Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rogue Recap. Hot takes, cold facts, and
Speaker 1: zero respect for the official narrative. Sit back, roll your eyes,
Speaker 1: and let's recap rogue style.
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, and Welcome to the Rogue Recap. This
Speaker 2: is episode four of Soundbites. I'm here with my dear
Speaker 2: friend and colleague, Eric Aggers.
Speaker 3: Eric, what's happy Wednesday, Linda. It's good to be here.
Speaker 3: The world continues to be crazy, and we're here to
Speaker 3: just help make sense of it.
Speaker 2: All I said yesterday when I was doing my podcast,
Speaker 2: I said, well, guess what, there's a lot of shit
Speaker 2: going on today. I know you guys are shocked sitting
Speaker 2: in all that. I just said that out loud because
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous, right, And yesterday's show that I did was
Speaker 2: the all the Shit you Forgot show. So it's like,
Speaker 2: what's going on with Swall? Well, what happened to Diego?
Speaker 2: Do we know anything more about our UFO friends? Like honestly, like,
Speaker 2: we have another attempt at shooting on our president. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, you know what, like you can't
Speaker 2: even keep you can't make it up? Right, we got
Speaker 2: the UAE walking out of OPAC. I'm like Okay, let me.
Speaker 2: Can I just get a pencil? Guys? Hang on, okay,
Speaker 2: diabolical world. I'd be right back with you. Just need
Speaker 2: a pencil. I mean, I can't keep up, you know, and.
Speaker 3: It's too much to keep up with. And not all
Speaker 3: of it matters, but a lot of it does, like
Speaker 3: including the thing you just said. So, I mean, the
Speaker 3: world's constantly changing, which makes some of the things that
Speaker 3: people are more interested in and focused on all the
Speaker 3: more ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Indeed, and we have some really fun ridiculous stuff today.
Speaker 2: So our namesake of the show is soundbites, and we
Speaker 2: love to play them here for you because sometimes we
Speaker 2: find these little gems and we're like, what in God's
Speaker 2: great name was going on that day? Did you not
Speaker 2: have breakfast? What happened? So one of the funnier things
Speaker 2: that is not getting a lot of attention, and it
Speaker 2: should is AOC decided to walk again. We advise her
Speaker 2: always just to you know, inside thoughts, like she should
Speaker 2: just rest in the inside thought space, but she doesn't.
Speaker 2: She likes to talk out loud.
Speaker 3: Right, She's not quiet, you know, she's got a lot
Speaker 3: of energy. She's dancing our rooftop, she's dancing behind the bars,
Speaker 3: and she's you know, she's got lots of things to say.
Speaker 2: She does. Let's listen to her latest gem. It's it's
Speaker 2: just so precious.
Speaker 4: Rivers in rural areas were on fire because of corporations
Speaker 4: poisoning the people who lived in those areas, poor middle
Speaker 4: class communities getting poisoned and dumped on by corporations like
Speaker 4: Deloitte and three M pouring chemicals into these places. And
Speaker 4: they want to call it a democratic priority.
Speaker 3: So that not everybody knows that Deloit isn't accounting firms.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a super kept secret. I mean, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I can so this is what's funny. I can remember
Speaker 2: being in like my first year of college and everyone's like,
Speaker 2: just get an internship with Deloitte. It's the easiest, it's
Speaker 2: great for business. I hated accounting, so I was like, no,
Speaker 2: thank you. But it's pretty well known, especially in New York.
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, is this your first day here? Like
Speaker 2: I just I couldn't believe when she said it. At first,
Speaker 2: I thought she was gonna laugh. I was like, this
Speaker 2: has to be Ai, this can't be a real thing. Nope, No,
Speaker 2: it's real.
Speaker 3: She said, It's like it's like going to Chick fil
Speaker 3: a and trying to order steak sandwich. Expecting to get
Speaker 3: a lot of pollution from an accounting firm is probably
Speaker 3: not something that most people experience. But it doesn't mean, hey,
Speaker 3: she's on a roll.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: The point is it doesn't matter who's doing the polluting,
Speaker 3: doesn't even matter if actual polluting doesn't occur. It sounds
Speaker 3: good and so she is happy to air it.
Speaker 2: And on top of which, here's the even more funny
Speaker 2: part about the whole thing. She goes, she goes, it's
Speaker 2: three M, and it's it's Deloitte. I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 2: three M makes post its and Deloitte does accounting, So
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, like maybe Petro, maybe Exxon.
Speaker 2: I can like vibe with you on this potentially.
Speaker 3: Also, by the way, that was true, then who are
Speaker 3: we blaming? And we blame in like the Trump administration
Speaker 3: or I mean, the bidens were like handing out, as
Speaker 3: they like to say, the green energy like gold bars
Speaker 3: off the Titanic. So I'm pretty sure we had among
Speaker 3: the more lucrative and wasteful investment in green energy. Restrictions
Speaker 3: on lots of different environmental things. So Eve. In fact,
Speaker 3: we do see lakes on fire at every turn. I
Speaker 3: guess blame your local accountant.
Speaker 2: She's like it's so extreme. She's like, it's fire, there's
Speaker 2: so much going on.
Speaker 3: I'm like, that is that smoke. No, it's just a
Speaker 3: stack of W nine's.
Speaker 2: It's just my brain on fire, some peg for everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, it's pretty funny. Let's go to and
Speaker 2: other crazy people in Congress. We have Rosa Deloro. So
Speaker 2: Rosa Deloro. You won't know her name, but you will
Speaker 2: know her hair. She has trademark hair. Her hair has
Speaker 2: always like some streak of blue or purple. She looks
Speaker 2: like tails from the crypt. I'm sorry, that's not me
Speaker 2: being mean. That is a reality. If you google her,
Speaker 2: you will say, oh no, Linda was right.
Speaker 3: It is a really trippy cartoon that came out when
Speaker 3: I was a little boy. It's called The Last Unicorn,
Speaker 3: and there's a scene where like it looks like this
Speaker 3: very powerful birds in a cage, but if you look closely,
Speaker 3: it's actually like this hearty that's like a part gypsy.
Speaker 3: This is exactly what she looks like. It's like she's
Speaker 3: got gypsy hair. Linda, and that's why it's a lot.
Speaker 2: For sure, Bro and I. So this exchange, this is
Speaker 2: with the administrator of the EPA, which is Lee Zelden.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know Lee Zelden. Leezelden ran for
Speaker 2: governor in New York. Obviously it's rigged to shit here,
Speaker 2: so you can't ever get elected if you're a Republican.
Speaker 2: He was a congressman. He's incredibly smart. He's an attorney,
Speaker 2: but he's very, very calm when he speaks. He's always
Speaker 2: measured because he is armed with something called facts. He
Speaker 2: does not play in the AOC Deluo space. So this
Speaker 2: exchange is Deluo and Zelden desperately trying to talk to
Speaker 2: Dolo about facts. It's about three minutes, so we're not
Speaker 2: gonna play the whole thing, but we're gonna start and
Speaker 2: stop and comment because honestly it's worth it. It's just
Speaker 2: good times for everybody. So take a listen. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to you on the other side of this part.
Speaker 6: You're here because you need money from us, So halt
Speaker 6: for the second and wait for the questions and answer
Speaker 6: the question. When climate changes flooding our streets, poisoning our air,
Speaker 6: driving up healthcare and disaster carts. How can the EPA
Speaker 6: justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters
Speaker 6: under the false flag of economic.
Speaker 7: Growth following the law Section two of two of the
Speaker 7: Clean Air Act? Where is the same thing about fighting
Speaker 7: global climate change? Loper Braid Supreme Court case. You're familiar
Speaker 7: with it?
Speaker 6: No, I maybe others are not.
Speaker 7: But let me ask you, but that's really important as
Speaker 7: a member of Congress.
Speaker 2: Stopped there for one second. So one thing that I
Speaker 2: have always noticed, and Eric, tell me if you agree,
Speaker 2: whether it's Maxine Waters, whether it's Nancy Pelosi, whether it's
Speaker 2: Nuddie Deloro. Here they have prepared notes, right, yep. They're
Speaker 2: reading from a script that somebody else wrote. They've clearly
Speaker 2: never read it. This is like, this is like a
Speaker 2: first pass, right, they haven't done in a pre run.
Speaker 2: There's no there's no practice trial here that they were
Speaker 2: like with a staffer like what does this mean? And
Speaker 2: so she's like, right, because once she didn't write it,
Speaker 2: and two she knows it's.
Speaker 3: Shit well, and she's obviously got the conversational pattern of
Speaker 3: an aging woman. So this guys, like the humm and
Speaker 3: a humm and a humming. That kind of thing happened,
Speaker 3: and it's like there's a staccato stutter before you like
Speaker 3: eventually shifted into gear and the mission started working. Uh,
Speaker 3: Like that's clearly what's happening here. And I like how
Speaker 3: in all the notes she didn't have oh wait, the
Speaker 3: overriding governing document that actually is in charge.
Speaker 2: Of this specific part of government.
Speaker 3: Also also like what world is are she and aoc
Speaker 3: and in where like you walk outside and you've got
Speaker 3: lakes on fire and the streets underwater, like it's springtime. Guys,
Speaker 3: it's nice outside, Like.
Speaker 2: You're in DC, got cherry blossoms. Yeah, what are we missing?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really But but the best part of
Speaker 2: Zelden is like, so yeah, there's a Supreme Court case
Speaker 2: that yeah, they oversee are the law that we that
Speaker 2: guides our division.
Speaker 3: So it's I need to I need to invite Lee's
Speaker 3: Elden in my house because when my preteen daughters like
Speaker 3: running through the list of terribles they are they inflicting
Speaker 3: her life and I'm like, we please just take your medication.
Speaker 3: Then I need I need to channel my inner Lee Zelden.
Speaker 3: So this is good. This is you made me a
Speaker 3: better parent today, Linda, thank you.
Speaker 2: All Right, We're gonna pick the LAUO back up because
Speaker 2: it gets better.
Speaker 7: Congress Lobra Bright says that we as as an agency
Speaker 7: don't have the authority to get creative if Section two
Speaker 7: two of the Clean Air Act now.
Speaker 6: But you don't have excuse me, you do not have
Speaker 6: the right to take climate does not exist. That it's
Speaker 6: a hoax, and that's where this administration is.
Speaker 7: You're upset that you don't know what loprabride is. Do
Speaker 7: you know what the major policies doctrine?
Speaker 6: Except I'm upset because.
Speaker 7: You know what the major policies doctrine is. You're a
Speaker 7: member of Congress, you should know.
Speaker 6: Well, you're you're you have moved from someone who defended
Speaker 6: the environment.
Speaker 2: To all of us.
Speaker 7: I'm very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark
Speaker 7: Supreme Court cases of the last years.
Speaker 6: Are very defensive about changing your policy and your positions
Speaker 6: with regard to the environment.
Speaker 7: Just do you want me to tell you what the
Speaker 7: two biggest core cases are of the last few years?
Speaker 7: Michigan whoa West Virginia versy.
Speaker 6: No, you're here because you need money from us, so
Speaker 6: halt for the second.
Speaker 2: It's like ridiculous. He's it's such a SmackDown. I feel
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad for her because she's criminal, but
Speaker 2: it is embarrassing. He's like, but can we just talk
Speaker 2: about the governing principles of my She's like, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 3: He's going to back up. He's like, hey, forget about
Speaker 3: the cases. How about the Supreme Court. You know what
Speaker 3: that is. There's nine of them. They have robes, they
Speaker 3: kind of get together, they talk.
Speaker 2: They're there for a long time. You could like like
Speaker 2: a lifetime. Actually it's an appointment. You know, you guys
Speaker 2: vote on it, just you know, I mean, wow. Anyways,
Speaker 2: this is Deloro in her finest Zelden God bless him.
Speaker 2: He comes out and he really tries to walk her
Speaker 2: off the ledge. She struggles with it for about another
Speaker 2: two minutes. We're not we're not going to torch you,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, because we're nice people. You know. We
Speaker 2: want you to be, you know, loving the show and listening.
Speaker 2: We don't want you tuning out because Delauo's got you
Speaker 2: driving off the rope. God forbid.
Speaker 3: Well, and remember we talked about this before, But I
Speaker 3: do think it's an important point, and I love that
Speaker 3: you keep finding these clips to kind of reinforce it.
Speaker 3: She's not interested in actually governing, Like she's like, I mean,
Speaker 3: think about what she just said. You don't have the
Speaker 3: right to say climate change is not real. He actually does.
Speaker 2: He actually does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the and ironically they've actually figured out a
Speaker 3: way legally to sort of remove I think, you know,
Speaker 3: one of the doctrines under which they would be compelled
Speaker 3: to invest in based on that premise. But all that
Speaker 3: to say, she's not interested in passing policies. They know
Speaker 3: what the committee votes are. She's just trying to get
Speaker 3: a clip, as you said, so we can play it.
Speaker 3: And she's like this, but also on the other side,
Speaker 3: because look at her, she's fighting against that evil these
Speaker 3: elden yes.
Speaker 2: And the one thing miss is Eldon is well, I
Speaker 2: know you changed your positions. He's like, I'm not changing
Speaker 2: my positions. I'm literally just citing the law. And she
Speaker 2: goes with the administration and Trump and that's what they want,
Speaker 2: and he's just like, lady, can you just focus. Can
Speaker 2: we just let's just let's knuckle down here, Let's do
Speaker 2: it together, you know, And he's like, no, the hand
Speaker 2: is up. I hate when people do that the hand thing.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, are you a crossing guard? What's happening?
Speaker 2: Please stop? Anyways, that shit drives me nuts.
Speaker 3: I just saw the movie Crazy Stupid Love recently, and
Speaker 3: like Ryan Gosling, it is like, are you Steve Jobs?
Speaker 3: Do you have the right to wear those shoes? It's
Speaker 3: like do you have the right to wear that hair?
Speaker 3: Like You're like, you're an elected representative of Congress. What
Speaker 3: are you doing?
Speaker 2: It's so bad? But you know what, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of them like that now in Congress. Like I was
Speaker 2: looking at, Oh, let's divot, let's pivot for one second.
Speaker 2: Yesterday we had King Charles come Chucky Boy with his wifey.
Speaker 2: So these two scumbags decide to come to the United States,
Speaker 2: like because the Boston tea party wasn't enough. Bro, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're not interested. Didn't you get that, momo bi? So
Speaker 2: long story short, they come yesterday, they're going to speak
Speaker 2: to Congress. All of a sudden, the assholes who won't
Speaker 2: show up to vote for the Save Act are in
Speaker 2: full attendance, and this entire division of people who scream
Speaker 2: about no kings are like that PI is here, let's
Speaker 2: take pictures. I'm like, where's your sorows made sign?
Speaker 3: Didn't you have that?
Speaker 2: At the ready? I was like, I was so blown
Speaker 2: away by the attendance of the left, even ilhan Omar
Speaker 2: was there. I was like, what is going on?
Speaker 3: We actually we're talking about that in the office. What
Speaker 3: do you think that's about? Like I don't understand. Like
Speaker 3: Disney people, you kind of get because at least there's
Speaker 3: rides and there's movies, right, But like Royal people, I
Speaker 3: just don't understand it at all. But then I'm actually,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't shock me if the Royals eventually get kind
Speaker 3: of run out of the country, you know, with the
Speaker 3: increase in a Islamophobia. I know, we have a clip
Speaker 3: from New York about what's happening in some of these
Speaker 3: playgrounds now, but like, eventually I could just see it
Speaker 3: seems very anti kind of woke to have these old
Speaker 3: white people that just get to be in charge of everyone.
Speaker 3: So it's like shocking that they, you know, they have
Speaker 3: as much popular in behalf of the left as they do.
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you this is a very interesting
Speaker 2: point of note. So Peter mcklvin who hosts a great
Speaker 2: podcast called Hearts of Oak out of England. And I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what part of England he's in, and I
Speaker 2: wouldn't disclose it even if I did, because he's a
Speaker 2: conservative and I'm sure they want to kill him. But
Speaker 2: he writes often for American outlets and he's actually on
Speaker 2: Bannon a lot too. I'm sure you've seen them. But
Speaker 2: he sent me an article that he wrote the other
Speaker 2: day about this Christian preacher who was arrested on the
Speaker 2: streets of London. Just spread the word, you know, the
Speaker 2: good word, right, and he's arrested. But the Muslims standing
Speaker 2: all around him, who are you know? They got their
Speaker 2: carpets out, they got all the bed sheets on, they're bowing,
Speaker 2: they're doing all the things. All right, have at it,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Nobody says a word now,
Speaker 2: King Charles at the end of Ramadan, and I think
Speaker 2: also for Ayd gave two addresses to the people of
Speaker 2: England talking about oh, we stand with you in solidarity,
Speaker 2: but never delivered the message of Easter the holiest of days.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, huh, I'm like that's interesting. So you
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about you know, our Lord and
Speaker 2: Savior rising from the most horrible part of our religion,
Speaker 2: right with you're a Christian, any denomination of Christian. This
Speaker 2: is a moment that we all it's a very solemn day, right,
Speaker 2: it's a holiday, and we're happy that he has risen, right,
Speaker 2: but it's a sad day. You know. We're going through
Speaker 2: that whole three days, not a word, not one word.
Speaker 2: So I think ilhan o Mar might feel more at
Speaker 2: home with the king than her own.
Speaker 4: Nah.
Speaker 3: That's an interesting point, Like, is King Charles attempting to
Speaker 3: pull one of these like ali g code switch type things.
Speaker 3: You gonna say, Hey, listen, fellow Londoner's you know the
Speaker 3: official meal of England is no longer fish and chips.
Speaker 3: It's now falafel.
Speaker 2: Thank you, And let me tell you something that is
Speaker 2: truer than you know. When I was in London six
Speaker 2: years ago, so the last time I was there, I
Speaker 2: was in I was in Trafalgar Square and I was
Speaker 2: there for we were broadcasting from there, and I looked
Speaker 2: around and I was like, I stand out here, this
Speaker 2: is a little odd, Like it was odd, and it
Speaker 2: was noticeable, hadn't been like probably in five years. And
Speaker 2: now I haven't been in six years, and I hear
Speaker 2: it so much worse, Like it's god awful. And obviously
Speaker 2: we talked about the rape inquiry, you know, a few
Speaker 2: times and what was happening there, but it was cure
Speaker 2: Starmer and the King who's suppress.
Speaker 3: No, I know that's which I didn't think that was
Speaker 3: a real story at the time, and then you find out, no,
Speaker 3: it is a real story. Yeah, that's and that's where
Speaker 3: that's so Actually this is the perfect kind of pivot
Speaker 3: to the New York City thing, right, because you've seen like,
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't get into the hole. Oh you know,
Speaker 3: mom don is going to ISLAMI fi New York City
Speaker 3: and I don't even know that you want to draw
Speaker 3: a connection between mom Donnie's being the mayor and now
Speaker 3: you have people praying, uh, you know, five times a
Speaker 3: day at Times Square and like And I think there's
Speaker 3: even a rationalization and an innocent one for this clip
Speaker 3: of like a New York City thing.
Speaker 2: But think in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3: But I do think there are some challenging questions to
Speaker 3: ask afterwards.
Speaker 8: Okay, let's take a look.
Speaker 2: What is this dance?
Speaker 4: The job.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, So so you know it's an Islamic cultural celebration.
Speaker 3: You got these regular kids from p S fifty two
Speaker 3: or whatever it is in Brooklyn. You guys still do
Speaker 3: the numbers, right, yeah, yeah, okay, So like so that's
Speaker 3: fine because I mean you do learn about other cultures.
Speaker 3: But then the question would be, like, are they still
Speaker 3: doing like the Pilgrims? Are they would they do the
Speaker 3: same thing for Jews? No? For real, Like I think
Speaker 3: that I think those are real questions that are worth asking.
Speaker 3: And you know, my daughter's in chorus, and uh, we
Speaker 3: go to a school that you know, is very diverse,
Speaker 3: and so we we have like a celebration of the diversity.
Speaker 3: And at the at the concert where you know, we
Speaker 3: were in the minority and uh, and they're like, hey,
Speaker 3: if you're feeling and stand up and dance, you know.
Speaker 3: And I kind of wonder if all those white people
Speaker 3: in this Brooklyn thing like all right, I guess we're
Speaker 3: gonna stand up and dance for this. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well you look at them in that video, bro, they
Speaker 2: are up there clap and they are at.
Speaker 3: It, But are they like really but are they like
Speaker 3: really vibe it? Ors like the Joe Biden at the
Speaker 3: concert kind of staring blank like, uh.
Speaker 2: No, I'll tell you what. I could give a shit
Speaker 2: less about the teachers. I care about the kids because
Speaker 2: the kids. First of all, it's not a Madrasa. Okay,
Speaker 2: it is a public school. So you've got these guys
Speaker 2: there that got the big drum and the you know,
Speaker 2: the music that sounds like they're about to do the
Speaker 2: call to prayer in the middle of the desert. Fine, whatever,
Speaker 2: knock yourself out. But if my kid's going to school
Speaker 2: to learn science and math, learn science and math. And
Speaker 2: I'm curious how many parents knew that was happening that day,
Speaker 2: because if I knew that was happening, I would have
Speaker 2: opted my child out. I would have kept my school,
Speaker 2: my son home from school, which I'm doing something like
Speaker 2: that very similar right now, where they're doing some kind
Speaker 2: of testing at school. I don't believe in it. I
Speaker 2: think it's bullshit. My kid doesn't go, I take him
Speaker 2: in later, I signed him out, all the things whatever,
Speaker 2: you have to give all these special reasons why. I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know why, because I said so, that's why. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's the mom rule. You're welcome. But I struggle with this.
Speaker 2: This is the indoctrination of our kids that we talk
Speaker 2: about all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's certainly it's hard to different and shape.
Speaker 3: If it wasn't indoctrination like it, it could also look
Speaker 3: like it. Right. Oh yeah, I will say in defense
Speaker 3: of the schools, and this is you know, as someone
Speaker 3: who's got three kids in public school, it's it's about
Speaker 3: to be early May. They're not doing anything in damn school,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. The testing's over there they
Speaker 3: do they're mailing it in, so they weren't doing.
Speaker 2: Your timing is different, though, you're like, you go back earlier,
Speaker 2: so you're.
Speaker 3: Almost saying if they weren't doing Islamic Dance Festival, they'd
Speaker 3: be doing Disney Movie Day, which is a difference.
Speaker 2: To tell you something, though, I'm okay with you doing
Speaker 2: Cultural Dance Day. But Cultural Dance Day should be all culturals,
Speaker 2: or it should be Monday is the Irish Jake, Tuesday
Speaker 2: is the Italian Conte Day. Whatever.
Speaker 3: You know in one way that there's one way to
Speaker 3: solve this. What do they do on Saint Patrick's Day?
Speaker 3: Let me see that video and then.
Speaker 2: Thank you exactly was everybody you know, oh brocking around?
Speaker 2: If they were, I'm fine with it otherwise, have a
Speaker 2: nice day. All right, let's talk about more woke DEEI
Speaker 2: bullshit in ann Arbor, Michigan. Did you hear about this?
Speaker 3: I only saw across this clip, and you know, so
Speaker 3: I guess they are actively removing I couldn't. I was
Speaker 3: trying to. I did a little bit of a deep
Speaker 3: dive on this. It looks like what they're trying to remove,
Speaker 3: but you can't. You kind of can't see in the video,
Speaker 3: but it looks like they're doing like the neighborhood crime
Speaker 3: Watch signs, Like that's what I think the logo is.
Speaker 3: So they're actively removing the neighborhood crime watch signs. And
Speaker 3: then here's a video of like leaders in the city
Speaker 3: of ann Arbor, Michigan explaining why they're doing this.
Speaker 2: This is the mayor, this is a mayor and a
Speaker 2: city council woman of ann Arbor. Well listen and then
Speaker 2: we'll explain a little bit.
Speaker 7: And they're inconsistent with our values an Arbors who are
Speaker 7: welcoming community.
Speaker 9: We don't want to push people away.
Speaker 2: We want to welcome folks in.
Speaker 10: You know, there are people that look like me and
Speaker 10: and also my community that have beig questions quite frankly
Speaker 10: in their own neighborhood by others, you know, wondering what
Speaker 10: they're doing there. This is just representative of our values
Speaker 10: and what we how we want people to.
Speaker 3: Feel in the anner.
Speaker 8: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: So what they mean is you're not allowed to feel
Speaker 2: safe because the only people who are threat by crime
Speaker 2: watch signs are criminals. Bro, Regular people aren't looking at
Speaker 2: crime watch signs. Saying that makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? It means we're looking out for crime, bro,
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 3: And not to say that ann Arbor has a crime problem,
Speaker 3: but no less than their football coach was recently arrested
Speaker 3: in charge with home invasion, stalking, and I believe assault.
Speaker 3: So yeah, well it's it's it's not a stretch. There's
Speaker 3: some maybe some criminal activity happening in a suburb of
Speaker 3: checks Notes, Detroit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And not to mention, so my I have family
Speaker 2: that lived in ann Arbor, and I remember my aunt
Speaker 2: saying to me, you know, and she was a provost
Speaker 2: at a university and you know, one of these like
Speaker 2: you know, whatever, okay, fine, but she was like it's changed,
Speaker 2: like it's really violent. You got to watch your ss
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's dangerous.
Speaker 3: So I think that's what's you know, in a state
Speaker 3: like Florida, what's really fascinating is you got Rhonda Santis
Speaker 3: and like typically these universities or these bastions of like
Speaker 3: liberal you know, kind of ideology and governance even but
Speaker 3: like they don't mess around, like they put conservatives, like
Speaker 3: they've gotten rid of, like the liberal people to get
Speaker 3: rid of some of that woke stuff like that.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 3: I mean Michigan obviously you got Gretchen Whitmer and you've
Speaker 3: got you know, university.
Speaker 2: She's a bit of a weirdo if you really think
Speaker 2: about it. I can't figure her out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you would think someone who's been so
Speaker 3: traumatized by an alleged kidnapping plot would be pro criminal enforcement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's people look out, you know, be like the bolo.
Speaker 2: You're not into the bolo?
Speaker 3: I mean, what are we doing? Pick on?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry? And then of course we have to play
Speaker 2: the race card. We are nowhere if people who look
Speaker 2: like me, I'm like, what's what does that mean? Does
Speaker 2: that mean that white people can't commit crimes? Does that
Speaker 2: mean that other people who are not black, cannot commit crimes.
Speaker 2: And if people are being questioned in your community, like
Speaker 2: if someone stopped me in my community, right, I also
Speaker 2: live in a diverse neighborhood. If someone stopped me in
Speaker 2: my community and said, sorry, you look like someone who
Speaker 2: was just you know the description we received for a
Speaker 2: recent criminal act, I'd be like, all right, give it
Speaker 2: to me, what is it? Yea, if you have nothing
Speaker 2: to hide, you're never going to be that person. Now listen.
Speaker 2: I'm not the biggest fan of police officers. I love
Speaker 2: what they do, but I have not always had good
Speaker 2: interactions with them in my life. A lot of people haven't.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that you prejudge every experience like that.
Speaker 2: And that's basically what they're saying. I'm offended. So we
Speaker 2: can't have it anymore.
Speaker 3: Sorry, BRB, I need to go find the body cam
Speaker 3: footage if you having an unpleasant or action with a
Speaker 3: long person. So I feel like it's like the meme
Speaker 3: of like.
Speaker 2: DA, I'll tell you what man I got. It was
Speaker 2: one of those situations they had somebody that looked like
Speaker 2: me and I was at a gig when I used
Speaker 2: to be a wedding singer and I came out of
Speaker 2: the bar and I was thrown.
Speaker 3: To the ground. I knew it involved a wedding and
Speaker 3: a little bit of alcohol.
Speaker 2: I was in a nightclub. I wasn't even at a wedding,
Speaker 2: and I got put in the back of the paddy wagon.
Speaker 2: They kept me in the back for six hours and
Speaker 2: it wasn't me. And then the guy comes to He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: sorry about that. I was like, oh, you're sorry, You're sorry,
Speaker 2: Get me out. You don't even know what I do
Speaker 2: for a living. I'm on your side, bro, I'm like, really, anyways.
Speaker 3: Now understand the Noah con post Malone lyrics. Last time
Speaker 3: I was in the back of a cop car fell
Speaker 3: in love. I get it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, So let's see what else we have for today.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Brandon Johnson. I think that's in keeping
Speaker 2: with the theme. So for those of you who don't know,
Speaker 2: Brandon Johnson is the mayor of Chicago, and Brandon Johnson
Speaker 2: is probably one of the most racist people on the planet.
Speaker 3: Because do we think Chicago's going to do this soon?
Speaker 3: She shocks Tod Chicago get rid of the neighborhood crime
Speaker 3: watch size.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean they're doing such a good job with
Speaker 2: it active, I think we should just test our boundaries,
Speaker 2: you know, like, you guys got the shit under control, right.
Speaker 2: This guy does not care about anything but race. It
Speaker 2: is race, race, race, all the time. I'm like, sir,
Speaker 2: you just had you know, this young woman shot and
Speaker 2: you know her parents are devastated. He's like, forget about it,
Speaker 2: get the ice truck out here, We've got it. We've
Speaker 2: got a press conference to do. I'm like, and he
Speaker 2: was asked at the press conference if you remember, I
Speaker 2: think we played that clip where they said, did you
Speaker 2: think this might have been in like bad taste to
Speaker 2: do this today? He's like, what we I'm sorry she
Speaker 2: got shot, you know, I'm sorry. It's it's terrible. I'm like,
Speaker 2: is it because she's white? Is that the problem?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Does this person need to be in your diversity club
Speaker 2: club to actually to be I mean, anyways, let's play
Speaker 2: Brandon Johnson from today.
Speaker 9: This is lovely been very intentional about making sure that
Speaker 9: my administration, unlike previous administrations, have people who work for
Speaker 9: me that reflect the community. Once upon a time, just
Speaker 9: to be very blunt with you, two administrations that go
Speaker 9: seventy percent of the mayor's administration were white men, right,
Speaker 9: and that's just not a diversified approach. I believe.
Speaker 2: It's not about meritocracy anymore.
Speaker 3: Man, doesn't matter how good you are, listen as a
Speaker 3: white man, we can take it. Okay, that's fine, Come
Speaker 3: for us. We're here, we're ready for it. We look,
Speaker 3: I get it. We had a good run, okay, And
Speaker 3: now in Chicago and places like that, it's not to
Speaker 3: watch our time anymore right now.
Speaker 2: Man, it is so racist. I was saying this the
Speaker 2: other day. You remember when Rob Schneider came out and
Speaker 2: he did that skit, so for those of you who
Speaker 2: don't know, and I'll see if I can find it
Speaker 2: for next week. But Rob Schneider does this skit where
Speaker 2: he talks about when United was doing the whole like
Speaker 2: DEI and we're gonna have all women crews and all
Speaker 2: minority crews, and and he goes, we just can't have
Speaker 2: the regular white guy that's a good pilot, and like
Speaker 2: get us there safely. Like is that's not a thing.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, sorry, I mean it's that's exactly what's happening everywhere.
Speaker 2: Like the idea that we have to lower the benchmark
Speaker 2: for minorities to pass police and firemen and all these
Speaker 2: other emergency service roles, or that we can't look at
Speaker 2: a candidate because they're white or they're Asian. Right, there's
Speaker 2: this huge thing now where Asian people are too smart
Speaker 2: and they can't get in the college and there's these
Speaker 2: huge class action civil lawsuits going on because they're suing
Speaker 2: the schools because they're like, now we have too many Asians.
Speaker 2: What like, can you hear the words coming out of
Speaker 2: your mouth? It's so racist? Just stop.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 3: I remember I was at the Space Center and they
Speaker 3: were talking about how we're going to go back to Mars,
Speaker 3: but this time we're bringing a woman. And I thought,
Speaker 3: I'm sure that matters to you know, aliens, right, the
Speaker 3: look of that, Okay, I guess we won't invade there.
Speaker 2: That's why the Aliens decided to come here, because they
Speaker 2: were like, shit, they're only going to bring us one woman.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have.
Speaker 3: To go to Earth and fa But that's like, but
Speaker 3: that's actually was my favorite part of the debate in
Speaker 3: California that they had to cancel. Right, they were trying
Speaker 3: to have their first gubernatorial debate and they couldn't do
Speaker 3: it because they came up with a formula, like a
Speaker 3: scientific and statistical formula to say all right, you got
Speaker 3: to be above this special and then the formula said
Speaker 3: only white people, like only white people qualified based on
Speaker 3: the formula, and they said, all right, then we have
Speaker 3: to cancel the debate.
Speaker 2: Well, it's also that idea, right, Like, you know, you
Speaker 2: look at all of these testing scores and then you say, well,
Speaker 2: the reason why the white people are doing better is
Speaker 2: because they have more money and they come from better backgrounds.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's not true. If you look at the
Speaker 2: poverty threshold, the major the majority of people in that
Speaker 2: live under or at the poverty threshold are white. They're
Speaker 2: not black.
Speaker 3: So we actually talked to a guy and you know,
Speaker 3: I was telling you before we started talking today, I
Speaker 3: actually do some SAT and ACT test preparation on the side.
Speaker 3: And college board who admisses SAT, well, they give you
Speaker 3: all these resources for free and they say, if you
Speaker 3: will spend twenty hours doing this, your scoreould go up
Speaker 3: one hundred points. Then we interviewed actually this one Asian
Speaker 3: guy who I think has been involved in some of
Speaker 3: these lawsuits, say, it's the problem is most of the
Speaker 3: people who are spending the twenty hours are asians, So
Speaker 3: they're taking advantage of it. But it's a free resource
Speaker 3: that's available. But that narrative continues to exist and.
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with available resources, right because
Speaker 2: if you think about it, they the scholarships, the programs,
Speaker 2: free notebooks, free chrome books, free everything. If you qualify,
Speaker 2: and the way that you qualify is typically not being white.
Speaker 3: What I want to know from Brandon Johnson is, Okay,
Speaker 3: seventy percent of white guys is too much. What's the
Speaker 3: right number?
Speaker 2: What's the right number?
Speaker 3: Just tell us what the right number is.
Speaker 2: Because it looks like you're doing great. You have a
Speaker 2: massive deficit, you cannot balance your budget, you have crime
Speaker 2: higher than any other mayor what are you doing? Stop
Speaker 2: worrying about everybody's race, bro, Start arresting criminals. That whole
Speaker 2: idea of like, that's another thing we should do a
Speaker 2: show on is all of the judges that are complicit
Speaker 2: and letting everybody out because they were like, well, he's
Speaker 2: black and I'm black, So there's that.
Speaker 3: What what if there's like a three D chess piece
Speaker 3: of this and Brandon Johnson's actually doing ram Emmanuel favor
Speaker 3: because I think he's talking about him, right, He's talking
Speaker 3: about Rom Emmanuel, who would have been the mayor of Chicago.
Speaker 3: With Rom's like, see, white guys not so bad. Maybe
Speaker 3: I'm the guy.
Speaker 2: He's like, miss me yet. All right, let's see who
Speaker 2: else do we have today? Well, I know we have
Speaker 2: a Ron Johnson cut that we definitely do want to
Speaker 2: get to. And then I have this other cut of
Speaker 2: this woman. She's a I guess, let me look here.
Speaker 2: She is a Democrat in Los Angeles and she's somehow
Speaker 2: got approached I guess by her constituents and she you know,
Speaker 2: I think she's the same woman that was on a
Speaker 2: panel the other day and they were complaining to her
Speaker 2: about something going on and she rolled her eyes at
Speaker 2: them in the middle of the and they were like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is like a town hall for you
Speaker 2: to talk to about She's like, it's so annoying. So
Speaker 2: now she's on the street and she's talking to one
Speaker 2: of her constituents and they're like, you're spending billions of
Speaker 2: dollars on drug addicts and she's like, yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 2: about that. So I mean, you can't make it up,
Speaker 2: You really can't.
Speaker 7: Right, You're spending a billion dollars giving money to drug
Speaker 7: addicts who are buying drugs with the money, and you
Speaker 7: know that.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: It's just them playing on a loop. But it's literally
Speaker 2: one of those things where she's like, yes, yes, not
Speaker 2: a lot to debate there, that is true and sorry, see.
Speaker 3: This is what's wrong with like modern Democrat run Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: I was a big fan back in my day, Like
Speaker 3: you would spend hundreds of millions of dollars on drugs,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't the government doing it was the celebrities
Speaker 3: and the musicians, you know, like they let them. That
Speaker 3: was great.
Speaker 2: Nobody had a problem with that.
Speaker 3: It was like dire straits, you know, money for nothing,
Speaker 3: you know, and the drugs for free.
Speaker 2: So you know, there's a reason that these songs exist
Speaker 2: and they're so good. Speaking as someone who has never
Speaker 2: taken drugs, of course, So let's look at this woman,
Speaker 2: this Democrat Representative Sydney kem lager dub never heard of her,
Speaker 2: and she's talking about how if we don't pass these bills,
Speaker 2: the transgender boys are going to die.
Speaker 3: So before you play this, let me just say this.
Speaker 3: I saw this clip and I had also never heard
Speaker 3: of this person, but I do want to kind of
Speaker 3: positive theory, And I think it's true specifically for Democrat politicians,
Speaker 3: the more syllables they have in their name, the crazier
Speaker 3: they are. Like I'm saying, let's just try it as
Speaker 3: a thought process, you know, I'm not saying that, you know, like,
Speaker 3: think about it, Alexandria Occasio Cortes, that's like ten. If
Speaker 3: you're getting into double digit syllables, I think there's a
Speaker 3: chance you're insane.
Speaker 11: The budget bill will fund the murderous ice and Border
Speaker 11: patrol to the tune of one hundred and forty billion
Speaker 11: dollars without accountability, and the anti trans bill will continue
Speaker 11: to demonize the trans community. These bills are not just dangerous,
Speaker 11: they could kill people.
Speaker 2: So if we get the criminals with the ice and
Speaker 2: form of or enforcement agencies, and we let little girls
Speaker 2: go to the bathroom alone instead of with little boys
Speaker 2: who are confused because their parents suck, that's going to
Speaker 2: kill people.
Speaker 3: Just so, you just just to kind of recap some
Speaker 3: of the logic that we've put on display so far.
Speaker 3: Removing signs yes about you know, being on the lookout
Speaker 3: for criminal activity makes the neighborhood safer, yes, And passing
Speaker 3: bills that help enforce the law makes the world more dangerous.
Speaker 2: Bro, one hundred percent, those extra courses are paying off
Speaker 2: for you. You're doing good on these tests.
Speaker 3: Well I'm taking notes, so, like, you know, hard to
Speaker 3: keep up with you, but I'm like, all right, gota gota.
Speaker 2: All right. As we wrap up today, we have one
Speaker 2: really good clip. This is Senator Ron Johnson, who I
Speaker 2: give him a lot of credit. Man, he fights a
Speaker 2: good fight.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine how gratified it must have been for you,
Speaker 3: because for those of you that don't know, I mean
Speaker 3: again back to my whole theory, Lenna McLaughlin. That's only
Speaker 3: five syllables.
Speaker 5: But Linda, you know she could approach tangentially like the
Speaker 5: vectors of a little bit of the You're like, okay, wait,
Speaker 5: I have to sit down and think about what she
Speaker 5: just said and how much is that true and how
Speaker 5: much of it is poss insane, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, like, you have been on this from
Speaker 3: the jump, on these vaccines and like this health stuff.
Speaker 3: So I'm sure when you saw this you were like, mmm.
Speaker 2: I have to say, you know, one of the saddest
Speaker 2: days of my life was working through the first couple
Speaker 2: of years of COVID, and we worked every single day,
Speaker 2: and I was declared a FEMA employee because I was
Speaker 2: delivering the news every day because the President used to
Speaker 2: address the nation with Falci and Burke's and all the
Speaker 2: other that whole crew every day at five o'clock. So
Speaker 2: we would carry it, we would distribute it. It went
Speaker 2: out to over eight hundred affiliates. Okay, so in my
Speaker 2: other job. Okay, fine, So we did that for two years,
Speaker 2: and then Governor Huckel says, if you don't have the vaccine,
Speaker 2: you are no longer allowed to enter a New York
Speaker 2: City building. What I've been here the whole time. I've
Speaker 2: never gotten COVID, never got it, never got the vaccine,
Speaker 2: never did any of that shit. And now you're telling me,
Speaker 2: even though I've been here every day for two years
Speaker 2: covering the news when everyone else was home, I am
Speaker 2: not allowed in. And that's literally how this all started, right,
Speaker 2: And my youngest was then starting kindergarten. They wanted to
Speaker 2: put a mask on him and all this stuff. And
Speaker 2: I mean, I was out of fifty and the second
Speaker 2: that I would ask a question like, well, what's in
Speaker 2: the vaccine. You don't ask what's in a hot dog.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, I do. That's why I don't eat them.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is not a good argument, you know.
Speaker 2: But Ron Johnson, this senator, has been a stalwart. He's been,
Speaker 2: you know, locked up with those of us who have
Speaker 2: been against this from the go when they were telling
Speaker 2: us we were in tinfoil hats. And he had a
Speaker 2: pretty good moment the other day.
Speaker 12: A metal that is apparently from a Seber director, doctor Posad,
Speaker 12: in December twenty fifteen, where apparently within FDA you're reviewing
Speaker 12: I think it was ninety six autopsies of child death
Speaker 12: following the COVID mRNA injection. In that memo, doctor Pisad writes,
Speaker 12: this is a profound revelation. For the first time, the
Speaker 12: USFD will acknowledge that COVID nineteen vaccines killed killed American children.
Speaker 12: Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death
Speaker 12: were coer because of the Biden administration via school and
Speaker 12: work mandates to receive a vaccine that could result in death.
Speaker 12: In many cases, such mandates were harmful.
Speaker 5: It's difficult.
Speaker 12: It is difficult to read cases where kids seven to
Speaker 12: sixteen may be dead as a result of COVID vaccines.
Speaker 12: Putting these facts together, it is horrifying to consider the
Speaker 12: US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more
Speaker 12: children than we saved. This requires humility and introspection. It
Speaker 12: requires oversight. So I wrote a letter to you and
Speaker 12: your agency back in December fifteenth. Of the ten responses
Speaker 12: i've I've got three out of ten no responses, no
Speaker 12: response in terms of the documents I requested. So I'm
Speaker 12: asking you please, can will you commit to responding fully
Speaker 12: to my December oversight letter onredment.
Speaker 2: So RFK obviously getting the shit kicked out of him
Speaker 2: most of the time because he doesn't want to get
Speaker 2: in bed with the farm A lobbyists and all the
Speaker 2: other assholes getting pay for the vaccines, and they hate that.
Speaker 2: But he does always raise, much like Zelden, factual support
Speaker 2: of said argument, which is, we never had autism this much,
Speaker 2: we never had peanut allergies this much, we never had
Speaker 2: OBCD this much, we never had so many of the
Speaker 2: ailments that the kids have. Look at all of the
Speaker 2: athletes that died from myocarditis, and we tried to talk.
Speaker 2: I will never forget this. I tried to cover that story,
Speaker 2: and I had someone from another administration send me a
Speaker 2: letter citing that this was completely normal, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm like, you really don't care about
Speaker 2: these kids, like you're it's okay if they die, because
Speaker 2: they're not your kids. You don't give a shit. And
Speaker 2: notice that no one in Congress was mandated to take
Speaker 2: the vaccine, no one.
Speaker 3: I know that the purpose of this program is to
Speaker 3: inform into occasionally entertained, but it's had the ancillary benefit
Speaker 3: of shaming me in this case, lindit because not only
Speaker 3: do I feel like a terrible parent for not as
Speaker 3: been engaged on just all the different kind of like
Speaker 3: nuances of the vaccines and things of that nature. Although
Speaker 3: we did keep our kids away from them, yes, so
Speaker 3: I feel like I got that part right. But what
Speaker 3: I feel actually like I've profoundly failed my children. I
Speaker 3: do give them hot dogs, like a lot of it,
Speaker 3: like a lot of hot dogs, and I have no
Speaker 3: idea what that what are in them, and I haven't
Speaker 3: really been curious about it. So I want to publicly
Speaker 3: apologize to my children. I failed you. It's probably my fault.
Speaker 3: You're having these emotional freakdowns in the morning, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: My kids have eaten cheetos and potato chips and everything else.
Speaker 2: So I think we're all failing in some small way.
Speaker 2: But my kids are not getting meningita shots and hep
Speaker 2: bee shots and all this other bullshit. You can shove
Speaker 2: it up your ass. Why don't you shoot it in
Speaker 2: yourself first, and we'll see how you turn out.
Speaker 3: Farmer's gonna have to make Farmers gonna have to make
Speaker 3: money on somebody else's kids, not Linda's.
Speaker 2: That's right, baby, I'll tell you what. I'll tackle you
Speaker 2: in the parking lot, you know going. You're my kid anyway.
Speaker 2: This is the Rogue Recap. You have been listening to.
Speaker 2: Eric Eggers. I am the Lachland. This is episode four
Speaker 2: of Soundbites. We're having a lot of fun. We hope
