00:01:00.080 It's the Anthony Cumia Show. Entertaining and informative. On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:08.240 Anthony Cumia here. I am in for the vacationing, Bill O'Reilly? Or is it Bill O'Reilly is on

00:01:14.960 assignment? I'm Anthony Cumia. For common sense, which is pretty funny when you think about it,

00:01:21.280 putting a former shock jock in Bill O'Reilly's pretty news-heavy slot

00:01:27.220 and then calling it common sense.

00:01:29.780 Hmm.

00:01:30.580 But I am pleased as punch, as they say, to be here

00:01:34.500 and honored to be filling the seat for this week

00:01:39.120 for the great Mr. Bill O'Reilly on common sense.

00:01:44.200 I want to start off with some people that do not have much common sense.

00:01:52.040 We all know them.

00:01:53.020 We've seen them over the course of the years.

00:01:54.980 And common sense is really the last word or phrase that would come to mind when thinking of these people.

00:02:03.680 I'm talking about Hollywood celebrities.

00:02:07.160 oh yes we all remember the hollywood celebrity from days of old don't we when they were

00:02:16.480 amazing they were almost superhero like we watched them in movies on television

00:02:25.380 on the various uh well not even various talk shows what was there johnny carson the tonight

00:02:31.500 show your favorite celebrity would come on and sit down with johnny and they'd banter back and

00:02:37.940 forth and you know what they talked about where they were opening in vegas what movie was coming

00:02:44.020 out and then they talk about going uh they might have a humorous anecdote about uh hooking up with

00:02:51.620 another celebrity at a restaurant and you'd hear him talk to johnny and they'd use names we weren't

00:02:58.320 familiar with with these uh celebrities oh yeah i went to a dinner with chuck heston the other

00:03:05.340 night i'm like charlton charlton heston oh yeah yeah bob mitchum me and bob mitchum and it was

00:03:15.520 amazing you watched this and and it was another world of people that you know maybe maybe i had

00:03:24.740 a bit of an inferiority complex,

00:03:26.480 but I think a lot of people felt

00:03:28.300 they were just a little better than you.

00:03:31.680 They were doing something amazing,

00:03:34.000 something you would love to do,

00:03:35.500 something people aspire to, fame, fortune.

00:03:40.360 If you're a guy, you're an actor,

00:03:43.500 you're dating the most beautiful women in the world,

00:03:47.760 and everyone wanted to know about it,

00:03:51.320 those days are gone.

00:03:54.740 no one no one cares about what these people are doing anymore and even worse we can't stand them

00:04:04.000 it's not even apathy we we look at these celebrities people to be celebrated and we

00:04:14.220 cannot stand them and and you know growing up i remember even i don't know how long ago the

00:04:21.500 the uh mystique wore off um i know i don't know exactly when chronologically it happened but i

00:04:30.940 could tell you or that it happened when they started opening their yaps about politics

00:04:38.020 and started uh believing that they should be telling americans how they should live their

00:04:48.220 lives that was absolutely when it all started going down the uh proverbial crapper as they call

00:04:58.340 it and uh it just hasn't stopped the the tarnish on tinseltown uh has only gotten worse uh they

00:05:09.560 know it they know it i think uh previously i think there were ebbs and flows with hollywood

00:05:16.260 as far as how the general public thought about them,

00:05:19.620 usually when some critical things would happen, wars.

00:05:23.880 You remember Katrina?

00:05:25.640 Some celebrities came out and started talking about how

00:05:28.500 the government was not treating the victims of Katrina properly.

00:05:32.300 But they really were able to kind of regain their stature

00:05:37.380 as these amazing, wonderful people.

00:05:41.080 and nowadays we we we despise them for the most part there's a few good ones but uh for the most

00:05:51.560 part we cannot stand these people and um it shows because people just aren't going to movies anymore

00:05:59.740 based on a a star's name uh you have your anomalies i think tom cruise does very well

00:06:07.180 These Mission Impossible movies he's putting out do very, very well.

00:06:11.740 And I don't think anyone really doesn't like a guy like Tom Cruise.

00:06:15.800 And I'll tell you why. 0.89

00:06:16.940 Because he's a weirdo. 0.87

00:06:19.060 He's just a weird guy.

00:06:20.940 He could tell you how you should live your life and you would just go,

00:06:25.160 eh, aren't you a Scientologist? 0.98

00:06:28.340 You're just a weird dude.

00:06:29.680 But he makes great movies.

00:06:30.880 and uh i don't really hear him a lot voicing his opinions on on politics and telling people how

00:06:39.740 they should or shouldn't live their lives but you get some of these celebrities and uh they're the

00:06:47.680 most uh elitist uh pompous people and again just remembering when they would just be funny on on a

00:06:59.640 talk show or make a good movie and you didn't even know their political affiliation um but now

00:07:08.100 especially with with trump in office and uh yeah they're they're all bleeding heart liberal well

00:07:18.020 not even bleeding heart that was a thing back in the 60s when you really did care about somebody

00:07:22.700 They called them bleeding heart liberals.

00:07:24.980 Now those liberals wouldn't even recognize what is considered a liberal now.

00:07:31.480 They are, they're off the chain.

00:07:34.400 They're off the rails. 1.00

00:07:36.020 They're mental patients and extremists, liars, propaganda tools for the left. 1.00

00:07:44.460 Hollywood has always, always been that. 1.00

00:07:48.220 But these days, not even a hint of shame and blatantly lying.

00:07:57.560 I don't know.

00:07:58.500 Years ago, did they really mean what they said?

00:08:00.880 I got to think some of them did, talking about things like the Vietnam War and no nukes, man.

00:08:08.460 But for the most part, you felt they were at least a little passionate about what they talked about.

00:08:14.320 Now it's just lies.

00:08:17.500 And when they talk about it, they have nothing that backs up these lies because, you know, they can't find any facts.

00:08:25.080 And this thing of fear that has come out, they're afraid now.

00:08:29.340 They go out in public and they talk about how fearful they are about what Donald Trump is doing and how detrimental it's going to be to everybody in this country.

00:08:39.160 Now, Trump's been in office 125, 130, whatever, a little over 100 days.

00:08:47.500 uh and you know the world isn't exploding yet i get it a little trouble in russia and ukraine but

00:08:55.360 that's been going on a few years but uh you know prices are down they don't want to talk about that

00:09:00.940 i was passing by some gas stations very promising uh the price of groceries are down inflation is

00:09:08.720 down all the things that we hoped would happen under a trump administration and then they just

00:09:14.560 come out and lie about it and then you got the the big big beautiful bill it's a big beautiful bill

00:09:22.680 and uh they're freaking out about it and lying about it that it contains things that are going

00:09:28.740 to and here's what they do they go to the umpteenth level literally kill people this bill will kill

00:09:37.100 people all right how they never explain how and they never have proof that any of the legislation

00:09:46.100 in these bills like the big beautiful bill uh is going to affect people they just lie about it we've 0.89

00:09:53.460 seen you know we've seen them talk about medicaid and it's pathetic you know what the trump

00:09:59.760 administration is doing and i think normal people with common sense as the show's title goes

00:10:06.380 knows that any cuts that have been spoken of by the Trump administration

00:10:14.080 and by Doge with Elon has been waste, corruption.

00:10:20.160 And the amount of it is stunning.

00:10:23.840 But they want to make you believe that if they say we're making cuts to Medicaid

00:10:30.000 or the Veterans Administration, they want to come out and say,

00:10:36.240 oh, they're cutting Medicaid. 1.00

00:10:37.820 Grandma isn't going to be able to go to the doctor. 1.00

00:10:41.580 She's not going to be able to get her medicine.

00:10:43.520 She's not going to be able to chit-chat with a pharmacist at CVS in front of you 0.52

00:10:47.040 for 20 minutes while you're waiting to buy aspirin.

00:10:51.660 But that's what's going on.

00:10:53.000 They blatantly lie about it.

00:10:55.720 And they always, like I just said,

00:10:58.040 they always blow it up to the umpteenth level where it's dangerous.

00:11:02.840 And I find that pretty funny.

00:11:05.140 the celebrities like I said

00:11:07.620 they're just propaganda tools

00:11:09.320 little puppets for the left

00:11:10.500 and here's a couple of them 1.00

00:11:12.720 here's Kira Sedgwick 0.80

00:11:14.740 this is Kevin Bacon's wife

00:11:17.520 you can tell right away

00:11:19.220 that

00:11:20.020 she's a real piece of work

00:11:24.060 because she didn't call herself 1.00

00:11:25.500 Kendra Bacon

00:11:26.300 or Kira Bacon

00:11:29.540 Kira Sedgwick Bacon

00:11:30.820 I'm not taking your name

00:11:32.760 I think Kevin Bacon's a little more popular 1.00

00:11:35.080 than you would probably help you in the long run but probably one of these you know feminists and 1.00

00:11:39.640 doesn't want to take her husband's name and guys in hollywood all just beta i don't care what kind

00:11:45.140 of characters they play on the screen big tough guy and uh they're all just like yes dear i'm so 0.96

00:11:53.840 sorry poopsie yes kira you don't have to take my name that's okay so uh they're all pathetic 0.70

00:12:01.820 so here's kira sedgwick saying she's scared of things like losing her right to vote this is so 0.99

00:12:13.540 out of out of proportion to what could possibly happen but uh listen to this idiot straight out 0.98

00:12:21.940 hollywood kira sedgwick hey doing i felt like it was important to get on the blower 0.99

00:12:29.760 and talk a little bit about how I'm feeling

00:12:33.760 and wondering how you're feeling about the state of our union.

00:12:38.200 I'm finding myself pretty scared about a lot of things.

00:12:42.860 Scared about losing my rights as a woman.

00:12:45.360 Scared about losing my right to vote as a woman.

00:12:48.400 Scared about losing autonomy over my body as a woman.

00:12:52.400 Scared of my parents' social security checks.

00:12:55.680 scared of food banks running out of food and not being able to replenish because they're no longer

00:13:02.820 getting federal funding yes the federal government can use improvement and there's a lot of things

00:13:09.960 that they've done right over the decades so I think the answer to being freaked out for me is

00:13:17.040 about community and I feel excited that that we're coming together as a nation on Saturday you can 0.90

00:13:24.080 look it up in your area it's hands off oh shut up and i don't want to give a plug you could you

00:13:29.940 could shut her down now i think it happened already but it doesn't matter uh yeah that's

00:13:35.000 kira sedgwick and uh i love how they talk about community and then they talk about uh the food

00:13:41.160 banks i don't know about the food banks uh that are going to shut down because the government

00:13:46.480 assistance has been cut off which by the way isn't true either but let's say it was

00:13:52.520 community is supposed to take care of that kind of stuff and i believe that churches and and uh

00:14:04.400 community organizers that gather food uh from private people and organizations and businesses

00:14:10.780 around the area do way more to feed uh homeless people and and people that go hungry than the

00:14:18.600 government does and i think it's a lot more on the up and up anytime the government gets involved

00:14:25.820 with handing money down and it's got to go through some corrupt chain of command by the time it gets

00:14:32.060 down to a can of soup getting to a hungry family it's already been pilfered 50 times over because

00:14:40.840 anything the government does is just rife with corruption and people that want to line their

00:14:47.120 pockets so the community kira is supposed to take care of stuff like that and you don't depend on

00:14:55.700 the government you want to be this socialist type utopian uh community then take care of each other

00:15:03.920 you got some bucks i'm sure kevin bacon put away some of that footloose money

00:15:10.440 and uh yeah go out and take care of it get some of your hollywood friends 0.60

00:15:16.320 out there to take care of it instead of bitching about the fact that the government

00:15:22.380 is cutting programs which they're not they're cutting the unbelievable waste and corruption

00:15:28.500 that's going on in uh in this country uh but it doesn't suit their their political agenda

00:15:36.500 to put it that way and it makes them look bad if anyone's starving within a you know a couple

00:15:43.920 mile radius of kira sedgwick that seems to me it's kira sedgwick's uh problem maybe kira sedgwick 1.00

00:15:52.300 and company should do a little more for the the hungry people within a blast radius of of her 1.00

00:15:59.240 residence step outside your gated house go to some of these impoverished areas and hand some

00:16:07.800 stuff out i've seen it happen where they want to they want to make it look like they're doing

00:16:13.160 something they go to soup kitchens on thanksgiving and the news comes down look at kira sedgwick 1.00

00:16:19.420 she's ladling out some slop for this disgusting human isn't she special that's that's what goes 1.00

00:16:27.480 on because it's it's a photo op how about you don't tell anybody and you get in contact with 0.95

00:16:35.700 a church or a community group in your area and you go down there and just put in put in a couple

00:16:44.860 of days in between auditions that you're not going to get because how many grandmas need to

00:16:51.300 be cast in movies these days all right that was a little below the belt but uh yeah they all want

00:16:59.260 just bitch about the government and trump and who they got to do this they're kind of i'm scared

00:17:06.300 she's talking about being scared of losing a right to vote when when have we at any time 0.98

00:17:14.620 really and i'm not talking about they're just ripping up the constitution when does that happen

00:17:20.280 we're real constitutional rights not what people think is a right and is only a privilege

00:17:27.260 or things like abortion, which isn't a constitutional right.

00:17:31.800 But when has a constitutional right just been snatched from you on, you know, en masse?

00:17:38.740 I've seen it happen, believe me.

00:17:41.020 You know, we just heard from Roger Stone previously before this show,

00:17:47.800 and that guy's rights were.

00:17:49.500 His constitutional rights were infringed upon. 1.00

00:17:52.540 But en masse, where they just go, hey, every woman, you can now not vote. 1.00

00:17:57.120 it just ain't happening stop with the the fear they're fear-mongering the right to our bodies 0.92

00:18:04.660 the right for uh health care reproductive health do you know why they have to call it reproductive

00:18:11.660 health because abortion repulses everybody anyone with the with common sense uh should be repulsed

00:18:21.000 the word whether you you think abortion should be legal or not abortion should be repulsive to you

00:18:27.840 but they say reproductive rights because they want you to think it's more than abortion

00:18:33.620 and it's not but those are the rights that kira sedgwick is talking about they're not

00:18:39.440 genuine rights and no one's trying to take away your actual rights that every american

00:18:44.880 is given by God on the day they're born.

00:18:50.900 So, you know, this, like I said, it's Hollywood.

00:18:55.360 They're propaganda tools for the left.

00:18:57.860 They have no common sense. 0.99

00:18:59.920 And we'll focus on another one of these beauts 1.00

00:19:03.200 when we come back from this short break.

00:19:05.820 It's Anthony Cumia sitting in for the amazing Bill O'Reilly.

00:19:10.700 This is Common Sense.

00:19:12.680 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:19:14.880 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:19:20.340 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:19:22.500 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:19:26.760 Yes, Anthony Cumia sitting in for Bill O'Reilly.

00:19:29.700 Common sense.

00:19:30.560 Bill is, he's in China,

00:19:32.860 which is, I just find it so funny

00:19:35.160 because I just picture him

00:19:36.060 just stepping over the Great Wall.

00:19:39.000 He's a giant man. 1.00

00:19:40.060 Chinese people traditionally are kind of small, 1.00

00:19:42.560 so he's definitely sticking out.

00:19:44.880 I bet a lot of people are taking pictures of him over there.

00:19:48.100 But I love Bill, and this is his show, Common Sense, and I am sitting in.

00:19:52.360 As a matter of fact, if you're by a phone and you want to comment on anything,

00:19:56.040 I'm willing to take some calls.

00:19:57.880 800-848-9222.

00:20:00.940 800-848-9222.

00:20:03.420 I want to continue a little bit with Hollywood because the glitter has washed away.

00:20:11.920 there was this perception that oh they were just the most amazing people we used to love it you

00:20:18.720 watch those old newsreels all right i've been around a while yeah i i watch them on youtube

00:20:24.720 i never saw them originally okay um and you know it was just an amazing thing here comes

00:20:31.940 carrie grant walking down the red carpet to his new feature film here at groman's chinese theater

00:20:38.440 and you're like that's fantastic it's Cary Grant I don't remember Cary Grant or you know what

00:20:45.660 another thing I often ponder about old Hollywood you couldn't just say your movie sucked hey Cary 0.98

00:20:52.720 Grant on on social media your movie sucked you still you lost it you're not even good at me 0.99

00:21:00.920 You're a has-been. 0.99

00:21:02.920 The work it must have taken to lay into Cary Grant 0.99

00:21:07.800 and tell him he stunk back then.

00:21:10.980 How do you get the address?

00:21:12.980 Cary Grant, care of MGM Studios.

00:21:17.340 And then you had to write a letter and put a stamp on it and mail it

00:21:20.340 and then hope Cary Grant opened it.

00:21:22.840 Ah, what does this person have to say about me? 1.00

00:21:25.140 Why, I suck. 0.99

00:21:27.560 It's just one of those things that nowadays any piece of garbage can just lambast an actor or a musician. 1.00

00:21:38.380 Maybe they deserve it now. 0.99

00:21:39.720 Maybe it's good. 0.95

00:21:40.420 They decided to open their mouths, and the American people have decided to trash them. 1.00

00:21:47.520 So this celebrity, she moved. 0.51

00:21:52.840 She left. 1.00

00:21:53.400 She put her money, as they say, her money where her big food-eating maw is. 1.00

00:22:03.660 Rosie O'Donnell, of course.

00:22:05.980 Rosie O'Donnell. 1.00

00:22:08.200 This woman had some career. 1.00

00:22:11.140 She went from a mediocre lesbian comic. 1.00

00:22:15.960 She did a few movies. 0.61

00:22:17.480 Then she got that talk show that was all the rage.

00:22:20.320 they actually called her like miss nice because all the talk shows back then were um like just

00:22:29.140 nasty you know they'd bring someone out and they'd fight and uh it was all about vengeance and and

00:22:37.700 hitting your family members and then rosie comes out and everyone's like oh this is so sweet

00:22:43.140 she's so nice well just like ellen degeneres who also left the country uh she was uh 1.00

00:22:50.060 Nasty, just nasty to everybody. 1.00

00:22:53.240 A mean, mean, evil person like Ellen. 1.00

00:22:58.540 So when Trump got elected, Rosie decided to actually leave the country. 0.96

00:23:04.040 She went to Ireland.

00:23:05.680 So that's their problem. 0.98

00:23:08.680 That's, God, Rosie O'Donnell. 0.99

00:23:11.700 I apologize constantly to the Emerald Isle over there in the U.K. about Rosie.

00:23:21.180 I think Rosie might be the second worst thing we've ever dropped on a country, on a foreign nation.

00:23:31.460 So she's over there, but she'll still bash America, just like Bruce.

00:23:38.360 Bruce Springsteen you know it used to really be against the unwritten rules that if you're an

00:23:45.800 American and you go overseas especially if you're a person of note a celebrity or a politician

00:23:51.580 you didn't talk ill of America regardless of your ideology you didn't go to a foreign country and

00:24:01.320 start bashing the united states of america and uh now of course any decorum has just been

00:24:11.000 thrown out the window uh as far as these unwritten rules that we used to have uh seeing people drop

00:24:20.380 f-bombs in in the house chamber and in the hallways of the capital and they talk to these

00:24:27.640 politicians and they think it it uh it gives them this commonality to blue collar workers

00:24:35.300 look at me i'm pete booted judge and i'm dropping some f-bombs no it comes off as classless

00:24:43.740 and uh and and we we want a little decorum you know we want we want uh uh our leaders to act

00:24:53.200 respectful and then you'll i know people turn around and say well what about trump

00:24:57.820 trump would do these rallies or he gets up there and says something's bs well it at least has to

00:25:04.360 be part of your personality if you're gonna do it look donald trump i remember trump from the uh

00:25:11.000 70s and 80s the developer trump the the land developer and builder this is a guy

00:25:19.260 who's building skyscrapers in Manhattan in the 80s.

00:25:23.840 He had to sit down with the actual representatives

00:25:28.600 of the five families to get a teaspoon of cement

00:25:32.200 to move in New York City back then.

00:25:36.380 So when he uses some language like that,

00:25:40.180 he always has.

00:25:41.980 And it comes off as very natural and who he is.

00:25:44.620 when you see uh like swalwell cursing now all of a sudden it's because they think well trump

00:25:55.520 curses so we'll do it and it'll make us uh it'll endear us with the blue-collar workers no 0.98

00:26:01.220 it makes you look stupid it's like uh you know you see someone the barboro man looking cool 1.00

00:26:09.400 smoking a cigarette so you grab one at 13 and think you look cool no you don't you look like 1.00

00:26:14.880 an idiot just like swalwell does when he's uh cursing or jasmine crockett anyway where was i 0.99

00:26:24.440 oh rosie o'donnell yeah so uh she like keira sedgwick is also very i'm very frightened very 0.99

00:26:34.160 scared my rights are being taken away along with my shoes and my glasses uh she she doesn't

00:26:41.600 understand you're out of the country first of all what do you care you're you're you're 0.70

00:26:48.220 ireland's problem now but uh here she is voicing her fears she looks terrible she's uh rosie

00:26:55.560 ozempic now that's her name she's got that ozempic look all drawn and gaunt because uh they lost

00:27:03.820 weight with uh some kind of magic elixir and uh it just makes people look terrible but uh rosie

00:27:14.160 ozampik here she is scared of the big beautiful bill go ahead so many marginalized people in our

00:27:22.680 nation millions of people are going to go hungry millions of people are going to die early for not

00:27:50.940 do you have a grandmother do you know what this is going to do to all the elderly in this country

00:27:56.280 do you have any understanding of what's at stake like you know this is the most blatantly corrupt

00:28:05.060 thing that mango mussolini has ever come up with honestly very infuriating very infuriating

00:28:16.880 she sounds like the definition of depression look up depression and then shut your eyes you'll hear

00:28:25.360 rosie's voice i don't know what about your grandparents what about them all the elderly

00:28:34.020 are gonna die what again just this over the top hyperbole nonsense uh and it it just eats at these

00:28:46.380 people it gets inside them and eats at them and someone like rosie because i i absolutely believe

00:28:55.560 in my professional opinion as a doctor of psychology i scrolled a few times about

00:29:03.220 psychology on my phone so that in 2025 makes me a doctor of psychology uh i think she is 1.00

00:29:11.120 certifiably insane i think she's nuts uh i would use the bat s crazy thing uh on any other program 1.00

00:29:21.480 but one regulated by the fcc but uh yeah bat s crazy and uh where does she get this from 0.96

00:29:30.940 her and kira cedric give me one example one of your elderly relatives a friend you know anyone 0.94

00:29:40.700 please tell me when they go out to their mailbox they take their walker they got the little

00:29:49.540 tennis balls on the front of their walker and they make that long trek from the front door to

00:29:55.760 the mailbox hoping a grandchild has written them a letter like it's 1960 or they uh they unfold

00:30:05.960 their hurricane the good one with the headlight on it and they they make that treacherous journey

00:30:12.400 to the mailbox and and they go oh where's my social security check when that happens please 0.99

00:30:24.700 kira rosie all these other imbeciles uh let me know inform me send a news crew to their house 0.97

00:30:35.940 and go i couldn't find my my social security check because odds are uh some uh diversity may 0.99

00:30:46.180 have come by and taken your check but the uh i don't think it's uh trump stealing your social

00:30:53.540 security check same thing with medicaid same thing with va benefits the veterans administration

00:30:59.540 needs cuts there are 10 people doing the job of every uh one person could do

00:31:06.240 they they they are a bloated bureaucratic disaster the va and it's been terrible for

00:31:15.700 veterans that need help and need uh medical care uh because there's so many redundancies in there

00:31:25.480 and so much red tape because everyone's got to justify their job.

00:31:30.100 So instead of a veteran needing something and going through one person

00:31:34.700 that makes a decision, they go, oh, well, we've got to run this

00:31:39.900 through 10 offices on this floor and then another 10 downstairs.

00:31:47.060 And, you know, people die in the interim.

00:31:51.020 And those are cuts that need to be made for the better of everyone.

00:31:55.480 American taxpayers, the veterans, and that's what they're doing.

00:32:01.140 But my God, what an awful campaign ad that would make.

00:32:06.420 Hey, wow, Trump is really cutting the corruption and waste in our government,

00:32:11.860 and it's helping people on Medicaid and VA.

00:32:18.460 I don't think they want to do that.

00:32:20.240 So they have to frame it as if it's this terrible thing

00:32:22.980 and he's taking checks away from the elderly.

00:32:25.440 He's leaving our brave veterans to writhe in pain in their beds.

00:32:33.000 And children are starving.

00:32:37.340 I mean, he's cut prescription drug prices up to 80%.

00:32:44.200 Every politician knew this was a way to screw America. 0.85

00:32:50.760 People go down to Mexico.

00:32:52.040 They go to Tijuana, if you're in California, and you buy prescription drugs because they're cheaper.

00:32:57.340 And no one ever said, why?

00:32:59.500 Why are they cheaper?

00:33:01.100 Not on the black market.

00:33:02.600 You're not buying it from a cartel.

00:33:05.600 What do you need, Panicillin?

00:33:07.640 You're buying it from a pharmacy in Mexico or any other nation or city overseas.

00:33:15.880 why in america do we pay thousands of dollars for a prescription that you get overseas for uh ten

00:33:24.200 dollars well because everyone looks at america like the world's atm and that we could be the

00:33:31.700 ones to screw over and no one's ever argued and then you get donald trump and elon and company

00:33:37.980 and they go yeah let's do something about this and what are the democrats do crap all over it 0.92

00:33:45.340 Why?

00:33:46.040 Because they want to win elections. 0.99

00:33:48.160 That's all it is.

00:33:49.600 They can't say it's a good idea,

00:33:51.500 but you people should have some common sense

00:33:54.200 and realize that this is a good thing.

00:33:58.000 Don't listen to Hollywood,

00:33:59.520 people like Rosie and Kira Sedgwick.

00:34:01.920 All right, we'll take a quick break.

00:34:03.540 Anthony Cumia sitting in for Bill O'Reilly

00:34:05.180 on Common Sense.

00:34:06.380 We'll be back in moments.

00:34:08.300 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:34:10.380 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:34:14.760 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

00:34:21.900 It takes you to front row views, voices lost in the music, and new shared memories.

00:34:28.880 And when the last song fades,

00:34:31.080 Welcome aboard, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:34:32.880 The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right notes.

00:34:40.460 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:34:44.760 it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

00:34:52.700 bill o'reilly is on assignment this is anthony cumia this is common sense that's sort of a um

00:35:01.540 uh yeah that's not quite this is anthony cumia this is common sense

00:35:06.340 not many people that know me would say that let's go to the phones chris from beth page long island

00:35:12.380 Chris, what's up?

00:35:15.500 I'm actually from Brooklyn, not that page, but.

00:35:18.540 Oh, okay.

00:35:19.340 Well, that does it.

00:35:20.420 That's fine, too.

00:35:22.440 Well, if I may be so bold, you may not be a doctor of psychology, but as a long-time WNEW listener,

00:35:30.560 former compound media subscriber, and a current compound censored subscriber,

00:35:35.940 you were referred to as Professor Anthony, so I guess that's good enough.

00:35:40.480 Yes, I profess to know a little bit about a lot of things, which I think is better than knowing a lot about a little bit of things.

00:35:51.300 Anyway, what's up, Chris?

00:35:53.180 Well, I encourage all the listeners to go to a sensor dot TV.

00:35:57.820 You don't have to plug. That's good. You want to talk about Kira Sedgwick?

00:36:02.700 I say there's no way. First of all, I didn't know Kira Sedgwick was still alive.

00:36:06.960 and I don't think most other people did either. 0.95

00:36:09.200 There's no way she cares about anybody going to food banks. 1.00

00:36:12.660 There's no way to get Rosie irrelevant, 1.00

00:36:15.680 as you funnily called Rosie Ozempic,

00:36:17.980 who cares about anybody's grandmother.

00:36:20.220 They don't care. 0.99

00:36:21.280 It's a way for them to get publicity. 0.59

00:36:23.940 That's all they want to do.

00:36:25.180 If they wanted to be left alone,

00:36:26.880 all these Hollywood people,

00:36:27.780 leave me alone, I want my privacy.

00:36:29.840 And then they all have 18 social media accounts

00:36:32.620 that they go on on a daily basis

00:36:34.700 and try to get some hot-button issue that gets them a little heat. 0.99

00:36:39.200 They're liars. 0.99

00:36:41.540 Exactly. 1.00

00:36:42.240 They don't want to be left alone.

00:36:43.640 They want to resurrect their dying careers and pretend they care about everybody,

00:36:47.380 which is why no one cares about Hollywood, as you so appropriately started the show.

00:36:52.120 Thank you, Chris.

00:36:53.240 I do appreciate the call.

00:36:55.340 Yeah, Hollywood, no one cares about it.

00:36:57.240 You know, the American Music Awards were last night or the night before.

00:37:02.740 See, I don't even know when it was, but no one cares about award shows anymore.

00:37:10.340 No one cares.

00:37:11.220 We used to all gather around the old TV, the old Zenith and the big wood sarcophagus casket console and watch award shows.

00:37:26.320 And you'd know the categories and the people.

00:37:28.620 And, oh, TV Guide used to have a checklist.

00:37:32.740 when the Oscars would come up.

00:37:34.580 Oh, so you could check off who you thought

00:37:37.100 and show your family.

00:37:37.880 Oh, see, I got three right.

00:37:39.960 We cared about these things.

00:37:42.400 Now, no one even knows these award shows are on.

00:37:46.120 They've gone the way of the circus

00:37:49.000 and like SeaWorld and variety shows.

00:37:54.160 Remember variety shows?

00:37:55.360 They just put someone,

00:37:57.600 here comes the Danny Thomas show.

00:38:00.960 tonight charo is on what they put sports people with singers with actors and it was you know for

00:38:09.480 some reason in the 70s people watched this and it just became something that fell into the

00:38:15.600 proverbial tar pit of of entertainment and rightly so and the circus i mean

00:38:23.520 i'm not a liberal i think i don't even have to say this but the the harm uh that was bestowed

00:38:33.440 upon innocent creatures of the world under this umbrella of entertainment that was the circus

00:38:41.440 was dreadful and and when people finally became aware of this uh the circus went away

00:38:50.320 it's archaic ancient entertainment that no longer has a place and award shows are the same where we

00:38:57.320 look at celebrities and go i don't even like these people why do i want to watch them pal around

00:39:03.140 and give each other these little statues uh while while they tell uh uh the industry how great

00:39:11.820 they are it's ridiculous and i think again like every other one of these ancient rituals

00:39:20.120 rules people don't care and by the way uh the ama is the only thing i know about this 0.81

00:39:26.040 is that beyonce was uh named like best country music artist she's the best country artist

00:39:34.960 beyonce that's all you need to know uh about award shows and uh if you ever want to tune

00:39:44.280 into another one again but the ratings are just dying with uh with these things let's see uh we

00:39:51.940 could take another call one more we'll go to stew in brooklyn stew what's up my friend

00:39:57.600 anthony uh i listened to you touting the benefits of the lower cost of the meds from overseas

00:40:05.820 sure let me tell you something that actually happened fairly recently i'm a vet i was getting

00:40:12.260 eye drops i looked at who was making the eye drops the distributor happened to be the same one

00:40:19.340 that they had a recall on whose eye drops which were made in india were responsible for killing

00:40:26.860 three people and blinding 20 okay i'm being curious i went into the weeds and looked at the

00:40:33.320 company in india if you're not buying a product that's made and distributed in india there is

00:40:41.820 absolutely no fda equivalent oh i i wouldn't doubt it usually was it was using filthy almost 0.83

00:40:50.620 sewage water yes typical of the third world something else i will tell you when i was

00:40:58.180 working as a maritime counterterrorism specialist and they wanted to know about all the technology

00:41:04.420 i laughed at them they said what's so funny so you can have the most advanced technology of the

00:41:11.160 world you're in the third world a few dead presidents will get you past all your technology

00:41:17.720 right it's totally corrupt there's no oversight on i think the actual figure of what the fda does

00:41:27.280 look at of all these drugs and products made overseas three percent so the next time you see

00:41:34.320 something distributed if it's made overseas you know you're basically playing russian roulette

00:41:41.480 with your body interesting why you're paying more for american drugs i get it i get it still

00:41:48.080 interesting take i guess you have to obviously if you're going to look elsewhere than the united

00:41:53.100 states to buying prescription drugs you do have to weigh the the risk with the reward and look

00:42:00.180 and you know something could be dirt cheap but like you said if it looks like uh anything like

00:42:05.140 the food that they make on the streets in india uh you don't want to put anything like that in

00:42:10.660 your body but um there i believe they're talking about american drug companies that distribute

00:42:16.660 drugs to foreign nations and the price is a lot lower than it is here in america and uh in that

00:42:22.820 circumstance i i think we could absolutely do better here in uh in this country but thank you

00:42:28.200 to and uh we're going to take a quick break we'll be back to wrap up with common sense

00:42:33.960 anthony cumia sitting in for bill o'reilly back in a minute it's the anthony cumia show

00:42:39.400 on the red apple podcast network

00:42:41.860 a safer ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen it means

00:42:50.340 building new jails to keep criminals behind bars and it means there's no need to worry when i play

00:42:55.920 at the park we're making every corner of ontario safer to make all of ontario safer that's how we

00:43:02.420 protect ontario for all of us learn how at ontario.ca safer ontario paid for by the government

00:43:09.620 of ontario it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

00:43:22.060 Anthony Cumia in for Bill O'Reilly.

00:43:52.060 Spend millions of dollars, I believe it's $20 million, to figure out how to speak to American men.

00:44:03.120 I could save you a little money and let you know that what you've been doing isn't the way to do it.

00:44:10.820 That's for sure. Calling your basic straight American man the worst thing that has ever inhabited the planet.

00:44:24.960 That might have caused a bit of a rift between the Democrats and American men. 0.56

00:44:32.000 real men parading out the most milquetoast beta wimpy uh pseudo men uh and and and having them

00:44:46.640 represent the democrats as the male demographic yeah that didn't help either uh you've villainized

00:44:56.060 men you've told young men uh that they are the the problem uh every problem that is being faced

00:45:06.840 by the world these days is because of men so these guys growing up look at that and they listen to it 0.87

00:45:16.280 and they say uh how about you go screw how about i don't want to listen to you

00:45:22.520 why would i vote for you why would i listen to to your platform when you've put the blame 0.88

00:45:30.480 for every ill in this country on me and now they realize it and they've seen you know they see

00:45:39.580 trump he's uh definitely has a rapport with the american men and uh the podcasts joe rogan

00:45:49.800 Theo Vaughn, all these podcasts that they were complaining that Trump and Elon were going on and doing very well and getting accolades from men.

00:46:04.080 And they're like, wow, what is how do we do that?

00:46:08.040 It's always how do we do that?

00:46:09.940 And then it's this parody version, this cartoon version of what the right, Republicans, conservatives, Trump, what they do naturally, what we do on a daily basis, how we talk to our friends, how we don't get offended by every little joke that's made because we're men. 0.98

00:46:32.820 It's called busting balls. 0.97

00:46:34.640 That's what they call it. 0.98

00:46:36.060 And friends do it all the time and they don't get offended.

00:46:39.280 that's what it is to be a man in this country and the thought that the democrats think they could

00:46:47.020 put 20 million dollars on the table and and get some kind of answer as to how they should talk 1.00

00:46:56.020 to men is again a parody it's a joke it's a goof they're idiots um ladies and gentlemen thank you 0.99
