Wicked Radio 10-14: Incredible Space X, 3rd Trump Shooter Or Not?, and It'll Always Be Columbus Day · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:05
Speaker 1: First and foremost. If nobody's wished you a happy Columbus
0:07
Speaker 1: Day yet, let me be the first to wish you
0:09
Speaker 1: a happy Columbus Day. And that's right on this show,
0:14
Speaker 1: on this live stream. It's Columbus Day. More in that
0:17
Speaker 1: in a minute. Welcome to it, everybody. We also have
0:19
Speaker 1: an incredible SpaceX achievement to talk about over the weekend.
0:22
Speaker 1: With all the stuff going on in the world and
0:24
Speaker 1: all the contentious stuff and all this supposed divide and
0:27
Speaker 1: all this other crab, something incredible happened from SpaceX under
0:31
Speaker 1: the direction of Elon Musk over the weekend. Big story
0:34
Speaker 1: over the weekend, obviously, though, was do we have a
0:36
Speaker 1: third attempted assassination attempt on President Trump's life? Or do
0:41
Speaker 1: we can't blame the Sheriff's office on this, but the
0:45
Speaker 1: guy says he's a Trump supporter. Try to dig into
0:48
Speaker 1: that a little bit. I have a lot of questions
0:49
Speaker 1: on that. I'm sure you do too. And how do
0:52
Speaker 1: the people who didn't want Jadvance to be the vice
0:54
Speaker 1: presidential pick feel today after some of the interviews and
0:58
Speaker 1: the absolute cooling he's delivered to a lot of these
1:03
Speaker 1: media hacks, how do they feel about this, We've got
1:06
Speaker 1: a lot to cover. Hope you had an awesome weekend.
1:08
Speaker 1: By the way, it's Monday, October fourteenth. Like I said,
1:10
Speaker 1: Columbus Day. More on that in a minute. This was
1:13
Speaker 1: one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, and
1:16
Speaker 1: I don't think you even have to be a space
1:17
Speaker 1: geek to be into this kind of stuff. So from
1:19
Speaker 1: Boka Chika, Texas or star Base or whatever he calls
1:22
Speaker 1: it now Elon Musk and SpaceX, the team launched Starship
1:28
Speaker 1: as they've done before, on the super heavy Booster rocket
1:33
Speaker 1: on that town is pretty incredible. What they've been able
1:35
Speaker 1: to do right, reusable rockets, reusable ship. We know that much.
1:39
Speaker 1: That wasn't the most incredible part of the whole thing.
1:43
Speaker 1: They returned the Booster rocket, but it was caught by
1:48
Speaker 1: what they call the chopsticks on the landing pad of
1:51
Speaker 1: the launch mechanism. It was absolutely incredible, and there look
1:56
Speaker 1: to be several thousand people on the ground watching this happen,
1:58
Speaker 1: but also in the booth as well. This was just
2:00
Speaker 1: an a monumental achievement of what can be done successfully.
2:11
Speaker 1: He's super happy you, sir.
2:13
Speaker 2: To launch.
2:18
Speaker 1: Those are those people?
2:21
Speaker 3: Youkidding me?
2:23
Speaker 1: By the way, this was their first attempt at trying
2:27
Speaker 1: to do this. Now you've probably seen the videos. We've
2:29
Speaker 1: talked about it a lot too, where the you know,
2:31
Speaker 1: the booster rockets will land on the floating platform in
2:33
Speaker 1: the sea. This one came back to a pinpoint perfect
2:37
Speaker 1: spot where it was grabbed right from where it launched
2:40
Speaker 1: off from. Oh and by the way, the starship itself,
2:43
Speaker 1: the thing it launched into orbit, landed safely by design,
2:47
Speaker 1: splashed down in the Indian Ocean. It's just it's absolutely incredible.
2:52
Speaker 1: It was three years ago he did an interview about
2:55
Speaker 1: this where most most of the world, most of us
2:57
Speaker 1: normal people, heard about Elon talking about this. But back
3:00
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven was the first time he ever announced
3:02
Speaker 1: it publicly to anybody, and this was to the National
3:05
Speaker 1: Press Club. It was only twenty eleven he said this,
3:08
Speaker 1: and there were literally people in the room looking at
3:10
Speaker 1: him like he was insane. I mean, he might have
3:13
Speaker 1: thought himself he was insane. And I think SpaceX is
3:16
Speaker 1: going to try to do it. Now. We could fail.
3:21
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we were certain of success here, but
3:24
Speaker 1: we're going to try to do it. How about that
3:26
Speaker 1: for a philosophy First of all, isn't that the takeaway
3:30
Speaker 1: might fail. But I think I have a pretty good idea,
3:33
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do it anyway, and we'll see what happens.
3:36
Speaker 1: And he had the means and the brains, and they
3:38
Speaker 1: had the vision to be able to do it, and
3:40
Speaker 1: the guts to be able to do it, and all
3:41
Speaker 1: of this, and yet all they've ever done is to
3:43
Speaker 1: try to stop the guy. So he's had trouble after
3:46
Speaker 1: trouble for like permitting and to try to get you know,
3:52
Speaker 1: the FAA to try to let him launch these things.
3:55
Speaker 1: I meant, look a look at the roadblocks they put
3:57
Speaker 1: in the guy's way. Remember Biden a couple of years
3:58
Speaker 1: ago had the big press conference of all the electro
4:02
Speaker 1: electric vehicle makers. You know, he had all ye had,
4:04
Speaker 1: He had GM there, and he had four there and
4:06
Speaker 1: all the plants, and yet didn't invite the company in
4:10
Speaker 1: Tesla that has led the way with electric vehicles, and
4:13
Speaker 1: yet they were pushing this thing. They've tried to stop
4:16
Speaker 1: this guy from the get go, even before he bought
4:19
Speaker 1: Twitter and turned it into X which we're on right now,
4:23
Speaker 1: and promoted in the name of humanity, because he thinks
4:26
Speaker 1: it's incredibly important for free speech. The guy has guts
4:31
Speaker 1: and he's got vision. Whether or not you like him personally,
4:34
Speaker 1: thank god, he's on the good side of humanity. You
4:36
Speaker 1: imagine if he was like a super villain, that would
4:38
Speaker 1: be horrifying. That would be the worst heel turn of
4:41
Speaker 1: all time if Elon turned out to be a bad
4:43
Speaker 1: guy and turned all of his guts and vision and
4:45
Speaker 1: technology against humanity. But he's not. And I think that's
4:49
Speaker 1: clear right now. He's not. Unbelievable, And what a thing,
4:52
Speaker 1: what a philosophy, and what a motivating concept that is.
4:57
Speaker 1: We may fail, it's a big risk, but we're going
5:00
Speaker 1: to try anyway, because even if we do fail, fall
5:02
Speaker 1: a little bit short of our goals, we'll still kind
5:04
Speaker 1: of wind up with something awesome. But he didn't fail there,
5:07
Speaker 1: as we was talking about with returning a super heavy rocket.
5:11
Speaker 1: Succeeded and the next step is going to Mars. Unbelievable.
5:15
Speaker 1: That's just incredible. All right, Let's get to the big
5:18
Speaker 1: story over the weekend. I wanted to get the good
5:20
Speaker 1: side of humidity out of the way first, but then well,
5:23
Speaker 1: Trump went to Coachella over the weekend California. That was awesome.
5:26
Speaker 1: That's not bad. That was incredible crowd of what's estimated
5:29
Speaker 1: to what like fifty thousand along with New York. That's
5:32
Speaker 1: another thing he wanted and a lot of us had
5:34
Speaker 1: clamored for a Trump rally in California. What better place
5:36
Speaker 1: to go to than Coachella. I mean, you know where
5:39
Speaker 1: they have the famous concerts, massive area, big crowd, successful speech.
5:45
Speaker 1: He loved it, you know he does. He does the
5:47
Speaker 1: Trump dance. I think he was more energized coming off
5:50
Speaker 1: the stage on that one than ever before. But of
5:52
Speaker 1: course the takeaway is who was arrested at this thing?
5:55
Speaker 1: A couple of rally goers obviously in a crowd of
5:57
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, that's just going to happen. But also this
6:00
Speaker 1: is where we met Verne Miller. Okay, now this guy
6:06
Speaker 1: arrested for having I guess he's forty nine years old,
6:09
Speaker 1: he's a Las Vegas resident. He's arrested for having, according
6:12
Speaker 1: to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, multiple passports and weapons
6:16
Speaker 1: in his car. He was released. Hears the first weird
6:19
Speaker 1: part on five thousand dollars bail. Uh really, just if
6:27
Speaker 1: he's that much of a five thousand that's it all right, Well, man,
6:32
Speaker 1: that's one thing. And then I got really weird throughout
6:34
Speaker 1: the afternoon yesterday where most of this news came out
6:37
Speaker 1: because vern as it turns out, at Corny, it's people
6:39
Speaker 1: who are very close to him, is a massive Trump supporter, supposedly.
6:44
Speaker 1: In fact, he had been to according to the New
6:47
Speaker 1: York Post, and we'll read from their story and they're
6:49
Speaker 1: reporting on it in just a second here and other
6:50
Speaker 1: outlets too for Trump rallies he's been to. I guess
6:54
Speaker 1: you'd have to include Coachella in one of those. He
6:56
Speaker 1: also went to the to the RNC, the Republican National
6:59
Speaker 1: Convention in Walkee this past summer. And he's a podcast guy.
7:05
Speaker 1: Interesting and uh, he thinks he said threats to his life,
7:09
Speaker 1: that's why he had the weapons. Anyway, he was at
7:11
Speaker 1: the RNC, and uh, this is what it sounded like
7:15
Speaker 1: when he was there behind me. Wonderful people, wonderful time.
7:22
Speaker 1: He's not happy that it's all cashless. You know, he's
7:24
Speaker 1: walking around, he's meeting people, he's taking meet and greets.
7:26
Speaker 1: Tried to talk to a couple of different people in
7:28
Speaker 1: that same video. In his clip that he took on
7:31
Speaker 1: his phone, he was there with Don Jr. Doctor Jordan Peterson,
7:36
Speaker 1: Vivek was there, newt Nowty nut Gingrich, RFK Junior, very
7:41
Speaker 1: very very close access because apparently he's got some friends.
7:44
Speaker 1: I think Mindy Robinson is a conservative voice, pretty pretty
7:49
Speaker 1: close friend of his. But then it gets really interesting
7:52
Speaker 1: because now he's speaking out no audio here, but he
7:55
Speaker 1: said he and he spoke to I guess Fox News
7:58
Speaker 1: Digital on this and I'm reading for The New York
8:00
Speaker 1: as we speak. Said he bought the firearms because of
8:03
Speaker 1: death threats since launching his own podcast where he talks
8:07
Speaker 1: about this kind of stuff and apparently does a lot
8:09
Speaker 1: of video. Says he's one hundred percent Trump supporter. Hmmm. Interesting.
8:14
Speaker 1: The quote is I always travel around with my firearms
8:17
Speaker 1: in the back of my truck, while at the same
8:20
Speaker 1: time insisting he'd never use them and has never used them.
8:25
Speaker 1: His quote is, I've literally never shot a gun in
8:29
Speaker 1: my life. I don't know anything about guns. I'm beyond
8:32
Speaker 1: a novice end quote. He also says he was found
8:35
Speaker 1: at the checkpoint with a cash cachet of fake passports.
8:38
Speaker 1: He says that's completely totally not true, which gets to
8:42
Speaker 1: a really interesting thing because the sheriff's department out there
8:44
Speaker 1: is saying something completely different. He says, it's a nonsensical statement.
8:49
Speaker 1: But sheriff's department, if they find a guy with allegedly
8:53
Speaker 1: a bunch of different passports and weapons in his trunk
8:57
Speaker 1: at a rally like that, the other side of this
9:00
Speaker 1: is and two things can be true, they have to
9:02
Speaker 1: do what they have to do. Five thousand dollars bail
9:06
Speaker 1: if this guy was the threat that they claim he is.
9:08
Speaker 1: And I don't know for sure. I just have a
9:09
Speaker 1: lot of questions, like you do. You don't release him
9:12
Speaker 1: on five thousand dollars bail because he's out and again
9:15
Speaker 1: making these statements which include this. There's another quote from
9:20
Speaker 1: him to Fox News Digital. They're saying, I'm part of
9:22
Speaker 1: these right wing anti government groups. Why aren't they naming
9:25
Speaker 1: these groups because it doesn't exist. You're rested on the
9:29
Speaker 1: gun charges, not the passport things. But that's why he
9:34
Speaker 1: was arrested. Well, I don't know this is I can't
9:38
Speaker 1: blame the Riverside County Sheriff's Department though, because like the
9:42
Speaker 1: guy said, there were fifty thousand people at this rally,
9:44
Speaker 1: nobody else had a trunkload of guns. Well, according to them,
9:48
Speaker 1: we'll see what it turns out to be, so they
9:49
Speaker 1: can't really blame them for doing their jobs. And just
9:53
Speaker 1: on the human level, if you don't want to get arrested,
9:58
Speaker 1: don't show up with a a bunch of guns in
10:00
Speaker 1: the trunk that, according to you, you weren't planning to
10:03
Speaker 1: use anyway. Just a very strange story all the way around.
10:06
Speaker 1: I think it's worth I mean, we can all ask
10:09
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory question too. Did they kind of like
10:11
Speaker 1: arrest this guy to make it look like all Trump
10:13
Speaker 1: supporters are crazy? Is that part of it? They've done
10:16
Speaker 1: that before? I don't know. I mean, they could have
10:19
Speaker 1: very interesting to see what happens with that, And I
10:21
Speaker 1: don't know what, if anything's going to happen with that.
10:24
Speaker 1: I'd like to see an interview with this guy though,
10:26
Speaker 1: I really would Verne Miller, I will say this, and
10:29
Speaker 1: a little close access to a lot of important people.
10:32
Speaker 1: Speaking of important people, where are the people? Where are they?
10:35
Speaker 1: Where's everybody? And there was a lot of pushback to
10:38
Speaker 1: make Jadvans, the VP pick where are you? Where is everybody?
10:41
Speaker 1: Is anybody saying that? Now? If you followed the meat
10:44
Speaker 1: and he's so good at this if you followed the
10:47
Speaker 1: media interviews he's done, and he has done a ton
10:50
Speaker 1: of them, all the stupid Sunday talk shows, he's gone
10:53
Speaker 1: on podcasts, he himself has done a bunch of rallies,
10:57
Speaker 1: and maybe the best of all at the debate. Of course,
11:02
Speaker 1: maybe the best job of all he's done happened this Sunday.
11:06
Speaker 1: You know, the ridiculous, horrific Sunday talk shows and the
11:09
Speaker 1: mainstream networks. You know they gotta meet the depressed, to
11:13
Speaker 1: face the nation, as Rush used to call it. Well,
11:15
Speaker 1: ABC News this week is their's with Martha Rattits. The
11:19
Speaker 1: story here, I think, is her question, her line of questioning,
11:22
Speaker 1: and how he handles it. He handles it like I
11:25
Speaker 1: think most of us would like to handle it, where
11:27
Speaker 1: he's just outraged at the question, but then just levels
11:30
Speaker 1: her with facts and what she was asking about. She
11:34
Speaker 1: tried to got you a question about the first of all, Aurora, Colorado.
11:39
Speaker 1: There was another Trump rally, by the way, the Aurora
11:41
Speaker 1: Colorado story and other communities as well where apartment complexes
11:45
Speaker 1: have been taken multiple have been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
11:50
Speaker 1: But she tried to turn this around and tried to
11:52
Speaker 1: paint it as a not really that big of a story. Well,
11:56
Speaker 1: it wasn't having it. And this is long, but you
11:59
Speaker 1: got to hear the complete question, and you have to
12:00
Speaker 1: hear a lot of his response.
12:02
Speaker 2: The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complex
12:08
Speaker 2: apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
12:12
Speaker 2: have acted on those concerns a handful of problems.
12:17
Speaker 3: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
12:20
Speaker 3: apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
12:24
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
12:27
Speaker 3: open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on,
12:31
Speaker 3: and they have every right to be. And I really
12:33
Speaker 3: find this exchange, Martha's sort of interesting because you seem
12:37
Speaker 3: to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump
12:41
Speaker 3: has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the
12:46
Speaker 3: United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.
12:49
Speaker 3: I worry so much more about that problem than anything
12:53
Speaker 3: else here. We've got to get American communities in a
12:56
Speaker 3: safe spacing.
12:57
Speaker 1: Do you ever have the same reaction I do whenever
12:59
Speaker 1: I when about like what the post production meeting is
13:03
Speaker 1: like for people like Martha rattits like, are they even
13:06
Speaker 1: I truly wonder this. Is she even aware that she
13:09
Speaker 1: got totally schooled there. I think they are. I think so.
13:12
Speaker 1: But the second part of this is I don't think
13:14
Speaker 1: they care because probably the producers and floor directors on
13:19
Speaker 1: that show are saying, good, good, good, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
13:21
Speaker 1: you got the question out, because what we're gonna do,
13:24
Speaker 1: We're gonna splice that up and we'll just get your
13:26
Speaker 1: question out there and get it out. He's actually trying
13:29
Speaker 1: to make the point that it's just a couple of instances.
13:34
Speaker 1: So what that Venezuela and gangs took over these apartment complex.
13:39
Speaker 1: So the mayor himself, who's a Democrat by the way,
13:44
Speaker 1: the mayor himself said that it's really no big deal,
13:46
Speaker 1: and he shot that down immediately and did it calmly
13:50
Speaker 1: with the facts, and he got to the main point
13:52
Speaker 1: where it shouldn't happen in any community whatsoever, none of them.
13:59
Speaker 1: But it'll be spun around and they'll, you know, make
14:02
Speaker 1: the point where yeah, it's okay, now that's okay. This
14:07
Speaker 1: is interesting though. So that's she pointed to the mayor
14:10
Speaker 1: of Aurora. Apparently there was just just a couple of incidents.
14:13
Speaker 1: So okay, okay, ready, Amazingly, there's something called CBZ Management.
14:19
Speaker 1: CBZ Management. They have an X account you know on
14:23
Speaker 1: x slash Twitter. I don't know why, no, what are they?
14:28
Speaker 1: An apartment management company in Aurora, Colorado, throughout Colorado and
14:32
Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah, you're thinking the right thing. They
14:36
Speaker 1: manage one of these apartment complexes that got taken over
14:39
Speaker 1: by the mist Willing gangs, and they actually made a
14:42
Speaker 1: statement about it. Okay, So this isn't the mayor of Aurora,
14:44
Speaker 1: Colorado covering up for them, covering up for the crime
14:47
Speaker 1: problem in his city, which is exactly what he's doing.
14:50
Speaker 1: This is the management company of one of the apartment complexes.
14:53
Speaker 1: Here's their statement. This is incredible, absolutely incredible. CBZ Management.
14:59
Speaker 1: Gangs have taken over for several of our properties in Aurora, Colorado.
15:03
Speaker 1: In an attempt to discredit this fact for political purposes
15:06
Speaker 1: and avoid governmental accountability, some have spread false information about
15:10
Speaker 1: our situation. Let's set the record straight. And then they
15:15
Speaker 1: didn't just write it. CBZ Management Company put together a
15:19
Speaker 1: loop of media outlets, just like Martha Radditt's on ABC
15:25
Speaker 1: trying to downplay this situation. This is the actual company
15:30
Speaker 1: that runs these apartment complexes. No one would know better
15:33
Speaker 1: than them that Venezuela and gangs have taken over several
15:37
Speaker 1: of them, according to them, Absolutely amazing, Thank god, you
15:42
Speaker 1: know what? And again I started this little segment off
15:45
Speaker 1: by saying, where are the people that didn't want jad
15:47
Speaker 1: Vance on this ticket? I don't get it. Are you
15:49
Speaker 1: still there? I don't get it at all? Thank god.
15:52
Speaker 1: I think he's even better at the media stuff than
15:55
Speaker 1: Trump thought he was. And it made me ask a
15:57
Speaker 1: serious question I've seen and I have heard other people ask
15:59
Speaker 1: it too, honest truly, how many people you think are
16:03
Speaker 1: voting for Trump because they're more excited about a jd.
16:06
Speaker 1: Vance presidency down the road? Honest to God? And I
16:09
Speaker 1: truly mean that. It's not the majority of Trump voters,
16:12
Speaker 1: But you can't tell me there's at least not a
16:14
Speaker 1: small portion of Trump supporters that are like, well, you know, okay, yeah,
16:19
Speaker 1: we need Trump right now, but if he gets in,
16:22
Speaker 1: if we get eight years after that of jd. Vance,
16:25
Speaker 1: like setting the record straight, A smart guy, a tough
16:29
Speaker 1: guy who's right from the Heartland. I'm thinking more and
16:33
Speaker 1: more about the appeal of jd Vance on this ticket
16:35
Speaker 1: because that was a that was a schooling, and he
16:38
Speaker 1: is on a streak of this stuff. He's not afraid
16:41
Speaker 1: of anybody. There's also in a New York Times interview
16:44
Speaker 1: over the weekend that they posted on there I think
16:46
Speaker 1: was actually one of their podcasts or something like this,
16:48
Speaker 1: where she just tried to tried to get him once
16:50
Speaker 1: again on election deniability. Will you accept the election result
16:55
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty stolen? And he's not having it. He won't,
16:58
Speaker 1: he won't fall for the trap, and he may make
17:00
Speaker 1: the point succinctly and directly every single time it's turned.
17:05
Speaker 1: Trump's best weapon is himself, obviously, because he's so good
17:10
Speaker 1: in front of people, you know, in the policy and
17:12
Speaker 1: he's tough. His second best weapon in this and going
17:16
Speaker 1: forward is turning out to be jad Vance. I don't
17:18
Speaker 1: know where you anti advanced people are or any left,
17:21
Speaker 1: because that guy is turning out to be absolutely incredible.
17:25
Speaker 1: All right, wow, Holy cow. Honestly I think he's surprising
17:29
Speaker 1: Trump up goodie is That's why they have him doing
17:32
Speaker 1: so much media. Trump does the rallies. Jd Vance does
17:35
Speaker 1: the media, and it's working out perfectly. Hey, by the way,
17:40
Speaker 1: a little side note as well, because you're seeing this
17:41
Speaker 1: more and more if you've paid attention to this, and
17:43
Speaker 1: I know, it gets overwhelming and you get sick of
17:45
Speaker 1: it and you're just trying to live a life like
17:47
Speaker 1: we all are. From last week on, you're seeing more
17:51
Speaker 1: and more of these media outlets. Martha Radditts did it too.
17:54
Speaker 1: New York Times did it too. They're starting to say, well,
18:00
Speaker 1: we'll see what we can't be sure of the election results.
18:04
Speaker 1: They're already coming out and they're saying, you know, Pennsylvania,
18:09
Speaker 1: you know, you know, possibly some other states may not
18:12
Speaker 1: even have their election results in. They're setting the stage.
18:15
Speaker 1: They're ready for a lot. They've seen those internal numbers
18:17
Speaker 1: are kama laugh, They've seen them, and they're setting the
18:19
Speaker 1: stage for their own election deniability. They're prime in it
18:23
Speaker 1: right now, and you're seeing it more and more. Watch
18:25
Speaker 1: how many times they say it this week in the
18:27
Speaker 1: news outlets. All right, let's get out of politics. Let's
18:30
Speaker 1: get out of the swamp into a swamp of a
18:32
Speaker 1: different kind. The swamp that was the United States of
18:35
Speaker 1: America before it was the United States of America. We
18:37
Speaker 1: set it in when we opened up the live stream today.
18:40
Speaker 1: Happy Columbus Day, everybody, and that's right. It's Columbus Day
18:44
Speaker 1: for one.
18:45
Speaker 2: For all.
18:46
Speaker 1: I know, it's a federal holiday, so in nineteen thirty
18:49
Speaker 1: four it was made a federal holiday, actually a national holiday,
18:52
Speaker 1: and then was called a federal holiday. So that means
18:54
Speaker 1: like for everybody, Schools are closed, post office closed, bags
18:57
Speaker 1: are closed, most of them, except for maybe some onlines.
19:00
Speaker 1: Non essential government offices are closed. That's most of them,
19:04
Speaker 1: by the way, as we learned, so you got the day.
19:08
Speaker 1: It's also a massive, massively important day for the Italian
19:11
Speaker 1: American community, which is what I'm getting to. If you
19:15
Speaker 1: grow up in an area like I did, just outside
19:17
Speaker 1: of Boston or Chicago or LA or New York especially,
19:22
Speaker 1: or some other big Midwestern cities, some big Southern cities
19:26
Speaker 1: as well, there are huge, huge Columbus Day parades going
19:30
Speaker 1: on today and those will never ever stop, and they'll
19:32
Speaker 1: never stop calling them Columbus Day. And I say, good,
19:35
Speaker 1: this is Columbus Day. I know the effort is underway
19:38
Speaker 1: to call it Indigenous People's Day, and I understand that.
19:41
Speaker 1: But what they don't understand is by doing that, you're
19:44
Speaker 1: taking a huge parts of Italian American heritage. People that
19:48
Speaker 1: built this country with their hands, part of the people
19:51
Speaker 1: that help do this thing, and you're taking that away
19:53
Speaker 1: from them. Why should you do this? I understand the argument,
19:57
Speaker 1: and I totally get that. Well, it's you know, the
20:00
Speaker 1: plunder and the disease he brought to the United States
20:03
Speaker 1: and he killed people and put them in chains. I
20:05
Speaker 1: understand that. I also understand this. It was how business
20:08
Speaker 1: was done back in the day. It doesn't make it right,
20:11
Speaker 1: but neither does this taking away a huge important part
20:15
Speaker 1: of Italian American heritage by taking down the statues and
20:19
Speaker 1: changing the name. They're not having it, and neither should you.
20:23
Speaker 1: This is still Columbus Day, and if you want an
20:25
Speaker 1: Indigenous People's Day, that could be something else. Always I
20:28
Speaker 1: will always call this Columbus Day because it's become something more.
20:32
Speaker 1: It's become something more than the man the explorer, has
20:36
Speaker 1: become something more than the crimes against humanity they call
20:38
Speaker 1: it back in the day, Columbus Columbus Day. What it
20:42
Speaker 1: means now is a huge part of contributions to this
20:46
Speaker 1: country's formation from Italian Americans. We should never ever take
20:51
Speaker 1: that away from them, and I never will. This will
20:53
Speaker 1: always be Columbus Day. Incredibly awesome, proud community in this country.
20:58
Speaker 1: Good for you, and happy Columbus Day the year. Or
21:01
Speaker 1: in the words of one America's one of America's finest
21:04
Speaker 1: Italian Americans, let's get an explanation of Columbus Day from
21:07
Speaker 1: one Tony soprano.
21:08
Speaker 3: Oh like it took uts to murder people and put
21:10
Speaker 3: him in chains. He was a victim of his time.
21:13
Speaker 1: Who cares.
21:13
Speaker 3: It's what he did.
21:14
Speaker 1: He discovered America's what he did.
21:16
Speaker 2: He was a brave Rettian explorer. And in this house,
21:18
Speaker 2: Christopher Columbus is a hero and a story.
21:21
Speaker 1: When did that air? Like two thousand and seven, two
21:23
Speaker 1: thousand and six. This argument's been going on forever. But
21:26
Speaker 1: it's Columbus Day. Happy Columbus Day. We're into the work week.
21:29
Speaker 1: We're into the week. Enjoy it. If you have the
21:32
