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

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

00:00:07.520 Not anymore.

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

00:00:12.820 That's right.

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

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

00:00:59.980 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:01:01.820 on the Red Apple Podcast

00:01:04.200 Network.

00:01:06.300 Yes, it is the Anthony

00:01:07.980 Cumia Show. Thank you for tuning in.

00:01:10.040 We appreciate the hell out of it.

00:01:12.880 And a beautiful Sunday.

00:01:14.260 I hope it is where you are listening

00:01:15.840 from. Gotta love

00:01:17.960 the weekends when it starts getting

00:01:19.960 nice. We've all been through

00:01:21.380 probably uh some crappy winters depending on where you live but uh it's nice you start feeling it

00:01:30.020 you go yep this is it this is the approach of summer and usually that's a good thing some of

00:01:37.780 the big cities meh not so much gets uh people get a little rambunctious in the summer in the city

00:01:45.520 but uh i had to do some of that what they call spring cleaning and there's only one way to do

00:01:52.140 it you get a giant dumpster like a dumpster that you find behind a factory and and you put it in

00:01:59.860 your driveway and you you fall out of love with everything you own do not no emotion attached to

00:02:07.200 it whatsoever you go through thing i was opening up boxes that i moved from new york down to south

00:02:15.260 carolina big boxes full of things lovingly protected and packed in the box and i'm thinking

00:02:24.280 if i didn't even notice i didn't have this at hand right there right next to me somewhere i

00:02:32.500 wasn't thinking about it for three years it's garbage whatever it is don't care it is getting

00:02:41.360 tossed so i've spent the the the better part of the weekend heaving things over the top of a

00:02:48.360 dumpster so uh but you know you that's the biggest thing yeah you i don't think anyone

00:02:55.500 i'm talking to is a hoarder they might be but uh there's a fine line a fine line between hoarding

00:03:04.280 and not wanting to part with your things.

00:03:09.580 Those are my things.

00:03:10.580 You open up a box and you look and go,

00:03:12.600 oh, but I remember using this.

00:03:15.860 I remember paying for this.

00:03:18.380 And if you're into it,

00:03:19.440 I guess there are some things you could put online

00:03:21.380 and sell if you want to become a salesman.

00:03:25.720 You want to become a salesman?

00:03:27.020 Start selling your stuff online,

00:03:29.040 opening accounts, shipping stuff,

00:03:31.500 answering complaints.

00:03:32.660 That's your prerogative too.

00:03:34.280 or you could pick it up and throw it away.

00:03:40.140 And I'll tell you, half the battle was Dallas, my Belgian Malinois.

00:03:48.240 You pick up anything and go to throw it away,

00:03:52.280 he will try to rip it out of your hands

00:03:54.200 and you spend half the time chasing him around,

00:03:57.640 dragging a box across the lawn.

00:04:00.100 But that's what I'm talking about, the fun.

00:04:02.840 it's it's it's spring summer's around the corner you're outside getting some color on that face

00:04:10.080 you still look like a vampire nothing worse than looking in that mirror in the middle of january

00:04:15.820 like what the hell is happening here finally out in the sun it's good it's a good thing 0.99

00:04:22.360 i just want to have people uh feeling a little good before we dump all this crap on them about

00:04:30.680 what's happening in the world uh i'll start i'll start with iran and i said this last week last

00:04:40.340 week i'm not really sure what's going on in iran uh i i don't know what i'll just i'm gonna call it

00:04:49.140 a war people have an argument of semantics but if missiles are being launched and people are being

00:04:55.660 blown up and stuff and believe me i don't care i'm just saying if that's happening i think it

00:05:00.740 qualifies as a war so uh i don't know what the war is i i i don't uh i have no idea what anyone

00:05:13.760 is doing over there and what it's supposed to accomplish and i hear a lot of democrats

00:05:18.660 and liberals and trump haters and everybody saying uh trump doesn't have a plan he doesn't

00:05:24.580 have an exit strategy everything was fine there wasn't a threat before he jumped in there hey i

00:05:31.680 don't know about that either i have opinions uh i i think uh over the course of history

00:05:37.780 iran has been a thorn in the world's side and uh unfortunately we have to deal with the middle

00:05:46.520 east we have to be part of that world i don't like it any more than you do folks but uh there 0.99

00:05:52.720 are certain places certain countries certain uh leaders that we just have to deal with 0.65

00:05:59.960 and it sucks and iran has always been uh a bit of a burden on uh the middle east especially 0.64

00:06:08.100 so if that was the deal you know well we got to deal with them decade upon decade they've 0.99

00:06:16.080 been a pain in everyone's ass over there uh if that's the case i don't care i'm fine with that 0.98

00:06:22.040 I don't mind. I don't mind if you want to go over there and carpet bomb. 0.99

00:06:28.200 But is that it? Or do we care about the Iranian people? 0.99

00:06:34.780 Because they're so wonderful and they were trying to rise up. 0.59

00:06:38.480 And when they protest, the government kills them.

00:06:42.420 They've killed anywhere between three. Three people and and 50,000 people.

00:06:49.740 I don't know.

00:06:51.320 I tend to not believe anything I see online anymore, that's for sure.

00:06:57.160 And the news?

00:06:57.900 I've believed anything I've seen on the news in quite some time.

00:07:01.240 So I don't know about that, but that would seem like a noble thing.

00:07:05.680 If you want to free people, we tried that numerous times over the course of history.

00:07:09.760 It doesn't seem to work very well.

00:07:12.540 It doesn't really work out the way everyone thought.

00:07:15.400 they'll be coming up to our soldiers

00:07:18.480 and putting roses in their gun barrels

00:07:22.720 to thank the Americans for

00:07:24.520 I don't see that 0.98

00:07:26.100 nuclear, that's gotta be it

00:07:30.180 we don't want anyone having nuclear bombs

00:07:34.100 unless they're part of the big nuclear bomb club

00:07:37.880 and even a few of them

00:07:39.200 we could probably do away with 0.53

00:07:42.480 so we can't have them having a bomb

00:07:45.120 and they were trying to build one.

00:07:48.500 We know this because I've seen reports,

00:07:52.440 just like I saw reports about Saddam Hussein 0.52

00:07:55.980 and his weapons of mass destruction.

00:07:58.240 Remember the ice cream and weenie trucks he was driving around? 0.85

00:08:03.620 He was driving around those all around Iraq, 0.96

00:08:06.380 and they were making chemical weapons in those things.

00:08:10.420 Little food carts. 1.00

00:08:12.640 We serve halal.

00:08:13.880 the food carts like you see in manhattan but um maybe that's it and that would be you know we'd

00:08:23.220 be saving the world from a cataclysmic event imagine going into the future and you see that

00:08:29.540 iran had nuked the the world and you had a time machine and you could come back to 2026 and go

00:08:36.420 please mr president you must listen they are going to nuke the earth so if that's the case

00:08:43.600 all right seems noble enough then there's the trump angle maybe trump is just pissed off

00:08:53.640 maybe he's getting a few years under his belt he was the president once he's been

00:09:00.340 kicked around by the democrats for a couple of decades almost now and he's just like screw

00:09:07.720 is all i need a punching bag and i go in there and lay some waste down uh so maybe that's it

00:09:17.500 and i you know i like trump but i'm not that big a fan to where i think uh our soldiers should be

00:09:26.820 fighting somewhere um because some guy is peeved at the way he's been treated over the course of

00:09:34.160 the years but i don't know that either that's just the the case that's the case that's that's

00:09:39.080 the problem i don't know what this war is about no one including donald trump has come forward

00:09:45.980 and done a press conference that definitively definitively lets the american people know

00:09:51.980 why the hell we're doing anything over there and i get it like i said i there are a couple

00:09:57.800 of those examples i just gave that i'm like yeah okay that seems reasonable i'm not saying i'm

00:10:03.840 against what's going on but i'm not saying i'm for it either i'm saying could someone give me a

00:10:10.000 definitive reason what we're doing over there maybe i do a lot of research i do a lot of reading

00:10:16.040 i watch a lot of videos on the topic and uh this is one military action that i just i really don't

00:10:25.520 have a clue what we're doing over there the straits of hormuz yeah they were open iran 0.52

00:10:32.060 And they're they're a-holes when it comes to every so often shutting it down or causing some problems over there.

00:10:39.940 But it was open. And then we get into this kerfuffle, if I may use such bold language. 0.98

00:10:46.200 And now it's a point of contention. It's open. It's closed. It's in America's hands. It's in Iran's hands.

00:10:53.280 It's they're blowing up boats from other countries. 0.98

00:10:56.220 We just shot a shell into the engine room of a ship, an Iranian ship, and I have no idea why.

00:11:07.860 So maybe, maybe if you want to give a call, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222, maybe you can enlighten me.

00:11:20.260 We'll switch roles here.

00:11:22.540 The talk show host needs to be enlightened as to what in the hell we are doing over there.

00:11:29.880 Yeah, they're bad.

00:11:30.740 I get it. 1.00

00:11:31.420 The Iranian government, bad. 1.00

00:11:33.980 I've lived a few years, and I've lived through some of Iran's greatest hits, as they call them. 0.99

00:11:42.320 We've seen a lot of our own soldiers, victims of Iranian terrorism, and they're not nice guys. 0.98

00:11:51.320 I get that.

00:11:52.520 But there's plenty of not nice guys around the world.

00:11:55.160 We're not just going in and dropping some hardware on them. 0.97

00:12:00.060 There's got to be some reason we're doing it now to Iran.

00:12:05.320 So I don't know.

00:12:07.160 Donald Trump, he had something to say.

00:12:10.700 And all right, I guess we'll take some calls after the break,

00:12:13.860 And I'll read you Donald Trump's message that he put on social media about taking out or boarding, capturing, boarding a cargo ship in in Iran, trying to get through our naval blockade.

00:12:31.040 So we'll be back with that, your calls and a hell of a lot more as the Anthony Cumia show continues.

00:12:37.500 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:43.860 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:50.260 The Anthony Cumia Show talking about Iran and why are we there?

00:12:56.460 What are we doing?

00:12:58.040 Is an end in sight?

00:12:59.800 I know there are peace talks.

00:13:02.500 Are they peace talks or are they other types of talks that's going on through Pakistan?

00:13:09.340 and uh there are some days trump's like very good great talks we'll be home in no time and

00:13:18.600 then other ones like we're wiping them off the face of the globe so again i don't know

00:13:25.000 uh so trump said uh today an iranian flagged cargo ship named duska duska nearly 900 feet

00:13:34.060 long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier try to get past our naval blockade

00:13:39.500 and it did not go well for them it's you just read you don't even have to do the trump voice

00:13:44.820 you just hear the trump voice when you read it uh the u.s navy guided missile destroyer

00:13:51.060 uss spruance intercepted the daska tuska in the gulf of oman and gave them a fair warning to stop

00:14:01.220 The Iranian crew refused to listen, 0.85

00:14:03.120 so our Navy ships stopped them right in their tracks 0.99

00:14:05.740 by blowing a hole in their engine room.

00:14:10.460 Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel.

00:14:14.960 The Tuska is under U.S. Treasury sanctions

00:14:18.600 because of their prior history of illegal activity.

00:14:21.500 We have full custody of the ship and are seeing what's on board.

00:14:27.320 No thank you for your attention to this matter

00:14:29.500 written in that statement but uh all right so we're we're blowing holes in their ship

00:14:37.000 ships if they go past the blockade and the blockade is because of sanctions treasury sanctions

00:14:47.040 or we don't want them moving weapons or we want them to leave the straits of her moves open

00:14:55.080 straight of her moves open does anyone know again that's my theme here with this topic tonight

00:15:03.600 not only do i not know does anyone know and as far as the timeline goes i understand

00:15:10.880 in military conflict it's very difficult to say a specific date that you'll be uh wrapping up

00:15:19.100 especially when it's it hasn't been that long relatively speaking but goals that's the big

00:15:28.820 thing with war is is to have strategic goals in place what do we want Iran to do what do we want

00:15:41.060 of them a complete uh did a complete deconstruction of their government 0.91

00:15:50.720 uh new a new a new leadership a new type of no more islam like what what do we want 0.99

00:15:59.920 the nuke thing that seemed to be very important we want to guarantee that they will not build 0.79

00:16:05.540 nuclear weapons and so how is that guaranteed i hear people whining that oh obama had that

00:16:13.360 and trump ruined it they had a guarantee from the iranian government that they weren't going

00:16:20.920 to build nuclear weapons really you believe them decade upon decade since the 70s they have done 0.89

00:16:29.620 nothing but lie and destroy and fund terrorism but uh yeah we're gonna believe them that an

00:16:38.960 organization like the united nations that cluster f would actually be able to go in there on a

00:16:47.220 regular basis and investigate do you know how big iran is do you know how desolate it is

00:16:56.420 mountains and caves and places to hide things everyone thinks you could just walk around like

00:17:03.880 a movie you walk around with a a gun and you go in here i think it's in here and there's a bunch

00:17:10.160 of scientists working on a nuke you there can be no guarantees and if that's the the game that

00:17:18.700 trump wants to play fine then you got to destroy all the potential nuclear sites and clean up the

00:17:28.060 mess and it just it does seem to be like ah it's not really our job world police you know

00:17:39.280 i don't think so anyway let's uh let's talk to joe joseph in brooklyn what's up my friend

00:17:47.580 How are you doing, Anthony? Listen, I've got bad news for you. Trump failed. He failed completely. You know why?

00:17:57.120 Why?

00:17:58.040 He hears that 40,000 people, 50,000 people were killed by the government of Iran. They're own people, right? 0.84

00:18:05.820 What does he do? He doesn't do the key thing you've got to do. You've got to arm the people of the country. Let them fight.

00:18:13.300 Otherwise, there's going to be another 50,000, 100,000 more dead, guaranteed.

00:18:18.320 How do you live with something like that?

00:18:20.060 In the Revolutionary War in this country, common people grabbed their long rifles and left their occupations and went to fight alongside the Revolutionary New American Army. 0.93

00:18:32.680 You need to do that.

00:18:33.860 You get a bunch of helicopters.

00:18:35.620 You get these huge helicopters, rifles, pistols, and ammunition.

00:18:40.760 You drop them in the major residential areas.

00:18:43.300 They pop open on the ground. People got the guns. That's the only way. Let them fight.

00:18:49.420 I understand that, Joe. Let me just bring up. I'll play the devil's advocate. Yeah.

00:18:55.460 What if what if they don't really want to fight? What if the people are either scared or they don't really care?

00:19:04.240 We've had this situation. We have had proxy wars.

00:19:07.120 We've been involved with wars that sound very similar to what you're talking about.

00:19:11.900 But, you know, Vietnamization was a big thing in the Nam where we had to get the South Vietnamese.

00:19:18.580 They want to be free. They want to fight. It turned out they really didn't.

00:19:22.800 Our illusion and delusion at times is that we we can figure out what these people want when they're under the boot of an oppressive government.

00:19:33.180 And if we just throw them some weapons, they'll pick them up and start fighting.

00:19:36.500 The Revolutionary War worked because the Americans, they wanted to be free.

00:19:43.060 They wanted to fight England.

00:19:45.140 They wanted their own country. 0.97

00:19:48.040 I don't really think any of these people in any of these Middle Eastern countries give a crap about how they live and what oppressive government they live under.

00:19:58.120 There might be a small segment of protesters that are easily squashed by the government, but I don't think they're picking up weapons to fight an oppressive government. 0.94

00:20:08.480 They just don't have the heart.

00:20:11.340 They have no weapons.

00:20:12.640 What do they got?

00:20:13.300 They got sticks and stones?

00:20:15.000 You get blown away.

00:20:16.420 You get blown away on the spot.

00:20:17.700 Then you get a proxy war, and then China and Russia join in, and then we're funding the other side, and it's more money, and then we've got to send people in to help them. 0.99

00:20:29.480 It always escalates, and we're always the bad guys, and we wind up getting our asses kicked. 0.96

00:20:38.400 I get you, though. 0.98

00:20:39.440 Can I speak?

00:20:40.560 Yeah, what's up?

00:20:42.200 The point is, there's something else there.

00:20:45.280 I've got to tell you.

00:20:46.060 We've got 30 countries all over the world.

00:20:50.580 In the Middle East, there's no stranger to me.

00:20:52.420 I got you.

00:20:54.160 The IRGC and the Mullahs got something in their back pocket.

00:20:57.780 I'm going to tell you.

00:20:58.840 Could be.

00:20:59.580 Could be.

00:21:00.720 They're going to drop canisters of gas.

00:21:02.720 They're going to wipe out the whole civilization themselves.

00:21:06.320 They think that there's no hope. 0.63

00:21:08.280 God forbid, Joseph.

00:21:09.720 God forbid.

00:21:10.520 Thanks for the call, buddy.

00:21:12.740 Boy, that took a tragic turn, didn't it?

00:21:15.520 canisters and that's i guess why we're there i don't see i don't want to get into any and not

00:21:22.560 that i was getting into an argument with joe but i don't want to get into arguments with people

00:21:26.480 over well screw that and screw trump or trump's awesome and screw israel and that i i just want

00:21:34.020 to hear the reasons i'm not arguing anything anyone's saying the whole thing i started when

00:21:39.260 i uh started the show was i don't know and i asked the uh callers to maybe enlighten me so maybe we

00:21:45.860 can uh we can we can do it that way but uh we got let me see scott scott venice florid diddy what's

00:21:54.820 up hello scott i gotta kind of i'm off topic but i have a hypothetical question for you

00:22:02.800 right what what's one or two things you wish our founding fathers would have done differently

00:22:08.240 when they were forming our government how about taking a little more time writing those um

00:22:14.260 those rights in the bill of rights how about clearing them up a little and not leaving them

00:22:18.640 so vague how about that we have the right to bear arms absolutely definitively and no liberal piece

00:22:26.060 of garbage can take that right from you instead of uh a militia we need a second amendment

00:22:34.220 to have a interpretators i know i can't stand that part of it but uh you know maybe that's 0.91

00:22:42.760 maybe they did that on purpose uh and there's plenty of things they did do that have been

00:22:47.340 interpreted over the course of the years to not be uh what they meant they just the supreme court

00:22:53.980 twists it and turns it as do the people scott thanks man i gotta move on uh we could take a

00:22:59.160 quick break, and we'll be

00:23:01.180 back. More Trump and 0.69

00:23:03.280 psychodrugs. Yeah, 0.97

00:23:05.440 Trump and LSD next.

00:24:14.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:24:20.800 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:24:22.680 We'll go right to the phones here.

00:24:24.540 Maybe I'll get an answer.

00:24:25.560 why why the hell we're in iran and what we're doing what we hope will happen chris from beth

00:24:32.840 page long island what's up chris hey anthony um i think they made it pretty clear whether in there

00:24:39.260 uh they said trump said and netanyahu that iran is not allowed to enrich more than 60 percent of

00:24:46.200 they were getting worried about the enrichment and they want that stuff you're not allowed to do it

00:24:50.180 You can go from 60 to 90, they say, in a heartbeat, and they were getting very close to enriching, and that had to be stopped.

00:24:58.340 That's number one, and that's the key reason we went in there.

00:25:01.040 If Iran wasn't enriching any of this that could potentially make nuclear weapons, we wouldn't be there, and I don't think Trump would be there.

00:25:08.860 Trump doesn't really like war, no matter what people say, and your previous caller, I have to totally disagree with him.

00:25:14.700 He's saying, oh, arm the citizens, and they'll rise above.

00:25:18.000 how's that worked in ukraine you know tons of uh that's still a stalemate for four years so

00:25:23.940 i disagree with the guy that trump is failing i like everything trump's doing here i do they

00:25:28.520 the iranians should not be allowed they have no even hitler i hate to say this even hitler

00:25:34.800 had allies he had italy and japan fighting with him uh yeah this country is it's one against the 0.77

00:25:42.600 world basically and i know china's sneaky with them from time to time but at the end of the day 0.82

00:25:47.420 Everybody wants to see this regime go down, everybody, and it's going to happen. 1.00

00:25:51.460 Trust me when I say it's a year from now when I call you, we're going to look back and go,

00:25:56.660 it might take a while, but they're going to be done, this regime.

00:25:59.940 You know, they're already running out of money paying for the soldiers too, by the way.

00:26:03.740 And when you start squeezing them with money and they run out of money, guess what happens?

00:26:08.160 You know, they're going to start, they're going to be like, why are we fighting anymore?

00:26:11.760 And they're going to take the peace deal Trump's offering.

00:26:13.980 It's going to be a while, but it's going to happen, and they're going to squeeze them, trust me.

00:26:17.120 But, you know, that's that's why Trump's there. It's the uranium.

00:26:20.200 We cannot have them enriching it. And they they are the worst person for 47 years.

00:26:26.040 This has been going on. I'm 63 years old. I was sick when those hostages were there for 444 days.

00:26:31.760 I've been waiting for this all along. We are the worst that ever existed.

00:26:35.680 A payback would have been nice. But, you know something, Chris, what about the prospect?

00:26:40.860 what about the prospect of um a uh democrat what what if we get a democrat president and god 1.00

00:26:48.860 forbid a house and a senate where we go right back to kowtowing kissing the ass of iran and 0.99

00:26:55.680 what's going to happen 1.00

00:26:57.120 oh well there we go uh well i said it he could hear it on the radio

00:27:09.300 remember remember making a call on the radio the first time and uh you'd hear yourself talking

00:27:16.420 and it would confuse you but uh yeah that's all i'm saying what about democrats in office

00:27:24.280 we we've seen what they do with countries like iran boatloads of money no accountability do you

00:27:32.600 think anyone was keeping tabs on the nuclear proliferation deal that uh obama and iran

00:27:39.920 of course not of course not and then while i don't uh i'm not trying to uh make a an issue

00:27:49.900 with chris who just called but how the hell do we know what they were up to as far as their uranium

00:27:56.900 or plutonium levels what were they up to how did we know all i have to go on is that iraq

00:28:07.160 had weapons of mass destruction and we all saw how that turned out there's all there always seems 1.00

00:28:12.960 to be some ulterior motive for a war and uh we get it we get it all the time stupid america 0.99

00:28:21.080 We got to get our noses into everything. 0.99

00:28:24.880 I kind of liked Trump's first term.

00:28:29.640 You know, more could have been done.

00:28:30.840 I think he was just dipping his toes in the water at the time and listening to too many people.

00:28:38.300 But this is a little bit of a different Trump now, isn't it?

00:28:42.780 It really is. 0.98

00:28:43.920 I would like a lot more energy, time and resources spent on the United States of America, our country, tis of thee, because this Middle East thing is distracting. 0.53

00:29:04.840 all the other things that the democrats throw out there is distracting and we still have a boatload

00:29:11.800 of illegals here that are destroying the country we have rampant crime especially in the big cities

00:29:20.360 that is making uh the cities uninhabitable the high taxes the prices of everything that

00:29:28.920 Just all that stuff needs to be dealt with.

00:29:33.020 I remember as a kid, when I first started even listening to politics, you would hear about the Democrats and Republicans getting together and trying to hammer out some bill, some deal that was going to be good for the American people.

00:29:53.040 Most of these weren't extremist ideas.

00:29:56.480 the republicans and democrats worked together they hammered it out i remember reagan and tip

00:30:03.800 o'neill that was always a big thing reagan and tip o'neill would have their issues and then things

00:30:09.660 would get done i cannot remember in decades now a serious big piece of legislation that both

00:30:21.140 parties have signed off on we get a lot of executive orders uh but we we don't get

00:30:28.220 both parties agreeing with the people's will the people want this let's hammer out a deal and do

00:30:38.400 it doesn't happen it's every time they're doing anything it's that all right uh we're gonna run

00:30:45.140 out of money they got to come up with something oh they're going on recess now oh they signed this

00:30:50.320 intermediate uh interim bill what happened to hey this is a bill that will make things better

00:30:58.800 that isn't full of one side of the other's extremist programs that cost a boatload of money

00:31:06.200 and do nothing for the country when was the last time they don't even look at each other never mind

00:31:12.580 talk to each other anymore it's not like uh it used to be where they uh they were opponents

00:31:18.960 they were uh the each other's opposition but the greater good of the country really did seem to be

00:31:26.740 their primary goal there many many years ago now it's only party it's only how will this affect

00:31:34.300 my chance of getting elected how much money can i get out of this how can i screw the other side

00:31:40.460 And that seems to be where we're at.

00:31:45.300 Nothing is getting done.

00:31:47.100 Everything is one party against the other, the president against the other party,

00:31:53.880 the other party trying to imprison people.

00:31:56.780 And we walk around going, what do we expect to get done?

00:32:00.980 Nothing.

00:32:02.460 Eric Orlando, what's up?

00:32:05.760 Anthony, once again, a great show.

00:32:07.660 Thank you, sir.

00:32:08.320 Now, I wanted to call about, oh, crazy Joe that called earlier.

00:32:12.760 There was something he forgot to say.

00:32:14.800 Now, earlier this month on Fox, Trump, you know, the government tried to help, you know, with the Iraqi Kurds to try to get weapons into Iran using them.

00:32:23.780 But apparently they kept the weapons.

00:32:26.920 Uh-huh.

00:32:28.660 The government you're talking about. 0.99

00:32:31.120 Yeah, our U.S. government, I believe, was supposed to help, you know, go through the Iraqi Kurds. 0.76

00:32:35.820 they were supposed to go into iran behind the scenes and give them it's like you know it's like 0.88

00:32:39.740 they were making a deal with jerry lundergaard i promise we'll give them the weapons okay okay i

00:32:46.640 promise not talking about your word jerry yeah yeah it doesn't work that way like that's a movie

00:32:55.100 if you wanted to arm the general population of a country to overthrow the government

00:33:00.260 And do you know how many advisors have to be sent in people to train the people on how to use these weapons strategy?

00:33:08.100 You don't just go. It's not a red dawn where the Wolverines are going to come and pop up behind a hay bale and get you.

00:33:16.020 It takes organization and strategy and and knowledge and training.

00:33:22.440 I I don't think people understand we don't live in a movie.

00:33:26.620 mr eric no we don't yep all right buddy thank you anthony appreciate it yeah it would be nice

00:33:37.060 you know that's what a movie would be a big plane flies over parachute crates of arms down to the

00:33:44.540 people they pick them up they instantly know how to use them if it's like an american movie or a 1.00

00:33:49.460 netflix movie all the women are the best fighters little wafy girls are are uh uh spinning back 1.00

00:33:56.880 kicks on giant iranian soldiers kicking their ass throwing perfect grenade lobs into foxholes and 1.00

00:34:05.500 trenches that's how movies work and a sassy a big sassy black woman to uh run the whole show 1.00

00:34:14.200 oh we coming in there you ain't gonna have no place to hide the audience is like i love her 0.97

00:34:22.380 she's so sassy that's a movie real life in not so much doesn't really work that way it would be

00:34:34.120 nice though uh and and like i said we always end up being in the uh quagmire we end up in the

00:34:41.080 quicksand because you can't just arm people vietnam let's just arm the south vietnamese

00:34:49.240 and then ah we got to send some advisors in you got to advise them on how to do this

00:34:55.080 well the advisors are now in danger we got to send some marines in to protect the advisors

00:35:00.460 and then the marines go out on patrol and before you know it you got uh just about 60 000 dead

00:35:06.880 americans because we wanted to arm the the south vietnamese so don't always work that way

00:35:15.580 hey look who's on the phone susan how are you dear well my blood pressure has been elevated

00:35:23.580 quite a bit because this is my opinion uh on the the fact i heard president trump when he

00:35:31.400 addressed the issue that we were trying to get arms into the Iranian people

00:35:38.380 who already, you know, have expressed and sacrificed so many lives to overthrow.

00:35:47.560 So he said that they did that, and then he didn't say who or what,

00:35:54.560 but he said the arms were basically, I guess let's just use the word stolen,

00:36:01.400 now so how do we know maybe president trump said that and maybe the arms maybe we have a whole

00:36:08.960 operation there in iran that's been uh recruiting and army and training people and that's why the

00:36:18.140 longer this goes on because it is going to have to be the the very diverse you know people talk

00:36:25.520 about the Persians and whatever.

00:36:28.740 It's a very diverse, there's a lot of Jewish people that live in Iran.

00:36:32.680 So we don't know.

00:36:34.340 And I believe that, you know, President Trump has the armor of God and that Jesus does not

00:36:44.520 want to see slaughtering of innocent people.

00:36:47.420 And he said that we have an obligation to protect innocent people.

00:36:52.940 So I just feel like people keep praying and stop, stop, you know, making up stuff.

00:37:02.260 All right.

00:37:03.380 All right, Susan, glad to hear your take on this.

00:37:06.320 I appreciate it, Susan.

00:37:09.560 Susan always sounds like she needs a little nightcap before bed. 0.94

00:37:13.940 You know, she puts her little wool hat on and her feetie pajamas 1.00

00:37:19.100 and then maybe takes a little nip, a little bourbon, before she lays down.

00:37:24.300 But thank you, Susan, for the call.

00:37:26.300 Again, a totally different thing.

00:37:28.680 We got the nuclear thing. 0.99

00:37:30.720 We got Susan with some arms that were stolid.

00:37:34.860 But Fred, Fred, maybe Fred could figure this out.

00:37:39.820 Hi, Ant.

00:37:40.820 I finally got through it after all these months.

00:37:43.220 I tried.

00:37:44.080 It is you, Fred.

00:37:45.520 I saw Fred from Brooklyn, my good friend Fred from Brooklyn.

00:37:48.480 I've known Fred many years. Fred, can you explain the Iranian situation?

00:37:56.780 It's only my opinion, but I think the Iranian job is done already. 0.69

00:38:03.820 They killed all the Mullahs. They killed all the Ayatollahs. 0.97

00:38:08.440 They did everything they needed to do. They took control of the whole thing. 0.99

00:38:13.000 Now, it's a smokescreen. It's a clandestine issue.

00:38:18.480 that they get to any time they need to.

00:38:21.360 They throw it out there, and it takes over the press completely.

00:38:26.260 Whether he's arguing about the Pope,

00:38:29.200 whether he's arguing about the straighter removes, about oil,

00:38:34.440 there's one thing that Trump is doing here behind the scenes

00:38:40.000 that nobody is looking at.

00:38:42.600 So 5D chess again?

00:38:45.060 8D chess we're working on?

00:38:47.120 Well, there's a cartel. There's the Obama cartel that tried to ruin his life. If Iran tried to kill Trump in Pennsylvania, I guarantee you that the whole Obama is a machine nationwide.

00:39:10.340 He had two elected terms, and then he stole a third term, and that gave him a chance to infiltrate the entire American system, and they were running away with it. 0.95

00:39:22.920 They had us thinking men can go with women in sports and everything else, but he's picking them apart, and then he's throwing guys like Swarwell out there, and the news is looking at them, and then it's back to Iran,

00:39:37.700 And then he does something, and the stock market goes up 1,000 points.

00:39:42.540 But behind the scenes, he has one enemy who financed Iran, who sent pallets of billions of dollars to Iran.

00:39:51.480 Iraq, Hussein, Obama.

00:39:53.020 Who wanted to control the Middle East.

00:39:55.180 And that is the Obama cartel, who have their jackboots on every compromised politician left and right.

00:40:04.480 But Fred, doesn't it seem a little immoral to put American lives in danger and a few have been killed during these missions just to screw over Barack Hussein Obama?

00:40:21.780 No, it's not screw over Barack Obama.

00:40:25.460 He has a grasp on America that takes more than just elections to get out of.

00:40:34.480 he built a cartel man so we don't know we just don't know what's going on behind the scenes

00:40:41.500 but something is and we should just go ah let's see how it plays out you know i i agree with you

00:40:50.920 but um war isn't pretty we gotta we gotta dominate the area we gotta dominate the area

00:40:58.800 But behind the scenes, I mean, it's being used as a genius press, a blockade.

00:41:07.120 Any time something happens in Iran, Trump is in control of what's happening behind the scenes.

00:41:14.340 Believe you me.

00:41:15.460 He built a better cartel, a good American cartel with American values.

00:41:20.720 I guess we'll see.

00:41:22.700 History will show.

00:41:24.120 Fred, thanks for the call, man.

00:41:25.620 Feel better.

00:41:26.260 I know Fred is struggling with health issues and thoughts and prayers, not like the goofy way thoughts and prayers, actual thoughts and prayers to you, Fred.

00:41:36.500 There goes Fred from Brooklyn.

00:41:38.820 My God.

00:41:40.020 See, there's just so many different takes on this.

00:41:45.500 And that's the toughest part.

00:41:47.200 that was kind of what i was saying and and i wanted to see an example of it through people

00:41:55.360 calling in and saying why are we doing this and there's a mixture there's a whole uh

00:42:04.000 cavalcade of reasons because we really don't know and like i said it might be noble there might be

00:42:13.360 a very noble reason and some people are convinced as to what the reason is no this is it i know it

00:42:20.360 i was told it there's proof but still it's not a sure thing i do not know why we're there

00:42:28.580 i'm not saying that's a bad thing i'm not saying that that it's bad to be there because of that

00:42:33.100 but i would kind of like to know definitively what in the hell we are doing over there

00:42:41.640 Right?

00:42:42.880 I think so.

00:42:45.360 Stay on the line.

00:42:46.580 A lot of people calling in with this topic.

00:42:49.600 We'll stick on this for a little while, but we'll also go, like I said,

00:42:53.840 Trump signed an executive order for psychedelic drugs to be studied.

00:43:00.320 They might be able to be used for mental health.

00:43:03.980 And Joe Rogan was in the White House pushing LSD on Donald Trump.

00:43:10.740 We'll see what that's all about and plenty more when we come back.

00:43:16.200 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:43:22.500 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:43:29.380 It's the Anthony Cumia Show talking about Iran and Trump.

00:43:34.320 Why are we there?

00:43:35.320 I'm getting a lot of different answers to this.

00:43:40.280 I was checking on my social media over here on X.

00:43:43.980 Chauncey Hayden, he's over there in Ireland, a good friend.

00:43:47.660 He says it's about oil.

00:43:49.620 Oil is the heartbeat of the world. 0.99

00:43:50.800 Oil is what funds Iran's love of terrorism. 0.91

00:43:53.260 Oil controls the foreign wars. 0.90

00:43:55.440 Oil equals money equals power.

00:43:57.180 Trump wants control of the oil, thus control global ideology and economics.

00:44:04.540 The oil thing has been done so many times.

00:44:09.260 You'll have people say that the Iraqi thing was about oil.

00:44:12.300 Anytime we drop a bomb in the Middle East, Libya, Syria, everything's about oil.

00:44:20.440 Don't we have our own oil now?

00:44:22.280 Aren't we awesome with oil?

00:44:24.120 Aren't we filthy with oil now?

00:44:26.980 And we get along great with the rest of the Middle East, so it seems.

00:44:31.920 Saudi, they seem like they don't have any problems with us right now, this moment.

00:44:37.780 so i don't know iran uh i think iran kind of uh screws us if we cut off iranian oil

00:44:46.960 then our oil is worth more maybe that's what chauncey meant by that and uh doug evans uh on x 1.00

00:44:54.380 how does every hammered female boomer in new york manage to call your show every single sunday well

00:45:00.040 i don't know doug but i certainly i'm not going to be complaining about it seems uh it seems

00:45:06.840 Fine by me.

00:45:08.780 All right, this is a little weird.

00:45:11.220 Donald Trump, he signed an executive order.

00:45:15.100 There's the picture.

00:45:16.960 It's got an RFK Jr., Joe Rogan.

00:45:20.900 They're both behind Donald Trump, and Don is holding up that signature on one of his executive orders.

00:45:27.460 Trump assigned an EO to make certain psychedelic drugs more available to treat mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.

00:45:37.360 You know, I went through a stint of anxiety in my early 20s.

00:45:42.940 Out of nowhere, just this overwhelming feeling of dread and fear.

00:45:49.540 And you didn't know where it came from.

00:45:51.000 There was no reason.

00:45:52.460 And there was nothing you could do about it.

00:45:55.060 And that lasted like a couple of years.

00:45:57.460 until I just went, all right, whatever you're going to do, do it.

00:46:02.240 If this is going to be something that, you know, my head pops off

00:46:05.220 or I go crazy and I start running naked down the road going, blah, blah, blah,

00:46:09.500 just do it because I'm tired of it.

00:46:12.240 And it kind of took the power away from the anxiety.

00:46:15.580 I'd feel it coming up and I'd be like, yeah, and so, and that was it.

00:46:20.900 That was how I treated my anxiety back then

00:46:24.520 because there was really nothing to treat it. 0.99

00:46:26.100 and you didn't want to tell people your friends would call you a pussy like what's the matter 0.99

00:46:30.940 with you pull yourself up by your bootstraps they might even use the f word for not being very 1.00

00:46:37.440 manly so i kept that all to myself like a real man does shove that down bury it that's the healthy

00:46:45.960 way to deal with with issues uh let's see he directed 50 million dollars in federal funds

00:46:53.880 to make them more accessible

00:46:55.000 and ordered the FDA to fast-track a review of such drugs

00:46:59.260 as psilocybin and ibogaine.

00:47:05.880 Ibogaine and some weight.

00:47:08.900 Ibogaine.

00:47:10.460 Yep, he had Joe Rogan behind him.

00:47:16.480 And he said during the announcement,

00:47:18.800 Rogan said he had texted Trump.

00:47:20.900 how does that that amazes me that like my number and trump's number are right there in in joe rogan's

00:47:31.760 phone that's pretty amazing to me anyway i had to make it about me somehow during the announcement

00:47:38.080 rogan said he had texted trump uh about ibogaine ibogaine ibogaine and uh the president responded

00:47:44.900 It sounds great.

00:47:46.200 Do you want an FDA approval?

00:47:48.280 Let's do it.

00:47:50.000 So write to it.

00:47:53.200 I don't know.

00:47:55.560 I don't know about this one.

00:47:59.160 Oh, what I was going to say when I was talking about my anxiety is

00:48:02.220 I could not, in my wildest dreams,

00:48:07.320 imagine having anxiety and taking some hallucinogenic drug.

00:48:12.380 it stopped me anxiety stopped me from smoking weed back in the 80s it was the last time i smoked was

00:48:22.000 in the 80s uh because the thought of being high and getting an anxiety attack kind of a thing

00:48:29.660 was more frightening than anything get paranoid you start thinking of things think too deeply

00:48:35.700 into things when you're smoking now imagine you know popping some uh acid a mescaline or lsd

00:48:43.720 oh my god but they say the they the they people say that uh the studies have shown

00:48:52.500 i'm using all the catchphrases people have said studies have shown that uh these do work in

00:49:01.640 certain people with certain generalized anxiety disorders and other mental illnesses but um

00:49:08.660 i don't know they kind of legalized weed and uh now all you see are people walking down the street

00:49:16.300 high and uh i don't know i don't know if i want the nuts that are out there now to be drugged out

00:49:23.840 nuts on acid nuts but it's just uh to look deeper into it i got no problems about that

00:49:30.880 Donald Trump and Rogan working together.

00:49:34.140 Who the hell ever thought you'd see that day?

00:49:37.100 The President of the United States and Joe Rogan.

00:49:41.040 All right.

00:49:41.660 Don't go anywhere.

00:49:43.060 We will continue.

00:49:44.920 And let me see.

00:49:46.500 What do we got here?

00:49:47.760 Oh, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

00:49:49.420 We'll talk about that.

00:49:51.240 The teen mobs in Chicago getting a little crazy when we come back.

00:49:56.060 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:50:01.280 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:50:08.140 the anthony cumia show hope you're all doing well uh top of the show was talking about iran and

00:50:17.720 why we're there i i'm in a conundrum here i i can't figure out why we're doing anything

00:50:25.580 in iran not that there aren't reasons there just seems to be too many reasons and i think

00:50:31.840 the american people we should all know we should absolutely know the fact that i am not sure

00:50:38.940 i've heard many many reasons i've taken calls today during this show the past hour

00:50:44.680 and i've gotten different answers as to why people think we're there i want the president

00:50:52.960 our leadership the people that are doing this the people that have gotten us over there

00:51:01.180 to tell the american people what we're there for and what we're hoping to accomplish and when will

00:51:11.140 be done approximately like i said i know war is not uh it's not run on a clock schedule so

00:51:18.260 So let's talk to Kyle in old Virginia.

00:51:24.540 Boy, you guys got your hands full with that governor over there.

00:51:28.880 Oh, yeah.

00:51:29.780 We got an election Tuesday, and it's probably going to be for naught, but I'm voting.

00:51:35.540 Yeah, give it a whirl, man.

00:51:37.980 Yeah, I was going to say, you know, it's pretty complex,

00:51:41.400 but I would say that Iran is kind of a – they kind of helped out Russia.

00:51:47.240 They were especially during that the war. Yeah, they've been allies. Yeah. So so they've been, you know, going in there has been kind of putting a stop to any shenanigans that they could be helping Russia with.

00:52:00.160 But another thing is, is that they supply China with a lot of their energy, in particular oil, as you're as you had said previously.

00:52:09.640 So I think that by getting control of that and and, of course, the uranium and and the, you know, the various other things that humanitarian problems that were going on there, there's plenty of reasons to be there. 0.84

00:52:25.060 But really, it is money, oil and kind of choking out our enemies, the bigger groups, Russia and China. 0.59

00:52:32.060 So I think that's a big part of it. But it's it's a police action that's gone very successfully so far. 0.63

00:52:38.000 I mean, I must say, besides the gas prices, which I think is a small price to pay, killing off pretty much everything they have there and and giving them an opportunity to to play ball with us is, you know, I think it's fair game.

00:52:54.300 And, you know, and I'm not I'm not totally against the war, but I'm also not a fan of it either. 0.62

00:52:59.300 I mean, I just I just think that once we get out of that and we can kind of control the Western hemisphere or, you know, our side of the, you know, take care of Cuba, maybe even Greenland so that so that we have a little bit more security here, because if we don't.

00:53:15.900 And, of course, God forbid, a Democrat gets in office.

00:53:18.780 We could be looking at some very, very bad things in the future, the near future.

00:53:24.640 So that's what I wanted to say on the topic.

00:53:26.420 I don't know.

00:53:27.000 I'm just as curious to know.

00:53:29.240 But, you know.

00:53:30.300 Yeah, it would be nice if someone said that.

00:53:33.780 I don't know. 0.69

00:53:35.580 Some things I guess you can't say, well, we're trying to choke off China. 0.96

00:53:39.720 I guess you can't just come out and say that.

00:53:41.920 Some things have to be implied.

00:53:44.500 But all right, Kyle.

00:53:45.300 appreciate your take thanks man yeah see just getting all kinds of different uh people's 0.98

00:53:53.660 opinions and ideas and you know with vietnam it was the goddamn commies it was the commies 0.98

00:54:01.940 remember that no one wants a commie you you you they take one country and and 0.98

00:54:10.140 indochina and the rest of them fall like dominoes that's what we heard so we couldn't let even uh 0.95

00:54:18.740 one go down even though they we had been through korea not too long before that and that ended up 0.99

00:54:27.980 a stalemate and then we got right back into the same sitzki ishkin i don't know

00:54:34.460 crazy all right uh if you got any calls uh you want to make uh here's my buddy we'll take uh

00:54:42.920 joe hey curry what's up my friend hey and how's it going pal good good you want to talk about

00:54:49.880 iran uh yes i do i do now basically you were going over the wonders and the reasons of why

00:54:56.480 we're there basically what it is is how it started was is that netanyahu advised trump that he had

00:55:03.180 all the major players in one spot in Iran. Now, in previous administrations, they would go, well,

00:55:10.440 we can't do that. Trump is an action man, and he took them all out. Now, the reason they did is

00:55:16.100 for several reasons. Basically, the nuclear ambitions, we all know about that. We need to

00:55:20.720 stop that, and it needs to be stopped immediately. We need to get inspectors in. Regardless of how

00:55:25.760 that goes, we need to make an effort to get in there. Cyber warfare is also another major thing

00:55:31.920 where basically they've been attacking.

00:55:35.080 And, you know, our pal Vinny could tell you everything that's going on with that.

00:55:38.580 Economic mismanagement, you know, that whole region has been upset.

00:55:43.140 Also, another thing why the UAE isn't with us is that there was an interesting article in The Post a couple of months ago

00:55:50.440 saying that they're building the biggest buildings in the world and they're being built in the UAE.

00:55:55.780 And it's investment, not from private investment, but those governments, because they want billions, trillions, actually, of dollars put into that area for tourism and business.

00:56:06.420 Right. 0.88

00:56:06.760 And they cannot afford Iran stepping in on that. 0.99

00:56:10.580 Yeah, that loose cannon screwing everything up while they're trying to get tourism. 0.99

00:56:15.100 Exactly.

00:56:15.640 Also, another thing is what the gentleman also brought up before is oil going to Russia and to China, where we will have control of that, which means that we will bring China to the table in regards to Taiwan.

00:56:29.180 We could pressure Putin on the war with the Ukraine.

00:56:33.780 So it's kind of a bargaining chip with that.

00:56:36.220 and the straighter moves um they need to control that because they can't have iran stepping in

00:56:43.580 and stopping with especially they got to pay a toll it's a drunk doorman it's the doorman at

00:56:48.740 the club that's just as drunk and belligerent as the people inside yeah and and like i said that

00:56:54.400 other guy that called in that guy joe saying drop weapons what it's like archie bunker trying to

00:56:59.000 figure out how to stop hijacking hand out the heat is nobody no one's gonna pull out a rod if

00:57:07.600 everyone's packing heat yeah exactly no also another another thing with the length of the war

00:57:12.920 the war basically there is a certain amount of time that goes by before i have to believe it's

00:57:17.540 90 days before they have to go against congress but the key thing and this is what i preface on

00:57:22.240 my show is they gotta wrap this up before the midterms and it's got to be done quickly because

00:57:28.040 we're going into that cycle so it's a it's a very big game of chess that we're playing also

00:57:33.640 the reason why you're hearing well one day we can get through the strait the next thing we can't is

00:57:37.960 because they're negotiating with one set of officials there but it's not the radical set

00:57:43.360 so it's a game of chess that we got to play and the key thing is is that with oil you know people

00:57:49.720 are playing oh yes it's four bucks a gallon but yeah under this it's a temporary thing to free

00:57:55.560 oil to a lower position where under the biden administration it was just killing it because

00:58:00.320 they were going to um alternate sources yeah yeah that was we got to wait it out we got to be

00:58:05.880 patient with this all right all right i i like your take uh you know and like i said before

00:58:12.060 some things you can't just say you know we're trying to screw over china you know economically 0.99

00:58:17.460 they're the they're the idiot in the region that's ruining everybody else's uh plans uh in in in the 0.99

00:58:24.440 the uh the area so no you make a good point there joe and uh that's my buddy joe curry 1.00

00:58:31.020 thank you sir appreciate the uh the call yeah you know it could be a bunch of things 0.73

00:58:37.880 and it could be it could have been like joe said perfect timing hey look all these clowns are in

00:58:43.960 one room you want to slam a rocket down on them and then we can uh sort it out so maybe maybe 0.57

00:58:52.460 that's it i don't know but uh let's concentrate on something a little closer to home and by home i

00:59:02.420 mean new york my original birthplace and place of residence for many years until the democrats

00:59:10.340 destroyed it so badly that even i felt compelled to pick up and leave uh zorn memdani he loves

00:59:20.740 this taxing the rich thing not understanding that by the rich in new york city he's including a lot

00:59:30.480 of people that are basically working class they're not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination in

00:59:36.740 new york and then investors he wants to hit up people that have and this is hokal too that have

00:59:44.220 property in New York City and they don't live there. So penalize them. My God, you have a

00:59:52.100 building, but you don't live in it. Ah, we got to tax you. Why? Why is that? Does that make any

01:00:00.440 sense? Is there any reason why not living in an investment property? You take care of it.

01:00:06.540 God knows you're paying unbelievable property taxes on it. And that's going to the government.

01:00:14.220 But just because you have the building and you're not living there, then you should pay even more.

01:00:22.080 You know what that's going to do?

01:00:24.020 It's going to stop investment in real estate in New York City. 0.75

01:00:29.000 And they want that because the goal is for any building in New York City to be taken over somehow by the communist government of Zoram and Danny. 0.62

01:00:42.700 this is one of his plans if we could tax the people force them to sell their properties 0.66

01:00:49.720 i can't live here anymore this cost me too much money i'm selling my property and then they throw

01:00:55.340 a bunch of speed bumps and monkey wrenches into the business of selling your property we've already

01:01:01.220 seen what he wants to do you'd be waiting years to be able to sell your property still paying taxes

01:01:09.620 unless, of course, you want to go to the government,

01:01:14.140 the state and city government, and sell your property to them.

01:01:18.480 Then they could open up public housing.

01:01:22.800 And before you know it, the entire city of New York are projects 0.58

01:01:28.520 and illegals and Section 8. 0.98

01:01:33.720 and it's even more of a crap hole than it is as we speak right now oh yeah this is happening 0.96

01:01:42.980 and uh when we get back from the break we'll uh listen to mr mayor mamdani on how excited he gets 0.87

01:01:52.160 at the prospect of taxing people when we return it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast

01:02:01.160 network it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show and

01:02:11.480 uh want to talk more about zoran memdani and his love love of taxes the tax man uh this is uh

01:02:21.260 clip ac1 zoran memdani he's uh claiming that taxing the rich is successful and that people

01:02:29.280 leaving new york it's just some kind of as he put it imaginary exodus we see people leaving

01:02:36.280 i left i'm one of those people that new york loved having around uh i don't get a lot of tax

01:02:44.620 deductions um just you know i go out a lot i i spend money and uh i pay my taxes and i've made

01:02:53.060 money in my career god bless thank god and uh they chased me out the the unbelievable taxes

01:03:01.960 the restrictions on your basic god-given rights that they have taken away uh made me leave so i

01:03:10.980 guess i'm imaginary if this imaginary exodus is uh what zoran's talking about uh ac1 please

01:03:18.180 and so for all of the discussion of the imagined exodus that would take place were we to tax the

01:03:30.180 wealthiest new yorkers by the appropriate amount i say imagined because before i was a mayor i was

01:03:35.380 a state legislator and i was part of an effort to increase taxes on millionaires at that time

01:03:39.580 we were told the same thing then and what we find now is that we have more millionaires today than

01:03:44.280 we did at that time, even after having passed that tax. And so for all of that conversation

01:03:49.040 about this imagined exodus, we have to reckon with the very real exodus that we are seeing 0.94

01:03:55.240 in the city, an exodus of working class people, an exodus of those who cannot afford to live

01:04:01.500 here. And for many who work here, who now find their residence in Jersey City or in

01:04:07.020 Connecticut or in Pennsylvania, anywhere else where their dollar can go a little bit

01:04:10.360 further. And we've seen just in a snapshot from 2000 to 2020, the city lost 200,000 of its black

01:04:21.020 residents. That is the cost of inaction. And so that also speaks to the urgency of this conversation

01:04:27.280 and this advocacy. And it is a representation of the fact that while this is a global issue,

01:04:32.600 It is also very much a local issue here in New York City.

01:04:36.220 Can you get the, I mean, what, afford to live here?

01:04:40.860 So people are moving to the suburban areas of New York City because they can't afford to live in New York City,

01:04:50.120 and they commute to work, and problem?

01:04:55.440 Is there a problem?

01:04:57.540 I'll tell you what the problem is.

01:04:58.880 You've made it so expensive to commute that people can't even move to the suburbs anymore.

01:05:07.080 And you've made public transportation so dangerous and disgusting that people can't commute that way either.

01:05:16.420 But here's the real issue that I've had with plenty of politicians in New York,

01:05:23.880 and especially Zoram and Danny in the city as mayor.

01:05:28.880 Whoever said everyone and anyone needs to be able to afford to live in New York City?

01:05:36.720 It's a big city.

01:05:38.400 It's very hard to get goods in and out of New York. 0.99

01:05:42.360 The price of everything costs more in New York City because it's an expensive pain in the ass to get a loaf of bread in there. 0.97

01:05:51.120 To get beef and orange juice into New York. 0.95

01:05:54.820 it's a lot more expensive than it is to get it into the suburbs of new york and the real estate

01:06:02.360 as we know is insanely high and that used to be uh there used to be an equity in saying oh i have

01:06:10.820 offices in new york city i live on the upper west side of manhattan there was uh some equity in that

01:06:18.560 now no one cares everyone works from home and the price of real estate is still through the roof

01:06:27.920 rent a mortgage in a new york city building if you're buying in new york city it's unreachable

01:06:36.940 unless you're a multi-millionaire he talks about taxing millionaires has anyone seen

01:06:43.060 what a million-dollar property looks like in New York?

01:06:48.120 It's a fixer-upper at best.

01:06:53.500 It's a fixer-upper.

01:06:56.400 Everyone thinks, ah, you got your cigar in your mouth, your monocle.

01:06:59.480 Well, here we are, sweetheart.

01:07:01.820 My palatial million-dollar mansion.

01:07:04.780 It isn't that.

01:07:06.440 Not anymore.

01:07:07.200 you're talking 10 million dollars for something in new york city you want to buy something really

01:07:14.760 nice in new york city a million dollars nothing but he talks about a million dollars like it's

01:07:21.800 a million dollars back in you know 40 years ago but that's what this guy does he tries to

01:07:30.540 manipulate people afford to live here for some reason do you know anybody that has said uh we

01:07:38.260 need to make beverly hills affordable everyone should be able to live in beverly hills

01:07:44.200 no you can only live there if you've been lucky enough skilled enough talented enough

01:07:50.420 to earn the money it takes to live there same with new york and like i said you want people to

01:07:57.160 live in the suburbs of new york city but still come in and work in the city then don't tax the

01:08:05.600 hell out of them for driving in with their congestion pricing don't make the the subways

01:08:12.540 rolling prisons and mental institutions because that's what they are 0.70

01:08:17.800 these people are moving away you dummies there is an exodus they're not just moving to jersey

01:11:52.700 It's The Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:57.580 The Anthony Cumia Show. We'll get to Larry on Staten Island. Larry, what's up?

01:12:05.880 Hey, Ant. How are you? Good evening, brother.

01:12:08.160 Good, good. Doing great.

01:12:10.540 I want to comment on the first hundred days of the New Testament of Sir Ramadami.

01:12:19.980 Gotcha.

01:12:20.280 I was watching the other day, and this is the second time I saw an Ant.

01:12:25.260 Here's a guy, he's at a rally with 32BJ, a union that is potentially about to strike against the building owners.

01:12:40.680 These are the doormen and maintenance people in residential buildings in New York City.

01:12:46.640 Correct.

01:12:48.060 And here he is, waving the pom-poms, cheering everybody on.

01:12:53.220 That's not the job of the mayor.

01:12:55.260 The mayor is to be impartial and unbiased with these events.

01:13:00.480 I've never seen this with a mayor.

01:13:02.140 The only time I did see it, maybe with John Lindsay and the transit strike,

01:13:06.380 or maybe with a sanitation strike, they would never take sides,

01:13:11.200 never take sides for the union versus the organization.

01:13:16.700 I don't know what the heck this guy – I mean, that's from the playbook of Marx. 0.78

01:13:25.260 Yeah, yeah, it's a commie strategy. 0.86

01:13:29.560 It's a commie way that leaders inject themselves into these negotiations between workers and management.

01:13:39.700 He should absolutely have no say in this, but that's what he's done.

01:13:44.920 He has no shame when it comes to going out and trying to divide. 0.91

01:13:53.640 and the only thing he sees is uh this 32b j uh they're an apparatchik of the uh democratic party

01:14:03.340 they have a lot of resources a lot of boots on the ground a lot of telephones and a lot of people

01:14:09.880 out there campaigning for them that's it yeah well he sees votes he sees supporters uh he never

01:14:19.060 stops campaigning this guy have you noticed he is constantly campaigning he doesn't know how to do

01:14:25.260 anything as mayor uh first hundred days you can't see anything that he's actually done um but yeah

01:14:33.200 he he'll make a lot of videos he'll smile that toothy smile of his and make an instagram video

01:14:39.840 about how awesome he is and how awesome communism is but as far as doing something no you're just 0.99

01:14:46.540 going to get campaigning out of this guy he's a piece of garbage larry he's garbage larry thank 0.95

01:14:51.920 you my friend yeah zoran so uh he was doing an interview like he usually does this guy gets more 0.99

01:15:00.300 camera time uh than any other politician he's talking about um aoc i guess he likes aoc who

01:15:09.700 doesn't i i liked her as a bartender i like to wait i liked her dancing on the roof when she 1.00

01:15:16.860 was in college in boston and uh she probably would have made an awesome bartender like if i 1.00

01:15:21.720 would have gone in there been like hey how you doing andy just call me andy i bet she she liked 1.00

01:15:28.740 that and then uh yeah shot in a beer but uh now she's a disaster but mem danny likes her over 0.99

01:15:38.660 over chuck schumer that's right aoc has been hinting she would like to take uh chuck schumer's 1.00

01:15:46.080 place as a senator and uh ma'am danny i think comments on that and that would be ac2

01:15:54.780 congressman alexandria acasio cortez challenge senator schumer for his seat as a part of the

01:16:04.440 generational change that's being discussed? I will tell you this, that I have had the privilege

01:16:09.240 of being represented by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, and it was an honor to have that be my experience.

01:16:15.360 Now it's an honor to work with her as an incredible congresswoman, and I'm excited to see whatever it

01:16:20.180 is that she decides to do next. I don't think she's made a decision as yet, but we're very proud

01:16:24.560 of her here in New York City. Do you have any thoughts about this debate over generational

01:16:27.400 change? Is it time for a younger generation of politicians in the Democratic Party? I think

01:16:33.280 it's time for a party that reflects the urgency that we're seeing across this country in terms of

01:16:38.960 hunger frankly that is not as much tied just to age but to vision you know we know very well what

01:16:45.200 we oppose what are we for that is a question that i think we have to be able to answer what are we

01:16:50.480 fighting for it was not just enough in this mayoral campaign to say that i wasn't like other mayoral

01:16:56.320 candidates we had to always answer the question of new yorkers what we deliver for them and i really

01:17:01.280 think that that is at the heart of the question for our party and i'll be honest with you when

01:17:05.420 you look back at the history books of our party 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what

01:17:10.260 we were fighting for and it is sad that for too many americans when they want to look for ambition

01:17:14.760 in the democratic party they have to turn to a history book what are we fighting for that's what

01:17:20.180 he wants first of all he doesn't answer the question you know the age thing well no it's a

01:17:25.120 vision it's more of a vision thing so cataracts bad so that's old old people out young people in

01:17:30.540 Is that what you're trying to say?

01:17:31.560 Are you trying to answer the question?

01:17:33.240 Of course not.

01:17:35.000 And then he talks about we got to show what we're fighting for,

01:17:38.140 what the Democrat Party is for, instead of what we're against.

01:17:42.560 We've seen what you're for.

01:17:45.620 Debauchery.

01:17:47.240 Crime. 0.92

01:17:48.600 You're for criminals.

01:17:50.480 You're against law enforcement.

01:17:53.820 We've seen it. 1.00

01:17:54.760 You're for men competing against women and beating the crap out of them 1.00

01:18:00.360 on various sports fields or courts. 1.00

01:18:06.260 We've seen it.

01:18:08.280 That's what you're for. 0.98

01:18:09.680 That's why no one likes you except the degenerates that vote for you.

01:18:14.500 And unfortunately, there are certain pockets of them in the big cities.

01:18:20.920 Doesn't it seem that way?

01:18:22.980 Everyone else in this country looks at the voters in big cities

01:18:27.940 when they elect people like Zoram M. Danny or Brandon Johnson.

01:18:34.440 And they go, what the hell is happening there?

01:18:39.040 Do they see what's going on?

01:18:40.920 Do they hear it? 1.00

01:18:42.180 Do they see that there are four men, disgusting, degenerate men, 0.99

01:18:48.040 scantily clad as women walking into bathrooms with your daughters that's a good thing yeah 0.99

01:18:57.760 we're for that we got to let people know that's what we're for and they've never denied it they 1.00

01:19:04.880 don't deny that they're proud of it and that's what we get and they vote for these people

01:19:11.920 that mayor woo up there in boston another one giving away between i think it was a hundred

01:19:22.380 and five hundred dollar uh federally or state funded gym and and spa outings to illegals

01:19:34.260 and illegal can go up and they want a little spa day oh it's so strenuous being financed by the

01:19:43.060 federal and state government getting a room in a hotel and clothes and food and money credit cards

01:19:51.300 so you might need a rub down you might need a little uh a little spa day and there's

01:19:58.420 woo giving these things out in boston to illegals what that's what we're for is that what you're

01:20:09.140 talking about zora when when you got to get the message out to the people what you're for we've

01:20:13.940 got it we've got it loud and clear that's why camilla harris was left in the dust because when

01:20:19.900 you take the whole country into consideration thank god at this moment or at least when the

01:20:26.100 last election was i don't even know day to day at least when that happened there was enough

01:20:31.860 common sense in the country to not vote in camilla harris oh you won't get that in chicago or new york 0.83

01:20:39.720 la hell no but thank god for the time being the country isn't as bat crap crazy 1.00

01:20:49.960 as some of these cities because man if kamala harris was in there oh you see occasionally she

01:20:59.000 peeks her head out from under that rock and you get to hear her speak and go everyone everyone 1.00

01:21:05.920 just goes thank god she did not win this idiot well the most qualified woman to ever run for 1.00

01:21:16.340 president the most qualified anyone obama said not even just woman the most qualified person 1.00

01:21:22.200 to ever run for the presidency of the united states i cannot say it without chuckling i just

01:21:29.000 cannot it's crazy i think uh dave dave from uh where are you oregon oregon sir a few pockets

01:21:39.720 of the resistance i hear you up there boy you got your work cut out for you 0.72

01:21:44.920 uh every middle-aged lesbian white woman in politics seems to be here it's definitely a

01:21:55.700 stronghold and it's very frightening hey first of all and i love you want to say how much i love 0.71

01:22:02.080 dally and your relationship with that unbelievable i am such a fan of the those belgians 0.97

01:22:07.800 he bit me he bit me on the hand the other day when i was trying to keep him in the door 1.00

01:22:17.300 he just chomps down at me but that's the kind of dog they are what are you going to do i love him 0.94

01:22:29.600 ever get a dog and to see you with him now just heart melting but i'm settling down by the time 0.85

01:22:35.600 by the time i'm 105 i might actually want a kid dave uh so you want to you want to talk about

01:22:41.960 liberal women and control uh it's it's really it's unbelievable because you know every problem

01:22:51.240 we have oh before that 100 right when you have two political parties left over it is all about

01:22:59.160 power it is all about settling scores and we're the little guy and that's the last i mean obviously

01:23:06.560 the democrats are off the rails lunatics but you know this is where we are but the biggest problem 1.00

01:23:14.600 society is these liberal women and the way that the democratic propaganda mind virus infects them 1.00

01:23:22.660 and what that what they get out of it and that so easily manipulated dave dave they're so easily 1.00

01:23:28.220 manipulated by the media by television shows by everything politicians speaking and they're 0.99

01:23:35.760 they're driven by emotion 100 you could lay out facts right in front of their dumb faces 0.96

01:23:45.600 and they will look at it read it and not understand because they can't get their emotions out of the 0.98

01:23:53.300 way and that is a hell of a way to try to govern when they're in positions of leadership or run a 0.68

01:24:01.060 damn household yeah i remember you made such a good point about them always being the ones the 0.98

01:24:08.840 suckers for the the cult leaders and the slippery snake oil salesmen and like you know if you look 1.00

01:24:16.760 back them getting the right to vote and getting into politics what else would have been what else 0.96

01:24:24.120 is worse that is the dawn of the liberal party as we know it you could really look at history

01:24:30.620 and see when things really started going south and look i don't know it sounds misogynistic it

01:24:36.920 sounds uh bigoted whatever you want to call it but i don't know i've seen enough to say

01:27:36.220 I appreciate the call, my friend.

01:27:38.320 Yeah, Comac.

01:27:39.940 The Comac Motorit.

01:27:41.480 You see the commercials for it at night on TV on Long Island,

01:27:45.100 and it would be embarrassing i'd be like nine years old and a commercial would come on

01:27:49.300 and my mom's in the room and i knew what it was about you know my brother and

01:27:53.380 older friends told me what comac motoring was and i'd get all embarrassed like i didn't want

01:27:58.960 to look around the room i don't know so embarrassing not as embarrassing as going

01:28:05.640 to see saturday night fever with my mother and my grandmother that was embarrassing oh my god

01:28:12.240 when the scene came of the girl in the back of the car

01:28:16.300 with John Travolta and everyone.

01:28:18.540 Look at you now.

01:28:19.460 You're proud of yourself, all right?

01:28:21.460 All right?

01:28:22.940 I'm bored with it, okay?

01:28:24.760 I just want to go dance, dance down at the disco, all right? 1.00

01:28:28.540 And then she's getting ravaged in the back of the car,

01:28:31.280 and I'm looking, and there's my grandma.

01:28:33.900 How am I supposed to say, hey, grandma, wasn't that movie awesome? 1.00

01:28:36.740 Remember when that girl was just getting...

01:28:38.880 ah but i digress just a tad uh let's see oh my goodness i gotta now i gotta be strategic and

01:28:50.200 what i do because i'm coming up on a break i want to talk about the mayor of chicago

01:28:55.980 about these uh teen mobs uh i'll preface it and then we'll play the clip after we come back from

01:29:03.240 break uh mayor brandon johnson is the mayor of chicago everyone knows this i i do a lot of breaks

01:29:10.480 on this guy because he he just stuns me i'm stunned at this guy's focus his unbelievable

01:29:20.220 focus on his race and on not doing what needs to be done because of his skin color and the skin

01:29:31.680 color of uh i guess the people that he knows he would have to do something about like these gangs

01:29:39.580 these teen takeovers they call them and um i would say we we saw one in new york we never really saw

01:29:48.660 these things in new york city because uh usually the mayor and the police department would keep

01:29:54.620 that in check but under memdani it's popped up in his first hundred days we got the road warrior

01:30:00.800 flames cars doing donuts and uh no one seems to care no one really there was outrage by the

01:30:10.180 neighbors but what the hell was the mayor going to do about it the police oh yeah send arrest those 0.63

01:30:16.060 people tow their cars confiscate they're all what he considers uh minorities and people of color

01:30:25.300 like himself so he won't do anything he'll just let it happen and that is what we see in this

01:30:31.680 brandon johnson uh he is unbelievable in his lack of giving the people of chicago the safety

01:30:42.340 that they're paying for they pay their taxes you think you want to see police out there doing their

01:30:48.160 job he won't allow them when we get back we'll uh talk about brandon and the teen mobs in chicago

01:30:55.540 Stick around.

01:30:56.860 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:31:02.820 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:31:09.160 The Anthony Cumia Show, and I was just listening to myself talk about FanDuel.

01:31:15.000 FanDuel predicts.

01:31:16.900 If you don't know what this is, you've got to check it out

01:31:19.600 because it's not just betting on sports.

01:31:22.860 You can.

01:31:25.140 The playoffs are happening.

01:31:26.740 You know that.

01:31:29.620 Is that, I'm not very interested in basketball,

01:31:33.420 but I do know the Knicks beat the Hawks.

01:31:35.580 You could bet on that, but people go, oh, sports betting.

01:31:40.200 Yeah, I do that, or I've done that.

01:31:43.440 With FanDuel Predicts, you can bet on anything,

01:31:47.400 anything that's happening or not happening.

01:31:50.460 You predict, you try to predict what is going to happen.

01:31:55.020 Who's going to win?

01:31:55.760 But then there's side bets, too.

01:31:57.200 Because I know the Lakers beat the Rockets last night.

01:32:00.100 Can you bet if LeBron is going to do some embarrassing flop on the floor?

01:32:07.880 Last night, he grabbed his head.

01:32:10.400 Someone brushed the back of his head.

01:32:12.740 I mean, gently brushed the back of his head.

01:32:15.300 He grabbed it like he was JFK in Dallas.

01:32:18.820 You would have thought this guy was having a cerebral hemorrhage.

01:32:23.880 So I would like to be able to see if FanDuel predicts.

01:32:26.720 I could say, yes, LeBron will take a flop on the floor.

01:32:30.840 But if you don't know what the prediction market is, that's what it is.

01:32:33.580 You can predict what's going to happen.

01:32:36.440 And you don't just go in there blind.

01:32:38.300 You can look at what's going to happen and see, oh, yeah,

01:32:40.940 a hell of a lot of people are betting that that's going to happen.

01:32:44.500 And then you get right on board with that.

01:32:46.280 Or you could go against the consensus, whatever you want to do.

01:32:51.280 And it's not just sports.

01:32:52.520 like i said um that's the part a lot of people miss you can predict spreads total points game

01:32:58.900 winning moments all those prop bets and things like that uh and it's it's a lot more fun it

01:33:05.900 makes things a hell of a lot more interesting i could not ever watch basketball if i didn't have

01:33:55.500 falling on the floor like he yells in pain you should not be playing a man's sport even though

01:34:03.520 i put basketball at the bottom rung of a man's sport uh if you're going to scream when someone 0.84

01:34:10.680 touches you or flop on the ground if someone brushes your sneaker it really is embarrassing

01:34:18.680 quite embarrassing uh well let me see how much time i got okay we'll come back with your calls

01:34:26.380 after uh the top of the hour but right now i want to talk about gamers for air traffic control i'm

01:34:33.220 not kidding this is the state of affairs that we are in right now they are looking for air traffic

01:34:42.520 control we don't have enough we've seen uh accidents incidents things happen we've gotten

01:34:49.740 lucky in some cases because uh the disasters that could have happened with the airliners

01:34:57.000 and trucks on the runway so they're looking for air traffic controllers so it seems that

01:35:05.360 they put out 12 000 applications in 24 hours the most in one day since the faa was created

01:35:13.840 68 years ago and uh the campaign is to recruit gamers people that play video games to become

01:35:23.840 air traffic controllers it's record breaking uh now i i i am kind of known i am not in the

01:35:34.120 demographic but i've never stopped playing video games i i've gone from pong back in the 70s

01:35:42.260 and never stopped as a matter of fact tonight i will probably log in for a while and play

01:35:47.700 battlefield six with some of my buddies uh i just never stopped one thing i have noticed

01:35:54.360 uh is that the lobbies the rooms that they call them the virtual places you go in where you

01:36:02.340 meet up with people and you get to talk to the people you're competing against i could not

01:36:08.140 imagine that dialogue going between an air traffic controller and a pilot

01:36:13.680 it is amongst the most vulgar racist misogynistic homophobic stuff you'll ever hear now i would

01:36:26.140 gather they want to do this because of maybe good hand-eye coordination communication skills if 0.92

01:36:34.680 you're saying horrific things to people the ability to see something and react with your

01:36:40.980 hands and your voice and uh that might be good that might work out but a lot of these guys that

01:36:49.360 play games they're basement dwellers i don't think they work and play well with actual people

01:36:57.820 in the real world but maybe i'm just being biased toward them i don't think so because like i said

01:37:06.180 And I've spoken with them and heard what they have to say in a room full of other people.

01:37:12.660 And it isn't very pleasant.

01:37:14.220 But who am I?

01:37:15.840 Who am I to say who would make the best air traffic controller?

01:37:19.040 And a record number of them have applied.

01:37:21.020 So maybe coming to an airport tower near you, people calling women the B word, dropping the N-bomb, and the F word, we'll be back.

01:37:36.180 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 0.96

01:37:42.500 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:37:49.100 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:37:51.540 Thanks for hanging with us on this wonderful Sunday evening.

01:37:56.940 And quickly, I guess the Mets are 0-11

01:38:00.020 since Mr. and Mrs. Met embraced Mayor Zoran Mamdani at Citi Field.

01:38:09.320 And, of course, morning man at 77 WABC, Sid Rosenberg,

01:38:17.560 he threw a fit about the whole thing, said he's done with the Mets,

01:38:22.520 became a Yankees fan.

01:38:23.760 And since then, the Mets 0-11, since Mr. and Mrs. Met, the big-headed, baseball-headed mascots, showed their affection for Mayor Maldani.

01:38:37.120 So who knows? Who knows?

01:38:40.380 Interesting indeed.

01:38:43.300 Mayor Brandon Johnson from Chicago.

01:38:47.680 go uh he's been asked many times by members of the press what the hell are you gonna do

01:38:55.440 about the mobs the teen mobs the teen takeovers the uh gangs and uh he answers no don't call them

01:39:08.860 that they are large gatherings he's more interested in the semantics than what's actually

01:39:15.760 happening in chicago and uh he was asked again about the this this epidemic of literally hundreds

01:39:25.620 of young people in chicago running around vandalizing assaulting people um and uh even

01:39:34.840 gunfire in the mix he's asked again and what is his answer something that we can take away and

01:39:42.500 and say, hey, at least he's really trying to do something.

01:39:46.460 This is AC4.

01:39:48.900 Despite you asking the adults to be accountable for their children,

01:39:53.220 the youth flash mobs continue to test your defunded policing policy.

01:39:57.360 How serious a threat to life, limb, and property do other so-called teen trends

01:40:03.100 have to pose before your administration shifts from asking

01:40:06.440 to compelling the participating youth and their adults

01:40:09.780 to be accountable for those disturbances of the peace.

01:40:12.580 Did you always listen to your parents?

01:40:14.340 No, no.

01:40:15.140 Now, if any of you have lived a perfect life

01:40:16.860 and you have never disobeyed your parent,

01:40:18.540 you have a free pass to get to those pearly gates.

01:40:22.080 You know this is happening all over the world right now.

01:40:24.440 All over the world.

01:40:26.040 I've said repeatedly that I'm concerned

01:40:27.980 about the dangerous and reckless behavior.

01:40:30.420 Don't mischaracterize what I am saying as parent and as mayor.

01:40:34.340 It is going to take all of us, and check this out.

01:40:36.600 People are stepping up.

01:40:37.700 Did you witness the students at Kenwood Academy who are holding their peers accountable?

01:40:42.100 Did you hear the principal from Kenwood Academy?

01:40:44.600 Did you see the parents actually step out in Hyde Park?

01:40:47.500 And there were some kids who still showed up even though parents were out there.

01:40:50.620 So we are taking this full force of government approach.

01:40:53.360 So I am calling on all parents, community leaders, business leaders to stand together

01:40:58.880 to make sure that we are creating opportunities for young people

01:41:02.280 and that if they step outside the bounds of our expectations that we do hold them accountable.

01:41:07.700 Bounds of expectations.

01:41:14.020 Exactly.

01:41:15.680 How about bounds of the law?

01:41:18.480 Bounds of expectations.

01:41:21.880 This guy wants everyone, the parents and the teachers and the schools,

01:41:30.620 to try to tell the kids that it's beyond that.

01:41:35.120 If you had parents who were parenting properly, there wouldn't be these hundreds of delinquents and thugs running around your city, destroying, looting, assaulting, and sometimes killing people.

01:41:54.880 that isn't something where ward cleaver or mr brady has to pull their kids in and go

01:42:02.720 hey kids now don't you go out there and break windows and steal stuff and

01:42:08.880 the these their parents are non-existent that's what's happening there's no discipline discipline

01:42:19.140 him you have a police department there needs to be consequences see that's what it is not a talking

01:42:29.200 to by the principal of a school consequences you break the law which they're doing you pay the

01:42:38.260 consequences a huge fine perhaps jail time uh whatever probation he don't want to do that

01:42:48.580 again, you have a mayor of a major city

01:42:52.200 that does not want to do what needs to be done

01:42:55.340 because he doesn't want to seem like he's with the other side. 0.99

01:42:59.880 You know, the evil white people side. 0.95

01:43:04.180 And what does that even mean? 0.99

01:43:06.540 Law and order?

01:43:07.800 Is there a race on law and order?

01:43:10.020 Is that it? 0.88

01:43:11.240 Is law and order white and criminality is black? 0.61

01:43:14.720 Is that it, mayor? 0.71

01:43:15.560 Is that why you don't want to help solve the problem by doing what needs to be done?

01:43:22.260 You don't want to, because they'll call him a Tom, or they'll call him so many other words.

01:43:27.680 It's not bad enough that they got these mobs of thugs running around at night, on the weekends especially.

01:43:35.200 And once it gets warmer, woofah.

01:43:37.100 It's not bad enough.

01:43:39.140 But if anyone says anything about it, they are considered, you know, going against their race.

01:43:45.560 So you got this guy who's been a proven bigot and he doesn't want to say or do anything, really.

01:43:52.660 Oh, parents need to talk to their kids like it's a sitcom from the 60s.

01:43:58.460 Just talk to your kids. 1.00

01:44:00.360 You're beyond that, dummy. 0.99

01:44:03.480 They're rampaging your city. 0.97

01:44:06.900 And every weekend when this happens, the bodies pile up, too.

01:44:11.080 What is that?

01:44:11.740 A little talk from the parents about that, too?

01:44:15.560 This isn't shoplifting a magazine from a store and the parent has to have a little conversation with the child.

01:44:24.560 These are hardcore young people that will fight at the drop of a hat, shoot guns at the first sign of disrespect, and not listen to anybody.

01:44:37.320 They laugh at you.

01:44:39.540 Everyone's laughing at you.

01:44:40.720 They are.

01:44:41.740 The rest of the country is.

01:44:42.860 Anyone who has respect for law and order, they're laughing at you.

01:44:47.820 But this is what you get in the big cities.

01:44:51.040 And it doesn't get any better.

01:44:52.880 It gets worse.

01:44:54.700 And, you know, I guess he'll be looked at as a fine, upstanding guy who didn't go against his race. 1.00

01:45:02.200 Again, as the bodies of minority kids stack up in Chicago. 0.99

01:45:06.800 Well, at least I didn't do anything where they would have said that I was a Tom.

01:45:12.860 as kids die every weekend in chicago good job there good job uh brandon

01:45:19.520 brandon johnson there he goes uh ilan omar this is fantastic how the hell is this not being

01:45:31.780 investigated how is this not at the top of the list of what should be investigated 0.92

01:45:37.340 You know, a bunch of people were giving her flack because she is a congresswoman. 1.00

01:45:44.520 She was making no money, making the bare minimum. 0.96

01:45:48.120 And then all of a sudden her net worth went up to $30 million.

01:45:52.940 And everyone was asking.

01:45:54.980 She was being trailed in the hallways and out by her car.

01:46:01.220 And independent journalists and even some network people were asking her,

01:46:06.540 how how did you guys make get up to a 30 million dollar net worth from just a hundred thousand or

01:46:16.380 so a couple of years ago and never never an answer never got an answer well my husband is

01:46:23.420 a consultant oh what's he consult stuff that you're in charge of that seems a little shady

01:46:30.140 so um ilan omar they recalculated recalculated her debt worth and um from 30 million what would

01:46:43.100 you think like 25 million you could probably squeeze it down at that 25 million 20 million

01:46:50.900 maybe there was some huge errors we apologize we are not worth 30 million though we are only worth

01:46:57.100 20 million nope 95 000 they are trying to convince you they are trying to make you believe

01:47:10.800 that they went from a net worth of 30 million dollars first from a net worth of maybe a hundred

01:47:18.200 and something thousand up to 30 million and now they're back down to 95 000 of net worth her and

01:47:26.480 husband and how did this happen they said um it was a clerical error some error that their

01:47:35.260 accountant made can can i please have this guy's number i would love this accountant

01:47:42.580 and she didn't say anything about it wouldn't you think you'd say hey how are you worth 30 million

01:47:49.980 dollars only a couple of years after you were worth a hundred thousand don't you think she

01:47:55.600 turned around and go what where where did where did you see that where am i worth 30 million

01:48:01.500 dollars because i'll tell you i've never seen it but no she never said a peep she ran away from the

01:48:09.760 question she had a no you don't not know you're worth 30 million dollars and then they bring it

01:48:18.480 down to 95 000 please can we grab a magnifying glass and some vaseline and really get a good look

01:48:30.340 at what's going on in the ilhan omar family incestual family can we just do that because

01:48:39.600 that's a red flag i would call that a red flag the irs alone not even some ethics or other a 1.00

01:48:51.800 criminal uh investigation on her where this income came from and then mysteriously disappeared again 0.99

01:48:58.880 to the irs if you had a 30 million dollar net worth and you thought it was true wouldn't you

01:49:08.600 have had to pay taxes on that wouldn't that have had some effect on you saying huh i only see ninety

01:49:16.700 five thousand dollars in our account but we're paying on thirty million dollars uh we're paying 1.00

01:49:22.300 taxes on thirty mil so just another thing that shows um how uh corrupt and criminal this woman 1.00

01:49:33.240 is and the protection she has that that astounds me the the the suit of armor she has against being 1.00

01:49:41.560 investigated all the shenanigans going on up there in minneapolis minnesota and nothing

01:49:48.140 she's the teflon dummy all right don't go anywhere we're back in a moment with more

01:49:54.720 of the anthony cumia show it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:50:00.980 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:50:07.820 the anthony cumia show and uh just going through x anthony cumia on x if you want to get in touch

01:50:17.300 with me on social media i would appreciate it and uh i'm looking at uh this is going insanely viral

01:50:26.460 It's astronaut Reid Wiseman, and he took an iPhone video of the Earth setting behind the moon

01:50:37.300 when the Artemis II capsule went around the backside of the moon,

01:50:43.280 and the Earth is setting much like the sun would set on Earth.

01:50:48.400 It's the Earth setting on the moon through an iPhone.

01:50:52.200 He's just videoing it stock.

01:50:54.700 He's got eight-time zoom on through the phone.

01:50:58.020 It's a stock iPhone, and it is amazing.

01:51:01.840 It's an amazing video, but it's also amazing to think of the technology we have these days.

01:51:09.120 In our pockets, we're holding the same camera, the same ability to send this picture and look at it.

01:51:21.140 It's an amazing video.

01:51:23.100 And we do live in some amazing technological times.

01:51:28.700 I feel sorry for the people that don't believe in space.

01:51:32.780 It sounds weird to say don't believe in space.

01:51:37.840 There are people that actually don't believe that we've ever left the Earth in anything, even unmanned, just a satellite.

01:51:48.740 They don't believe in satellites.

01:51:50.020 I don't understand that because you've got GPS in your car, you've got your phone, you've got satellite signals that come down and give you television and Internet and whatnot.

01:52:02.080 They don't believe in that, and they certainly don't believe that people have ever traveled off of the planet and up into what is considered near-Earth orbit or outer space near the moon.

01:52:16.640 And I feel bad for them.

01:52:18.260 They spend so much time and energy. And when I look at this video, it gives me a kind of a feeling of of accomplishment as as human beings.

01:52:31.020 It's beautiful. It's pleasant to to look at.

01:52:35.640 And you're missing out on that because you want to hold on to these conspiracies that never make sense.

01:52:42.980 i mean never makes sense i was reading some people's posts about the artemis re-entry

01:52:51.260 to earth to splash down um and all of the posts were about how everything that happened was

01:52:59.920 impossible that couldn't happen because the capsule would have burnt up the capsules made

01:53:06.800 of aluminum how could it handle 5 000 degree heat from the re-entry and all you have to do is read

01:53:15.480 and it makes sense it's not you're not reading this unbelievable propaganda you're reading science

01:53:23.280 you're reading things that have happened many many times over the course of decades now as far as the

01:53:30.420 space program of this country and many other countries go and uh some people actually believe

01:53:39.000 when the artemis was coming through the atmosphere they went from uh i think it was 75 000 miles an

01:53:47.400 hour to 20 miles an hour in seven seconds and they go how how did the people survive

01:53:57.040 I just put my arms up. 1.00

01:53:59.200 I go, oh, you're so stupid. 1.00

01:54:03.120 That would be fatal to everything. 1.00

01:54:06.180 Everything would come apart at the seams.

01:54:09.060 And how did the capsule not burn up?

01:54:10.960 There's a heat shield.

01:54:12.420 The heat shield burns away as they come through the atmosphere.

01:54:17.260 Only on the bottom part, the heat shield,

01:54:19.940 directly in line with the flight through the atmosphere,

01:54:24.260 does that spot on the heat shield get that hot the rest of the capsule does it and then once they get

01:54:31.240 through the atmosphere into the cool air they're traveling thousands of miles that's another one i

01:54:38.460 heard why isn't there any steam where if there's 5 000 degrees through the atmosphere how come when

01:54:45.460 they splash down in the water there's no steam because they they traveled from the indian ocean

01:54:54.960 to the california coast over the pacific that's how far they traveled to cool off a bit

01:55:03.580 and they can't understand uh heat being taken away by a heat shield and everything is this negative

01:55:12.340 statement on how it couldn't have happened with no proof being offered by the way just

01:55:19.100 either blatant lies or really they're misinformed on how this stuff works but

01:55:25.680 i've loved the space program my whole life i i watch every launch and stuff like this the

01:55:32.940 manned flights like around the moon with artemis 2 i'm fascinated by it and i i'm very i'm very

01:55:40.400 knowledgeable on what they're doing so when you hear people that just want to argue a conspiracy

01:55:46.380 online and they're talking out of their um bottom end uh it's funny it's funny but i feel bad i feel

01:55:54.620 you're missing out on a lot of amazing stuff that uh you could be uh it might it might actually

01:56:02.200 get you to do a little more research and see that these things are actually happening

01:56:07.980 there are amazing things going on amazing things going on these days

01:56:13.000 and uh one of them of course is uh bernie sanders bernie sanders i love this oh i wish i had more

01:56:23.460 time maybe i'll do something else and then come back to bernie yeah yeah because the bernie thing

01:56:29.100 i need more time he talks about robots and it's hilarious um well anchor babies i talk about that

01:56:37.020 a lot i do uh despise a an anchor baby the idea that you could just come to this country pregnant

01:56:44.140 and drop off a kid and you're a resident your kid's a resident you have to take care of them

01:56:51.020 till they're 18 so you're a resident that's how this works and the second donald trump said maybe

01:56:58.680 we should do away with this and he signed an eo getting away and then the supreme court has to

01:57:04.720 um argue it every liberal democrat thinks it's some horrible racist thing to do uh 10 percent

01:57:14.820 of births in the u.s i think this is was 2023 but you have to think it probably didn't go up or down

01:57:25.980 very much maybe in the past year or so under donald trump it went down i hope it did but during

01:57:34.200 the biden administration and uh up until uh trump maybe when i see those numbers i'll know for sure

01:57:42.280 but anchor babies 10 of the births in the u.s not of foreign births illegal births 10 of all

01:57:54.140 births in the u.s were anchor babies women that flew here pregnant or got pregnant while they

01:58:03.980 were here a lot of them illegally but there are some people that get temporary visas there was

01:58:10.680 recently a woman from jamaica who was on a flight to jfk and she had a baby on the plane

01:58:18.760 she went into labor it wasn't premature she got on a plane nine months pregnant

01:58:25.880 knowing that she wanted to go from jamaica to the united states 0.92

01:58:31.060 to have a baby so that baby would be a citizen 0.90

01:58:34.300 and she could reap the rewards 0.99

01:58:36.520 of being the mother of an anchor baby.

01:58:39.380 Oh, the benefits, the welfare, the housing,

01:58:43.460 oh, the coddling, everything. 1.00

01:58:49.020 And she dumped her kid 0.84

01:58:51.340 and now she's a resident of the United States.

01:58:54.760 But the idea that during the Biden,

01:58:56.960 the ass end of the Biden administration,

01:58:58.760 10 percent of every baby that was born 10 percent of every baby what's that a leg no 10 percent of 0.97

01:59:08.280 all the babies born um in the u.s were anchor babies and and they had some big problem that

01:59:18.100 uh donald trump wanted to get rid of this and i've read the uh the uh amendment to the constitution

01:59:29.340 it has nothing to do with foreigners purposefully coming here to this country

01:59:36.480 to dump off a kid and become uh an american citizen once again the constitution was 0.74

01:59:44.380 bastardized twisted and turned so that they could uh get what they wanted which is illegals 0.56

01:59:54.460 babies of illegals more people that would grow up to be wonderful democrat voters it's the only

02:00:03.300 reason you would not have a problem with this i cannot think of one other reason uh but that's

02:00:11.020 how they do back in a moment it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:00:17.920 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:00:24.700 yes the anthony cumia show let's go right to uh lou out there on the aisle of long

02:00:31.760 lou what's up my friend uh parental rules uh at the age of 18 i had to be home by 11 p.m

02:00:40.880 or my father would take my car keys a car that i bought insured

02:00:46.760 you're living here you're home at 11 that's it and i'll tell you what it kept me in a lot of

02:00:54.100 trouble kept me out of a lot of trouble the that's all you thought about was whenever you wanted to

02:01:01.220 do something and it was a little dodgy all you thought about was how is this going to affect

02:01:06.580 me when i get home how will this affect me if my parents find out and we were just talking you know

02:01:13.040 i was talking before about uh chicago and these these uh mobs of people that go out hundreds of

02:01:19.360 them and they're all under 18 and they're wreaking havoc there's no consideration for what will my

02:01:26.680 parents think it doesn't happen that's why it's out of control lou oh man my all my father had

02:01:33.880 to do was look at me he had these still blue eyes and i knew i was in trouble you knew right

02:01:40.400 and it was terrible you knew and before if you knew that they found out you did something but

02:01:48.580 you hadn't confronted him with it yet or they haven't confronted you that was a nightmare you

02:01:53.660 was just sitting there your stomach's in knots you you just you felt like impending doom

02:02:00.240 but you know what it made me a better person it does i had to abide by rules of course i took uh

02:02:09.620 you reminded me of a story i took my uh pickup truck and uh animal house a little movie called

02:02:16.180 animal house had just come out and i i didn't have insurance on my vehicle and uh my mom told me

02:02:23.760 don't you drive that truck don't you drive that truck doesn't have insurance on it till next week

02:02:28.660 i'm like yeah no problem don't worry about it and then my buddies hey let's go to the movies

02:02:34.320 let's see animal house and uh i got talked into it loaded them up went to the movies

02:02:40.420 nothing happened i didn't get into an accident or anything but when i got home uh apparently

02:02:46.340 one of my mom's friends or my aunt or someone saw my truck saw me driving it and she knew

02:02:52.900 and i was done i was done man i remember and just the fact that i remember it shows how effective

02:03:00.980 that was right it's etched in your memory yeah i mean you broke the law and you got away with it

02:03:08.520 but you still knew it was wrong right right i love it lou thank you man yeah it's always cool

02:03:17.680 talk and i know most people are alike all over the country especially if you were in the same

02:03:23.880 demographic at the same time you know the same year uh but people from long island there is just

02:03:30.440 a thing we all know exactly what each other went through at our age in a certain year the 70s or

02:03:37.960 the 80s um yeah it's probably that way everywhere but long island since it's where i'm from um i

02:03:45.720 have an affinity for long islanders that's how it works uh bernie sanders bernie he's been talking

02:03:52.920 about ai yeah arthritic inflammation no artificial intelligence uh the fact that this guy is even

02:04:02.840 talking about something i'm sure he has no grasp of i'm sure he cannot understand what ai is but

02:04:12.480 He's got a bunch of people, and they feel that their jobs are going to be threatened by AI,

02:04:19.360 and he is going to be there to tell those people, don't worry, I'm fighting for you.

02:04:25.280 For what?

02:04:26.520 What are you going to do, Bernie?

02:04:28.600 It's technology.

02:04:31.060 It's advancing.

02:04:32.320 It's the future.

02:04:34.580 Was there a Bernie Sanders that showed up when automobiles were invented?

02:04:41.600 To represent the blacksmiths and the horseshoers, ferriers, is that what they're called?

02:04:48.640 And say, no, we do not want automobiles.

02:04:53.020 The shoes must go on the horses because the people need to ride the horses.

02:04:58.860 And automobiles, we will stop producing or driving automobiles until they realize you need horseshoes.

02:05:07.620 And this is what he's doing now.

02:05:10.120 AI is what it is.

02:05:11.520 Pandora's out of the box.

02:05:13.520 There's no putting a toothpaste back in the tube, as they say.

02:05:17.180 But, you know, he's going to pander. 0.96

02:05:20.500 Either he's really ignorant as to what AI is

02:05:23.600 and the fact that technology is always advancing

02:05:26.980 and it costs people their jobs,

02:05:29.920 but in return it creates jobs in other sectors,

02:05:34.580 in brand-new sectors that weren't even imagined before.

02:05:38.480 But he's Bernie, and he's going to be the socialist, and I'm all for the workers.

02:05:44.980 And here he is.

02:05:46.700 Let me see.

02:05:47.300 I got a couple of clips here from him.

02:05:50.100 This is him.

02:05:50.760 Oh, yeah, AC5.

02:05:53.100 The experts are telling us that AI and robotics is going to have a huge impact on every worker in America.

02:06:03.340 As Senator Sanders says, this is the most fundamental change that has happened in society, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe in all of history.

02:06:14.460 You would think that the greatest country of the world would stop and say, what do we do about this?

02:06:23.280 Not just let five or ten gazillionaires have carte blanche to do whatever they want.

02:06:31.400 We would say, what should we do in society?

02:06:35.180 It's really simple.

02:06:36.220 Will you stand with workers in this AI future,

02:06:39.500 or will you let big tech and the billionaires upend our jobs,

02:06:43.080 our livelihoods, our rights, and our dignity?

02:06:45.860 So here's what I know.

02:06:47.900 AI will not and AI cannot replace the dedication of those

02:06:54.080 who have answered the call to become educators.

02:06:58.000 I don't know about that, lady.

02:06:59.620 replace our professional expertise. 0.87

02:07:03.760 I want to be clear about this, AI will either work for the working class or it will not

02:07:09.580 work at all.

02:07:12.200 That is the ultimatum, you know, the AI transitions about two simple questions.

02:07:18.380 How much value does our labor create?

02:07:22.120 And the second question is who benefits?

02:07:24.660 We have the humanity.

02:07:25.860 This is the moment to do it.

02:07:27.380 Sanders is completely right about putting a moratorium on the building of the data centers

02:07:31.860 and that is not about stopping progress of building big buildings. That is about saying

02:07:37.140 that we're not going to take one step forward until the regulation is in place. And unless

02:07:42.360 that regulation is in place, then AI is not working for any of us and we're going to stop

02:07:47.400 working until AI works for us. And yes, these big tech guys have unlimited amounts of money

02:07:54.640 and have extraordinary power, but I have absolute confidence that when we stand together,

02:08:00.740 we are going to beat them, and we're going to use these technologies to improve life for all people

02:08:06.580 rather than making billionaires even wealthier.

02:08:10.900 Thank you all so much for being here.

02:08:12.580 Thank you.

02:08:14.560 Do they understand how this stuff works?

02:08:18.800 Have they looked at history?

02:08:20.640 they talk about history and have they looked at history and seen that with every big step up in

02:08:28.440 technology jobs are left in the dust and new ones are created and and them saying they're going to

02:08:38.360 hold up ai if ai doesn't work for everyone it'll work for no one you can't do that first of all

02:08:47.160 it's impossible second of all it would be unethical it's not the right thing to do

02:08:53.940 you have to let these things fly uh they don't like it because it's kind of

02:09:03.120 nipping at the heels of their jobs teachers that girl brought up educators we will not have ai

02:09:12.160 taking over the

02:09:14.440 jobs of our dedicated

02:09:15.880 educators, that's

02:09:18.460 going to be the first job to go.

02:09:21.820 AI

02:09:22.340 can teach.

02:09:24.100 It can teach

02:09:26.300 without an agenda.

02:09:28.700 It probably won't.

02:09:30.260 It'll probably be the agenda of whatever

02:09:31.760 entity puts it in

02:09:34.320 a classroom.

02:09:36.440 But as an assistant, I think

02:09:38.420 it works very well. If you have a qualified

02:09:40.540 teacher that isn't some freak of nature at the front of your classroom but um you know just like

02:09:47.220 the the computer has elevated uh the classroom with uh that that technology and and help the

02:09:56.200 teacher to uh educate the children ai will be the same thing and there will be some people that just

02:10:05.420 will not be needed anymore customer service is already a thing of the past it's is it a good

02:10:12.380 thing i don't think so i'll tell you one thing though when i get ai on a phone call to a company

02:10:19.420 that i need customer service from it definitely gives me more answers than i got from please

02:10:25.340 press number eight if you're looking for or stay on the line for a customer service representative

02:10:32.700 We apologize for the wait time.

02:10:34.920 Like, I'd rather have AI go, hey, how can I help you?

02:10:39.260 Look, I'm being all mechanical.

02:10:40.400 How can I help you?

02:10:41.880 It doesn't even do that.

02:10:43.120 It sounds very natural.

02:10:44.660 How can I help you?

02:10:46.060 And then you voice your problem, and it reaches into the database of Earth, of Earth forever.

02:10:56.980 And it tries to give you an answer.

02:10:59.020 and it's a hell of a lot better than did you unplug it did you plug it back in

02:11:05.800 so you know i'm sorry learn to prompt remember learn to code when everyone's saying learn to

02:11:14.960 code all these uh jobs are being given to uh techs and uh computer uh techs and so learn to code

02:11:25.080 Now it's learned to prompt.

02:11:27.520 Learn to create something that AI can do.

02:11:32.080 And then put that in place of a few thousand human beings.

02:11:36.160 See how that works out for you.

02:11:39.180 That wasn't it.

02:11:40.920 Bernie also had a comment.

02:11:42.700 And this cracked me up.

02:11:44.480 You know, Bernie, he's no kid.

02:11:46.440 That's for sure.

02:11:47.660 And when he talks about futuristic technology, it always makes me laugh.

02:11:53.480 but he's talking about robots in this next clip and he said and it's something i've joked about

02:12:01.660 forever he says robot if you watch the twilight zone rod serling would be like a simple robot

02:12:11.380 and he like robot it's a robot not a robot but bernie is so old and out of touch with tech

02:12:20.300 He calls it a robot. Let's listen to Bernie talk about the danger of the robots.

02:12:26.100 And the reality is that AI, that the AI oligarchs, and let's be clear, who is pushing?

02:12:31.740 You'll know who is pushing this technologies? The richest people on Earth.

02:12:38.140 Mr. Musk, Mr. Zuckerberg, Mr. Bezos, Mr. Ellison, and others.

02:12:44.360 And what they want to do is replace human workers. Why?

02:12:49.180 If I have a robot and it costs me $30,000, $20,000 for a robot, and that robot works 24 hours a day, doesn't get a salary, doesn't get a vacation, doesn't get sick, man, what a good investment.

02:13:02.880 I've cut my quantum computer cost probably by 90%.

02:13:06.180 What do I need, human beings?

02:13:09.340 So the issue that we're dealing with today is some of us are old-fashioned, and we believe in human beings. 0.94

02:13:19.180 and the american people do as well how do you know robots roll roll roll your butt gently down the

02:13:27.720 stream robots uh yeah and who do you think's doing this the richest people in the world

02:13:34.920 yeah who do you think has the money to build robots and these giant centers with with

02:13:42.420 graphics cards spinning thousands of them at a time who's got that pocket change bernie

02:13:49.840 are you saying that just because they're wealthy that this technology shouldn't exist

02:13:57.500 or be utilized it's inevitable but the fact that they're rich isn't that they're these evil bond

02:14:09.680 villains looking to take away humans jobs with their robots you gotta be a billionaire to build

02:14:19.080 robots i love this guy but uh you know i don't see a lot of uh somali robots or ai centers

02:14:34.220 it just ain't happening yeah it takes a lot of money what do you think uh uh all of the

02:14:41.980 you know henry ford back in the day he was uh a virtually a billionaire back then being a

02:14:53.040 multi-millionaire was like the billionaires are today with inflation and all but uh yeah what

02:15:00.560 do you expect some little guy down the street to to pump out uh model t's at an incredible rate

02:15:09.260 it takes very wealthy people to do amazing things you think elon musk if he didn't have 1.00

02:15:18.060 billions of dollars could be launching rockets into the space that doesn't exist if you're stupid 0.99

02:15:25.160 he's he's putting all of the uh he's concentrating on the fact that very wealthy people are doing 1.00

02:15:36.460 these things and that because they're wealthy they don't care about the worker and the fact that

02:15:43.200 some of these workers are going to have their jobs eliminated because of these amazing technologies

02:15:48.400 that these billionaires have given us.

02:15:53.560 That doesn't mean the billionaire's intention 1.00

02:15:56.020 was to eliminate your stupid job. 1.00

02:16:00.700 And I'm saying stupid job because if AI can do it, 1.00

02:16:04.060 eh, what are you going to do? 1.00

02:16:06.660 Until I can be cloned.

02:16:09.500 I'm pretty good.

02:16:10.980 I think I'm set, even with AI, you know.

02:16:14.080 I'm kind of unique in what I do.

02:16:16.220 you want to jack up people's minimum wage to uh 30 an hour to do the simplest of tasks

02:16:24.700 of course a robot is going to do better he gave the greatest sales pitch for robots

02:16:32.160 oh it doesn't get sick it doesn't take days off it doesn't want to raise and then he didn't have

02:16:38.660 anything after that to say in response of how that isn't the greatest thing ever that is great

02:16:47.140 as as a business owner an employer that sounds fantastic i want a whole warehouse of robots

02:16:57.440 but he needs votes so he's got to make it seem like he's for the people and he's old and doesn't

02:17:04.260 understand the technology and bloody bloody blah blah that's how it works the new comes in

02:17:12.040 the old goes out the village smithy isn't needed anymore maybe at a renaissance fair gig

02:17:20.560 all the people that bernie's talking to they could all go to a whatever the renaissance fair

02:17:26.180 will be in the future they could show them teaching a classroom this is what it was like

02:17:34.520 We used to go into a classroom and a person at the front of the room would actually.

02:17:40.760 But now AI does it.

02:17:42.760 We take it for granted, don't we?

02:17:44.320 Yeah, we do.

02:17:45.960 We do.

02:17:46.700 But that's progress. 1.00

02:17:49.780 Anyone who's ever tried to hold back progress, they've looked stupid in the eyes of history. 0.99

02:17:59.320 Because there's just no doing it. 0.99

02:18:01.640 human beings, for how much you want to be a human

02:18:05.340 and not take this guy's job away.

02:18:08.520 There are instincts in human beings, in some of us,

02:18:14.160 that want to branch out, explore, invent,

02:18:20.200 make things better, easier,

02:18:22.940 build amazing innovations like robots,

02:18:28.300 And to try to hold that back, try to sweep the tide back.

02:18:34.920 Grab a broom and try to sweep the tide back because that's exactly what you're trying to do.

02:18:40.940 It's not easy for the people that it will affect, but it will affect them, and it is affecting them.

02:18:48.360 You know how many Indian call centers have been put out of work?

02:18:52.140 Hello, my name is Steve. May I help you?

02:18:55.320 You're like, you're not Steve.

02:18:57.560 Just stop.

02:18:58.840 I'd rather hear AI guy. 1.00

02:19:01.220 And you could ask him dumb questions. 0.98

02:19:02.960 How's the weather where you are? 0.97

02:19:05.260 Partly sunny with a high temperature of 85.

02:19:08.660 Oh, you are robot.

02:19:10.800 Back in a moment.

02:19:12.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:19:18.780 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:19:23.800 the anthony cumia show and uh the uh chris murphy that's what i wanted to talk about

02:19:34.200 chris murphy a sitting senator uh he's over there what are they doing over in barcelona spain

02:19:41.360 they take these trips and and they're not it doesn't even matter some mayors are over there

02:19:48.700 and governors.

02:19:50.120 What are you doing?

02:19:51.240 It's a trip to Barcelona.

02:19:53.700 And I'm sure they're living it up.

02:19:57.040 These politicians do on your dime.

02:20:00.220 Look what Swalwell's been doing all these years.

02:20:04.180 Partying, girls, booze, hotel rooms, yachts, his buddies.

02:20:10.680 All on our dime.

02:20:14.240 And we'll see what happens to him.

02:20:16.060 I predict nothing.

02:20:17.360 yes even with the allegations of the big r word with women um i predict nothing will happen

02:20:24.860 to eric swalwell they just have this teflon coating all these politicians once in a

02:20:33.200 once in a blue moon one of them has to take a real fall but for the most part they just go

02:20:40.780 that's your time to leave we need a sacrificial lamb don't worry you got your golden parachute

02:20:46.440 Shoot, you got this, you got that, and we'll leave you alone after you leave.

02:20:50.520 It's okay.

02:20:51.520 So they don't really have to answer for anything. 0.99
