The Anthony Cumia Show - Billionaire Rockers Rage for the Machine

00:00:00.000 Greg Kelly here. One of my neighbors was falling asleep right at the dinner table. He had sleep

00:00:04.760 apnea and then he found Inhala.com, a doctor consult on telehealth, a custom fit mouthpiece

00:00:10.940 fitted at one of many tri-state locations and now he's breathing naturally all night. Covered by

00:00:16.380 medical insurance and medicare and Inhala handles all the paperwork. Better sleep starts here with

00:00:21.740 Inhala. Visit Inhala.com slash Greg or call 844-INHALA1-INHALA.com slash Greg.

00:00:30.000 Holiday cheer kicks off here.

00:00:31.700 Marine Toys for Tots has launched its 79th holiday campaign,

00:00:34.940 and this year, Marines, volunteers, businesses, and neighbors

00:00:37.940 are coming together in nearly 900 communities across America.

00:00:41.340 The mission is simple.

00:00:42.160 Collect new, unwrapped toys, books, and games

00:00:44.540 for children whose families are facing hardship.

00:00:46.720 Because a gift is more than a toy.

00:00:48.340 It's hope. It's joy.

00:00:49.540 It's a lasting memory and a reminder to a child

00:00:51.780 that they are valued, remembered, and cared for.

00:00:54.180 Give today to Marine Toys for Tots.

00:01:31.800 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:37.860 It is the Anthony Cumia Show, which must mean it's Sunday yet again.

00:01:45.580 Seems like it happens every week.

00:01:48.600 We have another one of these Sundays.

00:01:50.520 Glad you can join us for this one.

00:01:53.900 um hope your football bets are going well and a lot of people do that on a sunday they wager on

00:02:02.220 the games i found uh a prediction market app that i could use because in south carolina

00:02:10.220 gambling on sports on your phone is a i was hoping lindsey graham had something to do with that so

00:02:19.120 that when he dropped dead, perhaps his sister, whoever the hell is in his seat,

00:02:25.460 might sign off, might turn things around down here 0.71

00:02:29.000 and get a little online gambling on your phone.

00:02:32.460 Because, you know, it's 2026.

00:02:35.260 The old genies out of the bottle, Pandora, out of the box,

00:02:40.100 the horse has left the barn, all of those things,

00:02:43.880 as far as gambling on your phone across this great land of ours.

00:02:49.760 So it's kind of silly that South Carolina is like, no, no, no.

00:02:55.420 Nope, not going to do that.

00:02:56.940 I assume it has to do with money because that's kind of the same thing

00:03:00.740 that's going on in New York State with these prediction market apps.

00:03:04.960 They're like, oh, what was it?

00:03:06.620 Last week I was talking about it.

00:03:07.880 Governor Hochul saying, oh, those prediction market apps,

00:03:12.260 they're harming

00:03:14.920 the most vulnerable of New Yorkers

00:03:17.180 but they allow sports

00:03:19.000 betting on other apps

00:03:20.840 and what not

00:03:21.800 so what's

00:03:25.220 the difference

00:03:25.820 well the difference is that these

00:03:28.800 prediction market apps they haven't figured out how

00:03:30.920 to squeeze them yet

00:03:31.920 haven't figured out how to pay them a little visit

00:03:34.720 you know

00:03:35.340 it would be a shame if something happened to your prediction market

00:03:38.880 so that's what I'm thinking

00:03:42.100 and they just got to figure out a way to do it.

00:03:43.660 Or South Carolina is so holier than thou that gambling, my goodness, 1.00

00:03:51.320 what will come next, prostitution.

00:03:54.800 So I don't know.

00:03:57.100 But I'm able to make a bet or two, which is the only reason I would even pay

00:04:02.820 attention to football or anything of the sort, any other sport.

00:04:09.020 So, yeah, I hope your bets go well.

00:04:11.580 I know anyone these days that watches football is betting on the game.

00:04:17.180 If you're not, you're an anomaly.

00:04:19.700 You are the weirdo because everyone's doing it. 0.94

00:04:24.700 Everyone's doing it, man. 0.78

00:04:26.720 Well, if everyone was jumping off a bridge, remember that old gag your parents used to tell you that?

00:04:32.720 Come on, my friends are doing it.

00:04:34.740 If your friends were jumping off a bridge, yeah, I probably would.

00:04:38.380 We jumped off the garage roof.

00:04:40.240 Why not a bridge?

00:04:42.300 Anywho, what a crazy week, as is every week.

00:04:46.480 I don't think I come here on a Sunday and do this very program

00:04:49.960 and look back and go, wow, nothing has happened.

00:04:53.600 Nothing interesting, nothing outrageous, nothing crazy, disgusting.

00:04:59.800 So every week something happens.

00:05:02.040 And I guess the big stories of this week was Krista Pike,

00:05:07.100 the on-again, off-again death penalty, execution.

00:05:11.580 That was weird.

00:05:13.320 That's something I don't think we've seen.

00:05:16.240 I see it.

00:05:16.820 I remember Twilight Zone that was like this.

00:05:19.160 They couldn't kill the guy, and they let him go.

00:05:23.540 Yeah, Krista Pike, 18 years old, when she murdered a classmate

00:05:27.960 because she was a little jealous.

00:05:29.720 She thought that classmate was going after her man.

00:05:33.120 So, of course, you've got to cave their head in with a big cement block.

00:05:37.760 How else do you deal with those issues at 18?

00:05:40.080 And it was really, really terrible.

00:05:44.340 I won't go into the gory details, but a box cutter was used.

00:05:50.700 Krista took home trophies from her kill.

00:05:56.620 And because that's really not a common thing, even in the cases of murder. 0.85

00:06:01.940 at 18 years old to get the death penalty you really had to uh go deep on that one

00:06:10.240 and she did off the old deep end and then uh they go through all the stuff i mean she's 50 now

00:06:18.100 so all the taxpayer money that's spent to house death row inmates and the appeals processes and

00:06:25.900 And all of the other stuff that takes years and years and years were finally exhausted.

00:06:32.240 One last-ditch effort to get her off the hook. 1.00

00:06:36.860 The Supreme Court came back and said, nope, let her roll. 1.00

00:06:42.280 Roll on one. 1.00

00:06:44.280 Roll on two.

00:06:46.520 That was at the Green Mile.

00:06:48.620 You are now. 1.00

00:06:50.800 Electricity will be run through your body until you are dead. 0.99

00:06:54.500 Percy, what are you doing?

00:06:55.500 Percy didn't wet the sponge.

00:06:57.960 So they tried to kill her. 0.96

00:07:01.360 Lethal injection. 0.97

00:07:02.500 They gave her the IVs of the sleeping.

00:07:08.100 They put you to sleep first.

00:07:09.600 They kind of relax you.

00:07:10.740 And then they put in the stuff that stops your heart and your breathing and whatnot.

00:07:14.660 And it didn't work.

00:07:16.040 So they gave her another round of this IV.

00:07:19.660 It didn't work again.

00:07:21.220 Her arm was turning purple.

00:07:22.780 She was snoring.

00:07:23.560 It was just one of those things, like, not quite as dramatic as the guy, his head's being set on fire because Percy didn't wet the sponge.

00:07:34.720 But from the witnesses, it wasn't a pretty sight.

00:07:40.880 And then they load her in an ambulance and take her to the hospital to, you know, save her life.

00:07:48.260 Such a strange story.

00:07:49.940 There have been a couple of instances over the course of history where the death penalty is concerned,

00:07:55.620 especially with lethal injection, because I don't think the electric chair or firing squad,

00:08:00.800 I don't think have as many slip-ups.

00:08:03.180 I think once you do it, they're pretty dead.

00:08:06.640 But they gave her these shots.

00:08:09.660 She didn't die, so they had to take her to the hospital and try to save her life.

00:08:15.940 But there were a couple of instances where the mechanics of the IV weren't working.

00:08:22.440 So they had to reschedule the execution.

00:08:26.760 They had to stop it that evening.

00:08:29.560 I didn't know that they have a death warrant that they have in place for 24 hours.

00:08:37.420 They can't just say, well, we'll execute you, I don't know, a week from Thursday, maybe Wednesday, whenever we feel like it.

00:08:43.760 It's pretty much set in stone, a 24-hour period on one day that you could execute somebody.

00:08:51.400 And by midnight, that warrant runs out.

00:08:54.920 And with the legal wranglings that were going on to try to save her from execution, a lot of the day was eaten up.

00:09:04.020 And then by 7 p.m., all of the attempts to get her off the hook there were exhausted.

00:09:10.960 So they started this process pretty late in the day.

00:09:16.520 But when it goes normally, you don't need all that much time.

00:09:20.280 But when you're trying over and over to kill this person and it ain't working

00:09:25.020 and the clock is tick, tick, ticking away, you can't just keep trying.

00:09:30.220 You have to look at the clock and go, we're going to run out of time by midnight.

00:09:33.380 and it wasn't working

00:09:36.560 so they decided to

00:09:37.740 cancel it and take her to the 0.89

00:09:40.680 hospital she is currently on a 1.00

00:09:42.360 respirator in some 0.99

00:09:44.600 type of a coma

00:09:45.560 they don't know what kind of damage 0.70

00:09:48.620 was done to her

00:09:49.980 physically

00:09:51.500 her mind who knows she might 0.88

00:09:54.540 be brain dead 0.78

00:09:55.400 I guess they're getting more information but 0.96

00:09:58.420 some anti

00:10:00.780 death penalty people are

00:10:02.560 satisfied in one way

00:10:05.220 that she wasn't put to death

00:10:07.340 but very angry in another way

00:10:09.120 that she suffered and she continues

00:10:11.440 to suffer perhaps in her

00:10:13.260 hospital bed but

00:10:14.580 if you read the story of her

00:10:17.300 crime you have

00:10:19.220 no sympathy for this woman 1.00

00:10:21.160 I don't care if it was 18 0.81

00:10:23.240 or she did it last

00:10:25.300 week

00:10:25.760 just no sympathy whatsoever

00:10:29.240 this is a

00:10:31.040 a real evil evil person so that was a huge story then we have uh the fly dubai thing what in the 0.95

00:10:44.300 hell was that all about uh apparently an omani co-pilot tried to stab or did stab his uh indian

00:10:56.060 from India, type Indian, pilot. 0.87

00:11:00.540 So the co-pilot tried to kill the pilot with an escape hatchet.

00:11:04.980 It wasn't even a knife. 0.73

00:11:06.420 This thing is insane looking.

00:11:09.040 It's one piece metal.

00:11:11.000 It's meant, you know, if the pilot has to chop his way out of the cockpit

00:11:16.860 after a crash, break the windshield, maybe cut up some of the equipment 0.99

00:11:21.160 and get your ass out of the cockpit. 0.99

00:11:23.960 and this guy just landed blows on the pilot's head with this tool 0.99

00:11:29.980 and the pilot was almost, he was knocked unconscious for a little while

00:11:36.760 but he got up and unlocked the door that the co-pilot had locked

00:11:40.940 and they have a switch in the cockpit that prevents any of the flight crew

00:11:46.320 outside the cockpit from getting in even if they use the code.

00:11:50.420 You could have a bypass in that cockpit, which I think these days is a little dangerous.

00:11:57.060 I got to be honest with you.

00:11:58.780 I think, you know, we rag on the TSA and say it's useless. 0.99

00:12:03.440 It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:12:04.440 They're patting down old ladies. 1.00

00:12:06.200 And I agree with all that. 0.98

00:12:07.940 But truth be told, I don't think a lot of people are getting deadly weapons on the plane.

00:12:13.940 The passengers I'm talking about.

00:12:15.760 and i think that a bigger threat than the passengers right now is a rogue pilot or or a

00:12:24.880 crew member that can get into that cockpit lock the door and do some damage it's been done before

00:12:31.600 with very tragic results so i don't know i i think the locking of the door and having

00:12:38.660 the pilot able to lock out everybody i think that's more dangerous right now than the uh odds

00:12:46.580 or chances that a passenger is going to have smuggled something on board the other thing is

00:12:52.580 the passengers are all revved up to just throttle somebody that tries anything so if you could get

00:13:01.220 some type of rudimentary weapon on board the plane you got to get past the passengers that 1.00

00:13:07.260 They're going to kick your ass. 1.00

00:13:09.420 Thank God, rightly so. 1.00

00:13:11.820 So I don't know what the dilly is with that. 1.00

00:13:15.440 I got to take a quick break, but we will continue this. 1.00

00:15:01.760 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:15:03.360 discussing a lot of things that have gone on over the course of the week

00:15:07.360 since we last joined you here.

00:15:10.340 And Fly Dubai, that whole whatever the hell that was all about

00:15:16.100 that went on, and it seemed to be a terrorist event. 0.57

00:15:23.560 This Omani co-pilot had a history of extremism, Islamic extremism.

00:15:33.360 He had been let go from another airline because of his mental state, his Islamic extremism. 0.84

00:15:45.540 He wouldn't even shake hands with women. 1.00

00:15:47.580 He was like that, really a staunch Muslim. 1.00

00:15:50.720 And he wanted to bring that plane down. 1.00

00:15:53.900 He wanted to get in there, lock that door, put the controls into a dive.

00:16:00.120 a couple of the passengers that made it into the cockpit to drag him out of there noted that he was

00:16:07.720 smashing the equipment with that escape axe trying to just make make it impossible for anybody to

00:16:14.580 recover from the dive that the plane was in and they got him out of there they straightened the

00:16:21.300 plane out landed it there was a deadhead crew on board not grateful dead hands fans they call it

00:16:29.380 deadhead it's when uh pilots are flying to another location to get into a different plane you know

00:16:35.940 they gotta fly a plane um that's somewhere they're not you know they gotta get a get a plane to get

00:16:44.340 to their uh their job so uh they were on board they got in there uh landed in saudi the plane

00:16:51.320 was a mess the rudder was ripped off and uh because it had over it went into an overspeed

00:16:57.540 situation where uh the plane is going faster than it's structurally constructed to go and uh

00:17:06.320 this could have been just unbelievably bad this could have been very bad you just would have heard

00:17:13.340 oh my god a plane was uh crashed first you just hear a crash then you'd start getting

00:17:19.420 well now we're thinking it was terrorism um people have their theories too other people

00:17:25.520 have their theories you know and not nothing can happen without a good conspiracy being tied to it

00:17:32.760 am i right yes of course i don't know what it was the illuminati brought it down did it jesse

00:17:41.800 but uh yeah there's people saying a false flag alex jones false flag operation like the gulf

00:17:49.920 of tonkin obviously and uh i don't you know who am i who am i to say definitely not or that it

00:18:00.320 definitely was oh it happened like this and this is what everyone's saying it was so it definitely

00:18:06.100 happened there have been instances in history where countries like the united states that we

00:18:13.440 trust or trusted with all our hearts growing up and you found out later that some shenanigans 0.91

00:18:21.060 were going on some chicanery was being pulled on you by the government in order to trick you 0.93

00:18:27.820 and make you think something believe something support something and um look i don't know 0.52

00:18:35.520 you know you want to go with occam's razor use occam's razor when you shave if you want to go

00:18:42.720 with occam's razor uh the most i don't know the the scenario that makes the most sense that just

00:18:50.140 is the simplest explanation for something then you'd go yeah this omani co-pilot uh was trying

00:18:57.500 to kill a bunch of people because of his insane religious beliefs and uh it it happened like they 0.93

00:19:04.480 said but then there's other people that said well you bring that plane down you kill a bunch of 0.98

00:19:10.400 israelis because the plane was full of israelis they were on their way to tel aviv i believe

00:19:14.420 tel aviv i believe and uh you go well obviously uh you would want that to happen so you could

00:19:24.140 justify some more carnage on whoever i don't know palestinians iranians oman you know wherever

00:19:36.060 wherever that whole area just a cluster f isn't it kids so uh i don't know i tend to believe 0.54

00:19:44.780 what is logical what i see what makes sense because uh one of the arguments is oh a plumber

00:19:52.400 a plumber pulled a jet airliner out of a dive and he uh he said he watches those air

00:20:02.820 air disaster documentaries and shows on the next air disasters which by the way i can't wait to see

00:20:09.440 till they met uh when they make this one into an air disaster show but uh yeah i think a lot of

00:20:16.600 people if you're interested in aviation and stuff you know the basic move to pull a plane out of a

00:20:24.400 dive i think most guys know that most guys get on a plane right you you scan your ticket you walk

00:20:34.920 down the jetway you say hello to the stewardess the flying waitress at the door and you uh you

00:20:43.440 give that look you look left before you look for your seat to the right and you look into the uh

00:20:49.580 flight deck there check your pilots make sure they look like they know what they're doing

00:20:53.860 if you know what I mean.

00:20:56.200 And you look at the equipment

00:20:57.500 and you think to yourself,

00:21:00.100 yeah, something goes down.

00:21:03.080 I could do that.

00:21:05.000 I could take the stick,

00:21:07.060 the yoke, the wheel

00:21:08.740 and land this thing.

00:21:12.120 That's right.

00:21:13.620 Over Macho Grande?

00:21:15.160 Afraid I'll never be over Macho Grande.

00:21:18.520 But, you know, guys think that.

00:21:20.080 It's very egotistical.

00:21:22.040 it's very uh i don't know but we think that because we know that if the plane is going

00:21:29.560 nose down you pull back on the stick i mean we learned that in the bugs bunny

00:21:36.700 where the gremlin was on the plane remember that one

00:21:40.220 remember that one bugs bunny pulled back on the stick and the bomber uh came out of a dive we

00:21:52.520 learned that very young as uh men as boys and men so uh i i can't imagine a plumber wouldn't

00:22:00.080 know enough to just pull back on the stick now what comes afterwards they went and got the people

00:22:06.020 that know what's going on the deadhead pilot crew that was uh that was on board uh so yeah

00:22:14.960 i mean the pilot was banged up the co-pilot was pretty banged up they had tied him up tied his

00:22:23.340 hands up with zip strips and uh they used some uh headphone cords and things to to keep him uh

00:22:31.580 under control he was saying kill me kill me kill me because i guess he had failed at his mission 0.85

00:22:38.720 and thought uh allah might be a little po'd at him and he wanted to uh to uh be killed and then 0.98

00:22:47.000 some of the flight crew the flight attendants and whatnot were saying to untie him let him go

00:22:54.300 i cannot understand why they would do that that's a little fishy maybe you know at that point are

00:23:03.820 you really thinking about things like lawsuits hey he might sue us if we let the passengers tie

00:23:10.400 up uh one of the flight crew it could be a lawsuit i don't know if anybody after something

00:23:17.520 like that happening would even think that uh but i can't think of any reason why you would want that

00:23:23.440 guy untied they they restrained him they gave him oxygen uh because he was pretty banged up i think

00:23:31.800 trying to get him out of that cockpit um he wasn't being cooperative and i don't think the passengers

00:23:38.980 that were dragging him out were feeling a lot of sympathy for the guy it looked like they tuned him

00:23:45.140 up pretty good pretty pretty pretty good so uh just a strange story um thank god it ended up

00:23:55.220 like it did because you know we've seen instances where it doesn't go well and an entire plane full

00:24:03.920 of people perish because of uh somebody in the cockpit that is depressed going through a divorce

00:24:12.420 mentally ill there have been instances where uh somebody uh that was riding along on a cargo

00:24:21.000 flight just started smashing the pilot and co-pilot's heads in with a hammer and uh the

00:24:28.680 pilot decided to flip the plane over upside down to get this guy off of uh him and the co-pilot

00:24:37.200 And I've seen that on the Air Disaster Show, and it is crazy.

00:24:42.560 So I don't know.

00:24:43.820 Maybe a little more screening of these pilots.

00:24:46.220 Maybe a way to get into the cockpit that the pilot can't lock you out.

00:24:51.800 All right.

00:24:52.460 Plenty more to come.

00:24:54.100 Where are you going?

00:24:55.180 Back in a minute.

00:24:58.400 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:25:02.940 it is the anthony cumia show and uh the phones are a lit a light a lighted bright uh on uh let's

00:25:17.400 go to of course the great joaquin from pennsylvania what's up my friend good evening anthony

00:25:24.520 you know i think completely possible that that plumber could have pulled the plane up

00:25:30.800 I know I could have done it, too.

00:25:32.740 I actually flew a Cessna once.

00:25:35.040 Yeah, you know, years ago, Joaquin, years ago, I went on a, it's called a discovery flight.

00:25:42.940 And you go to the airport, and an instructor takes you up in a Cessna 152.

00:25:49.700 And you get to take the controls right there.

00:25:53.040 First time you're ever in a plane.

00:25:54.240 They take you up.

00:25:55.400 You take the controls.

00:25:56.240 He teaches you the basics, you know, the yoke movements, all of the things,

00:26:02.100 thrust, drag, lift, roll, yaw, all of the things that you need to know,

00:26:12.000 the very basics, and you get that feel for the plane.

00:26:16.480 And I think a lot of guys, like you just said, know how to do that.

00:26:22.360 Yeah, as a matter of fact, don't forget the rudders, the pedals on the floor,

00:26:26.040 at least in the old of flying.

00:26:27.380 Yeah, yeah, the pedals on the floors.

00:26:29.280 Yes, for the rudder and the nose wheel.

00:26:32.140 Yeah, people know how to do that.

00:26:33.920 I think people, and look, flying is, especially in these airliners,

00:26:39.840 it's a complicated thing.

00:26:42.220 But the basics of flight have always remained the same.

00:26:46.820 You push forward, your nose goes down.

00:26:49.160 You pull back, it goes up.

00:26:51.020 More thrust, you go faster.

00:26:52.760 Less thrust, you go slower.

00:26:53.940 Or you'll also go up and down with the throttle.

00:26:56.420 You know, that's another thing.

00:26:58.000 The faster you go, the more lift you go up.

00:27:00.080 You turn it to the left, you'll bank left.

00:27:02.460 Turn it to the right, you bank right.

00:27:03.880 These are things that the right flyer back in 1902 worked the same way.

00:27:11.400 It's not this magic that you have to know how to perform to do it.

00:27:16.160 So if you know to pull back on the yoke in an airliner, that nose will come up.

00:27:22.420 It doesn't matter if you're a plumber, a terrorist, or the pilot that's supposed to be there.

00:27:28.720 Right.

00:27:29.760 And, you know, I do want to say one thing, though, about the co-pilot. 0.98

00:27:34.740 Unfortunately, it's not extreme Islam. 0.88

00:27:37.720 It's actually fundamental Islam because, unfortunately, this is what the Koran actually teaches. 0.97

00:27:43.960 Yeah. 1.00

00:27:44.320 The extreme Muslims are the ones who aren't following that. 0.99

00:27:48.720 Really? 1.00

00:27:49.240 Because that seemed pretty extreme to me to want to crash a plane full of people.

00:27:55.040 But it's jihad, you know.

00:27:57.640 Again, they're going to get rewarded, you know.

00:28:00.880 And it's in the current. 0.70

00:28:02.200 Jihad, Joe. 0.63

00:28:04.780 Yeah, and I mean, I read it cover to cover.

00:28:09.640 Also, too, I had four resources that I looked at, you know.

00:28:14.820 memory middle eastern uh media research institute and uh religion of peace dot com

00:28:23.260 and i forgot what the other two are you know and a lot of the contributors are actually former

00:28:29.160 muslims and they also they don't give out their identity because they're afraid of retaliation

00:28:35.320 yeah i hear you man yeah it's a crazy story again there's so many people that won't believe

00:28:42.220 anything there's some people that will believe anything so uh it's crazy maybe maybe uh in in

00:28:49.100 50 60 years we'll we'll hear the truth joaquin thank you man uh boink boink oh i can't turn

00:28:55.000 oh you got to hit the continue on the on the phone bank there so my phones don't disappear

00:29:00.980 there we go as joaquin sits patiently thank you joaquin to be hung up on there he goes

00:29:08.980 yeah you know it's um it's crazy but it's not magic you know a plane will do what you want it

00:29:17.160 to do and if you know enough to pull back on the yoke the nose will go up it will getting places

00:29:24.160 you know all the the really complicated stuff uh that a pilot has to know most of it is

00:29:31.520 It's communication and navigation, communication and navigation, flying it, hand flying it.

00:29:40.700 If the weather isn't bad, if you have visual references, it's not magic.

00:29:49.480 It's not an impossible thing for someone that isn't a pilot to do because I've been reading a lot of comments from people.

00:29:56.380 They go, oh, a plumber?

00:29:57.260 How is a plumber flying a plane?

00:29:59.280 He's recovering from a dive, not flying the plane.

00:30:05.120 Anyhow, what's the other thing that's going on? 0.99

00:30:07.180 This is kind of breaking news right now is this Russian plague. 0.97

00:30:14.140 What is this about? 1.00

00:30:16.840 What in God's name is this about?

00:30:19.920 Because I just don't want to get reminded of COVID.

00:30:26.800 COVID happened right before an election, and I don't know.

00:30:33.820 This sounds, they make it sound pretty serious, but I don't know.

00:30:39.320 Who knows anything anymore? 0.98

00:30:41.180 But this is out of Russia here. 0.95

00:30:46.040 Russia's plague outbreak is getting worse.

00:30:49.420 Now with five hospitals in Irkwist quarantine, the university canceling classes and accusations from health care workers that government attempting media cover up.

00:31:05.120 Media cover up in my country, the plague we know.

00:31:10.540 Thank you, Yakov.

00:31:11.340 nearly 200 contacts of a 28-year-old anti-plague laboratory worker

00:31:17.240 who died last week.

00:31:20.060 Some anti-plague worker.

00:31:21.920 What did you die of?

00:31:22.620 Oh, the plague.

00:31:23.820 Aren't you an anti-plague worker?

00:31:27.140 How do you get a date being an anti-plague laboratory worker?

00:31:32.760 One of those romantic evenings you're out

00:31:35.060 and she tries to feed you a French fry.

00:31:38.560 She picks it up and puts it toward your face. 0.86

00:31:40.640 You're like, eww, get that away from me.

00:31:43.820 Plague. 1.00

00:31:45.100 28-year-old woman, yeah. 0.86

00:31:47.640 She died last week under medical observation.

00:31:53.740 Irkutsk University are canceling classes, citing a case of pneumonic plague.

00:32:01.080 You have the pneumonic plague.

00:32:03.240 That doesn't sound good.

00:32:04.040 While an aluminum plant introduced mandatory masks, a local government warning advised residents not to travel to Shilkov.

00:32:19.460 Don't go to Shilkov, you'll get the plague.

00:32:23.620 Published and later deleted, healthcare workers claim doctors are discussing plague internally

00:32:29.940 while avoiding the diagnosis in official documents.

00:32:35.300 Russian health authorities continue to deny any plague outbreak.

00:32:39.060 Nothing happened.

00:32:40.700 It is common cold.

00:32:42.440 What do you talk about?

00:32:44.300 Attributing the woman's death to pneumonia of unknown origin.

00:32:50.220 Pneumonia of unknown origin.

00:32:52.320 Pneumonic plague is far worse than its bubonic cousin.

00:32:59.340 Here's my cousin, Bubonic, and is transmitted directly between humans.

00:33:04.900 So, breathing, it's airborne, as they say, an airborne plague, perhaps in Russia.

00:33:13.440 Who knows, though?

00:33:15.580 Bubonic plague primarily infects the lymph nodes, causing the characteristic swollen buboes from Bubonic plague.

00:33:23.440 Bubonic plague was a big hit back in the Dark Ages, I guess.

00:33:29.340 Was that the 1200s?

00:33:31.740 I think the 1200s, it was a big one.

00:33:34.800 Coming in at number one, it's the bubonic plague.

00:33:39.960 And then pneumonic plague infects the lungs, progresses extremely rapidly,

00:33:44.420 and can spread person to person through respiratory droplets.

00:33:48.700 Sounds like monkeypox. 0.94

00:33:50.720 Oh, sorry, mpox. 0.99

00:33:52.740 They don't want you saying monkeypox anymore because I have no idea why.

00:33:57.660 Wow, that sounds bad.

00:34:00.780 Although the more lethal a disease is, even if it's airborne,

00:34:08.360 the less apt it is to have a widespread issue.

00:34:16.260 Because people die before they can spread it to other people.

00:34:20.280 That's why Ebola is never really a widespread problem. 0.81

00:34:25.300 It's usually very localized in some crap hole in sub-Saharan Africa. 0.94

00:34:31.800 But the people get it, and they wind up dying so quickly 1.00

00:34:35.560 that they don't get very far away from the outbreak.

00:34:40.400 And I would think pneumonic plague is kind of like that.

00:34:46.960 If it killed a woman in a day, and it's airborne,

00:34:52.480 You could just breathe on someone and give it to them.

00:34:55.600 That kind of sounds like the same situation as Ebola.

00:35:02.400 Ebola.

00:35:04.540 I don't know.

00:35:05.800 That's the other story.

00:35:07.080 We'll keep an eye on it.

00:35:08.740 We'll keep you updated at our pneumonic plague desk.

00:35:13.720 Anthony Cumia at the pneumonic plague desk.

00:35:18.000 All right.

00:35:18.720 Those are just the things that transpired over the course of the week.

00:35:22.900 Let's get to some other fun stuff like what we got here.

00:35:30.260 Oh, the Power to the People concert.

00:35:33.840 Yeah.

00:35:35.260 I really just cannot stand liberals and liberal entertainers.

00:35:45.760 I think that's an oxymoron. 0.98

00:35:48.720 are the worst of them all.

00:35:51.540 The pompous attitude, the holier-than-thou, the I'm better than you,

00:35:58.460 I know better than you, when I talk about my opinions on life

00:36:05.560 and politics and money, I'm right, and you are wrong.

00:36:11.300 This is how they go through life.

00:36:14.800 They try to appeal to their audience by coming off as the common man.

00:36:22.160 And, of course, Bruce Springsteen was involved in this Power to the People rally concert, whatever.

00:36:31.120 And, you know, he likes to be Mr. Blue Collar.

00:36:35.340 He's just like every man.

00:36:37.400 Songs about New Jersey.

00:36:39.740 Yeah, I wrote this one about my girlfriend, Wendy.

00:36:42.880 We were driving down the Jersey Turnpike to Asbury Park.

00:36:47.220 Oh, what a phony.

00:36:52.480 He's a billionaire.

00:36:56.780 The guy that you could argue the number one name on this bill,

00:37:03.740 you got Dave Grohl, Dave Matthews, Tom Morello.

00:37:07.840 So Springsteen's, like, got to be the number one guy on the ticket here.

00:37:15.760 And they're all bitching about billionaires and oligarchs.

00:37:20.620 I know Bruce Springsteen is a billionaire, but he is not an oligarch.

00:37:27.820 They're bitching about oligarchs and billionaires.

00:37:30.520 Bruce Springsteen is a billionaire with a B, a billionaire.

00:37:35.200 and uh they're up there singing and playing their music they played this land is your land

00:37:45.140 i think uh what woody guthrie meant in that song was americans this land is your land this land

00:37:54.720 is my land from california to the new york island manhattan or long which one but uh yeah like 0.98

00:38:04.300 america this land was made for you and me not some somali uh savage from that crap hole to rip 0.98

00:38:14.320 everyone off but that's what they do they get up there they do their little uh they play their 0.98

00:38:20.440 little music tom morello of course from rage against the machine i rage against the machine

00:38:26.980 I've never seen people that are more for the machine, more for the establishment and the continuing BS and nonsense that comes from the Democrat Party and liberals.

00:38:43.280 Yeah.

00:38:45.400 F you, I won't do what you tell me.

00:38:48.140 Really?

00:38:48.920 You're doing exactly what they tell you, aren't you, Tom Morello?

00:38:53.800 and uh you know of course they get all the um they get all the old the old hippie

00:39:02.560 uh musicians too a lot a lot of the hippies were up there steven stills who else uh joan baez

00:39:14.800 Oh, with that voice of hers.

00:39:18.260 I gave my love a cherry.

00:39:23.460 So we did a little research here.

00:39:27.080 I want to look into, because it's the oligarchs and the millionaires and billionaires.

00:39:32.660 They don't like rich people.

00:39:34.560 They don't like rich business owners that, you know, employ Americans, that innovate,

00:39:41.720 that give us miraculous things over the course of history

00:39:46.980 through their investments and research and development.

00:39:50.840 And it gets to a point where these things go to market

00:39:55.420 and they're bought and used by people.

00:39:58.120 And it changes the trajectory of humanity, like the iPhone.

00:40:06.080 Or go back earlier, the Wright brothers with the airplane.

00:40:09.580 All these things, nuclear power.

00:40:11.720 but they certainly don't like the rich people. 1.00

00:40:17.720 Yuck, dirty, filthy rich people. 0.98

00:40:20.460 Like I said, Bruce Springsteen, $1.2 billion. 0.99

00:40:24.960 That's how much money Bruce Springsteen has

00:40:27.640 playing that god-awful,

00:40:29.880 I'm a blue-collar guy.

00:40:32.120 That's all I am.

00:40:33.440 I got my guitar on my back,

00:40:35.980 and I'm just wandering the country playing my music.

00:40:39.500 cha ching 1.2 billion dollars how about dave matthews bam bam bam bam another terrible

00:40:49.960 awful boring musician how's 350 million grab you that's a lot of cash uh dave grohl foo fighters

00:41:02.360 There's Nirvana, of course, coming in at number three with $330 million. 1.00

00:41:09.580 This letter says, Dear Casey, these guys are hypocritical pieces of garbage. 0.99

00:41:16.440 Mike McCready, $100 million. 1.00

00:41:18.520 Matt Cameron, $80 million.

00:41:21.600 Jack Black.

00:41:23.340 Oh, does Jack Black love getting out there?

00:41:25.740 He was singing Ozzy Man at the Power to the People concert.

00:41:32.360 And he's worth $50 million.

00:41:35.480 $50 million!

00:41:37.080 And they're trying to tell you how to think and lead your life,

00:41:42.660 who you should want to hang out with, who you shouldn't hang out with,

00:41:48.180 if your borders should be opened or closed while they live behind walled community.

00:41:54.260 Not even community.

00:41:55.200 It's their own thing.

00:41:56.220 It's not like an apartment complex with a wall and a gate.

00:41:59.360 Their own private houses have walls and gates and guards and cameras and dogs.

00:42:07.660 If you got $50 million, you have all that stuff, tough guy.

00:42:17.200 Cypress Hill, $30 million plus. 0.98

00:42:21.240 Yeah, all these people, even Joan Baez, stupid Joan Baez from the 60s has $5 million. 0.96

00:42:26.060 dollars uh they're all millionaires everyone you see on stage at the power to the people rally 0.99

00:42:36.160 is a millionaire the hypocrisy knows no bounds no bounds people and they're singing power to the 0.63

00:42:46.420 People, so embarrassing. 0.97

00:42:49.960 I hate the, they're trying to make it look like a grassroots, you know,

00:42:56.780 by, for the people, by the people.

00:43:00.180 And it's just these celebrity millionaires strutting around on stage.

00:43:09.160 a limousine or a helicopter will take them home

00:43:14.600 to palatial houses

00:43:17.760 and they'll go in and eat some of the finest food

00:43:22.980 drink some of the finest wine or other beverages

00:43:27.300 sleep on the finest linens in their bedroom 0.82

00:43:31.440 and not have to deal with that disgusting general public. 1.00

00:43:40.160 If anyone thinks differently, you are delusional, brainwashed, or stupid. 1.00

00:43:48.200 I'm going to go with all of the above. 1.00

00:43:50.620 All right.

00:43:51.100 Don't go anywhere.

00:43:52.020 We'll be back.

00:43:53.020 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:43:58.820 It's the Anthony Cumia Show, and I'm looking at the phones there,

00:44:02.920 and I may have upset somebody.

00:44:07.080 You know me.

00:44:07.760 I don't like confrontation.

00:44:09.160 I don't like upsetting people, but Alice from Ohio, I'm sorry I upset you.

00:44:18.460 What's the issue with Alice?

00:44:20.680 No, Anthony, I'm not upset.

00:44:22.800 I listen to you every week.

00:44:25.180 Thank you.

00:44:25.700 I'm a former flight attendant.

00:44:27.320 I flew for Pan Am for 27 years until we were brought out in 91.

00:44:33.160 A lot of people do not know the background in the industry.

00:44:36.360 you spend hours in simulators and you're training for ditching every six months

00:44:44.480 so when uh alice can i ask you a question sure you're in the simulator and it's it's moving you

00:44:52.120 know back and forth and forwards and backwards do you have to balance the drink is is that what uh

00:44:57.240 you're talking about i'm talking about the training for ditching the training for ditching

00:45:03.500 Oh, see, I thought it was just so you don't spill somebody's martini.

00:45:08.340 And we weren't, no.

00:45:10.520 And the FAA requires so many flight attendants for the number of passengers.

00:45:15.520 The training for ditching.

00:45:18.400 Everyone.

00:45:19.620 Everyone gets a pillow.

00:45:21.400 Put your head down, seat back, trace up, seat backs up.

00:45:24.700 They used to give everyone a pillow, right?

00:45:27.840 Anthony, this is what goes on.

00:45:30.120 You take off your shoes, remove false teeth, remove eyeglasses.

00:45:33.500 put your head in the pillow, cover your head with your arms. 1.00

00:45:38.120 And kiss your ass goodbye, Alice, right? 1.00

00:45:41.700 Well, you know, don't take it lightly. 1.00

00:45:43.800 And when you're listening to in-flight announcements, listen,

00:45:47.940 because the flight attendants are there for your safety.

00:45:51.300 And it's nice that you get your martini or your meal, but they're there for your safety.

00:45:57.820 Well, martini and a meal is more like a warm beer and a basket with those Biscoff cookies in it.

00:46:04.840 Not quite like the old days.

00:46:06.900 Not quite like the chef rolling the roast down the aisle and carving off some thick pieces of roast beef for you.

00:46:13.280 Right, Alice?

00:46:14.000 That's what it was like in the good old days.

00:46:17.140 You know what, Anthony?

00:49:14.040 but uh yeah look it was part of it part of the sales pitch of the airline industry back in 0.90

00:49:25.840 the day was how attractive the flight attendants were all the print ads in the newspapers the uh

00:49:34.780 film ads on television they'd show an unbelievably attractive flight attendant in a very um i don't

00:49:45.560 know provocative little uniform short skirt especially in the 70s and uh that was part of

00:49:52.820 like oh damn i'm flying pan am but uh yeah seems like those days are gone hopefully they make a

00:49:59.500 comeback all right people don't you go anywhere back in a moment it's the anthony cumia show 0.93

00:50:04.540 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:50:08.540 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:50:11.280 And talking about a bunch of things this evening.

00:50:14.860 A lot's been going on and crazy stuff.

00:50:19.420 I saw a photo in the paper, actually online,

00:50:25.320 but would have been.

00:50:26.760 The old days it would have been in the paper.

00:50:28.220 I made a grave error in supporting this guy, in trusting this guy.

00:50:37.600 I'm talking about Curtis Sliwa.

00:50:41.220 The picture of Curtis holding hands with Zoran Mamdani

00:50:47.020 as they both got their booster shots was, you know,

00:50:53.980 I felt like the fool that I was when I supported this guy right to the bitter end during the mayoral race.

00:51:06.960 He was, you know, he was our guy, our Republican candidate for the mayor of New York City, Curtis Lewa. 0.95

00:51:14.620 And I was from the school of thought, hey, that's who we picked.

00:51:19.620 That's the candidate that we have to support.

00:51:22.660 A lot of people wanted Curtis to drop out so Cuomo could get in there.

00:51:29.000 And there was so much going on.

00:51:31.780 I don't think any people dropping out or getting this candidate's votes to go over to this guy instead,

00:51:41.580 I don't think any of it would have helped.

00:51:43.020 I think Mamdani was going to win regardless.

00:51:46.040 but uh you know if i knew and i if i would have listened to people people uh up up in new york

00:51:56.420 uh sid sid rosenberg of course uh you know curtis is just i don't know what his agenda is

00:52:06.560 i don't know where his loyalties lie but for him to sit there holding hands

00:52:13.620 with Zoran Mamdani as they get their little shot in their arm,

00:52:19.820 it was embarrassing.

00:52:21.600 Embarrassing for him and embarrassing for me.

00:52:24.220 I felt embarrassed that I had supported that guy.

00:52:28.240 You know me.

00:52:29.560 I rarely, if ever, apologize for things because I'm usually right.

00:52:34.700 But I will apologize to anybody that I influenced to support Curtis Lewa back then, holding hands.

00:52:46.980 Did they skip out of there?

00:52:49.640 Did they skip holding hands when they left the clinic?

00:52:56.200 Embarrassing.

00:52:57.040 all right well there's uh you know i like to keep it all light and nice and fun but there's tragedy

00:53:04.780 going on tragedy uh in the big cities in this country of course uh you can't go through a week

00:53:12.420 without the bodies piling up and uh you know when it's gang members and drug dealers you don't feel

00:53:22.240 as much sympathy i know being a child of god you should treat every human life as uh precious

00:53:30.560 and uh the loss of of that life should affect you like anyone else family members or drug dealing

00:53:40.680 thug you should feel the same okay i can't even say this with a straight face uh a seven-year-old

00:53:46.780 child on the streets of chicago stabbed by a random nut job uh it's these are the instances

00:54:01.960 where at least myself i will become very vocal on social media and say what is going on how does

00:54:11.580 this happened and there's no no change in course by the politicians especially the likes of uh

00:54:22.320 brandon johnson the mayor over there pritzker the governor uh these things happen and they almost

00:54:31.500 make it seem like hey it's part and parcel of running a big city or running a state these

00:54:38.200 things happen what seven-year-olds get stabbed by some insane drug addict on the streets of

00:54:48.220 chicago and it happens in new york and it happens in every big city we see it all the time and no

00:54:55.040 one really wants to address the problem uh they pawn it off as well mental illness because the

00:55:03.340 The woman that did this is undergoing psychiatric evaluation. 1.00

00:55:09.220 Why?

00:55:10.720 What does it matter in the long run? 1.00

00:55:13.700 Do you think you're going to fix this woman? 0.97

00:55:16.540 She's going to suddenly become an invaluable member of society,

00:55:21.840 a productive citizen?

00:55:25.540 One minute she's wandering around,

00:55:28.200 stabbing a seven-year-old to death,

00:55:30.140 and the next, who knows? 1.00

00:55:31.880 she's opened her own beauty shop 1.00

00:55:34.580 and now she's doing great 1.00

00:55:36.500 paying taxes 1.00

00:55:37.380 it does not happen

00:55:40.040 these are

00:55:42.120 dangerous people

00:55:44.540 and there's too many people

00:55:46.940 in positions of power

00:55:48.220 that think they can fix them

00:55:50.620 or they want to cover up

00:55:52.400 for the fact that this is a problem

00:55:54.200 and they're supposed to take care of it

00:55:57.180 but I don't know

00:55:58.940 they don't want to

00:56:00.080 They know that it's impossible to take care of, so they just kind of blow it off.

00:56:05.260 People forget it's terrible.

00:56:07.720 There have been so many instances like this, and you can't remember the names

00:56:12.000 and faces that you saw online, little children, which is just terrible. 0.98

00:56:19.120 Look, I'm a piece of garbage, and even I can't take seeing a child having their 1.00

00:56:27.120 lives taken by uh just the scum of the earth and that's what's going on outrage it says outrage 1.00

00:56:35.880 where who who's outraged i don't see it i don't see the news reporting uh the outrage 0.98

00:56:46.820 we have to go to social media to see stuff like this um a grown woman walked right up to a little

00:56:54.820 girl she'd never met and stabbed her in the back for no reason at all on a city sidewalk at noon

00:56:59.780 broad daylight this is this is from a science fiction movie there are monsters walking around

00:57:08.920 remember that scene in aliens with ripley and newt the little girl my mother said monsters aren't

00:57:16.860 real but they are aren't they and ripley's like oh oh hell yeah they're real you're right kid

00:57:24.500 there are monsters um seven years old saturday noon just walking with her big sister and this

00:57:35.680 woman comes up pulls out a knife and just stabs what why do we entertain any form of

00:57:45.480 due process at that point i know it's the constitution i know everyone's entitled to

00:57:53.680 a trial, a judgment, a jury of their peers. 0.98

00:58:00.880 But when you see a woman with a knife, it's her,

00:58:07.300 and she murders a seven-year-old on the street,

00:58:12.220 we ought to make an exception.

00:58:15.080 I think justice is best doled out lickety-split right at that moment.

00:58:23.680 Because what's going to happen?

00:58:26.680 What's really going to happen here?

00:58:28.360 We know what's going to happen. 0.94

00:58:29.560 She lawyers up. 1.00

00:58:30.520 She gets a public defender.

00:58:34.080 The public defender goes, well, this is easy.

00:58:38.300 I get some state sponsor.

00:58:40.000 By the way, everything the public defender does is financed by you.

00:58:46.260 You're paying to defend a woman that stabbed a child to death.

00:58:52.040 so what do we need we need some psychiatrists yeah that'll do it we'll get a shrink in here

00:58:58.260 they'll speak to the woman and then the shrink will get in front of the judge and go oh your 1.00

00:59:03.360 honor this woman she didn't have a clue what she was doing the drugs the abuse she suffered at 1.00

00:59:10.520 seven you know the abuse started at seven years old with her too she was an innocent child and 0.91

00:59:17.640 blah blah blah they'll run through all that crap and before you know it this woman's back on out on 0.91

00:59:27.100 the streets back out the murderer of a child oh anthony what what precedent do you have for that 0.99

00:59:36.280 there's plenty there is plenty

00:59:40.100 and uh that's what it is because when they when they deem somebody not fit to stand trial

00:59:48.940 or they uh dub them not guilty by reason of insanity uh they're put in an institution

00:59:57.020 and unlike a prison which you know just store these bad people behind bars

01:00:04.860 Let them just rot there, whatever it is.

01:00:06.640 When they go to a mental institution, there is this goal that they have 0.82

01:00:12.820 on the part of the legal team that put them there,

01:00:15.860 the doctors that work at these psychiatric centers for the criminally insane,

01:00:22.220 and their job is to fix them.

01:00:25.560 So to justify their jobs, they have to say, well, we fixed her.

01:00:32.060 She's fine now.

01:00:33.700 Because imagine you don't fix anyone.

01:00:36.520 All these nuts are put into your custody as a doctor, into your care.

01:00:42.180 You're given a job to make them human again so that they can go out and be productive members of society.

01:00:50.680 And not a one of your whole career. 0.99

01:00:53.300 You go, yeah, no, this person's bat crap crazy. 0.93

01:00:57.000 There's no way they should ever be put out there. 0.99

01:00:59.820 All right, then I guess we don't need you, doctor.

01:01:02.940 Yeah, they're going to go, oh, yes, oh, the new treatments we've given them.

01:01:08.740 This woman is just a banner citizen now.

01:01:13.580 And they let them out. 0.97

01:01:16.340 We've seen it happen.

01:01:18.520 And they've murdered after they've been let out.

01:01:23.940 I'm not for this, if you can tell.

01:01:27.320 I think in some cases like this, you're absolutely sure who did this, justice should be doled out immediately.

01:01:40.740 This woman never should have been taken into custody.

01:01:43.900 She should have been dispatched out on the street right when they found her.

01:01:49.660 Doesn't sound very constitutionally correct.

01:01:57.320 But, you know, sometimes my emotions get the best of me.

01:02:01.600 All right.

01:02:02.180 Where are you going, people?

01:02:03.320 Stick around.

01:02:04.120 Back in a moment.

01:02:06.040 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:11.660 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:02:13.600 And I just got this story.

01:02:15.900 This just popped up.

01:02:19.380 Star Democrat backer Deborah Messing.

01:02:22.580 She endorses GOP's Bruce Blakeman for New York governor.

01:02:26.180 It's what we need. 1.00

01:02:27.980 Now, if you've followed Debra Messing around like I have, there'll be a restraining order against you.

01:02:35.660 Oh, I'm teasing, of course. 1.00

01:02:36.980 Debra Messing has been a hardcore liberal Democrat for as long as I can remember since she's been famous. 1.00

01:02:46.220 Will and Grace, she was on that show. 1.00

01:02:47.800 So she's snubbing Democratic incumbent Governor Kathy Ockel 0.99

01:02:53.240 and instead will be backing Republican Bruce Blakeman in his gubernatorial campaign. 1.00

01:02:59.300 Quite a change for Messing. 1.00

01:03:00.800 She stumped for Hillary Clinton for president, 1.00

01:03:05.440 donated to far-left actress Cynthia Nixon's campaign for governor.

01:03:10.140 Remember that in 2018? That disaster.

01:03:13.240 But Brooklyn native Messing, who even appears in a video with Blakeman,

01:03:17.400 has complained about what she claims a decline in her hometown conditions this is one of the

01:03:25.460 liberals of liberals deborah messing i mean i've cursed her uh many times over uh her position on

01:03:36.580 things her statements uh just like i was saying earlier one of these celebrities that has no idea

01:03:44.180 what it's like to live in New York City as a working person, a citizen,

01:03:49.420 someone that has to take the subway, has to pay for congestion pricing

01:03:55.800 when they drive in, the cost, the danger of being in the city.

01:04:02.280 It's a mess.

01:04:04.720 And she, what, woke up?

01:04:06.920 Did she finally open her eyes?

01:04:09.420 I'm so grateful you are running, she said to Bruce Blakeman.

01:04:13.760 you are what we need more than anything more than anything she was at a recent fundraiser for

01:04:20.240 blakeman economically socially and on every level and obviously you've lost so much business here

01:04:26.960 people are leaving said messing an nyu alum how about that messing called the big apple the city

01:04:35.080 i love but said it's not the city i love anymore she looked at blakeman and said i believe in all

01:04:41.880 my heart that you are the answer you are the affordable campaign candidate the actress also

01:04:50.020 alluded to the nine dollar congestion pricing toll to enter manhattan oh look at that look at that

01:04:58.740 not liking those democrat liberal democrat policies it's just too expensive to live in 0.62

01:05:04.380 new york city i guess not many jobs coming in what was the last thing she did i don't know 0.90

01:05:10.820 And I love the fact that that is at the top of your mind, Messing told the Republican candidate.

01:05:17.180 Messing, who is Jewish, has publicly expressed her outrage over Hamas murderous October 7th, 23 attack on Israel.

01:05:26.700 The actress put up signs in Manhattan bearing the names of the information of hostages being held by the Palestinian terrorist

01:05:33.340 and begged far left students to leave the posters up amidst some being torn down.

01:05:39.220 So this is a personal thing for her. 0.95

01:05:41.380 And this is the problem with a lot of Hollywood celebrities, 0.99

01:05:47.220 liberal Hollywood celebrities.

01:05:48.780 They will say what they believe is the company line.

01:05:54.280 They have to say these things.

01:05:56.220 They're lefties.

01:05:57.460 They're communists.

01:05:59.720 They're liberal Hollywood elitists.

01:06:03.440 but then when something touches their lives personally now they're like hey wait a minute

01:06:11.080 i don't like this nine dollar uh congestion pricing yeah deborah no one does none of the

01:06:21.360 people that have to commute into new york city enjoy paying nine dollars every day

01:06:26.920 that they're coming in above and beyond the tolls for the bridges and tunnels and whatnot

01:06:32.140 But that wasn't a problem for you when you were, what, working?

01:06:40.940 When it went hand-in-hand with all the other liberal nonsense that politicians were doing?

01:06:47.540 Now it affects her, so she don't like it.

01:06:52.860 She also is no fan of left-wing anti-Israel Mayor Zoran Mamdani.

01:06:59.260 Messing endorsed Andrew Cuomo for mayor in a failed bid against Mimdani.

01:07:05.340 We all know what happened there.

01:07:07.600 Blakeman, meanwhile, is a staunch supporter of Israel,

01:07:10.340 while Hochul has taken heat for some of her alleged wishy-washy stance on Jewish issues. 0.93

01:07:17.660 Wishy and washy. 0.95

01:07:20.860 Her endorsement of Blakeman is still quite a turnabout after she drew backlash

01:07:25.480 and was accused of McCarthyism for wanting to shame donors

01:07:29.120 who attended a Beverly Hills fundraiser for Republican Trump back in 2019.

01:07:34.880 So she's not a Trump person.

01:07:36.680 She's still very anti-Donald Trump.

01:07:40.380 But she now, because, again, because it affects her personally,

01:07:46.240 she wants Bruce Blakeman in there, which, you know, look,

01:07:53.240 the end justifies the means.

01:07:54.740 If Blakeman becomes governor of New York State, all the better.

01:07:59.440 I don't care who votes for him or why they voted for him.

01:08:04.240 New York needs, needs a Republican governor in that office up in Albany.

01:08:12.760 Hochul has been a disaster.

01:08:15.400 She panders to the various interest groups whose interest is apparently destroying the state

01:08:22.760 and, of course, the city, like we've seen.

01:08:27.280 So, look, if turning around some of these liberals

01:08:31.840 that are personally affected by Hochul's policies,

01:08:37.500 if that turns them around and puts Blakeman over the top in November,

01:08:43.020 all the better.

01:08:45.240 And why wouldn't you, New York?

01:08:47.920 I mean, my God, think about it.

01:08:50.900 Try it.

01:08:52.760 He's not in there like the Pope.

01:08:54.400 He doesn't have to be in there until the day he loses in the game of life.

01:09:04.560 Give him four years.

01:09:07.900 See what he can do.

01:09:10.180 See what a Republican can do.

01:09:12.960 With somebody that is working for working New Yorkers, actual citizens of New York,

01:09:21.480 Contributing tax-paying citizens of New York.

01:09:25.860 Not pandering to illegals, people that are on the government teat, not working. 0.84

01:09:36.760 Give it a try. 0.93

01:09:39.300 You might like it.

01:09:40.880 You might actually like it.

01:09:42.240 Wouldn't it be nice to be able to let Blakeman do the driving for a little while

01:09:48.540 and know that this cockamamie legislation and policies aren't going to come out of Albany all of a sudden

01:09:57.660 and you're going to read and go, what?

01:10:00.200 More of my tax money for this?

01:10:02.660 For this?

01:10:04.720 So, yeah, give it a try.

01:10:06.700 That's pretty interesting that these liberals, even they're vulnerable when it comes to their own lives being negatively affected.

01:10:24.080 Even they'll turn and go, right, maybe.

01:10:29.420 I don't think they like it.

01:10:30.760 I think a lot of these liberals, maybe not a lot of them, but a few of them do not like the idea of illegals being put up in luxury New York hotels, being fed and clothed off of your dime, having to pay taxes that are through the roof.

01:10:55.260 And then, you know, how many Hollywood celebrities, rich people have these have these investment properties in New York that they don't live in and now they're going to be taxed through the roof.

01:11:10.020 They don't like this.

01:11:11.580 So some of them speak up and it's kind of nice to see kind of good to see.

01:11:16.640 All right, Debra, keep my eye on you for a little while.

01:11:19.720 All right.

01:11:20.520 Back in a flash.

01:11:22.060 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:28.260 It's the Anthony Cumia Show indeed.

01:11:30.660 And let's go to the phones right there in New Jersey.

01:11:36.200 Hi, Linda.

01:11:37.920 He's taking the knife out of the cheese.

01:11:40.200 I think he wants some cheese.

01:11:42.900 I'd love to tell you that's before my time, darling, but it isn't.

01:11:47.340 Arthur, it's great.

01:11:48.940 That was a great movie.

01:11:49.860 You must have hated that moose.

01:11:52.060 i've heard that line too okay uh from others but um i would like to say that

01:11:59.840 people better better vote red or they will end up feeling very blue because the left

01:12:08.100 left the borders open to stoners not pothead stoners but to the sixth century islamic stoners 0.76

01:12:16.620 and the islama drama is like halloween every day everywhere and it's never going to end 0.87

01:12:25.080 until we get them out it's so amazing to me that it's not even a sense of like well i don't care

01:12:32.760 one way or the other and through your own like negligence and and not paying attention uh a lot 0.72

01:12:39.580 of these uh islamic extremists uh come in to conquer the nation it's not even that that would 0.98

01:12:46.760 almost be useful it's the the invitation the excitement and and the love of bringing these 0.88

01:12:56.300 people into this country that the left the democrats have uh these are enemies they are

01:13:04.000 enemies they do not like our way of life they do not like uh america they don't like our our

01:13:12.580 history our culture they want nothing to do with it they want to turn this country into whatever 0.95

01:13:18.700 flintstones looking uh town or city or or uh uh crap hole that they came from this is what we've

01:13:27.640 and they have a good alliance with the left and uh the hijacking reminded me of the 9-11 0.58

01:13:34.880 hijackers who were al-qaeda terrorists and they were connected with uh with american mosques

01:13:42.420 and uh i remember when obama said to stop spying on the mosque i mean how dare they

01:13:48.580 but they're willing to spy on on the catholic religion that is still giving in uh latin which

01:13:55.060 is what i grew up with you know i mean the world is turned upside down it's like halloween every

01:14:01.680 day it's it's getting really it's getting so boring i'm just starting to turn channels off

01:14:06.680 it it really is linda and you know you bring up something that reminds me of another story

01:14:12.620 i had here and it's about um what is this place called broken arrow oklahoma a story came out of

01:14:21.520 Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, today.

01:14:23.980 That just sounds like a real, you know, rural kind of, I bet they love America.

01:14:32.040 I bet they love the fact that they have a say in what goes on in their town.

01:14:40.960 And this is exactly what happened.

01:14:44.400 Massive victory. 0.99

01:14:45.480 The city of Broken Arrow in Oklahoma has rejected construction of a massive Islamic center. 0.82

01:14:53.900 Hundreds of Patriot residents showed up. 1.00

01:15:05.060 See, that's the important part.

01:15:07.360 They showed up and made their voices heard.

01:15:10.180 The final vote was four to one in denial of building this giant Islamic center. 1.00

01:15:18.400 Now, this is great. 1.00

01:15:21.400 That's how it works.

01:15:22.740 Curtis Schlewart was trying to do in the beginning, standing up for people.

01:15:27.060 But then, you know, he just went.

01:15:28.780 Oh, yeah, it went to hell.

01:15:30.740 But everybody.

01:15:31.820 But, you know, I could see his point of view because everybody, all the show hosts, all

01:15:36.460 his co-workers all turned on him

01:15:38.540 because they wanted Cuomo in. 1.00

01:15:41.040 Except stupid Anthony. 1.00

01:15:42.660 The only one who had a chance. 1.00

01:15:44.540 Stupid Anthony hung on to the bitter 1.00

01:15:46.540 end supporting that guy 1.00

01:15:48.320 like an idiot. I think the raspberry 1.00

01:15:50.580 dye from his beret went

01:15:52.520 into his brain.

01:15:55.420 Well,

01:15:56.220 what are you going to do?

01:15:58.300 Well, thanks for the call, Linda.

01:16:00.900 I just want to say there was no choice

01:16:02.700 in that election.

01:16:03.800 No, no. The proverbial rock and a hard place with that one. Thank you, dear. Thanks for the call.

01:16:12.440 Yeah, when you have a group of people in a town and they are willing to step up, go to these city council meetings, this was a zoning issue.

01:16:26.160 They had to approve the zoning for this giant Islamic center in the middle of their town.

01:16:35.720 And they showed up and said, nope, ain't going to do it.

01:16:40.660 And a lot of the reasoning that was given was infrastructure wise. 0.97

01:16:45.180 I saw some guy speaking and he said, hey, we have a road that runs through that this Islamic center is supposed to be on this road. 0.98

01:16:54.500 that can barely handle the traffic that's there now.

01:16:58.460 It's two lanes.

01:16:59.680 It's not supposed to be expanded for five more years

01:17:03.980 because we're going to have five years of traffic

01:17:06.540 that is impassable if we put a place this big

01:17:10.580 that people will be using this road to get to.

01:17:14.100 Look, whatever you got to do,

01:17:16.560 and I know damn well they want to stand up there and go,

01:17:19.220 we do not want our town to start having the call to prayer five times a day.

01:17:29.120 We don't want to hear that in our town five times a day.

01:17:33.660 And that's how it starts.

01:17:35.580 You do not want us, the Islamic Center, it is peaceful, our freedom of religion. 0.95

01:17:42.180 Yeah, and then you realize you're hearing the call to prayer at 5 a.m.

01:17:47.900 and at night and five more times during the day.

01:17:52.240 And you go, what happened?

01:17:53.920 How did that happen?

01:17:54.840 They were just going to build this place,

01:17:56.400 and it was going to be great and peaceful,

01:17:58.780 and we're all getting along.

01:18:00.220 No.

01:18:01.640 Nip it in the bud, and that's what they did.

01:18:05.100 Hats off to the fine folks of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma,

01:18:09.420 for shutting that one down. 0.99

01:18:12.080 Because the slippery slope, the give them an inch, 0.68

01:18:15.520 they'll take a mile is in play every single time with certain groups of people. 1.00

01:18:25.000 You saw what happened with the LGBTQ group, didn't you? 0.99

01:18:31.140 We just want to be married.

01:18:33.440 We want the same rights everyone else has.

01:18:36.820 We just want the ability to walk down the streets holding hands

01:18:40.600 with our significant other without violence.

01:18:43.240 and everyone went, you know, that sounds reasonable.

01:18:46.560 Okay. 0.98

01:18:48.140 Fast forward, there's guys shaking their man asses at kids in a parade. 0.99

01:18:54.380 They're reading pornographic stories to children in libraries. 0.99

01:19:00.000 Well, I thought it would be nice.

01:19:02.640 We just let them get married and everything.

01:19:04.900 Yeah. 1.00

01:19:05.900 Nip it.

01:19:07.360 Nip it in the bud.

01:19:08.620 Could you hit the phone thing again so I don't lose my precious, precious, my collars, my precious?

01:19:18.700 Anyway.

01:19:19.940 All right.

01:19:20.780 Well, we were talking earlier about Brandon Johnson and the fact that Chicago is a disaster. 0.98

01:19:25.760 There are thugs, maniacs, and mental patients walking around. 0.96

01:19:30.100 As I said, horrible story. 0.99

01:19:31.700 A seven-year-old stabbed to death in the middle of the day by some lunatic.

01:19:36.160 so what's Mayor Brandon Johnson going to do besides you know nothing but he's got an idea

01:19:44.040 let's work with him here maybe maybe this is the solution I think I've heard other people

01:19:50.620 recommend this or say that they were going to put this in place in their cities a program

01:19:58.340 where health care workers show up instead of police after a 911 call.

01:20:06.860 You know, you have a call, 911, help me. 1.00

01:20:13.560 There's a nut in my house.

01:20:15.840 Perhaps it's a family member.

01:20:17.940 Perhaps it's a rando, just some nut job wandering the neighborhood.

01:20:22.300 And they'll go, okay, hold on.

01:20:24.640 we're sending a mental health counselor stat and you go wait uh yeah what you're does he have a gun

01:20:37.300 because this guy is off his rocker uh this is brandon johnson's solution to a woman a nutty

01:20:48.120 woman with a knife stabbing a seven-year-old because this person is under mental evaluation

01:20:53.620 right now they're not a criminal per se if you talk to people like brandon johnson so uh maybe

01:21:01.380 a counselor a health care professional would have been dispatched to this woman brandishing a knife

01:21:08.220 instead of the police that could have done a great job with uh one of their nine millimeter

01:21:14.840 sidearms uh let's listen ac1 is the clip and this is brandon johnson each year chicago police

01:21:22.860 officers respond to tens of thousands of mental health related calls when a specialized response

01:21:29.240 for mental or social distress is what's actually needed. Thousands of Chicagoans don't ask for

01:21:34.640 help because they're worried that they or their loved one won't get real care in their moment of

01:21:39.380 crisis. Could you cause that for a minute? Why would a family member, a loved one, a co-worker,

01:21:47.360 Someone that called 911 on this person, why would they be worried that whoever shows up isn't going to treat them the way they should be treated?

01:22:03.340 If the person's violent, the police will treat them in kind.

01:22:10.040 Look, you're being violent.

01:22:11.680 You're threatening deadly force against somebody.

01:22:15.020 We have to do our job.

01:22:16.900 If they're not, if they just seem a little screwy, he's got a screw loose duck.

01:22:24.080 Then, yeah, they'll handle him.

01:22:26.460 That way they're not going to pull their gun out and start shooting

01:22:28.540 if someone's just sitting on the stoop going,

01:22:30.900 but the person calling wants the proper response coming to their emergency,

01:22:43.380 and that usually entails the police.

01:22:46.560 The police are a good thing to have because no matter how sideways it goes, they're prepared for that.

01:22:51.900 Do you think a mental health worker will be prepared if someone all of a sudden pulls out a kitchen knife and lunges at them?

01:22:58.660 Do you think they're prepared?

01:23:00.320 I'm sure the family is going to be happy they're not shot.

01:23:03.200 But I don't know how good the family of the health care worker is going to feel going to that funeral because they were stabbed in the throat.

01:23:11.460 All right.

01:23:13.380 Continue, please.

01:23:14.240 an engagement or care is a new program that responds to mental health crises adding specialized

01:23:21.760 support to our city's emergency response system the care team is made up of emts and mental health

01:23:27.920 professionals you can request a care team through 9-1-1 if someone you love is in crisis and needs

01:23:34.600 a trained professional to talk to a neighbor on the street seems overwhelmed dysregulated or unable

01:23:40.600 to care for themselves and needs resources a situation is escalating and needs a compassionate

01:23:46.300 expert to calm things down before it becomes a crisis if you or someone you know is going through

01:23:51.640 a mental or emotional crisis care is here to help care is still in its early stages we are adding

01:23:57.940 more vans and team members including fan speakers and expanding cares hours of operation to ensure

01:24:04.340 we're reaching all of our communities in their time of need sometimes police are not the right

01:24:09.820 fit for a mental health crisis care steps in to make sure you get compassionate specialized care

01:24:15.480 when you need it most do uh do the cops just show up and start shooting i'm sure you'll get some

01:24:24.440 people that will say yes that's exactly what they do someone's in a mental crisis and the

01:24:31.840 cops pull up and they just gun them down and uh i've never seen that i've seen the police have to

01:24:38.760 use deadly force on people that are mentally, you know, woohoo, because they're threatening

01:24:46.520 deadly physical force. 0.52

01:24:48.540 They have a weapon on them.

01:24:50.660 So you do see this happen.

01:24:52.740 But I've also seen people in mental crises where the cops show up and talk to them and

01:24:59.860 get them to calm down, whatever they need to do.

01:25:06.340 They're not treating them like somebody that wishes to harm other people.

01:25:12.980 This sounds like a plan that is going to get innocent people hurt or killed. 0.99

01:25:21.740 I don't want to say I can't wait to see it, but I'm really, like I said earlier, a piece of garbage. 1.00

01:25:28.760 And I do like when I see consequences from people making stupid decisions. 1.00

01:25:37.700 I'm kind of an I told you so guy. 1.00

01:25:40.440 So I do kind of like seeing that.

01:25:42.680 But look, I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

01:25:45.980 But this is a plan that has people getting hurt in its future.

01:25:52.340 Definitely.

01:25:53.740 We'll see.

01:25:54.800 We'll see.

01:25:55.360 I won't say it's definitely going to happen, but it does seem like something that is bound to happen.

01:26:06.020 All right, let me go to the phones here.

01:26:08.300 Let's talk to Michael in Jersey.

01:26:13.360 What's up, man?

01:26:14.780 Yeah, you were saying before about the people listen to these celebrities and they think that they're God sent.

01:26:23.720 The reason for that is very, very simple. 0.99

01:26:26.580 The people are nuts. 1.00

01:26:28.240 They're crazy. 1.00

01:26:29.060 They're idiots. 1.00

01:26:29.860 They're imbeciles. 1.00

01:26:31.160 Now, let me give you a perfect example of just how crazy people can be. 1.00

01:26:36.580 When the mayor was marching in the St. Patrick's Day parade, he went past the statue of Christopher Columbus.

01:26:43.500 He gave his finger to the statue.

01:26:47.120 He also wanted to remove the statue, and he wanted to rename Columbus Circle Indigenous People's Circle. 1.00

01:26:55.760 On top of that, this moron, this imbecile, when he made a map of the city, 0.99

01:27:01.800 he excluded Little Italy in downtown Manhattan and Little Italy up in the Bronx. 1.00

01:27:08.640 So basically, the mayor hates Italian people.

01:27:12.920 So what does the president of the Columbus Day Parade do? 0.65

01:27:18.900 Invites him to march in the parade.

01:27:21.500 He invites him to march in the parade.

01:27:23.140 Yep, yep.

01:27:24.100 Okay?

01:27:24.920 Now, I was saying, oh boy, there's going to be yelling and screaming. 1.00

01:27:29.520 The Italian people are going to go to him and say, listen, you moron, you idiot, you SOB. 1.00

01:27:35.820 You invited him. 1.00

01:27:37.160 Now you uninvite him.

01:27:39.460 Guess what?

01:27:40.500 Nothing.

01:27:40.880 Nothing was said.

01:27:42.100 The only one who is screaming their head off is me, and I'm not even Italian.

01:27:51.240 I'm of British descent.

01:27:53.260 I talk to other Italian people, and I tell them this.

01:27:58.520 Oh, you know, he's the mayor.

01:28:00.660 They've got to invite him.

01:28:01.800 I said, aren't you outraged about it?

01:28:04.080 I'm not Italian, and I'm outraged.

01:28:06.680 Nothing.

01:28:07.640 No response.

01:28:09.120 So I've come to the conclusion that, yes, Holcomb will win 1.00

01:28:14.100 and all the other lunatics will win because the American people are lunatics. 1.00

01:28:20.420 Especially New York. 1.00

01:28:22.240 There's so many lunatics in New York. 0.96

01:28:24.260 But, no, I appreciate what you're saying, too, Michael, 0.96

01:28:27.480 because when I heard that, and, look, again, Sid Rosenberg,

01:28:34.960 he's certainly not Italian. 1.00

01:28:36.420 uh he's not going but he's like yeah i'm done he said he's not going right and and rightly so 0.90

01:28:44.860 it's it's uh it's disgusting what why would you give this guy the time of day uh he he does not

01:28:52.880 appreciate any other culture but his own uh everything he's doing is a ruse to try to win

01:29:00.460 over other people oh i'm sure he had a great line of bs uh to the italians that run the columbus day

01:29:08.880 parade and they're like oh yeah this guy well they made some deal they made some deal with them

01:29:14.760 i don't know it's just it's so disheartening i just don't think and like you said the italians

01:29:20.380 should have come forward and gone no get this guy out of here but people have been so beaten down

01:29:26.160 Michael uh you know the the the pride of culture pride of nation pride of your heritage it it's

01:29:33.860 been it's been made into such a bad thing to have that people just don't seem to care anymore

01:29:40.160 and and the best thing is they invited him to march in a parade honoring someone that they

01:29:48.720 despise that he despises yeah but how do you I mean how do you do that I don't know I don't know

01:29:54.960 I blew my mind.

01:29:56.860 People have lost it.

01:29:58.100 People have lost it, Michael.

01:29:59.540 The Greek parade is going to be next?

01:30:02.120 Or the Steuben Day parade? 1.00

01:30:03.760 Or, I mean, are all these other nationalities going to invite this lowlife piece of garbage to march in their parade? 0.99

01:30:11.740 And, by the way, the Columbus Day parade and the St. Paddy's Day parade and whatnot, 0.98

01:30:16.040 they're the parades that you don't have to worry that people are getting shot or stabbed at.

01:30:21.700 Right.

01:30:22.760 You're correct.

01:30:23.540 Right.

01:30:24.140 Absolutely. 0.99

01:30:25.480 But, yeah, Columbus is garbage, and the statue should go, and we're indigenous people. 0.99

01:30:31.720 My God. 0.98

01:30:32.200 Michael, I've got to take a break, but thanks for the call, man.

01:30:34.680 I do appreciate that.

01:30:36.780 Yeah, we'll be back in moments.

01:30:38.940 What else do I want to talk about today?

01:30:41.620 Trump shutting down the Somali refugees.

01:30:45.140 We got J.B. Pritzker talking about how he's got some illegal alien pals.

01:30:51.780 I don't know.

01:30:53.040 Don't go anywhere.

01:30:54.020 back in a flash it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:31:00.380 it's the anthony cumia show and uh boy plenty going on this evening a lot more to get to

01:31:08.960 um yeah uh it seems donald trump has told the somali refugees uh they're not welcome

01:31:19.860 is not welcome to come here anymore.

01:31:24.300 I don't know why this happened in the first place.

01:31:29.460 I mean, look, I know there's some really bad places

01:31:32.840 on the face of this great earth of ours,

01:31:35.340 and there are people suffering in those horrible places.

01:31:41.120 But it doesn't mean you can scoop them all up

01:31:43.500 and give them a better life. 0.99

01:31:45.280 There's a reason these places are crap holes. 0.99

01:31:50.220 There's a reason. 0.99

01:31:52.840 And that can be debated as to why, but there are reasons.

01:31:58.680 And I think the best thing people can do is try to make their country a better place.

01:32:06.460 That's what happened in this country of ours, the great United States of America.

01:32:14.460 People said, we got this untamed land.

01:32:18.740 and it's not going to be easy

01:32:21.960 and there are people here that do not like us

01:32:25.400 and want to kill us

01:32:26.860 there's wildlife and animals here that want to kill us 0.77

01:32:31.800 that didn't turn them away

01:32:33.740 they didn't run away to another place that was already developed

01:32:37.120 they ran from a place that was developed

01:32:40.840 at the time the United Kingdom

01:32:43.780 was one of the most developed

01:32:48.120 nations on earth and they left that to come to an untamed wild place where disease death

01:33:00.420 and destruction was around every corner and they said yeah we're going to make something

01:33:07.480 of this we're going to make a go at it and there have been trials and tribulations in

01:33:13.920 this country ever since they do not stop and uh real americans with that american spirit

01:33:21.120 uh they make the best of it they work the problem and they get through it and continue to advance

01:33:29.080 and and become better people better citizens and a better country and then

01:33:35.140 we start bringing in people 0.56

01:33:39.820 from bad countries 1.00

01:33:42.420 that don't even want to work

01:33:44.320 at making their country a better place. 1.00

01:33:47.060 If you're from a crap hole country 1.00

01:33:50.200 and you haven't even attempted 1.00

01:33:53.140 to make that country better,

01:33:55.640 why do we want you?

01:33:58.040 Why do we want you to come here?

01:34:00.860 To make our country a worse place? 0.98

01:34:05.140 to suckle off of the citizens that are productive people,

01:34:13.240 that pay taxes, to defraud everything we do, to be charitable.

01:34:22.860 We don't want you.

01:34:25.060 We do not want you. 0.95

01:34:26.660 If you've fought, if you've tried your damnedest to make your country a better place,

01:34:32.420 and it's just, it's too much.

01:34:35.640 You can't fight anymore.

01:34:38.020 Then I believe you should have the opportunity to come here

01:34:41.840 and fight that hard here to make this country a better place

01:34:46.300 because you'll be welcome.

01:34:48.020 Look at these South Africans, these farmers and businessmen 0.99

01:34:53.840 that are just murdered.

01:34:57.240 You want to talk genocide?

01:34:58.780 They're murdered.

01:34:59.600 and uh trump opened up the the gates of this country for them to come over here and i've seen

01:35:09.840 so many success stories from these south africans farmers that in a matter of years they are

01:35:19.520 contributing their talents and uh making this country a better place while making their lives

01:35:29.000 for them and their families better.

01:35:31.460 Isn't that what we want? 1.00

01:35:33.860 We don't want people coming from these third-world countries 1.00

01:35:37.700 to turn our country into a third-world country. 1.00

01:35:43.540 Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dearborn, Michigan.

01:35:46.760 Do you think they care about the 4th of July?

01:35:53.100 Do you think they care?

01:35:54.120 Do you think they have any clue what it was like to grow up in America?

01:36:03.280 To be with your friends and ride bikes and just do things that reek of Americana?

01:36:11.320 They despise it.

01:36:13.720 And we bring them here by the boatload.

01:36:16.640 The Democrats do anyway.

01:36:19.300 It's terrible, and it's not making this country a better place.

01:36:27.760 There is no net positive for doing this.

01:36:32.880 Diversity is our greatest strength.

01:36:34.800 Is it?

01:36:36.120 Is it really? 1.00

01:36:38.160 Bringing people here that have no clue how to assimilate to this country, 1.00

01:36:42.640 what it means to work for what you get, 1.00

01:36:46.020 and in doing that, you're making the country a better place

01:36:51.020 while making your life better.

01:36:53.500 This is an alien concept to a lot of the people

01:36:59.280 that have been allowed to come here the past few decades,

01:37:03.400 especially under the likes of Obama, the Biden puppet regime, Clinton.

01:37:10.480 Clinton is the one that started with the whole Somali thing.

01:37:14.060 Bush didn't stop either. 0.94

01:37:16.020 He's to blame, too.

01:37:19.660 There are people that could immigrate to this country that would make the country a better place,

01:37:26.340 that would be welcome, that could move next door to you

01:37:29.980 and instantly spark up a conversation about things that you're familiar with,

01:37:39.240 that you have the same ideology about.

01:37:43.880 Why is that such a bad thing?

01:37:46.020 Why do you need virtual aliens, like other planet aliens, moving in next door to you?

01:37:53.380 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:37:59.220 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:38:01.620 And before the break, talking about Donald Trump shutting down Somali refugees from coming here, 1.00

01:38:09.780 which I think is a great idea. 1.00

01:38:12.340 I mean, let's be real.

01:38:15.200 What are they contributing by coming here?

01:38:18.500 A people, a culture should enrich the new land that they have come to.

01:38:27.800 And I don't see it happening.

01:38:29.480 I see a people that despise the United States.

01:38:32.940 I see a people that want nothing to do with enriching this nation.

01:38:37.180 I see people that want to change this nation, oddly enough, 0.98

01:38:41.840 to become the very garbage place that they came from. 0.98

01:38:46.800 So let's listen to Donald Trump, the clip is AC4, 0.99

01:38:50.300 talking about Somalia and shutting the door on him.

01:38:55.640 Did all refugee admissions from Somalia, a beautiful place, 1.00

01:38:59.660 and other dangerous places, they can't come in. 1.00

01:39:02.000 We don't want Somalia here.

01:39:04.880 People say, oh, that's such a horrible thing to say. 0.99

01:39:08.040 You know, they have a 98% unemployment rate.

01:39:11.840 But they're very good at ripping us off.

01:39:14.340 Can you believe it?

01:39:15.420 Ripping us off. 0.98

01:39:16.740 No, they can stay where they came from.

01:39:19.180 See, what's wrong with that?

01:39:21.940 You will hear from people that gasp.

01:39:27.160 They gasp hearing that clip.

01:39:29.720 Clutch those pearls. 1.00

01:39:31.760 Oh, this racist president. 0.98

01:39:36.140 What's racist about not wanting a people, regardless of their racial makeup, 0.97

01:39:46.220 what's racist about not wanting people coming to this country 0.98

01:39:50.300 that will be nothing but a burden to the country, that have proven?

01:39:56.600 We've seen up in Minneapolis this concerted effort to defraud

01:40:01.640 the working taxpaying people.

01:40:05.180 of the united states of america what what is so wrong with saying no you're done isn't that what's

01:40:14.100 done all over the place always no matter who you are if someone screws you over you don't allow

01:40:23.480 them to continue screwing you over do you someone you know a person that you've invited into your

01:40:30.640 home perhaps they steal they go oh i'm gonna use the uh the bathroom i'll be right back

01:40:37.780 and then uh you realize they've stolen something from your room do you just invite him back and

01:40:44.780 tell his whole family to come in and no you're done you blew it we gave you a chance and you

01:40:53.100 blew it so uh enough and i think that's a great thing i think we should uh look at a lot of

01:41:02.000 countries that um the democrats have allowed to just come here to take advantage oh americans

01:41:13.380 we love you oh the politicians oh we just want to make things better we want to save americans money

01:41:20.240 We want to keep Americans safe.

01:41:22.660 That's what we do.

01:41:24.120 And every single policy makes us unsafe and costs us dearly

01:41:32.200 while we're barely holding on by our fingertips financially

01:41:37.740 and we're just doling more money out to freeloaders and people that hate you.

01:41:45.580 I don't want to be that dummy.

01:41:48.160 I'm not that dummy.

01:41:49.940 How about Amy Klobuchar?

01:41:53.260 Here we go, Amy Klobuchar. 1.00

01:41:54.860 She's pandering to the Somalis up there in Minnesota. 1.00

01:42:02.020 It's disgusting to watch this, and it's mind-boggling to think people lap this up. 0.88

01:42:10.780 They believe it. 0.59

01:42:11.780 They buy into it.

01:42:12.900 They go, oh, this Amy Klobuchar, what a nice woman 0.99

01:42:15.520 that she's taking care of these somali people it's pandering for votes it's pandering and 1.00

01:42:42.220 to this community.

01:42:44.380 Oh, thank you.

01:42:45.460 Okay, very good.

01:42:46.560 They gave her an upside-down American flag.

01:42:48.700 Three things to say.

01:42:50.280 Danta, Doka, and Dutka. 1.00

01:42:54.160 What is that Somali for? 0.96

01:42:56.980 It wasn't too hot.

01:42:58.140 As you know, we are home to the largest Somali population

01:43:02.600 in the United States,

01:43:04.460 and we are so proud of that fact in Minnesota.

01:43:09.060 What a pleasant voice.

01:43:10.180 to celebrate somalia's successful election of president abdulahi oh i'm sure it was all on

01:43:20.220 the up and up solidarity between our somali community here in minnesota and the growing

01:43:28.200 democracy in somalia congressman ellison and senator franken and i worked so hard

01:43:35.200 to reduce the redundant regulations on remittances to Somalia,

01:43:41.600 lessening the funds for banks.

01:43:43.700 We have more to do, but we will continue to fight for you.

01:43:47.340 Let us remember we are one Minnesota,

01:43:50.240 and our Somali community is part, an important part, of that one Minnesota.

01:43:56.880 Thank you, everyone.

01:43:58.600 Why? Why is that important?

01:44:01.100 Why is it important to acknowledge the election that went on in Somalia?

01:44:07.340 The cluster F election, I'm sure.

01:44:11.520 Why? 0.99

01:44:12.920 They left there as refugees saying this place is so toxic that I need to get out of there lickety split and come here to America lest me and my family be murdered. 1.00

01:44:31.100 And it's important to celebrate Somalia and their election 1.00

01:44:39.260 of some other puppet leader, warlord, 0.99

01:44:46.560 that's going to just rape the people of food and money. 1.00

01:44:53.860 Unbelievable, this woman. 1.00

01:44:55.760 and saying that she is working with the banks to make it easier for Somalis 0.95

01:45:05.000 to take money from this country and send it back to Somalia.

01:45:11.720 That's what she was saying by remittance.

01:45:15.420 Trump has put in place certain restrictions that make it more difficult 0.60

01:45:20.760 for Somalis to rip off the American people here in America 1.00

01:45:26.680 and send their booty, their winnings, back to that country 1.00

01:45:34.620 to do God knows what.

01:45:37.420 God knows what nefarious nonsense we are financing

01:45:42.720 by them sending money.

01:45:45.100 And there's Amy Klobuchar celebrating,

01:45:47.860 telling them she's going to make it easier

01:45:51.860 regardless of the roadblocks Trump put in the way 0.90

01:45:55.300 to send money over there to Somalia

01:45:58.500 she's going to do her damnedest 1.00

01:46:00.840 with Al Franken 0.97

01:46:02.860 to send money over to Somalia

01:46:06.680 did Al Franken feel you up Amy?

01:46:11.060 were you dozing and did he come and take a funny picture

01:46:14.540 feeling you up, feeling you up, it's beyond me. 0.99

01:46:22.460 That is a traitor. 1.00

01:46:25.080 She is a traitor to the country. 1.00

01:46:28.640 This allegiance to a garbage nation, Somalia, 1.00

01:46:34.640 and the very people that came here under the guise, under the ruse, 1.00

01:46:41.940 the false pretense of being victims of this tyrannical, war-torn nation of Somalia

01:46:52.980 couldn't be happier celebrating their previous nation, sending money back. 0.98

01:47:02.980 No one sees a problem with that? 1.00

01:47:05.720 Am I the idiot? 1.00

01:47:07.500 Am I the one that doesn't understand what's going on? 1.00

01:47:10.240 amy klobuchar my ass un effing believable i i i none of it makes sense how does she go out in 0.98

01:47:24.520 public without people throwing a rotting cabbage at her it's like the old days they had the old 1.00

01:47:32.700 stockade the stocks that they put in in the center of town they had a lot of rotting

01:47:39.900 vegetables back in the old days seems that way because anytime somebody was there uh there was

01:47:45.840 always a some rotting cabbage available to lob into their faces ah the good old days i miss it

01:47:53.920 unbelievable sergio jersey what's up my friend

01:48:19.160 Yeah.

01:48:20.520 The one, the governor, Hochul, she had one.

01:48:23.200 I don't understand.

01:48:24.840 How is it that our Congress and our representatives and our Senate,

01:48:29.380 how do they not please each other and vote each other out?

01:48:33.420 Like, Klobuchar should be voted out. 0.90

01:48:35.460 She should not be serving in office. 0.56

01:48:36.940 Man, Dami should not be serving in office. 0.75

01:48:39.280 Like, how are these people getting elected?

01:48:43.040 These people, Sergio, Sergio, these people's priority, it is not the United States of America.

01:48:52.960 It isn't.

01:48:53.880 It's proven.

01:48:54.660 You can't argue a point that would lead me to believe that these people's best interests are America, Americans, the American way of life.

01:49:08.980 They despise it.

01:49:10.460 They have loyalty to other nations, other religions, and that's so much more important to them than America and Americans. 0.98

01:49:20.160 They use our money, they steal our money, and send it back to these crap hole countries that only mean to do us harm, and there's no consequence for it. 0.95

01:49:33.160 Amy Klobuchar can go out in public, go to a restaurant, go to the movies, and not be ridiculed and driven out of town with pitchforks and torches like Frankenstein. 0.93

01:49:47.600 I mean, these people take the oath, and they just take the oath, they put their hand up, they take that oath, and then as soon as that hand is lifted from the Bible, they go, they backtrack on the oath, number one. 0.93

01:50:03.500 They're liars.

01:50:04.500 The sovereignty of America, the security of America, Americans first, America first. 0.96

01:50:10.740 Doesn't matter to them.

01:50:11.780 They backtrack on all of it.

01:50:12.620 No, it doesn't matter.

01:50:13.700 Doesn't matter. 0.90

01:50:14.020 It's sickening. 0.99

01:50:15.060 It's disgusting. 0.99

01:50:16.880 Yep. 0.90

01:50:17.180 It drives me nuts to this very moment that we're speaking

01:50:22.760 because I know it's like there's a woman that spoke earlier,

01:50:26.120 and she doesn't even want to watch the news, though.

01:50:27.820 They needed to watch.

01:50:29.740 It's gotten to that point.

01:54:12.020 some of the greatest people he's uh ever been around let's listen shall we

01:54:17.080 it'll start soon i swear ac6 jb pritzker and that the people are in this country who are

01:54:34.140 uh who are undocumented uh who are following the laws people who are holding down a job and paying

01:54:40.380 they're not um there are neighbors and our friends i mean i have friends who are in this country who

01:55:01.180 buddies over there they come over the house they hang out with the fam maybe roast up a burger or

01:55:07.860 A hot dog on the grill with you?

01:55:11.220 Hello, baby.

01:55:13.360 Is that what happens?

01:55:15.920 Undocumented. 0.94

01:55:16.780 Look at the language. 0.88

01:55:18.720 When you have to twist, turn, and pervert the words

01:55:24.000 so they don't sound as offensive as the truth sounds,

01:55:29.260 then you know someone's lying to your face.

01:55:33.740 When you have to say undocumented 1.00

01:55:35.880 because illegal alien is too true. 1.00

01:55:40.600 It's too real.

01:55:41.700 It gives too accurate a description of what you're talking about.

01:55:47.160 And you've got to pull out your Newspeak 28th edition

01:55:51.560 to twist and turn the language to make it more palatable.

01:55:58.260 Then who's the liar?

01:56:00.840 Who's the liar then? 0.80

01:56:02.260 And by the way, if you think for a second J.B. Pritzker has any undocumented friends, you're out of your mind.

01:56:14.120 This guy, everyone he knows, has money, is connected, is in business, politics, obviously.

01:56:25.440 Oh, he's just hanging out with someone that sits on a spackle bucket outside of Home Depot,

01:56:31.000 waiting for a daily gig, sweeping up after the roofers.

01:56:37.040 Is that it?

01:56:38.640 JB, you hang out with that guy?

01:56:40.780 You discuss what it's like pushing a wheelbarrow full of spackle dust and sheetrock.

01:56:50.520 Is that your new buddy?

01:56:53.000 They're so dishonest. 1.00

01:56:55.340 They're such liars. 1.00

01:56:58.380 But, yeah, undocumented. 1.00

01:57:02.280 His illegal alien friends.

01:57:05.600 And they're great people, by the way.

01:57:07.200 I love when they say that they pay their taxes.

01:57:10.780 how do you know they're undocumented this is the the language they use doesn't make sense

01:57:20.840 oh yeah the undocumented guy files his taxes how how does he pay his taxes you don't have a social 0.75

01:57:30.840 security number if he does he got that illegally now he's a criminal again now you've completely 0.81

01:57:37.520 come full circle where he is a criminal.

01:57:41.280 He's not just an undocumented, hard-working guy.

01:57:45.800 They cannot be honest with you for a second.

01:57:51.980 No one should give their votes to these people that lie right to your face.

01:57:58.800 Show me.

01:57:59.960 Show me, Pritzker. 1.00

01:58:01.240 Show me one of your illegal alien pals. 1.00

01:58:05.520 he can't 1.00

01:58:07.860 he won't because he can't

01:58:11.440 holy mackerel

01:58:14.360 do you even get it

01:58:16.060 do you even get it

01:58:18.060 I'm going to take a break in a couple of minutes

01:58:21.960 but I want to talk about

01:58:24.260 Mamdani wanted to disband

01:58:27.540 the NYPD's

01:58:29.960 SRG team

01:58:31.880 these are a bunch of cops

01:58:34.320 that are in charge of a couple of things.

01:58:37.460 Anti-terrorism, which is pretty important,

01:58:40.280 and riot control.

01:58:42.340 They don't want people, you know, rioting.

01:58:46.820 And the way Mamdani talks about this,

01:58:49.540 again, it's the same thing, the language.

01:58:51.700 If you have to twist the language around

01:58:55.020 to make it more palatable,

01:58:57.760 then what you're saying is in and of itself dishonest.

01:59:02.980 that's what you're doing you're lying to people and if you spoke in plain english

01:59:08.360 straight square the way it's supposed to be said people would would not believe you

01:59:18.880 so you have to twist it around and that's what he does uh when he's talking about busting up this uh

01:59:27.100 NYPD squad that has

01:59:29.520 been doing great work. We see

01:59:31.380 this guy, Mimdani, he wants to break up

01:59:33.360 the gang squads

01:59:34.860 because

01:59:36.440 who do they go after? Gangs.

01:59:39.980 Who make up the majority

01:59:41.540 of gangs in New York City? 0.99

01:59:43.660 Minorities. And you 1.00

01:59:45.480 can't go after minorities?

01:59:47.680 I ran on a platform of 0.93

01:59:49.460 getting minority votes.

01:59:52.420 How are you enjoying those

01:59:53.340 free buses, New York? You loving

01:59:55.460 it oh by the way uh in the spring it goes up the bus fares go up so enjoy that all right we'll do

02:00:05.100 that more in moments it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:00:13.160 it's the anthony cumia show and uh yeah we were just talking about uh zorn and danny

02:00:20.960 and he wants to break up the strategic response group um nypd uh group and uh what they do

02:00:30.600 this team is uh they're anti-terrorism very important in new york new york is always has

02:00:38.560 been and always will be a primary target to uh terrorists and uh what else they do is when

02:00:47.020 And New York has a demonstration, a protest.

02:00:53.180 I'm not even going to really call it a protest because if they were just peacefully protesting as per their First Amendment right, you would not need the strategic response group.

02:01:07.260 Police can patrol, make sure everybody's staying where they're supposed to be,

02:01:13.380 not going where they're not supposed to be, not blocking traffic, not vandalizing.

02:01:19.260 That's a protest.

02:01:21.240 That is what is protected by the First Amendment.

02:01:25.340 But we rarely see that these days, right?

02:01:29.140 When you see people saying they're protesting, they are doing things that are not.

02:01:36.480 by that first amendment they are infringing on other people's rights uh they are destroying

02:01:44.920 property assaulting people uh and law enforcement needs to step in and do something and this uh srg

02:01:54.420 uh is part of that that team that uh of the mypd that makes sure people adhere to the the laws

02:02:05.260 that's what we have agreed upon as a civilized society that laws are in place they need to be

02:02:14.840 adhered to and when they are not we have given the police a certain amount of latitude to take

02:02:21.920 care of the the problem uh so here's zorm and danny i guess he had spoken about this earlier

02:02:30.700 probably during his campaign and a reporter asks him hey what's the dilly yo with this uh busting

02:02:38.760 up the srg team and uh zorn gives an answer the clip is ac3 let's listen speaking of promises

02:02:47.220 um the srg last week outside the un you had members of that unit arrest um people protesting

02:02:56.320 Benjamin Netanyahu, including some elected officials that are quite close to you.

02:03:00.480 Do you think that's an appropriate use of police resources?

02:03:04.560 I've been clear that my vision is for the disbanding of the SRG.

02:03:08.840 And the reason for that vision is that the SRG were created a little more than a decade ago

02:03:13.540 with an intention first of dealing with threats, terroristic threats to the city.

02:03:20.760 And what it has eventually become is both dealing with counterterrorism

02:03:24.860 and responses to exercising First Amendment rights.

02:03:29.280 I do not believe that those purposes...

02:03:31.860 And the response to exercising First Amendment rights, do you see?

02:03:38.060 This is what I'm talking about, twisting and turning.

02:03:42.360 Now, why would you have to respond to people exercising their First Amendment rights?

02:03:49.940 You wouldn't.

02:03:51.660 Why would law enforcement have to be involved when people are doing nothing more than exercising a God-given right that we have as American citizens, as human beings?

02:04:04.160 Well, he has to say that because he can't say responding to rioters, people under the guise of their First Amendment right, of protesting, of demonstrating.

02:04:18.500 but they are destroying things they are harming people they are infringing on other people's

02:04:25.040 rights but if he said that then the reporter i would assume would say huh that certainly sounds

02:04:34.140 like a reason to keep this uh nypd team uh the srg together if if they're responding to these

02:04:44.560 protests that go sideways and end up crashing through plate glass windows and uh robbing and

02:04:51.900 looting places and punching people in the face but when you talk about it like they're they're

02:05:00.180 a group that pays attention and deals with first amendment issues well then of course you'd go

02:05:09.560 well what do we need that for that's a right why would we need police to deal with that

02:05:16.100 you get it it's perverting the language it's twisting it's so orwellian that orwell would say

02:05:24.680 bs that's not happening look i wrote a book it was awesome but you know it's supposed to be

02:05:31.480 somewhat a fantasy kind of dystopian sci-fi thing you're not telling me that's really happening

02:05:40.540 yes it is a little new speak for you all right let's listen to the rest this need to be dual

02:05:48.040 purposes i believe that we should have a focus on counterterrorism that is separate from our

02:05:52.440 response to the use of first amendment continues to be a conversation i'm having with our police

02:05:56.760 commissioner i have made that promise i will fulfill that promise the only question is the

02:06:01.480 timeline of it and when we fulfill that promise then those purposes will be split i guess with

02:06:06.420 the timeline though we're we're almost 10 months into your into mayoralty at this point what what

02:06:11.480 is the holdup why is it not possible to get a timeline this is something that we will be not

02:06:17.060 only continuing to discuss but will be implementing it'll be not an inshallah timeline but an actual

02:06:22.460 one and and the critical point of it is just how to ensure we're doing so while protecting new yorkers

02:06:29.280 rights and keeping new yorkers safe and that's something that we're going to share more information

02:06:33.080 about soon great keeping new yorkers safe let's disband a an nypd squad a team that prevents

02:06:45.820 people that say they're demonstrating from doing things that make people unsafe that's safe safe

02:06:55.240 is unsafe war is peace that friggin orwell guy man he must have been a time traveler he must

02:07:05.600 have taken a little peek look gander at our time and gone oh this is good stuff they say things

02:07:14.380 and it's quite literally the opposite of what it means oh i'm gonna write this book i'm gonna go

02:07:22.940 back to my own time and write it people are gonna go this is nuts oh i'm sure happy this

02:07:29.780 isn't really happening and then he kind of goes well let me fill you in on something

02:07:36.700 oh unbelievable sal sal in new jersey what's up sal hello anthony anthony there's one word 0.53

02:07:48.180 that that i feel that is really destroying our country and that's guilt guilty for being white

02:07:53.680 europeans guilty for being a great western western culture civilization yes guilt for being a wealthy

02:08:03.260 successful country, people have been brainwashed over the past 60 years for being guilty of

02:08:09.380 all these great things.

02:08:10.600 They feel sorry.

02:08:12.100 They've been brainwashed. 1.00

02:08:13.160 Oh, we did this and that to the American Indians. 0.99

02:08:16.300 We stole land from them, which we didn't.

02:08:18.060 The white man, if you look up in history books, if you look deeply, you read past all these 0.88

02:08:23.660 politically correct history books, the white man did not steal land from the Indians. 0.96

02:08:30.360 no and and another thing the okay it's true that the white man might have enslaved the blacks

02:08:38.400 many many years ago but the white man eventually freed the blacks right fighting against the south

02:08:44.340 right it was an industry that was uh had gone on for since the beginning of time since the

02:08:53.840 beginning of mankind someone had enslaved someone else look it's a terrible thing it went on uh long

02:09:03.300 before white people started doing it and it continues to go on long after white people stopped

02:09:10.260 uh slavery in uh western civilized western cultures but for some reason that sticky wicket 0.93

02:09:18.160 to get through is, oh, white people, they're the ones that invented slavery, they perpetuated 0.93

02:09:26.360 it, especially in America. 0.99

02:09:29.600 The amount of time that the United States had slavery is unbelievably short compared

02:09:38.780 to slavery in the rest of the world.

02:09:41.480 Like I said, there are nations around the globe that still practice slavery, brutality, and no one seems to care about that or want to stop that. 0.60

02:09:55.000 But millions of white lives, or at least many hundreds of thousands of white lives, were snuffed out during a war to end slavery. 0.79

02:10:07.520 At least that was part of what civil war was about. 0.65

02:10:10.380 And Anthony, bear in mind, the Muslims in black Africa were the ones that enslaved the blacks, and they're the ones that sold them to the white slave traders. 0.98

02:10:23.320 Still do. They still do. 1.00

02:10:25.580 If anybody for a second thought that Europeans could take a boat to sub-Saharan Africa, 1.00

02:10:34.000 jump off, run into the jungle, and capture people who have lived there their entire lives,

02:10:41.980 generations hunted, built their own societies in these countries, 0.74

02:10:49.660 And somehow white people were able to circumnavigate these jungles and overpower these people. 0.80

02:10:58.320 These people were enslaved by other tribes that had taken them prisoner after war. 0.56

02:11:04.400 And this is not just Africa or black people. 0.94

02:11:08.000 This was par for the course for how the world ran.

02:11:13.420 When you were conquered as a nation by some other nation or people, sometimes slavery was part of your conquering.

02:11:25.220 And every race of people went through that at some point in world history.

02:11:31.600 It's a terrible thing that happened.

02:11:34.320 And Western society were the people that stepped up and said, we need to stop this.

02:11:42.920 this isn't right and anthony anthony i'm a i'm a battalion heritage well my parents come from

02:11:49.920 italy my pet my heritage my ancestry is roman of course because the romans were the ancestors

02:15:09.580 And in this case, how do you hold someone responsible for something they said when they were a young teen and use it to affect their occupation, their career, when they are now a grown man?

02:15:51.380 and were first spotted by KGW reporter Devon Haskins.

02:16:00.840 How's that career going, Devon?

02:16:02.840 Are you proud of yourself?

02:16:04.520 Are you happy you screwed someone over for what they dreamt,

02:16:09.620 for what their dream was as far as a gig?

02:16:13.260 The team replied several hours later saying they had fired Bell. 0.86

02:16:18.280 uh here were bell's posts when he was a young teenager just talking crap on uh on twitter at

02:16:33.060 the time brayden bell says uh this is from 12 9 2012 i'm not racist at all but not gonna lie 0.86

02:16:41.160 Asian people piss me off. 0.90

02:16:43.180 Ha, ha, ha, hashtag honest. 1.00

02:16:45.940 All right, look, not even a funny joke, but it is what it is.

02:16:51.500 It could almost be sarcasm, but he said it, but he's a teenager. 0.99

02:17:00.080 You say dumb things as a teen. 0.96

02:17:04.860 Here's another one from November of 2012. 0.99

02:17:07.300 Got to give a shout-out to all the big gals out there and the closet whoas, Bell wrote. 1.00

02:17:17.440 Another one. 0.98

02:17:19.220 We got a SLUT alert on aisle 10, he wrote. 0.58

02:17:26.720 This is a kid.

02:17:28.480 Obviously, this is a kid.

02:17:31.280 They're not funny.

02:17:33.040 He's not being funny.

02:17:34.380 It's not creative.

02:17:35.420 It's not clever.

02:17:36.060 It's making jokes about girls in a sexual context, making Asian or racial comments or jokes on Twitter.

02:17:48.760 This is what kids do.

02:17:50.440 It's what they do.

02:17:52.400 It's no reflection on the man you become and the career that you pursued.

02:18:00.120 This is terrible.

02:18:02.060 I feel so bad for this guy.

02:18:06.060 And then we have the Trailblazers comment.

02:18:11.800 The Portland Trailblazers have zero tolerance for racist, sexist, or harmful comments.

02:18:18.300 Social media posts made by our recently announced play-by-play broadcaster are in clear violation of team and league policies, as well as our values and expectations.

02:18:31.480 He was 14 years old.

02:18:34.480 holy mother of god

02:18:37.440 ah the play-by-play uh role carries a long legacy of excellence on the broadcast

02:18:47.100 and and in character and we hold that standard without exception even if a 14 year old is making

02:18:55.500 funny jokes did he make any poopy jokes too that you're upset with

02:19:00.940 my god we hold that standard without exception we did not meet our own bar in the process

02:19:10.940 and for that we apologize to the blazers fans and to rip city we believe strongly that everyone who

02:19:20.060 is part of rip city should feel welcome and safe and we will make sure that our new broadcaster

02:19:26.760 reflects these values we will do better holy mother of pearl can you believe this a 14 year

02:19:35.140 old kid with twitter mouthing off like a kid would i'd be suspect if he didn't say that stuff

02:19:44.360 at 14 unbelievable we'll have his apology which i never think anyone should do in a case like this

02:19:53.380 when we return in Moments.

02:19:57.780 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:20:03.280 The Anthony Cumia Show, and talking about Braden Bell,

02:20:08.200 fired from his announcing gig with the Portland Trailblazers

02:20:12.100 for tweets he made 14 years ago.

02:20:16.760 He was 15 years old 14 years ago.

02:20:20.660 And the people over there at the Portland Trailblazers thought it was prudent of them to fire him for saying stuff on social media at 15 that is exactly what a 15-year-old boy would say. 0.60

02:20:42.280 Making sex jokes about girls, race jokes about whatever, Asian, black people, whatever, whatever. 0.93

02:20:57.540 That is what teens do. 0.97

02:21:00.600 and especially at the beginning of Twitter and other social media

02:21:07.560 before anyone knew that this was going to be a trap

02:21:12.840 that will stick with you

02:21:15.680 an anchor around your neck for your entire life

02:21:18.880 no one knew that

02:21:20.920 no one knew that

02:21:23.120 14 years ago as a 15 year old kid

02:21:26.920 would you have thought 0.95

02:21:28.080 Oh, if I post some goofy thing about a fat girl and sex, that that's going to follow me and get me fired from a job when I'm in my 30s? 1.00

02:21:43.400 29, but whatever. 0.97

02:21:47.540 So Brayden Bell apologized.

02:21:50.340 And again, look, I'm all for a good, heartfelt apology when you're actually wrong.

02:21:59.480 It's the right thing to do.

02:22:01.840 But I barely ever see a circumstance, especially in situations like this, where it merits an apology.

02:22:12.360 This is a hit job.

02:22:14.180 this is something that people do to screw over someone that's more successful than them

02:22:22.700 this is something people do to make uh their bones to get clout oh i found a tweet from this guy 0.77

02:22:30.800 let me expose him as a racist or sexist or homophobe he was 15 oh we don't care 0.55

02:22:40.000 that's what's going on 0.99

02:22:42.540 this is madness

02:22:43.940 so unfortunately

02:22:46.440 Braden Bell went through the humiliation

02:22:48.900 ritual of the

02:22:50.720 apology

02:22:51.260 and we've seen this over the years

02:22:53.780 Don Imus, I loved

02:22:56.540 Imus

02:22:57.300 I did gigs with him

02:23:00.440 he used to talk about Opie and Anthony

02:23:02.860 my boys

02:23:03.880 there are my boys, O and A

02:23:06.760 how you doing

02:23:07.960 Opie and Anthony

02:23:09.500 here on the Don Imus, Imus in the Morning program.

02:23:14.700 And when he said, 1.00

02:23:19.900 that was it. 1.00

02:23:21.840 Fired.

02:23:24.160 Pandemonium.

02:23:25.020 Everyone lost their mind.

02:23:27.160 And what did Imus do?

02:23:29.640 He went right along with the humiliation ritual.

02:23:34.000 Met with Reverend Al Sharpton.

02:23:36.800 uh revernell i i'm sorry i'm sorry i said that i i apologize for saying that if you bend over i'll 0.99

02:23:46.860 kiss your uh black ass uh revernell oh baby 10 after the hour how's your donkey kong moby worm 0.99

02:23:55.900 coming to get you classic uh don imus but uh yeah so he apologizes and uh yeah i am deeply sorry 0.99

02:24:08.160 i love how you can be sorry or deeply sorry for the language that i used on twitter these tweets

02:24:15.080 while wrong were written by me 14 years ago while i was 15 years old how dare he make an excuse

02:24:21.140 and have no reflection on who I am today.

02:24:24.880 I do not take lightly any harm it caused now.

02:24:28.140 I regret this being my first impression to many of you online,

02:24:33.420 but I can take solace in knowing that the people who truly know me

02:24:39.780 understand that this is not the kind of person I am.

02:24:44.760 Again, I'd like to apologize to anyone who was hurt by my words. 1.00

02:24:51.140 and will continue to always treat people with kindness and respect, even the fat whores. 1.00

02:24:59.740 He didn't write that part. 1.00

02:25:00.980 I threw that in.

02:25:02.060 Brayden Bell.

02:25:04.240 What'd that get you, Brayden?

02:25:06.120 You're fired.

02:25:07.720 You're fired.

02:25:09.360 I knew.

02:25:10.740 Every time I got fired in broadcasting, I saw it coming.

02:25:15.940 Holy moly.

02:25:18.500 What are you doing, people?

02:25:19.980 don't apologize he never should have apologized what did he do wrong he was a 15 year old kid

02:25:26.140 using twitter the way 15 year old kids use twitter and for him to be held accountable to that extent

02:25:33.460 you know he might have been able to go yeah geez oof that was a little harsh even for a 15 year

02:25:38.640 old which by the way it isn't but to fire him at 29 years old from a dream job uh no ain't buying
