There's been a lot of talk about the federalization of DC. But who's really upset and pissed off? Turns out it's a bunch of "old, white hippies." (Thank you, Stephen Miller.) And he's right. In this episode, we will play audio of many residents of the DC Metro area, and they are all black and grateful for the additional policing and protection. The stupid, paid activists are not winning this war, not by a long shot. Turns out people like to go out and not need to step over crack addicts and homeless to get into their houses at night with their children.

This is the Rogue Recap with Linda McLaughlin. She's unfiltered, unforgiving,
and understandably annoyed by everyone. Make sure you like and

Rogue Recap.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey guys, welcome back to the Rogue Recap. It is
uh what is today? Today is Tuesday. It's pouring rain
here and definitely starting to feel like school is back
in session. I remember that when I was a kid
in the weather, he used to get colder, like at
the end of the summer, and I'd be super sacked.
I was like, it's over, We're going back. I mean,
I was a nerd. I like school, but still I
(00:39):
hate it going back. And now I got four kids,
two of them in college and two going back to
school next week and the week after, so we're in
full school mode here at my house. And I have
to say, you know, I was looking at all the
things that are happening in DC and a lot of
these people taking their kids back to school and going
to work and walking around and they don't have to
(01:00):
walk over homeless people and drug addicts and needles and
you know, feces and urine all over their streets, and
then you got these lunatics that are protesting and saying
that it's you know, it's Nazis, it's Hitler, it's it's
a takeover because of the fact that President Trump is
federalizing control of the city. Now here's what's interesting about this,
(01:24):
right some of you may have heard of this woman, Anagiratelli.
She is a Washington Examiner Department of Homeland Security reporter.
She was sexually assaulted in twenty twenty and talked about
how her assault was not even entered into the records
because they manipulate the statistical data of the crime in DC.
(01:46):
And the former police chief is now an administrative leave
as they look into this manipulation. The Department of Justice
is finally taking it upon themselves to figure out what
the hell is going on. But all of the local
people that live in the DC metro and if any
of you have ever been to our nation's capital, you know,
you walk through Union Station, it's just it's terrible. It's
(02:08):
tons of drug addicts, homeless people. It smells terrible. You
literally cannot go five feet without walking over someone or
bumping into someone, or having someone to you know, come
up and beg from you, and then you go outside
and it's no better. Their homeless encampments are everywhere. They're
all over, you know, the National Mall. It's it's really,
first of all, it's sad, right because a lot of
(02:30):
these people that are homeless have mental illness, so they're outside.
They have no place to go because of the fact
that they are struggling. They're struggling with mental illness. And
we've closed down a lot of those facilities because Democrat
administrations like to take all of our tax dollars and
allocate them to foreign invaders and illegal immigrants instead of
(02:50):
giving them to our veterans with post traumatic stress disorder
or to people who have struggled their whole life with
mental health, whether it's bipolari schizophrenia, and now they're out
on the sh streets because they actually can't find work
because they are not of sound mind. They should be
an assistant living, they should be in a mental institution.
They should be taking some sort of you know, medicine
(03:11):
so that they could regulate their various their various issues.
It's just it's just sad, and it just goes back
to like the main issue, right, like if we don't
start taking care of our own, from our veterans, to
our homeless, to our women and children, to our elderly,
we are going to lose our country. And if you
look around and you see people defending Sharia law, Islamic
(03:32):
centers and illegal immigrants and they want to attack ICE officers,
we have people within Congress that are docksing ICE officers
and telling you where they're going to be and hide
from them. You know, this is it's just beyond the pale.
If you don't want to be here and you don't
want to live the way that we live, and you
don't want to adhere to our laws, that's fine. No
(03:54):
one's keeping you here. I promise you don't let the
door hit you on the way, you know, in the
ass on the way out. Oh now, please immediately. This
is a massive issue that we have in the United
States of America. And to that point, the President even
said today he's having various people go into the museums
and the Smithsonian, et cetera, and looking around to see
(04:16):
what they're teaching our kids when they go on these
school trips to these various you know, establishments that get
all this taxpayer funding and they're in there just bashing
the history of America. This is the greatest country in
the world, you know, and this whole idea of like
we're a melting pot, We're not really a melting pot.
We're like a bunch of melting pots kind of sitting
next to each other, and sometimes we're mingle and sometimes
(04:37):
we don't, and we're kind of doing our best. But
we are definitely the nation in the world that has
really given the most freedom to its people and done
its best to not sort of control the people beyond
what we consider to be a defensible manner. Right. We're
not trying to tell people how to live their lives
in their home. We want you to do the right thing.
(04:59):
Don't her puppies, don't hurt babies, you know, if you
want to celebrate your culture in your house. But we
don't need the call to prayer five times a day
like they're doing in different places in Michigan and Minnesota
and Texas right now. That's not what America is about.
We're a Judeo Christian nation. We want you to live
and prosper. We want you to build businesses, be an
entrepreneurial work for an entrepreneur, work for a great company,
(05:21):
become a tradesman, all the things. But this whole idea
of I'm going to come to America, I'm going to
live off the dole. And that's what America is all about.
You know, the money is just falling from the trees.
It's actually not falling from the trees. It's off of
the backs of people like myself, my husband and our
families who put in, you know, fifteen twenty hour days
(05:42):
doing various jobs trying to make the rent work. And
things are ridiculously expensive, whether it's health insurance or the
subways or a track or your highway costs. You know,
all these things are increasing. And why is it increasing
Because we're taking care of too many peace people who
are just depleting the system. They don't put anything in.
(06:05):
They take, they take, they take. And finally we have
a president who's like, hey, I have a new idea.
If you're on government benefits, if you're on welfare, food stamps,
assistance of any kind, and you are of you know,
sound body and mind, how about you earn a little
bit of what you're taking. How about that? You know,
there's nothing I love to see more than no ebt
(06:28):
on all of the fancy coffees, the expensive soft drinks,
the snacks that are no good for you, and then
things that are covered that are good for you, you know,
sort of like the staples of life, eggs, bread, milk,
cereal for your kids, et cetera. These are the things
that should be covered by food stamps. And it's so
great to finally see somebody saying, yeah, that's actually not
(06:51):
covered and we're not going to do that for you.
I can't even tell you how happy it makes me.
And all these people they're losing their minds. I mean
they're absolutely out of their minds and they're like, what
do you mean I have to work for the money
that the government's giving me. I don't know, that's what
the rest of us do. Where do you think the
money that you're getting comes from? I mean, really that
(07:12):
this is the thing that drives me. Banana is the
most I want you to take a listen to this woman.
She's on government assistance. She gets the maximum allowable amount.
She has three children, and she is baffled by the
fact that she has to allocate some of her time
to actually giving a little back for all that she gets.
Just take a listen.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Can someone please help me make sense of this. I've
been receiving food stamps for the last seven years consistently.
I just receive a letter in the mail telling me
that I now have to do community service hours at
least at least fifteen hours a week. I have to
(07:56):
take out of my time things that I do every
day to do community service so that I can still
continue to receive the benefits that I receive. Mind you,
I am receiving the maximum benefit. I get two thousand
dollars in food stamps a month, but that is only
because I have three kids. Now, how do they expect
(08:19):
me to be able to do community service hours if
I can't even get a regular job. So I'm at
risk of losing my food Stap benefits because I'm not
putting an effort.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Are you serious? Yes, we're serious. Here's a novel idea.
Why don't you try working like the rest of us.
This whole idea of I can't find a job. How
can you not find a job? I mean, honestly, you
cannot go within even a few feet without finding a
help wanted sign. Everybody's hiring. Everyone is hiring, and if
(08:57):
you are unable to find a job. Well, then you
are the problem. Maybe you need to look at yourself.
Maybe you need to do something that you weren't intending
on doing so that you could pay your bills. And
I can't tell you how many times I've had this
conversation with people who were on benefits and I'm like,
so get a part time job at least, and I
get the same thing. Well, I can't take too much
(09:18):
because then I won't be able to get my benefits.
What this is, This is the concept we don't want
to make too much money because we don't want them
to take away our money. It's not your money, that's
taxpayer dollars. You know, there's a movie called The Cinderella
Man with Russell Crowe. It's really old. It's one of
(09:40):
my favorites. I absolutely love it. And he does this,
you know, it shows you know, that was right around
the nineteen twenty nine stock market crash. And he's a boxer.
He lost all his money in the stock market and
he's in really bad shape. So, long story short, he
goes to government assistance. He's standing on the line and
(10:00):
he's got to get government assistants because he can't get work.
And the woman who gives him the money was like, oh,
I can't believe you're here and chastises him, which really
is that what he needed at that moment. But anyways,
fast forward in the movie. You know, he's back in
the black things are doing good and he takes the
money back and the government assistance worker, who like made
(10:20):
fun of him, was like, what are you doing here?
And he's like, I believe I live in the greatest
country in the world. Who will help a man when
he's down, And I'm here to repay the favor. That's
the concept. The concept is not cradle to grave, be
on the dole. The concept is, uh, oh I've hit
a rough patch. I need a little help, you know.
I personally feel blessed that as hard as my upbringing was,
(10:43):
and as hard as my mom worked and did everything
she did, God bless her for us, we never took
government assistance. At our lowest of low my mom was like,
I can do it. I can work. She was working
two three jobs, working around the clock, never sleeping. I
started babysitting when I was ten. I started and I
got my part time working papers I think when I
was thirteen or fourteen, sorry, working in the stores, go
(11:05):
to school all day, work all night, do your homework.
You know, that's a work ethic that you have to
be brought up with. You have to teach your kids.
You know, life is hard, but if you work hard,
you'll be rewarded and you'll be able to live a
life where when you take those breaks and you take
those moments, you're happy. And that seems to be lost
on you know, a lot of these generations, especially the
(11:26):
boomer generation. You know, these protesters that are down there
screaming at President Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense
Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller. You know, they're going to
you know, they're in the Capitol and they're you know,
they're welcoming the National Guard and they're thanking them for
their assistance and they're thanking them for their time. And
(11:49):
there's these hecklers screaming, I mean literally screaming at them
because they're mad that they're there. Meanwhile, the hecklers are
all old white people. The DC Metro is almost I
think it's like eighty five or ninety percent black. Who
are you to talk about the DC Metro community and
(12:10):
the crime and the trauma that they face every day,
just trying to go about their day. Where do you live?
And that's the problem. You talk to them where you're from.
This one's from Markansas, This one's from Colorado, This one's
from California, This one's from New York. None of these
people are local. They don't know what it's like to
live in these communities. It's absolutely incredible. I will say,
(12:32):
you know, Stephen Miller, he roasted them and it was
very well done.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
First of all, thank you're the Vice president for bringing
us here today. Thank you Secretary for your leadership, and
most importantly, think you hear the men and women of
the National Guard. Here's the most important point. There are
residents who lived in Washington, d C. Their entire lives.
Their parents lived here, their grandparents lived here, and they
(12:55):
have lived for generations in intolerable conditions of I'm in decay.
There are parts of the city I moved to the
city twenty years ago. There are places where I've seen
graffiti that has been untouched for two decades. There are
homeless encampments that have made it impossible for families to
use public parks and public recreation for as long as
(13:17):
I've lived here. There are hundreds of residents of this
city who are shot in street violence every single year,
making it among the most violent cities on planet Earth.
And for too long, ninety nine percent of this city
has been terrorized by one percent.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Of the city.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And the voices that you hear out there, those crazy communists,
they have no roots, they have no connections to the city.
They have no families they are raising this city. They
have no one that they are sending to school in
this city, they have no jobs in the city, they
have no connections to this community at all. But they're
the ones who've been advocating for the one percent, the criminals,
the killers, the rapists, the dealers. And I'm glad they're
(14:01):
here today because me, Pete and the Vice President are
all gonna leave here and inspired by them, we're gonna
add thousands more resources to this city to get the
criminals and the gang members out of here. We're gonna
disamandle those networks, and we're gonna prove that a city
can serve for the law abiding citizens who live there.
We are not gonna let the communists destroy a great
(14:23):
American city, let alone the nation's capital. And let's just
also adds another thing, all these demonstrators that you've seen
out here in recent days, all of these elderly white hippies,
they're not part of the city and never happen. And
by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington,
d C. Are black. This is not a city that
has had any safety for its black citizens for generations.
(14:49):
And President Trump is the one who is fixing that
with the support in the Metropolitan Police Department to support
the National Guard and our federal law enforcement officers.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Ignore these stupid white hips that all need to go
home and take a nap because they're all over ninety
years old, and we're going to get back to the
business of protecting the American people and the citizens of
Washington disiasm.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Thank you, Steven, A few questions. I absolutely love this.
I love that someone finally called them on their bullshit
because it's so true. You know, there are protests all
around where I live because I live in kind of
a purple area, and the most recent protest, my husband
and I noted that that every single person in this
(15:32):
damn protest had to be sixty five plus. I'm like,
did they just go to every fifty five and over
living community and say, hey, you want to make a
hundred bucks for the day, hold this sign and yell
stupid things. They were like, all right, I wasn't doing
anything anyway. I mean, it is the most bizarre thing
in the world. And they're really toxic. They're nasty, they're mean.
(15:53):
I don't know. I don't actually know if they're all
like triggered, if they if they're giving them some sort
of medicine before they go out and they protest, that's like,
you know, here's your extra mean pill. I mean, they're
just so nasty. They get in the way and they're screaming.
They're screaming at anybody that they can. They're mad at everybody,
and there's no rhyme or reason to it whatsoever. I'm like,
(16:14):
what are you doing here? Are you saying that you
want more crime? Are you saying that you feel that
this is wrong? They're not going in around and you know,
the National Guard's not patrolling the street saying hey, what
are you texting right now? You know this isn't like
Big Brother nineteen eighty four McCarthyism. This is oh hey, uh,
(16:35):
you five guys attacking a grandma trying to cross the
street and take her purse from her, and she can't
defend herself because you guys are all fourteen years old
and your juvenile delinquents, because you probably have a bad
home life, which is a whole other show in and
of itself. That's the real issue. That's that's who they're
going after. They're going after illegal immigrants, they're going after
(16:57):
career criminals, and they're going after peopleople that are attacking
those who cannot protect themselves. And the Metro Police Department
of DC under Muriel Bowser has done a pretty terrible job.
And now they got their police chief. I mean, you
look at their police chief, you look at their you know,
head of police, you look at their you know, internal
(17:19):
organizers of the police department that are supposed to be
you know the thing, I forget what it's called when
they investigate one another. But it's like all of these
people that are supposed to be corralling and supporting each
other and the city are like one big DEI project.
I'm like, where'd you guys come from? What did you
do before you did this? Because you are really messing
this up. And it's like, instead of swallowing your pride,
(17:42):
and saying, you know, there's babies getting shot. I was
talking about this today with a friend and we were
looking at this little one year old that was shot.
She's still in the hospital in a coma. She's a baby,
a one year old little baby. Yes, she's black, she's
a black little baby. Where are all the people there?
Where's BLM? Now you don't care about her, she doesn't matter.
(18:05):
You're not going to march in the street for that
little soul and pray that she pulls through. Oh no,
that doesn't work for the mantra. Right, we need a
bunch of double white people standing around talking trash about
a city they don't live in, an issue they don't
care about, and just getting their pay to play for
that moment. I mean, what a crock of shit. It's infuriating.
So I thought I would get a few pieces of
(18:25):
audio of people that actually live in DC. Every one
of these people is black. Every one of these people
is talking about how they live in the metro and
they will express to you how they're feeling about what
is happening. I think it's a good thing because, you
know what I'm saying, it's better for the community and
safer for the kids.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Stop the violence.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You know what I'm saying, us and not slugs.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
I enjoy having extra security.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I mean, you want to feel safe when you're out
and about, especially females.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It's a good thing because it actually reinforces the fact
that America is secure, safe, stable.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Elliot Rea says he supports the federal involvement.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
As a moderate. As a centrist, I think something needs
to be done. I have three kids, I'm about to
start teaching next week. I wanted to be saved.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Do you not understand that this is what the residents want.
I'm not talking about the bougie upper Echelon's bougie blacks.
I'm talking about the everyday grandmas that have to deal
with these homeless people peeing and pooping on their steps
and then they have to clean it up. They don't
feel safe when they walk into their neighborhood. The gangs
(19:32):
and the drug the dope boys are just standing around
the corner, you know, like, do you not understand this
is what they want? I remember working with the community
leader and somebody had just gotten shot. This is like
five years ago, and I remember her praying and she
said Crystal, We're gonna have to invoke the National Guard,
(19:54):
And that was so foreign to me.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Now I understand the shit. These people are helpless.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
And I'm not talking about the boo she black people
that live in their gated communities with their new bills.
I'm talking about the everyday grandmothers, and I'm so glad
that President Trump cares about them.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Isn't that funny to hear from people that actually live there,
that are telling you, you know, I'm a moderate, I'm
a centrist. You know, I'm just out and about trying
to live my life. And they're being very, very honest
about the fact that they're happy about what President Trump
is doing. They're grateful that somebody finally took notice and said,
(20:31):
instead of just saying we can do something and not
actually being able to do something, how about we do
something because we can. That's what the National Guard is for.
The National Guard is to protect and guard our national treasures.
What's more important than our people. That's what they're there for.
(20:53):
We need them. We need them now more than ever,
I'll tell you that much. And I think it's absolutely
incredible that we were able to get to a spot
where we could honestly and truthfully bring people in to
protect those people who actually live in Washington, d C.
And God bless Stephen Miller for calling it out like
it is, because it is a load of shit to
(21:14):
say that this is some sort of federal takeover and
it's the oppression of the people. It's actually the exact opposite.
And we need to find answers for all those homeless encampments,
all those people that lived in those encampments. We need
to find answers. We need to find facilities and resources
to get those folks back back on their feet. We
(21:36):
want to help them be productive members of society. We
want to help them stop taking and leeching off of
the government or turning to the absolute worst resort, which
is living in the cold on the streets. It's cold
in DC in the winter. That's what these people should
be out there protesting about. Maybe stop holding your sign,
get your hands dirty, go volunteer at a homeless shelter.
(21:58):
To go volunteer and help these people out doing the cleanup.
Get into the weeds. If you really want to know
what's going on, go there and find out. You're screaming
and crying about a bunch of nonsense, because the people
that live there are grateful, So why don't you go
back home, like this woman just said, to your bougie
gated community and shut up. Do us all a favorite. Please?
(22:20):
This has been the Roague Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin.
Thank you as always for being here. Please follow us
at Linda Mick at the Rogue Recap. Actually it's at
Roague Recap. I keep saying that, but it's at Rogue Recap.
We will be back tomorrow with more news. I think
tomorrow I'm going to do an expose on our communist
Congress people. We have so many of them, and most
(22:40):
of them are from other countries. I don't even think
they should be allowed to be in Congress. And I
definitely don't think anybody should be in Congress that trashes
America and says they love their home country more than
they love America. So we'll do a whole show on
that tomorrow. Stay safe, everybody, have a good night. We'll
see then

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey guys, welcome back to the Rogue Recap. It is
uh what is today? Today is Tuesday. It's pouring rain
here and definitely starting to feel like school is back
in session. I remember that when I was a kid
in the weather, he used to get colder, like at
the end of the summer, and I'd be super sacked.
I was like, it's over, We're going back. I mean,
I was a nerd. I like school, but still I
(00:39):
hate it going back. And now I got four kids,
two of them in college and two going back to
school next week and the week after, so we're in
full school mode here at my house. And I have
to say, you know, I was looking at all the
things that are happening in DC and a lot of
these people taking their kids back to school and going
to work and walking around and they don't have to
(01:00):
walk over homeless people and drug addicts and needles and
you know, feces and urine all over their streets, and
then you got these lunatics that are protesting and saying
that it's you know, it's Nazis, it's Hitler, it's it's
a takeover because of the fact that President Trump is
federalizing control of the city. Now here's what's interesting about this,
(01:24):
right some of you may have heard of this woman, Anagiratelli.
She is a Washington Examiner Department of Homeland Security reporter.
She was sexually assaulted in twenty twenty and talked about
how her assault was not even entered into the records
because they manipulate the statistical data of the crime in DC.
(01:46):
And the former police chief is now an administrative leave
as they look into this manipulation. The Department of Justice

people that live in the DC metro and if any
of you have ever been to our nation's capital, you know,
you walk through Union Station, it's just it's terrible. It's
(02:08):
tons of drug addicts, homeless people. It smells terrible. You
literally cannot go five feet without walking over someone or

They have no place to go because of the fact
that they are struggling. They're struggling with mental illness. And
we've closed down a lot of those facilities because Democrat
administrations like to take all of our tax dollars and
allocate them to foreign invaders and illegal immigrants instead of
(02:50):
giving them to our veterans with post traumatic stress disorder
or to people who have struggled their whole life with
mental health, whether it's bipolari schizophrenia, and now they're out
on the sh streets because they actually can't find work
because they are not of sound mind. They should be
an assistant living, they should be in a mental institution.
They should be taking some sort of you know, medicine
(03:11):
so that they could regulate their various their various issues.
It's just it's just sad, and it just goes back
to like the main issue, right, like if we don't
start taking care of our own, from our veterans, to
our homeless, to our women and children, to our elderly,
we are going to lose our country. And if you
look around and you see people defending Sharia law, Islamic
(03:32):
centers and illegal immigrants and they want to attack ICE officers,
we have people within Congress that are docksing ICE officers
and telling you where they're going to be and hide
from them. You know, this is it's just beyond the pale.
If you don't want to be here and you don't
want to live the way that we live, and you
don't want to adhere to our laws, that's fine. No
(03:54):
one's keeping you here. I promise you don't let the
door hit you on the way, you know, in the
ass on the way out. Oh now, please immediately. This
is a massive issue that we have in the United
States of America. And to that point, the President even
said today he's having various people go into the museums
and the Smithsonian, et cetera, and looking around to see
(04:16):
what they're teaching our kids when they go on these
school trips to these various you know, establishments that get
all this taxpayer funding and they're in there just bashing
the history of America. This is the greatest country in
the world, you know, and this whole idea of like
we're a melting pot, We're not really a melting pot.
We're like a bunch of melting pots kind of sitting
next to each other, and sometimes we're mingle and sometimes
(04:37):
we don't, and we're kind of doing our best. But
we are definitely the nation in the world that has
really given the most freedom to its people and done
its best to not sort of control the people beyond
what we consider to be a defensible manner. Right. We're
not trying to tell people how to live their lives
in their home. We want you to do the right thing.
(04:59):
Don't her puppies, don't hurt babies, you know, if you
want to celebrate your culture in your house. But we
don't need the call to prayer five times a day
like they're doing in different places in Michigan and Minnesota
and Texas right now. That's not what America is about.
We're a Judeo Christian nation. We want you to live
and prosper. We want you to build businesses, be an
entrepreneurial work for an entrepreneur, work for a great company,
(05:21):
become a tradesman, all the things. But this whole idea
of I'm going to come to America, I'm going to
live off the dole. And that's what America is all about.
You know, the money is just falling from the trees.
It's actually not falling from the trees. It's off of
the backs of people like myself, my husband and our
families who put in, you know, fifteen twenty hour days
(05:42):
doing various jobs trying to make the rent work. And
things are ridiculously expensive, whether it's health insurance or the
subways or a track or your highway costs. You know,
all these things are increasing. And why is it increasing
Because we're taking care of too many peace people who
are just depleting the system. They don't put anything in.
(06:05):
They take, they take, they take. And finally we have
a president who's like, hey, I have a new idea.
If you're on government benefits, if you're on welfare, food stamps,
assistance of any kind, and you are of you know,
sound body and mind, how about you earn a little
bit of what you're taking. How about that? You know,
there's nothing I love to see more than no ebt
(06:28):
on all of the fancy coffees, the expensive soft drinks,
the snacks that are no good for you, and then
things that are covered that are good for you, you know,
sort of like the staples of life, eggs, bread, milk,
cereal for your kids, et cetera. These are the things
that should be covered by food stamps. And it's so
great to finally see somebody saying, yeah, that's actually not
(06:51):
covered and we're not going to do that for you.
I can't even tell you how happy it makes me.
And all these people they're losing their minds. I mean
they're absolutely out of their minds and they're like, what
do you mean I have to work for the money
that the government's giving me. I don't know, that's what
the rest of us do. Where do you think the
money that you're getting comes from? I mean, really that
(07:12):
this is the thing that drives me. Banana is the
most I want you to take a listen to this woman.
She's on government assistance. She gets the maximum allowable amount.
She has three children, and she is baffled by the
fact that she has to allocate some of her time
to actually giving a little back for all that she gets.
Just take a listen.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Can someone please help me make sense of this. I've
been receiving food stamps for the last seven years consistently.
I just receive a letter in the mail telling me
that I now have to do community service hours at
least at least fifteen hours a week. I have to
(07:56):
take out of my time things that I do every
day to do community service so that I can still
continue to receive the benefits that I receive. Mind you,
I am receiving the maximum benefit. I get two thousand
dollars in food stamps a month, but that is only
because I have three kids. Now, how do they expect
(08:19):
me to be able to do community service hours if
I can't even get a regular job. So I'm at
risk of losing my food Stap benefits because I'm not
putting an effort.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Are you serious? Yes, we're serious. Here's a novel idea.
Why don't you try working like the rest of us.
This whole idea of I can't find a job. How
can you not find a job? I mean, honestly, you
cannot go within even a few feet without finding a
help wanted sign. Everybody's hiring. Everyone is hiring, and if
(08:57):
you are unable to find a job. Well, then you
are the problem. Maybe you need to look at yourself.
Maybe you need to do something that you weren't intending
on doing so that you could pay your bills. And
I can't tell you how many times I've had this
conversation with people who were on benefits and I'm like,
so get a part time job at least, and I
get the same thing. Well, I can't take too much
(09:18):
because then I won't be able to get my benefits.
What this is, This is the concept we don't want
to make too much money because we don't want them
to take away our money. It's not your money, that's
taxpayer dollars. You know, there's a movie called The Cinderella
Man with Russell Crowe. It's really old. It's one of
(09:40):
my favorites. I absolutely love it. And he does this,
you know, it shows you know, that was right around
the nineteen twenty nine stock market crash. And he's a boxer.
He lost all his money in the stock market and
he's in really bad shape. So, long story short, he
goes to government assistance. He's standing on the line and
(10:00):
he's got to get government assistants because he can't get work.
And the woman who gives him the money was like, oh,
I can't believe you're here and chastises him, which really
is that what he needed at that moment. But anyways,
fast forward in the movie. You know, he's back in
the black things are doing good and he takes the
money back and the government assistance worker, who like made
(10:20):
fun of him, was like, what are you doing here?
And he's like, I believe I live in the greatest
country in the world. Who will help a man when
he's down, And I'm here to repay the favor. That's
the concept. The concept is not cradle to grave, be
on the dole. The concept is, uh, oh I've hit
a rough patch. I need a little help, you know.
I personally feel blessed that as hard as my upbringing was,
(10:43):
and as hard as my mom worked and did everything
she did, God bless her for us, we never took
government assistance. At our lowest of low my mom was like,
I can do it. I can work. She was working
two three jobs, working around the clock, never sleeping. I
started babysitting when I was ten. I started and I
got my part time working papers I think when I
was thirteen or fourteen, sorry, working in the stores, go
(11:05):
to school all day, work all night, do your homework.
You know, that's a work ethic that you have to
be brought up with. You have to teach your kids.
You know, life is hard, but if you work hard,
you'll be rewarded and you'll be able to live a
life where when you take those breaks and you take
those moments, you're happy. And that seems to be lost
on you know, a lot of these generations, especially the
(11:26):
boomer generation. You know, these protesters that are down there
screaming at President Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense
Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller. You know, they're going to
you know, they're in the Capitol and they're you know,
they're welcoming the National Guard and they're thanking them for
their assistance and they're thanking them for their time. And
(11:49):
there's these hecklers screaming, I mean literally screaming at them
because they're mad that they're there. Meanwhile, the hecklers are
all old white people. The DC Metro is almost I
think it's like eighty five or ninety percent black. Who
are you to talk about the DC Metro community and
(12:10):
the crime and the trauma that they face every day,
just trying to go about their day. Where do you live?
And that's the problem. You talk to them where you're from.
This one's from Markansas, This one's from Colorado, This one's
from California, This one's from New York. None of these
people are local. They don't know what it's like to
live in these communities. It's absolutely incredible. I will say,
(12:32):
you know, Stephen Miller, he roasted them and it was
very well done.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
First of all, thank you're the Vice president for bringing
us here today. Thank you Secretary for your leadership, and
most importantly, think you hear the men and women of
the National Guard. Here's the most important point. There are
residents who lived in Washington, d C. Their entire lives.
Their parents lived here, their grandparents lived here, and they
(12:55):
have lived for generations in intolerable conditions of I'm in decay.
There are parts of the city I moved to the
city twenty years ago. There are places where I've seen
graffiti that has been untouched for two decades. There are
homeless encampments that have made it impossible for families to
use public parks and public recreation for as long as
(13:17):
I've lived here. There are hundreds of residents of this
city who are shot in street violence every single year,
making it among the most violent cities on planet Earth.
And for too long, ninety nine percent of this city
has been terrorized by one percent.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Of the city.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And the voices that you hear out there, those crazy communists,
they have no roots, they have no connections to the city.
They have no families they are raising this city. They
have no one that they are sending to school in
this city, they have no jobs in the city, they
have no connections to this community at all. But they're
the ones who've been advocating for the one percent, the criminals,
the killers, the rapists, the dealers. And I'm glad they're
(14:01):
here today because me, Pete and the Vice President are
all gonna leave here and inspired by them, we're gonna
add thousands more resources to this city to get the
criminals and the gang members out of here. We're gonna
disamandle those networks, and we're gonna prove that a city
can serve for the law abiding citizens who live there.
We are not gonna let the communists destroy a great
(14:23):
American city, let alone the nation's capital. And let's just
also adds another thing, all these demonstrators that you've seen
out here in recent days, all of these elderly white hippies,
they're not part of the city and never happen. And
by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington,
d C. Are black. This is not a city that
has had any safety for its black citizens for generations.
(14:49):
And President Trump is the one who is fixing that
with the support in the Metropolitan Police Department to support
the National Guard and our federal law enforcement officers.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Ignore these stupid white hips that all need to go
home and take a nap because they're all over ninety
years old, and we're going to get back to the
business of protecting the American people and the citizens of
Washington disiasm.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Thank you, Steven, A few questions. I absolutely love this.
I love that someone finally called them on their bullshit
because it's so true. You know, there are protests all
around where I live because I live in kind of
a purple area, and the most recent protest, my husband
and I noted that that every single person in this
(15:32):
damn protest had to be sixty five plus. I'm like,
did they just go to every fifty five and over
living community and say, hey, you want to make a
hundred bucks for the day, hold this sign and yell
stupid things. They were like, all right, I wasn't doing
anything anyway. I mean, it is the most bizarre thing
in the world. And they're really toxic. They're nasty, they're mean.
(15:53):
I don't know. I don't actually know if they're all
like triggered, if they if they're giving them some sort
of medicine before they go out and they protest, that's like,
you know, here's your extra mean pill. I mean, they're
just so nasty. They get in the way and they're screaming.
They're screaming at anybody that they can. They're mad at everybody,
and there's no rhyme or reason to it whatsoever. I'm like,
(16:14):
what are you doing here? Are you saying that you
want more crime? Are you saying that you feel that
this is wrong? They're not going in around and you know,
the National Guard's not patrolling the street saying hey, what
are you texting right now? You know this isn't like
Big Brother nineteen eighty four McCarthyism. This is oh hey, uh,
(16:35):
you five guys attacking a grandma trying to cross the
street and take her purse from her, and she can't
defend herself because you guys are all fourteen years old
and your juvenile delinquents, because you probably have a bad
home life, which is a whole other show in and
of itself. That's the real issue. That's that's who they're
going after. They're going after illegal immigrants, they're going after
(16:57):
career criminals, and they're going after peopleople that are attacking
those who cannot protect themselves. And the Metro Police Department
of DC under Muriel Bowser has done a pretty terrible job.
And now they got their police chief. I mean, you
look at their police chief, you look at their you know,
head of police, you look at their you know, internal
(17:19):
organizers of the police department that are supposed to be
you know the thing, I forget what it's called when
they investigate one another. But it's like all of these
people that are supposed to be corralling and supporting each
other and the city are like one big DEI project.
I'm like, where'd you guys come from? What did you
do before you did this? Because you are really messing
this up. And it's like, instead of swallowing your pride,
(17:42):
and saying, you know, there's babies getting shot. I was
talking about this today with a friend and we were
looking at this little one year old that was shot.
She's still in the hospital in a coma. She's a baby,
a one year old little baby. Yes, she's black, she's
a black little baby. Where are all the people there?
Where's BLM? Now you don't care about her, she doesn't matter.
(18:05):
You're not going to march in the street for that
little soul and pray that she pulls through. Oh no,
that doesn't work for the mantra. Right, we need a
bunch of double white people standing around talking trash about
a city they don't live in, an issue they don't
care about, and just getting their pay to play for
that moment. I mean, what a crock of shit. It's infuriating.
So I thought I would get a few pieces of
(18:25):
audio of people that actually live in DC. Every one
of these people is black. Every one of these people
is talking about how they live in the metro and
they will express to you how they're feeling about what
is happening. I think it's a good thing because, you
know what I'm saying, it's better for the community and
safer for the kids.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Stop the violence.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You know what I'm saying, us and not slugs.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
I enjoy having extra security.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I mean, you want to feel safe when you're out
and about, especially females.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It's a good thing because it actually reinforces the fact
that America is secure, safe, stable.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Elliot Rea says he supports the federal involvement.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
As a moderate. As a centrist, I think something needs
to be done. I have three kids, I'm about to
start teaching next week. I wanted to be saved.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Do you not understand that this is what the residents want.
I'm not talking about the bougie upper Echelon's bougie blacks.
I'm talking about the everyday grandmas that have to deal
with these homeless people peeing and pooping on their steps
and then they have to clean it up. They don't
feel safe when they walk into their neighborhood. The gangs
(19:32):
and the drug the dope boys are just standing around
the corner, you know, like, do you not understand this
is what they want? I remember working with the community
leader and somebody had just gotten shot. This is like
five years ago, and I remember her praying and she
said Crystal, We're gonna have to invoke the National Guard,
(19:54):
And that was so foreign to me.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Now I understand the shit. These people are helpless.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
And I'm not talking about the boo she black people
that live in their gated communities with their new bills.
I'm talking about the everyday grandmothers, and I'm so glad
that President Trump cares about them.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Isn't that funny to hear from people that actually live there,
that are telling you, you know, I'm a moderate, I'm
a centrist. You know, I'm just out and about trying
to live my life. And they're being very, very honest
about the fact that they're happy about what President Trump
is doing. They're grateful that somebody finally took notice and said,
(20:31):
instead of just saying we can do something and not
actually being able to do something, how about we do
something because we can. That's what the National Guard is for.
The National Guard is to protect and guard our national treasures.
What's more important than our people. That's what they're there for.
(20:53):
We need them. We need them now more than ever,
I'll tell you that much. And I think it's absolutely
incredible that we were able to get to a spot
where we could honestly and truthfully bring people in to
protect those people who actually live in Washington, d C.
And God bless Stephen Miller for calling it out like
it is, because it is a load of shit to
(21:14):
say that this is some sort of federal takeover and
it's the oppression of the people. It's actually the exact opposite.
And we need to find answers for all those homeless encampments,
all those people that lived in those encampments. We need
to find answers. We need to find facilities and resources
to get those folks back back on their feet. We
(21:36):
want to help them be productive members of society. We
want to help them stop taking and leeching off of
the government or turning to the absolute worst resort, which
is living in the cold on the streets. It's cold
in DC in the winter. That's what these people should
be out there protesting about. Maybe stop holding your sign,
get your hands dirty, go volunteer at a homeless shelter.
(21:58):
To go volunteer and help these people out doing the cleanup.
Get into the weeds. If you really want to know
what's going on, go there and find out. You're screaming
and crying about a bunch of nonsense, because the people
that live there are grateful, So why don't you go
back home, like this woman just said, to your bougie
gated community and shut up. Do us all a favorite. Please?
(22:20):
This has been the Roague Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin.
Thank you as always for being here. Please follow us
at Linda Mick at the Rogue Recap. Actually it's at
Roague Recap. I keep saying that, but it's at Rogue Recap.
We will be back tomorrow with more news. I think
tomorrow I'm going to do an expose on our communist
Congress people. We have so many of them, and most
(22:40):
of them are from other countries. I don't even think
they should be allowed to be in Congress. And I
definitely don't think anybody should be in Congress that trashes
America and says they love their home country more than
they love America. So we'll do a whole show on
that tomorrow. Stay safe, everybody, have a good night. We'll
see then
