I would tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again. Folks welcome on a Thursday great show today. One guest very interesting.

I didn't know who this guy was when Tommy brought him to me. A very successful businessman, young guy, upstate New York looking to fill Elise Stefanik's seat in 21st district of which is upstate New York. He found that a company, you guys probably use it, you probably know of it, called Sticker Mule and it's so successful he's got over 1,200 employees and it's in a bunch of different countries and he really didn't know much about the internet when he started it or whatever. Just a really bright guy and a huge Trump fan. Once Trump got shot he said enough of this.

Actually put a sign on his building. Yeah there it is, vote Trump. And this is in New York State. It doesn't matter. I know there's a lot of Trump fans up in New York State. Doesn't matter. This pissed off a lot of people and he's just one of us, only way brighter. Went to RPI and it was a real, really interesting talk with this guy. His name is Anthony Constantino and I here he is please welcome to the show Anthony Constantino hey Nick very happy to be here and you're correct it is the 21st Congressional District

where I've been from and I built my business my business is in the district is exchanging a little bit right next to the district but I've been living in the district my whole life and excited to be here talking to you today. We appreciate you taking the time Anthony. It just amazes me man guys like you and I was reading a little bit about first of all let's talk about the business before we get into your political ambitions. Stick him you like I just asked my produce cycle he goes yeah I've used it all the time and stuff and it said you started this with like a 72 year old guy who didn't wasn't familiar with

The internet and it exactly is that true? Give us a little background on that I do everything very quickly actually learned to do everything very quickly So I had a very brief conversation with a friend of mine It was in his 70s about 15 years ago And I said, you know be fun to start an internet company and he said to And he said to me, Anthony, what the heck do people do on the internet? He had never used the internet. And so I opened a laptop and I showed him a website called Cafe Press. They're still around.

Yes. He went home and I don't know if I should repeat this part, but he came and saw me the next day and he said, Anthony, I spent last night with a bottle of vodka. I finished the bottle of vodka when we used the internet company together. So this is a comedy show, I'm sure I can share that. That was the conversation. And to his credit, I gotta give him a lot of credit, I said, I said, Tom, I said, uh, Tom, your lip is bleeding.

Yeah. I said, Tom, you know, give me a few months, we'll talk about it. And he said, Anthony, you showed me the internet last night, you're five years too late, you gotta start right now. But I'll back you, but tell me you wanna do it. Tell me you really wanna do it. And so I said, all right, let's do it. And we launched Sticker Mill three months later.

I learned from him. I already moved very quickly when I was younger. People told me I had a problem with patience. And I'm in my, my co-founder, he has less patience than I do. And I think President Trump has a problem with patience as well. He's already fixing the situation with the hostages.

Biden didn't know what to do. We had the situation going on and he couldn't figure it out. Trump's not even president yet and he already got the president of Canada removed. He was going to be the governor of Canada, but now he's nobody. And he got the situation fixed with the hostages. So he like, see, I think he has about probably less patience than me. My co-founder has very little patience and yeah, my number one principle in life is move quickly.

So I started a company after a brief conversation in three months. It exploded, turned to 1,200 people over the last 15 years. And some people don't know, some people don't, but I was actually one of the first people to be canceled. I was canceled before they called it cancellation. I was canceled in 2016 for writing posts on a website that used to be called Tweets on a website called Twitter. I wrote some posts, some very nice posts about the president on a website that used to be called tweets on a website called Twitter I wrote some posts some very nice post about the president on a website called Twitter at the time was ran by a terrible

guy named Jack Dorsey who's He's hiding on an island somewhere and you know, we all know not so good things going on islands, but he's hiding somewhere For the good of all society, but I wrote some tweets about eight years ago and Democrat activists found out about the tweets and made a big stink about it. Next thing I know, tens of thousands of people were writing emails telling me they hate my company.

They were gonna just, my company's gonna be destroyed. It's gonna go down in flames. They were saying all sorts of nasty stuff. Nobody even knew what cancellation was at the time. So I think I was among the first. Oh, I did. People canceled. I was among one of the first.

Well, I think they started calling it cancellation later on. But, you know, I don't know when the right call that they called it. They didn't have a name for it yet. So they had it didn't have a name for it yet. But, you know, I got a front row seat to how bad the Democrat Party is in 2016 over a few tweets. And also, I made a $500 donation to the campaign in 2016. So I got canceled in 2016, got a front row seat to how bad the Democrat Party is.

Back then, I talked to my MAGA friends, my conservative, to the campaign in 2016. So I got canceled in 2016, got a front row seat to how bad the Democrat party is back then. I should talk to my MAGA friends, my conservative, my more conservative friends. I got friends from all different backgrounds, cultural backgrounds, political backgrounds. But I got some conservative friends and I told them at the time, I said, I'm gonna do everything I can to build my company up

to be so strong that in the event I wanna take action against the Democrat party in the future, they will not be able to intimidate me. And that in the event I want to take action against the Democrat Party in the future they won't be able to debate they will not be able to intimidate me and that's the situation we're in today after President Trump got shot and Butler I immediately spoke up and endorsed him to my 5 million customers it was I believe the most viral endorsement of the 2024 election cycle exploded on social media this time I got a lot more hate usually we get five to ten thousand emails a day.

I was getting one hundred thousand emails a day from Democrat fanatics that were writing in and saying horrible things hoping for the demise of my company, which makes no sense at all. Why would an American want another American business to die? But the Democrat Party's poisoned the minds of their voters, especially their most fanatical voters, and they've made them want really foolish things like the demise of American businesses. And they also wanted the end of free speech. They got the Democrat party had convinced their voters that free speech isn't a good thing.

But luckily they lost big time. I worked very hard to try to help reelect President Trump simply by standing up and admitting I like him following my attempted cancellation, following the assassination. I just kept doing everything I could. When the backlash died down, I remember my friends, they said,

Anthony, major point, stand down and get back to work. And I said, if I stand down, it's gonna look like I got silenced because people are gonna see the backlash and they're gonna think that I got intimidated. And I said, no, we're gonna speak up. We're gonna keep speaking up in support of the president and give a lot of people courage to do the same.

That led me to put the largest vote for Trump sign in the country atop my tallest factory building was visible from the New York State through a it's a beautiful sign. That's a big sign. I know the area. I know the area. Yeah, very big sign. Once again, got a front row seat to a Democrat bad behavior. And they tried to believe it or not throw me in jail over the sign. They threw a restraining order on me, forbidding me from displaying the sign under threat of arrest. I got some really great attorneys. I tell people because I didn't go to jail people can't imagine me in jail but I said I didn't go to jail because I got

great attorneys but not everybody has the ability to go out and hire phenomenal attorneys. Not everybody knows how to do that and so I think if I did not have my attorneys I probably would be in jail. I would have been in jail for actually I talked to my attorneys I said in the event I go to jail how long do that and so I think if I did not have my attorneys I probably would be in jail I would have been in jail for actually I talked to my attorneys I said in the event I go to jail how long do I go to jail for and they said we're not allowed to tell you that because we would be aiding and abetting a crime and we're not allowed to do that but they said we can tell you it would be for a little while we can't tell you exactly how long where would you do the time in Lewisburg I don't, I was in upstate New York so I guess it would have been county jail in

Montgomery County. Because I think, isn't there a prison where they used to send all the Gambino members that are crime family in New York City, they'd always do a stint up in Lewisburg, I thought it was upstate. Yeah. Yeah, they get nothing on you. We're talking to Anthony Constantino and running for the empty seat, Elise Stefanik's seat. And you know, it's funny you said, it makes no sense they want to destroy my business. It makes perfect sense because they are Marxist, excuse the phrase, cocksuckers.

I don't know why we keep treating the Democrat Party like they're a legitimate political party. They're a criminal enterprise. And I'll be disappointed, Anthony. I'll be honest if Trump gets in there. And I don't see some people going to jail. I know he's going to have a knuff on his plate. He's going to be busy as hell. But I will be very disappointed if I don't see some of these people held accountable for the shit they tried to pull on him. How do you feel about that? We'll see what happens. You know, the biggest cheek of me, although probably the Democrats wouldn't believe it, but you know, when I first started working and I was younger and people still say it,

my biggest problem is my heart is too big. I have too big of a heart and I think President Trump has an enormous heart too. So I agree with you. There's probably some really bad actors that deserve some sort of severe consequence. We'll have to see what he does I really think President Trump has an enormous heart and hopefully it's not too big this time and he's able to do some corrective action in that regard but uh he has a big heart people don't see it but he really does and by the way I got to

become friendly with a guy named Roger Stone who's supporting my I know Roger he's been on the show a few times Rogers great Roger broke. Roger broke the story about the sign when you talk about mobsters We went to Roger took me to Sparks. I believe it's called Sparks steakhouse New York City where the guy was shot. Yes, we had a great dinner there Really delicious dinner with Roger Stone where the guy was shot. I don't know what my officers name it was I don't recall exactly Paul. I'll tell you right now Paul Castellano and I don't recall exactly. Paul, I'll tell you right now. Paul Castellano.

And John Gotti did the work. He sat in a car across the street. I think I had just moved to New York. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through Lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work. Mark went the extra mile on his repairs with a loan from Brokers Lamina at 1-800-NEW-CREDIT.

Anyways, Roger Stone, that's when you know, this is how you judge good restaurants, by the way, in New York City, Chicago, if they have pictures of if the mobsters hung out there, you know, you're going to get good food. They don't hang out of fucking Arby's or IHOP. So, Spark Steakhouse is famous. There's a movie, Anthony. I know you're how old are you, Anthony? I mean, I should add you look pretty too 42 first of all you look 32 are you Italian or Greek Italian

Italian absolutely yeah he's a big fan of getting more Italians in Congress I think I'm the only successful Italian in tech I don't know many other Italians like making them making a name for these Italians both politically and in the business world. Oh, I don't know Sammy the Bull is very successful podcast. All right, well maybe I gotta talk to him next. That would be a lot of fun but we got dinner with Roger at Sparks Steakhouse. It was a great steakhouse. I recommend everybody go there but Roger's a big guy. He's known as being very tough, but

I can tell he has an enormous heart too. Yes, from cocaine. All the guys like President Trump, myself and Roger, they think we're tough guys. I guess we are, but we have very big hearts. So I think we're going to have to see what President Trump does. He has an enormous heart and I think he's going to want to, they focus on fixing as many big issues as possible and helping as many people as possible. I fell in love with Roger Stone when I saw that he had a Richard Nixon tattoo when he got it when he was like 19. Nixon wasn't very popular when Roger was 19 which shows me this guy's great and he hosted Alex Jones's show Infowars he was the guest host and he had me on I

didn't even know he knew I existed. Apparently he's a comedy fan and that's a good guy to be around. Absolutely. And you know the Dems hate his guts because he's a guy like you that gets, that's the thing about you, Anthony, you get shit done. You don't talk about it, you do it. Right? Correct. You're that type of guy. I like doing things. I move very quickly. People say, what are you doing in politics? But you know But I move very quickly and I get things done and I think that's what we need. Some of the other people that are running for this position that are interested in position,

it took them weeks to even announce they were interested in the job. It took me about a day. I talked to Roger. Believe it or not, Congresswoman Stefanik got the news that President Trump is gonna be appointing her to the UN. I was on my way to see Roger who invited me for dinner

and I said to Roger, hey, they're suggesting I run for the seat. What do you think Roger said? It's a good idea in an event you do it, you'd have my full support. He said it without hesitating, and he barely knew me at the time. So I said, well, that's a good sign.

Talked to some friends and decided to go for it. I think it was the first to announce my interest in the seat. And I've been very active getting things done very quickly. People, I think, are seeing that. I had no experience on social media at all, but I now have the number one Facebook in the area. And I'm doing a massive event very soon in Glens Falls, which is in the district,

because once again, the Democrats behave badly. Packing a friend of mine, this is a smaller story, but it's Michael National, because it's getting some major coverage. But my friend runs a MMA promotion called Cage Wars. And on election night, they got the call that they're getting kicked out of the local casino due to their friendship with me they got attacked politically their political collateral and they're due to my political activity they got kicked

out of the casino they had eight years of sold-out shows 27 sold-out shows all of a sudden they get kicked out on election night and then now the casino didn't expect me to step in so I stepped in and I said I felt terrible about the situation and I'm bringing them to another venue an even bigger venue. Oh my god you are Trump you are Trump you're that you're Dana White you're Trump yeah that's what the world needs sorry folks hate to bust your balls straight white heterosexual older gentleman anyways that's unbelievable so you where you take them? We're bringing a massive event usually the cage wars facility I said when somebody hits you got him back harder right president Trump did the

same thing it's what I'm a counter puncher and now you know like the president so I understood what he was doing when he did that I'm a boxer too I got a number of professional flights in Mexico City and I'm a counter puncher in boxing I'm a counter I know I've read that I don't like guys like you smarter than me you can kick my ass I don't like the shit I don't like guys like you smarter than me. You can kick my ass. I don't like this shit We don't know about that. You look like you could When I was your age not even your Christo, you know, I'll be in my late hundreds next week, but um, yeah I just love what you're about already. I'm talking about five minutes and I just love Your like I said your hands-on guy and that's exactly, by the way, what DC isn't.

It's filled with the people who live in theory. They talk for a living. Greg Gutfeld, I punch up some of his monologues. He has a great monologue on his show tonight about the, you know, the FIAs in LA and the DEI hires and they live, like he said, they live, these DEI people live in theory and all they do is, and the rest of their brain is atrophied. So when something happens like an emergency, they have no life skills. They've marinated themselves in that goddamn DEI stuff, which is a cancer to us. And guys, I don't care if, I always say this, they talk about, you know, I said like NFL coaches,

I go, if the top 100 football coaches happen to be all Japanese or black, that's what I want to see on the sideline. It has to do with merit. That's how this country became great. And you're a good example, just starting that, how long did it take before it took off? Pretty quickly, you say?

We took off day one. So we had a conversation and we built it in three months. We got it started in three months. Believe it or not, we went to our lawyer a week later and it was a fun conversation. He was in his 80s at the time. We walked in. My friend, he was in his 80s at the time. He said, Dick, me and Anthony are here. We need your help to build an internet company. And Dick said, his name was Dick Cohn, great lawyer, and he said, the Internet, my grandkids tell me it's phenomenal, I'd love to help you with it. And so, we got a week later and then we went and hired software developers and we hired these guys, we called them, they actually have a phone number we called, we want your help to build an Internet company. And they

said, that's wonderful, what are you looking to sell? We said, we're not sure yet. And the guy said, what's your budget? And my, my friend interjected and tell you it's older. Right. And he said, because he spoke like this, he said, listen, we, we, uh, we've never done anything on the internet before. We were hoping you could advise us as to cost expectations. And, uh, the developer responded, I don't mean to be rude, but the internet's hot right now. I got a lot of weirdos calling me and you guys

sound like a bunch of weirdos that can work with you. But the internet's hot right now. I got a lot of weirdos calling me and you guys sound like a bunch of weirdos I can work with you We're later be playing, you know, Kamala's term for Trump supporters, which didn't go over so well for her But uh, you know, I like different types of people I guess I'm you know But anyway, so he said that and my co-founder looked at me give me a nod and I said well We got a hundred thousand we could spend and the guy said Okay, I'm free next week. Yeah, you're not so now. Yeah not so weird and I'll give this person a lot of

credit I said a hundred thousand dollars and I guess he liked us so much he built it for fifty grand so I offered him a hundred and he only took fifty and that's pretty impressive most people wouldn't do that. Most people you say you got a hundred thousand they take try to get three hundred so especially in a political world now that I'm in this political world you talk to people and they try to get as much money As they can from you very quickly. Well, you gotta you gotta have a guy named Cohen represent you get that. Yeah Roger and Trump had a Roy Cohn and yes

Cone They were related but they both were very effective. effective and he waited that we do go to school to a school called our behind also to all the academy with congresswoman stephanie ironically and uh... i thought we were very little person i'm so loyal that uh... i think five or six of our mutual high school friends work for me uh... most people are loyal and i heard their college friends like always back to high school i don't have anyone from middle school to my knowledge working for me, but I do have a number of high school friends

My rents a layer poly Institute or something like that, right? Our PI actually are probably taking against it to yes, that's right. Yeah. So what were you an engine you an engineer? I was a second-class citizen because I study economics there and you know, the engineers are top of the totem pole at RPI But it was great experience me. I got you know people that have never been there it's a unique experience. Some of the smartest people in the world attend that school. I learned people at RPI they do math classes you know that's their for by trade and then they study other things like history and philosophy in their spare time. So it's a strange place. What a hobby. 80 or 90% males, so there's no, so, you know, and most colleges guys compete on the basis

of courting women in an RBI. They compete on the basis of who is able to do more advanced mathematics. And so it's a very high pressure environment. Oh yeah, and good hockey. Makes you become intelligent, you know, it makes you level up your intellect very quickly. So yeah, I spent a number of, you know, it makes you level up your intellect very quickly.

So, yeah, I spent a number of, you know, four years there, mostly in the library and, you know, reading whatever because I felt, you know, whatever. See what happens, you put the time and you apply yourself. I applied myself to Fat Girls and Beer up at the University of Maine. Got a nice 2.4 in marketing. Marketing by the way, which you're a genius at, marketing. That was my major. It's the thing, I'm not saying this kiddingly, well I tell jokes for a living. It's the thing I know least about on the, I swear my mother, I'm not saying that.

My brothers like you, great business mind, retired early. I just, it blows my mind. I have a brother-in-law, Anthony, who went to Cornell and engineer mechanical engineering, went to work for Honeywell, and he got bored with that after like three years. So he goes, I go to Wharton Business School, graduates first in his class at Wharton, and goes on to work for Exxon. He made it look so easy, and his dad got literally nominated for a Nobel Prize for splitting atoms. Folks, go to nicktip.com and click on the toy button to see me
