Uh, i- it's unbelievable, yet it's, it's common.

Well, I think it's a sign of desperation too.

I think he, he sees the numbers, and I think they're much worse than even the public knows.

I mean, you, it's not about purple states or swing states.

It's red states.

I mean, they're pulling money out of red...

Like, they already see, you know, North Carolina, they've already basically given up that Senate seat, and they're moving it into s- like, red states like Indiana.

Literally

I guarantee, uh, the Lacrosse, uh, stu- you know, the students from Duke that on the Lacrosse team have carried that burden of the accusation well into their careers.

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, you know, in the Google age, you know, once you're named, um, you know, that's up there forever.

And so the, the seven men who have been named.

Now, the woman's identity is being shielded.

She's already being treated like a, a, a victim even though no charges have been filed.

Um, but the seven men have been named- And, you know, it, it, it's, it's further complicated by, you know, uh, several news organizations, including ABC and New York Times, have gotten a hold of some of the text messages that the woman, the accuser, sent to the, uh, alleged, uh, perpetrators the next day, joking about it and being very flirtatious and, uh, saying, you know, uh, saying things that sh- that, that contradict what she's saying now.

Yeah

Uh, why don't you jump into it, set the stage for us.

Yeah.

So, you know, um, la- la- last week we learned, sadly, that, um, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband, nightlife impresario Rande Gerber, their son Presley Gerber, uh, died of an overdose.

You know, he was 27 years old.

Um, he was a model like his mother, and he had a long history with drugs, and he died, um, a- weirdly, in, in a sober house in, in a rehab facility.

And, you know, that happens sadly, but one of the things that's really, uh, opening up and exposing is the fashion industry and media and modeling, and the, the, the horrors of that and the pressures of that.

And, you know, this, this, this poor young man, um, was not ready for it and, um, you know, he got thrust into this fast-paced world of, you know, flying around the world as a teenager and being put in situations where you're, you know, exposing yourself and, um, and he couldn't handle it.

Yeah

... obviously he's hyper-focused on.

Yeah, he folded.

Um, and he pressured the attorney general to drop the suit.

So basically, Paramount got what they wanted.

I mean, the, the agreement that they made with the state attorney general is, is basically toothless.

It really has no, um, they, they really didn't give any ground, and, uh, the guy, Rob Bonta, who was the, uh, California State Attorney General, has, um, has basically said, you know, he got played.

Um, so yeah, so it's going through, and now we're seeing, you know, they're naming new, uh, executives in charge of content and then, and a new co-CEO.

Talk about that.
