Joe Rogan Experience #1209 - Anthony Cumia

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   (laughs) I don't think…

   1. ACAnthony Cumia0:00

      (laughs) I don't think that would pan out. I had a similar idea. (slaps table)

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:07

      Anthony Cumia, we're live, sir.

   3. ACAnthony Cumia0:09

      I love it. Joe Rogan.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:11

      If it was not for you-

   5. ACAnthony Cumia0:12

      Oh my God.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      ... this, this would not exist. That is a fact.

   7. ACAnthony Cumia0:14

      Which is insane.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      That is 100% actual fact. I was watching you doing Live from the Compound. Me and Brian Redband were sitting in my fucking living room, and we were watching you.

   9. ACAnthony Cumia0:25

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       You were fucking playing karaoke. You were singing karaoke with a machine gun in front of a green screen.

   11. ACAnthony Cumia0:30

       (laughs) Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       And I was like, "This guy, this guy just set up his own studio. Like, he already has Opie and Anthony Show." At the time, you guys were on Sirius XM.

   13. ACAnthony Cumia0:39

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       And you just decided to do this thing in your basement, just for a goof.

   15. ACAnthony Cumia0:43

       Yeah, it was like a hobby.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       It's like, guys who don't have kids, married g- uh, who are not married, don't have kids, don't have anybody telling them what to do, and they also have disposable income, then you get to see what guys really wanna do.

   17. ACAnthony Cumia0:54

       Yes.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       They wanna sing karaoke with a machine gun in front of a green screen. (laughs)

   19. ACAnthony Cumia0:57

       Yeah, it was cra- crazy gun guy karaoke, so I could do that. If, if I was married, I would have a wife that would lose her mind at my living room. Like, my living room table that you're supposed to have a candle on and little tchotchkes and stuff, is a wide screen, uh, computer monitor and, uh, a gaming system right next to the table. I have a gaming computer that's just unbelievable, and I sit there and just play video games.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       So, the table itself is a gaming monitor?

   21. ACAnthony Cumia1:26

       Yeah, the whole tab- well the, it's-

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:28

       Is it one of those touchscreen ones?

   23. ACAnthony Cumia1:30

       No, it's, it's a giant wide monitor. It's like, uh, like 40 inches wide.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:35

       So, that's the table?

   25. ACAnthony Cumia1:36

       No, it's on the table.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:37

       Oh, on the table.

   27. ACAnthony Cumia1:38

       The t- yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:38

       I was confused.

   29. ACAnthony Cumia1:38

       The table's this big, heavy metal thing, but-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:40

       Oh.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Slash nutcase. …

   1. ACAnthony Cumia15:00

      kinda independent reporter girl. And, uh-

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Slash nutcase.

   3. ACAnthony Cumia15:03

      Slash nutcase. Whatever.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      (laughs)

   5. ACAnthony Cumia15:05

      Yeah, yeah. Whatever you wanna-

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      She chained herself to Twitter.

   7. ACAnthony Cumia15:07

      She chained herself to Twitter yesterday.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      That's all you needed to know.

   9. ACAnthony Cumia15:09

      It's hilarious. I just watched it, uh, on Periscope as it was going on. And she's got a bullhorn, and she's just-

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:15

       Yeah.

   11. ACAnthony Cumia15:15

       ... yelling, uh, at Twitter. This is where you lose me. When you get a boo, a b- bullhorn. Like ... Yeah. (laughs) You know what's funny? It's kinda left-wing tactics she was using.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       Yeah.

   13. ACAnthony Cumia15:25

       'Cause, uh, conservatives, the right, Republicans, whatever you wanna call it, are pretty mellow when it comes to- they don't demonstrate really.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Right.

   15. ACAnthony Cumia15:33

       They like to just get in there and, and do their shit, whatever it is. Uh, but liberals really like getting out there and marching and yelling and bullhorns and, uh, stuff like that. So it was weird, like, to see that on the other end.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:47

       Yeah.

   17. ACAnthony Cumia15:47

       Uh, but she, she's just screaming and, uh, I guess, I guess they, they unhooked her and, uh, and arrested her, so-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       (laughs)

   19. ACAnthony Cumia15:55

       ... it was pretty funny.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       What did they fi- what did they kick her off of Twitter for?

   21. ACAnthony Cumia15:58

       They kicked her off for talking about, uh, Islam and talking about how, uh, Twitter was celebrating, uh, Women's Day, whatever, whatever that was, uh, on a certain day, by, uh, focusing ... Like, the picture was one of those, uh, Islamic women that got elected to office up in, uh, what was it? Minnesota or somewhere or ... So she said how hypocritical that was because, you know, Islam is for female genital mutilation and, uh, against women's rights and they kill gay people and ... And that's all she posted, and she got kicked off for the hate speech against Islam.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:35

       Wow.

   23. ACAnthony Cumia16:35

       And, and then her argument was Louis Farrakhan is saying, you know, "I'm not an anti-Semite, I'm an anti-termite," equating Jews with insects.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:43

       Yeah.

   25. ACAnthony Cumia16:43

       Which is pretty 1930s Germany (laughs) kind of a thing. So, uh, you know, while her heart was in the right place (laughs) , I guess, uh, it did come off a little wacky. She also had a, um, Star of David, a yellow Star of David on her, her shirt, uh, as she was chained to Twitter.

   26. JRJoe Rogan17:01

       Interesting.

   27. ACAnthony Cumia17:02

       And people got upset with that. Uh, there she is. I just thought-

   28. JRJoe Rogan17:05

       (clears throat)

   29. ACAnthony Cumia17:06

       ... to tell you the truth-

   30. JRJoe Rogan17:06

       (laughs)
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      ago this week. Exactly one year ago. Wow. This was, was November 11th, 2017 was when he quit.

   2. ACAnthony Cumia30:05

      (laughs)

   3. NANarrator30:06

      ... get a pardon from Trump or that Mueller, as I've also reported here, has succeeded in finding a way around Trump's pardon power. And either of these near certainties spell Trump's doom.

   4. ACAnthony Cumia30:19

      (laughs) ... so that's the most obvious of the seven ways for Trump to go now.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:24

      Seven? (laughs)

   6. ACAnthony Cumia30:24

      Mueller really will get him on Russia. It will be ugly and it will tear this country nearly apart, but it will be necessary. The second way is, as I've also repeatedly suggested here, that Mueller doesn't really need to prove anything about Trump and Russian sabotage of the election. There seems to be so much obstruction of justice-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:43

      (laughs)

   8. ACAnthony Cumia30:43

      ... from the firing of James Comey to the lies about Trump Jr.'s meetings with the Russians, that it's hard to pick out a key player in the Trump inner circle who could not be guilty of it.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:54

      (laughs)

   10. ACAnthony Cumia30:54

       Trump to be impeached is very possible.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:56

       (laughs) It's, it's so funny, like-

   12. ACAnthony Cumia30:57

       It's weird.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:57

       ... a year ago- And it's like-

   14. ACAnthony Cumia30:59

       Yeah. Nope.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       ... it's still goin'.

   16. ACAnthony Cumia31:00

       Still goin'.

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:01

       Still goin' and, and- He's like, "It's fake news." Yeah. "End it now." Fake news, it's a hoax. But it is interesting, like, Mueller, to me, is fascinating because he seems like a ruthless motherfucker- Yeah, yeah. ... who takes his time. He's like a guy who says, "Hey. Look at me. I'm gonna kill you." (laughs) Yeah, yeah. "And it's not gonna be today. Okay? That's all you need to know." Yeah. "It's not gonna be today, but I'm gonna fucking kill you." And like, every day, he's plotting on killing you. You see him drive by your house and wave. Yeah, and you're like- Yeah. ... "When is, when is the hammer falling?" Y- you look out your window of your office, he's out in the park- Yeah, look at that guy. ... drinking coffee.

   18. ACAnthony Cumia31:35

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:35

       Oh, he has seen some shit. Oh, I mean- This guy. He's, yeah, I mean, he's a cold-blooded intelligence agent. Yeah, yeah. I mean, tho- tho- those guys have seen everything. Uh-huh. He knows the inner workings of the machine and he knows how you bring a guy like that down and how you fuck it up. And he's doing everything that leads me to believe that he's not fucking it up. Uh- This is a slow play.

   20. ACAnthony Cumia31:58

       And if there is, if there is anything to, uh, uh, the Russian thing, I, I, you would think something would've leaked out by now.

   21. JRJoe Rogan32:05

       Well, it has. I mean-

   22. ACAnthony Cumia32:06

       And-

   23. JRJoe Rogan32:06

       There was a, there was a video the other day of Donald, that they just played on CNN, of Donald, uh, talking about how many times he's actually been to Russ- Donald Jr.

   24. ACAnthony Cumia32:14

       Uh-huh.

   25. JRJoe Rogan32:15

       And, you know, he had said that he hadn't been, but then there's another video of him from years ago saying, "Yeah, I've been there many times."

   26. ACAnthony Cumia32:21

       Yeah, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan32:21

       "2005, '06, '07, '08-"

   28. ACAnthony Cumia32:22

       Well-

   29. JRJoe Rogan32:23

       "... talking about business."

   30. ACAnthony Cumia32:24

       The problem with, uh, the people that are going after Trump, uh, uh, that they don't seem to understand, the guy, right up until he became president of the United States, was just a private citizen businessman. So he had a lot of dealings around the world with, uh, his real estate and buildings and, and, uh, golf courses. All this shit happened when he was just a citizen doing business. Now, whether it was ethical or not, um, that, that could definitely be brought into question. Whether it's legal or not, uh, I'm sure that's what they're looking into also. But he wasn't, he wasn't, uh, beholden to the people as a public servant. There wasn't a conflict of interest because he was a lifelong politician-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (laughs) …

   1. ACAnthony Cumia45:00

      I had a, uh, an experience, um, out... It was, uh, Broadway, I guess? Uh, and they have those pedal cabs that go around, and they were all Russian dudes, big f- fucking legs on them, and they pedal around. And I was looking for a cab, a real cab, to take me downtown. I wasn't gonna ride 15 blocks in a, a tricycle-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      (laughs)

   3. ACAnthony Cumia45:19

      ... uh, y- with Yuri pedaling in front of me. So, uh, this guy passed by once and said, "You need cab?" I was like, "No, I'm good. Thanks." He comes around again, I'm still waiting for a cab. And he goes, "Cab?" And I was like, "I'm not gonna have you pedal me 15 fucking blocks. No! Move!" And, and you could yell at a cab driver in New York. They'll yell out your window and stuff. They rarely will get out of their car. They know, you know, you got the medallion right there. You could p- just call the number and say you were being harassed by a cab driver. So they won't do anything. This guy gets off his fucking bike, "You have a fucking problem?"

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:54

      (laughs)

   5. ACAnthony Cumia45:54

      "You have fucking problem?" What? And, and I was just like, "Oh shit, it's going down."

   6. JRJoe Rogan46:01

      (laughs)

   7. ACAnthony Cumia46:01

      Like, I, I... This guy means business. And of course I'm like, "Nope. No. All good. All good. I, I... Thank you. I don't need a, a cab." "You right, motherfuck."

   8. JRJoe Rogan46:10

      (laughs)

   9. ACAnthony Cumia46:10

      And that was it, but you don't fuck with Russians.

   10. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       No, they're not regular white people.

   11. ACAnthony Cumia46:14

       No, they're not. (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:15

       They're not. They're hard people.

   13. ACAnthony Cumia46:17

       Yeah, yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:18

       You know, we, you, you see that in the UFC.

   15. ACAnthony Cumia46:20

       Y- right.

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:20

       There's a lot of badass Russians fighting in UFC now.

   17. ACAnthony Cumia46:21

       Well, obviously we, we saw that, uh, recently.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:24

       Khabib Nurmagomedov. Yeah.

   19. ACAnthony Cumia46:25

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:26

       Yeah.

   21. ACAnthony Cumia46:26

       That-

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:26

       When he was on top of Conor, punching him in the face, saying, "Let's talk now."

   23. ACAnthony Cumia46:30

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:30

       "Let's talk."

   25. ACAnthony Cumia46:30

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:30

       "Let's talk." Boom! "Let's talk. Come on, we talk." Boom!

   27. ACAnthony Cumia46:34

       Just twisted.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:35

       Horrific.

   29. ACAnthony Cumia46:36

       Yeah, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:36

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:10:35

   Yeah. …

   1. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:00

      mesmerized with this.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Yeah.

   3. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:01

      The, the illusionist size that they got in the ship and space battles-

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      And the ship was an actual ship.

   5. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:06

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      They made it out of, like, plastic model cars.

   7. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:09

      Yeah, practical effects. It was all, like, you know-

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      Yeah, they took models. Like, they went and bought, like, a bunch of different ... You remember those old models that we used to do at cars and then you would paint them?

   9. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:18

      Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

       You know? Remember those?

   11. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:20

       I do.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

       You'd glue 'em together. You get the model glue and everything.

   13. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:22

       Right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       I used to love those.

   15. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:23

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       They took ...... a bunch of parts from those things and built the Millennium Falcon. They built those battleships from, like, parts, like, shit.

   17. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:31

       And you could kinda tell-

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       Yeah.

   19. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:33

       ... 'cause they're so weird and eclectic, and-

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       Yeah.

   21. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:35

       ... some of the parts don't seem to match.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       Right.

   23. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:38

       Uh-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

       But it worked.

   25. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:38

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

       It looked cool.

   27. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:39

       It totally worked.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       Yeah.

   29. ACAnthony Cumia1:00:41

       That was, uh, you know, if you... You didn't imagine, uh, being in a, one of those X-Wing fighters as a kid.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:00:46

       Yeah.
