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

00:01:05.920 The Anthony Cumia Show. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the program. Definitely appreciate your support.

00:01:13.960 and uh boy lots to talk about of course the spirit airlines um they're well they're gone

00:01:24.840 so many entertaining videos come across my social media from spirit airlines it's amazing

00:01:33.460 oh what anthony are they um amazing aviation videos or the science behind flying the pleasure

00:01:41.860 people get from going to a faraway lands.

00:01:46.080 Nope.

00:01:47.260 We all know what I'm talking about.

00:01:49.580 The amazing mid-flight brawling

00:01:53.240 and the yelling at the ticket counter

00:01:57.260 and the gate

00:01:58.820 and people getting thrown off the planes.

00:02:02.780 We're going to miss that.

00:02:04.340 We do still have Frontier and Southwest, though.

00:02:09.220 Two airlines that were right there

00:02:11.460 with the Spirit, and the Spirit of Spirit will still be on board Frontier and Southwest.

00:02:20.120 Or maybe the airline you like to use, because maybe they'll scrape up a couple of more bucks

00:02:29.860 from the discount airline, that is Spirit, was Spirit, and start taking American or Delta

00:02:39.080 or any of the other not-discount airlines.

00:02:43.920 I was always able to tell when a video was from Spirit

00:02:46.240 because the back of the seats,

00:02:48.760 you'd see somebody recording from their seat,

00:02:51.620 and, of course, the back of the seat in front of them

00:02:54.060 would be on camera,

00:02:56.480 and they looked like cafeteria seats from elementary school.

00:03:02.320 They're very thin.

00:03:04.440 They have that little lip on the edge of the back of the seat,

00:03:08.500 and just had to be so uncomfortable.

00:03:12.000 I never had the pleasure of flying Spirit Air.

00:03:16.480 I did fly Southwest once.

00:03:19.860 I was put in a very terrible position

00:03:23.440 where I could not get a flight on my usual carrier,

00:03:26.300 and I had to take Southwest, and it was just,

00:03:31.940 I mean, you feel like cattle.

00:03:34.220 You really feel like cattle.

00:03:36.040 what was that uh who was the airline indiana jones took in temple of doom

00:03:41.220 lao chi chi with the chickens there are chickens on board with you and uh that's kind of the hay

00:03:51.320 you sat on bills of hay that's kind of how i felt i don't really like the um well you're bored

00:03:59.600 and you take a seat

00:04:02.760 wherever you find one

00:04:04.780 like a bus

00:04:05.560 you just sit down in a seat that you could find

00:04:09.000 I don't like that

00:04:10.620 I like planning ahead

00:04:12.920 I like knowing

00:04:14.860 what seat I'm sitting in

00:04:16.220 what type of plane it is

00:04:18.740 and of course

00:04:21.220 I like

00:04:23.060 the amenities

00:04:23.780 first class

00:04:25.520 that's how your pal Anthony flies

00:04:28.720 If if there's one thing I cannot just be the everyman with, it is the flying experience.

00:04:38.240 And years ago, it wasn't that bad.

00:04:41.880 Coach wasn't that bad many, many years ago.

00:04:46.440 People complained about it because relatively speaking, I guess it wasn't a business or first class.

00:04:54.640 But Coach, a few decades back, is the equivalent of what First Class is now in a lot of the airlines.

00:05:05.540 And First Class now, it barely gets you by.

00:05:11.680 You barely feel like a human.

00:05:15.940 And Coach is just abominable.

00:05:18.740 And then when you go down to some of these discount airlines, it is really not a fun experience.

00:05:26.360 And Delta just decided this is, I think, right about now, right after the Spirit Air was a decision to disappear, came out.

00:05:40.300 So Delta has decided they will no longer serve their little snacks on the plane if the flight is under, I think it's 300 miles.

00:05:51.980 If you're flying a short little hop, a lot of commuters do that.

00:05:56.180 If you're flying from New York to D.C., something like that, they will no longer be serving you those amazing.

00:06:05.340 Oh, the delicacies of the, what is it?

00:06:11.160 The Braniff, the Biscoff, the Biscoff doggy treat that they hand out.

00:06:18.060 Oh, a Biscoff.

00:06:20.400 And water.

00:06:22.440 Of course, you could buy soda or alcoholic beverage if you're on board.

00:06:28.920 But that'll just go away for the people in coach on Delta for flights under 300 miles.

00:06:35.840 Now, if you're still in first class, who the hell would go first class for a 300 mile flight, though?

00:06:43.680 The commuter planes first class for those short flights. 0.96

00:06:48.120 It's ridiculous.

00:06:49.240 You're pretty much paying just to board before everyone else.

00:06:54.400 and maybe, maybe get a mimosa or something while you're still sitting at the gate

00:07:01.440 while the people file into steerage in the back, last class in the back of the plane.

00:07:10.040 But the airline industry has gotten terrible, and it's been that way for quite a few years.

00:07:17.960 I think the COVID situation really, really put a damper on any amenities that you might remember from flying.

00:07:34.180 They were just like, keep your mask on, sit down, shut up, get nothing.

00:07:40.760 Remember when you had to pull your mask down to eat and then put your mask back up on a plane?

00:07:46.900 And you'd shove that horrible cookie that they gave you or your bag of of chips.

00:07:55.380 And they tell you, no, hey, put that up when you're chewing.

00:07:59.680 Put that mask back on your face while you're chewing that gourmet cookie.

00:08:07.780 And it really never came back.

00:08:10.080 They decided they weren't going to serve food.

00:08:12.840 They weren't going to serve drinks to the people in coach.

00:08:16.900 and a lot of it is still that way, still that way.

00:08:22.120 There's nothing, you look years ago, oh, my God, oh, my God.

00:08:28.360 The commercials for air travel back in the 70s, 80s was amazing.

00:08:36.720 You were flying in a restaurant, a gourmet restaurant,

00:08:40.660 And now, you know, I love how they go. We began our initial descent. The flight attendants will come by to gather up any wrappers or anything. Please put your seats up and your tray tables away. Initial descent. We're still a half hour, 40 minutes away from landing.

00:09:10.660 Back in the old days, you'd be you'd hit the runway, still carving your roast beef with a metal knife and fork.

00:09:18.680 Hey, welcome to Denver. Oh, I'm still finishing up my my pork chops.

00:09:27.420 Now you're they really have done away with every amenity, everything that made air travel a little special.

00:09:35.900 And people complain that passengers don't dress appropriately anymore.

00:09:43.140 They don't like people wearing their pajamas, those shower caps and what have you when they fly.

00:09:50.940 And I agree 100 percent.

00:09:53.080 But there's also a responsibility with the airline.

00:09:57.100 If people feel like they're being treated better, maybe they'll dress better.

00:10:02.360 if you know like the old days if you feel like you're uh getting um amazing service amazing food

00:10:10.420 the staff the flight attendants were pretty and personable uh you wanted to dress better

00:10:18.540 that that was just how it felt that's how you you felt you should dress for such an experience

00:10:25.760 I'm not excusing any of these degenerates that dress in pajamas.

00:10:31.600 But, you know, I guess it goes both ways.

00:10:35.700 You want us to dress nice and be courteous.

00:10:40.220 That's another thing.

00:10:41.580 You know, all decorum has gone out the window.

00:10:44.980 As far as air travel goes, we've seen an amazing amount of fights.

00:10:48.820 And the simplest dispute turns into a fist fight.

00:10:54.400 the simpler request turns into an argument and then before you know it everyone's got to get 0.99

00:11:02.100 off the plane because some idiot doesn't want to uh get kicked off because they've uh they've 0.97

00:11:09.080 broken the rules that's that's the difference today people don't feel like they are experiencing 0.99

00:11:16.280 anything special air travel used to be spent and i'm not saying we should look at it like

00:11:22.120 we've never seen a plane before but there's a lot of things that uh require both parties

00:11:30.640 to feel uh some some balance with and if you're going to be treated like you're you're

00:11:40.060 livestock and they'll throw some oats out for you mid-flight then people are going to dress

00:11:47.420 like livestock if they're treated nicely and are given some of those amenities from yesteryear

00:11:55.560 they're going to feel silly if they're dressed terribly when they're being treated so well

00:12:02.440 or maybe i'm just speaking like someone who has a thought process uh from the past that has that

00:12:10.740 remembers things from long ago because i'm certain there will still be people that even if they're

00:12:15.980 They're treated well.

00:12:17.660 They will act like animals on these planes.

00:12:22.420 All right.

00:12:23.220 Look, we are just getting started.

00:12:24.980 If you want to give us a call and comment, 800-848-9222.

00:12:30.880 And we're going to talk a little about Spirit Air and why some of the theories, why they went under.

00:12:39.420 Liz Warren's name comes up.

00:12:41.700 Pete Buttigieg.

00:12:43.240 Owl.

00:12:44.180 His name comes up.

00:12:45.980 Yeah, we'll talk about that and plenty more when the show continues next.

00:12:51.440 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:57.720 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:13:03.840 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:13:06.620 Welcome.

00:13:07.780 Welcome.

00:13:08.660 We're talking about Spirit Air a little bit.

00:13:12.000 An airline goes under.

00:13:13.800 Dunski, gone.

00:13:14.860 Goodbye.

00:13:15.980 And the finger of blame, oh, boy, is it being pointed in all directions. 0.99

00:13:22.400 But somebody that's getting a lot of heat is Liz Warren. 0.98

00:13:29.000 Yes, Liz Warren. 0.99

00:13:31.780 she uh she was uh an advocate for uh the government the united states government blocking

00:13:43.000 a merger that would have taken place between spirit and jet blue jet blue offered up uh 3.8

00:13:50.520 billion with a b dollars in cold hard cash to buy spirit in 2022 shareholders flight attendants

00:13:58.220 union literally everybody voted yes they wanted this to happen the insiders knew that uh spirit

00:14:06.700 was on its last uh last wing on a wing and a prayer if i could make any more airline puns i

00:14:12.980 will trust me and uh i guess liz warren said no she didn't like the idea of less competition

00:14:25.240 she thought a merger between these airlines like other mergers between airlines cuts down on the

00:14:33.480 competition uh a lot of different airlines and and uh discount air make gives uh the people

00:14:41.960 that she so loves and adores the people of america i just love americans the people

00:14:49.740 and she uh she said nope we gotta move forward and block any merger so she did uh she wrote

00:15:00.440 letters pressured a buddha judge biden's doj sued and a federal judge killed the deal in january of

00:15:09.200 2024 her argument of course the merger would have cost consumers one billion dollars a year

00:15:15.920 she was saving the people one billion dollars a year my god what a wonderful person and uh

00:15:25.620 now let's look at some of the collateral damage 510 pilots gone uh in the months after

00:15:34.900 uh they uh they uh lost the deal 1800 flight attendants furloughed in december

00:15:45.040 14 000 jobs in 2023 and 7 500 last week alone and that's just people in spirit uniforms

00:15:58.000 catering goes fuel uh fuel guys baggage crews gate agents airport coffee shops hotels rental cars

00:16:06.240 in 70 cities spirit flew to every airline job carries uh three or more jobs on its back 1.00

00:16:14.060 40 000 people out of work because one woman uh had a moronic crusade against the market

00:16:22.620 that's what it is spirit abandoned 90 roots during the death spiral 0.56

00:16:28.160 fares on those roots are up 14 on average uh

00:16:32.380 and uh senator warren liz warren is the one that really pushed her and buddha judge really pushed 1.00

00:16:43.700 to stop the merger.

00:16:50.640 Let's see what else is going on here.

00:16:52.680 She says, let's see if I can find this one.

00:16:55.580 Oh, yeah.

00:16:56.860 Here's Liz Warren's original post

00:16:59.800 when they were trying to stop the merger

00:17:03.120 between JetBlue and Spirit.

00:17:06.060 She goes, I've warned for months

00:17:08.140 that a JetBlue-Spirit merger

00:17:10.600 would have led to fewer flights

00:17:12.460 and higher fares and then she talks about the department of transportation and the justice

00:17:18.860 department they were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline

00:17:25.260 consolidation this is a biden win for flyers another biden win this is what warren said

00:17:35.700 right when they were trying to stop the merger.

00:17:39.500 Now, here's one of her latest posts

00:17:42.500 about the shutdown of Spirit Air. 0.93

00:17:49.320 Spiking fuel prices from Trump's war

00:17:52.560 was the nail in the coffin

00:17:54.180 for twice-bankrupted Spirit Airlines.

00:17:58.820 The JetBlue merger failed

00:18:01.020 because a judge appointed by Ronald Reagan

00:18:03.620 said the deal was illegal.

00:18:06.340 Republicans are desperate to shift blame

00:18:08.740 from higher costs hitting families.

00:18:13.980 She was integral, an integral part

00:18:19.640 in the merger not happening,

00:18:23.700 which would have saved Spirit,

00:18:26.100 would have been a consolidated airline

00:18:27.920 like we've seen happen in the past

00:18:31.380 between JetBlue and Spirit.

00:18:33.620 But those employees, while there probably would have been some layoffs and redundancies,

00:18:38.360 there always is with a merger, it wouldn't have been this.

00:18:44.120 You have thousands of jobs that are gone.

00:18:47.760 You have people that were stranded in cities.

00:18:51.160 They don't know all the peripheral jobs that come from that.

00:18:55.580 And then you talk about competition.

00:18:58.600 That was their big thing.

00:19:00.560 There's one less airline now. 1.00

00:19:03.620 out there her battle to keep uh airlines competitive resulted in one less airline

00:19:14.300 being out there uh so now the airlines that are left can jack up prices on those routes

00:19:22.380 can take over those routes and and do what they please that's how it goes she's a a commie

00:19:32.780 socialist whatever you want to call it that doesn't understand the free market they gotta

00:19:38.860 get their mitts into everything these politicians mostly democrats they love commies they love

00:19:45.440 you know uh getting getting their snouts into everything americans should be able to do by

00:19:54.500 themselves the free market your your own companies your businesses they gotta get in there

00:20:02.520 and and just shake it all up and that's what you saw happen here so now there are a bunch of uh

00:20:10.240 a bunch of people out of work out of work here's uh pete booted judge this is clip a6 this is him

00:20:21.160 talking about blocking the merger back a couple of years back uh have that work out pete let's

00:20:27.920 listen to a Pete Booty judge. Our department, the Department of Transportation, has generally

00:20:33.000 not gotten involved in these merger cases, but that's changing today. It is so important to make

00:20:40.240 sure that passengers have choices, that they have access to low fares, that they have access to

00:20:46.300 competition, and yet we've seen less and less and less of that competition over the years. We are

00:20:52.220 taking a step that, again, is unusual in terms of recent years, but we think is the right thing to do

00:20:57.840 supporting the doj's lawsuit and uh independently using our own authorities which are a little bit

00:21:04.480 different from the doj uh starting our own investigation and taking other actions

00:21:09.020 yeah good work good job wow that's that's what you want competition you you eliminated jobs

00:21:21.880 and uh she's taking credit or she took credit for it uh she says uh she she's never made out

00:21:31.000 a payroll she's never run a business where she knows about the simplest economics like supply 0.98

00:21:38.600 and demand and what have you she uh was selling it on saving you billions on imaginary paper

00:21:47.440 that's what it is just this imaginary paper oh this is great we're saving you billions well

00:21:54.740 where are the billions oh you'll see it no no they won't bunch of people out of work

00:22:01.280 it's going to cost 10 times that much in uh in real life does she get this she don't

00:22:11.100 she didn't protect consumers from anything 14 000 jobs going to go from working to 0.76

00:22:18.540 perhaps welfare or unemployment and then she blames the billionaires the taxpayers 0.95

00:22:25.940 capitalism rate ronald reagan trump uh higher taxes yeah fewer jobs that's uh that's what

00:22:37.640 liz warren did that's what she did for you a lot of these numbers that i'm getting are from

00:22:46.700 yogi house of yogi on x he posted um a bunch of stuff about what is happening with the spirit and

00:22:56.480 how senator liz warren is involved it's terrible and um she should be ashamed of herself all right

00:23:06.560 Don't go anywhere.

00:23:07.520 Your call's next.

00:23:09.740 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:23:16.040 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:23:22.300 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:23:24.140 Let's go to Larry there in Staten Island.

00:23:26.880 Larry, what's up?

00:23:29.860 I want to just touch on two items.

00:23:31.880 But before that, I want to advise our listeners to stay a prayer for Rudy Giuliani, who is in a hospital right now in Florida.

00:23:40.780 They stay in critical condition, but stable.

00:23:45.120 Please, stay a prayer for him.

00:23:47.640 Yes, indeed.

00:23:48.740 That's terrible.

00:23:49.440 I didn't see that.

00:23:51.740 Yeah.

00:23:52.580 It just came over a little while ago.

00:23:55.900 All right, Larry, what else?

00:23:58.260 I want to talk about two things.

00:23:59.500 one, the Homeland Security budget, how suddenly they raised all this money, put it back in

00:24:06.180 the budget. 0.96

00:24:07.200 Now, I blame two clowns for this, Chuckie G. Schumer and Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Keon Justice. 0.98

00:24:13.440 Yeah. 0.97

00:24:13.940 How can you hold funds back from the Homeland Security?

00:24:19.840 We're in the theater of war in Iran, and it took an attempt or a close attempt of assassination 0.99

00:24:27.180 on a president to wake you stupid people up because the Secret Service is a part of the 1.00

00:24:34.400 Homeland Security. I just get these guys out of here. They got to go. Yeah, I don't know. 1.00

00:24:42.080 They don't they don't they don't care about anything as far as the actual health of the

00:24:50.780 country goes, the safety of the country, anything. It's all about make the other party

00:24:56.680 look like the criminals the bad guys evil tyrannical literally hitler and get as many

00:25:05.760 people to vote for you as possible they don't really care if the politicians in dc cared

00:25:13.460 about this country they would have made sure somehow some way that these agencies were funded

00:25:21.200 because they're integral to the safety of the country so you make it work somehow they just

00:25:28.040 it's that's not their priority it's blatantly obvious that it's not their priority to make

00:25:34.920 sure this country is running uh well they they want the other side to come off looking bad

00:25:41.480 and they want votes for themselves those are the only not just the top priorities the only

00:25:48.420 priorities that they have larry but they don't understand anthony the number one function of

00:25:56.440 government is to provide public security yeah they don't realize that well they they can't even look

00:26:03.560 after the president we've seen that i mean every every clip we see of an attempted assassination

00:26:10.000 and there's plenty these days uh the secret service well you know look i'm not i'm not in

00:26:15.980 their shoes i don't want to be in their shoes but uh boy they don't look like they know what

00:26:21.440 they're doing a lot of times thank you i'm not gonna comment i'm not gonna comment on them

00:26:29.120 is it all right yeah you know i i get you look i'm a i'm a i'm a supporter i'm a supporter of

00:26:36.620 law enforcement i'm support but i i just look uh they get the wrong people in some of these jobs

00:26:44.460 It has to do with diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:26:47.780 It has to do with they want to seem like they're doing the right thing

00:26:51.520 by opening up their law enforcement jobs to everybody.

00:26:56.640 Some people don't belong in those positions.

00:26:59.160 That's just the way it is.

00:27:00.340 We see it all over the place in every major city, police departments,

00:27:05.580 where they're fat, they don't know what they're doing, 1.00

00:27:08.480 The women are incapable of taking down big guys who make up a pretty large portion of your bad guys. 1.00

00:27:17.620 And we still do this. 1.00

00:27:20.340 They still hire people that are incompetent.

00:27:23.840 Why?

00:27:24.480 Why are they doing that, Larry?

00:27:26.740 Politics.

00:27:28.060 It's all politics.

00:27:29.520 Politics, virtue signaling. 1.00

00:27:31.740 They want votes, and they want the fat vote. 1.00

00:27:34.620 They want the woman vote. 0.99

00:27:36.040 So they say you could do anything if you put your mind to it. 1.00

00:27:39.220 Yeah, take down this 300-pound thug, and let's see how that works for you.

00:27:45.680 All right.

00:27:46.340 Larry, thank you, my friend.

00:27:47.880 I can't hang up on Larry because the phone screen went some prompt has to be clicked.

00:27:54.440 You guys back at base camp up there, up there in fancy New York City,

00:27:59.480 you know what I'm talking about.

00:28:02.160 Click that little thing, continue up there on the phone bank.

00:28:05.220 i got you i know i wanted to talk a little about uh about this amazing thing we have these days

00:28:15.000 uh uh ai grok chat gpt uh people are getting very um dependent on ai a lot of people use it

00:28:30.820 As a search engine, instead of putting something in Google, you put it in Grok or some other AI, and it gives you more detailed answers to your questions.

00:28:42.900 So I was watching Oppenheimer, and I love that.

00:28:50.780 second time watching it and uh i just love the the technology and um the fact that so many years ago

00:29:00.500 people were able to figure this stuff out splitting atoms how you do it uh it seems impossible

00:29:11.140 that that people in the late 1800s early 1900s already knew that there were these things

00:29:19.880 called atoms knew what they were composed of and how to split an atom they figured out how to split

00:29:31.140 an atom with the firing a neutron at it it's amazing and and from the time they even started

00:29:40.260 figuring out that there were atoms up until the the invention of atomic bombs and and nuclear power

00:29:50.480 plants was a relatively short period of time and uh i got very curious as to how all this stuff

00:29:59.820 works you know uranium plutonium how do they turn uranium into plutonium plutonium isn't even a

00:30:08.100 a naturally occurring element it occurs very very small in very small levels naturally through uh

00:30:16.600 the decay of uranium but it had to be made it had to be produced and they knew how to do that

00:30:26.640 by taking uranium and altering it with neutrons and and decay and that turns into neptunium

00:30:37.080 and then plutonium and i was just fascinated by this so i spent quite a bit of time with uh grok

00:30:46.760 which is elon musk's artificial intelligence uh and i i was just asking a lot of questions

00:30:55.840 about nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants and uranium plutonium different types of bombs the the

00:31:05.880 gun bomb that was used on Hiroshima the implosion bomb that was used in Nagasaki and

00:31:11.960 uh and then I just got this this whoosh of adrenaline and nervousness thinking what

00:31:23.820 is is somebody looking at my search what would someone think if they saw some guy

00:31:32.780 asking so many questions i'm not a teacher i'm not a physicist

00:31:39.540 uh i'm a controversial conservative talker what would someone think if if i was inquiring about

00:31:50.240 this and it wasn't just some passing kind of laugh we're like oh god could you imagine if

00:31:57.400 that someone in the government or law enforcement

00:32:02.700 or the they in the New World Order

00:32:05.560 sees me inquiring about this stuff.

00:32:11.160 And it really put, like, this paranoia

00:32:16.180 and kind of a fear into me

00:32:20.360 that we have the ability to ask AI all these questions,

00:32:25.860 But what is the cost?

00:32:29.300 Who's looking at it?

00:32:30.720 That isn't AI, you know, grok.

00:32:34.560 It's not on your phone.

00:32:37.040 Oh, it's the app.

00:32:38.220 It's on my phone.

00:32:38.900 It's not like, you know, you're using an app that is completely self-contained on your phone.

00:32:46.520 This goes somewhere.

00:32:48.060 That question you ask goes somewhere.

00:32:51.380 It's in a giant building with processors, whirring fans, and air conditioning units.

00:33:01.600 And then it comes up with an answer to your query and sends it back to your phone.

00:33:09.560 And to think that that isn't being looked at by people would be pretty naive.

00:33:15.940 maybe not being looked at by people in every instance but it's certainly being looked at by

00:33:22.100 the the computers itself by the algorithm and perhaps that can pop a red flag up at some point

00:33:32.280 and maybe eventually it does get down to a real person that has to go maybe we ought to look into

00:33:39.740 this this person is asking some pretty um unique questions so how concerned do you think we have to

00:33:51.220 be as uh people and as citizens of the united states with states which supposedly is a free

00:34:02.380 country where where you would assume they would love to have a population that is curious and

00:34:09.660 wants to ask questions and get answers but we've seen we've seen what happens to

00:34:17.800 certain people that ask certain questions in this country i never would have thought this

00:34:25.160 years ago but years ago you know you had to go to a library and were they looking at what you

00:34:32.120 were flicking through in in the dewey decimal system card catalog what is he what is he pawing

00:34:39.980 through their natural science what is he is he looking up but uh now your your questions

00:34:47.880 and your answers are going through the air they're being picked up by computers and

00:34:56.220 and there's an algorithm and there's people that own and run the companies that

00:35:02.460 are giving you those answers it's a little frightening it is a little frightening

00:35:08.660 uh so if you got a any any uh opinion on that 800-848-9222 tony clifton new jersey what's up

00:35:19.400 yellow tony you started your conversation with my favorite senator elizabeth warren

00:35:27.480 oh yeah no i i i know we we change subjects here but uh i never uh i never fret about what the

00:35:34.320 callers want to talk about so anthony you know as i look at what's happening in our country as

00:35:41.140 president trump trying to change it i look at what's going on in the democratic party like we

00:35:46.060 all do. And we try to sort of just go with the flow. And Nancy Pelosi was a groomer. See,

00:35:52.900 the Democrat Party is a groomer, a political groomer. And a lot of it is pretty nasty to me. 0.84

00:35:59.340 I mean, Pelosi groomed Eric Swalwell. And look what, you know, she knew about him. And we say

00:36:07.560 even Joe Biden was kind of a weird kind of groomer person. He was very strange around young people.

00:36:13.740 And we're looking at we're looking at someone like Elizabeth Warren, who she is in the party to groom. 1.00

00:36:23.920 That's Pocahontas. She has groomed Ocasio-Cortez. 0.96

00:36:28.320 She's grooming sort of the like you said, the whole thing with the airlines, whatever the party needs.

00:36:34.580 She is their groomer, a propagandist. And it's really nasty what's going on.

00:36:39.440 And President Trump, God bless him, is trying to invert all these things.

00:36:43.740 But that's the term I think of, Anthony, like political groomers of the nasty sort.

00:36:49.100 And I really thank you for pointing it all out because I didn't even focus on what they were doing with the airlines, which is disgusting itself.

00:36:55.820 Yeah. You know, you bring up a great point, though, because we don't think of politics like that, or at least we didn't used to.

00:37:01.840 And now some people are waking up, but not enough.

00:37:05.240 These lifer politicians like Pelosi, these people that have been in there a long time,

00:37:10.740 They get these newcomers like AOC was a few years back, and I guess relatively speaking to some of these ancient politicians, she's still considered a kid and a newbie at this.

00:37:23.060 They take them under their wing not to listen to their new ideas and talk to them about their commitment to the people of America.

00:37:33.980 And it's to make sure they toe the company line, stick to the agendas that these people have been pumping out their entire careers, which sometimes is over a half century long in public office.

00:37:52.720 So grooming, while it's usually used for more horrible sexual crimes, is a great term.

00:38:01.780 You bring up a good term there, Tony, for what these people do with these new politicians.

00:38:07.580 Look at what you talk about.

00:38:08.740 You talk about Elizabeth Warren and what she did with Spirit Air.

00:38:12.160 Look at what AOC did chasing away, what was that, Amazon, out of her district.

00:38:19.940 Amazon was going to build a warehouse, a delivery facility in AOC's district in Queens, New York.

00:38:29.720 And what happened? 0.98

00:38:30.740 She chased them away, saying, no, we don't want this company that doesn't pay their fair share in taxes and cost her district huge amounts of money in in taxes from the employees that that would have gotten. 0.97

00:38:46.900 And then the peripheral, people have to go to lunch in diners and restaurants and delis in her district. 0.98

00:38:55.400 All of that was flushed down the toilet because, like AOC, oh, they don't pay their fair share.

00:39:02.760 And now you have nothing.

00:39:04.800 Just like spirit.

00:39:05.960 You wanted this.

00:39:07.060 You want competition.

00:39:08.180 Now you have nothing.

00:39:10.220 So they're birds of a feather.

00:39:12.200 And, yeah, Tony, thanks a lot.

00:39:14.060 Grooming is a good term.

00:39:16.900 oh sorry i didn't think she was speaking up again but yeah that's how they they operate

00:39:24.900 they're constantly screwing things up they need to make it feel like they're they're working for

00:39:33.980 the people they do not care about the people their policies make that blatantly obvious

00:39:39.940 obvious their um their priorities make it blatantly obvious uh and and like i said just

00:39:47.660 like spirit air aoc chased away amazon from her district and it was under this we pay taxes i have

00:39:57.600 teachers and and construction workers in my district and they pay taxes i'm not going to 0.71

00:40:04.160 have some company come in here that doesn't pay their fair share and she thinks that her

00:40:11.400 constituents are going to go yeah AOC is one of us she's behind us and unfortunately enough of them 1.00

00:40:18.580 do to keep voting for her but the bottom line is she cost her district so much money so much tax 1.00

00:40:29.320 revenue jobs prosperity for local businesses and it's exactly what uh liz warren did with uh with 1.00

00:40:42.860 the jet blue spirit deal oh no big companies billion dollar companies uniting it could only

00:40:51.900 be to to uh do horrible things to the people that i care about and now look one less airline good

00:41:00.920 job good job well done liz have another beer i'm gonna have me a beer remember that one

00:41:09.580 she was the the leading candidate for the democrats in 2016 during the primaries for 0.58

00:41:18.000 three seconds remember that everyone's like oh could it be liz warren could she be the nominee 0.99

00:41:24.860 for the democrat and she stepped on that rake 20 times in between that and the actual uh 1.00

00:41:36.620 nomination uh of joe biden so she's an idiot aoc's an idiot people just don't want to admit 1.00

00:41:47.520 and and other people are too stupid to vote for anyone else they see the democrat they see oh 1.00

00:41:55.340 the free things for people they fight for the american people and they're too stupid to see 1.00

00:42:01.000 what's right in front of their face they're not fighting for you they're fighting for their 0.99

00:42:05.340 themselves and votes and uh whatever contributions they could get to their campaigns

00:42:12.740 all right plenty more to come don't you go anywhere the anthony cumia show continues after

00:42:18.960 this it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:42:24.920 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:42:31.720 the anthony cumia show and uh we got a bunch of stuff to talk about tonight that's for sure

00:42:40.840 But no evening would be complete.

00:42:43.380 No Sunday evening on this program would be complete without a little Zoran Mamdani news.

00:42:50.620 Zoran Mamdani, your great mayor of New York City, New York.

00:42:56.760 And he has declared, didn't see this coming, didn't know this was going to happen.

00:43:02.840 Do you know there's a budget crisis in New York?

00:43:06.260 Oh, my goodness.

00:43:08.820 Yes, there is.

00:43:09.980 He's got a $5.5 billion shortfall in the budget.

00:43:19.020 And he thinks he can tax his way out of it.

00:43:25.740 He keeps coming up with these new programs and expensive, free stuff that he wants to implement.

00:43:36.060 These are the things that got him elected.

00:43:38.340 Let's be real.

00:43:39.380 He got on the scene, got on Instagram, smiling, making his funny little social media videos, and they sucked it up.

00:43:50.020 They lapped it right up, and they love the guy.

00:43:53.200 He's going to give us free buses, free child care, free health care, rent freezes, grocery stores, commie grocery stores, all this stuff.

00:44:09.380 cost an unbelievable amount of money that new york city just does not have not even close

00:44:16.240 you got to start ripping down a lot of these programs uh before you could even get close

00:44:24.520 to trying to balance a budget and new york city is one of these places that the law requires them

00:44:32.120 to balance the budget to have a balanced budget so he's kind of freaking out and what is what

00:44:39.800 does he want to talk about cutting cutting the the cost the expense uh of of government in new

00:44:48.220 york city nope it's all about taxes that's all he wants to do uh let's see what mom danny says

00:44:54.940 about his budget crisis, AC3.

00:45:04.400 Boo, boo, boo, boo.

00:45:06.720 AC3 is the clip.

00:45:09.400 Montana budget crisis.

00:45:12.700 You got it?

00:45:13.940 No.

00:45:16.860 Hello?

00:45:18.080 Ground control to Major Tom.

00:45:21.320 New York City faces a budget crisis

00:45:23.040 of a historic magnitude.

00:45:24.940 We inherited a deficit larger than any since the Great Recession.

00:45:29.400 Years of mismanagement and chronic under-budgeting, alongside a structural imbalance between what New York City sends to the state and what we receive in return, have taken a toll.

00:45:39.140 We cannot close this deficit with savings alone.

00:45:42.220 We need new revenue, and we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state.

00:45:47.260 That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget, and to do so without imposing a financial burden onto the backs of working people.

00:45:57.300 I'm glad to partner with Speaker Menon as we call upon Albany and deliver a balanced budget.

00:46:02.880 Together, we are extending the executive budget deadline from this coming Friday until May 12th, because a crisis at this scale cannot be solved without state action.

00:46:11.400 I want to be clear. We are not simply asking others to act.

00:46:15.600 New York City is doing our part.

00:46:18.180 We are committed to governing with the fiscal responsibility this moment demands.

00:46:22.380 Speaker Mennon and I have already identified meaningful savings,

00:46:25.380 and we will continue that work carefully, deliberately,

00:46:28.940 and without cutting the services that New Yorkers rely on.

00:46:31.740 But we cannot do it alone.

00:46:33.900 That is why we are standing together this morning to underscore what is at stake

00:46:37.760 and to call on Albany to deliver additional revenue.

00:46:41.220 Call on Albany to deliver revenue.

00:46:45.080 under budget i like how he said that that they're um they're giving uh the money that he's getting

00:46:52.000 from albany is under budget you have to stop spending on useless commie things

00:47:04.580 that aren't going to help anyone they're they're these boondoggles and and he wants more money

00:47:13.020 from albany he wants to give less money out unless it's to these programs and he wants to

00:47:21.040 tax the hell out of anyone left that is actually contributing to new york city i just saw in in

00:47:31.420 one of the proposals the budget proposals there's 15 million dollars for his free buses now we've

00:47:41.400 heard this is going to cost seven billion dollars at least um maybe uh maybe it was 14 billion i

00:47:49.560 think uh huge amounts of money for his free fast buses but uh 15 million to get one free bus line

00:48:00.660 in each of the five boroughs this is just so he can say look what i did i gave you the free buses

00:48:09.100 i promised not you know because most people won't know it's just one line in each borough

00:48:16.080 which amounts to nothing but it's going to cost 15 million dollars just so he can brag that he

00:48:23.240 brought people the free buses that he had promised it's like with the child care free child care i'm

00:48:30.620 putting it out there for everyone it's for such a small amount of children but look what i did

00:48:38.700 like the grocery store yep free groceries or or low-cost groceries it's one store in one borough 0.51

00:48:47.520 and then he's hoping to get one in each of the five boroughs so he's a liar we all say it all

00:48:54.080 right back in a moment stick around more to come it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple

00:49:01.140 podcast network it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:49:09.300 the anthony cumia show thanks for tuning in and uh i want to talk about uh who could have been

00:49:19.320 could have been your governor new york lee zeldin lee's a good guy i like lee zeldin he was uh

00:49:28.700 on Capitol Hill there talking with Rosa DeLauro. 0.89

00:49:37.740 She's that insane old lady with the blue hair. 1.00

00:49:43.400 She got blue streaks in her hair and she looks like she's a thousand years old. 0.99

00:49:51.180 And I love when things like this happen.

00:49:54.240 Zeldin's talking to her.

00:49:55.840 She's going off on climate change nonsense.

00:50:00.560 And Zeldin just buries her.

00:50:03.440 And this happens all the time because Democrats run on 100% emotion.

00:50:12.360 It's all emotional-based drivel.

00:50:15.740 They're trying to win the hearts and minds of their constituents,

00:50:20.340 and get their money from them and get their votes by saying we care

00:50:26.500 and we're doing things for you.

00:50:28.800 And meanwhile, sometimes the truth is a little harder than that.

00:50:36.780 And facts don't fit into this nice Hallmark card

00:50:41.280 that Democrats like handing out to their voters.

00:50:46.720 Lee Zeldin, he's talking to Rosa DeLauro about climate change,

00:50:52.800 and he just nails her.

00:50:55.560 Listen to this one.

00:50:58.500 Do you got the clip where you need a number?

00:51:01.740 Oh, AC1.

00:51:04.860 The budget proposal reads like a climate change deniers manifesto.

00:51:11.800 When climate change is flooding our streets,

00:51:15.760 poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster cuts,

00:51:19.660 how can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans

00:51:24.140 to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth?

00:51:27.800 Following the law, Section 202 of the Clean Air Act,

00:51:30.440 where does this say anything about fighting global climate change?

00:51:34.780 Loper Bright, Supreme Court case.

00:51:36.540 Are you familiar with it?

00:51:37.940 No, maybe others are not, but let me ask you.

00:51:40.800 But that's really important.

00:51:41.740 As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we, as an agency,

00:51:45.760 don't have the authority to get creative

00:51:48.000 if Section 202 of the Clean Air Act

00:51:49.880 No, but you don't have, excuse me

00:51:51.880 you do not have the right

00:51:53.600 to say climate change does not exist

00:51:55.920 that it's a hoax and that's where this

00:51:58.000 administration is coming from. I understand you're upset that you don't know

00:51:59.980 what Loper Bride is. Do you know what the major policies

00:52:01.880 doctrine is? I'm upset because

00:52:03.620 Do you know what the major policies doctrine is?

00:52:05.560 You're a member of Congress, you should know.

00:52:07.560 Well, you have moved

00:52:09.760 from someone who defended the environment

00:52:12.000 to all of a sudden... I'm very defensive

00:52:13.760 about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases

00:52:17.200 of the last year with regards to your question.

00:52:19.580 You are very defensive about changing your policy

00:52:22.880 and your positions with regard to the environment.

00:52:25.920 Now, do just tell me.

00:52:26.820 You want me to tell you what the two biggest Supreme Court cases are

00:52:29.660 of the last few years?

00:52:30.520 That's what I want you to tell me.

00:52:31.280 Michigan versus EPA?

00:52:32.680 Whoa.

00:52:33.220 West Virginia versus EPA?

00:52:34.160 You know, you're here because you need money from us,

00:52:36.400 so halt for the second and wait for the questions

00:52:39.220 and answer the questions.

00:52:40.440 Well, I answered your question.

00:52:41.620 No, you didn't.

00:52:42.020 You didn't like my answer because you don't know what Loperbrite is,

00:52:44.740 because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is,

00:52:46.800 because you're asking me about Section 202 of the Clean Air Act,

00:52:51.760 and you don't read it.

00:52:52.980 You don't know what it says.

00:52:54.020 Listen, and what you want to do is to deny you want to...

00:52:57.240 No, I actually read the law.

00:52:58.560 I do my homework.

00:52:59.780 Really?

00:53:00.220 You're just somebody who likes to have the microphone on.

00:53:02.940 You know what I have to do?

00:53:03.960 I read the law.

00:53:04.980 I read the Supreme Court cases.

00:53:07.220 And I would say...

00:53:07.960 No, what you should do for your constituents is actually read statute.

00:53:10.980 Your budget is at real risk.

00:53:12.860 Read your Supreme Court.

00:53:14.220 This is the Appropriations Committee.

00:53:15.720 Oh, you care about science, now you're threatening to defund it?

00:53:19.260 Oh, my God.

00:53:19.840 No, you don't fund science.

00:53:20.720 Because you don't know what Loper Bray is.

00:53:22.380 You are climate deniers.

00:53:22.660 Because you don't know what the major policy doctrine is.

00:53:24.680 You are climate deniers.

00:53:24.780 Your message to our folks at the EPA is that you wanted to fund us.

00:53:29.020 I don't have to listen to this BS.

00:53:30.620 BS?

00:53:30.940 Yeah, you do.

00:53:32.100 You think I made up these cases?

00:53:34.160 Yeah, I think you have made up a whole lot of people.

00:53:35.880 I made up Loper Bray.

00:53:37.740 I made up West Virginia versus EPA.

00:53:39.420 I made up Michigan versus EPA.

00:53:41.900 Woe is right.

00:53:43.580 What are you doing?

00:53:44.920 Why are you helping polluters?

00:53:47.780 We're not going to get very far by talking on.

00:53:51.040 You could cut it there.

00:53:52.260 That is a picture-perfect look at a liberal Democrat talking with anybody,

00:54:04.480 not even another politician or a conservative, just anybody.

00:54:08.660 there is just pure emotion no logic no reason zeldin had her right there she she wasn't

00:54:20.980 knowledgeable on some of the precedent that had already been set uh according to uh what he uh 0.98

00:54:29.360 what he was talking about and the fact that she said you're here to get money from us

00:54:36.820 what if you don't agree with rosa delauro you don't get financing from the appropriations

00:54:48.340 committee everyone has to go in front of the appropriations committee with their hat in hand

00:54:53.160 and and say we need money for this and this and this and and and there is no personal 1.00

00:55:02.500 you're not supposed to put anything personal in it this rosa delauro isn't supposed to go

00:55:08.940 oh i don't like what you're saying personally i don't i don't like that you don't believe

00:55:15.120 in climate change like i do or i say i do so i could virtue signal so i'm gonna hold this money

00:55:24.180 over your head and maybe not give it to you because you don't agree with me on a lot of

00:55:30.160 these issues that's what they do that is exactly what they do it's uh wow and again she's been

00:55:41.460 there forever she she gets re-elected and and you go out uh into this country you you go into the

00:55:54.520 the city you live near the town you live in and it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of the 0.99

00:56:02.320 people that would vote for this idiot walking around i go out i talk to people i don't i don't 0.97

00:56:11.500 come across a lot of people that would go oh yeah i vote for rosa delorio she's or deloro 1.00

00:56:17.640 she's uh she's great did you hear a rambling like an idiot because she didn't understand 0.96

00:56:25.180 some of the laws and and uh precedent that was already set no i i don't know anybody 0.99

00:56:34.880 who says that but for some reason this is this is what we have in office and and you know i get i

00:56:47.000 get accused all the time of siding up with republicans and republicans can do no wrong and

00:56:53.200 that's just not true when when things happen i call them as i see them i have a lot of

00:56:59.680 disagreements with republicans um and and uh the president trump but but i mean it's so

00:57:09.740 common to see these democrats just babbling and trying to to get their voters to to

00:57:20.960 to vote for them i know it's part of the job but to blatantly lie and they're so uninformed about

00:57:29.860 everything listen to them talk about gun control they know nothing about guns they know nothing

00:57:37.980 about the laws they can't even define an assault weapon and they go out there and they'll speak

00:57:45.440 like they know everything about it oh boy steve plainview new york what's up steve

00:57:55.100 hey anthony all right you're the best one how you doing you know spirit airlines you mentioned

00:58:05.380 before someone heard something about it so all those people that took that airline got to take

00:58:13.540 another form of transportation now right yeah so you know what i'm thinking

00:58:19.920 that means we're going to get slashed on amtrak too and not just the new york city subway

00:58:26.260 well you know they're going to need another way to travel and we know how how crazy and

00:58:33.280 debaucherous some of those spirit airline passengers have been in the past you never know

00:58:39.440 yeah so i think hilltrak's gonna be a little scary it's gonna be like the new york city subway

00:58:45.620 i i was thinking it might be nice though maybe it'll price out some people that don't know how

00:58:52.060 to behave uh out in public and maybe you know but i think it's just gonna they're just gonna

00:58:59.280 to start encroaching on other forms of transportation and and maybe on to you know some of the cheaper

00:59:05.580 american airlines flights maybe i don't know who knows cheap out there which which what's

00:59:11.340 the next step up from spirit i don't know uh well you maybe southwest it's just as bad but it's a

00:59:19.580 little better maybe if you still get that uh the fights at 30 000 feet but um i don't know frontier

00:59:28.820 That's terrible, too.

00:59:30.000 Frontier, yeah, that's one.

00:59:31.460 Yeah.

00:59:31.920 I don't know, man.

00:59:33.480 Good luck to everybody flying out there.

00:59:36.040 Thanks, Steve.

00:59:37.920 Yeah, I don't know what the hell, what's going to happen with that.

00:59:42.360 It would be nice to return to a simpler time when people who flew knew that it was, you're out in public, you're on something that is a miraculous machine.

00:59:56.020 and to sit down and shut up no one used to get in fights on a plane no one used to argue

01:00:04.160 with people on the plane uh mike how you doing mike st james out there long island new york what's

01:00:12.180 up hi anthony uh if the nassau county executive wins the november election for governor can he

01:00:20.340 Blakeman

01:00:21.900 Blakeman

01:00:23.860 can he remove the mayor

01:00:26.380 or does he have to go through the legislature

01:00:28.480 and a lot of legal stuff

01:00:30.220 or can he just take him out and put in

01:00:32.400 who he wants

01:00:33.020 I'm certain it's a big

01:00:36.040 complicated red tape

01:00:38.740 affair

01:00:39.960 you can't just remove

01:00:41.880 a mayor like that

01:00:43.880 it would be nice

01:00:44.820 I don't see it happening

01:00:49.400 He's going to do his four years.

01:00:52.120 If New York still looks the same and has the same demographic, he's going to do eight years.

01:00:58.860 There doesn't seem to be a scenario where a responsible, fiscally responsible, crime-fighting mayor gets into the mansion over there, Gracie Mansion in New York City.

01:01:12.000 I can't imagine it happening.

01:01:16.120 Do you have grounds that the mayor's policies could bankrupt the city?

01:01:21.260 I don't know.

01:01:22.400 Does New York have a recall?

01:01:24.660 Can it be put to a vote?

01:01:26.740 But, again, you're getting the same people that voted him in would vote for him.

01:01:31.960 So I just don't see it happening.

01:01:35.480 New York seems to be condemned.

01:01:36.760 And I've said it in the past, unless there's some real cataclysmic event that really changes people's minds,

01:01:44.320 uh the same stuff just happens over and over again they keep electing in uh these people that

01:01:51.060 new york's best interest is not in their hearts or minds i don't know that mike

01:01:58.460 what thank you sir there goes uh mike yeah i don't know all right we'll be back in a matter

01:02:09.420 of moments don't go anywhere it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:02:16.900 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:02:23.680 the anthony cumia show we're just going around the uh the map of the united states pointing out

01:02:33.260 various politicians mayors governors senators congress people i have to say that i have to be

01:02:40.220 all nice i can't say congressman anymore i say congress people and um let's focus on illinois

01:02:48.380 for a bit uh darren daly daily uh bailey yeah daily what am i doing he's uh running for the

01:02:58.660 governor of illinois governor of illinois and uh he wants to repeal the safety act

01:03:06.880 now doesn't that sound crazy why would you repeal something called the safety act

01:03:13.760 doesn't that make people safer these are your um these are your uh uh acts your bills

01:03:22.960 your executive orders that get signed and put in place, and they are not safe.

01:03:29.940 New York has a SAFE Act.

01:03:32.740 Illinois has a Safety Act.

01:03:35.620 And what this does is let violent felons, hardened criminals, out of jail

01:03:46.760 while they await their next court appearance

01:03:50.780 because it's cruel and nasty and terrible

01:03:54.800 to leave them in jail.

01:03:57.820 Why not let them out where they can terrorize, 0.86

01:04:01.140 horrify, assault, and even murder the citizens, 0.81

01:04:07.700 the actual contributing citizens of, 0.90

01:04:12.060 in this case, Illinois, Chicago.

01:04:14.460 He wants to repeal the Safety Act through the John Bartholomew Act.

01:04:22.400 This was a cop that was murdered by...

01:04:28.460 The story is insane.

01:04:30.360 This guy had an ankle monitor on,

01:04:34.480 and the judge, he had committed a crime with the ankle monitor on,

01:04:38.920 a violent crime,

01:04:41.060 came before the judge,

01:04:42.640 and the judge said well release him again with the ankle monitor and he went on to murder a

01:04:51.080 police officer john bartholomew uh that this no bail thing is a failed experiment everyone knew

01:05:01.780 it was going to fail they they tried to lie to everyone and say it was just going to be for the

01:05:09.140 poor fella that they found a roach in his ashtray oh and then they throw him in jail for a extended

01:05:17.760 period of time while he waits for um for uh his court appearance and they said that but the truth

01:05:26.880 of the matter is they are releasing some of the worst most violent offenders back out into society

01:05:36.820 and they are doing exactly what they do being violent rape robbery assault murder

01:05:45.980 it's happening and unfortunately it cost a cop his life this never should have happened

01:05:54.520 this was absolutely avoidable if the judge would have done their job and kept this guy in jail

01:06:03.020 so uh here is uh darren daly and he is going to talk about i have a b and a d here it looks the

01:06:13.460 same he's going to talk about repealing the safety act let's let's listen shall we now i have been

01:06:20.100 clear from day one i believe that the safety act must be fully repealed not tweaked not adjusted

01:06:28.040 completely repealed

01:06:29.920 but while Springfield

01:06:32.320 drags its feet

01:06:33.340 people are at risk right now

01:06:35.560 they're at risk today

01:06:37.060 so today I'm announcing

01:06:41.020 the John Bartholomew

01:06:42.440 Public Safety and Pre-Trial

01:06:45.000 Justice Act

01:06:45.940 and this is simply common sense

01:06:49.020 if a judge believes

01:06:51.160 that someone is

01:06:52.520 more likely than not

01:06:54.900 to be a danger to community

01:06:56.520 they stay in jail period we fix electronic monitoring because right now we have to be

01:07:04.760 honest with ourselves it's basically the honor system that ends violent offenders will be

01:07:11.800 supervised by real law enforcement people with the authority to act when something goes wrong

01:07:19.700 And if you violate your monitor, even once, you're back in front of a judge within 48 hours.

01:07:27.800 No loopholes, no excuses, no second chances.

01:07:32.520 You don't get unlimited chances to break the law in Illinois anymore.

01:07:39.040 It's Bailey. Thank you.

01:07:41.180 Darren Bailey.

01:07:42.560 I like what he's saying.

01:07:44.000 the only thing i didn't like is we got to make sure these uh monitors are monitored

01:07:50.900 if you're a violent offender and you're given a a monitor they have to have people that look

01:07:57.920 after it and then if you uh violate it you're brought into court 48 hours later is it how about

01:08:04.780 no monitoring of violent offenders how about the monitoring is done in a jail by corrections

01:08:14.480 officers that's the only monitoring these people need you you are it's still the honor system

01:08:23.980 do you know how much damage some of these violent offenders can do in 48 hours if you violate

01:08:31.780 your monitor you're back in front of a judge in 48 hours that gives him two days

01:08:38.540 to to do unspeakable uh damage to people how many cops you think they could kill how many people can

01:08:47.720 they rape rob and assault before they get uh uh back in custody in front of a judge

01:08:55.060 that needs to stop it it sounds better than just let him out they wear these monitors now the

01:09:04.560 monitor doesn't even go to the police it goes to the court system some judge counsel and they don't

01:09:12.920 do anything about it they don't have the infrastructure in place to actually do anything

01:09:17.840 about someone skipping out on their monitor i mean literally nothing there's no one alerted

01:09:27.080 the cops aren't alerted no uh apb or be on the lookout is put out for the person

01:09:33.500 it's it's absolutely just the honor system amongst the most dishonorable people you'll

01:09:42.120 you'll ever find the violent criminal who does not care about anyone but he's a lot better than

01:09:50.640 pritzker as far as anything goes especially with the actual safety of the people at least

01:10:00.080 he's commenting on it at least he's acknowledging that police officers are being killed by violent

01:10:09.180 felons that are being let out and this isn't just illinois or chicago illinois this is every single

01:10:15.880 big city in the country they've all uh adopted this this safety act the irony the insult to name 0.97

01:10:28.020 it safety act letting people out of jail that have perpetrated unbelievable violence against people

01:10:39.140 and they call it safety anyone that's signed on to that bill looking at it being called the safety

01:10:47.840 act needs to be tossed out of office lickety split excuse my language but there's no way

01:10:56.100 uh people should just look at that and not be insulted that they're taunting you with something

01:11:05.300 called safety act when when it it is something that puts you in danger the whole policy of

01:11:13.240 releasing violent felons with no bail does nothing but put you in danger and they just

01:11:21.780 keep doing it and the bodies pile up and they just keep doing it it's got to be repealed

01:11:29.360 Back in a moment.

01:11:31.000 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:37.260 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:43.580 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:11:45.200 Let's go right to my old stomping ground, East Northport, New York.

01:11:50.160 Wendy, how are you this evening?

01:11:53.420 I'm just peachy keen.

01:11:55.060 Hope you are, too.

01:11:55.940 So I just wanted to comment on that congresswoman who is talking with Lee about environmental pollution.

01:12:04.700 Oh, yes, yes. Rosa DeLauro. 0.72

01:12:07.840 Yes. Well, I don't really think the problem is so much with her.

01:12:10.520 I think it's all of her brainwashed constituents who've been brainwashed into thinking that we are basically causing the temperature on the earth to rise.

01:12:22.440 And even if that were true, everybody on the planet has to kick in because pollution doesn't just happen over California or New York City.

01:12:33.220 Air does travel.

01:12:35.140 So, you know, if China is building 25 coal plants, maybe we should be investing in clean coal.

01:12:43.120 Yeah.

01:12:43.720 I mean, if if it was the case where every country had its own air above it and it was based on how how you took care of your your environment, the United States would have the cleanest air on the planet over it.

01:12:59.580 And that's amazing for being such an industrial, amazingly innovative country.

01:13:08.100 India, China, all of Africa, they are working on technology from the early industrial age.

01:13:18.800 Coal just pumping out without any reclaiming of the pollution.

01:13:24.940 Why is that our problem?

01:13:26.500 It might be our problem globally as far as the environment goes, but it shouldn't be our financial problem.

01:13:34.200 We're doing our part.

01:13:35.840 Why do we have to pay into this, like the old Paris Accord?

01:13:40.640 We were dumping more money than any other country into the Paris Accord.

01:13:44.440 We've already done our job.

01:13:46.340 We've cleaned up our industry in this country as much as we can.

01:13:50.140 We're amazing at it. 1.00

01:13:51.720 and then you've got these third-world countries that are trying to become industrialized nations, 0.97

01:13:59.380 and they're the real criminals. 0.89

01:14:01.160 They don't pay a dime.

01:14:02.680 And we have to suffer the consequences of having to press a button 1.00

01:14:06.420 so our car doesn't shut off at every stoplight because India can't clean up their act? 1.00

01:14:13.160 Go screw. 1.00

01:14:15.280 Yeah, so we should be doing more manufacturing here in the United States

01:14:20.520 since we do it cleaner than the other countries if you really believe that we are causing climate

01:14:26.040 change well that's another thing we uh it's more expensive to make stuff cleaner than it is to just

01:14:33.800 pump stuff into the atmosphere so our goods are more expensive another reason our goods are more

01:14:40.080 expensive is that but we we pay the price uh no one else seems to want to do it the united states

01:14:46.360 has always been the atm of uh the world we're expected to pay more than anyone else for

01:14:53.140 everything even stuff we're not um responsible uh for and yeah the climate change thing i brought

01:15:00.220 this up the other day uh look at the first picture ever taken of plymouth rock and then take one

01:15:07.380 today the the level of the water is exactly the same and they talk about the sea levels will rise

01:15:14.540 and this will happen there hasn't been any significant sea level rise uh in in generations

01:15:23.180 and uh we're a lot cleaner now than we were so what happened shouldn't this have happened already

01:15:28.760 it's a lie it's another grift um that that the left does to get money and votes

01:15:35.540 and villainize people that don't believe it

01:15:38.860 wendy thank you there goes wendy east northport i went to school there john h glenn uh high school

01:15:50.020 back in the olden days it was a one-room schoolhouse all right maybe not that old

01:15:57.800 uh let us go to we'll whisk you off to minnesota where lieutenant governor peggy flanagan

01:16:08.460 Hey, Peggy Flanagan, don't you know how we are doing, Peggy Flanagan? 1.00

01:16:14.300 Lieutenant Governor, she has a problem with the Lake and Riley law. 0.99

01:16:22.340 This is just who the hell has a problem? 0.95

01:16:26.720 Lake and Riley, of course, we remember a young woman out jogging a habitual, violent, illegal alien offender.

01:16:38.460 murdered her and uh the lake and riley law uh is is supposed to keep this from happening

01:16:49.180 deporting uh these criminal illegals making sure that local law enforcement informs ice

01:16:59.360 as to uh their crimes and where they are that way they're not let loose by these local law

01:17:08.300 enforcement uh and and able to perpetrate horrible crimes like the murder of lake and riley

01:17:15.440 what a reasonable law this isn't some law that should be controversial controversial in any way

01:17:23.760 let's keep our citizens from being murdered by illegal aliens that that by the the

01:17:31.680 them being here illegally makes them a criminal 0.98

01:17:35.800 and let's not have sanctuary cities 0.74

01:17:39.500 and sanctuary states where when they're arrested

01:17:43.820 it's all on the qt keep it quiet from ice

01:17:48.120 just let him go and you end up with a

01:17:52.160 dead a wonderful person that is now

01:17:55.880 dead because of it and not only do these people

01:18:00.220 like peggy flanagan not realize the blood on their hands when when they look at things like

01:18:08.540 this situations like this there is blood on their hands sanctuary city sanctuary state

01:18:15.720 not only do they feel they're not responsible in any way for the deaths of people like lake

01:18:21.820 and riley they double down on wanting these illegal violent criminals to be allowed to

01:18:29.940 just roam around with impunity. But let's hear Peggy Flanagan's own words, shall we?

01:18:37.640 The very first vote in the second Trump administration that he brought forward was for the Lakin-Riley

01:18:44.480 Act. It was one of his biggest priorities. They're booing Lakin-Riley. A strict due process

01:18:50.820 away from immigrants, allowed for the indefinite detention of adults and children, and was

01:18:58.500 the green light to give ICE unprecedented power to totally terrorize our communities.

01:19:06.400 Unprecedented.

01:19:07.200 And I want to be clear that there is a straight line from the Lakin-Riley Act vote to what

01:19:15.560 we saw in the streets of our communities.

01:19:18.860 Oh, my God.

01:19:20.580 And both of our U.S. Senators, Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, led the way by voting against

01:19:28.500 against the Lake and Riley act representatives Betty McCollum Ilhan Omar and Kelly Morrison

01:19:39.000 they all voted no to yeah yeah good for them the booing of the Lake and Riley act the applause 0.90

01:19:51.680 For the politicians that voted against the Lake and Riley Act, a murdered young, productive young woman by a piece of garbage, illegal, violent felon who had already had a record, who was arrested and set back out, that's the only reason Lake and Riley is dead. 0.99

01:20:19.740 And this woman is using Lakin Reilly's name as something terrible, 0.89

01:20:31.740 as something that a law that is somehow unjust. 0.98

01:20:38.340 Drew a straight line from the Lakin Reilly Act to the unprecedented,

01:20:45.840 what we're seeing the ICE agents do.

01:20:49.740 The unprecedented violence and the...

01:20:52.860 What?

01:20:56.160 They are well within the right...

01:20:57.800 I got to say this again,

01:21:00.540 that ICE is well within the legal rights

01:21:03.500 to do what they're doing,

01:21:04.600 to deport, to gather up and deport illegals. 0.79

01:21:07.860 The president has said it. 1.00

01:21:10.040 The Supreme Court backs it. 1.00

01:21:13.060 And this woman,

01:21:14.600 and everyone in Minnesota,

01:21:18.140 tim walls all of them they just can't grasp that that blood is on their hands lakin riley's blood

01:21:30.780 is on their hands because of these sanctuary policies they care more about these illegals

01:21:39.700 than they do about innocent Americans. 0.62

01:21:45.020 They care more about illegal felons, violent illegals,

01:21:49.100 than they do about peaceful, contributing Americans in this country. 1.00

01:21:56.160 Disgusting. 1.00

01:21:57.780 Just disgusting. 1.00

01:22:00.660 Oh, my God. 0.78

01:22:03.860 All right, here we go.

01:22:05.900 Silas, is that your name in Staten Island?

01:22:08.080 uh silas silas wow what a voice listen this guy okay well the thing is i'm glad you played that 1.00

01:22:18.860 part with the blue haired woman there yeah it shows people these people are very stupid 1.00

01:22:25.280 and people don't want to admit it you know you can't call them names what am i going to call 1.00

01:22:30.140 them unintelligent they don't know their subject they take these jobs just to get money and to 0.96

01:22:36.400 fleece the public and as far as mandami he's not a stupid person and he doesn't have any shame 0.99

01:22:46.220 he's here to do a job yeah and they say oh he's young he doesn't know what he's doing no 0.88

01:22:53.300 him being young has nothing to do with it and 34 i could run this city when i was 24

01:23:00.340 the people who founded this country were in their 20s yeah the men who flew over and and and

01:23:06.380 and bombs up 36 hours of flying, those brave people who defend us.

01:23:12.040 Oh, geez.

01:23:14.620 They eliminated him, see?

01:23:17.360 They didn't like what he was saying.

01:23:20.020 I think he hit his off button on his phone.

01:23:24.580 Call back.

01:23:25.660 We'll get you back on there.

01:23:27.520 But he is right. 1.00

01:23:28.720 They are stupid people. 1.00

01:23:30.540 They just don't understand that there are smart people in this country who see what they're doing. 1.00

01:23:38.460 And Mamdani is clever.

01:23:40.980 You could see it from his campaign.

01:23:42.740 He knew exactly how to run for office in this city. 0.98

01:23:48.640 He knew exactly how to run for office because he knows that there's a lot of dummies. 0.96

01:23:57.940 There's a lot of dummies in the city that would vote for him if he talked about free stuff. 0.92

01:24:03.560 Zoran is two things also. 0.95

01:24:05.880 You've got to remember, he's a communist.

01:24:08.760 He's not a Democrat, socialist, socialist, Democrat.

01:24:12.900 He's a communist.

01:24:14.240 In his perfect world, the government would be a communist government. 0.98

01:24:21.640 He's also a Muslim. 0.97

01:24:23.080 and both of those have uh he feels a duty to uh progress policies of communism and islam

01:24:37.400 and uh he doesn't have any shame because he doesn't feel shame the people that feel shame

01:24:45.160 are the people that know they're doing something wrong zoran's even more dangerous because he

01:24:49.540 believes god tells him what to do his god tells him what to do and uh he believes communism is the

01:24:59.520 the only way uh people should be governed and he believes it why would why would you feel ashamed

01:25:07.000 of that if you absolutely uh honestly believe it uh and that's who he is that's the guy who he is

01:25:16.320 So he is a dangerous fellow.

01:25:18.480 He's charismatic.

01:25:20.260 The girls like him.

01:25:22.460 They like his smile.

01:25:25.060 And that's a dangerous combination.

01:25:29.480 Matt, Matt in Manhattan.

01:25:31.200 What's up, Matt?

01:25:32.800 Thanks for taking my call, Anthony.

01:25:35.140 I'll piggyback on what you were just talking about concerning a guy, a Republican by the name of Corey Miller.

01:25:43.220 and he married a woman but she well she was muslim and that's fine but when he was married

01:25:49.300 he was married by an imam by the name of hantun who happened to have ties to the muslim brotherhood

01:25:55.100 awesome picking up on the blue-haired woman that you began speaking about yeah um they never when

01:26:05.480 they're talking about climate change and pushing climate change they never talk about geoengineering

01:26:09.400 and the chemtrails, the aluminum streaks in the sky that come down and rain on us

01:26:13.420 and we breathe that in, they don't want to talk about that.

01:26:17.320 Yeah, I used to listen to a lot of people and go like,

01:26:21.420 oh, stop with the chemtrails and everything.

01:26:23.920 And I still, I don't go 100%.

01:26:27.640 Like, I honestly don't think an American Airlines 737 flying people to Cincinnati,

01:26:35.260 the pilot has this secret switch and all of a sudden chemicals start coming out.

01:26:41.860 I don't buy that.

01:26:43.060 What I do believe is what I've seen and heard and has been proven,

01:26:47.100 that there are organizations and government agencies that aren't even trying to hide the fact that they are geoengineering.

01:26:56.900 They are trying to put things in the atmosphere, chemicals and elements and whatnot,

01:27:00.920 that block out the sun for whatever ends they believe they need to come to.

01:27:09.680 But that I absolutely believe, and I've seen it, and it's been proven.

01:27:14.840 But I don't believe that every passenger plane, because there are some things called contrails.

01:27:22.200 I know everybody says, oh, contrails.

01:27:24.720 They are.

01:27:25.460 They're scientifically proven.

01:27:27.340 And sometimes that's what we're seeing.

01:27:29.480 I just don't buy the fact that every time you see a vapor, a vapor trail coming from a plane, that it's chemicals.

01:27:38.440 Do you?

01:27:40.800 When they're in solid streaks of white lines, yes.

01:27:45.100 When they're just, it's just humidity coming out, you can tell the difference.

01:27:49.560 Then I'm not.

01:27:50.760 But when they're streaks and they stay in streaks in the sky for about five minutes and they form into these odd clouds, yes.

01:27:59.040 Yeah. All right. Well, I happen to think certain atmospheric conditions will dictate winds aloft and stuff will break up those clouds quicker than if there's not it's not very windy up there.

01:28:11.940 Different temperatures. You could see a plane flying if they're flying through very cold air that that heat and moisture out of the engine is going to condense into a cloud.

01:28:23.440 if they're flying straight and then they hit another patch of air where the temperature is

01:28:27.680 different it might look like they have shut off whatever this right chem machine is but

01:28:33.300 it's just the the varying temperatures change the the the thickness of these clouds so again

01:28:41.440 i'm i'm there i'm with you guys i'm not 100 it's all bs i'm with you don't worry about it thank

01:28:50.120 you matt you know a lot of these conspiratorial theories that i've heard my entire life uh i used

01:29:01.620 to really really be against or or didn't believe uh every single one of them now i'm a lot more

01:29:11.880 open to it because who am I to say and I haven't seen the government being very sincere in telling

01:29:21.460 me the truth but that doesn't mean that every single one of them is true either I do like

01:29:30.200 doing research I like seeing if there is a genuine scientific reason for things happening

01:29:36.460 because I see a lot of people especially these I talk about them all the time the crazy flat

01:29:40.940 earthers and the the we never went to the moon people it's not so much that i believe the

01:29:48.200 government when they say we did go to the moon it's that the argument that a lot of the we never

01:29:54.440 went to the moon people make is made up of of stuff that's so easily uh debunked uh with science

01:30:06.780 real real science and uh you know that can't happen how does a how does a spacecraft come

01:30:13.640 back in the atmosphere at uh 75 000 miles an hour and it could stop within seven seconds

01:30:23.720 the people would be pulverized inside it's like yeah because that doesn't happen

01:30:28.000 because and then they go like no it does that's the nasa said if you're coming into the atmosphere

01:30:36.200 at a high rate of speed, it's going to take quite a few miles in that atmosphere

01:30:42.520 at the right angle, pointing the right way with the heat shield

01:30:46.920 to slow you down to a reasonable speed to come back into our atmosphere

01:30:53.180 and to slow down enough to deploy a parachute.

01:30:57.240 They don't just go from this incredible speed to 20 miles an hour

01:31:04.260 within a second doesn't happen so i've heard a lot of nonsense from conspiracy theorists

01:31:11.960 but there's other stuff that i'm definitely willing to uh delve into all right back in a

01:31:18.700 moment it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:31:24.100 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:31:30.880 the anthony cumia show and uh boy we're we're whisking around the united states

01:31:39.620 pointing out a few of these politicians that uh are just look out i'm gonna say it full of it

01:31:46.320 whoa anthony language you were a shock jock weren't you uh we go back to illinois but we

01:31:55.280 focusing on chicago uh brandon johnson of course the mayor of chicago this guy talk about bodies 0.96

01:32:07.020 piling up talk about nero fiddling while rome burns uh this guy will not do a damn thing

01:32:18.580 about the problem with crime in his city he talks he shows up at events uh he blames he's a very good

01:32:31.040 blame guy blames everything trump law enforcement ice uh uh uh slavery you could go just pick

01:32:41.920 anything and brandon johnson will blame it because he is blameless when young people in his city

01:32:50.860 are gunning each other down in record numbers it's got to be someone else's fault

01:32:57.840 and perish the thought he actually does something about it make some hard decisions

01:33:07.640 and some difficult choices in curtailing the criminal element

01:33:14.040 that is a daily occurrence in his city.

01:33:18.940 These teen takeovers that happen in the city,

01:33:22.560 the cop assassinations, the violence, teen-on-teen violence, if I may say.

01:33:32.680 Well, Brandon Johnson gets in front of a microphone

01:33:36.840 behind his podium and he uh talks about what he's doing because he is doing something it's not

01:33:45.520 working it will never work but he thinks he's uh doing something here's what he thinks need be done

01:33:53.440 to uh start curtailing the problem with uh crime and uh young people committing horrific violence

01:34:01.260 in the city of chicago brandon for the residents in hyde park who go outside and their cars have

01:34:07.420 been totaled and they're looking for accountability and they want to understand where is the leadership

01:34:11.820 in this situation when it comes to these young people what do you tell those residents the same

01:34:15.740 thing that i'm telling you now prior to hyde park there were six arrests and 24 citations the week

01:34:20.660 before did it stop them from going to hyde park it did not and so what i'm saying to those parents

01:34:25.500 I can do my job as mayor. I cannot parent your child. I can love them. I can invest in them.

01:34:31.520 We can hold them accountable. I don't expect you, Terrell, to parent my child if he acts up.

01:34:36.060 And trust me, sometimes he does. And sometimes I have to give him a longer hug.

01:34:40.640 And so what I'm simply saying is to the parents' families in Hyde Park, the parents in Austin, the parents downtown,

01:34:46.160 regardless of where you live, it's about making sure that our young people have opportunity.

01:34:49.960 I taught in our public schools.

01:34:51.780 I know the pressure of wayward children and parents who don't always have answers.

01:34:56.960 But it's going to take all of us.

01:34:58.480 If anyone believes that one mayor is solely responsible for everyone's child, that is not an expectation that I believe that anyone has.

01:35:05.880 I'm doing my part.

01:35:06.960 It's going to take all of us.

01:35:08.240 And, yes, we're going to hold people accountable.

01:35:10.500 And, yes, we're going to create opportunities.

01:35:12.200 And, yes, I'm calling on parents.

01:35:13.920 Yes, I'm calling on teens.

01:35:15.100 The leadership was in my executive order when we have 50 young people who are willing to take the leadership role to hold their peers accountable.

01:35:23.160 That's leadership.

01:35:24.060 55% increase in youth jobs.

01:35:26.760 That's leadership.

01:35:27.700 Making sure that young people can take charge of their communities.

01:35:30.760 That's leadership.

01:35:31.700 And it's going to take all of us to continue to make sure that our young people see their purpose and their future in our beloved city.

01:35:37.860 Oh, my God.

01:35:39.480 You have a police force.

01:35:41.160 Use it.

01:35:42.840 He's appealing to the parents?

01:35:45.100 The reason a lot of these kids are mental and violent and willing to go out in groups, that number in the hundreds, to commit violence is because they don't have parents or they don't have parents that are there and available to them and are disciplining them and instilling in them what's right and wrong.

01:36:12.380 that's why you can't appeal to something that isn't there and doesn't exist at some point

01:36:20.920 at some point the mayor has to step in and let law enforcement do what they need to do

01:36:29.440 consequence of actions if these kids are running around like maniacs

01:36:36.340 assaulting people shooting guns at people murdering people they need to be held accountable

01:36:44.420 you don't give them another hug an extra hug you don't appeal to the parents maybe at some point

01:36:53.660 a parent might go wow you need to knock that off if there is consequence if the parent has to drive

01:37:00.660 down and bail them out of jail maybe then the parent might step up and do something but as far 0.98

01:37:07.200 as the mayor doing something do your job allow the cops to get in there and bust that crap up

01:37:14.640 right you got me i certainly hope so all right back in a few it's the anthony cumia show on the

01:39:08.780 doesn't it?

01:39:09.920 Oh, yeah.

01:39:11.540 So many sports are just horrible to sit and watch.

01:39:16.620 The second you have something on it, now you're talking.

01:39:21.400 so if you're a basketball fan i guess you can uh bet on that i am not and i'm not really a big

01:39:28.600 sports guy but that doesn't mean i can't use fando predicts you know what the prediction

01:39:33.980 market is this is huge you can bet on pretty much anything anything what's going on in the world

01:39:42.220 will the straits of hormuz open you know stuff like that now you're talking now just like sports

01:39:50.560 you know sports might not be interesting to you maybe life isn't interesting to you

01:39:56.940 but if you could bet on it now you're talking oh i don't like politics uh well maybe you could bet

01:40:06.100 on it who's going to win an election who's the next uh um politician to get thrown out of office

01:40:12.800 these are all things on prediction markets you could look up and down uh uh bets people are

01:40:19.380 making get kind of a line on what people are thinking so you don't just have to jump into it

01:40:24.980 blind it makes everything a little more interesting i've sat there at a bar nursing a beer watching a

01:40:33.260 ball game up on the screen it's just background noise but when you have a little something on it

01:40:39.340 it makes it a lot more interesting doesn't it yeah it's not just sports fando predicts you get in on

01:40:46.100 everything and uh that's the part people miss not just sports you predict the spread uh if you if

01:40:53.420 you like sports though you predict the spread the total points the game-winning moments

01:42:04.600 thing pops up maybe there's a setting where it won't pop up as much let's go to you might remember

01:42:11.320 this guy john carrey john carrey democrat vietnam war veteran he used to use that a lot to uh give

01:42:21.740 him some clout well john carrey uh is uh he doesn't like something a little something called

01:42:29.800 the first amendment what i know says the first amendment is a bit of a bump in the road

01:42:38.580 what like a speed bump a little bump a little uh barrier to the final goal of people like john

01:42:49.660 Kerry which is censorship but they don't call it that because uh they lie first of all it is

01:42:59.540 censorship that Democrats liberals want you see it all the time college campuses you see it when

01:43:06.120 they're protesting it's a big thing they shut down anyone that shows up that isn't with their cause

01:43:13.140 tell them to leave you can't be here leave we don't want you here and they put their hand in

01:43:18.720 front of the camera they try to steal the microphone that is censorship they don't think

01:43:25.960 so because they think they're on the right side the correct side if I may and John Kerry is saying

01:43:32.860 the same thing in this clip you're going to hear because he thinks there's misinformation out there

01:43:38.660 and disinformation out there blatant lies people are being influenced by other people on social

01:43:47.020 media and they're being influenced in ideology that isn't john carrey's so it must be wrong

01:43:55.280 and it needs to be stopped that's what always gets me about these people they can't see that

01:44:02.540 they their opinion is just that just another opinion they could think it is the the most

01:44:10.400 righteous opinion ever but other people that disagree with it and want to voice that opinion

01:44:17.000 they would rather have them silenced they do it all the time so here's john carrey talking about

01:44:25.580 uh the first amendment being a little bit of a little bit of an obstacle in their goal

01:44:31.240 and i think the the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and

01:44:40.340 growing uh and it's part of our problem particularly in democracies uh in terms of

01:44:47.040 building consensus around any issue it's really hard to govern today you can't you know you know

01:44:53.860 there's no the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact

01:44:58.600 that kind of you know been eviscerated to a certain degree and um people go and that people

01:45:04.980 self-select where they go for their news or for their information and then you just get into a

01:45:10.880 vicious cycle so it's really really hard much harder to build consensus today than at any time

01:45:16.600 in the 45 50 years i've been involved in this and and i you know there's a lot of discussion now

01:45:23.360 about how you curb those entities uh in order to guarantee that you're going to have you know some

01:45:30.760 accountability on facts etc but look if people go to only one source and the source they go to is

01:45:37.120 sick and uh you know has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation uh our first amendment

01:45:45.340 stands as a major block to the ability to be able to you know hammer it out of existence so

01:45:51.420 what you need what we need is to is to win the ground win the right to govern by hopefully

01:45:59.400 winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.

01:46:07.280 Now, obviously, there are some people in our country

01:46:09.340 who are prepared to implement change in other ways.

01:46:12.900 So you're questioning, really, if democracy can survive unregulated social media?

01:46:18.820 I think democracies are very challenged right now

01:46:22.700 and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough 0.73

01:46:27.760 to deal with the challenges that we are facing and to me that is part of what this race this 0.68

01:46:34.100 this election is all about will we break the fever in the united states unbelievable oh my god

01:46:42.200 the first amendment is a major block in in in in governing this is what he's saying

01:46:54.080 they need to win the right to govern so you can make these changes what changes

01:47:01.320 he said it he said it curbing the entities that's what he says he wants to curb the entities out

01:47:11.700 there uh because why those entities don't agree with you how about the fact that when he brings

01:47:19.980 up one source what is the one source there are thousands of sources out there you know when we

01:47:27.700 had one source when all the people had was mainstream media with a single agenda a left-wing

01:47:35.320 agenda they don't like that people can go elsewhere and see other ideas other opinions

01:47:43.420 voice their own opinions we're self-selecting oh what a crime these are all the words he used

01:47:52.820 in that statement in that little speech there people tend to self-select yeah yeah i don't

01:48:01.660 agree with that so let me see if there's other people with an opinion like i have i'll select

01:48:09.900 a news source that I have seen and experienced that seems to be honest

01:48:16.480 and not agenda-driven as much.

01:48:22.380 He needs, he used the word, they need to have a referee.

01:48:29.420 Who could that be?

01:48:32.640 Who would be the person that gets to decide what is disinformation or misinformation?

01:48:39.900 Because I'll tell you, during COVID, there was a lot of legitimate information

01:48:45.100 that was labeled disinformation and misinformation.

01:48:49.000 People lost their accounts.

01:48:51.460 They got canceled.

01:48:54.440 And they weren't allowed to voice anything that was against the company line on COVID.

01:49:03.020 And we found out that a lot of that information that was called disinformation or misinformation was indeed true and right.

01:49:14.420 So who would be this amazing, wonderful, knowledgeable person or entity that could decide what is true and what is false without being agenda driven?

01:49:30.120 All the little catchphrases and words he used there, and then just saying the First Amendment is a major block, a major block in doing what he wants to be done, which is curbing the entities out there.

01:49:53.100 and by entities he means people other alternative news info wars we just watched info wars go down

01:50:03.440 the toilet whether you liked Alex Jones or not whether you agreed with him in what he said or

01:50:09.180 not whether you loved him or hated him he was a guy with an opinion on social media

01:50:17.460 And they certainly got rid of him.

01:50:21.200 They certainly did.

01:50:23.360 Dissolved his entire kingdom that he had built over the course of years and years and years.

01:50:32.800 There you go.

01:50:33.960 That's John Kerry.

01:50:36.240 Oh, boy.

01:50:37.020 Back in a moment.

01:50:38.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:50:44.560 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:50:47.460 on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show on a beautiful sunday evening i hope

01:50:56.580 you had a great weekend weekend's so important aren't they and so quick they they're over so

01:51:04.180 quickly quickly uh let us go to gary gary southern jersey what's up gary hey anthony very nice show

01:51:14.820 Thank you, sir.

01:51:16.600 Yeah, I talked to you once before, and my kid showed me how to watch it on the computer.

01:51:22.360 I watch all your videos.

01:51:23.940 I love it.

01:51:24.500 My kid showed me how to watch it on the computer.

01:51:27.400 Well, you know, but I'm a Vietnam veteran.

01:51:32.780 I retired.

01:51:33.460 Thank you for your service, my friend, especially back then when a bunch of commies in this country were giving you guys a lot of guff.

01:51:42.320 Well, hey, that's, you know, I wasn't here when they were doing all the protesting.

01:51:47.880 Yeah.

01:51:48.160 But, you know, who the hell knows? 0.54

01:51:50.220 Who the hell knows?

01:51:50.780 But anyway, I spent 25 years on the job.

01:51:54.200 I've been retired now, 25 years.

01:51:56.920 So I'm not really, I'm not a spring chicken.

01:52:00.260 But what I had said to you, what I had said to you, the screener, I never saw in my whole life.

01:52:07.220 When I was a kid, there were Democrats and Republicans, and they had their differences, but you never saw politicians that were elected to office that hate this country and don't care about America.

01:52:24.360 Yeah.

01:52:24.540 And I think a lot of that had to do, in my day when I was a kid, all of your, you know, politicians, most of them were World War II veterans.

01:52:37.060 Whether they were a Democrat or Republican, and they had a feeling for the country.

01:52:42.540 Yeah, they were invested.

01:52:44.140 They were invested in the country.

01:52:46.020 They made sacrifices, and they got into politics because of that.

01:52:51.600 They wanted to better the country, make the country better.

01:52:55.480 That is gone, man.

01:52:57.060 You do not see that anymore.

01:52:59.200 And I look at these people like Yelan Omar, whatever the hell her name is.

01:53:03.880 Yelan Omar, yeah. 0.92

01:53:05.420 Yeah, the one who married her brother in Minnesota or whatever the hell she is.

01:53:10.700 You see these people in the not-too-distant past.

01:53:15.940 They would have been arrested for sedition and be at the Crossbar Hotel.

01:53:21.340 They didn't let him.

01:53:22.760 And, you know, I just read, I was reading something about Joe McCarthy,

01:53:28.860 who wasn't the ritual.

01:53:30.460 No one's saying he wasn't. 0.80

01:53:32.940 But the guy was right.

01:53:35.100 Look what happened.

01:53:36.680 Yeah, at the time it seemed a little intense what he was doing, 0.98

01:53:40.920 the blacklists that would come out and, you know, everyone better dead than red. 0.81

01:53:46.720 but in hindsight seeing where things went you almost wish it would have been nipped in the bud

01:53:55.460 back then yeah and you look what's going on in these big cities the only thing that you know

01:54:02.800 when i see all these kids doing this crazy stuff on campus what i do feel good about is when i see

01:54:11.820 my kid graduated from liberty university after he did two years in iraq and you see a lot of kids

01:54:19.300 that you know young people that are doing something yeah yeah it gives you some hope

01:54:25.740 but i'll be honest with you i never thought i'd say this in my whole life i don't know if the

01:54:32.200 problems we have in this country can be corrected in the voting booth man i i've been thinking that

01:54:38.900 i've talked to a lot of people gary that feel the same way it seems like we've crossed over

01:54:44.940 into a place where we're past the point of no return with with the way we usually or used to

01:54:52.900 solve our issues as americans and that's not happening and you know i you know there's a king

01:54:59.580 trump this and that quite frankly if he ever and i'm going to declare martial law and we're going

01:55:08.260 and get this place back in order, I really don't think it would bother me.

01:55:12.540 I never thought like that, but I've never seen things in 74 years so screwed up.

01:55:22.780 Yep. 0.56

01:55:23.380 I hear you.

01:55:24.300 I just want to tell you something.

01:55:25.800 I want you to watch one movie which mirrors what is happening today.

01:55:32.220 It's an old movie from the 30s starring Walter Houston.

01:55:35.780 It's called Gabriel over the White House.

01:55:39.440 And if you watch that, you will see that the problems they're dealing with them,

01:55:45.660 and it's a kind of fantasy movie, is not too different than what's happening today.

01:55:53.640 Yeah, some history is pretty spot on as far as what's going on these days.

01:56:00.140 Gary, thanks so much, man.

01:56:01.760 I appreciate it.

01:56:02.480 It's always good to talk to you, and I love your show on TV.

01:56:06.240 Thank you, my friend.

01:56:07.700 Take it easy, Gary.

01:56:09.160 There goes Gary.

01:56:10.660 There it is, on the TV and on the computer.

01:56:13.800 That guy's seen a lot.

01:56:15.620 He's been an American.

01:56:17.520 He's invested.

01:56:18.580 He went to war.

01:56:20.180 He was a cop.

01:56:22.640 You can't discount what the guy's been through and what he has seen.

01:56:27.560 he's seen the good and the bad of america and and seen how we worked it out politically socially

01:56:37.940 and even he is thinking huh we might not be in a position where we can work this out like we used

01:56:47.040 to with votes or or discussion or or what have you um and that that's alarming because like i

01:56:56.980 said that guy's been around and and he's not just been locked in his room the whole time out and

01:57:03.080 about lived life living life and he's saying oh boy oh boy maybe maybe we're in a bit of dutch here

01:57:13.600 oh boy well my sunday night wouldn't be complete without the intoxicating voice

01:57:22.360 of susan from corning new york susan how are you dear great i'm moving to the commonwealth of

01:57:31.300 pennsylvania yeah this is how old called the people's republic of new york uh but i wanted

01:57:38.080 to say you started out saying how so many uh the um exodus from new york city and there's like a

01:57:45.580 little thing i came across through my uh research and digging that uh so all the people with their

01:57:54.180 kids and also the uh atrocious uh education system there now for the last like 20 years

01:58:03.140 it's been between one and 1.2 million children in public schools new york city it is now down to

01:58:10.940 800,000 but guess what it used to be 10 billion dollar budget for 1.2 million now it's 42 billion

01:58:22.920 for 800,000 that's 42,000 a year and guess what about uh 30 percent of them are totally illiterate

01:58:34.660 oh yeah yeah they can't do the simplest of math and their reading and writing skills are

01:58:42.680 um it's terrible and the more money they pump in the lower these scores go it has nothing to do

01:58:48.640 with the money it has to do with the teachers and has to do with the students not wanting to learn

01:58:56.260 and not allowing the other kids in the room that want to learn uh to to do what they need to do

01:59:03.020 no discipline it's a disaster it's a human crisis um but then okay let's just fast forward

01:59:11.860 to them donnie and his a solution which is to take 40 babies from six weeks old to four years

01:59:21.640 Well, 40, 4-0, okay, he's getting this, he's renovating some, you know,

01:59:31.220 dilapidated building down by City Hall for millions of dollars.

01:59:35.600 The nutshell is it's going to cost for 40 city workers.

01:59:42.900 Yeah, yeah.

01:59:43.640 Well, Susan, putting a six-week-old into that kind of child care, if they're working, they have...

01:59:53.280 Susan, you know why this is, Susan?

01:59:55.280 Susan, you know why this is?

01:59:56.900 So he can say, I kept my campaign promise.

02:00:03.040 I have daycare, child daycare set up.

02:00:06.680 He doesn't say how many.

02:00:08.500 It's like the free buses.

02:00:09.800 They proposed $15 million for one free bus line in every borough.

02:00:17.480 That's five bus lines that he says.

02:00:21.320 And then the grocery stores, one grocery store in one borough until 2029,

02:00:27.280 where he hopes to have one in all five boroughs.

02:00:30.320 This is what he does.

02:00:31.720 He does just enough to say, hey, look, I kept my promise.

02:00:34.840 It costs millions upon millions of dollars, and nothing really gets done.

02:00:39.100 Susan, I gotta let you go. I'm coming up on a break, but thank you for the call.

02:00:46.600 And yeah, a lot of politicians do this. It's called lying. Thank you.

02:00:51.200 Back in a moment. Don't you go anywhere.

02:00:54.800 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:01:00.900 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:01:05.820 The Anthony Cumia Show. And let's let's turn the wheel and head back toward Minnesota, Minnesota, where Governor Pritzker will hear a little bit about from Governor Pritzker about the minimum wage.

02:01:25.480 First of all, he's lying about it. He lies about the amount of minimum wage. I believe it's up to fifteen dollars an hour nationally.

02:01:35.240 He's talking about waiters and waitresses and tips. People that get tips make seven fifty seven eighty, whatever it is, an hour.

02:01:45.960 but they get tips and uh by the way pritzker's against no tax on tips donald trump's platform

02:01:56.040 he ran on that so when he talks about people not being able to afford things on their hourly wage

02:02:03.500 unless they boost minimum wage why isn't he all for not taxing the tips that um workers that that

02:02:15.460 get tips why is he against that when they only make seven dollars and change an hour

02:02:20.720 because they work in a tip industry so pritzker talks about minimum wage and how

02:02:27.000 uh it's just you can't afford to live i cannot afford to live on minimum wage we'll hear his

02:02:35.400 comments and then we'll talk about it won't we here's uh governor pritzker let's uh raise the

02:02:43.260 minimum wage you want to make life more affordable for people how about you raise wages for people

02:02:47.760 that don't just mean the minimum wage but let's start there seven dollars and twenty five cents

02:02:52.160 an hour you can't survive on one full-time job fourteen thousand dollars a year no one can

02:02:58.340 survive on just that even two of those full-time jobs twenty eight thousand dollars you can't raise

02:03:03.040 a family on that you can barely survive on your own so let's start with raising the minimum wage

02:03:07.600 But let's also look at universal health care. 0.99

02:03:11.300 That's what Democrats ought to be fighting for.

02:03:13.680 It's what we've always believed in, but move too slowly.

02:03:16.420 And that's why I think that we need an agenda that we're going to pass in a Democratic Congress in 2027 and 2028.

02:03:25.540 If we lose the House and the Senate in the election, this is the kind of stuff you're going to see.

02:03:35.700 now trump's veto can only do so much especially if they get a larger majority

02:03:40.820 you you got to go out and we talk about how voting you know we're very disillusioned with

02:03:48.020 our electoral system here in this country but you still got to do it you still have to go out there

02:03:54.260 and and vote it's all we have right now until we can come up with something better to change

02:04:00.400 people's minds and um and get this country back on track because for how bad it is it can get a

02:04:09.700 lot worse you get uh democrats with a large majority house and senate it's just over johnny

02:04:19.660 with things like this they'll talk about it minimum wage pritzker talks about uh making it

02:04:27.480 more affordable by raising the minimum wage.

02:04:31.060 This is, again, a simple economics scenario.

02:04:38.200 You pay people more and they can afford more.

02:04:43.340 It's so juvenile.

02:04:45.620 It's a childlike take on economics.

02:04:51.160 You're putting the burden on the employer.

02:04:53.720 That's first of all, to come up with the money to pay people for jobs that just aren't worth that much an hour.

02:05:05.800 And if you give people more money, the cost of everything goes up.

02:05:11.440 It becomes just as unaffordable only now you're shelling out more money.

02:05:18.180 You made more money.

02:05:19.060 Now you shell out more of that money to pay for things that cost more of that money.

02:05:26.960 It's elementary, before elementary economics.

02:05:33.100 But again, I don't think Pritzker doesn't know this.

02:05:37.680 I think he's got some knowledge as far as economics goes to understand that raising people's minimum wage will not help. 0.99

02:05:49.060 but he knows that the his his constituents his voters are stupid enough to not know that 0.99

02:05:56.560 and that's all it takes really you don't have to be dumb the people that support you 1.00

02:06:03.140 need to be dumb and uh that's what i think is in play here the other thing is he talks about 0.99

02:06:11.960 raising a family on minimum wage you can't raise a family who who ever said a minimum wage job 0.98

02:06:23.180 is a job for raising a family this is an entry-level position fast food restaurants

02:06:33.260 a laborer or or or on a job site these are all jobs that are you're entering the workforce

02:06:44.720 you're going from babysitter and paper boy and you're stepping up to an actual job but

02:06:53.660 it certainly isn't where you are going to be when you want to raise a family

02:06:59.160 If I may bring me into the discussion, I had minimum wage jobs in high school and after high school.

02:07:14.020 They were great.

02:07:16.140 They gave me money for cigarettes, beer, an occasional ham and Swiss on hero with a little bit of mustard from the deli.

02:07:26.880 little bit of gas for the 69 nova and that was it you hung out with your friends

02:07:35.860 you hoped you'd get a date and then you had to step up maybe for some wine something a little

02:07:43.780 better than that uh pony pack of budweiser that's what your minimum wage job was for

02:07:51.440 And it would be gone by the time you got into class in high school on Monday.

02:08:00.620 But you had a great time because you still lived at home.

02:08:07.360 Your mom made dinner.

02:08:10.100 You had a rent-free bed to sleep in.

02:08:14.600 And that was no expenses, really.

02:08:18.360 that's what a minimum wage job is if you start thinking you can raise a family on that and that

02:08:28.720 it's now on the employer to pay somebody an outrageously high salary for a ridiculously

02:08:37.100 unskilled entry-level job whose problem is that

02:08:44.480 you're supposed to learn from an entry-level job you learn things like responsibility it takes some

02:08:55.880 people a little longer to learn i'm still trying but those are that's how you learn about working

02:09:03.080 for somebody you have a boss you have things you're supposed to do and get them done in a

02:09:10.540 timely fashion and then you get paid for it you need to show up on time all of these things are

02:09:17.900 a teaching mechanism for your next job which hopefully pays more money has a little more

02:09:27.460 responsibility a little more prestige whatever it is and eventually you reach a point where you

02:09:36.980 can move out of your your parents house i can now pay rent i can make a car payment or just buy

02:09:45.520 uh an old clunker i could afford insurance and gas money but i have to go to work every day

02:09:53.080 And I work for the amount of money, hopefully, it's the amount of money I'm worth.

02:10:03.080 And years go by and you decide maybe you want to get married and raise a family.

02:10:11.680 Well, you have better built up that resume and skills

02:10:16.980 and gotten yourself to a job where you can afford to do those things. 1.00

02:10:23.080 these these politicians have it in their head that they're telling these morons and these morons 0.99

02:10:32.100 believe it that they need a raise in minimum wage an entry-level position job entry-level job 1.00

02:10:41.280 for minimum wage should be enough to raise a family that's insane

02:10:46.980 but they they just they keep telling him and they believe it they want to believe it

02:10:54.140 what are we gonna do what in the hell are we gonna do john from arizona what's up john

02:11:03.820 what's going on anthony how are you doing today pretty good thank you for asking

02:11:09.600 so i was just going to come piggyback on what you were talking about women in the workplace

02:11:14.500 whatnot oh yeah and i just wanted to hear your opinion i know your opinion on cops female cops

02:11:21.100 going on patrol or whatnot yeah but what are your opinions on women being combat arms yeah i don't

02:11:29.300 think women should be in combat either i mean and we've seen some examples and they will point out

02:11:34.500 the exception to the rule the amazing women that make amazing soldiers and the the vast majority 0.99

02:11:42.680 aren't physically able to do the job that needs to be done. 1.00

02:11:47.460 If you want to give them military occupations

02:11:53.040 to free up the men that are physically capable of fighting and combat,

02:11:59.680 then so be it. 1.00

02:12:01.280 But I watch enough videos of women trying to pull a bolt back on a machine gun, 1.00

02:12:09.740 and they're physically incapable of doing it. 1.00

02:12:12.680 That gets people killed, as we see in female police officers, incapable of doing the job that needs to be done. 0.96

02:12:22.680 They are powerless until a man shows up to do the job for them, and that is an unbelievable danger to everyone, even the perpetrator. 0.99

02:12:35.020 so the starship trooper movie is a horror show that is soon to come on to our society

02:12:43.200 where they want a genderless uh society where men and women can be in showers together and

02:12:49.280 yeah yeah they're showering mouthing off uh roasting each other about their manhood and

02:12:56.200 then they just all get dressed and they're all equally as good at doing everything what a what

02:13:01.000 a farce what a fantasy of the left it's a left-wing fantasy and uh i saw last night i was

02:13:11.400 watching the last mission impossible movie that came out uh what is it called um oh god i can't

02:13:19.900 remember the name of it uh it's the like the final one that came out and um i'm watching a a woman a

02:13:28.180 black woman president and i had spoken about this too when they filmed these movies there's a few

02:13:35.980 of them out right now they thought kamala harris was going to be the president so they made all 0.92

02:13:42.240 these movies with a strong black woman president or black women uh leading uh military men 1.00

02:13:53.140 fighting men because they thought camilla was going to be president and that was going to be 1.00

02:13:58.920 the theme the strong black woman and she lost an insane uh uh campaign she didn't get one swing 0.98

02:14:09.140 state she lost the popular vote and electoral college and now those movies look ridiculous 0.97

02:14:15.180 and they're so unrealistic this wafy girl is now fighting uh russian mob guys 0.99

02:14:23.480 you know i'm gonna take on the russian mafia and this little waif of a woman is kicking and 0.84

02:14:30.000 spinning back fist and these russian mob guys can't handle her it's a fantasy it's a liberal

02:14:37.440 fantasy and they're all written by liberal women the same movie so what uh what causes people to 0.64

02:14:43.980 least something like this what's the it's the brainwashing the the college campus indoctrinations

02:14:50.480 all of the nonsense of women can do everything men can do all the news hollywood it's all part

02:14:58.000 of it in the same movie last night uh what's his name tom cruise had to go on an aircraft carrier

02:15:05.460 And he got on the aircraft carrier, George H.W. Bush.

02:15:10.100 And it was a blonde woman with a ponytail. 0.53

02:15:15.080 She was the commander of the aircraft carrier. 0.60

02:15:18.440 Like, how does this?

02:15:19.920 He was on an Osprey flying to a destination. 0.99

02:15:24.200 The pilot and co-pilot on this treacherous mission were both women. 0.94

02:15:29.260 And it's all because it's written by these either beta guys or these liberal women. 0.84

02:15:39.020 And they have this fantasy that that's what should be happening in this world.

02:15:45.000 And the reality is just a stark difference, John.

02:15:51.780 Thank you, my friend.

02:15:53.500 the movies it's just i watched the trailer a lot of times before i watched the movie and

02:16:00.260 i'll just not watch the movie i had to see mission impossible because i've seen all of them

02:16:05.100 this was the worst one yet this was just a terrible mission impossible and uh you know

02:16:12.440 again the tv shows you see what did they make a um they made like a movie with

02:16:19.080 a big obese woman as a hero she's a cop it wasn't the punisher was it maybe it is queen latifah 1.00

02:16:32.100 they had queen latifah this middle-aged equalizer yeah that was it the equalizer she's like a 1.00

02:16:40.880 middle-aged fat woman and she's kicking guys asses and you're like could just stop i i'm willing to 1.00

02:16:50.880 suspend disbelief for certain situations in movies sci-fi you know but it's every movie 0.99

02:16:59.720 the strong woman who just subjugates the the what would be strong men and she knows all the answers 0.98

02:17:09.460 And she's the tough, wise one.

02:17:11.700 And, oh, knock it off. 1.00

02:17:14.140 These female cops can't even take down your basic scale in New York City 1.00

02:17:19.760 until the guys show up, until the real cops show up. 1.00

02:17:23.920 Just outrageous how that works.

02:17:28.320 I don't know how we got on that, but, yeah, I was talking about Pritzker

02:17:30.800 and his minimum wage.

02:17:32.740 You cannot stay at a minimum wage job. 0.99

02:17:38.280 Kids are supposed to have those jobs. 0.67

02:17:41.260 Not raising families.

02:17:42.940 You're part of the family.

02:17:44.340 You're a little kid in a family that has his first job,

02:17:48.320 and he's making money so he can hang out with his friends.

02:17:52.700 He's the family.

02:17:55.940 Hopefully, he's got a mother and a father.

02:17:59.440 The father has a real job.

02:18:01.720 He is not working for minimum wage.

02:18:04.220 He is raising a family, and that kid is part of the family.

02:18:07.540 He doesn't need to buy diapers and baby formula and and all the things that a dad would have to buy.

02:18:19.520 The idea of a even a fifteen dollar minimum wage, which it's at, which, by the way, when they were talking about going up to fifteen dollars an hour for minimum wage, people thought that was insane.

02:18:33.900 Now, again, it's not enough.

02:18:36.200 It's just like when they talk about wealthy people's taxes.

02:18:40.560 They have to pay their fair share.

02:18:42.720 And it's always different.

02:18:44.560 It always goes up.

02:18:46.320 Even when they raise the taxes, for some reason, really quickly, it's not fair anymore.

02:18:51.720 You need to pay more.

02:18:53.100 Same thing with the minimum wage.

02:18:56.000 Oh, minimum wage is this now.

02:18:58.020 Well, now we've got to raise it again.

02:18:59.540 Why?

02:19:00.120 Well, the cost of living went up.

02:19:01.420 Yeah, sorry.

02:19:04.900 Sorry.

02:19:05.700 It's an entry level job.

02:19:08.240 They just. 1.00

02:19:10.440 They get idiots that vote for them and everything they tell them is that we will give you more. 1.00

02:19:17.340 We'll give you free stuff. 1.00

02:19:19.160 We'll give you more money.

02:19:21.560 We'll give you free health care.

02:19:25.020 And it's all lies.

02:19:27.500 It's all just lies. 1.00

02:19:30.420 But these dummies eat it up. 1.00

02:19:33.380 And the country pays. 0.99

02:19:35.700 The rest of us pay the price.

02:19:38.100 That's why they're going to kiosks.

02:19:40.560 That's why at Wendy's you won't be able to eat inside Wendy's anymore.

02:19:44.840 You'll order like a drive-thru.

02:19:46.420 They'll throw your food at you through a window, and you sit outside.

02:19:50.940 Because they don't want to pay $20 an hour for some scrub to seat you and sweep up and take your order.

02:20:03.900 Everything will be automated.

02:20:05.700 that's who's really going to pay the price for AI are these people that think

02:20:10.620 they're worth $25 an hour for a minimum wage job.

02:20:13.880 All right.

02:20:14.740 Don't go anywhere.

02:20:15.740 We'll continue.

02:20:16.980 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the red apple podcast network.

02:20:23.280 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the red apple podcast network.

02:20:29.660 It's the Anthony Cumia show.

02:20:31.500 Let's go right down there to Texas.

02:20:33.920 Talk to Freddie.

02:20:34.740 Hey, Freddie, what is up, my Texas friend?

02:20:39.100 Hey, Anthony, very disappointing you.

02:20:40.960 My daughter is a Navy pilot, and she's seen more combat and missions in the last two years

02:20:47.200 than most sons of Army guys that are in journalism or cooking or fleet maintenance or whatever they do.

02:20:56.880 And I'm just very disappointed you're a John Castameteus apologist and Sid Rosenberg apologist.

02:21:03.300 I'm very disappointed in you.

02:21:04.940 Huge fan from back in the day.

02:21:07.200 So you just lost your way, brother.

02:21:09.560 I don't think so.

02:21:11.140 I was going to kind of agree with the fighter pilots because it's not like being on the ground, being a grunt,

02:21:20.080 having to be around all the men in combat face-to-face.

02:21:25.540 You're flying a machine.

02:21:27.180 I think if you have a sound mind, and it does take some physical acuity, that's for sure, 0.99

02:21:32.680 I think that's one of the military jobs where a woman probably can be an equal to a man. 0.99

02:21:41.060 But your other stuff you're saying is ridiculous. 0.99

02:21:44.820 An apologist. 0.98

02:21:46.440 Why am I an apologist? 0.68

02:21:50.960 Unless you're on public airwaves or Internet show, unless you're bashing Jews, I guess you're an apologist.

02:22:02.680 that seems to be what a lot of people think i i i take people as they come and i take communities

02:22:10.160 as i see certain communities that have issues and problems and i talk about that but uh you know

02:22:16.580 everyone's got to be an apologist everyone's this it's all one problem open your eyes open your eyes

02:22:24.300 jerky all right how about um a school is exposed uh for their lack of teaching their kids there's uh

02:22:35.880 a kid who went around with a camera his phone and he started asking these students from the school

02:22:45.120 high school to uh read read something off a card a little saying it had some tricky words

02:22:52.800 in there but nothing a high school senior shouldn't be able to read and when they couldn't

02:23:02.180 read some of these uh terms he put it online and now they're saying they're talking about

02:23:09.440 expelling him from the school for exposing that the school is not teaching their kids to read

02:23:15.820 and he's the one they're going to penalize for exposing this.

02:23:21.160 Play some of this video, AC7,

02:23:24.140 and listen to these students trying to sound out words

02:23:29.900 like they are in second grade.

02:23:34.040 She wore a suit, clothes that were...

02:23:42.140 Who's this for? 0.57

02:23:44.320 Extraordinary, but somewhat Gurcher?

02:23:51.480 No, explain what that means.

02:23:52.840 Gauche.

02:23:53.260 I don't know.

02:23:54.400 She wore a Sahalat of clothes that were extra during me, whatever, bro. 0.97

02:24:01.320 But somewhat Gooch.

02:24:03.380 What does that mean?

02:24:04.420 She wore a lot. 0.95

02:24:05.480 Wait, she wore.

02:24:07.080 Bro, I don't know, bro.

02:24:08.440 Can you take the card back, please?

02:24:09.860 She wore a.

02:24:12.100 Oh, baby. 0.99

02:24:13.040 She wore a silhouette of clothes that were. 1.00

02:24:19.500 Bitch, I don't know that word. 1.00

02:24:20.860 I don't even know how to read. 1.00

02:24:21.940 I don't know why.

02:24:22.660 She wore a silhouette of clothes that were extraordinary, but somewhat gosh.

02:24:30.720 All right, now what does that mean?

02:24:32.240 I have no idea.

02:24:33.540 Like it's cool.

02:24:34.420 It's racism. 0.58

02:24:36.180 She wore a... 1.00

02:24:37.860 I don't know what this shit's saying. 1.00

02:24:39.100 I don't know what this shit's saying. 1.00

02:24:40.700 I don't know what this shit's saying. 1.00

02:24:41.760 Oops. 0.99

02:24:43.040 i can't read it i read it that's good enough um yeah that that is

02:24:50.120 that is uh a school that these are seniors they cannot read and then he's also showing that

02:25:01.980 there's no comprehension what does that mean i don't know no reading no ability to read

02:25:09.640 no ability to comprehend with your reading and and reading and writing scores are higher

02:25:17.940 than math scores they're even worse at math in a lot of these schools and the school saw this

02:25:27.900 had a little meeting and instead of saying oh my god this looks terrible for us what are we doing

02:25:36.340 wrong how are we not giving these kids the education we're supposed to be giving them

02:25:44.660 what could we possibly do we need to have everyone come in all the teachers and administrators

02:25:53.080 and and talk about what we're doing wrong nope that ain't what they did they said oh my god

02:26:04.060 who put this video together

02:26:05.900 they need to be expelled

02:26:07.800 they need to be thrown out

02:26:10.240 of our school 0.78

02:26:11.440 that's the problem

02:26:13.880 with schools

02:26:15.320 that's the problem

02:26:16.980 they know they're not doing their job

02:26:19.480 they know they're not

02:26:21.440 teaching these kids

02:26:23.100 they do not care

02:26:24.940 and don't call them out on it
