00:01:04.180 Network.

00:01:05.900 Yes, the Anthony Cumia Show. As

00:01:07.940 promised last week,

00:01:10.020 I believe we did make a

00:01:11.900 solid promise we would be back

00:01:14.180 next Sunday.

00:01:16.060 Here it is next Sunday.

00:01:18.080 And here we are. That's right.

00:01:20.900 My God, these

00:01:22.080 weeks they just uh fly right on by i hope you're uh having a good weekend that's always a big thing

00:01:32.740 with everybody the weekend you work very hard you slave you you work and then you got those couple

00:01:41.820 of days oh don't you just you latch on to them oh i don't want to go to bed i don't want to go to

00:01:50.300 sleep because then it's it's one less weekend day than before you know it it's sunday and you go

00:01:58.740 ah it's over well the anthony cumia show is here for you that's right one more little joy

00:02:09.960 one more little tidbit for your weekend before uh that monday hits you like a holiday ham right in

00:02:19.880 the face anyway uh i was just uh chit-chatting a bit before the actual start of the show about the

00:02:28.840 uh the cheerleader thing the man cheerleader thing and uh this it's one of those stories

00:02:36.700 that just it it it's perfect you know it's got legs people like to talk about it's water cooler

00:02:44.120 stuff and as i said it doesn't really have that much importance over anyone's life

00:02:49.320 you know you go you go to that job i was just talking about monday people talk about it but

00:02:55.800 it's not like oh my god we lost the o'reilly file we lost the the whole account because of

00:03:03.360 the man cheerleader it doesn't really make a difference and it's nothing really new i mean

00:03:12.540 the media has been pumping stuff like this out for quite some time it just gets our attention

00:03:20.300 and i don't even think it's as nefarious as uh the distraction because everyone talks about

00:03:27.720 the distraction now every single thing that happens is apparently a distraction for some

00:03:36.480 bigger thing that we're supposed to be distracted from. You know, like the Epstein thing,

00:03:45.380 Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Iran. Like those are the real things. And then they throw the 0.92

00:03:57.120 distractions out. And I believe there are certain distractions that have been lobbed out to the

00:04:04.320 general population, but everything can't be a distraction. Sometimes things just really happen.

00:04:13.420 And then I like talking to some people when the distraction is kind of important,

00:04:17.320 but not as important as the bigger stories. And depending on who you talk to, it's either the

00:04:23.900 story or the distraction. So sometimes a news story can be both, which is quite puzzling,

00:04:31.920 but it uh it does happen so i don't think this is a distraction i think it's just terrible business

00:04:38.760 on the part of the nfl uh there's people working there you know when i found out that bud light

00:04:45.420 woman not the the fake woman that uh started the whole kerfuffle with bud light but the um

00:04:52.720 the woman that was in charge of that uh campaign that ad campaign uh that she got another job i

00:05:01.020 was just like how does that happen how does someone hire a woman that lost billions of dollars 0.91

00:05:10.040 and destroyed a a one of those products uh that just had been around for so long so popular

00:05:22.660 and you trashed it and then you just go yeah okay i'll get another job

00:05:28.460 it's it's astounding to me but uh yeah this is not really a big deal it's just one of those

00:05:38.320 things i uh i do feel bad for the fathers of the of the cheerleader guys you know and maybe

00:05:48.480 everything's great maybe the parents of the cheerleader guys are just so open and uh they

00:05:58.920 love their kid regardless or irregardless if he's a fanok irregardless uh they still love him and

00:06:08.340 and support him and that would be wonderful but you know when i was growing up in my day

00:06:15.020 A dad kind of wanted a son to be a reflection of himself, do better than he did.

00:06:22.800 And sports was a big thing.

00:06:25.460 Sports was a big thing for a father and son.

00:06:31.160 It's kind of what you did.

00:06:32.660 What else are you going to do?

00:06:34.300 Talk?

00:06:35.300 Talk about sensitive issues?

00:06:37.700 No, you go outside.

00:06:38.820 You throw the ball around.

00:06:39.820 you're on some kind of extracurricular activity at school baseball football basketball whatever

00:06:49.140 and you know dad's interested how do you do today if he went to the games he's very excited and

00:06:56.180 proud when you do something good so it's always been part of that father and son dynamic to have

00:07:03.800 some type of a sport thing and for that son to be just a little better than dad you know

00:07:10.420 and um i just think about you know the the cheerleader guy hi dad i just signed with the

00:07:22.720 um minnesota vikings what son i knew it was just a phase i was telling your mother

00:07:31.740 just the other day.

00:07:33.400 I knew it was just a phase.

00:07:36.720 The Vikings.

00:07:38.740 I'm going to go over to Bill's house next door.

00:07:41.000 I'm going to tell, because his son,

00:07:42.560 he's crowing about his son.

00:07:43.940 He's only second string quarterback.

00:07:47.100 So, what's your position?

00:07:51.840 Sit down, Dad.

00:07:55.400 I'm a cheerleader.

00:07:59.640 Gotta be tough.

00:08:01.740 You know, we all hear how it's tough for somebody to come out to their parents.

00:08:06.340 Some of them are very, like I said, very liberal, open, honest, hey, whatever.

00:08:13.600 But, you know, dad's sitting in the lazy boy in the middle of the living room,

00:08:22.540 watching the ball game, and his son's sitting on a lazy boy in his room.

00:08:28.520 it just uh it's tragic in some in some circumstances i don't want to be too you know

00:08:38.540 i don't want to be too uh i don't know critical i don't want to make it sound like dads uh

00:08:46.800 are all like that my dad my old man let me tell you a story about my old man

00:08:54.780 i don't think he cared much about sports but he did want me to be like um a man you know i think

00:09:03.700 my dad would have been gravely disappointed if myself or my brother joe had been um gay

00:09:12.300 you know he'd hang out with me when he went out to california he went out there to become a cowboy 0.68

00:09:18.560 like i'm leaving new york i'm going to california because i just want to be a cowboy not uh not ymca

00:09:28.480 or in the navy village people cowboy like a real one and then when i went out to live with him for

00:09:36.180 a few years during my formative teen years uh he got me a horse he got me uh you know saddle spurs

00:09:45.420 If I hadn't had a horse, it would have been very gay. 0.99

00:09:50.160 I think if you just walk around with a cowboy hat, boots, spurs, chaps, without the horse, 1.00

00:09:57.440 boy, that horse really makes a big difference when you're wearing cowboy attire.

00:10:04.320 But I did indeed have the horse.

00:10:06.860 so uh my dad was very happy that uh i was getting girls to um go out on horseback rides with me

00:10:16.740 very excited even though they were you know if anyone knows a few of the stories i've told in

00:10:22.120 the past uh during my radio careers uh there was a girl named dream weaver and i took her out on

00:10:27.980 the horse and believe me when the horse saw her he went really i have to put her on my back

00:10:34.080 but she was a girl so dad was uh dad was pleased as punch about that whole thing

00:10:40.420 but um yeah it it's just one of those father-son things you you want your kid to be that reflection

00:10:50.140 of you and you know if you're not a gay guy a gay son i would imagine i have no idea

00:10:58.600 for the most part would probably be something very tough to uh have to muddle through as as a dad so

00:11:08.020 um i'm trying to think what would be worse for a father okay you got your your your guy he's the 0.65

00:11:18.100 dad and he's got friends and they're all knock around blue collar guys let's say right they're

00:11:25.840 they're watching the game is so what's worse uh you have a daughter on only fans

00:11:34.940 and your buddies know about it and they could see like your your daughter uh well you know

00:11:44.820 all know what only fans i don't have to get graphic or you're sitting around watching the

00:11:51.600 vikings and you got a point go that's my boy there's my boy now i would think if you have

00:12:00.440 to make this choice you've done a terrible job of parenting but but i don't have kids so i'm just

00:12:08.360 you know i don't have much to go on here but i would assume if your son is a cheerleader

00:12:15.040 and your daughter's on OnlyFans,

00:12:18.460 maybe you didn't spend enough time chit-chatting with them

00:12:23.240 at the dinner table.

00:12:25.120 I'm not sure.

00:12:26.800 Anyway, we are off and running with the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:12:31.100 Plenty more.

00:12:32.320 Your calls, 800-848-9222.

00:12:37.160 And we're back in moments.

00:12:39.340 Don't go anywhere.

00:12:40.840 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:12:42.920 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:47.400 It's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:12:49.700 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:53.600 It is. The guy's right.

00:12:55.540 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:12:58.140 That's me.

00:13:00.060 Of course, every week,

00:13:02.480 well, we toil.

00:13:04.100 We do toil to try to find

00:13:06.420 somebody who has done something,

00:13:08.220 said something 0.95

00:13:09.000 that is just so completely ridiculous 1.00

00:13:12.140 And I've noticed, and as I'm sure you have noticed out there, that a lot of the same people keep popping up because they're so good at being stupid, ridiculous, asinine, that I'm very hard-pressed to find a new group of people. 1.00

00:13:36.560 They're the professionals, is what it is. 0.99

00:13:38.980 Sometimes I'll let a rookie in.

00:13:40.820 But a lot of times, you know, you want the pros to handle it.

00:13:43.560 When it comes to Clown of the Week, I mean, this woman is the greatest.

00:13:50.960 Here she is, Clown of the Week. 0.72

00:13:53.400 The Anthony Cumia Show presents the Clown of the Week. 0.68

00:13:59.680 Yes, once we called her an American, just like us.

00:14:06.560 She lived in America.

00:14:09.900 She has since been chased away to the Emerald Isle.

00:14:14.800 Yes, the land of lucky charms.

00:14:20.100 And, you know, it's Rosie O'Donnell. 0.99

00:14:24.120 She pops up every so often. 0.92

00:14:25.500 I see her more talking her nonsense from Ireland than we ever did here in the United States. 0.55

00:14:33.320 Since, you know, years and years ago when she had her her fake talk show. 1.00

00:14:38.420 But she just can't stop crapping all over the U.S. of A.

00:14:43.480 from a few thousand miles away in Ireland where, you know, I've seen some news out of Ireland. 0.97

00:14:51.500 It's they have their own problems with a lot of this unvetted immigration, illegal immigration. 0.98

00:14:59.300 a lot of people that cannot assimilate to the culture and you know you talk Ireland you are

00:15:05.580 talking a culture I mean that is they are very very passionate about who they are as people

00:15:13.480 and you know for Rosie to go over there yeah it must be nice she's Irish they're Irish it's sort

00:15:24.800 of a not as diverse, I'm sure, where she is now, but everything she was bitching about

00:15:34.760 here in America was because people like Trump and MAGA and Republicans and conservatives 0.86

00:15:41.600 were against flooding this country with people that had no business coming to this country

00:15:52.740 and and changing it ruining it they don't want to be americans so um here's rosie this one she's

00:16:00.980 talking about the trump dc crime crackdown a big story this past week and uh let's see rosie's take

00:16:11.580 on it i left because i read project 2025 and i knew what the trump administration was planning

00:16:18.500 to do and now they're doing it and it's getting very scary he's um instituted martial law

00:16:25.540 in washington dc to crack down on homeless people being homeless is not a crime in the united states

00:16:34.340 and he's doing all this to distract us from the epstein files and from the fact that he was there 0.99

00:16:39.140 And from the fact that he is a sexual abuser. That's the truth. And, you know, how many billionaires do you know have modeling agencies and run beauty pageants and walk in on the young girls naked and brag about it on Howard Stern? 0.99

00:16:59.960 Warren Buffett doesn't do that. No, he does not.

00:17:03.040 so um you know this man is a disgrace to all of humanity 0.66

00:17:10.920 and it's very scary what he's able to get away with so i hope america wakes up pretty soon 0.96

00:17:18.960 well you ran away so who cares who cares what you think i hope america wakes up i'm very scared

00:17:27.900 uh yeah first of all yeah he said things on the howard stern show you don't think trump

00:17:35.960 is to this day an entertainer and especially back before he was oh president of the united states

00:17:44.020 he was absolutely an entertainer uh part of that was going on talk shows especially if you're on

00:17:51.320 howard stern you're going to be outrageous that's for sure so uh yeah he said plenty of outrageous

00:17:58.980 things can you take him at gospel if you're going to take everything that was said on the howard

00:18:05.540 stern show as the god's honest truth and gospel and this is the way it is then rosie you indeed

00:18:13.740 are a big pumpkin head i believe howard said many times that rosie o'donnell has a giant

00:18:22.320 pumpkin head so if everything trump said on there and what have you if that's all true

00:18:28.600 then we must we must go with the fact that rosie o'donnell's head is indeed a giant giant pumpkin

00:18:37.860 uh yeah it isn't illegal to be homeless in america there are laws against setting up camps

00:18:47.520 there are safety protocols where you know a lot of these homeless people the the people

00:18:54.880 they're endangering the most are themselves if you gave half a crap about them you'd want

00:19:01.540 something done but rosie doesn't care it's whatever trump is doing first of all no one

00:19:07.400 was doing anything about trying to deal with the homeless problem, the crime problem.

00:19:13.420 And now you go, hey, Trump's trying to get homeless off the streets.

00:19:21.120 They're working with high voltage lines in light poles to try to get electricity in their

00:19:27.600 cardboard box. 0.72

00:19:30.180 Kind of dangerous, but that's fine with Rosie because they should be allowed to just do 1.00

00:19:36.660 whatever they want. Crime is a horrid problem amongst the homeless, whether they're perpetrators

00:19:43.800 or victims. And somehow Rosie sees it as a bad thing that Trump has decided because every one

00:19:53.600 of these cities is Democrat run and they've done absolutely nothing to curtail the homelessness or

00:20:01.560 crime so he looks around and i think trump works in this fashion he's he's driving around in the

00:20:09.020 beast in dc or he sees something on tv or looks out you know he was on the roof of the white house 0.99

00:20:14.720 the other day maybe you could see a little further and he goes what a bunch of crap he's just looking 0.97

00:20:20.240 at all the garbage and then he gets this idea like let's clean this up let's do something 0.97

00:20:27.860 So he gets law enforcement together and other agencies and says, get rid of the homeless and let's really start cracking down on the crime, the violent crime especially that's going on in our nation's capital.

00:20:45.180 And because it's D.C., District of Columbia, the capital, he does have a legal precedent to take over, if you want to call it that.

00:20:57.540 That's what the libs like calling it.

00:21:00.280 But truth be told, he has every right to do that.

00:21:04.000 And it's helping.

00:21:06.920 You hear the police and even the citizens.

00:21:10.040 The citizens of D.C., a lot of them people of color.

00:21:15.180 And they are disgusted with the way D.C.'s been handled. 1.00

00:21:19.880 It's their family and friends that are getting killed and assaulted by the horrid element in D.C.

00:21:32.520 So a lot of them are really for this. 0.98

00:21:35.200 um what you see in these protests that have been going on again are these old white boomers 0.79

00:21:43.060 and these liberal uh girls with the hair and the piercings and uh geez and um you know it it it 1.00

00:21:55.020 finally finally someone wants to do something about it and people like rosie have to bitch 1.00

00:22:02.860 that this is a problem, that it's bad for the homeless 0.99

00:22:07.440 to not live in a box?

00:22:10.620 I mean, these people are given the opportunity

00:22:12.500 to go to shelters and other places

00:22:15.160 that they would be a lot better off. 0.99

00:22:18.260 But truth be told, they are insane. 1.00

00:22:21.100 They are mental patients that are not in a place 1.00

00:22:26.860 that mental patients should be. 0.87

00:22:29.280 they're twisting 240 volt wires together in a cardboard box hoping to get the radio to work

00:22:37.300 so uh trump tries to do something anything something that no one else was doing and rosie

00:22:46.860 from ireland because she ran away has an issue with it and she's not the only one we have a few

00:22:56.900 others that come up

00:22:58.660 a little later in the show. 0.99

00:23:00.600 More celebrity jackasses. 0.97

00:23:03.060 Alright, back in a flash. 0.99

00:23:05.040 Don't go anywhere. And we will take your calls

00:23:18.960 Network.

00:23:20.560 The Anthony Cumia Show. Glad you could

00:23:22.760 join us on this wonderful Sunday

00:23:24.800 evening.

00:23:26.900 Um, New York, I mean, obviously, I lived there. I worked there. I feel like I have some vested interest in what happens there. But the more I see, the more blackpilled I get, I just, I don't have much hope for New York City.

00:23:53.300 The state is screwed in itself because of your wonderful Governor Hochul, but the city, I mean, what a double whammy.

00:24:03.600 Hochul is the governor, and then you're really kind of gearing up to have Mamdani as your mayor. 0.56

00:24:11.080 And not even like, I got to got to make a decision between two evils, the lesser of two evil.

00:24:20.120 new yorkers are excited they're chomping to get out there to the polls and vote for a communist 0.68

00:24:30.600 a communist muslim guy who is unapologetic about everything he stands for and says 0.65

00:24:40.400 like it's going to be great

00:24:42.480 for New York City

00:24:44.360 and

00:24:46.140 it just

00:24:48.420 it doesn't

00:24:50.600 work that way especially

00:24:52.480 in a big

00:24:53.460 city like New York the biggest

00:24:56.260 this is you know the pinnacle

00:24:58.260 of the free world

00:25:00.080 New York City Wall Street's

00:25:02.520 down there it is the

00:25:04.360 the cauldron

00:25:06.020 of capitalism

00:25:07.940 and you want to mayor

00:25:10.280 in there that everything that happens in New York, he has this answer for that is completely

00:25:20.140 the opposite of what anyone with any sense would do.

00:25:27.260 Now, his idea of defunding the police, that was his.

00:25:32.680 I don't care what he says now.

00:25:34.940 I support law enforcement. 0.99

00:25:36.720 Liar. 0.80

00:25:37.440 this is a guy trying to get elected and he's saying whatever he needs to to cover up for 0.99

00:25:44.260 things that he had said in the past and he is absolutely a defund the police and that's even

00:25:52.940 putting it lightly he just wants to get rid of the cops his idea is uh social workers and programs

00:26:01.960 You know, everyone's got this amazing unicorn view of people and the city.

00:26:10.540 Everyone is worthwhile.

00:26:13.520 Everyone's worth saving.

00:26:16.040 Everyone has that divine spark in them.

00:26:19.320 And there's goodness deep down.

00:26:21.300 And no, there isn't.

00:26:24.240 There are people that are nothing but evil.

00:26:28.180 terrible people that wish to do nothing but harm other people

00:26:33.580 and do whatever they need to do to get by another day

00:26:40.120 and it doesn't matter what it means for the people

00:26:46.360 the good people around them

00:26:48.140 and Mamdani is another one of these guys that believes this

00:26:53.820 and thinks that some liberal social program can curtail crime

00:27:03.220 and stop some of the unbelievable evil going on in New York City.

00:27:11.200 And it's been proven so many times in the past.

00:27:15.360 I bring up Rudy Giuliani many times. 0.99

00:27:19.020 he was called a hard ass 0.99

00:27:21.780 a lot of times. 1.00

00:27:23.580 Before 9-11, the guy was despised.

00:27:27.080 9-12,

00:27:28.600 he became America's mayor

00:27:30.060 and everyone loved him.

00:27:32.480 9-10,

00:27:33.900 2001,

00:27:35.140 everyone hated this guy.

00:27:37.820 Couldn't stand him.

00:27:39.640 Because he was effective.

00:27:42.920 He wasn't

00:27:43.660 nurse mating 0.97

00:27:45.800 these criminals.

00:27:47.240 he made sure things were taken care of there were programs that the police could utilize

00:27:55.240 resources that were getting evil people off the streets and then we went through this phase of

00:28:04.540 just de blasio and now adams same thing and i'll call it like i see it with adams i think adams

00:28:13.340 has been put in a position where he is so compromised

00:28:16.820 that he has to kind of go along with the MAGA right-wing agenda

00:28:22.440 because I think they have him, his back against the wall.

00:28:27.220 I mean, they could pull out indictments like a magician on this guy.

00:28:32.360 And they're like, you do what we want you to do,

00:28:34.460 and we'll chill out on your indictments, your corruption indictments.

00:28:39.940 and i think he has been for the most part but there's one thing even eric adams won't do

00:28:47.100 and that's recognize the crime problem in the city the violent crime problem who's responsible

00:28:55.060 for it and address that issue there is a terrible issue uh with with uh illegitimacy 0.78

00:29:04.340 in the black community no dads the moms are are they're they're worse than the kids a lot of times

00:29:13.440 and they're supposed to be raising responsible respectful uh adults that will contribute to 0.99

00:29:21.140 the community it isn't happening and we could sit here all night long and go over the whys of it

00:29:28.160 well why is it that way is it this that the other thing is it 200 years ago is it last week

00:29:34.960 is it systemic racism is it whatever it is it is so to not even address it seems to be a huge issue

00:29:46.740 and i don't think adams as mayor will even address it like that and one of the the reasons besides

00:29:56.760 race you know he's the mayor and he's got an out he's got an out it's called gun violence

00:30:05.020 all these guys and girls you know the the men and women um that have been put in charge of

00:30:13.240 these liberal cities these blue cities uh it's it's abominable and anytime there's a shooting

00:30:21.780 and they they start pulling out the gun crime oh gun violence took more lives gun crime if we only

00:30:32.360 had sensible reasonable gun control everyone wants gun control we've did we did a poll

00:30:41.320 it's all nonsense

00:30:43.800 it's all lies 1.00

00:30:45.080 it's all garbage 1.00

00:30:47.020 there is a problem 1.00

00:30:50.120 there is a problem

00:30:52.340 and it needs to at least be addressed

00:30:56.780 if Eric Adams stood up in front of that podium

00:31:00.100 and rambled on

00:31:02.620 with old marble mouth

00:31:04.460 if he rambled on about some of the real issues

00:31:08.480 in New York City

00:31:10.480 as to what's going on, why there's so much violent crime.

00:31:17.300 Yeah, maybe.

00:31:18.800 Maybe people would look and go, ooh, that guy looks like a guy that seems serious.

00:31:22.720 He seems serious about wanting to do something about this.

00:31:26.800 Well, there was a shooting, a mass shooting.

00:31:30.720 They love pulling that out.

00:31:33.400 You know, everyone has this concept, this image in their head.

00:31:37.680 When they hear mass shooting, they just think Columbine.

00:31:41.820 They think it's the trench coat mafia, two white kids just gunning up a school or whatever.

00:31:47.760 That is how the media and politicians in Hollywood have pushed this mass shooting imagery that we get.

00:32:00.380 truth be told mass shootings the vast vast majority of mass shootings are gang related

00:32:08.040 these are gangs in inner cities democrat run low uh uh low policing low uh uh criminal

00:32:21.140 responsibility they don't they don't do anything they just let it happen

00:32:26.640 and then they go oh mass shooting and then at the end of the year when they want to put the

00:32:33.360 stats out so they could start uh pushing their gun control stuff they go do you know there were

00:32:40.140 10 000 mass shootings last year and everyone thinks there's 10 000 little innocent kids

00:32:50.320 being killed in a school and truth be told there are innocent kids being killed

00:32:55.340 and grandmas and grandpas and teachers,

00:32:59.200 but they're all on the streets

00:33:01.280 during some discombobulated drive-by gone bad.

00:33:10.080 So we had this mass shooting, a gang shooting,

00:33:13.800 in the city, Crown Heights, New York City,

00:33:17.840 at a club, Taste of the City Lounge.

00:33:21.440 Funny, I've never been there.

00:33:23.400 Sounds like such a good place.

00:33:24.700 and boy how ironic taste of the city yeah tastes just like the city doesn't it

00:33:31.400 so uh there was a shooting and uh mayor adams got up there and and talked about gun violence

00:33:39.940 more lies i think they were two or three killed two maybe and 11 shot you know look i go to the

00:33:51.820 range every so on i don't know i hope to hell the day never comes where i would have to use

00:34:00.540 deadly physical force against somebody else because my life was being threatened

00:34:05.400 i have firearms everybody that knows me knows i'm a strong advocate of the second amendment

00:34:12.740 i like going target shooting and uh you should remain proficient don't ever just

00:34:20.960 let your your skills go away so when i see 11 injured and two killed um i'm thinking people

00:34:30.980 aren't really that proficient at their shooting uh but that's really beside the point isn't it

00:34:37.920 the real point here is it was a couple of guys that had been in a dispute with people at the

00:34:44.660 club decided to pull out guns and just fire into the crowd is that a gun issue mayor adams is that

00:34:54.580 a gun issue uh governor hochel mem danny does that sound like a gun issue because they were using the

00:35:03.980 best tool available to somebody to perpetrate harm against another person well that sounds

00:35:12.120 terrible. Why would we need a tool like that? We do. Because like I said earlier, there are plenty

00:35:17.980 of very evil people. Not everyone is this saint in hiding. There are evil, evil people. And as a

00:35:26.400 citizen, of course, of America, thank God, we have the right to protect ourselves with

00:35:33.420 the greatest tool ever made to protect yourself with, a firearm, the great equalizer, 0.98

00:35:40.200 A 79-year-old grandma has just as much power as a jacked 6'4 muscle-bound thug because she has a firearm, the great equalizer. 0.69

00:35:55.740 It should never, ever be taken away from Americans to be able to defend themselves with the best tool available. 0.78

00:36:04.340 But, you know, you could take a hammer, greatest tool ever for driving nails, if you thunk it into someone's head.

00:36:14.740 That's not a hammer problem.

00:36:17.100 That's a guy hitting someone over the head with a hammer problem.

00:36:21.920 So when you get a couple of guys going into the club and opening fire on the crowd because they got in a little dispute earlier.

00:36:31.520 Yeah. I don't see that as a gun problem. And I don't think anyone should see that as a gun problem. And I don't see how legislating against legal law abiding citizens infringing on their God given right to bear arms is justified at all.

00:36:57.220 In a situation where gang members are offing each other because of beefs, and now I can't defend myself with the best tool available?

00:37:11.400 Grandma can't defend herself?

00:37:14.940 You know, you get to a certain age. 0.93

00:37:17.060 I got to tell you, many years ago, as a young man, you think you're like, yeah, I'll pop him in the head. 0.99

00:37:22.880 Not shoot, but I'll punch someone. 0.96

00:37:26.200 If someone squares off to fight, yeah, I'll give it a go. 1.00

00:37:29.300 I might get my ass kicked, but I might win. 0.99

00:37:31.960 Whatever it is. 1.00

00:37:35.260 You get a few rotations around the sun under your belt,

00:37:39.020 and that option isn't available to you anymore.

00:37:42.380 So you should just be a victim?

00:37:45.440 Now you've just relegated yourself to a pile of victims

00:37:50.420 because you're not physically able to duke it out with somebody 40 years your junior.

00:37:59.160 Does that sound fair at all?

00:38:03.160 Because a couple of guys go into a club and shoot it up for a beef

00:38:07.320 because they were dissed in the club, have a problem with some people,

00:38:12.400 and decide to just shoot anyone in front of them?

00:38:15.480 because of that I have to learn how to knife fight well I got I got to somehow uh uh be like

00:38:24.860 riff in West Side Story I have to know how to wave a knife now because I'm not allowed to carry a gun 0.98

00:38:30.880 my granny she's got to learn how to uh put a bandana in her mouth have the other guy put the 0.99

00:38:39.300 other end of the bandana in his mouth hold it there while they while they try to stick each

00:38:43.800 other with a blade is that uh is that how how things go well i don't think so but that's what

00:38:55.700 they do they try to use these situations instead of concentrating on the actual problem let the

00:39:05.220 police do their job and i don't even know uh you know this is another tangent but i don't even know 1.00

00:39:14.240 if the mypd is cut out to do their job anymore it's been so riddled with dei and diversity

00:39:23.600 that i think if they were given every latitude and resource to do their job like the old school

00:39:32.100 cops used to be able to do stop and frisk you tune someone up if they're out of line

00:39:38.500 you could smack someone in the face an attention getter i don't think they have that in them 0.98

00:39:47.060 anymore i see a lot of rotund latinas i see a lot of uh beta soy boys i don't see 0.94

00:40:00.880 cops i don't see cops that you you go thank god when they show up if you're in trouble oh thank 0.85

00:40:12.000 god officer i look at you go is that the cop she was just working in the food truck i swear i just

00:40:21.680 saw her in a food truck three minutes ago so i don't even know if it's even the the rules of 0.98

00:40:30.760 engagement that the cops adhere to these days give nypd every latitude stop and frisk his back

00:40:40.060 smacking a guy in the face dropping a gang member off in a a rival gang member's neighborhood and

00:40:48.340 yeah have a nice trip home you know the wood shampoo with the old uh uh nightstick over the

00:40:57.180 head i don't think you could bring those back and have an nypd that could utilize them i just don't

00:41:06.240 think they have it in them it might be too far diversity equity and inclusion might have just

00:41:15.640 gone a little too far and contaminated uh the nypd to the point where they wouldn't know what

00:41:21.700 to do with that type of freedom as police officers it's not the old days man the old

00:41:30.740 cops on the beat with the leather jackets stirring it up keeping everyone okay how you doing oh

00:41:39.600 flannery i am doing fine today don't you know your kids move along there all right or you know

00:41:49.740 something else but kind of what i have the imagery in my mind all right people i promise

00:41:56.900 we'll take your calls i swear in moments be right back it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple

00:43:00.960 I'm so good.

00:43:02.480 I actually finally talked to you, man.

00:43:03.920 I only hear you usually on the old Opie and Anthony clips with Patrice.

00:43:08.460 Back in the old days, yes.

00:43:11.180 Just like you, man. 0.70

00:43:12.260 i know you're white patrice you know i'm over here known as a mexican patrice

00:43:15.900 and and man i just want to let you know man you know i'm an illegal man but i agree with a lot

00:43:22.340 of what you say you're illegal yeah i am man but they brought me when i was two months you know

00:43:28.960 so your parents your parents came up from mexico and you were two months old at the time what they

00:43:37.180 Wow, they brought you across the border at two months.

00:43:40.440 I actually went under the border.

00:43:42.620 They dug a hole.

00:43:44.220 Oh, man.

00:43:45.200 And how are your parents now?

00:43:47.040 Are they alive still?

00:43:49.140 Yeah, they're alive.

00:43:50.000 And actually, they're already, they got their working permits.

00:43:53.460 They're good, their residence. 0.99

00:43:55.080 I was just, you know, out here living like an American and drinking and driving.

00:43:59.220 I got a DUI, so I couldn't really go through the whole Obamacare and all that, you know.

00:44:03.960 But I'm living good still, man.

00:44:06.000 And, oh, yeah, I do want to let you know we do pay taxes, though, man.

00:44:09.600 We, you know, we work with the fake social.

00:44:12.500 And sorry I'm whispering, but.

00:44:14.580 No, no.

00:44:15.160 Well, I would whisper, too.

00:44:17.040 Ice is everywhere.

00:44:19.380 How do you pay taxes if you don't have a Social Security number?

00:44:24.220 Well, what I'm listening to is they take out money.

00:44:27.160 You know, we get the fake social.

00:44:28.780 And they take everything like a normal American.

00:44:32.140 They take a whole bunch of money from our pay weekly.

00:44:36.000 The only difference with us is we can participate in the benefits regular Americans can, of course, such as out-of-work pay.

00:44:47.320 Unemployment and retirement.

00:44:51.540 Yes, sir.

00:44:52.060 We actually contribute, but we can't access it, if you know what I'm saying.

00:44:56.020 So we actually are good for the regular Americans, don't you think?

00:44:59.100 why would you this might sound odd for me to ask this question but why would you get a fake social

00:45:06.420 so you could pay taxes why not just not pay taxes you're illegal anyway well because you know we do

00:45:13.040 get a lot of benefits too you know we do get medicare we do go get together we do get some

00:45:18.380 benefits um but um it's just you get better jobs you get treated better okay um and people don't

00:45:26.380 No, it's not like I walk around.

00:45:28.480 Man, I live just like anybody else. 1.00

00:45:32.480 I talk shit. 1.00

00:45:33.180 I mean, I talk smack if they disrespect me. 1.00

00:45:36.720 People don't know who I am and what I am.

00:45:39.380 Right, right.

00:45:40.160 Or whatever.

00:45:41.200 Do you just walk around like your face was shown on America's Most Wanted last night?

00:45:47.000 Is that what it's like these days?

00:45:48.180 Do you just go around like, is it constantly on your mind that ICE is going to grab you and throw you in a van?

00:45:54.660 No, honestly, no, not so much.

00:45:57.460 Not so much in Seattle, I would guess, too.

00:45:59.520 You're in a pretty safe spot, dude.

00:46:02.400 Was that calculated?

00:46:04.280 Like, I'm going to go to Seattle and not maybe go to L.A. or in Texas.

00:46:09.000 You're right.

00:46:09.520 You're absolutely right.

00:46:10.700 But you know what?

00:46:12.000 They're over here, too, actually, man. 0.99

00:46:13.860 Those suckers are over here. 0.95

00:46:15.900 Yeah, no, they're over here, too. 0.93

00:46:17.720 So they do.

00:46:18.480 It does cross my mind, but I can't live scared.

00:46:21.640 You know, I can't live scared.

00:46:22.480 you know i can't have it something happens ruben let me ask you this too has it kept you um have

00:46:40.080 thinking about maybe doing something a little nefarious yeah yeah it actually does it really

00:46:45.780 does and however um until i was 18 i was under the assumption oh i'm i'm i'm under 18 so they

00:50:22.100 You're going to come right back here, baby.

00:50:24.860 Exactly.

00:50:25.380 Exactly.

00:50:27.780 My man, I'm glad your ratings are going off.

00:50:30.420 I'm going to say something.

00:50:31.520 I got other stuff to touch on quickly,

00:50:33.020 but I got to say something that's going to drive your ratings into the next

00:50:36.920 galaxy.

00:50:37.900 And the Hubble telescope is going to pick it up because nobody will just.

00:50:45.540 Oh, connection.

00:50:47.960 Hello, Steve.

00:50:49.300 I call him.

00:50:49.980 I call him Big Bird, the Tower of Jelly. 1.00

00:50:52.720 and he's always knocking Italian-Americans.

00:50:56.280 And if you've seen what went on in Staten Island with Scott Lobato,

00:51:01.080 the Italian-Americans, to me, I grew up with them,

00:51:03.120 are the toughest people on the planet. 1.00

00:51:04.120 Now, who are you talking about, Big Bird?

00:51:06.760 Well, what he's doing, Big Bird has a show 0.95

00:51:09.240 and he's always knocking Italian-Americans.

00:51:10.940 Oh, Howard.

00:51:12.780 No, not Howard.

00:51:13.700 No, no, no, he's another guy.

00:51:14.680 You want me to say his name?

00:51:15.880 Yeah.

00:51:17.160 All right, Big Bird, the towel of jelly, Jesse Kelly. 1.00

00:51:20.100 He's on another station, always attacking, freaking Italians. 1.00

00:51:24.340 Yeah, he's a clown. 1.00

00:51:25.840 He's a big joker. 0.99

00:51:27.200 I just want to tell the people why he's doing it,

00:51:29.400 why he's doing it because he's a phony conservative,

00:51:32.120 and he wants to show that he's balanced, so he has to go after somebody.

00:51:37.280 And Italian-Americans don't get upset.

00:51:39.560 They don't really fly off their hands if you talk about them,

00:51:43.900 and he knows he can get away with it.

00:51:45.720 He's calling them all kinds of names.

00:51:47.180 He said this week, I don't even really listen.

00:51:49.160 i catch him yeah you see me i gotta tell you i gotta be honest steve i i don't really care about

00:51:54.600 this you got topic two you wanted to talk about i just don't care about some other guy all right

00:52:01.000 here's another one i'm gonna go through the whole thing quickly uh people should know that ireland

00:52:05.600 is being invaded is being invaded badly and uh ireland is ireland's only a few million people

00:52:11.580 there it could be totally overwhelmed within a matter yeah yeah these small nations it is a shame

00:52:17.620 because, you know, we think of America, the United States.

00:52:20.760 We've got 350 million people here or so.

00:52:25.440 And, you know, to dilute that many people, it takes a lot.

00:52:30.180 But a small island nation like Ireland, in no time,

00:52:33.800 you have completely changed the complexion, quite literally speaking, of that island.

00:52:40.320 Right. And plus, you guys, old people can't walk out of the houses at night 1.00

00:52:44.520 because they're afraid of being attacked, and they are being attacked.

00:52:46.800 That's outrageous. And I know a lot of Americans will help Ireland.

00:52:51.380 That's for sure. They should know that.

00:52:53.040 But the thing is also that caller before, listen, 0.68

00:52:55.820 these illegals are filing three, four, five tax returns. 0.59

00:53:00.980 They're using phony tax. 1.00

00:53:02.420 I knew you guys weren't going to like that call.

00:53:05.480 So they're filing phony tax forms.

00:53:08.880 Right.

00:53:10.900 Phony social security numbers and they get tax ID numbers too they use.

00:53:14.640 And they get all the big deductions and they get back checks for $5,000, $10,000, $15,000.

00:53:19.620 Some of them put down they have 10 kids.

00:53:21.940 Obviously, when Biden was the president, nobody was checking that out.

00:53:25.100 And they were getting away with that.

00:53:26.640 They're ripping off our system.

00:53:28.540 They're milking it dry.

00:53:30.420 And obviously, and plus, a lot of people are getting confused with this Social Security thing, no taxes.

00:53:36.280 From what I've seen of it with this new big, beautiful bill, Trump's got all these funny names.

00:53:41.400 Who's his writer?

00:53:42.540 The thing is, it's going to be, this is what I see. 0.99

00:53:45.340 If you're 65 years old and you're a single filer,

00:53:49.180 you're going to get a $6,000 deduction on top of other deductions that you get on your taxes.

00:53:54.920 So it'll lower your taxes and you'll pay less.

00:53:57.640 That's what's going to happen.

00:53:58.880 Nothing gets ratings like tax talks, Steve.

00:54:02.200 No, I might.

00:54:03.100 I just want to let people know.

00:54:03.920 There's a lot of people in the audience.

00:54:04.680 You said you were going to get my ratings through the roof,

00:54:06.820 and now you're talking tax deductions.

00:54:09.280 We're going to get them through the roof.

00:54:10.760 The H&R blockers.

00:54:12.080 something yeah no no listen people love this kind of stuff and also this is what also got me banned

00:54:19.420 from sports radio you know in america a kid has to be 17 years old to be signed to a baseball

00:54:26.320 contract in the minor leagues but in the other countries from latin america and the caribbean

00:54:31.180 they could sign them at 16 years old those kids have a big advantage being signed at 16 years old

00:54:37.020 and being in the yankee farm system that an american kid has got to go to school he's got to

00:54:41.100 do all you know his work he's got to get a lightning happening here i hope it doesn't hit

00:54:45.100 the phone line it just oh man yep a bolt of lightning just hit the phone line and we lost

00:54:51.680 steve i apologize steve you know call back is all i can uh tell steve

00:54:58.180 anyway uh sticking with new york a little bit governor hochel and this illegal alien thing

00:55:07.820 uh she this is this is well it's believable i was going to say unbelievable where's the story here

00:55:16.360 i got it right here uh i was going to say unbelievable but totally believable because

00:55:21.900 it's a democrat and it's uh hokul and it involves illegals she uh you know governors have the the

00:55:32.620 I guess 1.00

00:55:34.480 not a right

00:55:36.240 whatever it is

00:55:37.880 they can grant clemency

00:55:39.680 they can take people

00:55:42.620 that are in prison

00:55:44.480 criminals and get them out of prison

00:55:46.900 they can give them clemency

00:55:48.340 they can

00:55:48.920 put them back out on the streets

00:55:52.820 and in the 1.00

00:55:54.800 case of illegal aliens

00:55:57.040 you can 1.00

00:55:59.420 make it

00:56:01.200 so they can't be deported for crimes they've committed crimes first of all they're here

00:56:07.740 illegally and that's that's a crime but uh hochel granted clemency to 13 individuals including

00:56:13.380 a person convicted of manslaughter now i don't even like when they do this

00:56:19.740 with uh american citizens where somebody years ago kills someone and they've been in prison

00:56:29.040 They're in there 25 years.

00:56:30.740 I don't care how long they're in there.

00:56:32.840 And then they go, wow, what an amazing person.

00:56:39.360 I mean, they've been an amazing prisoner.

00:56:44.120 They haven't done anything bad.

00:56:46.100 Yeah, you're in prison.

00:56:49.360 They helped other inmates.

00:56:53.360 Like it's Shawshank.

00:56:54.880 Like it's Andy Dufresne.

00:56:56.480 He's down there in the library helping people get their diploma.

00:57:01.600 That isn't what's happening in prison.

00:57:04.840 You have to behave.

00:57:07.020 It's prison.

00:57:09.240 So they look and they go, well, this person really deserves to get out.

00:57:15.700 And and just because time went by and they decided to pick up a Bible or Koran or whatever they religion, they decide to practice.

00:57:30.940 And then and then what happens? They go, what a great person. Let's let them out. Why?

00:57:37.240 I think the punishment factor is the top number one thing with prison.

00:57:47.900 I'm not into the whole rehabilitation thing.

00:57:51.620 Maybe in some cases where it's not someone getting killed because that person is not coming back.

00:57:59.860 and when they were sentenced to life in prison for killing someone uh that's got to be pretty

00:58:10.000 horrific to someone don't you want that to kind of continue 25 years later you go well

00:58:17.760 i'm still here till i'm dead that's part of it that's part of the horror of prison

00:58:27.080 and paying your debt to society to be removed from society.

00:58:34.800 So the idea that you get to, you know, oh, years later, oh, what,

00:58:39.700 you kind of washed away the nightmare for the family of the dead person?

00:58:48.420 You know, you think they're all fine and well with letting someone out

00:58:52.800 because they had to behave in prison?

00:58:57.080 So, you know, that's one thing I don't like about clemency and letting people out because they're such good murderers.

00:59:07.040 They were a good murderer in prison. 0.83

00:59:10.140 But when they're illegals and Governor Hochul is granting them clemency for no other reason than to prevent them from being deported. 0.95

00:59:22.140 That to me is a crime. 0.63

00:59:23.960 She should be locked up. 1.00

00:59:25.060 lock her up she is is interfering with uh a government agency with ice 1.00

00:59:35.760 to remove illegals from this country trying to make an end run on this thing 0.84

00:59:43.060 uh so she granted clemency 13 individuals on this past friday including pardons for various

00:59:49.600 convictions such as drug possession attempted robbery and arson little arson for you there you

00:59:56.720 go one of the individuals pardoned this week has been convicted of first degree manslaughter

01:00:02.400 in 1990 so people go it's manslaughter it's 1990 well the the person's still dead

01:00:14.800 the the the the manslaughtered person is still very dead

01:00:21.580 and you know who knows what meant if you're convicted of first-degree manslaughter by the way

01:00:31.540 you were charged with murder that's how that goes you were charged with murder you were arrested

01:00:41.180 for murder the grand jury came back with murder you somehow got it down to manslaughter

01:00:52.060 and then oh it's 1990 that was forever ago that was you know whatever it's 19 it's 2000 something

01:01:01.840 now no i don't uh i don't go for that and especially with an illegal that she's trying

01:01:09.240 to keep in the country and these are the democrats the liberals the wonderful people

01:01:14.080 that are telling you constantly that they are are for democracy they are for the people

01:01:23.360 and whenever anything about crime comes up they are the party of safety and law and order

01:01:32.760 not like the 34 felony president we have oh the guy that uh it's actually peaceful and quiet

01:01:43.320 in dc now where cops are walking around going this is amazing where citizens are walking around

01:01:50.680 going we've never been able to walk in this park that's the guy that's terrible the governor of

01:01:59.500 new york that's letting 13 uh some of them felons others they're all criminals just for the just

01:02:09.400 for the reason that they cannot be deported that's your party of law and order and your

01:02:17.280 saviors of democracy yeah back in a flash more of the anthony cumia show in moments

01:02:25.940 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:32.220 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:38.200 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:02:39.920 Let's go right to the lovely Jacqueline in Brooklyn, New York.

01:02:44.640 Jacqueline, how are you?

01:02:46.240 Hi, Anthony.

01:02:47.080 Good.

01:02:47.540 I'm still melting from this horrible weather, but other than that, I'm just fabulous.

01:02:52.620 It's not the heat.

01:02:53.860 it's all right we get it yep well you know regarding this shooting incident at that

01:03:01.000 club that you were talking about sounds like a great place yeah i used to uh sell insurance and

01:03:08.440 one of our uh phrases that we used to use was it's better to have it and not need it than to

01:03:15.620 need it and not have it and the same applies to a firearm yes and every other situation and i

01:03:23.620 wouldn't be a bit surprised if any of those weapons that were fired i don't know there was 36 shots

01:03:29.400 i think uh that's what uh commissioner pish stated i would doubt highly if any of those

01:03:36.900 firearms were legal so you know what uh same same story different day they're never legal

01:03:44.980 firearms they're never held by anyone that is legally allowed to carry firearms a lot of these

01:03:52.560 people are either convicted felons that are already out or they already have a litany of

01:03:59.140 prior charges that are pending while they're out on some type of non bail.

01:04:05.020 They're wearing ankle monitors and they're slinging guns around.

01:04:10.280 So, yeah, the legal law abiding gun owners are for the most part, you know, there's always

01:04:18.420 anomalies but uh the vast majority very safe uh trained they enjoy shooting and yes i'd rather

01:04:26.580 uh have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it uh i i've read and seen stories you

01:04:34.100 know you're in a hotel what do you watch forensic files you watch uh all those crime shows there

01:04:40.000 are certain circumstances where i could not imagine the horror of the family member especially

01:04:46.300 the dad the husband when there's a home invasion or somebody is uh doing harm to a guy's family

01:04:55.660 and he doesn't have anything to protect his family with and i gotta think no matter how 0.98

01:05:03.880 liberal they are no matter how anti-gun they are you gotta know that somewhere in that dumb 0.99

01:05:11.340 noggin knocking around is oh my god i wish i had a gun right now 0.99

01:05:19.100 yeah thank you jacqueline jacqueline couldn't take it she was listening to me my my sultry voice

01:05:29.580 and just uh hung up the phone but that's you know i i've seen so many of these situations where

01:05:35.460 there's a a nightmarish story from years back in Connecticut a doctor and his wife and kids

01:05:44.060 and uh two guys broke in and I think it was their plan was the wife worked at a bank and they were

01:05:51.780 gonna hold the the family hostage while the woman went to the bank and got them money and it just

01:05:59.820 went sideways real fast and uh the husband somehow managed to escape and the entire family

01:06:08.460 was just killed and the the two daughters killed in a horrific way i don't even want to touch on

01:06:15.100 that here on this program it's so bad but you can only imagine the the husband going

01:06:22.480 If I had a gun, if I had the great equalizer, if I had a tool that I could have used to protect my family, protecting the job, the first, the paramount, first and foremost job I have in my life, protecting my family.

01:06:44.600 And I failed miserably.

01:06:48.660 Why didn't have a gun and have a tool?

01:06:52.480 You didn't have a tool. 0.98

01:06:53.680 I got to drive a nail.

01:06:54.980 I don't have a hammer.

01:06:56.000 I need to drill a hole.

01:06:57.000 I don't have a Makita.

01:06:59.060 Whatever.

01:07:01.120 Better to, yes, have a gun.

01:07:06.380 It really is.

01:07:07.700 And there are plenty of safety.

01:07:09.220 I mean, you hear all the time, well, how many kids are killed with guns?

01:07:13.620 Well, there's another issue.

01:07:14.760 You know, a gun is a great responsibility.

01:07:20.080 and if you do have a family and young children and you want to have a gun to protect yourself

01:07:26.860 you damn well better do whatever's necessary now to protect your family against this very powerful

01:07:35.860 tool um me thank god i don't i don't have any kids i leave them laying around like coasters 0.95

01:07:44.140 Oh, yeah, there's a 45 over there.

01:10:14.320 what exactly Eddie Anta's brother, the new information that he has on this bum.

01:10:19.620 He got $1.7 million from the New York campaign finance fund.

01:10:24.080 Amazing.

01:10:25.340 Amazing.

01:10:26.240 I don't know how it's being done.

01:10:28.780 Yeah, well, I don't know.

01:10:32.140 I don't know.

01:10:32.440 Harriet, thank you for calling, Harriet.

01:10:35.340 I do appreciate your call from Brooklyn, New York.

01:10:38.760 There goes Harriet.

01:10:40.560 I didn't know Eddie Antner's brother was like a finance guy. 0.74

01:10:43.300 That's kind of weird, because Eddie Antner was just a real, oof, a criminal. 0.96

01:10:49.240 Crazy Eddie! 0.99

01:10:51.040 His prices are insane!

01:11:07.460 He was on the TV all the time in New York. 0.94

01:11:11.680 We loved him.

01:11:13.300 We loved him. Let's see. What do we got? All right. I could do that. And then next we'll talk about. Oh, yeah, this is great. Rubio. You know, the media is such. Do I have to say it? I don't have to say it because it's a bad word. I can't say on FCC regulated amplitude modulation. But you can't come up with a word bad enough.

01:11:37.700 You know the word that if you're having a fight with your girlfriend or wife, and if you said that one word, the previous argument disappears, and you are in a whole new argument that is 800 times worse than the argument you were just in?

01:11:57.480 That, my friends, is the word for the media.

01:12:03.260 And I think you know what it is.

01:12:05.360 Yeah. Rubio blast Margaret Brennan. She's talking about the Russia Ukraine negotiations with Putin. 1.00

01:12:12.940 We'll we'll come back and talk about that, because that's a big story.

01:12:18.360 They always want to trash Trump on these things. But back in a flash.

01:12:22.740 Anthony Cumia show. It's the Anthony Cumia show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:12:30.020 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:12:35.360 Yes, the Anthony Ducumia show, and we are talking about, of course, the media.

01:12:43.580 Donald Trump, our president, had a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and the optics were pretty interesting.

01:12:55.920 I'll say that. The little red carpet thing. It was weird. Not weird. It's pure Donald Trump.

01:13:04.280 Trump had this red carpet that was like 10 feet wide coming off of Air Force One.

01:13:13.900 And then Putin had this little tiny strip like a like a Christmas ribbon going from his plane.

01:13:24.340 And it intersected with Trump's 10 foot wide red carpet.

01:13:30.320 so trump gets to the point where the little ribbon met his carpet and stops and makes

01:13:36.320 putin walk toward him he does the trump handshake where he pulls him in uh so that was interesting

01:13:43.760 it was really funny to see the difference in red carpet sizes and i know some people have problems

01:13:49.800 with just the fact that putin was given the the dignity of a red carpet at all but uh look

01:13:59.180 he's a world leader very powerful um you're gonna do what you have to do that's politics that's uh

01:14:09.680 uh the the way you're supposed to treat foreign dignitaries um and then as they're walking to

01:14:18.980 the beast which is trump's vehicle they both got in the back seat it kind of looked weird

01:14:24.700 I wanted him to turn around and wave out the back window like Grease, like John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, and then just fly away.

01:14:32.880 Didn't happen, oddly enough.

01:14:35.760 But then Trump had ordered a flyover of the B-1 bombers, one B-1 bomber, and a few fighter escorts.

01:14:52.340 and it just uh it was right over their heads so they're kind of looking up and

01:15:00.220 Putin's been around though long enough I don't think people really understand this

01:15:05.900 Putin has been in charge of Russia on and off for a long time and before he was in charge during the

01:15:14.960 the years of the soviet union he was a big man on campus with the kgb and just he is a solid

01:15:24.240 name in russia and in the previous um ussr ussr dragonfly to wolves then call it a full names

01:15:37.600 rambo right so you got uh the two of them and they're going to talk about ukraine

01:15:45.740 and uh they go in they have a little chit chat and there's all expectations of course

01:15:52.400 and when it's all said and done they leave and trump says yeah no we didn't really come to any

01:15:59.520 conclusions we talked um he wants uh he doesn't want to cease fire he wants a complete end to

01:16:07.280 this obviously he wants uh land um ukraine doesn't a lot of americans don't like putin at all we all

01:16:16.840 know the story but the media just could not help but jump on and go ah big nothing look at that

01:16:27.300 trump making promises and what came out of it nothing he gave putin a red carpet he shook his

01:16:34.120 hand he gave him credibility and what did they get can we look back at the biden administration

01:16:43.960 uh was anything done to even make the slightest attempt to end that war under joe biden all the

01:16:57.080 war hawks were were dumping money and weapons into that war and by the way we dump money and

01:17:07.420 weapons and russia and ukraine are dumping bodies you know every weapon and dollar we send over

01:17:15.520 has an exchange rate in russian and ukrainian lives just a meat grinder and nothing no one 0.73

01:17:26.200 cared. If anyone even suggested that money or weapons shouldn't be sent to Ukraine, you were

01:17:33.600 a Putin puppet. You hate the fine people of Ukraine. And meanwhile, the whole goal here

01:17:45.740 is to stop the war and what has Trump done other than really try to to stop this war

01:17:57.040 talking to both principal players trying to stop the influx of money and weapons

01:18:06.500 that just is is perpetuating this carnage and he's the bad guy the guy really trying

01:18:17.200 is he succeeding doesn't look like it you know i would love for trump to come out it's all over

01:18:23.720 done dunsky but it's not happening a lot of wars are at the negotiation table for many many years

01:18:34.120 And sometimes nothing ever happens. But to try to trash him for trying when for four years under Joe Biden or, you know, once they started the conflict, every every minute of the Biden administration was dedicated to pumping out money and weapons to keep that killing going without a word being uttered.

01:19:04.120 about maybe coming to a table

01:19:06.620 and talking things out.

01:19:09.820 Having Putin, having Zelensky,

01:19:14.100 and talking to them

01:19:15.700 and seeing if something can be done.

01:19:20.240 And they're the caring party, the Dems.

01:19:24.400 They care.

01:19:26.480 Saving democracy.

01:19:29.620 That's it. 1.00

01:19:30.140 The Republican, evil, terrible people. 1.00

01:19:33.600 Right? 0.98

01:19:34.120 And so here's Rubio, little Marco.

01:19:41.140 I still can't get it in my head.

01:19:43.140 Boy, Trump really, when he brands somebody,

01:19:46.780 even when he becomes friendly with them or business associate

01:19:50.980 or same administration, you just can't get it out of your head.

01:19:55.860 Look at little Marco, drinking his water.

01:19:58.500 It's just, I still think that, but I like Marco Rubio.

01:20:02.940 I like so he was on CBS face the nation with Margaret Brennan and they were talking about 0.97

01:20:11.540 the Russia Ukraine negotiations and of course Margaret Brennan being CBS they have to crap

01:20:18.760 all over it even though he's the only one trying to do anything at this point a little

01:20:27.460 disappointed with the results and this whole lie this could have been the fake news oh i think it

01:20:33.680 is fake news i put it under the fake news segment but we kind of skipped past it this is um a lie

01:20:42.120 this is a blatant lie that she's saying that uh vladimir not vladimir uh well zelinski

01:20:49.900 is coming to the U.S. or coming to a meeting with Trump

01:20:55.700 with the leaders of Europe behind him

01:20:59.000 because they're so angry with Trump

01:21:01.500 that he's got his little bully squad with him

01:21:04.340 to go, hey, Trump, this is how it's got to go.

01:21:08.600 That's a lie.

01:21:10.600 It's a lie.

01:21:11.660 The European leaders knew about this meeting.

01:21:16.860 Trump's administration called for this meeting.

01:21:19.900 and you want the rest of europe involved in it at least them showing up doesn't automatically

01:21:26.860 mean they're mad at trump and if they are what are they mad at again just like i said a guy

01:21:33.340 trying to stop an unprecedented carnage that's going on right now so uh let's listen to a little

01:21:40.320 of this i'll chop it off at some point but here's a rubio talking with uh margaret brennan cbs face

01:21:46.260 the nation. You know there's concern from the Europeans that President Zelensky is going to

01:21:51.480 be bullied into signing something away. That's why you have these European leaders coming as

01:21:56.560 backup tomorrow. Can you reassure them? No, it isn't. That's not why they're coming as back.

01:22:00.660 That's not true. But that's not true. They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from

01:22:05.920 being bullied. They're not coming. In fact, they're coming here tomorrow. They're coming here

01:22:09.180 in front of television cameras where President Zelensky was stressed down. Do you know how many

01:22:12.900 meetings we've had since then? Oh, no, I know. And I was just up in Alaska watching the one with

01:22:17.500 Vladimir Putin where red carpet rolls rolled out. No, but with Zelensky. We've had more meetings.

01:22:21.980 We've had one meeting with Putin and like a dozen meetings with Zelensky. But that's not true.

01:22:28.180 They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied. They're coming here tomorrow

01:22:31.640 because we've been working with the Europeans. We talked to them last week. There were meetings in

01:22:34.420 the UK over the previous weekend. And they said President Trump was going to demand a ceasefire.

01:22:38.860 As early as Thursday.

01:22:41.580 But you said that they're coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied.

01:22:44.760 They're not coming here tomorrow. 0.98

01:22:46.100 This is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming here tomorrow because Trump is going to bully Zelensky into a bad deal. 0.99

01:22:53.180 We've been working with these people for weeks, for weeks on this stuff. 0.99

01:22:56.620 They're coming here tomorrow because they chose to come here tomorrow.

01:22:58.800 We invited them to come.

01:23:00.120 We invited them to come.

01:23:01.320 The president invited them to come.

01:23:02.980 But the president told those European leaders last week that he wanted a ceasefire.

01:23:07.080 The president went on television, said he would walk out of the meeting if Vladimir Putin didn't agree with on.

01:23:11.600 He said there would be severe consequences if he didn't agree to one.

01:23:14.880 He said he'd walk out in two minutes.

01:23:16.300 He spent three hours talking to Vladimir Putin, and he did not get one.

01:23:20.520 So there's some mixed messages.

01:23:21.620 Because obviously things happened during that meeting.

01:23:23.740 Well, because obviously things, look, our goal here is not to stage some production for the world to say, oh, how dramatic he walked out.

01:23:29.860 Our goal here is to have a peace agreement, to end this war, okay?

01:23:33.900 And obviously we felt, and I agree.

01:23:35.600 it's um the the way she's talking trump said he's leaving it like do people appreciate

01:23:45.680 the the dynamic of peace talks you got a leader a world leader that's involved in a war

01:23:55.660 that truthfully i don't think he's very happy with the the way things are going

01:24:00.980 um anytime a leader is losing countrymen like that uh can't can't imagine they're happy

01:24:07.920 and then you have this this mainstream media shill going well trump said he'd walk out

01:24:16.500 not understanding that a conversation is is dynamic that things change that perhaps he

01:24:24.560 felt he was getting somewhere and then maybe he wasn't and then maybe he was again

01:24:30.040 They all think it's some crappy movie, some crappy action, political drama movie where the woman goes in and beats up the Russian mafia and then negotiates.

01:24:46.040 negotiates. These are the I believe the most sensitive talks countries can have with each

01:24:58.400 other when they involve war. Literally lives are on the line every second you're in there

01:25:06.300 speaking. So do you just make an assumption before you walk in? Well, if he doesn't capitulate in

01:25:14.320 three minutes i'm walking out and then you're leaving a bunch more dead bodies out on a field

01:25:22.380 somewhere or do you talk and maybe you say something like that as bravado as a little

01:25:32.180 kind of um letting your your opponent in the the conversation know that you're serious about this

01:25:42.620 and i want answers and i don't want to bs around do they understand

01:25:48.380 have they read the art of the deal that trump wrote

01:25:52.800 no they they look at anything he says and if it doesn't actually happen exactly the way not even

01:26:03.200 he said it the way they interpreted it then he's again once again the worst president ever he's 1.00

01:26:11.520 terrible he's uh kissing putin's ass he's not these are negotiations to stop a war something 1.00

01:26:21.140 they didn't even do under the biden administration they actually prevented peace talks from happening 0.99

01:26:29.500 and now that it's happening and uh trump didn't walk out after a couple of minutes

01:26:36.560 that he's handing something over to Putin.

01:26:42.100 You cannot hate the mainstream media enough.

01:26:47.640 How much do you hate him?

01:26:49.140 How much?

01:26:49.920 How much?

01:26:50.680 Yeah, not enough.

01:26:53.180 Not enough. 0.92

01:26:55.020 It's disgusting. 0.93

01:26:58.400 Just disgusting. 0.75

01:26:59.880 I don't mean to use disgusting and then pick up Sandra from Jersey,

01:27:05.100 But, Sandra, how are you, dear?

01:27:08.120 I'm very well.

01:27:09.140 How are you?

01:27:10.440 Very good.

01:27:11.520 What's the beverage of choice this evening, Sandra?

01:27:14.320 Well, I was thinking about the guns, but I wanted to first say this to you.

01:27:19.060 I really enjoyed your sharing the microphone with Sid Rosenberg last week.

01:27:25.200 Yes.

01:27:26.300 I loved it.

01:27:27.280 I think you two have really good chemistry together.

01:27:30.880 and maybe one of these days even once a week you two can be together like bernie and sid maybe

01:27:37.600 anthony and sid that's what i was thinking you know i think uh from the time i uh spent uh in

01:27:44.840 a in radio exile and that time where sid was building up a career i might have to be sid

01:27:51.160 and anthony i don't know if it could be anthony and sid i meant that i meant just saying of course

01:27:57.260 Just saying.

01:27:58.080 I don't know.

01:27:58.740 Of course.

01:27:59.440 Hey, maybe, maybe, Sandra.

01:28:01.360 I don't know.

01:28:01.960 But you're in luck because tomorrow in the noon hour, from noon to one, myself and the great Mr. Sid Rosenberg are doing a show.

01:28:11.840 Oh, I love it.

01:28:12.940 Tomorrow.

01:28:13.300 So very excited about that.

01:28:14.760 There you go.

01:28:15.560 Because like you, I do enjoy doing a show with Sid myself there, Sandra.

01:28:20.160 Yes.

01:28:20.820 Very cool.

01:28:20.980 I picked up the chemistry, and I'm very perceptive like that.

01:28:24.240 And then I just, I wanted to say one little thing.

01:28:26.820 I love what Jacqueline said about the guns, you know, whatever that proverb was.

01:28:30.920 I know that it's not the guns that kill the people, it's the bullets.

01:28:35.420 So maybe they ought to raise prices on bullets so people won't be such, right?

01:28:41.180 Not be in such a hurry to buy them, and then maybe they'll think twice before they shoot someone.

01:28:45.700 Well, how about we take care of, we look, we actually notice, we look at statistics and crime statistics and whatnot,

01:28:55.480 And we try to figure out why there is a group of people, certain people in particular, not not 100 percent, but, you know, the majority, especially when you look at percentiles and per capita and and try to understand why they are killing people at insane rates.

01:29:21.300 instead of looking at the tool being used to commit those crimes.

01:29:27.380 Sandra, thank you so much.

01:29:29.020 There goes Sandra.

01:29:30.260 We can't do a show without getting Sandra's point of view every week. 0.99

01:29:36.640 That's, yeah. 1.00

01:29:40.480 Anyway, she seems like a good egg. 1.00

01:29:44.120 She does seem like a good egg. 0.81

01:29:46.300 Let's see what's coming up.

01:29:47.760 We got Janine Pirro.

01:29:51.940 She's reacting to the press, the lying press again, saying that crime is down in D.C.

01:29:59.320 This has been their go to since Trump has decided to crack down on on the homeless problem and crime, this carjacking problem in D.C. 0.93

01:30:10.560 And these teens, young ruffians, thugs, whatever they want to call them in D.C., there is a problem. 0.98

01:30:24.160 And they just want to keep telling you that crime is down. 1.00

01:30:29.220 Oh, it's down.

01:30:30.760 Well, do your statistics say they're down?

01:30:33.660 because there's plenty of ways to fudge stats and I know plenty of cops NYPD guys and they have told

01:30:44.640 me many many times that what they do is they'll take something like an assault and they'll make

01:30:55.140 the paperwork they'll they'll write out the paperwork as harassment and now you have one

01:31:01.520 less assault charge which is a violent crime and now you have a harassment so they can say crime

01:31:07.900 is down violent crime is down meanwhile the same crime happened you just called it something else

01:31:13.920 and now your statistics can show that crime is down it's not any sensible person that's looking

01:31:22.080 out into the world these days knows crime is not down and that seems to be an issue so

01:31:30.060 So in a minute, we'll listen to Janine Pirro lambasting the media about this crime is down nonsense.

01:31:39.900 Back in a flash.

01:31:43.580 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:31:50.360 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:31:56.720 Yes, whip out that free speech. 0.93

01:32:00.060 uh yeah uh janine piero was reacting to the media the press because you know they're liars

01:32:10.520 they're propaganda wings of the left they have been for many many years they used to try to

01:32:18.320 cover it up a little there was that thing called plausible deniability so if you called them on

01:32:25.900 something they could pull out a little card and go hey wait a minute look at us we're the eyes

01:32:32.180 and ears of the people we don't have a political affiliation and then you'd go maybe they don't

01:32:42.020 maybe well they haven't even tried to hide it for years now years firmly in the pocket

01:32:49.540 of the liberal left and anything trump tries to do anything any republican tries to do

01:32:59.560 they will make it sound like the worst thing ever and they are the greatest greatest people

01:33:06.820 they cared you know oh yeah yeah the left the democrats they constantly tell you how they care

01:34:22.200 cares so greatly about total strangers.

01:34:28.560 They talk about it all the time.

01:34:31.260 We are the party that cares.

01:34:33.420 Because I care about the American people.

01:34:36.060 I care for the working man.

01:34:38.080 I care.

01:34:40.340 Just think of yourself. 1.00

01:34:42.480 You're not a piece of garbage. 0.98

01:34:45.460 But you do have a limit as to who you're really going to, you know, care about. 0.99

01:34:51.640 Especially to the point where you're going to yell it out to the world.

01:34:55.960 I care about my brother.

01:34:59.300 There you go.

01:35:12.660 not care about him

01:35:14.100 you couldn't force me

01:35:16.520 to care about him

01:35:18.060 but the politicians

01:35:20.720 the most 1.00

01:35:22.360 dishonest liars 0.98

01:35:23.920 will look you right in the 1.00

01:35:26.580 face and

01:35:28.440 profess to caring

01:35:30.780 it's such 1.00

01:35:32.600 nonsense so here's janine talking to the lying media when the topic of crime in dc and trump's

01:35:42.780 attempt to curtail it with something again he's doing something for god's sake and uh here's her

01:35:49.520 reaction to the media oh stop it we are putting all kinds of resources onto the street

01:35:56.580 thank you guys

01:36:00.940 thanks

01:36:01.740 it's never enough

01:36:10.420 this changed

01:36:11.820 it's never enough

01:36:14.980 you tell these families

01:36:16.900 crime has dropped 1.00

01:36:18.460 you tell the mother of the intern

01:36:21.160 who was shot going out

01:36:23.040 for mcdonald's near the

01:36:24.740 Washington Convention Center. Oh, crime is down. You tell the kid who was just beat the hell and

01:36:30.460 back with a severe concussion and a broken nose. Crime is down. No, that falls on deaf ears. And

01:36:36.820 my ears are deaf to that. And that's why I fight the fight. Thank you. See, that's a great answer.

01:36:45.980 They they're trying to say crime is down. Yeah. When you're in a city like D.C. where where crime

01:36:53.860 is rampant i mean you talk to the people they go out sometimes and the entire street their their

01:37:02.760 windows on their cars are busted and they've taken whatever valuables might be in there uh you tell

01:37:10.680 them crimes down and look it might be i doubt it i don't believe it for a second but let's say it's

01:37:19.860 down it's just what janine said how is that good enough is it just being down a couple of

01:37:29.380 percentage points that makes it okay that people are still being mugged and shot and carjacked

01:37:35.760 and even if they're not being harmed physically property damage and and burglaries that's okay

01:37:45.180 they just don't get it they have to crap on every single thing anyone on the right tries to do

01:37:55.320 uh to to help uh the american people unbelievable all right taking a quick break but we will be

01:38:05.260 back in moments it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:38:11.480 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:38:18.320 yes back with more of the anthony cumia show uh let's go to matthew in jersey matthew what's up

01:38:27.060 my friend hey how are you good good you thank you so i just want to give you a little you know

01:38:35.760 little bit of my story i worked in new york city for two and a half years and i you know a community

01:38:41.840 from new jersey went into port authority and it's just an absolute nightmare you know during that

01:38:48.640 two and a half years with just seeing people like just maniacs out of port authority you've got

01:38:54.940 people literally standing in the streets holding shovels staring down people people just you know

01:39:00.840 You had to pick a different route almost every day to be able to walk into Midtown to avoid some of the nonsense.

01:39:09.100 And the day that I, you know, ended my career in New York City, I walked in and I had somebody come up behind me absolutely losing their mind, shouting hate, telling me how much they hated me.

01:39:24.920 I had no idea who this person was.

01:39:26.520 It was right there on 6th Avenue, right across Broadway, and they were losing their absolute mind right behind my back.

01:39:34.120 And to the point where I literally had to dart into a random business just to get away from it.

01:39:40.780 Well, who was this gentleman?

01:39:42.780 I have no idea who it was.

01:39:45.020 Just a random nut job on the street?

01:39:48.700 A complete random nut job on the street.

01:39:51.620 Wasn't the first nor the last time I had to deal with that.

01:39:54.520 I nearly got knocked over, you know, with three guys knocking off a bodega at 8 o'clock in the morning, walking into work.

01:40:01.940 It's just – it's insanity.

01:40:03.860 It's really insane what's going on, and it's just not being reported.

01:40:07.880 And it just ticks me off.

01:40:10.200 Yeah.

01:40:11.480 How do you expect people who are hardworking people to go in and work in the city when, like, the first thing you have to deal with getting off the bus in the morning at Port Authority is, like, nonsense?

01:40:21.160 well people lying on the street or just insane people staring you down it'll it'll get better

01:40:27.760 under mandani i swear because what he wants to do is not only continue with uh just allowing

01:40:37.320 people to jump turnstiles to get onto the subway system without paying because you know anyone that

01:40:43.800 wants to push someone in front of a train or carry all their worldly possessions onto a subway car

01:40:49.980 and then assault people and harass them or offend them, their olfactory system with their smell.

01:40:58.240 Those are the people.

01:40:59.840 They don't pay to get on the subway system and then ride it offending people or assaulting them.

01:41:07.600 They get on for free.

01:41:09.160 So now Mamdani wants to do that on the buses, too.

01:41:12.560 So the only barrier that you've had over the course of the years has been that fare.

01:41:17.860 The ability or the lack of ability of people to pay it so they can't get on the bus to harass you.

01:41:26.640 Now, Mamdani wants that free.

01:41:28.680 So all those people that you see on the subway platforms because they've been jumping turnstiles, they will also now be on the buses.

01:41:37.160 So Port Authority will be even better.

01:41:40.920 Yeah.

01:41:41.440 Yeah. You know, I'd like to address one other thing with New York when it comes to their

01:41:48.540 unemployment process, because their unemployment process is completely broken. And, you know,

01:41:54.820 it took me weeks of calling that number to, you know, register my unemployment.

01:42:02.240 I can't imagine the genius after all the automation for the call. I can't imagine

01:42:06.820 the the mensa genius you must have gotten on the other end when you finally were able to speak to

01:42:13.120 a person it took it took me three weeks to get a person on the phone it was using person loosely

01:42:20.140 using that term person very loosely brutal absolutely brutal and you know what and my

01:42:28.020 case was completely dropped it was it was ridiculous it was fighting tooth and nail just

01:42:33.120 to be able to secure what was rightfully owed and it was the first time in my entire life i ever had

01:42:38.180 to deal with something like that and i've been i don't know how people do it i don't know how

01:42:41.900 people do it matthew you're lucky you you at least live in jersey there are people that live in new

01:42:46.880 york city and have to work there at least you have somewhat of an escape to not have to um pay the

01:42:54.440 insane prices uh deal with the lunatics depending on what part of jersey you're in i i hope you're 0.97

01:43:02.000 a place where you live that isn't that crazy but uh you know new york city is it's screwed it's 0.95

01:43:09.760 it's effed as they say matthew thank you man i appreciate uh the call and what he talked about

01:43:17.280 kind of fits in with what i wanted to go to next um with with trump cracking down on dc the crime

01:43:24.040 the homeless problem uh and all these other cities now uh they they believe because trump 0.89

01:43:31.080 is a dictator he's a fascist he is literally hitler literally hitler uh so obviously he's 0.82

01:43:40.200 doing terrible things and he's taking over and um you know dc he did that martial law as rosie said 0.93

01:43:47.140 uh so other cities now are saying oh are we next are we next and um i don't know is it bad enough

01:43:59.300 Do you look around and go, boy, the government we've elected and put in place and the law enforcement they have appointed just isn't doing the job.

01:44:14.180 There's a lot of crime and nastiness going on here.

01:44:19.260 Also, D.C. is a whole different animal as far as Trump being able to actually have what they call this federal takeover.

01:44:27.960 he can just go into any city and do that uh la was uh uh was was a different issue

01:44:36.460 he was able to do that there was uh protests or unrest going on it wasn't protest unrest

01:44:46.140 let's call it and you can call out the national guard for that but uh you can't just you know

01:44:52.660 hey we don't like the crime stats in new york so we're gonna uh put the national guard in here and

01:45:00.560 take over your police department it's not gonna happen so relax trump isn't this the dictator

01:45:07.840 they wish he was they wish he was this dictator so they would be right when they call him a dictator

01:45:15.120 and there would be something that they could put up front and go see this is what a dictator does

01:45:21.120 because he's doing everything in complete compliance

01:45:24.800 with rules, regulations, laws, and the Constitution.

01:45:30.400 But when you listen to a pair of people

01:45:37.560 like the Reverend Al Sharpton and Spike Lee,

01:45:44.060 they had a little

01:45:46.480 they had a little

01:45:47.740 talk about

01:45:49.960 what might happen

01:45:51.740 what it might look like

01:45:53.380 if Trump decided to use

01:45:56.040 the same policies he used in D.C.

01:45:58.460 to curtail the crime and homelessness

01:46:00.140 in New York City

01:46:02.340 because you know

01:46:03.980 the people in the Bronx

01:46:05.940 and Brooklyn

01:46:07.760 they ain't putting up with that

01:46:10.300 mmm mmm

01:46:11.360 and they're

01:46:12.940 they're laughing about it this by the way on the heels of a gang shooting where people were killed

01:46:22.460 and injured all people of color were killed and injured there wasn't a white person there that

01:46:29.060 um was was uh in in the fray the perpetrators were people of color uh and and these shootings

01:46:39.880 that happen in new york city the five boroughs are i mean statistically 100 you might get a plus

01:46:52.600 or minus one percent that it's not a person of color black or hispanic uh but here you have two

01:47:02.520 guys that are supposedly respected uh people you know you got filmmaker spike lee he's won

01:47:12.000 all kinds of awards the great reverend al who's never never slipped a race card on the table in

01:47:19.520 his life just wonderful people and uh you you listen to him talk they're laughing as they talk

01:47:31.140 about how new york would never put up with the trump's plan and and what he's done in dc of 0.91

01:47:40.960 trying to curtail violent crime that are killing it's the people of color are being killed let's 0.99

01:47:47.920 be real we all get a little mad we see you know oh this dumb white guy decided to uh wander into 0.99

01:47:55.500 a place he wasn't supposed to and uh he argued and he said hey i'm with you blm and uh you know 0.99

01:48:06.600 got dispatched with a chunk of lead to the head but these guys are laughing they're laughing at

01:48:14.740 the prospect that someone might might want to do something about the insane amount of violent crime

01:48:22.040 in new york city that is affecting predominantly black communities so let's listen to these two

01:48:29.600 geniuses uh talking uh spike lee reverend al on reverend al's show we're rev as you know

01:48:39.200 this country right now it's it's bananas and this and this guy trying to take over dc

01:48:49.480 and just weaponize these things.

01:48:57.840 And, I mean, he's going to think twice to try to do that in New York, though.

01:49:02.380 The boogie down, all of them, that's not doing dice.

01:49:09.340 Going to be a different kind of reaction.

01:49:11.020 Oh, yeah, it's going to be very different.

01:49:13.380 What? More violence?

01:49:16.400 What's the different reaction?

01:49:18.180 What is Bed-Stuy not going to allow if law enforcement decides to really start cracking down on the obvious violent crime going on?

01:49:33.340 This isn't some excuse to use racism and round up people of color.

01:49:42.180 Just looking at the crime and the violent crime and the murders going on in New York City, what is Bed-Stuy going to do if, what's Bed-Stuy going to do if some policy is put in place to really crack down on this? 0.97

01:50:01.880 Not allow it?

01:50:04.420 React with violence?

01:50:06.200 how could you not want your own people to be safer than they are now and i'm not talking about

01:50:17.540 safer under this uh boot on your neck safer under some oppressive police state

01:50:26.620 We're talking being safer by taking the criminals off the street, by stopping the people that

01:50:37.420 are committing horribly violent crimes against your own community off the street, and Reverend

01:50:47.140 Al and Spike Lee decide that's something to laugh and go, oh, yeah, you try that.

01:50:53.140 the mindset's unbelievable unbelievable back in a flash with more of the Anthony

01:51:01.560 Cumia show it's the Anthony Cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:51:07.540 it's the Anthony Cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:51:14.340 the anthony cumia show you know i love hollywood celebrity if you've listened to this program or

01:51:25.660 any other program i've done over the course of the years you know the the utmost respect i have

01:51:32.920 or celebrities and their opinions.

01:51:39.660 They're never at a loss for words.

01:51:43.840 And they're actors.

01:51:45.360 These are actors.

01:51:46.760 They act.

01:51:48.020 No matter what they're doing or saying,

01:51:50.780 they are acting.

01:51:52.620 I have a theory about actors.

01:51:55.800 They are empty vessels.

01:51:58.860 They don't have real personalities.

01:52:01.560 they are whatever the writer puts in their head and they're whatever the director tells them

01:52:10.640 where to walk and stand and pick up and and the that's why some people are great actors

01:52:18.960 the the better you are as an actor the less of a real human being you are the less of a real

01:52:26.820 person you have within you i truly believe that and it comes out and it's come out over the course

01:52:33.480 of the years when they used to just shut up and act on the tonight show and other various talk

01:52:39.440 shows they were acting but they were playing a character that they wanted the people to believe

01:52:45.920 they were so they were still acting once they got this uh bug in their head that they they honestly

01:52:55.660 believed people wanted to hear what they had to say it all came apart it all crumbled people went 1.00

01:53:05.980 oh no oh no they're idiots oh my god they're nothing they're not even idiots they don't have 1.00

01:53:14.160 the mental capacity to be an idiot they just are nothing void they are devoid of anything 1.00

01:53:23.500 so uh i love it when they start yapping about stuff because it just proves my point uh this 0.99

01:53:31.280 is another one bites the dust uh another actor that i've enjoyed some of their movies and 0.91

01:53:37.280 now you just look and go oh this jackass uh ethan hawk ethan hawk uh here he is he's talking about 0.70

01:53:47.880 trump and maga and um how terrible things are right now and meanwhile you look around 0.97

01:53:56.220 not that terrible probably from his gated hollywood community uh things aren't going the

01:54:04.760 way him and his cronies would like so he probably sees it as terrible but uh let's listen to this

01:54:12.240 another actor just rambling and destroying whatever um whatever kind of reputation he had

01:54:21.740 as somebody that might might know what they're talking about go ahead ethan a large percentage

01:54:27.680 of the people that i know that support the unmentionable dramatic host what they admire

01:54:33.740 about him is that he doesn't seem chained to some kind of political correctness and it makes him

01:54:40.240 seem like a maverick, that people somehow feel comfortable enough to cheer and laugh

01:54:44.580 when Donald Trump is mocking somebody by calling them Pocahontas, right?

01:54:49.020 We're going to get the leaders in this life that we deserve, and if we walk around and

01:54:54.260 we think that stuff is funny, if our elected officials aren't, you know, demanding ethical

01:55:01.700 higher ground, then we're in a very dangerous place.

01:55:06.000 And I find that kind of jingoistic hate to be terrifying because it's always history shows it's always the easy way.

01:55:14.420 Whenever we're upset and whenever we're angry, if somebody gives us a chance to express our anger, it feels good temporarily because it feels like a place to put your rage.

01:55:23.820 What it usually does is, you know, create a cycle of violence.

01:55:28.580 Everything he said.

01:55:31.060 Was good.

01:55:32.240 like you want an outlet for your anger you want if if a bunch of people are angry about something

01:55:41.840 you want to commiserate and you want to go oh good i'm not alone on this other people are pissed

01:55:48.460 that this is happening or that's happening what and trump he's that you know it's this guy he

01:55:56.240 just you know will say something and then you can't even uh grab hold of it or be what like

01:56:03.060 like the cult-like biden administration where you just assumed um he didn't have alzheimer's 0.99

01:56:10.560 because you were told that and then his acting like the voice it's what a dick they're just 0.95

01:56:19.880 acting and moral high ground these guys are uh how can you think that any any politician 0.97

01:56:35.660 or party i'll throw the republicans right in there too because it goes to what i was saying

01:56:42.800 earlier about caring there's no moral high ground in politics does he actually think

01:56:51.840 that that the democrats and liz warren who you know trump was uh calling pocahontas and he had

01:56:59.100 a problem with it she was the one calling herself an american indian when it turns out she was not

01:57:04.880 but trump's the problem for saying pocahontas making a joke out of it should have been arrested 0.68

01:57:11.920 it moral high ground you know the moral high ground show me one politician that has ever taken 1.00

01:57:23.080 the moral high ground maybe they fooled you but if you look deep into something these bastards they 1.00

01:57:31.700 are all about themselves. Politicians are just like Hollywood actors. They play a part. They 1.00

01:57:42.960 lie for work. That's what they do. Actors are handed a script and they lie about who they are.

01:57:49.640 If you're a really, if you're good at lying, you could talk and convince people you're someone

01:57:55.040 you're not. And you're saying words that you didn't come up with. You're pretty much lying.

01:58:01.160 And if you're really good at it, they give you awards.

01:58:04.280 And politicians are the same thing.

01:58:08.420 They are just saying what they feel they need to say in order to get what they need for themselves.

01:58:19.360 Continue their job.

01:58:21.160 Look at these guys.

01:58:21.720 They hang in there for their entire lives, lying to the people, handing out breadcrumbs

01:58:29.020 every election so that people will vote for him again, making unbelievable amounts of

01:58:35.720 money on a $170,000 a year paycheck, is it?

01:58:41.120 So it's no different.

01:58:44.240 That, I think, is why the liberal Hollywood and liberal politicians, and even not liberal,

01:58:49.860 Look, again, I'll throw all of them into the mix here. 0.99

01:58:55.060 Politicians are liars. 0.97

01:58:58.260 They might even be worse than actors because at least actors are given lines 0.99

01:59:05.160 and everyone knows they're not really that person, or for the most part.

01:59:10.360 When they're speaking their lines in a movie, you go,

01:59:13.260 oh, that's Ethan Hawke, that's not that guy.

01:59:16.280 politicians are like no this is me i'm chuck schumer and then he's just lying he's just

01:59:23.740 blurting out lines that aren't uh real unbelievable back in a second with more of the show

01:59:31.840 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:59:38.140 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

01:59:44.320 the anthony comia show um i thought a good uh palate cleanser here because it kind of

01:59:52.600 fits in with the what ethan hawk the fabulous ethan hawk was saying uh about pocahontas

02:00:00.140 um you know how do you how do you look at someone like liz warren that professed to be an indian

02:00:09.720 an american indian this could be the the biggest like a racist thing a politician's done 0.93

02:00:19.180 uh trying to get yourself ahead she cares i care i care about the uh native americans 1.00

02:00:28.780 and then she calls herself an american indian when she's not in order to get uh into a school

02:00:38.020 i mean that right there is caring i care it shows you don't care you care about yourself

02:00:45.840 i think they're all raging narcissists you have to be oh i am uh perfectly capable of representing

02:00:55.680 tens of thousands if not millions of people i'm the guy i could represent everyone if that isn't

02:01:02.920 a narcissistic mindset so uh this is a quick clip but i i just found it so funny uh it's trump

02:01:11.160 talking about liz warren and i believe he speculates if she's insane or on drugs and 0.66

02:01:18.380 i uh i have to agree with him this is uh this is really funny whenever you see liz she seems

02:01:27.620 off, doesn't she? I don't like looking at politicians that are supposed to be representing

02:01:35.880 Americans and go, that person is insane. Now, I understand there is a portion of the American

02:01:47.040 public that is insane. So if that's the criteria for representing those people that you two have

02:01:53.940 to be insane then i say go liz go but um she's insane and i think she's supposed to be representing 0.92

02:02:03.240 people that aren't uh insane but here's trump talking about liz little a little sorbet for 0.59

02:02:09.760 the palette uh for a couple of seconds here it's so vicious what they do elizabeth warren 0.98

02:02:15.820 said she was an indian we call her pocahontas she's a liar uh she lied her whole career 1.00

02:02:23.500 based on the fact that she was an Indian. 0.99

02:02:25.900 She was able to get into certain colleges,

02:02:28.160 get certain jobs,

02:02:29.700 get into certain universities to work there. 1.00

02:02:33.140 She's a liar and a mean person. 1.00

02:02:35.820 She's a nut job. 1.00

02:02:37.920 I watched her the other night. 1.00

02:02:39.200 She's all hopped up endorsing a communist in New York City.

02:02:42.980 And she was all excited and jumping up and down. 0.94

02:02:45.500 She's got to take a drug test. 0.99

02:02:47.240 She really does. 1.00

02:02:47.860 She's got to take a drug test. 1.00

02:02:49.040 There's no way somebody can act that way and be normal. 1.00

02:02:52.740 What she's done to our financial institutions, she destroys people.

02:02:56.600 Do you know that you had a lot of great banks in the Midwest and banks that loaned to farmers and others and they went out of business?

02:03:03.100 She put them out of business.

02:03:04.160 Stone cold mean banks that were open 150 years, family banks that supplied the farmers and manufacturers and others. 0.73

02:03:11.940 And she put them out of business. 1.00

02:03:13.300 She's a mean, horrible human being burned. 0.99

02:03:15.800 I love it. 1.00

02:03:18.580 That's correct.

02:03:19.300 Where do you get that?

02:03:20.560 we're gonna miss this guy i don't care what you say we are gonna miss this guy

02:03:27.600 that right there he's a straight shooter oh my god larry larry staten island you got something

02:03:35.740 on spike and uh the great reverend al sharp than larry yes i do uh how you doing big ant

02:03:42.440 Good, good.

02:03:44.760 First of all, Tonto was more Indian than Liz Warren was. 0.97

02:03:49.000 Of course, of course, we all saw that.

02:03:51.700 And meanwhile, Trump told her to take a DNA test.

02:03:55.440 She did and failed miserably. 1.00

02:03:58.260 She's no Indian.

02:03:59.140 Now he's telling her to take a drug test. 0.72

02:04:01.020 Maybe, maybe she folds to the pressure and takes it. 0.99

02:04:05.540 We find out what kind of psychotropic drugs she's on.

02:04:08.520 now let's move on to fat al and that little punk uh spike lee yeah they are uh trying to fan the

02:04:20.040 fires uh to raise up the community uh first of all let me just talk about uh uh al shopton and

02:04:29.060 sonny carson uh tuesday is the 34th anniversary of the riots in kran huts i don't know i dodged

02:04:37.360 Small bottles of car that's got liver pills that day.

02:04:40.740 But these people don't understand.

02:04:43.520 This isn't when 1968, when Martin Luther King was shot,

02:04:47.280 and we saw trucks, military trucks of troops going through the areas of cities burning.

02:04:53.000 This is a move by the Trump administration to put additional personnel into areas

02:04:58.460 where there are spikes and climbs and to stabilize those areas.

02:05:02.460 So a good week of people in the city can go to the old people, can go to the medical station, can go shopping, can go to the bank. 0.97

02:05:12.960 That's all this is about.

02:05:14.360 How could you be against prevention of crime?

02:05:18.940 God knows.

02:05:20.180 They want to make it, Larry, they want to make it seem like it's this oppression, this racist MAGA oppression on their communities.

02:05:30.880 Meanwhile, you talk to people, if the media actually went out and talked to the regular Joes out there and the grandmas and everyone in these communities, they would say thank you.

02:05:45.080 Because I've seen some of these clips. 0.99

02:05:47.080 I can walk to the CVS now.

02:05:49.540 I could take my grandkid to the park for the past couple of days.

02:05:54.400 They think it's oppressive.

02:05:56.360 It's helping the very people that they say they care about and, you know, their communities and they just don't want to to have Trump be responsible for curtailing crime because it looks bad for them.

02:06:17.020 Absolutely. Absolutely, Tony.

02:06:20.300 I love it, Larry. Thank you, my friend. Staten Island, the only sane borough in the whole damn city.

02:06:26.360 Ugh, what the hell is wrong with New York, my friends? 0.99

02:06:30.520 Why am I all of a sudden sounding like I'm an 80-year-old Jewish man? 0.59

02:06:34.660 What is happening? 1.00

02:06:39.620 Yeah, this is a good one, too.

02:06:42.740 This is what's been happening.

02:06:44.100 Like, Trump has done a lot of stuff.

02:06:46.380 The crime thing is the latest, but the big, big, beautiful bill.

02:06:50.360 and uh the the snap and the welfare and the section eight housing and all this years and

02:07:00.760 years ago let me tell you a little story kids sit down get your pajamas on when i was uh a little

02:07:09.220 tyke growing up uh my dad and mom divorced my dad went out to california i guess he figured 0.87

02:07:16.500 I need to get as far away from this woman as is humanly possible

02:07:21.620 and still stay in the continental United States. 1.00

02:07:25.560 So my mom was raising myself, my brother Joe, and my sister Dawn by herself. 0.59

02:07:33.300 She worked quite a few jobs.

02:07:37.580 We never wanted for anything. 0.88

02:07:41.500 But she worked hard for it.

02:07:44.120 and we knew we knew she worked hard for it christmas was never a disappointment we had gifts

02:07:50.700 and birthdays and dinner was always we didn't have we didn't have store brand stuff or anything it

02:07:58.260 was del monte and green giant and she made sure that we had everything we needed school when school

02:08:06.680 came of it the supplies we had we had little ridiculous shirts and ties for a tie to school

02:08:14.300 like i was making a business deal um because that's what a caring loving parent does they're

02:08:25.500 not looking for a an angle they're not looking to screw someone over and utilize their kids 0.99

02:08:33.240 to to get something now they have so many iterations of welfare programs

02:08:43.520 and by the way there's no shame to it i'm not even talking about the people the people have

02:08:49.640 no shame they're yelling for more but there was a shame factor to handing over what were called

02:08:58.880 food stamps back in uh the day as i like to call it and if you were at a checkout in a supermarket

02:09:08.120 and you pulled those food stamps out oh the the people didn't want their faces to be seen they

02:09:13.760 were embarrassed and look some people genuinely needed them and um it was just embarrassing

02:09:21.400 embarrassment is a great or at least was a great motivator people used to not want to be embarrassed

02:09:31.560 i swear kids there's young people now watching going what but everyone wants to be embarrassed

02:09:39.440 now you yell at a mcdonald's you throw things around you argue with the cops you're on welfare

02:09:47.380 You have 20 kids. Don't people want to be embarrassed? No. Back then, people did not

02:09:53.360 even want to be embarrassed. I swear, look it up. So that's how it used to work. There was an

02:10:01.960 incentive to get off of welfare just because you felt bad being on welfare. Imagine that.

02:10:12.200 imagine that your feelings and your dignity was the drive behind wanting to get off of welfare

02:10:20.560 yeah swear now there is no embarrassment no pride no anything there's actually this is it

02:10:36.060 Where's where's mine?

02:10:37.160 I want more.

02:10:38.820 So now Trump, baby, if a bill, he's he's made it so that that people that are able to work.

02:10:49.620 Have to work.

02:10:51.420 I know.

02:10:52.580 Crazy.

02:10:53.240 It's like the gulag. 0.85

02:10:55.600 But that's what it is now.

02:10:58.880 And lo and behold, that lack of embarrassment I am telling you about.

02:11:03.400 There are people going online, putting themselves on video to complain that they are now required to work to either get a lower amount on their welfare or, you know, they're going to be cut off anyway.

02:11:23.520 The point here is you have to work.

02:11:28.180 You're able to.

02:11:28.980 if you're disabled you can still be on welfare snap whatever it is but if you are capable of 1.00

02:11:36.920 working you have to work and this is an injustice here's a woman angry angry and and putting her

02:11:48.940 face on the internet that she has to now work to get her benefits watch listen in two years i'm 0.59

02:11:57.060 going to lose my housing all because the guidelines for section eight have changed

02:12:03.960 since you know who got into office could you pause this for a second at the studio

02:12:09.980 did you hear what she said in two years i'll lose my housing could you imagine

02:12:20.240 you're you're you went through school maybe even college maybe you went into the trades

02:12:27.040 and it's not your parents you're living with but somehow some way you got two years of housing

02:12:36.840 for nothing for free to to build yourself up build up a nest egg uh build a career 1.00

02:12:45.580 just something that after that two years you have a launching point she's bitching that she only has 1.00

02:12:55.000 two years to do something with her life to to be a contributing member of society instead of a 1.00

02:13:04.080 burden and again not an ounce of of guilt or embarrassment putting her dumb frig face 1.00

02:13:12.160 online for everyone to see as she complains about this. 1.00

02:13:18.040 Let's continue.

02:13:19.620 That if you have a child that is school-aged,

02:13:23.280 meaning if you don't have to stay home with your child,

02:13:26.880 you have to be able to obtain employment,

02:13:30.600 have a full-time job,

02:13:33.060 and you cannot be on Section 8 past two years

02:13:36.820 unless you have a disability.

02:13:39.200 Can you believe that?

02:13:41.060 Yeah.

02:13:41.500 can you believe that yes i can um god forbid i have the stress of being a single mother

02:13:47.040 right um i have to depend on the government to help pave my way because pause again because

02:13:54.320 it's really hard raising a child this is another thing remember i don't know you know i i know i

02:14:01.700 probably skew a little older than i did when we were putting uh girls in 55 gallon drums and

02:14:06.640 dumping fish cuts on them so i'm assuming there's some people here who might remember something 1.00

02:14:12.080 called the 80s this woman is complaining about working and having kids and having to lead 1.00

02:14:27.780 a life that we all had to lead. This is what living in this country is. 0.99

02:14:39.300 You don't, you weren't supposed to just get a free ride. And back then there was this criteria

02:14:47.820 where you had to work and you were embarrassed by not working and earning and supporting

02:14:56.580 this family here's another thing about the 80s that uh something that was going on back then 0.98

02:15:04.920 there was this big push to empower single moms if you remember murphy brown had an episode of her

02:15:14.480 show where she uh was was going to be a single mom and the republicans and conservatives and

02:15:22.620 Dan Quayle, if you remember, lost their minds.

02:15:27.220 This is teaching the wrong thing to our kids.

02:15:31.340 A marriage, a husband, a wife, a father, a mother, and the kids is the best road to a

02:15:38.800 successful child, and everyone blew up at that.

02:15:43.480 I blew up at it.

02:15:44.240 I thought, like, who cares, whatever. 0.99

02:15:45.920 But when you have a woman like this that's having children and has been empowered by this illusion that single motherhood is just as good for everyone involved as a family with a mother and a father and a kid, well, it turned out to be crap, didn't it? 1.00

02:16:11.740 That turned out to be garbage. 1.00

02:16:14.140 This woman is dependent on a system of welfare 1.00

02:16:19.380 because she somehow decided that she needs to be a single mom. 1.00

02:16:25.920 And yeah, she decided. 0.86

02:16:27.540 She didn't make the proper choices.

02:16:30.520 And of course, some people, mistakes happen.

02:16:34.060 You know, pregnancies, breakups.

02:16:36.320 I get it.

02:16:37.320 But this is rampant. 0.85

02:16:39.300 stuff like this is rampant single motherhood and if you talk ill of it you're the problem

02:16:47.200 you're the the the whatever i don't even know what it is or phobe that falls under

02:16:54.080 let's hear a little more can we out on your own when the government is pretty much your baby daddy

02:17:01.860 you know baby um you know you're going to get that check every single month you know it's

02:17:07.720 going to hit every single month so you don't have to stress about it and now um in two years i'm not

02:17:14.800 going to be able to use the government assistance that i need that's great two years imagine getting

02:17:25.620 a two-year head start because you decided to make some crappy decisions in your life

02:17:31.780 and now you're dependent on taxpayers the government taxpayers me you all of us she 0.93

02:17:42.280 depends on us to raise her kids house her and her kids for the unbelievably short period of time 1.00

02:17:51.160 that is two years and she can't even fathom getting her crap together in a two-year period 1.00

02:18:01.700 to where she is self-sufficient she wants to remain on the government till for her entire 0.98

02:18:09.420 life and we're just supposed to go all right she's mad about it she's yelling at us about it

02:18:20.920 that's how insane it has gotten this has to be remedied this has to be remedied

02:18:29.640 I don't care how mean it sounds, you know, kids worked in coal mines.

02:18:37.040 There was something called the depression.

02:18:38.760 We need to bring that kind of horrible life back.

02:18:44.040 All right.

02:18:46.460 Back in a minute.

02:18:47.920 Anthony Cumi is job.

02:18:49.640 It's the Anthony Cumi a show on the red apple podcast network.

02:18:54.320 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:19:01.180 the anthony cumia show indeed thank you for tuning in every sunday don't we have fun i think we do

02:19:13.640 uh let's see let's uh judy how about judy in manhattan island what's up judy hi

02:19:23.380 A few years ago, I heard a congressman say on the radio that he thinks there should be a law that if you do not work, if you're on public assistance and you don't work and you're able to, then you should not be allowed to vote.

02:19:45.940 And they should consider that because when Obama was running for office, I was asking people, why are you voting for Obama?

02:19:59.960 And all I could hear is more welfare, more food stamps.

02:20:05.660 And when he got in, people were running around here telling me, did you get your Obama phone?

02:20:13.600 The Obama phone.

02:20:14.680 I remember that.

02:20:15.600 I got an Obama phone.

02:20:17.700 Oh, yeah, Judy.

02:20:18.920 I remember that.

02:20:20.880 And did you get this and did you that?

02:20:23.100 And I said, no.

02:20:24.720 Do you have, are you on welfare?

02:20:28.060 No.

02:20:28.480 You have Medicare, Medicaid?

02:20:31.460 No.

02:20:32.580 No.

02:20:33.940 Well, what do you have?

02:20:35.520 A job.

02:20:37.240 Yeah, a job.

02:20:38.540 I have a paycheck.

02:20:39.760 oh yeah it became this this just entitlement and like i said there was you know you got to

02:20:48.800 remember judy the embarrassment of being on welfare it was something that uh what was it

02:20:55.760 a movie or a show where some woman was complaining to a cop that uh or somebody that she couldn't

02:21:03.000 afford food for a kid and he goes go down to the police station sign up for welfare

02:21:08.100 it was an insult it was something that was you you did anything in your power you could possibly do

02:21:16.060 to avoid going on welfare and now it's become a generational thing like like a family career

02:21:24.640 where the grandma the mother the kids they all end up on welfare and never work a day in their life

02:21:31.200 and and they need someone they need to understand because when i ask them where does the money come

02:21:39.920 how does the government get the money to support them they don't know they don't realize and they

02:21:48.060 maybe they should stop calling it welfare and call it taxpayer funded yeah well they they never give

02:21:57.660 anything that the true name because they want it to sound uh better than it really is that's why

02:22:03.920 things are called the safe act and the you know patriot act uh all those things so if they actually

02:22:10.180 named it what it is people wouldn't like it it's like i don't want to be on that that sounds like

02:22:15.860 something people wouldn't appreciate me for so um yeah i get you judy hey thanks for the call uh

02:22:22.300 Judy, there she goes. 0.91

02:22:24.640 Judy in Manhattan.

02:22:26.060 Picture of the east side.

02:22:28.880 Just got a cat.

02:22:29.820 Let me give you some food.

02:22:32.000 I'm going to open a window so you could talk to your friends.

02:22:37.380 Mayor Adam slams Mamdani for wanting to, what do you think? 1.00

02:22:45.880 Yes, decriminalize prostitution.

02:22:48.220 he says i don't know where his quran where in his quran it states that's okay uh i don't care about

02:22:57.180 the religious angles on prostitution um obviously adams is going to go after that it's almost like 0.86

02:23:05.060 and i hate using the word a dog whistle perhaps it's something like oh he's he's a muslim 0.99

02:23:11.800 Well, prostitution, you wrap your women up like a jolly rancher. 1.00

02:23:16.540 Why would you want them to be prostitutes? 0.98

02:23:23.320 I am not for legalizing prostitution.

02:23:28.700 And I don't care that, you know, if you're a woman and, you know, you go out to dinner, a guy blows a few bucks on you, you reciprocate.

02:23:39.440 I'm kidding. 0.77

02:23:41.800 A guy blows a few bucks on you.

02:23:44.480 You know, it's a fine line sometimes between technically what's prostitution and what is just a guy spending money on you.

02:23:57.280 And that line varies.

02:23:59.480 It gets very gray in certain areas. 1.00

02:24:01.780 But prostitution is a terrible thing. 0.98

02:24:04.560 It's not the movies. 0.98

02:24:06.420 This isn't, you know, Richard Gere. 0.95
