Listen to The Next-Gen Report live! Sundays at 7:00 p.m. on AM950, KPRC.
Americans are outraged after a career criminal who had previously been arrested 14 times killed a Ukrainian refugee on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Why did he do it? Because she was white.
The media, and the left, are now upset that you are noticing. You should be upset that this man was allowed to leave jail in the first place.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
From the heart of the Space City to the heart
of gen Z. Welcome to Next Gen Conversation, not Dad's
Talk Radio. Ethan talks to you about the issues and
events that men.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Are to our generation.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
This is the Next Gen Report put Ethan Buchanan.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey, everybody, welcome, Welcome to the Next Gen Report with
me Ethan Buchanan. It's cooler when he says it. I
don't know how some people are gifted with voices like that.
But you could ask that guy to record himself saying literally,
whatever you want over whatever backing track you want, and
(00:44):
it is going to sound awesome. Meanwhile, I try to
do it and I sound like a door. That's fine.
Some people are blessed with certain things. Some people aren't.
It's whatever. Anyway, Welcome guys, Thank you for watching or
tuning in or listening whatever it is you're doing. We're
available everywhere, by the way, so if you're listening right now,
you can go watch if you prefer that, the Next
(01:05):
Gen Report or Ethan Buchanan. Search it on YouTube you'll
find the show, or of course at Underscore Ethan Buchanan
on x I upload the entire video of the show
there on x on Twitter, so you can find it
right there, very easy to find, very fun to watch,
at least I think I enjoy watching it, but maybe
that's just because I made it. It's like a baby,
(01:26):
you know. I can't call my own child ugly. But anyway,
what do we got going on? We've got a lot.
I'm gonna start off by talking about some more fun
stuff because we're gonna have to talk about some really
serious stuff and I'm gonna get very worked up and
pissed off about it later. I can already feel it
boiling up inside of me. So we're gonna start by
talking about the fun stuff and the hard hitting, heavy
(01:47):
stuff that'll be a little bit later in the show.
So let's start off with some bad news and then
some good news, and then we'll just have a fun
chat for starters. We all remember the cracker barrel debacle.
It wasn't that long ago. I talked about it a lot.
You can go find those shows wherever. All right, I
feel like we had all kind of collectively as a
society come to the decision that hey, corporate minimalist logo
(02:11):
rebrands are not good. Ever, when anybody does it right,
I thought we all kind of cleared that up. Cracker
Barrell did it, everybody hated it, and they undid it.
Apparently the City of Austin didn't get that message. They
immediately turned around and did the same thing Cracker Barrel did.
This is City of Austin, Texas. Looks like a homeless
(02:31):
tent Austin residence blast updated one point one million dollar
city logo. First of all, that is a bonkers price tag.
Here's the logo. It's literally just a stylized letter A.
And by stylized, I mean it's just lines. If you're watching,
you can see it. If you're listening, you can't go
(02:52):
look it up. I mean I could have done this
for free. I would not have charged someone money for this.
The City of Austin paid one point one million dollars.
That is bonkers. And on top of being bonkers, it's
an insane waste of taxpayer money. Imagine you're the Austin
city populace the voters and you realize this is what
(03:14):
your tax dollars are being spent on. You can see
the old logo before. It's actually kind of cool. It's
got a little lamp on it. It's got a cross up
at the top, there's a little banner hanging down. There's
something going on. It's got personality. It says City of Austin,
founded in eighteen thirty nine. It's nice, right. It gives
you maybe some sort of hint about what the culture
(03:34):
and history of the city is, some identity, right versus
this one just I don't know how to describe this
other than awful. It's just awful. And they paid one
point one million dollars for it. That's unbelievable. Anyway, I
mentioned Cracker Barrel and we had talked about this before,
(03:55):
about how their logo was only half the problem. The
other half of the problem was their corporate minimalist rebrand
that they did of the interior of the restaurants. Well,
they're walking that back now too. No, Cracker Barrel does
not need my location. Get out of here. I will
find your location, Cracker Barrel. So we had talked about
(04:18):
how bad the Cracker Barrel interior redesign was. And you
can go watch that video. You can go see or
listen or whatever. You can actually see the side by
side of the old Cracker Barrel in the new Cracker Barrel.
And we complained about that as well, and they're walking
that back too, which is good. Here's the statement they
(04:39):
put out on their website. You shared your voices in
recent weeks, not just on our logo, but also on
our restaurants. We're continuing to listen. Today, we're suspending our remodels.
If your restaurant hasn't been remodeled, you don't need to worry.
It won't be great great. That's all we wanted. Leave
good Enough alone. We heard clearly that modern remodel designs
(05:01):
do not reflect what you love about Cracker Barrel. No
freaking kidding. We had tested this design in only four
out of six hundred and sixty locations, and we won't
continue with it good. What's shocking here is if you
remember the Cracker Barrel CEO was going on and on
about how much people love this. Remember we played that
cut on ABC again, Go back and listen to it.
(05:23):
She was talking about how, oh, everybody loves these remodels.
We have people coming up to us and saying, hey,
how do I get a remodel at my store? So
it kind of looks like you were lying the whole time,
but we knew you were. The vintage Americana you love
will always be there. The rocking chairs on the porch
are fireplaces and peg games, unique treasures in our gift shop,
(05:43):
and antiques pulled straight from our warehouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.
We want you to have a warm, welcoming space for
friends and family to gather and enjoy our cravable food
and country hospitality.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Good job Cracker Burrough credit where it's due. They made
a mistake, they walked it back. I can respect that.
I can respect that. I do respect that I do.
I will reward Cracker Barrel with my business. I was
talking with my wife about this earlier today I saw
these headlines, or I guess this would have been yesterday
when they announced all this, But I was telling her,
(06:19):
we need to go to Cracker Brough. We do because
it's one thing to look at a company and say, hey,
why are you doing this thing? We hate it. We're
not going to shop here anymore. That's the stick, right.
You then have to counter that with a carrot. There
has to be an alternative if you want these companies
to actually do what you want right. If you don't
(06:41):
want companies to go woke, you not only have to
punish the companies that do go woke, but you have
to reward the companies that don't. Cracker Barrel kind of
dip a toe into the wokeness, and now they're pulling
it back out. Fair enough, you tested the waters. I'm
not going to fight you on that. What's done is
but you're walking it back. You're bringing back what we
(07:03):
love about Cracker Barrel, and I like that. I do,
so I will be going to Cracker Barrel, probably sometime
in the next day or two, just to reward them
with a little bit of my business, and also because
this has been a good reminder that I actually do
really enjoy Cracker Barrel and I haven't had their food
in a while. I want to go back, and I
want to give it a try. So I'm gonna be
(07:23):
doing that. I encourage you to to. If this was
an issue that you got up in arms about, you
threw a tempera tanis from online, just like I did
about Cracker Barrel's rebrand. Now that they're walking it back,
give them the carrot. You gave them the stick, now
go give them the carrot. I think that's fair. All right.
We have got quite a bit coming up in just
a minute. We're going to be talking about some listener
feedback that we got, so that'll be fine. Stay tuned.
(07:45):
We'll be right back after this quick break with more
of the Next Gen Report. Alrighty, I've got something that
(08:23):
I've been wanting to kind of talk about for a
long time, and it's a It's an area where I
kind of split off from a lot of the kind
of more mainstream, kind of right wing base. I don't
like the idea necessarily of term limits. I understand why
(08:47):
we need it for the presidency. That's a lot of
power to have concentrated in one place, so for one
person to just hang on to it forever, I don't
know if that's necessarily healthy, even if the people really
want that person to right so that hey, two terms,
(09:07):
eight years, you're done. I think that kind of makes sense.
I like that idea, but for the kind of senators
and the representatives of the world, those kind of lower
level elected officials, you always hear how much we need
term limits, and they'll point to examples of just ancient
people that have been in office forever. Nancy Pelosi comes
(09:30):
to mind, the dude out of Kentucky, the Turtle, Mitch
McConnell comes to mind, and there are a bunch of
other examples of people that have just been in office
forever and they're terrible people. They you know, don't really
do a good job. There's serious questions that need to
be asked about their health or metal capacity or what
(09:51):
have you. And they'll say, oh, we need term limits.
Maybe maybe, But I tend to just think we need
smarter voters, right. And I posted this on Twitter and
I got some interesting feedback, and I want to talk
about it now. I've told you for a number of
times on this show, go follow me on Twitter, interact
(10:13):
with me on Twitter, share with me your thoughts. This
is why I need content. So a bunch of people
are going to become content today and we're going to
have an actual discussion because I got some interesting feedback
that I liked on this, so we're gonna talk about it.
So here's the post hot take. Term limits are a
cop out for lazy voters who want to complain but
don't want to put in the work to research and
(10:35):
support primary candidates. And I do truly believe that because listen,
here's an objective fact. It's a lot easier to say,
oh gosh, I can't believe so and so is at
it again. We need term limits to get them out
of office. It's a lot easier to say that on
X or Facebook or the radio or wherever you say
it than to actually sit down and say, Okay, who
(10:59):
is actually all of the best candidates out of all
of the people running, and how are they going to
perform an office based on their past record, and what
kind of data do we have on that to kind
of gauge how we think so and so is going
to vote on X issue in office, and then to
go out and actually do the work of door knocking
and campaigning and calling people and saying, hey, I think
(11:20):
you should vote for this person, and here's why. That's difficult.
I know because I've done it. I've worked on political campaigns,
not a lot, but I've done it quite a bit.
I've done that kind of door to door door knocking
and walking up to voters and saying, hey, here's this candidate,
here's why you should vote for them. I'm by no
means an expert at it. I haven't done it extensively,
but I've done it. I have experience. I know it's hard. However,
(11:43):
it's necessary. I think the call for term limits. That's
just people who don't want to do that work and
don't want to be responsible for it, trying to find
a cop out. I believe that. So let's talk about
some of the feedback that we got. Zabon Hurricane On
(12:03):
X said, how about the opposite snap elections on demand,
make it so that with a petition, any representative, senator, governor,
or the president can be replaced at any time. I
don't hate the idea, especially not for those lower level offices,
but like I said to Zabon or Zibon or however
(12:26):
you pronounce his name, I think for the office of
the presidency, that should be a little bit more stable,
just because that's a lot more going on rights, that's
thinking a lot more long term. You need a while
to put into place plans at the presidential level and
then see the results. So I don't necessarily think that
(12:49):
that's fair for the presidency, but for a stay representative maybe,
or even a representative in the US Congress if they
vote away you don't like and you want to say, oh, okay,
I'm recalling them right now. I don't hate that idea.
I believe the system in the UK is somewhat similar
to that, but not exactly. I'm not a I'm not
(13:10):
an expert on the parliamentary system, but I think they
do something kind of similar to a certain extent. I
don't hate that idea for certain levels. John Watt says,
your comment has merrit but we need some limits and
be able to avoid people hanging on for twenty five, thirty,
or even forty years, and certainly not fifty like Sleepy Joe. Okay,
(13:32):
but do we And here's the counterpoint that I always
raise to this, What if somebody really likes their representative.
What if someone's representative is doing a very good job right,
Let's say, for example, Thomas Massey. You can think whatever
(13:53):
you like about Thomas Massey. He said some things even
recently that I don't agree with. I tend to like
Thomas quite a bit, and I know he's very popular
in his district. So let's say, for example, and this
is all hypothetical, that Thomas Massey's voters keep liking what
he's doing, what he's standing for, how he's voting in Congress,
(14:14):
and they keep electing him, and nobody else is coming
up that those voters like. Should they be forced to
get rid of Thomas Massey if they want him to
represent them and then he's doing a good job, I
would say probably not. If you like your representative, you
should be able to keep your representative. I, for one,
(14:37):
really like Ted Kruz as a senator here in Texas.
Unless he does something drastic that he hasn't done yet,
I'll probably vote for him as long as he's up
and nobody better runs, right and anytime he has a
primary challenger, I'll take a look at that primary challenger.
If he does something that I don't like and he
(14:57):
doesn't have a primary challenger, I'll start looking for people
who are considering it and encouraging them to run. But
as of right now, I like Ted Cruz and if
he runs again, I'll vote for him again because I
think he's doing a good job. He's representing me as
a Texan fairly well. So that's always my kind of
what are you do in those situations? Why would you
(15:18):
force someone to get rid of a representative they like?
And if you have a good reason or good example,
by all means, reach out to me. Let me know.
There's my ex page right here at Underscore. Ethan Buchanning
give me a comment, Shoot me a DM. I'd love
to hear from you. You can email me, by the way,
Thenext Gen Report at gmail dot com. Shoot me an
email there, let me know I'll read it. I think
he promised. I don't give that any emails. John Donahue said,
(15:41):
I think term limits and some serious campaign finance reform
is what could fix the broken political landscape. People are
allowed to become entrenched and their only motivation is reelection
to hold onto power. That does not serve people. It
only serves candidates. And he's right. That is a real problem,
people just becoming entrenched in politics and not doing anything
to serve the people. Here's the thing, though, as entrenched
(16:04):
as you are, you can always lose. It may be
very difficult to lose, but it can still be done.
At the end of the day, if enough voters say
you are not doing a good job, any person, no
matter how long they've been there, no matter how big
their war chest is, eventually will lose an election if
they do a bad enough job. That's just true. I
(16:28):
think this is another example of somebody going, oh, well,
we can't primary so and so. They're true in trench
they have too big of a war chest. Okay, well
have you even tried. Have you even tried? Have you
even tried to go and donate your time and your
money to an opposition candidate in the primaries? Oftentimes the
answer is no. So again, that's why I go to say,
(16:52):
I think it's a cop out. I think it's a
cop out lazy voters aka average IQ people who just
want to live there lives. And hey, if that's the case,
you don't have to tune into politics at all. But
you don't get to complain. If you just want to
live your life and you don't want to focus on
politics at all, that's just fun. I admire you. I
(17:13):
wish I was the same way. I'm addicted to politics
like it's crack and I hate it. But at the
same time, don't go complaining. Don't sit there and say, oh,
I've been stuck with this same representative for years and
years and years and I want a new one when
you wouldn't take the time to even go campaign. You
don't get to complain. If that's your attitude. You can
(17:34):
have that attitude. It's fine. I encourage it, but don't complain,
and don't sit there and blame term limits or whatever
because you won't do the work. That's not your fault
or that's not termine assault. Anyway, We've got a lot
to talk about in the next couple of segments, so
stay tuned. This is gonna be This is gonna be
the heavy one, So I don't want to spoil it.
We'll be right back, all right. I'm warning you now,
(18:18):
we're gonna be covering heavy topics in this segment. Probably
the next I'm gonna get mad about this. You've been warned.
If you're a sensitive person, if you don't like having
hard discussions, if you don't like people seeing angry, tune
out now. But if you want to hear important things
(18:40):
be said about an important situation, you're in the right place.
So in case you missed it, we're going to be
talking about the killing of a Ukrainian refugee, a young
woman who came to this country to escape the war
in her country, who was by as far as I
(19:03):
can tell and the research I've done, ready to become
a stand up, hard working American. Irena Zarutska. I'm almost
definitely saying her name wrong. Made the mistake of sitting
on a light rail train cart on her way home
from work from what I believe was working at a
(19:26):
pizza restaurant, bothering nobody, sitting in a train car with
her headphones in, just looking at her phone, not doing
a damn thing to anyone, and some guy who should
have been in prison, probably should have been executed already
(19:47):
for other crimes that he had committed for no discernible
reason other than he just hates white people, gets up,
stabs her in the neck, slits her neck open, and
lets her bleed out right there in train card while whispering,
I got that white girl, I got that white girl.
We don't know why he did it, bull crap. He
(20:09):
told us why he did it. But this is the case.
I'm gonna play you the video. Obviously it's been censored
a little bit, uh, because this is a very graphic video.
The full uncensored video where you see this woman get
sliced through the throat and watch her bleed out, is available.
It's online. It's easy to find. It's on x. If
(20:33):
you're a sensitive person, you should not go watch it,
but if you can stomach it, you should because you
need to understand the society that the left is trying
to push on us trying to mandate. They want you defenseless,
they want you murdered. There's no other reason, because that's
what happened to her, and it's a direct result of
every single policy that the Democrats have ever pushed. They
(20:55):
don't want you to be armed, they don't want criminals
in prison. They want you forced to take public trends
where you're a victim of all this garbage. Go watch
the video, get pissed off about it. I'm gonna play
you the censored version so that you know where we're
coming from and you don't throw up, because it is
(21:16):
sickening here it is. You can see her just sitting
there bothering, no one on her phone. Here's the perpetrator
right here. Watch this right there. It cuts out where
he actually goes in, but you can see here he
raises his hand. They cut a few frames. She's been
(21:37):
stabbed right here in the neck multiple times. This woman
is dead now, she's alive, but she's bleeding out. Look
real closely. This is the face of a woman who
knows she has died but hasn't quite bled out yet.
On this freaking train car. And watch all these people
(21:58):
just sitting there doing not a damn thing about it.
They do nothing in this corner here, not a thing.
He stands up, he follows the other guy. Look at her.
(22:18):
Look at that woman. Do you see her hands in
her face? That is a woman who knows she is
bleeding out and is going to die. She was murdered
on a public train car for no goddamn reason. She
did nothing to anybody on that train, and that guy
(22:42):
stood up and gutted her like a fish, and she
could do not a damn thing about it except sit
there and bleed. You should be furious, You should hate
people because of this. Look at her face. Even in
this video, you can see the tears on her face.
(23:05):
She came to America from Ukraine in wartime because she thought,
I can leave this war and I can build a
life for myself in what's supposed to be a free
and safe country. And what did she get for her trouble?
Stabbed in the throat by a man who should have
been in prison for life, if not executed already for
(23:27):
various other crimes. I told you should hate people. That's
probably the wrong word. You should have righteous anger at
this woman right here because she did it. This woman
has blood on her hands. This is Teresa Strokes. She's
(23:48):
an appointed magistrate judge. She was not elected by any
goddamn body. She was appointed to be a judge. And
she let this man, who had already been arrested fourteen
times out with no bail. She just let him walk
(24:12):
out of jail. And this is what we get. He
walks right out of jail for free, no bail, onto
this train and stabs this woman in the neck. Why
no reason other than she's white. And I'm not just
making that up. I'm not race bating. I've been calling
a lot of things in my life, but never a
(24:33):
race baider. He said that there's audio you can find it.
I might play in the next segment if I can
dig it up. It's all over X of him going
I got that white girl. And the left will say, oh,
but mental health. He had a mental health crisis. I
don't care. If you're so mentally unstable that you can't
(24:54):
so much sit on a train car with a woman
who's a different color than you without dabbing her in
the throat. You need to be in prison for life,
if not just executed, because there's a strong case to
be made that the taxpayers shouldn't be burdened with your
life just to keep you from murdering people. This is disgusting. Thankfully,
(25:18):
a lot of representatives in North Carolina have now signed
this letter calling for her to be removed. Great job, guys.
Now that she's let the guy out who killed a woman,
Now we're getting to it. Now we're solving the problem.
Now that she's already led a career criminal stab a
(25:39):
young woman in the throat and kill her. Now we'll
get this lady removed. Good job. Here's the guy. In
twenty twenty, Macklenburg County was awarded for its second grant
in the amount of one million dollars from the MacArthur
(26:00):
Foundation as part of the Safety and Justice Challenge to
continue supporting the county's efforts to develop and implement strategies
capable of positively impacting the main drivers of the local
jail population. So essentially, they got a three million dollar
grant to reduce their jail population. The result of that
(26:23):
is this guy. And here's all of his mug shots,
counting with me one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
times two fourteen mug shots. This guy was led out
of prison and killed her for no discernible reason except
she's white. That's what the left has been pushing. Right.
(26:47):
You want it soft on crime, You wanted bail reform,
We got it. Wasn't worth it. This lady got stamped
in the throat riding a train home from work, her
job at a pizza station in the United States of America.
That is the country we're living in now. Is it
(27:09):
worth it? Is not getting called racist for opposing bail reform.
Worth it. Is not getting called racist for supporting defunding
the police. Worth it. That's been their cudgel. We need
to open the jails because it's all black people, and
you're racist if you don't support it. We need to
defund the police because they're just rounding up black people,
(27:30):
and you're racist if you don't support it. And so
many people across this country said, I don't want to
be racist. Let's let de Carlo what's his face? Junior
out on no bond, walked out of prison, stabbed a
lady in the throat. I don't know what I can
(27:51):
say about this that I haven't already. It's just disgusting,
it's despicable. It's so preventable. All we had to do
say any one of these fourteen crimes, you don't get
to come out of jail anymore. You clearly are not
able to be in society. Go to prison or go
to the gallows. How in the world did we get
(28:13):
to a point in the country. This is the country
that used to hang people for stealing horses, and now
you can commit fourteen different crimes and then be let
out of prison with no bail to go stab a
woman in the throat. How the hell did that happen?
Who voted for that? This isn't the country we were
(28:36):
sold on. This definitely is in the country that she
was sold on. She was told, if you come here,
you'll be safe from the war in your home and
you can build a life for yourself. She was lied
to buy the Democrats, damn them all. We're gonna be
talking about this more. We've got a lot more to
cover on this. Or stay tuned. We'll be back for
one more segment. Just man, all right. I had mentioned
(29:17):
that I kind of thought this young lady, this victim
of this ridiculous, preventable, disgusting, probably racially motivated murder. She
came to America, as far as I can tell, to
become an American. And again I mentioned this in the
(29:39):
last segment. We have sold the entire world on an
idea of what the American dream is. You can come
here from anywhere, you can work hard and become an
American and succeed. That's what we've sold our own people.
Work hard, and you can succeed, can have a nice,
(30:00):
fulfilling life here in this country. You can become anything
you want to be, unless you get murdered in the
neck on public transit. But we've put that message out
to the world, and it's one of the reasons we've
been so successful. People from all over the world in
times of hardship have come to America not just to
(30:22):
suck up on our welfare, but to work hard and
become an American. That's what it seems like. This Ukrainian
girl was doing so much so that her family has
told the authorities here in the United States, no, don't
bring her body back to Ukraine. She wanted to be
an American. Bury her in America. Here's the US attorney
(30:49):
who I guess is taking the lead on this from
the federal side, actually making that announcement at a press
conference yesterday.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But I hope the family won't mind me sharing.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
But after Arena's the embassy in Ukraine called and said,
we'll help you bring her home, and her family said no.
They said she loved America. We're gonna bury her here.
So I think we can give her an America to
be proud of. As mister Barnacle said, something here is
broken and we're here to fix it.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Something here is very broken because she should have been
able to come to America, work hard, and have a
good life for herself. She was clearly a hard worker.
You can see her. And she got murdered at her
pizza place uniform, in her pizza place uniform, on her
way home from work, clearly late at night. I don't
know the exact time this crime occurred, but it was.
(31:36):
It wasn't early in the day. She was coming home
from work at a pizza restaurant. You can see it
in the video. You can see her uniform. She was
clearly a hard worker. She should have been able to
build a good life here. She is exactly the type
of immigrants we want. Never may it be said I'm
anti immigrant, I'm anti specific types of immigrants. She's the
(32:01):
type of immigrant that I support. And want more of.
We want people who share our values of hard work
and safety to come to this country, work hard, and
become Americans. Clearly something she was trying to do before
she was freaking murdered. Be mad about this. This is
something it's good to be mad about. Anyway. There's been
(32:21):
two responses to this. There's been the response from normal
people who are pissed off about this and want justice.
That's what I want to talk about a little bit. Here.
Here's the US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina,
Russ Ferguson, just swim a minute ago, announcing federal charges
(32:42):
against this guy who committed this crime. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
As a native of Charlotte, I'm so sad to say
that our city has gotten to this place. I was
born here, I grew up here. I remember when the
light rail was built.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's the light rail that this woman was murdered on.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
By the way, I remember, the development is spurt. I
remember the excitement, and to think now that you can't
even feel.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Comfortable riding that train hits me deep.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
The light rail brought this city access to jobs, access
to education.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
People could take the train to college.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It really put Charlotte on the map, and this incident
has really really entered that. Now, the Carlos Brown Junior,
who we allege stabbed Erna Sarutska, is in state custody
on first degree murder charges. But I'm here today to
announce that we're going to supplement those state charges with
federal charges. These federal charges will go alongside the murder
(33:39):
case and state court, and we hope that they will
insure justice for Erna, for her family.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
And for the whole Charlotte community.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
The charge we are bringing is in Title eighteen, which
is the Criminal Code. It's section nineteen ninety two A seven,
which is the law that Congress passed really for this situation.
It is an act of violence on a mass transportation system.
It is a law that is there because acts like
this affect the American way. It affects our daily life.
It is random acts on a train that are the
(34:09):
thoroughbred and how we get through our cities to work
to or places of education for our families.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
It is our way of American life.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Crime makes people stop taking that light rail, that give
up those opportunities. And we're here to be sure that
we can save our city and bring those opportunities back.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
That's exactly what you want to see. You want to
see everybody throwing the book. Anyone with a little bit
of jurisdiction should hit this man with any charge they
can come up with. Make sure that if he gets
out of that local jail again, he goes into a
federal one. I believe. Yeah. I hate crime investigation is
(34:46):
also underway right now, and that kind of gets to
another major aspect of this. There is a racial aspect here.
A lot of people are uncomfortable saying that because it's
been made taboo. We have to talk about it because
if we don't, more people are gonna die. And frankly,
that's what I'm more concerned about here. All the evidence
(35:07):
seems to point to the fact that this black man
killed this white woman just because she was white. The
left will try to blackmail you and tell you that
there's no evidence of that. Clearly there's enough for federal
authorities to investigate it. I don't think I have the
time to play that announcement, but here it is, you
can find it. I'll repost it right now. Benny Johnson
(35:28):
posted the video, so it's out there. Go watch it.
Van Jones got on CNN and he said that Charlie Kirk,
who was one of the ones to point this out yesterday,
that there is a racial aspect here. Van Jones says,
there's no evidence of that. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We don't know why that man did what he did.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
And for Charlie Kirk to say we know he did
it because she's white, when there's no evidence of that,
it's just pure race mongering, hate mongering.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
It's not race mongering. It's not hate mongering. We do
know it was racially motivated, and we do have evidence
of it. Here he is, right after he stabbed her,
by the way, walking around on this train, saying, I
got that white girl. I told you i'd play you
the audio here. It is. It's kind of hard to
(36:26):
make out over the kind of background noise because this
is a CCTV camera, but you can hear him say it,
I got that white girl. There's no evidence this was
racially motivated. You know what, I don't give it him.
Call me whatever you like. There he is saying it
right there, I got that white girl. Flip the racist
for me. Let's do this little thought exercise. If a
(36:49):
white man stabs a black girl, in the nag on
public transit and then does laps around the train, going
I got that black girl? Is that racist? Clearly it is.
There is no evidence that this wasn't racially motivated. What's
even more gross is the fact that there were immediately
gofundmes for this guy. Go fund me pulls horrific fundraisers
(37:12):
for x Cohn to Carlos Brown, what do you mean
x khn active con right now accused of murdering Ukrainian
refugee on train? Go fund me has yanks sickening online
fundraisers for the maniac accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee on
a North Carolina train. Fundraising pages suggested to Carlos Brown Junior,
a career criminal with no fewer than fourteen arrests, is
(37:33):
just a victim. Helping the thirty five year old homeless
suspect would also support the fight against the quote racism
and biased against our people. This is disgusting. This man
is not a victim, This man is the perpetrator. Well,
(37:54):
what happened on the Blue Line was a tragedy. We
mustn't lose sight of the fact that Carlos Brown Junior
was failed gegorically by the judicial system. Really, he was
the fourteen time career criminal who murdered this woman on
a train for no damn reason. He's the one that
was failed by the justice system. Not the woman who
was stabbed in the neck by a guy that had
(38:16):
been in prison fourteen times and let out on no bail.
The guy that killed her. That's the one that was
failed by the justice system. Have you lost your goddamn mind?
And the answer is yes, the left has. They don't
give a damn about public safety. They don't give a
damn about you. They care about the agenda, and they
will call you racist if you challenge their agenda. I
(38:39):
don't care anymore. This is wrong. Allowing this is wrong.
That's all I got for you. I hope the Sunday
show is better than this one because this was a
hard topic and it's not a fun show, and I'm
sorry to bring it to you, but it's important we
had to talk about it. Hopefully we'll have something better Sunday,
seven Amline fifty KPRC. I'll see there.
From the heart of the Space City to the heart
of gen Z. Welcome to Next Gen Conversation, not Dad's
Talk Radio. Ethan talks to you about the issues and
events that men.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Are to our generation.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
This is the Next Gen Report put Ethan Buchanan.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey, everybody, welcome, Welcome to the Next Gen Report with
me Ethan Buchanan. It's cooler when he says it. I
don't know how some people are gifted with voices like that.
But you could ask that guy to record himself saying literally,
whatever you want over whatever backing track you want, and
(00:44):
it is going to sound awesome. Meanwhile, I try to
do it and I sound like a door. That's fine.
Some people are blessed with certain things. Some people aren't.
It's whatever. Anyway, Welcome guys, Thank you for watching or
tuning in or listening whatever it is you're doing. We're
available everywhere, by the way, so if you're listening right now,
you can go watch if you prefer that, the Next
(01:05):
Gen Report or Ethan Buchanan. Search it on YouTube you'll
find the show, or of course at Underscore Ethan Buchanan
on x I upload the entire video of the show
there on x on Twitter, so you can find it
right there, very easy to find, very fun to watch,
at least I think I enjoy watching it, but maybe
that's just because I made it. It's like a baby,
(01:26):
you know. I can't call my own child ugly. But anyway,
what do we got going on? We've got a lot.
I'm gonna start off by talking about some more fun
stuff because we're gonna have to talk about some really
serious stuff and I'm gonna get very worked up and
pissed off about it later. I can already feel it
boiling up inside of me. So we're gonna start by
talking about the fun stuff and the hard hitting, heavy
(01:47):
stuff that'll be a little bit later in the show.
So let's start off with some bad news and then
some good news, and then we'll just have a fun
chat for starters. We all remember the cracker barrel debacle.
It wasn't that long ago. I talked about it a lot.
You can go find those shows wherever. All right, I
feel like we had all kind of collectively as a
society come to the decision that hey, corporate minimalist logo
(02:11):
rebrands are not good. Ever, when anybody does it right,
I thought we all kind of cleared that up. Cracker
Barrell did it, everybody hated it, and they undid it.
Apparently the City of Austin didn't get that message. They
immediately turned around and did the same thing Cracker Barrel did.
This is City of Austin, Texas. Looks like a homeless
(02:31):
tent Austin residence blast updated one point one million dollar
city logo. First of all, that is a bonkers price tag.
Here's the logo. It's literally just a stylized letter A.
And by stylized, I mean it's just lines. If you're watching,
you can see it. If you're listening, you can't go
(02:52):
look it up. I mean I could have done this
for free. I would not have charged someone money for this.
The City of Austin paid one point one million dollars.
That is bonkers. And on top of being bonkers, it's
an insane waste of taxpayer money. Imagine you're the Austin
city populace the voters and you realize this is what
(03:14):
your tax dollars are being spent on. You can see
the old logo before. It's actually kind of cool. It's
got a little lamp on it. It's got a cross up
at the top, there's a little banner hanging down. There's
something going on. It's got personality. It says City of Austin,
founded in eighteen thirty nine. It's nice, right. It gives
you maybe some sort of hint about what the culture
(03:34):
and history of the city is, some identity, right versus
this one just I don't know how to describe this
other than awful. It's just awful. And they paid one
point one million dollars for it. That's unbelievable. Anyway, I
mentioned Cracker Barrel and we had talked about this before,
(03:55):
about how their logo was only half the problem. The
other half of the problem was their corporate minimalist rebrand
that they did of the interior of the restaurants. Well,
they're walking that back now too. No, Cracker Barrel does
not need my location. Get out of here. I will
find your location, Cracker Barrel. So we had talked about
(04:18):
how bad the Cracker Barrel interior redesign was. And you
can go watch that video. You can go see or
listen or whatever. You can actually see the side by
side of the old Cracker Barrel in the new Cracker Barrel.
And we complained about that as well, and they're walking
that back too, which is good. Here's the statement they
(04:39):
put out on their website. You shared your voices in
recent weeks, not just on our logo, but also on
our restaurants. We're continuing to listen. Today, we're suspending our remodels.
If your restaurant hasn't been remodeled, you don't need to worry.
It won't be great great. That's all we wanted. Leave
good Enough alone. We heard clearly that modern remodel designs
(05:01):
do not reflect what you love about Cracker Barrel. No
freaking kidding. We had tested this design in only four
out of six hundred and sixty locations, and we won't
continue with it good. What's shocking here is if you
remember the Cracker Barrel CEO was going on and on
about how much people love this. Remember we played that
cut on ABC again, Go back and listen to it.
(05:23):
She was talking about how, oh, everybody loves these remodels.
We have people coming up to us and saying, hey,
how do I get a remodel at my store? So
it kind of looks like you were lying the whole time,
but we knew you were. The vintage Americana you love
will always be there. The rocking chairs on the porch
are fireplaces and peg games, unique treasures in our gift shop,
(05:43):
and antiques pulled straight from our warehouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.
We want you to have a warm, welcoming space for
friends and family to gather and enjoy our cravable food
and country hospitality.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Good job Cracker Burrough credit where it's due. They made
a mistake, they walked it back. I can respect that.
I can respect that. I do respect that I do.
I will reward Cracker Barrel with my business. I was
talking with my wife about this earlier today I saw
these headlines, or I guess this would have been yesterday
when they announced all this, But I was telling her,
(06:19):
we need to go to Cracker Brough. We do because
it's one thing to look at a company and say, hey,
why are you doing this thing? We hate it. We're
not going to shop here anymore. That's the stick, right.
You then have to counter that with a carrot. There
has to be an alternative if you want these companies
to actually do what you want right. If you don't
(06:41):
want companies to go woke, you not only have to
punish the companies that do go woke, but you have
to reward the companies that don't. Cracker Barrel kind of
dip a toe into the wokeness, and now they're pulling
it back out. Fair enough, you tested the waters. I'm
not going to fight you on that. What's done is
but you're walking it back. You're bringing back what we
(07:03):
love about Cracker Barrel, and I like that. I do,
so I will be going to Cracker Barrel, probably sometime
in the next day or two, just to reward them
with a little bit of my business, and also because
this has been a good reminder that I actually do
really enjoy Cracker Barrel and I haven't had their food
in a while. I want to go back, and I
want to give it a try. So I'm gonna be
(07:23):
doing that. I encourage you to to. If this was
an issue that you got up in arms about, you
threw a tempera tanis from online, just like I did
about Cracker Barrel's rebrand. Now that they're walking it back,
give them the carrot. You gave them the stick, now
go give them the carrot. I think that's fair. All right.
We have got quite a bit coming up in just
a minute. We're going to be talking about some listener
feedback that we got, so that'll be fine. Stay tuned.
(07:45):
We'll be right back after this quick break with more
of the Next Gen Report. Alrighty, I've got something that
(08:23):
I've been wanting to kind of talk about for a
long time, and it's a It's an area where I
kind of split off from a lot of the kind
of more mainstream, kind of right wing base. I don't
like the idea necessarily of term limits. I understand why
(08:47):
we need it for the presidency. That's a lot of
power to have concentrated in one place, so for one
person to just hang on to it forever, I don't
know if that's necessarily healthy, even if the people really
want that person to right so that hey, two terms,
(09:07):
eight years, you're done. I think that kind of makes sense.
I like that idea, but for the kind of senators
and the representatives of the world, those kind of lower
level elected officials, you always hear how much we need
term limits, and they'll point to examples of just ancient
people that have been in office forever. Nancy Pelosi comes
(09:30):
to mind, the dude out of Kentucky, the Turtle, Mitch
McConnell comes to mind, and there are a bunch of
other examples of people that have just been in office
forever and they're terrible people. They you know, don't really
do a good job. There's serious questions that need to
be asked about their health or metal capacity or what
(09:51):
have you. And they'll say, oh, we need term limits.
Maybe maybe, But I tend to just think we need
smarter voters, right. And I posted this on Twitter and
I got some interesting feedback, and I want to talk
about it now. I've told you for a number of
times on this show, go follow me on Twitter, interact
(10:13):
with me on Twitter, share with me your thoughts. This
is why I need content. So a bunch of people
are going to become content today and we're going to
have an actual discussion because I got some interesting feedback
that I liked on this, so we're gonna talk about it.
So here's the post hot take. Term limits are a
cop out for lazy voters who want to complain but
don't want to put in the work to research and
(10:35):
support primary candidates. And I do truly believe that because listen,
here's an objective fact. It's a lot easier to say,
oh gosh, I can't believe so and so is at
it again. We need term limits to get them out
of office. It's a lot easier to say that on
X or Facebook or the radio or wherever you say
it than to actually sit down and say, Okay, who
(10:59):
is actually all of the best candidates out of all
of the people running, and how are they going to
perform an office based on their past record, and what
kind of data do we have on that to kind
of gauge how we think so and so is going
to vote on X issue in office, and then to
go out and actually do the work of door knocking
and campaigning and calling people and saying, hey, I think
(11:20):
you should vote for this person, and here's why. That's difficult.
I know because I've done it. I've worked on political campaigns,
not a lot, but I've done it quite a bit.
I've done that kind of door to door door knocking
and walking up to voters and saying, hey, here's this candidate,
here's why you should vote for them. I'm by no
means an expert at it. I haven't done it extensively,
but I've done it. I have experience. I know it's hard. However,
(11:43):
it's necessary. I think the call for term limits. That's
just people who don't want to do that work and
don't want to be responsible for it, trying to find
a cop out. I believe that. So let's talk about
some of the feedback that we got. Zabon Hurricane On
(12:03):
X said, how about the opposite snap elections on demand,
make it so that with a petition, any representative, senator, governor,
or the president can be replaced at any time. I
don't hate the idea, especially not for those lower level offices,
but like I said to Zabon or Zibon or however
(12:26):
you pronounce his name, I think for the office of
the presidency, that should be a little bit more stable,
just because that's a lot more going on rights, that's
thinking a lot more long term. You need a while
to put into place plans at the presidential level and
then see the results. So I don't necessarily think that
(12:49):
that's fair for the presidency, but for a stay representative maybe,
or even a representative in the US Congress if they
vote away you don't like and you want to say, oh, okay,
I'm recalling them right now. I don't hate that idea.
I believe the system in the UK is somewhat similar
to that, but not exactly. I'm not a I'm not
(13:10):
an expert on the parliamentary system, but I think they
do something kind of similar to a certain extent. I
don't hate that idea for certain levels. John Watt says,
your comment has merrit but we need some limits and
be able to avoid people hanging on for twenty five, thirty,
or even forty years, and certainly not fifty like Sleepy Joe. Okay,
(13:32):
but do we And here's the counterpoint that I always
raise to this, What if somebody really likes their representative.
What if someone's representative is doing a very good job right,
Let's say, for example, Thomas Massey. You can think whatever
(13:53):
you like about Thomas Massey. He said some things even
recently that I don't agree with. I tend to like
Thomas quite a bit, and I know he's very popular
in his district. So let's say, for example, and this
is all hypothetical, that Thomas Massey's voters keep liking what
he's doing, what he's standing for, how he's voting in Congress,
(14:14):
and they keep electing him, and nobody else is coming
up that those voters like. Should they be forced to
get rid of Thomas Massey if they want him to
represent them and then he's doing a good job, I
would say probably not. If you like your representative, you
should be able to keep your representative. I, for one,
(14:37):
really like Ted Kruz as a senator here in Texas.
Unless he does something drastic that he hasn't done yet,
I'll probably vote for him as long as he's up
and nobody better runs, right and anytime he has a
primary challenger, I'll take a look at that primary challenger.
If he does something that I don't like and he
(14:57):
doesn't have a primary challenger, I'll start looking for people
who are considering it and encouraging them to run. But
as of right now, I like Ted Cruz and if
he runs again, I'll vote for him again because I
think he's doing a good job. He's representing me as
a Texan fairly well. So that's always my kind of
what are you do in those situations? Why would you
(15:18):
force someone to get rid of a representative they like?
And if you have a good reason or good example,
by all means, reach out to me. Let me know.
There's my ex page right here at Underscore. Ethan Buchanning
give me a comment, Shoot me a DM. I'd love
to hear from you. You can email me, by the way,
Thenext Gen Report at gmail dot com. Shoot me an
email there, let me know I'll read it. I think
he promised. I don't give that any emails. John Donahue said,
(15:41):
I think term limits and some serious campaign finance reform
is what could fix the broken political landscape. People are
allowed to become entrenched and their only motivation is reelection
to hold onto power. That does not serve people. It
only serves candidates. And he's right. That is a real problem,
people just becoming entrenched in politics and not doing anything
to serve the people. Here's the thing, though, as entrenched
(16:04):
as you are, you can always lose. It may be
very difficult to lose, but it can still be done.
At the end of the day, if enough voters say
you are not doing a good job, any person, no
matter how long they've been there, no matter how big
their war chest is, eventually will lose an election if
they do a bad enough job. That's just true. I
(16:28):
think this is another example of somebody going, oh, well,
we can't primary so and so. They're true in trench
they have too big of a war chest. Okay, well
have you even tried. Have you even tried? Have you
even tried to go and donate your time and your
money to an opposition candidate in the primaries? Oftentimes the
answer is no. So again, that's why I go to say,
(16:52):
I think it's a cop out. I think it's a
cop out lazy voters aka average IQ people who just
want to live there lives. And hey, if that's the case,
you don't have to tune into politics at all. But
you don't get to complain. If you just want to
live your life and you don't want to focus on
politics at all, that's just fun. I admire you. I
(17:13):
wish I was the same way. I'm addicted to politics
like it's crack and I hate it. But at the
same time, don't go complaining. Don't sit there and say, oh,
I've been stuck with this same representative for years and
years and years and I want a new one when
you wouldn't take the time to even go campaign. You
don't get to complain. If that's your attitude. You can
(17:34):
have that attitude. It's fine. I encourage it, but don't complain,
and don't sit there and blame term limits or whatever
because you won't do the work. That's not your fault
or that's not termine assault. Anyway, We've got a lot
to talk about in the next couple of segments, so
stay tuned. This is gonna be This is gonna be
the heavy one, So I don't want to spoil it.
We'll be right back, all right. I'm warning you now,
(18:18):
we're gonna be covering heavy topics in this segment. Probably
the next I'm gonna get mad about this. You've been warned.
If you're a sensitive person, if you don't like having
hard discussions, if you don't like people seeing angry, tune
out now. But if you want to hear important things
(18:40):
be said about an important situation, you're in the right place.
So in case you missed it, we're going to be
talking about the killing of a Ukrainian refugee, a young
woman who came to this country to escape the war
in her country, who was by as far as I
(19:03):
can tell and the research I've done, ready to become
a stand up, hard working American. Irena Zarutska. I'm almost
definitely saying her name wrong. Made the mistake of sitting
on a light rail train cart on her way home
from work from what I believe was working at a
(19:26):
pizza restaurant, bothering nobody, sitting in a train car with
her headphones in, just looking at her phone, not doing
a damn thing to anyone, and some guy who should
have been in prison, probably should have been executed already
(19:47):
for other crimes that he had committed for no discernible
reason other than he just hates white people, gets up,
stabs her in the neck, slits her neck open, and
lets her bleed out right there in train card while whispering,
I got that white girl, I got that white girl.
We don't know why he did it, bull crap. He
(20:09):
told us why he did it. But this is the case.
I'm gonna play you the video. Obviously it's been censored
a little bit, uh, because this is a very graphic video.
The full uncensored video where you see this woman get
sliced through the throat and watch her bleed out, is available.
It's online. It's easy to find. It's on x. If
(20:33):
you're a sensitive person, you should not go watch it,
but if you can stomach it, you should because you
need to understand the society that the left is trying
to push on us trying to mandate. They want you defenseless,
they want you murdered. There's no other reason, because that's
what happened to her, and it's a direct result of
every single policy that the Democrats have ever pushed. They
(20:55):
don't want you to be armed, they don't want criminals
in prison. They want you forced to take public trends
where you're a victim of all this garbage. Go watch
the video, get pissed off about it. I'm gonna play
you the censored version so that you know where we're
coming from and you don't throw up, because it is
(21:16):
sickening here it is. You can see her just sitting
there bothering, no one on her phone. Here's the perpetrator
right here. Watch this right there. It cuts out where
he actually goes in, but you can see here he
raises his hand. They cut a few frames. She's been
(21:37):
stabbed right here in the neck multiple times. This woman
is dead now, she's alive, but she's bleeding out. Look
real closely. This is the face of a woman who
knows she has died but hasn't quite bled out yet.
On this freaking train car. And watch all these people
(21:58):
just sitting there doing not a damn thing about it.
They do nothing in this corner here, not a thing.
He stands up, he follows the other guy. Look at her.
(22:18):
Look at that woman. Do you see her hands in
her face? That is a woman who knows she is
bleeding out and is going to die. She was murdered
on a public train car for no goddamn reason. She
did nothing to anybody on that train, and that guy
(22:42):
stood up and gutted her like a fish, and she
could do not a damn thing about it except sit
there and bleed. You should be furious, You should hate
people because of this. Look at her face. Even in
this video, you can see the tears on her face.
(23:05):
She came to America from Ukraine in wartime because she thought,
I can leave this war and I can build a
life for myself in what's supposed to be a free
and safe country. And what did she get for her trouble?
Stabbed in the throat by a man who should have
been in prison for life, if not executed already for
(23:27):
various other crimes. I told you should hate people. That's
probably the wrong word. You should have righteous anger at
this woman right here because she did it. This woman
has blood on her hands. This is Teresa Strokes. She's
(23:48):
an appointed magistrate judge. She was not elected by any
goddamn body. She was appointed to be a judge. And
she let this man, who had already been arrested fourteen
times out with no bail. She just let him walk
(24:12):
out of jail. And this is what we get. He
walks right out of jail for free, no bail, onto
this train and stabs this woman in the neck. Why
no reason other than she's white. And I'm not just
making that up. I'm not race bating. I've been calling
a lot of things in my life, but never a
(24:33):
race baider. He said that there's audio you can find it.
I might play in the next segment if I can
dig it up. It's all over X of him going
I got that white girl. And the left will say, oh,
but mental health. He had a mental health crisis. I
don't care. If you're so mentally unstable that you can't
(24:54):
so much sit on a train car with a woman
who's a different color than you without dabbing her in
the throat. You need to be in prison for life,
if not just executed, because there's a strong case to
be made that the taxpayers shouldn't be burdened with your
life just to keep you from murdering people. This is disgusting. Thankfully,
(25:18):
a lot of representatives in North Carolina have now signed
this letter calling for her to be removed. Great job, guys.
Now that she's let the guy out who killed a woman,
Now we're getting to it. Now we're solving the problem.
Now that she's already led a career criminal stab a
(25:39):
young woman in the throat and kill her. Now we'll
get this lady removed. Good job. Here's the guy. In
twenty twenty, Macklenburg County was awarded for its second grant
in the amount of one million dollars from the MacArthur
(26:00):
Foundation as part of the Safety and Justice Challenge to
continue supporting the county's efforts to develop and implement strategies
capable of positively impacting the main drivers of the local
jail population. So essentially, they got a three million dollar
grant to reduce their jail population. The result of that
(26:23):
is this guy. And here's all of his mug shots,
counting with me one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
times two fourteen mug shots. This guy was led out
of prison and killed her for no discernible reason except
she's white. That's what the left has been pushing. Right.
(26:47):
You want it soft on crime, You wanted bail reform,
We got it. Wasn't worth it. This lady got stamped
in the throat riding a train home from work, her
job at a pizza station in the United States of America.
That is the country we're living in now. Is it
(27:09):
worth it? Is not getting called racist for opposing bail reform.
Worth it. Is not getting called racist for supporting defunding
the police. Worth it. That's been their cudgel. We need
to open the jails because it's all black people, and
you're racist if you don't support it. We need to
defund the police because they're just rounding up black people,
(27:30):
and you're racist if you don't support it. And so
many people across this country said, I don't want to
be racist. Let's let de Carlo what's his face? Junior
out on no bond, walked out of prison, stabbed a
lady in the throat. I don't know what I can
(27:51):
say about this that I haven't already. It's just disgusting,
it's despicable. It's so preventable. All we had to do
say any one of these fourteen crimes, you don't get
to come out of jail anymore. You clearly are not
able to be in society. Go to prison or go
to the gallows. How in the world did we get
(28:13):
to a point in the country. This is the country
that used to hang people for stealing horses, and now
you can commit fourteen different crimes and then be let
out of prison with no bail to go stab a
woman in the throat. How the hell did that happen?
Who voted for that? This isn't the country we were
(28:36):
sold on. This definitely is in the country that she
was sold on. She was told, if you come here,
you'll be safe from the war in your home and
you can build a life for yourself. She was lied
to buy the Democrats, damn them all. We're gonna be
talking about this more. We've got a lot more to
cover on this. Or stay tuned. We'll be back for
one more segment. Just man, all right. I had mentioned
(29:17):
that I kind of thought this young lady, this victim
of this ridiculous, preventable, disgusting, probably racially motivated murder. She
came to America, as far as I can tell, to
become an American. And again I mentioned this in the
(29:39):
last segment. We have sold the entire world on an
idea of what the American dream is. You can come
here from anywhere, you can work hard and become an
American and succeed. That's what we've sold our own people.
Work hard, and you can succeed, can have a nice,
(30:00):
fulfilling life here in this country. You can become anything
you want to be, unless you get murdered in the
neck on public transit. But we've put that message out
to the world, and it's one of the reasons we've
been so successful. People from all over the world in
times of hardship have come to America not just to
(30:22):
suck up on our welfare, but to work hard and
become an American. That's what it seems like. This Ukrainian
girl was doing so much so that her family has
told the authorities here in the United States, no, don't
bring her body back to Ukraine. She wanted to be
an American. Bury her in America. Here's the US attorney
(30:49):
who I guess is taking the lead on this from
the federal side, actually making that announcement at a press
conference yesterday.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But I hope the family won't mind me sharing.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
But after Arena's the embassy in Ukraine called and said,
we'll help you bring her home, and her family said no.
They said she loved America. We're gonna bury her here.
So I think we can give her an America to
be proud of. As mister Barnacle said, something here is
broken and we're here to fix it.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Something here is very broken because she should have been
able to come to America, work hard, and have a
good life for herself. She was clearly a hard worker.
You can see her. And she got murdered at her
pizza place uniform, in her pizza place uniform, on her
way home from work, clearly late at night. I don't
know the exact time this crime occurred, but it was.
(31:36):
It wasn't early in the day. She was coming home
from work at a pizza restaurant. You can see it
in the video. You can see her uniform. She was
clearly a hard worker. She should have been able to
build a good life here. She is exactly the type
of immigrants we want. Never may it be said I'm
anti immigrant, I'm anti specific types of immigrants. She's the
(32:01):
type of immigrant that I support. And want more of.
We want people who share our values of hard work
and safety to come to this country, work hard, and
become Americans. Clearly something she was trying to do before
she was freaking murdered. Be mad about this. This is
something it's good to be mad about. Anyway. There's been
(32:21):
two responses to this. There's been the response from normal
people who are pissed off about this and want justice.
That's what I want to talk about a little bit. Here.
Here's the US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina,
Russ Ferguson, just swim a minute ago, announcing federal charges
(32:42):
against this guy who committed this crime. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
As a native of Charlotte, I'm so sad to say
that our city has gotten to this place. I was
born here, I grew up here. I remember when the
light rail was built.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's the light rail that this woman was murdered on.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
By the way, I remember, the development is spurt. I
remember the excitement, and to think now that you can't
even feel.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Comfortable riding that train hits me deep.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
The light rail brought this city access to jobs, access
to education.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
People could take the train to college.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It really put Charlotte on the map, and this incident
has really really entered that. Now, the Carlos Brown Junior,
who we allege stabbed Erna Sarutska, is in state custody
on first degree murder charges. But I'm here today to
announce that we're going to supplement those state charges with
federal charges. These federal charges will go alongside the murder
(33:39):
case and state court, and we hope that they will
insure justice for Erna, for her family.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
And for the whole Charlotte community.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
The charge we are bringing is in Title eighteen, which
is the Criminal Code. It's section nineteen ninety two A seven,
which is the law that Congress passed really for this situation.
It is an act of violence on a mass transportation system.
It is a law that is there because acts like
this affect the American way. It affects our daily life.
It is random acts on a train that are the
(34:09):
thoroughbred and how we get through our cities to work
to or places of education for our families.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
It is our way of American life.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Crime makes people stop taking that light rail, that give
up those opportunities. And we're here to be sure that
we can save our city and bring those opportunities back.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
That's exactly what you want to see. You want to
see everybody throwing the book. Anyone with a little bit
of jurisdiction should hit this man with any charge they
can come up with. Make sure that if he gets
out of that local jail again, he goes into a
federal one. I believe. Yeah. I hate crime investigation is
(34:46):
also underway right now, and that kind of gets to
another major aspect of this. There is a racial aspect here.
A lot of people are uncomfortable saying that because it's
been made taboo. We have to talk about it because
if we don't, more people are gonna die. And frankly,
that's what I'm more concerned about here. All the evidence
(35:07):
seems to point to the fact that this black man
killed this white woman just because she was white. The
left will try to blackmail you and tell you that
there's no evidence of that. Clearly there's enough for federal
authorities to investigate it. I don't think I have the
time to play that announcement, but here it is, you
can find it. I'll repost it right now. Benny Johnson
(35:28):
posted the video, so it's out there. Go watch it.
Van Jones got on CNN and he said that Charlie Kirk,
who was one of the ones to point this out yesterday,
that there is a racial aspect here. Van Jones says,
there's no evidence of that. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We don't know why that man did what he did.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
And for Charlie Kirk to say we know he did
it because she's white, when there's no evidence of that,
it's just pure race mongering, hate mongering.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
It's not race mongering. It's not hate mongering. We do
know it was racially motivated, and we do have evidence
of it. Here he is, right after he stabbed her,
by the way, walking around on this train, saying, I
got that white girl. I told you i'd play you
the audio here. It is. It's kind of hard to
(36:26):
make out over the kind of background noise because this
is a CCTV camera, but you can hear him say it,
I got that white girl. There's no evidence this was
racially motivated. You know what, I don't give it him.
Call me whatever you like. There he is saying it
right there, I got that white girl. Flip the racist
for me. Let's do this little thought exercise. If a
(36:49):
white man stabs a black girl, in the nag on
public transit and then does laps around the train, going
I got that black girl? Is that racist? Clearly it is.
There is no evidence that this wasn't racially motivated. What's
even more gross is the fact that there were immediately
gofundmes for this guy. Go fund me pulls horrific fundraisers
(37:12):
for x Cohn to Carlos Brown, what do you mean
x khn active con right now accused of murdering Ukrainian
refugee on train? Go fund me has yanks sickening online
fundraisers for the maniac accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee on
a North Carolina train. Fundraising pages suggested to Carlos Brown Junior,
a career criminal with no fewer than fourteen arrests, is
(37:33):
just a victim. Helping the thirty five year old homeless
suspect would also support the fight against the quote racism
and biased against our people. This is disgusting. This man
is not a victim, This man is the perpetrator. Well,
(37:54):
what happened on the Blue Line was a tragedy. We
mustn't lose sight of the fact that Carlos Brown Junior
was failed gegorically by the judicial system. Really, he was
the fourteen time career criminal who murdered this woman on
a train for no damn reason. He's the one that
was failed by the justice system. Not the woman who
was stabbed in the neck by a guy that had
(38:16):
been in prison fourteen times and let out on no bail.
The guy that killed her. That's the one that was
failed by the justice system. Have you lost your goddamn mind?
And the answer is yes, the left has. They don't
give a damn about public safety. They don't give a
damn about you. They care about the agenda, and they
will call you racist if you challenge their agenda. I
(38:39):
don't care anymore. This is wrong. Allowing this is wrong.
That's all I got for you. I hope the Sunday
show is better than this one because this was a
hard topic and it's not a fun show, and I'm
sorry to bring it to you, but it's important we
had to talk about it. Hopefully we'll have something better Sunday,
seven Amline fifty KPRC. I'll see there.
