I used to say it 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: like as a joke, like, oh, you have TDS, and 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: now I'm like, no, you actually have TDS. Like this 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: should be categorized as real thing. So this week, in 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: addition to the left being upset that the president is 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: trying to clean up the streets in Portland from the 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: violent Antifa groups while he's trying to keep Washington, DC 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: clean as he continues to work on Memphis, as he 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: is now looking forward to the streets of California and 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: San Francisco in particular, because they have such a ridiculous 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: drug problem and it just seems to be a heroin 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: and fentanyl takeover on those streets, with tons and tons 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: of homeless and people just using needles and drugs openly 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: all day long in broad daylight. They just don't care. 28 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: And in the midst of all this, you know, the 29 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: President is meeting with world leaders and dealing with these 30 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: really really dumb left wing party advocates for things that 31 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: have nothing to do with helping America during this Schumer shutdown, 32 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: and one of the things that people are freaking looking 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: out about is the fact that the president is doing 34 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: construction on the White House. And one of the people 35 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: that spoke out against the president was Hillary Clinton, which 36 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: I find kind of rich because for those of you 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: who don't remember, she stole like almost one hundred thousand 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: dollars worth of furniture from the White House when her 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: and Bill left and had to return it all. I 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: don't know why you would want furniture that's been used 41 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: a thousand times anyway, but we'll put it to the 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: side for a hot second. So she's saying, it's the 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: people's house, you can't do this, and blah blah blah. 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: It's just utter and complete nonsense. And so, you know, 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: the White House put out a ton of information about 46 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: what is happening to the ballroom as well as you know, 47 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: the East Wing and what they're doing. And part of 48 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: what he did was he listed, you know, over the 49 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: last hundred years, how many presidents have done various things 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: to the White House, And he goes back to nineteen 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: oh two, and I'll just lift off some of the 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: things that have been done to the White House. And 53 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: I want you to note the following items that I'm 54 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: listening to you, unless I stayed otherwise, are paid for 55 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: by American taxpayer dollars. So in nineteen oh two, Theodore 56 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: Roosevelt built the West Wing. Okay, in nineteen oh nine, 57 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: President Taft added the first Oval office during the West 58 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: Wing expansion. In nineteen thirty three, Franklin Eleanor Roosevelt added 59 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: a second floor to the West Wing, and in nineteen 60 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: thirty four he relocated the Oval Office to where it 61 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: sits currently. Completed the east wing and built an indoor 62 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: swimming pool. In nineteen forty eight, President Truman began completely 63 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: gutting and rebuilding the White House interior, and he only 64 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: kept the exterior walls during that construction. In nineteen seventy 65 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: Nixon converted FDR's pool into a press briefing room. In 66 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy three, he added a bowling alley into the basement. 67 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: In two thousand and nine, President Obama upgraded the tennis 68 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: court into a full basketball court. Now, in twenty twenty five, 69 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: here's where the exception comes. President Trump, on his own dime, 70 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: with his own money, has broken ground. He is building 71 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: a new grand ballroom, he's modernizing the wing, and he's 72 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: privately funding the entire project. So while all of these 73 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: other presidents have made far more extensive changes to the 74 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: White House and far more expansive construction projects, all on 75 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: your dime, this president is working on two areas. He 76 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: just finished the Rose Garden as well, just modernizing, cleaning 77 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 2: it up, putting a new pavement, et ce gutter, so 78 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: on and so forth. But all of it done on 79 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 2: his own dime, and people are losing their minds. What 80 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: are you so upset about? Why are you so angry? 81 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: You know, when Jackie Kennedy was redoing the White House 82 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: back in the day, they did a whole documentary on 83 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: JFK and what he was doing and why he was 84 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: doing it, and how exciting it all was and why 85 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: they were making these changes and so on and so forth. 86 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: But what's interesting about that is they did not they 87 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: did not end up airing and going through the changes 88 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 2: because of the assassination of JFK. But my point in 89 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: pointing this out was they thought it was so great, 90 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: they made an entire documentary about it, and then you 91 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: look at these people and they're freaking I was looking 92 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: at a report from CNN in twenty ten, and there's 93 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: these two reporters that are talking on CNN. One of 94 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: them actually goes to the White House. She's got the construction, 95 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: you know, hard hat on. They were doing a three 96 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six million dollar White House renovation during 97 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: Obama's administration. Not only were they not outraged, they were 98 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: so happy. They're smiling and they're laughing during the segment, 99 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: and they're they're doing first hand footage to show you 100 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: them breaking ground. I'm like, what is different? There's only 101 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: one thing different, and it's who's sitting in the White 102 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: House now. While they're very, very upset about this president 103 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: using his own money to fund changes to the White 104 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: House that will make the White House much better, structurally sound, 105 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: much cleaner, updated, all the things, they have no problem 106 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: spending your money. So while the government is shut down 107 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: and the Democrats continue to do stupid things like filibuster 108 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: on the floor, stay up all night reading poetry on 109 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: the Senate floor, it's absurd. There are hundreds of thousands 110 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: of government employees that aren't getting paid and the left 111 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: seems to think that's fine, that's not upsetting. And the 112 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: reason that they won't come to the table to find 113 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: mutual ground is because of a few items. Let's just 114 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: list them off for fun. Number one. They want free 115 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: health care for illegals. They want the funding restored for 116 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: NPR and PBS. Why why should we be funding MPR 117 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: and PBS. They want to revoke the monies that we 118 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: have allocated for rural hospitals, which we desperately need. They 119 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: want to put money back into climate and DEI funding, 120 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: but not for us, for foreign nations. And they want 121 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: to continue the Biden Obamacare subsidies. Why why would we 122 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: want any of them? What does that do for the 123 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: American people? You want to allocate funds for DEI because 124 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: of what? Why are we doing this? And then here's 125 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: some more things if we want to get into like specifics. 126 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: And I wish that I was kidding, like I wish 127 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 2: that I was being exaggerative or ridiculous about what I'm 128 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: talking about. But these are actual demands from the left 129 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: that they want in the CR the Continued resolution. Okay, 130 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: three million dollars allocate it for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia. 131 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: Eight hundred and thirty three thousand dollars for training gender 132 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: people in Nepal, four point two million dollars for LGBTQ 133 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: people in the Western Balkans and Uganda. Three point six 134 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: million dollars for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups 135 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: for mail prostitutes in Haiti. Did you hear what I 136 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: just said? Let me say it again. Three point six 137 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: million dollars for pastry cooking classes and dance focused groups 138 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: for mail prostitutes in Haiti. What the hell are we 139 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 2: talking about? You're telling me that male prostitutes in Haiti 140 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: are interested in pastry cooking classes. These are the issues 141 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: that they feel so deeply connected to and want to 142 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: devote their time to. In Haiti, a third world nation, 143 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars for electric buses in Rwanda, six 144 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: million dollars for media organizations for the Palestinians, three hundred 145 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: thousand dollars for a pride parade in lesothough eight hundred 146 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: and eighty two thousand dollars for social media and mentorship 147 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: in Serbia. So that's just a few items from their 148 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: list of demands. Can you explain to me why anybody 149 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: would think any of what I just said is a 150 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: good idea. Why on earth do you think it's people? 151 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: I mean, people are freaking. They're apoplectic over President Trump 152 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: working on the White House. It is so ridiculous. And 153 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: the problem is they know that the average person is 154 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: not aware of the fact that most presidents make changes 155 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: to the White House, drastic changes. Most presidents go in 156 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: and it's not just like they're changing pictures, they're changing 157 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: the flow of the home. I mean, think about that, 158 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: every single president before President Trump was doing this. But 159 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: because it's President Trump, it becomes a national story. And 160 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: not only is it a national story. But they neglect 161 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: to specify that he is not taking taxpayer funding to 162 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: do this. He's doing it on his own dime. He's 163 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: got private funding to make this happen. Why, I mean, 164 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: that doesn't even make sense. So these are the types 165 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: of things that we're really trying to get people to understand. 166 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: When you hear the left freaking out that changes are 167 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: being made to the White House, that this is the 168 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: people's house, that we don't have a right. What are 169 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: you talking about? He has every right. But what they're 170 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: not telling you is how they want to spend close 171 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: to four million dollars to teach a male prostitute in 172 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: Haiti how to make pastries. Don't we have enough problems here. 173 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: We're about to lose funding to our snap and food 174 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: programs for hundreds of thousands of children all over the country, 175 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: Which one of these asshole Democrats wants to tell one 176 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: of these little kiddos that they're not going to eat 177 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: tonight because they want their money to give to a 178 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 2: male prostitute in Haiti, or because they want Obamacare subsidies, 179 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: or because they want to make sure that they have 180 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: funding for a program that's been discontinued by President Trump. 181 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: There is such a dichotomy, there's such a divide where 182 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: it's good for thee and not me. Right, they're not 183 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: feeling what everybody else is feeling. They're not going through 184 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: what everybody else is going through. But I am so 185 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 2: sick and tired of this incredibly fake outrage about things 186 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: that are not true. How about you be upset because 187 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: you are asking the American taxpayer to give a million 188 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: dollars to transgender people in a poll. We got veterans 189 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: homeless on the street. We got thousands of kids waiting 190 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: in foster care trying to get adopted. We got people 191 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: who can't pay their mortgage and can't put food on 192 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: the table for their families. And this is what they're 193 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: doing with your money. And the issue is they've gotten 194 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: away with it for so dang long and they just 195 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: don't know what it is to hear no. So now 196 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: they're hearing no. Now the Republicans are standing strong. They're 197 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: saying to these idiots, come and pass the clean cr 198 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: that you've passed thirteen times previously, some of which under Biden, 199 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: Just come and do this. Enough they won't do it. 200 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: They want to stand outside on the Capitol steps and 201 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: feign outrage and act like they're being so wronged. They 202 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: are wrong. They are the problem. If you can look 203 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: at a list of Democrat demands of what they want 204 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 2: included in this bill, you would look at your family 205 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: member and you would say, this is ridiculous. I had 206 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: no idea. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They 207 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: want to take your money and literally put it into 208 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: other countries to help them achieve things that have nothing 209 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: to do with the well being of the average American person, 210 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. And why do they want to do that? 211 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: What are they getting out of it? There's the golden question. 212 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: You answer that and you can make it stop. I 213 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: know I'd love to hear it. So if you think 214 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: of it, please let us know. This is the Rogue Recap. 215 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: I am Lynna MacLaughlin.
