GASLIGHT CENTRAL

My first podcast since the loss of Charlie Kirk, amidst the chaos of the Kimmel firing and Obama's remarks. It's all so surreal, and yet we still have people protesting the memory of a man who's not here to defend himself. So we have to do it for him, for us and for the nation.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up and welcome. This is the Rogue Recap and
you are here with your host, Linda McLaughlin. She is pissed, off, outraged,
and has zero patients 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.

(00:23):
Make sure to like and subscribe to her podcast so

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hey, what's up, guys. It's Linda here with the Rogue
Recap and great to talk to you again for starting
something new next week. So we had a little bit
of hiatus due to last week's news on Charlie Kirk.
For those of you who don't know, I did work
with Charlie for a couple of years, one on one
with all of his messaging and digital and you know,

(00:50):
we've been friends in the conservative space for a really
long time, and what happened to him really just threw
me for a loop. Like so many other people, I
don't think I'm alone and feeling that way, and I
just really mourn and grieve for his wife, Erica and
their children, and regardless of what you think of him politically,

(01:12):
it's just beyond the pale to kill a man the
way that he was killed, in front of his wife
and in front of his small children, I don't know
how you come back from that. And I'm just praying
for them. I'm praying that they come out of this
and they find their way to peace. And God bless
his wife. She seems to be doing remarkably well. It's

(01:34):
pretty incredible. But I am astonished at the behavior of
the left. You know, I've been giving in a lot
of thought how people are behaving and how they behaved
when George Floyd died. And while the death of George Floyd,
just like the death of any human being, is tragic,

(01:55):
the idea that we were going to turn cities inside
out for reasons that were contrived and based on preconceived
notions as opposed to what actually occurred the day that
he died, and then saying that he should have murals,
his family should be awarded millions of dollars and we

(02:17):
should you know, remember his name. It's insane, you know. Yeah,
he was in a terrible altercation with a police officer
that resulted from him being involved in a criminal activity.
He wasn't out giving a speech, having open dialogue he
was robbing a store. It's a very different thing. And

(02:41):
while that's uncomfortable to hear, I guess for some folks
that is what happened. So you can remember lots of people,
but you don't have a right to remember them in
the way that suits your narrative. The facts really don't
give a shit about your feelings. I don't know if
you know this. They don't. And this whole life idea
that we can regale somebody who had a rap sheet

(03:04):
longer than a city street and then criticize somebody because
their opinions were different than yours. I mean, nobody screams
were incendiary discussing things like people in Congress like Rashida
Talib and ilhan Omar Aoc. Look at Governor Pritzker. You
know he's a funny fella because he likes to pretend

(03:24):
like nobody has technology and that we all forget. This
is somebody who literally two days ago said I never
called anybody Nazis, and we have montages of him calling
the right Nazis. So you can try to act like
you didn't play a role in what led to what
happened to Charlie Kirk. But when you look everywhere all
the time, and you're constantly telling America that the right

(03:50):
are fascists, that the right are Nazis, that the right
want to kill you and they hate you. It's it's
so fake and it's so sad and also the ultimate
guess light. And that's what this podcast is about. It's
about gaslighting because the left is incredibly good at it.
They are, they're professionals. They should teach courses in it.

(04:12):
We don't need liberal professors, we just need the left.
They're great at it. And what they like to do
is telegraph what they're doing and then accuse you of it.
It's kind of like when you're in a really bad
relationship and your partner's cheating and they're like, you're cheating
on me, and you're like, no, I'm not. Oh, I
get it. You're cheating on me. So you're projecting this
onto me and acting like something's going on that it isn't.

(04:34):
Because you're actually the one doing it, you feel guilty.
And now we see that even with Barack Obama, who
came out today and was saying, you know, while we
don't agree with Charlie Kirk, you know, and what he
said was wrong you know, we can't. What happened to
him was terrible. I'm like, first of all, who were
you to say that anybody's wrong? This is a man

(04:56):
who wrote two books about his life before he did anything.
I mean, honestly, what is your life story? It's utterly nonsense.
And I read both of his book, Audacity of Hope
and Dreams of Our Father before he was president. And
that's how I knew that he was psychotic, because I
read those books before he was elected. It used to

(05:18):
drive me nuts when he was running for president, people saying,
I don't know this guy's new man. You know, we
don't know anything about him. I'm like, really, because he
wrote two books about himself. He's talking all about how
he studied under Marxists and he loved socialism, and he
felt like white people oppressed him, and you know, white
people didn't want him walking down the street. And I'm like, bro,
you were raised by your white grandparents. What are you

(05:40):
talking about. You have lived a charmed and privileged life.
You went to the best schools in the country, and
you're telling me you feel like you were oppressed. Sell
that shit to somebody else. I am so over the
I'm held down. I'm held back.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
No, you're not.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You have every opportunity in the world. You know why,
because you were born in America. What you do with
your life, the choices you make, what you decide to do,
no matter where you're from, are your own. Now. Granted,
some people have an easier time than others. Some people
have a harder story than others. There's no question that

(06:18):
all of that is accurate. What's not accurate is to
accuse people who have a really great life of being
XYZ person because they don't agree with your ideals. You know,
there's a lot of people on the left that I
don't like. A lot. There's a lot of people on
the left that I wish I don't know, maybe it

(06:39):
didn't make so much noise. Maybe we're quiet, And I'm
sure there's a lot of people on the left that
wish I was quiet and I didn't have a voice
and I couldn't say what I wanted. But lucky for
me and lucky for them, we live here. We can
say whatever we want on x we can say whatever
we want on Instagram. We can have podcast, TV shows,
radio shows, documentaries, you name it. But what we can't

(07:02):
do and what we shouldn't do is bash people who
literally were shot dead in front of their family, friends
and some of their greatest fans and make fun of it.
Say things like, I wish that he, you know, rolls
in his piss and shit for the rest of eternity.

(07:23):
I wish that somebody killed his wife. I wish that
somebody killed his children, or I don't care about any
of them because they're related to him, or oh booho,
Charlie Kirk's dead. Well, who gives a shit because he
was a racist prick. I'm like, we just gave literally
a pass for radical Muslims to come into the United

(07:45):
States and give speeches on college campuses about Palestine. And
you're telling me that Charlie Kirk is the problem. These
people that are speaking in dearborn Michigan, Texas, Minnesota. They're
not out there saying, hey, we're Muslim, but we believe
that everybody has a right to be free. They're saying

(08:05):
things like, hey, we're Muslim, We're coming into your cities,
We're coming into your states. We're gonna rape your women
and children. No Christianity, no Jewish, you can't have beer,
you can't eat pork, don't play your music, We're going
to do the call to prayer five times a day.
What you think that this is normal, that's acceptable, It's not.
It's not acceptable. And the idea that people are allowing

(08:28):
this to happen and voting on it and saying it's
okay to me is shocking. I don't understand at all
what is happening with the American people. Whether you're left
or right, there should be some semblance of understanding American ideals.

(08:49):
Now you want to be mad about Jimmy Kimmel, You
want to say it's the oppression of the left's voice
and all this stuff, Well, good luck with that, because
the right has been dealing with cancel culture for about
ten years. So get in line with your hurt feelings. Honestly,
so many people have been hurt by the left, so
many and not because they were saying in cyndiary things,

(09:13):
not because they were saying things they shouldn't have said,
but because they were expressing opinions that were the opposite
of what the left was saying. That's the big difference.
You want to stand there and say that you are
the victim. You want to stand there and say rosy
O'Donnell while you cry in Ireland that your feelings are hurt,

(09:35):
that this is the end of America, that we've never
seen anything like this. The problem is is that's not true.
That's not what's happening. There is a massive problem and
a complete and utter misunderstanding of the nature of things.
And you don't get a right to suddenly say, oh,

(09:56):
we're so sad about this, you know. Rosy and Barr
made a great point today, and she was reminding Barack Obama,
literally reminding him that. When she was on air, he
and Michelle Obama called over to Iger Bob Iger, who
was running Disney, to say, hey, you should get rid

(10:18):
of her. That's no good. I mean, really think about
that for a minute, how messed up that is. And
then you wonder, you honestly wonder, how it's possible that
they could be this out of touch. You're running ads
all the time saying that we are dangerous to America,

(10:38):
we are dangerous for young people. We are infecting people
with hatred, we are infecting people with our inability to
be tolerant. Are you for real? Does anybody remember when
a young man went down to a pro life march
and got screamed in his face, and they cut the

(11:00):
tape and they edit it and they only played what
they wanted. Remember CNN did that You remember what happened? Yeah,
they lost, and they paid that young man a lot
of money, a whole lot of money. These are the
same people that when you didn't get the COVID vaccine,
said that you should die, that you shouldn't be allowed

(11:23):
to live your life, that you shouldn't be allowed to
do anything with the public. Same people. These are the
same people that have conservatives houses swatted. I mean, look
at my friend Joe Pegs. They had twelve cops show
up with AR fifteen's surrounding his house because some scumbag

(11:44):
somewhere called and said that him and his daughter were
being held and they were, you know, under attack, and
the house was being invaded. They were all in bed.
He's got little ones. This stuff is wrong. That's a
bridge too far. That's not free of speech. That's just
you being an asshole and then trying to say, no,

(12:05):
I'm the victim. You're not the victim, you are the problem.
You want to express opinion, that's fine, But people like
Joy Reid and people like Whoope Goldberg and people like
Joy Behar and Anna Navarro and Jimmy Kimmel, all of
these people, Stephen Colbert, There's so many of them. Brian Stelter.

(12:28):
These are terrible people who misappropriate comments and quotes, take
them out of context and create hate. And when they
create that hate in cooperation with the government, the previous government,
Biden's government, we had Christopher Ray at the head of
the FBI. He was targeting people who opposed the twenty

(12:49):
twenty election, who didn't believe in the COVID scam, who
had questions about what was happening, you know, on a
broader scale with I don't know, Epstein, Hunter, Biden's last
all of these things, right, it's a really big deal.
Do we ever get any answers from this guy? And
not the least of which was the fact that they
were attacking Catholics. I'm like, really, we're attacking Catholics? What

(13:13):
is going on? It's such a massive issue to not
be able to be honest about what is happening. It's
an even bigger issue that we have so much misinformation
that the average person, the person that is actually just
reading the news and trying to figure out in their

(13:36):
day to day life, what's next. Can't discern between reality
and what's fake. That's a problem. And you look at
these lists, you look at all of these people, and
you say to yourself, oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Oh yeah, I forgot that this person said this, and
then they tried to cancel them. That's the problem, that's

(14:00):
what's really going on. We have to remember, we have
to stay diligent, and we have to be firm and
all of the things that we are doing so that
we can be honestly prepared for the next Siah. I'm
going to give you a brief rundown of just some

(14:23):
of the people that have been canceled or attempted to
be canceled by the left because the left didn't like
what they were saying. The left is getting canceled right
now because they cheered on the assassination of a fellow
American who died at the hands of a transgender lunatic.
Or I guess he's a transgender apologist because his boyfriend

(14:45):
slash girlfriend whatever is transgender. I don't know. I can't
keep up. Let's just take a quick listen to some
of the people. Roseanne bar who I just mentioned, you
was fired by ABC Disney. It was canceled in twenty
eighteen because of hundreds of people lost their cast, their crew.
They all lost their jobs. Gina Carano, who's an actress,

(15:07):
was fired from The Mandalorian in twenty twenty one. Why
because of social media posts They didn't fit the left.
They dropped her, and so did her agency. They dropped
her too. Megan Kelly was fired by NBC in twenty eighteen,
why because of comments about Halloween costumes. Dave Chappelle. Netflix

(15:27):
employees when he had his comedic you Know Special, staged
a walkout because he was talking about They said he
was transphobic, so they tried to cancel him. Joe Rogan
they wanted Spotify to drop him because he was having
open and honest conversations about COVID. Tucker Carlson taken off
in twenty twenty three because liberal activists said they got

(15:51):
him out of his job because of advertiser pressure and
because he lost him in the advertisers Parlor got canceled
because Apple, glul and Amazon wipe their entire platform off
the Internet. JK. Rowling got blacklisted from events. She was
attacked by activists because of the fact that she spoke
out and gave her own opinion. There are so many

(16:13):
people like this and I got to give a hat
tip here to Swampist. That list is from Swampist. Great job.
Really appreciate you getting that out there. There's just so
many instances and I know it's hard to keep track,
but if we don't, we're never going to win the
war because each one of these battles has to be
fought and corrected at that moment. It's like when your

(16:36):
child does something wrong, you have to correct them in
the moment because they're already going to do in the
next dumb thing. So if you don't correct it when
it happens, they're just going to keep doing it. It's
the same thing with the Left. Pretend like you're dealing
with a five year old. You're going to do great.
