Linda McLaughlin’s Rogue Recap slams Senator Tom Tillis for prioritizing a dog parade over the SAVE Act, warning of election fraud by illegal aliens—backed by claims like Georgia’s disputed results and a letter from Harris, Warren, and Wyden. She ties open borders to 250,000 U.S. fentanyl deaths, 4,000 migrant fatalities under Biden, and MS-13/Sinaloa cartel crimes, while praising Trump’s border policies and condemning liberal mockery of medal recipients like Royce Williams (Korean War) and Sarah Beckstrom (killed by an Afghan immigrant). The episode argues politics must never undermine safety or American values, framing the SAVE Act as essential to prevent fraud and "undeserving" officials from reshaping democracy.

Hot takes, cold facts, and zero respect for the official narrative.
Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap.
Rogue style.
What's up, guys, and welcome.
This is the Rogue Recap.
It is Thursday, February 26th, and I am Linda McLaughlin.
Happy to be here with you.
Follow us at LindaMick at Rogue Recap.
And wow, good times today.
We have Tom Tillis, who is currently blocking the new Fed chair, Worsch, and also a major pain in the ass when it comes to the Save Act, in the Senate building today for a dog parade.
And so we have Leader Thun telling us that, you know, there's no time to do a talking filibuster, which is why we're having so much trouble getting the SAVE Act to the floor is because we don't have time.
Now, these assholes work probably somewhere between 130 to 180 days a year.
So for the rest of us who are putting it in 80 to 100 hours a week, these guys are riding around congressional hallways with their dogs in a dog parade.
Truly, the dogs of Congress parade.
I am not making this up.
If you look up Tom Tillis, who is a freaking huge rhino and has been a massive disappointment for the state of North Carolina, he is currently today walking around and parading his dog.
It's an embarrassment.
It's disgusting.
He's disgusting.
And I am so over it.
And the fact that these morons, now Tillis isn't rerunning, so he doesn't give a shit.
But the fact that these morons think there is anything more important than the SAVE Act, I am, I truly have no words.
No words at all.
It is the most important piece of legislation that we can pass.
Because if we do not pass the SAVE Act, the following things happen.
And they happen in succession very swiftly.
We do not win the midterms because there will be so much fraud and so much illegal voting by illegal aliens and Democrats.
And then they will flip every single seat that they can, blue.
And then they will debunk and completely demoralize our president at every turn.
He will be a lame dog president, unable to get anything through Congress.
And then they will pack the Supreme Court.
That's what's going to happen.
It's not debatable.
It's not, oh, well, that's not true.
You know, our elections are fair.
Are they?
Really?
Have you looked at Georgia lately?
Anybody who thinks we have free and fair elections is out of their mind or nefarious.
If you look at how hard they are pushing back, 84% of Americans, Democrats and Republicans, this is not a partisan issue, want free and fair elections.
Now, to that point, if you look at Stacey Abrams or Hillary Clinton, when they talked about the 2016 election and the fact that Donald Trump won, all they talked about was that it was stolen and that Russia had infiltrated.
And there's no way that the American people voted for this guy.
Well, surprise, yes, we did.
And we voted for him again and again.
But the issue is that they wanted to take a closer look.
There was a letter that Senator Kamala Harris and Senator Elizabeth Warren, and I think it was Ron Wyden.
I have to look it up.
But they had sent a letter stating that they didn't want to have this new election software in any of our, in any of our states, because they had seen the ability to flip votes, to go in and alter votes.
I mean, so simply, all you had to say was that it didn't look right and you weren't sure.
So then you just go in, you delete it and you change it.
And there were ton of tons of people that have been folks that have overseen and been a part of our elections for years.
And they were like, we've never seen anything like this.
Like if you can't read a ballot, you have to, you know, either make a judgment call or it gets thrown out.
They were just, oh, we can't read it.
We'll change it to Democrat.
I mean, there was literally nothing else said.
And then we had all these pre-filled ballots.
I mean, there was a woman here in Pennsylvania who talked about she got tens of thousands of ballots for early voting here in Pennsylvania sent in to be recorded.
And they all had the same handwriting, the same ink, the same date.
I mean, they came from the same location.
This is not how regular voting happens.
It's just not.
And when you raised questions after 2016, because you see, the Democrats, they figured out how to steal it.
So once they figured out how to steal it and they knew how to take it from us, there was no way that they were ever going to give it back.
So when you look at Texas in 2018, when they were using these new machines in their local votes, they were saying, absolutely not.
These elections have shown us that it's far too easy to steal.
It's far too easy to connect these machines to the internet to have somebody come in from the back end and hack.
And I mean, it is a treasure trove of deception.
So now we have the SAVE Act that doesn't even doesn't even get into the whole idea of what's happening on the machine side, right?
We'll leave that to, you know, on the table for one minute.
We're talking about something very simple, that if you are voting in American elections, that you should be, A, an American citizen and B, be able to prove it.
And you have people coming out with the most ridiculous, stupid, absurd reasons why this can't happen.
Oh, if you're married and your name changed, then you can't vote.
Bullshit, utter bullshit, not true.
If you didn't change your name and you have the same name and you have ID that says, hey, I got married, but I have the same name.
That's not a big deal.
You can show your marriage certificate.
You can order another birth certificate.
I know because I've lost mine twice.
It takes about a week to come.
We have an entire federal office dedicated to sending you your birth certificate.
This is ridiculous.
It's utter nonsense that these people are, they're just lying.
And here's what's more frightening.
There are people that believe them.
How the hell do you believe them?
You think you can't get a copy of your birth certificate?
How do you think you're going to get a passport?
The same people that say that they couldn't get a birth certificate to vote would get a birth certificate to go get their passport because they want to travel.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, oh, the common sense aspect of this is so frustrating.
And the willingness of many people to say, yep, that's true.
Yeah, my name's different than what it was on my birth certificate.
Do you think you're the first person to ever get married and go vote and have to show ID?
Do you know that we are the only country in the world that does not require ID for our federal elections?
These asshole Somalis in Minnesota that are stealing elections.
One person can vote for eight people and all this other bullshit.
You know, in Somali, you need ID.
You got to be a citizen of Somalia.
I mean, these are the things.
The facts are available to you if you want them.
And I was speaking to Scott Pressler and a couple senators today, and they were very clear.
We need senators to go on the record.
If you're going to support, if you're not going to support the talking filibuster, it is not a rules change.
We don't need Mitch McConnell, okay, who clearly has onset dementia, has no idea where he is, who he is, or what he is doing.
He is, that is elderly abuse.
I mean, he's Joe Biden 2.0 without question.
He's being shuffled around.
He's got an aide with him all the time.
You know, some people are 84 years young.
McConnell is 84 years old, one foot in the grave.
It's time to go.
Goodbye.
He wasn't great when he was with it.
Now he's not with it and he's being meandered about by these assholes in his office who are bigger liberals than he was.
In any event, I digress.
So we need people.
Call your senator, ask them, make a public statement.
Are you supporting the talking filibuster so that we can bring the Save America Act to the Senate floor for debate?
Imagine saying we don't have the time to do that.
It is the one piece of legislation that A, most Americans know about.
And B, even if they don't know about it, when you tell them about it, they're interested.
Why would you not want people to have to prove that they're an American citizen and that they are eligible to vote?
That is what our rights say.
One of the rights endowed to us as Americans is the right to vote in our federal election.
Why would I want somebody who's not here as an American citizen voting and making votes that will affect laws and legislative action that affects my life?
I'm paying into the system.
I am affected by this.
You're not.
You're not a citizen.
You might live here, but you're not paying taxes to live here.
You're a grifter in the country.
If you're not contributing, what are you doing?
You're taking.
And that is the bottom line all day, every day.
And when these scumbags wouldn't stand up, when President Trump said, do you support American citizens first?
Do they take precedence as official legislators of our government?
You were elected by the people and for the people.
Illegal aliens before American citizens?
Give me a break.
This is one of those moments.
This is a turning moment.
We have to stop this.
And I'll tell you what, there's some really strong people in the House and Senate, and they're making it work and they work every single day.
And now we have, on a broader scope, when you look at who the people are every day that are dealing with the consequences of an open border, right?
Because even though Donald Trump is incredible when it comes to immigration and illegal immigration, we have so much holdover from Biden and Obama.
It is a massive problem.
And now we have states that are run by lunatic liberals who are looking at their 2028 moment.
And if they're going to be the one to get the hat tip, to get the nod, to go and get the money and run for president.
For example, Wes Moore, who is the governor of Maryland.
He's saying, we're not going to cooperate with ICE.
Bro, are you kidding me?
You are right now in charge of the Potomac.
You have shit, actual human shit, running through the Potomac, and you still haven't cleaned it.
You think you're running for president?
You're not running anywhere.
And now he's saying to our sheriffs, you're not allowed to cooperate with ICE.
Well, it turns out that the sheriffs have taken to the mic and they're telling us how they feel.
Take a listen.
This is nothing more than politics over public safety.
And we as elected sheriffs are fed up with it.
You don't see this many sheriffs in one location in the state at any given time.
But we have to come together in unison to stop the ridiculousness that's going on up here in Annapolis, Maryland.
And lawmakers need to wake up and realize Marylanders and the American people want public safety over politics and they're not getting it.
I mean, that man said it better than anybody.
When you look at the amount of people, look even just yesterday, we've got this guy driving, you know, I guess it's an 18-wheeler going the wrong way in, I guess he was in Missouri.
He's from Minnesota.
His name's, you know, Abdul Hamallah, blah, Who cares?
He's here illegally.
He's got this CDL, doesn't speak the language.
What the hell is going on?
Do we not have the responsibility to protect people out on the road?
I mean, you saw this little girl who was hit, you know, by one of these 18-wheelers, and she was five.
They thought she would never walk again.
And she has lifelong injuries.
She will, for the rest of her life, now be plagued by everything that that illegal alien who was not supposed to be here did to her.
She's seven now.
She can walk again with assistance.
She's in the first grade.
She could have died.
How many more people have to die at the hands of illegal immigrants before these senators give a shit?
Because it's clear that the American people left and right do.
I'm not talking about the paid agitators that are on the PSL and the Soros Dole or a part of the agitator group like the Rashida Tlaibs and the Ilhan Omars.
That's not who I'm talking about.
Those people are not normal.
They're really not.
They're on somebody's ledger.
They're getting paid every month to just stir it up.
They do nothing for the American people.
Nothing.
If you look at any legislation that Omar and Tlaib have passed that actually benefits the American people, I would love to see it.
Please send it to me on X. Absolutely would love to see it.
It's utter bullshit.
And you look at people like the Pope.
The Pope is out there saying that he's upset about our immigration policies.
This asshole lives in the Vatican, surrounded by security and wolves.
If you love illegal immigrants so much, Pope Leo, why don't you take them in?
Why don't you take them in?
You and all your bishops and all your Catholic charities are all tied up in sex trafficking and ruining the religion of Catholicism with this disgusting bureaucracy that is the Catholic Church.
It's disgusting.
And as a Catholic, it pisses me off.
I'm so sick of the hierarchy and the bishops and the pomp and the circumstance.
You want all of us to get down in the dirt with illegal aliens that are raping our women, kidnapping our children, trafficking people across the border.
How many people have to be murdered, raped, and trafficked before Pope Leo says, yeah, maybe this is a bad idea?
In any event, Tom Holman was asked about this outside the White House yesterday.
I think he put it quite perfectly.
What is your response to Pope Leo for being critical of the Trump administration when it comes to deporting illegals?
Well, look, I'm a lifelong Catholic, still practicing Catholic.
Catholic faith is always in support of law enforcement, always has been.
He should be too.
I've said it many times before.
You ought to be fixing the Catholic Church because they got their own issues.
Medals and Misgivings00:06:05
But bottom line is, you know, if we jump the wall at the Vatican, the penalties for doing that are much harder than the ones here in the United States into the country lately.
So look, what he doesn't understand, there's a flip side to illegal immigration.
31% of women get raped making that journey.
Over 4,000 aliens died making that journey under Joe Biden.
A quarter million Americans died of fentanyl because you opened border.
When you overwhelm the Border Patrol, all the bad things happen.
Sex trafficking increases, fentanyl increases.
Securing the border saves lives.
And I'd be happy to sit down and explain to you.
Illegal immigration, not existing is crime.
So Plus and Trump having illegal immigration on 96%, he's saving thousands of lives every year.
I mean, Mike Drop, are you kidding me?
Why would Pope Leo have the audacity to say that they thought, you know, in the Vatican that what we're doing here in America is wrong?
If you think. that you can handle the amount of illegal immigrants that we have coming into our country in a way where you'll prevent them from doing all the things I just listed to our American citizens, have at it.
Take MS-13, take the Sinaloa cartel, take all of the people who are here from Pakistan and from Afghanistan and from Iraq.
Take them all.
And you put them in the walls of the Vatican and you tell me how peaceful and loving the immigrants are and how they're just looking for a place that they can finally have peace.
They are not assimilating.
These are not people that are coming into our country and they are assimilating.
That is not happening.
And that is the biggest problem that I have with people who like to stand there and say, oh, well, he should be doing this.
Is that really where we're at?
My last thing for tonight of people that make me mad is that we had four medals given out during the State of the Union.
One was presented to Navy pilot Captain Royce Williams.
One was given, it was a dog fight.
The guy's 100 years old and he was in combat during the Korean War.
And the first lady put the Congressional Medal of Honor around him.
It's amazing.
And I got to tell you something, he looks terrific for 100 years old.
I mean, just so incredible.
And then we gave another Congressional Medal of Honor to U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slauber.
And he was one of the people that captured Nicholas Maduro and was heavily wounded.
He was a helicopter pilot during this, and he was hit very badly in the leg and in the hip, one bullet after another.
He was able to maneuver, still fly the helicopter, and save so many people that day.
We had two Purple Heart Medal of Honors given to Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf and Sarah Beckstrom.
And they were the two National Guardsmen who were shot before Thanksgiving by the Afghani national that was here, who never should have been here and came in under Biden, who shot them in the head.
Sarah Beckstrom died.
And by the grace of God, Andrew Wolf survived.
And they were awarded the Purple Heart Congressional Medals of Honor.
So I would think that this is something that we could get behind, right?
I would think that this is an issue that we could all agree on, that this deserves us to say, wow, that's pretty incredible.
Take a listen to Angela Rai.
She's a lunatic liberal, and she's bashing Donald Trump for the entire podcast and decides to say this.
I was there, I was there, and it was as horrific as I thought it would be.
Did you leave her on it?
Absolutely.
It was like an award show.
You get a medal.
That's literally Moja said, you get a car, you get a car.
Y'all are on the same page.
Can you imagine looking at these two people?
Three people.
You got Andrew Wolf, who's going to have lifelong issues.
He's in rehab now and recovering from being shot in the head.
You have this other gentleman who was given the Congressional Medal of Honor for his work in capturing Maduro.
He's on a walker being shot in the leg and the hip.
And then you have a 100-year-old veteran from the Korean War, and they're making fun of them.
How is that something to be made fun of?
Even when Trump talked about the hockey team that just won gold, everybody's freaking out.
They're saying it's racist and he just, he's a terrible person.
He invited the hockey team and why didn't he invite this one?
He invited the hockey team because it's been over 40 years since we did that.
Like, do they not, have they not heard of Miracle on Ice?
I mean, are you living under a rock?
This is a huge deal.
So they're saying, hey, look at this.
This is an amazing moment.
Let's celebrate this hockey team.
We're reliving this moment against Canada, which was expected to win gold.
And you had people shouting when they were going USA in the, you know, in Congress during the State of the Union, and they're chanting.
And instead of being happy, you have people screaming, KKK, like Rashida Tlaib, and saying they thought it was very un-American.
I'm like, what is going on?
We can't even unify on the Olympics.
You're not able to stand and cheer for gold medal Olympians?
It's so honestly that sheriff said it the best.
Everything is about politics.
Just like he said, we want public safety over politics.
I want American pride over politics.
If you can't support your athletes when they're over in another country representing the United States of America, you don't deserve to be an elected official.
I'm sorry.
If that person was my elected official, I would lose my shit.
And trust me, I have a terrible congressman where I live.
He is god-awful.
He is the worst of the rhinos.
And I tell him as often as possible.
Elected Officials Deserve Respect00:00:55
But that's what we need to do, guys, because all of this goes away if we pass the SAVE Act, because people's votes will actually count.
We'll get rid of all of these people who don't deserve to hold these offices because they're not winning for real.
Everything they've done, it's fake news.
And we can stop it with the SAVE Act.
Okay?
All right.
I am Linda McLaughlin.
I hope you guys are doing okay this week.
I know there's a lot of news and we're on the edge of our seats regarding Iran.
We will see you here tomorrow.
