00:01:23.620need need a dad it's just terrible some of these people you know the dad's not as committed as I
00:01:32.440guess they used to be they kind of leave and leave their kids without something integral
00:01:39.460integral to their I don't know growing up and becoming a human a human that can function in a
00:01:50.620society it's quite a responsibility i think moms of course too but you know that's mother's day
00:01:57.720it's father's day so i'll talk about dads a little more uh you know every every person you see
00:02:06.780that is uh screwed up they're uh they're ruining everything they can't function
00:02:14.120in a society you got to kind of blame the parents a little bit you know sometimes they do their best
00:02:23.120and still it's never a hundred percent but um dads are so important to uh their kids not just
00:02:31.660like i was saying not just uh boys but the girls too and um there just doesn't seem to be
00:02:39.020uh the importance put on that these days they've they've they who who this time anthony well the
00:02:49.640usual the usual suspects the mental patient liberals in um in this country have uh just
00:02:59.340tried to destroy every single institution that we have that has proven itself to be
00:03:06.980good it works two parents uh education teaching children about uh morality and ethics
00:03:21.860that was always a good thing and now it's looked at as some terrible thing that
00:03:29.360somehow they've they've perverted in it being white supremacy in some cases i've read that one
00:03:36.880oh yeah having a family having a nice family achieving your goals as a parent
00:03:43.600to having kids that do well and are well adjusted and you have a house over their head dad works
00:03:51.140mom takes care of the house sure it sounds old-fashioned but uh it worked for so long
00:03:58.120And then the absolute want and need to destroy that by some of these people on the left, a lot of them, if you ask me, everyone I see, especially of late, we've been watching a lot of protests and nonsense.
00:04:21.120and uh yeah i've said it before i i have not seen one liberal that goes to these events
00:04:32.740these protests and whatnot that aren't insane not a one sorry you you see people asking them
00:04:44.560questions and they come up with a camera and they just want something from them hey what are you
00:04:51.280here for what are you doing and what do you get you get this psycho babble coming out of them
00:04:58.560they look freakish oh anthony what do you know about i know what freakish looks like i have a
00:05:07.400mirror uh yeah i know what freakish is oh what is normal anthony why do you say normal when you
00:05:18.020know who are you to judge i'm not judging but i know normal too make me the normal police
00:05:24.160i can point out people that aren't normal i'm amazing at it just make me the normal police
00:05:31.360the normal police but it's uh you know they all seem uh nuts and i can't imagine bringing it back
00:05:42.540to to father's day that they have fathers in this the family or if they do they have they're these
00:05:51.660beta just not men the woman the wife runs the whole show and he just sits there sits there in
00:06:04.380the hotel cuck chair and uh you know doesn't contribute what a man needs to contribute
00:06:14.160to their kids to a family for god's sake um so you know dads are are unbelievably important
00:06:25.240in um in a child's life and i'm not saying you you can't
00:06:33.940grow up in that single family household like i was talking about you know moms
00:06:38.860moms do great jobs when they have to the thing is uh try to make it so you don't have to
00:06:45.960how about that how about that i was married for a few years and i knew right from the get-go that
00:06:55.480it was just not uh not my bag man it just wasn't uh gonna work wasn't gonna be something good
00:07:03.300and uh she wanted to have kids and i knew i wasn't going to put a kid through that
00:07:08.920either we're not together or we stay together and it's just a toxic atmosphere
00:07:17.040i grew up in uh in that why would i want to do that to a kid
00:07:21.600so uh you know i just decided to uh to dissolve the marriage i cheated a little before but
00:07:30.900look we all have our faults we all have our faults but i knew well enough not to uh have a kid
00:07:38.880because i would have at some point left the wife and you know now you gotta you gotta deal with
00:07:46.440being a part-time dad and then maybe some other idiot comes in and raises your kids oh i couldn't
00:07:53.780imagine that so you know i mean some of those traditions are uh are pretty good pretty good
00:08:02.100things and the fact that they've tried to undermine them at every turn for decades now
00:08:09.780families are bad things oh families are racist oh it's it's homophobic to say that
00:08:17.700a kid can't have two dads look i know a lot of things have changed since i was a kid
00:08:24.280especially in school but i can't imagine that father-son day i was talking about about you
00:08:34.780know you go to school and your dad comes in father-son breakfast it was and and you sit
00:08:40.800at the cafeteria tables in your school and your dad's there and your friend's dad's there and
00:08:46.860you're talking about things and the dads are discussing things and and it was awesome
00:08:52.880could could you could you possibly imagine you have two dads two gay dads and you bring them
00:09:02.520into school and that's they don't even do that anymore what am i saying that's too much of a
00:09:09.660tradition that's too much of a oh you're not including the kids that don't have fathers
00:09:16.180yeah sometimes that's the way things work even back when i was in school there were some kids
00:09:22.660that didn't have dads maybe grandpa showed up maybe they just had to sit there with their
00:09:28.480friend and his dad sometimes them's the brakes kid and uh still it was something that was a
00:09:38.320tradition and all these traditions that seem to have worked for so long in making um
00:09:45.360making families sound families sane families uh they've just tried to erase all that
00:09:55.200and they always lie to you about why they're doing it and how it's done and no we're not doing it
00:10:00.580we just want to include everyone that's what it is that's what it's all about kids
00:10:05.220we want to include everyone so happy father's day but you know that that's even been a thing
00:11:13.340I've written some things on social media about the conflict, and I've been called everything from a terrorist, a savage Middle Eastern Iranian terrorist, to a Zion-loving Jew-loving, like, you can't have an opinion.
00:11:43.340You can't just have an opinion or dare make a joke without having to be on one side or the other.
00:11:52.620You know, I kind of like the fact that we are sitting back and watching this go down.
00:12:00.940And boy, I don't think, I don't know, the United States is an ally of Israel and has supplied a lot of weapons
00:12:09.920and a lot of other stuff that makes it possible for Israel to be at war with Iran
00:23:26.500It doesn't pan out to be World War III.
00:23:31.060You know, the Ukraine-Russia thing, of course.
00:23:35.040There were plenty of other things where people said, well, this is it.
00:23:39.160nukes everyone loves throwing that around these days too i grew up in the 60s well as a little
00:23:47.680kid in the 60s mostly the 70s as a as a child but i remember i remember being in first grade
00:23:55.620and having to go under the desk for the teacher no i'm teasing the uh the air raid drills they
00:24:02.960put you under the desk uh to protect you from atomic bombs the desk yeah we all joke about that
00:24:12.040now don't we but uh the the uh the prospect of nuclear war back then was very frightening
00:24:19.520and it was very realistic you have the soviet union china the united states and and they were
00:24:27.280They were always just bashing heads and proxy wars, all kinds of things going on that took us to the brink of nuclear war on a couple of occasions and probably more so that we never even knew about.
00:30:34.860They might have nuclear. No. It's business. The West does business with all these nations now.
00:30:45.800And if there's one thing that will keep people from shooting each other, it's mutual interest in making a lot of money and garnering as much power as as you can.
00:30:59.720so when you look at all these other nations we we aren't gonna get in a tiff with uh
00:31:06.260saudi arabia because the money that is exchanged is unbelievable between the two nations and with
00:31:16.200israel israel is part of the business machine of the middle east now who isn't in that iran
00:42:20.660Yes, indeed. Anthony Cumia's show. Let's talk to Matt from the Bronx. Matt, what's up, man?
00:42:29.960Hey, how are you, Anthony? All right. So I wanted to ask if you're familiar with the Council for the National Interest. Does that ring a bell?
00:42:43.440Okay. So the Council for the National Interest was founded by two Republican congressmen, Pete McCluskey and Paul Finley. And basically what it's designed to do is to do two things. Number one, to inform the public with regard to objective information about the Middle East. And number two, to advance what I think is probably the most pragmatic foreign policy in that part of the world for the United States, and that's a policy of strict neutrality.
00:43:12.020Right. So now that being said, with regard to what's going on right now in the Middle East, you have a situation whereby in this country, unfortunately, for both the Democratic Party as well as the Republican Party.
00:43:27.880I'm talking about the party leadership and the people who make decisions with regard to foreign policy.
00:43:32.940Both parties, unfortunately, have sipped the neoconservative Kool-Aid, and they're the ones who are actually leading the show with regard to our foreign policy in that region of the world, as is also the case with regard to the Ukraine war.
00:43:49.380Because, you know, with regard to Iran specifically, Iran was on the last target, last country on the target list of the New York conservatives when they wrote up a foreign policy paper called A Clean Break.
00:44:04.420That was back in 1996, before 9-11, before George Bush.
00:44:09.580Yes, yes. And with a clean break, mind you, you had people like Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Richard Pearl, all these people that got us involved in the Iraq War, all the people that got us involved in Libya, Syria, you name it.
00:44:25.340They wrote that policy paper back in 1996, not for an American administration. They wrote it for the same person who now has Israel as he did back then. They wrote it for Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:44:36.960Now, neoconservatives, if they're just simply an intellectual movement, they put a foreign country ahead of the United States in terms of national security, in terms of our foreign policy objectives.
00:44:52.620Now, that's fine if they're just an intellectual movement, but they're not just an intellectual movement.
00:44:58.340They're people who have arrogated to themselves a position in our government where they're formulating policy and dictating national policy directives for an entire nation, 330 million people.
00:45:12.460OK, now I've heard this, Matt. I've heard this before. And and again, I love listening to other people's ideas and opinions on things, especially as hot button issues and controversial issues.
00:45:27.920And this is one of them. I mean, but my here's my question, because I know what you're getting at.
00:45:34.260It's like Israel. A lot of people believe Israel has absolute power over the United States and our government and everything else.
00:45:43.580And we are there to do their bidding. I've heard it many times.
00:45:46.960Can I ask one question, though? What why would we do that? And what do we get out of it?
00:45:53.040Shouldn't we get something out of this relationship, this allyship, this usury maybe, if it's Israel just using the United States?
00:46:04.720How come we aren't getting anything out of it?
00:46:10.820In terms of why they have such a stranglehold over American politics, it's really twofold.
00:46:16.460Number one, you have the political donors, people like Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire donors that donate to Republican and Democratic political campaigns.
00:46:30.780Yeah, but what does the country get out of it?
00:47:09.400They get the Middle East and they're able to do things in the Middle East that would have had them pounded into the ground without America as their big brother backing them up.
00:47:20.940What does America get from this allyship with Israel?
00:47:27.500see that makes no but that makes no sense why would we do this then instead of just turning
00:47:33.940around and going go f yourself screw you we're not doing this anymore we get nothing out of it
00:47:39.620that's what i've heard matt i've heard the same thing from many other people they said
00:47:43.380well we get nothing i go then why are we doing any of this because because our political class
00:47:50.600is beholden to the people who run our media the people who donate to their campaigns you know the
00:47:56.920The average working Joe who goes out there, puts in an honest day's work, pays his taxes, minds his business, you know, he might vote for this or that candidate, but he's not funding their campaigns.
00:48:08.140But if we're not getting it, but if we're not getting anything, what if we just say, screw you to everybody, all those donors, screw you, we're not doing this, we're not doing that.
00:48:19.600We have nothing to lose because apparently we're not getting anything.
00:48:35.220You know, because, again, unfortunately, the citizens of this country, we're the ones who are suffering.
00:48:40.300But the politicians, they don't care about the country.
00:48:43.940They don't care about they only care about their own careers, getting reelected, taking as much pack money as they possibly can in every election cycle.
00:48:53.920They don't give a damn about the country.
00:48:56.080They don't care about the welfare of our country, our public safety.
00:48:59.840They don't care if we get attacked again on a 9-11-style attack because of our one-sided policy in the Middle East.
00:51:11.160Again, manhandled, brutally taken down, handcuffed.
00:51:16.880It was disgusting. Anyone who looks at it, it turns anyone. Anyone who looks at this, it will turn their stomach to look at this video and see what happened. Reeks, reeks of totalitarianism. This is not what democracies do.
00:51:35.660Senator Padilla was there legitimately in that building to ask questions of what's going on in California,
00:51:43.640which everybody wants to know answers to.
00:51:45.860We don't get answers when we ask the administration questions in one way or another.
00:51:51.500So Senator Padilla was exercising his duty as a senator for his constituents to try and find out what happened.
00:51:58.620and instead he gets manhandled, thrown out of the room,
00:52:02.500thrown out on the ground and handcuffed.
00:52:05.680We need a full investigation immediately as to what happened
00:55:41.600So that on the surface, I would say, is what we gain to stand to benefit from the fact that they are basically the tip of the spear when it comes to dealing with global terror.
00:55:55.600But Mike, I love what you're saying. I hear what you're saying. But wouldn't that make us kind of their puppet master?
00:56:05.560We're putting them out there to take the heat for our bidding.
00:56:11.060They're doing our bidding in the Middle East, and they're the ones that are going to take the brunt of it.
00:56:16.000Because if it was their motivation, why the hell would they put themselves in harm's way unless they knew America was there?
00:56:25.320But if they're doing our bidding, then isn't that completely the opposite of what a lot of people say,
00:56:29.860that we just do Israel's bidding without getting anything in return?
00:56:34.540which brings me to my next point that's the surface point that's the surface point i think
00:56:41.360the deeper point is that if you go back the last i'd say 50 years or so uh they've probably gathered
00:56:49.760more intelligence on american politicians and the political elites than anybody else in the world
00:56:56.960and to keep a lid on that i'm sure we go along with a lot of things mike are we just doing this
00:57:06.520because of blackmail oh is it all just because of blackmail something so scandalous and and late
00:57:17.200movie topic kind of a thing i oh i'd hate to think that we have given over our country
00:57:25.560to another nation for nothing more than something some broad can do to you
01:05:22.260And when people really become cognizant of the problems we have here in this country and then you've got a group of people that have been called a pariah, the worst people in America, you know, you start getting mad, you know, and you're you're you're straight white kid these days is pretty tired of being called the problem.
01:05:48.560and then when you look at world events and you start seeing the world yeah that we have to save
01:05:56.160the world it's like why i'm a piece of garbage you told me i am uh we i think we're at a point
01:06:01.320now and this happens politically uh in this country over the course of the years it's happened
01:06:06.200many times we go from you know we got to save the world to virtual political isolationism
01:06:13.720we we don't want to get involved in any of the the things happening beyond our shores
01:06:20.140uh pre-world war ii was the same thing pre-world war one was the same thing we just wanted to stay
01:06:26.740out of it there were a lot of americans and then lo and behold something happens
01:06:32.340uh like pearl harbor um or you know uh uh what was the situation you see guys you see guys like
01:06:40.380tim pool now i'm not sure i'm sorry to interrupt but you see a lot of other like mainstream people
01:06:44.700now talking about sleeper cells talking about be prepared for an iranian attack on u.s soil like
01:06:49.700right there's not there's not enough especially from young people not enough um approval you know
01:06:56.980for us to like want to go into a new war like this so how do you get a large portion of the
01:07:01.720population to want to go into war yeah you know i'm not saying i'm not saying that we would i'm
01:07:07.220not saying that it's a false flag it's whatever but maybe you allow for the conditions you allow
01:07:11.240for open borders underneath four years of a previous administration right to allow things
01:07:15.540like that to harbor and then all of a sudden when it's convenient you have possibly something
01:07:20.160horrible happen that we didn't do it's not like uh you know israel did i'm not saying anything
01:07:25.820like that but we allow the conditions almost to to harbor in the country for these things to happen
01:07:32.080and then be shocked when it's like yeah well now we have to go save the world again it's like okay
01:07:35.380But why do we allow these sleeper cells to form?
01:07:39.640It is something to think about that maybe some of the powers that be put these situations in place to make it a lot more plausible that these things could happen.
01:07:49.680If we hadn't let in tens of millions of illegals, it would be pretty hard to say, well, there are so many sleeper cells that came into the country during the time when the border was open.
01:08:32.520It's it's the last administration was obviously incompetent, but it's like, is it incompetence or is it like, again, is it allowed to be incompetent for some other reason?
01:08:50.200But now, especially now, with all the other avenues of information you can get or disinformation you can get, the youth of this country are very distrusting in the government.
01:09:03.420So you'd be hard pressed to convince them and get them on your side like, yeah, we need to get in there and kick Iran's ass.
01:11:57.860And then one more thing. I was reading a book that Bill O'Reilly wrote called Confronting the Presidents, and I'm up to Ulysses Grant. He was a Republican, and he reminds me of Donald Trump. And you know they called him a dictator because he wanted the Ku Klux Klan wiped out. And he did. He got rid of them. They were very bad people.
01:12:23.860They were like, who would have known that?
01:12:26.400Sandra, I love your points, but I'm going into a break.
01:12:38.300Your calls, 800-848-9222 on the Anthony Cumia Show.
01:12:43.800It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
01:12:48.180it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network
01:12:58.220the anthony cumia show welcome back uh we'll get off the israel iran thing for a little bit
01:13:07.640don't worry about it if you're uh you still want to talk about it i'm sure we will speak more about
01:13:14.420it as the show goes on i do want to get to um our other segment of course uh fake news fake
01:13:23.380now fake news folks fake news it's the fake news fake stories news moment oh my goodness there's
01:13:31.940so much fake news isn't there we don't even know what's fake and what's real that's the the real
01:13:38.760difficult thing to uh digest i don't know i watch some things i go yeah that seems
01:13:46.000legitimate and i i consider myself of average intellect uh we're getting to the point where
01:13:53.860it's very difficult and then you bring ai into the whole thing i am seeing videos that i really
01:14:01.440can't tell if it's ai or not news videos where it's presented as news which uh is much more
01:14:11.100dangerous than just a meme or uh some some quick funny video uh usually you could tell those are ai
01:14:20.100because of the context now you're just like oh my god i did not know that that was completely
01:14:27.680constructed in a computer so um fake news is becoming very hard to uh see but when you when
01:14:36.460you uh get maxine waters involved you know you know it's going to be fake news this is uh maxine
01:14:45.580the ice raids of course have caused all kinds of pandemonium across the country we have the um
01:14:53.140What do we have? The No Kings protest. We'll talk a little about that in a bit. And then we have protests about the deportations of illegals. And, of course, L.A. is a hotspot for protests, crime, assaults of law enforcement officers.
01:15:18.100so um obviously ice has been doing its job under the constitution they have been uh apprehending
01:15:28.380illegals and putting them on the road to deportation and somehow this is unconstitutional
01:15:35.800dictatorship it's no due process no if an illegal alien commits a crime here they will stand trial
01:15:44.860with a judge and a jury and they will get every due process that anyone else in this country is
01:15:54.320given. But Maxine seems to think that that isn't happening. It's unconstitutional and
01:16:05.660that the people that are protesting are protesting peacefully and that Donald Trump is trying to
01:16:13.780kind of incite them to violence it was all fine everything was fine and dandy until donald trump
01:16:23.340told law enforcement and sent in the national guard and marines and whatever other law enforcement
01:16:29.780could uh uh stop this this vandalism arson assaults on law enforcement we saw it and they
01:16:40.800talk about uh well the vast majority have been peaceful protests show me one show me one peaceful
01:16:49.720protest that was happening in la concerning uh the the uh deportations show me one i've not seen
01:16:59.580one they keep telling me the vast majority only a few uh have resulted in violence and mostly
01:17:07.000because donald trump has incited them to violence um not one peaceful one and if you see people
01:17:15.640standing in the middle of a highway and you call that peaceful that's not that is not protected
01:17:24.400free speech freedom of expression freedom to assemble you're in the middle of a highway it's
01:17:31.780illegal you can be arrested you can be forced off that roadway by law
01:33:45.920But, you know, I love the way you start out the show and then all the other topics that have come out about how, you know, a father has so much influence, obviously, both parents.
01:34:01.160But, you know, it's Father's Day. And, you know, we we talk we talk a lot about, you know, the influence on boys, especially with fathers or without fathers, how that the difference is.
01:34:19.220But you can't really put a broad net because then you look at someone like, oh, my God, I'm just here to blank out.
01:34:44.600whose mother was you know she she didn't know how to read she had six children he never had a
01:34:53.600father she what a surprise but the thing is is that look how he turned out yes there are anomalies
01:35:03.960susan there are anomalies there are exceptions to the rule but uh mostly we deal with the rule
01:35:12.160which dictates that a child born or raised in a household with a single parent
01:35:20.100will not fare as well as one raised in a father-mother environment.
01:35:27.920Completely, but none of it is perfect.
01:35:31.120Even in the most perfect situations, there's adversity.
01:35:35.160I know, Susan, I understand what you're saying.
01:35:36.420My my I hope I my point didn't get lost because I wasn't saying that people don't don't have the potential, regardless of their their circumstance, parental circumstance when they're being raised.
01:35:53.720I get that. All I'm saying is my biggest point on this was that liberal Democrats, mental patients are trying to tear that down.
01:36:05.160it happens it happens a lot some things will happen where a parent has to raise their children
01:36:11.320alone it's terrible uh but some do a very good job and you get a lot of people that uh come out
01:36:18.360at the other end uh as as great people contributors to uh our our societies but it's the the the
01:36:26.280people that are trying to tear those institutions down and bad mouth that uh a dual father mother
01:36:34.640parent atmosphere for kids that it's somehow white supremacy it's more unhealthy than if
01:36:41.260uh the kid has two dads or two moms those are the people i'm really getting on not so much that
01:36:48.040people have to raise their kids alone sometimes and uh many of them can do a good job i i never
01:36:54.340meant to make it sound like i didn't i didn't mean that and oh i know and that's not what i'm
01:37:00.240saying that you that I got from what you said thank you Susan also that the um the situation
01:37:07.320that um having the father-daughter relationship um that I never really even understood completely
01:37:17.440but now looking back that the father as a role model to his daughter as to what type of a male
01:37:26.900that would be a good um uh situation for her and how he treats his wife not so much of treating the
01:37:37.360girl like daddy yes they're watching it like what's the example i see the way my dad treats
01:37:44.660my mom and that's a man that i would hope i would get uh to to marry uh when i get older
01:38:06.220Because it's very rare that a girl will go into things that were, let's say, an unhealthy lifestyle, Susan, if I may, if there is a loving, caring, disciplinary father in the family there.
01:39:24.840hitting on a lot of uh topics this evening um one of which of course earlier clown of the week we
01:39:34.720did and it was four clowns and i want to uh get the the two that are left out there so
01:39:41.160we could expose all the clowns of this week of course talking about the padilla
01:39:47.520uh debacle where he walked in kind of ran in to um a speech uh given by the homeland security
01:39:58.940secretary and the police doing their job grabbed him put him to the ground and cuffed him he was
01:40:06.180trying to get up and run back to the podium no one knew who this guy was and uh every politician
01:40:13.420Every Democrat politician has to make it like it was the worst thing they've ever seen.
01:40:19.980Like you dragged out 10 representatives, put them on a post, 10 posts in front of a wall and shot them.
01:40:28.640That's that's the drama they're trying to conjure up here.
01:40:34.160And, of course, Elizabeth Warren had to be another one who chimes in with her take on this horrible assault on our democracy.
01:40:48.060Here's Liz Warren talking about Padilla getting thrown out of a press conference.
01:40:54.080When Senator Padilla gets pushed, shoved, handcuffed because he is asking questions, because he is engaging in the very oversight that senators are supposed to engage in,
01:41:11.560then what we're really talking about here is a Trump administration that just wants to shut down the ordinary functions of government.
01:41:21.140Look, I don't want to oversight myself.
01:41:24.160I ask a lot of questions because that's how it works in a democracy.
01:41:27.880We use our words to hold people accountable.
01:53:30.060And then this guy shoots her and kills her.
01:53:34.240And he was apparently a guy that was very into these social causes.
01:53:38.200I guess he went over to Africa and was helping out some Africans.
01:53:43.300Not something you would normally see a conservative doing.
01:53:47.380Yet I've heard people, again, the mis- or disinformation, saying that he was a Trump supporter, a Republican, he's a MAGA guy, but he had no King's flyers in his vehicle, and none of it makes sense.
01:54:04.300Again, there's so much garbage bull going around that no one knows the real story anymore.
01:54:11.120i would assume if governor tim walls had appointed him to anything he's certainly not a mega guy
01:54:18.820i know that much but then there's this real strange thing this guy's married got a wife
01:54:27.500kids a nice home he apparently was doing very well for himself a lot of money
01:54:35.240and uh what do we got we got a roommate that uh got almost a love text from this guy
01:54:45.440that made the roommate cry what huh can we listen to some of this here's the roommate
02:13:47.480You get combative imbecile that runs away from the question.
02:13:54.740And again, like I said, if you took the time to be out there, you're passionate enough to hate somebody, enough to make a sign and badmouth them and what have you, you would welcome the opposition media asking you questions.
02:24:19.820And he's trying to tell people that, hey, the riots that the National Guard has been brought in for aren't happening because Moby doesn't see it right outside his house.
