[Rob Carson]

Hold it.

[Tim Voltz]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny.

[Rob Schmidt]

Show in America on air and on the World Wide web. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. It's out on every three of the of the show. And what a show we've had so far. A lot of really good news happening in the world. A lot of really amazing economic news happening in the United States. This is, this is CNBC.

[Rob Schmidt]

Nonfarm payrolls for January coming in twice expectations at 130,000. 130K. That would be the juiciest going back to April of last year when it was 150.

[Rob Carson]

And the number of government jobs is at an all time low, at least in a few decades. And guess what? That's okay. You just got to find another job. There you go.

[Rob Schmidt]

8. Now if we look at a couple of months worth of revision, they came in at minus 17,000. Now let's look for average hourly earnings month over month up 4 10. That's 1/10 higher than both booking back and looking forward 410 would equal October last year. You are all the way back to the summer of 24 to find a higher month over month earnings number.

[Rob Carson]

Let's pretty cool. And then a lot of people are getting their, their income tax returns. People who tipped income and working overtime and they're getting big, big returns. It's pretty amazing, absolutely amazing that nobody's.

[Rob Schmidt]

Going to rain on my parade. And these numbers are what they are. And 50k. I made this hat two months ago.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. All right. Well for some reason we have no audio. Not sure what exactly the audio issue is here, but I'm not even sure who's hearing what is hearing and all of that stuff. But I'll just keep the show going because I've got everything playing with all of the.

[Sebastian Gorka]

We have the audio for the radio.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, you got the audio, the radio, but not for the stream. Okay, well I don't know what the deal is. So here is that. Anyway, that's the good news with regard to the economy coming down today, which is pretty good. And then of course there's what's the Democrats are doing in front of Congress today, which is this.

[Lauren Boebert]

First you showed.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

I find.

[Rob Carson]

How many have you guided.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

Excuse me, I'm going to answer the question.

[Tim Voltz]

Answer my question.

[Lauren Boebert]

No, I'm going to answer the question.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

The way I want to answer the question.

[News Reporter]

The way I answer.

[Lauren Boebert]

Chairman Jordan, I'm not going to get in the gutter with these people.

[Tim Voltz]

How many?

[Crazy Cat Lady]

I'm going to Answer the question.

[News Reporter]

How many of you invited again?

[Tim Voltz]

The time.

[Rob Carson]

Framing my time.

[Tim Voltz]

The time.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

I think it's very interesting.

[Rob Carson]

My time.

[Lauren Boebert]

I think it's very interesting. He talks about they indicted the President.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

Said they indicted him twice.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

Stop the clock.

[Rob Carson]

This is your Democrat Party. I told you. This is your Democrat Party. This is what they are doing and this is how they are behaving. They're acting like children. They are doing a death spiral into hell. And the American people are saying, you know what? We're tired of it. Then you got this coming from the AP today after all of the good news today. Listen to this. Only 59% of Americans gave high ratings when asked to evaluate how good their life has been. In about five years, Americans Hope for the future has fallen to a new low, according to new polling. It's a. It's a warning about the depth of the gloom that has fallen over the country over the past few years. The. The gloom. I'm going to stop the stream and restart it. There we go. Doing that right now. It was the last four years under Joe Biden, and everything went to hell. During Joe Biden's administration, everything went to hell. The price of a home doubled. Interest rates went from 2.9% to 8%. Rents went through the ceiling. And then the price of groceries went up dramatically. The price of a used car doubled. During Joe Biden's administration. I sold cars for a living. I know this. You used to be able to, if you were lucky seven years ago, if you were lucky seven years ago, you could get a decent used car under $10,000. Now you can't get anything under $10,000. And the average price of a used car is about $27,000 a year. You know, the average price for a new car is about $47,000 a year. You know, the average payment for a new car is about $800 a month. That's pretty remarkable. Pretty darned remarkable. But that's. That's what happened during the Biden administration. The finding comes from a long standing Gallup question that has to rate Americans to rate their current and future lives. On a scale of 0 to 10, those who gave themselves an 8 or higher on the question about the future are categorized as optimists. Yeah, well, of course. Of course you are. And the Democrat Party is going to continue and the leftist media is going to continue to feed you this line to attempt to make you feel things are better. Now, here's what they did during the Biden administration. They tried to convince you that everything was great. And it wasn't. You see what they're doing? Do you see what they're doing? Yeah, this is what they're doing. It is remarkable. It's not going to work very well. And as the good news keeps rolling in, as I told you, and I told you this, I said we have to overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism. I will handle the mockery, ridicule and satire and we will let Donald Trump take care of the butt kicking. Okay? Yeah, and there is some butt kicking going on, by the way. There is. I just did restart, Brian, but I'm going to restart it one more time. Here we go. For instance, right now, Donald Trump has been talking with the Iranians and the Iranians keep, you know, bleeping around and finding out they're fafoing. Right. Last night, Seb Gorka was on Newsmax and he was asked about some things that are happening by Rob Schmidt over there. And one of the things you don't know about is not only do we have a flotilla of ships over there, but also we're sending a whole bunch of cargo planes over there. And Seb Gorka had to be very ginger about what he said, but it sounds like something's happening.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

Zero Hedge reporting that at least 112C17, these huge military jets are headed toward the Middle east, describing them as Desert Storm levels. I wanted to ask the veracity of that, if that is valid and what any indication of what might be happening. People think this could be the Iran move.

[Sebastian Gorka]

So we don't talk about military operations. What I will say is when the president, this I can disclose. When he wrote that letter to the supreme leader in Tehran of that murderous regime at the beginning of the administration, he made three very simple demands. We will not permit you to acquire nuclear weapons. We will not permit you to use ballistic missiles. And lastly, we will not permit you to fund proxies across the region that are involved in terrorism and lethal plotting that is non negotiable. If Iran does not comply to those three demands, there will be consequences from this, the most decisive president of the modern age. That's all we're going to say, but I think it is a very clear message to that murderous regime.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That's SEB Gorka. So C17s. I don't know a lot about, you know, military operations, all that, but they carry supplies. They carry supplies in case there's need for ammunition, whatnot. Yeah, I've spoken to some people in the know. That's the feeling they're Getting. And it sounds like the. The Ayatollah's days were numbers. I hope so. I hope so. I need to share this. I found this. This video from a Cuban exile in the United States talking about what's going on in Cuba right now. And it's getting very dire. They're down to one week of fuel.

[Rob Schmidt]

Wow. Just in, Justin. Cuba has announced that they have 24 hours worth of fuel for planes. Can you believe that? 24 hours. How can you let a country get to that point? And then you're asking the Cuban people for resistance. Although you should build fires for. For power, or you can cook on biogas. Meanwhile, the planes are 24 hours away from totally running out of fuel.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. No flights.

[Rob Schmidt]

I mean, can you believe that?

[Rob Carson]

No flights.

[Rob Schmidt]

They have zero fuel left in 24 hours. All the tourist hotels and everything, they're telling people to leave because they are actually running out of power in all the tourist hotels. This is crazy.

[Rob Carson]

I can't believe that it's happening. It's happening. This is the 3D chess we've been talking about. This is the 3D chess that Donald Trump has been doing to. To change the world. And it is changing the world. And right now, what happened, we had Donald Trump using tariffs to bring people to the peace table, and, and. And getting eight successful historic peace deals around the world. Then you've got taking out Maduro in Venezuela, and that impacting, for instance, Iran bombing the nuclear facilities in Iran, that impacting what happened with Hamas in Israel. Now we got Pisa. It's 3D chess beyond belief. It is absolutely remarkable. Here's Sebastian Gorka speaking of Venezuela, talking about what Venezuela is doing right now, what the leadership of Venezuela is doing right now, and it is exactly what we tell it to.

[Sebastian Gorka]

If they're not, they will find out about it. And my immediate boss, Secretary Rubio, who's also the National Security Advisor, will deal with it on behalf of the President, who has his new Don Row doctrine. Let's be very clear here. This isn't the disastrous neoconservative policies of the Bush administration. We don't invade other countries, put in a pro consul, and then hand over power to a regime that cannot manage their own country. What we're talking about is behavior, compliance. And if the actions of this regime are not what the President wants his man in place, the individual, Marco Rubio, the Secretary will make clear that it is not what we expect and that things have to change. But let's be very clear, we have changed the hemisphere for the better because what happens in America's backyard is of direct consequence to the national security of all Americans.

[Rob Carson]

And the Democrat party will do everything they can to distract from anything that is good. But as I mentioned, there is a wave of freedom and patriotism sweeping the world and now faith. And there's nothing the Democrat party can do about it. And right now it looks like Iran and Cuba are teetering on the brink. And when they fall, it's going to be the greatest moment for freedom we've seen at least since the Berlin Wall. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. It is a Rob Carson show. So let's see what gold is doing right now, ladies and gentlemen, let's see what gold is doing. The price of gold, as you know, it's. It's been more volatile than it has been ever. We went through an unprecedented growth from about a year and a half ago to now from 2600 to $5600. And, and it's been going ever since. And then about two weeks ago it went to $5,600 an ounce. It went up 500 do in one day. And then it went down again. It was pretty, pretty remarkable. So then it went down to $4,600. People sold off their gold and now it's coming back. Now it's $5100. So clearly international disputes, inflation, rising national debt, digital currency, a never ending list of reasons gold has gone up over 700% the last 20 years. But now it's really crazy. Maybe it's time for you to get into gold. If you had an IRA or 401k in gold, just text my name, Rob. The number 989898 Birch Gold is going to give you all the information you need. No obligation, just useful information. They have my money, they can have yours. You can trust them. I trust them. So if you would just text my name, Rob. There you go. You're just getting information. You're not going to get a heavy. You won't get a sales pitch, you're not going to get a sales pitch. But you are going to get some information, useful information and then you can contact at your own leisure. That's how it works and they do a wonderful job. So text by the name Rob 298-9898 for Burchgold. Yesterday. The millions of documents have been released. The Epstein files. The Democrat party had four years to release all of the Epstein files, decide whether they wanted to redact them. They wanted to whatever them and they chose not to do it. Now they're using it like, oh, my God, you are doing anything about it. And this is typical Democrat bullcrap. You know, there are people want questions answered about these Epstein files. We are. Several members of Congress went and looked at the unredacted stuff Lauren Boebert did. She was on with Rob Schmidt last night on Newsmax. Pay attention, because this is pretty ugly. There were six names unredacted yesterday. One of them is Sultan bin Salayem, who was business partner, I guess. And here is Rob Schmidt talking about this unredacted person with Lauren Boebert.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

This is an email reportedly from Epstein to the Saudi Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, who's one of six names that's been revealed from Epstein to this Saudi Sultan. Where are you? Are you okay? I loved the torture video. That Sultan was a name that was redacted in here and then unredacted. Can you elaborate more on what you're seeing regarding torture?

[Lauren Boebert]

Well, unfortunately, and maybe fortunate, so it's not scarred into my being. A lot of these unredacted files that we are able to view have missing items and are still further redacted. But a lot of the images aren't there where they say they are, where a JPEG link is present. There's not a way to actually view that. And we're being told by the DOJ that it just doesn't exist. Even, you know, the link is there.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, here's where it gets very disturbing. And this is why we need to know what happened and who did it. What happened and who did it.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

This is to and from, both redacted on this one. To and from are both redacted on this one. I want to go to take six, if we can. Did you know somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G? Both died by strangulation during rough fetish.

[Rob Carson]

Madam G, of course, is Hill Maxwell sex.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

I mean, after what you've seen today, does an email like that seem authentic and realistic to you that something like that could have happened?

[Lauren Boebert]

Yeah. So we are seeing these names unredacted. And some of the names, even though they're claiming to be victims, the DOJ is claiming they are victims, have had public stories about them and their encounters with Epstein and even Ghislaine Maxwell. And so, you know, I do see a path with a lot of these females who were associates, lieutenants, second in command, executive assistants to these two horrible human beings, these horrible pedophile creeps. And. And there is a Pattern.

[Rob Carson]

Here's another sound bite from Lauren Boebert with Rob Schmidt last night on Newsmax.

[Lauren Boebert]

There's a lot of conspiracies that make you wonder. And I saw more emails about torture. And these coded convers still have a very clear topic that torture was big. It was a big driver for them. And these were sick people doing very, very sick things. As you mentioned, there are many women who are involved in this. You have folks that were working directly for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. And a lot of these women are the ones that are sending emails saying, Here's 1, 10 years old, 11 years old, 9 years old. And. And it's just very disturbing to see the women who are involved in this as well.

[Rob Carson]

Let these. These people, they're suffering be in vain. We certainly can't let them die in vain. This is Tim Burchette from Congress talking to Rob Schmidt about this disgusting episode. And it's not necessarily uniquely American. He's an international creep.

[Tim Burchette]

I watch this thing unfold and. And I'm disgusted with it. You know, the Democrats now are mad that we're releasing names that should have been redacted women because they wanted. They wanted them out sooner. And, you know, you have some of the victims that want to be released their names, and some of them don't, because there's one girl who was in our meeting, she said. She said, look, I just want to get to the bottom of it because I blacked out all this in my mind. I want to know what happened to me. And then I said, well, wait a minute. You want your name released? She said, oh, no, I do not want my name released. And that was the first I'd ever heard that any of the ladies that were mentioned in this thing did not want their names released. So there is a. There's an effort, you know, to push this both sides. There's been some errors been made, but you're talking millions of pages, and it's. It's just gonna. There's mistakes are gonna be made, but I. I wish they just dump them all and let them have them.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Here's one more sound bite from a very frustrated timber jet.

[Tim Burchette]

She's in charge of it. But that onion, you peel those layers back, it's pretty deep. I mean, you have that. That place is a. Is a sewer up here. Yeah. But I. They're going to release it all, and some people are going to get hurt, and there'll probably be lawsuits over that, and it'll be years and years before we ever get. And we'll never get to the bottom of all of it because Epstein's dead and his old lady sitting up there in prison, she's not going to say anything. And she's, she's using that as her bargaining chip. In 20 years, she'll get out, she'll do a book deal, and if she's allowed to live, then she'll be, she'll be rich beyond belief. But. And going back to Epstein, I don't think he killed himself.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Tim Burchette says he doesn't believe that Epstein killed himself. There you go. I got to tell you, there are people in charge of, of our country in this world who are the worst human beings you could ever imagine. You would think that we lived in an enlightened era. We move beyond some of the darkness of the past. But the, the forces of evil are very strong. I'll just say that it's. It's ridiculous. All right, so coming up, there was a mass shooting in Canada. And the Canadian authorities don't want to admit it was a, a man who decided he was a woman and, and then committed a, a mass shooting. Yeah. And the links to which they're trying to cover up are ridiculous. Don't go anywhere. Let me share Brian's story from Alabama. He tells us about Relief Factor. Trying it for just three weeks. At least 90% of my pain was gone. My pain had started to limit me at work and at home. And I'm amazed at the relief I've gotten. Those are Brian's own words, and they speak volumes about what relief Factor can do. I've seen that kind of transformation myself. And hearing Brian's experience just reinforces why I'm so passionate about sharing this with you all. Now, don't wait. If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you. Call 800 for relief. That's 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com. that's relieffactor.com. how will it feel to be out of pain? Oh, sorry. Here we go. It was a Rob Card. Apologize. We are having some technical issues today that will be taken care of by engineers later on today. Welcome back to the show. I do believe we have Philip Patrick from Birch Gold on the line. Brian, we're still waiting for. But never mind, never mind. I want to mention something real quick. This summer, you know, this is the year 2026. It is the 250th anniversary of our country. It's going to be an extraordinary time. And so I'm working on some events with the wonderful people I'm working with. My Ralph, who's now working with us in Newsmax radio and podcasting is really just setting the division on fire and getting us a lot more reach. And we want to bring you guys here to the D.C. area later this summer. Those of you can make it. We're going to do a special event a few days here in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 250th. But I've got something come up in Baltimore at our, our, our home station up there, our anchor station, wcbm up there in Baltimore. And it is a trip to Gettysburg on June 11th. Okay. Now I know a lot of you guys are in Santa Cruz or you guys are in Albuquerque, you guys are in Fargo, you guys are in New Hampshire, you guys are in, you know, in, in Houston or whatever. But you know, if you can make it, great. If not, if you're in the area. June 11, we're going to leave one day in a luxury coach or two from Baltimore. June 11th, go to Gettysburg. Spend the day, go to all of the sites, see the place where Donald or Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Have lunch and everything. And if you'd like to be a part of this, go to wcbm.com that's wcbm.com all right. So there you go. And we've already mostly sold out one motor coach. Tickets are 130 bucks. And I think it's a deal because you're getting lunch, you get spend time with me and it's going to be, it's going to be a remarkable day. So wcbm.com wcbm.com wow, what a roller coaster ride we've been on, man. This is better than Six Flags the last couple weeks with regard to the price of precious metals, gold in particular. Joining us to talk about that, Philip Patrick, who just happens to be a precious metal specialist, works with Birch Gold. Philip, have you ever seen anything like this?

[Philip Patrick]

It's a crazy market, Rob. We were expecting upside, not as much as we've seen over the last 12 months, but it's been going very well. We saw a little pullback which was definitely welcome on our side. Silver had run 50% in three weeks. So a nice little pullback I think has created buying opportunities. But all in all, little more than we expected. But not completely out of the blue, we knew things were moving.

[Rob Carson]

This did not bother me at all, Philip, and I'm not an expert like you, but when I saw one day gold go up $500. I knew it was going to happen. People were going to sell, people were going to sell, they were going to take, they were going to take their profit. Maybe they got in two years ago when it was $2,600. And then that one day I think they just said, oh man, this is not going to happen again. I'm going to buy right now or sell right now. And that's when I think happened. Am I, am I off base?

[Philip Patrick]

You're absolutely correct. This was profit taking. This was margin calls. And it was also coming back predominantly from leverage. This wasn't long term holders of physical precious metals. This was coming out of leverage in the paper markets. You could see it based on the pace of the sell off. But I agree with you. Listen, Silver did 150% last year, went up 50% at the start of this year. It needed to retrace back. When something goes up and up and up, you start to get concerned. We've got a bubble on our hands. These retracements are healthy and welcome and, and I think they just create buying opportunities, not a bubble.

[Rob Carson]

I didn't think it was a bubble. Not at all. I don't think a bubble happens. When something rises really dramatically like a balloon. It goes blah, blah, blah like that. We've seen a steady massive growth for 20 years in gold. It's gone up what, 700%, right?

[Philip Patrick]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

I didn't think it was a bubble. I didn't think it was a bubble.

[Philip Patrick]

No, listen, a bubble is traders chasing momentum. It's emotional. This is the opposite. This is central bank banks rebalancing. All of this buying for both gold and silver come predominantly from central government, Central banks, which is very encouraging. These guys are price insensitive. They're buying silver to secure the future of defense and AI and they're buying gold to underpin monetary systems. They don't care whether it goes up or down 5%. Longer term, it always goes up. And they're buying at record levels at current prices.

[Rob Carson]

You know, Philip, it's interesting. I had a little 401k that I had from selling cars and I've been sitting on. I'm just watching it, just idle along, do nothing, nothing. I'm like, if that's your retirement account, you're never going to retire. So I decided, I said, you know what? I'm going to do this. And it was right when it was like right at 4650s, what was it? It was over $5,600. And I said, all right. I'm going to start thinking about this. Then I saw it drop. And then I said. And I contacted Burch and I contacted the proprietors of my 401k, my little Ira. And in a day, I had on the phone, you guys and them, they got the ball rolling, cut a check. When it was down to $4,600. Boom. And now we're at $5,100 today. That's. That's remarkable. Imagine. And when I talk to somebody at Burt's, they were like, we are crazy nuts busy right now. Is that the case?

[Philip Patrick]

Absolutely insane. And we're hearing. It makes me happy. It warms my heart to hear stories like that. I'm hearing more and more and more of them. People's retirement changing. It's incredible that you could work 20, 30 years in a profession and amass a good chunk for retirement. And then you see gold and silver, average 100% growth in a year. It just changes the picture very, very quickly. But listen, we got some tough stuff to get through. Things are changing domestically, internationally, some for the good, some for the bad, but it's a very good climate for precious metals. This is why people like Jamie Dimon are saying gold will easily hit $10,000 in climates like this. And it is absolutely correct.

[Rob Carson]

I am seeing predictions much higher than that, to be quite honest. And I never thought when I saw silver at nearly $120 an ounce. I mean, this is surreal. This is surreal. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's good. Good for business for you guys at Birchgold. And I'll just remind everybody, if you want to text my name, Rob, to 989-898, you can get the ball rolling. But, Philip, I appreciate your expertise on this, man. It is a wild time. I don't think that I have only known. Been working with you guys for like five years. Have you ever seen anything like the last year?

[Philip Patrick]

No, absolutely not. This is. This is unprecedented, but not unexpected. So we've been waiting for this search and I think this is our time we go. We got a lot of price action on the horizon, I think.

[Rob Carson]

All right, well, it's wonderful talking to you, my friend. Have a glorious day and we'll talk again soon.

[Philip Patrick]

Thank you so much, Rob. You too. Take care.

[Rob Carson]

All right, again, text my name, Rob, to 989-8984. Birch Gold. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Carson.

[Tim Voltz]

The impact is pretty clear right here. This place should be hopping. It's should be full. We should have the four employees that would be working this kitchen be working here. They're not. Which the trickle down effect of that is how do they make rent, how do they pay for food, how do they do the things they need to do? And so I think it's been clear over the last nearly three months now that we are long past this being anything about immigration. Again, I'm grateful for the great Tim.

[Rob Carson]

Waltz who's going to go to jail, hopefully the rest of his life blaming the lack of business in Minnesota on deportation. Well, here's the deal. You hire people who are legal to work and if you don't do that, then if they're subject to deportation, then you're going to be screwed. So there's that. Yeah. And then also the fact that you've made Minneapolis such an a wasteland, just an apocalyptic zombie wasteland that that also has helped. Who would ever want to go to Minneapolis at this point? What a crap hol Minneapolis is right now. My God. Absolute crapple. Really, really, really super crapple. There you go. There you go. Here's Tim blaming the reason why they haven't gone after fraud in Minnesota is because of all the resources being devoted to deportations.

[Tim Voltz]

They don't even have any people working at these agencies. So they request the data and they don't go anywhere. The people who are the attorneys that.

[Rob Carson]

He is so scared out of his mind, he knows he's going to jail.

[Tim Voltz]

Should actually, actually be prosecuting on ice cases. The lead prosecutor quit yesterday. Fraud is a long forgotten thing for everybody except me and people.

[Rob Carson]

1,000 whistleblowers came forward to talk about fraud in your government and were punished and fired and marched out the door. Mr. Voltz, Minnesota who know we need.

[Tim Voltz]

To prosecute it and do what's right. The federal government lost all their.

[Rob Carson]

You have known about it for over a decade and you did nothing because you were part of it.

[Tim Voltz]

Prosecutors. The federal government sent us no one who's an expert in fraud prevention or fraud discovery or fraud prosecution. They sent untrained people on the street.

[Rob Carson]

All it took was Nick Shirley, you buffoon. And you knew what was going on. You know how I know this? Because I'm not stupid. The whole country do about it. You know about. The whole country knew about it. Here's a. Here's a report from KCTV5. I used to work in the same building as KCTV5, Hubbard Broadcasting in Minneapolis. People knew about it so much they were coming in from other states. Then they called it fraud tourism.

[News Reporter]

This is the case involving the two men from Philadelphia who heard it was easy to rip off taxpayers here in Minnesota. Federal prosecutors have called this case fraud tourism, saying the men traveled here to steal from the now defunct Medicaid program. Today they traveled back here to face the consequences. And I had the chance to ask them about it. They called it fraud tourism. You want to respond to that, Sir? Why Minnesota, Mr. Brown? Anything you want to say to taxpayers here? That's Lester Brown and Anthony Jefferson, both from Philly. They admitted in court today to setting up businesses in the housing stabilization program here in Minnesota. We learned today the men used ChatGPT to draft fake client notes and use them to submit inflated bills for reimbursement.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, here's another report on all the fraud tourism. And by the way, this is going on around the country. If you were listening earlier, Josh Hawley announced that about more than a trillion dollars a year going to fraud in our country.

[Tim Voltz]

Tourism. That might be new to you, but we're hearing a lot here. Things so bad for fraud in Minnesota and Minneapolis. People actually come here from other states to defraud the city and the state. That's what happened with two men from Philadelphia.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody knew about it. Tim Volts knew about it. Everybody knew about it. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Ridiculous. In the meantime, the Democrat party is doing everything they can to keep illegals here. To say that Getting an ID is, is racist or now sexist. They, they literally are telling women that they're too stupid to be able to get an id, even though you need an ID for. And I can't think of a single woman in the audience right now who doesn't have an id. They can use that. One single person. Unless you've been in a persistent vegetative state for 20 years. And even, even then, I think you probably have an ID somewhere. But this is what the Democrat Party is doing. Mark, Wade Mullen last night talking to Rob Schmidt.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

Well, Rob, listen, when they can't make.

[Rob Carson]

A law ideological argument about a policy or about enforcement, they go to two things.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

They go to an emotional ploy by.

[Rob Carson]

Saying something about, you know, do you.

[Tim Burchette]

Think you're going to go to hell?

[Mark Wade Mullen]

Or whatever her question was.

[Rob Carson]

And the other card they pull is racism.

[Mark Wade Mullen]

Racist. It's racist. It's. It's, you're a Nazi or the Gestapo. You know, you're a slave trader. And it's like the logical argument can't be made.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, you know, I've been talking about crazy cat ladies and yesterday, Whoopi Goldberg. Well, she obviously is, although I feel sorry for the cat who has to live with her. She says that Donald Trump with, you know, asking for voter and ID and everything, and with going after illegals in the country illegally, that Donald Trump is going to. Are you ready for this? Separate interracial couples and keep the white people here. All of you talking about you.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

It's us.

[Rob Carson]

He's not going to be, he's not going to, you know, say, oh, you're with a white guy. I'm going to keep you from being deported. No, he's going to deport you and put the white guy with someone else. The man is out there. He's all, I mean, honestly, what you just said there is so utterly preposterous and stupid. Here's our crazy cat lady of the day. I'm not sure where she's from, but she's a white liberal woman. We all know this. They are subject to social contagion. They've been doing this since the Salem witchcraft trials to the Charlie Manson followers. They're nuts. They fall for this nonsense all the time. And this time they've. They've done it again. Okay? They, they fell in love with Luigi Mangioni, murderer. You know, they love death row inmates. They're bat guano crazy, okay? This woman says that if she doesn't get her way politically and if they don't start rolling out guillotines to kill Trump officials. She has a plan to kill herself. This is real.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

We deserve everything terrible thing that continues to happen because we continue to not stop it, plain and simple. And I have set out a deadline for myself where if we are not going to be wheeling out guillotines, I am punching my ticket because I refuse to live like this anymore. And I refuse to live like this surrounded by so many damn cowards that can make excuse after excuse after excuse. I will not do this anymore.

[Rob Carson]

So she doesn't get away. She's going to kill herself. That's. It's a sign of mental illness. And what do you suppose the president would say to that?

[Rob Schmidt]

I. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

[Rob Carson]

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

[Rob Schmidt]

Okay. Bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye.

[Rob Carson]

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

[Rob Schmidt]

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye. Bing, bing. Bye, bye, bye bye.

[Rob Carson]

That's it. Bye bye. Wave goodbye. On a serious note, the woman needs mental help. Uh, if, if someone knows her, I would strongly suggest that she get some psychological. I mean honestly. She says she's going to kill herself on social media, tells the world she's going to do means she's nuts. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. So one of the fastest growing demographics for committing mass shootings are transgendered individuals had what happened last year in daycare center to Catholic school. It's coming more and more. Last night there was a mass shooting. There were nine people killed, 25 injured in. In British Columbia. And authorities did not once mention the fact that the gen. The. The. The shooter was a man who suddenly believed he's a woman.

[News Reporter]

I understand that there are 10 people in total who are dead two different sites. Eight of the people who died as a result of the shootings were at the school, including an individual we understand is the suspected shooter who is believed to have died of a self inflicted gunshot wound. There are about 25 people have been triaged by health authorities with various physical injuries, middle school, some profoundly serious and some more minor injuries.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

While the RCMP emergency alert has been lifted, the people of Tumblr Ridge remain in a state of crisis.

[Rob Carson]

Don't they just sound like brainwashed leftists.

[Crazy Cat Lady]

Following one of the worst mass shootings in our provinces and country's history?

[Rob Carson]

Now, for a white male Christian, they would of course say that. Here is a member of Canadian law enforcement who did not say gunman. He said gun person. Gun person. Because he didn't want to insult the transgender guy. He was a man. It was a gun man, but he didn't want to call him a gun man.

[Rob Schmidt]

That includes the deceased gun person.

[Tim Voltz]

Okay.

[Rob Carson]

And then let's hear that again.

[Rob Schmidt]

That includes the deceased gun person.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. Yeah.

[News Reporter]

Person's relationship.

[Rob Carson]

The gun man. A gun person. I mean, I swear, I thought we were over this, but there are still bastions of this, this idiocy, this, this madness. And, and like I said, we've got to maintain a level of joy and patriotism. I will do the mockery, ridicule and satire and let Donald Trump handle the butt kicking. Common sense. The last election was returning from nonsense to common sense, but there are these little, these little flash fires of nonsense that we have to put out constantly. It's just the way it's going to be. Democrats acting like fools on Capitol Hill today. They look like fools and everybody knows they are. So there you go. That's going to do it for the show, guys. Check out the podcast God Bless America as founded Donald Trump as he makes America even greater. And until tomorrow, which is Thursday, don't catch the stupid. I'll see you then.
