00:02:27.260 used to joining other people from not having a show but uh lionel will be joining me and we'll

00:02:35.160 talk about uh oh a multitude of things i'm sure lionel is a very smart guy he's actually gotten

00:02:42.140 me to buy into a few things that i was dead set uh not believing for quite some time maybe we'll

00:02:49.880 talk about a few of those but of course stick around for that in the meantime there's a few

00:02:54.560 things i want to get to obviously there's a three three little things that just pissed me off during

00:03:00.460 the week i like commenting and they don't have to be the biggest story they don't have to be

00:03:04.760 this amazing thing we're like well of course that pissed anthony off it could just be something i

00:03:10.500 was scrolling through or reading and went like oh god oh the nonsense that we have to deal with

00:03:17.820 first i want to talk about um mental institutions they don't really bother me the lack of mental

00:03:26.820 institutions bothers me but um it seemed i remember growing up there was there were mental

00:03:34.940 institutions you were scared to drive by them they had this mystique about them they uh they

00:03:43.160 were a good place once you started getting a little older and you were interested in in girls

00:03:48.020 it was a great place to uh take a girl yes yes zoomers or anyone else gen z-ers or

00:03:57.160 people that don't understand what i could possibly mean by that uh yes you would take

00:04:03.160 your girl to a mental institution and i don't mean to commit her like they probably uh agree

00:04:10.760 with these days they go yeah i could see taking my girlfriend to a mental institution but no it

00:04:16.380 was to sneak around the grounds of a mental institution at night it was scary it was fun

00:04:24.540 adventurous the girl was petrified so she wouldn't leave your side you take a couple of beers

00:04:32.240 maybe some uh other um uh supplemental um psychological things and uh you're having a

00:04:41.860 great time that was a mental institution we didn't want to know what was going on inside

00:04:48.580 but there seemed to be a lot of them and uh the good part about that other than being able to get

00:04:54.840 a scared uh girl uh hanging onto your shirt for dear life was that they were full of mental

00:05:02.580 patients mental patients these were people that well these days are just walking around

00:05:10.080 They would be locked up in a building behind locked doors, barred windows, with a staff of doctors and a few people in white coats with butterfly nets, as I remember.

00:05:26.840 Maybe I'm recalling cartoons.

00:05:29.120 You are a metal case.

00:05:32.280 But I do recall it was a thing.

00:05:34.960 And I remember it with fondness.

00:05:37.080 fondness but these days uh that we don't have them i don't know they've been folded into

00:05:43.760 your basic health care basic hospital i know most hospitals have like oh where is she the fifth floor

00:05:50.060 uh but but they're not mental institutions these were places where i don't know politicians i guess

00:05:59.540 family members they could stick people that weren't fit to walk the streets they were

00:06:08.280 mentally ill to the point where they could not assimilate to civil society and uh it's a thing

00:06:17.820 of the past now it's and boy do we need it now more than ever we need them uh you see

00:06:25.640 what i gotta tell you you scroll on your phone one move of your thumb

00:06:31.580 and you've seen five people that should already have been committed

00:06:36.520 to uh said mental institution but uh they're just out there walking i don't know what happened i

00:06:44.840 guess it was uh i was looking into this a little to see see what happened why don't we see these

00:06:52.240 buildings and and the scary places and know that there's nuts locked up there and it seems that

00:07:00.100 back uh in the the late 70s early 1980 not even 80s just 80 uh there was the mental health systems

00:07:09.240 act of 1980 signed by a president i think we can all say did a bang up job james earl carter

00:07:18.740 was his name going out checking out he's at the the front desk saying i'm done checking out

00:07:27.420 and and wheeling his luggage out of the american hotel and he has to screw something up on the way

00:07:34.140 out um because we have mental institutions he figured this would be a way to get federal funding

00:07:41.620 to the states so the states could have money to run their mental institutions i guess you know

00:07:49.300 carter did a lot of things that i guess seem noble but uh truth be told he screwed up a lot

00:07:55.520 of things and that might not have been bad i don't know because it only lasted 10 months

00:08:01.340 carter's mental health systems act of 1980 only lasted 10 months and then ronnie reagan came in

00:08:08.080 And he was like, yes, we, well, don't need places for these lunatics.

00:08:14.900 I'm, well, stopping the Mental Health Systems Act.

00:08:20.860 And he did.

00:08:22.580 And in the shuffle and all the nonsense,

00:08:26.140 we ended up with no more big, gothic-looking buildings full of nuts.

00:08:33.960 they just open the doors and let them out onto the street

00:08:38.940 so what do what do we do what are we supposed to do round them up uh open these buildings again

00:08:48.900 it seems like an archaic thing like the circus because the the current resolution doesn't seem

00:08:56.380 to be working and that is sit in front of your tv within 10 minutes you'll be inundated with

00:09:02.740 these commercials for psycho drugs and uh if you feel yourself or one of your family member or a

00:09:10.480 co-worker is um is insane uh you might recommend talk to your doctor have you asked your doctor

00:09:19.080 about whatever drug and before you know it you're popping these pills and uh supposedly not crazy

00:09:26.080 anymore well i think the evidence proves that's not quite accurate is it uh there's different

00:09:34.400 levels of course the current mental patient i i think uh are the people um vandalizing teslas

00:09:43.200 the liberal they're still the same liberal uh jerk-offs if i may say that we saw over the course

00:09:51.060 of four years during the um and even during the first trump administration but during the

00:09:56.780 biden years you really saw them come out they did all their little social media videos and they just

00:10:01.280 sound insane the second they they have to be forced to do something they don't want to do

00:10:08.900 which during the biden harris administration they were allowed to do a lot of things they were

00:10:13.980 allowed to guess whatever sexuality they wanted to be they could get any job they wanted no matter

00:10:20.480 how stupid or incompetent they were uh so they really didn't have much to be mad about well now

00:10:27.200 we're seeing they're very mad they're mad at trump and elon musk and doge and they go what do we do

00:10:32.760 i don't understand this because we're we're uh being forced to to do things we don't like doing

00:10:41.460 so how do we react we'll uh turn into junior high school students and uh key cars some of them are

00:10:50.840 hardcore they're blowing them up with the molotov cocktails and shooting into the tesla dealerships

00:10:56.900 bombing them but but these are mental patients don't don't be fooled they're not protesters

00:11:02.680 They're not passionate about their their cause.

00:11:06.800 They are insane people that perhaps should have been treated at some point during their life.

00:11:14.780 So it wouldn't reach this this point where where they're just roaming around, keying cars, vandalizing, yelling at people, taking their clothes off at airports, yelling on airplanes.

00:11:28.000 This is what this is what we're seeing.

00:11:30.300 We didn't used to see this when those beautiful brick buildings with gargoyles hanging off the ledges and big metal bars.

00:11:43.920 Remember big metal bars on the windows and walk around and go, that's where the mental patients are.

00:11:51.660 well maybe maybe someday we'll get back to uh to putting them where they they truly belong

00:12:01.620 um yeah we'll uh we'll be back in moments don't go anywhere i i believe uh the clown of the week

00:12:09.340 we have that a clown of the week and it's uh one that you it won't surprise anybody

00:12:16.720 Be right back.

00:12:18.000 Stick around.

00:12:19.080 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket

00:12:22.680 takes you to more than just your destination.

00:12:25.520 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:12:29.260 and the realization that neither of you is actually good with directions.

00:12:34.860 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

00:12:39.700 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:12:44.980 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

00:12:47.020 When you travel, travel well

00:12:49.200 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors

00:12:52.600 making sure my car doesn't get stolen

00:12:54.560 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars

00:12:58.180 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park

00:13:01.700 We're making every corner of Ontario safer

00:13:04.340 to make all of Ontario safer

00:13:06.220 That's how we protect Ontario

00:13:08.520 For all of us

00:13:09.840 Learn how at Ontario.ca

00:13:12.340 slash SaferOntario, paid for by the government of Ontario.

00:13:20.100 I have to come in here full of energy.

00:13:23.860 As my dad used to say, full of piss and vinegar.

00:13:26.920 That was a saying back in the old days.

00:13:30.120 I don't know what it means.

00:13:31.900 I kind of knew what he meant by it, but who knows what it means.

00:13:35.780 My old man, he was crazy.

00:13:37.160 yeah there there is a segment i like to do here but it's so hard to choose who should be dubbed

00:13:47.380 clown of the week because these days there are so many contenders for that top spot but i think we

00:13:57.160 found one this week let's get into clown of the week the anthony cumia show presents the clown

00:14:05.020 Oh yeah, you know, it's usually somebody, they're very liberal in their ideology.

00:14:16.200 I guess that used to mean something else.

00:14:19.940 Usually very well known, a celebrity.

00:14:22.880 I could have bumped into someone at the supermarket that was quite the clown, but then you people

00:14:27.780 wouldn't really know who that was, and it might not really hit the nerve I wanted to

00:14:31.620 hit.

00:14:31.860 so famous a liberal and um douchey can i say douchey because uh oh boy this guy has made a

00:14:44.360 few good movies that i have sat down and enjoyed still watch a couple of them see if you can figure

00:14:50.400 it out he was in a movie called con air he was also uh in some of those early uh brat pack movies

00:15:01.320 has a sister in the business name a joan well ladies and gentlemen john cusack

00:15:09.860 is this week's uh clown of the week he really goes out on a limb here he really is brave and

00:15:17.720 courageous by bad-mouthing donald trump and elon musk i know i know the courage it takes

00:15:25.820 in 2025 to berate these two uh you really gotta probably have a very thick skin because you know

00:15:35.680 the abuse is just going to come piling at you uh here's john cusack a little bit of him talking

00:15:42.000 about trump and elon and just rambling as most of these hollywood liberal idiots clowns uh quite

00:15:50.680 frankly will. John? He said, you know, Musk is kind of this arch villain of late stage capitalism,

00:15:57.720 and he seems like this clown and this buffoon. But like Alex said, you know, this is a man who

00:16:03.240 made a Sigh Heil Nazi salute, not only in public, but at a presidential victory party.

00:16:12.680 It's good to remember that these are unprecedented times of mass criminality

00:16:18.460 going on in the United States right now. And that like Trump, Musk is a pathological liar.

00:16:26.060 He's a criminal. He's a sociopath and a ghoul. And I mean those terms very precisely because

00:16:34.820 who else would use his own child as a sympathy prop while literally taking starving aid away

00:16:42.500 from people all over the world? He's literally killing people. People are going to die because

00:16:47.560 of this madness all right all right he's a man who threw 80 000 people we could cut it off right

00:16:52.900 there i think i think we could cut it off right there he earned clown with just those statements

00:16:58.780 all the things he said a ghoul a criminal a pathological liar a villain they would love

00:17:06.900 for for elon musk to be an actual villain they're so stuck in their hollywood mentality

00:17:14.240 of roles and actors and characters and writers

00:17:18.140 that write the dialogue and the story

00:17:21.060 and directors that tell them where to stand,

00:17:24.420 that they don't understand that real people actually exist.

00:17:29.500 And it's not the real people, because they're not real,

00:17:32.440 that hang out and chit-chat with the likes of John Cusack.

00:17:36.980 Elon Musk, you know, you can hate Elon,

00:17:40.480 but you'd be hard-pressed to say he's detrimental.

00:17:44.240 to the world to america the things he's doing the things he's doing with technology um yeah

00:17:54.020 i i don't know i i think you're you'd be very hard pressed to say he's not uh an amazing man

00:18:03.300 in the the same vein as uh nikola tesla uh steve jobs you know these people that have changed

00:18:13.180 the whole complexion of the planet by having an idea having a goal and and and actually

00:18:21.720 trying to make it come true and then you got john cusack his head filled with words other people

00:18:30.900 wrote for him his body motions uh being told to him by directors where to stand what to do

00:18:39.540 and he has the balls to talk about someone like Elon

00:18:45.440 that's actually making the world better.

00:18:49.300 Try to fault putting up satellites

00:18:52.120 so that the far corners of the earth can have high-speed internet

00:18:56.400 no matter where you are.

00:18:57.620 Amazon rainforest, here you go.

00:19:00.080 Now, I don't know what they're using it for.

00:19:01.740 Probably smut.

00:19:04.080 But, you know, to come out and say these things about Elon,

00:19:09.000 and just making these accusations a liar what is what has he lied about he he found corruption he

00:19:17.680 found money that was being wasted american taxpayer money wasted at the tune of hundreds

00:19:24.100 of billions of dollars and probably trillions by the time he's done so uh the idea that that

00:19:32.640 john cusack and company can just crap on this guy for what politically motivated that's what it is

00:19:43.000 he's got to get more movie jobs he's got to hang out with his elite hollywood friends

00:19:48.000 he can't possibly i believe he i think he believes this stuff i think there are certain

00:19:53.520 hollywood celebrities that uh believe the the complete opposite they love what trump and musk

00:19:59.520 doing but they know they have to work and then there's other ones that speak their mind and they

00:20:04.340 never work again not that i thought scott baio was getting into the next oscar winner but you know

00:20:10.380 at least he speaks his mind uh so yeah john cusack let's chalk him up to um clown uh clown of the

00:20:20.140 week so many could have been could have been appointed clown of the week but uh john cusack

00:20:26.120 makes it hey stick around we're gonna have lionel with us next on uh the anthony cumia show three

00:20:32.560 hours worth thank you keep them separated the anthony cumia show the big fat bloated three

00:20:42.880 hour needs ozempic obese version of the anthony cumia show uh ladies and gentlemen i'm not gonna

00:21:04.500 nation you might know him as a radio personality he was uh on these very airwaves before i was

00:21:11.660 and a prosecuting attorney oh boy oh boy ladies and gentlemen uh the great lionel lionel how are

00:21:20.040 you my friend anthony on behalf of a grateful nation thank you not for what you do but for

00:21:25.600 what you appear to do and i mean that sincerely from the heart brother i only take it as sincerely

00:21:31.120 and from the heart uh my good friend lionel let's talk about how you take it if the word on the

00:21:37.000 street is correct but you know it's a family show it is we're back uh on on fcc regulated airwaves

00:21:44.820 And you, by the way, seamlessly, seamlessly have not used any of this coprolalic concupiscent doggerel.

00:21:55.800 I think they just dumped out of that, Lionel.

00:21:57.980 I think our guys thought they were curses.

00:22:00.080 Yes.

00:22:00.960 And you have been accused of being crappulous, which is also a nice way of saying drunk.

00:22:06.320 But do you mind?

00:22:07.960 I do not want to take over anything.

00:22:10.040 What you said about mental illness and the institutions, dear God, tonight I have a video dropping on that very subject, sir.

00:22:20.860 You do.

00:22:21.600 And you have, you are after my heart regarding this because I know a little bit about that, having been in the criminal justice system.

00:22:30.240 Oh, I thought you were going to say having been committed to a mental institution.

00:22:34.020 Well, no, no, no, just because, you know, listen, but you are so, you are so correct.

00:22:39.060 And when you say that, you, of course, will come across as some kind of a right wing, heartless, bested, you cold.

00:22:46.120 Which is what I am, Lionel.

00:22:48.180 But I don't want to come across as that.

00:22:50.140 I didn't say you weren't.

00:22:52.100 Right.

00:22:53.300 But, you know, years ago in the 1950s, somebody had this idea that said, let's deinstitutionalize mental illness.

00:23:02.040 Excuse me, mental facilities, psych wards, because they're horrible.

00:23:07.480 because people are treated like, and it's true.

00:23:10.760 It was.

00:23:11.560 There was the Willowbrook, and did you know the word bedlam that we use?

00:23:17.320 Like there's bedlam comes from the.

00:23:19.540 Like pandemonium.

00:23:20.740 Correct.

00:23:22.200 Very good.

00:23:22.980 Cumia for the say.

00:23:24.580 Thank you.

00:23:25.280 The hospital in London was Bethlehem, St. Bethlehem or something,

00:23:31.020 and they in that cockney kind of a Dick Van Dyke bad cockney would say bedlam,

00:23:36.320 And hence the name for that.

00:23:38.960 So in the 1950s, they said, let's deinstitutionalize.

00:23:42.320 And then John Kennedy said, we're going to give you folks all kinds of money.

00:23:47.520 And they said, great.

00:23:49.200 So local local governments shut their programs down because they took them off the books.

00:23:55.080 They could spend the money elsewhere.

00:23:57.920 Washington reneged on the deal.

00:23:59.780 And all of these people were just walking around.

00:24:03.220 Abandoned.

00:24:04.220 With less brains than JFK had after that fateful day in November.

00:24:09.200 Wow.

00:24:09.980 It, well, it really has been kind of this buildup over the course of the years.

00:24:16.100 People knew, look, asylums were horrible places.

00:24:19.620 We saw this.

00:24:20.380 We knew about it.

00:24:21.320 But nothing was really done.

00:24:22.720 I kind of blame Geraldo Rivera.

00:24:24.560 He went to Willowbrook Mental Institution back in the 70s and did this expose, which showed just horrific conditions

00:24:32.880 that these people were under but we didn't want that to mean okay release the hounds let them out

00:24:39.940 on the street release the kraken no no we wanted something else that was a little more humane

00:24:45.580 but not having them pushing you onto uh the train tracks on on the subway platform it's funny you

00:24:51.940 say that um now now there's another aspect to this which nobody wants to talk about there are people

00:24:57.400 let me ask you this question if somebody let's say we have a vietnam veteran who was suffering

00:25:02.580 from ptsd the likes of which we can't even explain and during the course of some episode

00:25:09.300 or somebody who is actually psychotic who actually is not here um thinks he's under attack and does

00:25:17.080 something does not recall it much like dare i say mk ultra years ago in the case of perhaps of john

00:25:24.240 lennon and sirhan sirhan and jack ruby but i digress because i don't want to get you too

00:25:30.120 far into that but if somebody did not know what they were doing let's say they were sleepwalking

00:25:35.640 do you think they should be held to do criminal responsibility if they honestly didn't know what

00:25:43.320 they were doing that that has always intrigued me because i've heard these uh these laws that

00:25:51.440 that say that in some cases people are not held responsible for that the problem is lionel and

00:25:57.040 having been in the court system and and and having been insane as a lawyer you would know

00:26:04.720 these then get used by defendants to try to get out of whatever they're doing wrong

00:26:11.600 very rarely wrong on my own show you are wrong sir very rarely very effective let me give you

00:26:21.740 example in the united states we have something called the mcnaughton rule and it's spelled m

00:26:27.800 apostrophe n a g it's like and somehow we got mcnaughton out of that and what it does is it

00:26:35.360 basically means that if you are dispossessed of the ability to appreciate the difference between

00:26:42.500 right and wrong you are theoretically ngri not guilty by reason of insanity you are acquitted

00:26:49.680 You go to the funny forum, and then you're released once you work called Cured.

00:26:53.920 Now, Anthony Cumia, let's say you're standing on a subway platform, and you are having a psychotic episode, and you hear in your voice, somebody says, push her.

00:27:02.900 And you say, I don't.

00:27:04.320 I don't want to.

00:27:05.460 Push her.

00:27:06.140 Push her, you miserable scum.

00:27:08.480 And you do.

00:27:10.440 Now, you knew right for wrong, but you said, but I was told to do it.

00:27:14.080 The McNaughton rule doesn't apply.

00:27:15.620 It doesn't make any sense.

00:27:16.560 Now, when you see this poor woman ground to death under the wheels of the 6th train, you don't give a rat's ass about this, guys, whether he appreciated it.

00:27:28.780 You remember the case of John Hinckley?

00:27:31.140 Oh, of course. Yeah, yeah.

00:27:32.460 John Hinckley, who, of course, those individuals in the city of New York still refer to David Hinckley, who was the radio writer for the Daily News.

00:27:42.700 And this poor guy, David Hinckley, has always been associated with killing or trying to kill President Reagan.

00:27:49.760 We also get him mixed up with Mark David Chapman, who killed John Lennon.

00:27:56.100 So it's very difficult.

00:27:57.780 A lot of those.

00:27:58.280 I hate those three name assassins.

00:27:59.980 You must have Ted Bundy, only guy to get away with it.

00:28:04.200 Just John Wayne Gacy, Lee Harvey Oswald.

00:28:09.260 Lee Harvey Oswald.

00:28:10.200 But what happened in the case of John Hinckley, by the way, his, listen to this.

00:28:15.080 Remember that George Herbert Walker Bush, I believe, was breakfasting with one of his relatives prior to that assassination attempt.

00:28:24.680 But I digress.

00:28:25.140 On Reagan?

00:28:25.960 Oh, yeah.

00:28:26.720 But I digress.

00:28:27.320 I don't want to send you down.

00:28:29.160 And now, wait a minute, wait a minute, isn't there also a picture of George H. Walker Bush outside the book depository?

00:28:39.360 No, there is a picture of people that claim, you know, there's a new, there's a new claim.

00:28:45.080 I love this, like, please, I'm buzzing around every subject.

00:28:49.800 I'm not normally like this, but you brought it up.

00:28:52.320 I know.

00:28:52.880 Have you heard Representative Luna?

00:28:55.900 Tick.

00:28:56.420 Who is now?

00:28:59.160 who is now suggesting that they have a video or something of Lee Harvey Oswald

00:29:03.860 standing outside next to the limousine.

00:29:07.120 So, okay, fine, that's terrific.

00:29:09.100 But I digress.

00:29:10.840 John Hinckley was found not guilty.

00:29:14.060 Remember, he wanted to shoot Reagan supposedly to impress Jody Foster.

00:29:18.040 Because in the District of Columbia,

00:29:22.620 their standard for the insanity defense was not the McNaughton rule.

00:29:27.500 It was like the Durham rule or something, which means basically if you had a bad day.

00:29:32.040 So under this ridiculously easy burden, he was acquitted.

00:29:36.960 That has since been corrected.

00:29:38.740 Well, you would think that wouldn't happen now, especially with the president of the United States.

00:29:43.880 You couldn't see someone taking a pot shot at the maybe now, you know, because they really don't care.

00:29:48.920 But it doesn't care.

00:29:50.020 But, you know, it seemed you'd have a hard time trying to do the same defense.

00:29:53.660 Yes. And the reason why is very simply this.

00:29:55.880 The key is, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, did he know right from wrong?

00:30:01.420 Mr. Comia, let's say you're the defendant.

00:30:03.460 Mr. Comia, you're taking the stand, which proves that you're insane.

00:30:07.440 When you ran away from the police, why did you run away?

00:30:12.740 Because it was wrong.

00:30:14.960 That's right.

00:30:16.060 Yes, I've heard that many times.

00:30:18.280 There it goes.

00:30:19.460 I've heard that many times where they say if you run from the police, if you fight,

00:30:23.400 If you there's so many things you could do that would make any reasonable person look at you and go, well, he obviously knew he did something wrong.

00:30:31.100 But what if he said, I ran from the police because they weren't the police?

00:30:34.280 They were the from the planet cyborg.

00:30:36.240 And those are the transponder agents.

00:30:38.500 And OK, well, don't you have to happen?

00:30:41.240 Don't you have to sit there and kind of prove that?

00:30:44.820 Doesn't your lawyer have to come up with a lot of psychologists, psychiatrists that could say, yes, this guy is crazy.

00:30:52.320 Yep. Absolutely. You have to do it. And here we go for another one. Here's here's another interesting aspect. Years ago in the state of Florida, where I was originally born, not Florida. That's where you visit. This is Florida. This is like, oh, you know, like Okeechobee.

00:31:09.740 There was a fellow named Billy Ferry who walked into a Winn-Dixie with a gallon of gasoline, doused these poor checkout girls, lit them aflame, ran out, and their skin liquefied.

00:31:23.440 Wow.

00:31:23.760 This guy was, if you went to Central Casting, Anthony, and I said, give me the craziest Robin Williams meets whatever with the hair, you couldn't have come near him.

00:31:35.360 He was wild.

00:31:37.020 He was like, you know, you know, open the pot door, and he was just sit down.

00:31:41.800 So there was a case.

00:31:43.220 So the defense lawyer said, this is going to be the easiest NGRI, not guilty by reason of insanity, because the guy's out of the street.

00:31:52.040 The prosecution said, excuse me, Your Honor, we'd like to mandate that he takes his medication.

00:31:56.800 Wait a minute.

00:31:57.440 What?

00:31:58.280 Slow him down.

00:31:59.940 Anthony, they gave this guy, whatever this stuff was, they gave him the best haircut.

00:32:05.540 Vidal Sassoon, a beautiful suit.

00:32:08.340 He sat there.

00:32:09.400 He looked like your insurance agent.

00:32:11.720 Of course, he's mumbling something about the planet Cyborg.

00:32:14.920 So the issue is this.

00:32:16.480 Can you force, can I kill your defense by having you take medication that makes you look normal?

00:32:22.600 And then the paranoid schizophrenic says, I'm not going to take that stuff.

00:32:26.660 You're trying to kill me.

00:32:28.260 You see where it's a fascinating subject.

00:32:31.940 Yeah, but nobody cares.

00:32:34.200 Too many. Well, too many people get off the hook using stupid things.

00:32:38.300 No, they don't. But if you want to believe that, if you want to believe that, you go ahead.

00:32:42.680 It's my show, my news, my fake news.

00:32:47.360 And I'll cry if I want to. I think Leslie Gore said it.

00:32:50.760 I saw a post of yours recently and you were talking about this big scandal with the messaging from our secretary of defense

00:33:00.320 and the fact that a journalist was attached to the text,

00:33:05.840 and you didn't seem to think it was that big a deal.

00:33:09.200 It wasn't.

00:33:09.920 Now, I'm from that school of thought myself, Lionel.

00:33:12.400 I see this as, all right, not the best thing,

00:33:16.020 but an error was made by a guy who's pretty new to this whole thing.

00:33:19.900 It doesn't mean he's incompetent.

00:33:21.940 It didn't kill any of our soldiers,

00:33:24.120 and they'll be double sure to make sure it doesn't happen again.

00:33:28.160 And what was your take on this?

00:33:30.300 Because I thought you might have been a little more miffed than you were.

00:33:33.760 No, I said from the beginning, first, listen, I love my country and I love my my fellow compatriots or patriots.

00:33:41.380 But but, Anthony, if if you can't fit the story on a bumper sticker, you're wasting your time.

00:33:46.620 If I'm talking about signal and forget it, forget it.

00:33:50.040 But here's the story.

00:33:51.320 Ladies and gentlemen, in the prior administration, a man named Biden, they found cocaine in the White House.

00:33:59.600 He was caught basically selling his office to every country in the world.

00:34:05.380 They didn't mind that.

00:34:06.560 His son was a degenerate, syphilitic, pond scum selling.

00:34:12.020 No problem with that.

00:34:13.440 The Obamas got a dead guy at their place in Martha's Vineyard in three feet of water.

00:34:18.780 No problem with that.

00:34:21.180 It goes on and on.

00:34:22.880 And President Trump was beautiful because he said, I don't know.

00:34:26.460 I don't care.

00:34:27.300 I don't care.

00:34:28.360 He said, I'm busy.

00:34:29.600 And he just ignored it.

00:34:31.280 The same way we ignored this doddering coot, this senescent, wizened freak and his phony doctor.

00:34:39.880 Nobody cared about that.

00:34:41.700 And I wish Trump would say, the hell with it.

00:34:43.660 And also, Anthony, who cares what John Cusack says?

00:34:47.420 Who gives a rat's arse?

00:34:49.520 Well, I try to show that there are people out there

00:34:52.220 that are saying some ridiculously stupid things, mister.

00:34:55.460 Well, what I like to do is I like to go with the guy.

00:34:58.820 If I were to meet him, I'd say, you know, Cusack, come here.

00:35:01.200 You know what? You were correct.

00:35:03.180 It takes a lot of balls for you to say that.

00:35:05.240 Because let me tell you something.

00:35:06.160 There was no better president than the guy before us.

00:35:08.940 You know it, and I know it.

00:35:10.100 And then have him say, now, wait a minute.

00:35:12.000 No, no, no.

00:35:13.300 You name one thing that man did wrong.

00:35:15.660 One thing.

00:35:16.380 And they go, what are you talking about?

00:35:17.940 So you think you think or you think they stick to the company line?

00:35:22.460 You out left the left and they'll look at you like, look, pal, you're Joe Biden.

00:35:28.960 Joe Biden was the greatest man ever.

00:35:31.100 He he brought he brought honor and dignity and have and have the left guy, the lefty look at you like you're out of your mind.

00:35:38.940 But but they did. They did believe that right up until they were told, don't believe that.

00:35:44.620 Right when the debate happened and it fell apart and Kamala Harris gets anointed as the candidate, then they were all like, yeah, well, we all saw it, but we weren't sure.

00:35:56.080 Meanwhile, we were sure when he was campaigning from his basement in Delaware.

00:36:00.640 So I think you can only talk to them in lies.

00:36:05.060 You can only talk to them when their lie is agreeing with your lie.

00:36:11.400 But, you know, they are so – how do I say this?

00:36:16.540 There was a time, Anthony, maybe you recall this, when people were – do I have to break or are you scratching yourself?

00:36:24.820 No, I –

00:36:25.420 I'm looking at my dear friend, Mr. –

00:36:28.420 I thought you could see me for a second.

00:36:29.820 I was like, oh, my God.

00:36:32.220 That's embarrassing.

00:36:33.200 I thought you were going, cut, cut.

00:36:35.260 We got a couple of minutes.

00:36:36.380 No, no, no, it's okay.

00:36:37.080 But, Anthony, do you know what we went through before?

00:36:41.400 There was a time in this country we went to be left.

00:36:43.200 When I was a kid, the liberal left was, you know, no war and civil rights and yay and women and yay.

00:36:51.900 And it made sense.

00:36:52.900 And the Republicans were like, you know, they're like country club people and boring.

00:36:57.320 And they did nothing for me.

00:36:59.620 Barry Goldwater.

00:37:00.620 I didn't understand him.

00:37:02.340 There was a kind of a marginal line between the two.

00:37:05.960 Now, I don't know what it was.

00:37:08.300 I don't know when it happened.

00:37:10.100 I don't know.

00:37:10.600 It started right at the time of Trump when they said, we want to have unisex bathrooms.

00:37:18.600 That's when it started.

00:37:19.860 I'm saying, why this push?

00:37:22.680 And that was the thread on your sweater that you pulled, and it all just fell apart.

00:37:29.960 That was the tripwire.

00:37:31.960 I don't know why.

00:37:33.860 And it all went downhill after that.

00:37:36.220 Do you do you see Trump as as being as good as his fans say he is or as bad as his detractors say he is?

00:37:45.340 How do you see Trump and what he's done?

00:37:47.580 Because I know you don't look at anything at face value and just go, oh, that's that's what it is.

00:37:52.840 What do you think about the job he's doing in closing, Lionel?

00:37:56.840 I think he is excellent.

00:37:59.300 He is like watching the Beatles when the Beatles when you say, do you think the Beatles are that great?

00:38:05.560 When the entire world is melting down, in love with the Beatles, who cares what I think?

00:38:12.740 He is changing everything.

00:38:14.740 He is transformational.

00:38:16.700 He is better than anything I could have ever even imagined.

00:38:19.760 And I didn't even vote for him in 2016.

00:38:22.100 I wrote my own name in because I said, I'm not going to be fooled anymore.

00:38:25.200 I said, he's not going to beat Hillary Clinton because she's going to take it.

00:38:27.620 And I thought, okay, good luck.

00:38:28.720 Now, I think he is God.

00:38:32.720 You were fooled.

00:38:34.260 That's frightening.

00:38:35.560 i think i'm sorry i think he what he does when he comes in says hey you know what i'm gonna take

00:38:42.120 canada you can't take and greenland no he comes in every day and he says who can i piss off today

00:38:49.480 yes give me something that will just drive these people nuts and he says these things and he does

00:38:55.540 i i listen i love it i what he has done and you were so correct about doge and you were so correct

00:39:02.200 about by the way doesn't do sound like douche kind of doe it kind of does but that works too

00:39:08.220 they want him to be kind of douchey well if you think about the process of kind of like cleansing

00:39:13.680 getting rid of the the detritus or whatever but this did you see him with brett bear and he have

00:39:20.140 the he have he has these people that work with him and all of them seem like they're like they're

00:39:25.200 mental cases but they're all billionaires and they're like focus laser focus in this weird kind

00:39:30.000 of uh you know very good spectrum laser focus on basically eliminating uh waste and i'm thinking

00:39:38.420 who the hell could be against this who's against it but it's amazing they come out uh against it

00:39:44.440 and they're proud of it uh lionel we're going to take a quick break i want you to stick around

00:39:48.800 though we'll do a couple of more minutes uh at the other side of the break and uh we'll be right

00:39:53.160 back it's lionel from lionel nation and we're with lionel from lionel nation lionel uh we have

00:40:02.440 a few minutes left here i do want to get your take on because we were kind of touching on it just

00:40:07.100 before trump how much of it is trolling how much of it is real and i i'm specifically talking about

00:40:13.520 he just came out the other day and said maybe a third term he might actually try to figure out

00:40:20.560 had to do with third term and i'm just thinking this is pure trump trolling uh first of all if

00:40:26.900 i could thank you so much uh lionel nation on youtube just just let people oh of course

00:40:31.420 on youtube yes yes is it trolling uh yeah is it i i think most people i learned everything i need

00:40:41.600 to know in life from professional wrestling of the 60s and 70s in the south nwa with my friend

00:40:47.320 gordon solely and bobby the brain heenan and and i learned about the work and bringing heat and

00:40:52.800 being the heel and understanding a face and a heel yes a bump versus a broadway versus and what he

00:40:59.400 does is he does these things and i believe like for example he said the the the uh natural birth

00:41:06.380 right or the uh the the 14th amendment and he says i think we're going to go and we're going

00:41:11.580 to change this well you might not be able to do that you might doesn't matter it doesn't matter

00:41:17.140 he'll just say this and he he's like you you have a cat he has a pen light and the media are cats

00:41:25.980 and he all of a sudden and they go and they run right into the wall and then he says and then

00:41:32.000 i'm going to go for the third term and i'm going to which which means a constitutional we have to

00:41:36.440 amend the constitution of course which is insane to think that that could possibly happen yes right

00:41:41.460 but he'll say that he'll say and i'm serious and we're going to go to the court how about this

00:41:45.860 we're going to get rid of these awful judges of women what how are you going to get we're going

00:41:50.980 to impeach you you you're not going to you don't have the vote it doesn't matter he just says it

00:41:56.300 yes the the third term thing is brilliant because it gets them all agitated and he what what is his

00:42:04.900 finishing line with that whole thing was but you know we got a lot of things to do now and that's

00:42:10.480 in the future but there are ways there are ways we we're looking at to do this but right now we're

00:42:16.100 just concentrating on what we could do so it sticks it sticks in their craw they don't know

00:42:21.960 what to do or say about it they continue with this he's a a fascist right right a dictator

00:42:28.280 and and then he just feeds that but i wish he would also say well and none of these people can

00:42:33.840 He could even define the fascisti, but I wish he would say, you know, years ago I took great umbrage at you suggesting that I was some kind of a megalomaniacal fool who wouldn't leave, that would barricade himself in the office.

00:42:52.920 I wouldn't do that.

00:42:54.160 But, you know, the more I think about it, thanks to you, there may be something there.

00:42:59.700 You know, a third term could be either easy or hard.

00:43:04.640 Like the great Tina Turner said,

00:43:06.280 we're going to take the beginning of the song

00:43:07.180 and start off nice and easy, rolling on.

00:43:11.100 He is just, did you see Susie Wiles, by the way,

00:43:14.880 Susie Wiles, his chief of staff or whatever,

00:43:20.140 she was wonderful.

00:43:21.340 She's very quiet.

00:43:22.080 Pat Summerall's daughter.

00:43:24.020 Oh, wow.

00:43:24.520 And she was talking about the way we're going to do things.

00:43:26.800 You see where Elise Stefanik said,

00:43:28.800 Elise, yeah.

00:43:29.520 Forget about the ambassador.

00:43:31.160 What?

00:43:31.840 Forget about it.

00:43:32.660 I want you to stay where you are.

00:43:34.040 Oh, okay.

00:43:35.800 Well, whatever you want.

00:43:36.680 Great.

00:43:37.260 Oh, Alina Haber.

00:43:38.420 What is it?

00:43:39.120 Forget about being my lawyer.

00:43:41.980 You're going to be the New Jersey U.S. Attorney Interim.

00:43:47.040 And guess where you're going to be?

00:43:48.400 Newark.

00:43:49.280 Not Washington.

00:43:50.960 Newark.

00:43:51.560 And she says, I don't know if I want to.

00:43:53.160 You're going to do it.

00:43:54.460 I don't like that.

00:43:55.480 Oh, it's beautiful.

00:43:57.080 What about Pam Bondi, who, by the way, is from my hometown, went to my law school, great, worked at my state attorney's office?

00:44:03.340 She says, Monday, we're going to have boxes of all the FC...

00:44:08.540 We never got the boxes.

00:44:09.920 Very disappointed.

00:44:10.900 And on Tuesday, we're going to have the JFK...

00:44:13.500 I got the actual bullet fragments from the grassy knoll.

00:44:17.900 Whatever happened to that?

00:44:19.060 And Kash Patel, he's saying this.

00:44:21.680 I mean, they just say this stuff.

00:44:24.840 They just say this stuff.

00:44:27.080 And then you hear the left, they like to come out and say, well, are you still happy about your vote?

00:44:33.080 Yes.

00:44:33.440 You're happy about it?

00:44:34.220 And I go, yeah, there's nothing he's done or hasn't done that I am going, oh, boy, I should have voted for Kamala Harris.

00:44:43.200 Like, obviously, but, you know, they want to believe we're regretting.

00:44:48.320 We have that buyer's remorse and it's just not happening.

00:44:51.840 The first time, you know, it's funny.

00:44:53.240 We have just a few seconds left, Lionel.

00:45:55.220 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:45:58.340 I want to thank Lionel for coming in.

00:46:00.400 Always a treat to have the great Lionel in studio there.

00:46:07.300 I can't wait till I do a show from the studio.

00:46:10.180 That's going to be a lot of fun.

00:46:12.000 I was worried about there was rain here.

00:46:14.720 And I'm like, if my power goes out, I am really going to be pissed off.

00:46:19.400 But the Lord, the Lord wanted this to continue and me to do the show.

00:46:24.060 talent on loan from god hey i won't take that one i swear people um we got a a couple of instances of

00:46:34.300 of women and trans women saying that and politicians saying that it doesn't matter

00:46:43.520 man or woman they are equal in sports can you um honestly believe this

00:46:52.800 is there any rationally thinking person that thinks a woman on the on the whole on the

00:47:02.460 basically looking at a bell curve uh that women are just as good at physical sport as men

00:47:13.520 You'd be insane. You'd be insane to think that. And this has been the topic of debate for quite some time now. And any time I hear the argument that no women can do anything men can do, and especially talking physically, I have to believe they are not of sound mind.

00:47:35.160 these days it's very easy to get into a conversation with somebody and be able to

00:47:42.560 discount everything they say if you believe that i don't want to hear anything else you have to say

00:47:48.960 i think it's something like lina would know this uh in a court of law if a witness

00:47:55.540 tells a lie what they are talking about is proof to to be false you can pretty much throw out their

00:48:04.240 entire testimony and anytime i'm talking to someone and they come up with something as insane

00:48:10.880 as believing that women are completely right there online with men as far as sports go

00:48:18.340 and there are probably a couple of sports where women can head-to-head uh compete with men

00:48:24.780 and i mean i don't know ping pong and that's a maybe i've seen some crazy ping pong click

00:48:32.080 but picture a woman any woman i'm talking grab any woman put her against the best nfl

00:48:43.960 team or even one player go one for one you have to run past a blocker you're a woman you got to

00:48:51.960 run past this blocker uh it just ain't gonna happen and i'm not even talking rule of thumb

00:48:58.720 here or or one women woman but it's the anomaly most women but there might be one that's really

00:49:05.640 strong get your strongest craziest woman and put her against any any nfl lineman

00:49:16.360 it just ain't gonna happen get the best women in the world search the globe to find the greatest

00:49:25.980 women's football

00:49:27.920 team

00:49:28.380 hand pick them

00:49:30.920 and put them against

00:49:33.780 any

00:49:35.500 the lowest

00:49:37.080 rated

00:49:39.020 NFL team of the year

00:49:41.020 the one that everyone's goofing on

00:49:43.160 the one that their city is just like

00:49:45.720 oh god maybe someday

00:49:47.260 put them against

00:49:49.540 the greatest women football

00:49:51.720 players you can find any day

00:49:53.040 they will get creamed

00:49:54.920 every play every play they will get cream never mind you know will they win or will they every

00:50:03.300 play will be a disaster so i think it's insane to think that uh that that's a thing that women

00:50:12.840 can compete but who am i to say when you have pennsylvania state senator lindsey williams

00:50:20.720 and she's got something to say that women are just as strong as men not just as good in sports

00:50:28.320 just as strong physically as men let's listen to uh pennsylvania state senator lindsey williams

00:50:35.880 female bodies are just as strong as fast and capable as male bodies

00:50:42.340 for what reason other than political gain are we spending time and taxpayer dollars

00:50:50.360 on a completely made-up issue.

00:50:53.460 There are 8 million high school athletes across the country,

00:50:56.760 and maybe 160 of them are trans.

00:51:00.900 This is the fifth time we are voting on this bill

00:51:03.540 that targets less than 0.002% of high school athletes.

00:51:08.400 I was a three-sport athlete in high school.

00:51:12.040 Participating in sports gave me the confidence, time management skills,

00:51:16.280 and ability to work collaboratively that led me to run for office.

00:51:20.360 absolutely nothing nothing about having a trans teammate or competitor would have taken those

00:51:28.120 things away from me oh god first of all yeah you were in sports how about if one of those 0.001

00:51:39.620 whatever it was uh athletes competed against you and and brought your confidence level down to

00:51:48.920 nothing because you could never win you could never win what if you were gunning for a scholarship

00:51:56.060 a sports scholarship to get into college from high school and you just missed because a guy

00:52:04.360 beat the crap out of the entire rest of the team oh but it's not a guy it's it's really a women

00:52:11.840 a woman and and uh the way she says that women are just as strong we're not talking about that

00:52:18.580 which is wrong, by the way, women aren't physically as strong or as fast physically as as men.

00:52:27.420 And then when you add trans women, men to the equation, you're not even in the same category.

00:52:36.720 It's just they're they're they're first of all, terrible against other men.

00:52:41.920 a trans woman won't even be able to compete against the worst man in the same sport.

00:52:51.780 But as far as women go, they'll kick their ass every time.

00:52:57.360 But they just want to believe this.

00:53:00.200 Why?

00:53:00.980 Virtue signaling?

00:53:02.400 Can you go out and wave at your neighbor and go,

00:53:04.360 I'm such a good person and feel good about yourself by literally lying about basic biology?

00:53:11.920 uh here's another one this is just a regular gal just a regular gal on social media talking about

00:53:21.520 trans women and the fact she actually says this are the purest form of women listen to this

00:53:29.520 nonsense i truly think that trans women are the best of us the best of us and not only do i not

00:53:37.780 think that they take anything away from my experience as a cis woman. I think that they

00:53:42.180 are actually one of the purest forms of womanhood and highlight some of the most beautiful parts of

00:53:49.760 womanhood. Because what do you mean that in our patriarchal society you are going to throw away

00:53:56.640 all of the privilege that you have as someone that was born a man and choose girlhood even when it

00:54:05.300 means you have a life expectancy of 40 and you instantly become the most at risk woman in your

00:54:14.260 society. Like that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. How does any woman see someone

00:54:18.960 fighting that? I think, I think we got enough of that. You know, it's funny, her whole thing that

00:54:23.540 they are the purest form of women. It goes hand in hand with the adoption thing. It's like,

00:54:28.020 you're even more special because you were chosen, which, you know, whatever, but it seems like

00:54:35.240 you're making an excuse they are not the most pure form of women how about just do a quick x-ray

00:54:42.360 and you will see um in a real women uh you will see uh a uterus ovaries fallopian tubes

00:54:51.460 i don't want to get any uh crazier talking about what else is there but

00:54:55.900 quite frankly that's a pure form of a woman i don't know what the hell you're talking about

00:55:02.880 it's frightening some of these people the lengths they will go to to contort the truth in order to

00:55:10.620 just fit this agenda this nonsense uh agenda that they have that transgender women are women

00:55:21.200 and that it doesn't matter if they're in sports because women themselves are just as capable

00:55:28.820 physically as any man these are aren't even misconceptions these are blatant lies lies

00:55:39.640 can we go to uh abbott from new jersey we'll take your calls uh wants to talk about women

00:55:45.500 in football abbott what's up my friend good evening this is abbott calling from ridgewood

00:55:51.240 i like that i heard your comments about the nfl i don't believe a woman that becomes a man

00:56:01.020 could even compete against a high school football right thank you college or nfl

00:56:08.340 ain't gonna happen in any way shape or form you're absolutely right and and this has been

00:56:15.860 done before there have been people that have actually you know what was it the women's

00:56:20.060 championship soccer team played high school kids and got their asses handed to them how do you

00:56:27.440 think that would uh play out in any other sport the same way i agree with you a hundred percent

00:56:36.840 and that's why i took your call abbott because you agree with i'm teasing of course but

00:56:42.900 you have some sense in your head even though you still live in jersey

00:56:46.020 the only sports i think that they're competitive in would probably be maybe golf a little bit and

00:56:53.860 depending and uh swimming we know they they can't compete in swimming because we just seen what the

00:56:59.420 men do when they become women in swimming hey i bet hey i bet hey i bet they have ladies tees

00:57:07.040 in golf that should tell you everything you need to know even about golf they have something called

00:57:13.440 ladies tease so you know while i agree with you i don't think they're even good at as good at

00:57:20.700 golf no way they can't hit a ball as far as uh a man can can tee a ball tee off on a ball just

00:57:30.360 ain't gonna happen uh abbott thank you so much we'll be taking more of your calls and we'll be

00:57:35.740 back in just a few it's the anthony cumia show anthony cumia show thank you for tuning in

00:57:43.320 i'm kind of liking this whole thing it's fun um of course another thing we do here

00:57:53.140 uh we call out the mainstream media which has been nothing but a propaganda wing of the left

00:58:01.640 for i don't know i i was bamboozled for many many years so i would probably say very noticeably

00:58:10.700 where i i absolutely 100 knew they were propaganda um 15 years i know i'm naive what do you want

00:58:24.720 but looking back i could see that it's just uh an insane amount of just propaganda coming out

00:58:34.940 left-wing propaganda so uh we do a little thing called fake news here now fake news folks fake

00:58:45.540 news it's the fake news fake stories news moment this could be the easiest thing i ever have to

00:58:53.020 find during my week because it's it's everywhere tomorrow i will go through social media news

00:59:03.640 sites emails and i will find my fake news for uh next week because it's just rampant

00:59:12.380 this one is about it's great because it's a fake news station msnbc a fake news

00:59:21.020 journalist rachel maddow and a fake news poll the gallup poll talking about trump and uh

00:59:31.100 All these three fakeries come together in just an astounding load of crap.

00:59:39.440 And apparently, see, I didn't know this.

00:59:42.820 People I've spoken with, and when I look on social media,

00:59:47.260 and I don't live in a bubble, I try to follow a lot of people

00:59:50.440 I am 100% at odds with as far as how things should be done.

00:59:57.960 And I don't know, I talk to a lot of people,

01:00:00.480 And I, I think people kind of like what's going on now under the Trump administration, not love it.

01:00:08.780 They don't have to love it. They don't have to love everything.

01:00:11.480 But you'd be very, very hard pressed to find people that think Biden, Harris was doing a bang up job and Trump is ruining their legacy.

01:00:24.720 Now, I go back to the beginning of the show talking about mental institutions.

01:00:29.360 There are some people that should be in those buildings that do believe that.

01:00:35.000 But the vast majority of rational Americans see what's going on.

01:00:41.780 They love Doge trying to find this corruption.

01:00:46.340 They love the border being secured.

01:00:49.300 they love the fact that we're not being reamed by by uh our supposed allies in in world economics

01:00:59.680 where we've just been the atm for earth for decades and they say this is good i like the

01:01:08.620 direction this is going in because it's strong it's american it does me well it's like most

01:01:14.900 people go what does the president do that suits you as a a citizen of of america this i want to

01:01:21.620 keep more of my tax dollars and if i have to pay taxes i certainly want it going to something that

01:01:27.360 benefits me and my uh kind of my way of life the way i look at america my family uh but you know

01:01:37.420 I must be wrong because Rachel Maddow on MSNBC is reading the Gallup poll, the trifecta of lies, and telling me that, no, people are not happy with Donald Trump.

01:01:56.580 Listen to this nonsense.

01:01:58.620 How does the American people like all of this?

01:02:01.500 How does the American population feel about how things are turning out with Donald Trump

01:02:07.060 being back in the White House, given that this is sort of the daily news now?

01:02:11.880 New polling from Gallup just out today shows that there is no issue on which the American

01:02:17.000 people like what Trump is doing.

01:02:19.380 His disapproval ratings are higher than his approval ratings on everything.

01:02:23.380 He is 18 points underwater on his handling of the economy.

01:02:28.040 He is 19 points underwater on his relations with Russia.

01:02:32.160 He's underwater on his handling of the federal budget, on energy policy, on foreign affairs,

01:02:36.920 on the Ukraine war, on the environment, on even his relations with the dreaded news media.

01:02:42.300 He is underwater on every single thing.

01:02:46.940 New polling in the great state of Texas today shows that Trump's favorability rating

01:02:51.500 in Texas has dropped 15 points since the election in November.

01:02:57.120 He is now underwater, specifically in Texas, and dropping like a stone.

01:03:04.820 Today, Donald Trump pulled the nomination of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to be his new ambassador to the United Nations.

01:03:11.860 So congratulations to the United Nations.

01:03:14.520 But Trump admitted the reason why he pulled her nomination.

01:03:17.920 He said the reason he pulled her nomination is because they don't want her to leave her seat in the House because the Republican majority is so thin.

01:03:27.120 Now, if Elise Stefanik had left her seat in the House and become U.N. ambassador, which was the original plan, they would just hold an election to put somebody else in that seat, right?

01:03:39.500 If another Republican was going to replace her in the House, it would affect the size of the House.

01:03:44.080 All right, enough.

01:03:46.840 Oh, God, I want to apologize to everybody listening that I subjected you to that much Rachel effing Maddow.

01:03:55.680 oh but i mean really the poll says that every indication i get from anyone i speak to

01:04:06.540 is the exact opposite of what she's talking about gallup poll look in the look in the mirror

01:04:14.500 when she runs people go look

01:04:17.200 get it gallop

01:04:20.500 anyhow she is

01:04:23.140 a disaster of lies

01:04:26.540 the gallop poll

01:04:29.400 enough

01:04:31.320 Rachel

01:04:34.080 all right look we're gonna come back

01:04:37.420 taking your calls in a second

01:04:39.840 the Anthony

01:05:18.060 celebrity is wow there's a vein of like john cusack what you played earlier yeah there there's so

01:05:24.580 many uh oh god i can't remember his name oh he's in one of those uh marvel movies he's got like

01:05:31.380 curly hair uh i don't know i can't i can't spit it out right away see that's where i need to

01:05:37.760 need to be up on my uh jack off celebrities that are really just terrible people but there's so

01:05:45.660 many of them dude i mean uh de niro obviously he's i think he's destroyed his legacy of awesome

01:05:53.900 movies and people really loving him yep do you remember robert de niro he was in the beginning

01:06:01.840 of that French Brothers 9-11 documentary years ago.

01:06:06.960 Yeah, yeah.

01:06:07.380 Right, he says, hey, I'm Robert De Niro.

01:06:09.200 I grew up a few blocks from here.

01:06:11.340 And, you know, he tells the story, right?

01:06:13.100 Yeah.

01:06:14.600 He destroyed the legacy to advocate for the same thing

01:06:19.140 that is destroying New York City.

01:06:21.920 They have to read the script.

01:06:25.880 They have to toe the company line.

01:06:28.320 There is powers in play that go a lot deeper than we we either know about or can safely talk about without being canceled and destroyed.

01:06:41.560 And all these celebrities, Hollywood, it's part of it.

01:06:45.040 It's this this just bastion of of evil people, of of horrible, horrible atrocities that they perpetrated against other people.

01:06:58.720 And then they get they get off the hook because, oh, he was good in that movie.

01:07:05.200 He was funny. He's, you know, likable.

01:07:09.880 But I think the shine is wearing off.

01:07:12.560 I think we're seeing through all this nonsense, and we'll see how far it goes.

01:07:16.900 Thank you, Matt.

01:07:18.220 Thank you, my good friend, Matt.

01:07:20.020 Let's go to Maurice.

01:07:23.720 Maurice in the Bronx.

01:07:25.380 What's up, Maurice?

01:07:27.800 Yeah, I was just curious.

01:07:29.540 Have you heard of the author F. Roger Devlin?

01:07:33.160 Wait, wait.

01:07:33.940 It sounds like you're saying F him.

01:07:36.040 No, I get it.

01:07:36.760 F. Roger Devlin.

01:07:38.200 Yes.

01:07:39.380 You have?

01:07:40.240 Okay, terrific.

01:07:40.860 Well, for The Uninitiated, he wrote a great book. It's Sexual Utopia in Power. And so far, he's come up with the greatest approach to dealing with the so-called transsexual and homosexual propaganda issue.

01:07:54.440 And he points out, he just points out, we just simply have no laws relevant to homosexuality or transsexuality at all.

01:08:03.080 That's a great take.

01:08:03.980 Homosexuals have been with us literally for time immemorial.

01:08:08.740 It's just that they're so, so insignificant a percentage of the population and nobody paid much attention to them.

01:08:14.360 That it shouldn't be. And like other groups, Maurice, doesn't it seem like everything is covered under our Constitution and the rights that are due us just for being?

01:08:28.200 Why do they need these extra things thrown in that we need protection for race, sexuality or anything else?

01:08:37.460 If you're a person, a human being and you live in this country in America, you are protected by your God given rights.

01:08:46.160 Why do you need anything extra? Right.

01:08:48.700 I think that, you know, elevating certain protected groups is unconstitutional because you're discriminating against the majority, against the majority.

01:08:55.420 and we're seeing that in jolly old England boy they just came up with a great new uh policy

01:09:02.140 to where white men will be spending more time in prison for some of the same crimes that are

01:09:09.740 committed by others just for the fact that they are white men uh absolutely England is gone nuts

01:09:17.760 man yeah it's absolute insanity uh Keir Starmer is probably the uh British British version of uh

01:09:25.020 vladimir lenin i mean you know you can't get more left-wing than him no uh and with and with

01:09:30.340 regard to and with regard to the labor party in britain it's as socialist it's as cultural

01:09:36.020 marxist as the democratic party in the united states and they haven't learned their lesson

01:09:40.480 they were going growing growing about the diversity in the labor party over there

01:09:46.700 they couldn't get enough it was like uh this uh mass self-pleasuring they were looking at each

01:09:53.760 other talking about the great thing about the labor party is that they are uh so diverse and

01:09:59.920 it's like yeah what is that doing is that actually figuring out to uh uh be i don't know profitable

01:10:08.180 is it good for the country is it good for the people nothing they're doing over there is good

01:10:13.360 for brits and it's hard to watch and one one last thing uh so with regard to you know british uh

01:10:21.220 left-wing politics and what left-wing politicians have done uh they're they've opened the borders

01:10:26.180 to immigration the same way they've done here to the point where by mid cent excuse me the end of

01:10:31.300 this century 2100 britons will be a minority in their own country and that's happening all over

01:10:37.000 western europe because these left-wing lunatic marxist politicians i mean they need to be thrown

01:10:42.380 out and they need to be tried for treason and executed that's what really needs to happen to

01:10:47.140 It would be a novel change to what we've seen of late.

01:10:52.260 Maurice, thank you, my friend.

01:10:55.820 Here goes the wonderful Maurice.

01:10:58.960 There's something I wanted to touch on here.

01:11:01.080 I've got a few minutes.

01:11:04.420 It's Greenland.

01:11:06.120 The Greenland thing is, first of all, it's hilarious.

01:11:11.660 Because, again, like I was saying to Lionel, I think Trump does a lot of trolling.

01:11:15.820 I think he does. But I don't think Greenland is a troll. He's pissing off so many people.

01:11:24.440 I'm going to annex Greenland. If the military is what it takes, we get it, Greenland. Great country, big country.

01:11:32.540 We're going to take Greenland for some reason. But I was looking into this and knowing Trump from what I've seen over the course of the years with him,

01:11:44.420 this kind of makes sense in a trumpian way greenland it's a quarter the size of the united

01:11:53.620 states it's it's it looks a lot bigger on a globe or no i'm not on a globe on a map

01:12:01.760 than it is in real life on a globe it kind of looks like the regular size but truth of matter

01:12:08.300 is it's kind of like the midwest it takes up the space in the united states that the midwest

01:12:14.520 would uh take up there are 57 000 people living there wyoming has 10 times the population

01:12:24.260 and go to wyoming i defy you to find a person like wyoming is a relatively big state one of

01:12:31.900 those big square states out west and um it has 10 times it's got about 570 or 600 000 people

01:12:42.340 living in wyoming and it's it's empty so greenland doesn't have a lot of people in it

01:12:50.940 their export what are the export there must be something what is trump going for here they must

01:12:57.840 have uranium plutonium they must have something their biggest export non-filet frozen fish and

01:13:09.460 crustaceans yes non-filet frozen fish and crustaceans now i love a good king crab leg

01:13:18.500 but i don't think trump is threatening military intervention for uh taking greenland

01:13:26.640 um here's what i think trump is up to tell me if if i'm wrong or if this is kind of uh feasible

01:13:37.180 there are a lot of disenfranchised citizens of a lot of different countries especially in europe

01:13:44.740 germany france spain italy england you see all these things happening and the regular old

01:13:55.800 people the the people that that for for generations have lived their life grown up

01:14:03.780 lived their lives their ancestry comes from that are now the second class citizens i can't tell you

01:14:10.940 how many tweets i saw uh from from people uh dignitaries just trying to find a sheet of paper

01:14:20.120 here uh from dignitaries about this uh eid mubarak you know the end of ramadan and and

01:14:27.240 every leader of every nation is wishing everyone a great eid is it eid mubarak whatever it is the

01:14:36.660 end of the ramadan fast and uh they can't they cannot talk up the benefits of having muslims

01:14:48.060 in their country more they they just they pour it on and i think the citizens that have been

01:14:57.020 there for generations going huh what um i'm not seeing the real benefit here it's a little

01:15:04.780 yeah it's not quite what it used to be everything you remember if you're any older than this

01:15:12.460 generation uh it's a britain that was british these are english people the old empire you know

01:15:21.360 the sun never sets on the british empire uh that's gone that's gone you have these these politicians

01:15:30.480 and uh people that have just destroyed a culture keir starmer sadiq khan they have just taken what

01:15:43.660 uh britain was and bastardized it just turned it into what they wanted it to be

01:15:50.780 now here's my thing about greenland and trump uh what if trump wants to bring over disenfranchised

01:15:58.920 citizens of some of these countries that are being flooded with third world burdens and now

01:16:05.960 you have a new america not america like the the mainland united states we're filled up there's too

01:16:13.060 much garbage going on where you can't bring in people exclusively from certain countries that

01:16:20.500 you know would prosper and innovate and and do well so we get greenland and we make it the new

01:16:28.440 american frontier right so now the new america hard-working adventurous innovative people

01:16:38.560 from countries who take them for granted and treat them like those second-class citizens

01:16:43.880 just like america was a couple of hundred years ago think about that wagons hoe yo

01:16:52.640 ho wagons ho people would go east from the original 13 colonies and they would head east

01:17:02.040 and and deals were made louisiana purchase and then the the drive westward oh there were some

01:17:09.880 problems but see the shining sea where america some problems in between that we had to deal with

01:17:19.000 but as i say um trump might be doing this so i looked a little deeper i'm like even though

01:17:28.420 fish and crabs are greenland's biggest exports right now uh the the they have oil they have oil

01:17:39.640 natural gas they have mineral deposits that look like every single thing that goes into a tesla

01:17:45.580 battery but no one's mining they're barely mining and as far as drilling oil and natural gas it's

01:17:53.880 banned in greenland for environmental reasons and that is because of and here it comes folks

01:18:01.040 hold on to your seats the indigenous people of greenland yes inuits not idiots i said inuits

01:18:13.160 these are eskimos there are actually eskimos in the world i swear to you uh about 50 000 of them

01:18:24.060 7 000 are other people living in greenland but for the most part it's uh inuits they live uh

01:18:32.220 all over most of it is the lower like canada you know canada's got this insane tundra of cold

01:18:38.980 So most of the Canadians live right on the American border.

01:18:43.040 And Greenland's kind of similar.

01:18:44.580 I think two-thirds of their country is in the Arctic Circle.

01:18:48.260 So the lower part is the part I think Trump's concentrating on.

01:18:52.500 He's going to make it where we can start inviting over disenfranchised,

01:18:59.200 brilliant people from nations that aren't known to maybe be crap holes.

01:19:08.980 And smart people, people who are up for a challenge, innovative people, people that could be placed somewhere on the globe and take the weather and the terrain, geography, take that all into consideration and go, yeah, we could do this and set up a civilization.

01:19:35.620 America too

01:19:37.780 and we don't have to take

01:19:41.320 it could be different than

01:19:42.920 the rules to taking in people here

01:19:45.240 in this country

01:19:45.900 we could just take in people that

01:19:49.240 are completely productive

01:19:50.840 wonderful productive

01:19:53.100 people

01:19:53.900 wouldn't that be awesome

01:19:55.940 I think it would be

01:19:58.520 and it might be something that he's doing

01:20:00.760 I don't know what am I to say

01:20:02.740 I think I know what Trump's up to

01:20:04.800 at any given moment of the day

01:20:06.600 but it seems like a Trump thing

01:20:09.040 doesn't it? Doesn't it seem like

01:20:11.000 something Trump would

01:20:11.780 would do?

01:20:15.920 I think so.

01:20:18.000 Anyway that's

01:20:18.980 that's my whole take on

01:20:21.240 on Greenland because there's no other

01:20:23.200 real

01:20:23.880 reason to be

01:20:27.280 so into it. If we want the minerals

01:20:29.360 we can make a deal with them. They're

01:20:31.160 Indians. You know look at Manhattan

01:20:32.860 look google it you'll see what it took to get manhattan i don't think the minerals are a

01:20:39.180 problem but i think getting a bunch of amazing europeans into greenland to build an entire new

01:20:46.600 industrial country would be fantastic take in south africans there's south african farmers

01:20:55.600 that are being murdered after the fall of apartheid.

01:21:02.160 Germany, we see what's happening in Germany.

01:21:04.700 They poor bastards, they tried to launch a rocket the other day.

01:21:08.400 I've launched higher rockets when I was into Estes model rockets.

01:21:13.720 This thing crashed, it blew up, and it's like, ah.

01:21:17.560 Look up Operation Paperclip.

01:21:19.800 You'll love it.

01:21:22.900 France, England.

01:21:24.320 I talked to a lot of people from England, and they're disgusted with what's going on.

01:21:30.160 Ireland, they're disgusted with just Rosie O'Donnell moving there.

01:21:34.780 I'm not kidding.

01:21:37.460 So this is maybe a theory.

01:21:40.200 I think I might have touched on a theory about why Donald Trump is so damn interested in Greenland.

01:21:49.920 It's kind of a troll.

01:21:51.420 And again, the weather, I understand it's cold.

01:21:54.840 There are there have been people in this world that have moved to the coldest climates and and made unbelievable strides.

01:22:03.640 And that's who we're looking for, for the new Greenland America.

01:22:10.940 I see it happening.

01:22:12.980 We'll be back in moments.

01:22:14.700 Don't move.

01:22:16.120 Anthony Cumia show.

01:22:17.120 welcome back anthony kumia show i'm digging it digging the calls

01:22:25.220 this whole thing kind of a nice arrangement it's a nice arrangement

01:22:30.520 oh gosh what are we looking at here oh my god i got my papers uh i kind of went off crazy on

01:22:41.340 some of my material because i got it all written down here like a pro and then i do things that i

01:22:45.940 did earlier and then i don't hit on things that i meant to but it doesn't matter i'm packed with

01:22:51.580 stuff quickly this is just a quick thing because uh i wasn't even gonna do this and then i saw it

01:22:58.220 right before showtime rachel zegler who was in that snow white movie that baha harmed severely

01:23:07.700 and i will totally blame her it's completely her fault you could have a crappy movie but if you go

01:23:16.180 out there and smile and wink and wave you'll do as good as you can do if you really want to screw

01:23:23.800 the pooch uh do what she did obnoxious narcissistic just crapping all over the the whole

01:23:35.100 um i don't know franchise the whole the whole way that disney supposedly worked years ago i guess

01:23:42.500 there's still people that remember but uh it's her her fault and then i quickly saw this

01:23:47.660 uh sean lennon john and yoko's kid uh went public and just started giving her uh the how do you do

01:23:59.060 on on how she screwed this whole thing up and i found that funny because i don't know much about

01:24:05.280 sean lennon but i would assume with his father's past and yoko and the whole you know groovy thing

01:24:12.480 that he would be a lefty maybe not maybe not he's um he talked about ziggler's controversial

01:24:24.000 conduct amid filming and the press that she did uh while he acknowledges that the backlash may

01:24:31.000 have gone too far lennon didn't mince words when it came to his personal view of the 23 year old

01:24:36.780 actress laboring labeling her behavior as that of a spoiled ungrateful disconnected brat

01:24:45.520 no um once uh poised to be disney's crown jewel of its live action remake arsenal snow white now

01:24:54.860 appears to be the studio's most fraught endeavor to date uh the musician and producer sean 48

01:25:03.360 generally maintains quiet presence online that's what got me but uh he felt urged to speak out on

01:25:09.860 this occasion i agree with vilification went too far but also she also acts like a spoiled

01:25:19.360 ungrateful brat so it's no surprise um yeah he doesn't think she's she's a nice person

01:25:29.760 and this is kind of what everyone thought

01:25:32.420 uh how long is that going to take how long will it take until hollywood

01:25:38.440 realizes that the majority of people are not bamboozled by hollywood anymore how about that

01:25:46.720 we don't really care about hollywood and how awesome you people are it's embarrassing

01:25:54.840 just embarrassing uh Joaquin from the great state of Pennsylvania Joaquin what's up my friend

01:26:04.280 hey Mr. Kumio you know what welcome to WABC I'm actually glad to listen to you and the funny

01:26:10.160 thing is I didn't like ONA I was a big Stern fan and I hear you no I love it thank you man

01:26:17.280 I appreciate it I have a great look I have a great loathing and disdain for Howard Stern

01:26:22.460 Yeah, it happened.

01:26:23.380 I'm a COVID coward.

01:26:25.400 It happened over time.

01:26:26.440 It became a Hollywood Howie.

01:26:28.980 There you go.

01:26:30.080 But, you know, this is all about the destruction of Judeo-Christian Western civilization.

01:26:33.940 And I hate to even say it because it almost actually seems to, you know, play into the white replacement theory stuff, which I really hate to go that way, you know.

01:26:44.100 But quite frankly, actually, it's a globalist communist agenda that's taking everything over.

01:26:49.460 and it's taken over our our media it's taken over our educational system and entertainment

01:26:55.780 and you know some musk and trump those two guys were loved by the left yep the day that donald

01:27:02.240 trump came down the escalator and when i heard the things that donald trump wanted to do as

01:27:06.400 president i was on team trump from day number one and he has not let down no he's got balls which

01:27:13.540 is you know that's what you got to be people forget about our old presidents you know speak

01:27:18.960 softly but carry a big stick imagine saying that now they'd be like a big stick violence he's he's

01:27:26.880 saying that people should hit people with sticks like no it's just an attitude that a president

01:27:33.480 needs a president needs to command and be strong and have uh certain sayings i don't know things

01:27:42.980 that make it remind the country that hey i got your back i'm not going to fold and and and roll

01:27:49.140 over for these uh other countries in the world that have been just screwing us for decades

01:27:55.880 that's right and you know something the elimination of the department of education

01:28:01.500 is actually very brilliant because these blue cities and states you know these were they they

01:28:07.660 were the ones for the open border policies and allowed the flooding of immigrants to come to

01:28:11.720 best states guess what the department of education has not to do a curriculum has to do with money

01:28:16.620 so guess what money now we can cut off the money and the rest of us do not have to pay

01:28:20.560 for for this uh for these illegal immigrants or whatever you want to call them that that these

01:28:25.940 states you don't want to put the bill for yes great point because you know people think doing

01:28:32.160 away with the department of education means doing away with the with children's education

01:28:37.440 it has nothing to do with that it has been the biggest boondoggle waste of money and resources

01:28:44.680 and look at the statistics it doesn't take much it has done nothing but bring down

01:28:52.880 the education of american children it's terrible i don't know uh what that what they expect uh uh

01:29:03.120 from the Department of Education, but they didn't get it.

01:29:06.400 Joaquin, thank you, man.

01:29:07.980 Appreciate it.

01:29:10.040 We will be right back in a matter of moments.

01:29:13.040 A lot more of the show left.

01:29:14.800 Don't fret.

01:29:16.560 And what else did I want to talk about here?

01:29:20.880 Because, oh, oh, wait a minute.

01:29:22.120 Wait a minute.

01:29:22.660 It was Mark Ruffalo.

01:29:24.620 That's what I wanted to say.

01:29:25.680 We'll be right back.

01:29:28.320 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:29:30.240 our amazing third hour uh let's go right back to the phones for a minute here steve from brooklyn

01:29:39.720 has comments on greenland i don't know because i threw something out there and let's see what

01:29:45.260 steve has to say steve what's up my friend hi it's strange that you brought that up tonight

01:29:49.720 i had a parallel idea about greenland as a u.s protectorate um whereby people would come and uh

01:29:58.260 like new colonies and new wagon trains, a little like the U.S. Virgin Islands or Guam.

01:30:06.160 Not everyone realizes that we have the islands in and also Puerto Rico is a protectorate, not a state.

01:30:14.240 None of these places have a vote.

01:30:16.920 Right.

01:30:17.100 But the idea would be that the natural resources are wonderful.

01:30:21.100 People could come and make careers there.

01:30:24.000 Amongst the Inuits, I spent time up in Alaska, and I met a lot of Tlingit and Haida Indians there.

01:30:31.220 Steve, Steve, was it cold?

01:30:34.500 Well, I was there during the warm weather months.

01:30:37.440 I just wanted to make sure it was cold.

01:30:40.180 Okay.

01:30:41.020 But there are loads of glaciers and icebergs anyway.

01:30:43.660 But the point is, when you said this, I said, so it's not so crazy.

01:30:47.620 This would be our second Alaska, our second wonderful so-called Seward's Folly.

01:30:53.440 because i'm old enough to remember when we studied american history and seward uh was laughed at and

01:31:00.200 so was the president who i think was either lincoln or grant afterwards forget who yeah steve steve

01:31:06.980 real quick did you did you remember studying american history when it was presented as

01:31:11.620 a good thing because that's amazing because i remember that too steve i remember when we went

01:31:17.900 through american history as a child and it was presented like look how amazing the people

01:31:25.740 that built this country were so uh steve continue i just wanted to bring that up because

01:31:31.120 not many people really know that it was actually a good thing at one point well i'm in my mid-70s so

01:31:38.620 i went to new york city public schools and i do remember when history was actually taught the good

01:31:44.960 the bad the ugly to quote that movie title and yes um there were brilliant moves there the alaska

01:31:53.040 was not our first purchase there was the the louisiana purchase the gadsden purchase the

01:31:58.260 oregon attract and um all of the various additions to what was viewed then as manifest destiny meaning

01:32:06.680 manifest meant it should be obvious to everyone isn't that interesting right it should be obvious

01:32:12.920 to everyone this it's our destiny to have this and that's exactly why should that stop why should

01:32:20.940 that have stopped it wasn't a date it didn't say manifest destiny will will uh go until this time

01:32:36.740 history but there was the monroe doctrine and the manifest destiny mr hand was teaching that

01:32:43.660 it was ocean to ocean you know the way uh these days they say from sea to to the river well back

01:34:43.640 things here I like touching on

01:34:45.560 a bit of history I like that history

01:34:47.720 kind of gives us a little indication

01:34:49.620 of where we might be headed

01:34:51.140 but I can't really

01:34:53.580 get into protracted conversations

01:34:55.560 about history here you'll have to join me on my protracted conversations on history show

01:35:01.320 that i'll probably be doing here uh at some point but uh still going with the phones let me um

01:35:08.300 hold on uh all right this this this guy's good uh olina is it a girl olina is that a drug is that

01:35:36.380 i love this it's a whole new audience i'm getting yes uh on broadcast radio i i love it thank you

01:35:43.500 Well, Lena, you want to talk about, obviously, the Comets, men and women, sports, and it's a big, big topic.

01:35:50.000 But before I touch that, can I just give you one more comment about your show?

01:35:55.900 Please do.

01:35:56.700 I love your show because it is a different form of journalism.

01:36:02.760 I have never heard your style.

01:36:04.920 Interesting.

01:36:05.520 You have humor, you have storytelling, and your variety of subjects is marvelous.

01:36:12.460 I really appreciate it. You don't even know how much I appreciate it. I appreciate it so much,

01:36:18.260 I'm going to clip this call and send it to every boss I have up there.

01:36:22.540 You do that. Thank you, Olena. And Mr. President of the Guinness might like it.

01:36:27.060 I appreciate that, Olena. I really do. What's your take on this men and women's sports nonsense?

01:36:33.300 Yes. If I can share my thoughts about that nonsense, I have a very critical question to

01:36:39.900 all that nonsense now years ago we all read and we heard and we know about the book of creations

01:36:49.360 so we know that there was an adam and then someplace along the line he got lonely

01:36:56.660 so they pulled out a rib and made a woman not adam it's steve

01:37:01.860 right okay now anthony yes uh are some men wanting to get the rib back

01:37:09.900 it looks that way boy that's one option uh you know pandora's box has been open adam's

01:37:18.340 rib cage has been open there are some things that cannot be turned back we must look to the future

01:37:23.400 and look how we can improve upon everything past mistakes uh other things that that get thrown in

01:37:31.120 our way i think um part of being a a human being and a person and a sentient being is being able

01:37:38.200 to deal with a lot of speed bumps that are thrown in front of us and persevere and and move on

01:37:45.340 you're you're absolutely right but if you go back to that book of creation that was chapter one

01:37:52.760 i wonder i wonder how are we going to do this rip transfer in chapter two now i i i think

01:38:02.600 that will sort itself out because if we keep going the way we are going uh we're going to

01:38:08.900 notice that we're not doing the right thing that's for sure is this uh this book you're

01:38:15.020 talking about is it available uh audio because i don't read well actually this book this book

01:38:20.900 is the bible i know exactly what you're talking about olina i know i know oh my dear olina thank

01:38:28.760 you so much for the call and the compliment and uh i appreciate your support i really do thank you

01:38:34.340 so much there goes olina was i supposed to do a hard out oh boy was i i uh boy i i did it didn't

01:38:43.880 i i did it no i don't even know where uh there it is i'm trying to figure out the times because

01:38:52.820 this third i can yeah the third hour is like uh new to me so i'm just looking at paper uh there

01:39:01.760 it is how about yeah here's another one lisa lisa a girl lisa thank you hi anthony love your show

01:39:13.320 thank you did the screener tell you to say that no i was not paid or prompted to do that

01:39:21.060 oh thank god you know some shows they do that hi lisa we're gonna put you on with anthony but

01:39:26.660 could you please say i love the show uh but thank you i'm glad that didn't happen montana i had just

01:39:33.840 been talking about montana and your population and the fact that it's a very big state what do

01:39:39.380 you do up there in uh montana lisa i just retired from the u.s postal service i was with the post

01:39:45.860 office 38 years so you're one of the crazy people that i talked about that should be institutionalized

01:39:52.060 at this point in your life so you were you were in the post office during that time where people

01:39:59.320 had the term going postal absolutely there's a lot of feel about that

01:40:05.760 um we all agree that there's one person at every large post office that voted most likely to come

01:40:15.100 back and kill everybody yeah i think everyone knows that and uh i don't think it's changed

01:40:20.820 i don't know why we haven't heard about uh as many postal employees going what they call postal but

01:40:26.560 you know other people are filling those gaps lisa thank you for calling and what do you want to

01:40:31.380 talk about i wanted to talk about a sport that is equal between men and women and it's it's horse

01:40:40.640 jumping because it's the skill of the rider so men and women do compete against each other equally

01:40:48.020 they make tons of money the horse is the one that's doing the work and the horse is also strong

01:40:55.040 and talented but the person on the horse's back is the one that gets it to go over the course

01:40:59.960 flawlessly in a a a certain amount of time but they do compete evenly in horse show jumping

01:41:07.660 now this is a you bring up a great topic here because isn't it the horse like isn't the horse

01:41:16.120 doing the physical work and you know it's like saying hey if a a guy is is driving a car or

01:41:24.000 girls driving a car aren't they but oh wait that don't work either a plane let's say a plane oh

01:41:31.100 wait that doesn't work either no but i know what you're saying um i i was raised in an equestrian

01:41:39.240 town san juan capistrano california when i was a kid and i rode uh horses i rode jim canna

01:41:45.800 I did barrel cloverleaf and pole bending when I was a kid.

01:41:51.420 And yes, the girls could be just as good as the guys in that sport.

01:41:57.240 But again, you're not talking about on your girl legs as opposed to guy legs and your girl arm throwing something as opposed to the guy arm.

01:42:06.860 so while i appreciate it is a sport and guys and girls can both compete in it and do equally as

01:42:13.540 well it's kind of the horse isn't it well it's also the skill of the rider but as far as i know

01:42:20.220 there are no transgender show jumpers yet but maybe i've just opened a can of worms well the

01:42:26.620 the gelding of the horse might come into play but i don't know lisa thanks so much appreciate

01:42:34.840 All right, Anthony. Thank you.

01:42:36.380 There goes Lisa from the great state of Montana.

01:42:39.540 We sure get some calls from faraway lands, that's for sure.

01:42:44.560 I kind of want to finish up before the break with this Yankee torpedo bat thing.

01:42:52.760 Maybe we could clear the lines, clear the phone lines,

01:42:55.580 because I want to get some people that want to talk about this bat thing.

01:43:02.420 apparently after i don't know how how old is baseball 1800s 1800s and they they've had the

01:43:16.680 bat and the ball and they've come up with different things i know gloves i've seen

01:43:21.840 different gloves but we are at a point in the spring of 2025 where a new baseball bat

01:43:34.480 has completely screwed up everything so there's a torpedo bat and if you haven't seen what this is

01:43:44.600 take a baseball bat

01:43:46.840 and then they look very closely

01:43:49.400 at where the batter

01:43:50.700 is connecting the bat

01:43:53.080 with the ball and if it's off

01:43:55.180 the tip of the bat the fatter

01:43:57.260 part you know bats are tapered

01:43:59.380 you get a fat heavy part of the

01:44:01.240 bat at the tip you're getting more

01:44:02.900 mass more mass is

01:44:05.120 moving and when it hits

01:44:07.120 the ball you're getting more energy

01:44:08.940 but some hitters don't

01:44:11.100 hit it at that point they hit it lower

01:44:13.140 by the label they call it

01:44:14.600 so they just decided let's make the bat fatter at that point and we'll taper it skinnier to the tip

01:44:23.060 because he's hitting it down further on the bat and i don't know if it's coincidence or what have

01:44:31.000 you but the yankees have been smashing the baseball out of the park and i've read the stuff

01:44:38.140 you know yankee stadium's a little play school park it's a disney park it's a you know pussy

01:44:45.420 park the walls aren't that far so it doesn't matter home run anyone can hit a home run in

01:44:51.360 yankee stadium we'll do it we'll do it and timing wise it does certainly seem that these uh bats

01:45:00.580 are really having an effect on home runs.

01:45:06.920 I think they got like 12 yesterday.

01:45:11.260 They got like eight today.

01:45:12.420 It's been insane how many...

01:45:15.420 They're close to a record of how many home runs

01:45:19.040 they've gotten, any team has gotten

01:45:21.460 in the first few games of a season.

01:45:25.100 So I don't know what it is.

01:45:28.460 I would like to hear Mad Dog's take on it.

01:45:32.640 What are these torpedo bats, Mikey?

01:45:34.960 I don't understand.

01:45:36.020 They put a fatter putt and a bat on it.

01:45:37.960 It sounds like cheating to me.

01:45:40.700 I certainly wouldn't have my Giants.

01:45:42.780 My San Francisco Giants wouldn't be using a fake bat

01:45:46.360 to hit home runs in their park.

01:45:49.700 Yankees are a board team.

01:45:51.080 They're a cheat team.

01:45:53.620 That's all there will ever be, Mikey.

01:45:57.460 I would love to hear his take on the torpedo bat.

01:46:03.120 But it is interesting.

01:46:04.420 Let me talk to Chris.

01:46:06.280 I love it.

01:46:07.560 Chris from Long Island.

01:46:09.080 He is a baseball guy.

01:46:10.260 Chris, what's up, man?

01:46:12.300 What's up?

01:46:12.820 All right, Yankee bats.

01:46:13.840 Let's get this off the deck here.

01:46:16.120 First of all, the bat is 100% legal.

01:46:19.680 All right.

01:46:20.940 People might argue this.

01:46:23.100 People are going to argue this.

01:46:25.700 It's legal according to the baseball rules.

01:46:28.260 Now, the Yankees, what they did was, and they're brilliant,

01:46:30.720 they hired a guy back in 2024, some brilliant scientist guy from MIT,

01:46:36.740 because baseball is like other sports, and they've all gone analytics-driven.

01:46:41.200 So everything is about numbers on the computer now.

01:46:43.580 So this guy figured out that they took Anthony Volpe, the Yankee shortstop,

01:46:47.700 and they looked at all of his contact throughout the year

01:46:50.140 and found out that he was hitting the ball mostly on the bat

01:46:54.140 towards where the label on the bat is.

01:46:55.860 Yeah, but how is it legal to change the geometry of a bat

01:47:00.520 to be more massive where he hits the ball?

01:47:05.540 How is that legal?

01:47:06.260 Because the bat size is written in the baseball rules

01:47:10.060 that it could only be a certain width around the fattest part of the bat,

01:47:14.600 and they have not bypassed that.

01:47:16.440 They never dictated where the fattest part has to be.

01:47:22.260 It doesn't have to be at the very top of the bat.

01:47:25.140 It could taper up and then taper back down?

01:47:29.660 Correct.

01:47:30.960 It's only specified where the widest part of the bat has to measure.

01:47:35.340 But it could be on the handle if you wanted to go some goofy route.

01:47:39.640 It would still be illegal according to the Major League Baseball.

01:47:42.460 i would love to uh talk about this at length but uh i have to take another break chris thank you

01:47:48.140 very much i'll probably see you later online playing golf there goes chris his voice was

01:47:53.480 familiar no the good thing is chris knows a lot about baseball we will be right back in a matter

01:48:00.900 of moments don't go anywhere anthony cumia show john from memphis has a take on this uh torpedo

01:48:10.320 bat that's been taking over the conversation of baseball uh john what's up man ant man how we

01:48:19.000 doing ant man you painted yes uh great i'm doing good john how you doing man i'm okay i'm okay um

01:48:29.240 i was just gonna say i found it pretty interesting that the and i don't know if you touched on this

01:48:34.820 But the guy that made the torpedo bat is actually a physicist from MIT.

01:48:41.380 Yeah, yeah, Chris brought that up.

01:48:43.960 Why wasn't this known about, like, five, ten, a hundred years ago?

01:48:51.580 Couldn't answer that.

01:48:52.900 It seems like baseball is getting a little gimmicky lately.

01:48:55.860 You think it's a gimmick?

01:48:57.640 Put some asses in some seats to see who uses the torpedo bat

01:49:01.200 and hits them home runs?

01:49:02.520 Because Judge is, what is he, four home runs in two games?

01:49:08.500 Something like that?

01:49:09.260 He's doing very well with this torpedo bat.

01:49:13.740 If he's even using it.

01:49:16.500 Someone told me that Judge wants nothing to do with it.

01:49:19.160 Oh, okay, so he's not even using it.

01:49:20.960 So that should prove right there it has nothing to do with anything.

01:49:24.380 Judge is slamming these things.

01:49:25.880 He's already almost at a record for home runs at the beginning of the season.

01:49:30.720 so i don't know it's like two guys are using this torpedo bat and uh it's making all kinds

01:49:38.620 of controversy yeah yeah volpey and someone else yeah yeah um but uh but if i can i would uh i

01:49:47.640 would wanted to tell you a story uh touching back on your point about women's uh women and men's

01:49:52.900 sports if i can't really quick topic i get you go ahead john okay really quick so my buddy is

01:49:59.700 really into the jujitsu and the muay thai and all those combat sports and everything and um and he

01:50:06.020 really wanted me to go to his gym and learn all this stuff so i did and there's this girl there

01:50:11.800 you know the uh the girl boss you know uh you know i can do anything a man can do oh yeah i know the

01:50:18.560 story of course and um and she's there and and you know she's a second degree black belt whatever

01:50:25.200 that is and and she's throwing yeah for a girl a secondary black belt for a girl yeah yeah exactly

01:50:34.280 whatever yeah i think it sounds more made up than anything go against go against rogan have her go

01:50:40.180 and roll with rogan and see how that works out that black belt well i mean she saw me and i don't

01:50:47.020 know if it's because she could tell i was a beginner or if she just wanted to impress you

01:50:51.220 know the people around but you know she she called me out she wanted to go and you know i wasn't

01:50:57.120 experienced at all i was a nothing belt so you know i didn't know what i was stepping into

01:51:01.300 and we start to roll and she could not pin me as hard as she tried yeah and i was and i was

01:51:08.220 completely inexperienced that i just you know that was when the point really was hammered home

01:51:13.380 that um that that you know as hard as they try it'll it'll never be equal and um and it's

01:51:21.220 embarrassing but it's such it's such basic human anatomy it's human biology and anthropology

01:51:31.260 it's just you know i i you ever have a girl that goes come on i'm resume i'm resume i'm resume

01:51:40.640 and you're like all right and you're just standing there and it's like i picked up luggage uh easier

01:51:47.960 that it's nothing it's so you push and you kid with them and then you just slam them down on

01:51:54.740 the table it's like ah yeah what do you mean you can't beat me it's just basic humanity human

01:52:03.620 anatomy i i don't know where uh where they come off with this nonsense but uh thank you john

01:52:10.460 Memphis, huh?

01:52:11.120 How's Memphis looking these days?

01:52:13.740 Oh, Anthony, it's rough.

01:52:15.840 I hear you, man.

01:52:17.200 It's terrible.

01:52:18.860 I'm originally from Newark.

01:52:20.800 Oh, so you upgraded.

01:52:23.140 You upgraded.

01:52:27.480 I think that it fits the bill as being worse.

01:52:30.060 I might be wrong.

01:52:31.460 All right, John.

01:52:32.460 I love your job, buddy.

01:52:33.720 You're doing a great job.

01:52:34.940 Thank you, John.

01:52:35.980 Keep your head on a swivel.

01:52:38.100 Oh, my God.

01:52:38.820 All right, one more about this ridiculous bat thing.

01:52:43.020 Michael from Manhattan.

01:52:45.580 What's up, Michael?

01:52:46.560 Yes, hello.

01:52:48.260 I'm enjoying your show.

01:52:50.440 Thank you.

01:52:51.020 This whole discussion reminds me of the George Brett incident, the bat tar.

01:52:55.140 The corked bat or the tar.

01:52:57.440 That was targate or corkgate?

01:53:00.340 There's always a gate.

01:53:01.180 I don't know, neither, neither.

01:53:03.280 What happened was Billy Martin knew that the rule was a little bit broken

01:53:10.540 by the amount of pine tar and how far it went on the bat.

01:53:14.260 Right, right.

01:53:14.840 It was too high up on the bat or something.

01:53:17.360 And then he comes out, and he talks to the umpires,

01:53:20.880 and they call him out, and George Brett, who used to be a football player,

01:53:25.600 he comes out and they had to restrain him,

01:53:27.540 and then the headquarters decided to play the game again,

01:53:33.680 and then the Royals won the game.

01:53:36.840 And in addition to this, I have a soupy sales joke

01:53:40.400 that is probably borderline, but there's nothing dirty in it.

01:53:44.900 When he went to a baseball game, he kissed his girlfriend

01:53:46.960 between the strikes, and she kissed him between the balls.

01:53:49.840 All right, I got it.

01:53:50.880 It's a baseball vernacular.

01:53:53.280 I understand.

01:53:54.100 Yeah, it's a good joke.

01:53:54.620 I thought you'd appreciate that.

01:53:55.660 Thank you, man.

01:53:56.680 it goes michael i uh i can't help but think that this torpedo bat thing with the yankees especially

01:54:04.220 it falls right into the costanza wheelhouse this is so seinfeld like when costanza was working for

01:54:13.120 the yankees the story would have to be that kramer knows some brilliant guy at mit and tells george

01:54:23.040 that he developed a new bat so Kramer gets the bat from his friend at MIT gives it to George who

01:54:29.440 gives it to the Yankees and they start hitting home runs but then of course something goes wrong

01:54:35.360 and it turns into a complete catastrophe for George the Yankees and everyone else involved

01:54:42.340 that's my take and I'm sticking with it uh Tim Walls who could be clown of the week

01:54:52.340 every week this guy i don't know what he's doing how do you start running for president

01:55:00.620 uh two two months three months into the current president's tenure trump is going to be president

01:55:09.140 for four more years give or take and tim wallace is out campaigning i don't know what else you

01:55:19.800 could call it no one wants to hear from this guy but he's out campaigning so tim walls says uh this

01:55:28.900 is a great clip he says the democrats everything he says is ridiculous the democrats should have

01:55:35.000 owned their liberal policies now didn't they isn't that why they lost the election because they did

01:55:47.880 own every one of their garbage liberal policies everything the whole drag queen story hour

01:55:59.060 the wide open borders the the uh uh ally their allies were the the worst of the hollywood

01:56:09.760 and Washington Beltway liberal criminals.

01:56:16.020 But for some reason, Tim Walz thinks that the mistake the Democrats made

01:56:24.380 and the reason that Camilla and him did not win the election

01:56:31.220 was because the Dems didn't do enough to own those those garbage policies that everyone hated.

01:56:43.720 And here, look, you don't believe me. Here's Tim Walz actually saying it. Let's listen to Tim.

01:56:50.220 That our strength is our diversity. We've been talking about this for years as a country of

01:56:56.040 immigrants and we let them define the issue on immigration. We let them define the issue on DNI,

01:57:02.100 DEI, and we let them define what woke is. We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't

01:57:09.560 bold enough to stand up and say, you damn right. We're proud of these policies. We're going to put

01:57:13.900 them in and we're going to execute them. Are you out of your mind? Like that was the problem? Yes.

01:57:24.220 Yes. Yes. Trump, the Republicans, conservatives, the right wing. We defined DEI. We defined all of those things accurately.

01:57:38.200 You don't think for the four years of Biden, Harris and then the campaign of Harris walls that they didn't define what their position was on these issues? Of course they did.

01:57:53.460 it made them lose that's exactly what it was this guy is running around like the number one

01:58:01.900 candidate i can only imagine look i have to imagine that that some democrats are looking

01:58:09.880 and going why is this this you ever see a tire come off a car and it just rolls down the highway

01:58:19.640 and it's people trying to avoid it and it hits the median and that's just jets into traffic again

01:58:26.500 that's tim walls and the democrats are like what did it why what is this guy doing

01:58:33.960 first of all no one starts a campaign right after the opposition wins the election you want things

01:58:43.700 to die down of and especially if you were the vice presidential candidate go away for a little

01:58:51.020 while put your head in the sand disassociate yourself with camilla harris and and barack

01:58:59.340 obama and all those policies that obviously failed miserably as your presidential vice

01:59:07.120 presidential platform this guy's coming out of the gate like everything they said was gold and

01:59:14.800 somehow no one heard it it's brilliant what an idiot he's just an idiot

01:59:22.880 uh avi avi in the great garden state of new jersey avi what's up anthony i cannot believe

01:59:31.300 the day has come that you are back on terrestrial or in radio in general i am super hyped you you

01:59:37.800 don't believe it how about me i get it my friend congratulations and it's appointment radio for me

01:59:47.740 on sundays going forward and i've been listening to you on your compound show for years and i'm

01:59:54.280 not old enough to say i listened before that but you are truly one of a kind and god bless you man

02:00:00.180 I do appreciate hearing that, and thank you.

02:00:04.540 Back in the old days, Avi, I used to be on a shock-shock radio show.

02:00:10.240 Give me my elixir.

02:00:12.360 Thank you, Avi.

02:00:13.680 I do appreciate that you are listening.

02:00:17.460 It's such an odd thing for me because I'd been out of broadcast radio for so long,

02:00:22.440 and like I said, Internet stuff and podcasting,

02:00:26.380 it's such a different animal than broadcast radio.

02:00:30.180 And it's when when people talk about things like riding a bike, when it comes to radio, you better know how to ride that bike because people say, you know, it's like riding a bike.

02:00:42.240 You just get back on and you ride. And there are certain circumstances in broadcasting where that comes into play.

02:00:51.580 But boy, everyone will know if you can't ride that bike. So you you better be able to do it.

02:00:58.280 leon i love leon leon from the bronx leon how are you doing my friend i'm excellent how are you

02:01:06.280 sir been a while leon calls my internet show every so often and i appreciate his input leon

02:01:12.420 what's going on man i'm just curious as to what the end game is for this transgender

02:01:18.420 sports because there are no leagues that women play in right to my knowledge that have

02:01:25.760 transgendered athletes like i have never seen a transgender wmba player i don't believe we have

02:01:32.040 any in soccer so what is the end game of messing with female sports i'm just curious i i think a

02:01:40.500 great question too but i think it has to do with uh what they were doing before this trump

02:01:47.080 presidency we get in two years into this trump presidency i really think all this will be gone

02:01:53.740 a distant fossil of the past this was used to to make power plays in certain areas like the

02:02:04.000 democrats the liberals they used transgender people to try to i don't know intimidate

02:02:12.640 uh get other things passed by using this as a distraction they don't care i can't imagine

02:02:20.860 There's actually a Democrat politician that gives the flying you-know-what to anything having to do with transgender women playing with women.

02:02:32.360 It's just there's a good ploy that they could use to try to get other things, a negotiating tool.

02:02:39.220 But by destroying an institution of female athletics to prove what point.

02:02:47.140 Oh, yeah.

02:02:47.860 Well, they don't care.

02:02:48.880 That's just it.

02:02:49.580 Leon, how many times have you seen these people, Camilla and Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters, all of them come up and here's what they talk about, how much they care.

02:03:05.060 We care about the American people here on the Democrat side.

02:03:10.420 We care about feeding children.

02:03:13.400 We care about jobs.

02:03:15.360 They don't care.

02:03:16.520 I don't care about my own family as much as they profess to care about total strangers.

02:03:22.440 And I adore, I adore my family.

02:03:26.460 But they don't, to, to, to buy into them getting on TV and looking at Chuck Schumer's goddamn face and saying, this guy cares about anyone but himself.

02:03:41.700 It's all garbage. It's all lies. And it goes to everything. The women, the transgender in women's sports, the tax money, like anyone would be cheering.

02:03:57.080 If you generally didn't pick sides, Democrat or Republican, you'd be cheering that anyone was looking into where is my tax money going and going to to some nonsensical programs half the world away that have nothing to do with me.

02:04:15.700 And anyone would want that. But they look you straight in the camera, you know, by proxy into your face and lie and say it's a bad thing.

02:04:27.080 So my quick next point would be, what is it that they are seeing that they think they're doing good that everybody else is just so oblivious to?

02:04:40.480 Like Jasmine Crockett, I look at her and I'm listening to her and I'm like, who's buying this outside of, you know, the uneducated masses?

02:04:52.560 And I believe that even some of them have to be going,

02:04:55.740 dang, this girl really is really ghetto.

02:04:57.960 Like, I'm really trying to get my life together,

02:05:00.220 but she's even making me look bad.

02:05:01.960 Like, what do they see that anybody else doesn't?

02:05:06.020 Leon, the greatest clip of her is when she was just out of college, I think,

02:05:10.820 and she is speaking so articulately and wonderful, like a Huxtable child.

02:05:16.800 She's a straight-up Huxtable, dude.

02:05:18.420 I love black people like that because I go, God almighty, just go get you a cardigan.

02:05:24.680 And, you know, it is absolutely ridiculous.

02:05:28.640 Leon, me and you have spoken because, you know, you're a black man in the Bronx, New York.

02:05:33.940 Yes.

02:05:34.460 And you get embarrassed by some of the stuff you see.

02:05:39.820 And I get like, I feel bad saying some stuff because I'm like, there's Leon.

02:05:46.060 Leon has a job.

02:05:47.500 Leon has responsibilities.

02:05:50.240 Leon does what he needs to do to be a productive American in America.

02:05:57.200 And I can't imagine having such a large swath of people that are going to be me.

02:06:04.180 Like people are going to see it as me just screwing up by the numbers.

02:06:09.240 And I have to go, oh, God, it's not me for the love of God.

02:06:13.820 Please don't look at me like that.

02:06:15.980 I have now perfected the Patrice scrunch.

02:06:19.460 If you ever met me in person and we were outside for five years,

02:06:22.800 my face is turned up completely because of everything that I'm seeing on a

02:06:28.360 regular basis.

02:06:29.840 I'm just completely to the entire world right now.

02:06:33.760 Like into the woods I go and away from society,

02:06:37.640 it sounds like the most peaceful thing in the planet.

02:06:40.360 So I don't have to deal with anybody.

02:06:42.300 Hang in there, Leon.

02:06:43.960 Hang in there, brother.

02:06:44.880 i love it we're sorting this all out we're sorting this all out i don't know we got enough time for

02:06:52.840 it but we're gonna try have a good one leon take it easy man yeah leon i've spoken to leon so many

02:06:59.560 times and he's so like on the money and you know i've been you know i've been called to the carpet

02:08:05.260 I would think you'd come out and talk about all those wonderful things you had planned.

02:08:09.480 And just because you lost the presidency doesn't mean you can't keep doing those amazing things you would have done as president.

02:08:18.160 Hello there.

02:08:20.820 Hello there.

02:08:21.820 All right.

02:08:39.240 how you doing man how about the old crew coming back like the dice man jay more man

02:08:46.520 you know in time i'll be honest with you and and there are some comics i don't know about

02:08:53.280 where they stand with me i've been in some very big controversies as far as show business

02:09:00.840 broadcasting radio podcasting goes so a lot of these guys in entertainment they want to steer

02:09:07.700 clear of controversy they don't want to upset another guy that might prevent them from getting

02:09:14.340 uh a job somewhere so i don't know i'm reaching out i'm reaching out to a few people and a few

02:09:22.680 people have reached out to me and i'd gladly have them on but uh you know i think i'm in a

02:09:28.540 a healing phase here where people have to see what I'm doing here on

02:09:34.960 broadcast radio and realize,

02:09:36.660 Oh,

02:09:36.800 he's not just going off like that maniac that,

02:09:41.400 that he could be.

02:09:42.440 So we'll see.

02:09:43.880 We'll see,

02:09:44.480 Billy.

02:09:45.620 Great show,

02:09:46.540 Anthony.

02:09:46.820 Thanks for being on.

02:09:47.540 Yeah.

02:09:47.900 Thank you,

02:09:48.600 my friend.

02:09:50.280 I do appreciate it.

02:09:52.200 And I really do.

02:09:53.620 i was uh watching this this country singer guy morgan whalen is it whalen i because if you're

02:10:05.940 going to be a country guy with whalen in your name spell it like whalen jennings even if your

02:10:11.340 real name is spelled w-a-l-l-e-n that's whalen or whalen i don't know the story just hit me

02:10:20.120 i i'm not sure but he's getting crap for walking off the stage during that end of the saturday

02:10:28.500 night live music he was the musical guest the host gets up you've seen it everybody thank you

02:10:36.340 so much we'll see you next time and then the snl music starts up and this guy uh morgan whalen just

02:10:45.600 left the stage he walked forward right past the camera it looked very very awkward but um

02:10:54.280 it it i it couldn't really i couldn't tell if he was mad or or he wanted to make a point

02:11:04.140 or anything like that it just seemed like he's a country guy who wanted to get the hell out of

02:11:12.880 new york and he did post a uh tweet right after and he put uh get me to god's country

02:11:23.960 it was his private plane at the airport which you know how many private planes fly you to god's

02:11:30.560 country i think it might be a little hypocritical perhaps but uh he left the stage and people are

02:11:37.000 freaking out like he's snobby he didn't want to uh celebrate with the rest of the cast but if

02:11:43.080 you're a country guy and i don't even know where he's from but you're a country guy

02:11:47.600 you can't want to stay there a second longer than necessary he probably had to stay in new york

02:11:56.060 uh for a week to do the show and yeah he's around the scum of the earth when he could be

02:12:08.720 in his own hometown with wonderful people friends and family so i hold no uh ill will

02:12:14.820 toward morgan whalen for walking off of the uh is it the first guy first musical guest or host

02:12:21.800 that's ever walked off the stage i don't know anyway good for you morgan we'll be right back

02:12:27.340 anthony cubia show if you don't think we are screwed as a nation and need to open up greenland

02:12:35.580 to a just new america a a 200 year old version of america an america that people could just come in

02:12:45.660 They're faced with all kinds of horrors and hardships and they build stuff and in probably not even that long because the technology is out there.

02:12:57.720 They don't even have to invent the technology.

02:12:59.940 They just have to figure out how to incorporate it into what they do.

02:13:04.380 It would be an amazing place.

02:13:06.140 Probably the greatest, the greatest place on Earth.

02:13:10.300 Greenland will become the greatest, greatest American state.

02:13:15.660 canada can go screw but uh right when you start thinking that you see things that are just like

02:13:23.200 what are we doing what the hell are we doing as a nation oregon now we all know the pacific

02:13:33.280 northwest is a bastion of scum there are probably some places like new york you look at new york and

02:13:41.200 think oh liberal uh new york sucks but then you look at a political map and realize there's a lot

02:13:48.040 of red in the state and you go upstate new york and a lot of people are pretty cool

02:13:53.660 unfortunately the city and albany and and some of these other uh areas are very liberal which means

02:14:04.140 you know they suck oregon uh another one of these places that like get i would almost said get your

02:14:13.740 you know crap together uh this is real if you decide you want to take your clothes off

02:14:24.240 And walk around any town or city in Oregon, totally naked, in front of a child, walking on the property of the parent of that child.

02:14:44.020 Go ahead.

02:14:45.700 You won't be arrested.

02:14:46.960 I can't believe this actually happened.

02:14:51.040 Listen to this clip.

02:14:52.300 it's a gentleman talking with the cop he's the father i don't know how he's not arrested

02:14:58.540 for murder i don't know how he didn't kill the guy that walked up to his child naked uh

02:15:07.200 and then he tells the cop like isn't there a law and the cop gleefully informs this gentleman that

02:15:15.260 No, there's not. It's totally legal to do this. Have a nice day. Are you out of your mind? Listen to this in the state of Oregon. Someone can walk up to your two year old kid completely bare naked. And that's not a crime, even if it's on your property. Correct. Well, so it's trespassing. But what I'm saying is there's no laws against the actual nudity portion of it. So you can expose yourself to children in Oregon.

02:15:41.280 again if if you're not doing it for sexual gratification or the gratification of somebody

02:15:49.540 else yes you are allowed to walk around in public naked on private property this is where i live and

02:15:54.180 someone just came and exposed themselves to my two-year-old boy and this officer is saying that

02:15:57.760 it's not a crime so a naked person came up onto my property here approached my two-year-old kid

02:16:03.700 completely naked which i ran over to him and covered his eyes so he wouldn't see my obvious

02:16:09.880 thought is to call 9-1-1 as someone's indecently exposing themselves to my child on my property

02:16:14.800 at what point did this become a normal and acceptable thing to do the cops will literally

02:16:19.440 do nothing about it they're basically saying we have to wait for that person to do something more

02:16:24.600 serious to your kid before we can intervene who who decided this you you have representatives

02:16:34.560 and they're supposed to legislate and make laws that are in the best interest

02:16:42.420 and within the community's values.

02:16:46.640 You just go up and go, a bunch of people vote and say, this is what we want.

02:16:52.820 How the hell did this one slip past where a politician goes, you know what?

02:17:00.980 I think it's good if a nut perverted piece of can walk up to a young child on someone's property, expose themselves and walk away with impunity because we don't want a law against that.

02:17:19.400 And then they just keep getting voted back in office.

02:17:24.620 And the law isn't repealed.

02:17:27.800 how is this a good thing and this is just a microcosm of the bigger picture

02:17:34.240 i don't know of many laws that are based on representing our best interest yeah i i tell

02:17:45.000 a story about uh when i lived in roslin new york i wanted to chop a tree down you know like paw

02:17:52.340 angles on little house on the prairie grab my axe a few loogies in each fist and and i'm chopping

02:17:59.960 but for some reason i had to go through a political process like i wanted to put down

02:18:10.380 my grandmother because she was sick this is the world we live in unbelievable regulations

02:18:18.960 unbelievable laws that do not do anything in the best interest of the people that are voting these

02:18:27.560 people in office put that on a bill i don't know how it got passed i i assume people are very stupid

02:18:35.040 my default assumption of humans are that they are stupid just based on what i've seen

02:18:43.420 but how stupid do you have to be to vote for someone that will allow a nude man to walk up

02:18:55.460 to your child on your own property and there's no consequence for that are you out of your mind

02:19:03.700 how does this happen how does this happen but it does that's what happens

02:19:12.120 i got another clip i didn't get to tonight let's play adam schiff calling trump a liar

02:19:20.360 this is insane i mean adam schiff was quite literally censured for lying he said that

02:19:30.680 there was russian collusion they they came up with a resolution saying shift held a position

02:19:37.760 of power during trump's presidency and abused his trust by saying there was an evidence of collusion

02:19:44.580 between trump's campaign and russia uh it literally says representative ship purposely

02:19:52.520 deceived lied to his committee congress and the american people there is a a record of his lies

02:20:03.480 to this. Play the clip. Now, the interesting thing about Donald Trump that you need to

02:20:09.540 understand is Donald Trump doesn't claim to tell the truth. He doesn't pretend to be telling the

02:20:17.020 truth. Now, Donald Trump's argument is the argument of dictators around the world and is
