00:01:02.140 Hey, it's Sid. I'll admit it. I snore.

00:01:04.280 Loud.

00:01:05.100 I've done plenty of night on the couch.

00:01:08.140 That's why I'm getting Inholla.

00:01:09.980 It's a doctor consult by Telehealth.

00:01:22.280 Silent. No machine. No CPAP.

00:01:24.440 You breathe naturally all night.

00:01:26.300 Go to Inhala.com. I-N-H-A-L-A.com.

00:01:30.080 Inhala.com. Join me. 0.69

00:01:33.200 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:01:36.200 Oh, my God. I'm here in New York again.

00:01:38.420 I can't even. I can't even.

00:01:41.580 I was just here a couple of weeks ago.

00:01:43.960 Stranded, actually.

00:01:45.340 I tried to get back to South Carolina.

00:01:46.820 And I spent two luxurious days at the LaGuardia, at one of the LaGuardia Airport hotels, you know, making, what do they call that in Fight Club, single-serving friends at the bar?

00:02:00.200 You sit there and you hear a conversation spark up and you just start rambling because you've had enough beer or what have you.

00:02:08.560 I don't want to have to do that again.

00:02:11.260 But I'm here until Tuesday morning.

00:02:14.800 I've been here since Friday night, and it's just, it's New York.

00:02:20.880 It's New York. 0.97

00:02:22.760 I bitch, I complain about it, but I think I have fair reason to. 0.98

00:02:28.860 I like the people I see. 0.99

00:02:30.640 You know, I see my friends.

00:02:31.840 I had dinner with the wonderful Mr. Gavin McInnes last night,

00:02:35.760 and I see my buddies, Jim Norton.

00:02:39.000 Saw him Saturday night or Friday night.

00:02:42.300 Just a great time.

00:02:43.360 And then it's everything else you have to deal with.

00:02:48.480 My latest complaint, and this has been something that's kind of been a thing over the course of the years, but it's worse now than it ever was.

00:02:57.940 You hop in a cab, which I hate doing.

00:03:01.560 I'd rather take an Uber anywhere.

00:03:03.260 But in New York, sometimes you just go, eh, there's a cab right there.

00:03:06.680 I might as well take it.

00:03:08.500 And the roads have not been repaired in I don't know how long.

00:03:15.300 I'm not saying it's just Memdani that's the problem here.

00:03:19.100 I honestly don't think he'll ever put any money toward infrastructure.

00:03:23.820 I think it's all going to his ridiculous social programs and grocery stores for the poor and free this and free that.

00:03:34.120 billions of dollars shortfalls on the budget.

00:03:40.500 They're predicting more billions of dollars

00:03:44.260 he's going to be short next year on the budget.

00:03:47.340 But what he's cutting, I think,

00:03:50.880 are the basic things you want as a New York City taxpayer.

00:03:54.420 You want to drive on roads that are at least passable.

00:04:01.100 At least passable.

00:04:02.660 You want infrastructure.

00:04:04.120 for your water and electricity and whatnot.

00:04:08.600 I was in a cab.

00:04:10.340 I'm driving here.

00:04:11.920 You can no longer put your head back on the headrest.

00:04:18.100 You're in the backseat of a cab.

00:04:20.080 You cannot put your head back there.

00:04:22.220 You will get a concussion.

00:04:24.480 My head was bouncing off of the seat

00:04:28.100 because every inch of every road in New York City

00:04:33.540 is a pothole or a metal plate over it

00:04:37.720 or it's chewed up gravel that used to be

00:04:42.200 pavement. And you will never see this

00:04:46.320 fixed under, you know, Mamdani or anybody else that

00:04:49.940 the city of New York will elect. It's, you know, he's

00:04:54.220 a Democrat socialist. Communist. And

00:04:58.120 why would they fix the infrastructure? He doesn't really have

00:05:02.260 to worry about it and uh we all just go oh that sucks and nothing gets done isn't it wonderful

00:05:10.700 so that was my uh my big complaint uh for this trip into new york city every single inch of

00:05:20.960 roadway is a disaster and don't even ask me if i've been in the subways the answer will always

00:05:27.020 be no i'd sooner walk i would sooner walk anywhere speaking of i had to tape a show uh on saturday

00:05:37.420 afternoon yesterday afternoon and i had to take a cab over into the uh alphabet section of lower

00:05:45.220 manhattan on the east side lower manhattan and uh my cab driver at one point because there were

00:05:52.800 a bunch of closures a bunch of street closures he couldn't make a left because i was staying in

00:05:58.140 midtown and uh he goes uh you need to get out wait what i my credit score is that bad i can

00:06:09.560 you don't think i'll pay you need get out cross street get another cab 0.97

00:06:17.400 i've lived here i've worked here what if i was from kansas what if i was some poor bastard from 0.98

00:06:28.840 the midwest here in exciting new york with my family god knows what kind of a nut would do 0.82

00:06:36.920 that to their family but uh i knew what he meant he meant yeah get out cross the street that is

00:06:45.380 causing all these closures and then grab another cab but he doesn't speak well enough to convey

00:06:51.780 that to anybody that wouldn't know what hasn't lived in new york hasn't worked in new york

00:06:58.280 but that's kind of the way it is and i swear to you i tell these cabbies all the time if i ever

00:07:03.440 take a cab these days i go this is why you're losing to uber the uber driver he knows where

00:07:11.100 i have to be he he has his gps he's getting paid probably more than a cab gets paid uh maybe not

00:07:19.940 but they figure out a way the cabs are just never english you can never talk to them and they're the

00:07:29.760 ones that need talking to i was on a trip the other day i uh i get in a cab and uh he doesn't

00:07:36.740 know where my destination is so now i'm looking it up on my phone to get the cross street i thought

00:07:43.060 he might know where it is like old school cab drivers back in the old days where you're going

00:07:48.100 mac mac puts his elbow on the back of the seat turns his head there's no uh plexiglass there

00:07:54.880 some good old days where you're going oh yeah i i used to uh work as a bartender over there

00:08:03.160 And he'd convey a great old-y time American story.

00:08:07.280 But these days, get out of cab.

00:08:11.280 Get another cab.

00:08:13.880 Like, holy Jesus, Palomino.

00:08:17.780 And here's why.

00:08:19.940 Because there was some kind of bicycling thing going on.

00:08:26.740 When I finally reached the street that caused the closures,

00:08:29.840 All I'm seeing are these smiling-faced bicyclists peddling down the street,

00:08:39.060 screwing up everyone's afternoon by closing the streets.

00:08:44.340 New York is a place of business.

00:08:48.640 Every day, seven days a week, Sunday, Saturday, it doesn't matter.

00:08:54.160 There is business going on.

00:08:56.180 And the fact that they just close streets for runners and bicyclists and street fairs and it's Puerto Rican Day Parade or it's this one and that one, you cannot do that in New York.

00:09:13.140 When every street is open, it's a disaster to drive around in.

00:09:18.480 And then they're going to close block after block of cross streets that you need to get across town.

00:09:24.520 And it winds up taking you an hour to get what would normally be a 10-minute cab drive.

00:09:32.760 So I was none too happy, as they say, about that one.

00:09:38.700 But that's how they work.

00:09:41.020 That's how this city works. 1.00

00:09:43.140 And Madani, you know. 1.00

00:09:45.100 New York has to be affordable for everyone. 1.00

00:09:49.040 Really?

00:09:50.420 Why are you closed the street?

00:09:51.580 It's a working place.

00:09:52.580 People have to work to afford to live in New York.

00:09:55.760 And you're making it inconvenient and dangerous.

00:10:00.020 Deadly dangerous for everybody that's living and working here.

00:10:07.380 Oh, I got a few choice stories concerning Zoran and his stuff.

00:10:13.140 I love this story.

00:10:14.480 We'll get to it in a little bit.

00:10:16.160 It's a story about child, not daycare or child care or health care or anything,

00:10:23.140 but it's like a babysitting service.

00:10:26.900 Zoran wants to have some type of babysitting so that the parents could, you know,

00:10:34.060 blow off a little steam, have a little fun.

00:10:36.300 so he has suggested that the city take care of your kids can you imagine the psychopath that

00:10:47.180 would actually drop their kid off into the hands of somebody from the city the government

00:10:55.460 in a park this is what it's supposed to be i'll get to the story in a little while

00:11:00.460 but uh i you know you should they should have child protective services right there on the spot

00:11:08.520 and if you drop your kid off there they just take you they arrest you and they take your kid

00:11:14.520 remember the old episodes of cops where they told people that had warrants that they won television

00:11:19.900 sets those were my favorites and they'd come in and the cops are all in disguise they're like yay

00:11:25.260 you won just go into that back room there and claim your prize the prize was handcuffs and a

00:11:31.300 ride down to a jail uh that's what they should do with these parents that would bring their kids

00:11:38.360 to a a babysitting uh session set up by by the city in a park i mean who the hell would trust

00:11:50.180 the likes of Zorhan Mamdani

00:11:52.140 and his cronies watching

00:11:54.080 your kids. They can't even

00:11:55.940 do them right in school.

00:11:58.080 Never mind them

00:11:59.940 just running around a park somewhere.

00:12:01.880 God knows the

00:12:03.060 criminal records of the people

00:12:06.200 that they would have 0.87

00:12:07.840 taking care of these poor 1.00

00:12:09.460 little bastards. But 1.00

00:12:11.920 yeah, that's going on.

00:12:14.540 Not every game's an all-timer.

00:13:44.180 Iran because it was

00:13:46.500 Iran when I was growing up 0.98

00:13:48.260 they changed it

00:13:49.080 they always do that names of countries

00:13:52.460 or people was it Ace Frehley

00:13:54.820 or Ace Frehley

00:13:56.040 I don't know but 0.67

00:13:58.100 don't make me change Iran

00:14:00.560 we are 1.00

00:14:02.560 in a cluster F

00:14:03.840 in the Middle East right

00:14:06.520 now and I am none too

00:14:08.360 happy with what Donald

00:14:10.500 Trump is doing and I know damn well

00:14:12.360 There are probably some people right here at this very radio station, some friends of mine, associates, politicians, that will not be pleased with what I have to say.

00:14:24.420 But it has to be said.

00:14:25.900 Your calls, too. 0.98

00:14:27.200 I love you, you goofy people calling in. 0.95

00:14:30.500 800-848-9222 is the number. 0.92

00:14:34.840 800-848-9222.

00:14:36.700 And we'll be back in moments with more of The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:14:40.600 It's the Anthony Cumia Show, 77 WABC.

00:14:47.820 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:14:51.280 And, yeah, like I said, I want to talk about Donald Trump,

00:14:55.680 the Iran situation, the war.

00:15:00.040 Isn't it a war?

00:15:01.200 I don't know.

00:15:01.640 I remember growing up way back in the old days.

00:15:05.920 I was a little tater tot during a little conflict they called Vietnam.

00:15:12.240 And they never called that a war.

00:15:15.920 At least not the liberals, the hippies, they called it a war.

00:15:20.760 The conservatives called it a police action.

00:15:24.260 It's a police action.

00:15:26.360 We're policing.

00:15:27.500 And then it was, you know, we'd send in advisers.

00:15:30.820 They're not soldiers.

00:15:32.020 They're advisers.

00:15:33.940 But I think everybody whose name is up on that big black granite wall in D.C.

00:15:40.920 and their families have no qualms about calling it a war. 0.84

00:15:45.920 And I think the Iran situation is a war. 0.95

00:15:53.180 And I don't know what the hell is going on.

00:15:56.620 And I'm paid to know what the hell is going on with things like that.

00:15:59.980 But very quickly, first, I want to talk about 81 years ago on this very day.

00:16:08.420 It was Nagasaki.

00:16:12.440 On Thursday, we had Hiroshima 81 years ago.

00:16:16.700 And 81 years ago today was the bombing of Nagasaki.

00:16:21.720 Nagasaki, as an old uncle would say.

00:16:24.240 And the Super Fortress, B-29 Super Fortress boxcar, piloted by Major Charles W. Sweeney, rolling down the Tarmac with its belly full of its deadly cargo.

00:16:38.660 Why do they talk like that back then?

00:16:40.420 Very funny to me.

00:16:41.980 But Fat Boy, yo, Fat Boy, that was the bomb, the plutonium atomic bomb, dropped on the Jap city of Nagasaki.

00:16:52.740 three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, or Hiroshima, see?

00:16:57.800 I don't know how to say anything anymore.

00:17:01.020 This was the second and, of course, the final use of an atom bomb in combat.

00:17:05.740 And then a few days later, August 15th, Japan said,

00:17:09.800 Enough! We have had it. You guys are crazy with that stuff.

00:17:14.900 And they surrendered, officially ending World War II.

00:17:19.200 And I posted that on X, and, God, people pull stuff out of their backside, I'll say that to keep it all safe.

00:17:30.580 But I was getting accused somehow for commemorating the amazing courage, ingenuity, the fact that when World War II started, no one even really knew how to make an atomic bomb.

00:17:50.600 And by the end of it, you know, we laid two on them.

00:17:53.980 And I'm just commemorating that, letting people know that, yeah, that happened 81 years ago. 0.88

00:18:00.540 And there were a few comments that are just like, yeah, Anthony, once again, defending the Jews.

00:18:07.760 Like, what?

00:18:11.060 It was 81 years ago, World War II. 0.78

00:18:14.000 It's Japan.

00:18:16.360 This has nothing to do with that.

00:18:18.300 But I think that happens all the time now.

00:18:20.640 It doesn't matter what you comment about.

00:18:24.120 Hey, my pool was a little warm today. 1.00

00:18:26.640 Ah, Jews! 1.00

00:18:27.320 so uh just amazing an amazing bit of ingenuity an amazing uh american bravery and just the fact

00:18:38.780 that yeah like i said you know you watch that movie oppenheimer and it's it's good you know

00:18:44.080 they they had to dumb it down a little to make it an interesting movie it wasn't a documentary

00:18:49.240 but when you think that the splitting of the atom

00:18:55.620 and coming up with all the energy that it takes

00:18:58.440 to make a nuclear explosion from doing that

00:19:01.580 wasn't even really, it was theorized

00:19:05.340 some people said, we think it can be done

00:19:09.180 we think that this is how it's done

00:19:12.540 and you're utilizing things that you can't even see

00:19:18.120 And you're utilizing, like the atom, you're utilizing things that you'd have to, just based on math and theory, you think it can be done.

00:19:32.260 If we do this, it's going to unleash hell.

00:19:36.540 And they made it happen.

00:19:39.660 And to me, that is amazing.

00:19:41.700 And, again, you know, you don't want to put it in terms of, you know, the good guys always win.

00:19:51.000 But, boy, it would have been bad if the bad guys would have gotten their hands on that thing.

00:19:57.580 You know, imagine a Japan at the end of the war with an atom bomb. 0.89

00:20:04.460 They would have wreaked havoc, wreaked havoc, as they say. 0.99

00:20:07.400 All right, so, you know, hats off.

00:20:09.720 Hats off to the United States.

00:20:12.620 81 years ago, Nagasaki ending the war. 0.98

00:20:16.500 Good man.

00:20:17.320 God bless.

00:20:18.240 God bless America. 0.60

00:20:19.940 Now we fast forward to another war.

00:20:24.440 Oh, boy.

00:20:26.160 What is going on?

00:20:29.280 Can someone tell?

00:20:30.500 I say this just about every week.

00:20:32.220 I don't know what this war is about.

00:20:35.420 And like I said, I'm paid to know these things. I'm paid to to research and listen to other people, experts speak, read, use my own deductive reasoning to try to figure out what people are talking about.

00:20:51.400 I have no idea why we're involved with Iran at this point.

00:20:56.140 I thought it was about the nuclear thing.

00:21:00.060 And, you know, we seem to have put that out of commission.

00:21:04.280 I saw a lot of bunker busters and a bunch of other bombs making holes in mountains that apparently were there were there were bomb making facilities or uranium enrichment plants under those mountains.

00:21:20.580 And everyone went, oh, cool.

00:21:23.220 You know, we've done strategic strikes on many, many, many countries.

00:21:28.740 Every president, over the course of the years,

00:21:33.600 have done these strategic strikes.

00:21:36.560 It's not war.

00:21:39.200 It's just we don't like something that's going on.

00:21:43.120 We drop a few bombs, and then we're out.

00:21:46.760 And it takes a few years for them to get back up to speed

00:21:50.940 to whatever they're working on,

00:21:53.100 or there's a regime change, whatever it may be.

00:21:56.760 This is not that.

00:21:58.740 This is something that we're now looking at that is way too involved.

00:22:05.440 We are way too involved militarily.

00:22:08.140 And I don't see what our exit plan is here.

00:22:13.180 I can't see a mission that when this happens will be done.

00:22:20.040 I'm hearing every other week.

00:22:22.220 It's become a joke.

00:22:23.400 when trump gets on television or or you see him on social media a clip and he says uh uh we're

00:22:33.060 we're in talks great talks great people and then literally the next day we're bombing him into

00:22:42.080 kingdom come it's over they're terrible and it happens over and over and over is anyone taking

00:22:50.080 what trump says about iran seriously at this point be honest look i love the guy i love what

00:22:58.260 ice is doing i love the fact that the border is shut down now and it doesn't look anything like

00:23:05.260 it did under biden we had those caravans of south americans central americans mexicans

00:23:13.120 god knows who else from all over the world invading the southern border in in unbelievable

00:23:20.400 numbers it looked like an invasion because it was and i love that trump took office shut it down 0.99

00:23:28.060 and instantly started kicking out the people that had come here illegally i want to see more of that

00:23:35.180 but i appreciate that part of it i really do but you know you gotta be honest

00:23:42.080 i started or not in 2013 and we make bike apparel the best part of shopify for me is our ability to

00:23:50.400 run the business as essentially non-technical people we're able to admin everything on the

00:23:56.240 back end front end and sell things online easily if shopify were a bike accessory i think it would

00:24:03.380 actually be the bicycle it's the thing that you do the thing on we run the business on shopify

00:24:08.400 Start your free trial on Shopify.com.

00:24:38.400 You can't just say because I'm on Team Trump

00:24:44.960 that I can't criticize him

00:24:47.660 because that's exactly what should be done right now.

00:24:53.640 Oh, but all right, Anthony,

00:24:55.220 what would you rather have, Kamala Harris? 0.92

00:24:57.460 See, I got some guy in here.

00:24:59.720 He's called the devil's advocate, yeah.

00:25:02.380 And no, of course not.

00:25:04.840 I would vote for a garden rake 1.00

00:25:06.720 before I would vote for Kamala Harris.

00:25:09.520 Of course, I would vote for Trump in a second, again.

00:25:16.060 But what are we supposed to do?

00:25:18.920 Not call him out on this war?

00:25:23.120 That is insane.

00:25:25.100 There's no end to it.

00:25:26.240 I don't see any way to get out of it with any type of honor 0.99

00:25:31.460 or having an upper hand on Iran. 0.71

00:25:37.320 Your calls and a lot more on this topic when we return.

00:25:42.320 Anthony, come here, show.

00:25:44.320 Keep them separated.

00:25:46.400 Yeah, this is something that's been weighing on a lot of people.

00:25:52.960 I'm not alone.

00:25:53.560 I talk to people, and you can't just pick up the Trump pom-poms

00:25:59.820 and do a little cheer if you're not happy,

00:26:04.200 just for the sake of saying, well, I support Trump,

00:26:07.700 so I support everything he does.

00:26:09.240 That is not logical, Captain.

00:26:13.340 So I don't like this.

00:26:15.420 I don't think we have a plan here.

00:26:21.200 And I really don't think there is a solution, an endgame,

00:26:27.560 where we come out of this looking good at this point again when you have these military strikes

00:26:35.440 because the country is getting a little rambunctious you don't like something they're

00:26:39.340 doing uh and like i said uh other presidents have done this over the course of history

00:26:44.820 that's one thing we got way too deep into this and i honestly think donald trump

00:26:53.200 thought this was going to be easy, and it's not.

00:26:59.240 Iran wasn't some little country that could easily be toppled 0.62

00:27:06.940 or made to do what you want them to do because you drop a few bombs on them.

00:27:14.200 They had a competent military, and they still have people in charge.

00:27:22.340 They still have plenty of weaponry to do some severe damage to our Middle Eastern allies.

00:27:30.500 Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, all these countries that were kind of rah-rah all behind us when this started.

00:27:42.300 And now it's not that good.

00:27:46.220 It seems like a lot of these countries don't really want to be involved anymore.

00:27:50.720 They certainly don't want to have any retaliatory strikes put upon them because of things we're doing.

00:27:58.620 And when you have Trump every other day on television saying that we're going to just bomb him into the Stone Age, and then the next day they want peace, we're talking to them, it's amazing, there should be a deal within days, and then it does not happen.

00:28:19.780 I'm not going to just say, oh, great. 0.97

00:28:22.920 No, he's doing a great job when I'm being played the fool here. 0.94

00:28:29.340 This has happened way too many times. 0.90

00:28:32.760 I'm not into war.

00:28:35.980 That's why I voted for Trump.

00:28:38.080 I remember him saying specifically that no new wars was a thing.

00:28:43.960 Now, I also understand that you can't predict what's going to happen in the future.

00:28:50.220 If someone says no new wars and it's imperative that we use our military to protect our country, I'm going to give the guy a pass.

00:28:59.860 No new wars for nothing.

00:29:02.400 No new wars just to make a new war.

00:29:05.220 Yeah, I get that.

00:29:06.680 But if there was an emergency for national security, we had to utilize our military?

00:29:15.440 Of course.

00:29:17.120 Of course.

00:29:17.920 I don't think anybody would fault him. 0.98

00:29:20.260 Do you really think that's what needs to be done in Iran? 1.00

00:29:25.080 Here comes the devil's advocate guy. 0.89

00:29:27.680 Well, Anthony, you want a nuclear-armed Iran? 0.86

00:29:31.860 Of course not. 0.84

00:29:33.200 And I've already said the strikes that were done, from what I've heard, have set back Iran's nuclear program at least years, a few years, and if there's ever any indication that they're enriching uranium again, you bomb them again. 0.90

00:29:55.720 Get rid of their ability to make nuclear weapons. 0.92

00:29:59.780 There you go. 0.95

00:30:00.300 But to use that as an excuse for what is going on now, and again, I don't even know what this is, Iran has a great ace in the hole, and it's the Straits of Hormuz. 0.85

00:30:15.380 That is a great leverage that they have, and they're not weakened to the point where they can't do damage in the Straits. 0.68

00:30:25.400 Just before the show, they hit another ship with anti-ship missiles,

00:30:35.000 and it wasn't even in the Straits.

00:30:37.200 It was like off the coast of Oman.

00:30:41.320 So they're still doing damage. 1.00

00:30:45.080 And from what I hear from Trump, we're killing them. 0.99

00:30:48.980 They're going to be gone as a country, and then they're the most awesome people ever, 0.99

00:30:52.940 and we're dealing with them and we'll be having dinner tomorrow.

00:30:57.460 And I'm not supposed to look at that and go, fool me once, shame on, fool twice, won't get fooled again.

00:31:08.840 One of my favorite George W. Bush quotes ever.

00:31:12.780 Won't get fooled again.

00:31:14.020 He quoted the who.

00:31:16.040 Amazing.

00:31:17.560 But, yeah, we're in a situation where I'm not going to sit back and because I support Trump

00:31:22.500 And I voted for him, and I love a lot of what he's doing domestically.

00:31:28.500 He could do more.

00:31:29.760 I get that, too. 0.98

00:31:31.220 But that I'm not going to criticize the crap out of what's going on in Iran. 1.00

00:31:37.600 Iran. 0.76

00:32:08.360 now it seems iran is making demands on the united states i thought they were on the verge of

00:32:18.000 complete surrender so this is a clip ac 17 for the techs uh this is this seems to be iran's

00:32:28.260 latest demands on the u.s i can't even believe that they would do this uh that they're in a

00:32:36.320 situation where they're not cowering in their bunkers and they're actually making demands

00:32:40.520 uh let's give this a listen well we finally have news from inside iran but brace yourself

00:32:46.720 It's not going to go down well in Washington or here in Doha or in Riyadh or in Abu Dhabi across the Middle East. 0.89

00:32:53.960 The Iranians have now issued a series of demands they are making of the United States 0.65

00:33:00.500 before they are prepared to reopen the Strait of Hamos.

00:33:03.540 So those demands include that Iran should be paid substantial amounts of money,

00:33:08.740 like the lifting of sanctions, that U.S. forces, naval and air included, should be removed,

00:33:18.300 should leave this region, and that the United States should agree not to target or even say

00:33:25.220 anything bad about Iran, and not to target its proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis.

00:33:33.640 Now, we've been waiting for days for news from Tehran about the negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

00:33:40.840 We were told by the Trump administration and also by the Iranians that it would come soon.

00:33:45.980 Then there were reports from inside Iran of demands that included that vessels should have to pay to pass through the straits.

00:33:53.140 And that U.S. and Israeli ships would not be allowed to pass through.

00:33:57.420 And now this, I want to read those Iranian demands to you because it's important to get the language right and the detail.

00:34:02.560 This is from the Secretary of the Supreme National Council of Iran.

00:34:08.040 It says, in order for the Strait of Hamuz to be reopened,

00:34:11.040 America can never threaten Iran in any language or insult the sanctities of the nation.

00:34:17.900 It says it will permanently, America, end the war and aggression against Iran

00:34:23.860 and Iran's allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq,

00:34:27.980 that America will withdraw its naval blockade and its military forces.

00:34:32.280 you got naval and air from around iran it says america will fully and without any reduction

00:34:39.960 pay the damages caused to iran damage in wars so that's not just a war this year 2026 but the war

00:34:46.000 in 2025 targeting iran's nuclear capability that america will lift the unjust and illegal sanctions

00:34:52.460 against the iranian people and that it will unconditionally release the frozen and stolen

00:34:56.820 assets of the iranian people now at the same time the president that that now honestly does that

00:35:05.540 sound like a nation that is cowering and is on the brink of surrender and is so petrified that

00:35:14.740 uh the united states is uh gonna bomb them into the stone age or does that sound like a nation 0.99

00:35:22.200 that would whip it out and urinate all over you. 0.87

00:35:31.100 I don't think they sound scared.

00:35:33.560 I don't think they sound like a nation that is ready to bend the knee.

00:35:40.680 And we get mixed messages every single day on the status of this from Donald Trump,

00:35:50.120 from Donald Trump himself.

00:35:52.200 And, you know, I like when Donald Trump pulls stuff over on the opposition.

00:36:00.180 I like when he says things and gets the left and the socialists and everybody gets them all pissed off.

00:36:08.400 Don't do it to your base.

00:36:11.140 Don't sit there and lie to your support, to your base about this stuff.

00:36:19.940 are we leaving is there a peace plan or are we going to completely level the place

00:36:29.880 that seems to be the three options iran still has 100 percent capability to blow up any ship

00:36:42.000 that goes through the straits any ship and they're talking about uh us and every other

00:36:49.280 nation having to pay a toll to get through to them that america and israel will not be able to 0.98

00:36:55.740 even use the straits they've floated that one and and i'm supposed to just go oh those dumb 0.96

00:37:04.020 iranians trump is playing 3d 4d chess 4 5d chess now yeah on us on us oh look at anthony 0.98

00:37:19.280 oh now he's all against trump and this and that and the other thing

00:37:25.620 i am using my own mind people and like i said i support trump on many things

00:37:34.680 but not this i am not on board when it comes to what the hell is going on

00:37:42.320 in uh in iran uh all right got a couple of calls about what we're talking about

00:37:48.860 earlier of course feel free to call about this i know this is a controversial topic 800-848-9222

00:37:58.840 and uh let's say this i can't believe it's max max in new york city what's up my friend

00:38:05.320 anthony thank you for taking my call sure i uh i think that we consider mom donnie doing a poor

00:38:15.180 job but in his eyes he's doing a very good job yeah why because he's having the city fall

00:38:22.520 he's releasing criminals that are attacking people on the street and people in the street

00:38:27.000 are falling this is part of the red green axis the the push of communism or something uh something 0.62

00:38:34.160 to the extreme left and once we fall he hands us a green hand a green hand meaning islam and this 0.73

00:38:41.700 will raise us up this is his interpretation yeah so this so he's running a very good good campaign

00:38:48.980 we're thinking he's an awful an awful mayor but no in his eyes he's doing a good job and you can

00:38:54.040 see you you can see the same thing is happening to el sayed the same thing the same thing with 0.97

00:38:58.820 the nine previous mayors from england they all pull that same excrement and now he's doing it 0.98

00:39:05.580 to us yeah look did you see that uh when they had a 42nd street meeting with all the muslims 0.98

00:39:10.160 praying yep there was one guy who got up and he said you americans think that we want to take over

00:39:15.600 new york city and he said no that's not true we have taken over new york city yeah they're very

00:39:20.960 happy very proud of it this guy has this guy has videos on youtube his name is sq way of life 0.92

00:39:29.000 it sounds like a stupid pen name yeah that he chose to be an imam but we're we're asleep all

00:39:36.440 it has if we if we're waiting for some sort of attack on iran or with iran or some sort of war 0.99

00:39:41.400 we are going to be totally distracted if if this happens what it what will happen probably is that

00:39:47.400 we'll be attacked by dear bornistan and plano texas all of a sudden they'll get control over 0.64

00:39:53.000 there minneapolis minnesota is uh an enclave of islam and yeah the people don't seem to understand 0.73

00:40:00.780 this and it's happening every day we're seeing these new candidates come about and they're 0.98

00:40:05.220 muslims and socialists uh democrats socialists and there is a a mentally ill portion of this 0.95

00:40:14.220 country that are voting for these people and that's the thing i really don't understand 0.96

00:40:19.080 uh you can almost understand people that want to conquer a nation i don't understand the people in

00:40:24.780 the nation that are inviting them in and uh with a smile on their face giving them their throat

00:40:32.000 Yes, yes, I agree.

00:40:33.420 And maybe there's something to be said of what Thomas Jefferson said.

00:40:36.260 He said, every 20 years, the tree of liberty has to be watered,

00:40:41.660 but with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

00:40:46.180 Yes.

00:40:46.600 So maybe there's something to it.

00:40:47.940 It sounds very far, way off, and it's out of our stream of mind,

00:40:51.900 and it's almost another vocabulary.

00:40:54.060 But he might have had something there.

00:40:56.560 Like Jeff Spicoli said, Thomas Jefferson said,

00:41:00.420 we left this England place because it was bogus.

00:41:05.780 Thanks, Max.

00:41:06.520 Put it in the vernacular.

00:41:07.540 Appreciate it, man.

00:41:33.340 and uh what he's doing is he's playing the long game he's not doing a lot of quick things that 0.89

00:41:41.760 are very uh communist aside from the stupid grocery store and everything but then they're 0.97

00:41:47.520 always presented as helping people and the downtrodden and the poor impoverished he's got 0.99

00:41:55.100 to get these stores in place these grocery stores and then he tries to get the free buses and that

00:42:00.680 doesn't work child care health care for all low rent that they all of his stuff when when you put

00:42:07.560 all that together it's very damaging to a city financially and uh man morale wise uh but he 0.98

00:42:18.320 tries to make each one seem like he's helping so much he's such a help to everybody and the dumb 0.62

00:42:24.740 sheep go for it you know they think he's the uh the greatest i saw people women especially 0.97

00:42:32.020 liberal women ugh uh crying because they didn't live in new york when memdani was elected they

00:42:39.360 wanted to uh vote for memdani and the cry go why i wish i was in new york to vote for him

00:42:47.140 and they got the nose ring and the whole uh the usual look you know because they want to be so

00:42:53.380 independent and different than everybody else so they dress exactly the same they have the same

00:42:59.140 bat crap crazy ideology the same hair color and oh god it is uh it is frustrating i see it going 0.90

00:43:11.420 on you know when i visit here i walk the sidewalks and it's just everything stinks of weed 0.99

00:43:17.540 As a young man, I never thought I'd get tired of smelling weed or get like, why is everything smell like weed?

00:43:26.060 But when you walk around and it's the constant smell of weed, you used to walk around New York City and, you know, sometimes it was terrible feces and urine on a nice summer day.

00:43:37.720 But occasionally, you know, a steakhouse, you'd pass by a steakhouse, be like, oh, that's good.

00:43:44.080 Or pizza place.

00:43:47.060 Now it's just weed.

00:43:49.380 Every single place you go, it just smells like weed.

00:43:54.380 I saw a great clip. 0.96

00:43:55.960 It was some woman telling a table full of people they had to leave a restaurant because they smelled like weed.

00:44:01.860 And I don't think that would have happened up until very recently.

00:44:06.700 I think people have had it.

00:44:08.940 A lot of people that live in this country that just want to live in a civil, nice society have effing had it.

00:44:19.360 And they're speaking up.

00:44:21.280 They're finally saying, yeah, we don't want this.

00:44:25.520 I don't care if you're labeling me this or that.

00:44:28.720 I'm a phobe. 0.92

00:44:29.620 I'm an ist.

00:44:31.040 But whatever it is, whatever label they want to put on you, they don't seem to care as much anymore.

00:44:36.380 People used to be petrified of that.

00:44:38.940 Used to be so scared of being called a racist or homophobic or transphobic. 1.00

00:44:44.760 Now they just go, yeah, screw you. 0.99

00:44:47.260 I don't like what is going on, and I'm going to speak my mind about it. 0.99

00:44:50.920 So that's cool.

00:44:52.080 All right, back in moments.

00:44:53.880 More of your calls and a lot more of the Anthony Cummings Show.

00:44:56.920 Hey, it is the Anthony Cummings Show.

00:45:00.100 Welcome.

00:45:01.620 Wonderful Sunday evening.

00:45:04.060 Summer just ticks away, doesn't it?

00:45:06.300 Oh, man.

00:45:07.260 And it's weird these days.

00:45:09.760 What is it, climate change?

00:45:11.800 It just seems like the front end of summer happens a little earlier, especially down south.

00:45:21.420 I don't know, up here, it seemed to be cold for quite some time.

00:45:24.600 It just seems like summer is a lot shorter.

00:45:27.200 It doesn't really start getting warm until midway through June.

00:45:31.420 And then by midway through August, you start getting cold weather coming in.

00:45:36.260 I see that's in store for you guys in New York here.

00:45:40.900 I'll be getting my ass back down to South Carolina where the weather map is still red.

00:45:47.820 Nice. 0.97

00:45:48.940 And the politics still red.

00:45:52.980 Boy, how fun.

00:45:55.020 Who thought anyone would ever say this? 1.00

00:45:57.140 How fun is the WNBA these days? 0.88

00:46:01.360 I never thought I'd have any interest in it.

00:46:04.740 And I don't, because of basketball, I don't even like the NBA as far as sport goes.

00:46:11.900 It's a boring game.

00:46:14.380 Scoring a goal is the biggest part of any sport.

00:46:19.640 If you're a fan, you want to watch your team score a goal.

00:46:24.880 Football, a touchdown, it's amazing.

00:46:26.820 A home run being slammed in baseball.

00:46:29.360 A hockey goal is exciting.

00:46:31.320 the place stands up

00:46:32.800 the buzzer goes off

00:46:35.760 basketball

00:46:37.440 is

00:46:38.880 every two seconds

00:46:40.740 this score, it gets a little redundant

00:46:43.740 it gets a little boring

00:46:45.860 score, two points

00:46:49.440 score, two points

00:46:52.380 we get it

00:46:54.160 oh, three points, yay

00:46:55.880 what's the score?

00:46:57.360 oh, it's 110

00:46:58.700 to 112

00:47:00.860 well, no sport should have a score that high.

00:47:05.080 So I find it boring. 1.00

00:47:07.660 And WNBA, I mean, you're putting boring on top of boring. 0.83

00:47:13.960 Now the same boring game with people that really aren't good at the game 0.98

00:47:21.280 for the most part. 0.95

00:47:23.500 Angel Reese, I never would have known this broad's name. 0.98

00:47:27.720 Talking like it's the 50s. 0.96

00:47:28.960 Who is this broad?

00:47:31.140 Never would have even known her name if it wasn't for the controversy 0.95

00:47:36.180 that has ramped up in the WNBA. 1.00

00:47:40.200 And that is the only reason anyone gives a crap about the WNBA. 0.71

00:47:46.780 No one's talking about the amazing gameplay. 0.97

00:47:51.460 It's, did you see this one get cracked in the face?

00:47:55.740 Did you see this one get choked? 0.68

00:47:58.960 Did you see this girl call this one, say that the foul was white privilege? 1.00

00:48:06.160 And it's the only reason anybody is watching the WNBA because it sucks. 0.92

00:48:17.000 So I guess a lot of people are getting on the should trans men, women, sorry, also confusing, 0.64

00:48:27.060 be allowed to compete in the WNBA.

00:48:31.000 If you've got somebody that was born a guy

00:48:33.120 and has decided through so much self-reflection

00:48:38.280 and thought that they should put a dress and a wig on 0.98

00:48:42.220 and play against girls and beat the crap out of them. 0.87

00:48:49.300 So a lot of people in the WNBA being as liberal, woke, 1.00

00:48:54.660 whatever you want to call it, as they are, 1.00

00:48:56.100 They cannot bring themselves to just say, well, no, this is a woman's sport. 1.00

00:49:01.240 We can't have guys throwing the girls around the court. 0.99

00:49:06.200 So they can't even bring themselves to say it.

00:49:09.100 So a few of these guys that were NBA stars have come forward and said, hey, we're going to play.

00:49:19.180 We are now going to play in the WNBA because I am now a woman.

00:49:23.980 i i've done some reflection and i'm transgender which is hilarious the fact that they're calling

00:49:33.200 this out in a way that the people involved in the w nba can't even refute it they can't say oh no

00:49:41.660 you're not you're a guy well you can't even tell anyone what a woman is so how do you know and what

00:49:49.760 Are you going to tell me what my feelings are and how I feel about myself?

00:49:55.760 And you're going to tell me I'm not a woman as much as you are?

00:50:01.160 And they painted themselves into a corner with this, and it's hilarious.

00:50:08.400 So here's a – who is this?

00:50:12.000 Let me see.

00:50:14.400 I got my show prep all over the place.

00:50:17.900 I didn't put it in order.

00:50:19.080 always happens when I'm here in

00:50:21.040 New York

00:50:22.300 where's the guy the NBA star

00:50:25.540 yes that guy

00:50:27.560 thank you Booth

00:50:28.520 yeah let's please because this is hilarious

00:50:31.480 let's listen

00:50:32.260 you know right

00:50:35.560 right now I'm just I'm just having a

00:50:37.540 blast in my feminine era I never thought that

00:50:39.500 I was a woman

00:50:41.440 you know I've always

00:50:43.420 trusted the science and I thought I was a man my

00:50:45.460 entire life but you know after further

00:50:47.500 review uh you know look strong look at my my personal preferences it would appear that that

00:50:53.440 i am indeed uh sometimes identifying as a transgender woman and i think it's only fair

00:50:58.300 i get a chance to play with some of my queens uh here in the twilight of my career my athletic

00:51:03.260 prime well and so exactly what you're saying royce is just sort of uh unveils pulls the

00:51:11.940 Turn back on the lack of clarity in the WNBA's policies under Article 8 of their 2026 collective bargaining agreement.

00:51:21.220 It's simply.

00:51:21.980 That's great.

00:51:23.200 That is so funny.

00:51:25.240 They just painted themselves in a corner.

00:51:27.980 They've opened up themselves to having guys who would destroy any woman on the court.

00:51:37.320 and they've opened themselves up to having these guys get out there

00:51:41.220 and play as women.

00:51:43.900 That's how insane everything on this planet has gotten in 2026. 1.00

00:51:51.800 I couldn't be happier.

00:51:53.500 Got a few more clips and things about that and your calls

00:51:56.520 when we come back with more of the Anthony Cumia Show right after this.

00:52:01.900 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:52:03.620 and uh during the break i was scrolling through my x account anthony cumia on x and uh lo and

00:52:11.620 behold you know exactly what i said uh here's rowdy yates he goes about the iran situation

00:52:21.160 why do you care literally nothing about this war is affecting you other than hearing you come uh 0.99

00:52:28.100 hearing complaints from your little bitch boy, Nick, Nick Fuentes. 0.98

00:52:34.600 I, what does that have to do with anything? 1.00

00:52:38.140 And do you really think that this isn't affecting the people of this country?

00:52:43.940 Individuals?

00:52:45.120 Have you seen the price of gas, which affects the price of everything?

00:52:51.640 And again, can't I criticize?

00:52:54.780 can't i support the president but criticize one of his policies or actions i guess not

00:53:04.740 not as far as some of these people are concerned and then uh the great mr moist daddy i'm taking

00:53:13.900 uh i'm taking very seriously what moist daddy 45 has to say on x he goes again just what we

00:53:24.580 need the only conservative voice worth listening to anymore wants to also bash trump way to go

00:53:31.820 it's astounding that as a trump supporter you cannot even criticize

00:53:42.460 uh some of the stuff he does i'm supposed to just toe the company line

00:53:50.480 uh support every single thing he does not criticize it i don't want to be that guy

00:53:58.960 i certainly don't want to be that guy i want to be able to look at what's being done

00:54:04.760 and uh either agree with it or disagree with it and be able to voice my opinion on it

00:54:10.280 i i really don't understand it uh let's go to joaquin there in the commonwealth of pa

00:54:19.680 Joaquin, what's up, my friend?

00:54:21.820 Good evening, Anthony.

00:54:22.840 I got a couple things for you, actually.

00:54:24.820 Upon further deep self-introspection, I've come to the determination that, yes, 0.97

00:54:28.800 I am indeed a transgender woman who just happens to be a butch lesbian. 0.98

00:54:33.160 There you go. 1.00

00:54:33.720 I like to dress like a man, and I like women. 0.99

00:54:38.220 Godspeed.

00:54:38.760 Good luck to you in that endeavor.

00:54:40.880 Yeah. 0.94

00:54:41.680 So, anyway, it's interesting how I live up here, you know, in the bum F. 1.00

00:54:45.640 Bucanos, right? 0.99

00:54:46.480 Yeah.

00:54:46.720 And it's interesting how all the state roads around me, they get repaved.

00:54:53.060 How is that possible?

00:54:54.680 I mean, I don't think that there's a tax place like there is in New York City.

00:54:58.760 Yeah, not like New York City, that's for sure.

00:55:01.060 But somehow things get fixed and things get done.

00:55:04.120 It's because some states actually use their revenue to do for their constituents what needs to be done.

00:55:12.960 Not New York, not California, not plenty of those states.

00:55:16.720 But good luck.

00:55:18.520 Lucky you.

00:55:19.360 You get to live in that state.

00:55:20.900 Yeah.

00:55:21.380 Yeah.

00:55:21.860 What you want to say something about Trump, though, and Iran.

00:55:24.800 Yes.

00:55:25.100 About Iran.

00:55:26.100 Honestly, this is my own personal opinion.

00:55:28.400 This is not Donald Trump that we're witnessing here.

00:55:30.800 OK, Trump in the beginning, especially his first administration, was very decisive.

00:55:34.680 And unfortunately, there was a deep state establishment that did everything to take him out.

00:55:38.740 Yeah.

00:55:39.100 You know, even from Russia collusion that everyone participated in.

00:55:42.300 To literally trying to kill him. 0.80

00:55:45.240 Yes.

00:55:45.660 you know i i'm sorry but i believe he got the message and this has just been orchestrated

00:55:50.780 to make him look bad you know to make the maga america first movement look bad because i'm sorry

00:55:56.960 if it was me and i'm sure that that you know trump number one from 45 would have gone into iran and

00:56:02.840 would have taken the place out and i have more suspicions because i still don't understand why

00:56:07.300 they took iraq took saddam hussein out because he was a natural enemy to the iranians you know so

00:56:13.260 So there's just something much deeper going on here than meets the eye.

00:56:16.740 And the ultimate probably agenda is to take out Trump and the America First agenda and to make it look bad.

00:56:23.860 Because so far, you know, they said Obama painted lines in the sand, you know, and constantly Syria, whoever crossed the line, he did nothing.

00:56:32.020 Yeah. And if you remember the red line, 45 was at the dinner with Xi Jinping.

00:56:36.540 And then he sent missiles, I believe, into Syria someplace.

00:56:39.500 Yeah. While he was at dinner, you know, making a point.

00:56:41.740 this is not this is not the same donald trump no it isn't and and i i really i'm surprised there

00:56:49.780 are so many people that do speak up and say you know what are you doing why aren't you supporting

00:56:54.480 him and especially going into the midterms yeah especially going into the midterms it doesn't

00:57:00.900 matter what i say or what someone else says uh criticizing trump it's the actions and i think

00:57:08.020 we are going to pay dearly in november which is no time away by the way uh we are going to pay

00:57:14.380 dearly very interesting though with this continuing never interesting doesn't that make the hairs on

00:57:19.200 your neck kind of stand up and make you wonder what actually is going on yeah it's never what

00:57:23.720 it seems it's never what we're being fed you are absolutely right there's things going on behind

00:57:28.400 the scenes um but uh what you said at the beginning of the call about trump um getting the message

00:57:36.100 uh what else could it be then he got the message people got to him and said here's what happens

00:57:44.940 when you don't capitulate and i think that happened i hate to i hate it but what other

00:57:51.780 where else could i go with this thank you joaquin appreciate the phone call always good always a

00:57:58.980 good call with joaquin but you know it's me i'm the one that is saying stuff that's terrible

00:58:05.860 and not fair, I guess.

00:58:09.260 But Sondra, the lovely Sondra in Jersey,

00:58:12.780 she says Trump is not being treated fairly.

00:58:16.480 Well, I want to say a couple.

00:58:18.260 First, I want to say to Joaquin, I'm not angry at him just so he knows.

00:58:22.100 Number two, I miss talking to you,

00:58:24.180 but I'm very busy doing other things as well.

00:58:26.940 But I'm here tonight.

00:58:28.360 And three, I wanted to talk about Trump for a second.

00:58:31.640 All right.

00:58:32.160 You know, let's think about this.

00:58:34.220 this man has apps and I like what Joaquin said too this man has absolutely no privacy we all

00:58:42.240 have these cell phones we all know everything he's running a war and he has no privacy I looked at

00:58:49.960 the president's I have a list of all the presidents in my kitchen and I know that from John F. Kennedy

00:58:55.920 going backwards those guys didn't have the whole world knowing everything they were doing so I feel

00:59:02.080 very sorry for trump that he has to put up with all these nosy bars i'm just that's how i feel

00:59:07.700 about that all right that's but look uh technology is what it is time moves on we uh we have a lot

00:59:16.560 more access to what the president's doing yeah but anthony would you want to be the president

00:59:22.920 if this is how it is everyone knowing every little thing that he does he has no privacy

00:59:27.780 and he says something then you something oh it's the boy who cried wolf because that's what i was

00:59:32.720 saying but i thought about it it's because we all know every little thick and multi makes and we

00:59:38.020 react and we start talking and it's just a shame that this is happening but sondra let me ask you

00:59:43.900 something sondra what does trump look like a decisive confident president when almost every

00:59:52.460 single day for the past 10 times i think he's gone from we are blowing them off the face of the earth

00:59:59.980 to wonderful people that were i just it doesn't look good it's not a good no sondra it's not his

01:00:07.000 fault because we're not supposed to know everything every single day that's going on if we didn't have

01:00:12.760 these phones and if everyone didn't start talking we would have an answer once a week like every

01:00:17.700 talking had okay what i was just doing a line from uh because from uh uh goodfellas don't worry

01:00:25.580 you're always talking you want to hear one more thing please okay and this you know i've been

01:00:32.680 thinking about this because it happened to me and it was very very nice and it keeps coming in my

01:00:37.660 mind so it was a very very hot day a few weeks ago maybe 100 degrees and i was wearing a lovely

01:00:44.620 white sundress i was wearing a white hat and my white little sandals and i went i was in a good

01:00:51.000 mood and i'm going to dunkin donuts to get my latte so i'm there and looking like america's

01:00:56.920 sweetheart mary pickford but listen to what happened so there were these two women in there 0.87

01:01:02.900 as well and they were muslim and they were dressed from the bottom to the top with heavy heavy 0.80

01:01:10.100 material and the only and the only thing i saw was the face now one woman comes over to me and

01:01:16.820 says you know you look beautiful and i looked at her and i said thank you thank you very much and

01:01:23.280 she said it again so i so that was nice to get a compliment but that's not my point my point is

01:01:29.740 i'm wondering get to it i wish she i bet she wishes she could dress not like exactly she's

01:01:37.200 looking at you going thinking oh that's beautiful and i wish i could do that and be beautiful 0.96

01:01:42.600 exactly but sandra you know what she's doing she's empowering herself as a female that's empowering

01:01:49.060 wrapping yourself up in a burqa and a hajib and and walking uh behind your man and uh having your

01:01:57.760 man tell you everything you can and can't do in life uh you talk to liberals and people that call

01:02:03.180 you islamophobic and things they will tell you that it's so empowering to women

01:02:08.320 let me tell you i could never i could never be like that of course not sandra thank you for the

01:02:15.360 call and uh i have to uh move along on that one but again it's you know sandra she's a sweetheart

01:02:23.200 she calls every week i love her but again it's not trump's fault i i i can't run with that

01:02:31.820 I understand privacy is something that's a commodity these days with the technology that we have.

01:02:38.620 But as a president, you do have the ability to not go on every day and claim that it's now totally different than what you said yesterday.

01:02:50.040 And then the next day, it's back to being what you did say on the first day.

01:02:54.520 That's not the privacy that we do or don't have these days.

01:03:02.440 It's not the fault of technology and phones and the media.

01:03:08.280 He's making the conscious decision to go on every day and say that we're either blowing them up or we're almost in a peace deal here.

01:03:22.540 so what what am i supposed to just go oh okay oh it's not his fault he's the president

01:03:29.960 it is his fault it's his decisions i think trump was given a false bill of goods

01:03:37.140 and and he was convinced uh that this was going to be easy and iran was going to fold

01:03:44.720 and the iranian people were going to rise up against uh the government and all the same

01:03:51.260 nonsense we've heard over the course of years and years

01:03:53.300 and years with other nations 0.97

01:03:55.360 like Iraq

01:03:56.600 and it just doesn't happen that way 0.97

01:03:59.080 and I'm tired of it and I'm

01:04:01.260 not just going to defend Trump because

01:04:02.840 I support him, which I do

01:04:04.800 to this day. I don't regret

01:04:07.120 for a second that

01:04:09.140 he was elected

01:04:10.920 and that I voted for him. Don't get me

01:04:13.180 wrong, but this just isn't

01:04:15.040 going well is what I'm saying.

01:04:16.980 Back in a minute, it is the Anthony

01:04:18.940 Cumia show and

01:04:20.820 But, yeah, a lot of things going on.

01:04:23.440 The Iran situation, took a couple of calls on that.

01:04:28.540 I've looked at my social media.

01:04:30.080 Some people not very happy that I am not even criticizing.

01:04:37.180 Well, it is criticizing, but it's more my take on it.

01:04:40.240 I don't like what I'm seeing.

01:04:42.500 I don't like what's going on.

01:04:43.680 I don't like not knowing.

01:04:45.440 Look, I shouldn't be privy to military operations of the United States of America at this point,

01:04:52.020 but I would like to know what we're doing, why we're there, why we're doing this,

01:04:58.060 and what the endgame is, when we'll be done.

01:05:03.040 And it seems like we're getting mixed up in some type of a Kobayashi Maru, as they say,

01:05:08.740 in Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan.

01:05:12.540 He tasks me. He tasks me.

01:05:15.440 Uh, we also were talking about the transgender athletes in the WNBA, and this is just hilarious. This is something that would be absolute common sense, absolute common sense just a few years ago.

01:05:34.560 And now there are discussions going on.

01:05:38.380 The WNBA has said they need to hold a meeting.

01:05:42.940 They need to hold some type of conference between the leadership elements of the WNBA 0.99

01:05:50.640 because they need to figure out what a woman is. 1.00

01:05:55.320 And if a professional NBA player wants to join and play in the WNBA, 1.00

01:06:03.140 he should be able to 1.00

01:06:05.580 if he declares he is a woman

01:06:07.260 that's what I see 1.00

01:06:08.740 that is absolutely what I see

01:06:11.320 they painted themselves into that corner

01:06:13.640 and

01:06:14.600 this is

01:06:17.060 Megan Rapinoe

01:06:19.260 you might remember her 0.62

01:06:20.140 she was on the women's soccer team

01:06:22.380 and she's talking about

01:06:25.220 Sophie Cunningham and Riley Gaines

01:06:27.100 and she of course has an issue

01:06:29.380 she's such a strong 1.00

01:06:31.520 woman and wants uh women's rights and and women to be able to compete fairly uh that she wants 0.87

01:06:38.920 men to compete with them i'll never understand this i'll never understand how a woman in her 0.99

01:06:45.820 right mind maybe that's the problem megan rapino never seemed to be in her right mind wants to

01:06:51.660 bring men into women's sports and somehow that's supporting women none of it makes sense it's

01:07:00.160 mental but uh this is megan rapinoe you got the clip thank you sir in an interview with espn

01:07:08.100 cunningham emphasized how she wanted to protect quote-unquote young girls in the locker quote

01:07:14.480 unquote after the article was published cunningham defended her comments and was recently photographed

01:07:19.820 with riley gains at an indiana fever game i don't know sophie so i can only project what i see about

01:07:26.780 her beliefs based on her actions and seeing a picture of her with riley gaines after the game

01:07:34.200 told me everything i need to know about what's happening riley gaines has made it her life's

01:07:38.640 mission to exclude trans people from public life she's directly tied to the heritage foundation

01:07:44.720 exclude from public life is that what riley gaines was saying has she ever said that or did she say

01:07:54.640 that women should never have to compete against men in sports. 0.99

01:08:00.900 That when you have men involved in women's sports, 0.95

01:08:05.180 and I don't care trans women that are men that were men, 0.94

01:08:09.120 they are women, I don't care. 0.98

01:08:12.240 Semantics, if you ask me.

01:08:15.720 If you are saying that men should be involved in some way 0.97

01:08:20.040 in women's sports like that, you are not supportive of women.

01:08:23.780 Riley Gaines has only spoken about keeping transgender women out of women's sports,

01:08:31.220 not out of society, not scrubbed off the face of the earth. 1.00

01:08:36.780 This is so reasonable and so logical, and most people agree with this. 0.72

01:08:43.780 So you get someone like Megan Rapinoe that wants women to be at a grave disadvantage. 1.00

01:08:50.620 She wants girls that have worked their entire lives on a sport. 1.00

01:08:56.820 You get these girls, they start taking an interest in these sports when they're four years old. 0.92

01:09:02.540 And their parents, the amount of money driving them around to practices, the money it takes for the equipment.

01:09:09.980 And then they finally get an opportunity in high school to get a scholarship to college or maybe even a spot on an Olympic team.

01:09:20.620 And that gets taken away because some guy that decided he was a woman a year ago is now good enough to compete against women and get that spot, get that scholarship or that spot on the Olympics or that endorsement deal, that lucrative endorsement deal.

01:09:42.900 that's supportive of women

01:09:46.140 that's something that 1.00

01:09:47.840 Megan Rapinoe looks at 1.00

01:09:49.900 Riley Gaines and sees 1.00

01:09:52.000 Sophie Cunningham hanging out with Riley Gaines 0.76

01:09:54.160 like she's hanging out with Hitler

01:09:56.180 Sophie Cunningham

01:09:58.280 is hanging out with a woman that

01:10:00.100 agrees that women

01:10:02.220 should not have to compete

01:10:04.080 against men

01:10:05.020 in these sports 0.97

01:10:07.180 it's disgusting

01:10:08.480 any more of that clip? Let's listen to a little more

01:10:11.560 Megan Rapinoe, who have now published a report that suggests that they want to repeal Title IX,

01:10:18.680 the very piece of legislation that allowed athletes like Sophie and myself to compete

01:10:25.900 in sports. Sophie has claimed both to love trans people and support Title IX. And this is where I

01:10:32.360 think the accountability with having a major platform is extremely important. You can hear it

01:10:37.580 even in the language being used,

01:10:39.740 that the root of trans exclusion

01:10:42.260 is to protect young girls from men.

01:10:46.400 To be clear, I would love to have that conversation,

01:10:49.560 and it's much needed in this country.

01:10:51.540 But it frames the conversation

01:10:52.860 as if we're protecting young girls from men

01:10:56.820 being in WNBA locker rooms.

01:10:59.820 Not happening. 1.00

01:11:00.600 It villainizes trans girls 1.00

01:11:03.000 as if they're somehow magically older than their peers 0.89

01:11:06.500 or are men when in reality they are also young girls oh my these laws are excluding kids

01:11:14.540 kids from playing youth sports if we want to have a conversation around elite sports you could

01:11:21.240 cut her off yeah unbelievable do you hear this nonsense this insanity title nine she's talking 0.97

01:11:31.920 about title nine which uh gives her and people like sophie cunningham and riley gains the right

01:11:40.020 to compete in sports um what was tight let me see uh no person in the united states uh

01:11:48.680 shall on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in be denied the benefits of

01:11:54.700 or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal

01:12:01.260 financial assistance yeah men and women women if a woman is playing a sport you can't say we don't

01:12:09.560 like women playing this sport so uh we're cutting off financial uh funding federal funding that's

01:12:17.580 a problem that's title nine title nine doesn't allow a a man who decided he's a woman to now

01:12:26.420 compete against these women it's totally different and mega rapinoe is saying that a trans woman is

01:12:33.040 exactly like her and exactly like sophie cunningham and riley gains and that preventing them

01:12:40.240 from competing is preventing young girls from competing same exact thing this to me is bat 0.99

01:12:50.020 crap crazy crazy talk and there are she's not alone i would love to think that megan rapino 0.98

01:12:59.420 is alone you could put her in a dungeon at a mental institution and never again 1.00

01:13:06.400 hear uh drivel like she is spewing but there are so many people that believe this 0.97

01:13:14.880 and I just appreciate the pushback from people like Sophie and Riley

01:13:19.820 who have paid a price

01:13:21.760 they have paid a price

01:13:23.460 there are people that do not want them to be able to speak their mind

01:13:28.280 that want to label them with the transphobic tag

01:13:33.760 and they would love to see them pay with their careers

01:13:38.000 we've seen it before

01:13:39.940 People love to get other people fired for doing nothing more than having an opposing opinion than they have.

01:13:48.600 And how is their opinion any more offensive or oppressive than Megan Rapinoe's opinion on this? 0.66

01:13:59.480 Megan's opinion is nuts.

01:14:01.960 That is crazy talk.

01:14:03.360 all right don't you go anywhere back with your calls and a lot more of the anthony cumia show

01:14:09.260 when we continue it's the anthony cumia show a lot on the table uh this evening let's speak with

01:14:16.360 eric from orlando florida eric what's up man hey what's up anthony hanging having a good sunday

01:14:24.340 you know when i'm listening to this whole thing about trump with this iran thing i actually do

01:14:29.460 agree with you because i get tired of it going back and forth all the time it's like first off

01:14:34.740 when he said it's going to take about maybe four to six weeks first off you should never even

01:14:38.740 announce how long it's going to take you don't want the other side to know how long it takes

01:14:42.560 otherwise they'll do everything they can to keep you longer and make you look right that's number

01:14:47.900 one number two if it was me i would have nuked them to the stone age already because i don't

01:14:53.020 really care what people think well that's an option and at least it would be something decisive

01:14:59.740 That's the thing.

01:15:00.700 When I look at things like the stock market or especially oil futures, why wouldn't I believe some of these people that are supposedly conspiracy theorists saying this is so people can speculate on oil and make money?

01:15:17.580 And then I look at the statistics and the graphs and the price, and you see that every time Trump says that there's a peace deal in place, the price of oil goes down.

01:15:30.360 And then every time there's a problem and he says he's going to nuke him into the Stone Age, the price of oil goes up.

01:15:36.980 And these people that are speculating on this are making a fortune.

01:15:41.060 And I'm just supposed to say, no, that's a coincidence or it's just people making money off of politics and not say to myself, huh, I wonder who's making money on this.

01:15:56.200 And maybe that is at least one of the motives for zigzagging back and forth on what he says every day.

01:16:05.760 see basically the best thing you do is just keep quiet about saying what you're going to do and

01:16:10.420 just do it and give them a good blitzkrieg basically well unless unless saying it is part

01:16:16.780 of the plan and uh you know making money or allowing other people to make money um if you do

01:16:24.200 that you know i don't know am i supposed to just blindly say oh he's not doing that i don't like

01:16:31.940 what's going on right now uh with this iran thing and i'm gonna say it i'm not gonna just because i

01:16:38.560 support trump not say it so uh eric thank you man i appreciate the call orlando i don't know why

01:16:46.520 everyone thinks of orlando uh they think of disney it's like oh orlando that's disney right have you

01:16:52.780 ever been to orlando proper the city of orlando it certainly is not disney i assure you it is not

01:17:04.040 disney um other things going on this uh guy he's running for uh michigan uh for senator from

01:17:16.280 michigan abdul al-sayed i i never in my wildest hallucinations would have thought we'd have

01:17:30.500 people like zoran mamdani and abdul al-sayed and all of these other muslims uh that are running

01:17:42.240 for office are in office already uh in this country what the hell happened we're coming up

01:17:53.240 on the 25th anniversary of september 11th what's the date of that right september 11th uh we're 0.99

01:18:02.860 coming up on 25 years and our country is being invaded by islam do you know they're getting 0.99

01:18:13.100 pretty wise they're getting pretty um ballsy uh they don't like the idea that in some of these 1.00

01:18:22.420 uh enclaves that they have where by the way they play the call to prayer at all hours of the day

01:18:28.920 before the sun comes up, after the sun goes down,

01:18:32.860 all through the day.

01:18:39.820 It's alarming.

01:18:43.120 And then I heard the other day,

01:18:44.880 I read that they're trying to get the church bells

01:18:47.420 on Christian Catholic churches and whatnot

01:18:50.840 to stop ringing on Sunday.

01:18:53.180 That offends them, upsets them,

01:18:55.720 And they don't like the noise, I guess.

01:18:59.620 But the call to prayer can blast every day, multiple times a day.

01:19:05.980 So we got this Michigan guy running for Senate out of Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed.

01:19:13.740 He's getting a lot of news, a lot of heat these days. 1.00

01:19:16.960 And, again, he's another one of these socialists, Muslims, 0.99

01:19:21.500 that really seem to be getting a lot of heat these days.

01:19:24.460 and uh who's who's backing this guy i guess bernie sanders might like him a little bit

01:19:33.220 and liz warren another person who is allowing islam to pull out their knife and she's holding 0.96

01:19:44.060 it to the the necks of americans and if you say anything bad about it uh you're the problem

01:19:49.740 So here's Liz Warren stumping, as they say in political circles, for Abdul Al-Sayed.

01:19:58.160 Here's one thing that Abdul Al-Sayed's victory in Michigan tells us.

01:20:03.960 People say it can't be done.

01:20:06.660 But when you fight for the right things, you can build the people power needed to overcome big money.

01:20:14.060 What did Abdul run on?

01:20:15.500 To get money out of politics.

01:20:17.540 To put money in your pocket.

01:20:19.740 and to pass Medicare for All.

01:20:22.500 Well, when costs are up and Trump is seemingly doing everything but bringing costs down,

01:20:29.580 that's a pretty good message.

01:20:30.700 And it's how Abdul was able to build a true grassroots movement in Michigan

01:20:36.700 that was strong enough to beat back millions of dollars in dark months.

01:20:42.560 And that grassroots movement is exactly what's going to get Abdul across the finish line in November.

01:20:49.740 because we know how to win by fighting for working people yeah that's what it is that

01:20:56.980 we won't forget that liz grassroots it's the most un-grassroots thing i've ever seen

01:21:06.020 all of these people are backed and sponsored by people like soros and company by all of the 0.98

01:21:14.360 communists by islam uh this is not grassroots this is an invasion and dumb liz warren this 0.99

01:21:25.200 dunce she is is backing it under the umbrella of the democrat party this is the problem with 1.00

01:21:36.120 democrats these are wolves in sheep sheep's clothing abdul al-said is a muslim communist 0.66

01:21:46.920 first most likely a muslim first a communist second and nothing to do with democracy they're 0.89

01:21:55.440 sliding in all of these offices under the guise that they are democrats and they just happen to 0.92

01:22:02.920 be democrat socialist but it's still democrat hey they're not republican they're certainly not maga

01:22:10.180 so people like liz warren and bernie and all of these dopes they they uh give these people their

01:22:20.760 support and they have no idea that they are quite literally trying to take over the united states of

01:22:29.900 america and turn it into some islamic state grabbing up these small places to begin with

01:22:39.220 having their people come in as their constituents voting in more of uh uh more islamic candidates

01:22:50.340 and then before you know it you have another dearborn michigan you have another minneapolis

01:22:56.400 minnesota uh a potential you know springfield ohio where we remember sadly dogs being eaten

01:23:06.420 they're eating the dogs

01:23:08.180 so i don't know i don't know what they're they're doing maybe liz just doesn't care anymore 0.99

01:23:17.580 she's unbelievably rich on her modest salary she has made millions of dollars much like all of them

01:23:29.600 have they've all made a lot of money and uh you'll notice anyone that supports socialism

01:23:37.780 communism in america is already rich the hollywood people these uh celebrities that have

01:23:48.820 unbelievable mansions multiple mansions all over the country all over the world and they're the

01:23:55.840 ones telling americans that socialism is the way after they've made their bundle and can support

01:24:04.240 themselves under pretty much any government and socialism wouldn't affect them none they're still

01:24:11.280 going to be able to afford the best health care they're not going to go to the government

01:24:17.020 uh health care system and the government doctors and they're going to go to the best doctors

01:24:24.220 available with their uh uh riches and be just fine they'll live in their mansions they'll buy

01:24:33.340 cars and the best of

01:24:35.480 everything

01:24:36.040 where were they with socialism

01:24:39.260 when they were working at

01:24:41.400 summer stock or dinner

01:24:43.560 theater

01:24:44.040 barely had two nickels to rub together

01:24:47.280 but when they get rich

01:24:49.180 oh it's all about that Bernie Sanders

01:24:51.180 with his houses and his cars

01:24:53.020 and he's all about socialism

01:24:55.400 now oh are ya

01:24:57.120 he's got plenty of money doesn't

01:24:59.440 he

01:24:59.640 this is ABC

01:25:03.320 news jonathan carl he's uh looking through the uh democrat socialists of america's program

01:25:10.660 with the lovely the lovely and buxom aoc uh because aoc's been making the rounds

01:25:20.120 she's got plenty going on and uh one of the one of the the best things um uh now she's freezing

01:25:26.820 her eggs but we'll get to that uh this guy jonathan carl from abc news he is uh looking

01:25:34.640 through the dsa program and he wants to know aoc's take on it let's listen i was looking through the

01:25:42.040 dsa program and this is the national program i'm sure you've seen the document was adopted uh just

01:25:47.820 a few months ago uh but but some of the positions here defund the department of defense close

01:25:53.220 oversee military bases, abolish the police and prison system, grant amnesty to all immigrants

01:25:59.620 in the US, replace the Supreme Court and executive judiciary with a chosen by lower and lower

01:26:07.080 to Congress, abolish the Senate, public ownership of corporations and essential industries.

01:26:13.020 I mean, those are some positions that you're going to be hearing a lot about this fall

01:26:16.760 from Republicans.

01:26:18.080 And I think we're also going to be hearing a lot about Donald Trump's commitment to

01:26:21.600 getting us into a reckless war in iran his his collaboration with big companies to make sure

01:26:27.600 that grow everything from groceries to rent stay sky high and i think that people are less interested

01:26:33.520 in these academic debates and they're more interested in how we're going to bring their

01:26:37.940 bills down and make sure that they can afford to see a doctor this he was reading off jonathan

01:26:45.600 carl was reading off the program of the democrat socialists of america and and it's so preposterous

01:26:56.620 it's so crazy and aoc's answer to that was well donald trump donald trump donald trump

01:27:05.660 and then she blew it off as some kind of academic kind of conversation or debate no this is their

01:27:13.160 platform this is what they're gunning for they want to get rid of the police prisons i don't

01:27:23.120 know what you do in that case but again these are all people that the ones making the rules

01:27:28.300 would have their own security they'd be living uh high on a mountaintop somewhere where the

01:27:35.060 prisoners that are now not in the prisons because there aren't prisons anymore can't get to them

01:27:41.460 Oh, they'll get to you. So AOC immediately deflected and went right to her. But Donald Trump thing. But Trump, but Trump. Here's AOC. Now, we just heard what the Democrat Socialists of America program is. But now here's AOC's take on what the Democrat Socialists of America are all about and what they stand for.

01:28:09.240 And it certainly doesn't sound anything like what Jonathan Karl had just said.

01:28:14.660 AOC, her take on the D.S.A.

01:28:19.380 By the way, just a quick definitional thing.

01:28:22.180 What, in your mind, is the difference between socialism and communism?

01:28:25.660 I think, to me, the fundamental differences, I mean, there's many.

01:28:31.000 One prevailing one is democracy.

01:28:33.560 And I believe that democratic socialists are fundamentally pro-democracy and we believe in the ballot box.

01:28:44.120 We believe in respecting the outcomes of elections and governing democratically and ensuring that the ideas and policies that are implemented are won through popular vote and popular opinion.

01:28:59.060 And so I think that's why so much of what we focus on is also making sure that we are providing for the majority of Americans,

01:29:08.260 guaranteeing health care, raising wages, strengthening the right to a union.

01:29:12.520 And and I think that that's at its core what we're about.

01:29:18.340 Are you still a member of Democratic Socialists of America?

01:29:21.300 Of the New York City chapter.

01:29:22.460 The New York City chapter, not the national chapter.

01:29:24.500 are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party just the new york city chapter 0.95

01:29:31.660 not the national chapter oh is she so full of crap fundamentally pro-democracy did did that 0.68

01:29:41.380 description from the dsa program sound anything like being fundamentally pro-democracy 0.94

01:29:49.820 abolishing the Senate and the Supreme Court.

01:29:54.340 But, you know, AOC's making a run.

01:29:58.800 She's young, relatively speaking.

01:30:01.180 So if it's 2028, I don't know, 32, whatever it is, 0.60

01:30:09.100 she'll make a run for it. 0.91

01:30:11.260 And to do that, she needs, she can't be saddled with pesky children, right? 1.00

01:30:19.820 Right? Kids? Yuck. 1.00

01:30:22.180 She's a career woman. 1.00

01:30:24.120 She's one of these gals that doesn't want to raise kids. 1.00

01:30:28.280 Gets in the way of her career. 1.00

01:30:30.800 So she's going to freeze her eggs. 0.53

01:30:35.340 I love this one.

01:30:36.920 Oh, I love this one.

01:30:37.780 Do we have the clip of her freezing? 1.00

01:30:41.780 Talking about freezing her eggs. 0.60

01:30:44.780 I love it.

01:30:46.260 All right.

01:30:46.880 And then before you go, you did have a personal announcement that you made.

01:30:51.360 It was interesting to see you kind of open up in, you know, on an Instagram live.

01:30:56.460 I believe it was.

01:30:57.100 So tell me, tell me what it was and why.

01:30:59.040 Yeah.

01:30:59.420 You know, I think it's important for us to normalize these conversations, especially in this political environment.

01:31:04.760 The Trump administration has.

01:31:07.700 Remind us what the announcement was.

01:31:08.720 Yeah, sure.

01:31:09.240 So I have decided to start the process of freezing my eggs.

01:31:14.120 And in this political environment where this administration is denying reproductive care to women across the country, from abortion rights to the ability to carry out a healthy pregnancy, I think it's important for us as leaders to have these conversations and share these processes, especially for working women across the country, and normalize them.

01:31:37.960 Oh, my God.

01:31:39.840 I'll tell you what's a crime. 1.00

01:31:41.440 She's denying a young child access to those luscious cans of hers, those lovely jugs that a young child should be nursing on, and she's going to freeze her eggs. 1.00

01:32:00.360 And then by the time she has the kid, after she gets done with all of her political aspirations, they're going to be wrecked. 1.00

01:32:08.440 gravity will have taken its toll you gotta have a kid uh uh latching onto those now and growing up

01:32:17.000 strong and healthy but she's gonna freeze her eggs my god what science fiction dystopian hell 1.00

01:32:25.880 hole are we living in these days but uh yeah there you go what a liberal woman thing to do 1.00

01:32:33.400 They want to just push it, push it right to the edge. 1.00

01:32:38.360 Oh, I'll want kids someday, but right now I have a career,

01:32:42.720 so I'm going to do some science fiction stuff and freeze my eggs.

01:32:50.080 Is that even a thing that doesn't somehow affect the kid later?

01:32:54.920 I don't know.

01:32:55.920 Hey, I don't even play a doctor on TV.

01:32:58.800 All right, don't go anywhere.

01:33:00.280 Back in a flash.

01:33:02.500 It's the Anthony Comia Show.

01:33:04.000 Let's talk to Mark in Manhattan.

01:33:06.900 Mark, how are you, sir?

01:33:08.720 I'm doing fine.

01:33:09.720 Do you remember the science fiction hell movie,

01:33:13.500 The Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

01:33:15.500 One of my favorites. 0.78

01:33:16.780 I think the remake.

01:33:18.680 The original and the remake.

01:33:20.560 Yeah, the original remake.

01:33:22.640 The remake, but the original had Kevin McCarthy,

01:33:26.300 and the remake had Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, and Jeff Goldblum.

01:33:31.220 He was so good.

01:33:32.140 And you asked what science fiction hellhole we're living through.

01:33:36.000 Yeah.

01:33:37.060 It's the perfect lead-in to this movie.

01:33:39.520 Operator, operator, I'd like to report a buddy.

01:33:43.480 Operator, I'd like to report a buddy.

01:33:46.660 Sutherland.

01:33:47.400 Yeah, thank you.

01:33:48.060 That's my Donald Sutherland impression.

01:33:50.420 Every person was replaced.

01:33:52.440 Every person, every human being was replaced by its seed pod identical twin,

01:33:58.420 except it was a homunculus with no soul.

01:34:02.020 And when you said the invasion, 0.96

01:34:04.820 that's instead of the invasion of the Islamunists,

01:34:07.960 as somebody coined a term recently. 0.99

01:34:09.560 Oh, Islamunists. 0.79

01:34:12.020 Islamunists, the hybrid of the two. 1.00

01:34:14.080 In principle, if the West didn't exist, 0.95

01:34:17.300 Islam and communism would be doing war with each other. 0.96

01:34:20.720 Yes. 0.88

01:34:21.200 But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

01:34:24.280 And I think that that's the perfect film metaphor.

01:34:28.420 for exactly what we are feeling and experiencing.

01:34:31.740 Everyone should see the original black and white

01:34:33.840 and the remake in color.

01:34:35.600 And by the way, when you mention Michigan

01:34:37.700 and Elizabeth Warren and Abdul, oh my God.

01:34:42.960 It's interesting that it's in Michigan

01:34:44.900 because there's a Yiddish term called the Mishigana. 0.96

01:34:47.500 Oh, that's what they are.

01:34:49.260 Yes, a little crazy. 1.00

01:34:50.940 They're like complete Mishiganas. 1.00

01:34:53.300 And to think that Elizabeth Warren 1.00

01:34:55.200 was once a professor at Harvard University.

01:34:58.420 Well, it makes sense because they're all indoctrination centers now,

01:35:02.960 and she would be perfect in that role still to this day,

01:35:07.620 warping the minds of young children.

01:35:10.800 I love the irony that you see all the time and that you voice on your show.

01:35:15.400 Thank you, Mark.

01:35:16.140 It resonates with my sense of irony and the absurd.

01:35:19.840 The problem is you're clear thinking.

01:35:22.040 You see all of the human foibles in exaggerated dimensions amongst these people, amongst the radical left.

01:35:32.140 And yet, why is it that young people, and even some people of my generation, are so cuckoo?

01:35:38.740 I don't know, man.

01:35:39.880 It really ramped up quick in the past decade or so.

01:35:44.720 But, you know, hopefully something happens, Mark.

01:35:48.420 Hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel.

01:35:50.800 Thanks for the call, though, man.

01:35:52.680 Invasion of the Body Snatchers. 0.99

01:35:54.800 It's great.

01:35:56.860 Good movie.

01:35:57.860 I watch that every so often.

01:35:59.800 It's probably one of those movies I go to quite often.

01:36:03.980 The Sutherland one is just great.

01:36:06.640 Love it.

01:36:08.780 Who else is running?

01:36:10.160 Who else is running for office?

01:36:12.880 We have in Wisconsin, there is a gubernatorial hopeful,

01:36:18.340 Francesca Hong

01:36:20.320 yes Francesca

01:36:22.600 Hong

01:36:23.840 another one 1.00

01:36:25.580 just another one of these lunatics 1.00

01:36:28.560 anti-American 1.00

01:36:30.700 to the core

01:36:31.640 racist

01:36:32.960 and 1.00

01:36:34.540 she's got a problem 1.00

01:36:37.220 she thinks that white supremacy 1.00

01:36:39.800 oh toxic white supremacy 0.99

01:36:42.420 not just the regular kind 0.93

01:36:44.060 is that like extra crispy 0.59

01:36:45.680 if it's toxic white supremacy 1.00

01:36:49.060 That culture is ingrained in this country's history.

01:36:53.600 Can you even, can you even, let's listen, AC18 is the clip, Francesca Hong.

01:37:00.680 We have a lot of internal reckoning to do, but that it's important to see it through the lens of toxic white supremacy culture that is ingrained in this country's history.

01:37:13.260 That racism is actually at the backbone of this history.

01:37:16.400 And when people talk about Constitution, you know, federalism, the rights of the people, we really have to take a step back and look at, you know, how those rights have really only been offered up to a certain group and what that what group is that?

01:37:34.020 What certain group would that be?

01:37:36.240 The toxic white supremacy group? 0.92

01:37:39.180 This is such a hacky, a hacky way to try to get elected. 0.98

01:37:47.920 Still crowing about the, still Jim crowing about toxic white supremacy culture. 1.00

01:37:57.100 She's Asian. 0.97

01:37:57.860 like asians do unbelievably well in this country uh they're at the top of every list 1.00

01:38:07.820 above the horrible toxic white people in this country america being systemically racist 1.00

01:38:16.760 and toxic white supremacist has allowed somehow the asians slip through our fingers 1.00

01:38:26.140 and we've allowed them to reach unbelievable heights of wealth and work. 0.95

01:38:36.380 They're able to run businesses. 0.97

01:38:39.540 How did we allow this if we're such a terrible, toxic white supremacist culture? 0.98

01:38:47.020 Oh, they got us, didn't they? 0.99

01:38:49.360 Slipped right through our fingers. 0.97

01:38:51.340 um the country at one point the united states was in the 90 percent white people 98 i think at one

01:39:05.760 point percent uh white europeans in this country so you want to call it supremacy

01:39:13.840 it's pretty much it was the majority if things are uh more suited to white people or if uh more

01:39:25.260 things are offered to white people in in businesses or culturally food wise whatever it was

01:39:33.740 it's because the vast majority of people were white people in this country and then so many

01:39:42.220 years later after other cultures other races of people were allowed to come here and prosper

01:39:50.040 people still want to look back at the time when 95 whatever percent of the country was white 0.93

01:39:58.020 and were catering to that demographic and want to look at that like the toxic it is the anthony 1.00

01:40:06.740 show and a couple of things i was scrolling during the break uh the these are idiots i have 1.00

01:40:14.700 to comment on um some idiots uh multiple passengers on board alaska airlines flight 305 at miami 0.99

01:40:23.360 international airport have threatened the flight attendants including one saying they were going to 1.00

01:40:28.840 take over the aircraft the plane headed to seattle never took off and returned to the gate

01:40:35.880 If you are going to say that you're taking over the aircraft, you should probably wait until it's in the air.

01:40:45.320 That would probably be the.

01:40:49.380 What happened to air travel, man?

01:40:52.420 What the hell happened to air travel? 1.00

01:40:55.180 it just this leads me to believe we're not just seeing more nutty people because of

01:41:03.420 videos on social media and we all have phones that seems to be the question everybody has

01:41:09.940 were we always this nuts or do we just see it now because everyone has a phone and they video it

01:41:18.400 and they put it on social media and we see it.

01:41:21.920 No, I am going on record right now

01:41:25.700 and saying we are nuttier than fruitcakes. 0.98

01:41:30.000 We are batty, more batty than we've ever been

01:41:33.980 because I don't remember this happening on aircraft.

01:41:39.080 I remember people being pretty cool about flying.

01:41:44.700 They knew that it was, you got on the plane,

01:41:47.720 you behaved yourself and if there were children with a family the parents told the kids they

01:41:55.740 needed to behave themselves everyone was dressed nicely and i'm not talking about you know a

01:42:02.140 fedora and a suit and the woman wearing a gown uh they just dress nicely not pajamas and that

01:42:11.640 vacuum cleaner bag on your head and crocs people just dress nice and i do understand the airlines

01:42:19.540 were nicer than two they would come down the aisle with a carving station you'd get roast beef

01:42:26.640 it's crazy but uh i guess now the passengers and the airlines pretty much deserve each other

01:42:33.980 the both both of them deserve each other because uh the clientele is terrible and the airlines are

01:42:42.360 terrible but yeah there's my message to you if you uh want to uh take over a plane you gotta wait

01:42:49.580 till you're in the air if you're on the ground uh yeah not very smart and then the other thing is

01:42:56.320 this uh howard stern story that's going on uh howard stern staffers not allowed to speak to

01:43:04.180 radio host at parties in cultish company uh this of course uh is howard had to fire a bunch of

01:43:14.240 people sirius xm uh fired a bunch of howard's staff because he cut his show down to one day a

01:43:22.000 week and he still takes the entire summer off and then um he's still not not back i think he comes

01:43:28.060 back in september and uh he'll only be doing one show a week so a lot of the people that have been

01:43:33.280 there for many years got fired and they signed non-disclosure agreements all of them but you know

01:43:39.380 off the record uh the people from the post talked to some of these people and obviously they're

01:43:44.780 bitter and they're going to be saying things and they have been but uh i can tell you a little

01:43:50.440 something that uh kind of goes along with this i worked at sirius xm on the opian anthony show

01:43:56.940 for 10 years and i never saw howard stern i never saw him there we worked the same day part we were

01:44:06.680 both doing morning drive uh i saw everyone else that worked on the howard stern show

01:44:14.060 uh everybody fred robin uh arty bababooey all of them and in 10 years i never saw howard

01:44:26.120 so i don't know i'm kind of uh led to believe some of this uh stuff about cultish the whole

01:44:34.640 cult of of howard and how people had to one part of the story they say if it was uh some type of

01:44:41.560 a get-together, an occasion

01:44:43.220 where the staff was there

01:44:45.500 with Howard, they weren't allowed to look

01:44:47.580 him in the eyes. You couldn't look

01:44:49.480 at him.

01:44:51.240 Which is funny. That's a funny

01:44:53.660 thing to do. Unless it's serious,

01:44:55.380 then it's tragic. I used to tell

01:44:57.460 the interns that. Don't look me in the

01:44:59.480 eye. And they would take it

01:45:01.520 seriously and I'd be like, would you 1.00

01:45:02.860 knock it off, you idiot? 1.00

01:45:05.780 Very fun. 1.00

01:45:08.660 Lenny.

01:45:10.060 Lenny in West

01:45:11.320 chester county what's up lenny hello anthony there he is anthony america is chinese version of

01:45:23.080 of saturday night lives i mean they're laughing with us what color is your tie

01:45:27.660 uh school children dissecting themselves in our best medical centers

01:45:32.460 guys want to the size of andre the giant they want to play basketball with the women

01:45:37.520 And what those guys are going for, let me tell you, collusion. 1.00

01:45:41.980 They want to sue them for collusion. 0.98

01:45:43.740 I don't think you're going to see that with pom-poms trying to go down the court. 0.55

01:45:46.760 They just want to sue them.

01:45:47.700 What I like about it, Lenny, what I like about it is they're calling out the WNBA

01:45:54.560 and all these liberals and all these people that say a woman is whoever wants to be a woman.

01:46:01.940 They found a loophole, and they are taking advantage of it.

01:46:07.520 saying oh really okay i want to play in the wnba i used to be a man i used to be on the nba

01:46:14.940 and now i'm a woman because now they have to they have to tell him why he's not a woman

01:46:21.620 and to do that you have to define a woman it's quite brilliant on the part of um of some of

01:46:30.340 these people that are doing this because it finally puts their back against the wall and

01:46:35.060 they have to answer well if you don't think i'm a woman and i'm not qualified to play then what is

01:46:40.860 a woman and why am i not one so it's brilliant well this is what i can guarantee those two guys

01:46:46.640 voted for harris they voted for obongo and they voted for creepy joe i guarantee but listen in

01:46:52.000 the collective bargain agreement between the union and wmba i guarantee you it says in that

01:46:57.020 bargain agreement birth what will you at birth you have to be a female that's what's going to 0.58

01:47:02.340 be in there okay but anyway more serious stuff out there yes uh we got the communists winning 0.53

01:47:07.260 all over the place i'm saying i've been saying it for 25 30 years now stop legal immigration i

01:47:13.560 get banned from all the shows and everything yeah but a lot of people are starting to come out and

01:47:17.920 say they support legal immigration so they've given themselves away it took a long time some

01:47:23.080 of them always gave themselves away but they've now given themselves away because let's face it 1.00

01:47:27.300 You don't bring in 100 million third worlders and scratch your head 0.98

01:47:31.260 why Cy Lee gets elected over in Michigan.

01:47:34.580 And Rodgers is probably going to win

01:47:36.520 because you still have a lot of good, hardcore Americans living there.

01:47:41.000 You know, so I think, but listen.

01:47:42.820 But what about next time, you know,

01:47:44.340 when there's more people from these third world disaster areas? 1.00

01:47:50.300 You know, they're just, they're playing the long game here, Lenny.

01:47:54.920 I know that.

01:47:55.660 But the thing is, the thing is, if this guy, Rodgers, gets a big lead, he's the Republican candidate for the Senate, they're going to pull this guy, Saeed, out of there and bring in somebody.

01:48:06.580 Oh, a more moderate guy, you think?

01:48:08.720 Yeah, of course you know they're going to do that.

01:48:10.740 They want to win these seats.

01:48:11.960 But the thing is, you've got to realize now, all these people like Omar came here legally, Tlaib legally, Mommy Tommy in New York City came here.

01:48:21.120 He's only been a citizen seven years.

01:48:22.620 He's the mayor of the biggest city in the world.

01:48:24.460 This is directly the result of legal immigration inside of America. 0.86

01:48:29.420 Now they're lying on the air like they always do to protect the invasion.

01:48:33.260 They're blaming a bunch of college kids. 0.99

01:48:35.740 Oh, it's a bunch of crazy college kids. 0.99

01:48:37.680 That's the total BS. 0.99

01:48:39.600 They're saying that because they have to protect the invasion.

01:48:42.380 They can't come out and say.

01:48:43.880 Right. 0.78

01:48:44.320 It's the invaders.

01:48:46.080 Yeah, it's the invaders that did it.

01:48:48.160 They can't say that.

01:48:49.100 Right. 1.00

01:48:49.900 Yeah, foreign born.

01:48:50.960 They got to say that now.

01:48:52.000 and they're beating their chest like gorillas and stuff like that.

01:48:54.820 You know, listen, if we don't get a handle on this,

01:48:58.740 we will never be able to reverse all of this stuff.

01:49:01.840 There's no reversing it anyway, Lenny.

01:49:03.820 I've been saying this.

01:49:05.020 It's sad as hell.

01:49:06.980 We might be able to stop it or put speed bumps in front of it,

01:49:10.800 but we are on a trajectory that is tragic,

01:49:14.780 and it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel

01:49:21.140 that's close enough to to hold this off i don't have a good feeling about america's future

01:49:27.800 well the corporate and political establishment want the invasion that's why it's taken place

01:49:33.280 we could stop it cold if we tell republicans in the senate and the congress in house and

01:49:40.040 the president that's it no more legal immigration people in this country if you're not a citizen

01:49:44.720 you get out of this country if you're here especially illegally get out of here and hold

01:49:49.080 those countries responsible if you notice that you know i don't know if you remember but years

01:49:54.620 ago right after bush senior left office he went to kuwait and sodom tried to kill him assassinate

01:50:01.460 him and then when bush junior got in yeah it was payback two years ago when they released the

01:50:07.620 information that uh iran was going after trump as soon as trump went in i knew that he was going to

01:50:13.260 go after them and level that but what they do in iran let me tell you what they do their top

01:50:18.400 leadership now has their bunkers under hospitals and under schools oh yeah they know listen but

01:50:25.220 let me finish they know that america will not bomb hospitals and schools that's why they're

01:50:29.780 safe down there and also they know the oil all the refineries in the streets of the moose or

01:50:35.540 whatever you want to call it they know america will not bomb it and saudi arabia is calling

01:50:40.080 the shots there because they're afraid of iran they know if we go wild on iran there's going to

01:50:45.500 be right retaliation they're doing it now but that's nothing we lost our soldiers there they're

01:50:50.360 the ones calling shots they want trump and the republicans to lose in november that's why iran 0.97

01:50:55.740 is dragging this on you think for a second i ever believed there was any agreement no no for a c5 0.90

01:51:01.440 nobody and stuff nobody always plays iran always plays with our elections they did it in 79th 0.90

01:51:08.840 Carter, that when they released the hostages in 1981, in January 20th, right when Reagan

01:51:16.340 was getting... 0.95

01:51:16.620 Oh, yeah, because they knew Reagan wasn't going to take their crap and... 0.99

01:51:20.740 Nah, listen, they bombed the barracks. 0.99

01:51:22.960 Reagan did nothing.

01:51:24.020 What are you talking about?

01:51:25.220 That's all hearsay and nonsense.

01:51:27.400 They bombed out barracks.

01:51:28.880 They murdered out Bukum Reeves, and Reagan did nothing.

01:51:31.900 They let him get away with it.

01:51:33.140 So let's not canonize people who should not get it.

01:51:36.500 Those were reasons for murdering in their sleep.

01:51:38.500 All right, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, I love you.

01:51:45.500 I got to move on.

01:51:48.600 How was he, Will?

01:51:50.060 He was insulting Ronald Reagan.

01:51:52.960 And, Will, I don't like that.

01:51:55.420 No, I'm kidding, of course.

01:51:57.120 No, very good, Lenny.

01:51:58.260 Thank you.

01:51:59.160 Holy Jesus Palomino took up my whole first break.

01:52:01.980 Back in a flash.

01:52:04.340 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:52:05.920 And who else is rearing their ugly heads for the election, the midterms, the presidential election in two years? 0.99

01:52:17.360 Of course, Kamala Harris. 1.00

01:52:20.900 We couldn't possibly have an election without the lovely Kamala Harris popping out from under her rock to stump for some of the candidates. 1.00

01:52:34.120 and maybe keep herself out there for a possible presidential run. 1.00

01:52:41.780 We can only dream.

01:52:44.980 We can only hope. 1.00

01:52:46.860 I would love to see her back up there on the debate stage 1.00

01:52:51.020 with her psychobabble, just word salad as it became known. 0.99

01:52:57.860 uh she does not like something called the save act the save act of course is preposterous it's

01:53:08.300 so oppressive it's so unfair the save act it would require people to prove they are who they are

01:53:18.740 before they vote my god my god it's a torture it's some type of tyranny to actually have to

01:53:28.840 identify yourself before you vote you know uh but there's camilla harris she uh here she is

01:53:37.360 and the way she's talking about it anyone in their right mind would listen to this go well

01:53:42.380 yeah yeah this sounds like what we should have but just because she's kamala harris uh you should

01:53:50.280 uh listen to what she says and go oh yeah this is sounds like a terrible prospect for uh voters

01:53:56.440 so ac9 let's take a listen to kamala kamala kamila chameleon kamala harris 19 states have

01:54:06.960 already passed laws to make it more difficult to vote then this president hey everybody so um

01:54:14.360 they're trying to mess with your ability to vote just to break it all down you've got the supreme

01:54:18.860 court they just sealed the deal with this case that just came up recently the calais decision

01:54:24.000 which basically took the power out of the voting rights act which was designed to protect your

01:54:28.500 right to vote so you got the supreme court doing its thing then this president is trying to push

01:54:35.920 this save act which basically would require that for people to register to vote you're going to

01:54:42.200 have to have proof yeah who you are crazy right a passport which a lot of americans don't have

01:54:49.060 or a birth certificate same point obstacles to make it difficult for you to register to vote

01:54:55.940 and then you got the states 19 states have already passed laws to make it more difficult to vote

01:55:02.620 And the ones that haven't passed a law are doing it in practice in many places around our country.

01:55:09.100 Why? Because they're scared of you.

01:55:11.620 They are scared of your power, the power you have, the power of your voice through your vote.

01:55:16.960 So the work we have to do right now, let's make sure everybody, one, check your voter registration status because, you know, they've been purging the rolls.

01:55:24.220 Make sure you register to vote.

01:55:25.620 Even if you thought you are, just make sure.

01:55:27.900 Next, let's make sure that everybody we know is registered to vote if they've not registered before.

01:55:33.520 And then let's encourage everyone, vote early where they can, vote by mail where they can, and vote.

01:55:40.560 It's going to make a difference.

01:55:42.180 Why even register?

01:55:44.500 Why is she talking about registering to vote? 0.76

01:55:46.860 Why not just make it where you can just stroll on in anywhere and vote?

01:55:51.680 That's what they really want.

01:55:53.300 the way she talked about with such disdain about the prospect of identifying yourself

01:56:00.520 before you vote oh they just don't want you they're scared of you now they're scared of

01:56:10.580 the fraud that you have been perpetrating on our voting system for quite some time now

01:56:18.200 I think that's where the fear comes in. Not so much afraid of people, Americans, actually voting. One person, one vote. No one's afraid of that. That's how this country has worked for many years. That's how it's supposed to work.

01:56:36.000 if you're a citizen of this country and you vote i don't think anyone that uh that supports the

01:56:45.380 save act would say that that's not a good thing oh we don't want people voting one person one

01:56:52.300 but oh no no no no no no one's saying that but they don't want you to identify yourself

01:56:58.760 and they love presenting it like it's so difficult oh you would need a passport or something oh my

01:57:06.920 goodness a passport or or a birth certificate or oh things that any american can get

01:57:14.680 is that what you're talking about there's something here i will find it in a second

01:57:20.600 because it's actually what is going on with the, yeah, I got it, with the SAVE Act.

01:57:32.000 I almost got it.

01:57:34.180 Oh, there it is.

01:57:35.280 Yeah, it has to do with it.

01:57:37.220 It's California Proposition 39.

01:57:39.500 They're all upset about this one, too.

01:57:43.000 They're fighting tooth and nail to not have this passed.

01:57:47.520 A citizen-initiated constitutional amendment on the November 3rd ballot statewide, it's formally titled something to the effect of prohibit citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification, which, that's common sense.

01:58:07.780 Let's see what Prop 39 is all about.

01:58:10.460 It would amend the California Constitution and add new requirements for voting and voter role maintenance.

01:58:17.360 Key provisions.

01:58:18.480 Listen to this insanity.

01:58:20.240 This is mental.

01:58:22.260 In-person voting.

01:58:23.580 Voters must present government-issued identification each time they vote in person.

01:58:28.740 Election officials would verify identity before counting the ballot.

01:58:33.440 Ah, crazy.

01:58:35.080 Mail in or vote by mail ballots.

01:58:37.660 Voter must provide the last four digits of a designated government-issued identification number on the ballot envelope.

01:58:45.240 That way you can tie the voter to the mail-in ballot.

01:58:50.140 Oh, my God.

01:58:52.740 This is a tyranny.

01:58:54.960 Tyranny.

01:58:57.080 Voter registration and ID designation.

01:58:59.480 new and existing voters would need to select designate a government issued id such as a

01:59:05.720 driver's license state id number as part of the registration process for mail-in voting

01:59:12.040 how about this they're giving you free voter id free voter id cards the state would require

01:59:22.280 would be required to provide upon request and at no charge a voter identification card

01:59:29.660 that would serve as the required government issued id by the way this should be nationwide

01:59:36.520 this shouldn't be uh just california and you know why because this would would throw away

01:59:43.820 their excuse that people can't get id it's expensive people in rural areas uh minorities 0.99

01:59:52.120 They dubbed minorities much too stupid to get their own IDs. 0.99

01:59:57.440 So if it's supplied by the government, the state, there you go. 1.00

02:00:03.320 Citizenship verification and voter roll maintenance.

02:00:07.320 The Secretary of State and the county election officials must use best efforts with available government data to verify that people on the voter rolls are U.S. citizens.

02:00:16.260 They must annually report the percentage of each county's voter rolls that have been citizenship verified.

02:00:25.000 And then oversight and implementation.

02:00:28.600 Does this sound like something that is intrusive to the voting process?

02:00:37.020 Does this sound like something that is trying to be prohibitive to people that wish to vote?

02:00:43.620 that you're trying to make it more difficult for people to vote?

02:00:47.740 Or does it sound like an effort to stop voter fraud?

02:00:53.760 Huh.

02:00:54.320 I don't know.

02:00:55.800 That's a tough one, isn't it?

02:00:58.540 But this is what they're fighting.

02:01:01.940 We're fighting for these rules.

02:01:05.160 They're fighting against those rules.

02:01:07.540 So you tell me who's on the right side here.

02:01:11.800 Not the right, the correct side.

02:01:13.620 say right or left because anyone that thinks those basic simple ways to try to prevent voter fraud

02:01:25.020 are anything oppressive or uh preventive preventative of people voting you are uh you 1.00

02:01:36.800 either are stupid incredibly stupid or you have an agenda you know that there's fraud you know that 1.00

02:01:45.420 that uh our uh election um our electoral system is rife with fraud and you want it to continue 1.00

02:01:53.740 so the last thing you would want are people to have to prove they are citizens who have the right

02:02:01.500 to vote and california oh they're like no no on this proposition we can't have that it's terrible

02:02:10.500 all right we will return in a matter of seconds where are you going stick around

02:02:16.540 the anthony cumia show and uh got a few things to clean up here of course

02:02:22.720 the wonderful governor hochel our governor in new york state governor hochel uh she loves this whole 0.79

02:02:31.420 pita tear tax i ain't paying no frenchy frog named taxes this pita charity tax um

02:02:41.880 she supports it and danny of course loves this uh it's so simple if you own property

02:02:50.720 in new york city and it is valued at more than five million dollars you must pay

02:02:59.740 this pied-à-terre tax which is exorbitant it's a very very high tax because they see it

02:03:08.420 as a rich person the dastardly evil wealthy people that aren't using the uh the buildings

02:03:18.040 as residents or businesses uh and for some reason they don't like that uh new york city property

02:03:25.060 is very expensive it goes up it's an investment property invest people buy investment properties

02:03:31.760 all the time uh but they don't want you to do that perish the thought you make money uh they

02:03:39.500 need to support you if you're self-sufficient and you could support yourself and you can make money

02:03:45.740 because you're clever and talented and not lazy oh you are an enemy to people like governor

02:03:52.840 Hochul and Zornamdani and company.

02:03:56.380 So they want to tax this.

02:03:58.980 Now, listen to what Governor Hochul says here, because she's making it sound like if you

02:04:07.000 aren't paying this pied-à-terre tax, that you're just not paying anything.

02:04:11.740 You're freeloading.

02:04:13.260 You have a building.

02:04:14.500 You don't live there.

02:04:15.980 It's an investment property.

02:04:17.280 so you are freeloading with your free building sitting on their property

02:04:22.860 and you're not even paying for it.

02:04:25.640 Let's listen, AC7, and then we will discuss.

02:04:29.800 What I do support is saying that those who are able to afford a second home

02:04:35.500 worth over $5 million but do not make New York City your home,

02:04:40.760 you're benefiting from police and fire protective services

02:04:44.420 and are maintaining our roads and during snowstorms and in the summer.

02:04:48.620 So why aren't you contributing to this?

02:04:50.960 So I'm asking people to pay their fair share.

02:04:52.740 Snowstorms in the summer?

02:04:54.160 Fair share.

02:04:55.120 There's that line again.

02:04:57.160 Oh, God.

02:04:59.240 Fair share.

02:05:00.600 Every year, less than a year, every few months,

02:05:04.540 they blurt out that fair share thing.

02:05:07.520 You can't keep saying fair share.

02:05:10.160 At some point, you go, well, now it's beyond fair.

02:05:14.160 You keep asking me to pay more.

02:05:18.260 Here's the thing with what Governor Hochul just said there.

02:05:21.960 They are paying taxes.

02:05:24.040 They're paying property taxes.

02:05:26.120 They're paying city taxes, state taxes.

02:05:29.860 You know what kind of money it costs to own a building in New York City,

02:05:34.420 the taxes you pay on that?

02:05:36.660 And now they just want to throw another one on it because, what,

02:05:39.160 you don't live there and you've been lucky or talented enough to be able to afford an 1.00

02:05:47.300 investment property in New York City, they'd rather have that filled up with illegals or 0.97

02:05:55.280 Section 8 housing so it can be destroyed with people paying nothing for rent. 0.70

02:06:03.220 you, through your taxes, will be financing the rent for the people that are staying in your building

02:06:11.040 that you can't hold as an investment property.

02:06:13.960 This is what's going on, and they wonder.

02:06:16.340 They wonder why people are leaving New York State, and especially New York City, in droves.

02:06:23.440 They think the city should be affordable to everybody,

02:06:26.240 and if you do have money

02:06:29.680 and you're utilizing it

02:06:32.120 in New York City

02:06:33.600 you are an enemy 0.99

02:06:34.500 you're terrible 0.98

02:06:35.760 meanwhile they're the people 0.98

02:06:36.780 with the businesses

02:06:37.780 they're the people

02:06:39.420 employing

02:06:41.000 the people of New York City

02:06:43.200 but evil

02:06:44.660 evil terrible people

02:06:45.720 and this will continue

02:06:46.880 and they'll do more things like this

02:06:48.840 and more wealthy people

02:06:51.200 that support New York

02:06:52.820 and employ people

02:06:53.980 they will leave 0.99

02:06:55.360 And I just can't wait to see a New York that is only inhabited by illegals, impoverished, and the city running the whole circus back to the dilapidated buildings we can all remember in the 70s and the 80s, the South Bronx, before they did a good job at bringing that back. 1.00

02:07:22.620 bringing back New York City 1.00

02:07:25.140 making it a tourist destination

02:07:27.440 under Giuliani

02:07:28.400 and now they're putting all these things

02:07:31.180 in place that will do nothing

02:07:32.780 but destroy the city again

02:07:35.020 beautiful

02:07:36.600 great job

02:07:38.240 you're doing there Governor Hochul

02:07:41.220 well maybe

02:07:42.880 maybe

02:07:44.100 we can look toward

02:07:47.180 the young

02:07:47.860 we can look toward the budding

02:07:51.100 citizens of new york city you know the kids that are going to school you see where this is going

02:08:00.200 don't you the uh the uh new york post put out an article about school and how how it's going

02:08:12.340 And it's not going well.

02:08:18.000 The amount of students that can actually read, write, and do simple math.

02:08:26.860 We are talking simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

02:08:32.740 We're not talking calculus or anything like that.

02:08:36.500 These numbers are terrible.

02:08:39.800 They are lower than the country average. 0.98

02:08:47.040 And then when you start going out of the country to places like China and Japan, New York, it's a bunch of dummies. 0.97

02:08:56.200 The students are a bunch of dummies that have not learned anything. 0.94

02:09:01.020 And you know why? 0.98

02:09:01.860 I think a big part of it is they've lowered the bar to the lowest common denominator in New York.

02:09:13.180 They have made it impossible for people to excel.

02:09:18.320 They've taken away gifted student programs in your basic public schools.

02:09:24.480 Going to private schools or things like that, yeah, they still have gifted student programs.

02:09:29.620 But the parents were getting so upset that their little angel wasn't being chosen for these gifted classes.

02:09:39.920 And then they started saying that perhaps these gifted classes were, you know, racist.

02:09:48.120 Meanwhile, again, a lot of Asian kids, a lot of Indian kids were in these gifted classes.

02:09:54.640 But, you know, a certain segment of society was very angry, so what did they do?

02:10:01.720 They got rid of the gifted classes, and then they started calling other things white supremacy or racist.

02:10:12.560 Do you know that requiring students to sit still and be quiet in class is racist?

02:10:21.620 it's a form of white supremacy because from what i read children learn differently some children

02:10:29.700 can't learn when they're forced to sit still and be quiet they have to stroll around the classroom

02:10:37.240 and maybe smack someone in the back of the head uh while they're you know learning

02:10:42.900 And then discipline. Discipline's a big thing. And again, there was a certain segment of the student body who were out of control, out of control, doing things that would have merited a suspension at least, maybe even an expulsion. 0.59

02:11:05.640 How about detention or some type of disciplinary action?

02:11:12.820 Well, they decided that, too, must have been racist.

02:11:17.860 They looked at the statistics, who was being suspended, who was being expelled or getting detention,

02:11:27.200 and they said, boy, this list sure looks like race is playing a part in who was being disciplined.

02:11:34.440 because there's really no other logical explanation

02:11:38.000 than that the staff was being racist.

02:11:42.100 So they did away with any disciplinary action.

02:11:46.800 And when you combine all those things,

02:11:50.080 you get schools that are incapable of teaching

02:11:55.140 even the kids that want to learn,

02:11:58.360 even the kids that are dying to learn something,

02:12:02.300 sitting in the front of the class.

02:12:04.440 wearing their glasses teacher's pet they're incapable of learning because there are so many

02:12:11.840 distractions disruptions violence going on in these classrooms and then they wonder when these

02:12:21.040 stats come out why new york has such uh crappy grades why their kids are being pushed through

02:12:31.160 these schools and spit out the other end with a complete inability to do the simplest of english

02:12:39.640 math reading and they go what happened and then what do they say well we need more money

02:12:49.000 do you know new york on average spends 52 000 per student that is insane well they need more

02:12:59.800 computers they need some ipads and and whatnot and then they they buy them and they get stolen

02:13:06.580 and then they're sold for drugs or guns or what have you and again no one's disciplined because

02:13:12.780 discipline is horrible and racist and tyrannical and so until until something really gets done 0.92

02:13:22.520 the department of education is useless just useless all they care about is paying the 0.96

02:13:28.900 teachers more and they're just babysitters at this point or corrections officers more than 0.96

02:13:35.380 babysitters uh i've seen so many videos where it looks like prison the cafeteria looks like

02:13:43.960 you're watching a movie watching face-off and uh they're fighting in the the prison cafeteria

02:13:51.320 someone's getting shanked that's what it looks like when you you see some of these videos so

02:13:57.540 the teachers have no no power the administrators have had their hands tied like i said they can't

02:14:03.800 discipline the students they can't identify kids that are talented and gifted and put them

02:14:11.680 somewhere else where they're away from the distractions so it just continues and we have

02:14:19.120 new york city schools failing to educate kids that was the uh the story in the post

02:14:26.880 And another great thing that the Post does, and this was with two stories.

02:14:32.320 One was this story about failing education in New York,

02:14:36.000 and the other one was how the parents of these kids are very upset

02:14:41.800 that their kids aren't getting an education.

02:14:45.740 Everyone seems to want the kids to have an education.

02:14:49.220 Everyone's mad that they're not getting good grades.

02:14:53.120 But no one seems to be responsible for it.

02:14:57.020 So the other one was how the parents are mad.

02:14:59.820 And the picture on the cover of the newspaper depicting the students that weren't getting good grades, little white kids, little white girl, little white boy.

02:15:11.400 It's like, oh, why aren't our kids learning?

02:15:14.920 It's like, I don't know.

02:15:16.720 I don't know if that's an accurate depiction.

02:15:18.180 It was like a stock photo, Getty images or something is all we were getting from that.

02:15:24.880 But that's going on.

02:15:28.000 A couple of more things.

02:15:30.840 Mitch McConnell.

02:15:33.360 Mitch McConnell, I'd like to inform everybody, is working from home.

02:15:39.160 He is done with his rehab, his rehabilitation.

02:15:45.380 From what?

02:15:46.240 I don't even know.

02:15:47.840 Falling down?

02:15:49.280 They said he fell.

02:15:51.540 He didn't break anything.

02:15:53.340 They checked him out.

02:15:54.640 He didn't have a stroke.

02:15:55.940 He didn't have cardiac issues, no tumors.

02:16:01.120 He's been discharged Thursday.

02:16:04.520 He's been discharged from rehab facility and will keep up with his Senate work from home.

02:16:09.380 Well, God bless.

02:16:11.160 As he continues to recover following nearly two months of medical care after a fall.

02:16:17.260 Oh, he just fell.

02:16:18.260 On the advice of my doctor, this is Mitch right here, I guess, I'll maintain an intensive

02:16:27.480 regimen of physical therapy from home.

02:16:31.760 During the state work period, the 84-year-old senator said, in a written statement, oh,

02:16:41.000 a written statement, why didn't he do a video?

02:16:46.060 Why wasn't there a picture included with the written statement?

02:16:53.780 Interesting, isn't it?

02:16:55.680 And that seems strange.

02:16:56.860 Oh, he added in his written statement,

02:17:00.520 I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.

02:17:06.940 Continue?

02:17:08.580 Has he been?

02:17:10.320 Don't you have to have been doing something in order to continue it?

02:17:14.400 mcconnell has not been seen or heard in public since he was hospitalized in mid-june after

02:17:21.300 suffering a fall at his home in washington and then contracting pneumonia his staff has largely

02:17:27.480 kept mum about the senior senator's condition despite uh mounting scrutiny from the media and

02:17:34.380 some elected officials yeah where is he i say he's dead i think he's just dead i think they're

02:17:43.500 trying to stretch this out for some reason mcconnell's aides oh he's got aids oh no it's

02:17:49.740 not happening mcconnell's aides have uh periodically released written statements from the senator

02:17:56.100 providing brief updates on his recovery progress is anyone buying this this is a lie

02:18:04.660 the american people are being lied to as to the ability of a senator to conduct business

02:18:11.520 mcconnell's uh oh the a picture he took at the hospital was the last time we saw anything he

02:18:17.900 was holding a newspaper possibly to provide proof the photo was not taken earlier like a hostage

02:18:23.420 photo or like a lee harvey oswald holding the the newspaper with the rifle no video or audio

02:18:31.220 mcconnell has been released so far and the scant largely text-based assurances of his improvement

02:18:37.160 have only fueled more speculation yeah we're being lied to people i there's no other way to put it

02:18:47.340 i'm tired of them trying to force plausible deniability down our throat oh he's fine he's

02:18:56.720 just writing he's written a statement what is he lincoln what is this the 1800s it's 2026

02:19:06.260 If you want to get your message to the most people you can, that you're fine and you're going to be conducting your business as senator, you make a quick video and put it on social media.

02:19:22.980 Do you know every single person in the country will see that?

02:19:27.420 And they'll go, well, you know, you'll have some people go, oh, I guess it was AI.

02:19:32.420 But you'll have a lot of people go, oh, okay.

02:19:36.260 There he is.

02:19:37.580 I guess he's conducting business.

02:19:39.180 But that staged photo from the hospital bed and now written statements that he's home

02:19:47.200 and he's going to be, oh, he's diving right in headfirst into his work.

02:19:52.660 It's all nonsense. 0.98

02:19:55.920 It's lies.

02:19:57.060 We are constantly being lied to by our trusted representatives.

02:20:07.000 Isn't that a laugh?

02:20:08.540 They're supposed to be the people that represent us,

02:20:11.020 and we can't even find out if they're dead or alive?

02:20:18.760 How does that work?

02:20:21.440 Oh, my representative from the great state of Kentucky.

02:20:24.940 Yeah, I don't know.

02:20:25.960 He might be dead.

02:20:27.060 He might be. He might be dead. 0.84

02:20:29.480 I'd like to have him represent me on something that the constituents find very pressing and important.

02:20:37.240 But, yeah, he may be dead.

02:20:42.780 Yeah, I have to laugh.

02:20:46.720 That's where we are, kids.

02:20:48.940 That's the situation we're in.

02:20:51.360 All right, a couple of more things to get to.

02:20:53.100 There's another poor elderly senior scam that's going on, and we'll talk about that next.

02:21:01.100 It's the Anthony Comia Show, and I've got to say, every day I scroll through social media and some new scam has popped up that now you have to make sure your parents or your grandparents aren't falling for these things. 0.91

02:21:20.580 when when do people reach a point where they become unbelievably gullible and trustworthy

02:21:29.480 uh and look a lot of these things these days uh they they're technology-based computer-based

02:21:40.100 if you have to take the computer away from mom and dad do it if they're falling for these things

02:21:47.380 they are not fit to get online and and i was just downloading photos of my grandchildren

02:21:57.140 no you gave away their inheritance that's what you did you see the nice pictures of your grandkids 0.99

02:22:03.800 they're broke now because you're an idiot i don't want to be too harsh on them but 1.00

02:22:09.100 it keeps happening and i think it is the job of the kids you know it's your job to throw them in a 1.00

02:22:16.640 an old age home

02:22:19.300 it's not an old age home

02:22:21.380 it's a retirement community

02:22:22.860 oh Jesus Christ

02:22:24.560 yeah that's your job

02:22:27.960 it's your job

02:22:29.760 to you know if they start

02:22:31.640 getting a little they're losing it a bit

02:22:33.860 you got to deal with that

02:22:35.700 and it's your job to make sure

02:22:37.680 they don't fall for these

02:22:39.060 obvious shenanigans

02:22:41.900 if I may use the word

02:22:43.820 shenanigans

02:22:45.780 Here's the latest one.

02:22:46.840 New York Police Department's Financial Crimes Task Force

02:22:49.600 is warning seniors about a scam involving, get this, gold bars.

02:22:55.600 You're like, what?

02:22:57.360 What is this?

02:22:59.300 It involves a computer pop-up.

02:23:02.280 A pop-up.

02:23:03.860 Anytime I get a pop-up, it's instantly shut down.

02:23:08.680 There is nothing, in 2026, there is nothing a pop-up is doing for you.

02:23:14.900 It claims to be from Microsoft, saying that your computer is infected with a virus.

02:23:22.040 Oh, dear.

02:23:23.400 My computer has consumption.

02:23:26.180 It's got the tuberculosis virus, and you need to call a number to get it unlocked.

02:23:33.920 Can you believe falling for this?

02:23:36.280 After calling, the victim unwittingly gives scammers access to their computer and bank accounts,

02:23:42.640 prompting more fake calls from the scammers now they pretend to be from the u.s treasury department

02:23:50.160 or the police themselves they're requesting payment in the form of gold bars to protect

02:23:57.680 their money and gold finger in this process the victim gets coerced to provide remote access

02:24:06.440 to the computers allowing these perpetrators to gain control when i'm in control it means that

02:24:14.720 they have access to your webcam your printer your audio and your computer

02:24:20.240 nypd has been investigating the case these cases since 2024 oftentimes a courier will show up to

02:24:31.040 the victim's home to collect the gold bars while both parties talk on the phone to a scammer

02:24:38.100 usually someone based in asia of course india thank you uh pretending to be uh based on u.s

02:24:46.060 soil hello my name is peter we will need gourd bars from you the callers give a code name or

02:24:53.940 number furthering convincing uh further convincing some victims that the gold bar handoff is

02:24:58.980 legitimate can you even fathom that you're getting gold bars to hand over to some stranger at your

02:25:10.500 door and that somehow you think this is on the up and up that somehow microsoft and the u.s treasury

02:25:19.100 have

02:25:20.480 it's in your best interest

02:25:23.480 to buy gold

02:25:25.760 bars and hand

02:25:27.920 it to a stranger coming to your door

02:25:30.000 oh you

02:26:03.320 technology it frightened her and i think that's a good thing technology should frighten old people 0.99

02:26:10.320 to keep them from making dumb mistakes 0.99

02:26:13.280 and handing out gold bars. 0.99

02:26:18.580 I feel bad laughing

02:26:20.560 because they probably gave away

02:26:23.360 their entire retirement

02:26:26.080 or inheritance

02:26:28.480 that they wanted to give to their kids and grandkids.

02:26:32.820 But when do you reach that point?

02:26:36.660 When do you reach the point

02:26:38.080 where it's a good idea

02:26:39.200 to dole out gold bars like Halloween candy

02:26:42.280 to strangers that have come to your door.

02:26:46.740 I don't know.

02:26:48.640 I don't know.

02:26:49.220 Anyway.

02:26:50.320 And the last thing I guess today,

02:26:55.340 on his dad, Joe, Joe Biden's cancer.

02:26:59.160 AC-8.

02:27:44.840 and it uh they knew about this when he was president they tried dragging him over the 0.96

02:27:51.540 finish line we all know that he couldn't do it thank god for that debate performance

02:27:56.340 or we would have him as president until he announced his cancer

02:28:01.680 and then Kamala Harris would be our president right now.

02:28:05.680 Thank God things didn't work out like that.

02:28:07.760 All right, I will see you back here next week.
