KERRVILLE, TX., HATEFUL DEMS AND YOUR GRANDPARENTS
The people of Kerrville, Texas, are still struggling and going through the aftermath of these floods and the many tragedies it has left behind. Rescue and recovery crews are hard at work, and people and animals alike are being found every day. We do our best to keep these people in our prayers. We also cover the democrats and their absurd lies. What can we actually do about it? Some republicans, too, for that matter. And lastly, what would your grandparents think about all this woke as a joke stuff? @RogueRecap @LyndaMickSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, hey, everybody.
Thursday night here, recording around midnight.
And I'm going to start off the show just thinking about the people of Kerrville, Texas.
You know, I was talking to a friend today who's from Texas.
And she and I were discussing just how out of the news this horrible tragedy is.
We lost so many children.
We lost so many people just senselessly, sadly, so unprepared for these natural disasters.
And I use the word natural very, very loosely.
And uh I won't get into that right now because that's not what I want to start the show off with.
But I just I ask you to please, if you can give, give, you know, find out who the local people are that are on the ground that are working with, you know, the divers and the search teams and people that are, I mean, they've lost everything.
You know, their houses are down the river.
There was like a whole area of RVs that got sucked under the water, and they're they're still really struggling down there.
So as we move on and we talk about all sorts of other things like the Epstein files or whatever.
Just remember that the death count as of today from the flooding, it's 135 people.
Um and 116 of them are writing Kerrville.
And it's just, it's really sad.
And my heart breaks for them.
It really does.
And I'm so sad at the way that we as a nation dealt with it as soon as it happened.
You know, all these people coming out saying, oh, who cares?
That's mega country, that's little white people, little white kids, all this.
It's just not the time, guys.
It's just not the time for racism or politicization.
It's it's a time to be a human being and help.
Um I'm sure that wouldn't have been tolerated during Hurricane Katrina.
Just thinking out loud for a minute.
But really sad thinking of them and and honestly also thinking about all the pets, you know.
Um, I've made several donations this week to different local spots, and one of them was to a place that's taking care of all the pets they're finding because either they got lost in the flood or their owners succumbed to the floods.
Um, they're injured as well, and they're lost, they need foster homes, they need care.
And it's just, it's just really sad.
And it we're we're not even a year out from what happened in North Carolina with Hurricane Helene.
And it's the same kind of thing, you know.
It's like we set up camp, we broadcast from there for a few days, we cover, you know, people and their families who have lost their whole world.
I mean, I saw one guy, he lost his entire family, his wife and his children, and he held on as long as he could, and then he lost grip and they all died, and he lived.
I mean, I can't even fathom the survivors' guilt that that guy's gonna have for the rest of his days on this earth.
I I cannot imagine for one moment how that would feel.
And I'm so grateful that I don't have to feel it.
But it's um there's just a real heaviness to it.
And, you know, while the rest of the world is freaking out about how we can save an illegal immigrant who raped a child.
I want to focus back in on people who really need us, people who need prayer, people who need funds, and people who need help, and we just gotta give a little.
Everybody's gotta give whatever they can.
Um, and there's just so many places, you know, whether we were, I know I keep going back to this, but there's just so much of this, whether it's the Palisades, Hawaii, what happened in North Carolina, parts of Tennessee and Georgia.
You know, we're looking at places like Texas, and it's um, it's just really sad.
So we just need to keep them in our prayers and uh and really just focus on what we can do to help.
I know that's what I'm gonna try to do and try to stay away from the idiots who make it ugly, any uglier than it already is, that's for sure.
And I was totally in the same vein.
Chip Roy today was testifying about public radio funding because MPR, which is national public radio, is pushing very hard to get more funding from the government as President Trump and his administration is slashing the funding that goes to them because they are so liberal.
And it doesn't really make a lot of sense to have taxpayer funds go to something that is so one-sided.
If you're going to be one-sided, then you can get your funds from private endorsement and investment.
You don't need taxpayer dollars because you are not representing the taxpayers.
You're representing a very select group of people to whom you wish to have an echo chamber with.
So good luck with that.
Plenty of people out there who would love to give their money, all these anti-capitalists who want to spread their message.
Yeah, it's gonna go real well, I'll tell you that much.
But Congressman Chiproy, whose community has been really hard hit by these floods.
Um, he spoke today in a hearing, and it was just so spot on.
You know, it's kind of like that Burgess Owens tape that I played the other day.
You know, sometimes if you really hone in and you just focus on what you're saying, you it's just remarkable what you can achieve.
And Congressman Chip Roy of Texas did it here.
Take a listen.
A lot of folks here talking about and extolling the virtues of of NPR, PBS, public broadcasting and so forth.
And you know, talked about how you know they're cutting their funding is somehow gonna endanger uh communities and rural communities.
Well, when the floods were hitting the people that I represent.
Um, it took NPR through Texas Public Radio 19 hours as opposed to anything about the flooding on its social media.
What was NPR and TPR doing in the interim?
What were they doing in the morning at four, five, six, seven in the morning when private radio stations that I listened to and that I talked to were breaking in and br and and presenting the information to the news, they were they were playing a program, a DC-based program, lobbying Congress for billions of dollars to continue their funding.
When the flood hit at four in the morning, instead of providing local news, they were airing the morning edition of the Washington DC.
Well, that's fine.
They already had it pre-taped.
I get that, but they didn't break in like the local stations did and so forth.
Um, the seven private stations posted over 70 alerts on their social pages throughout the day, starting at 724 in the morning.
My point being, private stations in the communities in which I live were there for the people of Texas.
They were there presenting the information necessary.
And the public stations were completely MIA.
I mean, well done, sir.
Exactly right.
This is what we're talking about.
If you cannot be there when you are most needed, then we will not be there for you.
There's absolutely no reason why an organization like MPR and other public radio stations should be getting any taxpayer money if the only thing they want to push is a liberal agenda when it suits them to do so.
And to his point, yeah, sure, okay, you had a show that was pre-taped.
We understand it happens.
But when there's breaking news, that means it's happening right now.
So you have to get a reporter in there to get on and to start telling people where to go and what to do.
And here's the thing public radio is typically something that people in their community listen to, because a lot of times it's where they're going to get, you know, their local information if it's being run right.
So if at that time, you know, when everything's falling apart, the only thing they had was the radio in their car or a transistor radio that they had in their house or maybe in their garage or whatever it is, right?
It's a real problem if they can't get any information.
Because on those radios in your car and on those transistor radios is where you get AM frequency.
And that AM frequency may be the difference between you finding your way to higher ground, knowing that it's coming your way, what direction it's coming, and being caught off guard and not being able to live to see another day.
And him really being so direct and to the point in this hearing, just kind of just set it, set a tone, in my opinion.
Because they want to argue and say that, you know, President Trump and his agenda and his administration are just attacking the people's voice.
Were you the voice of the people that day?
July 4th weekend when little children were dying And you were playing a can segment because that was what was easier for you.
And even still, you couldn't post on social media.
Why wouldn't you put a post on social media?
How hard is that?
I don't know.
It's you get to this spot where there just aren't any excuses left.
And you have to say, well, that's willful.
You willfully didn't post that.
You willfully didn't put in the extra effort.
You willfully made a decision not to help because of your political affiliations and what you thought was more important.
And that's what happened there.
And you know, kudos to Chip Roy for having the balls to say it and kind of lay it on the line.
Because that's what we need more of.
We need more people doing that.
And we need more people speaking out.
And it's it's an over, it's an overarching problem throughout our country with people not being able to address real issues and common sense issues, as I was saying in the laps last episode.
I had a guy email me today.
I don't know who he is.
He got my email from God knows where.
But he sent this email to me and he goes, you guys need to stop talking about mom Donnie.
You guys need to stop talking about AOC and the squad and Bernie Sanders and all the things they're doing wrong.
And you need to start talking about conservative candidates that can replace them.
And I agree with that.
I do think we need to spend more time talking about the voices that will actually make a difference and can replace the seats of rabid and hyper liberal democrats without question.
Here's the problem.
People like Kami Donny have so much money.
While he screams that he is a man of the people and says that no one should own private property and we should all be in government uh food stores and capitalism should be a thing of the past.
He comes from privilege, as do most of these lunatics covering their faces and their heads because they believe in their message so much they don't want you to know who they are.
I mean, honestly, that's what we're dealing with.
I saw one of these idiots get arrested the other day, and he's screaming because the police are unmasking them so that they can write down descriptions and figure out who they are, and he's screaming that he has a right to have his mask on.
And the police officer, she like just looked at him, she's like, No, you don't.
You do not have a right to cover your face right now.
You will be exposed for doing what you're doing and protesting.
If you believe in anti-Semitism so much that you want to come up to where young people are trying to go to school or head in for an extra class or whatever it is in the summer, and you want to come up and scream at them as a man, I don't know, this guy looked like he was probably in his late 40s, early 50s, screaming and yelling at these kids because they're Jewish.
You don't want anybody to know who you are?
Oh well, too late.
We're gonna start exposing you.
But my point in saying that is there is this blind herd mentality of just going along with this ridiculous commandani, Bernie Sanders, AOC.
And what I would love to see happen is to have these idiots sit down and have to answer real questions.
I don't think they could.
I don't think they could tell you, you know, you know, like Kami Donnie says he's a socialist or whatever.
He couldn't tell you the tenets of socialism, he couldn't tell you where it worked, because it never did, but he couldn't tell you what nation it originated from or how it worked in other countries, you know, what how do people fare after communism?
You know, and then you have people like from Russia, from Cuba, from Georgia, you know, talking to you and saying, you have no idea what it is like to be under the thumb of the government that wants to oppress you and keep you and not allow you to do anything.
If you just take a look at what is happening right now in the streets of Spain, or take a look at what is happening in in London, you know, it's all across the UK, but London's pretty bad.
And I remember going to London just like five or six years ago and thinking, man, I don't see a lot of people from London here.
And I started to ask people, oh, where are you from?
Where are you from?
Just asking.
I'm from Afghanistan, I'm from Pakistan.
Oh, okay.
I'm from Uzbekistan.
Uh-huh.
Why are you here?
Oh, well, we're spreading the word of Islam.
Oh, that's great.
Okay.
It's they weren't like, oh, we wanted a better life, or we heard it, we you know, my my husband or my wife had a great job opportunity.
It's, oh, they have a really good welfare program.
And so we thought we'd come and loaf around for, you know, I don't know, 50, 60 years.
What?
I remember a guy I used to work with, and he married a girl from Germany.
And it was like right, it was right before Trump.
It was like maybe like 2014, and we were talking, and he said, I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna marry my wife and we're gonna go there and have our kids and live our life in Germany.
And I was like, why?
And he's like, well, you get subsidies and I would be an immigrant.
I'm like, that that's why you want to go to Germany.
He's like, yeah, because then I could work less and you know, we could just spend more time.
And I'm like, what is this mentality?
I'm not saying work has to be your whole life, but the lack of desire to work, to have your own money, to be your own person, this is like a it's like an illness.
And I I really commend you know the people like in California that started looking into who was funding all the rioters because once they did, it all stopped, right?
Because those people didn't work, they were getting paid to riot, and they were just loafing around all day, blocking the streets and blocking the highways and blocking the roads for regular folks like me and you that are trying to get to work.
I mean, it's just it's a it's an entire cultural mindset in this country that we are unable to just say what is happening.
And this whole thing of like, you know, we are trying to take illegals out of our country because you know, we don't like black and brown people, and the only people in the detention center are black and brown people, there's no Europeans there.
Well, let's talk about that for a minute.
If the most amount of crossings came from the southern border, and the southern border borders Mexico, and people from Latin America, not just Latin America, because we did have people there from China because the cartels were working with people in Mexico and shipping people over from China, but that's a little bit of a rabbit hole.
But who do you expect to be in the detention centers?
There's a larger scale of people coming from Ecuador, Honduras, uh, Uruguay, and Mexico.
They're not coming from Croatia.
So yeah, you're gonna see more people that are Hispanic.
That's just the way it is.
And these Congress people are saying it like it's a selective, you know, opportunity for the ICE agents to go now.
This time we're gonna take five whites and four blacks and three Hispanics.
That's not what's happening.
They're raiding places that they know have under, you know, underlying issues with cartels, money laundering, human trafficking, sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and the you the illegal use of minors for all of it.
So we should be we should be in favor of this.
We should be happy about this.
We should be saying yes.
Go and save the children, but they don't.
They can't.
And it's interesting, you know, if we look at the way that illegal aliens were treated when Obama and Biden were in office, and we look at those detention centers, those were terrible detention centers.
Those people were wrapped up in tinfoil, they had no place to go to the bathroom.
The cages literally look like something you would see outside for animals.
Now we have facilities where we're trying to keep people held until we can figure out what is going on with their immigration status.
And it's not a perfect system, and nobody's saying it is, but it took a long time to break it.
So it's gonna take a little time to fix it.
And since we're just about six months in, I think we're doing okay.
Doesn't mean we're not gonna have mistakes, and some of them are gonna be big.
But this whole idea that we are running Nazi camps, I mean, that's disgusting.
Have you do you not know your history at all?
I mean, just go read the diary of Anne Frank.
You want to talk about what really happened in Auschwitz.
You really want to talk about how people had to hide for their lives.
These people are not hiding for their lives.
They came here willingly.
They worked here illegally and made a choice to not become legal.
They had a long time to become legal.
They didn't.
There's people who lived here for 20, 30 years.
And they'll tell you, I never learned the language.
I've always worked.
I always send my money back.
So they're repatriating funds to their countries of origin.
They're not putting money back into the system.
And then you wonder why our debt our debt and deficit are so ridiculously high.
That's why.
It is a serious struggle to talk to people about the things that they're saying when everything they're saying is so egregiously false.
And I was saying the other day, there should be accountability for that.
There should be some sort of, I don't know, penalty for lying when you're testifying or making a statement in front of Congress.
You know, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, you know, These are all terrible people.
Then you couple those idiots, because they're like the newer idiots, with the Senator Warrens, the Senator Warners, Senator Cornyn, Senator Thune, previously Senator McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, Chuck Schumer.
I mean, these people have made a career out of lying on the House floor.
It's one thing to bend the truth so that it sounds more like it's on your side and that the Democrats are doing better than the Republicans, but that's not what's happening.
It's just out and out lying.
They're saying things that are not true.
And nobody ever calls them on it.
Like if I was a reporter and I was in some kind of gaggle, and AOC was saying things like, they're just kept in horrible conditions.
I would say, okay, so what justifies horrible to you?
What's horrible about it?
What did you see?
Well, they're in cages.
Okay.
Well, that was under Biden and Obama.
They're not in cages anymore.
Now they're at detention facilities.
So they're places with beds, cots, and bathrooms.
What are you upset about?
Are you upset because we weren't letting them roam free?
What's more important?
American victims and their lives that were taken too soon, unfairly, in some some cases, just the worst and absolutely most horrific ways possible by people who never should have been here, or people who never should have been here going through a process of being deported and being given the option to work with DHS and ICE so that they can come back legally.
That's what you're comparing to Nazi concentration camps.
It's absolutely disgusting.
And I think they should be charged.
I think that for every lie that they tell on the floor, they're charged 50 to 100.
I guarantee you it will stop.
Without accountability, we cannot expect change because there is no incentive to stop.
So this is what we have to do.
We have to start making them.
It's almost like when you swear and you got to put a dollar in the cookie jar.
You have to make them accountable.
You want to lie on the floors of Congress?
No problem.
50 bucks for every lie you tell, 50 bucks.
And I'm talking about out and out lies and saying stupid things like the guy who says it's completely racist and we're targeting black and brown people, or it's cages like Nazi camps.
Or the woman who said that she was kidnapped, you know, by ICE, meanwhile was all fake and stage, and the liberal media never corrects it.
That's the stuff we're talking about.
And part of it is because we have raised an entire generation of weak people, very weak people who don't know how to stand up for themselves and sure as hell don't know how to stand up for the country.
And to that point, I found a very, very funny uh piece of audio that I'm gonna end the show with tonight.
I think you're really gonna enjoy it.
It's woke as a joke meets your grandparents.
Pretty funny stuff.
Take a listen.
I just want to rest, Paw Paw.
You've been resting since birth, son.
Shovels over there.
Grandma, I need a safe space.
Go stand in the shed and talk to Jesus.
I think I need a mental health day.
Back in my day, we called that Saturday.
I've got anxiety problems.
Sweetheart.
When I had anxiety, I called it Wednesday and kept on cooking.
I'm having an existential crisis.
Try having gout and a mortgage.
Grandma, I need to find myself.
Try the mirror, unless that's broke too.
Grandma, I've got low self-esteem.
So do these biscuits.
Still rise anyway.
I just got dumped again.
So did last night's casserole.
Move on.
How funny is that, right?
This is the way that kids need to be raised.
You spend way too much time taking pictures of yourself, taking pictures of your food, taking pictures of the sky, taking pictures of, I mean, whatever.
Go to work.
Read a book.
Touch some grass.
Dear God.
Enough already.
I can't even imagine, honestly, what would happen today if we were ever under attack.
I was talking to a friend yesterday, and he said to me, I have this new position, but I'm looking for somebody 50 or older because I can't find anybody younger that has the ability to work and think critically.
How sad is that?
I was like, oh my God.
He said, I keep hiring them.
I have to fire them because they're late or they're on their phone or they're in the bathroom too long because they have to vape or whatever.
They're I mean, it's absurd.
This just isn't the way that real life works.
It's just not.
And at some point, it's all gonna come back to bite us in the ass.
So we might as well wake up now and try to fix it.
