You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, welcome to the
Buck Sexton Show. Phenomenal lineup of stories to talk to
you about today. First up, we have New York City
looking to possibly remove monuments in public spaces, public squares
(00:35):
of Washington, Jefferson, Columbus, even Peter Stuyvesant. That's right, New
York City taking the time to do this instead of
trying to fix the trajectory it's on. We also have
the Mayor of Chicago looking like he wants to build
or set up grocery stores that are owned by the
(00:56):
City of Chicago, which to me, this just strikes me
as completely nuts. But when you understand what's going on
with these Democrats, when you understand the way they approach everything,
more govern control is what they're looking for. And then
the DOJ is investigating Elon musk Oh. Of course, anybody
(01:19):
who challenges the dominant autocratic paradigm of the left is
going to be subject to these kinds of tactics of
intimidation and harassment. So we will discuss all that, but First,
let's start with New York City, because New York City
is New York City is canceled or canceling its most
(01:42):
famous statues, possibly the city count The committee what is
it called, Committee on Cultural Affairs Committee? There you go.
The good little commissars of the Cultural Affairs Committee met
today to hear public comment about removing statues that include
statues like as I mentioned, Jefferson and Washington. We already
know the left definitely wants to tear down the founding fathers,
(02:06):
but in this one they also have Peter Stuyvesant. For
those who don't remember, Peter Stuyvesant is was the Dutch
governor of Manhattan and before it became New York, right,
it was New Amsterdam. He was the Dutch governor of
Manhattan and he was involved in slaves. He owned slaves,
(02:26):
so he has to be canceled. Columbus, as we know,
Christopher Columbus. He oh. Just as a side note, I
applied to stuyves In high school. For those of you
who know New York City. Got in. Just take a test.
You have to get a certain score. But I didn't go.
But it's considered the most elite public school in all
of New York City. I went to Regis High School instead,
you know, got a full ride there, so that was nice.
(02:47):
So they also want to put Christopher Columbus in the
mix here, somebody that they might be willing to get
rid of. Christopher Columbus. My friends, they hate Columbus. Now,
Columbus mistreated some of the natives that he encountered. But
we also have to look at the realities of the
Age of Exploration in the late fifteen century. What were people?
(03:12):
How did people treat each other? The answer is might
made right effectively. There was very little sense that you
would treat people outside your group, your religion, your tribe,
your nation, whatever, as as equals. That just wasn't the
reality of the world. Then you look at societies all
(03:33):
over the world. It also goes to how slavery existed
in societies all over the world. In the fifteen hundreds,
the Ottoman Empire had a massive slave empire. The different
states within Africa or the different you know, tribal realities
inside of Africa had a massive slave trade. They were
(03:54):
taking slaves. There was slavery practiced by different tribes in
North America before anyone got here from the European side.
So that's the reality, and those who don't know it's
actually fast. The Ottoman slave trade, they would go as
far and this is deep into the eighteenth century, so
(04:18):
in the seventeen hundreds, they would go as far north
to take Christian slaves. These are Muslim corsairs, taking Christians
from their city towns and cities. They went to the
coast of Ireland. They even made it to Iceland, I
believe at one point. And this was over centuries. This
went ongoing. The point being slavery was the reality of
(04:40):
the world hundreds of years ago. It doesn't mean it
was okay. Obviously it is a wrong, it is evil,
it is immoral. But if we are going to judge
everybody in that period of time by the standards of today,
we're who's going to be left effectively, That's what you
have to ask yourself. Who do they want to replace
(05:02):
these individuals with? Who do they want to replace the
founding fathers with Christopher Columbus and others. I would assume
the New York City Council would try to replace them
with some kind of like Marxist community organizers or something
along those lines. That's what I think they would like
to do you know someone who was involved in helping
(05:25):
illegal immigrants and pushing for you know, the transagenda in
schools in the last ten years or something, that those
are the only people who are truly acceptable to the left.
Because even people that the left admires and elevates throughout
the twentieth century, what was their position on gay marriage? Well,
why is that bigotry excused now? Right? I mean, you
(05:47):
can see how it's just impossible. It's impossible to make
the left happy on any of this. And the point
is it's not about what's right, what's decent, what's best
for society, the country. They want to tear down, and
the desire is to replace that history with something else. Yes,
it's just the destruction of what is. But then they
(06:08):
also have designs on creating something else. And it's not
something that they're very open about. But I do think
it's meant to change our shared historical vision of America
so that they can shape the future of America in
a Marxist, authoritarian mold. I truly believe that. I think
it's quite clear, my friends. We all remember what happened
(06:34):
twenty two years ago, the tragic events of nine to eleven.
The toll of lives loss was massive. Thousands of people lost,
family members suffered injuries, not to mention all the illnesses
that continued to take lives all these years later. There's
an entire generation, maybe two generations, that knows little to
nothing about our nation's darkest day. The Tunnel the Towers
(06:55):
nine to eleven Institute was launched to right this wrong
by helping to educate kids in kindergarten through twelfth grade
about nine to eleven. Their nonfiction first person accounts are
told through videos and a captivating book series. These accounts
are moving and unparalleled. Kids won't forget these true stories.
The institute offers full curriculum units with scripted social studies, lessons, activities,
(07:15):
and background for teachers. Included in that as a speaker's
bureau for classrooms with access to nine to eleven first responders,
survivors and loved ones to never forget. We must educate
future generations. Help our nation honor its vow. Donate eleven
dollars a month at T two T dot org. That's
t the number two T dot org. All right, So
here we get Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to
(07:36):
create city run grocery stores to promote equitable access to
food after Walmart and Whole Foods close stores. So he
says there's a partnership with the Economic Security Project to
open municipally owned state grocery stores. Basically remembers talking about
Marxism before and all this state grocery stores. That's effectively
(08:00):
what's going on here. And he says it's because we
need equitable access to food because of food deserts, and
he talks about underserved communees. Well, let's look at what
happened here. One person on social media rotors this is
the daily mail writing this. One person on social media wrote,
(08:21):
let's see major successful retailers and grocery store operators have
pulled out of certain zip codes due to chronic crime.
But the city of Chicago is going to install and
manage taxpayer subsidized stores. What could possibly go wrong? Another
added people need to learn to not steal, and the
grocery stores won't have to close. A third said residents
must respect community businesses if they want their services. So
(08:43):
this is a city has a budget shortfall of Chicago
of five hundred and thirty eight million dollars and it's
going to be operating grocery stores. I mean, I'm just
going to tell you right now, these are these If
they do this, they will be the worst, worst and
most expensive grocery stores you've ever seen in your life.
Expensive not to the people that chop there, but to
the taxpayer. I mean the amount of waste and fraud
(09:04):
and abuse that will go on and ultimately the real
problem here, the real problem here is that people are
stealing from these places. They say they're closed because of profitability,
because they don't want the problem really, how many if
you live in a nice you know, you know, sort
of middle class or above neighborhood, when was the last
(09:24):
time a grocery store closed that was a Whole Foods
or a wal Mart because they couldn't make money? When
was the last time that happened? Right? Yeah, The problem
here is people are stealing and they also the issue
of the food desert is an interesting This is something
that is often raised by people on the left. They
(09:45):
talk about things like tree equity. If you didn't know,
that's that there aren't enough trees in poorer neighborhoods, and
so they say that's unfair and I'm a big advocate
of trees and neighborhoods. But people have to take care
of trees. They have to not scratch the trees, write
graffiti on the trees, let the dogs urinate on the trees. Right.
(10:05):
You have to actually as a community, you have to
want to support these initiatives and people have to be
held to account who don't. But on the food desert issue,
they've done. They did a big under the Obama administration.
They had a big study on this and they were
incentivizing healthy food choices in grocery stores. They were subsidizing
(10:28):
because they said there are food deserts. There aren't enough
places that sell vegetables, fresh produce, you know, high quality
proteins in a lot of majority minority neighborhoods. That was
the story. And you say, okay, well, what happens when
they subsidize those choices for people? What happens when they
(10:50):
straight up say we will make it cheaper for you
to buy you know, lean ground beef and apricots and
Brussels sprouts and you know produce instead of soda chips
and just stuff that for your body is effectively unhealthy crap.
(11:11):
And you know what they found that subsidizing and making
more accessible in low income neighborhoods the high quality produce
is the Obama administration to this big study, this is
a federal study, did nothing. People still want to buy
what they want to buy. People want to purchase soda,
they want to purchase chips, they want to purchase candy.
(11:32):
And then you get into this thing of like, well,
are you not going to let them do that if
they use, for example, SNAPS Supplemental Nutritional Assistance program. Also
it's food stamps. Using food stamps, you're going to not
let them buy soda. You're going to only let them buy,
you know, low fat milk. Right, you start to see
how this becomes very authoritarian sounding very quickly. That people
(11:56):
should be allowed to make the food choices that they
want to make. Right, we all agree on that, and
the government trying to incentivize different food choices has not worked,
has not worked, and it is not good at that.
So you can try to talk about all the organic farmers'
markets you want in poor areas of major cities. They're
not going to catch on any time soon. We've already
(12:19):
seen this. People have already tried. And as for city
owned grocery stores. I mean, can you imagine the amount
of theft and just mismanagement that would go on, would
be true, would just be appalling. You know, it's like
the DMV, but you're going to get your You gonna
get your chicken, your your steak, your you know, your
(12:41):
cereal from that DMV. I think it's a horrible idea,
but we'll see being healthy, feeling strong. I mean, who
doesn't want this. Our friends at Chalk, the supplement company

Elon Musk. They are going after him. This is not
(13:46):
a surprise because Elon Musk is a challenge to the
establishment as it stands. Now that the power of the
authoritarian left. Here you go. Justice Department probe scrutinizes Elon Musk,
perks at Tesla going back for years. Federal prosecutors have
also sought information about transactions between Tesla and other entities
(14:07):
related to the billionaire. So they're looking at benefits that
Elon Musk got from the company that he's the CEO of.
Prosecutors have referenced the involvement of a grand jury. New
information indicates federal prosecutes have a broader interest in the
actions of Musk and Tesla, then previously known just Spartan,
investigating Tesla's use of company resources on a secret project
(14:30):
that was described internally as a house for Musk. The
house effort was known when the Carmaker's Project forty two
and plans call for expensive class. I mean, they're like
looking into the way this guy runs is the richest
guy on the planet. They're looking the way he runs
his company to harass him. You know why. They'll never
forgive him for taking away Twitter as one of their
(14:52):
favorite left wing, left wing information dominance tools. They'll never
forgive him for that. And Twitter's not perfect today, to
be sure, but it is not a wholly owned subsidiary
of the authoritarian left, and they won't let that go.
They add absolutely will not let that go. And so
(15:12):
they're gonna they're gonna try to harass him. I don't
think they'll be able to get very far with this,
or they're gonna do what they can to make his
life annoying. My Pillows team has a great sale going
