| This is an iHeart podcast. | |
| Guaranteed human. | |
| 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 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. | |
| Make sure to like and subscribe to our podcast so you never miss an episode. | |
| Well, hey there, everybody. | |
| It is Wednesday, February 4th, and I am Linda McLaughlin. | |
| This is The Rogue Recap. | |
| Please follow us, rogueRecap.com at LyndaMick at Rogue Recap. | |
| Would love to see you there and would definitely love to hear what you would like to hear on the show because the whole point of the show is to talk about things that other people aren't talking about or to talk about the things that everyone's talking about in an honest and different way. | |
| So today I wanted to focus on decorum, or rather maybe the lack thereof. | |
| So Scott Bessant, who is our Treasury Secretary, he is an incredibly educated, refined, and eloquent man. | |
| This is not someone who speaks off the cuff. | |
| This is not someone who speaks of things he does not know. | |
| He is always on point and truly is one of those people who speaks to add to the conversation. | |
| You know, some people talk just to hear themselves talk and some people talk to say, hey, just wanted to let you know that we're going to be doing X and we're going to try Y and hopefully we get to Z and does so in a way that is interesting and entertaining and informative. | |
| Then you have people like what we saw today with Maxine Waters, who was starting to be so insulting during an exchange that she had with Scott Besant that she ended up telling him to shut up. | |
| Now, we know that Maxine Waters is crude and just not very bright and older than shit and probably should have been removed from Congress a long time ago. | |
| She also has some interesting financial situations going on with her daughter and what her daughter makes and some allocations of PAC funding and such. | |
| But I mean, that seems to be the Democrat playbook. | |
| I mean, hell, it seems to be the Rhinos playbook too. | |
| So I won't go down that rabbit hole, but they were talking today during this exchange that Bessant gave before the House Financial Services Committee. | |
| Waters, shockingly, is a ranking member on this committee, which I'm sure is just tenure because she's so dumb. | |
| But she wanted this yes or no answer on tariffs. | |
| And, you know, Besson is trying to explain, right, and begin to answer. | |
| And she's just screaming at him and literally saying, reclaiming my time, reclaiming my time, which if you know anything about Maxine Waters, that is literally like she should trademark that expression because she says it all the time. | |
| And it's absurd. | |
| And so Bessant continues to try to answer. | |
| She says, can you shut up? | |
| And I'm like, oh my God, like, is there no, and he says, he's like, can you maintain some level of dignity? | |
| Like, you're so gross and you're so aggressive. | |
| And this is the Treasury Secretary. | |
| And what's interesting is when Barack Obama was in office, when Biden was in office, when Kamala was in office, if things happened during exchanges with people that were in their administration from the right to the left, there was this very hostile and extreme reaction, right? | |
| oh, you can't talk to these people like that. | |
| They're elected officials. | |
| This is the will of the people, which now we know given the audit that's happening in Atlanta, Georgia, perhaps all the votes that Biden got may not have been so real, but we'll leave that there for a moment as we look into more of that. | |
| And I have no doubt that there is going to be more and more coming out of that as the FBI continues to look into it. | |
| And as the DNI director, Tulsi Gabbard, is now involved at who was complicit in assisting in the fraud, which there seems to be no end to. | |
| But Maxine Waters has this history of just saying the most egregiously revolting things. | |
| You know, you get in their face, you tear them up, you go out tonight, you shut them down. | |
| And I'm like, who talks? | |
| You're a congresswoman, you know, and it's so, it really is just enough. | |
| I remember during one of Barack Obama's State of the Union addresses, and Joe Wilson, who was a Republican congressman, yelled out, you lie in the middle of the State of the Union. | |
| And everybody was like, I mean, in an uproar. | |
| It was like the biggest deal, right? | |
| And now you fast forward to 2026 and it is disgusting. | |
| I mean, we have members of Congress during committee hearings just screaming at each other. | |
| And I will say, truthfully, I am completely and totally against these committee hearings. | |
| I think they are absurd. | |
| I don't think they offer the American people one ounce of clarity. | |
| It is literally just entertainment and these people enjoying their moment, right? | |
| I want to be on camera. | |
| I want to be noticed. | |
| Every once in a while, there's somebody who really stands out, like Brandon Gill of Texas, when he had his exchange with Jack Smith. | |
| And he was basically saying to him, like, I think you might be using the law in a way that no one else ever has because it's not legal. | |
| I mean, this kid's not even, he's not a lawyer. | |
| You know, he's like in his 30s, you know, young dad, young husband, elected to Congress and just doing his best to ask honest questions. | |
| And it's funny what happens when your questions come from a place of authenticity. | |
| You're just, you're just asking. | |
| You're just trying to figure it out. | |
| So, anyways, I thought that that was something to be looked at today. | |
| You know, there were a few people that were just making some really gross and inappropriate comments, you know, from the dais. | |
| And it's just, it's unnecessary. | |
| And whether it's Eric Swalwell out on his, you know, talking posts crushing ICE and saying they all, he's going to take away their licenses and arrest them when he gets into office or Nadler saying, you know, that they have the right to kill these agents because they have masks on and you don't know that they're an ICE agent. | |
| I'm like, I'm sorry. | |
| I'm pretty sure they're in uniform. | |
| Like, it's just, I don't know. | |
| There's just, there's a lot going on right now. | |
| And I think it's silly for the left to claim that they are the party of tolerance and they want peace and they want love and kindness and acceptance. | |
| They should just be honest and say, we want to kill the right. | |
| We can't stand that you're up for law and order. | |
| We can't stand that you don't want illegal immigrants here because we need our voting base. | |
| So we're just going to flip the script and scream. | |
| Now, in addition to that, we're seeing this foundational issue, which is people leading their students into protests on the streets. | |
| And the reason that they're doing that is because they're trying to indoctrinate our kids. | |
| So tonight in LA, we've got middle schoolers and high schoolers that are currently heading over to federal buildings and protesting. | |
| And it's a walkout from their school. | |
| So they're leaving their school. | |
| They're protesting in, you know, in front of a federal detention center. | |
| They've got the LAPD in riot gear. | |
| They're throwing things at the LAPD. | |
| You know, I was just saying this the other day to my husband. | |
| I said, you cannot defend yourself as a conservative in this nation. | |
| You know, when these throngs of Antifa cartels come to you and they attack you, I mean, we saw a group of high school students beat up a teacher yesterday. | |
| We've seen Nick Sortor and Nick Shirley attacked by groups of Somalis and groups of these anti-ICE, anti-government people out in the street. | |
| They're guarding the street. | |
| They're saying that you can't pass through unless they run your license plate through their tracker. | |
| I don't even know how the hell any of this is even allowed. | |
| I mean, you try to drive through that. | |
| They attack you. | |
| They attack your car. | |
| At what point are you allowed to protect yourself? | |
| At what point are you allowed to stand up and say, hey, you scumbags, get away from my car. | |
| All you blue-haired freaks running around, blocking the road, blocking my way. | |
| I don't give a shit about what you're here for. | |
| I don't care what you're doing. | |
| I don't want to be a part of it. | |
| I just want to drive my car down the street and get away from you. | |
| But they've decided that what they're doing is more important than what you're doing. | |
| And then when the LAPD or the Minneapolis Police Department or the ICE agents or Department of Homeland Security or Border Patrol, whatever law enforcement officer happens to be there, whoever they are, decides that they are actually going to enforce the law that you are breaking in the name of social justice or whatever bullshit excuse you're using, then they all get upset. | |
| Oh, they fired gas at us. | |
| They ran us over with their cars that I was standing in front of and kicking the shit out of and breaking the lights on. | |
| I mean, there's just no common sense or rationale. | |
| And the problem is these are kids. | |
| These are middle school and high school kids. | |
| And let me tell you something else. | |
| These schools have a liability. | |
| When you send your child to school, they are supposed to be in school. | |
| They are supposed to be safe. | |
| They are supposed to be in those buildings learning for a set amount of time. | |
| I'm wondering what insurance policy is saying, hey, if you want to take your kids out on an unauthorized protest in the middle of the street, throwing things at Los Angeles police officers in front of a federal building, we got that. | |
| We'll cover that for you. | |
| Am I the only one asking this question? | |
| If I was a parent and I was home and I've seen some of this online, parents finding out that their kids were forced to participate or because they didn't participate, were antagonized and threatened by not just other students who have been completely and totally brainwashed, but the teachers and the supervisors and the security and the counselors and the principals are attacking the kids. | |
| I have to tell you, there is nothing more sacred than our children. | |
| And if we don't start protecting them against these rabid lunatics that call themselves educators, we're going to be in a world of trouble. | |
| We have to stop. | |
| It's not a thing. | |
| And I know that there are, there's a lot of news, right? | |
| Like people are super hyper-focused on things that are happening in their communities that are happening in their local environments. | |
| But we are on a precipice right now, really, of just complete and total civil unrest. | |
| I'm watching what's going on in Iran. | |
| I'm watching these people march through the street and get truly murdered, point blank range, grandmothers, babies, people of all ages, shapes and sizes marching for freedom against the Islamic regime. | |
| There is not a peep out of the Hollywood elite. | |
| There is not a button that I see on anyone's, any star at the Grammys. | |
| There's nobody going into People magazine saying, I escaped this horrible thing. | |
| We don't have any of that. | |
| And they are begging the Americans. | |
| They are begging President Trump to come and rescue them with the little bit of access that they have to the free world. | |
| And then you have these people, you know, at Columbia University, you got Jewish students at Columbia chanting, God bless America. | |
| And then you got the pro-Palestine students chanting death to America. | |
| And there is, there's just no way to bridge that divide. | |
| And part of it is, too, a lot of these young people that are out there protesting and saying that, you know, get out ice out and fuck ice. | |
| And, you know, we hate the police. | |
| We hate all EOs of any kind. | |
| This is one of those things where you get to a spot and you say, at what point do you realize that you are supporting the people that are hurting children? | |
| You are supporting the people that are hurting women. | |
| You are supporting the people that are murdering American citizens. | |
| Nobody is out there looking at all of the names of the American victims that their lives have been taken too soon by people who are here illegally. | |
| But yet they'll stand out there and they'll support these Antifa rioters. | |
| I've heard more about Renee Good and Alex Pretty than I ever heard from the left about Irina Knutsa, who literally was taking the railroad home at night after working at a pizza shop. | |
| Oh, and she came here illegally as a refugee from war-torn Ukraine. | |
| Just saying, nobody gave a shit about that immigrant. | |
| And that's the kind of stuff that we see as bias. | |
| You know, many people, including the Department of Homeland Security, have been putting out these ads of all of the American citizens, some of them as young as two and three years old, taken by illegal immigrants in their actions. | |
| And then they'll say, well, you know, yeah, sure, they killed this person, but they were here for 10 years. | |
| Yeah, 10 years illegally. | |
| If they were never here, that child would be alive. | |
|

|
| That's what we're trying to say. | |
| But it's so against their social wokeness, they can't even get outside of themselves to see the forest through the trees. | |
| You know, there was a guy today in Colorado, drunk as a skunk, and he was pulled over. | |
| He had three kids in the trunk of his car. | |
| Nobody thinks that that police officer that pulled over that guy and saved those three kids. | |
| You're not happy about that? | |
| Who are you supporting in that situation? | |
| Don't get me wrong. | |
| I haven't had the best of interactions and encounters with police officers. | |
| In fact, they've all been not so great. | |
| But if my choice is to side with the people that are out there saying that they want to come into our country and murder people or they want to go out there and protect the kids and get the pedophiles, it's really not a hard choice. | |
| I'm not going out in front of federal buildings. | |
| I'm not throwing bottles and rocks at police officers. | |
| And I'm sure as hell not protecting pedophiles. | |
| And I really don't understand what the Democrats' message is on any of this. | |
| When you're leading kids out of their assigned time of learning to lead them against police officers and riot, we are, we're in deep shit, guys. | |
| And we got to get out. | |
| You've got to take a stronger interest in your kids and fight back against these woke assholes that think they have a right to indoctrinate them with unfounded beliefs. | |
| We got to do it. | |
| We got to get back to God and we got to get back to morality and we got to get back to common sense. | |
| I know it's a foregone conclusion. | |
| You would think that would be easy, but it's not. | |
