00:01:46.820 awesome dad that you uh you have 800-848-9222 that would be 800-848-9222 my dad uh passed away

00:02:00.060 uh many years ago like in the uh in the 90s and uh he was quite the character quite the card

00:02:10.100 you know i learned a lot from him but not in the way that a father normally teaches

00:02:15.840 their kid things there was a lot of well i have to make sure i don't do that when i uh reach the

00:02:24.760 age that my dad was at at the time a lot of that kind of stuff but fun not crazy uh abusive or

00:02:32.460 neglectful um in in a lot of ways you know i remember being hungry a few a few times during

00:02:40.600 my childhood we were out in uh southern california orange county down there he lived in laguna beach

00:02:48.940 This was after my mom and dad got a divorce, and dad winged it out to the West Coast.

00:02:56.600 He figured he wanted to be as far away from my mom as he could possibly be

00:03:03.360 and still be within the contiguous United States.

00:03:09.000 So he went out to California to become a cowboy,

00:03:15.160 and uh not not like the village people cowboy perish the thought but uh yeah he bought himself

00:03:22.320 a horse had a little ranch and uh i'd go out there to visit me my brother and my sister

00:03:30.300 and i wound up staying out there for a few years with him and uh it was uh i i'm very thankful

00:03:38.640 Some of those times were a little rough, like I said, hungry.

00:03:42.920 There was a lot of irresponsibility that I saw with Dad.

00:03:48.680 But he taught me a lot of things, you know?

00:03:53.040 Guns.

00:03:54.780 Guns.

00:03:55.280 That was one thing he was pretty responsible about is teaching his kids,

00:04:00.040 you know, me and my brother especially, about gun safety.

00:04:04.260 You know, that was a big thing.

00:04:05.600 You didn't just grab a gun and start blasting away.

00:04:09.440 And that was pretty cool.

00:04:10.760 As far as driving goes, you know, I was probably 13, 14 at the time.

00:04:15.820 And dad teaches you to drive, right?

00:04:20.320 How I was taught to drive was he threw me the keys, just threw me the keys.

00:04:26.040 And I jumped in, and it was a standard transmission, an old Ford pickup truck with three on the column.

00:04:37.360 And that was it.

00:04:38.800 You learned how to drive.

00:04:40.840 It's like the old, you know, throw the kid in the pool, teach him how to swim.

00:04:44.980 That was great. 1.00

00:04:46.200 You know, little life lessons on girls.

00:04:50.220 Little Anthony there falling in love with a girl at school.

00:04:55.020 and dad just, you know, looking, going,

00:04:57.100 ah, God, don't let that eat you up inside.

00:05:01.300 What's wrong with you?

00:05:02.900 Smoking his Tarryton cigarette. 1.00

00:05:06.340 Son of a bitch. 1.00

00:05:07.740 That's what he was saying. 1.00

00:05:09.240 He'd look at me and just go, pfft, with a cigarette.

00:05:13.360 Jesus Christ, what are you doing?

00:05:15.800 What are you doing, Anthony? 1.00

00:05:18.420 I think it was trying to say, like, bros before hoes 0.99

00:05:22.520 or something to that effect. 1.00

00:05:26.840 But it was a lot of fun.

00:05:29.420 And then I came back out to New York

00:05:31.180 and was visiting my mom for the summer,

00:05:34.880 and I looked around and was like,

00:05:36.360 I think I better stay here.

00:05:38.800 I think I was kind of putting myself in a position where

00:05:45.020 I don't know if I would have gotten to the point I am now.

00:05:49.660 I don't know.

00:05:50.400 I think I'd be wearing a cowboy hat and boots and drinking a lot during every hour of the day with my buddies around the ranch.

00:06:03.200 That's what dear old dad was doing.

00:06:06.220 So it was awesome.

00:06:08.200 It was fun.

00:06:09.340 You know, you might listen to this and go, how was that fun?

00:06:12.320 It was a blast.

00:06:13.540 Riding horses.

00:06:14.180 i got a horse at that age you know young teens and a pistol and i'd ride up into the the hills

00:06:23.040 of orange county san juan capistrano where the swallows come back every year and uh ride up

00:06:29.400 there and go shooting and it was great it was like the last bit of the the old west not quite

00:06:36.880 the 1800s old west but what california the west coast if you lived anywhere between like san diego

00:06:43.900 in LA in those

00:06:45.580 rural suburbs

00:06:47.660 of the cities down there

00:06:49.720 it was kind of cool

00:06:51.280 you had your Laguna Beach surfer

00:06:53.080 stoners and then

00:06:55.620 San Juan Capistrano there was a lot of

00:06:57.480 horses and equestrian people

00:06:59.660 and Dana Point

00:07:01.800 was another one I went to

00:07:03.020 Dana Hills High School

00:07:04.360 with Nicole Brown Simpson

00:07:06.880 I was a freshman

00:07:08.840 she was a senior

00:07:09.980 I was trying to tell her about that boyfriend

00:07:13.560 but what are you going to do?

00:07:16.300 Yeah, so that was dear old dad.

00:07:19.380 God bless, you know, rest in peace for Father's Day.

00:07:24.460 That was a dear, dear old dad.

00:07:26.240 Let's go to Jim.

00:07:27.460 Jim.

00:07:28.400 Jim in Oakland, New Jersey.

00:07:31.060 What's up, Jim?

00:07:32.920 How are we, Anthony?

00:07:34.660 Doing well, doing well.

00:07:36.300 Glad you could pop in, join us this Sunday.

00:07:40.140 Yeah, I lost my father a month ago. 1.00

00:07:42.300 ah that's a camel smoker yeah camel smoker you know copd better than a pole smoker right 0.99

00:07:50.300 am i right absolutely but uh yeah he uh lost his sight during covid he was in a freaking 0.92

00:08:00.840 nursing home so oh jesus it was rough man it was rough yeah you know there's there's something to

00:08:08.840 be said like my dad uh genetically my dad's side of the family is just was horrendous with

00:08:15.620 cardiovascular issues so um he wound up dying like i don't want to get too morbid or

00:08:23.440 whatever when we're talking about this but he he died like 58 years old um and there's there's

00:08:31.060 something to be said because like obviously i would have liked more years with him that would

00:08:37.920 have been nice but i didn't have to watch him degrade and and you know you you want to be around

00:08:45.280 you want to watch him i'm not saying it's better or any worse it is what it is but i hear some of

00:08:50.700 these horror stories and it's like that would just kill me to watch my dad for 10 years 15 years

00:08:57.080 just deteriorating away so i don't know i don't know any different because he did die at a young

00:09:04.820 age like that but uh i don't know it just i didn't have to watch that i'll tell you yeah he had to go

00:09:13.340 into a nursing home i kept him out of a nursing home for a year and a half i he went blind i

00:09:18.840 pushed everything against the wall he didn't want to go and he was around his apartment knew where

00:09:24.840 everything was and i kept him there this is the man i'll tell you this when i was nine years old

00:09:30.700 and handed me two kids' albums and said,

00:09:33.200 here, you'll like these guys.

00:09:34.920 And I looked at the albums, and I said, 0.97

00:09:36.980 holy shit, who are these? 0.99

00:09:38.440 Oh, watch the language, my friend. 0.99

00:09:40.560 Sorry.

00:09:41.260 Watch that bad S-word you just used.

00:09:45.380 Hopefully, in the home base up there in New York, 0.99

00:09:47.880 they pushed the dumb button on that one. 0.97

00:09:50.800 All good. 0.99

00:09:52.660 Yeah, so I had to put him into, you know, Medicaid, Medicare, whatever.

00:09:59.480 and it was horrible watching him for the last five years.

00:10:03.720 Terrible, terrible.

00:10:05.100 But, you know, if you got a dad out there, enjoy your father.

00:10:12.680 Absolutely.

00:10:13.840 Smooth over any of those rifts that you have that don't really matter

00:10:17.500 because I know a lot of people don't want to.

00:10:19.500 1,000%.

00:10:20.200 Everybody listen to what he just said, 1,000%.

00:10:23.100 Yeah, you want to do that.

00:10:24.940 And, you know, if you don't have a dad, if your dad passed away,

00:10:28.600 I remember those fun, good times, like when me and my dad and a bunch of his friends got thrown against the wall by cops at a bar in Capistrano

00:10:39.980 because we were fighting with some tourists that had come into town.

00:10:44.540 And I remember that.

00:10:46.740 That was a fond memory.

00:10:49.300 Very cool, man.

00:10:50.540 Jim, thank you.

00:10:51.400 And sorry to hear about your pop there.

00:10:53.920 You know, that first Father's Day without Dad is a tough one.

00:10:57.500 that's a tough one there he goes potty mouth i guess uh his dad didn't teach him to watch your

00:11:04.880 language watch your p's q's and s words when you're on broadcast radio my friend i know when

00:11:12.080 you talk to me it all sounds very relaxed doesn't it like we're all just hanging out these are

00:12:09.440 The Anthony Cumia Show on this Sunday, Father's Day.

00:12:13.300 And we're taking a few calls from people.

00:12:15.620 Want to talk about Father's Day a little bit at the beginning of the show.

00:12:18.880 This is Mike. Mike in Connecticut. What's up, Mike?

00:12:23.100 Anthony, what's going on? I've been listening to you for a long time. How's it going, buddy?

00:12:25.860 Thank you. Very good. Very good. Enjoying myself.

00:12:29.560 So I want to shift the gears. I'm 40 years old. I'm millennial.

00:12:33.240 And I'm conservative. And I went through COVID.

00:12:36.040 I had to go through the whole thing of wearing a mask, trying to do my job.

00:12:40.880 And my dad, I literally had a kid.

00:12:44.640 My wife was pregnant with my second kid.

00:12:46.940 And my dad had the audacity to tell me to take the shot while the COVID stuff was going on. 0.95

00:12:56.400 He said, listen, your pregnant wife needs to take this COVID shot. 0.86

00:13:02.020 I said, listen, this is a deal breaker, man.

00:13:06.300 On every single Father's Day, it reminds me of it.

00:13:12.700 And I haven't spoken to my father in five years.

00:13:15.200 It's really tough, man.

00:13:16.940 Yeah, that's a biggie.

00:13:19.940 I know that whole thing tore a lot of families apart,

00:13:23.320 whether it was because of arguments or because they wouldn't allow people

00:13:26.600 to see their elderly parents or grandparents.

00:13:30.260 What a horrible time in history.

00:13:32.480 I think the COVID years will go down in history as just a black mark on our country

00:13:39.280 and how things were done.

00:13:41.460 But that's terrible.

00:13:42.820 Is there any way you don't think there's any way you could sort that out, huh?

00:13:46.940 And he marked himself as a conservative.

00:13:49.800 I'm like, Dad, you don't understand how crazy it is to literally tell my pregnant wife to take a shot, for me to take a shot.

00:13:57.100 And I took a shot. 0.58

00:13:58.000 I took the first round of it.

00:13:59.560 And as the years gone by, he literally has not said a single word of, you know, son, as the years gone by, maybe you were right.

00:14:12.120 Maybe the vaccines were not as effective as it used to be.

00:14:16.940 Maybe I was wrong.

00:14:19.320 Every single Father's Day, I'm reminded of it, and it's tough, man.

00:14:22.700 So all the millennial followers out there, do your thing.

00:14:27.880 Times are tough.

00:14:28.860 Stay strong, guys.

00:14:30.000 Anthony, I love you, man.

00:14:31.000 I've been listening to you since opening anything.

00:14:32.920 You're a great buddy.

00:14:33.640 I love you.

00:14:34.000 The old days.

00:14:34.720 Thanks a lot, Mike.

00:14:35.680 Have a good one.

00:14:36.540 Hopefully you could mend that.

00:14:39.760 Like I said, you get one family.

00:14:43.500 You get one family.

00:14:44.440 And I understand there are certain things that happen in a family where it's just over.

00:14:50.660 You know, some people, you try and try and try to help them, and they're just hopeless.

00:14:56.700 They will not listen to advice.

00:14:58.560 They will not take real help.

00:15:01.860 And sometimes you do have to cut them loose.

00:15:04.740 But more times than not, it's some really inconsequential squabble that happened.

00:15:12.160 and then you hear oh i haven't spoken to that person in in years my brother my sister things

00:15:17.560 like that and uh that's just a sad thing because i guarantee you there will come a time when that

00:15:26.640 person ain't going to be around you're going to go ah man maybe maybe we should have worked

00:15:32.300 something out uh i don't know you know it's it's up to everyone as individuals some people can

00:15:38.520 carry a grudge other people are a little more um lenient but uh as far as family goes you got to

00:15:47.300 do everything you can to uh to keep that uh in line and and make sure you have strong family

00:15:54.600 bonds especially with your dad you know because every year father's day rolls around and it's a

00:16:03.340 constant reminder um if if you had a uh have a father that's passed away and you were on bad

00:16:10.460 terms and that was it every year and a couple of times a year because you're going to think about

00:16:16.140 uh them on their birthday and and whatnot but um what a morbid uh father's day show i'm having here

00:16:24.520 it's just why can't it be a happy fun-filled uh father's day i don't know i don't know

00:16:33.880 that's just how it goes we'll take one more scott from venice florida what's up scott

00:16:39.160 hey i'll be able to call you and we'll just joke around about movies and then that'll be

00:16:45.000 the phone call but society doesn't let us do that no um i wanted to ask you so many cultures

00:16:53.320 in this world they seem to when they you know they settle they get married have kids they focus

00:17:00.940 on making their kids lives better their grandkids lives better except for a few certain cultures 0.90

00:17:07.020 that don't seem to really care about the future of their kids or their grandkids

00:17:11.380 but yet all they talk about is we're about family we're all about family

00:17:16.520 yeah you gotta you gotta show that it's got to be proven through actions you can't just say it

00:17:22.800 and then you look around and see that there's no family structure there

00:17:27.960 or no cohesiveness with family.

00:17:31.040 Yeah, I've seen it.

00:17:32.760 I mean, I know your family, mostly Italian.

00:17:35.000 Mine, you know, Irish, French, and German.

00:17:38.380 All my dad, once he got married, his focus was making his kids' lives better

00:17:43.460 and potentially his grandkids' lives better

00:17:46.420 because he didn't want them to have to work as hard as he did.

00:17:48.700 yeah and every every family i've ever met has been like that with the exception of a few

00:17:55.060 from certain cultures and i don't understand how they can go about being like that and then they

00:18:02.020 expect some sort of different outcome it's really a saddening situation yeah it's a generational

00:18:08.100 issue you know i i'm online all the time and i see so many videos and you just see like young kids

00:18:15.460 really young kids and they're mimicking their parents or parent uh in a very bad way and i just

00:18:25.020 look at that and go well that's another generation worth of time that we're gonna have to deal with

00:18:30.280 the same nonsense we're dealing with so uh yeah not a good thing it would be much easier for

00:18:36.240 everybody if there was some kind of family unit there uh but not so much scott thanks man and uh

00:18:42.960 I've got to take this one.

00:18:44.180 One more, of course, my buddy Chauncey Hayden.

00:18:47.120 Chauncey is in Ireland.

00:18:50.100 You might remember Chauncey.

00:18:51.900 He used to be a guest on the Howard Stern Show a lot.

00:18:55.020 What's up, Chauncey?

00:18:56.180 Yep.

00:18:56.900 Yep.

00:18:57.480 Big, big fan over here in Monaghan, Ireland.

00:19:00.980 It's 1.30 in the morning here, but you're worth staying up for.

00:19:04.640 I love the show.

00:19:05.920 I think it's one of the best, if not the best, on radio.

00:19:09.120 Thank you, buddy.

00:19:09.980 Keep up the good work.

00:19:11.620 Keep up the good work.

00:19:12.400 So, yeah, Father's Day, you know, I think a lot of my story.

00:19:19.140 Father's Day is a very special day for me.

00:19:22.400 I was kind of a notorious gossip reporter, you might recall, back in the day.

00:19:31.320 Yeah, you recall.

00:19:34.920 But I don't know how much I can say on radio,

00:19:38.880 But I was a 53-year-old man, alcoholic, drug addict, and tearing up, you know, the gossip pages.

00:19:48.980 And I got a 19-year-old girl from Ireland pregnant.

00:19:54.660 And you can't even make this up.

00:19:59.760 So at 53, you don't think you're going to become a father.

00:20:03.840 You know, it's the last thing on your mind.

00:20:07.000 Right. 1.00

00:20:07.360 She got pregnant.

00:20:08.940 I was, the first thing I did is lock my number, you know, run for the hills.

00:20:15.820 Oh, you're trying to bail.

00:20:17.540 Yeah.

00:20:19.040 But it gets better.

00:20:20.760 So I think I dodged the bullet.

00:20:23.220 She went back to Ireland and I kind of forgot about it.

00:20:27.220 Nine months later.

00:20:28.620 Oh, by the way, I'm married.

00:20:30.080 So nine months later, my wife says, who do you know in Dublin?

00:20:35.040 Oh, no.

00:20:35.780 And I'm like, I don't know anybody in Dublin.

00:20:38.780 I go, open up the letter, and it's pictures of my daughter being born.

00:20:43.940 Yikes.

00:20:45.540 So you had to step up, Chance.

00:20:47.820 Because I'm running out of time here.

00:20:49.280 We're going into a break.

00:20:50.580 But you had to step up, so you did.

00:20:54.440 Now I'm a dad.

00:20:55.540 So I came to Ireland, bought a one-way ticket.

00:20:57.660 I live in Monaghan now, and it's the most important day of my life, Father's Day.

00:21:02.800 It probably saved your own life because you were on quite the path there, my friend.

00:21:08.980 It saved my life.

00:21:10.740 It sure did.

00:21:11.580 It sure did.

00:21:12.380 Yep.

00:21:12.580 I got to bail out for a break.

00:21:14.720 But, Chaunce, thanks for giving me a call.

00:21:16.580 Thanks for listening.

00:21:17.560 And get some sleep.

00:21:19.320 Take it easy, buddy.

00:21:20.880 Here goes Chauncey.

00:21:22.580 Yep.

00:21:23.280 Yeah, sometimes the kids wind up saving the parent.

00:21:27.580 All right, we'll be right back.

00:21:28.800 Don't go anywhere.

00:21:29.620 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on this Father's Day.

00:21:32.800 And, boy, we had a holiday on Friday, of course, Juneteenth.

00:21:40.080 I hope everyone had a wonderful Juneteenth.

00:21:42.280 But Chicago, under, of course, the amazing mayor, Brandon Johnson,

00:21:49.700 just another insane weekend of gunfire and death and injury.

00:21:59.640 and a mayor that refuses, just outright refuses to do anything about it,

00:22:08.640 anything of real substance.

00:22:10.300 He's got plenty of ideas.

00:22:13.460 None of them have done anything to curtail the carnage that goes on

00:22:19.860 on a weekly basis in Chicago.

00:22:23.060 We're not even done yet.

00:22:25.000 Technically, not technically, Sunday is.

00:22:28.580 It is a weekend.

00:22:29.640 day so uh what's in store for chicago this evening to get those numbers up 35 shot five dead

00:22:39.740 in uh weekend violence in chicago and it is astounding to me that this mayor has not been

00:22:50.980 arrested gross negligence of duty resulting in death or uh or physical harm grave physical harm

00:23:05.120 if you do your job if you have a job to do and through your negligence somebody dies

00:23:13.060 at the very least there's a civil suit but in many many cases if negligence can be proven

00:23:20.500 you can go to jail you're a construction worker you neglected to do something on that job site

00:23:29.100 someone gets hurt or killed you have some responsibility in that how does a mayor

00:23:35.220 who is given the job of uh part of their job is to keep your people in your city safe

00:23:44.700 you have tools to do this the police department the judicial system have all these things in place

00:23:53.600 and you refuse to use them to keep your people in your city safe and people wind up getting killed

00:24:02.860 and injured constantly at an insane rate and nothing happens to you you you get

00:24:10.640 behind that podium and you give your speeches

00:24:14.240 like everything's going great.

00:24:16.620 You tell people your ideas and your plans

00:24:19.700 that you'll put into action

00:24:20.820 that are supposed to take care of these issues

00:24:24.680 and they do not take care of them.

00:24:28.100 And in a case like Brandon Johnson,

00:24:30.580 Mayor Johnson in Chicago,

00:24:33.360 I see criminal liability in this guy.

00:24:39.180 He is responsible, criminally, because he refuses to do what needs to be done.

00:24:45.360 Allow the police to do their job. 0.98

00:24:48.840 Don't worry so much that you're going to lose your street cred because you're a black mayor. 0.90

00:24:55.880 And a lot of these teen takeovers and gang shootings, there was a mass shooting. 0.94

00:25:04.060 Twelve people were shot in Chicago in one shooting.

00:25:09.180 Drive-by shooting this weekend, Friday night. 0.96

00:25:13.960 Happy Juneteenth.

00:25:15.540 And this guy just refuses to do anything about it

00:25:20.500 because he doesn't want to lose that credibility he has

00:25:24.120 through nothing more than skin color.

00:25:27.360 Do what needs to be done. 0.94

00:25:28.460 You know what?

00:25:28.840 I guarantee you there would be so many residents,

00:25:33.680 black residents of Chicago, that would love it

00:25:37.000 if you made their neighborhoods a little safer 0.89

00:25:39.540 instead of having gangs roving around

00:25:44.040 that have complete control of the streets

00:25:46.820 and a horrible control of their firearms

00:25:51.060 because they're constantly hitting grandma or a little kid.

00:25:56.220 And he doesn't do anything about it.

00:25:58.740 Here's the story.

00:26:00.680 AC-14 is the story about the shootings

00:26:05.140 over the course of the weekend so far in Chicago.

00:26:08.240 This was supposed to be a joyous time.

00:26:10.500 Neighbors say many people had gathered to celebrate Juneteenth

00:26:13.660 when things took a violent turn.

00:26:17.700 Surveillance video capturing what appears to be a barrage of gunfire.

00:26:21.920 Shortly after, you see people running for cover.

00:26:24.660 Chicago police were called to 95th in Princeton

00:26:26.980 after a mass shooting around 11 Friday night

00:26:29.800 in the city's Princeton Park neighborhood.

00:26:32.480 At least 13 people were injured.

00:26:34.620 244 West 95th Street. I need crowd control.

00:26:38.300 Chicago police say a red SUV pulled up to a large crowd.

00:26:42.780 Investigators say two suspects began shooting from inside the car before taking off.

00:26:47.180 There's approximately 25 shell casings, both rifle and pistol rounds, from 243 West 95th all the way to the Emerald Block on Princeton.

00:26:56.540 The victim's ages range from 17 to 47 years old and were taken to different hospitals.

00:27:02.220 A 26-year-old man was last listed in critical condition.

00:27:06.800 The majority of the victims are expected to recover from their injuries.

00:27:10.660 All of a sudden, you hear this loud, I can hear the rapid fire of gunfire.

00:27:18.440 And I said, oh no, it can't be.

00:27:21.720 It can't be? It happens all the time.

00:27:24.640 You hear the sirens.

00:27:25.920 Michael Blount was home at the time of the shooting.

00:27:28.240 He says he's disappointed it happened at a time when people were looking to celebrate the holiday.

00:27:33.860 It was a shame that it happened on Juneteenth.

00:27:38.340 That's what's supposed to be about, celebration, not what just happened.

00:27:42.880 You know, that was just purely wrong.

00:27:45.100 A motive for the shooting is unclear.

00:27:47.320 Police have not made any arrests.

00:27:49.640 Alderman Anthony Beal, who represents the 9th Ward, saying in part,

00:27:53.440 In a matter of seconds, an ordinary summer night was shattered by gunfire.

00:27:58.240 No one should have to wonder if they or someone they love will make it home safely.

00:28:03.820 Yeah, no one should have to wonder that.

00:28:05.960 Unless, of course, you have a mayor like Brandon Johnson, who refuses to do anything about this carnage.

00:28:13.500 No, no motive.

00:28:15.820 Really?

00:28:16.940 You think it might be gang related?

00:28:20.300 Call me crazy.

00:28:22.160 Am I really out on a limb here?

00:28:24.360 am i speculating a little too much to say that a drive-by shooting with rifle and pistol uh

00:28:32.240 shooting into a crowd may have been gang related interesting i'll have to look into that

00:28:39.120 and uh well thank god no one was killed but boy that's a lot of injuries that is a lot of injuries

00:28:48.220 and again i i credit uh in some of these cases the idea that so many people are shot and

00:28:54.300 so few are actually killed these days i think a lot of it is the amazing uh trauma centers that

00:29:02.020 chicago has these guys uh came from some of these doctors were medics in actual wars so they're used

00:29:11.000 to you know bodies uh shredded ripped apart by gunfire and uh they know how to patch these uh

00:29:18.020 people up but do something mayor johnson he uh well he posted he posted a couple of things on

00:29:27.400 social media he's heartbroken because i am heartbroken by the violence in princeton park

00:29:34.580 last night what should have been a night of celebration and community reflection

00:29:39.260 for juneteenth was shattered by a horrific act of violence my thoughts and prayers thoughts and

00:29:46.340 prayers everyone thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones uh his thoughts and

00:29:53.360 prayers shattered heartbroken but not enough not quite heartbroken enough to put curfews in place

00:30:02.740 to uh take help from the federal government like donald trump the national guard have them come

00:30:11.420 in there but pritzker won't allow that and uh do what needs to be done there is a terrible

00:30:19.780 problem with violence in certain areas of chicago i know it's not all of chicago but it's the usual

00:30:28.660 places the usual suspects a lot of gang related violence and uh this guy talks about the ymca

00:30:39.080 that's what that's what uh brandon johnson says oh we'll we'll open up the ymcas at night

00:30:47.840 so these kids can go to the ymca instead of being out on the street committing uh violence

00:30:54.520 do you think these gang members give a crap about the ymca that they're they go there because they 0.94

00:31:02.640 don't have something else to do they have stuff to do going out and shooting uh their ops yo 0.98

00:31:09.740 shooting other gang members from other gangs they're not going to give up the life

00:31:16.200 i'm in the game they're not giving up the game for for ymca

00:31:20.860 they need the police to constantly be rousting them stop and frisk say goodbye to your gun

00:31:31.900 and you're going to jail and we will prosecute.

00:31:36.460 That's how you deal with this.

00:31:38.480 We saw it happen in New York City under Giuliani

00:31:42.060 and his various police commissioners over the course of his tenure

00:31:46.640 as mayor of New York City did the job they needed to do.

00:31:51.220 And New York went from a horribly violent place

00:31:55.060 under the Dinkins administration

00:31:57.000 to amazing that it's such a large city, New York,

00:32:02.420 and had such a low number of yearly murders.

00:32:07.280 And that is because the mayor was doing his job

00:32:11.340 and using the resources he had available, his police department,

00:32:16.440 to do what needed to be done.

00:32:20.360 But, you know, Brendan Johnson looks at the streets of Chicago

00:32:25.560 and the gang members and the fact that they have guns on them

00:32:29.620 as some type of entitlement. 0.97

00:32:33.160 Oh, we can't go around stopping and frisking these young black males.

00:32:40.740 Oh, what would people think of me? 0.94

00:32:43.580 The mayor, the black mayor of Chicago, 0.90

00:32:46.260 and I'm putting the police out there to prey on our young people. 0.95

00:32:52.020 So instead of doing that, he'd rather have 35 shot and five dead by not doing what needs to be done.

00:33:04.240 Because there's really no other explanation for what's going on.

00:33:12.920 Why wouldn't you use the tools available to you to fix this problem?

00:33:17.940 he did also add i am proud profoundly grateful for the swift life-saving work of our chicago

00:33:27.880 police department medical professionals and the office of emergency management and communications

00:33:32.500 to support those effective uh affected cpd is opening an emergency assistance center in the

00:33:38.200 community uh i guess you're going to be able to go down there to the crisis assistance response

00:33:45.880 and engagement oh it spells care don't you love a good acronym uh the program remains fully active

00:33:53.060 and will begin canvassing the neighborhood on monday residents in need of mental health support

00:33:58.100 because you know your your neighborhood gets shot up and uh they give you a phone number

00:34:03.460 so you could talk to someone on the phone about the horror that you witnessed when people were

00:34:09.340 being mowed down by guns don't expect it to change though we'll give you the number to call so you

00:34:14.760 could talk to a shrink and go oh my god that was awful i saw horrible things blood and guts and

00:34:20.120 and then uh when you go outside again it'll just be business as usual because he won't

00:34:27.200 he will not have done anything to actually try to uh remedy remedy the problem uh john over here in

00:34:38.000 the bronx let's talk a little bit about brandon johnson john what's up man all right first time

00:34:43.760 caller there's um brandon johnson and i don't think the jail time would do anything for these

00:34:50.500 people they need to be humiliated they should go back to like singapore flogging you should be

00:34:56.780 flogged in the streets flogging yeah you know there's something to be said a lot less corruption

00:35:04.340 a lot less um uh bad jobs being done by politicians when they were brought out of their office and

00:35:11.300 flogged or put in those

00:35:13.340 the stocks you know

00:35:15.280 they put them in the center of town and put their head

00:35:17.280 and arms through the wood thing and then

00:35:19.220 throw cabbage at them

00:35:20.820 apparently back then there was a lot of rotten cabbage

00:35:23.460 I don't know why but you would lob

00:35:25.280 it at their faces a little

00:35:27.140 shame a little shame for a job horribly

00:35:29.320 done I like your

00:35:30.900 take there John

00:35:32.440 because

00:35:33.700 what's going to change

00:35:36.420 I guarantee they'll chalk up a few more

00:35:39.000 tonight and

00:35:40.980 johnson won't do anything uh he also was approached about holding the parents responsible

00:35:50.400 for these teen takeovers and uh here was his answer to that this is ac6 if you would please

00:35:59.540 play that clip know what criminalization does particularly for um you know more vulnerable

00:36:09.840 communities. It has not led to creating safer spaces. We have to do what works. So I'm going

00:36:16.360 to continue to call for the level of opportunity and investment. I don't think that you find the

00:36:20.940 poor as a means to fix a problem. And I'm unapologetic about saying that. Finding the

00:36:25.860 poor in poverty-stricken communities to fix a problem that is systemic, a problem that revolves

00:36:31.220 wraparound services, and a problem that will require for us to reimagine and reinvest the

00:36:37.400 neighborhoods from which these children are coming from see do you see he doesn't want to do

00:36:45.260 anything about it they wanted to fine the parents a thousand dollars if their kid is involved in one

00:36:52.920 of these teen takeovers now i don't know how much that would work but it's something kind of

00:36:59.400 proactive it's not opening the doors to the ymca thinking the kids are going to want to go down 0.60

00:37:06.400 there and uh play uh what checkers play uh uh trouble with the pop-o-matic what they're not 0.60

00:37:17.280 they want to do donuts in their cars and set uh stolen cars on fire and jump on top of them 0.72

00:37:25.100 in uh intersections of roadways in chicago that's a lot more fun than going to the the ymca

00:37:31.900 but it's illegal and you got to stop them from doing that and uh finding the parents first of

00:37:39.360 all you wouldn't see a dime of the money there wouldn't be one parent of one of these kids that

00:37:46.380 would actually go oh boy we're gonna have to pay a thousand dollars because junior decided he was

00:37:52.320 going to go out and uh do a teen takeover so that wouldn't really do much but making the parents

00:38:02.820 aware uh making the kids aware that what they're doing is illegal and there will be some consequence

00:38:09.180 for it that's a start because this guy won't do anything you never hear about any arrests being

00:38:16.540 made for pretty much anything in chicago there's a lot of shootings a lot of murder and uh when you

00:38:25.520 hear the story it's like well no suspect's been arrested we don't have a motive yeah everyone

00:38:31.820 keeps their yap shut they take care of uh all their business in-house gangs tend to do that

00:38:40.060 they don't run to the cops and give them a description of the assailant and the reason

00:38:45.460 and why they believe they fired into a crowd.

00:38:48.420 Within the next few days or weeks,

00:38:51.460 what you get is another shooting and another body

00:38:55.880 in retribution to what was done.

00:38:59.180 That's called a gang problem.

00:39:01.200 And as the mayor, that's your job.

00:39:03.620 That is your job to take care of that

00:39:06.080 and make sure that justice is swift and effective.

00:39:12.240 And this guy doesn't want to do anything

00:39:14.500 because perish the thought they look at him and see that they are of similar skin color

00:39:22.000 and that apparently is the most important thing in the world to Brandon Johnson is to make it look 0.53

00:39:27.780 like he's not holding people that are the same color as him responsible for some of the horrible

00:39:36.960 actions that are going on in uh in chicago that's more important to brandon johnson than

00:39:44.240 actually keeping those people in the community in the black communities safe he'd rather watch

00:39:52.460 them die than do something about it and come off like you know someone that's working uh for the 0.95

00:39:59.880 man trying to put more uh black brothers in jail you can't do that sometimes you have to 0.92

00:40:08.840 irregardless of what their color are irregardless i know it's not a real word from what i hear

00:40:14.280 all right don't go anywhere back in a moment the anthony cumia show let's go to joaquin

00:40:21.360 in pa pennsylvania and uh good evening good good evening always good to hear from you sir

00:40:30.200 Oh, I appreciate that.

00:40:31.380 Same from you, man.

00:40:32.560 As a matter of fact, the more you tell me about your father,

00:40:34.840 I really like the guy.

00:40:36.240 He was a blast, man.

00:40:38.340 I'm that cowboy.

00:40:40.060 If you saw, I wear stats in the cowboy boots the whole nine yards,

00:40:43.860 my six shooters, you know.

00:40:45.600 There you go.

00:40:46.740 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:40:48.040 Hey, you know who had the most classic potty mouth, though?

00:40:51.600 I meant to say this a while back. 1.00

00:40:54.000 It was Sandra.

00:40:55.860 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:57.020 she's uh she's actually on hold she's she's calling in yes yes we'll get to her at some

00:41:05.240 point but you know isn't it funny how that as a member of white western judeo-christian

00:41:10.100 civilization god forbid you go into one of these blue cities and you have yourself armed with a

00:41:15.720 firearm or a knife or anything of whatsoever and even new york city pepper spray or pepper ball

00:41:23.320 guns you can't carry anything in there yeah and so you're allowed to be victimized and they'll 0.94

00:41:30.160 throw your butt in the freaking clink you know to jail just for having something to defend yourself 0.74

00:41:36.000 when you have no intentions of doing it you know of doing anything illegal in the first place 0.99

00:41:41.080 yep there was some there was some instances in uh in new york city there were some instances

00:41:48.960 First of all, these these criminals that get caught with guns and then you read that they were let out, no bail or anything.

00:41:58.020 They're let out and they commit more crimes.

00:42:01.520 But I've heard many instances where people came from out of state.

00:42:05.640 They had a licensed firearm, but they didn't do their due diligence and homework about New York City in that they don't accept out of state firearms permits.

00:42:18.960 carry permits so if you uh are from ohio or where i'm from south carolina you cannot bring your gun

00:42:27.280 even if you're licensed into new york the entire state by the way there was a big deal a number of

00:42:33.820 years ago there was a black woman from philadelphia and she got a pennsylvania carry

00:42:39.120 permit which in pennsylvania is very easy to do you need to have a carry permit to have a pistol

00:42:43.880 But anyhow, she had a carry print, and she got caught in New Jersey.

00:42:47.260 She got pulled over, and she told the officer that she had a gun,

00:42:50.500 and the next thing you know, she got arrested.

00:42:51.880 But there was such a big hoopla over it that eventually, over the outcry,

00:42:56.520 you know, she got off. 1.00

00:42:58.040 But God forbid that she wasn't a black woman. 0.99

00:43:00.940 And even if you get caught with hollow-point ammunition and no gun in New Jersey, 1.00

00:43:04.800 as far as I understand, you could be in serious trouble.

00:43:07.220 Yeah, you're in big trouble.

00:43:08.480 There was a woman, I believe she was from Ohio.

00:43:10.880 They were in New York City visiting some of the memorials, the 9-11 memorial and the Empire State Building, you know, doing all the touristy stuff.

00:43:19.260 And there are metal detectors and security in these places.

00:43:22.400 You're not supposed to have a gun on you.

00:43:24.200 And the woman took one of the security guys aside and said, oh, I have my gun on me.

00:43:30.100 Do you have a place I could check it or something?

00:43:32.640 He goes, what do you mean?

00:43:34.420 What do you mean you have your gun?

00:43:35.280 And she showed him the permit from Ohio.

00:43:37.060 He goes, yeah, you can't have a gun here.

00:43:39.220 You're under arrest.

00:43:39.940 And that was, you know, even if they eventually see the light and don't convict you of it and drop the charges, the money and the time and the inconvenience that goes on while you're going to court, you got to get a lawyer.

00:44:01.460 they take your guns away until the the case is disposed of so uh but these these gang members

00:44:11.700 and criminals and thugs they get caught with a gun they're back out on the street within a few days

00:44:18.040 uh until they finally do kill someone or hurt someone really bad and then they go oh he was

00:44:24.900 known to the police oh yeah this guy he's got a record as long as your arm and you go well

00:44:31.440 Why weren't they treated like the person from Ohio or Tennessee or PA that went through the hoops

00:44:41.620 and went through all the legal obligations you've got to go through to get a gun?

00:44:46.380 But, again, they don't care about that.

00:44:49.120 They don't care.

00:44:49.800 No.

00:44:50.760 No, they don't.

00:44:51.400 And it's really very sickening.

00:44:54.000 And I really don't.

00:44:55.260 I mean, physically it's hard for me to travel anywhere anymore anyhow.

00:44:58.360 Now, I really don't want to go to any one of these places where I don't have the option to defend myself.

00:45:05.040 Yeah, it's terrible.

00:45:06.000 You feel naked.

00:45:07.040 I don't like that.

00:45:07.940 When I hop on a plane to go up to New York and I've got to leave my pistola down here, I get off the plane.

00:45:15.500 What's your favorite?

00:45:17.560 For my carry, it's usually just the Walter 380.

00:45:23.660 It's good, especially in the summer.

00:45:25.440 You don't have a lot of clothing on.

00:45:26.900 And I don't like it printed on my shirt or anything.

00:45:29.860 So I like carrying concealed, even though you can carry open.

00:45:34.180 But I don't like that.

00:45:36.380 Yeah, I have a beautiful, I have a nice little .38 Taurus revolver.

00:45:40.460 And out of all the guns I have, I have 1911, .45 ACPs.

00:45:44.880 Yeah, yeah.

00:45:46.740 No, the wheel gun is very dependable there, Joaquin.

00:45:50.200 Very dependable gun.

00:45:52.180 A good caliber.

00:45:53.500 It's going to stop the guy.

00:45:54.660 so yeah uh that's that's that's a good one i got a bolt joaquin thank you for uh the call

00:46:01.780 i do appreciate it uh yeah you just feel like and it shouldn't be that way i know you know

00:46:10.080 states rights i get it but states laws are not supposed to infringe on your rights

00:46:18.320 that are recognized by the Constitution.

00:46:23.000 It shouldn't infringe on those rights.

00:46:27.860 And then they go reasonable regulation.

00:46:30.420 How is it reasonable regulation

00:46:32.960 that I cannot exercise my Second Amendment right

00:46:39.060 in New York State?

00:46:41.040 I can't do it.

00:46:42.280 I'm legally not allowed to do

00:46:45.760 what i am legally allowed to do in south carolina carry uh a gun and and somehow

00:46:52.740 reasonable regulation is to completely take away my right my second amendment right

00:47:01.120 and they don't look at that like a state infringing on your rights as an american

00:47:06.860 crazy take the first amendment that way would that ever wash reasonable uh restrictions

00:47:15.680 and regulations to what you can say and then you drive from one state to another and now what

00:47:23.740 oh i i can't say anything because i'm uh i'm breaking the law all right back in a minute

00:50:11.880 What about that reflecting pool? 0.93

00:50:14.660 Holy mother of God.

00:50:16.580 It's like the most important thing on the news.

00:50:20.300 You know, the mainstream media doesn't want to hit on real stories.

00:50:24.140 They don't want to have to go against an agenda or talk about Iran or talk about Dr. Fauci being involved in that Wuhan lab.

00:50:40.480 No, they don't want to talk about that.

00:50:42.500 They don't want to talk about the supposedly 250,000 girls that were sexually assaulted by migrants in the UK.

00:50:52.140 oh please don't bring that up we want to talk about algae in the reflecting pool like it's

00:51:02.300 the the biggest story uh ever i will say this here's my my take on it uh good you know the

00:51:16.220 the intent was there i think donald trump likes the idea of our statues and and architecture

00:51:24.440 especially such classic architecture that they have in washington dc the marble the fountains

00:51:32.360 a lot of these fountains have been shut off for quite some time they they have graffiti on them

00:51:38.420 they're they've been damaged and uh he's like let's bring it back let's make it look nice

00:51:44.180 so he's been refurbishing some of these monuments and whatnot and then the reflecting pool was all

00:51:51.780 green and algae and the bottom was cracked it was leaking water so good intentions he goes in

00:52:01.260 you hire some people let's fix the cracks let's put some kind of a liner on the bottom and then

00:52:10.460 let's paint it in a color that will be reflective in kind of a blue tint and uh there you go

00:52:18.680 well it doesn't seem to have worked out it happens you know you get shoddy workmanship

00:52:27.540 maybe these contractors weren't good maybe that and and it costs a lot of money i don't know why

00:52:32.820 but uh what did they say 14 million and it's just it it has turned out to be a cluster f

00:52:43.420 as they call it uh not a good look but things like this happen and so what not so what but

00:52:52.780 it's not the biggest thing we have to worry about in this country and they're making you know every

00:52:59.620 little thing that happens they make it seem like it's uh that's the reason we need to throw trump

00:53:05.160 out because he hired some people to fix the reflecting pool and now the paint's coming up and

00:53:10.640 ducks are dying and and they're pouring uh chemicals in it and it happens it happens

00:53:20.980 whoops-a-daisy and it it does look like this is just was was done very poorly i don't blame

00:53:29.400 Trump, I don't remember seeing him out there with a trowel or a paintbrush doing the work

00:53:37.220 himself, but, you know, he is the last man standing as far as responsibility goes.

00:53:46.720 The buck stops here kind of a thing, so he is responsible for it, but who, whoops, do

00:53:56.740 it again hire someone else drain it again scrape it up and and make it work this time i don't know

00:54:07.240 then i hear there are some kind of filters in there a bubbler a micro bubbler i guess they

00:54:15.540 can't have big bubbles because that makes waves and it defeats the purpose of it reflecting the

00:54:21.120 Water's got to be pretty still to give that iconic reflection

00:54:26.200 of the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.

00:54:29.280 But it just seems like it's busted.

00:54:33.780 It seems like something ain't working.

00:54:36.800 And whatever work was done wasn't done in an effective manner.

00:54:45.640 So that's my take.

00:54:47.440 uh and it's got trump's name on it so what are you gonna do i'm sure with with things like iran

00:54:55.960 and the economy and fuel prices and everything i i bet it's not weighing on him all that much

00:55:04.340 so but the usual suspects the left the democrats they're all making it seem like it's the biggest

00:55:11.060 catastrophe that could possibly uh happen i'll tell you what the biggest catastrophe that could

00:55:16.980 have happened to our country is and that would have been a kamala harris presidency i i hear a

00:55:24.300 lot of people i read a lot of things on social media from people and some people on the right

00:55:30.500 some former trump supporters uh say they wish they would have voted for kamala harris instead

00:55:38.360 of trump they're so angry with trump over iran and uh his uh his relationship and partnership

00:55:49.900 in war with israel a lot of people are mad at that uh maybe even the reflecting poll but

00:55:56.420 to to think you you would sit there having cast your vote for trump a couple of years ago and now

00:56:05.400 you're thinking maybe camilla harris would have been a a better alternative are you out of your 1.00

00:56:13.340 mind every so often people need a stark reminder of what a blithering idiot this woman is how she 1.00

00:56:26.820 has nothing going on in her head there is just it is empty and and sometimes people forget 1.00

00:56:36.640 and what do they what do they imagine a kamala harris presidency would have looked like

00:56:43.160 that they would go oh i wish i voted for her instead of trump do imagine there wasn't one day

00:56:53.620 where the influx of criminals and illegals invading our borders wasn't stopped.

00:57:03.820 Not for a day.

00:57:04.920 From the Biden administration to the Harris administration,

00:57:08.440 it was nonstop more and more every day.

00:57:14.440 We have a hard enough time trying to kick them out now.

00:57:18.000 That would have been it.

00:57:20.220 There would be 100 million.

00:57:23.620 instead of what looks to be 50.

00:57:26.500 Who knows?

00:57:27.600 They don't even know how many.

00:57:29.740 But it's a lot, and it ain't good.

00:57:32.660 So picture that.

00:57:34.620 Picture that just nonstop.

00:57:38.180 And then your tax dollars.

00:57:41.180 Your tax dollars, you know, $14 million for the reflecting pool.

00:57:44.600 Yeah, I get it.

00:57:45.840 You'd hope that it would work.

00:57:48.020 But I would take a try at fixing the reflecting pool,

00:57:52.000 than spending $15 million on giving luxury hotel rooms 1.00

00:57:56.280 to illegal aliens in this country

00:57:59.380 because that's what we were seeing under Biden.

00:58:03.680 You couldn't get a room in New York City

00:58:06.680 under $500 a night because there were no rooms. 1.00

00:58:13.660 They were all taken up with illegals. 1.00

00:58:15.260 The government's putting the bill. 1.00

00:58:17.540 So the hotels loved having them in there.

00:58:21.960 A guaranteed money coming in from the government 1.00

00:58:29.120 for you just putting illegals in your place.

00:58:33.040 And then the hotels that weren't putting up illegals,

00:58:36.540 you'd go in there and they would charge you $500 a night 0.85

00:58:39.420 to stay at a two- or three-star hotel in New York City.

00:58:44.060 Yeah, I'd rather they try to fix the reflecting pool

00:58:47.160 with $14 million than that. 1.00

00:58:49.320 Just imagine a Kamala Harris presidency.

00:58:53.120 When we come back from the break, I have a couple of clips.

00:58:56.980 She was doing an interview with Don Lemon, this scholar, the brilliant, wonderful Don Lemon.

00:59:07.740 And she, like I said, sometimes we just need a reminder.

00:59:12.860 She's got to crawl out of the woodwork, 1.00

00:59:14.660 and we need to hear the idiotic stuff that comes out of her yap, 1.00

00:59:21.940 and we'll listen to that next. 1.00

00:59:24.480 Stick around.

00:59:25.500 The Anthony Cumia Show, and talking about Kamala Harris,

00:59:29.100 it looks like she wants to, what do they say, 1.00

00:59:32.000 throw her hat into the ring for 2028. 1.00

00:59:35.700 um i the only way she was able to get on that ticket during the the uh 2024 presidential race

00:59:51.880 was through some insanity biden was in no condition they couldn't even drag him over

01:00:00.020 the finish line from the last debate with trump till election day however many months that was

01:00:07.100 we knew we knew the set we knew way before that but right after that uh that debate it was over

01:00:15.100 done goodbye and instead of uh maybe having the people tell him to back out earlier so they could

01:00:24.340 get a viable candidate in there having a primary uh even having a meeting sitting down and go who

01:00:32.960 should we who should we anoint with um the the ticket they they just gave it to camilla harris

01:00:41.040 this is the same woman that when she was running for president she had to drop out of the race 0.98

01:00:47.560 before Iowa, before the Iowa caucus, because nobody wanted to support her.

01:00:53.200 She had no support. 1.00

01:00:55.400 No one likes this woman. 1.00

01:00:57.140 No one believes in this woman in a leadership capacity. 1.00

01:01:01.580 And Barack Obama, to tell you how full of crap he is, 0.99

01:01:04.560 said she is the most qualified person who has ever run for president. 0.99

01:01:11.380 Take every single president we've ever had from George Washington up to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is the most qualified person running for president as far as Barack Obama said during that nightmare campaign she put on.

01:01:36.920 Remember that one?

01:01:38.340 Why are the prices so high?

01:01:40.700 Why are egg prices high?

01:01:42.600 What are you going to do to try to bring down the price of groceries for Americans?

01:01:46.680 Well, what it is, it was a price gouge in the stores, a price gouge.

01:01:52.380 Remember, she would go around and that was her answer to the insane inflation going on during the Biden administration and asked what she's going to do.

01:02:01.980 she blamed what a bunch of grocery store owners got together in a room and concocted some plan

01:02:09.860 to price gouge that was her answer and then that at least that one you were able to understand

01:02:18.240 for the most part she rambles on and babbles word salad they called it uh many times so here is 0.96

01:02:28.060 kamala harris like i said if anyone needs a reminder of what a kamala harris presidency

01:02:32.640 would have looked like uh ac 12 is the clip this is her talking about hope and i gotta tell you

01:02:42.000 i cannot stand hope not you know literally i mean hope has its place but the democrats

01:02:52.620 use it constantly because it's just a filler word you if you have nothing but hope uh then you're

01:03:03.580 not doing something you're being lazy you could have hope you could hope for a miracle and you're

01:03:10.080 pretty powerless to do anything about that you just sit and hope if you hope that you you could

01:03:16.320 get a job well get dressed shower you know not in that order i would shower first then get dressed

01:03:24.840 and uh pound the pavement as they say fill out applications that that's what you do

01:03:34.740 while you're hoping that you get a job is to actively seek a job so many of these democrat 0.94

01:03:42.580 liberal ass heads they use that word hope like it's magic and that the democrats are there

01:03:51.860 hoping right along with you hope means nothing without a concerted effort to solve whatever 0.96

01:04:01.040 problem you hope gets solved but they've just worn their constituents down to the point where

01:04:10.060 It's like, well, you won't get anything out of us, but we're hoping right there with you. 0.98

01:04:13.820 So here's Kamala Harris talking to that imbecile Don Lemon about hope. 0.98

01:04:20.360 AC12, let's listen. 0.99

01:04:22.260 I really, truly believe this.

01:04:23.820 We each have light inside of us.

01:04:27.460 What?

01:04:28.400 And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves.

01:04:34.320 What?

01:04:34.680 And when we feel that and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead let that light kind of carry us in particular through moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other.

01:04:56.300 and in particular at this moment it is so important that we not only have hope but that

01:05:06.060 we understand that that should be a verb a verb

01:05:10.380 holy god is she just too much thank you madam president imagine you still want to you know

01:05:25.760 You're still wishing you voted for her? 0.99

01:05:29.720 She was just babbling about hope.

01:05:33.440 We all have a light inside us.

01:05:35.900 Do we?

01:05:37.360 What, did you swallow a little flashlight?

01:05:40.860 What is that, photons coming out of your liver?

01:05:43.440 Where is light?

01:05:46.980 That hope, the light, that is the hope.

01:05:51.000 oh so done her rambling babble so uh i guess don lemon asked her about preparing i guess

01:06:05.600 uh he asked about her thought process oh boy when deciding to run for president in 2028

01:06:16.400 Now, is she going to run for president in 2028?

01:06:19.440 I don't know. 0.90

01:06:20.120 But Don Lemon asked her what that thought process is.

01:06:23.320 And if you can make anything of this scrambled dog feces, I don't know.

01:06:31.780 Let me know.

01:06:32.380 Give me a call.

01:06:33.280 800-848-9222. 0.51

01:06:35.980 Here she is.

01:06:36.920 It's AC-13.

01:06:38.680 You've talked about that you're thinking about running for president, right?

01:06:42.260 How is that thought process going?

01:06:44.340 What's the process in that? And I know you're on a listening tour, and I'm curious what you're hearing from people as you've gone around the country.

01:06:52.340 What people are telling you that maybe you've learned that you didn't know before the process of doing so?

01:07:00.920 What people are telling me includes that they want to believe in systems.

01:07:11.240 What?

01:07:11.620 And they've lost trust in those systems.

01:07:13.600 Systems. What I hear a lot is that people know that at the end of this administration, there will be a lot of debris.

01:07:27.120 Debris?

01:07:27.720 I tell them often, I can't guarantee that it won't get worse before it gets better.

01:07:33.560 But the one thing I do know is at the end of it, there will be a lot of debris.

01:07:36.860 and it would be irresponsible to then address that in a way that we only talk about what should we do,

01:07:45.140 what do we need to do to rebuild, if we do that with any sense of nostalgia.

01:07:50.140 Why are you talking about?

01:07:52.200 That would be irresponsible.

01:07:53.660 The status quo is not working for a lot of people.

01:07:59.940 And what the people are telling us is that they want things to be better.

01:08:06.860 and in some places what that sounds like is we want that to be broken but they don't actually

01:08:16.200 necessarily mean break it through destruction what but they do mean it has to be better

01:08:23.880 madam president thank you for those words of wisdom

01:08:34.100 oh my god that was babble all right suck on that for a while back in a moment 0.67

01:08:44.700 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network 0.97

01:08:50.400 the anthony cumia show we're going to upstate new york to speak with

01:08:56.880 don is that don on the phone where are those pictures i was supposed to see

01:09:01.920 Hi, I'm Casey Kasem.

01:09:04.500 What's up, Don?

01:09:07.480 Yeah, a word salad is too good for what Kamala talks about.

01:09:12.540 It should be more of a word maze.

01:09:15.460 Yeah, it's like a hedge maze from The Shining or something.

01:09:19.880 Exactly, and you have to figure out what she's trying to say

01:09:23.660 and how to get there with what words. 0.95

01:09:25.520 yeah because she doesn't have the ability to speak quickly concisely a well thought out

01:09:33.980 um idea that she might have so she's got to go well i know in particular that certain people

01:09:44.160 in my circles that i have spoken with on numerous occasions and you're like she's not saying

01:09:51.100 anything she's going around and around and around trying to formulate an answer to a question she 1.00

01:09:59.000 was asked and then she forgets what the hell she was even asked uh she's a dimwit she's not a smart 0.98

01:10:06.440 woman and um again thank god uh beyonce and jay-z and bruce springsteen and all the people that 1.00

01:10:16.600 were up on stage playing shows before her speeches

01:10:20.660 and at these support rallies and events. 0.99

01:10:24.700 Didn't amount to crap. 0.96

01:10:27.760 I loved it. 0.99

01:10:31.660 Yes, Don.

01:10:32.740 They're all about the dollars.

01:10:35.780 If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense.

01:10:38.520 Am I right, Don?

01:10:39.920 There you go.

01:10:40.760 Thank you, sir.

01:10:42.000 Just crazy.

01:10:43.820 Oh, Camilla.

01:10:46.600 Oh, my God.

01:10:48.160 I guess the latest conspiracy about the reflecting pool, Kevin O'Brien, he's on X.

01:10:58.580 If you want to comment on the show and you can't get through on the phones, Anthony Cumia on X.

01:11:04.020 I check it through commercial breaks and whatnot, and I may even read your comment like I'm going to read Kevin's right now.

01:11:10.140 breaking news and turns out the reflecting pool was contaminated by a former olympian and four

01:11:16.360 others by pouring a corrosive liquid into the pool which caused the discoloration so it was

01:11:21.660 sabotage oh no i'm a victim of sabotage with the sole purpose of making the president look like a 0.86

01:11:28.600 fool please update well there you go kevin um the people have been updated with your your comment 0.98

01:11:36.860 there uh of course there's some conspiratorial nonsense going on i wouldn't doubt it the left 0.99

01:11:45.600 has proven themselves to be destructive uh pieces of garbage um they'd rather something not work 0.99

01:11:54.620 they'd rather something be broken or uh they they really do live by cutting off their nose 0.99

01:12:02.840 despite their face so many things could be better but they insist on making them worse because

01:12:11.660 it's trump they need trump to have been a terrible president that couldn't get anything right and

01:12:18.720 couldn't get jobs done so they will make sure that that uh that that happens um did this happen

01:12:27.440 Did they put corrosive chemicals in the reflecting pool?

01:12:31.520 I don't know.

01:12:32.800 You would think they could test for that kind of thing, maybe.

01:12:36.960 I think Trump was up in the air.

01:12:39.460 He was in Marine One, high above the reflecting pool this weekend,

01:12:46.580 getting his own bird's-eye view of what was going on.

01:12:51.460 So it's just, I don't think it's all that important.

01:12:55.560 I really don't.

01:12:57.440 I don't think it's very important. 0.97

01:12:59.820 It sucks. 0.97

01:13:00.580 It would be nice. 0.98

01:13:01.620 Crystal clear, reflecting pool,

01:13:04.040 especially with the 250th birthday of America coming up,

01:13:09.260 the capital of the United States,

01:13:11.820 the fanfare, the fireworks, the laser shows, all that.

01:13:15.540 And then you got this stinky algae pool.

01:13:19.340 It would be nice, but it's not the end of the world.

01:13:23.280 Can we agree on that?

01:13:24.480 i'll tell you some uh a world leader that is in a little more dutch and could be on his way out

01:13:33.640 really looks like it is is uh kier starmer the uh uk a prime minister he's the big boss over there

01:13:43.000 um and it looks like tomorrow he's he's announced a uh meeting and he's going to give a speech

01:13:52.640 and everyone even donald trump put out a post about it says he's dunsky just gone this guy um

01:14:02.280 and and politics over there is really strange you could just get rid of someone

01:14:09.860 anytime i like that idea that seems kind of a good idea if someone's not doing a good job that

01:14:18.420 You could just kind of throw him out or force him to retire.

01:14:22.120 His party, you know, the Labour Party,

01:14:24.560 I hate when they put that U in the words that don't have a U in it.

01:14:30.700 Callor.

01:14:32.420 Oh, Labour.

01:14:34.940 I don't know why they do that. 1.00

01:14:36.280 Speak English, you dumb England. 0.99

01:14:39.800 So it looks like he's going to be done tomorrow. 0.99

01:14:44.780 But then other people are saying that he is dedicated to the job.

01:14:49.180 I think he's gone.

01:14:51.020 And this guy has done so much damage to the U.K., not alone.

01:14:56.360 He's had his help.

01:14:59.260 But not cracking down on immigration has alienated him and his party

01:15:07.940 from a lot of people over in the U.K. 1.00

01:15:11.360 there have been horrific crimes committed by people from third world countries that have gone 0.99

01:15:21.420 over to the uk and just set up camp they set up their own little third world country right there

01:15:28.080 in the united kingdom and uh with that comes uh violent crime sexual assaults of women children

01:15:37.140 and uh no one including starmer wanted to do a damn thing about it and and god help you

01:15:47.120 the citizens of the united kingdom that went on social media or went to a protest and voiced 0.95

01:15:54.860 their displeasure with these uh immigrants that were wreaking havoc on the citizens of the uk 0.99

01:16:02.140 because they would arrest you that horrible story of that uh young man that was stabbed 0.99

01:16:10.640 by um an immigrant from a third world country and the police came running over

01:16:19.560 and the guy that stabbed the young man said oh he was racist to me he said racist things

01:16:27.280 and while this kid was bleeding out on the street the cops cuffed him and would not listen to his

01:16:34.280 begging for help because he really couldn't breathe not george floyd can't breathe he really

01:16:41.340 couldn't breathe and um you know was anything said from starmer and the likes anything said

01:16:50.580 about this report that 250,000 young women

01:16:55.040 in the United Kingdom have been sexually assaulted 1.00

01:16:57.420 by these migrants that have come over to England 1.00

01:17:01.180 legally and illegally. 1.00

01:17:03.380 But just opening the gates, allowing an influx of people 0.99

01:17:08.800 that don't know how to function in a once civil society

01:17:13.940 like the United Kingdom.

01:17:16.120 So that hasn't bode well for Starmer.

01:17:20.580 prime minister starmer and it looks like he's out but again the politics are so weird over there

01:17:25.980 they'll just put another guy from the labor party uh into that spot and it looks like they got a guy

01:17:35.640 already already lined up to go in there burnham this guy uh the times newspaper reported on

01:17:45.860 saturday saturday that burnham would sack finance minister rachel reeves i love how they say that

01:17:52.560 oh i've been sacked oh no that's fired to us american people if you've been sacked

01:18:00.020 um yeah so they'll just put another guy from the label a party in there so i don't know what it'll

01:18:07.380 do i don't know if anything changes it seems like um like if they would have taken biden out

01:18:15.280 and put harris in it just would have continued being the same garbage they really need a a staunch

01:18:24.420 right winger to take over the reins over there and do what needs to be done you know we're in 0.96

01:18:31.240 the same boat here we have a lot of liberal democrats in this country that have no problem

01:18:35.580 with the continued invasion under biden if that would have continued they try to stop

01:18:42.660 ice at every turn from doing their legal mission given to them by the president sanctioned by the

01:18:50.880 supreme court to do their job of removing illegals from this country illegals that were brought in

01:18:57.760 in record numbers by the biden administration and previous administrations before that 0.99

01:19:02.520 and the liberal democrats will do anything the useful idiot mental patients that protest at these 0.99

01:19:11.320 holding facilities like the one in newark new jersey uh that's what they do they just want to 1.00

01:19:18.580 again screw up this country and you need somebody at the reins that is willing to be strong and get

01:19:28.520 the job done we're lucky in that we have a lot of real estate here in the united states our country

01:19:35.560 is huge europeans come here you know a lot of people from fans and supporters of their team

01:19:42.900 for the world cup they've come here to america and i've seen a lot of videos from them speaking in

01:19:48.420 their native accents they know some english and they talk about the amazing country that is the

01:19:57.320 united states they travel around and they see geography that is so different the beaches the

01:20:05.340 mountains the plains uh deserts all these different types of of uh geography that they're

01:20:16.380 not used to where they're from and their countries in europe are relatively small

01:20:21.540 and they see this amazing country and it must be it must be nice you know to to look at a country

01:20:28.880 like america and actually see it as the amazing country it is because we take it for granted a lot

01:20:33.920 but we have a lot of land and we have a lot of people and we have a lot of people that don't

01:20:39.800 agree with this policy to allow people in and the politicians although they have a lot of power and

01:20:45.240 they did a lot of damage during the biden administration our political system allows

01:20:50.060 that to change we get new leadership in and they start booting them out not as fast as i would like

01:20:55.860 certainly not as fast as they were being brought in to this country but it's supposed to be one

01:21:02.900 of those checks and balances that everybody talks about that we have in this country so

01:21:07.580 it would at least take longer to really uh screw this country up not for lack of trying they're

01:21:17.560 doing it uh but a country like england ireland scotland uh the these countries aren't big

01:21:27.880 And they don't have these huge populations and their leadership, for lack of a better term, is terrible. 0.98

01:21:34.980 And they've done nothing but undermine the people that live there, their culture, their ancestry, everything that made these countries, England and Ireland, are being removed and replaced with people from third world countries. 1.00

01:21:55.440 that not only don't want anything to do 1.00

01:22:00.020 with the culture of the people

01:22:02.780 that have been there for their ancestors

01:22:05.600 for a thousand years,

01:22:07.700 but they have a genuine disdain for it.

01:22:11.160 They hate it.

01:22:13.100 They celebrate every little chip

01:22:18.640 they take out of it,

01:22:20.040 every little thing that they destroy

01:22:22.440 of the former empire

01:22:25.900 where the sun never set

01:22:27.540 on the British Empire.

01:22:29.200 Anything they could do

01:22:30.620 is celebrated.

01:22:33.140 And they love the fact

01:22:35.640 that they are replacing 0.99

01:22:39.520 the white Anglo-Saxon people

01:22:42.900 of the UK.

01:22:44.020 So they don't have as much time.

01:22:49.700 And people like Starmer

01:22:50.820 and the mayor of London, what's his name, that guy,

01:22:56.640 they have no love for the traditions and culture that made England, England.

01:23:06.000 So good riddance to this guy,

01:23:08.680 but I don't see anything that's really going to change

01:23:13.140 unless they get somebody in there that does what needs to be done.

01:23:17.920 It seems to be a problem with a lot of places in the Western civilized world,

01:23:25.500 leaders that won't do what needs to be done to fix the problem.

01:23:31.320 And there is a problem.

01:23:32.620 Don't let them fool you.

01:23:34.440 The other thing where it looks like Keir Starmer really tripped over his own shoelaces

01:23:42.140 is this banning of 16-year-olds from social media.

01:23:47.920 uh this is this is huge not in so much that 16 year olds won't get to use social media first

01:23:58.400 of all they will there is a way around everything australia enacted this and there are young people

01:24:06.620 that see every single thing available on online whether it's using a vpn or some other app or

01:24:15.500 program that uh can bypass whatever security uh that they put in place but this isn't even

01:24:25.620 really the issue the issue is that as an adult as someone over 16 you're gonna have to prove that

01:24:35.480 you are an adult and what does that entail people putting in your information you need to verify

01:24:44.220 that you are you and you are over the age of 16 so i think when they came up with this

01:24:51.740 maybe one percent of the reason is to to help the children save the children from the horrible

01:25:00.060 uh the horrible awful internet they're not going out playing that's a keir starmer said

01:25:06.860 they're not riding their bicycles playing with friends getting outside they're scrolling on

01:25:13.840 the phones it's all ours and uh yeah yeah that's true i remember my youth and uh a lot of it was

01:25:22.680 spent with friends outside uh times change and it's a parent's job to make sure their kids are

01:25:32.980 living a healthy lifestyle and that includes phone time uh at 16 16 and 17 it's pretty much it

01:25:43.080 once you're 18, you know, a kid is going to do what he wants to do. So you really talk about

01:25:49.980 two years. Um, anyone younger than 16, their parent really should tell them, uh, what they

01:25:57.860 should be doing. They're still the boss. So you take away their phone. You, you learn about the

01:26:04.940 tools available on a phone to limit their time and limit where they can go to and check the apps

01:26:11.340 they have. But parents, they're too lazy. They want the government to do everything. And then

01:26:17.740 once you allow the government to sneak into your house, you're done. You want to talk about

01:26:25.740 entities that you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Your friendly government will do that

01:26:33.200 every uh every single time so we're left with um adults having to prove who they are what their age

01:26:43.380 is and why do you think the government of of england would want that well again it's illegal

01:26:51.460 to criticize certain people and why have the cops and everyone else running around trying to figure

01:26:58.440 out who posted what under some pseudonym when now you could just look at your your records of who

01:27:09.380 uh who identified themselves to go on platforms like x and whatnot and now you got them hello

01:27:18.700 what's all this then well you've been posting and uh you're screwed that's the real goal here

01:27:27.140 and they always package it under protecting the children we must protect the children 0.63

01:27:35.360 that way if you argue it and go i don't want to do this they go what how could you not want to

01:27:41.000 save the children it's smoke and mirrors just so they could get your name so you can't post 1.00

01:27:47.580 criticism of the government or the the third worlders they're allowing in to ravage your 1.00

01:27:54.740 country all right don't go anywhere uh we'll be right back hey the anthony cumia show thank you 1.00

01:28:02.580 so much for uh tuning in on this sunday father's day hope you dads all had a great time father's

01:28:10.560 day and mother's day is so starkly different not just because of the people involved but uh

01:28:15.380 you know you kind of treat mom like a queen on mother's day she doesn't cook you go out you

01:28:23.240 better go out to a restaurant and a nice one and you better have made reservations and then you

01:28:28.700 got to get her a nice gift not a vacuum cleaner or something like that something nice and you got

01:28:34.160 to make sure the kids get mom something nice and then father's day is pretty much just leave him

01:28:40.720 alone just leave him alone let him sit and watch whatever he wants to watch on tv let him drink

01:28:49.000 whatever he wants to drink let him hang out maybe with a couple of his buddies and then you know the

01:28:55.380 wife and kids have the presents that they give him but uh for the most part dad wants to be left

01:29:02.260 alone a day to yourself is like gold to uh to a dad right i've seen it i've seen it before

01:31:03.960 to bring up two issues. The first one is Kamala Harris and all these liberal Democrats, when

01:31:09.280 they speak, that guy before, a couple of calls before, he says that Kamala Harris has a

01:31:16.440 word maze. It's true. All these liberal Democrats, when they talk, if you look at the speeches

01:31:24.040 that are translated into English by Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin and Castro, they're

01:31:30.180 and the liberal democrats sound just like them they feel with hate they don't make any sense

01:31:36.020 and now it's yes sir i've noticed um they they talk in circles uh it's to keep the the useful 1.00

01:31:47.640 idiots useful you can't tell them anything it goes in one ear and out the other uh they never 0.99

01:31:54.120 have anything of substance to say to anybody so it's round and round they go that's what 1.00

01:32:01.660 camilla harris does that's what a lot of these uh liberal uh politicians do aoc she's uh the same

01:32:08.940 way uh ilan omar they're all hateful um they cannot stand the traditions and ideals that

01:32:18.760 this country was built on and uh yeah they're a problem for this country and and anthony do you

01:32:25.820 notice when when ilhan omar talks she always goes well well that's because she has to make up things

01:32:33.980 that she doesn't that she has to make up lies when she talks because she doesn't know she's

01:32:38.400 not telling the truth yeah yeah keeping track of your lies and having to come up with lies at a

01:32:43.580 moment's notice it's a tough gig it's a hard thing to do but uh they're pros they've been

01:32:49.420 doing it long enough thanks sal sal hey sally um let me see i could do that for a couple of minutes

01:33:00.000 rosie o'donnell i want to talk about rosie uh she's back she's back in the country thank god

01:33:07.760 right i was missing her so much she got herself a brand new face they took uh they took that face

01:33:16.220 of hers just ravaged by trump derangement syndrome over the past few years and uh i guess they pulled

01:33:24.880 it back a little they stretched it out a little bit and uh she came back to new york i i guess

01:33:31.960 She's going to be doing some Broadway show.

01:33:35.060 But the other thing is she's going to be co-hosting for Jimmy Kimmel.

01:33:40.740 And this is a little odd.

01:33:42.320 Jimmy Kimmel's taking a three-month, two- or three-month sabbatical?

01:33:48.480 What's that about?

01:33:49.900 First of all, no one cares.

01:33:51.840 No one cares.

01:33:54.060 No one watches late-night television.

01:33:57.040 Do you know what we see?

01:33:57.900 We see clips online.

01:34:00.340 go to x go to instagram youtube you will see clips of jimmy kimmel jimmy fallon the other 0.93

01:34:10.620 idiot that's on uh later than that uh that's all you'll just see clips because no one cares anymore

01:34:18.380 but um rosie uh she's going to be standing in for jimmy kimmel and rosie was trashing the ufc 0.99

01:34:26.320 crowd that showed up at trump's ufc event at the white house so we'll um we'll listen to what rosie

01:34:32.620 had to say about those people and uh her her potential stint as the uh guest host on the

01:34:40.780 jimmy kimmel show back in a moment it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:34:47.120 it's the anthony comia show talking about uh jimmy kimmel will be taking a sabbatical

01:34:58.660 i guess it's just so hard you know doing that show uh maybe he'll do something easier like uh

01:35:07.880 You know, roofing, maybe HVAC work.

01:35:11.720 Oh, I just need some time off from trashing Trump 1.00

01:35:16.600 and listening to vapid left-wing Hollywood idiots sitting next to me. 1.00

01:35:24.720 Wonderful. 1.00

01:35:26.300 So he's going to have guest hosts.

01:35:29.660 That's how he's going to handle this, some guest hosts.

01:35:32.640 And Rosie O'Donnell has been picked as one of these guest hosts. 0.93

01:35:37.160 I guess she's going to stick around the old United States for a little while, longer.

01:35:42.560 And she, of course, moved to Ireland because of her horrible Trump derangement syndrome. 0.94

01:35:50.980 She got a facelift.

01:35:53.740 Doctors took some of the wrinkles out of her face.

01:35:58.980 That had to be a job, I bet you. 0.68

01:36:02.020 So here's what they say.

01:36:03.300 Jimmy Kimmel is taking the summer off, and he picked the one person guaranteed to drive Donald Trump insane to sit in his chair.

01:36:11.860 Really?

01:36:13.240 Do you think that's going to drive Donald Trump insane?

01:36:17.480 Do you think Rosie O'Donnell doing Jimmy Kimmel's crappy late-night show is going to be on Trump's radar at all? 0.99

01:36:27.980 maybe a throwaway line on her first night he might say something about what a slob she is 0.95

01:36:35.720 he did famously call her a slob uh yeah he called me a slob once he called uh opie and anthony oh 0.98

01:36:45.540 those two slobs i don't hold a grudge um yeah it's gonna it's just gonna drive donald trump 0.88

01:36:54.180 insane kimmel wasn't subtle about why he picked her oh uh quote as a special treat for our 0.85

01:37:02.320 commander-in-chief i asked one of his all-time favorites rosie o'donnell to be here to keep

01:37:08.140 the hits coming oh they really think much too much of themselves they're so full of themselves

01:37:19.420 They actually believe that they are somehow getting to Donald Trump when they go on and do the same thing. 0.98

01:37:30.220 All of their other liberal, imbecile co-workers and other talk show hosts and Hollywood stars and comics and musicians. 0.99

01:37:42.260 Really, Rosie is going to be the one that sets them off. 1.00

01:37:49.420 you're welcome and all i ask in return mr president is that you don't do anything stupid 0.97

01:37:56.940 while i'm gone kimmel announced he's stepping away from the show for two months starting in 0.95

01:38:02.580 july as replacement of choice the comedian donald trump has spent literally decades attacking really

01:38:09.100 has has donald trump spent decades attacking rosie o'donnell this is how overly dramatic 0.83

01:38:19.120 these these people are this is how insane they are he called her a a slob during the 2016 debate

01:38:30.980 when he left uh ireland he made a joke about revoking her citizenship can't be done we know 0.92

01:38:39.780 that um and that's trashing her for for decades attacking that's what they said attacking

01:38:47.280 that includes last summer when he posted that he was giving serious consideration to revoking her

01:38:53.700 citizenship and calling her a threat to humanity after she moved to ireland following his election

01:39:00.440 yeah she didn't take it quietly she's been clapping back ever since this is also the same

01:39:10.460 show um trump's fcc chair threatened to pull off the air entirely last year disney cave for a week

01:39:17.820 kimmel came back anyway now he's leaving for the summer and putting trump's least favorite person

01:39:23.260 in the chair really you don't think some of the least favorite people have been people he's blown

01:39:29.720 up the line of succession for ayatollahs over there and iran maybe not some fat cow that he 0.97

01:39:40.180 he called a slob it's his least favorite person oh boy she's clapping back though here she is

01:39:48.260 talking about um she's talking about uh the people uh that showed up at donald trump's ufc event

01:39:58.100 on the white house lawn last week and um i guess she was walking out of a venue and somebody

01:40:05.300 asked her a question, how she feels

01:40:07.880 about that, and AC2,

01:40:10.240 here's her response.

01:40:13.840 Well, see, we had to

01:40:15.940 get your opinion on the UFC

01:40:17.780 event that happened at the White House over the weekend.

01:40:20.480 It was disgraceful and embarrassing

01:40:21.940 and he should be ashamed of himself for doing it.

01:40:24.360 Did you hear about the

01:40:25.620 fighter who called Michelle Obama a man?

01:40:28.200 Yes, and that's exactly what Trump is

01:40:29.980 and that's exactly what

01:40:32.040 his fans are. Racist, homophobic, 1.00

01:40:34.380 un-American can you give advice to parents who are dealing with children who might be in a 0.86

01:40:39.840 similar situation to your daughter uh just do your best and love them we appreciate you thank

01:40:44.740 you so much ciao threw her that softball about donald trump and the ufc event and the fighter

01:40:52.380 that called michelle obama a man and then nails are right between the eyes with what advice would

01:40:58.440 You give parents dealing with children like your daughter who, drug addict, ended up in jail.

01:41:06.120 Just support them.

01:41:07.600 Support them. 1.00

01:41:09.300 By getting a fat ass on a plane, an Aer Lingus flight over to Bonny, Ireland. 1.00

01:41:17.280 Just always stay by them. 1.00

01:41:20.100 And by them, by saying by them, I mean thousands of miles away from them.

01:41:26.420 Holy moly. 1.00

01:41:28.440 She's a disaster. 1.00

01:41:30.420 But there you go. 1.00

01:41:32.120 He's racist, homophobic, of course, of course. 1.00

01:41:35.720 It was disgusting and degrading and demeaning 1.00

01:41:40.640 and whatever else you could come up with. 0.94

01:41:43.520 But, you know, when Biden had a Pride Month celebration

01:41:50.300 and there were transgender women flashing cameras

01:41:59.160 with the White House right there, right on the White House lawn. 1.00

01:42:02.560 That's worse than some meathead UFC guy making a joke about Michelle Obama.

01:42:09.900 That's worse than a motorcycle stunt show or watching some UFC.

01:42:17.120 Really? 0.99

01:42:17.840 having a bunch of degenerates flashing at the White House. 0.98

01:42:26.880 Yeah. 0.97

01:42:28.280 There was no problem with that.

01:42:29.420 I'm sure Rosie had no problem with any of that.

01:42:32.620 It's very inclusive. 1.00

01:42:34.800 People loved the transgender people showing their artificial cans 1.00

01:42:40.620 and their bulges in their skirts. 1.00

01:42:44.120 i'll take ufc any day of the week on the white house lawn compared to what the uh the degenerates 1.00

01:42:54.500 that the biden administration um was putting uh on the white house lawn that's for sure

01:43:01.880 my friends uh let's see oh michelle speaking of michelle obama we got um her talking about

01:43:11.300 the dreamers oh the dreamers ac9 is this clip and michelle will let you know that the dreamers

01:43:19.900 you know illegals that have come here they were anchor babies they've grown up um and they are

01:43:28.180 now dreamers for some reason again they give them these these names they they use terminology for 0.78

01:43:35.580 laws the safe act when it's nothing but uh keeping people unsafe uh things like that so dreamers

01:43:44.560 they're dreaming of a better life and you're trying to take that dream away so uh here's

01:43:51.340 michelle obama talking about the dreamers immigrants proving what it truly means to be

01:43:57.640 a dreamer. These folks aren't Americans too. They are America. They are the beating heart

01:44:09.900 of this country. They are us and we are them. And to ignore this simple truth, to refuse

01:44:19.800 to respect the contributions and experiences of people who aren't exactly like us. Y'all

01:44:26.640 puts us all at risk failing to see the humanity in all people puts us all on a slippery slope

01:44:35.720 oh god failing to see the humanity in all people am i supposed to see the humanity

01:44:43.580 in an illegal that uh slices the throat of a young uh american woman do i still have to see

01:44:52.280 his humanity or can i call him what he is and say he shouldn't have been here in the first place and

01:44:58.280 that the people that allowed him to come here have blood on their hands how about that they're the 0.80

01:45:04.400 beating heart of the country what they always want to elevate these these illegals because so they

01:45:13.080 always just say immigrants they leave out the part of of illegal that they're not here legally 0.93

01:45:20.140 oh but they're humanity oh okay just break the law then let's just do away with our borders 0.83

01:45:27.560 because you know humanity beating hard they are us and we are them what more nonsense more drivel

01:45:36.660 they just love that that that the law doesn't have to be adhered to in their mind anyone that

01:45:46.100 they feel is downtrodden or or uh part of a minority group or an oppressed people they just

01:45:55.400 go yeah the law doesn't apply to you do what you want rape rob steal murder just have a ball

01:46:02.540 and we will do nothing but go up to podiums and make speeches about how you are the most

01:46:09.860 wonderful people doesn't matter what you've done you're the beating heart the backbone the country

01:46:16.780 was built on the backs of murderers rapists criminals huh what uh in a minute it's the

01:46:27.840 anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show let's go out to

01:46:36.440 Bethpage, Long Island, New York

01:46:39.100 and talk to Chris. Chris, what's up?

01:46:41.940 Hey, Anthony. I was going to talk

01:46:43.080 about Kamala, but I've got to backtrack

01:46:45.080 on Rosie O'Donnell. I don't know if I told

01:46:47.100 you this, but I am your Rosie O'Donnell

01:46:48.880 expert because I'm really good friends with her cousin.

01:46:51.940 We went to high school

01:46:52.920 together, so I know all about her.

01:46:54.660 Out there in Comac? 0.82

01:46:57.000 Yes, that's where she grew up in Comac.

01:46:59.160 Unfortunately, her mom died when

01:47:00.940 she was young, when she was only 10.

01:47:03.000 So she spent a lot of time with my buddy

01:47:04.800 who grew up in Rockville Center.

01:47:06.440 and they were like brother and sister.

01:47:08.480 So he knows everything about her. 0.74

01:47:09.940 I used to go see her stand up at Chuffles when she was young.

01:47:13.280 By the way, it took a long, long time.

01:47:16.040 She played herself as a heterosexual girl. 0.89

01:47:19.100 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:47:20.120 A lot of women have done that, especially if you're in show business. 1.00

01:47:25.460 I guess it was detrimental back then, but, you know, it's Rosie O'Donnell.

01:47:29.740 But I will say this.

01:47:30.680 I will say this.

01:47:31.420 For the record, Anthony, for the record, though, it does go back decades.

01:47:35.400 It's her and Trump.

01:47:36.080 It does go back decades.

01:47:37.080 I'll tell you why.

01:47:38.280 She used to be on The View, Rosie, in the early 2000s, okay, if you remember.

01:47:42.520 And Trump was on The Apprentice.

01:47:45.000 He hosted The Apprentice.

01:47:46.340 Right.

01:47:46.660 And she came out one day, early 2000s, and made fun of him because he filed for a couple of bankruptcies.

01:47:55.220 She did the hair.

01:47:56.040 You can look it up.

01:47:56.740 She looked it up.

01:47:57.660 She put the hair to the side, and she's like, duh, duh, duh, I filed for six bankruptcies.

01:48:03.220 So she just came out of nowhere and attacked Trump, right?

01:48:05.440 So being Donald Trump back in the early 2000s and forever, you hit him once, he's going to come after you.

01:48:12.360 So he put out this, he used to do then shows.

01:48:15.020 I don't know if he went on a Howard Stern show, what it was, and all he did was rip into Rosie O'Donnell.

01:48:20.300 Like he made fun of her.

01:48:21.020 So it does go back.

01:48:23.080 I remember that.

01:48:24.220 But Howard used to goof on Rosie too. 0.94

01:48:26.440 He'd call her big fat pumpkin head and he would just rag her relentlessly. 1.00

01:48:32.680 A lot of people did, especially when it turned out she was such a hypocrite. 1.00

01:48:38.260 You know, she had that TV show, Rosie show, the talk show she had. 1.00

01:48:43.620 And she was, you know, the queen of nice, and she wasn't going to have a mean show like Jerry Springer or any of that. 0.96

01:48:50.520 And it turns out she was a horrible person to deal with.

01:48:54.580 Do you remember the thing that turned it?

01:48:55.760 Anthony, do you remember the exact guest that turned everybody's, opened everyone's eyes?

01:49:00.480 I believe it was Magnum P.I.

01:49:03.340 There you go.

01:49:04.180 Tom Selleck.

01:49:05.100 Tom Selleck.

01:49:05.600 He was talking about guns.

01:49:07.040 Yeah, he talked about guns, and he's a right-wing guy,

01:49:10.960 and she just could not deal with it and lost her mind. 0.80

01:49:16.840 Yeah, that was the beginning of the end for Rosie's big show.

01:49:21.380 Yeah.

01:49:21.960 Thanks a lot, Chris.

01:49:23.520 Appreciate it, man. 0.99

01:49:24.460 Yeah, that's just, they're all hypocrites. 1.00

01:49:28.060 was the other one the other lesbian with the talk show that was uh just a pain in the ass 1.00

01:49:37.380 for everyone who uh that worked with her tells her name such a mental block with these uh 1.00

01:49:43.220 pieces of garbage anyway not the queen of nice that's for sure uh hillary hillary rodham clinton

01:49:52.200 she's finally so brave of hillary to finally speak up about joe biden making a mistake by 0.96

01:50:04.700 running for president for a second term as president really hillary there are you could

01:50:14.140 look up uh x posts social media posts where hillary is backing joe biden to no end he's the

01:50:22.880 greatest he's sharp as a tack everyone loves him the interns can't keep up with him at the white

01:50:29.480 house he's so oh my goodness an amazing uh works hard and now she's finally breaking her silence

01:50:40.420 on this and um saying that it was a mistake that she believes that's what cost the democrats the

01:50:48.160 presidency i guess there's no love lost between her and camilla harris but um ac5 let's listen

01:50:56.240 to hillary talking about biden and all of a sudden she's all brave if she would have said this

01:51:02.360 uh even halfway through his term people would have been like wow look at that but all of them

01:51:09.720 were behind the scenes trying to undermine their dementia-riddled president. 0.81

01:51:15.920 But, yeah, let's listen to Hillary.

01:51:18.120 He made a terrible mistake.

01:51:19.520 He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.

01:51:24.140 He had said that he would not run again.

01:51:27.880 And, you know, counterfactual narratives are always a bit tricky.

01:51:32.680 but I believe if he had kept to that plan and said in, say, the late summer of 23 that he wasn't going to run,

01:51:44.380 that he was going to pass the torch to the next generation, we would have had a real contest.

01:51:51.340 And very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president

01:51:57.420 or a governor or a senator or anybody else would have beaten Donald Trump.

01:52:03.260 So I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.

01:52:11.960 But once he didn't move and did not, you know,

01:52:19.660 admit that he had said he was going to step aside and then decided not to

01:52:24.740 and held on for as long as he did we were in a terrible dilemma oh well why didn't any of you

01:52:34.000 open your yap back then why didn't you uh say hey we got to get rid of this guy he's senile

01:52:41.460 he cannot possibly win and if he does he certainly can't uh be the president he's a mess

01:52:50.860 none of you said that you all lied all of them and the mainstream media was right there as the 0.95

01:52:59.420 propaganda machine pumping out all the garbage and bs about joe biden sharp as a tack oh my god

01:53:08.080 he's the greatest most alert aware president where where was hillary clinton then where was 0.80

01:53:16.660 chuck schumer where were all of these democrats they were all over the the mainstream media 1.00

01:53:24.900 saying how wonderful joe biden is maybe if enough of you idiots said something to him 1.00

01:53:31.380 he would have said yeah okay i i obviously don't have the support of my party 1.00

01:53:37.740 maybe i should pack it in you emboldened him by by kissing his ass on on television you 1.00

01:53:46.600 guys he believed the bs just like all of you dumb liberals out there joe biden believed the crap he 1.00

01:53:55.820 was hearing about himself from the liberals and the democrats i must be great i'm doing i'm doing 0.99

01:54:04.340 great they're all saying i'm wonderful i must be great no they couldn't drag him across the finish

01:54:13.380 line and was hillary trying to say that that all camilla harris might have needed was a little more

01:54:21.440 time as the candidate that if biden backed out because she said maybe it was the vice president 1.00

01:54:28.820 maybe a governor i think she was just being nice because the last thing they needed was for camilla 1.00

01:54:37.700 Harris to have even more time to look like the idiot she wound up looking for as the 1.00

01:54:43.640 presidential candidate for just a few months, never mind two years of campaigning as the 1.00

01:54:50.420 Democrat presidential candidate. 1.00

01:54:54.920 So you could tell Hillary cannot stand her, knew she was going to lose, and she wanted 1.00

01:55:05.100 a viable candidate. 0.99

01:55:07.200 I think any Democrat would have liked something.

01:55:09.420 What are they going to do?

01:55:10.360 Draft someone?

01:55:11.600 You say, all right, let's all get together.

01:55:14.040 We'll put Gavin Newsom.

01:55:15.780 He's our guy.

01:55:17.040 That's going to be our Democrat candidate for president.

01:55:21.860 But Joe Biden, I think they were at war with each other so badly that Biden immediately endorsed Kamala Harris.

01:55:30.460 And they're like, well, we're sunk.

01:55:32.380 That's it.

01:55:33.420 We got to go with Kamala.

01:55:35.500 And thank God she lost.

01:55:37.300 All right, don't go anywhere.

01:55:38.720 Plenty more show to go.

01:55:41.300 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:55:47.660 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Sunday Father's Day.

01:55:50.960 Thanks for joining us.

01:55:52.080 And, boy, this Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, the first trillionaire in history.

01:56:00.500 uh well first trillionaire private citizen governments have been trillionaires but

01:56:06.900 pretty amazing pretty amazing uh this guy elon musk i think has been more influential

01:56:18.220 in the 21st century than anyone else a couple of all right maybe like steve jobs

01:56:27.120 Steve Jobs, I mean, he's gone, but his legacy lives on.

01:56:34.060 The invention of the iPhone changed the world,

01:56:40.440 just changed the entire world and the way it operates.

01:56:44.660 You could look at that product and that vision of Steve Jobs

01:56:50.180 as a moment in history where everything shifted

01:56:54.060 and went in another direction.

01:56:58.020 And it's been so, just a huge influence on people.

01:57:02.300 And I think Elon is doing the same thing.

01:57:06.420 And to see people, you know, politicians, Hollywood, the usual suspects,

01:57:15.500 to see them just bashing him, this guy, through his innovations

01:57:22.860 and his dreams and visions that have come to fruition

01:57:27.620 and things he's working on now, the Neuralink.

01:57:31.520 Look, I don't want a chip put in my head,

01:57:34.440 but if you're blind or deaf 0.99

01:57:37.560 and there's a way to bypass whatever problem

01:57:41.180 in that chain from sound to hearing it in your brain

01:57:47.400 and seeing something,

01:57:50.080 that would be miraculous.

01:57:52.860 That is a miracle, and the fact that he's working on that, his companies that are worth a trillion dollars, it's another thing that the people, dummies, don't seem to understand.

01:58:08.040 They honestly think he's asleep on a giant mattress full of cash, $1 trillion in cash, and it's all his, and if he wanted to, he could use it to buy everyone on earth an ice cream cone or whatever. 0.99

01:58:26.120 And it shows how stupid these people are, how ignorant, with no knowledge of how business works, how wealth works, how extreme wealth works, corporations, shares in a company. 0.99

01:58:44.360 SpaceX just went public with an IPO, and that's what put his value into the trillion-dollar range. 1.00

01:58:55.180 And I think it's great.

01:58:57.780 I think it's great.

01:58:59.360 There aren't many ways you can show that somebody like Elon Musk is doing amazing things.

01:59:09.060 Especially to people that don't want to look at some of the amazing things he's doing.

01:59:13.580 They discount it. 1.00

01:59:15.820 I've heard people say Elon's an idiot. 1.00

01:59:18.160 AOC says that. 1.00

01:59:20.460 He's not smart. 1.00

01:59:21.440 He's an idiot. 1.00

01:59:22.380 Really? 1.00

01:59:23.520 Elon Musk is an idiot. 1.00

01:59:26.580 If you are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you're rowing from L.A. to Hawaii. 1.00

01:59:37.620 I've seen these.

01:59:38.820 And every day, there's video.

01:59:41.520 You could watch the person rowing their boat from L.A. to Hawaii.

01:59:48.800 You know why?

01:59:49.640 Because of Starlink.

01:59:50.700 because of the high-speed Internet access of Starlink.

01:59:57.860 And how does a private citizen put satellites into outer space

02:00:03.040 with his own rocket company,

02:00:05.720 with reusable booster engines

02:00:09.200 at a cost that is a fraction of what any government spends

02:00:17.240 on a space program,

02:00:19.920 especially the United States government.

02:00:22.760 Remember that?

02:00:23.680 The million-dollar toilet seats on the space shuttle

02:00:27.300 and a $500,000 hammer.

02:00:32.920 And that's the effect that Elon Musk has on the world.

02:00:37.260 Electric vehicles,

02:00:38.980 the darling of the liberal left,

02:00:41.180 the Green New Deal,

02:00:43.060 this, that, the other thing,

02:00:44.000 or the New Green Deal, whatever.

02:00:45.140 all that stuff the liberals were clamoring of we got to get rid of the 0.97

02:00:49.800 cars that use fossil fuels we need electric vehicles

02:00:53.320 elon musk builds a company it's the most successful car company

02:00:58.940 in the world not just the electric car company this is insane what he's done and the second he

02:01:09.960 says ah you know i like some of the um conservative ideas coming out of the trump administration 0.93

02:01:18.300 i don't like that government spending is crazy you know these illegals i came in legally south 0.91

02:01:25.560 african immigrant and i did what needed to be done and i'm proof that it can work maybe the 1.00

02:01:32.000 illegals aren't the second he started saying that he's garbage he's crap he's a liar he's a grifter 1.00

02:01:39.260 he's robbing taxpayers of their money 1.00

02:01:42.020 through

02:01:45.100 Elon Musk's companies

02:01:47.180 his employees

02:01:50.760 pay hundreds of millions

02:01:54.660 of dollars in taxes

02:01:56.160 hundreds of billions, sorry

02:01:57.560 hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes

02:02:00.060 and then they gripe that

02:02:02.540 Elon Musk pays less in taxes

02:02:05.180 than a teacher

02:02:06.360 because again they don't understand

02:02:08.680 And that Elon, by himself as a private citizen filling out his taxes, probably doesn't make that much money.

02:02:17.480 He doesn't draw a lot of money out of the company to pay himself.

02:02:22.360 What, a couple of hundred thousand dollars probably?

02:02:25.100 He's certainly not living a lavish lifestyle, going out to the most expensive restaurants, driving a parade of luxury vehicles, living in a palatial mansion.

02:02:38.680 That's not him.

02:02:41.080 Now, his companies pay a lot in taxes,

02:02:44.740 but try to tell that to the likes of Liz Warren

02:02:47.540 and Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer again.

02:02:52.020 And they don't want to hear it.

02:02:54.960 And Adam Schiff.

02:02:56.580 Adam Schiff's another one.

02:02:57.960 Because the second Elon Musk's value,

02:03:01.500 companies' equity became a trillion dollars,

02:03:06.960 well these democrats they can't get on camera fast enough to tell everyone how they should spend his

02:03:15.560 money they love spending other people's money while elon employs millions of people at least

02:03:24.380 hundreds of thousands of people with the various companies that um he's responsible for for

02:03:31.620 creating what has adam shift done what has liz warren done to employ anyone

02:03:40.680 they their their own jobs are are being paid with money out of your pocket

02:03:49.400 and then they their job seems to be to get their hand into your wallet to take more money and the

02:03:57.320 more successful you are the more they want you to pay and i don't know i kind of like the fact

02:04:05.280 that elon musk is in control of his company's money and what is done with it i trust elon

02:04:12.880 he's got a good track record of utilizing his money to make you know the earth a better place

02:04:19.640 and these they want to take his money and spend it on more of the nonsense

02:04:30.240 they have spent your money on forever and um why would adam schiff be any different here he is

02:04:39.340 what could one trillion dollars buy if adam schiff was in charge of it instead of that

02:04:46.880 horrible Elon Musk. AC7, let's listen. What would a trillion dollars pay for? Well, a trillion

02:04:54.980 dollars, if we decide to distribute that equally among American households, your household would

02:05:01.100 get $7,500. Wow. Every household in America could get $7,500 from that trillion dollars.

02:05:09.540 It would also pay for the complete four-year college education of 7.7 million American students.

02:05:19.940 Wow, they go to college, come out the other end with no job skills.

02:05:23.560 All the cost of all of that for 7.5 million students and pay for it by the wealth of our first trillionaire.

02:05:32.340 It costs a lot to raise kids in America.

02:05:34.280 Well, you can take 4.3 million kids and raise them from birth until 18, pay for everything they need during those 18 years.

02:05:45.720 Welfare.

02:05:47.760 Welfare, right, Adam?

02:05:49.840 More welfare, more paying for other people's kids' college.

02:05:57.720 He can't spend Elon Musk's trillion dollars fast enough.

02:06:02.820 and and plea does he understand is he just lying is is he doing what they all do trying to um

02:06:13.680 trying to tell their their constituents that they would divvy up elon's money or they understand

02:06:21.660 it's not elon's money it's it's successful companies that are quite literally changing

02:06:28.980 the course of history and they just want to dole it out $7,500 for every family really where would

02:06:38.140 that money end up in a month where would that go in a month's time would it go to putting satellites

02:06:46.020 so you could have high-speed internet in the middle of the Sahara desert would that be what

02:06:52.900 it would go for or uh some kid taking uh african studies in school so they could come out of

02:07:00.940 college with absolutely no skills to get her a real job oh god adam schiff just they cannot spend

02:07:11.680 your money fast enough they can't grab more of a handful of your cash and uh bernie's the same

02:07:22.820 way bernie sanders where is this clip let me see oh clip 10 there it is bernie he's railing against

02:07:34.540 elon and he wants elon's money only five percent oh that's it why the hell does he feel entitled

02:07:44.560 to have any say in where Elon's money goes

02:07:49.180 when Elon is paying billions in taxes.

02:07:53.440 He has paid more tax than anyone in history,

02:07:58.600 and it just isn't enough.

02:08:01.100 Billions in taxes isn't quite enough

02:08:04.100 for Bernie Sanders and Adam Schiff and Liz Warren.

02:08:09.400 so uh here's bernie and his take on how to spend elon's money all of that and more more would be

02:08:21.720 paid for by a five percent annual tax on the wealth of billionaires nobody with less than

02:08:30.340 a billion dollars in wealth would pay a nickel more in taxes my critics claim that this legislation

02:08:37.500 is punitive yep it's confiscatory we're picking on these terrible billionaires oh

02:08:45.400 oh and here is the irony for better or for worse i have three houses that's the iron

02:08:52.280 tomorrow elon musk would pay 39 billion dollars more in taxes leaving him i know this is tough

02:09:00.200 with just 737 billion dollars in which to survive i know hey survive you know what the price of gas

02:09:09.160 is right now you know what food is guy is 737 billion what do you want my three houses my cause

02:09:18.740 it's like screw you who are they who are they to say they could do better

02:09:28.380 with 40 billion dollars than elon musk can do do you know what what that is oh he only has 0.81

02:09:39.020 700 billion to live off of now yeah if you got a trillion i would be pretty pissed

02:09:48.340 if now I have $700 billion.

02:09:52.580 Sorry.

02:09:54.000 Yeah, it's a lot of money.

02:09:56.220 But it's mine.

02:09:58.040 That's how I'd feel about it.

02:10:00.460 And the way the tax laws are right now,

02:10:04.140 the tax laws that you write,

02:10:07.360 that you Washington lifer politicians have written

02:10:11.600 and done your own taxes with,

02:10:14.920 saved yourself some money,

02:10:16.560 your cronies your businesses that give you donations have used the same taxes to pay less

02:10:26.240 it's not illegal believe me if there was one number that was off on elon musk's taxes you 0.97

02:10:33.920 bastards would be right up his uh yeah but he's using every legal step he can use with the tax 0.86

02:10:45.220 laws that you guys wrote and and he's still paying billions of dollars in taxes but it ain't enough

02:10:55.240 we need more we need more it's it's beyond like how do they feel entitled to everyone's money and

02:11:08.600 Look, I understand it's very hard for anyone to comprehend a trillion dollars.

02:11:16.640 And if you have $700 billion or a trillion dollars,

02:11:21.940 I'm sure anyone living in this country, working for a living, wouldn't care.

02:11:28.740 Wouldn't care.

02:11:31.340 But when you're a company, an entity, a corporation, you're a tech company,

02:11:37.680 You're a space company.

02:11:39.700 He's putting rockets in space, satellites in orbit that benefit every person on this planet.

02:11:48.060 I'd rather have Elon Musk utilize that money than Bernie Sanders and his ilk.

02:11:58.560 And it's everyone.

02:12:00.540 It's a grand scale when you look at Elon and the money he makes, of course.

02:12:05.380 Billions of dollars.

02:12:07.680 But it's your paycheck, too.

02:12:10.620 It's your yearly salary.

02:12:13.120 Oh, I make this much a year?

02:12:15.060 What am I going to make?

02:12:15.580 $70,000, $80,000 a year?

02:12:18.800 And I'm taking home $50,000, $45,000?

02:12:26.520 That's because they wrote the taxes.

02:12:30.220 And they don't change it.

02:12:31.840 They talk about how we need to change it.

02:12:33.800 We need to tax this guy more.

02:12:36.160 Your fair share.

02:12:37.140 they aren't paying the fair share well change it oh that's right your donors your cronies

02:12:46.680 people that support you and and uh finance your re-election campaigns they don't want you

02:12:53.880 changing the laws either so they bitch about it they they make elon musk seem like the bad guy

02:13:02.320 and business as usual carries on and they fantasize uh in front of a microphone to their uh 0.93

02:13:12.460 to their brain dead supporters what an awful guy elon is for for building innovating

02:13:21.000 and creating companies that are worth a trillion dollars but you know he carries around this giant

02:13:30.140 wallet with a trillion dollars in it just to buy things laughs at kids that can't afford college

02:13:36.620 laughs at kids that are starving all the things the government is supposed to use the tax dollars

02:13:42.980 that they already have to take care of but between the fraud and and the incompetence

02:13:51.400 and waste, they don't have enough

02:13:54.380 to make sure all that's taken care of?

02:13:58.580 So anyone that's been successful in life,

02:14:02.660 they got to reach their grimy little hands

02:14:05.740 into their pockets.

02:14:07.680 And you're not safe.

02:14:09.580 Remember that.

02:14:10.800 You are not safe from their greedy hands

02:14:13.900 in your pockets.

02:14:15.420 We're all paying way too much in taxes.

02:14:18.380 It's the waste and the fraud.

02:14:21.400 And that's the reason. 0.97

02:14:22.420 Not that we need more money to take care of their lame-ass programs. 0.91

02:14:27.280 Be right back.

02:14:29.280 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:14:35.080 The Anthony Cumia Show.

02:14:37.080 And, well, you know, I watch clips from The View so you don't have to.

02:14:44.080 That's my sacrifice.

02:14:46.200 That's what I do for you, the people. 0.98

02:14:50.080 I don't want you having to watch that garbage. 0.99

02:14:53.100 Uh-uh-uh. 0.99

02:14:54.720 So J.D. Vance, Vice President Vance, joined the gals, the gals from The View.

02:15:03.700 And I don't know how he does it.

02:15:06.660 He's really good at speaking.

02:15:10.060 He's very intelligent, articulate.

02:15:14.620 And people like him.

02:15:16.080 Like, when he speaks, he's very approachable, and he comes off like he knows what he's talking about.

02:15:25.600 He, yeah, he does a great job with public speaking.

02:15:30.320 So when he sat down with the gals from The View, being a Republican, being Trump's vice president,

02:15:38.640 I mean, he's second in command to the dreaded Trump administration that these View gals hate.

02:15:44.500 so um i guess uh anna navarro had a bit of a problem with jd because joy behar seemed to

02:15:58.800 take a liking to him she uh she found him nice pleasant to be around intelligent and of course

02:16:08.180 Anna Navarro cannot see past the fact that this guy is Donald Trump's vice president. 0.58

02:16:14.440 He's just as bad as Trump. 1.00

02:16:16.420 He's evil. 1.00

02:16:17.340 He's a racist. 1.00

02:16:18.240 He's a sexist. 1.00

02:16:19.080 He's homophobic. 1.00

02:16:19.940 He's all this stuff. 0.98

02:16:21.860 And she didn't want to hear any different.

02:16:25.360 And she actually was trying to give Joy a little guff for being a little smitten with J.D. 0.70

02:16:32.200 So at AC-11, let's listen to Anna Navarro.

02:16:35.300 I actually heard what you said to him, right?

02:16:37.460 Because he was sitting in the middle, you were here, I was here.

02:16:39.680 And you said to him, I mean, it was a backhanded compliment.

02:16:42.080 You said to him, you know, you're pretty good for a Republican.

02:16:46.620 And then I sat over here and was like, what about me?

02:16:49.660 You don't even seem, because that's like a MAGA Republican.

02:16:52.580 No, but he also came in, listen, he came in strategically prepared to disarm us with niceness.

02:16:58.160 He came in being affable and laughing easily and being very nice.

02:17:04.600 I mean, it worked on you, it didn't work on me.

02:17:06.620 It didn't work on me either.

02:17:07.700 So I have to say, it did not work on me, Hannah.

02:17:11.460 I think it did.

02:17:12.460 It did not.

02:17:13.460 I respect the office, I'm a civilized human being.

02:17:16.560 When someone comes on my show, then you treat them like a human being.

02:17:21.240 Well, Barbara Walters did say that when someone-

02:17:24.220 I learned under Barbara Walters.

02:17:26.740 Yeah, Barbara Walters told me that when I was- 0.95

02:17:28.380 Physically, she was on top of me.

02:17:30.380 When I first started coming on the show as a guest co-host, she told me when someone

02:17:33.940 comes to your house, you treat them well.

02:17:36.060 She did tell me that I have to say, though, I've been a little bit dismissive of J.D.

02:17:40.360 Vance's like his political ambitions, because I personally think Marco Rubio is a more formidable candidate.

02:17:45.460 You could cut it there.

02:17:47.980 There's Anna Navarro saying he came in strategically prepared to disarm us with niceness.

02:17:56.820 He came in being affable, laughing easily and being very nice.

02:18:02.180 I mean, it worked on you.

02:18:03.500 It didn't work on me.

02:18:04.780 Worked on him. 0.96

02:18:05.520 See, this is how these monsters think.

02:18:09.160 Because it's pure projection. 0.99

02:18:12.440 They are monsters. 0.97

02:18:15.180 Everything they do has an ulterior motive. 0.96

02:18:19.720 If they're being nice to someone, it's because they want something from them. 0.99

02:18:24.680 They are horrible, horrible people. 0.98

02:18:27.820 And the fact that J.D. Vance even went on their show and sat there and was a nice guy, pleasant, laughing, affable, she looks at that like, oh, what a piece of garbage he is. 1.00

02:18:47.520 how dare he be nice how dare he answer our questions nicely and not get into any type of 0.98

02:18:57.520 argument with us that's how they think if they see someone being nice they must be trying to

02:19:08.740 pull one over on you imagine going through life like that how miserable do you have to be

02:19:17.940 that if somebody especially someone you might not agree with if they're nice to you it means

02:19:24.600 they're trying to get you it didn't work on me what what were you supposed to do go on a date

02:19:31.220 with the guy is that what it had been and then joy has to come out and say no it didn't work

02:19:37.340 on me either it didn't work oh perish the thought you say wow you're pretty good for a republican

02:19:43.900 pretty nice a little yeah backhand a little jab for uh the opposing team but he was being nice

02:19:52.260 i saw plenty of clips from that show he he was pleasant to be around that's how jd vance is he's

02:19:59.620 pleasant when he's speaking he's he's quite an opponent when you have to debate him i would love

02:20:06.680 to see Kamala Harris try to debate him.

02:20:10.340 But to say, you know,
