00:01:00.040 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:05.740 It is indeed the Anthony Cumia Show, and my God, what is happening? Every single week,

00:01:13.560 every single Sunday, I come on and I go, this cannot get any crazier. We are at a level of

00:01:22.260 insanity uh that just can't be beaten and then i come on the next sunday and we beat it we have

00:01:32.100 won we are winning in the insanity ladies and gentlemen all the ships at sea we're at war

00:01:38.900 beep beep we are at war apparently or maybe not or somewhat a lot of people are um uh saying this

00:01:49.540 is war. You know, there have been plenty of military actions a lot of the other presidents

00:01:56.080 have taken over the course of the years that didn't amount to war. People looked at it as

00:02:02.640 military actions. I read something today that I was like, this can't be true. The last time

00:02:08.720 Congress actually declared war was World War II. You might have heard of it. And every other

00:02:15.420 military action we've done after that wasn't an actual United States of America congressionally

00:02:20.980 approved declaration of war. So this has been going on for quite some time. And it seems a lot

00:02:30.580 of politicians, celebrities, amazing with the celebrities not knowing, but politicians not

00:02:38.020 really understanding the War Powers Act and the authority that the president does have

00:02:46.140 to have the military go in and conduct an operation exactly like this. 0.75

00:02:56.220 Now, look, I know I'm going to catch crap from both sides here.

00:03:01.020 this is a very very touchy uh situation touchy situation but uh you know i'm looking forward

00:03:10.340 to hearing from uh everybody our phones are already lit up and uh you know a lot of people

00:03:17.380 are going to have opinions that other people do not agree with and uh how could that how could

00:03:23.780 that possibly be a bad thing in 2026 we're all so tolerant to each other's views when we don't agree

00:03:31.340 with them oh my god but uh me personally i based on iran's actions over decades upon decades

00:03:47.840 I'm not busted up about this

00:03:51.220 I'm not all broken up about this one

00:03:54.440 I was a wee lad of 18, I believe

00:04:01.020 when the Shah of Iran was thrown out

00:04:06.140 and the Islamic Ayatollah and the Mullahs took over Iran

00:04:16.060 and uh they did in high fashion in 79 taking uh american hostages for over a year well over a

00:04:28.160 year during the carter administration this is how long that's been going on you know i was listening

00:04:33.200 to uh rock the casbah by the clash and i'm like boy this has been going on for a long time that

00:04:40.420 song is awesome and i'm like yeah that was because of this it's actually still this so uh it's been

00:04:48.600 going on a long time there have been so many instances of uh violence uh against the united

00:04:58.040 states directly the military and why why did we feel we had to give iran a pass for so many yeah

00:05:07.520 Yeah, there's been some bombings and some of those embargoes and all the other nonsense political means that politicians use to go, no, no, no, now the finger wag. 0.95

00:05:23.080 And but no one ever really went, let's just kill the entire power base of Iran until the other day, till Friday night. 0.89

00:05:38.760 That's that's when Trump and Netanyahu decided, yeah, let's let's just get rid of this. 0.93

00:05:48.640 Let's just get rid of the problem here.

00:05:51.360 and uh the democrats just could not be more crotchety about this whole thing i've been

00:05:58.120 reading so many x uh posts and other social media posts from democrats and liberals that are just

00:06:06.680 uh giving obama these glowing reviews of how he took care of it hey he had uh iran sign a

00:06:15.160 no nuclear proliferation bill and we had um crews going in there to make sure

00:06:23.640 that uh they weren't building nuclear weapons or enriching uranium or that yellow cake stuff

00:06:30.840 that sounds delicious but uh they were like yeah that's that's how you're supposed to handle it

00:06:37.280 Did anyone think Iran was adhering to any of that?

00:06:44.140 Like, Trump just ripped it up and now he's bombing them.

00:06:46.960 Well, again, you will have plenty of opportunity to chime in on what you think the reasoning is or what have you.

00:06:55.080 But like I said, I'm not busted up about it.

00:06:58.100 I think, you know, we looked at a few instances over the course of the years when the Iranian people were trying to fight back protests and they had some, the Arab Spring in the Middle East and a few of the Iranian people decided it was time to let the government know that they weren't happy with the way it was being run.

00:07:24.540 You know, a pre-Ayatollah Iran was an amazing place.

00:07:32.600 There are photos and videos, and look, I'll say it, amazingly hot women in Iran.

00:07:42.220 I don't know what happened. 1.00

00:07:43.840 Decades of wearing a burqa may have done some damage. 0.99

00:07:49.820 But some of those videos from the 70s, they're wearing miniskirts. 1.00

00:07:55.520 They're on college campuses like, you know, like regular girls. 0.93

00:07:59.800 And that all came to a screeching halt.

00:08:02.720 And you would think liberals and Democrats would be amongst the people going, you know, that was freedom, especially for women.

00:08:11.040 You know, everyone talks about how horribly women are treated in the awful, misogynistic United States of America.

00:08:19.320 And then you look at Iran.

00:08:21.940 You know, women get sexually assaulted there, and they are imprisoned because they probably believe they must have done something. 0.90

00:08:32.080 Don't go out wearing that. 1.00

00:08:33.900 You look like a hooah. 1.00

00:08:36.040 That's their attitude over there.

00:08:39.040 and um you know there's a few schools of thought there hey it's none of our business you know i

00:08:45.600 get that i i can't disagree with you know the united states we're not the world police we're

00:08:53.180 not here to make sure every country adheres to our ethics and morality um but then when you see

00:08:59.680 people on the left talking about world um events and affairs and geopolitics and they're saying 0.98

00:09:06.760 that this country or that country or even the United States is treating its people like crap and 1.00

00:09:13.080 women are treated like garbage. And then you look at a country like Iran and you see it is beyond 1.00

00:09:23.720 all reason. I mean, anything that happens that people feel is some kind of oppression of women

00:09:31.200 here in the United States, it doesn't even come close to what's going on over there.

00:09:36.760 you haven't seen a good oppression of women until you see a stoning for, you know, showing an ankle. 1.00

00:09:45.520 So that's going on.

00:09:46.900 So I can't really see why people are all busted up about it unless, you know, 0.96

00:09:53.260 it turns into a protracted Afghani-style war where it's a quagmire. 0.97

00:10:00.660 We don't know what we're there for.

00:10:03.760 And this happens.

00:10:04.780 Look, I'm not saying it can't happen.

00:10:06.760 even with Trump president having promised that there won't be any of these protracted new wars.

00:10:16.260 So a strike like this, cutting off the head of the regime, 0.97

00:10:21.040 and then they try to replace the head, and then that guy gets killed. 0.96

00:10:25.600 We do have to spend a little time tonight. 0.91

00:10:28.000 I don't care how you feel about Israel. 0.86

00:10:30.540 Their intelligence and logistics is insane. 0.99

00:10:35.120 insane we saw what they did with those beepers and now i'm reading stories that they had massad

00:10:42.900 dentists doing dental work on some of these big wigs uh in iran and planting tracking devices

00:10:50.920 in their teeth now that sounds a little outlandish it could be the fog of war and and nonsense but

00:10:58.240 you know after the pager thing i don't know i don't know maybe they are uh that good and to get

00:11:06.360 all of the upper echelon of iran into one place like that where they could just bomb like they're

00:11:13.720 hanging out like the cast of friends they're all together in in a flat just having a good time and

00:11:20.220 then uh the bombs start dropping break it up a little bit guys what are you doing why are you

00:11:26.860 all hanging out together uh not a good move not a healthy move on uh on the part of uh the iranian

00:11:34.620 brass but uh from the looks of some of the uh reconnaissance and some of the videos uh that

00:11:42.560 they put out just devastating a devastating attack on the um the command and control and

00:11:51.520 upper echelon trump is talking that they've taken out uh some of their navy now i don't even know

00:11:56.720 what that entails uh i've seen some of the speed boats they have you know i don't know about any

00:12:02.060 big cruisers or uh gun ships um but apparently they've been taking that out operations are still

00:12:10.980 ongoing and uh you know we'll see what happens i i start bitching about it when i see signs of a

00:12:20.360 protracted long-term conflict in Iran, boots on the ground type stuff that we know is going to go

00:12:29.700 on for quite some time. And seeing the logistics put in place by politician-owned food distributors

00:12:41.000 and water and toilets like we saw in Iraq. I don't want to see that. And I will say something.

00:12:47.980 Hey, don't test me, Trump.

00:12:50.960 I'll say something about it.

00:12:52.580 But right now, like I said, not too busted up about it.

00:12:56.860 Your calls and a lot more coming up next.

00:13:00.540 Where are you going?

00:13:01.260 Stick around.

00:13:01.920 Vinny, how you doing, buddy?

00:13:03.380 Okay, Anthony, I love you as a single man.

00:13:06.640 Let me tell you.

00:13:07.820 Thank you, sir.

00:13:08.960 I really do.

00:13:10.560 Appreciate it.

00:13:11.440 I saw something on TV that said, make Iran great again.

00:13:18.460 Yeah.

00:13:19.020 How great is that?

00:13:21.300 Yeah, well, people do have a problem with that, especially the America First people.

00:13:25.760 And I agree with a lot of what they say that, you know, Trump didn't run on making some type of democracy in Iran.

00:13:35.680 And a lot of people don't appreciate that he's done this.

00:13:39.800 What's your take on it?

00:13:41.440 And my take on it is that they're infiltrating the hate, anti-ice property, transgender property.

00:13:53.780 My God, everyone's involved.

00:13:55.740 How pissed are they? How dare you?

00:13:58.300 Yeah, every time you see a new thing come up in the news, you've got to look at the last thing that was huge like a week ago and go, 1.00

00:14:06.480 Ah, you poor bastards. You've got nothing going on. Everyone abandoned you. 0.99

00:14:11.440 so you're you're kind of for it right you you're digging this oh i'm digging this scene man

00:14:19.420 iran i mean they're out there in iran and in new york how great is that yeah i've seen it

00:14:28.460 is trump good or what i've seen a lot of people that are supporting this i think the media

00:14:33.840 obviously being so anti-trump wants to portray this as something that everyone hates because

00:14:40.120 The Democrat politicians are all getting in front of the cameras and saying, this isn't what America voted for.

00:14:46.900 This isn't what Trump said he was going to do.

00:14:50.120 And it's like, yeah, sometimes stuff happens during a president's term where you have to do something.

00:14:58.320 You have to respond, improvise, adapt and overcome, as they say in the Marine Corps.

00:15:04.560 But yeah, Anthony, if I may, Mark Kelly, I got names for him. 0.87

00:15:10.120 I call them donkey ears. 0.97

00:15:12.360 Okay, he does have big ears and a bald head. 0.96

00:15:14.600 Sure, sure.

00:15:15.540 I call it tomato nose.

00:15:17.740 All right. 0.98

00:15:18.660 Disgusting. 1.00

00:15:20.480 They really are. 1.00

00:15:21.480 They're disgusting. 0.96

00:15:22.200 Yeah, you know, when a president is involved in a military action, your personal opinion, 0.92

00:15:30.340 you could have trouble with what's going on and voice your opinion on it, but to just

00:15:37.900 bad-mouthed Trump and what he's doing because he's Trump and you don't like him, I don't

00:15:44.620 agree with that at all.

00:15:45.840 So I don't know, Vinny.

00:15:48.200 We'll see.

00:15:49.140 Thank you for the call.

00:15:50.520 And we'll obviously take a few more calls from people that have strong opinions on this.

00:15:59.580 What I wanted to do, though, is go over some of the things that the Islamic Republic over

00:16:06.280 there of iran have have done over the course of the years and i remember this one jimmy carter

00:16:13.280 the peanut president uh was in charge when uh the iranian students they called them the students

00:16:22.920 have taken over the u.s embassy and for 444 days they held americans hostage um under unbelievable

00:16:33.420 threats of death and torture and whatnot uh meanwhile the day ronald reagan was elected

00:16:42.040 uh or or inaugurated they uh freed the hostages really a good screw you to jimmy carter

00:16:49.700 but uh that started this rocking the casbah uh reagan kind of facilitated the whole thing

00:16:58.100 In 83, a Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept, the deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima.

00:17:12.660 Reagan's response to Iran was heard clearly and never forgotten. 0.64

00:17:18.180 Kill enough Americans at once and America will leave. 0.98

00:17:22.200 It really didn't do anything. 0.99

00:17:25.760 Even Reagan, the guy you would think would get in there, well, it's time to bomb Iran.

00:17:32.500 And he didn't do anything. 0.90

00:17:35.440 The lesson became operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack, every single one.

00:17:43.000 Clinton ignored it.

00:17:44.460 Ninety-five, a car bomb in Riyadh killed five Americans.

00:17:48.720 The Khobar Towers, a massive truck bomb, 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia.

00:17:55.760 nothing 1988 embassy bombing in africa we all remember um shortly before 9 11 in 2000 the uss

00:18:04.880 coal 17 sailors killed clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory

00:18:12.500 eight years hundreds of american dead uh or wounded zero consequence and then uh george uh 0.61

00:18:21.680 W. Bush handed them the keys, or George H.W., called them the axis of evil, correctly,

00:18:28.320 then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in history. 0.86

00:18:35.280 This is what we saw with George W.

00:18:39.020 Obama. Obama funded this.

00:18:43.240 There was a failure. This was where failure became unforgivable.

00:18:47.880 The Green Revolution in 2009, where millions of Iranians in the street begged, begged for American support and were ignored.

00:18:56.680 The protesters were crushed. The regime survived.

00:18:59.980 Then came the $150 billion in sanction relief handed over by Barack Hussein Obama.

00:19:11.320 uh 1.7 billion in cash on pallets unmarked plane this was something that obviously

00:19:20.680 uh they didn't want people to find out about it and then obama uh i don't quite have enough time

00:19:29.680 in this break but when we come back obama talked about it and his delusion that the regime and

00:19:37.040 iran was going to use that money the billions of dollars in cash to help to help their people

00:19:45.160 uh to to bring the the iranian economy up is a a lesson in delusion second to none

00:19:57.640 or you could also say maybe he wasn't delusional maybe he knew exactly what he was doing and you

00:20:05.440 know people believe that too uh this has been years and years and years and uh i've read it

00:20:14.800 on so many posts this isn't trump's war it's 45 years of american presidents refusing to finish

00:20:22.220 it and one president finally deciding the bill is due the bill is due and if you can't comprehend

00:20:31.060 that i don't know i don't know what to tell you um there are like i said many schools of thought

00:20:39.160 on this one uh people want to blame uh trump for doing this uh they want to obviously make the

00:20:47.400 attachment like he's uh israel's lapdog i know there's going to be a few calls about that tonight

00:20:54.080 um it is what it is if you believe that fine we'll we'll take your call and uh and talk about

00:21:01.800 it but if you have a country and a leadership that has been in charge for this long decade

00:21:09.840 upon decade and so many atrocities and terrorist act and dead americans are attached to them

00:21:18.480 uh why wouldn't you support doing something why just because years went by do they get the the

00:21:28.900 same pass that they've gotten from so many previous presidents i just don't uh don't get it

00:21:36.040 and um like i said and i'll say it all night long i'm just not that busted up about it

00:21:42.880 All right, your calls and more next.

00:21:45.820 Stick around.

00:21:46.980 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:21:53.260 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:21:59.500 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:22:01.680 And let's go right to Matt in the Bronx because he's got something to say about the downside of the Iranian attack.

00:22:10.960 What's up, Matt?

00:22:11.520 Hey, how are you?

00:22:13.700 Good, man.

00:22:13.980 Now, with regard to the media hyperbole, hyperbolic inflation of these attacks and distortions, in a time of war, you're going to find a lot of media hysteria to whip the war drums.

00:22:30.500 So that being said, if you want to find a sober analysis of what's going on in the Middle East, there's one place I recommend.

00:22:37.540 I'll get to my point, but I recommend this place first. 1.00

00:22:40.280 It's the Council for the National Interest, C-N-I-R-G. 1.00

00:22:45.140 All right. 1.00

00:22:45.800 I think people know how to spell.

00:22:48.060 I hope anyway, Mike.

00:22:49.560 Yeah, please continue.

00:22:52.020 All right.

00:22:52.840 So now there are, you know, people think that, you know, again, we're the world's most powerful military.

00:22:58.920 We can bomb people back to the Stone Age and not suffer any consequences.

00:23:03.180 Well, you know, I think that this operation is not well thought out.

00:23:07.680 The motives for it are suspect. And some of the consequences that you need to consider are this.

00:23:15.040 Number one, Iran is a is a stable country.

00:23:20.720 And if you destabilize Iran, a number of things can happen.

00:23:24.720 It could become a failed state like its neighbor, Afghanistan.

00:23:30.520 And if it became if it became a failed state and fractured along ethnic lines,

00:23:35.820 yet remember that iran is a multi-ethnic multi-religious state it's not everybody's a

00:23:40.300 persian muslim there um if it if it fractured along ethnic lines what you could happen uh it

00:23:47.060 because it could become a terrorist haven uh isn't that kind of what it is now though aren't

00:23:52.600 they sponsoring you know the fact that they are a functioning nation with an economy with money

00:23:59.100 uh that doesn't bode well for the west because they have the finances and resources to sponsor

00:24:08.000 terrorism even if it's not directly them doing it there is indisputable proof over the course

00:24:14.420 of years that they use proxies like hezbollah and hamas uh and and many others uh to do their bidding 0.53

00:24:22.260 Well, you know, it's I'm not going to deny that, you know, there's definitely links to Shiite fellow Shiite groups and even the Hamas, which is not a Shiite group.

00:24:34.140 It's a Sunni Arab group. You know, they're definitely they're definitely links to these groups.

00:24:39.760 But many of their many of their aims are regional as opposed to a group like Al Qaeda.

00:24:47.660 Al-Qaeda, remember, is the group that attacked us on 9-11.

00:24:51.840 And you mentioned the USS Cole in Yemen.

00:24:53.960 That was actually an Al-Qaeda operation.

00:24:55.620 You mentioned the embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998.

00:25:01.540 That was also an Al-Qaeda operation.

00:25:03.940 And sponsored by Iran.

00:25:08.040 No, no.

00:25:09.180 Al-Qaeda was not sponsored by Iran.

00:25:11.940 That's what I mean by misinformation and hyperbole and disinformation in times of war.

00:25:18.560 Al-Qaeda is a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist group that had no ties to the Shiites in Iran, none.

00:25:26.320 And with regard to the Taliban, which was hosting Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, when I mentioned a failed state, you know what the Iranians refer to the Taliban as?

00:25:38.240 Those phonetics, quote unquote.

00:25:40.080 In other words, they don't they didn't want anything with more extreme varieties of Islam. 0.99

00:25:46.940 Yeah, I don't know, Matt. 1.00

00:25:49.060 They have been the ATM machine for terrorism over the course of decades. 0.99

00:25:56.580 And I think it's kind of high time to cut the head off. 0.99

00:26:04.820 We'll see what happens. But as far as the downside goes, what do you think? Why do you say the downside? Are you talking about attacks on America like we saw in Austin, perhaps some fanatics or a more organized terrorism where it's put together and financed and does a lot more damage? 0.82

00:26:32.520 What's your downside of this attack? 1.00

00:26:37.080 Well, thanks to our broken immigration system, there are literally hundreds upon thousands of Iranians living in the United States.

00:26:45.460 Many of them are against the regime in Tehran as it exists now.

00:26:49.580 But some of them, some of them are devout Shiites who are in favor of Khomeini, in favor of the clerics in Tehran, and do not take lightly the United States bombing their relatives in that country and killing and maiming some of their relatives. 0.60

00:27:06.200 But isn't it amazing, Matt, that we've seen so many Arab nations siding with America and even Israel, which is insane. 0.54

00:27:15.500 And Iran is left firing missiles off in every direction, trying to hit every Arab nation that they see aren't supporting them. 0.52

00:27:28.300 Well, you know, and so far as that, you know, some of these countries, it's more, they're more or less aiming at U.S. military facilities within those nations that you mentioned, like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, et cetera. 0.59

00:27:44.460 You know, one of the things that, you know, has been happening as of late in the Arab Sunni world in countries like Saudi Arabia and even the UAE, they've been warming to Iran.

00:27:55.540 There's been a sort of rapprochement or a lessening of tensions.

00:28:01.280 Would you call me?

00:28:03.720 A lessening of tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

00:28:08.880 So diplomatically, they've been building bridges.

00:28:12.000 Well, it certainly didn't look like it the other night when they're bombing Riyadh 0.62

00:28:18.880 and Saudi is vocal about their support for getting rid of the upper echelon in Iran. 0.73

00:28:32.640 Well, you know, there's some people in the Muslim world, in the Arab world,

00:28:38.400 that would like to see a regime change in Iran. 0.93

00:28:41.920 But that does not lessen the danger posed to the United States.

00:28:47.220 That's what I'm concerned with.

00:28:48.500 Yeah. As far as I'm concerned, as far as I'm concerned, we should have a neutral foreign policy in the Middle East that takes neither side. 0.95

00:28:56.640 Perfect world, Matt. That would be Israel. 0.99

00:28:59.680 That would be a perfect world. Matt, thanks so much for the call. I appreciate it. 1.00

00:29:04.840 Yeah. Perfect world. I mean, we don't live in a perfect world.

00:29:10.220 Every American, I think, or most of them, you know, there's a lot of loonies out there, would say, wouldn't it be great?

00:29:17.620 We are just this bubble, the United States of America.

00:29:22.040 We're self-sufficient.

00:29:23.800 Like one of those terrariums people set up in a jar.

00:29:26.580 They seal it up 20 years later.

00:29:28.040 There's still plants in it.

00:29:29.520 We don't need anything from the outside world.

00:29:32.180 It just doesn't work that way.

00:29:34.380 I would love it.

00:29:36.480 But things change.

00:29:38.560 Things change over time.

00:29:40.760 Alliances obviously change over the course of the years.

00:29:45.780 Saudi Arabia, plenty of the United Arab Emirates,

00:29:56.020 they just don't like the fact that there's a country in the Middle East that is rogue.

00:30:04.700 And here's another big thing that's changed over the course of history, especially in the Middle East. 0.77

00:30:12.740 Business.

00:30:14.500 Everyone loves business.

00:30:16.960 They love money and selling their stuff and getting billions of dollars pumped into their economy.

00:30:24.360 And Iran has been this pariah in the middle of the Middle East, which for years, all of them were considered a pariah. 0.74

00:30:34.700 they've stepped up they've made alliances with uh again israel which is is the only thing i could 0.78

00:30:42.380 see the only reason i could see in doing that is money and business uh the rest of the world looks

00:30:49.120 at a lot of these nations in the middle east like yeah i could do business with them they're not

00:30:54.320 blowing things up uh they seem civilized enough to give and take money with except iran they are

00:31:03.340 just this pariah in the middle of the whole thing. And I think the entire region has had it

00:31:09.740 and just gone, no, it is time to clean up this mess. Iran has a lot of resources and things that 1.00

00:31:18.300 could be traded and money to be made. And that seems to be the thing that is paramount now

00:31:26.960 in the world. You know, when people talk about us getting into a kerfuffle with China,

00:31:33.340 or Russia over Ukraine and other countries maybe years ago, maybe years ago.

00:31:39.980 But now money is way too important to the world.

00:31:44.460 The world economy is what runs everything now.

00:31:51.480 There's no just saying, well, we have a problem with this country.

00:31:55.980 They've done this.

00:31:56.900 We're going to blockade them, and we might have to use military action.

00:32:02.240 And then everyone looks and goes, oh, boy, that is really, really going to affect the bottom line.

00:32:08.380 We do so much business with it.

00:32:10.860 We do incredible amounts of business with our hated enemies.

00:32:17.920 And I think that has prevented more military action over the course of the years than anything else.

00:32:25.740 Proxy wars with China or Russia back in the old days.

00:32:29.980 Now? No. We've got to fly in that rubber dog crap from China. That's a big seller. It's a big, high-selling item.

00:32:43.500 And I don't think people understand how important the economics of the whole thing are. 1.00

00:32:50.120 Why else would a lot of these Middle Eastern countries not lose their mind and start throwing missiles into Israel? 0.96

00:32:59.980 Well, because money. It's a world economy now. And that's how everything works. That's how it works. Dave in the Bronx. Let's plunk down line four. Dave in the Bronx. What's up, Dave? 1.00

00:33:17.880 Anthony, listen, look what the president did.

00:33:23.300 He did to Iranian economy, which gave him the excuse, which is rightfully so, of attacking Iran.

00:33:34.520 He told them, you know, you can't be killing your people and you can't be dealing with these nuclear weapons. 0.87

00:33:42.980 Right.

00:33:43.280 I don't know with ISIS or not whether it doesn't matter. 0.80

00:33:47.880 The point is he created, rightfully so, and he gave them the important excuse. 0.87

00:33:55.440 He's no shill for Israel, but he sees what's happened here. 0.96

00:34:00.080 This has been a disruptor.

00:34:02.260 All the things you listen.

00:34:04.060 Obama went over to the Syrian, to Assad, and said, you use poison gas.

00:34:10.480 You cross the line.

00:34:11.760 He did nothing about it.

00:34:13.140 Right.

00:34:13.720 Yeah, the red line.

00:34:14.760 Remember that?

00:34:15.260 He said, you do this, and this is what it, but he created this economy.

00:34:20.960 The whole thing collapsed around.

00:34:22.800 Yeah.

00:34:23.280 The only real problem with this, as it was in Venezuela, is that you don't, who's going to replace?

00:34:31.100 Well, that's just it.

00:34:32.480 You can't just leave that power vacuum there. 1.00

00:34:34.860 But you'd be very hard pressed to find a leadership that could go in there and be worse than the Iranians. 1.00

00:34:47.040 I mean, you do it. Why do you think people would divorce? 1.00

00:34:50.460 They OK, look what I got to deal with now. But you can't deal with that person.

00:34:55.520 That's all. Yeah. And now, you know, I think we got to maybe go old school and deposit someone in there.

00:35:04.160 that might know what they're doing or, you know, kill so many of the leaders they put in, 0.76

00:35:09.980 their temporary leadership lasts literally hours until one of them gets in there and goes, 0.54

00:35:15.200 please don't blow me up. I want to talk to you.

00:35:20.460 Yeah, but you've got 90 million people. It's not like that's the real.

00:35:24.380 Look what's happening in Cuba. What are we going to do in Cuba?

00:35:29.960 I don't know.

00:35:31.360 That's not what happens with Cuba. I don't know.

00:35:33.600 Who's going to take over Cuba?

00:35:35.240 I've been looking, and it's not out of the realm of possibility that before Trump is done, he does something in Cuba.

00:35:45.360 Because, again, I don't think the Cuban people are happy with what's going on. 1.00

00:35:49.720 90 miles from civilization, and they're driving around in 57 Chevys. 1.00

00:35:54.300 He could have buried Putin a long time ago.

00:35:56.760 Yeah, yeah.

00:35:57.340 And Putin's not going to do anything.

00:35:59.940 It's going to come to that, I hope, by the summer.

00:36:02.600 Yeah, I think Putin can't go on like that.

00:36:06.000 You can't keep killing people like this.

00:36:08.580 Yeah, I hear you. 0.59

00:36:09.260 And his own people, too.

00:36:10.940 All right, Dave, thanks for the call, man.

00:36:12.700 It's a pleasure, Anthony.

00:36:14.080 Thank you.

00:36:14.420 I think Putin is the—he's been put in a position of being a paper tiger now, even though, you know, look, he's at war with Ukraine.

00:36:22.880 They're both smashing each other.

00:36:24.980 But as far as being a real player on the world stage in any other situation than Ukraine, he he's not ready to jump in. 0.98

00:36:34.500 He's having trouble with Ukraine. You think he's going to jump into this fray?

00:36:39.620 He was asked why he didn't help Iran, who was supposedly a Russian ally.

00:36:44.340 And he said, well, Israel has a huge Russian population.

00:36:50.280 A lot of the Russian Jews went to Israel and call it home now, and he's like, yeah, what am I supposed to do?

00:37:00.260 Retaliate against a country that has a lot of my former or Russian countrymen there? 0.98

00:37:05.800 So he's not going to do anything.

00:37:08.700 Trump knows that.

00:37:10.920 Trump's in the driver's seat right now as far as world politics go, economically and militarily.

00:37:20.280 like what we're seeing going on uh let's let's go to uh ac9 this is obama in 2015 this was right

00:37:29.720 before he uh was done screwing up the country for eight years uh and he's talking about all the

00:37:36.980 billions that went over to iran that he flew over there and what he really thinks the iranian

00:37:43.920 government's going to do with it it is true that if iran lives up to its commitments it will gain

00:37:49.180 access to roughly $56 billion of its own money. 0.88

00:37:52.940 But the notion that this will be a game-changer, with all this money funneled into Iran's pernicious 0.91

00:37:58.640 activities, misses the reality of Iran's current situation. 0.93

00:38:03.060 Iran's leaders have raised the expectations of their people that sanctions relief will

00:38:07.160 improve their lives. 0.89

00:38:10.900 Even a repressive regime like Iran's cannot completely ignore those expectations. 0.61

00:38:16.580 And that's why our best analysts expect the bulk of this revenue to go into spending that

00:38:23.800 improves the economy and benefits the lives of the Iranian people. 1.00

00:38:28.620 Can you even believe how stupid that sounded then and how incredibly stupid it sounds now, 1.00

00:38:37.240 saying that all those billions that he just gave over to Iran, the government, the oppressive 1.00

00:38:44.700 iranian government was going to use it and pump it into the economy and help their people

00:38:52.260 oh they know there's an expectation from the people of the government yeah and if it isn't

00:39:00.080 exactly what the government thinks and says and does they kill you we saw how they reacted to a

00:39:06.740 few uh of the iranian people that had issue with uh the government over there with the regime

00:39:13.760 they murdered them

00:39:15.700 upwards of what 30,000 of them

00:39:17.960 recently and there's

00:39:19.880 Obama saying that yeah

00:39:21.720 I gave them billions of dollars

00:39:23.840 and what they're going to do

00:39:26.040 with it don't just think they're

00:39:27.900 going to sponsor terrorism with it

00:39:29.980 and buy missiles and bombs 0.78

00:39:32.260 for terrorism 0.57

00:39:34.220 worldwide they're going to 1.00

00:39:36.080 give it to their people

00:39:37.580 and build an economy

00:39:39.920 that can bring up all

00:39:41.520 of Iranians 1.00

00:39:43.300 all iranians it's it's either incredibly stupid childlike thinking or he had an mo that he was 1.00

00:39:54.120 thinking he could convince people and believe it or not uh liberal obama lovers back in the day 1.00

00:40:01.120 believed every word he said when we were all saying how do you hand a terrorist nation like 0.54

00:40:08.480 Iran billions upon billions of dollars. And they're like, oh, stop. First of all, it was 0.97

00:40:15.720 their money. We were holding on to it for them. Oh, good. Daddy, could I have my two dollars to

00:40:22.560 buy a comic book? All right, son. Spend it on the comic book, though. Don't buy the porno mag with

00:40:29.760 it that's that's what was going on and uh to hear obama um a little over 10 years later

00:40:38.280 hearing what he said now and how unbelievably naive that sounds uh is a hoot all right uh

00:40:46.700 more when we return it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:40:54.120 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show um

00:41:03.980 a lot of uh callers want to talk about this iranian situation and uh you know we're going

00:41:12.020 to stick on this for uh for a while this evening um this is you know leave it to the washington

00:41:20.600 Post and all the liberal rags, the propaganda machine, they wrote a little obituary for

00:41:31.400 the Ayatollah of rock and roll over there because, you know, we blew them up.

00:41:39.240 So the Washington Post, here's a part of it.

00:41:43.760 I swear, this is what they wrote.

00:41:46.820 This is a guy that murdered, I don't know, millions? Could it be a million people? Hundreds of thousands? We don't even know. This guy is a notorious, tyrannical, oppressive leader of the regime, the Ayatollah.

00:42:07.820 And Washington Post, here's what they said. 0.92

00:42:13.800 With his bushy white beard and easy smile,

00:42:17.380 I swear to you.

00:42:21.740 Ayatollah Khomeini cut a more avuncular figure in public

00:42:29.380 than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor. 0.95

00:42:34.320 So I looked up avuncular. Look, I've been in broadcasting. I kind of fancy myself to know a few words. I don't have to dip to Google or the dictionary very often. But I had no idea what that could possibly mean. Avuncular.

00:42:56.380 And I looked it up and it makes the obituary even funnier.

00:43:02.360 It's an uncle type person, like a person revered by the children that gives out advice, has a smile when the nieces and nephews or people that revere that person as an uncle comes up to them.

00:43:20.240 You couldn't come up with a more glowing review of this guy from the Washington Post.

00:43:29.480 Let's see what else.

00:43:31.720 And he was known to be fond of Persian poetry.

00:43:36.000 Hickory dickory dog.

00:43:39.640 And classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. 0.87

00:43:45.500 But like the uncompromising Khomeini, he opposed moderates' efforts to promote political and social reforms domestically 0.84

00:43:52.780 and to secure re-approachment with the United States.

00:43:58.520 But that beard and smile, it sounded like they were obituary, like they were paying tribute to Santa.

00:44:08.260 His smile and beard and bag of toys for the children.

00:44:13.020 Santa's evuncular.

00:44:14.680 I believe.

00:44:16.780 And, you know, all of the liberal rags, though, the New York slimes, all of them had glowing reviews.

00:44:26.600 And then you looked at some of the other people that celebrities and whatnot that have died over the course of the year that didn't agree with the liberal propaganda angle.

00:44:39.640 And they were given these terrible, terrible memorials of how hateful and racist and sexist they were.

00:44:49.880 But that's, you know, that's what we're dealing with.

00:44:52.360 I am so glad that we are kind of done with things like the Washington Post. 0.80

00:44:58.280 That's the only thing I will see from the Washington Post is somebody having reposted a ridiculous obituary for a tyrannical murderer, giving him a glowing review.

00:45:12.780 That's all I'll see because they put it on, someone put it on X.

00:45:17.180 I don't know anyone that reads the Washington Post or any of these liberal papers.

00:45:24.260 Oh, yeah, let me run to the store and get a copy of the New York Times.

00:45:29.900 It's done.

00:45:31.000 It's a dinosaur.

00:45:33.440 X is the number one source of people's news.

00:45:39.440 You can wake up, pick up that phone, scroll through it, and find out what has been going on while you've been asleep in a matter of minutes.

00:45:49.300 Imagine pawing through a giant newspaper like you're on the subway in 1950 with a fedora and your suit and tie.

00:45:58.540 Ah, what's happening in the world today?

00:46:01.840 The Dow is up to 350.

00:46:04.840 I'm going to invest. 1.00

00:46:07.120 The good old, yeah, Dateline, Dateline, Iran. 0.75

00:46:10.840 beautiful women are in pools and at nightclubs here in the wonderful persian country of iran

00:46:20.320 that's what it was like i don't know do we get back there do people care there's some angry

00:46:29.060 people out there i hear it i hear people telling me i get crap from people all the time especially

00:46:36.140 with the israel thing oh anthony you're on wabc look out what you say is like i say what i want

00:46:45.600 to say on this show i give people the opportunity to talk about it and i do understand some people's

00:46:52.980 concerns when uh we get involved in in global affairs uh that benefit israel and maybe not us

00:47:01.780 so much uh so i i'm cognizant of that uh and i talk about it and i let people come on the show

00:47:11.040 to talk about it but some people are just like everything has to be the israel angle it's like

00:47:18.340 the epstein thing right now you know everything that the president does has to be because he's

00:47:23.800 trying to hide the epstein files and it's like no you know some things really do just happen like

00:47:31.060 conspiracy theorists everything has to be some kind of conspiracy it's not what you see at face

00:47:38.500 value you know some things really do just happen and it's exactly how it's spelt out and exactly

00:47:47.220 how it happened exactly how you saw it happen and uh not everything is some crazy conspiracy

00:47:54.680 let's just keep that in mind there are some out there though i will uh say are a little fishy but

00:48:00.120 All right, back in a flash.

00:48:01.560 Don't go anywhere.

00:48:02.640 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:48:09.020 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:48:15.240 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:48:17.640 We are all over the Iranian situation this evening, taking your phone calls.

00:48:25.740 and uh my goodness look at this one uh general ali shamkhani komeini's right hand man was

00:48:35.740 eliminated so he's done this right hand man because it was he was found dead next to komeini's right

00:48:43.040 hand which was about a mile away from the rest of his body oh get it we blew him up uh other ones

00:48:51.320 dead. This one was a surprise.

00:48:54.080 Mohammed Ahmadinejad.

00:48:56.500 I remember this guy

00:48:57.720 from back in the day. 0.99

00:49:00.600 A former Iranian

00:49:01.600 president. A polarizing 0.99

00:49:04.080 hardliner. As opposed to

00:49:05.840 the wonderful people who have been in

00:49:07.760 charge since him.

00:49:10.160 Who became the face of

00:49:11.560 Tehran's nuclear defiance and

00:49:13.280 incendiary anti-Israeli

00:49:15.600 rhetoric.

00:49:17.320 He was reportedly killed in Israeli

00:49:19.020 airstrikes.

00:49:21.320 A report by the Israeli media outlet, I can't say it.

00:49:28.280 I can't roll the back of my tongue that well to say words like that.

00:49:35.800 Stated that Ahmadinejad was under house arrest at the time.

00:49:40.740 imagine a battle uh starts uh bombing starts you know you're one of the targets

00:49:52.880 and you're you're under house arrest everyone knows where you are and you're not allowed to

00:50:00.840 leave zoics so uh they blew him up uh he served as iran's sixth president from uh 2005 to 2013

00:50:12.400 and uh he's the guy uh that was like death to israel death to america i think they all say that

00:50:22.440 but he was pretty outspoken and uh you know this guy like right when you look at him you go oh that

00:50:29.260 guy he didn't have the big white beard he didn't wear the turban or anything he kind of looked like

00:50:34.340 just a regular guy he'd show up at the un every so often for the security council and he'd get

00:50:40.920 up there and a bunch of countries would refuse to uh to sit down they'd walk out his disputed

00:50:49.660 2009 re-election triggered the mass green movement protest which were violently suppressed by

00:50:56.500 security forces in one of the most serious internal crises of the Islamic Republic.

00:51:02.940 So, you know, he just another one in the long line of presidents and upper echelon of Iran 0.93

00:51:13.820 that murdered a lot of people, murdered a lot of people. 1.00

00:51:19.600 So he got his years in the making, that guy, just years in the making.

00:51:24.960 i see there's another award show on please don't leave us uh listening to this show to run and go

00:51:34.700 oh no i didn't know there was an award show on let me get to the television and watch

00:52:34.440 and put on their I stand with Iran buttons? 0.71

00:52:39.100 Is that what they do?

00:52:40.300 They have one big barrel that you throw your old who-gives-a-crap-anymore buttons in, like F-ice, and then you reach into the new barrel and you put on that Iranian flag, and I'm with, I stand with the people of Iran or something.

00:52:59.080 What is it?

00:52:59.560 Yes, Iran.

00:53:00.260 Thank you.

00:53:00.760 the actors awards they just have this it's a need a need to be coddled and told they're amazing

00:53:12.340 people oh god so uh one of them uh we have quite a few but one of them is speaking out

00:53:20.200 against the uh bombing of uh iran uh an old favorite she pops up every so often ac7

00:53:29.440 It's Jane Fonda, Hanoi Jane, has something to say.

00:53:34.380 And you damn well better listen.

00:53:44.900 AC7? 0.95

00:53:47.560 This dangerous and insane war against Iran not only violates international law

00:53:55.780 And our Constitution and War Powers Act, but risks exploding into a vast war of vast proportions, taking the lives of many, including U.S. services.

00:54:09.580 Yeah, someone cut her off good.

00:54:12.040 Yeah, of course.

00:54:13.740 Of course.

00:54:15.280 I mean, it's just toe the company line, man.

00:54:17.960 make sure uh you're you're saying exactly what all the other hollywood people are saying

00:54:26.220 and look i wouldn't even mind if you actually had a differing opinion

00:54:30.680 and and you're able to convey that logically and reasonably to somebody that's how people

00:54:38.560 get respect even if you don't agree with them but uh to see them all just come out of the

00:54:44.120 woodwork like the cockroaches they are and use these back padding award shows to stand up and 0.98

00:54:51.520 just crap on the country, crap on the president and every single thing that isn't in line with 0.99

00:54:59.800 their left wing agenda. It's disgusting. Just disgusting. So, yeah, Jane Fonda. Oh, 1.00

00:55:10.880 She's got something to say.

00:55:13.000 Look out.

00:55:14.780 And so does the mayor here in New York.

00:55:18.240 I'm actually broadcasting from New York tonight.

00:55:20.720 So I've been out and about, and I've got to tell you.

00:55:24.180 Hoof.

00:55:26.000 All right.

00:55:27.800 It's not that bad.

00:55:29.660 I came in Friday, and I saw a lot of friends and family and stuff, and that's always cool.

00:55:35.720 But walking down the streets, I don't know.

00:55:38.220 I don't need that kind of being on red alert all the time.

00:55:42.660 I like walking around somewhere and being able to maybe put your shoulders down

00:55:47.200 and shake your head a little bit and walk, pull your phone out of your pocket

00:55:52.020 and not have to look around and hold it with a Hulk grip.

00:55:56.980 And then I get in a cab from the hotel to come here, and where do you go?

00:56:03.980 I tell him, you know, on the stage, I give him the address,

00:56:07.000 And right after the door closed, you just start hearing,

00:56:10.580 and you instinctively go, excuse me, like he's talking.

00:56:18.840 And he doesn't even say, no, no, I'm speaking with someone else.

00:56:21.220 They just continue.

00:56:24.820 And who is on the other end?

00:56:29.060 Who's on the other end of the line who doesn't talk at all?

00:56:33.400 They never get to answer.

00:56:34.740 The guy is constantly talking.

00:56:41.260 So, you know, I'm immediately in a mood because of that.

00:56:46.580 And, yeah, you know, I like the idea that I could grab a six-pack

00:56:52.540 and a couple of slices of pizza at midnight.

00:56:55.880 That's cool.

00:56:57.160 That's not happening in Greenville, South Carolina.

00:57:00.060 But, you know, you feel like you're walking through a minefield

00:57:03.980 trying to get to it oh i gotta go to a cvs oh my god the degenerates hanging around a cvs at

00:57:11.960 midnight in this city poof ah just not my cup of tea maybe in the old days not anymore so your

00:57:22.180 wonderful mayor zoran kwami memdani he has uh written a social media post about the strikes

00:57:31.160 on Iran. And what does he say here? Today's military strikes on Iran. Or like Jane Fonda

00:57:38.480 said, Iran, shut up. All that affectation she puts on it. Today's military strikes on Iran 1.00

00:57:47.580 carried out by the United States and Israel mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of

00:57:53.840 aggression, bombing cities, killing civilians, opening a new theater of war. Americans do not

00:58:00.960 want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of a regime change. They want relief

00:58:07.720 from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker

00:58:12.860 is safe. Well, thank you. I was feeling so unsafe until I heard Zoran Kwame Mamdani was keeping me

00:58:21.200 safe during my short stay here in New York City. Walk the streets in complete safety. Mamdani's

00:58:28.460 got your back. I have been in contact with our police commissioner and emergency management

00:58:36.920 officials. Are you going to pay citizens to dress up like cops at 20 bucks an hour, 30 bucks an

00:58:42.840 hour, and they could walk the streets like policemen? We are taking proactive steps,

00:58:49.520 including increasing coordination across agencies. That means nothing. Enhancing patrols of sensitive

00:58:56.320 locations out of an abundance of caution all right what that means is he's putting guards 0.76

00:59:01.180 police guards in front of mosques he's protecting mosques is what he's doing let's be real here

00:59:09.180 additionally i want to speak directly to iranian new yorkers you are part of the fabric of this 0.94

00:59:17.000 city the very stained dog crap covered fabric of this city you are our neighbors small business

00:59:24.660 owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. 0.94

00:59:28.560 You will be safe here.

00:59:31.360 Who's doing anything to the Iranian New Yorkers that are here?

00:59:37.400 The whole gist of the bombing was to free and help, you know, again, agree with it or 0.96

00:59:48.060 don't, it's our business or not, but to get rid of that regime and hope that the 0.69

00:59:54.100 reasonable people of Iran can

00:59:56.520 stand up and get 0.99

00:59:58.580 a country where their women can walk around 1.00

01:00:00.700 in those cool little short skirts 1.00

01:00:02.380 again. That's for 1.00

01:00:04.500 the Iranian people. Why would 1.00

01:00:06.360 we go into New York, find 1.00

01:00:08.460 an Iranian, and 1.00

01:00:10.120 start yelling at him or hitting 0.53

01:00:12.300 him or something?

01:00:14.200 This is what Mamdani and his

01:00:16.380 ilk think. This is what he

01:00:18.400 thinks of you, people

01:00:20.320 of New York. He thinks you're violent idiots 1.00

01:00:22.500 who are going to go attacking and bullying Iranians in New York. 1.00

01:00:27.940 But he'll make sure you're safe. 0.62

01:00:29.160 Don't worry.

01:00:29.740 I feel safer already.

01:00:31.140 Okay, we'll be right back.

01:01:12.100 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:01:18.120 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:01:20.800 I was just reading a few posts there on X, Anthony Cumia on X, if you want to get in touch with me that way.

01:01:28.300 And Stephen King, again, is blathering on. 0.99

01:01:33.760 He said Trump was too chicken crap to fight in Vietnam. 0.98

01:01:45.060 He got deferments and medical things and whatnot. 0.99

01:01:49.160 And now he's running the military and he's able to send young people off to war.

01:01:55.480 And Stephen King has a problem with that.

01:01:57.080 So I just asked Google, Google is amazing, did Stephen King serve in Vietnam?

01:02:03.440 Because he's of that age.

01:02:06.640 And let's see what it says.

01:02:08.920 Upon graduating from the University of Maine in 1970, he was examined by the draft board,

01:02:14.920 but rejected for the military due to medical issues.

01:02:18.200 including high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and a punctured eardrum.

01:02:24.080 He was classified 4F.

01:02:27.300 Wah, wah.

01:02:28.440 So why are your medical reasons?

01:02:30.800 Yeah, there you go.

01:02:32.340 Why was his medical reasons more valid than Trump's or anyone else?

01:02:38.200 Look, it probably was great back then or at any time when you hear you don't have to go to a war.

01:02:49.960 We got a bunch of people that did, and it's no picnic.

01:02:56.760 But if you got medical deferments so you didn't have to go to Vietnam,

01:03:03.640 Maybe you should keep your yap shut about other people that got the same thing.

01:03:09.640 You know, if he was a Vietnam War hero, maybe he'd have a case here.

01:03:14.880 But, of course, he was an anti-war guy, active in student politics.

01:03:22.480 How did he do that with punctured eardrums and flat feet?

01:03:25.740 How could he march around and protest?

01:03:30.360 Let's see.

01:03:31.060 Oh, while he did not serve in the Vietnam War, he was heavily influenced in his early writings. 0.98

01:03:36.920 So I didn't serve because of my flat feet, but I damn well wrote about it and made a lot of money writing about what a piece of garbage Stephen King is. 0.92

01:03:49.960 Can we all just maybe agree on that one? 0.96

01:03:52.940 Holy Jesus, Palomino.

01:03:54.740 So let's go to, oh, of course, a Sunday wouldn't be complete without Joaquin.

01:04:01.600 Line four.

01:04:02.460 How you doing?

01:04:03.960 Joaquin, what's up, man?

01:04:05.800 Good evening, Anthony.

01:04:07.140 You know what?

01:04:07.540 You are the new but risque Rush Limbaugh.

01:04:10.120 Ah, thank you.

01:04:11.120 I take that as a compliment, sir.

01:04:12.880 Yes, it is.

01:04:13.500 It's meant to be.

01:04:14.080 And, you know, I keep forgetting to tell Vinny to put me down as OPA on the call board.

01:04:18.660 Take you back a little bit.

01:04:20.380 But anyway, you know something?

01:04:21.900 As far as I got a little list of a couple things here.

01:04:24.480 And that last one that you touched on, because I looked at this a while back, when it comes down to presidents that dodged the draft, not one of them, every single one of them, Biden and Clinton, and every one of them got more deferments than Donald Trump did.

01:04:37.920 And George Bush, though he was a pilot, he went to the Georgia National Guard where there was no danger of him going to Vietnam.

01:04:45.920 Yeah, they weren't going to send him off.

01:04:47.460 I mean, I give him credit for even joining a National Guard and learning how to fly an airplane.

01:04:52.240 I mean, geez. But, yeah, he wasn't going anywhere and he knew it.

01:04:57.660 He had all the power he needed in his family.

01:05:01.320 And somebody actually there was somebody in an ROTC.

01:05:04.520 It was a military officer. I remember his name.

01:05:07.560 I think it was a major. And he even said that Bill Clinton was technically actually a draft dodger.

01:05:12.540 So, yeah, and I don't have the information in front of me on that, you know.

01:05:17.440 So anybody who sits there and wants to say that about President Donald Trump, I got news for you.

01:05:22.340 Every other president from that era did the same thing.

01:05:25.420 Yeah, did the same thing.

01:05:26.880 What are you going to do?

01:05:28.260 And, you know, I'm getting tired of living in a country of masochists that want to be conquered.

01:05:33.080 Yeah. 1.00

01:05:33.660 And we're going to be conquered by Islam. 1.00

01:05:35.860 And the fact of the matter is that if it benefits Israel, it benefits us. 0.99

01:05:39.380 And if it benefits us and Israel, it benefits Western civilization. 0.86

01:05:42.300 And quite frankly, we are really the only bastions of Western civilization left, except for maybe Poland and a couple actually Eastern European countries, and everybody else is just basically surrendering, you know? 0.99

01:05:54.360 Yeah, we're dying a slow death here with this immigration, and I don't care anymore about legal or illegal immigration. 1.00

01:06:03.260 No one. 1.00

01:06:04.120 Shut it down.

01:06:05.040 If you're an amazing person from a civilized Western nation, you're an engineer, you're a scientist, come on over.

01:06:15.500 Bring your family. 0.93

01:06:16.960 But anyone else, I don't know where this delusion came from that we are supposed to, we're obligated as the United States of America to take every piece of garbage that feels they want a better life to come in here much to the inevitable destruction. 0.98

01:06:35.040 of our country. And, you know, getting out of Afghanistan, there's so many things that people 1.00

01:06:41.020 really don't have any kind of education on. Getting out of Afghanistan was a big mistake,

01:06:45.340 and Trump in this first administration was not going to do that. He was not going to surrender

01:06:49.580 Bagram Air Force Base, you know, and they were going to keep a contingent, you know, military

01:06:53.780 forces there. And it's the state-of-the-art military base. And if you happen to look on a map,

01:06:58.100 it happens to border almost every single one of our, quote-unquote, enemies, unfriendly countries,

01:07:03.140 China, Russia, you know, and the list goes on.

01:07:06.080 So quite frankly, it was one of the most strategic places to have a base.

01:07:09.800 And under Trump, there was, I believe, nobody, no military servicemen were killed over there.

01:07:14.620 And they still were able to help the Afghanis control the place by using special forces out of Bagram. 0.73

01:07:22.080 So that was a whole lie that was, you know, perpetrated in front of us. 0.93

01:07:26.100 And nobody has no idea.

01:07:27.620 And I also get disgusted when they talk about VJ Day,

01:07:30.400 because, quite frankly, it wasn't communist China that helped defeat the Japanese.

01:07:34.180 It was Taiwan. 0.61

01:07:35.380 It was the Chiang Kai-shek nationals who, after they did all the bleeding and dying and fighting against the Japanese, 0.83

01:07:41.460 fled to Taiwan when the communists took over mainland China.

01:07:45.600 So that's another thing that people have no idea of what's going on over there.

01:07:50.200 And I am not a fan of the Statue of Liberty.

01:07:53.260 No.

01:07:54.020 I like the statue. 0.99

01:07:55.580 I'm definitely not a fan of the plaque that some idiot slapped on it that everyone thinks is somehow law now. 0.99

01:08:04.180 They think it's our policy and it's legally our policy that we have to take wretched refuse. 0.99

01:08:12.540 I don't want wretched refuse.

01:08:15.020 I put it out on the curb every week and they haul it away. 1.00

01:08:19.740 Why do I want it imported from other countries? 1.00

01:08:22.880 Right.

01:08:23.480 And, you know, and the thing with this, it wasn't really designed to go to the Suez Canal in the Middle East.

01:08:28.020 And they had to change the head when they when they brought it over here, you know.

01:08:31.100 So we were sloppy seconds as far as that goes.

01:08:33.760 You know.

01:08:34.120 Yeah.

01:08:35.120 Things been nothing but trouble.

01:08:36.880 World War Two, right?

01:08:38.980 Or the police actions that we've had after World War Two.

01:08:42.100 OK.

01:08:42.580 Yeah.

01:08:42.740 Everybody says how bad Hitler and the Nazis were. 0.91

01:08:44.900 Right. 0.52

01:08:45.100 Well, the problem is, is that all the communists, you know, afterwards, they killed scores more people than the Nazis did.

01:08:51.720 yeah when we went to war in korea basically stopping the chinese you know where we did

01:08:57.060 uh i've got 39th parallel whatever it is you know yeah actually you know it's the same it's 0.81

01:09:04.300 the same justification if you want to say you know you were stopping hitler to stop him from

01:09:08.700 murdering people and that the same thing goes with vietnam you know i mean what were we doing i had

01:09:13.320 friends that fled saigon actually yeah you know and and so it's the same thing it was it obviously

01:09:19.000 I guess it was the was not the real reason behind us. I mean, you know, people in hindsight, people look at things with the knowledge that they have years later and then look back and go, oh, this should have, could have, would have, especially with Vietnam.

01:09:33.720 At the time, there was this communist fear, the fear of the domino effect where, you know, you let one nation fall under communist rule and they all fall. 0.67

01:09:48.420 And that's how we looked at it.

01:09:51.860 And that's how we got involved with it.

01:09:54.720 Now, later on, you could look in hindsight and go, was it really that big an issue?

01:09:58.580 and we wound up, you know, pulling out and the communists swooped right in anyway.

01:10:04.340 So you can't look at things with the convenience of hindsight.

01:10:10.340 Joaquin, thank you, man.

01:10:11.220 I got to go, but I appreciate the call.

01:10:15.040 Yeah, people like to, you know, look at things or they look at things that are happening in the moment

01:10:21.200 and think they know everything about it.

01:10:23.700 That's kind of another thing that people don't seem to understand.

01:10:28.580 You don't know.

01:10:30.460 Whatever you think you know, you don't know.

01:10:32.920 There is a fog of war, and it's not even just war.

01:10:36.740 Everything has a fog over it these days, all of your information.

01:10:42.820 And war especially, you're not supposed to know what's going on.

01:10:47.940 They're not going to tell you, and that's where we are right now.

01:10:51.460 So we sit, we wait, and see.

01:10:54.280 All right?

01:10:54.720 Stick around.

01:10:55.380 Back in a minute.

01:10:56.800 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:03.100 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:09.520 Yes, the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:11:12.060 Thank you for tuning in.

01:11:14.540 And, yeah, we'll be taking more of your calls and talking about this huge story, Iran.

01:11:23.220 And then we have what seems to be a terrorist event.

01:11:28.500 You know, who knows?

01:11:29.340 Is it organized?

01:11:30.360 Is it sponsored? 0.72

01:11:31.320 Is it just another one of these people that came here from a faraway land and decide they want to kill Americans? 0.91

01:11:41.960 Look at this quickly.

01:11:43.620 Adam Schiff, he just posted, Congress holds the power to declare war, not the president.

01:11:50.520 Did Trump declare war?

01:11:53.220 They are so, they lie. 0.93

01:11:56.720 They're so slimy.

01:11:59.200 When did Trump declare war?

01:12:02.040 Can I see that?

01:12:03.140 Can I see the declaration of war?

01:12:04.980 Just like your buddy Obama and Clinton and Bush and every other president, they can call

01:12:15.360 for a military action for many, many different reasons.

01:12:20.900 Obama was the king.

01:12:23.220 He put the bomb in Obama.

01:12:25.760 The guy loved bombing Libya, Syria. 0.75

01:12:30.880 The guy dropped so many bombs.

01:12:33.540 And not a peep.

01:12:34.840 Not a peep from any of these Democrats.

01:12:38.180 Well, the War Powers Act, it's illegal, it's unconstitutional.

01:12:42.980 Do a little research.

01:12:45.060 And Schiff knows. 1.00

01:12:46.720 I know he's an idiot. 1.00

01:12:47.780 But he's got to know what the laws are. 1.00

01:12:51.540 and what authority the president has under the War Powers Act, that it's very clear.

01:13:00.340 I'll be joining Senators Tim Kaine. Oh, good. Rand Paul and Schumer.

01:13:06.260 Oh, God. A new Three Stooges boot? Is that a new Three Stooges boot? Reboot?

01:13:14.120 Enforcing a vote on the War Powers resolution to make it clear,

01:13:18.120 Congress has not authorized the use of our military.

01:13:21.620 You don't have to get Congress to authorize the use of the military.

01:13:28.240 The president has the authority to do it in exactly the fashion you saw on Friday night and last night and today.

01:13:38.360 Exactly the same thing.

01:13:41.200 They lie to you. 1.00

01:13:42.920 You're idiots. 1.00

01:13:43.620 because they know that their left-wing mental patient supporters will believe what they say 1.00

01:13:52.820 they'll be out there with their signs that somehow get printed up in in like an hour

01:13:58.700 all of a sudden there was uh uh the the the bombing the bombings in iran and now every lefty

01:14:07.080 was able to toss away their FI sign and they had beautifully printed signs and these giant

01:14:13.620 banners that go street corner to street corner where did they come from oh Anthony you're a

01:14:21.760 conspiracy guy what do you think they're sponsored by left-wing organizations it's a yes they

01:14:27.680 absolutely are you tell me where all that comes from by the way the same font and colors as the

01:14:36.080 f ice signs so i'm not buying it you're not lying to me pally i'm awake i'm wide awake

01:14:45.800 to what's uh to what's going on you people don't seem to understand oh my god so um

01:14:55.560 our uh who would you say is our greatest ally in history because obviously people would say

01:15:03.460 Israel. And there have been plenty of arguments over the course of the years that, well, what does

01:15:09.860 Israel really do for us? We send a lot of money. We send military to certain areas. But it seems

01:15:17.960 kind of like a one-way street. I've heard that from many, many people that don't consider Israel

01:15:24.000 as our number one ally. So you could argue that one. But I think historically, over decades upon 0.99

01:15:31.200 decades, perhaps a century, that England, the United Kingdom, has been our most steadfast

01:15:40.040 ally, involved and supporting most everything we've done over the course of the years,

01:15:48.200 diplomatically, militarily.

01:15:49.700 And Sir Kierre Starmer over there in the U.K., initially, when these attacks started, would not let the United States use their U.K. bases in Cyprus.

01:16:07.960 um and why why is that he actually went on television and and tried to sell the point

01:16:18.820 that he didn't know about this he didn't support it the uk was not involved no uh english pilots

01:16:27.420 and planes were involved he was dancing as fast as he can to keep the monsters at bay

01:16:35.200 The monsters that have taken over cities like London and commit atrocious crimes against humanity in the United Kingdom. 0.78

01:16:48.720 And he knew damn well that if he made it look like he was involved, that they'd pull out their machetes and start doing that voodoo that they do so well. 0.74

01:17:00.360 And I guess that's changed a little bit.

01:17:04.020 he's decided to let the United States use some RAF bases in Cyprus 0.68

01:17:10.260 to tackle the growing threat from Iran defensively. 0.98

01:17:15.480 He says that we could use their bases if the missions are to blow up missiles 0.93

01:17:22.040 and other weapons that Iran will use against America or Israel

01:17:29.440 or any of the other countries that are backing this military operation. 0.94

01:17:35.880 But his first instinct was to get up there and kowtow to his Muslim invaders 0.99

01:17:45.440 that are in the U.K. right now because he knew damn well 1.00

01:17:48.880 these aren't people that take disagreements well.

01:17:54.360 They don't just go, okay, well, I see your point,

01:17:57.100 but they don't protest.

01:18:00.920 They go right for the throat, quite literally.

01:18:05.820 So he's changed his mind.

01:18:07.480 He's allowing it in a limited specific defensive purpose. 0.99

01:18:11.240 Screw you! 0.86

01:18:14.600 Everything we've done for the UK over the course of the years, 0.98

01:18:20.440 the alliances we've had when the UK had strong leadership

01:18:25.400 And now Keir Starmer is, you know, giving away the United Kingdom at a discount to people that certainly do not like the United Kingdom, its people, its policies, its civilization.

01:18:45.960 And, you know, that was his first, it tells you a lot, that that was his first instinct to get up and apologize and say, nope, we weren't involved.

01:18:55.400 don't you worry about it. 0.87

01:18:58.500 It's disgusting.

01:19:01.820 So I think that's AC8.

01:19:04.700 Do we have Keir? 1.00

01:19:05.640 Let's listen to this Poofter, 1.00

01:19:08.240 I think they call it in England. 1.00

01:19:10.260 Let's hear it, Poofter. 1.00

01:19:12.540 Yesterday, I spoke to you

01:19:15.400 about the situation in the Gulf

01:19:17.240 and explained that the United Kingdom

01:19:21.200 was not involved in the strikes on Iran.

01:19:24.520 Put your machetes away.

01:19:26.120 That remains the case.

01:19:27.920 Oh. 0.97

01:19:29.520 Over the last two days, Iran has launched sustained attacks across the region. 0.93

01:19:37.180 At countries who did not attack them.

01:19:40.820 They've hit airports and hotels where British citizens are staying. 0.98

01:19:47.540 Oh.

01:19:48.200 This is clearly a dangerous situation.

01:19:50.800 we have at least 200 000 british citizens in the region residents families on holiday

01:20:00.640 holiday and those in transit i ask all our people in the region to please register your presence

01:20:09.600 and follow foreign office travel advice give up and apologize immediately worrying time

01:20:16.880 and we will continue to do all we can to support you.

01:20:22.980 Our armed forces, who are located across the region,

01:20:27.720 are also being put at risk by Iran's actions.

01:20:33.420 Yesterday, Iran hit a military base in Bahrain,

01:20:38.100 narrowly missing British personnel.

01:20:41.820 The death of the supreme leader 0.80

01:20:44.460 will not stop Iran from launching these strikes. 0.95

01:20:47.960 Not so supreme. 0.99

01:20:48.920 Their approach is becoming even more reckless

01:20:52.240 and more dangerous to civilians.

01:20:56.460 Our decision that the UK would not be involved

01:21:00.920 with the strikes on Iran was deliberate.

01:21:04.480 Yeah, because you're a scary cat. 0.96

01:21:07.080 You're poofed up.

01:21:07.820 The best way forward for the region and for the world

01:21:11.280 is a negotiated settlement.

01:21:13.660 One in which Iran agrees to give up any aspirations to develop a nuclear weapon.

01:21:22.080 Aspirations? 0.77

01:21:24.140 But Iran is striking British interests nonetheless and putting British people at huge risk. 0.99

01:21:32.440 And what are you going to do about it? 0.92

01:21:33.500 Along with our allies across the region.

01:21:36.420 That is the situation we face today.

01:21:39.920 All right.

01:21:40.420 That's good enough.

01:21:41.040 Yeah. Does that sound like a strong leader?

01:21:45.540 There are English people in the region, and we need you to wear signs that say, I'm so sorry. 1.00

01:21:59.660 Please let me go home to my brandy new Muslim country of Great Britain. 1.00

01:22:07.760 Keir Starmer. 1.00

01:22:09.180 what a what i mean they're the the long shanks long shanks is rolling in his grave

01:22:20.140 who is this person

01:22:23.440 i'm skilled in the arts of war and military tactics really he just throws keir stormer out the window

01:22:36.020 ah brave heart just an amazing scene who is this person who thinks i need his advice

01:22:48.060 oh god all right uh how about eric we'll uh we'll hear eric in tennessee how you doing eric

01:22:58.260 hey anthony man that's starmer guy wow he really he really is a british cigarette is he not

01:23:05.460 Ah, indeedy-doody.

01:23:07.880 Yeah.

01:23:08.720 I love that scene in Braveheart, though, when the guards look up at the tower.

01:23:11.860 They just run like, woo-fah. 1.00

01:23:14.120 That's probably not the first poof to re-threw out a window. 1.00

01:23:20.080 Oh, man. 0.98

01:23:20.840 But yesterday, I was a little uneasy when I saw the strikes. 0.98

01:23:24.960 But, you know, I feel like the last 25 years, everything has been talking like war with Iran is inevitable.

01:23:31.340 And the more I think about it, it's like if that is true, isn't there like some peace and solace in knowing that Trump is the one doing it and not like a politician? 0.52

01:23:40.800 Good point. Good point. Because, you know, if if Trump didn't do anything and you still have the Iranian leadership, former leadership in place, and then we get some one of these Democrat people, God forbid, someone like Kamala Harris.

01:23:58.220 Could you imagine? They know at that point they could just run nuts, do whatever they want to do with impunity.

01:24:07.200 They wouldn't do anything. Oh, sanction this. And oh, a strongly worded message was sent to the Iranian leader.

01:24:16.660 That's what we would be in store for. And again, they've proven themselves over the course of many years that when there's weak leadership, they will strike. 0.97

01:24:29.060 Yeah.

01:24:30.640 I bet he was on house arrest.

01:24:33.520 Oh, what a bad time to be shackled to your night table

01:24:38.220 when one of those hypersonic bombs are coming for you.

01:24:45.000 He must have known. 0.99

01:24:45.980 I am so screwed, man. 1.00

01:24:48.160 I am so screwed. 1.00

01:24:49.660 I did not know about that. 0.99

01:24:51.380 Yeah, too much.

01:24:52.760 All right, Eric.

01:24:53.260 Thank you, my friend.

01:24:54.040 Take it easy, bro.

01:24:55.820 Yeah.

01:24:56.260 What a bad way to go.

01:25:00.540 They knew exactly where he was. 0.72

01:25:02.280 The Israeli and American intelligence, but that Israeli intelligence is just insane. 0.74

01:25:12.560 They have ways of finding stuff out. 0.90

01:25:15.180 If you've ever watched the movie, there's a couple of them out there.

01:25:20.980 But it was Eric Bana, and he played a Mossad agent. 0.80

01:25:24.420 And it was, hey, we want everyone that was involved in the murder of the Olympic, the Israeli Olympic team in the 70s, we want everyone even remotely involved, killed.

01:25:40.680 And the Mossad went after these guys and used every bit of their intelligence and spying and weaponry, all this very James Bond-ish.

01:25:52.440 James Bondstein

01:25:54.600 and they got him

01:25:57.840 and ever since then

01:26:00.540 everyone's looked at Israel like

01:26:02.680 yeah, they will find you 0.99

01:26:04.560 they will track you down

01:26:06.600 if they need to drill a filling in your tooth

01:26:10.040 and put a tracking device in there

01:26:12.160 so a missile goes into your tonsils 0.99

01:26:14.780 they will do it

01:26:17.000 and there's so much new technology

01:26:21.180 You know, I think we got jaded and used to seeing war in real time.

01:26:26.900 The first Gulf War kind of brought us that with CNN, but even that was delayed to an extent.

01:26:32.360 And then every subsequent military action, we got a little more.

01:26:37.240 We got to see the missile-eye view of Iraq, and now there's so many newer things. 0.52

01:26:47.280 You look at Russia and Ukraine, and it's a big drone war.

01:26:52.080 You know, a lot of soldiers are killed by these drones.

01:26:55.420 Those are like consumer drones.

01:26:58.020 You could buy them.

01:26:59.360 You could just go online and buy the same drones they're using.

01:27:02.380 And then I see some of the drones that the United States is using against Iran.

01:27:08.660 They're one-way drones.

01:27:10.480 They fly.

01:27:11.160 They're full of explosives.

01:27:12.620 They're very fast.

01:27:14.000 They're very maneuverable and very accurate.

01:27:17.280 And we hadn't seen anything.

01:27:20.480 Watching the Russia-Ukraine battle, you're like, uh-oh, you know, they're starting to use drones.

01:27:25.600 What are we doing?

01:27:27.080 And then there was all of these sightings.

01:27:29.300 Remember the sightings over New York and Jersey and some other places in this country where we were like, wow, people are seeing UFOs.

01:27:37.920 Those were all military drones being tested.

01:27:41.880 All military drones being tested.

01:27:45.000 And now, you know, maybe that's another reason that put it over the top. 0.98

01:27:49.400 Like, well, we should go after Iran, but I don't think the reasons are good enough. 0.98

01:27:55.220 And then someone said, we have some stuff that we really want to see in operation. 0.62

01:28:02.920 I want to see these drones work.

01:28:04.740 And they're like, all right, that's a good reason.

01:28:07.460 Let's do it.

01:28:08.440 And it's been amazing watching some of this new weaponry.

01:28:11.360 um i know we've had a few u.s casualties and that always sucks man uh but the ships are there and

01:28:19.320 you know iran has some high-speed exocet missiles and other uh missiles that skim along the ocean to

01:28:27.060 to hit uh ships and uh our defense on those things are amazing that's why i've seen some of these

01:28:33.700 ai videos too it's like oh here's the uh the uss lincoln and here's a iraq iranian missile

01:28:43.540 and it's like it wouldn't even get that close an iranian missile wouldn't even get a visual

01:28:50.380 on one of those ships before it's shot down that's how insanely good the technology is and

01:28:57.880 And it just keeps getting better.

01:29:01.260 I love that stuff, too.

01:29:03.580 I love it.

01:29:04.420 I don't like the idea that war has to have people die in it.

01:29:07.040 The enemy, not so much.

01:29:08.540 But your own people, yeah.

01:29:12.280 But, boy, watching some of it, you know, you see your tax dollars.

01:29:17.200 I'd rather see a missile that I know I paid for one rivet in its tail

01:29:23.160 than watch somebody with an EBT card at a store utilizing my tax dollars.

01:29:30.120 I'd much rather say, see that?

01:29:32.480 See that little curly Q antenna on top?

01:29:35.200 Me.

01:29:36.160 I paid for that.

01:29:38.100 It just makes me feel a little better.

01:29:41.360 All right, more calls, of course.

01:29:43.940 The phone's just lighting up.

01:29:45.920 Whenever I take a call, it's replaced immediately.

01:29:48.400 People want to talk about this, as do I.

01:29:51.060 And we will do just that in moments.

01:29:54.720 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:30:01.000 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:30:07.160 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:30:09.020 And, yeah, this is a great post on X. 0.98

01:30:12.380 Keir Starmer is getting crucified in the British media for being a feckless coward. 1.00

01:30:18.140 You feckless coward. 1.00

01:30:21.020 So now he's trying to figure out how to take credit for doing something in Iran. 1.00

01:30:26.760 No, feckless coward trying to appease the people, the invaders, 0.99

01:30:33.820 that he knows damn well will wreak havoc on his country 0.99

01:30:38.580 if they think Britain was involved in any way, shape, or form in these attacks.

01:30:44.180 That's the situation England has put itself in,

01:30:47.440 to have to sit there and kowtow and walk on eggshells

01:30:51.280 as an invading army walks your streets and resorts to violence

01:30:57.720 if they think you're doing anything against their religion.

01:31:02.500 unbelievable unbelievable totally believable my god man uh we could take a little well i'll take

01:31:13.540 another call and then we'll take a little breather from uh this and get into some other things

01:31:18.320 celebrities of course ranting about immigration the god no sunday's complete without maybe a

01:31:24.380 point of view from

01:31:26.540 the gals at The View

01:31:27.880 and Chuck Schumer

01:31:32.080 I always

01:31:34.740 have to play a little Chuck Schumer

01:31:36.200 so we'll get to that in a little bit

01:32:30.340 Yeah.

01:32:30.760 Okay, but set the stage to this because in 1973, that's when the oil embargo by OPEC,

01:32:43.560 No one even talks about OPEC and the history of how this whole Iranian nightmare with the hostages and that, you know, the Shah of Iran when he was in charge of Iran and it was very Western.

01:33:03.180 Yes, yes. The Shah of Iran. And he it was. Yeah, it was like a Western nation in in the Middle East. 0.53

01:33:13.440 Yeah, and we were getting oil out of there and everything. 0.76

01:33:16.080 And then, you know, the Islamic state, they bounced to the Shah. 0.97

01:33:23.280 He came here, and then he got cancer and died. 0.97

01:33:26.400 And it's been that way for many years, Susan.

01:33:30.320 You know, you wouldn't be able to drink if you were over there.

01:33:32.320 They ban alcohol.

01:33:33.960 Oh, my God.

01:33:35.140 I know. 0.72

01:33:35.580 Listen, the Ayatollah came in, and then the girls, the men could have four wives, and they could have nine-year-old wives, and Sharia law, Sharia law, and that's what we have to understand, that that is their whole role. 0.62

01:33:55.340 Sharia, not sherry, like you cook with and then take a snort of every so often.

01:33:59.580 I get it.

01:34:56.520 Ha ha, Susan.

01:34:58.020 Hello, Susan. 0.99

01:34:59.620 Yeah, she, well, she's for it.

01:35:03.280 I think most people that drink heavily on a Sunday evening are probably raving about these attacks.

01:35:12.640 She's a pip.

01:35:13.980 She is a pip, isn't she?

01:35:17.080 Oh, my God.

01:35:19.800 All right.

01:35:20.600 Let me see what else I want to talk about before we go to break and come back and discuss maybe a couple of other things.

01:35:28.180 Morgan Freeman, he doesn't lack what Donald Trump's doing.

01:35:33.280 I like a couple of Morgan's movies, but for the most part, when he starts talking like this, he could go screw off, too.

01:35:42.420 And then a Whoopi, Whoopi Goldberg, talking about the women's hockey team.

01:35:47.740 Of course, the men's hockey team and the women's hockey team winning in the Olympics, that was a big deal.

01:35:54.920 Trump invited the guys to the White House, and they showed up.

01:35:58.840 He also invited the women.

01:36:01.220 Initially, they said no.

01:36:03.220 And then they tried to spin it like Donald Trump didn't invite the women. 0.76

01:36:07.780 Please. 0.97

01:36:09.120 Just please.

01:36:11.460 So we'll get to some of that.

01:36:13.420 And the Manhattan DA dropping assault charges on the snowball guy, the guy that assaulted some of these cops, NYPD officers, with snow and ice, pretty much.

01:36:27.920 Big ice blocks. 1.00

01:36:29.140 And this guy's a real piece of crap. 1.00

01:36:31.980 He's one of these internet influencer guys that goes around and does pranks. 1.00

01:36:36.620 And, you know, I love when it goes really wrong.

01:36:40.660 and uh it ends up with his mother crying and saying he was just playing a prank uh that's when

01:36:47.660 i believe it goes well so uh we'll talk about that and uh again more more of your phone calls

01:36:55.000 uh this guy he was arrested on the subway platform for trying to rob someone right in front of the

01:37:04.160 cops and what did they do nothing and then they let him go during uh the snowball thing

01:37:11.700 and of course it's alvin bragg all right back in a minute it's the anthony cumia show on the red

01:37:19.720 apple podcast network it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:37:28.180 hi that's right and uh yeah i was just uh scrolling social media x and uh it seems the

01:37:39.340 the first use of the uh the israeli laser beam weapon ever it's being used iron beam

01:37:49.820 it looks pretty crazy kind of looks like missiles but they just say it's a big powerful laser

01:37:56.240 and they shoot it at incoming missiles and they blow up.

01:38:00.300 This is like some sci-fi stuff going on.

01:38:04.320 Like I said, the weaponry and the intelligence is beyond anything we've seen.

01:38:13.480 And I think AI has a lot to do with it, the ability for a lot of these machines.

01:38:18.420 whether they're you know we're so used to seeing um autonomous vehicles and uh artificial

01:38:26.880 intelligence being utilized so we can drive our cars without paying attention like a tesla

01:38:33.140 or whatnot uh but the military what they're able to do utilizing um ai is insane and we don't often

01:38:42.780 get to see it so um every so often when something pops off like this we get a pretty cool view

01:38:49.700 not that i'm saying any of it is cool i'm just strictly from a fan of technology you gotta look

01:38:58.380 and go wow this is some incredible stuff going on not making any light of uh of the uh dead

01:39:07.440 Not on their side.

01:39:08.420 I don't really care.

01:39:09.520 I really don't care about the other side.

01:39:13.660 Is that a bad thing?

01:39:15.220 Is that bad of me?

01:39:16.620 I care about our guys.

01:39:18.720 You know, I want the absolute minimum.

01:39:21.460 Perfect world, none of them would get hurt.

01:39:24.380 But then I see bombs blowing up in Iran, and I'm just like, yeah, I don't really care.

01:39:30.740 Eh.

01:39:32.000 Kind of human nature.

01:39:33.120 You watch the news, you see people that were killed, and then they go, and the dead included three Americans.

01:39:42.720 You're like, oh, what?

01:39:44.060 Americans?

01:39:45.140 You don't know them any more than you know the other people, but you feel some kinship because you're American.

01:39:53.960 It's just the way we are. 0.88

01:39:55.880 So don't give me crap about it. 0.91

01:39:58.400 All right. 0.95

01:39:59.920 Other things.

01:40:00.820 I want to get to a few other things tonight.

01:40:04.080 Besides the wall.

01:40:05.840 Yeah.

01:40:06.760 So celebrities, you know how I love them.

01:40:10.520 I adore them.

01:40:12.160 They're so smart and reasonable.

01:40:15.120 This is Sonny Hostin.

01:40:17.420 Now, they've been bashing Trump about these Epstein files forever.

01:40:25.240 And since the release of the files and this fact that Trump is mentioned tens of thousands of times, no context given as to how he's mentioned, there are email alerts that Jeffrey Epstein and his companies got that had the name Donald Trump in them.

01:40:48.540 Oh, Donald Trump is doing this.

01:40:50.820 Donald Trump is doing that.

01:40:52.320 so that accounted for a lot of the mentions of his name his name was mentioned so many times yeah

01:41:00.620 he's donald trump and then the other ones with these insane allegations that were made

01:41:07.520 on a an answering machine set up by the fbi hey if you have an ebstein's ebstein story

01:41:14.700 if he assaulted you accosted you you know things about other people there give us a call

01:41:21.060 and we'll check into it well so many people called up saying donald trump did this and that

01:41:27.680 and none of the calls were verifiable they couldn't um corroborate the stories they tried

01:41:35.460 to get back to these people they left fake numbers they didn't exist and this hotline was set up when

01:41:41.980 trump was president so he already had enemies on the left that were trying to uh screw him

01:41:48.740 so uh the idea that anything is being done to hide the epstein files and trump's involvement 0.86

01:41:57.300 is stupid i've not seen anything yet if i do see something i'm not going to automatically 0.91

01:42:02.960 discount it because i'm a trump fan i'm going to look at it and go oh wow that does seem a little 0.98

01:42:09.620 uh uh damning but i haven't seen one thing one thing to indicate that trump did anything

01:42:18.200 that was wrong not illegal not unethical and uh this jeffrey epstein guy was in so many social

01:42:27.980 circles people don't seem to realize this guy was huge in the political arena celebrity arena

01:42:35.120 he was a finance guy so he gave a lot of financial advice to uh politicians and celebrities

01:42:42.740 and he was

01:42:45.260 a party guy

01:42:46.680 he invited a lot of people to parties

01:42:48.980 he was invited to a lot of parties

01:42:50.600 so people turn up on

01:42:52.900 the list

01:42:54.060 and their name is in the files

01:42:57.080 two of whom were

01:42:58.740 Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar

01:43:01.020 from The View

01:43:02.380 their names turned up on the list

01:43:05.040 and of course

01:43:06.880 they had

01:43:07.360 an excuse

01:43:10.800 as to why they were on the list, and it was perfectly fine and innocent. 0.95

01:43:16.060 But anyone else that they don't like, they were criminal pedophiles 0.72

01:43:20.640 and they're committing crimes against humanity.

01:43:26.040 So, you know, that's what they do. 0.99

01:43:29.500 They're liars, they're hens, they're cackling hens 0.98

01:43:32.640 who just want to, again, tow the company line over there at The View. 1.00

01:43:39.400 and pump out their crap, their bull. 0.99

01:43:45.280 So here's Sonny Hostin as she reads unsubstantiated assault charges, 0.99

01:43:50.940 allegations, not charges, please, about Trump on The View.

01:43:54.420 This is lawsuit city right here.

01:43:57.620 I want to know where those pages are.

01:43:59.500 What was taken out?

01:44:00.840 Well, we don't know what was taken out,

01:44:03.120 but what we know is that Representative Garcia read about 50 pages left out.

01:44:08.340 He did read an account of the president sexually assaulting that 13-year-old.

01:44:14.120 Trump, this president.

01:44:14.880 Yes.

01:44:15.040 Well, explain what this is, the words.

01:44:17.260 Well, apparently in this document, and I want to be very careful here because these are allegations,

01:44:23.960 and President Trump has consistently, they're unverified allegations,

01:44:27.220 and President Trump has consistently denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing.

01:44:31.200 But there was a presentation made by the FBI and the witness stated that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down and punched her in the head in response to something that she did.

01:44:49.800 Right. Unbelievable. She's saying right there, these are unsubstantiated allegations.

01:44:55.780 they have not been corroborated by anybody the fbi had them yeah because they were taking in

01:45:03.200 uh thousands of these calls from people that were alleging uh that donald trump did things

01:45:11.040 because they hate him they don't like that he's president they want to get him in trouble

01:45:16.980 not one of these allegations can be substantiated they can't find these people

01:45:23.500 that supposedly were sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.

01:45:28.420 They can't even find them. 0.99

01:45:31.080 And then these broads on The View just blurt it out. 0.97

01:45:37.420 And they go, we've got to be real careful here. 1.00

01:45:39.160 Yeah.

01:45:40.220 You know why you've got to be careful?

01:45:41.720 Because you're just lying.

01:45:43.400 You're just reading stuff that is completely unsubstantiated.

01:45:49.020 How about another show goes on and says,

01:45:51.040 Sonny Hostin did this.

01:45:52.840 And then you just say some horrific thing involving, I don't know, young boys or drugs or something.

01:46:00.780 And then you go, well, it's completely unsubstantiated.

01:46:04.120 You think Sonny Hostin might have an issue?

01:46:06.760 You think she might want to go to court, get a lawyer and go to court and slap a slander charge on somebody? 0.98

01:46:16.460 But no. 0.99

01:46:18.200 No, that's just the way they operate. 1.00

01:46:20.420 unsubstantiated lying allegations and they put it out there so again their moronic brain damaged 0.99

01:46:30.040 audience will hear that not acknowledge uh allegations not acknowledge things like 0.98

01:46:37.800 unsubstantiated they'll just take what they heard run to their little coffee clutch or the clubhouse

01:46:43.960 at their old age home and start reciting this like it's gospel. 0.96

01:46:49.420 And that's who you see at these dumb protests when they're asked, 0.98

01:46:53.200 well, what did he do? 1.00

01:46:54.180 Well, he sexually assaulted a young girl and punched her in the head. 0.99

01:46:57.960 And where'd you hear that? 0.99

01:46:59.580 Oh, I heard it.

01:47:00.860 If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you.

01:47:03.860 It's all lies from the usual suspects. 1.00

01:47:09.920 These liberals, oh, they're disgusting. 0.98

01:47:13.960 So here's Whoopi, and she's got, you know, something to say about the president involving the women's hockey team and the State of the Union address. 0.99

01:47:26.260 AC3, let's hear from a fellow hen over at The View, Whoopi Goldberg.

01:47:32.180 Like, this should be the least politicized story.

01:47:34.680 Honestly, I was watching that final, the men's final, with 26 other million people, which is one of the highest ever rated for an Olympic sport.

01:47:42.700 and they were screaming with that women over time.

01:47:46.420 It's a unifying moment for America.

01:47:48.520 The women were invited to the State of the Union.

01:47:50.480 They're going to come to the White House.

01:47:52.180 Yeah, but he insulted them.

01:47:53.260 Should Patel have been there?

01:47:53.860 No, it was a terrible look.

01:47:55.900 Wait a second. 1.00

01:47:56.560 Well, the women insulted the women, 1.00

01:47:58.100 and that's why they didn't come. 1.00

01:47:58.540 It was a celebratory joke.

01:47:59.840 I don't know.

01:48:00.240 I'm not going to excuse that.

01:48:00.940 It's a joke.

01:48:02.120 But I think that we shouldn't politicize everything.

01:48:05.460 We've got to stop giving him a pass.

01:48:06.360 We've got to stop giving him a pass.

01:48:06.620 A joke.

01:48:07.700 We're not giving it any more attention

01:48:10.600 because we're going to be right back.

01:48:11.840 Oh, yeah, Whoopi just cut her off.

01:48:15.200 But that's exactly what they do. 0.63

01:48:18.140 They cut her off.

01:48:19.100 She's saying, you know, not everything has to be politicized.

01:48:22.920 He invited the guys because they're patriotic Americans that loved the fact that they wore an American flag on their shoulder and represented this great country.

01:48:35.420 There were so many other people.

01:48:36.920 And I heard that, too.

01:48:37.740 Why didn't he acknowledge the other medal winners for the country? 0.51

01:48:40.920 Well, maybe they were talking crap about him and saying that they were embarrassed and they didn't feel proud to represent America at the Olympics.

01:48:51.380 Maybe that's why. 0.54

01:48:53.180 Maybe when you see a team like the American hockey team win and celebrate and wrap themselves in the American flag and skate on the ice and appreciate the country that gave them that opportunity.

01:49:04.580 Maybe that's why he treated them the way he did and treated others that represented America differently.

01:49:14.200 All right, don't you go anywhere. Back in a moment.

01:49:18.440 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:49:24.440 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:49:29.460 the anthony cumia show and uh tragedy in austin austin texas a shooter uh the i've been austin a

01:49:41.000 few times um been down to uh the comedy mothership over there joe rogan's club uh i've done a few

01:49:48.160 gigs um at a vulcan and uh you know sixth uh what is it sixth street over there is a huge you know

01:49:56.580 that's where all the clubs are or is it six them i think six avenue it's where all the clubs are

01:50:01.680 this is like the nightlife in austin it's packed a lot of people out there drinking having a good

01:50:08.000 time and uh 53 year old immigrant from senegal i can't even read this name i can't it looks like

01:50:19.800 a word jumble. It looks like there's a word you got to make. I need the Enigma machine from

01:50:27.780 World War II to figure out what his real name is. Indiaga Diagni. That's not real. That's not a real

01:50:41.940 name bevis uh naga naga not gonna breathe anymore yeah yeah uh yeah so that's his name

01:50:50.180 according to the post the alleged shooter had a quran in his vehicle was allegedly not allegedly

01:50:57.920 we saw the picture he was wearing a shirt that read property of Allah and uh he had an undershirt

01:51:07.200 featuring the iranian flag um it's too early to process or determine the exact motivation

01:51:15.420 they always do this and by the way this even though it's a huge story especially on uh the

01:51:22.920 tale of uh the iran attack but this will go away this will go away this doesn't fit the agenda of

01:51:31.760 the people that say, well, the worst threat to the American people are right-wing Republican 0.93

01:51:39.300 white dudes. 0.93

01:51:41.740 And then time and time again, we just see this.

01:51:45.340 This guy came in under, I believe, Obama or 2000.

01:51:54.320 So he came in under Bill Clinton.

01:51:57.420 And then he got citizenship because he married someone, that old gag, under Obama.

01:52:06.060 And he's been in this country.

01:52:09.640 He's got social media accounts where, you know, that alone should have gotten him deported.

01:52:15.540 I don't care he was made, he was naturalized.

01:52:18.820 Get him out. 1.00

01:52:20.180 Him and, you know, this whole thing. 0.95

01:52:22.900 Why do we feel so compelled to invite people into this country, realize what they're all about, that they're not going to be contributing to our society, they're going to be detrimental, burdensome, and in some cases deadly, and we just go, yeah, hang out, awesome.

01:52:42.980 You just hang out until you feel like killing someone, and then you do that, and maybe the cops will give you the room temperature challenge, or we'll just put you in prison. 0.97

01:52:55.960 Yeah, there he is, property of Allah on the shirt, allegedly.

01:53:00.540 Get out of here. 0.55

01:53:02.160 So he ran in there and shot a bunch of people.

01:53:06.140 I think two are dead at least, a lot wounded.

01:53:08.680 There is some brutal video that's come out of there of emergency services performing CPR on people.

01:53:15.320 The panic.

01:53:17.220 I couldn't even imagine.

01:53:18.760 Just crazy.

01:53:22.040 And, you know, it took a cop to take care of business.

01:53:27.800 Take care of the guy.

01:53:28.940 Get rid of him. 0.97

01:53:31.260 A gun, you know.

01:53:33.020 Until another gun shows up, the person with the gun has a pretty good advantage.

01:53:38.280 That's what happens.

01:53:39.780 The second someone shows up with a gun, a citizen, an armed citizen, or a cop, it stops.

01:53:46.380 It's amazing how it works like that every single time. 0.96

01:53:50.220 Sometimes a cop shows up, and the guy does everyone a favor and sucks on the barrel and takes care of himself. 0.74

01:53:57.220 We all go, oh, great. 0.96

01:53:58.980 Other times he wants to shoot it out, and that's it.

01:54:02.880 He's dispatched.

01:54:03.700 but it's always because another gun showed up and you would think Texas I don't know what the

01:54:09.660 the municipality of Austin how they feel I know it's it's more liberal than you would think

01:54:15.780 Austin Texas so I don't know what their gun policy is but I know a lot of the clubs

01:54:20.020 do not allow people to have guns it didn't stop this guy but it did stop someone that might have

01:54:27.420 been able to dispatch him when he walked in with a rifle this guy shot from his vehicle first with

01:54:35.660 a pistol and then he parked his car he got out with a rifle walked up to a club and uh that was

01:54:45.320 that so where where was someone with a gun until a cop showed up he had free reign to do whatever

01:54:53.200 he wanted. So I don't know what the laws are in Austin, but it seems like an armed citizen would

01:55:00.340 have been a good thing. But here's a far-left Grand Rapids mayor, David LeGrand, and he's got

01:55:09.380 an opinion on guns. You know me. I am a strong advocate of the Second Amendment. I own guns.

01:55:15.700 i'm proficient with them i enjoy shooting and uh they're a great form of protection

01:55:23.720 regardless of your physical health or stature or age a gun is the great equalizer if there's

01:55:32.220 someone bigger and stronger than you that wants to do your harm uh they can do that unless you

01:55:38.960 have an equalizer something that puts you on the exact same footing as them if they are armed

01:55:45.440 and in better footing if they aren't.

01:55:48.940 So here is this mayor talking about guns and gun owners, AC5.

01:55:56.020 It changes their tire with a gun. 0.96

01:55:57.920 What they're for is killing human beings. 0.85

01:56:00.000 So it's really hard.

01:56:01.060 I think as a community, we have to start having some shaming around gun possession.

01:56:06.960 I think if you've got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself.

01:56:10.400 I really do.

01:56:11.180 I'm ashamed.

01:56:12.140 Now, I'm sorry.

01:56:13.100 That's going to be the sound bite of the night.

01:56:14.400 The NRA is going to be mad.

01:56:17.100 So, like, you know, I get that we've got a Second Amendment.

01:56:20.780 I get it.

01:56:21.360 No, you don't.

01:56:22.020 You know, you also should be ashamed of yourself because of smoke.

01:56:24.700 That's not against the law.

01:56:26.420 I think if you want a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself.

01:56:28.920 And you should really do some self-requestion.

01:56:31.480 And I think that I just do so much more harm, just like cigarettes.

01:56:35.560 I see so much more harm done than benefit.

01:56:38.680 Oh, yeah.

01:56:39.620 I miss the part in the Constitution that you have the right to bear camels.

01:56:43.020 the right to bear Marlboros, I missed that part.

01:56:47.720 So it's a little different than not smoking.

01:56:51.400 It's a right, a God-given right that we have as Americans.

01:56:55.480 And ashamed?

01:56:56.940 How the hell are you ashamed of any of your other rights? 0.99

01:57:03.000 You should be ashamed of your First Amendment right for spewing that kind of nonsense. 0.99

01:57:08.020 You know, guns are made to kill people. 0.99

01:57:09.860 Yeah.

01:57:10.960 I'm glad you understand that.

01:57:13.020 because you know maybe in your world everyone's wonderful but in the real world uh there are some 0.52

01:57:21.100 people that need to be killed if they're trying to kill you let's say if they're trying to uh

01:57:28.440 kill or assault your family there are horror stories of home invasions where a father a husband 0.99

01:57:36.980 had to stand there or lay on the floor after he was beaten 0.98

01:57:41.120 and watch atrocities being committed against his family.

01:57:45.300 There was a story of a doctor up in Connecticut.

01:57:47.760 Just, you will get the chills.

01:57:50.340 It's terrible.

01:57:51.820 And I will guarantee you that at some point during that evening,

01:57:57.180 because he ended up running out and escaping, the only one that lived,

01:58:01.740 at some point he looked around and went,

01:58:05.000 oh my god i wish i had a gun god i wish i had a gun right now and why didn't he i think if you're

01:58:13.860 a a father a husband you have a family it's your responsibility to make sure you take care of your

01:58:21.520 family and have the best tools available to do that job obviously take safety precautions uh

01:58:28.960 train, teach your family. Too many guys

01:58:32.820 to think that they're going to tuck away their weapon and hide it

01:58:36.780 from their kids and everything. My dad taught me and my brother and

01:58:40.880 sister about firearms and the unbelievable responsibility

01:58:45.060 that they are and how dangerous they are. And you

01:58:48.840 don't touch it. And that works.

01:58:52.580 And then if you have a nut job as a kid, you better identify that

01:58:55.860 and really keep things away.

01:58:57.580 But, you know, everyone's kids are an angel.

01:59:01.440 So, you know, this guy's saying you ought to be ashamed.

01:59:04.800 You ought to be ashamed if you don't have the tools to protect your family.

01:59:11.180 How would you like laying there on the floor, beaten up,

01:59:14.100 watching horrible things happen to your family and go,

01:59:17.000 well, at least I don't have a gun.

01:59:18.920 At least I don't have to feel the shame of owning a gun as I watch.

01:59:23.680 I can't even describe what's happening.

01:59:26.600 But as I watch that, whoo, could be so much worse.

01:59:29.840 I could be a gun owner. 1.00

01:59:32.080 Ah, you dolt. 1.00

01:59:34.080 That's how these liberals think. 1.00

01:59:36.920 They don't understand.

01:59:38.820 We have rights, we exercise them, and you can F off.

01:59:43.120 Okay, back in moments.

01:59:45.080 Don't go anywhere.

01:59:46.400 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:59:50.800 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

01:59:54.800 on the Red Apple Podcast Network

01:59:57.760 The Anthony Cumia Show

02:00:00.540 and who did I want to go to here

02:00:03.580 oh where'd that guy go

02:00:06.100 there's somebody that wanted to talk about

02:00:08.940 what I was just talking about

02:00:10.220 yeah Jim, Jim in Jersey

02:00:12.740 line 5

02:00:14.080 Jim, how you doing Jim, Jim

02:00:17.280 How are we Anthony?

02:00:19.160 Good, good

02:00:19.900 Listen, how happy are we that we don't have a little panty waist like the person in England

02:00:26.440 there running the country here.

02:00:29.300 I mean, every Democratic place in this in this country is run by a little panty waist. 1.00

02:00:34.700 Yeah. 1.00

02:00:35.000 And you can see what happens to it.

02:00:36.600 It destroys whatever they are supposedly leading, whatever they're supposed to be the leader

02:00:42.760 of gets destroyed.

02:00:44.860 Lloyd, it couldn't lead a horse to water, let alone let it drink it.

02:00:50.860 Words of wisdom, Lloyd. 0.97

02:00:54.080 Disgusting, my friend. Disgusting. 1.00

02:00:56.740 Yeah, it could be so much worse. 0.97

02:00:59.520 It really could be so much worse.

02:01:01.140 Every clip I see of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is a reminder, a reminder that in some alternate timeline,

02:01:11.400 There is a president, Kamala Harris, and it is worse than the Biff timeline in Back to the Future.

02:01:20.500 How about his wife?

02:01:21.700 Like, she takes over for him, you know?

02:01:24.860 Could you imagine Melania taking over for Trump and interrupting him? 0.73

02:01:30.620 Yeah, yeah.

02:01:31.860 No, it just, it could be so much worse.

02:01:35.000 I'm glad Trump is in office.

02:01:37.640 I know there's some people that are just raving mad at Donald Trump for doing this, you know, because they're mad at the we're dying.

02:01:49.060 You know, Americans will die for Israel.

02:01:52.100 It's a lot of that going on. 0.61

02:01:54.340 And, you know, while look, I don't like American soldiers dying for any one of our allies.

02:02:01.560 Me neither.

02:02:02.360 I just don't think this is a situation where it isn't beneficial to the United States.

02:02:10.480 I think that Iran has been at war with the United States since the late 70s, and this 0.69

02:02:17.460 is cleaning up. 0.96

02:02:18.560 Kids! 0.62

02:02:19.460 Remember the picture of that kid, the Ayatollah? 0.91

02:02:21.980 We were scared to death. 0.76

02:02:23.140 I was in high school, and on my little army jacket, I had a bomb Iran button.

02:02:29.360 This has been going on forever, and at some point, you've got to just take the bull by, you know, where you take the bull by, and end this.

02:02:42.040 Look, Trump said, hold my beer.

02:02:44.220 I got it.

02:02:44.920 One day.

02:02:46.100 Yep, I hear you.

02:02:47.360 Hey, Jim, thanks, man.

02:02:48.980 Thanks for the call.

02:02:50.360 Take it easy.

02:02:50.800 Have a good night.

02:02:51.880 Yeah, there's that clip that's been making the rounds of Kamala Harris being asked about Iran.

02:02:59.360 And what would you do if they started procuring plutonium, making plutonium for atomic bombs?

02:03:11.240 And she just goes, don't.

02:03:13.740 I would say don't.

02:03:15.940 Ooh.

02:03:16.660 And was that supposed to be scary?

02:03:19.060 And then Trump, at a rally, he's asked the same thing. 0.99

02:03:22.500 And he goes, I'd bomb the crap out of them. 0.97

02:03:25.640 And he uses, you know, the S word, the dreaded S word, FCC regulated radio. 0.97

02:03:32.980 But it was so telling.

02:03:35.560 It's such a great example of where we are.

02:03:40.380 And thank God we are where we are right now because, oh, my goodness, we could be in such a worse, such a worse place.

02:03:51.340 All right, let me pop this up and see,

02:03:55.900 because there were a couple of more things I wanted to hit on.

02:04:00.000 Ooh, there it is.

02:04:02.500 Chuck Schumer.

02:04:04.880 Chuck Schumer, every week, this guy.

02:04:08.420 Every day, he gets up there, and he just says

02:04:11.540 what the majority of America does not want,

02:04:15.720 doesn't want to hear.

02:04:16.760 we hear about the uh the save act we want ids the vast majority of this country even democrats even

02:04:26.180 liberals want id it takes the cheating thing or at least that aspect of it off the table

02:04:34.140 you know even the people that are accused of cheating want uh id to say see we're not cheating

02:04:42.880 They're showing ID, and let's hope for the best there.

02:04:48.920 But Chuck Schumer insists that it's racist and sexist. 0.94

02:04:53.300 Women won't be able to vote because of ID.

02:04:56.220 How does that even work? 0.99

02:04:58.440 You know, it took me like two seconds because I Googled again.

02:05:02.900 How do you replace a lost birth certificate?

02:05:07.020 And it was right there.

02:05:08.200 It was right at the site to go to, the form to fill out online, and then they send you another birth certificate.

02:05:16.400 You just got to know where you were born, your parents' name, your mother's maiden name, all this info, and then you get it back.

02:05:23.160 And they're talking about this mystery, this impossible task, a quest to get your birth certificate back.

02:05:34.160 Bernie Sanders, I don't know.

02:05:35.780 I haven't had a birth certificate in many years.

02:05:38.200 I don't even know how to get it.

02:05:40.360 Where do you get it? 0.96

02:05:41.620 Google it, dummy. 0.58

02:05:43.740 But no, it's impossible.

02:05:46.020 And since you can't get a birth certificate, you can't get an ID.

02:05:49.260 I don't think I've ever brought a birth certificate into the Department of Motor Vehicles.

02:05:54.340 And I've walked out with a license.

02:05:56.260 There are so many other ways to prove who you are.

02:05:59.980 But they want to make it sound like you need either a passport or a birth certificate.

02:06:03.160 And they think minorities are completely incapable of getting either, so they try to make it a race thing.

02:06:11.660 And then women got married, so the name on their ID, what? 0.66

02:06:16.180 Every married woman has an ID, and you could show it and vote.

02:06:21.660 I don't understand where this comes from. 0.99

02:06:24.520 Well, I kind of do. 1.00

02:06:25.840 They're liars, and they're idiots. 1.00

02:06:29.920 Maybe that's it. 1.00

02:06:30.660 But here's Chuck Schumer.

02:06:32.740 This is him talking about the immigration bill that includes, of course, a path to citizenship for millions of invaders, I like to call them, AC4.

02:06:45.800 What would an immigration deal look like between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate? 0.65

02:06:52.820 Well, we had a good model in 2013, as you may remember, bipartisan.

02:06:57.840 John McCain and I headed the gang of eight.

02:06:59.880 We had four Democrats, four Republicans, including Marco Rubio, who's now gone to the other side on this.

02:07:05.960 But we could come up with a bill like that.

02:07:08.760 It toughens up the border.

02:07:10.580 It gives a path to citizenship, a long, tough path to citizenship for 11 million people who are here.

02:07:20.300 It allows high-tech people who are needed in our industries to come in.

02:07:26.080 High-tech?

02:07:27.040 It was a bill that got 70 votes in the Senate, or 68 or 69.

02:07:32.380 It got Democrats and Republicans.

02:07:34.540 That's the way to go.

02:07:35.780 This has always been his take on what would be needed.

02:07:40.500 And what it is, is exactly what was happening under Biden.

02:07:45.780 This isn't a tough border.

02:07:48.280 This isn't shutting down the border.

02:07:49.920 This isn't deporting people.

02:07:52.740 A tough path to citizenship.

02:07:54.620 And by the way, while they're waiting for that path to citizenship, they're running around this country, utilizing every financial program that we're wasting our money on and murdering people.

02:08:08.200 But it's a path to citizenship.

02:08:10.780 So Chuck's been saying this kind of thing for many years, every time it comes up.

02:08:15.140 And that's why, you know, it will be very, very difficult for this country if the Democrats do get in charge of the House, the Senate and the White House.

02:08:30.640 i mean because first of all it will be payback time that's exactly what they want they want

02:08:37.220 payback vindictive spiteful payback nothing that has anything to do with the the better uh betterment

02:08:46.380 of the country they just want to get back at everybody and they always talk about how trump

02:08:51.200 is doing that how where where are the people in jail where are the people in prison where are the

02:08:57.280 people on trial they tried trump out of their uh um spite they had an unjust trial and they

02:09:06.920 uh convicted him they wanted to put him in prison somehow he squeaked out the presidency

02:09:14.060 but uh that's what they want to do and if if they get power again everything everything we're

02:09:22.040 holding on to by our fingernails right now will be ripped away and we will go back to where we were

02:09:29.960 but even worse even worse imagine the the pallet of money the pallet of apology money we would send

02:09:40.000 iran under uh democrat uh rule in this country i'm so sorry i'm so sorry jacob fray would be

02:09:51.420 crying at the Ayatollah's coffin like he was at George Floyd's golden casket.

02:09:57.200 I can't wait to see Jacob Frey wailing, wailing, bawling, crying at the casket of the Ayatollah

02:10:07.520 Khomeini. 0.85

02:10:09.240 That's who they are. 1.00

02:10:11.100 They never drop that face.

02:10:14.120 We know who they are.

02:10:15.420 We know what they want.

02:10:16.680 They want to destroy this country.

02:10:19.160 And it ain't good.

02:10:21.420 It ain't good.

02:10:23.820 Let's go to line three.

02:10:25.520 Eli, Eli's coming.

02:10:27.940 Eli, what's up?

02:10:29.780 Yeah, a lot of liberals are complaining that Trump was unjustified.

02:10:34.520 He has no excuse for going after Iran, Diatola.

02:10:39.900 You might remember that the liberals spent many years.

02:10:43.940 The main story was that American soldiers are being killed in Iraq.

02:10:48.320 They're being injured. They're being traumatized. It's terrible.

02:10:51.900 Civilians are being killed in Iraq. 0.98

02:10:54.060 And almost all of those people who were killed in Iraq was because of Iran. 0.60

02:10:58.640 They were either armed by Iran or trained by Iran, financed by Iran.

02:11:04.380 Some of them were Iranian agents. 0.78

02:11:06.220 Right.

02:11:06.420 And so almost all of those, everything the liberals are complaining about, all those years, was mainly about Iran.

02:11:13.000 So if they're looking for an excuse to have some regime change in Iran, Kamala Harris says it's dangerous to do regime change in Iran. 0.83

02:11:21.920 Well, it's dangerous to keep Ayatollah in charge of Iran. 0.61

02:11:26.360 Something had to give. 0.61

02:11:28.240 It's been going on too long.

02:11:30.680 And God forbid we get into a situation where we have a weak American leadership.

02:11:35.800 We've seen what that looks like and we've seen how detrimental it is to this country.

02:11:40.960 If we have that type of leadership in this country, then they do what they want.

02:11:49.140 All of these people crawl out of the woodwork, all these terrorist organizations, and to have Iran just shoveling money at them to murder people, it can't happen.

02:12:02.440 So, good.

02:12:03.400 I'm glad.

02:12:03.820 Like I said, I'm glad.

02:12:05.400 I don't want a protracted war.

02:12:07.880 I want this to be remedied pretty quickly.

02:12:10.960 And let's see what happens.

02:12:13.460 But thank you, sir.

02:12:14.600 Thank you, Eli.

02:12:17.200 There was a couple of protests, as the media calls it, protests.

02:12:20.940 These were attacks on embassies and consulates in pro-Iranian Iraqis.

02:12:31.740 That's a weird thing.

02:12:33.160 That's like Jews for Christ. 1.00

02:12:35.080 Pro-Iranian Iraqis.

02:12:37.140 They're attacking a U.S. embassy in Baghdad, and then a bunch of Pakistanis started storming the U.S. consulate in Karachi, and whoops-a-daisy, I was reading about 30 of the Pakistanis killed by U.S. Marines.

02:12:53.040 this is again let's look at what happened in benghazi uh that was under barack obama

02:13:02.920 hillary rodham was um secretary of state it was her responsibility and nothing was done they knew 0.98

02:13:13.760 this attack was going on those poor bastards were left out on their own they didn't want to upset 0.93

02:13:21.180 I don't know what it was, but they did not give the guards or the people that were there working at the Benghazi consulate anything. 0.99

02:13:32.880 They let them be murdered.

02:13:36.680 We've come a long way.

02:13:38.360 See the difference?

02:13:40.220 Do you see how different it is with strong leadership?

02:13:44.500 Because we saw what happened under Obama and Hillary.

02:13:50.080 and now we see what happens under trump they they get all pissed off that we bombed iran

02:13:57.880 they attack our embassies and years ago this would have been like oh look at the marines

02:14:03.900 they were loving it i bet all that training you get to use it so um hoorah hoorah marines job

02:14:14.740 well done

02:14:15.940 I guess 1.00

02:14:18.760 more immigrant

02:14:19.800 discussion with actress

02:14:22.760 a wonderful actress

02:14:24.180 Kristen Stewart

02:14:26.320 you know her, is it a boy, is it a girl

02:14:29.160 we have no idea

02:14:30.460 but they get on the red

02:14:33.000 carpet at these

02:14:34.140 award shows

02:14:35.980 and they think

02:14:37.440 they're going to tell you a thing or two

02:14:40.140 and then they're whisked away in a limo

02:14:42.140 a big black SUV

02:14:43.820 to their big palatial mansions on stolen land, man,

02:14:49.440 and they don't have to deal with it. 0.93

02:14:51.760 And then they say, hey, as many immigrants, illegals, whatever, come on in. 0.97

02:14:56.400 Because you have to deal with it. 1.00

02:14:58.040 We don't. You do.

02:14:59.820 So here's a wonderful actress, Kristen Stewart. 1.00

02:15:05.340 Immigrants. I can't stand... 1.00

02:15:08.600 Immigrants? 1.00

02:15:09.060 The idea that the dismantling of the culture that did have a hand in making me who I am, 0.65

02:15:15.160 which is so meaningless in the face of people's lives being completely unearthed, uprooted, destroyed.

02:15:21.860 This is not who we are.

02:15:24.200 So where I'm from, I don't identify with that right now.

02:15:29.060 And so I definitely am dying every day thinking, so do we make movies about this?

02:15:34.680 Do we throw all of our money at it?

02:15:36.140 Do we stop buying burgers in the daytime?

02:15:39.220 What do we do about this?

02:15:40.420 I can't fathom that it's happening until it doesn't happen.

02:15:46.760 It's like Los Angeles doesn't exist without all of us.

02:15:54.320 Well, that's true.

02:15:56.340 Los Angeles doesn't exist without all of us.

02:15:58.560 Yeah, it would just be deserted like a post-apocalyptic landscape. 1.00

02:16:04.460 She is an idiot. 1.00

02:16:06.140 But I don't think anybody thought she wasn't just talking about the the immigrants made us the people we are. 1.00

02:16:18.200 And it's the same line of crap from all of them. 0.99

02:16:23.800 And then she even talks about it. 1.00

02:16:25.520 You know, oh, when I I was brought up here and I do this and I live here and that again, she doesn't live anywhere near immigrants.

02:16:36.140 She might see a couple mowing her lawn or cleaning her pool. 0.98

02:16:41.580 But other than that, just stop. 1.00

02:16:44.760 Stop trying to sound like you know what it's like to live amongst immigrants.

02:16:49.660 And every immigrant story, especially in 2026, isn't the poor, downtrodden, but smart and a guy that wants to work. 0.98

02:17:02.980 That isn't the case. 0.82

02:17:04.340 A lot of people are coming here because they know it's freebie, freebie time, especially under Democrats.

02:17:09.260 Or you go to a Democrat-run city, a sanctuary city.

02:17:12.460 They don't want to get their hands dirty and actually work. 1.00

02:17:15.960 They're here to bilk the system and get a good suckle so they can use our tax dollars to hate America.

02:17:28.280 to go out there and and vocally say we hate america we hate everything you stand for

02:17:35.360 we hate the people that built the country and uh you know actress uh kristin stewart there tells us

02:17:43.600 that's how we're supposed to uh feel like she does is my limo here yet uh the red carpet

02:17:52.020 Meanwhile, try to get on that red carpet that Kristen Stewart was talking on. 1.00

02:17:57.800 Try to pass whatever barriers, boundaries, borders, may I use the word, and go up and try to say hi to Kristen Stewart. 1.00

02:18:07.960 And you will be tackled by giant bodyguards that will whisk you away. 1.00

02:18:15.820 That's the kind of protection she has against anyone. 1.00

02:18:19.680 Never mind some dirty immigrant that might want to come up and say hi to her with his grass-stained pants. 0.99

02:18:28.720 Yeah, but that's Hollywood. 1.00

02:18:31.840 Just another example.

02:18:33.120 I got a million of them. 1.00

02:18:34.920 Every week we hear from Hollywood, and it's the same stupidity every week. 1.00

02:18:40.860 All right, stick around. 1.00

02:18:42.400 We'll be right back.

02:18:44.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:18:50.400 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:18:56.680 The Anthony Cumia Show.

02:18:59.540 And Bill Clinton had an opening statement for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

02:19:07.360 I guess they got him to talk about the Epstein files and what he did or didn't do.

02:19:15.960 now i saw some video of this uh he looks like the older version of him lying about having sex with 0.92

02:19:24.880 monica lewinsky that's what it was he just looked it was so reminiscent of i did not have sex with

02:19:31.820 that woman not once uh and that was obviously a complete lie but um here's a part of his statement

02:19:40.300 And he says, I'm here today for two reasons.

02:19:42.700 The first is that I love my country.

02:19:44.840 And America is built upon the idea that no person is above the law, even the president, especially presidents.

02:19:52.080 Democracy requires that every person play their part.

02:19:54.780 And I hope that by being here today, we can bring ourselves a little further away from the brink and back to a country where we can disagree with another civilly.

02:20:06.160 Yeah, right.

02:20:07.820 Who are the ones that don't want to talk?

02:20:09.440 Who are the ones that, at protests, beat up people that want to ask them why they're even there in the first place?

02:20:16.960 Don't come to us and talk about civility.

02:20:22.020 He says, the second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice but healing.

02:20:31.520 Hmm.

02:20:32.400 They've been waiting too long for both.

02:20:34.740 Through my brief acquaintance with Epstein, though it ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions, he's using keywords like limited, never, don't know what you're talking about.

02:20:51.780 He didn't have any indication of what was going on.

02:20:54.680 I'm here to offer what little I know so that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening.

02:21:01.240 But before we start, I have to get personal.

02:21:04.160 You made Hillary come in. 0.79

02:21:05.900 She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.

02:21:08.880 Maybe killing him, but other than that, nothing.

02:21:15.680 She has no memory of even meeting him.

02:21:19.480 She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties.

02:21:24.320 Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her, was simply not right.

02:21:29.720 there

02:21:30.680 she was the secretary of state 0.96

02:21:34.900 and the wife

02:21:36.840 of you being president

02:21:38.700 and there are pictures

02:21:40.980 of her

02:21:41.560 her daughters

02:21:43.920 both of your daughter's wedding

02:21:46.300 Ghislaine was there

02:21:48.920 it just

02:21:51.000 of course we'd want to hear from her

02:21:53.240 we began this hearing

02:21:56.780 with raising my hand and taking

02:21:58.760 the oath to tell the truth, like you did during the Lewinsky thing. He took an oath.

02:22:07.040 But everyone has a responsibility to be honest with those they represent, whether you raised

02:22:11.460 your right hand or not. Okay. Maybe he's saying like, hey, even though I raised it,

02:22:15.540 each and every one of us owes nothing less than the truth and accuracy to the American people.

02:22:24.320 Now, let me say what you're going to hear.

02:22:27.160 Now, let me say what you're going to hear from me.

02:22:28.760 First, I had no idea the crimes Epstein was committing.

02:22:31.680 No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that, at the end of the day, matter more than your interpretation of these 20-year-old photos.

02:22:45.200 I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see.

02:22:48.920 I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn't do.

02:22:52.520 I saw nothing.

02:22:53.540 I see nothing, the old Sergeant Schultz.

02:22:58.680 I did nothing.

02:23:00.540 As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, victim, victim, victim, victim.

02:23:05.960 Not only would I not have flown on this plane, on his plane,

02:23:10.600 if I had any inkling what was going on, I would have turned him in myself

02:23:14.500 and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.

02:23:20.560 But even with 20-20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause.

02:23:28.520 You often hear me say that I don't recall.

02:23:31.480 That might be unsatisfying, but I'm not going to say something I'm not sure of.

02:23:36.620 I mean, even Reagan did that.

02:23:38.660 Yes, I don't recall.

02:23:40.180 I don't remember.

02:23:42.020 And they said he had Alzheimer's at that point.

02:23:44.700 This is not merely for my benefit, but because it doesn't help you for me to play detective 24 years later.

02:23:52.100 That's other people's jobs.

02:23:54.640 Since I'm under oath, I will not falsely state that I am looking forward to your questions,

02:23:58.920 but I am ready to answer them to the best of my abilities consistent with the facts as I know them.

02:24:05.260 The legitimate, the logical, and even the outlandish.

02:24:08.680 um can can anyone give this guy the benefit of the doubt that he's telling the truth at any point

02:24:16.820 especially in a forum so similar to the monica lewinsky depositions that he gave where he took

02:24:26.380 an oath he looked into that camera and told the american people i did not have sex with that woman

02:24:33.760 So now when he takes an oath, looks into the camera and says, I did not know anything, I didn't do anything, how the hell are you supposed to believe him?

02:24:43.880 How are you supposed to believe this guy?

02:24:46.400 Well, I'll tell you, you're not.

02:24:48.520 You're not supposed to believe this guy.

02:24:50.840 And the left and the Democrats will try to drag Trump into this all the times his name is mentioned.

02:24:57.340 There's not one allegation that has anything to back it up.

02:25:02.340 There are fake AI pictures I've seen, but any other picture that's actually him and Jeffrey Epstein is at some huge social event where I'm sure hundreds of pictures were taken with everybody.

02:25:14.500 But there are pictures with Bill Clinton and him on the plane at little getaways.

02:25:22.160 There's a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress, and it was hanging on the wall at Jeffrey Epstein's place.

02:25:30.740 so uh i'm not quite willing to believe bill clinton that he knew nothing i did nothing

02:25:42.240 saw nothing like uh like schultz from hogan's heroes all right people i adore you thank you
