10
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:40.869
I don't know. But I'm here. Anthony Comia in for
11
00:00:40.909 --> 00:00:43.439
Roger Stone. The vacationing Roger Stone? I don't know. He's
12
00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:46.479
on assignment. I know they say that on the news stations.
13
00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:54.600
But glad to be here on Columbus Day. That's right.
14
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.649
I have spent all day today scrolling through social media.
15
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:04.540
watching videos, seeing all the politicians. They love it. It's
16
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.780
close to an election. They get out there, especially in
17
00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:12.599
New York City, the big Columbus Day parade down Fifth Avenue.
18
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.859
And they love it. They love shaking hands, waving the flag,
19
00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:21.939
the Italian flag. Unless you're a Democrat, unless you're a
20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:29.560
liberal Democrat, then you don't acknowledge that it is Columbus Day.
21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.859
You call it Indigenous Peoples Day. And not only do
22
00:01:36.189 --> 00:01:42.349
you ignore the Christopher Columbus aspect of Columbus Day, but
23
00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:49.299
you crap all over him. You demean Columbus. You talk
24
00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:52.799
about him like some kind of villain. And I've seen
25
00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:58.609
it so many times. So many posts, politicians, the usual
26
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.180
suspects out of Hollywood. Hard to even say the word
27
00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:09.939
without it getting stuck in your throat like lint. Hollywood. Yeah,
28
00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:17.009
all the usual suspects that want to destroy and talk
29
00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:24.849
down about and crap all over American history, culture. Traditions.
30
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:33.280
Being Italian, of course, I'm unbelievably proud of what Italians
31
00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:42.689
have brought to this country over the course of the years. Godfather, Casino, Goodfellas.
32
00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:46.849
All right, I'm teasing, of course. It is fun, though.
33
00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:58.080
But just amazing, amazing innovators. engineers, physicists for centuries. I've
34
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.580
been reading about Italian, not just Italians, a lot of
35
00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:08.909
European physicists. And they're talking about quantum physics, things that
36
00:03:09.370 --> 00:03:12.770
you can't see. This is a world so small that
37
00:03:12.789 --> 00:03:16.449
you can't even wrap your mind around it. And they
38
00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:19.069
were doing this in the 1700s. It's insane to think.
39
00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:26.189
that uh... they were able to figure out a lot
40
00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:29.090
things and and italians were part of that and of
41
00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:34.259
course you know talking about christopher columbus uh... discovering america
42
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.699
all my god i can hear him screaming now he
43
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:41.539
didn't discover anything it was already here and there were
44
00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:46.939
people here and yeah yeah things that are discovered are
45
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.800
already there somewhere they just haven't been found yet that's
46
00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:57.699
why Columbus sailed the ocean blue, as they say. He
47
00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:03.360
discovered the New World because they did not know it
48
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.439
was there. When he left Spain, the Europeans were curious
49
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.129
as to what was across that ocean, over that horizon.
50
00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:20.899
And what a dangerous trip. The bravery it took. You know,
51
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.699
you talk to people these days about it. They try
52
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.829
to equate it to what? A cruise? What are you on? Norwegian?
53
00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:33.410
Royal Caribbean? You got a beverage? You're down at the casino?
54
00:04:34.470 --> 00:04:40.930
And then you hear land ho. Now, these were unbelievably
55
00:04:41.129 --> 00:04:49.120
rickety boats on an ocean, an unforgiving ocean. three ships
56
00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.360
of course the nina pinto the santa maria and uh...
57
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.399
the the voyage itself was was deadly and for some
58
00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:01.980
reason a lot of liberals that i've i've read their
59
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.560
posts believe that once columbus and his crew some of
60
00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:13.180
them dead already uh... some infirmed wounded uh... they they're
61
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.579
just amazed to see land and uh... they they anchor
62
00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:23.579
they take their their skiffs out and row toward land
63
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:28.870
and then someone goes ah chris i saw some um
64
00:05:29.310 --> 00:05:33.470
they look like people saw some people over there and
65
00:05:33.589 --> 00:05:37.629
and they honestly believe at that point just getting off
66
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:43.250
their ships after a long arduous journey that columbus should
67
00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.439
have went Come on, guys, pack it up. Come on,
68
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.680
turn it around. Turn those boats around. There's people here.
69
00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:51.720
We're getting the hell out of here. We don't want
70
00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:56.100
to be looked at in history as terrible people who
71
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.079
took over a land and committed genocide. They have nothing
72
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.610
at that point. It's really a one-way trip until you
73
00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:11.569
can get the supplies where you are and return if
74
00:06:11.610 --> 00:06:16.920
that's in your plans. And the genocide aspect that Columbus
75
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.810
just got off the boat and starts massacring people is ludicrous.
76
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:31.209
It's insane. It's unfamiliar, treacherous territory. The indigenous people that
77
00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:34.769
were living there, I would say they have the advantage
78
00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:38.529
in that they know the lay of the land. How
79
00:06:38.550 --> 00:06:43.740
about animals? The landscape, animals that they've never seen before
80
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.060
just jump out of nowhere and rip your throat out.
81
00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:52.819
These were all of the trials and tribulations that Columbus
82
00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:57.279
and his men had to deal with. And there's this
83
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.519
misconception that he just got off the boat and started
84
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.620
swinging his sword at anything that came near him. He
85
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.649
did discover the new world. He was on the islands
86
00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:16.600
off the southeast coast of what would be Florida, Cuba,
87
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.800
of course, some of the other minor islands. Yeah. What
88
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:29.920
an amazing thing for people to do in the 1400s.
89
00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:33.649
That is insane. But, you know, people want to paint
90
00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:38.680
him as a criminal because... They call him a conqueror,
91
00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:46.800
a colonizer. He committed genocide. He was an explorer. There
92
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.620
were a few different people, groups of people that came
93
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.560
to this, what would be America. And of course, explorers
94
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.620
doing the exploration. What's over there? Let me see. Then
95
00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:06.370
there are your pioneers. They learn from the explorers that
96
00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:10.100
there's something there. They go there and try to maybe
97
00:08:10.189 --> 00:08:14.040
tame the land. Yeah, I like a little adventure. I
98
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.980
want to raise a family in a new world. So
99
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.680
the pioneers and settlers, they settle the land. And this
100
00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:26.819
was all happening over the course of a couple of
101
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.519
hundred years. since Columbus found the New World. And this
102
00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:38.950
was par for the course. This wasn't some unbelievably horrible
103
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.909
thing that was going on. People like to look at
104
00:08:45.289 --> 00:08:50.509
the past and past history with this insane 2026 glasses on.
105
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:02.500
thinking about what they find morally repugnant these days. And
106
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.399
years ago, back then, that was business as usual. People
107
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.289
went places. They explored. They founded places. Then there were
108
00:09:14.350 --> 00:09:18.610
pioneers and settlers. They settled it. And there were people
109
00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:26.029
there beforehand that did not like these new people coming there. Sometimes,
110
00:09:26.149 --> 00:09:29.149
a lot of times, they'd kill. Kill the nude people.
111
00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:33.230
New people. Nude. New people go to war with them.
112
00:09:33.809 --> 00:09:36.350
And more new people show up. They gather together in
113
00:09:36.389 --> 00:09:40.730
a militia or an army, and they fight to be there.
114
00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:51.580
These were conquerors. Conquering was a thing that happened constantly.
115
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.809
back then and again it wasn't looked at as some
116
00:09:55.870 --> 00:10:00.820
type of unethical immoral thing by the vast majority of
117
00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:05.419
people on earth most groups of people on this planet
118
00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:11.340
practiced conquering uh nowadays you know you don't see it
119
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.070
as much you don't see a good conquering these days
120
00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:20.320
but back then business as usual and uh if you
121
00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:25.500
look at it through today's eyes and today's views of, of, uh,
122
00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:29.490
like I said, ethics or morality, humanity, uh, it looks
123
00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:34.009
real bad. That's why it's not happening right now. And in,
124
00:10:34.169 --> 00:10:37.909
at the level it was happening, uh, back then people
125
00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:40.860
will argue Israel, Gaza, what are they doing? I'm not,
126
00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:43.240
I'm not going to get into that right now. I'm
127
00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:47.000
just saying on the level, uh, of, of back then,
128
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.340
it's just not happening like that. And, and, You know,
129
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.950
the United States, sure, we might snatch a Venezuelan president
130
00:10:54.429 --> 00:10:59.970
every so often, but we're really not doing what was
131
00:11:00.029 --> 00:11:03.909
done back then to that extent. And there's a lot
132
00:11:03.929 --> 00:11:07.360
of pushback now. I don't think there was back then.
133
00:11:07.409 --> 00:11:12.059
There was some. But that's the world that was. And
134
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.720
the initial exploration by Columbus to come over here and say, hey,
135
00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:21.529
there's a new world over there. and uh... that brought
136
00:11:21.669 --> 00:11:25.190
other people over to uh... what would end up being
137
00:11:25.250 --> 00:11:29.429
america it was uh... that's how things were done part
138
00:11:29.470 --> 00:11:34.009
of the course and if you enjoy this country its
139
00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:37.309
traditions how it has changed over the course of the
140
00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:40.820
years how we do treat people these days when we
141
00:11:40.909 --> 00:11:44.039
find them in some faraway land and they're weaker than
142
00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:46.179
us we don't just go in and cock them on
143
00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:51.000
the head takeover uh... And if you appreciate that, you
144
00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:56.570
have to appreciate what transpired to make that happen. And
145
00:11:56.690 --> 00:12:00.210
one of those things was Christopher Columbus coming over here
146
00:12:00.789 --> 00:12:03.570
as an explorer and saying, hey, wow, look at this,
147
00:12:03.830 --> 00:12:08.559
found someplace. Christopher Columbus is a hero in this house.
148
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:13.440
He's a hero and a story. So we'll talk a
149
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.960
lot more about that. I'll take your calls to 800-848-9222. 800-848-9222.
150
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.159
Want to talk about that? Of course, Ilhan Omar's FBI raid.
151
00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:25.960
I'm sure Roger Stone would be so upset about that
152
00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:29.039
if he were here. And a few other things. So
153
00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:32.779
stick around. Back in a moment. It's Anthony Cumia in
154
00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:37.620
for Roger Stone in the Stone Zone. And we're talking
155
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.559
about Columbus Day, of course. It's been dubbed Indigenous People's
156
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:47.370
Day by every liberal Democrat left wing because their job
157
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:52.129
It seems their mission in this country is to tear
158
00:12:52.190 --> 00:12:57.009
down and destroy every single institution we've ever had, everything
159
00:12:57.029 --> 00:13:03.990
we hold dear, every part of our cultures. And I
160
00:13:04.049 --> 00:13:09.389
say cultures because we do have diverse cultures, but our diversity,
161
00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.879
Europeans that have come here over the course of the years,
162
00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:17.740
especially early on from Italy and various other places on
163
00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:26.100
the continent, they contributed. There was a commonality. When they
164
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.139
came here, they were Americans. They wanted to be Americans.
165
00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:34.350
They wanted to use the talents that they brought, whatever
166
00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:38.750
it was, from their native country and make this country better.
167
00:13:39.529 --> 00:13:43.809
They didn't want to replicate where they came from, especially
168
00:13:43.870 --> 00:13:48.350
if they came from somewhere terrible. If you're escaping someplace
169
00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:52.789
that your life is in danger because of your religious
170
00:13:53.850 --> 00:13:57.649
ideology or what have you, you want to leave and
171
00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:01.460
come somewhere where you can practice those things and then
172
00:14:01.789 --> 00:14:04.820
appreciate the hell out of the new country you're in
173
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.059
for allowing you to do that. Well, what do we
174
00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:11.299
see these days? We see people coming here from other
175
00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:17.789
countries that do not give a crap about America, our traditions,
176
00:14:17.870 --> 00:14:25.029
our values, the common factors that make us Americans, the
177
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.639
things that make a new neighbor, a new neighbor moves
178
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:34.879
into your neighborhood, it makes it possible to invite them
179
00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:39.659
over for a backyard barbecue and start a conversation out
180
00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:44.139
of nowhere and you have things in common. You have
181
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:51.759
that same, you know, your family, kids, work, religion. You
182
00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:55.710
have a commonality there. Well, people coming here these days,
183
00:14:55.750 --> 00:15:00.549
especially illegals, but, you know, a lot of legal immigration
184
00:15:00.570 --> 00:15:02.230
that's been done over the course of the years is
185
00:15:02.269 --> 00:15:06.570
bringing in people that not only don't appreciate that in
186
00:15:06.610 --> 00:15:11.529
this country, they want it destroyed. They don't want it.
187
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:16.529
And the people that do want it and have cherished
188
00:15:16.590 --> 00:15:22.299
it for generations, be damned. Screw them. That's what we're
189
00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:29.159
looking at. So when I see someone like John Leguizamo. Yeah,
190
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:36.159
John Leguizamo. Again, one of these Hollywood usual suspects, imbeciles.
191
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:42.500
Here's what he posted today on X for people. columbus
192
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.120
day please let's get rid of columbus he was the
193
00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:51.919
hitler of the americas the hitler of the americas that's
194
00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:55.789
what this guy says he genocided all of the caribbean
195
00:15:56.350 --> 00:16:01.490
and tortured its people raped and prostituted children mutilated burned
196
00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:09.519
raised our people almost into extinction how How are we,
197
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:14.419
as Americans, as Italian Americans especially, supposed to look at
198
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:21.090
that and think, yeah, awesome, this guy's great. I'm with him,
199
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:26.350
Indigenous Peoples Day. This is someone trying to tear down
200
00:16:27.190 --> 00:16:31.769
our traditions and everything we hold dear. Him and his ilk,
201
00:16:32.789 --> 00:16:39.759
that hive of villainy and scum, Hollywood. Back in a
202
00:16:39.850 --> 00:17:08.069
moment with more. It's Anthony Accomia in for Roger Stone
203
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:13.329
here in the Stone Zone. I love that voice. Hey,
204
00:17:13.390 --> 00:17:16.019
New York City has found itself mired in the Trump
205
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:20.400
administration's immigration crackdown. You may have heard this. A gentleman,
206
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.079
Oscar Belgal, he was shot by ICE agents when he
207
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.390
attempted to drive his Honda CRV into agents in the
208
00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:34.089
city's Marble Hill neighborhood in the Bronx. during a targeted
209
00:17:34.289 --> 00:17:41.250
enforcement operation. They were looking for him specifically. He was
210
00:17:41.309 --> 00:17:46.319
approached and decided, I'm going to drive away. There's law enforcement.
211
00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:50.400
I know what they want. I'm going to drive away. Oh,
212
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.619
by the way, my five-year-old kid is in the car. Now,
213
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.500
what are the liberal, left-wing, Democrat, politician, what do they
214
00:17:57.579 --> 00:18:00.789
all come out and say? How could ICE do that
215
00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:05.660
when there was a five-year-old? In the car. Let's see
216
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.900
if they even knew there was a five-year-old in the car.
217
00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:11.000
They all wear body cams now, so we'll wait to
218
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.940
see that. But I'll tell you someone who did know
219
00:18:14.569 --> 00:18:18.609
there was a five-year-old in that car. His father, his
220
00:18:18.849 --> 00:18:24.309
criminal father, who decided to take his five-year-old son on
221
00:18:25.589 --> 00:18:31.150
a police pursuit. and along the way hit some vehicles
222
00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:34.230
and then tried to drive into the agents until they
223
00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:38.230
opened fire on him, striking him in the neck. He's wounded,
224
00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:46.279
wasn't killed. Let's look at this guy, shall we? Belgal
225
00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:50.509
was arrested for robbery. In 2023, he ultimately pleaded to
226
00:18:50.630 --> 00:18:54.579
fourth-degree grand larceny. By the way, that's how the crime
227
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.980
stats drop in New York. What did he do? Robbery? Yeah,
228
00:18:58.019 --> 00:19:02.430
let's just get it down to fourth-degree larceny. And then
229
00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:07.319
they go, hey, crime's dropping. Happens all the time. He
230
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.200
was arrested a year later, last year. He was also
231
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:13.609
arrested last year on drug charges. Pleb not guilty to that.
232
00:19:14.109 --> 00:19:18.009
By the way, New York said, we're not going to
233
00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:21.990
release him to ICE. Oh, we'll release him into the
234
00:19:22.049 --> 00:19:24.589
city where he could be a menace and a danger
235
00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:29.650
to all involved with him. But their policy, of course,
236
00:19:29.710 --> 00:19:34.529
is a sanctuary city is to not inform ICE that
237
00:19:34.569 --> 00:19:39.279
they have a felon behind bars that they are going
238
00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:45.990
to release into the wild. And this, all the politicians say,
239
00:19:46.069 --> 00:19:53.220
why they do this for your safety for your safety
240
00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:59.099
i mean can you even imagine the the set the
241
00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:03.269
set of swinging Things you have to have on you
242
00:20:03.950 --> 00:20:07.289
to try to make that sound like it's for your safety.
243
00:20:07.869 --> 00:20:11.619
Letting convicted felons back out on the street and not
244
00:20:11.670 --> 00:20:15.660
telling the agency that could throw them out. Throw them
245
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.019
out of the country for your safety. Whenever you hear
246
00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:23.460
your safety by these people, run for your life. All right, everyone,
247
00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:27.420
that's it for the Stone Zone. I'm Anthony Cumia. You
248
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.230
can catch me Sunday evenings right here on 77 WABC,
249
00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:35.369
8 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time. I hope you enjoy
250
00:20:35.410 --> 00:20:40.009
the rest of your Columbus day. Have a great evening, everybody.

10
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:40.869
I don't know. But I'm here. Anthony Comia in for
11
00:00:40.909 --> 00:00:43.439
Roger Stone. The vacationing Roger Stone? I don't know. He's
12
00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:46.479
on assignment. I know they say that on the news stations.
13
00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:54.600
But glad to be here on Columbus Day. That's right.
14
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.649
I have spent all day today scrolling through social media.
15
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:04.540
watching videos, seeing all the politicians. They love it. It's
16
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.780
close to an election. They get out there, especially in
17
00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:12.599
New York City, the big Columbus Day parade down Fifth Avenue.
18
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.859
And they love it. They love shaking hands, waving the flag,
19
00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:21.939
the Italian flag. Unless you're a Democrat, unless you're a
20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:29.560
liberal Democrat, then you don't acknowledge that it is Columbus Day.
21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.859
You call it Indigenous Peoples Day. And not only do
22
00:01:36.189 --> 00:01:42.349
you ignore the Christopher Columbus aspect of Columbus Day, but
23
00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:49.299
you crap all over him. You demean Columbus. You talk
24
00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:52.799
about him like some kind of villain. And I've seen
25
00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:58.609
it so many times. So many posts, politicians, the usual
26
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.180
suspects out of Hollywood. Hard to even say the word
27
00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:09.939
without it getting stuck in your throat like lint. Hollywood. Yeah,
28
00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:17.009
all the usual suspects that want to destroy and talk
29
00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:24.849
down about and crap all over American history, culture. Traditions.
30
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:33.280
Being Italian, of course, I'm unbelievably proud of what Italians
31
00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:42.689
have brought to this country over the course of the years. Godfather, Casino, Goodfellas.
32
00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:46.849
All right, I'm teasing, of course. It is fun, though.
33
00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:58.080
But just amazing, amazing innovators. engineers, physicists for centuries. I've
34
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.580
been reading about Italian, not just Italians, a lot of
35
00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:08.909
European physicists. And they're talking about quantum physics, things that
36
00:03:09.370 --> 00:03:12.770
you can't see. This is a world so small that
37
00:03:12.789 --> 00:03:16.449
you can't even wrap your mind around it. And they
38
00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:19.069
were doing this in the 1700s. It's insane to think.
39
00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:26.189
that uh... they were able to figure out a lot
40
00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:29.090
things and and italians were part of that and of
41
00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:34.259
course you know talking about christopher columbus uh... discovering america
42
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.699
all my god i can hear him screaming now he
43
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:41.539
didn't discover anything it was already here and there were
44
00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:46.939
people here and yeah yeah things that are discovered are
45
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.800
already there somewhere they just haven't been found yet that's
46
00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:57.699
why Columbus sailed the ocean blue, as they say. He
47
00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:03.360
discovered the New World because they did not know it
48
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.439
was there. When he left Spain, the Europeans were curious
49
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.129
as to what was across that ocean, over that horizon.
50
00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:20.899
And what a dangerous trip. The bravery it took. You know,
51
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.699
you talk to people these days about it. They try
52
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.829
to equate it to what? A cruise? What are you on? Norwegian?
53
00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:33.410
Royal Caribbean? You got a beverage? You're down at the casino?
54
00:04:34.470 --> 00:04:40.930
And then you hear land ho. Now, these were unbelievably
55
00:04:41.129 --> 00:04:49.120
rickety boats on an ocean, an unforgiving ocean. three ships
56
00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.360
of course the nina pinto the santa maria and uh...
57
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.399
the the voyage itself was was deadly and for some
58
00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:01.980
reason a lot of liberals that i've i've read their
59
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.560
posts believe that once columbus and his crew some of
60
00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:13.180
them dead already uh... some infirmed wounded uh... they they're
61
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.579
just amazed to see land and uh... they they anchor
62
00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:23.579
they take their their skiffs out and row toward land
63
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:28.870
and then someone goes ah chris i saw some um
64
00:05:29.310 --> 00:05:33.470
they look like people saw some people over there and
65
00:05:33.589 --> 00:05:37.629
and they honestly believe at that point just getting off
66
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:43.250
their ships after a long arduous journey that columbus should
67
00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.439
have went Come on, guys, pack it up. Come on,
68
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.680
turn it around. Turn those boats around. There's people here.
69
00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:51.720
We're getting the hell out of here. We don't want
70
00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:56.100
to be looked at in history as terrible people who
71
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.079
took over a land and committed genocide. They have nothing
72
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.610
at that point. It's really a one-way trip until you
73
00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:11.569
can get the supplies where you are and return if
74
00:06:11.610 --> 00:06:16.920
that's in your plans. And the genocide aspect that Columbus
75
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.810
just got off the boat and starts massacring people is ludicrous.
76
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:31.209
It's insane. It's unfamiliar, treacherous territory. The indigenous people that
77
00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:34.769
were living there, I would say they have the advantage
78
00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:38.529
in that they know the lay of the land. How
79
00:06:38.550 --> 00:06:43.740
about animals? The landscape, animals that they've never seen before
80
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.060
just jump out of nowhere and rip your throat out.
81
00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:52.819
These were all of the trials and tribulations that Columbus
82
00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:57.279
and his men had to deal with. And there's this
83
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.519
misconception that he just got off the boat and started
84
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.620
swinging his sword at anything that came near him. He
85
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.649
did discover the new world. He was on the islands
86
00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:16.600
off the southeast coast of what would be Florida, Cuba,
87
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.800
of course, some of the other minor islands. Yeah. What
88
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:29.920
an amazing thing for people to do in the 1400s.
89
00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:33.649
That is insane. But, you know, people want to paint
90
00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:38.680
him as a criminal because... They call him a conqueror,
91
00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:46.800
a colonizer. He committed genocide. He was an explorer. There
92
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.620
were a few different people, groups of people that came
93
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.560
to this, what would be America. And of course, explorers
94
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.620
doing the exploration. What's over there? Let me see. Then
95
00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:06.370
there are your pioneers. They learn from the explorers that
96
00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:10.100
there's something there. They go there and try to maybe
97
00:08:10.189 --> 00:08:14.040
tame the land. Yeah, I like a little adventure. I
98
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.980
want to raise a family in a new world. So
99
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.680
the pioneers and settlers, they settle the land. And this
100
00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:26.819
was all happening over the course of a couple of
101
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.519
hundred years. since Columbus found the New World. And this
102
00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:38.950
was par for the course. This wasn't some unbelievably horrible
103
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.909
thing that was going on. People like to look at
104
00:08:45.289 --> 00:08:50.509
the past and past history with this insane 2026 glasses on.
105
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:02.500
thinking about what they find morally repugnant these days. And
106
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.399
years ago, back then, that was business as usual. People
107
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.289
went places. They explored. They founded places. Then there were
108
00:09:14.350 --> 00:09:18.610
pioneers and settlers. They settled it. And there were people
109
00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:26.029
there beforehand that did not like these new people coming there. Sometimes,
110
00:09:26.149 --> 00:09:29.149
a lot of times, they'd kill. Kill the nude people.
111
00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:33.230
New people. Nude. New people go to war with them.
112
00:09:33.809 --> 00:09:36.350
And more new people show up. They gather together in
113
00:09:36.389 --> 00:09:40.730
a militia or an army, and they fight to be there.
114
00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:51.580
These were conquerors. Conquering was a thing that happened constantly.
115
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.809
back then and again it wasn't looked at as some
116
00:09:55.870 --> 00:10:00.820
type of unethical immoral thing by the vast majority of
117
00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:05.419
people on earth most groups of people on this planet
118
00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:11.340
practiced conquering uh nowadays you know you don't see it
119
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.070
as much you don't see a good conquering these days
120
00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:20.320
but back then business as usual and uh if you
121
00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:25.500
look at it through today's eyes and today's views of, of, uh,
122
00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:29.490
like I said, ethics or morality, humanity, uh, it looks
123
00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:34.009
real bad. That's why it's not happening right now. And in,
124
00:10:34.169 --> 00:10:37.909
at the level it was happening, uh, back then people
125
00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:40.860
will argue Israel, Gaza, what are they doing? I'm not,
126
00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:43.240
I'm not going to get into that right now. I'm
127
00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:47.000
just saying on the level, uh, of, of back then,
128
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.340
it's just not happening like that. And, and, You know,
129
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.950
the United States, sure, we might snatch a Venezuelan president
130
00:10:54.429 --> 00:10:59.970
every so often, but we're really not doing what was
131
00:11:00.029 --> 00:11:03.909
done back then to that extent. And there's a lot
132
00:11:03.929 --> 00:11:07.360
of pushback now. I don't think there was back then.
133
00:11:07.409 --> 00:11:12.059
There was some. But that's the world that was. And
134
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.720
the initial exploration by Columbus to come over here and say, hey,
135
00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:21.529
there's a new world over there. and uh... that brought
136
00:11:21.669 --> 00:11:25.190
other people over to uh... what would end up being
137
00:11:25.250 --> 00:11:29.429
america it was uh... that's how things were done part
138
00:11:29.470 --> 00:11:34.009
of the course and if you enjoy this country its
139
00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:37.309
traditions how it has changed over the course of the
140
00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:40.820
years how we do treat people these days when we
141
00:11:40.909 --> 00:11:44.039
find them in some faraway land and they're weaker than
142
00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:46.179
us we don't just go in and cock them on
143
00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:51.000
the head takeover uh... And if you appreciate that, you
144
00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:56.570
have to appreciate what transpired to make that happen. And
145
00:11:56.690 --> 00:12:00.210
one of those things was Christopher Columbus coming over here
146
00:12:00.789 --> 00:12:03.570
as an explorer and saying, hey, wow, look at this,
147
00:12:03.830 --> 00:12:08.559
found someplace. Christopher Columbus is a hero in this house.
148
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:13.440
He's a hero and a story. So we'll talk a
149
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.960
lot more about that. I'll take your calls to 800-848-9222. 800-848-9222.
150
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.159
Want to talk about that? Of course, Ilhan Omar's FBI raid.
151
00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:25.960
I'm sure Roger Stone would be so upset about that
152
00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:29.039
if he were here. And a few other things. So
153
00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:32.779
stick around. Back in a moment. It's Anthony Cumia in
154
00:12:32.940 --> 00:12:37.620
for Roger Stone in the Stone Zone. And we're talking
155
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.559
about Columbus Day, of course. It's been dubbed Indigenous People's
156
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:47.370
Day by every liberal Democrat left wing because their job
157
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:52.129
It seems their mission in this country is to tear
158
00:12:52.190 --> 00:12:57.009
down and destroy every single institution we've ever had, everything
159
00:12:57.029 --> 00:13:03.990
we hold dear, every part of our cultures. And I
160
00:13:04.049 --> 00:13:09.389
say cultures because we do have diverse cultures, but our diversity,
161
00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.879
Europeans that have come here over the course of the years,
162
00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:17.740
especially early on from Italy and various other places on
163
00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:26.100
the continent, they contributed. There was a commonality. When they
164
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.139
came here, they were Americans. They wanted to be Americans.
165
00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:34.350
They wanted to use the talents that they brought, whatever
166
00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:38.750
it was, from their native country and make this country better.
167
00:13:39.529 --> 00:13:43.809
They didn't want to replicate where they came from, especially
168
00:13:43.870 --> 00:13:48.350
if they came from somewhere terrible. If you're escaping someplace
169
00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:52.789
that your life is in danger because of your religious
170
00:13:53.850 --> 00:13:57.649
ideology or what have you, you want to leave and
171
00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:01.460
come somewhere where you can practice those things and then
172
00:14:01.789 --> 00:14:04.820
appreciate the hell out of the new country you're in
173
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.059
for allowing you to do that. Well, what do we
174
00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:11.299
see these days? We see people coming here from other
175
00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:17.789
countries that do not give a crap about America, our traditions,
176
00:14:17.870 --> 00:14:25.029
our values, the common factors that make us Americans, the
177
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.639
things that make a new neighbor, a new neighbor moves
178
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:34.879
into your neighborhood, it makes it possible to invite them
179
00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:39.659
over for a backyard barbecue and start a conversation out
180
00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:44.139
of nowhere and you have things in common. You have
181
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:51.759
that same, you know, your family, kids, work, religion. You
182
00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:55.710
have a commonality there. Well, people coming here these days,
183
00:14:55.750 --> 00:15:00.549
especially illegals, but, you know, a lot of legal immigration
184
00:15:00.570 --> 00:15:02.230
that's been done over the course of the years is
185
00:15:02.269 --> 00:15:06.570
bringing in people that not only don't appreciate that in
186
00:15:06.610 --> 00:15:11.529
this country, they want it destroyed. They don't want it.
187
00:15:12.389 --> 00:15:16.529
And the people that do want it and have cherished
188
00:15:16.590 --> 00:15:22.299
it for generations, be damned. Screw them. That's what we're
189
00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:29.159
looking at. So when I see someone like John Leguizamo. Yeah,
190
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:36.159
John Leguizamo. Again, one of these Hollywood usual suspects, imbeciles.
191
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:42.500
Here's what he posted today on X for people. columbus
192
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.120
day please let's get rid of columbus he was the
193
00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:51.919
hitler of the americas the hitler of the americas that's
194
00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:55.789
what this guy says he genocided all of the caribbean
195
00:15:56.350 --> 00:16:01.490
and tortured its people raped and prostituted children mutilated burned
196
00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:09.519
raised our people almost into extinction how How are we,
197
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:14.419
as Americans, as Italian Americans especially, supposed to look at
198
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:21.090
that and think, yeah, awesome, this guy's great. I'm with him,
199
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:26.350
Indigenous Peoples Day. This is someone trying to tear down
200
00:16:27.190 --> 00:16:31.769
our traditions and everything we hold dear. Him and his ilk,
201
00:16:32.789 --> 00:16:39.759
that hive of villainy and scum, Hollywood. Back in a
202
00:16:39.850 --> 00:17:08.069
moment with more. It's Anthony Accomia in for Roger Stone
203
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:13.329
here in the Stone Zone. I love that voice. Hey,
204
00:17:13.390 --> 00:17:16.019
New York City has found itself mired in the Trump
205
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:20.400
administration's immigration crackdown. You may have heard this. A gentleman,
206
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.079
Oscar Belgal, he was shot by ICE agents when he
207
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.390
attempted to drive his Honda CRV into agents in the
208
00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:34.089
city's Marble Hill neighborhood in the Bronx. during a targeted
209
00:17:34.289 --> 00:17:41.250
enforcement operation. They were looking for him specifically. He was
210
00:17:41.309 --> 00:17:46.319
approached and decided, I'm going to drive away. There's law enforcement.
211
00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:50.400
I know what they want. I'm going to drive away. Oh,
212
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.619
by the way, my five-year-old kid is in the car. Now,
213
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.500
what are the liberal, left-wing, Democrat, politician, what do they
214
00:17:57.579 --> 00:18:00.789
all come out and say? How could ICE do that
215
00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:05.660
when there was a five-year-old? In the car. Let's see
216
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.900
if they even knew there was a five-year-old in the car.
217
00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:11.000
They all wear body cams now, so we'll wait to
218
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.940
see that. But I'll tell you someone who did know
219
00:18:14.569 --> 00:18:18.609
there was a five-year-old in that car. His father, his
220
00:18:18.849 --> 00:18:24.309
criminal father, who decided to take his five-year-old son on
221
00:18:25.589 --> 00:18:31.150
a police pursuit. and along the way hit some vehicles
222
00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:34.230
and then tried to drive into the agents until they
223
00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:38.230
opened fire on him, striking him in the neck. He's wounded,
224
00:18:39.210 --> 00:18:46.279
wasn't killed. Let's look at this guy, shall we? Belgal
225
00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:50.509
was arrested for robbery. In 2023, he ultimately pleaded to
226
00:18:50.630 --> 00:18:54.579
fourth-degree grand larceny. By the way, that's how the crime
227
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.980
stats drop in New York. What did he do? Robbery? Yeah,
228
00:18:58.019 --> 00:19:02.430
let's just get it down to fourth-degree larceny. And then
229
00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:07.319
they go, hey, crime's dropping. Happens all the time. He
230
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.200
was arrested a year later, last year. He was also
231
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:13.609
arrested last year on drug charges. Pleb not guilty to that.
232
00:19:14.109 --> 00:19:18.009
By the way, New York said, we're not going to
233
00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:21.990
release him to ICE. Oh, we'll release him into the
234
00:19:22.049 --> 00:19:24.589
city where he could be a menace and a danger
235
00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:29.650
to all involved with him. But their policy, of course,
236
00:19:29.710 --> 00:19:34.529
is a sanctuary city is to not inform ICE that
237
00:19:34.569 --> 00:19:39.279
they have a felon behind bars that they are going
238
00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:45.990
to release into the wild. And this, all the politicians say,
239
00:19:46.069 --> 00:19:53.220
why they do this for your safety for your safety
240
00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:59.099
i mean can you even imagine the the set the
241
00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:03.269
set of swinging Things you have to have on you
242
00:20:03.950 --> 00:20:07.289
to try to make that sound like it's for your safety.
243
00:20:07.869 --> 00:20:11.619
Letting convicted felons back out on the street and not

00:20:11.670 --> 00:20:15.660
telling the agency that could throw them out. Throw them
245
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.019
out of the country for your safety. Whenever you hear
246
00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:23.460
your safety by these people, run for your life. All right, everyone,
247
00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:27.420
that's it for the Stone Zone. I'm Anthony Cumia. You
248
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:31.230
can catch me Sunday evenings right here on 77 WABC,
249
00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:35.369
8 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time. I hope you enjoy
250
00:20:35.410 --> 00:20:40.009
the rest of your Columbus day. Have a great evening, everybody.
