Listen to The Next-Gen Report live! Sundays at 7:00 p.m. on AM950, KPRC.
Multiple radical left judges across the United States are now being accused by the Trump administration of helping illegal aliens avoid being taken into custody. They're now being arrested for it.
Leftists continue to believe that the best and only answer to all of life’s questions is, "Just let the federal government handle it." Nowhere is that more true than in the world of education.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Hey, good evening, Houston. How are we I'm doing great.
I hope you are too. This is the Next Gen Report.
I am Ethan Buchanan. It is a pleasure to once
again be with you. Thank you once again to Ted
Cruz for giving me that amazing hour long intro called
The Verdicts with Ted Cruz. Check it out, guys, it's
a good show. If you tuned in for this, thank you.
(00:47):
If you tuned in for that, you missed it. Sorry.
All right, I want to start off today with just
a couple of quick housekeeping things. First of all, I
want to remind you that we do do a bonus
podcast every Wednesday. This show on Sundays at seven here
on AM nine to fifty KPRC. But of course every
Wednesday we have the bonus podcast that is only a podcast.
(01:09):
You cannot find that on the air. You can't tune
and listen. You have to go look for it, all right.
Usually we do that on Wednesday mornings. Last Wednesday, due
to a technical issue, it ended up going out later.
But it's always good fresh stuff. It's stuff that I
think is important and I want you to be aware
of because I think it's going to have a lasting
impact on the culture, the country, anything really. So that's free.
(01:31):
It's on the iHeartRadio app or any other place you
get your podcasts, Spotify, Apple Podcasts wherever. And of course
this show is re uploaded to that podcast as well
on Monday mornings. So if you want to re listen
to anything tonight, if you miss part of the show
and you want to catch up, Hey podcasts and you
can go listen to last week's shows and it's all
right there. It's all available. So I want to encourage
(01:54):
you to go check that out, go listen to it,
stay up to date. That's the next hyphen Gen Report,
Gean Report. It's everywhere you get your podcast to check
it out. Secondly, there's a couple of ways that you
can get in touch with me for really any particular reason.
If you want to talk more about something I've covered,
if you want to talk to me about something else
or something you want me to cover, if you have
(02:14):
random thoughts or quibbles, really anything, I always welcome in.
I love interacting with people. That's why I do this.
I'm a people person. I'm on x Underscore Ethan Buchanan,
I'm on Instagram, the Dot, Ethan Buchanan. And of course,
if you're listening right now on the free iHeartRadio app,
if you look there's a little microphone button in the
corner there. That's the talkback button. You can use that
talkback button. You can record thirty seconds that goes directly
(02:38):
to me. And it can be about anything you want
it to be about. All right, and hey, if it's good,
if it's thoughtful, if it's inside, we might play it
over the air. I'd love to hear from you that
way too, that would be fantastic. All right, Let's start
off today by digging into something that I meant to
talk about on Wednesday, but for a myriad of reasons,
there was just other stuff. I didn't get to it.
But I want to talk about it now because it's
(02:58):
gonna play into something that we're going to talk about
Monday morning on our sister station, KATECRH. That's Houston's Morning News.
So tune in for that because we're going to dig
into this a little bit more. We've been talking a
lot over the last several weeks. Basically at least once
an episode, once a show, I will hit on the
Teriff issue. And here's why it's important. We've been talking
about it primarily in the context of economics, and it
(03:20):
is an economic issue obviously. That is kind of the
biggest kind of facet of this issue is the economic side.
There also is a pretty significant national security issue at
stake here. I don't think we think about this because
we haven't really been in a major war in a
very very very long time. When we went into World
War One and two, where was most of the stuff
(03:40):
that we use for those wars made? It was made
right here in the United States. And not just sort
of the weapons and the vehicles and whatnot, the kind
of practical things, the kit that the soldiers wear, that
was all made in the United States. But of course
all the secondary stuff that an army has to have,
you know, pots and pans to cook for the army.
(04:01):
Armies need those, and usually those are made in the
United States. Are they used to be? Now that's not
really the case anymore. The most important thing to any
army is medicine, medical equipment. Maybe not the most important thing.
The most important thing is probably bullets and weapons, But
the second most important thing is without a doubt, medical
supplies and equipment. Because if a soldier gets hurt you
(04:24):
want to be able to kind of patch that soldier
up and maybe have him keep fighting, or send him
to the to the back for a little bit so
he can recover, and then bring him back up to
the front line so he can keep fighting. Either way,
you're gonna need medical equipment. Right Well, here's the big
problem that we have ninety percent of our medical equipment
right now, ninety percent of our medical industry, so that's
medical equipment, that's the drugs themselves, pharmaceuticals, the ingredients to
(04:45):
the pharmaceuticals. Ninety percent of all of that is made
in China. I don't know how familiar you are with
US China relations, but they aren't too great right now.
We're kind of at odds right now. China is looking
very seriously at Taiwan. We have a vested in in
China not invading Taiwan. If China invades Taiwan, there's a
good chance that we somehow get involved in that. Fingers cross.
(05:08):
It's not boots on the ground, fingers cross, it never happens.
But there is realities not too far off in the
future where we could be at war, in a hot
war with China. If they're making all of our drugs,
all of our medical equipment at a time when we
go to war with China, we're kind of screwed. Imagine
if Nazi Germany was manufacturing all of our bandages and
(05:31):
all of our medication, all of our morphine, when we
went to war with Nazi Germany, we'd be pretty sol right.
I think we can all agree that that's bad. So
how do we get that back to the United States. Well,
one way to do that is tariff's. Obviously, you're going
to need to add extra incentives on top of that.
Tariff is the incentive to get out of China, the
incentive to come into the United States. That's things like
(05:54):
tax credits, tax breaks. You basically have to say to
all these medical companies, Listen, not only are we going
to make it difficult for you to do business like
this in China, We're going to make it easy for
you to do that business here in the United States.
Why because we want you here in the United States.
We want you to be making things using American labor
so that Americans can benefit off of that. And more importantly,
(06:16):
we want it readily available and on hand, so that
in the event God forbid that we end up in
a hot war with somebody, we're ready to fight that war.
We are not ready to fight a war with China
right now. And I don't think we should assume that
a war with China is imminent, but even if there's
a slight possibility, we should be prepared for this. So
why don't I tell you this. I'm not telling you
this to scare you. I'm telling you this to kind
(06:37):
of put what I'm about to tell you in context.
I think Trump recognizes that this is a problem. Anyone
with announce of common sense should be able to recognize
that this is a problem. So this may very well
be a big motivator behind the tariffs, and I think,
frankly it is. So We've got a headline from Breitbart
that I was going to talk about on Wednesday, but
I didn't get a chance to Swiss pharma giant Roche
to invest fifty plus billion in the United States. Swiss
(07:01):
pharmaceutical giant Roach announced Tuesday it will invest upwards of
fifty billion dollars in the United States over the next
five years, a move that follows in the wake of
President Donald Trump's announcement of a proposed tariff on imported drugs. Obviously,
this is a good thing. This will be a long term,
great thing. We want this money in the United States,
but more importantly, we want the manufacturing of this medical
(07:22):
equipment to be happening in the United States so that
if God forbid, there's a war or an emergency where
we need this stuff, we have it readily available and
on hand. Listen, we have got to be thinking long
term about our foreign policy and our economics. Get out
of the short term. Life doesn't happen in the short term.
It happens in the long term. Think long and hard.
China has one hundred year plans. We need to be
(07:43):
on that boat. All right, stay tuned. We've got a
great show coming up for you right here. This is
the Next Gen Report on AM nine to fifty KPRC.
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We have some very tragic but very important news that
we have absolutely got to talk about. We've got to
talk about this. It is getting talked about, Praise God,
thanks to people largely on Twitter that have big platforms
built up there that are willing to discuss this. This
could not be more important. All right, we are all
(08:37):
familiar with Jeffrey Epstein. You know he's the guy that
didn't kill himself. I won't get too into detail about
kind of who he is and what all he's accused
of doing, because one, I think most people already know,
and two, I think it's important for this show to
be available to younger people and maybe even families. And
I frankly don't think that I can discuss in detail
Jeffrey Epstein and his background and what he's doing while
(09:00):
still marketing this show to young people in families, at
least not in good conscience. So I'm not gonna do that.
If you're curious about who Jeffrey Epstein is and you
somehow don't know, give him a quick google. I'll just
tell you this right now. He did not kill himself,
all right. What I will say about kind of his crimes,
and I will say alleged, because I believe he was
found guilty of some of these things. He was involved
(09:20):
in some acts with some people that were too young
for him to be involved in those acts with, and
you can connect the dots there, dig into the context
a little bit. I think we all know what I'm
talking about here. This isn't complicated.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
One of the big allegations here is that he was
assisting other global elites and also participating in some of
those acts with some of those people that again they
should not have been participating in. And so of course
he quote unquote killed himself before he was able to
really testify against everybody. This has been a big topic,
a big issue for Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of
(09:57):
the United States, who made a big deal about releasing
the Epstein files, about releasing the client list of Jeffrey Epstein,
and she still has not done that. She keeps going
on Fox News and talking about how the client list
is sitting on her desk, how she has that information
and any day now it's gonna come out. She just
has to review it. No, you don't release it, all
(10:19):
of it right now, unredacted. Give us all of the information.
Here's why it's important that we have all of the
information around everyone who may or may not have been
involved in this. Jeffrey Epstein, accuser of Virginia Guphrey, has
died of suicide quote unquote allegedly suicide. So Virginia Guffrey,
she was one of these girls who was too young
(10:42):
to be participating in the acts that she was participating
in with Jeffrey Epstein and allegedly other world deletes, And
she has been one of the people that has been
very vocally accusing Jeffrey Epstein and leading the charge against
these people. So it stands to reason that if Jeffrey
Epstein didn't kill himself, she probably either. Right now, again,
I'm trying very hard not to be a conspiracy theorist.
(11:04):
I really don't want to be a conspiracy theorist. I
don't want to be labeled a conspiracy theorist. But in
situations like Jeffrey Epstein, I think most people realize that
somebody somewhere is lying about what happened. He did not
kill himself. He was killed in that New York prison.
He was and it stands to reason that those same
people also have a vested interest in killing one of
(11:25):
his main accusers, Virginia Guffrey. All right, now, I want
us all to be aware of the fact that this
is a young woman who dealt with horrible, horrible things
in her life, and it is very possible that she
did finally just kind of break down and commit suicide.
And if that's the case, that is tragic. Even if
(11:46):
that's not the case, she is dead, and that is
also tragic. Regardless of how she got dead, the fact
that she's dead is a tragedy. All right, let's all
just recognize that be in prayer for anyone she knows,
her family, people that may be impacted by her death,
because this is a tragedy. This is a young woman
who has died. I will say she tweeted out back
in twenty nineteen. I am making it publicly known that
(12:07):
I am in no way, shape or form suicidal. I
have made this known to my therapist and GP if
something happens to me, for the sake of my family,
do not let this go away and help me protect them. Too.
Many evil people want to see me quieted. So I
don't know. Man, that's a little suspicious. That's weird that
she would tweet that and then just a few years
(12:27):
later kill herself allegedly. I mean that it has been
sometime since twenty nineteen. That was almost six years ago,
seven years ago actually, so it is possible that her
mental state, her mental condition changed. I don't know. I'm
not for sure. Regardless, we have got to see these
Epstein files because the window to prosecute the people that
(12:48):
Jeffrey Epstein was providing these young girls too. The window
to prosecute those people is closing very quickly. Remember, the
government has the files. The government has the documents. We
know from Gishline Maxwell trial that there were people that
were being provided young girls to do inappropriate acts with
by Epstein. Who are those people? We know their names,
(13:10):
The government has their names. Why have we not seen prosecution.
Why there is no good reason. I don't care about
the national security implications. That's been the excuse. We have
to make sure that the privacy is protected, the national
security is protected. Bull crap. Tell us who these people
are and bring them to justice because things like this
are gonna keep happening. PAMBONDI quit doing Fox News interviews,
(13:34):
sit down at your desk, and release the freaking Epstein
files right now. Thankfully, there are good people inside the
conservative movement that are locking in on this issue. Tom
Fitten with Judicial Watch I'm sure you've heard of them before.
They're basically like a watchdog for the courts and the government, etc. Etc.
They're now taking the federal government to court over these
Epstein files. Listen, I love Donald Trump as much as
(13:56):
the next guy. We need to be putting immense pressure
on the entire Trump administs to release these Epstein files.
We need to be going to court if that's what
it takes. That's what Tom Fitten and Judicial Watch are doing.
Take a listen to him making that announcement. This was
just yesterday, shortly after the news about Virginia Guffrey's death broke.
He put this video out saying, Hey, we've had enough.
(14:17):
We're going to court. We're suing for these records.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
So Judicial Watch just sued for the Epstein files. We
want the client lists, we want the documents the Justice
Department and the FBI have about this scandal. We've been
getting stonewalling. So despite the release of some records, it
looks like other records haven't been released yet. Indeed, they
haven't responded to our base afia requests for this information.
That's why we're federal court now. The best way to
(14:42):
understand what records are available, wish records are being held secret,
and where did they look for the records is to
be in court. And that's where Judicial Watch is and
that's what we specialize in doing, getting secrets from the
government they don't want you to know about, and people
want to know about the Epstein scandal, and we aim
to get to the again.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I cannot stress enough how important it is that we
get these files. We have got to be demanding these files.
We have got to be going to court for these files.
We cannot be making exceptions. We need these files. The
public needs these files. We do, Thank god, there are
groups out there like Judicial Watch that are working hard
to get them. Okay, let's talk about something else real quick.
In the last few minutes of this segment. We've got
(15:23):
the primaries already going on. The midterms are next year. Basically,
people are already fighting. There's already campaigns on the run.
John Cornyan versus Ken Paxton for a Senate seat in Texas.
That is a big race. It is probably the biggest
of this cycle, at least here in Texas. Now. Cornan
is suffering really bad. People in Texas don't like him.
(15:44):
The GOP base does not like him. He is struggling
really bad. He really wants to hold onto his seat.
Most of Texas really wants him out. The GOP base
really really likes Ken Paxton. So Cornan is in trouble.
So right now, the only thing he has to go
on him is the legal issues that Can Paxton had
a few years ago. He got impeached, he got acquitted obviously,
(16:04):
because those impeachment charges were garbage. It was basically just
a bunch of fake uniparty Republicans inside the Texas House
that worked with the Democrats to impeach him on nothing.
They had no evidence. They never did. They impeached Ken Paxton,
the Senate acquitted him. That should have been the end
of story. But no, John Cornyn is trying to run
on this against Ken Paxton. And not only is he
running on this against Ken Paxton, he's openly lying about it.
(16:28):
So he accused Ken Paxton of during that trial, that
Senate impeachment trial, pleading the Fifth That never happened. At
no point did Ken Paxton plea the Fifth. So, just
to give you some context, playing the Fifth is when say,
for example, you're accused of murder. You're brought onto the
stand to testify, and the prosecuting attorney asks you, hey,
did you kill that guy? You're under oath you have
(16:50):
to answer truthfully, but you also have the Fifth Amendment
right to not say anything that will incriminate yourself, So
you can just say, I plea the Fifth. I'm not
going to answer that question. I plead the Fifth Amendment.
I have the right not to incriminate myself. Now that's
basically an admission of guilt. Technically, legally, no, it's not,
but in the court of public opinion it is. That's
basically saying, yeah, I did it, but I don't want
(17:11):
to tell you. So Ken Paxton never did that. He
never pleaded the Fifth, he was never even testifying. Cornyn
is saying that because Paxton's attorneys made a motion to
exempt him from testifying, that's tantamount to pleading the Fifth.
It's not. People do that all the time in criminal trials.
That is commonplace. Fence attorneys almost always try to keep
(17:32):
their clients off the stand because that's just an extra
hassle that they don't want to have to deal with.
John Cornyn was the attorney general for the state of Texas.
He knows this, and he's blatantly lying. So ask yourself,
is that the kind of person that you want representing
you in the Senate? I would venture to guest no.
For me personally, the answer is no. All right, stand by,
We've got more coming up right after this. I Methin
(17:52):
Bcannon this is the next Generport, all right, let's talk
(18:15):
about it. The evil fascist, dictatorial Trump administration. There are
arresting judges. Now, how terrible, how horrible they're throwing their
political opponents in prison. Weird that the left is all
of a sudden so terribly opposed to this. All right,
So there are a couple of cases of this that
(18:36):
really kind of blew up and made the headlines, one
more so than the other. We're gonna start with the
smaller one first from Breitbart News. Disgraced New Mexico judge
and wife arrested after allegedly harboring Trend Day Aragua gang members.
Out of controlled judges must be held accountable. A disgrace
New Mexico magistrate judge and his wife are under arrest
after they allegedly harbored reported Trend Day Aragua gang members.
(19:00):
The judge resigned from his position last week after immigration
and Customs enforcement officials arrested a Venezuelan man said to
be living on his property. ICE law enforcement officials arrested
recently resigned magistrate judge joel Cano and his wife, Nancy,
at their home in Las Crucus, New Mexico, on Thursday.
Ice officials executed a search warrant and probable cause warrant
(19:22):
and took them into custody. Fox fourteen al Passo reported
joel Cano is currently charged with tampering with evidence and
his wife is charged with conspiracy to tamper. The report states,
all right, now, listen, I know the first reaction from
the right is to blast these people for this, and
that's fair. Obviously, blast these people for this. But at
the same time, you have to give them credit because
(19:45):
for a long time, the argument from the right has
been listen, if you want these illegal immigrants to come
into this country so badly, why don't you house them.
That's a good point. The right has been making a
good point for a very long time. And shout out
to this judge and his wife for putting their money
where their mouth is actually housing this illegal alien. Good job, guys,
(20:07):
good job. I mean, you have to respect that at
the very least, come on, at least they did what
they were trying to get the entire United States to do.
So I have to respect that. Do I think they
should have done it? Know, but I respect the fact
that their actions are consistent with what they're preaching. So
there is that Now, of course, that's just one of two,
(20:30):
and the second one is the one that has been
exploding exploding. Now, if you've just been following the left
wing mainstream news on Twitter or wherever else they may be,
you would think that Donald Trump is actually Adolf Hitler
and is doing Night of the Long Knives, just knocking
out his political opponents. That's not what's happening. That's pretty
clearly not what's happening if you look into the case
(20:53):
even slightly. So let's do that. Let's dig into it here.
This is kind of the quick summary from Charlie Kirk.
He says breaking FBI Director Cash Bettel has announced the
arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan for obstructing ice during
the arrest of an illegal alien. Pattel said, quote, we
believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the
(21:13):
subject to be arrested in her courthouse Eduardo Flores Ruez,
allowing the subject, an illegal alien, to evade arrest. He
went want to say that Dugan has been arrested on
charges of obstruction of justice. He went on to say
that their agents chase down the purp on foot and
he's been in custody ever since. But the judge's obstruction
created and increased danger to the public. So I think
(21:36):
it's worthwhile to take a look at who is this
illegal alien that Judge Dugan was trying to protect. Here.
That's a worthy question, right, I mean, if you're willing
to obstruct justice in your own courtroom as a judge
to protect an illegal alien, there's got to be a
good reason for that, right. This has got to be
some like stand up guy who's being just actively persecuted wrongly.
(21:58):
That would, of course, I think we all agree, necessitate
some obstruction of justice. If this guy is just being
put upon by the system, and this judge stands up
and says, I'm the lesser magistrate here, I'm going to
use my power to protect you from the people above me.
So was that the case? No, this guy's a dirtbag.
Homeland Security DHS dot gov put out on Twitter a
(22:18):
statement about this guy because obviously he's a major player
in the national news now so here he is. Atuardo
Flores Ruez, the illegal alien that the Wisconsin judge was shielding,
has a violent criminal record, with charges including strangulation, suffocation, battery,
domestic abuse. He illegally entered the US twice, two times.
(22:38):
That's a felony. You can't do that. You are not
allowed to do that. That is a felony. Illegally entering
the United States twice, that is against the law. It
is very much a crime, on top of all the
other crimes that he's done, violent abusive crimes that he's committed.
And yet this ridiculous judge thought that this guy was
worthy of her protection illegally in the courtroom. So Pamba,
(23:00):
US Attorney General, she would be better off as a spokesperson.
I'm gonna be honest. She hasn't done anything on the
Epstein file, so like we've talked about in the last segment,
but I will say she's a great spokesperson for the
Department of Justice. So here she is basically giving her
summary of what exactly happened on that day in that
courtroom that led to this judge being arrested. Take a listen,
(23:20):
and to.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Set the stage for you and Sandra, this was truly horrific.
This guy was in court being prosecuted by a state
prosecutor for domestic violence battery. He had beat up two people,
a guy and a girl, beat the guy the hit
guy thirty times, knocked him to the ground, choked him,
beat up a woman so badly they both had to
(23:41):
go to the hospital. And John, you know, it's so
rare for victims to want to cooperate. They wanted to cooperate.
They were sitting in the courtroom with the state prosecutor.
The judge learns that Ice was outside to get the
guy because he had been deported in twenty thirteen, came
back in our country, commits these crimes, charged with committing
these crimes, victims in court.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Judge finds out.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
She goes out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers.
She's furious, visibly shaken, upset, sends them off to talk
to the chief judge. She comes back in the courtroom.
Here can believe this, takes the defendant and the defense
attorney back in her chambers, takes them out of private
exit and tells them to leave while a state prosecutor
(24:23):
and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Okay, absolutely, anyone in everyone should be outraged by this. Furious.
How in the world does a person like that get
into the position of being a judge. That is insane.
This is an insane woman. The fact that she would
look at this illegal alien, who on top of being
an illegal alien, which is illegal, that's why it's called
an illegal alien, is in the name, all right. He's
(24:49):
also got an incredibly violent history. Makes the case that
this is someone that should be in this country. Make
that case to me, I dare you, I double dare you.
You can't. But this judge thinks, yeah, not only should
he be in the country, I'm gonna break the law
to keep him here. I'm gonna break the law to
keep him here. Thank god that the authorities were able
to one arrest the suspect and to arrest this judge.
(25:11):
Now the left is losing their freaking minds about this.
They have gone absolutely bonkers. Democrat Rep. Ro Kanna said,
the FBI arrested a Wisconsin judge who stood up for
due process for immigrants. This is unprecedented. All of us
need to stand up and speak out against arresting judges
in this country. We are living in dangerous times. That's
not what happened. I just told you what's happened. She
(25:32):
did not get arrested for standing up for due process
of illegal aliens. She got arrested for aiding and abetting
the attempted escape of an illegal alien from just custody.
Democrat Senator from Minnesota Tina Smith, understand what this is.
If Cash Betel and Donald Trump don't like a judge,
they think they can arrest them. This is stunning. We
most stand up to this blatant power grab. Republicans. How
(25:54):
is this not a red line for you? Really, Tina Smith, Really,
that's not what's happening here at all. You darn well
know it. You are such a dirty, dirty liar. Representative
Jamie Raskin echoing those thoughts, This is a drastic escalation
and dangerous new front in Trump's authoritarian campaign of trying
to bully, intimidate, and impeach judges who won't follow his dictates.
(26:15):
He must do whatever we can to defend the independent
judiciary in America. What happened to No one is above law.
What happened to that she pretty clearly is obstructing justice here.
She helped this guy escape from the courtroom. That's what happened.
This is such a great example of the left hypocrisy
because they're losing their minds over this. But this is
the same people who threw Donald Trump in jail over
(26:36):
bs charges. He was the former president of the United States.
A president has never been criminally indicted before. The Democrats
broke that glass ceiling over nothing so that they could
go after Donald Trump because he was their political opponent.
That's what happened. And now these same people, Harry Sisson,
for example, Democrat activists, paid Democrat activists. I should note
(26:56):
Magga is screaming rule of law and nobody is above
it after Trump arrests a judge in Wisconsin. But when
Trump breaks the law, is convicted of thirty four felonies
and has multiple indictments still pending, they vote for him.
They don't actually care about the law. Yet we do
care about the law, which is why we reject your
political attacks. And then when a Wisconsin judge plainly and
clearly breaks the law to aid in a bet and
(27:17):
illegal alien, we say she needs to be in jail.
I mean, this really is such a perfect example of
the double standards of the left. I mean again, I
can't say this enough. This is the party that was
screaming for years as they prosecuted the former president of
the United States that no one is above the law.
But the moment you turn that on them and say, listen,
(27:38):
we have clear examples of your people. Your judge is
openly violating the law all of a sudden and out
of the blue, for no particular reason. Arresting, you know,
people of the opposite political party is suddenly a problem.
Where were you when Trump was being arrested for nonsense,
for stuff you didn't even do? For Leticia James probably
did do. Brian Kressstein and other big left wing account
(28:01):
on Twitter tweeted out, are we going to start arresting
Tyson chicken plant managers and Midwest farmers for helping undocumented
immigrants attain employment and evade arrest? He's not kidding, by
the way, He's being one hundred percent honest. He thinks
doing that would be a bad thing. I'm one hundred
percent there. Yes, anyone who's aiding and abetting an illegal alien,
helping them stay in the United States against the law,
(28:22):
absolutely arrest them up and down the line. A Tyson
Chicken plant manager, or a judge in Wisconsin or a
judge in New Mexico. If you're violating the law to
help an illegal alien stay in the United States, you
should be punished for that. It's good that you're being
punished for that. You guys wanted this. You said no
one's above the law. We're holding you to that. You
made your bed, now you're gonna lie in it. This
(28:43):
is what you wanted. Congratulations, you got it. No one's
above the law anymore. All right, stand by, We've got
another break real quick, and then we'll be right back
with more great stuff. This is the next Gen Report.
(29:21):
All right, some good, big good news here in Texas.
We did finally get school choice passed out of both
the House and the Senate. Now, the school choice bill
that we got has some pretty big holes in it,
things that are gonna need to be worked one over
the next couple of years. That's okay. We can have
a starting point. Having a starting point is good and
(29:41):
it's fine. This was never going to be perfect, especially
with the people running the Texas House that are currently
running the Texas House. We got the best that we
could and we can go from there. I'm willing to
accept that and say we'll take another swing at it,
will strengthen this stuff in the next session. That's fine
with me. Am I completely happy about it. Do I
wish we had a better version of school choice, a
(30:01):
more efficient, more open version of school choice. Yes, absolutely.
But am I willing to look at a small win
as a win? Yes? I am so. Good job everybody.
We got school choice fantastic. Here's why that's important of
all people to make the case that school choice was important.
Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, appointed by Joe Biden, a terrible judge,
(30:25):
very stupid woman, very stupid woman. She was asked by
the Senate do you know what a woman is? And
she said, I'm not a biologist. God in heaven, woman,
how dumb do you have to be? But hey, that's
the radical left for you. If they're not a biologist,
they can't tell you what a woman is, even if
they want to sit on the freaking US Supreme Court.
But hey, what the hell she got onto the Supreme Court.
(30:47):
She's a Supreme Court justice. Now we're stuck with her
until she dies or resigns. I don't like her. I
don't think she's a smart woman, as I've already said,
I think she's very dumb. But even a broken clock
is right at least twice a day. And this is
what we had happen here. With Katanji Brown Jackson. So
there was a case being heard by the Supreme Court
Mahmood versus Taylor, And basically the case is about whether
(31:11):
or not LGBT themed books are appropriate to be in
elementary schools, if elementary school children should have access to
these books. Now, if you're a person with common sense,
you would say, okay, elementary school children do not need
to be learning about gay sex. It's not important. They don't.
They probably don't need to be learning about any sex
at all because they're in freaking elementary school. This shouldn't
(31:32):
be controversial, but somehow it made it to the Supreme Court.
One of the arguments against these books being in elementary
schools is coming from the religious right. They're saying, listen,
we don't think this stuff is appropriate. We think this
stuff is in violation of our religion. We don't want
our elementary school children learning about this. That should be
common sense. Now, Judge Jackson actually goes and she counters
this by giving the school choice argument. If you don't
(31:54):
like what the schools are teaching, send your kid to
a different school.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Take a listen, And I guess I'm struggling to say,
see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise. If the
school teaches something that the parent disagrees with, you have
a choice. You don't have to send your kid to
that school. You can put them in another situation.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
You don't have to send them to that school. You
can put them in another situation. Now, in an ideal world,
she'd be absolutely right. If you don't like what your
school is teaching, just take your kid put it in
another school. Here's the problem with that as it currently
stands right now in most places. Even if you say,
oh my gosh, what this school is teaching is immoral
and wrong and I don't want my child to be
learning it, I'm gonna take my kid and I'm gonna
(32:35):
put them in a private school that doesn't teach that. Well,
guess what, now you have to pay for that private school.
And that's not affordable to everybody. It's not. Here's the
other problem. What you're still doing is paying for that
public school that's teaching what you think is wrong. Because remember,
your tax dollars are still going to that public school,
even if you're not using it. Here in Texas that's
funded primarily through property tax. You're still paying taxes on
(32:58):
your property, which you already own. A public school that
you're not using, that your kids aren't in, can go
and teach things that you think are morally wrong and abhorrent. Now,
the school choice argument is simply this. You are going
to pay the taxes that are required to educate your child,
and that money is going to go towards whatever school
(33:18):
you want to send it to, right whatever school. If
you want to send your kid to a private school,
the tax dollars that you pay for the education of
your child will go to that public school. They will
follow your child. That does a couple of things. One,
it saves you money because you're not spending money on
a school that you're not in, that your children aren't in.
And two, it incentivizes the schools to one do their
(33:40):
job and do it well, make sure kids are actually learning,
so parents want to continue to send their kids there
so that they can continue to get that money. That
makes perfect sense. What this is basically doing is exposing
schools to the free market. What we know the free
market does is it increases quality and at lowers price.
This has always been the case. Every product that is
(34:01):
exposed to the free market. The quality goes up and
the price goes down because these companies that are selling
things want to offer people the best product at the
lowest price so that more people buy. This is common sense. Now,
here's what the ideal world would look like. You don't
pay property taxes at all. You don't pay any taxes
to the state for the education of your children. In
a perfect world, property taxes would be abolished, and that
(34:22):
money that you save, you would then say, I'm gonna
spend this on the education of my child at whatever
school I see fit, public or private, or if I
want to just take that money and invest it in
some homeschool curriculums and teach my child myself, that's what
I'll do. And that way you don't have to worry
about which schools may or may not be teaching your
child about gay sex. This is common sense. Now, obviously
(34:43):
that's the ideal world. Even if we do get there,
it's gonna take a long time. So school choice is
kind of the best of a couple of bad options.
It's the first step in a long series of steps
towards getting the state out of education and putting education
back in the hands of the parents. So I'm glad
that it's happening here in Texas. I'm glad that Katanji
(35:03):
Brown Jackson agrees. Now, it seems, of course that Donald
Trump also agrees with this. He also wants to kind
of remove government as much as possible from education, and
that's why he's been going out of his way to
dismantle the Department of Education or at least get the
ball rolling on that. And of course, as you can expect,
the left is losing their minds over this. Here's this
(35:23):
video that I found on X of this lady, this
liberal lady, complaining about the fact that Trump is dismantling
the Department of Education. And she thinks that we Trump
voters had the wool pulled over our eyes here. She
thinks we didn't see this coming. She thinks we don't
want this. She's wrong. Take a listen to this lady complaining,
good morning, it's Monday.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I have a question for those that have voted for
this administration.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Did you vote for the.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Department Education being taken out dismantled?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Did you vote for that? I'm just curious.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm I'm sure you wanted them to change the thing,
but dismantling a department that helps your children and helps
a lot of people. Putting it with the states does
not is not the answer, especially if the states don't
have income taxes, and if they're going to start taking
those away too, Like our children will hurt for this.
(36:18):
They want to take away abortion.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
They if you have a baby you got to take
care of.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
They don't help you there, then you take away education support.
I just I'm curious, what's your mastermind thought plan, and
I'm wondering if it's good as his, then you.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Know whatever, have a great day. Yeah, sending education back
downs to the States is never going to work. She's
exactly right. I mean, it's not like every single state
has a state school board or state education board that
kind of manages the state curriculums and puts out resources
to the different school districts to manage. It's not like
that's happening already. Are you stupid? Education is all right,
(37:00):
you run on a state by state basis. All the
Department of Education does is basically hand out grants to
basically try to peer pressure people into doing what the
federal government wants on issues of education. That's all it does,
and it's been incredibly inefficient. It's been a disaster. Since
it was created, education quality in the United States has
cratered because more and more school districts and states are
(37:21):
more concerned with getting that money than actually educating students.
So they take what bureaucrats in DC say we should
be teaching kids, and we teach that to kids so
that bureaucrats in DC will give them money. That is
a terrible, terrible thing, and it needs to be done
away with, absolutely absolutely. I also find it completely ironic
how she talks about how the fact that Donald Trump
(37:42):
wants to ban abortion and then immediately goes on and
on about how we're not taking care of kids. Which
is it. Do you want to take care of the
kids or do you want to kill them in the womb?
You have to pick one. It can't be both. This
really is just kind of the perfect example of leftism
because it's a lady contradicting herself constantly. While she tries
to make an argument that we're dependent on the government
for everything. We aren't dependent on the government for everything,
(38:02):
or at least we shouldn't be. We don't have to be.
We can do things without the government being involved. We
can educate children and educate them well without the government
being involved and taxing you out of house and home
in order to do it. You don't need the Feds
for everything. You don't even need the States for everything.
Take some agency of your own life, of your own
child's education. Build a community that kind of helps each
(38:25):
other through hard times without the fear of the government gun. Right.
We used to have things like this in society. This
used to be kind of that small town mentality, the churches, etc. Hey,
we help take care of each other, we help educate
each other, and we don't need the government to tax
us or put a gun to our heads to do it.
I'm curious about what you think about this. Reach out
to me. Let me know. Use the talkback Mike. I
(38:47):
love to hear from you about this issue. In the meantime,
That's all I've got for us today. Stay tuned Wednesday,
we'll be back on the podcast. Thank you very much
for listening to The Next Gen Report with me Ethan
Buchanan right here on AM nine to fifty kprc M
king In three
Hey, good evening, Houston. How are we I'm doing great.
I hope you are too. This is the Next Gen Report.
I am Ethan Buchanan. It is a pleasure to once
again be with you. Thank you once again to Ted
Cruz for giving me that amazing hour long intro called
The Verdicts with Ted Cruz. Check it out, guys, it's
a good show. If you tuned in for this, thank you.
(00:47):
If you tuned in for that, you missed it. Sorry.
All right, I want to start off today with just
a couple of quick housekeeping things. First of all, I
want to remind you that we do do a bonus
podcast every Wednesday. This show on Sundays at seven here
on AM nine to fifty KPRC. But of course every
Wednesday we have the bonus podcast that is only a podcast.
(01:09):
You cannot find that on the air. You can't tune
and listen. You have to go look for it, all right.
Usually we do that on Wednesday mornings. Last Wednesday, due
to a technical issue, it ended up going out later.
But it's always good fresh stuff. It's stuff that I
think is important and I want you to be aware
of because I think it's going to have a lasting
impact on the culture, the country, anything really. So that's free.
(01:31):
It's on the iHeartRadio app or any other place you
get your podcasts, Spotify, Apple Podcasts wherever. And of course
this show is re uploaded to that podcast as well
on Monday mornings. So if you want to re listen
to anything tonight, if you miss part of the show
and you want to catch up, Hey podcasts and you
can go listen to last week's shows and it's all
right there. It's all available. So I want to encourage
(01:54):
you to go check that out, go listen to it,
stay up to date. That's the next hyphen Gen Report,
Gean Report. It's everywhere you get your podcast to check
it out. Secondly, there's a couple of ways that you
can get in touch with me for really any particular reason.
If you want to talk more about something I've covered,
if you want to talk to me about something else
or something you want me to cover, if you have
(02:14):
random thoughts or quibbles, really anything, I always welcome in.
I love interacting with people. That's why I do this.
I'm a people person. I'm on x Underscore Ethan Buchanan,
I'm on Instagram, the Dot, Ethan Buchanan. And of course,
if you're listening right now on the free iHeartRadio app,
if you look there's a little microphone button in the
corner there. That's the talkback button. You can use that
talkback button. You can record thirty seconds that goes directly
(02:38):
to me. And it can be about anything you want
it to be about. All right, and hey, if it's good,
if it's thoughtful, if it's inside, we might play it
over the air. I'd love to hear from you that
way too, that would be fantastic. All right, Let's start
off today by digging into something that I meant to
talk about on Wednesday, but for a myriad of reasons,
there was just other stuff. I didn't get to it.
But I want to talk about it now because it's
(02:58):
gonna play into something that we're going to talk about
Monday morning on our sister station, KATECRH. That's Houston's Morning News.
So tune in for that because we're going to dig
into this a little bit more. We've been talking a
lot over the last several weeks. Basically at least once
an episode, once a show, I will hit on the
Teriff issue. And here's why it's important. We've been talking
about it primarily in the context of economics, and it
(03:20):
is an economic issue obviously. That is kind of the
biggest kind of facet of this issue is the economic side.
There also is a pretty significant national security issue at
stake here. I don't think we think about this because
we haven't really been in a major war in a
very very very long time. When we went into World
War One and two, where was most of the stuff
(03:40):
that we use for those wars made? It was made
right here in the United States. And not just sort
of the weapons and the vehicles and whatnot, the kind
of practical things, the kit that the soldiers wear, that
was all made in the United States. But of course
all the secondary stuff that an army has to have,
you know, pots and pans to cook for the army.
(04:01):
Armies need those, and usually those are made in the
United States. Are they used to be? Now that's not
really the case anymore. The most important thing to any
army is medicine, medical equipment. Maybe not the most important thing.
The most important thing is probably bullets and weapons, But
the second most important thing is without a doubt, medical
supplies and equipment. Because if a soldier gets hurt you
(04:24):
want to be able to kind of patch that soldier
up and maybe have him keep fighting, or send him
to the to the back for a little bit so
he can recover, and then bring him back up to
the front line so he can keep fighting. Either way,
you're gonna need medical equipment. Right Well, here's the big
problem that we have ninety percent of our medical equipment
right now, ninety percent of our medical industry, so that's
medical equipment, that's the drugs themselves, pharmaceuticals, the ingredients to
(04:45):
the pharmaceuticals. Ninety percent of all of that is made
in China. I don't know how familiar you are with
US China relations, but they aren't too great right now.
We're kind of at odds right now. China is looking
very seriously at Taiwan. We have a vested in in
China not invading Taiwan. If China invades Taiwan, there's a
good chance that we somehow get involved in that. Fingers cross.
(05:08):
It's not boots on the ground, fingers cross, it never happens.
But there is realities not too far off in the
future where we could be at war, in a hot
war with China. If they're making all of our drugs,
all of our medical equipment at a time when we
go to war with China, we're kind of screwed. Imagine
if Nazi Germany was manufacturing all of our bandages and
(05:31):
all of our medication, all of our morphine, when we
went to war with Nazi Germany, we'd be pretty sol right.
I think we can all agree that that's bad. So
how do we get that back to the United States. Well,
one way to do that is tariff's. Obviously, you're going
to need to add extra incentives on top of that.
Tariff is the incentive to get out of China, the
incentive to come into the United States. That's things like
(05:54):
tax credits, tax breaks. You basically have to say to
all these medical companies, Listen, not only are we going
to make it difficult for you to do business like
this in China, We're going to make it easy for
you to do that business here in the United States.
Why because we want you here in the United States.
We want you to be making things using American labor
so that Americans can benefit off of that. And more importantly,
(06:16):
we want it readily available and on hand, so that
in the event God forbid that we end up in
a hot war with somebody, we're ready to fight that war.
We are not ready to fight a war with China
right now. And I don't think we should assume that
a war with China is imminent, but even if there's
a slight possibility, we should be prepared for this. So
why don't I tell you this. I'm not telling you
this to scare you. I'm telling you this to kind
(06:37):
of put what I'm about to tell you in context.
I think Trump recognizes that this is a problem. Anyone
with announce of common sense should be able to recognize
that this is a problem. So this may very well
be a big motivator behind the tariffs, and I think,
frankly it is. So We've got a headline from Breitbart
that I was going to talk about on Wednesday, but
I didn't get a chance to Swiss pharma giant Roche
to invest fifty plus billion in the United States. Swiss
(07:01):
pharmaceutical giant Roach announced Tuesday it will invest upwards of
fifty billion dollars in the United States over the next
five years, a move that follows in the wake of
President Donald Trump's announcement of a proposed tariff on imported drugs. Obviously,
this is a good thing. This will be a long term,
great thing. We want this money in the United States,
but more importantly, we want the manufacturing of this medical
(07:22):
equipment to be happening in the United States so that
if God forbid, there's a war or an emergency where
we need this stuff, we have it readily available and
on hand. Listen, we have got to be thinking long
term about our foreign policy and our economics. Get out
of the short term. Life doesn't happen in the short term.
It happens in the long term. Think long and hard.
China has one hundred year plans. We need to be
(07:43):
on that boat. All right, stay tuned. We've got a
great show coming up for you right here. This is
the Next Gen Report on AM nine to fifty KPRC.
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We have some very tragic but very important news that
we have absolutely got to talk about. We've got to
talk about this. It is getting talked about, Praise God,
thanks to people largely on Twitter that have big platforms
built up there that are willing to discuss this. This
could not be more important. All right, we are all
(08:37):
familiar with Jeffrey Epstein. You know he's the guy that
didn't kill himself. I won't get too into detail about
kind of who he is and what all he's accused
of doing, because one, I think most people already know,
and two, I think it's important for this show to
be available to younger people and maybe even families. And
I frankly don't think that I can discuss in detail
Jeffrey Epstein and his background and what he's doing while
(09:00):
still marketing this show to young people in families, at
least not in good conscience. So I'm not gonna do that.
If you're curious about who Jeffrey Epstein is and you
somehow don't know, give him a quick google. I'll just
tell you this right now. He did not kill himself,
all right. What I will say about kind of his crimes,
and I will say alleged, because I believe he was
found guilty of some of these things. He was involved
(09:20):
in some acts with some people that were too young
for him to be involved in those acts with, and
you can connect the dots there, dig into the context
a little bit. I think we all know what I'm
talking about here. This isn't complicated.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
One of the big allegations here is that he was
assisting other global elites and also participating in some of
those acts with some of those people that again they
should not have been participating in. And so of course
he quote unquote killed himself before he was able to
really testify against everybody. This has been a big topic,
a big issue for Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of
(09:57):
the United States, who made a big deal about releasing
the Epstein files, about releasing the client list of Jeffrey Epstein,
and she still has not done that. She keeps going
on Fox News and talking about how the client list
is sitting on her desk, how she has that information
and any day now it's gonna come out. She just
has to review it. No, you don't release it, all
(10:19):
of it right now, unredacted. Give us all of the information.
Here's why it's important that we have all of the
information around everyone who may or may not have been
involved in this. Jeffrey Epstein, accuser of Virginia Guphrey, has
died of suicide quote unquote allegedly suicide. So Virginia Guffrey,
she was one of these girls who was too young
(10:42):
to be participating in the acts that she was participating
in with Jeffrey Epstein and allegedly other world deletes, And
she has been one of the people that has been
very vocally accusing Jeffrey Epstein and leading the charge against
these people. So it stands to reason that if Jeffrey
Epstein didn't kill himself, she probably either. Right now, again,
I'm trying very hard not to be a conspiracy theorist.
(11:04):
I really don't want to be a conspiracy theorist. I
don't want to be labeled a conspiracy theorist. But in
situations like Jeffrey Epstein, I think most people realize that
somebody somewhere is lying about what happened. He did not
kill himself. He was killed in that New York prison.
He was and it stands to reason that those same
people also have a vested interest in killing one of
(11:25):
his main accusers, Virginia Guffrey. All right, now, I want
us all to be aware of the fact that this
is a young woman who dealt with horrible, horrible things
in her life, and it is very possible that she
did finally just kind of break down and commit suicide.
And if that's the case, that is tragic. Even if
(11:46):
that's not the case, she is dead, and that is
also tragic. Regardless of how she got dead, the fact
that she's dead is a tragedy. All right, let's all
just recognize that be in prayer for anyone she knows,
her family, people that may be impacted by her death,
because this is a tragedy. This is a young woman
who has died. I will say she tweeted out back
in twenty nineteen. I am making it publicly known that
(12:07):
I am in no way, shape or form suicidal. I
have made this known to my therapist and GP if
something happens to me, for the sake of my family,
do not let this go away and help me protect them. Too.
Many evil people want to see me quieted. So I
don't know. Man, that's a little suspicious. That's weird that
she would tweet that and then just a few years
(12:27):
later kill herself allegedly. I mean that it has been
sometime since twenty nineteen. That was almost six years ago,
seven years ago actually, so it is possible that her
mental state, her mental condition changed. I don't know. I'm
not for sure. Regardless, we have got to see these
Epstein files because the window to prosecute the people that
(12:48):
Jeffrey Epstein was providing these young girls too. The window
to prosecute those people is closing very quickly. Remember, the
government has the files. The government has the documents. We
know from Gishline Maxwell trial that there were people that
were being provided young girls to do inappropriate acts with
by Epstein. Who are those people? We know their names,
(13:10):
The government has their names. Why have we not seen prosecution.
Why there is no good reason. I don't care about
the national security implications. That's been the excuse. We have
to make sure that the privacy is protected, the national
security is protected. Bull crap. Tell us who these people
are and bring them to justice because things like this
are gonna keep happening. PAMBONDI quit doing Fox News interviews,
(13:34):
sit down at your desk, and release the freaking Epstein
files right now. Thankfully, there are good people inside the
conservative movement that are locking in on this issue. Tom
Fitten with Judicial Watch I'm sure you've heard of them before.
They're basically like a watchdog for the courts and the government, etc. Etc.
They're now taking the federal government to court over these
Epstein files. Listen, I love Donald Trump as much as
(13:56):
the next guy. We need to be putting immense pressure
on the entire Trump administs to release these Epstein files.
We need to be going to court if that's what
it takes. That's what Tom Fitten and Judicial Watch are doing.
Take a listen to him making that announcement. This was
just yesterday, shortly after the news about Virginia Guffrey's death broke.
He put this video out saying, Hey, we've had enough.
(14:17):
We're going to court. We're suing for these records.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
So Judicial Watch just sued for the Epstein files. We
want the client lists, we want the documents the Justice
Department and the FBI have about this scandal. We've been
getting stonewalling. So despite the release of some records, it
looks like other records haven't been released yet. Indeed, they
haven't responded to our base afia requests for this information.
That's why we're federal court now. The best way to
(14:42):
understand what records are available, wish records are being held secret,
and where did they look for the records is to
be in court. And that's where Judicial Watch is and
that's what we specialize in doing, getting secrets from the
government they don't want you to know about, and people
want to know about the Epstein scandal, and we aim
to get to the again.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I cannot stress enough how important it is that we
get these files. We have got to be demanding these files.
We have got to be going to court for these files.
We cannot be making exceptions. We need these files. The
public needs these files. We do, Thank god, there are
groups out there like Judicial Watch that are working hard
to get them. Okay, let's talk about something else real quick.
In the last few minutes of this segment. We've got
(15:23):
the primaries already going on. The midterms are next year. Basically,
people are already fighting. There's already campaigns on the run.
John Cornyan versus Ken Paxton for a Senate seat in Texas.
That is a big race. It is probably the biggest
of this cycle, at least here in Texas. Now. Cornan
is suffering really bad. People in Texas don't like him.
(15:44):
The GOP base does not like him. He is struggling
really bad. He really wants to hold onto his seat.
Most of Texas really wants him out. The GOP base
really really likes Ken Paxton. So Cornan is in trouble.
So right now, the only thing he has to go
on him is the legal issues that Can Paxton had
a few years ago. He got impeached, he got acquitted obviously,
(16:04):
because those impeachment charges were garbage. It was basically just
a bunch of fake uniparty Republicans inside the Texas House
that worked with the Democrats to impeach him on nothing.
They had no evidence. They never did. They impeached Ken Paxton,
the Senate acquitted him. That should have been the end
of story. But no, John Cornyn is trying to run
on this against Ken Paxton. And not only is he
running on this against Ken Paxton, he's openly lying about it.
(16:28):
So he accused Ken Paxton of during that trial, that
Senate impeachment trial, pleading the Fifth That never happened. At
no point did Ken Paxton plea the Fifth. So, just
to give you some context, playing the Fifth is when say,
for example, you're accused of murder. You're brought onto the
stand to testify, and the prosecuting attorney asks you, hey,
did you kill that guy? You're under oath you have
(16:50):
to answer truthfully, but you also have the Fifth Amendment
right to not say anything that will incriminate yourself, So
you can just say, I plea the Fifth. I'm not
going to answer that question. I plead the Fifth Amendment.
I have the right not to incriminate myself. Now that's
basically an admission of guilt. Technically, legally, no, it's not,
but in the court of public opinion it is. That's
basically saying, yeah, I did it, but I don't want
(17:11):
to tell you. So Ken Paxton never did that. He
never pleaded the Fifth, he was never even testifying. Cornyn
is saying that because Paxton's attorneys made a motion to
exempt him from testifying, that's tantamount to pleading the Fifth.
It's not. People do that all the time in criminal trials.
That is commonplace. Fence attorneys almost always try to keep
(17:32):
their clients off the stand because that's just an extra
hassle that they don't want to have to deal with.
John Cornyn was the attorney general for the state of Texas.
He knows this, and he's blatantly lying. So ask yourself,
is that the kind of person that you want representing
you in the Senate? I would venture to guest no.
For me personally, the answer is no. All right, stand by,
We've got more coming up right after this. I Methin
(17:52):
Bcannon this is the next Generport, all right, let's talk
(18:15):
about it. The evil fascist, dictatorial Trump administration. There are
arresting judges. Now, how terrible, how horrible they're throwing their
political opponents in prison. Weird that the left is all
of a sudden so terribly opposed to this. All right,
So there are a couple of cases of this that
(18:36):
really kind of blew up and made the headlines, one
more so than the other. We're gonna start with the
smaller one first from Breitbart News. Disgraced New Mexico judge
and wife arrested after allegedly harboring Trend Day Aragua gang members.
Out of controlled judges must be held accountable. A disgrace
New Mexico magistrate judge and his wife are under arrest
after they allegedly harbored reported Trend Day Aragua gang members.
(19:00):
The judge resigned from his position last week after immigration
and Customs enforcement officials arrested a Venezuelan man said to
be living on his property. ICE law enforcement officials arrested
recently resigned magistrate judge joel Cano and his wife, Nancy,
at their home in Las Crucus, New Mexico, on Thursday.
Ice officials executed a search warrant and probable cause warrant
(19:22):
and took them into custody. Fox fourteen al Passo reported
joel Cano is currently charged with tampering with evidence and
his wife is charged with conspiracy to tamper. The report states,
all right, now, listen, I know the first reaction from
the right is to blast these people for this, and
that's fair. Obviously, blast these people for this. But at
the same time, you have to give them credit because
(19:45):
for a long time, the argument from the right has
been listen, if you want these illegal immigrants to come
into this country so badly, why don't you house them.
That's a good point. The right has been making a
good point for a very long time. And shout out
to this judge and his wife for putting their money
where their mouth is actually housing this illegal alien. Good job, guys,
(20:07):
good job. I mean, you have to respect that at
the very least, come on, at least they did what
they were trying to get the entire United States to do.
So I have to respect that. Do I think they
should have done it? Know, but I respect the fact
that their actions are consistent with what they're preaching. So
there is that Now, of course, that's just one of two,
(20:30):
and the second one is the one that has been
exploding exploding. Now, if you've just been following the left
wing mainstream news on Twitter or wherever else they may be,
you would think that Donald Trump is actually Adolf Hitler
and is doing Night of the Long Knives, just knocking
out his political opponents. That's not what's happening. That's pretty
clearly not what's happening if you look into the case
(20:53):
even slightly. So let's do that. Let's dig into it here.
This is kind of the quick summary from Charlie Kirk.
He says breaking FBI Director Cash Bettel has announced the
arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan for obstructing ice during
the arrest of an illegal alien. Pattel said, quote, we
believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the
(21:13):
subject to be arrested in her courthouse Eduardo Flores Ruez,
allowing the subject, an illegal alien, to evade arrest. He
went want to say that Dugan has been arrested on
charges of obstruction of justice. He went on to say
that their agents chase down the purp on foot and
he's been in custody ever since. But the judge's obstruction
created and increased danger to the public. So I think
(21:36):
it's worthwhile to take a look at who is this
illegal alien that Judge Dugan was trying to protect. Here.
That's a worthy question, right, I mean, if you're willing
to obstruct justice in your own courtroom as a judge
to protect an illegal alien, there's got to be a
good reason for that, right. This has got to be
some like stand up guy who's being just actively persecuted wrongly.
(21:58):
That would, of course, I think we all agree, necessitate
some obstruction of justice. If this guy is just being
put upon by the system, and this judge stands up
and says, I'm the lesser magistrate here, I'm going to
use my power to protect you from the people above me.
So was that the case? No, this guy's a dirtbag.
Homeland Security DHS dot gov put out on Twitter a
(22:18):
statement about this guy because obviously he's a major player
in the national news now so here he is. Atuardo
Flores Ruez, the illegal alien that the Wisconsin judge was shielding,
has a violent criminal record, with charges including strangulation, suffocation, battery,
domestic abuse. He illegally entered the US twice, two times.
(22:38):
That's a felony. You can't do that. You are not
allowed to do that. That is a felony. Illegally entering
the United States twice, that is against the law. It
is very much a crime, on top of all the
other crimes that he's done, violent abusive crimes that he's committed.
And yet this ridiculous judge thought that this guy was
worthy of her protection illegally in the courtroom. So Pamba,
(23:00):
US Attorney General, she would be better off as a spokesperson.
I'm gonna be honest. She hasn't done anything on the
Epstein file, so like we've talked about in the last segment,
but I will say she's a great spokesperson for the
Department of Justice. So here she is basically giving her
summary of what exactly happened on that day in that
courtroom that led to this judge being arrested. Take a listen,
(23:20):
and to.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Set the stage for you and Sandra, this was truly horrific.
This guy was in court being prosecuted by a state
prosecutor for domestic violence battery. He had beat up two people,
a guy and a girl, beat the guy the hit
guy thirty times, knocked him to the ground, choked him,
beat up a woman so badly they both had to
(23:41):
go to the hospital. And John, you know, it's so
rare for victims to want to cooperate. They wanted to cooperate.
They were sitting in the courtroom with the state prosecutor.
The judge learns that Ice was outside to get the
guy because he had been deported in twenty thirteen, came
back in our country, commits these crimes, charged with committing
these crimes, victims in court.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Judge finds out.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
She goes out in the hallway, screams at the immigration officers.
She's furious, visibly shaken, upset, sends them off to talk
to the chief judge. She comes back in the courtroom.
Here can believe this, takes the defendant and the defense
attorney back in her chambers, takes them out of private
exit and tells them to leave while a state prosecutor
(24:23):
and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Okay, absolutely, anyone in everyone should be outraged by this. Furious.
How in the world does a person like that get
into the position of being a judge. That is insane.
This is an insane woman. The fact that she would
look at this illegal alien, who on top of being
an illegal alien, which is illegal, that's why it's called
an illegal alien, is in the name, all right. He's
(24:49):
also got an incredibly violent history. Makes the case that
this is someone that should be in this country. Make
that case to me, I dare you, I double dare you.
You can't. But this judge thinks, yeah, not only should
he be in the country, I'm gonna break the law
to keep him here. I'm gonna break the law to
keep him here. Thank god that the authorities were able
to one arrest the suspect and to arrest this judge.
(25:11):
Now the left is losing their freaking minds about this.
They have gone absolutely bonkers. Democrat Rep. Ro Kanna said,
the FBI arrested a Wisconsin judge who stood up for
due process for immigrants. This is unprecedented. All of us
need to stand up and speak out against arresting judges
in this country. We are living in dangerous times. That's
not what happened. I just told you what's happened. She
(25:32):
did not get arrested for standing up for due process
of illegal aliens. She got arrested for aiding and abetting
the attempted escape of an illegal alien from just custody.
Democrat Senator from Minnesota Tina Smith, understand what this is.
If Cash Betel and Donald Trump don't like a judge,
they think they can arrest them. This is stunning. We
most stand up to this blatant power grab. Republicans. How
(25:54):
is this not a red line for you? Really, Tina Smith, Really,
that's not what's happening here at all. You darn well
know it. You are such a dirty, dirty liar. Representative
Jamie Raskin echoing those thoughts, This is a drastic escalation
and dangerous new front in Trump's authoritarian campaign of trying
to bully, intimidate, and impeach judges who won't follow his dictates.
(26:15):
He must do whatever we can to defend the independent
judiciary in America. What happened to No one is above law.
What happened to that she pretty clearly is obstructing justice here.
She helped this guy escape from the courtroom. That's what happened.
This is such a great example of the left hypocrisy
because they're losing their minds over this. But this is
the same people who threw Donald Trump in jail over
(26:36):
bs charges. He was the former president of the United States.
A president has never been criminally indicted before. The Democrats
broke that glass ceiling over nothing so that they could
go after Donald Trump because he was their political opponent.
That's what happened. And now these same people, Harry Sisson,
for example, Democrat activists, paid Democrat activists. I should note
(26:56):
Magga is screaming rule of law and nobody is above
it after Trump arrests a judge in Wisconsin. But when
Trump breaks the law, is convicted of thirty four felonies
and has multiple indictments still pending, they vote for him.
They don't actually care about the law. Yet we do
care about the law, which is why we reject your
political attacks. And then when a Wisconsin judge plainly and
clearly breaks the law to aid in a bet and
(27:17):
illegal alien, we say she needs to be in jail.
I mean, this really is such a perfect example of
the double standards of the left. I mean again, I
can't say this enough. This is the party that was
screaming for years as they prosecuted the former president of
the United States that no one is above the law.
But the moment you turn that on them and say, listen,
(27:38):
we have clear examples of your people. Your judge is
openly violating the law all of a sudden and out
of the blue, for no particular reason. Arresting, you know,
people of the opposite political party is suddenly a problem.
Where were you when Trump was being arrested for nonsense,
for stuff you didn't even do? For Leticia James probably
did do. Brian Kressstein and other big left wing account
(28:01):
on Twitter tweeted out, are we going to start arresting
Tyson chicken plant managers and Midwest farmers for helping undocumented
immigrants attain employment and evade arrest? He's not kidding, by
the way, He's being one hundred percent honest. He thinks
doing that would be a bad thing. I'm one hundred
percent there. Yes, anyone who's aiding and abetting an illegal alien,
helping them stay in the United States against the law,
(28:22):
absolutely arrest them up and down the line. A Tyson
Chicken plant manager, or a judge in Wisconsin or a
judge in New Mexico. If you're violating the law to
help an illegal alien stay in the United States, you
should be punished for that. It's good that you're being
punished for that. You guys wanted this. You said no
one's above the law. We're holding you to that. You
made your bed, now you're gonna lie in it. This
(28:43):
is what you wanted. Congratulations, you got it. No one's
above the law anymore. All right, stand by, We've got
another break real quick, and then we'll be right back
with more great stuff. This is the next Gen Report.
(29:21):
All right, some good, big good news here in Texas.
We did finally get school choice passed out of both
the House and the Senate. Now, the school choice bill
that we got has some pretty big holes in it,
things that are gonna need to be worked one over
the next couple of years. That's okay. We can have
a starting point. Having a starting point is good and
(29:41):
it's fine. This was never going to be perfect, especially
with the people running the Texas House that are currently
running the Texas House. We got the best that we
could and we can go from there. I'm willing to
accept that and say we'll take another swing at it,
will strengthen this stuff in the next session. That's fine
with me. Am I completely happy about it. Do I
wish we had a better version of school choice, a
(30:01):
more efficient, more open version of school choice. Yes, absolutely.
But am I willing to look at a small win
as a win? Yes? I am so. Good job everybody.
We got school choice fantastic. Here's why that's important of
all people to make the case that school choice was important.
Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, appointed by Joe Biden, a terrible judge,
(30:25):
very stupid woman, very stupid woman. She was asked by
the Senate do you know what a woman is? And
she said, I'm not a biologist. God in heaven, woman,
how dumb do you have to be? But hey, that's
the radical left for you. If they're not a biologist,
they can't tell you what a woman is, even if
they want to sit on the freaking US Supreme Court.
But hey, what the hell she got onto the Supreme Court.
(30:47):
She's a Supreme Court justice. Now we're stuck with her
until she dies or resigns. I don't like her. I
don't think she's a smart woman, as I've already said,
I think she's very dumb. But even a broken clock
is right at least twice a day. And this is
what we had happen here. With Katanji Brown Jackson. So
there was a case being heard by the Supreme Court
Mahmood versus Taylor, And basically the case is about whether
(31:11):
or not LGBT themed books are appropriate to be in
elementary schools, if elementary school children should have access to
these books. Now, if you're a person with common sense,
you would say, okay, elementary school children do not need
to be learning about gay sex. It's not important. They don't.
They probably don't need to be learning about any sex
at all because they're in freaking elementary school. This shouldn't
(31:32):
be controversial, but somehow it made it to the Supreme Court.
One of the arguments against these books being in elementary
schools is coming from the religious right. They're saying, listen,
we don't think this stuff is appropriate. We think this
stuff is in violation of our religion. We don't want
our elementary school children learning about this. That should be
common sense. Now, Judge Jackson actually goes and she counters
this by giving the school choice argument. If you don't
(31:54):
like what the schools are teaching, send your kid to
a different school.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Take a listen, And I guess I'm struggling to say,
see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise. If the
school teaches something that the parent disagrees with, you have
a choice. You don't have to send your kid to
that school. You can put them in another situation.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
You don't have to send them to that school. You
can put them in another situation. Now, in an ideal world,
she'd be absolutely right. If you don't like what your
school is teaching, just take your kid put it in
another school. Here's the problem with that as it currently
stands right now in most places. Even if you say,
oh my gosh, what this school is teaching is immoral
and wrong and I don't want my child to be
learning it, I'm gonna take my kid and I'm gonna
(32:35):
put them in a private school that doesn't teach that. Well,
guess what, now you have to pay for that private school.
And that's not affordable to everybody. It's not. Here's the
other problem. What you're still doing is paying for that
public school that's teaching what you think is wrong. Because remember,
your tax dollars are still going to that public school,
even if you're not using it. Here in Texas that's
funded primarily through property tax. You're still paying taxes on
(32:58):
your property, which you already own. A public school that
you're not using, that your kids aren't in, can go
and teach things that you think are morally wrong and abhorrent. Now,
the school choice argument is simply this. You are going
to pay the taxes that are required to educate your child,
and that money is going to go towards whatever school
(33:18):
you want to send it to, right whatever school. If
you want to send your kid to a private school,
the tax dollars that you pay for the education of
your child will go to that public school. They will
follow your child. That does a couple of things. One,
it saves you money because you're not spending money on
a school that you're not in, that your children aren't in.
And two, it incentivizes the schools to one do their
(33:40):
job and do it well, make sure kids are actually learning,
so parents want to continue to send their kids there
so that they can continue to get that money. That
makes perfect sense. What this is basically doing is exposing
schools to the free market. What we know the free
market does is it increases quality and at lowers price.
This has always been the case. Every product that is
(34:01):
exposed to the free market. The quality goes up and
the price goes down because these companies that are selling
things want to offer people the best product at the
lowest price so that more people buy. This is common sense. Now,
here's what the ideal world would look like. You don't
pay property taxes at all. You don't pay any taxes
to the state for the education of your children. In
a perfect world, property taxes would be abolished, and that
(34:22):
money that you save, you would then say, I'm gonna
spend this on the education of my child at whatever
school I see fit, public or private, or if I
want to just take that money and invest it in
some homeschool curriculums and teach my child myself, that's what
I'll do. And that way you don't have to worry
about which schools may or may not be teaching your
child about gay sex. This is common sense. Now, obviously
(34:43):
that's the ideal world. Even if we do get there,
it's gonna take a long time. So school choice is
kind of the best of a couple of bad options.
It's the first step in a long series of steps
towards getting the state out of education and putting education
back in the hands of the parents. So I'm glad
that it's happening here in Texas. I'm glad that Katanji
(35:03):
Brown Jackson agrees. Now, it seems, of course that Donald
Trump also agrees with this. He also wants to kind
of remove government as much as possible from education, and
that's why he's been going out of his way to
dismantle the Department of Education or at least get the
ball rolling on that. And of course, as you can expect,
the left is losing their minds over this. Here's this
(35:23):
video that I found on X of this lady, this
liberal lady, complaining about the fact that Trump is dismantling
the Department of Education. And she thinks that we Trump
voters had the wool pulled over our eyes here. She
thinks we didn't see this coming. She thinks we don't
want this. She's wrong. Take a listen to this lady complaining,
good morning, it's Monday.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I have a question for those that have voted for
this administration.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Did you vote for the.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Department Education being taken out dismantled?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Did you vote for that? I'm just curious.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm I'm sure you wanted them to change the thing,
but dismantling a department that helps your children and helps
a lot of people. Putting it with the states does
not is not the answer, especially if the states don't
have income taxes, and if they're going to start taking
those away too, Like our children will hurt for this.
(36:18):
They want to take away abortion.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
They if you have a baby you got to take
care of.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
They don't help you there, then you take away education support.
I just I'm curious, what's your mastermind thought plan, and
I'm wondering if it's good as his, then you.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Know whatever, have a great day. Yeah, sending education back
downs to the States is never going to work. She's
exactly right. I mean, it's not like every single state
has a state school board or state education board that
kind of manages the state curriculums and puts out resources
to the different school districts to manage. It's not like
that's happening already. Are you stupid? Education is all right,
(37:00):
you run on a state by state basis. All the
Department of Education does is basically hand out grants to
basically try to peer pressure people into doing what the
federal government wants on issues of education. That's all it does,
and it's been incredibly inefficient. It's been a disaster. Since
it was created, education quality in the United States has
cratered because more and more school districts and states are
(37:21):
more concerned with getting that money than actually educating students.
So they take what bureaucrats in DC say we should
be teaching kids, and we teach that to kids so
that bureaucrats in DC will give them money. That is
a terrible, terrible thing, and it needs to be done
away with, absolutely absolutely. I also find it completely ironic
how she talks about how the fact that Donald Trump
(37:42):
wants to ban abortion and then immediately goes on and
on about how we're not taking care of kids. Which
is it. Do you want to take care of the
kids or do you want to kill them in the womb?
You have to pick one. It can't be both. This
really is just kind of the perfect example of leftism
because it's a lady contradicting herself constantly. While she tries
to make an argument that we're dependent on the government
for everything. We aren't dependent on the government for everything,
(38:02):
or at least we shouldn't be. We don't have to be.
We can do things without the government being involved. We
can educate children and educate them well without the government
being involved and taxing you out of house and home
in order to do it. You don't need the Feds
for everything. You don't even need the States for everything.
Take some agency of your own life, of your own
child's education. Build a community that kind of helps each
(38:25):
other through hard times without the fear of the government gun. Right.
We used to have things like this in society. This
used to be kind of that small town mentality, the churches, etc. Hey,
we help take care of each other, we help educate
each other, and we don't need the government to tax
us or put a gun to our heads to do it.
I'm curious about what you think about this. Reach out
to me. Let me know. Use the talkback Mike. I
(38:47):
love to hear from you about this issue. In the meantime,
That's all I've got for us today. Stay tuned Wednesday,
we'll be back on the podcast. Thank you very much
