Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / Wicked Radio 10-13: Hostages Released, The 'Schumer Shutdown', & Columbus Day Is Back!
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: A lot changed overnight in a great way, in many
- 0:06Speaker 1: significant ways as we were all sleeping, waking up getting
- 0:09Speaker 1: ready for Monday, New work week, Columbus Day. We'll talk
- 0:11Speaker 1: about that as well. And here in just a second,
- 0:14Speaker 1: it happened. Pea Steel, at least the most important part
- 0:17Speaker 1: of it has held hostage is freed, and so many
- 0:20Speaker 1: different things look so irrelevant right now. I mean, my
- 0:23Speaker 1: main takeaway, I can't stop thinking about this since I
- 0:25Speaker 1: got up this morning to do the live stream. You
- 0:27Speaker 1: looking at the coverage that we'll get into of, you know,
- 0:30Speaker 1: the hostages being freed, and Trump and Israel and speaking
- 0:33Speaker 1: to Israeli Parliament, and how ridiculous and insignificant and rotten
- 0:38Speaker 1: and petty does all the other stuff, all the politics,
- 0:41Speaker 1: all the gotcha politics, look today when you get to
- 0:44Speaker 1: the stuff that's really important, like this, for it's not
- 0:47Speaker 1: just their issue, it's our issue. It's a world issue.
- 0:49Speaker 1: It's world peace, a first step in the right direction,
- 0:52Speaker 1: as he said in his speech. Now you look back
- 0:54Speaker 1: and you look at the media outlets that have done
- 0:56Speaker 1: nothing but try to attack this guy. But they have,
- 1:00Speaker 1: but they're there now, like CNN covering it because it's
- 1:03Speaker 1: such a massive worldwide news story. How ridiculous do they look?
- 1:06Speaker 2: Now?
- 1:07Speaker 1: How ridiculous does this shutdown? Look now the Schumer shutdown.
- 1:10Speaker 1: As we'll get into here in a second, because now
- 1:13Speaker 1: it's being labeled as that. It just it puts everything
- 1:17Speaker 1: into perspective. But we'll get into it. And of course,
- 1:19Speaker 1: Columbus Day today or as President Trump said just the other.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Day, another words, we're calling it Columbus Day.
- 1:29Speaker 1: That's another thing that's changed. But let's get into it.
- 1:31Speaker 1: First of all, thanks for finding the live stream and
- 1:33Speaker 1: the podcast. Wicked Radio lives on as a replay as
- 1:36Speaker 1: well on YouTube and Facebook and right here on x
- 1:39Speaker 1: and the audio podcast as well. Just make sure you
- 1:41Speaker 1: download and subscribe is there no matter what platform you'll
- 1:44Speaker 1: like to go on. Let's get right to it. Breaking
- 1:46Speaker 1: news overnight. Yeah, I don't think it's hyperbole to call
- 1:49Speaker 1: it this.
- 1:49Speaker 4: It's history, breaking news out of the Middle East where
- 1:53Speaker 4: hopes and prayers are finally being answered. We just got
- 1:57Speaker 4: word Hamas has begun releasing the remaining forty eight Israeli
- 2:01Speaker 4: hostages more than two years after they were taken of
- 2:05Speaker 4: those about twenty are still believed to be alive. You're
- 2:08Speaker 4: looking at live pictures of Hostage Square. They're on the right.
- 2:14Speaker 4: That's in Tel Aviv where you can see thousand.
- 2:17Speaker 1: That's another wild thing. They actually called it hostage Square.
- 2:21Speaker 1: It's how important. Can you imagine? Can you imagine have
- 2:24Speaker 1: being right next door to that. That's how important this
- 2:26Speaker 1: was to these folks. But it happened for sure. You
- 2:28Speaker 1: might have seen the overhead shot of and I put
- 2:31Speaker 1: a still shot of it on my ex account, the
- 2:34Speaker 1: overhead shot of the Welka in Tel Aviv as Air
- 2:38Speaker 1: Force one was flying over. Thank you President Trump with
- 2:41Speaker 1: like his image right there on the beach, right, powerful,
- 2:44Speaker 1: powerful things that happens. First, good step and then I mean,
- 2:48Speaker 1: really he's been on a roll with his public speeches
- 2:50Speaker 1: and his official state speeches recently. If you caught any
- 2:54Speaker 1: of this from President Trump speaking to Israeli Parliament, this
- 2:57Speaker 1: was I gotta say, this was one of his best.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Here's the cherry picked version of it that I picked
- 3:03Speaker 1: out just a couple of minutes ago, which kind of
- 3:05Speaker 1: sets the scene for the entire thing. And it was
- 3:07Speaker 1: great too, because he showed up and they're introducing him,
- 3:10Speaker 1: and they caught him on a hop mic going nice place,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Nice place.
- 3:15Speaker 5: This is not only the end of a war. This
- 3:18Speaker 5: is the end of the age of terror and death
- 3:21Speaker 5: and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,
- 3:25Speaker 5: end of God. It's the start of a grand concord
- 3:30Speaker 5: and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of
- 3:34Speaker 5: what will soon be a truly magnificent region. I believe
- 3:38Speaker 5: that so strongly. This is the historic dawn of a
- 3:43Speaker 5: new Middle East.
- 3:45Speaker 1: In one way or another. And who knows, And we
- 3:47Speaker 1: can debate that for another day, but can't we just
- 3:49Speaker 1: take today and just celebrate something peace, peace in a region,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and hope that this long lasting peace deal goes well
- 3:55Speaker 1: into the future. I don't know what's gonna happen with gods,
- 3:57Speaker 1: who the hell knows. You know, it's gonna be a
- 3:59Speaker 1: land grab, is going to be Are we gonna have
- 4:01Speaker 1: Trump Tower Gaza there pretty soon? I don't know. But
- 4:04Speaker 1: leave that to another day where everybody can attack him
- 4:07Speaker 1: on that. But for where we are right now, it again,
- 4:10Speaker 1: you know, I can't get this out of my head.
- 4:13Speaker 1: A lot changed, all the rotten pettiness, all the other stuff,
- 4:16Speaker 1: all the think back now and do you know a
- 4:19Speaker 1: movie screen on one side and in a different movie
- 4:23Speaker 1: on the other the first one. Look at what's happening
- 4:25Speaker 1: right now, we're getting that, and he did do this.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I mean, that's factual. This doesn't happen despite them trying
- 4:31Speaker 1: to claim the new well, oh, it was Biden's plan
- 4:33Speaker 1: as well, this is what he was going to do. Sure, right,
- 4:36Speaker 1: does anybody believe that it's factual that he got this done?
- 4:39Speaker 1: I don't personally think they would have been taken and
- 4:42Speaker 1: this would have happened two years ago if he was
- 4:44Speaker 1: in office at the time. But now here we are,
- 4:47Speaker 1: and compare that to everything in our country. They tried
- 4:50Speaker 1: to get him on everything, all of it, the Russia
- 4:52Speaker 1: collusion hoax, all of the other hoaxes, all of the lawfare,
- 4:56Speaker 1: everything that came after him, you know, the Trump Tower thing,
- 5:00Speaker 1: the petty crimes. How ridiculous does all of that look
- 5:04Speaker 1: now in comparison to what's happening right now? But here
- 5:07Speaker 1: they are because it's such a massive, massive, worldwide story.
- 5:11Speaker 1: All of those same media networks that fostered all of this,
- 5:15Speaker 1: the gotcha Trump era, all of them right there now
- 5:18Speaker 1: covering it. What are they going to say? How ridiculous
- 5:21Speaker 1: do they look? Now? Here's a little snippet of that
- 5:23Speaker 1: here's CNN on the ground just of course, endless applause
- 5:27Speaker 1: for President Trump, endless applause for Trump. And when I
- 5:31Speaker 1: was there, I even people wearing Make America Great Again
- 5:34Speaker 1: hats in that crowd over at Hostage Square. And they
- 5:38Speaker 1: don't know how to handle that. That just breaks their brains.
- 5:40Speaker 1: They can't understand that at all. It's like, well, how
- 5:43Speaker 1: can they? And you know what they're doing now, because
- 5:45Speaker 1: you know how it works in the CNN newsroom and
- 5:47Speaker 1: it's the same thing for all the other networks. They're
- 5:49Speaker 1: spinning trying to figure out how to tap the brakes
- 5:52Speaker 1: on this and how to say how this can be
- 5:54Speaker 1: a bad thing, and how this doesn't work for the
- 5:56Speaker 1: rest of the world, and what is it. They tried now,
- 5:59Speaker 1: they tried over the weekend and I just mentioned it
- 6:00Speaker 1: in a minute ago when they came out and they said, well,
- 6:03Speaker 1: this was the actual Biden plan all along. Huh, what
- 6:06Speaker 1: the hell are you talking about? That, by the way,
- 6:08Speaker 1: was so ridiculous and got no traction. It lasted about
- 6:12Speaker 1: six hours and everyone just shot it down because nobody
- 6:15Speaker 1: believes it anymore. There's just something different with this too,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and you can you can feel it I can't put
- 6:22Speaker 1: a number to you. You know, there's nothing to really
- 6:24Speaker 1: there's no concrete evidence of this, some of these things
- 6:27Speaker 1: that happened and some of the things that are going
- 6:28Speaker 1: on at current events. It really is it's a feeling,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and there's just a feeling now where all of the
- 6:35Speaker 1: stuff they accused Trump of before it just looks so ridiculous.
- 6:38Speaker 1: And even the most ridiculous of the Trump deranged people,
- 6:42Speaker 1: actual TDS victims in your life, maybe they won't say
- 6:47Speaker 1: it to you today when you run into them later
- 6:49Speaker 1: on where you get back into work, whatever it is,
- 6:51Speaker 1: are your family members later on or throughout the holidays,
- 6:54Speaker 1: maybe they won't say it out loud. Deep down, even
- 6:56Speaker 1: the most Trump deranged people cannot deny that he got
- 6:59Speaker 1: this done. I mean, it's and that's different, that's a
- 7:01Speaker 1: that's a different era. It's a it's a different way
- 7:04Speaker 1: of looking at things. And it's not gonna bring them
- 7:07Speaker 1: out of this. It's not gonna bring them out of
- 7:09Speaker 1: their absolute pure hatred of what they believe. And those
- 7:11Speaker 1: are all the people that stick right by watching the
- 7:14Speaker 1: view and they stick right by MSNBC and CNN. They
- 7:17Speaker 1: believe hook line and sink or everything they tell them,
- 7:19Speaker 1: But something's not jiving with those folks when they see
- 7:22Speaker 1: this happening, they see him there and then what they've
- 7:25Speaker 1: been told. Is it going to fix them and cure them. No,
- 7:28Speaker 1: but they'll admit deep down inside, not out loud, but
- 7:31Speaker 1: they know for sure that he actually got this done.
- 7:34Speaker 1: They don't know exactly how to process that. But that's
- 7:37Speaker 1: not your worry. That's that's for FA's for them to
- 7:40Speaker 1: deal with, you know. But this is historic, and you
- 7:42Speaker 1: hope the actual long lasting piece deal isn't broken. Hostage
- 7:47Speaker 1: is being released is great, that's fantastic, but you hope
- 7:49Speaker 1: it actually is peace and it is hope for it
- 7:52Speaker 1: for a new era in that in that world they've
- 7:54Speaker 1: been fighting for three thousand years. I mean, can you
- 7:58Speaker 1: expect this thing to go comple depletely, completely smooth from
- 8:01Speaker 1: here to eternity? Probably not, But this is one hell
- 8:05Speaker 1: of a big first step, no doubt about it. But
- 8:08Speaker 1: it's funny because on Air Force One, they got a
- 8:10Speaker 1: bunch of good questions and I gotta tell you, one
- 8:12Speaker 1: of the best reporters, that's just a Fox thing. I mean,
- 8:15Speaker 1: I criticize Fox probably more than even the other networks
- 8:18Speaker 1: but one of the best reporters that actually gets Trump
- 8:21Speaker 1: to answer some of the questions that he has for
- 8:26Speaker 1: him most honestly is Peter Deucy Young Peter Deocey at
- 8:29Speaker 1: Fox News. He does a fantastic job. You have to
- 8:32Speaker 1: give him credit. And there's some I don't know, maybe
- 8:34Speaker 1: because he knows him. There's something about the questions he
- 8:36Speaker 1: asks Trump, some of them personal, that gets great reactions
- 8:42Speaker 1: out of Trump. And for somebody to like me, to
- 8:45Speaker 1: get reactions like that from President Trump, even go back
- 8:47Speaker 1: to radio days, or you get these honest reactions something
- 8:50Speaker 1: to feed off of. It's just fantastic. Peter Deucey is
- 8:53Speaker 1: on Air Force one as they're heading towards Israel and
- 8:55Speaker 1: he's asking him about what this means to him personally,
- 8:58Speaker 1: what does it mean whatever you know? And he asked,
- 9:00Speaker 1: that's them a question that Trump has posed before, but
- 9:02Speaker 1: Trump getting into Heaven? Does President Trump get into heaven
- 9:06Speaker 1: after this deal? And his response and I don't think
- 9:09Speaker 1: any other reporter honestly would have gotten this kind of
- 9:11Speaker 1: a response. This is what he said.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I'm being a little cute. I don't think there's anything
- 9:17Speaker 2: gonna get me in heaven. Okay, I really do think.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be
- 9:23Speaker 2: in heaven right now as we fly an Air Force one.
- 9:26Speaker 2: I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven.
- 9:29Speaker 2: But I've made life a lot better for a lot
- 9:30Speaker 2: of people. And you know, as an example, had had
- 9:33Speaker 2: the election of twenty twenty not been rigged, you would
- 9:36Speaker 2: have millions of people living just in Russia.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You rainel personally, like I just said a couple of
- 9:43Speaker 1: minutes ago, I think that's true. But that's a pretty
- 9:47Speaker 1: honest answer. If he's being, you know, completely transparent about
- 9:50Speaker 1: it towards Trump get into heaven. He doesn't seem to
- 9:53Speaker 1: think so. But it reminds us of the point of
- 9:55Speaker 1: why it's so important. I never thought, are you gonna
- 9:58Speaker 1: call President Trump the nicest guy in the world? Absolutely not.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Whoever said? And when did we ever decide that that's
- 10:06Speaker 1: what we want as president, especially in this era after
- 10:08Speaker 1: what we had just lived through. I didn't want a
- 10:12Speaker 1: nice guy. And you got to look at it as
- 10:14Speaker 1: you know where your vote went. You got to look
- 10:16Speaker 1: at it as if you voted for President Trump, you
- 10:18Speaker 1: voted for this guy. You hired him, right, and I
- 10:20Speaker 1: didn't hire him to be a nice guy. I hired
- 10:23Speaker 1: him to do things like this, look at the mess
- 10:26Speaker 1: with Hamas and put pressure on not only them. But
- 10:30Speaker 1: let's not forget about this. And if the history books
- 10:33Speaker 1: don't reflect this accurately, at least you'll remember that it
- 10:36Speaker 1: went down this way. He also, don't let him twist it.
- 10:39Speaker 1: He also put massive pressure on Israel to get this
- 10:42Speaker 1: peace deal done. That's a fact. That is probably put
- 10:47Speaker 1: more pressure on Israel than any other president in reachs
- 10:50Speaker 1: in history. That is fact, to get this done. And
- 10:53Speaker 1: it was a key element in getting this done. So
- 10:56Speaker 1: I don't know, none of us know. That's the great
- 10:59Speaker 1: mystery of life. What does it take to get into
- 11:01Speaker 1: heaven in the afterlife? I don't know, But I would
- 11:05Speaker 1: tend to bet that negotiating a peace deal and getting
- 11:07Speaker 1: hostages home, if this thing is kind of like calculated,
- 11:11Speaker 1: that's probably gonna help you in a long way. I
- 11:13Speaker 1: don't know. So does Trump go to heaven? I think
- 11:17Speaker 1: that it's amazing that he asked the question. I love that.
- 11:20Speaker 1: All right back home here, we'll get to Columbus day
- 11:22Speaker 1: here in just a quick second. But here's another thing
- 11:25Speaker 1: that's changed This is fascinating. This is why I talked
- 11:28Speaker 1: about this a lot a couple of weeks ago. This
- 11:30Speaker 1: is why the name calling and the framing and the
- 11:33Speaker 1: persuasion stuff that the great Scott Adams if you ever
- 11:36Speaker 1: watch coffee with Scott Adams, so this is what he
- 11:38Speaker 1: talks about all the time. Trump is the master persuader,
- 11:42Speaker 1: and I believe I don't think it was Mike Johnson.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I think it was President Trump himself who started calling
- 11:47Speaker 1: the government shutdown, the partial government shutdown, which we're going
- 11:50Speaker 1: through right now still, even though most of the government's
- 11:53Speaker 1: closed today because of the holiday. It is now called
- 11:56Speaker 1: by even normal people that you and I know, normal
- 11:59Speaker 1: folks just working every single day. It's now known as
- 12:02Speaker 1: what the Schumer shut down. That's brilliant. There are very
- 12:07Speaker 1: few people. There's another thing to change. There are very
- 12:09Speaker 1: few people walking around now that are not blaming the
- 12:12Speaker 1: Democrats for this because it was not to get into
- 12:16Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of it, but this was a
- 12:17Speaker 1: clean continuing resolution bill. It was the Democrats that, because
- 12:20Speaker 1: he needed the sixty votes, they're the ones that wanted
- 12:23Speaker 1: to muddy this up and eventually funding in a roundabout
- 12:26Speaker 1: kind of way, the healthcare funding for illegals. They're the
- 12:29Speaker 1: ones shutting it down by simply calling it and this
- 12:32Speaker 1: stuck immediately, the Schumer shut down. Guess who's to blame.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But there's Chucky Schumer who's trying to be more relevant there.
- 12:40Speaker 1: He is from the Senate. I guess Apparently I didn't
- 12:43Speaker 1: even know this. Apparently he does like a little video vlog,
- 12:47Speaker 1: or he might have a live stream or just does
- 12:50Speaker 1: his interviews from home as well on the weekends. I
- 12:52Speaker 1: don't know, But listen to how insane this is. To
- 12:56Speaker 1: look at where we are. This was just on Sunday.
- 12:59Speaker 1: This is Chuck Schumer from Schumer headquarters at home talking
- 13:06Speaker 1: to somebody about this, and he actually wants to take it.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Listen to the wording on this and where they want
- 13:10Speaker 1: to take it. He wants mass hysteria to shut down
- 13:14Speaker 1: the government even further so that they can vote for
- 13:16Speaker 1: this thing in This guy is a lunatic and dangerous
- 13:19Speaker 1: and if you ever wondered where the divisive language comes from,
- 13:22Speaker 1: it's from several people at the top like this.
- 13:25Speaker 6: It is just such a hallmark of tyrannical autocratic dictatorship
- 13:30Speaker 6: societies that they used the Prosecutorial Department as a political weapon.
- 13:38Speaker 6: It is a disgrace and every American, I don't care
- 13:40Speaker 6: if you're a Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, moderate people should
- 13:45Speaker 6: be forcefully rising up against this.
- 13:48Speaker 1: First of all, listen to the wording forcefully rising up
- 13:53Speaker 1: against it. Wasn't he one of the guys three weeks ago,
- 13:57Speaker 1: month ago saying we need to tone down the rhetoric
- 14:00Speaker 1: after the Charlie Kirk thing. Wasn't he one of them?
- 14:02Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm right about that forcefully keyword rising
- 14:07Speaker 1: up against it? And up against what is he talking about?
- 14:09Speaker 1: The Letitia James prosecution indictment, the Kombi indictment. No, no, no, no,
- 14:17Speaker 1: this came from him. This came from him and his
- 14:21Speaker 1: ilk And this is a correction to that says in
- 14:24Speaker 1: political revenge. The weaponization of the Department of Justice came
- 14:27Speaker 1: from them. That's been happening since the Obama administration. That's
- 14:31Speaker 1: what they did. They turned the FBI and the Department
- 14:34Speaker 1: of Justice against their political rivals. This is just rightfully
- 14:37Speaker 1: going after the crooks, is what this is. But no,
- 14:40Speaker 1: there's Chuckie Schumer, in whatever relevance he still has left,
- 14:43Speaker 1: saying Americans need to rise up against this. That's a lunatic.
- 14:48Speaker 1: But the good news is, like with calling it the
- 14:51Speaker 1: Schumer shutdown, less and less people are listening to him.
- 14:54Speaker 1: And again I go back to this main point today
- 14:57Speaker 1: because it's kind of a different kind of day. Hair
- 15:00Speaker 1: that just jerk in his home office doing that interview,
- 15:06Speaker 1: livestream pod, whatever it was saying that. Juxtapose that against
- 15:12Speaker 1: President Trump negotiating peace in the Middle East. What looks
- 15:15Speaker 1: irrelevant to you, because it's to me it's Schumer just ridiculous.
- 15:21Speaker 1: And there's less and less relevance put to that every
- 15:24Speaker 1: single day that this goes on. And they're gonna lose this,
- 15:26Speaker 1: by the way, and yes it is a shutdown. It's
- 15:27Speaker 1: affecting a lot of people's lives. It's affecting mine as well.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Some business things held up, absolutely, but they're gonna lose this,
- 15:34Speaker 1: and that's gonna backfire badly now. And that's why the
- 15:39Speaker 1: name calling and putting a tag on something like this works,
- 15:41Speaker 1: the Schumer shutdown. I bet you'll find somebody today. You'll
- 15:44Speaker 1: find somebody in your everyday life they will call it
- 15:46Speaker 1: that if they're into this kind of thing and they
- 15:48Speaker 1: know what's going on. That's why this works, all right,
- 15:52Speaker 1: But let's get to it. We've got a holiday today.
- 15:54Speaker 1: If you're not going to work, good for you. Columbus
- 15:57Speaker 1: Day is happening. What is open? What is closed? It
- 16:00Speaker 1: is a federal holiday since nineteen seventy one. Well, here's
- 16:05Speaker 1: what's going on. US postal service closed, most banks are closed.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Federal government offices non essential offices. It's a little bit
- 16:12Speaker 1: different now with the shutdown anyway. State and local government
- 16:15Speaker 1: offices are closed. Bond markets are closed for the holiday,
- 16:18Speaker 1: but the stock exchange works as normal for the most part.
- 16:23Speaker 1: So that's what's happening. But the difference in Columbus Day
- 16:26Speaker 1: this year is compared to last year, or the year before,
- 16:29Speaker 1: or the year before that, or when they started calling
- 16:32Speaker 1: it Indigenous People's Day, is exactly what happened on Friday.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Let's go back a little Actually, this is Thursday. I
- 16:39Speaker 1: played it for you on Friday. Let's go back a
- 16:40Speaker 1: little bit. Why is it different? Why are we calling
- 16:42Speaker 1: it Columbus this time?
- 16:45Speaker 3: It Columbus Day. That was the press that broke out
- 16:57Speaker 3: in the clause. I've never seen that happen. The press
- 17:04Speaker 3: actually broke out in applause, Good Columbus Day. We're back
- 17:09Speaker 3: Columbus Day. We're back Italians, and.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Honest to God, as many clips as we play that,
- 17:16Speaker 1: that's one of my all time favorites because of how
- 17:18Speaker 1: we wrapped it up. We're back Italians. That should have
- 17:22Speaker 1: been print That should have been printed up within two
- 17:25Speaker 1: hours after he said that last week, little literally in
- 17:28Speaker 1: New York, We're back Italians. We love Italians, and we
- 17:32Speaker 1: should because that was such a disrespectful thing to do
- 17:36Speaker 1: to all of a sudden assume the Columbus Day for
- 17:38Speaker 1: whatever political reasons, you're trying to change world history, you're
- 17:41Speaker 1: trying to erase Christopher Columbus's contributions to the world and
- 17:45Speaker 1: exploration at the time. To do that was such an amazing,
- 17:49Speaker 1: disrespectful tactical move against Italian Americans and Italians specifically. And
- 17:55Speaker 1: let me tell you why, because if you are from
- 17:57Speaker 1: an area or you're Italian American yourself, you know exactactly
- 18:00Speaker 1: how important Columbus Day is to those folks. Me growing up,
- 18:05Speaker 1: it was always a massively important holiday. Why take that
- 18:09Speaker 1: away and why disparage those great folks who have meant
- 18:11Speaker 1: and still mean so much to our country's history to
- 18:15Speaker 1: make it a gentler world, and to say that Christopher
- 18:18Speaker 1: Columbus should be erased from history. No, he should not.
- 18:21Speaker 1: You should teach kids to put it in perspective. And
- 18:23Speaker 1: that was the world at the time. If you're upset
- 18:26Speaker 1: about anything that happened in fourteen ninety two when he
- 18:29Speaker 1: sailed the Ocean blue, absolutely ridiculous. Let me tell you
- 18:33Speaker 1: what else this was amazing. Let's go to Italian Italians directly.
- 18:37Speaker 1: This lady is something else. The Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Maloney,
- 18:44Speaker 1: she is something else. She wrote something amazing over the weekend,
- 18:47Speaker 1: honoring Christopher Columbus. It's very long. I would never read
- 18:50Speaker 1: it to you, but I will just tell you this.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Part of that change we're talking about where things are
- 18:54Speaker 1: going back to quote unquote normal, comes from things like this,
- 18:58Speaker 1: where she said, today we celebrate the National Day of
- 19:00Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus, established in two thousand and four, but they
- 19:03Speaker 1: did in Italy to honor one of the greatest Italians
- 19:06Speaker 1: of whom Italy can be proud. And then she goes
- 19:08Speaker 1: into the voyage. His journey laid the foundations of that
- 19:13Speaker 1: in indissoluble bond that unites the two shores of the Atlantic,
- 19:17Speaker 1: Europe and America. That's an incredible writing, by the way,
- 19:20Speaker 1: she went on to say, today Columbus is remembered in
- 19:24Speaker 1: many nations around the world, starting with the United States.
- 19:27Speaker 1: The Great Genesee's Navigator is the original the bonds that
- 19:30Speaker 1: unite the Italian people with the American people. Interesting that
- 19:33Speaker 1: she made that connection there. Defending and celebrating Christopher Columbus
- 19:36Speaker 1: means defending and celebrating our deep identity at what makes
- 19:40Speaker 1: us in the world so loved, appreciated, and respected. One
- 19:44Speaker 1: of the greatest statements I have ever seen. Sure it's
- 19:46Speaker 1: just about Columbus State, but one of the greatest I've
- 19:48Speaker 1: ever seen from any leader anywhere. Georgia Maloney from Italy, fantastic,
- 19:54Speaker 1: appreciate and love your history. Was it always nice?
- 19:58Speaker 2: No?
- 19:58Speaker 1: But what the lunatics that wanted change history and erase
- 20:01Speaker 1: world figures and people that made tremendous impacts in history
- 20:05Speaker 1: always want to do is forget and put it in
- 20:08Speaker 1: perspective that the world was different at that time. And
- 20:11Speaker 1: to take him away from world history and to stop
- 20:13Speaker 1: teaching kids about Christopher Columbus is an incredibly disrespectful move
- 20:17Speaker 1: to Italian Americans and Italians all over the world don't
- 20:21Speaker 1: stand for it. Ever, It's Columbus Day again. Say it loud,
- 20:25Speaker 1: say it proud, and enjoy it. And I hope you
- 20:26Speaker 1: get the day off anyway, hopefully anyway, get some great
- 20:29Speaker 1: Italian food while you're at it. Thanks for finding me.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Remember this piece deal. Just watch as much as you
- 20:36Speaker 1: can of it. Take it in. It is an historic day.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Watch it. And now when you watch it, just keep
- 20:39Speaker 1: this one thing in mind. Compare that to the nonsense
- 20:43Speaker 1: we've been subjected to over the past ten years, the
- 20:47Speaker 1: petty law fair nonsense, yeah, including this stupid shutdown. Compare
- 20:52Speaker 1: that to a world event that actually does matter. It
- 20:56Speaker 1: makes you reth rethink things quite a bit and enjoy
- 20:59Speaker 1: your Columbus Day. And thanks for hanging out with me.
