Speaker 1

Welcome to the Rogue recap. Hot takes, cold facts and zero respect for the official narrative. Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap rogue style. What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Roague Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin. Happy to be with you here on this Thursday, March nineteenth, watching and very proud of Senator Mike Lee of Utah still holding strong.

Three o'clock in the morning. Last night he was on the Senate floor preaching the good word of you know, constitutionality, the rights of American citizens and that those rights belong to American citizens and American citizens only a novel concept, but one I'm a big fan of, and I'm so grateful to him for really sort of being the champion and the leader through all of this. There are many other Senators that are helping. Senator Whostead came out today

with an id amendment. Senator Schmidt came out with some amendments. Senator Cruz is obviously constitutionally an exceptional arbiter of information on this crisis that we have happening in our nation, which is way too many people who don't belong here

voting in our elections. Because the people that are currently holding office for about eight thousand years are afraid that they're finally going to lose because they're bought and paid for, constituency will no longer be able to scam American taxpayers who foot the bill for their fraud. So that is the Save Act update in a nutshell. Today, I am going to talk to you about common sense. I was having a conversation with a friend today and I'm curious

what you guys think about this. And there's a person who I don't think is necessarily a very good person. And he's one of these people where he's nice like famous people or rich people, you know, but your everyday person he probably doesn't really care all that much about and certainly doesn't lend them the same I don't know regard if you will. So this person just found out that they have cancer and I was talking to another friend about it, and this friend said, oh, did you

hear so and so has cancer? And I said yeah, and they were like, yeah, it's horrible. I'm like, he's still an asshole, Like just because you got cancer doesn't mean you're not an asshole anymore. And everybody's like, oh my god, I can't believe he said that. I'm like, I'm not saying I hope he dies. I'm just saying he's not a nice person. Like I'm not wishing cancer on him. He got cancer. But I just thought it was so interesting how it was like, oh, he has cancer,

so now he's okay. I'm like, no, he's just an asshole with cancer. What I don't know. And I sort of feel this way about a lot of things right

where suddenly because something happens. You know, my husband made a great analogy and he said, yeah, it's like when a teenager that's been involved in like gangs or crime or just always on the wrong side of the law, you know, gets caught in some kind of fight altercation, gets shot dies, and suddenly it's like, oh my poor baby, and it's like, well, yeah, he got shot robbing a store. So it's just this common sense narrative that seems to

elude everyone. Today. I read the story of Sarah Huckabye Sanders. She's the governor of Arkansas. She's the former governor's daughter Mike Huckabee, who now serves as the ambassador to Israel, and she posted this story. I'll read it to you, because I'm sure you haven't heard of it because it's not getting a lot of play. But it's a really sad,

sad state of our affairs in this nation. So she writes on her ex account last week, I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened, and they told us to leave. Now, Arkansasans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn't meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting

Arkansasans up and not tearing others down. Now, if you remember, when she was the Press secretary during President Trump's first term, she was at a restaurant also in Little Rock, Arkansas, and it was called the Red Hen, and they did the same thing. They asked her to leave because she

worked for Trump. That restaurant went out of business. So what I'm trying to understand, and it's something that it troubles me right because I am a deeply passionate person when it comes to my closely held beliefs right God, family, guns, America, and the right to think what I want. To think when I want to think it and not have somebody intrude on those rights. And so what happens is the left preaches that same mantra, but they don't practice it right,

no common sense that it's actually so. It's so entitled the way that the left thinks, they believe that they should be allowed to do whatever they want and then also tell you to do whatever they want, while the right is a more independent thinker, sometimes too much so, which is why Republicans as a whole, as we're looking here in the Save Act, they can't unite. They can't unite for a moment because they want to stand out

and they want to be independent on certain issues. And it's like it's funny like Ram Paul yesterday during the Mark Wayne Mullen testimony as he was sitting before the Senate for his confirmation hearings. You know, Ram Paul was very upset because he's like, you know, Mark Wayne Mullen is a bully, and he thinks you could settle things

with your fists. And I thought to myself, well, there was a time when some things were settled with our fists, and we say, would you like to step outside, and you had an option at that point to kindly step away and say no, thank you, or you could say yes I would. And I'm not saying that that's the way that things should be, but sometimes it is the

way that they are. Again, common sense knowing when to step in and step out, and when situations require certain behaviors, common sense is falling down the steps, into the river and into a horrible death. There are so few people that are able to a problem solve and be able to realize when certain situations weren't either a closer look or maybe no look at all. Maybe sometimes things just

are what they are. There are moments like this when I see a restaurant choose to ask somebody to leave their establishment and treat that person like that, and I think, why why would you come up and do that? Why would you tell them? And by the way, the name of the restaurant, it's called the Croissantier or Croissanterie, and it's also in Little Rock. I don't know what's going on in Little Rock. And the two chefs are Jill

McDonald and Wendy Shay. So Jill and Wendy decided that they wanted to ask the governor of their state, who had decided to come and sit in their restaurant to leave because people that worked in their restaurant were nervous that she was there. Nobody was bothering anybody, Nobody was doing anything. And here's what's interesting, right, what was making you nervous? What was bothering you? What was me making you feel like you couldn't go about your business or

do your job. Typically when people get nervous around police, or they get nervous around people that hold positions of power or in government, it's because they're doing something wrong. You must be doing something wrong if you think somebody's standing there, Like the guy that's providing security detail has two jobs. He has to pay attention to everything that's happening around him, and everything that's happening around the governor, and make sure that he is on high alert so

that God forbids something does happen, he can respond. And these people that work there think that they're watching them pick up plates and bus tables, that's not what's happening. This is not an example of a moment where you're

feeling that maybe you're being ostracized or targeted. Right, it's this mantra that puts common sense to the side and then says, like what we saw Minnesota, I'm allowed to go out, stand in the middle of the street, kick DHS officers, throw things at them, attack them, stand in front of their vehicles, obstruct ongoing investigations, follow police vehicles

as they're going to arrest people. There's no common sense, and so they see these instances and then they relate it to a governor who at that moment wasn't the governor. She was just a mom sitting down with two other moms talking about mom stuff, and they made her leave. Now here's an interesting note. She had been there, she had her meal, she paid for her meal, and then they kicked her out. Why why would you do any of that? Why would you make someone feel like that.

The idea behind having a restaurant is to welcome everyone. Now, if somebody comes in and they're drunk, or somebody comes in and they're causing a scene, or if somebody comes in and they're being I don't know, demor to one of your employees, or they're harassing one of your employees, sure you reserve the right to kick them out. Absolutely.

You're a private business and you can do that. And what's interesting is in this case, because the person that they're kicking out is a conservative, nobody will cover this. You won't see this on the view, you won't see it in People magazine, you won't hear about it on your you know, alphabet city mainstream media, you're not going to hear anything about it. But God forbid that was Jasmine Crockett, God forbid that was Joy Reid. God forbid it was the Clinton's or the Obamas. You would hear

about it for days and days. Why because they can make it into something that it's not. If I own a restaurant and you come in and I'm a conservative and you're a Democrat, and I'm like, you know what, I don't want to see your face in my restaurant. I can do one of two things. I can serve you a bit beautiful meal and you'll reluctantly have to tell me how wonderful it is, even though you're a begrudgingly angry Democrat who doesn't want to say it. Or I can tell you to get out. What do you

think the smarter thing is to do. You're in business, especially the restaurant business. You are in business to feed people and make money. I mean, this is your whole reason for cooking and opening up a place to eat. And the idea that you would say, I don't like the governor, I don't want to serve them, but that's not what happened. They did serve her, then they decided to treat her like shit. So we go into this other issue of looking around and watching things that are

happening and saying that feels wrong. For example, if we look at last week, we see this asshole mayor who I will tell you right now, I do not believe he won the race for mayor. I do believe that there were a lot of people who lied. I believe there were a lot of people who voted who shouldn't have voted. They had people coming out of the voting boosts the day of the election saying I voted seven

times today. You know, these are just stupid people that can get away with anything because it's New York and it's a hot mess. And if you've been in New York lately, you have seen how dirty, how unkept, the trash, the homelessness, the open air drug use. It is disgusting. The idea that Holkl and Mom Donnie think for one second people are going to stay. They have lost their mind.

And now through certain parts of New York you are hearing the call to prayer five times a day, just like they do in Minnesota, just like they do in Michigan, and now just like they're doing in New York. And I'm curious if you think for one second if that was a Hasidic group that said, yes, we want to have prayer in the middle of Times Square. We have elected a Jewish mayor, and now we will have Sabbath. So yes, the mayor's office will be closed most you know,

Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. I mean, it would be the talk of the time. Be like, listen, separation of church and state exists for a reason, common sense. But common sense goes out the window because now common sense is competing with Islamophobia. So now if you say to somebody, oh, I would really appreciate it if we didn't sit on the floor and Gracie mansion and eat with our hands,

because that's not what we do in America. In America, we sit at tables in chairs, and we use a fork and a knife, and that is how we proceed with our meals. But because our mayor is you gond In and god knows what else, they're saying, Oh no, this is okay, We're going to celebrate this. How about you celebrate this in your own private residence. Gracy Mansion is the police for you to live while you're mayor, but it has nothing to do with you actually having

meals on the floor of Gracie Mansion. That is taking a place that serves the people of New York. And the people of New York are many, many different things. They're Christians, they're Jewish, they're Orthodox Jewish. We have Orthodox Greeks, we have Roman Orthodox, we have Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs. It's absurd that this is what we are turning Gracie Mansion into. And the reason that it is happening was Zohramndani is because of the fact that people are afraid to say,

excuse me, this is a Judeo Christian nation. We are founded and rooted in those principles. If you would like to do your call to prayer, if you would like to get out your prayer rug and lay down on the ground, if you would like to eat with your hands, you can do that in a mosque or in the privacy of your home. I would not expect, even though we are a Judeo Christian nation, to hear church bells all throughout the city all day long. I wouldn't because

New York is a melting pot. But unfortunately, common sense has gone out the window. And now in addition to that, they've raised the taxes, and they're raising taxes in almost every blue state across the country. Well why is that, Well, that's because they've decided that their common sense is less valuable than what the cost is for all the programs that they want to do. So as they begin to realize that they can't afford to do what they said they were going to do, they're like, Okay, well, we're

just going to keep taxing people. We're going to tax them so much. Guess what's going to happen. They're going to go to another state. So now you are seeing a mass exodus of very wealthy business people, very wealthy people who have maybe inherited things, and they're all leaving and they're going to red states so that they can live a life where they can honestly be able to enjoy the money that they've worked so hard for common sense.

So now what happens when all that money leaves the budgets of these blue states and all they're left with a backheads illegal immigrants and people who are living off of the system and have been living off of the system for their entire lives. Why is that? Why would they want to do that? Does it make any sense? No, it's so that they can say it out loud, so they can say that they're doing something we believe in. DEI. What is DEI? I know what it is. It's called racism.

It's hiring someone based on the way that they look. It's not a meritocracy. It's not saying this is the best person for the job. And it's also not judging somebody when they've done something wrong. This whole idea that we have cashless bail, or this whole idea that we are saying to people, well, we know that you went into a Texas school with a machine gun, but we're going to let you out within twenty four hours. I'm sorry,

why are we doing that. We have a female judge who lets out this person in a Texas school and says, no, I don't think we need to do that. That doesn't make any sense. So we're just gonna let that person out and yeah, sorry, not sorry. So now if your child goes to that school, how are you feeling right now? Do you think that that they're safe? Do you think this is a good idea? And not to mention the fact it was only on March first that we had a mass shooter in Austin, Texas who was from Senegal.

He was a West African migrant who shot everybody up, screaming that he was property of Allah and screaming a Lahu akbar. And now here we are, we're like, it's not even a month, it's like two and a half weeks, and it's like, oh okay, So now we have this guy walking into a Texas school and we have a judge releasing him in under twenty four hours. Do we not care about the children? Do we not care about

what's really happening? Where is the common sense? If that was your child, if that was your child's school, wouldn't you want it to be handled differently? This is the stuff that I don't understand. If you look at the attacks that happen, like I said a few podcasts ago, you're looking at all of these people that are committing these crimes, they are not white people. They are illegal immigrants. They're naturalized citizens because they came in under Biden, and

they let it go. It doesn't make any sense. I do not understand why on earth you would let this personnel. And just as a point of note, the guy who came to Zwink Elementary and climb Texas with a gun, he was an Iraqi national. The judge is a person of color. I have no idea what she is. She lets him go free. So now a guy who went to an elementary school with a gun posted seventy five thousand dollars to get out, is now on the street. Why why do you want to do this? No common sense?

The stories like this go on and on and on, and at some point you have to say enough. Another common sense moment. We look at Lisa Murkowski. She's a senator from Alaska. She consistently votes with Democrats. Common sense would tell me that she is a Democrat, which is fine, Go be a Democrat. Stop running as a Republican. What are we doing? And then you have people who are coming out talking about climate change. Have you not realized that climate change is the biggest hoax in the world.

Do you not understand that there is no science that backs this. Don't you get The reason why they changed the phrase from global warming to climate change was because global warming no no longer fit what was actually happening. It no longer made sense. Nothing on the agenda was fitting with global warming, sure as hell was fitting with climate change though, right because the weather was changing. Common sense.

I could go on and on about these issues. Every single day we see things happening and we have a choice. We have a choice to make a common sense decision. And say, I don't think that we should give a nine year old the choice of taking transgender medicine, doping their minds up with ssriyes, and then potentially having life altering surgeries before the age of ten. Call me crazy, common sense. I have a ten year old from day to day he's not sure how he feels about chicken nuggets.

Now you're going to tell me he has a right to make a decision that he will never be able to undo for the rest of his life. You're an asshole, You're a liar. No common sense, And when we have one hundred senators and only a handful of them have the gumption to get up there and actually defend a bill that says American citizens should vote in American elections.

And that's it. And this is a difficult concept that we have to debate for days and days and days on end, and then they're worried because, now, guess what tomorrow is. It's Friday. That's typically the travel day for our less than eager senators who like to take long weekends, because you know, they travel on a Friday, they travel on a Monday, They're back home Saturday, Sunday. They only work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. They'll tell you that they're

back in their home districts doing work. But I would be hard pressed to see any of them doing much of anything unless they're campaigning to get back in office. Then they're everywhere. They're kissing babies and eating eggs at diners and all the other bullshit they do. But the common sense idea that you would continue to work through the current bill that you're trying to pass, or that you're trying to you would have to work through the weekend.

How many American people have to work the weekend. How many times have you gotten called in on a weekend. How many times have you had to stay late at the office or at your job, whatever it is, many many times? How many times have you worked double shifts? These people it's been so long since they've had to work, they don't even know the half of it. That's why they don't understand why we're so pissed off. That's why

they don't understand how we're really feeling. And while we're upset, and while we're you know, freaking out about what's happening, and that we have to use our license to go and vote and prove that we're an American citizen. Just remember that the IRGC today executed a nineteen year old championship wrestler because he was one of the people that stood up and protested against the clerics and the regime. You think you got it tough here, I'll tell you what.

You better use your common sense and be grateful for the nation that you have and defend it. Because you have no idea what it is you've lost until you've lost it. Don't be that person. Have common sense, and if you do have it, remind everybody around you a little bit of what it is. Because I'll tell you what my husband sent me a video last night. It was a Big Wheels commercial from back in the day, and I watched it and I thought, my god, I wish that I was in that commercial right now. Those

kids look so genuinely happy. No computers, no phones, no tablets, no social media, no digital you know, branding for the rest of your life, because you know, the internet does not forget these kids. Everything they're doing, everybody's going to know about it forever. I feel so grateful that I don't have that, and I'm so sad for my kids that they're going to all have that and be like, oh, I can't believe I posted that. Oh I can't believe

I wore that. At least we could look at them in pictures and then close the album and put it away. It's just a sad state of affairs because we've lost all of our common sense. And that is the theme of today's show. I hope you guys are doing good. Praying for our troops, Praying for everybody to return safely home, Praying for this poor family that lost their son in Barcelona and they found him in the water today. I can't even imagine. This family has to be just completely

torn up. I'll have them in my prayer tonight. I hope you do too. Please follow us online at Lindamick at Rogue Recap rogue recap dot com. We will see you guys tomorrow. Good Night, everybody,
