Greg YoungHOST
The Bowery Boys, episode 495, Governor Morris, the adventures of a founding father.
Greg YoungHOST
Hey, it's the Bowery Boys.
Greg YoungHOST
Hey.
Greg YoungHOST
Now, his name has come up repeatedly from time to time here, whether we're talking about the history of the Bronx or the creation of the Erie Canal.
Greg YoungHOST
And you New Yorkers out there might best know him for his late in life involvement with a certain thing called the 1811 Commissioner's Plan, which created this visionary grid of streets and avenues that defines most of Manhattan today.
Greg YoungHOST
However, I also suspect that some of you might know Morris as the founding father with the wooden leg or the founding father that was very popular with the ladies.
Greg YoungHOST
Although I kind of suspect that there were a few that may have competed for that particular title.
Greg YoungHOST
But Morris is one of my favorite historical figures related to early New York City history because you just...
LukeHOST
Kind of just a good stretch of movies right there.
LukeHOST
The Founding Fathers.
LukeHOST
Sound of Metal is the better drum movie.
GabeHOST
2014, actually.
Condace PressleyHOST
But there is much more to this island than the beautiful beaches.
Condace PressleyHOST
Nevis is also the birthplace of one of America's founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton.
Condace PressleyHOST
And now, the man who leads this island is here in Atlanta, inviting us to discover what makes Nevis so, so special.
Condace PressleyHOST
Joining me now on Perspectives is the Honorable Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis.
13 MINS LATER
Mark BrantleyGUEST
And with direct flights, as I say, from Atlanta now to Delta, it's about three, three and a half hours to see kids, five minutes to meet us.
Mark BrantleyGUEST
We leave at the end of the morning, I guarantee you, on the beach by the afternoon.
Condace PressleyHOST
We were talking about one of our founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, and the connection between Nevis and the United States.
Condace PressleyHOST
Much of his history remains visible today on the island.
Sven ScharpenHOST
We're We gotta focus and we gotta rebuild.
Sven ScharpenHOST
But furthermore, unlike other countries where all it takes to usher in a permanent socialist regime is a 50 plus one, our system was designed by the founding fathers with this exact scenario in mind.
Sven ScharpenHOST
The ultimate test will be what the left does and the capability of them to destroy the country.
Sven ScharpenHOST
I'm not gonna downplay their capability, of course, especially if they win in 2028.
Sven ScharpenHOST
We should absolutely be prepared for the worst.
Sven ScharpenHOST
But...
Sven ScharpenHOST
The Founding Fathers designed our government in a way where it is going to be extremely difficult to steal the Republic no matter how bad things get.
Sven ScharpenHOST
I expect Democrat hell for the next six years, and I did even before these midterms, and I'm ready for it.
Gerald FlurrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the Constitution became the foundation of this very republic.
Gerald FlurrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the Founding Fathers, as I said, gave up STREAMS of blood, their own blood, to give us this document.
Gerald FlurrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Many of them DIED, not even being able to be a part of it, so that we might have this document.
Gerald FlurrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They gave it to US, gave their blood to give it to us.
Gerald FlurrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that's easy to prove.
Gerald FlurrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you can see, I think something that's sort of interesting is they, I believe they knew that the Bible interprets itself because this constitution in many ways does interpret itself.
Richard PalmerHOST
Actually, America's founding fathers, they're far more righteous than we are.
Richard PalmerHOST
They knew a lot more about the Bible.
Joe GigantiHOST
But it's born of a selflessness.
Joe GigantiHOST
And as I said, our founding fathers, again, is there a benefit? Yeah, I mean, there's benefits.
Joe GigantiHOST
Sure, there's benefits.
Joe GigantiHOST
Children are an amazing benefit.
6 MINS LATER
Joe GigantiHOST
And that's where it requires that selflessness.
Joe GigantiHOST
But the payback is amazing.
Joe GigantiHOST
And to go to the beginning of this, our founding fathers, they too...
Joe GigantiHOST
We're amazingly selfless.
Monica CesaratoHOST
What did Venice do? And I'm thinking, oh, then you know very little about your own history if you don't understand this.
Monica CesaratoHOST
But What did America's founding father learn from Venice? And how significant was the Venetian political model in shaping the thinking of the founding fathers?
Joseph LoconteGUEST
Yes, that's an excellent question.
Joseph LoconteGUEST
Because once the Americans achieved their independence from Great Britain in the Revolution of 1776, now they're sitting down in Philadelphia in 1787 10 years before the disaster in Italy, but in 1787 in Philadelphia, now they have the opportunity to design a new constitution because their old constitution is not working.
28 MINS LATER
Monica CesaratoHOST
Yeah.
Monica CesaratoHOST
And another question for you, because I never, I don't know if it's true or not.
Monica CesaratoHOST
So since you're the historian, you can tell me, is it true that your founding fathers actually knew personally, because they were part of a, what do you call it, of a...
Monica CesaratoHOST
Not the lobby, the, oh, the masons, free masons.
SteveHOST
I would say it is very possible that some of you don't care some of those 2a folks don't care about nfa stuff oh i don't need a silencer i don't need it who needs that stuff that is not the point the item is not the point it is the restriction of liberty that's the issue because if they can squash the second amendment out they can squash out anything else And I don't know why that is so hard to understand that the Second Amendment is there for a purpose.
SteveHOST
The Founding Fathers didn't just chuck it in there because they like to shoot deer.
SteveHOST
And that's what the left will have you believe.
SteveHOST
That it was about hunting and the militia that we don't need anymore.
Joe GigantiHOST
How do we celebrate our own demise? So yes, selfishness.
Joe GigantiHOST
Our founding fathers were selfish.
Joe GigantiHOST
You don't think they took it on the chin multiple times, multiple ways? People in the public, the British, everyone in between? And they had a focus and a vision.
Joe GigantiHOST
They wanted to get to that focus and that vision.
Chris CordaniHOST
They should never have power.
Chris CordaniHOST
The Founding Fathers knew that we should never have a president that was not born in the United States.
Chris CordaniHOST
That's because there's a potential of influence outside the country.
Chris CordaniHOST
We now have Congress members and senators.
