Thank you, Mr. Attorney General Todd Rakita. My name is Nigel. That is Ethan Hatcher over there in for Jason Hammer. One of the more heinous crimes and stories I've seen over the past year was the murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner. Rob Reiner, of course, was just a story to Hollywood director. Just one of the great favorite movies, The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, just to name a few, a few good men. Now, in his later years became a staunch Trump derangement syndrome symbol.
But that does not mean in any way, shape or form that he deserved the demise, especially at the hands allegedly of his own son, Nick Reiner.

**Ethan Hatcher** (0:56)
Brutal killing, nobody deserves to die that way.

**Nigel** (0:59)
Him and his wife both stabbed to death. And now, I find this very rich. I look at this and I'm like, this is total Hollywood.
This is total just being vapid. And you want to talk about no morals. You want to talk about, like, we've been talking about the Platner story about how Democrats have abandoned all their moral high ground to vote for the scumbag in Maine to run against Susan Collins. Nick Reiner is seeking unpaid money from a trust fund his parents set up for him for his legal defense.

**Ethan Hatcher** (1:42)
Oh, oh, my God, that's just so sickening.

**Nigel** (1:45)
Let that sink in for just a second.

**Ethan Hatcher** (1:49)
The definition of sociopathic narcissism is using the money from your parents' trust fund to defend against the charges from their murder, which you committed.

**Nigel** (2:02)
Allegedly.

**Ethan Hatcher** (2:03)
Allegedly.

**Nigel** (2:04)
Allegedly. Rob and Michelle Reiner established this trust for their kids with clear instructions on when the funds should be handed out.

**Ethan Hatcher** (2:21)
I bet they never thought of stipulating, in case of murder, do not dispense.

**Nigel** (2:25)
Yeah, I was going to say, there was not that caveat in the legalese.

**Ethan Hatcher** (2:30)
Holy cow.

**Nigel** (2:32)
Again, if you go back to some of Rob Reiner's directorial...
Well, his debut was...
I mean, this is Spinal Tap. I think he had a couple of others before that. But he was meathead in all of the family, and he was an actor. But Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, A Few Good Men, that was a stretch there that pales in comparison to some of the others. Started to wane as he got older. I don't really know. I loved LBJ. Have you seen LBJ?

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:11)
Yeah, I didn't care for it.

**Nigel** (3:14)
The Lyndon B. Johnson aligning himself with JFK, rising to the presidency, dealing with the civil rights struggles.

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:22)
A Few Good Men is so much better.

**Nigel** (3:24)
A Few Good Men is better, but I really liked LBJ. Woody Harrelson played LBJ, and I thought that was his last really good movie. But the fact that his son is trying to use funds from a trust that his parents set up for him to try to... His drug-addled son who's been dealing with that affliction, I say affliction, whatever, I don't want to make it sound like I feel sorry for him.

**Ethan Hatcher** (3:54)
I mean, it just gives you the heebie-jeebies that this guy is reaching into mommy and daddy's pocket in order to defend against their murder.

**Nigel** (4:01)
Wow.

**Ethan Hatcher** (4:03)
That he allegedly committed.
