MERITOCRACY MATTERS MORE THAN EVER IN POLITICS & SOCIETY · The Rogue Recap with Lynda

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rogue Recap.
0:03
Speaker 2: Hot takes, cold facts, and zero respect for the official narrative.
0:08
Speaker 2: Sit back, roll your eyes, and let's recap rogue style.
0:14
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody.
0:15
Speaker 3: This is Linda, a host of the Rogue Recap, excited
0:18
Speaker 3: to be with you. It is Wednesday, August nineteenth, around
0:21
Speaker 3: seven o'clock when I'm recording this, and I want to
0:25
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about some folks that are running
0:29
Speaker 3: for office here in the United States of America, and
0:34
Speaker 3: it is it's shocking. Last night we had another DSA
0:39
Speaker 3: candidate when in Florida, and I have to say, I
0:45
Speaker 3: am I'm really not very familiar with this candidate. Her
0:49
Speaker 3: name is Angie Nixon, and she is radical, is all
0:56
Speaker 3: get out black woman.
1:00
Speaker 1: About kids.
1:00
Speaker 3: She's mom, she was in the Florida State House as
1:05
Speaker 3: a representative, and she's really poorly educated about how things work.
1:12
Speaker 3: Have a few cuts of her here today and I'm
1:16
Speaker 3: going to play some of them, and I obviously want
1:18
Speaker 3: to talk to you guys about them. But I am
1:21
Speaker 3: afraid of what people think normal is. I understand that
1:27
Speaker 3: we want to be individuals and we want to be unique,
1:30
Speaker 3: and we want to carry our own message. And you know,
1:34
Speaker 3: walk to the beat of our own drum, you know,
1:36
Speaker 3: whatever stupid cliche phrase.
1:39
Speaker 1: You want to use.
1:40
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, but this is some really strange stuff.
1:44
Speaker 1: You know.
1:44
Speaker 3: This is a woman who in the middle of the
1:48
Speaker 3: Florida House a representative started screaming through the house with
1:53
Speaker 3: a bullhorn. And I'm not even gonna play it because
1:55
Speaker 3: it doesn't really translate well in my opinion on radio
1:59
Speaker 3: and podcasting. But she's running through and she's screaming that
2:03
Speaker 3: she won't be silenced, and you know, the things that
2:05
Speaker 3: people are doing are against the Constitution, and it's like
2:09
Speaker 3: she's not making any sense.
2:10
Speaker 1: She's just making a scene.
2:13
Speaker 3: And it's it's this whole idea of like, well, I'll
2:16
Speaker 3: make a scene and people are filming it on their phones,
2:19
Speaker 3: and I'll go viral for looking like I'm standing up
2:22
Speaker 3: for those who can't stand up for themselves, right, Because
2:25
Speaker 3: that's sort of the mantra that we've been going with
2:27
Speaker 3: for the past couple of decades, is that people who
2:30
Speaker 3: speak out and they're wildly uneducated and incredibly misinformed and
2:37
Speaker 3: literally are the loudest person in the room for no
2:39
Speaker 3: other reason than to just be the loudest person in
2:41
Speaker 3: the room, you know, hat tipped to AOC. She's a
2:45
Speaker 3: perfect example. Iljan Omar another example, Ayana Presley, another example,
2:51
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders another example. Abdul sayed another example, Like the
2:56
Speaker 3: list goes on and on and on, and they'll say, oh,
3:00
Speaker 3: so you can't attack these people because they're people of color.
3:03
Speaker 3: I could give a shit less what color they are.
3:05
Speaker 3: They're really annoying, stupid people and they can't be in
3:08
Speaker 3: positions of power. And unfortunately, because people have forgotten the meritocracy.
3:14
Speaker 3: And I'm going to be talking about meritocracy a lot,
3:17
Speaker 3: because I'm starting to realize that a big part of
3:21
Speaker 3: where we are right now and why we're here is
3:25
Speaker 3: because people are actually stupid and ignorant. Not saying that
3:29
Speaker 3: as an insult, saying that is a fact, right Like, truly,
3:32
Speaker 3: in the most honest sense of the word ignorant, you
3:36
Speaker 3: are unaware of what so and said and what not means.
3:40
Speaker 3: You're literally just spouting talking points that somebody else said
3:44
Speaker 3: to you, and you're actually too lazy to do your
3:48
Speaker 3: own work to look into what that next thing would be,
3:53
Speaker 3: to find out why you feel the way you do,
3:56
Speaker 3: or why you act the way you do, or why
3:58
Speaker 3: you're saying that people should do something they're doing when
4:01
Speaker 3: in actuality, you actually don't know why. You're just saying
4:05
Speaker 3: whatever your campaign manager told you to say because you
4:08
Speaker 3: checked a box for them, and that should frighten everybody.
4:12
Speaker 3: So we're going to start out with Angie Nixon. We're
4:15
Speaker 3: going to move into Karen Bass. Karen Bass has made
4:19
Speaker 3: this comment, and it's funny. I was watching the video
4:22
Speaker 3: of her making it on x She's reading from a script,
4:26
Speaker 3: So again, this harkens back to people being stupid, which
4:29
Speaker 3: I just talked about a moment ago. She's reading from
4:32
Speaker 3: a script that she wants people to donate to her
4:35
Speaker 3: campaign and that the city of Los Angeles is going
4:40
Speaker 3: to match donations six to one. Now, from everything I've
4:46
Speaker 3: ever done in my career in politics, and I've been
4:48
Speaker 3: in politics for a long time, the campaign is always
4:52
Speaker 3: an independent, siloed entity from anything you're already doing in
4:57
Speaker 3: public life. So if you're a senator, if you're congressman,
5:00
Speaker 3: if you're a governor and you're running for another office,
5:04
Speaker 3: that entire campaign is handled by independent money, independent staff,
5:09
Speaker 3: independent website. I mean, you are completely and totally separate
5:13
Speaker 3: from your role in whatever you're doing. And most people,
5:16
Speaker 3: when they start doing that, they give up their other
5:19
Speaker 3: role if they do the right thing. A lot of
5:21
Speaker 3: people don't because they're not sure if they're going to
5:22
Speaker 3: win and they still want to keep the role they're
5:24
Speaker 3: in and blah blah blah blah blah, okay, fine. Karen
5:27
Speaker 3: Bess is one such person. She is currently the mayor.
5:31
Speaker 3: So if you're the mayor and you're running to be
5:33
Speaker 3: mayor again, and you're telling the people that are voting
5:37
Speaker 3: for you that if they donate five bucks that the
5:40
Speaker 3: city is then going to not even triple, they're gonna
5:44
Speaker 3: they're multiply it by five or things. She said six
5:47
Speaker 3: to one. I have to look at the copy here,
5:49
Speaker 3: but yes, six to one. So you donate five bucks
5:52
Speaker 3: and you get thirty What how's that?
5:54
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not legal, guys, it's not legal. Period.
5:58
Speaker 1: So you know, let's start with her because I on
6:00
Speaker 1: a tangent about her.
6:01
Speaker 3: Take a listen, this is Karen Bass encouraging people to
6:04
Speaker 3: donate because the City of Los Angeles is gonna go
6:09
Speaker 3: six to one on any money that they donate.
6:11
Speaker 2: Your donation to our campaign is more critical right now
6:15
Speaker 2: than ever before. Let me explain. Thanks to LA's Supermatch Program,
6:21
Speaker 2: every qualified donation from Los Angeles residents is match six
6:25
Speaker 2: to one by the city. But after the primary, we
6:28
Speaker 2: had to start over from scratch. So we need you
6:31
Speaker 2: to rush your matching donation right now to help fuel
6:35
Speaker 2: this campaign. Chip in five dollars right now, and the
6:38
Speaker 2: city turns it into thirty five. Chip in twenty five
6:41
Speaker 2: dollars right now, and the city turns it into one
6:44
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five dollars. Make your matching donation today.
6:48
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
6:51
Speaker 3: So I've looked up what the Los Angeles Supermatch Program
6:55
Speaker 3: is and this is what it says. You tell me
6:58
Speaker 3: if this doesn't sound like something super sketchy. Los Angeles
7:02
Speaker 3: Super Match Program is a public campaign financing system that
7:07
Speaker 3: multiplies small dollar donations from city residents six to one
7:13
Speaker 3: using municipal taxpayer funds. Let me repeat that, Los Angeles
7:19
Speaker 3: Supermatch Program is a public campaign financing system that multiplies
7:24
Speaker 3: small dollar donations from city residents six to one using
7:30
Speaker 3: municipal taxpayer funds.
7:33
Speaker 1: So you're using.
7:35
Speaker 3: Taxpayer dollars and it's not indicated like these are Democrat taxpayers.
7:41
Speaker 3: These are taxpayers that have previously donated to Karen Bass.
7:44
Speaker 3: These are taxpayers that have said that they're okay with
7:48
Speaker 3: their taxpayer dollars going towards the elevation of a certain
7:52
Speaker 3: candidate over I mean.
7:54
Speaker 1: It says here that the public matching.
7:56
Speaker 3: Funds have existed in Los Angeles since nineteen ninety and
7:59
Speaker 3: the six to one match ratio was implemented in twenty nineteen.
8:04
Speaker 1: That's not a surprise under Newsome.
8:06
Speaker 3: I mean, it feels wrong, right. It's not like this
8:09
Speaker 3: is happening for every other candidate.
8:12
Speaker 1: It's not like.
8:13
Speaker 3: This is happening for the other people that are running
8:16
Speaker 3: for the role. It's just her. I just I don't know.
8:20
Speaker 3: It feels really strange to me, guys, and I think
8:22
Speaker 3: what we've learned of late is that there is a
8:26
Speaker 3: lot going on in.
8:28
Speaker 1: These blue cities and states that are completely unknown.
8:32
Speaker 3: There's so much fraud, whether it's medicaid fraud, welfare fraud,
8:37
Speaker 3: marriage fraud, immigration fraud, subcity fraud, COVID fraud, PPE fraud.
8:43
Speaker 3: It's just people lying on paperwork getting pushed through the
8:48
Speaker 3: system by other people who are there from eight to
8:51
Speaker 3: four or nine to five, can give a shit less
8:53
Speaker 3: about what they do.
8:54
Speaker 1: And don't check.
8:55
Speaker 3: It just feels like so many programs have been initiated
9:01
Speaker 3: and they use words like public financing through municipal taxpayer
9:06
Speaker 3: dollars and you think, oh, yeah, that sounds legit.
9:09
Speaker 1: It's not legit.
9:10
Speaker 3: It's actually completely fraudulent. Why should taxpayer dollars go towards
9:15
Speaker 3: elevating any candidate over another who's running for the very
9:19
Speaker 3: office that the taxpayers are going to be under. You
9:22
Speaker 3: would think that taxpayer dollars would be independent of supporting
9:26
Speaker 3: one candidate over another in a fair and free election,
9:28
Speaker 3: But I guess not. I mean, it's la what do
9:31
Speaker 3: I expect. I'm sure it happens in other cities and
9:33
Speaker 3: states as well, because people aren't paying attention because, like
9:35
Speaker 3: I said the other day, we forgot what we forgot
9:38
Speaker 3: because there's so much wrong. That's the other issue. There's
9:42
Speaker 3: so much wrong. People are doing wild and crazy shit
9:48
Speaker 3: every day.
9:49
Speaker 1: And I'm going to get to that in a second.
9:50
Speaker 3: I'm going to get to like the whole I'm really
9:53
Speaker 3: worried about the state of humanity kind of thing, Like
9:57
Speaker 3: I'm worried, like I played that one and yesterday, who
10:01
Speaker 3: thinks that a maga hat is more frightening than someone
10:05
Speaker 3: screaming a lot who walkbar running towards them. Just really
10:09
Speaker 3: hold on to that for a minute. You know, the
10:11
Speaker 3: amount of crime committed against humanity overwhelmingly is by radical terrorists,
10:21
Speaker 3: typically Islamic terrorists that come to cities, states, countries that
10:27
Speaker 3: are not Islamic followers, with the goal to conquer and dominate.
10:31
Speaker 3: And if you speak to any of their clerics, or
10:34
Speaker 3: you listen to any of the information taught in the madrasas,
10:37
Speaker 3: if you look at the way that they take over
10:39
Speaker 3: every community that they move into as opposed to becoming
10:42
Speaker 3: a part of a community, this isn't a hard concept.
10:45
Speaker 3: But I'm not going down that road right now. I'm
10:48
Speaker 3: just saying that there just really seems to be very
10:53
Speaker 3: odd and unpredictable si up happening on the daily where
10:58
Speaker 3: people are just wild'ing out for no reason, to a
11:02
Speaker 3: point where you really look at people and you say, sincerely.
11:04
Speaker 1: Are you all right? Like are you good?
11:06
Speaker 3: Because I'm feeling like you're not good. I'm feeling like
11:09
Speaker 3: maybe you belong in a rubber room for like ever,
11:11
Speaker 3: or at least till we get this out of your system.
11:13
Speaker 1: I don't know.
11:14
Speaker 3: Anyways, we'll come back to that. So Angie Nixon, Florida
11:17
Speaker 3: State Rep. Just won the primary to be the Democrat
11:21
Speaker 3: Senate nominee for the general election now on November third,
11:26
Speaker 3: and she'll be running against the current incumbent, Ashley Moody,
11:30
Speaker 3: who took over for Marco Rubio when he took the
11:33
Speaker 3: position with the White House Administration in the State Department
11:36
Speaker 3: as a Secretary of State. And Ashley Moody's great, I mean,
11:39
Speaker 3: she did a great job. She was formerly the Attorney
11:41
Speaker 3: General in the state of Florida. She's fantastic, no nonsense,
11:44
Speaker 3: kind of gal, really just kind of at it. Husband
11:46
Speaker 3: as an FBI officer, you know, just a really really
11:50
Speaker 3: good law abiding family. These are people who live their
11:54
Speaker 3: lives according to the rule of law.
11:57
Speaker 1: They uphold the law, they enforced the law, and.
11:59
Speaker 3: They understand it. So you know, from what I've seen
12:02
Speaker 3: of Ashley Moody, it's really not a contest be heurt
12:05
Speaker 3: between her and Angie Nixon. And I think these next
12:08
Speaker 3: three cuts will enlighten you as to the upcoming race
12:13
Speaker 3: as we head now into these final few months up.
12:15
Speaker 3: We've got about seventy six days now until November three.
12:19
Speaker 3: Here's Angie Nixon, Number one.
12:22
Speaker 4: You want medicare for all and for universal childcare and
12:25
Speaker 4: pre K. How are you suggesting taxpayers pay for that? Yeah,
12:30
Speaker 4: for sure, So thank you for that question. I have
12:33
Speaker 4: been traveling all across the state of Florida having conversations
12:36
Speaker 4: with folks.
12:37
Speaker 1: And what is evidence is.
12:40
Speaker 4: That everyone wants the same things, right to be healthy, prosperous,
12:44
Speaker 4: and save and a lot of folks it crosses party
12:48
Speaker 4: lines as it relates to universal childcare and medicare for all,
12:53
Speaker 4: and how do we pay for that? Actually, Medicare for all,
12:56
Speaker 4: We're already spending the amount we would be paying for
12:59
Speaker 4: Medicare for all right now, even while folks are still
13:02
Speaker 4: paying for copays and deductibles and co insurance.
13:08
Speaker 3: So I don't know about you, but I didn't hear
13:10
Speaker 3: an answer there. She literally could not answer that question.
13:13
Speaker 3: The question was how do you pay for Medicare for all?
13:18
Speaker 3: Because you can't give an answer to that question unless
13:22
Speaker 3: you are able to be honest about the fact that
13:26
Speaker 3: you are actually unable to do that, because, first of all,
13:30
Speaker 3: we have to determine the word all, which, since we
13:33
Speaker 3: in this society are unable to determine what a woman
13:36
Speaker 3: is I can't even imagine how they would tackle the
13:39
Speaker 3: word all, because it's inclusive, right, God forbid, we figure
13:43
Speaker 3: out what everybody is and where everybody goes. But she
13:47
Speaker 3: is literally just saying, like, well, we're already paying for
13:51
Speaker 3: Medicare for all, and like we're already paying it, and
13:54
Speaker 3: you know, and then we have deductibles and you know,
13:56
Speaker 3: we have those two. What are you saying? That's actually
14:01
Speaker 3: not what's happening. Medicare for all is not a real thing.
14:04
Speaker 3: And the reason why is because we have thirty million
14:06
Speaker 3: people if not more, living off of the system, burdening
14:11
Speaker 3: the healthcare system completely, robbing it blind. And then we
14:15
Speaker 3: have a much much smaller portion of people that are
14:19
Speaker 3: feeding into the system. They are paying the taxes, and
14:23
Speaker 3: they pay the largest portions of the taxes. I mean,
14:25
Speaker 3: those people that are paying fifty to sixty to ninety
14:27
Speaker 3: percent of their overall income because they're trying to do
14:30
Speaker 3: everything that they can to get some money home for
14:33
Speaker 3: their own families, but they're taxed out the yin yang
14:35
Speaker 3: for being successful. That's essentially what happens now. You know,
14:39
Speaker 3: in the Land of the Free, where capitalism is supposed
14:43
Speaker 3: to be that we the way that we live so
14:44
Speaker 3: that we have a free and fair society where people
14:46
Speaker 3: are allowed to achieve the American dream of being successful,
14:50
Speaker 3: paying for your own family and working hard. These people
14:54
Speaker 3: come in and they say, well, actually, we want to
14:55
Speaker 3: tax you, and then we want to tax the taxes
14:57
Speaker 3: that we've taxed, and then we want to tax you
14:59
Speaker 3: when you die, and then we want to tax some
15:01
Speaker 3: money that we already tax when you leave it to
15:03
Speaker 3: your errors. I mean, it's so it's so egregious.
15:07
Speaker 1: But you talk to.
15:08
Speaker 3: Someone like Angie Nixon, she doesn't know any of this stuff.
15:11
Speaker 3: That's clear because the real answer would say, well, first,
15:14
Speaker 3: we're going to have to do a detailed analysis of
15:17
Speaker 3: the current Medicare system to truly understand who is involved,
15:21
Speaker 3: who is already on Medicare, and then figure out what
15:24
Speaker 3: we have left in the budget and who we can cover,
15:27
Speaker 3: and how we're going to change the pay scale of
15:29
Speaker 3: what we do with our partners across all of these
15:32
Speaker 3: various offices throughout the country. So we have to take
15:36
Speaker 3: a deep dive and look at this. Oh and then
15:38
Speaker 3: once I do that deep dive, I'm going to find
15:40
Speaker 3: out that there's no way for me to offer Medicare
15:43
Speaker 3: for all because there's far too many people that shouldn't
15:46
Speaker 3: be on it that are on it.
15:47
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you talk to people. I
15:49
Speaker 1: tell this story a lot, and it's a true story.
15:51
Speaker 3: But I had a friend of a family, you know,
15:54
Speaker 3: like a family member, but like they were a friend,
15:56
Speaker 3: and she was on welfare, and she was an old person,
16:00
Speaker 3: and I said, how come you're own welfare? Like you're good,
16:03
Speaker 3: like you could work. You could have worked your whole life.
16:06
Speaker 3: And she was like, yeah, but you know, I got
16:08
Speaker 3: divorced and I had the kids, and I didn't have
16:10
Speaker 3: enough money, and so I went into you know, government housing,
16:13
Speaker 3: and that was great because I didn't have to pay
16:14
Speaker 3: for it, and then you know, the kids were in
16:16
Speaker 3: public schools, so don't have to pay for it. And
16:18
Speaker 3: then I was getting food stamps so I didn't have
16:20
Speaker 3: to pay for it. And if I went to work
16:22
Speaker 3: and I tried to earn any of that money, they
16:24
Speaker 3: would have taken away my free money. And I was like,
16:27
Speaker 3: what's free money. She's like, you know, like food stamps
16:31
Speaker 3: and welfare checks and all that stuff, like you know,
16:33
Speaker 3: it's all free. I'm like, it's not free. It's all
16:35
Speaker 3: the other people that are working, paying into the system
16:38
Speaker 3: so that you can live off of what they do
16:40
Speaker 3: and how they work. Don't you want to be a
16:43
Speaker 3: part of a working society and make money and do
16:46
Speaker 3: all the things, Like, isn't that where you want to be?
16:49
Speaker 3: She was like, well, no, because if I work too much,
16:51
Speaker 3: I'm going to make too much money, They're going to
16:52
Speaker 3: take away all my benefits. And I was like, oh
16:55
Speaker 3: my god, okay, I mean that is the current mindset
17:00
Speaker 3: of the dependent society, right, like government says, let me
17:04
Speaker 3: help you. Because if you're leaning on the government, guess
17:07
Speaker 3: who you're not leaning on yourself. You're not independent. You're
17:11
Speaker 3: not working on you. You're not working on anything that
17:14
Speaker 3: has to do with growing you for who you are.
17:17
Speaker 3: We're getting ahead any of that. It is so frightening
17:21
Speaker 3: to me that people believe that it's free money. How
17:25
Speaker 3: many times have you heard that? And it's funny, you know,
17:28
Speaker 3: I saw this. I'm actually gonna flip this in really
17:30
Speaker 3: quick here. This isn't a piece of audio, but it
17:32
Speaker 3: was something that I read today and I thought it
17:35
Speaker 3: was so great. This guy put it up on X.
17:39
Speaker 3: You guys know how much I love X and He
17:41
Speaker 3: was talking about his son, who teaches ninth grade, and
17:46
Speaker 3: his name is Georgia red Clay. The handle is legal
17:49
Speaker 3: Legal fifty two. I just love everything about this, but
17:52
Speaker 3: I'm going to read this to you. It's pretty great.
17:54
Speaker 1: He says.
17:55
Speaker 3: My son is a ninth grade teacher, and today he
17:57
Speaker 3: gave his students three options for their grades for the semester.
18:01
Speaker 3: The first option he called capitalism. Each kid gets whatever
18:05
Speaker 3: grade they earn based on effort and merit. They are
18:08
Speaker 3: all taught and tested in the same manner.
18:11
Speaker 5: Okay.
18:12
Speaker 3: The second option was socialism. They are all taught and
18:15
Speaker 3: tested in the same manner. All the grades are gathered
18:18
Speaker 3: at the end, and then he takes points away from
18:20
Speaker 3: the achieving students and gives them to the ones who
18:22
Speaker 3: are struggling to lift them up, bringing the achieving student
18:24
Speaker 3: grades down. And the third option was communism. He figures
18:28
Speaker 3: out what each kid is capable of, makes them work
18:31
Speaker 3: according to the ability level.
18:33
Speaker 1: He determines.
18:34
Speaker 3: Some get easy classes and tests, others get very difficult ones,
18:37
Speaker 3: and at the end he hands out the exact same
18:39
Speaker 3: grade to everybody, no matter how they performed. So of
18:43
Speaker 3: course everybody starts freaking out. They're like, oh my god,
18:46
Speaker 3: that's amazing. Some people are like, how can your son
18:47
Speaker 3: teach this? Blah blah blah, And so they said they
18:51
Speaker 3: were trying to figure out, like, you know, so what
18:53
Speaker 3: was the answer, Like what did the kids pick? And
18:56
Speaker 3: this one guy writes and he says, if I know, kids,
19:00
Speaker 3: the ones that didn't want to do anything picked socialism
19:03
Speaker 3: and communism, and every kid that works hard voted for capitalism.
19:05
Speaker 3: And the father said, you're exactly right. So even then,
19:10
Speaker 3: this idea, right, like, these kids are in ninth grade,
19:14
Speaker 3: they're blessed to actually get a conservative teacher that is
19:16
Speaker 3: putting forth their ideas and the agendas of those ideas
19:19
Speaker 3: so that they can make an informed decision, right, Because
19:21
Speaker 3: that's what we come back to from the very beginning
19:23
Speaker 3: of the show today is like people are actually ignorant.
19:26
Speaker 3: They don't even know what they're talking about, but.
19:28
Speaker 1: They'll talk anyway.
19:30
Speaker 3: And everybody's afraid to say I don't know, which is
19:32
Speaker 3: another massive problem. But again, it's this idea of Karen
19:37
Speaker 3: basketting six to one. Nobody's raising an eyebround, nobody thinks
19:40
Speaker 3: that's weird. This woman can't, you know, finish the sentence
19:45
Speaker 3: cannot answer the question about how she's going to pay
19:48
Speaker 3: for Medicare for all.
19:48
Speaker 1: Because she doesn't know.
19:50
Speaker 3: She actually doesn't know, and she can't say she doesn't
19:53
Speaker 3: know because she's going around saying she's going to do it.
19:56
Speaker 3: So if you're saying you're going to do it, then
19:58
Speaker 3: the idea is that you probably should have. I've had
20:00
Speaker 3: a little bit of thought process into saying, Hey, I'm
20:02
Speaker 3: gonna do this, like I'm gonna make you a chocolate
20:05
Speaker 3: cake for your birthday. Well, if you say that, then
20:08
Speaker 3: I would think that the onus is on you to
20:09
Speaker 3: make that cake. And then hopefully you have a recipe
20:12
Speaker 3: and you know how to make a cake. You know,
20:14
Speaker 3: this one has never made a chocolate cake, clearly, So okay,
20:17
Speaker 3: this is Angie Nixon talking about drag shows for kids.
20:25
Speaker 6: Yes, I don't understand, Like there's no sexualization at a
20:30
Speaker 6: drag show. It's just people dressing up and singing and performing.
20:33
Speaker 6: I've taken my children to drag shows.
20:37
Speaker 7: And it's fun, it's entertainment, it's wholesome entertainment, and it's
20:41
Speaker 7: nothing wrong.
20:42
Speaker 8: It's just.
20:44
Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't get it. I don't get it.
20:49
Speaker 1: So she literally just.
20:51
Speaker 3: Said that drag shows there's nothing sexual going on.
20:57
Speaker 1: Ma'am.
20:58
Speaker 3: I do not know what kind of show you have
21:00
Speaker 3: been to, but drag shows are always sexual in nature.
21:06
Speaker 3: Drag shows are always people wearing the most ridiculous and
21:12
Speaker 3: salacious of costumes. These are not you know, these are
21:18
Speaker 3: not people that are at peace with coming out and performing.
21:22
Speaker 3: They're not dressing up like the Wizard of Oz or
21:25
Speaker 3: Daffy Duck or Mickey Mouse. These are men dressing up
21:31
Speaker 3: in gender affirming clothing like chicks. And they got all
21:37
Speaker 3: this makeup on, and it's not normal makeup. It's scary
21:40
Speaker 3: freaking makeup. I gotta say, I really don't understand the
21:43
Speaker 3: whole drag queen makeup thing. It is some scary shit,
21:46
Speaker 3: Like is there a reason why you have to look
21:49
Speaker 3: like that? Like it's not I'm uncomfortable looking at it.
21:52
Speaker 3: But it's always this very exaggerated you know.
21:58
Speaker 1: Look, the clothes are always tight.
22:01
Speaker 3: They are always doing very sort of almost like burlesque
22:06
Speaker 3: type of stuff, you know, very sexual in nature. And
22:09
Speaker 3: for her to say that it's not sexual in nature
22:12
Speaker 3: that she takes her kids there, I'm like, why do
22:15
Speaker 3: you take your kids there? Was Paul patrol not available?
22:20
Speaker 3: Are they not able to go to the park? I
22:22
Speaker 3: mean where on the playdate schedule where you're like, yes,
22:25
Speaker 3: drag shows, definitely got to get that one in.
22:28
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
22:30
Speaker 3: It's the same idea as if I took, you know,
22:33
Speaker 3: my sons to a strip bar, and my support and
22:39
Speaker 3: defense of that decision to take my young boys there
22:43
Speaker 3: would be well, they're just dancers.
22:46
Speaker 1: I mean they're really artistic.
22:47
Speaker 3: You know, really truly are to especially when their boobs
22:51
Speaker 3: are completely out. I mean that's when they really strike
22:54
Speaker 3: the high note.
22:55
Speaker 1: That's insane. When you have a man coming towards a child, sick.
23:00
Speaker 3: Foot four, he's wearing platform heels, he's got lipstick around
23:03
Speaker 3: his face like it got attacked by a clown. He's
23:06
Speaker 3: got a fake boop set on you. Why does your
23:09
Speaker 3: child need to see this? What about that says yes,
23:12
Speaker 3: bring me children. I'm sorry, I do not understand this.
23:16
Speaker 3: I cannot believe that people think this is okay. I've
23:20
Speaker 3: seen people take their kids and these things and they're
23:22
Speaker 3: putting dollar bills in the jockstrap that's right, the jockstrap
23:28
Speaker 3: of the man pretending to be a woman. I mean,
23:31
Speaker 3: the kid's gotta be sitting there going How am I
23:32
Speaker 3: doing here?
23:34
Speaker 1: Is there any like?
23:34
Speaker 3: Do I have any army guys or some Barbie dolls?
23:37
Speaker 3: Or is there a bike I can ride?
23:39
Speaker 5: Like? I?
23:39
Speaker 3: Oh god, it's so frustrating. How screwed up these kids
23:44
Speaker 3: are gonna be because their parents are so interested in
23:48
Speaker 3: bringing them into their world of sick But you can't
23:51
Speaker 3: leave the damn kids alone. I cannot understand why people
23:55
Speaker 3: think that it is okay to hurt kids or to
23:58
Speaker 3: hurt animals. Just I don't freaking get it. Man. Okay,
24:03
Speaker 3: this is my last Angie Nixon cut. As you can
24:05
Speaker 3: clearly see, she gets me pretty pissed off.
24:08
Speaker 5: Some of the agenda includes things that have been controversial,
24:12
Speaker 5: things you did not name, by the way, and what
24:14
Speaker 5: is most important to you and the voters of Florida,
24:17
Speaker 5: including defunding police or abolishing prisons, because.
24:21
Speaker 1: Those are part of the platform.
24:23
Speaker 5: The DSA officially agenda has talked about do you support
24:26
Speaker 5: those or want to be distanced from those in people's consideration.
24:30
Speaker 7: So I want to be clear there are things that
24:32
Speaker 7: are a part of the democratic clearly platform. Since Hakien
24:37
Speaker 7: Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are not supportive of Medicare for All,
24:42
Speaker 7: which should be a right for folks to have access
24:45
Speaker 7: to quality health care. I want to abolish for profit
24:49
Speaker 7: prisons because I believe right now people aren't educating our children,
24:53
Speaker 7: and they're usshering them into the school to prison pipeline
24:56
Speaker 7: because they want to exploit labor. They're enhancing penalties because
25:00
Speaker 7: they want cheap labor. And so those are some of
25:03
Speaker 7: the things that I am supportive of.
25:06
Speaker 3: So you want to stop prisons because you think that
25:10
Speaker 3: they're using them.
25:11
Speaker 1: For cheap labor. What I Oh, here's what.
25:17
Speaker 3: I want to know. Have you been to one of
25:20
Speaker 3: these prisons that you want to close? Have you visited
25:23
Speaker 3: and met with the staff there. Have you talked to
25:26
Speaker 3: the person that is in charge of said prison that
25:28
Speaker 3: you want to shut down? Have you met with the
25:30
Speaker 3: people that are in the prisons? You know Jack Brewer,
25:34
Speaker 3: who's an amazing, amazing guy, great friend, great patriot. He
25:40
Speaker 3: runs a whole program where he goes into prisons and
25:42
Speaker 3: he meets and rehabilitates people, and he'll tell your first
25:46
Speaker 3: hand there are people who belong in prison, and then
25:48
Speaker 3: there are other people who don't. And you'll know right
25:52
Speaker 3: away which one of those people you're meeting with when
25:55
Speaker 3: you go in, and the idea that they just go
25:58
Speaker 3: in with this like general of yeah, I want to
26:01
Speaker 3: shut down all the prisons these four it's it's for
26:04
Speaker 3: cheap labor.
26:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not what's happening.
26:06
Speaker 3: That's it's actually really insane that people say things like this,
26:13
Speaker 3: particularly in light of the amount of people and the
26:16
Speaker 3: recidivism rate and how people go in and out of
26:20
Speaker 3: prison because they keep committing more crimes. It's not like
26:23
Speaker 3: they come out of prison and then they're like, you
26:25
Speaker 3: know what, I'm gonna turn I'm gonna turn my life around.
26:27
Speaker 3: I learned a lot that was no good. No, they
26:30
Speaker 3: commit more crime and they go back in and the
26:33
Speaker 3: judges are allowing them to do it.
26:34
Speaker 1: I mean.
26:36
Speaker 3: Again, it comes down to ignorance. Do your homework, got
26:40
Speaker 3: put the work in before you make these statements, because
26:44
Speaker 3: you're just talking points, that's all you are. You know,
26:47
Speaker 3: these socialists are all young, privileged, elitist pricks whose parents
26:54
Speaker 3: have money. They don't know what it is to be
26:57
Speaker 3: a part of the working class. They just talk about it.
26:59
Speaker 3: There's the whole big thing about this guy from New
27:02
Speaker 3: York right now, because he goes around touting that he's
27:04
Speaker 3: a union electrician. Meanwhile, there's no record of him ever
27:08
Speaker 3: working as an electrician. Nobody has any record of him
27:10
Speaker 3: on any job. There's one guy out right now, he
27:13
Speaker 3: says he's in the union. He goes, yeah, this guy
27:16
Speaker 3: applied for an apprenticeship and he failed, and then he
27:18
Speaker 3: skipped out on the bills. I mean, this is one
27:21
Speaker 3: of those things where you're kind of like, we have
27:24
Speaker 3: hit a wall of so much misinformation that the voter,
27:29
Speaker 3: the average person out there, is like, I don't even
27:32
Speaker 3: know what to make heads or tails of what's being
27:33
Speaker 3: told to me.
27:34
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. I feel the same exact way.
27:38
Speaker 3: So Angie Nixon, I pray will lose to Ashley Moody
27:44
Speaker 3: this November. Now obviously, are feckless and weak and completely spineless.
27:51
Speaker 3: Republican Party senators have taken five weeks off and are
27:56
Speaker 3: doing nothing for the month of August, while the rest
27:58
Speaker 3: of us are working getting our kids ready to go
28:01
Speaker 3: back to school, getting ready for fall sports, and trying
28:05
Speaker 3: to survive in an economy and a nation that is
28:08
Speaker 3: being objectified at every single turn. So while they're all
28:12
Speaker 3: jerking off on their five weeks trying to figure out
28:15
Speaker 3: how they're going to get reelected, which actually had a
28:17
Speaker 3: very simple solution, a very simple, peaceful and logical solution.
28:22
Speaker 3: It was called, don't take five weeks off, be like
28:24
Speaker 3: the rest of America, work through the summer and actually
28:28
Speaker 3: pass the bills and the legislation that matters to the
28:33
Speaker 3: American people.
28:34
Speaker 1: But John Dune and his douchebag.
28:36
Speaker 3: Rhino friends like Cornyn and Tillis and Murkowski and Collins
28:41
Speaker 3: and all the other scumbags said no, no, no, we
28:44
Speaker 3: don't want that. So you know what up yours. So anyways,
28:47
Speaker 3: they're going to lose in November. I have no hope
28:50
Speaker 3: for them whatsoever because what they've shown us, and I
28:55
Speaker 3: do believe this is that the Democrats and the Republicans
28:58
Speaker 3: are the same. There are very few senators and very
29:02
Speaker 3: few congressmen that actually step out of the status quo
29:06
Speaker 3: lane of being on Capitol Hill and do their own
29:08
Speaker 3: thing and march to their own you know, their own beat,
29:10
Speaker 3: of their own drum. Brandon gill is one, Senator Mike
29:14
Speaker 3: Lee is one. You know, these are people that are
29:17
Speaker 3: really towing the line and they're like, no, I'm not
29:20
Speaker 3: doing that. That's wrong. That's not why I'm here. Pretty
29:22
Speaker 3: Much everybody else could give a shit less. You know,
29:25
Speaker 3: they're there, and they're just they make noise when it
29:27
Speaker 3: works for them, and then the rest of the time
29:29
Speaker 3: they're quiet, and it's actually super frustrating. So now they're
29:32
Speaker 3: all on vacation for five weeks and they think they're
29:34
Speaker 3: going to come back in September and that we're going
29:37
Speaker 3: to care. I know, I am a staunch conservative. I
29:41
Speaker 3: am somebody who believes that you know, I'm an equal
29:44
Speaker 3: opportunity hater. I really do believe in that it doesn't
29:47
Speaker 3: matter to me what your party line is. It matters
29:49
Speaker 3: to me if you're four or against America. And what
29:52
Speaker 3: I have learned from these Republicans is they're against America.
29:55
Speaker 3: They're not for us, no way. If they were for us,
29:58
Speaker 3: they would have stayed, they would have worked, they would
30:00
Speaker 3: have done the right thing. And when I say the
30:02
Speaker 3: right thing, it means close our borders, get these illegal
30:04
Speaker 3: immigrants out of our country. No more Haitian coverage, no
30:08
Speaker 3: more illegal immigrant coverage, no more Somali coverage. Protect our elections,
30:12
Speaker 3: get election integrity back on track, and knock it off
30:16
Speaker 3: with the pro forma vot votes against President Trump's nominees
30:20
Speaker 3: like enough.
30:21
Speaker 1: But again, they didn't do any of it.
30:24
Speaker 3: And they think they're going to come back and that
30:25
Speaker 3: we're going to forget it all, and I hope we
30:27
Speaker 3: don't and we're going to vote them back in. You know,
30:29
Speaker 3: what's the difference is absolutely nothing. So now the Democrats
30:32
Speaker 3: will win. They'll make it a lot worse than the
30:34
Speaker 3: Republicans made it. But the Republicans weren't doing us any favors, right,
30:38
Speaker 3: they had control of everything. They did nothing for two years, guys,
30:42
Speaker 3: they did nothing. President Trump's been in office for almost
30:45
Speaker 3: two years and these assholes did nothing.
30:48
Speaker 1: So there's that.
30:49
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to tell you guys about one other thing,
30:52
Speaker 3: because this is so insane. There is a guy running
30:56
Speaker 3: around Philadelphia right now, super weird, wearing a chucky mask
31:01
Speaker 3: and going up to people. At first, it looked like
31:04
Speaker 3: he was going after white women, then he included some
31:07
Speaker 3: black women. Now he's included black and white women, black
31:10
Speaker 3: and white men. He's going to people walking into other offices.
31:13
Speaker 3: So it looks like he's just like an equal opportunity shithead,
31:16
Speaker 3: Like he's like, whoever he sees is gonna go up
31:18
Speaker 3: to So he's wearing this chucky mask, he's in this
31:20
Speaker 3: weird sweatshirt, and he's got a backpack on and he
31:25
Speaker 3: runs up to people. He doesn't have a weapon, it seems,
31:28
Speaker 3: but he ran up to this girl in Philly. And
31:31
Speaker 3: I've been following this because it's been going on for
31:33
Speaker 3: a couple of days. I'm trying to figure out who
31:34
Speaker 3: the hell this person is and why they're doing what
31:36
Speaker 3: they're doing, because it's so bizarre. And this girl fought
31:40
Speaker 3: him off, and she's so funny. You just have to
31:42
Speaker 3: hear how matter of fact she is about the whole thing.
31:45
Speaker 9: Jamika says she screamed for help, kicked him in the chest,
31:48
Speaker 9: and was prepared to try to fight him off.
31:50
Speaker 8: He just seems so disoriented about what his goals actually were.
31:53
Speaker 8: Like I had bags, he wasn't reaching for those. It
31:56
Speaker 8: didn't seem like he had a clear goal to like
31:57
Speaker 8: actually get a lock alone, to do anything. So I
32:00
Speaker 8: was like, Okay, well let's see if you can fight it,
32:03
Speaker 8: and he could.
32:03
Speaker 9: Police believe the man attempted to antagonize at least six people,
32:06
Speaker 9: including men and employees at nearby businesses, and indicated he
32:10
Speaker 9: had a weapon, but witnesses have not reported seeing one.
32:13
Speaker 9: If Cop Police say the suspect is facing multiple charges,
32:16
Speaker 9: including terroristic threats, simple assault, and intimidation.
32:21
Speaker 1: So how weird is this?
32:23
Speaker 3: The guy's wearing a Chucky mask, black sweatshirt, black sweatpants,
32:26
Speaker 3: he's got a book bag, nothing on him to identify him.
32:30
Speaker 3: The only thing you see is that he's black because
32:32
Speaker 3: his hands are visible, so he has black hands.
32:36
Speaker 1: That's it.
32:37
Speaker 3: You can't see anything else about this guy. And I'm like,
32:40
Speaker 3: what in the world is going on in your life
32:44
Speaker 3: that you got up and said today I'm gonna wear
32:47
Speaker 3: a Chucky mask and just scare the shit out of strangers. Like,
32:50
Speaker 3: but I can't even wrap my head around the thought process. Honestly,
32:54
Speaker 3: it's just it's a lot of guys, It's a lot.
32:57
Speaker 3: This has been the Rogue Recap. I hope you've enjoyed
33:00
Speaker 3: this show as much as I enjoy always talking to you.
33:02
Speaker 3: Please follow me at Lindamick at Rogue Recap, Rogue recap
33:07
Speaker 3: dot com. We will be here tomorrow night. I want
