Hot Mics with Billy Bush

Major developments in the Lindsay Clancy case, the Caleb Flynn murder trial gets underway, and Amy Griffin prepares to break her silence as new questions surround The Tell. Billy Bush breaks down the latest in the Lindsay Clancy case, including the addition of prominent attorney Martin Weinberg to the defense team as Kevin Reddington fights to prevent a second trial. Plus, a judge has ordered the identities of the jurors and alternates kept private indefinitely following concerns about potential harm, while questions continue over who first identified the alleged holdout juror. And Patrick Clancy is preparing to speak publicly on 60 Minutes about Cora, Dawson and Callan and the conspiracy theories that have targeted him since the case exploded nationally. Meanwhile, prosecutors still haven't publicly announced whether they intend to retry Lindsay Clancy, with a major hearing approaching on September 29. Then, former prosecutor Matt Murphy joins Billy as jury selection begins in the murder trial of Caleb Flynn, the former American Idol contestant and youth music pastor accused in the death of his wife, Ashley. They examine Flynn's 911 call, body-camera footage, the prosecution's witness-intimidation allegations involving his daughters, and the digital evidence that could become critical at trial. Flynn is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Plus, a major development in the controversy surrounding **Amy Griffin's bestselling memoir The Tell. With Griffin participating in a new article expected Monday, Billy examines the competing allegations at the center of the ongoing litigation: Jolene's claims that details of her childhood abuse were appropriated, the mysterious “Dominic Price,” the disputed identity of Claudia, the Palm Springs meeting Griffin denies ever happened, and the mysterious postcard that plays a pivotal role in Griffin's memoir. And Billy weighs in on Arch Manning's apology to ESPN's Holly Rowe after his comments about an AI-generated video sparked backlash—and why what Manning did *after* the mistake may matter more than the mistake itself.

A tragic morning in Los Angeles after a news helicopter crashes in Chatsworth, killing three people. Billy remembers the crew and speaks with FOX 11’s Stu Mundel about the loss and the unique risks faced by the journalists who cover Los Angeles from the air.

Then, the investigation into Hayden Panettiere’s death continues. Hayden’s former next-door neighbor Mia Terrazas joins Billy with firsthand observations about people she says she saw coming and going from Hayden’s apartment — and explains why she’s frustrated that investigators have apparently not yet visited the building.

Plus, prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner, and the fallout surrounding Ed Sheeran and Macklemore continues.

Then Billy goes deep on the case of Caleb Flynn, the former American Idol contestant and worship pastor accused of murdering his wife, Ashley. With Flynn’s trial beginning, Billy plays the 911 call from the night Ashley was killed and compares it with police body-camera footage. What does the prosecution say happened inside that Ohio home? Why was a garage door open despite a refrigerator blocking the entrance? What happened to the missing 9mm handgun? And what will Flynn’s young daughters tell the jury?

Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty.

Plus, a quick update on Amy Griffin and The Tell ahead of the anticipated New York Magazine story.

It’s all on today’s Hot Mics with Billy Bush.

Billy kicks things off with the Emmys, breaking down the red carpet hits, misses and moments that got his attention. Then, Macklemore is facing major fallout after another “Free Palestine” statement, with multiple dates on Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour reportedly disappearing from his schedule. Billy weighs free speech against consequences — and asks why the conversation so often ignores Hamas. Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney has figured out the controversy economy. Her provocative new sports-betting campaign has sparked another round of outrage from female athletes and critics — while generating tens of millions of views. Billy argues two things can be true: female athletes deserve respect for their accomplishments, and Sweeney can use sex appeal to build her brand and make money. There’s also a fascinating Hollywood twist involving legendary agent Ari Emanuel, who reportedly gave Sweeney some very personal career advice involving her boyfriend, **Scooter Braun**. Billy is joined by Raquel Debono, founder of “Make America Hot Again,” for a conversation about Sweeney, politics, attractiveness and why she thinks the cultural battle over beauty has gotten completely out of control. Plus, another Jolie-Pitt child drops Brad Pitt’s last name — and Billy returns to the growing debate over artificial intelligence. President Trump pushes back hard against Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s calls for AI guardrails, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Elon Musk and others weigh in on how quickly the technology should advance. And Billy closes with a chilling warning from Stephen Hawking — made all the way back in 2014 — about what could happen if artificial intelligence eventually surpasses human intelligence.** It’s politics, pop culture, Hollywood and AI — with room for more than one thing to be true. **Hot Mics with Billy Bush.

The fallout from the Lindsay Clancy trial continues as the holdout juror is publicly identified — and Aidan Kearney, aka Turtleboy, joins Billy to defend his decision to amplify the juror’s identity. Billy presses him on the public-interest argument, the juror’s reported legal history, questions surrounding the jury questionnaire, and whether any of this could affect what happens next in the Clancy case.

Billy also sounds the alarm over a very different story: some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence are now openly warning about the dangers of moving too fast. With calls for government oversight growing, is Washington prepared to deal with an AI race that could have enormous consequences?

Then, a major update on Amy Griffin and The Tell. Billy shares portions of Griffin’s lengthy interview with an Amarillo police investigator and examines new questions surrounding her allegations, the investigative material behind them, the media’s silence, and a planned multi-part Air Mail investigation that was ultimately killed.

Plus: the latest on Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson, the disturbing allegations involving KJ Biermann, Blake Lively’s microwave moment, Jennifer Lawrence’s Instagram debut, Britney Spears, and a wild Fashion Week confrontation with a PETA protester.

A major development in the Lindsay Clancy case changes the direction of today’s show.

Billy Bush reacts to explosive comments from Catholic priest and exorcist Father Dan Reehil about Lindsay Clancy — comments that quickly ignite a much larger conversation about mental illness, faith, mercy and how the case is being discussed publicly.

Then, Father Bob — the longtime pastor to Lindsay and Patrick Clancy — joins Billy to offer a deeply different perspective. He discusses the family, Lindsay’s mental health struggles, compassion in the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy, and his reaction to the rhetoric surrounding the case.

The conversation then turns inside the courtroom.

Juror #10 Nick Dargy speaks out about the mistrial and what happened during deliberations. Attorney Michael Bryant breaks down what unfolded in court and where the case stands, and Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington joins the discussion following the mistrial.

What happened inside that jury room? Where does the case go from here? And after everything that has happened, will Lindsay Clancy face another trial?

It’s a packed edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush, with new voices and new insight into one of the most closely watched criminal cases in the country.

Three jurors from the Lindsay Clancy trial are speaking out — and what they reveal about the lone holdout juror, reasonable doubt and the mistrial raises major new questions about what happened inside that jury room.

Billy Bush breaks down the jurors’ interviews with NBC10 Boston’s Sue O’Connell, including the foreperson’s stunning account of the moment she thought they had finally reached a verdict. Plus, has Kevin Reddington changed his tune on Patrick Clancy as the case heads toward its next major hearing?

Then, Billy takes a closer look at Amy Griffin and The Tell, including lingering questions surrounding Griffin’s account and details that have received little attention in the broader media coverage.

Plus, the new iPhone, Trump’s midterm convention, his Labor Day social-media blitz, and growing concerns from inside the AI industry.

Kevin Reddington is speaking out after the Lindsay Clancy mistrial — and Billy has plenty to say about his first major post-trial interview.

Billy breaks down Reddington’s appearance with George Stephanopoulos, including his relationship with Lindsay Clancy, whether Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz will pursue another first-degree murder trial, and Reddington’s surprising suggestion that President Donald Trump consider a pardon. Billy also looks ahead to the September 29 court date and what could happen next in the case.

Then, Billy responds to a retraction demand he received from attorneys representing Patrick Clancy over comments made on Hot Mics. Billy addresses what he said, what he meant, the difference between his commentary and allegations circulating elsewhere online, and why he believes some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Patrick have gone far beyond the evidence.

Plus: the mysterious new A24 documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes that stunned audiences at Telluride; Ryan Reynolds takes aim at the 1980s and Billy fires back; and another strange development in the legal battle surrounding Amy Griffin and The Tell after Griffin’s attorneys publicly filed an exhibit containing the real name of the teacher identified in her book as “Mr. Mason” — then moved to seal the identifying information.

And somehow, before it’s over, Billy also explains why his one experiment with Botox was an absolute disaster.

The Lindsay Clancy trial ends in a mistrial after an extraordinary final day in court — and a last-minute effort by defense attorney Kevin Reddington to keep the case alive before Massachusetts’ highest court.

Join Billy as we follow the drama in real time as a reported 11–1 jury impasse turns into a battle over one holdout juror. Reddington argues the juror may have been refusing to follow the court’s instructions on reasonable doubt and criminal responsibility, pushing Judge William Sullivan for further inquiry before a mistrial could be declared.

When Sullivan refuses, Reddington takes the fight to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, seeking emergency intervention.

Billy is joined throughout the marathon coverage by Massachusetts criminal defense attorney Joe Krowski, Mark Geragos and former prosecutor Matt Murphy, who offer sharply different views on Reddington’s strategy, the holdout juror and whether the defense pushed too far.

Hot Mics also carries the emergency appellate hearing before Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt — followed by the final moments in Plymouth County Superior Court as Judge Sullivan brings the jury back and formally declares a mistrial.

Now the question becomes: What happens to Lindsay Clancy next?

The case returns to court September 29 as both sides prepare for the possibility of doing it all over again.

The Lindsay Clancy jury is back for Day 6 of deliberations after telling the judge it could not reach a unanimous verdict — and now the pressure could hardly be higher.

Judge John Sullivan has delivered the powerful Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, commonly known as the “dynamite charge,” sending jurors back to reconsider their positions and make another attempt at reaching a unanimous decision.

Billy Bush breaks down the key language of the instruction and what it means as the jury continues deliberating in the case against Lindsay Clancy.

Meanwhile, outside the Plymouth County Courthouse, the Clancy trial has developed a world of its own.

“Court Dog Daniel” joins Billy live from his RV outside the courthouse, where he has spent weeks covering the trial and has developed an unlikely friendship with Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Daniel takes Billy inside the daily scene surrounding the courthouse, his conversations with Reddington and how a true-crime fan with an RV suddenly found himself in the middle of one of the most closely watched trials in the country.

Then Reddington himself makes news.

Speaking with reporters outside court, Reddington says he is prepared to retry Lindsay Clancy immediately if the jury ultimately cannot reach a verdict. He unloads on the Commonwealth’s rebuttal experts, discusses Lindsay’s emotional state as she waits for the jury — and makes a striking comment about Lindsay having “false memories” that immediately catches Billy’s attention.

Was Reddington simply explaining why he would oppose another round of psychiatric examinations in a retrial — or was the veteran defense attorney deliberately signaling something about what could come next?

Billy breaks it down.

Hot Mics favorite Joy Schmehar also joins the show to discuss the extraordinary community that has formed around the Clancy trial, the mental health issues the case has brought to the forefront and the growing crowds gathering outside the courthouse as everyone waits for a verdict.

Plus, the fallout continues from the arrest of Dawn Light, the woman accused of filming jurors outside the courthouse — an incident serious enough that Judge Sullivan individually questioned members of the jury before allowing deliberations to continue.

Six days of deliberations. A jury that has already reported being unable to reach a unanimous decision. The dynamite charge has now been delivered.

Does this jury finally reach a verdict — or are we headed toward a mistrial?

The Lindsay Clancy jury remains deadlocked on Day 5 of deliberations — and the tension outside the Plymouth courthouse is building.

NewsNation’s Brian Entin joins Billy Bush live from Massachusetts with the latest from verdict watch, including the bizarre arrest of a retired nurse accused of filming jurors, what happened when the judge questioned jurors individually, and what could happen next if the panel continues to say it cannot reach a unanimous decision.

Billy and Brian break down the possibility of a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, the competing theories about what may be happening inside the jury room, and whether this case is moving closer to a verdict — or a mistrial.

Billy also examines the extraordinary public response to Lindsay Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington and why his relationship with his client has become such a powerful part of the story.

The conversation then expands beyond the courtroom to the mental health system itself. A Hot Mics viewer who experienced postpartum psychosis shares her perspective and an idea for creating an AA-style peer-support network for people struggling with severe depression and suicidal ideation. Billy also opens up about his own experience with depression, suicidal thoughts and the support that helped him through one of the darkest periods of his life.

Then, a major shift to another case dominating Netflix.

Regina Ward, Mica Miller’s divorce attorney and one of the standout voices in Death of the Pastor’s Wife, joins Billy to reveal what Mica was telling her as she prepared to leave Pastor J.P. Miller. Ward describes Mica’s state of mind in the weeks before her death, the material Mica had gathered for their upcoming court battle, why Ward personally continues to question the circumstances surrounding Mica’s death, and what she believes South Carolina law failed to provide her client.

Ward also discusses allegations of coercive control and stalking, the federal case against J.P. Miller, questions surrounding Mica’s mental health treatment, and her fight to strengthen South Carolina law through an effort she hopes will become known as “Mica’s Law.”

It’s a packed edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush: Lindsay Clancy verdict watch, Brian Entin live from the courthouse, a deeply personal conversation about mental health, and new insight into the Mica Miller story from the attorney who was preparing to fight for her in court.
