00:01:22.920 I do hear, though, that another they're trying to anyway, the weather people trying to say there's going to be another bomb cyclone, bomb cyclone, panic, everyone panic.

00:01:34.740 I think that's for the upper Midwest, Chicago area or something.

00:01:38.880 But I'm not a weatherman.

00:01:40.300 I'm not a meaty urologist.

00:01:43.200 I always thought that word would fit well for a fat urologist, a meaty urologist.

00:01:54.380 Thank you.

00:01:55.040 You could take that one if you want.

00:01:56.620 Tell it at the parties.

00:01:58.240 There's a big party going on in the studios up there in New York City right now.

00:02:03.260 I'm broadcasting up to the New York studios, out to the general population, and in betwixt, there's a big party going on.

00:02:11.420 i think i was invited to it like three hours before it kicked off and i'm a few hundred miles

00:02:17.040 away couldn't make it couldn't make it wish i could i do like a good shindig it's uh apparently

00:02:25.080 an oscar party oscar oscar oscar it is the 98th oscar awards the academy awards and um my god

00:02:38.580 i really don't um care personally you know i do a show

00:02:46.380 allegedly i allegedly do a radio uh show so you know we have to sometimes comment and talk

00:02:56.060 about things we're not particularly interested in and uh i haven't really had an interest in

00:03:03.260 the academy awards in quite some time uh years ago it was great you could sit back with your

00:03:09.480 family the old tv guide had uh had a a page a full page even even more than just one page

00:03:19.140 of all the nominees and there were little boxes next to them you could check off

00:03:23.680 which one uh you thought was going to win and you'd uh you'd have your favorites and you'd make 0.99

00:03:29.880 little friendly bets with your family and then you'd all sit down and watch the the damn thing 0.95

00:03:36.380 and uh it was great it was a great family experience and um and we cared we cared about 0.98

00:03:44.480 the actors and actresses and the movies and um you know who's gonna get best uh special effects

00:03:53.280 who's going to get best sound in a foreign short film always my favorite category by the way uh

00:04:01.660 but uh now uh i they have tainted the movie industry so much so badly with their uh holier

00:04:16.440 than thou attitudes and they're we're going to uh tell you how to live your life and we're going

00:04:23.800 to tell you what america should be and they are the least qualified people they they live

00:04:31.620 away from the general public uh some of these people if they were child stars uh and they grew

00:04:41.840 up in the industry they have no clue they've never known what it was like to live amongst

00:04:50.260 the wild animals the uh the the the prairie fed americans they don't know like i've heard

00:05:03.540 leo dicaprio is a nice guy i've heard that i've had some friends uh of course that were police

00:05:09.640 officers in new york city and he would roll in with his posse if they may use a word the kids

00:05:15.200 are using today posse and uh and he was very nice he was very cordial to everybody uh but that guy

00:05:26.060 has been a celebrity since he was a little child and he is now i mean he's a huge he's bigger than

00:05:35.780 he was when he's a well bigger physically too than a child but um as far as a child star goes

00:05:41.640 uh he has made it you know he actually grew up constantly in movies i don't think he was ever

00:05:48.960 out of it and then had a comeback you know and uh how does this guy that's lived that life

00:05:57.720 know anything about how the american people live their lives the struggles they have

00:06:05.100 uh their their ideologies and uh what what annoys us yeah i worked for a living don't worry about it

00:06:16.100 so it it it disqualifies them in my mind look they could talk everyone's got freedom of speech

00:06:24.080 but you kind of disqualify what they're saying because you know they don't have any credibility

00:06:31.480 or any experience in what the hell they're talking about

00:06:37.220 when it comes to living a life.

00:06:42.720 There are some celebrities that it didn't click for them until later on

00:06:47.260 or some that were child stars and then they aged out of that genre,

00:06:55.520 that place in Hollywood.

00:06:57.720 God knows the atrocities that happened to them.

00:07:00.760 and then they make a comeback and they do very well.

00:07:06.060 And maybe they can say, yeah, I've worked for a living.

00:07:09.580 I had to wait tables or park cars before I got this movie.

00:07:15.220 And at least they know.

00:07:16.500 They have some inkling of what the hell is going on in the world. 0.99

00:07:19.680 But most of these vapid, holier-than-thou jackasses 0.97

00:07:26.680 that you see on the red carpet, they don't know. 0.97

00:07:29.980 They don't know.

00:07:30.760 But they have no problem telling you what you should be doing.

00:07:35.040 And that has just brillo and bleached away the shine, the glitter on old Tinseltown, Hollywood.

00:07:47.540 And I was just, as I do throughout the program, I will be checking X, X, formerly Twitter.

00:07:58.760 My account is Anthony Cumia, and I post a little thing saying I'm going to be doing this show.

00:08:03.600 And if you have comments on the show and you can't get through on the phones, you could reach me there.

00:08:09.160 I check, I read things, and my comment on it on the show.

00:08:13.040 If you want the phone line, that would be 800-848-9222.

00:08:18.900 800-848-9222.

00:08:22.160 two and uh the first thing i see this is seconds seconds in to the academy awards the host conan

00:08:31.740 o'brien conan funny guy right conan o'brien show is very funny we started losing uh him

00:08:40.960 with the haiti situation when donald trump called haiti a uh crap hole i have to adhere to certain 0.97

00:08:49.840 rules and regulations by the government uh he called it a a crap hole paraphrase 0.86

00:08:56.300 and conan thought it would be great to take his show down to haiti and do a few shows from down

00:09:04.380 there and uh talk about how wonderful haiti is and he went to a resort and he was protected by

00:09:13.580 I can't even imagine the amount of security that Conan O'Brien gets down in Haiti.

00:09:20.800 And they show him drinking a coconut drink, floating in the water and saying, 0.98

00:09:25.680 ah, does this look like a crap hole? 0.98

00:09:28.180 No. 0.98

00:09:29.660 No.

00:09:31.180 I'm sure in 1968, some of the beaches of Vietnam looked awesome. 0.98

00:09:36.720 I wouldn't want to surf on them, unless you're Kilgore. 0.95

00:09:40.640 but uh i i think he was trying to cover for what for the clintons all the money they contributed

00:09:49.720 that supposedly contributed that did nothing for haiti i don't know i don't know what the motive

00:09:54.500 is here but conan he lost me there i thought he was a very funny guy i thought he was a regular 0.88

00:10:00.540 kind of knock around funny guy and then he does this haiti thing no haiti is a crap hole and 0.67

00:10:07.660 especially now look at it now there's people eating other people to get their strength that's 0.99

00:10:15.340 what i hear there are uh warlords that have bizarre names buck naked general buck naked

00:10:25.180 uh is down there i don't know if he's still down there but he was

00:10:29.180 and um that doesn't sound very good to me so conan's hosting and his first joke of the night

00:10:38.020 was uh hey it's the first time since 2012 there are no british actors nominated for best actor

00:10:46.100 or best actress a british spokesperson said yeah well at least we arrest our pedophiles

00:10:53.080 get it now the the unbelievable gall to to say that joke in front of the hollywood community 0.79

00:11:09.520 probably the biggest uh collection of pedos uh there have been uh so many young stars that have 0.57

00:11:21.000 been destroyed because of the hollywood industry taking advantage of the youngsters and spitting 0.90

00:11:29.140 them out the other end of this hollywood machine uh drug addicts uh psychological disasters

00:11:37.040 mental patients and uh to make a joke like that and you know what he's doing is uh he's firing

00:11:45.440 that one at donald trump who's been accused of all kinds of things the epstein files and there's

00:11:50.440 nothing there's nothing there of legitimacy that you could say oh yeah they should arrest the guy

00:11:56.180 he did this that or the other thing nothing but that's what he's doing and and i'm sure they all

00:12:01.400 chuckled and laughed as they looked next to them and uh know that people in that audience they're

00:12:08.420 sitting in that well-dressed well-to-do audience they're sitting in are um are ghoulish criminals 0.93

00:12:15.920 as far as child abuse goes. 0.99

00:12:18.880 So that's how we kick it off with a hypocritical joke 0.93

00:12:23.980 by Conan, once funny Conan O'Brien.

00:12:28.440 There's also, we'll get to this in a bit when we come back,

00:12:33.800 the requirements in order to even be nominated by the Academy for movies.

00:12:42.340 And it's an insane collection of diversity, equity and inclusion requirements that I believe completely tear asunder the ability for an artist to show their art because they're forced to to use certain actors and actresses.

00:13:03.040 It's a catastrophe.

00:13:05.180 And we'll talk about it next.

00:13:06.880 Stick around.

00:13:07.780 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:13:12.340 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:13:19.260 the anthony cumia show thanks for tuning in on this sunday evening oscar night who

00:13:26.760 the excitement's in the air uh you know i i am reminded of a story that i told many years ago

00:13:38.620 when I was with the Opie and Anthony show.

00:13:41.580 I was the Anthony portion, if you didn't know.

00:13:44.280 But myself and Opie, we went out to Hollywood, California,

00:13:49.520 for the Oscar awards.

00:13:52.200 And we actually were doing broadcasts from the comedy store.

00:13:56.640 And we had a remote set up, and we were interviewing celebrities.

00:14:02.660 Celebrities.

00:14:03.360 And then afterward, we figured we'd go over to the Oscar party

00:14:06.580 that they have every year.

00:14:08.620 and uh we couldn't get near the place we were trying to stand at one point we were standing

00:14:16.540 on a log outside the fenced in area to look over the fence and see celebrities

00:14:22.240 and we were told we weren't even allowed to stand on the log 1.00

00:14:27.780 this is how protected these these hollywood uh jackasses are as they tell you to you know 1.00

00:14:40.680 be be uh tolerant and diversity is our greatest strength and uh invite a illegal into your

00:14:48.360 household and whatever we weren't allowed to stand on the log looking over the fence at the

00:14:57.120 The anointed Hollywood celebrities.

00:15:01.120 We always got a big laugh out of that. 0.99

00:15:03.240 It's like we are just pieces of garbage that they don't find worthy enough to gaze upon them over a fence. 0.99

00:15:13.760 Unbelievable. 0.98

00:15:15.100 But we celebrate them tonight.

00:15:17.420 It's the 96th, is it?

00:15:20.760 No.

00:15:21.220 Oh, 98th Academy Award.

00:15:24.580 starting in 19 19 jesus anthony get it straight starting with the 96th academy award in 2024

00:15:33.820 the academy decided that there were going to be requirements

00:15:40.320 in in motion pictures to be eligible for best picture and these requirements were put in place

00:15:50.420 because some people thought the Oscars were too white.

00:15:55.380 Remember Oscars too white?

00:15:56.980 It was a hashtag back when we used hashtags.

00:16:01.780 So they screamed, they panicked, they were guilted,

00:16:07.700 they felt terrible as if they invaded a foreign land

00:16:12.600 and killed the indigenous people and set up camp.

00:16:16.080 So they had to do something.

00:16:17.780 and what they did was make a requirements your movie will not even be eligible for a nomination

00:16:28.500 if it doesn't have these certain qualifications and uh i don't see this as a good thing but

00:16:36.800 who am i uh on screen representation this is the racial ethnic and sex requirements

00:16:44.360 to be eligible for the best picture on screen representation standard a must meet one one of

00:16:53.900 the following lead actor or significant supporting cast at least one lead actor or significant

00:17:02.140 supporting cast is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group they give examples

00:17:07.900 Asian, black, Hispanics, Latinx or Latinx, indigenous, Middle Eastern, North African, Pacific Islander.

00:17:18.300 So you're forced to make a change if your screenplay or your motion picture did not include one of these people.

00:17:29.340 You now have to change your impression of what your movie was supposed to be.

00:17:37.900 As an artist, as a writer, as a producer, director,

00:17:42.740 you now need to alter what your vision of that picture was going to be 1.00

00:17:49.340 and shove a big, fat Pacific Islander in there maybe 0.78

00:17:53.380 as a lead or significant supporting cast member. 1.00

00:17:59.980 Imagine that.

00:18:01.080 imagine the horror if you want both of your leads to be white guys like uh true lies true lies

00:18:12.440 arnold schwarzenegger and uh what's his name it's it's two white guys well you can't do that

00:18:20.320 although they did have a middle eastern villain in that but i'm sure there'd be

00:18:24.460 hell to pay tom arnold yeah tom arnold i'm sure they'd be hell to pay nowadays if you

00:18:30.440 got a Middle Easterner as the villain, which we saw in that movie. 0.98

00:18:34.520 Now they have to be Russians, like the evil Russian guy. 0.99

00:18:38.560 The Russian mafia is the bad guy these days. 0.98

00:18:42.240 Or if you don't want to do that, you could choose general cast members. 0.55

00:18:47.120 At least 30% of all actors in minor roles are from at least two underrepresented groups.

00:18:55.960 examples women racial ethnic groups lgbtq plus or disabled i want someone rolling in the background

00:19:07.120 uh on a rascal scooter or i need um lesbians to be making out in front of a store when my lead 0.98

00:19:16.980 character walks on by how about that no it's not suiting you well maybe this one will get you 0.65

00:19:24.740 theme or narrative the main storyline theme or narrative focuses on an underrepresented group

00:19:31.580 this one's really hilarious oh let me just rewrite everything about my story because it doesn't

00:19:37.700 involve a theme or narrative focusing on underrepresented groups well if you want to be 0.98

00:19:44.220 considered for an academy award you damn well better get your uh your crap straight and make 1.00

00:19:52.060 your movie about underrepresented groups what if it's a white guy but he's the normal idiotic 1.00

00:20:00.680 retarded white guy that we see in movies these days and in uh commercials and everywhere actually 1.00

00:20:07.100 how about that how about they add that to the list yeah we'll just make an idiot and he's the 1.00

00:20:13.180 white guy and then all the other underrepresented groups could laugh at him and then tell him 1.00

00:20:17.260 what he's supposed to do right there you go uh there's also creative leadership

00:20:26.280 and crews this is the standard b this must also be this isn't one of the one choices you better

00:20:34.880 choose the uh significant actor general cast or theme narrative because now this is new you got

00:20:39.880 to do this also creative leadership and crew must meet one of the following leadership team at least

00:20:48.120 two creative leaders or department heads example director writer composer belong to an underrepresented

00:20:56.260 group including at least one from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group

00:21:03.920 imagine like star wars indiana jones you have your your director steven spielberg george lucas

00:21:16.980 your writers spielberg and lucas and other writers that help composer john williams

00:21:23.040 i i don't think anybody can say that we missed out because john williams put the music to so many

00:21:32.780 spielberg lucas movies i don't think we could really say boy if only if only uh an underrepresented

00:21:43.720 group including an underrepresented racial or ethnic group came up with you know the music to

00:21:51.740 star wars or indiana jones or et or close encounters or yeah right i'm right there right

00:22:00.420 right right um then of course we have uh overall crew you could pick that if you don't want your

00:22:10.840 director writer or composer to be underrepresented at least 30 of the crew belongs to underrepresented

00:22:16.960 groups overall crew so if you don't want two of your creative leaders to be from an underrepresented

00:22:24.120 group a third a solid one-third of your crew has to be part of the group additional standards

00:22:33.720 cover paid apprenticeships in-house marketing and production teams emphasizing diversity and

00:22:39.940 hiring and training holy jesus palomino that isn't going to interfere with with somebody's

00:22:52.180 vision of the movie they want to make and it's required to be eligible enjoy your academy awards

00:23:01.440 this evening folks uh we'll be right back it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast

00:25:27.980 bowl alternative that kid rock and company put on uh but again it's all one-sided it's all one-sided

00:25:37.340 Are we going to get any jokes about Bill Clinton and Hillary with the Epstein list and their testimony?

00:25:47.020 Are we going to get that?

00:25:48.360 Are we going to get any jazzy Jasmine Crockett and how she self-destructed and had a security guard that was wanted by the police and shot in a standoff by the police with the police?

00:26:00.460 So I don't know.

00:26:01.380 But let me know if if there's any jokes that use the left, the Democrats or these celebrities in any funny way, because I doubt it.

00:26:19.220 I honestly doubt it.

00:26:22.460 What happened?

00:26:23.840 I tried to hit one of the phone lines and it just went gray on me.

00:26:28.780 Kevin.

00:26:30.480 Oh.

00:26:31.380 How about that?

00:26:35.240 How about that?

00:26:35.980 There it is.

00:26:36.500 Terry!

00:26:37.500 Terry in Dutchess County.

00:26:39.960 What's up, my friend?

00:26:41.060 Well, yeah, now you know what I'm talking about.

00:26:45.440 Uh-oh.

00:26:46.460 The knife.

00:26:47.300 The knife.

00:26:48.900 The knife.

00:26:50.880 What are you talking about, Terry?

00:26:52.660 How did that thing work?

00:26:55.980 How did it work?

00:26:57.520 I got to just bail on Terry.

00:26:59.840 I don't know what he's saying.

00:27:01.380 There's Kevin, Kevin Long Beach.

00:27:03.520 What's up, my friend?

00:27:05.640 Hey, was that Teddy or Terry?

00:27:07.840 It said Terry.

00:27:08.960 It was probably Teddy.

00:27:11.300 How you doing, Ed?

00:27:12.780 Good, good.

00:27:13.240 Yeah, you are translating everything.

00:27:15.420 I mean, ever since that mandate came down from the Academy,

00:27:18.160 I think it's pretty much more after George Floyd as well.

00:27:21.020 Yep.

00:27:21.480 They've gotten everything they wanted, and now you've got nothing.

00:27:25.500 Hollywood is dying, and sound stages are closing,

00:27:28.600 production companies moving out.

00:27:30.240 But, you know, why do you think you don't see Nicholson or Hoffman or Eastwood or Maureen Beatty in the audience anymore?

00:27:38.040 Yeah, they're still alive.

00:27:39.960 Why aren't they there?

00:27:41.120 Hollywood royalty. 1.00

00:27:42.580 Parade them out and sit them down.

00:27:44.700 Yeah.

00:27:45.920 All the talent.

00:27:47.060 All the talent is gone. 0.86

00:27:48.120 You know, Wicked and the sequel didn't have one white person on the crew? 0.85

00:27:53.800 Yeah, see, they adhered to the regulations of the Academy. 0.50

00:27:58.480 Amazing.

00:27:59.220 That's right.

00:27:59.640 Yeah. It really is something else when they sacrifice the quality of the movie.

00:28:08.400 If you put requirements on art, you've lost. That's it.

00:28:13.880 And and to say that you need certain actors or or writers, directors, composers, crew, whatever it is, that is someone's vision.

00:28:25.800 and you are requiring something be put in there that they did not want put in there.

00:28:32.780 Now, it doesn't make them racist or sexist or homophobic.

00:28:36.240 It's just what their vision was.

00:28:38.640 And we've seen the result of that before this criteria.

00:28:43.600 Amazing movies.

00:28:45.380 I cannot find anything to watch anymore.

00:28:49.380 and and i think it's because they've concentrated so much on pouring this diversity equity and

00:28:58.360 inclusion crap all over everything and it definitely ruins the product and we've seen it

00:29:06.500 you know never has go woke go broke uh meant so much as it has in the hollywood circles

00:29:13.140 that's true and this centers you know i said let me watch one of these that are that are nominated

00:29:18.420 and so I could meet the meet with something.

00:29:20.760 It's a vampire movie.

00:29:22.380 That's all it is.

00:29:23.100 And if anything, they ripped off Dusk Till Dawn. 1.00

00:29:25.240 It's Dusk Till Dawn with a black cast. 0.95

00:29:28.220 And, you know, there were black cast members in Dusk Till Dawn.

00:29:31.680 You didn't go like, oh, you need to have that cast member in there.

00:29:35.440 That's the way it was cast.

00:29:37.200 And, you know, making requirements for certain races and sexuality

00:29:43.320 and whatnot being in your movie like that, it's...

00:29:48.420 It can't work.

00:29:49.580 It cannot pump out a better product.

00:29:53.080 And I can't believe the unions went along with this.

00:29:55.540 SAG and IOTC, I mean, come on, man.

00:29:57.700 Oh, believe me.

00:30:00.160 SAG isn't going to go along with it.

00:30:01.940 Put it this way.

00:30:02.840 You could replace that S with another letter, and it would be completely appropriate.

00:30:08.600 Hey, listen, let me give you one more thing.

00:30:10.940 I've been listening to a lot of your O&A on the –

00:30:14.120 Ah, the O&A.

00:30:14.600 You're remembering how great it was on YouTube.

00:30:17.400 But you were very prescient back then.

00:30:20.940 Yes.

00:30:21.220 You were way ahead of the cold, man.

00:30:22.700 Yeah, that's what they tell me.

00:30:24.080 You knew what Obama was all about?

00:30:25.440 I had Obama pegged, well, not as much as Big Mike did,

00:30:30.500 but I had Obama pegged as what he was for quite some time.

00:30:37.220 I was vindicated.

00:30:39.860 Smartest guy in that room, man.

00:30:41.760 And another thing, when the World Cup was starting to come into America,

00:30:45.400 And I remember Opie said, you know, it'll never catch on here and everything else.

00:30:50.360 And you're like, have you looked at the border lately?

00:30:53.060 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, I know. I feel totally vindicated these days.

00:30:58.280 I think everything I was saying at the time when I was being called racist, sexist, homophobic, this, that, the other thing, it all came to fruition.

00:31:06.900 So, you know, vindication is a wonderful thing, but it's a bittersweet victory, Kevin.

00:31:14.200 thank you my friend thanks for the call there he is long beach went down there a couple of times

00:31:20.560 not a bad place long beach uh i wouldn't drink at a party and then drive home they're one of

00:31:31.360 those places that have their own police department long beach ah they are just looking um i never did

00:31:39.600 thank goodness uh long island has like those places where they have their own police department

00:31:46.060 and uh it is it's a double whammy you know the county police and the state police are one thing

00:31:53.260 but those local town police oh man do they want to get a an arrest they want to get a collar under

00:32:00.220 their belt for the evening long beach was like that north port long island on the north shore

00:32:05.560 was like that and northport has a hell of a lot of bars and clubs and things and one road out it was

00:32:14.080 a setup for a dewey all these bars going down main street right to the long island sound one end of

00:32:23.360 main street was the long island sound and you had to drive one way out after a friday or saturday

00:32:29.620 night of hanging out in the bars man and this was pre uh uber days pre uber days it was crazy

00:32:39.400 um all right uh i wanted i guess i could fit in uh clown of the week here maybe if we could uh

00:32:50.180 fire up i haven't done it in a while the old sounder the old song i hope this was a

00:32:57.160 underrepresented composer that came up with this song but uh yeah let's do a little clown of the

00:33:03.760 week the anthony cumia show presents the clown of the week yes and we have a returning clown of the

00:33:13.940 week it's not rosie o'donnell she's made it quite a few times it's not a hollywood celebrity and

00:33:20.700 they've uh plenty of hollywood celebrities have been dubbed clown of the week it is new york's

00:33:26.420 own senator chuck schumer that's right ac1 is the clip and chuck schumer says that get this this is

00:33:37.460 beyond all reason that requiring id in order to vote is cheating let me let me make sure you heard

00:33:50.340 that right not not having id not requiring id would make it easier for fraud and and cheating

00:33:59.280 he says that requiring voter id somehow is uh cheating uh maybe the way he says it is a little

00:34:09.220 more coherent than me i don't know let's take a listen we're not talking about immigrants we're

00:34:16.080 talking about American citizens that are going to be kicked off the rolls. Lots of them. It'll 0.54

00:34:22.660 make it far more harder. It'll make it far harder for people to register to vote. It'll take away 0.89

00:34:27.260 vote by mail. It'll eliminate online registration. All of these tried and true and safe ways to

00:34:33.460 participate in democracy, but Trump wants to take them away. We know what's going on. Donald Trump

00:34:41.000 knows that November is starting to look disastrous for him. And Republicans are seeing the same

00:34:47.840 thing. So the only shot of winning in Trump's mind is to cheat. The only shot of winning

00:34:55.300 this election for Donald Trump is to cheat. It's to undermine democracy. This is ghastly.

00:35:04.460 This is one of the worst things we've seen in America in a very long time. 0.98

00:35:07.820 it's hitler it's crazy it's nazis it's the worst thing ever how how do you come up with that 0.93

00:35:17.540 how do you twist that around so that showing id is how you cheat americans will be taken off 0.78

00:35:28.220 the voter rolls this isn't about illegal uh aliens yeah it is of course it is if you don't

00:35:35.240 have to show proof of who you are and proof that you are here legally and you are allowed to vote

00:35:43.400 as an american citizen then you can cheat because you don't have an id that proves that you're a

00:35:51.760 citizen and and who you are how the hell does this i can't even say it uh how does he come up with

00:36:03.580 having required ID to vote is cheating.

00:36:12.620 That's what they do.

00:36:13.860 This is how they lie.

00:36:17.080 They misinform the people on purpose.

00:36:20.420 It's not an accident.

00:36:22.160 It's not some kind of, oh, we screwed up.

00:36:25.320 I didn't mean that.

00:36:26.760 No, he means it because he wants to brainwash the sheep,

00:36:31.620 the easily malleable minds of the liberal

00:36:36.520 to think that somehow it's cheating.

00:36:39.600 And we've seen them at the protests

00:36:41.420 when someone comes up with a mic and goes,

00:36:43.820 so how will this prevent people from voting?

00:36:45.900 And they're like, I don't know, George. 0.81

00:36:51.080 I hear that a married woman won't be able to vote.

00:36:55.940 What? How? 1.00

00:36:58.980 How? 0.98

00:36:59.660 since that pesky damn 19th amendment they've been allowed to vote nothing's going to change that 1.00

00:37:08.840 it would literally be unconstitutional they could get ids they have ids married women have ids what 0.96

00:37:17.320 is this little house on the prairie did pa ingles tell uh uh uh his his wife ma ingles that uh she

00:37:27.280 couldn't vote oh wait she couldn't what a wonderful time back in i'm gonna make some uh 1.00

00:37:37.660 some women very angry susan's gonna call me with a half a bag on screaming at me 0.93

00:37:43.180 about the 19th amendment no it the bottom line here is it makes voting more secure

00:37:52.200 nothing that is being that would be required would prevent an american an american citizen

00:38:00.540 from voting they lie to you about it constantly this is a constant lie

00:38:08.420 that that you need a birth certificate and uh a passport do you know it was spelt out

00:38:17.640 in the bill itself the state has the burden of giving these people the documentation that they

00:38:27.780 would need if someone comes in and goes i don't know my house burnt down i lost my uh birth 0.82

00:38:34.900 certificate i'm too stupid to go online and get it because that's all it takes uh the state 0.86

00:38:42.200 then has to use its resources 0.98

00:38:45.860 to come up with a birth certificate for this person.

00:38:50.600 And they have to prove who they are.

00:38:54.080 And they could do that under sworn testimony

00:38:56.980 or somebody else that will swear that it is a person,

00:39:00.200 which would lead maybe, hopefully, to consequences

00:39:03.620 for people that are trying to commit fraud.

00:39:07.040 Doesn't that sound like something we want as Americans

00:39:09.700 in our elections?

00:39:12.200 We want to curtail fraud as much as we possibly can.

00:39:17.840 And then when fraud is committed, we want consequences to be put on the people trying to commit the fraud.

00:39:26.060 And the SAVE Act, that bill has that in it.

00:39:33.180 and Chuck Schumer has to get in front of America

00:39:38.740 and try to say how this would be cheating.

00:39:46.300 How do you do that?

00:39:47.720 The balls it takes to just get in front of the American people 0.99

00:39:53.440 and lie like that. 0.99

00:39:55.840 But he doesn't care.

00:39:57.800 He knows he's impervious to any consequence.

00:40:00.920 this guy has held the office like a pope he'll be in there till the day he dies

00:40:07.340 chuck schumer will be uh the senator from new york uh you know we could obviously get into a

00:40:15.680 segue into term limits but that's not going to happen we see how these politicians they

00:40:22.020 write themselves raises they uh exempt themselves from certain laws that they write

00:40:30.080 soon let me see yeah a little later on we'll talk about the virginia democrats who are putting in

00:40:40.440 place some of these draconian gun control laws which are definitely an infringement on virginians

00:40:48.800 second amendment rights and we'll hear how they want exceptions for their general assembly for

00:40:57.620 them they don't want to adhere to the very constitutionally infringing laws that they're

00:41:06.200 putting in place that they say yeah but we don't have to pay attention to them we could carry guns

00:41:13.460 we could have guns in our vehicles we could have guns a certain distance from the state capital and

00:41:20.380 other government buildings but you can't you can't protect yourself why would you think you

00:41:27.840 should be able to protect yourself this virginia we got a couple of things coming out of virginia

00:41:34.200 this program we'll be talking about it that are just a shining example of what could happen on

00:41:43.320 a larger scale if these monsters are put in charge these mental patient democrat liberal

00:41:51.200 democrats feminist liberal democrats are put in charge and uh it can happen people don't think 0.89

00:41:58.640 it can't we're seeing it in virginia and uh it's abominable all right we will talk about it and a

00:42:04.960 lot more coming up it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:42:11.080 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show and um

00:42:22.820 boy a lot to uh discuss a lot to uh weed out this sunday evening uh let's talk to

00:42:32.640 joaquin of course in pa what's up my friend good evening anthony you know i want to take

00:42:39.600 you back to another day a younger anthony cumia i remember this one when you're talking about the

00:42:45.180 drinking you know and long beach and stuff yeah taking your road test determining what your level

00:42:50.240 should be yes i i came up with a a grand plan that i don't think people really gravitated towards

00:42:59.440 my here's what i think we should do and it would make a lot of money for the cities and states

00:43:06.060 I can't believe I'm going to I'm going to tell this idea that I had.

00:43:12.120 You know, many people are affected differently by their alcohol intake.

00:43:17.780 Some people can drink a lot and you could barely notice any intoxication.

00:43:24.080 Other people, you know, one beer and they're gone.

00:43:27.480 And this can depend on weight and size and things.

00:43:31.100 but that isn't necessarily the be-all, end-all factor in determining if somebody is indeed intoxicated.

00:43:39.120 I suggested when they lowered the blood alcohol level to .08 in a lot of places from, what was it, .1?

00:43:52.480 .1.

00:43:53.400 .1, and then they went to .08.

00:43:55.640 so um i suggested for the cost of a lot of money that they put you through a driver's test

00:44:04.120 where you drink and then you drive through the test and it's a pretty intricate test

00:44:10.680 and then on your license you get a blood alcohol rating so that when you get pulled over in the

00:44:17.280 the offices as you've been drinking you go yeah and then you give him the license and he goes oh

00:44:21.880 you're a point one two and then you blow in the breathalyzer and you're a point uh oh eight

00:44:28.540 and then he goes okay have a have a great evening and you drive home because you've passed the

00:44:34.700 drunk test believe me i agreed with you 100 they could have given me that test in the tractor

00:44:40.820 trailer not because i never drove a tractor trailer but you know and i saw that whole thing

00:44:46.040 at the beginning of the police day because that was around the time they started coming out with

00:44:49.160 The DEWI checkpoints, I never had them before.

00:44:52.560 No, no.

00:44:53.260 All of a sudden, they bring this in.

00:44:54.380 They can stop you from traveling to check you out.

00:44:57.780 Yeah, we all got the stories of our youth back when we first started driving,

00:45:02.940 the late 70s, early 80s, where they weren't as crazy about dragging you out of your car and arresting you.

00:45:13.300 Now, look, I understand drunk driving deaths have decreased a lot since they have gotten more stringent with their policing of drunks.

00:45:25.140 I get it. I get it. Look, and at my age now, I look at drunk driving like, you know, what are you doing?

00:45:31.500 There's Ubers now. You don't have to most people's bars, local bar they go to isn't 100 miles away.

00:45:38.860 You take an Uber there, an Uber back, and, you know, you don't know if you saved a life or kept yourself from having to get a lawyer.

00:45:47.100 It's just better than driving drunk.

00:45:49.620 That's for sure.

00:45:50.980 But my take on it as a young guy was a lot different.

00:45:55.080 It was like you'd play police Pac-Man on your drive home, and once you made it and parked your car all crooked in the driveway to see the next morning, you went, whew, whew, I made it.

00:46:07.420 so times change your ideas change and uh i don't think i'm as um into the drunk driver's license

00:46:16.300 these days but in a way it still makes sense if it does but let's get to the topic of the day i

00:46:22.300 guess you know something this whole thing about hollywood i'm sorry man but you know back in the

00:46:27.120 1950s senator joe mccarthy was right oh i think edward morrow was a was a communist plant or

00:46:32.820 something like that that that took him out because you know you got that you're you're

00:46:36.500 who i talk about a lot that people can watch the interview um he explains the whole process how the

00:46:42.040 communists decided to take over this country by infiltrating things like our educational system

00:46:46.980 of course you know you train the young minds of mush right yep um you brainwash them and then you

00:46:52.460 take over the entertainment industry which also brainwashes everybody you know all the way on

00:46:56.760 through and so what you got now is you got you know you have hollywood which is basically nothing

00:47:01.260 but a communist propaganda machine and uh this was all laid out for us back in the 1950s you know 0.90

00:47:07.380 and unfortunately we didn't listen and so now that the the muslims have aligned themselves with 0.95

00:47:13.220 the communists that you know they want to take over the world and so they become bedfellows 0.97

00:47:17.800 and i'm talking about muslims i'm not talking about radical muslims either i'm talking about 0.85

00:47:21.580 islam in general yeah yeah people do not want to wake up and they don't want to smell the coffee

00:47:28.240 on this about yeah it's amazing when you think back to the 50s and the the communist uh hearings

00:47:34.380 that they uh they had joe mccarthy and for so long it was looked at like joe mccarthy

00:47:40.360 was the piece of garbage and the paranoid guy that saw a communist under every rock and now you 0.56

00:47:48.840 you look at that in hindsight and you're like oh yeah this guy was absolutely right and hollywood 0.99

00:47:55.600 has done nothing to disprove that it's full of communists contrary to the fact they have proven

00:48:03.700 more over the course of the years that they are communists and they will do anything it takes they 0.58

00:48:10.200 will back any of these illegal alien stay in this country programs in order to destroy and tear down 0.68

00:48:18.980 our american society so that the communists can uh can take over you know and schmucky schmucky 0.77

00:48:27.820 humor he's worrying about us taking american citizens off of voting rolls is you know i mean

00:48:31.960 this is another thing they're lying about and this goes back you know also to and actually think about

00:48:36.420 the census thing and how they allow a lot the seats in congress and they say oh they should 0.98

00:48:42.240 count everybody whether they're citizens or not yeah yeah i've heard that you are you nuts well 0.60

00:48:46.960 Well, this is why they've gotten more seats in these blue states now, because they count all these illegal immigrants that they're flooding in.

00:48:53.040 But I.D. is cheating, Joaquin.

00:48:55.340 Thanks for the call.

00:48:56.360 I appreciate it.

00:48:58.100 Yeah.

00:48:59.160 I mean, when I was growing up, communism was the worst thing possible. 0.96

00:49:04.600 You hated the commies, the red commies, better dead than red. 1.00

00:49:09.360 And now everyone's a damn communist. 1.00

00:49:14.340 I don't know. 1.00

00:49:15.840 I don't know.

00:49:16.660 where did we go wrong back in a moment it's the anthony cummia show on the red apple podcast

00:49:23.620 network it's the anthony cummia show on the red apple podcast network the anthony cummia show hey

00:49:34.240 thank you for tuning in and uh it's oscar night oh boy could feel it in the air can't you no

00:49:42.500 All right. A couple of funny comments on my ex account, Anthony Cumia, in the comments.

00:49:53.320 Conan, of course, Conan O'Brien hosting the Oscars and made a joke about we at least they arrest their pedophiles, referencing the English as opposed to us here in the States who don't arrest their pedophiles because Donald Trump is still walking around.

00:50:11.500 get it uh the audience went crazy applauding and laughing and meanwhile um how many of them

00:50:19.920 in that hollywood community have uh done that and then um who is this tin and tin and andy wang

00:50:30.140 wang uh i wonder how conan will feel about not calling the cops when they show rob reiner in

00:50:38.140 the in memoriam segment yeah rob reiner as we all know uh murdered by his son rob his wife and the

00:50:50.500 son were attending uh conan o'brien's party at the time what was it a christmas party i think

00:51:00.120 and he was making a big scene.

00:51:04.560 He was becoming violent and annoying the guests at this party

00:51:10.060 and no one called the cops

00:51:12.680 because, you know, that would be in bad taste.

00:51:15.840 How do you explain to Rob Reiner that you're throwing a party here

00:51:19.700 and you had to call the cops on his kid

00:51:21.220 because he's being disruptive and violent to the guests?

00:51:26.280 And, well, we all know how that evening went.

00:51:28.620 and uh that's pretty interesting take how conan feels about watching the in memoriam

00:51:35.100 billy crystal ended up doing a whole they did a whole memorial segment on him not just a picture

00:51:43.220 in the in memoriam so uh yeah i don't know uh i don't know how he felt but yeah that's a little

00:51:51.540 uncomfortable that's a little weird happy international um islamophobe day everybody

00:52:02.940 it is indeed um well at least for a few more hours uh combat islamophobia day which uh

00:52:13.640 was invented uh in 2022 by the united nations and um how how this is a thing when

00:52:24.160 bombs have been thrown at police officers in new york um during an anti-islamic protest

00:52:34.680 is beyond me but unless if you didn't know it is international um islamophobe or or you know 1.00

00:52:44.480 don't be an islamophobe day it's so stupid so um mamdani because he's islam he's a muslim 0.99

00:53:23.240 and ate some disgusting food with their hands, is what I saw. 1.00

00:53:30.340 And, you know, I just cannot, I cannot make peace with this.

00:53:39.500 I was in New York City on 9-11, and I cannot make peace with this.

00:53:48.320 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, well, I'm not sorry.

00:53:51.580 I'm not sorry.

00:53:53.240 uh if people call me uh islamophobic on this international don't be islamophobic day

00:54:00.600 but i cannot i cannot put that away i cannot forget what i saw on 9-11 0.85

00:54:09.840 uh and just go oh we have a muslim mayor now he's sitting in gracie mansion with his shoes off

00:54:19.800 sitting on the floor with a bunch of other Muslims 0.96

00:54:24.020 wrapping up their Ramadan fast. 0.98

00:54:28.540 And it's beyond me.

00:54:32.220 Here are some of the sounds.

00:54:33.680 This is about, I don't know, not even half a minute

00:54:37.960 of the sounds of Mayor Mamdani 0.99

00:54:40.760 invited people over, Muslims on the floor, barefoot, 1.00

00:54:47.720 eating disgusting food, AC2. 1.00

00:54:49.800 I can't I can't deal with that and go yeah that's fine we need diversity we

00:55:18.660 need acceptance and tolerance and this and that and that when i hear a wall look bull

00:55:24.620 coming out of uh gracie mansion like that it it's it's what they scream when things go south

00:55:38.680 it's what those uh two gentlemen yelled when they threw a bomb at new york uh police officers

00:55:48.540 NYPD officers and protesters. 0.53

00:55:53.540 It's what I'm certain Mohammed Atta was yelling while he was plowing a jet aircraft full of passengers into the World Trade Center.

00:56:04.260 It's what you hear every time an IED goes off and American soldiers are killed.

00:56:12.200 i can't put that aside when you hear well no no they're just it's god is great and they're just

00:56:20.860 saying that uh as uh it's a different context oh is it

00:56:27.440 is it how would you like to hear heil hitler as a different context well i'm not talking about

00:56:36.840 you know the the roman salute and the goose stepping and the death and destruction and

00:56:44.140 whatnot and world war ii no no it's different i mean it differently when i say it as a good thing

00:56:51.100 as a peaceful nice thing it's the same words oh i don't want to hear it i certainly don't want

00:57:02.420 to hear it in the governor's mayor's mansion of the city that was attacked by islam on 9-11 0.69

00:57:11.260 can't do it i just can't be that guy and i know a hell of a lot of people that feel the same exact 0.59

00:57:22.440 way as i do if you could you know tuck that aside and go well it's good it's good that we have a

00:57:30.260 Muslim mayor and they say 0.83

00:57:32.560 the battle cry 0.99

00:57:34.600 of Islamic extremists 1.00

00:57:36.880 before they murder a bunch 1.00

00:57:38.700 of people. It's the same words

00:57:40.820 but no, no

00:57:42.560 it's different. The ISIS 0.55

00:57:44.800 salute, you had a guy sitting 1.00

00:57:46.700 there with him, breaking the Ramadan

00:57:48.780 fast and he's

00:57:50.660 holding up the one finger 0.95

00:57:52.020 which is the ISIS 0.71

00:57:54.760 salute 0.94

00:57:56.540 Islamic 1.00

00:57:58.540 fundamentalists, radicals, murderers. 1.00

00:58:04.220 That's the salute. 0.99

00:58:05.480 Oh, but it's okay.

00:58:06.920 Because he's with Mom Danny.

00:58:09.280 They're hanging out.

00:58:10.280 They're just eating.

00:58:11.100 Don't worry about it.

00:58:12.320 Don't worry if you hear the battle cry 1.00

00:58:14.000 of Islamic terrorists 1.00

00:58:16.020 and the salute of Islamic terrorists. 1.00

00:58:20.600 It's fine. 1.00

00:58:22.680 Yeah.

00:58:23.800 Yeah.

00:58:26.860 Am I alone here?

00:58:28.540 Am I alone? Am I a babe in the woods?

00:58:31.800 Am I too invested with my age and experience 1.00

00:58:37.520 and seeing what Islam has done 0.94

00:58:40.920 and Islamic extremist terrorists have done

00:58:44.860 over the course of a century, maybe even longer now?

00:58:50.180 But indeed, in the decades that I've been alive,

00:58:53.500 I've seen enough to where I don't think 1.00

00:58:56.720 people should be yelling out the battle cry of isis and other uh muslim terrorists 1.00

00:59:04.960 in the mayor's mansion i don't care if he's a muslim and he wants to celebrate 1.00

00:59:11.200 celebrate his little traditions which by the way i still think is a jab at westerners who aren't

00:59:20.460 muslim yeah let's do this right here let's just put prayer rugs down on the floor

00:59:26.660 and we'll take our shoes off and we'll hear a law book and we'll we'll uh video it and put it out 0.92

00:59:37.320 there for everyone to see they know they know it's it's it brings down morale for uh american

00:59:47.420 Americans that aren't Muslims.

00:59:51.880 It's New York City.

00:59:55.020 I vividly remember 25 years ago.

01:00:00.620 I cannot believe it.

01:00:02.400 How in the hell? 1.00

01:00:04.840 25 years and here we are with a Muslim mayor 1.00

01:00:09.940 and his guests giving terrorist salutes 0.96

01:00:15.160 and speaking the battle cry that they yell out before people are murdered.

01:00:23.900 But I'm intolerant. 0.79

01:00:26.120 I am Islamophobic.

01:00:27.940 I'm racist for even saying what I'm saying right now.

01:00:33.060 Meanwhile, an unbelievable number of Americans feel exactly the same way as I do.

01:00:42.480 They're saying it.

01:00:43.640 I'm just privileged to be able to say it to a bunch of people on the airwaves

01:00:51.540 because not enough people have the ability to do that.

01:00:57.080 They will be fired.

01:00:58.240 They will lose everything, their jobs, their family, their credibility.

01:01:02.360 They won't be able to monetize themselves, whatever it is.

01:01:06.920 Getting that scarlet letter R for racist put on you is not an easy way to go through life.

01:01:17.800 So they don't speak out, speak up.

01:01:20.840 And I feel privileged to be able to do that for a lot of the people, the voiceless out there that feel the exact same way.

01:01:27.800 Back in a moment. Don't go anywhere.

01:01:30.400 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:01:36.520 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:01:43.340 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:01:46.620 And let's hit up Mike over here in Manhattan.

01:01:50.820 Mike, what's up?

01:01:53.080 Hello, I'm a first-time caller, and I feel privileged to share my insight with you.

01:02:01.060 Islamophobia is a screen, a deflection.

01:02:03.960 I use the term Islamo-awareness. 0.58

01:02:07.360 There you go. 1.00

01:02:08.180 That's what I want to propagate because you can't deny it's the most murderous religion, 0.99

01:02:14.180 and they kill all the time, and they scream their God and everything else. 0.99

01:02:18.940 But I lost four people in 9-11 because I'm a retired cop, but I also happen to be a clown, 0.86

01:02:25.940 and I would like you to come up with an alternative to clown of the night.

01:02:30.920 How about Joker?

01:02:32.360 Is that okay with you? 0.98

01:02:33.960 You know, clown has been tossed around over the course of history as being, you know, that guy's a clown. 0.97

01:02:39.360 I know it's an insult. 0.95

01:02:40.520 Believe me, if it wasn't FCC-regulated airwaves, it would be a lot worse than clown. 0.77

01:02:47.060 Believe that.

01:02:48.940 By the way, before you hang up on me, Dr. Reinald Amman created Maledict of the International Society of Verbal Aggression.

01:02:58.560 and I had a laugh with him because he had an insult calendar

01:03:02.460 and his insult for December 27th was clown.

01:03:05.940 So, you know, it's an insult that has a couple of meanings. 0.88

01:03:10.340 Yep.

01:03:10.680 And anyway, you should have that insult calendar.

01:03:13.320 When I was the cop in Washington Square Park, I'd ask the kid,

01:03:16.200 hey, what's your birthday?

01:03:17.040 Why do you want to know?

01:03:17.700 Well, I have an insult calendar here. 1.00

01:03:19.140 And I said, according to this, you're an imbecile. 1.00

01:03:21.380 Then I let him and his friends insult each other. 1.00

01:03:23.720 I never got in trouble.

01:03:25.240 That's amazing.

01:03:26.040 These days, you know, you'd be thrown off the force, and they'd sue you for abuse or something.

01:03:32.460 So the good old days.

01:03:34.940 Can I share another word, which I know you love?

01:03:38.000 Shrivelization.

01:03:39.200 Oh, that's a good one.

01:03:40.700 Right, right.

01:03:41.900 Shrivelization, what we're going through right now.

01:03:45.060 Yes, and also, the mayor became a mayor in the year of the rat, the year of the snake, the Chinese year of the snake. 1.00

01:03:54.120 He's been called a snake oil salesman, and I said, and I continue to say, he's full of shit. 1.00

01:04:00.780 Oh, watch the language there. 1.00

01:04:02.860 I had to cut Mike off there for a bit, dropping the dreaded S-word.

01:04:07.660 If somebody hears the S-word coming out of a radio, my God, the entire planet.

01:04:15.500 It would be like going through a black hole or hitting antimatter.

01:04:20.240 It just, everything explodes.

01:04:21.980 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:24.120 yeah scroll on your phone for three seconds you will hear and see a lot worse than the s word

01:04:31.960 i don't know i think the fcc has to revamp their rules and regs as far as what's offensive to the

01:04:41.020 society or the community at at hand but uh it's quaint i find it charming in a way especially

01:04:50.240 having done and doing a satellite radio show or an internet show where you know anything goes

01:04:56.960 it's quaint it's like when you went over grandma's house and you're like no no

01:05:01.520 don't say those words and then you go hang out with your friends and your potty mouth

01:05:07.880 but uh thank you thank you mike with your potty mouth speaking of mem danny not just the fact 0.92

01:05:14.760 that he is a muslim and i can't uh figure that whole thing out with new york and 9-11 uh he's 0.79

01:05:20.980 also a terrible terrible mayor terrible uh he he wants to win back the wealthy new yorkers who 0.92

01:05:33.380 skip town a lot of them are leaving and we see this happening in every one of these blue cities

01:05:41.120 that are run by liberal Democrats or communists or whatever.

01:05:47.100 They're not good.

01:05:49.160 And a lot of people are fleeing these places for greener pastures,

01:05:54.480 lower taxes, more of their rights not being trampled upon.

01:06:01.220 And Mamdani, he says that he's going to win back wealthy New Yorkers.

01:06:10.340 Now, how would a mayor win back those wealthy New Yorkers that might have might have left AC six and we will hear Mayor Mamdani how in the hell he's going to get these wealthy businesses back to New York.

01:06:30.820 Amidst being in the wealthiest city and the wealthiest country in the history of the world,

01:06:34.960 we already see an exodus of working and middle-class New Yorkers.

01:06:38.620 So I don't have a hesitation in asking those who make the most amount of money in this city

01:06:42.920 or the most profits in this city to pay a little bit more so that everyone can actually stay in this city. 0.79

01:06:47.900 It's also something not just about justice or the ability for working-class people to live here.

01:06:53.620 It is also actually about ensuring that corporations can continue to attract the top talent to this city.

01:06:59.820 Because in a city where child care costs more than $20,000 a year, I've heard from corporate leaders about how difficult it is for them to attract individuals who would work at their companies but want to raise a family.

01:07:09.840 Because you could be making $300,000 a year and you will feel that $20,000 a year because of the fact that we have allowed for the absence of affordable child care to become reality here in this city.

01:07:21.780 Oh, so more taxes.

01:07:24.600 Just more taxes.

01:07:25.640 And if you make $300,000 a year, you're going to feel that $20,000 for child care.

01:07:29.820 well maybe you get a babysitter maybe you do something else that's cheaper but uh you're

01:07:36.580 not going to feel that 20 000 coming out in taxes and don't think it it won't because it's not just

01:07:44.460 the property taxes and um city taxes and state taxes they tax you without using that pesky word

01:07:54.000 tax congestion pricing is a great example of that oh that's so uh people don't drive in

01:08:03.760 so they take public transportation everyone wins the city wins because the people driving

01:08:10.980 and have to pay nine dollars anytime they drive into midtown um the city also wins because people

01:08:17.960 that can't afford to drive in will take public transportation.

01:08:22.420 So everyone wins, right?

01:08:25.280 Oh, wait a minute.

01:08:26.620 Except for the citizens that can't afford to drive their car in

01:08:30.920 that have to take public transportation 0.73

01:08:32.400 and are being pushed in front of trains by lunatics.

01:08:37.620 How about that?

01:08:39.800 Doesn't seem like a win there, does it?

01:08:42.820 That's not quite a win.

01:08:44.460 they've they've taxed the hell out of you without using the word tax so you're paying a lot more 0.98

01:08:55.700 than that and then what does he want to do he wants to use your tax money for these crap programs 0.95

01:09:02.420 that don't help anyone but his group of marginalized people, as he calls it. 0.96

01:09:13.680 You know, we've got to give out the welfare and the free child care 0.93

01:09:17.740 and food and clothing to illegal aliens and hotel rooms. 0.93

01:09:22.160 It's over a billion dollars they've agreed upon.

01:09:26.660 This guy is in a $5 billion, over $5 billion shortfall in the New York City budget.

01:09:35.600 And instead of cutting things, he's adding like $8 billion for the illegal homeless in the city.

01:09:48.620 He won't cut anything.

01:09:51.340 He'll cut things that we need.

01:09:52.860 nypd has already cut uh some of the um projections on recruiting so you'll have less cops

01:10:02.240 but uh perish the thought you don't give free stuff to the people and i'm still waiting on

01:10:09.180 the free fast buses that had to be his number one gimmick over the whole thing you know rent

01:10:18.400 freezes was another one but that's not he's not going to do anything with that rent won't get

01:10:23.760 cheaper it just won't he had all kinds of harebrained schemes about how he was going to do that

01:10:29.340 and again it was taxing the rich and if somebody uh a wealthy new yorker wants to sell their

01:10:38.440 property in new york city uh new york city has the first right to bid on that and get it accepted

01:10:48.300 and then they run the person that wants to sell the property

01:10:53.080 through a gauntlet that could take a year to sell the property

01:10:57.900 while they're still paying taxes,

01:10:59.940 just so eventually they bow down and go,

01:11:03.320 all right, take it, New York City.

01:11:05.120 Take it off my hands. 0.89

01:11:06.780 And then they could make it low-cost housing 1.00

01:11:09.780 and illegal immigrant housing. 1.00

01:11:14.320 That's the scheme, and it's never coming to fruition. 0.99

01:11:17.180 Thank God even New York has checks and balances in place to keep this guy from doing stuff.

01:11:24.300 When we come back, I will talk about the death tax that Mamdani's proposing.

01:11:32.400 It is some of the craziest stuff.

01:11:36.680 You think when you drop dead after a life of working and providing for your family

01:11:44.880 and raising a family, that you'd be able to keep it?

01:11:47.900 Nope.

01:11:48.920 Not as far as Zoran Mamdani is concerned.

01:11:51.880 Back in a minute.

01:11:53.420 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:59.520 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:12:06.020 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:12:08.840 And I'm just scrolling through X over here.

01:12:12.940 Oscar presenter Kumail Nanjiani sparked fury on the Sunday Oscar broadcast

01:12:22.520 with a tasteless joke about Schindler's List

01:12:25.480 before presenting a tie win for best live action short film.

01:12:32.400 Who gives a...

01:12:33.620 Yeah, who gives a...

01:12:35.460 To the dismay of the audience, Nanjiani swapped Schindler's List

01:12:41.040 for Schindler's Post-it

01:12:43.420 before awarding the singers

01:12:45.760 and two people exchanging saliva 0.99

01:12:48.260 their statuettes.

01:12:53.420 I want to know the context.

01:12:55.840 I understand Schindler's List

01:12:57.940 with Schindler's Post-it.

01:12:59.900 It seems like it would be a shorter list.

01:13:02.320 Not as important.

01:13:04.480 But, of course, a little outrage.

01:13:07.060 A little outrage.

01:13:09.300 Controversy.

01:13:11.040 Yeah. And Jimmy Kimmel takes a dig at CBS at the Oscars, saying, as you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech.

01:13:22.100 Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS.

01:13:27.620 God, that Kimmel always on, always hilarious.

01:13:31.720 my god what are we doing what are we doing as a blah blah blah blah blah

01:13:42.480 yes blah blah blah indeed so um the memdani uh death tax let me get this out because this is

01:13:55.180 just insane how is this a thing how is this even possible that someone can propose this

01:14:05.380 so this is his tax revenue proposal uh zoran mamdani and he's got a few things on here

01:14:13.760 new york city personal income tax two percent increase in uh new york city rate for file is

01:14:21.320 earning one million or more the fair share act every single time we hear how it's paying your

01:14:30.060 fair share how could it be fair if you keep increasing it and calling it a fair share we've

01:14:38.240 been hearing that for years well they got to pay their fair share so we're increasing this

01:14:42.440 all right now it's fair i guess yeah it's fair well nope not anymore what you just signed a

01:14:50.280 a minute ago it was fair yeah but now it's so unfair you won't even believe it so we have to

01:14:57.660 get it uh again we have to raise the taxes uh new york city corporation increases a new york

01:15:04.160 corporate tax financial sectors firms from nine percent to ten uh point eight percent for non

01:15:12.000 finance sectors from 8.85 to 10.62 percent math you know how that is uh unincorporated business

01:15:20.860 taxes increases four percent to 4.4 personal income tax reduce new york city path the pass

01:15:29.300 through entity tax i don't even know what that is pass through entity tax 75 other revenue proposals

01:15:39.100 A property tax surcharge on values of homes, 1% surcharge.

01:15:46.260 I guess that's going to raise $725 million, a surcharge on your property tax,

01:15:52.840 which is just more property tax.

01:15:55.180 No, we're not.

01:15:55.760 Here's what they say.

01:15:57.540 We're not raising your property tax. 0.99

01:15:59.520 Don't be silly. 0.96

01:16:01.060 We're just putting a 1% surcharge on your property tax. 0.97

01:16:05.640 i guess because uh they don't want to make it look like they're raising your taxes especially

01:16:11.580 working people that own property so they go we're not raising your tax we're putting a surcharge on

01:16:16.800 it you see that all the time uh tickets they love doing that for parking tickets and whatnot

01:16:22.120 like oh it's a 50 parking ticket oh here's a 25 surcharge easy pass is the worst with surcharges

01:16:31.060 and penalties if you miss a $15 toll they will charge you $35 for missing it above and beyond

01:16:43.340 the toll added to the $15 and then some type of late fee that could get up into the hundreds of

01:16:52.400 in no time so again these are all taxes you're being taxed um mansion tax city mansion tax on

01:17:03.640 properties valued over five million that sounds a lot like a lot a lot of new yorkers and people

01:17:08.800 around this country don't look at five million like a mere bag of shells do they but if you're

01:17:15.560 in new york new york city and you have a a bit of real estate and a a bit of uh what they consider

01:17:25.680 a mansion because of the price five million in property isn't a lot in new york city they will

01:17:33.740 tax you on that they plan on raising 321 million taxing that and again is this fair share because

01:17:41.340 the people that own a mansion over $5 million, is that their fair share while they're also

01:17:51.320 getting their taxes increased by 2% for earning $1 million, while their corporations are going

01:17:58.160 from 9% to 10.8%?

01:18:00.540 So they're just hammering the wealthy with taxes.

01:18:05.540 That's not fair share.

01:18:08.740 And they wonder why they leave.

01:18:10.520 and they're wondering why people are leaving um i don't even know what that is again the pass

01:18:18.040 through another pass through tax closed the federal tax gap by adding a state level surcharge

01:18:25.020 on capital gains uh income over 500 000 a year so you you make money you invest your money

01:18:35.400 there's already capital gains taxes already and uh as for this they're not even going to increase

01:18:43.820 that they're just going to put a surcharge on it and they plan on raising 12 billion dollars

01:18:50.860 by doing this taxing you're already taxed money this bastard and then here's um here's the biggie 0.91

01:19:01.640 here's the one increase estate tax that's your death tax when you die everything you own 1.00

01:19:11.560 is converted to a dollar amount and they want a piece of that they want a piece of your dead ass 0.86

01:19:20.300 increase estate tax by lowering the exemption to 750 000 from its current value you want to

01:19:31.520 Guess what that is the current value before they can take this percentage of money before they could take an estate tax from you.

01:19:40.860 It was or if the proposal goes through.

01:19:46.020 Seven point one million dollars.

01:19:50.480 Seven point one million dollars.

01:19:53.700 It used to be now he wants to lower it to seven hundred and fifty thousand.

01:19:58.320 If you've lived your life and worked and built up equity, a house, property, money, money in the bank, and you had under $7.1 million, they wouldn't tax you.

01:20:18.520 They wouldn't take money out, or at least that much, out of an estate tax.

01:20:22.980 now if you make $750,000

01:20:25.880 they want to take

01:20:28.480 a piece of that 0.99

01:20:29.800 and the top rate

01:20:31.520 the top rate

01:20:33.300 is going from 16%

01:20:36.120 that would be as much as they could take

01:20:38.440 you make

01:20:39.460 $15 million

01:20:41.520 or you have $15 million

01:20:43.880 upon your demise

01:20:46.220 and

01:20:48.520 they would take 16%

01:20:52.440 they want that increase he wants that increase to 50 percent half half your life half of what

01:21:03.060 you've owned half of what you want to give your kids your family what you worked for sweat for

01:21:10.380 if you may if you own 750 000 not cash not in the bank people i'm not talking

01:21:21.060 uh your your savings account your retirement everything you own take everything you own

01:21:30.200 and convert it to dollars your house your cars everything if it comes out to 750 000

01:21:39.660 They want half of it.

01:21:46.380 That's your mayor.

01:21:49.200 Now, thank God he cannot unilaterally do this.

01:21:55.900 When I read that, the first thing I did was I ran.

01:22:00.120 I ran to my phone, which was in my pocket.

01:22:03.440 and um i asked the mighty mighty telephone uh the mighty uh grok google

01:22:12.660 ai i said can he do this without anyone else saying anything can he just

01:22:20.560 take half of everyone's life and um they told me no ai told me no

01:22:29.480 um mayor memdani cannot unilaterally raise the estate tax in new york by himself

01:22:36.880 estate taxes are governed um at the new york state level not by the city any increase would

01:22:45.500 requires legislative action by the new york state senate and assembly and approval from

01:22:53.340 governor hochel or any governor that would be in office at that time so just like his free buses

01:23:00.440 just like his tax the rich and everything else that even hochel has said she won't do

01:23:08.080 the state senate and assembly has to approve something like this and then it has to go to

01:23:14.240 hochel this is just something again that won't get done it won't come to fruition uh thank god

01:23:23.080 But not for the lack of this SOB wanting to do it.

01:23:30.800 This is plain old-fashioned communism.

01:23:35.560 This is the way he thinks and operates.

01:23:39.740 His idea of the wealthy isn't wealthy.

01:23:45.200 It's working-class people.

01:23:47.640 it may be wealth wealthy in muskogee it may be wealthy in east idabama but in new york city

01:23:59.420 if you die and your estate has 750 000 dollars of property and money and materials that isn't

01:24:09.560 astoundingly wealthy that's someone who lived their lives lived their life um and built up

01:24:21.680 some equity in their life and i assume if they have family want to leave that to their kids

01:24:30.300 so their kids can build off of that and be successful the american dream right there

01:24:37.340 to acquire enough wealth, family wealth,

01:24:42.100 that your kids could have it a little easier than you did.

01:24:45.840 They have a house, a base of operations.

01:24:50.040 They have some money to start a business, 0.98

01:24:54.800 to have that taxed up the yim-yam.

01:25:00.000 And this guy wants half.

01:25:03.000 who married this guy and marry this guy why is he getting half but that's what he wants 1.00

01:25:11.700 and these dummies that voted for this guy 0.97

01:25:15.140 they think he's doing a great job they're all for this all for this nonsense 0.98

01:25:22.660 hokul your governor hokul she's whining she's whining about um about uh new york uh businesses

01:25:35.360 leaving and uh she takes no responsibility for that she takes zero responsibility this is ac5 0.60

01:25:44.500 would be the sound clip and let's hear her talk about uh businesses leaving uh because of you

01:25:51.700 know i don't know maybe it's taxes maybe it's the high cost of living in new york but i don't think 0.84

01:25:59.380 she's going to turn around and want to sign bills that have even more taxes for the wealthy at least

01:26:05.680 not before election time because hochel's known hochel is known for signing bills at midnight 0.99

01:26:13.600 after the election that she knows the the new york public will not like she's done this before

01:26:22.120 so let's hear what she says about businesses leaving new york i know new yorkers are exasperated

01:26:30.920 they feel that you don't it's everything's stacked against them they're not getting ahead

01:26:35.840 their rents are too damn high their child care costs are high their utility bills and thank you

01:26:40.880 to Washington. We're going to have higher prices at the pump. We already do. Everything just seems

01:26:45.900 so hard for people. So I understand that frustration. You should join me in the North

01:26:49.980 country yesterday in Ogdensburg and Watertown. And people are so upset about the tariffs

01:26:55.220 raising the cost of everything. So there is this anxiety, which is real. And we're continuing to

01:27:01.280 address the affordability crisis, which I believe should be the number one priority of this

01:27:05.280 legislative session. What can we do to take off some of that pain that New Yorkers are feeling

01:27:10.040 that I hear about literally every day.

01:27:12.360 What I want to make sure we are smart about is having a system in place

01:27:17.820 where it's not just taxing for the sake of taxing

01:27:21.220 and being conscious of the fact that I need people who are high net worth

01:27:27.080 to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state.

01:27:31.100 Generous social programs.

01:27:32.560 Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up.

01:27:36.900 Okay, cut me the checks.

01:27:38.760 I mean, just if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach

01:27:44.000 and see who you can bring back home because our tax base has been eroded.

01:27:48.340 So I philosophically don't have a problem.

01:27:50.740 It is like I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states

01:27:54.120 who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals.

01:27:59.840 And I would say remote work changed everything.

01:28:02.380 There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York State.

01:28:06.220 And they were captives to our state.

01:28:08.020 They were going to stay.

01:28:08.760 we've saw that that's not the case.

01:28:11.020 I mean, you know, Wall Street businesses looking at Texas,

01:28:15.340 they're not going there because they have a nicer governor.

01:28:17.680 I know that for sure.

01:28:18.760 But they're going there because of the tax rate.

01:28:21.020 We have to be smart about this.

01:28:22.740 But we can fund what we want to fund with what we already are taking in.

01:28:28.740 That doesn't sound like somebody that wants to raise taxes. 1.00

01:28:32.500 Now, again, if she's elected again, yeah, she'll do that in a second.

01:28:37.720 but um boy have you ever heard somebody not take any responsibility for businesses fleeing new york

01:28:47.440 state it's every other thing except for her policies mem danny you know even adams when he

01:28:56.460 was in uh why is it so expensive oh the tariffs really somehow the tariffs are only affecting

01:29:07.040 new york and not florida when people move down to florida businesses move to florida wealthy

01:29:14.420 people move down there it has nothing to do with the taxes in new york the high cost of living

01:29:19.920 it's the tariffs what and oh the price at the pumps that have gone up because of the iran

01:29:28.640 Iran war, battle, police action, whatever you want to call it.

01:29:36.420 Gas is still cheaper than it was under Biden.

01:29:41.260 Still cheaper than it was under Biden.

01:29:45.480 Unless you live in California.

01:29:47.460 Because the state tax on gasoline is insane.

01:29:50.320 They're paying close to $8 a gallon in California.

01:29:54.140 And again, businesses are leaving California.

01:29:57.000 they're bugging out of there i every day i read about another business that's relocating to texas

01:30:05.460 or florida or anywhere but california

01:30:10.220 and and gavin newsom's parading around on this i want to be president tour uh he just visited

01:30:19.600 texas and it's like look at the applause that gavin newsom's getting from texans who would

01:30:25.540 have thought yeah they're applauding because he's chasing businesses out of california to relocate

01:30:32.060 in texas i'd be applauding the guy too jeez he's he's terrible that's their boy though that's their

01:30:42.700 guy it's their presidential candidate so yeah hoka whining about everything else affecting

01:30:48.460 business and wealthy leaving new york accept our own policies nine dollars nine dollars above and

01:30:56.320 beyond the tolls and gas and everything else to drive into uh new york city yeah and you you're

01:31:04.240 blaming it on the tariffs back in a moment it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast

01:31:12.780 network it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:31:20.180 the anthony cumia show yes it is and um just scrolling around um

01:31:29.860 x if you want to add to the show and you can't get through on the phones anthony cumia on x and

01:31:37.020 And I'll read that during the breaks.

01:31:39.140 And if there's anything good there, I'll say your X handle and your comment.

01:31:45.180 How about that?

01:31:46.920 How about that?

01:31:49.160 How come Bad Bunny isn't hosting the Oscars in Spanish?

01:31:53.620 Thank you, Charlie Churchill.

01:31:56.460 And yeah, the Oscars are still going on.

01:32:02.880 I don't know the count yet.

01:32:04.200 I'm so who I'm just I have goosebumps thinking about it or douche chills.

01:32:11.540 What was it? One or the other. CNN, CNN.

01:32:19.160 No one is watching CNN. MSNBC turned into MSNOW and it is just even even lower rated than CNN.

01:32:29.340 I don't think anyone's really watching any cable news anymore.

01:32:34.200 network news i don't even know why they still have it but cable news you know even fox news

01:32:40.840 while they are blowing away cnn and msnow they're just they're not like they used to be

01:32:49.520 and when people go why don't you just watch your fox news i laugh at that it's like why

01:32:55.480 what year are you talking about 2015 was probably the the end of fox news as i knew it

01:33:04.180 Certainly 2020. When when they called Arizona for Biden before the votes were even counted, that was a big slap in the face to Trump supporters.

01:33:20.440 And ever since then, it's just been downhill. I like Gutfeld. He's really funny.

01:33:26.000 there's a couple of other ones Kennedy I like Kennedy but for the most part everyone over there

01:33:34.280 can go screw but CNN I mean you're talking the epitome of left-wing propaganda that's all they

01:33:43.460 do Abby Phillips Abby Phillips she's one of the people over there I don't expect you to know her

01:33:50.880 name or the name of anyone else over there she uh was reporting on the bombing the new york city

01:33:58.280 bombing in front of gracie mansion there were a bunch of protesters protesting the islamic takeover

01:34:05.120 of new york city and a couple of islamic terrorists through uh improvised explosive devices these were 0.90

01:34:14.680 nail bombs built to cause as much damage as possible as far as injuring and killing people.

01:34:23.540 So Abby Phillips, like a good CNN soldier, went on and actually said that the bombing was aimed

01:34:33.440 at Mamdani because it was perpetrated in front of Gracie Mansion. They twisted it and tried to

01:34:41.920 spin it into to make people believe by adding false information and withholding true information

01:34:51.600 they tried to make it seem like the anti-islamic protesters threw a bomb trying to harm 1.00

01:34:59.480 uh islamic mayor mamdani so uh this is ac3 and let's listen to abby lie to the morons that are 1.00

01:35:12.740 left viewing cnn two republicans say muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack 0.97

01:35:19.500 against new york's mayor mayor zohan mamdani and the house speaker mike johnson says nothing really

01:35:26.000 to condemn those comments another special guest is going to be with us at the table when we come

01:35:30.140 did she say islamic terrorists did she say they were throwing the bombs at nypd and at

01:35:39.660 anti-islamic protesters no no she said that zora memdani mayor memdani was the target

01:35:49.700 of this attack you could not be further from the truth and it was done on purpose

01:35:57.520 this is how they operate so she went on the next day um ac4 and didn't apologize

01:36:07.020 for her misleading lies she aired a correction and listen how this is worded not like

01:36:16.960 i lied to you which would be honest at least um listen to this uh ac4 this morning i issued a

01:36:25.780 correction first thing in the morning on x for a mistake that i made in last night's show but i

01:36:31.640 also wanted to do so on air as well i incorrectly said that the bombs that were thrown by isis

01:36:36.840 inspired suspects in new york over the weekend were directed at mayor mamdani they were not

01:36:41.860 I failed to catch and correct that mistake in real time, and I take full responsibility for that.

01:36:47.440 And while we do make mistakes, it is important to acknowledge and correct those errors when they happen.

01:36:53.000 She never mentioned the Islamic terrorist in her first report.

01:36:56.760 She mentions it in this correction.

01:36:59.880 And also, mistake, I caught it and corrected it.

01:37:03.640 I wasn't able to catch it in time.

01:37:05.920 It's on your prompter. 0.62

01:37:08.020 It's written there for you to say, puppet.

01:37:10.540 and that's why you said it you lied to the people and tried to get away with it when you got caught

01:37:17.560 you had to get on and issue a correction no that should have been an apology hey we try to get

01:37:25.660 through uh some shenanigans here and uh whoopsie that's how it works they lie they lie to you

01:37:35.960 and then when they get caught they come up with these cockamamie corrections oh i didn't know

01:37:43.100 oh hey we all make mistakes what are you going to do about it and then i take full responsibility

01:39:07.540 i i hope that sticks around for a while uh the columbus day thing you know over the course of

01:39:15.900 the years old chris columbus been taking a big beating big beating and uh it's just i don't know

01:39:24.480 Everyone loves St. Paddy's Day.

01:39:25.920 It's a fun holiday.

01:39:27.800 Columbus Day isn't a fun holiday.

01:39:29.680 It's a day off. 1.00

01:39:30.520 It's like President's Day for Italians.

01:39:33.220 But St. Paddy's Day has always been so fun.

01:39:36.620 Go out.

01:39:38.200 New York especially.

01:39:39.460 Oh, I remember playing Vomit Hopscotch.

01:39:42.660 We're going from bar to bar trying to avoid where the lightweights,

01:39:46.940 the rookies, have left their mark.

01:39:50.780 A few too many Guinnesses, car bombs, whatever it is.

01:39:53.900 Um, yeah, I want that to continue, but, uh, you know, some would have it, uh, um, disassembled,

01:40:04.280 done away with, put away.

01:40:07.180 We don't like this. 1.00

01:40:09.100 It's too, uh, European. 1.00

01:40:11.700 It's too Irish. 1.00

01:40:13.000 It's too white. 1.00

01:40:14.100 It's too this and that.

01:40:16.600 So, uh, Tuesday, it's always tough.

01:40:21.680 it's always tough those uh weekdays especially a tuesday you get monday out of the way you go to

01:40:28.560 work monday always sucks and then tuesday you're like it's saint patty's day a wednesday hangover

01:40:36.500 is just abysmal and saint patty's day is a daytime thing it's not really a nighttime

01:40:45.100 uh holiday and there's so much drinking involved that by 7 p.m you are snotted you are just done

01:40:56.280 i think you start feeling a hangover around 10 p.m and hopefully you know you you drop a couple

01:41:04.380 of excedrin and pass out uh and wake up uh feeling a little better but it's such a weird

01:41:11.260 drinking holiday because you know new year's eve obviously it's nighttime

01:41:16.140 if you're if you're drinking at noon on new year's eve you got some issues

01:41:22.380 but drinking at noon on saint patty's days that's a late start that's a late start

01:41:28.720 back in the uh old uh radio days the opie and anthony days uh they used to send us on remotes

01:41:36.780 up in boston when we were with aaf and in new york with wnew they'd send us to a bar

01:41:45.740 and it would just be hey you know do a live appearance you you do uh station breaks you

01:41:52.320 know hey we're here at hogs and heifers and um old school old school radio and uh

01:41:59.820 the the the amount of people that would be there and we started our show at 3 p.m.

01:42:07.500 and they were already hammered at 3 p.m.

01:42:11.500 So St. Paddy's Day, it's a weird drinking holiday.

01:42:16.960 It's primarily a drinking holiday, but it's one of the more strange ones for for how early you start.

01:42:24.420 Yeah. And I hope the parade, you know.

01:42:26.700 uh i hear sid's going to be at the parade uh and then danny's going to be in the parade

01:42:35.620 what a what an abomination that is i mean for god's sake a guy that wants to tear down 0.62

01:42:44.440 western culture and traditions and he's the one that's going to be marching and the nypd is a

01:42:51.640 huge part the emerald society a huge part of uh saint patty's day they have their bagpipes uh and

01:42:59.480 drums uh every time in new york it was so cool to be in a bar and then you'd hear kind of a little

01:43:06.540 commotion and uh there they were you know drums and uh fifes and bagpipes and uh very loud in the

01:43:17.540 bar but you didn't care you've been drinking since 9 a.m who would care but uh that's always cool

01:43:25.280 i if they're okay next time i get asked what i miss about being in new york city proper

01:43:34.020 uh i always say like my family i miss being up and seeing my family and friends on a regular

01:43:39.900 basis but st patty's day too i always had fun on st patty's day in new york city it's crazy

01:43:46.980 but a lot of fun

01:43:49.340 anywho

01:43:51.120 oh the state of

01:43:55.520 Virginia

01:43:56.080 the state of Virginia the state and the state

01:43:59.600 of Virginia the

01:44:00.740 condition Virginia is

01:44:03.420 in under

01:44:04.700 some of the most

01:44:06.600 liberal Democrat 0.83

01:44:09.320 nonsense that 0.76

01:44:11.400 is going on

01:44:12.320 in old Virginia

01:44:14.540 it's a shame

01:44:16.640 it is really a shame because they are stomping on your rights there's a gun uh anti-second

01:44:30.500 amendment bill i'm not calling it gun control it's not gun control is hitting your target

01:44:36.360 it's it's uh an anti-second amendment bill they they want you to think it's an assault weapons

01:44:45.680 ban and this and that the criteria is ridiculous any weapon with a threaded barrel oh no you might

01:44:54.780 put a silencer on that even if it's a bolt action is uh prohibited oh they want to turn

01:45:02.520 legal law-abiding gun owners into gun criminals they want to make it so that if you get arrested

01:45:10.520 on one of these ridiculous right-infringing laws

01:45:17.120 that they're putting in place

01:45:18.200 that you never are able to own a gun again.

01:45:21.800 Oh, that guy was arrested for a gun crime.

01:45:25.460 That's it.

01:45:27.040 Oh, he's convicted.

01:45:28.460 Oh, he pled out and got this.

01:45:30.440 They're still not giving you your guns back.

01:45:33.240 That is their real goal.

01:45:35.500 Oh, no one's coming for your guns.

01:45:38.280 Yeah, they are.

01:45:39.320 they are at least as far as right now goes they're not knocking on your door or battering

01:45:49.380 ramming it down and taking your guns i can't say that won't happen years ago i would have been able

01:45:58.400 to definitively say i couldn't even imagine that happening not so much these days not so much

01:46:05.120 but what they are doing is enacting laws that they know people really can adhere to

01:46:15.340 uh these these anti-second amendment laws that they put in place

01:46:20.360 are pretty much on you can't comply to them oh uh i own 30 round magazines

01:46:29.580 and i'm not supposed to give them to anyone or transport them or use them the laws are so vague

01:46:37.720 and so um convoluted and that you don't even know what if you're abiding by the laws or not

01:46:45.560 but they just want you to accidentally break the law not know it and ignorance of the law

01:46:54.440 is not an excuse and then they can say well you're a gun criminal you can't own guns anymore

01:47:01.640 and they've taken your guns it's a workaround they're not going to get as many people as they

01:47:08.480 would for banging a door down and trying to take your guns but then again they won't get shot trying

01:47:13.780 because there are plenty americans that wouldn't be hip to uh having their door busted down and

01:47:20.140 their second amendment right taken from them um so virginia has decided they are going to

01:47:29.100 enact a a assault weapons ban and a bunch of other weapon related bans and laws and and whatnot

01:47:39.560 So one of these things is an amendment to keep you from possessing a weapon, carrying a firearm or explosive material within Capitol Square and the surrounding area into a building owned or leased by the Commonwealth.

01:48:04.020 For the purpose of this section, Capitol Square and the surrounding area means the grounds, land, real property, and improvements in the city of Richmond, Virginia, bounded by Bank, Governor, Broad, and Ninth Streets, and the sidewalks of Bank Street extending from 50 feet west of Pocahontas Building entrance to 50 feet east of the entrance of the capital of Virginia.

01:48:31.560 This is what they do.

01:48:33.240 New York has done this.

01:48:34.620 Governor Hochul has done this.

01:48:37.460 What they do is they say, yeah, we're not taking away your right to bear arms.

01:48:42.820 That would be terrible.

01:48:44.360 We're not like that.

01:48:45.680 We're just going to prevent you from carrying a weapon here, here, here, here, here, here.

01:48:50.560 And they add in all these things within a certain area around a school, a church, a government building,

01:49:00.580 a federal building a courtroom a bit and then you look around on a map and realize that's everywhere

01:49:06.620 i cannot carry a weapon in this area and then the other thing they did was make it so you can't even

01:49:14.900 keep the gun in your car so let's say you drove within the boundaries the restricted boundaries

01:49:22.520 that they lay out in this bill.

01:49:25.680 You can't leave your gun in the car.

01:49:28.800 That's illegal.

01:49:30.240 How they enforce that, I don't know, but I don't put it past them.

01:49:34.780 That prevents you from ever taking your gun out.

01:49:38.400 Now, look at what they've done.

01:49:41.480 They've made a law that you can't carry your gun in a certain area.

01:49:47.020 And you can't leave it in your car.

01:49:49.060 so you can't take it out of your house if you're going to be in that area now you're unarmed no

01:49:56.720 matter where you go even in areas that are restricted for anyone that's going to be in

01:50:01.460 the restricted area you have to leave your gun at home and that's another one of their goals

01:50:06.720 we'll continue with this in a little bit a couple of minutes but right after this break

01:50:12.300 because there's so many things in here that are just so scummy on the part of the Virginia legislature.

01:50:21.700 Back in a moment.

01:50:22.920 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:50:28.840 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:50:35.140 The Anthony Cumia Show, and we're talking about old Virginia.

01:50:40.320 Virginia, just rife with liberal Democrat leadership, using the term loosely.

01:50:50.880 And they're right off the starting line, right when this Democrat legislature got in there.

01:51:00.520 All they've been doing is stomping on your rights. 0.99

01:51:05.060 And the guy that sponsored this anti-Second Amendment bill was born in Bangladesh. 0.96

01:51:16.980 He comes over here as an immigrant to come to America for a better life than in Bangladesh.

01:51:27.840 And what does he do? 1.00

01:51:29.420 he just starts ripping our rights out from under us and the second amendment a very important

01:51:38.360 right and um it's beyond me the people of virginia and new york new york city what are you doing

01:51:48.120 you're making me lose all faith in you people help me out here so uh virginia passed this bill

01:51:57.000 and um they don't want you carrying a firearm in a certain uh certain areas one of which being

01:52:04.640 any building owned or leased by the commonwealth and capitol square and surrounding areas it's

01:52:11.160 all very vague sidewalks are involved and uh then they don't let you leave your gun in a in your

01:52:18.860 vehicle so you know you put two and two together and realize i can't leave my house with my gun

01:52:26.260 if i'm driving into this restricted area even if it's only for a moment

01:52:30.440 because i can't leave the gun in my car so you wind up having to leave your house unarmed

01:52:37.640 or be a criminal there you go like i said before they force you into a gun crime and uh where does

01:52:46.700 that leave you with your guns being taken away because you're a criminal um it's their it's

01:52:54.020 their motive i'm not being crazy here i'm not being paranoid this has been their motive when

01:53:00.940 they say they're not taking your guns away they're taking your guns away so uh the thing that really

01:53:08.440 really pissed a lot of people off was in the last uh paragraph of this thing uh they have all the

01:53:17.940 provisions that were listed most of which i the important ones i i uh stated and then

01:53:24.780 uh provision g the provisions of this section shall not apply to any member of the general

01:53:33.400 assembly who leaves a handgun in an unattended motor vehicle pursuant to blah blah blah when

01:53:41.100 such vehicle is parked in any parking structure reserved for members of the assembly um

01:53:47.240 so they they exempted themselves they exempted themselves from this rule of law they can leave

01:54:01.180 the gun in the vehicle so they could drive in armed when they get to work as the general assembly

01:54:09.560 they can put their gun in the glove box or wherever they want to put it and go into the

01:54:15.780 building and work and then when they come out they could strap the gun back on them and be

01:54:23.620 protected unlike the citizens that they presume to represent because their safety is so much more 1.00

01:54:33.200 important than yours bastards doing this i mean how do you vote for this well you're a bleeding 1.00

01:54:42.320 heart liberal idiot that's how you vote for this so i i did read another take on this 1.00

01:54:50.600 and i don't know it's it's an addendum to this that they it's the same thing but they left out 0.99

01:55:00.480 the exemption for the general assembly of virginia but i don't know which one is going

01:55:09.500 through which one is actually being uh volleyed about to be signed so i don't know but don't put

01:55:18.700 anything past them they are trying they are trying with all their heart to uh to keep you from being

01:55:27.500 able to protect yourself with a firearm don't doubt it and they want you in a position where

01:55:35.100 you have your guns taken away from you because you broke the law the laws they put in place

01:55:41.020 that are impossible to adhere to impossible to really know what they are not every gun

01:55:47.920 owner in this country is an expert on laws i try to keep up on as many as i can uh around

01:55:57.020 the country i certainly keep up on the ones um in my state and city and whatnot but it's

01:56:03.700 impossible it's impossible to keep tabs on all the laws in in this country and that's the way

01:56:10.780 they want it they want you confused tripped up and then they go up you blew it guns please

01:56:16.800 uh this guy here this is really funny in a tragic way tragic comedy virginia democrat

01:56:26.480 But Garrett McGuire, he's commenting on the shooting at Old Dominion. 0.97

01:56:33.100 Mohamed Baylor Jalal, I'm so tired of having to figure out how to pronounce these friggin' names. 0.97

01:56:44.640 He's the guy that shot up Old Dominion. 0.99

01:56:47.800 He killed one person, injured a couple others, and then a bunch of cadets attacked him.

01:56:56.480 without any weapons, took him down and stabbed him to death. 0.95

01:57:00.520 Wonderful. A happy ending. 0.99

01:57:04.020 He allegedly brought an assault rifle for a planned attack

01:57:07.740 and sent $500 to undercover agents he thought were ISIS.

01:57:12.200 This is back in 2016, July 2016.

01:57:15.880 He was arrested for attempting to provide material support to ISIS.

01:57:20.340 How is he still in the country?

01:57:22.000 He's a naturalized citizen from Senegal. 0.99

01:57:26.480 he's in this country and he he goes to uh ice or isis and tries to sell them weapons and 1.00

01:57:37.020 information and attack uh people in this country yet he was still allowed to stay in this country 0.69

01:57:45.380 beyond me he uh pled guilty was sentenced to 11 years and then was let out by joe biden by the

01:57:54.360 biden administration and he shot up uh old dominion and um this guy here virginia democrat

01:58:03.140 garrett mcguire he says that this proved that guns aren't needed to take down someone with a gun

01:58:10.880 listen to this but wait mr speaker i asked the body to look at line 49 where we exempt cadets

01:58:17.980 in a college rotc program exempt from even though that we know some of the gun laws that it's not

01:58:23.420 always true that you need a gun to fight back someone with a gun. Because those hero cadets

01:58:29.660 didn't. Livu Labrescu, a Holocaust survivor, professor at Virginia Tech, didn't have a gun

01:58:37.060 when he selflessly gave up his body to prevent the Virginia Tech shooter from entering his

01:58:42.100 classroom and saving lives that day. So, Mr. Speaker, I move that we adopt this important

01:58:46.960 conference report can you even believe what he's saying here uh you don't need a gun if a gunman

01:58:56.320 goes into a building and starts shooting everyone up because the cadets at old dominion proved

01:59:03.380 that you could take a gunman down without a gun so can i have 20 or so cadets follow me around

01:59:12.680 just in case a gunman decides to shoot up the place I'm in?

01:59:17.100 20 cadets.

01:59:18.200 That'd be good.

01:59:19.220 Can I get a 20-cadet permit, a license, to brandish 20 cadets

01:59:25.020 when someone wants to shoot up an establishment I might be frequenting?

01:59:30.420 Or like Virginia Tech. 0.98

01:59:32.440 Hey, throw your body in front of them. 0.74

01:59:35.020 You don't need a gun. 0.97

01:59:36.120 Just lob your body in front of the gunman and be brave to protect other people.

01:59:42.680 Or, how about this, or have a gun that your Second Amendment right says you can have and carry

01:59:53.220 and have the best tool available to you to protect yourself and your loved ones, your family,

02:00:00.420 and perhaps some citizens if the need rears its ugly head. 0.99

02:00:06.560 but this idiot is trying to use the fact that cadets military cadets ROTC cadets 1.00

02:00:17.460 had the gumption and wherewithal to realize a shooting was happening jump up and rush this guy 1.00

02:00:26.180 they did the right thing but thinking that that is an option to having a gun is insane

02:00:34.440 Virginia, I'm sorry.

02:00:36.540 You are lost.

02:00:37.860 Back in a moment.

02:00:39.620 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:00:45.900 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:00:52.440 The Anthony Cumia Show.

02:00:54.940 And I guess I'm not quite done with Virginia yet.

02:00:58.820 My God.

02:00:59.880 um virginia democrats passed a bill uh hb 61 if you want to look it up and this bill prioritizes

02:01:11.760 government contracts based on based on competency hmm nope race and gender race and gender the most

02:01:24.820 important things when you're uh trying to get a government uh contract you know the government

02:01:31.920 wants the well they don't really care if the job is done correctly they just want to make sure

02:01:39.560 that the race and gender of the people doing the job is within their parameters they don't care if

02:01:48.360 things fall apart or the jobs never get done or the cost overruns are astronomical as long as 0.67

02:01:57.260 white dudes aren't involved that's really what this is white dudes need not apply 0.79

02:02:06.280 uh the bill like i said prioritizes government contracts based on race and gender this is 0.88

02:02:14.100 called swam swam small women and minority businesses wouldn't it be women and minority

02:02:23.340 small businesses wham's wham's i guess they needed the acronym uh yeah small women and minority 1.00

02:02:35.020 businesses uh white people will be pushed to the back of the line white men really women 0.64

02:02:40.540 they'll get uh some of the contracts minority women uh will get it over white women i'm sure

02:02:47.520 but white men don't have a chance white people push back in the line in consideration for

02:02:53.820 government contracts and not be considered at all for some contracts so some of them they get put

02:03:00.260 on the bottom of the pile others go right into the shredder it forces state agencies to hit a 42 0.89

02:03:08.140 percent quota for small women and minority businesses meaning businesses owned by minorities 0.78

02:03:15.140 women or certain designated groups it also sets aside government contracts under one hundred

02:03:22.380 thousand dollars specifically for those businesses meaning white people can't even be awarded those 0.81

02:03:27.760 contracts so anything over a hundred thousand dollars you as a white guy you can bid on the

02:03:36.120 contract um but you probably won't get it if it's under a hundred thousand don't even try

02:03:43.760 they're not considering you at all based on nothing but race this is so illegal so illegal

02:03:54.060 uh translation yeah if you're a small business owner who doesn't fall into these categories

02:04:00.280 you're pushed to the back of the line not because of price or quality or experience

02:04:05.840 but because of race and gender quotas that's not equality it's state mandated discrimination

02:04:15.580 in government contracting and it's happening in virginia this is happening in virginia they are

02:04:24.160 passing laws i mean you people in the rest of the country better look at virginia keep your eyes on

02:04:35.080 virginia that is potentially what is going to happen in the united states if they get

02:04:44.300 all the marbles they get the presidency the house the senate this is what you're going to see these

02:04:53.600 are the bills that you will see passed you think it's kind of nice that of late we haven't seen as

02:05:01.740 much woke nonsense not as much emphasis on transgender uh stuff and and drag queen story

02:05:11.160 time we really don't hear about that much anymore you know there's still transgender uh uh um 0.95

02:05:18.560 there's still kids that they're saying are transgender and they're pumping them full of

02:05:23.900 uh drugs and unnecessary barbaric mutilation surgeries but we're not really seeing it as

02:05:31.700 much as we did during the biden administration uh don't think that's because they don't want it

02:05:39.280 trump has been running block on all that nonsense and they've been trying their best to to stop him

02:05:47.560 from doing that with these activist judges appointed by uh obama and biden um da's

02:05:57.960 and prosecutors it's you know we we saw we saw it it was happening and it will happen again

02:06:06.860 keep your eye on old virginie because that is a microcosm of what could happen in this country

02:06:16.820 given uh the right circumstances the right circumstances being the wrong people in power

02:06:24.600 um it can happen man uh let's talk to boom tom long island new york what's up tom

02:06:36.080 hey anthony number one i want to thank you very very much taking my call

02:06:41.260 thank you first time call to your show i've been trying to put this message out to this radio

02:06:46.520 station with several hosts i waited on line to the programs and then never got taken so thank

02:06:52.340 you again. It happens. There's a lot of calls and a few lines. I'm 65 years old. I had nine

02:06:59.340 uncles fight for this country since World War II. One of my uncles survived the Bataan

02:07:07.000 death march. Every one of my uncles, after the five that went to World War II, the other

02:07:13.500 four served in Korea and all came home. God bless it. Oh, that's nice. They're laying

02:07:19.340 in national cemeteries to serve

02:07:21.400 in this country. I've

02:07:23.420 recently visited my father's

02:07:25.500 grave, where my mother

02:07:27.280 is also laying there.

02:07:28.900 A Democratic Party,

02:07:31.160 blue and blue, true and true, 0.95

02:07:33.220 way back when the Democrats were true. 0.59

02:07:36.300 Yeah. She worked for

02:07:37.280 the OSS before

02:07:39.280 it was the CIA. Never

02:07:41.220 once said anything she did there.

02:07:43.600 Nobody in my family,

02:07:45.200 outside of a couple of my uncles, told me about what

02:07:47.160 they went through. But my gray

02:07:49.160 my grandmother going through world war ii how to sacrifice beef how to get coupons for beef

02:07:58.520 people complaining about gas prices going up 60 cents a gallon yeah everyone's got to get together

02:08:05.500 in this country and start coming to realize what everyone in that cemetery filled with national

02:08:12.060 heroes and people who survived had the decency to put their life on the line to survive

02:08:18.800 are turning it all away because they have no dedication to this country no more.

02:08:24.160 Where are the true patriotics of this country?

02:08:26.800 Where are the upstanding Minutemen that we want to go back to and really see?

02:08:31.960 I am livid.

02:08:33.880 And I know one thing, and I can tell you this honestly.

02:08:37.080 When I stood at my father's grave, I could almost hear and fear the rumble from the ground

02:08:44.640 of all these patriots who gave their life and suffered many injuries

02:08:50.560 roaring at this country saying i did this so you survive where are you people do you think people

02:08:59.560 in in this day and age understand things like sacrifice and not getting instant gratification

02:09:09.400 and having to go through hard times and realizing that sometimes that's necessary for the greater good of the country.

02:09:18.860 These were things that the people you speak of, your uncles and parents and whatnot, understood.

02:09:25.580 And, you know, it wasn't pleasant, but they understood that sometimes you have to go through tough times and make sacrifices.

02:09:35.020 I agree 100%.

02:09:36.540 No way these days.

02:09:37.920 you but this was handed down when i was a kid we would sit around a table eating dinner and

02:09:45.700 whatever you discussed at the dinner table never left the house these people go out now and just

02:09:51.200 spit there was a certain turn back in the old days loose lips sink ships yeah yeah yeah a lot

02:09:57.480 of the media like i don't want to bash one of your uh previous posts but talking about how bad

02:10:04.420 the New York City subway system

02:10:06.760 is vulnerable, why would you even put

02:10:08.760 that idea out there when you've got

02:10:10.700 all these teenage kids looking

02:10:12.760 for an idea to do something?

02:10:14.380 Yeah, well, I think they know.

02:10:16.640 I don't think anybody... We need to go back to the systems

02:10:18.680 when, hey, as far 1.00

02:10:20.860 as I'm concerned, Mondami,

02:10:22.700 I didn't get a chance to vote for them because I don't live in a city,

02:10:25.520 but they

02:10:26.780 have to go. If you don't like

02:10:28.800 it here, get the hell out.

02:10:31.160 I'm sorry, I don't mean to be vulgar, but...

02:10:32.920 No, no, I agree, and I appreciate it.

02:10:37.300 Thanks so much for the call, Tom.

02:10:39.040 Be well.

02:10:40.480 Yeah, you know, that's how the older generation thinks.

02:10:45.980 I'm in that, too.

02:10:48.780 But, you know, you have to realize, look,

02:10:52.760 I know a lot of people are furious about this war.

02:10:58.200 or you know we didn't technically declare war but again semantics there's bombs being dropped

02:11:06.120 and people are dying so semantics the war um and people are livid they're coming up with all kinds

02:11:14.760 of ideas as to why we're there what we're doing uh why we shouldn't be there uh it's very hard

02:11:24.800 for American citizens to know exactly what's going on.

02:11:29.860 We're certainly not told everything.

02:11:32.860 I don't even think we're told most things.

02:11:35.460 I think we're told very little as to what's really going on,

02:11:39.580 and history is a great indicator of just that.

02:11:44.260 As time goes by and more comes out about historical events,

02:11:50.140 you realize that the people were kept in the dark.

02:11:52.660 um and sometimes i i guess that's that's necessary or at least the powers that be feel it's necessary

02:12:00.380 uh you know did would it have been good to let the american people know that we had that we were

02:12:09.020 working on the atomic bomb hey everyone we're working on this amazing bomb that could end the

02:12:17.080 war in a couple of days or a week uh the invasion of europe normandy hey don't worry people we got

02:12:27.200 a huge invasion coming right there so it's not like you're sitting there as some cuckold

02:12:36.060 for the government saying well good i don't want to know i don't want to know those things the

02:12:42.120 government should be able to do things without telling us because that sounds like you know

02:12:46.720 you've got a boot in your mouth.

02:12:50.100 But there are certain circumstances that I've just mentioned

02:12:55.200 that I think anyone would be hard-pressed to say,

02:12:58.860 no, we should have known that.

02:13:00.460 They should have informed the American people 0.57

02:13:02.380 that the English had decoded the Enigma machine 0.59

02:13:07.600 and that we were getting all Germany's communications.

02:13:12.380 There are certain things that we can't know.

02:13:15.640 It's the way it is. 0.86

02:13:17.700 So to say you know everything and every reason that we are doing what we're doing in Iran right now is naive. 0.98

02:13:28.060 That's naive.

02:13:30.760 I don't know.

02:13:32.860 Maybe they are there just to do Israel's bidding, like some people say.

02:13:38.380 Because how do I know?

02:13:40.820 Or maybe they knew that Iran was up to things with a nuclear program. 0.88

02:13:49.300 Or they just said, enough of this country. 0.99

02:13:52.760 Enough of them pulling this crap for decade upon decade upon decade. 1.00

02:13:57.880 They're the last holdout of this old school Middle Eastern sponsors of terrorism. 1.00

02:14:04.080 Saudi got their ass in gear. 0.99

02:14:06.100 They're still terrible to their own people, but it's not like they're ready to launch missiles into neighboring countries anytime soon. 1.00

02:14:14.980 They do business with them.

02:14:16.580 The almighty dollar has been responsible for so much peace in the Middle East. 0.96

02:14:23.080 All of them are wheeling and dealing with each other, except Iran. 0.98

02:14:28.940 And they look and go, yeah, this is just, this is like having some a-hole at work. 0.98

02:14:34.660 you're trying to get work done you're trying to be productive and there's just an a-hole running

02:14:40.220 around screwing up the program and that is iran right now in the middle east and they got away 0.65

02:14:47.280 with it for many years because a lot of countries in the middle east were like that unstable ready

02:14:53.280 to uh ready to drop bombs and go switch the the the violence switch on but now doing business

02:15:07.220 with the middle east is something every country in the world does they do business

02:15:13.460 iran is bad for business it has to be done away with has to be changed so maybe that's it

02:15:22.920 I don't know 1.00

02:15:24.260 I don't know

02:15:26.020 but

02:15:28.840 you know to say that you know

02:15:31.640 is crazier than

02:15:33.640 anything I've just said

02:15:35.820 saying you know for sure

02:15:37.980 that it's this this that that

02:15:39.820 him who what country this one 0.99

02:15:41.740 is insane

02:15:43.560 to say you absolutely know this

02:15:45.800 when you could just look

02:15:47.800 at history like I said and

02:15:49.660 realize we don't know

02:15:51.040 we don't know anything and sometimes it's better that way and you could say again i sound like i

02:15:58.820 got a boot over my neck or my throat or my my mouth but uh there were plenty of examples

02:16:05.040 where the government did not tell the american people what was going on

02:16:09.220 and it was absolutely for the better it's how things have to work sometimes clandestine

02:16:16.300 oh boy day wouldn't be complete without the lovely susan what's up susan

02:16:24.460 hi anthony hi how are you okay you made a little mistake uh mandami didn't have that little prayer

02:16:32.840 session at gracie mansion it was much worse it was in the blue room at city hall oh city hall

02:16:38.720 yeah i always i always say gracie mansion because that's where you know you're used to seeing the

02:16:43.800 The mayor's doing a lot of their work and stuff in the office.

02:16:47.580 Oh, no, it's much worse.

02:16:48.140 You can't mix state with religion. 0.95

02:16:52.020 Yeah. 0.96

02:16:52.780 Oh, isn't that wonderful?

02:16:54.100 Oh, you know, I hope he doesn't have a weekly meeting there of his.

02:16:57.900 He probably will.

02:16:59.440 Because who's going to do anything about it, Susan?

02:17:01.700 Who's going to say anything about it except people here, radio stations, podcasts?

02:17:08.060 You know, other than that, the New Yorkers just.

02:17:10.720 If I was a little younger, I'd move down to the Carolinas where you are.

02:17:13.800 oh boy get yourself had it i really had it i'm living on the upper east side not far from

02:17:19.500 gracie mansion across the street we have a migrant shelter they're opening up at the hotel

02:17:24.580 on 62nd street upper west side or east side east side oh east side at the river here oh boy

02:17:33.460 the best location isn't that where uh where uh they were supposed to live on i love lucy

02:17:40.440 Wasn't that Lucy and Ricky's apartment?

02:17:42.980 Yeah, they were supposed to live on the Upper East Side near the river.

02:17:47.820 Like, in the 600 block, there's no such thing.

02:17:50.860 Yeah, Murray Hill 5, 7735.

02:17:54.100 Murray Hill 5.

02:17:55.840 Yeah, it's all going to hell.

02:18:01.020 It's all going to hell.

02:18:02.660 Manhattan, all the formerly upper crusty neighborhoods, 0.96

02:18:07.940 uh they're all going getting another we're getting a women's shelter on first avenue and 61st street 1.00

02:18:14.700 that ought to bring in some good people yeah fentanyl addicts and um prostitutes three 0.98

02:18:22.080 million dollar apartments well they that's what they want to do they want to make those three 0.89

02:18:26.520 million dollar apartments um five hundred thousand dollar apartments they they lower the value of it

02:18:33.600 So that way the city can buy them up and now it's the city's apartments and Danny could do what he wanted to do, fill them full of low-income renters. 0.97

02:18:45.720 Yeah, that's what's happening. 0.97

02:18:47.560 Lower the property values and the city does the rest.

02:18:51.460 Susan, thank you so much for the phone call.

02:18:54.340 Can't get through a Sunday evening without Susan.

02:18:58.920 That's for sure.

02:18:59.680 but uh yeah it's uh they're building these shelters and other places they're putting

02:19:06.120 uh these these illegal aliens into these hotels and the surrounding area gets affected with drug

02:19:14.720 use and violence and the property value goes down and then if the people want to sell their 0.95

02:19:20.120 property before it bottoms out they will sell it to anyone and that anyone is the city and you know

02:19:27.200 what Memdani's take is on city property.

02:19:30.700 He doesn't want private ownership.

02:19:32.980 So he wants the New York to own these properties.

02:19:38.300 And that's his strategy. 0.99

02:19:40.240 If you don't see it, you're a dummy. 0.95

02:19:43.340 All right, back in a moment. 0.98

02:20:52.100 And then Hollywood director David Borenstein.

02:20:57.200 he uh just said you lose your country by being complicit when a government murders people in

02:21:04.680 our streets stay out of the way of uh ice we'll get uh shot in the face when we don't say anything

02:21:12.080 when oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce it and consume it when accepting

02:21:17.340 an oscar for his documentary mr nobody against putin um the media oligarchs take over the media

02:21:27.000 and control how it's produced.

02:21:28.660 You're at the Academy Awards.

02:21:31.900 This is where everyone who produces the media,

02:21:35.540 who puts out the product that influences the people,

02:21:40.440 the propaganda.

02:21:41.040 What the hell are you talking about?

02:21:47.080 They don't even know what they're saying anymore, 1.00

02:21:49.940 these Hollywood jackasses. 0.98

02:21:54.500 Javier Bardem. 0.98

02:21:57.000 Once again, ruined the Oscars by bringing his personal politics into it, saying no to war and free Palestine.

02:22:03.640 And of course, the entire room clapped like seals, again, bringing the politics onto the stage.

02:22:14.400 Jimmy Kimmel brought politics up there, going after CBS and Melania Trump.

02:22:27.000 What did he say Kimmel?

02:22:29.420 Oh, man, is he going to be mad that his wife wasn't nominated for this documentary film?

02:22:36.200 I guess.

02:22:38.140 Oh, God.

02:22:40.680 Unbelievable.

02:22:42.340 This is this is Hollywood.

02:22:44.640 These are the award shows.

02:22:47.420 Who would go to any other?

02:22:49.620 or who would care or watch or be at any event where a bunch of people just

02:22:58.340 just talked about how awesome they were and how um how great they are and pat each other on the

02:23:07.540 back uh what did what did michael b jordan say i stand here because of the people that came before

02:23:13.840 me Sidney Poitier Denzel Washington Halle Berry Jamie Foxx Forrest Whitaker Will Smith you're

02:23:22.380 gonna smack someone and to be amongst those giants amongst those greats amongst my ancestors

02:23:28.480 thank you it's always gotta it's always gotta come down to that doesn't it can't just be hey

02:23:35.600 thanks won an award it's 2026 for god's sake yes Sidney Poitier that was impressive

02:23:43.420 what was that the 60s sydney poitier once wins an academy award at a time when you know there was

02:23:54.280 racism now we all knew he was going to win this we all knew it for sinners for a a

02:24:04.440 knockoff of from dusk till dawn with black people instead of hispanic people 1.00

02:24:11.720 That was that was pretty much it. Can we all just get along? Apparently not. Apparently not. 1.00

02:24:24.960 And the Bank of England, the Bank of England has decided to remove Winston Churchill from its five pound note.

02:24:35.500 And this, again, just another way to tear down Western civilization, Western traditions, ideals, heroes, whatever you want to call it.

02:24:54.100 I don't like Winnie Churchill all that much, but taking Europeans, white Europeans, English, Anglo off of money, taking statues down. 0.94

02:25:12.120 We've seen that happen so many times here in this country, and they're going to replace it with nature. 0.98

02:25:20.060 so they'll put some birds

02:25:22.700 maybe a tree

02:25:24.280 on it instead of Winston Churchill

02:25:26.980 and the reasoning

02:25:29.040 was that it was just

02:25:31.100 time because England is known

02:25:32.980 for its nature and what not

02:25:34.400 and it isn't it offends 0.99

02:25:36.740 Muslims 0.93

02:25:38.420 it offends English 1.00

02:25:40.400 people in England not English 1.00

02:25:42.640 people in England that have come 0.99

02:25:44.840 from other far away crap 1.00

02:25:46.780 hole lands that 0.99

02:25:48.600 use the five pound note they don't want to look at a jolly drunken white man 0.92

02:25:55.280 so they'll look at nature right up until they put a person of color on the on the note 0.53

02:26:05.160 yeah that's what will happen i guess the susan b anthony that was supposed to be on the 20 they
