After I took a week off, I've returned to find Trump and Elon Musk at each other’s throats. Where did this fight come from, and who's correct?
Los Angeles, California, is once again being ravaged by violent riots. This time, it's because of standard immigration enforcement. Now, Democrats are trying to blame shift.

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 for
the Next Gen Report. Put Ethan Bukan in.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey everybody, Howdy, howdy, howdy. Good to be back. I
hope you've been tuning in on KPRC to listen to
the show while I was away AM nine to fifty
KPRC seven pm were on every Sunday Live. Even when
I'm away, I have content there for you guys. I
was able to do some best of segments, So if
you missed me, you should have been listening on Sundays
(00:45):
because I was still there. Believe it or not, pardon
me how it takes.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It all right.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I was on my honeymoon, I got married. That was
a great time. I highly recommend it. I can officially
recommend to you Royal Caribbean Cruises because that's where I
went for my honeymoon. It was a great cruise, a
great sight scene, great places visited, great staff aboard the ship.
Couldn't recommend it enough. It was my first ever cruise.
I had a great time I got to spend that
(01:13):
amazing week with my wife, who I love dearly, and
I'm very happy to be married. And I highly recommend
doing that too. Find your wife settled down, or if
you're a woman, finds your husband settled down. And if
you've already done that, because I know some of my
audience is already married, good shub. That's all I got
for you, oh man. But yeah, I disappear for a
week and everything just falls apart. It seems Trump and
(01:33):
Musk have a big fight. La is on fire again,
But I mean, it's a day ending, And why so
when is La not on fire? Right? That's if La
wasn't on fire when I got back, I would have
been concerned. If I came back and La was a thriving,
functional city, I would have been worried that something major
happened and I missed it. But La being on fire,
that's business as usual. So I've been away for a week.
(01:57):
I have no idea where to start. There's so much
that I want to cover. I've been spending literally the
last two days digging through all the notifications and exposts
and everything that I missed, trying to figure out what
to talk about. Just because I don't know where to start,
so I figured I would take the softball here and
(02:17):
talk about Harris Kenny judge Lena Hidalgo. She's kind of
the easy shot, and I almost feel bad for picking
on her because it does. She makes it too easy. Frankly,
she does. She makes it too easy. It feels cheap.
I feel like I'm kind of half asking it when
I do this. But whatever, she's here, she's making a
full of herself. Actually she's there and she's making full
(02:38):
of herself, So we're gonna go for it. We talked
about this a little bit a couple weeks ago. She
had asked for a bunch of money from the taxpayers
to go to Paris, and of course the commissioner's course
said no. Thank God. Shout out Tom Ramsey leading the
charge on that. We really appreciate that saving us some money.
But Lena Hidalgo did have the funds to just go
(02:58):
by herself, and I think I think maybe she had
some staffers accompanying her through other financial means. But we
know that the Harris County taxpayers did not pay extra
money for this trip, and for Lina staffers, I want
to emphasize the taxpayers did pay for this. Lena Hidalgo
does have what I believe to be a rather substantial
(03:21):
travel budget as county judge. And here's my question to you,
why why do we need that for our county judge?
Why do we need to be sending our county judge
on international missions? Now, if we had a competent county
judge who could actually, you know, go to another country,
meet with foreign business people and negotiate deals that would
(03:43):
benefit Harris County, I would say, okay, fair enough, we'll
give you a travel budget. We don't have that with
len Hidalgo. This woman is stupid. She is She's not
a smart person. She's definitely not a good negotiator. Every
time she has the slightest argument with the other commissioners
on Harris County Commissioner's Court, she has a complete emotional
(04:03):
breakdown on public on camera. And now you want to
send her to Paris to negotiate a bunch of deals
with the tech bros. That's where she's at. She's at
a tech conference. What background does this woman have in tech? None? Whatsoever?
What is her background? She's some sort of lawyer, right,
I think? Let me look it up. What is Lena
(04:26):
Hidalgo's professional background. I'm gonna get out ahead of this
and say she doesn't have much professional work history. Upon
graduation from Stanford, ooh, there we go, Hidalgo received the
almade Rare Network Pro Graduate Fellowship. I don't know what
this is. She moved to Thailand, where she worked for
(04:46):
Internews Network and international nonprofit dedicated to training journalists and
advocating for press freedom. That's what she did before she
became the county judge. What does she have any business
doing at a tech conference because that's where she is.
Houston Chronicle wrote a big article talking about how great
it was that she was over here at this tech conference.
Let's stick into this a little bit from the Chronicle.
(05:08):
Harris County Judge withn Haidalgo arrived in Paris on Monday
ahead of her scheduled appearance at Viva Tech twenty twenty five.
According to an announcement made by Houston senior French diplomat,
pardon me, take another sip of my drink, all right,
So they hype up the fact that she arrived in Paris.
She went there with as part of a joint enterprise
(05:29):
from Rice University and the Greater Houston Business Partnership. Okay,
fair enough. I feel like both of those organizations could
have paid for this entire trip. We didn't have to
do that. Those are both well funded organizations. Second of all,
you have to question their judgment because both of those
organizations are staffed by people that are smart enough to
(05:50):
know that Lena Hidalgo is an idiot. So what's actually
going on here? Because she's not going in negotiating deals
with the tech bros. We know that she's not capable
of that. What is she doing in Paris? Why is
she there? And why are we paying for it? Adago's
arrival to the French capital heralded the beginning of a
week long trade mission, culminating in an appearance at viv Tech. Okay,
(06:14):
this is maybe something you send the governor to if
you have to send everybody, because here's something that I
feel like it's necessary to point out. There is nobody
in the world that has questions about the ability of
businesses to thrive in Houston, the ability of businesses to
thrive in Texas. We're well known for this, It's not
(06:36):
a secret. And aside from that, all the tech bros
Are going to Austin. Anyway, we're the oil people. Austin
is the tech people. We don't need to muddy those
waters at all. Why are we sending the Harris County
judge who couldn't negotiate with two stick bugs if she
had to to a tech conference in France. Why I
(06:57):
have not heard a single person make the case for this.
There's no reason for her to be there. There's no
reason for us to pay for it. Now. We all
went and patted ourselves on the back when we made
a big fuss about the fact that they wanted extra
money for this trip to bring more people, and we thought, oh, yay, good,
we shut that down. We're not spending extra money on this,
so it's fine. We don't have to worry about it.
(07:19):
This is a victory. I mean it's a small victory,
but it's not great. We still paid a bunch of
money for this either way. And nobody can explain to
me why we have got to start really cutting the
Harris County budget. I think a good place to start
is let's pare down Lena Hidalgo's office. She's spending a
lot of money on a lot of stuff. She doesn't
(07:40):
need to be spending money on. Let's start there and
then move on to everything else. All Right, We've got
a great show coming up, a lot of stuff going
on that I'm gonna get to you because I missed
it and I've been out for a week. Stay tuned.
We'll be right back. This is the next Gen Report.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So I mentioned I was on a cruise for my honeymoon.
When you go on a cruise, most cruise lines offer
you the option to have an Internet package while you're
aboard the ship. And if you don't buy that Internet package,
you really don't have a connection to the outside world
while you're on that cruise unless you pay a bunch
of money for international roaming data. And I didn't do that.
(08:42):
I specifically didn't do both of those things. And I'll
explain to you exactly why. Hold on, let me take
a sip on my drink. Okay, let me explain to
you why I specifically wanted to disconnect for a little
bit and just spend some time with my wife. That's
what I wanted to do. And here's exactly why I
wanted to do it, Because the moment I turn off
my phone, there's a massive explosion between Elon Musk and
(09:05):
Donald Trump, two of my favorite people in the world
right now. Obviously, I was heartbroken when I found out
a week later, so it didn't ruin my honeymoon. It
was amazing, It was great. I encourage people to disconnect
every now and again, even I don't do it. But
when I got back, I was sitting there thinking, Gosh,
I have so much to catch up on. I wish
there was one place I could easily go that gives
(09:27):
me a kind of quick updates twice a week, so
I can quickly catch up on everything I've missed that's
of relevancy without having to soar through every single thing.
And then I thought, there is someone who does that,
but he was on vacation this week, and it was me.
I'm that person. So hey, feel free every now and again,
take some time, turn off your phone, disconnect, go on
(09:50):
a cruise in the Gulf of America where you don't
have any Wi Fi or data, and just disconnect, and
then when you get back later, catch up on everything
you mess by listening to this show. That's why I'm
here anyway. All that to say, while I was gone,
Trump and Musk had a big explosion. They just they
hate each other. Now, not really, They just had a feud,
which we knew that was coming eventually. Anyone that was
(10:13):
surprised by Musk and Trump kind of having a little
bit of a blow up is an idiot, frankly, because
Trump has blow ups with everybody, especially the people that
are kind of his closest friends and allies. I mean, remember,
think back to twenty sixteen, the awful, horrible things that
he said about Marco Rubio, and now Marco Rubio is
in his cabinet. Think about Ted Cruz. You have a
dog wife, Ted, your wife is ugly as a dog.
(10:35):
He said that. Trump said that, And now they're like
best of buddies. They hang out all the time, they're
good friends. So I wasn't surprised by this. I'm not
losing any sleep over it, but it was kind of
disappointing to hear about it. I actually heard about this.
I heard somebody while I was eating dinner on the boat,
some guy at a table next to me who was
actually talking about this and explaining to his wife because
(10:56):
he was in touch he had bought the Internet package
explaining why Musk and Trump had kind of blown up
at each other. And it was all about the big
beautiful bill, which I saw that coming a mile away too.
I knew that was going to happen because Musk's whole
thing was I'm coming in and we're gonna cut the government. Right.
That was his deal with the voters. That was his pitch.
(11:18):
That was the agreement that he and Trump had. That's
why he was on the campaign trail, was to cut
government spending. Musk was in and of himself a tea
party movement. He was we keep hearing, oh is it
time for a second tea party movement? We just had one.
It was Elon Musk. He for six months did nothing
but say, hey, we're gonna cut government spending. I'm gonna
(11:39):
get into government. I'm gonna find all the ways fraud
and abuse, and we're gonna cut it. And then he
did that. He held up his end of the bargain.
He got Trump and aug fis like he said he
was gonna work to do. And then Trump appointed him
to doge like Trump said he was gonna do. And
then Elon went in to doge and he found a
bunch of waste and fraud and abuse like he said
he was going to do, and they canceled all those contracts,
(12:03):
and then Elon Musk turned to Congress and the Trump
administration and said, hey, here's all the stuff that we
don't need to be spending money on. Are you gonna
take all this out of the budget? And Trump said,
we're gonna have a big, beautiful bill. It's gonna be
big and beautiful. And we're not cutting the budget at all.
We're increasing the budget. We're gonna spend more money. And
so everyone's like, well, what the hell. Now, there's a
(12:26):
reasonable pitch on both sides. I understand the realities of
the situation that we're in. Obviously, we're not going to
get all the cuts that we need and want in
one budget bill. Anyone who's pushing for anything all right now,
you're being unrealistic. I understand the impulse to say, oh, well,
we have the majority, we can do it. We just
(12:49):
need everybody to vote with us. Well, here's the fact
of the matter. Everybody's not gonna vote with us. We're
not We're either gonna have to make some concession or
lose some Republican votes, and we don't have enough for
Puplicans in the Congress to lose those Republican votes. The
math ain't mathing. We have less than ten seats of
a majority, which means we can afford to lose no votes,
(13:10):
which means there's some modern Republicans that you're gonna have
to spend some extra money for them in order to
get them to vote for it. Now, you could say, well,
just don't do it. Shut down the government fair enough,
Then what what's your next move? You have the government
shut down until the next election. There's I'm not gonna
fight you on it, but that's not gonna happen. There's
(13:31):
what we want to happen, and the reality of the situation,
and those things don't add up. They don't meet each
other in the middle like we want them to. Now,
Elon Musk is completely right when he goes after the
Big Beautiful Bill, because that's what happened. Actually had Groc
dig through X and the Internet and create for me
a little bit of a summary of what happens so
that I can recite it back to you. So, according
(13:53):
to Droc, the feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump
erupted on June twenty twenty five over Trump's Big Beautiful Bill,
a mass of tax and spending plan. Musk, recently departed
from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency,
slammed the bill as a disgusting abomination that would balloon
the national debt. He's right, the big, beautiful bill is big,
(14:13):
and it will balloon the national debt. It's way more
spending than we need. We could cut more. Now, there's
a good chance that there's just no way to cut
more and have the votes we need to get it passed.
Fair enough, I understand that argument. We got to do better,
We got to get a bigger majority. At this point,
it's up to us, the voters. We have got to
be looking at people running for office and saying, hey,
(14:35):
are you more of a Thomas Massey type guy who's
going to actually cut the spending? And that's up to you,
the voters. That's not up to Trump, that's not up
to Congress. You have got to put the people in
office that are going to do that. That is your responsibility.
You can complain about it all you want, you can
get on Facebook and complain about it all you want,
But at the end of the day, if you're not
(14:56):
going to these town halls next year, because next year
is an election all these people are gonna be back up.
There's gonna be going for your vote. They want you
to vote for them. They're gonna have events, they're gonna
have town halls, they're gonna have little questionnaire sessions. If
you're not going to those and saying, hey, are you
going to cut the spending? Are you going to be
a Thomas Massey chip Roy hardline when it comes to
(15:19):
the budget. And if you're not asking those questions and
voting with that in mind, this is your fault. It's
not Trump's, it's not Elon Musk's, it's not even Mike Johnson's.
It's on you. You didn't give them the votes that
they need in Congress to do this. That's the big
takeaway from this whole explosion between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
(15:41):
Neither of them is wrong. This is a big part
of Trump's agenda. It includes a lot of his tax
plans that he promised the voters. It's important for him
to get this passed, and he's right to stand up
and defend it. That's his agenda. He should be pushing
for it. He should be even if it's too big,
he should be pushing for it at the same time,
Elon Musk should be pushing for the government to be smaller,
(16:04):
for the budget to be smaller. Both of them are
somewhat right and wrong. Elon must needs to understand that
he's not going to get everything he wants, even though
everything he wants is good and he should get it.
And Donald Trump is pushing for what he has to
push for because that's what he promised the voters. It's
up to you. You are the missing link here, the voters.
(16:28):
We need to give the GOP a stronger majority of
hard line Republicans. What does that mean. It means in
kind of spring of next year, when the primaries really
kick into gear, you need to look at the voting
records of the people who represent you and say, where
do you stand on budget issues? Are you going to
(16:49):
spend more or are you going to spend less? And
that's what you need to be doing. You need to
be looking at Thomas Massey and saying, hey, Trump is
going after this guy because he's in the way of
Trump's agenda. And rather than saying, okay, Thomas Massey needs
to be ousted, you need to be looking and saying, hey,
how do we get more people in Congress that can
(17:11):
kind of work with Trump and Thomas Massey and find
that middle point. That's what we have to be doing,
and it's up to the voters. The fact of the
matter is, one way or another, this bill is gonna
get passed. If you're a hardline fiscal conservative. I'm sorry
we lost this battle, and it's no one's fault but
ourselves because we didn't campaign hard enough. But at the
(17:32):
end of the day, Trump and Musk are gonna make nice.
They already seem to be doing that. This bill is
gonna get past whether we like it or not. We
have to look to the future. What can we do
in the future to make sure the next budget bill
is better? And the answer there is elections, So get
focused because we're coming up on that time. I've said
it before, I'll say it again. There's no political offseason.
All right, state to it. We'll be right back after
this break. All right, let's talk about it. Los Angeles
(18:18):
is on fire again? What else is new? I feel
like protesting and writing is like their official pastime. If
it's a day ending and why Los Angeles is burning
because of a protest over something stupid? This time it's
iced deportations. Guess what, people, if you come into the
country illegally, you get deported. It's called actions and consequences, right,
(18:44):
those things go together. When you do an action, there
are consequences. If your action is coming into the country illegally,
the consequence is you get arrested and deported. Now, the
people in Los Angeles, they are pissed off about this,
and this has kind of exploded. We've had national protests.
We've got a big series of protests that we've been
(19:05):
keeping our eye on, the No Kings protest that's going
to be even here in Houston. These protests are even
coming to Texas. We've had violence here in Texas, which
is weird because even in the George Floyd stuff, we
didn't have sort of the extreme violence that we had
in other parts of the country. We had a little
bit of kind of roughage, but it was kind of
(19:27):
toned down. But we've had some major arrests here recently,
especially in Austin, So that's definitely something to keep an
eye on. The fact that this is even spreading to Texas,
that's worth kind of looking at and being like, Okay,
what's going on here. But essentially this is the story.
In Los Angeles, a bunch of people have been arrested
(19:50):
for illegal immigration and they're being deported. They're illegal aliens.
They're not supposed to be here, so we're taking them
and we're sending them back to where they came from. Now,
we've had a lot of raids and whatnot in Los
Angeles because guess what, Los Angeles is a sanctuary city
inside a sanctuary state. So there's a lot of illegal
aliens there. That's what happens. And of course the citizenry
(20:13):
there is pissed off about this. Why, I don't know.
They don't know either. That I think is the dirty
little secret here. They don't understand why they're pissed off.
They're just pissed off because they were told to be
what we need to be getting to the bottom of
is Hey, who told these people to be pissed off?
Because they don't know and we don't know either. But anyway,
(20:35):
that's what's going on right now in La So here
is a video from one of those protests, and you'll
just have to listen to it because this is a
podcast slash radio show, so we don't have video. I'm
not that fancy yet. I'm working on it. I will
get a camera later. So anyway, this is what's going
on in California right now. Everybody's chanting, no one is
illegal on stolen land, and they're rallying the left wing
(20:58):
ridiculous troops. Take listen to all this nonsense.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
No, we made this city, this is our land.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
All the Mexicans, all the black people. It's racial stuff.
What else is new? What else is new? But this
argument really pisses me off more than any other that
you hear from the left. No one's illegal on stolen land.
And they tossed the Native Americans into this, the Indians. Oh,
(21:53):
these people are just doing to us what we did
to the Native Americans. So how can you be mad
at it? Okay, well, let me stop you right there.
I thought that was a bad thing. I thought the
white people coming in and taking the land from the
Native Americans was bad. That's what you told me. So
why would we then turn around and let someone do
the same thing to us? Right? That argument doesn't even
(22:15):
pass the sniff test. But this whole no one's illegal
on stolen landing. I've seen a lot of this lately.
A lot of people on X have been talking about well,
oh well, Mexico is just bart Or. California is just
part of Mexico, and the United States stole it. This
is stolen land. Okay, we didn't steal it. We won
the war. Okay, when you lose a war, that comes
(22:38):
with concessions. Some of those concessions were land. The United
States and Texas won two back to back wars with Mexico. Right,
we had the Texas Revolution, which was a bunch of
Americans in Texas fighting a war with Mexico, and then
we had the Mexico American War. All right. In both
of those wars, Mexico seated a bunch of territory. It
(23:01):
wasn't stolen. We fought a war, and then you signed
a document saying we could have it because we kicked
your ass. That's what happened. Don't hate me for saying it.
I speak the truth. This is what history tells us.
It's well documented. We fought the war, you lost the war,
you signed the document. Don't be a sore loser. Now,
(23:23):
you should have fought harder. I hate to bring it
to you. You should have won the war. That's it.
That's the whole story. If you wanted to keep control
of California. You should have won the war, but she didn't.
You can be mad at that all you want. The
only other option here is you fight another war and
try to take it back. I can tell you right
(23:43):
now that's not gonna go over. Well, you're not gonna
win that war. There is nothing that has changed since
the eighteen forties that has magically granted any of these
other countries that have been sending their citizens to the
United States the ability to be war. So guess what.
You can't have the land back. It's ours. I'm sorry,
(24:04):
we took it from you. We turned it into a
prosperous country. Cry about it. It's ours now, all right,
it's not stolen land. We conquered it fair and square.
We won the war. These are the rules of the game.
You can be mad about that all you want, but
you're not getting the land back. And when you riot
because you want the land back, we're gonna send our
military in and we're gonna put a stop to that
(24:27):
because that's not allowed either. And so that's what Trump
has done. Because in typical La Riot fashion, we've had
cars burning, we've had businesses falling apart, we've had disaster
in the streets, and so Trump said, hey, this is bad,
We're gonna call in the National Guard. We're gonna do
something about this, and shock of shocks, Gavin Newsom is
(24:50):
mad about this. So on day four of these riots,
which was I believe Monday Tuesday, I wasn't keeping try
because they started when I was out of town. According
to Bede Hobbs for KTRH on kterih dot com, the
anarchy continues. On day four of the violent ice protests
in Los Angeles, seven hundred US Marines are headed to
LA to assist seven hundred US Marines. Sorry, I might
(25:15):
cut out there. That's insane that this is escalated to
that point and that it took four days period, because
these riots have been going on for a while, We've
had the National Guard come in and now we have
the Marines come in, which is exactly what should happen.
Our troops should be reserved, exactly for situations like this.
We don't need our people in the Middle East, we
(25:35):
need them here. When these insurgents, these radical leftists come
into the country and try to burn things down and
wave foreign flags and say no, this land belongs to Mexico.
No it doesn't, it's ours. We'll fight you again for
it if we have to. Here's our military. Take a look.
That's what our military is for. So I'm glad they're there.
Gavin Newsom, he's not. He's firing a lawsuit about it.
(26:00):
This came out yesterday. Newsom suites to block military response
to LA riots. By Ethan Buchinnan ooh, look at that
kjeras dot com. Go give it a read. As violent
anti ice riots continue across the city of Los Angeles,
California Governor Gavin Newsom is essentially doing everything he can
to help the chaos continue. And that's exactly what's happening.
The authorities in Los Angeles County, the City of Los Angeles,
(26:22):
even the California state authorities. Clearly, we're not keeping tabs
on this. It's not hard to go on x and
find the footage of cars burning, of things being destroyed.
This was not a situation that was under control, and
so Trump stepped up, brought federal forces to bear, and
is cracking down on the situation, which is what he
should be doing, and Gavin Newsom issuing him over it.
(26:45):
For whatever reason. State of California filed a lawsuit against
the administration after the California National Guard was federalized and
deployed to LA to protect federal buildings and personnel. The
lawsuit alleges that the move was unlawful because Trump's circumed
Governor Newsom. He went on to call it a power grab,
and he also wants an emergency injunction to stop the
(27:07):
Marines from being deployed there. Why why do you want
this to happen? Why do you want your city, your town,
your state to burn to the ground for illegal aliens.
These are not your constituents. But this is what the
Democrats are sticking up for, not their citizens, not the
people who elected them, the illegal aliens. They're not worried
(27:28):
about the people who are having their city destroyed by rioters.
LA Mayor Karen bask goes out and says, no, we
don't need to stop the riots. We need to stop
the raids. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
We need to stop the raids. There should not be
happening in our city. It is not warranted and it
does an The only thing it does is contribute to chaos.
This was chaos that was started at Washington, DC on Thursday.
The city was peaceful on Friday. It was not because
(28:01):
of the intervention of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
No, Mayor Bass, that is a blatant and intentional lie.
It's not because of the innovation of the federal government,
and you know that. It's because of the fact that
you allowed your city, you and your party, allowed your
city and your state to become a hotbed for illegal immigration,
which is a crime. That's no different than allowing your
city to become a hotbed for murder or drugs or
(28:26):
rape or any other crime. It's all bad. And so
when the federal government, who is in charge of enforcing
the laws, stepped up to say no, we're going to
put a stop to this, not only did you not
help them, you allowed the rioters to completely take over
the city. You're actively making their jobs harder. And that's
why your city is a craphole. That's why, that's why
(28:50):
there's unrest, that's why there's writing. It's your fault because
you're siding with illegal aliens and not with your people.
And make no mistake, this is the whole Democratic Party
all guilty of this, every single one.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
All right, stay tuned, we'll be right back in just
a second, all.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Right, Since we're on the topic. Let's just stay on
the topic, talk about these protests and ice and deportation
a little bit longer, because I think this warrants. This
is big stuff, right, I think this is worth spending
some extra time on. So, in case you were wondering, No,
(29:41):
the people involved in this are not particularly bright. The
actual foot soldiers on the ground here, the people taking
part in these protests, these riots, these are not the uh.
They're not the prickliest cacti in the desert, so to speak.
They're not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They're not
the warmest cookies in the cookie jar, if you catch
(30:04):
my dick. They're a few fries short of a happy meal,
in my opinion. So here's a video that I found
that we're gonna just listen to and react to together
of this one guy, a man of Hispanic American persuasion.
I'm not sure what exactly, I frankly don't care. It
matters not to me. This guy's not particularly smart. Take
(30:26):
a listen to this guy talking to some on the
ground reporter at one of these protests, and I assume
this is Los Angeles. I don't have a lot of
details about where exactly this video came from, but I
know it's new, so I'm gonna assume it's the Los
Angeles riots. Take a listen to this guy.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
We don't agree with the term illegal. We're on document there.
We've been here for thousands of years before you guys
showed up screw up everything. We think we should organize
together with the US working class and fight together and create.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Okay, let me stop him right there. We'll not agree
with the term illegal. We're undocumented. We've been here for
thousands of years. Okay, let me stop you right Theray,
you haven't. If you'd been here for thousands of years,
you'd be a naturalized US citizen. You haven't been here
for a thousand You just got here. You hopped across
the border over the last several years, and now we're
sending you back. That's what happened. Nobody who's been here
(31:20):
is being deported. Nobody who's supposed to be here is
being deported. I should say, because there's people that have
been here for a while that shouldn't be they are
getting deported. But nobody who's like a legitimate occupant of
the land is being deported. It's just not happening. There's
this narrative being pushed mostly by radical idiots on the left,
(31:40):
that Trump is just grabbing up brown people and kicking
him out because he's a white supremacist or something. That's
not what's happening. Legal Hispanic Americans are not being touched.
It's illegal aliens that are getting deported. This guy doesn't
know that, and now he makes this a class issue
and goes into socialism. Take a listen to this a.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Vetter system where anti capitalist. We think socialism does work,
real socialism, not Venezuela, not Cuba. Noted that, all.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Right, this is the line they always drop. Real socialism works.
We think socialism works. No, it doesn't. We can show
you all the cases where it didn't work. Here's all
the nations that have tried it and failed. That wasn't
real socialism. Real socialism does work, all right, goober. The
guy interviewing him asked the perfect question.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Take a listen after they try to sell us in socialism,
and where we leave it would be a more humane
system that will take care of most of all people's necessities.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Is there a country we can look to to kind
of model the socialism idea?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
The only model would be Soviet Union. In the first
four years. After that, it became a mess.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's good, that's good, that's funny stuff. This is hey,
I didn't know any better. I would think this is
I really would. Can you give me an example of
real socialism working? The Soviet Union? Okay, that was kind
of a disaster. That's why the whole country collapsed. I
(33:13):
mean short of one hundred years. They didn't even clear
thee hundred year mark before that entire country collapsed. Well,
the first four years was pretty good, and then everything
went terrible. Yeah, that's the point, everything went terrible immediately.
Your one example of socialism working lasted a full four
(33:34):
years before everything went to crap, and then less than
one hundred years later, the country caved in on itself
like a dying star. That's what you've got for me, Really,
come on, do better.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Sadly, there was a bureaucrat leadership that grew out of that,
but it has to do mainly with the attacks of
the US and all big power against that's system that
was working.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
He literally says it was it was the bureaucrats that
ended up ruining everything, And he's right. It was just
like it always is with every form of government. The
bureaucrats are the ones in the way. So here's a
good idea. Give the bureaucrats as little power as possible. Right,
that way, they can't screw up everything. But socialism does
(34:27):
the opposite of that. It gives the bureaucrats as much
power as possible. And then he blames it on the
United States. I don't even know how you get there.
It's the bureaucrats fault in the Soviet Union, but actually
it's the United States. Okay, which is it? Because it
can't be both. It's either the bureaucrats or it's the
United States. You gotta pick one. You can't have it
(34:48):
both ways. This guy doesn't even know what he's talking about.
He's read the talking points. That's it. That's all he's
got is the talking points. Sorry, I'm drinking a lot
of water. I don't know if you can tell. I've
been drinking it the entire show. I had got severely
dehydrated on the cruise. Drink your water, folks, anyway. So
(35:08):
the Trump administration is not backing down on this, by
the way, as they shouldn't. They're keeping the pedal to
the metal. Which is exactly what they should be doing.
Here's Tom Holman on Fox. He's saying, listen, we don't
care about your riots, we don't care about the quote
unquote resistance. We're going to enforce the law whether you
like it or not. We're not letting up our foot
(35:28):
is on the gas, oh.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
I say lab As a matter of fact, we got
over one hundred teams out today enforce an immigration law,
and we're going to flood the zone. I've said for months,
thanks for your cities. You don't want us arrest these
bad guys that you just listened out. We could arrest
them in safety and security of the county jail, but
they won't let us into jail. They released them into
the community, which means we got sent a whole bunch
of teams in the community to find this dangerous person
(35:52):
that don't want to be found. So Sanctuary City is
going to get exactly what they don't want. More officers
in the communities and more officers and work. We can't
arrestment in jail or a wrestlement in the community. If
we can't wrestle in the community, We're going to increase
work selle enforcement operations We're gonna flood the zone and
base on Elli's doing right now. We're going to continue
to flood the zones. We're gonna be there tonight, We're
gonna be there tomorrow. We're gonna be there every day
(36:14):
in the next four years. Arrest in public safety, trade
illegal aliens. We're not gonna apologize for doing it. So
we're not going anywhere Jesse. We're gonna do the job
the American people voted Donald Trump in office for. We're
gonna make America safe again, one illegal alien criminal at
a time. And this is another reason we need a big,
beautiful bill pass so we can hire more ICE agents,
get more technology, and help us find these people. Look,
(36:36):
we got over twenty million illegal aliens in this country.
We only got we got less than five thousand deportation officers.
We're out numbered. You want more criminals taking off the street,
You want more efficient operations than they need to pass
this bill and fund Dice and funded Borbito to keep
President Trunk's promised to American people.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
That clip kind of gets back to what I was
talking about in the last segment. All this unrest, all
this violence, it's the fault of the people in charge
in these places, like Homan points out, we could be
doing this in the jails. We could be saying, hey,
this person is in this jail. They're not supposed to
be in this country. We're gonna go get them in
the jail. That's the thing that does happen. It happens
(37:15):
here in Harrison County. We do that. This does not
have to be in the public eye at all, because
the dirty little secret about these illegal aliens is most
of them are committing more crimes. Most of them are
putting themselves in a position where they're arrested. We could
just be handing them off to the Feds and calling
it a day. But the radical left doesn't want that.
(37:35):
They want the scene. They want everybody to lose their
mind about it so that they can go and campaign
on it. And Homan is correct to point out the
blame for this is on these officials. It is Karen
Bass's fault, It is Gavin Newsom's fault that this is happening.
It is I mean, I just did a story about
(37:56):
this this morning for KTRH, talking about the fact that listen,
the left is losing their minds because ICE agents and
officials are going into courthouses and arresting illegal Indians that
are there. This is what we want. This isn't radical,
this isn't ridiculous, this is safe. This is a good
way to do this. Hey, we know that these people
(38:17):
are in these courthouses. We know when they're in the courthouses,
they've gone through the screening. They're not a threat to
anybody else. Let's arrest them there while they're not a
threat to the community. Rather than saying no, turn them out,
let them loose amongst the community, and then we'll have
big riots when you try to arrest them. Make that
strategy make sense. The only way to do this and
(38:38):
make it make sense is you want the political points.
And that's what this is all about. The Democrats, these
radical leftists, they just want to make a scene so
that you'll go vote for them. Don't fall forward. All right,
that's all we've got for this episode. It's great to
be back. I hope you've been listening. I hope you've
been keeping up with me on social media, even though
I haven't really been posting much. You know where to
(38:59):
find me. It's the description. Will be back on Sunday
on a m nine fifty KPRC. This is the next
general port
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 for
the Next Gen Report. Put Ethan Bukan in.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey everybody, Howdy, howdy, howdy. Good to be back. I
hope you've been tuning in on KPRC to listen to
the show while I was away AM nine to fifty
KPRC seven pm were on every Sunday Live. Even when
I'm away, I have content there for you guys. I
was able to do some best of segments, So if
you missed me, you should have been listening on Sundays
(00:45):
because I was still there. Believe it or not, pardon
me how it takes.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It all right.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I was on my honeymoon, I got married. That was
a great time. I highly recommend it. I can officially
recommend to you Royal Caribbean Cruises because that's where I
went for my honeymoon. It was a great cruise, a
great sight scene, great places visited, great staff aboard the ship.
Couldn't recommend it enough. It was my first ever cruise.
I had a great time I got to spend that
(01:13):
amazing week with my wife, who I love dearly, and
I'm very happy to be married. And I highly recommend
doing that too. Find your wife settled down, or if
you're a woman, finds your husband settled down. And if
you've already done that, because I know some of my
audience is already married, good shub. That's all I got
for you, oh man. But yeah, I disappear for a
week and everything just falls apart. It seems Trump and
(01:33):
Musk have a big fight. La is on fire again,
But I mean, it's a day ending, And why so
when is La not on fire? Right? That's if La
wasn't on fire when I got back, I would have
been concerned. If I came back and La was a thriving,
functional city, I would have been worried that something major
happened and I missed it. But La being on fire,
that's business as usual. So I've been away for a week.
(01:57):
I have no idea where to start. There's so much
that I want to cover. I've been spending literally the
last two days digging through all the notifications and exposts
and everything that I missed, trying to figure out what
to talk about. Just because I don't know where to start,
so I figured I would take the softball here and
(02:17):
talk about Harris Kenny judge Lena Hidalgo. She's kind of
the easy shot, and I almost feel bad for picking
on her because it does. She makes it too easy. Frankly,
she does. She makes it too easy. It feels cheap.
I feel like I'm kind of half asking it when
I do this. But whatever, she's here, she's making a
full of herself. Actually she's there and she's making full
(02:38):
of herself, So we're gonna go for it. We talked
about this a little bit a couple weeks ago. She
had asked for a bunch of money from the taxpayers
to go to Paris, and of course the commissioner's course
said no. Thank God. Shout out Tom Ramsey leading the
charge on that. We really appreciate that saving us some money.
But Lena Hidalgo did have the funds to just go
(02:58):
by herself, and I think I think maybe she had
some staffers accompanying her through other financial means. But we
know that the Harris County taxpayers did not pay extra
money for this trip, and for Lina staffers, I want
to emphasize the taxpayers did pay for this. Lena Hidalgo
does have what I believe to be a rather substantial
(03:21):
travel budget as county judge. And here's my question to you,
why why do we need that for our county judge?
Why do we need to be sending our county judge
on international missions? Now, if we had a competent county
judge who could actually, you know, go to another country,
meet with foreign business people and negotiate deals that would
(03:43):
benefit Harris County, I would say, okay, fair enough, we'll
give you a travel budget. We don't have that with
len Hidalgo. This woman is stupid. She is She's not
a smart person. She's definitely not a good negotiator. Every
time she has the slightest argument with the other commissioners
on Harris County Commissioner's Court, she has a complete emotional
(04:03):
breakdown on public on camera. And now you want to
send her to Paris to negotiate a bunch of deals
with the tech bros. That's where she's at. She's at
a tech conference. What background does this woman have in tech? None? Whatsoever?
What is her background? She's some sort of lawyer, right,
I think? Let me look it up. What is Lena
(04:26):
Hidalgo's professional background. I'm gonna get out ahead of this
and say she doesn't have much professional work history. Upon
graduation from Stanford, ooh, there we go, Hidalgo received the
almade Rare Network Pro Graduate Fellowship. I don't know what
this is. She moved to Thailand, where she worked for
(04:46):
Internews Network and international nonprofit dedicated to training journalists and
advocating for press freedom. That's what she did before she
became the county judge. What does she have any business
doing at a tech conference because that's where she is.
Houston Chronicle wrote a big article talking about how great
it was that she was over here at this tech conference.
Let's stick into this a little bit from the Chronicle.
(05:08):
Harris County Judge withn Haidalgo arrived in Paris on Monday
ahead of her scheduled appearance at Viva Tech twenty twenty five.
According to an announcement made by Houston senior French diplomat,
pardon me, take another sip of my drink, all right,
So they hype up the fact that she arrived in Paris.
She went there with as part of a joint enterprise
(05:29):
from Rice University and the Greater Houston Business Partnership. Okay,
fair enough. I feel like both of those organizations could
have paid for this entire trip. We didn't have to
do that. Those are both well funded organizations. Second of all,
you have to question their judgment because both of those
organizations are staffed by people that are smart enough to
(05:50):
know that Lena Hidalgo is an idiot. So what's actually
going on here? Because she's not going in negotiating deals
with the tech bros. We know that she's not capable
of that. What is she doing in Paris? Why is
she there? And why are we paying for it? Adago's
arrival to the French capital heralded the beginning of a
week long trade mission, culminating in an appearance at viv Tech. Okay,
(06:14):
this is maybe something you send the governor to if
you have to send everybody, because here's something that I
feel like it's necessary to point out. There is nobody
in the world that has questions about the ability of
businesses to thrive in Houston, the ability of businesses to
thrive in Texas. We're well known for this, It's not
(06:36):
a secret. And aside from that, all the tech bros
Are going to Austin. Anyway, we're the oil people. Austin
is the tech people. We don't need to muddy those
waters at all. Why are we sending the Harris County
judge who couldn't negotiate with two stick bugs if she
had to to a tech conference in France. Why I
(06:57):
have not heard a single person make the case for this.
There's no reason for her to be there. There's no
reason for us to pay for it. Now. We all
went and patted ourselves on the back when we made
a big fuss about the fact that they wanted extra
money for this trip to bring more people, and we thought, oh, yay, good,
we shut that down. We're not spending extra money on this,
so it's fine. We don't have to worry about it.
(07:19):
This is a victory. I mean it's a small victory,
but it's not great. We still paid a bunch of
money for this either way. And nobody can explain to
me why we have got to start really cutting the
Harris County budget. I think a good place to start
is let's pare down Lena Hidalgo's office. She's spending a
lot of money on a lot of stuff. She doesn't
(07:40):
need to be spending money on. Let's start there and
then move on to everything else. All Right, We've got
a great show coming up, a lot of stuff going
on that I'm gonna get to you because I missed
it and I've been out for a week. Stay tuned.
We'll be right back. This is the next Gen Report.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So I mentioned I was on a cruise for my honeymoon.
When you go on a cruise, most cruise lines offer
you the option to have an Internet package while you're
aboard the ship. And if you don't buy that Internet package,
you really don't have a connection to the outside world
while you're on that cruise unless you pay a bunch
of money for international roaming data. And I didn't do that.
(08:42):
I specifically didn't do both of those things. And I'll
explain to you exactly why. Hold on, let me take
a sip on my drink. Okay, let me explain to
you why I specifically wanted to disconnect for a little
bit and just spend some time with my wife. That's
what I wanted to do. And here's exactly why I
wanted to do it, Because the moment I turn off
my phone, there's a massive explosion between Elon Musk and
(09:05):
Donald Trump, two of my favorite people in the world
right now. Obviously, I was heartbroken when I found out
a week later, so it didn't ruin my honeymoon. It
was amazing, It was great. I encourage people to disconnect
every now and again, even I don't do it. But
when I got back, I was sitting there thinking, Gosh,
I have so much to catch up on. I wish
there was one place I could easily go that gives
(09:27):
me a kind of quick updates twice a week, so
I can quickly catch up on everything I've missed that's
of relevancy without having to soar through every single thing.
And then I thought, there is someone who does that,
but he was on vacation this week, and it was me.
I'm that person. So hey, feel free every now and again,
take some time, turn off your phone, disconnect, go on
(09:50):
a cruise in the Gulf of America where you don't
have any Wi Fi or data, and just disconnect, and
then when you get back later, catch up on everything
you mess by listening to this show. That's why I'm
here anyway. All that to say, while I was gone,
Trump and Musk had a big explosion. They just they
hate each other. Now, not really, They just had a feud,
which we knew that was coming eventually. Anyone that was
(10:13):
surprised by Musk and Trump kind of having a little
bit of a blow up is an idiot, frankly, because
Trump has blow ups with everybody, especially the people that
are kind of his closest friends and allies. I mean, remember,
think back to twenty sixteen, the awful, horrible things that
he said about Marco Rubio, and now Marco Rubio is
in his cabinet. Think about Ted Cruz. You have a
dog wife, Ted, your wife is ugly as a dog.
(10:35):
He said that. Trump said that, And now they're like
best of buddies. They hang out all the time, they're
good friends. So I wasn't surprised by this. I'm not
losing any sleep over it, but it was kind of
disappointing to hear about it. I actually heard about this.
I heard somebody while I was eating dinner on the boat,
some guy at a table next to me who was
actually talking about this and explaining to his wife because
(10:56):
he was in touch he had bought the Internet package
explaining why Musk and Trump had kind of blown up
at each other. And it was all about the big
beautiful bill, which I saw that coming a mile away too.
I knew that was going to happen because Musk's whole
thing was I'm coming in and we're gonna cut the government. Right.
That was his deal with the voters. That was his pitch.
(11:18):
That was the agreement that he and Trump had. That's
why he was on the campaign trail, was to cut
government spending. Musk was in and of himself a tea
party movement. He was we keep hearing, oh is it
time for a second tea party movement? We just had one.
It was Elon Musk. He for six months did nothing
but say, hey, we're gonna cut government spending. I'm gonna
(11:39):
get into government. I'm gonna find all the ways fraud
and abuse, and we're gonna cut it. And then he
did that. He held up his end of the bargain.
He got Trump and aug fis like he said he
was gonna work to do. And then Trump appointed him
to doge like Trump said he was gonna do. And
then Elon went in to doge and he found a
bunch of waste and fraud and abuse like he said
he was going to do, and they canceled all those contracts,
(12:03):
and then Elon Musk turned to Congress and the Trump
administration and said, hey, here's all the stuff that we
don't need to be spending money on. Are you gonna
take all this out of the budget? And Trump said,
we're gonna have a big, beautiful bill. It's gonna be
big and beautiful. And we're not cutting the budget at all.
We're increasing the budget. We're gonna spend more money. And
so everyone's like, well, what the hell. Now, there's a
(12:26):
reasonable pitch on both sides. I understand the realities of
the situation that we're in. Obviously, we're not going to
get all the cuts that we need and want in
one budget bill. Anyone who's pushing for anything all right now,
you're being unrealistic. I understand the impulse to say, oh, well,
we have the majority, we can do it. We just
(12:49):
need everybody to vote with us. Well, here's the fact
of the matter. Everybody's not gonna vote with us. We're
not We're either gonna have to make some concession or
lose some Republican votes, and we don't have enough for
Puplicans in the Congress to lose those Republican votes. The
math ain't mathing. We have less than ten seats of
a majority, which means we can afford to lose no votes,
(13:10):
which means there's some modern Republicans that you're gonna have
to spend some extra money for them in order to
get them to vote for it. Now, you could say, well,
just don't do it. Shut down the government fair enough,
Then what what's your next move? You have the government
shut down until the next election. There's I'm not gonna
fight you on it, but that's not gonna happen. There's
(13:31):
what we want to happen, and the reality of the situation,
and those things don't add up. They don't meet each
other in the middle like we want them to. Now,
Elon Musk is completely right when he goes after the
Big Beautiful Bill, because that's what happened. Actually had Groc
dig through X and the Internet and create for me
a little bit of a summary of what happens so
that I can recite it back to you. So, according
(13:53):
to Droc, the feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump
erupted on June twenty twenty five over Trump's Big Beautiful Bill,
a mass of tax and spending plan. Musk, recently departed
from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency,
slammed the bill as a disgusting abomination that would balloon
the national debt. He's right, the big, beautiful bill is big,
(14:13):
and it will balloon the national debt. It's way more
spending than we need. We could cut more. Now, there's
a good chance that there's just no way to cut
more and have the votes we need to get it passed.
Fair enough, I understand that argument. We got to do better,
We got to get a bigger majority. At this point,
it's up to us, the voters. We have got to
be looking at people running for office and saying, hey,
(14:35):
are you more of a Thomas Massey type guy who's
going to actually cut the spending? And that's up to you,
the voters. That's not up to Trump, that's not up
to Congress. You have got to put the people in
office that are going to do that. That is your responsibility.
You can complain about it all you want, you can
get on Facebook and complain about it all you want,
But at the end of the day, if you're not
(14:56):
going to these town halls next year, because next year
is an election all these people are gonna be back up.
There's gonna be going for your vote. They want you
to vote for them. They're gonna have events, they're gonna
have town halls, they're gonna have little questionnaire sessions. If
you're not going to those and saying, hey, are you
going to cut the spending? Are you going to be
a Thomas Massey chip Roy hardline when it comes to
(15:19):
the budget. And if you're not asking those questions and
voting with that in mind, this is your fault. It's
not Trump's, it's not Elon Musk's, it's not even Mike Johnson's.
It's on you. You didn't give them the votes that
they need in Congress to do this. That's the big
takeaway from this whole explosion between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
(15:41):
Neither of them is wrong. This is a big part
of Trump's agenda. It includes a lot of his tax
plans that he promised the voters. It's important for him
to get this passed, and he's right to stand up
and defend it. That's his agenda. He should be pushing
for it. He should be even if it's too big,
he should be pushing for it at the same time,
Elon Musk should be pushing for the government to be smaller,
(16:04):
for the budget to be smaller. Both of them are
somewhat right and wrong. Elon must needs to understand that
he's not going to get everything he wants, even though
everything he wants is good and he should get it.
And Donald Trump is pushing for what he has to
push for because that's what he promised the voters. It's
up to you. You are the missing link here, the voters.
(16:28):
We need to give the GOP a stronger majority of
hard line Republicans. What does that mean. It means in
kind of spring of next year, when the primaries really
kick into gear, you need to look at the voting
records of the people who represent you and say, where
do you stand on budget issues? Are you going to
(16:49):
spend more or are you going to spend less? And
that's what you need to be doing. You need to
be looking at Thomas Massey and saying, hey, Trump is
going after this guy because he's in the way of
Trump's agenda. And rather than saying, okay, Thomas Massey needs
to be ousted, you need to be looking and saying, hey,
how do we get more people in Congress that can
(17:11):
kind of work with Trump and Thomas Massey and find
that middle point. That's what we have to be doing,
and it's up to the voters. The fact of the
matter is, one way or another, this bill is gonna
get passed. If you're a hardline fiscal conservative. I'm sorry
we lost this battle, and it's no one's fault but
ourselves because we didn't campaign hard enough. But at the
(17:32):
end of the day, Trump and Musk are gonna make nice.
They already seem to be doing that. This bill is
gonna get past whether we like it or not. We
have to look to the future. What can we do
in the future to make sure the next budget bill
is better? And the answer there is elections, So get
focused because we're coming up on that time. I've said
it before, I'll say it again. There's no political offseason.
All right, state to it. We'll be right back after
this break. All right, let's talk about it. Los Angeles
(18:18):
is on fire again? What else is new? I feel
like protesting and writing is like their official pastime. If
it's a day ending and why Los Angeles is burning
because of a protest over something stupid? This time it's
iced deportations. Guess what, people, if you come into the
country illegally, you get deported. It's called actions and consequences, right,
(18:44):
those things go together. When you do an action, there
are consequences. If your action is coming into the country illegally,
the consequence is you get arrested and deported. Now, the
people in Los Angeles, they are pissed off about this,
and this has kind of exploded. We've had national protests.
We've got a big series of protests that we've been
(19:05):
keeping our eye on, the No Kings protest that's going
to be even here in Houston. These protests are even
coming to Texas. We've had violence here in Texas, which
is weird because even in the George Floyd stuff, we
didn't have sort of the extreme violence that we had
in other parts of the country. We had a little
bit of kind of roughage, but it was kind of
(19:27):
toned down. But we've had some major arrests here recently,
especially in Austin, So that's definitely something to keep an
eye on. The fact that this is even spreading to Texas,
that's worth kind of looking at and being like, Okay,
what's going on here. But essentially this is the story.
In Los Angeles, a bunch of people have been arrested
(19:50):
for illegal immigration and they're being deported. They're illegal aliens.
They're not supposed to be here, so we're taking them
and we're sending them back to where they came from. Now,
we've had a lot of raids and whatnot in Los
Angeles because guess what, Los Angeles is a sanctuary city
inside a sanctuary state. So there's a lot of illegal
aliens there. That's what happens. And of course the citizenry
(20:13):
there is pissed off about this. Why, I don't know.
They don't know either. That I think is the dirty
little secret here. They don't understand why they're pissed off.
They're just pissed off because they were told to be
what we need to be getting to the bottom of
is Hey, who told these people to be pissed off?
Because they don't know and we don't know either. But anyway,
(20:35):
that's what's going on right now in La So here
is a video from one of those protests, and you'll
just have to listen to it because this is a
podcast slash radio show, so we don't have video. I'm
not that fancy yet. I'm working on it. I will
get a camera later. So anyway, this is what's going
on in California right now. Everybody's chanting, no one is
illegal on stolen land, and they're rallying the left wing
(20:58):
ridiculous troops. Take listen to all this nonsense.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
No, we made this city, this is our land.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
All the Mexicans, all the black people. It's racial stuff.
What else is new? What else is new? But this
argument really pisses me off more than any other that
you hear from the left. No one's illegal on stolen land.
And they tossed the Native Americans into this, the Indians. Oh,
(21:53):
these people are just doing to us what we did
to the Native Americans. So how can you be mad
at it? Okay, well, let me stop you right there.
I thought that was a bad thing. I thought the
white people coming in and taking the land from the
Native Americans was bad. That's what you told me. So
why would we then turn around and let someone do
the same thing to us? Right? That argument doesn't even
(22:15):
pass the sniff test. But this whole no one's illegal
on stolen landing. I've seen a lot of this lately.
A lot of people on X have been talking about well,
oh well, Mexico is just bart Or. California is just
part of Mexico, and the United States stole it. This
is stolen land. Okay, we didn't steal it. We won
the war. Okay, when you lose a war, that comes
(22:38):
with concessions. Some of those concessions were land. The United
States and Texas won two back to back wars with Mexico. Right,
we had the Texas Revolution, which was a bunch of
Americans in Texas fighting a war with Mexico, and then
we had the Mexico American War. All right. In both
of those wars, Mexico seated a bunch of territory. It
(23:01):
wasn't stolen. We fought a war, and then you signed
a document saying we could have it because we kicked
your ass. That's what happened. Don't hate me for saying it.
I speak the truth. This is what history tells us.
It's well documented. We fought the war, you lost the war,
you signed the document. Don't be a sore loser. Now,
(23:23):
you should have fought harder. I hate to bring it
to you. You should have won the war. That's it.
That's the whole story. If you wanted to keep control
of California. You should have won the war, but she didn't.
You can be mad at that all you want. The
only other option here is you fight another war and
try to take it back. I can tell you right
(23:43):
now that's not gonna go over. Well, you're not gonna
win that war. There is nothing that has changed since
the eighteen forties that has magically granted any of these
other countries that have been sending their citizens to the
United States the ability to be war. So guess what.
You can't have the land back. It's ours. I'm sorry,
(24:04):
we took it from you. We turned it into a
prosperous country. Cry about it. It's ours now, all right,
it's not stolen land. We conquered it fair and square.
We won the war. These are the rules of the game.
You can be mad about that all you want, but
you're not getting the land back. And when you riot
because you want the land back, we're gonna send our
military in and we're gonna put a stop to that
(24:27):
because that's not allowed either. And so that's what Trump
has done. Because in typical La Riot fashion, we've had
cars burning, we've had businesses falling apart, we've had disaster
in the streets, and so Trump said, hey, this is bad,
We're gonna call in the National Guard. We're gonna do
something about this, and shock of shocks, Gavin Newsom is
(24:50):
mad about this. So on day four of these riots,
which was I believe Monday Tuesday, I wasn't keeping try
because they started when I was out of town. According
to Bede Hobbs for KTRH on kterih dot com, the
anarchy continues. On day four of the violent ice protests
in Los Angeles, seven hundred US Marines are headed to
LA to assist seven hundred US Marines. Sorry, I might
(25:15):
cut out there. That's insane that this is escalated to
that point and that it took four days period, because
these riots have been going on for a while, We've
had the National Guard come in and now we have
the Marines come in, which is exactly what should happen.
Our troops should be reserved, exactly for situations like this.
We don't need our people in the Middle East, we
(25:35):
need them here. When these insurgents, these radical leftists come
into the country and try to burn things down and
wave foreign flags and say no, this land belongs to Mexico.
No it doesn't, it's ours. We'll fight you again for
it if we have to. Here's our military. Take a look.
That's what our military is for. So I'm glad they're there.
Gavin Newsom, he's not. He's firing a lawsuit about it.
(26:00):
This came out yesterday. Newsom suites to block military response
to LA riots. By Ethan Buchinnan ooh, look at that
kjeras dot com. Go give it a read. As violent
anti ice riots continue across the city of Los Angeles,
California Governor Gavin Newsom is essentially doing everything he can
to help the chaos continue. And that's exactly what's happening.
The authorities in Los Angeles County, the City of Los Angeles,
(26:22):
even the California state authorities. Clearly, we're not keeping tabs
on this. It's not hard to go on x and
find the footage of cars burning, of things being destroyed.
This was not a situation that was under control, and
so Trump stepped up, brought federal forces to bear, and
is cracking down on the situation, which is what he
should be doing, and Gavin Newsom issuing him over it.
(26:45):
For whatever reason. State of California filed a lawsuit against
the administration after the California National Guard was federalized and
deployed to LA to protect federal buildings and personnel. The
lawsuit alleges that the move was unlawful because Trump's circumed
Governor Newsom. He went on to call it a power grab,
and he also wants an emergency injunction to stop the
(27:07):
Marines from being deployed there. Why why do you want
this to happen? Why do you want your city, your town,
your state to burn to the ground for illegal aliens.
These are not your constituents. But this is what the
Democrats are sticking up for, not their citizens, not the
people who elected them, the illegal aliens. They're not worried
(27:28):
about the people who are having their city destroyed by rioters.
LA Mayor Karen bask goes out and says, no, we
don't need to stop the riots. We need to stop
the raids. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
We need to stop the raids. There should not be
happening in our city. It is not warranted and it
does an The only thing it does is contribute to chaos.
This was chaos that was started at Washington, DC on Thursday.
The city was peaceful on Friday. It was not because
(28:01):
of the intervention of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
No, Mayor Bass, that is a blatant and intentional lie.
It's not because of the innovation of the federal government,
and you know that. It's because of the fact that
you allowed your city, you and your party, allowed your
city and your state to become a hotbed for illegal immigration,
which is a crime. That's no different than allowing your
city to become a hotbed for murder or drugs or
(28:26):
rape or any other crime. It's all bad. And so
when the federal government, who is in charge of enforcing
the laws, stepped up to say no, we're going to
put a stop to this, not only did you not
help them, you allowed the rioters to completely take over
the city. You're actively making their jobs harder. And that's
why your city is a craphole. That's why, that's why
(28:50):
there's unrest, that's why there's writing. It's your fault because
you're siding with illegal aliens and not with your people.
And make no mistake, this is the whole Democratic Party
all guilty of this, every single one.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
All right, stay tuned, we'll be right back in just
a second, all.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Right, Since we're on the topic. Let's just stay on
the topic, talk about these protests and ice and deportation
a little bit longer, because I think this warrants. This
is big stuff, right, I think this is worth spending
some extra time on. So, in case you were wondering, No,
(29:41):
the people involved in this are not particularly bright. The
actual foot soldiers on the ground here, the people taking
part in these protests, these riots, these are not the uh.
They're not the prickliest cacti in the desert, so to speak.
They're not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They're not
the warmest cookies in the cookie jar, if you catch
(30:04):
my dick. They're a few fries short of a happy meal,
in my opinion. So here's a video that I found
that we're gonna just listen to and react to together
of this one guy, a man of Hispanic American persuasion.
I'm not sure what exactly, I frankly don't care. It
matters not to me. This guy's not particularly smart. Take
(30:26):
a listen to this guy talking to some on the
ground reporter at one of these protests, and I assume
this is Los Angeles. I don't have a lot of
details about where exactly this video came from, but I
know it's new, so I'm gonna assume it's the Los
Angeles riots. Take a listen to this guy.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
We don't agree with the term illegal. We're on document there.
We've been here for thousands of years before you guys
showed up screw up everything. We think we should organize
together with the US working class and fight together and create.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Okay, let me stop him right there. We'll not agree
with the term illegal. We're undocumented. We've been here for
thousands of years. Okay, let me stop you right Theray,
you haven't. If you'd been here for thousands of years,
you'd be a naturalized US citizen. You haven't been here
for a thousand You just got here. You hopped across
the border over the last several years, and now we're
sending you back. That's what happened. Nobody who's been here
(31:20):
is being deported. Nobody who's supposed to be here is
being deported. I should say, because there's people that have
been here for a while that shouldn't be they are
getting deported. But nobody who's like a legitimate occupant of
the land is being deported. It's just not happening. There's
this narrative being pushed mostly by radical idiots on the left,
(31:40):
that Trump is just grabbing up brown people and kicking
him out because he's a white supremacist or something. That's
not what's happening. Legal Hispanic Americans are not being touched.
It's illegal aliens that are getting deported. This guy doesn't
know that, and now he makes this a class issue
and goes into socialism. Take a listen to this a.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Vetter system where anti capitalist. We think socialism does work,
real socialism, not Venezuela, not Cuba. Noted that, all.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Right, this is the line they always drop. Real socialism works.
We think socialism works. No, it doesn't. We can show
you all the cases where it didn't work. Here's all
the nations that have tried it and failed. That wasn't
real socialism. Real socialism does work, all right, goober. The
guy interviewing him asked the perfect question.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Take a listen after they try to sell us in socialism,
and where we leave it would be a more humane
system that will take care of most of all people's necessities.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Is there a country we can look to to kind
of model the socialism idea?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
The only model would be Soviet Union. In the first
four years. After that, it became a mess.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's good, that's good, that's funny stuff. This is hey,
I didn't know any better. I would think this is
I really would. Can you give me an example of
real socialism working? The Soviet Union? Okay, that was kind
of a disaster. That's why the whole country collapsed. I
(33:13):
mean short of one hundred years. They didn't even clear
thee hundred year mark before that entire country collapsed. Well,
the first four years was pretty good, and then everything
went terrible. Yeah, that's the point, everything went terrible immediately.
Your one example of socialism working lasted a full four
(33:34):
years before everything went to crap, and then less than
one hundred years later, the country caved in on itself
like a dying star. That's what you've got for me, Really,
come on, do better.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Sadly, there was a bureaucrat leadership that grew out of that,
but it has to do mainly with the attacks of
the US and all big power against that's system that
was working.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
He literally says it was it was the bureaucrats that
ended up ruining everything, And he's right. It was just
like it always is with every form of government. The
bureaucrats are the ones in the way. So here's a
good idea. Give the bureaucrats as little power as possible. Right,
that way, they can't screw up everything. But socialism does
(34:27):
the opposite of that. It gives the bureaucrats as much
power as possible. And then he blames it on the
United States. I don't even know how you get there.
It's the bureaucrats fault in the Soviet Union, but actually
it's the United States. Okay, which is it? Because it
can't be both. It's either the bureaucrats or it's the
United States. You gotta pick one. You can't have it
(34:48):
both ways. This guy doesn't even know what he's talking about.
He's read the talking points. That's it. That's all he's
got is the talking points. Sorry, I'm drinking a lot
of water. I don't know if you can tell. I've
been drinking it the entire show. I had got severely
dehydrated on the cruise. Drink your water, folks, anyway. So
(35:08):
the Trump administration is not backing down on this, by
the way, as they shouldn't. They're keeping the pedal to
the metal. Which is exactly what they should be doing.
Here's Tom Holman on Fox. He's saying, listen, we don't
care about your riots, we don't care about the quote
unquote resistance. We're going to enforce the law whether you
like it or not. We're not letting up our foot
(35:28):
is on the gas, oh.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
I say lab As a matter of fact, we got
over one hundred teams out today enforce an immigration law,
and we're going to flood the zone. I've said for months,
thanks for your cities. You don't want us arrest these
bad guys that you just listened out. We could arrest
them in safety and security of the county jail, but
they won't let us into jail. They released them into
the community, which means we got sent a whole bunch
of teams in the community to find this dangerous person
(35:52):
that don't want to be found. So Sanctuary City is
going to get exactly what they don't want. More officers
in the communities and more officers and work. We can't
arrestment in jail or a wrestlement in the community. If
we can't wrestle in the community, We're going to increase
work selle enforcement operations We're gonna flood the zone and
base on Elli's doing right now. We're going to continue
to flood the zones. We're gonna be there tonight, We're
gonna be there tomorrow. We're gonna be there every day
(36:14):
in the next four years. Arrest in public safety, trade
illegal aliens. We're not gonna apologize for doing it. So
we're not going anywhere Jesse. We're gonna do the job
the American people voted Donald Trump in office for. We're
gonna make America safe again, one illegal alien criminal at
a time. And this is another reason we need a big,
beautiful bill pass so we can hire more ICE agents,
get more technology, and help us find these people. Look,
(36:36):
we got over twenty million illegal aliens in this country.
We only got we got less than five thousand deportation officers.
We're out numbered. You want more criminals taking off the street,
You want more efficient operations than they need to pass
this bill and fund Dice and funded Borbito to keep
President Trunk's promised to American people.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
That clip kind of gets back to what I was
talking about in the last segment. All this unrest, all
this violence, it's the fault of the people in charge
in these places, like Homan points out, we could be
doing this in the jails. We could be saying, hey,
this person is in this jail. They're not supposed to
be in this country. We're gonna go get them in
the jail. That's the thing that does happen. It happens
(37:15):
here in Harrison County. We do that. This does not
have to be in the public eye at all, because
the dirty little secret about these illegal aliens is most
of them are committing more crimes. Most of them are
putting themselves in a position where they're arrested. We could
just be handing them off to the Feds and calling
it a day. But the radical left doesn't want that.
(37:35):
They want the scene. They want everybody to lose their
mind about it so that they can go and campaign
on it. And Homan is correct to point out the
blame for this is on these officials. It is Karen
Bass's fault, It is Gavin Newsom's fault that this is happening.
It is I mean, I just did a story about
(37:56):
this this morning for KTRH, talking about the fact that listen,
the left is losing their minds because ICE agents and
officials are going into courthouses and arresting illegal Indians that
are there. This is what we want. This isn't radical,
this isn't ridiculous, this is safe. This is a good
way to do this. Hey, we know that these people
(38:17):
are in these courthouses. We know when they're in the courthouses,
they've gone through the screening. They're not a threat to
anybody else. Let's arrest them there while they're not a
threat to the community. Rather than saying no, turn them out,
let them loose amongst the community, and then we'll have
big riots when you try to arrest them. Make that
strategy make sense. The only way to do this and
(38:38):
make it make sense is you want the political points.
And that's what this is all about. The Democrats, these
radical leftists, they just want to make a scene so
that you'll go vote for them. Don't fall forward. All right,
that's all we've got for this episode. It's great to
be back. I hope you've been listening. I hope you've
been keeping up with me on social media, even though
I haven't really been posting much. You know where to
(38:59):
find me. It's the description. Will be back on Sunday
on a m nine fifty KPRC. This is the next
