00:01:15 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:01:21 Hey, how is everyone this Sunday evening?

00:01:26 It is the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:01:28 i would be anthony cumia that would make perfect sense and i'm glad it works out that way thanks

00:01:34 for tuning in because uh you know what the hell else you're gonna do sundays roll around man i

00:01:41 don't even know why they're considered part of the weekend quite frankly you got your friday right

00:01:47 you're done with work you oh man you're out carousing having fun because you're like

00:01:54 And it's the beginning of the weekend.

00:01:57 I just got off of work.

00:01:59 I don't have to be to work until Monday.

00:02:02 And then you hang out, you party, you have a great time.

00:02:06 And Saturday, oh, maybe the old lady has some chores for me, but it's Saturday.

00:02:15 And then Sunday, Sunday morning you wake up and, I don't know, it's got that vibe.

00:02:21 It's just got that vibe.

00:02:23 And then by the afternoon, mid-afternoon, I'd say, it just sinks in.

00:02:30 From mid-afternoon until you get up to go to work Monday, it's not a fun day.

00:02:37 I don't know.

00:02:39 That's how I feel about it, and I've seen a lot of other people with their various posts and memes on social media.

00:02:45 because that's really the only way I see how people feel about anything on a given day

00:02:51 through the intranets.

00:02:55 But, yeah, Sunday, oh, it's just a drag.

00:02:57 But at 8 o'clock, it becomes a great time until 11,

00:03:02 and then you go, ah, Anthony's show is done.

00:03:07 Now all I can think of is work.

00:03:10 Well, I'm glad you tuned in.

00:03:12 if uh if uh you're you're watching football you could turn the sound down and turn this up

00:03:21 and you could still catch your football games but i guess if you're a big thing this sunday is the

00:03:29 mtv video music awards well then i guess i lost you i guess i lost you to that although i don't

00:03:37 really see a crossover in demographic from the 2026 vmas to uh the uh anthony cumia show

00:03:48 i don't know you know for years years literally years and years and years we've been saying

00:03:56 as uh your your whatever your generation is gets older uh and you can remember mtv

00:04:03 you just think like i don't even know what that is anymore i've i don't think i've turned on

00:04:10 the channel uh in decades and uh any clips i see or any events that they do like the vmas or

00:04:19 the uh uh what else do they have there's the video music awards and then like the movie

00:04:28 awards or something i don't know but uh no one no one above a certain age cares but i don't even see

00:04:36 anyone talking about it online it doesn't seem to be that mtv is a big influence on uh any

00:04:44 generation at this point uh it was huge my god was it a huge thing in the early 80s right up

00:04:55 into the 90s but the entire 80s i would say was just devoted to mtv mtv had uh you talk about the

00:05:05 finger on the pulse of uh culture of youth culture music culture it was huge uh everyone watched mtv

00:05:17 it was really aside from radio the only way uh well obviously your own collection of albums

00:05:23 and tapes but uh it was uh you got to see your your favorite bands and and whatnot performing

00:05:33 and some of the ridiculous videos that they used to have it was so funny they man did they put

00:05:39 money behind videos back then the early ones uh like of course the first one the buggles with

00:05:47 The video killed the radio star.

00:05:49 Not a big budget video.

00:05:51 A lot of them. 1.00

00:05:51 Flock of Seagulls, Iran. 1.00

00:05:53 Remember that one? 1.00

00:05:54 Not Iran or Iran, but Iran.

00:05:59 And it was the band standing on a turntable or something with a camera in the middle, 0.57

00:06:06 and they were all covered in tinfoil.

00:06:09 And the guy had the, well, Flock of Seagulls hairdo.

00:06:13 And those were cheap videos.

00:06:14 No one cared.

00:06:15 It was like, oh, you made a video.

00:06:17 put it out on mtv and then when they realized how important the visual aspect of music was in the

00:06:24 80s uh the money just poured in and you started getting these long form videos of course michael

00:06:32 jackson thriller was just a movie uh but there were still bands you know that just had it was

00:06:41 like you had to have your uh yahoo is you had to have yahoo women and then you had to have maybe

00:06:47 some midgets sometimes you have midgets running around and then uh the the bands had to be 0.97

00:06:54 maybe sometimes they were dressed like knights like uh war warriors with swords really ridiculous 0.97

00:07:03 nothing that had anything to do with the songs themselves but it was fun you know it was a very 0.70

00:07:10 interesting and entertaining there of course with the live performances you'd get uh black

00:07:16 sabbath ozzy osbourne just uh doing a live performance those are always great uh and then

00:07:23 i don't know what did it mtv raps is that is that what finally did it is that the video that killed

00:07:34 the video star because uh throughout the 90s was the decline obviously grunge that really

00:07:43 reinvigorated uh mtv you still wanted to see the bands pearl jam had some great videos

00:07:51 sound garden black hole sun was a weird creepy uh video it was fantastic and uh you know that

00:07:59 continued nirvana uh and then it just i think the internet and especially in the early to mid

00:08:12 2000s uh people just didn't care anymore they could see what they wanted on their phones once

00:08:20 the iphone came out uh they had access to their own music with itunes and things like that so you

00:08:26 didn't have to with an iPod so you didn't have to depend on MTV playing songs you wanted to see

00:08:34 or if you wanted to see a video or your favorite band perform live you could do that on your phone

00:08:39 and that really destroyed MTV I don't think it was any one thing culture changed to you know for

00:08:49 whatever that's worth worth so uh that they're still doing this is amazing to me i do not know

00:08:57 anyone who watches probably a good thing if i knew anyone who watched mtv uh i'd probably have

00:09:04 chris hansen coming over anthony why don't you have a seat right there now i saw your texts

00:09:10 and you talked about sacks did you want to have sacks with the yes chris i'm fine thank you you

00:09:17 You want a Zima and some hot nachos?

00:09:22 Zima.

00:09:23 What did you bring to the house, Anthony? 1.00

00:09:25 Well, I have a Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine for the gal

00:09:31 and some Cool Ranch Doritos.

00:09:36 Cool Ranch Doritos.

00:09:38 I like how we always reiterate.

00:09:40 Did you bring condoms?

00:09:42 Yes, I brought condoms.

00:09:44 You brought condoms.

00:09:45 i've not seen the new movie yet prime time i've not seen that chris hansen's a great guy 0.78

00:09:53 i i like him a lot still trying to get him on the damn show i gotta uh sync it up for when i'm in

00:10:00 new york but uh i got off track a little bit mtv yeah so they're doing the vmas and uh i talk about

00:10:09 how the young people have been watching mtv but they're really not and i think mtv realizes that

00:10:16 because uh a couple of the big names at this year's vmas you might have heard of this young

00:10:22 upstart uh gal madonna anyone heard about this new artist madonna yes madonna is up for awards

00:10:34 for the Video Music Award.

00:10:37 Does anyone remember seeing a Madonna video

00:10:43 in the past at least 20 years?

00:10:48 I really don't.

00:10:50 Got to be honest.

00:10:51 She has a new video out 0.80

00:10:54 that is up for a Video Music Award?

00:10:58 Is that what I'm being led to believe?

00:11:01 I saw the little red carpet deal

00:11:03 And Paris Hilton, you know, that youngster, that gal that is so popular with the kids these days, Paris Hilton.

00:11:16 And, of course, Taylor Swift, she's up for a bunch of awards because it's Taylor Swift.

00:11:21 And the young girls still do like her.

00:11:24 But I don't think it's as big for the youngsters as it was even a few years ago.

00:11:30 You know, these artists get a little older.

00:11:32 The kids, they find someone else to enjoy.

00:11:38 But I get the Taylor Swift thing.

00:11:40 But Madonna, Paris Hilton, and Nirvana, the surviving members of Nirvana.

00:11:47 They were up there.

00:11:48 I saw a clip of them in a photo shoot.

00:11:52 They were taking their picture.

00:11:54 It looked like a law firm.

00:11:57 They looked like a law firm.

00:11:59 it was just

00:12:01 you know

00:12:03 I understand

00:12:05 time moves on

00:12:07 people get older

00:12:09 we've all gotten older

00:12:10 but it's

00:12:12 odd that it seems MTV

00:12:15 is embracing the heyday

00:12:17 I mean when you talk

00:12:19 Madonna and Nirvana

00:12:21 that is the heyday

00:12:25 of MTV

00:12:27 in the 80's and the 90's

00:12:28 And the fact that they're embracing that, trying to get them on board here for the VMAs, kind of tells me it's over, Johnny.

00:12:37 Nothing's over.

00:12:39 It's not over.

00:12:39 Nothing's over.

00:12:40 Thank you, Mr. Rambo.

00:12:44 All right.

00:12:45 That and, boy, plenty more. 1.00

00:12:49 We have Kamala Harris sounding like the idiot she is. 1.00

00:12:52 Congresswoman Presley 1.00

00:12:56 she apparently thinks lynchings

00:12:59 are still going on

00:12:59 and perhaps a ban on

00:13:02 Glocks

00:13:03 that and so much more

00:13:06 when we continue

00:14:12 Youth today are operating in an information environment that is highly selected, highly personalized. So my information world online looks completely different from yours.

00:14:31 I'm Patricia Cosim, Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner, and the host of Info Matters.

00:14:37 We hear from people from all walks of life about the access and privacy issues that matter most to them.

00:14:44 Listen now at ipc.on.ca or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:14:53 It is indeed the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:14:55 And, hey, is anyone else getting e-mails from these jilted chicks, Trump, Vance, and Don Jr.?

00:15:04 I am just, every time I open my e-mail, you know, I donated during the presidential elections, all of them.

00:15:15 And once you do that, I guess you get on a list.

00:15:18 And it's the Vance, Trump, and Don Jr. emails do not stop. 0.97

00:15:26 They're like jilted chicks.

00:15:29 That's what it's like getting these.

00:15:31 It's like, have you forgotten me?

00:15:35 Why haven't you replied?

00:15:38 Look, I like you, Don Jr., but I'm over it.

00:15:43 They seem to think, and I know it's, you know,

00:15:47 Obviously, I know it's not them, but I know it's not even their re-election committee or their war chest or whatever it is.

00:15:56 I know it's these other fundraising and scams, too.

00:16:04 A lot of them are scams that get in there.

00:16:07 But it's so funny how they word the subjects in the email.

00:16:11 It's like, oh, this is from Donald Jr. Trump.

00:16:14 oh my god i best look into this maybe it's important maybe they need me at the white house

00:16:21 and then you look and it's like did i do something to hurt you

00:16:26 look we had a good time i sent you flowers yeah for some reason uh it won't stop i still find it

00:16:37 kind of funny but i'm just wondering if i'm alone in that whole thing so uh yeah we were just talking

00:16:43 about mtv and the of course the big changes over the course of the years they're doing the

00:16:47 video music awards tonight and it's kind of an they're embracing uh madonna paris hilton

00:16:55 nirvana uh a lot of artists that i think young people don't even know who the hell they are

00:17:03 and the fact that madonna has a music video out that's up for an award who's who has seen this

00:17:08 i know i could walk out on the streets and ask people of all ages have you seen the new madonna

00:17:15 video and 100 percent would say get away from me and put some pants on for god's sake i'm teasing

00:17:23 of course they would say no i have not seen a madonna video in eons let's go to joaquin there

00:17:32 in pennsylvania joaquin uh what's up my friend hey good evening anthony hey you know do you

00:17:39 remember when mtv first came out back in the 70s they had 81 81 was the first year joaquin

00:17:47 it was 81 yeah there was a there were those sex exercising videos do you remember those uh yeah

00:17:55 that was uh hold on joaquin joaquin you're you're mistaken you're confusing a couple of things i

00:18:03 understand because it was very erotic you're thinking of showtime showtime late at night

00:18:09 used to have uh in between their their movies or programming they would have those girls on a

00:18:15 turntable uh doing aerobics and they were very scantily clad and if you don't remember that 0.97

00:18:22 I might have to say you're gay. 0.99

00:18:25 Maybe my teenage friends would sit down and watch that. 1.00

00:18:30 Oh, it was fantastic.

00:18:33 Look, these days, of course, you have your phone in your hand, 0.73

00:18:36 which is a gateway to some of the most debaucherous, degenerate pornography you'll ever see.

00:18:42 But back in those days, Joaquin, I'm sure you recall, we didn't have that.

00:18:47 We had to find forage for any type of erotica we could find.

00:18:54 If you're walking through the woods one day and a pile of leaves and you kick it and a playboy was in there.

00:19:00 Someone else had stashed a playboy in there.

00:19:03 That was how you saw your erotica as a kid. 0.62

00:19:07 And then to see those girls doing aerobics on Showtime and Skinemax, as they used to call Cinemax, it was amazing.

00:19:15 It was an amazing time.

00:19:18 MTV did have their spring break thing where they would show wet T-shirt contests and bikini contests and stuff.

00:19:27 But, yeah, that's all irrelevant these days, man.

00:19:32 Yeah, you know, also, too, as far as music goes, I mean, I've done a lot of karaoke.

00:19:38 I'm actually very good at singing country music.

00:19:40 and you would be surprised

00:19:42 that people in their 20s

00:19:44 they love the old music

00:19:46 like Ronnie Millsop, Johnny Cash

00:19:48 Yeah

00:19:49 The list actually is endless

00:19:52 as far as that goes

00:19:54 Yeah, you bring up a good point

00:19:56 I do get jaded

00:19:58 and I try to

00:19:59 I try to imagine

00:20:02 a world where that's a thing

00:20:04 where younger generations do

00:20:06 kind of appreciate some of the older stuff

00:20:08 and it is true

00:20:10 Because I have seen videos where these kids who are amazing these days in bands, you see these kids that are 10, 12 years old, and they're playing their instruments as good as people in their 20s and 30s did many years ago.

00:20:27 And they're playing classic rock songs.

00:20:31 So, yeah, while I sound very jaded, you bring up a good point there, Joaquin.

00:20:36 you know there was one night i had this guy in his 20s hanging out with me when i was doing

00:20:42 karaoke and he goes you see those girls over there he goes sing ronnie milsap no getting over

00:20:48 me he goes they'll go nuts over it and he was right and they were uh they were younger uh women

00:20:56 they were in their 20s joaquin why don't you take a seat over here what did you bring 0.99

00:21:02 thank you Joaquin uh well you're talking about slags yeah so that's um you know MTV it was it 0.99

00:21:14 was an institution as they call it an institution oh I want my MTV remember that people didn't know 1.00

00:21:23 that was staying singing I want my MTV in the background it was a big thing when you went over

00:21:30 your friend's house you pretty much sat around with mtv on and you talked about stuff you know

00:21:36 you packed a bowl or rolled some doobes let me tell you kids what we used to do back in the old

00:21:45 days we'd put on that mtv and roll some doobies oh when a seed would pop in a doobie it was like

00:21:54 a cartoon exploding cigar forget about it now i couldn't imagine smoking the weed or going to a

00:22:04 dispensary and getting the edibles and things that people have now i would smoke homegrown and when i

00:22:13 say homegrown literally it was out your window box attached to your house hopefully your mom

00:22:19 didn't see it the plants got maybe two feet high and you ripped the uh plant out you'd put it in

00:22:26 the oven to dry it just leaves you weren't there wasn't even seeds and don't talk about buds there

00:22:35 was it was literally leaves uh and then you'd roll it up smoke like three of them to try to get any

00:22:42 type of feeling of a buzz and then you'd feel like you were having a cerebral hemorrhage

00:22:48 with the headache you'd get that's what it was like in the good old days kids how could you not

00:22:55 look back and remember fondly uh lewis what's up man jersey hey what's up hey i'm italian now listen

00:23:06 we just got to understand that times are changing i know i'm going to give you a perfect example

00:23:13 I saw it on Fox News like five years ago, and I'd laugh myself to sleep every time.

00:23:19 You remember when we used to sit around Italian family and we'd say, 0.97

00:23:23 remember the Brazilian nuts?

00:23:25 Now, you can't, I haven't heard that.

00:23:30 We haven't done that in 40 years.

00:23:33 Well, of course not.

00:23:35 Times change.

00:23:36 I, as an Italian, grew up in an Italian family.

00:23:40 I've been going over to relatives' houses for holidays for many, many years.

00:23:45 Yep.

00:23:45 And there was a term that some people used for a Brazilian nut that is so, so insensitive and offensive these days.

00:23:58 But it was ballyed around the table like it was past the turkey.

00:24:03 It was like nothing.

00:24:05 That's just what it was.

00:24:06 That's what we just got to figure.

00:24:09 The times have changed, man.

00:24:10 They have.

00:24:11 I know.

00:24:11 I know, Lewis.

00:24:12 I'm not delusional, but, you know.

00:26:18 or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:26:20 program indeed he do can you tell i'm doing something i'm like cutting pasting and printing

00:26:29 something that i have here because i need it if we want to talk about the great kamala harris

00:26:37 kamala kamala kamala she wants to be called kamala i love when trump was doing that with her

00:26:43 let me reach over the printer there it is and uh yeah kamala kamala i call it kamala i can't say

00:26:54 the kamala it was always kamala i shouldn't have to i shouldn't have to know how to pronounce

00:26:59 a wacky name like that i've never said like oh suzanne no it's susan anthony oh i thought it

00:27:06 with suzanne oh katharin no it's katherine oh i see why would i just say katharin it's um 0.98

00:27:14 it's a stupid name for a stupid person if i may be so bold so uh kamala she's been making the rounds 0.80

00:27:24 she's been hanging out with abdul al-sayid abdul al-sayid another name that i should not know i 1.00

00:27:32 should not even know that name unless it's a newscast saying abdul al-said the terrorist has

00:27:40 been uh taken out by the israeli defense force something like that but i have to know that abdul

00:27:48 al-said is a candidate for the senate in this country in this country yeah so he made the

00:27:57 glaring error of, uh, latching himself to Kamala Harris, uh, during his campaign. This was funny

00:28:06 last week. He was just flabbergasted. She was sitting next to him at some event and, uh,

00:28:18 Kamala just kept rambling on about things. She has not changed a bit. She has not taken

00:28:26 what everyone says about her that she's an idiot that it's word salad she's a rambling babbling 1.00

00:28:33 buffoon she has not taken any of that to heart and gone maybe maybe i should do something to 1.00

00:28:40 change people's attitude on she just plows ahead with the same moronic nonsense pouring out of her 0.98

00:28:49 maw at every turn and uh there were a couple of times abdul al-sayid was uh sitting there 0.97

00:28:58 looking horrified so uh here she is this she wants to uh of course portray herself 0.71

00:29:07 as a black woman now we know she's really not she's indian jamaican i i don't even know but 1.00

00:29:16 But I don't think you can consider her African-American, maybe in some circles. 0.93

00:29:25 But she's whatever she needs to be. 1.00

00:29:29 She's a retarded chameleon. 1.00

00:29:32 And when she speaks, it's whatever she needs to be at that moment. 1.00

00:29:37 When she's addressing the NAACP, she puts a little jive in her talk.

00:29:44 right people am i right it's really embarrassing to watch her but uh here she is this clip is ac1

00:29:54 this is the one where she's saying and this is a new thing to say everyone says this on the left

00:30:00 this is a big one that chuck schumer's been saying that we are in the new jim crow era jim crow 2.0

00:30:08 We're back to the Jim Crow era. 0.91

00:30:13 Very ridiculous, insulting thing to say, quite frankly. 0.92

00:30:18 So let's listen to Carmela. 0.97

00:30:20 Carmela, Jesus Christ. 0.78

00:30:23 Let's listen to Kamala say that we're back in the Jim Crow era. 1.00

00:30:27 That's just politics.

00:30:30 OK.

00:30:32 OK.

00:30:32 I want us to couple that with the work that's been happening for over a decade now 0.98

00:30:39 to erase black history in America. 0.95

00:30:43 What?

00:30:44 Including the history of racism in America.

00:30:48 So they say, the court, most recently, that's not, that's politics, that's okay.

00:30:56 Basically, whatever happens in politics is okay.

00:30:58 What they have done is they have backdoored racism through the door of politics.

00:31:07 What they have done is return us to a Jim Crow era, and we have seen the consequence of that in real time.

00:31:16 Because, again, these folks have an agenda, and they are quick to implement it. 0.63

00:31:21 So immediately thereafter, states started redrawing their lines.

00:31:27 Oh, I was in Louisiana recently. It's ground zero. It was Louisiana Calais was the name of the case.

00:31:34 It is predicted that because of that decision, we will lose up to one third of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

00:31:45 Congressional Black Caucus. Return to Jim Crow. Really? Really, Kamala? 0.90

00:31:53 When was the last time you went into a Woolworths, sat at the malt counter, and someone dumped 0.99

00:32:02 a shake over your head because you're a black woman? 1.00

00:32:06 That's Jim Crow. 1.00

00:32:08 That's Jim Crow.

00:32:11 There's plenty of instances of unbelievable bigotry, prejudice, racism, oppression, all

00:32:20 of that in the Jim Crow era.

00:32:23 To to say that what we are living in now in the United States of America, as far as black people are concerned, is a resurgence of Jim Crow. 0.99

00:32:35 You're out of your mind. It is such a cheap, ham handed way to try to race bait. 0.99

00:32:44 It's exactly what she's doing right here. Jim Crow era trying to backdoor racism. 1.00

00:32:53 Is it one or the other? 0.97

00:32:55 Jim Crow America wasn't backdooring racism. 1.00

00:33:00 That was right at your front door. 0.96

00:33:02 Hello, racist here. 0.99

00:33:06 It's either backdooring racism or it's Jim Crow. 0.98

00:33:09 Can't be bold, but she's throwing anything against the wall 1.00

00:33:14 to see if it'll stick, and just disgusting. 1.00

00:33:19 This always happens around election time, presidential or midterm election. 0.91

00:33:26 You will see this type of nonsense run rampant right after the election.

00:33:33 We won't hear about this. 0.88

00:33:34 We won't hear about Jim Crow racism, not from the likes of Kamala Harris.

00:33:39 Anyway, we won't hear that.

00:33:41 A.I. is an existential threat that will murder everyone in 10 years.

00:33:45 all this will disappear immediately following the election results on election day in november

00:33:55 you got to understand why they're doing this so uh here's another one and this one's very odd 0.94

00:34:02 well if it was anyone else it would be odd but it's camilla harris and she's a blithering buffoon

00:34:07 uh she's talking about voter registration roles and uh she's actually saying what trump and what

00:34:20 republicans have been saying about the voter roles being full of people that are not uh legal voters

00:34:30 They are not allowed to vote in our elections.

00:34:35 Listen to how she tries to put this.

00:34:37 AC2 would be the clip.

00:34:47 AC2 is the clip.

00:34:49 They are cheating by purging voter rolls.

00:34:52 So we say as leaders then to folks, not only must you register to vote,

00:34:57 Check your voter registration status to make sure you haven't been purged from the rolls.

00:35:05 They're trying to take our tools, but we are a creative people.

00:35:09 People?

00:35:10 And we know how to fight.

00:35:13 And we have always been fighting against the odds, and that has never deterred us.

00:35:21 This was at an NAACP event.

00:35:24 You could tell, can't you?

00:35:27 We are the people that will make this world.

00:35:32 She turns into Martin Luther King.

00:35:37 Kamala Harris says voter registration rolls are being purged.

00:35:40 Of what? Of who?

00:35:43 Can she point out one instance where somebody that is absolutely legitimately on those voter rolls being removed?

00:35:54 They're citizens. They're not convicted felons. They are registered in good standing in the district that they're voting and all those things that we all do to legally vote.

00:36:10 can she come up with one single instance in a country of 350 odd million people

00:36:18 of a citizen who was absolutely legitimate legal registered voter that could not vote

00:36:25 because voter rolls were purged of their name i'll answer that no she can't none of them can

00:36:35 so what what is she talking about he wants to purr the voter roll 0.97

00:36:41 uh of what kamala of illegals of people that aren't allowed to vote yeah we want that 1.00

00:36:56 americans all americans should want that the ridiculous brainwashed idiots on the left of 1.00

00:37:03 of course, are easily manipulated into thinking there's something wrong 1.00

00:37:08 with wanting only qualified, legitimate, legal voters to vote. 0.99

00:37:15 You want illegal aliens to vote. 0.89

00:37:18 And if they're getting kicked off voter rolls,

00:37:21 and dead people are getting kicked off,

00:37:24 and convicted felons are getting kicked off,

00:37:27 and anyone else that should not be voting in our elections is getting kicked off,

00:37:31 that's what we want.

00:37:33 That's what we voted for.

00:37:36 It's one of the platforms that Trump ran on that I like to see that at least they're trying to do something.

00:37:42 The roadblocks are being thrown in the way at every turn.

00:37:46 judges and uh letitia james in new york and her struggle to allow people that should not be 1.00

00:37:59 allowed to vote to vote is uh abominable but there she is kamala harris saying that the voter 0.99

00:38:08 registration rolls are being purged but she doesn't say of who and she doesn't bring up

00:38:13 one single example of a person that was legally allowed to vote that was purged from those voter

00:38:21 rolls that's what you get with the left that's this is kamala she's she's stumping for uh for 0.99

00:38:30 the left for the democrats the midterm elections and this is the type of bs that she's throwing 0.94

00:38:38 out there how about dei diversity equity and inclusion one of the worst things to ever happen

00:38:47 to this country we are so so seeing the effects of the dei policies uh from a few years ago

00:39:00 So encroaching on every industry, some of which it's downright dangerous to have DEI people running things in the aviation industry, the medical industry, engineering.

00:39:21 all of these things if you let people in that are not qualified and the only reason they have 0.92

00:39:27 been let in is because of some skin color religion sexual orientation uh you are putting 0.94

00:39:35 the entire nation in danger no one's going to sell me any different on that one i think you 1.00

00:39:40 have to be an idiot to not realize that that is what happens when you allow unqualified people 1.00

00:39:47 to be put in positions of power based on anything but their merits. 1.00

00:39:55 If you want to make merit the most important thing

00:40:02 in putting people in seats of power,

00:40:04 putting people in positions of responsibility in businesses,

00:40:08 fine, that is the best thing we can do as a nation. 0.90

00:40:11 If it turns out that they are of any color, race, religion, sexual orientation, that should not matter.

00:40:23 And the left are the people that are saying it shouldn't matter.

00:40:26 But if you have a group of people based on merit that were put in a position where they are responsible for whatever it may be, as far as political position goes, a job, CEO, whatever it is, and they happen to be a very diverse group, that's fine.

00:40:48 at least you know they're qualified if they happen to be all one racial group that's fine too

00:40:58 because they're the most qualified it worked out that way race was not being considered

00:41:04 as it shouldn't be but for some reason when you talk about dei in that way you are a piece of 0.99

00:41:12 crap bigoted racist and again anyone with common sense would see that all we're doing 0.99

00:41:22 is is asking for the most qualified people to be put in positions where their job is critical 0.99

00:41:30 to the safety of other people airline mechanics supervisors pilots surgeons nurses techs

00:41:41 Those are people I want, the best qualified people in those jobs. 1.00

00:41:46 Don't care what color they are. 0.99

00:41:49 Just make them the best.

00:41:51 Make them the best they could possibly be.

00:41:54 Well, Kamala Harris, speaking on DEI, goes into such a different direction,

00:42:03 I don't even know what the hell she's talking about.

00:42:06 See if you can figure it out.

00:42:08 Call us, 800-848-9222. 0.99

00:42:11 If you could figure out how the hell she's equating DEI with black women and their maternal health and AC3.

00:42:23 Here's another fact. 1.00

00:42:25 The attack on DEI is an attack on maternal care.

00:42:30 An attack on DEI to recognize diversity, equity, and inclusion is an attack by definition on maternal care.

00:42:43 By definition on maternal care.

00:42:44 Including the need to protect black women in connection with their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care.

00:42:56 Who? How? What? How?

00:43:00 What is she talking about? 1.00

00:43:05 Girls about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. 1.00

00:43:09 Girls about as sharp as a bowling ball. 1.00

00:43:12 I'll say bowling ball. 1.00

00:43:15 By definition, an attack on DEI is an attack on black women's maternal health.

00:43:26 by me by me i pass i can't fathom how she's making that connection is she talking about

00:43:36 dei medical staff nurses doctors obstetricians prenatal care that dei people should be in those

00:43:47 positions to give better care to pregnant women or pregnant black women i i that's all i could

00:43:55 come up with i apologize for being so short-sighted and not being able to speak 0.99

00:44:02 absolute moron i'm not fluent in idiot so i don't know what the hell camelo was talking about there 0.98

00:44:12 so you got a pregnant woman and dei how do you link them together it's like six degrees of kevin 1.00

00:44:20 bacon i i just can't i can't connect those but that's her that's her helping helping her people

00:44:30 helping the democrats get elected by going out there they must be up there on their big

00:44:37 democratic national committee hilltop going can someone put her away until november someone put 0.99

00:45:14 social media she's walking around it i don't know how to describe this i've been doing radio

00:45:23 for decades and my job is to describe things so that people listening can get a mental image

00:45:31 maybe i don't want to harm you my faithful listeners with a mental image of madonna

00:45:37 on the vmas but she is wearing uh some type of red panties black boots up to her knees 0.97

00:46:06 I swear to you, they look like a used depend undergarment. You know, when they do the commercial 0.99

00:46:15 and, and you, they pour a liquid into the depend undergarment and then they lift it up and there's

00:46:22 no water but it got kind of bulky it got kind of fat and bloated like a ballpark frank uh that is

00:46:31 what madonna looks like it looks like she's wearing a used a used red depend undergarment

00:48:21 All right.

00:48:23 Sounds like maybe two, three packs a day, Connie.

00:48:27 Oh, God, never.

00:48:29 Oh, okay.

00:48:30 Never.

00:48:30 Always kept it under control.

00:48:32 Oh, you did?

00:48:33 Okay.

00:48:33 Just say, you know, you got that certain Lucille Ball tone to your voice.

00:48:38 Ricky.

00:48:39 I mean, after I Love Lucy.

00:48:41 I'm talking the Lucy show.

00:48:42 Mr. Mooney.

00:48:49 I'm not goofing on you.

00:48:50 Well, maybe I'll goof in a little bit, but I love you.

00:48:52 What do you have to say this evening from storm-torn Long Island?

00:49:01 Kamala Harris.

00:49:02 Yes. 1.00

00:49:03 If she is not drinking, she's drugging.

00:49:07 The stuff she says, that can't be somebody under a normal frame of mind

00:49:12 coming out with stuff like this.

00:49:14 no and you could hear her slurring the guy sitting next to her he's like oh my god what

00:49:20 what are we gonna do with this woman you mean abdul al-sayed yes the guy abdul al-sayed

00:49:27 yeah i know i know connie i hear you it's uh yes she sounded she was slurring her words

00:49:35 she speaks like somebody that the but when she's when someone speaks like that to the bartender 1.00

00:49:41 they say i i have to cut you off you've had enough i've seen it happen before she's uh on

00:49:48 something i think you you got something either that or she takes something to calm herself down

00:49:53 and it has a reverse effect i don't know but that's not normal that she was not protecting

00:49:59 herself in a normal way it's not very scary to think if she was ever the president of the united

00:50:05 the states did we dodge a bullet there connie or not big time yeah big time i hear you all right

00:50:40 there newports that's when they used to have the newport commercials that were uh

00:50:46 the newport commercials uh and ads on the back of magazines and it showed like a guy and a girl

00:50:54 you know wholesome american guy and girl by a lake with a chevy pulled up next to it and they

00:51:00 were just sitting on a blanket smoking newports i was like oh that's that seems nice and then

00:51:07 cool and newport just became like oh you don't want to be in a place where you look down and

00:51:41 vagina slims because you know if you smoked them god knows what would happen all right 0.98

00:51:47 don't you go anywhere plenty more to come it is the anthony cumia show thanks for tuning in 0.99

00:51:53 appreciate that if you're up there in the uh northeast oh boy you got that nor'easter thing

00:52:01 that whole thing everyone loves to panic everyone loves to panic the news gets you panicky

00:52:08 all your buddies and pals on social media what's going on and now with ai it's just uh i've seen

00:52:15 so many videos now i have a very discerning eye i can identify ai in uh oh lickety split

00:52:24 uh i've seen some videos of new york city where it looked like a whirlpool circling a subway

00:52:33 station stairwell on the street and it was uh sucking in all kinds of stuff newspaper machines

00:52:41 and garbage cans and people, and you read the comments,

00:52:47 and it's, oh, my God, I can't believe what's happening up there.

00:52:52 Be safe, everyone.

00:52:54 Oh, my God, they should put police tape around that

00:52:58 so people can't get so close.

00:53:02 Maybe AI is a problem.

00:53:04 You know, I've been a proponent of artificial intelligence

00:53:09 for quite some time here.

00:53:11 Because I see it as something that will be very useful to humanity, to average IQ and above humanity.

00:53:21 And now that I see some of the comments coming in on social media when an obvious AI video is posted, I go, oh, boy.

00:53:31 See, I wasn't considering that. 1.00

00:53:32 I wasn't considering that people are dumb, that there are some stupid people out there 1.00

00:53:41 that are going to see this and think it's real or at least not double check it. 1.00

00:53:46 I've seen some social media posts and I've gone, whoa, that that doesn't look good.

00:53:53 But I don't immediately comment on it until I check.

00:53:57 There are ways to check.

00:53:59 You could use AI to let you know if what you're looking at is AI.

00:54:04 Seems counterproductive.

00:54:06 Seems like maybe, you know, AI might go, yeah, yeah, that's not AI.

00:54:11 Go ahead, post it.

00:54:12 Yeah, that's the ticket.

00:54:15 But you could usually, there's some giveaway.

00:54:19 Maybe in the future it'll get harder to be able to tell,

00:54:23 but there are just a lot of people out there that don't know.

00:54:26 They don't know.

00:54:27 and that could could get a little dodgy in time anywho uh let's look at what's been going on

00:54:38 with the uh so sad the lynchings that have been happening around this country i see a lot of

00:54:46 people commenting on those it's so sad uh like camilla harris said it's uh jim crow making a

00:54:54 come back and um just a shame you know the congressional black caucus had a meeting

00:55:02 recently dedicated to the problem the issue of lynchings going on in this country modern day

00:55:10 lynchings that are happening they all got together decided that was how they would best spend their

00:55:16 time and resources resources resources instead of other things that might be important and of 0.70

00:55:28 paramount importance to the black communities of which they represent their constituency 0.58

00:55:34 but uh lynchings i mean that's your existential threat for the uh community and the congressional

00:55:43 black caucus and congresswoman presley of course old chrome dome bronze dome what would you call

00:55:50 her copper dome uh she's out there and she's saying that these lynchings have to stop 0.99

00:55:59 and uh you know i want to help i want to be an ally so i look for lynchings i look for them 0.94

00:56:08 I research and try to find out where they are, when they happened, and how I can best prevent any new ones from happening. 0.99

00:56:18 And gosh, golly, gee willikers, I haven't found a one. 1.00

00:56:24 Oh, Congresswoman Presley and company over at the Congressional Black Caucus, 0.98

00:56:30 they would lead you to believe that it's happening at an alarming rate.

00:56:33 And they point out that they have found a few people, African-Americans, that have been found hanging from trees.

00:56:44 And the local officials, you know, local yokels, say it was a suicide.

00:56:53 Hey, what do we got over there?

00:56:56 Let's take a look there, shall we?

00:56:58 Well, it looked like a suicide to me, boys, doesn't it?

00:57:02 yeah yeah yeah and they all laugh and and they write suicide they don't even know how to spell

00:57:07 it on the death certificate that's the impression i think that congresswoman presley and the

00:57:15 congressional black caucus have that's the impression they get that's who they think

00:57:20 is in charge of all these investigations uh of uh black suicides by hanging 0.62

00:57:27 that are going on in this country, 0.82

00:57:31 so they must be lynchings. 1.00

00:57:35 Ah, damn it. 0.99

00:57:37 You guys forgot to click the phone thing 0.99

00:57:39 at the main studio up there in New York.

00:57:43 I was going to say something,

00:57:44 but then I go,

00:57:45 oh, I don't want to be annoying.

00:57:46 And then it's not clicked,

00:57:48 and now I don't have phones.

00:57:51 Ah, Christ almighty.

00:57:54 You need a phone code watcher guy.

00:57:57 up there in new york anyway could you try to get my phones back i'd appreciate it 0.71

00:58:02 um so let's go to congresswoman presley where is she oh my god i got my sheet look at me i

00:58:11 got all flustered i got all flustered here it is blah blah blah blah where is it uh there it is ac7

00:58:20 the terror of lynching was meant to be a tool of intimidation uh of of example to to keep black

00:58:31 folk in their place even as we were gaining rights for our full citizenship and in fact

00:58:38 that was the point it was a backlash so these are people who traffic in um the great replacement

00:58:47 theory um who fear a black planet who fear a super majority of the most marginalized and so

00:58:57 that's why i cannot rest and um just accept at face value that these deaths are just suspicious

00:59:06 we have to investigate them and we have to know because it all feels like a very eerily painfully 0.51

00:59:16 reminiscent period in this country of the strange fruit of black men hanging from trees we had more 0.99

00:59:24 than 60 lawmakers that joined us you know in that demand for a federal investigation uh from the 1.00

00:59:30 department of justice and the fbi um also there is a federal law in the books um the uh and the

00:59:37 emmett till anti-lynching act and so uh it speaks specifically to lynching uh so this is our

00:59:45 suspicious cases and so we're just calling for not only a thorough investigation but for the law

00:59:50 to be enforced yeah very very suspicious suspicious it hearkens back she says it reminds us you know

01:00:02 why because it was a while ago like like a hundred years ago while ago maybe some that happened

01:00:12 a little in the mid, early to mid-20th century.

01:00:19 But truth be told, this hasn't been a thing for quite some time.

01:00:23 And as a matter of fact, they have been pushing something.

01:00:26 A woman in Mississippi was found hanging from a tree.

01:00:34 And every one of these left wing news agencies decided to present the story in a way that, as they said, hearkened back, hearkened back to lynchings and Jim Crow and all the other stuff from many years ago.

01:01:01 that was of course terrible and isn't happening now in 2026 it's not happening so instead of

01:01:13 presenting the story with facts and saying well uh this woman was found hanging she was killed

01:01:24 beforehand by three black guys over some drug kerfuffle uh and that was the story they still

01:01:34 tried to present it like well she was found hanging from a tree and what it does is it's 0.63

01:01:42 so painful because it it brings up feelings from the uh racist oppressive jim crow days instead

01:01:52 of presenting the story for what it was a drug problem gone sideways and three people that put

01:02:00 her in a tree for no racial reasons whatsoever obviously trying to cover their tracks maybe

01:02:07 maybe they were smart enough to know that the media and left-wing politicians would uh run 0.96

01:02:15 with the story like it was some kind of racially motivated hanging so they hung her in a tree

01:02:21 and uh everyone the usual suspects ran with it oh this has to be a lynching and all the other

01:02:31 suicides that they found over the course of uh the past few years have been investigated

01:02:39 and it was determined they were suicides there's many ways to tell they don't just go

01:02:44 well boy look what we got here why don't we just say it was a suicide there's evidence that people

01:02:53 can look at there's the person himself there's his family or her family saying oh my god yeah

01:03:02 he had uh problems mental issues he was depressed there are witnesses there are you know where did

01:03:10 you get the rope kind of stuff video surveillance of the areas it's not just one hillbilly sheriff

01:03:19 saying case closed there boys let's go get us a beer but that's what they'd like you to believe

01:03:26 that's the america they'd like you to believe we still live in because victimhood means

01:03:32 you could get some power and get some money out of it i'm not kidding back in a flash the anthony

01:04:30 hey there it is

01:04:33 Matt New Hampshire

01:04:45 Presley there

01:04:47 the representative in Massachusetts

01:04:49 you just played

01:04:50 and Kamala as well

01:04:51 boy if they're not busy

01:04:53 pandering to the friendlies they wouldn't open their mouths and we would hear nothing from them

01:05:00 unless of course they were just outright lying it's all pandering it's all this racially motivated

01:05:06 race baiting pandering around election time uh to get uh votes that's that's it they don't care

01:05:15 they know it's all bs they know that they're lying when they open their yaps maybe not kamala 0.81

01:05:22 because she's really stupid but uh yeah yeah yes so well i it they i appreciate it man and if you 0.99

01:05:31 close your eyes and listen to kamala don't you feel her channeling of the great og barack obama 0.99

01:05:38 the pander and chiefs have a good night anthony thank you thank you matt uh well she she wishes

01:05:46 She had the ability to speak like Obama did. 0.78

01:05:54 Obama, you know, a lot of nonsense and BS came out of that yap of his.

01:06:00 But people were captivated by him. 0.90

01:06:04 They listened.

01:06:05 They thought he was a great orator.

01:06:07 uh and you know if you take a few seconds to listen to what he's actually saying

01:06:14 uh it's not all that profound it's not all that amazing it actually doesn't say much

01:06:23 a lot of these politicians aren't saying a lot when they're talking they they speak a lot about

01:06:31 hope that's a big thing especially with the democrats we can never lose hope hope is what

01:06:39 we have and everyone goes yeah hope hope screw hope hope is sitting there hoping something

01:06:46 happens do something actually do something besides just sitting there and hoping some politician 0.51

01:06:55 gives you a free ride or helps you out or throws you a bone or whatever.

01:07:02 We need to don't ever lose hope.

01:07:06 Oh, no, of course not.

01:07:08 Some communities have based their entire existence on hope for 100 years.

01:07:14 And where has it gotten them? 1.00

01:07:17 Hope, my ass. 1.00

01:07:19 That's what I say. 0.99

01:07:20 speaking of saint obama we do have uh something from him and this is one of those things that uh

01:07:30 a lot of people say on both sides but obviously obama's gonna say it's that uh living in a bubble

01:07:38 you know they're not like the boy in a bubble bubble boy the moops not bubble boy it's uh

01:07:48 So living in a bubble of people that think like you, they speak like you, they believe things like you do, and it just reinforces your own ideology, your own take on things that you must be right because everyone I'm talking to and listening to is saying exactly what I'm saying.

01:08:09 And yes, social media can do that. It all depends on what social media platforms you're going to, who you follow or block on your accounts. I follow a bevy of lefty dimwits, and I'm listening to what they're talking about, what they're saying, what they're doing.

01:08:32 I make a point of not insulating myself from what people are saying, 0.53

01:08:39 people that I don't agree with.

01:08:42 And Obama, he wants to say that that's a big problem,

01:08:46 but he kind of twists it around to where it's only a problem for people that don't agree with him.

01:08:54 So if you're in a bubble, he thinks if you disagree with him or his cronies,

01:09:01 his take his party uh that you must be in a bubble because all you need do is listen to obama

01:09:10 or or any of the other lefties and if you weren't in a bubble you would agree in a second you must

01:09:17 be in a bubble that's how they think so that's how they utilize the bubble um in a way that

01:09:24 makes you seem like you're not trying to see their side of it so let's hear obama obama here

01:09:33 let me see what number that is do you got it over there obama ac6 right and so the task we now have

01:09:42 is finding ways to capture what i think is the goodness of people the

01:09:48 and translating that into a politics that's operative, a system that is adapted to the times.

01:10:00 We can go into what are the ingredients of that.

01:10:04 I will say that the rise of social media and the siloing, the information bubbles that we all occupy

01:10:15 so that the reality of somebody who's reading the New York Times

01:10:20 is entirely foreign to somebody who's watching Fox News,

01:10:25 we're going to have to find ways to bridge that.

01:10:28 And we're going to have to create new town squares, essentially,

01:10:33 where everybody is having a common dialogue with certain rules.

01:10:37 And that becomes even more important as technology accelerates

01:10:41 and AI and deep fakes and all kinds of nonsense is coming.

01:10:45 Rules. Red alert. Red flag. Red alert. Warning. Warning, Will Robinson. Rules. No. No.

01:10:57 Did you see what rules did after Trump's 2016 victory to anyone that even leaned right on social media?

01:11:07 Oh, we don't like that there's bubbles. And all the social media owners at the time were lefties.

01:11:13 So let's pop any of the right wing bubbles so that they can't even have a platform anymore.

01:11:20 I hope people don't forget and haven't forgotten the wasteland of liberalism that social media became after Trump won.

01:11:35 They saw the power of social media and wiped out every right-wing, Republican, conservative voice that pushed Trump forward on that 2016 election.

01:11:55 They said, oh, my God, we didn't know what to do.

01:11:59 We were still doing TV spots. 0.99

01:12:01 oh my god we were doing tv interviews on the news and we got our asses handed to us 1.00

01:12:08 hillary was supposed to win that she's on stage with beyonce and jay-z 0.97

01:12:13 trump is on what a twitter and then they went oh crap what did we do we we didn't think that was

01:12:24 that big all right get on the horn get to facebook and twitter and instagram and tiktok

01:12:32 and every other platform and make sure they throw off every single right-wing guy but how do we do 0.81

01:12:39 that just whatever they say say that it's racist sexist homophobic islamophobic against terms of

01:12:46 service and throw them off and that's what they did i know i was one of them and we were gone

01:12:55 we were gone no voice on social media no way to refute what the liberal mainstream media was

01:13:05 throwing at the weak-minded and then you add in a little election fraud and uh lo and behold we

01:13:13 have joe biden for four uh demented years but the fact that obama is trying to say we need a dialogue

01:13:24 we need a a town hall type of social media where we can all you know be nice and discuss things

01:13:34 you know with some rules the word rules means regulation and means people getting thrown off

01:13:42 for saying things they don't agree with no rules that i say no rules all right where the hell do

01:13:51 you think you're going stick around and we will be right back with more of the anthony cumia show

01:13:56 it's the anthony cumia show and uh boy this there are some twisted stories uh out there

01:14:04 uh i guess there was a hazing at a frat house near the university of wisconsin

01:14:09 And police said 30 men were found partially clothed and covered in food and other liquids in the hot basement, which was filled with trash and debris.

01:14:24 Jesus, what is going on?

01:14:30 This is really twisted.

01:14:34 Alpha Epsilon Pi.

01:14:37 I'll have some of that Alpha Epsilon Pi.

01:14:41 The house's basement, they found 30 partially clothed men covered in food and waste and other things.

01:14:53 It really is quite disgusting.

01:14:58 My point on this whole thing, the vast majority of the men were 18 years old, police said.

01:15:04 uh several had visible injuries oh god this hazing thing look i didn't go to college

01:15:15 i never went to college uh obviously isn't it obvious people right there right out there

01:15:22 listening going i tell you didn't go to college uh so i don't know about hazing and

01:15:28 fraternities and whatnot but every fraternity hazing story i've ever heard

01:15:37 sounds really gay it sounds really gay two 20 year old men were arrested for hazing and disorderly 0.69

01:15:48 conduct police said the university issued a statement acknowledging the alleged hazing 0.79

01:15:54 incident said it would be launching its own investigation they'll be put on double secret 0.99

01:15:59 probation fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life mr blue mr blutarsky 0.0 that's 0.99

01:16:14 really all i ever knew about fraternities was watching the fantastic animal house over the 0.99

01:16:21 course of the years and uh delta house seemed to be the only fraternity that i would have uh

01:16:29 liked to have been in every other fraternity seems gay there's always someone who brings this up 0.55

01:16:36 who's the guy that goes hey man let's haze the guys oh cool what like we'll drink a lot of beer 0.63

01:17:19 hazings go but uh i don't know double secret probation the school said that any student uh

01:17:28 determined to be in violation of law regulation and university policy

01:17:33 i'm pre-law i thought you were pre-med what's the difference

01:17:39 uh may be subject to sanctions including reprimand disciplinary probation disciplinary

01:17:47 suspension expulsion

01:17:49 or educational

01:17:52 sanctions

01:17:53 who put

01:17:55 fizzies in the pool during the

01:17:57 alumni swim meet

01:17:58 they're fully committed

01:18:02 to addressing this hazing thing

01:18:05 you know

01:18:06 yeah I don't even need to 1.00

01:18:09 read any more of the gay 1.00

01:18:11 shenanigans going on 1.00

01:18:14 in that frat house

01:18:15 to know that, yeah, something they've tried.

01:18:21 I mean, there are rules in place, I assume.

01:18:24 These hazing disasters have gone on for years.

01:18:27 And some of them, unfortunately, they result in death 0.92

01:18:31 because some of these jackasses don't understand that alcohol is a poison.

01:18:39 It's fun for a while. 0.97

01:18:41 You know, you do a shot, fun.

01:18:42 you know you pass the bottle around with your buddies fun fun do another shot fun fun fun fun

01:18:51 fun dead what how do you go from fun to dead that's alcohol it's crazy like that uh and they

01:18:59 do that they haze uh and i can understand you know you're at that age the fraternity is this old

01:19:07 traditional thing and it demands that you torture the newbies that come in it was very funny

01:19:14 when flounder and pinto were woken up with the fire extinguisher and um and then the the omega

01:19:23 house where they spanked each other's underwear bottoms with a paddle thank you sir may have

01:19:32 another it is one of the greatest movies ever made uh so i understand there are some traditions

01:19:41 but uh it's 2026 can we move on and the fact that it's greek based you know the whole tradition

01:19:51 of the fraternity and the the names of the houses delta tau chi and all these things it's

01:19:59 It's all very Greek-based, and, well, you know what they were doing, right?

01:20:10 There's a reason that some of those sex dolls from years ago in the back of the magazine

01:20:17 said authentic Greek features, authentic Greek features.

01:20:26 it didn't mean it had you know a picture of the parthenon on its back

01:20:32 is that in greece i have no idea i never went to college anyway knock it off can i say that

01:20:43 as a gentleman of a certain age in this country hey knock it off there you go mount olympus how

01:20:52 about that that's in greece italy greece what's the difference anyway uh other things going on

01:21:00 that uh caught my eye over the course of the week was uh marjorie taylor green this is

01:21:10 she says that hondurans there's a honduran caravan oh yeah you could look it up yourself

01:21:19 a honduran caravan is making its way up from i gather honduras and uh going through mexico and

01:21:30 they're headed right toward the american mexican border and uh we saw this before but we saw it

01:21:37 during the biden puppet regime administration and it was a lot more than 400 people they're

01:21:45 reporting 400 Hondurans are making their way up and they're determined to come across the border

01:21:52 like they did in the Biden years and just go about their business as illegal aliens here in this

01:22:01 country. And I looked at this story and went, well, why would they do this knowing that Donald

01:22:11 trump has shut the border down closed it down to these illegals and it stopped the caravans

01:22:19 because there were people uh coming here in the thousands from central and uh from central

01:22:28 america and mexico trying to get up to the american border and uh that stopped but why

01:22:35 would it all of a sudden start again well maggie maggie taylor green has uh has an idea as to

01:22:44 what's going on let's see what uh she says here uh there it is we have not seen a caravan headed

01:22:55 to the u.s southern border in several years why now oh yeah there's an election coming and the

01:23:02 The GOP needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working.

01:23:10 And then it says over 400 aliens, predominantly Hondurans,

01:23:13 entered Mexico on Thursday, ready to make their way to the U.S. border.

01:23:20 Something is incentivizing this movement.

01:23:23 This is not organic.

01:23:25 Yes, it is not.

01:23:26 And Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to think it's a GOP plot.

01:23:34 Now, all right, I'm not even going to going to sit here and say that that wouldn't be possible,

01:23:43 that that politicians, Republicans or Democrats, wouldn't pull something so ridiculous and underhanded as trying to scare people into voting.

01:23:55 but let's dissect this a little bit marjorie why would the republicans have to scare

01:24:07 their voters who already know and don't want illegals coming into this country

01:24:14 that's not a thing that we have to look at and go oh right i forgot i forgot the democrats

01:24:21 let in illegal aliens the republicans are the one that don't want illegals in oh i almost forgot i

01:24:30 was going to vote for the democrats uh but oh right right there's illegals on the way

01:24:36 so you're trying to what preach to the converted we all know that the second democrats get into

01:24:46 power that those caravans of illegals will start right back up 10 times what they were

01:24:54 because you got to replace every single illegal that was thrown out by ice this past two years

01:25:01 that's something that they want to have done uh as quickly as possible stop any of the deportations

01:25:11 reopen the border and replace all of the illegals that have been thrown out by ice

01:25:17 that is what happens the second they the democrats get power and i understand uh there are plenty of

01:25:28 people pissed off at trump i'm pissed off at trump for a few things for uh quite a few things

01:25:35 one of them i'm not pissed off about is the handling of the border it was closed immediately

01:25:42 that was a a campaign promise and it came to fruition very quickly quickly and uh that that

01:25:52 those caravans of of illegals coming over the border stopped and federal law enforcement was

01:26:00 given the job uh given the job to throw out illegals and i love how some of these people say

01:26:07 well only the bad ones only the ones that are criminals only the ones committing crime no 1.00

01:26:13 no we have to at this point we we are so screwed as a nation that we have to get rid of anyone here 0.99

01:26:24 illegally if you want to try to get in legally that's who we are as a country isn't it isn't it 1.00

01:26:33 i don't like it i think if we're going to be even if we're going to bring uh legal immigrants in 1.00

01:26:39 they should be vetted and they should come from countries that are at least on par with modern

01:26:48 first world countries oh there could be some tiffs going on in there where people go yeah we 0.74

01:26:55 got to get out of here it's not quite the safest place to live uh but i'm an engineer i'm a farmer

01:27:02 i'm a teacher i'm whatever it is do they have skills our immigration system wasn't supposed to

01:27:12 be come here to learn how to be uh an actual civilized human being that's not what it was

01:27:21 supposed to be it's supposed to be you have skills you have talents you live in a country

01:27:30 that is either dangerous or for some reason they don't want to take advantage of your skills and

01:27:38 talents and you can best use them elsewhere and then you come here to the wonder of america

01:27:46 and it it helps both sides you are helped because you are now able to make something of yourself

01:27:54 you have skills and talents they're recognized uh they're needed and people go wow this guy is

01:28:04 a great addition to our country and the country benefits because they now have somebody that can

01:28:10 do something to better their community they pay taxes that's how it's supposed to work 0.82

01:28:18 we're not some dump where you can dump off your third world uh savages and have them 0.98

01:28:27 run rampant oh we're going to teach them math and english and they're going to become that 1.00

01:28:33 no they're not failed experiment it's failed so illegals have to go and as far as legal immigration 0.98

01:28:46 goes only people that would benefit the nation and by that yeah they have to already have some 0.93

01:28:54 type of skill education at least be able to assimilate in a first world country i don't 0.97

01:29:03 see that happening i see the vast majority of immigrants illegals or legal immigrants nowadays

01:29:10 coming into the united states without any want need or ambition to assimilate to america well

01:29:19 what is america it's it's a melting pot of that no nah nah america is a country of amazing skilled

01:29:32 talented innovative people that have come from many different lands but it doesn't mean you

01:29:41 could take someone from any land and turn them into a great talented innovative person this is

01:29:50 the misconception that the left has been tossing out there and that's why you can't order a hamburger

01:29:58 at a fast food place.

01:30:01 That the person taking the order

01:30:03 has to look at hieroglyphics on the cash register

01:30:06 because they don't know what the number three means.

01:30:10 Change? Stop.

01:30:12 Just stop.

01:30:14 No one knows what it is.

01:30:16 These are some of the simplest, most basic things

01:30:19 that should be a prerequisite

01:30:25 to coming to this country to even pursue citizenship. 0.98

01:30:31 But no, Somalia, that's what we get, Somalia.

01:30:39 We build an amazing Mall of America up in Minneapolis.

01:30:43 You can look online, look at the grand opening

01:30:46 of the Mall of America in Minneapolis.

01:30:50 It was a spectacle, it was amazing.

01:30:52 It was such an American thing.

01:30:55 now you might as well be in the Moog.

01:31:00 You might as well.

01:31:01 They should just start burning tires and shooting at Blackhawk helicopters. 0.98

01:31:07 Do they have that?

01:31:08 Did they replace the rides with the games where you could try to shoot down a Blackhawk helicopter? 0.88

01:31:15 Because that's what the Mall of America is now in Minneapolis, Mogadishu, Minnesota. 0.95

01:31:21 So when you hear people talking about illegal or legal immigration, it's the same thing unless the legal immigrants are going to help this country. 0.51

01:31:36 And I've seen nothing of the sort. 0.60

01:31:38 And when Marguerite Taylor Greene says that the Republicans are trying to scare voters into voting against the Democrats by hiring, what, 400 Hondurans?

01:31:53 Do the Republicans have 400 Hondurans on call?

01:31:57 That's some Rolodex. 1.00

01:31:59 in order to get them to start marching toward America

01:32:05 on a 1,000-mile march so they can just, what, get here and go,

01:32:10 ah, you scared yet?

01:32:12 Vote Republican.

01:32:16 The lies we are being told are second to none.

01:32:20 And around election time, everything is a lie.

01:32:25 99% of it is a lie every other time.

01:32:28 And around any election, 100% of what you hear out of anyone that has any personal interest in the election, it is all a lie.

01:32:41 Back in a moment.

01:32:44 You want to hit that phone?

01:32:46 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:32:49 All right.

01:32:51 I want a couple of bucks on one of these sites where you're able to bet on anything.

01:32:58 you know, Kalshi, Polymarket, those kind of sites,

01:33:03 I bet that Madonna would win the VMA Artist of the Year Award.

01:33:09 Now, I don't know now that you've heard the beginning of the show.

01:33:12 I have no clue what Madonna has been up to.

01:33:15 And I didn't say, oh, that video looks great and looks like it would be the best. 1.00

01:33:19 I just knew that MTV needing to get the nostalgia from the old people back 0.99

01:33:26 because no one is watching MTV. 0.99

01:33:29 Young people don't care about MTV.

01:33:31 They have every other electronic device they need 0.68

01:33:33 to get their music and videos and everything else from.

01:33:36 So this year, having brought on board Madonna

01:33:39 and Paris Hilton and Nirvana and everybody,

01:33:42 it's all about nostalgia.

01:33:44 So they were going to give Madonna the artist of the year.

01:33:48 And I knew this.

01:33:49 So I bet a few bucks on the prediction market site.

01:33:53 I won.

01:33:55 There you go.

01:33:55 you might as well let this cluster f work for you the world is coming apart at the seams

01:34:05 and i'm making bank on it that's what you need to do people see it for what it is

01:34:13 but then take advantage of it i made 20 bucks

01:34:18 it was only 20 bucks i'm talking here like uh my life savings was in that i bet it all on madonna

01:34:30 uh eric from orlando florida eric what's up man hey what's up man today i was just on a

01:34:38 three-week vacation and got back from germany a few hours ago oh how was it well i went to go

01:34:44 see my sister because she moved there and you know i saw my family and i'll tell you what it 1.00

01:34:48 really gets out of hand with immigrants over there i bet i mean frankfurt's always pretty 1.00

01:34:53 crazy but hamburg actually was a little more nuts i was staying over at this hotel like right by the 1.00

01:34:58 train station and i swear five city blocks i thought i was like in the west west part of africa

01:35:04 i was like i didn't recognize and then i saw this guy from my hotel room five floors up looking down 0.99

01:35:12 this old old man on crutch like walking crutches and these two like african immigrants just attack

01:35:18 him and like like stole his wallet and ran off oh jesus and then what was great though within about 0.86

01:35:25 within about a minute there there was a van that had six cops come right out of it and throw them

01:35:29 against the wall and then another van came out with another six cops and they just pretty much

01:35:34 held them down they're kind of doing their i didn't do nothing kind of speech because i could

01:35:38 understand yeah yeah did the poor old did the poor old guy have a little mustache and a sweeping

01:35:44 hairline no he had gray hair he probably looked like he was in his 70s oh he'd have to be 100

01:35:50 and something if it was who i'm just glad he was a i'm just glad the old man was okay though

01:35:56 ah it's crazy europe is uh right now we need right now i think we need the painter back

01:36:01 you know what europe is worse than the united states because these countries are so much smaller 0.95

01:36:08 and they can't take the influx of garbage that we can now we can only take it for so long but we can 1.00

01:36:16 take it for longer than they can they're being inundated with this uh third world garbage and 1.00

01:36:22 it is ruining every aspect of these countries the culture the economy the safety everything is being 1.00

01:36:30 destroyed and no one wants to really do anything about it but i see so many people complaining

01:36:36 about it and not wanting this to happen and they seem to be the majority why is it still happening

01:36:42 then i even have a muslim friend over there my friend from albania and he even he's for the afd

01:36:48 and i asked him just curious why which i am he goes i came here when i was a child i can i work

01:36:54 i pay taxes and i get sick of people freeloading it and it makes me mad he says yeah yeah it should

01:37:00 You know, there are a lot of people that are considered minorities in a lot of countries, and they're pissed about what's going on with immigration, illegal immigration, because they have to work hard to get what they have and where they want to end up, whatever jobs they want, if they want to buy houses. 1.00

01:37:21 Illegals make everything more expensive. 1.00

01:37:23 I don't care what they say about, well, they can work for cheaper and this. 1.00

01:37:28 They need to be housed. 0.67

01:37:29 they need to be clothed and fed by the welfare system a lot of times they're not making enough

01:37:34 especially for the size of families that they have and then we're supposed to be told that

01:37:40 they're a great benefit to our nation while you're paying a million dollars for a house

01:37:45 a few years ago went for a 300 000 and another thing that happens over there not as much now

01:37:53 is there'd be people that lived in their apartments like 30 years and they would kick 0.99

01:37:57 them out even though they paid their rent just to let you know refugees take the take the place

01:38:01 yeah hotels do that in new york city they uh let the government the state pay them to house

01:38:08 illegals so they're making uh money regardless and then there's less hotels for tourists

01:38:16 so supply and demand means that those hotels jack their prices up it's affecting everyone 0.95

01:38:23 that they're putting up illegals in the hotels in New York

01:38:27 because you're now paying $500 for a $300 hotel room 0.82

01:38:31 because there just aren't enough rooms

01:38:34 because the state's paying for illegals to stay in them.

01:38:37 It happens. 0.70

01:38:38 I got to go.

01:38:38 Thank you so much for the call, Eric,

01:38:41 and thank you for listening to this very program.

01:38:44 We got plenty more.

01:38:46 I wouldn't go anywhere if I were you.

01:38:48 I certainly wouldn't watch MTV.

01:38:50 Back in a moment.

01:38:53 it is the anthony cummia show thanks for tuning in and uh right away i think i gotta go to michael

01:39:00 in jersey he's got a little issue with what i said last break impossible michael what's up

01:39:08 yeah no what you said is fantastic i totally absolutely agree but it's not realistic and i'll

01:39:16 tell you why all right educated people from europe aren't coming there is only one country

01:39:22 One, where really, really educated people are leaving to come to America, and they have a reason.

01:39:30 You know what that country is?

01:39:31 South Africa?

01:39:32 No, no, no. It's Israel. 0.91

01:39:34 I go to NYU because I have cancer. 0.96

01:39:38 Two of the surgeons here are Israeli. 1.00

01:39:40 You know why they came here?

01:39:42 I asked them.

01:39:43 Because they're at war in their country.

01:39:45 If they were at war, the country is being bombarded.

01:39:48 They said, I came here after October 7th.

01:39:53 That's why they're leaving, because their country is at war, and it's dangerous to live there.

01:39:57 But the other European countries, there's no war going on.

01:40:01 So the educated people from whatever, England, Ireland, Scotland, whatever, they're not coming.

01:40:09 Europeans are no longer coming to this country. 0.99

01:40:13 The only time the people, the very few coming from Israel,

01:40:18 is because they don't want to be in a country that's constantly being bombed,

01:40:21 that's at war, where they can get killed.

01:40:24 The guy told me, I had a very good life in my country.

01:40:27 I wouldn't have come, but you get tired of being bombed,

01:40:30 and your life is constantly threatened, so I decided to come to the United States.

01:40:35 Yeah, both of them are surgeons.

01:40:38 You bring up a good point there, Michael, because, yeah,

01:40:41 why would you leave if you were a talented educated person why would you leave your country

01:40:49 uh i would think though maybe some of them might want to leave because they're being uh uh made to 1.00

01:40:57 live uh in a country where they're inviting in these third world people but they're not they're 1.00

01:41:04 not coming i haven't met anybody with swedish accents or or norwegian accents or or scottish

01:41:12 accents there's no people yeah you can tell you can tell if they're from europe they still have

01:41:17 they learn english but they always keep their accent i haven't met anybody with european

01:41:22 accents like i said the only ones i met and i said to him where are you from i said i'm from

01:41:26 israel i said oh he said i was a surgeon in israel i mean he says i was a top surgeon i came here

01:41:33 and of course the united states gladly accepted him i mean you can't get more educated than that

01:41:38 but he said i i would have stayed there i decided to be because of october 7th i had some russian

01:41:45 guy when i needed uh some uh medical uh issues taken care of with the old ticker uh i had a

01:41:53 russian guy he was awesome awesome loved him but but even if there's no more russians coming here

01:42:02 I know, no one seems to be coming over here.

01:42:04 I don't know, Michael.

01:42:05 Most of those Russians were Jews, for some reason. 0.98

01:42:09 They figured it's a better life in the United States than it is in Russia.

01:42:14 In the town I live in, we have a Russian community. 0.97

01:42:17 They're all Jewish.

01:42:19 Yeah, yeah, the Russians and the Jews, they were at loggerheads for quite a while. 0.99

01:42:24 Russians wouldn't let them leave. 0.99

01:42:25 I remember that years ago, the Russian Jewry. 0.99

01:42:28 Oh, the Russians won't let, the Soviet Union won't let the Jews leave. 1.00

01:42:33 Just let them go. 1.00

01:42:34 Who cares?

01:42:35 They'd rather come here.

01:42:36 I guess they have a better, of course they have a better life here. 0.75

01:42:39 Yeah, everyone from the old Soviet Union especially had a better life.

01:42:44 You're Irish.

01:42:46 Are Irish people coming here?

01:42:48 No. 0.99

01:42:49 Are Italians coming here? 1.00

01:42:50 No. 1.00

01:42:51 There's nobody coming. 0.89

01:42:52 It's not like it was in the early 1920s and that time period where the European,

01:42:57 it was all europeans coming they're not coming good point michael valid valid argument good

01:43:03 point and i hope uh i i hope uh you you uh get better uh from your medical turmoil that you're

01:43:10 going through sir but uh thanks for the call uh yeah yeah you know what maybe i'm delusional

01:43:16 i think michael's right though i think all these countries that we want the immigrants to come from

01:43:22 they're not just not coming they don't want to come over here there isn't some kind of a refugee

01:43:28 problem not yet anyway where they're saying oh my god we got to get out of uh germany to uh get to

01:43:36 america or we got to get out of france because we're being persecuted as uh educated intelligent

01:43:43 innovative white people i guess that isn't happening yet but um and then you got to look 0.96

01:43:51 and go, well, if I'm going to pick my ass up and move, is America even the move I want to make? 0.98

01:43:57 Because they're going through the same thing. Like I said earlier, we have a lot more real estate 0.70

01:44:02 to absorb a lot more garbage than these European nations, but that doesn't mean that you'd look 1.00

01:44:09 here and go, well, what am I leaving for? For the same thing in a couple of years?

01:44:13 uh i tell you we've been way way too charitable in the western world

01:44:22 um and we've listened to too many delusional people who think you could pick people up

01:44:30 from an uncivilized nation dump them into a civilized nation and they're just going to

01:44:36 magically become civilized, useful, productive people.

01:44:43 I really don't understand how that delusion is something.

01:44:49 I don't think they believe it.

01:44:50 I think it all, again, goes to power, votes, and money.

01:44:55 Power, votes, and money.

01:44:59 Hey, there's a new Netflix show.

01:45:02 uh you know i scroll through so many movie and tv show platforms uh every night and and your your

01:45:13 thumb can go numb a numb thumb uh from scrolling so much and all i'm looking for is something that

01:45:22 seems interesting compelling exciting entertaining and what do you get nonsense and then people say

01:45:34 why do you watch the same movies over and over again well if they put something out that was

01:45:41 good uh maybe i'd watch it so then here's something that i thought was an interesting

01:45:50 topic i go oh they're making another movie about the unabomber this ought to be good

01:45:58 i've watched documentaries on the unabomber it seems um like an interesting topic this guy of

01:46:07 course he was uh a guy that was upset with the way corporations were taking over there wasn't

01:46:18 a way to live a simple life anymore as a an american and he was very upset so upset that

01:46:25 he took his expertise and built bombs and started sending them off to various ceos of companies and

01:46:32 other people that had some you know power that he felt was unfair uh with these businesses and how

01:46:40 the corporate world had kind of taken over uh he lived in a little shack in the middle of the woods

01:46:47 and the way he was caught is fascinating he wrote a manifesto and sent it to the media

01:46:56 to be printed and the media put it out and people were reading this thing and his brother's wife 1.00

01:47:05 was the one not even his own brother his brother's wife knew oh your brother that friggin lunatic 0.99

01:47:12 and his brother's wife read this manifesto not thinking for a second it was her brother-in-law 0.99

01:47:19 the unabomber and read this thing and went this is your brother she she recognized phrases the

01:47:28 way he worded things his ideology because god knows if this guy ever sat down at a thanksgiving

01:47:33 table he wasn't going to shut up and you were going to remember everything he said but you know

01:47:39 watch when he passes the explosive mashed potatoes.

01:47:44 But the wife told the husband, the brother, like, this is your brother.

01:47:50 And that led to the quick investigation and apprehension of the Unabomber in the woods.

01:47:59 And now they're making a movie, a dramatization about the story

01:48:05 and the investigation that went into the apprehension of the Unabomber.

01:48:10 And what do they got to do?

01:48:12 What do they got to do?

01:48:14 Can they present it like it happened?

01:48:18 Can they just cast the characters as the people who were actually involved

01:48:27 and do the story?

01:48:29 Why?

01:48:30 Why, of course not.

01:48:34 Here we go.

01:48:35 Netflix Unabomber movie releases today, and immediately noticed the second cast listing is Shalane Woodley as FBI agent Joanne Miller.

01:48:48 So, of course, my woke alarm went off, and I asked Google AI, did they make up another female FBI agent character for this?

01:49:01 Google, yes, the character of Joanne Miller is entirely fictional.

01:49:07 Shalane Woodley's character was created as a composite fictional FBI agent

01:49:13 and written into the classic true crime trope of the lone brilliant investigator

01:49:18 battling institutional complacency and sexism.

01:49:23 in the film female agent 1.00

01:49:25 Miller is the one who zeroes 0.98

01:49:27 in on the linguistics

01:49:29 of the manifesto

01:49:31 in real life

01:49:33 it was the male FBI

01:49:35 profiler James R. Fitzgerald

01:49:38 who heavily pioneered

01:49:40 forensic

01:49:40 linguistics in analyzing

01:49:43 Ted Kaczynski's writing

01:49:44 in other words more stolen

01:49:47 valor disguised as 1.00

01:49:49 female empowerment

01:49:50 And if they're willing to make this change, what other lies will their movie tell? 1.00

01:49:58 This has been a problem for a while.

01:50:02 And I've spoken to my buddy Gavin McInnes about this a few times.

01:50:08 A lot of the ideas and pre-production, you know, the first footsteps into making these productions and these movies,

01:50:19 are made years before they actually come out.

01:50:23 And this is another example of the industry 1.00

01:50:28 thinking Kamala Harris was going to be the president.

01:50:31 So we're still seeing, it's kind of the tail end two years later, 0.56

01:50:36 but we're still seeing this female empowerment. 1.00

01:50:41 There's a female president, 1.00

01:50:43 so we got to put out all these female empowerment movies, 1.00

01:50:46 even if we have to change the facts, you want to have a female linguist investigator 1.00

01:50:54 that solves a crime? Make up a story. You're doing the actual investigators a great disservice 1.00

01:51:04 by casting people that never existed to portray the actions of real heroes and real people that

01:51:14 did the investigation and came up with their conclusions and finally took a guy that was

01:51:22 killing people and put him into prison where he belongs. 0.52

01:51:26 But it's more important to be like, yay, girl power, isn't it? 0.99

01:51:33 Yeah.

01:51:34 Back in a minute.

01:51:38 It's the Anthony Cumia show.

01:51:41 Thanks for tuning in.

01:51:42 We got, oh, could you hit the phone button?

01:51:44 I'd hate to watch it disappear before my eyes again without saying anything.

01:51:50 Thank you, home base out there.

01:51:53 Home base.

01:51:57 Let's take a couple of calls here.

01:51:59 This is good.

01:52:00 I might want to talk about this.

01:52:02 Mike.

01:52:02 Mike in St. James.

01:52:04 Is that St. James, Long Island?

01:52:07 Yes, 60 miles east of Manhattan.

01:52:10 I got you.

01:52:11 I've been to St. James a few times, kind of near, what, Smithtown, around there?

01:52:16 Yeah, well, we're part of Smithtown, actually.

01:52:18 Part of Smithtown.

01:52:19 It's the hamlet of Smithtown.

01:52:21 Were you there your whole life?

01:52:23 Did you go to high school there?

01:52:25 Oh, no, I'm a native of St. Albans, Queens.

01:52:27 Okay, because I know a lot of the people that were young and went to high school there,

01:52:32 what they would do is they would go to, on 25 in Smithtown,

01:52:38 and there's a big statue of a bull.

01:52:40 and uh they'd paint the bull's balls red yes i remember that yes yes yes so how you doing mike

01:52:51 what's up good anthony is this an appropriate question if the republicans lose one or both

01:52:57 houses in november what will donald trump's strategy be for two years all right now i'm

01:53:05 trying to find some lemonade in these lemons but here's what i i don't think this is a purposeful

01:53:14 strategic thing that the republicans are doing but if it works out this way the end justifies

01:53:21 the means all right here's here's what i'm gonna say let's say we lose everything in these midterms

01:53:28 uh trump can just veto everything just veto anything the house and the senate come up with

01:53:36 if uh they're uh democrat majorities now after two more years of lame duck trump and seeing what 0.91

01:53:45 these democrats are trying to do maybe even let them get one or two horrible uh laws through or

01:53:51 policies through or what have you and then in 2028 when the president uh presidential election 1.00

01:53:58 comes about maybe then the people will go oh my god two years of these democrat idiots with the 0.99

01:54:04 house and the senate i'm not voting for them you know fickle the american people could be when it 1.00

01:54:09 comes to voting they don't like something a couple of years they're going to vote for the other side

01:54:15 Maybe it's a way to get the Democrats in some form of power where they could remind America how effed up they are and how they screw things up so that in 2028, when it's really important, when you get a House, Senate and presidential election, people will go, oh, God, thanks for the reminder. 0.99

01:54:35 We had two years of what pieces of crap the Democrats are. 0.99

01:54:39 Say you, Mike. 1.00

01:54:40 uh sounds pretty good but uh will trump still have full control of the military

01:54:46 oh you think they might impeach him and uh you know try to uh uh finagle power away from maybe

01:54:55 even a coup d'etat is that what you're saying mike no impeachment is not removal from office

01:55:02 and i don't think oh you're talking 25th 25th amendment right all right well i think the

01:55:09 american people are at least the sane ones obviously the left will be cheering but the

01:55:16 sane american people they wouldn't like seeing that i think they'd see it very politically 0.53

01:55:21 motivated why didn't you do this to demented alzheimer riddled joe biden and he was uh obviously

01:55:29 uh in the throes of dementia during his administration so uh i don't know again the

01:55:34 american people can be very fickle when it comes to the the voting booth um i don't know mike

01:55:39 okay we'll have to see what happens uh we will could donald use his uh executive orders to uh

01:55:47 get things accomplished or would they all be challenged well he still can they'll all be

01:55:52 they're being challenged now they don't even have the house in the senate and they're being

01:55:56 challenged at every point by these uh democrat activist uh soros bought judges and whatnot so

01:56:04 i don't know we're in a a really strange place mike i don't remember anything like this in my

01:56:10 entire life looking back on uh politics and the presidents uh over the course of history and

01:56:16 how they worked with the senate and uh and uh congress but it's crazy these days i don't know

01:56:23 what's next okay we'll have to wait and see i guess yep thank you mike have fun out there

01:56:29 St. James, it's nice.

01:56:30 I like out there in Suffolk County.

01:56:32 Nice place.

01:56:32 Oh, thank you.

01:56:33 We love it, too.

01:56:35 God bless.

01:56:36 God bless.

02:00:51 wretched refuse but now we're full up sorry no vacancy find another place i think that's legit 0.95

02:01:02 why should it be unlimited back in a minute it's the anthony comia show if you want to give us a

02:01:08 call 800-848-9222 800-848-9222 um governor hochel she's up for re-election in november i

02:01:21 I guarantee New Yorkers will not do the right thing. 1.00

02:01:26 They will put her right back in that seat in Albany, 1.00

02:01:29 and she will continue to ravage the state of New York. 1.00

02:01:35 Here's what she's up to now. 0.97

02:01:38 She and, of course, the great Attorney General Letitia James,

02:01:45 uh they thought it would be prudent to sue polymarket and uh these prediction market sites

02:01:56 i had just talked about the fact that i won i won my prediction market bet when i said that

02:02:05 madonna would win um video of the year video artist of the year whatever it is who really

02:02:15 cares. But Governor Hochul has said, let me read it from her post. She goes, calling it a

02:02:25 prediction market doesn't change the facts. If you're taking bets in New York, our gambling

02:02:32 laws apply. Today, New York State Attorney General Letitia James and I sued Polymarket

02:02:41 for running an illegal gambling operation, and this is the best part,

02:02:46 and preying on vulnerable New Yorkers.

02:02:53 You want a little shorthand on what that means?

02:02:58 Where's our cut?

02:03:00 Hey, we want our taste. 0.89

02:03:02 This is mob tactics. 0.77

02:03:06 This is the mafia.

02:03:07 you're running a bookie operation you're running a book and how dare you not give us our cut

02:03:18 this is what if if you know let's say the genovese family on their turf you decide

02:03:29 to run a gambling operation you're taking money for bets you're betting on whatever horse racing 0.60

02:03:36 uh sports betting you think you're just going to be able to do that without a

02:03:43 representative of the genovese family oh so you're taking a few bets are you that's nice

02:03:51 you got a nice little operation here how about i put your foot in your back pocket

02:03:56 that's what would happen and this is the government way to use mob tactics and get the

02:04:07 same result governor kathy hochel and attorney general letitia jane have decided uh that you

02:04:17 cannot run a bookie operation anywhere in the country but especially in new york without

02:04:25 having to give them their taste.

02:04:27 Now, you might think, well, Anthony, why wouldn't Governor Hochul and Attorney General

02:04:36 Letitia James demand they pay their taxes?

02:04:41 If you make money, well, you damn well better pay taxes to New York State. 1.00

02:04:48 And that would be a great argument.

02:04:50 if prediction markets were not paying New York State their taxes.

02:04:56 They are.

02:04:57 They absolutely are.

02:05:00 That isn't the case.

02:05:01 That's the law.

02:05:03 What Governor Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James wants 0.69

02:05:11 is above and beyond the taxes. 0.94

02:05:15 This is gambling.

02:05:16 Of course, we should just be able to take more money than just taxes.

02:05:24 Why?

02:05:25 Why is that?

02:05:28 Well, I took a closer look.

02:05:32 I wanted to see if these betting sites, especially the ones that are already accepted,

02:05:43 They've already been blessed by Kathy Hochul and Attorney General, Latisha Jane.

02:05:56 But the prediction market sites have not been.

02:06:01 So what's the difference?

02:06:03 What is the difference between a mobile sports betting site and a prediction market?

02:06:09 well uh here we go uh this is the clearest case case of above and beyond ordinary tax

02:06:23 so this is an example what is happening in new york with sports betting so if you have draft

02:06:30 kings or something like that new york gets they they tax them but then they get a cut of the action

02:06:38 Because you're the boss.

02:06:40 You're the mob boss.

02:06:41 You've got to get a cut.

02:06:45 Operators of sports betting sites that New York accepts, 51% of their gross revenue, 51%.

02:06:58 They take over half of it.

02:07:02 it's the largest cut of any state in the country for sports betting mobile sites

02:07:10 so how dare how dare polymarket uh try to uh work around the mob boss and uh and run a business

02:07:25 Now, I don't think it's good.

02:07:27 I don't think this is a healthy thing.

02:07:30 But they sell soda.

02:07:33 That's not healthy.

02:07:34 They sell pineapple slices and Kool-Aid.

02:07:37 That's not very healthy either.

02:07:39 So it's not about healthy or, as Kathy Hochul said, preying on vulnerable New Yorkers.

02:07:48 Why, then, are the other sites okay?

02:07:52 Why isn't Kathy Hochul saying, no, even if you pay us 51% of your gross revenue, it's still not okay.

02:08:01 I refuse because you're preying on vulnerable New Yorkers.

02:08:06 There's no difference except that they're taking a 51% cut of the action.

02:08:16 So for that, all of a sudden the New Yorkers don't become very vulnerable, do they?

02:08:22 uh collections from mobile sports betting in new york for fiscal year 2026 you want to

02:08:35 mull that around in your head a little try to take take a guess take a little guess all right

02:08:40 you got it here's what it was 1.3 billion dollars in one year that's one year 1.3 billion dollars

02:08:52 they got from mobile sports betting and enrolls polymarket and calci and these other prediction

02:08:59 markets going what this isn't gambling we're just you know it's a prediction market you bet on

02:09:07 anything and you can cash out before your bets over and we you know anything please we're just

02:09:14 trying to run a business here nope because Don Hochul and her consigliere attorney general

02:09:24 have determined that they need their cut or we go to war you want to go to war I need to get

02:09:34 organized and that's what's going on that's the only reason the only reason in-person sports

02:09:43 betting at casinos is taxed at a much lower 10 percent table game rate which is why the mobile

02:09:49 market produces far more cash for the state so if you're gambling and you're losing money in a

02:09:56 casino 10 of that is going to the state of new york uh whereas 51 on mobile betting

02:10:05 is going. And like I said, all they want

02:10:09 is the money. Whenever Governor

02:10:13 Hogle talks about safety,

02:10:17 protecting vulnerable

02:10:21 New Yorkers, it's all about money.

02:10:25 This is the same thing I was talking about last week with the AI industry.

02:10:30 Governor Hogle last week, oh boy,

02:10:33 we need to regulate artificial intelligence these data centers it's dangerous some of the

02:10:42 very people working in the business are saying that in 10 years ai can kill everyone on earth

02:10:49 and we want to keep you safe so we want to regulate it and legislate it and make sure that

02:10:57 And that way, above and beyond taxes, they'll have to pay regulation fees.

02:11:07 They'll have to pay fines for their climate, carbon footprint.

02:11:13 They'll have to pay for licensing.

02:11:17 All things that give money to the state.

02:11:20 Do you think she cares?

02:11:21 Do you think Hochul or Eterna, do you think they care about people?

02:11:31 You know, when they say, we care, I care about you.

02:11:36 Do you think they really care?

02:11:38 Be honest.

02:11:39 Of course not. 0.99

02:11:41 They care about the revenue coming in for their ridiculous liberal bullcrap programs. 1.00

02:11:50 That's what it is. 0.99

02:11:51 If they cared about people, they certainly wouldn't release murderers back out on the

02:11:57 street, and they're doing that every day, every day.

02:12:04 Some criminal with a lengthy, violent criminal record gets released from prison or jail,

02:12:13 zero bail, and they're able to walk around, and if they commit another crime, they're

02:12:19 able to walk around again right up until they murder someone and then no one says oh that

02:12:26 shouldn't happen where's the consequence where's the responsibility yeah maybe we shouldn't have

02:12:33 let that person out well if you wanted uh to make your your constituents safe if you wanted to

02:12:43 protect vulnerable new yorkers wouldn't that be the the the first thing you did was make sure

02:12:50 murderers aren't roaming around the streets but they did that tells me right there if i was 0.85

02:12:58 retarded enough to not know it already that would tell me that they really don't care about people 0.93

02:13:07 when politicians say they care it makes me i want to crack my own teeth by biting down hard 0.98

02:13:15 i i want blood from biting my own cheek because i'm so annoyed with these people we care

02:13:25 how many people do you really care about care about my family about my friends other than that

02:13:36 I'm more shook up when I see animals being mistreated on social media

02:13:42 than I am seeing people being mistreated.

02:13:46 Number one, I don't know them.

02:13:50 Number two, they're usually involved in something

02:13:53 where maybe a little tune-up is in order.

02:13:57 Not like poor animals.

02:14:00 But whenever politicians get on that whole thing of caring,

02:14:03 they care about people.

02:14:06 Oh, stop it.

02:14:07 If they cared, they'd lock up violent criminals. 0.93

02:14:11 They wouldn't sue Polly Market. 1.00

02:14:14 So you couldn't place a bet that old Gammy Madonna is going to win a video music award.

02:14:24 How dare they try to keep me from making that bet? 0.96

02:14:27 Nah.

02:14:29 That's right.

02:14:32 Silas?

02:14:33 Is that your name?

02:14:35 Staten Island?

02:14:36 what's up yeah silas silas what's up yeah well there's one thing i think it was uh paulie

02:14:45 castorano got eliminated because he got a little too greedy yeah well we don't have to uh we don't 0.94

02:14:53 have to use violence or guns of course not just just knock her butt out of there and put bruce 1.00

02:14:58 blakeman in it would be great and then letitia james there's a woman her i forgot her name she's 1.00

02:15:05 running for letitia's old because this girl who's running for her seat is not only intelligent 1.00

02:15:13 and actually knows the job letitia is not a very intelligent woman no and she's not good for new 1.00

02:15:20 up so let's get rid of the both of them without firing a shot nobody and you know when we talk 0.97

02:15:28 about now there are times i have to talk like a black man when i'm talking to mr uh obama and 0.99

02:15:35 there's other times you know i gotta talk intelligent when i'm talking to other people 0.99

02:15:38 so remember obama wanted black men to be so stupid to vote for kamala harris yeah he actually 1.00

02:15:46 thought we were going to do it yep yeah so we can eliminate all of these problems yeah you know 1.00

02:15:54 he did not want to say that you know he did not want to say vote for kamala harris i i he's one

02:16:02 of those guys that you know he must but he plays the game he knows politics so he's got to stand

02:16:09 there and go this is the most qualified person ever to run for president he said that he said

02:16:16 She was the most qualified person to ever run for president.

02:16:20 Take all the presidents we've had over the history. 0.95

02:16:23 She is better than all of them. 0.98

02:16:25 Come on, Obama.

02:16:28 And you know he doesn't believe it.

02:16:29 Of course not. 1.00

02:16:30 He wants you to be stupid. 1.00

02:16:31 He's a liar. 1.00

02:16:32 He affects the easily manipulated and stupid people. 1.00

02:16:38 Those are the people that think he's amazing and sincere and wonderful. 1.00

02:16:42 And meanwhile, he's a liar, just like most politicians. 0.97

02:16:45 And he's not that bright. 0.99

02:16:46 I'm not even faulting him. 1.00

02:16:47 He's a liar like most politicians. 0.99

02:16:50 Yes, he's not that bright when he speaks. 1.00

02:16:52 He's got to think about what he's going to say.

02:16:55 No, he says things people want to hear, but he's not saying much.

02:17:00 I hear you.

02:17:01 Silas, thank you, my friend.

02:17:02 Thanks for the call, man.

02:17:04 There you go.

02:17:05 Isn't it crazy?

02:17:06 Isn't it crazy this is the place we're at?

02:17:09 i think back and think like when i was a kid i i wasn't very interested in politics

02:17:16 i kind of got interested in watergate because that was you know and i was a kid at that point

02:17:22 what was i like i don't know 12 13 something like that and i was interested in it because

02:17:29 it was on the news every day and it was different you know and it was funny to you know do the

02:17:34 nixon voice you won't have dick nixon a kick around anymore i hope roger stone doesn't get mad at me

02:17:41 but it was funny as a kid you want to do impressions and things like that but i just do

02:17:48 not remember the the presidency or or potential candidates for the presidency uh candidates and

02:17:58 people that are in the House and the Senate being such complete wastes of space, being 1.00

02:18:04 so stupid, so such liars. 1.00

02:18:08 I just never and look, I remember watching talk shows and Rowan and Martin's laughing 1.00

02:18:17 when I was nine years old or something, and they would make fun of politicians and they

02:18:21 would make jokes about how they lie and cheat and scandals and things.

02:18:26 so i understand it's it's something that's always been around but never never at uh to this magnitude

02:18:35 we we are in a place in this country a time and place where there is no uh no one you can look at

02:18:45 and go there's the shining light there's the person or people that can pull us out of this

02:18:53 especially when people say they want to unite the nation, reunite the nation,

02:19:01 get people back together, talking reasonably to each other,

02:19:08 not feeling so much like we're on different teams, on different sides.

02:19:14 I cannot fathom that right now.

02:19:18 i can't fathom that in the i'll say near future but even mid future we might be at a point where

02:19:28 we cannot fix this and become a country where we are speaking to each other again even if you don't

02:19:37 agree politically there is a hatred of each other if you are left right republican democrat

02:19:46 conservative liberal communist cool person all right maybe the last one was a little

02:19:53 biased but uh i don't see it and i don't see a leader that can bring us together again any one 1.00

02:20:02 of these idiots that come up to a mic at a debate or at a rally or at a speech and say i will bring 1.00

02:20:09 us back together we need to be united shut up ain't happening this needs a much bigger dose 1.00

02:20:19 of medicine than some politician is going to uh deal out all right where are you going back in a

02:20:26 moment the anthony cumia show i'm you know i'm scrolling through uh social media during the

02:20:34 break and uh you know mtv the the vmas the video music awards are going on and madonna's the big

02:20:42 get this year i mean really that was necessary to pull her out of her coffin and uh prop her up

02:20:51 but uh this guy this guy posted he goes moments ago mtv has madonna on live tv a live tv with

02:21:02 laser butt plugs who does this type of behavior appeal to and i'm watching the video and indeed

02:21:09 uh madonna on stage with backup dancers and all the rigmarole that goes on in a big

02:21:17 award show performance and there are butt plug lasers uh i don't even know what to say

02:21:25 i don't even know what to say fascinating just absolutely fascinating

02:21:33 holy crap bob pitts boy what's up bob how are you doing i love your show thank you man what i

02:21:43 wanted to say was i believe that the day after the uh this coming election what the president 0.93

02:21:49 ought to do is pack the court with four more new justices because the democrats have been talking

02:21:57 about it and they'll do it uh if they win the presidency in uh 2028 yep i think you're right

02:22:07 but i don't think anyone wants to be the first person or party to pull that trigger because that

02:22:15 can start an avalanche of other things, you know, as far as, I don't know, term limits

02:22:24 on the Supreme Court.

02:22:29 Well, I kind of what what has the Supreme Court done over the course of its history

02:22:37 that would lead anyone to believe they would operate better with more people or term limits?

02:22:45 I think it's worked out pretty well over the course of history.

02:22:48 You're going to win and you're going to lose based on your ideology when the Supreme Court makes its decisions.

02:22:55 You're going to agree with some of them.

02:22:57 You're going to hate some of them.

02:22:58 But I think both sides have felt both of those things, which means it's working.

02:23:04 If you start juggling that stuff around, you're really going to screw the entire system up even more than it is now, I think, anyway.

02:23:13 Well, I personally believe that they should keep it at 9, but if they're going to expand it to 13, I think it's better that the Republicans do it rather than the Democrats.

02:23:28 Yeah, well, right now, I wouldn't think that after the midterms, we're going to have a majority enough to even get anything passed, never mind changing the numbers of the Supreme Court and then getting Supreme Court justices approved by a hostile House and Senate.

02:23:52 So it's a pipe dream there, as my grandpa used to say.

02:23:56 That's a pipe dream there, Bob.

02:23:58 But I appreciate the sentiment and the call.

02:24:02 Very good.

02:24:04 Maryland.

02:24:04 Maryland is a state that includes Baltimore.

02:24:10 And Baltimore is a state that includes murder, doesn't it?

02:24:15 Don't we all know that? 0.51

02:24:16 so what has the state of maryland decided to do about its gun crime and i love when it's called

02:24:24 gun crime because you mean thug crime it's thug crime they're using guns but they could use

02:24:32 anything machete a stick uh so maryland is really grabbing the bull by the horns as they say and

02:24:41 they want to ban glocks yes the the the gun the handgun glocks one of the most widely used and

02:24:50 owned uh handguns in the country why because glocks can easily easily be made into automatic

02:25:01 pistols something called a switch yo you put a switch on your glock and you can empty that clip

02:25:08 in a split second and if you have one of those giant clips uh magazines if you're not a thug

02:25:15 uh on your gun you could rattle off a hundred rounds in no time oh they're not going to hit

02:25:22 your intended target don't get me wrong they're going to fly all over the place because you can't

02:25:29 possibly aim a fully automatic clock firing a hundred rounds and you're going to hit grandma

02:25:35 and you're going to hit someone's mama 0.98

02:25:38 and you're going to hit someone's baby. 0.99

02:25:41 But that doesn't matter. 1.00

02:25:43 As long as you ban Glocks.

02:25:46 Oh, by the way, did I tell everyone that switches are already illegal?

02:25:52 That you're not allowed to modify your Glock with a switch

02:25:56 to make it fully automatic?

02:25:58 These lawmakers seem to think that criminals,

02:26:03 People that pay no attention to the law, right up to the crime of murder, will adhere to rules about what guns are and aren't legal.

02:26:15 So you're taking those guns, and the Glock is, like I said, a very widely used gun.

02:26:21 You're taking those away from legal law abiding citizens because criminals use them to modify them to make fully automatic weapons.

02:26:31 Sounds good to me, right?

02:26:34 Great bit of lawmaking there, legislation down there in Maryland.

02:26:40 Oh, boy.

02:26:41 All right, kids.
