Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up and welcome. This is the Rogue Recap and
you are here with your host, Linda McLaughlin. She is pissed, off, outraged,
and has zero patients with what seems to be an
epidemic of entitlement and stupidity. Here we talk about all
the things the other shows just don't or won't touch.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Welcome guys, Happy Friday, and just want to jump right
in here. Watching all of these protests happening in New
York City, in Minneapolis, parts of California, I really, I'm
very angry, makes me very angry that we are not
able to keep our streets open and keep our neighborhoods safe.
(00:48):
Most of the people that you're seeing at these events,
they are paid agitators. They come in from out of state,
and they like to make a lot of noise because
the more noise they make, the more happy the person
paying them is. And the people that are paying them
are people that don't even live in this country. You know,
(01:08):
We've got one guy who runs the Socialist Party. It's
like a youth movement, and he's a Neville Singham out
of China and him and his wife, who's a white
American woman. They live over there, and they travel the
world spreading communism and infecting the minds of the young
and the eager and the I spend too much time
(01:30):
on TikTok and Instagram, and I'm not watching reels on history.
I'm watching reels on how to repeat it. And it's
a theme that's widespread. And when we see these brave
citizen journalists going out as we've been talking about all week,
and approaching these people, they have two responses. One, they
don't recognize the citizen journalists, so they actually talk to
(01:52):
them and you can hear how stupid these people are.
Or two, they do recognize them and they get very,
very angry that you're asking them a question. And I
think I think the main point that I want to
make today in closing of this week of just massive news,
is there are real people struggling for freedom right now,
(02:13):
real real struggle. If you look at what's happening in Venezuela,
if you look at what's happening in Iran, if you
look at what's going to happen in Cuba and Colombia,
you are seeing people truly trying to survive under dictatorships, socialism, communism,
(02:35):
you know, sort of that iron fist idea that you
see in all these posters of these very very dumb protesters.
And if you ask them, well, what does that fists
stand for, they'll say, we're fighting back against oppression. And
the funny thing is that's exactly what you're fighting for.
You don't even realize it. And I found two clips.
(02:58):
One of them is this young man, Daniel di Martino.
He works at the Manhattan Institute. He came over here
to America as a refugee on a student visa and
is doing everything he can to be the American dream
and to give back to the country that has given
him so much. And he talks about his family and
his national ID and the days of the week that
(03:20):
he was allowed to food shop. And he went out
into the streets of Manhattan and he spoke to people,
just you know, around NYU, standing there in Washington Square
Park and saying to them, you know, why do you
support mom Donnie who says that he's a Democrat socialist?
Why do you believe in this movement? And they're like,
(03:43):
he's cool, It doesn't bother me, but they don't actually
have any answers. And the one girl at the end
of this sort of man on the street moment that
he did with the Free Press says, well, if you
don't like it, you don't like what he does here,
why don't you just leave? And he's instead of saying,
oh my gosh, like I didn't know all these things,
(04:04):
or oh my gosh, you're an actual refugee, like you're
a person that came here from another country, they can't
answer the question. So she says to Daniel, well, why
don't you just leave if you don't like it here,
And he's like, yeah, I already fleed one communist country,
and I came here to America and I'm living in
New York, which is supposed to be the melting pot
of America, and instead now I am being told that
(04:26):
you guys are going to run things the exact same
way they ran them in Venezuela. And she can't speak
to that. And that's what's really upsetting is that instead
of listening, instead of learning, instead of having real dialogue
that's looking for solutions, you have these people that just
want to live in the echo chamber of idiocy. That's
truly what it is. And people want to be nice
(04:47):
and they want to say no, no, no, you know,
it's they're not all like that. I hate that expression,
they're not all like that. I have never been in
a situation where someone said they're not all like that,
where it is not the opposite. Every time there are
groups of people that have a stereotype because they act
a certain kind of way, like leftist protesters. I have
(05:09):
never seen mobs of leftist protesters going up and down
city streets taking over in mob mentality where it hasn't
ended badly, where regular people trying to live their regular
lives were not disrupted. This is a common occurrence, It
is a regular theme. I don't really get the whole
(05:30):
they're not all like that thing. And so Daniel de
Martine goes out, he has this conversation. One of the
guys in this audio that you're about to hear is
a NYU professor, and he's having a real conversation. The
issue is what do they do with it? And who
are we as Americans to tell the people of it
(05:50):
as well to tell the people of Iran. Look at
how little time the mainstream media has spent on Iran.
These people do not support the Islamic regime. They do
not support the clerics, they do not support the extremists,
they don't support any of that shit. They're saying the
(06:11):
exact opposite. We want freedom. There was a young man
on x last night. I don't know where he was
in Iran, but he took a moment and he was
speaking in English and he was reading something that he
had written, and it was basically like, please, people of America,
fight for us. Keep posting things that you see about us,
post what we're saying. We need your help because the
(06:34):
Shah needs to get back in there so that they
can have normal, secular life and not be under the
rule of the Ayatola. The Iyatola wants one thing, power
for him and his peons. That's it. He's got no
interest in helping the Iranian people. But the protesters that
are currently right now in the street distracting from the
(06:57):
noise of the Somalian fraud that's happening with than their state,
probably at the behest of walls and fry because there
knee deep in it. It's a real struggle to get
an answer as to who is funding exactly this movement.
We know Nevel Sengmann is doing it, we know that
Soros is doing it. But who else is allowing who
(07:21):
is getting the kickbacks? I guess is a better way
of putting it. Because when you see the chief of
police in Minneapolis, when you see the mayor, when you
see the governor saying it's okay, we're gonna rally our
national guard. We're going to have to fight back against
federal agents. This is not normal. You have a right,
you have an obligation to defend and protect the rights
(07:45):
of people living in those communities who want nothing to
do with disturbing the Department of Homeland Security and the
officers that work for ICE. I mean, this is the
ongoing theme that we're speaking for all of us. No,
you're not. There's a lot of people right now in
Minnesota who are saying, please capture all of the Somali
(08:08):
immigrants who are here ripping us off blind not just
here in Minneapolis and Minnesota, but also all over the country.
Please get them out. We're sick of it. Back to
my original point, I've got two pieces of audio today,
and I'm going to start first with this back and
forth between Daniel di Martino and idiot liberals of New
(08:28):
York City. It's too good not to play. It's about
four minutes, but I promise you it's worth your time
to take a listen. Are you excited about the socialist program?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I had to give it a shot. Has so many
policies that I believe in. It is my friend Daniel
who's caped Venezuela action.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Did you vote for Zora mundanis? Of course yeah, I
can't just.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Are you don't worry that he is a socialist?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Not really?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I think socialists is actually a really good for a society.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I am assuming yes.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other
countries historically? Just because it didn't work out so while
in other parts of the world doesn't mean it won't
work out well for New York. I actually have a
friend of mine here who fled Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
He is a living product of.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Socialism not working out in other places. Came from Venezuela
nine years ago. It's the only country that was ever
destroyed by socialist and.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Democratic y'all got lot other problems to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The problems were cast by the socialist policy. My family
went from making two three thousand dollars a month twenty
years ago to one hundred dollars a month in twenty sixteen.
That was because the government gave everything. You couldn't imagine.
We're breaking the one from being a normal middle class
family with a cart and then no electricity, no hotter.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Mom.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Daddy actually thinks that Majuro was an dictator and ten
years ago he actually breaks oring elections.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
What specific socialist policies like that.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
The government took over people's basics, farms, grocery stores, factories.
Do you support the proposal of government grocery stores?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Of course I do.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. There
was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.
It's all about money, my friend, co option. Wait, what
do you think the grocery store sells your food for charity?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Are for money for money?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
That's what about thing.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
What happened in Monzuela isn't going to happen here.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The policy is more focused on helping people out.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Every politician will promise to help the people. Socialism is
the government owns and controls the means of production, that
is the company's The businesses like m'm donny says, the
government will own the grocery store. Nine million of US
escaped our country. It's the largest refugee crisis and the world.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Wow, there is a lot of opportunities to use the
wealth of New York to help everyone else.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union,
from where men parents and my grandparents are from. Oh,
they remember rosary stores is empty shells, which arm Dunning
himself said that he's Polish to abolish from all of it.
He's going to take every d you established community land
trust to ractually my of housing got.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
The primate work and converted to community ownership.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You want to live in a public house? You know,
New York City builds less total housing units than Austin, Texas,
a city that is one eighth of the size of Union.
We need to change, But then the change that we
need is one that increases the supply of housing, right,
not that one that will decrease in like Mamdani and
I fear that what happened in venezuela majorial president that
was originally democratically elected decided to give everything away for free.
(11:14):
Check people's businesses, you know, for the workers and then
it all went bankrupt and became very important. Over sixty
two percent of young people and sixty six percent of
Democrats support socialism nationwide, the Democratic socials of America. You know,
mamm Danny's a part of it, right, Yeah. The DSA
went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator
and say that he won the election, that he didn't
(11:36):
have no idea. Do you think we should be supporting
dictators like that?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Government rant control. It's going to stop people from renting
apartments because they're not going to be able to profit.
There are gonna be fewer apartments for rent, and then
we're gonna have less opportunities to actually live the that
I agree with that. Okay, I understand more about socialism
now for sure. Since we have had more free markets
and capitalism in the world, billions of people have been
left for a property and that every country that has
(12:02):
attempted socialism, as well as by the Soviet Union in
North Korea, eastor and Europe, many countries in Africa, all.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Of them became You've been through it in Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yes, why don't you move on to New York? I
already did? Actually, well, I already moved out of my
country too. You think people should just keep moving out
of socialists destroy their countries on.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
There city if you don't like the policies that the
government's power doing it.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, I think my opinion might have changed a little bit.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'll be doing more research.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Thank you for sharing. I heard a great vote about socialism,
which is it's really a great system until you run
out of spending other people's money. With the rights of
socialism in America, it's more important than ever that we
have these conversations. I'm telling you with the free press,
and I'm Donald di Martine, so you next time.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So what you just heard was a bunch of really
dumb people who were allowed to vote. And I have
been saying this for years and I stand by it.
I think every single person, before they are allowed to
cast a ballot should have to take a sever test
and understand the basic tenets of democracy, of a free republic,
(13:07):
of socialism, of communism, and have a basic understanding of
the way that our government works, the Constitution, the Declaration
of Independence, the Bill of Rights. I would go so
far as even trying to understand the three branches of government.
How many elected officials are in the House. How many
senators you get per state. I genuinely do not believe
(13:31):
that your average American knows these answers like readily. I
think that they would have to look it up. I
think that they would have to be schooled. I think
that they would have to take a minute. And I'm
okay with that if we want to let them know, Hey,
heading into voting today, you're going to have to take
a multiple choice quiz before you go in and pull
that lever. So at least you're a little bit more educated.
(13:52):
Because the one thing you heard there, The only person
on there that I thought was like a real asshole
was that one girl at the end. She's like, well,
if you don't like that government, what you just like?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Move?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And he's like, okay, so how many times should I
move to escape socialism? You know? To his point, nine
million people are refugees. It's the largest refugee crisis in
the world, and it's a real refugee crisis. It's not
the made up ones where we bring people in because
we're buying their vote and we're siphoning money off of
(14:21):
the taxpayer so that we can funnel it through NGOs.
And kick it back to the professional lobbyists and elected
members of government who are all on the take. And
that's both sides of the aisle, right and left. That's
not what's happening in Venezuela. Venezuela people are starving. I
want you to hear this other woman. I don't know her,
(14:41):
I don't know who she is, and she just is
talking about how she came to America and how hard
it was, and how sick and tired she is. Of
Americans telling Venezuelan's how they should be feeling. It really
kind of broke my heart. I hope it reaches you
as well.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
An American that hasn't leave that terror of socialism will
never understand what is going on right now. I don't
care if you have a master degree in whatever. Unless
you leave it in your own skin, you won't ever
understand it. And I think it's terribly disrespectful for anybody
(15:22):
to tell Venezuela how we should react to that. I
think it's terrible disrespectful to the people that have died
saying that Madudu shouldn't be where he is. And I
left my country with just the clothes I was wearing
and a little bit of diapers.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And milk that I had left. Don't you dare telling
me that this is not a reason for celebration. When
I first come into the United States, I cry and
had to turn around to my husband and ask him
to please help me to open the shower because I
didn't even know how to open the shower. When I
(16:01):
woke into Wolmar and I saw so many options to it,
I couldn't believe myself. Our reality is different. We want
to live and you guys have everything in this country,
more than you could ever imagine. And I just wish
(16:22):
that you could love it a little bity more and
respect it a little bity more, because if I had
to give my life for America, I would.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Doesn't that just break your heart hearing that woman the
pain that she is feeling. And here she is, living
in America, looking at an American president who has just
freed her country from a dictator, and watching not just
stupid American liberals but politicians defame President Trump for freeing
(16:56):
her nation, a nation that has lived under totalitarian rule
for far too long with absolutely no help because everybody's
on the take, and all those other countries were getting
a little piece of all that drug running, all the
arms running. And don't think it wasn't us too, because
it was under Obama and Biden and Clinton and all
(17:17):
these other scumbags. These are people who have really suffered.
And see these American white liberal lunatic children, and they
are children marching up and down in Minneapolis have never
experienced real, true hardship. It's like when Greta Thunberg did
(17:39):
that stupid thing where she was like, I'm on a
sail boat. Meanwhile her boat has an engine. The sale
never went up, and she's like, I'm going to go
free Palestine. Then go to Palestine. Go. You should be
grateful that Israel took you out of international waters. They
saved your ass. You think you're going to get to
Gaza and they're going to be excited to see you.
(18:00):
They don't even know who you are. How lucky for them.
But this is the privilege that we're talking about. They
want to talk about white privilege. Sure, okay, let's talk
about white privilege. Let's talk about white stupid ass Karen
privilege walking up and down the street about oppression and
how mad they are that illegal immigrants, cartown members, child rapists,
(18:25):
all sorts of trafficking people that are trafficking humans, organs, money, drugs,
you name it. They're defending them and their right to
be here, instead of celebrating the elimination of a dictatorship
and the fact that now we have an entire hemisphere
of change. If you remember the access of evil, it's
(18:48):
been Russia, Iran, China, and then Venezuela. Well, we're taking
down Venezuela. We're turning that around. Cuba and Colombia will follow.
And now we have Iran with people just marching in
the streets for their freedom. And are we, as Americans,
(19:09):
the freest nation in the world supposedly, are we celebrating them?
Are we talking about them? No, we're screaming about our government,
and we're mad because of the fact that they are
enforcing our laws. That's what people in America are doing,
and they are so privileged and so free and they
(19:30):
don't even realize it. You have the right to march
up and down the street. You have the right to
live in your homes and do what you want, and
meet with who you want and live the way you want.
The problem now is is that everyday people like myself,
if you want to be a boy and call yourself
a girl, have at it. If you want to be
(19:51):
gay and marry another person of the same sex, have
at it. If you want to dye your hair blue
and say you were born naturally that way, have at it.
This idea that the rest of us has to have
to subscribe to your crazy is not a thing. And
that is the difference between true freedom and this idea
(20:11):
of everyone has to think like me. And that's what
this really is. It's like a little cult. It's a
little mentally unstable cult of people who are all looking
to belong. They're all backwards, crooked and upside down, and
now they're doing it together. So when two idiots meet
each other and they're telling each other how right they are,
they're never going to get to the real answer because
(20:33):
they never had it. We'll be watching this all weekend.
We'll be looking for more information out of Iran. I
hope you found those two audio clips as valuable as
I did, because I know they moved me. Please be
safe out there, watch out for the blue hairs, and
we'll see you on Monday. This is the Rogue Recap.
Check us out at lindamik at Roague Recap at rogue

oh my gosh, like I didn't know all these things,
(04:04):
or oh my gosh, you're an actual refugee, like you're
a person that came here from another country, they can't

don't you just leave if you don't like it here,
And he's like, yeah, I already fleed one communist country,
and I came here to America and I'm living in
New York, which is supposed to be the melting pot
of America, and instead now I am being told that
(04:26):
you guys are going to run things the exact same

(06:34):
Shah needs to get back in there so that they
can have normal, secular life and not be under the
rule of the Ayatola. The Iyatola wants one thing, power
for him and his peons. That's it. He's got no
interest in helping the Iranian people. But the protesters that
are currently right now in the street distracting from the
(06:57):
noise of the Somalian fraud that's happening with than their state,
probably at the behest of walls and fry because there
knee deep in it. It's a real struggle to get
an answer as to who is funding exactly this movement.
We know Nevel Sengmann is doing it, we know that
Soros is doing it. But who else is allowing who
(07:21):
is getting the kickbacks? I guess is a better way
of putting it. Because when you see the chief of
police in Minneapolis, when you see the mayor, when you
see the governor saying it's okay, we're gonna rally our
national guard. We're going to have to fight back against
federal agents. This is not normal. You have a right,
you have an obligation to defend and protect the rights
(07:45):
of people living in those communities who want nothing to
do with disturbing the Department of Homeland Security and the
officers that work for ICE. I mean, this is the
ongoing theme that we're speaking for all of us. No,
you're not. There's a lot of people right now in
Minnesota who are saying, please capture all of the Somali
(08:08):
immigrants who are here ripping us off blind not just
here in Minneapolis and Minnesota, but also all over the country.
Please get them out. We're sick of it. Back to
my original point, I've got two pieces of audio today,
and I'm going to start first with this back and
forth between Daniel di Martino and idiot liberals of New
(08:28):
York City. It's too good not to play. It's about
four minutes, but I promise you it's worth your time
to take a listen. Are you excited about the socialist program?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I had to give it a shot. Has so many
policies that I believe in. It is my friend Daniel
who's caped Venezuela action.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Did you vote for Zora mundanis? Of course yeah, I
can't just.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Are you don't worry that he is a socialist?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Not really?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I think socialists is actually a really good for a society.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I am assuming yes.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other
countries historically? Just because it didn't work out so while
in other parts of the world doesn't mean it won't
work out well for New York. I actually have a
friend of mine here who fled Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
He is a living product of.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Socialism not working out in other places. Came from Venezuela
nine years ago. It's the only country that was ever
destroyed by socialist and.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Democratic y'all got lot other problems to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The problems were cast by the socialist policy. My family
went from making two three thousand dollars a month twenty
years ago to one hundred dollars a month in twenty sixteen.
That was because the government gave everything. You couldn't imagine.
We're breaking the one from being a normal middle class
family with a cart and then no electricity, no hotter.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Mom.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Daddy actually thinks that Majuro was an dictator and ten
years ago he actually breaks oring elections.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
What specific socialist policies like that.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
The government took over people's basics, farms, grocery stores, factories.
Do you support the proposal of government grocery stores?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Of course I do.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. There
was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.
It's all about money, my friend, co option. Wait, what
do you think the grocery store sells your food for charity?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Are for money for money?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
That's what about thing.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
What happened in Monzuela isn't going to happen here.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The policy is more focused on helping people out.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Every politician will promise to help the people. Socialism is
the government owns and controls the means of production, that
is the company's The businesses like m'm donny says, the
government will own the grocery store. Nine million of US
escaped our country. It's the largest refugee crisis and the world.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Wow, there is a lot of opportunities to use the
wealth of New York to help everyone else.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union,
from where men parents and my grandparents are from. Oh,
they remember rosary stores is empty shells, which arm Dunning
himself said that he's Polish to abolish from all of it.
He's going to take every d you established community land
trust to ractually my of housing got.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
The primate work and converted to community ownership.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You want to live in a public house? You know,
New York City builds less total housing units than Austin, Texas,
a city that is one eighth of the size of Union.
We need to change, But then the change that we
need is one that increases the supply of housing, right,
not that one that will decrease in like Mamdani and
I fear that what happened in venezuela majorial president that
was originally democratically elected decided to give everything away for free.
(11:14):
Check people's businesses, you know, for the workers and then
it all went bankrupt and became very important. Over sixty
two percent of young people and sixty six percent of
Democrats support socialism nationwide, the Democratic socials of America. You know,
mamm Danny's a part of it, right, Yeah. The DSA
went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator
and say that he won the election, that he didn't
(11:36):
have no idea. Do you think we should be supporting
dictators like that?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Government rant control. It's going to stop people from renting
apartments because they're not going to be able to profit.
There are gonna be fewer apartments for rent, and then
we're gonna have less opportunities to actually live the that
I agree with that. Okay, I understand more about socialism
now for sure. Since we have had more free markets
and capitalism in the world, billions of people have been
left for a property and that every country that has
(12:02):
attempted socialism, as well as by the Soviet Union in
North Korea, eastor and Europe, many countries in Africa, all.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Of them became You've been through it in Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yes, why don't you move on to New York? I
already did? Actually, well, I already moved out of my
country too. You think people should just keep moving out
of socialists destroy their countries on.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
There city if you don't like the policies that the
government's power doing it.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, I think my opinion might have changed a little bit.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'll be doing more research.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Thank you for sharing. I heard a great vote about socialism,
which is it's really a great system until you run
out of spending other people's money. With the rights of
socialism in America, it's more important than ever that we
have these conversations. I'm telling you with the free press,
and I'm Donald di Martine, so you next time.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So what you just heard was a bunch of really
dumb people who were allowed to vote. And I have
been saying this for years and I stand by it.
I think every single person, before they are allowed to
cast a ballot should have to take a sever test
and understand the basic tenets of democracy, of a free republic,
(13:07):
of socialism, of communism, and have a basic understanding of
the way that our government works, the Constitution, the Declaration
of Independence, the Bill of Rights. I would go so
far as even trying to understand the three branches of government.
How many elected officials are in the House. How many
senators you get per state. I genuinely do not believe
(13:31):
that your average American knows these answers like readily. I
think that they would have to look it up. I
think that they would have to be schooled. I think
that they would have to take a minute. And I'm
okay with that if we want to let them know, Hey,
heading into voting today, you're going to have to take
a multiple choice quiz before you go in and pull
that lever. So at least you're a little bit more educated.
(13:52):
Because the one thing you heard there, The only person
on there that I thought was like a real asshole
was that one girl at the end. She's like, well,
if you don't like that government, what you just like?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Move?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And he's like, okay, so how many times should I
move to escape socialism? You know? To his point, nine
million people are refugees. It's the largest refugee crisis in
the world, and it's a real refugee crisis. It's not
the made up ones where we bring people in because
we're buying their vote and we're siphoning money off of
(14:21):
the taxpayer so that we can funnel it through NGOs.
And kick it back to the professional lobbyists and elected
members of government who are all on the take. And
that's both sides of the aisle, right and left. That's
not what's happening in Venezuela. Venezuela people are starving. I
want you to hear this other woman. I don't know her,
(14:41):
I don't know who she is, and she just is
talking about how she came to America and how hard
it was, and how sick and tired she is. Of
Americans telling Venezuelan's how they should be feeling. It really
kind of broke my heart. I hope it reaches you
as well.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
An American that hasn't leave that terror of socialism will
never understand what is going on right now. I don't
care if you have a master degree in whatever. Unless
you leave it in your own skin, you won't ever
understand it. And I think it's terribly disrespectful for anybody
(15:22):
to tell Venezuela how we should react to that. I
think it's terrible disrespectful to the people that have died
saying that Madudu shouldn't be where he is. And I
left my country with just the clothes I was wearing
and a little bit of diapers.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And milk that I had left. Don't you dare telling
me that this is not a reason for celebration. When
I first come into the United States, I cry and
had to turn around to my husband and ask him
to please help me to open the shower because I
didn't even know how to open the shower. When I
(16:01):
woke into Wolmar and I saw so many options to it,
I couldn't believe myself. Our reality is different. We want
to live and you guys have everything in this country,
more than you could ever imagine. And I just wish
(16:22):
that you could love it a little bity more and
respect it a little bity more, because if I had
to give my life for America, I would.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Doesn't that just break your heart hearing that woman the
pain that she is feeling. And here she is, living
in America, looking at an American president who has just
freed her country from a dictator, and watching not just
stupid American liberals but politicians defame President Trump for freeing
(16:56):
her nation, a nation that has lived under totalitarian rule
for far too long with absolutely no help because everybody's
on the take, and all those other countries were getting
a little piece of all that drug running, all the
arms running. And don't think it wasn't us too, because
it was under Obama and Biden and Clinton and all
(17:17):
these other scumbags. These are people who have really suffered.
And see these American white liberal lunatic children, and they
are children marching up and down in Minneapolis have never
experienced real, true hardship. It's like when Greta Thunberg did
(17:39):
that stupid thing where she was like, I'm on a
sail boat. Meanwhile her boat has an engine. The sale
never went up, and she's like, I'm going to go
free Palestine. Then go to Palestine. Go. You should be
grateful that Israel took you out of international waters. They
saved your ass. You think you're going to get to
Gaza and they're going to be excited to see you.
(18:00):
They don't even know who you are. How lucky for them.
But this is the privilege that we're talking about. They
want to talk about white privilege. Sure, okay, let's talk
about white privilege. Let's talk about white stupid ass Karen
privilege walking up and down the street about oppression and
how mad they are that illegal immigrants, cartown members, child rapists,
(18:25):
all sorts of trafficking people that are trafficking humans, organs, money, drugs,
you name it. They're defending them and their right to
be here, instead of celebrating the elimination of a dictatorship
and the fact that now we have an entire hemisphere
of change. If you remember the access of evil, it's
(18:48):
been Russia, Iran, China, and then Venezuela. Well, we're taking
down Venezuela. We're turning that around. Cuba and Colombia will follow.
And now we have Iran with people just marching in
the streets for their freedom. And are we, as Americans,
(19:09):
the freest nation in the world supposedly, are we celebrating them?
Are we talking about them? No, we're screaming about our government,
and we're mad because of the fact that they are
enforcing our laws. That's what people in America are doing,
and they are so privileged and so free and they
(19:30):
don't even realize it. You have the right to march
up and down the street. You have the right to
live in your homes and do what you want, and
meet with who you want and live the way you want.
The problem now is is that everyday people like myself,
if you want to be a boy and call yourself
a girl, have at it. If you want to be
(19:51):
gay and marry another person of the same sex, have
at it. If you want to dye your hair blue
and say you were born naturally that way, have at it.
This idea that the rest of us has to have
to subscribe to your crazy is not a thing. And
that is the difference between true freedom and this idea
(20:11):
of everyone has to think like me. And that's what
this really is. It's like a little cult. It's a
little mentally unstable cult of people who are all looking
to belong. They're all backwards, crooked and upside down, and
now they're doing it together. So when two idiots meet
each other and they're telling each other how right they are,
they're never going to get to the real answer because
(20:33):
they never had it. We'll be watching this all weekend.
We'll be looking for more information out of Iran. I
hope you found those two audio clips as valuable as
I did, because I know they moved me. Please be
safe out there, watch out for the blue hairs, and
we'll see you on Monday. This is the Rogue Recap.
Check us out at lindamik at Roague Recap at rogue
