00:02:37.480 and i have been uh party to entire summers blown out by crap weather oh it's a bummer

00:02:45.640 but uh i i certainly hope that's not happening in your neck of the woods in your nape of the neck

00:02:52.200 uh labor day i really was kind of trying to figure out what it was all about

00:02:59.080 you know celebrates the working american all right uh how did that get started everyone's

00:03:06.580 got to work yeah you don't usually make an occasion uh out of something everyone does

00:03:12.460 everyone's got to do anyway but uh it started off as uh you know people that were working back in the

00:03:22.260 1800s it wasn't that good it was pretty crappy if you were working in a factory back then

00:03:32.360 or pretty much anywhere the boss uh had the bullwhip out and you were going to do whatever

00:03:39.720 he said you were going to work crazy hours you were going to get paid nothing and it was going

00:03:46.040 to be very dangerous very dangerous working conditions there are stories from uh the the

00:03:53.140 early america and early industrial age especially when brandy new machines started making their way

00:04:00.620 into the workplace giant wheels and gears without any safety on them at all some poor child of seven

00:04:10.760 reaching for something and there goes his arm it looks like an accordion if it was a cartoon in

00:04:16.560 real life it was probably quite disturbing but uh yeah so people said hey uh yeah we we we don't

00:04:23.720 want to do this we want to have better conditions make better pay and and whatnot so uh this started

00:04:31.080 uh in the decades after the civil war how about that people worked long days often 10 to 16 hours

00:04:38.320 child labor yeah dangerous factories working in mines you ever see those pictures online you could

00:04:45.860 see pictures they're kids and they're pulling them out of a coal mine on some rickety elevator

00:04:53.340 And it was just like, yeah, this is what they do.

00:04:57.020 Junior's off at the mine.

00:04:59.520 When you see kids bitching and complaining these days, oh, boy.

00:05:03.200 Show them that picture. 1.00

00:05:04.420 They won't do anything.

00:05:05.760 They'll just say, who's that?

00:05:06.700 It's not me.

00:05:07.340 I didn't even ask to be born.

00:05:09.900 Or something similar.

00:05:13.340 So the first celebration was September 5th in the year of our Lord, 1882.

00:05:20.060 It doesn't even seem like a real time anymore, doesn't it?

00:05:24.120 Anything that was black and white, that the photos were black and white,

00:05:28.220 I don't think it's real.

00:05:30.480 Yeah, that was the first recognized Labor Day.

00:05:33.360 It took place on Tuesday, the 5th of September, 1882, in New York City, of course,

00:05:41.240 where all the troublemakers start.

00:05:43.580 It was organized by the Central Labor Union,

00:05:45.840 and roughly 10,000 to 20,000 workers

00:05:49.680 protested, got together, celebrated.

00:05:54.380 Jewelers, cigar makers, printers, bricklayers,

00:05:59.660 shoemakers, and others.

00:06:02.040 Those were some gigs back then.

00:06:04.200 I'm a shoemaker and I'm working 16 hours a day

00:06:07.520 for 25 cents.

00:06:12.800 They took an unpaid day off.

00:06:15.340 Must have cost him a pretty penny.

00:06:18.660 Bricklayers, shoemakers, and others took an unpaid day off,

00:06:22.540 marched from City Hall up Broadway past reviewing stands at Union Square,

00:06:26.700 and toward Reservoir Park, which is now Bryant Park.

00:06:30.380 The parade was followed by a picnic, speeches, music, and dancing at Elms Park.

00:06:36.640 Banners called for an eight-hour workday. 0.84

00:06:39.060 Why didn't they go for five, you dummies? 0.75

00:06:42.340 Why'd they go for eight?

00:06:43.320 no one likes working a full eight-hour day but they'll oh you want eight all right we'll give

00:06:48.460 you eight you should have said five settle for six higher pay they wanted and an end to convict

00:06:56.320 labor i guess that was putting a damper on what people could make when they went into work well

00:07:03.520 we could pay you five cents a day oh we'll just take this convict for a penny uh it was not yet

00:07:12.180 a holiday back then participants risked losing their jobs the event was successful though

00:07:18.080 enough that organizers repeated it the following year and in 1884 they fixed the date

00:07:24.000 um as the holiday in new york the first monday in september there you go that is uh the birth of of

00:07:33.220 labor day working thing it kind of took on a kind of a commie thing i don't know why

00:07:40.860 workers you know saying the workers it takes on this air of commie you know obviously i think

00:07:48.200 anybody who's ever worked for a living wants to work in good conditions they want good pay

00:07:53.660 the basics that a human being should have when they go to work every day but then you know you 0.85

00:08:03.760 start hearing this uh this little bird in your ear and it sounds a lot like a commie that's what

00:08:11.500 happened in in hollywood you know the uh all of the blackballing of alleged uh communists

00:08:21.120 walt disney walt disney went in and testified during those mccarthy hearings and whatnot he's

00:08:27.560 like yeah hollywood's full of commies and it started through the unions you know the unions

00:08:32.320 would go and they'd send their reps and they're talking about equality and the workers has

00:08:39.520 power and we should be paid fairly, which all sounds good.

00:08:43.960 But then it was a little of that commie stuff slipping in there. 0.95

00:08:48.180 So Labor Day kind of has this maybe dark cloud over it as kind of a commie, May Day 0.65

00:08:55.560 kind of a thing.

00:08:56.660 But I'm not going to think of it like that.

00:09:00.120 I think of it as celebrating the American worker.

00:09:03.560 You know, the half people, the half of the population of this country 0.77

00:09:07.080 that have to pay for the other half,

00:09:09.560 the people that actually work and pay taxes

00:09:12.120 so they could give over what amounts to days, days in a week,

00:09:19.200 where that money that they make during those two or three days

00:09:22.700 gets taken out of their pocket

00:09:25.260 and given to people that don't want to work.

00:09:27.780 Isn't that great?

00:09:28.260 So have a nice Labor Day.

00:09:30.620 I don't want to bum anyone out.

00:09:32.940 But, geez, more people should be laboring.

00:09:38.620 And another thing that kind of went away, it's a little sad because I remember it well growing up,

00:09:45.740 the old Jerry Lewis telethon.

00:09:48.360 Do you know that hasn't been on since 2014?

00:09:52.620 It's been like a dozen years, 12 years.

00:09:55.700 there has not been a muscular dystrophy telethon,

00:09:59.020 and Jerry left it in 2010.

00:10:03.320 So you're talking, what, 20 years, 25 years?

00:10:08.140 No, 15, 20, carry the six.

00:10:11.540 He hasn't been there since 2010.

00:10:14.480 And no one's really seen him lately.

00:10:16.220 I don't know where he's been hiding.

00:10:18.140 He hosted the telethon for 45 years

00:10:21.580 and raised, what was it, $2.45 billion.

00:10:26.540 And it really was kind of proof that we did not have anything to do.

00:10:34.020 We didn't have anything to do.

00:10:37.580 So we sat in front of that television and watched a terrible program.

00:10:45.520 The show was awful.

00:10:48.440 Who did they get?

00:10:49.100 Let me see.

00:10:49.460 Frank Sinatra was big.

00:10:51.580 Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Orlando.

00:10:54.240 That's like your trifecta of telethon entertainers.

00:10:58.220 Then there was Johnny Carson.

00:11:00.980 Charo was big.

00:11:02.300 Remember Hoochie Coochie Charo? 1.00

00:11:05.320 She was big on that one. 1.00

00:11:06.420 Hey, we got Charo coming on here.

00:11:08.820 Bob Hope.

00:11:09.980 Don Rickles.

00:11:12.360 Everyone performed the Jackson 5, Ray Charles.

00:11:15.400 John Lennon.

00:11:16.680 I hope he didn't go on with Yoko.

00:11:17.880 the kids have suffered enough for god's sake they're stuck in that chair they can't run

00:11:23.500 from the wailings of a yoko ono and then jerry of course at the end would uh get up and sing

00:11:33.280 you'll never walk alone again and he'd start crying

00:11:40.800 oh that was always funny as a kid you know you uh you can't watch a grown man crying without

00:11:50.200 making fun of it and then your mom and your aunt you know because you kind of went over other

00:11:55.040 family members houses back then and i remember my aunt and my mom getting mad at me and my brother

00:12:00.880 for laughing at weeping jerry lewis you'll never work knock it off it's a sin it's a sin to make

00:12:09.900 fun of that man when he's doing such good things for the kids for his kids all right lighten up

00:12:16.420 mom it's a grown man crying at least i didn't use the f word for grown men crying three letters

00:12:22.660 ends with a g a lot of kids used it back then especially when they saw a man crying

00:15:40.540 number store today because we have your number speaking of them is the brakes oh my god a plane

00:15:48.680 crash in miami uh this is pretty terrible um amazon an amazon cargo plane i don't know why

00:15:58.420 this is really not nice and it's not a good thing because there are people involved here i believe

00:16:05.560 five people perished and there are injured and whatnot but don't you think like oh good it was

00:16:11.800 a cargo plane don't you just you instantly think like oh oh it's not a passenger plane i don't

00:16:18.760 think it matters to the the the pilot and co-pilot or any of people that were in cars because

00:16:24.940 apparently this uh jet ran off the end of the runway and uh and crashed into a road

00:16:32.700 crossed that and burst into flames,

00:16:36.420 but not the crazy burst into flames like exploded and burnt the whole thing out.

00:16:40.540 The fire crews got there fast enough to stop any further damage from explosion or anything.

00:16:49.480 This was a 767, a relatively large jet,

00:16:54.500 and it looked from the video like it could not get on the ground fast enough.

00:17:03.100 It was coming in very quickly, and it kind of floated there over the runway at high speed.

00:17:13.140 I think it was over a 9,000-foot runway, and it took up 5,000 feet before it touched down.

00:17:21.620 When it did touch down in the middle of the runway, and again, that's a big plane,

00:17:27.640 the left landing gear did not touch the ground.

00:17:31.880 It kind of was tilted, and the wheel was up.

00:17:35.920 And when that happens, the pilot can't engage the reverse thrusters.

00:17:41.840 You know, you haven't been on a plane, and it lands, and you hear,

00:17:44.160 the engine goes full blast again.

00:17:47.300 If you're sitting by the wing, you could see the back of the engine opens up.

00:17:51.180 those are your reverse thrusters and that's where you feel the plane really slow down very quickly

00:17:56.540 if the landing gear are not on the runway because they don't want you

00:18:00.320 hitting reverse thrust while you're still up in the air that would be a little tragic

00:18:04.440 um so it wouldn't allow them i guess i'm all speculating here with my knowledge as an airline

00:18:10.820 pilot i'm not really an airline pilot but i'm pretty good at microsoft flight simulator so

00:18:17.940 it's just as good trust me so i i think with the gear not on the ground they couldn't uh engage

00:18:24.740 the reverse thrusters and taking up so much of the runway coming in fast uh the plane wants to fly

00:18:32.260 if a plane is going fast enough over a runway you get something also called ground effect

00:18:39.140 the air between the runway and the bottom of the wing uh makes it very difficult to put that plane

00:18:46.100 on the ground uh so that's what it looks like to me i'm going to contact the ntsb and give them my

00:18:54.960 personal take on what happened they could just close the case right there i'm thinking but here's

00:19:00.980 uh the latest uh news update on the crash of an amazon cargo plane at miami airport

00:19:08.060 ac6 would be the clip today is an incredibly difficult day for all of us here

00:19:16.700 in miami-dade county earlier today we know that the prime air flight 7598 overran the runway and

00:19:25.740 now we know that five people lost their lives and five others were injured my heart is with all of

00:19:32.780 the families who were affected that's terrible yeah air uh air travel has gotten really safe

00:19:42.160 i mean really safe over the course of the years uh technology has been amazing the

00:19:48.700 autonomy planes uh they don't fly themselves you tell a pilot that and he punches you in the face

00:19:56.900 they don't fly themselves but there is a lot of automation in planes these days

00:20:01.620 that make sure that that plane is not in danger, that the equipment is working.

00:20:07.780 So, you know, this shouldn't scare people out of flying.

00:20:12.720 The weak link in air travel these days, and I mean every facet of it,

00:20:19.180 not just safety, not just the mechanics of the plane,

00:20:22.960 not just the competency of the pilots, the entire system is a result of DEI.

00:20:30.860 It's the only thing, the only weak link that has happened to the airline industry over the course of the past decade or so.

00:20:43.460 They would rather have people in the aviation airline business that check off a box or two racially, sexually, my gender.

00:20:58.820 and religious, whatever it is, check off a box

00:21:04.040 and we'll kind of push aside that whole competency thing.

00:21:13.760 And there are a few industries that you do not want that to happen in.

00:21:19.460 And the airline industry is right up there.

00:21:22.800 I think that brain surgery, cardiology, that's up there.

00:21:31.440 Barista at a Starbucks, way down.

00:21:34.560 I don't care. 1.00

00:21:35.560 You want to check off any of your racial or gender boxes in a Starbucks 1.00

00:21:42.600 to put some idiot behind the counter 1.00

00:21:45.820 that probably won't be able to spell your name on the cup, that's fine. 1.00

00:21:51.800 I do not have a problem with that.

00:21:53.400 When I walk into a lot of these stores like a Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts, whatever it is, 1.00

00:21:59.080 I expect to be greeted by an imbecile. 1.00

00:22:05.460 It does not bother me. 1.00

00:22:08.180 Now, when you go into the plane, you go through the jetway and you go into that plane

00:22:14.540 and everyone gives the look, you've got to give the look over that left shoulder.

00:22:20.420 Let me see who's driving this thing.

00:22:24.680 Don't tell me you don't do it.

00:22:27.220 You want to see Chuck effing Yeager sitting in that seat, don't you?

00:22:33.440 You want to see Maverick from Top Gun sitting in that captain's chair, don't you?

00:22:40.840 And even the first officer.

00:22:42.600 I want to see a young man fresh out of the Marines or the Air Force, a naval aviator. 1.00

00:22:53.780 And then you could go to your seat with a smile on your face and order a beverage from your gay male flight attendant. 0.97

00:23:02.520 But look, as long as the pilots are okay. 1.00

00:23:06.720 What happened to the sexy stews of old?

00:23:10.380 coffee tea or me remember that one god the airline industry has changed over the course of the years

00:23:20.940 but safety is is paramount that's what i'm talking about and uh while we have no information as to

00:23:28.620 who the crew was on this flight or anything um the fact that they came in hot and touched down

00:23:37.500 halfway down the runway, did not do a go-around

00:23:42.340 and tried to keep that plane on the ground until they ran off the end.

00:23:48.560 That sounds, and again, speculation, but I'm not the news here.

00:23:52.460 I'm a wacky former shock jock.

00:23:55.900 I think mechanical error doesn't seem to be what this is.

00:24:01.980 That's all I'm saying.

00:24:03.360 That's all I'm going to speculate as far as that goes.

00:24:07.500 But it's terrible, and it happens, and prayers, thoughts and prayers to the family.

00:24:16.040 It is a terrible thing.

00:24:17.420 You never like hearing these things before you fly, too.

00:24:20.580 Whenever you're getting on a plane like tomorrow, you're like, oh, jeez.

00:24:24.200 Although then you think, well, maybe the odds are two going down.

00:24:28.440 So it's a coin toss, isn't it, kids?

00:24:30.500 I don't know.

00:24:31.040 Look, we'll be back in moments.

00:24:33.900 Plenty more to talk about your calls.

00:24:36.100 The phones are all lit up, and we'll get to them next.

00:24:38.920 It's the Anthony Coombe, your show.

00:24:41.800 How you doing this Labor Day weekend Sunday?

00:24:44.780 Hope all is well.

00:24:46.840 Let's go to, of course, Joaquin over there in Pennsylvania.

00:24:52.520 What's up, man?

00:24:53.980 You got me laughing so hard right now.

00:24:56.460 Thank you, buddy.

00:24:57.740 I'm about to get myself into serious trouble.

00:25:01.020 You know who the most capable person on this planet is?

00:25:04.260 Who's that? 1.00

00:25:06.100 It's a white Judeo-Christian Western civilization, man. 1.00

00:25:11.060 I'm sorry.

00:25:12.340 Yeah, that's a controversial statement to make there, Joaquin.

00:25:16.260 It is, isn't it?

00:25:17.480 You're punching down.

00:25:19.660 You're trying to raise the bar up above people's heads that just can't quite get over it.

00:25:26.300 I know.

00:25:27.700 I'm so sorry, but I just can't help it.

00:25:30.180 And I can't stop laughing at the moment after what you just were going through. 1.00

00:25:34.880 I don't want to see some chick in that fucking... 0.99

00:25:37.380 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:25:37.800 Oh, easy on the language.

00:25:39.360 Whoa.

00:25:39.920 I hope they catch that up in the Big Apple, the big city of New York,

00:25:44.680 using potty mouth words there, Joaquin.

00:25:47.680 I know.

00:25:48.400 Oh, no.

00:25:48.700 I'm now on the same page with my friend Sandra,

00:25:51.200 and I hope that she's not going to be angry with me now.

00:25:54.440 I can't help it.

00:25:55.320 I mean, but, you know, you were talking about the video games,

00:26:01.280 the aerial video games.

00:26:02.600 Yeah.

00:26:02.960 I used to love aerial combat games, and my maneuver always was to go on my airplane when someone was on my tail

00:26:09.760 so that I would start falling backwards out of the air, and then I'd shoot them as they go over the top of me.

00:26:17.940 Well, do you think you could take the stick of a big 767 and put it down if need be? 0.73

00:26:27.240 You know what?

00:26:28.420 I tell you, I did fly an airplane once.

00:26:30.540 I did fly a Cessna.

00:26:31.220 Oh, you did, a Cessna.

00:26:32.420 Yeah, you took one of those Discovery flights.

00:26:34.200 I did that back in the day.

00:26:35.200 No, no, I had a friend.

00:26:36.600 I had a nutcase friend who got his pilot's license.

00:26:40.220 Oh, jeez.

00:26:40.720 And he took me up flying, man, and eventually he became a Navy pilot.

00:26:45.280 Good man.

00:26:47.120 We get up in the air and he goes, hey, here it is.

00:26:49.200 It's all yours.

00:26:50.320 Yeah, it's pretty common for pilots to let their passenger just grab the yoke for a minute or two

00:26:57.320 until they get into the trouble that they will get into up there.

00:27:02.340 So, yeah, it's kind of fun.

00:27:03.660 I think every guy, it's so funny that guys,

00:27:06.000 especially if you've flown a plane like you talk about once

00:27:09.820 or you play video games and simulators these days look

00:27:14.160 and they act like aircraft and they go, oh, yeah, I could do that.

00:27:18.260 I could land that plane.

00:27:19.320 The fantasy that you have to land a plane

00:27:22.620 because the crew has become incapacitated, it's pretty funny.

00:27:27.320 Very complicated, yeah.

00:27:29.700 Joaquin, thank you, brother.

00:27:32.100 Yeah, everyone wants to be a hero.

00:29:19.820 Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour,

00:29:23.440 you might as well publish it.

00:29:25.560 Well, let's get into this Zoran Mamdani.

00:29:31.180 Zorhan.

00:29:32.520 I love the names, Moran Mamdani.

00:29:37.280 This guy, everything he does is calculated.

00:29:43.040 Look at his campaign.

00:29:45.360 Look at his campaign.

00:29:46.500 It was very, very calculated.

00:29:49.180 Everything, every video was meticulously put together, staged.

00:29:56.380 They had scripts.

00:29:58.600 Everyone that was in the video, the smiling and the young people in New York,

00:30:05.000 the young liberals of New York, they loved it.

00:30:09.160 Everything he does is calculated.

00:30:11.300 So why in the hell, after he signs these two executive orders commemorating 9-11,

00:30:21.060 pretty much giving the emergency responders some kudos and recognition

00:30:28.920 and saying that they'll have support in New York.

00:30:33.280 If there's an emergency, they'll get everything they need.

00:30:36.260 And it really, it's whatever EOs he signed had already been put in place

00:30:42.500 by the federal government and by the state of New York.

00:30:47.060 So it was kind of just a showpiece.

00:30:49.040 He wasn't really doing anything that would change anything.

00:30:53.380 But, you know, you ever see Trump sign bills and he takes the pen

00:30:58.600 and he gives it to the people that are around him that support the bill?

00:31:03.340 You see this all the time.

00:31:04.620 uh memdani decided to hand the pen to uh ramsey kasem kasem what the hell is this guy why do i

00:31:14.760 have to learn these names what happened to bob smith ramsey kasem kasem kasem

00:31:25.020 So he hands the pen, not even to this guy.

00:31:33.520 He gives it to NYPD Commissioner Tish to hand to this guy.

00:31:39.420 And she didn't look none too happy about that.

00:31:43.900 He goes, oh, he gives her the pen.

00:31:45.320 He goes, could you pass that?

00:31:46.880 Could you pass that to the terrorist to your left?

00:31:51.020 See the terrorist to your left?

00:31:52.540 Yeah, hand him the 9-11 pen.

00:31:55.020 I just signed this EO with. 0.99

00:31:58.920 And I don't give a crap what people say. 0.99

00:32:01.820 Oh, you're thinking too much into it. 0.99

00:32:04.440 He didn't realize or whatever it is.

00:32:08.080 No, he knows what he's doing.

00:32:10.340 He does not even want 9-11 to be recognized on 9-11.

00:32:17.520 That would be his ultimate goal.

00:32:20.300 But he knows that can't happen.

00:32:22.580 So he just wants to stick it in you a little bit and twist it

00:32:28.240 to let everyone know, especially his constituents,

00:32:34.120 that he's not a turncoat.

00:32:36.520 Don't worry.

00:32:37.600 I do these things just to stay in power

00:32:40.280 and to show everyone what a great guy I am.

00:32:43.800 But behind the scenes, don't worry. 0.99

00:32:45.720 When I go to the mosque and we shut those doors, 1.00

00:32:49.180 I'll be talking the same garbage all of you people 0.97

00:32:52.020 of talking isn't it great look at them they're still crying about it 25 years later because 0.99

00:32:59.940 that's the school of thought he's from don't mistake don't mistake that he's uh an american

00:33:06.940 that feels uh for the country when it gets uh beat up and bruised like it did 25 years ago

00:33:19.580 The fact that he's going to be in New York City on 9-11, I mean, even that,

00:33:28.640 and then going down to ground zero, what, giving a speech, commemorating, who knows?

00:33:37.440 Hopefully there's a bunch of people down there that boo him, turn their backs on him.

00:33:41.580 the families the cops the firemen don't give him a a second where he thinks

00:33:48.500 that we don't know that we don't see what he's all about this is despicable so he hands this pen

00:33:57.720 off take the pen he hands the pen off to uh kasem ramsey kasem let's look at what he's about

00:34:08.820 his legal career because sim's a lawyer who previously represented ahmed al darby a guantanamo

00:34:16.300 bay detainee and al-qaeda operative convicted by a u.s military commission for a 2002 maritime

00:34:23.680 terror plot he also has a terrorist tie i saw him wearing it it's a long thick tie and has pictures

00:34:32.520 of 9-11 on it no i'm kidding it's not a terrorist tie it's a tie to terrorists

00:34:38.780 now darby's sister was married to khalid al-midar these names one of the 9-11 hijackers aboard

00:34:50.100 american airlines flight 77 that struck the pentagon so he represents the guy who's a terrorist

00:34:56.960 and his sister is married.

00:35:02.400 And Kasimi was appointed as the top legal counsel

00:35:06.400 for Mayor Memdani.

00:35:09.200 The mayor of New York City

00:35:11.740 on the 25th anniversary of 9-11.

00:35:15.740 His top legal counsel

00:35:19.120 is this guy.

00:35:23.500 I mean, you know.

00:35:25.160 oh maybe i'm making too much of it maybe everyone's right i'm making a little too much of it

00:35:31.160 i don't think so i had to uh see the the smoke and the debris and smell it

00:35:40.100 every day for weeks weeks after 9-11 you could still smell it was like burnt electronics

00:35:49.460 and you know the smell where we've all passed by that bush that had a dead cat in it

00:35:59.020 no not that bush the bush on the side of your house that might have had a dead cat in it

00:36:04.540 i hate to laugh at such a somber moment but sometimes i say things uh you know the smell of

00:36:13.760 of death was in there with the smell of burning electronics and and building and

00:36:21.840 the dust that wound up killing so many first responders i know you know i i was doing radio

00:36:32.260 back then in midtown manhattan living in brooklyn so i drove past the trade center every day and it

00:36:39.160 was uh you know emotionally a terrible thing just terrible to see that i knew a lot of cops

00:36:48.980 and firemen and uh to this day they all have some type of physical ailment that can be

00:36:59.340 connected to 9-11 and going down to the pile

00:37:05.640 and clearing it out every day.

00:37:08.420 Those guys were dedicated to be down there every single day.

00:37:14.020 The little masks weren't going to do anything,

00:37:16.120 if they even wore masks, gloves.

00:37:20.120 A lot of these guys just went in there

00:37:21.880 and did what they felt they had to do.

00:37:25.580 and now years later it has affected so many of these emergency workers and uh you know it's one

00:37:35.580 thing i give john stewart credit for he's you know liberal john stewart daily show but he has been a

00:37:43.220 voice of uh first responders down at 9-11 soldiers over in uh iraq that were affected by a lot of the

00:37:52.860 chemicals and burn pits that were going on over there and uh a lot of times unfortunately this

00:37:59.960 government uh the politicians they just want to forget things like that oh yeah that was 25 years

00:38:07.920 ago yeah we just don't really think about that anymore well there are still people suffering

00:38:13.820 dying leaving families behind because of what happened on 9-11 and their commitment

00:38:21.260 to their jobs on that day and on weeks and months after that and they're uh being affected and i

00:38:30.080 don't think there's any sane uh person in this country that would deny them the attention and

00:38:39.040 medical care that they deserve for doing their job above and beyond is what they did larry

00:38:48.340 Staten Island, what's up, Larry? 0.99

00:38:50.420 Hey, how you doing, big ass? 0.99

00:38:52.020 How are you? 0.99

00:38:52.980 Pretty good, pretty good.

00:38:55.120 All right, listen, I want to discuss this issue with Daryl Mondani there.

00:39:01.080 He knew exactly what he was doing.

00:39:03.520 He was positioned at that table at the right place at the right time for him.

00:39:08.320 Now, if I was her, I would have just stood there and said nothing.

00:39:14.540 I would have said to him, he would have said, Commissioner, why didn't you pass the pen?

00:39:23.540 I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, Commissioner.

00:39:25.020 I have water in my ear canal for my morning shower.

00:39:28.060 I would have ignored him totally.

00:39:31.380 And I would have said, you know what?

00:39:33.220 If he wanted to pass the pen, he'd call the guy. 0.96

00:39:35.860 Hey, yabba-dabba-doo, here, here's a pen for you.

00:39:38.880 She knew. 0.96

00:39:40.120 She knew.

00:39:41.020 The look she gives.

00:39:42.400 It's on video.

00:39:43.120 You could look. 0.97

00:39:44.420 She is disgusted. 1.00

00:39:45.960 She's not happy with that.

00:39:47.880 And I think she wanted people to know that she wasn't happy.

00:39:50.840 She knew who the guy was.

00:39:52.660 Everyone knows who the guy is.

00:39:54.300 They're on the same staff.

00:39:57.500 So to make her do that is even worse than him just handing him the pen. 1.00

00:40:06.240 He's a piece of crap, Zoramem Dan. 0.99

00:40:08.200 Anthony, she is the commander of the New York City Police Department. 1.00

00:40:13.580 They lost 23 people that day, and they're losing thousands since 2001, every day.

00:40:23.100 Every day, man.

00:40:24.980 And this guy, I mean, he's 34 years old.

00:40:28.580 He's a kid.

00:40:29.900 Just look at the sum of what's going on with this guy.

00:40:32.620 There he is.

00:40:33.280 He comes out July 3rd, starting with the Legionnaire's disease.

00:40:37.520 Oh, we're turning the corner now.

00:43:22.640 And the one movie reference I thought of when he handed commissioner Tish that

00:43:27.740 pen was the scene in casino remember where pesci and de niro are sitting at the bar and there's a

00:43:35.480 guy uh next to pesci and de niro and he de niro asked him is this your pen and the guy looks and

00:43:43.500 goes get the f out of here what are you what are you talking about because i was just wanting to

00:43:47.140 know if you're the pen take that pen and stick it up and then pesci comes over he picks up the pen 0.98

00:43:53.340 and just starts stabbing the guy in the throat with the pen. 0.62

00:43:58.300 He's going, you hear that? 0.98

00:43:59.760 You hear that, Ace?

00:44:01.200 There's someone crying over there.

00:44:03.220 There's someone crying.

00:44:05.380 It was a brutal scene.

00:44:07.580 But all that was in my head watching that was Tish looking over and going, 1.00

00:44:12.040 huh, maybe she has a little Pesci in her. 1.00

00:44:15.640 And she can reenact that scene. 0.98

00:44:20.720 Just terrible.

00:44:21.620 And look, I don't know, going into 9-11 this week is going to be terrible.

00:44:29.760 You know, this is 25 years.

00:44:32.580 You know, you always get those, the 5-year, the 10-year.

00:44:35.660 I remember those vividly.

00:44:38.040 And then 20, 25, 25 is a big one.

00:44:42.660 And to think that here we are with a guy, a Muslim mayor named Zoram Abdani,

00:44:50.060 his head counsel

00:44:52.500 who I can't even pronounce his name

00:44:55.360 who represents terrorists

00:44:58.580 and you gotta just think how

00:45:02.120 how in the hell did this happen

00:45:05.540 how did we get here

00:45:07.580 25 years later

00:45:09.740 the never forget thing

00:45:12.280 you know yeah right

00:45:13.540 it was great

00:45:14.940 the fifth year remember that

00:45:16.520 the five year anniversary

00:45:17.420 never forget no we won't

00:45:19.460 ever and then whoops i guess we forgot i guess we forgot gary sinise has uh has come out and said

00:45:33.800 uh yeah people need to remember i'll get to that story after we take a uh a break but

00:45:40.180 there are some people gary sinise is just an awesome guy everything this guy does he's used

00:45:46.360 his celebrity and his wealth to make sure people remember the heroes of the past whether they be

00:45:54.320 veterans of wars that uh they fought for this country um people that have medical issues you

00:46:01.900 know gary sinise has been one of those hollywood guy and it's so rare that you see someone out of 0.94

00:46:08.600 that crap-filled, degenerate town of Hollywood that is good,

00:46:17.160 is a good person with good intentions and genuinely helps people. 0.98

00:46:23.440 So, yeah, we'll talk about Gary Sinise and what he's doing

00:46:27.820 to help people remember 9-11 and the people that gave it all, man,

00:46:34.160 gave it all that day, 25 years coming up.

00:46:36.660 So stick around. We will be right back.

00:46:39.500 It's the Anthony Cumia Show and talking about Gary Sinise.

00:46:43.680 And over the course of the years, he's used his celebrity and his money to do great things

00:46:51.220 and make sure Americans remember things like 9-11 and the heroes from World War II, Vietnam.

00:47:03.000 And he's just a good guy with a really good heart.

00:47:08.560 And here's the article.

00:47:09.740 It says, actor Gary Sinise amongst a growing number of advocates, educators, and organizers

00:47:14.060 working to ensure the history of September 11th doesn't fade

00:47:17.820 as a new generation grows up with no memory of the attacks.

00:47:22.280 That's the, boy, that's a tough one.

00:47:25.600 That's a tough one to swallow if you were there,

00:47:27.780 is to think there are people that have no idea what it is.

00:47:34.960 To them, it's like an old uncle or grandfather

00:47:39.220 talking about something that happened before you were born.

00:47:43.300 There's just no reality there.

00:47:45.040 There's nothing to feel.

00:47:48.160 You hear about it.

00:47:49.220 You could read people's accounts of it, but you weren't there.

00:47:53.360 And it seems not that long ago to the people that lived through it and experienced it.

00:48:01.980 But there are people, and they are well into adulthood, that have no clue.

00:48:08.180 So Sinise, his foundation provides free educational trips to Ground Zero, the Pentagon, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

00:48:16.700 And he's now part of a new documentary that will live on.

00:48:19.300 He says, it's not just about how America was attacked, but remembering how Americans answered.

00:48:25.620 Sinise is 71.

00:48:27.280 He says, we want to change the slogan, never forget, that was made by people who were there to witness the Trade Center tragedies,

00:48:35.300 to we remember the future generations who weren't there, which is, you know, we remember, never forget.

00:48:43.900 Huh.

00:48:44.900 They're two different things.

00:48:46.480 Do they mean the same thing?

00:48:49.300 And on a recent post where he invited those who lived through 9-11 tragedy to share their personal stories, the actor said the memories you share today can help future generations understand what 9-11 meant to our country and why we made a promise to never forget.

00:49:06.800 He also lends his voice to a documentary.

00:49:11.460 He's just one of those guys that are so involved in and he's a proud American.

00:49:19.020 The stars spent decades supporting military members, veterans, and their families

00:49:22.660 through the Gary Sinise Foundation.

00:49:26.620 And, yeah, this is a great thing, teaching the younger generation.

00:49:32.880 You know, it almost seems like a lost cause, this younger generation.

00:49:37.660 And now I just sound, you know, I should ball up my fist and shake it and go,

00:49:41.460 this younger generation.

00:49:44.580 But I guess it's kind of a natural thing, like I was saying before.

00:49:47.940 It's very hard to put something into someone's head when they weren't there.

00:49:54.140 They don't know about it.

00:49:54.860 It just doesn't have the same impact or importance that it has to someone who was there or not even there.

00:50:04.020 I don't mean there like you were at the Trade Center or the Pentagon.

00:50:08.200 but in the country feeling what Americans were feeling on 9-11

00:50:15.600 and just to see things like Zoran Mamdani

00:50:23.740 to see a lot of these Islamic Democrats, Socialists

00:50:29.020 coming out of the woodwork 1.00

00:50:30.500 they're like a Xerox copy of Zoran Mamdani

00:50:34.140 and they're doing the same kind of promotion for their campaigns

00:50:38.140 and that is the part of never forget that has an impact.

00:50:49.180 If people just forget, it doesn't really mean anything.

00:50:53.000 Well, I remember, oh, that person forgot, eh, what are you going to do?

00:50:55.820 But when it has an impact on our politics where we are electing people

00:51:04.520 that not only don't remember 9-11 or they do remember it but don't care it's not a part of

00:51:13.160 them it isn't a part of Zoran Mamdani's um upbringing he didn't grow up here in this

00:51:23.640 country living through that as an American and that means something and he will never see it

00:51:33.040 the way Americans see it and the way New Yorkers especially see it.

00:51:38.800 And the thought of him going down there on Friday

00:51:42.560 and having anything to do with paying tribute to the people

00:51:51.220 that gave their lives is sickening to me.

00:51:55.860 It's sickening. 0.99

00:51:57.540 Oh, and then I get called Islamophobic. 0.99

00:52:00.640 I'm a racist

00:52:03.260 I'm this, I'm that

00:52:04.800 Sorry, not really

00:52:07.360 Yeah, that's how I feel

00:52:10.080 I was part of this

00:52:13.900 I vividly, vividly remember

00:52:17.280 Not just don't forget or never forget or remember

00:52:21.420 I vividly remember it

00:52:23.920 And how terrible it was 1.00

00:52:26.540 And the idea of an Islamic New York mayor down there sharing that space

00:52:35.780 with people that were impacted by that tragedy,

00:52:40.800 their family members gone for 25 years, other family members sick and dying.

00:52:47.580 And I'm supposed to go like, well, he is the mayor. 0.99

00:52:52.760 Ugh, like that jackass Curtis Lewa. 0.99

00:52:55.600 Hey, he won. He's the mayor. He should be able to go to that. No. No, I don't agree with that. I don't think he has a right to stand down there on that site and say anything when families and friends and loved ones of those people that died 1.00

00:53:23.840 and are continuing to die are down there paying tribute.

00:53:29.700 No, I don't think he should be there.

00:53:32.420 He won.

00:53:34.320 What a tool.

00:53:37.160 Anyway, all right, look, we will be right back in moments.

00:53:42.720 Don't go anywhere.

01:01:36.680 from his own life

01:01:38.560 his own life experiences

01:01:40.780 he doesn't see it right in front of his face

01:01:43.540 that he's talking about

01:01:45.140 what Gino calls the American dream

01:01:46.920 so clip AC7

01:01:49.020 i don't have a ton of money in a bank account when i decided to run for office so i i had to

01:01:55.620 hustle and make ends meet which is the thing that you all are telling jenny so that's the

01:01:59.820 american dream you lived it that's not so you don't so you don't living the american no no it's

01:02:25.740 dummy you just described it the american dream isn't driving an uber and struggling

01:03:12.700 very happy to see gino uh making the rounds on a viral video like that and uh representative 0.65

01:03:21.080 maxwell frost not the uh only time he sounded like a moron on a video here he is clip is a ac2 0.91

01:03:29.660 talking about the homeless, and again, this just makes no sense. 1.00

01:03:34.760 It's, again, some idiot's idea of what and who the homeless are. 1.00

01:03:43.640 Listen to this. 1.00

01:03:48.460 AC2.

01:03:49.540 Right now, there's a growing effort in this country to treat homelessness

01:03:52.800 like a crime instead of what it is, a housing crisis.

01:03:57.400 Homelessness is a housing issue.

01:03:59.660 Since the Supreme Court's disastrous grants-pass decision, states and cities have been given even more room to criminalize people for sleeping outside.

01:04:08.160 And we are seeing politicians and right-wing organizations push laws that ticket people, arrest people, sweep encampments, and force people into detention-like facilities.

01:04:19.180 And it's not just right-wing organizations.

01:04:22.060 Yeah, people aren't being arrested for being homeless.

01:04:27.280 they're not being arrested for sleeping on the street it would be great if they were 0.98

01:04:34.120 because they're lunatic mental patients and when they occasionally wake up they do terrible things 0.59

01:04:41.800 to the people that want to live their lives so they're not being arrested they're being allowed 0.96

01:04:47.440 to roam around and cause unbelievable problems for whatever city they're in do you get that

01:04:55.640 They're not being arrested for being homeless.

01:04:58.040 They're not being arrested for being in an encampment.

01:05:01.220 There's rape, robbery, murder going on in some of these encampments.

01:05:08.580 So, again, just bull. 0.98

01:05:11.420 It's their lies, and you could almost say they're naive.

01:05:19.720 They're naive for not knowing that it's not like a movie,

01:05:22.760 and they just fell through the cracks or it's somebody that wants to work.

01:05:29.940 Oh, if I could only get a job and get back on my feet.

01:05:33.540 It's a lack of housing.

01:05:35.200 Do you honestly think the homeless are out on the streets, sleeping on the streets, committing crimes,

01:05:42.500 assaulting people because they don't have a roof over their head?

01:05:46.140 If only they had a house, they'd be the epitome of responsible citizen going off to work, kissing the wife and kids, patting the dog on the head, hopping in the car.

01:06:01.360 It's just for a lack of a house. 0.99

01:06:04.740 No, the lack of a house is because they're nuts. 1.00

01:06:10.320 They're crazy people. 0.98

01:08:25.480 A lot of people that they love the labor of other people because it supports them

01:08:30.660 with SNAP and EBT and through theft, whatever it is.

01:08:34.660 Some people just don't want to work.

01:08:37.340 Listen, the reason why I called is when you're talking about 9-11,

01:08:42.260 your phone guy, I worked in Tower One.

01:08:47.340 I was in the men's room that morning on the 45th floor facing north when the plane hit.

01:08:54.600 And every move I made that morning, if I was in the men's room,

01:09:00.960 when the plane hit, the building shook two and a half times.

01:09:07.160 And all of a sudden, smoke was coming into the bathroom,

01:09:09.860 and then there was a loud rumbling noise.

01:09:12.660 And I thought the service elevator, you know, snapped,

01:09:16.880 and it was coming down, but it was a jet fuel.

01:09:19.500 And when I opened up the men's room door, when I looked to my left,

01:09:22.800 it was just flames shooting

01:09:25.060 and all of a sudden the flames stopped

01:09:27.340 and to the

01:09:29.240 east

01:09:29.920 a guy opened up his office door and I could

01:09:33.000 see papers flying

01:09:35.100 and so I ran to the right

01:09:37.340 and my office is in the northwest

01:09:39.000 corner. If I go back

01:09:41.100 to my office, I'm not having this

01:09:43.020 conversation with you. When I opened

01:09:45.180 up the

01:09:45.820 stairwell door, there were already people going

01:09:49.120 down and it was answering when I tell

01:09:51.300 you one slow step at a time and like three minutes probably going down the steps the building shook

01:09:58.680 again and that was the plane hitting tower two i'll fast forward a little bit at the 15th floor

01:10:04.900 i saw the first fireman the look on his face anthony it was just brutal uh and right at that 0.87

01:10:12.620 point the pipes were bursting the shit sorry oh there's a there's an s where i wish we would get 0.96

01:10:20.300 to the point where we could just say those things 0.99

01:10:22.120 on radio. It's 2026.

01:10:24.360 When I got down,

01:10:26.760 there were two Port Authority cops

01:10:28.240 and all they were telling people was

01:10:30.060 run for your life.

01:10:32.040 And as I started my sprint,

01:10:35.000 I heard these

01:10:36.180 two loud missile sounds

01:10:38.340 coming down. And probably

01:10:40.280 20 yards to my left, all of a sudden

01:10:42.220 two poor souls

01:10:43.320 you know,

01:10:44.920 it's incredible.

01:10:48.020 But anyway,

01:10:48.500 But fast forward, during the pandemic, if you've been reading, a lot of these cancers hit 20 years later.

01:11:00.760 During the pandemic, when the motor vehicles was closed, I went to my eye doctor to get my driver's license in the mail.

01:11:09.580 And she goes, you got some weird stuff going on, freckles on your retina.

01:11:15.500 I've never seen this before.

01:11:17.560 I ended up going to Columbia Presbyterian.

01:11:20.720 These eye surgeons there are the hands of God.

01:11:25.040 Anyway, they put me through these tests,

01:11:27.400 and I walk into this room, and there are four doctors sitting there.

01:11:31.160 They go, Rich, how you doing?

01:11:32.340 I go, I don't think I'm doing too good.

01:11:34.880 And they told me, they go, you see this stuff here?

01:11:38.240 This is very rare.

01:11:40.320 And they asked, anything crazy happened to life?

01:11:42.820 And I go, well, crazy rock and roll.

01:11:44.980 And I go, yeah, September 11th.

01:11:47.020 And they go, uh-oh.

01:11:48.820 And I ended up having four eye surgeries in a period of, like, seven weeks.

01:11:56.660 And I ended up hooking up with a law firm and stuff.

01:12:00.520 But you brought up, you know, the first anniversary, the 510th.

01:12:05.900 I got to tell you, I'm sitting in the backyard here.

01:12:08.060 I got my bottle of Woodford reserve.

01:12:12.760 I'm on my third refill.

01:12:14.980 a cigar and i'm just you know what this week's going to be tough it's tough right right rich

01:12:21.580 it's it's got to be tough for people i mean i can't imagine for the people that were literally

01:12:27.220 in the building and then of course the medical problems afterwards like i said you know and you

01:12:33.340 probably know a load of people that are having medical issues this many years later i know

01:12:40.460 You know, a lot of the cops I know and firemen.

01:12:44.040 So, yeah, and it's kind of creeping up on me where last week I was thinking,

01:12:51.220 oh, wow, we're coming up on 9-11, 25 years.

01:12:54.940 But now it's getting more like I'm more pissed.

01:12:59.820 I'm more like, yeah, angry and sad about it.

01:13:04.420 I don't know.

01:13:05.280 This week is going to be a tough one.

01:13:07.340 You want to hear something even crazier?

01:13:09.940 Then 9-11?

01:13:12.100 Come on, Rich.

01:13:13.680 Listen, so in November, we relocated to 110.

01:13:20.000 And my office was viewing south.

01:13:23.740 I kept the blinds closed.

01:13:25.580 April 30th, 2002, I went down to Trinity to do the paperwork, you know, for our company to get money.

01:13:34.200 When I left there, I was on the corner.

01:13:36.200 If you remember on church, there was a Burger King on the corner.

01:13:39.940 And the cop said to me, you can't be here.

01:13:42.260 I go, listen, I was in.

01:13:43.400 He goes, I hear that all day long.

01:13:44.980 I went into my briefcase and I showed him.

01:13:47.820 I printed out my, you know, I always carried a printout of my story.

01:13:51.700 And he goes, come with me.

01:13:53.140 And he goes, you can stand here as long as you want.

01:13:55.720 I was there for about 20 minutes.

01:13:57.380 And Anthony, swear to God, something came over me, said things will be all right.

01:14:02.280 I then went over to Chamber Street, one of my favorite restaurants, Echo.

01:14:06.420 I had a couple of martinis, went back to the office.

01:14:09.940 and I told the girl secretary, I opened the blinds.

01:14:13.740 I go, something came over me. 0.99

01:14:15.820 It's going to be all right.

01:14:17.040 My wife called a half hour late, and she goes, I got bad news.

01:14:21.600 Your grandmother died this morning.

01:14:23.340 Jesus.

01:14:24.520 I go, when did she die?

01:14:26.160 She goes, around 1130.

01:14:27.740 Where was I, Anthony, at 1130?

01:14:29.860 Oh, you felt that, huh?

01:14:32.300 Dude, it's unbelievable.

01:14:34.780 Unbelievable.

01:14:35.160 You just don't know.

01:14:35.860 The great mystery of life there, Rich.

01:14:38.800 Who knows?

01:14:39.500 But listen, Anthony, I love your show.

01:14:42.400 I wish you were on longer.

01:14:44.760 Yeah, we'll see.

01:14:46.860 Love it, man.

01:14:47.580 Thank you so much, Rich.

01:14:48.860 Be well.

01:14:50.020 Get through this week.

01:14:51.040 It's a tough one.

01:14:52.140 Tough one for the people that were there.

01:14:55.360 I can't imagine that.

01:14:57.060 The videos still come out.

01:14:58.740 There was a stretch of time.

01:15:00.880 I could not watch a single video of 9-11.

01:15:06.320 I couldn't watch the planes hitting.

01:15:08.540 I got nothing.

01:15:09.500 it just was too much, and to this day, they're difficult to watch.

01:15:16.820 I can watch some of them.

01:15:18.100 I still can't watch the people jumping.

01:15:21.040 That is, there's a video of firemen reacting to the people jumping,

01:15:28.440 and you see they're looking up, and they're following something coming down,

01:15:34.400 And then you hear a loud bang, and the firemen just wince, a wince. 0.99

01:15:41.560 And you just can't imagine what those poor bastards saw that day. 0.99

01:15:48.940 Never mind what those people were going through, having to make that choice. 1.00

01:15:53.920 All right, I'll burn to death, or I'll throw myself out 110 stories. 0.99

01:15:59.020 It's insane. 0.98

01:16:01.080 That's what shouldn't be forgotten.

01:16:02.520 and F. Zoran Mamdani and his cabal of evil over there at Gracie Mansion. 0.98

01:16:13.680 So disgusting. 0.98

01:16:15.980 Oh, my God. 0.98

01:16:16.880 Sean Long Beach.

01:16:18.480 What's up, Sean?

01:16:21.200 Anthony, I'm glad you're talking about this today, you know?

01:16:26.080 Yeah, we got it.

01:16:26.860 on 9-11 on that night i went down there and i'm watching them tow out a a demolished fire truck

01:16:35.460 right and you see people coming down you can only go as far as canal street i see guys pulling up

01:16:41.540 and they must have been off to cops or firemen and stuff you can see the look on their face

01:16:45.820 and i you know they say the city doesn't go to sleep but i was out that night and i can tell

01:16:50.960 there was nobody out and this thing about america was let me because i have some good stories i got

01:16:57.480 a real good one but the thing is they say oh america was together on 9-11 but bs america

01:17:03.800 the young people in the audience america was in shock there might have been 10 people in the

01:17:08.740 country who weren't in shock i was wonderful okay there was people that really believe me when i

01:17:14.380 tell you that there's a lot of crazy people out there and i said some things after 9-11 that

01:17:19.420 people didn't like but it came true yeah i also like to say something too because two weeks after

01:17:25.160 9-11 i was alerted to something that was happening down at kennedy airport so i went out there and

01:17:31.620 you remember nobody wanted to fly everybody was afraid to fly everyone was afraid except the

01:17:37.300 international terminal where i went and they were coming in by the hundreds from afghanistan so i

01:17:44.080 asked a couple of people that were there and were working i said does anybody know who these people 0.99

01:17:49.040 are they go no we don't know who they are they're just flying them in so the invasion always

01:17:52.880 continues no matter what steve from manhattan i have to go but uh thank you for the call

01:19:07.180 new york um especially you know because i know new york more than other cities but maybe even

01:19:14.520 chicago some of these other places but new york in particular um and now you're probably going

01:19:22.040 anthony how the hell could the mafia help new york um well there are these uh things they're

01:19:31.160 called street takeovers you've probably seen a few you've probably heard about them this is where

01:19:37.920 rambunctious teens as they're called in the mainstream media teens they go a little wild

01:19:46.880 you know back in the old days what would they do they would see how many college students they

01:19:51.900 could fit in a phone booth crazy teens or uh yeah a volkswagen how many could you fit in a 0.65

01:19:59.300 volkswagen oh those crazy teens now they steal cars uh set one on fire and then do donuts around 0.94

01:20:10.500 the flaming car in a stolen car until they crash into people they'll fire guns fireworks uh there

01:20:18.600 are assaults robberies and no one seems to do anything about it the police get called by the

01:20:27.220 citizens that are in the area of these takeovers and they don't respond we've heard from uh the

01:20:33.480 people that live around these uh intersections where this happens and they go yeah we call

01:20:39.180 no one shows up uh let's listen to this story it's ac5 is the clip and then let's discuss the mafia

01:20:50.480 caught on camera clouds of thick smoke cars spinning in circles and tires screeching

01:21:02.080 all as people stand just feet away the noise just comes out of nowhere this was the scene

01:21:08.580 around two in the morning on august 22nd and like all the smoke i saw on everything oh yeah

01:21:13.620 the burnouts from the donuts they always do that too video from the chaotic scene shows a masked

01:21:18.960 individual climbing onto a building scaffolding just to film the madness people who live here say

01:21:27.400 this wasn't an isolated incident they say drag racing and reckless driving have become a regular

01:21:33.700 problem in this neighborhood how often would you say it actually like wakes you up out of your

01:21:38.120 sleep um i think like all the time because it's like really loud and they're like screaming too

01:21:45.280 They're like, yeah, yeah, so I can't really do anything to stop it, you know.

01:21:50.660 And residents tell me it's not just the noise.

01:21:53.880 Between 2 and 5 a.m., they come right there, right there in the corner, right there in the middle.

01:22:00.960 And they do circles for maybe 20 or 30 minutes.

01:22:06.900 And when the cops come, they usually go on the highway or make a left and flee the scene.

01:22:13.220 Neighbors worry it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.

01:22:19.560 Yeah, because it's dangerous and people can get killed.

01:22:21.660 Please help us, NYPD.

01:22:23.380 Cops tell me they did arrest one person in this incident, 19-year-old Jamar Gordon from Freeport, Long Island.

01:22:29.860 Jamar Gordon.

01:22:30.800 He's charged with reckless endangerment and having a dirty or covered license plate.

01:22:35.660 Oh, a dirty or covered license plate.

01:22:39.560 Wow, what is that, like 10 years in the big house?

01:22:44.220 Holy moly, nothing gets done.

01:22:47.460 Now, let me tell you, Sheepshead Bay, back in the day,

01:22:52.600 you'd have the Genovese family or the Lucchese family

01:22:59.760 in charge of that area of Brooklyn.

01:23:05.140 That would not have happened.

01:23:07.940 Could you possibly imagine if La Cosa Nostra was around like they used to be,

01:23:19.700 that happening in those neighborhoods without a couple of big goons coming out

01:23:25.060 with baseball bats and taking care of business in those streets?

01:23:32.260 it was

01:23:34.600 it was safer for

01:23:37.160 civilians. Look

01:23:39.000 occasionally someone got

01:23:41.280 hurt, alright? Someone

01:23:43.280 might have gotten hurt

01:23:44.820 but overall

01:23:47.160 the people that lived in the neighborhoods

01:23:49.300 like Gotti's neighborhood

01:23:51.160 they would have

01:23:52.900 the big 4th of July fireworks

01:23:55.520 display

01:23:56.300 and do you think

01:23:59.260 anyone effed around

01:24:01.140 in Gotti's neighborhood

01:24:03.220 or any of the neighborhoods

01:24:05.720 where the bosses lived

01:24:07.680 or anybody who had any...

01:24:55.460 Because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it.

01:24:59.580 notoriety let's say in uh in the life do you think anything like that was going on

01:25:08.160 i think it it i think it made a difference i think the fact that there aren't people

01:25:15.160 that are willing to smash other people's heads in if they screw around i think it just made it

01:25:22.880 easier for people to behave poorly i think it's like when you you have bugs let's say you have

01:25:30.120 bugs in your yard and you kill a certain bug that's annoying you but you didn't realize that

01:25:37.440 that bug was eating another bug that is 10 times worse 10 times more annoying and troublesome

01:25:47.160 little bugs that wear hoodies and uh those bugs it you have to think

01:25:57.100 that those neighborhoods and those territories not just where they lived but where they worked 1.00

01:26:04.960 where they operated they didn't want this type of crap going on a bunch of young idiots 1.00

01:26:12.760 smashing windows, driving cars around, doing donuts. 1.00

01:26:21.060 There's no, where's the business angle?

01:26:25.320 Where's the upside financially for a businessman

01:26:31.000 to make money by these teens driving in circles

01:26:35.880 and screwing up these neighborhoods?

01:26:40.320 Am I wrong?

01:26:42.760 I don't think so.

01:26:45.160 You know, on the outside, it looked very good.

01:26:48.120 Giuliani, he swooped in there.

01:26:50.740 I'm going to take care of the mafia.

01:26:53.020 There's going to be no under my watch as mayor.

01:26:56.040 Well, actually, it was as prosecutor. 0.81

01:26:58.580 I'll get rid of La Cosa Nostra. 1.00

01:27:01.120 Suffering suck at that. 0.91

01:27:03.720 I love Rudy, but, you know, it happened. 0.99

01:27:07.460 Oh, geez, what happened?

01:27:08.780 My remote session expired on the phones.

01:27:11.140 Someone wasn't watching.

01:27:12.760 zoics

01:27:14.500 anyway 0.99

01:27:16.760 yeah that's

01:27:18.020 you gotta

01:27:19.860 you gotta take these things

01:27:22.820 into consideration maybe

01:27:24.380 a big city these days

01:27:27.020 needs a few groups

01:27:28.880 of people that are willing to

01:27:30.860 take care of business

01:27:32.780 and make sure people are a little

01:27:35.000 better you know

01:27:36.580 behaved

01:27:37.540 than

01:27:39.200 than their being

01:27:43.000 I don't know.

01:27:43.820 What do you think?

01:27:45.600 800-848-9222 on my phones that aren't working right now.

01:27:50.080 Ah, I knew that was going to happen.

01:27:52.400 I need access to that button somehow, but I don't have it.

01:27:55.660 And then my phone connection expires.

01:28:00.300 What up?

01:28:03.340 What number?

01:28:04.560 Oh, line.

01:28:05.260 I don't know.

01:28:05.640 I can't see him anymore.

01:28:07.140 How about line three?

01:28:09.860 I don't know.

01:28:12.020 I don't have anything.

01:28:13.540 Steve, what's up?

01:28:16.220 Hey, is it Ant?

01:28:17.940 Yeah, what's up, buddy?

01:28:19.620 Oh, I've been lingering longer, man.

01:28:21.400 Thanks for taking my call.

01:28:23.680 Hey, I wanted you to settle a bet for me,

01:28:26.980 because I have a bet with a buddy of mine.

01:28:28.820 We've both been big fans for a while.

01:28:30.940 And back in March, we made a bet about the Iran war,

01:28:36.220 because he has all the faith in the world in Trump.

01:28:38.720 He thought we'd get in, out, gas would be down, chicks would be in bikinis, everything would be great.

01:28:45.100 And I said, no way, this is going to just drag on forever. 0.96

01:28:49.500 And so his bet was we'd be out of Iran by July 31st.

01:28:55.080 And he's trying to say that in June, when they signed the treaty, that signified the end of the war.

01:29:02.020 So I just want, can you be the arbitrator and say, who won the bet?

01:29:06.580 No.

01:29:08.720 we're still there aren't we that's what i'm saying it's like in the end if we had that

01:29:16.700 treaty it was like the w when he put the mission accomplished oh god i know look i don't like that 0.97

01:29:24.080 any more than anyone else does and i i don't like us having anything to do with this iranian 0.53

01:29:32.320 situation i really don't if if it was for their proliferation of nuclear weapons or their

01:29:40.060 attempted proliferation uh okay i could see that i could see it we we dropped some bunker busters

01:29:46.760 we smashed their ability to uh enrich uranium we smashed their centrifuges we smashed their

01:29:54.360 reactors that they're using whatever it is so they cannot make weapons do we have to go back

01:29:59.740 five years from now, ten years from now, and do it again?

01:30:02.420 Maybe, maybe, but they cannot make a weapon next week.

01:30:07.460 Let's say that.

01:30:08.800 Then we're done.

01:30:10.560 Then we're done.

01:30:11.420 We do those surgical strikes with other countries every so often.

01:30:14.880 Why are we still dealing with them?

01:30:19.360 And when he dropped the bombs last year,

01:30:22.380 and he did that whole operation, and I said, you know what?

01:30:27.440 God bless.

01:30:28.040 I think he actually thread the needle. 1.00

01:30:30.000 He attacked Iran. 1.00

01:30:32.020 That's what they always wanted, and he did it. 1.00

01:30:34.200 And then I thought, okay, now we made our presence known,

01:30:38.180 and maybe we're out.

01:30:39.560 And then they dragged us back in.

01:30:41.940 Yeah, I don't get this war.

01:30:44.880 I don't understand it.

01:30:46.400 You know, maybe it's me,

01:30:49.200 but I just want to know what the end game is

01:30:52.020 and what's happening next week, the week after.

01:30:58.040 Like, what are we waiting to happen?

01:31:00.920 All right, the Straits of Hormuz.

01:31:04.440 It was kind of open already, but I know we had to get rid of the nuke thing,

01:31:10.420 but now what?

01:31:12.180 Now we're going to be the police of the Straits of Hormuz forever?

01:31:16.100 Either get the job done or don't.

01:31:19.580 And they want us to, like, go in and, like, sweep up nuclear dust at this point?

01:31:23.760 Like, I don't even know what they're trying to go after.

01:31:26.180 I don't know either.

01:31:27.520 that's the problem i have i don't know and and if i don't know and i'm pretty you know i i look at

01:31:34.700 this stuff it's kind of my job and i don't know so i don't know man thanks steve i gotta uh i gotta

01:32:09.720 number for someone it's a um a holistic nurse who deals with um some of the people she deals with

01:32:17.060 are these people who are at ground zero

01:32:19.300 and have these poisons inside of their body.

01:32:21.920 Yeah, I don't know.

01:32:25.300 No, I can't give out medical stuff on the show.

01:32:28.800 I just can't do that.

01:32:29.940 No, no, no, no.

01:32:30.480 I'll give you the number off air,

01:32:32.240 and then you give it to the people who you come across.

01:32:35.220 Oh, give it to the screeners then.

01:32:37.140 Yeah, I don't.

01:32:38.020 Is that all right?

01:32:38.680 I don't, if you want.

01:32:40.500 Thank you, Max.

01:32:41.200 I don't know what that is.

01:32:43.480 Yeah, I know what he wants to do.

01:32:45.540 He just wants to give it to me, but I thought he was going to start, you know, hey, do this.

01:32:50.560 I can't do that.

01:32:51.500 I've gotten in trouble for less things on the air, trying to give out medical advice.

01:32:56.400 Talk to Joe Rogan.

01:32:58.960 He was accused of giving out medical advice for a while.

01:33:03.380 By the way, everything he said was true.

01:33:06.980 I don't know.

01:33:07.880 I don't know if it was.

01:33:08.640 But, boy, when you see people that are vaccinated and they're having these issues,

01:33:15.040 then I saw an ABC News thing, not our station, an ABC News thing today,

01:33:23.940 and it said, hey, with the summer ending, you've got to look out if COVID might be back. 0.78

01:33:31.040 And I'm just like, go freaking F yourselves with that.

01:33:36.360 They're still trying. 0.96

01:33:38.640 They're still going, yeah, put that old bait out there.

01:33:41.920 Put that old rotten bait on the hook 1.00

01:33:44.240 and see if you could grab a couple of more idiots with that. 1.00

01:33:50.280 I've so had it. 1.00

01:33:52.260 So had it with that stuff.

01:33:55.540 The CyberCabs debuted, I guess, this past week.

01:34:02.880 This episode is brought to you by Spreaker,

01:34:04.500 the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition

01:34:07.180 known as podcast brain. Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need, explaining RSS feeds

01:34:13.320 to confused relatives, and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.

01:34:18.820 If this sounds familiar, you're probably already a podcaster. The good news is Spreaker makes the

01:34:24.140 whole process simple. You record your show, upload it once, and Spreaker distributes it

01:34:28.660 everywhere people listen. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen apps your cousin

01:34:33.240 swears are the next big thing even better spreaker helps you monetize your show with ads

01:34:38.120 meaning your podcast might someday pay for well more microphones start your show today

01:34:44.120 at spreaker.com spreaker because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour you might as well

01:34:50.380 publish it and uh that's a little crazy it's uh so it's so futuristic that i'm not sure about it

01:35:00.420 And, again, it's something I have to know, and I'm interested in it.

01:35:04.060 I love science.

01:35:05.340 I love technology.

01:35:07.140 I love this whole push for autonomous vehicles

01:35:12.900 and things that kind of think and run for themselves.

01:35:17.200 And the cybercabs look amazing.

01:35:21.560 You look at it next to one of those Waymo vehicles

01:35:24.060 because they unleashed the cybercabs down there in Austin, Texas.

01:35:28.100 And Austin is one of these places that Waymo has been using their cyber taxi or whatever you want to call it.

01:35:37.040 And it looks like a Model T next to a Thunderbird.

01:35:46.280 It's just such a stark difference.

01:35:49.380 The Waymos have all these sensors and cameras and light.

01:35:54.180 You look at it and go, oh, yeah, that must be some kind of autonomous vehicle

01:35:58.560 that needs every bit of technology made, stuck to it, put on the hood,

01:36:06.820 the roof of the car, there's spinning things.

01:36:10.000 And then you see one of these cyber cabs.

01:36:12.720 They're amazing.

01:36:13.880 They look like little sports cars.

01:36:16.600 You can't even see sensors on these things.

01:36:20.380 And people have been taking them.

01:36:22.560 I've been watching a lot of videos from people that are driving around in these things.

01:36:27.540 And the biggest difference is no steering wheel, no pedals, no gear shift, no nothing.

01:36:34.340 You do nothing but sit in this thing, and it takes you somewhere.

01:36:39.980 There's no side view mirrors, no rear view mirror, because you don't need them.

01:36:45.280 The car knows what's behind it.

01:36:47.560 You don't need to know.

01:36:49.400 And that's kind of frightening.

01:36:52.560 maybe a little trip around the block on a road where there's no cars,

01:36:56.460 I'd be like, oh, this is interesting.

01:36:58.060 The second you get on a highway and this thing is changing lanes

01:37:02.460 and trying to get into the right lane to get to an exit,

01:37:06.780 I'm just thinking, you know when your significant other is driving

01:37:12.320 and you're pushing on that imaginary brake pedal

01:37:16.740 because they're getting to the light a little too fast,

01:37:19.400 or you lean over and go around a turn

01:37:23.000 because you don't have anything in front of you,

01:37:25.740 no steering wheel or brake or gas or anything.

01:37:28.760 I can only imagine I'd be doing that constantly

01:37:32.080 in one of these cyber cabs.

01:37:35.900 But they look pretty good.

01:37:37.900 It looks like they got it down.

01:37:40.060 I'm amazed they allow this to happen.

01:37:42.860 That's what really amazes me

01:37:44.360 is that they actually signed off on a car where no one is driving.

01:37:52.220 It's just no one.

01:37:54.700 Because growing up, this was always some kind of futuristic dream

01:38:00.360 that we were going to have these vehicles that just drive around.

01:38:05.180 You get in them, and they drive.

01:38:07.060 But all the old science fiction version of it

01:38:10.600 was that the roads themselves had to be these tracks.

01:38:15.180 Sort of like, remember playing with those race cars,

01:38:19.180 the electric race cars as a kid?

01:38:21.420 You press that little button and it would spin out

01:38:23.700 and fly off the track.

01:38:26.160 It had to be like that.

01:38:28.560 Because back in the olden days,

01:38:31.000 you couldn't fathom a car knowing that the road went this way

01:38:37.120 or what the lines meant.

01:38:38.640 or sometimes there's a shoulder on the road.

01:38:42.220 Sometimes there's not a stop sign or a stop light.

01:38:45.980 Like we couldn't imagine technology actually being put in place

01:38:51.120 that identifies all the different variables that happen when you drive.

01:38:57.340 Think of what you have to do when you're driving.

01:39:00.780 The job you have to do, looking around constantly,

01:39:04.600 your head's looking around.

01:39:06.660 You're always doing something.

01:39:07.960 You have to correct with the steering wheel constantly.

01:39:10.880 Your foot is going from the gas to the brake back to the gas

01:39:13.880 because something changed really quickly.

01:39:16.880 You couldn't dream of a machine doing this.

01:39:21.740 And it's doing it.

01:39:23.620 Now it's doing it.

01:39:25.400 And it's really cool, but it still scares the crap out of me.

01:39:30.640 And I'll be in Austin, Texas in October, and I'm going to try one out.

01:39:36.620 I'm going to check one out and see what this is all about, see how scary it is.

01:39:40.500 All right, people, don't go anywhere.

01:39:41.980 We will be right back.

01:39:43.200 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:39:46.380 It certainly is.

01:39:48.680 And, you know, Hollywood, I certainly do love my Hollywood.

01:39:54.980 I hate it.

01:39:57.540 Boy, they sure have taken a big fall from grace, haven't they?

01:40:01.880 no one really really cares about celebrities anymore maybe tweens like their cute little

01:40:10.840 actors or uh women you know women are always so fixated on their their actors and things

01:40:17.820 but um i don't think there's an actor or actress that will specifically put asses in seats at a 0.98

01:40:28.540 movie theater based on their talent as an actor that used to actually happen regardless of how

01:40:38.760 good or bad the movie was now it's all about the movie i don't think people people kind of like

01:40:45.280 movies that star uh unknowns you look at obsession um that that isn't a movie where there's stars in

01:40:57.900 No one knows who's in it, and it did very well.

01:41:01.680 Backrooms is another one.

01:41:03.040 Who the hell are those people?

01:41:04.920 And it did very well.

01:41:06.940 I just don't think people have this connection, this allure to Hollywood anymore.

01:41:14.660 And it's because they opened their mouths.

01:41:16.600 We all know this. 1.00

01:41:17.340 They opened their mouths, dumb stuff poured out because it wasn't written by someone else. 0.99

01:41:23.420 and people realize, 1.00

01:41:26.060 ugh, I can't stand these people. 1.00

01:41:29.160 The latest to say something incredibly stupid, 1.00

01:41:34.000 not really offensive stupid, 1.00

01:41:36.320 but just stupid, 1.00

01:41:37.800 was Deadpool's own Ryan Reynolds. 1.00

01:41:42.080 Now this guy has made bank in his career.

01:41:46.160 He's done very well for himself.

01:41:49.100 And I don't know why,

01:41:50.940 but he decided to go off on the 80s.

01:41:55.020 Everyone kind of looks back at the 80s as this great decade.

01:41:59.580 Every decade has its pluses and minuses.

01:42:03.120 It's good and it's bad.

01:42:05.280 And the 80s is very memorable to people as a very good decade.

01:42:10.640 It was fun.

01:42:12.780 It was weird.

01:42:13.700 It was like the past version of what the future would be.

01:42:18.940 You know, if the 70s, if you ask the 70s what the future will look like, it was the 80s.

01:42:26.540 The clothes, the hairstyles, the music, everything's just a little weird.

01:43:20.420 you might as well publish it.

01:43:22.160 But it was fun. It was cool.

01:43:24.640 Ryan Reynolds has a whole different take on the 80s.

01:43:28.680 Let's listen to Ryan Reynolds' AC3.

01:43:33.640 What's interesting about when you get far enough away from a time period

01:43:36.860 that's quite distinct,

01:43:38.340 I think there's always a lovely feeling associated with it.

01:43:40.900 It's almost like you pave over all the trauma

01:43:42.520 with like puppy dogs and ice cream. 0.99

01:43:43.820 and the 80s was a brutal brutal time for people it was a fucking mess like oh forget that it was 0.97

01:43:50.920 like that was a tremendous strife socio-political tensions everywhere you know we're still like 0.96

01:43:56.260 pretty fresh off like a cuban missile crisis which is only like what 15 20 years before

01:44:00.540 so you know it's uh it's a tumultuous period but you look back at it now and you're like oh yeah

01:44:06.260 top gun cocaine like no it was like really scary so i think you know i think when you look back at

01:44:12.460 2026 and this era i think you're gonna like pick on the big ticket items that don't really

01:44:17.980 didn't really leave the footprint culturally that you would think it would like i don't know

01:44:22.860 so much of the aughts were like like a mix of all the decades previous whereas the decades

01:44:28.180 previous were their own thing so i don't know i wonder what it's gonna be it's gonna be like a

01:44:32.580 oh the covid era or something i have no idea no you're probably right it'll be rose colored glasses

01:44:37.260 of course this we are living in the friggin salad days right now we just don't know it

01:44:41.780 yeah all right i almost get what he's talking about you do tend to look back through rose

01:44:49.080 colored lenses as people say but what was he nine in the 80s i don't think ryan reynolds was

01:44:57.260 in the 80s at an age where you can appreciate what the 80s was all about and then the cuban

01:45:05.460 missile crisis i was uh i was in my 20s during the 80s i can tell you a lot of things we chatted

01:45:16.240 about me and my friends a lot of things we did uh discussing the cuban missile crisis

01:45:23.160 and the effects it's still having on us in the 80s wasn't one of them uh we did have that that

01:45:31.340 uh piano hanging by a thread over us in that the soviet union was still perceived as powerful

01:45:41.340 nuclear weapons all that but we have been dealing with that for years for years and years and years

01:45:47.820 so you know that was just kind of part of life but the fun part cuban missile crisis

01:45:54.620 And I kind of agree with him about the aughts and how they're a little nondescript.

01:46:06.400 They're kind of, you know, the 80s and 90s, I mean, you know them when you see them.

01:46:11.280 You know them when you hear the music.

01:46:14.340 2000 to 2010 to 2020, there's no real distinct feel for those decades

01:46:22.260 and no real definitive musical style from that.

01:46:27.600 You got like your boy band stuff and your little girl singers and I don't know.

01:46:36.380 But as far as a feel of a decade, any given decade, things changed.

01:46:42.480 Technology changed.

01:46:43.980 But, you know, the 90s were the 90s.

01:46:46.600 You felt it.

01:46:47.480 You know it.

01:46:47.880 And looking back, there's no mistaking the 90s for any other decade.

01:46:53.180 But let's say 2000 to 2010.

01:46:57.840 What is that?

01:46:59.660 I don't know.

01:47:00.600 All right.

01:47:01.180 Back in a moment.

01:47:02.000 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:47:04.080 Thanks for tuning in on this Labor Day weekend.

01:47:08.020 Got to have a good time.

01:47:09.220 That's it.

01:47:10.480 That's it.

01:47:11.300 Summer done.

01:47:12.940 It's a wrap.

01:47:14.340 Put it in the bag.

01:47:16.440 Isn't that terrible?

01:47:17.020 I talked to some people over the course of the weekend and they were saying, I'm kind of glad I'm kind of ready for the for the cooler weather.

01:47:26.820 And I'm like, yeah, about you. Get out of my face. I am. I am all about the warm weather.

01:47:36.460 Do not like the cold. But where I am down here, it doesn't get that. Don't get that cold.

01:47:43.360 We get a couple of days where you're like, ah, okay.

01:47:46.360 I guess that's the winter down here, South Carolina.

01:47:50.040 But brutal up in New York.

01:47:53.500 I go to New York quite often for my various things that I have to do.

01:47:59.120 Jobs and family is still up there.

01:48:02.620 And I'll be going up there next weekend.

01:48:06.400 I'm up next week for 9-11.

01:48:10.180 I got some things to do.

01:48:12.780 I can't really say one of them.

01:48:16.520 I'll be doing a program.

01:48:17.960 Let's just say I will be doing a program.

01:48:22.100 I'll let you know.

01:48:23.040 Follow me on X, Anthony Cumia on X,

01:48:25.480 and you'll get all the news you need to know.

01:48:28.780 Bob from Cleveland, Ohio.

01:48:31.440 What's up, Bob?

01:48:33.240 Anthony, let me just say it's an honor to speak to you, sir.

01:48:36.140 I've been listening to you for 25 years.

01:48:39.220 My God, man.

01:48:40.280 And I want to say you've made me laugh for most of my life.

01:48:45.980 And you are one of the funniest people I've ever heard on the radio.

01:48:49.760 And I appreciate you.

01:48:51.800 Happy Labor Day.

01:48:53.240 That's all I got.

01:48:54.840 Oh, well, Bob, that was very nice of you.

01:48:57.060 Thanks.

01:48:57.380 It's good to hear.

01:48:58.560 So thank you, Bob.

01:49:00.220 Always nice to hear that your work is appreciated.

01:49:05.700 Yeah.

01:49:06.860 But I also have social media.

01:49:08.680 So for every one compliment I get like Bob, oh, there are a hell of a lot of people calling me terrible things that I cannot say here.

01:49:19.500 My God.

01:49:22.040 What's going on in New York?

01:49:24.260 Like I said, I'll be there next weekend.

01:49:26.460 Always a joy.

01:49:28.420 Always a joy to fly in.

01:49:30.600 It's a joy to fly out, too, because it's a surprise.

01:49:33.580 I never know when I'm going to be leaving New York.

01:49:35.820 I sit at LaGuardia Airport as I watch the board and watch my flight be delayed, delayed, delayed, then canceled.

01:49:43.900 It's a wonderful experience, and it's getting more and more common as time goes by.

01:49:51.780 They blame it on everything.

01:49:53.300 Oh, it's the summer.

01:49:54.700 Oh, it's the weather.

01:49:55.880 Oh, it's this.

01:49:56.540 All I know is lately I have not been able to escape from New York.

01:50:02.180 So I'll be there.

01:50:03.220 But if you're in town tomorrow for Labor Day, Monday, it's a national holiday.

01:50:11.500 Everybody's off.

01:50:13.380 Go head down to maybe catch the West Indies Day Parade.

01:50:19.420 What?

01:50:20.860 Am I hearing people say, no way in hell you would ever catch me?

01:50:26.560 The West Indies Day Parade.

01:50:29.380 It's what a festival.

01:50:30.820 everyone celebrating the west indies i guess and um it sounds like everyone just has a good time

01:50:39.980 every year every year so what are they expecting this year let's go to clip ac4 and hear for

01:50:47.340 ourselves shall we although marred with crime sometimes over the years this is the highlighted

01:50:53.160 event for millions of west indians really like you mentioned across the country that come here

01:50:58.600 to visit and of course living in this city the barricades are up nypd spent all day yesterday

01:51:04.560 lining along the eastern parkway here in brooklyn the new york carnival parade which is for a long

01:51:11.140 time called the west indian day parade will start after juve which is the vibrant pre-dawn

01:51:15.980 celebration that marks the official start of carnival spectators can start grabbing their

01:51:20.780 positions for juve at 2 a.m here in brooklyn the west indian day parade it's more than just a one

01:51:26.560 day every year labor day event the annual junior carnival kicked off yesterday near the parkway

01:51:31.960 along the youth fest that was held at the brooklyn museum the west indian day parade kicks off

01:51:37.260 tomorrow at 11 a.m it it will end a half hour early this year at 5 30 p.m that's because police

01:51:43.720 commissioner jessica tisch says this is an effort to curb violence that tends to happen around the

01:51:48.760 end of the parade we have seen shootings on and around the parade route endangering innocent

01:51:55.500 people and overshadowing this incredible tradition i want to be very clear the shooting is the

01:52:02.300 tradition zero tolerance for violence of any kind oh zero tolerance oh oh i didn't hear that when i

01:52:09.920 first heard that clip oh zero tolerance well everything's fine then oh everything's just 0.53

01:52:15.780 going to be great then i love how jessica tish you know she's doing the job of police commissioner 1.00

01:52:23.420 with two hands tied behind her back under this Memdani administration. 1.00

01:52:31.680 She's the holdover from Adams and his NYPD.

01:52:36.900 And with Memdani, I don't think she has any autonomy to do anything.

01:52:43.960 So what was the idea for the West Indies Day Parade? 0.93

01:52:49.220 End it a half hour earlier.

01:52:51.280 and here's the logic because the violence happens at the end of the event well uh call me crazy

01:53:01.220 but doesn't it make sense that if you end it a half hour earlier the violence is going to start

01:53:07.520 a half hour earlier how about end it 10 minutes before it starts that would be a great way to

01:53:16.820 curb the old violence because uh as i see it there's gonna be violence there is every year

01:53:25.260 i don't know why they don't just cancel it if it was anything but a minority parade or event

01:53:34.780 uh if there were that many shootings and murders and robberies during the saint paddy's day parade

01:53:43.720 They'd probably cancel it.

01:53:46.220 Oh, there's a lot of vomiting and some fisticuffs. 1.00

01:53:51.760 You get your Irish up in there at the bar, 1.00

01:53:54.680 and you might get into a little scuffle with somebody

01:53:58.920 when they come into the bar and blare those bagpipes.

01:54:04.840 Oh, my God. 1.00

01:54:06.220 Can we make a rule to keep the damn bagpipes outside the establishments? 1.00

01:54:11.420 Don't bring them in. 0.99

01:54:12.220 Oh, my phone's need to click the continue again, sir, back at home base.

01:54:16.160 I don't want that happening again.

01:54:18.120 Thank you.

01:54:20.080 Yeah.

01:54:20.920 So look forward.

01:54:22.940 I look forward to the stories that we'll be hearing from the West Indies parade.

01:54:30.580 It's all those, the Caribbean Day Parade, the Puerto Rican Day Parade was always.

01:54:35.660 That was a big one in the 80s.

01:54:37.780 I don't know how, but I think they cleaned it up a little bit.

01:54:40.480 the 80s they would board the stores up the all the the stores along the parade route would

01:54:47.940 pull out plywood like a hurricane hurricane jose was coming into town to uh tear things up

01:54:57.160 uh now it's not as bad but the west indies day parade is still

01:55:51.800 to talk to yourself for an hour you might as well publish it um here's another story from uh

01:55:59.120 the uh of the community some of the communities in new york city um this is clip ac1 apparently

01:56:09.080 hairdressers if you are going into the business of being a hairdresser in new york

01:56:15.180 you will now need to learn how to cut a very diverse hairstyles you will need to know if you

01:56:26.060 just want to cut uh people's hair that have straight hair perhaps maybe a loose curl uh sorry

01:56:35.160 that ain't gonna cut it in new york you are gonna need to know how to cut all types of hair

01:56:42.660 whose effing business is it as to what what style of hair you go into to to cut

01:56:53.740 If you want to be a hair cutter that only cuts a certain type of hair because you're better at it, who's to tell you what you can and can't learn and practice in New York State?

01:57:10.260 Let's hear this story, AC1.

01:57:13.320 A new law requiring hairdressers in New York to learn how to do all hair types, including black hair.

01:57:19.680 It is now in effect.

01:57:20.940 starting today anyone studying cosmetology in the state must be trained to work with diverse

01:57:25.740 types of hair textures the number of hours needed to get a license won't change instruction on how

01:57:31.120 to do curly wavy coily and kinky hair must be integrated into the curriculum the goal of the

01:57:36.960 law is to stop anyone from being turned away from a salon law it's a law and we saw it on um

01:57:45.900 I saw a couple of pictures of the people that sponsored this law.

01:57:51.740 Yep. 1.00

01:57:52.580 Their hair, as that gentleman on the news said, could be considered kinky.

01:57:59.120 But who's to tell you?

01:58:02.180 I think haircutting is more art than science.

01:58:06.980 I think anyone would agree with that.

01:58:10.020 It's more art than science.

01:58:12.100 You could teach two people the exact same thing about haircutting.

01:58:17.120 One person might be more artistically inclined to do a better job than the other.

01:58:24.400 That's an art.

01:58:26.140 If you give someone paintbrushes, paint, and a canvas, two people are going to do different things.

01:58:33.080 One might be better than the other.

01:58:34.580 But who's to tell the artist what they can or can't paint?

01:58:39.100 It's not just a job.

01:58:41.260 You're fixing, you know, a car or something that has standards that you adhere to.

01:58:48.440 Oh, I'm changing this part or that part.

01:58:51.680 It's an art.

01:58:53.480 And, of course, because they don't want people getting turned away at a salon.

01:58:58.940 Well, who's turning anyone away?

01:59:01.440 Let me be blatantly honest here. 1.00

01:59:03.680 Black people go to black hair places. 1.00

01:59:08.360 stylists, the beauty 0.99

01:59:10.360 parlor, the barber

01:59:12.340 shop, and

01:59:14.400 white people go to

01:59:15.780 people that can cut white hair.

01:59:18.580 Why do we always have to

01:59:20.280 be on this? We're all

01:59:22.140 the same. Everyone

01:59:24.240 can do everything everyone else

01:59:26.280 can do. We can all go

01:59:28.300 to each other's places of

01:59:30.380 business, whether it's food

01:59:32.240 or clothing or hairstyle.

01:59:34.620 We are different.

01:59:35.840 and and they love celebrating our differences by telling us we're all the same

01:59:42.560 we're not we have our own little ways of doing things and different types of hair require

01:59:49.460 different types of people uh and and talents when they cut it anyway all right back in a moment

01:59:57.200 don't go anywhere it's the anthony cumia show and um we got a call here from uh chris because

02:00:03.860 i do want to get into this ai thing bernie sanders is pushing to ban and regulate

02:00:10.600 artificial intelligence uh i don't think bernie has enough regular standard issue intelligence

02:00:20.780 to uh make a decision like this but uh chris from lindenhurst chris what's up man

02:00:28.200 How are you doing, my friend?

02:00:29.760 Good, buddy.

02:00:32.240 Look, the AI thing, man, it's out of control.

02:00:35.140 It's out of control.

02:00:36.300 We opened up Pandora's box.

02:00:38.140 You think so?

02:00:38.940 Yeah, because I've been looking at it, and it's fast, man.

02:00:43.580 This is hitting every business, every industry,

02:00:47.360 and especially people that work in any capacity with computers

02:00:51.520 or anything that utilizes computers, which is everything now.

02:00:55.240 So, AI is taking over at warp speed.

02:00:59.720 This episode is brought to you by Spreaker,

02:01:02.060 the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

02:01:06.780 Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need,

02:01:46.980 you might as well publish it. Correct. You know, and who cares about all of that? It's killing

02:01:52.140 video games man it's killing video games no oh but yeah you know i went to a um a cyber event

02:02:00.320 in manhattan a couple months back run by crowd strike which is uh the world's leading uh cyber 0.75

02:02:06.240 security platform and uh there were a lot of ceos from some big wig companies there and it scared me

02:02:13.580 a lot because of what they were already facing as far as we now have to use ai to fight 0.99

02:02:22.080 ai because ai is thinking for itself uh we just had a security incident a cyber incident a couple

02:02:29.400 days ago with that uh hugging face company that nvidia um who just bought them for 12 billion

02:02:35.460 dollars a rogue ai system hacked the hugging face company it wasn't told to do it wasn't human

02:02:44.620 controlled you know it's it's kind of funny because you talked about hollywood a couple

02:02:50.180 minutes ago uh you know james cameron knew this in 1984 when he did terminator man cyberdyne

02:02:56.340 systems it's coming to fruition we're not gonna we're not gonna have terminators but we got

02:03:05.960 machines now thinking for themselves we got cars driving themselves look man that's that's total 0.98

02:03:11.000 recall it's the johnny cab you know just unplug the damn thing yeah you're gonna get in in texas 0.97

02:03:18.860 And there's going to be no guy sitting there. 0.97

02:03:21.000 But what happens if you grab the little joystick?

02:03:23.280 You're going to start going around in circles in the street, and you'll have a street takeover.

02:03:27.320 Just drive.

02:03:29.160 There isn't even a joystick.

02:03:32.240 That's what gets me, too, with those cybercams.

02:03:34.180 It's like I don't like the idea that if it just stops somewhere, you're stuck. 0.99

02:03:40.720 Can you get out of the damn thing? 0.97

02:03:42.620 Can you pull over to the side of the road so you don't get rear-ended on a highway? 0.99

02:03:46.760 because I think that happened recently with a Tesla vehicle.

02:03:51.060 It wasn't one of the cybercabs, but it just stopped in the highway

02:03:56.300 and was summarily rear-ended by a pickup truck,

02:04:00.780 and the guy in the Tesla died.

02:04:03.920 Yeah, I don't like that no, like, you have no fail-safe.

02:04:09.160 Whatever this thing does, you're along for the ride.

02:04:12.260 You're trusting everything, everything.

02:04:14.920 Now your life in the hands of a computer.

02:04:17.800 And look, AI is something that it's got its good points, it's got its bad points, like everything else.

02:04:24.640 But for the people listening and they don't know how AI is affecting them themselves, I mentioned gaming for a reason.

02:04:32.440 The consumer market now for personal computers, laptops, desktops, even Xbox, PlayStation video game systems,

02:04:40.640 has been obliterated because AI has gobbled up all of the storage, the memory, the graphics cards, everything.

02:04:48.960 You can't buy them.

02:04:50.640 They're astronomically priced, and it's killing the industry.

02:04:55.240 And this is stuff that people use every single day.

02:04:58.220 As somebody who's in the IT field, who's been in the IT field for now 30-plus years,

02:05:04.140 people come to me every day, hey, Chris, I want to buy a computer.

02:05:07.620 I tell them now, you can't do it, dude.

02:05:09.800 You've got to hold on to older tech and pray that it lasts because the AI boon has come in and just, oh, it's Nagasaki, the entire market.

02:05:18.940 And speaking of Nagasaki, Chris, I did a little research here. 0.96

02:05:23.740 If anyone thinks this is going away, and I'll get to the Bernie Sanders clip because this naive idiot thinks you're going to put a ban on AI. 0.96

02:05:33.320 He doesn't understand it's already here. 0.98

02:05:37.260 There's no getting rid of this. 0.94

02:05:39.020 By the way, you want to get behind China?

02:05:42.040 You want to fall behind China and India when it comes to AI by banning the United States' ability to utilize this?

02:05:53.000 As soon as Bernie can make a dollar in AI, he's going to be all for it.

02:05:57.180 We've got to build more AI centers.

02:05:59.040 We've got to build more AI in this country.

02:06:01.960 Artificial intelligence is amazing.

02:06:04.980 Yeah, listen to this, Chris.

02:06:06.040 Because this is for anyone that thinks, Pandora, the box hasn't been opened

02:06:13.360 and everything's out there and there's no stopping it.

02:06:18.060 Microsoft, I did a little research myself here.

02:06:21.180 Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon are all contracted.

02:06:26.020 I looked this up.

02:06:27.180 I found out this is happening right now.

02:06:30.980 They are contracted directly with nuclear power companies to utilize their power plants as exclusive customers in some cases.

02:06:42.280 These contracts run for 20 to 25 years.

02:06:46.240 This is a contract to plug right in to a nuclear reactor for your own company.

02:06:54.800 This doesn't go to the grid and you're a customer on the grid.

02:06:59.460 They are making contracts with nuclear power companies to just utilize the nuclear power.

02:07:06.500 Now the AI, these data centers, will have all the power they need.

02:07:12.500 It's plugged right into a nuclear power plant.

02:07:16.280 So I said, so continuing, it's been unheard of for a company beside utility companies to supply electricity to a grid

02:07:26.480 to pretty much plug right into a nuclear power plant

02:07:29.400 and use 100% of their output.

02:07:32.200 Why do they need this much power?

02:07:34.200 Data centers.

02:07:35.620 The amount of deregulation and permits being granted

02:07:38.800 to build new nuclear plants and reactivate the closed ones

02:07:43.560 is significantly higher this year than it has been for decades.

02:07:50.020 This is because of the huge demand for power

02:07:52.260 these companies require to run the data centers.

02:07:54.380 If anyone thinks this is going to be like the 70s or the 80s, and some hippies and musicians are going to stop the nuclear power renaissance that's going on, delusional.

02:08:05.380 The data centers are more important than you think.

02:08:09.320 And look for a steaming cooling tower coming to a town near you.

02:08:14.680 These are happening.

02:08:15.660 Just hope somewhere there's a Jack Adele who's monitoring things.

02:08:24.380 properly i love it the china syndrome all right buddy take it easy chris thanks for the call my

02:08:31.380 friend yeah this is using nuclear power to power the data centers 100 no other customer for an

02:08:44.260 entire nuclear power plant and you don't think these are important you don't think these are

02:08:50.360 growing because one of the biggest concerns for the people building the data centers which i said

02:08:55.520 you know microsoft google meta amazon there's more um one of the biggest concerns has been power

02:09:03.060 they just don't have enough power to go around and it's expensive power and it's dirty power

02:09:11.120 that's another thing they shy away from because one of the biggest complaints people have about

02:09:16.500 data centers are they use so much power and it's not green power it's it's coal or fuel

02:09:24.300 well the answer is nuclear my friend those are clean they don't put out any uh uh not a lot

02:09:33.720 anyway of uh carbon emissions they're safe you know people hear uh chernobyl they hear three

02:09:41.640 mile island fuka fuka not gonna fuka be here anymore fukushima uh they hear that and they

02:09:50.440 kind of freak out but truth be told they're very safe they have a lot of safeguards and um

02:09:57.560 even three mile island no one died no one died from what happened at three mile island years ago

02:10:05.800 So they're very safe, and that was just to power your lights, your town, your businesses.

02:10:16.100 All right, well, I guess we'll shut the nuke plant down.

02:10:19.800 We don't really need that. 0.96

02:10:21.860 The hippies don't like it.

02:10:23.520 For data centers, they're not budging.

02:10:26.900 They're actually plugging right into the side of nuclear power plants to power these things.

02:10:32.820 So AI, it's here.

02:10:34.160 It ain't going anywhere.

02:10:36.200 I'll play that Bernie, or I'll talk about Bernie Sanders trying to ban it and regulate it. 0.99

02:10:41.400 It's a naive old dummy. 0.98

02:10:44.140 Back in a flack. 0.98

02:10:45.540 It's the Anthony Cumia Show, talking a little bit about AI, how it's just here.

02:10:51.360 We're not regulating it.

02:10:53.080 We're not getting rid of it.

02:10:55.540 It's here for good or evil.

02:10:59.480 Evil.

02:11:00.820 It's very interesting.

02:11:02.680 I'll give it that.

02:11:04.160 The fact that a lot of these big data companies are making long-term contracts with nuclear power plants to exclusively power their data centers tells you right there how important this is to them, which means no little hippie with a no-nuke sign is going to stop at this time around.

02:11:29.380 Jackson Brown ain't stopping at this time around.

02:11:32.700 You know, Joni Mitchell isn't pulling her guitar out and singing a little ditty that's going to stop AI and data centers from powering themselves with nuclear power.

02:11:45.540 But Bernie Sanders, he's going to do it.

02:11:49.880 This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

02:11:56.380 Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need, explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives,

02:12:01.660 and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.

02:12:05.800 If this sounds familiar, you're probably already a podcaster.

02:12:09.560 The good news is Spreaker makes the whole process simple.

02:12:12.400 You record your show, upload it once, and Spreaker distributes it everywhere people listen.

02:12:16.580 Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen apps your cousin swears are the next big thing.

02:12:21.820 Even better, Spreaker helps you monetize your show with ads, meaning your podcast might someday pay for, well, more microphones.

02:12:30.280 Start your show today at Spreaker.com.

02:12:32.940 Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it.

02:12:38.440 Bernie, of course, from Vermont, and Representative Greg Cesar, is that it?

02:12:45.800 It says Caesar, but he's from Texas, so I have to imagine it's Greg Cesar.

02:12:49.960 They're calling for a ban on artificial superintelligence

02:12:54.500 and a broader pause on the development of advanced models

02:12:58.820 following a string of AI-powered cyberattacks.

02:13:03.640 Does anyone think this is possible?

02:13:06.880 To ban something that is so...

02:13:10.280 The momentum is built up at a rate that has not been seen technologically,

02:13:18.020 I think, ever.

02:13:19.960 This has been the fastest advance of a type of technology

02:13:23.800 I've ever seen in my life.

02:13:26.860 The pair are preparing, preparing, pair, prepare, pair

02:13:30.400 to introduce a bill that would ban the development

02:13:33.280 and deployment of superintelligence.

02:13:36.700 They don't want AI models, cutting AI models,

02:13:41.760 to be built until an agency is created

02:13:48.060 to monitor their capabilities and identify potential risks.

02:13:53.200 They want a government agency.

02:13:56.760 You know what this reminds me of?

02:14:01.020 In the 1800s, a blacksmith saying that he wants automobiles regulated,

02:14:09.280 and he's going to be the one that comes up with what should be regulated,

02:14:14.420 what research on automobiles should be done.

02:14:18.060 From the standpoint of a blacksmith, someone that puts shoes on horses and things like that, that's what this is.

02:14:25.360 To think that the government can put together an agency to monitor capabilities and identify potential risks, you can't do it.

02:14:41.420 I'll tell you what I do believe they want, a piece of the action, as they say.

02:14:47.120 they want to wet their beak they want to have their hand in someone's pocket if ai is so big 0.80

02:14:56.560 and it's out there and it's getting to be part of everything you deal with on a daily basis

02:15:03.620 that means money and they'll be damned if they don't get their hands on some of it

02:15:11.560 So with regulations and oversight comes permits, grants, and all the other things

02:15:22.420 that the government hands out to companies once they start restricting them and regulating them.

02:15:29.900 And that's what it really comes down to, stopping AI.

02:15:33.680 And like I said to Chris, if you think China or any other tech country is going to go, yes, we stop immediately, very dangerous, they're not, they're going to continue researching and utilizing it, and what are we supposed to do?

02:15:54.200 Oh, this is just not, it's an evil prospect, the potential danger.

02:16:02.040 Cesar, he said that superintelligence, a type of AI with cognitive capabilities

02:16:07.500 that far surpassed that of humans, could risk the security, freedom, and lives of Americans.

02:16:15.940 Isn't that funny?

02:16:16.600 They use the same language for Trump.

02:16:19.060 They use the same language for everything they don't like.

02:16:21.860 that could risk the security freedom and lives of americans it's an existential threat

02:16:28.960 despite its potential deadly consequences cutting-edge ai technology is less regulated

02:16:36.780 than the average food truck that must change boy they can't keep their mitts off of anything can

02:16:45.340 they they just got to stick those snouts into every single aspect of our lives and an innovation 0.65

02:16:56.200 government intervention into innovation is the worst roadblock you could throw up in front of

02:17:05.060 inventors entrepreneurs people that just have a gift like elon musk a gift a vision to see

02:17:13.900 something and then being able to get the right people in place apple did that steve jobs and and

02:17:22.500 we went from the stupid blackberry with buttons to this amazing phone that we still use and gets 0.96

02:17:31.160 improved on uh every few years the government's gonna get in there and regulate and screw 0.99

02:17:39.560 everything up yeah ai there is a potential for danger warning danger will robinson oh dear ai

02:17:48.700 cesar in an interview earlier this year said democrats were in the wilderness when it comes

02:17:56.320 to ai issues and called for the party to be ai populists who stand with working people who know

02:18:05.100 in their gut that ai right now is just going to make a few billionaires into trillionaires

02:18:10.720 while making millions of americans poorer less safe and less free what a bunch of drivel

02:18:18.960 will ai uh replace certain jobs of course absolutely it is already

02:18:31.460 Has that ever been a reason to put the brakes on a certain technology?

02:18:40.140 There's no stopping it.

02:18:42.280 It's called advancing.

02:18:44.120 It's what we've done as human beings forever.

02:18:50.940 And it's what Americans have done quite well for quite some time also.

02:18:58.220 There's no stopping it.

02:18:59.840 What is he talking about?

02:19:01.460 Just make a few billionaires into trillionaires.

02:19:05.340 You don't think that the technology is valuable to everybody?

02:19:11.280 And again, it gets used for terrible things, too.

02:19:14.340 Every technology does.

02:19:16.740 Everything.

02:19:17.380 The automobile.

02:19:18.040 How many people die every year from car crashes?

02:19:20.440 It's terrible.

02:19:21.720 We've tried to make it as safe as we can.

02:19:24.180 And we have.

02:19:25.460 But it still happens.

02:19:26.740 It's part and parcel of getting around quickly and being the captain of your own destiny where you want to go and what you want to do.

02:19:38.660 Same thing with air travel. 0.91

02:19:41.720 And the idea that AI is going to be all bad or all good is ridiculous.

02:19:49.480 And there are plenty of jobs that went to the wayside because technology took them over.

02:19:54.620 That poor blacksmith from years ago.

02:19:58.800 The simple cobbler. 1.00

02:20:01.340 Remember the cobbler?

02:20:03.160 I don't.

02:20:04.400 Don't make me that old.

02:20:07.560 How about the milkman?

02:20:09.100 I remember the milkman.

02:20:12.320 He would come to your house, and there was a little sheet metal box by your front door.

02:20:18.120 And clinkety, clinkety, clink, he'd put some glass bottles of milk in there.

02:20:22.400 With a little paper pull tab.

02:20:24.220 It was insane, and that was a job.

02:20:30.860 Now it's not a job because you go to the store and you buy milk.

02:20:35.980 It's just convenient that way.

02:20:39.540 I don't know why.

02:20:40.800 When I was a kid, people could just go to the store and buy milk too.

02:20:44.760 Did you want fresh milk in the morning for your breakfast so the milkman?

02:20:48.760 I still don't know what the milkman was all about,

02:20:51.200 but there's a job that you know it's just out of date uh sanders was the first member of congress

02:20:58.960 to call for a moratorium on the construction of data centers to power ai of course he was

02:21:04.920 lawmakers have failed to make any real progress on ai legislation uh this congress um as members

02:21:12.860 in both parties have yet to coalesce around clear positions on safety reviews because they haven't

02:21:18.700 really figured out where the money is how much of it is going around and how much they need to take

02:21:25.780 what's our take what's our skim that's the only reason they regulate anyway they don't care about

02:21:35.240 you they don't care about your life your freedom your safety what have they ever put in place that

02:21:43.220 cares about that why do we have to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars to cut a tree down in

02:21:51.120 our own yard is that for our safety what is that about they have to have an inspector come

02:21:58.700 and check your tree and who's taking it down are they licensed that it's your property it's your

02:22:05.280 tree i want to cut it down when i was up in new york in roslyn i wanted to cut down a tree i was

02:22:11.460 putting a pool in the frigging thing the whole procedure i had to go through

02:22:17.780 handing cash to the town to cut a tree down in my did some politician come up with that 0.87

02:22:27.880 for your benefit or for their benefit and every single thing that requires a permit

02:22:36.480 everything they regulate everything that's licensed is that really about your safety

02:22:43.800 maybe a few things but the the the majority of those things are to get money into their pockets

02:22:51.400 and that's all they want to do with this ai thing it's brandy new they don't know anything about it

02:22:59.060 but they're able to bamboozle people and scare them by saying things like,

02:23:06.540 your life is in danger, your liberty, your freedom.

02:23:11.560 They don't seem to care about those cameras that are going up all over the place.

02:23:17.520 Nothing about your liberty when they talk about the government cameras

02:23:22.880 that are popping up everywhere, looking at your face,

02:23:27.980 looking at your license plates sending you tickets sending you warrants whatever

02:23:34.100 what about that no no that's the government making money who makes money off of those cameras

02:23:41.000 the government the people that want their hands in your pockets my god man isn't it crazy

02:23:50.080 i certainly think so let's talk to robert in north carolina my neighbor to the north

02:23:56.880 This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading

02:24:01.180 condition known as podcast brain. Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need,

02:24:06.640 explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives, and saying things like,

02:24:10.140 sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio. If this sounds familiar, you're probably already

02:24:34.880 well more microphones start your show today at spreaker.com spreaker because if you're going

02:24:42.180 to talk to yourself for an hour you might as well publish it what's up bob good evening neighbor

02:24:49.180 happy labor day first thank you sir and uh don't trust the technology

02:24:56.540 a couple bad experiences with these new cruise controls the adaptive cruise control it's called

02:25:04.060 oh yeah it's supposed to uh slow down it doesn't shut it doesn't shut off immediately it'll slow

02:25:10.120 down if you come up behind a vehicle it's a little more lenient than just on and off

02:25:15.080 well it's more than that these cameras basically they work from

02:25:21.740 a bit of sand or dust or a leaf or something could trigger it and all of a sudden you could

02:25:29.840 get jacked down 65 miles an hour to 30 oh well i had an accident that way yeah you did did you

02:25:38.840 yeah i didn't hear about that uh that danger why aren't they talking about that danger

02:25:46.400 warning warning i don't know i i trust it to a point um i trust automobile technology to a point

02:25:55.860 where as long as i still have control of the the vehicle uh but this uh cyber cab and other things

02:26:04.120 And even some of the A.I., not that I want it shut down like Bernie Sanders says, but I think you have to be a little smart about it, a little wise.

02:26:15.320 And I think we have to have our eyes open and see who is using this, what they're using it for, where it's going.

02:26:20.700 But it ain't stopping, man.

02:26:22.440 It ain't stopping, Robert.

02:26:23.540 Thanks, man.

02:26:25.060 It is here to stay.

02:26:27.580 And good luck with it.

02:26:30.440 I've noticed some jobs.

02:26:31.880 man you don't even have to be that much of a tech nerd which i am i'm a techie uh to see

02:26:39.080 the potential to really replace people's jobs and like i said it happens you can't stop advancement

02:26:47.240 because the the technology has made someone's job redundant uh and i'm seeing a lot of things as

02:26:56.880 far as graphic designers go and not just oh you ask ai to print something and it will print it

02:27:03.900 for you ai can now take control of the the apps and tools that graphic designers use and do what

02:27:15.260 you want it to do through those apps so you could have a grok bot let's say an ai um tool utilize

02:27:26.460 photoshop it can go into the program photoshop and you just say hey i want you to do this

02:27:33.740 to this photo and it will use photoshop to do that it won't just generate its own version

02:27:40.800 of the picture for you which sometimes looks cheap or cheesy or nothing like what you wanted

02:27:45.940 so that is a huge thing for graphic designers video editing videos it can do the same thing

02:27:53.980 Not utilizing AI to recreate something, but to work the tool like Photoshop or Premiere or any of these programs that you utilize to music.

02:28:07.840 Same thing with music.

02:28:10.020 So that's something.

02:28:11.280 Also, if you're in any kind of field where you're a consultant, oofah, are you done consulting?

02:28:19.400 if you're somebody that does the math

02:28:23.620 to figure out like an actuary

02:28:25.760 you want to figure out insurance policies

02:28:29.740 what type of premiums someone should pay

02:28:33.500 for this type of policy

02:28:34.860 you're done

02:28:35.840 your job is over Johnny

02:28:37.920 they used to say learn to code

02:28:40.280 now it's learn to what prompt

02:28:42.160 learn to look at an AI screen

02:28:44.600 I don't even know what's next

02:28:46.380 but something's always next

02:28:47.820 don't panic people there's always the next thing you know bicycles scared people uh that were on

02:28:55.460 horses they were like what is that thing and everyone laughed like ah that's not gonna take

02:28:59.880 away people are still gonna use horses and then the motor vehicle the the automobile came around

02:29:04.600 and then they went uh-oh all right this is kind of threatening to every aspect of uh having horses

02:29:13.660 everything they've done farm uh farming transportation but something always comes

02:29:22.540 about that opens up more jobs because of that technology uh and some people will fall to the

02:29:30.780 wayside it's not good if you're too old and you age out of the technology i don't know what to

02:29:37.820 tell you you could go to walmart be a greeter i know that i i wouldn't feel good about it

02:29:45.280 um but we'll see there's always something else around uh around the corner um i think people

02:29:53.700 should keep tabs on what new technologies are happening how about investing in it there's a

02:30:00.300 way to make money invest in some of these new technologies be smart do your due diligence

02:30:07.620 I am not a stockbroker, so don't listen to me.

02:30:10.480 But it seems like if you're not educated enough or knowledgeable enough

02:30:16.780 to actually get into the field, there's probably other ways you can capitalize

02:30:20.780 on what's going on today with technology.

02:30:24.420 It is a little frightening for some people.

02:30:26.240 I get it.

02:30:27.080 But unlike Bernie Sanders, you've got to adapt, improvise, adapt, overcome.

02:30:31.340 And, you know, I guess you'll come at the other end okay.

02:30:38.780 What happened before the Industrial Revolution?

02:30:41.760 What happened to those people?

02:30:43.060 Where'd they go?

02:30:44.680 Was somebody that was, you know, a cowboy?

02:30:47.600 All of a sudden he's running a big machine?

02:30:52.320 A new technology?

02:30:53.640 A steam engine?

02:30:55.640 I don't know.

02:30:57.160 We'll see, though.

02:30:58.300 All right, don't go anywhere.

02:30:59.580 We're back in a minute.

02:31:00.620 Hey, it is the Anthony Cumia Show, talking a little technology and, you know, people get a little scared, new things.

02:31:11.440 And I remember when home computers really first started making the rounds, a lot of people were getting them.

02:31:20.460 And people started shopping online, getting things through their home computer.

02:31:28.280 And for this, of course, you had to put your credit card information in.

02:31:33.180 And I knew so many people that were like, I'm never putting my stuff in there.

02:31:38.100 Why would I?

02:31:38.660 I don't trust that.

02:31:39.740 Who knows where it's going?

02:31:40.860 This, that, the other day.

02:31:42.560 And I would always say, do you know who you're handing it to every time you buy something in person?

02:31:49.840 When they swipe your card, do you know where that information is going?

02:31:54.420 i mean you know you want to do a little research on the company you're using online and this is

02:32:01.080 back that way back when now it doesn't even matter now it doesn't matter there's a problem

02:32:06.400 the credit card company normally takes care of it uh so there's not really a fear that you're

02:32:13.720 going to get robbed there's uh identity theft that's not a good thing you got to be aware of

02:32:19.860 that keep an eye on all of your accounts and whatnot but um back then it was kind of funny

02:32:25.700 that people didn't want to use their credit card online now you live online everything you have

02:32:34.280 is online and the potential to carry around your digital self on your phone is there and people

02:32:44.040 utilize it i noticed the other day uh i left the house without my wallet i had my phone on me

02:32:53.360 but i left my house the house without my wallet i was driving down the road you do that kind of 0.98

02:32:59.240 you feel where your wallet usually is i didn't feel it under my ass and uh i felt one oh damn 0.98

02:33:05.580 it and instantly there's that panic and you go ah you're looking for a place to turn around to go 0.99

02:33:11.800 home to get your wallet and then it hit me a car that was coming straight at me no i'm teasing of

02:33:19.700 course nothing hit me it hit me that i did not need my wallet i didn't need it every single

02:33:27.880 thing that i thought i needed in my wallet was now on my phone and i could do whatever i needed

02:33:35.440 to do out without my wallet uh no cash no credit cards driver's license cops accept digital

02:33:44.980 documents in a lot of states there are still states that don't but if you don't have your

02:33:49.980 license with you but you have a picture of it you could still give that to a cop and he will run

02:33:56.240 your license off of that so while some states uh it's it's not policy it's still a way to show a

02:34:04.580 cop who you are and that you are indeed a licensed driver i doubt you'd get a ticket put it that way

02:34:10.540 as far as uh everything else goes uh auto insurance cards all on your phone health insurance cards on

02:34:19.560 your phone cash is ridiculous no one even needs cash anymore um everywhere you go to shop has

02:34:27.640 whether it's something you want to buy this big or small they accept various payment methods right

02:34:33.500 there from your phone even airline tickets you know i haven't held a paper airline ticket in

02:34:41.000 years you have the app from whatever airline you're using and there it is there's your

02:34:47.540 your boarding pass there's the time and gate and all the info and it changes

02:34:53.020 when uh the flight is delayed like at laguardia all the time or canceled uh so here we are you

02:35:00.660 know we have all this technology everything is there but how comfortable are we with that

02:35:06.660 because it didn't happen overnight there were those moments like the guy that said i'll never

02:35:13.040 put my credit card into my computer to now now all that time in between was just making us more

02:35:21.180 comfortable with putting every bit of our lives on our digital platforms on our phones out there

02:35:30.040 on a cloud whatever it is we're there and it happened over time and i didn't even realize it

02:35:39.520 or notice it until i felt for the wallet and it wasn't there i had that moment of panic and then

02:35:45.400 huh i don't even need this thing anymore i do not even have to carry this around

02:35:50.460 with me anymore and uh i'm comfortable with it but i know there's an element of danger

02:35:59.140 of people, you know, stealing your information.

02:36:03.080 The more you have out there, the more there is to steal.

02:36:06.580 But, you know, there seems to be this push to get everybody

02:36:16.020 to put themselves out there digitally.

02:36:20.200 And is there a more nefarious reason for that?

02:36:23.480 Is there a grander plan that if all of our information is out there digitally, can we be restricted as to what we want to do because we behave in a certain way, we buy certain things, we watch certain movies?

02:36:43.020 and this is all being looked at and recorded

02:36:46.360 and now maybe I'm not allowed to drive

02:36:49.400 outside a certain radius of where I live

02:36:54.220 or I'm doing business

02:36:55.440 and because everything is online

02:36:59.880 maybe that's possible

02:37:02.280 cars, your car

02:37:04.340 I was driving my vehicle the other day

02:37:06.960 and a message came up that it needed an update

02:37:10.500 that was available over the air by Wi-Fi.

02:37:17.260 And it's not a Tesla.

02:37:18.780 It's not something like that.

02:37:19.700 It's a standard internal combustion, regular car.

02:37:25.440 But you put all this together,

02:37:28.360 and you come up with the ability for someone in a great seat of power

02:37:36.800 to control you, control every aspect of your life,

02:37:42.520 what you want to do, where you're going.

02:37:46.120 And that gets a little frightening.

02:37:47.900 And that's still in the kind of weird sci-fi conspiratorial phase.

02:37:52.340 But something to think about.

02:37:54.460 All right, people, have a great Labor Day.

02:37:57.840 And I'll see you tomorrow morning.

02:37:59.500 I'm going to be on with a bunch of people for Sid's show,

02:38:07.000 It's going to be fun.

02:38:08.420 Join us in the morning.

02:38:10.580 I wish I had that in front of me.
