1 00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 2 00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 3 00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:19,737 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. 4 00:00:20,697 --> 00:00:24,337 Speaker 2: Will in New Yorkers send Mom, Donnie the Kami back 5 00:00:24,897 --> 00:00:28,177 Speaker 2: to Mommy, Go home to mommy. 6 00:00:28,617 --> 00:00:32,777 Speaker 3: Go hug bye, Go home to mommy, Go home to Mommy. 7 00:00:32,857 --> 00:00:36,497 Speaker 2: It's a question that we all should be thinking about 8 00:00:36,577 --> 00:00:38,497 Speaker 2: right now because it has to do with the trajectory 9 00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:42,137 Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party going forward, and it tells us 10 00:00:42,217 --> 00:00:45,977 Speaker 2: a lot about what we can expect for the left 11 00:00:46,137 --> 00:00:49,937 Speaker 2: going into these midterms. New York City as a harbinger 12 00:00:49,977 --> 00:00:52,977 Speaker 2: of things to come, I think for the national left 13 00:00:53,097 --> 00:00:55,737 Speaker 2: in this country. But let's just start with this one. 14 00:00:56,297 --> 00:01:03,217 Speaker 2: The notion that the great capitalist shrine that is the 15 00:01:03,217 --> 00:01:07,497 Speaker 2: City of New York would have somebody who is straight 16 00:01:07,617 --> 00:01:11,297 Speaker 2: up in favor of socialism is just madness to me. 17 00:01:11,817 --> 00:01:15,217 Speaker 1: What the purpose is about this entire project. It's not 18 00:01:15,257 --> 00:01:18,097 Speaker 1: simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism, and 19 00:01:18,137 --> 00:01:20,297 Speaker 1: obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that. 20 00:01:20,577 --> 00:01:23,577 Speaker 1: But making sure that we have candidates that both understand 21 00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:27,017 Speaker 1: that and are willing to put that forward at every 22 00:01:27,057 --> 00:01:29,297 Speaker 1: which moment that they have at every which opportunity that 23 00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:32,817 Speaker 1: they are given. We have to continue to elect more 24 00:01:32,857 --> 00:01:37,857 Speaker 1: socialists and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic 25 00:01:37,937 --> 00:01:40,377 Speaker 1: about our socialism. There are also other issues that we 26 00:01:40,457 --> 00:01:44,417 Speaker 1: firmly believe in, whether it's BDS right or whether it's 27 00:01:44,457 --> 00:01:48,457 Speaker 1: the end goal of seizing the means of production, where 28 00:01:48,457 --> 00:01:51,417 Speaker 1: we do not have the same level of support at 29 00:01:51,417 --> 00:01:54,297 Speaker 1: this very moment. And what I want to say is 30 00:01:54,337 --> 00:01:58,297 Speaker 1: that it is critical the way that we organize, that 31 00:01:58,377 --> 00:02:02,617 Speaker 1: we set up our set up our work and our priorities, 32 00:02:02,857 --> 00:02:05,057 Speaker 1: that we do not leave any one issue for the other, 33 00:02:05,457 --> 00:02:09,217 Speaker 1: That we do not meet a moment and only look 34 00:02:09,257 --> 00:02:11,377 Speaker 1: at what people are reawenty four, but that we are 35 00:02:11,417 --> 00:02:13,857 Speaker 1: doing both of these things in tandem, because it is 36 00:02:13,937 --> 00:02:16,297 Speaker 1: critical for us to both meet people where they're at 37 00:02:16,577 --> 00:02:19,417 Speaker 1: and to also organize for what is correct and for 38 00:02:19,457 --> 00:02:22,457 Speaker 1: what is right, and to ensure that over time we 39 00:02:22,497 --> 00:02:26,417 Speaker 1: can bring people to that issue the ramifications of victory. 40 00:02:26,537 --> 00:02:30,297 Speaker 1: Here is the difference between life and death for so 41 00:02:30,377 --> 00:02:32,937 Speaker 1: many of our brothers, sisters and family beyond the binary 42 00:02:32,937 --> 00:02:34,217 Speaker 1: and across the Borough of Queens. 43 00:02:34,937 --> 00:02:38,017 Speaker 2: But this is where we are. This is the truth 44 00:02:38,137 --> 00:02:41,297 Speaker 2: of what we're seeing with this mom Donnie guy. He 45 00:02:41,817 --> 00:02:45,257 Speaker 2: is selling everybody on what you've seen fail in Chicago, 46 00:02:45,617 --> 00:02:48,857 Speaker 2: fail in San Francisco, fail in Los Angeles, fail in 47 00:02:48,977 --> 00:02:51,897 Speaker 2: every city that has tried it, and then more broadly, 48 00:02:51,977 --> 00:02:55,817 Speaker 2: every society that has tried it, which is, we're just 49 00:02:55,897 --> 00:02:58,297 Speaker 2: going to squeeze more and more and more out of 50 00:02:58,297 --> 00:03:00,817 Speaker 2: those who are productive and give it to those who 51 00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:05,577 Speaker 2: are dependent on this state. And in the case of 52 00:03:05,777 --> 00:03:07,777 Speaker 2: a state like New York, which New York City is 53 00:03:07,777 --> 00:03:13,257 Speaker 2: obviously in the flight, the city has been profound people 54 00:03:13,377 --> 00:03:15,377 Speaker 2: like me. I am one of them who has left 55 00:03:16,097 --> 00:03:21,057 Speaker 2: because I got sick of paying the outrageous taxes, and 56 00:03:21,937 --> 00:03:24,537 Speaker 2: mom Donni's out there saying, oh no, don't worry, they'll 57 00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:25,897 Speaker 2: make it better for everyone. 58 00:03:26,377 --> 00:03:29,377 Speaker 3: And the reason that I believe that we need to 59 00:03:29,657 --> 00:03:31,857 Speaker 3: increase taxes on the one percent of the most profitable 60 00:03:31,857 --> 00:03:34,657 Speaker 3: corporations is because of the fact that those are taxes 61 00:03:34,697 --> 00:03:36,777 Speaker 3: that would then pay for a better quality of life 62 00:03:37,057 --> 00:03:39,337 Speaker 3: for all, not only if the stick it's. 63 00:03:39,217 --> 00:03:41,577 Speaker 2: Not going to work, it's just not going to work. 64 00:03:42,417 --> 00:03:44,737 Speaker 2: And the idea that New York let me, let me 65 00:03:44,777 --> 00:03:47,377 Speaker 2: just tell you some things. New York City, since the 66 00:03:47,417 --> 00:03:50,457 Speaker 2: beginning of COVID, has had a thirty percent increase. I'm sorry. 67 00:03:50,777 --> 00:03:52,777 Speaker 2: New York State has had a thirty percent increase in 68 00:03:52,817 --> 00:03:55,497 Speaker 2: its overall budget New York State. New York City's about 69 00:03:55,497 --> 00:03:58,977 Speaker 2: half the state budget, so much money going in there. 70 00:03:58,977 --> 00:04:02,297 Speaker 2: New York spends a tremendous amount on public services and 71 00:04:02,337 --> 00:04:05,577 Speaker 2: does not deliver them well, tremendous amount on education, has 72 00:04:05,577 --> 00:04:09,857 Speaker 2: a failing public school system. Spend so much money on welfare, 73 00:04:10,057 --> 00:04:11,697 Speaker 2: different forms of welfare. I know they don't like to 74 00:04:11,697 --> 00:04:14,657 Speaker 2: call it that public assistance or whatever it is. It 75 00:04:14,737 --> 00:04:20,057 Speaker 2: doesn't improve things. It is just a giant black hole 76 00:04:20,537 --> 00:04:25,097 Speaker 2: that we shovel more and more taxpayer dollars into, and 77 00:04:25,137 --> 00:04:27,937 Speaker 2: there's no accountability for it, and it does not improve. 78 00:04:28,377 --> 00:04:32,217 Speaker 2: If it improved, then we would see that already happening. 79 00:04:32,297 --> 00:04:35,097 Speaker 2: It doesn't improve, In fact, it makes things worse. This 80 00:04:35,137 --> 00:04:39,497 Speaker 2: guy is wrong on everything, but Mamdami. The Kami isn't 81 00:04:39,537 --> 00:04:42,537 Speaker 2: appealing to people based upon economics. He's appealing to them 82 00:04:42,537 --> 00:04:46,977 Speaker 2: based on emotion. That's why socialism communism, and remember the 83 00:04:47,057 --> 00:04:51,257 Speaker 2: communists originally refer to themselves always as socialists. They play 84 00:04:51,297 --> 00:04:53,297 Speaker 2: a lot of these word games. Oh I'm not a communist, 85 00:04:53,337 --> 00:04:57,537 Speaker 2: I'm a democratic socialist. You believe, as a socialist that 86 00:04:57,617 --> 00:04:59,737 Speaker 2: the government should have the right to take from you 87 00:04:59,857 --> 00:05:04,537 Speaker 2: whatever it deems it it should in order to give 88 00:05:04,537 --> 00:05:08,257 Speaker 2: it to other people. And that includes control over the 89 00:05:08,297 --> 00:05:12,697 Speaker 2: means of production. That includes can control over the making 90 00:05:12,817 --> 00:05:15,857 Speaker 2: of stuff as well as the distribution of the stuff. 91 00:05:15,897 --> 00:05:20,057 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a real socialist right. And this just 92 00:05:20,097 --> 00:05:27,857 Speaker 2: always results in inefficiency, bureaucracy, and eventually misery. And people 93 00:05:27,857 --> 00:05:29,937 Speaker 2: will always say, oh, but what about Sweden, what about 94 00:05:29,937 --> 00:05:32,977 Speaker 2: these little countries, these northern European countries. First of all, 95 00:05:33,217 --> 00:05:35,577 Speaker 2: they haven't had to really worry about their national defense 96 00:05:35,897 --> 00:05:38,137 Speaker 2: for one hundred years because of America, or not one 97 00:05:38,217 --> 00:05:40,377 Speaker 2: hundred years, but you know, eighty years because of America. 98 00:05:40,457 --> 00:05:44,097 Speaker 2: So start with that. And beyond that, they were much 99 00:05:44,137 --> 00:05:47,817 Speaker 2: more socialist in the seventies, sixties and seventies as countries, 100 00:05:48,057 --> 00:05:50,737 Speaker 2: and then they actually embraced far more free market principles 101 00:05:50,737 --> 00:05:54,537 Speaker 2: because they realized that their economies were stagnant. It didn't work. 102 00:05:54,657 --> 00:05:59,697 Speaker 2: It doesn't work. People operate first and foremost based on 103 00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:04,497 Speaker 2: self interest, not the forced altruism of a state that 104 00:06:04,577 --> 00:06:07,217 Speaker 2: has the ability to put its boot on your neck 105 00:06:07,257 --> 00:06:11,457 Speaker 2: whenever it wants more from you. Okay, operate. Human nature 106 00:06:11,577 --> 00:06:13,777 Speaker 2: is such that you will do more if you will 107 00:06:13,817 --> 00:06:17,537 Speaker 2: get more. But you do not do more because you 108 00:06:17,657 --> 00:06:20,977 Speaker 2: think that it's going to go to people you've never met, 109 00:06:20,977 --> 00:06:22,577 Speaker 2: and you don't know what they're even getting, and you 110 00:06:22,577 --> 00:06:25,657 Speaker 2: don't think it's going to change anything for them. If 111 00:06:25,697 --> 00:06:28,257 Speaker 2: it was so good, why is it that New York 112 00:06:28,977 --> 00:06:31,337 Speaker 2: is losing all these people? And also it's spending more 113 00:06:31,377 --> 00:06:35,537 Speaker 2: money than ever before, and yet it is deteriorating in 114 00:06:35,577 --> 00:06:37,657 Speaker 2: New York City, specifically, its deteriorating as a city all 115 00:06:37,697 --> 00:06:41,297 Speaker 2: the time. There's plenty of reasons to look at moving 116 00:06:41,537 --> 00:06:43,217 Speaker 2: from the city of New York to other places. And 117 00:06:44,297 --> 00:06:46,697 Speaker 2: I'm somebody who made the choice to do it, and 118 00:06:46,737 --> 00:06:48,097 Speaker 2: I used to. I love New York so much. I 119 00:06:48,137 --> 00:06:49,537 Speaker 2: thought it was the greatest city in the world growing 120 00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:51,497 Speaker 2: up in I feel very lucky that I grew up 121 00:06:51,497 --> 00:06:54,097 Speaker 2: in New York. I have so many incredible memories of it. 122 00:06:54,137 --> 00:06:57,417 Speaker 2: And yet here we are looking to see that the 123 00:06:57,497 --> 00:07:01,217 Speaker 2: voters in that city are completely out of their minds, 124 00:07:01,457 --> 00:07:03,377 Speaker 2: at least the ones that voted for this man. Doni guy. 125 00:07:03,777 --> 00:07:05,897 Speaker 2: He's terrible on crime, he's terrible in the economy. But 126 00:07:06,377 --> 00:07:09,977 Speaker 2: socialism is a religion. Socialism is not really an economic system. 127 00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:16,017 Speaker 2: It is a series of emotional manipulations. Oh, it's not yours. 128 00:07:16,057 --> 00:07:19,497 Speaker 2: Never anyone's fault that they don't have more. It's never 129 00:07:19,577 --> 00:07:22,257 Speaker 2: I could have made different choices. It's somebody else kept 130 00:07:22,257 --> 00:07:25,537 Speaker 2: me down, somebody else prevented me. Now, in some countries, 131 00:07:25,577 --> 00:07:28,897 Speaker 2: that may be somewhat somewhat accurate. In America, it's the 132 00:07:28,977 --> 00:07:32,497 Speaker 2: least accurate it's ever been in any country anywhere. Okay, 133 00:07:32,537 --> 00:07:37,057 Speaker 2: we have more upward mobility and more opportunity and more 134 00:07:37,337 --> 00:07:40,977 Speaker 2: general luxury for all Americans here than any other country 135 00:07:41,377 --> 00:07:45,257 Speaker 2: of anywhere near our size, certainly in the world. And 136 00:07:45,457 --> 00:07:49,497 Speaker 2: that's that's something that these socialists, these comedies just completely abandoned. 137 00:07:49,617 --> 00:07:52,977 Speaker 2: Our sponsor here is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 138 00:07:53,217 --> 00:07:56,177 Speaker 2: You know, Iran has still vowed to wipe out Israel, 139 00:07:56,177 --> 00:07:58,977 Speaker 2: though there's now a ceasefire from the missile attacks, putting 140 00:07:58,977 --> 00:08:02,417 Speaker 2: a pause into the recent aggressive bombing of innocent Israeli citizens. 141 00:08:02,497 --> 00:08:05,977 Speaker 2: Day after day, Israeli's face relentless and unprecedented attacks that 142 00:08:05,977 --> 00:08:09,257 Speaker 2: have killed dozens of innocent civilians.

These attacks are 144 00:08:12,977 --> 00:08:15,097 Speaker 2: only the start of something that could be much, much worse. 145 00:08:15,457 --> 00:08:18,417 Speaker 2: Your gift to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 146 00:08:18,457 --> 00:08:22,377 Speaker 2: helps provide wide scale food distribution along with critical first 147 00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:25,697 Speaker 2: aid and emergency supplies.

That's if CJ dot org. 154 00:08:46,617 --> 00:08:49,497 Speaker 2: Will New Yorkers wake up? That's really a question that 155 00:08:49,577 --> 00:08:52,137 Speaker 2: I have with all this. Will they see enough New Yorkers. 156 00:08:52,177 --> 00:08:53,617 Speaker 2: I know a lot of you are like Buck, I'm 157 00:08:53,657 --> 00:08:56,337 Speaker 2: a Republican, right, But I'm saying, will enough of them 158 00:08:56,377 --> 00:09:02,697 Speaker 2: figure out that this Mamdani situation is going to be magisterable. 159 00:09:02,777 --> 00:09:05,457 Speaker 2: One thing that I think is a big problem here 160 00:09:05,537 --> 00:09:12,017 Speaker 2: is his view of the usage of state eight incarceration, 161 00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:14,297 Speaker 2: state violence against criminals. 162 00:09:14,497 --> 00:09:17,217 Speaker 1: Oftentimes, we've even found as legislators when we go into 163 00:09:17,257 --> 00:09:20,297 Speaker 1: these courts, the term violent crime is even used when 164 00:09:20,337 --> 00:09:23,537 Speaker 1: people are stealing packages. Violent crime is even used when 165 00:09:23,537 --> 00:09:26,017 Speaker 1: people are accused of burglary and there happens to be 166 00:09:26,017 --> 00:09:29,377 Speaker 1: a housing unit in that same dwelling. So violence is 167 00:09:29,417 --> 00:09:32,537 Speaker 1: an artificial construction, right, you have to be very clear 168 00:09:32,977 --> 00:09:38,577 Speaker 1: what's happening here when attorneys that is violence that is. 169 00:09:40,777 --> 00:09:44,337 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a big problem, everybody. This is a 170 00:09:44,377 --> 00:09:48,097 Speaker 2: big problem, a big challenge, because when this guy says 171 00:09:48,737 --> 00:09:54,017 Speaker 2: that you can't use state violence to defend property, then 172 00:09:54,057 --> 00:09:57,657 Speaker 2: there's no enforcement of property rights. I mean, he's really 173 00:09:57,737 --> 00:10:00,377 Speaker 2: undermining the load bearing walls of civilization. He is, as 174 00:10:00,417 --> 00:10:02,257 Speaker 2: I like to say, kicking at the load bearing walls 175 00:10:02,257 --> 00:10:05,057 Speaker 2: of civilization and doing so in the name of some 176 00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:08,817 Speaker 2: preposterous equity and equality that will never manifest. It will 177 00:10:08,857 --> 00:10:11,777 Speaker 2: just get worse. I know you're like, Buck, we know 178 00:10:11,897 --> 00:10:14,937 Speaker 2: this New York making its crazy decisions. Yeah, but can 179 00:10:14,977 --> 00:10:17,617 Speaker 2: we just guys, can we take over? Can we the 180 00:10:18,257 --> 00:10:21,777 Speaker 2: right have control of one large city in America? A 181 00:10:21,857 --> 00:10:23,817 Speaker 2: large city, not a city of one hundred thousand people, 182 00:10:23,817 --> 00:10:27,697 Speaker 2: I mean a city of half a million plus. Miami's 183 00:10:27,697 --> 00:10:31,457 Speaker 2: pretty close. I mean Miami is like barely read, but 184 00:10:31,537 --> 00:10:34,737 Speaker 2: I mean solid control where we can do really conservative things. 185 00:10:35,737 --> 00:10:38,577 Speaker 2: It would just be so much better for all involved, 186 00:10:38,577 --> 00:10:40,257 Speaker 2: for all who live in that city, and we could 187 00:10:40,297 --> 00:10:42,417 Speaker 2: show everybody that it doesn't have to be this way. 188 00:10:42,737 --> 00:10:44,537 Speaker 2: You don't have to have lunatics saying things like we 189 00:10:44,577 --> 00:10:47,137 Speaker 2: need to close down all the prisons where state violence 190 00:10:47,217 --> 00:10:50,897 Speaker 2: is always is some kind of a construct. You know, 191 00:10:51,177 --> 00:10:54,697 Speaker 2: it is not kind to coddle criminals at the expense 192 00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:57,217 Speaker 2: of victims, which is what the left does all the time, 193 00:10:57,497 --> 00:11:00,577 Speaker 2: all the time.
