Speaker 1 (00:02):
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 are to our generation. This is the
Next Gen Report.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
What Hey, everybody, good evening. Oh man, we got a
lot to talk about today.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I want to talk.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I want to start by talking about Kamala Harris, which
it feels like we shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Be doing, but we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
She is very desperately trying to wiggle her way back
into public life. We've talked about it before, she wrote
this book. She's on this book tour. Great by all
means give us more clips of her making a fool
of herself that we can then make fun of.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So that's what she's up to right now.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I just want you to kind of remember think back
to like twenty twenty three, mid to late twenty twenty three,
when everybody still thought that Joe Biden was going to
be the nominee, and everybody knew that Kamala Harris was unpopular.
I think we need to recenter that in our minds
because Kamala Harris seems to be under the impression that
(01:22):
she was at any point ever popular, which.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Was never the case. Nobody ever liked this woman.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But she thinks that at one point she was the
cat's pajamas, which she never was. So this is all
coming up because she's now hinting once again at running
for president. At this point, go for it, lady, honestly,
go for it. Knock yourself out. I would love to
see it. I would love to see jd Vance beat
(01:55):
the crap out of this woman politically on the national
stage by all means. Please make no mistake, if she
runs again, she will be the nominee. The Democrats will
nominate her. They cannot, to save their lives, let go
of the black woman candidate in favor of anybody else,
because all their other options are white guys.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They're not going to sideline the black woman in favor
of a white guy. They're too locked in on identity politics.
So if she runs, she will be the nominee. She
will face Jadie Vance, and she will get slapped around
like a wet fish. So let us hear her hinting
at a possible other presidential run just for kicksing giggles.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
In terms then of what is next for you?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
You write very powerfully about the difference this is with
a BBC by the way that many women have made
to your life, whether that was your meeting with Angela Merkel,
or the experience of growing up with your extraordinary mother,
or the stories of your baby nieces, Amara and Leela.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
When are they going to see a woman in charge
in the White House in their lifetime?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
For sure?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Could it be you? Possibly?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Possibly? I couldn't. No, we couldn't. Could it be you? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
No, No, it won't Comela.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Don't be silly.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Have you made a decision yet? No, I have not.
But you say in your book, I'm not done.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
That is correct. I am not done. I have lived
my entire career a life of service, and it's in
my bones and there are many ways to serve. I've
not decided yet what I will do in the future
beyond what I am doing right now.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
But you've been very clear that it's a possibility you
might run again to become president. And in my experienced
interviewing politicians, when someone says I'm not done, it means
they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look
at the Bookie's odds, they put you as an outsider
even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean, I'm sorry, that's.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When you look at the better nods, it's actually more
likely that Duayne the Rock Johnson will be president.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Before the former vice president. What do you have to
say about that? Nobody likes this woman.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That's why Dwayne the Rock Johnson, if nothing else, is
actually popular.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Kamala Harris is not. Oh god, I want to hear
how she responds to this. Please?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Is that underestimating you?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I think there are all kinds of polls that will
tell you a variety of things.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I'll have to listen to Poles.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
If I listen to Poles, I would have not run
for my first office or my second office, and I
certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Don't listen to polls. Yeah, we know you don't listen
to poles, lady, we know that. Oh my god, what.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Do you have to say about the fact that a
movie start in former w w restener has a better
chance to.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Be in the I don't listen to Poles. I don't care.
It's ridiculous. This woman thinks she can be the president.
She really does.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And again, just so we're all perfectly clear, she never
had a chance. She was never popular enough to run.
Nobody ever liked her. The fact that she made it
to the top of that ticket baffles me to this day.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And I'm not the only one.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Here's John Kennedy on with Adam Carolla saying the exact
same thing, Senator from Louisiana. Yeah, I said at the time,
she was not popular, she was not very smart.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Take a lism.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Well, some people have actually said I was the most
qualified candidate ever to run for president.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I like you. I like this.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Some people say very nice, but go ahead, I'm just
speaking fact.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, okay, So I'm curious of your reaction to that.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Well, I know the Vice President. We served in the
United State Senate together. We were on the Judiciary Committee together.
She was very scripted. I think she's a lovely person
and she's entitled to her opinion. But I have seen
(06:26):
the polling before she got in the race, and the
poll showed that most Americans looked at the Vice President
and thoughts themselves when her IQ gets seventy five, she
ought to sell.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
And he's right.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We knew at the time. We knew for years in
advance that she wasn't smart. She wasn't popular. That's why
even back in twenty twenty three. There it is April
twenty twenty three scoop inside Biden's strategy to repair Harris's image.
The Biden team, about six months into his term, locked
(07:03):
Kamala Harris in the closet and tried to hide her
from the world.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Why did he do that?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's because she was never popular. That's why she had
to drop out in twenty twenty before the primaries in California.
She was never a popular candidate. Joe Biden picked her
as a dei hire for vice president.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's what he did.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Joe Biden sailed to victory on the backs of probably
some fraud and the unrest in twenty twenty and then
the moment everybody realized that this doesn't actually work and
the only available option was Kamala Harris, she fell into
the candidate's role. She was never popular, She was never
anyone's first pick, so he never will be all right,
we got a lot coming up, so stay tuned. We
(07:46):
got a quick ad break and we'll be more or
will we be back with more of the next time
report on AM nine to fifty Key Piers, Hey, everybody
(08:20):
welcome back to the next gym report. Give me a
quick follow on X at Underscore Ethan Buchanon. There's a
lot of stuff that goes on there you're not gonna
want to miss out on. So if you're listening right now,
if you're driving in your car, pull off to the
side of the road. It's Sunday evening. You're not going
anywhere fast. Pull off to the side of the road,
Grab a quick parking lot. Maybe pop into a gas station,
grab yourself a White Monster Energy. We're not sponsored, by
(08:42):
the way, I just like want White Monster Energy. Stop in,
take a minute, pull off the road, give me a
quick follow on X at Underscore Ethan Buchanan. And if
you're listening at home on your home radio or on
the free iHeart Radio app, you don't obviously have to
go to a parking garage to follow me.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You can just do it right there and you lift
on your iPhone. It's amazing. All right, So let's talk
about the ballroom.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But before we talk about the ballroom, the White House
ballroom that Trump is building right now, I want to
start by saying this has been one of my favorite
weeks on Twitter, because this may be a character flaw
in myself. But I actually really enjoy the left watching
the left lose their minds over something stupid. They do
it all the time. So I live a pretty NXE life.
(09:25):
I gotta say, I have a lot of free entertainment.
But it's just nice. It's just nice watching them go
bananas about something that really doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
And that's what's happening here.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So they are super pissed off about the fact that
Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the White House
in order to build the White House Ballroom. So just
so we're clear on what's going on exactly, the East Wing.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Is all that's being destroyed. That's it.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's not like he's tearing down the entire White House
and rebuilding it in his own image. He's just tearing
down one small portion, maybe one third. And it's not
even like that historic, Like there's this idea that, oh,
it's the sacred East Wing, it's part of the White House.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
What is the East Wing?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, primarily it's office space, and not office space even
for the president.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's for the first Lady.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It was built in the forties because at the outset
of World War Two, the president was thinking, you know what,
we might need a bomb shelter nearby.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So here's what we'll do.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We'll build bomb shelter underground on the grounds of the
White House, and then we'll build the East wing on
top of it. So that's extra protection, and then it's
also extra cover. If people are going, hey, why is
there a bunch of construction, we can just say, oh,
we're building an office space. Don't worry about the bomb
shelter or just building an office space. It was, you know,
strategically necessary, I think during World War Two, but nowadays,
(10:56):
I just don't think it's that important. It's just not
all right, and it's really not all that historic. It's
less than ninety years old, and so we're demolishing it
to put up something that has a little bit more practicality,
a ballroom. Regardless, the left is going bananas. Here's Will Stancel.
I don't know who this guy is. I hadn't heard
of him until recently. I think he's just some you know,
(11:18):
online activist. He's from Minneapolis to there you go, but
he's he's been at the front lines of this Today.
Twitter is full neo Nazi, full of neo Nazis who
are sneering from behind their pseudonyms, celebrating the White House
being torn down because they don't care about America or
our history, because they're neo Nazis. So, just so we're clear,
(11:41):
the position of will stancel is, if you don't care
that much about an office space that's less than ninety
years old being demolished so that we can build something
that's far more practical.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
On top of it, you're a neo Nazi.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Fair enough. I guess I don't know what the connection
between those two things are. And he, of course he
posts the picture, Look how terrible this is. They've demolished
the East wing.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't care. I don't care, but this was the line.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Look at this unbelievable the movie theater and everything is
gone sickening because the white House movie theater was in
the East Wing of the White House. This is Christy
Jackson that posted that. And then he posted some pictures
as well of different presidents in the presidential movie theater.
(12:32):
How could evil Donald Trump tear down the sacred white
House movie theater. Really, that's what we're doing, That's what
we're doing. God forbid, the president can't have a sacred
white House movie theater. I guarantee you there's no film
the President might want to see that he can't watch
somewhere else. He can probably set up a big screen
(12:53):
in some chairs in the ballroom once it's done, too,
so it'll be fine, all right. Don't worry. The President
will still be able to watch his movies. These people
are ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
This is the deal.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They've chosen to die on the East Wing of the
White House. And like, you could argue that the West
wing is super historically significant. That's where the Oval Office is,
That's where the President's staff is.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Major world decisions have been made in the East wing.
That's actually a historic part of the White House. But
the East Wing is not the only interesting thing about
the East Wing is once a year, the first Lady.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Will put up some pretty Christmas decorations. That's it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
She can put those decorations up somewhere else. She can
decorate the ballroom. It's not that big of a deal.
But they're going bananas about this. Demolution cruise appeared to
finish taking down the bulk of the White House wing Thursday.
While President Donald Trump defended the project, he freaking he
didn't say freaking demolished half of the White House, and
(13:54):
not one Republican gave a crap fing traders. That's Andrew
I am the Resistance with no King's profile picture posted
that he demolished maybe one third of the White House
because there's the main residence, that's what you think of
when you think of the White House, and then there's
the West wing in the East wing.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
This doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But the left is going bananas about this. They're also
straight up lying about it. The official Democrat uh ex
account posted a picture of Caroline Levitt with a quote
from her saying the ballroom is the president's main priority.
And they just said why, And you know what, that's
an honest question. Why is the ballroom the president's main priority?
Because there's a lot going on in the world and
(14:33):
in the country, we've got a government shut down. I
would agree that the ballroom should not be the president's
main priority right now. So what did Caroline Levitt actually say, Well,
let's play the clip where she supposedly said this.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Go ahead, good idea, thank you, broom Rose.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Sorry.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
In addition to the ballroom in the Rose Garden patio,
is the president looking at any other renovations or significant
kind of projects here at the White House, not to
my knowledge, no, But he's a builder at heart, clearly,
and so his heart in his mind is always churning
about how to improve things here on the White House grounds.
But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom
is really the president's main priority.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So this was very clearly a question about does he
have any other construction plans or construction priorities right now?
It was clearly in the context and limitations of construction
and renovation at the White House, does the president have
any other priorities? No, the ballroom is his main priority,
which makes perfect sense in the context of you know,
(15:38):
what are his construction priorities.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I think there's a fair case to be made that
the ballroom should be the main priority.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But if we're talking about broad national, global political priorities,
obviously the ballroom shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
The Left knows this.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Robert Reach reposted this video and says, I can't believe
I'm saying this, but she's actually telling the truth, as in, oh,
I can't believe that the ballroom is actually the president's
main priority. He didn't even bother to deceptively edit the video.
He posted the full video, where you can clearly see
that she's saying construction of the ballroom is his main
(16:11):
construction and renovation priority. They're so aggressively dishonest. I don't
know how they think they're getting away with this, but
they're not. Nobody is buying this garbage because they're not
even trying. Again, it would have been easy to cut
this video down if you're trying to lie to people,
(16:32):
which is what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
They're trying to lie to the American people about this.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It would have been easy to cut this video to
make it sound like Caroline Levitt is saying Donald Trump's
only geopolitical priority right now is the ballroom, and that
would have probably done numbers on the internet. But they
didn't even bother to cut out the question that provides
(16:57):
the context. It's pathetic. It really is pathetic. We deserve
better propaganda we do. On top of that, the left,
make no mistake, does not care about this. They're just
trying to find whatever they can and they're being lazy
about it to throw at Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
You're really trying to convince me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
That the same people that didn't give a single damn
about historic one hundred and fifty two hundred year old
statues of our founding fathers being torn down and destroyed
by radical leftists four years ago are now suddenly super
concerned about the historic East wing of the White House.
I don't believe you. I don't believe you're sincere, and
(17:40):
you're demonstrating in real time that you aren't. All right,
we got a lot more coming up. We're gonna talk
about the shutdown in just a minute, so stay tuned,
listen to some quick ads. We're gonna tell you where
to do your shopping, and then we'll be right back
with more than Next Gen Report. I don't know what
(18:18):
it is about adulthood that makes rock music more appealing,
but I feel like since I've entered that stage of life,
I've gotten more into rock music.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Growing up in high school, I didn't used to ever
hardly listen to rock music.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
There was a couple of like kind of classic eighties
rock songs that I kind of liked, but I was
never just kind of in general a rock music guy.
But I think something about like hitting twenty just kind
of flipped a switch in me. I don't know what
it was, so yeah, for the last like two or
three years. I've been way into rock music. Anyway, government
shut down. We're day twenty six now. This is the
(18:53):
second longest in US history. We are nine days away
from breaking the record, so fingers crossed, we could do it. Yeah,
the record right now is thirty five days. Thirty five days.
We're on We're on pace. We're on pace. There doesn't
seem to be any any progress. And I want to
make sure this is perfectly clear to everyone listening to
(19:15):
the sound of my voice right now. This is the
Democrat's fault, and I'm baffled that I have to say this.
It's shocking to me that people don't know this. But
for those of you who don't know this, we need
sixty votes to end this. The Republicans do not have
(19:35):
sixty votes in the Senate. All right, so you can
say democrats all you want. The Republicans control the House,
the Senate, and the White House.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
This is their shutdown.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
They're technically right. The Republicans do control all three of
those things. But for this bill to pass through the Senate,
it requires, by rules, sixty votes.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
We do not have those sixty vote.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
We cannot pass anything without the Democrats' help.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
We just can't. This is the Democrat's fault. They are
blocking all of this.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
At any given time, they could say, all right, we'll
reopen the government here, and they could pass a cr
so that they don't have to cave to the Republicans.
They just reopen the government and keep negotiating. They could
do that at any time. They don't want to. This
is not the Republican's fault. We can't stop this, and
we're not going to let you hold the government hostage.
(20:30):
We're not going to give you an extra trillion dollars
of spending that we can't afford. We're not going to
give you more subsidies for Obamacare, which doesn't work, just
so that you'll reopen the government.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
The answer is no.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
If you want to negotiate for those things, we can
negotiate for them open the government first.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
But they don't want to do that. They literally don't
want to do that. They don't even want to pay people.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
There was an effort a couple of days ago to okay,
we can't passify bill to completely reopen the government.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But we've got people like the military, federal law.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Enforcement, and the FAA air traffic controllers that still have
to work and they're not getting paid. Can we at
least pass a funding bill for those guys? Just for
those guys. Here's the report from CBS News, not a
right wing outlet. The Senate failed to advance at GOP
backed measure that would pay federal employees, military members, and
(21:25):
contractors who have continued to work during the government shut down.
Now in day twenty four, this was old so the bill,
known as the Shutdown Fairness Act, introduced by GOP Senators
Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, needed Democrat support to reach sixty
votes required to advance. They even said it right there
in CBS it requires sixty votes. It fell short, with
(21:45):
it tally fifty four to forty five, with three Democrats
crossing the aisle, John Fetterman, John Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock.
There's no reason for them to vote against this other
than they want the political leverage. They want Americans to suffer.
They want Americans that work in these federal jobs to
have a rough time so that there's pressure on I
(22:08):
guess on the Republicans to cave to the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That's the stated goal. That's clearly the goal. I'm not
just making stuff up.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Here's who is this Lady Catherine Clark, Democratic whip of
the US House of Representatives.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
She openly says this in this clip. Take a listen.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will
be you know, families that are going to suffer. We
take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of
the few leverage times we have.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
I mean, she.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Said it right there.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Of course people are going to suffer and this is
going to be terrible, but hey, you gotta do what
you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Right, We don't have the majority, so we gotta get
what we want.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Somehow, this reminds me of that scene in Shrek when
Lord Farquaad is like, some of you may die, but
that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's what she's doing here. She's like, y'all.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Might starve, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I mean, it's ridiculous. They're openly saying that this is
what they're doing. Yeah, we gotta just wreck people financially
in order to.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Get what we want. And what's crazy is they're just
pushing for more spending.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
So not only are they trying to wreck people financially
in the short term, We're going to wreck you financially
by denying you a paycheck in the short term, so
that we can then turn around and spend billions more
dollars that we don't have, so that we can drag
the country further into debt and wreck future generations financially
as well. Isn't that wonderful? God bless the Democrat Party.
(23:52):
This is the crap they're doing, and they expect you
not to notice. They're also getting ready to run out
of funding. SNAP recipients told to buy self stable food
or go to food banks as funding deadline looms. So
we haven't passed any more funding, which means we can't
refill the SNAP in ebt cards, which means all the
people that rely on those are I guess completely sol Now.
(24:19):
I'll be honest. I grew up in a rather poor family.
I think is fair to say. I mean, we got by.
I never went hungry, but my mom had an EBT card.
I'm not ashamed of that. I will openly say I
don't think EBT can exist or should exist, but I'm
glad she had it when she had it, because it
got me food and she was very responsible with it.
(24:39):
She didn't just go buy a bunch of snack food
and garbage with it. She actually bought healthy foods with
the EBT card and used it to keep her children
from starving. So I can respect that, even if I
don't think EBT should exist. But recipients of Snap Food
Assistants benefits across the country face a looming deadline come
November first. Their cards may not get refilled because of
the government shut down in Washington.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
That's via NBC News. So what's the solution.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Here, Well, all of the entitled folks on EBT, which
is the majority of folks in EBT, are not just saying, well,
I'm just gonna go steal my food, That's what they're saying.
There's thousands of these videos online of people just saying
I'm gonna go steal.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Trump cutting off food stands right before Thanksgiving bad. But
my people are all right.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Trump ain't cutting off a darn thing. The Democrats are.
They could, They could undo this at any given moment,
but continue.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Run out of stores with the cart fool.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
I bet it's gonna be some turkey on my plate,
ham massed potatoes, greens dress and it's gonna all be here.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So I'm just gonna steal. I'm just gonna fill out
my cart and scamper out the store. That's just one.
There's thousands of these videos.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
All I know is if they stop my food stamps,
me and my man will.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
Be at the grocery store walking out with two back
to big guys carts and they ain't betting. Nobody's better nothing.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Come.
Speaker 11 (26:00):
My man kame my heart behind me, and it only
take him one time to putch your ass.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So not only are we going to just steal if
we can't get our EBT benefits, We're gonna turn around
and assault you if you try to stop us from stealing.
When I tell you, a lot of the people on
EBT are just entitled folks. I'm not just making stuff up.
They clearly are. They think they have a right to
(26:29):
your tax dollars. Now you can say, hey, this is
you know, something that's important for us to do. It's
charity or whatever. I don't think the government has a
role in charity. I don't think that Davy Crockett didn't
think that. I'm not kidding, he spoke out about this.
I don't think government has a role in charity, and
even if it is charity, you don't have a right
(26:50):
to charity, no matter how bad your financial situation is.
Charity is something that is done out of a goodness
of someone's heart. It's a blessing, but it's not something
you have a right to. You don't deserve my tax
dollars to feed yourself, no matter how poor you are.
At no point, even when my mom was on EBT,
(27:12):
when I sit there and say, yes, I have a
right to this EBT. My mother has a right to
this EBT because she's poor, No, didn't. I was glad
at the time that the people of the United States
decided this was something worthwhile so that people who are
a little bit less financially well off can still afford
to buy some food.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That was great, That was very generous of the people
of the United States. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Nobody has a right to it, and these people think
they do.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
And again, there's thousands of these videos.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I picked two that were clean enough for me to
actually play on the radio because most of them, on
top of you know, displaying rampant entitlement, were also full
of explotives. And I could have just sitt and hit
the center button constantly, or I could have just not
played them. But this is what we're dealing with. These
(28:06):
people demand your tax dollars. They demand it, and I
abolish it. Abolish EBT. I have become so jaded by
these videos. Get rid of it. Let private charity fill
in the gap. I think maybe every person should, out
of the goodness of their own heart, go donate to
a food shelter. Take the time, spend a little money,
(28:28):
buy twenty dollars worth of groceries, drop it off at
a food shelter, and abolish EBT because I am sick
of these people that demand.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Your tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You do not have a right to the money I
worked for, while nine times out of ten you're just
sitting on your fat ass doing nothing. Go get a
job or starve. If you don't work, you don't eat.
That's in the Bible. I believe that. Anyway, we got
a lot to talk about in.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
The next last segment, so stay true and you're not
gonna want to miss it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
All Right, let's talk a little bit more about the
CBT situation.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
In the mix of all of the obnoxious videos of
entitled folks just saying well, I'm just gonna steal my groceries.
I found one video of a lady who was seemingly
just as pissed off about all of this as I was.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
And.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
She made essentially the same case I did. You are
not entitled to a thing, not a single thing, so
shut up. Here is this lady. I don't know who
this is. It's a TikTok video. The username that's listed
is Caramel Dove. I don't know who this lady is,
but I love her. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 12 (30:03):
You got people all over the internet talking about it.
If they don't get their food stamps next month, how
they gonna go into these people's stores and take what
they need? Talking all bold like people owe them something.
But I got a question. What makes you think that
you're entitled to take anything that you.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Ain't work for? You want another man or woman to.
Speaker 12 (30:25):
Get out there, plow a field, break their bags while
you sit.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Back and watch, and you want to eat off they labor.
The devil is a lie.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
That's what you call bold and titled warped way of thinking.
If you mad at anybody, talk to God about it,
because it's in his word. If a man chooses not
to work, then he should not eat. God never blesses idleness.
He blesses the works of our hands, not all of
these excuses in title mindsets coming out of our mouths.
You wouldn't let us move into your place, eat your food,
(30:58):
use your water, or sleep in your bed without your permission, right,
So why would you try to sit up here and
justify going into these people's stores that they built with
their sweat, hours and sacrifice. We gotta stop glorifying self
inflicted struggles. Get up off your behind and do what
they're asking you to do.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Twenty hours.
Speaker 12 (31:19):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
You do it with everything else.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
God feeds the birds, He just expects that the nets
bee build.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
So if you got questions, stop waiting for a handout,
stop moving your mouth, start moving them hands, because guess what,
if you don't work, it's nine times out of ten
you not gonna eat.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Ay Man, Dawdy, that's good stuff. I need to go
to black church. Oh my god, I.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Got goosebops from that.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That was amazing. I love that. And she makes an
important point.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
There is a difference between charity and entitlements, right, and
I think we've lost sight of that in modern America.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
We think of our.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Entitlement benefits as charity, and they they should be charity.
But charity shouldn't involve the government. If it involves the government,
it's not charity. It's just that simple. It's not charity.
It's somebody else that has been taxed, essentially being forced
by the government to give away their things that they've
(32:25):
worked for. Maybe that's money. And again, you should give
to charity. If you're in a financial place to do that,
you should. It is good, it is necessary. We're called
to do it by the Bible. But the government saying
I'm going to take your money, and if you don't
let me, I'm gonna put you in prison.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
And then that money I've.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Taken from you, I'm going to give to lazy people
who aren't working so that they can buy food.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
That's not charity. It's not Biblical.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I have some very strong opinions of this, and they
come actually from Davy Crockett. I mentioned this in the
last segment.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Davy Crockett.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yes, that Davy Crockett from the Alamo was a very
outspoken opponent of government charity. So take a listen to
So I want to read you this. This is called
not yours to give Davy Crockett and welfare. This is
a retelling of an actual instance that occurred. You can
look this up in the Congressional Archives and you can
actually read this speech in the Congressional Archives. So not
(33:22):
only is tax paid, government dictated welfare opposite to Christian charity,
it also flies directly in the face of the Constitution
of the United States.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Hero of the Alamo, Davy.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Crockett was a colonel in the Tennessee Regulars and was
elected to the House of Representatives from his native state.
That was before his part in the valiant defense of
the famed Alamo. He served three terms as a Congressman.
While Crockett was in Congress, a distinguished naval officer died,
leaving a widow. Members of the House proposed to appropriate
twenty thousand dollars of public money. And that was a
(33:54):
lot more back then, because remember we've had inflation since then.
Twenty thousand dollars of public money to get give to
the widow, to assure her welfare and to honor the
memory of the late officer. That's a noble enough cause, right,
This is a window her husband served the country. She
supposedly has no income will give her twenty thousand dollars
from the government to set her up right.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's nice. It's a nice idea, But is that the
role of government.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
No, Before you consider him heartless, Crockett opposed that appropriation
in such a persuasive term that it received only.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
A few votes and was defeated.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Before you consider him heartless, hear the facts which will
show he was just the opposite. Others before him had
said that the country owed the departed officer a debt.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Crockett reminded the House.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Of the countless men who had served their country with distinction,
but whom Congress had never admitted owing a cash debt.
In Crockett' speech before the House, he said the following
these aid Crockett's words. Again, this is verifiable. You can
go read this in the Congressional archive. I've done it,
mister Speaker. I have as much respect for the memory
we have the deceased as and as much sympathy for
(35:03):
the suffering of the living, if suffering there may be
as any man in this house. But we must not
permit our respect for the dead, or our sympathy for
a part of the living, to lead us into an
act of injustice in the balance of the living. I
will not go into argument to prove that Congress has
no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity.
(35:25):
Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the
right as individuals to give as much of our own
money as we please in charity, but as members of Congress,
we have no right to appropriate a dollar of public money.
And he goes on to saying this speech, Hey, I
will vote down this bill and give a week of
(35:46):
my pay as a congressman to this woman.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And of all of us do the same thing. If
we all say, instead.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Of appropriating public money to give to charity, we just
take a week of our own pay and give it
to this lady. It'll be way more than that, and
she'll be set up for life, and we won't have
set a terrible standard for the country.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Davy Crockett was right here.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
It is not the business of the federal government to
be taking public money and using it for charity. Public
money should be used to benefit the public, things like roads, bridges,
national defense. That's what the government should be spending money on,
not charity. David Crockett was right here, and I think
that applies even to EBT. Abolish EBT. I'm sick of
(36:30):
giving these people my money, and you should be too.
Go give private charity, not this garbage.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Anyway. I also wanted to mention this since we're talking
about the Alamo.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Kate Rogers is out as the Alamo Trust CEO amid
clash with Lieutenant Governor over the Alamo narrative. Now, this
is something we all need to pay attention to. The
Alamo is important to all.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Of us here in Texas. All right.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Here's how the Alamo operates. It is operated and managed
by the Alamo Trust. That's a nonprofit. It is owned
by the Texas General Land Office, which is a division of.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
The state of Texas. All right.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
So this was the lady that was responsible for most
of the day to day operations at the Alamo.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Here's what got her in trouble.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Some of her writings, and this goes back to the
narrative about oh, the Texas Revolution was about slavery, which
is a brain dead take. But she wrote here, oh
where is it? She essentially wrote in this letter and
you can read this. The Lieutenant Governor posted it on
Twitter that we need to use the Alamo as a
(37:30):
means to basically reconcile the evils of the past than
Lotti Dottie Dae. It's the same BLM narrative that we've
had since twenty twenty oh. Some of the Alamo defenders
held slaves. There was, you know, colonization, Lotti Dottie da
and the Alamo was part of that, and we need
to we need to teach about that at the Alamo.
(37:52):
No we don't, No, we don't. She makes the argument
that this needs to be a monument to reconciliate. That's
not what the Alamo is. It's not a monument to reconciliation.
I had made the point that the Alamo.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Is a warning, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
It is a warning to the people of Texas that, hey,
these liberties that you have, they cost something and you
might have to pay that cost again, all right, be warned.
One hundred and eighty nine people died here for your liberty,
and they were probably not the last ones in history
to do that. But it's also a warning to anyone
that would try to take our liberty and our freedom
(38:30):
in the state of Texas. It's a warning to them,
we will kill you, and we will die. We will
give our own life in the process of killing you
before we let you touch our freedom and liberty. That's
what the Alamo is. There's a time and place to
teach about the evils of slavery. It's not the Alamo,
all right, and anyone who thinks that it is the
Alamo shouldn't be anywhere near it. So thank god she's out.
(38:52):
That's all I've got for you. Thank you very much
for listening to the Next Gen Report. Tune into the
podcast can be follow an X out underscore Ethan Buchanan
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 are to our generation. This is the
Next Gen Report.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
What Hey, everybody, good evening. Oh man, we got a
lot to talk about today.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I want to talk.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I want to start by talking about Kamala Harris, which
it feels like we shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Be doing, but we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
She is very desperately trying to wiggle her way back
into public life. We've talked about it before, she wrote
this book. She's on this book tour. Great by all
means give us more clips of her making a fool
of herself that we can then make fun of.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So that's what she's up to right now.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I just want you to kind of remember think back
to like twenty twenty three, mid to late twenty twenty three,
when everybody still thought that Joe Biden was going to
be the nominee, and everybody knew that Kamala Harris was unpopular.
I think we need to recenter that in our minds
because Kamala Harris seems to be under the impression that
(01:22):
she was at any point ever popular, which.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Was never the case. Nobody ever liked this woman.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But she thinks that at one point she was the
cat's pajamas, which she never was. So this is all
coming up because she's now hinting once again at running
for president. At this point, go for it, lady, honestly,
go for it. Knock yourself out. I would love to
see it. I would love to see jd Vance beat
(01:55):
the crap out of this woman politically on the national
stage by all means. Please make no mistake, if she
runs again, she will be the nominee. The Democrats will
nominate her. They cannot, to save their lives, let go
of the black woman candidate in favor of anybody else,
because all their other options are white guys.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They're not going to sideline the black woman in favor
of a white guy. They're too locked in on identity politics.
So if she runs, she will be the nominee. She
will face Jadie Vance, and she will get slapped around
like a wet fish. So let us hear her hinting
at a possible other presidential run just for kicksing giggles.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
In terms then of what is next for you?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
You write very powerfully about the difference this is with
a BBC by the way that many women have made
to your life, whether that was your meeting with Angela Merkel,
or the experience of growing up with your extraordinary mother,
or the stories of your baby nieces, Amara and Leela.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
When are they going to see a woman in charge
in the White House in their lifetime?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
For sure?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Could it be you? Possibly?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Possibly? I couldn't. No, we couldn't. Could it be you? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
No, No, it won't Comela.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Don't be silly.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Have you made a decision yet? No, I have not.
But you say in your book, I'm not done.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
That is correct. I am not done. I have lived
my entire career a life of service, and it's in
my bones and there are many ways to serve. I've
not decided yet what I will do in the future
beyond what I am doing right now.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
But you've been very clear that it's a possibility you
might run again to become president. And in my experienced
interviewing politicians, when someone says I'm not done, it means
they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look
at the Bookie's odds, they put you as an outsider
even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean, I'm sorry, that's.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When you look at the better nods, it's actually more
likely that Duayne the Rock Johnson will be president.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Before the former vice president. What do you have to
say about that? Nobody likes this woman.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That's why Dwayne the Rock Johnson, if nothing else, is
actually popular.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Kamala Harris is not. Oh god, I want to hear
how she responds to this. Please?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Is that underestimating you?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I think there are all kinds of polls that will
tell you a variety of things.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I'll have to listen to Poles.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
If I listen to Poles, I would have not run
for my first office or my second office, and I
certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Don't listen to polls. Yeah, we know you don't listen
to poles, lady, we know that. Oh my god, what.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Do you have to say about the fact that a
movie start in former w w restener has a better
chance to.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Be in the I don't listen to Poles. I don't care.
It's ridiculous. This woman thinks she can be the president.
She really does.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And again, just so we're all perfectly clear, she never
had a chance. She was never popular enough to run.
Nobody ever liked her. The fact that she made it
to the top of that ticket baffles me to this day.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And I'm not the only one.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Here's John Kennedy on with Adam Carolla saying the exact
same thing, Senator from Louisiana. Yeah, I said at the time,
she was not popular, she was not very smart.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Take a lism.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Well, some people have actually said I was the most
qualified candidate ever to run for president.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I like you. I like this.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Some people say very nice, but go ahead, I'm just
speaking fact.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, okay, So I'm curious of your reaction to that.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Well, I know the Vice President. We served in the
United State Senate together. We were on the Judiciary Committee together.
She was very scripted. I think she's a lovely person
and she's entitled to her opinion. But I have seen
(06:26):
the polling before she got in the race, and the
poll showed that most Americans looked at the Vice President
and thoughts themselves when her IQ gets seventy five, she
ought to sell.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
And he's right.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We knew at the time. We knew for years in
advance that she wasn't smart. She wasn't popular. That's why
even back in twenty twenty three. There it is April
twenty twenty three scoop inside Biden's strategy to repair Harris's image.
The Biden team, about six months into his term, locked
(07:03):
Kamala Harris in the closet and tried to hide her
from the world.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Why did he do that?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's because she was never popular. That's why she had
to drop out in twenty twenty before the primaries in California.
She was never a popular candidate. Joe Biden picked her
as a dei hire for vice president.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's what he did.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Joe Biden sailed to victory on the backs of probably
some fraud and the unrest in twenty twenty and then
the moment everybody realized that this doesn't actually work and
the only available option was Kamala Harris, she fell into
the candidate's role. She was never popular, She was never
anyone's first pick, so he never will be all right,
we got a lot coming up, so stay tuned. We
(07:46):
got a quick ad break and we'll be more or
will we be back with more of the next time
report on AM nine to fifty Key Piers, Hey, everybody
(08:20):
welcome back to the next gym report. Give me a
quick follow on X at Underscore Ethan Buchanon. There's a
lot of stuff that goes on there you're not gonna
want to miss out on. So if you're listening right now,
if you're driving in your car, pull off to the
side of the road. It's Sunday evening. You're not going
anywhere fast. Pull off to the side of the road,
Grab a quick parking lot. Maybe pop into a gas station,
grab yourself a White Monster Energy. We're not sponsored, by
(08:42):
the way, I just like want White Monster Energy. Stop in,
take a minute, pull off the road, give me a
quick follow on X at Underscore Ethan Buchanan. And if
you're listening at home on your home radio or on
the free iHeart Radio app, you don't obviously have to
go to a parking garage to follow me.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You can just do it right there and you lift
on your iPhone. It's amazing. All right, So let's talk
about the ballroom.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But before we talk about the ballroom, the White House
ballroom that Trump is building right now, I want to
start by saying this has been one of my favorite
weeks on Twitter, because this may be a character flaw
in myself. But I actually really enjoy the left watching
the left lose their minds over something stupid. They do
it all the time. So I live a pretty NXE life.
(09:25):
I gotta say, I have a lot of free entertainment.
But it's just nice. It's just nice watching them go
bananas about something that really doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
And that's what's happening here.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So they are super pissed off about the fact that
Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the White House
in order to build the White House Ballroom. So just
so we're clear on what's going on exactly, the East Wing.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Is all that's being destroyed. That's it.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's not like he's tearing down the entire White House
and rebuilding it in his own image. He's just tearing
down one small portion, maybe one third. And it's not
even like that historic, Like there's this idea that, oh,
it's the sacred East Wing, it's part of the White House.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
What is the East Wing?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, primarily it's office space, and not office space even
for the president.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's for the first Lady.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It was built in the forties because at the outset
of World War Two, the president was thinking, you know what,
we might need a bomb shelter nearby.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So here's what we'll do.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We'll build bomb shelter underground on the grounds of the
White House, and then we'll build the East wing on
top of it. So that's extra protection, and then it's
also extra cover. If people are going, hey, why is
there a bunch of construction, we can just say, oh,
we're building an office space. Don't worry about the bomb
shelter or just building an office space. It was, you know,
strategically necessary, I think during World War Two, but nowadays,
(10:56):
I just don't think it's that important. It's just not
all right, and it's really not all that historic. It's
less than ninety years old, and so we're demolishing it
to put up something that has a little bit more practicality,
a ballroom. Regardless, the left is going bananas. Here's Will Stancel.
I don't know who this guy is. I hadn't heard
of him until recently. I think he's just some you know,
(11:18):
online activist. He's from Minneapolis to there you go, but
he's he's been at the front lines of this Today.
Twitter is full neo Nazi, full of neo Nazis who
are sneering from behind their pseudonyms, celebrating the White House
being torn down because they don't care about America or
our history, because they're neo Nazis. So, just so we're clear,
(11:41):
the position of will stancel is, if you don't care
that much about an office space that's less than ninety
years old being demolished so that we can build something
that's far more practical.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
On top of it, you're a neo Nazi.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Fair enough. I guess I don't know what the connection
between those two things are. And he, of course he
posts the picture, Look how terrible this is. They've demolished
the East wing.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't care. I don't care, but this was the line.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Look at this unbelievable the movie theater and everything is
gone sickening because the white House movie theater was in
the East Wing of the White House. This is Christy
Jackson that posted that. And then he posted some pictures
as well of different presidents in the presidential movie theater.
(12:32):
How could evil Donald Trump tear down the sacred white
House movie theater. Really, that's what we're doing, That's what
we're doing. God forbid, the president can't have a sacred
white House movie theater. I guarantee you there's no film
the President might want to see that he can't watch
somewhere else. He can probably set up a big screen
(12:53):
in some chairs in the ballroom once it's done, too,
so it'll be fine, all right. Don't worry. The President
will still be able to watch his movies. These people
are ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
This is the deal.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They've chosen to die on the East Wing of the
White House. And like, you could argue that the West
wing is super historically significant. That's where the Oval Office is,
That's where the President's staff is.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Major world decisions have been made in the East wing.
That's actually a historic part of the White House. But
the East Wing is not the only interesting thing about
the East Wing is once a year, the first Lady.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Will put up some pretty Christmas decorations. That's it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
She can put those decorations up somewhere else. She can
decorate the ballroom. It's not that big of a deal.
But they're going bananas about this. Demolution cruise appeared to
finish taking down the bulk of the White House wing Thursday.
While President Donald Trump defended the project, he freaking he
didn't say freaking demolished half of the White House, and
(13:54):
not one Republican gave a crap fing traders. That's Andrew
I am the Resistance with no King's profile picture posted
that he demolished maybe one third of the White House
because there's the main residence, that's what you think of
when you think of the White House, and then there's
the West wing in the East wing.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
This doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But the left is going bananas about this. They're also
straight up lying about it. The official Democrat uh ex
account posted a picture of Caroline Levitt with a quote
from her saying the ballroom is the president's main priority.
And they just said why, And you know what, that's
an honest question. Why is the ballroom the president's main priority?
Because there's a lot going on in the world and
(14:33):
in the country, we've got a government shut down. I
would agree that the ballroom should not be the president's
main priority right now. So what did Caroline Levitt actually say, Well,
let's play the clip where she supposedly said this.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Go ahead, good idea, thank you, broom Rose.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Sorry.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
In addition to the ballroom in the Rose Garden patio,
is the president looking at any other renovations or significant
kind of projects here at the White House, not to
my knowledge, no, But he's a builder at heart, clearly,
and so his heart in his mind is always churning
about how to improve things here on the White House grounds.
But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom
is really the president's main priority.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So this was very clearly a question about does he
have any other construction plans or construction priorities right now?
It was clearly in the context and limitations of construction
and renovation at the White House, does the president have
any other priorities? No, the ballroom is his main priority,
which makes perfect sense in the context of you know,
(15:38):
what are his construction priorities.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I think there's a fair case to be made that
the ballroom should be the main priority.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But if we're talking about broad national, global political priorities,
obviously the ballroom shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
The Left knows this.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Robert Reach reposted this video and says, I can't believe
I'm saying this, but she's actually telling the truth, as in, oh,
I can't believe that the ballroom is actually the president's
main priority. He didn't even bother to deceptively edit the video.
He posted the full video, where you can clearly see
that she's saying construction of the ballroom is his main
(16:11):
construction and renovation priority. They're so aggressively dishonest. I don't
know how they think they're getting away with this, but
they're not. Nobody is buying this garbage because they're not
even trying. Again, it would have been easy to cut
this video down if you're trying to lie to people,
(16:32):
which is what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
They're trying to lie to the American people about this.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It would have been easy to cut this video to
make it sound like Caroline Levitt is saying Donald Trump's
only geopolitical priority right now is the ballroom, and that
would have probably done numbers on the internet. But they
didn't even bother to cut out the question that provides
(16:57):
the context. It's pathetic. It really is pathetic. We deserve
better propaganda we do. On top of that, the left,
make no mistake, does not care about this. They're just
trying to find whatever they can and they're being lazy
about it to throw at Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
You're really trying to convince me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
That the same people that didn't give a single damn
about historic one hundred and fifty two hundred year old
statues of our founding fathers being torn down and destroyed
by radical leftists four years ago are now suddenly super
concerned about the historic East wing of the White House.
I don't believe you. I don't believe you're sincere, and
(17:40):
you're demonstrating in real time that you aren't. All right,
we got a lot more coming up. We're gonna talk
about the shutdown in just a minute, so stay tuned,
listen to some quick ads. We're gonna tell you where
to do your shopping, and then we'll be right back
with more than Next Gen Report. I don't know what
(18:18):
it is about adulthood that makes rock music more appealing,
but I feel like since I've entered that stage of life,
I've gotten more into rock music.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Growing up in high school, I didn't used to ever
hardly listen to rock music.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
There was a couple of like kind of classic eighties
rock songs that I kind of liked, but I was
never just kind of in general a rock music guy.
But I think something about like hitting twenty just kind
of flipped a switch in me. I don't know what
it was, so yeah, for the last like two or
three years. I've been way into rock music. Anyway, government
shut down. We're day twenty six now. This is the
(18:53):
second longest in US history. We are nine days away
from breaking the record, so fingers crossed, we could do it. Yeah,
the record right now is thirty five days. Thirty five days.
We're on We're on pace. We're on pace. There doesn't
seem to be any any progress. And I want to
make sure this is perfectly clear to everyone listening to
(19:15):
the sound of my voice right now. This is the
Democrat's fault, and I'm baffled that I have to say this.
It's shocking to me that people don't know this. But
for those of you who don't know this, we need
sixty votes to end this. The Republicans do not have
(19:35):
sixty votes in the Senate. All right, so you can
say democrats all you want. The Republicans control the House,
the Senate, and the White House.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
This is their shutdown.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
They're technically right. The Republicans do control all three of
those things. But for this bill to pass through the Senate,
it requires, by rules, sixty votes.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
We do not have those sixty vote.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
We cannot pass anything without the Democrats' help.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
We just can't. This is the Democrat's fault. They are
blocking all of this.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
At any given time, they could say, all right, we'll
reopen the government here, and they could pass a cr
so that they don't have to cave to the Republicans.
They just reopen the government and keep negotiating. They could
do that at any time. They don't want to. This
is not the Republican's fault. We can't stop this, and
we're not going to let you hold the government hostage.
(20:30):
We're not going to give you an extra trillion dollars
of spending that we can't afford. We're not going to
give you more subsidies for Obamacare, which doesn't work, just
so that you'll reopen the government.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
The answer is no.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
If you want to negotiate for those things, we can
negotiate for them open the government first.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
But they don't want to do that. They literally don't
want to do that. They don't even want to pay people.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
There was an effort a couple of days ago to okay,
we can't passify bill to completely reopen the government.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But we've got people like the military, federal law.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Enforcement, and the FAA air traffic controllers that still have
to work and they're not getting paid. Can we at
least pass a funding bill for those guys? Just for
those guys. Here's the report from CBS News, not a
right wing outlet. The Senate failed to advance at GOP
backed measure that would pay federal employees, military members, and
(21:25):
contractors who have continued to work during the government shut down.
Now in day twenty four, this was old so the bill,
known as the Shutdown Fairness Act, introduced by GOP Senators
Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, needed Democrat support to reach sixty
votes required to advance. They even said it right there
in CBS it requires sixty votes. It fell short, with
(21:45):
it tally fifty four to forty five, with three Democrats
crossing the aisle, John Fetterman, John Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock.
There's no reason for them to vote against this other
than they want the political leverage. They want Americans to suffer.
They want Americans that work in these federal jobs to
have a rough time so that there's pressure on I
(22:08):
guess on the Republicans to cave to the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That's the stated goal. That's clearly the goal. I'm not
just making stuff up.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Here's who is this Lady Catherine Clark, Democratic whip of
the US House of Representatives.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
She openly says this in this clip. Take a listen.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will
be you know, families that are going to suffer. We
take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of
the few leverage times we have.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
I mean, she.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Said it right there.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Of course people are going to suffer and this is
going to be terrible, but hey, you gotta do what
you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Right, We don't have the majority, so we gotta get
what we want.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Somehow, this reminds me of that scene in Shrek when
Lord Farquaad is like, some of you may die, but
that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
That's what she's doing here. She's like, y'all.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Might starve, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I mean, it's ridiculous. They're openly saying that this is
what they're doing. Yeah, we gotta just wreck people financially
in order to.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Get what we want. And what's crazy is they're just
pushing for more spending.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
So not only are they trying to wreck people financially
in the short term, We're going to wreck you financially
by denying you a paycheck in the short term, so
that we can then turn around and spend billions more
dollars that we don't have, so that we can drag
the country further into debt and wreck future generations financially
as well. Isn't that wonderful? God bless the Democrat Party.
(23:52):
This is the crap they're doing, and they expect you
not to notice. They're also getting ready to run out
of funding. SNAP recipients told to buy self stable food
or go to food banks as funding deadline looms. So
we haven't passed any more funding, which means we can't
refill the SNAP in ebt cards, which means all the
people that rely on those are I guess completely sol Now.
(24:19):
I'll be honest. I grew up in a rather poor family.
I think is fair to say. I mean, we got by.
I never went hungry, but my mom had an EBT card.
I'm not ashamed of that. I will openly say I
don't think EBT can exist or should exist, but I'm
glad she had it when she had it, because it
got me food and she was very responsible with it.
(24:39):
She didn't just go buy a bunch of snack food
and garbage with it. She actually bought healthy foods with
the EBT card and used it to keep her children
from starving. So I can respect that, even if I
don't think EBT should exist. But recipients of Snap Food
Assistants benefits across the country face a looming deadline come
November first. Their cards may not get refilled because of
the government shut down in Washington.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
That's via NBC News. So what's the solution.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Here, Well, all of the entitled folks on EBT, which
is the majority of folks in EBT, are not just saying, well,
I'm just gonna go steal my food, That's what they're saying.
There's thousands of these videos online of people just saying
I'm gonna go steal.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Trump cutting off food stands right before Thanksgiving bad. But
my people are all right.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Trump ain't cutting off a darn thing. The Democrats are.
They could, They could undo this at any given moment,
but continue.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Run out of stores with the cart fool.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
I bet it's gonna be some turkey on my plate,
ham massed potatoes, greens dress and it's gonna all be here.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So I'm just gonna steal. I'm just gonna fill out
my cart and scamper out the store. That's just one.
There's thousands of these videos.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
All I know is if they stop my food stamps,
me and my man will.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
Be at the grocery store walking out with two back
to big guys carts and they ain't betting. Nobody's better nothing.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Come.
Speaker 11 (26:00):
My man kame my heart behind me, and it only
take him one time to putch your ass.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So not only are we going to just steal if
we can't get our EBT benefits, We're gonna turn around
and assault you if you try to stop us from stealing.
When I tell you, a lot of the people on
EBT are just entitled folks. I'm not just making stuff up.
They clearly are. They think they have a right to
(26:29):
your tax dollars. Now you can say, hey, this is
you know, something that's important for us to do. It's
charity or whatever. I don't think the government has a
role in charity. I don't think that Davy Crockett didn't
think that. I'm not kidding, he spoke out about this.
I don't think government has a role in charity, and
even if it is charity, you don't have a right
(26:50):
to charity, no matter how bad your financial situation is.
Charity is something that is done out of a goodness
of someone's heart. It's a blessing, but it's not something
you have a right to. You don't deserve my tax
dollars to feed yourself, no matter how poor you are.
At no point, even when my mom was on EBT,
(27:12):
when I sit there and say, yes, I have a
right to this EBT. My mother has a right to
this EBT because she's poor, No, didn't. I was glad
at the time that the people of the United States
decided this was something worthwhile so that people who are
a little bit less financially well off can still afford
to buy some food.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That was great, That was very generous of the people
of the United States. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Nobody has a right to it, and these people think
they do.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
And again, there's thousands of these videos.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I picked two that were clean enough for me to
actually play on the radio because most of them, on
top of you know, displaying rampant entitlement, were also full
of explotives. And I could have just sitt and hit
the center button constantly, or I could have just not
played them. But this is what we're dealing with. These
(28:06):
people demand your tax dollars. They demand it, and I
abolish it. Abolish EBT. I have become so jaded by
these videos. Get rid of it. Let private charity fill
in the gap. I think maybe every person should, out
of the goodness of their own heart, go donate to
a food shelter. Take the time, spend a little money,
(28:28):
buy twenty dollars worth of groceries, drop it off at
a food shelter, and abolish EBT because I am sick
of these people that demand.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Your tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You do not have a right to the money I
worked for, while nine times out of ten you're just
sitting on your fat ass doing nothing. Go get a
job or starve. If you don't work, you don't eat.
That's in the Bible. I believe that. Anyway, we got
a lot to talk about in.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
The next last segment, so stay true and you're not
gonna want to miss it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
All Right, let's talk a little bit more about the
CBT situation.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
In the mix of all of the obnoxious videos of
entitled folks just saying well, I'm just gonna steal my groceries.
I found one video of a lady who was seemingly
just as pissed off about all of this as I was.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
And.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
She made essentially the same case I did. You are
not entitled to a thing, not a single thing, so
shut up. Here is this lady. I don't know who
this is. It's a TikTok video. The username that's listed
is Caramel Dove. I don't know who this lady is,
but I love her. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 12 (30:03):
You got people all over the internet talking about it.
If they don't get their food stamps next month, how
they gonna go into these people's stores and take what
they need? Talking all bold like people owe them something.
But I got a question. What makes you think that
you're entitled to take anything that you.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Ain't work for? You want another man or woman to.
Speaker 12 (30:25):
Get out there, plow a field, break their bags while
you sit.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Back and watch, and you want to eat off they labor.
The devil is a lie.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
That's what you call bold and titled warped way of thinking.
If you mad at anybody, talk to God about it,
because it's in his word. If a man chooses not
to work, then he should not eat. God never blesses idleness.
He blesses the works of our hands, not all of
these excuses in title mindsets coming out of our mouths.
You wouldn't let us move into your place, eat your food,
(30:58):
use your water, or sleep in your bed without your permission, right,
So why would you try to sit up here and
justify going into these people's stores that they built with
their sweat, hours and sacrifice. We gotta stop glorifying self
inflicted struggles. Get up off your behind and do what
they're asking you to do.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Twenty hours.
Speaker 12 (31:19):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
You do it with everything else.
Speaker 12 (31:22):
God feeds the birds, He just expects that the nets
bee build.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
So if you got questions, stop waiting for a handout,
stop moving your mouth, start moving them hands, because guess what,
if you don't work, it's nine times out of ten
you not gonna eat.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Ay Man, Dawdy, that's good stuff. I need to go
to black church. Oh my god, I.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Got goosebops from that.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
That was amazing. I love that. And she makes an
important point.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
There is a difference between charity and entitlements, right, and
I think we've lost sight of that in modern America.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
We think of our.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Entitlement benefits as charity, and they they should be charity.
But charity shouldn't involve the government. If it involves the government,
it's not charity. It's just that simple. It's not charity.
It's somebody else that has been taxed, essentially being forced
by the government to give away their things that they've
(32:25):
worked for. Maybe that's money. And again, you should give
to charity. If you're in a financial place to do that,
you should. It is good, it is necessary. We're called
to do it by the Bible. But the government saying
I'm going to take your money, and if you don't
let me, I'm gonna put you in prison.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
And then that money I've.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Taken from you, I'm going to give to lazy people
who aren't working so that they can buy food.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
That's not charity. It's not Biblical.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I have some very strong opinions of this, and they
come actually from Davy Crockett. I mentioned this in the
last segment.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Davy Crockett.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yes, that Davy Crockett from the Alamo was a very
outspoken opponent of government charity. So take a listen to
So I want to read you this. This is called
not yours to give Davy Crockett and welfare. This is
a retelling of an actual instance that occurred. You can
look this up in the Congressional Archives and you can
actually read this speech in the Congressional Archives. So not
(33:22):
only is tax paid, government dictated welfare opposite to Christian charity,
it also flies directly in the face of the Constitution
of the United States.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Hero of the Alamo, Davy.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Crockett was a colonel in the Tennessee Regulars and was
elected to the House of Representatives from his native state.
That was before his part in the valiant defense of
the famed Alamo. He served three terms as a Congressman.
While Crockett was in Congress, a distinguished naval officer died,
leaving a widow. Members of the House proposed to appropriate
twenty thousand dollars of public money. And that was a
(33:54):
lot more back then, because remember we've had inflation since then.
Twenty thousand dollars of public money to get give to
the widow, to assure her welfare and to honor the
memory of the late officer. That's a noble enough cause, right,
This is a window her husband served the country. She
supposedly has no income will give her twenty thousand dollars
from the government to set her up right.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's nice. It's a nice idea, But is that the
role of government.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
No, Before you consider him heartless, Crockett opposed that appropriation
in such a persuasive term that it received only.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
A few votes and was defeated.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Before you consider him heartless, hear the facts which will
show he was just the opposite. Others before him had
said that the country owed the departed officer a debt.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Crockett reminded the House.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Of the countless men who had served their country with distinction,
but whom Congress had never admitted owing a cash debt.
In Crockett' speech before the House, he said the following
these aid Crockett's words. Again, this is verifiable. You can
go read this in the Congressional archive. I've done it,
mister Speaker. I have as much respect for the memory
we have the deceased as and as much sympathy for
(35:03):
the suffering of the living, if suffering there may be
as any man in this house. But we must not
permit our respect for the dead, or our sympathy for
a part of the living, to lead us into an
act of injustice in the balance of the living. I
will not go into argument to prove that Congress has
no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity.
(35:25):
Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the
right as individuals to give as much of our own
money as we please in charity, but as members of Congress,
we have no right to appropriate a dollar of public money.
And he goes on to saying this speech, Hey, I
will vote down this bill and give a week of
(35:46):
my pay as a congressman to this woman.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And of all of us do the same thing. If
we all say, instead.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Of appropriating public money to give to charity, we just
take a week of our own pay and give it
to this lady. It'll be way more than that, and
she'll be set up for life, and we won't have
set a terrible standard for the country.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Davy Crockett was right here.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
It is not the business of the federal government to
be taking public money and using it for charity. Public
money should be used to benefit the public, things like roads, bridges,
national defense. That's what the government should be spending money on,
not charity. David Crockett was right here, and I think
that applies even to EBT. Abolish EBT. I'm sick of
(36:30):
giving these people my money, and you should be too.
Go give private charity, not this garbage.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Anyway. I also wanted to mention this since we're talking
about the Alamo.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Kate Rogers is out as the Alamo Trust CEO amid
clash with Lieutenant Governor over the Alamo narrative. Now, this
is something we all need to pay attention to. The
Alamo is important to all.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Of us here in Texas. All right.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Here's how the Alamo operates. It is operated and managed
by the Alamo Trust. That's a nonprofit. It is owned
by the Texas General Land Office, which is a division of.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
The state of Texas. All right.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
So this was the lady that was responsible for most
of the day to day operations at the Alamo.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Here's what got her in trouble.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Some of her writings, and this goes back to the
narrative about oh, the Texas Revolution was about slavery, which
is a brain dead take. But she wrote here, oh
where is it? She essentially wrote in this letter and
you can read this. The Lieutenant Governor posted it on
Twitter that we need to use the Alamo as a
(37:30):
means to basically reconcile the evils of the past than
Lotti Dottie Dae. It's the same BLM narrative that we've
had since twenty twenty oh. Some of the Alamo defenders
held slaves. There was, you know, colonization, Lotti Dottie da
and the Alamo was part of that, and we need
to we need to teach about that at the Alamo.
(37:52):
No we don't, No, we don't. She makes the argument
that this needs to be a monument to reconciliate. That's
not what the Alamo is. It's not a monument to reconciliation.
I had made the point that the Alamo.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Is a warning, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
It is a warning to the people of Texas that, hey,
these liberties that you have, they cost something and you
might have to pay that cost again, all right, be warned.
One hundred and eighty nine people died here for your liberty,
and they were probably not the last ones in history
to do that. But it's also a warning to anyone
that would try to take our liberty and our freedom
(38:30):
in the state of Texas. It's a warning to them,
we will kill you, and we will die. We will
give our own life in the process of killing you
before we let you touch our freedom and liberty. That's
what the Alamo is. There's a time and place to
teach about the evils of slavery. It's not the Alamo,
all right, and anyone who thinks that it is the
Alamo shouldn't be anywhere near it. So thank god she's out.
(38:52):
That's all I've got for you. Thank you very much

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
