The Anthony Cumia Show - Rosie O'Donnell’s Daily Dose of Despair

00:00:00.000 Every child deserves the chance to belong, to learn to swim, to go to camp, to discover what

00:00:06.400 they're capable of. But for some families, the cost can put them out of reach. That's why the

00:00:11.740 YMCA exists as a charity. Your donation helps more children access programs that help them

00:00:17.620 build confidence, make friends, and be a part of something bigger. Because belonging shouldn't

00:00:23.420 have a price tag. Donate to the YMCA today at ymcagta.org.

00:00:30.000 Every day, people come to the YMCA looking for something.

00:00:33.680 The confidence that comes with learning to swim.

00:00:36.040 The energy of a new fitness routine.

00:00:38.460 The excitement of trying something new.

00:00:40.820 The friendships that start at camp.

00:00:43.100 And along the way, they find something bigger.

00:00:45.560 A community where children grow, families connect, and people of all ages build confidence,

00:00:50.980 discover new strengths, and feel like they belong.

00:00:53.820 Feel what it means to be greater together.

00:01:25.160 And thank you.

00:01:26.400 Thanks for tuning in.

00:01:27.320 We always enjoy having people listen to the show, call in with their opinions on what we're talking about on any given evening.

00:01:38.480 And, yeah, glad to have you aboard, as they say.

00:01:41.900 I don't know why they say that.

00:01:43.660 I am not on a ship.

00:01:44.980 I assume you're not either.

00:01:46.360 But welcome aboard.

00:01:50.440 First thing I got, just poor, poor New York.

00:01:54.200 I'm with you here during U.N. General Assembly Week, which is coming up. 0.99

00:02:00.220 You guys are screwed. 0.98

00:02:02.000 Those of you that work and live in New York City know this for a fact. 0.99

00:02:06.920 It is amongst the worst time to be in New York,

00:02:11.920 especially if you're on the dreaded east side by the United Nations building on the East River over there.

00:02:18.880 But every street is screwed up because they got all these dignitaries and politicians, world leaders staying at the various hotels all around New York City.

00:02:30.540 And they have to get special treatment.

00:02:33.360 They can't wait in traffic.

00:02:36.260 They can't walk.

00:02:38.140 They certainly can't take the subway.

00:02:40.220 so what they do is they uh they put cones all over the place and their uh motorcades because

00:02:49.220 each one of them they can't possibly just drive in a car they need entire motorcades

00:02:54.300 of sometimes up to 20 vehicles driving them through the streets of new york city which

00:03:01.160 is a nightmare on a good day so uh trying to i remember oh boy do i remember when i was doing

00:03:09.200 radio over there in new york city at wnew the rock of new york some of you may remember i would

00:03:16.960 have to drive uh from to and from long island and trying to get to the midtown tunnel uh the closer

00:03:25.900 you got to the east side it was just impossible and the road rage the anger that would build up

00:03:35.300 as you just sat there in traffic that went nowhere for quite some time

00:03:40.720 and saw the SUVs with the lights on just whizzing past everybody.

00:03:47.560 Oh, it is a nightmare.

00:03:49.460 So Godspeed to all you New Yorkers.

00:03:54.380 Oh, and in case you didn't know, at the same time, it's Climate Week in New York City.

00:04:00.560 Yeah.

00:04:00.900 Yeah, not only Climate Week, by the way, because when the U.N. General Assembly shows up, these are the biggest leaders in the world that show up to go to the U.N., give speeches, listen to other world leaders.

00:04:15.380 Well, what mental patient group of liberal dummies would waste that great opportunity to get their protests, their signs, their bullhorns in front of the biggest leaders on the face of the earth? 0.95

00:04:30.360 So you're also dealing with that whole thing, streets being closed because these imbeciles have to wave their signs for thousands upon thousands of different causes, each one nuttier than the next. 0.99

00:04:47.460 But there you go, New York. 0.99

00:04:49.360 I pray for you this week.

00:04:52.780 If you want to give us a call, of course, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222, and let's get into it.

00:05:05.300 Donald Trump bans CNN, MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, and Politico from the White House, these news organizations.

00:05:16.940 I don't know if there's been more or what have you, but those are the big three that he recently banned from the White House.

00:05:26.460 He took the press credentials away from the reporters, and they have been setting up their cameras and their stand-up locations on the street outside the White House, which is just where they belong, right there in the gutter.

00:05:42.060 now you might say anthony what you're a first amendment guy you're a freedom of speech guy

00:05:51.860 this seems to be uh directly against what the the constitution says how freedom of the press

00:06:00.580 uh is all about and uh nah nah for legitimate press i would understand that you'd have some

00:06:12.800 concerns if you had a media that was honest and truthful and gave the people the facts

00:06:21.440 after researching it doing some investigative reporting and then uh in an unbiased fashion

00:06:29.340 reporting that to the people so they can make their own decisions.

00:06:34.040 Doesn't that sound quaint?

00:06:36.020 Doesn't that sound fun?

00:06:37.820 Because that was supposed to be what it was.

00:06:41.180 I don't know when.

00:06:42.240 I don't think it's been that way in my lifetime.

00:06:45.360 I know we had great trust in people like Walter Cronkite,

00:06:50.740 or at least my parents did.

00:06:52.400 We had trust in people like, I don't know, Tom Brokaw.

00:06:56.200 Remember?

00:06:57.040 Tom Brokaw, NBC Nightly News.

00:07:00.720 The killing of Leon Klinghofer on the Achille-Laureau cruise ship.

00:07:10.300 9-11 is a day we remember when terrorists had that guy get a news job.

00:07:17.360 He could barely speak.

00:07:19.620 But, yeah, journalistic integrity.

00:07:22.880 agreed uh we just don't have that we there is none of that left the news is not the news

00:07:30.460 it is a show that promotes agendas and depending on which news agency you listen to uh the agenda

00:07:40.040 might be a little different but it's overwhelmingly left-leaning in most of the major mainstream media

00:07:47.080 i think we know that even people that talk about fox news i hear that all the time

00:07:52.580 oh what do you just watch faux news fox news maybe if you watched another new i'm like i'm not even

00:08:00.840 a guy that sits and watches fox news i don't watch mainstream media news i see clips from it

00:08:08.800 some of them are ludicrous and ridiculous other ones seem to make a little sense but every one

00:08:15.240 of them seems to be agenda driven we don't need it anymore there is plenty of resources

00:08:22.520 racehorses resources out there to do your own investigative reporting utilize your own

00:08:31.840 powers of deductive reasoning and maybe maybe come up with a little piece of truth

00:08:38.600 in what you're reading but these news agencies that have been booted from the white house

00:08:44.340 for years, decades, if you will,

00:08:49.540 have not been honest with the American people.

00:08:53.020 They have not been trustworthy.

00:08:55.220 They've lied.

00:08:56.200 They've smeared.

00:08:57.400 They're agenda-driven.

00:08:59.620 And why should they get the benefit of the doubt of the American people,

00:09:05.720 the privilege to tell us what's going on in the world

00:09:10.800 as they enjoy the constitutional right of the First Amendment

00:09:17.180 that says that they have the right to report free speech,

00:09:24.980 the power of the press,

00:09:27.100 all those wonderful things that were supposed to be

00:09:29.980 the cornerstone of democracy in America.

00:09:33.440 Well, they blew it.

00:09:35.580 They took it and crapped all over it and smeared it in our faces.

00:09:41.780 And anyone that watches any mainstream media news organization these days,

00:09:47.760 if you turn on your television and there are a few channels that have 24-hour news,

00:09:58.500 you're watching network news, what is that, 6 o'clock, 11 o'clock?

00:10:02.140 Is that still even a thing?

00:10:03.840 Couldn't tell you.

00:10:05.160 Haven't seen it since I was a kid.

00:10:07.580 But if you're watching that to get your information as to what's going on in the world,

00:10:11.960 I pity you.

00:10:13.160 I pity you. 1.00

00:10:14.360 What are you watching the news for, fool? 1.00

00:10:16.300 I pity you because you're being lied to and you're being brainwashed. 1.00

00:10:22.600 They are controlling the narration and beating you over the head with it

00:10:29.600 until you better believe it.

00:10:32.360 You better get out there and recite it.

00:10:34.500 Get on social media and repeat it.

00:10:37.700 That's what the news is.

00:10:39.060 So when I hear that Donald Trump has tossed out a few of these news agencies,

00:10:44.120 I don't really have a problem with it.

00:10:46.720 I don't have a problem with it.

00:10:48.160 If they were being honest and reporting about the president in a truthful fashion

00:10:54.280 that did not make him look good, and then he threw them out, I'd have issues.

00:11:00.920 Yes, even with Donald Trump, I would have issues.

00:11:03.340 go look you can't just people that are criticizing you and the job you're doing you can't just throw

00:11:08.920 them out for that like the gas prices i can't stand that the gas prices are through the roof

00:11:16.300 and they have been for a while and i think the iranian uh war situation police action whatever

00:11:24.600 you want to call it over there i think that has a hell of a lot to do with why we're paying high

00:11:29.680 prices for gas. And mainstream media reports that because they can't stand Trump. We had high gas

00:11:38.180 prices under Biden and they made excuses for Biden, which kind of proves my point about their

00:11:43.960 bias as far as left left wing propaganda goes. So if that was the case and Trump threw them all out,

00:11:52.660 Yeah, I'd have a problem with that.

00:11:55.280 Hey, they're just reporting that gas is high.

00:11:59.460 You're the president.

00:12:00.220 Some of your actions have most likely been the cause of increased gas prices.

00:12:05.580 But that isn't the case.

00:12:08.440 They smear him at every turn.

00:12:12.300 They blatantly lie. 1.00

00:12:13.960 They have a double standard, second to none, as far as treating him, his administration, his presidency, his achievements like crap. 0.99

00:12:25.720 And then just the greatest people in the world are people like Obama and AOC and Chuck Schumer and Zoram and Danny and all the little commies popping up all over the place these days. 0.95

00:12:39.560 so when those are the people

00:12:42.460 you're letting in

00:12:43.540 to offer them

00:12:46.280 information that they are supposed to share

00:12:48.560 with the American people

00:12:49.500 the eyes and ears of the American people 0.84

00:12:51.700 and they take it and twist it

00:12:54.240 and turn it and lie about what you're doing

00:12:56.900 then yeah

00:12:58.140 I think you have every right to throw them out of the White House

00:13:00.900 still do your reporting

00:13:02.900 go out to the sidewalk

00:13:04.760 go into the gutter of the sidewalk

00:13:06.900 with the rats

00:13:07.880 and the worms and do what you feel is your job,

00:13:12.960 which is nothing resembling journalism or newscasting.

00:13:18.420 All right, where the hell do you think you're going?

00:13:21.200 We're just getting started.

00:13:22.580 The phones are lit.

00:13:23.860 Your calls and a hell of a lot more next.

00:13:26.540 We'll be right back.

00:13:34.740 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:13:36.880 welcome welcome talking about uh donald trump and uh throwing the the media out of the white house

00:13:45.100 because it's not the media anymore it's some alien uh hostile organizations that you're inviting

00:13:54.120 into the people's house to then go out and lie about everything they have seen and heard

00:14:02.140 and call it the news so uh yeah i think he's well within his rights maybe not within his rights

00:14:11.400 see i'll even i'll even say maybe he's not within his rights to kick them out of the white house i'm

00:14:17.980 certain these news organizations are going to go right to the courts and uh say well now we're

00:14:24.800 allowed in this is against the constitution which is their right but we'll see we'll see i like what

00:14:31.980 did good shake them up a little even if they go to court and get right back in at least the people

00:14:38.140 see that the guy isn't just going to take their uh their crap laying down i started or not in 2013

00:16:10.060 because we have your number the other thing that's going on that i find hilarious is this

00:16:19.220 arch, the triumphal arch

00:16:22.820 that Trump wants to put up.

00:16:26.140 This is a plan since the Civil War era

00:16:29.480 at the receptive circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge

00:16:33.780 and he wants to

00:16:36.440 put this big arch there. And of course

00:16:39.820 anything Trump does, the liberals, the

00:16:43.100 Democrats, the communists, the usual suspects

00:16:46.380 are going to yell and scream and say it's another vanity project,

00:16:51.060 it's a waste of money and time, it's terrible,

00:16:54.120 and we are going to rip it down the second we get in power.

00:16:58.300 They're saying this about everything.

00:17:00.020 Saying it about the ballroom next to the White House,

00:17:04.380 and now they're saying it about this.

00:17:05.980 They say it about everything Trump does.

00:17:08.460 And believe me, they're also saying it about the border.

00:17:11.660 that border will be wide open for all of the uh uh criminals and mental patients that we saw

00:17:21.240 crossing during the biden administration that an immediate stop was put to when trump got into

00:17:27.760 office you think for a second with a democrat president house and senate god forbid that that

00:17:34.940 wouldn't be flung open for four more years of of an influx of illegals more so than we've ever

00:17:43.600 seen they know if a republican gets in oh we saw what trump did he closed the border try to throw

00:17:49.220 him out we need to bring in even more this time if we have the power to do it so anything trump

00:17:55.780 wants to do they want to destroy it uh and this uh arch i'm sure is another thing they'll put on

00:18:03.140 their list so trump gets on his social media you're right he goes uh he wants to turn it into

00:18:13.020 a top grade military complex slash triumphal arch to house store and have rapid ability to use large

00:18:22.420 numbers of drones plus snipers on both the roof and the plaza areas and additionally have to hold

00:18:31.100 large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage there will be no no facility like it anywhere in

00:18:38.660 the world out of the 59 top cities and capitals washington dc is the only one in the world that

00:18:45.700 does not have a triumphal arch but it will now and by far the greatest of them all thank you for

00:18:52.140 your attention to this matter of course president donald j trump so i am reading comments and they

00:19:01.080 are hilarious the the left they're losing their minds over this i don't know how they don't see

00:19:09.900 what this is they read these things and they react just like a like it's like a cartoon character

00:19:17.960 like like the coyote and roadrunner and they just fall for it every time it's like spy versus spy

00:19:24.640 from mad magazine they're like oh no again look at this guy so here's uh aaron rupar he's on x

00:19:35.900 he writes beyond parody at the strongest request of the strong request of the united states military

00:19:43.040 so then he kind of uh does the whole thing and people comment about why would you why would you

00:19:50.240 tell people that you're putting armaments storage of ammunition and drones why would you tell them 0.96

00:19:58.120 where you're putting it that sounds stupid uh trump is going to use this to uh fight the election 0.98

00:20:06.900 if he loses just be another tower for him to have snipers on and take out people in power and 0.97

00:20:15.840 But here's what it is, folks, and I hate blowing up his spot on this one,

00:20:22.200 but you keep talking about putting up roadblocks to everything he wants to do.

00:20:30.380 You did that with the ballroom.

00:20:32.180 He had to change some stuff around and say it was this and that

00:20:36.500 to keep construction going on it.

00:20:39.340 And then with the arch, that falls into a category

00:20:42.240 where they could just get another liberal judge

00:20:44.940 and say, no, we're not going to do that.

00:20:47.060 If he says that it's something military,

00:20:49.600 it falls into a whole other classification of buildings

00:20:53.700 and national security and whatnot.

00:20:57.160 I severely doubt that Donald Trump wants to turn a decorative arch

00:21:05.320 that would be a tourist attraction, people could go up in it,

00:21:10.520 look out little windows maybe.

00:21:12.780 I doubt he would say no we're going to store sniper ammo and why specifically sniper ammo

00:21:21.200 it's it's hilarious and it's pure Trump and I just don't think people understand

00:21:27.000 that he does this this is what he does he upsets them by saying stuff like this and turning it

00:21:35.960 into another way where he could get his stuff through without having to worry about these

00:21:40.460 activist judges slapping injunctions on what he wants to do every two seconds you got it i hope

00:21:47.500 so don't be too naive all right let's see what we got here uh all right larry larry over there in

00:21:57.080 staten island what's up larry hey how you doing it good buddy uh columbus day is coming upon us

00:22:04.840 rather quickly, and

00:22:06.860 I want to comment about the parade.

00:22:08.980 Here we have Zoran Mondami,

00:22:11.820 who, I think

00:22:12.940 it was before he was the mayor,

00:22:14.860 had a demonstration in Queens,

00:22:16.780 wanted to remove the statue of Columbus

00:22:19.000 and proudly display

00:22:20.900 the middle finger to everybody.

00:22:23.940 Now,

00:22:24.940 here we have people

00:22:26.560 who are leaders of the so-called

00:22:28.320 Italian-American Civil Rights League

00:22:30.980 and the Columbus Association.

00:22:33.020 Oh, we've got to forgive

00:22:34.600 If you forget, now let him in here.

00:22:37.000 I say no.

00:22:38.400 You let him go down that Fifth Avenue and let him meet the boom birds the whole length of the parade.

00:22:44.040 That's my thing. 0.89

00:22:45.220 And ask yourself, if he's doing so well and supportive of the Italian community,

00:22:50.780 look at his list of cabinet members.

00:22:54.380 You can count them on half a finger.

00:22:57.680 Yep, yep.

00:22:58.860 I agree, Larry.

00:23:00.840 I agree with this.

00:23:01.800 I saw Sid from the morning show.

00:23:04.740 He posted something about this.

00:23:07.040 Thank you, Larry.

00:23:07.620 I've got to kind of cut you off because we're going to a break soon.

00:23:10.620 But let me talk about this.

00:23:12.940 Yeah, Zornamabdani has been invited by the Italian-American Heritage Organization

00:23:18.000 to have part in the Columbus Day Parade. 0.95

00:23:25.960 This is ridiculous.

00:23:27.200 During his mayoral run, an old June 2020 social media post resurfaced 0.56

00:23:31.700 showing Ma'am Danny giving the middle finger to the statue of Christopher Columbus

00:23:36.200 in Astoria, Queens.

00:23:37.720 The image included the caption,

00:23:40.300 Take it down, reflecting on his stance to remove the monuments of, of course,

00:23:46.860 Chris Columbus.

00:23:48.400 He's a hero in this house.

00:23:49.840 End of story.

00:23:51.520 But, yeah, why are we giving these people this leeway?

00:23:57.200 Again, the benefit of the doubt.

00:23:59.640 This guy cannot stand Christopher Columbus, hates America,

00:24:05.940 hates every tradition we have, hates any other religion besides his own.

00:24:13.000 And they throw him a bone every two seconds with this stuff.

00:24:17.280 Well, that was, what was it?

00:24:19.840 Six years ago?

00:24:21.020 You think his opinion changed in six years? 1.00

00:24:24.400 Do you think he's trying to maneuver and garner more power and more support from stupid Italians 1.00

00:24:34.660 that don't realize this guy cannot stand you? 1.00

00:24:38.140 This is what we're dealing with, people.

00:24:40.000 I don't know what it's going to take to wake people up to this.

00:24:43.320 All right, don't go anywhere.

00:24:44.680 Back in a moment.

00:24:46.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:24:50.740 it's the anthony comia show and uh yeah i i don't get how we we uh extend an olive branch

00:25:00.980 to these people that have done nothing but crap all over us and it's not just uh italian americans 0.94

00:25:08.320 like myself oh it's uh everyone that isn't a muslim and that isn't a democrat socialist 0.98

00:25:20.660 communist everyone it doesn't matter we see them all popping up all over the place they

00:25:26.600 they took the lead from azora mamdani they smile they get on social media they don't understand

00:25:32.940 our heritage our cultures uh our our uh uh being united as americans hey they don't care

00:25:43.800 You think they care about Christopher Columbus?

00:25:48.720 They can't stand the guy. 0.99

00:25:51.400 And when you see these Islamic politicians wishing all of the Jewish people happy Yom Kippur, 1.00

00:26:01.300 take that for what it's worth, too. 1.00

00:26:03.680 Garbage. 0.99

00:26:04.920 That's what it's worth. 1.00

00:26:06.080 Garbage. 1.00

00:26:06.960 You think they care at all? 0.99

00:26:10.020 If you have a nice Yom Kippur?

00:26:13.100 They must have been biting their tongue, even saying it.

00:26:18.240 Stop being so nice.

00:26:22.120 It's not doing us any good.

00:26:25.140 It's just laying back and relaxing and trying to keep the peace

00:26:31.120 while they're stomping all over our country and everything it stands for.

00:26:38.660 It's terrible.

00:26:39.600 and people just, you know,

00:26:43.080 oh, we'll do, let me see,

00:26:44.340 organize of Manhattan's annual Columbus Day Parade

00:26:47.340 extended an olive branch

00:26:48.660 by inviting Memdani to march on Fifth Avenue.

00:26:51.720 While intended as a unifying gesture,

00:26:54.280 the invitation has further divided

00:26:56.720 local Italian-American groups,

00:26:58.560 which critics actively push back

00:27:00.840 against his inclusion.

00:27:02.300 Yeah, yeah, we don't want him there.

00:27:05.240 We didn't want him there

00:27:06.120 at the 9-11 memorial.

00:27:08.360 we certainly don't want him there uh celebrating christopher columbus and italian heritage i think

00:27:17.340 you got to click that thing on the phones before my phones disappear thank you thank you it's one

00:27:24.060 of those things though where enough why do we have to be the the olive branch extending forgiving

00:27:32.580 nice people as the country is being picked apart stomped on and and and there's no remorse

00:27:44.980 there's no no one on the opposition looks and goes oh wow maybe we shouldn't have

00:27:52.800 yeah well they deserve to have their traditions and religion just like we do they don't think

00:27:58.560 that way why do we have to be the better people to our detriment you know i don't like it i don't

00:28:09.040 like it one bit nope uh tim let's go to tim in san diego tim what's up man and how you doing uh i'm

00:28:19.160 a new uh convert to the kumbia cult uh i was i left the east coast in 1982 so i completely missed

00:28:27.840 The whole, yeah, I've been out here a long time.

00:28:30.940 I went to college up in the Bay Area.

00:28:33.000 I live in San Diego now in Carlsbad.

00:28:35.100 But anyway, you used to live sort of near here.

00:28:37.260 Oh, yeah, I was there in Dana Point, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano.

00:28:42.980 Beautiful stuff.

00:28:43.560 Well, the upshot of my call is it'll be my first time back in New York City on Thursday,

00:28:48.420 this coming Thursday, since then Danny has been elected.

00:28:53.660 So I'm a little reticent, a little bit paranoid.

00:28:57.660 Maybe not paranoid, but, you know, it's...

00:28:59.960 Yeah.

00:29:00.700 When was the last time you were in New York City?

00:29:04.120 Three years ago.

00:29:05.360 My nephew got married in Long Branch, New Jersey.

00:29:08.520 So I was in the city for a few days.

00:29:10.240 It's gotten worse.

00:29:11.140 I'll tell you that much.

00:29:12.520 It's gotten worse in three years.

00:29:15.540 Some of it is Mamdani's fault, but, you know, Adams has to take the blame for some of it, too.

00:29:21.200 and just the lack of any consequence of actions from criminals 0.88

00:29:28.440 and there's no mental institutions to put these nut jobs in

00:29:32.540 and no one wants to keep prisoners, keep criminals in prison.

00:29:38.120 So, you know, it gets bad.

00:29:41.140 Yeah, hey, not to bring too much levity into it,

00:29:44.260 but I have to have you do a Daffy Duck.

00:29:46.920 Consequences, monsequences.

00:29:48.420 As long as I'm rich.

00:29:49.460 As long as I'm rich.

00:29:50.560 yeah yeah i love that pismo beach and all the clams i could eat all right thank you tim

00:29:57.040 we grew up on cartoons people you got to get over it not over the cartoons over the fact that we

00:30:05.360 grew up on cartoons and that's pretty much what we know it shaped everything i am watching uh old 0.99

00:30:11.340 warner brothers uh bugs bunny cartoons and whatnot um speaking of uh cartoon characters the women the

00:30:18.600 The women of The View, the ladies of The View, The View returned for their 30th year.

00:30:27.940 30 years.

00:30:30.680 My God.

00:30:32.880 And they're very happy with themselves.

00:30:36.120 They were celebrating, I think, their premiere show this season.

00:30:41.480 The ratings went up something like 8% perhaps.

00:30:45.260 And they're up there just doing what they do. 0.97

00:30:47.880 cackling about crap they know nothing about and again just being completely agenda driven left 0.99

00:30:59.000 wing uh liberal communists this is what they are they get their orders handed down from their 0.99

00:31:06.700 superiors and then they go out there not that it's a stretch uh to have to say the things that

00:31:13.160 they're told to say because they feel that that way they're uh hollywood show business liberals

00:31:19.760 and they know their mission they know their their lot in life they got to get out there and lie

00:31:25.600 and smear people for the greater good as they say it but uh the view was upset uh don jr you know

00:31:34.340 trump's son don jr he got married in the spring i gather and then all this info came out about his

00:31:42.200 wedding how much it cost and then there was a russian oligarch isn't that a word that just

00:31:49.420 came out of nowhere don't you love those words that come out of nowhere i think it's a bernie

00:31:53.440 thing bernie was really the one he loves pushing that and these are all russian oligarchs with

00:32:00.600 billions of dollars they use the money these oligarchs uh i never heard i didn't know what

00:32:09.760 an oligarch was but uh i still i'm not quite sure but uh apparently a russian oligarch

00:32:17.040 contributed a lot of money to uh donald trump jr's wedding uh all right that could look fishy

00:32:24.100 i'm not gonna completely say oh i'm sure there was nothing nefarious behind it i don't know

00:32:29.980 uh i'd sooner give him the benefit of the doubt but uh here's what the the gals from the view

00:34:12.520 Was and is very wealthy. They've been very wealthy for a long, long time in the billion

00:34:20.940 dollar range billions of dollar range now this is an odd thing for a president there aren't many

00:34:30.040 former or or people that are billionaires that decide to then run for the presidency and win

00:34:37.920 and now you have a guy that's a billionaire as the president there are some rules in place some

00:34:44.440 ethics rules that are in place that you can't do certain business while you are the president.

00:34:53.600 And Donald Trump is adhering to those rules by giving the rudder of his Trump empire over to

00:35:01.500 his family members. And that's exactly what he did. So Don Jr., Eric, his daughters,

00:35:10.560 they all have something to do in running the Trump empire.

00:35:18.820 Just because you're the president doesn't mean you have to throw all your money away.

00:35:23.660 You don't have to take it and put it under the mattress until you're not the president anymore.

00:35:30.800 You have the right, just like any other American citizen, to have your family run your businesses.

00:35:37.080 and we saw this in other presidential families maybe not to the extent of the trumps and

00:35:44.400 that type of money but uh we've seen relatives of presidents take over the reins of of businesses

00:35:55.080 and a lot of these people these presidents wind up leaving and then they become millionaires

00:36:02.960 then they get rich or they get rich in the white house and you wonder how that was done

00:36:08.020 so uh that's a little suspect if you ask me but donald trump huge businessman we've known him

00:36:15.820 for years he's he's been rich for years and his his family has taken over his businesses

00:36:22.340 when they make money that's now an issue because trump is the president his family can't keep that

00:36:31.160 trump empire going and and make money now i certainly know there are some things that even

00:36:37.300 i find a little unethical the trump coin thing and i'm not too uh i'm not too hip on that whole

00:36:48.040 thing uh some of the positions that the trump children have taken in certain companies that

00:36:57.980 depend on government grants defense contractors and things like that i don't like that but it's

00:37:05.920 certainly nothing new and if it's something illegal you would think there would be a line

00:37:12.140 of presidential relatives and children that would have been prosecuted for those things

00:37:17.500 namely hunter biden who was uh a board member of a few organizations over there in ukraine

00:37:26.600 and made boatloads of money, 10% goes to the big guy,

00:37:32.620 his brother, not Hunter's dead brother, Joe Biden's brother,

00:37:40.100 they were making money.

00:37:42.240 This has been going on.

00:37:43.480 But again, the biased media sees Trump and his family doing things that,

00:37:49.860 I admit, don't seem ethical.

00:37:52.880 But they're not illegal.

00:37:55.220 And if you want to make them illegal, you're the lawmakers.

00:38:00.100 I'll tell you why they don't. 0.99

00:38:02.320 Because their ass will be in that seat at some point, 0.99

00:38:05.620 whether it's president or Congress or Senate. 1.00

00:38:08.820 Their ass will be in that seat, and they will do the same thing 0.98

00:38:13.020 and want their businesses to make money while they're holding office. 1.00

00:38:18.260 That's why.

00:38:19.180 because if no one liked it

00:38:22.460 and thought it was unethical

00:38:24.060 and improper, just like trading

00:38:26.280 stocks, just like

00:38:28.260 all these politicians that

00:38:30.320 trade stocks and know exactly

00:38:32.360 what's happening with things like

00:38:34.420 regulation,

00:38:36.500 conflict of interest,

00:38:38.360 monopoly laws, they know when

00:38:40.280 these announcements are going to be made. 0.95

00:38:42.360 Then you find out Nancy Pelosi and her 1.00

00:38:44.280 ball-peen-hammer-headed

00:38:46.420 husband have made

00:38:48.220 a fortune trading stocks that's okay but donald trump jr running his father's business and

00:38:57.480 making money uh is somehow a bigger problem than than any of that so let's listen to the

00:39:04.860 gals the gals of the view while they get mad at don jr and his wedding ac4 0.54

00:39:13.640 a hundred thousand dollars a night to rent a private island whose island uh some bahamian

00:39:22.680 island apparently and he also paid around seventy thousand dollars for a firework show

00:39:27.960 at the wedding but he didn't actually even attend the wedding how about that and you know i i start

00:39:35.040 to think back to hillary clinton it's like everything she said came true like is she

00:39:41.760 clairvoyant i don't know but she said she was going to be president politically savvy and she

00:39:46.680 said that oh she's completely convinced that putin wanted her to lose and trump to win the 2016

00:39:52.040 election uh we remember that the u.s intelligence agencies and a bipartisan congressional investigations

00:39:57.780 confirmed that the russian government interfered in the 2016 u.s presidential election that putin

00:40:03.000 ordered an influence campaign to denigrate hillary clinton and boost trump's chances

00:40:07.080 And so the fact now that you have Donald Trump Jr. having this close relationship, I would say, because a friend that gives you $270,000, that's a pretty good friend, man.

00:40:18.540 I ain't got friends like that.

00:40:20.160 That means you're pretty close.

00:40:21.980 And this is like the family grift.

00:40:25.440 Jared Kushner got $2 billion from Saudi Arabia.

00:40:28.380 You got Ivanka Trump getting all these Chinese patents from the government before anybody else.

00:40:34.660 They've made hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars off the backs of the American people.

00:40:40.100 And every Republican was so upset that Hunter Biden was on that Ukrainian company board.

00:40:46.380 Where are the Republican voices that are upset about this?

00:40:49.460 I don't hear any.

00:40:51.080 I hear one.

00:40:52.360 I hear one.

00:40:53.980 Upset.

00:40:55.320 That looks very good.

00:40:56.640 Nothing happened to Hunter Biden or Joe Biden.

00:40:59.320 This particular group we're talking about is outraged when a single mother on welfare is asking for assistance.

00:41:04.660 where some needy person needs some money

00:41:07.560 to help them get through life.

00:41:09.660 They are outraged by that.

00:41:11.260 And yet this family has their hand out 24-7.

00:41:14.980 You know what, Junior?

00:41:16.020 Pick yourself up by your bootstraps.

00:41:18.040 Yeah. 1.00

00:41:19.220 Oh, she's got to get into it.

00:41:23.260 Oh, you know, 1.00

00:41:24.940 mothers can't feed their kids.

00:41:28.960 Oh, you're talking about the snap and EBT cuts?

00:41:31.980 What do you think?

00:41:32.660 They were really people that were starving or criminal activity, fraud being perpetrated.

00:41:42.880 Just stop.

00:41:44.740 Oh, the view.

00:41:46.720 And it wasn't the people's money.

00:41:49.380 They weren't using taxpayer dollars.

00:41:52.440 And you want to talk about Hillary Clinton? 0.60

00:41:54.960 How about Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and that wedding? 0.97

00:41:58.240 Where did that money come from?

00:41:59.740 The Clinton Global Initiative.

00:42:02.660 Where Bill Clinton would go out and give speeches for umpteen million dollars a clip, but just for the speech, not for any, you know, backroom deals or access to people in Washington.

00:42:18.460 They all have been doing it.

00:42:21.780 And if you find what Trump is doing or Trump's kids are doing as being wrong, then do something about it.

00:42:29.180 oh they know they were saying when hunter biden was on the board of the ukrainian company yeah

00:42:36.820 yeah people complained and nothing happened because there aren't any laws that anyone wants

00:42:44.700 to actually enforce as far as that goes oh but now they want to now they'd love to see the trumps

00:42:53.140 getting in trouble for some kind of fundraising 0.56

00:42:57.460 or taking money from oligarchs.

00:43:00.640 Now it's fair game.

00:43:02.760 But when it was the Bidens or the Clintons or Obama or any of them,

00:43:08.140 oh, that was okay.

00:43:10.180 There was no problem there.

00:43:13.100 That's why they throw, that's why he throws the media out of the way down.

00:43:18.020 Good.

00:43:20.140 What is it?

00:43:21.880 What is it there?

00:43:22.740 channel 7 abc television not radio uh you could tell them go screw that's what you tell them 0.94

00:43:31.280 enough enough of these lying just uh biased propaganda serving witches 30 years 30 effing 0.93

00:43:45.980 years that show has been on holy moly ah worse every every year who cares if a russian guy

00:43:56.100 oligarch they use the word oligarch so it makes it sound more official like oh an oligarch i guess

00:44:03.680 that's a government official no it's a russian guy you know the trump organization does business

00:44:12.180 around the world and if someone wants to schmooze you at your wedding in order to maybe get some

00:44:19.620 business from you that's how it works that's how that works wow we'd like a trump building in our

00:44:26.820 district over here or uh really yeah here you go here's some money thanks for your wedding uh

00:44:33.800 Congrats on your wedding.

00:44:36.260 But no, it's an oligarch, and he's a friend of Putin.

00:44:41.920 How can you prove that, ladies?

00:44:46.660 I doubt it. 1.00

00:44:48.260 But that's what we get.

00:44:49.640 Oh, my God, enough.

00:44:51.460 It's either wrong or it's not.

00:44:54.460 It's either against the law or it's not.

00:44:57.480 And it's either unethical or it's not.

00:45:01.160 And like I said, I do see a few things that seem unethical as far as Trump's business dealings go.

00:45:10.220 The business of his kids running the Trump organization while Trump is president.

00:45:15.040 There are some things that don't look quite on the up and up, but they don't look at the point where arrests should be made.

00:45:23.620 It's business as usual.

00:45:26.220 You don't like it, change it.

00:46:36.400 Free admission.

00:46:37.340 Details at woodbuymohawkpark.com.

00:46:41.920 It's the Anthony Comey Show.

00:46:44.880 And we're just talking about The View. 0.96

00:46:47.680 30 years those disgusting messes have been on TV.

00:46:56.400 There have been changes over the years as far as who was on.

00:47:02.620 They'd get rid of one person, get another one, and it's just the same dreck.

00:47:08.840 But you may recall Rosie O'Donnell used to be part of The View.

00:47:14.360 She had her own talk show back in the 90s, and then she was on The View.

00:47:19.780 Then we've had to listen to her nonsense over the course of the years, 0.99

00:47:23.980 And then she shipped off to Ireland when Trump was elected this past election, a couple of years ago.

00:47:34.060 And now she's back.

00:47:36.660 She's back in New York doing a Broadway play.

00:47:42.020 And she still has things to say.

00:47:45.980 She still has something to say.

00:47:49.300 She has her opinions, buster. 0.96

00:47:52.040 and uh this first clip is just this is what this is what being a miserable left-wing liberal uh 1.00

00:48:05.180 phony is what she is uh turns you into just a depressed mess she her voice just sounds it's 0.99

00:48:16.220 always like i don't know i don't know what we're supposed to do at this point i i try i give my

00:48:24.860 all to and you're like jesus talk about you know picking yourself up by your bootstraps

00:48:31.900 do something she's just miserable constantly so here's rosie just talking um being depressed

00:48:40.780 talking about trump uh let's listen a little rosie ac1 and this war in gaza

00:48:47.800 i don't even know what to say about it anymore i don't know i don't know you know

00:49:00.780 it's very hard but never again means never again for everyone and uh

00:49:07.820 i don't know i was very undone by yesterday 9-11 remembrance my mind goes back the images i was in

00:49:19.460 new york the cast of everybody loves raymond was ready to come on and this happened and

00:49:25.300 you know chaos reigned supreme then ever since ever since armed guards and army uniforms with

00:49:33.540 machine guns on the george washington bridge and now we have ice this terrorist gestapo

00:49:38.300 it's too much for me it is terrorist gestapo on one hand she talks about 9-11 and the horrors

00:49:47.020 and the nightmare and then on the other hand she's lambasting the very organization

00:49:52.100 that that is trying to keep americans safe by not allowing murderers into the country

00:50:01.360 Maybe if there was an organization like ICE back before 9-11 watching the borders, working in concert with other law enforcement like the FBI and the CIA, local and state police, local governments.

00:50:20.260 Maybe if the governors and mayors worked with ICE instead of just releasing people,

00:50:31.140 maybe the country would be safer.

00:50:34.240 Within a split second, she goes from the horrors of 9-11

00:50:39.120 to calling the federal law enforcement agency that has been given the job of throwing people out

00:50:47.120 that have come in here illegally.

00:50:50.260 many of them to do no good. 1.00

00:50:53.360 That's how bent this woman is. 1.00

00:50:55.760 That's how twisted her mind is. 1.00

00:50:59.480 Oh, my God. 0.97

00:51:00.500 And that voice.

00:51:01.940 Could you imagine?

00:51:03.820 Oh, I don't even know what to do.

00:51:06.300 They say never forget.

00:51:07.620 Oh, God. 0.91

00:51:12.480 What a miserable. 0.92

00:51:15.380 How could you spend any time? 1.00

00:51:17.280 No wonder her daughter ran off, started doing drugs.

00:51:21.600 I have to listen to that all day.

00:51:23.980 How was school today?

00:51:25.560 Good.

00:51:26.100 I don't know.

00:51:27.980 Oh, it's all so terrible.

00:51:31.220 Well, don't fret, people.

00:51:33.820 We have another clip.

00:51:35.820 That's right, another clip of Rosie O'Donnell.

00:51:38.800 This is her talking about the Macklemore thing that went on.

00:51:42.640 macklemore said some stuff uh about palestine uh palestinians and uh he got thrown off of a tour

00:51:50.100 ed sheeran tour and uh she's all upset about this rosie o'donnell ac2 um i was thinking about it and

00:51:59.240 you know macklemore has done more for this subject than anyone

00:52:05.380 by the way he dealt with everything about this what he said initially not offensive

00:52:14.340 uh what he's talking about there's no equivalence

00:52:20.280 there's no equivalence you know you know

00:52:25.920 you're worried about your career and some money you might lose and

00:52:32.920 babies are being shot in the head

00:52:35.180 and we know about it

00:52:36.820 and we're doing nothing

00:52:37.800 don't you remember

00:52:38.740 when you learned about the Holocaust

00:52:40.040 and you thought

00:52:40.740 what are those people in Germany 0.97

00:52:42.240 why the f*** didn't they stop him 0.98

00:53:03.020 she just is

00:53:03.920 that's over

00:53:05.620 well she's right about that

00:53:07.260 network TV is over

00:53:08.920 but not for the reason

00:53:09.840 she thinks

00:53:10.560 my god woman

00:53:12.440 how did it happen 0.86

00:53:14.440 gotta talk a little bit more

00:53:16.400 about that

00:53:16.840 when we return

00:53:18.080 your calls

00:53:19.480 and we'll also talk about

00:53:20.540 Carrot Top

00:53:21.340 next

00:53:22.420 stick around

00:53:23.360 it's the Anthony Cumia show

00:53:27.100 on the Red Apple Podcast Network

00:53:29.360 The Anthony Cumia Show

00:53:32.480 Thank you so much for your support

00:53:35.760 tuning in on this Sunday

00:53:37.000 I know some people watch football

00:53:39.360 but

00:53:39.740 I just don't get it

00:53:43.000 Maybe because I can't bet on it

00:53:45.240 I can't

00:53:47.040 pick up my phone and make a wager

00:53:49.580 on football here in South Carolina

00:53:51.920 I hope that was Lindsey Graham 1.00

00:53:55.340 holding that up 0.90

00:53:56.460 I hope like Lindsey Graham was the guy down 0.99

00:53:59.200 in South Carolina that was holding up the online sports betting on your phone.

00:54:04.540 Because why on earth would I be interested in football, or any sport for that matter,

00:54:12.720 if I can't lay a little cash down on it, a little scuttle down on it, make it a little

00:54:20.100 more interesting?

00:54:21.440 But not yet.

00:54:24.040 We'll see.

00:54:26.480 Celebrity news.

00:54:29.200 boop, boop, boop, uh, Carrot Top, Carrot Top, you know, the funny prop comic guy, uh, the red

00:54:39.560 hair, uh, he tried to, uh, commit suicide. Yikes. He's been in a, a bit of a downer, I guess.

00:54:49.420 Uh, word coming in though, that it may have something to do with extortion.

00:54:56.340 extortion he may have been extorted uh been being extorted from uh somebody that is saying he tried

00:55:08.080 to sexually uh not assault he's not even saying that he made some type of sexual advance

00:55:18.660 toward this gentleman, Brian Evans.

00:55:24.100 Let's see.

00:55:25.060 Brian Evans tells TMZ that he had had a USB drive.

00:55:32.300 Where did he keep it?

00:55:33.320 Hmm?

00:55:34.480 Uh-huh.

00:55:36.020 With some, I don't know, some things that Carrot Top may have said,

00:55:45.180 some emails that he sent, some texts, pictures perhaps that this guy had held on to

00:55:55.380 and then allegedly, supposedly, was asking Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, for money.

00:56:06.100 saying, if you give me such and such money, 0.97

00:56:11.200 I won't spill the beans that you're going around trying to have sex. 1.00

00:56:17.520 Those men tried to have sex with me. 1.00

00:56:21.280 So did we all know Carrot Top was gay? 1.00

00:56:26.140 Did we know this? 0.78

00:56:27.980 I think we knew this, right?

00:56:30.560 Right?

00:56:31.380 Like Judas Priest?

00:56:33.560 You go like, oh, yeah, of course.

00:56:36.100 quirky carrot top, let's see.

00:56:44.700 This guy says he never threatened to post any video anywhere

00:56:49.280 in exchange for money.

00:56:50.920 The video they're discussing, as I made very clear,

00:56:54.900 was deleted a long time ago in accordance with the prior settlement.

00:57:00.840 Okay.

00:57:01.560 So there was a settlement already in place.

00:57:06.100 Oh, God. Imagine you got to start just paying money because of your own sexual deviancy. 0.99

00:57:17.240 You do things and then it's like, oh, God, now I got to pay money.

00:57:23.540 He added, I do not consider Scott to be a bad person based on what I know, but he made a few decisions that were not good ones.

00:57:31.480 this is not a reason to hurt himself.

00:57:36.080 How do you know?

00:57:37.280 How do you know what a reason is to hurt yourself

00:57:39.560 when you were the one that needed a settlement

00:57:43.160 in exchange for erasing a video that you got of Carrot Top?

00:57:49.960 I'm sure it wasn't a video of Carrot Top

00:57:52.220 riding around a stage on a tricycle with a car door on it.

00:57:56.080 It was that Gallagher.

00:57:58.360 He went on to say,

00:57:59.540 Finally, it's not my fault that Scott did what he did.

00:58:03.260 We don't even actually know what he did.

00:58:05.720 He survived, and I'm glad about that.

00:58:08.280 Scott is still young and has a big life ahead of him.

00:58:11.800 Look at this guy talking like he's his therapist.

00:58:17.820 It's not my intent to bring this guy down.

00:58:20.840 It's the opposite.

00:58:22.840 Bring him up.

00:58:23.700 was the first reported.

00:58:28.720 The 61-year-old's attorney claims Brian said

00:58:32.020 he would enter the alleged recording

00:58:33.980 into a court legal docket

00:58:36.640 unless Carrot Top's legal team

00:58:39.340 forked over a half a million dollars.

01:00:17.420 i was walking down the street and this guy came up and this is what ensued but gay guys that hook up 0.97

01:00:28.740 They don't have any, any reason to try to get money 0.89

01:00:35.900 or try to get criminal charges, civil case against it. 0.99

01:00:41.640 It just doesn't, gay guys are hooking up constantly. 1.00

01:01:05.640 I must have been drunk or this or that. 0.98

01:01:08.780 And I know people say this also, that women do this. 1.00

01:01:12.160 But they have a little more latitude. 0.60

01:01:13.740 For some reason, we've allowed women to say, I was drunk, so I have no responsibility in what happened that day.

01:01:23.920 meanwhile a guy could say i was drunk and you have all the responsibility of everything that

01:01:31.220 happened that day so i don't really understand that but it's the rules that are in place 0.90

01:01:36.740 but if it's two gay dudes you know you were just doing what gay guys do 0.53

01:04:05.260 How did the Germans, how did they allow that to happen? 0.96

01:04:10.000 What a simplistic, childlike way to look at things in the world. 0.98

01:04:18.860 And it's narcissistic.

01:04:21.580 You do not have the ability to put yourself in someone else's position to make that call

01:04:29.640 and say, oh, oh, that's why they did what they did.

01:04:36.440 It's something you can't comprehend.

01:04:40.560 To get people to do things that are looked at as atrocities,

01:04:47.900 you don't just say, hey, do that.

01:04:51.580 And the people go, oh, my God, that's terrible.

01:04:53.680 Why would I do that?

01:04:55.040 And then they just start doing it.

01:04:56.540 And this is throughout history.

01:04:59.040 Many different things throughout history you can put in this kind of a package.

01:05:07.680 It's a combination of a lot of things, and it's a lot of anger and sorrow.

01:05:16.960 You look at the Israeli-Palestinian situation right now.

01:05:23.980 uh look at november 6th look at what what happened was it october i'm sorry uh look what happened

01:05:35.060 and then they go rosie's like well they're shooting kids in the head and this and that

01:05:41.080 you're like yeah how do they do that and how do the terrorists do what they do

01:05:48.740 They feel like they've been put in a position where they're angry

01:05:55.860 and mourning on a minutely basis this is going through their head. 0.99

01:06:05.040 So don't, you know, Macklemore, ugh, shut up. 0.97

01:06:09.240 Macklemore is going to tell you. 0.99

01:06:10.660 He understands.

01:06:12.840 Rosie understands that Macklemore gets it. 0.85

01:06:17.180 Don't even try to shove your fat cankles into the shoes of people

01:06:24.020 that are genuinely angry and suffering on any side of any conflict.

01:06:31.480 Don't even try.

01:06:33.520 It's terrible.

01:06:34.800 I don't know.

01:06:35.760 All right.

01:06:58.340 The fear of the AI thing is getting way out of hand.

01:07:04.780 And look, the midterms are coming up.

01:07:07.920 Midterms, I think right now, as we stand right now,

01:07:12.820 I am not confident in the Republicans' chances of even holding on to what we have now.

01:07:22.740 It doesn't look good.

01:07:25.700 Once again, the mainstream media is a big part of bamboozling people.

01:07:32.840 They smear, they lie, they have an agenda, and that's an advantage.

01:07:40.600 You've got to give it to them.

01:07:41.720 And thank God we have social media because they took that away from us in 2020 when they saw how successful it was in 2016.

01:07:52.760 So going into the midterms here, it does.

01:07:57.300 I don't know.

01:07:57.980 It seems a little dicey, a little dicey.

01:08:00.700 Oh, so I don't.

01:08:03.980 I don't know, but they're pulling out all the stops and AI is another one of these things.

01:08:09.840 Donald Trump's take is, look, technology is what it is.

01:08:15.680 AI is one of the newer technologies that are having a huge effect on everyone's life right now.

01:08:24.260 And he doesn't feel like we should put the brakes on it while every other country, especially China, is on the fast track.

01:08:37.420 They will not stop.

01:08:39.840 And they will use AI in any way they can to get one over on us. 0.90

01:08:45.180 It's the way China has been with every single technology that's ever come out. 0.59

01:08:51.720 And when we're arguing and fighting as Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, 0.97

01:08:58.940 as we're fighting and not moving forward, they are.

01:09:04.980 And then they wind up beating us on things like manufacturing chips

01:09:09.680 and all kinds of other technological advancements.

01:09:15.100 So with AI, we're doing very well in this country

01:09:19.600 as far as the technology goes and the advancement.

01:09:24.940 And now they want to slam the brakes on it,

01:09:27.240 and they're being political about it.

01:09:29.500 They're saying that Trump and his cronies and the oligarchs want AI to run wild until we are all dead.

01:09:41.420 Bernie Sanders, of course, wants to put the brakes on AI, and it's purely political.

01:09:50.400 It's, again, one of these things that they've made it a partisan issue.

01:09:56.260 Republicans want it out of control so it could kill people.

01:10:00.440 And Democrats are the smart ones.

01:10:02.600 And they've all been using the word safe.

01:10:05.660 We just want to keep Americans safe.

01:10:09.020 AI is dangerous.

01:10:10.620 It's an existential threat.

01:10:12.880 Oh, the existential threat of the week.

01:10:15.100 Right.

01:10:15.940 Remember climate change was the existential threat?

01:10:19.500 Now it's AI.

01:10:20.760 So, Bernie, he posted this on X.

01:10:27.680 At a time when many of us are concerned about AI, becoming independent of human control, please read the following.

01:12:26.120 ban artificial super intelligence now leave it to uh the senators and congress people

01:12:34.740 to want to ban superintelligence.

01:12:39.660 They've been trying to ban that for years.

01:12:41.880 They've certainly been elected to office.

01:12:45.440 I can't think that there's many superintelligent people

01:12:48.160 that have been elected to office.

01:12:51.060 But yeah, ban artificial superintelligence. 0.99

01:12:55.740 Superintelligence.

01:12:57.060 I'll have the soup.

01:13:00.920 He doesn't even know what he's talking about.

01:13:03.540 can we really be real here do you think bernie sanders really knows what ai is

01:13:11.960 he's got some interns and a few people that work for him and they look things up and they put it

01:13:21.540 in a way that old bernie can understand and then he reads it and goes this sounds very dangerous

01:13:27.880 is this like the terminator and they go yeah yes uh senator it is like the terminator

01:13:35.680 well the terminator was very dangerous was he an oligarch no he was from the future he was a machine

01:13:42.900 and uh he was trying to change history ai could do that yes senator we must ban it

01:13:50.380 and that's where we stand and that's what all these politicians are like they don't get it

01:13:56.380 and again when has anything the government has pulled the alarm on been as bad as they said it

01:14:06.780 was going to be every single thing that they say is going to be really really bad it's never really

01:14:13.300 really bad it just it never ends up being all that bad i even think like adam bombs aren't that bad

01:14:23.040 I've got to be honest. 0.55

01:14:25.300 I don't think Adam Bob's are all that bad.

01:14:27.480 I think you could blow things up, and it's going to make a wreck of the place.

01:14:32.980 But I don't think it's like, well, you won't be able to inhabit that area for 10,000 years.

01:14:39.060 Yeah, I don't think so.

01:14:40.900 Have you seen Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

01:14:42.920 They're amazing metropolises. 1.00

01:14:45.480 Those Japanese got that up and running in record time,

01:14:51.760 and they look like the most modern futuristic cities you've ever seen. 0.98

01:14:56.320 Neon lights all over the place,

01:14:58.640 transportation systems that put our city's transport to shame.

01:15:05.260 They had atomic bombs dropped on them, for God's sake.

01:15:09.540 10,000 years later, it will still be a wasteland.

01:15:13.900 You get sushi there.

01:15:14.920 It's magnificent, under a nice moonlit sky in Hiroshima.

01:15:20.800 Oh, my God. 0.90

01:15:21.760 They lie to you about everything.

01:15:23.260 Climate change.

01:15:24.040 How many times did we watch politicians get up there and talk about the existential threat, climate change?

01:15:32.220 And they always put it off.

01:15:34.720 Uh-oh, six years, we're done.

01:15:37.580 When did he say that?

01:15:38.500 Oh, eight years ago.

01:15:40.360 I can do math.

01:15:42.820 I could look up the video of politicians saying that.

01:15:47.520 An inconvenient truth.

01:15:49.080 Remember that one?

01:15:50.560 Al Gore?

01:15:52.340 He had time limits, too.

01:15:54.180 Oh, yeah, by the 21st century, it's going to be over.

01:15:58.620 We're all going to, the ice caps will melt.

01:16:01.540 There won't be a Florida anymore.

01:16:04.800 And there's a Florida.

01:16:06.980 You look at the coastline pictures from the 1800s.

01:16:10.160 The first photographs of the coastline, they show Plymouth Rock.

01:16:15.320 There's a picture of Plymouth Rock from when they first got a camera.

01:16:21.100 And a picture of Plymouth Rock now.

01:16:22.980 The water level has not changed.

01:16:26.120 So I don't want to hear Florida's going to be gone.

01:16:29.120 But that's the danger.

01:16:30.660 And AI is the same exact thing.

01:16:34.480 Remember Y2K?

01:16:37.060 Remember just the Internet?

01:16:38.580 Well, this Internet sounds scary.

01:16:41.000 What if it decides to become sentient and take over all our stuff the more we depend on it?

01:16:47.220 Well, that's a danger we're going to have to worry about.

01:16:50.600 And then, you know, that was their fun little newscast about the dangers of the Internet.

01:16:57.400 AI is the same thing.

01:16:58.740 It's very useful.

01:17:00.540 It's very powerful.

01:17:02.580 But like the guy said in the movie War Games, 1.00

01:17:09.500 well, just unplug the damn thing. 0.99

01:17:12.640 Remember that? 1.00

01:17:13.700 It's going crazy.

01:17:14.740 It's going to launch nukes. 1.00

01:17:16.160 Just unplug the damn thing. 0.99

01:17:18.160 Of course, they couldn't in the movie, but I think we can now. 1.00

01:17:20.940 I think you just unplug it.

01:17:23.120 We'll see.

01:17:24.660 But, yeah, I don't believe the government when they say something's dangerous.

01:17:28.200 They have a motive, and it's fear.

01:17:31.720 And they're doing a good job.

01:17:33.180 Back in a minute.

01:17:33.980 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:17:39.860 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:17:42.740 This episode is brought to you by Spreaker,

01:17:45.080 the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

01:18:23.700 Start your show today at Spreaker.com.

01:18:26.400 Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour,

01:18:30.000 you might as well publish it.

01:18:31.900 I guess Trump posted a poll to change the name AI.

01:18:38.200 He doesn't like it.

01:18:39.600 Trump called AI technology the greatest economic development engine in history.

01:18:44.020 He just doesn't like this AI because it doesn't describe it well enough.

01:18:51.140 He calls it inaccurate.

01:18:52.420 and he posted something, floated around alternative names,

01:18:56.900 pitching superior intelligence, extreme intelligence like myself.

01:19:04.100 Then he asked his followers to vote on which one of the names

01:19:07.900 was the best for this growing evolution.

01:19:13.440 All right.

01:19:14.440 Who knows?

01:19:15.800 Let's call it Trump intelligence, America intelligence.

01:19:23.080 I don't know.

01:19:24.360 I find it funny, though.

01:19:27.320 Everyone's kind of freaking out about it.

01:19:30.220 And, yeah, I just don't see how bad it is at this point.

01:19:35.600 Maybe in the future.

01:19:37.600 Martin.

01:19:38.560 Martin from upstate New York.

01:19:41.400 Being vague, are you?

01:19:42.500 What's up?

01:19:44.020 Yes, sir.

01:19:44.600 I don't want to give out my exact location.

01:19:47.360 I got you.

01:19:48.380 So you're on in the morning, huh?

01:19:50.600 uh tomorrow morning i'm phil i'm filling in uh with the boss yeah i know yeah just

01:19:56.380 on the new york post yeah okay cool um so um yeah i agree uh that trump is probably doing

01:20:07.060 the right thing with his ai by getting some uh somebody who knows about it i don't personally

01:20:12.500 know a lot about it but i see he's getting uh somebody that knows about it to be uh like the

01:20:18.780 czar of AI. Yeah, he wants an AI

01:20:20.600 czar. I don't like that word. I've never liked

01:20:22.820 that word. It sounds very commie.

01:20:24.900 You know, it's very Russian. I know, yeah.

01:20:26.860 You're right, yeah. But still,

01:20:28.820 that's a good idea, though,

01:20:30.500 because there's

01:20:31.900 Modi,

01:20:34.500 the guy that runs that

01:20:35.880 tech guy,

01:20:37.840 what is it about these guys?

01:20:40.660 They want the government to step in

01:20:42.340 so that they are not responsible

01:20:44.640 when something goes wrong? Is that what it is?

01:20:46.820 what i've heard i heard part of it you know the that the politicians have been squawking that

01:20:52.420 look these guys even people that are in ai are saying it's dangerous and they want some kind

01:20:57.940 of control and then you look at the other side of the page and it says oh they kind of want no

01:21:03.120 responsibility they want the government to be responsible so they want the government to say

01:21:08.200 that they're regulating it yes so that they don't have to take any responsibility uh well it's

01:21:13.180 Strange that they would be asking government to come in for them.

01:21:16.820 And I agree, too, I agree.

01:21:19.920 Why would they extend an olive branch to man dummy? 0.94

01:21:24.100 The guy is obviously not, doesn't want to be Italian's friends. 0.95

01:21:29.460 I mean, he doesn't want to be a friend of anybody outside of his own kind of people. 0.79

01:21:34.900 So why extend an olive branch to this guy?

01:21:37.780 He's, the thing to do is try to get him out.

01:21:41.620 Try to get him out.

01:21:42.840 That's the thing to do.

01:21:44.020 It's all politics, Martin.

01:21:46.000 It's all like someone greasing someone. 0.94

01:21:49.440 He's suing the government because they want to give more welfare away to illegal immigrants. 0.86

01:21:54.240 So New York and these other states are suing the government because Trump doesn't want to give it away, give welfare to deadbeats. 0.95

01:22:03.760 I mean, this is nonsense. 0.97

01:22:05.260 This is total nonsense. 0.67

01:22:06.880 I got to move on, Martin.

01:22:08.380 But thank you for the call from upstate New York.

01:22:12.740 That used to be prison, where they send him, upstate?

01:22:16.200 Yeah, he's upstate.

01:22:18.900 Don't think it's just Bernie Sanders.

01:22:23.620 All the Democrats are piling on this AI thing, this danger, existential threat that only they can save you from.

01:22:33.340 Every politician sees equity in popping on a microphone and telling everyone how scary this is.

01:22:40.340 And, you know, Hakeem Jeffries, why wouldn't he?

01:22:45.580 The team Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, he wants to scare people with AI and use it to get votes and support for his teammates on the Democrat Party.

01:22:58.460 AC7, let's listen to Hakeem's scare tactic.

01:23:01.920 The AI safety issue is very real.

01:23:04.700 The Democratic plan is one that will be anchored in urgent, decisive, and responsible action to protect the safety, the health, the well-being of the American people in the face of threats that industry leaders themselves are now saying requires development in AI to slow down.

01:23:31.320 That's why it's so irresponsible that Mike Johnson and House Republicans have got out of town before Sunday, as opposed to working in the Congress in a bipartisan way, in a comprehensive way, to address the urgent issue of AI safety in the best interest of the American people and the world.

01:23:53.120 This is a serious issue.

01:23:55.200 It requires serious engagement and serious and immediate action.

01:24:00.060 like climate change please hakeem it's very dangerous he's just concerned with our safety

01:24:07.160 let me tell you something hakeem jeffries when i go to an atm to take money out i ain't looking

01:24:12.600 over my shoulder for an ai that's for sure but for some reason this is the scariest thing that

01:24:20.380 could happen to uh to uh uh earth to the planet right now i absolutely don't think that uh we

01:24:32.420 should uh curtail this at all it's an amazing technology do you know what what value ai has

01:24:41.760 for education alone and that's for people that don't even understand that ai has already been

01:24:48.580 uh put to work in this country every one of these amazing self-driving vehicles that you see

01:24:57.480 that's ai working with the mechanical parts of the vehicle to make it drive and not hit things

01:25:07.160 and get to you get you to your your destination but ai they just want to think of it as it's

01:25:14.280 going to be hacking everything people want life to be like a movie it's just too mundane daily

01:25:21.580 life is too dull and mundane so when someone hears ai hacked some other thing they instantly go to

01:25:31.360 terminator or some other amazing sci-fi movie where ai takes over and we're relegated to the

01:25:41.500 woods and we have to survive on our instincts and whatever weapons are left to us. No. No.

01:25:49.220 You ask at things. Hey, who was in that movie with that guy? And AI tells you. It's great.

01:25:57.960 If you don't know something, you ask AI and it tells you. I want to make a meme. Oh boy,

01:26:04.160 do I love making a meme and putting it on social media and getting comments on it.

01:26:08.860 Do you know what that took years ago?

01:26:11.860 Opening up Photoshop, finding a picture of the person you want to goof on,

01:26:18.440 and then taking out the background, putting them in another.

01:26:23.680 Sometimes it took hours.

01:26:26.780 Now, hey, AI, take Zoran Mamdani's head

01:26:32.460 and put it on the body of, I don't know, Godzilla,

01:26:39.880 and then it spits it out.

01:26:44.440 You're right there.

01:26:46.340 That's AI.

01:26:47.840 It's not coming to get you.

01:26:49.820 It doesn't say, I'll be back, and then comes back,

01:26:52.920 drives through your window.

01:26:54.160 But that's what they like you to believe.

01:26:58.540 The, I was going to say the Democrats,

01:27:02.120 But both parties, really, more so the Democrats, more so the liberals, they need villains.

01:27:09.140 They need bad guys to protect you from.

01:27:13.540 And there's just not enough bad guys.

01:27:16.620 So they make them up.

01:27:18.740 They lie to you and tell you that this is a threat to you and your safety.

01:27:24.000 And only we want to help you.

01:27:26.100 Those other guys, they don't even want to help you.

01:27:28.240 so we'll be the ones that'll keep you safe

01:27:32.340 and they just year after year

01:27:35.580 come up with new dangerous things

01:27:38.360 that only they can save you from

01:27:40.720 and AI caught on

01:27:43.700 it's interesting

01:27:45.560 it's one of those things that people

01:27:48.360 can't really wrap their minds around

01:27:51.080 so they can be easily misinformed about it

01:27:55.100 and that's where we are

01:27:56.780 It's where we are right now with AI.

01:27:59.860 Nothing is going to happen.

01:28:03.560 AI is not going to do something if it's left to its own devices,

01:28:10.640 if it's left to its keepers in these tech businesses, in these data centers,

01:28:16.260 without the likes of Hakeem Jeffries deciding how far it should go,

01:28:20.920 without Bernie Sanders on a big red button to stop the whole thing

01:28:25.680 when he feels it's getting out of hand, it'll be fine.

01:28:30.960 Nothing will happen.

01:28:32.900 Trust your buddy Anthony.

01:28:34.740 He knows.

01:28:35.820 Stephen in the city of New York, what's up?

01:28:41.020 And the loony left always tries to tell Americans,

01:28:45.920 oh, we're going to run out of Social Security money.

01:28:48.160 But they never talk about running out of welfare checks.

01:28:51.540 And the American people, this is it, folks.

01:28:55.680 No one else is going to say what I'm going to say. 1.00

01:28:58.120 Legal immigration has to come to an end. 1.00

01:29:00.980 They're bringing in 1.5 million third world is legally into America every single year to rearrange the furniture. 1.00

01:29:10.680 They're also giving out visas. 1.00

01:29:12.580 That's how they're getting in now.

01:29:14.000 They give out tourist visas, right?

01:29:15.960 Yep.

01:29:16.360 Who goes on vacation?

01:29:17.860 Who goes on vacation with all their worldly possessions?

01:29:20.460 Right.

01:29:20.960 I've been out to the airports.

01:29:21.980 I see these people coming in.

01:29:23.680 You go on vacation with seven, eight giant bags of luggage with all your world across, because they're not leaving.

01:29:29.940 That's why they're not turning over this country.

01:29:33.220 And then they come in. 1.00

01:29:34.240 They also come in pregnant. 1.00

01:29:36.300 And then they come in as refugees.

01:29:40.000 They come in looking for sanctuary. 1.00

01:29:43.400 And, you know, we're we again have to be the idiotic good guys for some reason. 1.00

01:29:49.180 Why can't we just be like everyone else in the world and go, you know what? 0.98

01:29:54.360 Yeah, we're full up or we don't have the resources for that anymore.

01:29:58.960 Unless there's someone.

01:30:00.720 Did you see that clip the other day of the farmer from South Africa? 0.94

01:30:03.980 He came here.

01:30:05.140 He's running a farm now.

01:30:06.660 He's contributing to this community.

01:30:09.160 He's paying taxes. 1.00

01:30:10.940 I would take those immigrants.

01:30:13.320 I will take immigrants, people that are knowledgeable, that have skills, that can help us as a country and contribute to the country.

01:30:22.460 This guy was a friggin' banner ad for immigration into this country. 0.99

01:30:29.900 But that's not who's coming. 0.79

01:30:31.800 This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

01:30:38.900 Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need, explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives,

01:30:44.200 and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio.

01:30:48.340 If this sounds familiar, you're probably already a podcaster.

01:30:52.080 The good news is Spreaker makes the whole process simple.

01:30:54.920 You record your show, upload it once, and Spreaker distributes it everywhere people listen.

01:30:59.100 Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen apps your cousin swears are the next big thing.

01:31:04.340 Even better, Spreaker helps you monetize your show with ads, meaning your podcast might someday pay for, well, more microphones.

01:31:15.460 Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it.

01:31:21.260 Well, last year, if you remember, Trump wanted to bring in 500 white South Africans.

01:31:25.980 Yep.

01:31:26.380 500 as refugees and Congresswoman Kotex. 1.00

01:31:31.440 I don't call her by that fancy letter name that Republicans give her and everything. 1.00

01:31:35.520 She complained.

01:31:36.680 Meanwhile, 100 million third world leaders have come into America and people are complaining.

01:31:41.720 Listen, it's the public.

01:31:43.360 Folks, you've got to realize it's the political corporate establishment that want them here.

01:31:47.420 They want them in America.

01:31:48.660 They want them in Europe.

01:31:49.720 And they want them in Australia. 0.95

01:31:50.980 And they want to turn this place over and destroy it. 0.91

01:31:54.020 You've got to realize some.

01:31:55.280 You know who they hate the most?

01:31:56.800 They hate patriotic conservative Americans.

01:31:59.480 They want us fighting with each other.

01:32:03.260 Does anybody remember about 9-11, a month and a half later,

01:32:06.820 they were arresting the firemen down at the Trade Center

01:32:09.940 because they wanted to stay there and get their buddies out

01:32:12.600 only because they found the gold in the vaults there and the silver.

01:32:17.280 Then they wanted the firemen out there.

01:32:18.840 That's what they do.

01:32:19.800 That's their trick.

01:32:20.740 They have patriotic Americans fighting with each other.

01:32:24.160 Well, Steve from Manhattan has been banned from many shows.

01:32:26.740 But like I always tell, I told Matt Blaze and all these other guys, you can't ban the truth, folks.

01:32:33.720 You cannot ban the truth.

01:32:35.160 I hear you, Stephen.

01:32:36.040 Thank you, my friend.

01:32:37.660 Here goes Steve.

01:32:39.000 He calls in every so often, sometimes under a pseudonym.

01:32:43.760 Well, we also got Congressman Greg Cesar.

01:32:48.260 Cesar.

01:32:49.180 Greg Cesar.

01:32:50.440 And he's trying to scare people about AI.

01:32:54.340 But he's using a different tack.

01:32:56.400 You know, a lot of people don't understand.

01:32:58.080 Like I said, they don't understand AI.

01:33:00.180 So when you scare people using AI, they'll be like, well, I don't even know.

01:33:06.620 I don't even know what that is.

01:33:08.440 So you've got to equate it with something.

01:33:10.900 You have to make people familiar with it by saying, well, it's like this.

01:33:16.940 And then you can really scare them. 0.90

01:33:18.640 Uh, listen to this insane moronic comparison that, uh, uh, Greg Cesar makes, uh, in this

01:33:29.040 clip, AC nine, but where I disagree is that I don't think we should in a democracy and

01:33:38.220 especially on an issue of such serious risk where countless people's lives could be in

01:33:44.640 danger be leaving these decisions just up to a few guys in a democracy actually everybody should

01:33:52.480 be able to decide what is and isn't safe and so the boeing ceo doesn't get to say i'm developing

01:33:58.280 a new super fast plane and yeah sometimes the pilots lose total control uh and it could break

01:34:04.880 laws or kill you but trust me i'll i'll make sure that everything's okay if the boeing ceo said that

01:34:11.520 the faa would say no that plane cannot fly and so i think that we the people should be allowed 0.98

01:34:18.560 to decide what isn't isn't safe not just a couple of ceos we the people should decide you mean you

01:34:27.000 not us oh he's using that old gag that they represent the people oh i see now i see where

01:34:35.800 was going with that that we the people should decide what's safe and what isn't and how far

01:34:42.600 ai should go oh do i get to decide who gets certain contracts do i get to decide uh decide

01:34:52.540 what type of regulations and licensing that these companies would have to pay the government

01:34:58.260 in order to to move forward with their technology do i get some of that because we the people

01:35:04.900 decided huh oh probably not i bet you do i bet you get a little something in uh in your envelope

01:35:14.160 oh my god these people and then try to equate it with aviation and planes yes the aviation industry

01:35:22.960 there is an an inherent danger in the aviation industry it's a heavy thing full of people way

01:35:33.320 up high. And if it stops working, it plummets to the ground. I can understand how we want

01:35:42.900 regulations on that. You don't want any Tom, Dick or Harry flying around up there, getting

01:35:48.560 in the way of people that are doing business up there. But to try to equate it to the danger

01:35:56.780 in the airline industry, whereas look at Boeing with the 757s.

01:36:06.240 There was a problem.

01:36:08.220 They were crashing.

01:36:10.020 And the government stepped in, said, yeah, that needs to be dealt with.

01:36:14.940 And they already have a federal aviation administration,

01:36:18.780 so it's not like there hadn't already been oversight.

01:36:22.820 They missed something.

01:36:24.360 if something happens with ai where people you can directly attach the the cause and effect

01:36:37.460 of people's deaths from ai thinking on its own doing something then i'd start listening to hey

01:36:48.340 boy we better we better look into this but it's not even a blip it isn't even something that we

01:36:57.520 we have to pay attention to or look at right now and they're over exaggerating the whole thing

01:37:02.960 trust me i play video games i know i know about the this uh high-tech uh technology thing

01:37:13.200 mm-hmm there's a couple of other people what is it 40 am just looking at my time

01:37:18.980 gotta look at my time oh i got i could go a little long on that one and here's um

01:37:24.660 uh mark kelly how did i want to play this one yeah i'll wait till after the break mark kelly's

01:37:33.680 the astronaut guy and uh he's a senator and he uh oh my god he it's one of those stories where you

01:37:42.480 You go, oh, I'll take things that never happened for 1,000, Alex.

01:37:46.700 He tells a story about being on a plane and someone, when he went to the bathroom,

01:37:53.900 someone dropped a note written on a napkin on his seat. 0.98

01:37:58.120 It sounds gay as hell, but I guess it's not. 1.00

01:38:04.020 Or it is. 1.00

01:38:05.580 We'll find out in a moment.

01:38:07.620 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network this episode is brought to you

01:38:15.260 by spreaker the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain symptoms

01:38:21.020 include buying microphones you don't need explaining rss feeds to confused relatives

01:39:03.340 The Anthony Comia Show.

01:39:04.740 So, yes, Senator Mark Kelly, he's an astronaut.

01:39:10.200 He's been up there at the space station.

01:39:12.980 He was up there for quite some time.

01:39:15.440 And I don't know, maybe that lack of gravity does something to your brain. 0.97

01:39:21.760 Banging around on that big, bald head of his. 0.98

01:39:27.060 He can't stand Trump. 0.96

01:39:28.880 He's one of these guys who just jumps on everything, just like the rest of them.

01:39:32.860 And I used to I used to think you had to be really intelligent to be an astronaut, but it doesn't seem you got to be too smart based on Senator Mark Kelly.

01:39:47.260 So Mark has been telling this story for a little while now about a plane trip that he took and a note, a note that was left on his seat.

01:39:58.760 Let's listen to Mark tell his little story.

01:40:03.340 Young people can't afford places to live, can't afford health care.

01:40:08.040 I was flying from Boston to Phoenix today, and a 25-year-old left a note on a napkin for me on my seat when I came out of the restroom.

01:40:18.100 It was there. It wasn't signed.

01:40:19.480 And he was pleading with me to just do something because he doesn't see any time in the future that he's going to afford a place to live or afford health care, be able to have a family or even kids.

01:40:33.660 There's a lot of anxiety out there.

01:40:36.460 I see it in my own kids as well.

01:40:38.900 It's not the same.

01:40:40.420 I mean, the concentration of wealth with the richest Americans just continues to go up.

01:40:45.760 And the rest of America is just left behind.

01:40:48.660 And that's the system that Donald Trump wants, and it's the system that these billionaires that fund him would like to continue.

01:40:58.540 Yeah, that didn't happen.

01:41:02.100 That did not happen.

01:41:06.540 First of all, let's take this piece by piece here.

01:41:11.460 i think if you're a a senator and uh you go to the bathroom and when you get back there's an

01:41:22.160 anonymous note on your seat from someone that seems pretty despondent about their lot in life

01:41:29.860 he's a young guy he doesn't can't afford anything he doesn't know if he'll be able to have

01:41:35.800 support wife and kids and a family this while it doesn't have any clear threat in it sounds like

01:41:43.080 someone who isn't happy and you can kind of extrapolate that a little bit you're on a plane

01:41:50.860 you're a senator on a plane an anonymous note written on a napkin is left in your seat

01:41:57.680 i'd have been up to the friggin flight deck and asking the pilot like is there any way to find

01:42:05.620 out who put this on my seat because it seems a little dodgy the second thing is how long was

01:42:14.160 this guy in the crapper guy's writing his whole life story i'm 25 i i'm not gonna sign it but i

01:42:23.720 don't feel i can make money and then he goes into the whole kids and wife thing and all while he's

01:42:28.920 in the bathroom taking a leak and why would you do that why wouldn't you come over shake his hand

01:42:36.680 and go hi uh senator kelly yeah my name's uh bob i'm 25 i just want to say i appreciate what you're

01:42:44.180 doing and we really need to do more that would be something that you would do if you really were

01:42:50.540 concerned about your your place in in 2026 and uh what politicians are doing and what you feel

01:43:00.000 they could do better leaving an anonymous note on a napkin on a seat while the guy you're just

01:43:06.920 sitting there waiting for him to get up to take a leak that is some creepy stuff you know things

01:43:13.800 can happen on the ground that you wouldn't think twice about and then they happen on a plane and

01:43:19.340 And, yeah, you might get a few hairs standing up on the back of your neck.

01:43:25.320 That's why I believe wholeheartedly that this never happened.

01:43:31.640 This is another one of those things.

01:43:33.900 You see them all the time. 1.00

01:43:34.960 You see some dumb liberal woman with a nose ring, and she gets her iPhone out, 0.99

01:43:42.000 and she goes, I was heartbroken this morning. 1.00

01:43:44.980 my three-year-old daughter came up to me

01:43:50.820 and she just rubbed the sleepies out of her eyes

01:43:54.540 and said, 0.96

01:43:55.460 Mama, Mama, is Donald Trump going to kill us? 0.58

01:44:01.400 Well, I didn't know what to tell her.

01:44:03.760 I don't want to lie to the girl.

01:44:06.000 And I didn't know what to say.

01:44:09.340 Didn't happen.

01:44:11.420 All these things that don't happen.

01:44:14.980 My five-year-old son came up to me, and they say he wants to be a girl,

01:44:20.820 so you put him in a dress, sent him off to school. 0.95

01:44:24.000 You weirdos? 0.80

01:44:26.300 Unbelievable.

01:44:28.060 It's a Mark Kelly, though, astronaut.

01:44:32.440 I used to respect the guy.

01:44:34.720 I love the whole space thing, space station, the shuttle back in the day,

01:44:41.000 SpaceX now.

01:44:42.020 i always gave any astronaut uh reverence be like oh my god takes a set of uh you know

01:44:51.920 get into a giant exploding thing and go into space i would never take that away from anybody

01:45:00.580 so i i had some type of reverence for this uh mark kelly guy astronaut mark kelly and now

01:45:09.320 Oh, you hear him just lying, lying about some note.

01:45:13.900 Who was this young lad that left me a note?

01:45:18.220 I'm going to go to the bathroom again, and I'm going to leave a note on my seat.

01:45:22.580 I left the door unlocked.

01:45:24.600 You can join me in the small little bathroom.

01:45:31.360 I don't know. 1.00

01:45:33.760 The show sure got gay tonight. 1.00

01:45:36.100 I don't know what happened, kids. 1.00

01:45:37.160 Sorry.

01:45:37.600 so it's not my fault

01:45:39.720 Mark Kelly's trading notes

01:45:41.840 with some anonymous

01:45:42.620 young 25 year old lad

01:45:45.040 on a flight from

01:45:47.860 Boston to Phoenix

01:45:49.140 I don't know

01:45:50.140 well good for him

01:45:51.500 he made an anonymous friend

01:45:53.040 and told the American people a lie

01:45:55.860 alright

01:45:56.960 we will return

01:45:59.040 for another hour

01:46:01.160 of the Anthony Cumia show

01:46:19.480 new york you have a choice to make like many people around the country do in november uh for 0.94

01:46:25.460 governor governor hochel has been in there uh since our last governor tripped over his own junk 0.96

01:46:34.940 And that was that. 1.00

01:46:37.560 Italian people always grope at weddings. 1.00

01:46:41.720 Remember that one, Cuomo's excuse for why he was feeling up a girl? 1.00

01:46:48.640 Yeah, weddings, I know.

01:46:50.180 I go to plenty of Italian weddings. 1.00

01:46:51.540 You just grab the cans of the closest girl near you. 1.00

01:46:55.440 We all understand.

01:46:57.420 But Hochul got the gig.

01:46:59.260 You had a chance to throw her out, and you didn't.

01:47:03.980 Lee Zeldin could have been your governor.

01:47:05.900 Nope. 0.91

01:47:06.340 You said, no, we want Kathy Hochul. 1.00

01:47:10.060 And now you have another chance to throw her out. 0.70

01:47:14.900 Will you do it?

01:47:16.240 Will you do it?

01:47:19.780 I have a clip from Governor Hochul, and this is something I think this is on a lot of people's minds

01:47:28.620 as far as what's important when it comes to your state and local officials. 1.00

01:47:36.960 Illegals. Illegals. 0.91

01:47:40.120 Making sure that the proper law enforcement authorities 1.00

01:47:46.640 have the resources they need to do their jobs

01:47:51.280 and making sure that people like Governor Hochul

01:47:55.320 are in contact with ICE

01:48:00.980 and whenever they have a problem

01:48:03.840 and the state police or local police

01:48:06.940 pick up somebody that is here illegally

01:48:09.060 there's no roadblocks put in the way

01:48:12.180 to handing them over to ICE

01:48:13.960 that sounds safe, right?

01:48:16.180 you're not doing anything to anybody

01:48:18.480 that doesn't deserve it 1.00

01:48:21.100 they're here illegally 1.00

01:48:22.360 but governor hochel she really doesn't care about your safety uh she cares about making sure 0.96

01:48:33.500 that illegals in this country are able to stay as long as they like forever without any consequence 0.58

01:48:41.800 no matter how horrible they are and that's governor hochel and you can hear it right from her 0.89

01:48:48.820 in this clip. AC6, please. From day one, I made it clear. We will not stand for flagrant abuses

01:48:56.120 of power by Trump's ICE here in New York. While mega cronies like my opponent, Bruce Flakeman,

01:49:01.020 are embracing ICE's aggressive tactics, I'm standing up to hold ICE accountable and protect

01:49:06.540 New Yorkers. That's why here in New York, we passed laws to rein in ICE. This includes,

01:49:11.120 one, allowing New Yorkers to sue federal agents when they violate their constitutional rights.

01:49:15.860 No one is above the law.

01:49:19.020 Two, making sure local cops are focused on fighting local crimes

01:49:22.840 because it's their job to protect and serve you and your community,

01:49:26.080 not act as Trump's ICE agents.

01:49:29.000 Three, keeping ICE out of sensitive locations like places of worship,

01:49:33.620 schools, health care facilities, and your own home without a warrant.

01:49:38.100 My top priority is keeping New Yorkers safe.

01:49:40.960 I'm proud to enact these strong, common-sense protections

01:49:44.040 for our communities and public safety common sense strong common sense and you hear how she

01:49:51.260 talks like all of them she talks just like all of them talk uh we're protecting new yorkers

01:51:52.160 what's a few years just to see is it better are there less illegal aliens running around

01:52:03.340 uh but like i said i just i don't have much faith i do not have much faith in in new york

01:52:12.340 i don't know it's terrible and then there's uh attorney general letitia james

01:52:22.140 yo letitia what letitia is doing uh helping again helping illegals let's take a look at

01:52:33.360 this story let me get it here there it is uh leticia james she said uh we won that's how her

01:52:43.400 post starts we won a second court order has stopped the trump administration from illegally

01:52:51.680 seizing commercial drivers personal records the win puts a stop to this unlawful demand and

01:53:00.740 He protects millions of commercial drivers from his invasion of privacy while our lawsuit continues.

01:53:09.240 We won.

01:53:11.560 Illegal seizing of commercial driver's license.

01:53:15.440 See, is that what Trump is doing?

01:53:19.080 Is that what law enforcement is doing when they're looking at CDLs that have been handed out by New York State?

01:53:28.700 California's got their own problem.

01:53:30.740 that's another state where they're just doling out commercial driver's license

01:53:35.220 to people that do not speak English,

01:53:38.600 have no clue about the basics of the rules of the road. 0.99

01:53:45.600 The crap holes, as Donald Trump called Haiti, 1.00

01:53:51.340 that these people come from, 1.00

01:53:53.120 if you saw how trucks and other automobiles,

01:53:58.140 along with donkeys hauling a cart and bicycles on the street.

01:54:03.460 If you saw that, it's incomprehensible how insane it is. 0.95

01:54:09.600 And then they come here, and to not be horrible racist people,

01:54:15.500 New York and California and many other liberal states

01:54:18.760 hand out commercial driver's license to these people.

01:54:22.360 and they go on in some cases to kill innocent people families is a horrible story

01:54:33.860 of a station wagon full of a family an entire family and uh this guy i guess in bangladesh

01:54:42.660 they can just hook a ue wherever they want what's going to happen a cow is going to run into him

01:54:49.920 and the guy did that did just that with a tractor trailer and the family was put right underneath

01:54:59.100 the tractor or the trailer and that was it dead and this guy nothing why why who and what i don't

01:55:08.940 know i don't know and we're just supposed to listen to what they're saying they're fighting

01:55:16.360 for us, Governor Hochul's fighting for the safety of New Yorkers, Attorney General Letitia

01:55:26.020 James considers it a win that the courts have stopped the Trump administration from being

01:55:33.520 able to look and see who is receiving commercial driver's license from the state of New York.

01:55:39.160 Look, it is the opposite of safety for New Yorkers and for other people around the country.

01:55:49.760 It is the absolute backwards opposite of safety. 0.97

01:55:56.120 They are protecting illegal aliens at the expense of the safety and lives of American citizens.

01:56:05.080 how how the hell do they remain in office as an attorney general as judges

01:56:13.480 it just doesn't stop and then you get new york and you got uh bruce blakeman

01:56:22.020 republican candidate something anything that might be different than governor hochel protecting

01:56:31.000 illegals? And what'll you do? What'll you do? Oh, Hochul, I know her name. Who's Bruce Black?

01:56:40.500 I never heard of him. Let me just pull the little lever for Governor Hochul. God, it's

01:56:48.980 infuriating. It is infuriating. I wish Governor Hochul was sitting on a plane and I was there

01:56:57.060 and she went to go take a long whiz. 1.00

01:57:02.180 She's definitely not going to change any type of women's sanitary products. 1.00

01:57:06.520 I think that ship has sailed. 1.00

01:57:09.700 And then I'd be able to write a little note.

01:57:12.300 Governor Hochul, I'm writing this anonymously.

01:57:15.800 What are you doing in there?

01:57:18.260 Could you not flush?

01:57:22.480 All right.

01:57:23.640 I'm kidding.

01:57:24.360 I wouldn't do that.

01:58:38.700 kind of like the idea of prisoners being in prison it's a whole connection with the name

01:58:46.580 prisoner prison but uh she doesn't like it i'll get to the clip after the break but she doesn't

01:58:55.080 like for-profit prisons either uh you know why there are for-profit prisons because if they had

01:59:04.160 to be funded by the likes of Pramila Jayapal, they wouldn't be funded. And we'd have to

01:59:13.480 do what we're doing right now, releasing prisoners because the prisons are full. Yeah, it's

01:59:21.380 a business. And business is good. They got to keep locking them up. And then she talks

01:59:27.520 about uh people that have mental issues and and when there's a problem with someone with mental 0.99

01:59:34.060 issues who should we send the police well hell no you send a mental health expert it's ridiculous

01:59:45.740 we'll play her clip next stick around it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:59:52.220 it's the anthony cummia show and uh you know so many of these politicians

01:59:59.120 uh they do not care not only about you personally about america i don't understand

02:00:07.220 how anyone can see it any other way when they are putting all of their energy to protect

02:00:15.740 illegal aliens in this country using every single loophole and law and activist judge

02:00:22.800 to try to throw roadblocks in the way of politicians including president trump who 0.79

02:00:30.480 want to actually do something about the the problem it it's a huge problem and then

02:00:38.700 Attorney General Letitia James says it's a win, a win that the Trump administration cannot look into commercial driver's license that were handed out in New York.

02:00:52.660 That's a right to privacy.

02:00:55.360 And really, is that why you're doing it?

02:00:58.260 Is that it?

02:01:00.540 Oh, my God.

02:01:01.240 So here's another one. 1.00

02:01:05.260 Pamela. 0.99

02:01:06.140 Pamelia.

02:01:07.080 Pamela.

02:01:07.360 uh jay pal and uh she wants to talk about prisons shutting down private for profit prisons and uh 0.52

02:01:20.260 she don't like when cops show up if there's some nut doing something nutty so let's listen to her

02:01:26.500 ac 10 we are here today to say this simple message shut it down shut it down shut it down

02:01:36.100 Shut down the private for-profit detention centers, stop the incarceration of 65,000 immigrants in these facilities every single night at enormous cost to taxpayers and enormous cruelty to detainees.

02:01:54.180 Stop treating people like animals with rotting food, dirty and insufficient water, and terrible medical care.

02:02:02.140 We demand justice and accountability for all of this, and we will shut it down.

02:02:09.540 That is exactly what my bill, Dignity for Detained Immigrants, does.

02:02:14.560 It shuts down all private for-profit prisons.

02:02:19.180 It ends the use of mandatory detention.

02:02:22.860 It ends family detention, and it ends the detention of pregnant and vulnerable people. 0.51

02:02:27.860 it finally puts dignity decency and humanity first not for americans that is insane

02:02:38.320 she says immigrants they will say immigrants instead of illegal immigrants and we know 0.98

02:02:46.620 they're illegal immigrants she's talking about animal treated like animals rotting food have we

02:02:54.340 heard any reports of of running aside from people like this that just get out there and lie 0.91

02:03:12.860 uh send them home they're they're beggars here they're they're on the government till 1.00

02:03:22.420 dignity means working getting out there uh caring for a family maybe making your

02:03:31.880 homeland better i don't know being on welfare doesn't sound like a very dignified thing

02:03:39.640 the path to dignity oh they come up with the names of these bills it's such nonsense oh my god

02:03:48.560 And that's what we're dealing with.

02:03:51.560 That's the opposition.

02:03:54.180 That's who we're fighting.

02:03:55.520 We're fighting people who are fighting us, who are fighting America, 1.00

02:04:00.920 whose constituents, the people they want to represent, are illegally here, 0.70

02:04:08.500 taking your tax dollars for your hard-earned pay, 0.99

02:04:14.260 and they don't give a crap about that. 0.91

02:04:17.560 They'll look you in the face and go, dignity for detained immigrants. 0.99

02:04:23.400 Dignity to be treated like animals. 0.94

02:04:28.000 Don't you love hearing that from someone?

02:04:29.280 Maybe you can't afford this month's rent or you're eating ramen noodles.

02:04:35.300 But dignity for the illegals.

02:04:40.820 How they stay in office, it's beyond me. 1.00

02:04:43.880 I'd hate to imagine that there's that many retarded people in this country voting. 1.00

02:04:50.700 But what other conclusion can I come to? 1.00

02:04:55.060 They have to be brain damaged. 0.98

02:04:58.560 Holy moly. 0.93

02:05:01.800 It's unbelievable.

02:05:04.180 John from Brooklyn.

02:05:06.120 What's up, John?

02:05:08.020 Hey, Anthony.

02:05:08.880 How you doing, man?

02:05:09.940 All right.

02:05:10.540 You know, what's going on?

02:05:12.220 Yeah, I've been a fan since Boston days.

02:05:16.640 Oh, thank you. 0.95

02:05:17.360 The old AAF days.

02:05:18.440 Yeah, thanks, man.

02:05:19.360 Oh, man, you guys are great, man.

02:05:21.380 You can't do that stuff today.

02:05:22.840 That's forget about that.

02:05:23.660 Hell no.

02:05:24.300 I couldn't do it then.

02:05:25.560 We got thrown out of Massachusetts.

02:05:28.400 I just want to ask an honest question to you.

02:05:30.640 You think he's going to win the midterms?

02:05:34.920 Really, an honest question.

02:05:36.360 I'm asking you an honest question.

02:05:38.380 Right now, no.

02:05:40.320 No, I don't think the Republicans are going to win the midterms.

02:05:43.500 I think, I feel, I have a feeling it's going to be worse than we even think it's going to be.

02:05:50.900 Thank you.

02:05:51.580 But I'm saying if the Democrats come back, he's going to lose everything.

02:05:56.500 Yep, I know.

02:05:58.380 Here's one, maybe a glimmer of hope, John, and I was thinking about this the other night.

02:06:05.680 Let's say the midterms are an abomination, just a blowout.

02:06:10.960 The Democrats win the House and the Senate.

02:06:14.600 And Senate. 0.99

02:06:15.560 Trump, yeah, Trump is a lame duck president. 0.99

02:06:19.100 Nothing gets done. 0.99

02:06:20.740 They start with their impeachment stuff.

02:06:24.260 They do this.

02:06:24.960 They have all those programs for welfare and all that.

02:06:29.100 Then, 2028, this might be a good thing because then people will be like,

02:06:33.500 Oh, my God, these Democrats have had everything up.

02:06:36.540 So now for the presidential election, people might be more apt to vote for a Republican.

02:06:42.140 It might be, you know, sacrifice two years of a Trump administration the last two years to get a four year or maybe eight years out of 2028.

02:06:51.820 I don't know.

02:06:53.120 But the point I'm getting at, these people are not right, man.

02:06:56.960 No, they're not.

02:06:57.660 AOC is going to run for president?

02:06:59.540 Are you kidding me?

02:07:00.880 Come on.

02:07:02.040 Come on.

02:07:02.800 Are you kidding me? 1.00

02:07:05.380 This woman got rocks for brains. 1.00

02:07:07.940 She don't know nothing, and she's running for president.

02:07:11.440 We need some common sense, basic common sense, John.

02:07:15.680 These people today, man, they don't have common sense.

02:07:18.780 I know.

02:07:19.140 I'm living in Brooklyn, and you're voting for a guy.

02:07:22.540 These young kids heard about a bus-free, free buses, free hog college, and they voted for him.

02:07:28.720 That was it.

02:07:29.760 Free buses, the grocery store.

02:07:31.540 He does TikTok videos just like them.

02:07:34.660 Oh, it was great.

02:07:37.740 I don't know, John.

02:07:38.820 It's unbelievable, man.

02:07:40.460 I'm just saying, thanks, Ant.

02:07:42.160 I just wanted to talk to you, man.

02:07:43.520 You're great.

02:07:44.460 I love you.

02:07:45.560 I've been in all your things.

02:07:48.240 It was awesome, man.

02:07:49.260 Back in the days, it was the best times.

02:07:51.220 Thank you, my friend.

02:07:52.280 I appreciate the call, man.

02:07:53.820 Later.

02:07:55.160 There goes John from Brooklyn, but via Boston?

02:07:59.600 oh boy that's another city that's just you know i just never imagined it would all go go bad so

02:08:08.020 fast maybe it's just relatively speaking fast it's been a few decades so relatively speaking

02:08:15.980 maybe it hasn't been fast but when i was up in boston doing radio up there boston was a whole

02:08:22.680 different city i mean you had different areas where there were more liberals and stuff especially

02:08:27.700 being such an academic city with the colleges and whatnot but there were this episode is brought to

02:09:22.880 areas of boston that were just amazingly fun all the saudi hooligans and and the bars and 0.98

02:09:32.340 uh you know no one cared about being called sexist homophobic racist islamophobic 0.98

02:09:39.500 now you got that mayor woo holy jeez just throwing your tax dollars again at illegals 0.96

02:09:48.100 it's like the cities that don't have as many illegals are are trying to get more it's like a

02:09:55.560 game oh new york and california have illegals why can't we get a bunch and it is because they get

02:10:02.860 federal dollars and uh they get votes so i don't know man it's uh it's grim is that the word i'm

02:10:14.200 looking for it's grim when uh you look at things um in that way because you lose confidence

02:10:24.280 in the people voting which when bad people get into office you lose confidence in the entire

02:10:33.620 system uh i don't have this illusion that anything's ever really going to get done

02:10:41.380 Well, what do you hear coming out of the Capitol?

02:10:44.320 I'll be right back with that thought in a moment.

02:10:47.600 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:10:53.420 The Anthony Cumia Show.

02:10:55.220 Hey, I was just talking about, you know, the Capitol.

02:10:59.480 You never see anything come out of there anymore.

02:11:02.840 There's nothing happening.

02:11:05.360 The Republicans this time were the ones that just tucked tail and ran.

02:11:10.380 Uh, but years ago, even when we had this impression, this feeling that the left and the right, the Democrats and Republicans didn't get along, there was actually bipartisan legislation that came out of the Capitol.

02:11:28.640 You would always hear a news story about a bill that was going through and they'd argue about it and there were compromises made and then it was signed.

02:11:38.920 And when was the last time you heard about any of that?

02:11:43.700 Nothing's bipartisan, by the way.

02:11:47.120 Any side, either side needs a majority to get anything through.

02:11:54.020 And I don't think that's the way it was supposed to work.

02:11:57.720 But, you know, I remember growing up, Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill, you know.

02:12:04.040 and they would constantly be at each other's throats

02:12:08.940 about some bill and some law and some legislation

02:12:12.800 and then they work it out

02:12:14.500 and you'd see them drinking a beer together

02:12:17.100 on St. Paddy's Day or something.

02:12:19.260 That is gone.

02:12:22.020 That type of, I guess, camaraderie in a way.

02:12:27.460 You know, they knew they had a job

02:12:29.220 And that job was to make America a better place, enact legislation that was good for the country, and they could compromise on things because they both had that same ideology in mind.

02:12:48.920 Maybe different ways of attacking it and different takes on how much money should go to one thing or the other.

02:12:54.640 we are so divided now that the two sides don't even resemble the same country it's like we're

02:13:04.060 in two different places where nothing one side does is anything the other side wants to do

02:13:11.120 and that's where we're at and uh boy i certainly don't see that changing anytime soon and it's not

02:13:19.060 just the government it's the people this whole country is divided like that so what do we got

02:13:26.120 you know hopefully a president hopefully we can get a president that can step into office and

02:13:33.300 unite the american people under one flag the american flag and bring us back to a time where

02:13:42.800 petty instances of little disputes and debates

02:13:49.880 can be overcome with reason, logic, and pride in America.

02:13:57.140 And that person could be Kamala Harris.

02:14:01.380 I can't even say it with a straight face.

02:14:04.960 Kamala Harris, here's another. 0.99

02:14:07.580 I guess is she considered a 2028 hopeful now? 0.93

02:14:11.780 Is her hat being thrown in the ring?

02:14:15.560 Is she looking for the nod for the Democrat ticket?

02:14:21.180 Well, AC8 is the clip, and let's hear, as if we haven't heard enough from her,

02:14:28.000 another jumble of rambling babble from Kamala Harris. 0.99

02:14:35.140 there was somebody who basically suggested that one of the problems with kamala harris

02:14:41.720 is she's not humble and my response without reflection because it's just how i feel i don't

02:14:47.460 aspire to be humble you're not and it's very dated if not just traditional but a very dated

02:14:54.980 perspective on who women should be to say women should be humble women who says that women should

02:15:00.140 laugh quietly i have never felt burdened by those very dated by what could be things that were

02:15:06.600 standards of what some people think makes for a a good woman i'm so happy you're here one of the

02:15:13.300 things that earlier generations of women were not intentional about that i think younger generations

02:15:18.620 are is to not be embarrassed about your ambition i have always said i want and applaud that you

02:15:25.840 will be ambitious dream with ambition live and lead with conviction she says nothing i'm so happy

02:15:36.080 every time she says something because it reminds everyone that she's quite frankly saying nothing

02:15:42.860 lead with ambition and why what does that even mean you know women you know people want women to

02:15:52.580 speak quietly and laugh quietly who where are we little house on the prairie 0.89

02:15:59.100 when when is this go on any public transportation system women aren't being quiet i'll tell you that 1.00

02:16:07.860 much especially certain women on those trains uh very loud very loud indeed what is she talking 1.00

02:16:18.140 about she's talks to women and hillary clinton does this too i guess all these dummies do it

02:16:25.440 they they coddle women and talk to them like it's 1800 like the 1800s or it's 1904 i'll give you a 1.00

02:16:36.100 good date there 1904 and women you know we can get out there in the workplace we don't have to sit

02:16:45.880 home and churn butter or spin wool what who what time machine did you jump into unbelievable that's

02:16:58.540 that's what that's how they divide that's how they divide men and women by the way

02:17:04.860 because we're divided all over the place on every single line racial sexual political 0.92

02:17:12.080 food

02:17:14.380 whatever it is there's a division

02:17:16.700 and to get 0.99

02:17:18.560 women and men divided

02:17:20.820 that's how you 0.98

02:17:22.760 do it you coddle 1.00

02:17:24.620 the women as a woman politician 1.00

02:17:26.340 and look at them and go look at what I've 0.99

02:17:28.720 achieved I do this because

02:17:30.640 I'm not humble

02:17:31.480 I'm Kamala Harris

02:17:33.880 and you could do things too

02:17:36.400 yeah

02:17:37.960 I have been

02:17:39.520 every woman should be like yeah

02:17:42.000 I'm doing what I do. 1.00

02:17:46.840 And I raise my kids and I have a husband or whatever. 0.99

02:17:49.420 Like that's the vast majority of American women. 0.99

02:17:52.900 You have to talk to them. 1.00

02:17:54.360 Like the guy rides out on his horse to the mill every day and leaves her

02:17:59.460 home to crochet another blanket.

02:18:04.840 Oh my God.

02:18:06.500 It's all based on division.

02:18:09.800 All based on division.

02:18:11.920 God, this guy, I'm curious now what his call is

02:18:14.600 because he says, someone you sound like.

02:18:18.480 I have to take it.

02:18:20.580 It's Dan in Nevada.

02:18:23.020 What's up, Dan?

02:18:25.060 Not a whole lot, buddy, and yourself.

02:18:27.040 Fabulous show.

02:18:28.320 Second time caller.

02:18:29.660 Doing good, doing good.

02:18:31.560 Wonderful.

02:18:32.620 I don't know if you've ever been told this or not.

02:18:34.520 It seems like you are smart as your compadre, Walter Sterling.

02:18:42.860 He sounds almost like the Bruce Williams of the airwaves.

02:18:47.340 But regarding knowing basically the proverbial rear from a hole in the ground, you guys do.

02:18:56.260 And I hope that the Democrats do really bad because you know what Trump said.

02:18:59.960 I'm looking forward to that $5,000.

02:19:02.140 How about you, buddy?

02:19:02.940 Oh, watch that language. 1.00

02:19:05.140 I hope we dumped out of his potty mouth over there. 0.98

02:19:08.360 I had a sixth sense about me that he was going to drop an S-bomb or an F-bomb. 0.90

02:19:15.000 He went for DEFCON 1 over there.

02:19:18.740 Or is it 5?

02:19:19.660 We never know.

02:19:20.600 I never know which one's the bad one.

02:19:23.040 Is it 1 or 5? 1.00

02:19:24.180 Just unplug the damn thing. 1.00

02:19:26.460 There you go. 1.00

02:19:27.820 F-bomb. 0.99

02:20:44.800 to talk to yourself for an hour you might as well publish it oh this is fantastic uh amy poehler

02:20:54.840 Amy Poehler had Bob De Niro on her podcast.

02:20:59.000 She's doing very well with this podcast.

02:21:02.260 This is what happens. 0.97

02:21:03.220 Hollywood people, they get this bug to do podcasts,

02:21:07.140 and then some company will pay them sick, sick amounts of money to do that podcast.

02:21:16.240 And they get really good listenership at first,

02:21:19.580 and then people realize like oh oh they're not very good at this and uh it goes uh down the

02:21:27.500 turlet but she's doing good not as good as she was when she started but still doing good and

02:21:33.340 she's getting the guests the a-listers my friend and uh i don't think you could find more of an

02:21:41.040 a-lister than bobby de niro may have heard of him casino goodfellas raging bull taxi driver

02:21:50.380 brocky and bullwinkle uh i think that was was that the beginning of the end

02:21:58.660 or analyze this people like analyze this the one where he was the mob boss with

02:22:05.880 psychological problems um but i think rocky and bullwinkle was really when people went

02:22:14.600 wait what what is de niro doing and then he opened his mouth about politics and life in general and 1.00

02:22:23.020 and we went oh oh no he's an idiot oh i hate that he's an idiot but he is and now he is just 1.00

02:22:35.880 A king of the Hollywood idiots. 1.00

02:22:38.660 So Amy Poehler has him on, and she's trying to conduct an interview. 1.00

02:22:43.360 I swear, if somebody at the radio station said,

02:22:48.020 Anthony, you're not going to believe this.

02:22:50.720 Next week, Bob De Niro is your guest.

02:22:54.040 I would say, yeah, no, I'll pass.

02:22:57.260 I'll pass on Bob De Niro.

02:23:00.020 I'll take Jimmy Florentine in a second before I take Bob De Niro.

02:23:05.600 I take Jim Norton.

02:23:09.000 This guy is a bore fest.

02:23:13.480 He has nothing.

02:23:15.200 And it goes, it's exactly what I said about actors.

02:23:19.800 If you're a good actor, it means that you don't have anything in your head

02:23:25.260 that's going to distract with the character that you need to be.

02:23:30.020 So if you have a really good personality, you're yourself, you're smart,

02:23:36.360 you think a lot about things, life in general, whatever,

02:23:41.240 I don't think you'd make a good actor.

02:23:43.520 When you have to stand there and they open the top of your head

02:23:47.920 and the writing staff comes by and they dump all the words in your head

02:23:51.760 and then the director comes over and he puts marks on the floor

02:23:55.960 and he goes, when you say that, be here.

02:23:59.320 and you go, okay, and they're good at that

02:24:04.080 because there's nothing else in there.

02:24:06.160 I truly believe that's what makes a good actor,

02:24:08.640 and De Niro is just proof positive that my theory is correct.

02:24:13.300 Whenever he's been on a talk show,

02:24:15.540 and that's why he never used to do talk shows, 1.00

02:24:19.280 he's a dull, boring, asinine man, 1.00

02:24:26.640 and he's proved that time and time again 1.00

02:24:29.840 because he's doing more talk shows and media

02:24:32.840 because he's got an angle now

02:24:34.580 and it's the I hate Trump thing 0.95

02:24:37.040 I'm a tough guy, I'm a mobster 1.00

02:24:39.260 I'm going to beat him, he's a mutt 1.00

02:24:42.780 and I'm going to, no, no, no 1.00

02:24:45.640 no, a little bit, you said that, a little bit

02:24:49.140 and this is his new tough guy

02:24:51.980 at 80 years old, going to beat up Donald Trump 1.00

02:24:56.360 So Amy Poehler is just waxing this guy, just glazing him, kissing ass. 1.00

02:25:03.580 And he had nothing. 1.00

02:25:06.240 He literally sits there and goes, yeah, yeah, yup, yeah, yup.

02:25:12.560 That's your interview with Bob De Niro?

02:25:15.360 I don't even think we can make it through this whole thing.

02:25:17.840 Let's play it until I cannot take any more.

02:25:20.800 Amy Poehler and Bobby D.

02:25:22.280 and i i just want to say as we wrap um you know i i i just personally want to thank you

02:25:30.720 for like doing what you do and speaking out in the way that you do about where we are in the world

02:25:36.600 there's a lot of people um that are asked to speak truth to power and they're usually

02:25:42.880 you know members of the like the margins there are people that are young don't really have as much

02:25:50.500 currency or a footing as other people it's often people of color it's often women and 0.66

02:25:58.040 to see a person like yourself the age that you are and the status that you are a second

02:26:03.760 i mean she's talking to him like what he's saying about trump and about america and about what

02:26:14.980 makes this country great and what doesn't make this country great like his take politically 0.68

02:26:22.980 is some courageous brave thing in the hollywood community like this is textbook hollywood jackass

02:26:34.620 and and she's thanking him for taking a stand that she doesn't see people taking it's everybody in

02:26:43.900 hollywood every single person unless you want to be thrown out of hollywood and there have been

02:26:49.980 some people that that has happened to so for her to just it's just you know you doing this i just

02:26:57.780 want to thank you oh really taking some chances there amy yeah continue reminds me of the best

02:27:07.440 way i can describe it is when it's like if someone's giving a terrible speech at a wedding

02:27:14.580 and they're ruining the wedding and the wedding is america and yeah and there's another adult

02:27:22.300 who says like we don't talk like that that's not how you're supposed to treat people this is insane

02:27:27.100 yeah it makes everybody feel very safe and so i've seen you do it over and over again and i

02:27:32.080 really appreciate it safe thank you thank you yeah it means a lot to a lot of people because

02:27:38.900 you're standing up for a lot of people who don't have the power to do that listen to this interview

02:27:42.920 thank you bob and thanks for doing it over and over again and this is going to be a real switcheroo

02:27:58.220 But it is true.

02:27:58.980 Turn it off.

02:27:59.700 It is.

02:28:00.040 Turn it off.

02:28:01.700 Turn it off.

02:28:03.900 Remember Hardcore George C. Scott?

02:28:05.860 Great movie.

02:28:07.620 I mean, are you serious?

02:28:10.480 She just glazes him up and down.

02:28:13.040 He sits there and says nothing but, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:28:16.840 And then she finishes.

02:28:18.760 She thinks she might be in a spot where he might say something.

02:28:21.780 And he goes, thank you.

02:28:23.420 And he starts crying.

02:28:24.480 oh it's okay peepaw peepaw don't cry you miss me ma

02:28:33.300 my dad used to call me pissy eyes when i'd cry now it's bob de niro

02:28:57.560 I'll poke your cheeks. 0.90

02:29:00.560 Bobby.

02:29:03.340 He started crying in front of Amy Poehler

02:29:06.640 because she said he was doing things that weren't very brave

02:29:10.720 or dramatic or out of the ordinary for Hollywood.

02:29:14.800 Oh, how the mighty have plummeted.

02:29:18.860 It's embarrassing.

02:29:20.400 It's embarrassing.

02:29:21.920 What are you doing?

02:29:23.180 You going to cry?

02:29:24.280 Do things you don't do.

02:29:25.980 Don't rat on your friends and never cry in front of Amy Poehler.

02:29:32.640 Oh, now look. 0.99

02:29:35.120 He's a regular schnook. 1.00

02:29:36.380 He's a schnook. 1.00

02:29:38.820 Oh, God. 1.00

02:29:40.460 All right.

02:29:41.660 We'll talk about when we get back from the break. 1.00

02:29:45.820 Oh, Mamdani's toilets. 0.79

02:29:48.780 Mamdani's toilets.

02:29:50.400 I watched a short little segment.

02:29:55.400 I think it might have been on one of the old news shows.

02:29:57.620 Not 60 Minutes, but 2020 or one of those.

02:30:00.860 And it was back in the 90s.

02:30:03.480 And they had tried this.

02:30:05.780 They had tried this outdoor public toilet in New York.

02:30:12.460 And they're trying it again.

02:30:14.940 I don't have high hopes for this. 1.00

02:30:18.100 The Mamdani toilet. 1.00

02:30:19.720 But back in a minute.

02:30:21.280 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:30:27.040 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

02:30:28.920 I want to thank everybody for tuning in.

02:30:30.660 We really do appreciate it, man.

02:30:33.960 And, yeah, Zorm and Danny, he's got another brilliant idea.

02:30:38.940 He couldn't bring you the free, fast buses.

02:30:42.900 And I'm sure he apologizes wholeheartedly for that.

02:30:48.060 But what he is giving you are quarter million dollar each toilets that will be distributed around the five boroughs of Manhattan.

02:31:00.540 And if it says these things will cost two hundred thirty five thousand dollars, I'm going to say probably a half a mil at least, maybe three quarter.

02:31:09.980 Because, again, it's a government thing.

02:31:12.220 Four million dollar plan to offer relief to the city's public bathroom crisis.

02:31:18.060 Uh, his honor initially announced the $4 million plan in January is the first step to add the

02:31:23.940 measly 1,100 public restrooms in the city for 8.6 million people.

02:32:20.860 here's my take on public bathrooms in major cities if you're in the city new york city 0.79

02:32:32.520 and you have any business being there and you're not a parasite

02:32:38.500 you got somewhere to go to the bathroom like i gotta be honest i've had to go to the bathroom 0.96

02:32:46.600 in new york city oh yes even i have had to go to the bathroom in new york city uh when i worked

02:32:53.000 there i would go to the bathroom in the place i worked go figure if i was out grabbing um

02:33:02.440 some lunch something dinner maybe i would go in the place i am getting food at the restaurant or

02:33:10.620 what have you and if i'm just wandering the streets and i have to go uh there will be a bar

02:33:18.180 and i will go in i'll order a beer because i don't just walk into their bathrooms you you have to buy

02:33:26.620 something i'm a big firm believer in that and then i go to the bathroom i come back either i finish

02:33:33.540 the beer or maybe i just a couple of swigs that's the cost of me going to the bathroom in a place

02:33:39.040 where there were no bathrooms a few bucks for a beer okay uh the only people that need bathrooms 0.87

02:33:48.040 to be airdropped into a major city are bums, homeless, drug addicts, 0.98

02:33:56.180 degenerates, thugs, all the people that should be locked up in jails 0.98

02:34:03.060 or in mental institutions. 0.98

02:34:05.500 Those are the only people that are going to be using this.

02:34:08.680 You're a tourist.

02:34:10.200 Again, you're going into places.

02:34:11.920 You're spending money.

02:34:12.740 You have your wife, your kids.

02:34:14.200 They've got to use the bathroom. 0.63

02:34:15.300 There are plenty of places.

02:34:16.860 Or your hotel.

02:34:18.040 You're staying in a hotel. 1.00

02:34:19.240 They've got plenty of bathrooms. 1.00

02:34:21.600 These public bathrooms are going to be specifically for the lowest life forms wandering Manhattan.

02:34:30.560 And they will let it be known that they have been there.

02:34:34.680 The walls.

02:34:36.740 The walls will look like I got 20 different things.

02:34:42.900 I don't want to say it, but I can't say them on regular radio.

02:34:45.680 How about like Willy Wonka's river, the river of chocolate?

02:34:53.940 That's what's going to happen.

02:34:56.060 Every little thing, the sink, the towels, the decorative things will be torn apart

02:35:03.640 if you can even get in there because the homeless are going to live in those things.

02:35:08.740 this is a an innovation a thing for a different time or a different dimension

02:35:17.240 i can only imagine this type of technology being available in the 50s 1950s new york

02:35:25.580 oh my god some guy with his fedora and his his coat a nice coat and suit he just had some drinks

02:35:35.360 with his buddies after a hard day of work.

02:35:39.020 And maybe some of that martini is working its business on his gut.

02:35:44.280 He's got to go.

02:35:45.980 He's going to go in there and do his business.

02:35:48.780 This was marvelous. 0.94

02:35:50.700 What a great crapper.

02:35:53.420 But who's using it now?

02:35:57.240 And like I said, I watched this segment on a news program.

02:36:01.300 I think it was John Stossel, if you want to look it up at home.

02:36:04.600 and he did a thing

02:36:06.580 and it was like a booth.

02:36:09.080 It was like a toilet booth

02:36:10.620 and you went in, you had to pay a quarter

02:36:13.200 but you went in

02:36:14.920 and everything was self-contained

02:36:17.680 and self-cleaning.

02:36:19.260 When you left, the toilet seat

02:36:21.580 went up into the wall

02:36:23.080 and was scrubbed

02:36:24.280 and water squirted out of everywhere

02:36:26.180 to wash the floor and everything

02:36:28.240 and do you know why that went bust?

02:36:31.580 the handicapped groups insisted it be handicapped accessible and they built a few big ones so a

02:36:41.200 wheelchair could get in it wasn't good enough the handicapped handicapped groups demanded

02:36:48.080 that every single one of them be wheelchair accessible and the guy that built these things

02:36:54.980 and was installing, said that's just not viable.

02:36:58.580 We can't do that.

02:37:00.280 It's too expensive.

02:37:03.100 The size is too big for where we want to put these things.

02:37:09.900 And that was it, ruined.

02:37:12.660 And that was in a time where maybe you could get away with a public toilet,

02:37:17.220 especially for a quarter fee to get in. 0.93

02:37:21.360 and any fee is going to maybe keep the real bottom-of-the-barrel degenerate 0.99

02:37:26.080 from going in there and messing it up.

02:37:27.640 But I firmly believe we are going to see horror, horror shows, nightmares,

02:37:38.820 because everyone's got a phone, and everyone's got a camera on their phone, 0.75

02:37:43.260 so we, I believe, very soon will start seeing videos of war crimes.

02:37:49.880 war crimes being committed

02:37:52.380 in these toilets

02:37:54.400 alright people you've been
