Speaker 1 (00:11):
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

(00:57):
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 government 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 fifteenth 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 tribal realities inside of
Africa had a massive slave trade. They were taking slaves.

(03:55):
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 fat sitting.
The Ottoman slave trade. They would go as far and
this is deep into the eighteenth century, so in the

(04:18):
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 the world hundreds of

(04:42):
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 these individuals with? Who

(05:03):
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 illegal immigrants and pushing

(05:28):
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 can see
how it's just impossible. It's impossible to make the left

(05:52):
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 also
have designs on created something else. And it's not something

(06:13):
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 twenty two years ago,

(06:35):
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 nine to eleven
Institute was launched to right this wrong by helping to

(06:58):
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, and background
for teachers. Included in that as a speaker's bureau for
classrooms with access to nine to eleven first responders, survivors

(07:21):
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 create city
run grocery stores to promote equitable access to food after

(07:42):
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 what's going
on here. And he says it's because we need equitable

(08:04):
access to food because of food deserts, and he talks
about underserved communities. 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, let's
see major successful retailers and grocery store operators have pulled

(08:25):
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 this
is a city has a budget shortfall of Chicago of

(08:46):
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 and abuse
that will go on and ultimately the real problem here,

(09:09):
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 time
a grocery store closed that was a Whole Foods or
a wal Mart because they couldn't make money? When was

(09:33):
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 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

(09:55):
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.
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,

(10:18):
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
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

(10:42):
the story. And you say, okay, well, what happens when
they subsidize those choices for people? What happens when they
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

(11:06):
and just stuff that for your body is effectively on
health healthy crap. And you know what they found that
subsidizing and making more accessible in low income neighborhoods the
high quality produce. It 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

(11:28):
want to purchase soda, they want to purchase chips, they
want to purchase candy. 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 low fat milk. Right, you

(11:49):
start to see how this becomes very authoritarian sounding very quickly.
That people 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

(12:11):
the organic farmers' markets you want in poor areas of
major cities. They're not gonna catch on any time soon.
We've already 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,

(12:32):
would be true, would just be appalling. You know, it's
like the DMV. But you're gonna get your you know,
gonna get your chicken, your your steak, your you know,
your 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
based in Texas, want to help you feel your very best.

Elon Musk. They are going after him. This is not
a surprise because Elon Musk is a challenge to the
establishment as it stands. Now that the power of the

(13:56):
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
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

(14:21):
information indicates federal prosecutes have a broader interest in the
actions of Musk and Tesla, then previously known justs spartans,
investigating Tesla's use of company resources on a secret project
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 claves. I mean they're like

(14:42):
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
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

(15:05):
of the authoritarian left. And they won't let that go.
Absolutely will not let that go. And so 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.
