00:01:05.760 Bill O'Reilly is on assignment.

00:01:07.900 This is Anthony Cumia and this is

00:01:09.840 Common Sense.

00:01:11.940 Believe it or not.

00:01:13.400 Welcome back. Having quite

00:01:15.900 the time here. Sitting in

00:01:17.920 for the great Bill O'Reilly

00:01:19.240 and his program Common Sense

00:01:21.740 as he

00:01:23.680 uh winged off wonged off winged it off to china and uh i can't wait to see what he did over there

00:01:32.320 big giant bill o'reilly in a country of tiny tiny little people so i'm excited about that

00:01:39.900 uh but here we are yes and i was just listening to the news prior to me popping on here

00:01:47.600 and uh it got me thinking this new covid strain huh huh you scared y'all scared of it

00:01:57.100 new covid strain they're i guess they're trying this old gag again uh they put a different word

00:02:05.960 in front of it maybe some more numbers this is covid uh c23s5 no c23s5 whatever shall we do

00:02:17.580 uh truth be told it's just another flu if even that i honestly and i believe many people listening

00:02:27.440 don't believe anything they say anymore not a peep of what they say do i believe anymore and uh

00:02:35.120 whenever they come up with a new covid strain of course it's in china again so they say and

00:02:43.240 they've checked with um airport statistics so i guess they look at people coming in and they say

00:02:48.780 hey you look sick have you been to china and then uh someone says yes and they go you're here in the

00:02:54.860 u.s well i guess now we have to put the word out that everybody in the u.s is now vulnerable to

00:03:00.720 get this unbelievable deadly illness of covid oh you eight one two or is it co covid six seven

00:03:10.700 five three oh nine whatever number or letter they want to put after it uh they want you scared

00:03:17.320 and here's what i here's what uh the bulk of what i was just thinking about when when i heard this

00:03:24.580 on the news moments ago we i believe anyway that that first covid uh that we saw back in 2020

00:03:33.440 was a test i think we all know that i think we all do there was uh the government really

00:03:41.760 wanted to see how we'd react to a supposed emergency and if we would be willing to throw

00:03:51.680 away many of our rights because of some catastrophe that the government tells you was was going on

00:04:00.360 i think a big part of it also was that they needed to uh throw throw some some ropes at

00:04:07.520 donald trump's legs and trip him up at the tail end of his uh his presidency in order to uh win

00:04:15.620 an election or at least fake one but all conspiracies aside uh they were trying their

00:04:23.100 best to petrify a nation and see let's see how far we can push them they're so americans oh

00:04:32.000 they're so full of their rights aren't they oh you tell them that they can't do something and

00:04:37.840 they turn around and go these are my rights i know my rights but then let's really put it in action

00:04:45.180 and give them an element of danger in it that's what it is anyone could come to your door a

00:04:51.300 government official and tell you you need to do something but if they put this other thing on top

00:04:58.920 of it hey this is deadly this is a deadly disease and if you don't uh capitulate with what we're

00:05:07.860 saying you are killing innocent people remember that if you went out without your mask on

00:05:15.520 it didn't even it it wasn't even something that was dangerous for you if you didn't want the

00:05:23.260 vaccine or you didn't want to put masks on they didn't care about your health they cared that you

00:05:30.060 were hurting other people and none of it made sense because as we all know if some other nut 0.94

00:05:39.000 job is wearing a mask and you're not well aren't they protected and if uh some uh buffoon decided

00:05:50.240 to eat up everything the government was telling them and get uh vaccinated and get the boosters

00:05:56.000 or the people I do feel sorry for that were coerced and blackmailed with their very livelihoods into getting the shot.

00:06:11.440 That hanging over people's heads was a little more of a push to make them say, well, I'm doing what's best for the people.

00:06:21.920 And if the government tells me and doctors are telling me that I need to do this, then I should do it.

00:06:29.420 And so many people did it.

00:06:32.320 I read the other day, 81% of Americans got the COVID vaccine.

00:06:39.180 And oof.

00:06:41.640 A lot of people I've spoken to say that they got it because they were coerced into getting it.

00:06:47.980 It was you get it or look for another job.

00:06:51.420 and by the way the job you got to look for is another job that says you don't have to have it

00:06:55.560 which were very rare in those days unless you worked for me i was one of the good ones

00:07:01.340 but truth be told um a lot of people got it they didn't want to get it

00:07:06.580 and we threw our rights away there were people cheering as law enforcement uh went into various

00:07:17.640 gyms clubs restaurants that were saying no screw you i'm opening i'm running a business i need to

00:07:26.760 make a living and uh american citizens were cheering that the police were barging in and

00:07:35.900 dragging these people out of their uh places of business because they were endangering your lives

00:07:43.200 so um i'd like to think and i think i'm wrong but i would like to think that maybe

00:07:52.200 uh the mindset of american people have changed since then till now and i honestly i do believe

00:08:01.360 it in a sense but i hope i think more than believe that we would tell them to screw off in a second

00:08:08.740 if they come up with another COVID strain, COVID 85-99.3, star date,

00:08:20.560 because we've been through it.

00:08:24.040 We know the unbelievable negatives that came from that.

00:08:30.280 Kids being kept from school, seeing their classmates' faces.

00:08:35.620 honestly half a face that's what kids saw and no one could tell me that all the restrictions put on

00:08:43.080 children during the covid debacle didn't have some type of negative effect on kids 0.98

00:08:50.060 a lot of people my own sister she moved down to south carolina from new york because she had a

00:08:58.120 son still does and uh he was school age and didn't want that for him she's like oh south

00:09:04.880 carolina they'll let my son go to school the school i pay taxes for and uh want him to go

00:09:12.260 and get an education that the government was telling you was dangerous for kids this this

00:09:19.520 every every strain of this covid uh youngsters were the most uh invulnerable to to covid

00:09:31.220 healthy people it didn't matter but they told you put that mask on you get that shot

00:09:38.780 don't go to work work from home don't take public transportation don't remember do we have to do we

00:09:46.920 really have to bring it up again so people remember that they told you not to go to holiday dinners

00:09:52.140 with your family not to visit your elderly relatives do we recall all that it was

00:10:01.460 disgusting what they did to the american people as again i believe was a giant experiment to see

00:10:11.500 how far they could push us how far will americans go they sure like clinging on to their rights

00:10:19.420 telling the government that hey we have the second amendment you try any shenanigans

00:10:24.500 we'll pull some minute man stuff on you and uh we'll we'll we'll fight we'll fight against your

00:10:32.300 tyranny you'll fight you'll put your mask on you'll sit down you'll visit your grandparents 0.52

00:10:40.880 wearing saran wrap and it was disgusting but i'd like to believe again because the the the media

00:10:50.820 was complicit in the whole thing and people believed the media back then a lot more than

00:10:56.240 they do now but uh people went along with it and i think now having seen it in hindsight

00:11:04.300 we wouldn't react the same way and when these news stories come up of a new strain of covid

00:11:14.820 i would seriously like to believe that most americans and every reasonable sensible american

00:11:22.080 would tell them to shove it if they ever tried anything like that again i i really

00:11:30.480 uh hope that that would be um how we would react this time we failed the first covet that we

00:11:40.020 failed as free american citizens to standing up to american government law enforcement the the

00:11:49.940 the medical community that the mainstream media propaganda wing of the the left put out there

00:11:58.000 and we failed miserably we folded and i just hope that that uh if they ever ever try to pull

00:12:10.360 something like that again with some new strain that we do rise up and do tell them to go screw

00:12:16.920 and uh we're not we're not going along with this anymore uh susan is on the phone and she wants to

00:12:24.660 talk a little bit about the new pandemic. Susan, what's up? Okay, so maybe the potentially new

00:12:32.100 pandemic, you know, they're just planting the seeds to lead us down the garden path.

00:12:37.800 But this is extremely serious, because I just want to go down some history here in New York

00:12:48.600 We have on the books a compulsory quarantine law that there are encampments and that could, and I'm going to give you the rule.

00:13:05.720 This was litigated a few times here, but it needs to go to the state Supreme Court.

00:13:19.340 So right now, there is this law, and it is referred to as Rule 2.13, which Mike Lawler and Chris Tagg, George Borrello, they got the original...

00:13:38.620 Susan, allow me to step in for a moment here.

00:13:40.800 What you're saying is there is a rule on the books, or at least it will be on the books very shortly,

00:13:46.680 that they do still have the power to quarantine people in New York State.

00:13:51.680 Is that what you're saying?

00:13:53.200 Yes.

00:13:53.640 And that means by the military can come to your home and take you out of your home, 0.98

00:13:59.960 and that we still have that dictator thing in the governor.

00:14:06.560 and i think this is very serious and i think so too may i please just can i send you something

00:14:14.960 uh that states it all and uh i really think you're a great uh w anthony cummia care of

00:14:22.860 wabc radio new york city there you go i'll get it one of my trips up there susan thank you so much

00:14:30.940 uh you know i i just wanted to get susan's put susan likes to be very specific in in what she's

00:14:38.480 saying on her phone calls and i i do appreciate that susan because she's saying and and it is

00:14:44.100 frightening that you know you would like to stand up to uh the the tyrannical government officials

00:14:50.980 especially with something like coven and tell them no we're not doing this but they do have

00:14:56.980 uh the military and the police behind them uh and and it seems futile to want to fight these

00:15:05.340 entities but um you know it it helps if you have people in office that won't do these things and

00:15:13.120 if you keep voting in people like hokul and chuck schumer and and you voted in adams as the mayor in 0.89

00:15:21.180 new york and now you know you're all clamoring over cuomo who if you ask me in my personal opinion 0.96

00:15:28.980 killed people during the uh covid uh disaster by sending uh covid patients to old age homes like

00:15:38.900 the perfect storm for killing old people and now he's in the lead to be your next mayor in 0.94

00:15:46.660 new york city because why because you vote for him dummies so first thing you got to do is get 0.97

00:15:54.280 over these politicians and start voting in people that will not tell you to stay home and wear a

00:16:00.320 mask and get a shot vote in real uh human beings that understand what it takes to be a citizen

00:16:07.780 in this country we'll be back in moments with more of common sense anthony cumi is sitting in

00:16:14.360 for the fantastical Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

00:16:17.600 Back in moments.

00:16:19.380 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:16:21.160 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:16:26.440 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:16:28.600 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:16:32.600 It's Anthony Cumia in for Bill O'Reilly.

00:16:35.080 Common sense.

00:16:36.400 Thank you for tuning in.

00:16:39.580 I was talking last night about

00:16:41.660 people with no common sense.

00:16:43.960 zero common sense Hollywood celebrities these people that were adored for a century longer

00:16:52.900 than a century at this point you know back in the old days hey hubba hubba we're going to the movie

00:16:58.160 theater uh those were celebrities as they say they are now but we don't care about them anymore 0.81

00:17:04.980 they open their mouths they exposed what garbage they are and uh we don't we don't have the same 0.94

00:17:13.720 feeling we did that we're watching people that might just be a little better than us uh that 0.99

00:17:21.380 was the old days now you see them for what they are they're elitists behind ivory towers and they

00:17:29.360 are telling you how you are supposed to live your life and that nice people with armed security

00:17:37.080 they tell you you have no right to carry the best tool available to protect yourself and your loved

00:17:43.660 ones a firearm they tell you no guns bad everyone guiding them into their giant escalade is armed

00:17:55.420 politicians same thing but the hollywood elite they tell you who you are supposed to live around

00:18:04.960 who you should cohabitate with how dare you wanting to move to a neighborhood where people

00:18:12.380 are like you perhaps the same race religion and you want to live amongst people that you have

00:18:20.180 something in common with freedom of association well from their lily white gated communities

00:18:29.000 they will tell you that you need to live amongst thugs and maybe if your car is parked down on the

00:18:38.300 street the window gets busted and everything gets stolen or you got to worry about walking down the

00:18:43.260 sidewalk to your house but uh that's what they tell you you're supposed to do while again they

00:18:50.420 live in areas that are miles miles and miles away from any uh threats so uh once they started doing

00:19:01.000 that we really looked at celebrities like uh go screw yourself but there's another thing that

00:19:08.120 i'm just captivated with with the celebrities because statistically this doesn't make sense 0.93

00:19:15.580 there are so many transgender children of hollywood celebrities that it just mathematically

00:19:25.760 does not make sense if you look and see how many children um are transgender 0.99

00:19:33.440 now regardless if you even believe that or not i i for one do not believe that children can make a

00:19:41.440 decision to be transgender if that's even a real thing at any point i've i've talked about this in

00:19:50.860 the past and i i believe that there are certain anomalies where somebody say a guy is born and

00:20:00.100 something i i don't even think we could figure it out scientifically something genetically was amiss

00:20:06.960 and they were supposed to genuinely be a woman and they live their lives trying to uh trying to

00:20:18.000 live as as a woman and genetically they they look the part they act the part this is some medical

00:20:25.800 anomaly the the vast vast majority of people i believe that consider themselves transgender

00:20:33.860 i think it's a way to seem popular seem vulnerable especially kids they talk about

00:20:45.120 the the unbelievable increase in transgender kids in school and think of it this way many many years

00:20:55.480 ago if you were a guy and you even acted a little feminine the slurs were tossed at you 0.93

00:21:01.860 beatings you were bullied and it was probably quite a terrible existence for a young lad in

00:21:12.720 in school nowadays there is a been this like in the hundreds of percents of an increase in the 1.00

00:21:24.500 amount of transgender students in school and you have to look and think about the psychology of 1.00

00:21:31.580 school kids school age kids acceptance is a huge part of being a kid in school you don't want to

00:21:40.980 be an outcast no matter how much uh school kids tell you they want to be individuals they want

00:21:46.580 to be part of a group it's what you did you hung out with the people that appreciated you

00:21:53.300 um in school and uh transgender these days is a group of people that are looked at

00:22:01.820 and idolized idolized the staff at the school take extraordinary steps to make sure they are

00:22:12.860 safe secure comfortable loved and who wouldn't want that now you think about it if you're some

00:22:25.440 uh some kid in school that's not popular maybe you are being bullied maybe you're not even being

00:22:32.060 bullied maybe you just can't make any headway with any group in the school you're a loner

00:22:36.300 you're freaky everyone remembers kids like that in school now you go home you'll put on a little

00:22:45.540 dress and a wig and you go into school and you are one of the most you're like an american eagle

00:22:53.200 or a a black panther the cat not the troublemaker and uh people look at you and go oh oh amazing

00:23:03.960 they look at the parents and go how brave what courageous brave wonderful parents they're so

00:23:13.420 tolerant and everyone is an angel around this transgender student is the kid transgender

00:23:23.300 i don't know i doubt it i think a lot of uh people especially younger like that

00:23:31.340 see it as a way to be protected and looked at with almost envy by some people in school

00:23:39.840 and absolutely get protection by the faculty at that school that they would never would

00:23:45.440 have gotten as just some loner that occasionally gets, you know, smacked in the head by the

00:23:51.880 cool kids.

00:23:54.540 Now, you look at the other end of it, these Hollywood celebrities that I have been talking

00:23:59.620 about here that have decided they want to adopt kids or they want to give birth to kids and

00:24:08.200 somehow the amount the percentage of transgender kids adopted or born to hollywood celebrities

00:24:17.740 is like i said inconceivable mathematically it does not work out so what is it is it the mommy

00:24:27.060 dearest syndrome where they're just doing it in order to get publicity is it another thing like

00:24:35.760 the munchausen by proxy syndrome that i think is i think transgender parents parents of

00:24:45.100 transgender kids it's a new type of munchausen's by proxy syndrome which whereas uh kids were

00:24:55.560 uh poisoned or injured by the parent just so the parent could bring them to the doctor or the 0.89

00:25:03.780 hospital and get that attention and sympathy that a parent of a sick child gets it's one of the most

00:25:11.260 disturbing mental illnesses that are out there and everyone looked at it as that as a disturbing

00:25:19.500 mental illness I absolutely believe that the majority not even some the majority of parents

00:25:29.540 of transgender kids that are below the age of puberty I'll even give them that much below the 0.55

00:25:36.840 age of puberty that these parents are no different than any other parent that had Munchausen 0.96

00:25:44.000 i cannot see that they are not doing this for attention and the troubling thing is it's not

00:25:52.560 looked at like munchausen was it's not uh frowned upon and and the police don't arrest the parents

00:26:00.640 they would arrest the parents at the hospital oh my god we we saw on the close circuit tv

00:26:06.340 she was cutting off the oxygen to her daughter's hospital bed.

00:26:13.000 And the doctors came in and realized, 1.00

00:26:15.040 oh my God, this woman's been making this child sick. 1.00

00:26:17.340 They go to jail. 1.00

00:26:19.300 But you could have a parent of a transgender child 1.00

00:26:23.000 that could do anything. 1.00

00:26:25.880 Hormones, mutilation surgery of their children.

00:26:33.040 And they're lauded for it.

00:26:35.840 They're celebrated for it.

00:26:39.720 So that sets an example to other parents that are off their rockers,

00:26:45.140 if I may be so bold and use such harsh language,

00:26:48.640 that they could do this and get that attention.

00:26:54.700 And, you know, anybody that tells you that a child,

00:27:00.060 a prepubescent child, can decide that they are one gender or another

00:27:06.540 is out of their mind.

00:27:09.460 There are so many kids that you see growing up,

00:27:12.740 and they have no interest in any type of gender-related hobbies.

00:27:22.340 You're a guy. You don't like girls. 0.98

00:27:24.980 You're a girl. You don't like guys.

00:27:26.360 You're a tomboy. 1.00

00:27:27.320 you're a guy more interested in your microscope and telescope than you are girls that was me for 0.99

00:27:33.220 quite some time as a kid until you you go through that puberty phase and hormones kick in you don't

00:27:42.900 know anything about your sexuality and to think there are doctors willing to give medication and

00:27:50.940 perform surgeries on these children is criminal and they're again celebrated for this so um you

00:32:25.340 sense and we will be back with common sense in moments anthony cumia filling in for the great

00:32:33.080 Mr. Bill O'Reilly. We'll be right back.

00:32:36.120 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:32:43.500 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:32:45.820 Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:32:50.680 Finally, some common sense.

00:32:53.040 Of course, Bill is away, and I am filling in Anthony Cumia.

00:32:57.180 You could catch my show if you enjoy what I'm doing here.

00:32:59.980 I am on WABC radio every Sunday night from 8 to 11 p.m.

00:33:06.880 And it's more, if I may use some harsh language, hijinks and shenanigans like you're hearing here during my tenure for a week hosting Bill O'Reilly's Common Sense.

00:33:18.440 So I do appreciate the support. And I look at this story and I wonder how anybody is left in the state of California.

00:33:31.600 How is there a single person left in that state? Maybe. All right.

00:33:38.260 More importantly, the people that have a couple of brain cells, a couple of sparking synapse in their head,

00:33:45.960 maybe some money some wealth that they want to hold on to and and utilize for their retirement

00:33:53.240 maybe that terrible thing of passing it on to their kids uh but california just every story

00:34:00.720 that comes out of there is insane none of it makes sense and it's just rewarding terrible behavior

00:34:09.900 laziness and anything exceptional anybody that does something good any idea that takes a little

00:34:22.760 bit of effort is looked down upon looked at as as a terrible terrible thing because again

00:34:29.420 we gotta have equality if somebody is exceptional that means there's a bunch of people that aren't

00:34:38.080 and that's not very nice is it they need to feel exceptional when uh when i was going to school

00:34:45.740 uh way back in the little house on the prairie uh days i tease of course uh there were exceptional

00:34:54.580 classes i never went to one none of my friends ever went to an exceptional class we made fun of

00:35:03.700 them because that's all we really had as ammo against the exceptional students they were nerds

00:35:11.380 geeks dweebs they weren't cool you know what they were exceptional and they were treated as such

00:35:22.360 by the schools they realized oh my god look at this prize we have there is a kid here

00:35:32.580 that is so amazingly advanced

00:35:37.080 in their ability to learn

00:35:40.000 that we need, we can't hold him back.

00:35:43.880 It's a sin, like hold it back a thoroughbred.

00:35:47.200 Let's put him in an exceptional class.

00:35:49.900 And then the class had a few students.

00:35:52.280 They were all exceptional.

00:35:54.520 Weirdos, we called them weirdos too.

00:35:57.620 But we understood

00:36:00.000 they they were able to handle the school work a little easier than we were

00:36:07.660 whatever we called them well you know what happened over the course of the years

00:36:13.300 the the parents of the other kids started getting mad that the school didn't think

00:36:22.940 their kids were exceptional they found it offensive that the class and these kids were

00:36:30.600 called exceptional my little johnny is also exceptional to me why should i have to look

00:36:38.780 at a classroom of kids that have been labeled exceptional when i know my child is except 1.00

00:36:44.580 your kid's an idiot he's a little dummy hopefully he knows how to dig a hole when he gets out of 1.00

00:36:54.080 school because that's all there is in his future but they they they were so angry at the prospect 1.00

00:37:01.520 that there were kids that that just were smarter than your little angel

00:37:07.340 and while they should have been told to um excuse me f off by the administration

00:37:17.260 the administration looked and said maybe we are hurting some of these parents and kids

00:37:26.300 maybe the kids if they don't think they're exceptional they won't work

00:37:30.800 to be exceptional when the truth of the matter is they could never possibly be exceptional

00:37:36.760 so they made a big to do about it and what did they do eliminated the exceptional classes

00:37:45.080 they just got rid of them that was dubbed equality and all they did was lower the bar

00:37:55.980 to the level of the lowest common denominator now it's equal but you have these exceptional

00:38:02.880 students that are being pushed down you lower the bar you gotta put it over their heads and

00:38:10.900 push their heads down because they are exceptional and this continued to this day it has not stopped

00:38:20.020 the lowering of the bar and it's done a lot of damage i mean go anywhere go anywhere and try

00:38:30.880 to get any type of customer service in a store try to order something in a fast food place

00:38:40.460 you are talking to people that are not exceptional but they were given uh the bar was lowered to the

00:38:51.300 point where they believed they were and they should be treated as such and now we are dealing

00:38:58.200 with uh that lowered bar and what it wrought on our country well california hasn't stopped

00:39:05.260 there is something now called grading for equity grading for equity with a d not a t

00:39:12.400 um this is supposed to make schools better this will make it so more students pass and graduate

00:39:22.080 school uh does it really matter at this point if they're graduating when they're learning

00:39:27.500 absolutely nothing a lot of these kids can't do the most simple spelling or reading

00:39:32.320 so uh here's what this entails the san francisco unified school district is

00:39:38.120 enacting this immediately but it has been enacted in some other places in of course california

00:39:46.200 eliminate homework there will be no homework and if there is if a teacher still wants to give

00:39:54.860 homework not handing in any homework will not affect a bit of your grade this is real i i never

00:40:03.360 did my homework did i tell you i wasn't in the exceptional class i didn't do my homework and i

00:40:08.200 paid dearly for it i got really lousy grades eliminate weekly tests remember how at the end

00:40:16.300 of the week there'd be a quiz or a test uh eliminate that you don't need that anymore

00:40:22.720 where grading for equity is put in place.

00:40:27.060 And by the way, a lot of this is based on race.

00:40:31.580 They've noticed that a lot of students of color

00:40:35.040 are not performing well in these schools.

00:40:38.040 Now, we could all get together and argue the reasons for that,

00:40:41.640 but it is a fact that they are not performing as well.

00:40:46.520 So to take care of that problem,

00:40:48.360 what they do, again, is just lower the bar.

00:40:51.480 if you make everyone able to pass and and get spit out the other end with a diploma high school

00:40:57.640 diploma then it's equity that's equity not making sure the people at the bottom come up to the level

00:41:06.080 of learning and make that the part that's equal we all learn something and there's the equity no

00:41:12.960 bring everyone down and and make sure it's equal at the bottom of the barrel and this is how

00:41:20.320 california sees its educational system the fact that donald trump wants to do away with the

00:41:25.560 department of education is fantastic they have done nothing to help uh students in this country

00:41:33.800 allow for late assignment hand-ins so you know that assignment is due wednesday at the end of

00:41:42.280 class all right i'll bring it in friday all right that's fine you'll still get an equal grade as the

00:41:49.620 kid that did bring it in on time you got it see how this is working allow students to skip class

00:41:59.320 without affecting grades i'd have been an a plus student i skipped so many classes

00:42:07.000 and i paid for it i did not get grades uh good grades but now you don't even have to show up

00:42:15.320 what do they want you to do like that's an interesting concept what would they want you to

00:42:21.360 do to pass uh the class uh getting an 80 out of 100 is an a that's now the new a if you just get

00:42:32.960 80 which i believe was a c a c back in the day it's now an a and allow students to pass which

00:42:43.920 would be a d allow students to pass with a grade as low as 21 a 21 out of 100 is a passing grade

00:42:53.140 i believe a 65 was the absolute bottom you could get and still pass a test or a grade or or your

00:43:02.540 your uh class for the year but that is grading for equality make it equal but at the bottom

00:43:12.540 so so everyone's a piece of garbage instead of trying to bring people up and actually figure

00:43:19.800 out a way to teach people effectively and make that equal bar at the top we are losing as a 0.97

00:43:28.800 nation and the education system in this country is driving that driving it at breakneck speeds

00:43:35.480 uh we'll be back in moments with common sense anthony cumia in for bill o'reilly

00:43:40.700 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:43:48.440 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:43:50.880 Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:43:56.420 And this is Anthony Cumia filling in for Bill O'Reilly.

00:44:00.380 And I appreciate your support and tuning in.

00:44:04.440 Thank you.

00:44:05.680 This story got me.

00:44:06.920 It's one of these just kind of strange things to think of.

00:44:12.380 John Tyler was the 10th president of the United States.

00:44:18.240 John Tyler was born in the 1700s, like 1790 something.

00:44:26.040 His grandson just died.

00:44:29.280 His grandson just died in 2025.

00:44:34.800 five his uh his name uh was harrison tyler he died at 96 96 years old and he was john tyler's

00:44:49.740 grandson uh you think about a guy that was born in the 1700s and his grandson died in what would

00:44:58.800 be perceived as the future to the imagine telling someone back then in the 1700s early 1800s

00:45:06.020 uh what what 2025 would look like and then you're saying your grandson will be alive then you must

00:45:15.860 think there's been some kind of a medical breakthrough where people don't die until

00:45:20.420 they're 100 years old 300 years old or something but uh this guy uh lived that long i guess

00:45:26.940 his father was 75 when he had him and uh president tyler was 63 when he had um harrison's father

00:45:38.940 so obviously a lot of late um late shenanigans going on in their lives but uh it's weird when

00:45:47.860 you think like that seems so long ago and it's literally one one person separating the guy's

00:45:54.240 father i once i'll bring myself into this i once many years ago met groucho marks when i was

00:46:01.700 probably 11 years old and i shook his hand groucho was born in 1890 and i shook the hand of a guy

00:46:10.520 born in 1890 and if you think about it if a a person was 91 years old and picked up a newborn

00:46:19.700 groucho marx they would have been born in 1799 and there would have been one person groucho marx

00:46:30.000 separating me from someone born in the 1700s it's it's pretty incredible when you think about those

00:46:41.520 terms isn't it people or i am so effing old that only one degree of separation could separate me

00:46:50.260 from somebody born in the 18th century yes ladies and gentlemen thank you so much for tuning in
