Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
Speaker 2: Hot takes, cold facts and zero respect for the official narrative.
Speaker 2: Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap rogue style.
Speaker 1: What's up, guys, Welcome to the Rogue Recap. It is Wednesday,
Speaker 1: April Fools Day, April first, and so far, no one
Speaker 1: has pranked me today. I was waiting for it, you know.
Speaker 1: I have four kids, and I thought, at some point
Speaker 1: today I am definitely going to get prank. But no
Speaker 1: such luck today. So pretty funny. If you're listening for
Speaker 1: the first time, I am Linda McLachlin. Follow us Rogue
Speaker 1: recap dot com, at Rogue Recap at Linda mick all
Speaker 1: the things like us, subscribe, YadA YadA. So I love
Speaker 1: April Fools Day. I think it's really funny. I remember
Speaker 1: being a kid growing up and always thinking what could
Speaker 1: I do on April fools that would trick my parents,
Speaker 1: or trick my brothers, or trick a teacher whatever it
Speaker 1: is right? But I was the worst because I'm a
Speaker 1: terrible liar. I don't play poker or all the things right.
Speaker 1: Like it's written all over my face. If I like you,
Speaker 1: if I don't like you, if I'm sad. I'm happy
Speaker 1: you're going to know because my eyebrows are going to
Speaker 1: change and my face is going to make a smile
Speaker 1: or a frown or whatever. It's never a secret. But
Speaker 1: I was looking around today I was like, did anybody
Speaker 1: have an April Fool's moment? And man, did I find
Speaker 1: the funniest post. So there's a there's a professor and
Speaker 1: he's in front of a classroom of students, and whoever
Speaker 1: posted this wrote this professor has a policy that if
Speaker 1: your phone rings in class, you have to answer it
Speaker 1: on speakerphone, which, let's be honest, that would be super embarrassing.
Speaker 1: So the students arranged to have a friend call in
Speaker 1: on April's full stay and have a really really funny joke.
Speaker 1: So I just thought this was a classic. I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like this before. And I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: the person is saying. If it's hard to hear, the
Speaker 1: is a little bit quiet, but just take a listen.
Speaker 1: I think it's hysterical. Hello, yes, okay, you might you.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, I'll call that later.
Speaker 1: Thank hey, I want to probably.
Speaker 2: That's okay. I've been accepting this and I already know
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna mean the baby, the first name will
Speaker 2: be April and the middle name will be So.
Speaker 1: If you couldn't hear what happened, So again, he makes
Speaker 1: them answer the phone and has to be on speakerphone,
Speaker 1: so she answers the phone and the guy says, Hi,
Speaker 1: this is so and so from the Pregnancy Research Center,
Speaker 1: we want to thank you so much for being a
Speaker 1: participant in our research. And actually, when we ran your
Speaker 1: I guess whatever she gave blood or whatever, right, it's
Speaker 1: a joke, doesn't matter, but we ran you know, your test.
Speaker 1: The results came back positive, and we saw from the
Speaker 1: notes that you said the father was no longer in
Speaker 1: the picture. But so we have services to help you
Speaker 1: through the process. And he goes to his whole litany
Speaker 1: of things, and obviously the teachers mortify because he's like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is the opposite. Like normally, it's just like if
Speaker 1: your friend's calling you and you're like, sorry, i'm a class, bye,
Speaker 1: i gotta go, or whatever, right, your mom, your dad,
Speaker 1: your friend, your brother, But this is like this serious call,
Speaker 1: and the teacher's like so upset. He's like, I'm very sorry.
Speaker 1: This is obviously not a call that you know, I
Speaker 1: intended for you to take in front of the whole class,
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, and he feels so bad and
Speaker 1: he's apologizing to her, and then you know, she makes
Speaker 1: a joke and says, well, I've already decided what to
Speaker 1: name the baby, and it is April Fools. So I
Speaker 1: thought it was really funny. At the end of it,
Speaker 1: you can't hear it because the kids start clapping and
Speaker 1: hooting and hollering, but he says, he goes, you know what,
Speaker 1: that was an amazing prank and you're gonna get bonus
Speaker 1: points for that. So definitely really funny. He had a
Speaker 1: great sense of humor about it, and I just thought
Speaker 1: it was the funniest thing. You know, I do this
Speaker 1: thing every night. My husband always laughs at me because obviously,
Speaker 1: working in news, I cover awful stories all day long
Speaker 1: and it gives you literally like no faith in humanity. Right,
Speaker 1: So at night what I do is I watch stories
Speaker 1: about animals, you know, animals that are reunited, or you
Speaker 1: know when military and our veterans come home and their
Speaker 1: their dogs and you know, their pets freak out and
Speaker 1: they're so happy to see them, or you know, Bay
Speaker 1: and puppies, babies, and dogs, horses, you name it. I'm
Speaker 1: watching it. And I was watching this video last night
Speaker 1: and it was a it was a police dog, it
Speaker 1: was a canine dog, big German shepherd. I'm very partial
Speaker 1: to German shepherds. And this little baby kitten and I
Speaker 1: mean baby like probably like four weeks old, maybe tiny, tiny, tiny,
Speaker 1: and this little thing is just wants to be best
Speaker 1: friends with this German shepherd, I mean all over it,
Speaker 1: rolling around, palling on its face, and this God bless them,
Speaker 1: this German shepherd is like, hey, what's up. Yep, We're good.
Speaker 1: I'm just hanging let's her climb all over them, you know,
Speaker 1: making the biscuits in the back of his fur and
Speaker 1: just like, I mean really cute, you know, and I'm like, see,
Speaker 1: that's the stuff that makes me happy. Or the dogs
Speaker 1: that see like the toddlers when they start walking, right,
Speaker 1: or babies when they first start walking, and then toddler's
Speaker 1: when they're playing, you know, when they're two and three.
Speaker 1: You'll see these dogs they're so protective, you know, they'll no,
Speaker 1: that might not be a good spot for him to stand.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna kind of curve up around the
Speaker 1: back of them, or I'm going to stand kind of
Speaker 1: close here, and they'll always protect that child. And I
Speaker 1: had that same experience. You know, my dog Whinnie, he
Speaker 1: just passed away in November, but my youngest son Liam,
Speaker 1: I had him maybe a year after I had Winston,
Speaker 1: and so it was so funny seeing Liam grow up
Speaker 1: with Winston, and Winston just always by his side, so protective,
Speaker 1: so sweet, and even when I was pregnant, I mean
Speaker 1: when he was head on my belly, he would hear
Speaker 1: him kicking in the womb and he would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, the head bob that they do just
Speaker 1: all the things, but those are those are the moments,
Speaker 1: right that we hang on to because they're positive, they're happy,
Speaker 1: and they get you through the day when you're watching
Speaker 1: humanity just literally hang itself out to dry at every turn.
Speaker 1: I mean, just it's insane. Even today, you know, we
Speaker 1: had this birthright citizenship case in front of the court,
Speaker 1: as I'm sure many of you know and followed, and
Speaker 1: it is so upsetting to see the people standing out
Speaker 1: front of the court screaming for birthright citizenship, wearing the
Speaker 1: most disgusting shirts that say like fuck Trump, Fuck America,
Speaker 1: give me my rights. I want the money. I'm an
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant and I don't give a shit. You know,
Speaker 1: dancing men dressing as women, you know, trans flags, just
Speaker 1: all the things. It's to me, it's so interesting to
Speaker 1: always see the same group of misfits, right they it's
Speaker 1: like that whole joke of like here's your flag, Like
Speaker 1: we'll just change your flag for whatever the thing is today.
Speaker 1: And this Supreme Court hearing was no different. And obviously
Speaker 1: we had a landmark moment because President Trump went to
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and sat in to hear oral arguments,
Speaker 1: which has never been done. We've never had a sitting
Speaker 1: president go to the Supreme Court and hear hearing, right,
Speaker 1: so really interesting to to see him take such an
Speaker 1: avid interest. And you know, the fourteenth Amendment of our
Speaker 1: Constitution states that if you are born in this country,
Speaker 1: you are a citizen. And it was explained to me
Speaker 1: by someone who is, you know, a bit of a
Speaker 1: bit of an expert in this topic, in a constitutional historian,
Speaker 1: that this is one of those moments where that particular
Speaker 1: amendment was meant to make sure that slaves were given
Speaker 1: equal rights in America and to make sure that they
Speaker 1: were considered one hundred percent of a person, and the
Speaker 1: right to vote and all of these equality measures. It
Speaker 1: wasn't to give people that were pregnant and got pregnant
Speaker 1: on purpose, right, whether they're four higher people that cross
Speaker 1: the border illegally give birth on our side of the
Speaker 1: aisle and then say well, my child is legal, so
Speaker 1: now I'm legal, right, or they're legal for a little while,
Speaker 1: and then they go back to the country, but they
Speaker 1: can come back or they can send for their parents
Speaker 1: later on in life. It's this disgusting business. There's this
Speaker 1: one Chinese businessman and he supposedly is the father to
Speaker 1: over a hundred anchor babies that he literally just seated
Speaker 1: these children so that they could be in the United
Speaker 1: States and then they grow up here, they live here,
Speaker 1: and then they come back and they work in China.
Speaker 1: And there's this strange reciprocity that he's creating that's not real.
Speaker 1: It's artificial, and they are working against the United States,
Speaker 1: not for the United States, whether it's through trafficking fentanyl,
Speaker 1: you know, trade secrets, you have it. Peter Schweizer actually
Speaker 1: has a lot of information on this through the Government
Speaker 1: Accountability Institute, and he's done a ton of deep dives
Speaker 1: on this and testified before the Senate probably about two
Speaker 1: or three weeks ago now, and Dick Durbin was like
Speaker 1: at him, like, well, what are the statistics. If it's one,
Speaker 1: it's too many. I think that's the thing that I
Speaker 1: always get so upset about, like how many is enough
Speaker 1: for you to give a shit?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: As we see all of these kids and women, as
Speaker 1: I talk about so often being hurt, being robbed, being raped,
Speaker 1: being murdered by illegal aliens, and it's never enough. They
Speaker 1: don't care. We just had another high school or killed
Speaker 1: in Chicago just this week. You don't hear anything from
Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson. Brandon Johnson's out there screaming about illegal immigrant
Speaker 1: rights and reparations. He's not talking about new security measures,
Speaker 1: he's not talking about how we can protect people. None
Speaker 1: of that is coming out. And in fact JB. Pritzker,
Speaker 1: the governor of Illinois, at a clip from I guess
Speaker 1: it was twenty twenty five, just resurfaced and it's him saying,
Speaker 1: if you don't like how things are going here in Illinois,
Speaker 1: you can move. That's your answer. Why isn't it Listen,
Speaker 1: we want to find a pathway to citizenship, which I
Speaker 1: also don't agree with, but at least it would be
Speaker 1: a better answer. We want to find a pathway to
Speaker 1: becoming a legal citizen for those people that are here.
Speaker 1: They're working, who knows how they got here, but they're
Speaker 1: not doing anything right now that's criminal, and so we
Speaker 1: want to help them become legal so that they can
Speaker 1: pay into the system, they can be a part of
Speaker 1: the ecosystem that is Illinois and the United States, and
Speaker 1: we can sort of put this whole your illegal thing
Speaker 1: to bed in the interim. If you're here and you're
Speaker 1: here illegally, and you're committing crimes and you're murdering people,
Speaker 1: and you're a part of the problem, not the solution,
Speaker 1: then yes, we are going to cooperate with ICE, we
Speaker 1: are going to cooperate with DHS, and we're going to
Speaker 1: say see you later. I don't know why this concept
Speaker 1: is so offensive to so many Democrats, even regular Democrats, Right,
Speaker 1: These are people that are misinformed, and they say, you know,
Speaker 1: we go back to the Billie Eilish thing from I
Speaker 1: forget which award show. She was on some music show.
Speaker 1: Who cares, but she got up there and said, no
Speaker 1: one's illegal on stolen land, and so people started showing
Speaker 1: up at her house, which, by the way, as a reminder,
Speaker 1: is built on a Native American you know, holy site
Speaker 1: or something. So people were like, all right, well you
Speaker 1: got to move because you're actually on stolen land, you're
Speaker 1: on sacred ground, so maybe you should get to get
Speaker 1: And then who's she calling the police? So again it's
Speaker 1: just there's so much of this that you have to
Speaker 1: say like, Okay, it's enough. This is ridiculous, and it's
Speaker 1: the whole, you know, good for thee not for me thing. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I digress. But happy moments, April Fool's good stuff, right,
Speaker 1: those are the moments they get you through the Pritzkers
Speaker 1: and the Brandon Johnson's. I wanted to hit some stories
Speaker 1: today that haven't gotten a lot of attention. I stumbled
Speaker 1: across them earlier this afternoon and I thought that's interesting.
Speaker 1: And I don't remember reading this. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys do, but back in I guess it was
Speaker 1: the end of last year. People started talking about this
Speaker 1: former Capitol police officer, Shawnie Kirkhoff, who seemed to match
Speaker 1: this pipe bomb that they've been looking for for the
Speaker 1: last you know, five to six years, and we shouldn't
Speaker 1: say looking right. Our administration is looking I'm sure the
Speaker 1: Biden administration probably paid them off, but that's neither here
Speaker 1: nor there. Our administration under Trump is continuing to look
Speaker 1: into what happened, you know, on January sixth. And what's
Speaker 1: interesting is as we see all of these rogue judges
Speaker 1: that are releasing criminals on the street. I did my
Speaker 1: show on that last night. Remember what they did to
Speaker 1: the j six people, people that were waved in by
Speaker 1: Capitol police to come into the Capitol, right. They didn't
Speaker 1: break things, they didn't storm the doors. The doors were
Speaker 1: opened for them. The video clearly shows it. This is
Speaker 1: not a secret. They were kept without due process, put
Speaker 1: in jails for years. It took President Trump coming in
Speaker 1: and to get them out. Tina Peters is still in jail.
Speaker 1: Tina Peters is a gold star wife and mother, and
Speaker 1: she's sitting in jail right now because she had the
Speaker 1: audacity to ask questions about the twenty twenty election. And
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people had questions about the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. And what you'll notice is whether it
Speaker 1: was COVID or the election, you weren't allowed to talk
Speaker 1: about it, and if you asked questions, you were called
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist, you were called a fascist, you were
Speaker 1: called whatever you were called. But they weren't happy about it,
Speaker 1: and they turned everybody against each other. They did exactly
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do, which was divide and conquer,
Speaker 1: and they did it. And we had all these Democrats saying,
Speaker 1: if you don't get the COVID shot, you're the problem.
Speaker 1: If you don't believe that the twenty twenty election was
Speaker 1: completely and totally with the utmost integrity and there's no questions,
Speaker 1: you're the problem. I'm like, are you the same assholes
Speaker 1: who were talking about how all of these software, you know,
Speaker 1: voting machines were going to enable people to steal and cheat?
Speaker 1: I mean, we had senators like this might ring a bell,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, right, I mean think about that, you know,
Speaker 1: Senator Warren, Senator Wyden. They wrote a letter to the
Speaker 1: administration saying, we don't want to use these machines because
Speaker 1: we think the Republicans are gonna cheat. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they got really quiet. I wonder why, perhaps
Speaker 1: because they figured out how to cheat, and so then
Speaker 1: it didn't matter anymore. Because they're like, oh, we got
Speaker 1: it rigged. We're good. That whole expression too big to
Speaker 1: rig exists for a reason. But I'm down a rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: So January sixth, there were these pipe bombs place and
Speaker 1: they kept trying to figure out where it came from.
Speaker 1: Who's the person that placed the pipe bombs? So this
Speaker 1: report came out today. For what it's worth, I did
Speaker 1: a little background and it appears that this is correct
Speaker 1: that SHAWNE. Kerkhoff, who was a Capitol police officer on
Speaker 1: January sixth, failed a November FBI polygraph test when she
Speaker 1: was asked if she placed the pipe bombs on January fifth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Now this is coming out into court filing,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to read to you what it says.
Speaker 1: You tell me what you think. Shawnie Kerkhoff was named
Speaker 1: as a person of interests in the January fifth and sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one pipe bomb investigation. Miss Kirkhoff was a
Speaker 1: US Capitol Police officer on January sixth and was present
Speaker 1: at the Capitol on that date. Miss Kerkhoff now works
Speaker 1: for the Central Intelligence Agency. According to discovery produced by
Speaker 1: the government in this case, the FBI began investigating, questioning,
Speaker 1: and covertly surveilling Miss Kerkhoff during the time it began
Speaker 1: investigating mister Cole. On November sixth, twenty twenty five, Miss
Speaker 1: Kerkhoff was interviewed by the FBI and took a polygraph examination.
Speaker 1: She was asked two relevant questions, Number one, did you
Speaker 1: place those pipe bombs? And number two did you place
Speaker 1: those pipe bombs? That evening Miss Kerkhoff fell the polygraph.
Speaker 1: The FBI polygraph examer noted Kerkhoff's very controlled reaction to
Speaker 1: the news of her failing the polygraph. How weird is that?
Speaker 1: And you haven't heard it anywhere? I mean, this came
Speaker 1: out today. People are talking about it today on X
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I have never heard this before. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm just asleep at the switch, but
Speaker 1: if you're like me, I'm like, what this is actually
Speaker 1: big news, Like we need to find out what this
Speaker 1: woman knew and when she knew it. And they said
Speaker 1: that her I guess a lot of the forensic observations
Speaker 1: and investigations, she matches the person of interest. It's like
Speaker 1: a ninety three percent match. I was like, Okay, there's
Speaker 1: something truly off. Here. And I also think that if
Speaker 1: we look at the clothing, and then you look at
Speaker 1: the clothing that was shown on the person, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: I really am struggling with why we're not looking at
Speaker 1: this more. Yeah. A computer program that match the bomb
Speaker 1: suspect's gate to that of Shawny Kirkoff produced a ninety
Speaker 1: four percent match. And when you look at it and
Speaker 1: then you watch her walk and you look at all
Speaker 1: the videos and pictures they have of her, I'm like, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that. I mean, it's just strange. Right. We have
Speaker 1: to sort of raise our eyebrows and go, all right,
Speaker 1: that's a little weird. In any event, I think those
Speaker 1: are things that definitely bear a little bit more investigation
Speaker 1: and definitely a deeper dive into what we are trying
Speaker 1: to discover about January sixth, because we are we're literally
Speaker 1: still looking for answers. We don't have answers, and we're
Speaker 1: told that if we try to ask questions that were
Speaker 1: the problem. The second story that we didn't hear a
Speaker 1: lot about today is that a seven month old baby
Speaker 1: was shot to death in broad daylight in Brooklyn during
Speaker 1: a random shooting. So the city and the state that
Speaker 1: doesn't want you to have guns, doesn't want you to
Speaker 1: have mace, doesn't want you to have a knife, has
Speaker 1: people being thrown into subways, set on fire on subways,
Speaker 1: and if you're a baby and a stroller, you can
Speaker 1: be shot dead in broad daylight in Brooklyn. Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? This is what we have going on? And
Speaker 1: imagine you're a mom walking your baby and your child
Speaker 1: is shot. It's the same shit that's going on in
Speaker 1: Chicago all the time. These places that have this lockdown
Speaker 1: on guns typically have the most violence, and you have
Speaker 1: people that are trying to protect themselves, regular people. Do
Speaker 1: you know how hard it is to get a concealed
Speaker 1: carry in states like New York? You need to have
Speaker 1: over two thousand verified death threats in order to get
Speaker 1: a concealed carry in a state like New York. Why,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I have a burn up by RNA.
Speaker 1: If you don't have one, I strongly advise you to
Speaker 1: get one. They're friends and they're great people, they run
Speaker 1: a great company, and it is legal in all fifty states.
Speaker 1: You do not need a permit and you can actually
Speaker 1: protect yourself. This is the stuff that really frightens me
Speaker 1: and you have to be able to protect and your
Speaker 1: family for that matter. Like I don't know in this case.
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's somebody riding away. They have a
Speaker 1: shot of the guy with the gun in Brooklyn. He's
Speaker 1: like on the back of a scooter. One guy's driving
Speaker 1: and he's got his arm out with the gun. He's
Speaker 1: just shooting. It's two o'clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and he's just shooting. There's kids getting out of school,
Speaker 1: there's kids in the park at spring break. For a
Speaker 1: lot of these kids this week, zero respect for the
Speaker 1: value of life. That's what we're raising right now. And
Speaker 1: that goes into another issue because a lot of these
Speaker 1: kids that are getting shot are getting shot by kids.
Speaker 1: And these kids are spending all of their time on YouTube,
Speaker 1: on these games, talking to people in chat rooms. They're
Speaker 1: getting zero education from the school system. They're getting pushed through.
Speaker 1: They have parents that aren't around, and sometimes the parents
Speaker 1: aren't around because they're also a problem, or they're not
Speaker 1: around because it's so damn expensive to live in New
Speaker 1: York to live in New York City that they have
Speaker 1: to work eighty hours to one hundred hours a week.
Speaker 1: They're not home they can't be with their kids, and
Speaker 1: their kids are left of their own devices. We have
Speaker 1: to get back to a place where we could be
Speaker 1: with our children. The time that we spend with them,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're literally you think about like a lifetime, right.
Speaker 1: The time that you are a child is so short
Speaker 1: over the grand scheme of things, the decades that you're
Speaker 1: going to spend on this earth, and that time as
Speaker 1: a child literally frames you for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: And it can make you a good person. It can
Speaker 1: make you a bad person. It can make you a
Speaker 1: person that you know is able to overcome, or it
Speaker 1: can make you a person that says, I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: do this because nobody's telling me I'm not, and you
Speaker 1: have no accountability, and you end up being the guy
Speaker 1: that pulls a gun out in Brooklyn at two o'clock
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, and then a seven month old is dead.
Speaker 1: And that dovetails into my next story of the day.
Speaker 1: There's public schools in Boston that are teaching children how
Speaker 1: to protest. They have homemade signs they're hanging they had
Speaker 1: they're walking around. It looks like a little tiny classroom
Speaker 1: and they have paper signs sticking to like popsicle sticks
Speaker 1: or something, bashing the president, teaching them to protest, and
Speaker 1: they're marching around and screaming. And there's one little girl
Speaker 1: by herself, just sitting at a table. And they're little.
Speaker 1: I mean, these kids are probably seven or eight. This
Speaker 1: is what they're doing with your children. So you're at
Speaker 1: work and these kids are marching around what looks like
Speaker 1: their library at their school, screaming against the president and
Speaker 1: pretending to protest. All right, it's so upsetting. There's got
Speaker 1: to be a spot where we can say, as parents,
Speaker 1: that's enough. That's not a thing. We are not going
Speaker 1: to have this. And let me tell you something, this
Speaker 1: is a much bigger issue because as we look at
Speaker 1: all of the other things that happen, as I just said,
Speaker 1: if you are not a part of your children's lives,
Speaker 1: if you are not a part of what they're seeing
Speaker 1: every single day, and you don't tell them, hey, that's
Speaker 1: not right. We don't need to protest. We don't need
Speaker 1: to be out in the street. We don't need to
Speaker 1: be causing trouble. We need to be focused on ourselves.
Speaker 1: Put God back into your life, put your education first,
Speaker 1: put your family first, get your kids off their phones
Speaker 1: and their xboxes and their PS fives, And I know
Speaker 1: it's hard. I got four kids. They all like all
Speaker 1: those things. But when we sit down to dinner, we
Speaker 1: don't have phones at the table. And if my husband's
Speaker 1: working late, I make sure that's the day that I'm
Speaker 1: at the dinner table alone with them. But I'm hearing
Speaker 1: about their day. If they need me, they know they
Speaker 1: can always get me. They always come first. There's never
Speaker 1: going to be a time where I'm going to say
Speaker 1: I can't do that, I can't be there for you. You're
Speaker 1: going to have to figure that out on your own.
Speaker 1: And even when my kids have had to do things
Speaker 1: on their own per se, I'm still prepping them. I'm
Speaker 1: still getting them ready. I'm still a part of whatever
Speaker 1: is going on. My husband is the same way. But
Speaker 1: there's a there really is a larger issue when you
Speaker 1: get to a spot and you have your tax dollars
Speaker 1: going there and they're protesting and they're seven and eight,
Speaker 1: and it's funny, you know, I look at this Artemis
Speaker 1: launched today, and you know, we're sending four astronauts to space,
Speaker 1: and what is so stupid? And I maybe I'm alone
Speaker 1: in this theory. But does it really matter that one
Speaker 1: guy is black, that one person is a woman, that
Speaker 1: one person's a Canadian? Does it matter? Is is there
Speaker 1: a reason why we need to point out the race
Speaker 1: and gender of the astronauts. Isn't it enough to just say, hey,
Speaker 1: this is great, we're going back to the moon, and
Speaker 1: we're excited and these astronauts are ready for this, and
Speaker 1: we're going to cheer them on because this is history
Speaker 1: and wonderful. Okay. But instead we're like, well, this woman,
Speaker 1: she'll be this she's a woman of color, and this
Speaker 1: is a black man, and then we have a Canadian
Speaker 1: showing the shut up? Who gives us shit? Nobody cares.
Speaker 1: I was just talking with my mom about this today.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can't it just be we have four great astronauts. Well,
Speaker 1: all of the previous astronauts that went to the moon
Speaker 1: were white, most of the astronauts that have traveled in
Speaker 1: space were white. What what does that matter? If you
Speaker 1: are the right person for the job, you should get
Speaker 1: the job. I mean, I almost feel like we have
Speaker 1: to be like one of those singing shows. Can't remember
Speaker 1: which show it is, but there's a show where like
Speaker 1: they don't look at the person singing. They just hear
Speaker 1: them and then they turn around and they hit the
Speaker 1: button if they like whoever is singing, right, Like, that's
Speaker 1: how it should be for your candidate. You shouldn't know
Speaker 1: their race, you shouldn't know their background or whatever, and
Speaker 1: just look at their resume. Are they a good fit, terrific?
Speaker 1: Then you can bring them in for the interview and
Speaker 1: see how they are in person. If they are terrible
Speaker 1: in person, but you hire them anyway because they fulfill
Speaker 1: some sort of quota, whether it be race or gender,
Speaker 1: you are the problem. Stop doing that. It's really not
Speaker 1: a fair way. Like, we work so much better as
Speaker 1: a society, as a meritocracy. It's like when you see
Speaker 1: people in Congress, like I look at this guy Meeks
Speaker 1: or Al Green or Jasmine Crockett. They speak so it's
Speaker 1: not even colloquial. It's almost like they dumbed down way
Speaker 1: that they should speak. As a member of Congress, you're
Speaker 1: clearly educated. You've made it this far. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: be representing your community, and you're doing stupid music videos
Speaker 1: in the halls of Congress. You're not showing up for
Speaker 1: informational and advisory meetings for committees you belong on, and
Speaker 1: then when you give testimony you get called out on
Speaker 1: the carpet because they say, well, you don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on because you don't show up for the meetings.
Speaker 1: And they say, oh, you can't say that to me,
Speaker 1: it's racist. What how is you not doing your job
Speaker 1: and me saying you should do your job make me
Speaker 1: a racist. I'm pretty sure it makes you and insubordinate.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it makes you not doing your job.
Speaker 1: I'm just tired of being focused on all of the
Speaker 1: wrong things and all of the things that don't make sense.
Speaker 1: We have to get back to basics. There's got to
Speaker 1: be some point where we have common sense. Additionally, if
Speaker 1: we have illegal aliens constantly committing crimes, constantly killing innocent people, children, women,
Speaker 1: why can't we have the common sense to remove them.
Speaker 1: You have kids protesting the president because you're upset that
Speaker 1: he wants to enforce DHS. ICE is already funded. You're
Speaker 1: upset that he wants to have things on the up.
Speaker 1: He wants voter integrity, he wants citizens in America to
Speaker 1: be a part of the process and non citizens to
Speaker 1: get out. Why is that a bad thing? How are
Speaker 1: we supposed to survive if only a very small portion
Speaker 1: of the country believes in what the country stood for,
Speaker 1: believe in what the country stands for now and what
Speaker 1: we hope to stand for in the future. If you're
Speaker 1: looking to break us down, if you're looking to not assimilate,
Speaker 1: if you're looking to be the problem, please go back
Speaker 1: to whereever you came from. Go be a problem there.
Speaker 1: We don't need it here. And while this podcast is
Speaker 1: a mishmash of topics, they're all topics that bother many
Speaker 1: of us every day. They may be stories you haven't
Speaker 1: heard of, but each of them are relatable to something
Speaker 1: that is unfinished and it's unaddressed in our society and
Speaker 1: we need to just start talking about it or it's
Speaker 1: never going to get fixed. We certainly can't leave it
Speaker 1: up to Congress. They can't do shit. We got like
Speaker 1: one senator holding the line there, and its Senator Mike Lee,
Speaker 1: and we got like two or three members of Congress.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is just in it for themselves. It's actually
Speaker 1: super depressing to see people that I once thought were
Speaker 1: like really good people and now we're finding out they
Speaker 1: don't care either. We saw who went home this weekend.
Speaker 1: We saw who went to Walt Disney World, we saw
Speaker 1: who was on cruises, who was hanging out with celebrities.
Speaker 1: It's not hard. It's actually very easy and very upsetting.
Speaker 1: And I think what we're looking at now is it
Speaker 1: is a time for choosing. It truly is. And even
Speaker 1: my own governor here, you know, he's a Democrat here
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, and he says, you know, common sense voter
Speaker 1: id laws that you know the majority of Americans you know, support,
Speaker 1: like the Save America Act. He says, we're going to
Speaker 1: suppress the vote. Why does he not want just Americans
Speaker 1: voting in Pennsylvania? Oh? I know, because you can't win
Speaker 1: unless the legals vote and you can steal because everybody
Speaker 1: hates you and knows you're a lying sack of shit.
Speaker 1: So's Pritzker, so is Newsome, so is half of Congress.
Speaker 1: You guys can't win unless you have fraudulent votes. Because
Speaker 1: the American people have woken up and we're on to you.
Speaker 1: I really hope they passed the Save Act, guys, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now. If they don't pack the past
Speaker 1: this Save Act, America as we know it is over,
Speaker 1: completely over. And that is not an April Fol's joke.
