00:01:32.960 Oh, boy, I certainly hope you had a good week and a good weekend since we last spoke.

00:01:40.340 I'm back in South Kakalagi, my home of Greenville, South Carolina.

00:01:46.340 I was up in New York last week, and woof-ah, it was a bitch getting out of there.

00:01:54.280 LaGuardia was just packed up and canceled flights all up and down the board.

00:02:01.220 It was just crazy.

00:02:03.180 But you know what I didn't do?

00:02:05.820 I didn't walk up to the counter and start screaming and breaking the computer of the person behind the desk at the gate.

00:02:13.960 I then didn't go over to the ticket counter and do some of the same,

00:02:19.240 smashing the self-ticketing kiosks and yelling horrible obscenities at people.

00:02:26.740 No, I took my phone and I went to my Delta Airlines app and I looked for options.

00:02:33.740 And, you know, it was pretty bad.

00:02:35.760 The weather was bad.

00:02:36.800 They had some staffing problems over at Delta Airlines, LaGuardia, a bunch of airports.

00:02:43.240 and uh i had to make a contingency plan i had to get a hotel room had to stay an extra actually

00:02:51.800 two days i was stuck at a hotel right by la guardia airport for for a couple of days

00:03:00.400 but you know you you deal with things like an adult like a mature adult you reason things out

00:03:11.220 in your mind you weigh you weigh it out and go huh does this merit me going bat crap crazy until

00:03:21.520 the police cuff me and drag me away i don't think so so i didn't do that i hang out you make a few

00:03:30.620 of those uh what do they what do they call in fight club single serving friends at the hotel bar

00:03:37.000 you know you have a drink you watch the game whatever it is you just uh realize that this

00:03:44.060 is what it is and you have to use your your uh cunning your your reason reasoning your money

00:03:54.380 but that's what you do i see so many videos where people just go absolutely nuts at the airport

00:04:02.840 but that's it it was good to get home i'll tell you that much back to uh some semblance of sanity

00:04:11.320 here in uh greenville so uh i hope everyone had an equally good week as i did being stuck in

00:04:18.980 la guardia airport i'm teasing i hope you had a great great great uh week and weekend um i'm

00:04:26.000 gonna go quickly to the phones here andrea andrea how are you dear i'm doing great anthony how

00:04:32.780 Good, good.

00:04:34.740 I know Andrea from Compound Media up in New York when I was doing my podcast and everything.

00:04:39.800 She now lives in Twin Falls, Idaho, which, of course, had a bit of a dust-up yesterday.

00:04:49.120 What happened there, Andrea?

00:04:51.640 Yeah, so the In-N-Out, of course, popular restaurant just opened a week ago Friday.

00:04:57.040 So that place is so heavily concentrated, probably more so than anywhere else in the city, probably the entire county.

00:05:06.880 In initial reports that I heard maybe an hour and a half later, three dead, and I thought, not to be morbid or flippant, but that's not as many as maybe I would expect, which told me right away people were shooting back, which is exactly what happened.

00:05:25.420 i loved it i saw the clip um online of course and there's a guy he's got a cowboy hat on

00:05:33.220 he's got what looked to be a 22 pistol with a silencer on it and he's just returning fire this

00:05:40.480 guy apparently has um uh youtube channels and other social media channels where he operator

00:05:47.300 yeah they show him practicing and training and whatnot and lo and behold sometimes you know you

00:05:54.300 You might do all that training, and you will never use it.

00:05:58.580 Hopefully, you'd never have to use it.

00:06:00.020 But this guy stood his ground, and from what the police are saying, him and an off-duty cop kept him from killing a lot more people.

00:06:11.080 Yeah, that was really an incredible display.

00:06:14.120 And then, you know, I was out today and saw more than a handful of people open-carrying.

00:06:20.200 People are a little on edge.

00:06:22.000 Hopefully, they're as trained as this guy.

00:06:23.400 but he was he's probably on another level yeah already the memes were all over social media the

00:06:29.480 silhouette of him and then it's him with a through ai looking all jacked and everything

00:06:34.860 people just start posting to be cunningham standing next to him pointing but yeah exactly

00:06:40.720 exactly people get a little too excited about a tragedy like that obviously people were killed

00:06:47.740 and that's terrible aside from the gunman he was also uh self-dispatched as they say and uh good

00:06:54.580 i really wish gunman would do that before shooting other people but right operations you got to thank

00:07:00.120 them for uh helping out saving the taxpayers money saving us some aggravation uh just uh

00:07:07.080 take care of business uh yeah it would be nice if they did that beforehand but hey yeah can't

00:07:14.380 at a thousand here uh andrea so good of you to to call i appreciate the uh call and uh be well

00:07:20.360 great over there in idaho take care there it goes i know her and uh yeah that was just crazy

00:07:29.380 but it happens you know there you see it on social media and people start with the gun thing again

00:07:35.600 assault weapon he used an ar style weapon i love that an ar-15 style weapon no it's an ar-15

00:07:45.240 it's not an ar-15 style weapon but uh there were a few other things i saw on social media that

00:07:52.920 made me wince about this and it was video that people took from their cars this guy was shooting

00:08:02.200 pretty close to what looked like a major roadway and uh people saw him with his gun shooting it

00:08:09.500 uh he was shooting at a tesla that was plugged into a charger or something obviously the guy's

00:08:14.320 nuts uh and the people in the car were laughing like look at this guy shooting look at this guy

00:08:22.200 shooting what's he doing and they're laughing and they're laughing at the people running out

00:08:28.040 of the in and out burger it was just you know you watch that and go i can understand how people

00:08:36.000 have gotten desensitized to watching a lot of tragedy on social media which is terrible in and

00:08:43.360 of itself but uh i still walk away from watching those videos with a sense of god that's terrible

00:08:51.920 and you've got some sense of empathy for the victims and their families.

00:08:56.900 To just laugh at this stuff is so despicable.

00:09:02.000 And you are so separated and removed from civil society.

00:09:08.900 It's disgusting.

00:09:11.000 You know, it doesn't make them much better than the person doing the shooting.

00:09:15.800 It seems sociopathic.

00:09:17.960 so uh yeah that was uh that was a moment i was watching on social media and just going like oh

00:09:24.780 my god what's wrong with people what's wrong with people plenty if there wasn't stuff wrong with

00:09:30.060 people i wouldn't have this very program that you listen to thank you very much anyway thoughts and

00:09:36.860 prayers to the people there uh the victims and their families and uh kudos to the gentleman that

00:09:44.300 an armed citizen that started firing back you'll notice with a lot of these mass shooters and these

00:09:54.080 shooters that want to go out and and kill people at random they have to alter their plans when

00:10:02.900 anyone starts firing back at them they can't just skip along their merry way shooting people

00:10:11.200 because now they are being shot at so while i read a lot of comments from people saying that's

00:10:17.760 terrible it's irresponsible what does he know what his back uh you know uh the background of

00:10:24.520 where he's shooting is he going to hit an innocent person he can get shot uh all kinds of people that

00:10:31.620 were saying all kinds of negative things about this guy using his gun to try to dispatch a uh a

00:10:38.700 gunman uh yeah that could happen you're right you're right pulling out a gun and shooting at

00:10:47.580 somebody that is shooting people it's not a guarantee win you can get killed it's happened

00:10:55.280 something might happen you don't know those bullets go if you miss who knows you hope you

00:11:02.620 don't hit anybody that wasn't uh the intended target but there's no guarantees i i do think

00:11:10.780 that if you don't shoot at these people they will do a lot more damage than the potential damage

00:11:18.340 a trained civilian with a gun who's trying to prevent somebody from killing people will do

00:11:26.520 I think the trade-off is a hell of a lot better if somebody is shooting at a gunman that is killing innocent people.

00:11:38.500 They talk about that with one of the movie theater shootings that happened years ago.

00:11:44.820 They said, what are you going to do, shoot in a crowded movie theater?

00:11:48.800 Well, you're not just going to start blasting, but I'll tell you what really didn't work.

00:11:54.240 the fact that people were against the doors they couldn't get out and this guy could shoot into a

00:12:01.460 crowd of people with impunity that isn't good an armed civilian or two who who could see the gunman

00:12:11.360 maybe get a clear shot that's a hell of a lot better than this guy just having fish in a barrel

00:12:18.720 to shoot but all these they will just sit there and type away on social media it's terrible the

00:12:26.460 police are the ones you should call and get the yeah someone should call the police but in between

00:12:32.480 uh calling and the police getting there a lot more people could die at the hands of this uh

00:12:37.780 lunatic so i am 100 for uh civilians being trained you got to train you got to know what uh uh what

00:12:48.400 to do in those situations you got to be proficient what not to do plenty of things but uh kudos

00:12:55.760 kudos to the gentleman that fought back awesome uh you want to call do you 800-848-9222

00:13:04.280 800-848-9222 uh your calls live when we return to more of the anthony cobia show

00:13:13.000 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:13:15.680 And, yeah, just talking about that tragic shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho.

00:13:21.820 And the guy, what's his name, Chad, Chad Williams.

00:13:29.240 Yeah, just another one of these mental patients.

00:13:33.680 I don't know what else to call him.

00:13:35.020 I don't even know what his motivation was in this one.

00:13:38.320 it's uh uh they never really they really never really let us know what's going on anymore

00:13:45.660 these things happen depending on who the person was and what the situation was and how many people

00:13:52.020 were shot uh it's limited information and the story it just goes away this story's done already

00:13:59.200 this story's done no one's really talking about it anymore and uh it just goes to show you how

00:14:05.200 jaded we become with these things something that might have been a news story for a week and

00:14:11.840 some in-depth investigative journalism on it nothing now you get nothing you ever heard the

00:15:49.780 But I'm talking about all the important things on this show,

00:15:55.560 the things that matter, like the WNBA.

00:16:00.300 Oh, yes.

00:16:02.040 Ugh.

00:16:03.760 Has anyone else noticed that the only time anyone talks about the WNBA

00:16:10.040 is to talk about stuff that has nothing to do with the game of basketball?

00:16:17.800 It's never, you know, occasionally they'll talk about how Caitlin Clark is good.

00:16:22.600 And you'll see a clip of her sinking a few, eh, pretty rudimentary three-pointers and stuff.

00:16:29.100 But that's unbelievably good in the WNBA, because someone like Angel Reese, who can't

00:16:36.280 even do a simple layup, and these are, you know, athletes, women, they should be paid

00:16:41.560 as much as the NBA, and people watch it, and they go, yeah, you're out of your mind.

00:16:47.920 This league, it's a joke league, and I think they know that the only type of publicity

00:16:56.080 they're ever going to get is by having conflict over whatever racial conflict between the players

00:17:05.540 sexuality conflict between the lesbians and the straight women uh trans rights that whatever it

00:17:14.020 is conflict no one cares about these games i've never heard even my my most uh uh addicted to

00:17:25.460 gambling friends i never get a text from them going oh boy i lost a bundle on the wnba tonight

00:17:33.620 i i never hear it it just doesn't happen no one cares but uh like i said the the news the the

00:17:43.440 only time wnba makes the news is when there's conflict or some type of infighting or a

00:17:50.280 controversial topic and of course uh sophie cunningham the other very popular uh straight

00:17:58.600 white girl in the league so like caitlin clark she's an outcast she's a player to get an elbow

00:18:05.660 in the face uh and not have a foul called you know conflict she uh dared to speak her mind about

00:18:14.140 men in women's sports transgender men or women i always get that wrong if you're a transgender

00:18:22.480 woman you were a man and then you're a woman right so uh transgender women who were men

00:18:32.900 uh shouldn't be playing against women in women's sports this is so basic this is so just

00:18:43.680 yes of course not who who in their right mind would say that they should be competing with

00:18:52.440 women but we have a segment of society that is out of their minds and i mean that quite literally i

00:19:02.180 i don't just say they're crazy because they don't agree with what i think is appropriate

00:19:07.800 they are really crazy people every day on social media i'll see videos posted of transgender women

00:19:17.320 uh talking about how they want their rights and they're being persecuted and they can't use the

00:19:25.420 bathroom they want to use and they are from a horror movie i mean a horror movie genuinely

00:19:35.060 a jump scare when you see them the male pattern baldness riffraff from rocky horror that hairdo

00:19:46.320 the the jesse the body hairdo i'm a transgender woman you're it's ma'am sir my hair i have

00:19:56.200 luxurious blonde locks of hair cascading onto my feather boa around my shoulders oh the top

00:20:05.600 yeah bald as a cue ball but i'm hot are you jesse he wouldn't even have to change his name

00:20:13.220 jesse but uh yeah they they get on social media and start talking like they're women and they're

00:20:22.140 nightmarishly horrific i'm not going to play the game i don't want to play that game

00:20:28.400 they make up the rules they make up the penalties if you don't play the game and they insist you

00:20:35.100 play it and uh this has been a problem this is the coach of the uh indiana is it indiana fever

00:20:46.680 see i don't really know it oh it's well there's one for the minnesota links

00:20:53.440 right and then there's the other clip which is uh the fever coach because she's babbling about

00:21:00.240 transgender sports and uh she she's petrified it seems like to give an answer she's just babbling

00:21:09.840 back and forth about it do you have that one what's your stance what is your stance on men

00:21:15.220 or athletes who test as biological male participating in women's sports.

00:21:19.160 What's your personal stance?

00:21:20.720 Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I would say that I'm educated enough

00:21:24.480 from a scientific standpoint.

00:21:26.420 What?

00:21:26.900 I don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer.

00:21:29.220 I just don't.

00:21:30.000 Ever?

00:21:30.260 I do think, you know, when we think about various levels of sport,

00:21:36.300 various governing bodies of sport and things that go into that.

00:21:39.520 Listen to this chicken scratch.

00:21:41.260 I'm not educated enough at the different levels.

00:21:43.060 I know growing up, I played with the boys all the time.

00:21:45.860 So they were in girls sports.

00:21:46.940 Would you welcome a biological male in WNBA?

00:21:50.940 Again, it's like I don't know when we talk about biological male

00:21:55.340 and scientifically where we are.

00:21:56.940 I think it's a totally different scenario.

00:21:59.700 You know, as I said, I'm not educated enough in terms of transgender

00:22:04.300 and transitioning to give you a smart answer.

00:22:10.360 I would say, though, that I just don't feel like exclusion is an answer.

00:22:13.620 And I think that we need to have deeper, more layered conversations.

00:22:17.380 Do you be okay with them in the locker room?

00:22:19.680 Is there any frustration?

00:22:22.400 Because you guys are in a really fantastic run.

00:22:23.660 You could end it there.

00:22:25.060 She will not give an answer.

00:22:27.600 And her cop-out is, oh, I don't know.

00:22:31.140 I don't have the knowledge.

00:22:33.440 You know, the science behind it.

00:22:35.240 Oh, because you have to have a test tubes and beakers and Bunsen burners set up

00:22:40.340 to know that a guy will kick ass when playing sports against women.

00:22:46.300 That's just the way it is.

00:22:48.540 And I don't care what you call yourself.

00:22:50.440 I don't care how many hormones you've taken.

00:22:52.580 The structure of the male body just dictates that he will do better.

00:22:59.820 he will do better in a sport physical sport than a woman will and then she goes you know as a kid

00:23:09.040 i used to play sports with the guys yeah you knock around on the lawn on thanksgiving throwing a

00:23:15.360 football around the guy comes up to you and grabs you by the hips and goes oh look out i got you

00:23:20.340 did somebody run full speed and smash into you did a guy uh pitch a baseball at 90 miles an hour

00:23:32.860 past you for you to hit did you wrestle or box as a woman with the guys because you know she's

00:23:41.380 one of those knock around girls played with the guys this is a woman who will not take a stand

00:23:48.140 will not she's so petrified and look maybe maybe i shouldn't blame her because look at the hell

00:23:55.140 you go through if you have your own opinion on some of these issues so if she says yeah i don't

00:24:02.200 think it's appropriate for guys to be they're not men they're just as much a woman as any woman on

00:24:10.100 oh are they are they really it is an abomination to allow men to compete against women in these

00:24:22.360 sports and i'm not breaking any new ground here this is something we all know it's something that

00:24:28.920 you don't have to be a genius to figure out that men are much more suited to physical sports

00:24:36.800 than a woman so all right don't you go anywhere and uh talking about uh wnba all the controversy

00:24:45.860 with should men trans women be able to play and um it seems that the uh the minnesota links coach

00:24:56.640 cheryl reeve she was wearing a shirt during one of the games over the weekend here that said uh

00:25:05.120 uh it was a trans rights shirt trans children trans girls trans rights trans kids whatever it

00:25:14.280 was she was on the sideline coaching a team wearing this pro trans shirt now i'm not going

00:25:24.600 to say people can't wear uh shirts that's fine if there's a rule that they have to dress in a suit

00:25:32.020 You know, some of these some of these sports are pretty funny.

00:25:35.960 They make the guys wear suits. Hockey, they wear suits, right?

00:25:39.660 They stand there. The coach is in a suit.

00:25:43.440 He's not going to suit up. Baseball's funny because they wear the uniform.

00:25:47.280 Plenty of comics have done that whole thing.

00:25:49.300 Like they're going to send some 60 year old guy in to hit.

00:25:53.360 So he's got to have his uniform on football.

00:25:56.500 You know, obviously they're not wearing.

00:26:28.560 I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify.

00:26:32.280 Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing,

00:26:35.480 I never turned back.

00:26:36.760 I can create a site with my eyes closed.

00:26:39.420 Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know,

00:26:42.220 and it thinks about the customer more than anything.

00:26:45.420 Every day I'm thinking about some other new business,

00:26:47.600 but Shopify is doing it to me

00:26:49.220 because it's so easy to use.

00:26:51.120 It's like I can't stop, I'm addicted.

00:26:52.620 it start your free trial at shopify.com uh the helmet and shoulder pads but they got the sweater

00:27:00.360 on with the team logo and the hat and everything but uh yeah i don't really care if you're gonna

00:27:07.760 wear a trans shirt but i do hate hypocrisy and i know damn well that if anyone i'm not even talking

00:27:17.900 somebody on one of the teams or a coach or the water boy someone in the stands is wearing a

00:27:25.260 shirt that says men are men and women are women there's no such thing as trans kids if if someone

00:27:32.960 was wearing that i would bet every cent i have they would be ejected from the the arena and if

00:27:41.720 you were on the team or the coach of a team you would be suspended and there'd be the apology

00:27:47.580 tour and everything else that's what i don't like the idea that this woman coach can wear a a pro

00:27:57.180 trans in sports shirt and uh it's fine there were a couple of girls that were supporting

00:28:06.320 uh sophie cunningham at one of the games and they had some signs that had to do with uh they

00:28:13.560 didn't like the idea of trans women being in sports against women and playing in the wmba

00:28:21.360 and uh they had their signs taken away and meanwhile not far from them were a couple of

00:28:30.640 other people that had signs supporting trans athletes in sports they were left alone

00:28:37.940 so you know it can't go one way and not the other the hypocrisy the left is like that constantly

00:28:47.760 they will not allow you to have your opinion and they will fight it with violence if need be

00:28:55.920 when meanwhile a true conservative someone truly uh on the right a real republican a real american

00:29:06.140 has that attitude of fighting to protect people's rights even if they don't jibe with

00:29:15.000 with your opinions but i have seen so much of the left resorting to at least horrific language

00:29:25.240 and they don't get arrested like shiloh hendricks did at the uh at the playground

00:29:30.340 and and they will resort to violence and in this situation they will not allow you

00:29:38.360 to display anything that is against the idea of trans women men uh competing

00:29:47.160 in women's sports so here is uh an espn broadcast they showed the minnesota links coach

00:29:56.240 cheryl reeve uh i hate that i know this much about the wmba i hate that i have to know this

00:30:04.580 much about it and uh cheryl reeve was wearing that trans pro trans shirt and espn the announcers

00:30:13.660 calling the game had some comments about it and it was nothing but glowing oozing support

00:30:20.900 for trans in women's sports.

00:30:25.760 Listen to this.

00:30:28.640 Well, we see Cheryl Reeve wearing a shirt today

00:30:31.780 in support of trans kids.

00:30:35.260 Trans kids belong on the shirt.

00:30:37.420 This is the aftermath of Sophie Cunningham's recent comments.

00:30:40.700 We actually saw Cheryl and Sophie speaking at center court pregame.

00:30:46.880 And yesterday, Cheryl Reeves spent a lot of time talking at length with the media about this topic.

00:30:53.140 I would encourage anyone to go and listen to Cheryl Reeves' comments.

00:30:56.600 Incredibly thoughtful.

00:30:58.940 Easy to find online.

00:31:04.200 Just encourage anyone to go and listen.

00:31:06.700 Yeah, go and listen.

00:31:08.700 Go and listen to the woman wearing the trans shirt, and she's the coach, and go listen to that.

00:31:16.020 and and here we go again with the hypocrisy hypocrisy let's say there was somebody wearing

00:31:24.180 one of those uh there's no such thing as trans kids shirts and uh they're outspoken about uh

00:31:33.680 they their their displeasure with men playing against women and women's sports and uh the

00:31:42.180 camera went to that person and the espn commentator said oh yeah look at that person with that shirt

00:31:49.000 you know they have uh they gave a little speech about how kids can't be transgender

00:31:55.700 uh and it's interesting i think everybody should look that up and give it a good listen

00:32:01.360 you couldn't time how quickly they would be thrown out and fired from espn

00:32:11.620 it would happen in in a flash and that's my issue not that she's wearing a trans shirt i good

00:32:20.740 have a blast with it go ahead and and crap all over the the real women who are playing these

00:32:27.740 sports put them in danger of injuries we saw in the olympics oh yeah they're all the same

00:32:34.860 trans women are just like regular women so let's put a trans woman and a woman in the boxing ring

00:32:41.280 the woman came out looking like chop meat she was a mess it is a danger to women you have other

00:32:52.040 women it's a simple game like volleyball and a trans woman spiked the ball into another girl's

00:32:57.960 face she got a concussion and a brain bleed and a broken nose but you know we all have to play

00:33:05.540 their little game we all have to play their little game i'm a woman oh yes of course you are

00:33:11.940 of course you're a woman oh how how we we we're we're supposed to just lie to ourselves

00:33:23.300 yeah i don't like that very much i've done my share of lying to other people over my life

00:33:29.840 some of it i'm ashamed of some of it i really have no choice in the matter

00:33:35.740 but one person i've never lied to is me i've always been honest with myself

00:33:44.160 if you're not you are in a hell of a bad place in in life so i'm not going to lie to myself

00:33:51.740 and refer to these men as women i'm just not going to do it no matter what they call me

00:33:58.900 or what consequences there are

00:34:02.280 or how many people are playing

00:34:05.740 along with this ridiculous game,

00:34:08.440 this word game.

00:34:10.980 Nonsense.

00:34:12.460 Nonsense, I tell you.

00:34:15.020 Yeah, unbelievable.

00:34:17.400 All right.

00:34:18.220 Oh, look at this.

00:35:04.440 Yeah. So so check this out. So I'm going to read verbatim what this woman put on my car door.

00:35:09.200 She goes, I quote, yes, your windows are open, but your dog is struggling.

00:35:16.440 I watched on smiley face. Well, guess what? Then my dog's chain disappears.

00:35:22.160 Now, here's the thing. I thought of police report. You know why? It's broken, broken.

00:35:26.880 what is that called broken glass uh broken window policy or yeah yeah yeah so basically

00:35:34.080 nip it in the bud he's he's almost he's a he's a belgian malinois like yours and uh

00:37:02.900 Look, I don't want to see a dog suffering in a car like that.

00:37:07.000 But, yeah, if the windows are open and the sunroof is open and everything, mind your own business.

00:37:13.540 I could see.

00:37:14.460 You know what it is?

00:37:15.000 people want to be heroes this woman probably wanted to be like oh look at me i'm saving a dog

00:37:42.120 nice place occasionally you know you don't know we have a neighbor way up the street he's not even

00:37:48.100 my neighbor but my good neighbor uh he's his neighbor kind of a thing you know and he's just

00:37:57.200 a nightmare and we have a great street here just great people they're fun we go out together to

00:38:03.620 to bars and and then there's this house at the end of the road you know you just can't ever bat

00:38:11.480 a thousand when it comes to uh neighbors but you know it's part of it you gotta deal with it you

00:38:17.900 gotta uh get through it and uh live amongst them peacefully what else are you gonna do

00:38:24.540 you know what's with all these calls dropping i see like calls come in and then the phone lines

00:38:32.520 get full and then they all disappear within like a second is there a problem at home base i don't

00:38:38.080 know about mission control no they're just hanging up before we we get to them they're so excited

00:38:45.280 to call they call they get put up on the thing and then they they hang up maybe stage fright

00:38:52.460 maybe it's a little stage fright i don't know um here's another thing you know we might as well

00:38:59.780 continue with the uh plenty of it the the trans nonsense for a moment amy klobuchar amy klobuchar

00:39:07.700 She was speaking with the director of the National Center for Trans Equality, you know, the NCTE.

00:39:17.580 And this is hilarious because, you know, you're going to hear this.

00:39:21.940 You're not going to see the video.

00:39:23.120 But trust me, this man that you'll hear speaking is dressed like a woman.

00:39:29.780 But it's obviously a man.

00:39:32.320 Years ago, this would be a joke.

00:39:33.980 This would be a sight gag.

00:39:35.660 this would be clinger on mash these were laughing matters years ago and now you're supposed to just

00:39:43.160 play along with uh with this ridiculous charade that's being perpetrated but um she's uh speaking

00:39:51.960 with the director about trans equality ac 13 is the clip let's listen to amy klobuchar

00:39:59.840 The president and Secretary DeVos have made it clear that they're not going to enforce Title IX sex discrimination protections for trans students.

00:40:07.740 And those have meant so much.

00:40:10.800 And a lot of folks worked really hard with the Obama administration to get those in place.

00:40:15.600 Do you have a plan for that, or what can trans students expect from you?

00:40:19.560 Well, they can expect that immediately I would bring back those rules.

00:40:23.200 And you don't need an act of Congress to do it if they get worried about how long that takes over there in the gridlock.

00:40:28.260 you can do it yourself and so i will do that immediately i pledge to you that right now

00:40:33.380 okay oh she pledges to and what are they talking about trans rights what are they talking about

00:40:40.200 trans people have every right everyone else has so they're not talking about rights trans rights

00:40:48.120 they're talking about privileges they're talking about infringing on other people's

00:40:55.620 privileges or or maybe not constitutional rights but your rights as a a person to be able to go

00:41:03.060 into a bathroom or have your child with you when you go into a bathroom and not have to look at a

00:41:10.080 genuine monster a real life monster parading around in the restroom uh with god knows what

00:41:19.100 intent when uh when they're in there that's all they're talking about and amy klobuchar

00:41:25.480 is sitting there as the cheerleader for this oh i get you know i will sign that sign it in a minute

00:41:33.360 we'll make sure this is what's in store if uh things go the democrat way uh in the midterms

00:41:42.520 and then, God forbid, the presidency.

00:41:45.160 But this is absolutely where we are if this happens.

00:41:50.940 Every bad thing that was starting to happen,

00:41:55.020 and that had happened under Biden and the Democrats,

00:41:59.400 they will go 110% back to where they were

00:42:06.140 to screw this country up.

00:42:08.700 Immigration, illegal immigration,

00:42:11.220 it won't stop it'll look like spain it'll look like what happened over there in spain

00:42:16.460 actually morocco but they say it's spain i don't know i looked at a map kind of weird but uh yeah

00:42:23.520 they saw here's what happens the democrats see what the republicans can do if they're given

00:42:32.920 four years of a president and the house and senate even without a big majority they saw that

00:42:40.640 they could shut the border they could start throwing people out of the country they could

00:42:47.900 stop some of this insane left-wing extremist nonsense that's been going on in this country

00:42:56.560 and they know that they saw it and i think their plan is to just go balls out 110 percent

00:43:06.320 If they get power, day one, they are going to ramp it right up.

00:43:13.220 No fooling around, no trying to present it in a way that's more palatable to every American.

00:43:20.240 They are just going to go full left-wing extremism.

00:43:25.900 And you are going to see some situations, especially the border.

00:43:29.860 you don't remember when you watched uh the videos uh of of two spanish towns being overrun

00:43:40.660 by muslims uh it looked familiar didn't it it did i don't know if people have a memory problem

00:43:49.940 but it sure looked like those caravans that were coming from central america

00:43:55.180 South America and Mexico because Joe Biden was welcoming them all in using bulldozers both

00:44:03.080 bulldozers to tear down the barbed wire fences that were trying to keep them out come on in

00:44:10.000 everyone and we saw miles and miles of people coming into this country invading it and now

00:44:19.000 we're stuck with the chore of throwing them out what what do you what do you think is going to

00:44:26.380 happen if they get in power again we will see that again and it'll be faster it'll happen faster

00:44:34.500 and it will be a lot more trust me on that people back in a minute don't go anywhere

00:44:41.800 The Anthony Cuglia Show.

00:44:46.180 Let's see.

00:44:47.100 There's so much.

00:44:49.420 Woman upset.

00:44:51.620 And this is what I'm talking about.

00:44:52.960 A woman upset that a doctor wasn't playing the game.

00:44:57.920 The game I'm talking about.

00:44:59.240 Of course, you must call people by their proper pronouns.

00:45:04.020 And you must be called cisgender.

00:45:07.000 If anyone ever called me sis, it's it's a term they came up with to demean and degrade and insult heterosexual, straight, normal people.

00:45:22.900 That's what it is.

00:45:24.780 Oh, you're sis.

00:45:26.100 What?

00:45:27.240 What would you call me?

00:45:29.560 No, no, no.

00:45:30.380 I'm not your sis.

00:45:31.700 OK.

00:45:33.540 Oh, you want to smack him.

00:45:36.320 sis stop it so uh this woman apparently she's going to make a doctor's appointment for her

00:45:45.280 and her spouse now i don't know what the spouse was i can only assume another disaster but uh

00:45:54.240 called up the the doctor's uh receptionist to make the appointment and oh my god how horrible

00:46:02.600 The receptionist would not play along, but it's it's even better than that.

00:46:07.500 The receptionist didn't even know they were supposed to be playing along.

00:46:13.040 These people think you should have some kind of extrasensory perception when you're talking to a member of the LGBTQ plus a one community.

00:46:27.400 and uh this woman got upset because the woman uh at the desk the receptionist didn't have some kind

00:46:35.460 of esp and uh and no but listen how insane this is and then remember this is a doctor's office

00:46:43.480 where you have to give some pertinent information to the receptionist that will come out and be

00:46:50.800 important to the doctor when you walk in there so this is a ac 15 listen to this this is me

00:46:57.980 kindly begging cisgender heterosexual people to listen to the language that queer and trans people

00:47:01.900 are using and then follow it i recently made an appointment for myself and my spouse at a new

00:47:06.480 doctor and i told them i was going to make an appointment for my spouse and they said okay

00:47:10.940 what's your spouse's name and i said their name is kate and then the receptionist person immediately

00:47:17.160 was like okay so she's all set and she's gonna do this and she she she she how dare her never

00:47:22.240 did i use she her pronouns i said spouse i use they them pronouns and i think maybe she just

00:47:29.340 assumed because my spouse has a traditionally feminine name but i clearly modeled the language

00:47:35.620 for her and it just like makes it really awkward if you just kind of like disregard the language

00:47:41.640 that queer and trans people are using um and then i don't know it's like awkward for everyone so

00:47:47.080 this is just a piece awkward for you pay attention to the language that people are using and then

00:47:51.660 like try to model it it's really not that hard it's really not that hard what's your spouse's

00:47:58.460 name kate uh their their name is kate oh okay well have her come in oh oh how dare you how dare you

00:48:09.880 not figure out what is this a puzzle is this wordle or crypto quote or or to jumble what what

00:48:20.320 games are we supposed to play to satisfy these mentally ill people who are these people it's

00:48:28.040 it's crazy and you're going to a doctor for god's sake i think a doctor gets uh a pass on

00:48:40.620 all that nonsense because if your spouse is a trans woman uh the doctor's gonna need to know

00:48:50.520 a few things that might be uncomfortable for the woman to talk about like a balls

00:48:58.680 you know what i mean oh don't call my my spouse that my spouse is is a woman just as much a woman

00:49:10.220 as your receptionist out there who insulted us really okay well your your wife has a swollen

00:50:07.400 kicker of this whole thing we're expected to go oh yeah and they get mad like this they make

00:50:15.940 videos and get angry with us if we aren't playing along if we don't know when she said their name

00:50:22.180 is kate that we should have you know beep beep beep our radar should have gone and go i bet by

00:50:27.880 there she means a they them thing right so what i'm gonna do

00:53:19.520 bells i know when i first saw it i thought it was fireballs but it's fire bells because they're

00:53:26.260 girls and fireballs might be controversial too because it's san francisco and a lot of

00:53:31.800 stds give you a burning sensation a burning sense that we we get it anthony uh so those are your

00:53:40.740 four teams in the uh women's baseball league whatever they had their big kickoff this weekend

00:54:21.780 dancing in the streets of course made famous by mick jagger and david bowie and one of the most

00:54:28.620 gay videos you would ever see on mtv and uh yeah she was a big uh a big star so uh they they got

00:54:41.140 her to sing the national anthem at the first game for the national uh the women's baseball

00:54:47.540 league so uh the the video is hilarious if you get a chance find it and watch it because

00:54:54.640 The people on the teams, the people in the sparse crowd, they were quite literally laughing at this rendition of the National Anthem by Martha Reeves from the Vandels.

00:55:10.920 Let's give it a listen.

00:55:11.780 Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we have seen.

00:55:24.640 at the twilight's last gleaming

00:55:29.880 Whose broad stripes and bright stars

00:55:34.860 Through the perilous fight

00:55:39.260 O'er the ramparts we watched

00:55:43.680 Were so gallantly streaming

00:55:47.120 Here we go, the high part

00:55:47.980 And the rocket's red glare

00:55:52.940 The bombs bursting in air

00:55:56.700 Gave proof through the night

00:56:00.620 That our flag was still there

00:56:04.640 Bring it on home, Martha

00:56:05.920 Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

00:56:17.940 oh wow wow we wow that was better than Enrico Palazzo that was the national

00:56:41.000 anthem if only Francis Scott Key could see that now and hear that and

00:56:47.120 scribble out whatever he had on his notepad that fateful evening but uh there you go

00:56:54.980 martha from the uh martha reeves and the vandellas hey she's still alive give her that right

00:57:03.140 who am i to say she's still doing it she's out there singing god knows what but uh yeah the

00:57:11.440 crowd is so funny to watch in that video oh sounds like joanne whirly oh uh there you go but there's

00:57:24.080 a woman's uh baseball league just in case you need something else to bet on with uh your various

00:57:29.780 online betting platforms go ahead do it up let us speak with tom tom is in the bronx what's up

00:57:40.880 Anthony, Anthony, I was reading your bio.

00:57:44.760 You and me, we're on the same page.

00:57:46.520 I'm moving down to South Carolina.

00:57:48.380 There you go.

00:57:48.900 I'm going to get a full carry permit.

00:57:50.440 My friend just moved on there.

00:57:52.180 He says, Tom, they don't tolerate crap like they do up in the Bronx.

00:57:56.320 They don't.

00:57:57.100 The people, they unite.

00:57:59.380 And if they see a problem popping off, the people deal with it before the cops even get there.

00:58:06.500 And enough people know that, that they don't start trouble down here.

00:58:10.520 It happens.

00:58:11.280 Look, nothing's perfect.

00:58:12.880 But people know that if they start popping off in a store, in a restaurant, wherever they are,

00:58:18.860 that the other people around them are going to look and go, no, we don't do that here.

00:58:23.160 We don't do that.

00:58:24.520 And they're going to shame them.

00:58:25.820 And if push comes to shove, there might be a push or a shove.

00:58:29.380 But, yeah, it's totally different, Tom.

00:58:32.560 I know.

00:58:33.320 I know.

00:58:33.720 I go to the same place all the time for breakfast.

00:58:37.000 It happens to be a White Castle.

00:58:38.260 And when people come in and start pain handling, and they get aggressive, I say, I yell at them, and I get in this space, and I say, I'm 74, Anthony, but I was a gym teacher, I worked out with weights, I got about 200 pounds.

00:58:52.220 So when I get in, all of a sudden, crazy people become quite normal.

00:58:56.140 When you're within arm length, and you may be able to pop them in the nose, I'm sorry, and they walk out.

00:59:01.860 I say, don't come back.

00:59:03.720 People are, you know, people are scared.

00:59:05.720 But I'll tell you, Tom, especially when, you know, you're not a kid, technically speaking, anymore.

00:59:12.380 It's much better, nicer, and easier if that stuff isn't even happening to you.

00:59:19.220 I understand, you know, you're in the Bronx.

00:59:20.980 That's why you moved to South Carolina.

00:59:23.640 Yeah.

00:59:24.380 What is it?

00:59:25.300 Calabash.

00:59:25.860 You know, you heard of Calabash?

00:59:27.440 I've heard of it.

00:59:28.240 Jimmy Duranthi used to say, good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

00:59:32.700 That was his wife.

00:59:33.100 Well, you are showing your age there, Tom.

00:59:35.960 Yeah.

00:59:36.380 Well, I used to like him.

00:59:38.300 You know why?

00:59:38.820 Ah, cha-cha-cha-cha.

00:59:40.520 I remember.

00:59:41.160 He used to bust up pianos.

00:59:42.180 As a kid.

00:59:43.040 He had to break a piano.

00:59:44.160 You'd laugh at his big nose as a kid.

00:59:46.140 It was funny.

00:59:46.700 I know.

00:59:47.400 But you know what?

00:59:48.100 It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

00:59:50.680 And if we let these low-wifes run our cities, I mean, these bicycle guys come by on e-scooters.

00:59:57.280 Yep.

00:59:57.760 They'll knock you right over.

00:59:59.020 I'm ready.

00:59:59.620 One of these guys knocks me over.

01:00:01.260 I will get him, and I'll do what the cops can't do.

01:00:03.560 And I told that to cops.

01:00:05.000 I said, listen, I know you're worried about your pension,

01:00:07.740 and you're not getting the qualified immunity,

01:00:10.960 so make sure the way you look the other way when these guys zoom past me

01:00:15.180 on a sidewalk with an e-bike, that when I go to town on them,

01:00:19.020 you look the other way.

01:00:19.960 You afford me the same courtesy.

01:00:22.180 And as far as transgender and sports, I would be like it.

01:00:24.340 I don't think they even care anymore.

01:00:26.580 I don't think the cops even care anymore.

01:00:28.660 They'll probably say, yeah, go ahead.

01:00:30.180 You know, they demoralized and that's how you beat an army can be destroyed by demoralizing for the Russians.

01:00:37.880 They couldn't bring their dead off the off the battlefield in Afghanistan.

01:00:41.160 They were demoralized. That's what they do. It's a form of psycholize.

01:00:46.020 But I don't care. I push back. And what they were saying, how come no law firm stood up and defended those girls who were told to leave the stadium because I don't know.

01:00:57.360 I don't know.

01:00:57.880 Maybe they will.

01:00:58.640 Yeah, because they're pussies.

01:01:00.480 Maybe they will, but you know what the problem is?

01:01:02.680 People, conservatives, people on the right, they usually don't play that game.

01:01:08.180 They don't do that.

01:01:09.100 They don't go running to court and get Ben Crump and Al Sharpton

01:01:13.760 and everybody else on their side.

01:01:15.860 He was a piece of turd.

01:01:17.180 Oh, of course.

01:01:19.720 Wappinger Falls, my friend came from there,

01:01:22.420 and Sharpton became Al Sharpton back in the day.

01:01:25.300 Yeah, and she was a BIT, and all the lawyers got disbarred.

01:01:31.980 They were all full of crap.

01:01:33.140 Mason and Maddox and company.

01:01:36.360 You look at Europe, you look at England, that could be the future of America.

01:01:42.080 It's a shame.

01:01:42.940 It's a shame.

01:01:43.500 Tom, thanks for the call, my brother.

01:01:45.080 Okay.

01:01:45.400 And I hope to see you down in greener pastures down here.

01:01:50.120 I'll sell anyone on getting the hell out of that hell hole

01:01:54.900 that is New York at this point.

01:01:59.900 You know, I got some stories coming up from Zoran Mamdani and company.

01:02:06.300 The DSA.

01:02:07.960 They're not even saying Democrat Socialists anymore

01:02:10.940 because they know that's harmful.

01:02:13.340 So they just call it DSA.

01:02:15.540 You know, oh, the DSA, the Democrat Socialists.

01:02:17.800 You're like, what?

01:02:19.420 No, these are communists.

01:02:21.800 And the great young people of our cities and our country are embracing this nonsense.

01:02:29.140 And that's why whenever anybody says, you know, we ought to lower the voting age to like 16, it's bad enough.

01:02:37.700 It's bad enough that these young people have no concept or clue how anything works, especially economics.

01:02:48.120 and and they're thinking socialism is the answer what a dumb thing to uh to get in your head

01:02:56.680 meanwhile they love having things they're some of the most materialistic people you'll ever see

01:03:03.600 but they're just crowing about socialism because they think all the stuff they have

01:03:09.400 is going to be free oh my phone my designer clothes and my jordans that'll all be free now

01:03:18.220 No, no, you don't understand.

01:03:19.840 All that goes away.

01:03:21.620 You'll all get free stuff, but it'll be rags.

01:03:24.540 You'll have a burlap shirt.

01:03:26.860 You'll have polyester pants and shoes that fall apart in a month.

01:03:32.840 Ask anyone from any socialist slash communist country.

01:03:37.660 You're not going to be living large like you are now,

01:03:41.240 living here suckling from the bosom of the United States of America

01:03:46.440 while you crap all over it ah people all right back in a minute

01:03:51.080 my god uh this past week we saw uh dr fauci dr fauci in front of uh the the congressional hearing

01:04:03.300 um and oh boy did he look silly but what'll come of it you know i hate to just rain on everyone's

01:04:14.880 parade i know everyone always whenever they have these hearings and whenever the accusations are

01:04:22.040 made and and someone's brought up in front of a hearing everyone goes ah there finally the truth

01:04:30.740 is going to come out and what do you see you go on social media what memes do you see the person

01:04:36.620 whoever it is in the orange jumpsuit behind bars everyone makes up their little meme there he is

01:04:42.820 dr fauci there's some big thug behind him in the jail cell he's sweating and looking scared

01:04:50.360 makes a great meme it's a great fantasy that uh dr fauci may have to pay for his crimes against

01:04:59.160 humanity but what what has ever happened to anyone dragged in front of one of these hearings

01:05:06.580 they get lambasted a little bit you know some of these guys they uh they're up there the senators

01:05:14.400 are congress people and they're they're just calling them uh worthless pieces of garbage

01:05:20.020 communists monsters criminals and then uh it's over and just like now that hearing's over

01:05:27.920 the fauci's not in jail he's not under threat of arrest or the fbi raiding his house he's he's

01:05:36.340 home watching tv with his wife or something uh unfortunately nothing comes of it but it is

01:05:43.880 entertaining i will say it's entertaining to watch so uh uh ran paul was uh leading

01:05:52.740 the show he was the uh master of ceremonies of this show and uh he laid into uh dr fauci

01:06:03.320 pretty good pretty pretty pretty good and then dr fauci's turn to take the mic and plead the

01:06:12.800 fifth amendment he pled the fifth uh but he had a few things to say about the hearing uh before he

01:06:22.260 said that he would be answering every question with the fifth amendment so let's hear a dr

01:06:27.720 Fauci and what he had to say at the hearing, the only thing he had to say.

01:06:34.060 However, given Senator Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution,

01:06:41.440 his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted

01:06:52.760 personal diary and that embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach

01:07:02.420 is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something,

01:07:10.880 anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words,

01:07:18.960 quote behind bars yeah because you belong there sorry any reasonable person who has followed

01:07:26.420 his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion therefore although

01:07:37.000 it pains me to do so because of the respect i have for the legislative branch of government

01:07:44.440 And my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.

01:08:01.140 Thank you.

01:08:02.380 There you go.

01:08:04.240 That was his statement.

01:08:07.220 And then everything else.

01:08:08.700 They were asking him, you know, what color's your tie?

01:08:11.800 What's the weather outside?

01:08:13.060 And he'd be like, under advisement of my attorney, I plead the fifth.

01:08:17.480 So they got nothing out of him.

01:08:20.620 That diary that was made public was pretty damning, pretty damning.

01:08:28.820 It was full of his ego and his contempt for the people of this country, his power that he had.

01:08:43.060 Dear Diary, today I made people stand six feet apart from each other.

01:08:52.280 Hilaire.

01:08:55.040 Got a call from my friend Jen.

01:08:58.860 She's so sweet.

01:09:01.160 Maybe tomorrow I'll tell people to wear two masks.

01:09:06.800 This is what he did.

01:09:08.800 and we found out it was all just horse crap it was all nonsense they didn't know when this wasn't

01:09:17.920 science and what did the news stations say trust the science believe the science anyone

01:09:25.700 that had a different opinion they were like oh you're smarter than the scientists

01:09:32.160 well who were the scientists what's their modus operandi what agenda do they have who's their

01:09:40.620 boss because that's what was going on that's what was going on the media the disgusting

01:09:48.480 propaganda wing of the left media was pumping out disinformation at record levels

01:09:58.820 and uh when confronted on it now they kind of pull back and go well that's what we were told

01:10:06.580 we just said what we were told by the experts and what did you do to the people that had

01:10:14.440 a different opinion did you listen to them did you weigh it between what the experts said

01:10:21.860 and what your bosses told you to say

01:10:24.900 and then come up with something reasonable and logical

01:10:29.480 as far as this went?

01:10:30.540 No.

01:10:31.360 You called them mental patients, morons and idiots.

01:10:39.080 Anyone who said anything about ivermectin

01:10:41.440 or any other alternative treatment

01:10:43.900 was some kind of a sick, twisted person

01:10:50.620 that just wanted to see americans die that was it that's what we lived through and fauci was

01:10:59.960 right at the top of that pyramid yelling it down to the world making up stuff six feet apart i swear

01:11:10.580 to you years later anytime i see a sticker on on wherever i am in a cvs you know where you stand

01:11:18.260 online for a prescription at the cvs and you look down and you'll see the carpet it's like a

01:11:23.860 kind of uh like looking at old hieroglyphics or a fossil a scraped away circle and you might see a

01:11:33.020 six apart and you go i remember that that was nuts and you remember when it was happening

01:11:43.640 you're standing on that line you're like what is this doing what science is this that is saying

01:11:51.960 this is safer than if i was three feet apart from the person in front of me subway platforms in new

01:12:00.060 york city had those discs those those stickers that said six feet apart have you ever been on

01:12:06.960 a new york city subway platform at a busy station during rush hour it's impossible

01:12:13.920 there's no standing six feet apart from each other but they put him down there anyway

01:12:21.460 and they told you that was that was science you're looking at science my friend and if you

01:12:29.280 listen to Joe Rogan or anyone else that has people on their shows that have a different take on this

01:12:38.340 COVID thing, you're nuts. You were the mental patient. And now we see Fauci, who got his

01:12:48.220 retroactive 2014 pardon from the imbecile dementia in chief, Joe Biden.

01:12:59.280 god knows who signed that he gets his pardon and then he's testifying and what happens

01:13:07.820 i plead the fifth i plead the fifth i plead the fifth another liar he should be uh held

01:13:15.700 accountable let's just say use your imagination back in a minute it is indeed the anthony cumia

01:13:22.520 show going to change gears for a little bit here and talk to adam swart adam swart is the ceo of

01:13:28.700 crowds on demand i swear to you i thought this was a conspiracy i thought this was one of those

01:13:34.540 conspiratorial things that people talked about but it wasn't really happening when you saw these

01:13:39.600 protests that was supposed to be grassroots uh protests and uh people said oh they're paid those

01:13:45.860 are paid people that they uh get from a company and i'm like that can't exist it does and we're

01:13:52.700 speaking with adam swart from crowds on demand adam what's up man hey good evening anthony it's

01:13:59.580 great to be with you uh i understand you were in new york last week and i'm in new york this week

01:14:04.280 so i'm just sorry to miss you in person yeah it happens you know and then i got stuck up there

01:14:10.500 for a while but that's a whole nother story whole nother story adam i want to uh get into this

01:14:16.440 Because, like I said, I thought this was something people said to discredit a protest or an organization that had gotten a crowd,

01:14:27.780 that had gotten a protest, a crowd of people up, and they said, oh, they're paid.

01:14:32.780 They get paid.

01:14:33.540 They got a service that sends people out.

01:14:36.900 This is the real thing.

01:14:38.280 Obviously, you're the CEO of Crowds on Demand.

01:14:41.080 What is this about?

01:14:42.300 How does this actually work?

01:14:43.760 This is peaceful, lawful advocacy. I like to think of myself as more of a publicist than a paid protest organizer, because what I do is organize protests that are intended to get publicity for a business, get publicity for a cause, raise awareness about somebody who's engaged in wrongdoing.

01:15:03.720 The purpose of a protest is not a plebiscite, Anthony.

01:15:08.680 It's not to say 300 people are out on one side and 50 are on the other side, so people are six to one in favor of the issue.

01:15:16.920 That's not how protesting works.

01:15:19.020 The purpose of a protest is to get attention for your cause, whether it's in the media, social media, or even just among the people who you're focused on in person, right?

01:15:30.540 So that's the goal. And crowds on demand, we only do things the right way. We do things lawfully. We do things peacefully. So when you see kind of these crazy riots or whatever and people blocking roads, I just want your listeners to know that has nothing to do with me.

01:15:45.820 Well, how would you know, Adam, how would you know if you're getting people together for somebody that wants a crowd on demand that they aren't being used on some of these, you know, I will say basically liberal protests that tend to pop off and get a little violent and vandalism happens, maybe some arson and assaults.

01:16:08.000 How do you know as the CEO that these people aren't being supplied by your company?

01:16:15.820 So I do two things. I vet my clients and I vet the people who work for us, right, and who protest for us.

01:16:21.840 So I vet my clients, and part of that is to make sure that the budget fits the goal,

01:16:27.800 but it's also to ensure that what we're doing is lawful and respectful and peaceful and that those objectives match, right?

01:16:35.860 Now, the politics is a whole different side, and we can get into that if you want.

01:16:40.580 But first of all, it's to make sure that it's a lawful, peaceful thing.

01:16:44.220 And then the second part is like, look, we don't want to put our people, even if what we're doing is a lawful, peaceful thing, in a position of danger.

01:16:51.760 So let's just say you have Antifa versus Proud Boys, and then for some reason someone wants us to do a protest in the middle of that.

01:16:58.360 I would respectfully decline that, not because we're doing anything wrong, but that's just inherently going to become a very tense situation.

01:17:04.980 It's going to be a problem.

01:17:05.600 And I don't want a part of it.

01:17:06.860 Right.

01:17:07.240 So additionally, Anthony, though, it's important to know that we also vet our people.

01:17:11.480 So we have like a 20-minute sit-down or a Zoom or a phone call with everybody who participates before every event.

01:17:18.580 So even if you've worked with us on one or two events, if you're going to go to a third event, we still have that call.

01:17:24.300 And it's to make sure, number one, you support the cause, and number two, that we reaffirm the commitment to peaceful, respectful advocacy.

01:17:33.060 I've always found, my mom always used to tell me that you're always better, you are a much better advocate for yourself when you are friendly and funny than when you are mean and rude, because that just turns people off.

01:17:45.200 I'm sure many of your listeners in New York City saw that viral video of this sort of hippie blocking the street, and there's a single African-American woman trying to get to work, and she's like, I'm trying to get to work, you know, otherwise I can't pay my bills.

01:17:58.580 And he's like, he doesn't really care. You know what I mean? And that's right. That turns out that woman off. Right. So. So I don't think that type of protesting is even effective, even if it were lawful.

01:18:09.100 Yeah, but quite frankly, I don't think a lot of people that are protesting in that way care if they're turning people off.

01:18:16.460 I think they're there for the violence and to make news and whatnot.

01:18:22.560 I got to ask you this.

01:18:23.540 When did it go to being like political demonstrations?

01:18:29.500 Because you said this is also a publicity thing for a company or a big celebrity event, I guess.

01:18:36.220 You'd want a lot of people out front of a club that's opening.

01:18:39.720 When did it take this turn to start political demonstrations,

01:18:45.760 calling you up and saying, hey, we need some people?

01:18:49.500 So I've been doing this for almost 15 years now.

01:18:51.940 We started the business in 2012, right?

01:18:55.000 So I started this business when I was still in college.

01:18:58.180 And look, we get a lot of asks for different things.

01:19:01.440 Now, one misnomer about us is that we primarily focus on national politics.

01:19:06.580 That's not 100 percent true.

01:19:08.380 A lot of what we do is dealing with kind of big business disputes, investor disputes, you know, business to business, raising awareness about bad practices or totally nonpolitical things.

01:19:19.380 I mean, we ran the Delete Facebook campaign, raising awareness about how Facebook misuses your data, you know, turns Americans against each other, you know, even fomented, you know, ethnic and racial hatred for money.

01:19:32.900 Right. So that has nothing to do with politics. We had Republicans, we had Democrats, we had people who aren't even political because everybody sort of agrees on this.

01:19:39.760 I mean, we've taken on anti-LGBT discrimination in the pharmaceutical and insurance industry.

01:19:46.080 So these are not political things that really have anything to do with Republican point of view, Democratic point of view.

01:19:52.080 And that's honestly how I like it, because, Anthony, I'm an independent.

01:19:54.940 I don't subscribe to either political party.

01:19:57.340 I don't owe either of them anything, by the way.

01:20:00.240 So I would rather do campaigns that don't fit into that box where we're doing nuanced campaigns that neither of the two big sides aren't going to take on.

01:20:11.560 Yeah. Adam, let me ask you this, too. Doesn't it seem a little at the very least insincere if somebody is at an event, whether it's political or not, that it's like almost a little phony that they're not there for the reason that people would think they're there? It's kind of show busy.

01:20:35.240 So do we have to disclose all of our intentions now?

01:20:39.200 So if you go to a party, should you put on your little lapel that I'm actually at this party to get laid?

01:20:45.220 I said I'm going to my friend's birthday party, but the real reason is I hope there's a hot girl that I'm going to thank you.

01:20:50.760 I get what you mean, Adam.

01:20:52.460 Do we have to be obvious about all of our – I get what you mean.

01:20:56.520 We're humans here.

01:20:57.640 I get what you mean. But especially in the political, you know, forum, you'd like to think these people are out there because they're so passionate about the cause that they profess to be.

01:21:09.080 And we vet people for that. Now, what I always like to say, glibness aside, is that what we do is we compensate people enough to get them out there.

01:21:19.860 And it actually, like, as, you know, people on the right have often found this compelling because a lot of times if you have a trust fund, if you're retired, you're a college professor, you have as much time as you want to go protest.

01:21:31.020 But if you work a traditional kind of job or an hourly kind of job and you have kids, you actually rely on us being able to kind of compensate you for your time or you wouldn't really have the ability to show up because the opportunity cost would be too high.

01:21:45.300 So we actually facilitate people's participation in causes that they actually believe in.

01:21:50.280 So I actually feel like it actually helps the sincerity.

01:21:54.000 I mean, just as like a fun historical fact, you know, in the United Kingdom, members of

01:21:58.500 parliament didn't even get paid for their service until 1910, I think it was.

01:22:03.820 So what happened is the people who were members of parliament were rich guys there to kind

01:22:10.400 of bolster the interests of the landed gentry, right?

01:22:12.900 So to me, I feel like what I do, and I don't want to sound public serious, but I feel like I actually help democratize protests by actually giving people who wouldn't otherwise have that chance the opportunity to kind of go out.

01:22:25.780 Like let's just say it's a pro-police rally, right?

01:22:28.900 A lot of those people wouldn't show up, right?

01:22:31.220 Just as a fun fact in L.A., there was this absolutely crazy leftist movement that was opposed to a bill that would stop sex offenders from camping near elementary schools, right?

01:22:45.380 And I don't know anybody on the left or the right or anyone who would think it's a good idea for sex offenders to camp near elementary schools, and yet there were 300 far-left protesters that stormed City Hall.

01:22:57.180 guess how many people were at city hall on the side of passing the bill no one why because it's

01:23:02.580 self-evident that that should be there but it's not anthony and for ordinary common sense causes

01:23:08.380 to prevail you need people to show up and we help the common sense people turn out now this brings

01:23:14.200 up a good point with that uh that you what you just said do you do you turn down organizations

01:23:20.840 that are looking for uh people all the time all the time i mean sometimes it's simple it's for as

01:23:27.140 simple as budgetary reasons but also with if if i'm not aligned now just to be clear i don't have

01:23:33.440 to be a hundred percent agreed on the message right right right i i don't know whether you

01:23:39.100 agree with all the advertisers on wabc but i love them all adam i love them all i use them

01:23:46.780 The anti-texting by driving one.

01:23:49.240 I love that one.

01:23:50.200 I would love to work with them, by the way, if they're listening.

01:23:53.240 I hate texting and driving.

01:23:54.920 I hate it, too.

01:23:55.640 Never do it.

01:23:57.760 So I would look at it as think of whatever WABC's standards are for advertisers.

01:24:03.640 WABC doesn't have to 100% agree, but I'd imagine Mr. – I can't even say the name.

01:24:10.140 And Kat Samadis would have to not find it completely repulsive for him to take that address.

01:24:16.880 Right.

01:24:17.220 I got you.

01:24:17.920 I got you.

01:24:18.640 No, it's business.

01:24:19.740 Business is business, Adam.

01:24:21.220 I got you.

01:24:21.780 And here's the most interesting part of what's going on in your world, Adam, is that you are looking for some type of oversight here when it comes to who is financing these groups.

01:24:36.380 Like, if somebody comes to you and needs some people for whatever it may be, that people should know where that money is coming from.

01:24:46.080 And this sounds like a good thing.

01:24:47.940 This sounds like something that we need transparency in because there's plenty of speculation that some pretty nefarious people and groups are funding some of these get-togethers.

01:24:58.380 Yeah, and there were, and I would name them right now, but I don't want to get sued, so I won't because it would be speculative.

01:25:03.920 But the thing is that, yes, and what we need is the Transparency in Political Demonstrations Act.

01:25:09.620 It's something I've introduced in Congress, and, of course, Congress loves transparency, which is why they're going to pass it tomorrow.

01:25:16.020 I'm just kidding.

01:25:16.900 Yeah, of course.

01:25:18.120 But they are, unfortunately, it's stalled.

01:25:21.940 But what we want is I want to know for any large demonstration, so over 500 people.

01:25:27.520 So it's not going to restrict your ordinary person who's organizing 10 of their friends.

01:25:31.660 but large demonstrations with 500 more people i want all the donors from top to bottom so that i

01:25:37.760 want to see the whole chain and then i want all the vendors from top to bottom i want to see the

01:25:41.960 whole chain right so i must know everybody gets a paycheck and i want to know everyone who writes

01:25:46.500 that check and what that's going to help us do is number one it's going to give us transparency

01:25:51.300 but number two i think it's going to help the american people understand that any rally that

01:25:55.600 you see that's big enough to go get on tv and be kind of widely covered in the media and therefore

01:26:01.620 or make a big national political difference, is funded by big interests on the right or on the left,

01:26:08.020 whether it's Adelson, whether it's Hoffman, whether it's Laureen Powell-Jobsen, whoever it is, Soros.

01:26:13.980 Whoever those people are, the biggest donors, these are the people who are funding this stuff.

01:26:19.800 And they're not always funding it directly, but they're often sort of in some respect providing those resources.

01:26:28.080 It's very rare that a company asks the government for oversight or restrictions or stuff like that.

01:26:35.900 Is this potentially damaging to your bottom line?

01:26:40.740 And if so, why would you do it?

01:26:43.240 Well, see, some people might think that, but I actually think that once people actually understand that every protest is bought and paid for,

01:26:51.020 then I think they'll better understand it like the Super Bowl ad, right?

01:26:55.060 Like when you go to see a Super Bowl ad, you don't think, oh, oh, that's just a bunch of genuine people of people that just came up and the ad just materialized.

01:27:03.660 Right. You know, that was Pepsi. That was Dunkin Donuts. That was, you know, GoDaddy.

01:27:08.900 Right. Ten million, 20 million to make that happen.

01:27:12.940 Right. No, it could be a good ad, in which case maybe you buy the product.

01:27:16.180 It could be a crappy ad in which I think you're jaded here, though, Adam,

01:27:20.640 because I don't think a lot of people know that a lot of these protests are bought and paid for.

01:27:25.760 If you say that, you sound very cynical, you know, very kind of black-pilled.

01:27:31.840 But I think a lot of people are still under the impression that when they see people protesting,

01:27:36.960 they sincerely are very passionate about the cause.

01:27:40.680 Oh, I think they are. I don't think those things are mutually exclusive.

01:27:43.840 I think someone could be getting compensated and be compensated.

01:27:49.720 I mean, they compensate you for doing the show.

01:27:52.340 You are an extremely passionate person in your work.

01:27:55.960 I listened to a little bit of your radio, and I assume you get paid.

01:27:59.040 I don't know what you get paid.

01:28:00.940 Not enough, Adam, not enough.

01:28:03.200 Can I get a crowd of people to get in front of WABC Radio and carry signs and say more money for Anthony?

01:28:11.840 You know, Anthony, you know what would work better for that?

01:28:14.840 Is if we had people out there demanding that you be canceled for being too offensive.

01:28:19.380 Oh, right, the old switcheroo.

01:28:22.340 Well, I've had that before.

01:28:24.620 I've had that before.

01:28:25.860 It's not fun, so I think I'll just stick.

01:28:28.840 We'll just call it even then.

01:28:31.900 Okay, yeah, that sounds good.

01:28:34.480 So how is this progressing?

01:28:36.680 Are you getting any feedback from the government as far as looking into this?

01:28:44.800 First, they're in the stage of ignoring.

01:28:46.920 What I'm hoping is that this gets enough media coverage where it becomes unignorable, and that is what this really requires, is it needs to get enough coverage where it becomes unignorable, and then they can't just sort of like say, oh, well, it's in committee, oh, we're thinking about it, or throw various procedural objections toward it.

01:29:06.440 So that's what we that's what we need, because I and by the way, I don't think I myself is jaded because maybe I'm so jaded that I I'm a very optimistic person and I I really believe in this country.

01:29:18.060 But we're a capitalist country. We always have been. And that's a beautiful thing. But those with money from the railroad barons to the, you know, lumber barons, like all the barons of industry have always had outsized influence over.

01:29:32.180 Yeah. I mean, you think you think that and by the way, so it's not new. I mean, the government had a hand in the civil rights movement. Big, big donors were involved in the Tea Party and then the gay rights. And there were there was a lot of genuine people involved in the gay rights movement. There were a lot of genuine people involved in the Tea Party.

01:29:49.380 So I think that what it's important that your listeners understand is that the fact that there's money behind a movement and there are people being paid is kind of – is actually a necessary part of getting public consciousness for the movement.

01:30:04.880 I'm sure you and your listeners can think of a lot of amazing causes that should be talked about, but because they've never gotten the funding necessary to be talked about, they've basically languished in obscurity.

01:30:17.260 And so when you think about the gay rights movement or the Tea Party or whatever, whether you agree with those or not, those have a lot of genuine people involved, MAGA, for example, but there's a lot of money behind it, too.

01:30:29.340 And I don't think those things actually negate each other.

01:30:33.340 This is a really amazing thing, I think.

01:30:37.800 You turned down $20 million to provide demonstrations for the Good Trouble Lives On protests.

01:30:46.360 This seems to be some type of civil rights protest that was going on about a year ago or so.

01:30:53.580 No, it was – this was – it was about a year ago, but it wasn't a – it was kind of a liberal kind of anti-Trump movement.

01:31:01.240 And by the way, I have no – I'm not a pro-Trumper either.

01:31:04.460 Like I'm very independent.

01:31:06.140 I just didn't think it was going to be effective.

01:31:07.740 I just want to be clear so that people don't think I'm more magnanimous than I am.

01:31:11.300 It wasn't $20 million in my bank account tax-free.

01:31:15.080 it was 20 million in revenue against which there'd be a bunch of these protests so i just want people

01:31:20.880 to understand that i didn't turn down 20 million dollars tax-free in my bank account you know i

01:31:25.960 mean that would have been a different conclusion that's a hard sell adam a lot of people hear that

01:31:29.800 and go yeah i never get the opportunity to turn down 20 million no matter what it looks like but

01:31:35.760 i get you i get you okay but what was what why did you turn it down so so i think the thing is

01:31:42.860 with that is it wasn't going to be effective it was basically the same group of people i mean you

01:31:47.860 know they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results

01:31:52.640 right um which in and of itself is an overused quote but the um the uh but the reality is that's

01:31:59.040 what it was it's like okay if you're going to oppose trump right you don't come at this with

01:32:05.020 the same group of people who were at the pussy hat riots who were at or not riots so because he got

01:32:10.660 um events right and and who were at all these blm whatever and it's like okay you're turning

01:32:16.140 out the same people well that's just gonna have the same result right um you what you need to do

01:32:20.880 i always tell my clients this in any kind of thing is you want to engage in asymmetric um

01:32:26.500 pr right so if you're gonna if you come after the right you want to come after the right from the

01:32:31.780 right if you want to come after the left you come after the left from the left because that's far

01:32:36.860 and more effective right right never take on the right from the left and my concern with this was

01:32:41.360 you're taking on the right from the left which actually helps the right it's similarly to what

01:32:45.820 i said is if somebody can't said cancel anthony cumia because he's he's too insensitive and we

01:32:52.120 need people who are less insensitive on the radio right i don't think that would you have heard my

01:32:57.180 show you know and and you are who you are right and and the reality is that wouldn't work right

01:33:05.780 So the thing is that you need to come – if you're going to take on the right, you need to take the right on from the right, and similarly, you need to take the left on from the left.

01:33:17.200 So if you call a liberal – if you come at a liberal and say, Mayor Mondani, you are a socialist. You are anti-business. You'd say, yes, yes, I am anti-business. Okay, next question.

01:33:29.140 right but if you say mayor mondani what you are doing is hurting the latino this the latino

01:33:35.360 community because it's hurting latino latinx owned businesses and you're putting them at risk

01:33:41.080 okay well that's actually a line of attack that might be damaging to him do you see what i'm

01:33:45.800 saying right right because but if you're just saying mom donnie is a socialist right well

01:33:50.220 that's not going to work that's not going to work right i hear you adam i got i i gotta take a quick

01:33:55.480 break uh stick around we'll have you uh on for another segment uh until the top of the uh the

01:34:01.200 hour uh we'll be back with more of adam swart in a moment ward from crowds on demand the uh head

01:34:09.460 muckety muck over there adam i want to ask you what have you seen in the past uh how long you

01:34:14.980 say you've been doing this 15 years almost 15 years yeah okay what have you seen in those 15

01:34:19.840 years that is the big differences in demonstrations from then uh until now the biggest is social media

01:34:29.820 i mean of course social media was around at that time yeah but the goal that clients would come in

01:34:34.480 is with that that time was i want to get you know if it's a local demonstration i want to get to

01:34:38.880 local news uh bigger demonstration you want to get on fox or cnn or whatever now there are these sort

01:34:45.220 of micro niche demonstrations that can really go viral within a certain group maybe and and not just

01:34:53.080 right and left sure there's that but even even beyond there within specific sects and go viral

01:35:00.640 there and and accomplish a lot without really having national prevalence hey that that hold on

01:35:08.780 Because that gives me another question here for you.

01:35:11.820 Do you have people that you can put out there for a fee that are influencers that go down with cameras and they can get videos to go viral on their accounts?

01:35:26.220 Yeah, we arranged that.

01:35:27.540 I mean, it's not something we did when we started, but it's something that has been so in demand from our customers that we have started doing that, correct?

01:35:35.220 I can imagine that would be pretty, I don't want to use the word aggressive because that sounds kind of violent, but I would think those people would want to get that good clip, get that maybe a confrontation because that's really what goes viral.

01:35:53.240 A peaceful protest ain't getting any eyes on it, Adam.

01:35:57.260 But if you got a little altercation sparking up, a couple of groups throwing things at each other, some tear gas, wouldn't that be something?

01:36:07.440 Well, I kind of disagree.

01:36:09.120 I think what really does well, I mean, sure, but that ultimately doesn't advance your movement.

01:36:14.800 So my thing is I'm actually writing a book on this.

01:36:17.000 If you're an anarchist liberal militant.

01:36:21.280 But I'm not really working with the anarchists.

01:36:23.240 Right. So, OK. So, yes, if you're an anarchist, maybe that's your goal.

01:36:27.000 But I'm generally working with people with with a clear, cogent objective.

01:36:31.880 So I like to keep an eye on the prize.

01:36:33.620 So generally. So this is one of the big things that actually protest organizers forget, Anthony, is keep your eyes on what the actual objective is.

01:36:42.660 Your objective isn't to get media. Media is a means to an end.

01:36:46.540 Hopefully media is a means to actually a call bushing objective.

01:36:49.960 OK, we want more police funding. Maybe we want better schools. We want more funding for our, you know, subway system. Right. Like, what is the actual goal? The media is a means is a part of a tactic to get to that goal.

01:37:05.580 I'll tell you, Adam, I don't think I've I don't think I've ever seen a demonstration for more police funding. But OK, continue. There needs to be. There needs to be. Well, it certainly does. Yeah. Especially in a wonderful place like New York.

01:37:19.960 Well, they need more police funding in New York and almost everywhere else in the country because the number of police officers per capita has declined.

01:37:30.000 And the actual reality of that is that it actually increases the acts of police brutality to have fewer police officers because they're more likely to do something wrong when they're outnumbered than they are when they actually have sufficient staffing.

01:37:45.840 So I actually think that responsible and well-funded police goes together, and it's actually something I'm very interested in taking on.

01:37:53.840 I hear you.

01:37:55.300 Adam, thanks so much, man.

01:37:57.320 Where do you hail from?

01:37:58.620 Where are you out of?

01:38:00.420 So California.

01:38:01.620 So we're – I mean, I travel nationwide, and we do a lot of work out in New York, but we work nationwide.

01:38:10.480 And even do select international engagements from time to time.

01:38:14.760 All right, you got anything you want to let the people know before we cut you loose?

01:38:19.220 Well, sure.

01:38:19.900 If you want to check us out, www.crowdsondemand.com.

01:38:22.960 And I said I'm up front with my intentions.

01:38:25.120 So the number one intention of coming on this show was to actually dispel so much of the misinformation that's gone online about my business.

01:38:32.700 So I hope I succeeded in doing that with you and your audience.

01:38:36.680 Awesome.

01:38:37.120 I can sound like a pretty square guy, like, you know, straightforward, no agenda, you know, make some money.

01:38:43.420 No one's going to fault anybody for making a dime these days.

01:38:47.060 I like it.

01:38:48.000 Adam Swart, Crowds On Demand.

01:38:50.800 Thanks so much, man.

01:38:52.480 Yeah, thank you, Anthony.

01:38:53.540 Yeah, be well, and good luck with everything, my friend.

01:38:57.820 There he goes.

01:38:59.900 Adam Swart.

01:39:00.980 I swear I thought it was like a thing people said.

01:39:04.920 Oh, yeah, that can't be real.

01:39:06.680 No, they buy crowds.

01:39:08.880 All right, back in a minute.

01:39:10.700 Where are you going?

01:39:11.560 Uh, yeah, just getting my, uh, crap together here.

01:39:17.040 Uh, you know, I wanted to talk about this, uh, last hour, but we'll do it now.

01:39:22.420 The, uh, news compilation from the unvax bashing that the news gave, uh, everybody.

01:39:30.960 Remember when we didn't want to get vaxed and the news, uh, said that the unvaccinated

01:39:38.340 were going to kill everybody that was it they will kill all of the vaccinated people

01:39:47.660 and by the way the unvaccinated will also die horrible deaths remember the winter of death

01:39:53.660 that joe biden had said we were going to go through if we didn't get vaccinated i tell you

01:40:00.580 i couldn't be happier i didn't get vaccinated and it's hard to prove a negative so you don't know

01:40:07.260 if i got vaccinated would i be worse i didn't and worked out fine i got covid very very early

01:40:16.640 in the whole pandemic i uh wound up getting it it really clicked in like april of whatever

01:40:25.060 godforsaken year that was but i had gotten it in december uh of obviously the previous year

01:40:33.120 and it was uh it was brutal it was a brutal flu but that was it i got done with it i was

01:40:42.180 i had natural immunity and i went about my life and when they uh suggested that i get vaccinated

01:40:50.480 go screw i'm not doing that i was running a company at the time compound media

01:40:56.140 right there in midtown manhattan a studio at 35th and 7th and i let everyone there know

01:41:04.140 that they could work and i would not force them to do anything they didn't want to do

01:41:10.580 and one of those things was getting the vaccine so there are a few of us out there that did not

01:41:17.240 get vaccinated and i'm pretty happy about that but the politicians and the news

01:41:25.140 holy moly they were talking about the unvaccinated like you were walking around

01:41:31.620 with a a bomb strapped to your chest just waiting to kill grandma and the kids and everybody else

01:41:40.020 this is a disgusting compilation of uh mainstream media talking about the unvaccinated listen up

01:41:51.100 It is the unvaccinated who are the problem, period, end of story.

01:41:56.100 The only people that you can blame, the only people you can blame, this isn't shaming, this is the truth, maybe they should be shamed, but the unvaccinated.

01:42:04.980 It's time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks.

01:42:09.440 Anyone you came into contact with will blame you, as will the rest of us, who have done the right thing by getting vaccinated.

01:42:17.200 Because frankly we know that we can't trust the unvaccinated.

01:42:20.280 I think it's time to get our moral house in order, Anderson.

01:42:23.880 It's the unvaccinated who are the threat.

01:42:26.620 All of us vaccinated folks are going to start wearing masks to protect the unvaccinated folks.

01:42:33.020 It's called a Christian value.

01:42:35.780 You're basically punishing the vaccinated for the sins of the unvaccinated.

01:42:41.900 People are not behaving honorably.

01:42:43.780 The unvaccinated are basically saying, well, it's open season for me.

01:42:47.520 I can do whatever I want as well.

01:42:49.180 The unvaccinated are basically beating their breasts around the country saying, we don't care, we're living free and so forth.

01:42:56.860 We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.

01:43:00.680 Unvaccinated, a group that includes children and people acting like children.

01:43:05.200 And the rest of us are starting to get pissed off.

01:43:08.420 The vaccinated feel the unvaccinated are making me upset or angry.

01:43:13.140 This is not about freedom or personal choice.

01:43:16.120 Well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed.

01:43:19.460 Dired, disturbed.

01:43:20.580 Screw your freedom.

01:43:21.920 The other day, Howard Stern weighed in with a much different approach.

01:43:25.780 Take a look.

01:43:26.640 When are we going to stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say, you know, it's mandatory to get vaccinated.

01:43:33.200 Their freedom.

01:43:34.300 You're treading on our freedom.

01:43:37.300 You're killing other people.

01:43:38.860 The anti-vaxxers, they seem to have a thing.

01:43:41.040 You can cut it off.

01:43:41.980 I think we all get the message.

01:43:43.520 It goes on and on and on.

01:43:44.900 this went on and on for years this went on the unvaccinated listen how they say it

01:43:53.000 oh the unvaccinated oh they're the ones that are killing everyone they're the ones that are

01:44:00.700 gonna clog up the hospitals and that that was the flu a bad one it killed elderly people

01:44:10.700 for the most part uh barely statistically zero uh youngsters were killed because of covid

01:44:23.180 there may be an underlying thing but uh just the the unvaccinated listen to the contempt

01:44:31.440 in their voices people they're talking about people that did not want to put a vaccine or

01:44:39.260 whatever the hell it is in their system and they treated them like lepers like you had some kind of

01:44:47.380 a plague on you and then the guy the guy that was in cahoots with the wuhan lab

01:44:55.640 and and started this whole monster uh he's fine he gets a pardon from the president

01:45:03.580 and he gets to sit in front of a congressional hearing and say the fifth i plead the fifth

01:45:11.140 and nothing can happen to him that's infuriating that's what i'm saying that is infuriating uh

01:45:22.240 robert from the great state of north carolina what's up robert hi anthony like you i got

01:45:30.960 covid early before people generally knew what it was yeah i knew because i had no sense of smell

01:45:39.460 my sense of smell went away and i knew that was a big sign and any flu or cold i've ever had

01:45:44.880 that never happened to that extent and then every symptom was exactly what they said uh

01:45:51.760 covid was and then once i had it i didn't get it again so i was like oh i must have had covid

01:45:59.720 early on yes um january 15th is when i got covid two weeks later i started on an antibiotic for

01:46:09.040 something else a week after that i was better and i never got covid again yeah natural immunity

01:46:17.260 the greatest the greatest immunity you can get is natural immunity uh it's so much better than

01:46:25.860 sticking a needle in your arm and putting some uh lab grown thing in there now i understand

01:46:32.840 there's plenty of vaccines and things and medical treatments that are awesome and work great i'm not

01:46:40.460 saying you know they they want people to think that if you were against getting the covid vaccine

01:46:46.020 that you're an anti-vaxxer and smallpox vaccines terrible and polio and no i'm not from that school

01:46:53.700 have thought i don't think anyone really is probably a few people but they want people to

01:46:58.140 think that anyone who decided to not get the vaccine was this crazy conspiracy theorist anti-vaxxer

01:47:06.100 no no not at all i had plenty of vaccines before that yeah you sound like a guy of the age that has

01:47:14.620 that wacky little indent on their shoulder yeah yeah you got the smallpox vaccine and

01:47:23.500 the early 60s they shot it in there with some ray gun or something like that yeah yeah we all got

01:47:29.560 that i'm fine with that uh the polio vaccine and uh what do you got diphtheria over there you got

01:47:37.000 some diphtheria for me what do you what do you got yeah the good old days the good old days i watched

01:47:43.040 afterwards i watched as people who had taken the vaccines and gotten boosted yeah each time they

01:47:51.680 got sicker yeah sicker and some people died you know some people were fine and they're fine right

01:48:00.100 now but i would be i would feel like i have a ticking time bomb in me i don't know look i'm

01:48:06.400 not a doctor i don't even play one on this show but i would rather not have that coursing through

01:48:13.000 my system and and digging into my rna and dna then uh having not taken it all that for me i'm like

01:48:20.660 yeah i had it and i'm done with it and it's over uh you have people that are petrified that there

01:48:27.000 might be some future problem with these and again i don't know i'm not trying to panic anybody

01:48:32.240 but uh i'm just happy i didn't uh have to take it there bob yeah i trusted a lot more in god than i

01:48:40.200 did in fauci no no doubt thank you robert areas with carolina having fun just hanging out not in

01:48:49.580 new york oh i'm sorry i really shouldn't bash new york as much as i do because i mean there's a huge

01:48:58.020 audience in new york but i think a lot of the people that listen to the show understand what

01:49:03.020 i'm saying about new york it's not unwarranted i don't just go and like oh let me just crap all

01:49:08.720 over new york tonight uh you have a communist muslim extremist mayor uh you know sid rosenberg

01:49:18.900 calls him a terrorist but uh i'll i'll hold just short and call him a muslim extremist and uh

01:49:27.300 his constituency seemed to be fine with him destroying the city and uh that seems to be

01:49:36.740 what he's doing i this is great this is one of my favorites oh do i have time for this or maybe wait

01:49:42.960 till the next break uh we'll play it after the break but uh zoram abdani he he says he can't

01:49:51.300 ignore the legacy of slavery in new york and of course he has some very expensive taxpayer funded

01:50:00.280 solution to the uh legacy of slavery in new york now look i'm no history major

01:50:08.840 but was it new york in the north uh wasn't new york part of the union during the civil war wasn't

01:50:20.360 new york never a confederate state how how does the legacy of slavery in new york uh how does

01:50:31.740 zoran say that this shouldn't be ignored well you must be as curious as i am as to what this

01:50:38.980 dolt said and uh we'll have what he said uh right after this break also your calls we do

01:50:47.260 appreciate it 800-848-9222 back in a minute and uh yeah we're here we're here we're queer we're

01:50:58.120 fabulous get used to us we're here where that used to be a uh a campaign um chant that the

01:51:06.960 gay people used to say long before they called it the lgbtq plus um yada yada yada so anyway

01:51:14.620 zorm and danny he cannot ignore the legacy of slavery in new york uh i like i said i uh

01:51:22.540 new york was a northern state new york was uh yeah a free state new york was

01:51:33.820 where the underground railroad went to get away from slavery but

01:51:39.820 leave it to zoran memdani to not um throw away a perfectly good race angle so let's hear why

01:51:50.660 Zoram Abdani cannot ignore the legacy of slavery in New York.

01:51:55.100 When you were running for mayor, you submitted a written statement to a reparations convening that read in part,

01:52:01.100 New York City participated actively in the slave trade and furthered its legacy through racist institutions, policies, and laws.

01:52:09.380 The city should reconcile and repair this legacy of slavery, stolen wealth, and discrimination.

01:52:16.140 You added that you were proud to support the new Reparations Commission examining Wall Street's complicity in the slave trade.

01:52:23.480 One of these commissions is set to release its final report next summer.

01:52:28.280 If a commission studying reparations in this city recommended cash reparations for people impacted in New York City, would you support that recommendation?

01:52:41.700 First, I want to say that I stand by what I submitted.

01:52:44.180 It's the truth.

01:52:45.100 It's not a personal assessment. And we often think about slavery and the complicity in slavery as being exclusively to certain geographic areas of the country.

01:52:56.880 Here in New York City, we were very complicit. And so I look forward to whatever those findings are.

01:53:01.860 I can't give you an answer in advance of them, but I can tell you that this is critically important because this is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was.

01:53:11.200 how about the reparations of uh i don't know the soldiers that came out of new york and fought in

01:53:21.060 the civil war and died and died fighting for the union the north what about that can that be

01:53:31.080 considered when he's talking about the horrible atrocities that new york was complicit in during

01:53:37.260 slavery what is he talking about wall street we got to go into that another uh another attempt

01:53:47.420 to garner uh support in the black community by zoran memdani that's what it is that's all it is

01:53:57.620 and talking reparations is insane it's the dumbest topic any politician can can bring up

01:54:06.860 there's a few morons that you see on social media that talk about reparations all the time and

01:54:14.520 you know this is why it's owed and that no it ain't gonna happen it's never gonna happen

01:54:22.240 there's no amount of money that would satisfy anybody and the money you know there's a a story

01:54:30.860 an anecdote about a room full of 100 people and you give each of them a dollar and after

01:54:41.720 a certain amount of time one person will have a hundred dollars that's pretty much how things

01:54:49.040 work reparations would not repair anything there is a cultural problem in this country

01:54:58.160 There's a crime problem.

01:55:00.420 There's just a problem that seems to be we're not even on the same planet when it comes to certain things.

01:55:08.880 And no amount of forking over money is going to help that.

01:55:13.560 And you want to conjure up some resentment.

01:55:17.580 You really want to start conjuring up some resentment in people in this country?

01:55:24.380 Tell them that they have to fork over their hard-earned money

01:55:29.080 to a bunch of people that were never slaves.

01:55:34.660 Their parents weren't slaves.

01:55:37.240 Their grandparents weren't slaves.

01:55:39.180 In many cases, their great-grandparents weren't slaves.

01:55:42.800 You tell those people that they still have to fork over money,

01:55:45.920 and they were never slave owners.

01:55:48.000 And again, that whole line of succession of your ancestors,

01:55:51.780 they weren't slave owners either.

01:55:53.700 But you want to you want to dole out a heap and help in a resentment.

01:55:58.940 You just do that.

01:56:00.940 You just do that, my friend.

01:56:04.760 Nothing, nothing they they have is helping this country like and I'm talking about Zora

01:56:13.500 and uh the the militant left uh all of their ideas further divide the country

01:56:24.220 the government has more control and the people are more divided and powerless to do anything about

01:56:31.780 it i've said it before they the ideal situation for a communist oh you mean a democrat socialist

01:56:39.960 communist the ideal situation is a powerless population that is beholden to the government

01:56:50.460 that's in place and the members of that government are living large high on the hog as they say

01:56:56.000 and every so often that government sprinkles out the tetra fish food on the top of the fish tank

01:57:04.300 and all the people come up and go bloop, bloop, bloop

01:57:08.060 and eat their fish food and they're satisfied and that's it.

01:57:12.680 And they circle the tank and they don't think about

01:57:15.020 what a better, bigger tank would be

01:57:16.800 or can I work harder in this corner of the tank

01:57:19.760 and make something for myself?

01:57:21.160 No, you're just totally dependent on that government.

01:57:29.800 Independent thought, get it out of your head.

01:57:32.360 ambition making yourself better and and bettering your community at the same time

01:57:40.260 raising responsible uh hard-working families oh get out of here that's not the zoran memdani

01:57:49.240 commie way just be lazy garbage do the absolute minimum to get your hand out your little fish food

01:58:00.340 and that's your life rinse repeat squirt out some kids and then they get to take over your place

01:58:09.520 when you uh are floating side on your side at the top of the tank

01:58:14.600 ready for that trip to the toilet bowl we all know we've all done it had to put the old angel

01:58:21.620 fish down the toilet tragic anyway zoran uh not only that another great idea zoran has this one

01:58:33.060 let me get the story up here for my my reading pleasure uh you know he's he wants to shut down

01:58:40.640 rikers he thinks prison uh is is terrible it's it's something that should be eliminated oh he

01:58:49.180 doesn't have anything to replace it with mind you there's nothing he has that instead of prison

01:58:55.880 we're gonna do this um so he comes up with these fun things that the prisoners can do instead of

01:59:05.800 you know serving time because they committed horrible crimes uh memdani administration to

01:59:12.340 turn felons into gourmet food producers for farm to table dining at new york jails there you go

01:59:20.820 uh launching a new uh this damn link just keeps scrolling uh program to turn felons into gourmet

01:59:29.080 food producers the new york city correction department has awarded nearly a quarter million

01:59:35.540 bucks not much and boy he's got plenty of money laying around so uh why not to a colorado-based

01:59:43.080 firm farm box foods to teach inmates or persons in custody yeah i'm not kidding it's not inmates

01:59:53.460 anymore they're persons in custody at rikers and other municipal jails how to vertical farm

02:00:00.640 in an urban setting.

02:00:04.740 Vertical farm in an urban setting

02:00:07.400 or your jail cell,

02:00:09.320 whatever that may be.

02:00:11.840 So they want hydroponic gardens

02:00:14.940 and teach the prisoners

02:00:17.180 how to grow their own food

02:00:19.900 in the jail.

02:00:21.680 Do they really think

02:00:22.980 everyone in prison is like the movies?

02:00:25.900 Do they think it's a movie

02:00:27.540 and they're all there

02:00:29.140 because of some dumb luck or they fell through the cracks

02:00:33.780 or they had to feed their family.

02:00:35.920 They honestly think everyone in prison is a stellar citizen

02:00:41.300 that just tripped on the way to a wonderful career and life.

02:00:48.480 I hate to think what some of those gangs are going to do

02:00:54.460 with the corn cobs they grow

02:00:55.880 because i've seen some movies and if someone's growing uh salads uh well you know where that's

02:01:06.220 going all right people back in a flash gonna take a few calls and uh we'll be back in moments with

02:01:14.420 more of the anthony cumia show got something else here on uh zoran memdani your commie mayor of new

02:01:21.660 york city uh of course he's he's trying to put in place this peer the terror tax peer the terror

02:01:29.420 i shouldn't have to speak french in order to uh do a story it's the tax where if you own property

02:01:38.800 in new york city and no one lives there it's like an investment property uh you will have to pay

02:01:46.260 a very very high tax on that above and beyond your basic property tax city tax all the taxes

02:01:55.400 new york state tax that you have to pay um and then when you sell it you have to pay capital

02:02:01.400 gains taxes it's brutal it's just brutal but a lot of people especially uh very wealthy people

02:02:09.540 around the world buy property in new york city as an investment and uh memdani doesn't like that

02:02:17.980 because you're not opening up that place to people to the wondrous citizens that voted for memdani

02:02:25.520 and renting it out to them for a low frozen rent uh that will not pay for the maintenance

02:02:33.800 and utilities that you need to but uh that's a whole nother story uh and zoran said hey don't

02:02:42.100 don't worry five million bucks if the property is worth five million bucks or more those are the

02:02:49.020 ones we're going to tax unless the townhouse are going to permit one million what what zoran

02:02:57.180 yeah it's one million in certain cases of townhouses and other things that i guess are

02:03:06.260 uh specifically residential if you want a a commercial building or it's five million dollars

02:03:14.240 but there are certain residential buildings under the criteria where only a million dollars

02:03:21.840 and you now have to pay this

02:03:24.280 proprietary tax.

02:03:27.880 So he lied.

02:03:30.100 He lied about that.

02:03:31.520 A lot of people are mad.

02:03:32.520 A lot of people are mad about the tax,

02:03:35.180 but some people are mad about the fact

02:03:39.360 that Zoram and Danny doxed them.

02:03:42.440 There was a list that was put out

02:03:45.180 that named all of the owners

02:03:47.600 of this real estate

02:03:50.020 That was over $1 million or $5 million, depending on the building.

02:03:55.800 And a lot of people were not happy with that.

02:03:58.980 You put names out there of people that are unbelievably wealthy.

02:04:03.340 They tend to get robbed.

02:04:05.840 They tend to get people that will attach themselves to them under the guise of investments or businesses.

02:04:13.480 You want to kind of keep a low profile.

02:04:16.060 And he just doxed all of these people.

02:04:20.020 And this guy, Scott Galloway, he's an author.

02:04:22.960 He's a liberal dummy.

02:04:26.140 He was appointed to something by Gavin Newsom in California,

02:04:31.520 so you know what this guy's all about.

02:04:35.080 And he got a little miffed at being doxed by Zoran,

02:04:40.560 and he said he agreed with this tax.

02:04:44.380 And now he finds himself on the list.

02:04:47.640 And let's hear from him.

02:04:49.780 Scott Galloway. And I've been doxxed. You've been doxxed? What? Tell me. So I don't know if

02:04:57.580 you've heard, but Mayor Momdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with

02:05:03.800 addresses and names that might be eligible for his pied-à-terre tax. I came out in favor of this

02:05:10.860 tax. This is the definition. He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue and he's

02:05:16.600 turn it into a wanted poster. And the question I would have is, other than trying to identify

02:05:22.520 and imply these people have done something wrong, and then 18 months after a healthcare CEO was

02:05:28.600 executed in the street, and then published the list, what is the upside here? Why is he doing

02:05:34.760 this? Because he's a commie, and he doesn't care about anyone that has money unless it's him.

02:05:46.600 and his cronies who have money the million or so people on that list are the enemy he wants your

02:05:56.500 property don't you understand do you know they have a a law it's not even just a policy

02:06:04.980 that they're trying to put forth that would make it so difficult for you to sell your property in

02:06:13.600 new york city let's say you're tired of this i'm not going to pay the part of their birdie your

02:06:18.640 tax i'm leaving i'm out i'm going to sell my new york properties and leave take some cash and go

02:06:26.520 down to the bahamas well you can't just do that in new york they want you to wait months after

02:06:36.760 it's listed before you could even sell it and then the city has to have first right of purchase

02:06:44.860 so the city would be able to try to match what uh the people are offering you for your property

02:06:53.340 and and you have to give them a reasonable amount of time so you're talking it could be

02:07:00.700 years before you would be able to sell this property ma'am danny's doing everything in his

02:07:07.420 power to seize all private property in new york it sounds crazy it sounds oh really seize all

02:07:15.280 private property hopefully he can't do it maybe he's not trying for all of it now but this is the

02:07:23.400 build up to it this is the first step to it he wants to own all of these properties the city

02:07:31.920 to own all these properties and then fill them with low income housing so you get people that

02:07:40.080 aren't productive that he could feed the fish food to every so often and that will vote staunchly

02:07:48.120 democrat why because they put a roof over people's heads how do you vote out the person

02:07:55.620 that is housing you and feeding you and clothing you and and daycare for your kids and it's all

02:08:03.860 a plot i i hope you see it being self-sufficient is like looking into the sun to them they go oh

02:08:15.080 No, a self-sufficient person, someone who could live his life, pay his bills, feed himself

02:08:22.440 and his family, house them.

02:08:24.880 Oh, they don't want that.

02:08:28.640 And that's that is what is going on in Memdani's New York.

02:08:32.940 And like I said, this Democrat socialism is taken off.

02:08:38.620 People love it.

02:08:40.280 Can't get enough of it.

02:08:41.780 they want to elect anyone that says they're a social democrat that's who they want and uh

02:08:49.980 you know who the godfather of the democrat socialist movement is people right don't you

02:08:56.860 bernie right we all know that don't we do i got that clip let me see which clip is that

02:09:05.800 but but but don't play it yet i just want to find it i'm like that i'm i'm i'm uh it's like a puzzle

02:09:13.040 there it is bernie sanders he's he's on he's on meet the press and the host is giving him accolades

02:09:21.720 for popularizing democrat socialism and uh it it's you'd watch it and think they're talking

02:09:32.100 about it like a good thing he's making a face in this video i know you can't see it but where he's

02:09:39.180 kind of clinching his lips together and nodding his head like yep that's me all right yep that's

02:09:46.200 who did it that was me i'm the democrat socialist godfather and uh yeah it's not good play this

02:09:54.520 clip uh ac9 bernie sanders you really were one of the top people who brought democratic socialism

02:10:01.080 into the mainstream senator. And a new poll finds that one-third of Democratic-leaning voters now

02:10:09.040 identify as Democratic Socialists. And we've seen, quite frankly, Democratic Socialists win

02:10:14.580 in primaries throughout this election cycle so far. But are you confident that Democratic

02:10:19.680 Socialists can win in general elections in purple states? Well, I am, but I'm mostly

02:10:27.260 confident that the American people

02:10:29.920 know that our country today

02:10:31.880 is moving in a very

02:10:33.880 very bad direction.

02:10:35.600 There you go. There you go.

02:10:38.340 See, he won't

02:10:39.660 directly say

02:10:41.640 Democrat Socialism and thank you

02:10:43.840 thank you very much for that

02:10:45.660 that accolades

02:10:48.220 for me being

02:10:50.120 the start of the popularity

02:10:52.420 of Democrat Socialism.

02:10:54.580 He won't say that.

02:10:55.940 he's he's afraid of it he knows people you know what one third of democrats say they now identify

02:11:05.660 as democrat socialists that's two thirds that don't bernie can do some math trust me so he

02:11:15.260 knows that so what did he do goes right to trashing what's going on right now with america

02:11:20.680 we're in a very bad place oh really and by the way a third of democrats now identify

02:11:28.700 as democrat socialists that doesn't surprise me at all if it did surprise me it would be that it's

02:11:35.700 low i i would think a lot more would because they're impressionable malleable easily swayed

02:11:46.260 uh uh i don't even want to use the word uh uh you know tards of the re category there they're

02:11:56.340 morons they have no stick-to-itiveness to anything they could be brought over to any organization

02:12:07.240 any type of uh politics it's easy because they really don't believe in anything

02:12:16.800 try to get a republican a conservative republican to switch to some like socialism but maybe

02:12:27.560 something else that is the rights version of socialism no you you stand on your principles

02:12:36.500 and these people are so easily swayed hey what about this democratic socialism

02:12:43.080 uh do you like i don't know i don't know much about it hey man you know it's all about for the

02:12:48.960 people and zorm and danny and oh yeah all right cool i'm a democrat socialist now i guarantee it

02:12:56.440 takes that long for them to just throw away whatever their belief system was politically

02:13:02.700 and embrace this communism, plain old-fashioned communism.

02:13:10.680 Oh, God, these people.

02:13:13.800 Let's see.

02:13:14.600 Oh, you know, I'm going to go.

02:13:16.060 Mary's been waiting a while.

02:13:18.720 Mary, hi.

02:13:20.600 Hi, Anthony.

02:13:22.020 I'm a first-time caller.

02:13:23.640 I love your show, and your call screener is the sweetie.

02:13:28.580 Oh, thank you, Mary.

02:13:30.320 I agree with everything you've ever said except one thing.

02:13:35.380 I have to stick up for Martha Reed.

02:13:38.560 Now, Martha Reed, we played her version of the national anthem a little earlier in the show, Mary.

02:13:45.280 And I don't know.

02:13:47.000 She sounded a little off.

02:13:49.820 That's all I'm going to say.

02:13:51.580 What's your take on it, Mary?

02:13:53.260 I know she sounded pretty awful.

02:13:55.760 I'm not saying she didn't.

02:13:57.520 But she's 85.

02:13:59.000 But what I heard was that she sang that anthem with respect and heart, and she really meant the words that she sang.

02:14:11.680 She didn't try to jazz it up or cover it up or anything, and I give her so much credit for that.

02:14:17.760 You know, Mary, sometimes it takes a caller like you to show me how jaded I have become and how cynical I have become.

02:14:30.340 I wasn't even considering that she was singing that with heart and soul and a love of this country.

02:14:38.160 I was just listening to.

02:14:39.720 So, you know, Mary, sometimes I take a call

02:14:46.040 and I get a little bit of an epiphany there, a little revelation.

02:14:50.680 Oh, Anthony, that's the best thing that's happened to me all day.

02:14:54.740 Probably in quite a few years, actually.

02:14:57.060 But thank you, Mary, and I'm glad you enjoy the show

02:14:59.820 and you have yourself a great week.

02:15:02.280 You too.

02:15:03.380 Thank you, dear.

02:15:04.220 There goes dear Mary.

02:15:05.680 the ona show they'd come in we'd put them in bikinis throw them in 55 gallon drums with

02:15:14.860 fish guts and crickets yep tick tock tick tock time keeps ticking away

02:15:24.180 no i'm i believe me mary i love that you call that was her first call brand new fan of the show

02:15:34.620 mary mary mary quite contrary i will not do the rest of that dice rhyme thank you mary

02:15:45.060 holy mother of pearl uh okay uh look we can't uh we've gone too long actually without uh rosie

02:15:56.960 o'donnell we have not gotten our dose of rosie o'donnell she uh what do you think she's talking

02:16:04.120 about uh you all right i'll pick you right there yes donald trump and what a piece of garbage he

02:16:11.320 is that's what rosie talks about constantly uh we have two great rosie o'donnell clips here

02:16:19.000 uh ac1 uh she's melting down about trump let's give it a listen no one is pressing the alarm

02:16:26.120 but nobody is breaking the glass in case of emergency it is past time america and if my

02:16:33.140 speaking out encourages anyone to speak out to not be afraid of him fear is a tool of fascism

02:16:40.180 and that's what he's using lies and fear and intimidation and bullying and i can't wait for

02:16:48.920 that female reporter to shut up shut him up the next time he says something how about a right to

02:16:54.940 his face you you pedophile whoa who do you think you are the president of the united states that's

02:17:02.660 what i would say to him rosie you know the way she she talks about the trump presidency or the

02:17:13.480 presidencies uh we're halfway through trump's second term and uh you know there are things

02:17:23.220 that could absolutely be better if you're a democrat or a republican you look and go there

02:17:30.760 are things that could be better i'm not happy with fuel prices i'm not happy with prices in

02:17:36.200 general i think uh something needs to be done but i don't think that's strictly a president thing

02:17:40.620 i never said i never blamed um 100 percent uh of the blame on biden for the pretty much recession

02:17:50.260 we were in uh and the inflation i think he had a lot to do with it but uh yeah there it's not

02:17:57.820 perfect but we're still chugging along aren't we rosie talks about trump like he needs to be break

02:18:06.980 the glass we need to get him out of office and break that emergency glass because why because

02:18:14.540 why what's happening tomorrow the lies he's a pedophile the lies well he'll get through his

02:18:24.560 term he'll leave office just like he did the first time when they were saying he's not going to leave

02:18:31.520 it was an insurrection remember he's not leaving he's going to stay there as per the constitution

02:18:38.480 of the united states of america he left on noon inauguration day and that was that but they they've

02:18:50.680 been so brainwashed and they're so easily like i said easily manipulated by the media and their

02:18:56.820 dopey friends and politicians on the left and hollywood that they think trump is a dictator

02:19:04.980 and a tyrant and he's not leaving it's all over crazy here's a second clip let's listen to this

02:19:13.340 one i have ptsd from all the abuse that he gave me for 20 years i can make a joke about people

02:19:18.920 say well you gave it right back yeah i did because if i a person of privilege and power in this

02:19:25.320 country can't give it right back to him what chances do the epstein survivors have oh god

02:19:31.920 what chance does any immigrant who's been put in a concentration camp we have to use our voice

02:19:39.020 our free speech while we still have remnants of it in the united states now they're going and

02:19:44.760 arresting people who protest peacefully assemble as no right killing them killing them good and

02:19:52.380 but there's a difference between going toe-to-toe with him giving it right back before he was

02:19:58.300 president right you did for many years now you know with him as president i've experienced this

02:20:03.040 i know what it's like for donald trump to tweet against you yes i mean i you know i've had

02:20:08.580 me sent to my house yes i have had people um berate me at you join the club because of you

02:20:16.520 liberals you know i'm living my life in a different way we all have to deal with that so

02:20:21.020 i don't know that people understand what happens it's like the gates of hell open up and every

02:20:27.080 hell demon gates of hell people attack you when this guy says i'm going after rosie o'donnell

02:20:33.420 or or bruce springsteen or you know he doesn't say he's going after beryl streep or robert

02:20:39.520 denaro or all of our artistic dead people like robert muller and and rob reiner and john mccain

02:20:46.020 well he is a man with no moral fiber oh my god uh i gotta take a break but we'll we'll come back

02:20:56.780 your calls and i gotta comment on that nonsense in a minute the anthony comia show

02:21:02.200 just played a couple of clips from

02:21:30.100 send you things

02:21:31.900 i don't i don't think that's a good thing i don't think trump would think it's a good thing

02:21:36.760 uh but look we we live in a time where difference a difference of opinion

02:21:45.940 can get you uh nuts that come out to get you that's what it is they're crazy people that

02:22:11.060 and if you think it's only rosie o'donnell and one of the gals from the view that are getting that

02:22:18.160 kind of uh feedback you're out of your mind people on the right people that are republicans

02:22:27.300 or conservatives get that hate and and that the threats a lot more than people on the left do

02:24:31.280 it here why is all the commentators afraid to say that because their bosses are the communist

02:24:53.180 You're a racist.

02:24:54.300 That's a terrible thing to say.

02:24:55.660 It was literally the China virus.

02:24:58.600 And now they made people so afraid to say it because you'd be dubbed a racist.

02:25:03.920 This is what they do, Lenny.

02:25:05.340 because the Chinese communists are now

02:25:09.040 and the Saudi Arabians are running America now

02:25:11.440 you know you get a million third worlders in here every year

02:25:14.080 and you know the other lie they're saying

02:25:15.840 college kids are doing the left wing voting

02:25:18.020 yeah those congressional districts that the lefties won in New York

02:25:21.640 there's no white people in those districts

02:25:23.800 all Hispanic and black and third worlders in there

02:25:26.900 they voted from

02:25:27.840 why are you lying and saying it's white kids

02:25:29.720 and why do you beat your chest when you say

02:25:31.960 oh all the commies in America are white

02:25:34.660 Why do you beat your chest like a gorilla for when it's not true?

02:25:38.900 We let a hundred million illegals into this country turning America.

02:25:43.280 You got two commies running for mayor in California there.

02:25:47.640 What do you think?

02:25:48.740 California, you know what California is?

02:25:50.360 It's a suburb of Mexico.

02:25:51.940 That's what it is.

02:25:52.800 Because you're open borders.

02:25:54.320 And you people didn't give a damn when California was being invaded because it wasn't in your backyard.

02:25:59.740 Well, I'm going to tell you something, folks.

02:26:02.060 California's part of America.

02:26:03.320 And what goes on there, you're going to have to pay for it through your taxes and people running out of California.

02:26:09.080 That's what they want to do in New York City now with Mommy Tommy.

02:26:12.080 He's talking about real estate.

02:26:13.960 He's the biggest slumlord in the world.

02:26:17.340 He's in charge of all the housing projects.

02:26:19.760 He can't even deliver heat in the wintertime.

02:26:22.280 Of course, people are stealing the pipes and the electrical pliers out of here, too.

02:26:27.080 Those are the third world is for you.

02:26:29.000 All right?

02:26:29.440 So, listen, you should be asking, everybody should be asking in this audience, people who you know, why didn't you vote for Papu Cannon?
