00:00We're gonna start with Ben Affleck.
00:02Ben Affleck is angry over his, not just access,
00:09but the fact that he's getting grilled
00:12every time he goes back and forth
00:14from his Pacific Palisades home.
00:16Which is right on the border of the evacuation area.
00:20And he's on the side that's not evacuated,
00:22but very close to the side that is.
00:25Pacific Palisades is basically in ruins right now.
00:28There are not just police and fire there,
00:31but there are a lot of security guards
00:33who are kind of acting as police,
00:36making sure looters don't come into the areas,
00:39arsonists don't come into the areas.
00:40Local residents there in Brentwood
00:43and in Pacific Palisades have hired these security guards.
00:47And they are clearly, the reason they're there
00:49is to make sure there isn't looting.
00:51And they're questioning people.
00:52Ben is not happy about it.
00:55And in this video, he's giving an earful
00:59to a couple of LAPD officers who are outside of his home.
01:13He's telling the police, they are,
01:15and we know this because we've been in touch
01:17with his people, that he's telling the police
01:20that they are giving him, the security guards
01:22are giving him the third degree
01:24every time he wants to go to his house
01:26or come out of his house, that they're questioning him.
01:29And he's saying, look, I'm not in the evacuation area.
01:32I'm going to my home.
01:34I can't just be stopped every time
01:37that I want to go get something in my home
01:39or go to my home.
01:41So he's angry.
01:42We always talk about celebrities getting special treatment
01:44and it's not a good thing.
01:45In this one case, those private security guards
01:48are there to prevent people from looting
01:49or maybe an arsonist coming in.
01:51If you know Ben Affleck is not looting
01:53or going to start a fire, let him come in out of his house.
01:55You know that one's okay.
01:56Focus your attention on people who might be mysterious
01:59that you don't know in the neighborhood.
02:00Yeah, and it's probably what Ben is saying
02:02to the cops who, by the way,
02:03and there's a moment in this video,
02:05because it went on for several minutes,
02:07he was chewing their ears.
02:09But I think there's a moment where he says,
02:11look, I know it's not you guys
02:13and I understand you guys, why you're here,
02:15but give me a break.
02:17I mean, he's just so clearly frustrated.
02:21That he is letting them hear about it,
02:24but they didn't have any reaction, by the way.
02:26I mean, they were listening clearly,
02:28but I think they had already decided,
02:31look, there's nothing we can do about it.
02:32I got a theory on this.
02:34On Sunday.
02:35Is the theory necessary?
02:35Yes.
02:36I think there's a reason he's so angry.
02:39On Sunday, the FBI showed up at Ben's house
02:43because a drone had hit one of the super scoopers
02:48and disabled it and the FBI felt that the drone
02:54had been launched from an area that's near Ben's house
02:58and they were going door to door to check.
03:00So here you got the FBI at his house on Sunday.
03:03He's getting grilled each day coming in.
03:06And it's sort of like, why is law enforcement all over me?
03:10All over my house.
03:11And that's why I'm thinking.
03:12And he knows also, law enforcement's all over his house.
03:14And he also knows that the photo agencies,
03:16the paparazzi are all there.
03:18They're watching all of this.
03:19And maybe they just want to talk to Ben Affleck.
03:21I mean, he's right there and you have an excuse
03:22to go up to him and he can't really like say,
03:24leave me alone exactly.
03:25So maybe some people are taking advantage of that.
03:28Or they're just being super vigilant
03:31and they're just asking questions.
03:33You know, I don't want to be, I mean,
03:36I'm just going to say it.
03:37I mean, I think there are some people who are looking
03:39and saying the guy's in a BMW,
03:41that it's not going to be a looter
03:43that's just going to roll up in a car like that.
03:46But I don't think that's true.
03:48I know the car, but they know Ben Affleck's face.
03:49No, that could be true.
03:50You could be a car thief, but it's Ben Affleck.
03:51He's pretty recognizable.
03:52He's pretty recognizable,
03:53but I don't know that people are celebrities,
03:56outscoping celebrities in the area.
03:58I mean, there are a lot of celebrities there
04:00and I'm not sure security guards are trained to do that.
04:03I think they're looking at, there's a human being there.
04:06So I don't think it's like, oh my God, that's Ben Affleck.
04:09I just don't think that, I really don't.
04:11It's Brittany in Oklahoma City.
04:13And I actually feel for Ben Affleck
04:16because I feel like he's notorious for being in the media
04:19for looking annoyed or looking irritated
04:21or being photographed or filmed at the wrong time.
04:24And celebrities, they're just like us.
04:26He just wants to get home, but all of it's documented,
04:29all of it's filmed.
04:30And he's like, because I wouldn't,
04:31if I was getting irritated trying to get in my home
04:34in and out, I'd be like, okay, come on.
04:35Like, do I have to, we have to go through this every time.
04:37I have to act right,
04:38because I'm going to be filmed by the paparazzi.
04:40So yeah, it would just be hard to be in that situation.
04:43I don't think it's like, oh my God, that's Ben Affleck.
04:46I just don't think that, I really don't.
04:49It's like, oh my God, that's Ben Affleck.
04:51I just don't think that, I really don't.
04:53I feel like he's notorious for being in the media
04:55for looking annoyed or filming at the wrong time.
04:58And he's like, oh my God, I just don't think that,
05:00I really don't.
05:01I feel like he's notorious for being in the media
05:02for looking annoyed or filming at the wrong time.
05:04And he's like, oh my God, that's Ben Affleck.
05:06I just don't think that, I really don't.
05:07I feel like he's notorious for being in the media
05:09for looking annoyed or filming at the wrong time.
05:11And he's like, oh my God, that's Ben Affleck.
