00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game

00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.

00:00:07.520 Not anymore.

00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.

00:00:12.820 That's right.

00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,

00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:20.680 yeah there we go the anthony comia show live on this sunday evening how is everybody

00:01:46.640 Hope you had a great weekend up till now.

00:01:50.100 I know technically it's still the weekend, but please, let's all be honest about Sundays.

00:01:55.380 Saturday night happens.

00:01:57.860 Even kind of getting into early Sunday morning, Saturday night, if you're still hanging out, you're just thinking,

00:02:04.160 Ugh, Sunday.

00:02:06.280 So I get it.

00:02:07.460 That's why we all get together here for the Anthony Cumia Show and talk about all the wonderfulness happening in the world.

00:02:16.180 What an uplifting program.

00:02:18.680 Welcome, anyway, and like I said, I hope you did have a good weekend.

00:02:22.020 I certainly did.

00:02:24.120 I was out.

00:02:25.660 I went out to dinner Friday night, and I had an experience that got me thinking about this country we live in, America,

00:02:37.000 and how we were as a country, how we hope we can be again at some point as a country.

00:02:45.320 um but it's such a stark contrast to what we are as a country especially in your bigger cities

00:02:52.320 you know i i left new york city because i just had it like many people do a lot of people don't

00:03:00.720 have the capacity to just pick up and leave i did so uh uh i'm around greenville south carolina and

00:03:09.080 And I got to tell you, the difference in what you experience on a daily basis is so stark.

00:03:19.180 It's just a huge change from New York, especially New York City.

00:03:26.180 And when I came down here, a lot of people were like, well, you're going to miss the food at least, right?

00:03:30.460 The New York food.

00:03:31.720 and i start thinking and going no i don't think i am because uh the food hasn't been really good

00:03:39.760 new york in a while i gotta just be honest uh little italy right you get your pasta

00:03:46.560 no i go to a place in little italy it's um those aren't italians working there

00:03:52.920 i assure you you can go to little italy you could go to an italian place you could go to

00:03:58.460 Whatever it is, there are a couple of great steakhouses in New York and some really good restaurants.

00:04:04.120 I get it.

00:04:04.960 But it's not like it was so many years ago where if you left New York, you were settling for garbage pizza and horrible pasta and whatever, whatever kind of food you're into.

00:04:17.420 It wasn't going to be as good.

00:04:19.120 Well, that's not the case these days.

00:04:22.200 I think my theory is that during COVID, especially a lot of these chefs, a lot of these really good cooks in these famous New York City restaurants had had it with the places being closed.

00:04:36.420 Some of the states in the in the United States actually allowed people to open restaurants and and act like human beings.

00:04:47.240 So we got a lot of that all over the country.

00:04:50.780 And down here, there was a lot of restaurants opening up that are very nice, very good, good food.

00:04:57.880 And the service, this is the part that started getting me thinking.

00:05:01.940 The whole experience, not just the food.

00:05:05.480 We walked into this restaurant, and it's packed.

00:05:08.380 And there were no seats, tables, or at the bar.

00:05:12.580 So, of course, you know, we'll wait at the bar.

00:05:14.520 You kind of stand there, you get a drink and hope for the best.

00:05:17.400 And then I noticed there's this older couple.

00:05:19.620 Yes, believe it or not.

00:05:20.780 older than me and they're standing there uh and they're looking at the bar and they got a couple

00:05:25.640 of drinks in their hands and immediately you know they're waiting too and they were here first

00:05:31.700 they were waiting for the bar chairs to open up before we were and and i glanced over and the guy

00:05:40.000 glances over and we give each other a head nod that completely works that out it we were both

00:05:49.020 completely understanding of what was happening right at that moment.

00:05:56.080 We both needed a seat for us and our significant other.

00:06:00.000 They were there first, and without a word, we knew.

00:06:03.420 We knew that was the case.

00:06:05.480 It was common courtesy.

00:06:08.760 You ever hear of that, kids?

00:06:11.520 Common courtesy.

00:06:12.880 something that i i started seeing on such a a rare instance when i was uh living in new york

00:06:22.700 and in the city it just uh you know everyone is like a jackal you're waiting for a seat and you're

00:06:30.980 like a lion on the serengeti waiting to just disembowel a zebra for that seat and i realized

00:06:38.960 like that that's something you don't see everywhere that's something that seems to uh have have gone

00:06:44.780 to the wayside in this country things like courtesy understanding we didn't have to hash it out we

00:06:52.240 didn't need an interpreter to tell us what we understood because we are both americans and we

00:07:02.640 both know we live in a society that is based on things like courtesy and having a certain sense

00:07:11.020 of morals standards you just understand what it's like to live in a civil society and um just

00:07:22.840 watching that go away over the past few years where everyone's out for themselves and

00:07:31.600 And it struck me also in the bigger picture that it's it's a whole thing as far as this country goes.

00:07:40.920 There are people that live here now because of legal or illegal immigration that don't care at all about America.

00:07:52.380 And I'm not just talking the things we think about every day.

00:07:56.900 You know, they don't like the government.

00:07:59.460 They don't like the treatment they're getting and they have to call everyone racist or there's some problem.

00:08:10.460 And the idea of waving a flag or putting a flag on your house, an American flag, is obscene to them.

00:08:17.660 and and that's a big part of what i'm talking about here too because you you have to understand

00:08:25.300 what it is to be an american to live in this country as an american uh we've we've quickly

00:08:33.500 gotten this misconception over the course of the years that uh because we live within a common

00:08:38.900 border that we're americans that's all it took like hey here we are we we live and the map says

00:08:47.000 i'm in america so i'm an american meanwhile i'll do anything i want i'll bring horrible habits and

00:08:55.000 cultures over from uh where i came from that are not conducive to living in this country

00:09:00.500 and i will not assimilate one bit and i'll hold up the flag of my former nation and i'll bad mouth

00:09:07.940 the country and its leadership and its people and its uh ideals and yet they they right away

00:09:16.700 will jump and go hey i'm an american i have rights don't say that or do that to me or uh but

00:09:22.500 they don't they don't they don't embrace what it is to be an american not just living in borders

00:09:30.500 there's a whole uh there's a whole method to the madness of of being being american we have the

00:09:42.220 same or similar ideology ethics and morality we can go off and have our own opinions on things

00:09:49.080 obviously that's that's been the way uh uh it's been for many many years but we understand things

00:09:57.400 we don't need this big conversation to just understand that there are certain

00:10:02.440 ways to behave as americans in a society and and some of those are unspoken like the the

00:10:11.020 gentleman and his lady at that restaurant. We just knew that's what you do. There are plenty of laws

00:10:19.300 in this country, and you will face the consequences if you break those laws. But honestly, is it

00:10:27.680 really the consequences of those laws that keep you from breaking the laws? Or do you just know

00:10:34.940 better? Are you just a better person? Do you realize when we put together this American

00:10:42.860 society and it grew that there was a certain sense of morality and a certain way we behave

00:10:57.040 that goes unspoken? We don't need the laws. It's not like many people I don't think would

00:11:03.860 harm other people or kill other people or steal from other people if it wasn't for the laws.

00:11:10.000 You know, oh, the laws are there.

00:11:11.200 That's the only reason I'm not doing this.

00:11:13.240 No, no.

00:11:14.360 We all know you're just, we came to that agreement without it even having to really be written

00:11:22.580 down.

00:11:23.180 We just know that this is the way we act.

00:11:26.000 We're charitable when need be.

00:11:29.960 We're sympathetic and empathetic when need be.

00:11:33.860 You know, we get pissed off and might say things and do things that we don't because we don't agree with certain things.

00:11:40.620 But on the whole, we were Americans.

00:11:42.540 And this was something that lasted for quite some time.

00:11:46.300 And we were raised that way.

00:11:48.320 Our parents raised us that way.

00:11:50.640 Even with some of their insane ideology, it got through right from wrong.

00:11:55.420 Things you do, things you don't do.

00:11:57.620 And it just worked.

00:11:59.020 and and as we grew up we understood that and we grew into adulthood and and we we got that we

00:12:07.160 have to um live with other people and it's a lot easier if we go about that um nicely

00:12:15.660 uh and treat each other a little better but there's just this been this influx of people

00:12:23.540 that have no concept of that and i don't know are they really to blame who knows uh but it's just

00:12:31.960 not a good thing selfish arrogant no no sense of community whatsoever and it's funny because

00:12:40.140 they'll say that conservatives or republicans have no sense of community because uh they seem

00:12:46.440 cruel when it comes to things like uh welfare and and bringing in uh illegal aliens from

00:12:54.580 horrible nations and why are we so mean like that no because there are rules to be followed

00:12:59.840 and some people like i said they get here and they don't understand those unspoken rules

00:13:06.260 sit back for a little while if you just got here soak it in take a few breaths of air and

00:13:13.400 look around and see what it's like to really be an American

00:13:17.740 before you just start grabbing up at everything that is good for you

00:13:22.940 and not very good for the nation as a whole.

00:13:28.440 Just wanted to get that out of the way.

00:13:30.440 Nice weekend of realizing I kind of live in a nice place with nice people

00:13:35.400 and it reminded me of maybe what this country should be.

00:13:40.580 It was at some point, but it should be.

00:13:45.100 We'll be right back.

00:13:46.280 We're going to take a quick break,

00:13:47.520 and we will rejoin you here with the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:13:52.860 This is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:14:10.580 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:14:30.480 Hey, everyone.

00:14:32.380 Anthony Cumia.

00:14:34.140 Thank you for tuning in.

00:14:35.980 The support is much appreciated.

00:14:37.680 uh another story from from last week is uh and this is something that's been happening a lot

00:14:44.180 and has a lot of people worried they're scared uh planes you know the aviation industry an

00:14:51.160 american airlines plane uh caught fire at the denver airport i guess they were you know flying

00:14:57.120 somewhere the engine experienced some trouble they landed they were diverted to denver landed

00:15:03.660 And then somewhere between the runway and the gate, the engine burst into flames.

00:15:11.200 So they deployed the emergency equipment and the slides and the fire trucks came up.

00:15:19.720 And from what I saw from the videos, oh, my God, a lot of the passengers had gone out of the emergency exit over the wings

00:15:27.820 and were standing on the wing that the engine underneath was burning.

00:15:34.760 It was on fire.

00:15:35.340 And they were standing on the wing, like waiting for what?

00:15:38.160 A ladder?

00:15:39.500 Waiting for someone to invite them to step off what amounts to the giant fuel tank you're standing on?

00:15:47.200 That's got fire burning under it?

00:15:50.900 I understand that a lot of times in these aviation emergencies, the flight crew,

00:15:56.340 and they'll let you know these days.

00:15:57.820 The flight crew, stewardesses, flight attendants, I'm sorry, will tell you that they are here for your safety.

00:16:06.240 They certainly aren't here for your convenience anymore, that's for sure.

00:16:10.520 So I guess they are just there for your safety and that you must follow their directions implicitly.

00:16:17.560 Well, I'm not going to stand on a wing that has a blast furnace burning under it and wait for instructions.

00:16:28.500 I'm probably going to do whatever it takes to get down from the burning wing.

00:16:36.580 But, you know, people are sheep for the most part.

00:16:39.800 They really don't know what's going on.

00:16:42.000 I saw that last crash.

00:16:43.660 there was some video from that one that flipped over

00:16:45.740 because, I don't know, what happened?

00:16:48.600 A broad fly, and she turned the thing over.

00:16:52.440 So there was video from it.

00:16:55.480 And as people are running out the emergency exit,

00:16:59.360 I saw in the background someone was still hanging upside down

00:17:02.960 from their seatbelt, just, I guess, waiting for, you know,

00:17:07.660 they didn't hear the seatbelt light.

00:17:10.160 The ding didn't go off.

00:17:11.440 you can now unbuckle some people i don't think they have the ability to really work and improvise

00:17:21.940 and kind of take take it upon themselves have a little initiative to uh do something like

00:17:28.860 oh save your own life how about that too many people wait and too many people get injured

00:17:36.980 This one, the slides came out, people slid down,

00:17:40.240 and it's like 12 people were taken to the hospital with injuries.

00:17:43.860 From a slide?

00:17:46.200 How do people get hurt on the simplest little contraption,

00:17:51.260 like a blow-up slide?

00:17:53.360 But this, again, the deeper story here is the aviation industry.

00:18:01.500 And, you know, I've been talking about this online for years.

00:18:06.320 I saw it coming.

00:18:07.720 I read the articles.

00:18:09.400 You know, every so often you'd see Boeing would put out an article or Delta, American, all of them,

00:18:14.960 would put out this little article about their DEI program, their diversity, equity, and inclusion program.

00:18:21.800 So proud of it.

00:18:23.480 Here's our director, a big 8x10 picture, and here's our director of diversity, equity, and inclusion,

00:18:30.660 and here are the goals to make sure we have a diverse workplace.

00:18:36.320 We have stats that we want to reach.

00:18:40.200 We want to reach these numbers.

00:18:42.080 A certain amount of minorities and women and this in the next couple of years.

00:18:49.420 That's our goal.

00:18:50.780 Our number one goal, by the way.

00:18:54.240 That's fine if it's Starbucks, something like that.

00:18:59.460 You know, what's going to happen?

00:19:01.560 Someone messes up your latte.

00:19:03.060 i i i learned this um quite a few years ago people the majority of people that fly do not

00:19:13.080 want to plummet they never want to plummet that's a it's a terrible thing there are many instances

00:19:21.140 where where plummeting is good high dive board maybe is that really plummeting though uh and i

00:19:29.180 think the diversity equity and inclusion programs in the aviation industry might bring us closer to

00:19:36.180 plummeting um when all we wanted to do was get quickly from point a to point b so it's uh it's

00:19:43.940 quite frightening to see that this is something uh happening in the aviation industry i hope it

00:19:50.240 gets better it looks like it is they're trying to blame trump for this but uh it absolutely looks

00:19:55.580 like it's uh it's getting better because at least we're seeing it when i was when i'd look at these

00:20:02.080 articles it was they were frightening because all you would you would read about is how they're

00:20:08.000 getting people in that i have to assume aren't as qualified you are somehow lowering the bar

00:20:13.640 and that bar needs to be consistently raised it's never good enough how about that it's never good

00:20:20.180 enough so never even think of lowering it uh i don't understand why they feel you know i've heard

00:20:27.640 this one people want a pilot that looks like them i don't i want a pilot that looks like

00:20:33.660 sully sullenberger that's what i want i want a pilot that looks like a guy that was strafing

00:20:39.940 the road of death in an a-10 warthog back in the gulf war that's the guy i want i don't care if he

00:20:46.260 looks like me i don't care if he looks like my sister i want him to be the most competent pilot

00:20:51.740 and as far as the uh ground crews go mechanics yeah same thing we'll be back in a moment

00:21:16.260 Whipping out free speech.

00:21:18.000 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:21:24.840 Gotta keep separated.

00:21:27.660 Anthony Cumia Show.

00:21:30.340 Hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday evening.

00:21:33.840 Thank you for joining us.

00:21:35.920 And by us, I mean me.

00:21:39.300 The former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, is a blithering idiot.

00:21:46.260 He really is.

00:21:47.200 I remember when Trump appointed him many years ago, I thought, like, what the hell is Trump doing?

00:21:55.900 This guy's a goof.

00:21:58.260 I remember, and there's certain things you can never forget.

00:22:02.060 You can't get him out of your head.

00:22:03.700 You see a person, and you only see him for that.

00:22:07.860 Presidential elections have been lost on so much.

00:22:11.080 Dukakis with his dumb bobble head

00:22:13.800 sticking out of the tank

00:22:14.860 during his presidential run

00:22:17.140 who was that

00:22:19.860 Edwards

00:22:20.860 what was his name

00:22:22.180 yeah guy

00:22:24.200 Dean

00:22:25.340 it can ruin you

00:22:29.620 and I witnessed

00:22:31.500 John Bolton

00:22:34.460 at Fox News

00:22:35.680 trying to balance

00:22:38.220 on a kid's toy

00:22:39.740 it wasn't a skateboard it wasn't a hoverboard it was this kind of concave piece of plastic that

00:22:47.080 you're supposed to balance on and work out on or something uh and he got on this thing

00:22:53.500 and and just looked like someone should have been feeding him um oatmeal and and telling him he's

00:23:01.960 doing a good job i just saw it was like oh no and you know on red eye on fox news years ago

00:23:10.460 gutfeld hosted a show called red eye and uh they had him on there and they played the clip and it

00:23:16.320 was so embarrassing and he was just a joke and i never got that out of my head and the guy is just

00:23:23.420 um i don't know he's he's an idiot and uh he was on i guess msnbc the other day of course it's

00:23:32.300 always msnbc or they're all the same anyway it's all the propaganda wing of the left the mainstream

00:23:40.220 media i know i say it all the time it sounds like a slogan at this point but uh prove me wrong

00:23:47.580 Show me different.

00:23:49.240 Show me that they're saying and doing things that aren't completely agenda-driven.

00:23:54.920 And, yeah, I'll debate you on it, but I've not seen even the slightest indication

00:24:00.180 that they do anything but shill for the left and the Democrats and the globalists,

00:24:07.300 as Alex Jones says.

00:24:08.380 They're all part of the globalist agenda.

00:24:10.860 You know, they're putting fluoride in the water to turn all the frogs gay.

00:24:15.660 So, you know, what are you going to do?

00:24:17.580 We understand this. We know it.

00:24:19.340 The media has the lowest approval rating that it's ever had.

00:24:22.940 It constantly goes down.

00:24:24.340 So I don't I'm not surprised seeing all the lies and nonsense on mainstream media.

00:24:29.660 But it's just something that even though you know it, every time you see it, you just go, oh, these people.

00:24:34.760 so uh uh yeah former national security advisor john bolton uh he was talking about trump uh and

00:24:42.240 and trump's uh mission to bring peace to russia and ukraine the only person by the way that has

00:24:51.660 even spoken about trying to broker a peace between these two nations after years of of just

00:24:58.220 unbelievable loss to the uh people in in both nations it's it's terrible just terrible what's

00:25:06.460 going on over there and all these war hawks all these uh you know they'll tell you how much they

00:25:12.920 want peace and then it's just too much money it's too much money and power coming into them

00:25:19.760 to keep this war going peace is terrible uh for them and there's really no other reason for it

00:25:28.260 why wouldn't you at least sit down and talk they didn't even want to bring these uh two countries

00:25:33.500 to the table trump the only one going we got to get together like something so um trump's been

00:25:40.880 doing this he's making some headway you hear things you don't know really what what's uh the

00:25:46.140 truth and what's rumor uh i've heard that zelinski definitely wants to sit down and and talk and

00:25:53.600 even putin has said he's at least willing to listen to the options of having peace talks

00:26:01.380 which is again more than they've ever said in the what is it now five years i don't even know

00:26:07.160 that uh this has been going on so uh kudos to trump and anyone that well truly wants peace in

00:26:14.980 in the region. But Bolton, here he is. Oh, good God. Bolton says Trump has one reason and one

00:26:25.620 reason only for trying to get peace between Ukraine and Russia. Listen to this blithering

00:26:30.940 buffoon. Principles, Secretary of State Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz kind of do

00:26:36.860 the talking. Look, the pressure that Trump has put on for a ceasefire is motivated by one thing,

00:26:42.560 Trump's desire for good publicity and to buttress his cape case to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:26:47.460 You want to cease fire between two warring parties?

00:26:50.720 They need to decide.

00:26:52.420 He thinks Trump is only doing this for the Nobel Prize that he'd probably get out of out of brokering a peace deal between the two nations.

00:27:03.280 uh it's inconceivable that maybe trump would like to see these two nations not

00:27:12.540 wholesale murdering each other for another few years as no one else even mentions it

00:27:19.840 isn't it obvious that there's a concerted agenda against donald trump when he's he's

00:27:28.880 literally talking about peace, about, hey, let's stop the slaughter.

00:27:34.240 And they just can't get with it in any way, shape, or form.

00:27:38.620 They just look and go, no.

00:27:40.800 Who's saying this?

00:27:41.600 Trump?

00:27:41.980 No.

00:27:43.160 That proves that there's an agenda there.

00:27:46.860 And what a terrible agenda to keep a war going.

00:27:52.100 What, because you don't like somebody that wants to stop it?

00:27:56.200 And then coming up with excuses.

00:27:58.020 And let's say, let's just go off the rails here and say that the reason Donald Trump wants peace is because he wants a Nobel Prize.

00:28:08.100 Is that really that bad?

00:28:13.160 If it resulted in peace, you heard that old saying, the end justifies the means.

00:28:19.820 If it resulted in peace, wouldn't you just be like, yeah, go, enjoy, put your little Nobel Prize on your mantle.

00:28:27.820 Donald at Mar-a-Lago right next to his golf I won the golf competition he won a golf competition

00:28:35.280 today at his club he's the club champion literally hours after he uh bombed the crap out of the

00:28:45.240 hooties in Yemen he was still in his golf attire ah you gotta love him so uh yeah let's say that's

00:28:54.480 the only reason that he uh he wants peace is to get himself a shiny new trophy for his uh mantle

00:29:02.640 who cares who cares john bolton a guy that that just wants war and it's it's this this the whole

00:29:15.820 thing of these politicians that want this to continue and and they feel they seem like addicts

00:29:22.320 That needs some conflict going on somewhere or they start jonesing.

00:29:27.480 And the prospect of peace upsets them because they're so used to being part of world conflicts where they just broker death and destruction for their own riches and power that when someone tries to rein it back, they start itching their arms and they need a fix.

00:29:49.840 They go crazy.

00:29:50.560 They got to start something somewhere else or they'll go nuts.

00:29:55.620 If we really look at the situation, isn't a Russia at peace a better thing for everybody?

00:30:07.620 If Putin is so bad, wouldn't you like to kind of get him into a peaceful mindset?

00:30:14.600 That have a war going on where God knows how and when it could escalate?

00:30:20.560 If something happens, you know, when war is going on, some weird stuff happens.

00:30:27.160 Countries do certain things.

00:30:28.900 You might make a miscalculation.

00:30:31.140 Whatever happens, it's like it could escalate it.

00:30:34.880 When countries are at peace, look at us in China.

00:30:38.940 We've been in so many proxy wars over the years with China that you can't even count them.

00:30:45.200 During the Cold War, you know, we were constantly fighting China through using other countries.

00:30:52.320 And we're really not in proxy wars with China for the most part now.

00:30:57.820 We're in, you know, corporate espionage wars.

00:31:03.520 They try to steal every patent and item that we invent or come up with.

00:31:09.720 We're in other types of economic wars with China, but it seems like when you strike up an economic relationship with a country, it gets really hard to go to war with them.

00:31:26.260 It gets really difficult. You think China and the U.S. could come to some kind of shooting war where where Chinese soldiers and American soldiers are facing each other, shooting at each other?

00:31:40.080 It would be really tough because the entire global economy depends on us not shooting at each other.

00:31:47.500 russia not necessarily celery uh it's it's russia the old enemy the old soviet union

00:31:57.720 still looked at by some as the bad guy and the united states you know freedom justice for all

00:32:05.920 kind of a thing and we have to look at russia constantly as this enemy of democracy they even

00:32:14.380 use that now with the ukraine thing oh ukraine just wants their democracy what what was the

00:32:22.460 last election they went to with this zelinski guy was the last time he held an election

00:32:27.940 there's no democracy over there they're not our ally we might want to support them because we

00:32:34.220 don't like russia but they're not our ally so what good is it to keep uh this conflict going

00:32:43.560 money yeah bolton knows it all the politicians that are crowing about keeping this going and

00:32:50.620 supporting ukraine all it is is about the money that they make with government contracts

00:32:57.280 all all these uh weapons manufacturers like boeing uh lockheed martin all these

00:33:05.500 they make weapons and then what happens it's all about supply and demand if you're making weapons

00:33:11.420 and no one's blowing people up with them,

00:33:13.700 you're going to have a supply, not enough demand.

00:33:17.060 So people keep this cycle going,

00:33:20.500 and that's all we've been looking at with this war.

00:33:24.220 Why else would people not want peace between these two nations?

00:33:29.660 And the other excuse they use is that Russia is evil.

00:33:33.080 Putin is evil, Russia is evil.

00:33:34.820 I don't know if Putin's an evil guy.

00:33:37.040 he seems to be a leader that wants to do the best thing for his country what he believes is the best

00:33:45.380 thing now you know you could look at some maniacal leaders of the past and say the same thing they

00:33:49.900 thought they were doing great for their country but uh whether he's evil and and gonna that's

00:33:56.460 gonna affect our way of life somehow because of what's going on uh with russia and ukraine i don't

00:34:03.160 i don't know a peaceful uh region would be uh advantageous for the entire planet at this point

00:34:11.820 but i always i always bring up this analogy about uh the kid he's trying to sleep trying to go to

00:34:20.080 bed and he's scared and he thinks there's a monster in the closet and he yells for his dad

00:34:26.040 And his dad comes in, and there's two ways the father can play this.

00:34:31.680 And this is how the government, this is the option the government has.

00:34:36.220 The monster in the closet is Russia.

00:34:38.420 That's a monster.

00:34:40.000 Now, you could keep it being a monster.

00:34:42.420 You could tell the kid, you know, I will put a chair against this door.

00:34:46.160 I'm here for you.

00:34:47.720 I'm right in the other room.

00:34:48.960 And I will keep that monster from getting out and getting you.

00:34:51.720 And the kid goes to sleep knowing that dad is the hero.

00:34:55.260 and the government wants to be the hero.

00:34:57.880 That Putin is a monster.

00:34:59.240 Russia is evil

00:35:00.520 and they're trying to do away with your way of life.

00:35:04.920 Or the dad could come in,

00:35:08.200 open the closet,

00:35:09.500 have the kid come over,

00:35:10.620 take a look and go,

00:35:11.780 see, there's no monster in here.

00:35:14.280 There's just nothing in here to be afraid of.

00:35:17.980 I'll leave it open.

00:35:19.400 You could look in there.

00:35:20.860 I'll turn a light on for you, whatever.

00:35:22.760 But now the dad walks away

00:35:24.960 and the kid goes oh there is no monster that's nice to know and and the dad walks away having

00:35:31.840 solved the problem but without the kid looking at the dad to protect him in that instance anymore

00:35:38.260 he's just going yeah that's good that's what dads should do but the government wants to

00:35:44.780 make you believe that there is a monster and we need to protect you from that monster

00:35:50.460 and in the meantime the money just keeps rolling into these bastards it's um it's it's it's terrible

00:35:59.920 because so many young people are dying i i never thought i'd get really sensitive to

00:36:07.900 seeing the stuff there are certain videos i just will not ever watch i haven't and i will never

00:36:15.760 watch uh most of them are like the old daniel pearl video beheadings i can i have never watched

00:36:23.120 one i never will i think there are some things that when you see them they rip out part of your

00:36:28.800 soul and you never ever get it back uh i i never wanted to see that or hear it you know the audio

00:36:36.160 isn't a treat either from what i'm told but i always thought war stuff i could watch the gulf

00:36:41.780 war especially what is it it's watching uh fa-18s drop bombs on on buildings you could barely see it

00:36:49.000 you know schwarzkopf uh doing a briefing during the gulf war watching a truck roll across a bridge

00:36:56.340 and just get blasted and you go ah dummy look at that idiot what we see coming out of ukraine

00:37:03.960 is man's inhumanity to man it is disgustingly inhuman and and you see their eyes you see the

00:37:17.240 look in their eyes something that was very hard to see um right before they die by the way

00:37:23.540 you know i remember growing up the vietnam war was going and we would see films that were taken

00:37:29.780 And maybe earlier in the week, they'd get it to the U.S.

00:37:32.260 It was not instant, you know, and a lot of it was censored.

00:37:35.840 And you wanted to make sure you weren't going to put really graphic violence into the living rooms of America.

00:37:45.420 Now you see these soldiers laying on the ground, staring up at a drone, and they could barely move.

00:37:52.080 And they're just the agony and sense of defeat in their eyes is the hardest thing to watch.

00:38:01.760 And, you know, that drone flies into them or drops something and they're gone.

00:38:07.040 And I've become kind of sensitive to that where I can't really watch that anymore either.

00:38:14.280 I don't know.

00:38:15.380 i said it last week that this can't be having a good effect on us for how good this war is

00:38:23.640 supposed to be for us we're told all the time we got to keep pumping money into ukraine and

00:38:29.400 and uh fighting for democracy the ukrainian people need us we it's good for us it'll keep

00:38:36.880 putin from uh expanding into the rest of europe and americans will have to go into

00:38:41.940 and i hear all this stuff and i go so this is good why am i feeling so terrible about it why is

00:38:52.040 is it affecting us i believe psychologically because we're so exposed to the graphic

00:38:59.800 gruesomeness of real war uh this time around you know every one of these soldiers seems to have a

00:39:08.480 camera on their head and uh it makes it over here lickety split and boy oh boy is it not

00:39:14.880 good to watch like i said i don't think it's uh i don't think it's healthy at all by the way

00:39:21.000 but people don't seem to want peace but trump's trying he's trying i hope he does not just so he

00:39:28.160 gets his little nobel prize i mean didn't obama get a nobel prize for doing literally nothing

00:39:34.380 They just handed it to him because he was Obama?

00:39:38.300 I think so.

00:39:39.720 I think I remember that happening.

00:39:42.660 So if Trump can get a Nobel Prize for actually assisting, at the least,

00:39:50.060 in stopping this terrible, terrible war,

00:39:54.220 then good for Trump and his new little bauble that he could put up on his trophy shelf.

00:40:00.300 ah sometimes i'm completely disgusted with what's going on in the world

00:40:05.620 ladies and gentlemen we will return in moments don't go anywhere this is the anthony cumia show

00:40:11.780 it's the anthony cumia show

00:40:14.940 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors

00:40:30.840 making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:40:33.360 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:40:36.860 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.

00:40:39.920 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.

00:40:44.920 That's how we protect Ontario.

00:40:46.920 For all of us.

00:40:49.000 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash SaferOntario.

00:40:52.100 Paid for by the Government of Ontario.

00:41:10.620 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:41:14.460 This story had me, you know, rolling, laughing.

00:41:29.440 A federal judge, of course, orders the immediate hold on efforts by Donald Trump,

00:41:35.240 President Trump, to quickly deport Venezuelan nationals

00:41:38.060 under the rarely used wartime powers intended to resist a foreign invasion.

00:41:42.900 it's uh it's called the alien enemies act alien enemies i i i just love the name of it but uh and

00:41:52.420 i love the fact that trump is pulling up up stuff from the 1700s this will work and uh whatever it

00:42:00.360 takes whatever it takes this of course is to try to deport some of these animals that have been

00:42:09.400 allowed free reign in this country open border under uh biden harris and uh the amount the amount

00:42:20.160 of these gang members violent gang members that have been allowed to just traipse right across

00:42:27.220 the border how about they were flown to various parts of the country over the border by the biden

00:42:33.580 Harris administration. We found out that was something that was really happening, putting

00:42:39.180 them on planes and delivering them to a neighborhood near you. Isn't that great? Where were the

00:42:45.320 judges trying to stop that? I don't remember a judge trying to stop those flights while

00:42:51.120 they were still in the air, have them turn around and bring them back to whatever crap

00:42:57.400 hole i'll say that uh they came from we don't hear that that didn't happen but when donald trump

00:43:04.360 has to pull some uh 150 180 year old policy out of his uh hat to try to get rid of these guys

00:43:14.300 and deport them asap uh of course of course there's some judge that wants to step in and

00:43:22.560 stop it again because number one it's trump so we got to stop whatever he wants to do regardless of

00:43:30.040 how good it is uh for the country so we got this u.s district judge james uh bozberg james bozberg

00:43:39.720 has decided that he would stop this he uh ordered the trump administration to immediately halt

00:43:46.640 efforts to remove those venezuelan migrants until he has more time to consider whether trump's use

00:43:51.860 of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal.

00:43:55.180 And he wanted the planes that were already boarding

00:43:59.100 and some that were already in the air

00:44:01.820 to stop, turn around, let them back off

00:44:06.340 of these planes on American soil.

00:44:10.180 That's a judge doing, working in our best interest?

00:44:15.640 I don't think so.

00:44:19.040 And neither did the Trump administration

00:44:21.260 or the National Security Advisors, they decided, go screw.

00:44:27.660 We are continuing those flights.

00:44:29.680 They flew a couple of hundred, almost 300 just hardened, terrible, awful gang leaders

00:44:40.960 and gang members back to Venezuela, where I saw films of them getting off the plane.

00:44:46.980 Ooh, it didn't look like they were getting a hero's welcome coming home.

00:44:51.780 That is for sure.

00:44:53.200 They were getting off these planes immediately into the hands of police,

00:44:59.440 some type of law enforcement, maybe military down in Venezuela.

00:45:03.540 And, you know, they look worse than Con Air.

00:45:07.160 And that looked pretty bad for those guys.

00:45:10.500 So these judges need to be held accountable.

00:45:14.940 And right before I went on air here tonight, I did hear that there is another judge that has started at least the process to get Judge Bozberg impeached, have him removed.

00:45:27.440 This is what would you what would you call this?

00:45:29.620 Maybe comfort to the enemy.

00:45:31.800 This Alien Enemies Act years ago, it was for a foreign invasion.

00:45:36.300 if a foreign army let's say is is invading you your country uh you could take special actions

00:45:45.380 to to remove them and i guess semantics seems to be a problem with this judge

00:45:53.960 he wants to know what the definition of invaders is and an army um well as i see it you got these

00:46:05.020 guys, what are they from?

00:46:07.520 I love the name of their

00:46:09.480 gang.

00:46:11.320 Oh, Tren de

00:46:13.380 Aragua.

00:46:16.240 Tren de Aragua.

00:46:18.240 I am Tren de Aragua.

00:46:20.180 We must deport them in

00:46:21.540 Cordobas with rich

00:46:23.820 Corinthian leather.

00:46:25.680 What a great name they have,

00:46:27.660 but they're horrible, horrible,

00:46:29.340 horrible people.

00:46:31.460 And Trump's trying to send

00:46:33.580 them back and what do we get we get a judge saying nope they got to stay until i figure out

00:46:39.520 what an invasion is how about this an invasion is a group of people coming that have some type

00:46:46.580 of solidarity with each other uh over your borders without your permission and murdering

00:46:54.660 your citizens that sure sounds like an invasion to me that sounds like something i would classify

00:47:00.940 as uh as an invasion but again we get judges like this who don't know what the hell they're doing

00:47:08.580 and they need to be thrown out let's get rid of them throw them out throw them out damn you

00:47:13.880 we'll be right back in moments

00:47:30.940 This is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:47:34.140 Whipping out the First Amendment and holstering the Second.

00:47:37.580 And again, we're asking, when do you cross the line?

00:47:47.340 When do we cross the line?

00:47:50.640 My God, I've been relatively good.

00:47:53.980 I still manage to get myself in trouble.

00:47:58.180 But I have been relatively good.

00:48:00.940 Anthony Cumia's show.

00:48:05.240 Welcome back.

00:48:09.080 The boy, the left sure likes violence, don't they?

00:48:16.420 For talking about how understanding and sympathetic they are.

00:48:21.780 Violence at the drop of a blue wig.

00:48:26.560 They are violent, violent people.

00:48:28.360 And once again, they prove it with what's going on with Tesla and Elon Musk.

00:48:35.280 The Teslas are being destroyed out there in dealerships.

00:48:40.440 Drivers are having their cars vandalized.

00:48:45.320 People are scraping swastikas into them and cutting the tires.

00:48:51.200 It's ridiculous.

00:48:52.760 Again, they're so lovely.

00:48:54.780 They're such peaceful, understanding, educated people.

00:49:00.520 Anytime you see people getting physical and really emotional and angry during a political debate, 99% of the time it's the person on the left.

00:49:15.900 They don't know how to react when they don't have any facts.

00:49:21.040 They have pure emotion.

00:49:22.460 That's it. They could sit and ramble on to each other about their politics because it's all based on emotion.

00:49:30.500 How does that make you feel? Ugh. Shut it.

00:49:35.920 Facts. You hit them with facts that are irrefutable, concrete, mathematical, and they just can't take it.

00:49:44.560 They lose their minds. They start hitting, throwing things, and lighting things on fire.

00:49:49.340 that's what we've gotten from the um unbelievable great peaceful left

00:49:56.780 the latest thing are uh the the tesla facilities a lot of dealerships factories places that store

00:50:05.360 teslas uh have been broken into and they've they're lighting them on fire they are burning

00:50:12.600 down this is arson this is i don't think anybody uh could argue that this is a a obviously a crime

00:50:19.200 the crime of arson uh arson is a very dangerous crime too because you never know when someone's

00:50:25.800 gonna get killed doing it you hear about people that just i was just trying to burn the house

00:50:31.180 down for the insurance money oh there's a homeless guy living in there welcome to murder welcome to

00:50:36.440 your murder rap sir so arson is uh oh boy that's tricky that could escalate pretty quick uh but

00:50:42.960 again this is all emotional based uh morons so they don't even look at a bigger picture or or

00:50:49.420 look two feet in front of their face to to maybe uh think about the consequences that might happen

00:50:57.200 if you decide to torture place but again that's just like them they're they're very stupid people

00:51:02.800 they profess to be so educated we are college educated and and the the people on the right

00:51:09.540 blue collar workers didn't go to college some of them didn't even finish high school

00:51:14.380 and then when they're actually in an argument or discussion with each other uh they run away

00:51:20.780 because they're incapable of having an intelligent uh debate about a topic so the latest thing these

00:51:27.540 tesla things and msnbc of course of course the liberal left-wing propaganda machine

00:51:35.180 uh they they were talking about this and and how how much do you have to twist and pervert

00:51:45.040 the truth to have it fill your agenda well you listen to this and see where this dummy goes

00:51:52.640 when she tries to say that this obvious vandalism and criminal arson is nothing more than a protest

00:52:01.080 Listen to this.

00:52:02.200 And then you also overnight have this post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal.

00:52:08.300 He said today he would label violence against dealerships domestic terrorism.

00:52:12.520 Now, you know, I am judicious in how I play this sound, but I think you need to hear it from him.

00:52:20.180 Mr. President, he talks about some of the violence that's been going on around the country at dealerships.

00:52:25.400 Some say they should be labeled domestic terrorists.

00:52:28.420 I will do that. I'll do it.

00:52:29.640 I'm going to stop him. We catch anybody doing it because they're harming a great American company.

00:52:35.320 Let me tell you, you do it to Tesla and you do it to any company.

00:52:39.960 We're going to catch you and you're going to you're going to go through hell.

00:52:43.340 So just to be clear, you protest a private company.

00:52:46.800 You are labeled by this administration a domestic terrorist.

00:52:51.940 What? So let me get this clear.

00:52:55.440 she just listened to the president say that violence against tesla or any company he didn't

00:53:03.580 even single out just tesla any company and and that makes perfect sense if you have a political

00:53:11.140 agenda and and you want people to believe in it adhere to it whatever and you use violence

00:53:20.980 and intimidation

00:53:23.320 by burning down

00:53:27.320 businesses

00:53:28.320 that is domestic terror

00:53:31.180 that is domestic terror

00:53:32.880 you're terrorizing people

00:53:35.400 until they believe

00:53:37.160 how you believe

00:53:38.300 so I don't know what

00:53:40.660 they think this is

00:53:42.480 this lady at MSNBC

00:53:45.740 wants to call it a protest

00:53:47.620 she doesn't add in

00:53:49.320 the violence part

00:53:50.640 and the arson part, the destruction and vandalism, none of that.

00:53:56.220 She heard Donald Trump say that, and between her ears,

00:54:02.320 through her cashew-sized brain in her head,

00:54:08.280 that's probably working overtime just to keep her heart beating

00:54:11.340 and her lungs breathing, right to her dumb mouth,

00:54:16.100 she she says that if you protest you will be labeled a terrorist and you will pay

00:54:24.720 uh the price uh i don't know what they think do they think we don't hear them do they think we

00:54:33.560 didn't just hear what trump said do they think we're stupid enough to believe that that destruction

00:54:39.500 is protest we saw this during the george floyd debacle when when we watched uh uh towns

00:54:48.480 and businesses go up in flames and the same media was trying to say that that was fine

00:54:56.460 that was good yeah the the the there wasn't violence they're protesting we see this with

00:55:06.280 our own eyes we hear it with our ears and they continue to lie right to us because i guess they're

00:55:12.340 just playing a numbers game i guess with 300 and some odd million people in this country they figure

00:55:18.120 they'll get through to enough of them that they can continue pushing that agenda and lying to the

00:55:24.680 american people but again let me reiterate the popularity and faith in the media ain't what it

00:55:34.000 used to be folks the media used to have uh this thing it was called journalistic integrity yes

00:55:43.020 kids i swear and and what this was was the currency of a reporter a reporter can't just

00:55:52.740 say to you you don't know these people personally they can't just say to you hey i'm a reporter

00:55:58.820 Trust everything I say.

00:56:00.800 And then you go, okay.

00:56:03.020 It doesn't work that way.

00:56:05.080 So their currency is integrity, journalistic integrity.

00:56:12.920 And the way they earn that is by not lying to the people.

00:56:18.940 You have a journalist.

00:56:19.920 He's on the news.

00:56:20.880 You watch him every night.

00:56:22.500 And a week, two weeks go by,

00:56:24.940 and you've heard all the stories he's told you

00:56:27.680 over the course of the couple of weeks.

00:56:29.240 And you think back and go, boy, those stories really did come to fruition.

00:56:34.280 They played out like he said, and that guy was involved in this.

00:56:39.980 And you start getting an understanding like this guy seems to know what he's talking about.

00:56:45.580 He seems to have done his work, his footwork, talked to the right people,

00:56:49.280 and he's conveying that to us.

00:56:51.300 I will give him credit for having journalistic integrity.

00:56:57.680 yeah walter cronkite back in the day by now feel the vietnam war cannot be made as a stalemate

00:57:05.760 uh he had journalistic integrity he had an agenda i'm not you know completely blind but uh you know

00:57:14.840 now now these people aren't even journalists they don't want to they're not allowed to search out

00:57:24.720 certain stories and look into uh certain stories their bosses tell them no yet they still sit there

00:57:31.940 calling themselves journalists it's disgusting disgusting uh but that's you know that's the

00:57:40.040 world we live in and they still do it like like we're supposed to believe them i believed uh the

00:57:45.780 news when i was a kid first of all you barely watched it when you're a kid but as a younger

00:57:50.660 adult and uh you know in my teens when i started kind of getting an interest on what was going on

00:57:55.560 in the world i'd watch and and pretty faithfully believe uh what i was being told now i i can't

00:58:05.200 even look at people that believe them and not think they're idiots like i think the news people

00:58:10.160 are idiots they're blatant liars they're puppets and then if you happen to to watch it and believe

00:58:16.280 it i can't have any respect for you why would you why would you buy into that they've only proven

00:58:23.120 themselves to be uh liars just liars i i remember the uh news sometimes the anchor remember the the

00:58:32.020 fun local news guys i don't even know where they went the anchor and the sports guy the co-anchor

00:58:39.140 the weather girl and they'd all be like a team a news team and and their voiceover guy would be

00:58:46.820 a news team you can trust and i started thinking like why who's telling me i can trust you oh you

00:58:57.080 you're telling me i can trust you that was the first thing i started really thinking like huh

00:59:03.540 why do I believe I can trust you

00:59:06.500 when you're the only one telling me

00:59:08.060 that I can trust you

00:59:10.240 so

00:59:11.460 it is good to see a lot of people

00:59:14.140 waking up to that

00:59:16.140 that nonsense

00:59:17.800 anyway oh my god

00:59:20.280 we will return in moments

01:00:33.300 Welcome back.

01:00:35.340 Anthony Cumia Show.

01:00:37.180 Thank you for hanging out with us

01:00:39.120 this Sunday evening.

01:00:41.460 A story that's kind of related a little bit to the one we were just talking about because it involves Tesla.

01:00:47.300 The robo taxis coming up supposedly in June, starting out in Austin and then branching out probably into California somewhere.

01:00:56.760 But this is another one of Elon's babies.

01:01:01.700 People say I glaze Elon a lot, which is I love that term is so funny to me now.

01:01:07.320 What are you glazing, Elon?

01:01:09.560 Like, no, not glazing, Elon, thank you.

01:01:12.200 I just appreciate somebody that thinks out of the box

01:01:16.020 that has had dreams of what the future should look like

01:01:20.360 and then actually pursues them, does something about it,

01:01:25.000 tries to make these things that we all dreamt would have happened already.

01:01:30.480 Year 2000, a lot of the stuff we're just seeing coming out now technology-wise

01:01:36.080 and through a lot of innovations that SpaceX and Tesla have brought to the forefront.

01:01:43.260 Those are things we thought we were going to get in the year 2000,

01:01:46.400 the mystical, futuristic year 2000.

01:01:49.240 Holy moly, were we wrong.

01:01:52.120 But Elon is that guy.

01:01:53.820 So I don't even care if you don't like his politics.

01:01:56.940 And again, pure emotion.

01:01:59.300 These dummies, these nose rings and blue hair and whiny crybaby beta men, they can't get past their emotions to see what this guy has been up to for a while.

01:02:16.240 You know, they they don't see the Starlink satellites that are delivering high speed Internet to everywhere.

01:02:26.160 Well, everywhere where, Anthony on Earth and then probably Mars at some point, probably the moon first.

01:02:33.140 But I get a high speed Internet on the moon.

01:02:37.400 They're just up there like streaming.

01:02:40.200 That's what the moon needs.

01:02:41.620 Podcasters.

01:02:42.860 But it's he's doing amazing things.

01:02:45.720 SpaceX. You're kidding me. You can't see the difference between the decades of NASA and the couple of decades of SpaceX and the achievements that have happened at SpaceX under Elon Musk.

01:03:01.460 just yesterday they launched another ship to uh go to the space station and pick up the two

01:03:09.820 poor bastards that are stuck up there because boeing with their dei program built a space capsule

01:03:17.480 they took these two sorry bastards up there and then they went yeah something's wrong with the

01:03:24.580 ship we got to bring it down without you's in it all right when do we get home no clue

01:03:30.580 And then Elon goes, hey, I've been taking ships back and forth

01:03:35.000 up to that station for a while.

01:03:36.480 You want a ride?

01:03:37.540 I'll give you a ride.

01:03:39.260 That's futuristic stuff.

01:03:41.560 When you think like, wait, a guy could just send a ship up there

01:03:45.640 and get the people that are stuck?

01:03:47.060 That wasn't even in movies.

01:03:49.500 In movies, if you were stuck up there, you were stuck.

01:03:52.240 Now they're just sending out, I'll send a ship for you.

01:03:54.780 We'll come and get you.

01:03:55.860 So they sent one up.

01:03:57.040 It just docked last night, early, early this morning, I guess.

01:04:01.340 And they let off four people.

01:04:04.020 They're bringing back these two astronauts.

01:04:06.140 And it's amazing.

01:04:08.480 It's very futuristic, which is, again, what we thought we'd be living in the year 2000.

01:04:16.180 But this is the robo-taxi thing.

01:04:19.260 And, look, I've seen some of these other cars down there in Austin.

01:04:23.520 they they have like a lot of spinning sensors on the roof and cameras all over them and it's kind

01:04:30.380 of unnerving to get in in these things uh and and it takes you within austin you know you're not

01:04:38.140 gonna have it take you back to la from austin but who knows what the the elon musk future might

01:04:45.880 bring but he's got these uh cabs and the difference is these have no steering wheels

01:04:53.040 and no pedals they they they don't have uh any controls for you to for you to use which is kind

01:05:04.540 of scary if you think about it but i don't know if if it works uh i guess that's that's what you

01:05:14.480 you hope for the the big thing i have here's my big uh take on this deweez and no license

01:05:21.140 if you have one of these cars because they're going to be available to the general public

01:05:26.060 they're they're you could buy one of these and then uh have it used as an uber you know how you

01:05:33.280 would go out and drive your uber you'll send your car out to work as an uber and just it'll drive

01:05:39.340 people places and then it comes home at night and that is something uh but what about diwis

01:05:47.680 can you sit in this car and be drunk and if the car gets pulled over will you get a diwi

01:05:57.880 i know you can in a regular tesla because it has a steering wheel and pedals and you

01:06:03.780 are supposed to be able to take control of that vehicle

01:06:07.680 if it can't do it autonomously.

01:06:10.940 But this poses an interesting question.

01:06:13.600 What if you just don't have a license,

01:06:15.140 but you have some money, you buy one of these,

01:06:17.360 and now this car is taking you everywhere,

01:06:19.440 and you have no responsibility to the state or the city

01:06:23.600 to be licensed, and you could drink and be drunk

01:06:26.760 because I'm not driving this thing.

01:06:28.080 I can't drive this thing.

01:06:29.580 It doesn't have the controls.

01:06:31.440 So legally, this brings up a really interesting kind of conundrum that's going on.

01:06:40.440 So it'll be interesting to see.

01:06:42.880 Technology laws have a hard time catching up with technology.

01:06:46.100 A lot of times there's this weird gray zone of time that goes by before the law catches up with technology.

01:06:54.160 And that should be pretty interesting.

01:06:56.900 because if i was a young man and i enjoyed drinking which i did when i was a young man

01:07:03.340 and i would go out with my friends driving you know your friends were all drunk too they didn't

01:07:08.760 want to be the designated driver so you played police pac-man you tried to get home you you

01:07:14.120 you know you'd look out the bar and go that looks clear you're trying to drive straight you're trying

01:07:19.060 to drive the speed limit but uh you know it was kind of tough i would buy one of these and then

01:07:26.880 And you just go out with your friends, hammered, and the car drives you home.

01:07:31.120 You get pulled over.

01:07:32.920 Hey, deal with my car.

01:07:34.360 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:07:35.680 I'm hammered.

01:07:37.060 I don't need to talk to you.

01:07:41.700 Interesting concept.

01:07:42.700 We'll see what legally happens over the course of time.

01:07:48.000 We'll be back in a couple of minutes.

01:07:49.480 Don't go anywhere.

01:07:50.200 Anthony Cumia show.

01:07:56.880 it's the anthony kumia show they were doing what they were paid to do shock

01:08:11.960 yes shocking i was a teenage shock jock i was much older than that

01:08:26.880 Anthony, call me a show.

01:08:29.320 This could be my favorite story of the day because I kind of agree with it.

01:08:35.240 And it has to do with Lady Liberty, the old lady in the harbor, the Statue of Liberty.

01:08:43.000 Apparently, there is a guy over there in France.

01:08:47.760 He is a member of the European Parliament.

01:08:50.540 His name is Raphael Glucksmann.

01:08:52.880 Raphael Glucksmann

01:08:55.320 from the French

01:08:57.420 Parliament and he

01:08:59.600 he wants the

01:09:01.520 Statue of Liberty back

01:09:02.620 yes he says

01:09:05.460 France should take it back

01:09:07.840 because

01:09:09.080 I don't know

01:09:10.680 we're not worthy of it anymore

01:09:13.540 I guess is what he's saying

01:09:15.520 here's what old

01:09:16.560 Raphael

01:09:17.960 we want the Statue of

01:09:21.360 Oh, the French.

01:09:25.800 Oh, the nuts on these guys.

01:09:31.280 The French bailed out time and time again.

01:09:35.780 And then when everything's all hunky-dory,

01:09:38.800 they decide that they're now big men on campus

01:09:41.960 and can start, you know, pushing people around.

01:09:45.940 We never forget the French.

01:09:47.680 We'll never forget.

01:09:49.660 So here's what he says.

01:09:51.080 He goes, we are going to say to Americans who have chosen to side with tyrants, to the Americans who fired Lisa Chels for demanding scientific freedom, give us back the Statue of Liberty, he told Shearing supporters.

01:10:11.060 we gave it to you as a gift

01:10:14.080 but apparently

01:10:15.280 you despise it

01:10:17.360 so it will be just fine

01:10:20.140 here at home

01:10:21.860 ah

01:10:23.240 we amore

01:10:25.460 the statue of, I don't speak much

01:10:27.720 I just do the accent like in movies

01:10:29.600 French people, German people

01:10:31.820 in old American movies, they don't speak

01:10:33.700 the language, all you need is an accent

01:10:35.600 and they know exactly what it is

01:10:37.560 what are you doing here

01:10:40.140 Ah, it's a German guy.

01:10:42.500 I love it.

01:10:44.500 Well, Raphael Glucksman,

01:10:48.320 I, Anthony Cumia, wholeheartedly agree with your demands.

01:10:54.200 If it were up to me, it would be strapped to a tanker right now

01:11:00.360 heading eastward toward France.

01:11:05.880 Because I'll tell you one thing,

01:11:08.480 we've had it with the Statue of Liberty

01:11:11.320 had it

01:11:12.760 maybe it was a good idea when they first gave it to us

01:11:16.200 and I'm saying maybe

01:11:17.040 because even then it seemed like there were some ulterior motives there

01:11:20.740 that I don't quite agree with

01:11:22.560 but this thing has been a burden to this country

01:11:25.740 how the hell

01:11:27.700 did the shining light of freedom

01:11:30.840 turn into a beacon

01:11:33.400 welcoming every piece of garbage

01:11:37.180 from every third world crap hole

01:11:40.740 to just come here like it's an invitation.

01:11:44.940 Thanks, France.

01:11:47.740 Imagine giving someone a gift

01:11:49.520 and it's a sign put on their lawn

01:11:52.580 that just says,

01:11:54.140 hey, if you don't have any place to live,

01:11:55.780 just come into this house.

01:11:57.520 And you leave the door open

01:11:59.060 and you just put it there and go,

01:12:00.100 hey, I gave you a gift.

01:12:01.580 Oh, what is it?

01:12:02.320 It's the sign out front.

01:12:04.000 It's telling everybody

01:12:05.280 that no matter how terrible of a person they are,

01:12:09.060 they have full reign to just walk into your house

01:12:12.300 and grab a bed, maybe your daughter, whatevs.

01:12:17.240 Hell of a gift there, France.

01:12:20.580 And then in, I guess, early 1900s, 1901,

01:12:25.100 some broad decided to write something they put on the plaque

01:12:28.860 that doubles down on the whole,

01:12:32.080 Well, hey, we'll take every piece of garbage that you want to send us.

01:12:37.880 And since then, it's just been this invitation to some of the worst people ever.

01:12:47.800 So, yeah, France, you want it back, take it.

01:12:51.400 And then LBJ, and we know what kind of trouble he made when he was president,

01:12:55.680 He decides to combine Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island, which I'm not even sure was called Liberty Island at the time, with Ellis Island to make it like a thing so that everyone will just think, oh, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

01:13:14.080 Again, joining the whole immigration thing with the statue that was just supposed to say, hey, this place is awesome.

01:13:20.700 It's America and people came here.

01:13:22.980 They ran away from oppression.

01:13:24.460 They built this nation. That's amazing.

01:13:27.760 Not that our door is open to any piece of crap that wants to walk in.

01:13:33.600 So again, Raphael, France, please unburden us from this disaster that you put on our shores.

01:13:44.500 And they put it right where all the immigrant boats came into New York so everyone could see it.

01:13:51.120 it all just had this motive

01:13:54.300 like

01:13:55.920 some invitation

01:13:57.460 no

01:13:58.860 we don't want you

01:14:00.800 I think Archie Bunker

01:14:04.420 said it best back on

01:14:06.260 All in the Family another just

01:14:08.320 amazing

01:14:09.240 program from back then

01:14:12.320 obviously the character

01:14:14.260 was great and the stuff he said

01:14:16.360 was so funny and put

01:14:18.360 in such a way that I think

01:14:20.420 norman lear especially and the writers probably and carol o'connor especially because he was crazy

01:14:25.220 liberal i'm sure he thought that when people saw archie bunker they were going to be so disgusted

01:14:31.940 and offended by this character that uh you know meathead and some of his liberal friends would

01:14:40.840 just make archie look stupid and and that it would show how bad bigotry is in uh in in the united

01:14:48.940 states and how stupid bigots are meanwhile most people watching were like i love this archie

01:14:55.620 bunker guy because he's right about everything so it kind of backfired but uh thank god we still

01:15:02.660 have it it's still on tv they haven't gotten to the point where they're removing that and uh boy

01:15:07.980 they're just some amazing things this was archie bunker talking about lady liberty and it's just

01:15:14.780 Perfect.

01:15:16.040 In American history lesson, you don't know nothing about Lady Liberty.

01:15:19.740 Standing there in a hop with her torch on high,

01:15:22.620 screaming out to all the nations of the world,

01:15:24.760 send me your poor, your deadbeats, your filthy...

01:15:27.540 And all the nations sent them in here.

01:15:31.380 They come swarming in like ants.

01:15:33.880 Your Spanish piyage from the Caribbean there.

01:15:37.620 Your Japs, your Chinamen, your Crouch and your Heaves,

01:15:40.780 and your Little Spans.

01:15:42.000 come in here

01:15:45.340 and they're all free to live

01:15:47.040 in their own separate sections

01:15:49.140 where they feel safe

01:15:52.380 and they bust your head if you go in there

01:15:54.420 that's what makes

01:15:56.440 America great buddy

01:15:57.560 yes it does

01:16:00.520 that is what makes America

01:16:02.100 great Archie

01:16:03.760 God was that just perfect

01:16:06.300 so if you want your Statue of Liberty

01:16:10.560 back

01:16:11.020 um yeah feel free it's it's uh worn out it's welcome uh with us god that was uh so funny

01:16:21.260 shows back then just a whole nother animal man they could say and do things and to think

01:16:28.380 though they were the producers the writers the actors all hardcore liberal and that just goes

01:16:37.920 to show you what what liberals were back then the difference between liberals back then and

01:16:45.860 liberals now liberals back then wanted you to see this stuff a lot of times it misfired like that

01:16:52.700 where they thought people were going to hate archie and they ended up loving him but they

01:16:57.020 wanted to present that uh they wanted people to see bigots uh they wanted people to see

01:17:05.160 uh things they disagreed with or had arguments with because then they could argue it they could

01:17:12.800 debate it and they could say wow look at that we presented this to you to show you how terrible

01:17:18.400 something is now their goals are just to silence anyone with a dissenting viewpoint on things that

01:17:28.980 they you know are emotionally disturbed about uh you see it all the times that i've been victim to

01:17:34.760 it a few times uh speaking on college campuses it's a joke the fact that you know you need

01:17:42.620 security if you have anything but the furthest of left uh wing ideology you would need security

01:17:49.860 because they will try to stop you if they have to physically harm you or destroy your your gear

01:17:56.820 that you need to speak or your vehicle that you need to get to and from the venue they will do it

01:18:02.300 because they want to silence you.

01:18:07.120 I've said it a few times, the freedom of speech thing,

01:18:10.000 you know, that First Amendment.

01:18:13.380 A lot of people accuse the left of trying to curtail

01:18:17.360 your First Amendment right, your freedom of speech.

01:18:20.600 And that's one thing.

01:18:22.540 But more importantly, they are trying to curtail

01:18:24.800 everyone's freedom to listen,

01:18:26.640 which is a very important part.

01:18:29.320 I could sit here and turn the microphone off and the lights and the camera and everything and say anything I want and no one's hearing it.

01:18:39.840 So how dangerous could I possibly be and how controversial could my ideology and thoughts be?

01:18:47.360 It's only when there's a couple of ears to hear what I'm saying that people might deem it dangerous.

01:18:54.300 So a lot of these a lot of these colleges and a lot of these left wing protesters, when they're trying to silence you, the people that want to hear the person they're trying to silence should be the most angry because they're trying to keep you from hearing something that you might enjoy or agree with or disagree with and want to dish out a lively debate with the person.

01:19:21.480 They would rather just have it not happen at all.

01:19:24.560 No, don't even hear this.

01:19:26.480 Why?

01:19:27.000 Because I don't think it's good for people to hear this.

01:19:29.640 Who are you to say that we shouldn't hear this?

01:19:33.060 Well, I'm someone that knows better because I'm much better educated.

01:19:36.460 I know what's right.

01:19:38.080 I know you're a Nazi.

01:19:39.720 They have no real reason.

01:19:43.960 And years ago, like I just said, with a lot of these shows that were on back in the 70s,

01:19:50.000 uh they were liberals they were liberals that wanted to present this stuff

01:19:54.780 and and it did open up a lot of conversation people were they wanted to uh talk about these

01:20:02.280 things but mostly it was just entertaining which is great you know that's something that i think

01:20:07.720 has been long forgotten left in a a far away wake the uh entertaining part of uh entertainment

01:20:18.720 everything has this agenda to it this underlying oh is this a comedy show yeah yeah it's comedy

01:20:27.280 you like it yeah not really there are some comics you know

01:20:34.100 i know a lot of comics some of them yeah they kind of got infected they kind of got the bug

01:20:44.800 and got infected with wokeness and um now they throw around their weight under the guise of

01:20:52.660 comedy yet it's pretty much the same old uh left-wing agenda i think it has to do with

01:21:02.100 wanting to get a show see i i never uh changed any of my my attitudes my beliefs what i talk about

01:21:12.100 i never really changed that around uh some of these guys though oof you are you you sling a

01:21:19.640 disney contract in front of some people it's amazing what they'll do it's amazing how quickly

01:21:28.220 their whole mindset changes on certain things that they were so passionate about before

01:21:34.580 and then they sign a deal with someone and all of a sudden uh hey they got a new

01:21:40.560 a new attitude as as they say so anyway yeah uh if you want to take the statue of liberty back

01:21:48.940 do we have to trade something you could take it back what the eiffel tower i think it was the

01:21:54.920 same guy eiffel i think he is responsible for the statue of liberty too um and that thing's just

01:22:01.460 kind of a joke let's be real the eiffel tower i never wanted to go to france i've never wanted

01:22:11.140 to go there i don't know what it is growing up as a post-war guy you know 20 years later i was born

01:22:20.080 in like the 60s but uh growing up at that time there were things that you just knew as a kid

01:22:27.320 and i don't even know how you learned them everything made in japan was junk so i remember

01:22:32.620 growing up it was japanese junk and the french were uh cowardly and uh not not really willing

01:22:41.960 to throw down in a fight if something happened uh we just knew this i don't know where we learned

01:22:48.820 it just from our friends and i would gather it was from our fathers our dads probably had quite

01:22:54.720 the opinion about who were called the frogs years ago and uh certain other ethnicities uh that were

01:23:02.780 involved in in the war so those things they made for really funny uh inappropriate jokes that these

01:23:12.320 days you probably couldn't say but uh yeah so it's just weird to think sometimes i know i go off on a

01:23:18.560 tangent here but uh it's weird to think sometimes where you got some of these things from that you

01:23:23.760 just you know polish jokes and you're like oh they're supposed to not be as intelligent as

01:23:30.300 everyone else because it's a joke and uh you know italian i remember hearing jokes about italian

01:23:38.140 women and the punchline was always how hairy they were the arms the legs the punchline was like

01:23:44.900 i think one punchline was i'm not wearing black gloves for some italian joke but uh

01:23:51.060 we as kids didn't put much there wasn't a hate in it or anything it was just kind of fun

01:23:58.240 and like the shows they were fun if they wanted to get a message across fine but at least make

01:24:03.240 it fun i think that all ended with the 80s special episodes of sitcoms where they would you know we

01:24:10.800 all remember different strokes and the wkrp general manager that owned the uh bike store

01:24:17.760 uh that was a a child molestation episode and it was just oh it's tough to watch but it's like why

01:24:25.600 would you do that to a sitcom they just worked it up where more and more sitcoms had those special

01:24:30.560 episodes dealing with you know torn from the the headlines drug use like oh this is going to be one

01:24:38.760 of those episodes where uh the audience doesn't laugh they just go oh oh tom hanks on uh family

01:24:48.100 ties i think it was and he punches alex keaton in the face oh i hated those god did i hate those

01:24:56.680 ah off on a little bit of a tear but uh oh my god yeah so take it back we don't care we don't

01:25:04.820 care about your statue of liberty um how come that wasn't a monument they all wanted to uh tear down

01:25:10.260 when they were tearing down uh confederate monuments or americana or or american traditions

01:25:17.200 and they were taking those to the the forges and foundries to just melt them down what about

01:25:23.360 the statue of liberty i'm sure not not all of us uh agree with the with that doing

01:25:30.580 all right kids uh we will be back in moments don't you go anywhere

01:25:36.940 it's the anthony cummia show

01:26:00.580 Whipping out free speech.

01:26:02.260 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:26:09.640 Yes, indeed.

01:26:11.740 Whipping out.

01:26:12.560 Is that an old O&A reference?

01:26:15.560 I think so.

01:26:17.780 Shock, shock days.

01:26:19.800 Yeah, welcome back.

01:26:20.980 Anthony Cumia Show.

01:26:21.800 Glad you join us this Sunday evening.

01:26:26.720 Very cool of you.

01:26:28.040 And I appreciate the support.

01:26:29.880 a lot of it coming in i'm seeing it all over social media and uh i definitely appreciate it

01:26:35.960 uh tim walsh is still going around why didn't vice president's candidate not even vice presidents

01:26:46.300 vice presidents disappear when their usefulness is done and usually they're not very useful anyway

01:26:52.560 but they they just go away a failed vice presidential candidate why are you still

01:27:00.920 doing anything didn't walter mondale just like disappear after the thrashing reagan

01:27:08.480 bush gave uh him him and carter do what didn't he just disappear why is wall still jumping around

01:27:16.720 like he like it was close oh he almost had him this is what the democrats do you see camilla

01:27:26.560 every so often she'll pop her dumb head up say something incredibly stupid while probably

01:27:32.880 hammered and you go why why why sometimes hillary crawls out from under her rock to say something

01:27:43.000 incredibly stupid aoc she's still in the game but uh this tim waltz guy is just playing by the

01:27:51.760 democrat handbook which is don't acknowledge that no one likes us and we completely dropped the ball

01:28:01.040 during this last election uh they just go out like nothing happened this is the george costanza

01:28:10.020 quit and then go what do i do just go in like you didn't quit uh they they're showing up they're

01:28:17.740 doing news shows they're talking about their policies by the way like people loved them

01:28:24.960 like people loved their policies whatever they were they didn't really get too deep into that

01:28:32.060 one but uh they don't have a second play is is what i i usually say um on this topic is you know

01:28:41.740 the playbook that they have has one play in it and after you use it a couple of times everyone goes

01:28:47.980 oh that's that's what you do they they have not come up with anything to change a single item

01:28:55.560 on their agenda what they want people to think of them you know when you think democrat

01:29:02.120 politician what do you think and it's not good it's not good and they go well how do we change

01:29:08.540 that well by uh bitching about the border and how many uh uh how many people are being deported

01:29:17.300 and uh egg prices well they're going down and so are gas prices um how about climate change

01:29:25.280 No, that didn't work either.

01:29:26.580 They just stick to the same garbage.

01:29:30.540 And it didn't work then.

01:29:32.460 And it ain't going to work now.

01:29:34.020 And what's Wall's gearing up for?

01:29:35.740 A run?

01:29:37.040 Is he going to try for a presidential run in 2028?

01:29:43.420 Hilarious, I must say.

01:29:45.500 Here's a clip of him talking about his failed bid.

01:29:48.840 And and listen to listen to this pompous idiot not taking the slightest bit of responsibility for them losing horribly.

01:30:01.820 Listen to Mr. Tim Walz.

01:30:04.460 But but this issue around health care and the issue around Medicare and the things we're talking about,

01:30:09.140 we've got people now that are exactly like this story, worried about basic human right of health care and decency in their life.

01:30:18.840 And I and I own this.

01:30:23.000 The idea that millions of people stayed home because they didn't think there was any difference between Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and myself on the ticket.

01:30:30.100 They didn't. They didn't think that.

01:30:31.780 And could you acknowledge that?

01:30:34.840 What? So he's trying to say here, if I'm right, that people stayed home and didn't come out and vote for Harris walls.

01:30:46.500 because they just thought there wasn't a difference

01:30:49.700 between Trump and Harris?

01:30:53.100 That's what he's running with?

01:30:55.440 You want to stick with that one, Tim?

01:30:58.080 That's what you're...

01:30:59.260 People knew there was an insane difference

01:31:02.260 between Trump and Harris.

01:31:04.420 And that's why Trump got every swing state

01:31:07.320 and blew you guys out of the water.

01:31:10.660 How does he not see that?

01:31:13.580 He's definitely making a run.

01:31:14.980 he is definitely making a run they stayed home because they just were like oh trump says he

01:31:20.920 wants to close the border day one that's exactly what harris is saying i can't even tell the

01:31:25.540 difference he's an idiot all right let's hear a little more from mr tim walls i think one of the

01:31:32.140 reasons is is that when democrats have been in power we've been timid about passing things that

01:31:37.460 make a difference on their lives and why why do we have citizens that are in this piece of

01:31:47.440 in this situation why are we at that point when we are the richest nation on earth and yet our

01:31:54.160 outcomes are 41st and we spend twice as much as any nation next to us we should demand a redo of

01:32:02.260 this system in a way that makes a difference on that because i think it's very hard that

01:32:06.140 we have to win elections but okay you could you could cut him off now i've had enough i want to

01:32:12.480 apologize to the listeners to have to listen to that idiot again but uh yeah he talks they all

01:32:18.840 talk this game about changing things and he says like we put all these resources into something i

01:32:24.700 assume he's talking about health care and he goes uh and then it turns out the results were 41st

01:32:29.500 yeah why because of corruption because you can't stop stealing money from from the taxpayers

01:32:37.220 and trump is doing that trump and elon are trying to look through these these books and say oh my

01:32:44.640 god you guys are robbing us blind and then this guy and everyone else goes off the people are

01:32:50.880 terrible they're trying to get their hands on your money they're trying to cut this and that

01:32:54.760 it's because of the corruption and because thieves like you people have been in there

01:33:01.060 fleecing the taxpayer forever oh my god he doesn't get it maybe he does and he's just lying but like

01:33:11.280 i said one play in the playbook go on and talk about how awesome you are uh ladies and gentlemen

01:33:17.220 i want to say thank you so much to you for supporting me the staff um that that helped

01:33:23.140 me out with the show tonight and uh i will see you all back here next week sunday at eight until
