Music Hey, what's up everybody?
Episode nine of the Rogue Recap.
Really excited to be here with you tonight.
Getting started a little late, so I'm gonna post this a little late, but wanted to get it up because there's no uh there's no end in the madness of the news, and everyone is talking about Joe Biden and the fact that he has cancer and he's going to die, and it is such a big shock.
And I have to say, I'm I'm pretty surprised that people are surprised.
I don't know about you guys, but I watched him through his vice presidency and his presidency, and he looked progressively worse, and at times didn't even look like himself, didn't sound like himself.
I'm not trying to be like, you know, tin foil hat, but there's something very strange going on.
I'm not exactly sure what, but definitely something strange.
And nobody was allowed to ask questions because if you ask questions, it meant that you were a conspiracy theorist.
I'm sorry, but you know, we've been out of COVID four years, and he has a cold that has literally changed his voice box.
He sounded so different.
It was the oddest thing in the world.
And then, you know, he came out of the White House that one time and he went from, I don't know, what is he, 5'10 or 5'11, suddenly he was like, you know, 6'8.
I was like, all right, that's not weird.
But anyways, I digress.
My point in saying all this is I I think they were definitely hiding what was wrong with him.
They were hiding how sick he was for a very long time.
And I also think the bigger problem isn't really that he has cancer, it's the mental problems that he has.
He has had a real decrease in his mental acuity for quite some time.
And I mean it's not like he was storm from the top anyway.
I mean, the guy was the bottom of his college class, the bottom of his law class, he's sleeping with the babysitter, his son's a crackhead, you know.
He's he's clearly just nothing positive to say about him, right?
When you saw him over the years, you genuinely saw somebody who thought that dead people were still alive, calling on congressmen and women that have passed, asking somebody who's in a wheelchair to stand up, and then he's like, oh God, love you.
We'll stand up for you.
And people just clap like it's no big deal.
And I'm like, you know, people don't just forget that representatives of Congress have passed away.
People don't just forget that other people are in wheelchairs, people don't forget international leaders when they're traveling abroad or hosting other people at the White House.
It's not the norm.
It's just what we were told was a norm so that we could accept them.
So while they were using his auto pen behind closed doors, we all just kind of went, eh, it's all right, you know, he's just older.
And listen, I'm not an ageist by any means.
I'm not trying to have any sort of bias against people of a certain age.
Uh, you look at Donald Trump, I mean the guy goes a mile a minute.
I know teenagers who that don't do that much in a day.
But Joe Biden was just a horse of a different color.
The guy just was never up to the job and quite frankly didn't have any interest in doing the job.
He just wanted the access that it gave him and his family to launder money all over the world.
And I really do think at some point we will take sort of a closer looking through the prism of history.
It'll go, huh?
I can't believe they let them do that, you know?
And it's funny, I saw somebody today on X talking about these real IDs.
I don't know if you guys have gotten your real ID.
I have not yet.
And I don't know if I'm going to.
I might just get, you know, a new passport and skip the real ID.
I'm not exactly sure why we need the real ID or what the premises is on.
And I and I'm being very honest with you guys, I just don't know that much about it.
But what I do find strange is that if you travel now without the real ID, they put you through this very strange process at the airport where like they swab your hands, they swab your phone, they they look at your stuff a little more closely, you're taken to the side, there's extra security brought over.
I'm like, you guys know that like three days ago, this was cool, right?
Just checking.
That's the kind of stuff that doesn't make sense to me.
Just because somebody hasn't been able to acclimate to the new law as quickly as you might like it, or maybe they don't want to acclimate to the new law, and the you know, additional documents that are necessary have been provided, but yeah, it's not a real ID.
So they give you this big red paper that you have to hand in and say, I'm flying without a real ID, even though I provided all of the additional data, information, paperwork, documents needed to fly, in addition to my previous ID that was perfectly fine until three days ago.
That kind of stuff just really gets on my nerves.
It's kind of like with COVID when they made everybody wear a mask and one day you didn't have to wear a mask, and then the next day you did.
And one day you could get a cup of coffee, and the next day you couldn't go in and get a cup of coffee and let you had your vaccine passport, and it had to be stamped and updated with each vaccine and and each booster.
And I was like, what a bunch of nonsense.
I mean, it really was, I think it was a test to see just how malleable and how quickly the American people would just kind of give in.
And I think they learned a really good lesson that they're gonna give in really easy because they're used to getting their coffee and they're used to getting their Doordash, their Urbereats, getting all going on a cruise or seeing a movie, you know, they're used to it and they're not gonna give it up for anything.
And what they didn't realize, but they were giving up had nothing to do with any of those quote unquote things.
It had to do with the freedoms that come with this country and the ability to have those things when you want.
I never was able to understand this whole idea of you know, vaccinating our children or you know, all that stuff just seems so out of whack to me.
And then you would talk to people and they would say, yeah, but I've had these tickets forever.
I'm like, okay, so your tickets to see a Broadway show are more important than the life of the child that you created, and you are now injecting that child with a vaccine that has little to no scientific evidence of doing anything except harming them.
But oh, right, you don't know that because you didn't read the fine print because the fine print didn't matter because you bought the tickets a year ago.
I got it.
So today we're gonna talk about something that really makes me angry.
And I think it makes a lot of other people angry too.
It doesn't get as much coverage as I think it should get.
I'm not exactly sure why, because most people are parents.
They're an uncle if they're not, an aunt if they're not, right?
But generally speaking, most people are parents and they have kids.
I don't know why there's not more of an uproar, a unified uproar regarding all of these shows at our kids' schools.
And I really do think that if I said to you, hey, since you're having a uh queer day, I'm gonna have a stripper day, and I'm gonna bring all of the women who dance on poles in their underwear.
Oh, and then the day after that, we're gonna bring in the Chippendales because it's the same exact thing.
You're having these drag shows and these queer friendly, honest to God, I don't even know all the letters and the words, and I mean, I can't even keep up with the amount of bias, just the the seesaw of nonsense in these identity politic type groups.
It's it's absurd to be honest with you.
But where it gets where it steps outside of the realm of, oh, it's just absurd and gets into a pay stop messing with my kids is when they say, oh no, I'm gonna have a Drag show at your kids' middle school.
And that's happening, you know, right here in America in New Jersey, coming up on June 3rd.
Okay, so we got a little time here, and this is I'm reading from the flyer.
And it says the queer extravaganza, June 3rd from 330 to 6.
Get this.
It's drag karaoke and potluck.
How about that?
Safe space for LGBTQ youth and allies hosted in the Flex space at North Middle School, all are welcome.
Now we all know that all are not welcome, because if I show up in my MAGA hat and my two A sign, they're gonna lose their marbles, right?
But if they got a bunch of dudes dressing up like women, putting on dresses in front of kids, that's normal.
That's the new normal.
And that's the stuff that freaks me out.
If you want to do stuff like this with other people that are of a certain age, so that would be 18 plus, right?
Adults, and they all want to go dress up and they want to live a certain lifestyle.
Knock yourself out, go for it.
Why are you doing it in a middle school?
Why?
I never saw this when I was a kid.
I got plenty of friends that were gay.
You know, I went to an old girl's school, so we had a lot of lesbians in our school, and then down the street was the all-boy school.
You know what?
The lesbians and the gay kids, they all came out, whether they went to the queer parties or not.
It has nothing to do with that.
You're born that way, in my opinion, anyway.
But the trans stuff, all that stuff, nah.
I'm not about that.
I'm just not.
And I'm starting to think that there is a true indoctrination and a grooming process happening when you start to do it on school property.
Why do you have to do it on school property?
There's no uh beef and beer hole you can rent out, do with all your, you know, of age friends.
It just really feels like something has gone wrong.
And I don't know why more parents, I mean, if I was in this school district, this was my child school, ah, forget about it.
I would be all over this.
There would be no peace.
And I would be having school board meetings and hearings, I would be hiring attorneys.
I would be looking up the laws locally.
It just feels wrong.
And you know why it feels wrong?
Because it is.
Some things just are, and it's just not that hard.
And I saw this guy over the weekend and he showed up at this uh this anti-Trump protest.
He shows up wearing an American flag and a MAGA hat.
And the local news goes over to him and they're like, hey, you know, like what are you doing here?
You know, why are you here?
And he's explaining to them how important it is that people have opposing views at these rallies that they're having, because there has to be a dialogue, right?
Because not everybody could be this nuts.
So he's like, you know, I'm gonna show up and I'm gonna try to talk to them.
And, you know, he he kind of goes through this the explanation to this local news reporter, and he's in Asheville, North Carolina, which obviously they went through a lot with Hurricane Helene, but Astral's the liberal part, right?
Like they have a very, very liberal, they have a lot of liberal leadership there too.
But the problem is is that they have all of this going on and they're having this protest, and then this guy shows up with a different point of view, alternative thought, the tolerant left, yet again loses their mind because somebody is there that is saying no to everything they say yes to, and they can't hear it.
Take a listen to how he explains his experience at this rally.
Well, I think everything he's doing is in favor of America.
You know, I think it's in favor of a better America, America that loves its identity, embraces his identity.
Um, I support uh most things.
Yeah, by and large the agenda, I love the agenda.
Sporting a make America great again hat.
He somewhat stuck out.
But there has been a fair degree of dialogue, I will say, you know, I do appreciate that.
You know, and I think that's really uh what we need, uh, regardless of where we stand.
Dialogue at times turning contentious.
He's an old man!
We observed no physical violence.
Reporting in Asheville, Justin Berger, News 13.
We we saw no physical violence.
And that's what's funny, right?
So it's a win because they didn't attack him because he had an opposing view.
I guess that's where I guess that's the benchmark, right?
Well, he didn't get attacked, so it's a win.
It's it's just a shame.
And every time You talk to somebody, especially liberals, but whenever somebody's wrong, they over-explain, they don't have sources, they they make a lot of sort of generalizations.
It's really just not about that.
It's about specifics.
Like whenever somebody says Donald Trump is this or Donald Trump is that.
My answer is always the same.
I don't know anything about that.
Please let me know.
I definitely wouldn't want to support someone like that.
So what is it you're referring to?
They get more angry.
It's like I'm genuinely asking you how you have come to the place that you are at.
Why do you think the way that you do?
And why do you feel that President Trump is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to the United States?
Pretty sure your 401k is rising as is mine.
I'm pretty sure your neighborhoods are safer, as are mine.
I'm pretty sure that gas is cheaper.
I'm pretty sure the eggs are back on the shelf.
I'm pretty sure that more Americans are getting to work because tariffs are in place, which are making people invest in America and buy American.
Stop me when I'm wrong.
These are not difficult concepts.
They're actually happening.
We can point to where they're happening.
We can tell you, this is Joe.
He lives in Texas.
He builds furniture.
Now he's building a lot more because people are buying furniture locally.
They're not buying it off of some Chinese website because the tariffs are too high and it costs them double the amount it would cost them to buy in America.
You know, we once were a nation that was all about creating our own.
The industrial revolutions, the engineering we had here, the amount of ingenuity that we had in the American people was something that was really envious to the world.
And now, honestly, what are we doing here at home?
We're producing an entire generation of children who does not you know truly does not know how to use a hammer and a nail.
They've never seen a drill.
They don't know what to do with it.
That's sad.
I I hope that more kids go into trade school.
I told my kids, you don't have to go to college.
Go be a plumber, go be a contractor, go do roofs for a living.
They cost a fortune, trust me, I just put one on.
You know, these are real things.
I don't think that they're teaching that kind of stuff at school.
And it's funny, you know, I went to a college graduation recently, and this person gave speech at the end, and they were one of these trans people, wearing a cafe and talking about their experience and how important inclusion was.
And I couldn't get over how this master's student was so dumb because you're standing there as a woman dressed up as a man, pretending to be a man, wearing the flag of the Palestinian people who would literally burn you alive because they don't believe in that.
But you're so ignorant in the plight of what's actually going on in the West Bank.
Because again, another headline hero, given a speech after getting a master's degree, you think you know everything.
You know what you know?
You know how to pass tests.
Congratulations.
As far as life experience, you look like an idiot.
End of story.
It's really just that simple.
And it's so frustrating to me because this is what the indoctrination of colleges is turning out.
And this uh graduation I went to was a private institution.
So that is a board of trustees, that is a president of the college.
These are all people that are choosing to do this.
It's not like they're being held to some sort of standard and they're being forced to do it.
It's a mindset, and they're encouraging it.
And it makes absolutely no sense.
When you continuously teach and encourage divisiveness and bias, it's what you're gonna get.
It's not that hard.
It really is not.
And you know, recently the Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, this guy's like an Uber racist.
And it's really, really sad because the people that are suffering the most, his constituents are suffering.
There's more shootings, there's more crime, there's more death.
He wants to protect the illegal immigrants, but he's got his own constituents homeless, sleeping on the street.
He's got more young people joining gangs because they have nowhere to go because the shelters have all been given to illegals.
So you got Pritzker running the state of Illinois, and you guys know how I feel about Pritzker.
He's an idiot.
And that's a nice way to say.
But then you've got, you know, Brandon Johnson running the show in Chicago.
You know, Chicago is such a beautiful city.
I don't know if you've ever been there, and if you haven't, I encourage you to go in the daylight, unfortunately, because of how dangerous it is.
But I mean, this is a guy who literally is now saying, I only hire blacks in my administration because they're so generous.
They're the most generous people.
Every time you turn around, this is what this guy is talking about.
All about race, all about segregating one race from another.
It is so ass backward.
You listen, you tell me what you think.
I'm detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing the mayor talk the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people.
No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else.
We are the most generous people on the planet.
I don't know so many cultures that have play cousins.
That's how generous we are.
We just make somebody a family member, right?
This is how we are.
And so business and economic neighborhood development, the deputy mayor is a black woman.
Department of Planning and Development is a black woman.
Infrastructure Deputy Mayor is a black woman.
Chief Operations Officer is a black man.
Budget director is a black woman.
And I'm laying that out because when you when you ask, how do we ensure that our people get a chance to grow their business?
Could you imagine for one second, any other race?
And I do mean any white, Asian ethnicities, whether they're maybe Jewish, if they were Muslim, if they were Hindu, I mean, really, any other race, saying something so completely disgusting, admitting to the fact that you don't run your government based on meritocracy.
You don't run your government on anything other than the color of somebody's skin.
Why?
Don't you want to be the best person that's gonna do the best job for your people?
No.
The only way that the people in our community are gonna grow is if the people are black.
What?
What how do you think you became mayor of Chicago?
Lori Lightfoot, who was his predecessor, was really scary.
I mean, honestly, she was really, really, she was scary looking and scary acting and just scary, you know, all around.
360.
But this guy is sitting in this room, and it's obviously an echo chamber because he's got everybody clapping, but are they really hearing what he's saying?
Because you see, when you set precedent like this, what are you telling everybody else?
Well, everybody should just hire from within their specific group, and we shouldn't hire outside, and we should never look beyond someone's race.
It's literally the antithesis of everything we've all been taught.
I can't imagine ever in my life hiring someone because they were the same race or the same gender.
I think it is the dumbest thing in the world.
And I truly don't understand it.
And I think when somebody says something like this and they're in a position of power and they hold office, they should be removed from office.
Because this means they're running the entire administration, which he clearly just said, based on race and gender, which have nothing to do with getting the job done.
The job needs to be done, it needs to be done right, and it needs to be done by the best person.
So maybe you should put a blindfold on.
Like, has he ever seen the voice or anything like that where they have to turn their chair around after they hear it and then they're like, oh, this person's great.
You know, and that's what he needs.
He needs that, but for politics.
Because he's not able to get out of his own way.
And he sure as hell isn't able to get out of the way of the people of Chicago.
And it's just not fair.
It's just not fair.
And he doesn't care, right?
Because he's sitting at the pulpit of somebody who can't wait to hear what he has to say.
Because I guess he thinks somewhere deep in his heart, hey, you know what?
Maybe, just maybe, I'll get something out of this.
Maybe I'll be the next person in his administration.
I don't know why anybody would want to work in an administration like that.
Sounds terrible to me.
And then we have this young woman, Reese Hogan.
And she was in a championship race yesterday at the CIF Southern Section Finals.
She had a personal record, school record, broke them all.
She came in second.
Why?
Because a boy dressed up as a girl was allowed to compete against her and won first place.
It's pretty disgusting stuff, right?
But of course, what do we expect from California?
But this young woman, hysterical.
When this idiot man gets off the first place podium, she gets into that position because she is the first place winner.
And had she been competing against a girl, which is what she should have been competing against, she would have won.
So she said, you know what?
When you remove yourself from someplace you should never ever been, I'll go and stand on top of that number one box and let everybody take a picture of me there.
Because everybody knows I'm the rightful winner.
I totally agree.
I give that young woman a lot of credit, because I'll tell you what, that guy's disgusting.
And I just don't know where all the fathers and mothers are out there.
Why are you allowing these young men to compete against your daughters?
Why aren't you fighting and screaming at the top of your lungs?
Is that what you think is okay?
Really?
That is really what you think is okay?
And if you do, why?
Why do you think that's okay?
I wouldn't want somebody's daughter playing tackle football against my sons.
Do you know why?
Because they would crush her.
Just like I don't want a young man competing against my daughter in lacrosse or in field hockey or softball or fencing or swimming or racing.
Because it's just not fair.
I don't understand why we're going backwards.
We're segregating, we're putting men above women, we're allowing pedophilia in front of children.
I mean, doesn't it sound really wrong?
Again, you know why it sounds wrong?
Because it is wrong.
That's why.
This is not hard stuff, guys.
This is the basics.
And we got really lost somewhere along the way.
And I just don't know how the hell we're gonna get back unless we decide that we're gonna stand up and do it.
I'm gonna end the show tonight with one really great story.
Obviously, there's been a ton of terrible, terrible uh hurricanes and tornadoes and floods all over the country over the past week, and people are really struggling.
And there was a uh flooded school in Western Port, Maryland on Tuesday, last week.
And because rescuers were unable to get to all of the children in a timely manner, and they were trying to get all the kids out of the school.
This father knew his daughter was in there.
And he went and he swam in these flooded waters, and he brought his daughter out, and she's resting on his on his shoulders.
And there's a lot of people who are like, hey, you know, that's not right, you're putting people at risk, you know, you risk her life, you risked your life, you know, and others are saying he's the father of the year.
And as far as I'm concerned, if my child is stuck in a school and there aren't enough emergency people there to do what needs to be done, and the kids are gonna drown to death, and I'm standing there, you better believe I'm going in there to get my child.
There is no way.
And the quote here says there isn't a hundred men that would have stopped me.
God bless them, I agree.
You would not get in between me and my child ever.
And I think that is the theme of today's show.
You better stop letting people get between you and your child.
That is your child.
That is your most precious thing.
The government doesn't give a shit about you.
It certainly doesn't care about your child.
It wants to control you.
It wants to take your child and make another robot to do whatever it wants to do in the most deviant way possible.
Stop it.
Stop it now.
Stand up for the kids.
Please.
I know I am.
This has been the rogue recap.
I'm really grateful that you guys are here.
I'm doing my best to post these every day, but sometimes it's hard because I think I told you guys before I'm doing this all myself, soup to nuts.
It's fun, but it's a lot of work.
But uh, I'm gonna try to get them out as often as I can.
Sometimes it'll be three days a week, sometimes it'll be four days a week, sometimes it'll be five days a week, depends on how crazy it is.
But I'm enjoying every minute of it with you.
So check us out on social at Rogue Recap uh at Linda Mick, it's Linda with a Y, M I C K. And uh, we'll see you here tomorrow.
