This is the Rogue Recap and you are here with your host, Linda McLaughlin.
She is pissed off, outraged, and has zero patience 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.

Hey guys, welcome.
I hope everybody had a terrific weekend.
It is Monday, Jan 12.
And if you were paying attention to the events of the weekend, which I really hope you were, you saw the amazing, amazing and brave people of Iran pushing back against Islamic clerics and radicals who have been taking away every string and strain of freedom and liberty.
That the Iranian people have even ever hoped to have a glimpse of.
When you look at how many lives are being taken, how many lives are being broken, the amount of women that have been raped, oppressed, the amount of children that have been raped and oppressed, boys and girls, by a religion that claims to be the almighty, Islam.
And that it only speaks to one God, Allah.
And it is so perverted and coerced.
And it has been used for decades now to hurt and to suppress.
You know, if I could see a Muslim outpouring, right?
Like just people that came out and they're like, I'm Muslim and I am against what is happening in Palestine.
I'm Muslim and I am against.
What is happening to the Kurds in Syria and Turkey.
I am against what is happening to women all over the Middle East.
But you never see that.
You never see those marches.
You see rabid, stupid, white people who know nothing about the religion, and then you see rabid and indoctrinated Muslim people who will practice the art of Takiyah Which is sanctioned, it is sanctioned by Islam.
They will tell you in the Quran that it is okay to lie to the infidel, anybody who is not Muslim, and practice taqiyya, which is to say whatever it is that you need to say to convince them to be your friend and to bring in and to coerce and confuse.
So that you can either kill them, harm them, control them, whatever it is.
The average person is unaware of these things.
And the middle of the rotors will tell you, that's not true.
There's bad in every religion.
Every religion is horrible.
The Catholics have the pedophiles and the Amish are weird and the Jewish people are stealing from everyone.
Okay, tell me the religion that's going out and bombing everybody, stabbing everybody, raping everybody, and has grooming gangs.
Let's talk about that religion.
Because that religion is a problem.
And every time there is massive fraud, lack of assimilation, and crime, and murder, and a rise, and all of these things all at once, it's one religion.
And I have a friend of mine who tells me all the time, well, America has been involved in wars in the Middle East for years.
And so we displace these people and they have nowhere else to go but America.
And they have a right to bring their culture and practice their religion.
Sure.
Okay.
No problem.
I can get down with that.
But that's not what's happening.
They're not coming to America and saying, oh, you know what?
It's much freer.
We have freedom here.
We have liberty here.
We have the ability to prosper here.
They say, no, we're going to move here.
We're going to take over entire neighborhoods in the most disruptive way possible.
We're going to play the call to prayer across American cities and states so that you have to hear our religion all day, every day.
And then when you say that it's annoying or you don't want to hear it, we're going to call you racist.
That's what's going to happen.
This is what is happening right now in America.
And people are afraid to say what's what.
If you talk to Mossab Youssef, who is the son of the founder of the PLO, the Palestinian Authority, he will tell you that Americans are being played for a fool.
If you talk to Brigitte Gabriel, who is an incredible human being, I've interviewed her on this show, and she's been a friend for many years.
This is a woman who grew up in Lebanon as a Christian, and lived underground, in a small box underground, with her mother and her father.
Because they were murdering Christians, especially women, only after they raped them, of course, and tortured them.
And if you look at October 7th with your eyes open, you will see young women being taken and brutally raped and tortured, then murdered, set on fire, stabbed to death.
Children with their skulls crushed.
And why?
Because they're not Muslim.
And women that are in predominantly Muslim countries?
Whether it be Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, women are stoned to death.
Never forget the movie The Stoning of Soraya M, which is where they buried a woman up to her neck for the crime of adultery.
There was no crime of adultery.
Her husband just didn't want her alive anymore, so he claimed that she did do it.
Well, that's punishable by death.
And they stoned her to death and had her children throw stones at her.
Imagine dying, being buried up to your neck.
And dying from skull fractures while men in the community were allowed to throw these stones at your head, including your own children, who were forced to do it.
These are the realities of Islam.
And the issue is people don't want to talk about it.
They don't want to offend people.
Okay, so tell me where I'm wrong.
Tell me that Somali communities in Minnesota right now don't have the highest welfare dependence.
Don't have the highest fraud and aren't being aided and abetted by white liberals while they practice a lack of assimilation and an Islamic takeover in that community.
Show me the mosques in Texas, the Epic Center, being aided and abetted by rhino senators like Cornett.
Show me what is happening all across Brooklyn and Queens now that we have a communist Does this seem normal?
Does this seem inclusive?
We have women in Iran right now that are risking everything to go out against the Islamic regime, these radical clerics who oppress everything.
These are their own people.
It's not like they're like a bunch of white people running around Iran.
This is anything that does not subscribe and completely and totally capitulate to Islam.
They will kill you.
And in countries like Iran, they don't have to care about liberty and freedom because they've suppressed it for the last 40 years.
They don't give a shit about your feelings for real.
Over 500 people, and I'm sure that that number is much higher, have been killed in Iran because the regime is in there with soldiers who fear for their lives, I am sure, and are being told, These are unarmed protesters.
If you're on X, which is the only place that they can post to, it's the only way that they can reach outside of the walls of Iran to show the world what is happening.
And they are telling you, we are being set on fire.
We are being shot point blank in the head.
Children, men, women, women are being raped in the street because they're taking off their And they're dancing and they're singing, which is committing, that's committing a sin in Iran.
Can you imagine these white asshole liberals lasting one minute in these places?
These guys are running up and down the street trying to figure out if they're a man or a woman, screaming about how they don't want ice in their city because somebody pointed out fraud in Minnesota.
And they're crying over some woman because she decided to use her vehicle as a weapon.
Just imagine any of these people for one second being in Iran.
In Iran, they are there screaming and begging for someone to pay attention.
You know what's interesting?
They're not the right kind of minority for the American mainstream media.
They don't fit the script.
You see, the left Whether they're Democrat Republicans, I guess we'll just call them rhinos, but to me they're Democrat Republicans, right?
It's just like the uniparty.
It's one big group of assholes pretending like they have a dividing line, but they don't.
Okay?
They got a bottom of the check line.
Sign here.
Pay me off.
If you look at these people, look at these NGOs, look what the money is backing into.
You will understand why nothing is happening.
We could scream till we're blue in the face.
Why isn't anybody going to jail?
President Trump can only do so much.
But when we have leaders like Thune, like Cornyn, you know, like Johnson, these guys aren't doing the work.
We have 17 Republicans voting against stopping the fraud that is Obamacare and all of the various monies that are going to these special interest groups.
They're voting with the Democrats?
Just go be a Democrat.
Please!
I have long said that there are no parties.
There's just us and there's them, with very few exceptions.
And now I lump them in with the media because the media is complicit in not covering the crying voices of the Iranian people who need us now more than ever.
And they are telling you we are risking death.
We are in the streets.
We are rising up.
Because we cannot survive under the cleric system.
It cannot be anymore.
There is no discourse.
Everything is radicalized.
It is the most extreme version of Islam.
And it's not even Islam, right?
It's this strange, perverted version of Islam for control.
And That the mainstream media cannot step out of their own box for one minute and look at the pictures of those that have died is really sickening.
My friend Katie Hopkins, who I love, who's fighting her own battle in the UK, and she is a force to be reckoned with.
I've known her for a lot of years, and I think she's a real warrior for freedom.
Her and Tommy Robinson are just But she posted this woman's very long ex-post today.
And I'm going to butcher this poor woman's name, but it's Tamine DeBorghese, I think.
But in this post that Katie Hopkins reposted, and she said, you have to read this.
I'll just give you a quick snippet of what she said.
And I thought, man, I couldn't have said it better myself.
And I'm not going to try to.
I'm just brave woman said from inside the walls of Iran.
Covering Iran honestly would require acknowledging that these policies are harmful.
They have been tried.
They have failed catastrophically.
This is deeply inconvenient for Western media institutions that routinely promote expansive state control, centralized economic planning, and technocratic governance as morally enlightened alternatives to liberal capitalism.
Iran demonstrates where such systems lead when insulated from accountability and enforced by ideology.
It shows that when the state controls livelihoods, non-conformity becomes existentially dangerous.
That lesson cannot be acknowledged without undermining the moral authority of those who advocate similar ideas in softer language.
Western liberal media prefers not to hear this.
Abandoning the lazy moral categories that dominate modern discourse.
Oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, white and not white.
Iranian protesters do not fit.
They show that authoritarianism is not a Western invention imposed from outside, but something many societies are actively trying to escape.
That is what terrifies Western liberal media.
And that is why the Iranian people are being ignored.
I mean, damn.
You can't say that any better than that.
She is there.
She is living it. She is one of those people risking her life to step outside of the box and say, hey, assholes, do not do what is happening here.
You guys are free.
You're asking the government.
You're asking them to control you, to give you government-run grocery stores and government-run housing. And government's going to pay for everything, and we're going to own nothing so that it's equitable and fair. Except that it's not, guys. It's never worked. Not once in history. Just as we heard from Venezuelans last week, the Maduro dictatorship didn't work either. It used to be a thriving, amazing country,
just like Iran. All of these countries that start to subscribe to socialism, to communism, to groupthink, they fail. Why do they fail? Because God gave us something called free will. And whether you read the Torah or the Bible, whether you're a Christian, Catholic, or a Jewish person, you have to believe that there is a higher power that gave you the free will, that gave you those urges and creativity to be a singer, to be an artist,
to be different. But different now doesn't mean different. It means nuts. It means dye my hair blue. Pretend that I have a dick. Pretend that I can be a man playing on a woman's basketball team. That I can get into a girl's bathroom and take pictures of myself in there because I'm actually not a girl. I'm a guy and there's little kids behind me and they're going to be in my pictures. That's how deep and sick all this goes. And when you're the one screaming that it's wrong,
Bad. I don't think we should do this. You're hated. You're doxxed. Your life is threatened by the radicals. The tolerant left has now become, just like the IRGC, completely intolerant. I hope that you guys will repost and really expand these messages that these brave Iranians are putting out. Because I'll tell you what, when I look outside in New York City,
It's a pretty scary sight to see people opposing the Iranians and supporting Palestine.
It just shows you how stupid people really are and how quick they are to fall for things that they know nothing about.
