That is that is very ocean deep, Johnna. I don't know that that was the plan. I just think\n[03:20] maybe the others probably agreed with my analysis and that is while it's completely unfair in the\n[03:27] court of public opinion for Leticia James to remain on this case and she should have already\n[03:31] taken a step back to give the image of of a fair neutral hearing. The issue isn't ripe yet.\n[03:39] By that, I mean, the harm hasn't happened legally.\n[03:45] If Letitia James decides not to file charges\n[03:49] against certain ones or all of them,\n[03:52] then the judge shouldn't have to rule at this time.\n[03:55] It's not right yet.\n[03:57] You wait until the harm occurs,\n[03:59] and then you say, okay, it's improper.\n[04:02] And that's not what I would wanna do if this is my boy,\n[04:05] but I think that's how the judge is gonna rule.\n[04:07] because you don't want the harm to occur.\n[04:09] I think part of the fear is that, as you just said,\n[04:12] she will indict for something.\n[04:14] You can indict at a ham sandwich.\n[04:16] But now we're talking.\n[04:17] It's like just to jump ahead with the Lindsey Clancy\n[04:20] gag order, it's like, oh, you think that his comments\n[04:24] in the future might.\n[04:26] Well, it's not really ripe yet.\n[04:29] There's no harm just yet.\n[04:31] You've got a woman who says she can be fair.\n[04:34] I mean, this is the legal analysis,\n[04:36] and she hasn't ruled yet.\n[04:38] And I would love for her to be gone,\n[04:41] but who do you think that hurts the sole defendants position,\n[04:47] the one that's moving to recuse her as a prosecutor\n[04:51] that the others didn't join in?\n[04:54] No, I don't think it hurts him,\n[04:57] except that the judge is giving the others time to join in.\n[05:01] So it's delaying the ruling, perhaps just a little bit.\n[05:06] So but I don't think at the end of the day, it will hurt him.\n[05:09] I think he has legitimate reason.\n[05:10] And everybody has legitimate reason to want to get rid of her,\n[05:13] whether they actually move for that or not is going to be completely up\n[05:17] to each individual defendant.\n[05:19] But she's not the only one who's who's bias.\n[05:21] And while we still have a few minutes here, I do want to play.\n[05:25] If you don't mind. So Netflix. Yes.\n[05:28] What do they call it?\n[05:29] They're calling it an insta doc.\n[05:31] I've never heard of it.\n[05:32] Insta doc.\n[05:32] I guess that's just a documentary that's put together really fast.\n[05:36] Yeah, sounds like it.\n[05:37] Yeah, yeah, because it was pretty quick.\n[05:39] It's only like a one-part documentary,\n[05:42] 30-something minutes maybe, you know, it wasn't.\n[05:45] It was kind of cashing in on this scenario for right now.\n[05:49] Cashing in as if these guys have been tried and convicted\n[05:53] and they haven't even been charged with any crime yet.\n[05:56] You got to remember the only thing that's out there so far\n[06:00] is a civil complaint for money damages, OK?\n[06:04] But just in case you're wondering\n[06:06] whether the governor of New York who appointed Tish James,\n[06:09] the special prosecutor, also might have some bias,\n[06:12] can we please play?\n[06:15] It's not two and three.\n[06:16] Yeah, it's not two and three.\n[06:18] Yeah.\n[06:19] Let's do that.\n[06:22] Allegedly, it became unconcential as more brothers\n[06:26] were invited upstairs.\n[06:29] The district attorney said criminal charges\n[06:31] weren't pursued because the evidence\n[06:33] was insufficient to constitute sexual assault.\n[06:39] My first reaction was,\n[06:41] how disgusting.\n[06:44] This institution was gonna fulfill her dream,\n[06:47] and instead it became her nightmare.\n[06:48] I told Jane Doe, I want to write a story.\n[06:52] You never know what is going to ignite something.\n[06:57] Our administration can't only be responding now\n[07:01] because they're under the pressure of national news.\n[07:04] None of us expected it to be like this.\n[07:07] This case, the scale of this, the number of people involved\n[07:11] and the repugnancy of her allegations\n[07:14] would have drawn you to the local police department\n[07:17] fairly quickly.\n[07:19] Campus police, technically, they are\n[07:21] depotized by the local police to function\n[07:24] as a policing organization on a campus.\n[07:26] But one can very quickly see that there could be a conflict\n[07:30] because you're also protecting the reputation\n[07:33] of your boss, the university.\n[07:36] Is it your belief that Cornell's police\n[07:39] was influenced by conflict of interest in this case?\n[07:42] No, I have no evidence of that.\n[07:43] And I'm not saying that that was necessarily the case.\n[07:46] But in a situation like this, you\n[07:48] want to make sure that people believe in the process.\n[07:51] I called the university president\n[07:54] and said I want to have an independent investigation.\n[07:57] I want outside counsel to look at all the actions\n[08:00] of the university.\n[08:01] When the Tompkins County District Attorney announced that he was reopening the case, he\n[08:07] pointed to Jane Doe's statement and said it did not establish that a crime had occurred.\n[08:13] But new reporting raises serious questions about the information his office relied upon\n[08:18] when it made that decision.\n[08:20] And that's why I believe this case demands a special prosecutor who will provide a\n[08:25] fresh and thorough review of all the facts, including the information that has recently\n[08:30] come to life. Prove to me and the public and the campus and this young woman that everything\n[08:37] you did was correct.\n[08:40] John, I am so offended by so many things that she said. Okay, first and foremost, when she\n[08:47] heard that the prosecutor didn't pick up any charges, didn't file any charges, her\n[08:54] first and only thought process was just how corrupt, how horrible, how unfortunate, whatever\n[09:00] word she wants to use. Okay, not I don't know. I'm not a\n[09:05] prosecutor. I didn't get my hands dirty on this one. Maybe I\n[09:08] should talk to them and see why they don't have proof beyond\n[09:11] it to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. That's the\n[09:13] first thing. And then the second thing is how effing\n[09:16] hypocritical of her to suggest the campus police. Thank\n[09:20] you. Take that one. Go. I think you share the same.\n[09:23] All right. So she comes out on this Insta doc and says,\n[09:26] Oh, well, you know, we should we should assume that\n[09:29] that there's a conflict of interest\n[09:30] because the campus police work for the campus\n[09:33] and therefore they wanna make their boss,\n[09:36] i.e. the president of the campus, look good.\n[09:39] That's a conflict of interest.\n[09:41] But then, Mark, who does she appoint as special prosecutor?\n[09:47] It's ridiculous.\n[09:48] Since James worked for Cathy Hockel,\n[09:51] she would wanna make her boss look good.\n[09:53] Cathy Hockel wants somebody who's gonna make\n[09:56] Kathy Hockel looked good.\n[09:58] Oh my God, can she like add both sides of her mouth?\n[10:02] Finally, not that we needed confirmation.\n[10:05] We assume she's a bright, savvy politician,\n[10:07] so she knows about the image of impropriety.\n[10:10] But here she's laying it out in this documentary\n[10:13] that the campus police gives the image of impropriety\n[10:17] because they could be covering for their bosses.\n[10:19] Similarly, you're appointing Leticia James.\n[10:22] It is so parallel that she should immediately\n[10:26] get anybody else, I joked on one show, pick carrot top.\n[10:30] At least he hasn't prejudged the case.\n[10:33] Here's how most people find out\n[10:34] their Medicare plan changed.\n[10:36] They don't get a phone call.\n[10:37] The notice comes in the mail,\n[10:39] in an envelope that almost nobody opens.\n[10:41] They walk up to the pharmacy counter in January\n[10:44] and the price is different.\n[10:45] Medicare plans change every year\n[10:47] and some go away entirely.\n[10:49] For most people, the window to make changes\n[10:50] closes December 7th, and after that, they are locked in for the year.\n[10:55] This is why you need to know about the independent Medicare advisors at Chapter.\n[10:59] Not a plan, not an insurance company.\n[11:01] They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide, so Chapter can put\n[11:06] your prescriptions and your doctors against every option you've got for 2027.\n[11:11] If you're on the right plan, they will tell you.\n[11:13] If you're not, they will help you switch.\n[11:14] So do it today.\n[11:15] Don't wait until you hit the deadline or miss it.\n[11:19] chapter at 910-375-5179.

That is that is very ocean deep, Johnna. I don't know that that was the plan. I just think\n[03:20] maybe the others probably agreed with my analysis and that is while it's completely unfair in the\n[03:27] court of public opinion for Leticia James to remain on this case and she should have already\n[03:31] taken a step back to give the image of of a fair neutral hearing. The issue isn't ripe yet.\n[03:39] By that, I mean, the harm hasn't happened legally.\n[03:45] If Letitia James decides not to file charges\n[03:49] against certain ones or all of them,\n[03:52] then the judge shouldn't have to rule at this time.\n[03:55] It's not right yet.\n[03:57] You wait until the harm occurs,\n[03:59] and then you say, okay, it's improper.\n[04:02] And that's not what I would wanna do if this is my boy,\n[04:05] but I think that's how the judge is gonna rule.\n[04:07] because you don't want the harm to occur.\n[04:09] I think part of the fear is that, as you just said,\n[04:12] she will indict for something.\n[04:14] You can indict at a ham sandwich.\n[04:16] But now we're talking.\n[04:17] It's like just to jump ahead with the Lindsey Clancy\n[04:20] gag order, it's like, oh, you think that his comments\n[04:24] in the future might.\n[04:26] Well, it's not really ripe yet.\n[04:29] There's no harm just yet.\n[04:31] You've got a woman who says she can be fair.\n[04:34] I mean, this is the legal analysis,\n[04:36] and she hasn't ruled yet.\n[04:38] And I would love for her to be gone,\n[04:41] but who do you think that hurts the sole defendants position,\n[04:47] the one that's moving to recuse her as a prosecutor\n[04:51] that the others didn't join in?\n[04:54] No, I don't think it hurts him,\n[04:57] except that the judge is giving the others time to join in.\n[05:01] So it's delaying the ruling, perhaps just a little bit.\n[05:06] So but I don't think at the end of the day, it will hurt him.\n[05:09] I think he has legitimate reason.\n[05:10] And everybody has legitimate reason to want to get rid of her,\n[05:13] whether they actually move for that or not is going to be completely up\n[05:17] to each individual defendant.\n[05:19] But she's not the only one who's who's bias.\n[05:21] And while we still have a few minutes here, I do want to play.\n[05:25] If you don't mind.

Yes.\n[05:28] What do they call it?\n[05:29] They're calling it an insta doc.\n[05:31] I've never heard of it.\n[05:32] Insta doc.\n[05:32] I guess that's just a documentary that's put together really fast.\n[05:36] Yeah, sounds like it.\n[05:37] Yeah, yeah, because it was pretty quick.\n[05:39] It's only like a one-part documentary,\n[05:42] 30-something minutes maybe, you know, it wasn't.\n[05:45] It was kind of cashing in on this scenario for right now.\n[05:49] Cashing in as if these guys have been tried and convicted\n[05:53] and they haven't even been charged with any crime yet.\n[05:56] You got to remember the only thing that's out there so far\n[06:00] is a civil complaint for money damages, OK?\n[06:04] But just in case you're wondering\n[06:06] whether the governor of New York who appointed Tish James,\n[06:09] the special prosecutor, also might have some bias,\n[06:12] can we please play?\n[06:15] It's not two and three.\n[06:16] Yeah, it's not two and three.\n[06:18] Yeah.\n[06:19] Let's do that.\n[06:22] Allegedly, it became unconcential as more brothers\n[06:26] were invited upstairs.\n[06:29] The district attorney said criminal charges\n[06:31] weren't pursued because the evidence\n[06:33] was insufficient to constitute sexual assault.\n[06:39] My first reaction was,\n[06:41] how disgusting.\n[06:44] This institution was gonna fulfill her dream,\n[06:47] and instead it became her nightmare.\n[06:48] I told Jane Doe, I want to write a story.\n[06:52] You never know what is going to ignite something.\n[06:57] Our administration can't only be responding now\n[07:01] because they're under the pressure of national news.\n[07:04] None of us expected it to be like this.\n[07:07] This case, the scale of this, the number of people involved\n[07:11] and the repugnancy of her allegations\n[07:14] would have drawn you to the local police department\n[07:17] fairly quickly.\n[07:19] Campus police, technically, they are\n[07:21] depotized by the local police to function\n[07:24] as a policing organization on a campus.\n[07:26] But one can very quickly see that there could be a conflict\n[07:30] because you're also protecting the reputation\n[07:33] of your boss, the university.\n[07:36] Is it your belief that Cornell's police\n[07:39] was influenced by conflict of interest in this case?\n[07:42] No, I have no evidence of that.\n[07:43] And I'm not saying that that was necessarily the case.\n[07:46] But in a situation like this, you\n[07:48] want to make sure that people believe in the process.\n[07:51] I called the university president\n[07:54] and said I want to have an independent investigation.\n[07:57] I want outside counsel to look at all the actions\n[08:00] of the university.\n[08:01] When the Tompkins County District Attorney announced that he was reopening the case, he\n[08:07] pointed to Jane Doe's statement and said it did not establish that a crime had occurred.\n[08:13] But new reporting raises serious questions about the information his office relied upon\n[08:18] when it made that decision.\n[08:20] And that's why I believe this case demands a special prosecutor who will provide a\n[08:25] fresh and thorough review of all the facts, including the information that has recently\n[08:30] come to life. Prove to me and the public and the campus and this young woman that everything\n[08:37] you did was correct.\n[08:40] John, I am so offended by so many things that she said. Okay, first and foremost, when she\n[08:47] heard that the prosecutor didn't pick up any charges, didn't file any charges, her\n[08:54] first and only thought process was just how corrupt, how horrible, how unfortunate, whatever\n[09:00] word she wants to use. Okay, not I don't know. I'm not a\n[09:05] prosecutor. I didn't get my hands dirty on this one. Maybe I\n[09:08] should talk to them and see why they don't have proof beyond\n[09:11] it to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. That's the\n[09:13] first thing. And then the second thing is how effing\n[09:16] hypocritical of her to suggest the campus police. Thank\n[09:20] you. Take that one. Go. I think you share the same.\n[09:23] All right. So she comes out on this Insta doc and says,\n[09:26] Oh, well, you know, we should we should assume that\n[09:29] that there's a conflict of interest\n[09:30] because the campus police work for the campus\n[09:33] and therefore they wanna make their boss,\n[09:36] i.e. the president of the campus, look good.\n[09:39] That's a conflict of interest.\n[09:41] But then, Mark, who does she appoint as special prosecutor?\n[09:47] It's ridiculous.\n[09:48] Since James worked for Cathy Hockel,\n[09:51] she would wanna make her boss look good.\n[09:53] Cathy Hockel wants somebody who's gonna make\n[09:56] Kathy Hockel looked good.\n[09:58] Oh my God, can she like add both sides of her mouth?\n[10:02] Finally, not that we needed confirmation.\n[10:05] We assume she's a bright, savvy politician,\n[10:07] so she knows about the image of impropriety.\n[10:10] But here she's laying it out in this documentary\n[10:13] that the campus police gives the image of impropriety\n[10:17] because they could be covering for their bosses.\n[10:19] Similarly, you're appointing Leticia James.\n[10:22] It is so parallel that she should immediately\n[10:26] get anybody else, I joked on one show, pick carrot top.\n[10:30] At least he hasn't prejudged the case.\n[10:33] Here's how most people find out\n[10:34] their Medicare plan changed.\n[10:36] They don't get a phone call.\n[10:37] The notice comes in the mail,\n[10:39] in an envelope that almost nobody opens.\n[10:41] They walk up to the pharmacy counter in January\n[10:44] and the price is different.\n[10:45] Medicare plans change every year\n[10:47] and some go away entirely.\n[10:49] For most people, the window to make changes\n[10:50] closes December 7th, and after that, they are locked in for the year.\n[10:55] This is why you need to know about the independent Medicare advisors at Chapter.\n[10:59] Not a plan, not an insurance company.\n[11:01] They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide, so Chapter can put\n[11:06] your prescriptions and your doctors against every option you've got for 2027.\n[11:11] If you're on the right plan, they will tell you.\n[11:13] If you're not, they will help you switch.\n[11:14] So do it today.\n[11:15] Don't wait until you hit the deadline or miss it.\n[11:19] chapter at 910-375-5179.
