Hour 4: Apple WWDC preview

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
More menty in the morning, very minty on sevent ten warm,
welcome back, can't wait to get outside. I hope you've
been enjoying your rite in hope you've been enjoying the day,
because it's going to be just beautiful today in the
Big Three. How about that debate last night, that New

(00:20):
York mayoral debate. You know, I was dreading it because
with nine people you never you don't usually get a lot,
and some of the people you know aren't going to win.
But wow, the debate turned into the Andrew Cuomo roast
personal regrets.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Question was about your personal regret in your non politics,
I said, I.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Regret the state of the Democratic Party is.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
No person Trump.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
No regrets when it comes to cutting medicaidor healthcare, no
regrets when it comes to cutting child care, no regrets
when it comes to slow walking PPE and vaccinations in
the season of COVID to black and brown communities. Really
no regret.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Now, Andrew Cuomo held his own, but wow, they were
all coming after him. I mean, there was a group
of far left liberals that it looks like they all
want Zora Mamdani to win, because they were attacking him
and Zori Mamdani, except for a couple of mild shots
mostly from Cuomo, was skating free. This is really getting worrisome. Well,

(01:26):
the Trump administration is threatening Columbia University now with its
accreditation for allowing anti semit anti Semitic behavior on campus,
and that affects one of the may eoral candidates in
the debate last night. My daughter is one of them
in college right now. My wife and children are Jewish.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
This personal to me, but I am, and these mobs,
let's be clear, were incited by activists like the Democratic
Socialists of America.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
That's Whitney Tilson know him. I didn't think so. I
don't think most people knew he was even running until
last night's debate. The FBI is making it crystal clear
that it is investigating the attack on Jews in Boulder,
Colorado as a terrorist attack. We're not the Federal Bureau
of freaking word games anymore. Okay, It's the Federal Bureau

(02:13):
of Investigation. Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is in some
trouble now in the Senate, with some calling in the
Senate right now, some calling to redo it for a
whole new bill.

Speaker 7 (02:25):
We don't have time for a branded bill, and I
want Elon and all my friends to recognize the complexity
of what we've accomplished here with this extraordinary.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
Use of legislation.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, all of this is happening because of Elon Musk.
It's like he gave permission now to tear apart the bill.
And what Speaker Johnson was just saying there, if you
change the bill, it has to come back to the House,
we have to vote on it again. It's going to
take forever. And this is exactly what the Democrats want.
So you know, cool your heels for just a little bit.

(02:55):
And Karine Jean Pierre, as you may have heard, has
a new book out trying to distance herself from not
only Biden in the administration, but the entire Democratic Party.
She's calling the book Independent because she's an independent. Now, Kareem,
we remember.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Do you believe that the president is as sharp today
as he was when he took this job?

Speaker 6 (03:21):
Yeah? Slow down.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
What I can say is this is a president who
is strong and resolute in delivering for the American people.
That's what I see. He is as sharp as as
ever as I have known him to be in my engagement,
in my experience with.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Him, well, the book isn't out until the fall, but
she put this video out obviously she wanted to distance
herself from the Biden cover up and all the investigations.
And it's going to be investigated by both Congress and
the Justice Department. It's going to be a fascinating couple
of months. And right now, let's get to doctor Arthur Caplan,

(03:57):
professor of bioethics at New York Universe City Land Gone
Medical Center. Doctor Kaplan, thanks for joining us as always, Hey,
thanks for remu Larry. Absolutely, let's talk about the elderly
and pot if pot use among the elderly. I guess
we should have expected this is growing because that generation

(04:20):
is growing up.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I think that's exactly the explanation. Is a bunch of
people who were smoking and token in the sixties and
seventies now getting up to their dotage. I mean that class,
by the way, and they're used to using marijuana. One
other factor, it's legal, right, so we've seen big shifts

(04:43):
in laws New York City, New York State, New Jersey.
You can possess, you can even grow, so you've got
a lot more use in a climate that I think
is accepting. If you will.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Are there any health risks at all?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
There are. There's a couple of things to pay attention
to here. One, the marijuana of today is not the
marijuana of my youth. It is about ten times stronger.
It's bread or grown, you know, to really be more potent.
It has more THC. The business end of marijuana that

(05:24):
gets people high. I don't think people understand that it
is far stronger. So if you use it, and let's say,
then do the proverbial don't operate a motor vehicle, you
could be very impaired at the level of being drunk.
If it's very very strong and you take other drugs,
as the elderly do, you can get interactions. It could

(05:45):
be dangerous for you. I think one of the big risks.
Also for the elderly, they're often suffering a little bit
from hearing loss. There may be some physical impairment, let's
say vision and loss and so on, and marijuana can
complicate that. You know what the biggest, biggest danger is
for an older person falls Larry's sawling down break it

(06:09):
a hip break it, you know what I mean? We
see that and I hate to say it, but a
fall is off in the road really the end, because
you don't get better quickly, you get bedbound. A lot
of these people don't have helpers or someone who's strong
enough to help them. The spouse is also elderly. Anyway,
you gotta be very careful. Do not smoke and then

(06:31):
run around or you know, stay out of the bathroom,
don't go to places where slips and falls can happen.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, that's great advice. It's fine. I smoked pot once
in college and hated it, and so I don't smoke
at all. But I have all these friends now that
are taking gummies.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, you know something, you and I are in the
same camp. I actually never I tried it, didn't do
much for me, didn't really care for it, and not
being on smoking just by taste. I don't want to
say I'm a highly ethical person when.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
They just like it, that's right, But I mean I'm
sussing up here.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I just didn't like it. I can't say the same
a beer, for example. But uh, you know, I think
you've got situations again, as we're saying, where the uh,
the elderly or just they may they're not young anymore.
So you got to be much more careful when you're

(07:28):
using something that can impair you. That really is important
to keep in mind.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
So let's talk about this new viral wellness trend. Raw
milk is that dangerous?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Oh? I hate this trend. I just hate it. You know,
you guys know the name Lewis pasteur famous French scientists
from last century. He's famous because he developed a technique
to pasteurize milk. It's named after him. Why, because too
many people were from drinking raw milk. You drink raw milk,

(08:03):
you're picking up every infection, every danger that the cow
and the cow herd has. They can transmit bacteria. I
don't want to get too disgusting about this, but let's
just say the cows are out in pastures and they're
not in the cleanest environment. They do get bacteria and
infections and that can get into the raw milk. I

(08:23):
know it has its proponents, Rfka junior is one or others,
but there's really no big health benefit from raw milk none,
and you're getting risk. So I just think it's something
that really you want to avoid and please don't give
it to children.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
We've been talking about AI a lot this morning, and
how afraid we are of it. Because we think it's
going to take over the world and now AI could
be your therapist. Is that right?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I hope not yet, but yes, it is a danger.
There are plenty of programs online that are saying, hey,
very cheap, don't have to pay for a psychologist, psychiatrist,
social worker, use this AI program. Well, it's not ready
for prime time. AI can be helpful if you're in
medicine or in mental health, can remind you about a

(09:18):
diagnosis or a drug interaction. It's useful as a tool,
but it cannot yet replace a therapist. It doesn't have
the ability to empathize. It doesn't know how to pick
up subtle human clues. And by the way, it often
spends a lot of it's time the AI program surfing
around on the Internet and picking up information there which

(09:41):
is often inaccurate, false, or just you know, distorted, and
you don't want that to be the basis of your therapy.
So no, don't use AI yet as your therapist. Is
it coming. Yeah, we'll talking about five or six years,
and I think then the programs may be up to snuff.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Not today, Oh thank god, something it can't do. Doctor
Arthur Caplan, Professor of bioethics at New York University Landgo
Medical Center. Thank you so much, doctor.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Hey, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
ABC News investigative reporter Peter Haralambus joins us with a
chilling recap of day twenty in the P Diddy trial.
He's next.

Speaker 6 (10:20):
WRNNY airy.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Can you believe that it's day twenty one already of
the P Diddy trial and we may not be halfway
through yet. Peter Harra Lambus has been covering it. He's
the ABC News investigative reporter for ABC, and he joins us, Now,
thanks you so much, Peter for being here again.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
Always my pleasure there.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
So, Peter, what happened on day twenty?

Speaker 9 (10:49):
Yeah, So this was more dramatic testimony, this time form
a longtime friend. It's Cassie Ventura. She testified that in
twenty sixteen, coms inexplicably attacked her, dangled her from the
seventeenth floor balcony, and then threw her into a coffee table.
It doesn't really know, It doesn't really seem clear at
the moment how that falls into the racketeering charge other
than the fact that it was kind of demonstratings. Cass

(11:11):
even to her how violent Combs allegedly could be. But
we're really expecting testimony to heat up today when the
third and final victim takes the stand in the case.
She's going to be testifying under the pseudonym Jane. She's
a single mother who allegedly got it into a relationship
with Combs as early as twenty twenty, and she allegedly
was sex trafficked by Combs as recently as last year.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh, this sex trafficking would play into the federal charges.
So here we are. We're getting to something now right exactly.

Speaker 9 (11:38):
We're getting to someone who can talk about those two
sex trafficking accounts and someone who can talk about it
overall racketeering counts. We also expect to see what's expected
to be some of the strongest evidence in the case.
Apparently the prosecution has recordings of this witness basically getting
a phone call from Combs after cast even through her
file to a lawsuit, where Combs basically offered to continue

(11:59):
pay her rent. In so far as she said that
the freak off she participated in was consensual, we expect
that's going to fall into the prostitutor's allegation that this
was basically witness tampering.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
The defense spent a lot of time. Did they not
questioning this past witness? Did they see her as a
real threat?

Speaker 9 (12:17):
I don't think that this is the biggest threat in
their eyes. Of course, they did an aggressive cross examination
like they have for other witnesses, but you know, they
hammered a few key points and it seems relatively effective.
For example, this witness also sued Combs in twenty twenty four.
Apparently she's asking for ten million dollars, which seems like
a lot of money, especially when you consider Kassia and
Tura got twenty from Combs. And she also had some

(12:40):
inconsistencies in her story, minor inconsistencies that popped up, but
potentially enough for a Juri to look at that and
saying I'm not sure how much I trust this witness
to testify holy truthfully.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Now the prostitution. They laid out their case in the
opening statements and what they were going to prove, and
now they've been calling witness after witness after witness, and
I'm not sure they have done a great job of
doing what they said they were going to do in
the opening statements. Is that coming? Are they going to
tie everything in together into the federal charges. Do we know.

Speaker 9 (13:11):
We'll have to see I mean, really, the opportunity they
have to do this is in their closing argument. Sometimes
they put on what's called the summation witness, basically like
an FBI agent who can basically testify about some of
the evidence that came in, and it kind of provides
a second opportunity for them to tie together all this evidence.
But no, this is a meandering case by design. There's
really no way around it. The evidence of the jury
fearing at this point isn't It isn't in the correct

(13:35):
order in which it happened. It's scattered. Yes, they try
to arrange witnesses in the same categories. For example, we
heard all the kid cutting witnesses around the same time.
But if you're a juror, you don't nessarily have someone
at the end of the day telling you this is
how this fits into this, and this fits into that.
You basically have to piece together all this very different
evidence in non consequential order to some kind of logical

(13:57):
theory of a case. The day that closing statement will
see if that potentially happens next week or the week after,
will be the prosecution's attempt to weave that all together
into a into a believable conviction, ready claim that basically
this was a sprawling criminal enterprise used to coer swiming
into sex.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
When you watch Sean Diddy Combs, is he still heavily
involved in his defense and how has he been reacting
to the witnesses after witness I mean.

Speaker 9 (14:28):
He's dialed in, there's no question about that. I mean,
he doesn't have that much else to do realistically other
than be a participant in his defense team. Apparently they
request an extra time they want to be able to
speak with him from prison. Sometimes he stays late at court,
even when the court is done for the day and
testimony's done for the dame day, so he can talk
of his lawyers, and he reacts this testimony. For example,

(14:50):
you could see him throw his hands up and shook
his head when the witness yesterday testified about an encounter
in which he allegedly threw a knife at Cassie Ventura
and she threw the knife back at him. Very visceral
reaction from him at that time. He also kind of
looked incredulously when she talked about that dangling off the
balcony episode. You know, he's showing his emotions to this

(15:11):
jury and he's trying to make himself relatable. Though I
will note he's a bit more frumpled than usual. Not
sure frumpled is the right way to put it, actually,
but you know, some days he's very put together. Yesterday,
for example, his shirt was untocked, it was very wrinkly,
his hair was kind of he looked a bit unkempt overall.
I mean, at times you can really tell that this
isn't a defendant that's coming from his mansion to court.

(15:33):
He's going from one of the worst attention facilities in
the country to prison on a daily base, to the
court on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Peter harral Aambu's ABC News investigative reporter covering the Sean P.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
D D.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Combs trial. Thank you so much, Peter, talk to you
again soon.

Speaker 7 (15:49):
Thank her.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
You know what we know what keeps playing in my
mind over and over and over again is Jeffrey Lickman
consistently consistently this following this case and saying he thinks
p did he's gonna walk, that they're not going to
prove the underlying charges. And so that's why I keep

(16:11):
listening and listening and listening and listening, and as Peter
put it very well, it is a loose case. At
this point, set up a free set on the iHeartRadio
app for seven ten WR make your mornings easier. Now
back to Minty in the morning on WOR. All right,

(16:32):
let's go to Rich de Muro rich on Tech has
heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven on WOR. That's
eight to eleven at night. Rich on Tech on Instagram
is how you can reach him, and you can ask
all of your own questions there. But let's start asking
some questions now, including Hey, Rich how are you? Thanks
for joining us as.

Speaker 10 (16:49):
Always, thanks for having me Larry Happy Thursday.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Thank you very much. I needed that. Now let's talk
about this new light bulb with a build in security
camera that everybody's going so nuts about.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
What is it exactly? And how can I get one?

Speaker 10 (17:06):
Well, it's really simple. If you can screw in a
light bulb, you can add a security camera to your home.
And this is from Why's, which they're known. They came
out many years ago with a twenty dollars security camera
that people just couldn't believe was so cheap at the time,
and now, of course, over the years they've built a
pretty good name for themselves. This is their latest product

(17:27):
that looks like a light bulb. It's a smart light
bulb and it's got a little camera on the end.
So you screwed into an existing light fixture and that's it.
You don't need any batteries, no solar no plugs, no outlets,
and of course you get all the benefits of having
a security camera, like you know, recording of clips. You
can stream this on your phone. You've got local recording,

(17:48):
motion alerts. And this thing is fifty dollars.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well have you tried it yet or have you seen one?

Speaker 10 (17:55):
I've not tried it, so but I can't wait to
get my hands on it, because this is a question
I get all the time, Larry. People find these light
bulb cameras on Amazon for like thirty dollars and they
come from these no name brands, and I can't vouch
for the security of them, right, I mean, you know
it could be insecure and so wise. Even though this
company has had a few security issues in the past,

(18:18):
they have buttoned all those up and they are a
very reputable company. So I like the fact not only
are they reputable, but you can also add this to
your existing wise camera collection.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, I know that you were probably extremely excited about
the Apple Worldwide Development Conference, and so can you give
us a preview of what's going to happen there.

Speaker 10 (18:38):
Yeah, so Monday morning, I'll be up in Coopertino, California.
They have it at Apple's campus. You know, it looks
like a space ship up there, and it is incredible.
They have all their developers there. This is where they
really focus on software, so they bring in a bunch
of developers from all over the world. Typically it's a
very hot ticket to get and the executives of the

(18:59):
company sort of lay out what you're going to be
able to do with the iPhone, with the iPad, with
Apple TV, Mac computers, and they just go through all
the new features that are coming soon for consumers. Mostly
that is iOS, the next version, which is rumored to
be called iOS twenty six. But again you get to
see all the new things that are coming there, and

(19:21):
it's usually a pretty good event.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Do they usually have some things you don't know about,
some surprises?

Speaker 10 (19:29):
Well, that's always the hope. I mean with any tech conference,
you go to, there's always you know, Steve Jobs coined
the phrase you know, one more thing, So everyone since
then has been waiting, you know, at these tech conferences
for one final announcement at the end that just surprises everyone.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Now.

Speaker 10 (19:45):
A couple of years ago at Apple, it was Apple
Vision Pro, you know, their VR headset that did not
do so well but is an amazing absolutely thirty five
hundred dollars though was just too expensive for most people
to purchase. Will we see any surprises at this year's conference.
The big thing about Apple right now is they are
way behind in AI. So they either need to prove

(20:08):
that they are going to be ahead in AI very soon,
or we need a distraction, which means a shiny new gadget,
like some sort of preview of what's to come in September.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, I use AT and T and I'm excited
about this new plan because Rich you may not know it,
but I am over fifty five, so I qualify for this.
Tell us about it.

Speaker 10 (20:28):
I was gonna say, I don't know, you might not
you know, you might need to wait a few years, Larry,
but this is ATD fifty five plus plan. I'm just
flattering you I know, but this is this is forty
dollars a month for one line, thirty five dollars per
month for two lines. And this includes unlimited talk, text,
and data works in the US, Canada and Mexico. You

(20:49):
also get ten gigs of hotspot, not a ton. But
you know, here's the deal. The previous plan from AT
and T, the senior plan, was sixty two dollars and
it was only available in one state. And you know,
they're feeling the heat from all these mv and os,
these mobile virtual network operators. People are finding the mint
Mobiles of the world, the visibles of the world. They

(21:11):
only charge twenty to forty dollars a month for unlimited
Where are they switching from AT and T Verizon and
so AT and T wants to come in strong. And
I think that people will like this because it comes
with that AT and T name. They know they're getting
high quality service for just forty bucks a month.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Can't wait? And now you know, you know, I know,
you know that retail theft is a huge problem across
the country. In New York City, I mean everything now
is behind glass and you have to have somebody unlock
it for you. It's become such a big deal. But
now AI is going to be used as security.

Speaker 10 (21:46):
Oh my gosh, that is the bane of my existence.
When you go to a store, you're trying to spend
your money and everything's locked up. So it's like, well,
hold on, who is this benefiting at this point? Because
now you're just pushing me to Amazon. And so I
think that retailers are in a really tough place because
they need to protect their inventory, but they also want
people to be able to pick something off the shelf,
look at the back, and browse and compare. And so

(22:09):
of course they're going to turn to AI to try
to help them to catch thieves and to also cut
down on shoplifting. And so I profiled this new system
called Vision vie s io N and this is an
AI software tool that basically goes and connects to the
cameras that stores already have installed. And it's basically like

(22:31):
a watchdog, so it monitors the AI monitors those camera
feeds twenty four to seven, unlike any human can do,
and it's looking at the gestures that people are making.
So if it notices something that is a little fishy,
like a concealing item or you know, putting something into
your backpack, putting something into your pocket, hiding something. It

(22:54):
is going to flag that clip and send it to
staffers immediately so they can respond in real time.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Now hopefully they can start making arrest with AI too,
because that has to be the next step. Sometimes this goes,
you know, people get away with it without being arrested,
so that that should be the next step. Maybe some
AI police.

Speaker 10 (23:17):
Oh my gosh, I love the Terminator. We know how
that ends.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, that's right. Well, we know how all AI movies
and then it's not good. Yeah, I love this next story.
The best dictation app. I'm dying for this.

Speaker 10 (23:31):
Oh my, this is so fantastic. If you download one
app on your iPhone to try out, it is called
whisper Flow. If the built in dictation on your iPhone
is not cutting it for you, it doesn't for me.
This I've been using in beta for the past couple
of months. It has completely changed the way that I
do things on my iPhone because I can transcribe anything

(23:52):
from a short text to a long paragraph to an
email and it is perfect. Why we just mentioned it AI,
so it takes that's what you say, and it not
only listens and transcribes it, but it perfectly formats it
using AI to understand how you're saying it and also
the punctuation. So again it's called whisper Flow wisp r flow,

(24:15):
and they just launched this app for iOS. It's a
little quirky because I'll be honest, Larry, Apple is so
secure on the iPhone because this is using your microphone.
They want to make sure it's not doing any funny business.
So you do have to activate this little keyboard every
time you want to use it, but you do get
used to that. And I'm telling you it's so fast
and easy. I send text now and emails and everything

(24:38):
for my phone with no problem.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah we have been a minute left. What about this
new app to help you find something to watch a
movie or something to stream?

Speaker 10 (24:47):
Oh yeah, I've actually got five of them linked up
on my website. But they are fantastic. You know, it's
summer movie season. We all have these streaming services that
we subscribe to. How do you make the most of them? Well,
the best way to do it is to bookmark the
movies that you want to see and wait for them
to come to the screen streaming services that you're already
paying for. So I've got five apps kernels, show Lely,

(25:09):
Google TV, Apple TV, Real Good, just watch more than
five and letterboxed and so every one of them has
sort of a different feature that makes it work. Well,
if you want to start with just one, I would
suggest just watch download that, start to look for the
movies that you want to watch, and select your streaming
services and it puts them all on a list and

(25:31):
it says here's what's available right now. So Friday night
you can actually stream something quickly instead of you know,
bopping around between five different apps on your home screen
looking for something to stream.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Rich Demiro rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from
eight to eleven on WLR. You can reach them at
rich on Tech on Instagram. Thanks so much, Rich, talk
to you again soon. When we come back, we'll have
a recap of today's show, my final thoughts and the
talk back of the morning. As we wind up another
minute in the morning on WR, let's get some final

(26:03):
thoughts from Larry Karine. Jean Pierre, the former press secretary
for President Joe Biden, is out with a new book,
and in it she is trying to distance herself not
only from the Biden administration, but from the Democratic Party. Look,
I get it. Everybody involved in that mess of a
presidency is running for cover because there are subpoenas coming

(26:24):
both from the Justice Department and Congress investigating the cover
up of Biden's obvious mental decline. The question is who
knew what and when, and most importantly, who was running
the country. And Karin Jean Pierre, who was the bagdad
Bob of the Biden administration, is running for cover and

(26:45):
hiding while behind the cover of her book called Independent,
A Look inside a Broken White House outside the party lines.
So this paid partisan who lied to us for so
long now wants us to believe She says she's no
longer a Democrat. She is, as the book says, an independent.

(27:06):
I don't believe her because she always lies. Fool me once,
Shame on you, fool me five hundred and thirty seven times.
Shame on you too. The border is secure, we are
not in a recession. Nothing to see with Russias at
the Ukraine border. Crime is at a record low when
it was at a record high. And of course I

(27:28):
have a tough time keeping up with Joe Biden. He
is so mentally sharp and when he wanders off inexplicably.
That is just a cheap fake video. And now you
want us to believe a word you say. You want
to profit from your lies. Let me tell you how
to sell your book. Try this for once, Tell the Truth.

(27:52):
Coming up next, Mark Simone, Welcome Showbiz for one one,
dot com writer Roger Friedman and journalist Liz Peek, and
now a recap of today show. City Hall Bureau chief
at the New York Post, Craig McCarthy believes that Andrew
Cuomo maintained his front runner status after the first New
York City mayoral debate.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
The bar was set pretty low for Cuomo at this point.
I think it's safe to say that away saying he
is one of the winners here, right. I mean, he
pretty much didn't have to trip walking up to the
podium and he would have kind of come out the winners.
But you know, listen, he successfully went back and forth
with some people, countered a bunch of things. You know,
I think it was a little bit strange taking him

(28:33):
taking some shots at people.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Political commentator and former NASA County executive Laura Current agree.
She says Andrew Cuomo currently holds the strongest position still
in the mayoral race.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
It is a fact that they are all ganging up
on Cuomo. But I think what is good for Cuomo
is there are so many of them. I know they're
all kind of playing the survivor game of aligning with
a certain team. Just vote for these two people to
put me at the top. But I think they're just
gonna end up cannibalizing each other. And I think Homa

(29:05):
will be a lot of people's number two if he's
not their number ones. I think this only helps Andrew Clmo.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Actor Steve Gutenberg says he was not hard at all
playing a serial killer in a new Lifetime movie coming
out this week.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
There's occurrences in life that are difficult. Work is not difficult.
It's a great opportunity to prove yourself, to use my
skills and my craft and create an illusion that I
am a certain character, like all actors do.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yesterday, we had a talk back from a listener about
his ex wife.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Larry, Please, I need help. My ex wife may have
been kidnapped and kidnappers are asking for a mente in
the morning T shirt. Please send me one as soon
as possible.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Thank you well. He didn't get it, but he followed
up today about the.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
X Larry my ex wife nappers. So they say, are
now demanding tickets. It's unbelievable. They keep upping the ante.
What can I do? Please help me?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, we can't help you with the tickets, but we
made you talk back of the day. Hope Amenti in
the Morning t shirt helps that situation. Coming up tomorrow
and Menty in the Morning, We've got a great show

while also here from Grammy winning composer and performer David Foster,
