00:01:01.820 on the Red Apple Podcast

00:01:04.200 Network.

00:01:05.900 It is the Anthony Cumia

00:01:08.060 Show. Thank you so much

00:01:10.200 for tuning in. Memorial Day

00:01:11.980 weekend. Very nice.

00:01:14.420 Very nice. I hope you're

00:01:16.200 enjoying yourselves.

00:01:18.880 You know, it's a little tough.

00:01:20.760 I was

00:01:21.240 doing a little quick break for the New York

00:01:23.980 people about a minute ago

00:01:25.780 and for the rest of the

00:01:27.940 country I was

00:01:29.260 talking about yeah the weather is a little crappy

00:01:31.840 on the east coast of

00:01:33.160 the United States but

00:01:35.480 you make your own fun

00:01:37.800 people make your own fun

00:01:39.920 you don't need sunny skies

00:01:41.980 a little rain

00:01:44.120 may fall

00:01:45.000 doesn't have to ruin things

00:01:47.360 go out under

00:01:49.720 under a cabana maybe or an awning out on the streets raise a glass of wine toast the uh brave

00:01:59.840 men and women who gave their lives for this country and memorialize them as you uh celebrate

00:02:08.560 don't get too tipsy don't get don't go crazy people out there uh getting pretty obnoxious

00:02:18.740 and then driving you never want to do that i don't know why anyone would even do that in 2026

00:02:25.280 there are so many alternatives to uh getting a buzz on and and hopping in a vehicle

00:02:33.020 and driving it you know obviously you're getting a uber or a lyft or something like that um

00:02:40.320 got a tesla one of those tesla taxis that now they don't even have steering wheels

00:02:48.500 which i think you could buy one and then drive have it drive you to the bar you could you know

00:02:56.280 get a little lit and then just hop in it and have it take you home i don't know if the law has

00:03:02.280 caught up with that yet you just passed out in the back seat because i think the criteria is

00:03:07.700 to get arrested for a driving under the influence the car has to have the ability for you to

00:03:15.440 control it so it has to have a steering wheel and uh pedals and whatnot but if you have no way

00:03:23.420 to control the vehicle i think in in that context you're okay yeah because what about those uh way

00:03:32.520 mo the way mo taxis in uh austin i've seen them tooling around the streets uh you could get in

00:03:42.400 those hammered yeah you drive home from a bar have it drive you home from a bar and um

00:03:48.080 yeah that's legal you can't get pulled over for a dewey in that so i don't know the future looks

00:03:55.860 bright for people that want to go out and have some drinks there was a time there it was very

00:04:01.380 difficult very difficult indeed to uh just go to the bar have a few drinks and uh get in your

00:04:09.200 vehicle you're like oh boy i don't know i've had three beers is that too much i didn't eat anything

00:04:16.760 i ate i didn't eat and now you're looking around you're playing police pac-man on the way home

00:04:22.660 because uh you're not sure you don't know but uh holiday weekends are always full of uh horrific

00:04:30.500 stories of people driving drunk and uh the other thing of course is um violence there's some

00:04:38.440 violence going on and uh memorial day is the kickoff to the summer this is always uh the big

00:04:46.960 launch of the summer uh beaches and clubs and all kinds of other things that uh that do most of

00:04:56.600 their business in the summer and labor day of course wraps it all up and then we got fourth

00:05:01.960 of july in the middle there but the heat the booze and uh some of these

00:05:09.400 blue cities that don't want to deal with real problems they uh wind up having big problems

00:05:18.160 on their hands so far in the beautiful windy city of chicago illinois and uh look it's it's

00:05:28.560 sunday night we're not even done yet tomorrow it's uh memorial day and we still have tonight

00:05:36.700 i mean it's still light out still light outside so when nighttime rolls around who knows what's

00:05:42.820 going to happen but so far this memorial day weekend chicago illinois 21 people shot

00:05:51.980 including kids and whatnot there was a mass shooting last night and five police officers

00:06:00.400 officers were hospitalized after being mowed down by an 18 year old teen teen during a teen

00:06:08.040 takeover on the west side uh just drove into a crowd of police officers chicago pd

00:06:16.000 they arrested the gentleman that was in the vehicle there was a firearm in the vehicle

00:06:23.220 and uh there you go you still got tonight and tomorrow memorial day for the final tally

00:06:32.840 from the the great city of chicago so uh good luck i don't know what they're gonna do

00:06:42.280 eventually because we'll talk about it a little later in the show because i got uh i got some

00:06:48.860 more clips and whatnot of the wonderful mayor johnson out there in chicago brandon johnson

00:06:56.160 who uh will go to great lengths to make sure his citizens are as unsafe as possible and he will go

00:07:05.760 to great lengths to make sure the criminals are coddled comforted and given the least least bit

00:07:15.660 of disciplinary action he can muster up and because of that you have a formerly wonderful

00:07:23.680 city that is uh now rife with crime and violence and people are freaking out about it but um it is

00:07:32.200 memorial day and uh boy i figured i would do something called a radio bit i know i know people

00:07:41.760 you know oh we're gonna do a top 10 list people i know what are you doing anthony

00:07:50.980 you're really gonna do a radio thing yeah i'm gonna do a radio thing uh these are the 10

00:08:02.200 As per, I don't even know what this is.

00:08:04.900 As per who?

00:08:05.960 As per what?

00:08:06.980 AI?

00:08:08.580 The 10 greatest and most watched movies on Memorial Day.

00:08:15.640 Yes, that's right.

00:08:17.000 Coming in with your top 10 list.

00:08:19.400 I feel like such a radio goon even doing this, but we have to.

00:08:27.880 Did I get the number out?

00:08:29.060 The phones seem a little light this evening.

00:08:31.200 I'll put the number out there.

00:08:32.200 800-848-9222, that will get you to the studio line,

00:08:39.300 and you can discuss anything and everything.

00:08:42.120 What we're talking about, what we're talking about at the moment,

00:08:44.880 what we talked about an hour ago, nothing.

00:08:47.680 What you want to talk about, feel free.

00:08:49.760 800-848-9222.

00:08:53.340 Let's get to this list.

00:08:55.400 If you think any of the movies on this list don't belong,

00:08:59.400 or if you feel a movie that you enjoy watching on Memorial Day wasn't on the list,

00:09:05.320 give us a call.

00:09:06.780 We'll put you through and let you say, why?

00:09:09.140 Why, Anthony, did you forget this movie?

00:09:13.160 That's my radio voice.

00:09:16.000 First, you have to just talk about the miniseries.

00:09:18.380 Not technically a movie, but Band of Brothers.

00:09:20.920 I mean, that is, I don't know, second to none.

00:09:26.180 If you have quite a few hours to invest to sit down and watch an amazing miniseries, the acting, the cinematography, it's everything.

00:09:38.700 The script, the look of it, the acting, it was done so well.

00:09:45.520 It's just about a perfect World War II docudrama.

00:09:50.420 They had to do a few things.

00:09:51.920 they combined a couple of characters in one character sometimes and um a little uh dramatic

00:09:58.300 license but uh that is a fantastic fantastic show and um i loved what they did at the end

00:10:07.880 because all during every episode they would start the episode off with a quick interview or a

00:10:17.720 statement from one of the soldiers in real life they were still alive a lot of these guys

00:10:24.020 when that was made back in 2001 and you'd hear him talking about stuff that uh happened or stuff

00:10:32.160 that's going to happen in the episode but you didn't know who they were you didn't know which

00:10:36.980 soldiers you were uh watching and which ones uh were being played in the show band of brothers

00:10:44.820 so uh at the end the last episode they would interview all these guys again and you'd see

00:10:52.800 their names underneath and go like oh my god that was that guy oh that's winters that's malarkey

00:11:00.200 that so uh that was done really well and just uh i don't care how much of a 0.97

00:11:06.960 unemotional piece of garbage you are because i've been called that many times 0.74

00:11:12.320 and uh it was just amazing the emotion of of those soldiers and uh what they went through 0.99

00:11:22.020 a lot of them are gone even the ones that were interviewed for band of brothers that was

00:11:27.300 you know 20 25 years ago and these guys were already pretty old there's only a few of them

00:11:34.620 left from world war ii and um it's uh it's heartbreaking you know i'm glad they made it but

00:11:42.660 boy they had to go through a whole life of remembering uh what they saw what they did

00:11:50.180 and that was during a time in history where guys just did not chit chat about things that got them

00:11:57.040 upset or emotional or anything like that so and these were the real heroes uh not not your fake

00:12:07.600 marvel comic heroes not someone that uh you know with their money they decided to uh

00:12:16.100 think they were a hero these guys put it all on the line and uh it's amazing so band of brothers

00:12:23.920 I put right up there.

00:12:25.980 Even better than the number one movie on the list.

00:12:28.720 But we'll be back after this break with the list,

00:12:32.980 the top ten movies that are watched on Memorial Day weekend.

00:13:37.380 Top movies that people watch during Memorial Day weekend.

00:13:41.760 My big radio top ten bit that I'm breaking out.

00:13:45.760 Kyle from Virginia has something to say about that.

00:13:48.740 Kyle, what's up?

00:13:49.340 uh yeah i was wondering if uh you're gonna do the top 10 gyms next

00:13:54.380 old friend of yours uh scorch if you remember him scorch scorch also used to do douche douche

00:14:03.440 or dressing i'm gonna name something oil and vinegar you have to tell me if it's douche or

00:14:08.320 dressing brilliant brilliant the color of the day there uh and color of the day is blue today

00:14:15.240 If you're wearing something blue, send me a picture of yourself.

00:14:18.280 We'll go to the prize closet.

00:14:20.040 Thank you, Kyle.

00:14:23.120 See, people that know me over the course of the years know I despise radio things,

00:14:28.900 like the hacky old-school bits that they would do.

00:14:35.240 War of the Roses.

00:14:37.280 We're going to have this gentleman give roses to his sweetheart.

00:14:40.940 He's married.

00:14:41.580 We have his wife on the phone.

00:14:42.640 but who is he going to give the roses to and then he picks a different girl than his wife

00:14:48.220 and his wife comes on and they argue it's totally fake it's totally fake but uh boy they're still

00:14:56.400 getting mileage out of that some of those morning zoo type shows still getting mileage from it so

00:15:04.200 i don't normally do it but it's memorial day people watch movies i was just talking about

00:15:09.700 how awesome a band of brothers was uh that's in a category all its own but the top movies

00:15:15.200 number 10 american sniper that's right 2014 clinton used a biography of a navy seal chris

00:15:22.100 kyle i met chris kyle he signed uh my 50 cal magazine for my barrett rifle obviously before

00:15:31.840 somebody decided to take him out at a rifle range uh you know what that one is a platoon is number

00:15:39.240 nine coming in at number nine platoon that's a great movie that really is there are some things

00:15:45.560 that you watch and it's a little dated charlie sheen he's got like hair i don't know why he's

00:15:52.920 got 80s hair uh in it but uh just great a great fun movie to watch sergeant barnes is amazing and

00:16:01.520 uh elias uh that's great 1998's thin red line coming in at number eight

00:16:08.080 uh guadalcanal world war ii movie i think sean penn's in that one uh going back to 1970 going

00:16:18.260 back to the 70s a classic rock movie uh patten george c scott that one's great some of the old

00:16:26.580 movies especially uh during the 90s and 2000s they really started coming out with some very

00:16:32.820 realistic and graphic uh filmmaking when it came to war movies so watching pat you'll laugh a

00:16:41.000 little at watching the the germans die whenever they get shot they they put both hands on where

00:16:47.860 the bullet went and they arch their backs backwards and fall down and spread their arms 0.85

00:16:54.820 out on the ground that's how every single german died in world war ii um if you uh watch these old

00:17:02.800 war movies from the 60s and 70s uh number six full metal jacket 1987 that one was of course

00:17:14.420 not a typical war movie there's not a lot of war in it it's more of a study of the uh soldiers the

00:17:25.440 characters obviously the first half of the movie taking place um at boot camp is uh better than

00:17:33.120 the rest of the movie a lot of people say that better than the entire uh rest of the movie is

00:17:39.480 just that beginning part with arlie ermy and private pile all right we're halfway through

00:17:47.260 halfway through now if i was a real radio hacky guy

00:17:50.920 i would i would wait and i'd go to a break and i tease that well the second half of the list is

00:18:01.040 coming up oh god did i despise that stuff maybe i should hit the phones

00:18:08.160 no i'm not going to do that to you guys uh number five uh we were soldiers

00:18:15.800 based on the first major battle of the vietnam war ladrang valley mel gibson of course starring

00:18:22.100 as uh colonel moore in a gripping story of leadership loss and the families left behind

00:18:28.180 that was pretty good mel gibson uh always turns in a stellar performance number four

00:18:37.120 uh black hawk down you can see the live version in minneapolis minnesota now just go to minneapolis

00:18:45.880 anywhere drop in anywhere and uh you'll feel like you were in the moog with the uh black hawk down

00:18:53.220 guys ridley scott so you know it looks great uh intense action yep that movie is action-packed

00:19:02.160 Great characters, great acting, and the war footage, the battle footage, I don't know.

00:19:08.700 Ridley's great at doing stuff like that.

00:19:11.600 This is obviously the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, and just a great movie.

00:19:18.760 Rewatchability factor.

00:19:20.820 It's fantastic.

00:19:22.140 That's from 2001.

00:19:24.820 Now we're really going to go back.

00:19:28.680 1989's Glory, going back to the Civil War.

00:19:32.160 uh powerful civil war drama the first all-black volunteer regiment in the union army this one

00:19:38.680 starred denzel washington and matthew broderick this was a little weird and matthew broderick

00:19:45.360 pulled it off but this wasn't very long after ferris bueller's day off and uh you talk about

00:19:52.500 things like typecasting and what people are willing to believe uh that was a little that was

00:19:58.860 rough denzel of course again another one that always turns in a stellar performance but uh

00:20:04.800 matthew broderick uh kind of overcame the ferris bueller it was like ferris bueller goes to the

00:20:11.020 civil war that would have really turned off a lot of people but it turns out the kid could act

00:20:15.700 the kid gets that picture there was another movie which one was it the thin red line that i talked

00:20:23.260 about with sean penn and michael j fox was in it i think michael j fox was in one of these war

00:20:29.400 movies and that kind of took you out because michael j fox it was very difficult for him to

00:20:36.220 go to a drama to dramatic kind of a war movie like that uh i don't know why you know he's a good

00:20:44.280 good little actor at the time but uh it did it didn't work and and one of the one of the parts

00:20:52.280 a band of brothers that took me out of it uh because because the acting was amazing

00:21:00.260 in uh band of brothers but jimmy fallon was in it they gave jimmy fallon a little part

00:21:08.320 where he drives a jeep up into um it was the battle of the bulge the ardennes forest

00:21:14.000 he's like hey guys you need anyone need some ammo and you're like oh it's jimmy fallon you

00:21:20.640 just totally ripped me out of the movie so uh yeah ferris bueller in the civil war it worked

00:21:28.820 though glory was good another uh mel gibson movie comes up at number two hacksaw ridge

00:21:34.680 this one was great a medic who uh didn't want to uh fight and uh it turns out he saved a bunch

00:21:44.440 of people without firing a shot hacksaw ridge and uh number one the number one movie you got

00:21:52.780 to say it like this and the number one movie that is watched during memorial day weekend

00:21:59.280 war movies coming in at number one from 1998 steven spielberg saving private ryan that's

00:22:10.760 right people and i have a bunch of sound effects and drums that play and that would be my radio

00:22:18.280 bit if i was going to do it right now yeah saving private ryan uh steven spielberg's masterpiece

00:22:24.900 follows a squad of u.s soldiers searching for a paratrooper behind enemy lines after d-day

00:22:29.880 the opening beach scene is one of the most realistic and harrowing depictions of war ever

00:22:33.960 filmed and of course the great tom hanks who also uh is a fantastic actor yeah that opening sequence

00:22:43.420 to this day is brutal and then the uh the scene where the the nazi the german soldier puts the

00:22:51.860 dagger into the jewish american soldier's chest in the building it is so brutal so uh that one

00:23:01.240 coming in at number one there's your list pick one watch it and uh enjoy your weekend back

00:23:06.960 in moments where the hell do you think you're going it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple

00:23:15.020 podcast network when you travel well your klm royal dutch airlines ticket takes you to more

00:23:23.900 than just your destination it takes you to winding streets spontaneous detours and the

00:23:30.220 realization that neither of you is actually good with directions recalculating route and when the

00:23:36.120 final shortcut taken isn't exactly short welcome aboard our crew is here to give you a trip home

00:23:43.580 that goes just as planned klm royal dutch airlines when you travel travel well

00:24:00.220 the anthony comia show and uh memorial day weekend always nice even if the weather isn't

00:24:08.660 it's a nice reflect on some american heroes people that gave their lives for what you can enjoy your

00:24:15.400 little barbecue your time out with the friends and family uh remember that uh and uh the other

00:24:24.180 thing is uh patriotism i was talking a little bit about patriotism and the the uh bicentennial and a

00:24:34.840 half bicentennial and a quarter i think is is coming up 250 years of america and uh i'm just

00:24:46.020 not feeling the patriotism and i think that's because the number of patriots patriotic people

00:24:55.340 in this country has uh gone way down way down the bicentennial 1976 uh a a 15 is that what i was

00:25:09.320 A 15-year-old Anthony was coming back from California to New York,

00:25:17.860 and it was amazing.

00:25:20.380 The tall ships in the harbor, all the fire boats would shoot out red, white, and blue water

00:25:30.300 in these giant fountains, and the ships were amazing.

00:25:36.280 these wooden ships from god knows when uh men up on the masts uh it was just an amazing thing and

00:25:45.580 american flags everywhere everywhere you'd see entire towns decorated up uh flags uh banners

00:25:59.920 a bunting and uh it it felt good commercials tv commercials were just full of patriotism

00:26:10.880 americans doing fun things and uh where is that where is that we get the the the antithesis of

00:26:22.580 that we get people that hate america they're not even they're not even saying we don't want to

00:26:29.880 participate i i don't feel like celebrating america they crap on america that's what they do

00:26:37.940 there's a a sacramento congresswoman or she's a candidate for congress and right now i guess 0.87

00:26:46.700 she's on some city council uh my vang my vang hurts oh my vang i gotta go to your urologist

00:26:58.980 for my vang my vang that seems to be her name what a very interesting name my vang all right

00:27:06.960 enough anthony we get it um she refused at one of these city council meetings to stand up

00:27:14.260 for the pledge of allegiance oh she stood up but then she turned her back

00:27:19.300 on the flag and did not recite the pledge.

00:27:27.080 And why are these people running for office?

00:27:33.580 If you don't have a commitment to this country

00:27:38.840 and its ideals and values, what are you running for?

00:27:43.940 I'll tell you what, to destroy the ideals and values,

00:27:47.940 to make problems for people that want that tradition that is America.

00:27:58.940 The values, the ethics, morality, whatever you want to call it,

00:28:05.500 the commonality of all of us that we used to have when we were Americans.

00:28:10.560 and now you get these people like my vang uh refusing to face the flag and and speak the

00:28:22.720 pledge of allegiance to that flag and to the country uh because they don't like that they

00:28:29.580 want to be elected so they can have power now within the system they hate to destroy

00:28:37.780 from the inside what america is all about why do we allow this and you could hit me with these

00:28:46.260 technicalities well she qualifies uh here it says if you're of this age and you're

00:28:53.840 the citizen and you're this and you live within the boundaries of blah blah blah

00:28:58.180 uh yeah maybe you ought to take a look at that maybe that ought to be checked

00:29:04.800 because a lot of these things, when they were written,

00:29:09.620 there wasn't even the concept of somebody that would run for office

00:29:16.500 that had ill will toward the entire country

00:29:20.640 and what the country stands for and what it's about.

00:29:25.520 It just wasn't conceivable.

00:29:28.720 If you were going to serve in the government,

00:29:32.620 you were going to serve the people.

00:29:33.960 You're going to take some time away from you being an American citizen, contributing.

00:29:40.500 A lot of these politicians weren't politicians.

00:29:43.740 They were farmers and blacksmiths and carpenters, whatever.

00:29:50.480 A cobbler, perhaps?

00:29:52.100 A cooper?

00:29:53.280 A guy that made barrels?

00:29:55.000 And then they, that's why it was a sacrifice, a commitment to the people and to the country.

00:30:01.860 They talk about it now.

00:30:02.960 politicians retire after a thousand years in office they're a thousand times uh more wealthy

00:30:11.100 than they were when they got in sometimes millions more and uh they they talk about the sacrifice

00:30:19.200 this person made to to serve the people yeah it's not like they were serving themselves more than

00:30:28.600 anyone else but back in the olden days uh people would be representatives of their community

00:30:37.340 and they were the ones that had to listen to the complaints and what people needed and they would

00:30:44.240 hop on their horse or their wagon and go to the the big city and talk to the state representatives

00:30:52.280 and then those state representatives would go to washington and talk to the big wigs the federal

00:30:57.840 government and no one wanted to do that for any length of time

00:31:03.520 they they had lives that they had to get back to and uh now politician is a job if you want

00:31:14.940 to call it that it sounds like a uh a cushy gig and they make a lot of money doing it and uh

00:31:25.220 And they're professional politicians.

00:31:28.160 This was just not a thing back in those days.

00:31:31.640 So the people that were being elected were people from the community.

00:31:37.740 They understood what the community wanted, what they needed,

00:31:43.540 and that's how they became good representatives.

00:31:46.540 And it was unheard of that you'd get somebody that was anti-American,

00:31:51.060 anti-whatever-the-values were in that town that they're representing. 1.00

00:31:57.120 They go in and go, no, we want men, men dressed as like the whores on top of the saloon. 1.00

00:32:04.560 We want them dressed like that, and then we want them to go to the little schoolhouse 1.00

00:32:08.280 and read stories to the children.

00:32:10.700 Could you imagine that in like the 1800s?

00:32:13.920 how quickly a .45 would be drawn on that guy.

00:32:23.460 I think we should put books in the little schoolhouse 0.97

00:32:27.140 that depict homosexuality and... 1.00

00:32:30.340 Can we get another representative, please?

00:32:34.920 But, yeah, it was just unheard of 0.99

00:32:36.600 that you'd get someone like Mai Vang.

00:32:39.940 Is it Mai Vang?

00:32:41.360 Mai Mai Vang?

00:32:42.480 Maya Vang? 1.00

00:32:43.140 may have whatever uh but we need to do something there are too many people getting seats of power

00:32:54.080 in this country that hate this country and they hate everything that went along with it for many

00:33:00.000 many years that a lot of people think made this the greatest country in the world and when people

00:33:07.260 say MAGA, make America great again. They're referring to a time where we didn't have these

00:33:13.400 communists and freaks in office making laws and policy that is completely opposite of our values

00:33:25.500 as Americans. But here we are with this woman refusing to stand and recite the Pledge of 0.98

00:33:34.820 allegiance running for congress and she'll probably win i can't stand that i watch these 0.79

00:33:44.280 politicians go who the hell is voting for these and then you got to get pulled into the conspiracy

00:33:50.260 thing that there's a concerted effort of financiers coming forward and and giving money and i know

00:33:59.680 it's happened george soros the whole soros family giving money to make sure the district attorneys

00:34:05.400 don't do their job in these major cities so crime goes up i don't know what the 0.92

00:34:11.820 end game is there but it seems to be working it's disgusting i'll tell you it's disgusting

00:34:19.980 uh let's see jim jim jim from uh what is that oakland new jersey thought it was california

00:34:28.420 What's up, Jim? 0.99

00:34:30.220 My white Irish ass wouldn't look good in Oakland, California. 1.00

00:34:34.080 I know. 1.00

00:34:36.200 I hear you.

00:34:38.040 There's a better chance of you seeing Jesus than me ever getting in one of those taxis with nobody driving me.

00:34:44.480 Come on.

00:34:45.380 Yeah, you know, I feel the same way.

00:34:47.480 I've never gotten in one.

00:34:48.720 I've seen them.

00:34:49.900 But why would I trust that?

00:34:52.940 Right.

00:34:55.340 Mechanical failures happen all the time.

00:34:57.280 And I've heard it's safer than having a human driver, but I don't buy it.

00:35:05.620 I don't know about that.

00:35:07.820 Yeah.

00:35:08.440 And I miss your old radio days.

00:35:10.580 I love when you did that.

00:35:12.020 Here at CBS FM, Bill likes to touch children.

00:35:17.120 Yeah, we would always make fun of the old radio voices and whatnot.

00:35:22.120 Thank you, Jim.

00:35:22.880 I appreciate the call.

00:35:24.740 i think cbs is uh news radio cbs is off the air going off the air that's another one another one

00:35:33.820 of these legendary calls legendary stations in new york just gone it is amazing the internet

00:35:43.220 um i think it's pretty much the internet i think if you look at anything you know tv viewing

00:35:50.800 numbers everyone wanted to uh congratulate uh stephen colbert on his last episode because he

00:35:58.280 got a couple of million people to finally watch his show when fact of the matter is it was

00:36:06.420 two percent of people that own televisions that's not a lot that's not a lot as far as the the

00:36:15.520 ratings go uh one in five people one in five americans in the united states watched the last

00:36:25.820 johnny carson episode of the tonight show when he bid a fun farewell to uh everybody and uh

00:36:35.340 it's not even remotely close to that and that's what he does when he's leaving when he's fired

00:36:45.000 when there's a ton of press about it,

00:36:50.280 when people are talking about him for a year.

00:36:52.540 They said he was gone a year ago,

00:36:54.440 and it's been this big buildup,

00:36:56.820 and the celebrities that were going on,

00:37:00.160 and the talk about Trump is the one that did this.

00:37:04.360 And what happened?

00:37:07.240 He wound up getting 2% of the people that have a TV on at that moment.

00:37:14.200 that's not a lot of people when you're talking a major network with that much exposure

00:37:20.520 oh see and people are trying to use it as see a lot of people liked uh colbert and

00:37:28.360 no they didn't no they didn't same thing that happened to kimmel when he got in trouble

00:37:35.180 and they took him off the air for a couple of days and everyone was like oh my god oh he's coming

00:37:42.860 back and then when he came back he got this ratings bump and it was gone the next night

00:37:50.100 no one cares no one cares about these late night uh talk shows and uh i think the internet did have

00:38:01.260 something to do with it uh well maybe something more than just an another option to watching

00:38:09.480 stuff people like watching clips of shows they don't really watch shows the entire show and and

00:38:16.180 rarely do they watch television it's sort of an archaic way of watching stuff they deliver you

00:38:24.660 programs that you didn't ask for at a time you didn't ask for or you might not be available

00:38:32.220 whereas on online you watch anything you want whenever you want that took away a hell of a

00:38:39.280 lot of viewership from television it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:38:47.760 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

00:38:57.320 the anthony cumia show let's go to carl in new jersey carl you got more war movies for this

00:39:04.100 memorial day that maybe didn't make the list yes hey great show by the way and thank you

00:39:10.360 yeah the one movie i was thinking about was the movie called bat 21 gene hackman

00:39:16.340 what about yes where would you stick that one gene hackman uh he was uh one of those guys that

00:39:22.080 flew around looking for lost airmen no no he he was the lost airman oh was he the last one i thought

00:39:28.800 Oh, that's right.

00:39:30.040 I was thinking of the other movie like that with the guy from Lethal Weapon

00:39:36.700 and the other guy from the other movie.

00:39:40.120 Oh, Mel Gibson you're talking about.

00:39:42.180 No, that was Lethal Weapon.

00:39:44.120 But, okay, so he was the downed airman in that one.

00:39:48.280 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's another movie.

00:39:50.140 Yeah, right.

00:39:50.840 Who was the guy that was trying to find him?

00:39:54.100 I'm sorry?

00:39:55.260 Who was the guy that was trying to find the downed airman in the other plane?

00:40:00.740 It was Gene Hackman.

00:40:01.740 He was the guy that played the officer.

00:40:04.060 Yeah, but he can't be the guy that's lost and the guy that's trying to find him.

00:40:08.400 Who was the other guy?

00:40:10.620 Oh, geez, there were several people trying to find him.

00:40:12.860 There was a black helicopter pilot who gave up his time just to fly again to spot where he was.

00:40:19.900 And I think they use the idea of a coded kind of message back and forth in their communication. 0.98

00:40:26.040 Right, right.

00:40:26.900 Of course, kind of references.

00:40:30.640 Yeah.

00:40:31.520 Did you hear about the new technology that they supposedly have now where they can hear the airman's heart from miles away in order to get a beat on where he is and pick him up?

00:40:44.340 I think they said one of the downed airmen during one of these Iranian strikes was found that way, where they could actually detect a certain person's heartbeat from miles away.

00:40:56.640 That sounds like science fiction right there, Carl. 0.93

00:40:59.840 Yeah, definitely.

00:41:00.660 Hey, as a matter of fact, I wonder why that technique could not have been used in trying to locate, as soon as possible after it happened, the abduction of that woman, Nancy, that old woman.

00:41:11.760 Yeah.

00:41:12.440 Remember?

00:41:12.840 i'm assuming they probably they probably have to get some kind of a baseline on the person's heart

00:41:21.040 like there's probably specific uh anomalies or or characteristics of an airman's heart that they

00:41:29.060 have recorded and then when he goes missing or shot down they're able to match that i don't think

00:41:34.880 you could just pick somebody out of the phone book and find them unless they've gone through that

00:41:39.860 uh procedure or something i don't know well didn't she have something like a pacemaker or

00:41:46.480 when they monitor to begin with yeah she had like a pacemaker monitor but you have to be within the

00:41:52.120 range of the base unit which is usually in your house and then it uploads it to your doctor um

00:41:58.940 if you leave the the range of that base station the most they could get out of the pacemakers

00:42:04.960 If they do find her dead, they could take the pacemaker out

00:42:08.340 and download some pertinent information.

00:42:12.680 But until they find her, you know, it doesn't really work.

00:42:17.360 Yeah, yeah, but you're right, all kinds of amazing technology.

00:42:20.740 That's all another story.

00:42:21.960 It is crazy, man.

00:42:23.580 Technology, AI, and so forth.

00:42:25.600 Yeah, I appreciate your call.

00:42:27.580 That's a good pick for the movie.

00:42:30.200 Yeah, yeah.

00:42:32.060 I remember that one.

00:42:33.420 i could do this all show just pick movies yeah tell me about it i know that one technology is

00:42:40.620 amazing i saw a couple of these hundred year old world war ii veterans uh online today and uh

00:42:47.200 it was funny they're both in wheelchairs they get wheeled over to each other and uh the first thing

00:42:54.300 they start doing is busting each other's balls it was so funny what are you doing what are you

00:42:59.220 cold they just start ragging on each other 100 years old both of these guys one was i think 103 0.99

00:43:06.080 and uh they just pick up right where they left off as guys guys just giving each other crap

00:43:13.480 it was uh fantastic and then i was just thinking they could never have imagined

00:43:20.140 especially during combat that they would be alive to see 2026 you know

00:43:27.080 it's easy and uh then you think of all the technology that they've seen over the course

00:43:36.160 of their life you know very early on in world war ii we uh the united states didn't have great

00:43:45.660 equipment we had kind of sat around on our laurels as they say after world war one with a lot of world

00:43:54.840 war one era machinery and technology the germans really advanced uh everything every aspect of

00:44:04.220 modern war armor aircraft guns uh it uh it was a whole new world so those guys seeing what they

00:44:15.180 saw at world war ii and then just seeing everything that's going on with technology

00:44:19.840 today um has to be amazing i the only thing i've seen as far as technology is digital

00:44:28.880 i haven't really seen anything to the extent that these guys saw giant behemoth uh uh air

00:44:39.360 aircraft whereas you know they were there were airplanes with just a couple of people in it

00:44:45.600 back when they were alive.

00:44:50.060 And when they were children, they probably remember no planes at all.

00:44:57.060 And now, you know, they're flying around.

00:44:59.420 There's giant aircraft.

00:45:00.640 There's rockets.

00:45:01.780 It's got to be something.

00:45:03.560 Got to be pretty amazing for those guys.

00:45:05.940 And it's kind of sad, and it's cool that they're around,

00:45:11.140 But it's sad to know that they are the last of a lot, a lot of people.

00:45:18.840 And they've gone, what, 80, over 80 years having to deal with things they saw and did.

00:45:28.480 And, you know, you've got to give them respect.

00:45:31.880 And a Memorial Day is primarily for the dead, the war dead.

00:45:35.780 But those guys, you definitely got to tip your caps to those 100-year-old World War II soldiers.

00:45:44.740 All right, we'll be right back.

00:45:47.260 I hope you're having a great Memorial Day weekend.

00:49:37.180 uh that was the movie that michael j fox was in i got confused uh because sean penn is also in

00:49:46.860 casualties of war and he's in thin red line thin red line and they're both war movies and

00:49:52.800 what the hell do i know uh i just didn't think michael j fox uh in a war movie worked i just

00:50:02.460 don't think it uh panned out and and i was talking earlier about glory and the fact that um ferris

00:50:09.420 bueller matthew broderick is in that one i think it matters that it was the civil war and he was

00:50:16.440 an officer more so than if it was ferris bueller in world war ii or vietnam i don't think that

00:50:24.580 would have worked i think as a kind of a stuffy northern officer uh it worked well in glory

00:50:34.060 so there you go uh yeah colbert let's let's uh really delve into the colbert thing with bruce

00:50:43.500 springsteen uh this was it's like i was saying earlier the the liberals that that embraced this

00:50:54.560 guy because he put them on he let them get their agenda across uh without ever criticizing them

00:51:02.680 it was a trump bash fest an advance bash fest just a overall republican bash fest on uh colbert's

00:51:10.600 show and the liberals loved it the liberal democrats oh did they love it and uh actors

00:51:19.780 and musicians went on there because they're playing to an audience

00:51:25.960 that thinks like them.

00:51:29.440 So it's easy.

00:51:31.200 It's an easy audience, the no-lose scenario.

00:51:35.760 So here's Bruce.

00:51:37.380 This is clip AC9.

00:51:38.940 This is Bruce introing him, himself, and is bashing Trump

00:51:46.460 and introing his song,

00:51:49.320 Many Streets of Minneapolis.

00:51:51.920 Let's listen.

00:51:53.740 Steven.

00:51:55.920 I'm here in support tonight for Steven

00:51:58.220 because you're the first guy in America

00:52:00.940 who's lost his show because we got a president

00:52:03.040 who can't take a joke.

00:52:04.600 Oh, that must be right.

00:52:06.640 Not the $50 million a year he was losing.

00:52:10.080 And because Larry and David Ellison 1.00

00:52:12.700 feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. 1.00

00:52:15.300 Bruce! Language! 1.00

00:52:19.960 Anyway, Stephen, these are small-minded people.

00:52:22.280 We got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about.

00:52:27.560 This is for you.

00:52:28.740 Really?

00:52:30.240 In the streets of Minneapolis.

00:52:35.140 Really?

00:52:36.580 Small-minded people that don't know what the freedoms of this country are supposed to be?

00:52:40.880 It's the exact opposite.

00:52:42.960 We are never going to get along. The right, the left, conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat. We just are never going to get along again. It's so obvious we are so divided. And we just despise each other.

00:53:02.420 i think the right has more potential to to have a conversation with the left

00:53:11.180 i think that's always been the case people that are considered right wing

00:53:17.300 uh don't have a problem sitting down and having a

00:53:21.620 trying to have a civil conversation or debate with someone on the left

00:53:26.620 uh but the people on the left don't even want to see don't want to look at anybody that is 0.54

00:53:36.620 considered uh right-leaning they're nazis they're terrible existential threat to the world and to

00:53:45.380 democracy so they uh they they yell curses they resort to violence uh so there's there's no

00:53:56.700 getting this back together again one side is going to have to bend the knee and capitulate

00:54:03.820 and be like yes we were so completely wrong and we we beg for forgiveness please can we

00:54:13.600 still be part of this Grand Republic.

00:54:18.280 And that doesn't seem to be happening.

00:54:20.860 I mean, the South didn't even really do that

00:54:22.860 after the Civil War.

00:54:24.000 It was like, well, we lost,

00:54:26.240 and we'd like to be part of something,

00:54:28.860 but go F yourself.

00:54:31.360 And now, though, it's even worse.

00:54:34.580 We don't even feel like brothers of America,

00:54:38.700 like North and South, brother against brother,

00:54:42.000 a nation torn apart yeah it was a nation that was torn apart what is now no one even feels like

00:54:49.300 there is this base nation that we both belong to that both sides belong to and are willing to fight

00:54:56.620 for and the ideology we have as to what America is is so completely different honestly the north

00:55:07.720 and the south during the civil war had more in common as american brethren as the right and the

00:55:16.640 left have in common today i think uh at the time the north and the south both believed in america

00:55:26.960 their vision of america and a lot of it uh was uh in common all right there was that pesky

00:55:36.960 slavery thing but uh you know for the most part traditions family working hard unity

00:55:47.560 uh that's what both sides believed in and now it is just

00:55:57.260 i you know obviously i'm more right-leaning uh i see the left as mental patients i see them as

00:56:08.780 emotionally disturbed uh mentally ill people and and all of their biggest issues the ones that they 0.97

00:56:18.980 go out and protest for are sick they're they're terrible completely uh not compatible with america 0.81

00:56:29.680 and what this country uh was built on and what it's supposed to be i honestly think the the 0.99

00:56:37.520 people in the south during the civil war believed more in a traditional america than these liberals 0.99

00:56:44.020 do these days they're freak shows and they're hairy man asses in dresses reading to children 0.98

00:56:51.160 that's a thing that's a thing that should start a civil war right there that should be enough 0.93

00:56:58.140 for people to grab the old musket two arms two arms i think that was the revolution but

00:57:05.080 two arms yeah i got two arms how many legs but uh yeah i kind of got off track there but

00:57:13.060 But that was the great Bruce Springsteen. 0.99

00:57:16.800 Stupid Bruce. 1.00

00:57:19.560 And the people that go to his shows and buy whatever slop he's putting out now, 1.00

00:57:26.420 they're insane. 1.00

00:57:28.200 They're mental patients, too. 1.00

00:57:30.040 I honestly believe that. 0.99

00:57:31.640 And I know the left believes that we're Nazis and fascists and terrible people. 0.99

00:57:39.600 but i can absolutely prove that they're bat crap crazy and you know try to prove uh that we're 0.98

00:57:50.300 literally nazis literally hitler i love when they say that you're literally hitler no hitler 0.98

00:57:57.520 was literally hitler and uh you'd be hard-pressed to show that you know these people are are nazis 0.99

00:58:05.920 When they've started to say that black and Hispanic people, depending on their politics, are white supremacists, I have to assume you're insane. 0.98

00:58:19.500 They've accused conservative black people, Republican black people, as being white supremacists. 0.98

00:58:27.760 even Orwell 0.93

00:58:30.400 would go

00:58:32.100 yeah I can't

00:58:33.320 I couldn't write that down

00:58:35.080 it's not realistic enough

00:58:37.120 but here we are

00:58:38.640 alright stick around

00:58:40.140 your calls and a lot more next

00:58:42.380 it's the Anthony Cumia show

00:58:45.040 on the Red Apple Podcast Network

00:58:47.400 it's the Anthony Cumia show

00:58:54.760 entertaining and informative

00:58:56.600 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:59:00.960 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:59:03.660 It is Memorial Day weekend.

00:59:07.080 We're talking, I don't know, movies about war in general, veterans.

00:59:14.700 Lou has a comment and perhaps a question here.

00:59:18.720 Lou Floral Park, what's up?

00:59:21.200 Yes, Anthony, I know you're a firearm enthusiast, as I am also.

00:59:25.120 Can you answer, what was the most prolific firearm produced in World War II?

00:59:33.220 Oh, boy.

00:59:35.120 Produced or used?

00:59:37.320 Manufactured.

00:59:39.600 You know, I would have to think the M1 Garand.

00:59:46.160 No, sir, you're incorrect.

00:59:48.740 All right.

00:59:49.400 It's the M130 caliber carbine.

00:59:51.900 Oh, the carbine version. Yes, yes.

00:59:55.580 They made six million of them.

00:59:58.080 Rockola, Postal Media, Westinghouse.

01:00:04.640 They were all contracted by the government, and the parts were all interchangeable.

01:00:10.740 They were thinking back then.

01:00:13.720 Yeah, it was mass produced.

01:00:16.060 Yeah, that's a great, that's a fun weapon to shoot.

01:00:19.300 It was a little lighter and shorter than the M1 Garand.

01:00:25.360 Oh, a whole lot.

01:00:26.520 I have both.

01:00:28.020 Those Garands, you know, you pick up a Garand or a British Enfield,

01:00:36.260 you really start sympathizing for those guys carting those things over their shoulder

01:00:41.740 for miles and miles and miles.

01:00:44.460 Just crazy.

01:00:45.560 Those are heavy, heavy weapons.

01:00:47.180 Yeah, and, you know, I read once that the average weight of an entryman in World War II was 150 pounds.

01:00:55.940 Yeah, they were kind of smaller guys than they are now.

01:01:01.420 I don't know what happened. 0.99

01:01:02.320 They were smaller guys, but, you know, I'll tell you one thing that wasn't small, balls. 0.98

01:01:09.080 Those guys, some set. 0.96

01:01:11.180 And the Mauser was a lighter rifle than the Enfield or the Garand. 0.84

01:01:20.980 But, yeah, the Germans kind of figured out how to lighten that rifle up, 0.65

01:01:25.520 their standard-issue rifle. 0.87

01:01:29.300 All right, Lou.

01:01:30.300 Thanks for the call. 0.99

01:01:32.640 Lou, Floral Puck.

01:01:34.140 Doesn't that just sound like when I was growing up listening to radio

01:01:37.380 and I'd hear people like Bob Grant take phone calls.

01:01:41.300 It was always like, Lou in Floral Park,

01:01:45.040 what do you have for the program this afternoon?

01:01:50.200 So I'm honored to have a Lou from Floral Park giving us a call.

01:01:57.120 Oh, boy.

01:01:58.860 He's talking about Colbert and Bruce Springsteen. 0.98

01:02:03.000 you got to think who else could fit into this category of jackasses well she rears her big 1.00

01:02:13.140 fat pumpkin head every so often from uh the emerald isle that's right rosie o'donnell 1.00

01:02:21.560 rosie o'donnell is uh back she's talking about stephen colbert being taken off the air and

01:02:30.560 And Trump, of course, she never pops up on social media

01:02:34.400 without talking about Donald J. Trump.

01:02:39.420 And she, unfortunately, you can't see it here,

01:02:43.820 but she has her friend, her big herpes sore on her lip. 1.00

01:02:53.720 That is, God only knows what nasty crap she was doing. 1.00

01:03:00.560 Back in her day, come here, come into my house. 1.00

01:03:05.800 Although, you know, let's let's scissor. 1.00

01:03:08.420 You want to scissor? 1.00

01:03:11.220 God only knows what she was doing. 1.00

01:03:13.900 But here's Rosie, dumb as ever, AC8. 0.98

01:03:20.740 You know, I can't even really tell you how unbearably sad it is to know that CBS capitulated and took the bribe. 0.98

01:03:30.560 and removed Stephen Colbert from TV.

01:03:33.400 Could you pause this clip for a second?

01:03:34.880 I can't tell you how.

01:03:36.880 What bribe?

01:03:38.960 What did CBS do to, or Trump do to bribe CBS?

01:03:48.400 Colbert's show was losing money, bleeding revenue,

01:03:53.560 to the tune of, I think they said $50 million a year.

01:03:58.340 That's a lot of money.

01:03:59.700 I saw a picture of this guy's staff for the late show.

01:04:04.240 They had the entire staff on the late show stage,

01:04:07.420 and they took an overhead kind of shot of it.

01:04:12.720 SpaceX doesn't need that many people.

01:04:16.120 For what? 1.00

01:04:17.000 To write this idiot one or two jokes a night? 1.00

01:04:20.460 To go out on stage and crap on Trump and Republicans and conservatives 1.00

01:04:26.540 and push the Democrat-liberal agenda and have dancing vaccine needles. 0.76

01:04:34.400 It took a staff that was bigger than any TV show staff I've ever seen.

01:04:44.360 And they were losing money.

01:04:48.340 His biggest show was his last show.

01:04:51.520 Two percent of the people watching television that night watched it.

01:04:56.540 That's nobody.

01:04:58.020 It's nothing.

01:04:58.960 And that was his greatest, biggest audience ever.

01:05:02.220 And like Daffy Duck when he drank the gasoline.

01:05:05.280 I can only do it once.

01:05:08.020 You can't have your final show again.

01:05:11.920 Unless you're The Who.

01:05:13.700 The Who can have a farewell tour every five, six years.

01:05:18.080 But if you get fired and you're leaving,

01:05:22.200 yeah, you're pretty much done.

01:05:23.240 That's the last time you could do that trick.

01:05:24.620 and rosie though believes that somehow trump had something to do with this

01:05:32.080 just another excuse they cannot accept the fact that they are failures that someone like

01:05:39.680 stephen colbert uh failed to get an audience he chased away more people than he brought in

01:05:47.320 and that was it he got fired for that if donald trump had any say over who was on the air or not

01:05:56.940 at cbs why did they keep him for a year why did they keep him on for a year it's not like they're

01:06:04.400 going to another personality a huge star well we wanted to wait until uh our big talk show star

01:06:12.980 was freed up to take over Late Show. 0.99

01:06:16.020 They're putting in a stupid revamped comedy show 1.00

01:06:21.140 at that night, at that time of night. 1.00

01:06:25.680 So why did they leave him on?

01:06:27.940 They could have just taken him off immediately.

01:06:30.340 Look, Donald, we took him off right away.

01:06:32.420 Great, good to see it.

01:06:34.340 But they didn't.

01:06:35.480 They didn't do that.

01:06:37.200 So Rosie, like the rest of them, 1.00

01:06:40.060 does not even know what the hell she's talking about a little more rosie o'donnell like depleting 0.99

01:06:46.920 and depressing it is to me and uh unfair and un-american un-american supply and demand 0.59

01:06:55.500 and he's getting more crazy by the day uh donald trump by the day he announced yesterday in a 0.98

01:07:03.440 speech that i say the word dumb i use the word dumb and dumb has a b in it a lot of people don't 0.99

01:07:09.080 know that a lot of people don't know that if they're seven what's wrong with him and then he 0.93

01:07:16.040 had another speech and he said i'm the smartest man you'll ever know dear god almighty could you 1.00

01:07:22.100 pause that again it's donald trump you idiot of course he says that dumb you know it's gotta be 1.00

01:07:30.400 in it that's hilarious that's funny it's donald trump being funny trolling having a little bit 1.00

01:07:40.200 of a laugh with the media and everyone else there i think donald trump knows that everyone knows 0.98

01:07:46.280 dumb has a b in it even rosie o'donnell knows that dumb has uh a b in it oh my god all right 0.98

01:07:54.520 uh we'll take a quick break and we'll come back with a little more rosie we got some mayor mam 0.99

01:07:59.740 danny and a lot more stick around it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:08:06.460 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:08:16.000 it's the anthony cumia show and uh let's continue a little bit a little bit more with uh

01:08:22.280 The amazing Rosie O'Donnell talking about Stephen Colbert's firing, which she thinks, of course, was Donald Trump, because everything that happens that she doesn't agree with or like must be Donald Trump.

01:08:37.520 Yeah, a little more of a Rosie here.

01:08:40.660 He's deluded.

01:08:41.360 It's like me saying I'm the thinnest person you've ever seen.

01:08:44.160 That's deluded.

01:08:45.900 I am.

01:08:47.160 I don't wear glasses.

01:08:49.920 I am.

01:08:50.640 I'm not wearing glasses.

01:08:51.860 like it's crazy it's completely devoid of reality that's the issue joking you know the sadness uh

01:09:01.000 to know that he's been getting away with it and the slush fund and

01:09:05.760 his constant deluded disgraceful behavior 0.98

01:09:11.500 you could stop it right there proud the um it's so ridiculous how they 0.99

01:09:19.860 talk about Donald Trump 0.92

01:09:21.900 with the same language

01:09:23.880 and terms that they

01:09:26.140 should have used for Joe Biden 0.98

01:09:28.320 and that clown 0.92

01:09:30.100 show for years

01:09:32.080 where God knows who was

01:09:33.980 running anything.

01:09:35.660 We can assume it was

01:09:37.940 Obama and company,

01:09:39.400 but if you think

01:09:41.820 Donald Trump telling

01:09:43.980 a joke about, you know, I use 1.00

01:09:45.980 the word dumb. It's got to be in it. 0.97

01:09:47.760 A lot of people don't know that. That's funny.

01:09:49.480 that's donald trump if if somebody uh i don't know ronald reagan said that jimmy carter said

01:09:57.920 that you'd go like huh uh-oh donald trump said it he obviously says stuff like this

01:10:05.240 and it's to goof on the media to to be funny donald trump likes being funny

01:10:13.280 but not a word did did uh herpy lip rosy say a word about joe biden and his lack of mental acuity

01:10:26.780 during his tenure even before during the campaign when they hit him in the basement of his house

01:10:33.640 remember that and then the end of his presidency where they're trying to drag him

01:10:41.260 across the finish line and he collapsed during that debate thank god and that was that

01:10:48.460 and and not a word from rosie or the likes george clooney where were all those uh people

01:10:57.880 that are speaking up and saying oh my god did you say see donald trump said he's the smartest

01:11:03.440 guy in the world you know that's funny they've all lost whatever sense of humor they may have had

01:11:11.520 they're incapable of identifying when something is funny or when someone's making a joke even

01:11:19.020 someone like trump that you despise that you you cannot stand at least at the very least go 0.98

01:11:26.580 all right he's busting balls he's joking around a little bit but nope a sense of humor 0.95

01:11:33.420 would entail you you have intelligence and you're able to make the distinction between 0.86

01:11:44.440 reality and fantasy and as we know the left is completely unable to do those simple tasks

01:11:53.500 all right this is uh i want to talk about mem danny and uh how he's handling crime and

01:12:03.180 Most importantly, violent crime in New York City.

01:12:08.840 How is he doing it?

01:12:10.460 With violence interrupters.

01:12:13.680 Now, the first time I heard about this, it was from another city.

01:12:18.900 Can anyone guess?

01:12:20.680 I wonder where this could be.

01:12:22.620 That's right, Chicago.

01:12:25.880 Mayor Brandon Johnson put in place violence interrupters.

01:12:31.800 uh they are supposed to show up when there's violence and anyone and what are they supposed

01:12:42.400 to that's right bobby interrupt the violence a lot of violence gets interrupted in these cities

01:12:51.200 you fire a bullet someone interrupts the trajectory of the bullet with their body

01:12:58.700 So they do have violence interrupters, but these are different.

01:13:02.600 These are people that they choose from gangs, prison, hardened, violent criminals,

01:13:11.560 and they give them money, your money, taxpayer money,

01:13:17.200 to try to sway the gang members to give up that life of crime

01:13:25.720 and to interrupt the violence that is coming out of these gangs

01:13:31.400 on the streets of New York and Chicago

01:13:33.420 and many of these violent Democrat-run blue cities. 0.61

01:13:39.440 It doesn't work.

01:13:42.340 This is another fantasy world scenario.

01:13:46.700 They get it from Hollywood.

01:13:49.420 Movies where the hardened gang member, right?

01:13:53.600 He's part of a gang.

01:13:54.620 he's ruthless

01:13:56.200 but he's smart

01:13:58.400 and he has a heart

01:13:59.640 that's always the way 0.98

01:14:01.520 they're not the dimwits that you see 0.98

01:14:04.100 when they arrest these people and try them 0.98

01:14:06.540 or you hear them speaking

01:14:07.940 they're clever

01:14:09.580 and street smart

01:14:11.660 and they also have a heart

01:14:13.600 they know right from wrong

01:14:15.400 but the situation, life

01:14:17.360 has put them in a predicament

01:14:20.380 where they know they have to do

01:14:22.260 what they have to do

01:14:23.520 that's the fantasy movie version and then when they uh are are uh they have some tragedy happen

01:14:32.560 usually their mama gets killed or their little brother or something because of gang activity

01:14:39.480 then they flip and they go i'm gonna make a difference i'm gonna use my power as a gang

01:14:47.240 leader to to get rid of this violence it's so hollywood it it's it should be those movies

01:14:57.740 should be under the science fiction or fantasy section of the movies when you're scrolling

01:15:04.660 through netflix because uh reality is a little different uh here we go new york city violence

01:15:15.220 interrupter who was charged with murder twice is now eyed by the nypd in a slashing an ex-con who

01:15:24.620 worked for the new york city anti-violence group is being eyed by cops for slashing a man in the

01:15:30.300 bronx the bronx rises against gun violence worker who was twice charged with murder

01:15:38.200 i don't know how you're walking the streets twice charged with murder allegedly attacked a stranger

01:15:47.620 around 3 p.m may 5th near the uh non-profit's boston road office police sources said police

01:15:56.660 horses no police sources the 38 year old victim told police he was walking to a deli

01:16:03.040 in the East Bronx when a stranger slashed his left cheek and chin.

01:16:07.960 The alleged slasher and the man with him,

01:16:09.960 who also works at the violence interrupter group, ran.

01:16:16.240 Uh-huh.

01:16:18.220 Well, police, when they went to the group's headquarters to investigate,

01:16:22.300 they were told to stay out.

01:16:24.080 We don't work with the police.

01:16:26.180 Someone inside barked.

01:16:28.200 This is an organization that is being paid.

01:16:32.760 They're paid.

01:16:34.360 They're being paid by the city, violence interrupters.

01:16:40.180 Bragg, what is, hold on, let me see what this is.

01:16:44.180 Bronx Rises.

01:16:45.820 Oh, the group was listed as community partners in the city's blueprint to end gun violence.

01:16:51.520 The initiative of former Mayor Eric Adams to prepare a plan of action towards removing guns from New York streets. 1.00

01:16:59.160 What a bunch of crap. 0.99

01:17:00.820 You know what removes guns from New York streets? 1.00

01:17:04.240 Stop, question, and frisk.

01:17:07.160 Under Giuliani, that worked like a charm.

01:17:11.920 Not only were they taking guns off the street,

01:17:14.680 but these thugs, the last thing they wanted was to catch a gun charge

01:17:18.460 or to lose their gun.

01:17:21.400 So if they were just going to go out for an evening stroll,

01:17:25.200 they wouldn't take their gun with them.

01:17:27.240 Cops were looking, just looking, to put someone against the wall and frisk them down.

01:17:36.440 That works.

01:17:39.200 Police source said the incident is an example of just how insane the woke anti-violence nonprofit industry is and how dangerous it is.

01:17:48.160 So someone on the city payroll whose job it is to prevent violence slashed someone in the presence of his coworkers and they all fled together.

01:17:57.240 Said a stunned police horse.

01:18:00.100 No source.

01:18:02.040 It's insane, the source said.

01:18:05.320 It's insane, Wilbur.

01:18:07.660 The 38-year-old victim who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he fears for his safety.

01:18:12.540 Why? I'm sure these are wonderful people that would never harm you.

01:18:15.960 Said he was going to the deli.

01:18:18.020 He just cut me from behind.

01:18:21.180 Yeah.

01:18:23.060 He had a three-inch wound, bled profusely.

01:18:27.240 He is outraged.

01:18:29.240 The attacker is paid with taxpayer funds.

01:18:32.880 It's bad enough.

01:18:35.980 It's bad enough that these people are out on the streets perpetrating these crimes with impunity

01:18:44.340 because we've had mayors, even Mayor Adams, who now looks looks like Giuliani compared to Momdani. 0.59

01:18:54.300 but they were all putting these policies in place anything anything possible instead of doing what

01:19:03.000 needs to be done arrests uh an actual trial by legitimate DAs and judges uh convictions and

01:19:15.600 sentences that matter that's how you stop it not by paying paying murderers this guy is a two-time

01:19:27.080 murderer and they're paying him to go around and slash people in the face unbelievable but uh here's

01:19:36.240 mayor mamdani chit-chatting with a couple of the violence interrupters uh at a little sit down

01:19:43.420 in one of the New York parks at a picnic table, AC6.

01:19:48.060 Let's listen in.

01:19:49.400 I remember somebody got killed in my neighborhood.

01:19:52.720 Killed?

01:19:53.220 When I was young.

01:19:53.980 I got killed. 1.00

01:19:54.720 I dressed up like a Scot. 0.74

01:19:55.800 I was desensitized.

01:19:56.900 It's normal, and that's not good because it's not normal for somebody else to die.

01:20:01.420 It's not normal to take somebody else's life.

01:20:03.960 I got a long list of friends that I lost, and I don't really want to lose any more to that.

01:20:07.500 People out here getting killed at a very young age.

01:20:09.200 Where'd they go?

01:20:09.680 Have you checked under the couch?

01:20:11.460 People went to jail and stuff like that.

01:20:12.760 We need to eradicate gun violence, stop censors gun violence. 0.97

01:20:16.880 Young people want to live.

01:20:18.340 Young people want their community safe, and they're looking forward to it.

01:20:21.420 I've been impacted by gun violence in the streets, and now I'm trying to make a change.

01:20:26.040 I'm trying to rewrite my story.

01:20:27.660 A lot of times you go through these kinds of situations, crises, and you're made to feel like you're the only one who's ever had to experience this.

01:20:35.520 You're made to feel alone.

01:20:36.700 You have to show them that you care.

01:20:38.120 and what we do with new york city crisis management system as you know mr mayor

01:20:41.640 it's unconventional right it's late night conversation it's sacrifices that we make

01:20:46.840 to interrupt violence and i think ultimately at the root of it all mr may it's truly showing

01:20:52.940 young people that you care because the youth are seeking love they're seeking love and they're

01:20:57.920 looking for men and women who come from the same world seeking love to understand what they're

01:21:01.860 going through they're looking for that so they latch on to mentors like myself and all of us

01:21:06.400 across new york city i think you know the work that you do the work that so many cms providers

01:21:12.480 do in and of itself makes clear that this is a crisis across the city you know and there's a lot

01:21:20.040 more the city has to do to actually meet you halfway the violence is brewing up in the winter

01:21:25.480 people are getting into situations all winter long and they wait for the summertime to come

01:21:29.940 outside with a gun or come outside and handle their situation who is he talking about no could

01:21:34.360 you pause that for a minute who is he talking about yeah a lot of situations come up in the

01:21:39.880 winter and then the summer comes up and they go out with a gun who i've never known anyone like

01:21:45.500 this in my life i've never known someone that has built up a beef in the winter and they pull out a

01:21:53.920 gun and go who who are these people i don't i don't know who they're talking about i can in no

01:22:03.220 way shape or form relate to what the hell this guy is talking about it doesn't fit into society

01:22:11.540 the society i grew up in was raised in the rules that people adhere to that we've all agreed to

01:22:20.600 as a society the rules that the police enforce because we've agreed to those rules

01:22:26.280 i've never heard something so insane in my life and if you think a few of the same people

01:22:35.420 the same murderers and thugs and and assault uh the guys slitting someone's face

01:22:42.240 are gonna make that's who's gonna make the difference

01:22:45.680 when when these guys are are doing things that are isn't even conceivable to a normal

01:22:54.340 American citizen

01:22:56.180 you know what works 1.00

01:22:58.720 curfews

01:23:00.320 you know what works

01:23:01.480 cops who will roust

01:23:03.180 these people

01:23:04.580 that are hanging around

01:23:06.140 causing trouble

01:23:07.480 cops that are down

01:23:09.580 in the subways

01:23:10.640 asking

01:23:12.380 what are you doing here

01:23:13.520 what's your business

01:23:14.740 yeah

01:23:15.780 yeah

01:23:16.640 we've gotten to that point

01:23:18.400 oh really Nazi 0.77

01:23:19.900 oh what's next 0.73

01:23:21.860 where are your papers

01:23:22.940 yup

01:23:24.620 How about that?

01:23:25.560 Can I see an ID?

01:23:27.460 Yeah.

01:23:28.100 How about that?

01:23:30.080 Oh, that's not America.

01:23:31.460 You think New York City is America?

01:23:34.020 That's the America we're supposed to be living in? 0.95

01:23:38.300 Where people walk around and get their face slashed or they get raped, robbed, murdered? 0.84

01:23:45.140 You just think that's okay?

01:23:47.160 but doing something about it, like asking people questions,

01:23:52.040 cops asking people questions on the streets

01:23:54.680 and telling them to move along, you can't loiter here,

01:24:01.660 and keeping them moving off of the subway platforms,

01:24:07.560 that's a problem?

01:24:09.520 That's where you draw the line and go, oh, that's oppression.

01:24:12.860 That's fascism.

01:24:14.460 That's Nazis.

01:24:15.300 i'd take that if a cop walked up to me at penn station and said excuse me can i see some id 0.55

01:24:26.640 i go yeah here you go

01:24:30.540 all right have a good evening that's what would happen i kind of go wow that's it's terrible

01:24:39.920 that we've gotten to the point where that's necessary.

01:24:44.060 And if it was being done by some other force

01:24:48.680 that was asking me for ID because of my political ideology,

01:24:52.820 yeah, that's a problem.

01:24:55.040 That's a problem.

01:24:55.980 There are different circumstances where that wouldn't be a good thing,

01:25:00.980 and that would be very unconstitutional.

01:25:04.040 And I would wonder why they need my information for what I believe in.

01:25:07.940 if you're a group of people that are murdering raping robbing assaulting and it's gotten to the

01:25:16.400 epidemic proportions in the city something's got to be done and if it's going back to stop

01:25:23.600 question and frisk so be it gun violence beefs in the winter guns in the summer get out of here

01:25:33.960 it's insane if it's that bad then then the the cure for it the thing you need to do

01:25:44.640 to solve the issue can't be some easy peasy thing like send some other thugs out to 0.98

01:25:52.460 have a little chit chat with the gang members you think they give a crap they probably look

01:25:59.580 at these guys first of all they're in cahoots with them because i know one of the instances i 0.98

01:26:05.760 read about in chicago one of these violence interrupters was using the money he was getting

01:26:12.320 from the city to buy drugs and sell them through uh the gang that he was affiliated with great

01:26:21.580 so they're either in cahoots if they was miraculously would find the unicorn gang member

01:26:28.220 who actually is like ones in the movie.

01:26:33.500 They want to change things and stop the violence.

01:26:38.340 They would mock him and goof on him.

01:26:41.960 You think they'd respect the guy?

01:26:45.020 You got out of the game.

01:26:47.400 I don't need to talk to your aunt.

01:26:49.560 You got out the game. 0.93

01:26:51.880 There'd be a problem.

01:26:54.160 Really.

01:26:55.380 Let's be real here for a second.

01:26:57.980 That's a whole fantasy world they're living in.

01:27:01.380 Law and order, my friends.

01:27:04.960 A billy club, a stop and frisk.

01:27:11.620 That's what we need.

01:27:12.860 It's gotten that bad.

01:27:14.760 Sorry.

01:27:15.740 Something has to be done about it.

01:27:17.180 Back in a minute.

01:27:18.500 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:27:28.100 It's the Anthony Cumia Show, entertaining and informative, on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:27:35.600 The Anthony Cumia Show, Memorial Day weekend.

01:27:40.860 Let's go to Bob in Detroit, Michigan, and more about war movies, Bob?

01:27:47.080 Oh, you know it, Ant. Don Luther from Detroit. How are you?

01:27:50.920 Good, good.

01:27:51.680 Good, man. You've forgotten one of the greatest black-and-white war movies of all time, Sergeant York, fought with Gary Cooper.

01:28:02.020 Gary Cooper. Yeah, I've watched many of those old movies, especially growing up.

01:28:08.240 It was always on at 4.30 in the afternoon. They'd have old movies, and it's all we had, so I'd sit and watch them.

01:28:15.580 I don't think I've ever seen Sergeant York, though.

01:28:18.760 Oh, I tell you what, man. You've got to watch this one.

01:28:21.300 He is credited, I believe, for being the first one to ever say, you've got to get yourself a good piece of bottom land.

01:28:29.620 You know what I'm saying?

01:28:32.680 You know what I always found odd with Sergeant York?

01:28:37.060 The two Darrens on Bewitched was Dick Sargent and Dick York, thus making both their last names put together Sergeant York.

01:28:47.460 Yeah.

01:28:48.060 One was the flame.

01:28:49.620 Thank you.

01:28:51.300 I believe it was Dick Sargent, and the other guy died of emphysema, I believe.

01:28:59.020 Yeah, they smoked like crazy back then.

01:29:02.840 It was what you did.

01:29:04.940 I don't know.

01:29:05.700 They all smoked.

01:29:06.840 There was smoke in the studio.

01:29:08.380 Everything reeked of smoke.

01:29:10.780 Crazy times.

01:29:12.160 I love it.

01:29:12.920 Thanks, Bob.

01:29:13.640 Bob from Detroit, Michigan.

01:29:16.780 Oh, look at this.

01:29:18.040 But L.A., you have a mayoral race going on in Los Angeles,

01:29:25.160 who are really, there's three potential candidates here,

01:29:30.780 but it's really two. 0.97

01:29:31.640 It's Karen Bass. 0.77

01:29:32.960 She's the incumbent Democrat.

01:29:35.100 We all remember her from the Palisades Fire,

01:29:38.880 where she was away vacationing.

01:29:43.360 The fire chief and some of the upper echelon that she was responsible for also did not do their job.

01:29:52.800 And now there's a race to buy up all that burnt up land by government entities and other more nefarious, mysterious entities.

01:30:04.980 So maybe it was all part of the plan.

01:30:06.660 but uh karen bass and spencer pratt spencer pratt uh they're billing him as reality tv personality

01:30:15.980 i guess he was on a show uh he's the republican he surged in the polls by criticizing bass on her

01:30:24.860 fire homelessness crime um uh and outsider appeal they like that he's not one of these

01:30:34.260 inside professional politicians.

01:30:39.080 And then Nithya Rahman,

01:30:42.720 Nithya Rahman,

01:30:46.800 city council member, progressive Democrat.

01:30:49.820 She's on housing justice,

01:30:51.880 former Bass ally turned critic.

01:30:55.980 And it seems like they are the candidates,

01:31:00.100 but it's really Bass and Pratt that are doing this.

01:31:03.020 This is nuts, though.

01:31:04.260 So I checked out how the mayoral election process works in L.A., and it's crazy.

01:31:20.500 It's nonpartisan, so there's no party labels on the ballot.

01:31:25.060 All the candidates are just the candidate.

01:31:27.020 They don't have this candidate, Democrat or Republican, written next to them.

01:31:32.720 uh they appear together on the same ballot voters can participate regardless of their own party

01:31:38.420 affiliation the primary nominating election is june 2nd so that's coming up for this cycle

01:31:45.140 this is uh the first round if any candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote

01:31:50.060 they win they're the mayor you don't have to go any further but that rarely happens because

01:31:56.900 la is crazy and when they have a mayor's race all of these nut jobs come out of the woodwork

01:32:06.060 former c-list actors and actresses uh musicians that you haven't heard from in quite some time

01:32:14.920 and just uh general street entertainers you know the guy that dresses as batman

01:32:21.880 on uh hollywood boulevard will will run for mayor so it's very rare that a candidate will get

01:32:30.240 50 or more of the vote if no one reaches 50 the most common outcome with a crowded field

01:32:36.260 the top two vote getters advance to the general election which is november 3rd so it looks like

01:32:43.760 it's going to be karen bass and spencer pratt uh they seem to be the two leaders of this pratt's

01:32:50.340 picking up momentum uh he seems to be the reasonable one but bass is still in the lead

01:32:59.960 which brings me back to what i was saying earlier how did these mental patients get elected

01:33:07.660 by other mental patients i was having a discussion with a friend about new york uh the gubernatorial

01:33:14.860 race. And it's going to be Kathy Hochul. I would love to see a Republican as governor

01:33:23.300 of New York. It's just not going to happen. I don't know why. It doesn't seem to make

01:33:27.980 any sense when you see an incumbent candidate that has screwed up so badly and they just

01:33:37.920 keep electing the same virtually the same people over and over and over so um this uh this uh

01:33:47.760 pratt guy he had a good gag the other day he was putting stencils on the street on the sidewalks

01:33:53.280 and then power washing on the stencil not using paint or anything and it would be printed out

01:33:59.880 what was on the stencil and it said uh imagine how clean the streets could be

01:34:04.480 if mayor uh bass wasn't mayor um and it's because the sidewalk got so clean in the part of the

01:34:11.980 stencil so uh pretty uh pretty unique a good kind of guerrilla tactic for uh winning an election

01:34:19.340 hopefully but i have no faith in la just like i have no faith in new york all right back in a

01:34:25.140 minute it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:34:35.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:34:44.120 It is the Anthony Cumia Show. Let's go to PA, our good friend Joaquin. What's up, my friend?

01:34:51.560 Good evening, Anthony. You know, I've got to tell you something. This whole thing with the left and the right,

01:34:56.980 unfortunately the left just wants total destruction of the United States of America, of its sovereignty.

01:35:01.400 They want to turn it over to the global international community.

01:35:06.080 And quite frankly, I think that they just seek the destruction of Western civilization 0.87

01:35:09.640 or even the white genocide is the path that they're on. 0.92

01:35:13.500 Because what they've been doing, I mean, the way they twisted American history

01:35:16.640 and this whole issue of slavery, which was the human condition, 0.91

01:35:20.440 and it was white Western Judeo-Christian civilization that put an end to it

01:35:24.080 while it still thrived in other places around the world.

01:35:27.160 and yet somehow, you know, our educational system, our media,

01:35:32.840 and how is it that all the celebrities are all lefties?

01:35:35.700 We really need to stop consuming their products.

01:35:39.200 Yeah, well, it seems like people are.

01:35:42.020 Whether it's because of ideology or the fact that they're putting out stuff

01:35:47.360 that is just horrible these days,

01:35:50.440 they're not making the money they used to in Hollywood.

01:35:55.340 and it really is proof positive that there is a left uh biased uh agenda going on um in the media

01:36:05.000 and you'd be hard pressed to come up with an argument that would convince me that that isn't

01:36:10.840 happening and it isn't um on purpose are we supposed to have anything in common with people

01:36:18.120 on the other side that want you know they really want the destruction of the country

01:36:21.360 that's you know that's the thing that i i find hard to understand you know and unfortunately

01:36:26.560 the problem is is that unless we get hold of the educational system all of the young you know the

01:36:31.600 younger people are being brainwashed to accept this new you know history that they're teaching

01:36:36.500 you know and they're putting them out we never they're they're putting them out the other side 0.99

01:36:41.020 of these schools as complete illiterate morons so they're brainwashing them and then they're not 0.99

01:36:47.440 giving them any of the tools they need to be able to be a productive member of society in life, 1.00

01:36:56.180 earn a living, do anything more than minimum wage jobs where they keep saying, hey, we'll raise your

01:37:03.360 minimum wage for you. The Democrats are always the ones that do that because they've given these

01:37:08.400 people no tools to advance in life any further than a minimum wage job at mcdonald's or fast

01:37:18.380 food place or whatever the that job might be they don't want the younger generation to have

01:37:25.860 the ability to take care of themselves and better yet being awarded the state letting the state

01:37:31.900 support you you know this this this this talk of uh uh what is the the guaranteed wage i forgot

01:37:38.380 the terminology is for it and let's face it that's exactly the point that they want to make

01:37:43.380 everybody subservient to their globalist agenda you know and that they want to somehow rule the 1.00

01:37:48.700 world but yet people are too stupid to understand freedom and to really appreciate it yeah they 1.00

01:37:53.420 they pump their heads full of nonsense you see it in in uh high schools and uh even elementary 1.00

01:38:00.140 schools but high schools and colleges i watched the clip the other day and they were asking these

01:38:07.100 young women these college graduates they had just graduated what their degree was in what they

01:38:13.840 spent four years to come out the other side of college what was on that diploma they were holding

01:38:19.720 and none of it was anything useful anything that is in demand today that they could go out

01:38:28.380 with a resume and get a good job or a job that has advancement,

01:38:35.460 they are all going to be working for minimum wage

01:38:39.680 so Democrats can tell them, hey, vote for us. 1.00

01:38:44.100 We'll give you more money, more minimum wage, 0.68

01:38:47.300 like sprinkling the fish food in the fish tank,

01:38:50.000 and they come up to the top.

01:38:51.680 That's exactly what they want. 1.00

01:38:54.220 Dummies that can't take care of themselves 0.95

01:38:57.260 that are so dependent on the government that they'll keep voting for them amen that's the 0.98

01:39:06.440 whole truth of the matter and you know and again until we somehow manage to you know get into the

01:39:12.560 educational system and to really start teaching american history and you know the true american

01:39:18.500 history yeah true history of the world that this brainwashing is just going to continue and 0.60

01:39:23.660 And the other thing, too, is that, unfortunately, the only reason why the left hates Trump is because they hate America.

01:39:29.280 Trump is a representation of, you know, classical sovereign America.

01:39:33.220 Yeah, I mean, obviously, because everyone thinks if you support Trump, you think he's perfect, you think he's a miracle, everything he does is amazing.

01:39:43.680 That's not the case.

01:39:45.500 Every president has had his good points and his bad points.

01:39:49.640 He's been more patriotic or less patriotic.

01:39:53.660 But, yeah, Trump does believe in America.

01:39:57.320 I think he loves this country.

01:39:59.180 And he is narcissistic enough to want to have done a good job for the country as president.

01:40:07.500 The end justifies the means.

01:40:09.040 If he's a sincere, wonderful guy who just wants to make the country better, or if he's so self-centered he just wants history to look at him as a great president, I don't care which one it is.

01:40:20.340 The end justifies the means.

01:40:22.040 If we're in a better place after his tenure as president, then who cares why he did it?

01:40:31.340 Exactly.

01:40:32.100 Thank you.

01:40:32.700 I'm just afraid of who's going to come after Trump, if they're going to be strong enough to fill his shoes.

01:40:36.760 You know, I think we're going to need even stronger than Trump.

01:40:39.120 I have to think it's J.D.

01:40:41.460 I have to think, Vance, the incumbent vice president always gets the nod.

01:40:49.020 uh but here's my problem my problem is this we have when they said when they're talking about

01:40:54.940 trump the standards as a dream ticket and everyone said you can't have two alpha males you know

01:40:59.120 occupying the offices at the same time right and what does that make jd vance yeah but uh people

01:41:06.840 don't like him i know that but he he's very sharp he's very good at debating um uh and and remember

01:41:15.280 people said george hw bush was they called him um a wimp when he was uh reagan's vice president

01:41:23.660 and then he got into office and you saw no he's a former cia guy that you call him a wimp he'll

01:41:31.860 he'll dump some uh b-52 payloads on you uh so you never know until they actually step up to the big

01:41:39.420 see what they're going to be like that's what i think anyway joaquin i gotta move on or people

01:41:45.920 say i spend too much time on the phones thank you joaquin i do appreciate his calls he's uh he's

01:41:53.820 always good oh we got uh mayor johnson i said i was going to speak about chicago mayor johnson

01:42:01.320 a little earlier in the show and here we are he uh he seems to be of the school of thought that

01:42:08.600 You cannot arrest your way to safety in these big cities.

01:42:14.720 Anything else, he does that violence interruption thing, violence interrupters.

01:42:22.260 I think he innovated it, or at least Chicago did, maybe under that Lori Lightfoot disaster.

01:42:29.340 uh but he thinks that you have to do anything anything else but arrest these people these

01:42:40.960 criminals for committing crimes violent crimes uh anything else please don't make me do what 0.53

01:42:48.520 needs to be done to make chicago safe because again it's a race thing he's as racist as any

01:42:56.800 white racist would be if they put so much credence in skin color when they did what did their job

01:43:06.220 did what they were supposed to be doing every consideration that mayor johnson makes in chicago 0.89

01:43:14.100 he's making based on his skin color and how it will affect his perception or or how he is perceived

01:43:25.000 uh if he makes a decision that seems to be a little too much a little too critical

01:43:32.520 of other people of color then they'll look at him like oh what's the matter you're you're not one of

01:43:39.760 us uh which is unbelievably racist but if you've watched this guy's career all the decisions he's

01:43:50.200 making is based on the color of skin racism here he is uh this clip is ac5 talking about how you

01:43:59.660 can arrest your way out of uh arrest your way to safety let's listen let me be absolutely clear

01:44:06.200 remember when we had multiple arrests at a at a gathering and then another gathering

01:44:12.200 happened the following week could you pause

01:44:13.920 multiple arrests at a gathering i've been to gatherings where no arrests have happened

01:44:24.140 you would look around and go the last thing that will happen at this gathering is an arrest

01:44:31.780 everyone's having fun they're they've gathered they're talking to each other sharing whatever

01:44:37.540 it is these are not gatherings these are riots complete with assaults vandalism arson and

01:44:51.820 sometimes murder that's not a gathering i don't care what he thinks but again he was questioned

01:45:01.380 by the media about his terminology with this he insists on not calling them a gang a mob

01:45:09.100 a group it's a gathering we're all having a great time here as they it looks like thunderdome

01:45:19.740 it it looks like a scene out of a post-apocalyptic movie

01:45:26.680 and he wants to call it a gathering that right there got me all right continue

01:45:34.420 gathering and then another gathering happened the following week

01:45:38.780 if we believe that we can arrest our way towards safety we're wrong

01:45:42.880 we ask police officers to do too much what do too much you're not letting them do enough

01:45:52.500 ask them to do too much you're not letting them do enough we had arrests at a gathering

01:45:59.920 at a couple of gatherings and then the next week there was another gathering so obviously arrests

01:46:06.520 don't work really how about you arrest a hell of a lot more of them and you don't just let them out

01:46:15.200 there you go now you're arresting your way to safety you're taking them off the streets

01:46:22.580 and and you're putting a message out there that this is not going to be tolerated anymore

01:46:30.060 but no he he had a gathering the police are told not to be hands-on

01:46:38.120 to use kid gloves at these gatherings and then this is what you get oh we arrested a couple of

01:46:47.220 people oh did you and where did the rest of them go they went home they laughed and then they said

01:46:54.600 that was fun let's do that again maybe if some heads got cracked maybe if some uh police were

01:47:02.320 able to actually throw them on the ground, cuff them, toss them in giant vans where they're

01:47:09.480 stacked up to the roof and then put them in jail for a while, maybe, maybe that might

01:47:16.820 work, but he's not willing to do that because he's racist.

01:47:20.940 All right, back in a minute.

01:47:23.920 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:47:32.720 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:47:38.960 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:47:41.800 And we're talking about, of course, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson

01:47:45.940 and his epic failure at making Chicago safe

01:47:52.040 for the productive, tax-paying, peaceful citizens

01:47:56.820 that want to work, they want to raise a family,

01:47:59.940 They want to live. They want to be able to drive and park their car without coming back and having the car either smashed windows and everything gone from it or the whole car's gone.

01:48:10.940 Or maybe you're lucky enough to come up on the people when they're stealing your car at that moment.

01:48:16.940 So you could be dragged down the street, shot, beat over the head, whatever it is.

01:48:22.500 And then those poor, underprivileged people that were stealing the car go to court and no one wants to do anything because it's terrible, because they've lived a horrible life.

01:48:34.780 They grew up hungry and cold and well, they pulled Brandon Johnson on the carpet before Congress recently.

01:48:46.780 recently and texas uh congressman brandon gill this guy's a hoot he starts questioning

01:48:54.680 brandon johnson and just from the answers that they when liberal democrats sit there and i know

01:49:01.820 believe me when republicans are in front of uh a democratic um hearing uh i know they they

01:49:11.160 hem and haw and come up with uh ways to evade questions but i've never seen such easy simple

01:49:20.880 common sense yes or no questions that they will evade to no end and this makes brandon johnson

01:49:30.240 look terrible he will not answer something that i can't imagine any constituent wouldn't want him

01:49:36.720 to answer with what they feel is the proper response.

01:49:42.980 But watch as Brandon Gill talks to Brandon Johnson.

01:49:47.980 Or listen, AC1. 0.99

01:49:50.740 Support allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses. 0.99

01:49:55.420 Is this yes or no? 0.99

01:50:00.920 So the city of Chicago has been a welcoming city for over 40 years?

01:50:04.360 I'll take that as a yes.

01:50:05.660 And that's the policy that we will hold to. 0.93

01:50:08.280 Do you support tax dollars subsidizing or paying for the health care of illegal aliens?

01:50:14.480 I support investments in all residents of the people of Chicago, and that's what I do.

01:50:17.920 That's a yes as well. 0.97

01:50:19.760 Do you support free or reduced college for illegal aliens?

01:50:24.600 Again, I support the investments of all residents of the people of Chicago.

01:50:28.120 That is a yes.

01:50:29.260 Next question. 0.89

01:50:29.940 Do you support allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections?

01:50:35.240 Again, I'm not over the jurisdiction of that type of law, but again, I'm committed to investing in all residents of the people of Chicago.

01:50:42.920 I'll take that as a yes.

01:50:43.660 I've got an article from the Chicago Sun-Times, and I'll quote here briefly.

01:50:48.160 Johnson proposed, among other things, that all residents, regardless of citizenship status, be able to vote for Chicago Board of Education members.

01:50:57.700 Next question.

01:50:58.540 Your website states, and this is your campaign website, quote,

01:51:02.280 I will not stop fighting until abortion access is completely secure for people all over the country, end quote.

01:51:09.720 Yes or no, do you support taxpayer-funded abortions for illegal aliens?

01:51:15.200 I support the reproductive rights of all people, all women.

01:51:18.140 That is a yes as well.

01:51:20.020 Your mayoral transition website mentions support for creating a Chicago Board of Education non-citizen advisory board. 0.94

01:51:27.680 Again, yes or no, do you support appointing non-citizens to government advisory boards?

01:51:34.060 I was invited here today to discuss welcoming cities.

01:51:36.560 Yes or no?

01:51:37.560 I was invited here to discuss welcoming cities.

01:51:39.680 This is a yes or no question.

01:51:40.300 If you're interested in asking questions about the welcoming city, I'm happy to answer those questions.

01:51:45.460 No, we're going to move on.

01:51:47.740 Welcoming cities.

01:51:49.360 I'm here to talk about welcoming cities.

01:51:51.400 Who are they welcoming? 1.00

01:51:52.760 Apparently, illegal aliens. 0.98

01:51:54.640 with the government wallets open, packed with taxpayer money.

01:52:00.680 That's what welcoming cities mean.

01:52:03.980 What person, what citizen of Chicago voted for this guy

01:52:10.560 and is happy that he is fine with your money,

01:52:15.760 your hard-earned money, going to illegal aliens,

01:52:20.620 just tossing them money.

01:52:24.540 I can't imagine, but it's there.

01:52:27.680 They exist.

01:52:29.480 They're real people.

01:52:31.080 And they'd go into that voting booth tomorrow

01:52:33.620 and pull that lever for Brandon Johnson,

01:52:36.920 for all the good he's doing Chicago. 0.98

01:52:40.200 As the illegals get your money, 0.63

01:52:42.660 as the bodies of their young people pile up like cordwood,

01:52:47.460 that's Brandon Johnson.

01:52:50.620 Unbelievable, totally believable.

01:52:53.940 That's what's going on.

01:52:56.220 How?

01:52:57.540 How do you not get mad and want to recall his mayorship?

01:53:07.120 Don't they do that?

01:53:08.120 Can't you get a petition signed?

01:53:11.600 They did it in L.A. once.

01:53:13.800 And just say, yeah, we saw what this guy's doing.

01:53:17.460 More people are dying.

01:53:18.940 Public transportation, you can't take it.

01:53:21.560 Private transportation, you can't take it.

01:53:24.180 They're breaking into your cars.

01:53:25.580 They're carjacking you.

01:53:27.520 And this guy's too worried about how he'll look to his community,

01:53:33.980 to the people of color in Chicago,

01:53:36.120 if he actually raises a single finger to do anything

01:53:41.220 that would make a group of people of color look like

01:53:46.520 there's a disproportionate amount of crime going on in that community so he will steer clear of that 0.97

01:53:53.380 to no end to the sacrifice literal sacrifice of lives of the people of chicago that's not as

01:54:02.260 important to him as coming off looking good to his um community of color that's a racist

01:54:10.080 and uh great job by uh brandon gill texas congressman although look the other side of

01:54:18.640 the coin is nothing gets done it's a good show i love watching the congressional hearing show 1.00

01:54:26.260 they get up there they crap all over the other person they make them look stupid 1.00

01:54:31.360 they make them look like the criminals they are a lot of times the the they perjure themselves 1.00

01:54:37.360 they implicate themselves and and then you go oh what happened with that oh absolutely nothing

01:54:45.420 nothing happens so brandon johnson will continue to give away your money to illegals and not do

01:54:55.220 anything about the problems they have in chicago uh because nothing gets done nothing there's no

01:55:03.400 consequence there's no repercussions like the judges i mean that's one of the biggest complaints

01:55:09.860 i have in this country it's got to be one of the biggest complaints i have in this country about

01:55:14.920 how things work or don't work is that there is zero consequence for a judge that makes a terrible

01:55:24.100 decision after they've had conferences with people that tell them do not do this do not let that

01:55:31.140 person go they are a danger to the public and they make the decision to let them go like that

01:55:39.300 judge i'm taking a big chance on you and i'm like who's you're not taking a chance you're making the 0.99

01:55:48.120 public take a chance on that person by letting him go it's no skin off your ass that's what happens 0.97

01:55:57.700 there's no consequence if they had a vested interest in every one of these people that they 0.98

01:56:03.360 release that they could lock up but they choose to release i'm not talking about laws that say

01:56:11.460 the judge has to release them those have to be relitigated and and laws have to be put in place

01:56:18.160 or changed i'm talking about a judge that has an opportunity to keep this guy locked up

01:56:24.820 or let him go and what do you do what do you do you leave him there you let him go out

01:56:35.240 all right back in a flash it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:00:12.680 every now and then i'm a baby boomer yep figured that one out uh this is uh well kind of same same

02:00:25.440 vein as we were touching on touching a vein same vein we were touching on with the the congressman

02:00:33.460 talking about

02:00:35.980 Brandon Johnson. This is

02:00:38.120 Vice President J.D. Vance

02:00:40.400 and he's

02:00:42.400 setting the press straight

02:00:43.700 about violence against law

02:00:46.100 enforcement and ICE agents.

02:00:49.400 These

02:00:49.820 weaselly reporters

02:00:52.180 for these left-wing

02:00:54.000 propaganda papers and

02:00:56.240 news stations,

02:00:59.080 they

02:00:59.440 have to try to get 0.89

02:01:01.960 the gotcha moment and they lie they are habitual liars and uh they try to get one of them tries

02:01:12.500 to get jd vance with um of course the ice shootings you know uh the two people that were 0.65

02:01:20.400 killed by ice agents yeah one was trying to run over ice agents with her vehicle

02:01:26.660 and the other one had a gun on him uh and then uh you heard a shot go off they knew he had a gun

02:01:36.100 the guy was summarily dispatched that's going to be looked into i'm sure they're investigating it

02:01:42.480 as we speak but my point is you don't go to um and put yourself in a situation

02:01:49.700 where you are fighting with the police when you have a gun on you you do not do it i've heard

02:01:58.340 everything about that situation oh he didn't pull the gun out another ice agent took the gun from

02:02:04.600 him when they saw his shirt go up and saw that he had a gun uh first of all how do you know he just

02:02:11.820 has one gun secondly what are you doing you have a gun on you and you're now in a physical

02:02:19.600 confrontation with the police you're looking to get killed you're looking to get killed so um

02:02:27.260 this uh reporter this journalist tries to uh get jd and jd just puts him in his place

02:02:36.540 vance is very good at this vance you will not be able to find a clip of vance getting tripped up

02:02:44.080 when someone asks him a question he is able to respond and uh he does a great job here's vance

02:02:51.080 setting this dope straight ac7 if everything you say is true how does being part of that network

02:03:00.820 justify being shot well being part of the network doesn't justify being shot but ramming an ice

02:03:08.420 officer with your car that's what justifies being shot it's not a good thing by the way but when you

02:03:13.160 force somebody to engage in self-defense, it's almost a preposterous question. I'm not saying

02:03:18.540 that funding some of this stuff justifies capital punishment. Nobody would suggest that. The reason

02:03:25.160 this woman is dead is because she tried to ram somebody with her car and that guy acted in

02:03:30.080 self-defense. That is why she lost her life. And that is the tragedy. Now, there may be other

02:03:35.960 violations of the law and other penalties that are associated with those violations of the law.

02:03:41.880 For example, if you are funding violence against our law enforcement officers, I'm not a prosecutor.

02:03:48.220 My guess is that's not the sort of thing that earns capital punishment, but it should sure as hell earn you a few years in prison if you're funding the effort to try to insult our law enforcement officers.

02:03:58.340 I'm sorry, guys.

02:03:59.800 What's going on here?

02:04:01.300 You guys are meant to report the truth.

02:04:04.320 How have you let yourself become agents of propaganda of a radical fringe that's making it harder for us to enforce our laws?

02:04:11.880 You just asked me a question that presumed that the reason why this woman died

02:04:16.700 is because she was engaged in legitimate protest.

02:04:19.260 She tried to run somebody over with her car, and the guy defended himself when that happened.

02:04:22.940 Next question.

02:04:24.960 Next question.

02:04:26.960 I'm done with you.

02:04:29.340 That's great. 0.99

02:04:31.360 He was not emotional, concise, factual with this clown. 0.96

02:04:39.100 And he's talking about, you know, the organization. 0.95

02:04:41.120 There are organizations, people that directly finance these groups

02:04:48.900 that go out there and harass law enforcement.

02:04:54.840 And some of those circumstances have resulted in people getting killed.

02:05:01.360 Law enforcement, too, getting killed.

02:05:05.220 And Vance brings up a great point.

02:05:07.060 Just being part of an organization that finances protests, you're financing riots, doesn't earn you a death sentence.

02:05:21.920 That's what he's saying. 1.00

02:05:22.900 Yeah, you're part of an organization that pays money to print up the signs and get the word out to these mutants and pay some of them money to go out there and act like idiots. 1.00

02:05:35.060 uh that in and of itself doesn't mean that you should be shot and killed or you should be put 0.99

02:05:43.220 in jail but if you're financing organizations that are directly interfering and causing trouble

02:05:51.440 with law enforcement making it impossible for them to do their jobs yeah jail arrest them

02:05:59.400 jail them that's not freedom of speech they want to say oh he's financing a protest what a person

02:06:07.460 can't get the word out there and and ask people to uh go around and and protest a certain

02:06:14.760 uh topic or issue or what yeah that's fine there's a difference people don't want to see

02:06:23.640 the difference between that and someone like soros that is financing violence those those

02:06:33.500 protests are not protests i don't care what cnn says they're not mostly peaceful protests

02:06:40.140 they are riots and people are getting hurt and killed and there's billions of dollars

02:06:47.700 in uh in damage that was done as a matter of fact we have the lovely um sunny hostin

02:06:57.620 the lovely sunny hostin from the view and um she was talking about the difference between

02:07:07.720 black lives matter riots of 2020 of course for her they're uh protests these are just people

02:07:15.920 protesting peacefully protesting and the insurrectionists of january 6th the traitorous 0.99

02:07:24.840 scum that were arrested for maybe trespassing they were allowed in by the police 0.96

02:07:31.280 oh there was some property damage broken window someone stole of nancy pelosi's podium 0.97

02:07:39.020 uh that merits 20 30 40 years in prison and thank god trump pardoned these political prisoners

02:07:49.640 and then what happened i didn't hear anything about any sentences of the people that were

02:07:57.100 responsible for the damage done the assaults the murders that took place during the george floyd

02:08:04.460 riots um but who am i uh sunny hostin has a different take and we should listen to sunny

02:08:15.800 hostin here she is i just i just think we need to make it clear that there can be no comparison

02:08:21.980 between uh the black lives matter movement and what we saw on january 6th i just want to make

02:08:26.800 that clear no comparison i know that wasn't your suggestion but you know people that watch our show

02:08:34.540 take away different things so i just want to make that part clear um there there were very

02:08:38.800 uh limited um destruction of property and and and violence during during the uprising

02:08:44.800 the black lives and no threats to the president

02:08:47.920 It was probably just a grand property damage, but we don't need to relocate six years ago.

02:08:53.520 Does she remember, I guess not, in Washington, D.C.,

02:08:59.160 when they torched a church that was walking distance to the White House,

02:09:05.580 where Secret Service had to set up a perimeter around the White House

02:09:09.340 because rioters were advancing on the White House?

02:09:15.140 Now, you know, obviously they wouldn't get in.

02:09:17.920 there are safeguards, but that's not for a lack of trying.

02:09:23.320 There wasn't much destruction of property.

02:09:27.560 Billions.

02:09:28.820 The number was in billions.

02:09:32.200 That was lost during the George Floyd riots, 0.89

02:09:37.520 the Black Lives Matter riots. 0.98

02:09:41.920 Was the Capitol in flames?

02:09:45.600 Were there dead bodies in the Capitol?

02:09:47.920 besides the one that was shot by a Capitol policeman?

02:09:55.860 What dimension, what alternate reality did she live in 1.00

02:10:05.420 where she could get on her dumbass show and spout that blatant lie? 1.00

02:10:13.580 Not much damage during the Black Lives Matter uprising. 1.00

02:10:17.920 it was a riot a riot there was a security guard there's a cop for years retired he decided to

02:10:28.080 do security at a store he bled out on a sidewalk not much damage that's nothing sunny

02:10:38.740 oh god and i know i shouldn't put so much into what the gals of the view are saying

02:10:46.200 But it's the hypocrisy that really gets me.

02:10:52.240 They will go off on January 6th and those people that went there to protest, to show they weren't happy with the election results.

02:11:05.820 And that was it.

02:11:07.740 There was a million people.

02:11:10.040 There were a million people there.

02:11:12.500 and that you could say the damage wasn't um that bad because it wasn't as far as loss of life at

02:11:23.400 the hands of the capitol police damage was bad it was really bad that was terrible

02:11:29.640 but there's no comparison i'll agree there is no comparison between january 6th

02:11:36.100 And the riots for George Floyd by Black Lives Matter.

02:11:42.560 Yeah, no comparison. 0.96

02:11:44.640 The Black Lives Matter riots were way worse, did way more damage. 0.99

02:11:51.140 Way more damage to this day. 0.97

02:11:53.800 Socially, the damage was done.

02:11:56.980 That really got people to believe that they could do anything they want with complete impunity.

02:12:03.100 No consequence.

02:12:04.380 I could burn down a city. 1.00

02:12:07.160 We could kill people. 1.00

02:12:09.000 We can loot, rape, rob with impunity. 0.99

02:12:13.920 That just emboldened people more and more.

02:12:18.500 We're still dealing with that lack of consequence from the George Floyd riots.

02:12:24.720 What are we dealing with with January 6th?

02:12:27.720 people are scared out of their pants to speak their mind about the government

02:12:38.100 when the Democrats are in power.

02:12:42.360 That's what their goal was.

02:12:44.540 We don't like dissension in the ranks.

02:12:47.300 Put them in prison for 30 years.

02:12:50.840 Call it an insurrection.

02:12:52.360 Call it treason.

02:12:53.260 Whatever you've got to call it.

02:12:54.940 We don't want them protesting.

02:12:57.720 We don't want them calling us out on our lies and schemes and fraud.

02:13:03.480 So that damage is that you've squashed the people's freedom of speech

02:13:12.320 through intimidation and threats.

02:13:17.060 Look what we did to them.

02:13:18.360 What chance do you think you got?

02:13:20.180 Can you spare 30 years in prison?

02:13:21.960 Go ahead.

02:13:22.680 Tell us we lied.

02:13:24.100 Tell us we cheated.

02:13:24.920 See what happens to you.

02:13:26.560 that's the result of january 6th and the result of the george floyd blm riots more riots

02:13:34.380 more looting thievery because nothing happened there was zero consequence so yeah sunny big

02:13:44.920 difference you're absolutely right we finally agree with each other isn't that great 0.91

02:13:51.200 ah the gals from the view i bet there isn't one egg in all those women that could possibly be 1.00

02:14:02.520 fertilized they got to look like raisins at this point bunch of hags spouting off 0.98

02:14:09.240 yuck can't i just can't yeah what am i talking about oh la um la addresses it's a homeless 0.83

02:14:21.620 epidemic oh we got to go to break soon oh my goodness gracious i will talk about it after

02:14:27.620 the break but uh just to as a preface um there there is a homeless problem in la everyone knows

02:14:35.120 about it and this is why um mayor bass is having such a problem with this mayoral race because

02:14:41.720 uh it's under her watch and it is so bad it looks like again post-apocalyptic movie

02:14:52.360 these homeless encampments when did this happen i remember when i was in california kids let me

02:15:00.060 tell you about the old days it was still part of mexico mexico at the time but uh there were

02:15:08.300 occasionally you'd see a tent under a bridge or a a plywood and tin shack off one of the riverbeds

02:15:18.400 and some mexicans lived in there and you're like you knew exactly where each one was 0.93

02:15:23.560 now what do you got it's encampments acres and acres of mental patients filthy drug addled 0.79

02:15:35.900 and uh they don't seem to care bass doesn't she's the mayor it's her watch and the cops

02:15:44.760 they get frustrated because they're told not to do anything about it uh we have a clip that

02:15:49.680 We'll play after the break.

02:15:51.500 Stick around.

02:15:53.800 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:16:12.180 The Anthony Cumia Show.

02:16:14.400 and uh all right we'll take one more about the movies that we started uh earlier in the show

02:16:21.100 of course the top 10 list i did about the top 10 movies to watch on memorial day war movies

02:16:27.780 and uh we have bernie from staten island i'm bernie what's up

02:16:31.980 The movie I'm speaking about shows how a person is badly wounded in the First World War,

02:16:45.000 and he and his wife are horribly troubled by the thought that their son now wants to go to war in the Second World War.

02:16:57.140 It's not a famous movie, but it's very, very affecting.

02:17:01.980 I hear the show in the background.

02:17:04.620 It's a little distracting there, Bernie.

02:17:06.780 But wasn't that the miniseries The Pacific?

02:17:14.160 No, no, no.

02:17:15.960 Because that was kind of the same thing.

02:17:17.500 The father, wait, I know what you're talking about,

02:17:20.140 but that's kind of the same thing.

02:17:21.320 The father was World War I vet.

02:17:23.400 He didn't want his son to enlist.

02:17:26.780 The son had a heart murmur, but he kind of fudged the medical thing

02:17:31.600 and got in um that's the one but i i know the one you're talking about too i just can't place the

02:17:38.380 name but that was a good movie there bernie it was the movie was shown at the end of the first

02:17:45.020 second world war i saw it in 1944 with my mother oh it's an old movie excuse me what it's an old

02:17:55.300 movie then okay yeah the uh the wife doesn't is horribly stricken by the thought her son will go

02:18:23.460 No, not at all.

02:18:25.020 No? Okay, I got it all wrong.

02:18:27.020 I have it all wrong, Bernie.

02:18:28.800 I apologize, but I got to move on.

02:18:32.160 Thank you for the call.

02:18:34.180 I'm just totally wrong with that one.

02:18:35.900 Everything I said.

02:18:36.860 Oh, that one? No.

02:18:38.940 Oh, is it the movie with the guy?

02:18:40.680 No.

02:18:41.820 All right, Bernie.

02:18:43.240 All right.

02:18:43.980 I apologize.

02:18:45.820 I apologize.

02:18:47.440 Yeah, the homeless problem.

02:18:48.700 L.A., homeless problem, mayoral race coming up.

02:18:53.460 June 2nd, you get to vote for Pratt or Bass, for the most part.

02:19:03.060 There's a bunch of people out there.

02:19:04.320 But the top, the leaders, the first place and second place candidate,

02:19:09.700 that's who gets to go to the runoff in November.

02:19:14.080 And with L.A. and the situation it's in, especially with the homeless,

02:19:18.940 Homeless brings drugs, violent crime, disease.

02:19:25.860 It's not a good thing.

02:19:28.820 And Bass needs to take responsibility for this. 1.00

02:19:33.060 If she doesn't want to take responsibility herself, the voters should make her take responsibility by voting for Pratt.

02:19:41.920 Listen to this.

02:19:43.200 This is a little piece on the L.A. homeless problem.

02:19:47.280 the lapd working to counter what they call a health and safety hazard officers they were

02:19:53.540 called to a homeless encampment just west of downtown la items were blocking the sidewalk

02:19:57.720 and the encampment was crawling with rats officers made several this video is disgusting

02:20:03.300 officers say encampments like this are dangerous because they make it impossible for people to use

02:20:09.380 the sidewalk safely especially people with disabilities yeah that's what's going on

02:20:17.300 they are in encampments not one or two people it's it's not it it's like it's like the great 1.00

02:20:25.500 depression where you drive down a highway and there'd be a dirt road and you'd see these shanties

02:20:31.320 and a big gathering of people, gathering, mayor,

02:20:36.660 would get together and kind of help each other out.

02:20:41.320 That was what it was like in the old days

02:20:44.120 when it was people that did work.

02:20:47.800 They were farmers, families, and they all united,

02:20:54.060 combined their resources, made a little shantytown.

02:20:58.160 and uh that was during the depression it was necessary they had to do that and they were

02:21:05.000 still a community now you have people in a very wealthy nation that has is very charitable 0.97

02:21:14.860 but these people are insane like i said earlier these people are mental patients

02:21:21.000 homeless aren't just they didn't just fall through the cracks again it's not a fantasy 0.97

02:21:26.820 movie scene uh it's these are mentally disturbed people and they need the help that only an

02:21:38.600 institution can give them uh moving them away like oh we'll we'll mow down this homeless encampment 0.79

02:21:48.260 and uh move them along where are they going to go they're just going to go and set up another one

02:21:54.180 it's a temporary not even a temporary fix it's a a fix that just displaces the problem

02:22:01.160 and with it creates problems for people that aren't even homeless and in that encampment rats

02:22:08.940 disease um and crime you know they take little little trips at night they take a little walk

02:22:18.360 about at night and maybe come up to your yard or your house and uh these things are happening man

02:22:24.960 these things are happening and if you're voting for mayor in los angeles and you vote for that 0.84
