Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up? And welcome. This is the Rogue Recab and
you are here with your host, Linda McLaughlin. She is pissed, off, outraged,
and has zero patience with what seems to be an
epidemic of entitlement and stupidity. Here we talk about all
the things the other shows just don't or won't touch.
(00:24):
Make sure to like and subscribe to our podcast so
you never miss an episode, and you.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Were definitely not gonna want to miss this episode. We
are going to take a little walk through what seems
to be the true epidemic that happened in the Biden administration.
And it had nothing to do with Joe Biden and
his weird touching and smelling and his strange mumbling and jumbling,
(00:50):
which we'll also get to, but it has to do
with the people around him.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
One of the people I despised the most in the
Biden White House was Ian Sam's and Ian SAMs gave
the most ridiculous testimony during depositions about Joe Biden's cognitive
abilities and so on and so forth. And supposedly he's
(01:16):
been in politics, he's been in you know, on Capitol
Hill and in presidential campaigns, and blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, fine,
but when he was working in the Biden administration as
a former spokesperson for the Biden Admin, and he handled
a lot of the social media and digital and such,
you know this guy, I mean, he was so pompous,
(01:40):
he was so ridiculous. He kind of reminded me of
like a weird drawing from that book Diary of a
Wimpy Kid. Like he was that guy. He was the
guy you were like, oh God, too bad. And now
he's working in the White House. He's drunk with power,
he thinks he matters. And then we see this deposition
as we've were recently getting all of this testimony because
(02:02):
a chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, Congressman
out of Kentucky, is giving us a bird's eye view
into what these depositions entailed and how these former admin
officials answer questions, which is so nice to see since
they did that to the Trump Admin and everybody else.
So long story short, there's this entire ridiculous effort by
(02:26):
these Admin officials to you know, lie, cheat, steal whatever,
and you know, I should say big borrow steal their
way to you know, some sort of immunity. Because now
people are saying, okay, so we have all of these
pardons and all these people granted immunity, and we're taking
a close look at the signatures and lo and behold,
(02:49):
they all match. So people are like, huh, it's kind
of weird that they match, you know, like why would
they match perfectly? Like that doesn't makes sense. And it's
not like they're a little bit of off. For there's
you know, one or two things that said no, they
are a perfect match. And so you layer all of
these signatures on top of each other and they are identical.
(03:13):
And I have to be honest, you know, most of
these types of investigations I really don't care too much
about because nobody ever goes to jail, nobody ever pays
the final price, nobody ever gets in trouble. So I'm like,
who gives a shit, right, But in this case, we
might actually see reversals in those things that we're given
approval and the final sign off to move forward, and
(03:36):
we might see reversals. So if that happens, I'm very interested,
and suddenly this becomes a very real thing. So I
want you to first hear Ian Sam's Now, this is
a guy who did endless TV hits. Okay, keep that
in the back of your mind. This guy was on
TV all the time. Like him and Joe Biden. We're
(03:58):
getting ice cream together, all right, Just keep that in
the back of your mind. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
How often would you say that you interacted with the
president in person?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I interacted with him pretty infrequently.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
So weekly, monthly, What what are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Very infrequent? I think I met with the president a
handful of times during my tenure.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
In light And let's just make a special note during
this deposition, he's not just listed as a spokesperson. He
is former special assistant to the president, so former special
assistant to the president, and he's seen him, maybe interacted
with him, maybe a handful of times. I'll continue.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I want to introduce the exhibit two as it's being
passed around. It's a thank you tweet from Alex Thompson
at at CEO, summarizing we pulled a couple of quotes
of us the interview you did it on MSNBC, and
one of the quotes says, when I deal with him,
he is sharp, him being President Biden, and he is
(05:04):
asking tough questions. Do you recall this?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
You got to say, that doesn't look anything like the
president that I know when I deal with him.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
He's sharp, he's asking tough questions.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
That's the President Biden that so many of us experience
every single day.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So, just to be clear, the lawyer that's doing the
deposition stops, and then in GOP oversight when they put
the video together, they interlay this interview that he did
with MSNBC so that you can clearly see that he's
a two phase liar.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So this statement, the basis for this statement was your
interactions somewhere between one and five times. Yes, okay, do
you think that's a bit misleading?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I think it was pretty direct and honest and said
that when I do deal with him, he's you know, charting,
he was asking incisive questions my meetings with them.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
But dealt with him five times in twenty four months.
That's not exactly a large scope of knowledge on how
he interacts with staff. You know, I think it's missing
some context. I don't do you think that statement suggests
that he deal with them more than he did.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I'm mean, I spoke about my own interactions with him.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
That's the President Biden that we experience every day.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
But to the best of your recollection, for meetings, two
were in person.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Two That were the two that I described to you
that I at the very onset in the oval. One
was a zoom where he was at Camp David, and
I was a participant in the meeting the phone call.
I think there was another meeting, but I or another engagement,
but I can't remember off the top of my head
what it was.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm sorry, No, that's OK. I'm just trying to get
a understanding. So the immunity decision was virtual within the
Camp David. There's a phone call regarding Hunter Biden's testimony. Yes,
an in person meeting regarding Hunter Biden's testimony, and one
other in person meeting.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
About special counsel.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Hurst has a special counsel.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
So two in person meetings, sure as at least that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, So he's on an MSNBC saying that Biden is
a thriving and insightful, engaged individual that he deals with
every day of the White House. Then when he's called
on the carpet under oath right where he could be
(07:39):
found guilty of lying under oath aka perjury and potentially
sent to prison, which, with any luck, he will be
sent to prison, because I have no doubt that he's
got hands on in this auto pen scandal. But he's
lying to the American people, right. He goes on to
the you know, the the mecca of you know, liberal
(08:01):
television on MSNBC, and he tells the viewers, Oh, yes,
I see him every day. My god, is he on point?
And then he has the audacity in depot to say, yeah,
I had about, you know, a handful of meetings with him,
two of which were not even in person. One was virtual,
(08:23):
one was a phone call. He's got one other one
he can't remember, and then two in person meetings. One
of those in person meetings, if you listen to the
way that he describes the meeting, he says, yes, I
was a member of that meeting. It wasn't even a
one on one. It's not even like he was like
one of two or three people. He was in some
big room probably, or if he was in the oval,
(08:45):
he was in there with a bunch of other people.
It's just a lie. This is the stuff, right, So
An Sam's disgusting liar, just ridiculous. And then we take
this this add that the GOP Overside Committee put together,
and it has many members of the Biden Whitehouse administration,
(09:09):
and these guys are sitting there in deposition and they
are lying, and the problem is there are moments where
they have to tell the truth, right, So it's very tricky.
And then GOP very cleverly, whoever did this video, kudos
to you. They overlaid their answers and it is just
(09:31):
as uh, just as seamless as the autopen signatures. It's ridiculous.
So I'm going to play this cut for you. It's
about two minutes, but it's worth it. And I've been
sharing this with everybody I know, and I'm going to
tell you who each person is that's speaking, so you
can understand the gravity of what we're dealing with. These
(09:52):
are not people that came in every once in a while.
These were people that were with the president every single day.
And the frightening part is they probably had their hands
on decisions that were affecting you and me and our
families and our kids and their kids and their families
and you know, our friends at just a hot mess
(10:13):
and they don't care. All they care about now is
getting out alive. They don't want to get in trouble.
So we'll play a little bit of this. I'll pause
it and tell you who's talking as we go.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
His rhetorical skills were not as strong as they had been,
and his speeches were less effective.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I thought we talked about So that was Ron Klain,
former White House Chief of Staff. Okay, so think about
that ron Klain, former White House chief of Staff. This
guy has been around the block. This is a Clinton guy.
He worked with Obama. He has been in the White
(10:48):
House for a very long time. I have no doubt
he knows where all the bodies are buried. But so
this is who we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Talked about age.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
We knew it was an issue, and we tried to
design a strategy.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So that was Stephen Ricchetti, whose former counselor to the president.
He says, yes, we're talking about age. We know it
was a problem, so you know, we're just strategizing. Okay,
that's helpful. This next person you're going to hear is
in needed done. I needed done is a super deep state,
hard heart left liberal and she's a former senior advisor
(11:23):
to the Communications for communications to the President. But this
is another Clinton knite, another Obama knit.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
We had a discussion at the senior advisor level about
whether the president should have a cognitivit Sam flashback.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Now to the legacy media's complete denial of the president's
cognitive decline.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and few if.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
You can't handle the truth. This version of Biden is
the best Biden ever.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Okay, can we just address that hack that's Joe Scarborough.
This guy is so absurd, it's actually it's painful. He
does a morning show with his wife Mika Brazinski, also
a hack, Also very painful. They just lie. I would
love so much to just listen to a show i e.
(12:16):
The roguerycap but all getting aside. Just somebody who's just
talking about what it is you are lying. Stop. It's
so frustrating to work in politics, to work in White
House administration coverage, to talk about these various leaders and
representatives who have roles in the upper echelons of our
governing bodies. They don't give a shit about people. They
(12:40):
just care about themselves. It's a real problem.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
His mental acuity is great.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Chuck Schumer, Yeah, Chuck don't give a about anybody, So
we'll leave that there.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It's fine. It's as good as it's been over the years.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He is sharp. He is on top KJP. So KJP
is definitely the front runner for maybe one of the
dumbest people to ever set forth in the White House.
kJ P literally read what was on the paper. She
has no knowledge, she has absolutely no wherewithal of what
they were feeding her. She's just like, yup, hmm, I'm here,
(13:13):
I'm gonna read what's on this paper, and we're gonna
keep it moving and don't ask me questions. The things
that she would say was it was, it was. It
was embarrassing, Like when she talked about Northstream too, and
she was like Nordstrum, I'm like, hmm, that is a
store in a mall. Yeah, I mean it's frightening, right,
(13:33):
just frightening stuff. He is on top of things. Do
you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity?
This is Elizabeth Warren coming up next, or a you
know aka Pocahontas.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
A mental acuity.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
He had a sharpness to him.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I said what I believe to be true, and you
think he was as sharp as you?
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I said, I had not, seem to cline.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
So think about this, think about semantics of what she's saying.
I said what I believed to be true, not what
is true. Not Yeah, I said that, but looking back
on that, that was utter nonsense. It's the same thing
as when KGP would say things like, you know, sometimes
I just can't keep up with Biden. I'm like, please stop.
You're in your thirties, he's in his eighties. He already
(14:20):
walks with a shuffle in a limp, like that's stupid.
Don't say that. Don't say things that are so obviously
bogus that everything else you say is now tainted by
that version of what you consider to be the truth,
because your version of truth aka is not truth. So stop.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
And I hadn't.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
He is just fine. How people interpret that is up
to them. Oh yeah, there's General Millis.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Watching the testimony of this woman here, Annie Thomas Sor.
She's the former senior advisor at the President Joe Biden.
She was the third person set to appear before James
Commerce Committee. She has now taken the FI. There is
now a pattern of Kate Biden confidant seeking the shield
themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Were you ever told to lie about the President's health.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
The advicey Council, I mist respectfully declined to answer based
upon the physician patient privilege and in reliance on my
right under the Fifth Amend of the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So this is doctor Kevin O'Connor. This guy is the
former doctor to the president. Clearly knows that he was
sold a bag of tricks on the fact that he
wouldn't be held culpable, and now he's selling us a
bag of trips on the fact that we all know
that Biden was falling down, falling over wearing a diaper,
(15:40):
had no idea who he was or where he was
most of the time. And instead of being honest and
being like, listen, so and so threatened me, so and
so paid me off, so and so did you know whatever,
they can't They just can't be honest.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Let the record reflect that doctor O'Connor has invoked the
Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination, honored, Did you ever
believe the president was unfit to execute his duties as president?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
And we can tell you that he will have the
same answer with respect to any questions that are asked.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Did any unelected official or family member of President Joe
Biden execute the duties of the presidents. Did Joe Biden,
a member of his family, or anyone at the White
House ever instruct you to lie regarding his health on.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The advice and counsel.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I respect his and trying to answer the questions and
seeing to my fifth and then I dret this kind
of a pastituation.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
And at that one. So you just heard three different members.
One was Thomasini, one was Kevin O'Connor, you know, but
they all just kept invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid
self incrimination. You know, if you don't lie, if you
don't lie to yourself, if you don't lie to your family,
(16:51):
if you don't lie to the American people, you don't
have to plead the Fifth. You don't. There are moments
when pleating the fifth makes sense. But the issue is
that these Biden people have been lying for so long.
That is all they know. It's all they know. And
I'll tell you what, guys, Let's take a listen to Biden,
and you tell me how hard it is the average
(17:14):
bear to discern if this guy has all of his
mental faculties about him. Okay, we're just gonna listen to
a couple eclips.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
You know, and represented the moment we walked away from
how this country was built, when we got into the
trickle down.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Its terris what that's not even the worst of them.
We've all heard far worse. He's saying words. They're not
in any particular order. They're not there to make sense.
They barely make sense to him. He looks confused. I mean,
it's really elder abuse.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You see President Trump right now. I have friends that
work in the White House and they're with him on
this Asia diplomacy tour. They can't keep up. They actually
can't keep up. The man sleeps like four hours maybe
a night.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
He doesn't drink, he doesn't take drugs, he doesn't do
anything like that. He is just built for speed and work.
And let me tell you something, he does it, and
he'll be damned if he's going to wait for you.
If you can't keep up, get out, be on your way,
because this is the speed of the White House. This
is the speed of progress. This is the speed of
getting things done, making negotiations and saving nations all over
(18:32):
the world that can then lend their hands to benefit
the United States of America. But see, this is what
you get from a businessman, which you know, we haven't
had in the White House in quite a while. We
had the community Organizer, we had the Senior citizen. Before that,
we had Hillary Clinton, who is just bitter and angry
and old. And then you know, before that was George Bush,
(18:56):
who I also wasn't.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
A fan of.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You know, it's just with we've had such a legacy
of career politicians who just wanted to put their name
on the wall and could have given a shit less
about helping the American people. Now we have somebody who,
you know, one thing that never gets any credit. He
donates his presidential salary, he doesn't take one. All the
(19:19):
work he's doing in the White House paying for it
out of pocket, private donations and his own funding. All
the other work ever done, all taken off the backs
of the taxpayers. I mean, these are the things they
get no coverage. So you got all these liberals walking
around pissed off. What are they pissed off about? They
don't even know because they're being lied to. I'll close
(19:40):
tonight with this one ad. This to me was quintessential Biden.
It's from the RNC. They made it in I think
twenty twenty two, and it really just encapsulates the entire
term of Joe.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Bidenitical coverage fit look some of the political players and
some of the let me ask a rhetorical questions.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, anyways, you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Know what's sad about that? At least with him, I
can say, always having strokes or tias or dementia or
Wolzheimer's whatever it is. What was Kamala Harris's excuse. It's
just stupid, I mean, actually stupid. That's what's frightening. These
people were in charge of the nuclear codes. I'm like,
dear Lord, have mercy. Absolutely ridiculous. And then we have
(20:49):
you know, Trump now back in office, thank God, and
he's just like, yeah, we're just gonna get shit done.
If you're not here for that, you could see yourself out. Thanks,
thanks for playing. God bless him. I don't know how
he does what he does, but I think with regard
to this, this has been really great work by the
House Oversight Committee and Mike Howe's group, which is the
(21:10):
Oversight Project. Just praying for these guys that they're able
to do what they can do, and that Pam Bondy
and hard Meat Dylan and Leo Terrell can make things
happen over the Department of Justice and get shit turned around,
because I would love to see all of these people
with fake pardons, fake immunity and all these auto pen
you know gradis, you know, handouts from an administration who
(21:35):
just didn't care. It would be so great to see
those reversals. I'll keep you up. This is the Rogue Recap.
I am Lynda McLaughlin. Please follow us at Lindamick at
Rogue Recap. Everybody be safe out there. We'll see you
next time.
