00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game

00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.

00:00:07.520 Not anymore.

00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.

00:00:12.820 That's right.

00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,

00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:01.800 on the Red Apple Podcast

00:01:04.180 Network.

00:01:06.000 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:01:07.880 Thanks for tuning in. Another Sunday.

00:01:09.940 My God!

00:01:11.960 Do they just one after

00:01:14.040 another. And

00:01:15.900 yes, here we are again.

00:01:17.960 And I'm glad you're joining me.

00:01:20.500 Because another week

00:01:22.060 has gone by 1.00

00:01:23.500 Chock full, chock full of the type of nonsense, insanity, debauchery, and idiocy that we crave here on this program. 0.99

00:01:39.520 Well, as I was saying, the No Kings protests were yesterday. 0.99

00:01:47.220 Beautiful Saturday.

00:01:48.640 It looked like for the majority of the big cities that were hosting these,

00:01:54.480 the weather was pretty good.

00:01:56.240 I saw a lot of video, a lot of people, and a lot of aerial shots.

00:02:04.420 That's where the commonality between conservative Americans

00:02:14.100 and whatever the hell these people were that I saw at the No Kings protests yesterday.

00:02:22.040 That's where it ends.

00:02:23.420 The very high elevated drone shots of giant parks or streets in these big cities.

00:02:33.800 And then when you get down to street level, you realize, oh, these people are insane.

00:02:41.460 They don't know what they're doing.

00:02:44.100 They don't know why they're there. 0.97

00:02:46.420 They have to dress up in ridiculous costumes also. 0.89

00:02:52.780 And, boy, it is rare that you ever see conservatives marching for a cause. 0.67

00:02:59.840 You just, you know, you don't really see that.

00:03:04.240 But I swear to you, you will not get people dressed in inflatable dinosaur costumes

00:03:13.560 or dressed like various fruits and vegetables.

00:03:17.640 I don't even get half of the stuff they're doing.

00:03:21.660 A king, like no kings.

00:03:24.260 Okay, so what do you dress like?

00:03:26.640 You dress like someone from old England?

00:03:31.660 A serf or a subject or a court jester, perhaps?

00:03:37.540 Anything that would have something to do with a monarchy?

00:03:43.560 and your displeasure with this prospect that Trump somehow is a king,

00:03:49.380 we'll get into that because that makes no sense either.

00:03:53.940 But to watch some of these people and listen to them,

00:03:59.160 oh, it is painful, painful.

00:04:03.620 And what really did they accomplish here?

00:04:07.340 This is what they do all the time.

00:04:11.140 They get together.

00:04:13.280 These things are put together by organizations and people that are pretty high up in the world order.

00:04:24.080 George Soros, the finger has been pointed at him many times for having sponsored these things.

00:04:32.040 I mean, a lot of times these signs they're carrying are mass produced.

00:04:37.440 They're not these grassroots kind of homespun painted signs.

00:04:44.100 Some of them are. 0.94

00:04:45.760 I've seen those lunatics too. 0.82

00:04:48.960 But these events seem very organized, very choreographed.

00:04:57.340 You could get tens of thousands of people in cities from coast to coast.

00:05:02.200 Something has to be done to organize something like that.

00:05:06.260 So, and again, I don't see that being illegal.

00:05:11.940 You could do that.

00:05:13.960 But the truth of the matter is the people you get, they don't know what they're out there for.

00:05:22.040 They're not very good spokesmen for your cause.

00:05:27.160 And any time you see conservatives being to the point where they feel strongly enough about something to get out there and protest or at least make themselves known in public, march, get together, they're very educated on what they want to talk about.

00:05:47.460 um they they don't just show up uh not passionate about the cause and not knowing what they're

00:05:59.120 there for uh that's what these people do more important than anything else to them are the

00:06:04.560 numbers they love saying tens of thousands showed up in boston uh atlanta and chicago had

00:06:13.140 a hundred thousand people all they care about are the number of people but who are they really 0.93

00:06:22.240 getting a lot of them are mentally ill people they're mentally ill they're social outcasts 1.00

00:06:30.140 their attention whores they're just looking for anything to do on a saturday afternoon 1.00

00:06:37.840 except sitting alone in their home. 0.99

00:06:43.820 This gives them some purpose, even if it's not a purpose they really care about.

00:06:49.320 It's something.

00:06:50.940 Oh, good, I can hang around people. 0.99

00:06:53.580 I can talk and not just be told to shut up the second I open my dumb yap. 0.96

00:07:00.420 So, you know, those are the people you're getting. 0.98

00:07:02.620 You're getting quantity, but not really quality.

00:07:05.300 And when they say, you know, this is democracy, this is America, and they tried to paint this as some patriotic thing, because you rarely see lefties carrying American flags.

00:07:19.340 And this, too, was very choreographed and very ton in a way that was very obvious. 0.86

00:07:27.800 They wanted this, whoever the grand poobah is, to this latest protest. 0.94

00:07:36.400 I think it must have been discussed that, hey, we've got to make this seem patriotic. 0.99

00:07:42.540 And this is about America.

00:07:44.060 This isn't about something that, you know, we've had trouble trying to shove in people's faces like men in women's sports and having drag queen story time and no bail.

00:08:01.460 So criminals are running around our streets, deportations.

00:08:05.820 You know, that's another thing.

00:08:06.980 And there were plenty of them there.

00:08:08.560 But I didn't see a lot of Mexican flags like you see during the ICE protests.

00:08:13.180 so they were trying to bs everybody into saying all right this is america look at us we're the

00:08:20.120 patriots we're the patriotic americans we stand for the constitution and the rule of law and

00:08:30.000 they're walking around with american flags and they do not care one bit about the traditions

00:08:36.340 of america anything that had made america great over the course of the years they don't care

00:08:43.140 Not only do they not care, they despise it.

00:08:46.280 They hate America and what it was.

00:08:52.920 They've been trying to change America and our value system

00:08:58.420 and our ideals and things that we hold dear.

00:09:02.580 They've been trying to get those things canceled for quite some time now.

00:09:08.560 And now, with the No Kings protest, we're supposed to just forget all that

00:09:15.120 and believe that these are amongst the most patriotic, America-loving people you'll ever see? 0.99

00:09:26.460 It's so ham-handed and obvious that they're just phonies, liars, chameleons. 0.96

00:09:36.940 They try to mutate into whatever form they think the people want to see. 0.98

00:09:45.020 And fortunately for us, we're not that open to their nonsense.

00:09:56.160 And we don't see it and go, oh, maybe they are what America is all about.

00:10:03.080 We're not that easily manipulated.

00:10:05.860 we consider things

00:10:08.440 we think about things

00:10:09.720 we look at situations

00:10:12.400 and we're not

00:10:14.200 easily manipulated

00:10:15.780 we don't have the wool pulled over our eyes

00:10:18.500 very easy like they

00:10:20.460 do

00:10:20.840 they're a collection of sheep 0.99

00:10:23.780 dumb sheep 0.99

00:10:25.900 and they're able 1.00

00:10:28.460 to be manipulated

00:10:30.460 into whatever the powers

00:10:32.480 that be at the time need them

00:10:34.540 to be

00:10:35.100 so these are the same people we saw recently uh throwing throwing things at law enforcement

00:10:44.080 holding america or uh mexican flags burning american flags and then they're told you know

00:10:52.440 oh this time we're we're americans we will show you what democracy in america is all about

00:10:59.740 so then they tell them that and they go oh okay so i burn this no no dummy you hold it up

00:11:06.380 on a flagpole and you you praise it yeah but i was but i was just burning it yeah yeah that was

00:11:15.700 like two weeks ago this time now you got to be happy about it you love it and you walk around 0.99

00:11:22.500 with the American flag oh okay oh okay I think I got it and who doesn't see it how dumb do you 0.94

00:11:32.680 have to be to not see what they're doing this was because they want to show how effective 0.83

00:11:41.960 protesting is and protesting of course is one of our God-given rights as Americans

00:11:49.700 And in order to do it, especially on a large scale like this, you have to let everyone watching you protest.

00:11:57.400 You have to let them believe that you believe in things like the First Amendment and your freedom to protest and to congregate and to speak out against the government.

00:12:14.920 Meanwhile, every other protest they've had has been completely against

00:12:19.380 what the Constitution stands for and what our rights actually are. 0.84

00:12:24.280 So again, they're chameleons, they're shapeshifters. 0.95

00:12:29.220 Whatever they need for that day, they'll put the word out 1.00

00:12:33.360 and their useful idiots will show up and perform like the marionettes that they are. 1.00

00:12:39.580 All right, I see the phones are loaded. 1.00

00:12:41.220 We've got plenty to talk about as far as this goes and other things.

00:12:45.060 So don't you go anywhere.

00:12:46.600 I'm warning you.

00:12:47.800 Hey, I'm warning you, Mo.

00:12:49.780 We'll be right back with more of The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:12:52.460 It's The Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:12:58.280 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:13:03.820 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:13:07.300 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.

00:13:10.380 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.

00:13:15.360 That's how we protect Ontario.

00:13:17.400 For all of us.

00:13:19.460 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash Safer Ontario.

00:13:22.560 Paid for by the Government of Ontario.

00:13:28.720 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:13:34.920 Yes, it is.

00:13:36.880 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:13:37.860 And talking about the No Kings protest, uh-oh, I'm sure it really shook up Donald J. Trump and his cabinet and supporters.

00:13:52.840 I don't know.

00:13:54.540 A lot of people, I saw a lot of coverage, a lot of people saying they're making a difference, they're getting out, they're doing something.

00:14:03.720 Finally, they felt like they were actually contributing and making a difference

00:14:09.220 with all those people that showed up on Saturday afternoon yesterday.

00:14:15.260 So I don't know.

00:14:16.580 You know, I'm down here in South Carolina.

00:14:19.740 I don't know.

00:14:21.060 Maybe things changed after this event.

00:14:25.320 So I went to the only person I can really trust these days.

00:14:30.120 X has an AI.

00:14:33.080 called grok so i went to grok and i asked uh grok i said hey grok it's the day after the no kings

00:14:41.220 protest who is the president of the united states and grok without missing a beat donald trump is

00:14:47.280 currently the president of the united states on october 19th 2025 he was inaugurated for his

00:14:53.020 second non-consecutive term as 47th president on january 20th 2025 after winning the 2024 election

00:14:59.480 This makes him the second U.S. president to serve two non-consecutive terms

00:15:03.680 following Grover Cleveland in the 1880s and 1890s.

00:15:08.660 So, yeah, I guess it didn't do anything.

00:15:13.340 He's still in charge.

00:15:17.260 What did they think?

00:15:19.720 What did they hope to accomplish with this?

00:15:23.440 Because it's like no kings.

00:15:25.700 Well, Trump isn't a king. 1.00

00:15:28.500 I mean, you have to be a complete moron to think he's a king. 1.00

00:15:34.500 And he's trying to be a king. 1.00

00:15:37.220 Everything he's done, he has talked about during his campaign.

00:15:41.640 These were campaign promises.

00:15:43.840 He won every swing state.

00:15:48.700 Do kings have to do that?

00:15:49.960 Win swing states?

00:15:51.380 He won the popular vote.

00:15:53.580 He won the electoral college vote.

00:15:55.960 and um and he he became the president for the second time and they just don't like what he's

00:16:06.240 doing so they can't imagine he's the president he can't be we vote for president and we don't like

00:16:16.020 what this guy's doing so he must not be the president they live in such a bubble and they

00:16:22.300 see these protests and if you see 10 000 people in a city you have this misconception that the

00:16:29.720 entire country must think like you and this group think because it's such a huge huge crowd 1.00

00:16:38.160 uh they're very short-sighted and they're they're stupid so they don't quite understand that there's 1.00

00:16:46.000 a lot of people in this country and a lot of people that don't go out into the streets and 1.00

00:16:50.480 into parks and and voice their opinions they live their lives and they vote during elections and they

00:16:57.040 they uh hope for the best and uh for trump supporters 24 24 him winning was the best

00:17:04.160 case scenario and they just can't imagine that happened he must be a king because i don't like

00:17:11.300 what he's doing uh well sorry that is the way things work john legend the wonderful john legend

00:17:20.080 said uh trump voters are regretting their decision to vote for trump and again this is

00:17:28.260 the same nonsense we'll hear because they see these giant crowds of people around the country

00:17:33.520 not realizing that the people that voted for trump dwarf these crowds of people uh and but 1.00

00:17:42.020 john legend is another one of these idiots and he looks and goes oh it looks like trump voters are 0.99

00:17:47.160 regretting their decision to vote for trump um maybe dave smith i know dave smith and uh he said 1.00

00:17:58.100 he regrets voting for and and pushing for donald trump other than him i don't know one person

00:18:05.800 in my circle of people and the people that i communicate with on social media that have said

00:18:12.040 oh boy oh boy i'm regretting my decision to vote for trump uh it's not happening but again this

00:18:19.500 this bubble vision that they have when you're standing in a giant crowd of of insanely dressed

00:18:27.720 lunatics you kind of get caught up in it believe uh the hype but uh that's not the case and again

00:18:36.320 i'll get back to what did they accomplish well they got an afternoon out like i said the weather 0.99

00:18:41.000 looked nice and um they hung around with like-minded um idiots showed their signs 0.99

00:18:51.460 they felt for a moment like they were doing something making a difference and um yeah that's 0.99

00:18:59.900 it and then where does it go like what happens the day after the the no kings rally well we all

00:19:08.160 go back to our ways and it's it was just like a it was like one of those no nukes concerts years

00:19:13.360 ago yeah we're gonna do something and then you're like meh or are you they actually were more

00:19:19.340 effective there aren't many nuclear power plants in this country but i don't think it was from

00:19:24.580 the hippies and jackson brown yelling about nuclear facilities i think three mile island

00:19:31.060 and chernobyl may have had a say in the matter but it is like those things but the the difference is

00:19:37.900 when you look at what people protested years ago it was something that a national outcry might

00:19:45.480 change uh what is this like saying trump's a king when he's not a king what does that accomplish

00:19:52.940 and then what's your next are you trying to get him out of office you tried that his entire first

00:19:58.880 term and then in between you tried to get him uh arrested convicted which you did and then

00:20:07.420 imprisoned, which, thank God, didn't happen.

00:20:11.120 And then this time, you're taking every step you can to prevent him from doing the job

00:20:19.540 he was elected to do.

00:20:22.020 This isn't protesting something like the war, man, or no nukes, man.

00:20:29.300 You know, there are and there were nuclear power plants and plans to build nuclear power

00:20:36.100 plants back in the 70s and 80s and people protested it they didn't want you know i lived on long

00:20:42.980 island i remember uh they wanted to build the shoreham nuclear power plant and every every week

00:20:48.640 there was some protest and central park they'd have the no nukes concert with all the tree hugging

00:20:55.020 fruits would come out and play and uh but there were nuclear power plants and people didn't like

00:21:03.120 them and they didn't want them in their neighborhoods and they protested but so what

00:21:08.840 is this there isn't a king trump he isn't breaking laws with his policies he's hurting your feelings

00:21:18.000 and and they feel like that's enough to go out and protest when there's no end game to it the

00:21:26.380 end game to vietnam protesting that was to end the war and america was very tired of the war and

00:21:32.320 Nixon knew, I can't win an election on continuing this war.

00:21:37.540 And the people had, you know, a say in the matter, in their protesting.

00:21:43.420 No nukes, I just talked about what that was.

00:21:45.500 These were real things.

00:21:48.520 Trump's meme with a crown on his head and that big red king cloak isn't real.

00:21:57.100 He's not a king.

00:21:59.200 So protesting isn't doing anything. 1.00

00:22:02.320 But they're idiots. 1.00

00:22:04.800 They're imbeciles. 1.00

00:22:06.000 They'll go out there and feel like they're making a difference. 1.00

00:22:10.520 On the other side of the break we're going to take here is some of the people,

00:22:16.240 some of the no-king's-foot soldiers that took to the fields and the streets,

00:22:22.080 and they are questioned by some journalists out there why they're protesting,

00:22:28.400 what they hope to achieve, what has Trump done to anger them,

00:22:32.220 So these are great.

00:22:34.220 Stick around for that.

00:23:29.620 uh weekend yesterday actually and um and let's uh let's go to the phones see what the people

00:23:36.560 think about it tony clifton new jersey what's up tony hi anthony i love your show um i love your

00:23:43.520 pro america it's it really warms my heart so talking about the bubble being in a bubble it

00:23:50.280 was a beautiful day yesterday and i headed toward upper montclair i'm in clifton and i see this

00:23:56.180 scruffy looking ragamuffin senior and i can say it because i'm a senior all scruffy scruffy signs

00:24:03.000 saying no kings and i was headed to the bank and i thought what a great way to ruin the day you know 0.99

00:24:08.720 just a slap on the street with a stupid sign and you know what i thought anthony i thought they're 0.99

00:24:13.880 definitely stuck in a time warp they have no identity of their own they exaggerate numbers 1.00

00:24:18.640 like you say. There's one little Warsaw looking awful. And what was she thinking? Was she trying 0.84

00:24:24.140 to say King George? If you mean King George, then say King George. If you mean no Martin Luther King,

00:24:30.220 say no Martin Luther King. Is that who you mean? So it really was kind of pathetic. And

00:24:35.740 it shows how the Democrats are picking from the Constitution. They're picking from history

00:24:42.200 because they're stuck in the Civil War, we know. They haven't gotten over the Civil War.

00:24:46.760 And obviously they haven't gotten over King George III.

00:24:50.920 So is that who you mean, King George?

00:24:52.860 That's what I wanted to say.

00:24:54.620 No, Tony, you definitely make a good point.

00:24:58.120 And also I noticed something just when you were saying that.

00:25:02.560 We will look at those people and actually feel bad for them.

00:25:07.620 Like you look at someone like that and think, wow, you're ruining your afternoon. 1.00

00:25:12.360 You're kind of pathetic. 1.00

00:25:13.940 You use the word pathetic and everything. 1.00

00:25:15.700 That's how we see them and talk about them. 0.95

00:25:19.000 Meanwhile, if you were going to something patriotic that you were passionate about, you were wearing an American flag hat or a MAGA hat, God forbid, they wouldn't just look at you and go, oh, boy, oh, what's this guy doing?

00:25:32.800 You would be yelled at, called out for it, and possibly even assaulted for your take on it.

00:25:38.180 That really shows the difference between the two Americas that are going on right now. 0.72

00:25:45.400 Exactly. 0.89

00:25:46.360 Yeah.

00:25:46.720 Exactly.

00:25:47.400 And what do they stand for? 0.99

00:25:49.480 Transgender, pro-Hamas, pro-illegal, pro-crime. 1.00

00:25:53.440 And this is what they're standing there, stupid, no-kingsled for. 1.00

00:25:56.480 They're all over the place. 1.00

00:25:58.460 Thank you, Tony.

00:26:01.020 Can I get that off of there?

00:26:03.100 Oh, you've got to click the continue button on my phone screen.

00:26:06.680 That silly continue thing.

00:26:08.340 Don't worry, Tony.

00:26:09.480 We'll get ready in a second.

00:26:11.800 Don't fret.

00:26:12.960 There we go.

00:26:15.400 All right.

00:26:16.040 Hey, take another call, though, because a lot of people want to hear about this.

00:26:21.840 Again, in New Jersey, Jay, Jay from Jersey.

00:26:24.420 What's up, my friend?

00:26:26.620 Hey, Anthony.

00:26:27.420 Thanks for taking my call.

00:26:28.700 You know, I heard an interesting, you know, I was listening to Fox on Friday,

00:26:33.840 and I heard Greg Gutfeld say that you can't spell no kings without no kin

00:26:39.240 because a lot of these people simply have no family. 0.97

00:26:43.480 And, you know, I think that their barren personal lives are definitely reason to be caught up in such a moronic kind of ideology. 0.77

00:26:54.000 And aside from that, you know, besides for indoctrinating these, you know, poor people with their hate-filled ideology, 0.95

00:27:01.840 you also have the crazy people that are mobilized under their clear directives, and they're told to go hurt people and hurt conservatives, and they actually do that.

00:27:11.980 And I strongly believe that the Democrats in power know this, and they're doing it on purpose.

00:27:18.980 And that, to me, is the biggest threat.

00:27:20.960 You cannot have one political party actively calling for the killing of ICE agents, for the killing of conservatives, and that's what's happening.

00:27:29.380 Yeah, that's what we've seen.

00:27:30.880 I mean, there's a video of it.

00:27:32.640 It's up there.

00:27:33.340 It's out there for people to see. 0.70

00:27:34.480 uh calling for uh ice agents to be dispatched by violent means and uh they're they're happy

00:27:44.220 about they don't even say it uh covering their face or or or they're they're embarrassed by

00:27:49.980 what they're saying and they get cheers from the crowds in front of them and then when they're

00:27:54.320 called out uh for their violent rhetoric perhaps being responsible for some of the

00:27:59.640 violent acts and even murders and assassinations we see they can't imagine there what are you

00:28:05.080 talking about you're the violent ones you're the ones that are uh trying to uh uh incite

00:28:11.900 violence and and murder yeah anthony you heard don lemon don let don lemon was what he said you

00:28:21.040 know you know your second amendment rights if somebody comes to your door and they want to

00:28:25.560 take you away you should use their your gun on them and he's talking about ice officers and that's

00:28:31.220 an open call to violence and the fact that he if he doesn't get investigated for that you know i

00:28:37.020 don't know i don't know what should be invested you know yeah and i don't know um i don't know 0.70

00:28:41.980 how much illegal immigrants are able to enjoy the second amendment right that we enjoy here in in 0.79

00:28:49.280 this country i think you're going up the road up or down the river down the river i would believe 0.93

00:28:54.980 after crossing the river illegally you're going down the river if you shoot at a ice agent coming

00:29:01.540 to your house to deport you if you're illegal i don't know how how much that second amendment

00:29:06.500 is going to help you out so jay thank you so much and uh let's let's play a couple of clips

00:29:13.220 from these wonderful people the boots on the ground for the no kings uh protest here's a lady 1.00

00:29:20.600 This woman was dressed like a nut. 1.00

00:29:24.400 She's in some flowing butterfly dress with big monarch butterfly wings material. 1.00

00:29:32.600 And she's got a sign.

00:29:34.160 And it's like the only monarchs we want are butterflies. 1.00

00:29:38.460 One of these butterfly nut women. 0.99

00:29:41.620 And so this person decides to ask her a few questions about what she's doing there. 0.99

00:29:47.760 And here's her response.

00:29:50.600 take this as your sign to go just get out there and go this summer at best western get 1 000

00:29:59.880 bonus points and a chance to win 250 000 bonus points life's a trip make the most of it at

00:30:06.040 bestwestern.com no additional purchase necessary for sweeps see bonus point t's and c's and sweeps

00:30:10.140 rules for details what has president trump done to make him a monarch uh he started to take

00:30:17.740 take control and do illegal things and that are not within his power so that's pretty much what

00:30:25.160 makes a person a monarch they take complete control even though they should have it what

00:30:29.380 illegal things has he done come here so she calls a friend over to help her things everything that

00:30:37.760 he has done everything except for um get elected every single thing since he's gotten into office 0.56

00:30:43.740 so deporting illegal immigrants is that illegal deporting illegal immigrants if they're here

00:30:50.620 peacefully yes if they're illegally here though if they came illegally if they came here illegally

00:30:57.300 i believe we're a country that stands for lady liberty it said give me your tired your um

00:31:04.040 give me everybody you can possibly bring into the united states and it doesn't say

00:31:09.720 ship them back out it says welcome awesome any other issues any issues in particular that you

00:31:17.540 really disagree with trump on no because you're just baiting me have a nice day oh no i was just 0.99

00:31:23.440 asking you're baiting me see they get they get so frustrated because they're so dumb they're so 0.99

00:31:32.220 uninspired by what they're doing. 0.99

00:31:37.220 It's based purely on emotion and their motives are so they could tell their

00:31:43.360 friends and their children.

00:31:45.640 Guess what I did? 1.00

00:31:47.200 It's a lot of old people. 1.00

00:31:49.780 This movement is jam packed with old people. 1.00

00:31:55.340 Remember things like Occupy Wall Street. 1.00

00:31:57.340 It was a bunch of young people camping out in New York City by Wall Street. 0.99

00:32:01.340 And they're usually Black Lives Matter was a younger movement with both white and black young people rioting, looting, assaulting people, if we remember. 0.88

00:32:15.220 This one is so odd. 0.99

00:32:18.440 They've just emptied the retirement homes and the hospice centers.

00:32:24.840 and they got these old bags to carry signs and chant slogans

00:32:31.060 and they don't know what they're talking about.

00:32:33.720 They have no idea what they're talking about.

00:32:37.520 They're so out of touch with everything.

00:32:39.780 But again, it's only numbers.

00:32:42.040 All they want is to say thousands of Americans came out to show

00:32:46.760 how unhappy they are with King Trump.

00:32:50.840 And, you know, it's nonsense.

00:32:53.180 And then she starts trying to read the Statue of Liberty thing.

00:32:58.180 Give us your tired, everyone.

00:33:03.840 So if you're a little sleepy, her take is if you're anywhere in the world

00:33:08.760 and you're dozing, you're a little sleepy, just come over here.

00:33:13.180 Come here. 0.96

00:33:14.900 What about wretched refuse?

00:33:16.680 What happened to that one?

00:33:17.720 So many people believe the plaque that was added to the Statue of Liberty much later

00:33:25.240 is some legal binding document that somehow is tied in to our Constitution.

00:33:36.020 It's not. 0.98

00:33:37.680 It's a dumb plaque that they screwed on to Lady Liberty. 0.99

00:33:43.340 Thanks, France. 0.98

00:33:44.680 Thanks for that great gift.

00:33:46.000 and uh they really think it has some type of legal status all right here's another one this

00:33:54.240 one there's so many and i could only get a few of them but uh here's another one no clue a a

00:34:02.040 no kings and i said it before no kings more like no clue here's the protester um let's just listen

00:34:10.200 the stories tell themselves no king's day and why specifically are you out supporting no king's day

00:34:18.600 i think protest is important why are you protesting um how much time do you have

00:34:27.100 a couple minutes hey what's the main reason you're out here protesting president trump

00:34:32.500 with a lot of the decisions that are being made okay is there any decision in particular you

00:34:37.760 disagree with where okay so i i would start with um well well um i don't even think i don't even

00:34:51.760 think it's appropriate for me to have this interview so what brings you out today

00:34:55.460 that fit the bill whenever i watch these they have it's like it's scripted they they walk up 0.99

00:35:07.740 A guy will interview one of these idiots, ask them a question, and then they won't give an answer. 1.00

00:35:14.880 So the guy's got to kind of dig a little deeper. 1.00

00:35:17.160 Oh, I think protesting is very important.

00:35:19.180 Okay, that's an answer.

00:35:21.260 She feels protesting is an important thing that we do here in this country.

00:35:25.580 All right.

00:35:26.660 Why are you protesting then?

00:35:28.920 Like in this instance, why did you decide to come down for this?

00:35:34.840 Oh, well, I don't agree with a lot of his policies.

00:35:38.540 What policy?

00:35:40.640 How much time you got?

00:35:42.520 That is the same as so many, oh, my God, where do I start?

00:35:49.000 If I got to explain it to you, then you don't know because there's so many.

00:35:53.300 Or what she says, oh, how much time you got?

00:35:57.440 There's so many.

00:35:58.740 All they're ever asking for is one.

00:36:01.960 give me one example and they are incapable of coming up with a single thing it's embarrassing

00:36:12.760 it's hilarious and it really is uh so common with these people i honestly don't believe i've ever

00:36:22.540 heard ever heard one person out of any of these protests the ones i talked about earlier black

00:36:28.580 lives matter all these protests i i don't think i've heard one protester speak in a a reasonable

00:36:36.700 civil tone to the person interviewing them and have some type of of rational well thought out

00:36:48.760 articulate response to a question they run away and you know they try to blame the person asking

00:36:58.400 questions they're baiting them you're trying to trap me or trick me into saying something are you 0.99

00:37:05.080 that stupid by the way yes the answer is absolutely yes they are but to blame the the person with the 0.99

00:37:12.900 microphone asking you you took it upon yourself to leave your house give up a day of whatever 1.00

00:37:20.540 you were gonna do can't imagine it was anything fun uh and come down and you can't come up with

00:37:29.340 one reason why you're actually there what impassioned you to go out to join up with

00:37:36.700 this crowd of people and and add your body to these numbers they can not tell you they do not

00:37:47.300 know why they're there they're there for the for the hangout it's like uh who is that tony before

00:37:54.480 saying that on the phone it's people that don't have anything to do they they feel alienated 0.97

00:38:02.980 they're outcasts their families have disowned them unless their whole family are mentally ill 0.66

00:38:11.640 libs like them but you don't really see that every family has a couple of them but it's very rare 0.99

00:38:19.140 that you'll see an entire family of lunatics lunatic lefties like this and they're made fun 0.52

00:38:25.640 of by their family they're they're kind of outcasts they bring them in we had a couple of them at our 0.97

00:38:31.120 family dinners over the course of the years kind of hippie-ish back in the 70s and then in the 90s

00:38:37.440 It was something else.

00:38:39.300 And, you know, they sit down for dinner at the table, and he got me.

00:38:45.700 Yeah, I'm not going to keep my mouth shut about social issues.

00:38:50.160 And my Uncle Tony and my brother Joe, and we're just going off and laughing our asses off.

00:38:56.260 And they are horrified at what we're saying.

00:39:00.420 They can't sit there.

00:39:02.080 And then we want them to talk.

00:39:03.960 Like, please tell us another one of your funny liberal ideological stories.

00:39:11.140 So, you know, they're the ones that self alienate.

00:39:15.540 They exile themselves from anybody with an ideology that isn't theirs.

00:39:20.960 And it's even worse if it's a more conservative ideology.

00:39:25.820 So they're lonely.

00:39:28.080 They're lonely.

00:39:29.660 And then they see these events that they can go to,

00:39:35.000 and while they don't really know anything about the event

00:39:39.920 or the issues behind this event, they just want to be part of something

00:39:44.000 because for the rest of the days of the year, they're social outcasts.

00:39:52.760 And it's an interesting social experiment to watch.

00:39:57.960 I'll give you that.

00:39:59.660 But other than that, it's sad.

00:40:02.440 And we can look at it with pity, because I think we do. 1.00

00:40:07.300 When you see some of these people, especially the dumb old boomers, 1.00

00:40:11.640 you know, it's very easy to just go, oh, look at this jackass. 1.00

00:40:15.740 Look at this dummy. 0.99

00:40:17.420 He's in his little condo in the villages. 0.93

00:40:19.940 That's one they point out all the time in Florida, the villages.

00:40:23.280 And all it reminds me of is Del Boca Vista from Seinfeld. 1.00

00:40:29.160 The old people, they all go to Del Boca Vista. 1.00

00:40:33.340 And, you know, they get them out, and they're wearing crowns on their head 1.00

00:40:37.580 because somebody, somebody organizes this

00:40:42.040 and decides they're going to put little crowns on their heads

00:40:45.580 and give them signs.

00:40:47.620 They're not at their little retirement villages community painting the signs.

00:40:53.340 They hand them out, and they're happy.

00:40:56.860 oh my god, they couldn't be happier

00:40:59.740 to be let out

00:41:01.200 let out into the wild

00:41:03.700 one more time

00:41:04.780 with their walkers

00:41:06.820 and their hurricane with the headlight

00:41:09.400 and their catheters

00:41:10.940 and their hearing aids

00:41:14.320 and they

00:41:15.700 walk out of these places with a

00:41:17.720 mission, a purpose

00:41:19.980 to meet people

00:41:22.180 that they don't know, that won't turn

00:41:24.020 their backs and tell them to shut up

00:41:26.860 It's the greatest thing.

00:41:29.060 But is that doing anything for the cause?

00:41:32.820 Of course it isn't.

00:41:34.880 For all of them, it's a day out. 0.96

00:41:36.980 A day out where the public at large isn't calling them dumb, 0.99

00:41:44.100 telling them to shut up, shunning them, 0.99

00:41:47.260 giving them a wide berth on the sidewalk.

00:41:51.220 They get to feel like they're normal for a day,

00:41:55.460 Like their beliefs and how they express themselves are actually normal and accepted in society. 0.98

00:42:04.420 But that society is a giant group of nuts just like them. 0.55

00:42:11.260 It's a fantastic expose of when you put enough mental patients in one spot, how they react to each other in their total belief that they're all normal. 0.93

00:42:25.460 And then we look in and go, let me take a look. 0.99

00:42:29.960 Oh, yeah, they're all crazy. 1.00

00:42:31.980 They're all crazy and should not be engaged in public. 1.00

00:42:38.200 All right. 1.00

00:42:39.160 Oh, my goodness gracious.

00:42:40.540 Plenty, plenty more where that came from.

00:42:43.620 Stick around.

00:42:44.560 The Anthony Cumia Show continues.

00:42:46.820 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:42:52.820 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:42:55.460 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:42:58.940 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:43:00.860 Let's go right to the phones.

00:43:02.440 Norman over there in Brooklyn.

00:43:04.280 What's up, Norman?

00:43:05.760 Yeah, hi, Anthony.

00:43:07.060 Okay, I'm the flip side of these lefty protesters.

00:43:12.220 I took part for four years when the world fell apart in 2020.

00:43:17.840 I took part in a lot of anti-mandate protests

00:43:22.000 to, you know, so that I could go to a bar, first to go to a bar, and then second to go

00:43:28.880 to a bar without having to show my, you know, my papers, you know, and then, and that progressed

00:43:35.980 to Drag Queen Story Hour in public libraries for children protests, and I also took part

00:43:42.820 in pro-life protests, and anyway, if you would ask any member of the group, New York Freedom

00:43:50.020 rally um if you had asked any of them why they're there they could they would tell you quite

00:43:55.460 eloquently the reason they were there right um it was and and yet and this is the point i'm making

00:44:02.880 yet uh when i turn on uh the media the the legacy media none of them would report on rallies that i

00:44:11.740 had that i took part in that were sometimes we had only a few hundred right but uh always had

00:44:19.520 I would say at least 500 people, but it could go up to eight or 10,000 people.

00:44:24.980 OK, we had this one, which the police unions took part in because they were going to fire.

00:44:31.040 Well, the media obviously wasn't going to cover it.

00:44:33.660 That's not their their agenda.

00:44:35.560 So they weren't going to cover.

00:44:36.740 Right. It's not their agenda.

00:44:37.760 So when I turned on ABC News last night, not because I was watching ABC News, but because I wanted to watch Alabama, Tennessee.

00:44:45.120 And I hear Joe Torres talk about the No Kings rally

00:44:49.580 He said there were 100,000 people in the Manhattan rally

00:44:53.120 100,000 people

00:44:54.220 I am telling you, Anthony, as somebody who has helped organize some rallies

00:44:59.100 Who has taken part in rallies to include the big one on January 6th

00:45:04.420 In which we had anywhere from a half

00:45:05.760 I didn't organize it, but took part in

00:45:08.060 Anywhere from a half a million to a million people

00:45:10.120 I can tell you that a rally in New York City, in Manhattan

00:45:13.500 with 100,000 people, which is what they said on the news,

00:45:17.020 would shut Manhattan down.

00:45:18.380 Yeah, that absolutely was not 100,000 people.

00:45:21.960 No.

00:45:22.400 Norman, Norman, you got to finish up here so we can move on.

00:45:29.960 Yeah.

00:45:30.620 Okay.

00:45:30.940 That's my point.

00:45:32.340 All right.

00:45:32.700 Well, thank you, Norman.

00:45:34.420 Norman.

00:45:36.320 Yeah, you know, people get a little wordy.

00:45:39.080 What are you going to do?

00:45:39.720 uh let's uh let's play a little um adam schiff adam schiff this guy i mean

00:45:47.920 traitor you know he's done things over the course of the years uh the lying that came out of the

00:45:57.760 russiagate thing his is talking about the indisputable evidence against donald trump 0.98

00:46:04.980 Russian collusion and you know nothing they give him a little now now naughty naughty but will he

00:46:14.500 face any real consequence this is the indictment I really want to see Adam Schiff but here he is

00:46:21.320 on the no kings whatever it was so I'm here for no kings day watching all these thousands and

00:46:30.680 Thousands of people marching, protesting, speaking out, saying we will have no kings, fighting for our democracy.

00:46:38.220 And as I was just saying with my colleague Cory Booker, this is what democracy looks like.

00:46:43.700 It looks like all of you. It looks like millions of people around the country coming together, speaking out, saying we are going to defend our way of life, our democracy.

00:46:53.060 We will never allow a dictator in this country.

00:46:55.500 So thank you, America, for showing up in such big numbers today and speaking out.

00:47:00.960 As one of the signs here today said, silence is compliance.

00:47:05.700 And I would say silence is complicity.

00:47:07.960 We have to all speak out.

00:47:09.500 We have to defend this incredible legacy we've been given by our parents and grandparents.

00:47:14.360 So thank you for coming out here today.

00:47:16.680 Thank you all over America for speaking out.

00:47:20.340 Pencilneck geek.

00:47:21.360 he uh he he was you know reading off the script which was you know democracy this is what democracy 0.52

00:47:31.020 looks like the chance how you get a bunch of muppets together to chant you got some head 1.00

00:47:39.320 moron with a bullhorn and your muppet dummies repeating everything you say what a what a 1.00

00:47:46.880 weak-willed person to do something like that. 1.00

00:47:50.840 What a group, dumb group mentality thing to do. 0.99

00:47:57.640 But Adam Schiff, you know, this is what they do. 0.99

00:48:00.460 This is what democracy looks like.

00:48:02.400 This is people, Americans, defending their,

00:48:05.900 oh, now they're all for America.

00:48:09.160 And again, no kings.

00:48:10.980 There isn't a king.

00:48:12.780 They're protesting and asking for something

00:48:14.960 that isn't there anyway.

00:48:42.000 We've got more than a quarter of a million people already, and I can see it's growing.

00:48:46.860 We're out here today to really just say that Donald Trump, his authoritarian tendencies,

00:48:52.460 what he's trying to do is absolutely wrong.

00:48:55.560 We have a nation right now where people, their ability to meet their everyday needs

00:48:59.380 grow more and more difficult.

00:49:01.100 We have a president who doesn't seem to care.

00:49:03.100 Frankly, just continued corruption.

00:49:05.040 It's all about his own pockets.

00:49:07.340 This is wrong.

00:49:08.660 It has to be about everyday Americans.

00:49:11.060 what's wrong what is he doing like a king you just don't agree with what a legally elected 0.94

00:49:19.400 president is doing that doesn't make him a king it makes you a whiny crybaby that doesn't 0.71

00:49:26.180 understand the type of uh system we have here in america oh my god so much more we got calls we got

00:49:34.320 other uh clips to play and um after uh the top of the hour break we will be back with more of the

00:49:41.920 show it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network it's the anthony cumia show on the

00:50:07.100 protesting god knows there isn't a king trump is not a king he's he's lawfully executing

00:50:17.160 uh the the policies that he ran on this this is what he's doing and once again the liberals show

00:50:27.680 that they are an emotional bunch who have no clue how to deal with situations

00:50:35.360 where they are not being spoiled rotten.

00:50:38.440 If it's not going their way, something must be wrong.

00:50:43.120 Something must be illegal.

00:50:44.880 There must be something we can do about it.

00:50:47.500 No. 1.00

00:50:48.460 Sit down and shut up. 0.99

00:50:51.640 Remember that feeling? 1.00

00:50:53.000 The backseat of the car your dad's driving.

00:50:56.200 mom's in the front seat they're probably arguing and you're just mouthing off back there about 0.94

00:51:03.000 something that you want i want i want the and then your dad just turn around and go shut up 0.93

00:51:10.140 sit down there be quiet and you're like oh oh because you're a kid you're just packed with 0.99

00:51:19.500 emotion you don't you don't have the the potential you don't have the brain power to go all right

00:51:28.640 he's driving i'm being really annoying he's having a problem with the you know mom over here maybe

00:51:35.820 it's not the best time for me to start spouting off my wants and needs and desires and you know 0.98

00:51:43.560 Hey, shut up. 0.95

00:51:46.160 As a kid, it's frustrating. 0.99

00:51:48.460 And then you grow up and you kind of, you're supposed to anyway, realize that, oh, sometimes you just got to deal with things that if they're not going your way.

00:52:01.640 But they're incapable of this.

00:52:04.480 Oh, Donald Trump is doing things I don't like.

00:52:08.140 So it must be illegal.

00:52:09.760 It must be he's a king.

00:52:12.100 He's this. 1.00

00:52:13.560 Just shut up. 1.00

00:52:15.560 No. 0.99

00:52:16.720 He'll be president for three more years.

00:52:19.720 And, you know, I hope he continues doing what he's been doing,

00:52:23.880 especially as far as illegal immigration goes. 0.97

00:52:28.100 Immigration.

00:52:29.120 Because, you know, Biden and his administration opened the door.

00:52:36.400 You want to blame someone?

00:52:37.440 Blame Biden.

00:52:39.220 Trump's just cleaning up the mess he made.

00:52:41.780 And he's the bad guy.

00:52:43.560 But, yeah, there are a couple of more clips I wanted to get to really fast,

00:52:48.680 and then we'll wrap up the No Kings thing. 0.98

00:52:52.800 Here's the old boomers. 0.83

00:52:54.300 These are two old boomers, husband and wife, I guess.

00:52:59.020 You know, they've gone through all the things.

00:53:00.700 They watch, like, Fox News, and they buy everything on the commercials, 0.93

00:53:06.540 all of the old people stuff. 0.97

00:53:10.360 Insurance? 1.00

00:53:11.600 I don't want to talk about that.

00:53:13.560 Did you hear about Bob and Betty?

00:53:16.340 Why, what happened?

00:53:17.800 Well, Bob is gone. 0.57

00:53:19.540 What will Betty do?

00:53:21.460 Hi, I'm with the whatever insurance company.

00:53:24.720 They're such depressing commercials.

00:53:27.900 Or, you know, when I use a catheter, oh, jeepers. 1.00

00:53:32.380 So here's the old boomers. 1.00

00:53:34.180 They are a huge part of this No Kings thing and a lot of the current anti-Trump protests. 0.99

00:53:43.560 They're emptying out those retirement homes.

00:53:47.200 It's a retirement community. 0.98

00:53:50.880 Yeah, so listen to their old boomers take on no kings. 0.88

00:53:55.160 Well, there's a lot of reasons we're out, but largely because we are ashamed of our government right now.

00:54:00.980 And we are deeply concerned about what's happening in the United States.

00:54:06.560 And so we thought there's no more powerful antidote to what's happening than our voice.

00:54:15.720 So here we are.

00:54:17.280 I'm a disabled vet.

00:54:21.020 And I think institutions have made our country great.

00:54:26.200 And right now our institutions are being destroyed.

00:54:30.300 And if something isn't done to save them pretty soon, we may never get them back again.

00:54:36.560 What institutions?

00:54:40.060 What is he talking about?

00:54:42.400 The institutions that made America great are being torn down?

00:54:46.700 What?

00:54:47.760 You mean the waste?

00:54:49.380 The redundancy and waste?

00:54:51.380 And especially in the past four years where the Biden administration handed out federal jobs?

00:54:59.780 And programs and facilities like the Veterans Administration?

00:55:06.560 We're jam-packed with federal workers, five people for every job one person can do, or

00:55:15.760 more than that.

00:55:17.160 And then Trump gets in, they take a look around and go, woof, we could save a lot of money

00:55:21.880 here. 0.95

00:55:22.760 And then the dummies on the left say, oh, look, he's dismantling the Veterans Administration. 0.95

00:55:30.660 No. 0.96

00:55:31.680 He's getting rid of the incredible waste, the money that isn't going to the veterans.

00:55:38.860 It's going to redundant jobs so that Biden at some point could go,

00:55:44.500 look at our jobs, make a good wage, good job, good wage.

00:55:50.660 And when Trump and his people saw that, they go, yeah,

00:55:55.620 and that's not just the veterans' administration.

00:55:57.320 That's everything.

00:55:58.000 So when he starts cutting back on the waste, these boomers, they watch CNN and MSNBC and they go, oh, no, he's cutting programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

00:56:13.100 Yeah. 0.52

00:56:14.220 He's cutting the work staff that is draining these programs of their budget.

00:56:23.480 But, you know, they don't know.

00:56:26.200 They're old.

00:56:27.080 They don't, they're not computer savvy.

00:56:30.860 They're out of touch as far as what's really going on in the world.

00:56:35.500 And they're very easily manipulated by mainstream media.

00:56:39.140 They still think mainstream media is news.

00:56:43.880 They think it's honest.

00:56:45.020 They think it's Huntley Brinkley.

00:56:48.140 And Walter Cronkite, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening.

00:56:54.900 Donald Trump is a king.

00:56:58.020 They, you know, they still think that's what mainstream media is because they're old.

00:57:04.200 And, you know, it's painful to think that something you believed in so much for all your life was a lie.

00:57:14.460 It's easier to just push it out of the way and go, no, it wasn't.

00:57:18.780 And I'm going to still fight for, you know, whatever lie they were telling you.

00:57:24.680 So it's sad.

00:57:25.880 Again, we look at them, and we pity, and we think it's sad. 0.98

00:57:32.000 They look at our take on things, and they want to kill us. 0.97

00:57:37.360 So good luck with all that. 0.94

00:57:41.060 And then one more.

00:57:42.300 Here's a Connecticut representative, Rosa DeLoro, talking about no kings.

00:57:48.900 Let's listen to Rosa.

00:57:52.120 Let me cheer on SDIU.

00:57:54.100 We thank you for all that you do and all that you have done and will do in the future.

00:57:58.280 We count on you.

00:57:59.600 Today is a critical day and important today to see millions and millions of Americans stand up and say,

00:58:05.900 yes, we are no longer going to live with an administration that denies people their health care,

00:58:12.640 their public education, their way of life.

00:58:15.480 And we will have no kings in this country.

00:58:18.720 And we will fight against that and make sure that we have an America that stands up for the middle class, the working class, and the vulnerable people in this country.

00:58:30.640 So again, it has nothing to do with a king.

00:58:35.280 It's not a decree by the king to say we're not going to go with the Democrats' version of health care that they, by the way, tacked onto the government funding.

00:58:47.280 So the government shutdown is definitely on their backs. 0.71

00:58:52.560 They wanted to tag on these unbelievably costly and ineffective health care bills, some of which was being given to illegals. 0.65

00:59:06.900 All these Democrat policies, they go, oh, well, he's not agreeing with them. 0.77

00:59:13.280 He's not passing these bills.

00:59:15.920 He's not backing these Democrat bills.

00:59:18.900 So he must be a king.

00:59:22.900 That's what we're living with.

00:59:25.160 This is the country we're living in now.

00:59:28.340 And again, they see these numbers.

00:59:30.220 They just drag out as many people as they can.

00:59:33.300 It doesn't matter if they know what they're out there for.

00:59:36.340 If they're 100 years old, they bring their little kids with them

00:59:40.200 and tell them to hold up signs that say F Trump on it

00:59:44.300 and they're six years old.

00:59:45.920 and they say, wow, look how many people we got.

00:59:51.200 But the numbers don't mean anything if these aren't people

00:59:54.360 that are actually cognizant of what they're supposedly protesting.

01:00:00.640 We don't have a king.

01:00:02.160 No reason to protest kings.

01:00:05.060 We don't have one.

01:00:07.360 But, you know, that's where we are.

01:00:09.640 Hey, Chicago, I want to say hats off to the city of Chicago, Illinois.

01:00:15.920 18 shot, 4 killed this weekend

01:00:19.740 amazing work

01:00:22.040 amazing work for a city that

01:00:24.500 from what I hear, is fine

01:00:27.480 there's no problem

01:00:29.420 and the thought that Donald Trump would want to go in there

01:00:33.120 with some type of solution

01:00:35.580 to the violent crime problem

01:00:38.920 it's not a problem, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say problem

01:00:41.940 because it's not a problem

01:00:44.540 That's what the mayor and the governor say and, you know, other politicians and residents.

01:00:50.980 They say it's not a problem.

01:00:53.940 18 shot, four killed.

01:00:56.240 Again, that ratio is a testament to the amazing, amazing trauma surgeons in these Chicago hospitals.

01:01:07.860 because without them, the ratio, it would be a lot closer.

01:01:14.640 18 shot, four dead.

01:01:17.780 You're looking at doctors and science that has progressed,

01:01:23.220 experience with traumatic gunshot wounds.

01:01:26.580 These doctors are astounding, and they're the ones saving lives.

01:01:31.200 Not the politicians, that's for sure.

01:01:34.620 Not Mayor Johnson, not Pritzker.

01:01:37.860 they're doing everything in their power to make Chicago more dangerous,

01:01:44.560 more dangerous for its citizens,

01:01:46.800 because politically they don't want Trump to do anything to their cities.

01:01:52.100 We got it.

01:01:53.100 We're fine.

01:01:54.320 18 shot, 4 dead.

01:01:56.800 Back in a flash with more of the show.

01:01:59.200 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:05.480 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:02:07.860 on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show and um you know every week you know

01:02:16.500 it i toil i i torture myself i go through clips i try to find out who qualifies as clown of the

01:02:25.180 week the anthony cumia show presents the clown of the week is it one of the usual suspects is it a 0.85

01:02:34.460 hollywood buffoon like rosie o'donnell is it a politician maybe uh not this week this week we

01:02:43.780 go to cincinnati cincinnati and it is the police chief there teresa fiege is that her name um she 0.81

01:02:53.200 looks like a woman who has never ever enjoyed the company of a man uh this is very common 1.00

01:03:02.920 in police chiefs in big cities. 0.79

01:03:07.720 They seem to think that women who much more,

01:03:12.820 they enjoy the company of other women. 1.00

01:03:16.040 And they have to be a little elderly. 1.00

01:03:18.060 We're not looking for lipstick lesbians here. 1.00

01:03:20.300 We are looking for an older gal, gray hair, 1.00

01:03:27.700 cut in some form of mullet. 1.00

01:03:29.660 and uh that seems to be what they go for these days in your big city police departments as

01:03:36.900 police chief so um cincinnati has had a problem with violence with uh shootings and murders

01:03:44.500 and their downtown area and if you know anything about cincinnati and whatnot they like having

01:03:50.780 their downtown area for tourism because there isn't much going on in cincinnati uh so their

01:03:59.000 downtown area they like keeping it nice and it's been known to to pop off every so often some of

01:04:05.520 the teens the youth they go out there and they're beating on people and stomping heads and shooting

01:04:11.780 and what have you but uh boy teresa fiege that's her name if that's really your name

01:04:19.460 uh has a solution and it seems so simple why haven't more people especially lesbian police

01:04:26.680 chiefs thought of just doing this to solve the crime and violence problem. Let's listen to Police 0.74

01:04:35.040 Chief Teresa. And so my message to everybody, learn how to behave in our city, but especially

01:04:42.880 learn how to behave in our downtown and our Fountain Square. And our officers will approach

01:04:50.080 you if you start to behave disorderly on fountain square because these things sometimes start as a

01:04:56.860 minor altercation and then evolve into something bigger so do not come down town especially on

01:05:05.120 fountain square if you don't know how to behave whoa all right i know i'm gonna give the audience

01:05:13.740 here, a time to take a breath, because such a revolutionary tactic like that to combat

01:05:21.660 violence in your city when you are the police chief is, you know, my head's still spinning.

01:05:31.020 Behave. 1.00

01:05:34.040 Just say, hey, hey, you, get your damn hands off her. 0.99

01:05:42.740 So behave, especially if you're going down to the downtown, the Fountain area. 0.99

01:05:49.100 And if you don't, the police might approach you.

01:05:56.200 Well, I got to give it up to Police Chief Teresa Thiege.

01:06:01.500 As far as Cincinnati goes, problem solved.

01:06:05.580 Problem solved.

01:06:06.580 And that's why it's so odd that I decided to dub her Clown of the Week.

01:06:15.360 Is that what we're down to?

01:06:18.940 Just begging people to behave? 0.99

01:06:23.600 Like mommy. 1.00

01:06:24.860 Hey, behave.

01:06:25.880 All right.

01:06:51.460 duking it out on the debate stage trying to show the citizens of new york city who would be best

01:06:59.260 suited to be their mayor and uh i've never seen somebody relegated to the kids table

01:07:09.080 as i saw curtis lee were relegated to that position during this debate it's like they had

01:07:15.960 to let him on uh but you know the people uh the moderators the candidates they didn't want to give

01:07:24.980 them anything they didn't want to give them any time didn't want to hear from them it's like you

01:07:33.400 know thanksgiving all your aunts and uncles and maybe your grandparents at the big table

01:07:39.820 and you're relegated to that rickety little card table we've all been there we you know work our

01:07:47.520 way up but um that's what it seemed like to me and um i'm sorry to say it does seem like

01:07:55.600 mem danny is going to be your your mayor i don't know what to do i saw something here

01:08:02.820 who who did this this is let me pull this up on my phone here um yeah someone here posted

01:08:12.700 and this is kind of what a lot of people in new york city are saying uh the mayoral race

01:08:20.160 mamdani is looking at 49 percent cuomo 28 sliwa 13 the comment is sliwa has less than half the

01:08:29.540 projected votes as cuomo why won't he drop out that's the big thing why the hell won't he drop

01:08:37.100 out he's screwing it up why cuomo with 28 percent is gonna win if you put 13 to 28 oh boy my math

01:09:13.420 mean victory i'm as anti-memdani as they come but it is time to stop telling republicans

01:09:20.980 to get out of their way of democrats who can't win their primaries thank you nothing is stopping

01:09:28.960 Cuomo from wooing Sliwa and Memdani voters.

01:09:33.420 What a great point. Why are Democrats 1.00

01:09:37.300 yelling

01:09:40.020 and screaming at Republicans, please tell your

01:09:45.200 candidate to drop out. Cuomo's the one that lost

01:09:49.060 his primary. He's not the Democrat nominee.

01:09:53.320 Memdani is. And if the Republican

01:09:57.680 candidate has to drop out to even give a a sliver of a chance to the dem candidate why is that on

01:10:05.220 the republicans backs why do the republicans have to help out the democrats who like maude 0.94

01:10:47.600 own primary against a communist muslim can you do that and help us out why oh by the way do you

01:11:38.180 All right.

01:11:38.840 Coming back in seconds.

01:11:40.420 Stick around.

01:11:41.660 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:47.580 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:53.800 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:11:56.620 Former shock jock made good.

01:12:00.780 God, I was a shock jock.

01:12:03.820 That's embarrassing.

01:12:05.540 A little bit.

01:12:06.360 At least it was during the time of the shock jock, you know, back in the in the 90s when shock jockery was all the rage.

01:12:15.300 But, you know, you look back and you age a little bit.

01:12:20.420 You think about things a little differently.

01:12:23.200 You're more concerned with world and national and even local issues than you are shoving a young woman into a 55-gallon drum and showering fish guts and whatnot upon her. 0.98

01:12:37.680 Yeah, but damn it, I was a shock jock once. 0.97

01:12:43.180 We're talking about the New York City election. 0.99

01:12:46.520 The debate happened. And, you know, the Cuomo is just terrible. He is terrible. This is not a viable candidate. And people would say that about Curtis. But I like Curtis as far as his policies go.

01:13:06.700 You know, some people think Curtis's personality or the fact that, you know, 8000 years ago he was on the Guardian Angels or, you know, don't wear the beret, which he didn't wear during the debates.

01:13:20.980 Or what is he like, cats?

01:13:24.520 Yeah.

01:13:26.000 First of all, like, isn't that a good thing to have sympathy and empathy for for animals?

01:13:35.180 And then if you don't like that, who cares?

01:13:37.740 I don't think there's ever been an issue in New York City

01:13:41.160 where a mayor had to choose between a kitten

01:13:44.080 and the policies of the city that would help its people.

01:13:50.340 So I don't think that really matters.

01:13:54.200 But Cuomo, what a lemon this guy is.

01:13:58.400 And Curtis wound up getting him a good one.

01:14:01.660 uh do you have that clip i hope you do the one where he he kind of goes off on yeah yeah he

01:14:09.980 tells cuomo he's no mario that one's a good one let's uh let's play that you know that's that's

01:14:17.020 ironic that you say that now i'm sorry because when you were governor for eight years your parole 0.91

01:14:24.260 board released 43 cop killers back into the street your father when he was governor released

01:14:31.320 none i knew mario cuomo moving on you're no mario cuomo andrew cuomo and you released

01:14:37.700 and you know what hey moderator shut up you see where he's going you see where the candidate

01:14:49.940 in the debate is going you've already not given this guy the the respect he deserves

01:14:56.980 on that stage you you relegated him to the kids table he's up there he's making a point

01:15:04.160 he's talking about uh uh andrew cuomo and the fact that he's uh his policies have let cop killers

01:15:13.120 out of prison and yeah okay we're moving on we get budgeted yeah we get it he'll wrap up

01:15:21.420 let him make his point and andrew cuomo was debating him as he was saying that so they're

01:15:30.020 kind of talking over each other a bit but it was a a two-man back and forth which is what it should

01:15:36.740 have been not some yenta blabbing in the background for curtis to be quiet sorry mommy

01:15:44.860 sorry mommy curtis has something to say oh my god that was really annoying and you know

01:15:54.780 the famous uh jfk uh quote back in the presidential election the vice presidential

01:16:05.820 debate actually is where that came from but um yeah let the guy get out what he's saying 0.78

01:16:13.660 these moderators just like everyone else everyone's an attention whore now and he got these

01:16:19.840 moderators that think they're the star of the show people want to hear from the candidates

01:16:25.460 and if they're going over a little on time adjust it by letting the other candidate go a little over 1.00

01:16:31.540 on time not by yapping and trying to cut him off from uh what he's saying and if you're too stupid 1.00

01:16:39.560 to understand what point he's trying to make there then that's your problem you shouldn't 0.99

01:16:46.160 be a moderator oh was that annoying as all hell just annoying so uh mem danny here here he is uh 0.60

01:16:56.220 And they do this all the time, and it's not just Mamdani, it's every single Democrat, when talking about the illegals, illegals, who were invading this country through its southern border for years, by the millions under the Biden administration, every time this gets brought up, every time they're questioned about it, they will never say illegal. 0.56

01:17:26.220 And that's a lie.

01:17:27.400 It's a plain lie.

01:17:29.860 But right in your face, lie. 1.00

01:17:32.740 These are not immigrants. 0.99

01:17:35.040 There is a difference. 1.00

01:17:37.500 It's like going to a bank, right?

01:17:40.940 Write out a withdrawal slip.

01:17:43.380 Go to the teller.

01:17:44.460 I don't know who does this anymore, but go to the teller with the slip.

01:17:48.620 You have an account at the bank.

01:17:50.440 It's got adequate funds in the bank.

01:17:53.640 and you take out $10,000

01:17:56.060 and they do all their checks

01:17:59.120 and whatever they need to do

01:18:00.420 and then they hand you a stack of money

01:18:02.880 you say thank you

01:18:04.300 and you walk out of the bank.

01:18:07.320 Now there's a guy

01:18:08.780 going into the bank

01:18:10.480 he's got a gun

01:18:11.420 he points it at the teller's face

01:18:13.200 and says give me $10,000

01:18:14.620 and she shakes and takes 10 grand out

01:18:17.940 and gives it to him

01:18:18.580 and he runs out of the bank.

01:18:20.120 are those both just people making a withdrawal from the bank is that what it is or is one

01:18:30.480 a a bank customer making withdrawal and the other one is a bank robber an illegal withdrawal

01:18:39.500 that is the same effing thing as saying immigrant when you're talking about illegal immigrants

01:18:49.260 Donald Trump and his administration

01:18:53.380 is not deporting and arresting

01:18:57.640 and ICE isn't rounding up immigrants

01:19:00.020 they are rounding up illegal immigrants

01:19:04.880 the word immigrant shouldn't even be in it

01:19:08.880 illegal trespassers 0.87

01:19:11.840 American trespassers 0.99

01:19:14.020 they're trespassing on the United States 1.00

01:19:17.260 illegally

01:19:18.720 so stop and they all do this they want to make it seem like trump and his supporters and everyone

01:19:26.080 conservatives about people that are real patriots and want this country to to uh uh be a great place 0.97

01:19:34.500 that that they don't want immigrants and believe me that should be stopped too legal immigration 1.00

01:19:42.320 but that's a whole nother story let's just talk about the difference between legal immigration

01:19:47.760 and illegal immigration they cannot bring themselves to say illegal or or in any way

01:19:54.760 they want it they want to make it look like we all think immigration was is and will always be

01:20:02.780 this terrible thing we know damn well in history immigration was very important to populating this 0.99

01:20:10.820 country and building it up we needed uh strong bodies to come here but people that would

01:20:20.160 assimilate to america and build an amazing nation which did happen this doesn't mean people that 0.97

01:20:30.820 come over here for god knows what the reasons are their own country is a crap hole we know that

01:20:39.720 they're being persecuted they're unhappy they want free stuff but there is a process 0.96

01:20:46.420 and they want they want to make everyone believe that no matter what you're doing if you're an 0.96

01:20:55.920 immigrant going through the process we still don't want you uh and we'll deport you somehow

01:21:02.200 i don't know how that's done they they they're saying that um the liberals the democrats they

01:21:08.480 They are the ones that say Trump is deporting American citizens.

01:21:13.840 This is a great one. 1.00

01:21:15.140 You hear it all the time.

01:21:16.400 American citizens are being deported.

01:21:18.980 Show me. 1.00

01:21:19.880 Please show me one.

01:21:22.160 Oh, and then they bring up the Maryland dad.

01:21:25.060 What about Maryland dad?

01:21:27.800 Oh, the gang member who was pulled over numerous times. 0.98

01:21:31.860 I've seen the body cam footage from the cops with a carload of illegals transporting.

01:21:38.480 He's a human trafficker.

01:21:40.900 The Maryland dad. 0.90

01:21:45.120 Oy.

01:21:46.580 So here's Zoran Mamdani talking about how ICE is snatching immigrants off the street,

01:21:56.460 never once calling them illegal.

01:21:59.380 Zoran, please.

01:22:00.760 Let me be clear.

01:22:02.980 This is not a moment for capitulation.

01:22:05.460 we are in a period of political darkness

01:22:09.320 Donald Trump and his ICE agents are snatching our immigrant neighbors

01:22:14.360 from our city

01:22:15.700 in broad daylight

01:22:17.920 right before our eyes

01:22:22.340 his authoritarian administration

01:22:24.860 is waging a scorched earth campaign of retribution

01:22:28.720 against any who dared oppose them

01:22:31.660 against the courts that dare hold them accountable 0.99

01:22:35.160 and against our trans and queer neighbors 0.92

01:22:37.900 for simply daring to be themselves. 1.00

01:22:40.980 Boo.

01:22:42.180 Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his ICE agents.

01:22:45.960 Meanwhile, at the Justice...

01:22:47.600 It's so insane.

01:22:53.040 The scorched earth.

01:22:55.720 They over-dramatize everything.

01:23:00.400 And it's at the point...

01:23:02.320 At this point, it's so embarrassing.

01:23:05.160 To listen to them. 1.00

01:23:06.960 He's in front of these dimwits. 1.00

01:23:12.000 And he knows anything he says, they'll applaud it. 0.97

01:23:16.020 This is great, good, we love Zoran Mamdani.

01:23:19.680 And so he could say anything. 1.00

01:23:22.020 He's rounding up immigrants.

01:23:25.620 Off the streets in broad daylight, scorched earth policy.

01:23:31.620 Donald Trump and his ICE agents.

01:23:35.160 It's a Batman episode. 0.56

01:23:37.660 And, you know, they suck it up. 1.00

01:23:42.880 The morons, the people in New York City, 1.00

01:23:49.120 they don't understand that the city is a business 1.00

01:23:54.800 and it needs to run like a business.

01:23:58.420 Oh, God.

01:24:00.680 It's infuriating.

01:24:02.200 But, you know, one good thing, I'm just glad.

01:24:07.560 I'm glad I don't have to deal with New York City anymore.

01:24:12.240 Do you know how to fork over, like, $500 in taxes to New York City?

01:24:16.960 Not big.

01:24:17.940 It's not a big thing.

01:24:20.140 But it made me mad.

01:24:23.360 I don't live there.

01:24:26.460 Why?

01:24:29.000 Because that's how they work.

01:24:31.120 That's how they work.

01:24:32.640 They will try to just squeeze every dollar they can out of you,

01:24:38.640 whether you're a resident or not.

01:24:41.400 And when you go there, the taxes you have to pay on everything you're buying anyway

01:24:46.160 with the money that's already been taxed.

01:24:50.220 And Mamdani is so proud of his policy that he's going to raise corporate taxes

01:24:56.820 from somewhere in the range of 7 and change percent,

01:25:02.320 7 point something percent,

01:25:05.340 to what Jersey's doing, 11 point something percent.

01:25:10.120 I don't know what the points are,

01:25:11.200 but 7 to 11 percent on corporate taxes

01:25:14.360 because Jersey's doing it.

01:25:16.820 And his idea is like, well, Jersey's doing it,

01:25:19.360 so we're just going to bring you to the Jersey level.

01:25:22.740 Do you understand the difference in the cost

01:25:26.560 of running a business in New York City from Jersey?

01:25:32.640 There's a huge difference.

01:25:34.480 The people that open a business in Jersey,

01:25:36.660 yeah, they're taxed a lot more,

01:25:37.980 but every other bill they have to pay every month

01:25:40.700 is way cheaper than a business running in New York City.

01:25:46.680 But he's just like, hey, Jersey's there.

01:25:49.460 Oh, are you going to lower the rents?

01:25:52.420 I mean, on businesses.

01:25:53.840 No, not on welfare recipients and bums and EBT.

01:26:00.760 Oh, you'll stack them up in government-run hovels for $200 a month.

01:26:10.420 But the businesses, what they pay per square foot of space in New York City?

01:26:16.580 and now you're going to rake them over the coals

01:26:20.700 with New Jersey's tax rate on businesses.

01:26:26.440 The electric bills, the utilities, everything,

01:26:30.660 everything you pay in New York City is through the roof.

01:26:36.260 And to raise the taxes to the Jersey level of 11 point something in taxes,

01:26:44.160 And that, by the way, is his answer to how he's going to fund free buses.

01:26:51.620 Listen to this.

01:26:52.440 Memdani talking about his free busing in New York.

01:26:57.320 What a freak show that's going to be.

01:26:59.500 But the question is how you'll make them free.

01:27:01.340 We will fund the revenue that would have otherwise been brought in from fares.

01:27:04.840 And that's something that we would do in partnership with Albany.

01:27:07.400 And I put forward two proposals.

01:27:09.040 The first is to raise taxes on the top 1% of New Yorkers by 2%.

01:27:12.660 That would raise $4 billion.

01:27:14.160 The second is to raise the state's top corporate tax rate to match that of New Jersey, which would raise $5 billion.

01:27:20.840 $4 billion for private citizens.

01:27:23.820 You know, those rich New Yorkers that make a million a year.

01:27:28.560 You know, I don't want to sound like an elitist here.

01:27:31.920 But truth be told, if you live in New York City, a million dollars is not rich.

01:27:38.580 It'll be okay.

01:27:39.960 It'll be okay.

01:27:41.380 But, you know, these are people you need.

01:27:44.160 You need them in your city, and he will chase them out.

01:27:49.260 Hell, I got chased out, and I'll stay in a pretty conflicted relationship

01:27:56.460 for quite some time, as people know.

01:27:59.940 And then businesses, like I said, taxing businesses.

01:28:03.220 And this will raise billions of dollars so that he can have these rolling

01:28:08.720 homeless shelters called mta buses rolling heated and air-conditioned homeless centers

01:28:17.540 because that's what these buses will turn into and if you think the nypd an nypd run by zoran

01:28:26.540 memdani is gonna crack down on homeless violent mental patients that are now using the buses as

01:28:35.720 shelters to get heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer and billions of

01:28:41.600 dollars will be spent doing this uh dollars that have been taken from corporates uh corporations

01:28:48.000 in new york city and and private citizens that are so wealthy

01:28:52.420 even as even as campaign promises are terrible and dangerous usually they lie on the campaign

01:29:03.260 promise to get elected and now you look at this guy and go oh my god these are terrible policies

01:29:11.380 but there he is you know he will uh he will do this if he can i don't know the ins and outs of

01:29:20.440 being the mayor of new york and i don't know what he actually has the power to to do um by himself

01:29:30.680 without having to have city council and a lot of other people back him

01:29:36.080 and sign off on these things.

01:29:38.760 But from what I've seen of New York City Council

01:29:42.180 and other New York politicians,

01:29:44.980 I think this guy will have free reign to really screw New York up.

01:29:50.980 We saw de Blasio do it.

01:29:53.080 What did he have to do?

01:29:54.600 What hoops did he have to jump through to convince the other people

01:29:59.820 in New York City politics to put his policies in place.

01:30:04.640 So good luck to you.

01:30:07.340 Good luck.

01:30:08.860 I'll be coming up.

01:30:10.160 I'll be checking on you.

01:30:11.780 I'll come up and go, you okay? 0.99

01:30:14.060 Pat you on the head.

01:30:15.060 What's up?

01:30:16.120 How you doing?

01:30:17.480 And then I'll look around and go, holy mother of God,

01:30:22.500 this is a disaster.

01:30:26.620 All right.

01:30:27.360 Oh, phone calls coming up.

01:30:29.600 And a little more.

01:30:31.220 I got a couple of more Memdani things.

01:30:33.060 And then what else do we got here?

01:30:35.920 Oh, celebrities.

01:30:36.880 We got a little De Niro, Martin Sheen.

01:30:40.120 Yeah, we'll be back in moments.

01:30:42.060 Stick around.

01:30:43.240 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:30:49.520 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:30:55.540 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:30:57.040 So, you know, kind of sympathizing, but also waving my finger at New York City and its residents.

01:31:05.460 You put yourself in this position.

01:31:08.160 I don't know how New York City got this way.

01:31:12.980 It seems years ago you didn't look at a Republican candidate and just go, oh, there's no way he's getting in.

01:31:21.160 And we saw what happened.

01:31:22.200 And a lot of times, the Democrats screw up so badly that the voting public,

01:31:30.400 and this isn't just New York City, it's everywhere, goes, oh, yeah, we can't do that again.

01:31:36.380 And the other way around, it works the other way around, too. 0.68

01:31:39.120 You know, the voters are very fickle.

01:31:42.140 And, you know, look at Jimmy Carter pretty much put Ronald Reagan into office.

01:31:48.540 and Nixon and Gerald Ford pretty much put Jimmy Carter into office.

01:31:56.580 So it just goes that way.

01:31:58.460 A lot of times people get sick and tired of the missteps

01:32:03.060 and screw-ups of an administration, and they go with another party.

01:32:08.760 And when you look at Zoran Mandani, I mean, who are we coming off of?

01:32:13.240 Adams, who came off of de Blasio, who came off of Bloomberg.

01:32:20.000 You know, Bloomberg was technically an independent, but he was more Democrat, but he was a business guy.

01:32:25.320 So he wasn't completely destroying New York.

01:32:28.160 But a lot of his policies, stopping the stop and frisk, things like that, really started the, I don't know, rot of New York.

01:32:41.040 He was good with business.

01:32:42.240 It was still a great place for tourism and whatnot.

01:32:46.760 But between de Blasio and Adams, you would think New York City would be crying. 0.54

01:32:53.780 Please, can we get a Republican in here to balance out this garbage, whatever's been happening for the past two mayors? 0.87

01:33:04.680 And Zoran Mamdani is your answer? 0.99

01:33:09.200 Are you just suicidal at this point?

01:33:12.240 Well, you just look and you saw what de Blasio and Adams had done in New York City and just went, ah, screw it, blow the whole thing up, because that really seems like what's happening.

01:33:24.860 And it's very disheartening to Republicans to think that there's never, ever going to be a Republican mayor in New York again.

01:33:36.940 Governor is the same thing.

01:33:38.300 We think, you know, what happened?

01:33:40.520 Will we ever see a Republican governor in New York State?

01:33:47.280 You know?

01:33:48.660 Yeah, Lee Zeldin.

01:33:49.640 Yeah, the opportunity to elect Lee Zeldin. 0.96

01:33:52.640 You put Kathy Hochul in there for a whole term? 1.00

01:33:56.440 She took over for dumb Andrew Cuomo, who's your go-to Democrat guy? 0.92

01:34:02.820 What is wrong with you, New York State? 1.00

01:34:05.300 Oh, my God, you need therapy. 0.97

01:34:07.320 You need therapy.

01:34:10.640 Joaquin from PA, what's up, man?

01:34:13.000 What's up, man?

01:34:13.840 Hey, good evening, Anthony.

01:34:15.080 I gotta tell you, I'm on the same page as far as, man, I mean, Cuomo goes.

01:34:19.080 Yep.

01:34:19.520 It really annoys me that everybody puts him on the pedestal now of being the knight in

01:34:23.480 shining armor, riding on a white horse to New York's emotional rescue.

01:34:28.180 He's the savior.

01:34:30.860 And, you know, here's the problem that we're up against, you know, and unfortunately, I

01:34:36.460 have a very bleak outlook for things because unfortunately when you look at these protests

01:34:41.020 okay unfortunately there's a like you know when you consider military maneuver you know morale

01:34:46.500 and battling things like that and as people watch and and our side there really is not much media

01:34:52.380 at all and i had a conversation with one of my oldest best friends you know since i was a child

01:34:58.920 today he lives on long island in pennsylvania and he had texted me about uh he was a little

01:35:05.240 disappointed he's a trump he voted for trump trump supporter and he said he was a little

01:35:08.880 bit disappointed that trump you know uh commuted the sentence of uh of uh george uh oh come on

01:35:14.900 what's the guy's name steven steven miller yeah no george santos oh santos okay yeah you know and

01:35:22.400 oh santos yeah what am i saying steven miller yeah you know so i kind of explained that to him

01:35:26.820 you know but then also too he was you know of course being in new york he's worried about the

01:35:30.900 government shutdown affecting you know the the medicaid and medicare systems because he's retired

01:35:35.700 guy you know and i said you have to understand something i said this is all being misrepresented

01:35:40.860 this is the only way to stop new york's medicaid system is going to collapse because of all the 0.96

01:35:46.200 illegal immigrants that they they've they've allowed in there that they want to pay for 1.00

01:35:50.060 and so now basically the trump administration republicans are coming down hard line saying no 0.96

01:35:54.600 the rest of the country is not going to pay for all these illegal migrants you know and all these

01:35:59.980 sanctuary states and cities yeah yeah so many people on our side unfortunately you know they 0.99

01:36:07.500 just aren't getting you know unless you go looking for information it's not just there you turn on

01:36:13.440 no it's not on the surface anymore you got to dig you got to do some research and you know even then

01:36:20.180 you got to kind of use some of your own common sense to weed out the nonsense yeah and again

01:36:26.940 take fox i mean fox in many ways has been co-opted by you know the rupert oh yeah no i've been done

01:36:34.420 with fox so long joaquin it's so funny when people go oh really what do you watch faux news

01:36:41.940 are you a fox news guy it's like dude if you had any sense any any uh clue as to what's going on

01:36:50.700 in the world you'd realize no one that used to watch fox news watches fox news and thinks it's

01:36:57.360 some credible news source anymore exactly but you know where do we turn you know i mean i have

01:37:04.120 another friend i i got him he actually he starts listening to wabc on a regular basis and he likes

01:37:10.320 listening to you sunday night my buddy hey thank you and you know and the thing with this is unless

01:37:16.940 people really realize we're at a point right now if the democrats ever take over again god forbid

01:37:22.780 there's going to be black cars coming for a lot of people yeah oh i know they're they really go

01:37:28.620 for that retribution thing they think trump does it but uh they are really big on uh retribution

01:37:34.300 joaquin thanks man i gotta move on uh we'll take a quick break and uh let's see man danny

01:37:41.740 He wants to know, people want to know why a 33-time arrested killer was out on the street.

01:37:48.380 I would want to know that if this guy's running for mayor.

01:37:52.340 Back in moments.

01:37:53.600 Stick around.

01:37:54.680 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:38:00.560 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:38:06.480 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:38:08.280 and just scrolling through X

01:38:11.820 and I appreciate everybody that's listening

01:38:14.340 and commenting on X

01:38:16.480 and downloading the app

01:38:17.840 and listening live

01:38:19.740 I do really appreciate that

01:38:22.920 very cool

01:38:23.520 very cool indeed

01:38:25.840 there was one more

01:38:30.500 thing from the last hour 0.89

01:38:32.660 oh the Mamdani

01:38:33.900 Zoran Mamdani

01:38:36.560 uh here's another question he was asked of course he is your gonna be your mayor i i hate having to

01:38:44.260 say that i love curtis um cuomo you know what if i were ironic to tell him to jump off a bridge

01:38:52.560 and then he uses the mario cuomo bridge i wouldn't want that trust me but it would just be one of

01:39:01.620 those very ironic things uh mam danny he uh is asked why now this seems like a pretty reasonable

01:39:10.240 question why would a 33 time arrested killer they didn't kill 33 times the times but he wound up

01:39:20.220 killing uh after he was arrested 33 times and was out on the street uh why did this happen

01:39:29.460 What is he going to do about this as mayor?

01:39:32.580 And, of course, does he answer it?

01:39:34.960 Well, why would he?

01:39:36.920 Zoran?

01:39:41.340 Oh, Mom, Danny asked why a 33-time arrested killer was out on the streets.

01:39:47.400 You don't have that?

01:39:48.460 Is it? 1.00

01:39:50.860 That's a good one, the prostitution one. 0.74

01:39:53.200 But, wow, isn't that something?

01:39:55.220 every week i have one clip that i thought i sent and i didn't send it but uh that's very strange

01:40:05.720 anyway uh well he doesn't answer that question all he does is talk about how uh he is the mayor

01:40:16.220 to keep New Yorkers

01:40:18.240 safe

01:40:18.820 and get justice

01:40:22.460 for people

01:40:23.940 you know like you put somebody in prison 0.98

01:40:26.060 and they're violent and crazy

01:40:28.600 and maybe you don't want them 0.92

01:40:30.560 out on the streets of your city

01:40:32.640 but no

01:40:34.140 he's like we need

01:40:35.960 this justice

01:40:37.860 by justice they don't mean justice

01:40:40.340 they mean

01:40:41.760 usual suspects

01:40:44.500 Let's let him just run wild out on the streets.

01:40:49.140 And this guy had been arrested 33 times.

01:40:54.560 And he was out there, and he winds up killing someone else.

01:40:58.700 And does Zoran Mamdani even give an inkling that he would do something about this? 0.99

01:41:06.280 if new yorkers think for a second that the no bail low bail thing is going away you're crazy

01:41:17.160 you read the stories every day you you take the subways and public transportation you walk down

01:41:23.740 the sidewalks and you can vote for a guy who is going to do absolutely nothing to make you safer

01:41:34.820 by keeping violent criminals in jail at least till their trial with with bail they just let

01:41:43.760 these people out and by the way it's time and time again they let them out they get arrested again

01:41:49.260 they let them out again and again oh no bail sorry well why is that well we're restricted

01:41:57.160 to the law which says we cannot put bail on this person well whose whose responsibility is that

01:42:04.800 And why are they still in office?

01:42:08.060 Do you see why us normal people, us rational people who have fled New York State get so frustrated

01:42:17.720 and wonder how you continue voting for these people that, they really do seem to want you to get hurt.

01:42:32.000 They want you in danger.

01:42:34.800 it's a i don't know how else a rational person could see that but they want you to get hurt

01:42:42.220 i don't know uh yeah that was the prostitution thing hey let's when all else fails let's go 0.88

01:42:48.800 to the prostitutes this is zoran memdani he's being asked uh because there's been a little 0.64

01:42:54.640 controversy does he want prostitution to be legal or not and uh he has said time and time again 0.94

01:43:03.740 that he does not want prostitution to be illegal he wants it legalized he doesn't want prostitutes

01:43:11.340 to be arrested and uh while that's a weird kind of thing like i can understand in some way you

01:43:19.080 don't want to be punishing these dopey girls because most of i mean i don't it's not like

01:43:25.460 the movies you know i'm just doing this to work my way through college because i'm such a genius

01:43:31.640 Or, oh, I'm just doing this until I find the right man to marry.

01:43:37.140 And it's Julia Roberts or, you know, some other gorgeous actress of the day. 1.00

01:43:44.480 Prostitutes are some of the most damaged people you'll ever see. 1.00

01:43:50.540 They're mentally ill. 1.00

01:43:53.200 They've probably lived through some childhood trauma that they cannot get past. 1.00

01:44:01.480 They can't fit into the way the world works.

01:44:07.680 And they really are kind of the victim of the life they feel necessary to go into.

01:44:18.500 And the ones that really make profit off of this are the pimps.

01:44:24.260 You know, the pimps, yo.

01:44:25.660 these are guys

01:44:27.940 I mean if you see a girl standing on the street

01:44:29.960 selling herself she's not an

01:44:32.020 independent contractor 1.00

01:44:33.540 oh if this wasn't regular

01:44:35.940 radio I would say I would

01:44:37.960 turn contractor into another word by

01:44:39.960 changing one letter independent

01:44:41.900 I never thought of that one that's kind of

01:44:43.960 funny okay she's not an

01:44:45.860 independent contractor 1.00

01:44:47.540 it's a pimp

01:44:49.740 pimps

01:44:51.320 are the ones that

01:44:53.040 make the money and then they give them this pittance for food barely any mostly drugs

01:45:01.280 they give them a flop house to live in uh so it's not a victimless victimless crime

01:45:08.920 and mamdani wants this industry to be legal how are you going to legalize it when 0.99

01:45:16.300 the victimization of these girls goes hand in hand with prostitution 1.00

01:45:23.040 They don't work alone. 1.00

01:45:25.120 They can't handle.

01:45:26.200 Another movie thing.

01:45:28.020 Well, aren't you afraid that a pimp is going to come for you?

01:45:31.080 I can handle myself, the tough girl.

01:45:34.600 Yeah, handle yourself.

01:45:35.780 Go ahead.

01:45:37.160 Movies have people so deluded into what the real deal is in life.

01:45:44.040 So here's Zoran.

01:45:45.340 He's talking about prostitution.

01:45:47.620 Prosecution of prostitution.

01:45:49.560 Let's listen.

01:45:50.180 And to follow the advice of district attorneys that we have here in New York City, the current Manhattan D.A., the former Manhattan D.A., the current Brooklyn D.A., the former Manhattan D.A. having said that prosecuting women for prostitution is something that actually leads to less safety.

01:46:05.200 And what we need to do is provide an economy of opportunity.

01:46:08.120 Just a quick just a quick clarification. So no legalization. How about decriminalization?

01:46:15.020 I do not think that we should be prosecuting women who are struggling, who are currently being thrown in jail and then being offered job opportunities.

01:46:23.120 I think we should be actually providing those kinds of opportunities at the first point of interaction.

01:46:27.460 At the first point of interaction, which is the arrest, by the way, I can almost understand some type of program.

01:46:36.700 And they have these and they've had them for years.

01:46:39.280 there are people that go around or at least there were back in what i like to call the day

01:46:45.880 there were people that went around social workers or just volunteers and believe me it's not hard to

01:46:52.120 spot a prostitute on the street just ask jim norton and uh you you find them you ask them

01:47:00.680 a few questions you find out what their life is like where they're staying with and you try to

01:47:05.560 help them these people for the most part like any other i would call this an addiction but it's

01:47:13.200 almost an addiction to having to live their lives and they don't want help they just you know this

01:47:21.060 is the only way they can imagine they're going to make a living is selling their bodies what did

01:47:27.220 Ma'am Danny, just call it some kind of an economy, some way to get people jobs so they 1.00

01:47:37.720 don't have to do prostitution, but not throwing them in jail for being prostitutes.

01:47:44.360 What else are they going to do, Zoran? 0.99

01:47:47.900 They're prostitutes. 0.99

01:47:49.420 They've already looked at every other opportunity, opportunity economy. 1.00

01:47:55.960 That's what he said.

01:47:57.220 Every other opportunity, and they're not mentally cut out to have a real job. 1.00

01:48:05.040 They're mentally ill people. 0.96

01:48:06.340 This is something I think that really has to be understood by people like Memdani or anyone else that wants to be a mayor or leader. 0.97

01:48:16.280 You are giving people much too much credit. 0.97

01:48:20.040 They are mentally ill and need to be treated as such. 1.00

01:48:23.240 prostitutes aren't movie prostitutes 1.00

01:48:27.600 not pretty woman 1.00

01:48:28.700 you're not going to end up 0.98

01:48:32.340 with a wonderful rich man

01:48:36.500 Richard Gere

01:48:38.140 and take care of his gerbil

01:48:40.180 make him have a trail

01:48:44.280 for his favorite gerbil

01:48:45.960 and he'll fall in love with you

01:48:47.160 it doesn't happen that way 1.00

01:48:49.420 these women usually end up dying 1.00

01:48:52.460 from drug overdoses, being murdered, or just rotting away on the streets.

01:48:59.240 But Zoran thinks that there's an opportunity economy,

01:49:03.740 some way that will employ everyone regardless of how mentally ill they are

01:49:11.260 or physically sick that they are.

01:49:15.820 So you take away the arresting of the prostitutes. 0.63

01:49:19.380 Now the police can't go out and arrest a prostitute, take them back to the precinct, get information, and then maybe have some type of program in place that can sort them out and help them out, maybe see if they have family somewhere.

01:49:37.760 And like I said, I know these programs do exist right now, but what he's saying is he thinks you could give anyone a job. 0.60

01:49:47.080 He thinks anyone, just give him a job and everything's fine.

01:49:50.840 Walk around New York. 1.00

01:49:52.680 You tell me if these homeless people and mental patients and prostitutes are the way they are just because they couldn't get a job. 0.99

01:50:01.420 It's insane.

01:50:03.580 And again, it's one of his programs that it's a camouflage for something else.

01:50:08.380 for socialism and for, you know, zero accountability,

01:50:13.800 letting people do whatever they want, no law enforcement.

01:50:18.480 That's what he's all about.

01:50:20.260 He's not about helping people.

01:50:22.100 Trust me.

01:50:23.040 Trust me.

01:50:24.220 I don't lie to you.

01:50:26.220 Back in a matter of seconds, stick around for more of the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:50:30.380 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:50:34.800 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network the anthony cumia show and uh

01:50:45.180 just scrolling a little more during the break uh on on x and uh look new york i i've been i've been

01:50:53.380 pounding you for a while now about your horrible decisions but uh every so often something really

01:51:00.280 funny comes out of uh new york uh new york news this one uh out of westchester uh a prisoner shot

01:51:08.420 an inmate in a van they were transporting prisoners in a van and uh you know we've all

01:51:15.860 seen movies where where they frisk the uh inmates they shackle them there's four or five of them

01:51:24.020 They handcuff them to rings in the van.

01:51:29.980 And, you know, it's sort of a miniature, a minivan Con Air kind of a situation.

01:51:35.140 Well, the cops are driving the van with these prisoners in the back, and they hear a shot, a gunshot.

01:51:41.540 And they hear one of the guys go, I've been shot.

01:51:44.280 And they come around, and apparently one of these prisoners had a .22 caliber, small round, but still very deadly.

01:51:52.640 He had shot him in the leg.

01:51:54.020 and he had a gun in his hand and there's a lot of questions now over there in westchester as to

01:52:02.460 how this guy was able to smuggle a a firearm a pistol into that van knowing damn well they are

01:52:12.040 frisked before they go in well if you're thinking about it if you're trying to guess where he

01:52:20.620 stashed this pistol away, I'll just say you're right.

01:52:26.600 Yes, he did. Yes, he did.

01:52:30.820 So, I don't know.

01:52:33.260 I know .22s are a small caliber,

01:52:35.840 but the pistols themselves, unless it's a Derringer maybe,

01:52:40.920 a little pistol like was used on Abraham Lincoln,

01:52:45.720 I don't know if John Wilkes Booth hid his pistol the same way to get into Ford's theater that fateful evening.

01:52:54.060 But, you know, you've got to start checking these people with scanners.

01:53:00.380 A frisk, a simple frisk, I don't think is enough when they are completely ready, willing, and able

01:53:06.980 to hide some of the most inconvenient items

01:53:13.220 in some places that normal people would deem painful, uncomfortable.

01:53:21.840 Yeah.

01:53:22.320 So there you go, Westchester.

01:53:25.240 Maybe a scanner.

01:53:26.980 Maybe a scanner at the jailhouse that uses x-rays and metal detection

01:53:32.000 would be a little better than a simple frisk.

01:53:35.220 So, oof, wow, a .22 caliber pistol.

01:53:43.800 Here's a couple of things.

01:53:45.600 Ohio, in the state of Ohio, they're trying to pass legislation that will take control of your thermostat.

01:53:57.220 This is a very Orwellian story here.

01:54:03.200 Imagine this.

01:54:04.420 imagine if you will submit it for your approval on the twilight zone uh ohio wants to give the

01:54:14.420 power company or the government the power company through the government uh power because they they

01:54:21.520 have you know it's hot in the summer and a lot of people turn on their air conditioning units

01:54:25.760 and it gets um it's a big drain on the power supply right we all know that big drain on the

01:54:33.600 power supply so what they want to do is be able to to cut down on your power consumption

01:54:42.660 and they'll start with the thermostat on your ac unit and um there are people willing to sign up

01:54:51.660 for this and it was a voluntary program but when you get states or cities that want to legislate

01:55:00.800 this uh and this by the way when you put smart thermostats and smart lighting into your house

01:55:08.720 and i've said this for years anyone that's listened to all of the various shows that i've

01:55:14.900 had over the course of the years i've always said to be very suspect of convenience every single

01:55:23.540 thing that will later be used to screw you over will be submitted to you initially as an amazing

01:55:33.120 convenience in your life. Old sci-fis, old sci-fi movies and documentaries and all these people that

01:55:41.940 speculated what the future might look like, it was very intrusive government-wise. And people

01:55:49.460 would say well i wouldn't do that i'm not going to open my door for a government orb

01:55:55.540 this thing comes to your door citizen open the door the government wants to see what your home 0.74

01:56:03.500 looks like and you'd be i wouldn't do that i'd shoot it with my shotgun people we'd all get

01:56:09.180 together and and and fight uh the government that would be so intrusive in our lives 0.94

01:56:16.280 well they're not stupid they know that this would be something that people wouldn't

01:56:23.600 put up with so the technology needed to to bug you to get in your britches as they say

01:56:33.520 has to be presented to americans as something convenient makes your life better something you

01:56:41.540 can't live without oh you want an example leave your house and and forget your phone

01:56:50.820 on your dining room table how far away from your house how close to your destination do you have

01:57:00.000 to be before you won't turn around and get your phone doesn't matter you're turning around to

01:57:05.880 getting uh and getting your phone it's your life it's your convenience and and it's everything you

01:57:14.000 need uh in in to for information for phone calls for texts for for whatever you can't do your job

01:57:26.780 without your phone and uh that's that's where we're at so it's always presented as a convenience

01:57:34.620 So smart home, this is great.

01:57:37.040 I get thermostats and light switches, and I power my furnace and my gates in my yard.

01:57:47.600 Everything is a smart something, and it's smart.

01:57:50.420 It's great.

01:57:50.780 How can something smart be bad?

01:57:53.120 And it's turning on my lights.

01:57:54.660 Look, I'm on vacation, and I can set my sprinklers, and my lights go on and off, and my locks.

01:58:01.780 I can let someone in my house to clean up, and then they can leave.

01:58:06.560 And it's all great, isn't it?

01:58:09.020 Until a state like Ohio starts legislating to turn your thermostat down

01:58:15.740 because you're using too much power.

01:58:20.040 And then you go, well, wait a minute.

01:58:21.600 This is intrusive.

01:58:22.680 Well, you put the logistics in place.

01:58:26.440 you put the infrastructure in place

01:58:30.120 in order for the government to do that

01:58:33.800 oh you could rip it out

01:58:35.420 get yourself an old Honeywell thermostat

01:58:38.020 like your dad used to yell at you for touching

01:58:41.120 you could do that again

01:58:43.660 but oh it was so convenient

01:58:46.440 I didn't have to go every day and turn the dial

01:58:49.620 it just knew what the temperature was

01:58:51.500 and it would do it

01:58:52.240 and the bedroom's different

01:58:53.300 So we wind up having to sacrifice this amazing technological convenience for our own privacy and our own autonomy so the government can't just say, yeah, you're using too much energy.

01:59:13.680 And that's really what it's all about is tracking your carbon footprint and how much energy are you using.

01:59:20.460 And now, because it's not just let's screw you over, it's let's screw you over financially.

01:59:26.920 Well, you're using, well, I pay, I pay electric bill.

01:59:30.660 Yeah, but you've got to pay a carbon footprint bill now.

01:59:33.700 Because what we're seeing from your smart devices is that you're using way too much power.

01:59:40.460 And, you know, this is already, already has precedence.

01:59:44.760 We've seen this in other things.

01:59:47.720 those insurance companies that put in the little device the safe driving device oh yeah progressive

01:59:56.600 we give you a safe driver discount just put this in your car and if you're safe we'll lower your

02:00:04.420 rates well what if i'm not safe well then we'll raise the hell out of your rates look at this guy

02:00:10.180 he stops short at every light he speeds it will always be presented as convenience

02:00:16.720 um and it's hard to resist it really is we're technophiles we love it uh but you know keep

02:00:24.920 your eyes open back in a flash it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:00:32.040 it's the anthony cumia show on the red apple podcast network

02:00:38.940 yes it is the anthony cumia show and this is brian from bayside what's up brian

02:00:44.840 hey good evening uh uh anthony good day i'm listening anyway um lipa used to put in those

02:00:53.300 thermostats um where they used to control the uh condenser outside long island power authority yeah

02:00:59.460 yeah it would get a million phone calls oh my my air conditioner doesn't work i was like well

02:01:05.700 you have the lipa thermostat yes i can't tell you how many times rip that thing off my wall 0.99

02:01:12.200 You know, yeah, I guess whatever you got to bypass and get that stupid thing out of my house. 1.00

02:01:18.300 It's been happening for a while. 0.98

02:01:19.760 Back when Lipo was doing it, the technology for smart thermostats and other electric devices wasn't really there.

02:01:27.780 So they had to do it a lot more covertly and a lot more nefarious.

02:01:31.320 Like that was just meant, hey, we're going to cut your AC off if we start having problems supplying enough power to Long Island. 1.00

02:01:39.080 So it was more like the nerve, you bastards. 0.99

02:01:44.240 Now they're able to hijack your smart devices and use them against you. 1.00

02:01:53.580 That's right, Brian.

02:01:55.700 Exactly.

02:01:58.400 That's good, Matt.

02:01:59.540 Matt's been on a while.

02:02:00.880 Matt Bronx, what's up, my friend?

02:02:03.920 Hey, good evening, Anthony.

02:02:06.460 Good evening.

02:02:07.140 I'd like to talk, yeah, I'd like to actually first start off by recommending something

02:02:12.120 I frequently do, Can't Get Enough of the Book.

02:02:14.900 Yes, it's The Culture of Critique by Dr. Kevin MacDonald, if you want to know what's going 0.94

02:02:19.680 on with all the Marxist nonsense, the CRT nonsense, the mass immigration movement, which

02:02:26.540 is a Marxist left-wing political agenda, opening the borders to the third world.

02:02:31.440 I recommend a book, The Big Mac, by Dr. Ronald McDonald.

02:02:36.240 Very compelling, compelling, delicious book.

02:02:39.620 But go ahead, Matt.

02:02:43.240 20 years old, what he is.

02:02:46.420 So, yeah, but in addition, you know, again, all these left-wing ideologies of our children are being brainwashed by.

02:02:53.340 Your tax dollars going to the public schools, all the sick ideology out there coming from the left.

02:02:59.320 I really suggest the culture critique by Dr. Kevin MacDonald.

02:03:03.580 So now on to one topic that one of your callers brought up, Joaquin, I believe his name is.

02:03:11.260 Who's that?

02:03:12.780 Joaquin.

02:03:13.660 Oh, yeah, Joaquin from PA.

02:03:15.820 Yes.

02:03:17.140 And he actually brought up a very critical issue.

02:03:20.400 And that is that in light of the fact that the mass media is thoroughly controlled by the left, and they do everything in their power to suppress narratives and information that do not fit their agenda, where, in fact, do you go to get alternatives that are accurate and objective?

02:03:41.460 So two things.

02:03:42.600 Number one, Joaquin, there is a plethora.

02:03:46.520 There's an absolute surfeit.

02:03:48.760 No, plethora is my sister's.

02:03:50.400 name that you are very run by astute uh sapient people that are uh not only conservatives but

02:04:03.640 also objective uh in reporting uh just to give you one of them is uns unz well again matt i don't

02:04:11.540 know you know in order to protect myself and this very station i cannot condone or endorse any

02:04:19.500 websites given out

02:04:21.560 by any of the callers

02:04:23.540 of the show without first

02:04:25.540 having gone over them

02:04:27.520 myself. But thank you, Matt.

02:04:29.860 I do appreciate it. I just can't do it.

02:04:32.020 It's, you know, part of the radio

02:04:33.640 thing. Now, on my

02:04:35.420 internet show, oh, you could call

02:04:37.620 up and tell everyone how to build an

02:04:39.540 atomic bomb on my show.

02:04:41.500 And I'll be right there with you turning a wrench.

02:04:43.940 I swear.

02:04:46.500 We gotta go

02:04:47.720 talk about some celebrities.

02:04:49.500 don't we we got to talk about celebrities they are always at the forefront of of uh

02:04:56.760 logical reasonable thought aren't they all the usual suspects i'm stunned that hollywood

02:05:06.300 is a place full of people of the same exact ideology like again they're actors which is

02:05:14.460 kind of odd because it's like they're following a script like they have a script and they're

02:05:19.580 reading it a writer gave them a script and there are plenty of theories on this um you could you

02:05:25.940 know pick one choose one that you like but uh it's the strangest thing that they're all of the

02:05:33.660 same mindset out there in that that uh uh gaping hole that is hollywood so martin sheen martin sheen

02:05:43.220 knows he played a president on the west wing so who better to know exactly how a president should

02:05:52.220 operate whether they're doing a good job or a bad job than someone who made believe he was a president

02:05:58.300 with words that were given to him by a totally different team of people now martin sheen see he

02:06:06.580 would know saigon i can't believe i'm still in saigon that's my martin sheen thank you uh here

02:06:14.480 he is trashing donald trump martin if you will so the big guy in the white house if he would 0.97

02:06:20.300 take some personal advice you've got to realize sir that you are the biggest nothing in the world

02:06:26.140 and sir you stop there you stop listening to all these people around you these sycophants

02:06:37.120 who are encouraging you to be your non-human self get in touch with that humanity stop fussing with

02:06:45.380 your hair don't worry about your child and stand up straight speak clearly not from your throat

02:06:51.300 Speak from your heart and start being human.

02:06:54.920 That's what you were made for, not golf.

02:06:58.880 So there you are, Mr. President, with all due respect, sir.

02:07:04.420 Yay, Jay Martin Sheen, fake president guy.

02:07:09.500 And, yeah, Martin Sheen could say that.

02:07:11.320 Look at this guy, great head of hair. 0.69

02:07:13.620 Him and his dopey two kids, great heads of hair on those Sheen and Estevez kids. 0.93

02:07:18.940 uh you know what again they can't fathom that ha over half the country voting population over 0.94

02:07:30.700 half the voting population of this country voted for trump he won the popular vote he won every

02:07:39.080 swing state to get the electoral vote uh and they want to talk like you know he somehow got

02:07:48.880 in with three people that voted for him no no martin sheen he didn't he got in with a mandate 0.98

02:07:58.240 mandate that sounds homo that sounds homosexual no a mandate martin sheen 0.92

02:08:06.580 and then of course our favorite robert de niro oh does a does a day or a week maybe go by where you 0.94

02:08:15.320 don't uh see robert de niro further trash his unbelievable legacy of great movies and acting 0.85

02:08:25.780 and entertainment with some dumb uh uh blurted out bull that he he feels so compelled to say 0.95

02:08:38.060 when he's out in public? 0.98

02:08:41.160 Bobby De Niro, as my good friend Jim Norton calls him.

02:08:46.000 Bobby De Niro.

02:08:47.680 Here he is once again trashing Trump.

02:08:51.240 We see it.

02:08:53.220 We see it.

02:08:53.680 We see it all the time.

02:08:55.760 He will not want to leave.

02:08:57.900 He set it up with his, I guess he's the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. 0.96

02:09:06.120 He's a Nazi. 0.92

02:09:08.960 Yes, he is. 0.99

02:09:10.140 And he's Jewish. 1.00

02:09:11.100 He should be ashamed of himself. 1.00

02:09:13.860 Wow. 1.00

02:09:17.600 Slander much?

02:09:20.660 Defamation much?

02:09:23.200 He just called Stephen Miller a Nazi.

02:09:27.100 And then goes, yes, he's a Nazi.

02:09:29.660 How does that qualify? 0.54

02:09:31.660 And I understand the whole thing with public figures, you know, you're a public figure, you're a politician. If the if the criteria for defaming someone or slandering someone wasn't kept to a very high standard as far as public figures go, especially politicians, there'd be cases every single second of every

02:10:01.660 day. So I get that. There's something called parody, which is protected under the First

02:10:09.140 Amendment. And if something's parodied, it's very, very difficult to prove that you are

02:10:15.680 defamed or slandered in that parody. But I mean, that's blatant. De Niro's just saying

02:10:23.460 the guy's a nazi what is it that saying someone's a nazi nazi in and of itself is so hard to define

02:10:33.260 like oh because believe me i've been called a nazi plenty of people i know have been called

02:10:39.280 nazis adolf hitler himmler they've all been called not oh oh oh i see the difference there

02:10:48.280 but de niro like calling steven miller a nazi like that i think he should probably

02:10:56.380 seek legal counsel and try to get a few bucks out of de niro it's some of that uh

02:11:03.580 some of that casino money but you know again just another guy and it really is a credit

02:11:13.380 to De Niro's work

02:11:15.400 that people still watch his movies.

02:11:19.100 And the ensemble casting helps.

02:11:21.580 You know, Joe Pesci

02:11:22.400 and the rest of the cast of characters

02:11:25.400 in movies like Goodfellas and Casino.

02:11:29.360 But he's really getting close.

02:11:32.300 He's really treading on thin ice here

02:11:36.580 when it comes to people just going, 0.97

02:11:38.000 no, screw him. 0.93

02:11:39.660 I can't even look at him anymore 0.98

02:11:41.740 and be entertained.

02:11:45.640 I think he just made it to be grandfathered in 0.99

02:11:48.980 where he could be a complete jackass 0.99

02:11:52.020 and you'll still watch his movies. 0.99

02:11:54.320 Nothing new, by the way.

02:11:56.040 Nothing he does now

02:11:57.480 I would want to even take a passing glance at.

02:12:03.080 No one really cares about what De Niro's doing today,

02:12:07.220 But he's really close to completely destroying his amazing legacy

02:12:14.980 as a great actor in some of the greatest movies ever made.

02:12:20.120 So keep it up.

02:12:22.760 Keep it up.

02:12:23.900 Maybe Miller will sue you for defamation.

02:12:27.580 I don't know.

02:12:28.620 Can you call someone a Nazi like that?

02:12:31.520 So absolute, so without comedy or parody or any type of irony

02:12:37.820 You're just calling him a Nazi on a very big platform.

02:12:43.360 You're a very big voice.

02:12:45.700 So I don't know.

02:12:47.280 That's something right there.

02:12:50.080 Good luck to you, Bobby D.

02:12:55.980 What the hell else we got here?

02:12:58.520 Oh, Canada.

02:12:59.280 Here's another kind of a thing.

02:13:00.760 This isn't so much on the level of the thermostats being controlled by the state.

02:13:10.220 But this is kind of weird.

02:13:12.520 Canada, Canada Air, is that an airliner?

02:13:16.180 They actually want to have you pay to recline your seat.

02:13:22.720 This is insane.

02:13:24.580 I've gotten into so many arguments with people.

02:13:27.400 My good buddy Gavin, Gavin McInnes, he believes that you should not put your seat back on a plane.

02:13:34.160 We should all sit there at a 90-degree angle to our thighs and take the pain.

02:13:42.160 Take the pain!

02:13:44.260 When the airline itself has made the seats with the ability to recline,

02:13:52.560 Why wouldn't I use it as a convenience or to the person behind me?

02:14:00.160 Well, their seat goes back.

02:14:02.660 Let's all feel bad for the guy in 32A.

02:14:08.320 His seat butted right against the bathroom in the back of the plane.

02:14:15.400 That last seat goes back, and he's like, well, I'm screwed.

02:14:20.280 Well, now you know.

02:14:21.460 book your flight a little earlier

02:14:23.660 maybe a little first class

02:14:25.880 maybe a little comfort class

02:14:27.460 but if you're getting the last seat

02:14:29.700 on a plane and like

02:14:31.600 dominoes all those seats

02:14:33.840 fall backwards and you're the last

02:14:35.800 one that has to have

02:14:37.640 the

02:14:38.400 tray in your gut

02:14:41.880 sorry

02:14:42.780 so be it I'm not

02:14:45.560 being uncomfortable my entire

02:14:47.660 flight because

02:14:49.200 the poor guy in the last row of the plane.

02:14:53.100 So I don't know how this works.

02:14:55.620 Let's listen.

02:14:56.480 I think there's sound to this clip where Canada Air,

02:14:59.460 they want you to pay to recline your seat.

02:15:04.560 Well, if you want to recline on your flight,

02:15:06.600 you might have to pay for it.

02:15:07.960 Canadian airline WestJet says it's removing reclining seats

02:15:11.320 in standard economy as it rolls out its new Boeing fleet.

02:15:15.440 43 planes will be reconfigured and phased in over the next year.

02:15:20.680 It's the high-flying debate that can cause cabin pressures to rise.

02:15:25.300 It's totally okay to recline your seat.

02:15:28.500 That's what it's there for.

02:15:30.080 To recline or not to recline, on average, it's only two to three inches here.

02:15:34.340 I think that you should be able to recline your seat on a 10-hour flight.

02:15:37.040 I told her, I was like, if you want to be comfy, get first class.

02:15:39.060 But for some, there's no question.

02:15:40.900 But now airlines like Canada's WestJet are making it a financial decision.

02:15:45.800 Rolling out reconfigured planes starting this month with standard economy seats that don't allow you to push back and relax.

02:15:53.880 If you do want to recline, now it'll cost you.

02:15:56.820 Airlines are figuring out how to segment pricing all across the board.

02:16:00.820 And if you want a little extra comfort, you're going to pay for it.

02:16:03.760 That's what they're saying to everyone.

02:16:04.800 The changes will roll out on 43 WestJet planes with standard economy seats featuring a, quote, fixed recline design.

02:16:12.580 The airline saying it will help preserve personal space.

02:16:16.080 Extended comfort and premium seats that do recline are also available if you pay more.

02:16:21.740 WestJet bright siding calling this an investment in, quote, guest experience.

02:16:26.300 Saying the cabin has been thoughtfully designed to offer WestJet's welcoming service at every budget.

02:16:32.020 but flight attendants are bracing for a bumpy flight we have been saying for almost 60 years

02:16:37.340 sit back relax and enjoy your flight and now people are going to come with that expectation

02:16:42.840 and not be able to do that and every time that happens we usually have to deal with conflict on

02:16:47.840 board oh boy oh boy did you hear that and again the way they word things fixed recline it's not

02:17:00.080 fixed recline it's fixed sit up they didn't recline the seat and then lock it in place

02:17:09.500 so every time you sit there you're lounging back and reclined no they keep it to where no one's

02:17:17.800 able to recline and if you want to that you better get first class or maybe they'll have some kind of

02:17:23.860 a um comfort class but uh that that is amazing and here's another reason they're doing it let's

02:17:32.860 not be stupid here reclining seats yes the the seat back will infringe on your real estate uh

02:17:41.460 for the person behind the person reclining if no one can recline then they could just maybe move 0.99

02:17:49.640 the seats a little closer together it's not reclining anymore they have to take that into

02:17:55.980 consideration with spacing the seat let's say the guy in row 32 doesn't want to recline but the guy

02:18:05.620 in row 31 does well we have to space the seats enough to compensate for the guy reclining we

02:18:13.100 don't want the seat in right in the guy's face so if no one can recline they could push those seats

02:18:20.580 together and what does that make yes enough room for another non-reclining seat it's all

02:18:30.440 to rip you off just a little more less comfort and then the price ends up being the same

02:18:40.260 they don't discount this they just go you don't like it leave you don't like it find another

02:18:48.020 airline how about that so you know oh what a screw move that is and then they're using

02:18:59.440 the recline don't recline debate to jack the price up or keep the price the same

02:19:05.980 but add more seats to their, um, aircrafts.

02:19:09.880 Oh God.

02:19:11.580 Oh, am I so pessimistic about life?

02:19:15.580 All right.

02:19:16.460 We will return.

02:19:17.640 Stick around.

02:19:19.420 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the red apple podcast network.

02:19:25.720 It's the Anthony Cumia show on the red apple podcast network.

02:19:32.140 Oh yeah.

02:19:33.140 Speaking of whipping out free speech, every Wednesday or Thursday, is it?

02:19:39.640 Probably Thursday.

02:19:41.080 I put out a 15-minute podcast a little edgier than this.

02:19:46.220 Look out.

02:19:47.740 The language is a little saltier.

02:19:51.600 But you could get that on YouTube at the 77 WABC Radio YouTube channel.

02:20:01.080 So check that out.

02:20:03.140 It's been getting a great response, and thank you.

02:20:06.920 Thanks to the people.

02:20:08.960 The Super Bowl, I have been, oof, just, I am in the no-care zone

02:20:15.140 about any professional sport right now.

02:20:18.960 It isn't so much politically motivated, you know.

02:20:22.080 Some of this is like, oh, you see, they put up, you know,

02:20:25.040 end racism in the end zone, so I'm not going to watch.

02:20:28.860 I'm just bored.

02:20:30.660 I'm bored with it, all right?

02:20:33.040 All right, look, look, I'm bored with it.

02:20:35.820 It's just there's nothing going on in professional sports really making me go,

02:20:42.780 oh, I got to watch this.

02:20:44.660 So some of the nonsense going on is kind of fun to follow,

02:20:48.220 and one such thing is the Super Bowl halftime show.

02:20:54.180 I've talked about this before.

02:20:56.100 Jay-Z has a company.

02:20:58.520 You know, Jay-Z and Beyonce, they are billionaires.

02:21:02.400 and all they do is talk about how horrible and oppressive 0.96

02:21:06.240 and racist America is, systemically racist. 0.91

02:21:09.660 How do you become a billionaire in a systemically racist country

02:21:12.440 if you're one of the marginalized people on the, I don't know.

02:21:16.600 Anyway, I'm not even talking about that.

02:21:18.820 What I'm talking about is the halftime show

02:21:20.740 and the fact that Jay-Z runs a company that does the booking

02:21:24.380 for the halftime show.

02:21:26.360 and uh since he took over the booking in 2019 in 2019 there was a white band that played

02:21:37.560 every year since there has been a person of color that has done the halftime show i don't think jay

02:21:45.600 z ever wants another white person to do the halftime show but that's just me people call

02:21:51.420 me racist all the time but i'm just saying hey remember oscars too white and then all of a sudden

02:21:57.820 they had to start giving academy awards and changing the rules to the academy awards to

02:22:03.400 keeping uh marginalized people in in the loop and letting uh ethnic minorities have more of a chance

02:22:12.640 of winning oscars well i think we're going to get to that point with the super bowl halftime show

02:22:17.320 because Jay-Z refuses to allow anyone but people of color to perform,

02:22:24.560 and he's the guy making the choices.

02:22:27.460 So Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, he's your man.

02:22:31.820 He's your guy.

02:22:32.780 This is your halftime show.

02:22:35.740 And again, I look at who I believe would be the P1 viewer of the Super Bowl,

02:22:44.940 the people that demographically would be the people you would assume

02:22:49.800 would watch the Super Bowl.

02:22:51.800 And I think it's a lot of blue-collar American guys.

02:22:55.920 Football.

02:22:56.840 We'll sit there, we'll get our chips and salsa and beers

02:23:00.180 and watch the Super Bowl. 1.00

02:23:04.440 So to have these minority artists that, you know,

02:23:08.960 the word minority in and of itself means,

02:23:11.560 it's not the the bulk of the the people the majority of people watching football are not

02:23:20.820 in line with the uh minority of people that are performing at the super bowl and again personally

02:23:29.580 i don't really care i i don't usually watch the halftime show um and i really don't care about it

02:23:39.440 But as a point of conversation and as a point to show kind of how screwed up things are in this country

02:23:48.760 and how somehow Jay-Z has taken command of what people will watch on the halftime show at the Super Bowl,

02:23:56.640 Bad Bunny is your guy.

02:23:59.900 He is, I don't even know.

02:24:03.360 I don't even know. 0.89

02:24:04.980 Colombian?

02:24:06.280 Puerto Rican?

02:24:06.960 I think he's Puerto Rican. 1.00

02:24:08.080 But who cares? 1.00

02:24:09.300 Who cares?

02:24:09.980 We're a diverse, amazing country.

02:24:12.400 The Statue of Liberty says give us your tired and your something else

02:24:15.860 if you listened earlier in the program.

02:24:18.160 But Bad Bunny, this is going to be your entertainment.

02:24:21.500 He did SNL recently, and he did his monologue in Español,

02:24:29.540 and he said if you don't understand that,

02:24:33.120 you better learn Spanish before the Super Bowl 1.00

02:24:35.820 because then you'll just be sitting there like an idiot 1.00

02:24:38.500 who doesn't know what the likes of Bad Bunny is saying. 1.00

02:24:43.420 Imagine that, watching the Super Bowl,

02:24:46.480 and then you get to the halftime show and Bad Bunny is speaking.

02:24:49.860 You're like, oh, no, I don't know what Bad Bunny is saying.

02:24:55.600 Oh, what a speed bump in your life that would be.

02:25:02.400 Well, let's listen to Bad Bunny isolated vocals.

02:25:06.200 This is Bad Bunny without any music.

02:25:08.740 They isolated his vocals.

02:25:10.160 Let's see what a scary talent Bad Bunny is.

02:25:12.680 Bad Bunny.

02:25:36.200 Oh, that's your guy out of anybody.

02:26:05.120 they could have picked to do the halftime show, Super Bowl,

02:26:09.880 Jay-Z and company decided that that was your guy.

02:26:13.800 Sounds like Eddie Murphy in Trading Places.

02:26:17.820 Jerky?

02:26:21.400 Jerky? 1.00

02:26:23.280 Yeah, that's your scary, talented, bad bunny. 0.76
