Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Rogue Recap. Hot takes, cold facts, and
zero respect for the official narrative. Sit back, roll your eyes,
and let's recap Rogue Style.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
What's up? Welcome to the Rogue Recap and this edition
of Sound Bites. Eric decided to abandon all of us, you,
our audience, and me as well. He went on hiatus.
I don't actually know what he did. He looks well-rested.
I don't know. What do you guys think? He looks
super well-rested, right? I don't know, Eric. Are you well-rested?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well-rested and tan. So I think that's the important thing
as well. I was definitely hiding in plain sight, just
not in front of a computer screen. But thank you
for graciously welcoming me back with open arms, like the
gay Jesus or something, which I know seems sacrilegious until
you see one of the clips that we're going to
have later today.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, we have sort of a mishmash of topics today.
It's funny, I didn't know what I wanted to talk
about because, you know, we have people trying to take
over cockpits and stabbing each other, pilots and co-pilots. That's
a huge story today. And then we have other stories like,
you know, a friend of Dorothy's which Eric and I
both did not know what that meant. So I don't
(01:29):
know if that means that we're just huge prudes or
I'm not sure. I was unaware of this term.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I guess I think Friend of Dorothy was the original
name for that COVID cautious lesbian bar in Massachusetts. You
know what I mean? And then it didn't work. So
then they made it last ditch because a Friend of
Dorothy was apparently, you know, too many different 10 men
showing up. And it's for the Dorothys only.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I think.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
We're going to play this clip for you because we
can't explain it. And I have to say, I'm actually
really excited that I cannot explain it. I'm actually proud
of that. So we're going to play this clip for
you and we'll talk about it on the other side.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I invite you to imagine this evening's reading from John's
gospel through the lens or the experience of.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
A queer Lazarus. Now with a line like Lazarus, come out.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
It does not take a lot of imagination to think
that perhaps Lazarus identified as gay.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Since the term homosexual did not.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Exist to label people at this point in history, one
would have to look for context clues to authenticate that assumption.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Looking both at what.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Is present in the text, but also in this case.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
What is absent.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
For example, There is no mention of Lazarus having a
wife or children to mourn him. This was in a
time and place and culture where having this kind of
household wasn't just normative, it was also somewhat of a
priority for population growth. So Lazarus, a bachelor living with
(03:18):
his spinster sisters, and I'm curious about that too, but
that's another sermon, was definitely queering the norm. And he
was a good friend of Jesus. Not a student or disciple,
but a friend, which in my mind's eye ranks right
(03:40):
up there with being a friend of Dorothy. So you
can see it too now, right?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You can imagine this.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Because it does not take a lot of imagination to
queer the narratives. What it does take a lot of, however,
is courage.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So, aside from her ridiculously pregnant pauses, which are very
uncomfortable for everyone, I have to say, I had no
idea that two men being friends meant that they were
queer-centric or interested in each other. I thought that dudes
could just be buddies. I didn't know that it was
required for Jesus to be queer-curious friends. To have a friend.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah, that's one of the things. Like, when you're younger,
you kind of have fun with the idea of Jonathan
and David and their very close relationship. But then, you know,
you get old and you learn, like, no, it's actually, like,
it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's a brotherhood.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah. What I like is that she's like, imagine. Because
I'm not sure that, like, that's what Jesus or God,
through his written word, calls us to do is, like,
try to interpret the timeless, authoritative truth of God's word differently.
Through modern lenses. And I like how she's using the phrase, like,
come out, which is a modern kind of phrasing, which
(04:57):
would have nothing to do. By the way, that's a
modern phrasing in the English language, not, you know, three
translations removed from the Gospel of John.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, I know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Like, it's insane. And so it's clearly like, what's the whole,
what point are you trying to make? And I would
just say, to me, the most profound disservice that priest
is doing to her congregation is imagining or kind of
distracting from the actual point of that story, which is
(05:27):
that Jesus' love for those who love him and his
ability to perform miracles and transcend the physical boundaries of
this sinful world. So that, to me, is the point.
Not that we should be trying to queer any narrative.
But what do I know? I'm certainly not a priest.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No, listen, you know, one thing I will tell this
audience is that Eric Eggers is in Bible study. He
and I both started reading the Bible. I was reading
it for the first time and he was in the
word and we were, you know, doing the whole Bible
in a year thing to understand what God's word was
to the best of our ability, not to modernize it,
(06:03):
not to put it through some sort of filter of
the modern lens. It just was to truly try to
understand and read the book Period. And I think that's
the biggest problem that we have. What's interesting is she
begins with this sleight of hand tone and she goes, well,
you know, maybe he was a homosexual, but we don't
know because they didn't have labels then. Meanwhile, that's exactly
(06:25):
what you're trying to do is put a label on
poor Lazarus, who's just trying to be buddies with Jesus.
And you're like, oh, he's queer. He's come out. now
means this. No, come out doesn't mean that. Come out
doesn't mean that at all. That's just what you're making
it because that whole ideological group is so funny to me.
Don't label me. Don't put me in a box. Don't
(06:47):
put me in a corner. You guys have more labels,
more letters, more acronyms than any other group known to man.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mean, am I wrong? No, you're not wrong. And
what's interesting is that she's preaching from the gospel of John,
which actually it's oddly or perhaps serendipitously, we actually talked
about that in my Bible study this morning, and specifically
the parallel of the Gospel of John with Genesis, and
how the first phrase in the Bible is like, in
the beginning, you know, and then in the first words
(07:14):
in the New Testament is John, even though it was
written after the other Gospels, but it says, in the
beginning there was the Word, and the point they're trying
to make is the Word, God, Jesus, has been with
us since the creation, and Genesis ends with after God
has made man and woman. He's like, there are two things,
male and female. So these are timeless truths that get
obscured in the modern church. And the point that the
(07:35):
pastor of the church I go to said this morning was,
a lot of these churches, they end up kind of slippery.
They slide down the slope once they have female pastors.
And you said that this is consistent with the mistake
we make as a society when we put women in
male's roles, I think.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I have very strong feelings about this. And It gets
me in trouble with a lot of my girlfriends as
well as my female colleagues, which is just like I
don't want to see men in the WNBA. I don't
want a female police officer. I don't want a female
firefighter because when the shit hits the fan and you've
(08:10):
got to rescue somebody and they're three and four times
your weight. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule where
they're extremely strong, fast, superb women in these roles. But
I don't really care about those exceptions because you know what?
The exceptions are far and few in between. I care
about the rule. And the rule is don't do that
because when my life is on the line, I don't
(08:32):
want it to be that your skinny little arms can't
pick me up because I don't know, you're a chick.
Like there has to be some, please. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
There was a clip I think from a Mets game
recently where they had like a baseball player was hurt
and like seriously. And so they had like come out
And get him on like a stretcher. And then like
one of the people doing it was a short, squatty female.
And they literally kind of couldn't get the stretcher up
to the right height.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's just, we all remember the images from Butler and
with the female agents not coming up to Donald Trump's head, right?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You cannot reach. I'm sorry. Can we get an Amazonian
woman if we're getting one? Can we get the six
foot three broad that is able to stand taller than
Donald Trump? These are the things. The facts do not
care about your feelings. I don't either. At the end
of the day, there has to be a spot for everybody.
There are some roles that are not dependent on gender.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
There are.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And then there are some that are completely dependent on gender.
And I'm sorry, a man is biologically stronger than a woman.
That applies everywhere. So if you want to be a detective,
if you want to go into, I don't know, you've
watched a lot of CSI, you want to be in
the labs, you want to do forensic analysis, I am
all in on that. Can we please let very strong
(09:47):
men be out tackling the criminals. Unless you got Ronda
Rousey on your patrol, I don't know. You know what
I'm saying? Again, it's so frustrating to me to not
be able to have common sense conversations. And I am
one of those people, right? I'm the CEO of a business.
I am a very successful, very blessed woman. But I
(10:09):
am not trying to lift a 300-pound man out of
a burning building through a window on a ladder. That
man is going to fall. I am going to drop him.
He will die. And then what? Because somebody wanted to
fill a DEI gender role requirement. This broad is trying
to pretend to be a priest. She's wearing the collar.
She's got the, you know, first of all, the Dickey
(10:31):
is ginormous. I'm like, what? It's like, it's like, I'm
a priest. It's so freaking big. I'm like, bro, how
big is your neck? That's not even the right size.
I go to, I'm a practicing Catholic. I go to
a Catholic church. Most of other churches, when I go
to them, they're not all wearing Dickey. Like that, what
I would consider to be synonymous with the Catholic faith.
Hers is like huge. And then she's got some weird
(10:54):
scarf thing going on where I guess she's trying to
attribute that to some form of religion. I mean, she
looks like she's wearing a Christmas tree for God's sakes.
Could you just stop? I really wish that they would
do like alternative religion titles and say like, I am
the high priestess here. You're welcome. And give herself some
(11:14):
weird Zulu name and keep it moving. I'm just over it.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, at black churches, they call the wife of the
pastor the first lady. I'm always a big fan of
that one. Really? Oh, yeah, it's great. So, I know.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
But you're right. I hadn't noticed the collar size, but
you're right. It's almost like she's compensating for something.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
She is compensating.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Except we know exactly what she's compensating for.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, the fact that she's not a dude. Could you please?
I just... I don't have a problem with women in
the church. My youngest son is currently taking religious studies
from a lovely woman in our Catholic church, and she
knows the Bible and the Catholic faith inside and out
better than anybody else I know. But at the end
of the day, she's not up at the altar. The
(11:57):
priest is, and he's a dude. Last time I checked.
So I have problems with this. I know a lot
of people will find that to be very uncomfortable. I
also have a problem with female coaches in football. Big problem.
Please get off the field, ladies. please go coach a
female sport. My son is currently playing American football in England.
(12:17):
I get to the practice and there is a female
offensive coach. I'm like, what are you doing here? Did
you get lost? Is cheerleading around the back?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm like, I have no, I'm like, I got nothing
for you. And I don't know if that's because they
don't understand American football or there was some confusion about
how we do things, but I do have an issue.
I also have an issue with female reporters on the
sidelines at the games. in skin tight dresses, you know,
boatloads of makeup. And they get the first question from
(12:46):
the coach or the quarterback or the running back or
whoever was the star player in the game. I'm like,
can you just please get out of the locker room?
Can we not have these? I just, right. It's frustrating.
I'm so sick. Like we took equality and then like,
we just threw it through the grinder of shit of
(13:06):
all the other things we could add onto it. And
it's unnecessary. What are we proving? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
One of my daughter's favorite Simpson episodes is one where
Homer's trying to grow a crop. And so he has
like some tobacco seeds and some tomato seeds. And then
he goes and goes to the nuclear plant and puts
like nuclear radioactive stuff on the thing. And what it
grows is this plant called tobacco. So it's like a
part tomato, part tobacco. But it's like, yeah, we put
(13:31):
equality through this radioactive growth period. And now we have
some weird hybrid that's not healthy for anybody, but it
kind of vaguely resembles what we want it to be.
I'd say that's the metaphor I would choose for this era.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And I do, I mean, I really do just feel
like there are some sports, like for example, and then
I'll get off my high horse on this. If there
is a cross gender sport, I think it's fine to
have either sex as a coach, lacrosse, softball, gymnastics.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Uh, uh, Maybe judo. You're running out of sports. You know,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
But football?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
No, no. It's like, you know, like if you want
to be like the special teams coach, like, okay, this
is how you kick the thing or whatever. But then
you're really going to listen to a female coach O-line
or D-line and, you know, proper.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Technique and all that.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No, it's.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I mean, it's really, it's actually offensive to me. I'm like,
you're 130 pounds soaking wet. You're in a track suit.
I'm uncomfortable for you. It's weird. Please stop. So that's
my spiel on that. All you feminists can piss off.
I don't really care what you think anyway, because you're
too busy out there talking about your vaginas all the time.
Like enough. Meritocracy is where it's at. Please. If you're
(14:48):
good enough, you're good enough. Most of the time, there
are some biological things that set us apart and I'm
grateful for them. I really enjoy not having to lift
really heavy things and looking at my very strong husband
and saying, hey, can you get that for me? Thank you.
It's going to be much easier for you. And he
does it and it's fine. And no one feels offended.
(15:08):
I really like that. It works for me.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, I don't have a problem with female referees as
a concept because like all you have to do is
kind of stand and watch. But it does seem like
they're intentional about having a female referee all the time now.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
That I think seems all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah. It's not about the right person for the job.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's about picking a person to make a statement. For example,
and this is really my last point. We now have
dudes in the NFL on the cheerleading squads. They started
it a little bit last season. Now I have been
not watching the NFL because of all of the take
a knee shit. I wasn't a fan then. So we have,
we were more NCAA folks in our house for Saturday people.
(15:51):
We watch all the games on Sunday because our boys
all play football. So we're at the college games, but
we don't watch the NFL. Now my little guy loves
our home team. So he wants to see some of
the NFL. Now, few, I guess it was the first game,
one of the first games of the season. And we
turn it on and it's like the pregame or whatever.
And I see Mr. Shake my ass like I'm a woman.
(16:13):
And I'm like, I'm sorry, what is who's that? And
what's happening? And I realized that there are three or
four teams in the NFL that have now aggregated themselves.
These men pretending to dance like women. They're not dancing
like men. And they're not part of the cheerleading squad
(16:33):
where like they're the strong arm where they're lifting you
to do flips.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
They're not those guys because those guys are badass. I'm
all about that. You do you. This isn't that. This
is like Mr. You know, Shakira hips don't lie. And
I'm like, why? It's so uncomfortable. Why are you dancing
like that? You're a dude. This is the NFL. The NFL,
when they brought the mariachi band on Monday night to
(16:58):
play the anthem. What are you doing? Are you just
trying to... It's just too far.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You were the first one to clue me in that
the NFL was having problems with a lot of conservatives.
And I was actually at a conference a couple weeks ago.
And these are guys who live in Tennessee, you know, Marines.
And so there's a... I mean, this is where they
have an NFL franchise. And I asked them, like, do
you guys watch the Titans? And they go, no. And
it's not because the Titans are terrible, which they are.
But it's because... He said, no, man. He's like, once
those guys took a knee, you know, he's like, I
(17:27):
lost too many people who died for those colors. And
so it's... I was... I remain surprised, but you have
been on this for some time and it does seem
like they are.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
They've lost an audience.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
They're not trying to win people back, right?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
No, they have lost an audience. And it's so funny
to me to see Goodell going around the world in Australia,
in England, you know, seeing these different teams.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And by the way, like when you go international, I mean,
you're engaging more with the world culture, right? So you're
going to kind of push them. And that's the market
where they're trying to grow internationally. So maybe that's actually
part of the whole strategy underneath it. It's monetary.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's interesting that you say that because while I was
in England and traveling, you know, and we were far away,
it was like a 12 hour trip from the States and,
you know, out in the countryside, but we had to
travel through London, which is London stand now, for those
of you who have not been, it is disgusting, but
there is this lack of awareness in general of just
(18:25):
how woke it is there. And so like, if you're there,
When you talk to the every people on the ground,
it's interesting. They're nothing like the government. It's very similar
to us here. We're like the CBS, the NBC, you know,
the Ackerman alphabet city of the news media will tell you,
this is what Americans think. And then you go to
America's like, I don't give a shit about that. I
(18:46):
don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Who are you? What?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
That's exactly what happened to me. Now, mind you, that
Cockney accent, forget about it. I lost so much in translation.
I was like, is that English? I'm really sorry. One
more time. I was like, and like the way that they,
the way they change words and they, they abbreviate them
and then they conjugate them. I'm like, I don't think
(19:08):
those words actually go together, but cool.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
All right.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I'm going to work this through. You seem nice. But
I got the big part, which was, you know, he's
a wanker or that guy, that bloke is this, or,
you know, like it was funny to see how much
like us they are in the fact that they hate
the woke culture.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Dude, what do you think they're saying about you? Like what, what,
what derivative of English is this accent over here? It's
so funny. From Yonkers McLaughlin over here.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I walked into the hotel and I was like, how's
everybody doing today? And they were like, oh. I'm like,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
It actually is amazing. And I know this exists for
other languages, but we don't speak those other languages. But
I remember leaving from Scotland, like up in the Glasgow area,
got on a train, went down to London, and then
flew into Atlanta. And so from Scotland to then London
to then the dudes working the terminal in Atlanta, I
(20:00):
was like, man, we are all speaking the same language.
But it's not that similar. The accents, the language, everything
is so different. Um, and I was like, it's, you know,
it's one of the things I love about English.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's amazing to me, even across this country, how different
the accents are and the dialects are and all the things.
And I, I get a kick out of that kind
of stuff. I love what I don't love is just this,
you know, the, we must diversify. We must be completely
and totally one way or the other. And, you know,
the hiring practices and the school selections and the, We've
(20:33):
gone so far to the other side, and I just
think it's a very sad state of affairs, and it
is everywhere. But what I do love is there is
a growing and thriving consensus of people who are on
the uprise and are going, it's enough, guys. I'm done.
I'm tapping out.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Well, you think it's bad here. To your point, it's much,
much worse over there. And so I think that's what
it is when you're confronted with and by– the manifestation,
and it kind of connected back to the clip, like
when you're confronted by the manifestation in real life of
this ideological kind of unchecked growth.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
And now our lives are impacted as a result of it.
You know, you got the Islamic migration. You've got, you know,
you can't say things online. You can go to prison.
You've got these gang rapes that are happening and the
people that call them out are the ones that get
penalized for it. No, it's insane. And so that's what
people are realizing. This is not what society is supposed
to look like.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
No.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And I think this week has been, in my opinion,
a real red flag for America as we approach 34
days now until the midterm elections. We're recording this on Wednesday,
September 30th. If you're talking about these attackers that were
foiled by this farmer in England, who's like, hey, I
see some guys, they look, you know, sort of unsavory
(21:52):
and they are creeping around and they're in this van
and we're back in this country road and it's by
the airport and all the things. Had that person not
reported it, God knows what would have happened. And so
they bring them in, they arrest them. And then, you know,
the woman who's heading up their oversight, sort of like
their commissioner there, is a raging Islamic radical. And so
(22:14):
has spent a ton of time in Iran and Pakistan
and Afghanistan praising the Muslim culture.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And then says, oh, we don't need to identify them
as whatever they are. They're just UK nationals. No, they're
not UK nationals. They're illegal aliens from Middle Eastern countries
that you've allowed to come here because you are trying
to propagate a certain kind of way here in the UK.
And then Danny Tomo, who goes out into international waters
(22:41):
and slashes their boat, which they're bringing illegal aliens in
on so that they can stop raping the women and
children of his country is now sitting in prison with
no due process with nothing. And so you, You're hard
pressed to not be honest about what is on the table.
There are rapists. There are traffickers. There are people dealing
(23:03):
in the most violent of drugs and criminalities, and they
are being let out because they're Muslim. Because that entire
city of London and now the broader outreach of all
those municipalities are being run by these people from nations
that have absolutely no desire to assimilate. Just the opposite.
They're looking to dominate. They want to come in and
(23:23):
they want to take control. Same thing last night with
this flight headed towards, you know, Dubai and it's going
to do this pit stop in Israel, except it's going
to crash into something. The co-pilot starts stabbing the pilot.
The passengers have to, I mean, what is happening? And
everybody's covered in blood. The BBC covers it and says
there was a tense argument between the co-pilot and the pilot.
(23:46):
Holy shit. Tell me that you are biased. My God.
At some point, guys, Do you not realize that you
are not on the right side of history? You're also
not a part of the group, guys. You can try
as hard as you want. But, you know, Miss Ethel
from BBC, you're not blending. Like, they're not fans of
yours either. You know, like, I just, oh, it's frustrating, Eric.
(24:11):
You know, it really, it's really frustrating. So, all right,
who should we move on to next?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
We have a lot of crazy people here today. Should
we do crazy people? Should we do the Joker face
or should we do?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, I think the Joker thing because the Joker thing
is like is these people adjacent.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah. You've got people who are frustrated on the right.
You've got people who are frustrated by this, like the
diversity and the way it's kind of impacting regular people's life.
And on the left, you have these people said, OK, well, actually,
it's the right people who are in charge of society.
So we're going to show them we're going to mess
up their effort to get reelected. But I like their plan.
I actually feel like this might be a double agent.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, there's something really weird going on here. Everybody, full disclosure,
we'll give a disclaimer. It's a super scary face, so
just get ready.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Is that like real or is that AI? I mean, A,
it could be AI now. B, do we really think
there's going to be no truck drivers on the road
on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, I don't think anyone's listening to him. Anybody who
spent that much time in the bathroom putting on Joker makeup,
it's not even that well done. And he's, I mean,
it's like a Heath Ledger wannabe. It's very weird.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
It's, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I struggle with people who think that they can actually
get millions of people to put their phones down and
not have streaming.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I always say- Yeah, we should have known it was
done then, you know? I was like, bro. A million
people could put their phone down? No chance.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I saw a meme the other day and it was
Jesus Christ and he had his hand out and he goes, okay,
give me the phone. Give it to me. You've had enough,
you know? Because it's true, right? Like you don't go anywhere.
You don't do anything without your phone. And now it's
all the time, everywhere. You're constantly tracking. You know, your
license has an RFID barcode in it and it has
(27:07):
a tracker, obviously, because that's what RFID is. And then
your passport has an RFID and then your phone is
tracking you. Oh, and your car is tracking you. I'm like,
what is going on? I mean, I am in that
spot now where I'm like, I need to go to
like a junkyard and buy an old car that I
can just drive around and not have this problem. Because
I feel like you can't. There's the flock cameras everywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, but that's the point. you don't even need flock
cameras anymore. Like guys, you don't need them. You already
have every, I know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And that's the weird thing too, is that these flock cameras,
first of all, they make so many mistakes. I mean,
these people are, they're going to get the shit suit
out of them. I'm like, what is going on? That
poor woman in Florida, I'm sure you know that story.
And I mean, literally in, in prison for 86 hours
for a hit and run that she was never in.
And they clearly didn't match the, Any of the footage,
(27:59):
she didn't look like the person they had the picture of,
and they still put her in jail for 86 hours
with no means of communication. Like, where is due process
in America?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It's very scary. No, that's literally the point. We just
had a ticket thrown out in the county I live
in because somebody was able to prove, like, the cop
couldn't say when it happened, you know? And it was
one of those, like, school zone red light cameras or things. So, no,
I think that's the whole point is, and I think
even amid the conversation we're having about AI, and maybe
this was set up for the next clip, I think
that people are realizing we still need humans involved. And
(28:30):
I think that's gotta be true for any kind of
law enforcement activity. Like a human should be the one
to engage with whatever intelligence or information AI or these
computers can provide. And ultimately humans have to be in
charge of deciding what software, what programs, what models are
deployed also.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, but it can't be the humans that are part
of like the DSA woke.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Cult, right?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
There has to, it's kind of like when you say,
We need people to be able to oversee what is
happening in the adjudication of ballots. We need an independent.
We need a Democrat. We need a Republican. Well, when
we're looking at these cameras, we need somebody from every
side of the aisle. Like we need equal opportunity haters.
Like everybody's got to get in a room and look
at this footage and say, yeah, sorry, dude, that is
(29:14):
not the same person. I don't know where those people are.
And even in this next clip that we're going to
play from New Mexico, there is a real, driving force
behind removing people's rights. Your first amendment, your second amendment,
your rights in general are second place to the greater good.
I'm like, yeah, but who's deciding that? Who's deciding the
(29:34):
greater good? Who's in charge of that? But so far,
I don't like it. I mean, you know, in any event,
take a look at this one. Yeah. But your point
is valid. You took an oath to the constitution.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Isn't it unconstitutional to say you cannot exercise your carry license?
Speaker 6 (29:53):
With one exception. And that is, if there's an emergency,
and I've declared an emergency for a temporary amount of time,
I can invoke additional powers. No constitutional right, in my view,
including my oath, is intended to be absolute. There are
restrictions on free speech. There are restrictions on my freedoms.
(30:16):
In this emergency, this 11-year-old and all these parents who
have lost all these children, they deserve my attention. to
have the debate about whether or not in an emergency
we can create a safer environment. Because what about their
constitutional rights? I took an oath to uphold those too.
(30:37):
And if we ignore this growing problem without being.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Bold, I've said to every other New.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Mexican, your rights are subrogated to theirs. And they are not,
in my view.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You're talking about crimes.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
There are already laws against crimes.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
But again, if I'm unsafe, who's standing up for that right?
If this climate is so out of control, somebody should
do something.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I'm doing as much as I know to do. Do
you really think that criminals are going to hear this
message and not carry a gun in Albuquerque on the
streets for 30 days? No. But here's what I do think.
It's a pretty resounding message. It's a good message. I
(31:31):
wonder if she went to the school of Kamala Harris messaging.
I'm going to say absolutely nothing. I'm going to talk
for three minutes and say absolutely nothing that makes any sense.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
It's the same logic that they use during COVID to
kind of force people to stay home, even because conceptually
they might pose a threat, even though they're performing perfectly
legal behaviors against something that we've designated one class as vulnerable.
And so everyone else has to kind of abide by
this new set of rules because we've declared it an emergency.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
And I think, too, this idea that your rights are
not allowed to supersede my rights and so Okay, but
you just said that the laws that you are now
trying to enforce as an overhaul of the Constitution will
actually not be adhered to by the very people to
(32:20):
whom you are trying to... Yeah, but it's a resounding message. What? No,
it's not. They're going to carry illegal weapons. 90% of
crimes are committed by illegal weapons. We never talk about
those crimes that are thwarted by those who are legally...
carrying concealed carry firearms. They never talk about that. They
(32:43):
never talk about the fact that the gun that was
used in XYZ incident had a scratched off serial number
and was bought on the black market. That is not
fair because law abiding gun carrying American citizens are not
using their guns to go around shooting people in crimes.
They're using it to protect their homes. They're using it
when they go to church because our churches keep getting
(33:05):
attacked by people who hate Christianity. When we go to
church on Sunday morning, my husband and I both have
our guns. Not because we want to shoot up the church.
We want to kill the guy who wants to shoot
up the church. So God forbid he comes in while
we're kneeling and praying and actually doing the right thing.
He comes in behind and he's like, Allahu Akbar, or
I hate Christianity. I'm a DSA Antifa radical. We can
(33:28):
turn around and say, get on your knees and be
able to defend the church, right? This is why we
have armed security everywhere. This idea that we're disarming the
bad guy is so stupid. And she even admits it
at the end of all that nonsense.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
That's the best part. It's a great question by the reporter.
So do you think this is actually going to keep
illegals from carrying guns?
Speaker 7 (33:45):
No.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
So send the message. Well, who is it sending the
message to? The people that are going to follow the law?
It's so weird, but welcome to leftist logic.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
And to that point, and you dovetailed it perfectly into
talking about the COVID lockdowns and saying things like people
are like, well, You can't come out if you're not vaccinated. Well,
if you're vaccinated and you think you're covered, why do
I have to be vaccinated? Isn't your vaccine working? What's
the science behind that? Those conversations were so cyclical and
annoying when you would talk to people about those real
(34:16):
questions and say to them, well, you got the shot, right? Yeah,
you got your 18 boosters. You feeling good? All right, cool.
So you're fine. You don't gotta worry about me. If
I'm gonna die from COVID and you're protected, then we're fine.
Only now to have these round tables Like we're having
with Senator Ron Johnson, who, to his credit, has been
on this from go. He has definitely been the lone
(34:39):
senator who had the balls to stand with those people
who said, I'm not about it. And he's actually carried
through on that. And they had this roundtable with all
of the people who were either adversely affected personally, had
a family member who has passed, unfortunately, due to the
actions of the then government. And so now they're speaking
out and they're being heard. There's one clip that we're
(35:00):
going to play here. This is an attorney who testified
and he talked about how he had two groups of people.
This is heartbreaking. Oh, my God. Yeah. When you hear it,
it's long. It's a couple of minutes, but it's worth
your time. This guy has there's no dog in the
race for him. He's just literally telling you what he
went through as he tried to fight for people, people
(35:23):
he didn't know, people that were complete strangers. And it's
really sad.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
I was contacted by the International COVID Summit, which originates
out of Rome and had 25 doctors from around the
globe every Wednesday in a virtual meeting. Those doctors would
testify that they didn't lose anybody because they used hydroxychloroquine
or ivermectin right from the very beginning. In all, I
(35:52):
represented 212 families across 40 states. Of the 212 cases,
I won 72 where ivermectin.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Was actually given.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
I won others where they refused. But I won 72
where ivermectin was actually given. Only three people died. That
is a 95.8% success rate on survival. Tragically, of the
140 cases where I couldn't get into court quick enough
or I lost, every single person died. There are so
(36:30):
many stories that I could tell you regarding the one-year experience.
It turned into seven days a week, 10 hours a day,
but it was the best experience of my life. I
believe I was able to help people and save lives.
I believe that Dr. Pierre Corey, Dr. Paul Merrick, Dr.
Robert Malone, Dr. Alan Bain, Dr. Mary Bowden, and so
(36:52):
many others are the great heroes here. They all sacrificed
so much to give us help.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Dr.
Speaker 7 (36:59):
Corey, took my calls morning, noon, and night. He was
always there to help. He gave me an affidavit that
was so emphatic that convinced judges. I believe that our
healthcare system needs great modification. We need a National Right
to Try Act that includes off-purpose drugs. This is no
(37:21):
longer about COVID or ivermectin. This is about medical freedom
and the right to try. This is about governmental suppression
and how big giants like Big Pharma control our destiny.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
So we'll go right into Senator Johnson talking about ivermectin.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
One of the questions we're asking and trying to investigate
is who inside the FDA, who thought of the idea,
who initiated it, who wrote, and who approved the tweet
of a Nobel award-winning drug that, again, billions of doses,
was effective, but the FDA sabotaged with the, you're not
(38:16):
a horse, you're not a cow, come on, y'all, stop it.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I mean, who.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Inside the FDA did that? How many lives did that
tweet cost? That's what I wanted. How many people's lives
did that one tweet, by the way, is the most
looked at tweet that the FDA has ever published. How
(38:42):
many people died because they were denied access to this safe, cheap,
effective generic drug?
Speaker 3 (38:53):
And you won't hear coverage of either of those things.
by regular news outlets because they tend to be heavily
populated with advertisements from those pharmaceutical companies.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, I think the conflict of interest, I know for
a while RFK was pushing pretty stringently to have pharmaceutical
ads removed from television.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
But that was never going to happen. I mean, we
talked about that before. That was never going to happen.
The amount of money they spend on that, we're one
of only two countries in the world that even allow
them in the first place They've got their foot in
the door and it's way too much money for a
corporate news environment that's already failing. But that first clip
with the testimony and like, hey, look, I mean, that
to me should be, and that's from, I mean, that's
(39:40):
from this week. That's from 2026. There's somebody who's saying, look,
this is a thing that happened. I know. And I
just think that you should hear that. Forget the whole Yeah,
forget about hearing it on cable news. You should be
hearing it on lots of different podcasts. People get their
news from all over the place, and I haven't seen
that hardly anywhere.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I have a steadfast interest in seeing Fauci, Peter Danzig,
Fauci's wife, and every single person who aided and abetted
these people. I want to see them go down because
they are responsible for the murders of so many. I
am a firm believer, and I stand behind this. I
said it during the Butler attack on our president. I'm
(40:17):
saying it now when I'm looking at yesterday, 50 people
over the age of 80 arrested at a protest in
England against what's happening to Danny Tomo over the age
of 80 out in walkers, wheelchairs and canes screaming for
their rights because they're being attacked. Women in their 80s
(40:39):
are being raped by men in their 30s from these
third world countries who don't care. We are seeing such
an annihilation of humanity. And Fauci is no different than
any of those people. You take human life and you
throw it away, whether it was he was killing beagles,
whether he was doing his AIDS research, whether he was
(41:03):
doing whatever he was doing with the Echo Health Alliance,
what he was doing with the Wuhan Virology Labs in China.
There is so much. And now we have diaries of
all of these things In his own words. We don't
need to prove anything. He's proved it for us. And
this idiot did it on government email. So you know what?
(41:24):
Your private diary, it's public. It belongs to the public,
quite frankly, because we pay the taxes that supply the
government with the computer, with the emails for you to
write your bullshit. So guess what? Turn to page two
and start reading because this guy wrote it all out
for you. Just lock them up forever. The fact that
he is walking around when all these people are six
feet under is It is infuriating. I don't know why
(41:46):
he's allowed to do anything. That trash can that I
saw him and his wife, just put them in the
trash can. Put the two of them in the trash can.
Take them to the freaking dump and leave them there. Anyways,
but I was blessed to hear this testimony. I was
grateful to watch that hearing. And I really thought that
those people were very brave, especially those doctors like Dr.
(42:08):
Pierre Corey. He's incredible.
Speaker 5 (42:09):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Dr. Malone, incredible.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Dr.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Brian Tyson, incredible. George Farid, incredible. And these are people
who lost their medical licenses to practice.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's insane. And had to go to the Supreme Court
to get it back because they save lives. I'm like,
why are we taking away their medical licenses? What is
going on? And we want to elect people to governor
and to seats in the Senate and Congress who believe
in gender mutilating surgeries for, I don't know, eight-year-olds. Those
(42:40):
are the doctors we want.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
And if they faced anything like a fraction of the
consequences from a medical licensure standpoint that those people do
who just want to prescribe a legal medicine for patients
who is, right? So, and they faced all kinds of
revocation of licensing, their career suffered. But if the opposite happened, right?
People that were okay with gender affirming surgeries for minor children, then,
(43:04):
you know, and they face any kind of consequences and
those people would be canceled. It's insane. I mean, that's
the kind of the common theme. What I like, Linda,
is I hope you feel better. I know you said
it's been 12 days since you're in this particular office.
And I can tell because I can tell that there's
a lot to Linda today.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
There's a lot of percolation.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
I hope this podcast has been regulating for you. I
think everyone else is going to be like, man, Linda's
all right. Because I had to get it out today.
I had to get it out.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
I'm doing two more after this because I'm so behind.
I'm like, listen, guys, I got a lot to say.
We got to do subject matter stuff. We got one
more clip for you today. This is a silly clip.
I don't know if you guys are paying attention to the,
you know, paparazzi world. Eric and I typically don't, but
our friend Miranda Devine reposted this. So it popped up
(43:53):
in my feed. I actually thought it was AI. I
didn't think it was real. So do you want to
preset anything here as well?
Speaker 3 (44:00):
No, I think, yeah, I think we have to kind
of let it just speak for itself. It is, it's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Yeah. So for those of you listening and not watching,
the clip we're about to play is of Madonna. who
went out in a onesie and has no pants on
and looks like she's struggling with life just a bit.
(44:30):
I mean, is she drunk?
Speaker 3 (44:32):
So not the first senior citizen to wander around in
public with no pants on and seem kind of aimless
and clueless, but maybe... the biggest audience to do that
in front of since Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
I mean, you know, she was feted at a music
award ceremony, I believe recently. So it's interesting to me
that she is having a moment, but it's, I think
the rest of the country, most of the country has,
I think, moved on. I think the biggest comment I
saw was, girl, put some pants on.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Put some pants on. Who did that to her? It's like,
I always say, like, you don't have one friend. You
don't have one friend to come up to you and go, Madonna.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Pants. Pants.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
It, it's a thing now people wear them. You're going to,
you know, the days of gyrating to, you know, a
material girl on stage. Like we were past that now,
you know, your two, two days we're done, but pants,
she would look so much better, you know, anyways. And
her face is weird too. I don't know what's going
on with that. I feel so bad for women who
do these things to their face. That's another show entirely,
(45:29):
but it's, it's painful. So We hope you've enjoyed this
edition of Sound Bites. I'm Linda McLaughlin. He is Eric
Eggers at Eric underscore Eggers.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
And I just want to point out that even though
we're not in public, we both have pants on. Yes. So,
you know, we're very much not like Madonna that way.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
We are not like Jeffrey Toobin either. We like pants.
We're all about the pants. Anyways, check us out, roguerecap.com.
And I'm at Linda Mick at The Rogue Recap. And
we will see you next week, assuming Eric shows up
for work.
