Summary
This episode of The Anthony Cumia Show tackles union corruption and the chaos surrounding a Long Island Railroad strike before diving into the explosive case of online provocateur “Chud the Builder,” who now faces charges after a racially charged shooting. Cumia breaks down the legal pitfalls of self-defense cases, warns against talking to police without a lawyer, and questions the danger of emotionally driven juries. The show also takes aim at New York’s fiscal mismanagement, congestion pricing, rising crime, and the decline of public libraries, arguing they’ve strayed far from their original purpose. The episode closes with a sharp critique of failing classroom discipline and soft-on-crime sentencing policies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
