1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: What's Up? And welcome. This is the Rogue Recap and

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: you are here with your host, Linda McLaughlin. She is pissed, off, outraged,

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: and has zero patience with what seems to be an

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: epidemic of entitlement and stupidity. Here we talk about all

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: the things the other shows just don't or won't touch.

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Make sure to like and subscribe to her podcast so

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: you never miss an episode.

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: What's up guys here tonight, not on my normal microphone.

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: I hope you don't mind. I'm remote, but wanted to

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: get this show in because we have huge news that's

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: getting so little coverage, and that is our fight to

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: have the American government stop funding the Taliban. And if

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: you're like me, you're probably like, I didn't know we

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: were funding the Taliban. But there is an amazing congressman.

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: His name is timber Chetty's out of Tennessee, and he's

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: definitely been one of those people who it doesn't matter

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: how uncomfortable it is, it doesn't matter how difficult it

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: might be, he is going to tell you exactly what's

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: going on. And he is not a partisan hack either.

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: He is a conservative. He's part of the Freedom Caucus.

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: But he doesn't care if you're a conservative or Republican,

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: liberal Democrat, and none of that matters. If you're doing

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: the wrong thing, you better believe that Tim Berchet's going

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: to call you out. So a little bit about this

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: particular effort. Today, Tim pushed through and introduced a bill

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: that was dedicated to stopping our US tax dollars being

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: given to a group that still had regained control of

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Afghanistan in twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden had done

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: that debacle level withdrawal, and so every single week since then,

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 2: he has been trying to get the Senate to pass

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: his bill, which is to recall that money and to

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: invested in Americans as opposed to giving people where all

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: they want to do is kill us, you know, any

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: kind of money from the US taxpayer, especially because we

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: lost so many men and women in combat that were

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: fighting for American freedoms, and now we're funding the families

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: of those who their fathers, their brothers fought in the

38
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: wars to kill ours. So it's really sort of so

39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: it's so insane that it actually seems unreal. In my opinion,

40
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: it seems like this can't be true, but it is

41
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: and you know, while President Trump really has been incredibly

42
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: you know, critical of Joe Biden's withdrawal, you know, the

43
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: funding is still continuing. So it's like, okay, yeah, we

44
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: had this terrible withdrawal. All of these people died, we had,

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: you know, assets within Afghanistan that were helping our men

46
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: weren't even able to get them out. And they set

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: up this funding through the Biden administration that was supposed

48
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: to be quote unquote aid for Afghans that were remaining

49
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: in the country. But basically what happens now is it's

50
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: going right to the Taliban because they controlled the central bank,

51
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: they control everything, so that money isn't getting to anybody

52
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 2: who needs it in Afghanistan. That is going to fund

53
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: terrorism and anti American efforts because that's all they care about.

54
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: And we literally just this week on Monday, sent another

55
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: forty five million dollars. This this is so beyond the pale,

56
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: and you have people speaking out, we have people from

57
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: even within Afghanistan confirming absolutely. Burchet says that the State

58
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: Department is sent over five billion dollars to Afghanistan in

59
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: the last several years. So the regulations that he's trying

60
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: to impose upon Congress is to you know, because Congress

61
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: is power of the purse, is to say absolutely not,

62
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: these are terrorists. You're putting our American tax dollars into

63
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: the hands of terrorists, into the very people who want

64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: to crush us. And some of the money in question

65
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: was approved by Congress going to these NGOs, which we

66
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: all know about NGOs now following USAID and DOGE and

67
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: the deep dive into that. But they're allocating money to

68
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: these NGOs and it's not going to the people. Again,

69
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: it's not going to the people. So timber Chet, God

70
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: bless him, he's like, enough with the NGOs, enough with

71
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: the misappropriation of funds. He said, why are we, as

72
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: taxpayers who lost our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan giving

73
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: money that is falling into the hands of the Taliban.

74
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: It does not make sense. And today it passed, so

75
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: timber Chet was able to get his bill through the House.

76
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: They need sixty votes to pass it in the Senate

77
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: and they've got this ridiculous inability to get it past.

78
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: One senator, Senator she he from Montana. Both he and

79
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: his wife served, and he gave this speech on the

80
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: floor today and I just thought it was so spot on.

81
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: We're going to play a little bit of audio today

82
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: because I want you guys to hear what's happening. And

83
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: I feel like this is one of the biggest issues

84
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: that's getting the least amount of coverage right now.

85
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: Most Americans probably find it somewhat surprising that as they

86
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 3: struggle with affordability, struggling to fill their gas tank or

87
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: pay their rent or ford their mortgage, that many of

88
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: their tax dollars, in fact, upwards of ten billion dollars

89
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: of their tax dollars are sent directly into the pockets

90
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: of foreign terrorist organizations, terrorist organizations that we spent thousands

91
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 3: of lives and decades fighting to protect our shores, to

92
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: include the lives of some of my friends. I spent

93
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: years of my life, as did my wife, spend years

94
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: of her life fighting these terrorist organizations, trying to keep

95
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 3: this country safe. And now we're told that our tax

96
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: dollars have an obligation to go into the pocket of

97
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: those organizations, to buy bullets, to build bombs, to coordinate

98
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: attacks that don't just kill Americans, they kill those who

99
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: share our values worldwide. And it's not just Westerners and

100
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: Americans who are killed by this. The Taliban systematically hunts

101
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: down those in Afghanistan with whom they disagree, those who

102
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: want to be free, those women and girls who saw

103
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: a brief period of freedom under our occupation there, and

104
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: now they are once again placed under the yoke of

105
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: terrible sexism, of not even fascism, but outright terror. And

106
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: it isn't just Afghanistan. This extends across the globe. This

107
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: terrorist financing networks is not just guys in mountain caves

108
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: collecting dollar bills. This is a sophisticated global finance network

109
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: that spans the entire world. The Iranian regime, although not

110
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: directly connected in many ways to this, is absolutely directly

111
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: connected to the international flow of terrorist funds through sophisticated

112
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: real estate transaction, cryptocurrency, oil smuggling, hiracy, kidnapping, terrorism. It

113
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: is unthinkable that we would intentionally and knowingly hand our

114
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars to organizations that actively kill Americans and attempt

115
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: to destroy our values every single day. I think it

116
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: should be a bipartisan American issue for us to finally

117
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: put an end to this ridiculous practice that is actively

118
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: costing us lives and precious freedom. Capital around the world.

119
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: I hope that we pass this act. They urge a

120
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: yes vote, and I urge it quickly.

121
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: Thank you.

122
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 5: It's crazy.

123
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: So one of the things that timber Chet put out

124
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: and that I thought was really insightful is there's a

125
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: gentleman who is working with our GOP.

126
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: And this is.

127
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: A scary thing. Right. People are staffers and they sort

128
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: of worm their way into whatever committee and focus that

129
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: they can get into because they don't really care about

130
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: how they get in. They just want to get in.

131
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: And so if they can do that, then they would

132
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: be able to do the work that they want to

133
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: do behind the scenes and hurt the people that they

134
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: want to hurt without anybody being able to say anything.

135
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: And this particular individual is somebody that goes by the

136
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: name of Tom West. And Tom West was a Senate

137
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: staffer who has had his security clearance actually denied by

138
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: DNI Director Tulsey Gabberd because of his relationship with the Taliban,

139
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: because the previous role he had under Biden was Special

140
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: Representative for Afghanistan and Deputy Assistant Secretary to the Bureau

141
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: of South and Central Asian Affairs. Let me repeat the

142
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: guy who is working with our Senate. Gop worked under

143
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: Biden as the Special rep for Afghanistan and now he's

144
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,479
Speaker 2: helping them with the legislation to stop funding to Afghanistan.

145
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: Just think about that for a minute. How corrupt that is.

146
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: So Burchette really kind of laid it on the line.

147
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: I thought it was perfect. I'll let you guys hear

148
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: what he had to say.

149
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, tim Berts, as you know, as I've been

150
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: championing the cause to quit paying the dead gum Taliban

151
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: forty million or forty five million, whatever is a week

152
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: we give it them over over five billion dollars total

153
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 4: since the Biden administration. Every week, every week we can't

154
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: stop the bill. We can't when we can't get the

155
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 4: bill passed in the Senate. It's taking me over a

156
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: year to get it out of dadgam House, and we

157
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: got it fell over in the Senate. Who was a staffer,

158
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: but he was a former I believe, ambassador to Afghanistan

159
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 4: and his name is what Tom West and apparently our

160
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: good friend Tulsea Gabbard and the Trump administration denied him

161
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: his security clearance because of his alleged the relationship with

162
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: the Taliban, and so I suspect that's what's going on

163
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: in the Senate. That's why they're they're stopping the bill.

164
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: And people say, well, y'all are in the majority, why

165
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: don't you you just act like it. Well, you've got

166
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: to have sixty votes over there to pass a bill

167
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 4: of this significance. And that's the hold up. And uh,

168
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: we're going to continue to see this kind of nonsense

169
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: until the country wakes up. And I don't care what

170
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 4: party you're in, we shouldn't be paying these people any money.

171
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: They will hate us for free. All they're going to

172
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: do is use that money to come at us in

173
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: a different area and kill Americans and kill our allies.

174
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 4: That gummit, this is what's going on. I'm letting you

175
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: know about it. You can make the call, call your senator,

176
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: if you've got a Democrat senator. It does. This is

177
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: beyond that. This is this is actual, in my opinion, corruption.

178
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: We know this money flows around, we know you know

179
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: Elon Musk told us about it flowing into dark money campaigns.

180
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: And I think some of this money I'm not sure

181
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: if this is or some of the other, but surely

182
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: it's blowing back into the pockets of politicians in Washington,

183
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: and if it's a Republican, I hope they haul him

184
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 4: out of here and changed, and a Democrat as well,

185
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 4: because I don't care. I'm sick of it. We're thirty

186
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 4: eight trillion dollars in debt and we're sending over forty

187
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: million dollars a week to the Taliban and the United

188
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: States Congress doesn't have the guts to stop it. That's pathetic.

189
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: Let's fix it, thank you all.

190
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean what, that guy's a hero.

191
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 6: You know.

192
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: If you don't know who timber Chad is yet find out,

193
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: because he's worth your time. I've talked to him, I've

194
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: had him on a couple other shows that I work on,

195
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: and he is a stalwart. What you see is what

196
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: you get. He's not putting on airs. He's not there

197
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: to impress you. He's there to be fair to Americans,

198
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: be fair to all Americans. And as you just heard

199
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: him say there, he doesn't care who's lying and who's

200
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: making the mistakes. He just wants to fixed. I don't

201
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: think I've heard that in a really long time where

202
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: somebody actually meant it. There's another person. Congressman's got Perry

203
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: And let me just be clear before I go to

204
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: him real quick. This has been going on now for

205
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: the past four years, because remember we've got Biden in

206
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: there since twenty twenty one, and that's when all these

207
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: payments started. I'm sure that we had many other payments

208
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: under Obama and Hillary and the like. Because to Representative

209
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 2: Britchett's point, there's no doubt that people are getting kickbacks.

210
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: They're not doing this because they're worried about Afghani women

211
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: and children. That's a load of shit. They could give

212
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: a rip about that. What they care about is how

213
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 2: they can look like they're doing something good and somehow

214
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: acquiesced the system enough to get the money back to themselves.

215
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: That's where we're living. That's how the average senator and

216
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: congressman is operating. And you look at somebody like, you know,

217
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: Senator Sihi from Montana. You know he's young, he's got

218
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: young kids, his wife has served. And then you look

219
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: at these other senators who are voting to stop us

220
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: from stopping the money from going to the Taliban, and

221
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: they're eighty years old. And in my head, I say

222
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: to myself, I don't have an issue with you working,

223
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: but I do have an issue with you voting with

224
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: our dollars for a world that you won't live in.

225
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: That'll be the world that we live in, that our

226
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: kids live in and their kids live in. So instead

227
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: of voting for your kickback, maybe vote for your grandchild's future,

228
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: because that's really where they're at. I mean, some of

229
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: these guys are between the ages of seventy nine and

230
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: eighty four. So these are all guys that have lived

231
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: their life. They've made careers out of being a politician

232
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: or as they call them, you know, on the hill careers.

233
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: This is what they do. They've never had a regular

234
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: job like you and me, so they're used to working

235
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: their one hundred and fifty days a year and they

236
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: want to get the kickbacks all day long because they've

237
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: been doing it for forty years now. We have people

238
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: that are coming in and saying, hmm, that's weird. Why

239
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: are you sending forty million dollars a week to a

240
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: terrorist country when we're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt?

241
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: That seems odd. Why shouldn't we ask the tough questions?

242
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: And they don't have the answers because nobody's ever asked

243
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: them before. Scott Perry from Pennsylvania, another member of the

244
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: Freedom Caucus. Great human being. This is him back in April.

245
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: I think it was talking about this very issue and

246
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: asking the questions in a congressional hearing.

247
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 6: I don't know what we think we're going to change

248
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 6: in Afghanistan. We lost twenty two thousand, lost or wounded

249
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 6: twenty two thousand, five hundred Americans in Afghanistan over the

250
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 6: course of our term there in the war, spending over

251
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 6: two trillion dollars. We're just going to keep on spending

252
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 6: because somehow we think it's going to get better. And

253
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 6: if you're wondering, who's in charge of Afghanistan getting the money?

254
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 6: And that money I just mentioned the six hundred and

255
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: ninety seven a million is on top of in his

256
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 6: addition to the weekly to every ten day shipments in

257
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 6: cash of forty to eighty million dollars. Afghanistan is ruled

258
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 6: by folks named Sarah Judenhikhani ha Hakani network mean anything

259
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: to anybody in the room. How about Abdullah bin Laden

260
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 6: who gets some of that money? Does that name ring

261
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 6: a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money,

262
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 6: your money. Six hundred and ninety seven million dollars annually,

263
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 6: plus the shipments of cash funds madrasas isis al Qaeda,

264
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 6: Boko haram isis Corazon terrorist training camps. That's what it's funding.

265
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: That's what it's funding. Scott Perry laid it on the line.

266
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: He's explaining, there is no money coming from NGOs, coming

267
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: from our government that is reaching these women and children

268
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: in need. That's utter nonsense. It's not effective. What we're

269
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: doing doesn't work. So if we know it doesn't work,

270
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: and we're sending forty million dollars to the Taliban, and

271
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: I keep saying that over and over again in this

272
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: in this podcast because it's so crazy and I want

273
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: to drill it home. Think about that, this is a

274
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: nation who killed your brothers, your fathers, your cousins, your friends,

275
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: your husbands, your uncles. Think about it, your sisters, your mothers,

276
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: your aunts. They're all in vain if we do not

277
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: protect their memory and prevent it from happening to other people.

278
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,359
Speaker 2: We can't ask our kids to enlist in the military

279
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: if we're going to fund the very people that want

280
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: to kill them. I can't even begin to convey to

281
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: my own family what is happening, because it doesn't seem real,

282
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: and it's not getting the attention that it deserves, warrants,

283
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: or needs on mainstream media and even on conservative media.

284
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: And I get it. There's a lot of news going on.

285
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: It's that time of year where people are sort of

286
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 2: half in, half out of the news and politics. And

287
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: I respect it because it's supposed to be a nice

288
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: time in the year where you can be with your family.

289
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: But this is too important, and I feel grateful that

290
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: we have the Sheehe's and the Burchettes and the Perrys

291
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: who actually care enough to stick around and put in

292
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: the time in the right boat so that we can

293
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: protect our nation. There's another woman who's been on the

294
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: Sean Ryan Show a lot. And if you don't know

295
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: who Sean Ryan is, he's got a pretty popular podcast

296
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: and he talks about all sort of national interests and

297
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: deep state and threats to the homeland type stuff. And

298
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: Sarah Adams is someone that he's had on the show

299
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 2: quite a bit, and she's pretty badass. I mean I've

300
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: watched her shows. I've seen her as a guest on

301
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: many shows, and just a pretty interesting woman. Former CIA

302
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: operative herself, and she was on with Sean Ryan episode one,

303
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: one six for those of you who want to know more.

304
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: And she was explaining that it's just so much worse

305
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: because she believes it's even more than forty million a week.

306
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: She's saying it committing. We're from forty to eighty seven million.

307
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: And she said, essentially, it's actually like a stipend to

308
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: the families who actually killed our young men and women.

309
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: And we're paying those those Taliban families because you know,

310
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: they're loved one martyred out and died, so now we

311
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: give them payment so that they have something to live on.

312
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: So we've got homeless veterans in the street, we've got

313
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: people with PTSD, we've got tons of issues at the VA,

314
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: and we're worried about folks in Afghanistan as opposed to

315
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: our own. People. Take a listen to her. She's she's pretty,

316
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: she's pretty, incredible, very very well versed on.

317
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: Forty million a week that comes on the airplane and

318
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 5: comes into Afghanistan. The amount of money on the plane

319
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: weekly is forty three million to eighty seven million. But

320
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: one thing I want Americans to understand is in that

321
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 5: bucket of the forty million we send each week, we

322
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 5: are paying basically welfare too. The Taliban martyrs family. So

323
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 5: every Taliban member who died during the war with US,

324
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 5: the US government is paying them a stipend the family.

325
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 5: So our family is of Americans who died, there aren't

326
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 5: getting squat. But we are paying Taliban families for basically

327
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: dying while attacking us. We're funding that.

328
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: This is just enraging.

329
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 5: And you know, I asked a couple of people that

330
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 5: question straight out, like do you not think this is

331
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 5: not ethically corrected? Actually one person gave me an answer

332
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 5: of well, it'll stop them from joining isis? I'm like,

333
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 5: the Taliban.

334
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: Guys already dead.

335
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: They give you these bullshit excuses as to why they're

336
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 5: funding our enemies and not paying attention to the fucking money.

337
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: Spot on timber Chet's bill was no tax dollars for terrorists.

338
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: That was the act that he passed in June. Now

339
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: that bill is in the Senate and we're just asking

340
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: the Senate to do the same thing. We're begging them. Actually,

341
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: we want them to do the right thing, to stand

342
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: by the American people, to keep the money at home.

343
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: Forty million dollars a week is insane, and it could

344
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: help so many people here, and they need our help

345
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: more than ever. And I have no idea why on

346
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: God's green earth we wouldn't give it to them. Because

347
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: all of them were willing to pay the oldtimate sacrifice

348
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: and put their lives down for us when they went

349
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: over to Afghanistan to defend our freedoms. I have no

350
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: idea why we would reward the terrorists for attacking our

351
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: own people. And I stand behind timber Chett. I stand

352
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: behind Senator Shihia Montana and Scott Perry and anybody else

353
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: who's on board for the No Tax Dollars for Terrorrists Acts.

354
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: This is Lynda McLaughlin. You are listening to the rogue recap.

355
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough for being here tonight, and please,

356
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: if you want to get involved, call yourself, call your congressman.

357
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 2: Find out more about this bill. Again. It's No Tax

358
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: Dollars for Terrorists Acts, and it's Hr. Two sixty. It

359
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: already passed the House. But if you want to read

360
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: the bill, see what's in it, understand it better. That's

361
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: the way to do it again, follow us like us.

362
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: We so appreciate you being here and we'll see you tomorrow.

363
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:36,040
