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.
00:06:32.320
I read the other day, 81% of Americans got the COVID vaccine.
00:06:41.640
A lot of people I've spoken to say that they got it because they were coerced into getting it.
00:06:51.420
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,
00:08:24.040
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...
00:13:40.800
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.
00:13:53.640
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
00:16:43.960
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
00:23:54.540
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.
00:26:15.040
oh my God, this woman's been making this child sick.
1.00
00:26:19.300
But you could have a parent of a transgender child
1.00
00:26:25.880
Hormones, mutilation surgery of their children.
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
00:27:09.460
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.
00:27:27.320
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
00:28:04.040
know i would be called obviously a trans folk for even bringing this up i personally don't care
00:28:09.420
i've been called many many things during the years uh that i've been broadcasting i've been put into
00:28:16.880
exile broadcasting exile for many things i've said until the wonderful folks wabc radio pulled
00:28:25.900
me out of exile and brought me back and i do appreciate that but uh getting back to the
00:28:32.160
hollywood thing let's look at this list of celebrities that have at least one by the way
00:28:41.500
some of these have more like the top list charlize theron beautiful south african actress
00:28:47.980
charlize theron she has kids multiple children that are transgender how did now you want to
00:28:58.560
talk about mathematical anomalies and impossibilities the fact that you have more
1.00
00:29:03.360
than one transgender kid tells me you are a problem you have a mental illness and you are
1.00
00:29:11.480
influencing these children to become transgender so how do we look at these people and celebrate
1.00
00:29:23.320
them it's disgusting cynthia nixon a lesbian she was on sex in the city the redhead one
1.00
00:29:33.880
she has a transgender oh amazing she's gay and coincidentally enough she's got a transgender
0.99
00:29:40.640
kid what are the odds what are the odds zero dwayne wade and gabrielle union jamie lee curtis
00:29:49.980
uh alleged hermaphrodite i don't know i always thought that story was funny that's sort of like
00:29:57.460
the um the story of uh the gerbil what's his name but uh jamie lee curtis marlon waynes

00:31:53.580
I thought they was too old to even have kids
1.00
00:32:05.440
um yeah it's just the odds that this would be a natural occurrence are out of the question
00:32:15.100
impossible yet it's happening and no one says anything about it except me right here on common
00:32:25.340
sense and we will be back with common sense in moments anthony cumia filling in for the great
00:32:36.120
It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:32:45.820
Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
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
00:36:00.000
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
00:40:27.060
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
00:40:38.040
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.
00:40:51.480
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.
00:43:50.880
Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:43:56.420
And this is Anthony Cumia filling in for Bill O'Reilly.
00:44:06.920
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.
00:44:34.800
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
00:46:58.760
i do appreciate it i'll be back tomorrow filling in for the great bill o'reilly on common sense
00:47:05.420
Tune in to my show Sunday nights right here at WABC Radio, 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
00:47:23.600
When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:47:29.720
It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,
00:47:34.300
and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.
00:47:39.560
And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:47:44.340
our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:47:54.620
A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors
00:47:59.720
It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:48:03.280
And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:48:06.660
We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
