Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We've been trying to figure out how to describe what is Armstrong and Getty on demand for many years. I'm going to give it a shot. So most media is either agenda-driven or they're so shallow. And boring. Don't learn anything anyway. We try to get to the bottom of the stories that are shaping our worlds and help you understand what's actually happening. So give it a try sometime. Entertaining and you learn something? Where do I do this? Listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, it's Drew Franklin from NFL Cover Zero. The 2026 season is underway and we are loving football on TV. Here's what you can expect from the podcast in our second season. I would suggest for these preseason games, I think they should do what they do on the NFL draft. You know, when coverage of the NFL draft is basically for moms and they're just like, hey, he has a dog named Spark. Listen to NFL Cover Zero on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 Rogue Recap. It is Friday, 9-11, and we are here remembering what 9-11 is all about. It's to mourn those that paid the ultimate sacrifice to rescue those who were being murdered by Islamic terrorists. And while there is a lot of revisionist history happening here on The Rogue Recap and with me as your host, I am Linda McLaughlin, we're not going to do that. So we're going to remember some amazing people later on in the show today.

people that I call the unsung heroes, people that you definitely don't know their names. I didn't even know their names until this week. I started looking around for people that just had amazing moments of heroism, insight, strategy on 9-11. Because if you were in New York City on 9-11, I was, there was so much fear and there was so much unknown, right? Nobody thought.

when those planes were crashing into the Twin Towers, that this was a terrorist attack, right? Especially the first plane, we were just like, oh my God, like there must've been something happened. I hope that air traffic control is trying to figure this out. Did something happen in the cockpit? Did the pilot have a heart attack? Like all the things that you would think.

Then the second plane struck. Then we heard about Shanksville. Then we heard about the Pentagon. And suddenly everything gets very real. And throughout history, we've obviously, as a world, been through World War I, World War II. We've been on the precipice of World War III many times currently right now with what's happening with Iran and the Houthis and the Strait of Hormuz and so on and so forth. But we've never had any of it happen on our soil, right? We're always abroad. We're always sending our troops abroad. And so to have this happen in New York City...

on a regular Tuesday morning. And, you know, anybody who's listening who was in New York City on that Tuesday morning, it was like a gorgeous day. It was beautiful. The sky was clear. A million people have said this, but it really is true. And so when this started happening and the planes were crashing, everybody kind of felt the same thing. Like, it's really nice out. Like, there's nothing going on. Like, why are these planes crashing into buildings? And you start to put together the fact that, you know, we get the audio and we have the voices of people calling their loved ones and saying there's hijackers on the plane. And these moments that are forever just memorialized in these tapes and these voicemails and these last messages that the family members, that's all they have to hang on to.

And as we discussed earlier this week, over 100,000 signatures to ask Mayor, I use that term loosely, Mom Donnie, not to come. Please don't come to the memorial. You literally currently have terrorist counsel, terrorist sympathizers, terrorist friends, people who say that America deserve 9-11 in your inner circle. You have them at your home. You have them at Gracie Mansion. You have them serving you as advisors. Maybe just sit this one out. And of course, true to form, total scumbag asshole.

He shows up. And what does he do with the memorial? He laughs alongside AOC, another total piece of shit. So two people who literally have never accomplished anything in their lives other than lying enough to get enough people to show up to vote for them and say, you're amazing. You're a great speaker. You're this, you're that. Never forget the amount of dumb things that have come out of AOC's mouth. It is all encompassing when you start to look at it.

And even this new version of her, right, this AOC 2.0, because she thinks that she's important enough to be a revision of oneself. I'm like, you haven't done enough with the first version of you to get to a second version of you. And to be perfectly frank, the first version of you is so pathetic that it's not even worthy of a rewrite. Just everybody in these ridiculous appointments and offices who have done nothing with their lives, if you haven't built anything with your hands that is your namesake other than your brand, you're really not worth a whole lot. Go employ some people.

Go figure out what it is to pay taxes. Go figure out what it is to not get chauffeured around in black cars at the expense of other people who do work hard. Not have bodyguards everywhere you are so you don't have to answer to the people whose lives you ruin every single day with your bullshit rules and laws and ideas. Ideas rooted in socialism, communism, Marxism. Based on everything, that is not America, right?

So needless to say, these people, I despise them. I have nothing positive to say about them. And on a day like 9-11, when I see Joe Biden and Jill Biden and Michelle Obama and Mom Donnie and AOC, people who have done nothing but attempt to hurt the legacy of the United States of America, I really don't have a whole lot of kind things to say. And I don't know, I just don't know how these incredible people who have to get up there and say the names of all the lives we've lost and of their own loved ones have the ability to not say anything. Like I know me. And if my loved one was murdered on 9-11,

and I saw any of these people, I'd be like, by the way, you're a piece of shit for showing up. Thanks a lot for not caring. Thanks a lot for not being somebody that we could count on to have a moment, a shred of decency. You guys suck. You destroyed America. You're destroying New York. Like I would take that opportunity and do that. And people may say, not the place, not the time. I got news for you. It's never the place. It's never the time. There is never a good time to blow somebody up and light them up for all of the horrible things they've done. And I don't know at what point we don't get frustrated enough where we say, I'm so sick.

of being sick, of people not being held accountable and cold on the carpet. You know, I'm from a place and I'm from a time and a mentality and I live my life this way. When you make a mistake, when you do the wrong thing, when you say the wrong thing, whatever it is, be like, I don't know, solid enough to stand up and be like, yeah, sorry, my fault, bro. That's on me. Because I know that's what I do. It's very difficult. It's difficult to say you screwed up. It's difficult to say I'm sorry. It's difficult to swallow it when you know I'm wrong. I'm on the wrong side of this and I apologize. But it's the right thing to do. And the right thing to do is so underused these days, right?

People are not able to get out of their own way so that they can say, that's on me. Whether it's something that you did that let yourself down, let somebody else down, trying to get over. I can't stand that getting over thing, right? The people that are always, there's always an angle. I always got an angle. Those kind of people, there's only one angle for them. It's down the tubes. Goodbye. I want nothing to do with you. And I was just saying that to somebody today. They came to my house to look at something, to do some work with an issue that we have. And I was like, by the way, I'm a conservative Christian. I'm really not interested in having like liberal politics work in my house. I'm just not. Because I'm not looking to pay them money and give them work.

and further their entrepreneurial spirit at the expense of my own country. If you're looking to spend your money and donate to candidates and donate to efforts and projects and communities that have nothing to do with furthering the better overall good of the United States of America, guess what? I'm not helping you further that negative cause. I'm just not. I want to work with people and have people work with me, for me, around me that want to have that rising tide lifts all boats.

And I've been saying for a while now that I really do believe that we are in the uniparty, right? We're in the uniparty set. It's the us versus them. But it feels like that more than ever now, right? Because we have so many rhinos that work against the American people. Like, I'm here in Pennsylvania, and we have Governor Shapiro, who's god-awful, no question. But then we have Brian Fitzpatrick, this Republican congressman.

He is one of the biggest shysters, bullshit artists. My God, he should teach a class on it. He's so good at it. And all of these groups are supporting him, right? The Humane Society, AFL-CIO, and blah, blah, blah. I'm telling you right now, this is a man who supports illegal immigration. This is a man who voted to extend all of the assets and properties for Haitian immigrants who are here illegally. This is a man who is voting with the Democrats 80 to 90% of the time. Well, guess what? If you're going to vote like a Democrat, and I know you're a lying douchebag, I'm just going to vote for the Democrat running against you. That, to me, seems like a much better plan.

And at some point, to go back to that unit party, you start to wonder if it's even worth having the R or the D. I've always wished that we had a system that was issue-based, where you could just look at somebody's record and say, hmm, how have they voted? I'm always surprised when people don't know how they vote, and they're just like, yeah, I'm just going to vote him back in because I guess he's doing a good job. I'm like, how could you think he's doing a good job? He's doing a terrible job.

Or he isn't doing any job, right? There's that side of it too, where there's these congressmen and women who just don't show up to work. I don't really know how they get off. I don't know how they get away with that. Even right now, Congress being off for five weeks, I'm like, man, that must be nice. You know, five weeks here, two weeks there. You know, they fly on a Monday. They work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. They fly out on a Thursday night. They say they're back in their districts on Friday. When do you see any of these people doing anything in their districts? I'm in my district. I don't see anybody. I never see anybody. What are you doing? You're back in your communities. You're back home. You say that you're going home early because you want to work in your home office. I would love to see...

like the footage of them actually walking in and being there for an eight hour day or doing an event locally or going and speaking to their constituents or being at a community center or a senior citizen's home or a local school, right? And talking about the things that matter to the people. You never see that because it's not happening. They're not doing it. They're just getting in and out of Dodge, working three day weeks, taking however many days, you know, a year of vacation. I think they only work. I have to go back and check this. So don't quote me, but I think it's like under 200 days that they actually work, which is, I don't know how people, it just makes me so angry guys. It really does. But.

We're going to talk about a few things today, a few interesting, fun things. And the first thing we're going to start with is a fun thing. And it's Vice President Vance at the very ill-timed, poorly managed RNC midterm convention. If you're watching it, I know it's a hot mess. I don't know who organizes these things or how it works out. I really don't. But it's not good. But putting that to the side for one minute, Vance was there last night and they have this guy get up with a Mexican flag and he's crashing on the United States and screaming about Mexico. And Vance really impressively lays the smack down. I liked it.

What the people at home missed is that we just had a protester interrupting us and waving the Mexican flag. Well, well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there. I'll buy you the plane ticket. Needless to say, we kind of love that. I loved it too. You know what I mean? And listen, say what you want about J.D. Vance, but let's just be really clear. You know, this is somebody who has served our country. He's now our vice president. And, you know, if you think about Donald Trump when he was in office the first time and he was like, get him out of here. You're a bum. I mean, I love that because that's a regular person. You know, a regular person doesn't consistently take the high road at every opportunity given. Sometimes it's nice to kick somebody in the teeth because they're talking shit. I'm sorry. I think that's the way it has to be. I think if we had a little bit more, shut up, you're full of shit. Here's all the reasons why.

I was listening to a lot of Charlie Kirk audio yesterday, and he was a phenomenal debater, and he had an incredible ability to retain and then regurgitate knowledge. So he was well-read, he was well-informed, and then he was able to have a well-balanced conversation with someone. And he didn't have to have a potty mouth, and he didn't have to get loud, which is, to me, great, impressive, wonderful. But he did slap people down when they came at him. He didn't say, well, you're entitled to your opinion. He didn't do that. He was like, oh, you know why you're really wrong? Here are the 38 reasons why you're wrong.

That's what I love. I love having a conversation with someone. Even if someone disagrees with me, I'm like, oh, awesome. Why do you disagree? Why do you think that? There was nothing more pertinent to me during the 2020 election

in this election, when people would say Trump was a racist, Trump was a misogynist, Trump was a fascist. And I'd be like, oh my God, he is? I don't know anything about this. My husband says this all the time. And he would say, oh, can you give me some examples? Because I feel like I'm super uninformed on this. And then people get mad. Oh my God, are you challenging me? No, I'm asking you to support the very extreme statement that you've just made. So if you're saying that so-and-so is a misogynist, so-and-so is a racist, then I'm assuming you have a list of examples.

Or at least two or three, right? Because we have to create a pattern to accuse someone of being an ist, right? Misogynist, fascist, racist, whatever the ist is. There's got to be some sort of background material, right? But they never do. They don't have anything. They have no idea why they are angry other than somebody told them that's how you should feel. It's the same thing that we saw during the Lindsay Clancy case and all these dumb women were walking around just bringing down the average on a daily basis saying, oh yeah, well, I heard about it on TikTok.

What do you mean you heard about it on TikTok? You heard what on TikTok? The only thing you're hearing on TikTok is a clip from the trial or a clip and then somebody's opinion on it, right? You have to watch the trial. You have to read the documents. You know, I was talking to somebody yesterday.

And I thought it was interesting because their point was that Lindsey Clancy's husband was not helpful when the kids were doing whatever and she was at work and she was hearing the baby monitor go off and he wasn't answering it. And she used to call 911 from work and have them do wellness checks because she didn't trust her husband. And I'm like, yeah, I got to tell you, I don't really care what the reason is as to why she killed her children. you're a murderer, you should go to prison. Like, okay, you're in a bad marriage and you have a shitty husband. You know, how many women are saying that? I'm very blessed. I don't have that problem, but I know a lot of women that do. And they have a shitty husband who doesn't pick up the slack, who isn't a part of the team. And unfortunately it's on you. Is that the reason now we have for killing your kids?

I just am having difficulty constantly having to appease those who wish to appease people who are doing things that really need to have some accountability. And if we had accountability, I think we would have a much better society because people would be afraid to do things. It's like when you go to Singapore, you can be arrested for spitting your gum on the pavement. It's not allowed. You're not allowed to litter. You're not allowed to spit your gum. You're not allowed to start shit up. You're not allowed to smoke weed. You know, they were talking about the tennis open the other day and people are smoking weed and the debris in the trash is so poorly handled in New York. I can tell you that firsthand. I was there yesterday and it's so dirty. It's so dirty, guys. I mean, it's...

I mean, it's kind of probably like Mom Donnie's apartment, I guess, you know, it's just really dirty and gross. And so we've got this massive issue of people smoking weed in New York. I mean, you can't walk anywhere and not get skunked. It's everywhere. And so these athletes come in and they're trying to play, you know, at the U.S. Open, this massive event for people who play tennis and they can't breathe. I mean, even the people in the stands are like, I can't breathe. The smell of weed is so strong. It is overwhelming. And we just, no accountability. It's legal here. It's not even a misdemeanor anymore. They don't even do anything about it. It's just cast to the side, 100%.

So I'm on my high horse, but it is a larger issue, lack of accountability and this willingness to completely and totally coalesce our American way with communism, socialism, Marxism. And Secretary of State Rubio very recently this week was asked about his dealings right now with various countries and in particular Venezuela. And he starts to talk about the history of all these isms and how poorly they have performed in all of these other countries. So this idea of, well, let's try it here. Maybe we'll get it right. Does that make any sense to anybody? I don't think so.

The question was whether I was worried about left-wing movements rising as a result of U.S. policy. Left-wing groups have already been here, and they've destroyed the hemisphere. The left-wing destroyed Venezuela, the left-wing destroyed Cuba, the left-wing destroyed Nicaragua. The left-wing has basically destroyed every country they've gotten a hold of in the hemisphere. Not only have they done that here in Ecuador as well, not only have they done that in Bolivia. Look what Bolivia has suffered for 25 years because of left-wing governance. And in fact, not only did these groups destroy these countries because of bad economic policies in places like Ecuador and in Colombia over the last four years.

These left-wing groups are actually in alliance with these criminal narco-trafficking organizations. They are outlying with them. They are allied with them. They permit them to conduct these activities in a nefarious alliance between them. So I'm glad that's being confronted. And by the way, these groups are not just threats to these countries. They ultimately become threats to the United States. I work for the United States of America. And if a threat in this region is emerging to the national security and national interest of our country, we are going to address it. And what we're very happy about is that we can now address it in partnership with other presidents and other leaders in this region that feel the same way.

So what's interesting is we can totally juxtapose that with this next clip we're going to play. So if you're listening and not watching, I'll describe it to you. These are Red Cross workers set up on the beaches of Suta, Spain, and they are providing essentials, quote unquote, to the migrants that are being brought illegally to the shores of this tiny little community. And if you're watching any kind of international news, and I hope you are. the people of suits of spain are speaking out they are fighting back they're very similar to what's happening in england right now where all of these uh illegal migrants are being dropped off in various towns where some of the towns have as few as five to six hundred people and then they get three thousand uh you know fighting age men to come into the town and these are not men that you know ascribe themselves to the mores of our western society right these are people who are like oh yeah like here like we're good we just you know clobber women rape them you know we rape your children girls boys doesn't really matter you know it's it's just so incompatible with the way that we live our lives here And so somebody took this footage of the Red Cross on the beaches of Suta, Spain. It is repulsive to watch. And they're just lined up. They're coming in from the water and they have boxes and boxes and boxes of goods for them to give out. It is so frightening and so disgusting. And I truly do not understand how, in God's great name, we are supposed to handle working with people like this. They just don't think like us, guys.

So it's just, it's one of those things, you know, and forgive me, I had to take a little break. So I'm back now. So if I look different, it's because it's about six hours later and we're continuing the show, but I got called away. You know, that's what happens when you produce your own show as well as producing everybody else's. So, but I look at what's happening in suit to Spain. I look at what's happening in England. And then I look today.

on 9-11 and there is nothing sacred anymore. We're 25 years later and we have lost our ability to respect the most solemn of days. Like we have 3,000 families coming to this 9-11 memorial, all their friends, all their extended families to just take a moment and remember someone that was murdered at the hands of Islam. And you have all these people outside that are screaming Allahu Akbar. The same exact thing that the hijacker screamed when they got on the plane that day. The same exact thing that happens every single time one of these lunatics decides that they're going to attack someone who is, in their opinion, an infidel, right? And they're outside. And then we've got these other people who are calmly, peacefully protesting because asshole Mamdani decided to show up. And he's there despite over 100,000 signatures to ask him, please do not come. We don't want you there.

And we see this video today from the memorial service. He's there with AOC and they're laughing. And you have to ask yourself how far we have come, how terrible it is. And I think part of the reason why these people are so god awful and why when people go on the street and they ask a very simple question like, who is responsible for the attacks on 9-11? The thought of him planning a proposal to me. He's going to need help. I'm like, what if he has a ring that I don't like? Wondering how Gen Z is falling in love? Curious about what marriage means today? Tune in to Ring On It, presented by Charm Diamond Centers. Hosted by two best friends, one a full-blown romantic, the other a curious skeptic.

Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We've been trying to figure out how to describe what is Armstrong and Getty on demand for many years. I'm going to give it a shot. So most media is either agenda driven. They intentionally leave parts out or they lie to you. Or they're so shallow. And boring. You don't learn anything anyway. We try to get to the bottom of the stories that are shaping our worlds and help you understand what's actually happening. The Armstrong and Getty show, practically perfect in every way. Yeah, I really like your guys' show. I've been listening for over 10 years. I'll always be an avid listener and better informed forward. The show is a collection of silly, serious, and irreverent musings of the day. Hilariously balanced with more than just a pinch of sarcasm. Whether it's on the left or the right, if somebody does something or something.

says something stupid, they're going to call it out. And I love that. I love it. Keep up the great work. I'm rocking with AMG. So give it a try sometime. Entertaining and you learn something? Where do I do it now? Listen to Armstrong and Getty on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Football's back. Hey, it's Drew Franklin from NFL Cover Zero. Enjoy the NFL season while listening to NFL Cover Zero. We have storylines, predictions, and lots of silliness. Here's what you can expect from the podcast in our second season. When you meet people and you say your job's a sports announcer, it's always interesting to see what the first thing they say is. I did have one of the more difficult questions, though. He sits next to me, and he sees I'm on my computer, and he goes, big sports fan. And I was like, yeah, actually. And he goes, what do you think about my Jaguars this year? I realized, like, no one's ever asked me that question ever about anything. And I was like...

Listen to NFL Cover Zero on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And not like the deep thought, I think it was an inside job. I think there were bombs in the building. I think George Bush knew. I think the Saudis knew. I think Israel did it. The Mossad is responsible. Just put all of the questions to the side. I'm not saying any of it's wrong or right. I'm just saying put it to the side. What we know, what is understood, what's being taught, and people don't know.

They have no idea who Mohammed Fatah is. They have no idea who Osama bin Laden is. They have no idea that there was potential involvement from Saudi Arabia, that there were proxies of Iran, that there were people calling for the death and destruction of America since the first attacks that happened at the World Trade Center in 1993. And what we're finding out now... is that so much of the information that followed those 1993 attacks were actually given in presidential briefs to presidents like Clinton. And they're actually releasing all of these files now. And I think they said they gave out 1998 to 2006 or something like that. And it shows very clearly that they thought that there were Muslim extremists in the United States planning on hijacking planes, using them as weapons, and they're releasing all of it now. All this stuff was held in presidential briefings given to presidents long before and since 2001. So it really begs the question,

Is there a point at which we start to trust the experts that present this information? Like if you have people that are coming in and saying, hey, we have a lot of intel and sources that are leading us to believe the following is possible. Even if we don't know what's going to happen, wouldn't we take precaution? Like if somebody said, hey, it might rain today, I'm going to bring an umbrella because why not be prepared? That seems to be missing on a much larger scale in our government.

Even today. I mean, most of the time as I am watching the news, I believe that two things are happening. A, I'm not being told the whole story, 100%. And B, the people that are telling the story are probably part of the problem and don't actually have an idea what the hell is going on. This whole concept that our news needs to be sanitized is part of the reason why people are so ignorant because they never get to see what's really happening. You know, I remember being trapped in a building on 9-11 and looking out my window and seeing people jump from the buildings.

And watching people that survive walk from downtown to midtown to uptown, covered in the ash and the rubble from the collapse of the buildings. You know, I can remember not being able to leave my building and the announcements coming saying that the building's on lockdown and you can't leave and people calling their families, you know, and we were in Midtown. We were far away from what was happening at the World Trade Center. And I had worked at the World Trade Center many, many times. I knew many people there. My husband, the same. He was actually there that day on the New York Stock Exchange. And so we had these stories, right? We all have stories of where we were on 9-11.

But when you're there and you saw it firsthand and then you talk to people in the street and they say, we don't actually believe it happened. We don't believe that many people died. It's actually really offensive because you're like, yeah, no, that many people did die. I was there. I saw people jumping out of the buildings. Like, you can't. I'm sorry. It's just a bridge too far. And so I think the other thing that people try to erase is now they're trying to say, well, it wasn't Muslim extremists or it wasn't Islam or what. Yes, it was. Yes, it was. We are not compatible with Islam. We're not. Sorry, not sorry. Somebody has to start to say it because we have to be able to have conversations about what's really happening.

I can promise you if a bunch of Christians were running around and flying planes into buildings and screaming Jesus Christ is king in a threatening and demonic way, we would be able to talk about it. But there's sort of this strange, we can't say anything, it's Islamophobia. No, it's not Islamophobia. It's Islamic fact, period, end of sentence. You want to tell me that a bunch of guys meeting in a mosque in the middle of the day, blocking their cars in the middle of streets, kneeling down?

praising this God and coming out and saying, I can kill any infidel. I can practice taqiyya. I can do whatever. This is happening every day in New York, every single day. So 25 years later, we've got a Muslim mayor with this crazy, you know, chief council advisor, friends with Hassan Piker, who says we deserve 9-11. And he's got, you know, Mahmoud Khalil in his house. I mean, I can go over and over these things again and again, but we are, we've, we're infiltrated. Like the jig is up. We see it. And we're aware.

Full circle, I think if we started to show people the footage of the buildings, the footage of the people that had to choose between burning to death and jumping out of a window at 200 feet, at 400 feet, at a thousand feet, whatever it is, you know, people that collapsed inside of these buildings, the untold stories, the voicemails that were left, maybe then these idiot lunatics that say 9-11 didn't happen or it's a conspiracy or whatever would start to rethink what they're saying, what they're seeing and what they've been told. So here's a little reminder. This is the Palestinians on 9-11 hearing the news that the World Trade Center had been attacked. ...atmosphere, the V sign for victory being displayed in East Jerusalem today among jubilant Palestinians that the United States had been subject to this attack. What are we to make of that, Jennifer? Yasser Arafat may issue this condemnation. Look at this. We're seeing people applauding, clapping, smiling, happy to know that thousands of Americans have died in this sneak attack. And there you see a V for victory sign held up to the camera. What are we to make of that? And what are we to make of what about what Yasser Arafat said today?

The United States blamed by some Palestinians for its ongoing support, as it is seen, of Israel in this conflict, in this Middle Eastern conflict. However, while some Palestinians were taking to the streets in apparent celebration, one youth was quoted as saying as he received a suite, suite handed around in celebration. This is a suite from Osama Bin Laden, he said. Pat Dawson, Pat Dawson, thanks very much. We have some videotape, I understand, that we're going to show you from the West Bank. These are Palestinian celebrations in the wake of Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States.

Apparently, Palestinians took to the street chanting, God is great. People were throwing candy, distributing candy to passers-by. The U.S. government, obviously, has become increasingly unpopular, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, because Palestinians feel that the U.S. government has sided with Israel. One man, Nawal Abdel Fattah, wearing a long black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying, actually, that's a woman, pardon me, saying she was happy because, quote, America is the head of the snake. America always stands by Israel in its war against us. Meanwhile, Yasser Arafat emerged to speak with reporters.

So it's interesting. There's two different reports there, right? That's Katie Keurig speaking. And then we've got Brit Hume and Jennifer Griffin, you know, 25 years ago, obviously. But it's just showing you from two sides of the coin, right? Because we've got various networks that were reporting on it. So it wasn't just one network.

But I think what we learn there and what we're seeing there, and I will tell you firsthand to complete that thought that I have been to Gaza, not to Gaza, but I've been to the West Bank. I have been to Israel and I have seen the Gaza Strip and I have seen what goes on there. And when you are in Israel, it is the democracy of the Middle East. They have every religion. They have the gays. They have the straights. They have the Orthodox Jews. They have the secular Jews. They have the Greek Orthodox. They've got Ukrainian Orthodox. They've got a Catholic church. And then they've got mosques.

They've got them all together. Then you look across and you see one very, very distinct detail, and it is filth. It is dirty, and it is unkept, and it is unclean. And the reason why is because the people that run East Jerusalem, what they hope would be their two-state solution, but in their opinion, they only want one state, but they want it to all be Palestine, right? What they're looking for and what they have are two different things, because the people that run it use all the money for war, money that was given in many of the agreements over the last hundred years.

And when you see that they've used all that money, not for electricity, not for tunnels for running water, not for irrigation so that they can create some sort of produce and have something out there in the desert, none of that. What they have done is they have spent it on weapons, on tunnels to go under Israel so that they can attack people in the dead of night. Their entire existence is to kill. And not only is it to kill, it's to kill in the name of Allah. If you listen there, you can hear children screaming, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, God is great, God is great. And why are they screaming God is great? Because people got murdered. That's what they're cheering about.

I just, I don't see any other religion walking down the street, screaming, whatever it is, whatever their, you know, Jesus Christ is king, God is great, you know, whatever it is. You don't see that from any other religion. You only see it from Islam. Islam is not compatible with anything else because Islam is a religion of dominance and control. And that's all they believe. And that's all they've been taught their entire existence. And so when we look at tape like that, which is the immediate reaction that we see.

to a mass murder in another country. Meanwhile, how many of our tax dollars are going to USAID to be funneled over, to be stolen, and then we are literally funding a war against ourselves because of all the corrupt politicians that take all the money and funnel it right back into the very people who want to kill us. It never ceases to amaze me how the money and the oil and the energy wars, how it all comes down to one group of people who really don't care about the pawns in the party. They care about power and they care about their own profit and control. Period. End of sentence. So 25 years later.

I still get totally and completely broken when I hear some of the things that are happening, when I look at some of the things that are happening, when I see the complete and utter lack of knowledge about something that's only two decades old. I can't imagine with these people that are being, you know, man on the street questions that they're getting all over New York City today at these, you know, memorials. And they're asking them, you know, why are you protesting today? They don't know. It's literally the same thing as Antifa or BLM or any of these other, you know, LGBTQ, trans, I'm an idiot groups. It doesn't matter. They are all the same. They were hired. They were given a sign and they go out and they march. And I saw it today. I saw a...

transvestite, dressed up in like a, some sort of like S&M outfit outside of the memorial, tearing pages out of the Bible. And I thought to myself, what the hell does that have to do with the 9-11 memorial service on the 25th anniversary? What, what purpose does this serve for you? What void are you filling? I don't know. I don't, I really don't, but I can tell you.

that I'm really sick of seeing people that are peacefully and very professionally demonstrating if there is such a thing. Like what I saw today with these people that were down there and they were protesting Miramamdani being there. And it really hurts your heart to see the police because they can push them back, pushing them back. And then you see the other groups, right? All screaming, Allahu Akbar and God is great. America sucks. Down with America. Could you guys just leave? We'd love you to go. We'll pay for you to leave. That I think is the general consensus of most people.

And unfortunately, many of our reporters, many of our news broadcasters, many of our networks are either unwilling or unable to speak truthfully about what is happening. And what eventually will happen is it'll be too late. You'll be trying to broadcast. You'll be trying to explain. You'll be trying to move forward. But the war is going to be on our ground. They're not going to wait for us to take it over to the Middle East. They're not going to wait for us to put any more of our men and women in harm's way. They're going to bring it here. They're going to come after the regular people. I say, let's see how tough Antifa is when we get invaded and when that stuff comes to our front doorstep. And then we'll see how peaceful they are.

And then we'll understand, oh, you want to take migrants in? You want to take illegal immigrants in? You want to assimilate and just let you become like them as opposed to them become like us? Yeah, sure. Let's see how that works out. I think it's going to be a very unsuccessful project and a very short-lived project of that. I want to take a minute here before we close out today. I have these stories that I printed out. They don't have any video or audio, but I think they're really important stories to tell. And I just have a couple of them. There's so many, honestly, that I read all day today. And my heart hurts when I think about it because...

These are people that gave up their lives. These are people that never saw their loved ones again. These are people whose wives were pregnant. These are women who were pregnant with their little babies and their husbands at home never saw them or their unborn child. All because of Islam.

And there's this one guy. His name is Rick Rescorla. And he was the head of security for Morgan Stanley. And he was at Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center when the 1993 attack happened. And he implemented fire drills, evacuation drills. He had this megaphone. He was born in Cornwall, ironically. And he would sing these Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone as he got people out of the building. And of course, people hate fire drills and they hate doing all this stuff. But anyways, and he would tell all of his employees in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you.

No matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, leave the building. So when they, he had always said that he thought there would be another attack. And then on September 11th, we had one. And when the North Tower was hit, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower speaker system, do not leave the building. The area is secure. And he ignored them. And he said, you know what? We're getting out of here and we're evacuating. Not in that same language, but you get the point. And so he gets all of these people out and he was singing his corner songs on his megaphone.

After he had gotten over 2,000 people out, he went back and he looked for survivors, but he called his wife first and he said, stop crying. I have to get these people out for safety. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know that I've never been happier. You made my life. And he went back into the tower. And that was the last time anybody saw him alive. All but six of the Morgan Stanley employees survived. 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees survived because he got them out. Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would have all died. But they listened to Rick.

And he was one of those six that gave up his life. Those are the stories that you don't hear about when you've got douchebags like this little loser screaming Allahu Akbar today. He's getting all of the notoriety today. But Rick Rascorla saved over 2,500 people because he didn't listen to everybody else and he got them all out safely. There's another woman I want to talk to you about. Her name is Benny Ong. She was a flight attendant on Flight 11 for American Airlines. And she actually called and gave information back to the tower. And she was able to give in hijackers seat numbers, crucial details about them.

so that they could later on figure out what happened and who they were. So of her last moments of life, Betty Young called and saved as many people as she could because she knew that her flight was going the wrong way and was going to hurt somebody. She didn't know what was happening, obviously. She knew that they had these five hijackers on the plane and had no idea what would happen next. But instead of waiting and trying to figure out what to do next, she made a call and said, here's what I know so far. I'm going to give you what I know because I don't know how much longer we all have.

Last person we'll talk about today is Father Michael Fallon Judge. And on September 11th, he rushed from his friary at St. Francis of Assisi Church to the World Trade Center. He entered the lobby of the North Tower and he refused to leave while first responders were made inside. And he spent his final moments praying for the victims inside the towers. He did not leave the towers alive. These are the stories that I think could bear repeating. And it would be great to have...

A little bit of awareness and a little bit of recognition for those people. My heart breaks for their families. My heart breaks for those who never got to hear their loved ones again and only have a recording if they got that. So many people didn't. They never got to say goodbye. I think that kind of emptiness and not having the closure is really heartbreaking. And I'm just one person, but I pray for them. And I hope that they have found some peace over the last 25 years knowing that their loved ones are in a better place because this place is disgusting. That's for sure.

On 9-11, I hope that everybody takes a moment to remember those who died and to pray that it never happens again and to also pray that we have the wisdom that if and when it does, we're prepared, because I certainly think it's going to. This is Linda McLaughlin. It's 9-11, 25 years later. I want to thank you for listening. You can see more of my shows and hear more of my shows at Linda Mc at the Rogue Recap, roguerecap.com.
