00:00:30.000 It is the Anthony Cumia Show. How is everyone? My goodness gracious, a Sunday evening on

00:00:46.240 Fourth of July weekend. You having fun? I certainly hope so. Last night, of course,

00:00:53.340 was Fourth of July, but you get the whole weekend. It is dandy when it falls on a weekend.

00:00:59.300 because you still get the Friday off.

00:01:01.460 They can't take that away from you.

00:01:03.040 And then you got a weekend, a whole weekend.

00:01:06.660 You don't have to worry about waking up hungover,

00:01:08.800 which I'm sure many of you did this morning.

00:01:13.980 I pulled the reins back, you know, years ago,

00:01:17.240 every the day after 4th of July,

00:01:19.040 which I guess would be the 5th of July,

00:01:21.680 was just nightmarish.

00:01:23.980 Waking up, the pounded head, the wooziness.

00:01:26.580 You got to do the medicinal beer.

00:01:29.300 to get back into it because you're not done it's still fourth of july weekend so i hope you're

00:01:36.440 having a great time the weather has been wacky uh in dc of course they had the big donald trump

00:01:43.300 you know the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence and uh trump

00:01:49.480 wanted to make it a big party that's uh that's how trump does it and it was it was unbelievable

00:01:57.420 I wish I was there.

00:01:58.660 It's one of those things you watch and go, ah, that would have been nice to be at.

00:02:01.820 Because history-making, I guess the Guinness Book of World Records is saying that that was a world record

00:02:10.360 with the most fireworks ever shot off, I think ever for anything in the world.

00:02:18.680 It did not stop.

00:02:20.220 I was watching videos of it, and at one point it just looked like D.C. was being carpet-bombed.

00:02:26.620 The smoke, you know, and of course, they're all bitching and complaining about the smoke today.

00:02:31.120 Oh, the particles in the air.

00:02:33.640 You could still smell it. 1.00

00:02:35.200 Damn that, Trump. 1.00

00:02:36.660 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:02:37.800 One day, we actually celebrate something in this country instead of complaining and crapping all over it.

00:02:47.140 And, of course, that's a problem, too.

00:02:50.140 But it looked fantastic.

00:02:52.000 It looked great.

00:02:52.620 There were a lot of people, from what I saw, watching flyovers.

00:02:58.280 Nothing cooler than a flyover.

00:03:02.260 Just a bunch of, who was it, the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds.

00:03:08.000 And then they have the giant fuel tanker aircraft with Black Hawk helicopters and Apaches.

00:03:15.240 Just an amazing display.

00:03:17.960 Something so cool about that.

00:03:20.100 And, you know, you'll see the people, the blown-out, overgrown hippies

00:03:24.420 and the liberal left, and they hate it.

00:03:27.800 Why do our tax dollars have to go to machines of death?

00:03:32.060 Because it's cool.

00:03:34.240 I'd rather have my money go to a rivet on an F-18

00:03:38.240 than a lot of these nonsensical social programs 1.00

00:03:42.840 that the liberals waste your money on.

00:03:46.580 So it looked fantastic.

00:03:49.420 A great display of national pride.

00:03:52.840 There were a lot of fireworks last night all over the place,

00:03:56.780 from the videos I saw and around where I live.

00:04:01.260 I went out into Greenville with some friends and had dinner

00:04:05.300 and on the drive back, man, a lot of fireworks.

00:04:09.880 And it was good because, I don't know,

00:04:12.420 some years you just feel like it's not clicking,

00:04:15.320 like maybe people aren't feeling it.

00:04:18.160 And the media, of course, is going to push that. 0.97

00:04:22.440 America is terrible, and if you're celebrating it, you're celebrating an oppressive, racist, homophobic nation, blah, blah, blah. 0.62

00:04:32.520 And truth be told, I think the vast majority of people that aren't mentally ill, like we see on the left, in this country do have a love of country. 0.97

00:04:44.700 And they do have a pride in nation.

00:04:47.680 And it's great that a couple of times a year, depending on what the holiday is,

00:04:53.320 we get together, we blow off some fireworks, we crack some beers and celebrate.

00:04:58.560 You know, get out on the boat if it's summer.

00:05:01.360 And celebrate the unbelievable good luck we had being born here into this country.

00:05:10.220 Because, oof, when you think about where you could have been born in the world,

00:05:16.280 uh odds odds are you ended up here they're not that good not really that good 200 and some odd

00:05:25.800 million people it was a lot less when i was born and probably when a lot of the people listening

00:05:29.740 were born and uh compared to the world population the odds that you were gonna drop out here in the

00:05:36.700 united states of america pretty slim and then there you are you're here in this amazing country

00:05:43.340 And as time goes on, we see people that come here and they don't appreciate what this country is all about

00:05:51.440 and who built it, who's responsible for the ideals we have, the laws, the ideology,

00:06:01.340 The way we interact with each other as Americans, because that's part of the whole process of this country growing over the course of the years. 0.84

00:06:14.680 That's something that I don't even know if any immigrant can feel.

00:06:22.120 uh you can come here from a faraway land that is uh an s-hole as donald trump has called a few

00:06:31.040 places and uh you can absolutely appreciate the hell out of this country and you can bring your

00:06:39.240 skills and talents and appreciation and contribute to the united states of america i got no problem

00:06:45.180 with that but i still don't believe you are going to have that that feeling that americans have

00:06:54.720 natural born americans having lived your childhood here i don't think people understand the importance

00:07:03.260 of growing up in america in the context of being an american and appreciating this country

00:07:11.000 more than I really do think any immigrant, legal immigrant even, could possibly imagine.

00:07:19.960 It was such an important part.

00:07:21.820 You learned about the country, and I'm not talking about just in school.

00:07:26.660 You learned about the country, about your freedoms.

00:07:30.160 You learned responsibility in a place where the adults were people that could teach you to be a good person.

00:07:41.000 to be a good American, to respect things,

00:07:45.360 and have a dedication and a loyalty to the country.

00:07:52.760 And I just don't think that happens.

00:07:55.680 You see somebody, oh boy, Zoran Mamdani,

00:07:59.380 and he came here, what, a decade ago?

00:08:05.080 Not even?

00:08:05.600 i really don't think you can understand america without having grown up in america

00:08:14.160 and i'm not talking about the you know it has to be the good old days

00:08:18.260 anthony cumia there i was nine years old ride my bike with my friends east islip long island

00:08:26.200 with a boomer esiason by the way that bastard got in a fight with him broke my arm while i when i

00:08:33.160 punched his head we both went to timber point elementary school not kidding and um that was 0.96

00:08:40.760 just something that instills americana in you growing up riding your bikes with friends we

00:08:49.360 used to go to uh hexier park out on long island and try to catch uh uh newts and amphibians and

00:08:57.420 frogs and it sounds like the little rascals but it was only you know the 70s um and and it just

00:09:06.340 instilled in you how wonderful this country was even at that age you had an appreciation

00:09:12.700 for what you were doing uh so when i see people taking office in this country uh whether it's

00:09:21.680 local state or federal uh i do not think they can appreciate what this country is

00:09:32.580 as well as somebody who was born here and raised here and spent a childhood here

00:09:38.160 same thing with uh you know obama don't even get me started with the hawaii thing

00:09:46.860 but uh i i kind of feel the same way you didn't have that experience of growing up an american

00:09:56.100 family fourth of july's growing up experiencing fourth of july's your neighbors your neighborhood

00:10:03.240 a block party a barbecue in someone's backyard even if there was somebody that just recently

00:10:10.000 moved in there was already a commonality there's a common uh interest there was common ideology of

00:10:19.640 being an american you could sit down and start talking to a brand new neighbor and have more

00:10:25.760 things in common than you didn't have in common that's gone with people that come here especially

00:10:32.360 when they come here and make these little enclaves for themselves in minneapolis plenty of other

00:10:39.280 places they refuse to assimilate they not only don't embrace this country they hate it there is

00:10:47.660 a disdain for america and everything it stands for and uh the more liberals try to convince

00:10:56.360 the population of this country that it's a strength that diversity is our greatest strength 0.80

00:11:03.260 And they're talking about Muslims, people that have come here from third world countries and have no interest whatsoever in assimilating and becoming part of American culture and an American society. 1.00

00:11:22.000 They hoard together. 1.00

00:11:24.780 They practice everything that they practiced from the crap hole third world nation they came from, like Somalia. 1.00

00:11:32.060 They have a loyalty to Somalia above and beyond any loyalty that they would have for America. 1.00

00:11:41.920 I don't think they have any loyalty for America. 1.00

00:11:44.740 And when they're all put in one place, it's very hard for them to assimilate.

00:11:49.120 And I think that was done on purpose by a lot of politicians, presidents, bringing people in and giving them areas where they can take over.

00:11:59.480 and uh this has done nothing but make more division uh make people more angry and uh

00:12:08.980 make people that make these these areas of people that are not american they can live here they can

00:12:17.520 be within the borders they can have the legal documents but that's not american fiasque me

00:12:23.720 All right, where are you going? Come on, 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222 to get involved in the program this evening.

00:12:33.680 We're going to be talking about a lot of things. We're just starting. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.

00:12:38.940 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:44.740 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:12:46.820 talking about a fourth of july weekend of course big celebration 250 years of the united states of

00:12:54.820 america i vividly remember the bicentennial let me tell you kids i remember the old days

00:13:02.180 nineteen hundred and seventy six uh it just was a different attitude a different attitude uh there

00:13:11.240 was such uh patriotism i'm not looking through rose-colored lenses at the past there were play

00:13:20.060 there was plenty of division back in 76 there was uh a lot of people that were not happy with

00:13:25.600 the direction of the country we had just come off a water gate so there was not a lot of trust in

00:13:31.560 the government and uh yeah there was a lot of division still from vietnam we still had people

00:13:37.960 that were um divided over that and uh but there was absolutely patriotism in every aspect of this

00:13:48.140 country in 76 and i understand the hundred marks are gonna you're gonna be a little more excited

00:13:55.140 than the 50 marks you know the 250th maybe the 300th will be crazy we'll have flying cars by

00:14:01.660 then i'm certain of it no i'm not uh but you know it was just we had every commercial for every

00:14:11.540 product was red white and blue the flag waving the the rosy cheek kids the families doing

00:14:18.560 american things going to see uh the grand canyon drinking coke and pepsi and whatnot uh that's just

00:14:27.720 not not the vibe i don't want to be a downer because like i said it was great seeing that

00:14:33.500 fireworks display and uh seeing so many people really excited about the 250th anniversary of

00:14:41.340 this country birthday of this country so that was cool uh to see but uh you know as as uh you get a

00:14:50.860 little older maybe i am looking back fondly waxing fantastic about the uh the old days uh let us talk

00:15:00.880 to jay jay from bayonne jersey what's up jay hey anthony uh you know i it's i i find it interesting

00:15:09.420 what do you think about this because i actually uh i i i've read and uh july july 4th uh 1776

00:15:19.580 was not the day that they actually signed and wrote the Declaration of Independence.

00:15:26.740 That was on July 2nd, and they signed it on August 2nd, 1776.

00:15:33.420 So really, America's birthday, it got it all wrong.

00:15:36.840 It's not July 4th is not.

00:15:38.560 That was all they did on July 4th was send the official document to the printer

00:15:45.020 to get the words right.

00:15:47.860 Well, Jay, you can take it up with them because I think we've all decided July 4th is a pretty good day.

00:15:55.640 I don't think one or two days difference is going to be a big deal.

00:16:00.580 You know, Jay.

00:16:02.200 What?

00:16:04.080 Hello?

00:16:05.600 Jay?

00:16:06.960 Uh-oh.

00:16:07.760 Where'd he go?

00:16:08.960 Was he mad?

00:16:10.420 Was he mad that I said it didn't matter?

00:16:13.060 That he called to tell me there's a two-day discrepancy?

00:16:17.860 And we should have been firing off firecrackers.

00:16:20.180 What was that, Thursday?

00:16:23.700 All right.

00:16:25.360 Sounds good. 0.99

00:16:27.000 Of course, the lovely Sondra from New Jersey.

00:16:30.120 Sondra, what's up, dear?

00:16:32.360 Oh, hello there.

00:16:33.780 Hi, Anthony.

00:16:34.860 I wanted to share this with you.

00:16:36.680 I saw Young Washington tonight, and I said,

00:16:41.600 I can't wait to come back and tell you how phenomenal that movie was.

00:16:46.220 Oh, yeah.

00:16:48.200 I recommend everyone go see it.

00:16:50.460 It was by Angel Studios.

00:16:52.780 It shows you him as a little boy and how he had a mind of his own

00:16:57.500 right from the beginning, and it shows you.

00:17:00.160 Not teeth, though, of his own, right?

00:17:01.820 He had a mind of his own, but those teeth belonged to an oak tree

00:17:05.620 or something, from what I'm told.

00:17:06.920 I don't know about his teeth.

00:17:08.140 In the movie, he's very handsome.

00:17:09.680 The person who played Washington was very, very handsome.

00:17:13.600 There are some well-known people in the film that you'll recognize, but it was so great.

00:17:18.920 It shows you how he served as a young officer and how the people trusted him, and he really, really cared about his men.

00:17:29.200 And it was just an unforgettable movie, and I really think you should go see it.

00:17:33.240 I promise you, you're going to love it.

00:17:35.020 Sandra, I've got to ask, though, because it's terrible to say, did they show him as a slave owner?

00:17:43.600 Um, no, no. I think I remember in the movie, um, um, someone who did have slaves offered to give him two of their best men. I remember that, but that he, he, no, he was not involved in any of that when he was very young.

00:18:05.940 He actually, you know, lived, you know, very modestly.

00:18:09.340 He loves his mother, and his brother was his mentor.

00:18:12.960 And, you know, because they wouldn't let him go to school.

00:18:15.700 So he was so determined to learn, to read, that his brother got him all the books,

00:18:21.040 and his brother taught him everything about respect.

00:18:24.520 And it was just a very beautiful—he's very humble from the very, very beginning.

00:18:29.300 He is a very humble man.

00:18:31.460 Yeah, do they cover that chopping down the cherry tree thing?

00:18:35.220 Yeah, they did.

00:18:35.960 They showed that.

00:18:36.840 He comes back really angry, and he's chopping down the tree.

00:18:40.980 You have to see it.

00:18:42.320 It was done so well.

00:18:43.480 And then when I think about the war then and the wars now, it was very scary then because you didn't have any place to hide.

00:18:52.620 You know, you were right out there getting shot.

00:18:55.600 Yeah, they would just march at each other and, you know, kind of big lines, big lines of men just shooting at each other with horribly inaccurate weapons.

00:19:04.480 But, Sandra, I would love to talk to you more on this, but don't spoil it.

00:19:08.160 I want to watch it to see if he becomes president.

00:19:11.200 No spoilers.

00:19:12.220 No spoilers, Sandra.

00:19:13.220 Thank you, dear.

00:19:14.300 There goes Sandra.

00:19:16.060 Yeah, I want to see that.

00:19:17.840 This Angel Studios, I guess it is,

00:19:20.540 they've been promoting themselves like crazy on social media with a bunch of

00:19:24.700 movies, movie trailers and stuff.

00:19:26.100 And I saw the trailer for Young Washington, and it did look pretty good.

00:19:29.800 It did look pretty interesting.

00:19:32.860 uh but i i can't imagine that some people won't be upset that uh they didn't even address that

00:19:41.480 george washington was a slave owner and uh you know without addressing that you can't watch the

00:19:48.840 movie then talk about what a piece of garbage he was right am i right uh boy let's go through 0.89

00:22:56.200 and I scroll through that during the commercial breaks,

00:22:59.020 and I'll pick out a couple of your comments from there

00:23:02.960 if you want to get involved with the show.

00:23:06.180 Zoran Mamdani, New York.

00:23:08.780 Oh, boy, you're never going to live that one down. 0.61

00:23:11.800 Mr. Communist Mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani.

00:23:16.100 Well, he had a few nice things to say on this Fourth of July weekend.

00:23:23.120 He was sitting at George Washington's desk.

00:23:26.940 We heard about young George Washington in the movie.

00:23:29.020 He was at George Washington's desk, surrounded by a bunch of immigrants who had just gotten their citizenship.

00:23:37.820 They were waving little American flags, very patriotic.

00:23:42.200 And one thing I've noticed about a lot of these Democrat politicians, communist politicians, liberal politicians,

00:23:50.340 they can't just say something nice on the 4th of July about the country.

00:23:57.300 250 years we've been in business uh it's worked out pretty well we're having some issues of late

00:24:05.680 uh with some people that um don't think we've proved enough over 250 years they want to change

00:24:14.100 things make it better and all i see are people trying to completely undermine

00:24:21.660 the great things that did make up America

00:24:25.360 and exchange all those institutions and values

00:24:30.000 and an amazing culture that we have here in America.

00:24:36.880 And they want to exchange it for debauchery, crime,

00:24:42.420 perverting the minds of children,

00:24:47.760 indoctrinating them in schools, all that stuff,

00:24:50.740 Making it seem like you're terrible for loving your country.

00:24:56.480 So that's what's going on.

00:24:57.960 But Mamdani, like the other ones, they can't just say something nice.

00:25:03.520 It's always got to be this thing to draw in.

00:25:05.840 You know what it is?

00:25:06.440 To draw in their base, their voters.

00:25:09.460 They need the people to say, oh, it is terrible.

00:25:14.060 Oh, he's saying happy Fourth of July, happy Independence Day, 250 years. 0.69

00:25:18.400 But please, Zoran, please tell us how terrible it is, because that's how you won, by telling people how you're going to fix how awful America is and has been for 250 years. 0.93

00:25:31.340 So let's listen to Zoran Mamdani as, if you ask me, he craps on the United States of America. 0.86

00:25:38.680 That would be AC3.

00:25:40.680 Here we go.

00:25:41.700 As we mark 250 years, what do we see?

00:25:45.260 we see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions we see the wealthiest country

00:25:52.180 in the history of the world yeah one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's

00:25:56.420 first trillionaire hungers for more we see monopolies that dominate every industry and

00:26:02.420 oligarchs who buy elections we see masked agents terrorizing our streets eating food cooked by our 0.98

00:26:08.760 undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans well you don't want to spirit 1.00

00:26:13.520 We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands, 1.00

00:26:19.060 those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone.

00:26:22.960 And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.

00:26:29.400 You got soft hands, Mr. Hooper.

00:26:30.720 Yes, we see America in a health insurance industry that exploits the sick,

00:26:34.120 but that is not all we see when we look for America.

00:26:37.120 We see it, too, in the nurse who works a double shift and then stops on our way home to check on an ailing neighbor.

00:26:43.520 Yes, we see America in corporate landlords for whom negligence is a business model.

00:26:47.540 We see it, too, in the father who tucks his children into bed beneath a ceiling stained with leaks,

00:26:53.420 who wakes before dawn to go to work and still believes his country can do better by his family.

00:26:59.620 Yes, we see America when we spend our tax dollars on bombs and bailouts,

00:27:03.980 when we sell our elections for the highest bidder.

00:27:06.780 Yet we see it just as clearly in every American who still believes this country belongs to we, the people.

00:27:13.520 We see America each time neighbors link arms with neighbors without asking how long they have lived here

00:27:18.360 or what papers they have as ICE invades our neighborhoods.

00:27:22.300 We see America each time those young and old stand in the beating rain or the stifling heat to cast their ballots.

00:27:28.600 We see America each time working people demand more, not just for themselves, but for their fellow Americans.

00:27:34.640 There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain.

00:27:40.580 Love it or leave it, they say.

00:27:42.600 Like it or lump it.

00:27:43.620 But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws.

00:27:47.920 Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent.

00:27:50.660 It is every march led under the heavy sun.

00:27:53.240 It is every protest held a decade before the time.

00:27:55.160 How about it's being proud of your country?

00:27:57.080 It is precisely because we love this nation.

00:27:58.980 For a minute.

00:27:59.680 We will not leave it.

00:28:01.080 After all, who loves America more than those who have sacrificed so much to make it free?

00:28:05.760 oh can can can you just for a second love it love it or leave it yeah yeah i agree with that 1.00

00:28:17.880 bitch bitch and complain complain that's all you hear out of these oh my god is it that bad 1.00

00:28:27.180 And he just describes this post-apocalyptic dystopian. 1.00

00:28:32.800 The ceiling's leaking.

00:28:35.320 The father's getting up to go to his crappy job on the factory floor.

00:28:40.760 The kids are starving. 0.90

00:28:43.100 My God.

00:28:45.740 Most people are, you know, okay.

00:28:49.500 I understand things are expensive.

00:28:52.680 And we go through those cycles all the time.

00:28:58.180 Sometimes they last longer than other times,

00:29:00.820 and we hope to keep them to a minimum.

00:29:03.160 But that's what happens.

00:29:05.840 And most people are able to make it work.

00:29:09.940 With Zoran, it's a grift.

00:29:12.980 It's a scam.

00:29:15.220 He needs everyone to feel like everyone is ready to give up.

00:29:21.860 They're all impoverished to the point where they barely have a roof over their head.

00:29:26.600 Their kids are starving.

00:29:28.080 This isn't the norm.

00:29:30.300 And it's terrible that there are people going through that,

00:29:33.000 but there are so many resources for that.

00:29:37.420 And our tax dollars go toward it.

00:29:40.260 And a lot of private charity, church charities, go to it.

00:29:45.460 it's astounding in a country of just about 350 million people that people aren't literally

00:29:55.320 starving to death yes they are anthony i saw shut up no they're not there are people absolutely

00:30:02.960 go to sleep hungry there are people that probably haven't eaten for a day or two i do get that 0.98

00:30:09.520 there are people that are mentally ill that don't know that there are resources available

00:30:13.720 to them but we have an amazing country of 350 some odd million people and no one is being found

00:30:22.520 on the side of the road that had starved to death it doesn't happen in this country it's amazing

00:30:29.680 we're an unbelievably charitable country and if someone needs help and can reach out and ask for

00:30:38.220 help they will get so much of it food shelter clothing care for their children medical care

00:30:47.880 yeah that's the amazing country we live in but uh boy don't don't say a word zoran don't let

00:30:56.660 them know that that's available you got to make it sound like you're the only one and and your

00:31:02.280 your ilk that could possibly bring that to the people ah god i can't stand that guy at george

00:31:11.060 washington's desk fourth of july weekend he's just talking about uh the horror and of course

00:31:21.540 he's got to bring up the elon musk thing like elon's got a trillion dollars in cash stashed

00:31:26.800 in his mattress i i cannot get over how many people treat elon musk's wealth that way like

00:31:37.680 he's just sitting there lighting cigars with million dollar bills instead of the truth of

00:31:45.120 the matter where his companies have that much wealth that many assets that's not all liquid

00:31:54.760 You don't just have a trillion dollars, dollar bills, a trillion of them.

00:32:00.680 Look at me.

00:32:02.420 It's making more money because it's enriching the country.

00:32:09.960 His various companies employ thousands upon thousands of people,

00:32:16.340 People that get paid use that money to feed and shelter and clothe and educate their families.

00:32:27.180 They pay taxes when they get paid.

00:32:31.460 And the companies grow, and that's a great thing for the country and for the people that work there and for everybody, the world.

00:32:40.240 You don't think Starlink is a good thing for Earth?

00:32:47.180 Internet access, high-speed Internet, no matter where the hell you are on the face of the Earth?

00:32:53.980 I'm watching these great videos of these amazing people that are sailing across the Atlantic

00:33:00.540 on this little one-person sailboat or rowboats.

00:33:04.560 There was some girl I was watching a few months ago,

00:33:07.320 And she rode across the Atlantic Ocean.

00:33:12.000 And every day, a couple of times a day, she would pop up on Instagram, YouTube,

00:33:19.620 and give you a report from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean of how she's doing.

00:33:26.020 And it was great.

00:33:27.440 The only way she could do that was through Starlink, one of Elon Musk's companies.

00:33:33.440 the satellites launched by another one of Elon Musk's companies, SpaceX.

00:33:41.000 So to talk about this guy like some evil hoarder of wealth

00:33:46.720 that will smack down a hungry child tugging on his pant leg for a quarter 0.99

00:33:52.360 like it's the 30s is ridiculous. 1.00

00:33:56.560 it's ignorant and it's so uh biased so politically agenda driven you don't like him because of his 0.99

00:34:06.660 politics so everything he does is terrible and any money he has he's gotten through greed 0.98

00:34:13.260 and he won't share it i love the people that want to spend his money like bernie sanders

00:34:19.940 and liz warren we could have with all of his wealth he could feed the entire nation for over

00:34:29.920 five years and you're like what yeah and what is that gonna do you ever hear that whole give a man

00:34:38.520 a fish teach a man to fish i think there's more equity and more value in the in his companies

00:34:46.740 and what he's doing with that trillion dollars

00:34:50.640 than handing it out to people that are proven

00:34:54.660 to be horribly irresponsible with money.

00:34:58.540 Right?

00:34:59.580 Let's think about that.

00:35:01.900 It's not like a movie.

00:35:03.800 Homeless people, people that are hungry,

00:35:06.000 it's rarely like a movie. 0.98

00:35:08.800 A lot of these people have mental illnesses.

00:35:11.480 It's not like they fell through the cracks.

00:35:14.500 a motivated guy that wants to get out there and get himself a job

00:35:20.960 and take care of his family.

00:35:22.980 And Jeff, for some reason, he just keeps falling through the cracks.

00:35:27.420 I've never seen such a motivated person that can't get a job.

00:35:31.240 That ain't it.

00:35:33.140 There's a lot of laziness going on.

00:35:35.740 There's a lot of drug use, a lot of mental illness,

00:35:39.280 and just doling money out to people is not the answer.

00:35:47.720 It's barely a Band-Aid on the problem.

00:35:52.100 And these are also people that make crime.

00:35:56.040 A lot of crime comes out of the homeless community

00:35:58.540 and people that don't have money because of mental illness and drug use and what have you.

00:36:05.120 but they want to take the money from the companies that the guy's running

00:36:14.160 elon musk that is actually helping remember when uh before uh they knew elon's politics

00:36:22.320 and and he was the guy with tesla and the electric car and they loved him couldn't love this guy

00:36:31.060 more he's the guy that's gonna solve the fossil fuel problem with his electric vehicle oh they

00:36:38.980 loved him and then uh he goes hey i maybe the government is spending too much money on these

00:36:46.420 redundant social programs and 10 people are doing the job of one person and uh we could probably

00:36:53.400 cut some of that oh this terrible man what has he done he's hoarding a trillion dollars and babies

00:36:59.680 are starving there's vultures circling the children of america and that's you know that's

00:37:07.000 the what man danny was pretty much what he was saying on the 4th of july great thank you thank

00:37:13.640 you zoran oh my god uh yeah so over the weekend uh yesterday as a matter of fact 4th of july we

00:37:21.820 saw the fireworks in dc and i guess a world record was set uh 850 000 munitions were fired off

00:37:35.440 850 000 if you need any scale on that usually when there's a big fireworks display it's about

00:37:43.720 20 000 munitions go off for those giant displays in new york city and vegas and things like that

00:37:51.600 this was 850,000 munitions it was non-stop and uh it looked great and only only trump

00:38:02.340 would do something like that and you could say that's bad or that's good or whatever i think it

00:38:09.040 was great uh people don't like when trump does anything there are certain people that don't like

00:38:13.680 anything trump does i was talking about the golden eagle you know he put the golden eagle

00:38:19.760 above the doorway between the big columns of the White House. 0.76

00:38:23.680 And I'm like, yeah, it looks silly. 0.90

00:38:26.720 It looks tacky. 0.88

00:38:27.960 It's gaudy. 0.98

00:38:29.000 It doesn't quite go with the stark whiteness

00:38:32.660 and slight black trim of the White House architecture.

00:38:37.040 But it's pure Trump.

00:38:39.580 It's pure Donald Trump.

00:38:41.820 So the people that don't like Donald hate it.

00:38:45.140 They think it's a crime for him to put that up.

00:38:47.140 And the people that like Trump, you can be honest, I would rather it not be there. 1.00

00:38:54.700 It just doesn't look good, big stupid gold eagle. 0.99

00:38:58.540 But it's not like he's desecrating the White House, just like the MMA thing. 1.00

00:39:05.520 I didn't think that was an insult on the hallowed grounds of the White House.

00:39:12.260 And what else do we got here?

00:39:14.280 The the 4th of July news. Oh, SeaWorld. Yeah. SeaWorld is said they're not allowing American flags.

00:39:25.720 You can't walk around SeaWorld with an American flag, no matter how big or small it is.

00:39:31.140 And I was wondering why. And so was one of the people at SeaWorld.

00:39:36.340 Let's hear the kerfuffle they got in with one of the security at SeaWorld AC4.

00:39:44.280 what'd you say we can't wait no flags are banned and why's that it's just part of our

00:39:51.140 park policy since when for a while now no that's that's un-american we can't just no flags it's

00:39:59.460 fourth of july today i understand that what you're saying okay i'm gonna bring okay perfect

00:40:05.820 by the way you're being recorded that's why you're being recorded that's the the battle cry of every

00:40:12.560 everybody you're being recorded yes so i don't care uh yeah that's that's unnecessary you can

00:40:21.220 make a policy that the american flag is allowed and you could have size that you don't want

00:40:27.740 somebody walking in there with a giant american flag but if you want to on fourth of july walk

00:40:32.740 through an amusement park what have you with a little american flag and wave it around to show

00:40:39.080 your patriotism sticking in your backpack so it's waving behind you whatever that sounds great

00:40:45.760 it's patriotic it's appropriate but to make this blanket policy no flags are allowed uh why because

00:40:53.940 you're afraid if an american flag comes in that someone will bring some other flag that offends

00:40:58.500 the park goers or something okay then just make american flags what's wrong with that you're in

00:41:05.320 america your park is in america what's wrong with allowing people to bring a single flag the

00:41:14.620 american flag into your park make that your policy i am really tired of this blanket policy where

00:41:21.900 if something happens and a policy needs to be put in place that everyone needs to suffer

00:41:28.340 and we see this all the time with uh curfews closures you need a chaperone if you're under

00:41:36.460 18 we see a small portion of people making it so everyone has to be treated like a criminal

00:41:42.660 and can't enjoy themselves because now it's the policy you could do one thing it's your business

00:41:49.680 you could do one thing make that the policy and tell other people that want to do what they want

00:41:57.200 to do no that's against our policy but not allowing the american flag and keep torturing 0.51

00:42:03.500 your uh your uh orcas and your dolphins sea world what a horrible organization uh all right don't

00:42:10.600 go anywhere so much more to talk about in moments it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple

00:42:17.340 podcast network the anthony cumia show let's go right to susan in corning new york susan

00:42:26.040 yes anthony hello dear hi well i'm just going to go right back to this um current situation

00:42:36.500 uh uh that was so nauseating memdani uh to add insult to injury sitting at george washington's

00:42:45.020 desk yeah in his uh you know all a cozy little mansion up there uh paid for by all the taxpayers

00:42:53.780 And, okay, so he did start out, like, talking about how George Washington, you know, how he survived the first Battle of Brooklyn, how he just crossed the river.

00:43:06.140 Well, for God's sakes, that was where the first evidence of the hand of God came in, because he was almost captured.

00:43:16.960 There happened to be that group by that Colonel Glover, who had his marble heads from Massachusetts, these amazing mariners, who guided him after he lost almost half his troops, guided him down to Brooklyn Heights.

00:43:39.620 and it had been a very clear weather, and it was just an enormous task.

00:43:48.760 Yes.

00:43:49.560 Are we getting a history lesson, Susan?

00:43:51.740 Is that what we're doing?

00:43:52.560 Yes, it is.

00:43:53.460 It is, actually.

00:43:54.380 That's when the providential evidence was this fog came in

00:44:00.180 because the Brits were right up the river.

00:44:03.160 Ah, the fog rolled in, gave them some cover,

00:44:06.480 and we were able to emerge victorious.

00:44:11.620 Susan, what do you think is more dangerous,

00:44:14.560 Brooklyn back when Washington was there during that battle

00:44:17.160 or Brooklyn right now as we speak, this second?

00:44:20.840 I think Brooklyn now is a little more dangerous

00:44:23.380 than back during the Revolutionary War.

00:44:26.980 In a different way.

00:44:29.060 Yeah, that's for sure.

00:44:32.560 So, yeah, him sitting behind that desk or in front of it,

00:44:36.480 It was turned around.

00:44:37.440 The drawers were sticking out, forward.

00:44:39.760 It was just a weird kind of vibe of him giving that speech,

00:44:45.620 bashing America from behind in front of Washington's desk.

00:44:50.520 Susan, thank you so much.

00:44:52.300 Susan's a patriot.

00:44:54.200 This is hilarious.

00:44:55.940 Paul Pelosi back in the news.

00:44:58.480 Of course, the 86-year-old husband of Nancy Pelosi,

00:45:02.740 former Speaker Nancy Pelosi,

00:45:04.960 involved in a hit-and-run crash into a parked car oh they're so hard to see those parked cars

00:45:11.960 um in yuntville while driving his convertible maserati this guy you know you know these

00:45:23.240 politicians and pelosi's one of them to always talking about the corruption and fraud and theft

00:45:29.700 And her 86-year-old husband is tooling around in a convertible Maserati.

00:45:36.240 They've gotten millions upon millions of dollars.

00:45:39.100 And you're not allowed to question it.

00:45:42.620 They say no Dewey involved.

00:45:44.840 The guy ran into a car and then left.

00:45:48.440 It was only because his own car was so damaged and broke down that they were able to see who did this.

00:45:55.400 Because he was leaving.

00:45:56.620 He was going home, this guy.

00:45:59.700 They say no Dewey involved.

00:46:02.860 I doubt that.

00:46:05.240 Why would I believe that?

00:46:06.440 Why would I give him the benefit of the doubt?

00:46:08.740 He's been in, what, five accidents over the course of his driving career.

00:46:16.680 One accident killed his 19-year-old brother, David, David Pelosi,

00:46:23.640 and a coroner's jury exonerated him.

00:46:26.960 this guy has been in five major accidents in 1957 1970 2022 23 and 26 uh he's been in uh

00:46:42.760 in major accidents and this one he decided to leave the scene don't you think you'd know that

00:46:49.000 you're not supposed to do that that that is completely illegal and uh you should be arrested

00:46:55.280 for that but for some reason uh why isn't he why hasn't he been arrested statement from the

00:47:05.040 pelosi family mr paul pelosi has personally apologized to the owner of the vehicle and

00:47:10.620 assured them that he would take responsibility for the damage to their vehicle speaker pelosi

00:47:16.680 She will not be commenting further on this private matter. 0.99

00:47:23.820 Make her.

00:47:25.440 Anytime you see her, anybody that sees her, make her comment on this.

00:47:31.020 This husband of hers, what was that story?

00:47:34.300 The guy came in and started hitting him with a hammer,

00:47:37.440 and he was half-dressed, and they were both boozed up,

00:47:41.680 and that guy's disappeared under the prison.

00:47:45.300 That guy's gone.

00:47:46.680 He was tried, convicted, and sentenced, and we never heard another word from this guy.

00:47:54.000 Who was he?

00:47:55.880 And again, you know, Nancy didn't want to comment on that either.

00:48:00.620 That's how they do it. 1.00

00:48:01.860 They talk about a two-tiered or multi-tiered justice system.

00:48:06.920 Everybody needs to be held accountable for their crimes no matter how powerful they think they are.

00:48:12.460 We hear them spew that nonsense all the time.

00:48:14.840 And then whenever they get into a jam, subtly, somehow, miraculously, they're not in trouble.

00:48:23.580 It just goes away.

00:48:26.320 Imagine you hit a car and run from the scene.

00:48:30.700 What will happen to you?

00:48:33.280 That's the country we live in, the Pelosi's.

00:48:36.600 Wonderful, isn't it?

00:48:37.860 All right, don't go anywhere.

00:48:39.800 We will be returning in moments.

00:49:21.880 From indulgent Reese's Big Cups with caramel

00:49:37.420 nothing else is Reese's.

00:49:38.920 it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

00:49:48.300 it's the anthony cumia show and uh we're going to delve into something that uh

00:49:57.400 has once again you know divided the nation everything divides the nation

00:50:03.020 vanilla chocolate dividing the nation um well sort of this is uh the walmart shooting the walmart

00:50:12.480 parking lot shooting uh a black woman shot a white man and she has claimed self-defense

00:50:20.700 the video has been out there for a while now and um we we make our decision we look we make our

00:50:29.300 assumptions and uh we speculate we do a lot of that because we don't have all the evidence

00:50:36.640 all we have is a video with really no sound uh and that's all we can base our our

00:50:45.440 conclusions on at this point until more evidence comes in witnesses maybe another video

00:50:54.640 So, because we don't know right now what they were saying to each other,

00:51:02.480 which is relevant in certain parts of this confrontation that they had.

00:51:10.000 It is relevant.

00:51:11.760 What we see is that these two people were vying for the same parking spot,

00:51:20.060 and they each thought they were entitled to it.

00:51:24.640 And an argument broke out, a verbal altercation, very important, that you realize this was a verbal altercation, nothing more.

00:51:37.280 This did not get physical.

00:51:40.160 The first physical part of this verbal altercation was the woman shooting the man.

00:51:49.620 That is the only time this conflict became physical.

00:51:54.640 and i think that's important too a lot of people seem to have a complete misunderstanding

00:52:01.740 as to what stand your ground means florida has a stand your ground uh statute and uh people seem

00:52:12.700 to think that means you pull your gun out on someone uh no matter the reason it's just whatever

00:52:21.840 pull your gun out and then uh you don't have to retreat from that uh from that situation

00:52:32.260 you uh you then can shoot the person if they start coming toward you because you have no

00:52:38.340 obligation to retreat so that must be what stand your ground means right uh no no it doesn't

00:52:47.580 The other thing is, what was this guy doing? 0.99

00:52:51.800 People seem to be confused, and they seem to think that if somebody is stupid enough 0.99

00:52:59.200 to walk up to somebody that's holding a gun, 1.00

00:53:03.260 that the person with the gun magically has justification to shoot them.

00:53:08.000 Regardless of what they were doing or saying, if they were being aggressive or not,

00:53:13.580 But just the act of walking towards somebody, no weapon in your hand, your hands aren't

00:53:22.820 up in a manner where you might assume that they are going to try to hit you, you're not

00:53:29.200 running toward the person, head down, arms out to tackle them.

00:53:34.360 We saw the video, this man is walking around the parking lot, he's walking between cars

00:53:42.200 in front of cars walking and when he walks toward this woman she shoots him uh yeah that

00:53:52.680 that isn't self-defense that has nothing to do with self-defense or stand your ground

00:53:58.220 the law is is unfortunately there are some vague parts of this that can be interpreted and i'm

00:54:08.520 sure they will be by the prosecution and defense attorneys if this does end in an indictment and i

00:54:16.700 believe it will i've been arguing this on social media since it happened and i am from the school

00:54:25.500 of thought that she will be indicted she hasn't because florida does have a policy a statute

00:54:33.860 whereas if somebody claims self-defense and the initial evidence doesn't disprove that you can't

00:54:41.300 grow go into a bank and shoot somebody the teller and they go it was self-defense and then the cops

00:54:48.200 go ah well florida law we gotta let her go because uh she said self-defense and then we'll wait we'll

00:54:54.620 investigate it and if it's not self-defense then we'll arrest her so there are certain crimes you 1.00

00:55:00.380 can't just say self-defense and you get to go home she claimed that this was self-defense the

00:55:05.760 initial investigation uh did not prove otherwise but that's just the initial looking around not

00:55:15.320 really uh looking at the evidence and she was allowed to go home and a lot of people were

00:55:23.380 pissed at that but that is part of florida's uh statute on self-defense uh but i think the more

00:55:32.680 the cops look into this i think if it wasn't the fourth of july weekend she'd have been arrested 0.97

00:55:38.600 already i think this week we will see an arrest uh this is not self-defense uh she might get a

00:55:48.120 manslaughter charge put on her that's her best bet uh we'll see we'll see look i'm i'm just

00:55:56.660 talking here i'm not a lawyer i don't even play one on tv i'm just not a lawyer but i have watched

00:56:02.920 a lot of cases on television i i i watched a murder she wrote i watched uh uh the one with

00:56:12.180 Andy Griffith was that Matlock oh my god but here's uh here's some of the wording from the

00:56:20.760 actual Florida statutes uh on stand your ground uh stand your ground is a Florida statute that

00:56:30.600 expand self-defense rights by eliminating the traditional duty to retreat before using force

00:56:39.460 including deadly force in situations where a person reasonably believes it is necessary

00:56:46.940 very important florida was the first state to enact the broad version of this in 2005

00:56:52.040 building on the older castle doctrine which applies inside your home the law has two main

00:56:58.740 parts relevant to everyday understanding so here are a couple of the instances where you

00:57:06.980 can stand your ground you don't have to retreat there is no obligation to look for a way out

00:57:14.880 a person is justified in using or threatening non-deadly force when they reasonably believe

00:57:24.940 it is necessary to defend themselves or another against another's imminent unlawful force

00:57:31.020 no duty to retreat that's for non-deadly force that means somebody comes up to you

00:57:38.240 smacks you in the face how about that smacks you in the face you can respond in kind you can

00:57:47.020 punch him in the face you can grab him and throw him to the ground and and that is uh a a a defense 0.96

00:57:59.380 that is equivalent to whatever you were assaulted with. 0.99

00:58:06.400 You can't shoot someone for slapping you in the face.

00:58:10.960 Put it that way.

00:58:12.860 So non-deadly force.

00:58:14.780 For deadly force, it is justified if the person reasonably believes

00:58:20.720 it is necessary to prevent, here it is, imminent death

00:58:25.520 or great bodily harm to themselves or another

00:58:29.640 or the imminent commission of a forcible felony.

00:58:34.180 Example would be robbery, burglary, aggravated assault,

00:58:37.400 kidnapping, sexual battery.

00:58:40.020 This doesn't really come into play in this case.

00:58:45.380 So again, for you to use deadly physical force,

00:58:50.200 for you to use stand your ground

00:58:52.340 where you do not have to retreat,

00:58:55.520 from this situation and can indeed use deadly physical force the criteria is

00:59:03.520 that you must reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent imminent death imminent death or great

00:59:12.880 bodily harm to themselves or another person now we've all seen the video we've all seen the video

00:59:22.160 Does that look like a reasonable person in that circumstance would feel that they needed to kill someone to prevent themselves from being killed?

00:59:38.120 Well, Anthony, she had a gun.

00:59:42.760 The man was walking toward her.

00:59:46.480 So she might think if he gets my gun, he could use it against me. 0.99

00:59:52.160 uh-huh that's an interesting take well why does she have a gun out in the first place 1.00

00:59:59.400 if she didn't have a gun already in her hand she wouldn't have to worry that a man approaching her

01:00:08.360 might take her gun meanwhile nothing that this man was doing would indicate he meant her any

01:00:15.980 physical harm any physical harm whatsoever he hadn't uh put a hand on her during this entire

01:00:24.380 altercation yet she felt compelled to take a gun out of her car for a situation that did not

01:00:33.140 merit her taking a gun out that in and of itself is illegal you cannot pull a gun out on somebody

01:00:42.320 because of a verbal altercation over a parking space.

01:00:48.360 It doesn't matter what the subject is.

01:00:50.380 But if you're having a verbal argument with somebody,

01:00:53.700 you are not legally allowed to pull a gun out on them.

01:00:59.520 So the fact that she had a gun in her hand escalated the situation 0.99

01:01:05.220 from a verbal altercation to now more serious violent altercation.

01:01:13.200 She put herself in the position where she now might have to worry 0.66

01:01:20.140 that this guy's going to take her gun.

01:01:23.140 And again, he made no indication to that.

01:01:26.740 He was well out of arm's reach of her when she shot and killed him.

01:01:32.520 this is not self-defense as per the law the way it's written

01:01:40.480 stop being emotional stop being tribal with uh uh you know you're the same color as me

01:01:47.740 so i have to back you and people have asked me oh anthony if it was the other way around

01:01:54.040 you would obviously side with the uh white person uh even if they were the one doing the shooting

01:02:00.680 Nope. 0.65

01:02:01.780 I've done it in the past. 0.70

01:02:03.540 I've seen instances where it's been white people that have fired their weapon. 0.82

01:02:07.460 They were not justified in using deadly force, and I called it out. 0.89

01:02:12.020 Of course.

01:02:13.620 I wasn't being emotional about it.

01:02:15.820 People are being purely emotional, tribal.

01:02:18.420 They're using race and no common sense whatsoever.

01:02:22.760 We'll continue on this, and I want to hear from you people.

01:02:27.300 800-848-9222.

01:02:29.380 and we will return in a moment.

01:02:32.840 Remitly is trusted by Canadians to send money worldwide.

01:02:36.100 And staying close means caring deeply about all the little details,

01:02:39.820 like whether your sister loves Bibinka or was it Sapin Sapin?

01:02:43.460 Or checking for that goodnight text after you've caught the morning train to work.

01:02:47.380 Long distance life gives you plenty to keep track of,

01:02:50.000 but sending money, that's the easy part with Remitly.

01:02:53.240 remitly trusted by millions to send billions worldwide it's the anthony cumia show on the

01:03:05.360 red apple podcast network this is the anthony cumia show indeed and we're talking about that

01:03:13.680 walmart parking lot shooting a lot of people divided a lot of people believe that uh the

01:03:19.260 woman that shot the man was justified and it was self-defense other people saying no she had no

01:03:25.840 right to use deadly physical force on this guy even though florida has this stand your ground

01:03:30.620 statute um and there are a few other details here that uh make sense and i think point to 0.97

01:03:41.020 this woman having used deadly force when it was not appropriate um key qualifiers

01:03:49.420 the belief must be reasonable objective standard what a prudent person would believe

01:03:57.020 in the same circumstance this is what happens when it goes to a trial this is what happened

01:04:03.460 with the carmelo anthony case a jury is sitting there they are hearing both sides of the story

01:04:09.960 they have to imagine that they are in the place of the person claiming self-defense

01:04:15.580 and as a jury as reasonable people they have to put themselves in that position to go

01:04:22.160 would i in that situation use deadly force because i would have thought like this person

01:04:29.680 is claiming that my life was an imminent danger of being taken uh and that's really what you're

01:04:37.500 trying to do convince a jury that if they were in the same position they would do the same thing

01:04:43.500 uh the belief must be reasonable um the defender must not be engaged in criminal activity

01:04:50.980 the defender must be in a place where they have a legal right to be she was initial aggressors

01:04:58.020 generally cannot claim the defense unless they clearly withdraw and communicate the withdrawal

01:05:05.040 now this also is something people are saying well she was uh withdrawing well did she

01:05:12.820 communicate the withdrawal did she lower her weapon uh she's not obligated to withdraw if it

01:05:20.040 is indeed a self-defense case but it can and will if this goes to trial be argued that she was the

01:05:30.360 aggressor we don't even know who the initial aggressor was for the verbal altercation who

01:05:37.080 got out of the car and started yelling that's my parking space did anyone get physical there we

01:05:42.200 don't have video of the beginning of this um let's see there's more here um here we go verbal

01:05:54.840 threats alone usually do not justify deadly force now they use the word usually so it doesn't mean

01:06:05.240 100 i get that verbal threats alone usually do not justify deadly force there must be an imminent

01:06:12.380 threat of unlawful force or harm you have to believe that this man walking toward you

01:06:20.820 means to do you deadly physical harm.

01:06:27.300 And people that say he followed her around,

01:06:29.940 he was stalking her.

01:06:31.520 He went between cars.

01:06:33.800 Static.

01:06:35.960 I called in the Carmelo Anthony case,

01:06:38.660 I was calling certain aspects of the case,

01:06:41.620 certain things a lot of people were really discussing on social media.

01:06:45.700 I called that static.

01:06:47.560 And you know what that was?

01:06:48.820 well he was invited into the tent oh okay well uh was it one or two people that told him to leave

01:06:56.260 oh okay that's that's good was it raining did he go under the tent to get out of the rain oh

01:07:01.940 oh that's interesting static none of that mattered none of it and the fact that this guy

01:07:10.400 was walking around going between cars following her static that does not come into play

01:07:21.540 in this case being a self-defense case he did not do anything that we saw in the video

01:07:31.160 that could change did not do anything we could see in that video to indicate he meant her any

01:07:37.660 bodily harm and do you know he could have walked up to her and smacked her in the face

01:07:43.880 smacked her in the face she still wouldn't have been justified 0.95

01:07:47.740 in in drawing her weapon never mind shooting him in drawing her weapon 0.67

01:07:53.280 mutual combat or provocation if you started the fight or escalated it unreasonably the defense

01:08:05.440 is unavailable get that again mutual combat or provocation that's what we saw here if you start

01:08:15.740 the fight or escalate it unreasonably the defense the self-defense defense is unavailable to you

01:08:25.580 getting out of your car with a drawn gun and pointing it at someone you are having a verbal

01:08:35.420 argument with is escalation you how do you deny that unavailable if you escalate it you cannot

01:08:46.760 use self-defense as a defense obviously law enforcement encounters you can't use the same

01:08:53.720 rules hey the cop was doing this so i defended myself property defense of course that's if you're

01:09:00.100 home on your own property um and here's another thing they talk about the stand your ground law

01:09:07.260 in florida uh and it is a statute statute retreat still possible in practice this is a limitation

01:09:18.940 this is something that is taken into consideration during these cases even if no legal duty exists

01:09:28.000 juries and judges evaluate reasonableness and choosing to retreat when possible can strengthen

01:09:35.420 a claim she was in her car this dispute was over the dispute about the parking space

01:09:45.220 the guy moved on he apparently parked somewhere else from some of the limited witness testimony

01:09:52.480 we have she started mouthing off to him he came over to mouth off to her he didn't have a gun 0.69

01:09:59.980 she came out of the car with a gun in her hand to answer to a verbal argument

01:10:06.120 does not give her the right and it certainly doesn't come under the criteria here in florida

01:10:14.320 for self-defense just doesn't and it has really divided people i'm seeing abe from flushing new

01:10:23.180 york abe does not agree with me and i'd like to hear what abe has to say uh what's up my friend

01:10:28.600 anthony hi it's uh i'm always on your side but over here no that's good we love uh difference

01:10:38.540 of opinions here's the crucial part of it he was advancing towards her and she said do not

01:10:45.640 come any closer i will shoot you there was no if he wants a mouth off to her he doesn't have to 0.63

01:10:52.820 come into her space the minute he advances on her she feels threatened and she doesn't know 1.00

01:11:00.460 that he's he's going to give her a smack he could strangle her you she has no idea there was a lot

01:11:07.840 hostility okay let me let me let me answer that abe you cannot shoot someone because they might 0.56

01:11:15.280 do this or they could do that you need the the law is very specific when it says you feel you are in

01:11:23.120 imminent danger of of losing your life or grave bodily harm imminent danger you can't look at

01:11:31.760 bodily danger yeah you can't point is is somebody if if if the hostility was at a certain pitch and

01:11:38.780 you see a certain degree of anger it's one thing if there's a gentlemanly you know argument but

01:11:45.160 if there is a lot of hostility and there is no reason for him we didn't see any we didn't see

01:11:50.920 any hostility from this guy he was slowly walking around the parking lot at one point his hands were

01:11:57.780 raised up over his head he never approached her in a way that a reasonable person did you see no

01:12:04.800 i didn't listen to me listen to me listen to me listen to me i'm not saying he never approached

01:12:11.160 her i'm saying he never approached her looking like he was being menacing it was a very slow 1.00

01:12:17.640 walk toward her it was dumb it was stupid he should have ran for his life but this does not 1.00

01:12:25.420 give her justification to shoot him because she thinks he might do this or he could do that. 1.00

01:12:32.340 She needs to be convinced that, like, if he had a bat or a knife in his hand, 0.93

01:12:40.580 oh, did I go off the hook here? All right, we'll be back in moments. Don't go anywhere.

01:12:48.460 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:12:52.800 it's the anthony comia show god i was i was all wound up i totally threw myself off as far as

01:13:02.620 having to go to a commercial break it happens but um yeah i i i can't understand how people

01:13:13.280 can't see this with with the way the laws are written in florida for self-defense

01:13:19.320 uh with what we saw on the video again limited i get it i'm not arguing that this is absolutely

01:13:28.260 gospel everything i'm saying is 100 what happened and how it's going to go no of course not but we

01:13:37.040 all only have that limited information and from what i saw uh i believe she was not justified 0.76

01:13:47.500 in shooting this guy the guy did some really stupid things he should have run for his life

01:13:54.700 i don't understand how people aren't afraid of guns anymore people have guns drawn on them 0.99

01:14:01.260 and they will start mouthing off and uh sometimes it ends in them getting shot

01:14:07.260 it's crazy run leave i'm sorry please forgive me i'm leaving right now uh there's nothing wrong

01:14:16.980 with doing that you know the guns involved you better and it is it isn't in your hand you better

01:14:23.980 swallow your pride even if it is in your hand gun ownership going out with concealed weapon on you

01:14:31.240 to protect yourself means you have decided you are not going to get into these little squabbles

01:14:37.000 over parking spaces you're not you're going to swallow your pride you're not going to um

01:14:41.500 get into a fight because somebody said something to you uh it doesn't work that way that that's

01:14:49.440 an amazing responsibility having a concealed weapon on you and um you you can't just think

01:14:57.340 you can use it whenever you feel offended or slighted or a verbal argument where you feel

01:15:03.740 you're right and the other person's wrong uh it doesn't work that way and what i was saying right

01:15:09.840 before that break during that break as a matter of fact was that a lot of this doesn't even come

01:15:18.940 into play if it goes to trial he was approaching her she could have thought that if he gets close

01:15:29.000 he's going to do this to me he's going to do that you know what worked in the George

01:15:34.740 Zimmerman case he pled self-defense in the killing of Trayvon Martin and people say oh Trayvon he

01:15:46.400 shot Trayvon because Trayvon had skittles and iced tea and it was because he was black and

01:15:52.140 they're trying to equate it with this case saying well Zimmerman got out of his car with a gun

01:15:58.060 yeah he did not in his hand he was a concealed carry weapons holder he saw somebody in his

01:16:06.940 neighborhood he was part of some cockamamie came cockamamie neighborhood watch for whatever that

01:16:13.720 was worth and he approached Trayvon and asked him what he was doing in that development that

01:16:21.680 apartment building development he didn't pull the gun on him when Trayvon walked over to him

01:16:29.940 to have word with him he didn't pull a gun out and start shooting George Zimmerman shot Trayvon

01:16:36.740 Martin when Trayvon was on top of him smashing his head into the concrete to the point where

01:16:43.960 george zimmerman was thinking i am going to pass out and if i pass out based on the violence this

01:16:52.960 guy has already put upon me i can reasonably think that if he finds a gun on me he will shoot me with

01:17:01.720 it not because he was walking around he didn't shoot trayvon with his skittles and iced tea

01:17:07.520 because he goes, well, if he walks up to me and hits me,

01:17:11.020 he might take my gun.

01:17:12.640 You can't.

01:17:13.780 That doesn't justify shooting someone 0.99

01:17:15.740 until he's bashing your head in on the sidewalk.

01:17:20.920 Then you have an absolute right to defend yourself,

01:17:24.240 which George Zimmerman did, killed Trayvon,

01:17:27.880 trial acquitted on self-defense.

01:17:31.700 The two cases are completely different.

01:17:35.100 the man from what we saw in the video never indicated he was going to cause her any physical

01:17:43.320 harm didn't indicate it he wasn't pushing her he never raged at her from what we see in this video

01:17:52.360 they were having a verbal altercation she pulled a gun out escalating the situation

01:18:01.400 It was not reasonable for her to take a gun out at that point.

01:18:07.440 If she had a gun concealed on her and the guy starts walking over to her

01:18:14.800 to talk or whatever, she could not draw that gun.

01:18:19.340 If he hit her, if she felt that this guy now is getting physical with me,

01:18:27.760 then she could make the decision.

01:18:29.540 do i feel that my life is being threatened right now but the situation being what it was

01:18:37.840 her drawing the weapon in the first place was illegal everything that happened after that

01:18:45.120 a lot of it is inconsequential at that point she's the one that escalated the situation 0.99

01:18:52.340 she's the only one that used any violence the threat of deadly physical force was hers in 0.94

01:19:00.820 pulling the gun out and pointing it at her the use of deadly physical force was on her the only

01:19:06.600 person in this conflict that used any type of physical force deadly so everything people have

01:19:15.120 been saying to me to try to say she was justified is static they're arguing the nonsensical static

01:19:23.220 parts of this that don't add up to what the law says what the florida law says

01:19:31.400 so i don't know what the hell uh you guys are looking at but you're looking

01:19:37.500 in the wrong uh direction let me just say that gary central islip new york i used to live there

01:19:46.440 in old ci hey gary can you hear me yeah gary i can hear you let me say from central islip you

01:19:52.080 know you had someone blow their head off with fireworks uh you're you're you're spot on with

01:19:57.800 every comment you're making uh the zimmerman thing i mean it was equal force till he was

01:20:03.780 going to get killed there you go and then uh and then you you can't even someone approaches you

01:20:11.760 i mean i had a carry permit i'm an ffl holder you can't even open your coat to show your gun 0.97

01:20:17.380 in a way brandishing it's called brandishing there's a law against it even in florida brandishing

01:20:23.340 and i'll give you another one if the guy had a back and he knocked out her headlights he still 0.99

01:20:28.980 didn't have a case still he'd have to come to the window and try to hit her before she fires 1.00

01:20:34.420 yeah in a verbal altercation he could even have said i will kill you she still doesn't she still 0.76

01:20:42.180 doesn't have the uh justification to shoot him you've got to have a high level i had an altercation 0.99

01:20:49.420 with a kid and he he cold cocks me on the street you know with all this knockout stuff and what am 0.63

01:20:55.880 i gonna do i just threw him to the ground said don't get up or you're gonna get hurt and then 0.86

01:20:59.800 i said to the cop i don't want to be the guy killing trayvon martin yep i was being assaulted

01:21:05.560 on the streets of new york city big black woman decided uh she was gonna smack me and uh i left

01:21:14.140 i walked back to my apartment i had a uh gun on me at the time legally carrying a weapon in uh it

01:21:21.520 It was in Times Square in New York City.

01:21:24.960 And it never, never entered my mind to use that weapon.

01:21:31.360 There was no indication.

01:21:32.400 And she got physical with me.

01:21:34.220 There was no justification for me to use deadly physical force right there.

01:21:39.360 I agree 100%.

01:21:41.180 And by the way, I just am gobsmacked with your show.

01:21:47.340 I tell all my buddies, I said, you've got to listen to this guy.

01:21:50.860 I love it, Gary.

01:21:52.160 Thanks, man.

01:21:52.940 Right before you go, though, let me, because I wanted to ask you about the guy that blew his head off with the fireworks in Central Islip last night.

01:22:00.460 I only heard about it.

01:22:02.340 I don't know anything more than that, but it was pretty intense around here.

01:22:07.320 I keep horses here right off the park.

01:22:09.340 Oh, geez, are they going crazy?

01:22:10.620 And the flashes that were going off back here, I just saw my horses running back and forth.

01:22:16.600 I hope one doesn't run through a fence.

01:22:18.600 so yeah yeah that's crazy oh very cool i like the idea that there's still people with horses

01:22:23.980 on long island oh yeah right on uh right on connect quad park there's probably 100 head

01:22:27.940 of horses on my two blocks oh wow very cool gary thanks uh thanks for the call i appreciate it man

01:22:33.160 thank you man here he goes yeah thank you thank you for agreeing with me no i i i don't mind

01:22:41.920 people that have a differing viewpoint at all and look like i said i'm no lawyer i just i'm trying

01:22:49.680 to use common sense here and i'm working with what we all saw the limited amount of evidence

01:22:55.780 that we saw and i just am not seeing any any instance where this woman could claim self-defense

01:23:03.740 i just do not see it um let's see there's another one here oh yeah charles charles

01:23:11.700 Queens, New York.

01:23:13.420 What's up?

01:23:14.640 First of all, I really love your show.

01:23:16.480 I love your style.

01:23:17.560 Thank you, man.

01:23:18.240 Now, I'm not a Royer, and I did not see the video. 0.99

01:23:24.180 I have a stupid phone, not a smartphone. 0.99

01:23:27.080 However, you got one of those Jitterbug phones with the big red cross button just in case you hurt yourself. 1.00

01:23:34.040 Oh, give me my Jitterbug.

01:23:35.560 My grandchildren can send me pitches.

01:23:38.940 Uh-huh.

01:23:39.460 Okay.

01:23:39.740 All right.

01:23:40.240 I did not see the video, but I've been listening to the show for the last 20 minutes.

01:23:45.240 And I've heard all your reasons why no defense.

01:23:48.860 Right.

01:23:49.400 If you're not a lawyer, I would have loved to take on the case and make a case.

01:23:54.000 And I'm passionate about it.

01:23:55.080 It's not a trick.

01:23:56.400 I wouldn't write.

01:23:58.720 I don't want to mention names.

01:24:00.600 All the woke is in low lives.

01:24:03.360 They're the ones that made it happen.

01:24:05.200 She has a right.

01:24:06.040 If she follows the news like I do, she has a right to think.

01:24:09.460 She's living in a freaking war zone, in a war zone that you have no defense. 1.00

01:24:15.160 She's a woman. 1.00

01:24:16.540 I assume she's not a wrestler, okay?

01:24:19.320 And a man goes next to her, and a friend of hers, it happened maybe to a friend of hers,

01:24:23.640 or she knows somebody, maybe it happened to her too once before, and it's PTSD.

01:24:28.680 The point is, the wrong person is being indicted.

01:24:31.700 She's living in a war zone. 0.97

01:24:33.380 She's living in anarchy. 0.99

01:24:35.660 Why is only 1% of the outrage at what's going on 0.51

01:24:41.600 is only 1% of what it should be?

01:24:45.420 I don't want to say something that I get into trouble.

01:24:49.140 All these advocates are enablers.

01:24:53.260 I mean more than that, by the way.

01:24:55.280 They are.

01:24:56.260 I understand.

01:24:57.200 I don't know if that can come into play with her claim of self-defense.

01:25:01.560 If she had some prior event that made her more afraid of this situation, maybe that could be relevant.

01:25:11.800 I don't think it would be.

01:25:13.540 I think we're looking at a case here where if they do arrest her and she is indicted for this,

01:25:21.500 I think we're looking at more of a case of just straightforward self-defense. 0.99

01:25:25.500 uh was would the jury with all the evidence considered do the same thing she did would

01:25:33.340 they feel being reasonable people that their life was in imminent danger of being taken

01:25:38.720 and i just don't see it uh just like i didn't see it with the uh carmelo anthony case

01:25:44.900 but she has the right to feel that she's living in a war zone well she does but that isn't that

01:25:52.320 isn't the uh fault of the guy that got shot here uh you can't justify shooting someone because

01:26:00.600 you're afraid of everything when you leave the house no but it's the fault of the regressors

01:26:06.880 they should be tried yeah well there's a lot of people that should be judges

01:26:10.820 da's uh politicians believe me the gallows can't be long enough to fit uh a lot of people there

01:26:19.200 uh charles thanks for the call my friend i i appreciate that but uh yeah you know

01:26:25.360 this is going to be another one and the fact that it's racially charged you know a black woman and

01:26:32.920 a white guy anytime these two groups of people have a problem it is divided down uh color lines

01:26:42.500 you know people black people look at the thing and say she's absolutely justified and there are

01:26:49.480 white people i don't think the percentage of white people that are looking at this

01:26:54.560 are adamant that she was wrong i see a lot of white people that are saying that she was justified to

01:27:01.840 do this but the multitude of people defending her are black people and it was the same thing 0.55

01:27:08.320 with the Carmelo Anthony case uh I think when you look at a common color the person that did 0.99

01:27:17.740 something and the color of your skin and you side with them based on that uh it's ridiculous it's 1.00

01:27:24.900 ignorant it's stupid it makes you look stupid I'm not siding with the the guy that got killed here 1.00

01:27:31.040 i'm looking at the law i i said uh casey anthony was innocent when that trial was going on 1.00

01:27:39.940 i said yeah they do not have a case here they cannot figure out how the kid even died never

01:27:47.820 mind who did it and all the moms on social media on the news shows that they had they're all like

01:27:55.620 oh she's gonna burn in hell that woman a mother how could she have done that to the kid and i'm

01:28:02.380 sitting there going take the emotion out of it take your maternal instincts out of it look at 1.00

01:28:08.620 the case look at the evidence there is nothing that ties her to that dead kid oh she's a liar

01:28:16.040 she lied about everything the kid disappears she doesn't report the kid gone for a while

01:28:22.500 but the prosecution could not say here's how this kid died and here's how she did it

01:28:29.680 and i'm saying she's going to be acquitted and people called me nuts and then the carmelo anthony

01:28:35.600 case was a simple case there's nothing no jury is going to sit there and go oh i'd have stabbed

01:28:42.360 him in the chest if he walked over said hey and put his hand on my shoulder gave me a push and 0.99

01:28:46.800 said leave the tent oh right oh that's imminent death oh i need to stab him right in the chest 0.99

01:28:52.420 no jury reasonable reasonable jury is gonna uh uh say that that he was justified in doing that 0.99

01:29:00.780 and i'm saying the same thing here this woman i don't care if he's walking toward her i don't

01:29:08.480 care if he's going in between cars i don't care that they had an argument beforehand her taking 0.99

01:29:15.480 the gun out was escalating the situation. There was no need, no reason for her to take 1.00

01:29:23.920 that gun out of that car. And when she did that, she escalated the situation. She put 0.51

01:29:32.180 herself in more danger. Now she could let her imagination run wild. This guy comes up

01:29:39.080 to me. He's going to take my gun. I need to shoot him. Well, you escalated it. And like

01:29:44.840 i read in the law if you escalate if you started the fight or escalated it unreasonably the defense

01:29:52.240 is unavailable self-defense is unavailable and and i absolutely believe it was unreasonable

01:30:01.240 for her to look at the situation at hand and think she needed to take a gun out of her car

01:30:08.320 for what was nothing more than a verbal altercation that never got physical 1.00

01:30:13.440 in the entire time they were arguing over a damn parking space. 0.99

01:30:18.980 Move on, people. 0.99

01:30:20.900 It's just too volatile these days to mouth off about a parking space

01:30:27.660 where someone cut you off.

01:30:29.900 I used to be an insane road rage guy.

01:30:33.960 Somebody cut me off, I'd hit the gas, didn't care, 100 miles an hour.

01:30:38.240 I'm catching up to them.

01:30:40.040 I'm swerving into them.

01:30:41.840 I'm looking down into my cup holder to see if I have a golf ball

01:30:44.960 or change in there or a bottle to throw at the cup. 0.65

01:30:48.540 I was nuts.

01:30:50.580 And then as I got a little older, I'm like, what the hell am I doing?

01:30:54.700 Why would I put myself in danger for something that if I just let off the gas,

01:31:00.560 took a deep breath, wouldn't even think about a minute later,

01:31:04.900 wouldn't even bother me.

01:31:05.940 And I'm willing to risk my life for a little place, a little spot of real estate in a Walmart parking lot. 0.99

01:31:17.460 It's the dumbest thing you can do, people. 1.00

01:31:20.860 Do not do it. 0.99

01:31:22.660 But I believe she was completely at fault here and not justified in shooting that guy.

01:31:29.360 Back in a minute.

01:31:30.640 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:31:36.600 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:31:38.940 Entertaining and informative.

01:31:41.040 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:31:45.400 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:31:47.740 Thanks so much for tuning in this Sunday on 4th of July weekend.

01:31:53.640 I don't know what this story is.

01:31:55.900 I just saw it while I was scrolling through X.

01:31:58.700 I'm going to need more details, but the headline here just says,

01:32:01.900 man kidnapped by two prostitutes in Oakland

01:32:05.600 and forced to transfer money from an ATM.

01:32:10.180 Look, dude, whatever you need to tell your wife, 0.94

01:32:13.600 that's your business.

01:32:15.060 But that is the worst excuse I've ever heard 1.00

01:32:18.680 for taking money out and getting two prostitutes. 0.96

01:32:22.740 I hope it works for you, though. 0.55

01:32:24.180 I hope it works for you.

01:32:26.460 I doubt it will.

01:32:29.240 Danny, Danny from Astoria.

01:32:31.900 What's up, Dan?

01:32:33.920 Hey, I agree with you 100%.

01:32:35.900 First of all, that guy, he shouldn't have walked toward the girl.

01:32:39.660 You see a gun, you walk away.

01:32:41.200 Of course.

01:32:42.480 Yeah, and he walks slowly toward her.

01:32:44.600 He's probably mouthing off.

01:32:46.120 Yep. 0.54

01:32:46.500 But you can't shoot him because you feel afraid.

01:32:48.900 I mean, by that logic, I could walk down Fifth Avenue,

01:32:52.140 feel terrified by everybody, you know, from fire.

01:32:54.980 It doesn't make any sense.

01:32:57.040 Right.

01:32:57.420 How many times have you been walking around,

01:32:58.940 you see somebody giving you the stink eye,

01:33:00.780 They give you some guff. 0.98

01:33:02.860 You hit them a little.

01:33:04.660 Your elbows or your shoulders hit while you're walking down the sidewalk,

01:33:08.200 and they'll tell you, hey, MF, you know, what was that about?

01:33:12.720 Can I just draw my weapon because I feel they're going to do something to me?

01:33:17.620 No, of course not.

01:33:19.300 No, and I walk out of my house every day with a gun, at least one.

01:33:22.720 I'm very situational, to be aware.

01:33:26.360 I'm calm and quiet.

01:33:28.400 I don't bother anybody.

01:33:30.220 But you've got to use your head.

01:33:32.020 This guy didn't use his head at all. 0.63

01:33:34.300 And the woman, she'll be lucky if she gets manslaughter because there was no audio. 0.56

01:33:39.640 But, you know, if he was cursing and ranting and raving, you know, then maybe she can get manslaughter.

01:33:44.720 But that's about it.

01:33:46.020 She was dead wrong.

01:33:47.420 She was wrong in this one.

01:33:48.560 I don't know how so many people are.

01:33:50.860 You know, again, it's so much emotion.

01:33:53.240 And it's just right down racial lines a lot of times.

01:33:56.480 And it's always a bunch of stuff that is inconsequential to the case itself.

01:34:01.980 No one wants to look at the facts because sometimes it interferes with their beliefs or their passions or their emotions.

01:34:09.920 Look at the evidence.

01:34:12.080 Look at the case law.

01:34:14.300 And just and again, I can't say this enough.

01:34:17.620 It's limited.

01:34:18.420 I haven't seen a fraction of what would be seen in a courtroom and heard from other people.

01:34:25.740 So I don't know, but based on what we've all seen so far, this does not look like self-defense.

01:34:31.700 She really, no pun, jumped the gun with pulling that gun out and getting out of her vehicle with it where there was no reason.

01:34:39.560 And one more thing I've noticed.

01:34:41.840 I've noticed one thing.

01:34:43.420 They think since they have a right to own a weapon, that equates to, I can use the weapon whenever I want.

01:34:50.180 Carmelo Anthony and this lady, they're just using it because they have the right to own it.

01:34:54.900 It doesn't work like that.

01:34:56.920 You know, what was that line in Spider-Man?

01:34:58.780 With great power comes great responsibility.

01:35:01.680 A gun is so much power.

01:35:05.340 And power is a great thing when you need equalization with an adversary.

01:35:11.320 If someone is trying to kill you and they are bigger than you, it's a great equalizer.

01:35:17.680 You know, I don't want my my grandma to have to get into a protracted knife fight with a young gang member.

01:35:27.280 She would be dead in a second if she has a gun. 0.99

01:35:30.820 She has a great fighting chance, the great equalizer.

01:35:34.460 But with that power to equalize with an adversary is the responsibility that you need to check a lot of things at the door when you leave your house with a gun on you.

01:35:48.460 Pride.

01:35:49.380 You can't take pride with you.

01:35:51.360 You can't take anger with you.

01:35:54.000 Jealousy.

01:35:54.840 There's a lot of things you need to leave at the door when you carry a weapon.

01:35:59.300 You're carrying that weapon for protection.

01:36:02.020 your protection protection of your loved ones and and you don't get something for nothing

01:36:08.760 you know you look at physics physics tells you you can't get something for nothing with that

01:36:14.840 amazing power and ability to protect you and your family the sacrifice that's made the cost for that

01:36:21.820 is that you can't act like you want to act in some circumstances you can't be an overly proud

01:36:29.400 person that is willing to defend their pride because somebody uh disrespected you and get

01:36:36.180 into a fight that might lead to somebody laying on the sidewalk bleeding out uh so unless you're

01:36:43.260 ready for that i would leave the gun at home in a locked box perhaps but when you take one out 0.99

01:36:50.580 and you're carrying it with you in public uh you got to check a lot of shit oh my god i cursed 0.98

01:36:57.620 punch out of that you gotta you gotta check a lot of stuff at the door i can't believe it danny i'm 0.99

01:37:06.240 i'm being potty mouth over here you're exactly right though and i make sure i have a gun insurance

01:37:12.360 you know to pay for lawyers if god forbid yeah yeah yeah you need that too definitely and the 0.96

01:37:17.260 other great line from spider-man was he stinks and i don't like him jim norton silly truck driver 0.96

01:37:25.300 All right, man. 0.66

01:37:26.020 Thank you, Danny.

01:37:28.160 I do that every so often.

01:37:29.980 I just feel so natural in speaking, like I'm speaking to a friend. 0.95

01:37:34.860 And then I threw out an S-bomb right there, and I hope they caught it. 0.51

01:37:39.120 You guys catch that back at base? 0.69

01:37:42.560 No?

01:37:45.320 You didn't catch it?

01:37:46.640 Oh, no.

01:37:47.720 I'm going to be fired.

01:37:48.720 The FCC is going to get me.

01:37:50.620 I said it without the T.

01:37:52.800 Put it that way.

01:37:53.480 oh the boss is listening oh my god i'm in trouble yeah well what are you gonna do

01:38:00.380 it happens all right uh we're gonna move on to uh something now when i first saw this 0.65

01:38:06.860 i thought oh this is a good topic it involves uh hunter biden um he's you know he's an a-hole we

01:38:16.980 We don't put much credibility or credence in what he says, 0.98

01:38:23.680 plagued by drug issues, and he's a degenerate.

01:38:29.240 The laptop was just full of incriminating evidence.

01:38:35.300 He was also convicted of a gun crime.

01:38:39.160 He lied on his application to buy a gun, and he was found guilty of that.

01:38:46.440 his daddy pardoned him after he said he wouldn't pardon his son i won't will not pardon her i'm

01:38:54.320 not gonna do that and then he pardons him but par for the course you know that's those are the

01:39:00.480 bidens so he put out a fourth of july ex post about donald trump and the trump family and i 0.98

01:39:09.220 read through it and i was like you know this guy has been a piece of garbage his whole life 0.97

01:39:16.460 And I like the Trumps. 1.00

01:39:18.640 I like Donald Trump as president.

01:39:21.400 I've had Don Jr. on my shows, my Internet show and the Opie and Anthony show years ago.

01:39:28.940 I like him.

01:39:31.060 They seem like a good family, you know.

01:39:33.560 Their kids are good.

01:39:35.360 Trump's grandkids seem like they got stuff going on and they're smart and responsible. 1.00

01:39:40.880 and uh so i read this i'm like all right let me see what this idiot's up to he writes uh i hope 0.99

01:39:48.200 everyone had a great fourth of july i know donald trump and family did so i'm like oh is he being 0.94

01:39:53.940 magnanimous is he uh you know putting the old guy getting the old olive branch out there uh 250

01:40:01.640 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business

01:40:06.040 In just 18 months, the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

01:40:11.340 And then he lists a few things.

01:40:13.620 $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program's history,

01:40:17.640 to a company Don Jr.'s firm bought into three months before they got this loan.

01:40:24.360 Air Force drone contract to a startup that Princelings took public

01:40:30.820 through a golf course company that they own a piece of.

01:40:34.180 the army's largest drone motor order ever to a company where don jr sits on the board and holds

01:40:40.880 millions in stock 24 million dollar pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs

01:40:48.500 eric trump as chief strategy advisor a stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth

01:40:56.620 in Kazakhstan, comrade,

01:40:59.420 backed by $1.6 billion in U.S. government support.

01:41:03.760 Jared, he's a fund seeded with $2 billion

01:41:06.520 from the Saudi Crown Prince,

01:41:08.740 now $6.2 billion,

01:41:10.720 99% of it foreign money from the Gulf governments,

01:41:14.240 over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone.

01:41:17.560 He negotiates American foreign policy

01:41:20.900 with the governments that pay him.

01:41:23.920 $2.3 billion from cryptocurrency.

01:41:26.620 ventures their father regulates more than a million people bought in and lost 2.3 billion

01:41:33.880 the money didn't grow it simply moved from the subject's pocket to the crown's coffers

01:41:39.280 and the next one uh is already drafted uh a proposed atf rule that will allow guns to be

01:41:46.300 shipped straight to your door the government owns estimated uh the government's own estimate

01:41:51.280 is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year.

01:41:56.000 Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore

01:41:59.480 built to cash in.

01:42:01.820 He holds 300,000 shares of that company.

01:42:05.760 And then he says not one subpoena,

01:42:07.820 no grand juries, no anything. 1.00

01:42:10.640 Now, look, he's a piece of garbage. 1.00

01:42:15.100 He really is. 1.00

01:42:17.120 Hunter Biden is a degenerate. 0.95

01:42:19.900 there are allegations that he has been involved in crimes against humanity i mean we we've seen 0.91

01:42:27.500 some of the pictures and descriptions of things he's involved in so i wasn't just going to go off

01:42:34.620 and and bash him without doing a little checking oh boy um this doesn't look good it's not a good

01:42:47.980 look i'm not saying it doesn't look good and donald trump is going to prison for it and the

01:42:52.680 trump kids are doing anything illegal um i'm just saying this is a bad look and i'm a trump supporter

01:43:02.920 don't don't even think i'm not don't think i'm a plant i'm an op i'm a psyop i'm a fed i'm this

01:43:09.760 i'm that uh when we get back from the break i'm gonna go through a few of these that we just

01:43:16.400 mentioned from hunter's text or a post and it really does not it's not a good look this shouldn't

01:43:24.140 be happening and uh we'll talk about that next it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast

01:43:31.480 network it's the anthony cumia show and we're uh we're yapping about uh the trumps and uh the

01:43:41.080 money that the trump businesses are making through the trump kids don jr and eric and company

01:43:49.540 uh and is it uh i don't think it's illegal i don't think it's illegal is it is it ethical

01:43:58.960 donald trump is the president and uh he does not run the day-to-day business of the trump

01:44:07.280 corporation and the trump businesses uh that that doesn't mean that the his family

01:44:16.580 and the businesses can't profit off of some of the decisions that donald trump makes

01:44:23.060 now if he's giving them information uh and that's provable that probably is a crime

01:44:29.900 um but like i said hunter biden had uh written an x post about all these things the trumps are

01:44:38.180 doing to make money and how the influence of the president of the united states is uh giving them

01:44:45.380 huge profits and they're getting preferential treatment on some of these loans and grants

01:44:51.720 and contracts so we listed a bunch of things and i went through these and i did a little research

01:44:58.680 to find out if what Hunter Biden was saying was, in fact, true.

01:45:03.540 And there's some shadiness here.

01:45:09.360 The $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program's history,

01:45:13.240 to Vulcan Elements, three months after Don Jr.'s firm invested.

01:45:23.300 1789 Capital, where Trump Jr. is a partner,

01:45:26.060 took an undisclosed stake in Vulcan Elements,

01:45:29.300 a North Carolina rare-earth magnet startup for drones and satellites.

01:45:33.440 In August 2025, as part of a funding round, he did that.

01:45:39.600 In November 2025, the Pentagon Office of Strategic Capital

01:45:42.660 announced a $620 million conditional loan to Vulcan,

01:45:48.900 the largest by the office.

01:45:50.940 Vulcan also received $50 million from commerce chips-related, computer chips, DOD contracts.

01:46:02.760 Vulcan's valuation reportedly rose from $200 million toward $2 billion.

01:46:10.680 And that doesn't look good.

01:46:15.060 It does not look good.

01:46:16.120 senior advisor peter navarro with personal ties to trump jr directed pentagon staff to expedite

01:46:22.640 the deal unusually quickly bypassing or shortening normal vetting uh context and counterpoints

01:46:31.320 this fits broader trump administration priorities on critical minerals so it's not like they're

01:46:38.100 doing it and when it's looked into people say well they don't even need this america doesn't

01:46:45.060 need this why would the president be involved in this it is something that is good for the country

01:46:50.400 rare earth magnets uh are a huge resource right now for drones satellites ai

01:46:57.700 but the fact that don jr is involved in this company and this is the company that gets

01:47:06.560 millions upon millions of dollars in in uh dod contracts and loans it's not a good look

01:47:15.000 um air force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course

01:47:23.660 company that they own a piece of that's weird power as florida drone interceptor drone maker

01:47:33.460 receives investment from eric and don jr announced march of 2026 it planned to go public via a merger

01:47:42.140 with Arius Greenway Holdings described in reports

01:47:48.740 as a Trump family-linked golf course holding company.

01:47:54.440 Now, I don't know how you merge an Air Force drone contract,

01:48:02.020 a company that would take money for Air Force drones,

01:48:05.980 developing drone technology

01:48:10.420 and merge it with a golf course.

01:48:14.180 But if the Trump family is owners or part owners in the golf course,

01:48:19.480 it does not look good.

01:48:22.440 That is not a good look.

01:48:25.180 I've never heard of that before.

01:48:27.860 It's like taking a car company

01:48:30.680 and merging it with a cereal company.

01:48:35.000 you know what do you ford motor company is now kellogg's seems shenanigan ish army's largest

01:48:45.000 drone motor order ever to a company where don jr sits on the board and holds millions in stock

01:48:51.160 um unusual machines a drone component motor maker added don jr to its advisory board in

01:48:59.920 November 24 shortly after the election he received shares uh 200,000 to 332,000

01:49:07.480 valued in the millions in October 2025 it won an army contract for 3,500 drone motors and

01:49:15.760 components described in company and some media reports as a major uh the law uh as a major

01:49:24.800 support and funding

01:49:26.740 for the

01:49:28.820 government order, yeah, okay, stock reached

01:49:30.920 positively,

01:49:33.040 reacted positively to related

01:49:34.940 news. Defense

01:49:36.980 Tech Push says

01:49:38.960 Don Jr.'s role as advisor or

01:49:40.880 investor company statements and its

01:49:42.940 representatives have said

01:49:44.400 he does not lobby the administration

01:49:46.560 on its behalf. Critics

01:49:49.020 see a pattern of family proximity

01:49:50.700 coinciding with favorable outcomes.

01:49:52.540 No proven illegal

01:49:54.240 coordination reported though again this might be completely legitimate and legal

01:50:03.020 but it does not look good at all and i've been hearing about this for a while but i never really

01:50:11.420 looked into it i just said oh knock it off everyone does business look trump was a multi

01:50:17.240 million billion dollar company when he became president for the first term uh and for the

01:50:24.900 second term so it's not like he became president he's making the presidential salary and then he's

01:50:32.380 doing things and making businesses for his kids the businesses were all set up they're they're

01:50:39.640 just running his empire while he can't while he's the president and that was always my thing you

01:50:46.640 can't tell someone that their family can't run a business just because the father is the president

01:50:51.520 but some of this looks really bad it doesn't look ethical at all and then there's uh there's a

01:51:01.980 pentagon robotics contract the company employs eric trump as chief strategy advisor uh that

01:51:10.740 doesn't look good then there's the stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit in

01:51:16.340 and that's backed by a 1.6 billion dollar u.s government support uh payout

01:51:24.820 and that is linked to donald trump jr and eric trump sometimes with ties to commerce secretary

01:51:36.920 howard lutnik's family uh they acquired stakes 20 percent in related um entities around the time

01:51:45.320 of the deal u.s government support and financing discussions or commitments were up to 1.6 billion

01:51:51.680 have been referenced in coverage as part of critical minerals strategy so again it's needed

01:51:58.360 we need these minerals we need tungsten but do the trumps have to be involved in it financially

01:52:04.660 in a way that makes them richer there's a few more i won't go into all of them it's

01:52:12.840 like i said not a good look i think if you wanted to make it look like and then the crypto thing you

01:52:21.000 know trump obviously has pull in regulating in some ways cryptocurrency and he's deeply involved

01:52:28.320 in crypto and they've made a lot of money and a lot of people have lost a lot of money on the

01:52:34.520 trump coin uh but the people that don't lose the money are insiders the people that bought that

01:52:41.760 at a price and then the price goes down uh you're left holding the bag but that money goes somewhere

01:52:47.860 and it seems like a lot of it went into the trump family uh into into their uh bank accounts so

01:52:54.320 while i support trump uh this is one of those instances where i have to say this is a bad look

01:53:01.020 i don't think they should have done these things i can't see how trump jr being on the board of

01:53:09.260 directors for a defense contractor isn't a conflict of interest i cannot see how people

01:53:18.440 could look at that and say it's not a conflict and if it if you could somehow prove it isn't a

01:53:25.840 conflict it still looks bad and with the with the uh midterms coming up the last thing uh the trump

01:53:35.120 administration needs is some scandal that can easily be put out there to make the family look

01:53:43.880 bad. I'm a supporter, and I think it looks terrible. You don't think the opposition,

01:53:52.600 the Democrats, liberals are going to sit on this and not use it? Back in a moment.

01:54:05.120 it is the anthony comia show and uh i want to talk a little bit about mayor johnson my favorite

01:54:15.000 mayor in the country brandon johnson over there in chicago uh this guy you'd be hard pressed

01:54:24.200 to find a worse mayor a worse mayor than brandon johnson in chicago uh mem danny you know he's got

01:54:33.840 potential he's uh relatively new so uh he could do a lot of damage but uh brandon johnson it's

01:54:43.980 it's just a reign of death he's a plague on chicago so many people have died on his watch

01:54:53.240 as mayor directly because of his policies his his lack of ambition to do anything about the insane

01:55:03.560 amount of violence that goes on in chicago he's the mayor he runs the police department

01:55:12.020 and he will not allow the cops to do what they need to do get the chicago police in great numbers

01:55:21.380 and have them bust up anything that resembles a teen gathering uh they get together for these

01:55:30.480 street takeovers. They get together to run through malls, county fairs, amusement parks,

01:55:41.760 anything going on. And the result is violence, destruction, and even death. There's a lot of

01:55:51.320 what they call gun violence. That's what they call it. I've never seen a gun be violent. It

01:55:58.000 It usually has to be in a violent person's hand for that to happen,

01:56:02.300 but that's what they want to call it.

01:56:04.940 So I've been listening to Mayor Johnson talk about what needs to be done

01:56:10.020 because there are a few brave reporters who call this guy out and say,

01:56:15.440 oh, Mayor Johnson, what are you doing?

01:56:17.880 The body count is up.

01:56:19.420 Another week has gone by, and we have a dozen young people dead,

01:56:24.960 uh five times that wounded what are you doing and he always has such great ideas remember last week 0.98

01:56:35.620 i talked about he's opening up the doors to ymcas at night so instead of going around and stealing a 0.57

01:56:43.280 car and doing donuts in an intersection setting the car on fire driving off and maybe shooting

01:56:49.780 into a crowd they can play air hockey or parcheesi huh maybe a little monopoly for some of the brighter 0.53

01:56:59.380 uh thugs that might want to go into uh the ymca he he puts he puts so much on the youth that are

01:57:13.060 actually perpetrating the crimes he believes in them that if they're just given some board games

01:57:21.340 and and maybe a basketball that they'll just stop thinking about perpetrating any violence

01:57:30.680 or crimes in chicago and he doesn't care if it doesn't work five ten twenty times in a row

01:57:37.740 he will stick to this because the worst thing he could do is set the police out and start rounding

01:57:48.520 up the bad elements and throwing them in jail another wise wise thing that brandon johnson

01:57:56.900 said was we cannot incarcerate our way out of violence and crime really

01:58:05.800 I think that's the best way.

01:58:09.720 You take the violent people and you throw them in a jail.

01:58:15.420 And then if more people are violent, you throw them in jail. 1.00

01:58:19.020 And after a while, even a complete moron will look and go, 1.00

01:58:24.100 huh, maybe I'll go to jail if I commit violence. 1.00

01:58:29.980 But he doesn't see it that way.

01:58:31.620 You cannot incarcerate your way out of violence and crime.

01:58:36.340 So he was asked again what he's doing about the violence.

01:58:41.580 And this was his answer this time, AC6.

01:58:45.280 This is one of the few young people here.

01:58:47.540 The first thing that the pastor spoke about was these teen takeovers.

01:58:51.040 How do we fight back against the narrative that seeks to paint us as thugs

01:58:55.100 and as people who just want to act crazy with no home discipline

01:58:58.940 when in reality, just like some of you all here today,

01:59:01.760 you guys had places to go to.

01:59:03.760 You had YMCAs.

01:59:04.960 You guys had friends who had houses that you can go and have a party at.

01:59:08.660 So, Mayor, how can we make sure, because you've already done it, but how can we make sure that we fight back against the narrative that seeks to make us as young people the villains, when really we are the amplifying voice that seeks to be the unifying generation?

01:59:21.980 Yeah.

01:59:23.360 Many people believe that my position automatically is soft on crime. 1.00

01:59:28.060 And what I find fascinating is that if a black man displays compassion, that somehow he's soft. 0.92

01:59:35.360 Do you understand how jacked up that narrative is? 0.84

01:59:37.660 This is the same society, though, that tells little black boys not to cry.

01:59:42.080 And then when I get them in middle school and they're not talking, we say, how come you're not talking?

01:59:45.840 We send these real horrible mixed signals that if I were to come down with the gauntlet and talk about locking people up and doing all kind of other things, corporal punishment, folks would then call me strong.

01:59:56.560 that has only applied to our community.

01:59:59.100 If the only answer is to criminalize, demonize, and lock them up, we've done that.

02:00:03.780 And so what we could do more of is to have spaces for young people

02:00:08.480 to be able to talk and share about their hopes and aspirations

02:00:11.640 and push adults to respond to those demands.

02:00:15.340 Last week, I believe Alderman held a subject matter hearing

02:00:19.200 where young people could just come down and talk about the trends

02:00:22.600 and the takeovers and how we can resolve.

02:00:24.700 I don't believe we had more than six aldermen in the room at a time.

02:00:28.840 Now, you have all these alders who want to, like, pass ordinances that are not even constitutional.

02:00:33.920 But when it comes to actually listening to the needs of our communities, somehow they're not available for that.

02:00:39.240 You all, we have to do better.

02:00:40.580 You have thousands of children across this city who do exactly what they're supposed to do.

02:00:46.680 And then you get a handful who don't.

02:00:48.440 And then all of them are judged by that handful.

02:00:51.260 No one else gets judged in that mass in any other community that way. 0.59

02:00:56.960 So why are we doing it when it comes to black children?

02:00:59.620 Do you all know there are massive teen takeovers in London?

02:01:02.560 It's out of control.

02:01:03.720 It's out of control. 1.00

02:01:04.900 And don't let one of those soccer team win.

02:01:07.380 So I think we have to create more spaces to tell the truth.

02:01:10.660 And then when young people say this is what we want, we should believe them and actually provide it for them.

02:01:15.960 Oh, my God.

02:01:20.440 Yeah, I could see the young people behaving already.

02:01:27.880 That was nonsensical, what he was saying.

02:01:32.840 He's trying to say that the young people, the ones perpetrating the crimes,

02:01:38.020 the takeovers, the violence, the shootings,

02:01:41.060 are the ones they need to ask,

02:01:44.940 hey, what can we do so you stop doing this?

02:01:47.780 no it's there's something called discipline he says that he's he's called soft on crime

02:01:56.460 because he's not locking people up yeah yeah that's exactly it you are you're not trying to

02:02:04.960 prevent kids from committing crimes that aren't committing them there's you know you could do

02:02:12.400 Maybe do that with preschoolers at this point because I've seen some thugs

02:02:20.120 that are literally 10 years old in Chicago, 12-year-olds up on murder charges.

02:02:27.440 So if you want to go to the preschools and the elementary schools

02:02:32.160 and have those kids, talk to them, bring them to these places and say,

02:02:39.160 hey, violence, you know, there's other things to do,

02:02:43.660 there's other ways you could lead your life without getting into gangs and stuff,

02:02:49.380 then fine.

02:02:51.080 But you're talking about people that are already in it.

02:02:55.140 They are already ganged up.

02:02:57.680 They're already committing pretty, pretty hardcore crimes.

02:03:02.620 And it's not a handful.

02:03:05.360 These takeovers are swarms.

02:03:07.960 hundreds of people are out perpetrating violent crimes and they're uh very effective when it

02:03:17.140 comes to destroying property injuring people and murder there isn't a narrative that is uh 0.98

02:03:26.300 exclusive to the black community he's like why why do the black community why do young black people 0.81

02:03:33.380 have this stigma or they have to say, you know, you need to do something. 0.82

02:03:40.420 What about the white kids that win a soccer game and then they're rioting?

02:03:46.360 Because it's not happening at that level. 0.64

02:03:51.140 When I'm scrolling, when I'm doom scrolling at night

02:03:54.840 and looking at videos of teen takeovers, 0.93

02:03:58.420 uh they're not groups of white kids or asian kids uh they're group of groups of black kids 0.83

02:04:08.580 they're out there doing these uh awful things and no one seems to want to want to actually 0.98

02:04:17.180 talk about it never mind do something about it you can't even talk about it and as i was saying

02:04:23.440 earlier you can do things like uh make these these uh amusement parks and other places uh

02:04:34.540 make it so you can't get in if you're under a certain age everybody no one's allowed in

02:04:40.500 well why if one group of people are the problem why should everyone be treated like a criminal

02:04:51.120 This is what's happening.

02:04:52.100 There are so many water parks during the summer and amusement parks,

02:04:56.640 and they're putting out these policies saying,

02:04:59.140 well, due to violence and destruction of property,

02:05:04.260 we are making it mandatory that you have an adult over 25 years old,

02:05:11.560 and they have to be in charge of every 18 and under person that comes in.

02:05:16.720 And there are so many people that would never cause a problem.

02:05:21.700 They want to have a little adolescent independence,

02:05:26.660 going out with your friends to an amusement park or wherever.

02:05:32.100 And now they can't do that.

02:05:34.340 They would be responsible.

02:05:35.700 They'd be fine.

02:05:36.820 But they can't do that because of what he's calling a handful of people.

02:05:42.740 Well, then don't allow the handful in.

02:05:44.980 How about that?

02:05:46.720 How about the handful isn't allowed in to the amusement park,

02:05:49.980 but everyone else can go in?

02:05:52.200 Because until stuff like that starts happening, this will never end.

02:05:57.260 It'll just get worse and worse because that's what's been happening.

02:06:00.860 There's more animosity, more anger.

02:06:03.840 You're hearing about fatigue, exhaustion.

02:06:09.000 And where does it end?

02:06:11.600 Where does it end?

02:06:12.620 The violence, the fighting, the takeovers.

02:06:16.020 I mean, we've seen beaches over the course of this Fourth of July weekend where you couldn't lay down a blanket, have your family there, go in the water, come back out, eat your lunch.

02:06:29.700 There's a stampede of teens when it's a few bad apples and they're stampeding over your blanket on the beach.

02:06:41.800 Yeah, I don't think you care that it's a few bad apples.

02:06:46.020 but there's uh mayor johnson he wants to talk to the criminals about what to do about their crimes

02:06:54.400 instead of locking them up jail time real consequence that's what needs to be done

02:07:03.980 real consequence because uh nothing none of this coddling that uh mayor johnson is doing will

02:07:14.560 will do anything it's not going to help and uh we we just go through the same garbage every time

02:07:23.140 what do you think about this uh patriot front march that happened in dc the patriot front 0.84

02:07:32.400 they're a white supremacist group is that what i'm hearing and uh other people say they're feds

02:07:40.720 these are feds, they're federal agents, 0.74

02:07:44.480 they're trying to entrap some white supremacists, 0.63

02:07:49.100 so they put them out there.

02:07:50.340 They're also trying to make people on the right look bad,

02:07:54.280 like they're still racists, like the Klan and Nazis and stuff.

02:07:58.880 And I don't know.

02:08:01.360 I don't know what's going on.

02:08:03.500 I don't know if they're actually white supremacists.

02:08:07.720 and i'm not like a conspiracy guy so i kind of lean toward i could see people getting together

02:08:17.380 and say seeing what's going on the great replacement theory you know you heard about

02:08:22.640 that one where uh white people are being replaced by illegal aliens and uh it's for the the democrat

02:08:30.640 votes the democrats want more votes so the less uh right-wing straight white men there are 0.83

02:08:37.760 uh the more votes the democrats get so they're trying to phase out white people and the white

02:08:44.740 people are like yeah we don't like that we don't like that idea i wouldn't see anybody

02:08:49.800 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:08:55.480 the anthony comia show the uh supreme court last week made a couple of decisions um one of which

02:09:04.800 of course was the birthright citizenship um they uh said that donald trump's executive order

02:09:12.540 that said that uh we are no longer going along with this birthright citizenship

02:09:18.820 we can't have people coming here pregnant women uh dropping a kid and all of a sudden the kid's

02:09:26.880 an american citizen the mother has to be there for the kids so she gets to live here or like in 0.69

02:09:32.620 china they just take the kid back now they have a kid with american citizenship and it's the long

02:09:40.320 game they're playing the long game in time they'll be able to vote they get benefits from the united 0.83

02:09:46.040 states all because uh they came here pregnant and uh had a child on american soil this is a just an 0.66

02:09:56.580 awful policy what what good is coming from that we really need to vet immigrants we need to look 0.98

02:10:07.180 at who's coming into this country see if they're beneficial to the country people from the third 1.00

02:10:13.480 world what what are we waiting for the one needle in the haystack the one wonderful person in a 1.00

02:10:21.240 crowd of third world morons and people that uh hate this country but that one person might turn 0.99

02:10:30.640 out to be like nikola tesla it ain't happening it's not worth it it really isn't worth the 0.99

02:10:39.420 destruction that's happening in this country so uh the the supreme court decided the eo was not

02:10:48.760 constitutional because of the 14th amendment uh that has to be changed it really does and i don't

02:10:56.360 know i don't know if uh we have the numbers what do they need a two-thirds majority it's a lot more

02:11:02.620 complicated than just passing a bill to change the the constitution so i don't know i would hope

02:11:10.960 to see it i doubt i'd see it and we continue letting people in to have kids and become citizens

02:11:17.780 but the other thing that was discussed of course was women men in women's sports this has been

02:11:27.220 going on a while and the supreme court decided that the states should have the right to decide

02:11:33.580 if their state wants to have men competing against women because that's what it is i'm not buying into 0.97

02:11:41.280 the dumb game oh there's so many genders there's it's men and women and then there's bisexual then 0.93

02:11:48.100 there's transgender, but then there's also non-binary. 1.00

02:11:56.180 It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. 1.00

02:12:00.520 And every instance you see of a man competing against women, 1.00

02:12:05.160 they just decimate the women. 0.88

02:12:08.020 And it's not just, oh, better luck next time. 1.00

02:12:10.740 It's costing these women scholarships, endorsements,

02:12:16.140 everything that goes with a sports star becoming a big deal and it's so unfair and the fact that 0.98

02:12:23.840 feminists because they're all liberal feminists remember them back in the day now they don't care

02:12:29.740 about women they just toe the liberal line and say well lgbtq we have to support them

02:12:37.280 uh so they just uh decide women don't have any rights as far as competing and getting those 1.00

02:12:46.980 scholarships imagine you work your entire life your parents take you to practice and the money 1.00

02:12:52.820 that's spent on equipment and lessons and training and then some big bruiser who decided he's a girl

02:12:59.260 six months ago gets on the track and blows everyone away and now the girls that have been

02:13:05.400 work in their whole life to maybe go to a good college or um the olympics they're just well

02:13:11.320 sorry sorry a man's a woman too so it's ridiculous but this i found really funny this is nbc news

02:13:20.580 they wanted to report on the story they had to do a disclaimer because the language that was used by

02:13:27.360 the supreme court said some things that they think might be triggering to some of their viewers

02:13:33.300 Listen to this insane tap dance they're trying to do around gender and not triggering the poor people.

02:13:42.960 AC5.

02:13:44.100 Just a quick note here.

02:13:46.000 The terms that we're using here during our reporting, biological male, biological female,

02:13:52.580 the high court put those terms in quotations in their decision and their dissent.

02:13:58.960 But just so you know, we're using those terms from the decision itself.

02:14:03.160 Biological male, biological female.

02:14:06.540 Can you believe that? 1.00

02:14:08.600 Can you believe that was necessary?

02:14:10.760 On NBC News.

02:14:12.620 Hey, look, we're not saying anything crazy like biological male and biological female. 0.68

02:14:19.640 Because we know that's nuts.

02:14:21.660 You know, science, biology, anatomy, gender. 0.97

02:14:26.400 that we'd be crazy to say that now we know the people that watch nbc news are all nuts

02:14:35.360 the last people that are still watching network news are crazy and we know this so we're catering 0.75

02:14:44.680 to insane people so we'd like you to know we're not coming up with those nutty terms like man and

02:14:51.660 woman a disclaimer that you may hear things like biological male and biological female

02:15:02.340 we're at that point of lunacy all right my friends we will see you back here next week
