Well, hey, everybody. It's Linda McLaughlin here with the Rogue Recap. I want to talk to you about so many things. First and foremost, we're praying for the people that are evacuating in Iran, leaving Tehran, trying to get out of there. There seems to be quite the movement on the ground of people who do not want anything to do with the Islamic radical regime and its disgusting holdover of its people. Just too many to name, but just the total subjugation of women, women,
and children and just a religion rooted in anger and evil and very cult like. So I pray that the Iranian people finally get to revert back to what it once was in the 70s. It seemed like it was a lot better. That's for dang sure.
Wanted to start tonight with telling you how much I can't stand Governor Kathy Hochul of New York. This woman is a dingbat, and that's me being super nice and kind. She is truly one of the more dumb people in politics. She's a stand-in for Cuomo, who, I don't know if he was dumb, he was just a perv, but to say, you know, to put it nicely, she really is a dingbat. And she's a dingbat with power. It's scary, right? So...
Today we had this comptroller for New York. He goes down to Federal Plaza and he's interfering with ICE agents who are trying to remove an illegal alien and he's putting on this big show. And why is he putting on a big show? Oh, I know, because he's running for mayor.
So nobody knew his name and now everybody knows his name because he's the guy that fought ice in Federal Plaza. There's cameras everywhere. And he's basically making a scene because we have all of these people now that are interrupting the
You know, ICE agents, they're reporting where they are, doxing their locations, doxing their identities, and then showing up and trying to escort people, you know, out the back door. You can't help ICE. You can't help Trump. You know, do you guys realize how many American citizens are victims, victims of crimes committed by the illegal aliens that you want to keep here? Why are you doing that?
They're not removing the farmer, the maid that you guys keep talking about. They are removing people that have committed crimes. That's why they're down at federal immigration court. They've got a list of who's on the docket.
They're not going after the woman who was working as a maid in one of the hotels. They're going after people that have warrants out for their arrest because they've robbed somebody, they've raped somebody, they've hurt somebody, whatever it is. And this idiot, you know, Brad Lander goes down and he's like, oh yeah, I want to see the warrant. Who are you to see the warrant, bro?
Are you the lawyer? Are you involved in the case? No, you just want to, you want to make some noise. You want the cameras on and you want people to see you so that you could take a stand. Well, lucky for you, Mama Kathy came in. She got all the charges dropped. And I tell you, she's so tough. She's so brave. This is her at a press conference being asked about what happened and what she thinks about the altercation with Mr. Ladner today. Just take a listen.
Do you want to know what I really think? Please. It's bullshit. How dare they take an elected official who's been going down there for weeks to escort people who are afraid to walk into a courthouse in the United States of America because despite them having legal status and following the rules and making their appointments that they don't know what's going to happen to them. So Brad Lander has stepped up to be a guiding help for them. And this is what happens to him?
What the hell is happening to this country? I just left Little Haiti. People are being traumatized. Small businesses, people walking down the street. When I was there in August, the streets were mobbed. People were walking down the sidewalks. There were vendors everywhere. The traffic was crowded. Today, there was silence. People are living in fear. One woman just told me the ICE agents are going in and out of buildings there. They came here with legal status.
Temporary protective status was legal. Tens of thousands of people came here with legal status and it's literally ripped away from them.
Yeah. They were given illegal status from a, uh, non-cognitive president who auto penned his way through four years. God knows who was actually in control of that auto pen. Was it Jill's first guy over there? You know, was he the guy doing everything? Was it Ron Klain? Was it KJP? Nah, it wasn't KJP. Who am I kidding? She's too dumb, but this is scary stuff. And here's the thing, right? So
This woman is a walking oxymoron because in one breath, she's telling you it's not right. They're following the law. They're legal citizens. They shouldn't be doing this. This isn't fair. I can't believe this. And then the next breath, she's like, they have no right to arrest him. He is an elected official. I'm sorry. I thought the expression was no one's above the wall. Isn't that what you guys say all the time?
This is the funny thing about Democrats. It's their way or the highway, and it doesn't need to make sense. Like they have the my body, my choice. But when the vaccine came along, it wasn't your choice anymore. It was their body, their choice, and you had to get the vaccine and we're not going to let you live, work, breathe, or walk around the city. Now it's nobody's above the law, unless you're doing what we want and you're down there and you're interfering with federal business. And yes, the laws have changed.
Because Joe Biden usurped federal law that said that crossing our borders was illegal and allowed them to come. I mean, I'm sure you guys remember the people wearing the T-shirts. Thank you, Joe Biden. Joe Biden told me to come. They got these envelopes that had prepaid credit cards. They had food stamps. They had cell phones. What the hell? We don't give this to our veterans. Right.
We don't give this to single moms that are working two jobs and aren't trying to live their whole life on WIC. I mean, this is the kind of stuff that is infuriating to the average person. There is a constant and continuing demand
sympathy for people who came here illegally and they work in the system because they were given either fake social security numbers or temporary social security numbers or temporary work status or what have you. And they go and they work for these hotels, these farms and these small businesses, and they set up their own little, less she mentioned little vendors and things. And they're given the licenses and the permits to do this because they're all liberals and they want it to happen.
And they're not repatriating any of the money. That money's not staying in the United States. It's all going back to their home country. And it's also being done under the table. So there's no taxes. There's nothing garnered from it. There's nothing that helps us. They don't care. They never have. And this is the rub. This is where, you know, we really have to say what you're doing doesn't help anybody but you, your family, and the country you came from.
You're not looking to better yourselves and build a life here. You're looking to rip off the American taxpayer who is paying into a system that you are benefiting from, but not doing anything to help. You're just takers. They're leeches on the system. And I know the immigration process is hard. It stinks. It's not fun. It's expensive and it's wrong and it should be better. But breaking the law and coming here illegally isn't the answer either. And here's the other thing.
If the census were reworked and we suddenly said that the census was only going to be used to count legal American citizens, we were only going to have in the census those people that were born here. You can bet your ass that these people would not give a rip about illegal immigration.
They want illegal immigration because the numbers of illegal immigrants in their respective districts allow them as Democrats to get more congressional seats because they need greater representation. It's never about, quote unquote, the victim in their eyes. It's never about lending a helping hand or being humane. Or is this idiot Hockels talking about Little Haiti? It's not Little Haiti. It's a part of New York.
That's your problem. And what the hell's going on in little Haiti? Hocal, you're talking about vendors. How about the crime? How about the nonstop crime? How about the way of life that is not American? It's Haiti. It's actually Haiti. So they came here to escape a life that didn't give them enough options, but they brought all the things that they didn't like. That's what I never understand.
If you want to bring your culture, make your favorite dish, celebrate your favorite holidays, be with your family, play your music. That's amazing. That's your culture. But if you want to trash the United States, if you want to burn American flags, if you want to send money home and never give one red cent to the nation that keeps a roof over your head. Yeah, I got a problem with that. That's an issue. That's not being somebody who's grateful. This is the greatest country in the world.
And every day, I know I, for one, realize it more and more. And I don't know what these people are talking about. And Kathy Hochul should be ashamed of herself. She's yelling at a reporter that it's bullshit, that somebody who broke the law and fought against federal agents and interfered with federal business was arrested. And then she stepped in and got the charges dropped. Talk about privilege. Talk about a dual justice system. That's Kathy Hochul. Kathy Hochul doesn't give a rip about anybody but Kathy.
I mean, just truly, as I started with, a dingbat. And to that point, Chuck Schumer, another idiot here in New York, was asked today about Biden's cognitive issues and the fact that we're about to have a hearing because James Comer is heading it up, looking into what is actually happening, what did happen, who knew what when about this auto pen, right? That's what's really going on here. And now we're going to have this testimony. We're going to find out
from Biden's doctor and other people. So what really happened? What did, what did go on? What are we trying to really sort of suss out with this auto pen? And even the president, you know, he said, we need to find out what he needs on June 4th. He had a memorandum and it's an investigation into who was running the United States. Cause we all know it wasn't Joe Biden. It definitely was not. That man literally was out to lunch. And when you hear the
When you hear the testimony, the taped testimony that he had with Robert Herr, where he's talking about his kids and his life, he doesn't know anything. He's got the dates wrong. He's got the year wrong. He can't remember why his son passed away. He doesn't know where his son passed away. I'm like, this is nuts.
So the president is saying, okay, you know, if someone was for convenience, you know, had authorized the use of the auto pen, was it really for convenience or was it because the president was in serious cognitive decline? So Chuck Schumer gets all ticked off when he's asked the question today about the fact that this hearing is coming up and we're going to be sort of, you know, drilling down into what happened. And he shrugs it off and he says, oh, this is typical politics. Take a listen.
What do you make of the Republicans holding this hearing on President Biden's cognitive abilities tomorrow and talking about the 25th? This is the kind of coarseness that America doesn't like. And they're just unrelenting in diversionary activity actions. This has nothing to do with what with cutting Medicaid costs, cutting Medicaid help, helping clean energy, keeping hungry kids fed.
Uh-huh. So basically what you just said was, I knew that he was a hot mess. I'm one of the people that will be held liable because I knew when I lied. And so I'm going to talk about things that aren't actually happening. So now we have Chuck Schumer trying to pivot and talk about Medicaid. Nothing is happening to Medicaid for people that are on Medicaid.
In fact, it should be a lot better because we're removing the amount of illegal immigrants that are currently on Medicaid and abusing the system and taking away things that should really just be going to our citizens.
So that's the first thing about Medicaid. Then he wants to talk about how hungry kids aren't going to be able to eat. What are you talking about? When Doge first came into play and we started to hear about the appropriation of funds, taxpayer funds, I mean, we were trying to put Sesame Street into Middle East countries. We were studying transgender monkeys. We had gay, you know, Ferris wheels for hamsters.
in, you know, Dubai. I don't know. You name it. It was one thing after another. But none of it made sense. We had millions and millions of dollars that were misappropriated through USAID, which basically is the money laundering facility for the Democrats. And now they want to say that because Donald Trump is looking to make some tax cuts and sort of look at the budget and say, well, this looks like a load of shit. Maybe we could take this out.
Now you're mad? Now you want to say that it's not fair? Now you want to say we're going to leave kids hungry? You're such a liar, Chuck. It's really embarrassing. And clean energy? Give me a break. We have so much natural gas in upstate New York and you guys won't let us drill and you guys won't let us get to it.
So there's millions of jobs and people that could be getting back to work and making us more energy independent. And here in the United States, whether you're in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania or you're in the Bakken out in North Dakota, we do something called hydrofracking. These engineers are paid six figures. They go out there. They're well-studied engineers. They are taught how to hydrofrack. It is the cleanest way to withdraw natural gas and oil from the ground. Precision-based.
But no, you would rather get our oil and gas from overseas, whether it's Venezuela or Russia or what have you, have it sail across on a big old boat and then be trucked through the United States on big oil tankers. You tell me you want clean energy? Stop. The United States is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas without question.
And I have been out to the Bakken. I have been to the Marcellus Shell. I have talked to these nat gas leaders. I have talked to people in the energy space and they will tell you it is incredible what we can do. Then you look at Joe Biden just to sort of rabbit hole for a minute and what he did to the strategic petroleum reserves, especially during the last year of his tenure.
He depleted RSPR in such a way that, God forbid, if we were to get into a nuclear war, we are not prepared when it comes to oil. Because it's not just like, you know, you put like, you're not just drilling in the earth and you get your oil. We have to have refineries. We need permits so that we can do what we need to do once that natural gas or oil is withdrawn from the earth.
And you guys want to talk about EV mandates, all the refined minerals and cobalt. And there's not an infinite supply of that. And who's doing that drilling? Who's looking and mining for those rare earth minerals? Oh, that's right. It's slave labor over in Africa. Or maybe you want to get yours from Ukraine. And that's why we have to have the negotiations there. But let's have a real honest conversation about what's going on, Chuck.
Let's not just say that it's a diversion to discuss the cognitive abilities of the previous sitting president who used an auto pen 2700% more than any other previous president. These aren't just things that we're making up. These are real things.
And don't you dare tell me that if it was the other way around, that you would just let it go. Because we all know for damn sure you wouldn't. You stand up there, you platitude, you pontificate. And I got to tell you, you're really starting to get annoying. I mean, you were annoying before, but now you're just reaching. Because your own party knows you're full of it. You're a sellout. Kathy Hochul's a sellout, but the problem is she got nothing to sell. She's just annoying. And then you got Maxine Waters out there, or you got Karen Bass, or you got Gavin Newsom. All of a sudden, you're just reaching.
All of these Democrats, they have the same thing in common. They lie. And trust me, we got our own problems on our side of the aisle, too. Don't get me wrong. The McConnells, the Bushes, you know, we've got problems. No question. But these people literally get up and they sell these ideas to these mass amounts of these rabid liberals who then go out and they believe what they're being told. And it's lies.
It's sincere lies and it's meant to frighten people and it is meant to make them think that there is no way out of what they're doing unless the hand is lent by a Democrat. No greater lie has ever been told. I'll tell you that.
And as I see our men and women heading out to the Middle East, going to protect us and doing what they can, the first thing I think about is if we are able to defeat a nuclear Iran and we are able to create more democracies in the Middle East and we are able to work with these individuals so that they can see what it's like to have a taste of freedom, then I guarantee you the Democrats will somehow take credit for it. There's no question.
And one final thought tonight, and this doesn't have to do with the United States, but it really bothers me. I mean, it really bothers me. We have a serious problem happening in the UK. I don't know what's going on under Keir Starmer. I don't know why President Trump is so nice to him. I really do think he might be the spawn of Satan. This guy's a really bad dude. He's allowing these Pakistani grooming gangs. They're raping young girls in England now.
It's, it's beyond reproach. I mean, if you follow Tommy Robinson or any of these, like, um, they have a show in the UK called talk and they're interviewing these people who were either the product of rape or were raped by these grooming gangs. It is horrible. I mean, I'm talking very, very young children.
And if it wasn't bad enough, and I didn't think that those things were disgusting, they just had a vote in the UK. I think it was just a couple days ago. The MPS voted to allow infanticide if the mother feels like disposing of her child right up until birth. I mean, this is, you're essentially killing a newborn at that point. I just don't know how, what, I'm stumbling because I have no words here.
Who is okay with this? That's evil. These are living creatures. These are God's most precious things. And you're killing it? You've been pregnant for nine months and you're like, hey, you know what? I'm good. My God, just give birth to the child. Give it to someone who will love it forever. There's plenty of families that would. And the thing is, there's so much news and it's all so bad. This didn't even make the top 10. Nobody talked about this today. I saw it and I was like, oh my God.
But there is something very strange afoot in the UK because there seems to be very, very little appreciation for life, for the unborn and for the children over there. And I'll tell you what people always say. If you look at Europe, they're usually five years ahead of the United States. I hope we're not headed down that road, folks. I really do. Because if grooming gangs are here and that starts to become the norm where we punish those who speak out against them,
I'm going to be one of those people screaming from the top of my lungs that that's not okay. And I really pray and hope that all of you will be there with me because we can't allow our children and our unborn to be treated like this. It is just, it really is just a bridge too far. We'll be back here tomorrow with more news. This is the Rogue Recap. I am your host, Linda McLaughlin, and we'll see you tomorrow night. Thanks, everybody. ♪♪♪
