that there is the christopher columbus statue that was vandalized someone took an axe to christopher columbus is that there is now a red paint all over the statue. now this recent divide in this call for a quote day of rage on columbus day is just another example of how u.s. society is becoming increasingly polarized with the political right wing and the political left wing increasingly clashing now anti father group that was causing and was part of a lot of the protests that that seemed to happen in california and elsewhere is also the group that has called for demonstrations against columbus day here in the . ited states now the group notably took part in quite a few political clashes recently in berkeley california in response to right wing speakers speaking at the university of california berkeley campus here's just an example of some of the political violence we've seen in the us between the far left in the far right. but up. to. now so far here at columbus day on fifth avenue in manhattan there has been no real disruption and we haven't seen any protesters just a lot of american

this is all it got to worry about, taking down a statue of christopher columbus? it's people with too much time on their hands. this is a great symbol and you broke it down beautifully who columbus was, a great symbol for the italian-american community, columbus by today's standards would be like an astronaut. what he did was the equivalent of going to the moon. it was a flawed? we talked about this before on your show, of course it was blood. we are all flawed. were we to judge? he's the iconic symbol for italian-americans and we have had, would you have been so disrespected and we will not take it anymore. >> tucker: i thought tony soprano kind of summed this up as distinctly as anybody could on your show years ago when he said he's a hero, that's it, end of conversation. i thought that was kind of the state of play, how do we go from there to hear? >> i can't figure it out. what is the reason? if there was a solution, you are like i am on the radio show, you have to be solution-based, what is the end game? what is the solution? you want to take the statue down.

what this is about is recognizing the fact that indigenous people and christopher columbus are connectedn't talk about the history of indigenous people without talking about the history of columbus. this allows people to recognize the holiday as they see fit. i think it was a reasonable proposal the council took up. >> tucker: they eliminated christopher columbus from the holiday. how many indigenous people are there? how many main indian tribes can you name? >> there are a number. there are the wabanakee who are here before the settlers got here. there are a number of others up north. there are a number of native-americans in our community. you can name every single native-american on the streets? >> tucker: no, i can't. i agree with. that here's the point. there are a number of reservations in the state. i spent a lot of time near one. they are really hurting. what bothers me is the symbolic nature of this. presumably there are american-indians in portland that you could help and there are a lot of heroin addicts in portland. it's terrible. i why waste your time with symbolic stuff lik

[laughter] you know, the statue controversy, i thought it was misplaced. i don't think you can erase history, and i think there are so many other issues that are more pressing, and now we see how those things can be a sliply slope, because it's kind of nuts we're protecting a statue 24/7. >> yeah, that's something i can imagine new york city taxpayers are not thinked about paying more -- thrilled about paying for. the bottom line here is this is american history. we're not saying that it's a good thing necessarily, we're not saying that these figures were infallible. but i think the second that you start tearing down statues rat

you know, this has been going on for years, the protests over christopher columbus and the move to renamendigenous people's day. as we worked to columbus circle here in new york, the statue here of christopher columbus has been under 24/7 guard. there's some nypd officers. you can see some on the side. they set up the metal police barricades here. instead of a normal day, you have your lunch with the pigeons, you can't do that today because there's been a threat to the statue. in fact, a couple of them, one in central park, was hit with spray paint and whatnot. so today they're being extra cautious. i was on fifth avenue where the parade is taking place. there was extra scrutiny there after what we saw in las vegas on the new york city police department. people watching to see how they would secure an outdoor event. the nypd had their counter terrorism unit out in force. the police officers with the heavy armor and weapons. sharp shooters on the roofs. they were taking precaution that they could take. what the nypd has told us, they always do things like this. in this city, they're used t
