Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Friday. Thanks for spending the end of the week
with us. I hope you have a great holiday weekend
filled with a remembrance of Jesus Christ and what he
did for us, but also a time with family and
some much needed time off. But we're going to start
today with just an awful story in the Big Three.
(00:22):
It has happened again, a school shooting at Florida State
University that caused fear. It caused chaos, and two people
were killed.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And he turned back into his car and grabbed a pistol.
And that's when I watched him shoot the lady in
front of him and realized that he was really trying
to shoot people, and I started running.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Two are dead, six are wounded, including the shooter, identified
as twenty year old FSU student Phoenix Eichner, the son
of a sheriff deputy who spent years training with law enforcement.
The Sun Phoenix spent years training with law enforcement. A
federal grand jury returned a four count indictment against accused
(01:10):
healthcare assassin Luigi Mangione, and Attorney General Pam Bondi says
they are going to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
If there was ever a death case.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
This is one.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
This guy is charged with hunting down a CEO, a
father of two, a married man, hunting him down and
executing him.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
The Trump administration says several countries have now called willing
to make a deal amid the threat of a tariff war,
including China. Boy, you think there won't be of course,
there'll be a trade deal very much. They want to
make one, very very much. And we're going to make
a trade deal. I fully expect it, but it'll be
(01:53):
a fair deal. But I want to start off today
talking about the communications application for gamers called Discord. Now
it's grown into more than that, and I know Discord
very well. Discord's been around for a long time. My
oldest son, who's now in his forties, was using Discord,
(02:15):
and now kids use it a lot. It all started
and it was a great idea when it started. It
all started as a way of gamers to play the
game online and at the same time share their experience
talk about it with other gamers because at the time.
Now some people can now do that on the game itself.
(02:35):
The game manufacturers have gotten wise and they now have
it so you can talk to people while you're playing.
But Discord many don't, and Discord is still a huge
app and it's grown from that moment. That's how it
started off. Now it's gotten very big, and I'm talking
about hundreds of millions of users around the world and
(03:01):
at least one hundred million in this country alone. It
has grown in popularity. And if you're a parent or
a grandparent and you don't know about discord, I'm going
to tell you some alarming facts about it. There have
been many, many criminal cases in this country with pedophilia
(03:23):
and sex crimes that started on Discord. Because think about
it for a second, who are the users of discord?
The users of discord are young people, some very young
that there is no age restriction, middle school, grade school,
high school, and so that's going to attract people who
(03:49):
want to take advantage of their youth and have bad intentions.
It's happened more times than you'll be able to count
over the years. I don't know if you've paid close
attention when attorney generals and when district attorneys talk about
sex crimes against miners across the country, but many, many,
(04:13):
many times, way too many times, it starts with Discord,
and nobody's really taken them on. So I have to
give some credit. Although I have not been a big fan,
I have to give a credit to the Attorney General
of New Jersey, Matt Plattkin, for taking on this issue.
It's a difficult issue to go after, it really is,
(04:37):
because you need to have technical experience. But they are
charging him. They're suing him, I should say, not of
criminal charges. They are suing him for consumer fraud.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So today my office became the first state in the
nation to sue Discord and state court for misleading and
deceiving kids and parents about the safe of their app
and as a result, leaving children vulnerable to harassment, abuse,
and sexual exploitation by predators who lurk on their platform.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Over and over again. Now I know if you didn't
know about Discord and you're thinking to yourself, oh my god,
is my child on it? You're not alone. You're not alone.
When I heard this story, and when I've heard some
of the stories, I thought, oh my god, my kids
have been on Discord. All three of my sons are
on Discord. They're still on Discord, and so they have
(05:35):
just been warned now after hearing somebody of these stories
to be careful of who you talk to be careful
of you who you give information to. And this site
has grown. I told you about the number of people
on the site, but it's grown to the point where
people can now share audio, they can now share pictures,
(05:56):
they can now share video, and it's inundated with inappropriate behavior.
And by the way, it's not just pedophiles. It's people
spreading hate. It's people trying to indoctrinate the young to
do something bad, to do something wrong, to join them,
either on either side of the political divide, or there
(06:19):
have been terrorists caught trying to go out and find
people to join their cause. On Discord, it is there's
part of Discord. I don't want to damn the entire site.
I know I might be going far afield on this
because I don't want to damn the entire site. Lots
of people have fun on Discord, but there's part of
it that's as cesspool. And one of the problems has
(06:41):
been they keep saying over and over again, we fix this,
we monitor, don't worry about it. Well, then why can't
I see it? How come my kids can hide from
me what's on there? How come other people can't see it?
How come you don't have a parental monitoring on it
(07:03):
because they like it the way it is. One of
the things that kids liked the most about Discord is
the fact that they can keep their parents out of
the conversation. That was a selling point early on. Now
they've wised up after people complaining so much, and they
say they have all of these safeguards. Now, don't worry
(07:25):
about it. Your kids are safe on Discord. But what
they found out in the Attorney General's office in New
Jersey is that that was a lie.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Discord created an application designed to draw children in, and
then it deliberately misled parents about its commitment to keeping
their kids safe.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Look, I don't know where this is going to lead,
but I hope state after state after state joins in
on this. I hope the federal government joins in on this.
I am to the point now, especially after hearing story
after story after story, and there's been deaths about Discord
as the start of a conversation, as the start of
(08:10):
a relationship that ended badly, and it's always with a minor.
And so because of that, I applaud Matt Platkin, the
Attorney General in New Jersey. I'm glad he did this,
and I hope others follow suit.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But Discord also appeals to online predators who use the
app to sexually exploit children, and it appeals to other
malicious actors who expose children to content that promotes violence
and hate.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Right, So it's not just sexual exploitation, it is also
violence and hate. And they have found terrorist groups trying
to recruit on Discord in the past. The list is long.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Discord has been at the center of numerous criminal cases
involving predators that were found to have used the app
to engage in sexual grooming, extortion, and exploitation.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So we'll see where this lawsuit goes. But again I
applaud mad plat Gin. Here's the important thing for you
to know. The important thing for you to know is
you have to bring up this conversation with your children,
and you have to bring up this conversation with your grandchildren.
Ask them specifically, if they're on Discord, ask them that
you want to see who they're talking to. Because this
(09:29):
site has grown so big. They have these talk rooms,
but in some of these rooms there's millions of people
in there, millions of people, and you don't know who
your kids are talking to. It's important now that you
find out exactly who they're talking to. Did you want
to say something that No?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I mean, I one hundred percent agree with you, because
I believe when you do talk to your children, you're open.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
They want to be safe, and they're afraid to say anything.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
So if you start the comment, they're usually willing to
say somebody did say something inappropriate or that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
They'll tell you. You just have to ask yeah, and
tell them it's okay to tell you they showed you
a video, Tell me what the video showed. It is
just awful. Would you watch a TV series about a
migrating moose? How about that for a switch me? Neither,
but millions are and it's one of the hottest shows
streaming right now. We'll tell you about it next.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I have to admit, when Jacqueline Carl asked me about
real and fake news, I kind of knew one of
the answers because that was one of the stories we
were going to do today about the hottest new reality
TV drama is a live stream of migrating Arctic moose.
(10:47):
It is one of the most popular things online right now,
and by the way, it's no more than what I
just said, it is just migrating moose. There's no narration,
there's no story line, there's no nice music. It is
just migrating moose. So crash, do we have it? Can
(11:09):
you play it live so we can hear what's happening
with the moose right now? Is that it is it on?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You hear water.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
I likeirds, and you have the volume all the way up.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
It's the woods.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's quiet. Could you get the moose to talk a
little bit or something? Could you do something? This migrating
is for the birds. Y's you know what. It would
be great to watch this, to fall asleep. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I mean right now there was a seat. There's thirty cameras,
so it keeps changing. You keep getting different views. Sometimes
it's water, sometimes it's in the woods. Right now I'm
looking at I guess these are moose, I don't know.
And they're in the woods. It's very thick in vegetation.
It's just beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
This is riveting right now. This is as good as
they tell you. I've watched some of these before.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
There are a bunch of cams on eagles nests, and
I've watched these little hatchlings hatch and it was fascinating,
but it takes a long time.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You have to be patient.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Yeah, I know our attention spans are so bad now,
but it does sound peaceful. It really is.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I could not take it. I could not take it.
Nine million people watch this last year. Their Facebook page
has over seven hundred thousand. They are making money on
this around the world. Millions of people are watching this,
and they say it's because and you've both said it,
(12:44):
it's because of the serenity. By the way, if you
want to check this out, it's s as In Sam
v as In, Victor Teas and Thomas play Svet play
dot se. All right, svtplay dot se.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
He's moving.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Oh see, there's excitement.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
This excitement towards the camera.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
There's excitement abound people. People apparently watch it at work.
They have it on in the background while they're working,
just so they can nap at lunchtime. I guess it
says here. He says, if you're stuck at your desk,
just open a browser and soak in the slow, snowy
stillness of a Nordic forest. Somewhere out there, a moose
(13:35):
is going to make your day. Or just listen to us. Yeah,
What are they? What are the noises? Right there? Are
they crickets? That's a bullfrog? They see?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Look you're interested.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Look at you.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
You're into it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
At all, and you work. This is just imagine, Just
imagine on the This plays worse on the radio. Just
imagine if you tuned in. Let's be silent for a
second so people can realize the wonder of the moose
migration and hear it for themselves. You're ready, just go silent.
It sounds like my stomach growling. What great TV that is?
Speaker 7 (14:13):
It might be your story, It might not be your
cup of tea, but it is for many other people.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
And they're employing a lot of people with a thirty
camera setup, so someone must be watching.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I know, I know they have this huge control room. Man,
it's amazing. I wonder if I wonder if they have
other shows, you know, like cows standing around or something
like that, now that i'd watch, you would watch that?
Have you? Did you tip cows? Anybody who here tip cows? Never?
I am from Staten Island. We didn't tip cows. I haven't. No, no,
(14:46):
we never had cows around us either. But I would
like to. I aspire to be a cow tip.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
If I am not, I might be incorrect in this.
But the next time we have Johnny Olesinski and I
don't know if he's tipped a cow. I think I've
had a conversation about that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Has he really I'm not sure. We have to ask
him when he comes back. Did the cows just stay there?
I've never done it.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
If you've tipped a cow, go to talkback on the
iHeartRadio app anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, before you go to the moose, because I know
you're all rushing to watch these moose doing nothing? Do
you see any moose right now? By the way, nothing
right if people were to tune into it right now,
if you want to walk over here, I don't want
to walk over there.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I wish I can.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You got a moose?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Is he making a noise? No? Of course not. Look
of course not. Oh there's two moose. Look at that.
It looks like a painting. If you can just stare
in a painting for days for you, Let's get out
of this. Let's get the news. Please, let news with
Jacquelinecarl At nine.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Thirty Good Morning. A sheriff's deputy son is in custody
after allegedly shooting and killing two people and wounding five
more at Florida State University. The FSU police chief says
the gunman is is a current student at the school.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And former movie producer.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Harvey Weinstein is being transferred out of prison and into
a hospital as he goes through his sex crimes retrial
in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Joe j eonnard Weinstein's request on Thursday that he get
out of Riker's Island and into Bellevue Hospital because of
his medical complications. Meanwhile, jury selection will continue Monday for
a trial that's expected to last into late May. Weinstein
is facing one count of rape, two counts of criminal
sex acts connected to alleged incidents involving an actress, a
production assistant, and another woman who was not part of
(16:32):
the original trial. Weinstein's previous conviction was tossed due to
errors in how the witness process was handled. I'm Scattpringle
wrdw's all right.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I know everybody hates when I bring up this topic,
but it's national exercise, yes, and here are the top
signs that it is. The gym hasn't been this crowd
since January twod you're counting getting off the couch's cardio
that's me. You've been wearing your running shoes all over
the office. Finally get to wear that new sweatband. Everyone
(17:03):
is checking on how many steps they've gotten in. No
one is judging you for rowing a fake boat. And
you counted returning Amazon packages as a workout. That's what
do you guys think? Are you going to exercise today
for National Exercise Day or what would you count as exercise?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I walked around the office in a commercial break before
right good for you, I said, I'm going for a
walker day, some steps in.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Yes, she does that. I do that too sometimes because
she gave me the idea. How about you, Larry?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That is so annoying. All the people that have that
thing on their wrist that tell you how many steps
they got.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
In, You go, I got it to mine is not
so great today, But see, I'll tell you in a
second we'll walk after this.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Now.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Oh boy, I've only got like two thousand steps in today,
So that's not bad.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
This is that's not bad for this time of the morning,
and the fact that you've been working.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
That'd be a record for me. That was actually really good.
That sounds like a lot of steps. That sounds exhausting.
What is your goal, Natalie for day the day?
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Ten thousand?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well, that is a stretch.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
It's hard to get ten thousand steps, it really is.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh and when we went on this tour and there
was all walk in mony, people are looking and sharing
we're up to twenty five thousand steps.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I mean, if I get seventy five hundred eight thousand,
I'm I'm content.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, I wasn't exaggerating about the twenty four Yeah, by
the way, they actually got that in. But man, that
just anyway. How about the sucks? Oh, no stocks today,
no ting on Wall Street today? For good Friday. Well,
then we'll say goodbye, fiks, Jacqueline, have a great weekend,
you too. Film journalists. In wol r's Movie Minute, host
Joe Newmeyer is up next. He's gonna let us know
(18:39):
if the movie Sinners is worth going to the theaters for
this weekend. Stay with Us at Madison offers thirty five
affordable units, including one, two, and three. Now, let's go
to Joe Newmeyer, film journalist and wo R Movie minuted
host to talk about some of the entertainment for this weekend. Hey, Joe,
before we get some of the tips from you for
(19:02):
this weekend and your critique of the movies. We have
a suggestion for you. Have you heard of Moose TV Moose?
I have not.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
I hope there's only moose on that TV. What is
moose there is?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's huge right now, and we'd like you to take
a look at it just to critique it for us,
because Natalie loves it, Jacqueline Carl loves it. I think
it's mind numbing. Maybe that's why they like it. But
it's put out by a Swedish outlet called CVT and
you can get it online. There's millions of people watching
(19:37):
this and it's twenty four hours of migrating moose.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
It sounds thrilling and actually kind of relaxing at the
same time. I will only say that I hope that
that that all the moose is. It's mo thurl of
Moose's Moose.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not nice.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
So all not mice, not mice, right, So I just
hope all the moose maybe have their own likeybe, they'll
have their own genre. So eventually they'll be like, you know,
an action adventure starring the moose, or maybe there's a
moose romance, you know, a Hallmark Channel with just Moose
in all the roles. I don't know, but hey, that's.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
A great idea. You see. It took a movie guy
to make the Moose more exciting. I would watch you
if you made it, I would watch it. So what's
in the theaters? Go ahead, my move too.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
One quick thing. We didn't get chance to talk last
week about the best stunt acting that the Oscar's going
to add. Right, you've heard about this. This was the
big news last week. I was away and I am
just I just want to put my two cents out there.
I have been. I've been advocating for this for years, Larry,
that the Oscars put in like a best stunt design,
best stunt at work Oscar and starting in twenty twenty eight,
(20:44):
that's what it's going to be, which is fantastic. I'm
a big fan of that.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's wonderful. When I was out at Access Hollywood, one
of the things they were really pushing for, and maybe
it's happened and you can tell me, was casting. They
thought they deserved an Oscar. Now is it in?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Now?
Speaker 9 (20:59):
That's actually it's starting in twenty twenty six, So that's
something coming in for the movies releases this year. In
twenty twenty five, next year's Oscars will have a best
Casting Oscar so Best ensembleed or something like that, and
then in twenty twenty eight for movies released in twenty
twenty seven best Stunt Acting, which means that you know,
look in the past. You know, if you ask me,
(21:19):
movies like Terminator two should have gotten it, or obviously
Mad Max Furry Road. So many of the Bond films, Inception,
you know, the great, great movies with great stunts, and
a lot of the Mission Impossibles are like this too.
So now there's going to be this noteworthy Oscar for it,
which is which is fantastic. I've been saying it for years,
and it's a good way to get people to watch
(21:40):
the Oscars too. Yeah, everybody watched it. I mean, Tom
Cruise is up there risking his life for our entertainment.
You know, let tell that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It's a tremendous point. I'll tell you what I was.
I was at a film festival once and I talked
to the director Mike Lawrence, and he said to me,
you know, the stuff that we do on the set,
that picture they always take with the director looking into
a camera and setting up a shot. He goes. That's
like five percent of the film. The most important things
are the script and the casting, and the fact that
(22:09):
they have ignored casting for this long is obscene.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
I totally agree, totally. So those are So that's two
good news about the Oscars. Good news items about the Oscars.
I'm excited about now the movies this week. I'm also
actually excited about. Whether it's Star Moose or Humans, i'd
be excited about it. It's called Sinners. It's really good.
I'm giving it four out of five stars. And Michael B.
Jordan plays two roles in it. We'll talk that in
a second. It takes place in the early nineteen thirties.
(22:35):
It's a there's a twist for it. Now, people may
be reading up on reviews which maybe give away the twist.
I'm not going to give away what the twist is
in this movie. But it's one of the movies that's
sort of like like kind of like from Dusk Till Dawn,
the terit Cleo Church Cluty film where it starts out
as sort of one thing and it becomes another. And
there's a few movies like this. So I'm not going
to give away what the twist is, but I'm going
to say that I think that it ends up being
(22:56):
this really exciting genre film and a very cool drama.
It's a very cool adventure. It starts out though, as
sort of these two brothers played by Michael B. Jordan
who want to open up a juke joint, a music joint,
down in Mississippi in the nineteen thirties. They previously worked
for Capone in Chicago and and but but one of
their musicians playing the blues really well kind of brings
(23:20):
out all these other factors. So I'm that's all of
it to say it's four out of five stars. I
think it's really really dynamic and exciting. And then there's
this other second.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Holy one second, because you said two brothers played by
right and they playth he does both.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
That's a he does both, and it's fantastic. Now the tech,
now this is the thing we're talking about, you know,
oscar stuff and technology. We've gotten to this point now
where we're used to this kind of thing. But it's
sometimes it's done well and sometimes not. And oddly, this
is like the third film in like two months that
has this Mickey seventeen and al To Knights. Also Warner
Brothers movies had you know, like de Niro and Robert
(23:55):
Pattinson in multiple roles. So so Michael B. Jordan plays
both brought and it reminds me of like things like
this is when it's done well, it could be really
fun things like Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons back in
the eighties or Adaptation with Nicholas Cage where he plays
two brothers and it's seamless and the technology makes it,
you know, so so cool to look at. But it's
(24:17):
also about the performance. And Jordan does a great job
in here of doing that, you know, of playing playing
multiple roles, and I just think that that's a fun
a fun genre you can go back to the thirties
and forties with like The Prisoner of Zenda or Betty
Davis did in a couple of movies, and then classic
you know examples are of course like Peter Seller's in
(24:37):
Doctor Strangelove where he plays three roles, and Lee Marvin,
the Great Lee Marvin. The only act best actor Oscar
he got was for a comedy western called cat Bellow
back in nineteen sixty five, where he plays yeah right exactly,
so he's play one is a drug you know, a
drunken gunslinger, so he plays the two roles there, and
then you add things like the you know, the Austin
(24:59):
Powers movies of course, or fun Eddie Murphy does it
sometimes but adaptation. And then there's one called Legend with
Tom Hardy where he plays the British gangsters, the Cray Brothers,
these guys in the sixties. And then Moon with Sam
Rockwell who plays like three versions of himself. It's a
fun little mini genre and this movie absolutely joins it.
It's really just the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It only is an acting exercise. Has any one won
an Oscar for winning for playing two roles?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
No, sad I mean the only one that we that
we mentioned obviously is uh Lee Marvin for Kaptallloo. Otherwise
Nicholas Cadge was nominated, didn't win. Uh Michael Keaton did
it really well in a movie called Multiplicity that yeah yeah,
So sadly nobody has or back to this, even Back
to the Future part three where Michael J. Fox plays
like his own grandfather back in the Old West and
(25:48):
himself Marty McFly. So there's things like that, but nobody,
nobody's won, So maybe I don't know, maybe this will
be Jordan's time to repeat the but I don't know.
I know, I think that kind of thing. Unfortunately, that
kind of thing kind of gets uh. The Academy makes
it look like just a stunt. But like when he's
passing a cigarette to himself or throws himself up, you know,
a baseball or something in this movie, it's really cool
(26:10):
to look at and it's a very fun Scott Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Director deserves some credit for that, because that's that's difficult
to pull off. Hey, we don't have a lot of
time left. Did you you have another movie you want
to talk about?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
No, that's it. That's what I will say. It is
directed by you mentioned director is there Ryan Coopler who
did Black Panther and Creed. So it's got it. You know,
he's got a great director in it, and he's working
with Michael B. Jordan again, so so right it is.
It is a credit to the director to be able
to pull off that stunt and make it make it
realistic and maybe, you know, maybe it'll be nominated for
Best Stunt Stuff in a couple of years. To give
you something similar.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Who knows or the Moose will one of the two,
not if there's a Tom Cruise movie in that same year. Hey,
real quick, now, I can't remember what I was gonna
tell you. I wanted something real quick from me, and
I just completely forgot.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
So coming up on summer movie season, so I'm sure
there'll be stuff to talk about over that week or two.
I'm sure big stuff coming out.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, as soon as they go goodbye, I'm gonna remember.
I'm gonna have to call you so much. Joe Numeier,
Movie Minute host and film journalist. When we come back,
we'll have a recap of today's show and my final thoughts.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Mark Simone is next on WOR, but first here's Larry
Minty with some final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yesterday, I called it the most damning split screen in history.
Maryland Democratic Senator Chris van Holland holding a press conference
in l Salvador, saying he's not going to give up
trying to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS thirteen gangbanger
and wife beater who most importantly is in this country illegally.
(27:44):
And on the other side of the screen was Patricia
Morin from Maryland, whose daughter Rachel, herself a mother of five,
was raped and brutally murdered by a man led into
this country from l Salvador under Biden and Democratic rule.
It couldn't have been a worse moment for Senator van
(28:05):
Holland or the Democrats because he never ever, once reached
out to the family of Rachel Morin, who again was
killed by an illegal from Al Salvador, and he is
now back in L Salvador trying to bring an illegal
immigrant back into the country. And that's why I thought
(28:25):
it was damning for Senator van Holland and the Democrats.
But I may have been wrong because I was watching
Fox News and that's where I saw the split screen.
CNN MSNBC didn't even cover the news conference, so their
viewers didn't get a chance to see it. Shame on them.
(28:48):
They once again have shown their bias. You see, the
greatest bias is the bias of omission. If you don't
cover it, you can pretend like it never happened. They
are just like the Democrats they revere so much, who
sat on their hands while President Trump, at a joint
(29:08):
session of Congress, introduced mothers whose daughters were raped and
killed by illegal aliens. That stunt, that obscene stunt was
universally panned and because of bad choices. Just like that,
the Democrats are now suffering record low approval ratings, so
(29:31):
it's no surprise that their partners CNN and MSNBC are
also suffering record low ratings. You know, maybe they should
try something new like journalism. Coming up on the Mark
(29:53):
Simone Show, Showbiz four one one dot com journalist Roger
Friedman and newsman CEO's Chris Ruddy. Plus listen for the

thousand dollars and now a recap of today's show. News
Nations legal contributor Jesse Weber discusses the strongest strategy now
(30:20):
for convicting Luigi Mangioni.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
If the goal is to convict Luigi Mangioni of what
is a Henus crime, you've got the state charges, the
easiest charge.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Do you go to the state case?
Speaker 10 (30:32):
One of the most straightforward direct charges he's facing is
murdering the second degree intent to kill. Everything that we've
seen again is innocent until proven guilty, But taking all
the evidence that we see, that feels like the most straightforward.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Charge ABC News Washington Bureau chief Rick Klein talks about
the precedent set by Harvard after they push back against
the Trump administration's call to withdraw their tax exempt status.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
Harvard's position does change the verstation a bit because you
have the oldest institution, maybe the most famous, and the
wealthiest institution of the country saying no, we're not going
to do this, and it gives licensed smaller ones to
try to do the same. Harvard may be better equipped
to handle it, and we'll see how it shakes out
in terms of what it means for their services and
for their admissions and for their retention. But I do
think it's a big moment when anyone the size and
(31:18):
the haft of Harvard says thanks, but no thanks for
telling us how to run our place.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Citi Hall Bureau chief Craig McCarthy asserts the questions about
Andrew Cuomo's cognitive health are genuine and being asked.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
And they're running a rose garden campaign. The question is
why it was just a tactic because to the front runners,
they don't want to see a miss step word. Is
there something else also going on? When we send the
editord meeting with the new York Posts. He wrote about
it and noted that he's mixed up a few things.
He confused the free different things. I his campaign is
obviously adamantly pushing back again such things. But it's it's
(31:55):
a question that has you know it's.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Being asked, and I can't help but feel bad the
lonely wild Turkey historia roaming around Manhattan. I have to
feel bad for a storia. All she is is she's
looking for love. She's crying out constantly. You can hear
her screaming, What's wrong with me? Why can't I find
(32:17):
a mate? She's attractive, she travels a lot, she has
an interesting story. I don't know why she can't find
love in Manhattan.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Her online profiles sounds so intriguing.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It is. We also discussed the city's new bike traffic lights,
designed for easy visibility, and as always, you shared your
opinions and joined the conversation on talkback.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Here's an idea, maybe a politician would come out of
the shell.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
And actually ask the bikers do you see the lights before.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
We spend a billion dollars in lights?
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Or are you just ignoring them? And if you're just
ignoring them, whatever, But it's a money once again.

The I on men's advantage performance Polo Shir
Happy Friday. Thanks for spending the end of the week
with us. I hope you have a great holiday weekend
filled with a remembrance of Jesus Christ and what he
did for us, but also a time with family and
some much needed time off. But we're going to start
today with just an awful story in the Big Three.
(00:22):
It has happened again, a school shooting at Florida State
University that caused fear. It caused chaos, and two people
were killed.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And he turned back into his car and grabbed a pistol.
And that's when I watched him shoot the lady in
front of him and realized that he was really trying
to shoot people, and I started running.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Two are dead, six are wounded, including the shooter, identified
as twenty year old FSU student Phoenix Eichner, the son
of a sheriff deputy who spent years training with law enforcement.
The Sun Phoenix spent years training with law enforcement. A
federal grand jury returned a four count indictment against accused
(01:10):
healthcare assassin Luigi Mangione, and Attorney General Pam Bondi says
they are going to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
If there was ever a death case.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
This is one.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
This guy is charged with hunting down a CEO, a
father of two, a married man, hunting him down and
executing him.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
The Trump administration says several countries have now called willing
to make a deal amid the threat of a tariff war,
including China. Boy, you think there won't be of course,
there'll be a trade deal very much. They want to
make one, very very much. And we're going to make
a trade deal. I fully expect it, but it'll be
(01:53):
a fair deal. But I want to start off today
talking about the communications application for gamers called Discord. Now
it's grown into more than that, and I know Discord
very well. Discord's been around for a long time. My
oldest son, who's now in his forties, was using Discord,
(02:15):
and now kids use it a lot. It all started
and it was a great idea when it started. It
all started as a way of gamers to play the
game online and at the same time share their experience
talk about it with other gamers because at the time.
Now some people can now do that on the game itself.
(02:35):
The game manufacturers have gotten wise and they now have
it so you can talk to people while you're playing.
But Discord many don't, and Discord is still a huge
app and it's grown from that moment. That's how it
started off. Now it's gotten very big, and I'm talking
about hundreds of millions of users around the world and
(03:01):
at least one hundred million in this country alone. It
has grown in popularity. And if you're a parent or
a grandparent and you don't know about discord, I'm going
to tell you some alarming facts about it. There have
been many, many criminal cases in this country with pedophilia
(03:23):
and sex crimes that started on Discord. Because think about
it for a second, who are the users of discord?
The users of discord are young people, some very young
that there is no age restriction, middle school, grade school,
high school, and so that's going to attract people who
(03:49):
want to take advantage of their youth and have bad intentions.
It's happened more times than you'll be able to count
over the years. I don't know if you've paid close
attention when attorney generals and when district attorneys talk about
sex crimes against miners across the country, but many, many,
(04:13):
many times, way too many times, it starts with Discord,
and nobody's really taken them on. So I have to
give some credit. Although I have not been a big fan,
I have to give a credit to the Attorney General
of New Jersey, Matt Plattkin, for taking on this issue.
It's a difficult issue to go after, it really is,
(04:37):
because you need to have technical experience. But they are
charging him. They're suing him, I should say, not of
criminal charges. They are suing him for consumer fraud.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So today my office became the first state in the
nation to sue Discord and state court for misleading and
deceiving kids and parents about the safe of their app
and as a result, leaving children vulnerable to harassment, abuse,
and sexual exploitation by predators who lurk on their platform.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Over and over again. Now I know if you didn't
know about Discord and you're thinking to yourself, oh my god,
is my child on it? You're not alone. You're not alone.
When I heard this story, and when I've heard some
of the stories, I thought, oh my god, my kids
have been on Discord. All three of my sons are
on Discord. They're still on Discord, and so they have
(05:35):
just been warned now after hearing somebody of these stories
to be careful of who you talk to be careful
of you who you give information to. And this site
has grown. I told you about the number of people
on the site, but it's grown to the point where
people can now share audio, they can now share pictures,
(05:56):
they can now share video, and it's inundated with inappropriate behavior.
And by the way, it's not just pedophiles. It's people
spreading hate. It's people trying to indoctrinate the young to
do something bad, to do something wrong, to join them,
either on either side of the political divide, or there
(06:19):
have been terrorists caught trying to go out and find
people to join their cause. On Discord, it is there's
part of Discord. I don't want to damn the entire site.
I know I might be going far afield on this
because I don't want to damn the entire site. Lots
of people have fun on Discord, but there's part of
it that's as cesspool. And one of the problems has
(06:41):
been they keep saying over and over again, we fix this,
we monitor, don't worry about it. Well, then why can't
I see it? How come my kids can hide from
me what's on there? How come other people can't see it?
How come you don't have a parental monitoring on it
(07:03):
because they like it the way it is. One of
the things that kids liked the most about Discord is
the fact that they can keep their parents out of
the conversation. That was a selling point early on. Now
they've wised up after people complaining so much, and they
say they have all of these safeguards. Now, don't worry
(07:25):
about it. Your kids are safe on Discord. But what
they found out in the Attorney General's office in New
Jersey is that that was a lie.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Discord created an application designed to draw children in, and
then it deliberately misled parents about its commitment to keeping
their kids safe.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Look, I don't know where this is going to lead,
but I hope state after state after state joins in
on this. I hope the federal government joins in on this.
I am to the point now, especially after hearing story
after story after story, and there's been deaths about Discord
as the start of a conversation, as the start of
(08:10):
a relationship that ended badly, and it's always with a minor.
And so because of that, I applaud Matt Platkin, the
Attorney General in New Jersey. I'm glad he did this,
and I hope others follow suit.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But Discord also appeals to online predators who use the
app to sexually exploit children, and it appeals to other
malicious actors who expose children to content that promotes violence
and hate.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Right, So it's not just sexual exploitation, it is also
violence and hate. And they have found terrorist groups trying
to recruit on Discord in the past. The list is long.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Discord has been at the center of numerous criminal cases
involving predators that were found to have used the app
to engage in sexual grooming, extortion, and exploitation.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So we'll see where this lawsuit goes. But again I
applaud mad plat Gin. Here's the important thing for you
to know. The important thing for you to know is
you have to bring up this conversation with your children,
and you have to bring up this conversation with your grandchildren.
Ask them specifically, if they're on Discord, ask them that
you want to see who they're talking to. Because this
(09:29):
site has grown so big. They have these talk rooms,
but in some of these rooms there's millions of people
in there, millions of people, and you don't know who
your kids are talking to. It's important now that you
find out exactly who they're talking to. Did you want
to say something that No?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I mean, I one hundred percent agree with you, because
I believe when you do talk to your children, you're open.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
They want to be safe, and they're afraid to say anything.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
So if you start the comment, they're usually willing to
say somebody did say something inappropriate or that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
They'll tell you. You just have to ask yeah, and
tell them it's okay to tell you they showed you
a video, Tell me what the video showed. It is
just awful. Would you watch a TV series about a
migrating moose? How about that for a switch me? Neither,
but millions are and it's one of the hottest shows
streaming right now. We'll tell you about it next.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I have to admit, when Jacqueline Carl asked me about
real and fake news, I kind of knew one of
the answers because that was one of the stories we
were going to do today about the hottest new reality
TV drama is a live stream of migrating Arctic moose.
(10:47):
It is one of the most popular things online right now,
and by the way, it's no more than what I
just said, it is just migrating moose. There's no narration,
there's no story line, there's no nice music. It is
just migrating moose. So crash, do we have it? Can
(11:09):
you play it live so we can hear what's happening
with the moose right now? Is that it is it on?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You hear water.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
I likeirds, and you have the volume all the way up.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
It's the woods.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's quiet. Could you get the moose to talk a
little bit or something? Could you do something? This migrating
is for the birds. Y's you know what. It would
be great to watch this, to fall asleep. It's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I mean right now there was a seat. There's thirty cameras,
so it keeps changing. You keep getting different views. Sometimes
it's water, sometimes it's in the woods. Right now I'm
looking at I guess these are moose, I don't know.
And they're in the woods. It's very thick in vegetation.
It's just beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
This is riveting right now. This is as good as
they tell you. I've watched some of these before.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
There are a bunch of cams on eagles nests, and
I've watched these little hatchlings hatch and it was fascinating,
but it takes a long time.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You have to be patient.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Yeah, I know our attention spans are so bad now,
but it does sound peaceful. It really is.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I could not take it. I could not take it.
Nine million people watch this last year. Their Facebook page
has over seven hundred thousand. They are making money on
this around the world. Millions of people are watching this,
and they say it's because and you've both said it,
(12:44):
it's because of the serenity. By the way, if you
want to check this out, it's s as In Sam
v as In, Victor Teas and Thomas play Svet play
dot se. All right, svtplay dot se.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
He's moving.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Oh see, there's excitement.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
This excitement towards the camera.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
There's excitement abound people. People apparently watch it at work.
They have it on in the background while they're working,
just so they can nap at lunchtime. I guess it
says here. He says, if you're stuck at your desk,
just open a browser and soak in the slow, snowy
stillness of a Nordic forest. Somewhere out there, a moose
(13:35):
is going to make your day. Or just listen to us. Yeah,
What are they? What are the noises? Right there? Are
they crickets? That's a bullfrog? They see?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Look you're interested.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Look at you.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
You're into it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
At all, and you work. This is just imagine, Just
imagine on the This plays worse on the radio. Just
imagine if you tuned in. Let's be silent for a
second so people can realize the wonder of the moose
migration and hear it for themselves. You're ready, just go silent.
It sounds like my stomach growling. What great TV that is?
Speaker 7 (14:13):
It might be your story, It might not be your
cup of tea, but it is for many other people.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
And they're employing a lot of people with a thirty
camera setup, so someone must be watching.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I know, I know they have this huge control room. Man,
it's amazing. I wonder if I wonder if they have
other shows, you know, like cows standing around or something
like that, now that i'd watch, you would watch that?
Have you? Did you tip cows? Anybody who here tip cows? Never?
I am from Staten Island. We didn't tip cows. I haven't. No, no,
(14:46):
we never had cows around us either. But I would
like to. I aspire to be a cow tip.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
If I am not, I might be incorrect in this.
But the next time we have Johnny Olesinski and I
don't know if he's tipped a cow. I think I've
had a conversation about that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Has he really I'm not sure. We have to ask
him when he comes back. Did the cows just stay there?
I've never done it.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
If you've tipped a cow, go to talkback on the
iHeartRadio app anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, before you go to the moose, because I know
you're all rushing to watch these moose doing nothing? Do
you see any moose right now? By the way, nothing
right if people were to tune into it right now,
if you want to walk over here, I don't want
to walk over there.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I wish I can.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You got a moose?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Is he making a noise? No? Of course not. Look
of course not. Oh there's two moose. Look at that.
It looks like a painting. If you can just stare
in a painting for days for you, Let's get out
of this. Let's get the news. Please, let news with
Jacquelinecarl At nine.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Thirty Good Morning. A sheriff's deputy son is in custody
after allegedly shooting and killing two people and wounding five
more at Florida State University. The FSU police chief says
the gunman is is a current student at the school.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And former movie producer.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Harvey Weinstein is being transferred out of prison and into
a hospital as he goes through his sex crimes retrial
in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Joe j eonnard Weinstein's request on Thursday that he get
out of Riker's Island and into Bellevue Hospital because of
his medical complications. Meanwhile, jury selection will continue Monday for
a trial that's expected to last into late May. Weinstein
is facing one count of rape, two counts of criminal
sex acts connected to alleged incidents involving an actress, a
production assistant, and another woman who was not part of
(16:32):
the original trial. Weinstein's previous conviction was tossed due to
errors in how the witness process was handled. I'm Scattpringle
wrdw's all right.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I know everybody hates when I bring up this topic,
but it's national exercise, yes, and here are the top
signs that it is. The gym hasn't been this crowd
since January twod you're counting getting off the couch's cardio
that's me. You've been wearing your running shoes all over
the office. Finally get to wear that new sweatband. Everyone
(17:03):
is checking on how many steps they've gotten in. No
one is judging you for rowing a fake boat. And
you counted returning Amazon packages as a workout. That's what
do you guys think? Are you going to exercise today
for National Exercise Day or what would you count as exercise?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I walked around the office in a commercial break before
right good for you, I said, I'm going for a
walker day, some steps in.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Yes, she does that. I do that too sometimes because
she gave me the idea. How about you, Larry?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
That is so annoying. All the people that have that
thing on their wrist that tell you how many steps
they got.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
In, You go, I got it to mine is not
so great today, But see, I'll tell you in a
second we'll walk after this.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Now.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Oh boy, I've only got like two thousand steps in today,
So that's not bad.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
This is that's not bad for this time of the morning,
and the fact that you've been working.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
That'd be a record for me. That was actually really good.
That sounds like a lot of steps. That sounds exhausting.
What is your goal, Natalie for day the day?
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Ten thousand?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well, that is a stretch.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
It's hard to get ten thousand steps, it really is.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh and when we went on this tour and there
was all walk in mony, people are looking and sharing
we're up to twenty five thousand steps.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I mean, if I get seventy five hundred eight thousand,
I'm I'm content.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, I wasn't exaggerating about the twenty four Yeah, by
the way, they actually got that in. But man, that
just anyway. How about the sucks? Oh, no stocks today,
no ting on Wall Street today? For good Friday. Well,
then we'll say goodbye, fiks, Jacqueline, have a great weekend,
you too. Film journalists. In wol r's Movie Minute, host
Joe Newmeyer is up next. He's gonna let us know
(18:39):
if the movie Sinners is worth going to the theaters for
this weekend. Stay with Us at Madison offers thirty five
affordable units, including one, two, and three. Now, let's go
to Joe Newmeyer, film journalist and wo R Movie minuted
host to talk about some of the entertainment for this weekend. Hey, Joe,
before we get some of the tips from you for
(19:02):
this weekend and your critique of the movies. We have
a suggestion for you. Have you heard of Moose TV Moose?
I have not.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
I hope there's only moose on that TV. What is
moose there is?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's huge right now, and we'd like you to take
a look at it just to critique it for us,
because Natalie loves it, Jacqueline Carl loves it. I think
it's mind numbing. Maybe that's why they like it. But
it's put out by a Swedish outlet called CVT and
you can get it online. There's millions of people watching
(19:37):
this and it's twenty four hours of migrating moose.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
It sounds thrilling and actually kind of relaxing at the
same time. I will only say that I hope that
that that all the moose is. It's mo thurl of
Moose's Moose.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not nice.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
So all not mice, not mice, right, So I just
hope all the moose maybe have their own likeybe, they'll
have their own genre. So eventually they'll be like, you know,
an action adventure starring the moose, or maybe there's a
moose romance, you know, a Hallmark Channel with just Moose
in all the roles. I don't know, but hey, that's.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
A great idea. You see. It took a movie guy
to make the Moose more exciting. I would watch you
if you made it, I would watch it. So what's
in the theaters? Go ahead, my move too.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
One quick thing. We didn't get chance to talk last
week about the best stunt acting that the Oscar's going
to add. Right, you've heard about this. This was the
big news last week. I was away and I am
just I just want to put my two cents out there.
I have been. I've been advocating for this for years, Larry,
that the Oscars put in like a best stunt design,
best stunt at work Oscar and starting in twenty twenty eight,
(20:44):
that's what it's going to be, which is fantastic. I'm
a big fan of that.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's wonderful. When I was out at Access Hollywood, one
of the things they were really pushing for, and maybe
it's happened and you can tell me, was casting. They
thought they deserved an Oscar. Now is it in?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Now?
Speaker 9 (20:59):
That's actually it's starting in twenty twenty six, So that's
something coming in for the movies releases this year. In
twenty twenty five, next year's Oscars will have a best
Casting Oscar so Best ensembleed or something like that, and
then in twenty twenty eight for movies released in twenty
twenty seven best Stunt Acting, which means that you know,
look in the past. You know, if you ask me,
(21:19):
movies like Terminator two should have gotten it, or obviously
Mad Max Furry Road. So many of the Bond films, Inception,
you know, the great, great movies with great stunts, and
a lot of the Mission Impossibles are like this too.
So now there's going to be this noteworthy Oscar for it,
which is which is fantastic. I've been saying it for years,
and it's a good way to get people to watch
(21:40):
the Oscars too. Yeah, everybody watched it. I mean, Tom
Cruise is up there risking his life for our entertainment.
You know, let tell that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It's a tremendous point. I'll tell you what I was.
I was at a film festival once and I talked
to the director Mike Lawrence, and he said to me,
you know, the stuff that we do on the set,
that picture they always take with the director looking into
a camera and setting up a shot. He goes. That's
like five percent of the film. The most important things
are the script and the casting, and the fact that
(22:09):
they have ignored casting for this long is obscene.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
I totally agree, totally. So those are So that's two
good news about the Oscars. Good news items about the Oscars.
I'm excited about now the movies this week. I'm also
actually excited about. Whether it's Star Moose or Humans, i'd
be excited about it. It's called Sinners. It's really good.
I'm giving it four out of five stars. And Michael B.
Jordan plays two roles in it. We'll talk that in
a second. It takes place in the early nineteen thirties.
(22:35):
It's a there's a twist for it. Now, people may
be reading up on reviews which maybe give away the twist.
I'm not going to give away what the twist is
in this movie. But it's one of the movies that's
sort of like like kind of like from Dusk Till Dawn,
the terit Cleo Church Cluty film where it starts out
as sort of one thing and it becomes another. And
there's a few movies like this. So I'm not going
to give away what the twist is, but I'm going
to say that I think that it ends up being
(22:56):
this really exciting genre film and a very cool drama.
It's a very cool adventure. It starts out though, as
sort of these two brothers played by Michael B. Jordan
who want to open up a juke joint, a music joint,
down in Mississippi in the nineteen thirties. They previously worked
for Capone in Chicago and and but but one of
their musicians playing the blues really well kind of brings
(23:20):
out all these other factors. So I'm that's all of
it to say it's four out of five stars. I
think it's really really dynamic and exciting. And then there's
this other second.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Holy one second, because you said two brothers played by
right and they playth he does both.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
That's a he does both, and it's fantastic. Now the tech,
now this is the thing we're talking about, you know,
oscar stuff and technology. We've gotten to this point now
where we're used to this kind of thing. But it's
sometimes it's done well and sometimes not. And oddly, this
is like the third film in like two months that
has this Mickey seventeen and al To Knights. Also Warner
Brothers movies had you know, like de Niro and Robert
(23:55):
Pattinson in multiple roles. So so Michael B. Jordan plays
both brought and it reminds me of like things like
this is when it's done well, it could be really
fun things like Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons back in
the eighties or Adaptation with Nicholas Cage where he plays
two brothers and it's seamless and the technology makes it,
you know, so so cool to look at. But it's
(24:17):
also about the performance. And Jordan does a great job
in here of doing that, you know, of playing playing
multiple roles, and I just think that that's a fun
a fun genre you can go back to the thirties
and forties with like The Prisoner of Zenda or Betty
Davis did in a couple of movies, and then classic
you know examples are of course like Peter Seller's in
(24:37):
Doctor Strangelove where he plays three roles, and Lee Marvin,
the Great Lee Marvin. The only act best actor Oscar
he got was for a comedy western called cat Bellow
back in nineteen sixty five, where he plays yeah right exactly,
so he's play one is a drug you know, a
drunken gunslinger, so he plays the two roles there, and
then you add things like the you know, the Austin
(24:59):
Powers movies of course, or fun Eddie Murphy does it
sometimes but adaptation. And then there's one called Legend with
Tom Hardy where he plays the British gangsters, the Cray Brothers,
these guys in the sixties. And then Moon with Sam
Rockwell who plays like three versions of himself. It's a
fun little mini genre and this movie absolutely joins it.
It's really just the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It only is an acting exercise. Has any one won
an Oscar for winning for playing two roles?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
No, sad I mean the only one that we that
we mentioned obviously is uh Lee Marvin for Kaptallloo. Otherwise
Nicholas Cadge was nominated, didn't win. Uh Michael Keaton did
it really well in a movie called Multiplicity that yeah yeah,
So sadly nobody has or back to this, even Back
to the Future part three where Michael J. Fox plays
like his own grandfather back in the Old West and
(25:48):
himself Marty McFly. So there's things like that, but nobody,
nobody's won, So maybe I don't know, maybe this will
be Jordan's time to repeat the but I don't know.
I know, I think that kind of thing. Unfortunately, that
kind of thing kind of gets uh. The Academy makes
it look like just a stunt. But like when he's
passing a cigarette to himself or throws himself up, you know,
a baseball or something in this movie, it's really cool
(26:10):
to look at and it's a very fun Scott Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Director deserves some credit for that, because that's that's difficult
to pull off. Hey, we don't have a lot of
time left. Did you you have another movie you want
to talk about?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
No, that's it. That's what I will say. It is
directed by you mentioned director is there Ryan Coopler who
did Black Panther and Creed. So it's got it. You know,
he's got a great director in it, and he's working
with Michael B. Jordan again, so so right it is.
It is a credit to the director to be able
to pull off that stunt and make it make it
realistic and maybe, you know, maybe it'll be nominated for
Best Stunt Stuff in a couple of years. To give
you something similar.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Who knows or the Moose will one of the two,
not if there's a Tom Cruise movie in that same year. Hey,
real quick, now, I can't remember what I was gonna
tell you. I wanted something real quick from me, and
I just completely forgot.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
So coming up on summer movie season, so I'm sure
there'll be stuff to talk about over that week or two.
I'm sure big stuff coming out.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, as soon as they go goodbye, I'm gonna remember.
I'm gonna have to call you so much. Joe Numeier,
Movie Minute host and film journalist. When we come back,
we'll have a recap of today's show and my final thoughts.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Mark Simone is next on WOR, but first here's Larry
Minty with some final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yesterday, I called it the most damning split screen in history.
Maryland Democratic Senator Chris van Holland holding a press conference
in l Salvador, saying he's not going to give up
trying to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS thirteen gangbanger
and wife beater who most importantly is in this country illegally.
(27:44):
And on the other side of the screen was Patricia
Morin from Maryland, whose daughter Rachel, herself a mother of five,
was raped and brutally murdered by a man led into
this country from l Salvador under Biden and Democratic rule.
It couldn't have been a worse moment for Senator van
(28:05):
Holland or the Democrats because he never ever, once reached
out to the family of Rachel Morin, who again was
killed by an illegal from Al Salvador, and he is
now back in L Salvador trying to bring an illegal
immigrant back into the country. And that's why I thought
(28:25):
it was damning for Senator van Holland and the Democrats.
But I may have been wrong because I was watching
Fox News and that's where I saw the split screen.
CNN MSNBC didn't even cover the news conference, so their
viewers didn't get a chance to see it. Shame on them.
(28:48):
They once again have shown their bias. You see, the
greatest bias is the bias of omission. If you don't
cover it, you can pretend like it never happened. They
are just like the Democrats they revere so much, who
sat on their hands while President Trump, at a joint
(29:08):
session of Congress, introduced mothers whose daughters were raped and
killed by illegal aliens. That stunt, that obscene stunt was
universally panned and because of bad choices. Just like that,
the Democrats are now suffering record low approval ratings, so
(29:31):
it's no surprise that their partners CNN and MSNBC are
also suffering record low ratings. You know, maybe they should
try something new like journalism. Coming up on the Mark

Friedman and newsman CEO's Chris Ruddy. Plus listen for the

Nations legal contributor Jesse Weber discusses the strongest strategy now
(30:20):
for convicting Luigi Mangioni.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
If the goal is to convict Luigi Mangioni of what
is a Henus crime, you've got the state charges, the
easiest charge.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Do you go to the state case?
Speaker 10 (30:32):
One of the most straightforward direct charges he's facing is
murdering the second degree intent to kill. Everything that we've
seen again is innocent until proven guilty, But taking all
the evidence that we see, that feels like the most straightforward.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Charge ABC News Washington Bureau chief Rick Klein talks about
the precedent set by Harvard after they push back against
the Trump administration's call to withdraw their tax exempt status.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
Harvard's position does change the verstation a bit because you
have the oldest institution, maybe the most famous, and the
wealthiest institution of the country saying no, we're not going
to do this, and it gives licensed smaller ones to
try to do the same. Harvard may be better equipped
to handle it, and we'll see how it shakes out
in terms of what it means for their services and
for their admissions and for their retention. But I do
think it's a big moment when anyone the size and
(31:18):
the haft of Harvard says thanks, but no thanks for
telling us how to run our place.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Citi Hall Bureau chief Craig McCarthy asserts the questions about
Andrew Cuomo's cognitive health are genuine and being asked.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
And they're running a rose garden campaign. The question is
why it was just a tactic because to the front runners,
they don't want to see a miss step word. Is
there something else also going on? When we send the
editord meeting with the new York Posts. He wrote about
it and noted that he's mixed up a few things.
He confused the free different things. I his campaign is
obviously adamantly pushing back again such things. But it's it's
(31:55):
a question that has you know it's.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Being asked, and I can't help but feel bad the
lonely wild Turkey historia roaming around Manhattan. I have to
feel bad for a storia. All she is is she's
looking for love. She's crying out constantly. You can hear
her screaming, What's wrong with me? Why can't I find
(32:17):
a mate? She's attractive, she travels a lot, she has
an interesting story. I don't know why she can't find
love in Manhattan.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Her online profiles sounds so intriguing.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It is. We also discussed the city's new bike traffic lights,
designed for easy visibility, and as always, you shared your
opinions and joined the conversation on talkback.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Here's an idea, maybe a politician would come out of
the shell.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
And actually ask the bikers do you see the lights before.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
We spend a billion dollars in lights?
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Or are you just ignoring them? And if you're just
ignoring them, whatever, But it's a money once again.
