[Michael Charbonne]

interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show

[Show Announcer]

in America on air and on the World Wide Web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is T minus one day till Friday. Hi. Welcome to it, kids. You know, I just heard a news story and somebody was describing the, the SAVE act and, and they said this is common sense legislation that Americans want. And then I realized, oh my God, that's why the Democrats are opposed to it, because it's common sense. You see, you may Recall back in 2024, I said that this election was about turning things back to common sense from nonsense. The Democrats spew nonsense. That's what they do. That's what they do. And yesterday, oddly enough, the, the Mark Moyn Mullen DHS nomination hearings became all and keeping ICE agents away from polling places because the Democrat party is so freaked the hell out about us exposing and destroying their theft of elections by using illegals and loading them up with all sorts of free bows and whatnot. And they also see the Trump revolution continuing and growing by leaps and bounds. Did you see the poll yesterday? You know Harry Enton, the guy from cnn who sounds like an old timey baseball announcer? He does. He sounds like an old timey. It's like, ladies and gentlemen, you won't believe it. My God. Oh my God. MEGA is doing well and he's around in third base and he's going home. He sounds just like an old timey baseball announcer. But you know, when it comes to MAGA followers and MAGA support, there has never been a political movement in American history that has garnered this kind of support. All right, listen.

[Statistician/Analyst]

And this is one of those, because just take a look here. MAGA, GOP view of Trump approve 100%. 100%. You are a member of MAGA and the GOP. You approve of Donald John Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. This is why Marjorie Taylor Greene and all these other, you know, Tucker Carlson and they, they're. They're gone because, you know, they're trying to say, oh, yeah, maga's really falling apart. Maga's really. Are you high? The more you do that, the more we go, oh, no, we are committed to this movement. Absolutely. 100%.

[Statistician/Analyst]

0% say that they disapprove. You don't have to be a mathematical genius. You can't go higher than 100%.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Because if it's a percentage, 100 is everything. 99 is 1 less than everything. For you Democrats who are listening, he

[Statistician/Analyst]

is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Now, there are some Republicans who disapprove of Donald John Trump, but they don't

[Rob Carson]

mean D word for Richard.

[Statistician/Analyst]

Are not members of the Make America Great Again.

[Rob Carson]

Did you hear that? Did you hear that? So Marjorie Taylor Greene, not a member of the Made it Make America Great Again coalition. She never was. You ever notice her eyes are real close together? That should give you an idea that maybe not the most. Lot of stuff going on upstairs.

[Statistician/Analyst]

The bottom line is this. If you are a member of maga, you approve of Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

See, there's nothing you can do about it. You mean, you try all you want. You can say that maga's falling apart. Last week they were saying, oh, yeah, this war in Iran, this is, you know, this whatever the hell you want to call a military action. It is causing the MAGA coalition to fall apart. Let me see if you got 100% support. That means you're not exactly falling apart. It's interesting, though, because there have been a couple prominent people who have sort of come out online, and they're very mad about this war with Iran because he promised no new wars. Is there any sign that people might be leaving MAGA relative to. Did you not just hear what he said? 20, 24.

[Statistician/Analyst]

Yeah. Okay, so, you know, I've said it before, and, you know, the theme of this segment is Tucker Carlson be darned. And when we be darned, look at the numbers. I mean, I've heard some people say, oh, you know what? When you look at those MAGA numbers, it doesn't account for those who might have left MAGA. But take a look here, Americans who identify as MAGA. In November of 2024, it was 28% of Americans. Now it's basically the same. If anything, it's slightly higher.

[Rob Carson]

It went up. The number of MAGA Americans is now higher at 30%.

[Statistician/Analyst]

The bottom line is this.

[Rob Carson]

What do they call Biden's. What do they call Biden? Followers? Like I don't even know. Brain deads. I don't even know. Zombies. Zombies.

[Statistician/Analyst]

MAGA base within the GOP is not.

[Rob Carson]

He didn't have 100% support.

[Statistician/Analyst]

It's the same size. If anything, it is slightly larger than it was back in 2024 when of course, Donald Trump won a second term. So that 100% that Donald Trump has approval among MAGA GOP, that is not an artifact of MAGA shrinking. It's just an indication of how strong the Donald Trump's grip is on that MAGA base.

[Rob Carson]

100%. Because, you know, we've never seen anybody like this before. We've never seen somebody go to Washington D.C. and do what we ask him to do. And we've never seen the deep state go after somebody like this. Trying to put him in jail, impeaching him twice, raiding his home for the first time in history, you know, then of course trying to take him off the ballot. And then, you know, these, these political trials where they tried to take away his fortune and throw him in jail for 700 years. Then they tried to murder him a couple times. You see, we get it. We what's going on here. That's why we're gonna support this man and he's doing a great job. And the rest of you can kma.

[Show Announcer]

Supreme Court just ruled for me. Injunctions now a history. The market just hit an all time high. Told NATO they must be fair. They've got to pay a bigger share. I caught CNN and another lie do that every night. I made a trade deal with China. Yes, it was quite a treme.

[Rob Carson]

We took out Maduro.

[Show Announcer]

I have a question that I'd like to ask you. Your answer is something I seek.

[Rob Carson]

Close the border.

[Show Announcer]

How do you like me now?

[Rob Carson]

100%.

[Show Announcer]

How do you like me now? Now that I'm on a roll I'm sure that I'll be surging in each and every pole broker to ceasefire. People ask me how. Look at what we've done. How do you like me now?

[Rob Carson]

By the way, doing a brilliant job.

[Show Announcer]

How do you like me now?

[Rob Carson]

He's. He's pretty incredible guy, right? You know, I used to write for Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh Talent on loan from God. And Jim Gossett is better than anybody ever worked with, so he's fantastic. Here is Victor Davis Hansen. He's just a brilliant, brilliant guy talking about what we're experiencing right now. If you don't understand what's happening here, it is a counter revolution against a massively corrupt, bloated bureaucracy that is committed more abuses and usurpations than the founders would have ever imagined.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

We're watching the greatest counter revolution in some 90 years. We have not seen any president try to radically change the political calculus and the nature of government since.

[Rob Carson]

Well, Barack Obama did, but he tried to make it into a Maoist communist revolution. Didn't work, doctor did it?

[Victor Davis Hanson]

From the left during the New deal of the mid-1930s. And what do I mean by that? Donald Trump closed the border. He's basically declared war on DEI and he's winning that argument. Abroad we see that Iran no longer poses a nuclear threat for the immediate future. The universities are rushing and competing with each other to cut a deal with Donald Trump. Trump is winning on all of these social and cultural issues. What he's trying to do is tell the American people that the left exercises even when they do not control government.

[Rob Carson]

Now, I want you to listen to this because, you know, I've been talking to you about how the, the Democrat Party, the left, is doing a death spiral into hell, dying like movie vampires, lashing out, lashing out, you know, clawing, scratching, trying to drag you into hell with them. Listen to Victor Davis Hansen, you know, echoing yours truly.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

Any branch of government, and they exercise power even though on most of the issues, if not all of them, their constituency is only 40%.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

The majority of the American people oppose their agenda. We're going to see in the next year a frenzy, a frantic, almost out of mind reaction from the left because

[Rob Carson]

they know that's been going on for a while. ICE are Nazis. ICE is Gestapo. Donald Trump is a Nazi. Donald Trump is a fascist. Oh my God. Oh my God. Maga Fascist enemies that if this counter

[Victor Davis Hanson]

revolution succeeds, it'll be very difficult for them to push down an unpopular agenda down the throat of the American people. So brace yourself. We're looking at the resistance coming up to the counter revolution and it's going to be fierce and unhinged.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it already is. It already is. And nobody said this was going to be easy. It hasn't been easy for 10 years. And nobody said it was going to be over when Donald Trump was elected. And it took a yeoman's Effort, an incredible effort to get Donald Trump in office. It took an incredible effort to get past all of the lawsuits and the legal system and the FBI and the D.C. dHS and all of these agencies of government, the IRS going after Donald Trump, leaking, you know, confidential stuff about Donald Trump, his tax returns, surveilling members of Congress, surveilling MAGA Republicans. Unbelievable what this deep state did. It was essentially the November election was our Berlin Wall moment. And right now, it's exposed what was behind that wall. And it's filthy, rotten, stinking, bloody, corrupt. More than we could have ever imagined. More than you could ever imagine. Now it all makes sense why when Elon Musk created Doge and he. And he stood on stage at CPAC last year with a chainsaw and the left went nuts and started calling him a Nazi when he just wanted to cut government waste, he wanted to cut government waste, fraud and abuse. And that's the problem, because our government is based on it. Our government is completely invested in it. Mostly Democrats, some Republicans, completely. This is their grift. They are the bourgeois. We are the proletariat. The bourgeois is not going to go quietly, but by God, they're going to go. All right, there you go. I got a whole bunch of stuff on the show today. We got guests. We got new comedy from Jim Gossett. We're going to be talking about the Save act next. This is the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere.

[Show Announcer]

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com listen for details.

[Statistician/Analyst]

And this is one of those, because just take a look here. MAGA GOP view of Trump approve 100%. 100%. If you are a member of MAGA and the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump, 0% say that they disapprove. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than 100%.

[Michael Charbonne]

I know.

[Rob Carson]

And remember last week they were saying the MAGA coalition was crumbling. I love this. I just love it. This is why I say that this movement for making America great again and turning back the evil that had really taken over our government and the world to some degree, is a godly movement. It's a godly movement. And, you know, I'm not saying Donald Trump is a holy figure, but at the same time, you know, certainly somebody who represents the people and wants to make the country great again. And hopefully the Democrat Party will eventually understand that they'd be better off coming up with real solutions rather than just hating on Donald Trump. Because that's what's going to happen. They're going to have to do that or they're going to be driven into the dustbin of history, as I like to say. This is Dan Bongino. You know, lately you hear the Democrats lashing out. They don't go, you know, attack Donald Trump necessarily. They attack Stephen Miller, they attack Tulsi Gabbard, they attack these cabinet members and whatnot. And Dan Bongino says it's because they, they don't have any testicular fortitude.

[Sean (Guest)]

Sean, this is, this is cowardly by these people who you mentioned who are doing this, because what they do is they call out Donald Trump's entire cabinet and circle of friends and advisers, but

[Rob Carson]

they never, you know, like Pete Hex was a war criminal out Trump.

[Sean (Guest)]

Cuz they know they'll get crushed like a bug. They know it. And then the grift dries up, then the money dries up. So what they do is because they have no balls. You say it again, no balls. Grow a pair. They don't want to take them on directly because he will crush them. So they go about attacking everyone else. They do this all the time. And this, I call this the Donald Trump has no agency theory. Like, Donald Trump doesn't have the ability to think for himself. You know him longer than I have. I had the pleasure of working for him. You don't know jack squat about this

[Rob Carson]

guy if you wanted to. And I got to tell you, there are days that I kind of wonder how he does this because I get very upset a lot of the times. I watched those hearings yesterday and watching these Democrats behave like complete morons. And you got the news media telling you the war is, you know, epic fury is a failure and all this. And it gets to be a little bit much. But oddly enough, that guy in the White House, have you ever seen him shaken? Have you ever seen him shaken? I mean, it is remarkable to me. I don't know, you know, you got a guy who was shot, nearly murdered in a field in Pennsylvania, you know, grazed by a bullet, and he stood up and raised his fist and said, fight, fight, fight. Tell me that there's not something going on there. There's something, something beyond us doing that. Because most would go, yike, yike, yike, I'm not going to run anymore, I'm dropping out of the race. It is, honestly, it's more than I could have expected from him. And, and I think it also is a metaphorical for you and me because of what we've been through, you know, and many of us have lost family members and friends because of politics. They can't stand us. We've been ostracized in many ways. And look how we've come together. That's why, you know, Kerry Hinton said that we're 100% in favor of Donald Trump, which means that we are 100% behind each other.

[Michael Charbonne]

Right?

[Rob Carson]

We are. We are. We're 100% behind each other. I can, I can feel it. You know, that's why I moved to Washington, D.C. because we fought battles after battles after battles together. And I came here because I wanted to experience this history and look at all the things that are happening that are just a ferial 250th year of our birth, and Donald Trump is in office. You've got, you know, all sorts of amazing things happening. The southern border is closed. We got us men's and women's gold. And then the, the Quadra Quadriplegic games, whatever, the paraplegic games. I'm drawing a blank on the name of the games. But the men's hockey team there wins the gold. And, and there's just a lot of things that are happening that are, are crazy and serendipitous. You've got the Venezuela, the dictator Maduro is out of Venezuela. You got Cuba on the brink of falling and being free. You've got now Iran on the, on the cusp of maybe turning back. 47 years of absolute terror. You've got peace in the Middle east growing by leaps and bounds. You've got. Is anybody talking about Hamas anymore? Is anybody talking about Hamas anymore? You know, I mean, guys, we're witnessing amazing things. And if, you know, if that guy in the White House suffering all those slings and arrows is not freaking out and collapsing, you shouldn't either. That's why I say we got to overwhelm them with joy and patriotism. There you go. I'll handle the mockery, ridicule and satire and then let Donald Trump handle the butt kicking. How's that sound? Here's Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War. What is it good for? Well, kicking Iran's butt, that's what it's good for. He's addressing the audience, looking past the media that has been lying about Operation Epic Fury.

[Donald Trump (Speech)]

I stand here today speaking to you, the American people, not through filters, not through reporters, not through cable news spin a dishonest and anti Trump press will stop at nothing. Yeah, we know this.

[Rob Carson]

At this point, they're complaining because I guess the Trump administration is wanting $200 billion to cover the cost of this and the mop up and all of that stuff. And they're screeching about it was trending on Twitter. We spent like $300 billion on Ukraine and a good share of that money was spent on boats and mansions on the Riviera. We have no accounting for $300 billion, even though it was not our conflict

[Donald Trump (Speech)]

to downplay progress, amplify every cost and call into question every step. Sadly, TDS is in their DNA.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah, big time.

[Donald Trump (Speech)]

They want President Trump to fail.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, they do.

[Donald Trump (Speech)]

But you, the American people, know better.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump (Speech)]

Yes, there are reporters in front of me, but they are not our audience today. It's you. The good, decent, patriotic American people.

[Rob Carson]

Isn't that kind of weird? He's kind of like echoing what I just said in that little monologue I just did there, right? It's kind of, it's kind of crazy, right? We are, we're in this together. It's okay. We're gonna be okay. You know, we are good and decent people. We're giving people we love. Our country as founded. We recognize that it's the greatest country, the greatest engine of individual and economic freedom in the history of mankind. There's no doubt about that, by the way. There's no doubt about it. Like I've told you this before, Paris and London existed for over a thousand years. And when our country was founded, they were still using the streets as a latrine. Okay? Ben Franklin flies a kite, discovers electricity. The rest is history. Then we invented radio, Then we invented television. Then we invented the airplane. Then we invented, you know, the rocket. And then we, then we invented blue jays. Then we, we blew up the entire world with rock and roll. And then we had jazz. Well, before that, jazz, blues, bluegrass, country, hip hop, R and B. You know, I can go on and on. The greatest engine of individual and economic history in the history of mankind. People come from all over the world. We are a melting pot. We've always been a melting pot. Our ancestors are from other countries who left those countries because they knew this was a land of opportunity. There you go, man. I'm getting all sorts patriotic here today. I think we needed it a little bit.

[Michael Charbonne]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

Coming up, we got Michael Charbone from Canada. Canada is a BLEEP show supreme. We'll get into that with in the next break. And then we're going to talk a little bit about this save act. And John Kennedy has a solution for it, by the way. He says we don't need 60 votes. All we need is 50 and the VP and, and oddly enough, Nancy Pelosi said the same thing in 2024. Literally serving it up on a platter. Okay, we can get this thing passed. I think it sounds good. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington D.C. area, which is like sleeping on the the sponge in your sink. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment. Beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghostbed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging, it's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed, you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson. You are gonna love your new Ghostbeau. Take off to the great white door. Take off. It's a beauty. Way to go. That music of course signifies and introduces the great Michael Charbonne, the host of the Charbonne Report live from Canada. How are you my friend?

[Michael Charbonne]

I'm doing great, Rob. You've been just lighting up the radio. I just love listening to you, man. You've got the heartbeat of America going. And I'm not talking about your engine, I'm talking about your opinions. Great job, brother. Great job.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that's all I need to hear. Michael, we'll talk to you next week. So just real quick here, Michael, you know I'm very concerned about your self esteem as a Canadian. You got a lot of challenges up there. And you had the men's and women's American hockey teams beat the Canadians in the in the final over in overtime. Both of them get gold medal. Then you had the Paralympics here and the US Men's beat the Canadians. Is there a peewee hockey international tournament coming up? Maybe you should be a little nervous about that one.

[Michael Charbonne]

You know Rob, I think we can accept defeat in a very nice Way the situation is, we were two great teams and when it goes to overtime, anything can happen. And the best team won. So I'm a little disappointed, I have to say I'm a little disappointed that Canadians were not as excited to welcome everybody back with a silver medal because everybody thinks Canada only gets gold.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I guess so, I guess, yeah. Every year. There's this guy I've been watching on online. His name's Peter Saintonge and a very interesting cat. I want you to hear what he has to say. I mean, I've just been kind of following him lately on the, on the social. He does these wonderful commentaries. Here's his thoughts on Canada's economy.

[Peter Saintonge]

Canada just lost 84,000 jobs in a single month. In U. S. Terms, that is almost 800,000 jobs in a month. That goes on top of losing 25,000 jobs in the previous month, January, which is another quarter million in US terms. Of course, 96% were private sector jobs over the two months. Government workers are doing just fine. Meanwhile, a new study found over half of Canadians have to borrow money for groceries, including buy now, pay later and payday loans.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. That was like America during Joe Biden. Are things is. I mean, they sound pretty dire. You've got people moving from America because they have TDS finding when they move to Canada. Rent is so much higher, groceries are so much higher. You can't make a living, you can't, you can't have a job just by moving to Canada. Among other things. But, but how are things. And I'm not making light of this at all. I don't like it when people suffer. We went through the same damn thing when Joe Biden was the president. Go ahead.

[Michael Charbonne]

No, no, it's very true. We are in a situation now where we believe that we may be in slight depression.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Michael Charbonne]

The economy shows us that we are losing jobs. We also can see that the birth rate is down. There's a lot of factors that are happening. The tariffs in the auto industry are not helping us. And unfortunately our debt still remains. We have one of the highest debt in the GDP. Sorry. In the G7 we have the lowest growth. And yes, trying to rent somewhere is a huge challenge. We have a million people per month are going to food banks here. Fortunately, I think Canadians voted for liberals instead of a conservative government that would have had a more realistic point of view and cut some things. But again, unfortunately, Canada didn't see the light. And I think the silent majority of conservatives. Rob, are very disappointed at this point.

[Rob Carson]

What about Alberta? I mean, Is it gaining momentum? They're wanting to secede. Is it gaining momentum? Because I gotta tell you, I'd want to get the hell out.

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, let's first understand that Alberta had been taken advantage of for some time because of its oil riches and had carbon tax put on them. So they're using the secession key as a blackmail tool if you wish. And they have to get, I think it's 600,000 signatures before it could be put on the ballot. There is a very good likelihood that it may enter on the ballot because there's a lot of people who are upset. Also, if you look at the amount of taxes and the amount of money that the province of Alberta pays to the government of Canada, it is much larger than many other provinces, which is not fair. So.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, of course it is. Of course it is. It sounds like Canada is a one big California is what it sounds like. I mean these are the same policies, these are the same policies that are causing people to leave, you know, the New York and, and California among the other places. Kathy Hochul yesterday said that it's your patriotic duty to come back to New York and pay higher taxes and regulations, you know, to, to, to continue the generous, generous welfare state come back from Florida. Like that's gonna happen. I mean, give me a friggin break. But I got another piece of audio I want to share with you. Cause you know, listen is I even do show prep for your show. Dude, when I have you on, I do show prep for you. Isn' crazy. It's kind of crazy because I have no life. I have no life. Here is the speaker at the, the Empire Club of Canada. They are doubling down on what the United States completely rejected and that is EVs embrace the vision that we are and we will continue to build the best cars in the world for the world.

[Michael Charbonne]

World.

[Rob Carson]

And what I mean by that is we're doubling down on electrification because that's where capital is going in the world. No, it's not actually. It did a face plant here in the United States. And if I'm not mistaken, Canada gets pretty cold in the wintertime and EVs are worthless in the wintertime. I'm honestly. What the heck there, Michael. What the heck.

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, just consider that Carney decided that he was going to accept 49,000 Chinese EV vehicles. What the heck do you think that's going to do to our autopilot between Windsor and Canada? And also when you consider what the heck does Alberta have oil? What does the United States have oil? Do you think that the internal combustion engine is going to die.

[Sean (Guest)]

Not.

[Michael Charbonne]

And also, if you consider the cost of an EV vehicle, the general family can't afford it. So it's a ridiculous percentage.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I just saw there was a school district in New Jersey, they had these EV school buses. And it turns out with a diesel school bus, it's 35 cents a mile. With an EV school bus, particularly in the winter, it's $3.50 a bloody mile to run that stupid bus. And honestly, there was a. There's a time and a place for EVs. I get it. There is a time and a place for EVs. They're just never going to be hauling, you know, tractor trailers. They're not going to be in colder climates. They don't perform very well. And that's just the way it is. But Canada doesn't get it.

[Michael Charbonne]

And John. What we have to understand, Rob, is that the market should determine what happens. You can't force the market. If you could make EVs more inexpensive, smaller, less insurance cost, and that after 100,000 miles you don't have to replace the batteries at a cost of 15 or $20,000, then maybe you can make it more economical.

[Rob Carson]

And then also you forgot to mention that, you know, maybe you got to have a power source to charge the battery. And that's outside of the car. Now all an EV is, it is, has a battery. That's it. The power has to be made in a gas, natural gas plant, a nuclear plant or a coal fired plant. That's just the way it is. That's why it's so stupid. Michael, plug in EVs. Plug in EVs are good because you use, I know this is old cars. You use deceleration and braking to charge the battery, but you have a gas engine to rely on, so that's a much better choice.

[Michael Charbonne]

Electrical grid. Neither do you. In the States you don't have the electrical grid to accommodate that. That's why in California they were saying they were stopping selling EVs because they couldn't help it, because they had brownouts all the time.

[Rob Carson]

100%. Nothing worse than a brownout. All right, so coming up, we got a bunch of things that I want to get to, including Poliev calling for auto terror Free zone. Pro Trump demonstrators clashing with anti Semitic demonstrators in Montre all and Katy Perry and soy boy Justin Trudeau on the other side of the break with Michael Charbon on the Rob Carson Show.

More with Michael Sharbon of the Charbonne Report in just one moment. Michael A. Charbone. That's C h a r b o n on on Twitter. Gold is becoming more affordable for you this week. $4,592. So $4,600 for an ounce of gold right now, that of course was worth 2600 a year and a half ago. So you're still $2000 per ounce ahead of where it was. A lot of instability in the world right now means that gold is giving you an opportunity to buy in while it's a little bit low before it begins its its stratospheric rise for the last couple of years. Central banks are buying gold. I bought gold. I don't have a lot of money to, you know, just throw around. So I wanted to choose a great investment. I listened to Birch Gold, the company that I invest in and I and I decided to take that money and do something with it because it was just laying there in a 401k like Joe Biden on a, on a beach chair. Just doing nothing. Just doing nothing. You know, just laying there. Wasn't exactly like Joe Biden. It wasn't pooping its pants, but it was just laying there. So I said, you know what? I'm going to call birds gold. I texted my name, Rob to 98989. I did. I'm not screwing around either. I'm not screwing around. I texted my name, Rob to 989898. They got in touch with me and then I did the whole deal just like you do And I got somebody on for my 401k. Got somebody on for Burch Gold. They talked to each other. I was on the phone going, hey, I'm over here. They're like talking to each other, you know, oh, yeah, whatever, Rob Carson. Who cares? Anyway, so they got it done. Boom, Transferred the money. I got in. I think I got in like $4,500, which is perfect because it was 5,600 in January. And we're off to the races. Text my name, Rob to 989-898 for some no obligation information about investing in gold. And buy while it's low Birch gold. Text rob to 989-898. That's rob to 989-898. You know, Michael Charbone of the Charbonne Report. I got to tell you, I'm very proud of the people of Canada. You guys kind of whizzed on the trucker protests in Ottawa way back in 2020. Canadians have been joining global protests in solidarity with Iranian freedom. Like 350,000 people in Toronto earlier this year. And so it sounds like, you know, it's. That's pretty cool. I just want to congratulate the country of Canada for doing that.

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, Rob, I got to say that there are a silent majority in Canada that is very alarmed at the anti Semitic demonstrations which include a Palestinian flag and radical Islamists who are saying that the Iranian regime and the ayatollah was good. There are many Canadians who are alarmed. We don't want to descend down the same route that the UK is descending on. And there are many people in the Judeo Christian society of Canada that is alarmed, and this is not a good thing.

[Rob Carson]

Well, so are we, dude. I mean, it's happening in New York City. It's happening in Texas. It's happening here. This is a global move, and we've got to kick its butt before it goes any further. But it's happened in Europe already.

[Michael Charbonne]

Freedom of speech. Freedom of speech says that everybody is allowed to express their opinion. What it descended to in the UK now with the police knocking on your door in a social post.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know.

[Michael Charbonne]

It's gone too far. And now they're saying that they're going to pass a law that criticism of religions can also put you in jail. This is where we have to draw a line.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I swear to God.

[Michael Charbonne]

I know many Iranians who came here in the 1980s and are absolutely crying every day hoping that their family and friends will come to a democracy because Donald Trump saved their family's life. And that's the reality of it.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you've got, we got the same dynamic going. You've got people who are moving into your country, are not assimilating and are trying to convert your government into something that they want, which is Sharia. Let's move on. On. Polyev is calling for an auto free tariff zone. What is that all about, bro?

[Michael Charbonne]

So you know what, I said this on your show, I'm going to say two and a half years ago and you concur. Canada has basically the United States buys 90% of all Canada's cars. Canadians buy twice as many cars as we manufacture. So guess where we're buying cars from? The US If Canada and the United States says we have an auto free zone, we are already so integrated. Gm, Ford, Chrysler, I mean even from the standpoint of making parts just in time, parts across the border, I think it's over a million dollars a day that crosses the border in Windsor because we are integrated. Yes, but let sense of this, Let

[Rob Carson]

me make a predict, let me, let me make a prediction for you. If Polyev becomes your prime minister, Trump is going to drop all this, bro. He's going to. I have no doubt that he's putting the heavy on Canada right now because of the jack weed you've got in charge.

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, you know what, Rob, I can't answer that question. I'm going to tell you every time we talk about election, it looks like the conservatives are finally going to take, I don't know what happens to Canada. Like I said, it's like Groundhog Day. And then the Liberals get back in again and delivers our spend deficit.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Michael Charbonne]

Hold hands and sing Kumbaya and don't hold people accountable. We can't do that anymore. And Donald Trump is showing the way about conservatism and realistic budgeting. Now I must say, unfortunately, Rob, your deficit went up. I hope that Donald Trump's going to take care of you.

[Rob Carson]

I do too.

[Michael Charbonne]

After all this Iran businesses.

[Rob Carson]

All right, we got to, we got to wrap things up. One more thing here. You mentioned Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. I guess she likes soy boys, right? I mean honestly, dear God, what kind of a man is Justin Trudeau? He probably rides sidesaddle when they ride a bike. He probably rides on the handlebars.

[Michael Charbonne]

So he's got three kids and Katy Perry has one. She's 41 years old, he's 54. Here's the perfect scenario of liberals, private airlines posting stuff on Instagram all cutie, cutie. It's the best stuff to look at if you're on a diet you don't want to eat. That's the way.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Just say, you know, I, I, if I were a woman, I, I would want a man who could actually open a jelly jar. Not, not rely on yourself to do it. Honestly. Unbelievable. Michael Sharpone always have to great you always that great to have you on, brother. Where can people find your glorious presence online and on television?

[Michael Charbonne]

Glorious presence, Michael Hbone.com I'm also on YouTube at the Charbone Report and it's always a pleasure to be with you, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

All right. Well, we'll talk again soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Chris Stapleton. Chris Stapleton. Oh my goodness. So good, so good, so good. One of the many artists that I love to listen to. I've got a lot of great, great artists. Great artists. I lost my voice there for a second going on. Anyway, we got a lot of things I want to get to before the, the end of the show. I think we're going to talk about the save act after top of next hour. There's a lot of stuff going on there and people are, you know, Donald Trump since of Operation Epic Fury, which is one of the most successful military campaigns in the history of our country and the history of the world, absolutely annihilating a formerly powerful military. It is an amazing thing that has happened. And the left is so they want Donald Trump defeated even if it means another, another generation of Iranian women living in bondage. Even if it means the ayatollah is still being in power. That's how wrong sided the left and the Democrats are. Here is Stephen Miller, one of my favorite guys. It's Miller Time talking about our success.

[Stephen Miller]

This is a conflict that is only days long.

[Rob Carson]

I love the way this guy talks.

[Stephen Miller]

The United States has achieved its objectives even faster than anybody thought possible.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Stephen Miller]

President Trump was aware of and has calculated through.

[Rob Carson]

I've never been prouder of our military. I mean, I've always been proud of our military, but man, oh man, oh man, you should be proud of yourself.

[Stephen Miller]

Every permutation and every degree of strategy, this has been by far the most overwhelming victory based on the objectives. So in other words, victory over the Navy, victory over the Air Force, victory over the missile launchers in terms of each individual military objective ahead of schedule.

[Rob Carson]

Boom.

[Stephen Miller]

So that's where we are right now.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Stephen Miller]

And again, the president has victory, very wisely, very intelligently created maximum leverage for the United States by building up our energy independence as we engage in this conflict. But just imagine, Laura, just think through this for a second. If Iran had long range missiles, if Iran had thousands more missiles that they could aim at Europe and the United States and our bases and they were as powerful as they were going to be under the Obama deal, who had a nuclear weapon and the ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Stephen Miller]

Then the whole world would be at the mercy of this terrorist regime.

[Rob Carson]

And guess what? NATO was on board. Here's the chairman of NATO talking about how they're going to keep Hormuz open

[NATO Chairman]

of the ballistic missiles of the nuclear capability is severely degraded.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[NATO Chairman]

When it comes to the Strait of Hormuz, I've been in contact with many allies. What we all agree, of course, that strait has to open up again. And what I know is that allies are working together, discussing how to do that, what is the best way to do it. They're working on that collectively to find a way forward.

[Rob Carson]

Even the elites, even the NATO, even the EU and all that. They want to be on the right side of history because it's going very, very well. And I just hope and pray that there is freedom for the people of Iran and they can return to a time that women could actually earn a living and be free and Iran could experience capitalism and freedom and the Persian people could. Could to fulfill their. Their possibilities because they're amazing people. They are. They're really awesome. All right, we got another hour of the show. Actually two more hour. Number two is next. Don't go anywhere.
