00:01:01.880 Show. Entertaining and

00:01:03.640 informative. On the Red Apple Podcast

00:01:06.040 Network.

00:01:08.160 Yes, the Anthony Cumia

00:01:09.840 Show. Sunday

00:01:11.620 evening.

00:01:14.140 And my goodness.

00:01:16.620 Oh.

00:01:17.940 What a, if I could say 0.78

00:01:19.660 cluster, you know, F.

00:01:22.280 Turn my volume up a little.

00:01:23.840 here there it is yeah if i could say cluster f i would um that seems to be what's happening in the

00:01:31.460 world whoa good god joel um yeah we we kind of dipped our toe didn't we we dipped our toe

00:01:41.200 into the middle east situation and uh it is completely divvied up uh everybody on on the

00:01:52.020 right are you conservative are you right wing are you uh a republican are you maga all that uh

00:02:02.920 it's not one big happy family it never really was uh but boy nothing like now we are kind of uh

00:02:12.080 shattered into a bunch of pieces now uh over the latest the latest being of course

00:02:19.960 the bombing the american bombing of the iranian nuclear facilities deep beneath the the earth's

00:02:32.560 crust so you know i was just saying on the little recorded segment that plays before i actually come

00:02:42.420 on live that uh it uh it divvied everybody up we we don't you know i i wish we could stick together 0.97

00:02:54.720 like the uh imbeciles on the left they don't know what they're doing but uh boy are they a cohesive 0.97

00:03:01.240 unit aren't they they start yapping about something they will get on book and uh on point and on 1.00

00:03:11.140 program and they will spit out that nonsense no matter what happens and uh you know we fall apart

00:03:20.380 we just fall apart too many factions too many uh and i'm not even saying it's not justified

00:03:28.440 you know i i think that also might come with i'll give i'll throw us a bone as the perceived

00:03:35.280 right wing i'll throw us a bone here and say uh perhaps it's because we're just smarter

00:03:42.900 less uh i don't know less of a cult you know some people would laugh at that but

00:03:53.160 it's usually the left calling the right a cult and they are completely cult-like but the uh the

00:03:59.680 ability to influence the left and brainwash them and have them walk like like uh

00:04:05.280 automatons chanting the same line as they walk down the street with a sign someone handed them

00:04:11.320 and now it's the most passionate cause they've ever had in their life you know

00:04:16.620 hand them a sign they go what's this oh that's abortion oh it's my number one issue oh yeah how

00:04:24.500 long now well when'd you hand me the sign because that's when i started becoming very very passionate

00:04:30.620 about this topic so maybe that's it maybe we're willing to look and see uh other sides

00:04:40.160 of an issue and if you agree with something and then uh the situations change you'll change your

00:04:48.700 mind you don't just have to go down political lines party lines you know the the guy you know

00:04:56.520 i'm a trump supporter but i understand at least i can understand why people are a little pissed at

00:05:05.860 him but like i was saying there at the top of the show this isn't really off script for trump

00:05:14.600 you you could find plenty of clips during the campaign of him talking about iran or iran if i

00:05:25.040 want to say it that way i'll say it both ways so i roll and you'll find plenty plenty of uh

00:05:33.120 instances where he said yeah iran should never have a nuclear weapon they aren't a stable enough

00:05:41.780 nation they aren't a nation that uh that that works and plays well with the earth with the 0.61

00:05:49.280 planet earth you know there's a few of these out there like that north korea is one of them

00:05:55.720 they have nuclear weapons i think if they didn't already have nuclear weapons i think uh 0.58

00:06:01.820 i think you'd probably be looking at the same thing a world very leery of of north korea getting

00:06:10.900 nuclear weapons and perhaps acting militarily to prevent that from happening but you know

00:06:17.680 It's hard to put the plutonium back in the toothpaste tube.

00:06:22.880 Yeah, that's what it is.

00:06:23.740 It's a toothpaste tube.

00:06:25.920 So, you know, it's already done. 0.99

00:06:28.820 But I'm sure most intelligent world leaders would like to see a North Korea 0.76

00:06:37.060 that isn't a nuclear power, but too late. 1.00

00:06:42.420 So I think there's a lot of validity to the idea of getting to Iran 0.73

00:06:52.140 before they are able to produce nuclear weapons. 0.66

00:06:56.780 Now there's a thousand things you could say as to whether they were even close

00:07:01.900 to getting nuclear weapons or not.

00:07:04.520 Were they even trying?

00:07:06.400 How do we know all this?

00:07:08.360 I've seen the talking heads on the news of late, and they're trying to really push the Trump administration about, well, the intelligence said this, and it did not really say that they were pursuing nuclear weapons. 1.00

00:07:26.160 And first of all, you're a talking head bim, a bimbo on some lying mainstream media channel. 1.00

00:07:35.680 So I don't know how much of the intelligence briefings you've been in on. 1.00

00:07:41.860 But these guys have seen all the information they need.

00:07:47.080 And just common sense, if you look at it,

00:07:50.480 the amount of enriched uranium that they have

00:07:56.540 and what else could they possibly use it for,

00:08:00.140 their reason behind manufacturing ballistic missiles that go further.

00:08:07.780 And, you know, obviously they're trying.

00:08:10.120 Now, again, you could criticize that and say, well, who cares?

00:08:13.900 They're a sovereign nation.

00:08:15.520 They should be allowed to do what they want.

00:08:17.660 No one, except maybe the Germans or the Japanese, were bothered by the fact that we were pursuing

00:08:25.540 nuclear weapons in the late 30s and early 40s.

00:08:30.140 so who what's it what's in our business and there are nuclear powers around the world that i don't

00:08:38.440 think are very stable got india and pakistan poking at each other constantly and they apparently

00:08:46.600 both have a lot of nuclear weapons so is it the stability of the nation is it that the nation uh 0.81

00:08:55.040 is acts like they're in the Flintstones and they're primitive

00:08:59.880 and have a culture and religion that isn't quite conducive to, again,

00:09:05.680 working and playing well with others?

00:09:08.740 Maybe.

00:09:09.740 Maybe that's a good reason.

00:09:11.640 I don't know.

00:09:12.720 But you're really pushing it when you tell a sovereign nation

00:09:17.620 what they should or shouldn't be doing.

00:09:21.300 You know?

00:09:22.440 Gets a little dicey.

00:09:24.360 get dicey when when it comes to that kind of thing and then of course there is the 1.00

00:09:31.480 involvement of israel this is uh this is i think the single issue that has the right

00:09:42.080 divided more than anything else people feel that israel is is complete in complete control of

00:09:53.080 this country and donald trump the administration presidents before trump every aspect of our

00:09:59.520 intelligence agencies the law the banks the this the that hollywood like that's uh there's an

00:10:09.160 amazing amount of people that believe that and then there's people that don't believe that and

00:10:16.040 They think, you know, we do what we do.

00:10:19.460 Israel is an ally, and we help each other and work together.

00:10:23.440 And if they're in some kind of a military kerfuffle, if I may be so bold, that we'll step in.

00:10:30.220 But both of those camps are so strong and so unwaveringly opinionated on this

00:10:39.840 that it's made a division that is affecting actual MAGA.

00:10:48.160 Make America great again, that whole thing, you know.

00:10:51.700 We're Trump supporters, we believe in America first,

00:10:54.680 and we believe in make America great again.

00:10:57.140 And then why should that involve getting into some other country's issues

00:11:03.360 and problems, you know.

00:11:06.060 And there's there's a lot of schools of thought to that. Are we in it because Israel told us to be in it? Or is it in the best interest of the United States of America to make sure Iran does not produce nuclear weapons, regardless of what Israel's doing?

00:11:27.260 Would we have stepped in if we saw that Iran was exactly where they are as far as their quest for nuclear weapons? 0.78

00:11:41.160 Nothing was happening with Israel, but we noticed through intelligence or whatever that Iran, Jesus, was in the exact place they're at right now. 0.83

00:11:52.220 Would we have bombed the facility just based on, yeah, we don't like that? 0.81

00:11:59.040 Or did it have to do with Israel?

00:12:03.280 Did Israel soften the beaches? 0.95

00:12:05.140 Taking out air defenses was a good thing. 0.52

00:12:07.020 I mean, the B-2 is an amazing, amazing weapon.

00:12:11.740 The stealth and the ability to deliver these huge bombs.

00:12:17.420 But it's a lot nicer.

00:12:19.320 Ask any pilot.

00:12:20.140 It's a lot nicer to fly into a combat zone when the air defenses are disabled. 0.82

00:12:28.480 And that's what Israel has been doing for quite some time now with Iran, a couple of weeks at least, I guess, right?

00:12:37.600 So was it a dual country effort here? 0.62

00:12:45.420 And we needed Israel's help to deliver the bombs, and they needed our help, because I'm sure if Iran had gotten nuclear weapons, Israel would be in the crosshairs lickety-split, if I may use such bold language. 0.84

00:13:00.580 All right. 0.90

00:13:01.340 The phones are what they call lit, and we will take your calls when we return in moments to more of The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:13:10.500 It's The Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:13:15.420 it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

00:13:25.440 yep it is the anthony cumia show without uh delay we will go right to kevin in the

00:13:32.960 long of beach long beach how you doing kev yeah hey yeah midnight hammer quite an operation right

00:13:41.280 Yeah, midnight hammer, yo.

00:13:44.600 They used a lot of different delivery systems, though.

00:13:47.320 You know, they used submarines and B-2 and all of that.

00:13:51.980 And they're only in the Iranian airspace for like four or five minutes.

00:13:56.500 Yeah, yeah, very quick, in and out, no air defenses.

00:13:59.980 They didn't even see them.

00:14:00.920 Very strategic.

00:14:02.200 But I think there's a lot of information we're not privy to. 0.86

00:14:05.240 You know, Israel did it first when they went and did that catapultation move

00:14:10.080 and took out all the senior officials, but something else is going on.

00:14:14.720 And then Trump, I think, probably got a little angry that they did it,

00:14:17.300 and then they wanted help when they, you know, secondary action there.

00:14:21.840 But, yeah, I think there's a lot more going on than we know.

00:14:24.720 You know, we'll find out as time goes on.

00:14:26.980 Oh, there always is a lot more going on, Kevin, always.

00:14:30.480 And, you know, we unfortunately are left to the devices of the government

00:14:36.260 telling us what they did.

00:14:38.480 First of all, why would they tell us anything?

00:14:41.780 And then kind of filtering it through the mainstream media, which is a propaganda wing of the left and of the government in some sense. 0.95

00:14:52.000 I think they've kind of lightened up a little bit on some of the subject matter as far as Trump goes, but they're still liars.

00:15:01.100 We really don't have anything.

00:15:02.460 I mean, we saw three or six, six holes in a mountaintop and we're told that it was an incredible success.

00:15:12.360 It was completely destroyed. Now, I understand. I know how these bunker busters work and and there was a lot of cement dust and whatnot covering the mountaintop.

00:15:24.640 So I assume it got down through the cement to some extent, but we really are only left to what they say.

00:15:32.500 There's no other confirmation like with other bombings, satellite photos, other countries sending pictures and stuff.

00:15:40.120 We really are only dependent on the government to tell us that it was a success.

00:15:46.600 And, you know, of late, we're not very trusting.

00:15:50.240 Like when they told us there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, right?

00:15:54.640 Yeah, and these are all the same people cheering this on, you know, it's the neocons, you know, Lindsey Graham, Mickey Haley, all of Fox News, Sean Hannity, the Rob, pounding their chest, you know, but their kids aren't going over there, you know what I mean?

00:16:08.940 No, I mean, I'm on a lot of maggot chat lines, and yeah, a lot of them are angry because he promised no boots on the ground, but I don't think it'll come to that, you know, I really don't.

00:16:17.600 Yeah, we'll see. 0.78

00:16:18.540 There's a lot of balls in Israel's court, and Israel can take it. 0.98

00:16:20.880 Go ahead. 0.98

00:16:21.340 We'll see, Kevin.

00:16:22.160 Thanks for the call, bro.

00:16:24.640 Yeah, I mean, to jump the gun and just say, he said no foreign wars, no new wars, no boots on the ground, and we're not in that.

00:16:36.580 You know, to say we're not in that right now.

00:16:39.280 Well, does that mean we're not going to be?

00:16:43.020 There's a lot of ifs and what ifs with this whole situation.

00:16:49.700 What about retaliation?

00:16:51.360 if if this does happen we have to respond what if american soldiers are killed um at some overseas

00:17:00.900 bases in the middle east which are easily targeted and delivered uh weapons can be delivered to them

00:17:07.120 from iran we will have to do something obviously uh this this nuclear facility hit was very very

00:17:17.460 surgical it uh didn't claim the lives of civilians it wasn't a a uh in a city where people are

00:17:26.800 wasn't uh apartment buildings or a hospital it was what trump had said he wanted to go after

00:17:35.160 especially um even through his campaign saying we need to make sure they don't get nuclear weapons

00:17:41.440 And this could fit that bill, as I said, but does it go further?

00:17:47.320 And then you have to ask, well, what?

00:17:49.820 So we're not supposed to do anything because they might retaliate after?

00:17:54.620 That's not really a good excuse to not use force because you're afraid of what the other side might do in response to that.

00:18:05.180 If you do that, you can be threatened by anyone, anytime.

00:18:09.660 time well i don't want to touch him he might he might hit me sometimes you know you gotta hit but

00:18:15.300 let's um let's go to uh tommy tommy in brooklyn what's up tommy hey at uh just saying as a long

00:18:24.520 time listener talking to you over terrestrial station is wild i wasn't around for the ona days

00:18:29.180 but this is pretty awesome it's insane yeah so i love it a primary motivation of the 9-11 attacks

00:18:34.580 was america getting involved in the middle east in no way am i saying we should just lie down and

00:18:38.940 take anything, but the Trump ticket in MAGA was foundational on being America first, staying out

00:18:44.140 of the Middle East, no foreign wars. On the 2015 trail, I know I'm going back a while, but Trump

00:18:48.720 literally in front of Jeb Bush said, your brother destabilized the Middle East. How does bombing

00:18:53.540 Iran and getting involved in yet another conflict in the Middle East benefit any American? And

00:18:59.760 doesn't this cause more conflicts than solve anything? In your opinion, what would 2016 Trump

00:19:04.760 think of this, because as of now, it's dividing the MAGA movement. I don't know if you saw what

00:19:09.460 Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, that spat on X, but it's something to watch. And the whole right is

00:19:15.160 crumbling, and I'm not being overdramatic, but I'm punching out, man. Thank you for your time,

00:19:18.700 and thank you for all the last men. No problem, Tommy. And I will say, especially, what would

00:19:24.200 the 2015, the first term Trump think? Well, the first term Trump, he had an airstrike

00:19:33.720 in iran it was you know he it was a strike i think a lot of people are looking at this like

00:19:42.160 we were we're getting involved in a much wider conflict which again we might be i don't know

00:19:51.840 if we're this will lead to something else but right now i really don't see that trump

00:19:57.960 has done anything more than he's done in the past, taking out terrorists, taking out missiles,

00:20:08.000 retaliation for shooting at American bases years ago. This is stuff Trump has done. And

00:20:14.420 every single president has done strikes such as these. And it didn't necessarily mean we

00:20:25.900 were going to war with them it it was just necessary at the time to do this now again

00:20:34.040 you bring in the israel factor and a lot of people start talking about being a puppet to israel and

00:20:42.000 being under netanyahu's you know spell and uh i think that's why so many people have more of a

00:20:49.860 problem with this than they had with so many of these other strikes that a lot of presidents have

00:20:57.500 done in the past i have a list of them i'll go through when we start talking about some of these

00:21:01.580 politicians like schiff of course and crockett aoc and pelosi who are saying that um trump trump

00:21:11.020 didn't consult with congress and get approval and war powers act and uh which is all nonsense i mean

00:21:18.040 They're again lying. But, you know, these things that happened before and there wasn't this issue of what is what is going on?

00:21:30.180 Why did he do this? Is it going to put us in a deeper what they talked about, but not to this extent.

00:21:35.240 And it hadn't fractured what I seem to have seen as a very strong coalition within the right MAGA, Republican, you know, conservative.

00:21:48.620 But we're kind of seeing that now, that fracturing.

00:21:52.020 So I don't know.

00:21:54.760 I don't know.

00:21:55.720 But we'll take more of your calls.

00:21:57.180 We'll talk a lot more about this.

00:22:00.000 I want to get into, yeah, how the media is talking about it.

00:22:03.580 Some of the responses from Crockett, Pelosi, and AOC.

00:22:08.600 The three stooges.

00:22:10.600 Stick around.

00:22:11.240 We'll be right back.

00:22:12.120 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:22:13.780 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:22:21.020 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:22:23.320 Entertaining and informative.

00:22:25.420 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:22:28.020 Love it.

00:22:28.900 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:22:29.960 So quite the topic tonight.

00:22:34.640 A lot of people want to talk about it.

00:22:36.240 The phones are full, and we will get to more of your calls.

00:22:39.280 But, of course, every week, my mission to find somebody that fits the bill of Clown of the Week.

00:22:51.140 The Anthony Cumia Show presents The Clown of the Week.

00:22:57.680 Again, so many of them.

00:22:59.740 Last week, I literally, I had four.

00:23:02.020 I had four clowns of the week that I had to intersperse through the entire program.

00:23:08.200 So I'm trying not to do that, but it is tough. 0.95

00:23:10.660 There are so many clowns. 0.99

00:23:12.400 Like I said, Crockett, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, just clowns. 1.00

00:23:20.720 But this one, I think she's a recurring clown. 0.98

00:23:25.600 Our beauty, our little Dem Beauty, AOC. 0.68

00:23:29.120 that's right uh i thought i was called i decided i got a good day um yes she says that the uh the

00:23:40.080 media the media needs to be reined in now i i don't know what she means by this you mean the left

00:23:49.360 the left uh wing propaganda mainstream media needs to be reined in but that's all you

00:23:55.600 you do that you you you tell them the lies they tell you what to say in your briefings and your

00:24:03.140 press conferences um so a little trouble in paradise aoc the media not quite doing what you

00:24:10.560 want or is it what i suspect it is uh media isn't just cnn and msnbc and the lot network news uh

00:24:22.820 anymore media is everything including of course eggs and other social media platforms where

00:24:32.240 most people these days get their news yes sir re so i think that's the type of media aoc is

00:24:40.180 is saying needs to be reined in but um here she is talking about it and again the way she's talking

00:24:50.140 You would absolutely believe she was on the other team, on the other side, on the right side of the political spectrum. 0.99

00:25:01.000 Let's listen to this little little honey.

00:25:03.680 I do think that several members of Congress and some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here.

00:25:14.980 Um, and we're going to have to figure out how we reign in our media environment so that

00:25:24.780 you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation.

00:25:28.720 It's one thing to have differing opinions, but, um, it's another thing entirely to just

00:25:36.260 say things that are false.

00:25:38.500 Um, and so that's something that we're looking into.

00:25:41.500 see that's the problem they believe differing opinions is saying something false it is

00:25:51.760 disinformation and the lovely misinformation uh yeah so what is she talking about it's so uh 0.96

00:26:01.540 it's so hypocritical of them which of course we we've known there they've been hypocritical 0.55

00:26:07.680 their entire existence especially people like AOC that uh you you look at well we love differing 0.98

00:26:14.040 opinions oh do you how come every time a differing opinion is presented to you you'll lose your minds

00:26:22.420 have you seen these people when have you seen these people when uh whenever uh anyone from

00:26:29.780 the media or even the alt media you know you get a little guy with a his phone and a microphone and

00:26:36.920 they go to these left-wing protests and they try to speak to these people hey what are you out here

00:26:43.940 for today that's it not even trying to intimidate them or get them riled up just hey uh what does 0.94

00:26:52.320 your sign say what are you out here for who are you screw you we don't talk to nazis all right

00:26:59.720 i guess you don't want to get your point of view out you don't want to maybe hear a different

00:27:06.600 opinion about what you're talking about show other people how educated you are about the topic you

00:27:15.080 feel that is so important to you that you have to walk the streets with a sign the second someone

00:27:22.900 comes up to them and asks them what what are you doing what are you out here for how do you feel

00:27:28.980 really trump nazi why what has he done oh so many things all right can i hear one thing

00:27:37.940 oh my god i can't even think there's so many i can't even think of one well give me one it's

00:27:43.980 not my job to come out here and educate you i've heard that one so many times so what's your take

00:27:49.880 on this it's not my job to educate you well it kind of is it kind of is if you're grabbing a sign

00:27:59.380 putting a slogan on it that is contrary to what i believe in and you want the public to see

00:28:09.760 your take on one of these issues and i come up to you and go what are you protesting for

00:28:17.340 it is your job to educate me on what you're protesting maybe even if you feel it isn't your

00:28:27.320 job per se i would think these people would love to enlighten the people that don't understand

00:28:35.380 their position or have a a differing opinion to their position wouldn't you just spout it out

00:28:43.880 Really? You want to know what I'm here for? Wham! And you just go and the person's left dazed at those little cartoon birds flying around their head.

00:28:53.740 But they just get defensive and they run away because they do not want differing opinions like AOC says.

00:29:03.940 They want what they believe in and they go to violence if you have a differing opinion.

00:29:12.060 I've seen so many of these guys hit with things.

00:29:14.940 They've been smashed in the face.

00:29:17.240 Their equipment's been broken.

00:29:19.440 They don't want them to photograph them in a public arena.

00:29:23.160 If you're so proud of your cause, why wouldn't you put your face out there?

00:29:29.400 But no, they don't want differing opinions, AOC.

00:29:33.620 And the media, the misinformation and disinformation she's talking about, that is the mainstream media mostly.

00:29:45.120 But alt-media has their two teams.

00:29:47.820 I get it.

00:29:49.820 But what were you suggesting?

00:29:52.700 Some type of regulation?

00:29:55.860 We don't like that.

00:29:57.140 I love the way that alt media, whatever, I think that's a passe term at this point, but because it's all of us, we contribute to how people get their news, everyone. 0.93

00:30:13.220 You see something stupid that you know is moronic, it doesn't matter who wrote it, you soak that in and assess that with all the other stuff that you've soaked in from your morning read of various social media, and you put together what you believe is accurate. 0.90

00:30:37.060 That's kind of how it all operates. 1.00

00:30:39.800 But she don't want that.

00:30:40.840 and I think she's hinting

00:30:43.260 and good luck with it

00:30:44.300 that maybe some

00:30:46.860 regulation

00:30:47.960 they pop up with this every so often

00:30:50.860 the left, the right really doesn't do it

00:30:53.340 I mean

00:30:53.600 they really kind of

00:30:55.780 like the idea that the word gets out

00:30:59.020 because the more the left says

00:31:00.540 and the more people they say it 1.00

00:31:03.060 in front of, the dumber they look 1.00

00:31:05.440 it's 1.00

00:31:06.760 without question

00:31:08.260 And I think that's why they try to curtail their little army of protesters and people from talking.

00:31:17.260 You'll see at these same protests, when you ask them questions, some person that is dubbed an authority figure,

00:31:25.540 you got the orange vest on, they'll come over and pull the people away.

00:31:31.160 Pull the person away. Don't talk to them. Don't talk to them.

00:31:33.820 And leave the guy with the mic standing going, why are you telling this person they can't speak?

00:31:38.260 You're the one infringing on their freedom of speech. 0.54

00:31:42.200 But like I said before, they're such puppets and such automatons and such cult members that they can be told, don't talk to that person.

00:31:54.360 And I think more importantly than don't talk to that person is don't listen to that person. 1.00

00:32:01.280 Again, these idiots are very malleable, very easily manipulated. 1.00

00:32:06.800 And if they think someone might be making some sense, oh, their head will explode. 1.00

00:32:13.740 So maybe it's for their own safety that the leaders of some of these protests drag them off, drag them away.

00:32:23.800 Matt from the Bronx.

00:32:26.420 Oh, I can't get to it.

00:32:27.360 There's a continue thing up there.

00:32:29.480 You got to click that continue thing back at a mission control.

00:32:32.420 There it is.

00:32:33.760 Matt, how you doing, bro?

00:32:35.000 hey anthony how are you um that's good that's good uh so basically with regard to iran and

00:32:43.740 israel uh i can't agree more with the earlier caller when he said that the neoconservatives

00:32:48.400 uh have been backing iran action against iran even before 9-11 and with that said uh i frequently

00:32:56.380 mention it i think it's even more apropos now uh the culture of critique by dr kevin mcdonald

00:33:02.840 goes into neoconservatism as a leftist movement, by the way. It's just like feminism. It's just 0.98

00:33:09.820 like communism. It's a left-wing movement. And it's a heresy against conservative Americans to

00:33:16.280 even follow neoconservatism for two reasons. Number one, it originates on the left. And number

00:33:21.000 two, it is a treasonous movement. Why I say that? Because it privileges and prioritizes the national

00:33:28.340 security of a foreign country above the united states that's israel i don't care what i don't

00:33:34.620 care what country it is any ideology that puts the security of a foreign state above the united

00:33:40.480 states is unacceptable all right matt can i just ask you can i ask you a question about what you

00:33:45.000 just said is there any scenario where it's like the government our government many past

00:33:53.820 administrations has said that it it you might say that but it's in america's best interest

00:34:01.480 to be allied with israel uh is there a scenario where an allyship with israel is a good thing to

00:34:11.040 you in insofar as if there is a genuine bona fide threat to the united states and you're acting in

00:34:20.940 concert with another country if there's a bona fide threat if there's a hegemon in uh central

00:34:26.420 asia for example uh that threatens to take over the continent and then pose a military threat to

00:34:31.480 american interest yes but in the sense in the sense that uh before 1948 when israel was established

00:34:39.240 the united states did not have a single enemy in that region of the world did you know a lot a lot

00:34:44.440 I'm playing the devil's advocate here.

00:34:48.340 Yeah.

00:34:50.900 Well, that's going back quite some time.

00:34:54.280 And I understand the conception of Israel and stuff, but it pretty much just gives a blanket.

00:35:01.300 Here's why America does what it does in the modern age.

00:35:05.560 Like every aspect of everything America has done has been because of this brandy new country from 1948, 49. 0.95

00:35:14.440 And everything we've done before that was just silly cowboy Americans walking around. 0.84

00:35:22.080 Then finally, when Israel, this new nation, was able to put a ring through our nose, we just did their bidding. 0.97

00:35:30.260 How does that work? 0.97

00:35:32.140 I don't I don't understand how that happened and how it happened so quickly and with a nation that really had no power back that early in the in the 40s and 50s.

00:35:46.000 OK, well, one in terms of the modern era, the era that we're in now, you're saying that that's somewhat distant. 0.84

00:35:52.080 Well, the year that we are now and really have been since the 60s or 70s is the fact that many people in the Congress and are in our government are in the pocket of the Israeli lobby. 0.56

00:36:04.020 But was that happening in 1950? 0.53

00:36:06.720 Let's go to 1950.

00:36:09.040 Israel's one, two years old at that point.

00:36:12.480 Why were we doing anything without having Israel tell us what to do?

00:36:18.220 Because that seems to be what a lot of people believe America is now.

00:36:22.300 Every move we make is based on Israel telling us to.

00:36:27.000 So what were we doing in the 50s when we weren't paying attention to Israel? 0.59

00:36:33.320 And if we still were, even back then, why were we paying attention to this brand new nation that wasn't giving all our politicians money yet and influencing every every aspect of of American life as we're told they are today?

00:36:51.780 Well, for one thing, you know, you have to understand that Israel is a country and vis-a-vis the United States acts in concert with the Jewish community inside the United States.

00:37:02.720 the organized jewish community not every single jew that lives in the united states

00:37:06.540 is supportive of israel but the ones who are zionist but the ones who are zionist the majority

00:37:11.780 of the population who are zionist they act in concert with the israeli lobby but i'm talking

00:37:17.320 matt you're not you're not i'm talking back in the the 50s why would we do that if they really

00:37:27.740 were just this brand new nation that didn't have much power, didn't have much political

00:37:32.200 muscle at that point, why would we stop being these amazing American cowboys who just, you

00:37:41.400 know, did a great job in World War II and then go, oh, let's just put a ring through 0.99

00:37:46.640 our nose and give the leash to this little Middle Eastern new nation, and that's going 0.97

00:37:52.920 to be what america is now for the foreseeable future up until you know today why and how did 0.81

00:37:58.880 that happen in in the 50s well in terms in terms of the 1950s uh in terms of that period you know

00:38:08.640 jewish influence in the united states i'm talking about ethnocentric jews not political not israel

00:38:14.900 You're talking the Jews that had come over here, just immigrated here.

00:38:22.460 They were established for quite some time.

00:38:25.040 Okay.

00:38:25.620 You had during World War II. 0.83

00:38:27.240 During World War II, for example, you had Jews like Robert Morgenthau. 0.99

00:38:31.140 Excuse me. 0.76

00:38:33.620 Yeah, Robert Morgenthau.

00:38:36.160 Yeah.

00:38:36.880 No, his father.

00:38:38.240 I'm thinking of the district attorney.

00:38:41.160 Yeah, I remember him.

00:38:42.580 Henry Morgenthau.

00:38:43.440 There you go.

00:38:44.160 Henry Morgenthau, who were advising FDR with regard to the Morgenthau plan, which wanted to starve Germany because we were insufficiently supportive of saving the Jews from Hitler during World War II.

00:38:58.400 Because you had to remember that during that period, there was actually an embargo of having Jewish immigration from Europe when the Nazis were overrunning much of the...

00:39:07.420 Yeah, yeah, they weren't really allowed to go anywhere.

00:39:10.540 yeah so you so you had very influential jews in the united states who had the ear of many of the

00:39:16.000 politicians both in the congress and at the executive level now when israel was established

00:39:21.900 that simply accelerated oh okay uh all right that's that's i got you matt i gotta move on

00:39:28.080 but that's all i was wondering about from uh what you were saying and i appreciate uh your call

00:39:33.880 Yeah, you know, we get into this, we get into a lot of strange areas where people have their beliefs, they have their assumptions, they have their prejudice, they have, you know, this is all part of the bigger picture and the conversation that we're having on this.

00:39:54.440 And again, I've said things that I swear to you, the same exact thing I've said posted in one spot has gotten me called a rabid anti-Semite and a Zionist puppet to the Israeli regime.

00:40:13.020 So I think it's helpful to just kind of sort these things out, get people on the phones, talk to them out and about and and bring this subject matter to the forefront and, you know, see what's going on.

00:40:28.280 Because a lot of people have a lot of different views.

00:40:33.660 And what I'm seeing now is every single move that the United States makes, whether it's through Congress or the president, the judicial system, everything, seems to go through this, are you a Zionist or are you an anti-Semite filter?

00:40:56.380 And that is it.

00:40:58.060 You have two choices, and whatever your ideology is, your opinion on a topic, that, my friend, is going to put you through the filter and spit you out in one side or the other, and never the twain shall meet, and we will be permanently fractured on this.

00:41:17.400 But talking about it, that's what I like, my friends, and we will do more of that in seconds when we continue with The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:41:26.560 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:41:34.460 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:41:37.160 Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:41:42.380 It is indeed the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:41:46.260 and uh we're taking a lot of calls tonight because uh the the big war the big battle

00:41:53.220 in iran has uh got a lot of people uh talking thinking spouting and uh that's what we're all

00:42:01.700 about over here 800-848-9222 let's go to shane in uh the great state of vermont what's up shane

00:42:11.340 hey how's it going i just can't believe some of these people listen i don't even support israel

00:42:17.280 at all um in fact i i think we should do practically nothing for them but i think that

00:42:23.180 this is the one thing we should have done because all the people that are saying that we shouldn't

00:42:28.380 do this what's their answer to it's it's just rhetoric it's it's this oh the origins of

00:42:34.240 neoconservatism or it's like why are we becoming tribalist against older conservatives yeah

00:42:41.280 Yeah, if you're under the mindset that every single thing that America does

00:42:48.080 is because of Israel, then anything we do has to go under that blanket 0.97

00:42:54.160 and you'll never really be able to figure out, well, was it a good thing? 0.78

00:42:58.960 Was it a bad thing? 0.92

00:42:59.580 You just go, Israel, and screw this, and we shouldn't have done that. 0.99

00:43:02.760 Is there a scenario, Shane, where we would have done this without Israel

00:43:08.880 And just people would have looked at it like, well, yeah, I think we had to do that. 0.96

00:43:14.000 We don't want this this nation, Iran, that's very unstable, very archaic in their belief system and very irresponsible to have nuclear weapons. 0.98

00:43:26.060 And I think, sure, I can see a scenario like that. 0.99

00:43:29.040 But the way things are going now and for the past couple of years, I think a lot of people just see it as, well, obviously we're doing it because of Israel.

00:43:38.460 What do you think?

00:43:39.400 Well, so 2015 Trump, that was brought up.

00:43:42.740 2015 Trump was talking about stopping North Korea from getting one.

00:43:46.200 I can't imagine any possible reality.

00:43:47.980 Little rocket man.

00:43:49.260 We all remember that. 1.00

00:43:51.340 Yeah, I can't believe that he would be like, okay, let's let Iran get it. 0.89

00:43:56.040 And you also asked if we would ever, I don't think we would have needed to stop Iran from a nuclear program if it weren't for Israel. 0.81

00:44:03.120 um they they've talked about 9-11 happened partially because of our involvement with 0.53

00:44:08.320 israel in the middle east prior to see i don't know about that though i i see it more like

00:44:14.620 we wouldn't have had to deal with iran if it wasn't for some of the past administrations

00:44:20.600 i mean obama well yeah they pretty much handed them the keys to a nuclear uh facility uh biden

00:44:28.440 didn't help either i mean the fact that obama handed over those pallets of cash and then

00:44:34.840 the nuclear deal where the inspectors would go in nothing was being inspected stop

00:44:40.600 how did they build that mountain facility uh uh even in the time uh that they were inspecting

00:44:49.140 they would have had to have started building that they were being deceptive the whole time

00:44:53.580 And I think everyone knew that.

00:44:55.920 So I think past administrations have a lot of responsibility and why that had to be done yesterday. 0.99

00:45:03.820 But I'm sure everyone can cover it with that Israeli blanket. 1.00

00:45:08.820 Sure. 0.94

00:45:10.020 By the way, I just wanted to say I saw Voss on GovPelt the other night, and somebody needs to tell him it's not October Sabbath.

00:45:17.660 Oh, no.

00:45:18.560 What did he say?

00:45:19.480 It's October 7th.

00:45:19.920 Did he say October Sabbath? 1.00

00:45:23.580 he's an idiot thanks shane october sabbath okay uh let me tell you people i'm a jew 0.99

00:45:33.600 he has tattoos isn't that verboten i hate to use that language i'm talking about that but 0.99

00:45:40.280 i don't know i've seen other people say that uh israelis uh not israelis jew american jews

00:45:47.060 can get tattoos.

00:45:48.140 They don't really care that much.

00:45:51.860 But let me see.

00:45:53.760 What do we got here?

00:45:54.980 We could probably take one more call before we have to take a quick break.

00:45:59.740 Mr. Ray in Brooklyn, how are you, my friend?

00:46:03.720 Wow, Anthony, good evening.

00:46:05.300 It's such a pleasure to reach you.

00:46:06.580 Your opening segments are always great.

00:46:08.380 I tried to meet you last week.

00:46:10.340 Bay Ridge Ray, Bay Ridge Ray here.

00:46:12.540 Bay Ridge, I live there, my friend.

00:46:14.200 I was right there by the water.

00:46:16.320 I know. I know. I'm closer to your age. It's not a little older. But I was digging on that last week when you spoke about it. I caught every show since you started with ABC. What I wanted to mention was, aside from swerving away from international, exactly, but why can't the Democrats realize they sound like the moolahs? I mean, especially the head of the Federal Reserve. I mean, how could they diss our president and actually think about impeachment?

00:46:43.160 What is going on? Are they transhuman? Do they ever step back from themselves and hear the F the way they sound? 1.00

00:46:50.220 You know, I'll tell you, Ray, the Democrat, I can never even look at them seriously.

00:46:56.400 I never listen to what a Democrat says and and really consider it. 1.00

00:47:02.820 I just look at it as another idiotic, lying, manipulative propaganda party line nonsense. 1.00

00:47:13.160 that it is. 1.00

00:47:15.700 I get a kick out of your clowns 0.98

00:47:17.300 for the week also because there's many 0.99

00:47:19.260 of them. They're never going to stop.

00:47:21.060 AOC should

00:47:21.860 be reminded that they should

00:47:25.000 like the veteran senators say 0.78

00:47:26.860 keep your mouth shut. You sound like a freaking 1.00

00:47:29.040 17-year-old. You know, she doesn't 1.00

00:47:31.100 she's an airhead. I think 1.00

00:47:33.120 they programmed her.

00:47:34.620 You know, Ray, you know what I would

00:47:37.060 love to see? I would love

00:47:39.060 to see AOC where she belongs 1.00

00:47:41.320 behind a bar 1.00

00:47:43.120 Give her a drink order where she's got to pull the shaker out 1.00

00:47:46.440 and shake it up. 1.00

00:47:49.480 You shake that up. 0.99

00:47:51.720 Her and Crockett are just looking to cash in. 0.99

00:47:54.460 They're shameless. 0.99

00:47:55.620 What I wanted to finish off with.

00:47:58.560 Quickly, if you could, Ray.

00:48:00.660 I was such a great orator and broadcaster.

00:48:02.940 Thank you, my friend.

00:48:03.380 I'll let you go.

00:48:04.340 Good night.

00:48:05.300 I appreciate it, Ray.

00:48:06.980 Yep.

00:48:07.600 That goes right.

00:48:08.940 Yeah.

00:48:09.220 I mean, you know, I don't think I don't look at Democrats, politicians especially, and give them any consideration.

00:48:18.840 I think they have their two team oriented.

00:48:23.800 I don't I don't consider anything they say is fact back in seconds.

00:48:29.480 Don't go anywhere.

00:48:30.860 The Anthony Cumia show.

00:48:32.620 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:48:39.880 It's the Anthony Cumia Show, entertaining and informative, on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:48:47.820 The Anthony Cumia Show, welcome back.

00:48:52.220 Yeah, how about that, Micah? 1.00

00:48:56.120 Make Iran great again? 0.97

00:49:00.140 Is that, I don't think, I don't think we want to do that. 0.99

00:49:06.240 I don't think we want to do that. 1.00

00:49:10.300 I don't care if Iran is great. 1.00

00:49:16.040 I doubt they can be made great. 1.00

00:49:19.220 Didn't we try that with Iraq? 1.00

00:49:21.580 Didn't we try that?

00:49:23.280 Remember, the people of Iraq are going to come up to the American soldiers with flowers

00:49:30.020 and thanking them for the democracy.

00:49:34.040 we are bestowing them with, yeah, that don't work.

00:49:40.600 We know, we know, like, supposedly democracy or a constitutional republic.

00:49:50.640 These are great, great ways to live your life under these types of governments.

00:49:59.980 I don't think they know this.

00:50:01.860 i don't think they have a clue and i don't think they really want it but we always have this idea

00:50:10.580 that we could just pop up these these pop-up democracies in the middle east they've been

00:50:17.080 living like cavemen for quite some time i know tehran looks great you know tehran um is a uh

00:50:27.040 a real city it's got buildings and everything you know before that whole uh kerfuffle in 1979

00:50:34.940 with the hostage crisis and uh before the exile of the shah of iran uh there was a lot of of

00:50:43.420 western culture in iran girls wore miniskirts for god's sake oh yeah and um you know after

00:50:54.640 the past 40 some odd years,

00:50:56.740 whatever, it's been 50, 50 years.

00:50:59.460 I don't think they want it.

00:51:02.780 And it certainly is in our business

00:51:05.360 to try to put it upon them. 0.57

00:51:09.500 So this, is it MAIGA? 0.78

00:51:12.380 If you say Iran, 0.99

00:51:13.820 and it's make Iran good again, 0.99

00:51:16.780 it's MAIGA. 0.94

00:51:17.660 If you say Iran, 0.93

00:51:19.560 then it's MAIGA. 1.00

00:51:22.100 Please.

00:51:23.640 Right?

00:51:24.640 Isn't it like here's a Lindsey Graham put out a response to Trump's make Iran great again post, which is I cannot get behind that.

00:51:42.740 I love Trump.

00:51:44.160 I support him.

00:51:46.920 A lot of people say, oh, a lot of Trump voters and supporters, they have regrets.

00:51:52.520 They wish they never voted.

00:51:53.680 is he shut up the idea of camilla harris and that clown walls running things is is frightening

00:52:03.800 so i have no problems that i voted for trump i have no regrets that i voted for trump 0.53

00:52:12.240 he's he's got a four-year term that's what it is i think he's doing very well there are some

00:52:22.220 things i don't agree with at all others i completely agree with and then some other

00:52:27.560 issues that fall in the middle somewhere i do not like this make iran great again i think it was a

00:52:34.820 terrible post a terrible post on the heels of going in and and taking care of business uh with

00:52:43.120 the nuclear facilities because that was controversial enough even though i agree with it

00:52:49.760 Because I think if we would have left it all alone in time,

00:52:54.120 yeah, they probably would have a nuke.

00:52:56.300 But under a Trump administration, yeah, I could see that being,

00:52:59.720 yeah, that's good.

00:53:01.000 But with everyone bitching and complaining that it's going to be another war

00:53:06.840 and why would he want to do it?

00:53:09.940 Is it going to be regime change? 0.92

00:53:12.680 And then you put out something, make Iran great again?

00:53:16.060 that gets a little where you're like this is not what we voted for again i support the man

00:53:26.300 love trump i think he's hilarious he's a great president but he does things sometimes that are

00:53:32.220 a little boneheaded and lindsey graham uh i had the pleasure of moving down to south carolina

00:53:40.700 from New York City, and with everything going on in New York,

00:53:44.080 I've got to tell you, I couldn't be happier.

00:53:47.160 Pleased as punch, as some say.

00:53:50.440 But the thought that Lindsey Graham is my representative down here

00:53:57.940 is embarrassing.

00:54:01.280 Embarrassing. 1.00

00:54:02.480 He jumped right on the make Iran great again thing, 0.64

00:54:07.560 answering trump's tweet he said as usual president trump is spot on with his desire to make iran 0.67

00:54:17.080 great again by changing the regime either through their behavior or new leadership

00:54:22.360 as president trump suggested who in their right mind would want this regime to continue the status

00:54:30.560 quo attacking their neighbors oppressing their people and being the largest state sponsor of 0.99

00:54:36.860 terrorism on the planet if you like that you're a sick puppy whoa lindsey language 0.98

00:54:44.020 thick puppy count me in for any possible any way possible to make iran great again by making it 0.99

00:54:56.500 decent again m-i-g-a any way possible is this the way an american politician should be talking

00:55:09.720 about making iran great again by any way possible you know what that includes yeah

00:55:19.600 American soldiers marching on Iranian soil getting killed

00:55:28.820 because Lindsey Graham wants to make Iran great again? 1.00

00:55:37.000 Bastard. 1.00

00:55:38.600 I hate this guy. 1.00

00:55:41.100 He'll keep winning, though. 0.91

00:55:42.660 Like Schumer keeps winning up in New York.

00:55:45.300 Graham keeps winning down here in South Kakalaki 1.00

00:55:48.060 because people are stupid because people are stupid no matter where you go there you are 1.00

00:55:54.660 and people are stupid oh i would love to see this guy get primaried never never he's too beholden 1.00

00:56:04.880 to too many people of power and wealth and what not geez it is crazy so uh there are a couple of 1.00

00:56:16.760 More great politicians and, of course, the news.

00:56:20.980 And what they're telling you at this point is that Trump and company has thrown away the Constitution.

00:56:31.160 How many times during Trump's administration so far have the Democrats dubbed him having thrown away the Constitution, stepped on it?

00:56:42.960 I use it as toilet paper when I'm out of paper.

00:56:46.760 on my golden toilet that's what they uh make of uh donald trump that he throws away the 0.75

00:56:53.400 constitution uh there's a couple of clips here here's uh the lovely and talented jasmine crockett

00:57:02.280 talking about how uh it's unconstitutional that trump did not inform congress before uh declaring

00:57:15.860 war i guess is how they feel uh what he's done uh an airstrike what on uh iran let's listen to uh

00:57:23.100 jasmine oh you don't have the jasmine crockett bit oh what happened there let me see i thought

00:57:29.100 i sent that one well uh then i'll i'll just i'll read the pelosi bit because it's pretty much the

00:57:36.480 same thing tonight the president ignored the constitution ignored it by unilaterally engaging

00:57:45.140 our military without congressional

00:57:47.120 authorization

00:57:48.280 I join my

00:57:50.920 colleagues. Who are your colleagues

00:57:53.360 Nancy? Drunks

00:57:55.260 at the local gin mill 1.00

00:57:56.800 those are her colleagues

00:57:59.640 people that

00:58:01.580 get insider

00:58:03.620 information at the

00:58:05.560 stock market to make

00:58:06.720 gazillions of dollars

00:58:08.780 after having information

00:58:11.480 you're privy to

00:58:13.360 Hmm.

00:58:14.140 Are those your colleagues?

00:58:16.040 I join my colleagues in demanding answers from the administration on this operation.

00:58:23.340 Administration operation, which endangers American lives and risks further escalation

00:58:29.180 and dangerous destabilization, escalation, destabilization of the region.

00:58:36.580 Well, this and Crockett said the same thing, only she added in a few y'alls and but it's this thought that because Trump made these airstrikes in Iran, that somehow he thwarted the Constitution by not informing Congress beforehand.

00:59:03.080 Well, there are many laws.

00:59:07.320 I see people tell me don't hit the bottom of the mic stand, and I do it.

00:59:11.180 I've got to keep my hand away.

00:59:12.320 I'm listening.

00:59:13.220 I listen to you people.

00:59:16.620 Yeah, there isn't a rule, a law,

00:59:22.380 that says that the president can't, on his own accord,

00:59:27.480 as commander-in-chief of the military, take military action.

00:59:33.080 He has to inform Congress within 48 hours of whatever military action he's doing,

00:59:40.860 which he absolutely did.

00:59:43.400 He got in front of the American people after it happened,

00:59:46.700 and I assume Congress was watching.

00:59:51.320 And this is totally legitimate, totally legal.

00:59:55.320 There are many instances. 0.51

00:59:57.620 Because Reagan, yes, Operation El Dorado Canyon, those were my Libya strikes. 0.73

01:00:08.340 Remember back in the day?

01:00:10.160 Reagan would do that.

01:00:11.900 No declaration of war.

01:00:14.520 George H.W. Bush, Operation Desert Storm.

01:00:17.700 The Iraq invasion was a U.N. resolution.

01:00:22.240 No formal war declaration.

01:00:25.320 So even that, for how huge that was, it didn't fall under that.

01:00:32.480 Bill Clinton, Operation Deliberate Force.

01:00:36.320 That's when I forced to, yeah, we get it, scar the whole thing.

01:00:39.960 And the Bosnian airstrikes, you would have thought the United States was at war with Bosnia.

01:00:45.900 And then the Kosovo airstrikes, Bill Clinton in 99, Operation Allied Force.

01:00:54.320 uh somalia you might uh recall that debacle it's a great movie black hawk down 2001 george w bush

01:01:05.080 invasion of afghanistan that sure looked like a war to me but it didn't it fell under the uh umf

01:01:14.460 Hey, you, MF, get over here.

01:01:18.960 But no declaration of war.

01:01:21.580 2003, George W. Bush, initial Iraqi airstrikes, part of the broader invasion.

01:01:27.620 Barack Obama, Operation Odyssey, Dawn.

01:01:31.940 We got, like, what do we have?

01:01:35.520 Midnight Hammer.

01:01:36.900 Trump has Operation Midnight Hammer.

01:01:39.300 and Clinton or Obama's Operation Odyssey Dawn.

01:01:45.840 This is a beautiful operation.

01:01:48.100 Picture Odyssey in dawn, the rising light of the sun.

01:01:56.180 Donald Trump, Syrian airstrikes, response to chemical attacks, 2017 and 18.

01:02:02.360 And then Sleepy Joe, Sleepy Joe, 2024, Joe Biden strikes against the Houthi rebel

01:02:09.280 and Yemen airstrikes that went on many, many times in 2004

01:02:14.540 during his entire administration. 1.00

01:02:18.040 So when these idiots get out there and talk about how 1.00

01:02:21.180 he needed to have some congressional approval, 1.00

01:02:27.180 get out of here.

01:02:29.360 It's the only reason, by the way, that there wasn't a leak.

01:02:33.980 These people didn't know.

01:02:35.700 The Democrats didn't know, and they got blabbermouths.

01:02:39.280 and this went off without a hitch, and no one knew it was happening 1.00

01:02:44.200 because these Democrat idiots and even Republicans in Congress 1.00

01:02:49.300 were not told this was happening. 1.00

01:02:52.740 So plug the leaks, and maybe you'll be privy to the info next time.

01:02:55.880 Back in a flash with more Anthony Cumia Show.

01:03:00.180 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:03:04.840 it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

01:03:14.400 welcome back to the anthony cumia show yeah i was reminded um you know everyone's all peeved

01:03:22.380 at donald trump for uh ridding the country of illegal aliens people that are not american

01:03:30.580 citizens regardless of what people say they're deporting american citizens show me one show me 0.59

01:03:37.480 one american citizen being deported again moralize uh barack hussein obama he blew up an american

01:03:46.260 citizen there was an airstrike on an american citizen overseas uh so there's that but for some

01:03:56.860 reason you know whatever we do uh whatever trump does the administration uh is is against the

01:04:04.840 constitution uh you know there's another great segment i'm tapping the mic again stop it i'm

01:04:12.460 gonna tie my hands to the chair just gonna handcuff myself to the chair uh another little

01:04:19.680 segment we like here called fake news it's all fake now fake news folks fake news it's the

01:04:26.640 Fake news, fake stories, news moment, fake stories.

01:04:31.220 I love that line.

01:04:33.180 The fake news.

01:04:34.820 It's because Adam Schiff was on the news, which instantly makes it fake news.

01:04:39.780 The guy is incapable of telling the truth.

01:04:43.500 He is only about the propaganda that is rife in his party and the media that backs his party.

01:04:52.580 So here's Schiff.

01:04:54.060 He's just crapping on the airstrike in Iran, the nuclear facility.

01:04:59.420 And, you know, you can tell.

01:05:01.320 I don't have to tell anybody.

01:05:02.720 I don't have to convince anybody.

01:05:04.600 The only reason he's doing this is purely political.

01:05:08.260 If for some reason, sleepy Joe Biden had decided, or whoever was running the strings and the auto pen, that the Iranian nuclear facility needed to be bombed, the same thing could happen. 0.94

01:05:24.060 And Adam Schiff would have been the cheerleader, the little, short, fat, ugly cheerleader. 0.93

01:05:31.440 And he'd love this. 0.99

01:05:33.720 But it's Trump.

01:05:34.940 So for pure political reasons, this, again, is unconstitutional and terrible. 0.86

01:05:40.620 Let's listen to a little, tiny, fat Adam Schiff.

01:05:45.320 First of all, Casey, I want to express my gratitude that the pilots are all out safely

01:05:51.300 and acknowledge the skill, the bravery, and the professionalism of all the military forces

01:05:57.520 that were engaged in this military operation.

01:06:00.740 But it's not an operation that should have ever been authorized by the president

01:06:04.260 in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb.

01:06:10.640 The intelligence I've seen, and it's been limited, indicates that Iran had certainly enriched uranium

01:06:16.920 but had not made the decision to build a bomb or pursue the mechanism of a bomb.

01:06:21.980 And in the absence of that, this is not a strike that should have been ordered.

01:06:25.620 In watching Hegzeth during that press conference this morning, we saw a lot of arrogance from the defense secretary.

01:06:31.560 And as wars in the Middle East have demonstrated, arrogance is a deadly commodity.

01:06:37.600 We simply don't know what is going to occur now, whether Iran will retaliate,

01:06:43.560 whether Iran was able to evacuate some of the enriched material from Fordow.

01:06:49.360 There were satellite commercial satellite images of trucks lined up at Fordow

01:06:53.680 and leaving Fordow in the days preceding the strike.

01:06:56.520 So a lot of questions, including the risk to American service members,

01:07:01.280 in terms of is there anything positive to come out of it, yes. 1.00

01:07:04.860 I mean, the destruction of these facilities is a positive 0.97

01:07:08.120 in the sense that it will set back Iran's program. 0.97

01:07:12.980 And look, this is a nefarious regime that is the preeminent state sponsor of terror. 0.76

01:07:19.140 It should have never been pursuing a nuclear program.

01:07:22.500 But it is very possible, and I think we have to anticipate.

01:07:26.220 Iran now kicks out any inspectors.

01:07:28.480 It leaves the nonproliferation treaty. 0.60

01:07:31.400 And if it wasn't in a sprint for a bomb, it is now going to engage in a sprint for the bomb.

01:07:36.800 So a lot of uncertainty.

01:07:37.780 All right.

01:07:38.080 You could cut them off there. 0.77

01:07:40.680 It's just amazing.

01:07:42.200 He can't even give him the compliment, even though, you know, they love it.

01:07:47.220 They love bombings.

01:07:49.080 Anything to do with bombing someone.

01:07:51.520 Oh, the Democrats love it.

01:07:53.840 And arrogance.

01:07:55.100 It shows an arrogance in the Middle East, an arrogance of what would you call the Afghan pullout under Joe Biden?

01:08:03.700 There was a little arrogance there, wasn't there?

01:08:06.860 And we had 13 service members killed a complete all the equipment you need for for a modern army was left over there by Joe Biden.

01:08:19.700 Did Adam Schiff say anything about that?

01:08:23.400 Did we ever hear from Adam Schiff about the debacle that was the Afghan pullout?

01:08:29.360 Nothing. Nothing.

01:08:31.400 All they did was criticize the Republicans and Trump for saying that it was a mess.

01:08:39.420 How about that?

01:08:41.180 Nothing.

01:08:42.120 Nothing, Adam.

01:08:43.260 Just purely political.

01:08:46.260 That's all they know.

01:08:48.540 They could see something miraculous happen under a Republican administration.

01:08:55.640 I won't even say Trump.

01:08:57.300 And they will never give it the credit it's due.

01:09:01.400 It will just be a problem, something that shouldn't have been done, something that needs to be reversed,

01:09:08.940 because it's all come down to what can we put in the next election's political ads to make the other side look bad.

01:09:19.140 It's not even about the benefit of the country and the American people anymore, if it ever was.

01:09:27.320 I think I remember a time where at least they faked it.

01:09:30.300 at least they faked it now what do we get we get uh lies uh we get political cheerleaders

01:09:42.240 and nothing gets accomplished and if it does the other side just uh tries to reverse it

01:09:49.220 we've seen it all the the judges trying to reverse everything trump's done just because

01:09:55.360 they don't want

01:09:56.880 Trump to succeed

01:09:58.640 or the country to succeed

01:10:00.920 under the

01:10:03.080 opposing administration. 0.98

01:10:05.400 It's disgusting.

01:10:47.920 it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

01:10:59.720 yes the anthony cumia show let's go right to the phones joaquin in the great state of

01:11:05.800 pennsylvania what's up hey anthony hey good sunday to you thank you so anyway you know something

01:11:14.020 When that guy said October Sabbath, actually, I mean, it did occur on a Sabbath.

01:11:19.540 It was a Saturday, and it was also a Jewish holiday.

01:11:22.500 Oh, was it? 0.85

01:11:23.780 Yeah.

01:11:24.600 Yeah, actually, I heard Charlie Kirk debating somebody on the whole thing about, you know. 1.00

01:11:29.740 Well, I just naturally defaulted that Rich Voss was being an idiot. 1.00

01:11:36.740 That's okay, because you know what? 1.00

01:11:38.600 There are a lot of idiots, you know, and unfortunately, you know, 1.00

01:11:42.120 we have to really consider, you know, survival of our American society. 1.00

01:11:46.680 And, you know, something, another way I know that Trump made the right decision is because it's completely pissing off the Democrats.

01:11:52.240 And for some reason, yeah, and you really look at it, everything that they do is against the sovereignty of this nation.

01:11:58.660 But really right now, you know, to see what's going on in our country, we have to start to understand that there's a globalist agenda that wants to surrender our sovereignty in this country, you know, to the globalist agenda.

01:12:08.300 And they don't care about America first, you know, and I agree with you, Lindsey Lindsey Graham makes me nervous. 0.56

01:12:13.560 But I think that there's no war that Lindsey Graham doesn't doesn't love, you know, but in this particular in this particular situation, why would we even want to take the chance on Iran getting a nuclear weapon?

01:12:25.060 And not to mention the fact that, you know, God forbid things go bad in the midterms or even worse. 1.00

01:12:31.040 We get a Democrat as president in 2028.

01:12:34.880 What did they do before?

01:12:36.140 They gave them pallets of cash.

01:12:37.940 You know, they enabled them.

01:12:39.420 Basically, they were they were writing the check to give them to give them a nuclear bomb.

01:12:44.920 And, you know, that's a that's a great point, Joaquin, because it always seems like when the Democrats get into office and get power, if it's the presidency, if it's both houses and the presidency,

01:12:58.600 They make such a mess that it just takes so much energy and time to clean it up that it's very difficult to do anything else.

01:13:09.420 I mean, the border, look at what we're doing at the border.

01:13:11.660 And then the Democrats bitch about what needs to be done to get the illegals out, close the border up and try, try our hardest to get back to some normalcy as far as the border is concerned.

01:13:23.440 and they fight it every step of the way and they're the ones responsible for us having to 0.90

01:13:31.100 clean it up now think about this you know one reason why we have a really big problem with 1.00

01:13:36.580 blue cities i would imagine if we got rid of a lot of these illegal immigrants and you cannot 0.99

01:13:41.460 say that they're not voting in at least local elections oh hell yeah the fact that you know 0.99

01:13:47.140 that they're uh padding you know the congressional districts for these for these blue states and blue

01:13:52.080 city. And I saw a funny thing, actually, on Facebook. Somebody put a picture of a car up

01:13:56.940 that said, why isn't ice, you know, going into red states? And, you know, I thought that would

01:14:02.060 be a really fantastic idea. Why doesn't ice go into red states and start cleaning up the blue 0.98

01:14:06.020 cities and red states like in Texas and Florida and other places and really make those states red?

01:14:12.400 Well, you know, they they love bringing that up, especially where crime is concerned. You'll hear

01:14:17.300 people go look at the red states where crime is higher than these blue states and you go well look

01:14:23.640 at every major city in these red states they're all run by democrats who aren't tough on crime

01:14:30.800 they have this bail reform where they're letting everybody go and that's why the state itself is

01:14:37.760 considered a red state that is uh uh you know rife with crime but yeah clean those blue cities up

01:14:46.160 Oh, it'd be beautiful. You did those because New York, New York is is basically a red state.

01:14:53.200 So is California. If you take away L.A. and the Bay Area and whatnot, there's a lot of Republicans in those states.

01:15:02.920 But the cities are so deep blue. And if those were cleaned up, ah, paradise.

01:15:09.220 you know and also too you know the other thing is is you know matt keeps saying you know his

01:15:15.840 his stuff and unfortunately you know what's going to happen if if we desert israel

01:15:19.800 and and and they allow you know the palestinians you know the quote-unquote which they've had in

01:15:26.040 in gaza let's face it those territories israel is a sovereign nation and it was created when

01:15:33.160 when we won world war one british territories they created israel you know and there were

01:15:38.420 plenty of opportunities where there were green lines. There were specific boundaries, you know,

01:15:42.380 made for the Palestinian people. And every single time, you know, they crossed the line. And then 1.00

01:15:46.920 you had the wars in 47 and 48 and 67, where finally, you know, the Israelis, they defeated

01:15:54.900 their Arab enemies, the Egyptians, Jordanians, I forgot who else, that attacked them. And finally,

01:16:01.160 under natural and international law at that time, Israel owned those territories. And they made 0.88

01:16:08.100 their best to try and live in peace but when you look at Hamas's charter and and let's face it 0.92

01:16:12.660 you know the history of the world is one of those who conquer and those who you know who get conquered 0.99

01:16:17.300 and unfortunately there's aspects of Islam that really want to you know take over the world and 1.00

01:16:22.740 look at what's happening in in Europe now these European nations now are being overrun and you 0.94

01:16:29.620 know that they want even even here we have that that city in Texas that wants to bring Sharia law 0.78

01:16:34.700 and you go through the history books you know the stories of all these these places and you

01:16:41.980 see what happens and quite frankly as far as iran is concerned it is interesting i was doing

01:16:46.780 some reading and you know the iranian revolution of 79 it is interesting that the iranian people

01:16:52.280 pretty much got what they wanted but they got more than they bargained for i think i don't think they 0.93

01:16:56.260 maybe that's it i i never understood seeing what you know the shah was a piece of garbage too i 0.83

01:17:03.320 I mean, you know, that whole royalty thing and the people weren't treated very well. 0.83

01:17:09.360 But the idea that that they could want rule under the Ayatollah and going into this caveman, it's a caveman state, was a little weird to me.

01:17:25.660 And again, I don't understand them.

01:17:28.000 They don't understand us for the most part. 0.95

01:17:30.300 But I can't imagine people would rather have lived under Sharia law than how they were under the Shah. 0.98

01:17:37.400 Right. And also, too, I actually do sometimes wonder why exactly did we go and, you know, destabilize Iraq? 0.92

01:17:43.780 Because, you know, Iraq actually is a multi multicultural country, actually multi even religions. 0.63

01:17:51.040 And Saddam Hussein being a Baptist or whatever it was that was in control actually kept the Muslim population.

01:17:57.380 Oh, he didn't like Muslims.

01:17:58.700 A lot of people are under the false impression that Iraq was a Muslim country.

01:18:03.540 No.

01:18:04.380 He was a Ba'athist.

01:18:05.500 And I don't know.

01:18:07.200 What do you think? 0.71

01:18:08.260 Have you given thought to why the hell would he have gone into Kuwait like that? 1.00

01:18:13.620 That was the perfect opportunity for the entire world to kick his ass. 1.00

01:18:18.920 Was that a work? 1.00

01:18:22.080 You know, I've always pondered that question myself.

01:18:26.040 because it makes no sense because you know something iraq and iran were natural enemies

01:18:30.300 yeah and you know so if we got a problem with iran why did we want to take out the natural

01:18:35.900 enemy that was iraq and also considering you know the the march that certain sects i don't

01:18:41.480 want to sound like an islamaphobe you know but there's you know there's certain sects of islam

01:18:46.100 and and this has been through history they they go out and they conquer i mean look at turkey 0.55

01:18:49.980 look at what they did to the armenian armenian genocide those those are actually christians in

01:18:55.780 that area and they were taken out and they were massacred and they were slaughtered and the ones

01:19:00.380 that survived actually were forced to convert to islam or were made were made slaves you'd be very 0.93

01:19:07.540 hard-pressed uh to not find many many instances where uh islam has uh done terrible things to 0.87

01:19:16.960 to other people um other religions other people around the world thank you joaquin uh yeah 0.99

01:19:24.180 Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. That did seem a little weird. Like Saddam Hussein just had he had his country, Iraq. He had quite the hold on it. He would trip up and every so often someone would lob some missiles in on him or what have you.

01:19:40.360 But as long as he was Iran's enemy, he was kind of our friend. 0.75

01:19:45.060 Why would you then go, oh, I'm going to take everything that that I built and gamble it all on Kuwait? 0.77

01:19:54.980 They have their own oil. 0.74

01:19:56.840 What does Kuwait have? 0.96

01:19:58.760 And that was like the go ahead for the entire world to go. 0.97

01:20:02.420 Yeah, let's just go in there and get Saddam Hussein out of power.

01:20:07.800 Weird.

01:20:08.360 But that would seem to be a pretty hard thing to pull off if it wasn't him.

01:20:15.200 You know, like we figured out a way to fake that Iraq went into Kuwait.

01:20:23.440 Interesting concept.

01:20:26.540 Vice President Vance, a very vocal guy.

01:20:31.020 He's not one to take a back seat like many vice presidents have over the course of the years.

01:20:38.500 It's a ceremonial spot for a lot of administrations.

01:20:42.400 They just cut ribbons for a new bridge or entertain some second-rate dignitary.

01:20:51.120 But Vance is out there.

01:20:53.020 I think he knows he's got to be out there because this is Trump's last term, and he's kind of the guy.

01:21:01.020 So he's got to be visible to the American people.

01:21:04.440 So he had some comments on the surgical strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities

01:21:11.560 and the idea that, yeah, the Iranians might possibly respond to this.

01:21:16.860 And what would we then be forced to do?

01:21:20.500 Let's listen to Vice President Vance.

01:21:23.720 What we're prepared for is if they attack us in a maximal direction,

01:21:27.320 first of all, we've got maximum defensive posture.

01:21:30.400 I think that we're going to be able to defend as many of our people as possible.

01:21:34.100 And, of course, I'd encourage Americans to pray for our guys in the Middle East because, yes, they are under a significant amount of duress and a significant amount of threat right now.

01:21:42.460 But then, of course, John, if the Iranians attack us, they're going to be met with overwhelming force.

01:21:46.640 And I don't think the president could be clear about this.

01:21:48.620 If you look at what we did yesterday, John, we did not attack the nation of Iran.

01:21:53.160 We did not attack any civilian targets. 0.56

01:21:55.460 We didn't even attack military targets outside of the three nuclear weapons facilities that we thought were important to accomplish our goal of preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon. 0.84

01:22:07.540 So how Iran responds, I think, is ultimately the ball is in their court. 0.77

01:22:11.580 But if you look at what we did, it was very precise, very narrowly tailored to our objective.

01:22:16.800 And if the Iranians decide to expand this, then that's ultimately their decision and the president of the United States will respond in kind.

01:22:25.460 Okay. Do a little easy reading between the lines here. He made a point of saying that these were extremely surgical strikes. There was a mission, take out this nuclear facility.

01:22:40.780 And it was done with the right munitions, with the right aircraft and people, and no innocent people, no citizens, and no structures that weren't this one target were affected. 0.74

01:22:59.200 And he made a point of saying that and then goes, now let's see how Iran responds to our amazingly surgical and harmless on anyone else in Iran.

01:23:13.460 We didn't attack Iranians.

01:23:16.400 He's really prefacing what he said with, if you respond, you better figure out a way to just blow up some machine somewhere. 0.96

01:23:28.140 oh there's an american windmill let's blow it up and don't kill any people don't hurt any

01:23:36.280 uh uh infrastructure that isn't part of that military facility uh so they're they're leaving

01:23:45.860 we're as americans and vance here speaking and the trump administration are leaving this in a

01:23:52.940 way where it's like look we did this but it was done in such an amazingly uh humanitarian way

01:24:01.080 that if you do anything that affects american soldiers or american people uh then we can

01:24:09.200 respond with great force but if you just want to blow up a water pump somewhere u.s military

01:24:17.580 water pump then feel free we'll go well they definitely you know we deserved that

01:24:26.120 we blew up a nuclear facility we deserved having one of our little water pumps blown up

01:24:31.920 but uh if if if american soldiers are killed and or injured uh that's left wide open there

01:24:42.040 and i don't know it seems like uh the iranians are going what they called balls out so we said

01:24:51.880 back in the day balls out where you just you know whatever happens happens i'm going full speed

01:24:58.700 ahead here um israel doesn't seem to want to pull back on the reins i think they're doing what they

01:25:05.700 did in gaza with iran uh just keep hitting them till they give up and we were able to slip in

01:25:14.160 there and and damage or destroy these nuclear sites and where does that leave everything

01:25:21.480 does iran realize the futility of responding by by hurting americans

01:25:30.060 and do they understand that that would cost them greatly or do they go this is who we are

01:25:39.340 allow akbar and and go crazy and uh you know who cares we're we're out for blood so i guess

01:25:47.960 we'll probably see that within the next few days i can't imagine iraq wants to keep getting pounded 0.85

01:25:54.860 by israel and not utilize all of their uh their weaponry but if they choose america you know

01:26:01.580 whether you agree with it or not there's going to be hell to pay there and then it's not so much

01:26:08.180 well stay out of foreign wars why are we doing this uh trump said because then it's well

01:26:15.580 americans are killed we didn't kill any of that we just hit a facility but they killed americans

01:26:23.520 And that pretty much, over the course of history anyway, has given America carte blanche to just destroy. 0.97

01:26:32.460 And Americans have kind of liked that in a weird way.

01:26:37.660 Maybe liked isn't the right word, but understood it, and we've gotten behind it.

01:26:44.040 We're in a different place now where every single military action isn't embraced by the American people like it used to be. 0.57

01:26:57.280 And I think, full circle to the beginning of the show, I think it has a lot to do with Israel and this mindset in a large portion, larger than I think people would like to think,

01:27:10.760 of Americans that feel that the United States

01:27:15.360 is under some kind of power from Israel

01:27:19.680 and is doing Israel's bidding. 0.93

01:27:24.280 And that's why people aren't so quick to celebrate 0.83

01:27:30.280 an American, what's perceived as a victory

01:27:34.280 with these bombs.

01:27:35.800 Who knows what the effect was?

01:27:38.120 But hey, the guys got back

01:27:39.720 and the beautiful B-2 bombers, missions seemed to go off without a hitch.

01:27:44.940 And normally Americans in general would be pretty proud of that

01:27:48.600 and pretty flag-waving.

01:27:51.680 But I think it's this whole thing that's going on now

01:27:55.080 where it doesn't matter what America does.

01:27:58.140 It doesn't matter if it was good or it wasn't,

01:28:01.360 or it was successful, or how the administration was behind us. 0.53

01:28:07.400 it's just oh we did that because of israel well screw that i'm not waving the american flag

01:28:14.260 i'm america first but waving the flag because i don't think this was america first so we're in

01:28:21.340 this weird fractured kind of um environment with the american people and uh again you know the the

01:28:30.320 left boy they sure know how to stick together they stick together like glue they get their

01:28:36.000 marching orders they they they don't uh criticize each other or anything republicans boy the second

01:28:43.340 we get a little group together we just start taking swings at each other it's crazy i don't

01:28:51.020 know we'll see i mean i can't imagine iran won't respond they have to to even look you know maybe

01:29:00.300 to save face they did that a few times remember a few years back they tried to save face by

01:29:05.780 bombing something people that weren't there some missile sites and then it turned out it's like

01:29:12.320 all right we kind of dropped some bombs on them they fired something back and then it all calmed

01:29:18.500 down um so i don't know i don't know if they're going to do that or go what i call the balls out

01:29:25.480 we'll see we'll see um you know we're we're uh we're just citizens americans watching this unfold

01:29:36.780 with absolutely no accurate news on what is happening i don't care how many people believe

01:29:45.540 they are middle east experts because they were uh you know ukrainian experts last year

01:29:52.320 they become hurricane experts when

01:29:55.940 that happens, all with the flick

01:29:58.180 of a thumb on their phone. Everyone's an

01:30:00.040 expert. So I don't care what anyone's

01:30:02.200 saying. We really don't know

01:30:04.160 what's beneath those six

01:30:06.040 holes in a mountain in

01:30:08.180 Iran and what the

01:30:10.180 true motivation of

01:30:11.800 these maneuvers are.

01:30:14.200 So hopefully we

01:30:15.980 see. Hopefully it doesn't take 50, 60 years.

01:30:18.200 I'd like to know what it is.

01:30:20.180 And yeah, we'll come

01:30:21.960 back more of your calls and more of the anthony cumia show in moments it's the anthony cumia show

01:31:23.140 Thank you, Susan.

01:31:24.300 But you started out, and you said something about your mom, some of her wisdom, which she said, you know, half of what you believe, half of what you see and half of what you hear.

01:31:39.720 None of what you hear.

01:31:40.840 It's half of what you see and none of what you hear.

01:31:43.180 All you hear is BS, and even when you see something, only half of it is true. 0.99

01:31:50.120 It means there's a lot of crap going on out there, Susan. 0.99

01:31:54.540 Oh, I love that because I got it mixed up. 0.99

01:31:57.180 Yeah.

01:31:58.320 So what was it?

01:31:59.340 Half of what you see and none of what you hear.

01:32:04.860 Right.

01:32:05.300 So let's just say a cop is standing in front of you with his pen,

01:32:08.620 and he's moving it back and forth in front of your eyes.

01:32:11.740 believe half of that and then when he says you're under arrest for dui don't believe any of that

01:32:17.480 that's all i'm trying to say susan don't have to worry about that one but and i think it's you know

01:32:24.520 just like to frame that whole thing is and how we all feel right now yes you know we just don't know

01:32:32.120 what we don't know because we've been lied to so much that's exactly it we don't know what we don't

01:32:39.940 words of wisdom no but you know what listen remember when um you know biden's uh he had

01:32:47.920 that letter from 40 of our intelligence agents signed that there was no such thing as the hunter

01:32:55.100 biden laptop yeah yeah information yeah was that a lie a bunch of uh intelligence people the fbi

01:33:04.360 all of and it turned out to be absolutely a lie uh you know that's what they do and and i think

01:33:12.820 it's destroyed any confidence we could possibly have in our government and the media so that

01:33:19.260 when things happen we all now look at it with kind of a really did it happen that way or didn't it i

01:33:28.080 I just saw three or six, six holes in a mountain in Iran, and I'm told a an entire nuclear facility was completely destroyed and they are incapable now of enriching uranium and constructing nuclear weapons.

01:33:45.200 But I saw a picture, and then I saw another one with six holes, and why am I giving anyone

01:33:54.620 the benefit of the doubt in thinking they told me the truth?

01:34:00.580 Well, here's the thing.

01:34:02.240 Here's the bottom line.

01:34:03.120 Here's the thing.

01:34:04.720 That, you know, President Trump, he had to look at the upside potential and the downside

01:34:11.640 risk of this information.

01:34:15.200 So he's looking at Tulsi Gabbard saying there's no proof that Iran is even involved now or has been for a decade.

01:34:28.040 Now, we know that's not true because Obama gave them the payout of cash. 0.69

01:34:33.420 And there's evidence that they have been doing this.

01:34:39.340 But she said there was nothing.

01:34:41.200 And then we had Radcliffe saying, no, that's not true.

01:34:45.200 So President Trump had to weigh out the upside potential or the downside risk of not acting. 0.87

01:34:55.360 And when we have an enemy, a known enemy, we can go back and look at the things that Iran has done. 0.95

01:35:03.120 Oh, plenty of nefarious deeds over the course of the years, Susan. 1.00

01:35:06.840 We all know that.

01:35:08.460 We all know that.

01:35:09.620 So why should we say, no, this isn't speculation. 0.97

01:35:13.120 This is proof that these mullahs are, you know, that they have done and they keep saying that they will do. 1.00

01:35:22.140 So they have to take action to prevent the downside risk of blowing up everybody. 1.00

01:35:29.540 I got you.

01:35:30.820 Let's just leave on this.

01:35:32.100 They're a bunch of Mueller effers, aren't they?

01:35:35.040 Thank you, Susan.

01:35:36.320 Thank you. 0.92

01:35:37.040 She'll go away and tell that to her friends at the bar.

01:35:40.000 susan hey you love her oh my god so the iranian parliament voted so they they still do things

01:35:51.480 like that they vote on things uh to close off the strait of hermuz this has been ah the straits

01:35:58.680 of hermuz had just been a nightmare over the course of the years it's this little tiny bend

01:36:04.560 uh in in in the water that needs uh to be open all the time like everything goes through that

01:36:15.200 open it up chop off some uh countries over there and uh make it bigger so their their latest thing 0.97

01:36:24.700 is that they are going to close down the straits of her moves and um who knows what that'll lead

01:36:31.440 to uh that could be one of the repercussions for this but now you're screwing with the entire world

01:36:39.660 uh the the entire uh globe utilizes the straits of hormuz for oil and other goods so we'll see

01:36:49.740 how they do um as far as that goes and how are you going to enforce that a naval blockade with 0.82

01:36:56.020 your little speedboats, you'll be gone in a second.

01:36:59.940 So I don't think they have the muscle.

01:37:02.840 We got to hit him when we still have the muscle.

01:37:05.940 Back in a minute with more of the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:37:09.540 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:37:16.980 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:37:19.120 Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:37:23.360 Back with the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:37:26.720 Thank you for tuning in.

01:37:28.060 We do appreciate it so, so.

01:37:33.420 We'll take another call,

01:37:35.320 and then we'll move on to a couple of other things this hour

01:37:38.200 that have made me chuckle over the course of the previous week.

01:37:43.680 I think let's go to Greg.

01:37:47.580 What has Greg got here?

01:37:48.780 Hey, Greg, in Jersey?

01:37:50.380 Where are you, Jersey?

01:37:51.360 Yeah, how are you doing?

01:37:52.680 And a long time, first time, since the 90s.

01:37:55.200 Quack, quack.

01:37:55.860 Oh, thank you for the call.

01:37:57.300 Quack, quack.

01:37:58.760 Back when the drama first got one arm.

01:38:03.460 What do you got there, Greg?

01:38:05.460 So, recently I heard a quote from Ilhan Omar where she was discussing how Somalia with a dictator was better than America now.

01:38:14.460 Yes.

01:38:14.780 And if you listen to it carefully, you can hear that she's almost doing a Christopher Walken impersonation.

01:38:20.440 and i know how great you are though she's a walking impersonation of of somebody that

01:38:28.720 should not be in charge of any any city town she shouldn't be a dog catcher in this country 0.53

01:38:39.280 and somehow through you know again a lot of dei a lot of these democrat policies that have carved 1.00

01:38:48.420 out these enclaves of immigrants that want nothing to do with the way this country works and

01:38:58.080 uh its past ideology principles um ethics laws they just came in took over minnesota 0.98

01:39:09.940 which is odd to me it's cold like the opposite of somalia hot you got like freezing cold

01:39:18.360 minnesota and then they just they they have no no concept of of what this country is what it's 1.00

01:39:29.580 about what we as americans want in a nation and uh she's a mess i can't stand that one she's on 1.00

01:39:39.360 the top of my list of uh people that just should not be governing and they only vote based off of 1.00

01:39:47.900 You know, they're going to get what they want, and that's how it is,

01:39:51.480 and they're going to have their own city or community.

01:39:53.780 Yeah.

01:39:55.400 It's a foothold, right?

01:39:56.880 You ever see how, like, a siege works or how battles work?

01:40:01.140 You get a foothold, and you're able to reinforce that,

01:40:05.100 and it gives you a, you know, like a beachhead

01:40:07.700 or anything that gives you an area where you can move people

01:40:13.320 and equipment into without being attacked.

01:40:16.840 and then you can spread out from there it's it's so common and so obvious when you look at it in

01:40:25.600 that respect of war and a siege and a battle that's what they've done in a lot of these places

01:40:33.480 they make these little enclaves of people that want nothing to do with acting like americans

01:40:40.440 in the united states and then they're able to spread out and uh yeah when what do we have we

01:40:48.000 have a a community up there that despises america uh that's led by these these people that

01:40:55.820 um have no loyalty to this country they're loyal to the country that they left that they said was

01:41:03.400 so terrible so it's all good amazing that's why the minnesota vikings will never win a super bowl

01:41:10.720 hopefully not hopefully not get them out of there thank you you are the best thanks man

01:41:16.760 yeah oh i remember when i was governor there weren't shenanigans like that going on

01:41:25.760 I don't have time to bleed

01:41:30.020 remember

01:41:31.220 the governator

01:41:32.940 no that was Arnold

01:41:35.100 in California

01:41:36.120 I was a governor

01:41:38.300 a fighter

01:41:39.420 a Navy SEAL

01:41:41.480 thank you for your service

01:41:43.560 Ilyan Omar

01:41:45.160 has no part of this

01:41:47.840 what happened

01:41:51.160 we thought he was bad

01:41:52.460 we thought he was bad

01:41:55.020 oh my god um some other things going on besides the uh the big war uh vance of course vice

01:42:05.480 president vance uh you know this alex padilla guy he got uh detained momentarily detained

01:42:16.440 for running headlong at the Secretary of Homeland Security

01:42:23.240 without any identification on him.

01:42:27.160 They pin him down, law enforcement, in the room

01:42:30.260 like they absolutely should have

01:42:32.720 and escorted him out of the room

01:42:35.560 as he continuously tried to make his way to the podium.

01:42:40.800 And he says he was attacked.

01:42:43.940 all the politicians started

01:42:46.040 I gotta stop hitting this mic

01:42:47.540 all the politicians are like

01:42:49.620 this is terrible

01:42:50.980 this is Trump arresting

01:42:53.440 and manhandling

01:42:55.440 politicians on the opposing

01:42:57.820 side

01:42:58.460 it was just nonsense

01:43:01.320 this guy

01:43:03.160 deserved everything he got

01:43:05.520 and more

01:43:06.420 they really should have tuned him up a bit

01:43:09.300 give him the old wood shampoo

01:43:11.220 but nothing

01:43:14.040 They let him go.

01:43:16.500 It was nothing.

01:43:18.000 And this guy got on the center floor and just started crying about it.

01:43:22.860 And I was put down on my tummy.

01:43:26.860 My tum-tum hurt.

01:43:30.180 This guy, he cried.

01:43:33.840 So the latest thing now is Vance called him Jose.

01:43:41.100 His name is Alex Padilla.

01:43:45.160 And for some reason, Vance called him Jose.

01:43:49.420 Now, I swear to you, listening to this clip, and believe me, I would say it if I thought it.

01:43:55.020 It really seems like he didn't know this guy's name was Alex.

01:44:00.160 Like he just thought Jose.

01:44:02.440 Or Vance is a good actor, maybe.

01:44:04.720 You know, he really made me believe he thought this guy's name was Jose.

01:44:08.780 But irregardless, let's listen to Vance calling Alex Padilla Jose.

01:44:15.780 He's currently the president of the Senate where you serve.

01:44:18.540 He also went to Yale.

01:44:20.180 I assume that he knows your name is Alex Padilla.

01:44:22.620 Your response to him calling you Jose?

01:44:24.380 He knows my name.

01:44:25.480 He knows my name.

01:44:26.820 Look, sadly, it's just an indicator of how petty and unserious this administration is.

01:44:34.680 He's the vice president of the United States.

01:44:36.560 Do you think he'd take the situation in Los Angeles more seriously?

01:44:42.840 You know, you think maybe he'd take a moment to talk to some of the families who have been impacted, have been terrorized, to feel what's really going on on the ground?

01:44:51.260 You saw him shaking hands with Marines, but did he listen to the Marines?

01:44:54.560 Because we have, you know, the report after report of the Marines, so many of the Marines themselves that don't want to be there.

01:45:00.840 That's not why they enlisted. 0.56

01:45:02.820 Or if not the migrant families, how about the employers?

01:45:06.560 who I know are speaking up because they're concerned about their workforce.

01:45:10.960 We've got a lot of important work to do.

01:45:11.760 Politically motivated.

01:45:12.720 All right, we don't have to listen to his whole thing.

01:45:14.940 But, yeah, that was Padilla's response.

01:45:17.660 And he started getting his voice started cracking.

01:45:23.480 This guy's a crybaby, if I may be so bold and use such a harsh language. 0.97

01:45:29.520 Crybaby. 1.00

01:45:30.440 stick your head in gravy 0.99

01:45:33.260 wash it off with bubble gum 0.98

01:45:35.340 and send it to the Navy

01:45:36.800 yeah he got

01:45:39.240 choked up again

01:45:40.480 this guy

01:45:42.420 is not

01:45:44.640 I don't know strong willed

01:45:47.460 if you bust

01:45:49.260 up about things like this

01:45:50.920 how are you

01:45:53.160 fulfilling your obligation

01:45:54.620 as a representative of the country

01:45:57.260 when you burst into tears over

01:45:59.000 nothing

01:46:00.560 Nothing.

01:46:02.660 Okay, and now we'll listen to Vance calling him Jose.

01:46:07.100 Lawmakers handcuffed.

01:46:08.200 The New York Times just said a story.

01:46:09.440 They keep getting handcuffed, suggesting that the Trump administration is cracking down on Democrats.

01:46:14.260 Can you comment on that?

01:46:15.260 Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question,

01:46:18.240 but unfortunately I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't the theater.

01:46:21.760 And that's all it is.

01:46:22.600 I think everybody realizes that's what this is.

01:46:25.300 It's pure political theater.

01:46:27.680 These guys show up.

01:46:28.760 They want to be captured on camera doing something.

01:46:32.400 They want to be able to go back to their far left groups and to say, look, me, I stood up against border enforcement.

01:46:38.140 I stood up against Donald Trump.

01:46:39.500 But all they're really standing up for is for drug cartels to run rampant over our country and sex traffickers to be able to continue to traffic little kids into our country.

01:46:48.620 That's what you're doing when you stand against border enforcement.

01:46:51.780 So I think these guys, we ought to laugh them out of the building.

01:46:54.200 We ought to call them out for doing what they're doing, which is grandstanding.

01:46:57.580 And if they want to work seriously on border enforcement and on keeping their community safe, the Trump administration's door is wide open.

01:47:05.060 But they're not doing that.

01:47:06.140 They'd love the grandstanding.

01:47:07.660 They hate law enforcement because they hate the idea of the United States of America having a border.

01:47:12.560 It's a disgrace, but it is what it is.

01:47:15.060 Yep.

01:47:16.780 Absolutely.

01:47:17.260 Absolutely. When when a couple of these guys got a little publicity when they were, you know, they call it roughed up.

01:47:25.720 It was the most gentle way they could handle people in that situation, because, quite frankly, Alex, Alex, Jose Padilla should have been dragged out of there.

01:47:39.860 uh maybe tased i would have tased him he kept approaching he kept trying to get up

01:47:48.180 and run toward the podium that's the secretary of homeland security up there

01:47:54.420 what what are you thinking oh i i i had it uh my name was on my polo shirt under my jacket oh

01:48:04.880 Oh, they have x-ray vision now and can see through your jacket.

01:48:11.540 They handled him with kid gloves.

01:48:15.320 And when he still resisted, they did absolutely standard operating procedure.

01:48:21.920 You're on your belly.

01:48:23.380 Get them down on the ground.

01:48:25.360 You have more control over someone when they are on the ground than you do when they are standing.

01:48:31.080 And that situation, they looked at the situation and said, this guy needs to go onto the ground.

01:48:41.260 They pushed me onto the ground.

01:48:44.560 They handcuffed me.

01:48:47.120 They wouldn't tell me where they were taking me.

01:48:49.480 That's hilarious.

01:48:50.140 He goes, where are you taking me? 1.00

01:48:51.720 And they're like, no, we're getting you under control, idiot. 1.00

01:48:55.020 We're taking you away from this situation. 1.00

01:48:58.920 That's what law enforcement does.

01:49:01.080 There'll be time to chat about this in a little bit.

01:49:05.000 They always think, like, you didn't read me my rights.

01:49:09.560 They have one cuff on you.

01:49:11.880 You're resisting.

01:49:13.220 They're trying to put the other cuff on, and you're worried about my rights.

01:49:16.960 They didn't read me my rights.

01:49:19.600 So many of these people you see, whether they're politicians or car window lawyers when they get pulled over,

01:49:26.660 and it always ends in entertainment for me.

01:49:31.080 A little window break, dragging out of the vehicle, some handcuffing.

01:49:36.740 Maybe the face pushed into the grass or the asphalt. 1.00

01:49:40.900 And that's what this idiot, Alex Jose Padilla, deserved. 1.00

01:49:45.620 Don't cry. Don't cry. 1.00

01:49:49.680 Whoever told men that it was okay to cry was a...

01:49:55.740 Yeah, I can't use that word.

01:49:58.500 Hmm.

01:49:59.020 I'll try to come up with a word I could use when I come back.

01:50:03.240 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:50:26.300 I think you know the word I want to use.

01:50:29.020 I think you know the word I should use for Alex Jose Padilla crying.

01:50:35.480 Guy can't keep his eyes from getting all wet.

01:50:40.920 Yeah, there was some time, I guess, what, 70s, 80s?

01:50:46.100 Couldn't have been the 90s.

01:50:47.660 Men were men in the 90s.

01:50:49.540 somehow 0.73

01:50:51.420 women 1.00

01:50:52.900 therapists or whatever it is 0.99

01:50:55.780 convinced men it's a good idea 0.98

01:50:58.320 to cry

01:50:59.080 get your feelings out

01:51:01.460 it doesn't matter who's around 1.00

01:51:03.760 by the way women 1.00

01:52:31.900 My old man, my dad, and it was a terrible thigh cramp.

01:52:37.980 I was probably 12 years old and it tightened.

01:52:42.920 I straightened my leg.

01:52:43.920 It wouldn't go away.

01:52:45.060 It was like I screamed.

01:52:48.300 We were at some kind of a horse show thing.

01:52:50.520 A bunch of cowboys were there.

01:52:51.900 And there's Joey Coomey, his son, screaming like a little wussy. 0.58

01:52:58.300 sounded a little like that 0.62

01:53:06.120 and uh my dad came over to me and he goes i hear you scream like that again you better have an

01:53:17.400 arrow sticking out of your chest i'm like it's it's like the 70s where are we little big horn

01:53:27.160 i always found that funny that he chose an analogy from the 1800s hey your foot better be caught in a

01:53:37.040 big bear trap but you know i remembered that and that was that so this alex padilla just weeping

01:53:49.500 openly like this uh i'm not for that guys gotta be honest i'm not for a whimpering crying guy

01:53:59.140 i caught my dad joey cumey uh crying once it was devastating to me he had uh come home

01:54:07.560 his lemans he drove a lemans it caught on fire and uh the engine was uh on fire so he tried to

01:54:15.540 lift the hood and put the fire out and his hands got all burned.

01:54:19.660 So he came back home and my mom was at the sink with him,

01:54:24.720 putting cold water over his hands.

01:54:27.320 And I peeked around into the kitchen to see what was up.

01:54:30.600 And he turned around and I saw like tears coming down his eyes and he goes,

01:54:35.380 get the F out of here.

01:54:38.240 Like he was, 0.95

01:54:39.000 he was mad that I saw him crying and well,

01:54:41.640 he should be cause it's now 2025.

01:54:44.660 and I remember it vividly.

01:54:48.240 That was it, the only time.

01:54:51.160 He screwed up.

01:54:52.360 He was at 100% never crying. 0.93

01:54:54.760 And all I remember now is him crying

01:54:56.980 over his little Burt LeMond's hands.

01:55:00.540 How did I get on this tear?

01:55:03.060 Anyway.

01:55:05.740 New Yorkers, we love you.

01:55:08.240 You know we do.

01:55:09.100 I'm from New York originally,

01:55:11.080 down here now in South Carolina.

01:55:13.560 and it seems that your gracious, wonderful Governor Hochul

01:55:20.320 thinks you guys don't need $50 million.

01:55:25.520 $50 million, mere bag of shells, Naughton.

01:55:29.400 She wants to give it to not only just illegal aliens, 0.88

01:55:34.460 to illegal alien lawyers, the lawyers for the illegal aliens.

01:55:40.720 This should be a no-brainer. 0.70

01:55:43.100 This is a complete deal-breaker. 1.00

01:55:46.020 She should not be the governor when she pulls crap like this. 0.99

01:55:51.780 Listen to this. 1.00

01:55:52.760 This is her saying it, folks.

01:55:54.740 They're walking out of this courthouse, taken away from their families.

01:56:01.580 They don't have the attention.

01:56:04.160 They don't have the lawyers.

01:56:05.200 And that's why the state of New York is providing $50 million to cover legal services for people who are finding themselves in this situation.

01:56:17.560 $50 million.

01:56:20.400 Hello, I'm an illegal. I need a lawyer.

01:56:24.000 I heard you have $50 million.

01:56:26.940 I was very injured by ice.

01:56:30.320 Oh, they hurt me.

01:56:31.480 My glasses broke and my shoes fell off.

01:56:36.400 Why the hell is New York giving illegal alien lawyers $50 million?

01:56:47.960 I swear there isn't a single story that comes out of New York State that makes me regret leaving the state.

01:56:57.760 Not a one.

01:56:58.820 it's beyond me how the state has anyone living there anymore

01:57:05.740 i talked to a lot of people they're trying to leave i know rogan's trying to entice people

01:57:13.600 to go to austin and there are a few new york comics in that collection of people 0.97

01:57:18.080 i think legion of skanks those guys rogan's telling them get get your ass down here to

01:57:23.460 austin austin texas it's tough to leave new york for some reason there's this um impression that 0.96

01:57:33.420 it's there's some value in being there and i think there used to be before covet even even

01:57:39.920 that recently relatively speaking there's like this um misconception that a new york address

01:57:48.860 or having a business in New York meant it was better than somewhere else,

01:57:53.960 that your business was better than a business somewhere else.

01:57:57.340 And then COVID came around.

01:57:58.900 A lot of people were able to do their jobs from home,

01:58:01.560 so the suburbs of New York.

01:58:03.560 And then it became, well, if I could do it from the suburbs of New York,

01:58:07.080 I could do it from another state.

01:58:09.900 And then you check the pros and cons and go,

01:58:12.140 why the hell am I even still in New York?

01:58:16.540 so a lot of people are leaving and and i don't think uh governor hochel taking 50 million of

01:58:28.660 your dollars and giving it to lawyers so they can represent people that should not be here in the

01:58:35.640 first place i could have had lee zelden led zeppelin lee zelden you could have had him as

01:58:43.840 your governor. I wonder, I wonder if I would have stayed

01:58:47.640 if Lee Zeldin would. Be back in a flash.

01:58:52.160 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast

01:58:55.760 Network.

01:58:59.280 It's the Anthony Cumia Show. Entertaining and informative.

01:59:03.720 On the Red Apple Podcast Network. The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:59:09.040 Welcome back. My good buddy

01:59:11.720 chris from lindenhurst chris what's up man yo man you know i love how every sunday night i tune in

01:59:19.440 praying for some kind of good news some kind of uplifting story but you know i was going to talk

01:59:27.500 about the united nations but why bother with that you brought up kathy holkle in this god-forsaken

01:59:33.260 state that that i'm stuck in living in uh you know the the reason i can't leave this state

01:59:41.400 And I'm sure that there are other people who are kind of in the same boat.

01:59:45.280 I have family here.

01:59:46.580 It's all I've ever known.

01:59:47.920 I have kids here.

01:59:49.460 But the biggest thing is my job is here.

01:59:51.360 And I've been looking for a job other places, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, for three years at least.

01:59:57.340 Haven't been able to find anything.

01:59:59.180 And the money I make here on the island, I live on Long Island, is good.

02:00:02.600 but the problem is is that my kids and a lot of kids their age cannot afford to start a life here

02:00:12.400 on long island or anywhere in new york of course not so i think it would be better because a lot

02:00:17.300 of people i know chris a lot of people say well my kids and i think that's just another way to not

02:00:25.780 have to make that commitment to leaving but you're doing them a favor my sister before i even moved

02:00:33.140 down here my sister moved just outside of myrtle because she was disgusted with the way her son was

02:00:39.700 being treated in school during covet and then she's like moving down to south carolina i'm

02:00:46.420 gonna look into it she looked and said the schools are open down there like they're actually going to

02:00:52.900 school looking each other in the full face not half a face with a mask on it and said of course

02:00:59.440 this is better for my kid i don't know many people that can look at new york now and think

02:01:06.280 well it's still better for my kids than leaving no i don't see it chris no it's not and like you

02:01:13.380 mentioned before zelden got in it wasn't going to change much in this state the fact is that the

02:01:19.180 real estate market in this state is completely out of control for anybody you know the average

02:01:24.540 home prices are you know six seven hundred thousand dollars and for what so you can live 0.92

02:01:29.420 amongst ms13 and and yes the latin kings and there's not one area of long island new york 0.68

02:01:37.320 anymore honestly that doesn't have an uh an area like you go oh yeah no this is great dicks hills

02:01:44.920 I live in Dix Hills, it's wonderful.

02:01:46.660 And then you go, yeah, but don't go to Wine Dance,

02:01:49.460 which is right over there across the tracks or something.

02:01:52.320 Like, there's always a place.

02:01:54.880 There's not one area that's just, oh, this is awesome.

02:01:57.880 It's a great place, and you could run for miles and never see a bad place.

02:02:03.260 So what's the attraction anymore to staying?

02:02:06.760 It's not.

02:02:07.540 You know, 30 years ago, when my parents moved from living in Queens,

02:02:12.440 moved to Long Island, Long Island was suburban.

02:02:15.480 They tell me all the time, oh, you know, we got the house.

02:02:18.300 It was $100,000, and everything was all new, and it was all nice and quiet.

02:02:23.680 The Robert Moses Parkways kept them out of the beaches.

02:02:26.760 I know, Chris.

02:02:30.300 But, you know, my kids are never going to be able to start a life here on their own.

02:02:34.620 They can't afford it, and I know a lot of people who are in the same situation as me, their kids are the same way.

02:02:40.920 You know, they're going to be living at home until they're 50 years old.

02:02:43.900 Yeah.

02:02:44.180 Because you just can't do it.

02:02:45.140 That's why I have to get out of this state.

02:02:47.040 You've got to.

02:02:47.420 They have forced me to leave.

02:02:50.660 And, again, it's all I've ever known.

02:02:53.020 You know, everything you kind of want is here.

02:02:55.500 You've got the beaches, you've got the winter, you've got the city, you've got the sports teams.

02:02:58.260 Fine.

02:02:58.860 But I've had to throw all that away now and really put my family in front and say,

02:03:03.280 this is what's going to be best for my family going forward.

02:03:06.900 I have to.

02:03:08.680 Chris, there's that great old saying, no matter where you go, there you are.

02:03:13.460 it's always you're still you it's still your family there are wonderful things new york isn't

02:03:20.960 this amazing place that has it's not anymore nowhere else has uh and you know it would be

02:03:28.960 better and every single person i know that's left new york says why the hell did i uh wait

02:03:34.940 this long to do this yeah you know all right i got i gotta move on chris but uh i remember the

02:03:40.960 new the new expression of the night mega please oh mig the m yes the m i was getting scared there

02:03:48.420 a second all right chris there goes it was an m i swear the make iran great again that

02:03:57.220 south carolina's own lindsey graham loves the saying it's so annoying so i saw a couple of uh

02:04:07.820 A couple of stories that looked like it could have been some Iranian sleeper cells, because now that's what we're hearing, which I think is ridiculous. 0.87

02:04:23.080 I think there are people that want to do harm to Americans, and perhaps there are state-sponsored terrorists in this country. 0.89

02:04:32.160 Who would know? Joe Biden lets so many people in over the border, unvetted, that that could absolutely have happened.

02:04:40.020 But the idea that there's Iranians sitting around just with a phone next to him, waiting, going, well, it is time now you go do this is kind of silly to me. 0.79

02:04:53.060 A sleeper cell. So what are they working? They they're on the snap welfare program. 0.83

02:05:00.080 Do they have friends?

02:05:03.400 If you're a sleeper cell, the idea of a sleeper cell, because you hear that in movies,

02:05:08.080 because realistically, aside from 9-11, and I've heard so many people say,

02:05:13.380 well, that's even debatable, a sleeper cell is someone that just fits in.

02:05:19.660 They live their life as a person in whatever country they're in.

02:05:28.320 And then when the time comes, they jump to action.

02:05:33.660 So I don't know.

02:05:36.040 But I don't think it's real.

02:05:38.260 They just sit around, you know.

02:05:40.820 He's got neighbors.

02:05:42.620 He goes over to cookouts and hangs out at a local pub.

02:05:46.860 And then when the word comes in, he just turns all that off and goes on a shooting spree.

02:05:54.260 but we're being told that sleeper cells could perhaps um you know come our way

02:06:00.320 so i i hope that doesn't happen but um what i want to say about that is you got to take care

02:06:09.200 of yourselves you got to take care of yourselves we saw today i think it was a church down in

02:06:16.920 wain michigan we're up in wain michigan i guess it depends on where you are anthony

02:06:21.640 person drove a truck a pickup truck through the the front of the building the church and opened

02:06:30.400 fire on the uh the parishioners there thank god god there was a uh a security guard there

02:06:41.420 that was armed and dispatched the villain made quick work of him and killed him one person was

02:06:50.540 injured i believe it was a shot in the leg you're to blame uh but the good part is no one was killed

02:07:00.160 in the church the bad guy was killed because there was a person there that was armed whose

02:07:08.760 responsibility it was to look out for the people in that establishment that works

02:07:17.800 that protection works taking people's ability to defend themselves away doesn't work having no

02:07:31.280 gun zones doesn't work bad guys will go into no gun zones knowing that they could probably do

02:07:39.720 whatever they want without somebody shooting back at them so when we're looking at a situation like 0.54

02:07:47.180 this where the united states again is um struck at a foreign nation that is known for terrorist

02:07:57.360 events and their sponsorship of terrorism uh we have to take care of ourselves many years ago i

02:08:07.780 think we really thought the government would do that when when we would be on the outs with some

02:08:15.160 nation and and had some kind of heads up that they were out gunning for us you know the american

02:08:23.960 people are putting the crosshairs if you see something say something say something what

02:08:30.160 by the time i get the words out i'm dead so you have to take care of yourself

02:08:37.300 uh this has always been kind of a sticky wicket with people uh carrying carrying a concealed

02:08:46.180 weapon anytime anyone says anthony i'm thinking of getting a gun what should i get my first uh

02:08:53.480 words out of my mouth are educated educated on every single thing that has to do with guns

02:09:02.560 the laws how a gun works what gun is suited for you uh your your girl always i love when you have

02:09:13.160 to go with your girl to buy a gun see if she can rack the thing if it's an automatic get her a 0.90

02:09:19.280 revolver if not there are so many guns that girls like that they cannot pull the slide back 0.97

02:09:26.140 their little tiny fingers with their little painted nails but we are at a point in this country from 1.00

02:09:36.120 because of enemies uh foreign and domestic where you better damn well take care of you and yours

02:09:44.400 and with the uh stuff we've heard from homeland security and the fbi and um all the rest uh

02:09:56.140 There could be some issues with what we've done over in Iran and there might be people that want to do us harm.

02:10:06.140 And if you're depending on a government agency, the police, someone, anyone else to protect you or your family, you are selling the love of your family short, my friends.

02:10:23.800 you need to protect yourself and use the best tools available to you uh for me and a lot of

02:10:32.380 people it's it's a gun our god-given right as americans shall not be infringed keep and bear

02:10:42.220 and uh it's really the only the only thing that will put you on equal footing with someone that

02:10:53.760 means to do you harm now obviously if it's a a missile or a bomb coming down on you you could

02:11:01.440 shoot at it fun last few minutes of life seconds of life but uh for the most part it's going to be 0.92

02:11:09.260 things like someone with a gun trying to kill people in a place a soft target as they call it 0.96

02:11:19.100 and the only thing

02:11:22.620 the only thing

02:11:23.960 that has ever stopped

02:11:26.400 these events

02:11:27.300 is somebody else

02:11:30.020 shooting the bad guy

02:11:32.840 and then we have to 0.94

02:11:35.860 listen to people saying that

02:11:37.840 more gun laws are needed

02:11:39.720 or we need red flags

02:11:42.060 or this or that

02:11:43.380 and the evidence

02:11:45.640 is there

02:11:46.960 that when someone starts shooting innocent people,

02:11:51.060 it stops when one of those people or a security guard

02:11:55.680 or hopefully maybe even a cop is on premises

02:11:59.040 and doesn't react like they have in some circumstances

02:12:02.620 where they run away.

02:12:04.620 But that's the only thing that stops these dead in their tracks

02:12:08.440 is when a good person with a gun takes care of the bad person.

02:12:13.220 And sometimes that good person isn't going to be a cop

02:12:15.960 or a security guard, it might have to be you.

02:12:20.560 And there's nothing wrong with that.

02:12:23.440 You know, we live in dangerous times.

02:12:26.840 But like I said, if you want to do that,

02:12:31.660 I saw a movie the other day.

02:12:33.700 Oh, there was a saying.

02:12:35.160 With great power comes great responsibility.

02:12:37.560 It was a guy in a red suit.

02:12:39.900 And he jumped around a lot.

02:12:41.840 He was able to climb up buildings.

02:12:43.660 And that's true.

02:12:44.720 That is absolutely true.

02:12:47.780 You need to realize the unbelievable responsibility of owning and carrying a firearm with you at all times.

02:13:00.300 While absolutely it can be the difference between life and death for you and your family,

02:13:07.160 it can also be a prison sentence.

02:13:11.680 your own death

02:13:13.500 if you're not using it properly

02:13:16.000 you're not securing it

02:13:18.260 around children

02:13:19.180 if you

02:13:21.360 don't have the education to use

02:13:24.400 it and it's used against

02:13:26.400 you but

02:13:28.260 an educated

02:13:30.320 knowledgeable citizen

02:13:32.500 with a firearm

02:13:34.340 trained

02:13:35.840 with a firearm

02:13:37.560 can thwart

02:13:39.840 so much damage

02:13:41.580 from people out there that mean to do you or or your your fellow parishioners people in your

02:13:49.200 community school do them harm so uh yeah i am an unbelievably strong advocate of the second

02:14:01.420 amendment and when things like this happen and and as a nation we are all being threatened by

02:14:10.300 some outside force nation and and there's talk of sleeper cells and and then there can just be

02:14:19.020 fanatics it doesn't have to be some organized thing we've seen some islamic terrorists that

02:14:26.100 weren't connected to any actual uh governing body get pissed off and blow up citizens 0.71

02:14:36.620 seen this happen uh in in every western nation

02:14:40.780 so so the idea that someone is going to be there to save you is very naive we need to take care of

02:14:50.000 ourselves and each other all right let's see what uh we got here going on the phone we'll take a

02:14:59.380 quick uh call from steve steve manhattan what's up all right anthony and um boy in the last 60 1.00

02:15:09.360 years there have been thousands upon thousands of rapes in new york city if those girls were 1.00

02:15:15.180 carrying 22s with them i would suggest that there would probably be less rapes in a well-trained 1.00

02:15:21.220 woman with a firearm can dispatch a rapist or someone that wants to do her harm uh very 1.00

02:15:29.300 easily right small fingers and big fingernails i would say at 22 or the girls would walk around 1.00

02:15:36.120 with a bow and arrow or something and um this is the answer this is a 65 immigration act kicked 1.00

02:15:42.720 and now you're so about hope we'll talk about millions of dollars for lawyers for the tie up

02:15:46.840 the courts with the invaders 50 million bucks out of new york for lawyers yep right those lawyers

02:15:53.040 probably contribute to our campaign but i would like to tell people people remember during covid

02:15:57.940 And even after COVID, people going into all those big pharmacies in New York City with shopping carts and robbing the heck out of those places. 0.76

02:16:05.960 Those pharmacies in the last 10 years have been firing American workers and replacing them with invaders, with people from foreign countries. 0.73

02:16:16.700 A lot of people, I remember a woman in Manhattan, you know, the woman, such a nice lady, gone. 0.95

02:16:23.360 They fired her.

02:16:24.480 And these are American workers.

02:16:26.060 These are our people.

02:16:26.860 And when you're 50 years old and you have a family and you're married or even if you're single, what are you supposed to go back to college?

02:16:33.340 It's not. Yeah. Yeah. We know it. And this guy, Mambi, Zoran Mambi.

02:16:41.200 Oh, yeah. The guy running for mayor of New York, the communist running for the mayor of New York. 0.85

02:16:46.580 Well, he comes out of he comes out of the Del Castro's buck to the granddaughter's congressional district court. 0.84

02:16:55.020 I don't call her with the famous name if she's a he or she or she identifies as anything.

02:17:00.340 And every and every person who's elected statewide or city wise in her congressional district is a flat out communist.

02:17:10.380 That is, again, the 65 Immigration Act kicking in, along with the illegal invasion.

02:17:17.540 That's why people have to understand that even though people think the borders are secure.

02:17:22.380 No, it's not. 0.98

02:17:22.980 People are flying in every day with all different type of visas, and every day those visas are expiring, and they're in this country illegally. 0.90

02:17:30.820 And they're still here. 0.99

02:17:32.240 Yeah.

02:17:33.000 And I just want to know one thing. 0.88

02:17:35.380 Is Curtis Lee what – now, it's going to be a four-way race because they have the working parties thing, and if it's a Bambi, whatever his name is, that communist clown, if he loses Tuesday, he's going to be on the working party, working families party line. 0.83

02:17:49.520 Which will break up the Democrats. 0.90

02:17:51.940 Yeah, nobody even works who votes for that party.

02:17:55.840 The workers' party, no one works.

02:17:58.980 Yeah, let me ask you something.

02:18:01.080 You're a smart guy.

02:18:02.100 Is Curtis Lee campaigning in New York for May?

02:18:05.180 I don't hear anything about him.

02:18:06.960 Where is he?

02:18:07.380 That's just it.

02:18:08.320 The media won't give him his due.

02:18:10.360 He's out there every day.

02:18:12.300 I swear to you, Steve.

02:18:13.380 He's out there in the boroughs every day shaking hands,

02:18:18.200 talking to people, addressing the real issues of New York City.

02:18:23.440 And no one wants to cover this because they're all propaganda for the left, for the commies. 0.96

02:18:29.980 They're all sucking on Cuomo, if you know what I mean. 0.97

02:18:33.640 That's what they're all doing. 0.99

02:18:35.940 Cuomo's got this, I think, wrapped up, which is a shame because I think Curtis could be the same thing like Trump was.

02:18:42.640 Throw a monkey wrench into the works.

02:18:45.200 Let a guy who hasn't done this, that seems to know what the people kind of really need

02:18:51.340 on a very street level, and let him see how he does instead of the disasters

02:18:57.900 that have been in there for this long.

02:19:01.360 Steve, thanks for the call.

02:19:02.720 I got to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with more of the Anthony Cumia Show.

02:19:08.760 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:19:15.340 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

02:19:17.840 Entertaining and informative.

02:19:19.940 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:19:23.240 The Anthony Cumia Show.

02:19:25.240 I want to thank everybody for tuning in this evening.

02:19:29.320 I do appreciate it.

02:19:30.620 um i couldn't finish off the night without playing a a clip from a wonderful representative

02:19:40.300 nadler uh this guy is he's a joke every time you see him he's like a cartoon character

02:19:49.840 He doesn't seem real. He was giving a speech about ICE agents and and the fact that he doesn't understand, not even saying I don't want ICE agents to wear masks because I want to see their face.

02:20:08.920 I want the people that they are arresting to see their face.

02:20:13.980 He actually doesn't know why.

02:20:17.320 This is what he says.

02:20:18.640 He doesn't even know why ICE agents wear masks.

02:20:22.800 Well, Jerry, maybe, maybe it's for the same reason why your terrorist organization, Antifa, wears masks.

02:20:35.420 Maybe that's it.

02:20:36.740 They don't want to be doxxed.

02:20:37.920 oh wait a minute ice is actually a legal uh uh law enforcement entity and they don't want to be

02:20:49.660 doxed by uh liberals who think they could just throw their name image family house address

02:20:59.440 out there and and then as we know as we've seen from liberals they will do harm they love violence

02:21:07.900 the only reason they're mad about ICE agents wearing masks is because they want to dox them

02:21:16.800 and hope harm comes to them. Let's listen to a little Jerry Nadler talk about ICE agents wearing

02:21:24.380 masks. But these people are wearing masks and are and are totally unidentified. And the question is

02:21:32.080 why is why it's completely improper and again one has to assume they're hiding something or

02:21:39.180 they're hiding misbehavior because otherwise why would they be wearing masks and denying their

02:21:42.580 identities why well they don't want their wife and kids to be beaten or shot when people find

02:21:53.800 out what their names are and where they live, liberal protesters, Democrats, the media,

02:22:03.440 they're vultures that are just out there to do harm to people that are doing their jobs

02:22:10.440 legally, legally doing their jobs, cleaning up the disastrous mess that Joe Biden and

02:22:19.660 company allowed to cross our borders and get into this country you want to blame people for ice

02:22:26.600 imagine if donald trump was elected and went what is this ice thing oh yeah they're they're

02:22:33.500 immigration and customs enforcement what do they do well they deport people that are here illegally

02:22:41.800 and they make sure people are here for the proper amount why do we need them no one's crossed the

02:22:47.380 border in years maybe we could cut back on there where's doge no it was an infestation an invasion

02:22:58.300 under biden so you want to blame anyone for ice even being a thing you blame joe biden and company

02:23:08.380 for winging that border door open and allowing anyone that wanted to to trot on through

02:23:16.600 to come, and then dispersing them around the country

02:23:20.780 by trains, planes, and automobiles to wherever

02:23:24.400 to make another one of these enclaves like in

02:23:28.700 Minnesota. That's what they do. Disperse them around.

02:23:33.640 Let them sit there a while. Then they'll run for office. 0.89

02:23:36.120 And it's not America anymore.

02:23:39.980 So just stop, you little 0.99

02:23:43.460 goddamn munchkin you see this guy this speech was hilarious i wish this was a visual medium 0.99

02:23:50.560 because jerry natalie was standing at a podium and the great seal of something was in front of 1.00

02:23:56.820 him the great seal of idiots was in front of him and i swear you could not see not see you could 0.97

02:24:04.120 not see his face over the the great seal he's two feet tall and then he had an accident remember 0.99

02:24:12.820 that he had a little accident in the capital and he had a walk clenching his cheeks together

02:24:18.540 so embarrassing the second any representative of this country becomes a complete embarrassment

02:24:25.940 they just need to be uh taken out i don't mean that in a violent way i just mean you know

02:24:32.740 just go away go retire go to your family that you profess to love and just stay out of our

02:24:43.840 business you are detrimental in every way shape or form to the way we want to live our lives as 0.91
