WEBVTT - Buck Brief - NYC May Boot the Founders 0:00:11.697 --> 0:00:14.977 You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 0:00:15.017 --> 0:00:17.977 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 0:00:18.017 --> 0:00:21.177 wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, welcome to the 0:00:21.217 --> 0:00:24.617 Buck Sexton Show. Phenomenal lineup of stories to talk to 0:00:24.617 --> 0:00:28.017 you about today. First up, we have New York City 0:00:28.737 --> 0:00:34.497 looking to possibly remove monuments in public spaces, public squares 0:00:35.057 --> 0:00:40.337 of Washington, Jefferson, Columbus, even Peter Stuyvesant. That's right, New 0:00:40.377 --> 0:00:42.737 York City taking the time to do this instead of 0:00:42.777 --> 0:00:46.297 trying to fix the trajectory it's on. We also have 0:00:46.537 --> 0:00:52.137 the Mayor of Chicago looking like he wants to build 0:00:53.257 --> 0:00:56.857 or set up grocery stores that are owned by the 0:00:56.897 --> 0:01:01.137 City of Chicago, which to me, this just strikes me 0:01:01.177 --> 0:01:04.857 as completely nuts. But when you understand what's going on 0:01:05.577 --> 0:01:09.017 with these Democrats, when you understand the way they approach everything, 0:01:09.177 --> 0:01:12.817 more govern control is what they're looking for. And then 0:01:12.857 --> 0:01:18.977 the DOJ is investigating Elon musk Oh. Of course, anybody 0:01:19.017 --> 0:01:25.297 who challenges the dominant autocratic paradigm of the left is 0:01:25.337 --> 0:01:28.217 going to be subject to these kinds of tactics of 0:01:28.217 --> 0:01:31.137 intimidation and harassment. So we will discuss all that, but First, 0:01:31.177 --> 0:01:33.937 let's start with New York City, because New York City 0:01:34.137 --> 0:01:42.017 is New York City is canceled or canceling its most 0:01:42.097 --> 0:01:46.297 famous statues, possibly the city count The committee what is 0:01:46.297 --> 0:01:48.977 it called, Committee on Cultural Affairs Committee? There you go. 0:01:49.457 --> 0:01:52.817 The good little commissars of the Cultural Affairs Committee met 0:01:52.817 --> 0:01:57.257 today to hear public comment about removing statues that include 0:01:57.337 --> 0:02:01.417 statues like as I mentioned, Jefferson and Washington. We already 0:02:01.417 --> 0:02:05.057 know the left definitely wants to tear down the founding fathers, 0:02:06.017 --> 0:02:09.377 but in this one they also have Peter Stuyvesant. For 0:02:09.417 --> 0:02:13.777 those who don't remember, Peter Stuyvesant is was the Dutch 0:02:13.937 --> 0:02:18.337 governor of Manhattan and before it became New York, right, 0:02:18.377 --> 0:02:20.177 it was New Amsterdam. He was the Dutch governor of 0:02:20.177 --> 0:02:25.737 Manhattan and he was involved in slaves. He owned slaves, 0:02:26.297 --> 0:02:29.137 so he has to be canceled. Columbus, as we know, 0:02:29.217 --> 0:02:31.737 Christopher Columbus. He oh. Just as a side note, I 0:02:31.777 --> 0:02:33.497 applied to stuyves In high school. For those of you 0:02:33.497 --> 0:02:36.017 who know New York City. Got in. Just take a test. 0:02:36.017 --> 0:02:38.097 You have to get a certain score. But I didn't go. 0:02:38.257 --> 0:02:40.777 But it's considered the most elite public school in all 0:02:40.817 --> 0:02:44.337 of New York City. I went to Regis High School instead, 0:02:44.377 --> 0:02:46.577 you know, got a full ride there, so that was nice. 0:02:47.297 --> 0:02:50.857 So they also want to put Christopher Columbus in the 0:02:50.897 --> 0:02:53.097 mix here, somebody that they might be willing to get 0:02:53.177 --> 0:02:57.057 rid of. Christopher Columbus. My friends, they hate Columbus. Now, 0:02:57.057 --> 0:03:03.537 Columbus mistreated some of the natives that he encountered. But 0:03:03.857 --> 0:03:06.337 we also have to look at the realities of the 0:03:06.337 --> 0:03:12.537 Age of Exploration in the late fifteen century. What were people? 0:03:12.577 --> 0:03:16.017 How did people treat each other? The answer is might 0:03:16.057 --> 0:03:18.737 made right effectively. There was very little sense that you 0:03:18.737 --> 0:03:23.977 would treat people outside your group, your religion, your tribe, 0:03:24.057 --> 0:03:30.577 your nation, whatever, as as equals. That just wasn't the 0:03:30.617 --> 0:03:33.017 reality of the world. Then you look at societies all 0:03:33.017 --> 0:03:35.297 over the world. It also goes to how slavery existed 0:03:35.377 --> 0:03:39.857 in societies all over the world. In the fifteen hundreds, 0:03:40.257 --> 0:03:43.977 the Ottoman Empire had a massive slave empire. The different 0:03:43.977 --> 0:03:49.817 states within Africa or the different you know, tribal realities 0:03:49.817 --> 0:03:54.337 inside of Africa had a massive slave trade. They were 0:03:54.377 --> 0:04:00.657 taking slaves. There was slavery practiced by different tribes in 0:04:00.697 --> 0:04:06.457 North America before anyone got here from the European side. 0:04:06.657 --> 0:04:09.417 So that's the reality, and those who don't know it's 0:04:09.417 --> 0:04:13.457 actually fast. The Ottoman slave trade, they would go as 0:04:13.577 --> 0:04:18.097 far and this is deep into the eighteenth century, so 0:04:18.137 --> 0:04:21.457 in the seventeen hundreds, they would go as far north 0:04:22.217 --> 0:04:27.057 to take Christian slaves. These are Muslim corsairs, taking Christians 0:04:27.137 --> 0:04:30.417 from their city towns and cities. They went to the 0:04:30.417 --> 0:04:32.497 coast of Ireland. They even made it to Iceland, I 0:04:32.497 --> 0:04:36.817 believe at one point. And this was over centuries. This 0:04:36.857 --> 0:04:40.537 went ongoing. The point being slavery was the reality of 0:04:40.577 --> 0:04:43.177 the world hundreds of years ago. It doesn't mean it 0:04:43.217 --> 0:04:46.337 was okay. Obviously it is a wrong, it is evil, 0:04:46.377 --> 0:04:50.097 it is immoral. But if we are going to judge 0:04:50.137 --> 0:04:54.577 everybody in that period of time by the standards of today, 0:04:55.057 --> 0:04:58.417 we're who's going to be left effectively, That's what you 0:04:58.417 --> 0:05:02.297 have to ask yourself. Who do they want to replace 0:05:02.337 --> 0:05:04.137 these individuals with? Who do they want to replace the 0:05:04.137 --> 0:05:08.617 founding fathers with Christopher Columbus and others. I would assume 0:05:09.617 --> 0:05:11.817 the New York City Council would try to replace them 0:05:12.017 --> 0:05:15.857 with some kind of like Marxist community organizers or something 0:05:15.897 --> 0:05:20.257 along those lines. That's what I think they would like 0:05:20.337 --> 0:05:25.057 to do you know someone who was involved in helping 0:05:25.137 --> 0:05:30.897 illegal immigrants and pushing for you know, the transagenda in 0:05:30.977 --> 0:05:33.857 schools in the last ten years or something, that those 0:05:33.857 --> 0:05:36.097 are the only people who are truly acceptable to the left. 0:05:37.337 --> 0:05:41.497 Because even people that the left admires and elevates throughout 0:05:41.497 --> 0:05:44.657 the twentieth century, what was their position on gay marriage? Well, 0:05:44.697 --> 0:05:47.697 why is that bigotry excused now? Right? I mean, you 0:05:47.737 --> 0:05:51.737 can see how it's just impossible. It's impossible to make 0:05:51.777 --> 0:05:53.697 the left happy on any of this. And the point 0:05:53.737 --> 0:05:56.817 is it's not about what's right, what's decent, what's best 0:05:56.857 --> 0:06:01.017 for society, the country. They want to tear down, and 0:06:01.177 --> 0:06:05.377 the desire is to replace that history with something else. Yes, 0:06:05.417 --> 0:06:08.377 it's just the destruction of what is. But then they 0:06:08.417 --> 0:06:12.497 also have designs on creating something else. And it's not 0:06:12.617 --> 0:06:15.937 something that they're very open about. But I do think 0:06:16.017 --> 0:06:22.377 it's meant to change our shared historical vision of America 0:06:22.457 --> 0:06:24.617 so that they can shape the future of America in 0:06:24.657 --> 0:06:27.777 a Marxist, authoritarian mold. I truly believe that. I think 0:06:27.777 --> 0:06:33.497 it's quite clear, my friends. We all remember what happened 0:06:34.217 --> 0:06:37.137 twenty two years ago, the tragic events of nine to eleven. 0:06:38.377 --> 0:06:42.137 The toll of lives loss was massive. Thousands of people lost, 0:06:42.177 --> 0:06:45.137 family members suffered injuries, not to mention all the illnesses 0:06:45.137 --> 0:06:48.057 that continued to take lives all these years later. There's 0:06:48.097 --> 0:06:51.897 an entire generation, maybe two generations, that knows little to 0:06:51.937 --> 0:06:54.937 nothing about our nation's darkest day. The Tunnel the Towers 0:06:55.017 --> 0:06:57.417 nine to eleven Institute was launched to right this wrong 0:06:57.857 --> 0:07:00.737 by helping to educate kids in kindergarten through twelfth grade 0:07:00.857 --> 0:07:04.337 about nine to eleven. Their nonfiction first person accounts are 0:07:04.377 --> 0:07:07.657 told through videos and a captivating book series. These accounts 0:07:07.657 --> 0:07:10.977 are moving and unparalleled. Kids won't forget these true stories. 0:07:11.257 --> 0:07:15.257 The institute offers full curriculum units with scripted social studies, lessons, activities, 0:07:15.257 --> 0:07:18.137 and background for teachers. Included in that as a speaker's 0:07:18.177 --> 0:07:21.017 bureau for classrooms with access to nine to eleven first responders, 0:07:21.017 --> 0:07:23.977 survivors and loved ones to never forget. We must educate 0:07:24.017 --> 0:07:27.697 future generations. Help our nation honor its vow. Donate eleven 0:07:27.737 --> 0:07:29.977 dollars a month at T two T dot org. That's 0:07:30.057 --> 0:07:33.177 t the number two T dot org. All right, So 0:07:33.177 --> 0:07:36.577 here we get Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to 0:07:36.617 --> 0:07:41.217 create city run grocery stores to promote equitable access to 0:07:41.377 --> 0:07:47.017 food after Walmart and Whole Foods close stores. So he 0:07:47.057 --> 0:07:50.137 says there's a partnership with the Economic Security Project to 0:07:50.257 --> 0:07:55.097 open municipally owned state grocery stores. Basically remembers talking about 0:07:55.097 --> 0:07:59.977 Marxism before and all this state grocery stores. That's effectively 0:08:00.057 --> 0:08:03.217 what's going on here. And he says it's because we 0:08:03.257 --> 0:08:07.897 need equitable access to food because of food deserts, and 0:08:07.977 --> 0:08:13.777 he talks about underserved communees. Well, let's look at what 0:08:13.977 --> 0:08:19.057 happened here. One person on social media rotors this is 0:08:19.097 --> 0:08:21.537 the daily mail writing this. One person on social media wrote, 0:08:21.617 --> 0:08:25.017 let's see major successful retailers and grocery store operators have 0:08:25.017 --> 0:08:27.457 pulled out of certain zip codes due to chronic crime. 0:08:27.977 --> 0:08:29.897 But the city of Chicago is going to install and 0:08:29.937 --> 0:08:34.057 manage taxpayer subsidized stores. What could possibly go wrong? Another 0:08:34.097 --> 0:08:36.217 added people need to learn to not steal, and the 0:08:36.257 --> 0:08:39.417 grocery stores won't have to close. A third said residents 0:08:39.457 --> 0:08:43.537 must respect community businesses if they want their services. So 0:08:43.617 --> 0:08:46.057 this is a city has a budget shortfall of Chicago 0:08:46.097 --> 0:08:49.057 of five hundred and thirty eight million dollars and it's 0:08:49.057 --> 0:08:50.777 going to be operating grocery stores. I mean, I'm just 0:08:50.777 --> 0:08:52.137 going to tell you right now, these are these If 0:08:52.177 --> 0:08:56.337 they do this, they will be the worst, worst and 0:08:56.417 --> 0:08:58.937 most expensive grocery stores you've ever seen in your life. 0:08:58.937 --> 0:09:00.937 Expensive not to the people that chop there, but to 0:09:00.977 --> 0:09:04.297 the taxpayer. I mean the amount of waste and fraud 0:09:04.337 --> 0:09:07.257 and abuse that will go on and ultimately the real 0:09:07.337 --> 0:09:12.457 problem here, the real problem here is that people are 0:09:12.457 --> 0:09:16.177 stealing from these places. They say they're closed because of profitability, 0:09:16.177 --> 0:09:19.457 because they don't want the problem really, how many if 0:09:19.497 --> 0:09:22.057 you live in a nice you know, you know, sort 0:09:22.097 --> 0:09:24.537 of middle class or above neighborhood, when was the last 0:09:24.577 --> 0:09:27.177 time a grocery store closed that was a Whole Foods 0:09:27.257 --> 0:09:32.817 or a wal Mart because they couldn't make money? When 0:09:32.897 --> 0:09:37.377 was the last time that happened? Right? Yeah, The problem 0:09:37.417 --> 0:09:40.737 here is people are stealing and they also the issue 0:09:40.737 --> 0:09:42.777 of the food desert is an interesting This is something 0:09:42.777 --> 0:09:45.057 that is often raised by people on the left. They 0:09:45.057 --> 0:09:47.937 talk about things like tree equity. If you didn't know, 0:09:47.977 --> 0:09:52.737 that's that there aren't enough trees in poorer neighborhoods, and 0:09:52.777 --> 0:09:55.257 so they say that's unfair and I'm a big advocate 0:09:55.257 --> 0:09:57.617 of trees and neighborhoods. But people have to take care 0:09:57.657 --> 0:10:02.377 of trees. They have to not scratch the trees, write 0:10:02.377 --> 0:10:05.577 graffiti on the trees, let the dogs urinate on the trees. Right. 0:10:05.617 --> 0:10:09.577 You have to actually as a community, you have to 0:10:10.257 --> 0:10:14.377 want to support these initiatives and people have to be 0:10:14.377 --> 0:10:17.937 held to account who don't. But on the food desert issue, 0:10:17.977 --> 0:10:20.737 they've done. They did a big under the Obama administration. 0:10:20.737 --> 0:10:23.977 They had a big study on this and they were 0:10:24.057 --> 0:10:28.337 incentivizing healthy food choices in grocery stores. They were subsidizing 0:10:28.817 --> 0:10:31.097 because they said there are food deserts. There aren't enough 0:10:31.097 --> 0:10:36.697 places that sell vegetables, fresh produce, you know, high quality 0:10:36.737 --> 0:10:42.777 proteins in a lot of majority minority neighborhoods. That was 0:10:42.777 --> 0:10:46.857 the story. And you say, okay, well, what happens when 0:10:46.857 --> 0:10:50.617 they subsidize those choices for people? What happens when they 0:10:50.657 --> 0:10:52.537 straight up say we will make it cheaper for you 0:10:52.617 --> 0:11:00.057 to buy you know, lean ground beef and apricots and 0:11:00.297 --> 0:11:06.097 Brussels sprouts and you know produce instead of soda chips 0:11:06.617 --> 0:11:10.577 and just stuff that for your body is effectively unhealthy crap. 0:11:11.177 --> 0:11:14.737 And you know what they found that subsidizing and making 0:11:14.977 --> 0:11:20.377 more accessible in low income neighborhoods the high quality produce 0:11:20.457 --> 0:11:23.057 is the Obama administration to this big study, this is 0:11:23.057 --> 0:11:26.617 a federal study, did nothing. People still want to buy 0:11:26.617 --> 0:11:29.337 what they want to buy. People want to purchase soda, 0:11:29.377 --> 0:11:31.777 they want to purchase chips, they want to purchase candy. 0:11:32.777 --> 0:11:34.857 And then you get into this thing of like, well, 0:11:34.857 --> 0:11:37.377 are you not going to let them do that if 0:11:37.377 --> 0:11:42.377 they use, for example, SNAPS Supplemental Nutritional Assistance program. Also 0:11:42.457 --> 0:11:45.137 it's food stamps. Using food stamps, you're going to not 0:11:45.217 --> 0:11:47.897 let them buy soda. You're going to only let them buy, 0:11:47.977 --> 0:11:50.097 you know, low fat milk. Right, you start to see 0:11:50.177 --> 0:11:56.897 how this becomes very authoritarian sounding very quickly. That people 0:11:56.937 --> 0:11:58.697 should be allowed to make the food choices that they 0:11:58.737 --> 0:12:01.097 want to make. Right, we all agree on that, and 0:12:01.137 --> 0:12:05.217 the government trying to incentivize different food choices has not worked, 0:12:05.937 --> 0:12:09.417 has not worked, and it is not good at that. 0:12:10.217 --> 0:12:12.657 So you can try to talk about all the organic farmers' 0:12:12.697 --> 0:12:16.417 markets you want in poor areas of major cities. They're 0:12:16.457 --> 0:12:18.977 not going to catch on any time soon. We've already 0:12:19.017 --> 0:12:22.257 seen this. People have already tried. And as for city 0:12:22.337 --> 0:12:27.257 owned grocery stores. I mean, can you imagine the amount 0:12:27.297 --> 0:12:32.417 of theft and just mismanagement that would go on, would 0:12:32.457 --> 0:12:34.937 be true, would just be appalling. You know, it's like 0:12:34.977 --> 0:12:37.897 the DMV, but you're going to get your You gonna 0:12:37.937 --> 0:12:41.737 get your chicken, your your steak, your you know, your 0:12:41.777 --> 0:12:45.257 cereal from that DMV. I think it's a horrible idea, 0:12:45.377 --> 0:12:49.017 but we'll see being healthy, feeling strong. I mean, who 0:12:49.017 --> 0:12:51.577 doesn't want this. Our friends at Chalk, the supplement company 0:12:51.577 --> 0:12:53.897 based in Texas, want to help you feel your very best. 0:12:54.217 --> 0:12:56.537 They've got a great line of all natural supplements designed 0:12:56.537 --> 0:12:59.457 for both men and women.
