S1 EP 88: Cancel culture, policeman being killed, and liberal lunacy.

A statue of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt that sat in front of a NYC museum for almost 80 years was removed this week after criticism over its "racial" image. The sculpture, which was located at the American Museum of Natural History, featured the 26th president on horseback with a Native American man and an African man on either side of him. In my opinion, erasing history won't change anything. We need to preserve history in order to have productive discussions about the past. Most Americans don't care about statues. They care about the economy, inflation, rising food and gas prices and raging crime that's destroying American cities. Also 2 NYPD officers who were shot when they responded to a domestic dispute were identified overnight. The NYPD said 22-year-old Jason Rivera died while 27-year-old Wilbert Mora remains in critical condition at Harlem Hospital after being shot in the back of the skull Saturday morning. New York City Mayor Eric Adams had all flags lowered to half staff out of respect for Rivera. Eric Adams later visited the NYC 32nd police precinct, where Rivera was stationed out of, and where memorial was hung outside. This crime is raging in liberal run cities and it's time for the leaders to step up and take back their city. Our reality is becoming more and more dehumanized, which can be expected given what's going on with this "We can't hurt anyone's feelings" type system, literally everything else we value gets sacrificed to that goal. Until we, as a society, begin to acknowledge this and shift our goal back to protecting the American people we can expect this downward spiral and crime to continue. --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/lee-leffingwell/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/lee-leffingwell/support</a>
