Welcome to It Takes Energy, presented by Energy Transfer, where we talk all things oil and natural gas. Oil and gas drive our economy, ensure our country's security, and open pathways to brighter futures. What do you know about oil and natural gas? You likely associate them with running your car or heating your home. But these two natural resources fuel so much more than that. More than 6,000 consumer products that we rely on every day are made using oil and gas.

Before you even step out the door in the morning, you've already used more products made possible because of oil and gas than you realize. From the toothpaste you brush your teeth with, the soap you washed your face with, and the sheets you slept on. Not to mention your makeup, contact lenses, clothes, and shoes. Oil and gas are vital parts of all these products and so many more.

Look around and you'll see the essential role oil and gas plays in our lives. Our world needs oil and gas, and people rely on us to deliver it. To learn more, visit energytransfer.com. Well, hey, everybody, and welcome to the Rogue Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin, and I just have to tell you, I hate, hate, hate Zoran Mamdani.

And everybody's talking about this guy and they're tiptoeing around. Oh, why? He's so bad. But, you know, we're not sure why. You're not sure why. Why aren't you sure? Well, I'll tell you. He's anti-American. He's anti-police. I guarantee you that this person who's screaming free, free Palestine and talking about how we need to...

look and be like our brothers and sisters in a room full of his Muslim brothers and sisters. This is not a man who is saying, let's bring together all Americans. This is a man who is screaming at Tom Homan, who is fighting for Palestine, who is saying he wants to arrest Netanyahu, who despises Donald Trump. He sounds like any other Antifa member.

And I don't know about you guys, but I don't want any Antifa member being the mayor of anything. I don't want them to be the main dog catcher in the neighborhood, to use an expression that my grandmother used to say.

It's enough. This guy, you know what it is? It's not even that you could talk about all of his radical positions, his radical religious ideals, his radical affiliations. He's just an asshole. I mean, he really is just an asshole. This guy has no career experience. What business has Mamdani run? I mean, I'm serious. What does he run?

You know, Dinkins was a businessman, a bad one, but a businessman. Giuliani was an attorney and a businessman. Mayor Adams was a police officer and then became chief of police and ran the police department. Like all of these people have experience in organizing and leading people. And while we may not always agree with them in every turn, they do have a background that allows them to lead people. Mom Donnie hasn't led anything.

This guy is running around talking trash at every turn. He has nothing to offer us. And you know who's supporting him? A bunch of dumb liberals. They're standing in a room. It's a room full of Karens talking about how they're going to be progressive. You are electing a radical communist Muslim to be the mayor of New York. This is a man who is telling you he wants to tax more of the whiter neighborhoods.

You can't decide how to base your tax structure and your budget on race and say, well, we're going to make government run grocery stores and everybody's going to get free housing and everybody's going to get free health care. And the way that we're going to do it is we're going to tax everybody. And even if their businesses aren't based in New York, we are going to allow them to pay the taxes to be here, even if their HQ is in Texas.

It is insane. You are looking to drive out every aspect of free economic society, of capitalism as it exists. New York is the capital of the United States. There is no way around it. And this is somebody who was palling around with a guy who said that the United States deserved 9-11.

If this is a person who thinks that the United States and New York City deserve 9-11, then he has no business ever being the mayor of New York. And he sure as hell doesn't. I mean, to be perfectly frank with you, he shouldn't even be in the United States of America. He shouldn't be in New York. He shouldn't be in the United States of America. If you think that the nation in which you live deserve to be attacked, then you're in the wrong nation.

That is something that I feel very strongly about. You are in America. We are the freest, most democratic nation in the world. If you don't like it, get the hell out. We've had enough.

want to pay anybody else's child care. I don't want to pay anybody else's welfare. I don't want to pay for anybody else's food stamps. You know why? Because it was meant to be a system that helps you get back on your feet, not as a means of living, as a way of life. It is not this cycle where the more kids you have, the more money you can get out of the system. But guess what? That's what it is.

And it's a vicious cycle because it's created an entire generation of people who are entitled and lazy and get everything for free. But let me tell you something. If I walked into your house and I said, oh, you know what? I want that stereo. Oh, you know what? I want all the food in your refrigerator. Oh, I like your Jordans. You'd be very upset if I took them from you. But that is what you are doing to the American people. You are taking money out of their mouth. It's not that hard.

Now we have all these people who want to elect Mom Donnie. Elect Mom Donnie. What do you think he's going to do for you? Honestly, what is Mom Donnie going to do for you? Go ahead. I'll wait. That's right. You don't have an answer because you don't know because he's never done anything. You know, I have some audio here of him and it's somebody asking him to denounce Sharia law.

So Sharia law is something that is practiced by extremist Muslim clerics and women have to be completely covered head to toe. It's like slit for eyes. And some of them don't even have that. They have the veils that just have sort of like a lighter veil over the eye. I got to tell you one thing. I saw a video today of a woman trying to drive in one of these things. I'm like, oh, come on. You're going to kill somebody.

If you are not able to denounce Sharia law that subjugates women, that believes in child brides, that mutilates children and not mutilates them so that boys can become girls and girls can become boys, but to actually hurt them for the sheer pleasure of hurting them and then watching them get flogged in the street or stoning women because they, you know, weren't with a man the way they were supposed to be with a man or they saw somebody holding hands or whatever it is.

It is beyond. And that's why I'm telling you here in this show, you think he's this progressive? You think he's for trans rights and he's for, you know, mutilation of our children? He is. Absolutely not the way you think. And the only reason that he is supporting some of these progressive and divisive movements is because it's tearing apart the country.

It's an issue that affects I think it's like point oh four percent of the entire United States population and the grooming teachers that we find in our public education system. And that's not all because I know a lot of great teachers. I got to be honest with you. I really have had some great experience, but I've had a lot of negative experiences, too.

where they want to over-sexualize and over-stimulate our kids. And parents are so checked out because they got to work two and three jobs because they got to pay all these taxes because they got a bunch of freeloaders that have learned how to work the system. It's, I got to tell you, it's a very vicious cycle. And so Mamdani has asked, will you denounce Sharia law? Take a listen to what his answer is.

What is Sharia law?

political tradition Donald Trump describes as the enemy within. We came here to remake this state in the image of our people. What is Sharia law? What is Sharia law? I'm asking you. I'm running. You're going to run for mayor. You have to denounce it. What is Sharia law? Free, free Palestine. Free, free Palestine. Free, free Palestine.

Palestine. Thank you so much, brothers and sisters. I hate the water. Thank you. So that is Mamdani leading that crowd of people all in full traditional Muslim garb. That is Mamdani talking to your average Joe who put that up on exit on TikTok. Only thus is his name asking him a question in Manhattan. Will you denounce Sharia law?

We have this Islamic patrol in Queens and Brooklyn. They're already trying to implement Sharia law and Sharia control. And now this guy is unable to denounce it. And he's saying things like, what is Sharia law? I'm like, bro, there is nothing more telling. First of all, everybody knows that you know what it is. So let's start there. But the fact that you're being funny and saying, what is Sharia law? I'm running for the mayor of New York. What is Sharia law?

Your simple answer should be, I denounce Sharia law. Sharia law does not belong in Western society. It is not compatible with democracy. It is not compatible with women's rights. It is not compatible for the way that we live our lives here in the United States. And instead, he laughs off and gets very uncomfortable because he knows he's being filmed. And this whole code of conduct is

that is being interpreted by these Muslim clerics from the Quran, these teachings of the Prophet Muhammad who took a seven-year-old bride, and I use the word bride very loosely and satirically, this guy knows exactly what Sharia law is. And it's happening all over the United States.

And there seems to be this very strange thing where, you know, we're not allowed to talk about it because it could be offensive. It could be, you know, deemed as being, you know, against something. Yes, I am. I am against Sharia law. Hello. Good morning. Knock, knock. I'm against it. I want it out. I don't want my kids to deal with it. I don't want to deal with it. You know what? I don't want to see people doing the call to prayer in the middle of Fifth Avenue. It's Fifth Avenue.

It's for people crossing the street, people riding their bike, and people taking a cab or driving. It's not for 100 Muslims to stop in the middle of the day and pray to Allah.

You want to pray to Allah, go to mosque. See you later. We got plenty of them. You don't need to take over the entire fashion district in New York City. And I know it's happening in other places too. It's happening in Minnesota. It's happening in Michigan. It's happening in Texas. Senator Cornyn, whose daughter is a lobbyist who is working with them.

is going on? How much money are you getting paid that you are able to turn a blind eye to something that could destroy your country and quite frankly is destroying your country? There's assimilation. There are people who acclimate to new places and then there's invasion and infiltration. And to be very clear, we have the latter. We do not have the former. And if we don't stop it now, we're going to be facing a far, far greater adversary.

Because as we saw during COVID, all it took was a little toilet paper to turn people into lunatics. Well, imagine losing all of your freedom. Imagine having the Islamic patrol in this Judeo-Christian nation telling you that you can't go out in what you're wearing and you can't listen to what you're listening to. And you're not allowed to date so-and-so. And you're not allowed to go to this because you're an infidel. You're a kafir. These things are serious issues.

And we have people worried about the dumbest shit. Stop worrying about that stuff. Stop fighting over influencers and stop fighting about the, I don't know, just things that don't matter. You know, we have the women of the view comparing themselves to the struggles of the people in Tehran. You know, get a grip. I really feel strongly. I would love to send every single person

wearing a kefefe and screaming free Palestine and marching in New York City and anywhere else in this country, whether it's the LA riots, whether it's over in Oregon, whether it's in Austin, Texas, all these places where we have these rabid liberals, all of you, please do me a favor and copy Greta Thunberg. Get to Gaza by any means possible.

and go see what you're dealing with. Your ignorance is your bliss. The fact that you are being paid to march, the fact that you are being paid to disrupt, the fact that you are being paid to throw rocks, to throw molotov cocktails, to expose ice, all of these things should be felonies. They should be considered treasonous, and you should be forced to leave the country. I am deeply concerned at the way people like me

who oppose all of these things, I stand with Donald Trump. I stand with our government. I stand with our police, our firefighters, our first responders, for the most part. I've had my run-ins too with a nasty cop or, you know, somebody in the House or Senate who's real. I'm just like, I cannot believe you're a Republican. You got to be kidding me. Republican or Democrat, to be perfectly frank, they're just rude. And it is mind-blowing to me.

that these people are in positions of power. But putting that to the side, the amount of force that is used against a patriot versus someone who is screaming at the top of their lungs that they hate this country is unbelievable. I saw these three kids today and they're being charged with potential felony crimes, 10 years in prison because they burned a, or they took down a pride flag.

And I'm thinking to myself, we have people in the middle of the street burning the American flag, screaming from the top of their lungs, F-bombing America, F the police, F ICE, you know, F Tom Holman, F Trump, whatever it is. And they go free. We have people dropping cars from overpasses, setting them on fire in the middle of major highways. They go free. But three kids grab a pride flag.

a pride flag and they're going to go to jail for 10 years for a hate crime are you out of your mind that's ridiculous we have people getting raped in the middle of the street by illegal migrants murdered in the middle of the street by illegal migrants and nobody reports on it at all but three dumb kids ripped down a pride flag and you're going to send them to jail for 10 years i guess i could understand that if the same thing was happening on the other side of the aisle but it's not

Wouldn't it have been better if they had taken the flag, dropped it over an overpass, and then maybe put a rainbow on top of it and set that shit on fire? Would that have been okay? Would you have been happier then? Because then it would have been more like Antifa? More like your Free Palestine movement? More like your Iranian regime apologists? It's absurd. And people, there's got to be more people like me screaming at the top of their lungs saying enough. Enough.

It's bullshit. You guys are wrong. We're done. It's not who we are. I'm going to fly my American flag. And if you come near it, then I guess I have a right to call the police and you're going to go to jail for 10 years, right? That's a quid pro quo there, right? No, it's not. That's the problem. That's the problem. It's okay to burn my American flag, but I can't take down your pride flag.

And think about that American flag, the blood that has been shed for that flag, the people that have given the ultimate sacrifice compared to the pride flag, which means that people of the same sex are able to be together. I got no problem with gay people. I could care less, actually. I really just don't care. The trans thing, I'm not behind. I'm not behind it at all. The LGBTQ, whatever the rest of the letters are, I don't know what they mean. I don't care what they mean. I have no interest in learning. I really don't.

Live your life, pay your taxes, don't hurt kids, don't hurt animals, we'll all be fine. This whole idea of everybody's got to know everything about everybody all the time, whether it's Snapchat or Snapchat Plus or I'm on Instagram or did you see my reel or I put something up on TikTok? No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't see what you had for breakfast. I didn't. And I love social media for a lot of really cool things and all the amazing things that I can learn about it.

But most of the time, that's not what's up there. It's just people hating on each other. Now, I will say there are a lot of accounts that I follow that I find very informative and they help me like Libs of TikTok is one who obviously has gotten incredibly well known in the last few years. But they do the work. They're out there doing the research. James O'Keefe is another one. That guy busts his ass and he's out there exposing people and they'll say, oh, he's a conspiracy theorist or he's this. Is he? Because he's got the receipts.

He's got the paper trail. He's showing you what's going on. You may not like what he finds, but he's not lying. He's showing you what's happening. He has people on tape, you know, that they got through undercover journalists and they're telling you what they think. And he doesn't get the airplay. Why doesn't he get the airplay? Because it doesn't fit the narrative. And probably because most of the people that own the networks are sitting there going, oh shit, am I next?

Because they allow it to happen. Just like when Caroline Levitt called out from the White House press office today, press briefing today, and she said, oh, you know, we know who CNN is and the same Natasha Bertrand who pushed the Russia hoax is now lying about Iran. And they're trying to figure out who did the leak and so on and so forth. And Pete Hegseth is calling it out as well.

You know, the secretary from the defense secretary, you know, from the Pentagon talking about what is happening and why are people leaking information? I mean, there is a ton going on and it's a lot of pushback against all these people that are lying. And then you come full circle back.

And you have people that are in elected positions. Now just think about this, right? We have mom, Donnie, the lunatic running for mayor of New York. Thank God that I never thought I would say this. I want you to understand. I really didn't, but mayor Adams is going to run again. And in a very, very blue city, like, like New York, if my choice is mom, Donnie or mayor Adams, I'm going for mayor Adams. It's it just is that simple, but there's another mayor. And this woman is,

Her name is Cynthia Lopez, and she is out there asking gangs to please come forward and push back against ICE and help to fight and expose all of these ICE members so that they don't catch illegal immigrants. This is a real thing. I have to tell you, it's one of those things when you hear it, you're like, I can't believe this is real. But it is. Take a listen.

Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles. 18th Street, Florencia. Where's the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory and this is 18th Street and this is Florencia. You guys tag everything up, claiming hood. And now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is...

They're eating the peep out of you. It's everyone else who's not about the gang life that's out there protesting and speaking up. We're out there fighting our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people. Where are you at? Bien calladitos. Bien calladitos. Todos los chulitos. I'm like, dude, they're running amok all up on your streets. On your streets and in your city. And peep.

When the big gang guns come in, nothing but like quiet and we're out here, the regular ones that have never been jumped in, out here calling things out, trying to organize people, trying to do the thing. So don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing. If you're not showing up right now, trying to like help out and organize, I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone trying to claim that this is my block. This was not your block. You weren't even here helping out.

So whoever's the leadership over there, just fucking get your members in order. This is a mayor. This is a United States mayor in California asking the gangs to step up and be true leaders. It's just, it's not even funny. So we have Sharia law Mamdani and then we have crazy Cynthia Lopez calling for the cholos. Really? That's where we're at in 2025?

You see, if you're not a student of history, you become a victim of it because it comes back around. And we have seen all of these things before, but it's much, much worse now because people are brainwashed. They're lazy. They're slaves to their phones and to social media.

And they listen and they watch and they get almost like a zombie-like state where they listen and they follow these terrible groups like the PSLs and the Soros groups and the Antifa groups and the Free Palestine groups. Because they all have this desire to be a part of the next thing. Because they're a part of nothing. And once they become a part of something, they think that that's where they want to be. They have no idea where they should be. So they go the wrong way.

And then when you look at an elected official saying we have to protect our people and we have to make sure that we fight back and we have to protect our territory, your territory. Are we dance battling later? What are you talking about? This is the United States of America. But I have a feeling that Cynthia Lopez does not know this. We have to stop apologizing for stating the facts.

There's got to be a point in time where I can just say, you're nuts, you're racist, you're wrong. It just is what it is. And I feel like that time is now. I do not have any sympathy for a single free Palestine person. I would like to send them all to the West Bank. Go ahead, go. You wouldn't last a minute.

No iPhones, no food, no Uber Eats. You wouldn't have your Netflix. You wouldn't have your time to sit there and vape. There's none of that shit. These people are starving. And even the humanitarian aid that is getting to Gaza, that's coming from Israel and the United States, is being taken by Hamas. And then Hamas is selling it to these poor people that are starving. Can you even imagine? Flour. They're just looking for flour. Water.

for the children to make anything. And they're being sold something that is for free. And you're aligning yourself with Hamas. You're wearing that cafe. Are you kidding me? What a joke. I'm so sick of it all. And if New York city was to ever elect mom, Donnie, we would never come back. And that's the God's honest truth. I want to thank you guys for joining me tonight. I'll be back here tomorrow. I am outraged and annoyed beyond belief today.

It's just, it's a really scary time. We all got to wake up. And I think that we will. I think that the right side of the line is not a party issue. It's just the issues. It's right and it's wrong. Not left and right. Not Dems and Republicans. Just right and wrong. You either love America or you hate it. And you better figure it out now. Because the people that love America have had enough of your shit.

We'll see you tomorrow. Check us out at Linda Mick at the Rogue Recap. Have a great night, everybody. This is an iHeart Podcast.
