00:06:48.220if if they're uh uh carmelo anthony is black i'm black i have to support him
00:06:55.940regardless of what i'm seeing as far as evidence goes witness testimony anything
00:07:01.540and um that's just crazy to me especially when a case has this much exposure and we're getting
00:07:11.120the information i'm a little pissed that we're not getting cameras in the courtroom i think
00:07:17.900That's really important, especially when you have a case like this that's so incendiary and people are taking sides and threatening that if this happens or if that happens, there's going to be problems.
00:07:36.460I really think the best way to at least try to remedy that by getting facts out there is to let people see exactly what's happening in the courtroom.
00:07:51.580Because another thing I'm seeing on social media are, you know, journalists that have taken to putting their opinion out there.
00:08:01.520They're editorializing, they're lying, they're using rumor, innuendo, complete fallacy,
00:08:10.420and reporting that as what's going on in the trial.
00:11:33.900Carmelo Anthony wanted to sit down in the tent that was dedicated to the high school that Austin Metcalf and his buddies and his brother went to.
00:23:53.540the defense will continue with their case the prosecution has rested this trial just zipping
00:24:01.780by really quick i was amazed that the prosecution rested so quickly but they put up 21 witnesses
00:24:09.480and i think they got their point across the witnesses were very consistent in what was said
00:24:15.980And what the witnesses said really wasn't had not even an inkling that self-defense is is something that the defense could pull off here in this case.
00:24:31.640It's just nothing that these defense prosecution witnesses said would let you believe that self-defense was the reason he stabbed Austin Metcalf.
00:26:31.560You keep saying the word tent, and everybody keeps thinking it's a tent,
00:26:35.300But when you play track in high school, the tent is the de facto locker room for kids to take off their sneakers, put their sneakers, phone, wallet, everything.
00:26:50.060So the fact that Carmelo came over there to basically inject himself into another team's locker room is no different than if you went to Madison Square Garden tomorrow night and you tried to get into the Knicks locker room, right?
00:27:04.340it's crazy yeah these the that's what i've been reading too these tents are kind of you know it's
00:27:11.880your area for your team your guys this is something you know sports very competitive
00:27:17.560and uh you like being with your teammates and with your supporters uh and walking into just
00:27:26.600another tent isn't just like they were set up so that if you're walking around and it's raining
00:27:31.340you could get shelter underneath it these are like you said they they leave their uh backpacks
00:27:37.360there they leave any valuables they have they know that their buddies are in there and nothing's
00:27:41.460going to happen to it so this isn't just like oh can i get under this umbrella while it's raining
00:27:46.720and uh he just decided to walk up yeah that is an issue uh that they're trying to make more
00:27:53.280important you totally nailed that you totally nailed that and i'm sorry i'm a little nervous
00:27:57.620But I also was a volunteer high school track and field coach, which is why Austin Metcalf was there.
00:28:08.440Like, if you read the testimony, the track and field coach wanted him to be here, be there because he was a pillar of the community.
00:28:16.520right it was for he was kind of the leader leadership uh qualities and the coach wanted
00:28:22.000him to uh take the reins and you know make sure um everything went the way it's supposed to yep
00:28:28.360and speaking of pillars of the community it's a shame that gavin mcginnis can't drink in 2026
00:28:34.760let's go free gavin free gavin i gotcha
00:28:39.040uh yeah you know a lot is being made of the tent and did carmelo have permission to go into the
00:28:51.700tent did uh austin metcalf have authority to tell him to leave the tent these are questions that are
00:29:00.060coming up but they don't really they're peripheral questions they seem like a distraction to the
00:29:08.400actual self-defense case this isn't a trespass case it's in a case like oh uh carmelo anthony
00:29:19.960walked into our tent so we want him arrested for trespassing on our property uh there are some
00:29:26.940relevant uh there is some relevance to him walking into that tent and whether he was allowed to or
00:29:35.380not and whether um austin and company were authorized to tell him he couldn't be in there
00:29:41.460it does but the bottom line here this is the bottom line in a self-defense case you need to
00:29:50.200prove that at that moment a reasonable person could assume that their life was in imminent
00:29:59.960danger before they can then return with deadly physical force a knife to the chest like carmelo
00:30:10.500anthony uh did to um austin metcalf uh how he got there where he was sitting who said what to him
00:30:21.760did austin put his hands on did he push him did he touch him did he shove him did he okay
00:30:28.260would a reasonable person believe that was life-threatening i see nothing to indicate that
00:30:38.820in what has been uh put forth so far in that case nothing so let him argue about the tent and this
00:30:48.160and that it's a distraction it's to confuse jurors is another thing when you don't have a case you
00:30:54.440need to muck up the works and get that jury to uh consider something else than the important
00:31:04.320element of this case self-defense get him to consider oh they shouldn't have told
00:31:10.500Carmelo to leave the tent if you get a jury that's arguing over oh god they shouldn't know
00:31:18.320see Austin was wrong there because he had no authority to tell him that's what the defense
00:31:24.200wants they want that jury yapping uh about that and i just hope there's some sensible people on
00:31:32.880the jury that'll turn around and go hey hey hey concentrate here's the issue
00:31:38.800would you have felt your life was being threatened in danger of being taken away
00:31:45.960to the point where you would have responded with deadly physical force based on
00:31:50.560what they said happened to carmelo under that tent would you have killed someone
00:31:56.220answer no no no no okay now you know how to vote guilty guilty guilty that's it but you know
00:32:05.720these are tricks tricks that the defense does sometimes it's the prosecution that has to do
00:32:12.960the tricks because they don't have a a strong enough case but um you just can't get distracted
00:32:19.420And the jury is the only people we really care about that understands this.
00:32:26.040Because if you look on social media, you are not convincing a lot of people out there as to what the facts of the case are,
00:32:34.960as to what it means to say that you were defending yourself.
00:32:42.300Texas laws, you know, every state, their self-defense laws are a little different.
00:32:48.000and uh that really is important some states and we'll talk about this a little bit too the
00:32:58.440stand your ground defense because i'm seeing this pop up a lot well texas is a stand your ground
00:33:08.120state and carmelo had every right to stand his ground when he was told to leave the tent
00:33:16.820well if you if you are thinking that you are saying that on social media and you believe it
00:33:24.540you have no idea what stand your ground means and and how it's applicable to a self-defense case
00:33:34.440it it doesn't mean that if you're somewhere you're not supposed to be
00:33:39.780and people tell you to leave that you can stand your ground and not leave go ahead try that
00:33:46.160go go go to texas walk into someone's house and when they go what are you doing here get the f
00:33:54.940out of my house go nope i'm standing my ground uh you best hope that person has a great sense0.99
00:34:04.640of humor before he reaches for uh his pistol because it is so ridiculous to think that stand
00:34:13.580your ground in this case means that carmelo anthony was allowed legally by the stand your
00:34:19.940ground statutes that he could stay in the tent it had nothing to do with that stand your ground is
00:34:27.420a great law it means that when someone approaches you and is threatening you with great bodily harm
00:34:38.540or death you do not have a legal obligation to try to get out of that situation a lot of states
00:34:48.200have that someone could have a knife and they're they're standing at your door and you have a gun
00:34:57.980and they're not moving they're just standing there
00:35:02.480a lot of states you could shoot that person right then and there and it would be self-defense in a
00:35:10.800perfect world depending on your jury depending on who and what and what color a religion or this
00:35:17.820the perpetrator was but in a let's let's say in a perfect world
00:35:21.640in in a stand your ground state you get to stand your ground it's you being threatened by someone
00:35:33.220with great bodily harm or death you do not have to look and go is there an open door behind me
00:35:40.740can i jump out a window can i do anything else but use deadly physical force against this guy
00:35:48.500the states that don't have stand your ground
00:36:57.420And I read people trying to say this was stand your ground.
00:37:04.440You have no, no knowledge as to what stand your ground means in a self-defense case.0.98
00:37:11.340If you think that's what it means, that he had every right to be in that tent and stood his ground dummies, just dummy.0.97
00:37:19.700And I see so much of it. Larry, Brooklyn, how you doing, laugh?0.87
00:37:26.040OK, Anthony, listen, you know, I don't know what the prosecutor said in this case, but just as a side, I happen to be a lawyer.
00:37:34.540So I'm not coming from a layman's perspective, but if he but he could very easily counter all of the arguments of whether he should have all the irrelevant arguments by simply saying there is evidence of premeditation.
00:43:34.600It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:43:40.220The Anthony Cumia Show and a little more on that story.
00:43:44.660The five people stabbed at Penn Station in New York City.
00:43:47.180There's five people stabbed in a mass attack inside Penn Station in New York City Sunday evening.
00:43:53.660An unidentified, emotionally disturbed suspect is in custody, according to the Post.
00:44:02.200Five people rushed to Bellevue Hospital, including one person with serious injuries,
00:44:05.800two people with moderate injuries, and two others with minor injuries.
00:44:09.240The whole smorgasbord there of injuries.
00:44:12.040An unidentified suspect is in custody.
00:44:14.700the individual is believed to be emotionally disturbed according to the sources and here's
00:44:22.020what we will learn um in the coming hours or days about this guy he was known to the police
00:44:31.980he has a lengthy criminal record he was released by a judge because he was emotionally disturbed
00:44:40.500disturbed this is what we're gonna see because they refuse to do anything about that if you're
00:44:47.820labeled emotionally disturbed it doesn't matter doesn't matter if you're a murderer
00:44:53.920or someone that just goes on the sidewalk 24 hours a day they look at everyone like that in
00:45:01.320the same respect and they throw them back out on the street for you to deal with for everyone in
00:45:07.720new york has to has to deal with that person now i guarantee you right now mark my words
00:45:15.800this guy was known to the police a hell of a lot of arrests and he was released
00:45:23.460uh with some from some other assault or uh whatever he was up to
00:45:30.520because always emotionally disturbed mental institutions they make jobs for doctors
00:45:40.940construction workers people that carve those gargoyles that go on the corner of the mental
00:45:46.780hospitals because they make the bars for the windows i mean why why is it now part and parcel
00:45:56.700It is just, hey, you got to deal with it when you live in a major city in the United States, especially a Democrat-run blue city, which are most of all the big cities.
00:46:09.360Why is that looked at as something that we just have to deal with?
00:47:29.740They don't want Trump's help, not because of the help.
00:47:33.340That's part of it, though, because they don't want their city or their state to look so bad that the military is necessary because you're not doing your job.
00:52:11.000Did you get your bet in on Fandle predicts about the L.A. mayor race?0.94
00:52:17.060Because if you bet that Rahman, that candidate Rahman, was going to beat Pratt to take over second place for the runoff between Bass in November, well, that would have been a good one.
00:59:37.520Yeah, but could you imagine that, you know, as we say, the footballer on the other side, could we imagine if it was a black guy or somebody of color, shall we say, and not an indigenous white person here in the UK?
00:59:58.420I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey.
01:00:01.520No, no, no, I do, because when you look at the facts of the George Floyd case, when his medical examiner report came back, it had enough fentanyl in him to kill him.
01:00:12.480He died of an overdose. And Derek Chauvin, the police officer, was doing everything by the book.
01:00:20.220He wasn't breaking any rules. The autopsy also showed no damage to George Floyd's neck, no damage to his windpipe, nothing.
01:00:28.420If you ask me, I'll say it that way, this guy died of a drug overdose.
01:00:33.740Now you look at this other case with Henry Nowak.
01:00:38.740This guy was allowed to bleed out on the street in handcuffs,
01:00:44.600and the cops didn't do anything because they took the word of some immigrants that had stabbed him.
01:00:52.520You could reverse the situation, and of course there would be riots and mayhem.
01:00:58.220but how about we don't reverse the situation and people are angry at what we are seeing0.63
01:01:04.720cops taking the word of murderous immigrants over the word of a dying brit that is bleeding out on
01:01:14.140a sidewalk it's disgusting nick correct and um yeah that is exactly you know you succinctly0.92
01:01:23.900uh portray that correctly um yeah thank you nick i gotta move on though nick but you be well be
01:01:32.060well i don't even know what time it is over there it's like what is it wednesday something like that
01:01:36.480i don't know okay all right well you don't care you don't care i know i got i gotta go i'm running
01:01:41.920out of time i gotta go to break but nick thank you man i appreciate it my brother he's over there
01:01:47.440across the pond as they like to call it all right that was good hearing that and that's a huge case
01:01:53.060everywhere it should be a used case over the entire globe um we'll be back uh more carmelo
01:01:59.520i want to talk about donald trump unloading on an interviewer and walking off the set
01:02:04.860also the la election scam that's going on so much going on your calls also when we return
01:02:13.180in moments it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network
01:02:19.080it's the anthony cumia show just keeping an eye on the big story out of new york tonight five
01:02:26.420people stabbed near penn station last night it says near what i heard in penn station uh
01:02:32.920this is something amtrak police are leading the investigation i i would love to see that scene
01:02:41.120the nypd they got the area roped off and some blood on the floor they're writing stuff in their
01:02:48.540book amtrak police come over who's in charge over here i am nypd not anymore amtrak police
01:02:59.420why don't you get us some coffee while we work this case this has to be the biggest case amtrak
01:03:06.740police have had like ever uh i think he's on the train without a ticket that's pretty much what
01:03:15.440they hear that's what this medal is for i got this one back in uh 93 kicking some guy off the
01:03:23.780acela up to boston no ticket so uh hey amtrak good good luck with that have fun investigating
01:03:32.920that the other big story coming up and i was going to talk about this anyway but latest development
01:03:39.240um decision desk predicts or projects uh nithya raman wins the second of two spots in the california
01:03:52.160los angeles mayor's non-partisan primary which is hilarious non-partisan this uh wow
01:04:00.320it it looks like it reeks of fraud that's i i i don't know i don't have anything to
01:04:13.360to pull up and go here here's your absolute smoking gun proof and i think there is smoking
01:04:23.620gun proof it just hasn't been uh found yet and exposed because it seems mathematically impossible
01:04:33.580that this woman could have beaten pratt in this this race first of all the whole
01:04:43.440la mayor race is run um in a way i like to call silly you you have your candidates
01:04:52.240and on june 2nd remember june 2nd what was that a few days ago that was that was like
01:05:00.840it's the seventh that was five days ago they voted but they're still counting ballots
01:05:10.900they're still counting and back right after the actual election uh pratt was
01:06:56.700She's the projected second candidate that will run against incumbent Mayor Bass in November.
01:07:04.680and we're not supposed to we're not even supposed to go huh hey did you notice that
01:07:12.660don't you election denier don't you even say it no no i'm not saying all i'm saying is
01:07:22.320doesn't it seem a little don't you dare you can't even mention it without them go oh really
01:07:32.440do you not know how many more democrats than republicans there are it you had the two winners
01:07:43.460after election day election day not election week not election month not election day for
01:07:52.600the polls and then election week for for mail-in election month for absentee no
01:07:59.280this is not the way this works this is supposed to be an election
01:08:07.100day and everyone goes out and votes and and you count the votes quickly it's the same thing with
01:08:18.880the uh 2020 election why is it taking so what pipe broke did a pipe break in la where they
01:08:26.740were counting the votes did they put big poster board up in la where they were counting the votes
01:08:32.600so no one could peek in and god forbid see fraud happening as they're pulling ballots out of
01:08:39.520suitcases then you got to think about the um the districts the that they're getting these votes from0.83
01:08:49.420And a lot of these mail-in ballots that went predominantly for Nithya Raman were coming from some of the worst areas in Los Angeles, homeless areas, bums, criminals.
01:09:12.060Where are they getting the ballots?0.54
01:09:15.520What are they putting down as their address?
01:23:40.680and this this is what we're dealing with even there's even a california sheriff here
01:23:48.780uh this is clip ac11 a california sheriff is just saying yeah this is just fraud
01:23:56.640this is rife with fraud uh let's listen to this gentleman the way the voting system is
01:24:03.820structured uh we see quite a few flaws you're able to register even if and cast a vote if you
01:24:10.200don't live in uh in the country as evident of his brother in pakistan i think we have some evidence
01:24:15.420of uh two or three other people out of the country yeah pause pause right there they there's evidence
01:24:21.480that people that don't even live in this country have voted in this la election and that's not
01:24:29.960proof oh where's the proof well this guy this is proof yeah we're we're not even going to consider0.89
01:24:36.020that or look at it you're you're uh racist and xenophobic for even saying that that a pakistani0.98
01:24:43.880man would do something illegal oh you racist and this is this is what we're dealing with0.95
01:24:50.680this is their argument to hey something looks off can we please maybe just look at it0.99
01:24:56.800oh you're a terrible person go screw all right continue uh yeah approximately two or three other
01:25:02.940people out of the country as well as people residing outside of the district okay um the0.99
01:25:08.540online voter registration system uh it seems to be an honor system um anybody can put information
01:25:15.540in there to to register to vote um all you have to do is click the box and say that you're not lying
01:25:21.000and then you'll get an email from the secretary of state or something in the mail saying thank
01:25:26.180you for registering to vote and there you are once you're on the voter rolls anytime an election
01:25:30.840comes around guess what you get mailed a ballot right you get mailed something to vote so we
01:25:35.920found that a little bit problematic a little bit problematic these are these are red flags
01:25:43.280everything he's mentioned is a red flag can you honestly just go to a website
01:25:49.260fill it out no proof of who the hell you are is necessary click i'm not lying i love that
01:25:59.320And then you'll get a ballot in the mail for every election that's going on in that state.
01:26:07.600Does that seem like a secure system that they got there?
01:26:14.160Or does it seem like a system that's put in place that can be compromised, that you can commit fraud on and still have enough plausible deniability?
01:26:26.660the system in and of itself allows fraud to be perpetrated without much proof oh yeah we send
01:26:37.520the ballots out the person filled out the the website and clicked i'm not lying yeah but
01:26:43.340does that seem a little uh lax on secure oh stop that's how we do it here that's how we do it what's
01:26:51.780your problem oh so you do it so fraud could be perpetrated with uh impunity nobody gets
01:26:58.840caught and then they harvest the ballots there's ballot harvesting where you you fill out a bunch
01:27:07.580of these online requests for ballots you click i'm not lying on all of them and then you you
01:27:16.940go around and collect all of these and then you just hand them out you hand them out to the the
01:27:23.540homeless with 20 bucks and they sign them and you take them back and you mail them in and all the
01:27:30.580sudden you have a third place by a large margin candidate large marge no large margin candidate
01:32:24.480Okay, all right, I'm willing to even buy that one.
01:32:29.680but then how do you justify that that ramen got 100 of the mail-in votes and the other democrat
01:32:41.440bass didn't get any because she needed every single one of them it's the only reason
01:32:48.860they would have loved it they would have loved if there were enough mail-in ballots0.82
01:32:54.720to make it at least look good by giving karen bass some of those votes they couldn't though0.96
01:33:00.680god forbid the election actually works and pratt is second place and gets the runoff in november
01:33:09.760god forbid that happens it's so blatant oh is it so blatant0.94
01:33:18.380ah what are we gonna do what are you gonna do there's really nothing we can do we can bitch
01:33:27.400and moan about it complain point fingers of accusation and they're just too powerful
01:33:34.280they have too much and they have the media the left has the media in the palm of their hands
01:33:43.420They work for the left. It's it's the Democrats know they can go to all these news stations and they put the word out. No, this isn't fraud. It's impossible. This is how we do it. This is what we're seeing.
01:34:01.680remember when they were saying how the 2024 election was fraud because trump won
01:34:08.140and that there was no way trump could have won that election because kamala was so beloved
01:34:14.920and beyonce and jay-z performed at uh one of her her rallies and the crowds were huge and this and
01:34:22.980that you know that that's odd meanwhile every vote could be counted could be looked at if
01:34:31.140anything it certainly looked like they would have loved to have have uh perpetrated a little fraud
01:34:38.800on that election but again the margin of victory for trump was way too big so they probably looked
01:34:46.300at that and went oh boy that would be a tough one this would really expose our white underbelly
01:34:52.400if we try to fraud our way to a Kamala victory when Trump won every swing state.
01:35:00.460I still, to this day, believe there was some shenanigans going on in 2024
01:40:55.360Look, where are we going to get some hardcore people on our side following,1.00
01:40:59.500hardcore Republicans that are really going to fight this crap and save this country?0.94
01:41:04.560You know, because I follow this guy from Australia, Jason Hode Beast, okay?0.95
01:41:09.720He's a veteran, and he puts out, you know, he doesn't have a big following, you know,
01:41:13.940but he puts out some really good stuff and talks about what's going on down there.
01:41:16.880And you watch some of these videos on social media about what's going on in Europe,1.00
01:41:20.700like recent riots i think in brussels of of third worlders uh who are wilding in the street yeah0.99
01:41:28.320putting signs through car windshields you know we what the heck is the matter with with let's face0.97
01:41:36.060it it's a white genocide and if white western civilization doesn't wake up and smell the coffee0.97
01:41:41.120and i don't necessarily mean just white people but there's many black americans you know we have0.96
01:41:45.760a shared history with many black americans uh with many uh hispanic americans you know mexicans
01:41:54.260fought at the alamo against against santa anna right right but you know when are we going to0.93
01:42:00.380have have americans that decide to get together and put all this other crap aside and kick the0.93
01:42:06.260rest of the third world out of this country and straighten this crap out who's going to invest0.82
01:42:10.860i mean i wish there were some sheriffs out there in california or law enforcement that had the big0.95
01:42:14.900cojones to go in there and investigate this election it's uh the fed somehow can't get
01:42:21.020involved it's it's called uh what do they call it a suicidal empathy or uh it's this
01:42:28.600this i don't know i don't think it's instinctual it just seems like a lot of americans and a lot
01:42:36.260of europeans germans french english uh especially geez they are just giving it up over there just
01:42:44.240They are so fixated on not seeming racist that they will do anything, even to their own demise, to say, look at me, I'm virtuous, I am not racist, I love and include everybody, as they're being hacked to pieces, quite literally in some instances.
01:53:11.340And he puts out some really good stuff and talks about what's going on down there.
01:53:17.060And you watch some of these videos on social media about what's going on in Europe,1.00
01:53:20.520like recent riots, I think, in Brussels of third worlders1.00
01:53:25.000uh who are wilding in the street yeah putting signs through car windshields you know we what0.97
01:53:33.240the heck is the matter with with let's face it it's a white genocide and if white western0.98
01:53:38.500civilization doesn't wake up and smell the coffee and i don't necessarily mean just white people but0.98
01:53:43.240there's many black americans you know we have a shared history with many black americans uh with
01:53:49.360many uh hispanic americans you know mexicans fought at the alamo against against santa anna
01:53:57.200right right but you know when are we going to have have americans that decide to get together0.98
01:54:02.800and put all this other crap aside and kick the rest of the third world out of this country0.96
01:54:07.980and straighten this crap out who's going to investigate i mean i wish there were some1.00
01:54:11.860sheriffs out there in california or law enforcement that had the big cojones0.98
01:54:15.260to go in there and investigate this election.
01:54:18.840And I don't see why the Fed somehow can't get involved.
01:54:21.720It's called, what do they call it, suicidal empathy?
01:54:26.680Or it's this, I don't think it's instinctual.
01:54:32.120It just seems like a lot of Americans and a lot of Europeans, Germans, French, English,
01:54:39.940especially, geez, they are just giving it up over there.
01:54:43.340They are so fixated on not seeming racist that they will do anything, even to their own demise, to say, look at me, I'm virtuous, I am not racist, I love and include everybody, as they're being hacked to pieces, quite literally in some instances.
01:55:15.440And I honestly don't think it's the majority of people that live in America or live in these Western European nations.
01:55:25.560But it sure is discouraging and disheartening to see that there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel for any of this, Joaquin.0.92
01:55:35.020And I don't know what to tell anyone when they go, because I bitch and complain about it.
01:55:41.480And they go, okay, so what do we do?0.95
02:20:03.180I like the idea that we as a nation are proud enough of what we built, of Washington, D.C., the capital of this country, being the representation of this country.0.87
02:20:19.820When a dignitary comes to D.C. and looks around and goes, wow, they really appreciate this country.
