Sean Hannity's SOUNDBYTES 4 dissects Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's false claims that Deloitte and 3M poison communities, contrasting her rhetoric with spring weather in D.C. The hosts critique EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's legal defenses against Rosa DeLauro, analyze King Charles III's U.S. visit versus absent left-wing figures, and condemn Ann Arbor and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for prioritizing diversity over safety. Finally, they mock Sydney Kemler Dub's threats regarding anti-trans bills and examine Senator Ron Johnson's testimony on FDA memos suggesting COVID-19 vaccines harmed more children than saved. Ultimately, the episode argues that current political narratives often sacrifice factual accuracy and public safety for ideological agendas. [Automatically generated summary]

Supreme Court Hair Moment00:14:06
This is an iHeart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
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, everybody, and welcome to the Rogue Recap.
This is episode four of Soundbites.
I'm here with my dear friend and colleague, Eric Eggers.
Eric, what's up?
Happy Wednesday, Linda.
It's good to be here.
The world continues to be crazy, and we're here to help make sense of it all.
I said yesterday when I was doing my podcast, I said, Well, guess what?
There's a lot of shit going on today.
I know you guys are shocked, sitting in awe that I just said that out loud because it's ridiculous, right?
And yesterday's show that I did was the All the Shit You Forgot show.
So it's like, What's going on with Swalwell?
What happened to Gallego?
Do we know anything more about our UFO?
Friends, like honestly, like we have another attempted shooting on our president, and I'm like, all right, you know what?
Like, you can't even keep it up, right?
We got the UAE walking out of OPEC.
I'm like, okay, let me, can I just get a pencil, guys?
Hang on.
Okay, diabolical world.
I'll be right back with you.
Just need a pencil.
I mean, I can't keep up, you know?
And it's too much to keep up with, and not all of it matters, but a lot of it does, like, including the thing you just said.
So, I mean, the world's constantly changing, which makes some of the things that people are more interested in and focused on all the more ridiculous.
Indeed.
And we have some really fun, ridiculous stuff today.
So, our namesake of the show is Soundbites, and we love to play them here for you because sometimes we find these little gems and we're like, what in God's great name was going on that day?
Did you not have breakfast?
What happened?
So, one of the funnier things that is not getting a lot of attention and it should is AOC decided to talk again.
We advise her always just to, you know, inside thoughts, like she should just rest in the inside thought space, but she doesn't.
She likes to talk out loud, right, Eric?
She's not quiet.
She's got a lot of energy.
She's dancing on rooftops.
She's dancing behind the bars.
And she's got lots of things to say.
She does.
Let's listen to her latest gem.
It's just so precious.
Rivers in rural areas were on fire because of corporations poisoning the people who lived in those areas.
Poor middle class communities getting poisoned and dumped on by corporations like Deloitte and 3M pouring chemicals into these places.
And they want to call it a democratic priority.
Not everybody knows that Deloitte is an accounting firm.
It's a super kept secret.
I mean, I'm like, I could.
So, this is what's funny.
I can remember being in like my first year of college, and everybody was like, just get an internship at Deloitte.
It's the easiest place, it's great for business.
I hated accounting, so I was like, no, thank you.
But it's pretty well known, especially in New York.
I'm like, bro, is this your first day here?
Like, I just couldn't believe it.
When she said it at first, I thought she was going to laugh.
I was like, this has to be AI.
This can't be a real thing.
Nope.
No, it's real.
She said, no, it's like going to Chick fil A and trying to order a steak sandwich, expecting to get a lot of pollution from an accounting firm.
It's probably not something that most people experience, but it doesn't mean, hey, she's on a roll, Linda.
You know, the point is, it doesn't matter who's doing the polluting.
It doesn't even matter if actual polluting doesn't occur.
It sounds good.
And so Santa is happy to air it.
And on top of which, here's the even more funny part about the whole thing.
She goes, it's 3M and it's, It's Deloitte.
I'm like, okay, so 3M makes post its and Deloitte does accounting.
So I don't know, you know, like maybe Petro, maybe Exxon, I can like vibe with you on this potentially.
Also, by the way, that was true.
Then who are we blaming?
Are we blaming like the Trump administration or, I mean, the Bidens were like handing out, as they like to say, the green energy, like gold bars off the Titanic.
So I'm pretty sure we had among the more, Lucrative and wasteful investment in green energy, restrictions on lots of different environmental things.
So, if in fact we do see lakes on fire at every turn, I guess blame your local accountant.
And that's the thing too.
She's like, it's so extreme.
She's like, it's fire.
There's so much going on.
I'm like, is that smoke?
No, it's just a stack of W 9s.
It's just my brain on fire because I'm paying for everything.
I mean, honestly, it's pretty funny.
Let's go to other crazy people in Congress.
We have Rosa DeLauro.
So, Rosa DeLauro, you won't know her name, but you will know.
Her hair.
She has trademark hair.
Her hair has always like some streak of blue or purple.
She looks like Tails from the Crypt.
I'm sorry.
That's not me being mean.
That is a reality.
If you Google her, you will say, oh no, Linda was right.
Yep.
There's a really trippy cartoon that came out when I was a little boy.
It's called The Last Unicorn.
And there's a scene where, like, it looks like this very powerful bird in a cage.
But if you look closely, it's actually like this harpy that's like a part gypsy.
This is exactly what she looks like.
I swear, it's like.
She's got gypsy hair, Linda.
That's all there is to it.
It's a lot for sure, bro.
And I, so this exchange, this is with the administrator of the EPA, which is Lee Zeldin.
And if you don't know Lee Zeldin, Lee Zeldin ran for governor in New York.
Obviously, it's rigged as shit here.
So you can't ever get elected if you're a Republican.
He was a congressman.
He's incredibly smart.
He's an attorney, but he's very, very calm.
When he speaks, he's always measured because he is armed with something called facts.
He does not play in the AOC DeLoro space.
So, this exchange is DeLoro and Zeldin desperately trying to talk to DeLoro about facts.
It's about three minutes, so we're not going to play the whole thing, but we're going to start and stop and comment because honestly, it's worth it.
It's just good times for everybody.
So, take a listen.
We'll talk to you on the other side of this part.
You're here because you need money from us.
So, halt for the second and wait for the questions and answer the questions.
When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air, Driving up health care and disaster costs.
How can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth?
Following the law, Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, where does it say anything about fighting global climate change?
Loper Bright, Supreme Court case.
You're familiar with it?
No, maybe others are.
I'm not, but let me ask you.
But that's really important.
As a member of Congress, Loper Bright.
So we'll stop there for one second.
So one thing that I have always noticed, and Eric, tell me if you agree.
Whether it's Maxine Waters, whether it's Nancy Pelosi, whether it's Nutty DeLoro here, they have prepared notes, right?
Yep.
They're reading from a script that somebody else wrote.
They've clearly never read it.
This is like a first pass, right?
They haven't done a pre run.
There's no practice trial here that they were like with a staffer, like, what does this mean?
And so she's like, right?
Because one, she didn't write it.
And two, she knows it's shit.
Well, she's obviously got the conversational pattern of an aging woman.
So it's got like the humming a humming a humming a kind of thing happening.
It's like there's a staccato stutter.
Before you like eventually shift it into gear and the transmission starts working.
Like, that's clearly what's happening here.
And I like how in all the notes, she didn't have, oh, wait, the overriding governing document that actually is in charge of this specific part of government.
Also, also, like, what world are she and AOC living in where, like, you walk outside and you've got lakes on fire and the streets are underwater?
Like, it's springtime, guys.
It's nice outside.
I'm like, you're in DC, you got cherry blossoms.
Yeah.
What are we missing?
I mean, it's really, but.
But the best part is Zeldin's like, so yeah, there's a Supreme Court case that, yeah, they oversee the law that guides our division.
So it's great.
No, I need to invite Lee Zeldin to my house because when my preteen daughter is like running through the list of terribles that are like inflicting her life, and I'm like, will you please just take your medication?
Then I need to channel my inner Lee Zeldin.
So this is good.
You made me a better parent today, Linda.
Thank you.
All right, we're going to pick Deluro back up because it gets better.
Congress, Loper Bright says that we as an agency don't have the authority to get creative if Section 202 of the Clean Air Act.
No, but you don't have, excuse me, you do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax, and that's where this administration is going to be.
I understand you're upset that you don't know what Loper Bright is.
Do you know what the major policies doctrine is?
No, I'm upset because.
You know what the major policies doctrine is?
You're a member of Congress.
You should know.
Well, you have moved from someone who defended the environment.
To all of us, I am very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases of the last year with regards to your question.
You are very defensive about changing your policy and your positions with regard to the environment.
Do you want me to tell you what the two biggest Supreme Court cases are of the last few years?
Michigan versus EPA.
Whoa.
West Virginia versus EPA.
You know, you're here because you need money from us, so halt for the second.
It's like ridiculous.
He is.
It's such a smackdown.
I feel I don't feel bad for her because she's criminal, but it is embarrassing.
He's like, But can we just talk about the governing principles of my administration?
She's like, No, absolutely not.
He's gonna back up.
He's like, Hey, forget about the cases.
How about the Supreme Court?
Do you know what that is?
There's nine of them.
They have robes, they kind of get together, they talk.
They're there for a long time.
You could, like, a lifetime actually.
It's an appointment, you know, you guys vote on it.
Just, you know, I mean, wow.
Anyways, this is Deluro in her finest Zeldin.
God bless him.
He comes out and he really tries to walk her off the ledge.
She struggles with it for about another two minutes.
We're not going to torture you, ladies and gentlemen, because we're nice people.
We want you to be loving the show and listening.
We don't want you tuning out because Deluro's got you driving off the road.
God forbid.
And remember, we talked about this before, but I do think it's an important point.
I love that you keep finding these clips to kind of reinforce it.
She's not interested in actually governing.
Think about what she just said.
You don't have the right to say climate change is not real.
He actually does.
He actually does.
Yeah.
And.
And ironically, they've actually figured out a way legally to sort of remove, I think, one of the doctrines under which they would be compelled to invest in based on that premise.
But all that to say, she's not interested in passing policies.
They know what the committee votes are.
She's just trying to get a clip, as you said, so we can play it on shows like this, but also on the other side, because look at her.
She's fighting against that evilly Zelda.
Yes.
And the one thing to insist to Zelda is, well, I know you changed your positions.
He's like, I'm not changing my positions.
I'm literally just citing the law.
And she goes, well, the administration and Trump.
And that's what they want.
And he's just like, lady, can you just focus?
Can we just, let's just, let's knuckle down here.
Let's do it together, you know?
And he's like, no.
And the hand is up.
I hate when people do that.
The hand thing.
I'm like, are you a crossing guard?
What's happening?
Please stop.
Anyways, that shit drives me nuts.
I just saw the movie Crazy Stupid Love recently, and like, Brian Gosling in it is like, are you Steve Jobs?
Do you have the right to wear those shoes?
He's like, do you have the right to wear that hair?
Like, you're an elected representative of Congress.
What are you doing?
It's so bad.
But you know what?
There's a lot of them like that now in Congress.
Like I was looking at, oh, let's pivot for one second.
Yesterday, we had King Charles come, Chucky boy, with his wifey.
So, these two scumbags decide to come to the United States, like, because the Boston Tea Party wasn't enough, bro.
I'm like, yeah, we're not interested.
Didn't you get that memo?
Bye.
So, long story short, they come yesterday.
They're going to speak to Congress.
All of a sudden, the assholes who won't show up to vote for the Save Act are in full attendance.
And this entire division of people who scream about no kings are like, the pin is here.
Let's take pictures.
I'm like, where's your Soros made sign?
Didn't you have that at the ready?
I was like, I was so blown away by the attendance of the left.
Even Ilhan Omar was there.
I was like, what is going on?
We actually were talking about that in the office.
What do you think that's about?
Like, I don't understand.
Like, Disney people, you kind of get because at least there's rides and there's movies and there's things, right?
But like royal people, I just don't understand it at all.
But the thing, and I'm actually, it wouldn't shock me if the royals eventually get kind of run out of the country, you know, with the increase in Islamophobia.
I know we have a clip from New York about what's happening in some of these playgrounds now, but like, Eventually, I could just see it seems very anti kind of woke to have these old white people that just get to be in charge of everyone.
So it's kind of like shocking that they, you know, they have as much popularity on behalf of the left as they do.
Well, I will tell you, this is a very interesting point of note.
So, Peter McElvenna, who hosts a great podcast called Hearts of Oak out of England, and I'm not sure what part of England he's in, and I wouldn't disclose it even if I did because he's a conservative and I'm sure they want to kill him.
But he writes often for American outlets.
He's actually on Bannon a lot too.
I'm sure you've seen him.
But he sent me an article that he wrote the other day about this Christian preacher who was arrested on the streets of London, just spreading the word, you know, the good word, right?
Ann Arbor Crime Test00:16:04
And he's arrested.
But the Muslims standing all around him, who are, you know, they got their carpets out, they got all the bedsheets on, they're bowing, they're doing all the things.
All right, have at it.
You know what I mean?
Nobody says a word.
Now, King Charles at the end of Ramadan, and I think also for Aid, gave two addresses to the people of England.
Talking about, oh, we stand with you in solidarity, but never delivered the message of Easter, the holiest of days.
So I'm like, huh.
I'm like, that's interesting.
So you don't want to talk about, you know, our Lord and Savior rising from the most horrible part of our religion, right?
If you're a Christian, any denomination of Christian, this is a moment that we all, it's a very solemn day, right?
It's a holiday and we're happy that He has risen, right?
But it's a sad day.
You know, we're going through that whole three days.
Not a word, not one word.
So I think Ilhan Omar might feel more at home with the king than her own.
That's an interesting point.
Like, is King Charles attempting to pull one of these like Ollie G code switch type things?
Is he going to say, hey, listen, fellow Londoners, the official meal of England is no longer fish and chips.
It's now falafel.
Thank you.
And let me tell you something that is truer than you know.
When I was in London six years ago, so last time I was there, I was in Trafalgar Square and I was there for, we were broadcasting from there and I looked around and I was like, I stand out here.
This is a little like it was odd and it was noticeable.
Hadn't been like probably in five years and now I haven't been in six years.
And I hear it's so much worse.
Like it's god awful.
And obviously, we talked about the rape inquiry, you know, a few times and what was happening there.
But it was Kira Starmer and the king who suppressed.
No, I know.
That's which I didn't think that was a real story at the time.
And then you find out, no, it is a real story.
It is.
And that's and that's where that so actually, this is a perfect kind of pivot to the New York City thing, right?
Because you've seen like.
I didn't get into the whole, oh, Mamdani's going to Islamify New York City.
And I don't even know that you want to draw a connection between Mamdani's being the mayor and now you have people praying five times a day at Times Square.
And I think there's even a rationalization, an innocent one, for this clip of a New York City thing.
But I do think there are some challenging questions to ask afterward.
Okay, let's take a look.
Good job.
Uh huh.
Go ahead.
You go first.
So, you know, it's an Islamic cultural celebration.
You got these regular kids from PS52 or whatever it is in Brooklyn.
You guys still do the numbers, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So, like, so that's fine.
Because, I mean, you do learn about other cultures.
But then the question would be, like, are they still doing like the pilgrims?
Would they do the same thing for the Hispanic Jews?
No, for real.
Like, I think that, I think those are real questions that are worth asking.
And, you know, my daughters and chorus.
And we go to a school that is very diverse.
And so we had a celebration of the diversity at the concert where we were in the minority.
And they're like, hey, if you're feeling it, stand up and dance.
And I kind of wonder if all those white people in this Brooklyn thing are like, all right, I guess we're going to stand up and dance for this.
Yeah.
Well, you look at them in that video, bro.
They are up, they are clapping, they are at it.
And I'm like, let me see.
But are they like really vibing?
Or is it like the Joe Biden at the concert kind of staring blank, like, oh.
No, I'll tell you what, I could give a shit less about the teachers.
I care about the kids.
Because the kids, first of all, it's not a madrasa, okay?
It is a public school.
So you've got these guys there, they got the big drum and the music that sounds like they're about to do the call to prayer in the middle of the desert.
Fine, whatever, knock yourself out.
But if my kids go into school to learn science and math, learn science and math.
And I'm curious how many parents knew that was happening that day.
Because if I knew that was happening, I would have opted my child out.
I would have kept my son home from school, which I'm doing something like that very similar right now, where they're doing some kind of testing at school.
I don't believe in it.
I think it's bullshit.
My kid doesn't go.
I take him in later.
I signed him out, all the things, whatever.
You have to give all these special reasons why.
I'm like, you know why?
Because I said so.
That's why.
Okay.
It's the mom rule.
You're welcome.
But I struggle with this.
This is the indoctrination of our kids that we talk about all the time.
Yeah.
I think it's certainly, it's hard to differentiate if it wasn't indoctrination.
Like it could also look like it, right?
Right.
So I will say, in defense of the schools, and this is, you know, as someone who's got three kids in public school, it's about to be early May.
They're not doing anything in damn school.
You know what I mean?
The testing's over.
They're mailing it in.
So if they weren't doing it.
Your timing is different, though.
You're like, you go back earlier.
So you're almost done.
I'm just saying, if they weren't doing Islamic Dance Festival, they'd be doing Disney Movie Day, which is a different one.
Let's tell you something, though.
I'm okay with you doing Cultural Dance Day.
But Cultural Dance Day should be all culturals, or it should be Monday is the Irish jig, Tuesday is the Italian Conti, Thursday, whatever.
There's one way to solve this.
What do they do on St. Patrick's? Day, let me see that video and then we'll go.
Yeah, exactly.
Was everybody, you know, oh, brocking around?
If they were, I'm fine with it.
Otherwise, have a nice day.
All right, let's talk about more woke DEI in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Did you hear about this?
I only saw, I ran across this clip, and uh, you know, so I guess they are actively removing.
I couldn't, I was trying to, I did a little bit of a deep dive on this.
So it looks like what they're trying to remove that you can't, you kind of can't see in the video.
Um, but it looks like they're doing like the neighborhood crime watch sign, like that's what I think the logo is.
So, they're actively removing the neighborhood crime watch signs.
And then here's a video of leaders in the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, explaining why they're doing this.
This is the mayor.
This is a mayor and a city councilwoman of Ann Arbor.
We'll listen and then we'll explain a little bit.
And they're inconsistent with our values.
Ann Arbor is a welcoming community.
We don't want to push people away.
We want to welcome folks in.
You know, there are people that look like me and those from my community that have been questioned, quite frankly, in their own neighborhood by others, you know, wondering what they're doing there.
This is.
Disrepresentative of our values and what we want people to feel in Ann Arbor.
Uh huh.
So, what they mean is you're not allowed to feel safe because the only people who are threatened by crime watch signs are criminals, bro.
Regular people aren't looking at crime watch signs saying that makes me feel very uncomfortable.
What does that mean?
It means we're looking out for crime, bro.
That's all it means.
And not to say that Ann Arbor has a crime problem, but no less than their football coach was recently arrested and charged with home invasion, stalking.
And I believe assault.
So it's not a stretch to say that.
There's maybe some criminal activity happening in a suburb of, checks notes, Detroit.
Yeah.
And not to mention, so I have family that lived in Ann Arbor.
And I remember my aunt saying to me, you know, and she was a provost at a university and, you know, one of these, like, you know, whatever.
Okay, fine.
But she was like, it's changed.
Like it's really violent.
You got to watch your ass.
You know what I mean?
And I was like, yeah, it's dangerous.
So I think that's what's, you know, In a state like Florida, what's really fascinating is you've got Ron DeSantis, and like typically these universities are these bastions of like liberal, you know, kind of ideology and governance, even.
But like they don't mess around, like they put conservatives, they've gotten rid of like the liberal people to get rid of some of that woke stuff like that.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, Michigan, obviously, you've got Gretchen Whitmer, and you've got, you know, university.
She's a bit of a weirdo if you really think about it.
She, I can't figure her out.
Yeah.
You know, you would think someone who's been so traumatized by an alleged kidnapping plot would be pro criminal enforcement.
Yeah.
So look out, you know, be like the bolo.
You're not into the bolo.
I mean, what are we doing?
Pick one.
I'm sorry.
And then, of course, we have to play the race card.
We are nowhere.
If people who look like me, I'm like, what does that mean?
Does that mean that white people can't commit crime?
Does that mean that other people who are not black cannot commit crimes?
And if people are being questioned in your community, like if someone stopped me in my community, right?
I also live in a diverse neighborhood.
If someone stopped me in my community and said, sorry, you look like someone, Who was just, you know, the description we received for a recent criminal act?
I'd be like, all right, give it to me.
What is it?
Yeah.
If you have nothing to hide, you're never going to be that person.
Now, listen, I am not the biggest fan of police officers.
I love what they do, but I have not always had good interactions with them in my life.
A lot of people haven't, but that doesn't mean that you prejudge every experience like that.
And that's basically what they're saying.
I'm offended, so we can't have it anymore.
Sorry, BRB, I need to go find the body cam footage of you having an unpleasant interaction with a law enforcement officer.
I feel like it's like the meme of like, ah.
I'll tell you what, man.
It was one of those situations.
They had somebody that looked like me.
And I was at a gig when I used to be a wedding singer.
And I came out of the bar and I was thrown to the ground.
I knew it involved a wedding and a little bit of alcohol.
I was in a nightclub.
I wasn't even at a wedding.
And I got put in the back of the paddy wagon.
They kept me in the back for six hours.
And it wasn't me.
And then the guy comes out.
He's like, oh, sorry about that.
I was like, oh, you're sorry?
You're sorry?
Get me out.
You don't even know what I do for a living.
I'm on your side, bro.
I'm like, really?
Anyways.
I now understand the Noah Kahn post Malone lyrics.
Last time I was in the back of a cop car, I fell in love.
I get it.
Okay.
Okay.
So let's see what else we have for today.
Let's go to Brandon Johnson.
I think that's in keeping with the theme.
So, for those of you who don't know, Brandon Johnson is the mayor of Chicago.
And Brandon Johnson is probably one of the most racist people on the planet.
Because, do we think Chicago is going to do this soon?
Should Chicago get rid of the neighborhood crime watch signs?
Absolutely.
I mean, they're doing such a good job with it active.
I think we should just test our boundaries.
You know, like you guys got this shit under control, right?
This guy does not care about anything but race.
It is race, race, race all the time.
I'm like, sir, you just had this young woman shot, and her parents are devastated.
He's like, forget about it.
Get the ice truck out here.
We've got a press conference to do.
I'm like, and he was asked at the press conference, if you remember, I think we played that clip where they said, did you think this might have been in bad taste to do this today?
He's like, what?
What?
I'm sorry she got shot.
I'm sorry.
It's terrible.
I'm like, is it because she's white?
Is that the problem?
Does this person need to be in your diversity club to actually?
Did we care?
I mean, anyways, let's play Brandon Johnson from today.
This is Love Lightning.
I've been very intentional about making sure that my administration, unlike previous administrations, have people who work for me that reflect the community.
Once upon a time, just to be very blunt with you, two administrations ago, 70% of the mayor's administration were white men, right?
And that's just not a diversified approach, I believe.
It's not about meritocracy anymore, man.
Doesn't matter how good you are.
Listen, as a white man, we can take it.
Okay, that's fine.
Come for us.
We're here.
We're ready for it.
We look, I get it.
2026, we had a good run.
Okay, and now in Chicago and places like that, it's not so much our time anymore.
Right now, man, it is so racist.
I was saying this the other day.
You remember when Rob Schneider came out?
Oh, yeah, and he did that skit.
So, for those of you who don't know, and I'll see if I can find it for next week, but Rob Schneider does this skit where he talks about when United was doing the whole like DEI and we're going to have all women crews and all minority crews.
And he goes, We just can't have the regular white guy that's a good pilot and like get us there safely.
Like, is that not a thing?
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I mean, it's that's exactly what's happening everywhere.
Like, the idea that we have to lower the benchmark for minorities to pass police and firemen and all these other emergency service roles or that.
We can't look at a candidate because they're white or they're Asian, right?
There's this huge thing now where Asian people are too smart and they can't get into college.
And there's these huge class action civil lawsuits going on because they're suing the schools because they're like, no, we have too many Asians.
What?
Like, can you hear the words coming out of your mouth?
It's so racist.
Just stop.
No, I remember I was at the Space Center and they're talking about how we're going to go back to Mars, but this time we're bringing a woman.
And I thought, I'm sure that matters to, you know, aliens.
They're really right.
Look at that.
Okay, I guess we won't invade.
They're uh, that's why the aliens decided to come here because they were like, they're only going to bring us one woman, we're going to have to go to earth and figure out.
But that's like, but but that's actually was my favorite part of the debate in California that they had to cancel, right?
They were trying to have their first gubernatorial debate and they couldn't do it because they came up with a formula, like a scientific and statistical formula to say, all right, you got to be above this threshold.
And then the formula said only white people, like only white people qualified based on the formula.
And they said, all right, then we have to cancel the debate.
Well, it's also that whole idea, right?
Like, you know, you look at all of these testing scores and you say, well, the reason why the white people are doing better is because they have more money and they come from better backgrounds.
I'm like, that's not true.
If you look at the poverty threshold, the majority of people that live under or at the poverty threshold are white, they're not black.
So we actually talked to a guy, and, you know, I was telling you before we started talking today, I actually do some SAT and ACT tests.
Preparation on the side and College Board, who administers SAT, will give you all these resources for free.
And they say if you will spend 20 hours doing this, your score should go up 100 points.
And we interviewed actually this one Asian guy who I think has been involved in some of these lawsuits.
He says the problem is most of the people who are spending the 20 hours are Asians.
So they're taking advantage of it, but it's a free resource that's available.
But that narrative continues to exist.
And it has nothing to do with available resources, right?
Because if you think about it, the colleges, the scholarships, the programs, free notebooks, free Chromebooks, free everything, if you qualify, and the way that you qualify is typically not being white.
What I want to know from Brandon Johnson is okay, 70% of white guys is too much.
What's the right number?
What's the right number?
Just tell us what the right number is.
Because it looks like you're doing great.
You have a massive deficit.
You cannot balance your budget.
You have crime higher than any other mayor.
What are you doing?
Stop worrying about everybody's race, bro.
Start arresting criminals.
That whole idea of like, that's another thing we should do a show on is all of the judges that are complicit in letting everybody out because they were like, well, he's black and I'm black.
So there's that.
What?
What if there's like a 3D chess piece to this and Brandon Johnson's actually doing Rahm Emanuel a favor?
Because I think he's talking about him, right?
He's talking about Rahm Emanuel, who would have been the mayor of Chicago.
Rahm's like, see, white guys, not so bad.
Maybe I'm the guy.
He's like, miss me yet?
All right, let's see.
Who else do we have today?
Well, I know we have a Ron Johnson cut that we definitely do want to get to.
Drug Dollars and Democrats00:02:01
And then I have this other cut of this woman.
She's a, I guess, let me look here.
She is a Democrat in Los Angeles.
And she somehow got approached, I guess, by her constituents.
And She, you know, I think she's the same woman that was on a panel the other day and they were complaining to her about something going on.
And she rolled her eyes at them in the middle of the, and they were like, I'm sorry, this is like a town hall for you to talk to us.
She's like, it's so annoying.
So now she's on the street and she's talking to one of her constituents.
And they're like, You're spending billions of dollars on drug addicts.
And she's like, Yeah, yeah.
So about that.
So, I mean, you can't make it up.
You really can't.
You're spending a billion dollars giving money to drug addicts who are buying drugs with the money.
And you know that.
Well, yeah.
It's just them playing on a loop, but it's literally one of those things where she's like, Yes, yes, not a lot to debate there.
That is true.
And sorry.
Yeah.
See, this is what's wrong with like modern Democrat run Los Angeles.
I was a big fan back in my day.
Like you would spend hundreds of millions of dollars on drugs, but it wasn't the government doing it, it was the celebrities and the musicians, you know, like they let them buy their own drugs.
That was great.
Nobody had a problem with that.
It was like dire straits, you know, money for nothing.
You know, and the drugs for free.
So, you know, there's a reason that these songs exist and they're so good.
Speaking as someone who has never taken drugs, of course.
So, let's look at this woman, this Democrat representative, Sydney Kemlager Dub, never heard of her.
And she's talking about how if we don't pass these bills, the transgender boys are going to die.
So, before you play this, let me just say this I saw this clip and I had also never heard of this person, but I do want to kind of posit a theory.
And I think it's true specifically for Democrat politicians that the more syllables they have in their name, the crazier they are.
Vaccine Nuances and Letters00:06:03
Like, I'm just saying, let's just try it as a thought process.
You know, I'm not saying that, you know, like, think about it.
Alexandria, Ocasio, Cortez, that's like 10.
If you're getting into double digit syllables, I think there's a chance you're insane.
The budget bill will fund the murderous ICE and Border Patrol to the tune of $140 billion without accountability.
And the anti trans bill will continue to demonize the trans community.
These bills are not just dangerous, they could kill people.
Huh.
So, if we get the criminals with the ICE enforcement agencies and we let little girls go to the bathroom alone instead of with little boys who are confused because their parents suck, that's going to kill people.
Just so you know.
Just to kind of recap some of the logic that we've put on display so far removing signs about being on the lookout for criminal activity makes the neighborhoods safer.
Yes.
And passing bills that help enforce the law makes the world more dangerous.
Bro, 100%.
Those extra courses are paying off for you.
You're doing good on these tests.
Well, I'm taking notes.
So, like, you know, it's hard to keep up with you, but I'm like, all right, got that, got that.
All right.
As we wrap up today, we have one really good clip.
This is Senator Ron Johnson, who I give him a lot of credit, man.
He fights the good fight.
I can't imagine how gratifying it must have been for you.
Don't know.
I mean, again, back to my whole theory Linda McLaughlin, that's only five syllables, but Linda, you know, she can approach tangentially like the vectors of a little bit of the.
You're like, okay, wait, I have to sit down and think about what she just said.
And how much is that true?
And how much of it is possibly also insane?
You know what I mean?
And, but I'm saying like you have been on this from the jump on these vaccines and like this health stuff.
So I'm sure when you saw this, you were like, mm hmm.
I have to say, you know, one of the saddest days of my life was working through the first couple of years of COVID.
And we worked every single day.
And I was declared a FEMA employee because I was delivering the news every day because the president used to address the nation with Fauci and Burks and all the other, that whole crew every day at five o'clock.
So we would carry it, we would distribute it.
It went out to over 800 affiliates.
Okay.
So in my other job.
Okay, fine.
So we did that for two years.
And then Governor Hochul says if you don't have the vaccine, you are no longer allowed to enter a New York City building.
What?
I've been here the whole time.
I've never gotten COVID, never got it, never got the vaccine, never did any of that shit.
And now you're telling me, even though I've been here every day for two years covering the news, when everyone else was home, I am not allowed in.
And that's literally how this all started, right?
And my youngest was then starting kindergarten.
They wanted to put a mask on him and all this stuff.
And I mean, I was at a 50.
And the second that I would ask a question, like, well, what's in the vaccine?
You don't ask what's in a hot dog.
I'm like, yes, I do.
That's why I don't eat them.
I'm like, this is not a good argument, you know?
But Ron Johnson, this senator, has been a stalwart.
He's been locked up with those of us who have been against this from the go when they were telling us we were wearing tinfoil hats.
And he had a pretty good moment the other day.
A memo that is apparently from CBER director Dr. Prasad in December 2015, where apparently within FDA, you're reviewing, I think it was 96 autopsies of child death following the COVID mRNA injection.
In that memo, Dr. Prasad writes, This is a profound revelation.
For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID 19 vaccines killed American children.
Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced at the behest of the Biden administration via school and work mandates to receive a vaccine that could result in death.
In many cases, such mandates were harmful.
It is difficult to read cases where kids 7 to 16 may be dead as a result of COVID vaccines.
Putting these facts together, it is horrifying.
To consider the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved.
This requires humility and introspection.
It requires oversight.
And so I wrote a letter to you and your agency back on December 15th.
Of the 10 responses, I got three out of 10.
No responses, no response in terms of the documents I've requested.
So I'm asking you, please, will you commit to responding fully to my December oversight letter?
You have my 100% commitment.
So RFK obviously getting the shit kicked out of him most of the time because he doesn't want to get in bed with the pharma lobbyists and all the other assholes getting paid for the vaccines and they hate that.
But he does always raise, much like Zeldin, factual support of said argument, which is we never had autism this much.
We never had peanut allergies this much.
We never had obesity this much.
We never had so many of the ailments that the kids have.
Look at all of the athletes that died from myocarditis.
And we tried to talk.
I will never forget this.
I tried to cover that story.
And I had someone from another administration send me a letter citing that this was completely normal.
And I was like, Oh my God.
I'm like, you really don't care about these kids.
Like, you're, it's okay if they die because they're not your kids.
You don't give a shit.
And notice that no one in Congress was mandated to take the vaccine.
No one.
I know that the purpose of this program is to inform and to occasionally entertain, but it's had the ancillary benefit of shaming me in this case, Linda, because not only do I feel like a terrible parent for not being engaged on just all the different.
Kind of like nuances of the vaccines and things of that nature, although we did keep our kids away from them.
Apologizing to Our Kids00:01:01
Yeah.
So I feel like I got that part right.
But what I feel actually like I've profoundly failed my children, I do give them hot dogs, like a lot of them, like a lot of hot dogs.
And I have no idea what they're in them.
And I haven't really been curious about it.
So I want to publicly apologize to my children.
I failed you.
It's probably my fault you're having these emotional breakdowns in the morning.
And I'm sorry, America.
My kids have eaten Cheetos and potato chips and everything else.
So I think we're all failing in some small way, but.
My kids are not getting meningitis shots and hep B shots and all this other bullshit.
You can shove it up your ass.
Why don't you shoot it in yourself first and we'll see how you turn out?
Pharma's going to have to make money on somebody else's kids, not Linda's.
That's right, baby.
I'll tell you what, I'll tackle you in the parking lot.
You're not going near my kid.
