Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hot takes, cold facts and zero respect for the official narrative.
Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap rogue style.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What's up, guys, Welcome to the Rogue Recap. It is Wednesday,
April Fools Day, April first, and so far, no one
has pranked me today. I was waiting for it, you know.
I have four kids, and I thought, at some point
today I am definitely going to get prank. But no
such luck today. So pretty funny. If you're listening for
(00:37):
the first time, I am Linda McLachlin. Follow us Rogue
recap dot com, at Rogue Recap at Linda mick all
the things like us, subscribe, YadA YadA. So I love
April Fools Day. I think it's really funny. I remember
being a kid growing up and always thinking what could
I do on April fools that would trick my parents,
or trick my brothers, or trick a teacher whatever it
(01:00):
is right? But I was the worst because I'm a
terrible liar. I don't play poker or all the things right.
Like it's written all over my face. If I like you,
if I don't like you, if I'm sad. I'm happy
you're going to know because my eyebrows are going to
change and my face is going to make a smile
or a frown or whatever. It's never a secret. But
I was looking around today I was like, did anybody
(01:20):
have an April Fool's moment? And man, did I find
the funniest post. So there's a there's a professor and
he's in front of a classroom of students, and whoever
posted this wrote this professor has a policy that if
your phone rings in class, you have to answer it
on speakerphone, which, let's be honest, that would be super embarrassing.
(01:43):
So the students arranged to have a friend call in
on April's full stay and have a really really funny joke.
So I just thought this was a classic. I've never
seen anything like this before. And I'll tell you what
the person is saying. If it's hard to hear, the
is a little bit quiet, but just take a listen.
I think it's hysterical. Hello, yes, okay, you might you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, I'll call that later.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Thank hey, I want to probably.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's okay. I've been accepting this and I already know
what I'm gonna mean the baby, the first name will
be April and the middle name will be So.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
If you couldn't hear what happened, So again, he makes
them answer the phone and has to be on speakerphone,
so she answers the phone and the guy says, Hi,
this is so and so from the Pregnancy Research Center,
we want to thank you so much for being a
participant in our research. And actually, when we ran your
I guess whatever she gave blood or whatever, right, it's
(03:28):
a joke, doesn't matter, but we ran you know, your test.
The results came back positive, and we saw from the
notes that you said the father was no longer in
the picture. But so we have services to help you
through the process. And he goes to his whole litany
of things, and obviously the teachers mortify because he's like, okay,
this is the opposite. Like normally, it's just like if
(03:50):
your friend's calling you and you're like, sorry, i'm a class, bye,
i gotta go, or whatever, right, your mom, your dad,
your friend, your brother, But this is like this serious call,
and the teacher's like so upset. He's like, I'm very sorry.
This is obviously not a call that you know, I
intended for you to take in front of the whole class,
and blah blah blah, and he feels so bad and
he's apologizing to her, and then you know, she makes
(04:11):
a joke and says, well, I've already decided what to
name the baby, and it is April Fools. So I
thought it was really funny. At the end of it,
you can't hear it because the kids start clapping and
hooting and hollering, but he says, he goes, you know what,
that was an amazing prank and you're gonna get bonus
points for that. So definitely really funny. He had a
great sense of humor about it, and I just thought
it was the funniest thing. You know, I do this
(04:32):
thing every night. My husband always laughs at me because obviously,
working in news, I cover awful stories all day long
and it gives you literally like no faith in humanity. Right,
So at night what I do is I watch stories
about animals, you know, animals that are reunited, or you
know when military and our veterans come home and their
(04:55):
their dogs and you know, their pets freak out and
they're so happy to see them, or you know, Bay
and puppies, babies, and dogs, horses, you name it. I'm
watching it. And I was watching this video last night
and it was a it was a police dog, it
was a canine dog, big German shepherd. I'm very partial
to German shepherds. And this little baby kitten and I
(05:18):
mean baby like probably like four weeks old, maybe tiny, tiny, tiny,
and this little thing is just wants to be best
friends with this German shepherd, I mean all over it,
rolling around, palling on its face, and this God bless them,
this German shepherd is like, hey, what's up. Yep, We're good.
I'm just hanging let's her climb all over them, you know,
(05:39):
making the biscuits in the back of his fur and
just like, I mean really cute, you know, and I'm like, see,
that's the stuff that makes me happy. Or the dogs
that see like the toddlers when they start walking, right,
or babies when they first start walking, and then toddler's
when they're playing, you know, when they're two and three.
You'll see these dogs they're so protective, you know, they'll no,
(06:00):
that might not be a good spot for him to stand.
So I'm just gonna kind of curve up around the
back of them, or I'm going to stand kind of
close here, and they'll always protect that child. And I
had that same experience. You know, my dog Whinnie, he
just passed away in November, but my youngest son Liam,
I had him maybe a year after I had Winston,
and so it was so funny seeing Liam grow up
(06:24):
with Winston, and Winston just always by his side, so protective,
so sweet, and even when I was pregnant, I mean
when he was head on my belly, he would hear
him kicking in the womb and he would be like, oh,
you know what, the head bob that they do just
all the things, but those are those are the moments,
right that we hang on to because they're positive, they're happy,
(06:44):
and they get you through the day when you're watching
humanity just literally hang itself out to dry at every turn.
I mean, just it's insane. Even today, you know, we
had this birthright citizenship case in front of the court,
as I'm sure many of you know and followed, and
it is so upsetting to see the people standing out
(07:07):
front of the court screaming for birthright citizenship, wearing the
most disgusting shirts that say like fuck Trump, Fuck America,
give me my rights. I want the money. I'm an
illegal immigrant and I don't give a shit. You know,
dancing men dressing as women, you know, trans flags, just
all the things. It's to me, it's so interesting to
(07:29):
always see the same group of misfits, right they it's
like that whole joke of like here's your flag, Like
we'll just change your flag for whatever the thing is today.
And this Supreme Court hearing was no different. And obviously
we had a landmark moment because President Trump went to
the Supreme Court and sat in to hear oral arguments,
(07:52):
which has never been done. We've never had a sitting
president go to the Supreme Court and hear hearing, right,
so really interesting to to see him take such an
avid interest. And you know, the fourteenth Amendment of our
Constitution states that if you are born in this country,
you are a citizen. And it was explained to me
by someone who is, you know, a bit of a
(08:16):
bit of an expert in this topic, in a constitutional historian,
that this is one of those moments where that particular
amendment was meant to make sure that slaves were given
equal rights in America and to make sure that they
were considered one hundred percent of a person, and the
(08:38):
right to vote and all of these equality measures. It
wasn't to give people that were pregnant and got pregnant
on purpose, right, whether they're four higher people that cross
the border illegally give birth on our side of the
aisle and then say well, my child is legal, so
now I'm legal, right, or they're legal for a little while,
(08:58):
and then they go back to the country, but they
can come back or they can send for their parents
later on in life. It's this disgusting business. There's this
one Chinese businessman and he supposedly is the father to
over a hundred anchor babies that he literally just seated
these children so that they could be in the United
(09:19):
States and then they grow up here, they live here,
and then they come back and they work in China.
And there's this strange reciprocity that he's creating that's not real.
It's artificial, and they are working against the United States,
not for the United States, whether it's through trafficking fentanyl,
you know, trade secrets, you have it. Peter Schweizer actually
(09:42):
has a lot of information on this through the Government
Accountability Institute, and he's done a ton of deep dives
on this and testified before the Senate probably about two
or three weeks ago now, and Dick Durbin was like
at him, like, well, what are the statistics. If it's one,
it's too many. I think that's the thing that I
(10:03):
always get so upset about, like how many is enough
for you to give a shit?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
As we see all of these kids and women, as
I talk about so often being hurt, being robbed, being raped,
being murdered by illegal aliens, and it's never enough. They
don't care. We just had another high school or killed
in Chicago just this week. You don't hear anything from
Brandon Johnson. Brandon Johnson's out there screaming about illegal immigrant
(10:28):
rights and reparations. He's not talking about new security measures,
he's not talking about how we can protect people. None
of that is coming out. And in fact JB. Pritzker,
the governor of Illinois, at a clip from I guess
it was twenty twenty five, just resurfaced and it's him saying,
if you don't like how things are going here in Illinois,
(10:49):
you can move. That's your answer. Why isn't it Listen,
we want to find a pathway to citizenship, which I
also don't agree with, but at least it would be
a better answer. We want to find a pathway to
becoming a legal citizen for those people that are here.
They're working, who knows how they got here, but they're
not doing anything right now that's criminal, and so we
(11:12):
want to help them become legal so that they can
pay into the system, they can be a part of
the ecosystem that is Illinois and the United States, and
we can sort of put this whole your illegal thing
to bed in the interim. If you're here and you're
here illegally, and you're committing crimes and you're murdering people,
and you're a part of the problem, not the solution,
then yes, we are going to cooperate with ICE, we
(11:34):
are going to cooperate with DHS, and we're going to
say see you later. I don't know why this concept
is so offensive to so many Democrats, even regular Democrats, Right,
These are people that are misinformed, and they say, you know,
we go back to the Billie Eilish thing from I
forget which award show. She was on some music show.
Who cares, but she got up there and said, no
(11:56):
one's illegal on stolen land, and so people started showing
up at her house, which, by the way, as a reminder,
is built on a Native American you know, holy site
or something. So people were like, all right, well you
got to move because you're actually on stolen land, you're
on sacred ground, so maybe you should get to get
And then who's she calling the police? So again it's
(12:17):
just there's so much of this that you have to
say like, Okay, it's enough. This is ridiculous, and it's
the whole, you know, good for thee not for me thing. Anyways,
I digress. But happy moments, April Fool's good stuff, right,
those are the moments they get you through the Pritzkers
and the Brandon Johnson's. I wanted to hit some stories
today that haven't gotten a lot of attention. I stumbled
(12:40):
across them earlier this afternoon and I thought that's interesting.
And I don't remember reading this. I don't know if
you guys do, but back in I guess it was
the end of last year. People started talking about this
former Capitol police officer, Shawnie Kirkhoff, who seemed to match
this pipe bomb that they've been looking for for the
(13:01):
last you know, five to six years, and we shouldn't
say looking right. Our administration is looking I'm sure the
Biden administration probably paid them off, but that's neither here
nor there. Our administration under Trump is continuing to look
into what happened, you know, on January sixth. And what's
interesting is as we see all of these rogue judges
(13:24):
that are releasing criminals on the street. I did my
show on that last night. Remember what they did to
the j six people, people that were waved in by
Capitol police to come into the Capitol, right. They didn't
break things, they didn't storm the doors. The doors were
opened for them. The video clearly shows it. This is
not a secret. They were kept without due process, put
(13:45):
in jails for years. It took President Trump coming in
and to get them out. Tina Peters is still in jail.
Tina Peters is a gold star wife and mother, and
she's sitting in jail right now because she had the
audacity to ask questions about the twenty twenty election. And
(14:06):
I think a lot of people had questions about the
twenty twenty election. And what you'll notice is whether it
was COVID or the election, you weren't allowed to talk
about it, and if you asked questions, you were called
a conspiracy theorist, you were called a fascist, you were
called whatever you were called. But they weren't happy about it,
(14:26):
and they turned everybody against each other. They did exactly
what they wanted to do, which was divide and conquer,
and they did it. And we had all these Democrats saying,
if you don't get the COVID shot, you're the problem.
If you don't believe that the twenty twenty election was
completely and totally with the utmost integrity and there's no questions,
(14:47):
you're the problem. I'm like, are you the same assholes
who were talking about how all of these software, you know,
voting machines were going to enable people to steal and cheat?
I mean, we had senators like this might ring a bell,
Kamala Harris, right, I mean think about that, you know,
Senator Warren, Senator Wyden. They wrote a letter to the
(15:10):
administration saying, we don't want to use these machines because
we think the Republicans are gonna cheat. Then all of
a sudden they got really quiet. I wonder why, perhaps
because they figured out how to cheat, and so then
it didn't matter anymore. Because they're like, oh, we got
it rigged. We're good. That whole expression too big to
rig exists for a reason. But I'm down a rabbit hole.
So January sixth, there were these pipe bombs place and
(15:31):
they kept trying to figure out where it came from.
Who's the person that placed the pipe bombs? So this
report came out today. For what it's worth, I did
a little background and it appears that this is correct
that SHAWNE. Kerkhoff, who was a Capitol police officer on
January sixth, failed a November FBI polygraph test when she
(15:55):
was asked if she placed the pipe bombs on January fifth,
twenty twenty one. Now this is coming out into court filing,
so I'm going to read to you what it says.
You tell me what you think. Shawnie Kerkhoff was named
as a person of interests in the January fifth and sixth,
twenty twenty one pipe bomb investigation. Miss Kirkhoff was a
(16:16):
US Capitol Police officer on January sixth and was present
at the Capitol on that date. Miss Kerkhoff now works
for the Central Intelligence Agency. According to discovery produced by
the government in this case, the FBI began investigating, questioning,
and covertly surveilling Miss Kerkhoff during the time it began
(16:37):
investigating mister Cole. On November sixth, twenty twenty five, Miss
Kerkhoff was interviewed by the FBI and took a polygraph examination.
She was asked two relevant questions, Number one, did you
place those pipe bombs? And number two did you place
those pipe bombs? That evening Miss Kerkhoff fell the polygraph.
(17:01):
The FBI polygraph examer noted Kerkhoff's very controlled reaction to
the news of her failing the polygraph. How weird is that?
And you haven't heard it anywhere? I mean, this came
out today. People are talking about it today on X
and I'm like, I have never heard this before. I
(17:22):
don't know if I'm just asleep at the switch, but
if you're like me, I'm like, what this is actually
big news, Like we need to find out what this
woman knew and when she knew it. And they said
that her I guess a lot of the forensic observations
and investigations, she matches the person of interest. It's like
(17:44):
a ninety three percent match. I was like, Okay, there's
something truly off. Here. And I also think that if
we look at the clothing, and then you look at
the clothing that was shown on the person, it's like, man,
I really am struggling with why we're not looking at
(18:05):
this more. Yeah. A computer program that match the bomb
suspect's gate to that of Shawny Kirkoff produced a ninety
four percent match. And when you look at it and
then you watch her walk and you look at all
the videos and pictures they have of her, I'm like, yeah, Okay,
that's that. I mean, it's just strange. Right. We have
(18:25):
to sort of raise our eyebrows and go, all right,
that's a little weird. In any event, I think those
are things that definitely bear a little bit more investigation
and definitely a deeper dive into what we are trying
to discover about January sixth, because we are we're literally
(18:45):
still looking for answers. We don't have answers, and we're
told that if we try to ask questions that were
the problem. The second story that we didn't hear a
lot about today is that a seven month old baby
was shot to death in broad daylight in Brooklyn during
a random shooting. So the city and the state that
(19:06):
doesn't want you to have guns, doesn't want you to
have mace, doesn't want you to have a knife, has
people being thrown into subways, set on fire on subways,
and if you're a baby and a stroller, you can
be shot dead in broad daylight in Brooklyn. Are you
kidding me? This is what we have going on? And
imagine you're a mom walking your baby and your child
(19:28):
is shot. It's the same shit that's going on in
Chicago all the time. These places that have this lockdown
on guns typically have the most violence, and you have
people that are trying to protect themselves, regular people. Do
you know how hard it is to get a concealed
carry in states like New York? You need to have
over two thousand verified death threats in order to get
(19:51):
a concealed carry in a state like New York. Why,
I'm telling you I have a burn up by RNA.
If you don't have one, I strongly advise you to
get one. They're friends and they're great people, they run
a great company, and it is legal in all fifty states.
You do not need a permit and you can actually
protect yourself. This is the stuff that really frightens me
(20:13):
and you have to be able to protect and your
family for that matter. Like I don't know in this case.
I mean, if there's somebody riding away. They have a
shot of the guy with the gun in Brooklyn. He's
like on the back of a scooter. One guy's driving
and he's got his arm out with the gun. He's
just shooting. It's two o'clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday,
and he's just shooting. There's kids getting out of school,
(20:34):
there's kids in the park at spring break. For a
lot of these kids this week, zero respect for the
value of life. That's what we're raising right now. And
that goes into another issue because a lot of these
kids that are getting shot are getting shot by kids.
And these kids are spending all of their time on YouTube,
on these games, talking to people in chat rooms. They're
(20:57):
getting zero education from the school system. They're getting pushed through.
They have parents that aren't around, and sometimes the parents
aren't around because they're also a problem, or they're not
around because it's so damn expensive to live in New
York to live in New York City that they have
to work eighty hours to one hundred hours a week.
(21:18):
They're not home they can't be with their kids, and
their kids are left of their own devices. We have
to get back to a place where we could be
with our children. The time that we spend with them,
I mean, they're literally you think about like a lifetime, right.
The time that you are a child is so short
over the grand scheme of things, the decades that you're
(21:39):
going to spend on this earth, and that time as
a child literally frames you for the rest of your life.
And it can make you a good person. It can
make you a bad person. It can make you a
person that you know is able to overcome, or it
can make you a person that says, I'm allowed to
do this because nobody's telling me I'm not, and you
have no accountability, and you end up being the guy
(22:00):
that pulls a gun out in Brooklyn at two o'clock
on a Wednesday, and then a seven month old is dead.
And that dovetails into my next story of the day.
There's public schools in Boston that are teaching children how
to protest. They have homemade signs they're hanging they had
(22:20):
they're walking around. It looks like a little tiny classroom
and they have paper signs sticking to like popsicle sticks
or something, bashing the president, teaching them to protest, and
they're marching around and screaming. And there's one little girl
by herself, just sitting at a table. And they're little.
I mean, these kids are probably seven or eight. This
(22:43):
is what they're doing with your children. So you're at
work and these kids are marching around what looks like
their library at their school, screaming against the president and
pretending to protest. All right, it's so upsetting. There's got
to be a spot where we can say, as parents,
that's enough. That's not a thing. We are not going
(23:05):
to have this. And let me tell you something, this
is a much bigger issue because as we look at
all of the other things that happen, as I just said,
if you are not a part of your children's lives,
if you are not a part of what they're seeing
every single day, and you don't tell them, hey, that's
not right. We don't need to protest. We don't need
(23:26):
to be out in the street. We don't need to
be causing trouble. We need to be focused on ourselves.
Put God back into your life, put your education first,
put your family first, get your kids off their phones
and their xboxes and their PS fives, And I know
it's hard. I got four kids. They all like all
those things. But when we sit down to dinner, we
(23:47):
don't have phones at the table. And if my husband's
working late, I make sure that's the day that I'm
at the dinner table alone with them. But I'm hearing
about their day. If they need me, they know they
can always get me. They always come first. There's never
going to be a time where I'm going to say
I can't do that, I can't be there for you. You're
going to have to figure that out on your own.
(24:07):
And even when my kids have had to do things
on their own per se, I'm still prepping them. I'm
still getting them ready. I'm still a part of whatever
is going on. My husband is the same way. But
there's a there really is a larger issue when you
get to a spot and you have your tax dollars
going there and they're protesting and they're seven and eight,
(24:33):
and it's funny, you know, I look at this Artemis
launched today, and you know, we're sending four astronauts to space,
and what is so stupid? And I maybe I'm alone
in this theory. But does it really matter that one
guy is black, that one person is a woman, that
(24:56):
one person's a Canadian? Does it matter? Is is there
a reason why we need to point out the race
and gender of the astronauts. Isn't it enough to just say, hey,
this is great, we're going back to the moon, and
we're excited and these astronauts are ready for this, and
we're going to cheer them on because this is history
(25:20):
and wonderful. Okay. But instead we're like, well, this woman,
she'll be this she's a woman of color, and this
is a black man, and then we have a Canadian
showing the shut up? Who gives us shit? Nobody cares.
I was just talking with my mom about this today.
I'm like, can't it just be we have four great astronauts. Well,
(25:41):
all of the previous astronauts that went to the moon
were white, most of the astronauts that have traveled in
space were white. What what does that matter? If you
are the right person for the job, you should get
the job. I mean, I almost feel like we have
to be like one of those singing shows. Can't remember
which show it is, but there's a show where like
(26:02):
they don't look at the person singing. They just hear
them and then they turn around and they hit the
button if they like whoever is singing, right, Like, that's
how it should be for your candidate. You shouldn't know
their race, you shouldn't know their background or whatever, and
just look at their resume. Are they a good fit, terrific?
Then you can bring them in for the interview and
(26:22):
see how they are in person. If they are terrible
in person, but you hire them anyway because they fulfill
some sort of quota, whether it be race or gender,
you are the problem. Stop doing that. It's really not
a fair way. Like, we work so much better as
a society, as a meritocracy. It's like when you see
(26:45):
people in Congress, like I look at this guy Meeks
or Al Green or Jasmine Crockett. They speak so it's
not even colloquial. It's almost like they dumbed down way
that they should speak. As a member of Congress, you're
clearly educated. You've made it this far. You're supposed to
(27:08):
be representing your community, and you're doing stupid music videos
in the halls of Congress. You're not showing up for
informational and advisory meetings for committees you belong on, and
then when you give testimony you get called out on
the carpet because they say, well, you don't know what's
going on because you don't show up for the meetings.
And they say, oh, you can't say that to me,
(27:29):
it's racist. What how is you not doing your job
and me saying you should do your job make me
a racist. I'm pretty sure it makes you and insubordinate.
I'm pretty sure it makes you not doing your job.
I'm just tired of being focused on all of the
wrong things and all of the things that don't make sense.
(27:53):
We have to get back to basics. There's got to
be some point where we have common sense. Additionally, if
we have illegal aliens constantly committing crimes, constantly killing innocent people, children, women,
why can't we have the common sense to remove them.
(28:15):
You have kids protesting the president because you're upset that
he wants to enforce DHS. ICE is already funded. You're
upset that he wants to have things on the up.
He wants voter integrity, he wants citizens in America to
be a part of the process and non citizens to
get out. Why is that a bad thing? How are
(28:37):
we supposed to survive if only a very small portion
of the country believes in what the country stood for,
believe in what the country stands for now and what
we hope to stand for in the future. If you're
looking to break us down, if you're looking to not assimilate,
if you're looking to be the problem, please go back
to whereever you came from. Go be a problem there.
(29:01):
We don't need it here. And while this podcast is
a mishmash of topics, they're all topics that bother many
of us every day. They may be stories you haven't
heard of, but each of them are relatable to something
that is unfinished and it's unaddressed in our society and
we need to just start talking about it or it's
never going to get fixed. We certainly can't leave it
(29:21):
up to Congress. They can't do shit. We got like
one senator holding the line there, and its Senator Mike Lee,
and we got like two or three members of Congress.
Everybody else is just in it for themselves. It's actually
super depressing to see people that I once thought were
like really good people and now we're finding out they
don't care either. We saw who went home this weekend.
(29:42):
We saw who went to Walt Disney World, we saw
who was on cruises, who was hanging out with celebrities.
It's not hard. It's actually very easy and very upsetting.
And I think what we're looking at now is it
is a time for choosing. It truly is. And even
my own governor here, you know, he's a Democrat here
(30:03):
in Pennsylvania, and he says, you know, common sense voter
id laws that you know the majority of Americans you know, support,
like the Save America Act. He says, we're going to
suppress the vote. Why does he not want just Americans
voting in Pennsylvania? Oh? I know, because you can't win
unless the legals vote and you can steal because everybody
(30:25):
hates you and knows you're a lying sack of shit.
So's Pritzker, so is Newsome, so is half of Congress.
You guys can't win unless you have fraudulent votes. Because
the American people have woken up and we're on to you.
I really hope they passed the Save Act, guys, I'm
telling you right now. If they don't pack the past
(30:47):
this Save Act, America as we know it is over,
completely over. And that is not an April Fol's joke.
This is Linda McLaughlin. You have been listening to the
Rogue Recap. Please check us out at road recap dot com,

Pray for our troops. See you tomorrow. Good night,
Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hot takes, cold facts and zero respect for the official narrative.
Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap rogue style.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What's up, guys, Welcome to the Rogue Recap. It is Wednesday,
April Fools Day, April first, and so far, no one
has pranked me today. I was waiting for it, you know.
I have four kids, and I thought, at some point
today I am definitely going to get prank. But no
such luck today. So pretty funny. If you're listening for
(00:37):
the first time, I am Linda McLachlin. Follow us Rogue
recap dot com, at Rogue Recap at Linda mick all
the things like us, subscribe, YadA YadA. So I love
April Fools Day. I think it's really funny. I remember
being a kid growing up and always thinking what could
I do on April fools that would trick my parents,
or trick my brothers, or trick a teacher whatever it
(01:00):
is right? But I was the worst because I'm a
terrible liar. I don't play poker or all the things right.
Like it's written all over my face. If I like you,
if I don't like you, if I'm sad. I'm happy
you're going to know because my eyebrows are going to
change and my face is going to make a smile
or a frown or whatever. It's never a secret. But
I was looking around today I was like, did anybody
(01:20):
have an April Fool's moment? And man, did I find
the funniest post. So there's a there's a professor and
he's in front of a classroom of students, and whoever
posted this wrote this professor has a policy that if
your phone rings in class, you have to answer it
on speakerphone, which, let's be honest, that would be super embarrassing.
(01:43):
So the students arranged to have a friend call in
on April's full stay and have a really really funny joke.
So I just thought this was a classic. I've never
seen anything like this before. And I'll tell you what
the person is saying. If it's hard to hear, the
is a little bit quiet, but just take a listen.
I think it's hysterical. Hello, yes, okay, you might you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, I'll call that later.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Thank hey, I want to probably.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's okay. I've been accepting this and I already know
what I'm gonna mean the baby, the first name will
be April and the middle name will be So.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
If you couldn't hear what happened, So again, he makes
them answer the phone and has to be on speakerphone,
so she answers the phone and the guy says, Hi,
this is so and so from the Pregnancy Research Center,
we want to thank you so much for being a
participant in our research. And actually, when we ran your
I guess whatever she gave blood or whatever, right, it's
(03:28):
a joke, doesn't matter, but we ran you know, your test.
The results came back positive, and we saw from the
notes that you said the father was no longer in
the picture. But so we have services to help you
through the process. And he goes to his whole litany
of things, and obviously the teachers mortify because he's like, okay,
this is the opposite. Like normally, it's just like if
(03:50):
your friend's calling you and you're like, sorry, i'm a class, bye,
i gotta go, or whatever, right, your mom, your dad,
your friend, your brother, But this is like this serious call,
and the teacher's like so upset. He's like, I'm very sorry.
This is obviously not a call that you know, I
intended for you to take in front of the whole class,
and blah blah blah, and he feels so bad and
he's apologizing to her, and then you know, she makes
(04:11):
a joke and says, well, I've already decided what to
name the baby, and it is April Fools. So I
thought it was really funny. At the end of it,
you can't hear it because the kids start clapping and
hooting and hollering, but he says, he goes, you know what,
that was an amazing prank and you're gonna get bonus
points for that. So definitely really funny. He had a
great sense of humor about it, and I just thought
it was the funniest thing. You know, I do this
(04:32):
thing every night. My husband always laughs at me because obviously,
working in news, I cover awful stories all day long
and it gives you literally like no faith in humanity. Right,
So at night what I do is I watch stories
about animals, you know, animals that are reunited, or you
know when military and our veterans come home and their
(04:55):
their dogs and you know, their pets freak out and
they're so happy to see them, or you know, Bay
and puppies, babies, and dogs, horses, you name it. I'm
watching it. And I was watching this video last night
and it was a it was a police dog, it
was a canine dog, big German shepherd. I'm very partial
to German shepherds. And this little baby kitten and I
(05:18):
mean baby like probably like four weeks old, maybe tiny, tiny, tiny,
and this little thing is just wants to be best
friends with this German shepherd, I mean all over it,
rolling around, palling on its face, and this God bless them,
this German shepherd is like, hey, what's up. Yep, We're good.
I'm just hanging let's her climb all over them, you know,
(05:39):
making the biscuits in the back of his fur and
just like, I mean really cute, you know, and I'm like, see,
that's the stuff that makes me happy. Or the dogs
that see like the toddlers when they start walking, right,
or babies when they first start walking, and then toddler's
when they're playing, you know, when they're two and three.
You'll see these dogs they're so protective, you know, they'll no,
(06:00):
that might not be a good spot for him to stand.
So I'm just gonna kind of curve up around the
back of them, or I'm going to stand kind of
close here, and they'll always protect that child. And I
had that same experience. You know, my dog Whinnie, he
just passed away in November, but my youngest son Liam,
I had him maybe a year after I had Winston,
and so it was so funny seeing Liam grow up
(06:24):
with Winston, and Winston just always by his side, so protective,
so sweet, and even when I was pregnant, I mean
when he was head on my belly, he would hear
him kicking in the womb and he would be like, oh,
you know what, the head bob that they do just
all the things, but those are those are the moments,
right that we hang on to because they're positive, they're happy,
(06:44):
and they get you through the day when you're watching
humanity just literally hang itself out to dry at every turn.
I mean, just it's insane. Even today, you know, we
had this birthright citizenship case in front of the court,
as I'm sure many of you know and followed, and
it is so upsetting to see the people standing out
(07:07):
front of the court screaming for birthright citizenship, wearing the
most disgusting shirts that say like fuck Trump, Fuck America,
give me my rights. I want the money. I'm an
illegal immigrant and I don't give a shit. You know,
dancing men dressing as women, you know, trans flags, just
all the things. It's to me, it's so interesting to
(07:29):
always see the same group of misfits, right they it's
like that whole joke of like here's your flag, Like
we'll just change your flag for whatever the thing is today.
And this Supreme Court hearing was no different. And obviously
we had a landmark moment because President Trump went to
the Supreme Court and sat in to hear oral arguments,
(07:52):
which has never been done. We've never had a sitting
president go to the Supreme Court and hear hearing, right,
so really interesting to to see him take such an
avid interest. And you know, the fourteenth Amendment of our
Constitution states that if you are born in this country,
you are a citizen. And it was explained to me
by someone who is, you know, a bit of a
(08:16):
bit of an expert in this topic, in a constitutional historian,
that this is one of those moments where that particular
amendment was meant to make sure that slaves were given
equal rights in America and to make sure that they
were considered one hundred percent of a person, and the
(08:38):
right to vote and all of these equality measures. It
wasn't to give people that were pregnant and got pregnant
on purpose, right, whether they're four higher people that cross
the border illegally give birth on our side of the
aisle and then say well, my child is legal, so
now I'm legal, right, or they're legal for a little while,
(08:58):
and then they go back to the country, but they
can come back or they can send for their parents
later on in life. It's this disgusting business. There's this
one Chinese businessman and he supposedly is the father to
over a hundred anchor babies that he literally just seated
these children so that they could be in the United
(09:19):
States and then they grow up here, they live here,
and then they come back and they work in China.
And there's this strange reciprocity that he's creating that's not real.
It's artificial, and they are working against the United States,
not for the United States, whether it's through trafficking fentanyl,
you know, trade secrets, you have it. Peter Schweizer actually
(09:42):
has a lot of information on this through the Government
Accountability Institute, and he's done a ton of deep dives
on this and testified before the Senate probably about two
or three weeks ago now, and Dick Durbin was like
at him, like, well, what are the statistics. If it's one,
it's too many. I think that's the thing that I
(10:03):
always get so upset about, like how many is enough
for you to give a shit?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
As we see all of these kids and women, as
I talk about so often being hurt, being robbed, being raped,
being murdered by illegal aliens, and it's never enough. They
don't care. We just had another high school or killed
in Chicago just this week. You don't hear anything from
Brandon Johnson. Brandon Johnson's out there screaming about illegal immigrant
(10:28):
rights and reparations. He's not talking about new security measures,
he's not talking about how we can protect people. None
of that is coming out. And in fact JB. Pritzker,
the governor of Illinois, at a clip from I guess
it was twenty twenty five, just resurfaced and it's him saying,
if you don't like how things are going here in Illinois,
(10:49):
you can move. That's your answer. Why isn't it Listen,
we want to find a pathway to citizenship, which I
also don't agree with, but at least it would be
a better answer. We want to find a pathway to
becoming a legal citizen for those people that are here.
They're working, who knows how they got here, but they're
not doing anything right now that's criminal, and so we
(11:12):
want to help them become legal so that they can
pay into the system, they can be a part of
the ecosystem that is Illinois and the United States, and
we can sort of put this whole your illegal thing
to bed in the interim. If you're here and you're
here illegally, and you're committing crimes and you're murdering people,
and you're a part of the problem, not the solution,
then yes, we are going to cooperate with ICE, we
(11:34):
are going to cooperate with DHS, and we're going to
say see you later. I don't know why this concept
is so offensive to so many Democrats, even regular Democrats, Right,
These are people that are misinformed, and they say, you know,
we go back to the Billie Eilish thing from I
forget which award show. She was on some music show.
Who cares, but she got up there and said, no
(11:56):
one's illegal on stolen land, and so people started showing
up at her house, which, by the way, as a reminder,
is built on a Native American you know, holy site
or something. So people were like, all right, well you
got to move because you're actually on stolen land, you're
on sacred ground, so maybe you should get to get
And then who's she calling the police? So again it's
(12:17):
just there's so much of this that you have to
say like, Okay, it's enough. This is ridiculous, and it's
the whole, you know, good for thee not for me thing. Anyways,
I digress. But happy moments, April Fool's good stuff, right,
those are the moments they get you through the Pritzkers
and the Brandon Johnson's. I wanted to hit some stories
today that haven't gotten a lot of attention. I stumbled
(12:40):
across them earlier this afternoon and I thought that's interesting.
And I don't remember reading this. I don't know if
you guys do, but back in I guess it was
the end of last year. People started talking about this
former Capitol police officer, Shawnie Kirkhoff, who seemed to match
this pipe bomb that they've been looking for for the
(13:01):
last you know, five to six years, and we shouldn't
say looking right. Our administration is looking I'm sure the
Biden administration probably paid them off, but that's neither here
nor there. Our administration under Trump is continuing to look
into what happened, you know, on January sixth. And what's
interesting is as we see all of these rogue judges
(13:24):
that are releasing criminals on the street. I did my
show on that last night. Remember what they did to
the j six people, people that were waved in by
Capitol police to come into the Capitol, right. They didn't
break things, they didn't storm the doors. The doors were
opened for them. The video clearly shows it. This is
not a secret. They were kept without due process, put
(13:45):
in jails for years. It took President Trump coming in
and to get them out. Tina Peters is still in jail.
Tina Peters is a gold star wife and mother, and
she's sitting in jail right now because she had the
audacity to ask questions about the twenty twenty election. And
(14:06):
I think a lot of people had questions about the
twenty twenty election. And what you'll notice is whether it
was COVID or the election, you weren't allowed to talk
about it, and if you asked questions, you were called
a conspiracy theorist, you were called a fascist, you were
called whatever you were called. But they weren't happy about it,
(14:26):
and they turned everybody against each other. They did exactly
what they wanted to do, which was divide and conquer,
and they did it. And we had all these Democrats saying,
if you don't get the COVID shot, you're the problem.
If you don't believe that the twenty twenty election was
completely and totally with the utmost integrity and there's no questions,
(14:47):
you're the problem. I'm like, are you the same assholes
who were talking about how all of these software, you know,
voting machines were going to enable people to steal and cheat?
I mean, we had senators like this might ring a bell,
Kamala Harris, right, I mean think about that, you know,
Senator Warren, Senator Wyden. They wrote a letter to the
(15:10):
administration saying, we don't want to use these machines because
we think the Republicans are gonna cheat. Then all of
a sudden they got really quiet. I wonder why, perhaps
because they figured out how to cheat, and so then
it didn't matter anymore. Because they're like, oh, we got
it rigged. We're good. That whole expression too big to
rig exists for a reason. But I'm down a rabbit hole.
So January sixth, there were these pipe bombs place and
(15:31):
they kept trying to figure out where it came from.
Who's the person that placed the pipe bombs? So this
report came out today. For what it's worth, I did
a little background and it appears that this is correct
that SHAWNE. Kerkhoff, who was a Capitol police officer on
January sixth, failed a November FBI polygraph test when she
(15:55):
was asked if she placed the pipe bombs on January fifth,
twenty twenty one. Now this is coming out into court filing,
so I'm going to read to you what it says.
You tell me what you think. Shawnie Kerkhoff was named
as a person of interests in the January fifth and sixth,
twenty twenty one pipe bomb investigation. Miss Kirkhoff was a
(16:16):
US Capitol Police officer on January sixth and was present
at the Capitol on that date. Miss Kerkhoff now works
for the Central Intelligence Agency. According to discovery produced by
the government in this case, the FBI began investigating, questioning,
and covertly surveilling Miss Kerkhoff during the time it began
(16:37):
investigating mister Cole. On November sixth, twenty twenty five, Miss
Kerkhoff was interviewed by the FBI and took a polygraph examination.
She was asked two relevant questions, Number one, did you
place those pipe bombs? And number two did you place
those pipe bombs? That evening Miss Kerkhoff fell the polygraph.
(17:01):
The FBI polygraph examer noted Kerkhoff's very controlled reaction to
the news of her failing the polygraph. How weird is that?
And you haven't heard it anywhere? I mean, this came
out today. People are talking about it today on X
and I'm like, I have never heard this before. I
(17:22):
don't know if I'm just asleep at the switch, but
if you're like me, I'm like, what this is actually
big news, Like we need to find out what this
woman knew and when she knew it. And they said
that her I guess a lot of the forensic observations
and investigations, she matches the person of interest. It's like
(17:44):
a ninety three percent match. I was like, Okay, there's
something truly off. Here. And I also think that if
we look at the clothing, and then you look at
the clothing that was shown on the person, it's like, man,
I really am struggling with why we're not looking at
(18:05):
this more. Yeah. A computer program that match the bomb
suspect's gate to that of Shawny Kirkoff produced a ninety
four percent match. And when you look at it and
then you watch her walk and you look at all
the videos and pictures they have of her, I'm like, yeah, Okay,
that's that. I mean, it's just strange. Right. We have
(18:25):
to sort of raise our eyebrows and go, all right,
that's a little weird. In any event, I think those
are things that definitely bear a little bit more investigation
and definitely a deeper dive into what we are trying
to discover about January sixth, because we are we're literally
(18:45):
still looking for answers. We don't have answers, and we're
told that if we try to ask questions that were
the problem. The second story that we didn't hear a
lot about today is that a seven month old baby
was shot to death in broad daylight in Brooklyn during
a random shooting. So the city and the state that
(19:06):
doesn't want you to have guns, doesn't want you to
have mace, doesn't want you to have a knife, has
people being thrown into subways, set on fire on subways,
and if you're a baby and a stroller, you can
be shot dead in broad daylight in Brooklyn. Are you
kidding me? This is what we have going on? And
imagine you're a mom walking your baby and your child
(19:28):
is shot. It's the same shit that's going on in
Chicago all the time. These places that have this lockdown
on guns typically have the most violence, and you have
people that are trying to protect themselves, regular people. Do
you know how hard it is to get a concealed
carry in states like New York? You need to have
over two thousand verified death threats in order to get
(19:51):
a concealed carry in a state like New York. Why,
I'm telling you I have a burn up by RNA.
If you don't have one, I strongly advise you to
get one. They're friends and they're great people, they run
a great company, and it is legal in all fifty states.
You do not need a permit and you can actually
protect yourself. This is the stuff that really frightens me
(20:13):
and you have to be able to protect and your
family for that matter. Like I don't know in this case.
I mean, if there's somebody riding away. They have a
shot of the guy with the gun in Brooklyn. He's
like on the back of a scooter. One guy's driving
and he's got his arm out with the gun. He's
just shooting. It's two o'clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday,
and he's just shooting. There's kids getting out of school,
(20:34):
there's kids in the park at spring break. For a
lot of these kids this week, zero respect for the
value of life. That's what we're raising right now. And
that goes into another issue because a lot of these
kids that are getting shot are getting shot by kids.
And these kids are spending all of their time on YouTube,
on these games, talking to people in chat rooms. They're
(20:57):
getting zero education from the school system. They're getting pushed through.
They have parents that aren't around, and sometimes the parents
aren't around because they're also a problem, or they're not
around because it's so damn expensive to live in New
York to live in New York City that they have
to work eighty hours to one hundred hours a week.
(21:18):
They're not home they can't be with their kids, and
their kids are left of their own devices. We have
to get back to a place where we could be
with our children. The time that we spend with them,
I mean, they're literally you think about like a lifetime, right.
The time that you are a child is so short
over the grand scheme of things, the decades that you're
(21:39):
going to spend on this earth, and that time as
a child literally frames you for the rest of your life.
And it can make you a good person. It can
make you a bad person. It can make you a
person that you know is able to overcome, or it
can make you a person that says, I'm allowed to
do this because nobody's telling me I'm not, and you
have no accountability, and you end up being the guy
(22:00):
that pulls a gun out in Brooklyn at two o'clock
on a Wednesday, and then a seven month old is dead.
And that dovetails into my next story of the day.
There's public schools in Boston that are teaching children how
to protest. They have homemade signs they're hanging they had
(22:20):
they're walking around. It looks like a little tiny classroom
and they have paper signs sticking to like popsicle sticks
or something, bashing the president, teaching them to protest, and
they're marching around and screaming. And there's one little girl
by herself, just sitting at a table. And they're little.
I mean, these kids are probably seven or eight. This
(22:43):
is what they're doing with your children. So you're at
work and these kids are marching around what looks like
their library at their school, screaming against the president and
pretending to protest. All right, it's so upsetting. There's got
to be a spot where we can say, as parents,
that's enough. That's not a thing. We are not going
(23:05):
to have this. And let me tell you something, this
is a much bigger issue because as we look at
all of the other things that happen, as I just said,
if you are not a part of your children's lives,
if you are not a part of what they're seeing
every single day, and you don't tell them, hey, that's
not right. We don't need to protest. We don't need
(23:26):
to be out in the street. We don't need to
be causing trouble. We need to be focused on ourselves.
Put God back into your life, put your education first,
put your family first, get your kids off their phones
and their xboxes and their PS fives, And I know
it's hard. I got four kids. They all like all
those things. But when we sit down to dinner, we
(23:47):
don't have phones at the table. And if my husband's
working late, I make sure that's the day that I'm
at the dinner table alone with them. But I'm hearing
about their day. If they need me, they know they
can always get me. They always come first. There's never
going to be a time where I'm going to say
I can't do that, I can't be there for you. You're
going to have to figure that out on your own.
(24:07):
And even when my kids have had to do things
on their own per se, I'm still prepping them. I'm
still getting them ready. I'm still a part of whatever
is going on. My husband is the same way. But
there's a there really is a larger issue when you
get to a spot and you have your tax dollars
going there and they're protesting and they're seven and eight,
(24:33):
and it's funny, you know, I look at this Artemis
launched today, and you know, we're sending four astronauts to space,
and what is so stupid? And I maybe I'm alone
in this theory. But does it really matter that one
guy is black, that one person is a woman, that
(24:56):
one person's a Canadian? Does it matter? Is is there
a reason why we need to point out the race
and gender of the astronauts. Isn't it enough to just say, hey,
this is great, we're going back to the moon, and
we're excited and these astronauts are ready for this, and
we're going to cheer them on because this is history
(25:20):
and wonderful. Okay. But instead we're like, well, this woman,
she'll be this she's a woman of color, and this
is a black man, and then we have a Canadian
showing the shut up? Who gives us shit? Nobody cares.
I was just talking with my mom about this today.
I'm like, can't it just be we have four great astronauts. Well,
(25:41):
all of the previous astronauts that went to the moon
were white, most of the astronauts that have traveled in
space were white. What what does that matter? If you
are the right person for the job, you should get
the job. I mean, I almost feel like we have
to be like one of those singing shows. Can't remember
which show it is, but there's a show where like
(26:02):
they don't look at the person singing. They just hear
them and then they turn around and they hit the
button if they like whoever is singing, right, Like, that's
how it should be for your candidate. You shouldn't know
their race, you shouldn't know their background or whatever, and
just look at their resume. Are they a good fit, terrific?
Then you can bring them in for the interview and
(26:22):
see how they are in person. If they are terrible
in person, but you hire them anyway because they fulfill
some sort of quota, whether it be race or gender,
you are the problem. Stop doing that. It's really not
a fair way. Like, we work so much better as
a society, as a meritocracy. It's like when you see
(26:45):
people in Congress, like I look at this guy Meeks
or Al Green or Jasmine Crockett. They speak so it's
not even colloquial. It's almost like they dumbed down way
that they should speak. As a member of Congress, you're
clearly educated. You've made it this far. You're supposed to
(27:08):
be representing your community, and you're doing stupid music videos
in the halls of Congress. You're not showing up for
informational and advisory meetings for committees you belong on, and
then when you give testimony you get called out on
the carpet because they say, well, you don't know what's
going on because you don't show up for the meetings.
And they say, oh, you can't say that to me,
(27:29):
it's racist. What how is you not doing your job
and me saying you should do your job make me
a racist. I'm pretty sure it makes you and insubordinate.
I'm pretty sure it makes you not doing your job.
I'm just tired of being focused on all of the
wrong things and all of the things that don't make sense.
(27:53):
We have to get back to basics. There's got to
be some point where we have common sense. Additionally, if
we have illegal aliens constantly committing crimes, constantly killing innocent people, children, women,
why can't we have the common sense to remove them.
(28:15):
You have kids protesting the president because you're upset that
he wants to enforce DHS. ICE is already funded. You're
upset that he wants to have things on the up.
He wants voter integrity, he wants citizens in America to
be a part of the process and non citizens to
get out. Why is that a bad thing? How are
(28:37):
we supposed to survive if only a very small portion
of the country believes in what the country stood for,
believe in what the country stands for now and what
we hope to stand for in the future. If you're
looking to break us down, if you're looking to not assimilate,
if you're looking to be the problem, please go back
to whereever you came from. Go be a problem there.
(29:01):
We don't need it here. And while this podcast is
a mishmash of topics, they're all topics that bother many
of us every day. They may be stories you haven't
heard of, but each of them are relatable to something
that is unfinished and it's unaddressed in our society and
we need to just start talking about it or it's
never going to get fixed. We certainly can't leave it
(29:21):
up to Congress. They can't do shit. We got like
one senator holding the line there, and its Senator Mike Lee,
and we got like two or three members of Congress.
Everybody else is just in it for themselves. It's actually
super depressing to see people that I once thought were
like really good people and now we're finding out they
don't care either. We saw who went home this weekend.
(29:42):
We saw who went to Walt Disney World, we saw
who was on cruises, who was hanging out with celebrities.
It's not hard. It's actually very easy and very upsetting.
And I think what we're looking at now is it
is a time for choosing. It truly is. And even
my own governor here, you know, he's a Democrat here
(30:03):
in Pennsylvania, and he says, you know, common sense voter
id laws that you know the majority of Americans you know, support,
like the Save America Act. He says, we're going to
suppress the vote. Why does he not want just Americans
voting in Pennsylvania? Oh? I know, because you can't win
unless the legals vote and you can steal because everybody
(30:25):
hates you and knows you're a lying sack of shit.
So's Pritzker, so is Newsome, so is half of Congress.
You guys can't win unless you have fraudulent votes. Because
the American people have woken up and we're on to you.
I really hope they passed the Save Act, guys, I'm
telling you right now. If they don't pack the past
(30:47):
this Save Act, America as we know it is over,
completely over. And that is not an April Fol's joke.
