TRUMP TEARS DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE - IT'S OUTRAGEOUS OR IS IT?

The left is freaking out about Trump's privately funded changes to the White House. While at the same time approving the Schumer Shutdown and taxpayer-funded pastry cooking classes in Haiti for male prostitutes. I wish I were kidding.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, hello and welcome to the Rogue Recap. I am
Linda McLaughlin, your host. Please follow us at Linda mick
at Rogue Recap on X We're going to do a
quick one tonight on something fun and it's called how
dumb are the Democrats and the Rhinos and the people
who just have you know, trumped arrangement syndrome, which sadly

(00:50):
is a very real thing. I used to say it
like as a joke, like, oh, you have TDS, and
now I'm like, no, you actually have TDS. Like this
should be categorized as real thing. So this week, in
addition to the left being upset that the president is
trying to clean up the streets in Portland from the
violent Antifa groups while he's trying to keep Washington, DC

(01:14):
clean as he continues to work on Memphis, as he
is now looking forward to the streets of California and
San Francisco in particular, because they have such a ridiculous
drug problem and it just seems to be a heroin
and fentanyl takeover on those streets, with tons and tons
of homeless and people just using needles and drugs openly

(01:37):
all day long in broad daylight. They just don't care.
And in the midst of all this, you know, the
President is meeting with world leaders and dealing with these
really really dumb left wing party advocates for things that
have nothing to do with helping America during this Schumer shutdown,

(01:57):
and one of the things that people are freaking looking
out about is the fact that the president is doing
construction on the White House. And one of the people
that spoke out against the president was Hillary Clinton, which
I find kind of rich because for those of you
who don't remember, she stole like almost one hundred thousand
dollars worth of furniture from the White House when her

(02:18):
and Bill left and had to return it all. I
don't know why you would want furniture that's been used
a thousand times anyway, but we'll put it to the
side for a hot second. So she's saying, it's the
people's house, you can't do this, and blah blah blah.
It's just utter and complete nonsense. And so, you know,
the White House put out a ton of information about

(02:41):
what is happening to the ballroom as well as you know,
the East Wing and what they're doing. And part of
what he did was he listed, you know, over the
last hundred years, how many presidents have done various things
to the White House, And he goes back to nineteen

(03:04):
oh two, and I'll just lift off some of the
things that have been done to the White House. And
I want you to note the following items that I'm
listening to you, unless I stayed otherwise, are paid for
by American taxpayer dollars. So in nineteen oh two, Theodore

(03:25):
Roosevelt built the West Wing. Okay, in nineteen oh nine,
President Taft added the first Oval office during the West
Wing expansion. In nineteen thirty three, Franklin Eleanor Roosevelt added
a second floor to the West Wing, and in nineteen
thirty four he relocated the Oval Office to where it

(03:48):
sits currently. Completed the east wing and built an indoor
swimming pool. In nineteen forty eight, President Truman began completely
gutting and rebuilding the White House interior, and he only
kept the exterior walls during that construction. In nineteen seventy
Nixon converted FDR's pool into a press briefing room. In

(04:12):
nineteen seventy three, he added a bowling alley into the basement.
In two thousand and nine, President Obama upgraded the tennis
court into a full basketball court. Now, in twenty twenty five,
here's where the exception comes. President Trump, on his own dime,
with his own money, has broken ground. He is building

(04:35):
a new grand ballroom, he's modernizing the wing, and he's
privately funding the entire project. So while all of these
other presidents have made far more extensive changes to the
White House and far more expansive construction projects, all on
your dime, this president is working on two areas. He

(04:58):
just finished the Rose Garden as well, just modernizing, cleaning
it up, putting a new pavement, et ce gutter, so
on and so forth. But all of it done on
his own dime, and people are losing their minds. What
are you so upset about? Why are you so angry?

(05:18):
You know, when Jackie Kennedy was redoing the White House
back in the day, they did a whole documentary on
JFK and what he was doing and why he was
doing it, and how exciting it all was and why
they were making these changes and so on and so forth.
But what's interesting about that is they did not they

(05:41):
did not end up airing and going through the changes
because of the assassination of JFK. But my point in
pointing this out was they thought it was so great,
they made an entire documentary about it, and then you
look at these people and they're freaking I was looking
at a report from CNN in twenty ten, and there's

(06:06):
these two reporters that are talking on CNN. One of
them actually goes to the White House. She's got the construction,
you know, hard hat on. They were doing a three
hundred and seventy six million dollar White House renovation during
Obama's administration. Not only were they not outraged, they were

(06:27):
so happy. They're smiling and they're laughing during the segment,
and they're they're doing first hand footage to show you
them breaking ground. I'm like, what is different? There's only
one thing different, and it's who's sitting in the White
House now. While they're very, very upset about this president

(06:51):
using his own money to fund changes to the White
House that will make the White House much better, structurally sound,
much cleaner, updated, all the things, they have no problem
spending your money. So while the government is shut down
and the Democrats continue to do stupid things like filibuster

(07:13):
on the floor, stay up all night reading poetry on
the Senate floor, it's absurd. There are hundreds of thousands
of government employees that aren't getting paid and the left
seems to think that's fine, that's not upsetting. And the
reason that they won't come to the table to find

(07:34):
mutual ground is because of a few items. Let's just
list them off for fun. Number one. They want free
health care for illegals. They want the funding restored for
NPR and PBS. Why why should we be funding MPR
and PBS. They want to revoke the monies that we

(07:55):
have allocated for rural hospitals, which we desperately need. They
want to put money back into climate and DEI funding,
but not for us, for foreign nations. And they want
to continue the Biden Obamacare subsidies. Why why would we
want any of them? What does that do for the

(08:18):
American people? You want to allocate funds for DEI because
of what? Why are we doing this? And then here's
some more things if we want to get into like specifics.
And I wish that I was kidding, like I wish
that I was being exaggerative or ridiculous about what I'm

(08:39):
talking about. But these are actual demands from the left
that they want in the CR the Continued resolution. Okay,
three million dollars allocate it for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia.
Eight hundred and thirty three thousand dollars for training gender

(09:00):
people in Nepal, four point two million dollars for LGBTQ
people in the Western Balkans and Uganda. Three point six
million dollars for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups
for mail prostitutes in Haiti. Did you hear what I

(09:23):
just said? Let me say it again. Three point six
million dollars for pastry cooking classes and dance focused groups
for mail prostitutes in Haiti. What the hell are we

(09:44):
talking about? You're telling me that male prostitutes in Haiti
are interested in pastry cooking classes. These are the issues
that they feel so deeply connected to and want to
devote their time to. In Haiti, a third world nation,
five hundred thousand dollars for electric buses in Rwanda, six

(10:07):
million dollars for media organizations for the Palestinians, three hundred
thousand dollars for a pride parade in lesothough eight hundred
and eighty two thousand dollars for social media and mentorship
in Serbia. So that's just a few items from their

(10:30):
list of demands. Can you explain to me why anybody
would think any of what I just said is a
good idea. Why on earth do you think it's people?
I mean, people are freaking. They're apoplectic over President Trump
working on the White House. It is so ridiculous. And

(10:52):
the problem is they know that the average person is
not aware of the fact that most presidents make changes
to the White House, drastic changes. Most presidents go in
and it's not just like they're changing pictures, they're changing
the flow of the home. I mean, think about that,
every single president before President Trump was doing this. But

(11:14):
because it's President Trump, it becomes a national story. And
not only is it a national story. But they neglect
to specify that he is not taking taxpayer funding to
do this. He's doing it on his own dime. He's
got private funding to make this happen. Why, I mean,

(11:36):
that doesn't even make sense. So these are the types
of things that we're really trying to get people to understand.
When you hear the left freaking out that changes are
being made to the White House, that this is the
people's house, that we don't have a right. What are
you talking about? He has every right. But what they're

(11:58):
not telling you is how they want to spend close
to four million dollars to teach a male prostitute in
Haiti how to make pastries. Don't we have enough problems here.
We're about to lose funding to our snap and food
programs for hundreds of thousands of children all over the country,

(12:20):
Which one of these asshole Democrats wants to tell one
of these little kiddos that they're not going to eat
tonight because they want their money to give to a
male prostitute in Haiti, or because they want Obamacare subsidies,
or because they want to make sure that they have
funding for a program that's been discontinued by President Trump.

(12:42):
There is such a dichotomy, there's such a divide where
it's good for thee and not me. Right, they're not
feeling what everybody else is feeling. They're not going through
what everybody else is going through. But I am so
sick and tired of this incredibly fake outrage about things

(13:04):
that are not true. How about you be upset because
you are asking the American taxpayer to give a million
dollars to transgender people in a poll. We got veterans
homeless on the street. We got thousands of kids waiting
in foster care trying to get adopted. We got people

(13:24):
who can't pay their mortgage and can't put food on
the table for their families. And this is what they're
doing with your money. And the issue is they've gotten
away with it for so dang long and they just
don't know what it is to hear no. So now
they're hearing no. Now the Republicans are standing strong. They're
saying to these idiots, come and pass the clean cr

(13:47):
that you've passed thirteen times previously, some of which under Biden,
Just come and do this. Enough they won't do it.
They want to stand outside on the Capitol steps and
feign outrage and act like they're being so wronged. They
are wrong. They are the problem. If you can look
at a list of Democrat demands of what they want

(14:10):
included in this bill, you would look at your family
member and you would say, this is ridiculous. I had
no idea. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They
want to take your money and literally put it into
other countries to help them achieve things that have nothing
to do with the well being of the average American person,

(14:34):
absolutely nothing. And why do they want to do that?
What are they getting out of it? There's the golden question.
You answer that and you can make it stop. I
know I'd love to hear it. So if you think
of it, please let us know. This is the Rogue Recap.
I am Lynna MacLaughlin. Thank you for joining us tonight.
We'll see you here tomorrow. Please be safe out there.

(14:55):
Have good night.
