I “grew up” with Anthony Cumia of the Opie and Anthony radio present. His program had an incredible impression on younger folks within the northeast, and I used to be a New Jersey teenager. Each skit, each joke, and each prank would flow into by highschool the following day, and be recycled at sports activities follow.
Individuals typically speak about “everyman” attraction with out defining it. It’s a high quality a Hollywood legend can have, however it may’t be put into phrases. The closest I can get is somebody everybody needs he had in his circle of mates. Everyman attraction can’t be faked, and Anthony Cumia has it.
Gen X and Millennials grew up accustomed to vulgarity, and it’s essential to recollect why. For us younger listeners, political correctness was the enemy. Free speech was sacred. However to name us “conservatives” misses the purpose. We hated crime and concrete chaos, and had an inherent patriotism the entire world noticed within the northeast’s response to September 11. This wasn’t “political.” There was nothing “political” about supporting the police, making enjoyable of silly folks, cracking a politically incorrect joke, or liking fairly girls. It was simply widespread sense on the Finish of Historical past throughout a time of unquestioned American dominance.
However for a lot of non-white America, free speech, the USA, and free-wheeling humor are now not widespread sense. And for lots of whites, “trans children,” drag exhibits, and letting illegals vote come first. When concepts we take as a right come underneath assault, most individuals don’t have any ready-made arguments to defend them as a result of the concepts have been all the time unquestioned. And those that do try to elucidate get the ax.
Anthony Cumia was one of many first victims of what we name “cancellation.” Ten years in the past, he misplaced his wildly standard present for committing America’s equal of blasphemy: He talked about black-on-white violence. Since then, he has performed what few others have: He started a second act in life with the Anthony Cumia Present on Compound Media and an X account with nearly 300,000 followers. Each day, he tells the reality as he sees it. He isn’t simply an entertainer anymore – although he’s nonetheless probably the greatest. He’s a champion for our folks.
He paid the value. Just a few dare converse the reality, as a result of lies pay. You get forward in media by recycling the identical bromides. On this period, to be artistic is to be brave, and Anthony Cumia is brave.
I’m extremely excited that Mr. Cumia will likely be talking at this yr’s American Renaissance convention. Will probably be an honor to share the rostrum with one in all my childhood heroes. If you happen to’ve heard me converse, you already know I’ve no stage fright, however I admit it: This time, I’m a bit intimidated. I’ll be within the shadow of one of many all-time greats.
“I’m so completely happy to be talking at AmRen this yr,” says Mr. Cumia. “I’ve been following Mr. Taylor’s writings and movies for fairly a while and I’m honored to have been requested to talk at this occasion.”
Mr. Cumia calls the convention “a discussion board to talk out and to be heard regarding crucial challenges America faces at present.” Thanks, Anthony Cumia, for becoming a member of us.
We count on to pack the home this yr, so please register now for the American Renaissance convention for November 15–17. Will probably be proper after the election, so whichever method it goes, we’ll have quite a bit to speak about. I can’t wait to listen to what Mr. Cumia should say.
