Trump Resurrects Columbus

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Let me tell you something. When America opened the floodgates
and let all us Italians in, they needed us to
build their cities and did their subways and to make
them richer. The Cornogies and the Rockefellers, they need a
worker bees. And there we were. But some of us
didn't want to swarm around their hive and lose who
we were. We wanted to stay Italian and preserve the
things that meant something to us, honor and family and loyalty,

(00:22):
and some of us wanted a piece of the action.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
The Vinie Pan project. Trump's talking Columbus Day, bringing Columbus
Day back from the ashes. He loves fishing in all
of those you know, political correctness ponds. And there's said
a lot of people, a lot of interesting people following
suit too. Uh, particularly in Hollywood. You're seeing comedians like

(00:46):
Whitney Cummings. Uh. You see an actresses like Justine Bateman.
You're seeing some people got the very least view the
return of Trump as giving them the ability to be
back be like, you know, we were really big babies
and really stupid about a lot of things for a
long while now and that's over, he said, on truth

(01:06):
social I'm bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes. The
Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus's reputation and
all of the Italians I love him so much now.
According to CT Insider, they say the debate over whether
to celebrate whether Trump's declaration that only Columbus Day be

(01:27):
celebrated is followed in all communities, including Connecticut, remains to
be seen. When Hartford voted to move to Indigenous People's
Day twenty twenty one, city council member A. Josh Mitchtum
to the local news, our town history is one of
colonization and violence. I don't mean this to be anti Italian.

(01:52):
This is anti Columbus, and more importantly, it's a step
toward recognizing what went wrong, what was done badly, and
embracing a more humane way of treating one another. And
here's Rosa de Laura, and there they say us. Rep.
Rosa Deloro, third District Democrat, one of the highest ranking
Italian Americans in federal government, said she too. She actually

(02:17):
said something on the subject, according to CT Insider, said
she's committed to celebrating the valuable contributions Italian immigrants and
Italian Americans have made throughout history, went on say, having
grown up in Worcester Square, the heart of New Haven's
Italian American community. For me, Columbus Day has always will

(02:39):
be a day to celebrate the Italian American community. She
said this via email, ostensibly reasonly for this article, which
is interesting because she was nowhere to be found on.
That statue got plucked down, and Eleker lied about it
right to a bunch of people's bases. Because that happened,

(03:00):
they were gathered. He showed up. He told the cop,
I know the cop. He's not a cop anymore. He quit.
He said, go and tell those people no statues coming Downstay.
Cop went over and said, there's nothing to see here, folks.
They started leaving as the truck came pulling in, so
it all got dumped in his lap. I know the guy.
He's a great guy. He's like I had nah. I

(03:22):
literally believed the guy. I believe Dickabod. That's who's up
for reelection in the fall, if you want to keep
this in mind. As for Deloro, she was nowhere to
be found out. But she's being vocal now while the
dust is settling a little bit. She says, the communities
of Greater New Haven gather every year to celebrate our vibrant,
rich history. You know, you can't hop on a plane

(03:45):
to go and get Connecticut named the Pizza Capitol. New
Haven's the Pizza Capitol. Do all that stuff and shy
away right now. So I think she. I think Rosa
Delauo sees the cologe Umbus conversation resurvicing and goes, oh hard,

(04:05):
and today's today. I get the purple touched up and
I wear that faa mink stole, and he's got a
face and he's got sunglasses on and he's really cool.
What am I gonna do? But it's back. Trump says,
I'm bringing Columbus Day. Okay, I'm bringing it back from
the ashes. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
