Hour 3: New Cornell info · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, the story of Cornell University is reverberating all over
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the United States and putting into question college, university life,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the life of frats, the life of sororities. But yesterday
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was a roller coaster ride if you were following this.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: First information was released because this is now being tried
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion and obviously not within
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the four walls of a criminal prosecution or civil prosecution. Apparently,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a female Cornell student unrelated to this was not in
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the dorm room, informed the cops that the frat brothers
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of this frat in question told her to keep the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: orgy a secret because it's bad for our image. Don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: be texting it out. Don't be sending it out. Don't be, uh,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: basically alerting people to this. And she alerted the cops
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that the frat brothers were having secret meetings to try
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to get their message all together. So I'm thinking, okay,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this is really bad, bad, bad for these frat brothers.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Larry, a tsunami of text released,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming by defense attorneys for the Cornell 7, but
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: especially for this one young guy named Newell. Now, Newell
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and Matthew were the two that she agreed to have
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the threesome with. Apparently, it had a relationship with. So
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the woman, Jane Doe, is texting. I don't think we
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: should feel any shame. This is the day after. She's
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: texting directly to Newell, nobody else. Newell texts back, oh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the sex definitely was consensual. Now, when the defense attorney
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for Jane Doe was asked about this, he said, well,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you got to understand, this is part of the denial,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the shame, the acceptance. So I'm saying to myself, wait
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a second. That's not necessarily what you would do if
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you were the victim of a gang rape. Then Jane
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Doe texts out at the end of the day. And remember,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this is only to one of the guys, one of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the guys she likes out of the two. At the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: end of the day, none of the sexual stuff was illegal.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I really like being with you and Matt. I don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: think we should feel any shame. Our body, our choice.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You were both super out of it. They should have left,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: meaning the other frat brothers. If you have any regrets
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: or anything and you want to talk about it, I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: am always here to talk about it because that was
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a lot. I really do love you, meaning Newell and Matt,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and I promise I won't get quiet and weird with
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you like I did the last time.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Those last few words could come back to haunt the people.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Then on November 3rd, so this is days later, she's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: now texting. Apparently, she's only texting at this point with
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Newell because that's probably the one she liked the most,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: had some kind of relationship with beyond just the physical
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: acts of sex. Now it's a totally different tone in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the text. Let's be clear. 90% of what happened that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: night was not consensual.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: And then Newell.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Writes back, I'll be honest, I don't really have much
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of a memory of that night. If I knew what
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: had happened, I would have shut it down at that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: particular point. Now, the problem for Newell and Matthew, the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: one she likes, is that they took it upon themselves
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: on Snapchat when she was in their bed, apparently she
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: was in their bed, to put it out on snapchat
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: hey come on in you know get some free blankety
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: blank but what she was texting the day or two
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: afterwards to this specific guy newell wow it doesn't sound
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like a victim to me.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah you have dueling attorneys now obviously now that the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: men i hate even calling the men from the fraternity
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: have their own attorneys now you have her attorney releasing
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: things to the media, their attorney releasing things to the media,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: but this isn't going to be tried in the media
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: or it shouldn't be tried in the media. But you're
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: going to hear a back and forth, a back and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: forth until an investigation is done. And by the way,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: there is a big, a huge movement now to remove
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Letitia James and she should step down. If she had
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: any honor at all because of what she posted online,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: basically saying that, yes, it was a gang rape. She's
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: not objective in this case. And if she really had
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: any credibility whatsoever, she wouldn't even make this go to
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the court. She would step down. There's another problem that
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Jane Doe has, though, as well. Jane Doe is now
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: afraid for her life. Her name has gotten out. People
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: know who she is. Her home was doxxed. The Police
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: showed up. SWAT showed up at her house. They also
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: call it SWATing. Showed up at her house, guns drawn,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: because there was a report that her mother was shot
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and that there were some other incidents. The guy was
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: still there with a gun. And so they came in,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: guns blazing, you know, not firing, but guns out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And now she knows that her name.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Is out there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: She's been getting death threats. They've been getting anonymous phone
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: calls at the house. So this is getting uglier and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: uglier and uglier on both sides. And what, you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the media is not going to back down. We're not
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: going to back down as long as there is information
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: coming out that we think you should know. But the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: fact that anybody, anybody can get a fair investigation or
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: a fair trial with so much going on around it
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: in a circle. And then also to have Letitia James,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: who has already shown her bias in the case, leading
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the prosecution, means we're going to be in court for
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a long, long time. Because no matter what happens in
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the first case, it's going to be appealed and appealed
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and appealed and appealed.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: You know, she's running for office, Tish James.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We heard Rod Bastarino describe her debate against a Republican
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: candidate last night. So Hochul has a number of different
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: potential special prosecutors she could pick from.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: I agree with you. I concur.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: She should recuse herself. She didn't know she would be
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a special prosecutor on this case. So like every other politician,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you know, she went to a Facebook. She posted a statement.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: But no, no, that should force her to recuse herself.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Let me give that statement real quick because I think
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: people should understand what she said. What this young woman
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I'm
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: holding her in my heart and in my prayers. To
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: her and to all survivors, you're not alone. We stand
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: with you. Doesn't sound like she's made up her mind.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This is before she's assigned special prosecutor. You can't just
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: make that go away. You didn't have to comment. You know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: most times DAs and prosecutors, they never comment on it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You decided you're in the middle of an election against
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a Republican candidate. that you're going to comment, so recuse yourself.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But what really bothers me here is she acknowledges she
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: loves Newell and Matthew, the two that she was having
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that threesome with. And then when she signs off on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: one of the texts to Newell, who clearly she had
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: this texting relationship with, she writes, I really do love
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you and Matt.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: This is after the situation.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And I promise I won't get quiet and weird with
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you Like I did the last time.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I know, I know.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Suggesting that something happened previously, maybe without additional guys coming
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: into the dorm room, as clearly happened here. But man,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, I'm thinking to myself... We
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: need to know more.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hopefully we won't hear anymore. I think that
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: this is destructive, what's happening right now. And you're going
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: to have opinions going back and forth and back and forth,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: depending on what is released, which is going to cause
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: attorneys to release more and more and more and more.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And trust me, this is all coming from attorneys. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I don't blame them. I don't blame them. They have clients.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of money on the line. There's reputations
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: on the line. There's lives on the line. So, of course,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: they're going to do that. So, and the media is
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: just eating this up and eating this up and eating
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: this up. But you have that, all of that happening,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: which means it's not going to be a fair trial.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: You have Letitia James right now leading the investigation, which
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: means it's not going to be a fair trial. And
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: so this is going to go through the courts for
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: a long, long time. A long, long time.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And because there's a civil case, this is what triggered
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: this on behalf of Jane Doe. Imagine Cornell decides, meet
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: with that attorney, settle. So that's probably what's going to happen.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: They'll settle it first before a criminal trial. Then that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: taints the criminal trial because why did you settle the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: case if, in fact, your students were not guilty?
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Right, and that's why I don't think there's going to
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: be a settlement. Why wouldn't you let the criminal case
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: go forward if you are the person with the lawsuit?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, because all of that stuff's going to come out.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: It's going to play out in the public. It makes
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: your case that much stronger. Even if they find them
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: not guilty, there's going to be people in this country
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: that are going to say, well, that's wrong.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely wrong.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: You know, she's going to get muddied. She was muddied
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: up just with the rumors on campus. That was one
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of the motivations. to report it to the campus. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to leave campus.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: She left school.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm suggesting this is going to be intense. If
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you're the attorney and you're advising her and probably her
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: mom or dad, whoever, take the settlement because the criminal
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: case is going to be brutal. And you don't want
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to have both of these hanging over your head. And
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I think Cornell would love to just settle this. Get
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it out of the way. Look, they've got a big endowment.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It's not going to hurt them. But they're getting, I mean,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they're getting a black eye every which way.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I would be shocked if there's a settlement, unless, I'll
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: make this caveat, unless it's money you can't turn down.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: That could change things. And this, apparently, some of these
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: kids are rich.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: If I'm... Cornell and the people who've enriched them with
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the endowment, you know, former alumni and the board, whatever.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: It costs, settle it. Get us off of this radar screen. Yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: that could happen.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll get an update on the hurricane. Curtis,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: what's the name again?
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a guy who just appointed the leader of Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: ISIS or.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Something like that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Isaias?
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Isaias.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Isaias.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: What a dumb name.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Luckily, we have Ray Stajic, an actual meteorologist, who can
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: give us the name, plus a chance to see a
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: live stage, a Bronx tale on a live stage, the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: one-man show starring the man who wrote it, Chaz Palminteri.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: He's coming up next. Well, we have a hurricane approaching
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the U.S. coastline.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: It's expected to hit sometime today. And it is a
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: name of a hurricane that apparently only meteorologists can pronounce.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: So luckily, we have Ray Stajic, WOR Weather Channel meteorologist.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, say it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: It's Isaias.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I swear, Ray, that's the new leader of Hamas.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Yes. Oh, gosh.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: And this is, let's see, 30 years of doing it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: It's my second time through with this. And I remember
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: the first time, because they recycle the names if they
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: don't cause enough damage or get to a certain threshold.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: I remember the first time years ago when we had ECS,
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I had all kinds of trouble trying to pronounce it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Now this time it just came naturally, rolled right off
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: the tongue.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they do this on purpose. They come up
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: with these names on purpose because they know that only
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: they can pronounce them.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah this is true yeah because i've heard some butchering
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: of it even by meteorologists in the uh in the
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: community in the meteorological community kind of just doing all
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: different things with the word and it's like you know
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: the national hurricane center they have their home page and
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: they do have a a guide and they do have
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: the names and they do have the phonetic pronunciations of
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: that so you can go and actually see how you
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: should be saying it so it's he say yes but
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: there is new information now with the eight o'clock advisory
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: and it's not good um Storms increased its wind speed
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: now to a major hurricane with maximum sustained winds at
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: 120 miles per hour. The pressure has dropped. So with
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: tropical storms, hurricanes, pressure drops, wind speed coincides going up.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: So that's what's been happening. And now we're looking at
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: a possible Category 3 major hurricane making landfall sometime late
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: today into early tonight. That's the second thing. Not only
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: is the wind speed increasing, The forward speed may bring
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: it closer to landfall a little bit sooner, maybe by
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: a couple of hours. So instead of around 8 o'clock,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: it might be a couple hours earlier than that central
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: time during the evening. So that's a couple of changes
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: that came with the 8 o'clock update from the Hurricane
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Center as we now have a major hurricane where winds
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: start at 111 miles per hour. It's now at 120
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: and a pressure of 959 millibars, which has been lower pressure.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: As long as that pressure keeps dropping, The wind speed
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: around the center of that storm will continue to increase.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So imagine you're the president. You're going to the Georgia-Alabama game.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Huge. Going to be a great reception for him.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: If that game goes on and there's devastation around, do
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you go to the game or do you go out
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to the devastation and help the people?
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: You probably go out to the devastation to help the people.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: That's the right answer, right?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it. Very good.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Before your quick story, I think people in this area
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: want to know how this is going to affect them.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I think by the end of Sunday, we'll start to
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: get some rain in here. Enter less of rainfall. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: don't think we'll have a flood threat. There's a minimal
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: threat for that. And I don't think there's going to
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: be any wind to worry about.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, real quick story.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: It gets rained and then it goes away. All right,
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: quick story about football and college football. Two years ago,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: everybody remembers Helene. We were in Clemson. The power was out.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I think two days before the football game, we were
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: out of power. Roads were closed. There were trees across roadways.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: But you can bet you that they played that game
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: on that Saturday. So it's going to take an awful lot.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: It's going to take a lot.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: For this game to get canceled. I think the worst
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: will be past.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: That's college football down south. They're going to play no
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: matter what. Ray Stajic, WOR Weather Channel meteorologist.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks a lot.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Have a good weekend.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Let's squeeze in a couple talkbacks.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know what Curtis is smoking. How are you
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: going to get into a building in New York City
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: to arrest a guy without some person in that building
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: giving him notice about it? I'm sorry. That is crazy.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Guy, they do it all the time. It's called the U.S.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Marshal Services. And they meet and then they raid every
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: night of the week.
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: Larry, it's a rare day when I agree with Curtis.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: But on the topic of ICE, yes, they should not
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: be released into the population. They should be handed over.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: But they are not. So in this case, two wrongs

• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Asking what is this book to a Michael Mike Douglas
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is on Michael Douglas? It's like I don't need to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: know all this stuff.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Why oh why oh why?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, right on time. Joe Neumeier, man, our movie guy. Joe,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you got to do me a solid. Every day I'm
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: scrolling and I see Hopalong Cassidy, Michael Douglas going from
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: one interview to another interview for his memoirs.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: One hell of a ride. And what I.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Can tell from the snippets, I would not want to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: be Catherine Zeta-Jones or his kids. This guy, it's just
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: one sexual liaison after another sexual liaison. Then somebody asked him, well,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you had throat cancer and you said it
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was because of you know what?
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: And he went crazy.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like you open up that pandora's box
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: guy then you might as well just deal with everything
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: i i feel like i i.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Need to take a hot shower after dealing with.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: This well that's certainly the case with all these guys
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: i agree with you who write these sort of tell
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: all of these memoirs it seems like he he called
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: i mean from what i've read he has called uh
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: previous girlfriends previous women that he was with and confirm
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: that it was okay that he used their names or
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: something in the book. You know, the big one, of course,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: that people are talking about is that he and Kathleen Turner,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: during the filming of Romancing the Stone, which is still,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: remains such a fun movie, right? And they're both great
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: in it, and she's gorgeous in it. But she was
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: sort of, I think her response was like, after 45 years,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: why do you think anybody would care? Was, I think,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: her response to him. Yeah, you know, I will say
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: this about Michael Douglas. I mean, that was always sort
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: of part of his His image, and I think that
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: for him, he's kind of leaning into it, but I agree.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: It does make you want to, you know, kind of
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: take a shower or throw the book across the room
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: and say, you know what, that's enough. You know, some
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: things can remain secret. That's okay at 82 years old, Michael.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Keep some things to yourself.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Good idea. That's great advice.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about the movies coming out because I loved, loved,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: loved Social Network, the beginning of Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: when he was in college starting it. I never, ever
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: in a million years thought there'd be a sequel to that.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Right. How do you do that in some way? Because
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the thing that people have been saying, Larry, which is
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: sort of true, which is that we're sort of living
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: in that, in the sequel.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: To the social network, right?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: We're like, every day we're dealing with new things, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: there's actually... There's a film coming out called Artificial that
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I think kind of deals with that, too. It kind
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: of deals with Sam Altman and Anthropic, and that's coming
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: out later in the year. We'll be talking about it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: But I'm giving this film a solid three stars. It's
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Oscar
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: for his screenplay for Social Network. And it does a
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: lot of the same things really well, which is it
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: sort of kind of figures out why we're sort of
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: living in this thing. Like, you know, in the Social Network,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: it was, you know, why did this kid, Mark Zuckerberg,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: create this website, and it turns out to be kind
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: of for pretty creepy reasons. This one sort of says,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: how are we in this situation that we're in now
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: where there's so much disinformation, there's so many things kind
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: of going, and you think like Facebook, oh, and now
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: it's called Meta. You think, oh, Facebook is just about
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: people connecting up with their high school pals. It's not that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: And the movie sort of underscores that. And it also
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: does something really interesting that I wasn't anticipating. It kind
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: of turns, it's kind of split into two sections. One
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: is a reporter who's talking to a whistleblower about the
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: way that the algorithms work. And that part is really
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: pretty good. And it's kind of like a 70s thriller.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: It's a little like All the President's Men or something.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: So it's got this sort of 70s media thriller thing
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: going on. Then the other half of it is that Zuckerberg,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: who's now played by Jeremy Strong from Succession, as he's
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: preparing to kind of give some testimony to Congress. And
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: he comes off really robotic and scary. And while that's
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: also kind of an interesting part of the movie, it's
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: sort of not telling us anything we don't know.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: billboard is really great and they're actually a sort of
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: one of the as a uh... kind of analyst that uh...
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: counselor comes in the kind of into business advice of
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: the previous uh... previous employee so i'm giving it three
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: stars it's interesting it's not is not the social network
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: though it doesn't have that that really kind of propulsive
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: crazy kind of energy that that movie had great score
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: great performances Everyone's really good in the movie. It's just
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: a little bit of like, you know, okay, now what?
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: That we're kind of dealing with. So three stars for
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: The Social Reckoning. Good, but not great.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Now, Jo Neumeier, she's one of our own from Brooklyn
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and Hathaway. She had taken a bit of a hiatus.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You know, she wasn't doing films. I wonder what happened.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: This year, five releases in one year? How does that happen?
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: And pregnant?
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Five in one year? Yeah. Five in one year. Well, sometimes,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: you know, you kind of film things maybe like a
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: year and a half ago, and then it happens to
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: come out in the same week. But I think maybe
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: in her head, people have said, like, maybe she knew
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: she was going to be taking a break off to
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: have another kid, and so she wanted to get as
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: many films out there as she could. I will say Verity,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: which came out last week and was number one, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I think it was actually kind of fun. Um, she
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: doesn't do much. She kind of lays there cause she's
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: supposed to be, uh, uh, semi comatose in the movie.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: So she gives a good performance, but she also kind of,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: a lot of the movies she's sort of relaxing. So
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: maybe that was sort of the appeal to Verity too. Oh,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: I can be in this movie, but I can really
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: just be, uh, you know, in a hospital bed for
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: the majority of the movie. But the mystery is, does
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: she really need to be in the hospital bed? So
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: maybe she saw that one. That would be kind of
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: like a little vacation. I could just take a nap
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: and get a paycheck for it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: That's a great plan.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Earlier this week, a great actress died, Eva Marie Saint,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure you have a lot to say about her.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: I do you know she was really a very terrific
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: and interesting actors for the nineteen fifties who kind of
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: went on to not do as much but how important
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: she was to nineteen fifties movies specifically for two movies
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: of course but one of the on the waterfront which
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: you got that supporting actors for uh... she played the
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: sister of a of a dock worker who's been killed
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: and she begins a romance with marlon brando and that
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: movie is really important in so many ways And she
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: was part of that new school of actors, Brando Montgomery Clift,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Rod Steiger, and those guys. She was sort of a
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: female equivalent of that, and she was really, really terrific
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: in that movie. And then, of course, one of my
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: favorite films, North by Northwest, my favorite Hitchcock film. I
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: often have it running on my DVR or on my
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: DVD player in my office because I just feel like
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: there's nothing better than having North by Northwest on in
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: the background. She's fantastic. She's Eve Kendall in that movie.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: She's a spy, and she kind of has to get
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Harry Grant in and out of trouble because he doesn't
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: know she's a spy. Maybe I've just ruined it if
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: anybody's seen it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: If they haven't seen it by now, it's on them.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Right, right. 68-year spoiler alert.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: And just one update real quick.
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: They're still protesting at the Kips Bay theaters every day.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: I've never seen this.
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: There's riots in Paris and there's demonstrations at the Kips
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: Bay movie theater right by NYU Medical Center.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Isn't that great, though? People are saying, don't take away
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: this movie theater. And it's not even like, what I
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: love about that, too, is it's not sort of like
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: this little boutique art house theater or something. It's a
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: big chain theater, but it's the only one in that
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: section of town. And people are saying, you know what,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: we've got enough CBSes, we've got enough Dwayne Reads, whatever.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Keep that movie theater. It's so important. People with kids,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: they can go there with their kids on Saturday afternoons.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: I support that protest 100%. Keep going with it, right?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, they have Joe Neumeier. You've got to come out
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: here and protest.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: To the barricades, Joe. To the barricades.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: It'll be like Les Miserables.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Joe Neumeier, film journalist, WOR, movie-emitted host. Joe, have a
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: great weekend.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Thanks, guys.
