Listen to The Next-Gen Report live! Sundays at 7:00 p.m. on AM950, KPRC.
America's largest city will now be run by a communist Muslim. How did a major Western nation get to a point where so many of our citizens are willing to vote for someone like Mamdani?
The left is continuing its push to include illegal aliens in our electoral system. So is it time that we make some changes at the constitutional level to push back?

Speaker 1 (00:02):
From the heart of the Space City to the heart
of gen Z. Welcome to Next Gen Conversation, not Dad's
Talk Radio. Ethan talks to you about the issues and
events that men are to our generation.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is the next Gen Report put Ethan Buchanan that hey, everybody, welcome.
Oh man, such such such a lot to get to,
A whole lot, whole lot to get here. I want
to start off with something I think kind of fun.
(00:41):
You know, we all love to bash on the movie theater,
so I think I'm gonna do that. But first a
little bit of housekeeping. Give me a quick follow on
X at Underscore Ethan Buchanan. And second off, if you're
listening to this right now, I want you to tune
in on Sunday to the Sunday Show that's on AM
nine fifty KPRC. If you're in the Houston area, you
can listen on your actual radio, or you can listen
(01:04):
from anywhere live on the Free Art Radio app. It's
a live broadcast. Every week we sit down and talk
about all the stuff that's gone on over the course
of the week. It's a great time. It's a great show.
Every single weekend, seven pm on Sunday, evenings. Check it out,
take a listen. It's it's fun. We have a good
time over there. But yeah, follow me on NEX check
(01:24):
that out. Anyway, let's dig into it. I saw this
piece from Breitbart and it kind of got me thinking.
October box office hit record low due to movies no
one asked for so they go out. John Nolty is
who wrote this. He points out that, you know, this
is the worst year for the box office that we've
(01:46):
seen in the United States since nineteen ninety seven, and
it's substantially worse than nineteen ninety seven because of inflation.
So in nineteen ninety eight, the October box office grossed
fifty five points six million. In October of nineteen ninety seven,
the gross was just three eighty five million. Those nineteen
(02:07):
ninety seven and nineteen ninety eight numbers do not account
for inflation. We're looking at just four hundred and twenty
five million this October. So pretty bad, pretty bad box
office numbers. There's a lot of blame to go around
for this, right Obviously, I think COVID had a fairly
(02:28):
irreversible effect on movies. Most people just feel like whatever,
any movie that I'm interested in seeing I can wait
till it's on any given streaming platform. Most people have
access to most of the main streaming platforms. Now I
have Disney Plus, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and a couple others.
(02:50):
I think that, you know, I've had passwords shared with
me from various people. So most people in the United
States have access to most streaming platforms. So why bother
going to the movies. I can just wait a few
weeks or a few months, depending and just watch the
movies at home, you know. And then another thing that
he blames this for is people just aren't interested in
(03:12):
the movies, and I think that's definitely part of it.
He lists some of the big, uh, main kind of blockbusters.
I guess they weren't really blockbusters, but the main drawing
films that came out of the last couple of weeks.
Tronto Aries that was a flop, Springsteen, Deliver Me Nowhere flop,
The Smashing Machine, Black Phone Two, Boogonia, Chainsaw Man, Roofman, Anumni,
(03:40):
I don't know what that word is, after The Hunt
and Kiss of Spider Woman. These were some of the
big movies that came out over the last few weeks.
So and yeah, most of these did flop, tront Aries, Springsteen,
The Smashing Machine, and Black Phone two are the only
films on this list that I saw any advertizing for
(04:01):
any at all. I think that's a bigger factor here
than just people just don't like the movies. I think
most people don't know anything about these movies, have no
reason to go see them. Used to be, when there
was a big movie coming out, you'd see ads for
it everywhere. You'd see posters for it everywhere. You'd even
hear ads for some movies on the radio. I haven't
(04:21):
seen any advertising for any of these films except Black Phone,
Smashing Machines, Springsteen, and tront Ayres. And then for those
four movies that I have seen advertising for, the only
one that did well was Black Phone two. I mean,
it's a horror movie from a popular franchise that came
out in October. No kidding, go figure, duh, that movie's
gonna do well. For these other three that flopped. The
(04:43):
Smashing Machine, I mean, if you're gonna do a biopic,
it's got to be about somebody that's you know, well
known broadly. Right. The Smashing Machine is not about someone
that's well known broadly. It's about like a very specific
MMA fighter a long time ago before MMA was big,
So nobody's gonna go see that except big time MMA fans.
(05:07):
And again that's the big issue with biopicks. When you
do a biopic, you have to market it to bring
people into a fandom, like you have to be like,
you know, you need to reach out to people who
aren't necessarily aware, but aren't vaguely aware of the person,
and say, here's this kind of cult following that you
could be a part of. I think that's why the
(05:27):
Elvis movie did so well. Everybody knows who Elvis is,
but nobody really knows who Elvis is, you know, and
so the Elvis film did really well. So okay, what
about Springsteen? Deliver Deliver Me from Nowhere. I think in
this particular film's case, this is a problem with the
(05:48):
fact that Springsteen is still alive. I think doing a
biopic about someone who isn't dead yet is kind of weird.
I don't know. Maybe that's just me, Maybe I'm weird
like that, but I feel like if you're making a
biopic about someone, it should be posthumous. I don't know.
And then tron aries again, this is just recycling the
same old franchise again and again again. How many times
(06:08):
have we heard this complaint about Hollywood there's no original ideas, right,
So I think all of that is a contributing factor here.
Don't blame this all on one thing. It's not just
because Hollywood is too woke. It is, but I also
think it's because Hollywood doesn't understand the business of Hollywood anymore,
which is kind of ironic, but I think that's the
(06:29):
point we've gotten to. Hollywood doesn't understand the Hollywood business.
I didn't see a single ad for any of these
films Boogonia, Chainsaw Man, Roofman, and Almonini and After the
Hunt and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Never heard of
those until I read this article, So no kidding. They
flopped tron aries. How many Trono movies have there been?
We get it, we get it, have an original idea,
(06:53):
and these two biopics, I think that's just a classic
case of poor execution. I think that's what we're looking
at here. And the prices movie theater popcorn is super expensive,
prohibitively so the last time I actually went and saw
a movie with my wife, I spent forty dollars on concessions.
Nobody's interested in that. We'll just wait for these movies
(07:14):
that we're only kind of vaguely aware of to come
out on a streaming platform and we'll watch them there.
That's the big mistake that Hollywood made was streaming services.
And it's great for me because I can watch whatever
I want, whenever I want. But for the movie theater industry,
I think it may have killed it and it's just
kind of slowly dying. This is what we're seeing right now.
All right, we got a lot of important stuff to
talk about. We're gonna talk about some judges, some judges
(07:36):
rulings in the next segment, and then in the third
segment we're gonna be talking more about Zoltar Rob Zombie
or whatever his name is in New York statehooed. It's
gonna be a great episode of the Next Gen Report.
You're not gonna want to miss it. We'll be right back,
(08:21):
all right. I am about to destroy whatever faith you
may have had in the legal system. You would think
that the people that we have be the judges in
our society, the magistrates, the figures of supposedly highest authority,
(08:42):
would be the best and brightest of us. Nope, they're
the ones we catch being on the sidewalk. I'm not
kidding that happened. Arizona judge resigns after being caught allegedly
urinating on the street near courthouses. This is disgusting. An
Arizona Superior Court judge has resigned after allegedly being caught
urinating in public just steps from the courthouse where she served.
(09:07):
Prescott responded. Prescott Police responded around one thirty am on
October fourth, after witnesses reported a woman relieving herself near
Montezuma and Gurley Street, the same block as the courthouse
plaza where she worked, and of course, bodycam footage shows
the entire interaction. Look, you can there kind of see
(09:28):
her throwing up and peeing on the sidewalk right there
in the corner. What's kind of funny to me? And
I don't think this article actually mentions it is. Her
husband actually gets arrested for interfering in all of that.
Take a watch of this bodycam footage real quick?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Are you her husband?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Okay, can you hang out over by the cab for me?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:54):
You can, because I'm conducting an investigation for what because
I just saw her puking and urinating, exposing herself to
so I hope he's her.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Nope, that wasn't her. Now again, I'm not playing you
the video because it's gross, but I showed you the picture.
You can very clearly see her doing exactly what she's
accused of in the body cam footage.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Okay, you can go by the cab, or you can
continue to interfere with the investigation. Okay, last chance, go over.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
To the cab.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Okay, well, then you're do you think.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm going to show you on the ground if you resist.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
I gave you several chances.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And you don't want to listen to this, we have
a cabby.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
By I cawn't want to resistance.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I'm not doing anything. I'm not really listening. So a
long story short, the husband gets arrested, the judge gets
a citation for I think public indecency or something like that,
and she is of course resigned. So that gives you
an idea of just the class of person that we're
now having be judges. Now what was she doing? What
was a judge doing out at one thirty in the morning. Okay,
(11:07):
fair enough, you just wanted to have a nice night out,
maybe she was going clubbing or what have you. Whatever
people do out drunk at one thirty in the morning.
I can't imagine it's anything good. But that's what we've got,
you know, as judges. Now here's another fun judge. Judge
rules Trump can't require US citizenship for voting on federal
(11:30):
voting forms. President Donald Trump's request to add a documentary
proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form
cannot be enforced, a federal judge ruled friday. US District
judge Colleen Caller Cotally in Washington, d C. Sided with
democratic and civil rights groups that sued Trump administration over
(11:51):
his executive order to overhaul US elections. She ruled that
the proof of citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of
the separation of power. So the argument here is, according
to the Constitution, the states are in charge of their elections.
They administer them as they please. And I think that
(12:13):
makes sense. I see the logic that the founding fathers
had in that you don't want the federal government cramming
down its own mandates and dictates that are hypothetically unnecessary
on the individual states. If you look at it in
their perspective in the kind of late seventeen hundreds when
they're writing this, it makes a lot of sense, Right,
you want people to be kind of individual and independent,
(12:35):
and that's what they were going for with the United States.
In the modern context, that just unfortunately doesn't work. I
think there's a very strong case to be made that
I in Texas now in twenty twenty five, have they
vested interest in how California elections are run, at least
(12:59):
elections for federal positions in California, right, because that does
affect me. These people how they vote has an effect
on me. In Texas, how they vote for the president
affects me. How they vote for their representatives to a
more separate extent, to a further extent, also affects me.
(13:21):
So I think there's an argument to be made that
you need to have some federal standards for federal elections
elections for federal positions. Now, does that mean I want
the federal government to tell, you know, New York or
California how they elect their governor. No, But I think
for you know, presidential elections, for elections for the House
(13:46):
of Representatives in the Senate, I think there is a
case to be made that some basic standards be imposed
at the federal level, Like, hey, if this is a
federal position, you have to make sure that the people
voting for that federal position are at least citizens. I
don't think that's a huge burden. I think that's reasonable.
(14:08):
But we don't have that in the United States. We
just don't. I mean, we have the rule right you
have to be a citizen to vote. We all know
that that's understood law. There's really practically no enforcement of that.
In fact, you have states like California that are actively
trying to undermine that rule and make it as easy
(14:31):
as possible to break. That affects me, that affects other
parts of the country. So if you want that to
be the standard in California for California statewide elections, you
want anybody to be able to vote so long as
they're a resident. For who the governor of California is, fine,
go crazy. I don't care electing illegal alien, elected communist,
(14:52):
Go bananas. Who the governor of New York is or
the governor of California or the mayor of New York.
That doesn't really affect me that much. But who California
is voting to be the president. That does affect me.
That does because that's the federal level. I have to
live under those policies. And we could very well have
(15:15):
if the Democrats get their way, a situation in which
only the votes of New York and California matter in
presidential elections. If you cram so many legal aliens that
all get counted on the census, and those two states
get so many Electoral College votes that only they matter
(15:37):
when it comes to voting for the presidency. That affects me.
That affects me, and it's very it's very easy to
see the reality in which that occurs. Thankfully, I think
Donald Trump's presidency is making that reality a lot less likely,
(15:57):
but it's still out there. That possibility is still out there,
and I don't like the idea of that. I don't
want to have to live in that society. So I
think some very basic federal standards are justified, are necessary,
even and I'm not the only one who thinks that.
(16:18):
Most voters think that this is a Gallup twenty twenty
four poll. So you know, it's been several months at least,
but I have to imagine this hasn't changed that much.
Eighty three percent of voters are in favor of proof
of citizenship for voter registration. Eighty three percent. That's not
some fringe minority, that's not the radical Republicans, that's most people.
(16:45):
Fifteen percent opposed. I have to imagine that that fifteen
percent is the very far left radical base of the
Democrat Party who understand the game here. And here's what
the game is. The game is you pack states that
are already Democrat with illegal aliens. Those illegal aliens get
(17:05):
counted on the census, things like congressional seats, and you know,
electoral college votes are allocated based on those gamed numbers.
And then you have the people who are citizens, who
are already radical leftists turn around and vote for the Democrat,
(17:29):
and the Democrat wins every single time, because all you
need is the radical left base of a California or
in New York, and then you get one hundred and
fifty hypothetical electoral college votes at piece. That's the game here.
I don't like that. I don't want that reality, and
it's clear that that's what the Democrats do want, So
we need to take safeguards. We do, all right, Satan,
(17:50):
We got a lot more coming up. Will be right
back with more on this. Yeah, all right. Continuing on
(18:17):
the topic of voting, I think it's important for everyone
to understand this isn't just like a conspiracy theory. This
isn't even just political theory. This is demonstratably and obviously
what the left has been trying to do politically over
the last several years. This has been their goal. They
haven't tried particularly hard to hide it, and if they
(18:42):
have tried hard, they didn't do a very good job.
It's pretty obvious. To kind of make that point. I
want to show you this video of the California State Assembly.
Here is this guy calling out directly members of the
California State Assembly and showing them, look, here's how easy
it is to do things like vote illegally. That's kind
(19:05):
of farther off in the distance, but that's part of
the plan too. If having citizens vote for your ridiculous
policies is great, then having even more non citizens vote
for your ridiculous policies is even better. So what do
you do. You import them, and not only do they
give you more Electoral College votes, they actually give you
(19:27):
practical votes. They will actually just vote for you. You
don't need them to just be warm bodies sitting in
the state. You can actually bust them into the polls
and win elections that way too. This is happening right
now in California. Take a watch.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The idea that someone would actually vote illegally with the
penalties that are in place.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
It happens all the time. Center, It happens.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Okay, first of all, real quick, that's a stupid argument.
The idea that someone wouldn't do this crime because of
all the penalties that we have in place. It's just preposterous,
because we don't have strict penalties for other crimes that
people do.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Really anyway, because all the time you're just saying it's
not widespread, but I'm saying, we don't know how spread
it is because we don't detect it. I'm on the
website for the state of California to register to vote.
On the section that has where you put in your
driver's lives and your last four of your social there's
a box underneath each one that says I don't have one.
I don't have one, and then you're allowed to proceed
(20:28):
to go to vote.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So this idea that.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
You're not allowed to register to vote unless you present
some sort of identification is not accurate, it's not true,
it's not being implemented in the state of California. Additionally,
people are being registered to vote at the DMV, and
we already know based on audits, that the DMV has
improperly registered people to vote, including illegal immigrants, and we
have immunity in place that says if the DMV register's
someone who is not eligible, they're immune for prosecution. So
(20:53):
I don't believe we have sufficient safeguards in place that
detect and prevent people from committing voter fraud.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
So he's correctly pointing out that it's very easy to
get things like a driver's license in California, and once
you have that driver's license, it's very easy to do
things like register to vote or go vote. And as
a quick Google search will point out, you don't have
(21:24):
to be a citizen to get a California's driver's license,
and then you can use that to go register to vote,
or you can just register to vote without it. It's
that easy. As he points out, there's exceptions. I don't
have one, I don't have one. I don't have one,
and you can still register to vote just for fun
and games, let's do some quick research. Do I need
(21:46):
my ID to vote in California? A California voter is
not required to show identification at a polling place before
casting a ballot, So you can just pinky promise that
(22:06):
you're allowed to do this and put your vote in.
Does that seem like a safe system? Do we really
want to put the entire faith in trust of our
elections on the honor system? Really? I, for one, don't.
I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think
I can trust these people. I don't think I can
(22:29):
trust the Democrats that run California to put things like
law and order over their political agenda. I don't. I
think the moment they get a bunch of ballots from anybody,
including people who are supposed to vote, that are all
voting the way they want them to, they're just gonna say, oh, well,
what can you do? And then when you try to say, actually,
(22:52):
we should strengthen these laws, we should add some teeth
to these laws, some enforcement, the Democrats will turn around
and say, no, we don't need that. There's already strict
in place. No, there's not, No, there's not not. Really,
I mean, if you get caught, sure, but what are
the chances you're gonna get caught. California's not checking, they
(23:12):
don't care. So who's gonna catch you? The Feds? Maybe? Maybe,
But that's hundreds of millions of people that the Feds
have to sit through. What are the odds that they're
going to catch the you know, relatively small number of
voters in these different localities and states that are voting illegally.
(23:32):
It's up to the states to administer their elections. That's
what the constitution says. I think this is a weak
point in the Constitution. I think we do need to
have some light. I'm not saying draconian, I'm saying just basic. Hey,
you have to make sure that these people are citizens.
You can run your elections however you want, but when
(23:54):
it's federal elections for federal positions, you can do whatever
you want, so long as you're clearing these bars. I
don't think that's too far. I think not doing it
is foolish, a naive at best. Anyway, let's talk about
the zorhon mam Donni voter. I think it's important for
(24:14):
us to actually analyze who are the types of people
that actually went out and voted for Zorhon Mamdanni. And
the short answer is they're idiots, right, But there's a
lot more to it than that. So I want to
show you this clip of a literal communist. I mean
you can kind of see it right now in just
(24:36):
the thumbnail of this video. He's wearing a literal communist
T shirt. And here he is talking about how great
it is that Zorhon Mamdani is going to be bringing
in publicly owned grocery stores, which is a horrible idea
on its face, but take a lism.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
The grocery store capitalists, which have quite quite a powerful lobby.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
One of the growthrocery store bosses, he said, I think
of gristides, right, He said that he was going to
pull out of New York City if or on one right,
we would say, sure, pull out, and we will take
over your grocery stores, right, and we will use them
for cheaper groceries, and we will take over the entire
food industry. Because that's that's something that can be done
(25:20):
if the working class is organized.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's something that could be done. If the working classes
go ahead, pull out, We'll take over your grocery stores.
My message is this good luck, good luck, go for it.
Where have we ever seen this tried and worked? Give
me one example. There isn't any This never works. This
is not an efficient way. The government running a grocery
store does not work. But if you're so confident, give
(25:44):
it a shot. But the actual root kind of ideology
here is this guy just really thinks the grocery stores
are evil. How dare you be profiteering off food, which
is what everybody needs. You're the reason people go hungry?
Lotti doa di dot. There's this idea that we're just
getting rich by charging two high prices for groceries, and
(26:06):
we're starving the pores and only the rich can afford
to eat. Hahaha, We're so evil. The problem with that
is the facts don't actually back it up. Average net
profit margin for grocery stores is typically very slim, ranging
from one to three percent. So this idea that it's
the grocery store capitalists and the grocery store lobbies that
(26:28):
are just screwing people out of food and furthering poverty,
it doesn't add up. It doesn't match reality. One point
or one two three percent is the profit margin. That's
not a lot. That's just enough for someone to say, well,
I might as well keep doing this because I'm making
a little bit of money on it. That's it. Nobody
(26:50):
is just getting obscenely rich by starving people. I mean,
there are people that are getting rich in the grocery
store industry, but it's because their profits are solow, so
they're bringing in huge amounts of sales and that's where
they get their money. It's not because oh, I'm charging
you freaking forty five dollars for a box of cereal.
(27:11):
It's because I'm charging you the bare minimum that I
can charge you to keep this grocery store running, and
you still buy the product. And maybe there's a little
off the top for me for my time and effort.
And these people are the bad guys. To the Zorhan
Mamdani voter, to the communists who don't understand how our
economy actually works. The dirty little secret is people need
(27:37):
a profit incentive in order to actually work and work. Well, sure,
maybe you can get a few mindless drones to kind
of barely prop the Janga tower up, but it's not
going to be a stable system. It's not going to
be a growth system. You're going to see at best
complete stagnation and at worst a drop off in supplies
(28:00):
because there's no reason to do this. The publicly owned
grocery stores aren't going to be able to pay the
same prices for the wholesale goods that a Walmart will
be able to and the Walmarts will leave town. They
will because they're not going to be able to compete
with the upfront pricing. And so what eventually happens is
(28:21):
everybody only can go to the government grocery stores and
there's just not enough food there. That's why we had
breadlines in Soviet Russia. And that's what people in New
York are voting for. That's what the communist radical base
of the left in New York City, that's what they want.
(28:41):
We're gonna talk about this a lot more. There's way
more here to dig into. So stay tuned for the
very last segment and we're gonna flesh this out a
little bit more. We'll be right back, all right. So
(29:17):
continuing with who the kind of Zorhon Mamdani voters actually are,
because I do think this is important for us to
understand what this political movement is because it's not going away.
It's not just going to disappear. Right, this is obviously
(29:38):
something big that's happening in America's most major city, so
it's important to understand it. No your enemy, right. I
think there are essentially two primary types of people who
vote for a Zorhon Mamdani. I think it's one actual
(29:58):
true believer. I mean, it's idiots like that guy from
that last segment. But then it's also just people who
do it for the vibes. And I think it's mostly
people who just do it for the vibes. I'll show
you an example of this. I think this lady's actually
the primary Zoltar Rob zombie voter. This lady, who is
(30:21):
a mom Donnie voter, legitimately has no clue what she's
voting for. She's just doing it because that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Take a listen, who are you voting for?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Mayor?
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I'm voting Donnie and why because he's the most obvious choice.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
What makes it an obvious choice for you?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
It's just like I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
It's just like I'm trying to think she has no
idea why he's the obvious choice. Let me just put
this in perspective for you, if someone asked me at
any given point why I was voting for Trump, I
could have instantly given you a clear and concise answer,
Why are you voting for Trump? I think he's the
obvious choice. Why is he the obvious choice? Because he's
(31:11):
the only candidate who's really speaking out strongly against the border.
And we've had a number of major social and societal
issues come from the fact that we have a wide
open border, primarily a spike in crime rates and federal
spending in order to deal with these people, and it's
not sustainable. Trump says he wants to fix it. I
believe him. That's why I'm voting for him. That's why
(31:32):
I think he's the obvious choice. Boom easy. This lady
couldn't tell you, to save her life, why she voted
for mom? Donnie, it gets worse. Take a listen.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
This reminds me of a certain comedy sketch where the
comedian was like, we could either vote in one guy
and he's gonna give everybody free houses, free rent, and
he's gonna give everybody a Lamborghini, or we could vote
in somebody who's gonna burn down the city. That's why
I'm voting Ma'm Dannie because I'm voting for the guy
who give me the Lamborghini.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yes, I'm voting for the guy who's just gonna give
me stuff. I don't care where it comes from, or
how he does it, or whether or not he can
do it. But he said he was gonna give me stuff,
so I'm going to vote for him. That's how people think.
Remember the famous JFK quote, ask not what your government
(32:26):
can do for you, but what you can do, or
ask not what your country can do for you, but
what you can do for your country. That was the
Democrats of the sixties. This is the complete polar opposite
of that, and this is one of the defining movements
inside the Democrat Party. Ask only what the government can
do for you, not how they're even going to do
(32:48):
it for you, just what they're going to do. That's
all she cares about. He said he was gonna give
me stuff. He said he was gonna make my rent cheaper.
Watch this guy, this I don't know who this is
geniusly and immediately pokes a massive hole in this lady's
entire argument.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Take a listen speak Monami's like, I'm just gonna give
you guys everything.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Not everything. I'm saying, it's like the most obvious choice.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
What do you think is gonna happen with government and
grocery stores in free buses?
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Do you think that sounds like a good idea?
Speaker 7 (33:18):
That does sound like a good idea.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
In freezing the rent, that does sound like a good idea.
What if they have to freeze the rent to the
point where eventually in the landlord's not able to come
in and fix the washer and make a profit on
his own lease.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That's that's that's their problem, you short sighted buffoon. That's
their problem. If the landlord can't do repairs on the house,
that's that's their problem. It's not my house, so I
just live in it. These people are stupid, They really are.
They really are stupid. It's the landlord's problem. It's not
my house, Yeah, but you live in it. Where are
(33:51):
you gonna live when the house you've been living in
or the apartment you've been living in has to be
condemned because they can't do the basic repairs have to
do on it because it's too expensive and they can't
make enough money off the house to do repairs on
the house. What happens then, that's their problem. She just
accidentally discovered the entire concept behind renting versus owning a home.
(34:18):
Because if you could just hop over to another home,
then yeah, it's not really your problem. You just move
into a different apartment or a different house, you just
rent somewhere else. But if every single house is in
the same situation and your only option is leave the city,
then what do you do. She doesn't have the mental
(34:43):
capacity to think that far. This woman is truly stupid.
But she'll go out and vote for Zorhan Mamdani because
he's the obvious choice. Why, I don't know. He's gonna
give me some stuff. He's gonna give me some things, man,
that's why great. You know what, go bananas. Know how
it works out for you. Let me know how it
works out for you. These people are stupid. There's also
(35:08):
this attempt right now to kind of reframe Zorhan Mamdani's
he's not actually a communists, he's just a democratic socialist.
Those those things are different. How are they different? Nobody knows.
Byron Donalds, who's probably going to be the next governor
of Florida, actually called out CNN for this for trying
(35:28):
to reframe Zorhan Mamdani is anything other than a dirty commedy,
which is what he is. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
When you put in communist and yes, communist policies, that's
what Zora Mamdani.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Is talking about. Socialist. I can't tell what the difference is.
Difference he can describe differences for you. The socialism is
not the same basis of communism in this country. You
know that quite well.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
The man wants to create the man wants to create
government run grocery stars. He wants free transportation, both of
which are impossible to do because.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
How's a trigger word all his policies. He's not don't
need to.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
I don't need to undermine his policies. His policies undermine himself.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Well, because they've never worked.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Here's all I want him to do. Tell me where
they've ever worked. They've never worked. He knows that. I
knows that. But what he's trying to do is promise
everybody something that they can't have. And the truth is
there is no free lunch, just like there's no free bus,
because you know what happens when you have a free bus,
there's nobody there to fix it or to drive it.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Couldn't have said it better myself. That's the ultimate problem.
If there's no profit, there's no reason for anyone to
actually do any of this stuff. There's no ability for
people to actually do any of this stuff. You don't
want landlords to make any money off of the land
they own and rent out to you. Great, what happens
(36:51):
when you need to repair the house? You think every
single landlord is going to go out there and do
the repairs on the houses they own themselves, like my
grand father did. My grandfather owned several rental homes. Whenever
there was an issue that wasn't obscenely major, my grandfather
would just grab his tools, go to Loew's, grab the supplies,
(37:12):
and do it himself. He was able to do that
because he was making profits to fund those repairs on
the homes that he was renting out. Not everybody is
in that situation. They don't have the skill set and
if you take away the profit, they can't even pay
someone else to do it. That is the ultimate issue.
And then the idea that Zorhan Mamdani isn't a communist,
(37:33):
he's just a democratic socialist. You know who to disagree
with that, it's probably Zorhan, who can be seen here
in this street from twenty twenty directly quoting the Communist Manifesto.
Each according to their need, each according to their ability.
Oh that sounds like a nice kind of example of
just regular old private charity. Yeah, that's what it should be.
Everybody just gives what they can to people who need it,
(37:55):
and we all live happy dory. Except that's from the
Communist Manifesto. That's literally a direct quote from the Communist Manifesto.
That's been a communist rally cry for years. This guy
is a communist. He clearly is. His policies are clearly communists.
I don't care what label you put on it. Call
it democratic socialism if that makes it sound more palatable
(38:17):
to these stupid voters who just want a free house.
It's communism. It doesn't work. It kills people, It kills people.
We have to understand not only this movement, but the
people voting for it if we want to actually defeat
it on a national level, which is critically important. We
(38:38):
have to defeat this on a national level. Anyway. That's
all I've got for you. Sunday, seven pm am nine
to fifteen KPRC. Tune in you're not gonna want to
miss it. It's a great show, and hey, real quick,
give me a follow on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan,
thank you very much for listening to the next Gen Report.

Talk Radio. Ethan talks to you about the issues and
events that men are to our generation.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is the next Gen Report put Ethan Buchanan that hey, everybody, welcome.
Oh man, such such such a lot to get to,
A whole lot, whole lot to get here. I want
to start off with something I think kind of fun.
(00:41):
You know, we all love to bash on the movie theater,
so I think I'm gonna do that. But first a
little bit of housekeeping. Give me a quick follow on
X at Underscore Ethan Buchanan. And second off, if you're
listening to this right now, I want you to tune
in on Sunday to the Sunday Show that's on AM
nine fifty KPRC. If you're in the Houston area, you
can listen on your actual radio, or you can listen
(01:04):
from anywhere live on the Free Art Radio app. It's

of the week. It's a great time. It's a great show.
Every single weekend, seven pm on Sunday, evenings. Check it out,
take a listen. It's it's fun. We have a good
time over there. But yeah, follow me on NEX check
(01:24):
that out. Anyway, let's dig into it. I saw this
piece from Breitbart and it kind of got me thinking.
October box office hit record low due to movies no
one asked for so they go out. John Nolty is
who wrote this. He points out that, you know, this
is the worst year for the box office that we've
(01:46):
seen in the United States since nineteen ninety seven, and
it's substantially worse than nineteen ninety seven because of inflation.
So in nineteen ninety eight, the October box office grossed
fifty five points six million. In October of nineteen ninety seven,
the gross was just three eighty five million. Those nineteen
(02:07):
ninety seven and nineteen ninety eight numbers do not account
for inflation. We're looking at just four hundred and twenty
five million this October. So pretty bad, pretty bad box
office numbers. There's a lot of blame to go around
for this, right Obviously, I think COVID had a fairly
(02:28):
irreversible effect on movies. Most people just feel like whatever,
any movie that I'm interested in seeing I can wait
till it's on any given streaming platform. Most people have
access to most of the main streaming platforms. Now I
have Disney Plus, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and a couple others.
(02:50):
I think that, you know, I've had passwords shared with
me from various people. So most people in the United
States have access to most streaming platforms. So why bother
going to the movies. I can just wait a few
weeks or a few months, depending and just watch the
movies at home, you know. And then another thing that
he blames this for is people just aren't interested in
(03:12):
the movies, and I think that's definitely part of it.
He lists some of the big, uh, main kind of blockbusters.
I guess they weren't really blockbusters, but the main drawing
films that came out of the last couple of weeks.
Tronto Aries that was a flop, Springsteen, Deliver Me Nowhere flop,
The Smashing Machine, Black Phone Two, Boogonia, Chainsaw Man, Roofman, Anumni,
(03:40):
I don't know what that word is, after The Hunt
and Kiss of Spider Woman. These were some of the
big movies that came out over the last few weeks.
So and yeah, most of these did flop, tront Aries, Springsteen,
The Smashing Machine, and Black Phone two are the only
films on this list that I saw any advertizing for
(04:01):
any at all. I think that's a bigger factor here
than just people just don't like the movies. I think
most people don't know anything about these movies, have no
reason to go see them. Used to be, when there
was a big movie coming out, you'd see ads for
it everywhere. You'd see posters for it everywhere. You'd even
hear ads for some movies on the radio. I haven't
(04:21):
seen any advertising for any of these films except Black Phone,
Smashing Machines, Springsteen, and tront Ayres. And then for those
four movies that I have seen advertising for, the only
one that did well was Black Phone two. I mean,
it's a horror movie from a popular franchise that came
out in October. No kidding, go figure, duh, that movie's
gonna do well. For these other three that flopped. The
(04:43):
Smashing Machine, I mean, if you're gonna do a biopic,
it's got to be about somebody that's you know, well
known broadly. Right. The Smashing Machine is not about someone
that's well known broadly. It's about like a very specific
MMA fighter a long time ago before MMA was big,
So nobody's gonna go see that except big time MMA fans.
(05:07):
And again that's the big issue with biopicks. When you
do a biopic, you have to market it to bring
people into a fandom, like you have to be like,
you know, you need to reach out to people who
aren't necessarily aware, but aren't vaguely aware of the person,
and say, here's this kind of cult following that you
could be a part of. I think that's why the
(05:27):
Elvis movie did so well. Everybody knows who Elvis is,
but nobody really knows who Elvis is, you know, and
so the Elvis film did really well. So okay, what
about Springsteen? Deliver Deliver Me from Nowhere. I think in
this particular film's case, this is a problem with the
(05:48):
fact that Springsteen is still alive. I think doing a
biopic about someone who isn't dead yet is kind of weird.
I don't know. Maybe that's just me, Maybe I'm weird
like that, but I feel like if you're making a
biopic about someone, it should be posthumous. I don't know.
And then tron aries again, this is just recycling the
same old franchise again and again again. How many times
(06:08):
have we heard this complaint about Hollywood there's no original ideas, right,
So I think all of that is a contributing factor here.
Don't blame this all on one thing. It's not just
because Hollywood is too woke. It is, but I also
think it's because Hollywood doesn't understand the business of Hollywood anymore,
which is kind of ironic, but I think that's the
(06:29):
point we've gotten to. Hollywood doesn't understand the Hollywood business.
I didn't see a single ad for any of these
films Boogonia, Chainsaw Man, Roofman, and Almonini and After the
Hunt and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Never heard of
those until I read this article, So no kidding. They
flopped tron aries. How many Trono movies have there been?
We get it, we get it, have an original idea,
(06:53):
and these two biopics, I think that's just a classic
case of poor execution. I think that's what we're looking
at here. And the prices movie theater popcorn is super expensive,
prohibitively so the last time I actually went and saw
a movie with my wife, I spent forty dollars on concessions.
Nobody's interested in that. We'll just wait for these movies
(07:14):
that we're only kind of vaguely aware of to come
out on a streaming platform and we'll watch them there.
That's the big mistake that Hollywood made was streaming services.
And it's great for me because I can watch whatever
I want, whenever I want. But for the movie theater industry,
I think it may have killed it and it's just
kind of slowly dying. This is what we're seeing right now.
All right, we got a lot of important stuff to
talk about. We're gonna talk about some judges, some judges
(07:36):
rulings in the next segment, and then in the third
segment we're gonna be talking more about Zoltar Rob Zombie
or whatever his name is in New York statehooed. It's
gonna be a great episode of the Next Gen Report.
You're not gonna want to miss it. We'll be right back,
(08:21):
all right. I am about to destroy whatever faith you
may have had in the legal system. You would think
that the people that we have be the judges in
our society, the magistrates, the figures of supposedly highest authority,
(08:42):
would be the best and brightest of us. Nope, they're
the ones we catch being on the sidewalk. I'm not
kidding that happened. Arizona judge resigns after being caught allegedly
urinating on the street near courthouses. This is disgusting. An
Arizona Superior Court judge has resigned after allegedly being caught
urinating in public just steps from the courthouse where she served.
(09:07):
Prescott responded. Prescott Police responded around one thirty am on
October fourth, after witnesses reported a woman relieving herself near
Montezuma and Gurley Street, the same block as the courthouse
plaza where she worked, and of course, bodycam footage shows
the entire interaction. Look, you can there kind of see
(09:28):
her throwing up and peeing on the sidewalk right there
in the corner. What's kind of funny to me? And
I don't think this article actually mentions it is. Her
husband actually gets arrested for interfering in all of that.
Take a watch of this bodycam footage real quick?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Are you her husband?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Okay, can you hang out over by the cab for me?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:54):
You can, because I'm conducting an investigation for what because
I just saw her puking and urinating, exposing herself to
so I hope he's her.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Nope, that wasn't her. Now again, I'm not playing you
the video because it's gross, but I showed you the picture.
You can very clearly see her doing exactly what she's
accused of in the body cam footage.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Okay, you can go by the cab, or you can
continue to interfere with the investigation. Okay, last chance, go over.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
To the cab.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Okay, well, then you're do you think.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm going to show you on the ground if you resist.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
I gave you several chances.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And you don't want to listen to this, we have
a cabby.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
By I cawn't want to resistance.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I'm not doing anything. I'm not really listening. So a
long story short, the husband gets arrested, the judge gets
a citation for I think public indecency or something like that,
and she is of course resigned. So that gives you
an idea of just the class of person that we're
now having be judges. Now what was she doing? What
was a judge doing out at one thirty in the morning. Okay,
(11:07):
fair enough, you just wanted to have a nice night out,
maybe she was going clubbing or what have you. Whatever
people do out drunk at one thirty in the morning.
I can't imagine it's anything good. But that's what we've got,
you know, as judges. Now here's another fun judge. Judge
rules Trump can't require US citizenship for voting on federal
(11:30):
voting forms. President Donald Trump's request to add a documentary
proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form
cannot be enforced, a federal judge ruled friday. US District
judge Colleen Caller Cotally in Washington, d C. Sided with
democratic and civil rights groups that sued Trump administration over
(11:51):
his executive order to overhaul US elections. She ruled that
the proof of citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of
the separation of power. So the argument here is, according
to the Constitution, the states are in charge of their elections.
They administer them as they please. And I think that
(12:13):
makes sense. I see the logic that the founding fathers
had in that you don't want the federal government cramming
down its own mandates and dictates that are hypothetically unnecessary
on the individual states. If you look at it in
their perspective in the kind of late seventeen hundreds when
they're writing this, it makes a lot of sense, Right,
you want people to be kind of individual and independent,
(12:35):
and that's what they were going for with the United States.
In the modern context, that just unfortunately doesn't work. I
think there's a very strong case to be made that
I in Texas now in twenty twenty five, have they
vested interest in how California elections are run, at least
(12:59):
elections for federal positions in California, right, because that does
affect me. These people how they vote has an effect
on me. In Texas, how they vote for the president
affects me. How they vote for their representatives to a
more separate extent, to a further extent, also affects me.
(13:21):
So I think there's an argument to be made that
you need to have some federal standards for federal elections
elections for federal positions. Now, does that mean I want
the federal government to tell, you know, New York or
California how they elect their governor. No, But I think
for you know, presidential elections, for elections for the House
(13:46):
of Representatives in the Senate, I think there is a
case to be made that some basic standards be imposed
at the federal level, Like, hey, if this is a
federal position, you have to make sure that the people
voting for that federal position are at least citizens. I
don't think that's a huge burden. I think that's reasonable.
(14:08):
But we don't have that in the United States. We
just don't. I mean, we have the rule right you
have to be a citizen to vote. We all know
that that's understood law. There's really practically no enforcement of that.
In fact, you have states like California that are actively
trying to undermine that rule and make it as easy
(14:31):
as possible to break. That affects me, that affects other
parts of the country. So if you want that to
be the standard in California for California statewide elections, you
want anybody to be able to vote so long as
they're a resident. For who the governor of California is, fine,
go crazy. I don't care electing illegal alien, elected communist,
(14:52):
Go bananas. Who the governor of New York is or
the governor of California or the mayor of New York.
That doesn't really affect me that much. But who California
is voting to be the president. That does affect me.
That does because that's the federal level. I have to
live under those policies. And we could very well have
(15:15):
if the Democrats get their way, a situation in which
only the votes of New York and California matter in
presidential elections. If you cram so many legal aliens that
all get counted on the census, and those two states
get so many Electoral College votes that only they matter
(15:37):
when it comes to voting for the presidency. That affects me.
That affects me, and it's very it's very easy to
see the reality in which that occurs. Thankfully, I think
Donald Trump's presidency is making that reality a lot less likely,
(15:57):
but it's still out there. That possibility is still out there,
and I don't like the idea of that. I don't
want to have to live in that society. So I
think some very basic federal standards are justified, are necessary,
even and I'm not the only one who thinks that.
(16:18):
Most voters think that this is a Gallup twenty twenty
four poll. So you know, it's been several months at least,
but I have to imagine this hasn't changed that much.
Eighty three percent of voters are in favor of proof
of citizenship for voter registration. Eighty three percent. That's not
some fringe minority, that's not the radical Republicans, that's most people.
(16:45):
Fifteen percent opposed. I have to imagine that that fifteen
percent is the very far left radical base of the
Democrat Party who understand the game here. And here's what
the game is. The game is you pack states that
are already Democrat with illegal aliens. Those illegal aliens get
(17:05):
counted on the census, things like congressional seats, and you know,
electoral college votes are allocated based on those gamed numbers.
And then you have the people who are citizens, who
are already radical leftists turn around and vote for the Democrat,
(17:29):
and the Democrat wins every single time, because all you
need is the radical left base of a California or
in New York, and then you get one hundred and
fifty hypothetical electoral college votes at piece. That's the game here.
I don't like that. I don't want that reality, and
it's clear that that's what the Democrats do want, So
we need to take safeguards. We do, all right, Satan,
(17:50):
We got a lot more coming up. Will be right
back with more on this. Yeah, all right. Continuing on
(18:17):
the topic of voting, I think it's important for everyone
to understand this isn't just like a conspiracy theory. This
isn't even just political theory. This is demonstratably and obviously
what the left has been trying to do politically over
the last several years. This has been their goal. They
haven't tried particularly hard to hide it, and if they
(18:42):
have tried hard, they didn't do a very good job.
It's pretty obvious. To kind of make that point. I
want to show you this video of the California State Assembly.
Here is this guy calling out directly members of the
California State Assembly and showing them, look, here's how easy
it is to do things like vote illegally. That's kind
(19:05):
of farther off in the distance, but that's part of
the plan too. If having citizens vote for your ridiculous
policies is great, then having even more non citizens vote
for your ridiculous policies is even better. So what do
you do. You import them, and not only do they
give you more Electoral College votes, they actually give you
(19:27):
practical votes. They will actually just vote for you. You
don't need them to just be warm bodies sitting in
the state. You can actually bust them into the polls
and win elections that way too. This is happening right
now in California. Take a watch.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The idea that someone would actually vote illegally with the
penalties that are in place.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
It happens all the time. Center, It happens.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Okay, first of all, real quick, that's a stupid argument.
The idea that someone wouldn't do this crime because of
all the penalties that we have in place. It's just preposterous,
because we don't have strict penalties for other crimes that
people do.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Really anyway, because all the time you're just saying it's
not widespread, but I'm saying, we don't know how spread
it is because we don't detect it. I'm on the
website for the state of California to register to vote.
On the section that has where you put in your
driver's lives and your last four of your social there's
a box underneath each one that says I don't have one.
I don't have one, and then you're allowed to proceed
(20:28):
to go to vote.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So this idea that.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
You're not allowed to register to vote unless you present
some sort of identification is not accurate, it's not true,
it's not being implemented in the state of California. Additionally,
people are being registered to vote at the DMV, and
we already know based on audits, that the DMV has
improperly registered people to vote, including illegal immigrants, and we
have immunity in place that says if the DMV register's
someone who is not eligible, they're immune for prosecution. So
(20:53):
I don't believe we have sufficient safeguards in place that
detect and prevent people from committing voter fraud.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
So he's correctly pointing out that it's very easy to
get things like a driver's license in California, and once
you have that driver's license, it's very easy to do
things like register to vote or go vote. And as
a quick Google search will point out, you don't have
(21:24):
to be a citizen to get a California's driver's license,
and then you can use that to go register to vote,
or you can just register to vote without it. It's
that easy. As he points out, there's exceptions. I don't
have one, I don't have one. I don't have one,
and you can still register to vote just for fun
and games, let's do some quick research. Do I need
(21:46):
my ID to vote in California? A California voter is
not required to show identification at a polling place before
casting a ballot, So you can just pinky promise that
(22:06):
you're allowed to do this and put your vote in.
Does that seem like a safe system? Do we really
want to put the entire faith in trust of our
elections on the honor system? Really? I, for one, don't.
I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think
I can trust these people. I don't think I can
(22:29):
trust the Democrats that run California to put things like
law and order over their political agenda. I don't. I
think the moment they get a bunch of ballots from anybody,
including people who are supposed to vote, that are all
voting the way they want them to, they're just gonna say, oh, well,
what can you do? And then when you try to say, actually,
(22:52):
we should strengthen these laws, we should add some teeth
to these laws, some enforcement, the Democrats will turn around
and say, no, we don't need that. There's already strict
in place. No, there's not, No, there's not not. Really,
I mean, if you get caught, sure, but what are
the chances you're gonna get caught. California's not checking, they
(23:12):
don't care. So who's gonna catch you? The Feds? Maybe? Maybe,
But that's hundreds of millions of people that the Feds
have to sit through. What are the odds that they're
going to catch the you know, relatively small number of
voters in these different localities and states that are voting illegally.
(23:32):
It's up to the states to administer their elections. That's
what the constitution says. I think this is a weak
point in the Constitution. I think we do need to
have some light. I'm not saying draconian, I'm saying just basic. Hey,
you have to make sure that these people are citizens.
You can run your elections however you want, but when
(23:54):
it's federal elections for federal positions, you can do whatever
you want, so long as you're clearing these bars. I
don't think that's too far. I think not doing it
is foolish, a naive at best. Anyway, let's talk about
the zorhon mam Donni voter. I think it's important for
(24:14):
us to actually analyze who are the types of people
that actually went out and voted for Zorhon Mamdanni. And
the short answer is they're idiots, right, But there's a
lot more to it than that. So I want to
show you this clip of a literal communist. I mean
you can kind of see it right now in just
(24:36):
the thumbnail of this video. He's wearing a literal communist
T shirt. And here he is talking about how great
it is that Zorhon Mamdani is going to be bringing
in publicly owned grocery stores, which is a horrible idea
on its face, but take a lism.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
The grocery store capitalists, which have quite quite a powerful lobby.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
One of the growthrocery store bosses, he said, I think
of gristides, right, He said that he was going to
pull out of New York City if or on one right,
we would say, sure, pull out, and we will take
over your grocery stores, right, and we will use them
for cheaper groceries, and we will take over the entire
food industry. Because that's that's something that can be done
(25:20):
if the working class is organized.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's something that could be done. If the working classes
go ahead, pull out, We'll take over your grocery stores.
My message is this good luck, good luck, go for it.
Where have we ever seen this tried and worked? Give
me one example. There isn't any This never works. This
is not an efficient way. The government running a grocery
store does not work. But if you're so confident, give
(25:44):
it a shot. But the actual root kind of ideology
here is this guy just really thinks the grocery stores
are evil. How dare you be profiteering off food, which
is what everybody needs. You're the reason people go hungry?
Lotti doa di dot. There's this idea that we're just
getting rich by charging two high prices for groceries, and
(26:06):
we're starving the pores and only the rich can afford
to eat. Hahaha, We're so evil. The problem with that
is the facts don't actually back it up. Average net
profit margin for grocery stores is typically very slim, ranging
from one to three percent. So this idea that it's
the grocery store capitalists and the grocery store lobbies that
(26:28):
are just screwing people out of food and furthering poverty,
it doesn't add up. It doesn't match reality. One point
or one two three percent is the profit margin. That's
not a lot. That's just enough for someone to say, well,
I might as well keep doing this because I'm making
a little bit of money on it. That's it. Nobody
(26:50):
is just getting obscenely rich by starving people. I mean,
there are people that are getting rich in the grocery
store industry, but it's because their profits are solow, so
they're bringing in huge amounts of sales and that's where
they get their money. It's not because oh, I'm charging
you freaking forty five dollars for a box of cereal.
(27:11):
It's because I'm charging you the bare minimum that I
can charge you to keep this grocery store running, and
you still buy the product. And maybe there's a little
off the top for me for my time and effort.
And these people are the bad guys. To the Zorhan
Mamdani voter, to the communists who don't understand how our
economy actually works. The dirty little secret is people need
(27:37):
a profit incentive in order to actually work and work. Well, sure,
maybe you can get a few mindless drones to kind
of barely prop the Janga tower up, but it's not
going to be a stable system. It's not going to
be a growth system. You're going to see at best
complete stagnation and at worst a drop off in supplies
(28:00):
because there's no reason to do this. The publicly owned
grocery stores aren't going to be able to pay the
same prices for the wholesale goods that a Walmart will
be able to and the Walmarts will leave town. They
will because they're not going to be able to compete
with the upfront pricing. And so what eventually happens is
(28:21):
everybody only can go to the government grocery stores and
there's just not enough food there. That's why we had
breadlines in Soviet Russia. And that's what people in New
York are voting for. That's what the communist radical base
of the left in New York City, that's what they want.
(28:41):
We're gonna talk about this a lot more. There's way
more here to dig into. So stay tuned for the
very last segment and we're gonna flesh this out a
little bit more. We'll be right back, all right. So
(29:17):
continuing with who the kind of Zorhon Mamdani voters actually are,
because I do think this is important for us to
understand what this political movement is because it's not going away.
It's not just going to disappear. Right, this is obviously
(29:38):
something big that's happening in America's most major city, so
it's important to understand it. No your enemy, right. I
think there are essentially two primary types of people who
vote for a Zorhon Mamdani. I think it's one actual
(29:58):
true believer. I mean, it's idiots like that guy from
that last segment. But then it's also just people who
do it for the vibes. And I think it's mostly
people who just do it for the vibes. I'll show
you an example of this. I think this lady's actually
the primary Zoltar Rob zombie voter. This lady, who is
(30:21):
a mom Donnie voter, legitimately has no clue what she's
voting for. She's just doing it because that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Take a listen, who are you voting for?
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Mayor?
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I'm voting Donnie and why because he's the most obvious choice.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
What makes it an obvious choice for you?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
It's just like I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
It's just like I'm trying to think she has no
idea why he's the obvious choice. Let me just put
this in perspective for you, if someone asked me at
any given point why I was voting for Trump, I
could have instantly given you a clear and concise answer,
Why are you voting for Trump? I think he's the
obvious choice. Why is he the obvious choice? Because he's
(31:11):
the only candidate who's really speaking out strongly against the border.
And we've had a number of major social and societal
issues come from the fact that we have a wide
open border, primarily a spike in crime rates and federal
spending in order to deal with these people, and it's
not sustainable. Trump says he wants to fix it. I
believe him. That's why I'm voting for him. That's why
(31:32):
I think he's the obvious choice. Boom easy. This lady
couldn't tell you, to save her life, why she voted
for mom? Donnie, it gets worse. Take a listen.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
This reminds me of a certain comedy sketch where the
comedian was like, we could either vote in one guy
and he's gonna give everybody free houses, free rent, and
he's gonna give everybody a Lamborghini, or we could vote
in somebody who's gonna burn down the city. That's why
I'm voting Ma'm Dannie because I'm voting for the guy
who give me the Lamborghini.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yes, I'm voting for the guy who's just gonna give
me stuff. I don't care where it comes from, or
how he does it, or whether or not he can
do it. But he said he was gonna give me stuff,
so I'm going to vote for him. That's how people think.
Remember the famous JFK quote, ask not what your government
(32:26):
can do for you, but what you can do, or
ask not what your country can do for you, but
what you can do for your country. That was the
Democrats of the sixties. This is the complete polar opposite
of that, and this is one of the defining movements
inside the Democrat Party. Ask only what the government can
do for you, not how they're even going to do
(32:48):
it for you, just what they're going to do. That's
all she cares about. He said he was gonna give
me stuff. He said he was gonna make my rent cheaper.
Watch this guy, this I don't know who this is
geniusly and immediately pokes a massive hole in this lady's
entire argument.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Take a listen speak Monami's like, I'm just gonna give
you guys everything.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Not everything. I'm saying, it's like the most obvious choice.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
What do you think is gonna happen with government and
grocery stores in free buses?
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Do you think that sounds like a good idea?
Speaker 7 (33:18):
That does sound like a good idea.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
In freezing the rent, that does sound like a good idea.
What if they have to freeze the rent to the
point where eventually in the landlord's not able to come
in and fix the washer and make a profit on
his own lease.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That's that's that's their problem, you short sighted buffoon. That's
their problem. If the landlord can't do repairs on the house,
that's that's their problem. It's not my house, so I
just live in it. These people are stupid, They really are.
They really are stupid. It's the landlord's problem. It's not
my house, Yeah, but you live in it. Where are
(33:51):
you gonna live when the house you've been living in
or the apartment you've been living in has to be
condemned because they can't do the basic repairs have to
do on it because it's too expensive and they can't
make enough money off the house to do repairs on
the house. What happens then, that's their problem. She just
accidentally discovered the entire concept behind renting versus owning a home.
(34:18):
Because if you could just hop over to another home,
then yeah, it's not really your problem. You just move
into a different apartment or a different house, you just
rent somewhere else. But if every single house is in
the same situation and your only option is leave the city,
then what do you do. She doesn't have the mental
(34:43):
capacity to think that far. This woman is truly stupid.
But she'll go out and vote for Zorhan Mamdani because
he's the obvious choice. Why, I don't know. He's gonna
give me some stuff. He's gonna give me some things, man,
that's why great. You know what, go bananas. Know how
it works out for you. Let me know how it
works out for you. These people are stupid. There's also
(35:08):
this attempt right now to kind of reframe Zorhan Mamdani's
he's not actually a communists, he's just a democratic socialist.
Those those things are different. How are they different? Nobody knows.
Byron Donalds, who's probably going to be the next governor
of Florida, actually called out CNN for this for trying
(35:28):
to reframe Zorhan Mamdani is anything other than a dirty commedy,
which is what he is. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
When you put in communist and yes, communist policies, that's
what Zora Mamdani.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Is talking about. Socialist. I can't tell what the difference is.
Difference he can describe differences for you. The socialism is
not the same basis of communism in this country. You
know that quite well.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
The man wants to create the man wants to create
government run grocery stars. He wants free transportation, both of
which are impossible to do because.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
How's a trigger word all his policies. He's not don't
need to.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
I don't need to undermine his policies. His policies undermine himself.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Well, because they've never worked.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Here's all I want him to do. Tell me where
they've ever worked. They've never worked. He knows that. I
knows that. But what he's trying to do is promise
everybody something that they can't have. And the truth is
there is no free lunch, just like there's no free bus,
because you know what happens when you have a free bus,
there's nobody there to fix it or to drive it.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Couldn't have said it better myself. That's the ultimate problem.
If there's no profit, there's no reason for anyone to
actually do any of this stuff. There's no ability for
people to actually do any of this stuff. You don't
want landlords to make any money off of the land
they own and rent out to you. Great, what happens
(36:51):
when you need to repair the house? You think every
single landlord is going to go out there and do
the repairs on the houses they own themselves, like my
grand father did. My grandfather owned several rental homes. Whenever
there was an issue that wasn't obscenely major, my grandfather
would just grab his tools, go to Loew's, grab the supplies,
(37:12):
and do it himself. He was able to do that
because he was making profits to fund those repairs on
the homes that he was renting out. Not everybody is
in that situation. They don't have the skill set and
if you take away the profit, they can't even pay
someone else to do it. That is the ultimate issue.
And then the idea that Zorhan Mamdani isn't a communist,
(37:33):
he's just a democratic socialist. You know who to disagree
with that, it's probably Zorhan, who can be seen here
in this street from twenty twenty directly quoting the Communist Manifesto.
Each according to their need, each according to their ability.
Oh that sounds like a nice kind of example of
just regular old private charity. Yeah, that's what it should be.
Everybody just gives what they can to people who need it,
(37:55):
and we all live happy dory. Except that's from the
Communist Manifesto. That's literally a direct quote from the Communist Manifesto.
That's been a communist rally cry for years. This guy
is a communist. He clearly is. His policies are clearly communists.
I don't care what label you put on it. Call
it democratic socialism if that makes it sound more palatable
(38:17):
to these stupid voters who just want a free house.
It's communism. It doesn't work. It kills people, It kills people.
We have to understand not only this movement, but the
people voting for it if we want to actually defeat
it on a national level, which is critically important. We
(38:38):
have to defeat this on a national level. Anyway. That's
all I've got for you. Sunday, seven pm am nine
to fifteen KPRC. Tune in you're not gonna want to
miss it. It's a great show, and hey, real quick,
give me a follow on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan,
thank you very much for listening to the next Gen Report.
I'll see you Sunday evening, eh,

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