Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hot takes, cold facts and zero respect for the official narrative.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Sit back, roll your eyes and let's recap rogue style.
(00:30):
What's up everybody, and welcome to the Rogue Recap. I
am Linda McLaughlin here with my buddy and co host
Eric Eggers.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Hello, Eric, Linda.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
The world continues to be insane and you continue to
be able to find out clips. I want to tell
everybody today's a very special episode. Not only will there
be the typical kind of like snarky and like can
you believe how ridiculous this is? You're going to learn
some stuff today, right, We're gonna learn some stuff. We're
gonna work in stuff about immigration policy and Broadway musicals.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
And I want to just say, full disclosure, most of
these clips Eric hasn't seen yet because when I did
the show prep, I didn't send them all to him.
So today, as we were prepping for the show, he's like, yo, girls,
six clips, all right, keeping it tight, And I was like,
that seems a little light. I don't think I did six,
But so we started rolling through them and prepping and
he was like, you definitely did not send me this shit,
So apologies in advance. You are about to see the
(01:21):
Jeopardy version of this show because Eric's Wickett smart and
he's going to do it on the fly on some
of these.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
So I'll take I'll take things Lenna should have sent
me an hour ago for a thousand.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So we're gonna jump right in. As you guys know,
we are incredibly upset about what's happening with immigration, specifically
illegal immigration. There is a difference. What are we not
allowed to call them? Now? The Democrats say we can't
call them illegals they're undocumented, and then you can't call
them aliens because they're humans. I'm going to tell your
I'm can call them whatever I want. So these people
(01:53):
are illegals, they are aliens, they are illegal aliens, they
are illegal immigrants, they are all things that should not
be here because there's a bunch of people waiting in
line to do it the right way? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
But in Europe, Linda, they're called welcomed guests. Yeah, that's
the key difference, right, And so Europe has rolled out
the welcome Matt, and the Welcome Matt has turned into
an aircraft carrier traveling from one continent, Africa, I think
specifically to Europe.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, so we're going to play for those of you listening,
we invite you to please when you get a minute
to take a look. This is a This has no
audio of this clip, but I found it and it's
basically a map. I think it started twenty twenty is
when they started it, and it just shows on like
little black dots floating over this map, these illegal immigrants
coming from five or six different countries, and how it
(02:41):
increased over the course of five to six years. And
it is frightening. Take a look at this and we
will tell you. Oh no, it starts twenty ten, twenty ten,
excuse me, but it shows you like Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan,
all countries that are super copastic with all things Western culture, democracy,
(03:02):
you know, different religions. They love that stuff. Right.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, it's wild because like Elon Musk quote tweeted this
and said, that's a lot of illegal immigrants, and I,
you know, my first thought, just coming from my background
I saw it, I was like, well, the good Newsland is,
despite the fact that there's millions of people coming to
these countries, none of them are voting clearly not none.
And then and then you're reminded that actually there's a
chance that most of them aren't voting, because in every
(03:25):
European country except for England and Scotland, they actually require
voter ID. So imagine a world where you have unchecked immigration,
but you have enough common sense election integrity at the
ballot box that you still feel like, okay about who's
actually casting ballots.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
In your country.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And yet for some reason, almost every barrister's name is
still Mohammed, a traditional English name. Of course, I mean,
who am I to judge?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
But so there was a New York Times.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I have a friend of mine who actually lives in Scotland,
and he is called it a little bit more left
of center, and he was saying, we're talking about the
migration issue, right, because some people are like, oh, oh
my gosh, they come here. They're like flooding our you know,
national health service, they're flooding the welfare programs.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
And my buddy was like.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, there was a New York Times article not too
long ago about how in Scotland they're actually looking from
they wish they could get more migrants. And it's like
this like small remote village where they don't have enough
people to work because it's like up in the god
forsaken hinterlands, right, So there are some places where they
need some more people. But I think that's the climate
and less about the culture.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I also think that the idea that we need more
people is a scapegoat and sort of like this bs
excuse to get them in. Like people are willing to work,
you're just not willing to pay them. And because the
cost of living is so high, and then the cost
of working has not obviously kept up with that because
of the fact that they're hiring illegal immigrants and they're
(04:46):
paying them an illegal immigrant wage. So when you go
out to these remote places where they don't have this
type of population, they don't have the workforce, but they
still can't pay them the right amount because it's a
national right wage. So we've got an ongoing issue there.
And they try to say, oh, no, we need people. No,
we don't need people. You just need to write the ship, bro,
why don't you stop lying everybody?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, And what they need to do is have a
common sense conversation where they're just very honest about like, hey,
what do we actually need and then should we adjust
our policies as a result, because this next clip what
you're going to show is, unfortunately, and I don't know
how they've identified this person as a quote unquote fake
asylum seeker.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's not a term I was familiar with before today.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
But what I can tell you is when you search
on social media for a fake asylum seeker, bro, it's
not a shortage of them. Now, so I guess, like,
let's look at just this video. It's someone who is,
let's say he's not filling out an asylum application right
here's apparently committing violence of some sort against an elderly couple.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And then we can talk about in larger context of
this existence.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Here we go. Now, if you're listening, there is an
asylum seeker, we would call him a fake asylum seeker
beating the loving shit out of a person who's in
a wheelchair. Okay, so the woman has a walking cane.
He takes the walking cane out of her hand, and
(06:09):
he's basically pistol whipping her with it. It's utter bullshit. Now,
let's set the scene. It's about two o'clock in the afternoon,
bright and sunny, no rain, clear as day. People slowly
approach slowly. How you got two people over the age
of seventy five get in there? There's ten of you
attack him? What are you waiting for? This is the
(06:30):
shit I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Well, that's just British culture, right, I mean they're like, sir,
can we please have a conversation with your conduct?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Okay, I question, gentleman.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I tell you what I saw that video. There's two things.
On a daily basis, I hate most things, right, I'm
an equal opportunity hater. Everybody pisses me off. Most people
are struggling with the day to day. Okay, fine, simply
out of sheer laziness most of the time. But you
don't mess with old people, and you don't mess with
babies and puppies is not a thing. Are those are
(07:04):
areas they're cut off. You can't do it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
No, I agree, And I mean I have lots of questions.
And this is one of those things where these clips
emerge on social media. But like the phrase fake asylum seeker,
So I did some research the BBC of all things, Linda,
we're not talking about you know, like a like this
is not Fox they wus this is not a daily
wire situation. This is the BBC that a prolonged investigation
(07:28):
into the fake asylum industry. And so these people that
want to come from Africa or elsewhere, they hire people
to help them basically be coached into saying the right things.
And the two categories that you can qualify for asylum
is you can either say you have a certain religious
preference or you can be gay. And so they're trying
to coach you into Like, so imagine a world where
(07:49):
you've got these people like taking these people from North Africa. Like, so,
here's how you do it. You just have to pretend
like you're gay and then you get in. So I
actually have a solution for having can kind of stamp
out all this fake as island seeking in Europe.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Do you want to hear it?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I think we should just start playing Broadway lyrics and
stop it and we say, okay, can you finish this song?
Like we go five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes,
and then how do you react to it?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It's so sick because honestly, you know, if you've never
seen Rent, that reference meant nothing to you. But for
the rest of us, who are from New York City. Yeah,
we've all seen it one hundred times and it's really
it's so I want to give a hat tip. The
account where that video came from is called Radio Genoa.
So I've been following Radio Genoa probably for about a decade,
(08:41):
and they put up the most awful shit that's happening
all over Europe.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
It is why you followed it for a decade.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I need to know my enemy. I am not like
like people. I said to my girlfriend the other day.
She was like, I didn't know anything about that. I said,
I want to know what what land mass are you
under that you don't know this is happening. You're just
living in the sand. She's like, Lynn, I can't do it, man.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I can't you just know Here I will say this,
I've come to appreciate how much power the algorithms have
over our life. Like I'm in a group text with
some friends and one of them is very based like me,
and the other one's like, actually a real person who
does things for living.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And so I'm like, I bet.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I was like, I bet Ben's algo hasn't showed him
this yet, right, He's like, no, what is this?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And my friend. His wife was like, yeah, I saw
that two days ago.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You and I. I mean, we're both the news. This
is what we do all day long. And I'll send
you shit and you're like, bro, I did not see that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
No, it's true.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I'm just telling you, don't, like, don't miss this opportunity,
like we could have a whole office and like, okay,
mock mood. Come here, I'm gonna try defying, you know,
and see what he's got.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And then you're like me, I this is for me
one of the biggest problems. And then we'll move on
to our next clip of another person who sucks really bad.
There is an issue in Western culture where we are
unable to say what things are and it might be uncomfortable,
but that doesn't change the fact that they are what
they are. So if you happen to be from a
(10:12):
country where the main culture, right, religion, ideology, all the
things are the same is Islam, nine times out of ten,
you're not gonna blend. You're just not You're not gonna blend.
And I am waiting. As I have said many times
to my friends who are Muslims, and they'll say to me, no, no, no,
they're not alike that. I'm like, okay, good show me
(10:33):
the march of the secular Muslims protesting the radical Muslims
who are screaming death to the West, death to America,
death to Israel. We hate the Infidel. You're all Kaffirs.
Go ahead, go out stand up for me. I can't wait.
Let me see you're going to march down Broadway. You're
gonna be in DC in front of the National Mall.
(10:54):
I haven't seen that march.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
No, they're just be hanging with Prince Charles.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Bruh. He that's you know, his name is Muhammad. Now
you know he changed, you know he did, and I
made I'm gonna make this joke because I don't care
because you know he has a little baby girl, a
little daughter, granddaughter. Excuse me, how old is Charlotte? You
know in some of those countries they marry that little
girl off. Doesn't that make you uncomfortable? Chucky? Nothing about
that makes you think, oh yeah, that's kind of weird.
(11:20):
You know, it's legalized pedophilia.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
It is just like it's like the whole the very welcoming,
we want to be respectful, that's politically correct until until
like the consequences of oh wait, that that there's more
to this story, right, Like we signed up to more,
for more of this.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, it needs to happen to them, right when it
happens to you. Does it change? Then? Does it matter?
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Then?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Then do you care?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Well?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Look, I think that's what you're seeing in Los Angeles, right.
We haven't really gotten into the Spencer Pratt stuff, but
we don't have this gold although I did see maybe
the greatest commercial that was made, like a fake Batman
parody and like the Spencer Pratt stuff. But I just
think that that's kind of why you're seeing even a
Republican candidate be potentially viable because they're like, Okay, we
were all about this LA, we're all about this Left
(12:03):
Coast stuff for a long time, and then like now
literally everything we've got trash everywhere, the house is burned down.
Hermitian's keeping everything from being able to rebuilt. So we're
sort of forced to want to choose something else. I
think Spencer Prats like the LA mom Donnie right, Like,
I don't think that LA has become conservative. They just
think that everything else is so bad. Yeah, I feel
like they have to use something else, so I'll ha
to say, like, yeah, absolutely, like you embrace the thing
(12:25):
until the consequences of it becomes so just destitute and
uninhabitable that you like are kind of confronted.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, to your point, like your friend in Scotland who's
like woke, and you're like, but I don't understand if
you look at Ireland, if you look at Italy, I
don't know what happened at Georgia. Maloney she lost her balls.
I mean I used to think she was fantastic. It's
funny somebody they shall remain nameless, but somebody very high
up in politics told me once watch your ass. She's
not what you think she is. Yeah, like really, and
(12:55):
they're like, no good. And I loved her. I thought
she was fantastic. She was out there screaming in Italian
wear a nice pantsuit, still looking like a lady. I
was like, yeah, I'm about this. No negative, I'm not
into it at all. She's total fake news. I'm so disappointed.
You know, Angela Merkel, I expect that from her, No
I do. I'm like, that's Germany's Hillary.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I get right, But I tell.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You, they really they got a problem. They're raping their
women they're raping their girls, they're raping their children. They've
got these grooming gangs. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Well, I think it's you know, it's asked and answered.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Thinking about the first clip we showed how many more
migrants have invaded this these areas.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
So you now have a different.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Your political constituent has changed, right, what you support has
to like also change is you're going to stay in
front of it, just like Amy Klobashar is now pretending
to be like, tackle the fraud in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But it's like wools, stop it, Amy.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Stop it, Timmy, go back to putting the tampons in
the bathroom. Do me a favor, please. Everybody knows you
not about the fraud. It's you know, and his wife's
smelling the tires. It's it's clearly going to their heads.
You know, they're a problem. Okay, So this next clip
Eric has not been privy to, so fair warning. Everybody knows.
I hate Fauci, the fraud, terrible human being, responsible for
(14:09):
the murders of humans and beagles. I'm not about it.
This guy's a bad guy. So a friend of mine
was telling me, well, you know about Fauci from the eighties,
and I was like, no, I was a kid. I
don't know anything about Fauci from the eighties. They're like, yeah,
he's like the AIDS guy. He was the guy that
came out and was like, I have all the information,
I have all the research. I've been watching a bunch
of these videos. I'm like, oh my god, this is
(14:31):
like his trial run of COVID. He says all the
same shit. So I guess because excuse me, my algo
has me looking for Fauci. Now I get this Fauci
video from nineteen eighty whatever, and he's on there. Well,
you know, you shouldn't be in the same house with
someone and you shouldn't be in close contact. I'm sorry,
(14:52):
what are you saying?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No, it's a great like so for people I have
heard a little bit of this. So for people listening,
so listen to what Anthony Fauci says and imagine instead
of talking about HIV, AIDS and eighties, he's talking about COVID.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
It kind of it is quite eerie.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It's scary starting to see as we're seeing virtually as
the months go by, other groups that can be involved,
and seeing it in children is really quite disturbing. Let
me say, other close contact. Give me some examples.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Well, for example, if the close contact of a child
is a household contact, perhaps there will be a certain
number of cases of individual who are just living with
and in close contact with someone with AIDS or a
risk of AIDS who does not necessarily have to have
intimate sexual contact or share a needle, but just the
ordinary close contact that one sees in normal into person.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, so just add the word mask and get vaxed
and we're done.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So my favorite thing about doing the show with you
is that like you get to play all the things
from your algorithm that I haven't had to see, and
so it's like I don't have to like walk around
this existential dread because I've been exposed these things. But
I will say, you know he's talking about I think
you're not wrong to compare his response to AIDS back
(16:09):
then in his response to COVID. You know what else
AIDS and COVID have in common? Is Lenna maclaughlan still
thinks it's a sixty percent chance they both came from
a lab in China.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Hundred percent, not even six. I here's my problem, So Rampaul,
who I have some issues with, but we'll leave that
there for another day. Wrote a really great book on Fauci.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I really, I.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Got to give it to him. That book was well
sourced and well researched, and I had done. You know,
I was a big in the beginning of COVID in
twenty twenty. I was what they called a conspiracy theorist,
and I was like, nobody else thinks this is weird.
Nobody else thinks this guy's out of pocket, and this
all just his kosher. We're all good. Deborah Burk's up there,
what are nine million scarves? Shut up? Like, these people
(16:54):
don't know shit. Now we're at the end of the
of the line for him. Statutal limitations for him to
be indicted on any of this. Shits May eleventh. It's
May fifth. So these assholes who don't do anything in
the Senate other than Mike Lee, they literally have what
is it, I don't know, five days, six days.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Six days.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah, So you think Ran Paul's got a shot at this,
Like is this something he's been talking about?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I mean, Ram Paul has definitely been sort of on
the war path and making people aware. But I think
at the end of the day, somebody's got to carry
it to the finish line. And by the looks of it, right,
like you know, like John Thune yesterday, you know, I mean,
the biggest piece of shit is out there saying I
don't have any time to work on these things, and
like he's like, you know, out there taking pictures at
like a ballgame.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I'm like, in his defense, anyone with hair as good
as his doesn't have any time that is like a
full time job. He might not be a great he
might not be a great senator, but he is a
pretty man.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'll tell you what, man, I am looking forward to
his primary. It is going him and Cornyn and Murkowski.
You know what said I was thinking about when we
played the clip of Susan Collin the other day the
other day, like the first show I guess we did,
and she talked about how I'm running for office and
I only want to be in for like two terms,
(18:10):
I believe, and you know, term limits. I'm gonna gonna
do this just a couple of years that that's okay,
uh huh. Forty fricking years later, now you're going up
against Graham Platner. He's nuts, And I'm like, lady, could
you please vote for the Save Act and be you
on your marry way.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Ye, like Susan Collins, you know, up for reelection ironically,
given the length of her public career, as you said,
not the first time she's fought a Nazi.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So you're a mess, all right, So she's the original,
like you know that, we get Rosie the Riveter, We
got it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh my god, right she Honestly, it's funny. I was
arguing with someone about this yesterday, like, no, you have
to stand behind Collins. I'm like, no, we don't, No,
we don't. She's a terrible senator. She is a terrible senator.
And she has not used her seat her power to
help the American people. She has used her seat in
her power to help Susan. And for what, you're in
(19:07):
a liberal, lunatic state. If you want to be a
conservative senator and you feel like I really need to
do it. My constituents want, but I don't really agree
with them. Lady, there's forty nine other states. Go find one.
What are you doing? I you know, anyways, I know
I'm wanna tear ipon.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Well, but by the way, and I know, can we
talk about that though, like yes, that no, just not
the whole, Like, but the whole it seems like a
ridiculous thing.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Go find in the state.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
The problem is Scott Brown did like, how are we
living in a world where there's people running for.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Senate in a different state? Like, how is that? Okay,
I'm with it. I am saying, it's a big country, guys.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
There's a lot of people in this country. We got
to be able to find somebody else.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
This is this is the thing that mystifies me. Right
when AOC was running for Congress, the first time I
heard her speak, I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no, no,
that's embarrassing. That's a garrising for women, for latinas for
New York, Like, could you just we need to shut that? Right?
Then she won and I'm like, I don't what Now,
(20:12):
Clearly I'm now aware of the amount of election integrity
issues we have and the fraud and how rampant it is.
So when you vote, especially in New York, your vote
does not count. We all know that, now, Okay, Fine,
So now I know how she got in office. Right,
She's making drinks one night, the next night she's at
the Congress. Right, Fine, this this to me shows the
broken system we have, right because people that's why they
(20:34):
don't want to say that, because they know they can't win.
They know it, and they know like with the Jerror
manandering conversation that's happening in Virginia and Texas and Scotus saying, oh,
you know, that's super racist to like have things defined
by race. Like I think we fought against that for
like a super long time. So we're not gonna keep
doing that. I don't know why we ever, did.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You know actually said specific in the constitution not to
do it? But yeah, yeah, pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And then I wonder if I should go to this next.
So let's let's move around for a second. Let's go
to John Carey. Okay, So John Kerrey is sitting there
with all these World Economic Forum assholes talking about how
important they are and how you know, we as a
people need them to have a concise.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Thlot like you're a broadcast professional. But I just want
to be very clear for it. We just transition from
a conversation about majority minority districts in Louisiana to the
complete demographic office of that which is waspy asked John Carey.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
So I'm here for it. I just want to point out, like,
that's what makes you.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It's a pivot bro, that's a pivot pod. Here is
John Kerry in all his glory.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
And I think the dislike of and anguish over social
media is just growing and growing and growing u and
as part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms
of building consensus around any issue, it's really hard to
govern today. You can't you know, you know, there's no
(22:02):
the referees we used to have to determine what's the
fact and what is in the fact that kind of
you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree, and people
go and that people self select where they go for
their news or for their information, and then you just
get into a vicious cycle. So it's really really hard,
much harder to build consensus today than at any time
(22:24):
in the forty five fifty years I've been involved in this.
And you know, there's a lot of discussion now about
how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that
you're going to have, you know, some accountability on facts,
et cetera. But look, if people go to only one
source and the source they go to is sick, and
(22:47):
you know, as an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation.
Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the
ability to be able to just you know, hammer it
out of existence.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
So that's an interesting thought, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Eric.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
He literally he literally looks like the villain at the
end of a Scooby Doo episode, right, even like his
face looks like one of those prolonged masks, and they
just pull it off, and he's like, and I would
have gotten away with it too.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It wasn't of that pesky First Amendment.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Damn it, well, plad, I mean it is. This is
somebody saying the quiet part out loud for real. This
is somebody saying to you the whole free will, freedom
of speech thing, we are not about it. We want
to kill it, and with your help we can do that.
So let's do it together and then we'll control you
(23:37):
and it'll you guys are gonna be so happy. I'm like,
uh yeah, bro.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Well, and by the way, we've seen this movie before
because it's exactly what they try to do during COVID, right,
I mean, literally, all these information sources that you had
to like go hide in your basement and look around
before you could open up on your phone, like if
they was up to them, you would not have had
access to them and so and we saw how that
worked out unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
But yeah, I remember, and I'm not saying that I'm
for against this documentary full disclosure. I don't know the
maker or nothing, but I remember when plandemic came out.
Do you remember that? And you couldn't get it, nobody
would put it up, and people were sending it to
me on something called bit shoot. Do you remember bit shoot?
(24:18):
It's where people used to steal music. It's like so obscure,
and I was like, why are you sending me this
file on that I haven't used this, I don't even
know where is this alive?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
And unfortunately that link actually is something that my accountability
software on my phone won't let me open.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
So I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But it's so crazy, Like I was like, whether I
agree or disagree with what's being shown here, the bottom
line is it's up to me to be informed and
watch both sides, Like I'm one of those people. I
read the Washington Times, I read the Washington Post, I
read the New York Times, I read the New York Post.
Right you look at the California Post that opened up
right in the last two months, and people are out
(24:58):
there protesting because they had a reporter out there, because
Joel Pollock's out there and he's running the California Post.
And I guess one of the reporters was out covering
something that Newsome or Bass was doing, or maybe they
were there for Spencer Proud And I really sure. And
these protesters, you guys are fascist, And I'm like, I'm sorry,
do we just need to bring giant mirrors everywhere? You
(25:20):
are what you preach, you are projecting, you have an issue.
It's crazy, right Anyways, John Kerry is a pos you know,
he's living. It's like when they when he got caught
on the private plane going to the World Economic Forum
and they said, well, don't you think your carbon footprints
kind of b And He's like, that's different. I need
to be there in a hurry.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
You know, like in private he's got to like have
at least a little bit of self awareness. He kind
of just like smirks and Glass like, no, it's a
pretty good gig, guys, Like we got this whole thing
we got going on.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
It's pretty great.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Me, you know, Me and missus Hines. We're good. We
like ketch up, we got private planes like things are good.
Thanks for asking. It's all good. Yeah, so back to
free will anyways. Okay, So Blake Moore is a congressman
from Utah. Are you familiar with him.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I'm only familiar with him in terms of like his
profound body of legislative a couple.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
No, I'm actually not familiar with him at all.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So this guy is one of those Republicans in name only,
and he has done more to help Democrats than any
other Democrat out in Utah. He's a representative from out there.
He was recently in session and was just it was scintillating.
And if you're listening to this, I think you can
tell by the music what it is that Blake Moore
(26:34):
is doing on your tax dollars.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Mister Moore.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Mister Moore is sleeping and peacefully and.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
They wake him up. That's the best. That's the best
we got.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Oh yeah, he's in a massive doing well, complete must just.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So this is the type of stuff that is going on.
And then you know it's DeBie Dingle. Should we let
DeBie Dingle play?
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well? No, I just think the images of it is
so great, like.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Head back, you know, just no, absolutely no, I don't.
I don't know what the word is that care. They
just don't give a ship.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Well yeah, well so let me let me kind of
go the other way on this.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think we have two options, and I'll let you
decide which one you think is more viable.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Okay, number one.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Number one, it's possible that a pandemic of narcolepsy is
sweeping through the halls of Washington, c And you know,
members of Congress are immune from it, or like not
immune from it, and they're kind of caught up in
or maybe since there's this big push to ban inside
of trading by members of Congress, they literally have no
more incentive to pay attention or awake, so they can't
(28:08):
stay away, can't pay attention like bro you know, if
I can't be like texting my broker on the side,
then what do I care?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
It is so ridiculous to see and to watch people
that are legitimately members of Congress like they're going to
vote on laws that affect you, well, they want and
your kids and your family, and they're asleep. Can you
imagine if you or I just went to sleep, well,
actively at our job. It's not even an I would
(28:36):
get in so much trouble because it's not a thing.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
It would actually make me feel better if we knew
that these people were sleeping on the regulations, because it
would at least explain how things happen, because it seems
to me more troubling and more challenging to accept the
idea that's smart people, the people that we all kind
of elect collectively to send to Washington c were coherent
and lucid and aware of the decisions that also need
(29:01):
to get made every day more scary.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, all right, so you were sleep Okay, So Blake Moore,
he sucks full circle. So now we have a situation
where we've heard a lot over the last I would
say probably year of all these various stores that are
closing in these high crime areas, whether it's Targets, Walgreens,
CBS's right that we've all been to the stores where like,
(29:26):
you need a toothbrush, you need razors, you need deodre,
it's all locked. You have to get somebody. You're like,
why is people are really stealing everything? So this is
a clip of a local representative. I don't know if
he's a community leader or what his role is yelling
and screaming about the fact that they're closing a local Walgreens.
Did you have any setup for us, sir.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
No, But I think, unfortunately you'd like to think that
this is a unique But as we discussed actually on
a more recent episode of The Drill Down, like this
is a growing trend. There's a lot of people that
think crime is okay as long as you abide in
a certain category.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And it has to be below. I think it's like
below if you steal below one thousand dollars, they're not
even allowed to prosecute and you just have to take
it as a loss. I'm like, what, I remember this
one caveat I remember as a kid. Do you remember
like being at the candy out and you like, touch
the candy, don't you take any candy? Don't you touch
And you're like, oh now, it's like going to take
it all, take the whole box. It's fine. Nobody cares
(30:24):
what this is. This is a real clip of someone
who thinks he's in the right.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
All Green should be charged with first degree corporate abandonment.
It should be a crime.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
The way they're.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Treating our elders.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It should be a crime the way they're treating our families.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
They show the shells are empty. Uh yeah, it's you know.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, of course that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Sure, I'm listen. It's it's no different. Really think about it.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Like I was actually just doing some research today on
the number of companies that have left California because of
the tax policies. It's no different, right, Like the companies like, Okay, well,
if you're gonna treat us this way, if you're gonna
cost us this much because of whatever policies you're gonna have,
then we're gonna stop, stop providing you with the thing,
we're gonna leave. And companies like Walgreates I think, are
(31:16):
basically kind of doing the same thing. Like, hey, if
we're going to kind of let this crime go on,
then what incentive do we have to put stuff back
on the shelves.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
And to be fair, you know, this isn't just one area, right,
this is a national issue. If we look at Katie Wilson,
the mayor out in Seattle, right, the forty three year
old I still live on my parents' dime, you know,
who are both elitist New York professors and we're giving
her twenty two hundred dollars a month a stipend for
(31:44):
her to live while she campaigned, right because she was
working so hard. So I'm like, this moron is running
people out of her city. And she's like yeah, you know,
it's like no, I'm a big dal risk, Like I'm
put the tax, that's fine. I'm sorry the rich. Can
you make a sentence? What is happening? You have never worked,
(32:05):
You don't know anything about business. There's nothing more frustrating
to me than these people in elected office. They've never
run a company.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
And the problem is there's stuff that's already there, like Starbucks,
you know, is leaving, but like they're like you kind
of it's kind of the old and Richard's line about
George W.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Bush, like born on third base and you thought he
hit a triple.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Like those cities didn't get to become like the places
where you can actually do those things, buy those policies.
That's the irony, right, Like they built up because they
were pro free market, pro entrepreneur, pro enterprise, and then
you then want it like then this value that success
and wealth is bad and must be punished. Well, then
like these people kind of ascend this way, but that's
(32:43):
you're not going to get more of that by doing this,
and it's a unfortunate deal for Seattle. Again, look at
what's happening in la I think it would be nice.
It's it's encouraging because it shows you it can swing
back the other way and to.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Just to close the loop on this. So this guy
is saying, this is core abandonment, right, So the same
people that are out there screaming we hate corporations, we
hate capitalism, we hate all of it. Now you're being
abandoned by the people you hate. Why aren't you having
a party. Why don't you grow from within your community?
Maybe you could ask your neighbor next door, Hey, my friend,
(33:18):
maybe you could stop stealing from Walgreens because you know,
my grandma gets her medicine from there. I don't know,
that's a conversation potentially to have. It's just own it
a little.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Bit, brob.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
At least take it to the CBS down the streets,
their turn, now, you know.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Okay, So this is this is kind of an interesting situation.
We have a guy here, Brandon Tatum, who has a
huge following, and there was a young man he's in
high school. He's graduating this year here in Philadelphia is
where he's doing his video, and he's asking his fellow
classmates to read a sentence off of a three by
(33:53):
five index card. Now, I just want to say the
language here's a little spicy, so full disclosure. But he
literally is now being told he cannot walk for graduation
because they're man at him for exposing the failures of
their teaching for four years out of high school because
they can't read anything.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Sir, mister tudor, listen, I think let's let's let the
fruits of the public school system bear themselves out right,
Like I think we're about to hear from the from
the city, if this is the Philadelphia area, from a
city where Mitt Romney received zero votes zero in eighty
five precincts or whatever it was back in twenty twelve,
comes an educational policy and a larger governance structure that
(34:39):
has yielded this as a result reading what the fuck.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Did that say?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well, my riodness, my realness, this.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
Well, colonel asked acquired to accommodate the governor's schedule. Does
I mean he's asking admire to commodate to governor's.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Schedule right in your own words.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
There's a governor's schedule, and so the colonel is asking
is asking a fire to accommodate to.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It in your own word?
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
The colonel will act the acchoir to accommodate the governor's gole?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
They act the people to sing for the governor's goggle.
I don't know what this means.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
We're calling me.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Asks the quire to accommodate the governor's schedule. What does
that mean? The ax acquired a comment.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Bro it means he asked them to read a schedule.
I got to like, I mean the colonel asked the
choir to accommodate the governor's schedule, mean to sing what
the government so here? If you're if you were watching that,
If you're not, we'll tell you. On the side, he says,
I actually have another part of this video, but the
(35:56):
superintendent is threatening to expel me. I can't go to
prom or graduation because I put this video out. Why
why are you rewarding this young man?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
No, it's you know, on some level, I'm sympathetic because,
as you know, Linda, like but technology is just so
fundamentally changed all of our brains, and it's changed the
way our eyes work and move, you know. And now
it's like the discipline of reading a text. I mean,
that was not an extremely long piece of prose there.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Now, I know.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
But I'm telling you, I see more kids like they
look at a piece of paper and they see a
paragraph and they freak out, like they threw up in
their mouth a little bit, because like, I can't read
all that stuff. It's like, even if they could, the
idea of it seems too daunting. It's like it's like
they have to go through a couch to five k
to be able to read a paragraph.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
You know. So I understanding, dude, that's how it is.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
And because because we are mentally obese in this country,
this you know, young generation, Uh, it's sad. And I
think that's just like more evidence of why and how.
There's a there's a charter school. My children don't go
there because I apparently I don't love them enough. But
I found I heard a charter school that a buddy
mine runs and they don't do any technology. Peap Like
He's like, yeah, my kids won't see a computer till
(37:07):
they're like fourteen.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
I'm like, yeah, probably pretty smart.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I'm not kidding. I literally, you know, we're pretty strict
with our kids as well. And I said, I'm actually literally,
this is my son's last year in public school for
a variety of reasons, and I'm sending him to the
Catholic school. My first question to the principle was what's
the screen time? Yeah, I have no desire for my
son to spend this amount of time. I mean, my
(37:31):
daughter is graduating and they have like the chromebooks that
they give them, which are the biggest, most terrible contraptions.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
No, what it is like, No, that's actually just an
excuse for the teachers to be able to like, hey,
you guys can be on your chromebooks and I'm going
to go do something else. And I'm not saying all
the teachers do that, but enough of them do it
to where that's a real thing. You know, the chromebooks
that could be a whole Yeah, chromebooks has not been
as a value ad.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
And I will tell you this, if you're not sure
if your child is on task, look at a search history. Right,
That's all you gotta do. Be active in your child's life.
Because I sit with my son every night and look
at his computer. I'm like, Mommy wants to see what
you did today. He's like oh oh. I was like yeah, bro,
I'm like. They can get on YouTube, they can see
(38:15):
anything they want, they can play any game they want.
And the teachers up there either mark in their own papers,
they're on Amazon themselves. I don't know what the hell
is going on, but what I do know is I've
had enough, and I think a lot of people have
had enough.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
And that's, by the way, another change that covid ushered in, right, like, hey,
let's give everybody a chromebook. I had some concerns about
it from how much data do companies now have access to.
I don't know how much of that is there, but
I do believe that we should still do a big
old study on the negative impact that all these computers
have had in the classroom.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah, and the white matter in their brains. Okay, We've
got two more clips because we know we got to
wrap it up. This is a woman wearing a make
America wait for It Again shirt as she waxed the
ever loving shit out of a Trump shape pinata. Have
I left anything out, mister Eggers.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
No, that's ever loving, is I think a word that
belongs in that sentence, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Absolutely. So if you're listening, this is what's happening and
people are cheering her ontopp oh yeah, oh yeah. So
(39:51):
here's the best part. This is a woman clearly about
sixty five plus, okay, watches The Golden Girls, probably every night,
big fan of Betty right, Okay, she's where here make
America kind against shirt. She's got help from a fellow
attendee who's in their caffie wrapped around their waist, probably
needs a bigger one. A lot of waste there, and
now that person's going to stomp on the head, because
(40:12):
that is what peaceful protest looks like.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
So I will say this, I agree with you about
the Golden Girls. I think she clearly comes with more
Estelle Getty energy than the Betty White.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
She's a little feistier.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
And I also want to commend both of them for
being apparently women in their sixties and still being quite
physically active. Now, you and I might disagree with the
way they want to channel that particular activity, but they're
you know, they're not sitting on the couching bond bonds,
they are engaged in cardiovascular exercise. And I'll also say this,
and I'm being serious about this because and we talked
about this on a recent episode of The Drill Down,
the podcast that you produced with me and Peter Sweitz,
(40:48):
are a significant and alarming percentage of this country thinks
that political violence is okay and justified. And I will say, like,
I don't actually think that counts as violence. I think
that that count says like, there are a lot of
worse things that we are reminded of quite often that
people want to do so if you need to, you know,
get a cathartic release by going to the equivalent of
(41:09):
a rage room, but you do so at a public square,
then you know, is it how I want to spend
my Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
No, But and just imagine I always like to play
this game. I'm like, if that pinata was Kamala Harris,
oh for sure, we're Barack Obama. Yeah, we're Hillary, we're Bill.
I definitely think they would play the race card right
with the first two, and then they would play the
dem card with Bill and Hillary.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
But no, you're absolutely right. Double standard one hundred percent
all the way around.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
The standard, all day long. And the problem is Republicans
are too feckless to fight the fight and say what
it is, which loops back to the very beginning of
the show, which is, don't be afraid to say what
it is. If it is, it is, and your feelings
don't matter because this is real shit.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
So oh well, and if you want to say what
it is, try and use the lead vocabulary words like feckless,
as Linda, just so you see, this is a gift.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You have to be able to use the word feckless
and follow it up with asshole because then.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
It's relatable and loving. Dude, it's all. It's all the
multi slavic excellence display.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Today.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
You're welcome, America. This is the Rogue Recap. You are
watching our fifth episode of Soundbites. He's Eric Eggers and
we are so excited to be with you at Eric
Underscore Eggers and I'm at Linda Mack at Roague Recap
and we'll see you next week.
