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 matters to our generation. This is the next
Gen Report put Ethan.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You can in Hey, everybody, good evening. How was everybody's
Fourth of July? Mine was pretty good. I had a
good fourth of July. Unfortunately, a lot of people in
Texas had a really, really bad fourth of July. We
had a major travesty here in the Lone Star State
(00:45):
over the Fourth of July, which is really terrible. Words
cannot describe how terrible of a tragedy all of this is.
If you somehow managed to miss it. We had a
big rainstorm. We've been having a bunch of rain here
basically every day in Texas for the last several months.
(01:05):
And of course you know that because you're here listening
to me on the radio. But here in Houston, we're
close to the Gulf, right that rain just runs right
into the ocean, which is great, that's where we want
it to be. In the hill country, that rain runs
right through neighborhoods and summer camps. Unfortunately, this is just
(01:27):
a really really tragic situation. The report that I'm reading
from is from the New York Times, and the death
toll is well over twenty now as many as twenty
five people, probably more are missing, and we have at
(01:49):
least twenty four people dead. A huge number of that
or not a huge number, but a number worth noting is,
you know, like little girls that were at a children's
summer camp, a Christian girl's only summer camp that was
right on the river, the Guadalupe River, so that rain
that came down, they got somewhere along the lines of
ten inches of rain, and that caused the Guadalupe River
(02:12):
to just completely overflow, and that basically swept away this
summer camp. And as of at least yesterday, they were
still looking for the victims. There were still people that
they hadn't found, so obviously be in prayer for everyone
involved in that. Obviously, the little girls, as they should be,
(02:35):
are getting most of the media attention, but there's another
huge amount of people that have lost their lives due
to this storm. And this is just a tragic natural disaster.
That's the world we live in where tragic natural disasters
unfortunately occur. One thing I'm very grateful for is basically
just the all hands on response that we've seen. This
(02:59):
is at the best response that you can hope for
for a tragedy like this. You never want these things
to happen, but when they do, you want leaders on
the state and even federal level to be ready for it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And that's what we've seen.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Obviously, because of the scale of this tragedy, it caught
the attention of the President. He put out on truth
Social The Trump administration is working with state and local
officials on the ground in Texas in response to the
tragic flooding that took place yesterday. Our Secretary of Homeland Security,
Christi Nome, will be there shortly. Milani and I are
praying for all the families impacted by this horrible tragedy.
(03:35):
Our brave first responders are on the site doing what
they do best. God bless the families and God bless Texas.
And there's pictures floating around now of Christy Noome in
the rescue helicopters helping to search for people. Thankfully they
have been able to safely rescue people. There are a
few pictures of some of the girls from that camp
(03:55):
being flown away safe in a rescue helicopter. I believe
that was a Texas National Guard helicopter. So that is
good news, but a bunch of people have lost their lives,
So be in prayer for those people, those families. I'm
just I'm really grateful that we have leaders that respond
seriously to these situations. I mean, as this was unfolding,
(04:19):
Donald Trump was on Air Force one, and you know
he was well aware of the situation and taking action.
Take a listen to this clip of him talking to
reporters about this on I believe this was Friday morning.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
It's terrible in the bud. It's a shocking.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
They don't know the.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Answer yet its to how many people, but it looks
like so, I'm young people have died.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yeah, we'll take care of the work.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
We're working with the governor. We're working with the govern
It's a terrible thing.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now, contrast that with what we saw from Joe Biden
during the flooding that we saw last all across the country.
The response that we got from the Biden administration was
basically nothing. It was almost worse than nothing, because when
American citizens stepped up and said, Okay, the government's not
doing their job here, so we're gonna step up and
(05:14):
we're gonna do it. We're gonna fly our own helicopters,
our own planes in. We're gonna do the aid and
the reconstruction ourselves. The Biden administration went as far as
to shut down the airspace and make it as difficult
as possible for them to do that. And this was
in North Carolina, a little bit in Florida, all over
the country. Basically that kind of southeastern quadrant of the
(05:38):
country had gotten really big flooding from I believe it
was Hurricane Milton, and they got almost nothing back from
the Biden administration.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Trump as a candidate actually.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Ended up going in and doing a lot of that
work himself. He flew in water bottles on his plane,
he brought his staff into to help out. And of
course Elon Musk ended up being a part of that
with starlink and whatnot. But my point here is the
leadership matters. I'm not trying to make a political point.
I want to tell you what you should be looking for,
(06:10):
and not just politicians, but in leaders because you know,
I've been very vocal about we're heading into an election
season again and I want you to be thinking about
things like this, think about how these candidates respond to disasters,
because these aren't just people that make laws. These are
politicians that you know, people all over the country will
look to during times of great disaster for leadership, and
(06:35):
if they don't get it, it makes response a lot
more difficult, and that is important. That does matter. Thankfully,
Donald Trump has been very active. Greg Abbott has been
very vocal about how helpful Trump has been. We do
have an official disaster declaration. I want to give you
real quick some of the updated numbers that we know
(06:56):
for sure. It's over fifty confirmed deaths, coming up on sixty.
I believe eleven of those are children from Camp Mystic.
So be in prayer for those families, for the people
that are still searching for loved ones, Pray for the best,
and pray for those that are you know, mourning the
(07:16):
loss of loved ones this weekend. This is a big
tragedy and we will no doubt be dealing with the
after effects of it for some time. And of course
we're still waiting on information and updates to come out.
I'm sure we'll have more for you on this on
the Wednesday podcast, so be sure to tune.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
In there all right.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
In the next segment, we're gonna be talking about the border.
We're gonna be talking about immigration and how upset the
left is, so stay tuned for that. I'm Ethan Buchanan.
This is the Next Chip Report. We'll be right back
after this break. Hey, everybody, welcome back. This is the
(08:22):
next Gen Report. I am Ethan Buchanan at Underscore Ethan
Buchanan on X. Let's talk a little bit of more
we should say about illegal immigration or lack thereof. I
should say we have got some great immigration data, basically
(08:42):
what we can say for sure right now thanks to
the Trump administration, we now know for sure that despite
all the nonsense that we have gotten from the left,
this was one hundred thousand percent always.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Completely Joe Biden's fault.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The immigration crisis that we had and all the kind
of secondary issues that come as a result of that
root issue, it was all completely Joe Biden's fault.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The left.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
One's try to tell you know, there's root issues in
these countries that cause people to have to flee their
countries and come here, and that's what we need to
address in order to deal with illegal immigration. If we
deal with these root issues in these countries, these poverties
and whatnot in these countries, then the crime will stop
and people will stop fleeing to the United States or
(09:38):
hear me out. Regardless of whatever sob story you happen
to have from Venezuela or whatever country you come from,
we could just not let you win and that not
be our problem. That's been the Trump approach, and it's working.
Tom Homan Trump's borders are tweeted out on the first of.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
The month the Trump Effect.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Total border patrol encounters for the entire month of June
twenty twenty five was six thousand and seven, six thousand
and seventy. I thought that was six seven hundred. First, no,
even less, six thousand and seventy. That's less than a
single day under Joe Biden. So in the entire month
of June, we got less than Biden would get in
(10:19):
a day of just encounters. He went on to say,
as a matter of fact, the total number of encounters
is less than half of a single day under Biden.
Less than half of a single day under Biden is
what we got in a month under Donald Trump. Also,
none of these six thousand and seventy were released to
the US zero. That's a big thing worth noting, because
(10:41):
what Biden would do is he would encounter these illegal aliens,
he would catch them, and then he'd just let them
out back in the United States. So he could say, Oh,
we're apprehending these people at the border. Okay, so are
you turning them back around and keeping them out? No,
we're letting them in. They're walking right through the front door. Well,
that doesn't do anybody any good, does it, does it?
Grandpa Joe, It's clear now that all you have to
(11:05):
do is just enforce the law.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And this was the line from the right for four years.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We kept saying this, if you just enforce the law,
the illegal crossing stop. If you make it clear to
people that you are not going to be allowed to
come into this country without following the rules and the
procedures that we have to do so legally, and if
you do, you will not be allowed to stay here.
If we catch you and you've broken the law to
(11:30):
get here, we're going to make you leave and it's
not going to be a fun process. And if you
do that, you do it consistently, and you make sure
everybody knows that that's going to be the situation, all
of a sudden, people stop coming. If you don't make
it appealing to come here illegally, people won't come here illegally.
(11:51):
It's almost like incentivizing bad behavior creates more of that
bad behavior. We're reaping the benefits of it now. America
is better off for this. Despite that, the Left is
losing their mind over this. I will never understand why
it is the Left loves these legal aliens so much.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
They really do.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
They will go to any links to cover for illegal aliens,
even so far as referring to actual murderous cartel gangs.
It's just clicks. It's just a click, you know. It's
like you got the jocks in high school. The jock click,
the nerd click, the kind of music theater click? This
is just the gang click?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Are you crazy? I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
This actually happened. Blaze Media reported this MS thirteen. Click
was the headline from ABC News. They're now being blasted
for downplaying a violent gang. This is by Courtney Well.
It's over at blazemedia dot com or Theeblaze dot com.
A mainstream media outlet is once again being blasted with
online outrage after reducing a vicious transnational gang to a
(13:00):
mere click, perhaps to distance itself from the tough rhetoric
from President Trump regarding a legal immigration. ABC has now
updated their headline and now says MS thirteen leader to
be sentenced in racketeering case involving eight murders. It now
labels it a gang click in New York City rather
than just a click in New York City. A gang click,
(13:22):
that's what we're doing now. Just call it a gang
That's what it is. I don't understand. I think this
guy that this headline's about, this guy is looking at
probably around forty five to seventy years in prison for
his role in a number of murders across New York City.
And this whole story is a SOB story about how
(13:44):
difficult his life back in Venezuela was and that pushed
him into MS thirteen and then he ended up here
running an MS thirteen offshoot in New York City. And
they call this a click and he was only doing
it because his father beat him.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
This got killed people in the United States of America
for his gang and you're calling it a click.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Joy Reid, who used to be over at MSNBC before
she got canned for being terrible.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
She is going out to bat for these gang members
as well.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And we talked a lot on Wednesday about Alligator Alcatraz.
Go listen to the podcast if you missed it. Joy
Reid is going all out for these illegal aliens, trying
to drum up sympathy for them by once again comparing
Alligator Alcatraz to a concentration camp. Now, we went into
detail about Alligator Alcatraz and what that facility is and
does and how it's laid out in the Wednesday episode
(14:46):
of the podcast, So if you want to catch up
with that, go back and listen to the podcast. It's there.
We did a whole segment on it. It's very obvious
that this is not a concentration camp. I mean, they
went through all the troubles putting an ac which is
something we don't even do for Texas prisons here in
the state of Texas. But this supposed concentration camp has
air conditioning. And here's Droy Reid over at MSNBC or
(15:10):
formerly MSNBC. Now she's got her podcast, The Droy Reid Show,
and she's going on and on and on about how No,
it's definitely a concentration camp.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Take a listen to this.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
I had to forget about him, but Ron DeSantis is
still governor of Florida. He took the Comfy Couch hosts
on a tour of the concentration camp that he's building
in Florida in order to round up people brown people
and throw them in a camp because he doesn't want
them in Florida. Surprise, surprise, the economy of Florida is
(15:42):
going to be severely harmed by rounding up brown people, who,
by the way, all over this country, Latinos are afraid
to go to work. Anybody who is perceived or looks
Latino is afraid to go to work. I know people
who are.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh, how horrible Latino Brown people can't go to work
because they'll all get rounded up and thrown in a
concentration camp. Okay, it's not a concentration camp. It's a
detainment center for illegal aliens. If you're a Latino brown
person and you're in this country legally, or you're a
citizen or what have you, you have every right to
be in the country, at least for now, because you
(16:16):
have citizenship or a green card or what have you,
And you're afraid to go to work because you legitimately
think you'll be rounded up and thrown in a concentration camp.
Guess what you've been lied to? And I would argue
you've allowed yourself to be lied to. And it really
is a sick, twisted lie that these people on the
left have thrown out. They're knowingly pushing a false narrative
(16:39):
that if you just happen to be brown, you will
get thrown in a concentration camp because you're just not
welcome in the country. It's an open and obvious lie,
and joy Reed knows it is, but she's pushing it,
and she's terrifying the crap out of people who don't
know any better than to question her, and they're scared
because she's lying to them, and he's doing it for
(17:00):
political gain. The left is doing it for political gain.
It's sick and it doesn't even pass the sniff test. Again,
go back and listen to the show that we did
about Alligator Alcatraz and we go into great detail about
how nice this place actually is. This would make some
summer camps look kind of bottom of the barrel by comparison.
(17:22):
And yet they're going and pushing the narrative that it
is a freaking concentration camp just to scare people, just
so they'll vote for the Democrats. I hope most Americans
aren't stupid enough to fall for this, but I'm afraid
some of them aren't. And so I advise you go
do your research about what's actually happening here. Don't listen
to these stupid talking heads because they are morals. All right,
(17:43):
stay tuned, we'll be right back after this break. Thank
you very much for listening. I mean th you, Buchanan.
This is the next Gend Report. We will be right back. Alrighty,
(18:15):
Let's talk about the Big Beautiful Bill. I should call
it the Big Beautiful Law. Now, as of Friday, it
has officially been signed. The Big Beautiful Bill is the
law of the land. That is our new budget for
the United States of America. Now, we again talked about
(18:35):
this in detail right after the Senate passed it in
the Wednesday podcast. You can go listen to that again
wherever you get podcasts. I'm on the Arheart Radio app,
IM on Spotify, I'm on Apple podcasts. Go listen to
the next Gen Report every single Wednesday because there's more
great content in there, and I don't like repeating myself.
So if I talk about it in detail on the
Wednesday podcast, I'm probably going to give you an abridged
(18:58):
version here on the radio, and vice versa. If I
talk about in DC on the radio, you getting a
bridge version of expensive. All right, So the big beautifool
bill has passed. That is now the law of the land.
And of course the Democrats are livid, because when are
they not. I'm going to put you another droid read
clip talking about it. I apologize for hitting you with
(19:19):
so much joy read. I know she's probably not your favorite.
She is very stupid, like biblically stupid. They can write
books about how stupid this woman is, but she keeps
getting attention for whatever reason. And so now I'm going
to give her some of my attention. Here she is
with a Democrat Congresswoman, Primila Jaya Paul, and they're going
(19:41):
on and on and on and on and on about
how terrible it is because it funds ice more. This
kind of goes back to what we were talking about
in the last segment. The Democrats will do anything to
cover for illegal aliens and to them a budget bill
that funds ICE, which does keep all of Americans safer,
including these idiot leftists. That's just terrible because it means
(20:02):
more deportations. Take a listen to these two dinguses.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
On the DHS part. This is really important because this
Big Bad Betrayal Bill is not disconnected from what we're
seeing with immigration on the streets. It actually supercharges ICE's
activities in terrorizing local communities, in kidnapping and disappearing and
deporting immigrants across this country. Right now for detention for
(20:30):
ICE attention, we spend about three and a half billion dollars.
The Big Bad Betrayal Bill increases that number to forty
five billion.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Okay, real quick, I want to point something out and
then we'll get back to her making a full of herself.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
What is the argument here from the left? We shouldn't
be funding detention centers.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I've mentioned on a number of occasions now, the fact
that you know a lot of these detention centers that
Trump has built are decent facilities. They have things like
air conditioning, they have things like proper beds. Where do
you think those come from? They don't just fall out
of the sky. It's because we funded these facilities. Guess what,
Deportions aren't gonna start. Deportations are gonna stop, detentions are
(21:14):
gonna stop. We're still gonna be arresting illegal aliens. The
less funding you give to those operations, the poorer the
conditions that these people are being kept in are. So
what is your argument here we should cut the budget
so that we have to basically pile these people on
top of each other in sheds, which is what they
claim is happening already. We're building nice facilities to hold
(21:38):
these people, and you want what less funding so we
can make the facilities worse, And yet you claim you're
the humanitarians looking out for these illegal aliens. It doesn't
make any sense, but nobody ever calls them on that.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Forty five billion from three and a half billions so
across the board. And then there's separate money for ice
agents for you know, any number of pieces of the transportation,
the deportation, all of that. So it is really essentially
saying we if whatever you see right now, joy multiply
(22:12):
that by ten to twelve times. That's what we're going
to start seeing in terms of ice agents, terrorizing, disappearing,
kidnapping immigrants, deporting them to third countries, holding them incarceration facilities.
These are jails now, these are not really civil detention centers,
which is what they're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
So my advice to you, if you're an illegal alien,
get out, because she's describing this horror story, which frankly,
it's not half as bad as she's trying to make
it out to be. But even if it was, this
would be a really good reason to get the hell
out of my country if you're not supposed to be here,
(22:53):
and if you're thinking about becoming an illegal alien, if
you're hanging out and just on the other side of
the Rio Grant and you think maybe.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I'll jump it and see what happens. Don't that's what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I wish it's actually it's really not that bad, But nevertheless,
stay out.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
This is a great deterrent good I don't want.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Illegal aliens in this country, and if they are convinced
that it's gonna be a horror story if they come here,
they won't. I have no problem with this, I really don't.
I have no sympathy for illegal aliens. I don't care
what your sub story is. We have a process, follow
the law, or face the consequences. If you can't do
the time, don't do the crime. So they're very upset
(23:36):
because our big beautiful bill funds border security whatever. Here's
all of the other things that the big beautiful bill does.
And here's President Trump right after signing it on July fourth,
giving a speech about the big beautiful bill, talking about
how great it's going to be, and we'll dig into
this in a minute, and all the good things about it.
Because there's the left's reaction. Here's President Trump right after
(23:58):
he signed it, speaking to a crowd at the White
House about how great it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
And we've delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
And that's why when you.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Hear things like that, this is the most pop it's
the biggest bill of its kind ever done by far.
But we are going to have a situation. We are
going to have something where people are going to realize
the level of success and popularity of this bill. And
sort of to close it out, it makes the child
tax credit permanent for forty million American families and to
(24:37):
increase the car affordability it makes interest on a new
car payment. So this had never happened before. You buy
a car, you borrow money, you're allowed to deduct for
income tax purposes. Your payment of interest, you're allowed to
deduct it. It's never happened before. So run out and
buy a car. But I have to tell you, it's
only good, Mike, if it's made in America. If it's
(25:00):
made in another country, you don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Okay, that's great. Frankly, it is great. There is a
lot of really good stuff in this bill. We talked
again on Wednesday. It's way bigger than it should be.
It's a huge budget that may or may not end
up leveling out over time. We don't know for sure.
It is bigger than it probably should have been. But
let's not get it into our heads that this bill
(25:25):
is completely terrible. There are upsides to this bill.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Everything Trump said to a certain degree is true, and
it's all great for the United States.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Of America, for our economy, for our paychecks. You will
be paying less taxes because.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Of this bill.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
There is a community note on this post right now
that says the One Big, Beautiful Bill doesn't fully eliminate
taxes on tips, or overtime.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
And that note is correct.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
There are caps on all of these things, but it
gives us a baseline to star.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
We got our foot in the door.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Now we can start saying, hey, let's increase, do less
tax on social Security and tips.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Let's keep going, let's push this ball. We got it rolling,
Let's keep going.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The idea that we were going to get everything we
want all at once was ridiculous, not with the majority
we have in Congress. But now we have something to say, Look,
we can't make some progress on this if you give
us your vote. So go out in you know, next
spring during the primaries and vote for Republicans that will
expand these things. And then when November rolls around, vote
(26:30):
for them again. And then when it comes time to
make the next budget, we can get an even better
budget bill with even more tax relief.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Do we have, you know, ground to make up? Further
to go?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Absolutely, but we've gotten the ball rolling, which is great.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
It is. Here's jd.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Vance also celebrating the big, beautiful bill, talking about what
a great win it is. How much progress we're going
to see just on the economy because of this bill.
And hey, you are are going to see progress on
the economy. Because of this bill, you are going to
see people paying less in tax, which means they will
have more money in their pocket, which means they can
spend more.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Our GDP can grow. And we don't have to do
that by shoveling more money that the government prints out
of nowhere into the economy. We can just let people
keep their money and spend it. That's great. Here's jd.
Vas talking about that.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
I think when people realize how much this benefits the
people in North Dakota, the people of the United States,
this bill is going to be very popular.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
We're going to look back on this.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
I really do think as the beginning of the Gold
Age of the United States of America. And remember it's
not just the bill, it's all of the Trump administration
policies that form a coherent whole where we're trying to
make it easier to invest and build in the United
States of America. We're trying to make it harder to
invest outside of the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
We would have build a.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
Future for our own people. So I think we need
to take the one big beautiful bill, the president's tariff policies,
our energy policies, What it means is that for the
first time in a very long time, we're going to
the right direction, producing more energy, building a future for
our people, make it easier to save and invest in
the United States of America. We're going to look back
on this, I think is an inflection point where for
(28:12):
too long America's been going to the wrong direction. Now
we're going to the right direction. Rome wasn't built in
a day. But I think you're gonna see a lot
of great progress very quickly now that this bill, well
in a few hours, is going to get signed in
along time.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
He's right, Rome was not built in a day, and
that's an important point to remember. I do think we
are going to end up seeing a lot of really
good benefits from this bill. Again, like he pointed out,
America is basically like a big cruise ship that's been
traveling in the wrong direction for a long time. You
can't just turn that around on a dot. You have
to slow the ship. You have to slowly turn it around,
(28:47):
and then you have to kick the engines back up
and get us pushing in the right direction. This is
a start. We have progress to make, but this is
a good start, all right. We've got one more segment
coming up. We will be right back.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
All right, This is gonna be.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
An action packed fourth segment of the show, so we're
gonna hit a lot of points really fast. First of all,
the Big Beautiful Bill, like we talked about in the
last segment, is now law. I played you a bunch
of clips of different people in the Trump administration, namely
Trump and Jady Vance talking about how great they think
the Big Beautiful Bill is. But it's worth noting this
(29:34):
is not just Trump and jd Vance saying this. There's
actually people on the ground, citizens of the United States
of America that are also saying, Hey, we think this
is really gonna benefit us. We think this no taxes
on tip thing is really gonna work out. Here is
a store owner speaking with I believe this is CBS
Morning News or CBS Evening News, one of the two.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It's CBS.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
He's speaking with CBS talking about, Hey, I run this
small town store. I have a lot of employees, A
lot of them kind of make a lot of money
and tips or rely on tips or just get tips
because it's nice and a little something extra, and I
think this is really going to help them.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Here he is saying that to CBS of all people.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Ben Smith in Iowa, owner of Smitty's Tenderloin breathe desigh
of relief. The restaurant has been in Smith's family for generations.
He says the bill's provision eliminating federal taxes on tips
could help his industry. What does that.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Mean for you as a restaurant owner?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
No tax on tips for your employees.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Why I look at it is a good opportunity to
just to see our employees, see each other, labor and
hard work.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Deanna Musler has been working at Smitty's for nearly four decades.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
We don't expect a tip, Well I don't you know,
but it is it will benefit.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It will benefit.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
That seems to be the consistent message people are saying, Hey,
I'm actually kind of excited about this, except that there
are a handful of people that are upset about the big,
beautiful bill. Most of them happen to be radical, crazy leftists.
We keep hearing about, oh, so many people are gonna
lose their health care coverage because of this bill.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
That's the line from the left.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
And I always look at this and say, okay, if
that's the case, point out to me who are the
people that are not getting coverage that they need.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Who are the folks that legitimately should be.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
On these programs and need this coverage, actually need it
and are not going to get it because of Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
And for every person you showed me, I will show you,
first of.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
All, a private charity that will help them, because that's
really what should be happening here. Private charities should be
stepping up to do this, not the government. This is
not the job of the government. But the only people
that I've actually seen complaining, hey here i am I'm
actually going to lose my health care health care in quotes,
and it's always it's just trans people or non binary people.
(32:02):
That's the only people I've seen. I've seen dozens of
these videos. If somebody saying, hey, look it's me. I'm
not gonna be getting my healthcare that I need. Okay, well,
what's the healthcare that you need? My hormone treatments, because
I think I'm.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
A man and I'm a woman.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
All Right, you don't need that, and my tax dollars
shouldn't be paying for it. You're crazy. Seek mental help.
That's the reality of the situation. I'm sorry if you
hate me for saying this. You are not transgender, you
are not the opposite sex. You do not need me
to fund your homeone treatments with my tax dollars. You
need to get mental help because you think you are
(32:35):
something you are not. Here is this leftist sitting in
Dy Theam's car making this video complaining about the fact
that she because it's a woman who wants testosterone to
become a man, or at least become more like a man,
you can't become a man.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
That's the dirty little secret here.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
She's complaining that she's not gonna get her taxpayer funded
testosterone treatments anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I'm Cayman and I'm on E and that upsets a
lot of people. But guess what to the people that
are upset, you got you wish.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
They're cutting EBT.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Just to clarify a few things real quick, I work
fifty plus hour weeks, I am disabled, I've lost my
family and my home at age nineteen, and I get
like one hundred and seventy eight dollars a month to
use on groceries and that's being cut entirely. You know
what else hasn't been covered for a while. My testosterone.
It's been sixty two dollars per week out of pocket,
(33:30):
which is why I haven't been on it for months.
It's causing health issues, it's causing hormonal problems. It's really
not a good thing all around. I'm also on Medicaid.
Medicaid is on the line to be cut. If I
don't have health insurance, that's even more money out of pocket.
So you know what I'm not doing this year. I'm
not paying taxes because this government does not represent me.
No taxation without representation. If you guys aren't willing to
(33:53):
pay as a community to help people like me and
people who are different from you, then people like us
aren't going to be willing to help you either. I'm
already doing all I can to take care of myself,
and it's incredibly difficult. I can't try much harder because
I'm expending all of my energy doing this. So that's
part of why I make extra money here on TikTok.
By the way, if you're still here, thank you for
all the interaction you can give, because I'm trying to
(34:14):
leave this country and making money on here could really
help with that.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
So bye bye, Please get out of the country. Please,
I'm begging you. I'll buy you the plane ticket myself.
I'll go into my own pocket to get you the
hell out of here. God lease, people are so freaking annoying.
There's just so much to dig into in this video.
First of all, I would bet you at least fifty
dollars right now that the person in this video works
(34:39):
as a barista or some ridiculous job like that. That's
almost definitely the career path right here. So my advice
to you, first of all would be go get a
better job. It can be done. It's not that hard,
all right. I went from working in fast food to
doing this. It can be done, all right. I don't
care about your sob stories, don't. You are not my responsibility.
(35:02):
You're not You're not anyone else's responsibility. Your life is
your own responsibility. This is an adult. If you're not
comfortable with the amount of money you're making or the
benefits you get at your job, go get a different one.
Stop demanding that I, who did go out and get
a better job that I wanted, subsidize your poor life choices.
(35:24):
It's not my job as a taxpayer to pay for
the life you want to live. Take some responsibility for yourself.
Get off of TikTok, stop complaining, go get a better job,
or keep complaining on TikTok and make money and get
the hell out. Since that's clearly what you do want
to do it, and you know what, I support it
because you are a leech on my country and I
(35:45):
don't want you here.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
You are an inconvenience.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
One thing I do want to address is the fact
she's like, I'm just not gonna pay taxes anymore. Hey, listen,
I'm not gonna fight you on that. I'm as libertarian
as you could possibly get. I wish nobody ever had
to pay any taxes. However, I'm not stupid enough to
trifle with the irs. If they can take down al Capone,
they can take down you. You goofy barista. And what's
(36:13):
really funny is she thinks she has a choice.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
She doesn't.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Your taxes are coming out of your paycheck, and that
paycheck you're getting from TikTok, if it's not taxed, guess what,
you still owe that money in taxes and they will
come get it from you, or they will throw you
in jail. If you want to try to fight the irs,
be my guest. But if you can't afford to pay
sixty dollars a month for testosterone treatments, you definitely cannot
(36:39):
afford a good tax attorney.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
For sure. These people are ridiculous. They don't think even slightly.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Another thing that I really love is she talks about
how I've been off my testosterone treatments and now I'm
having all these medical problems. So what you mean to
tell me that it's not a good idea to try
to permanently alter your body chemistry with things that are
not natural to you. You mean to tell me that
when you start pumping hormones into your body that you're
(37:08):
not supposed to have in your body because you're a woman,
not a man that has side effects.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
What a shock. I love these videos like this because
they always.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
End up perfectly making the case that they're trying to
make the opposite case of Like this lady wants us
to feel bad because the big beautiful bill is going
to ruin her life, But she's making the perfect example
of Hey, this is why we need to scale back
how much money we're spending all that on all these programs.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
This is the reason.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Look at this crazy person who you're funding her testosterone treatments.
This is why we need to cut the money going
into programs like Medicaid, because we shouldn't be paying for this. Also,
her utter misunderstanding of no taxation without representation is kind
of funny to me, just because I'm a big believer
in history and I try to study it as much
(38:00):
as I can, especially important periods like the American Revolution.
No tax without representation does not mean if the government
isn't doing exactly what you want, you don't have to
pay taxes anymore. That was not the idea that the
Founding Fathers were trying to put forward. They were saying, Hey,
we have a monarch who couldn't care less about us,
who is governing us tyrannically without giving us a second thought,
(38:22):
and we're going to do something about that. And then
we have an elected representatives that will then try to
hopefully work in your best interests, not Oh I didn't
get my way, so I'm not paying my taxes. These
people are stupid, they really are. Anyway, That's all I've
got for you this Sunday evening. Remember the podcast next Wednesday,
tune in, give it a listen. And of course I'm
on Instagram. I'm on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan on
(38:45):
x on Instagram. It's the dot Ethan Buchanan. Check me
out there. Thank you very much for listening. I'm Ethan Buchanan.
This is the next Generalport. We'll be back next Sunday.
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 matters to our generation. This is the next
Gen Report put Ethan.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You can in Hey, everybody, good evening. How was everybody's
Fourth of July? Mine was pretty good. I had a
good fourth of July. Unfortunately, a lot of people in
Texas had a really, really bad fourth of July. We
had a major travesty here in the Lone Star State
(00:45):
over the Fourth of July, which is really terrible. Words
cannot describe how terrible of a tragedy all of this is.
If you somehow managed to miss it. We had a
big rainstorm. We've been having a bunch of rain here
basically every day in Texas for the last several months.
(01:05):
And of course you know that because you're here listening
to me on the radio. But here in Houston, we're
close to the Gulf, right that rain just runs right
into the ocean, which is great, that's where we want
it to be. In the hill country, that rain runs
right through neighborhoods and summer camps. Unfortunately, this is just
(01:27):
a really really tragic situation. The report that I'm reading
from is from the New York Times, and the death
toll is well over twenty now as many as twenty
five people, probably more are missing, and we have at
(01:49):
least twenty four people dead. A huge number of that
or not a huge number, but a number worth noting is,
you know, like little girls that were at a children's
summer camp, a Christian girl's only summer camp that was
right on the river, the Guadalupe River, so that rain
that came down, they got somewhere along the lines of
ten inches of rain, and that caused the Guadalupe River
(02:12):
to just completely overflow, and that basically swept away this
summer camp. And as of at least yesterday, they were
still looking for the victims. There were still people that
they hadn't found, so obviously be in prayer for everyone
involved in that. Obviously, the little girls, as they should be,
(02:35):
are getting most of the media attention, but there's another
huge amount of people that have lost their lives due
to this storm. And this is just a tragic natural disaster.
That's the world we live in where tragic natural disasters
unfortunately occur. One thing I'm very grateful for is basically
just the all hands on response that we've seen. This
(02:59):
is at the best response that you can hope for
for a tragedy like this. You never want these things
to happen, but when they do, you want leaders on
the state and even federal level to be ready for it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And that's what we've seen.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Obviously, because of the scale of this tragedy, it caught
the attention of the President. He put out on truth
Social The Trump administration is working with state and local
officials on the ground in Texas in response to the
tragic flooding that took place yesterday. Our Secretary of Homeland Security,
Christi Nome, will be there shortly. Milani and I are
praying for all the families impacted by this horrible tragedy.
(03:35):
Our brave first responders are on the site doing what
they do best. God bless the families and God bless Texas.
And there's pictures floating around now of Christy Noome in
the rescue helicopters helping to search for people. Thankfully they
have been able to safely rescue people. There are a
few pictures of some of the girls from that camp
(03:55):
being flown away safe in a rescue helicopter. I believe
that was a Texas National Guard helicopter. So that is
good news, but a bunch of people have lost their lives,
So be in prayer for those people, those families. I'm
just I'm really grateful that we have leaders that respond
seriously to these situations. I mean, as this was unfolding,
(04:19):
Donald Trump was on Air Force one, and you know
he was well aware of the situation and taking action.
Take a listen to this clip of him talking to
reporters about this on I believe this was Friday morning.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
It's terrible in the bud. It's a shocking.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
They don't know the.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Answer yet its to how many people, but it looks
like so, I'm young people have died.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yeah, we'll take care of the work.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
We're working with the governor. We're working with the govern
It's a terrible thing.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now, contrast that with what we saw from Joe Biden
during the flooding that we saw last all across the country.
The response that we got from the Biden administration was
basically nothing. It was almost worse than nothing, because when
American citizens stepped up and said, Okay, the government's not
doing their job here, so we're gonna step up and
(05:14):
we're gonna do it. We're gonna fly our own helicopters,
our own planes in. We're gonna do the aid and
the reconstruction ourselves. The Biden administration went as far as
to shut down the airspace and make it as difficult
as possible for them to do that. And this was
in North Carolina, a little bit in Florida, all over
the country. Basically that kind of southeastern quadrant of the
(05:38):
country had gotten really big flooding from I believe it
was Hurricane Milton, and they got almost nothing back from
the Biden administration.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Trump as a candidate actually.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Ended up going in and doing a lot of that
work himself. He flew in water bottles on his plane,
he brought his staff into to help out. And of
course Elon Musk ended up being a part of that
with starlink and whatnot. But my point here is the
leadership matters. I'm not trying to make a political point.
I want to tell you what you should be looking for,
(06:10):
and not just politicians, but in leaders because you know,
I've been very vocal about we're heading into an election
season again and I want you to be thinking about
things like this, think about how these candidates respond to disasters,
because these aren't just people that make laws. These are
politicians that you know, people all over the country will
look to during times of great disaster for leadership, and
(06:35):
if they don't get it, it makes response a lot
more difficult, and that is important. That does matter. Thankfully,
Donald Trump has been very active. Greg Abbott has been
very vocal about how helpful Trump has been. We do
have an official disaster declaration. I want to give you
real quick some of the updated numbers that we know
(06:56):
for sure. It's over fifty confirmed deaths, coming up on sixty.
I believe eleven of those are children from Camp Mystic.
So be in prayer for those families, for the people
that are still searching for loved ones, Pray for the best,
and pray for those that are you know, mourning the
(07:16):
loss of loved ones this weekend. This is a big
tragedy and we will no doubt be dealing with the
after effects of it for some time. And of course
we're still waiting on information and updates to come out.
I'm sure we'll have more for you on this on
the Wednesday podcast, so be sure to tune.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
In there all right.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
In the next segment, we're gonna be talking about the border.
We're gonna be talking about immigration and how upset the
left is, so stay tuned for that. I'm Ethan Buchanan.
This is the Next Chip Report. We'll be right back
after this break. Hey, everybody, welcome back. This is the
(08:22):
next Gen Report. I am Ethan Buchanan at Underscore Ethan
Buchanan on X. Let's talk a little bit of more
we should say about illegal immigration or lack thereof. I
should say we have got some great immigration data, basically
(08:42):
what we can say for sure right now thanks to
the Trump administration, we now know for sure that despite
all the nonsense that we have gotten from the left,
this was one hundred thousand percent always.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Completely Joe Biden's fault.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The immigration crisis that we had and all the kind
of secondary issues that come as a result of that
root issue, it was all completely Joe Biden's fault.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The left.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
One's try to tell you know, there's root issues in
these countries that cause people to have to flee their
countries and come here, and that's what we need to
address in order to deal with illegal immigration. If we
deal with these root issues in these countries, these poverties
and whatnot in these countries, then the crime will stop
and people will stop fleeing to the United States or
(09:38):
hear me out. Regardless of whatever sob story you happen
to have from Venezuela or whatever country you come from,
we could just not let you win and that not
be our problem. That's been the Trump approach, and it's working.
Tom Homan Trump's borders are tweeted out on the first of.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
The month the Trump Effect.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Total border patrol encounters for the entire month of June
twenty twenty five was six thousand and seven, six thousand
and seventy. I thought that was six seven hundred. First, no,
even less, six thousand and seventy. That's less than a
single day under Joe Biden. So in the entire month
of June, we got less than Biden would get in
(10:19):
a day of just encounters. He went on to say,
as a matter of fact, the total number of encounters
is less than half of a single day under Biden.
Less than half of a single day under Biden is
what we got in a month under Donald Trump. Also,
none of these six thousand and seventy were released to
the US zero. That's a big thing worth noting, because
(10:41):
what Biden would do is he would encounter these illegal aliens,
he would catch them, and then he'd just let them
out back in the United States. So he could say, Oh,
we're apprehending these people at the border. Okay, so are
you turning them back around and keeping them out? No,
we're letting them in. They're walking right through the front door. Well,
that doesn't do anybody any good, does it, does it?
Grandpa Joe, It's clear now that all you have to
(11:05):
do is just enforce the law.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And this was the line from the right for four years.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We kept saying this, if you just enforce the law,
the illegal crossing stop. If you make it clear to
people that you are not going to be allowed to
come into this country without following the rules and the
procedures that we have to do so legally, and if
you do, you will not be allowed to stay here.
If we catch you and you've broken the law to
(11:30):
get here, we're going to make you leave and it's
not going to be a fun process. And if you
do that, you do it consistently, and you make sure
everybody knows that that's going to be the situation, all
of a sudden, people stop coming. If you don't make
it appealing to come here illegally, people won't come here illegally.
(11:51):
It's almost like incentivizing bad behavior creates more of that
bad behavior. We're reaping the benefits of it now. America
is better off for this. Despite that, the Left is
losing their mind over this. I will never understand why
it is the Left loves these legal aliens so much.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
They really do.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
They will go to any links to cover for illegal aliens,
even so far as referring to actual murderous cartel gangs.
It's just clicks. It's just a click, you know. It's
like you got the jocks in high school. The jock click,
the nerd click, the kind of music theater click? This
is just the gang click?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Are you crazy? I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
This actually happened. Blaze Media reported this MS thirteen. Click
was the headline from ABC News. They're now being blasted
for downplaying a violent gang. This is by Courtney Well.
It's over at blazemedia dot com or Theeblaze dot com.
A mainstream media outlet is once again being blasted with
online outrage after reducing a vicious transnational gang to a
(13:00):
mere click, perhaps to distance itself from the tough rhetoric
from President Trump regarding a legal immigration. ABC has now
updated their headline and now says MS thirteen leader to
be sentenced in racketeering case involving eight murders. It now
labels it a gang click in New York City rather
than just a click in New York City. A gang click,
(13:22):
that's what we're doing now. Just call it a gang
That's what it is. I don't understand. I think this
guy that this headline's about, this guy is looking at
probably around forty five to seventy years in prison for
his role in a number of murders across New York City.
And this whole story is a SOB story about how
(13:44):
difficult his life back in Venezuela was and that pushed
him into MS thirteen and then he ended up here
running an MS thirteen offshoot in New York City. And
they call this a click and he was only doing
it because his father beat him.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
This got killed people in the United States of America
for his gang and you're calling it a click.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Joy Reid, who used to be over at MSNBC before
she got canned for being terrible.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
She is going out to bat for these gang members
as well.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And we talked a lot on Wednesday about Alligator Alcatraz.
Go listen to the podcast if you missed it. Joy
Reid is going all out for these illegal aliens, trying
to drum up sympathy for them by once again comparing
Alligator Alcatraz to a concentration camp. Now, we went into
detail about Alligator Alcatraz and what that facility is and
does and how it's laid out in the Wednesday episode
(14:46):
of the podcast, So if you want to catch up
with that, go back and listen to the podcast. It's there.
We did a whole segment on it. It's very obvious
that this is not a concentration camp. I mean, they
went through all the troubles putting an ac which is
something we don't even do for Texas prisons here in
the state of Texas. But this supposed concentration camp has
air conditioning. And here's Droy Reid over at MSNBC or
(15:10):
formerly MSNBC. Now she's got her podcast, The Droy Reid Show,
and she's going on and on and on about how No,
it's definitely a concentration camp.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Take a listen to this.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
I had to forget about him, but Ron DeSantis is
still governor of Florida. He took the Comfy Couch hosts
on a tour of the concentration camp that he's building
in Florida in order to round up people brown people
and throw them in a camp because he doesn't want
them in Florida. Surprise, surprise, the economy of Florida is
(15:42):
going to be severely harmed by rounding up brown people, who,
by the way, all over this country, Latinos are afraid
to go to work. Anybody who is perceived or looks
Latino is afraid to go to work. I know people
who are.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh, how horrible Latino Brown people can't go to work
because they'll all get rounded up and thrown in a
concentration camp. Okay, it's not a concentration camp. It's a
detainment center for illegal aliens. If you're a Latino brown
person and you're in this country legally, or you're a
citizen or what have you, you have every right to
be in the country, at least for now, because you
(16:16):
have citizenship or a green card or what have you,
And you're afraid to go to work because you legitimately
think you'll be rounded up and thrown in a concentration camp.
Guess what you've been lied to? And I would argue
you've allowed yourself to be lied to. And it really
is a sick, twisted lie that these people on the
left have thrown out. They're knowingly pushing a false narrative
(16:39):
that if you just happen to be brown, you will
get thrown in a concentration camp because you're just not
welcome in the country. It's an open and obvious lie,
and joy Reed knows it is, but she's pushing it,
and she's terrifying the crap out of people who don't
know any better than to question her, and they're scared
because she's lying to them, and he's doing it for
(17:00):
political gain. The left is doing it for political gain.
It's sick and it doesn't even pass the sniff test. Again,
go back and listen to the show that we did
about Alligator Alcatraz and we go into great detail about
how nice this place actually is. This would make some
summer camps look kind of bottom of the barrel by comparison.
(17:22):
And yet they're going and pushing the narrative that it
is a freaking concentration camp just to scare people, just
so they'll vote for the Democrats. I hope most Americans
aren't stupid enough to fall for this, but I'm afraid
some of them aren't. And so I advise you go
do your research about what's actually happening here. Don't listen
to these stupid talking heads because they are morals. All right,
(17:43):
stay tuned, we'll be right back after this break. Thank
you very much for listening. I mean th you, Buchanan.
This is the next Gend Report. We will be right back. Alrighty,
(18:15):
Let's talk about the Big Beautiful Bill. I should call
it the Big Beautiful Law. Now, as of Friday, it
has officially been signed. The Big Beautiful Bill is the
law of the land. That is our new budget for
the United States of America. Now, we again talked about
(18:35):
this in detail right after the Senate passed it in
the Wednesday podcast. You can go listen to that again
wherever you get podcasts. I'm on the Arheart Radio app,
IM on Spotify, I'm on Apple podcasts. Go listen to
the next Gen Report every single Wednesday because there's more
great content in there, and I don't like repeating myself.
So if I talk about it in detail on the
Wednesday podcast, I'm probably going to give you an abridged
(18:58):
version here on the radio, and vice versa. If I
talk about in DC on the radio, you getting a
bridge version of expensive. All right, So the big beautifool
bill has passed. That is now the law of the land.
And of course the Democrats are livid, because when are
they not. I'm going to put you another droid read
clip talking about it. I apologize for hitting you with
(19:19):
so much joy read. I know she's probably not your favorite.
She is very stupid, like biblically stupid. They can write
books about how stupid this woman is, but she keeps
getting attention for whatever reason. And so now I'm going
to give her some of my attention. Here she is
with a Democrat Congresswoman, Primila Jaya Paul, and they're going
(19:41):
on and on and on and on and on about
how terrible it is because it funds ice more. This
kind of goes back to what we were talking about
in the last segment. The Democrats will do anything to
cover for illegal aliens and to them a budget bill
that funds ICE, which does keep all of Americans safer,
including these idiot leftists. That's just terrible because it means
(20:02):
more deportations. Take a listen to these two dinguses.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
On the DHS part. This is really important because this
Big Bad Betrayal Bill is not disconnected from what we're
seeing with immigration on the streets. It actually supercharges ICE's
activities in terrorizing local communities, in kidnapping and disappearing and
deporting immigrants across this country. Right now for detention for
(20:30):
ICE attention, we spend about three and a half billion dollars.
The Big Bad Betrayal Bill increases that number to forty
five billion.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Okay, real quick, I want to point something out and
then we'll get back to her making a full of herself.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
What is the argument here from the left? We shouldn't
be funding detention centers.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I've mentioned on a number of occasions now, the fact
that you know a lot of these detention centers that
Trump has built are decent facilities. They have things like
air conditioning, they have things like proper beds. Where do
you think those come from? They don't just fall out
of the sky. It's because we funded these facilities. Guess what,
Deportions aren't gonna start. Deportations are gonna stop, detentions are
(21:14):
gonna stop. We're still gonna be arresting illegal aliens. The
less funding you give to those operations, the poorer the
conditions that these people are being kept in are. So
what is your argument here we should cut the budget
so that we have to basically pile these people on
top of each other in sheds, which is what they
claim is happening already. We're building nice facilities to hold
(21:38):
these people, and you want what less funding so we
can make the facilities worse, And yet you claim you're
the humanitarians looking out for these illegal aliens. It doesn't
make any sense, but nobody ever calls them on that.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Forty five billion from three and a half billions so
across the board. And then there's separate money for ice
agents for you know, any number of pieces of the transportation,
the deportation, all of that. So it is really essentially
saying we if whatever you see right now, joy multiply
(22:12):
that by ten to twelve times. That's what we're going
to start seeing in terms of ice agents, terrorizing, disappearing,
kidnapping immigrants, deporting them to third countries, holding them incarceration facilities.
These are jails now, these are not really civil detention centers,
which is what they're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
So my advice to you, if you're an illegal alien,
get out, because she's describing this horror story, which frankly,
it's not half as bad as she's trying to make
it out to be. But even if it was, this
would be a really good reason to get the hell
out of my country if you're not supposed to be here,
(22:53):
and if you're thinking about becoming an illegal alien, if
you're hanging out and just on the other side of
the Rio Grant and you think maybe.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I'll jump it and see what happens. Don't that's what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I wish it's actually it's really not that bad, But nevertheless,
stay out.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
This is a great deterrent good I don't want.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Illegal aliens in this country, and if they are convinced
that it's gonna be a horror story if they come here,
they won't. I have no problem with this, I really don't.
I have no sympathy for illegal aliens. I don't care
what your sub story is. We have a process, follow
the law, or face the consequences. If you can't do
the time, don't do the crime. So they're very upset
(23:36):
because our big beautiful bill funds border security whatever. Here's
all of the other things that the big beautiful bill does.
And here's President Trump right after signing it on July fourth,
giving a speech about the big beautiful bill, talking about
how great it's going to be, and we'll dig into
this in a minute, and all the good things about it.
Because there's the left's reaction. Here's President Trump right after
(23:58):
he signed it, speaking to a crowd at the White
House about how great it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
And we've delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
And that's why when you.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Hear things like that, this is the most pop it's
the biggest bill of its kind ever done by far.
But we are going to have a situation. We are
going to have something where people are going to realize
the level of success and popularity of this bill. And
sort of to close it out, it makes the child
tax credit permanent for forty million American families and to
(24:37):
increase the car affordability it makes interest on a new
car payment. So this had never happened before. You buy
a car, you borrow money, you're allowed to deduct for
income tax purposes. Your payment of interest, you're allowed to
deduct it. It's never happened before. So run out and
buy a car. But I have to tell you, it's
only good, Mike, if it's made in America. If it's
(25:00):
made in another country, you don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Okay, that's great. Frankly, it is great. There is a
lot of really good stuff in this bill. We talked
again on Wednesday. It's way bigger than it should be.
It's a huge budget that may or may not end
up leveling out over time. We don't know for sure.
It is bigger than it probably should have been. But
let's not get it into our heads that this bill
(25:25):
is completely terrible. There are upsides to this bill.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Everything Trump said to a certain degree is true, and
it's all great for the United States.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Of America, for our economy, for our paychecks. You will
be paying less taxes because.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Of this bill.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
There is a community note on this post right now
that says the One Big, Beautiful Bill doesn't fully eliminate
taxes on tips, or overtime.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
And that note is correct.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
There are caps on all of these things, but it
gives us a baseline to star.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
We got our foot in the door.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Now we can start saying, hey, let's increase, do less
tax on social Security and tips.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Let's keep going, let's push this ball. We got it rolling,
Let's keep going.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The idea that we were going to get everything we
want all at once was ridiculous, not with the majority
we have in Congress. But now we have something to say, Look,
we can't make some progress on this if you give
us your vote. So go out in you know, next
spring during the primaries and vote for Republicans that will
expand these things. And then when November rolls around, vote
(26:30):
for them again. And then when it comes time to
make the next budget, we can get an even better
budget bill with even more tax relief.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Do we have, you know, ground to make up? Further
to go?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Absolutely, but we've gotten the ball rolling, which is great.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
It is. Here's jd.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Vance also celebrating the big, beautiful bill, talking about what
a great win it is. How much progress we're going
to see just on the economy because of this bill.
And hey, you are are going to see progress on
the economy. Because of this bill, you are going to
see people paying less in tax, which means they will
have more money in their pocket, which means they can
spend more.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Our GDP can grow. And we don't have to do
that by shoveling more money that the government prints out
of nowhere into the economy. We can just let people
keep their money and spend it. That's great. Here's jd.
Vas talking about that.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
I think when people realize how much this benefits the
people in North Dakota, the people of the United States,
this bill is going to be very popular.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
We're going to look back on this.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
I really do think as the beginning of the Gold
Age of the United States of America. And remember it's
not just the bill, it's all of the Trump administration
policies that form a coherent whole where we're trying to
make it easier to invest and build in the United
States of America. We're trying to make it harder to
invest outside of the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
We would have build a.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
Future for our own people. So I think we need
to take the one big beautiful bill, the president's tariff policies,
our energy policies, What it means is that for the
first time in a very long time, we're going to
the right direction, producing more energy, building a future for
our people, make it easier to save and invest in
the United States of America. We're going to look back
on this, I think is an inflection point where for
(28:12):
too long America's been going to the wrong direction. Now
we're going to the right direction. Rome wasn't built in
a day. But I think you're gonna see a lot
of great progress very quickly now that this bill, well
in a few hours, is going to get signed in
along time.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
He's right, Rome was not built in a day, and
that's an important point to remember. I do think we
are going to end up seeing a lot of really
good benefits from this bill. Again, like he pointed out,
America is basically like a big cruise ship that's been
traveling in the wrong direction for a long time. You
can't just turn that around on a dot. You have
to slow the ship. You have to slowly turn it around,
(28:47):
and then you have to kick the engines back up
and get us pushing in the right direction. This is
a start. We have progress to make, but this is
a good start, all right. We've got one more segment
coming up. We will be right back.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
All right, This is gonna be.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
An action packed fourth segment of the show, so we're
gonna hit a lot of points really fast. First of all,
the Big Beautiful Bill, like we talked about in the
last segment, is now law. I played you a bunch
of clips of different people in the Trump administration, namely
Trump and Jady Vance talking about how great they think
the Big Beautiful Bill is. But it's worth noting this
(29:34):
is not just Trump and jd Vance saying this. There's
actually people on the ground, citizens of the United States
of America that are also saying, Hey, we think this
is really gonna benefit us. We think this no taxes
on tip thing is really gonna work out. Here is
a store owner speaking with I believe this is CBS
Morning News or CBS Evening News, one of the two.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It's CBS.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
He's speaking with CBS talking about, Hey, I run this
small town store. I have a lot of employees, A
lot of them kind of make a lot of money
and tips or rely on tips or just get tips
because it's nice and a little something extra, and I
think this is really going to help them.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Here he is saying that to CBS of all people.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Ben Smith in Iowa, owner of Smitty's Tenderloin breathe desigh
of relief. The restaurant has been in Smith's family for generations.
He says the bill's provision eliminating federal taxes on tips
could help his industry. What does that.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Mean for you as a restaurant owner?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
No tax on tips for your employees.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Why I look at it is a good opportunity to
just to see our employees, see each other, labor and
hard work.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Deanna Musler has been working at Smitty's for nearly four decades.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
We don't expect a tip, Well I don't you know,
but it is it will benefit.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It will benefit.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
That seems to be the consistent message people are saying, Hey,
I'm actually kind of excited about this, except that there
are a handful of people that are upset about the big,
beautiful bill. Most of them happen to be radical, crazy leftists.
We keep hearing about, oh, so many people are gonna
lose their health care coverage because of this bill.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
That's the line from the left.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
And I always look at this and say, okay, if
that's the case, point out to me who are the
people that are not getting coverage that they need.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Who are the folks that legitimately should be.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
On these programs and need this coverage, actually need it
and are not going to get it because of Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
And for every person you showed me, I will show you,
first of.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
All, a private charity that will help them, because that's
really what should be happening here. Private charities should be
stepping up to do this, not the government. This is
not the job of the government. But the only people
that I've actually seen complaining, hey here i am I'm
actually going to lose my health care health care in quotes,
and it's always it's just trans people or non binary people.
(32:02):
That's the only people I've seen. I've seen dozens of
these videos. If somebody saying, hey, look it's me. I'm
not gonna be getting my healthcare that I need. Okay, well,
what's the healthcare that you need? My hormone treatments, because
I think I'm.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
A man and I'm a woman.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
All Right, you don't need that, and my tax dollars
shouldn't be paying for it. You're crazy. Seek mental help.
That's the reality of the situation. I'm sorry if you
hate me for saying this. You are not transgender, you
are not the opposite sex. You do not need me
to fund your homeone treatments with my tax dollars. You
need to get mental help because you think you are
(32:35):
something you are not. Here is this leftist sitting in
Dy Theam's car making this video complaining about the fact
that she because it's a woman who wants testosterone to
become a man, or at least become more like a man,
you can't become a man.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
That's the dirty little secret here.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
She's complaining that she's not gonna get her taxpayer funded
testosterone treatments anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I'm Cayman and I'm on E and that upsets a
lot of people. But guess what to the people that
are upset, you got you wish.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
They're cutting EBT.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Just to clarify a few things real quick, I work
fifty plus hour weeks, I am disabled, I've lost my
family and my home at age nineteen, and I get
like one hundred and seventy eight dollars a month to
use on groceries and that's being cut entirely. You know
what else hasn't been covered for a while. My testosterone.
It's been sixty two dollars per week out of pocket,
(33:30):
which is why I haven't been on it for months.
It's causing health issues, it's causing hormonal problems. It's really
not a good thing all around. I'm also on Medicaid.
Medicaid is on the line to be cut. If I
don't have health insurance, that's even more money out of pocket.
So you know what I'm not doing this year. I'm
not paying taxes because this government does not represent me.
No taxation without representation. If you guys aren't willing to
(33:53):
pay as a community to help people like me and
people who are different from you, then people like us
aren't going to be willing to help you either. I'm
already doing all I can to take care of myself,
and it's incredibly difficult. I can't try much harder because
I'm expending all of my energy doing this. So that's
part of why I make extra money here on TikTok.
By the way, if you're still here, thank you for
all the interaction you can give, because I'm trying to
(34:14):
leave this country and making money on here could really
help with that.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
So bye bye, Please get out of the country. Please,
I'm begging you. I'll buy you the plane ticket myself.
I'll go into my own pocket to get you the
hell out of here. God lease, people are so freaking annoying.
There's just so much to dig into in this video.
First of all, I would bet you at least fifty
dollars right now that the person in this video works
(34:39):
as a barista or some ridiculous job like that. That's
almost definitely the career path right here. So my advice
to you, first of all would be go get a
better job. It can be done. It's not that hard,
all right. I went from working in fast food to
doing this. It can be done, all right. I don't
care about your sob stories, don't. You are not my responsibility.
(35:02):
You're not You're not anyone else's responsibility. Your life is
your own responsibility. This is an adult. If you're not
comfortable with the amount of money you're making or the
benefits you get at your job, go get a different one.
Stop demanding that I, who did go out and get
a better job that I wanted, subsidize your poor life choices.
(35:24):
It's not my job as a taxpayer to pay for
the life you want to live. Take some responsibility for yourself.
Get off of TikTok, stop complaining, go get a better job,
or keep complaining on TikTok and make money and get
the hell out. Since that's clearly what you do want
to do it, and you know what, I support it
because you are a leech on my country and I
(35:45):
don't want you here.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
You are an inconvenience.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
One thing I do want to address is the fact
she's like, I'm just not gonna pay taxes anymore. Hey, listen,
I'm not gonna fight you on that. I'm as libertarian
as you could possibly get. I wish nobody ever had
to pay any taxes. However, I'm not stupid enough to
trifle with the irs. If they can take down al Capone,
they can take down you. You goofy barista. And what's
(36:13):
really funny is she thinks she has a choice.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
She doesn't.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Your taxes are coming out of your paycheck, and that
paycheck you're getting from TikTok, if it's not taxed, guess what,
you still owe that money in taxes and they will
come get it from you, or they will throw you
in jail. If you want to try to fight the irs,
be my guest. But if you can't afford to pay
sixty dollars a month for testosterone treatments, you definitely cannot
(36:39):
afford a good tax attorney.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
For sure. These people are ridiculous. They don't think even slightly.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Another thing that I really love is she talks about
how I've been off my testosterone treatments and now I'm
having all these medical problems. So what you mean to
tell me that it's not a good idea to try
to permanently alter your body chemistry with things that are
not natural to you. You mean to tell me that
when you start pumping hormones into your body that you're
(37:08):
not supposed to have in your body because you're a woman,
not a man that has side effects.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
What a shock. I love these videos like this because
they always.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
End up perfectly making the case that they're trying to
make the opposite case of Like this lady wants us
to feel bad because the big beautiful bill is going
to ruin her life, But she's making the perfect example
of Hey, this is why we need to scale back
how much money we're spending all that on all these programs.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
This is the reason.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Look at this crazy person who you're funding her testosterone treatments.
This is why we need to cut the money going
into programs like Medicaid, because we shouldn't be paying for this. Also,
her utter misunderstanding of no taxation without representation is kind
of funny to me, just because I'm a big believer
in history and I try to study it as much
(38:00):
as I can, especially important periods like the American Revolution.
No tax without representation does not mean if the government
isn't doing exactly what you want, you don't have to
pay taxes anymore. That was not the idea that the
Founding Fathers were trying to put forward. They were saying, Hey,
we have a monarch who couldn't care less about us,
who is governing us tyrannically without giving us a second thought,
(38:22):
and we're going to do something about that. And then
we have an elected representatives that will then try to
hopefully work in your best interests, not Oh I didn't
get my way, so I'm not paying my taxes. These
people are stupid, they really are. Anyway, That's all I've
got for you this Sunday evening. Remember the podcast next Wednesday,
tune in, give it a listen. And of course I'm
on Instagram. I'm on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan on
