as humanity’s refusal to accept climate change warnings.

He claimed that President Trump’s resistance to climate activism has placed the world on the wrong trajectory.

“I’m frustrated because the human race seems to be delusional about what they think is going to happen next. We are going backwards,” Cameron said.

The filmmaker escalated his criticism by singling out Trump, referring to him in personal terms while granting permission for the remarks to be published verbatim.

The Terminator creator described President Trump as the “most narcissistic a**hole in history since f**king Nero,” before adding, “Yeah, you can quote that.”

Cameron argued that opposition to climate change activism is only one of several threats facing humanity.

During the interview, he also raised concerns about artificial intelligence and what he sees as the decline of the Hollywood film industry.

He suggested that his own work has played a role in shaping public awareness, though he acknowledged that there is no direct way to measure its impact.

“Who’s to say we wouldn’t be going backwards even faster if it wasn’t for these films? There isn’t an alternative Earth without ‘Avatar’ we can point to and say, ‘It made this measurable difference,’” Cameron said.

He added that he believes both he and his films are on what he called the “right side of history.”

Cameron has been a vocal advocate for climate-related causes for decades and has frequently used his platform to promote environmental activism.

His criticism of President Trump reflects long-standing tensions between Hollywood figures and political leaders who question or reject climate policy proposals favored by environmental groups.

In recent months, Cameron has also focused attention on artificial intelligence, expressing concern about how rapidly the technology is advancing.

Only weeks before the interview, Cameron said he was “horrified” by the possibility that AI could be used to create artificial actors indistinguishable from real people.

He warned that such developments could disrupt the entertainment industry and raise serious ethical questions.

Earlier this year, Cameron expanded his concerns beyond film, warning that artificial intelligence could pose serious risks if applied to military technology.

In August, he cautioned that allowing AI to control real-world weapons systems could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity.

Beyond technology and climate issues, Cameron has increasingly criticized changes within the entertainment business itself.

He has emerged as a vocal opponent of streaming platforms, particularly Netflix, and has publicly objected to the idea of streaming productions being considered for major film awards.

Cameron has argued that the inclusion of streaming content in Oscar nominations undermines traditional filmmaking and theatrical releases.

His opposition to Netflix extends to corporate consolidation within the media industry.

Cameron has said he supports Paramount’s hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros. Discovery, stating that he believes Netflix acquiring Warner Bros.

Discovery would harm Hollywood.

He described such a move as a “disaster” for the industry.

Cameron’s comments come as President Trump continues to reject climate alarmism and related policy initiatives, emphasizing economic growth, energy independence, and skepticism toward international climate agreements.

Trump has consistently questioned predictions made by climate activists and has opposed regulations he argues would damage American industry and workers.

The interview adds to a long history of public criticism from Hollywood figures directed at President Trump, particularly over environmental policy and cultural issues.

Cameron’s remarks stand out for their blunt language and for tying his personal filmmaking legacy to broader political and social debates.

While Cameron continues to promote his views through interviews and public statements, the Trump administration has remained firm in its approach to climate policy, rejecting what it describes as exaggerated claims and focusing instead on domestic economic priorities.

Cameron has been going at this for at least 15 years.

That’s before they changed the narrative to ‘climate change.’

Viral Video Shows Restaurant Owner Confronting Breastfeeding Mother in Georgia

Viral Video Shows Restaurant Owner Confronting Breastfeeding Mother in Georgia

/

A Florida mother says she was yelled at and ordered to leave a popular riverside restaurant in Georgia after breastfeeding her infant, an encounter she says she recorded on her cellphone and later shared online, triggering widespread scrutiny of the business and renewed discussion of legal protections for nursing mothers.

The incident occurred at Toccoa Riverside Restaurant in Blue Ridge, Georgia, according to Aris Kopiec, who told FOX Business she was dining with her husband, three young daughters — ages 4, 2, and 4 months — and family friends when her baby began to cry.

Kopiec said she latched her infant, immediately covered herself, and ensured she was fully concealed from the view of anyone outside her own table.

“The only people who could see me were at my table,” Kopiec said.

“I covered myself immediately.”

Kopiec said she then pulled her shirt back down and prepared to take her older children outside.

As she moved through the crowded enclosed porch area, she said she bumped into either a chair or another guest.

She said that was when a man she believes to be the restaurant’s owner approached her.

“He looked at me and said, ‘You can’t do that here,’” Kopiec recalled.

“I wasn’t even breastfeeding at that point. I was holding my baby in one arm and helping my kids with the other. He wouldn’t let me get any words out. He kept saying, ‘I have to protect my restaurant. You need to go to a corner.’”

Kopiec said she and a friend took the older children outside while their spouses stayed behind to pay the bill.

She said restaurant staff apologized to the men in the group, but not to her.

When Kopiec returned to collect her belongings, she said the confrontation escalated.

She said she calmly informed the man she believes is the owner that Georgia law explicitly protects breastfeeding in public places.

“I just told him, if he wanted to protect his restaurant, he should follow the law,” Kopiec said.

“That’s when he lost his mind.”

Kopiec said the man refused to provide his name.

After a friend mentioned having his photograph, Kopiec began recording video on her phone.

In the video shared with FOX Business, a man standing behind the counter is heard shouting, “Get on out of here!” as Kopiec holds her infant in her arms.

“It was so aggressive,” Kopiec said.

“I knew I had to get my kids out of there.”

She said she left the restaurant shaken by the encounter.

“Honestly, I felt like I was in the wrong,” Kopiec said.

“My instinct was to apologize. But then I reminded myself — women have a legal right to breastfeed. I did nothing wrong.”

Public records and local business listings identify 67-year-old Tim Richter as the owner of Toccoa Riverside Restaurant.

A Facebook post from the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce in September praised Richter as a longtime owner and highlighted the restaurant’s hospitality, a description that many online commenters have contrasted with the tone captured in the viral video.

In a phone call with FOX Business, a man who identified himself as the restaurant’s owner declined to confirm whether he is the individual shown in the video.

He defended the business, stating, “I’ve had the restaurant for thirty-three years. We’ve been breastfeeding for thirty-three years,” and claimed the incident had been “staged for clicks.”

Georgia law provides that a mother may breastfeed “in any location where the mother and baby are otherwise authorized to be,” protecting nursing mothers from being removed or restricted for feeding their children in public or private spaces.

Etiquette expert and author Alison Cheperdak told FOX Business the incident raises serious concerns about how guests are treated. Cheperdak, whose etiquette book “Was it Something I Said?” is scheduled for release early next spring, said the video shows conduct that conflicts with basic standards of hospitality.

“Breastfeeding is natural and legally protected,” Cheperdak said. “Hospitality is about care, not confrontation, and raising one’s voice at a guest is never acceptable.”

She added that mothers should not feel compelled to apologize for feeding their children.

“A calm explanation is appropriate, but the responsibility is on the restaurant to treat her with respect,” Cheperdak said. “Even if a restaurant wants a quieter atmosphere, policies should never undermine basic respect for families.”

The restaurant has previously faced controversy. In 2023, local Atlanta outlets and Food and Wine reported that Toccoa Riverside drew backlash after posting an “adult surcharge” for parents deemed “unable to parent.” A FOX 5 Atlanta report on the issue said some parents claimed the owner scolded their children and that a 3-year-old was allegedly made to cry.

Kopiec said she hopes the attention surrounding the incident leads to change.

“Every nursing mom deserves to feel safe feeding her baby,” she said. “We have a legal right to breastfeed, period.”

She said she does not intend to hold onto anger over the encounter.

“I’ve chosen to forgive,” Kopiec said.

“But I would really like to see them welcome breastfeeding moms.”

Hollywood Legend Rob Reiner and His Wife Found Stabbed to Death in Los Angeles

/

Legendary film director Rob Reiner and his longtime wife were found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home Sunday, and law enforcement sources say the couple’s adult son is being treated as a person of interest as investigators work to determine what led to the killings.

Officers responded to a call at the residence Sunday afternoon and discovered a man and a woman suffering from stab wounds, according to law enforcement sources.

The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene.

Sources later identified the victims as Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, who were married in 1989.

According to those same sources, the couple’s 32-year-old son, screenwriter Nick Reiner, has been identified as a person of interest in the investigation.

Authorities emphasized that no arrests had been announced as of Sunday evening.

In a statement released following the discovery, Reiner’s family said, “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”

Investigators believe a knife was used in the attack, according to sources familiar with the case.

Police activity remained heavy throughout the afternoon and evening as detectives worked inside and around the property.

Officers blocked off the street in front of the home while investigators were seen going in and out of the residence.

Nick Reiner has previously spoken publicly about struggles with drug addiction and homelessness.

In a 2016 interview with People, he said, “I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun.”

A reporter at the scene observed a man who identified himself as Rocco tell officers he was Reiner’s assistant and offer assistance in accessing the home.

Several high-profile figures were also seen arriving at the property following the discovery of the bodies.

A neighbor told The Post that comedian Billy Crystal, a longtime friend of Reiner, arrived at the home. Larry David was also seen there later, and ABC 7 reported that Crystal “looked like he was about to cry.”

LAPD Detective Chief Alan Hamilton addressed reporters outside the home during a press conference that drew criticism for its lack of clarity.

Hamilton said the department was still in the process of obtaining a search warrant for the property roughly six hours after the 911 call was made.

He told reporters that residents of Brentwood were not believed to be in danger but confirmed that no suspect had been taken into custody.

Hamilton declined to officially confirm the identities of the deceased at that time.

Despite that, public tributes began appearing online from state and local officials.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass posted a statement saying, “This is a devastating loss for our city and our country. Rob Reiner’s contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom also shared a statement on X, writing, “Jen and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.”

Newsom added, “Rob was a passionate advocate for children and for civil rights — from taking on Big Tobacco, fighting for marriage equality, to serving as a powerful voice in early education. He made California a better place through his good works. Rob will be remembered for his remarkable filmography and for his extraordinary contribution to humanity.”

The Reiner home was decorated for the holidays at the time of the incident and sits in a high-end Brentwood neighborhood known for its privacy, with large hedges and gated properties.

The residence is located less than two miles from the site where Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered in 1994.

Reiner, 78, was one of Hollywood’s most prominent directors, known for a string of successful films in the 1980s and 1990s.

His directing credits include “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride,” “This Is Spinal Tap,” and “A Few Good Men.”

Before his directing career, Reiner gained national recognition as Mike “Meathead” Stivic on the CBS sitcom “All in the Family,” a role that earned him two Emmy Awards.

The investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to piece together what happened inside the home.

Authorities have not released further details about a motive or timeline and have said additional information will be provided as the case develops.

Jenny McCarthy Says Charlie Kirk’s Death Changed Her Faith and Politics Forever

Jenny McCarthy Says Charlie Kirk’s Death Changed Her Faith and Politics Forever

/

Jenny McCarthy described her evolution from a parent publicly linking vaccines to her son’s autism to a conservative Christian who says her faith and politics changed following the death of Charlie Kirk.

In a wide-ranging statement, McCarthy addressed her past activism, changes in medical understanding, health issues affecting women, and what she described as a growing conservative presence within Hollywood.

McCarthy said her early involvement in vaccine debates became so prominent that it entered medical education.

“There’s now a chapter in med school books that say how to deal with Jenny McCarthy type parents,” she said.

She recounted a moment that intensified her concerns after seeing a magazine cover while shopping.

“How did you link that? It was the vaccines to your son’s autism?, the interviewer asked.

I was in the grocery store on a cover of Time magazine while I was checking out. Mothers are concerned that the MMR is causing the child’s autism. I felt like someone punched me in the stomach,” McCarthy said.

She described her son Evan’s early development and health struggles, saying she did not initially recognize certain warning signs.

“By this point, Evan’s milestones were all there, but Evan was suffering from other things I didn’t know were warning signs the autism that we are seeing,” she said.

McCarthy detailed behaviors she associated with severe autism cases, stating, “the kids that can’t speak, that are head banging, that are eating their feces, that are spreading feces on the wall all day long.”

McCarthy rejected the idea that rising autism diagnoses are solely the result of improved detection.

“No, no, that’s not just better diagnosis. There is an absolute shift in the paradigm of our health,” she said.

She also discussed medical issues she believes affect women later in life, particularly related to genetics and nutrition.

“What happens if you have the MTHFR gene and you enter perimenopause and you have not dealt with it?” the interviewer asked.

McCarthy responded: “Oh, if you are deficient in certain minerals, you are gonna feel it. You are going to go through World War Three in your own body.”

Reflecting on her own experience, she added, “I wish I would have started preparing for perimenopause by 35.”

McCarthy addressed political attitudes in Hollywood, saying conservatism is more widespread than publicly acknowledged.

“There’s more conservatives than you would know, hiding out in Hollywood,” she said.

She linked that shift to events following the death of Charlie Kirk.

“After Charlie was murdered, you posted yourself listening and singing worship music,” the interviewer said.

“Look at how many people came closer to God, even including myself.”

She described a personal turning point after Kirk’s death, stating, “When he passed, I completely surrendered. I am so devoted.”

McCarthy said her faith deepened significantly and framed it as a defining change.

“I just want Charlie to know that he changed the world,” she said.

When asked about her political alignment, McCarthy gave a direct answer.

“Where do you consider yourself to be politically now?” McCarthy was asked.

She explained that the visibility of others sharing similar views strengthened her confidence.

“Conservative. You know why I feel more confident, because the army has grown,” McCarthy said.

Comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan spoke at length about Christianity, biblical interpretation, and the potential intersection of faith and technology during a recent appearance on the program “American Alchemy.”

Throughout the interview, Rogan described Christian scripture as “fascinating,” spoke positively about his church experience, and offered a series of speculative questions about how people understand ancient texts.

Rogan discussed how information passed across generations can shift, using examples from modern life to illustrate how future societies might interpret current knowledge.

“We’ll tell everybody about the internet. We’ll tell everybody about airplanes. We’ll tell everybody about SpaceX; as much as you can remember, you’ll tell people, but you won’t know how it’s done. You won’t know what it is. And I think that’s how you get to, like, the Adam and Eve story,” he said.

Rogan added that he believes biblical accounts are “recounting real truth,” and then raised a question he said he has been considering: “Who’s Jesus?” Moving into a hypothetical scenario, Rogan asked whether the return of Jesus could take a technological form.

“Jesus is born out of a virgin mother. What’s more virgin than a computer?” Rogan said.

He continued, “So if you’re going to get the most brilliant, loving, powerful person that gives us advice and can show us how to live to be in sync with God. Who better than artificial intelligence to do that? If Jesus does return, even if Jesus was a physical person in the past, you don’t think that He could return as artificial intelligence?”

Host Jesse Michels did not accept the idea.

Before expanding on his point, Rogan clarified that he was not suggesting artificial intelligence would be Jesus but that it could function as a kind of return in terms of impact and ability.

“Artificial intelligence could absolutely return as Jesus. Not just return as Jesus, but return as Jesus with all the powers of Jesus,” Rogan said.

“Like all the magic tricks, all the ability to bring people back from the dead, walk on water, levitation, water into wine.”

Michels responded that such a scenario resembled an unwanted “dystopian” outcome.

Rogan disputed that description.

“It’s only dystopian if you think that we’re a perfect organism that can’t be improved upon. And that’s not the case,” he said.

“That’s clearly not the case based on our actions, based on society as a whole, based on the overall state of the world. It’s not. We certainly can be improved upon.”

While Michels acknowledged the possibility of moral or ethical improvement, he said attempts to do so through a computer “seems destructive.”

The conversation then turned to Rogan’s personal experience with Christianity.

Rogan spoke highly of the scripture he has been reading and of the Christian community he has encountered.

“The scripture, to me, is what’s interesting; it’s fascinating,” he said.

“Christianity, at least, is the only thing I have experience with. It works. The people that are Christians, that go to this church that I go to, that I meet, that are Christian, they are the nicest f**king people you will ever meet.”

Rogan described everyday interactions that stood out to him, including his experience navigating the parking lot at his church.

“Everybody lets you go in front of them. There’s no one honking in the church parking lot. It works,” he said.

Rogan said he sees genuine truth in biblical accounts, calling them an “ancient relaying” of actual events, though he expressed skepticism toward specific predictions about the future.

Speaking about interpretations of the book of Revelation, Rogan said of his pastor, “There’s no way that guy telling you that knows that. … He’s just a person. He’s a person like you or me that is like deeply involved in the scripture.”
