And listen, if there's something you want to talk about, there's something you want me to talk about, I would love for you to tell me. So definitely, you know, hashtag me, at me, write me, whatever you want to do. I want to hear from you. Tonight, we're going to talk about a couple of things. One of them is very serious. And I want to kind of run through a few things that people have forgotten. And the other one's kind of silly. So I'm going to do the serious first.

Today, I saw a clip of some pretty heavy hitters out in L.A., the district attorney, the head of the IRS for the FBI, and then a member of the FBI that are leading investigations into the L.A. riots. But they're very smart. They're not just looking into the folks that were rioting.

in a violent way, not peacefully protesting as is our constitutionally protected right. They are looking at those people who were violent, but they're also looking at the people that funded them. And what's interesting is they announced this and they,

Within, I guess, like a day of announcing the fact that they were going to be uncovering the people that were supplying the funds to pay these agitators, these paid protesters, these folks that came in with literally pallets of concrete. Right. They weren't just bricks. They were chopped up concrete bricks.

that had been given a storage place behind the art museum, which the mayor of LA, Karen Bass, just happens to be on the board of. But I'm just speculating there. There's no facts behind that. And I would never suggest or even think that someone did something without ample proof. However, if somebody has ample proof, I wouldn't mind taking a look at it. That's for sure. But these gentlemen came out and released this video, very succinct, to the point,

And they're explaining exactly what they're doing, what they are looking for, and what will happen if you were a part of the L.A. riots. Whether you were there in spirit with your money or you were there in body throwing rocks, they are going to find you and they are going to take you down.

It's really great. I'm going to let you listen to it and then we'll come back on the other side. Hello, I'm Bill Assele, United States Attorney for the Central District of California. And I'm Akil Davis, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office. And I'm Tyler Hatcher, the Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation here in Los Angeles. The right to assemble and protest peacefully is protected by law. Unfortunately, we've seen individuals whose intentions are to cause damage and to assault law enforcement.

For example, last week we arrested an individual who was charged with conspiracy to commit and aiding and abetting civil disorders. These violent agitators put peaceful demonstrators at risk. The FBI and our federal partners will continue to investigate individuals and organizations who are knowingly funding and committing acts of violence against law enforcement, as well as the destruction of property.

Think before you act. The legal consequences for financing or aiding and abetting these crimes are harsh.

They include imprisonment and fines. If you have any information regarding individuals and or organizations providing financial support to commit acts of violence or destruction of property, please dial 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov. You can also upload your images and videos to fbi.gov forward slash LA officer assault.

The United States government will continue to safeguard constitutionally protected rights, but we will not tolerate assaults on law enforcement, destruction of property, or any violent acts that puts the community in harm's way. So we've got the Department of Justice, we've got the FBI, and we've got the Department of Treasury. So they are coming after the agitators, the funders, and these anti-American assholes that think they can go around

and fund and destroy and get away with it. And let's be honest, why wouldn't they think that? I mean, if we go back to 2020 and we look at the Floyd riots, the BLM riots, Antifa, and now free Palestine, stand with Iran. If you just look at all the looting,

Nothing made me laugh harder. And again, my point in telling all of this is coming, I promise. But nothing made me laugh harder than I remember being in New York City and we were getting ready for, you know, another riot. And I work right in Midtown. So all the riots went right by my office every single time that I was at work. And I thought to myself, I don't get how these people have so much free time. Even if you were a student, right?

How could you have so much free time? Don't you have to study? But it's this mentality of,

I don't have to do anything because somebody is paying me to be here. I'm not wasting my time. I was told to march, say these words. Here's your lyric sheet. Here's your program. We have a run a show for you here. Just, you know, follow everybody else. You'll be good. It's it is literally one of the best produced programs we've ever seen in our history because

Because they figured out how it works and they just keep it on repeat. They just change the name of, you know, whatever it is. So to my point, you look at Fifth Avenue, you look at Sixth Avenue when all these riots were happening, especially with BLM, and they boarded everything up.

So all these storefronts were saying, we support you, BLM. But then the storefronts were covered in giant plywood. It was sold out at the Home Depots in the New York City area. So all of Manhattan and then the surrounding areas, you couldn't get this like these giant pieces of plywood because they were being used to cover all of the glass storefronts.

And listen, everything in Manhattan is super expensive. And to run and rent the space to run and operate a store is no different. And so these people were like, OK, yeah, sure, they're going to protest. But the police officers have been completely and totally shut down. And they have they literally are, you know, pun intended, handcuffed. They can't do what they need to do to protect the constituents of New York City.

And, you know, and that extends to Queens and Brooklyn and the subways, because that's what happens, right? You got the spillover when the riot is over on sixth Avenue or fifth Avenue, where are they going? They're getting into the subway. They're walking around and they're violent. And then they start smashing windows and smashing stores and looting because nothing says I'm oppressed and I'm outraged like stealing a pair of Nikes, like getting those beats headphones.

I never thought in my life I would walk into so many drugstores and see deodorant behind locked glass, toothpaste behind locked glass, razors behind locked glass. What is going on? It's so sad where we are and we're so adjusted to it. And I think that's the biggest problem.

There's no accountability. Nobody has anywhere to turn. The leadership is just as corrupt, if not more corrupt than these people who are performing these crimes. And so this, it's this,

awful trifecta of you're getting paid to be disruptive. You're told how to agitate. And then when it's all over, nothing happens to you. So why wouldn't you do it? Why wouldn't you protest for a few thousand a week? I mean, honestly. So this, this video, when I saw it made me really happy because suddenly LA super quiet. Why is LA quiet? There's no reason for it to be quiet.

Trump hasn't stopped deporting illegal immigrants that are committing violent crimes. He hasn't stopped looking into warehouses and factories that are actually operating as a laundering arm for the cartel's money, who are a part of the human trafficking expedition that's been going on for the last 20 years, if not longer. None of that has stopped. So why has the riot stopped?

And the only thing I can point to is that they are looking at the powers that be. They're not looking at the little peons that are controlled. They're looking at the controller. And I'm thrilled. I'm like, take these people down, please. Because I'm so sick of it. I really am. Nothing makes me more angry than seeing violence and bad behavior unchecked. It's infuriating.

And I was thinking it the other day, you know, I was, I was on the subway this week, you know, going to work and I take the subway because it's faster in New York city, despite the surcharges and all the things traffic is still traffic. If you're trying to get somewhere, you're not going to get there fast in your car. I'll tell you that you could literally spend 40 minutes to go 10 blocks. And I'm not kidding. It's not an exaggeration for those of you who live in the New York city area. You know what I'm talking about? There is definitely something to be said about

for going down and seeing this firsthand. I mean, I came out of Penn Station. I saw four heroin addicts shooting up actively. Nobody's stopping them. Nobody's telling them, hey, I'm sorry, drugs are illegal because there's no accountability. I sincerely don't even know what the next step is, right? Because right now, like I was talking about in last night's podcast, our options are Mayor Adams and Mom Donnie

Mayor Adams is a far better choice than Mom Donnie. And if you know me, you know that I'm saying something. If I am telling you that Mayor Adams is the right choice. And a friend of mine said to me, she was like, you know, she's a she's a Jewish New Yorker and she's outraged by Mom Donnie. She said to me, God, what can't we get Curtis Sliwa? And I said, you're never going to get Curtis Sliwa because it's just too blue.

The Democrats cannot bring themselves to vote for a Republican, even if it would mean that they are safer. Their kids are safer. The city would thrive. They can't bring themselves to do it. All you have to do is look through the prism of history and remember the days of Dinkins versus Giuliani. And everybody was so mad because Giuliani came in and he cleaned house. He wasn't taking any prisoners. He was like, I'm done. Get out. We're done.

Committed a crime, going to jail. What a novel concept. Doesn't mean that you don't have your right to due process. It just means that you don't just get to keep going. Like you look at this guy who just stabbed somebody on the subway. It's another repeat offender. The other guy two days ago had a bottle of God knows what. It looked like it was a container of water. I'm not really sure. But he goes into the subway and he starts splashing it on everybody. You don't know what's in that.

I mean, the subway is disgusting enough, but people feel like they're free to do whatever they want. And that's why you're seeing all over the country, everybody is just, they're done, they're fed up. And I'll tell you what, I look around the world. Let's just talk about Ireland. The people of Ireland are standing up. They've had enough and their government does not care. They're not speaking for them.

They're not protecting them. They're not protecting their children. You've got these migrants coming over by boat and they're trying to look in the windows of little kids when they're taking a bath and they have it on video. You know, they have them climbing up the sides of the buildings and standing outside of schools and camps and all this stuff. What is Keir Starmer doing? Why doesn't he close the borders? Who did he make a deal with that he is unable to

To stop this. He is the prime minister. What are you doing? Why don't you want to protect your people? That's how I felt about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They were so busy getting their kickbacks and their payoffs. In the case of the Bidens, it was from China. In the case of Kamala, I'm assuming she was just getting some really good weed because, you know, she loves to smoke. She's so proud of it.

But they're just they're so corrupt. And the funny thing is, Kamala love putting people in jail. She raved about it. She would put people in jail for the most minor of offenses. And then she became Joe Biden's number two and the vice president of the United States of America, which is pretty scary. Because if you've ever heard her speak about the community or Venn diagrams, it really you get you got to pause. Right. And the weird laugh, that laugh, my God.

is enough to make anybody want to vomit. But there really was something very strange going on there. No accountability. And so I think about all of the things that happened.

Whether it was cocaine in the White House, BLM destroying Fifth Avenue, Antifa looting and rioting in Seattle and Portland, Oregon. You know, the free Palestine people standing up, ripping down American flags and putting up Palestinian flags.

People saying that they were, you know, going to support George Floyd and, you know, put a legacy in his name and they awarded his family, you know, double digit millions of dollars. The guy was in jail. He was a meth head and had formerly attacked a pregnant woman with a knife held to her belly. This is not a man that we revere. The tragic way in which his life ended has nothing to do with the life that he led.

And I really struggle with that. And then think about the COVID shutdowns, the way that we treated people who just tried to operate their businesses during COVID and the governors were coming at them, citing them with thousands of dollars of fines. How do you expect them to live?

You're allowing the big box stores to stay open, liquor stores to stay open, but you closed all the mom and pops and the gyms. So you don't want people to make an honest living. You don't want small businesses to grow and you don't want people to be fit, but you don't mind if they drink and shop at Walmart. Is that what's going on? Yes, it is. And as I give you this reminder of all the things that have happened just in the last five years, I mean, I'm not covering 10, I'm covering five.

It's frightening. You can't even keep up with the news. I can't keep up with all the news today. Somebody sent me something and they said, Oh, Linda, did you see this yet? I said, Oh my God, no, I haven't seen it. Where's that from? And that's, it's all the time. It's there's constantly somebody sending me something. And the only reason I'm not bringing up what was shown to me today is it's a little bit off topic, but it was a friend who's working in Canada and

saying that they have no one to work the prisons. And so they've employed the state guard to work in the prisons because all of the prison guards have resigned because they can't adhere to the liberal policies required of them and still do their job. There is a point at which the timeout quiet corner doesn't work. This whole idea of they just need some time or they need a safe space or, you know, they're just figuring themselves out

Enough. Maybe you need to get your ass whooped. You know, sometimes that works. I am certainly not somebody who hits their kids. I don't hit any of my kids, but my kids also know that I will take away everything that they love if they don't stay on the straight and narrow. Oh, you're, you're not going to do, do, do, do. Okay. Well then I guess you don't need your cell phone. Oh, I guess you don't need your computer. I guess you don't need your PS5 or your Xbox or whatever it is.

But parents just aren't engaged. And they're raising these kids that are actually being totally and completely misguided by the education system. The teachers that are involved in these schools where they're, you know, they do these weird videos where like, hey, this is what I'm doing in my classroom. The parents don't even know. Why do you want to do that? What is this teachers against parents thing? That I don't get.

You know, I've had some run-ins with my kids' teachers, but the teacher I had this year for my youngest son was so phenomenal. We had a great relationship. We emailed all the time. I gave her a really nice gift at the end of the year. I thanked her so much for all of her hard work because I was so grateful for the terrific way in which she worked with the kids in the classroom. But that is so few foreign in-between.

Instead, we have these liberals who took on the job of being a teacher so that they could indoctrinate the next generation of lunatics and make them like them. And it really is very, it's frightening.

Because now when you talk to somebody, I was just talking to somebody today who asked me about what happened with Iran and the strikes in Iran. And why did the president do that? And I realized she has to ask me because it's nowhere in the news. Nobody's telling the truth about what's actually going on and why the decisions that we made as a nation were made and what we're doing now. It's just it's overwhelming. I know it's overwhelming. It is for me, too.

But unless and until we start to have some accountability for all of these things, and I'll tell you what, I can't wait for the midterms because there are so many people on both the right and the left that need to get primaried. I'm so sick.

Of the fake, fake congressmen and women who were in there doing nothing. Maxine Waters, she's got to go. She's got to go five minutes ago. Terrible human being. Lisa Murkowski, got to go. Complete and utter rhino. Mitch McConnell should have gone 10 years ago. John Thune, see you later. John Cornyn, get out. I'm sick of you people. You are doing nothing.

to benefit the American people. Absolutely nothing. You've been there too long. John Cornyn and John Thune are no better than Chuck Schumer. Mark my words, no better. They have a different initial following their name, claiming to delineate a party difference. Nope. No, they're not. They're all paid the same way. It's like when RFK goes in and he calls out people for being on the payroll at Big Pharma.

And they're like, that's not relevant. Why isn't it relevant? You're sitting on a committee that allows you to make decisions about vaccine schedules or who gets to make decisions about pharmaceuticals. And you are taking a kickback. The very thing that you're so worried about with all the Republicans, you're actually doing yourself. That's how you know. And you know what else is true? The more angry people get when you try to talk to them about these things, the

is all you need to know when it comes to who's lying and who's not. Because when you're telling the truth, you don't get upset. You just don't. You know, Mamdani, when you ask him to denounce Sharia law or to denounce, you know, child brides or to denounce and he doesn't do it, you don't have to ask him why he's not doing it. You know why he's not because he supports it. If you're not willing to denounce something and you're not willing to say, sorry, I'm

That's not okay in my book. Or I don't know anything about that, but what you're telling me sounds horrible. I mean, why aren't we able to get behind the fact that child brides are a bad thing? You know, pedophilia in the Islamic culture, these young boys that stand around and dance for older men and they throw money at them. That feels a little weird to me. I don't know. And then you have these child brides, which I talk about all the time because I don't think we can talk about it enough.

And nobody wants, nobody wants to address it. Problem is we got the Diddy trial going on right now. What's the Diddy trial about? Oh, I know perversion, pedophilia, trapping people in trapping people, having them at these parties, making them do things, feeding them drugs, right?

It is a culture of debauchery and it all circles back to the same thing. Whether we're talking about these radical groups, and I'll say them again because it bears repeating BLM, Antifa, free Palestine, the George Floyd movement, the looting, all of it. It's all the same thing.

No accountability. Nobody wants to talk about it. You know what I saw on every channel today? I saw everybody talking about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez getting married. Two people who have more money than God got married in Italy. Good for you. Congratulations. You know what's really interesting about that?

A bunch of liberal assholes flew over there. The same ones that are telling you that we need to pay carbon credits and we have to go green and they're climate activists took their private jets over to Italy to go to a, you know, billion dollar wedding. Why don't the rules that they espouse to love so much apply to them? No accountability. Everything comes back to the same. No accountability.

Men rape young girls in England. Keir Starmer allows it. No accountability. People loot. They take iPhones. They take sneakers. They take backpacks. They take clothes. And they loot the most expensive stores and they sell it online. Why do they do it? No accountability.

We send humanitarian aid over to the West Bank to feed the people that are stuck in Gaza, held by Hamas, shot if they dare to come and try to get something to feed their children or water, clean water. Why do they do it? No accountability. This is the first thing that I've seen with these three men from these three divisions of our government coming out and saying, we're done and you're done and we're coming for you.

And here's a website where you can send all your evidence. And here's a phone number where you can call and talk to us. We're coming for you. And suddenly everything stopped. Isn't that curious? If we don't start to push our elected representatives to knock off this ridiculous woke response to the amount of utter nonsense that we see in our day-to-day society,

Whether it's these idiots taking over, you know, these universities throughout the United States, especially here in New York, it's ridiculous. And these encampments and then saying, bring us food, we're hungry. No, not bringing you anything. Starve. You are illegally infiltrating a building that does not belong to you. It belongs to every student who paid their tuition this semester who currently can't get in because you said they can't and the school won't take action.

Because they're bored, somebody somewhere said it's okay. And what does that mean? No accountability. We just keep going back to the same thing. It's infuriating. So now here's to my fun topic of the day. Not fun, but I feel like a lot of people could commiserate with this. I was taking Amtrak back home from the city yesterday.

And it's a mob train, right? Everybody's panicking the platforms and the, and the track change and be running around. It's, I don't know what's happening. Okay. So I'm on the train. I sit down, I'm working train is every seat is taken. And the woman across the aisle from me takes out a salad. Now I don't really understand eating a full meal on a, on a train. I just, I don't know. Maybe it's me. I just think it's really odd.

You want to have a drink? You want to have some crackers and some pretzels? Okay, I can get behind that. But I mean, people are pulling out steaks and sandwiches and hoagies. And what in God's great name are you doing? You're sitting on Amtrak or some kind of transit. You've got a bacteria-laden tray that's coming from the back of a seat that God knows how many people sat on it. And you know sure as hell they are not cleaning these seats. But she sat down and she took her food out.

And I have to tell you, I don't know if this was a salad just full of onions. And the whole train car smelled like onions. It's 95 degrees. The air conditioning's not working. And you just took out a bowl full of onions. Why? Why would you do that? Do you not know how bad that smells? And we're all here. We're all trapped in your dinner. And I'm just like, does nobody have any, like, experience?

I would just never do that. Not because I can or I can't, just because it's just not nice. But again, it's that mentality. Well, I can do it, so why won't I? I don't know. Maybe because you have manners. So just when I thought that this was the most horrible thing, the guy in front of her, my hands are gone, takes out a tray of sushi. I'm like, okay.

So you're going to eat raw fish on an Amtrak chain. You haven't washed your hands. Okay, I'm done. I'm tapping out. You know, and I say nothing because there's nothing to say. Like, hey, how you doing? That's disgusting. Why are you doing that? These are the things that mystify me about present society. I just have to wonder why people act like this. I got to tell you, I certainly don't know. It is a mystery to me.

And every day I see something else where I'm like, man, that guy's a real moron or that girl's an idiot. And that's why I always say every day, I said it to the president of my network this morning. I said, I hate everybody equally. They're all out to lunch and I'm done. And on that happy note, this is the Rogue Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin. Please hit subscribe. Listen to me.
