Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the Roguereecap with Linda McLaughlin. She's unfiltered, unforgiving,
and understandably annoyed by everyone. Make sure you like and

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, Hey, everybody, Thursday night, here recording around midnight, and
I'm gonna start off the show just thinking about the
people of Currville, Texas. You know, I was talking to
a friend today who's from Texas, and she and I
were discussing just how out of the news this horrible
tragedy is. We lost so many children, we lost so

(00:40):
many people, just senselessly, sadly. Someone prepared for these natural disasters.
And I use the word natural very very loosely. And
I won't get into that right now because that's not
what I want to start the show off with. But
I just I ask you to please, if you can give, give,

(01:01):
you know, find out who the local people are that
are on the ground, that are working with you know,
the divers and the search teams and people that are
I mean, they've lost everything, you know, their houses are
down the river. There was like a whole area of
RVs that got sucked under the water and they're they're
still really struggling down there. So as we move on

(01:22):
and we talk about all sorts of other things like
the Epstein files or whatever, just remember that the death
count as of today from the flooding, it's one hundred
and thirty five people, and one hundred and sixteen of
them are writing Curville, and it's just it's really sad,
and my heart breaks for them, it really does. And

(01:43):
I'm so sad at the way that we as a
nation dealt with it as soon as it happened. You know,
all these people coming out saying, oh who cares, that's
Maga country, that's little white people, little white kids, all this.
It's just not the time, guys. It's just not the
time for racism or politicization. It's a time to be

(02:03):
a human being and help. I'm sure that wouldn't have
been tolerated during Hurricane Katrina. Just thinking out loud for
a minute, but really sad thinking of them, and honestly,
also thinking about all the pets. You know. I've made
several donations this week to different local spots, and one
of them was to a place that's taking care of

(02:24):
all the pets they're finding because either they got lost
in the flood where their owners succumbed to the floods.
They're injured as well, and they're lost. They need foster homes,
they need care. It's just really sad. And we're not
even a year out from what happened in North Carolina

(02:45):
with Hurricane Helene, and it's the same kind of thing.
You know. It's like, we set up camp, we broadcast
from there for a few days. We cover, you know,
people and their families who have lost their whole. I
mean I saw one guy. He lost his entire family,
his wife and his children, and he held on as

(03:06):
long as he could, and then he lost grip and
they all died and he lived. I mean, I can't
even fathom the survivor's guilt that that guy is going
to have for the rest of his days on this earth.
I cannot imagine for one moment how that would feel.
And I'm so grateful that I don't have to feel it.
But it's there's just a real heaviness to it. And

(03:30):
you know, while the rest of the world is freaking
out about how he can save an I llegal immigrant
who raped a child, I want to focus back in
on people who really need us. People who need prayer,
people who need funds, and people who need help, and
we just got to give a little. Everybody's got to
give whatever they can. And there's just so many places,

(03:50):
you know, whether we were I know, I keep going
back to this, but there's just so much of this,
whether it's the Palisades, why what happened in North Carolina,
parts of Tennessee and Georgia. You know, we're looking at
places like Texas and it's just really sad. So we
just need to keep them in our prayers and really

(04:12):
just focus on what we can do to help. I know,
that's what I'm going to try to do, and try
to stay away from the idiots to make it ugly
any uglier than it already is, that's for sure. And
it was totally in the same vein. Chip Roy today
was testifying about public radio funding because MPR, which is

(04:32):
national public radio, is pushing very hard to get more
funding from the government as President Trump and his administration
is slashing the funding that goes to them because they
are so liberal and it doesn't really make a lot
of sense to have taxpayer funds go to something that
is so one sided. If you're going to be one sided.
Then you can get your funds from private endorsement and investment.

(04:56):
You don't need taxpayer dollars because you are not representing
the taxpayers. You're representing a very select group of people
to whom you wish to have an echo chamber with.
So good luck with that. Plenty of people out there
who would love to give their money, all of these
anti capitalists who want to spread their message. Yeah, it's
going to go real well, I'll tell you that much.

(05:17):
But Congressmanship Roy, whose community has been really hard hit
by these floods, he spoke today into hearing and it
was just so spot on. You know, it's kind of
like that Burgess Owens tape that I played the other day.
You know, sometimes if you really hone in and you
just focus on what you're saying, it's just remarkable what

(05:42):
you can achieve. And Congressmanship Roy of Texas did it. Here.
Take a listen.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
There's a lot of folks here talking about and extolling
the virtues of NPR, PBS, public broadcasting and so forth,
and you know, talked about how you know they're cutting
their funding is somehow going to endanger unities and rural communities. Well,
when the floods were hitting the people that I represent,
it took NPR through Texas Public Radio, nineteen hours to

(06:09):
post anything about the flooding on its social media. What
was NPR and TPR doing in the introm What were
they doing in the morning at four, five, six, seven
in the morning, when private radio stations that I listened
to and that I talked to were breaking in and
presenting the information of the news, They were playing a program,
a DC based program lobbying Congress for billions of dollars

(06:31):
to continue their funding. When the flood hit at four
in the morning, instead of providing local news, they were
airing the morning edition of the Washington d C. Well,
that's fine, they already had a pre tape. I get that.
But they didn't break in like the local stations did.
And so forth. The seven private stations posted over seventy
alerts on their social pages throughout the day, starting at
seven to twenty four in the morning. My point being,
private stations in the communities in which I live were

(06:54):
there for the people of Texas. They were there presenting
the information necessary, and the public stations were.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I mean, well done, sir, exactly right. This is what
we're talking about. If you cannot be there when you
are most needed, then we will not be there for you.
There's absolutely no reason why an organization like MPR and
all the public radio stations should be getting any taxpayer

(07:22):
money if the only thing they want to push is
a liberal agenda when it suits them to do so.
And to his point, yeah, sure, okay, you had a
show that was pre taped. We understand it happens. But
when there's breaking news, that means it's happening right now.
So you have to get a reporter in there to
get on and to start telling people where to go

(07:43):
and what to do. And here's the thing. Public radio
is typically something that people in their community listen to
because a lot of times it's where they're going to get,
you know, their local information if it's being run right.
So if at that time, you know, and everything's falling apart,
the only thing they had was the radio in their car,

(08:04):
or a transistor radio that they had in their house
or raybe in their garage or whatever it is, right,
it's a real problem if they can't get any information
because on those radios in your car and on those
transistor radios is where you get AM frequency, and that
AM frequency may be the difference between you finding your
way to higher ground, knowing that it's coming your way,

(08:26):
what direction it's coming, and being caught off guard and
not being able to live to see another day and
him really being so direct and to the point in
this hearing just kind of just set a tone in
my opinion, because they want to argue and say that,
you know, President Trump and his agenda and his administration

(08:47):
are just attacking the people's voice. Were you the voice
of the people that day July fourth weekend when little
children were dying and you were playing a can segment
because that was what was easier for you. And even
still you couldn't post on social media. Why wouldn't you
put a post on social media? How hard is that?

(09:08):
I don't know. It's you get to this spot where
there just aren't any excuses left and you have to say, well,
that's wilful you willfully didn't post that, you wilfully didn't
put in the extra effort. You willfully made a decision
not to help because of your political affiliations and what
you thought was more important. And that's what happened there.

(09:29):
And you know kudos to Chip Roy for having the
balls to say it and kind of lay it on
the line, because that's what we need more of. We
need more people doing that, and we need more people
speaking out. And it's it's an over it's an overarching
problem throughout our country with people not being able to

(09:50):
address real issues and common sense issues. As I was
saying in the last episode, hed guy emailed me today.
I don't know he got my email from god knows where,
but he sent this email to me and he goes,
you guys need to stop talking about Mom Donnie. You
guys need to stop talking about AOC and the squad

(10:11):
and Bernie Sanders and all the things that are doing wrong,
and you need to start talking about conservative candidates that
can replace them. And I agree with that. I do
think we need to spend more time talking about the
voices that will actually make a difference and can replace
the seats of rabbit and hyperliberal Democrats. Without question, here's

(10:35):
a problem. People like Kamidani have so much money. While
he screams that he is a man of the people
and says that no one should own private property and
we should all be in government food stores and capitalism
should be a thing of the past. He comes from privilege,

(10:58):
as do most of the these lunatics, covering their faces
in their heads because they believe in their message so
much they don't want you to know who they are.
I mean, honestly, that's what we're dealing with. I saw
one of these idiots get arrested the other day and
he's screaming because the police are unmasking them so that
they can write down descriptions and figure out who they are.
And he's screaming that he has a right to have

(11:20):
his mask on in the police officer she just looked
at him. She's like, no, you don't. You do not
have a right to cover your face right now. You
will be exposed for doing what you're doing and protesting
if you believe in anti Semitism so much that you
want to come up to where young people are trying
to go to school or head in for an extra

(11:41):
class or whatever it is in the summer, and you
want to come up and scream at them as a
man I don't know the sky looklike. He was probably
in his late forties early fifties, screaming and yelling at
these kids because they're Jewish. You don't want anybody know
who you are. Oh well, too late, we're going to
start exposing you. But my point in saying that is
there is this blind herd mentality of just going along

(12:05):
with this ridiculous Kami Donnie Bernie Sanders AOC. And what
I would love to see happen is to have these
idiots sit down and have to answer real questions. I
don't think they could. I don't think they could tell
you. You know. You know, like Kami Donnie says he's a
socialist or whatever. He couldn't tell you the tenets of socialism.

(12:27):
He couldn't tell you where it worked, because it never did.
But he couldn't tell you what nation it originated from,
or how it worked in other countries. You know, how
did people fare after communism?

Speaker 3 (12:40):
You know?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
And then you have people like from Russia, from Cuba,
from Georgia, you know, talking to you and saying you
have no idea what it is like to be under
the thumb of the government that wants to oppress you
and keep you and not allow you to do anything.
If you just take a look at what has happened

(13:00):
right now in the streets of Spain, or take a
look at what is happening in London. You know, it's
all across the UK, but London's pretty bad. And I
remember going to London just like five or six years
ago and thinking, man, I don't see a lot of
people from London here. And I started to ask, well,

(13:20):
where are you from? Where are you from? Just asking
I'm from Afghanistan, I'm from Pakistan. Oh okay, I'm from Uzbekistan.
Uh huh why are you here?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, we're spreading the word of Islam. Oh that's great, Okay,
it's they weren't like, oh, we wanted a better life
or we heard it. You know, my husband and my
wife had a great job opportunity. It's oh, they have
a really good welfare program, and so we thought we'd
come and loafer around for you know, I don't know
fifty sixty years what I remember a guy I used

(13:53):
to work with and he married a girl from Germany,
and it was like right, it was right before Trump.
It was like maybe like twenty fourteen, and we were
talking and he said, I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna marry my wife and we're gonna go there
and have our kids and live our life in Germany.
And I was like why and he's like, well, you
get subsidies and I would be an immigrant. I'm like

(14:14):
that that's why you want to go to Germany. He's
like yeah, because then I could work less and you know,
we could just spend more time. And I'm like, what
is this mentality. I'm not saying work has to be
your whole life, but the lack of desire to work,
to have your own money, to be your own person,
this is like a it's like an illness. And I

(14:34):
really commend you know, the people like in California that
started looking into who was funding all the rioters, because
once they did, it all stopped right because those people
didn't work. They were getting paid to riot and they
were just loafing around all day, blocking the streets and
blocking the highways and blocking the roads for regular folks
like me and you that are trying to get to work.

(14:57):
I mean, it's just it's a it's an entire higher
cultural mindset in this country that we are unable to
just say what is happening and this whole thing of like,
you know, we are trying to take illegals out of
our country because you know, we don't like black and
brown people, and the only people in the detention center

(15:17):
are black and brown people. There's no Europeans there. Well,
let's talk about that for a minute. If the most
amount of crossings came from the southern border, and the
southern border borders Mexico and people from Latin America, not
just Latin America, because we did have people there from

(15:39):
China because the cartels were working with people in Mexico
and shipping people over from China. But that's a little
bit of a rabbit hole. But who do you expect
to be in the detention centers. There's a larger scale
of people coming from Ecuador, Honduras, uh Uruguay, and Mexico.

(16:04):
They're not coming from Croatia. So yeah, you're going to
see more people that are Hispanic. That's just the way
it is. And these Congress people are saying it like
it's a selective, you know, opportunity for the ICE agents
to go. Now this time, we're going to take five
whites and four blacks and three Hispanics. That's not what's happening.

(16:28):
They're rating places that they know have under you know,
underlying issues with cartels, money, laundering, human trafficking, sex trafficking,
labor trafficking, and the illegal use of minors for all
of it. So we should be we should be in
favor of this, We should be happy about this. We

(16:50):
should be saying, yes, go and save the children. But
they don't. They can't. And it's interesting, you know, if
we look at the way that illegal aliens were treated
when Obama and Biden were in office, and we look
at those detention centers, those were terrible detention centers. Those

(17:10):
people were wrapped up in tinfoil, They had no place
to go to the bathroom. The cages literally look like
something you would see outside for animals. Now we have
facilities where we're trying to keep people held until we
can figure out what is going on with their immigration status.
And it's not a perfect system, and nobody's saying it is,

(17:32):
but it took a long time to break it, so
it's going to take a little time to fix it.
And since we're just about six months and I think
we're doing okay, doesn't mean we're not going to have mistakes,
and some of them are going to be big. But
this whole idea that we are running Nazi camps I mean,
that's disgusting. Have you do not know your history at all?

(17:53):
I mean, just go read the diary of Van Frank.
You want to talk about what really happened, and you
really want to talk about how people had to hide
for their lives. These people are not hiding for their lives.
They came here willingly, They worked here illegally and made
a choice to not become legal. They had a long

(18:16):
time to become legal, they didn't. There's people who have
lived here for twenty thirty years and they'll tell you
I never learned the language. I've always worked. I always
send my money back. So they're repatriating funds to their
countries of origin. They're not putting money back into the system.
And then you wonder why our debt and deficitors so ridiculously. Hi,

(18:38):
That's why it is a serious struggle to talk to
people about the things that they're saying when everything they're
saying is so egregiously false. And I was saying to
the other day there should be accountability for them. There

(19:00):
should be some sort of I don't know, penalty for
lying when you're testifying or making a statement in front
of Congress. You know, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Zaia, Paul Rashida,
shalib Il had Omar. These are all terrible people. Then

(19:25):
you couple those idiots because they're like the newer idiots
with the Senator Warrens, the Senator Warners, Senator Cornyn, Senator Thune,
previously Senator McConnell, Speaker Pulos, Chuck Schumer. I mean, these
people have made a career out of lying on the
House floor. It's one thing to bend the truth so

(19:47):
that it sounds more like it's on your side and
that the Democrats are doing better than the Republicans. But
that's not what's happening. It's just out and outlying. They're
saying things that are not true, and nobody ever calls
them on it. Like if I was a reporter and
I was in some kind of gaggle and AOC was
saying things like they're just kept in horrible conditions, I

(20:09):
would say, Okay, so what justifies horrible to you? What's
horrible about it? What did you see? Well, they're in cages. Okay,
Well that was under Biden and Obama. They're not in
cages anymore. Now, they're at detention facilities. So they're places
with beds, cots, and bathrooms. What are you upset about?
Are you upset because we weren't letting them rome free.

(20:30):
What's more important American victims and their lives that were
taken too soon, unfairly in some cases, just the worst
and absolut most horrific way as possible by people who
never should have been here, or people who never should
have been here going through a process of being deported

(20:52):
and being given the option to work with DHS and
ICE so that they can come back legally. That's what
you're comparing to Nazi concentration camps. Is absolutely disgusting. Then
I think they should be charged. I think that for
every lie that they tell on the floor, they're charged
fifty to one hundred dollars. I guarantee you it will stop.

(21:15):
Without accountability. We cannot expect change because there is no
incentive to stop. So this is what we have to do.
We have to start making them It's almost like when
you swear and you got to put a dollar in
the cookie jar. You have to make them accountable. You
want to lie on the floors of Congress, no problem.
Fifty bucks for every lie you tell, fifty bucks and

(21:37):
I'm talking about out and out lies and saying stupid
things like the guy who says it's completely racist and
we're targeting black and brown people, or it's cages like
Nazi camps. Or the woman who said that she was kidnapped,
you know, by ice meanwhile, was all fake and stage
and the liberal media never corrects it. That's the stuff

(21:57):
we're talking about. And part of it is because we
have raised an entire generation of weak people, very weak
people who don't know how to stand out for themselves
and sure as hell know how to stand up for
the country. And to that point, I found a very
very funny piece of audio that I'm going to end
the show with tonight. I think you're really gonna enjoy it.

(22:17):
It's woke as a joke, meets your grandparents, pretty funny stuff.
Take a listen.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I just want to rest, Paul. Paul, you've been resting
since birth son shovels over there, Grandma.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I need a safe space. Go stand in the shed
and talk to Jesus.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I think I need a mental health day. Back in
my day, we called that Saturday.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I've got anxiety problems, sweetheart. When I had anxiety, I
called it Wednesday and kept on cooking.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
I'm having an existential crisis. Try having doubt and a mortgage, Grandma,
I need to find myself.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Try the mirror. Unless that's too Grandma, I've got low
self esteem.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
So do these biscuits still rise?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Anyway? I just got dumped again? So did last night's
cast role? Move on? How funny is that? Right? This
is the way that kids need to be raised. You
spend way too much time taking pictures of yourself, taking

(23:30):
pictures of your food, taking pictures of the sky, taking
pictures of I mean whatever, Go to work, read a book,
touch some grass. Dear God, enough already. I can't even imagine, honestly,
what would happen today if we were ever under attack.

(23:54):
I was talking to a friend yesterday and he said
to me, I have this new position, but I'm looking
for somebody fifty or older because I can't find anybody
younger that has the ability to work and think critically.
How sad is that? I was like, oh my god,
he said, I keep hiring them, and I have to

(24:15):
fire them because they're late, or they're on their phone,
or they're in the bathroom too long, because they have
to vape. Or whatever they're I mean, it's absurd. This
just isn't the way that real life works. It's just
not And at some point it's all going to come
back to bite U in the as, so we might
as well wake up now and try to fix it.
