• 0:04
  Speaker 1: What's up and welcome. This is the Rogue Recap and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you are here with your host, Linda McLaughlin. She is pissed, off, outraged,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and has zero patience with what seems to be an
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: epidemic of entitlement and stupidity. Here we talk about all
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the things the other shows just don't or won't touch.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Make sure to like and subscribe to our podcast so
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you never miss an episode.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, everybody, welcome to the Rogue Recap. I am
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Lenda maclachlin, your host. Please follow me at Linda Mick
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: at Rogue Recap. Would love to hear your thoughts on
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: all of the things we've been talking about these last
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: few shows. And I apologize for not getting more shows
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: done last week. We have had a lot going on,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: doing a ton of traveling, research, reporting and all the things,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but wanted to just jump back in here for a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: moment and ask everybody to pay attention. You know, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: things really start to get crazy and they don't make sense,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: or there's a lot of noise about a particular issue
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: for absolutely no reason. There's usually a reason. We just
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: don't know it right. It's kind of like look over
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: here at the Big shiny bowl. Okay, while I'm looking there,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: what are you guys doing on the other side? And
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that about the Epstein emails
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and what's happening is twofold, right. There's clearly a lot
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: of a lot of international politics going on between the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: United States and our Middle East friends and foes, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: then we have Donald Trump trying to strike some sort
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. And then we
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: have issues with agriculture all across the world when it
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: comes to these very scary bover injections that they're giving cattle,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and the cattle are literally just falling over dead within
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: like hours. And we've got all of these farmers and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: cattle ranch is reporting back that the required injections are
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: killing their livestock and killing their livelihood at the same time.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But I just think there's more to the story than
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we're seeing when it comes to the Epstein emails, which
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: everybody keeps talking about. And what's truly sad is that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the victims in the Epstein just a legacy of lies
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and abuse and rape, and it's really tragic and it
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: kind of breaks your heart when you think about what
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it really is and I think that's the thing that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: bothers me the most about the Epstein scandal is that
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: people have made it almost nefarious to talk about and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: specifically for the victim, it's not really fair. You know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: they were kids. Most of these women that are coming
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: out now and saying that they were victims, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: were taken in very young, some of them, you know, fourteen,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: fifteen years old. They're holding up pictures of themselves from
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: when they were first approached or harassed or coerced by
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Epstein and Maxwell and then subsequently used and abused for years,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you know, by these high ranking powerful people. And it's Republicans,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it's Democrats, it's you know, ambassadors, there's princes, there's kings,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: they're CEOs, they're all of these powerful people. And I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: just will never understand for the life of me, why
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: anyone would want to sleep next to and rape a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: child of any age. I mean, pedophilia to me is
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the most abhorrent act. I think people have truly become
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: numb to a lot of the horrible things that are
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: happening in our society because the value of life has
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: been reduced, and it's very cheap, and unless you really
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: start to think about the act you're discussing. I don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: know that you're really kind of getting a clear picture
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: of just how serious it is. Really think about what
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it is to be raped, what it is to be
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: held against your will, what it is to be sold
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: literally sold, not figuratively. Not you're treating me like trash. No,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you are literally treating me like property, like trash, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you are selling me to people every single day. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: my reward is that I get to live here and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I don't get paid, and I'm held against my will,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and if I say anything, who knows what will happen.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But what's more odd to me is this desire to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: keep it hush hush. Right, So there was this massive
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: we're not going to say anything, there's nothing to say.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Then there was oh no, wait, we do want to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: say something because we think it implicate you know, public
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Enemy number one, i e. Our president. And then they
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: come to find that the star witness, you know, Virginia Jeffrey,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: who has you know, testified time and time again, you
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: know that Donald Trump was not a part of anything
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: she ever saw and was not a part of anything
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: she ever had to be a part of or was
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: forced to be a part of She named a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of other people, but not Donald Trump, and if anything,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: she said the opposite. When these emails started coming out
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: again a couple of weeks ago, Michael Wolfe, who is
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: known to be a turncoat and has done nothing but
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: tried to manipulate people, literally many people, and some of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that is revealed in these In these emails at the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: House Oversight Committee and Chairman Comer released to the public
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: after unanimous votes, while I guess four hundred and twenty
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: seven votes and them one guy said no because and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: his answer was interesting, although I don't know this was
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the place to make it. The the solo member of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Congress who voted no on releasing the Epstein files said
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: no because of the fact that there were names of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: witnesses and addresses and people who had given testimony, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: he didn't feel that it was right to reveal those
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: names and addresses because they testified under the condition of anonymity.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: So it's you're sort of going back on your word.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And then that honestly does set a precedent for when
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: they say, hey, this person is going to be testifying
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to us. It's a whistleblower, it's a person it's a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: source with information. People will be more reticent to do
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that now because they're going to say, okay, fine, well
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: in five years, are you then going to release my
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: name and not redact it and classified you know, or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: declassified files. In any event, one person voted no, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: everybody else voted yes. Then the Senate voted yes. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: what are they doing. They're outing themselves. You know, we
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: have Democrats. We have Stacey Plaskett, who's a representative from
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the Virgin Islands. She's texting with Jeffrey during a hearing
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: with Michael Cohen, who was a witness, and Epstein is
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: telling her what questions to ask and how to ask
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: them and then applauding her on her you know, great questioning,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to which you know, her reply, now with this information
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: coming out, is you know, well that's not true. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: didn't take you know, his advice. And it's like, if
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you watch the tape and you look at the transcript
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of the text, she actually one hundred percent took his
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: questions and took his direction, and that's how her questioning
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: was led. And I'm trying to figure out how they
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: are going to get away from that, Like this is
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a woman who sits on intelligence committees and high profile
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: committees within our Congress, and she's not being removed or censured,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: even though Ralph Norman, another congressman, came out and said
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that he wanted to censor her because they're making a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: back room deal for Corey Mills, because Corey Mills is
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a Republican. So people on the right are striking deals
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: with people on the left to protect Corey Mills in
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: exchange for Stacy Plaskett. Well, Corey Mills is no better
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: than Stacy Plasket. They both screwed up, and now we've
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: got a question of stolen valor with Corey Mills, which
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I got to say, it really breaks my heart because
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I really liked that congressman. I thought he was a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: good man, and I cannot believe that you know, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the branches of the military that he claimed he worked
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: with and had received awards and this and that, they're like, nope,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: never happened, don't know anything about it. So I just
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: think all of that is is very unfortunate that instead
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of us upholding the law and getting the answers right
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: on both sides, right, whoever happens to be wrong, Well,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you're wrong. It's that whole idea like nobody's above the law, right.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: They'd love to say that on the left, but then
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: when it really comes down to it, everyone is above
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the law. And over the past week we have seen
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: so much much fraud and abuse from the Somalian movement
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. They've done this weird medicaid thing where they've
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: got close to five billion dollars that they've built out
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: of the American government for autism cases and pretending that
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: their children have autism. And then we have all of
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: these representatives across the country getting caught on COVID and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: FEMA funds and misappropriating them and using them for personal
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: gain and funneling them through family and friends to cover
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: up the receipt I mean. And it's not like a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: thousand bucks, guys, We're talking about five million dollars. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: what's interesting is these are the same people that voted
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and cheered when Donald Trump's accountant got in trouble because
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: he took too many car services. Really think about that
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: for a minute, you know. It's just there is such
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a double standard, and it does get to a point
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: where it is truly exhausting, and it's i get sick
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of watching it. I get sick of talking about it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Because we currently as Republicans, we have control of the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: House and the Senate. But the problem is that we
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: have career politicians who have deep and long standing roots
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and ties with other members of Congress that supersede their
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: job as representatives of the people. It's like when you
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: see reporters asking Hakeem Jeffries today about whether or not
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: he took money from Jeffrey Epstein, and he's saying no,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And we have emails and receipts and a track record
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that clearly show that he campaigned and he helped him,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and he donated to him, he asked other people to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: donate to him. Why not just be honest, Why not
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: just say I had no idea, you know, just like
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Stacy Plaskett. You know, she also had an email back
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and forth where she's saying, I would really love it
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: if he could be a part of this event that
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I'm doing. I'm going to be in New York and
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: if he could be there. I mean, they're reaching out
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to someone that they know has been convicted of pedophilia
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: and child trafficking and sex trafficking, and they're still going
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: to them for money. It just truly begins to highlight
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and show you that the corruption within Congress is so
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: deep that even these me too lunatics who are all
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: out there screaming about illegal aliens and what we're doing
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: right now, and meanwhile they're catching tons of cartel members,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: MS thirteen members, rapists, pedophiles, assault with a deadly weapon,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: you know, armed robbery. These people have records for days
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and they're upset. What are you upset about? What are
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you so upset about? If they don't go after these locations,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: If they don't go and talk to these people and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: get them out of here, your daughter, your son, your
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: family member could be next. How many more kids have
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to go missing? How many more kids have to be
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: sexually assaulted? How many more people have to be hit
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: by a giant Mac truck trailer? When is it enough?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Is it only when it hits you at home that
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: you actually care? It's so infuriating. And then you look
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: at Harriet Hagman. She's from Wyoming. She's a great congresswoman,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: very outspoken, doesn't really care whether you like her or not.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: And she had talked about Stacey Plaskett and her association
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: with Epstein back in September, they were doing cross examination
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: of FBI Director Cash Betel, and she asked them straight out, like,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: have you talked to Stacey Plaskett? Because if you're looking
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to talk to somebody, this is the person. I just
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: want you to hear this quick, because it's not getting
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of play. This is Harriet Hagman.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I believe that you might have been asked earlier about
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: whether you had had an opportunity to visit with any
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of Epstein's legal counsel Were you asked that question earlier?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: One of the legal counsels or legal fixers for mister
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Epstein was Stacy Plaskett, the Democrat delegate to Congress from
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the Virgin Islands. So perhaps for those on the other
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: side who are interested in talking to Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: they can sure visit with one of their own colleagues.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, how spot on is that she's telling you
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: this woman is in conversation with emailing, with texting, with
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: talking to a known trafficker, a known human trafficker. They
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: would lose their mind if that was a Republican member
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of Congress that was having that sort of conversation with
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, just think about it. Think about
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: it for one second. If you had some member of
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Congress that was very close to the president and that
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: person was saying all these things, do you think for
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: one second they wouldn't be doing everything that they could
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to get that person and expelled from Congress, censure them
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: for their ideas. But then when they do that, on
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the reverse, we can't get we can't get our people
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: in line. They are siding with the Democrats to protect
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: bad Republicans. Get rid of all of them. We don't
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: meet any of them. I don't know how many times
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: we have to say it. It is not right versus left,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: it's us versus them. The elite do not adhere to
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the laws by which they were elected to enforce. They
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: don't do it. I want them out. I'm sick and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: tired of seeing all of these people attacked, murdered, set
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: on fire by repeat offenders. Who are the judges that
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: are releasing people forty fifty sixty times back onto the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: street on cashle' spell again? Who has to get hurt
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: for people that are in power to care what has
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to happen? Does it have to happen to the judge daughter.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Does it have to happen to the congresswoman's child? Who
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: does it have to happen to for people to care?
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't understand. There's such a loss of humanity.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: And every once in a while I'll see a story
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: or i'll see something and I'm like, oh, that was
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: really nice or oh that was great. But it's so
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: far few and in between, and you really cannot have
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a conversation with anybody on the left about any of
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: these things. They don't want to hear it. They have
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: no desire to hear it. They don't want to talk
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to you about the what ifs and oh, well, actually,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: did you know what you're saying is wrong? They have
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: their little playbook, they have their talking points, and they
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear anything to the wiser. And it's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: so frustrating.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I used to do this thing years ago where I
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: went out onto the street and I would show pictures
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of members of Congress to just random people on the street.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: It was called man on the Show, and I would say,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: do you know who this is? Do you know who
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: this is? Do you know who this is? And they
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: would never know literally never know, and then I would
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: show them a picture of like, you know, I don't
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: know Taylor Swift or Britney Spears or Hugh Jackman or
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you know, anybody famous, and they would know them and I. So,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you know what's interesting is you know the people who
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: literally rewords that other people wrote for them to say,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: songs that other people wrote for them to sing. But
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the people that are in charge of the laws that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: govern you, your family, your children, your country, you have
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: no idea who they are. How scary is that? And
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: you look at things like our election a couple of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, and you see all the lunatics that were elected,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and then you look at the counties in which they were.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: We still don't have answers about the GOP districts and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the campaign sites that were down on election day in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: New Jersey for Chitdarelli. We still don't have answers about
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Chester County in Pennsylvania. We still don't have answer about
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: things that happened in DC. We don't have things that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: happened in Ohio. We don't have answers about things that
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: happened in Seattle. There are so many people that are
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: underrepresented and not because they're not doing their civic duty
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and going out and voting, but because the voting is
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: so manipulated. Whether it's mail in ballots, whether it's the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: fact that you don't ask for ID and somebody could
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: go in and vote seven times in a row and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: nobody's going to stop them. It's really upsetting. I don't
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: know why we don't have to show ID to do
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: these things. You have to show ID to do just
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: about anything, but we don't have to show it to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: elect people that are going to run the country. It's
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it's gotten to a point now where we are dumbing
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: down America. And when people talk about things like AI
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and how it's going to make us smarter and it's
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: going to assist us, you know there are places for
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that sort of technology. For example, like the neuralink that
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk invented and he's helping people that are quadra paraplegics.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's pretty incredible, and I think that's using
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: technology in a way that helps humanity. But when we
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: start replacing jobs, when we start using robots to build
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: houses instead of humans, when we start to ask robots
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: to help us set up our schedule because we don't
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: have the common sense or the concentration to do it ourselves.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: We've got a problem. This isn't a movie anymore. This
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: is real life, and we can't be relying on AI
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: and robots and computers. It's one thing to help us
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: do our job. It's another thing to remove us from
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: doing our job because you're no longer needed, because you're
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: not using your brain critically. Your brain is a muscle,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: you've got to use it. I'm on my soapbox and
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I know that. I want to thank you guys for
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: listening tonight. This is the Roague Recap. I am Lynda McLaughlin.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Please check us out atmic at Rogue Recap and we'll
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: see you next time.
