Joe Piscopo didn’t come to Rob Schmitt Tonight to stage a polite conversation — he came armed with plain talk and muscle for the traditions that make this country strong, and he pushed back hard against the anti-Columbus Day crowd trying to erase history. Piscopo’s defense of Columbus Day is part cultural pushback and part stand for everyday Americans who tire of watching their heritage be shredded by the left.
Fans remember Piscopo first as a Saturday Night Live star, but his years on talk radio have turned him into a fierce protector of working-class values and ethnic pride, the kind of voice liberals love to dismiss. He’s not an academic rewriting history — he’s a son of Italian-American neighborhoods who sees an attack on Columbus Day as an attack on his community’s place in America.
On air and in public appearances Piscopo has made clear that this isn’t just about one explorer, it’s about respecting the sacrifices and achievements of generations of Italian-American families who built small businesses, served in uniform, and paid their taxes. He celebrated Columbus Day on his show and joined conservative outlets to condemn the modern campaign to replace it with politicized substitutes, a fight that has even reached the White House level with competing proclamations about the holiday.
Make no mistake: the push to cancel Columbus Day is emblematic of a broader left-wing project to erase inconvenient parts of our history and replace pride with shame. Patriots know the difference between honest historical debate and a scorched-earth cultural purge designed to make Americans forget who they are; Piscopo’s message was a reminder that real Americans won’t quietly let that happen.
If you love your family, your neighborhood, and the country that made your success possible, now is the time to stand up — not with sneering lectures but with steady conviction and common sense. Celebrate your heritage, defend your holidays, and refuse to let a noisy minority of activists dictate what the rest of us can honor in public life.
