News Reporter (2:37)

And also they've threatened to close the Babel Mandel Strait, which is the gateway to the Red Sea.

Rob Carson (2:43)

The Baba Lump up straight. What?

News Reporter (2:45)

They could do this using Houthi forces in Yemen, a major proxy of the Iranian regime. Major questions remain about how this blockade will be implemented and the consideration of mines that were laid by the Iranian regime during Operation Epic Fury. So a lot of moving parts here. But again, at this moment, the US Navy blockade of Iranian ports is now in effect, and the region is waiting to see if and how the Iranians will respond to this move.

Rob Carson (3:13)

And if they tried to respond in a military fashion, we will bomb the bloody snot out of them. There you go. You know, and all the Democrats can do is say, oh, we're going to remove them from the 25th amendment and all this. And then, honestly, I'm just so done. I'm so done with you Democrats, you nonsense. To be quite honest, this was something that nobody expected. J.D. vance went over there, had a big old meeting with the Iranians, the few living ones who haven't been converted into cardboard figurines, and he came back and he had this to say, which was not good.

Political Analyst (3:49)

Well, good morning, everybody, and let me say a couple of notes of appreciation. First of all, to the Prime Minister of Pakistan and to Field Marshal Munir, who were both incredible hosts. And whatever shortcomings of the negotiation, it wasn't because of the Pakistanis who did an amazing job and really tried to help us and the Iranians bridge the gap and get to a deal. We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America, because

Rob Carson (4:28)

they're going to go boom, boom.

Political Analyst (4:29)

So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to.

Rob Carson (4:37)

Unlike Barack Obama, who drew red lines, they just walked right over them on

Political Analyst (4:41)

and what things were, and we're not willing to accommodate them on. And we've made that as clear as we possibly could. And they have chosen not to accept our terms.

Rob Carson (4:49)

I love the fact that they're up. Their pride and hubris are going to. To basically result in their demise. And this, you know, this is actually a good thing. But it's over six weeks. He said four to six weeks. That's a forever war. No, it's not. Shut up. We, we did a. I'm just talking to people who are saying that. I'm not talking to you guys. Little voices in my head anyway. But, you know, literally last week in the, in the sixth week, Donald Trump got a ceasefire. So they, they were b. Wording and whining about it and all this, you know, and they said it was, you know, never going to happen and all this. And, you know, way to get into a ceasefire is to negotiate or whatever. And then by Thursday, there was a ceasefire. So basically part of this, half of this six weeks that we've been there has been with the ceasefire. And what are they doing? They're effing around and they're finding out. They're effing around and they're finding out. Maria Bartiromo talked to the President yesterday and he gave you a hint of what he's going to do this morning,

Guest Commentator (5:46)

saying that we will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz. And at some point, we will reach an all being allowed to go in and all being allowed to go out basis. So tell us what you're trying to accomplish with this blockade, sir.

Show Announcer (6:04)

All out.

Guest Commentator (6:04)

Yep.

Show Announcer (6:05)

It's called all in and all out.

Rob Carson (6:06)

All in and all out. I like that.

Show Announcer (6:07)

There'll be a time when we'll have them all come in and all come out, but it won't be a percentage. It won't be a friend of yours, like a country that's your ally or a country that's your friend. It's all or nothing.

Rob Carson (6:18)

Yeah.

Show Announcer (6:18)

And that'll be. That won't be in too long a distance nowhere, just bringing the ships up. We got a lot of ships that we're bringing them up. We think that numerous countries are going to be helping us with this also. But we're putting on a complete blockade. We're not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like and not people that they don't like or whatever it is. It's going to be all or none. And that's the way it is. And it'll be, you saw, you saw what we did with Venezuela. It'll be something very similar to that, but at a. At a higher level.

Rob Carson (6:49)

And Mr. President, because everybody's complaining that Donald Trump was going to bomb them out of existence and destroy their civilization and all that in their, their culture, which the Ayatollah already did starting in 1978. And so Donald Trump is not bombing the power stations. Donald Trump is not, you know, bombing the, you know, electoral whatever are the bridges. I should say. He's not. He's not. There you go. He should be happy. I hate to tell you this, but sending out children at the end of a barrel of a rifle to stand around a power station is, is. You can't do that when you're blockading ships. So Donald Trump is cutting off all trade with Iran. So basically you get nothing. You can't trade it in that thing and your economy is going to die. There you go. There you go. This is the great Brigitte Gabriel with a wonderful perspective on Newsmax.

Guest Commentator (7:41)

And that's exactly why he is winning the war against Iran. You know, Iran thought they're going to checkmate President Trump on this one. He ended up checkmating them by putting the block.

Rob Carson (7:52)

I would call this. This is a pretty big checkmate.

Guest Commentator (7:54)

They know the straight up Hormuz. He understands how they think. He is not going to budge. He knows.

Rob Carson (8:01)

But he tweeted truth. The picture of him is Jesus in response to the leftist Pope that we have, you know, like, who cares?

Guest Commentator (8:09)

Have the upper hand. That was basically the last card that the Iranians played. They thought they can have the.

Rob Carson (8:15)

How else are you going to get back at the Pope? I mean, if you want to really, you really just want to troll the hell out of the Pope, who, by the way, is, you know, very left of center Pope, not uncommon for the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church. But what are you going to do? There you go. So, you know, honestly, really, really. Is it really bugging you that badly? Is it really, really bugging you? Did you expect anything less, for crying out loud?

Guest Commentator (8:38)

By blocking the of Hormuz and they ended up failing and we ended up with the upper hand. I think this war is going exactly the way we want it to go. We are coming up with the best options for this war. This is actually better. Doing the blockade is actually better than us taking Cargill Island. It is safer for us. We can secure it much better. We can have Carg Island. So this is the best way. No boots on the ground and we're making money. At the end of the day anyway, this is a win. Win for America, zero for Iran.

Rob Carson (9:09)

Yeah. Then you're going to get all sorts of oil from America being sold all over the world because Iran can't trade. And all that stuff. That's pretty amazing. That's a pretty amazing thing that happens here. So we'll see how Iran, you know, responds to this. They don't have much left as far as missiles are concerned. They don't have much left as far as their navy is concerned or anything. So about 95% of their capacity to launch missiles is completely gone. So, you know, we will see. This is a little checkmate by Donald. We've got a bunch more on this coming up on the show. Also, Gordon Chang is going to join us shortly on the show to talk about this, what it's going to mean, because China does a lot of trade with Iran. They get a lot of their oil from Iran and all of that. So, you know, again, you've got this kind of 3D chess going on around the world. It's not just about Iran. It's also about their proxies. It's also about their friends who are the enemies of America and all of this. But there you go. There you go. We've got another wrinkle in this, in this fight with Iran that I think ultimately will end up in the people of Iran walking free for the first time in 47 years. All right. So that's coming up. Also, General Blaine Holt joins us to talk about this. Put it in perspective. Your calls are welcome here at 800-922-6680. This is a Monday edition of the Rob Carson Show.

the rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com listen for details.

Rob Carson (12:44)

It is Rob Carson. Joe, on a Monday. Welcome to a very busy, busy, busy weekend. I've got many details to share with you as the, as the show progresses. Ken, kill the music if you would, please. That would be great. And a little insider radio lingo with the producer in the Ken redneck, MacGyver. Got a little music in the background. All right, so let's move on. Let's move on, shall we? Donald Trump has imposed a complete embargo on the city, on the, on the country of Iran. That's kind of a big deal. So you're kind of looking at what the next step was. You know, the Iranians refused to open the Straits of Hormuz. And so what you're thinking, what's going to happen? But is he going to start to bomb it again? I was kind of thinking kind of leaning into the bombing a little bit because they don't want to play along. They're clearly being belligerent, they're being proud, and they're being incredibly, incredibly stupid. And they're effinger effing around and finding out from Donald Trump. So Donald Trump basically says, okay, we'll just shut down your ports. Your ports. Not even going after Carg island, not putting troops on Carg island, not enduring any bloodshed, trying to take over Carg island, just shutting down all trade to and from Iran. There you Go. That's pretty amazing, isn't it? Donald Trump was on with Maria Bartiromo over the weekend because one of the things that he did last week, he got him to come to the table with regard to a ceasefire because he said he was going to bomb the Iranian civilization out of existence and their culture, which of course we already know that the ayatollah did 47 years ago. But Donald Trump says that's the language that worked.

Show Announcer (14:18)

Think of it, they're allowed to say, death to America, death to this death. And I make one statement, they say, oh, such a big deal.

Rob Carson (14:27)

Yeah.

Show Announcer (14:27)

Let me tell you, that statement got them to the bargaining table and they haven't left. They haven't left the bargaining table. I predict they come back and they give us everything we want. And I tell my people, I want everything. I don't want 90%, I don't want 95%. I told them I want everything.

Rob Carson (14:44)

I love it. I absolutely love it. There you go. And that's what they, that's what they're going to have to, to deal with. That's what they're going to have to deal with. Ron John, a Republican, had a perspective on Iran, you know, and again, again last week I said, okay, so Donald Trump said he's going to bomb them out of existence, bomb their civilization, bomb them back into the stone age. This after 47 years of saying, death to America, the Great Satan and promising to wipe us off the planet. And then of course, let's not forget all the terror attacks, all of the IED technology, all this killing and maiming American soldiers for decades. First of all, I'm not supportive of

Democratic Party Supporter (15:21)

the war with Iran, but that's because

Rob Carson (15:24)

Iran declared war on America 47 years ago. 100%.

Democratic Party Supporter (15:27)

They have blood on their, on the

Rob Carson (15:30)

hands of American soldiers, hundreds, probably thousands of them. But it's the Ayatollah, it's the regime that declared war on America, not the Iranian people. So we're not at war with the Iranian people. We're trying to end the state sponsored terrorism. We're trying to end the threat, the menace that Iran represents, not only to America, but to world security and peace. So, yeah, they're kind of sick of their crap. I'm supportive of ending the Iranian regime's ability to threaten world peace and security. Yeah, you know what? It's a great thing. It is a great thing. But the Democrat Party hates, hates, hates the fact that it's happening under Donald Trump's watch. That's all there is to it. That's what they hate this is a guest on CNN this weekend talking about how it's great that Iran is out of business, but hating the fact that this guy's name is. Who is he? What I got over here. Hold on a second. John Fetterman. I've got so much. I got so much audio here. Tom Friedman. Tom Friedman. And this is. This is the Democrat Party. This is the left. Although people on the left, they aren't willing to say that taking down the Ayatollah is good. They aren't willing to say that The Ayatollah killed 35,000 people in the last. Just murdered innocent people for speaking out. 35,000 people. Just slaughtered them, mowed them down. Mowed them down in the streets. That's what the Ayatollah did. And yet there are people who think Donald Trump is worse than these guys. And here is this Democrat admitting exactly what most Democrats have in their hearts, that they love the fact that Iran is out of commission, but they hate the fact that Donald Trump did it. Yeah.

Democratic Party Supporter (17:16)

I find myself, Michael, in a situation where I really want to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible.

Rob Carson (17:26)

Why the hell didn't you do it? Why the hell didn't Barack Obama do it? Why the hell didn't Joe Biden do it?

Democratic Party Supporter (17:31)

Regime for its people in the region. And nothing would improve the region more than the replacement of this regime with a regime.

Rob Carson (17:38)

Why don't you celebrate that? Why don't you celebrate that? Oh, it's because Donald Trump is the only president to do it. Since the Ayatollah took over Iran, there

Democratic Party Supporter (17:47)

was focused on enabling its people to realize their full potential.

Rob Carson (17:51)

Okay, where's your joy? Where's your celebrating? With all the marches that were going on in all over the world, including at least 100,000 Iranians and Persians in Washington, D.C. the same weekend they had that stupid no Kings protest. Nobody covered that. Nobody celebrating with joy. The fact that the world is going to be free from this terrorist regime,

Democratic Party Supporter (18:11)

integrating peacefully with other countries and stop occupying Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. So I'm all for that. The problem is I really don't want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war.

Rob Carson (18:27)

Okay, there you go. There you go. They will not celebrate it. They will not admit it was the right thing to do. They will not condemn Iran for murdering so many of its people because Donald Trump did it. Donald Trump had the balls. I said balls. To do it. And here he is just. Just making up crap out of whole cloth about how awful Donald Trump is.

Democratic Party Supporter (18:51)

Because they are two awful human beings. They're both engaged in anti Democratic projects.

Rob Carson (18:56)

Oh, really? Really? Was it like censoring Americans or siccing the Justice Department on Americans and Donald

Democratic Party Supporter (19:01)

Trump in their own countries? They're both alleged crooks.

Rob Carson (19:04)

They are both alleged crooks. Yeah, okay, okay, whatever. Joe Biden had 27 LLCs, got $35 million from the communist Chinese of his relatives.

Democratic Party Supporter (19:15)

Terrible, terrible people. No, they're not doing terrible things to America standing in the world.

Rob Carson (19:19)

Okay, go ahead and tell us what, what I think is actually making us look pretty strong in the world.

Democratic Party Supporter (19:22)

World. And Israel standing in the world.

Rob Carson (19:24)

Yeah.

Democratic Party Supporter (19:24)

And so I really find myself torn. I want to see Iran militarily defeated, but I do not want to see these two terrible people.

Rob Carson (19:32)

Oh, man, I got to tell you, you are such a despicable human being. You can't even celebrate that we've taken out a regime that just murdered 35,000 people. You can't even celebrate that the world is going to be free from this, this tick on the back of the world. This. This tick across the entire globe committing acts of terror. Honestly, it is. It is just beyond the pale. But that's your Democrat Party. That's your Democrat part. Here's John Fetterman. This weekend, he was on podcast talking about supporting me, the only Democrat to support Operation Epic Fury.

News Reporter (20:01)

Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?

Rob Carson (20:04)

Listen.

Democratic Party Supporter (20:05)

Oh, we don't. We don't have one. I think. I think the tds. I think that's the leader right now. You know, right now our. Our party is. Is governed by the tds. And now it's made it virtually impossible without being punished as a Democrat to agree something's good. I agree with the other side. And I would define that by Epic Fury as it comes from the different party that, that tells me that you are choosing the demand of the. The base or the party over country or what. What's really, I think, appropriate in that circumstances.

Rob Carson (20:45)

Yeah, that's utterly ridiculous. And now they are willing to throw the US Military under the bus and not be proud of their enormous accomplishment at great risk. Unbelievable. We're going to take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Rob Carson for Ethos. I've worked very hard to get where I am today. I want the best for my kids. Both of my kids got kind of kicked in the teeth from COVID protocols. My son missed two years of college. My daughter high school. A good deal of their lives will be spent making up for time away from classes and friends when I'm gone. I want them to be able to live a great life and have kids. That's why I have life insurance. This is why you need to purchase life insurance from Ethos. Ethos helps provide financial security. Ethos protects your loved ones. In as little as 10 minutes, you can have life insurance. For me, it was almost instant. All you have to do is answer a few health questions online to get the ball rolling. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

So here's a headline for you. This is Twitter at Republican Party news. 121 empty oil tankers are now en route to the United States now that President Trump has launched a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Actually, just the ports of Iran. That's an insane amount of American oil about to be exported to countries around the world. There you go. There you go. That's pretty cool, right? Yeah, it is. It's pretty cool. Nobody kind of expected that, right? You're thinking, you got to resume the bombing, going to go after Carg island, all of this. Donald Trump says, now, you know what we're going to do? We're just going to, we're going to blockade the ports. Going to blockade their ports. No boots on the ground. Just blockade their ports. And this will cripple what is left of Iran's economy. So we'll see how Iran responds to it. They don't have very many missiles left and they have almost no navy left. They have these little Iranian speedboats which will be as easy to take out, probably even easier than the narco drug boats out of the, out of Venezuela. Of course, the Democrats will probably say, oh, they're just Iranian fishermen. They're just Iranian fishermen with 50 cows mounted on their boats. They're just Iranian fishermen. Yeah, you know, whatever. So there you go. I think it's another great move, master move by Donald Trump and hopefully will result in the freedom for the Iranian people. Douglas Murray was on with Bill Maher. And from day one, for the first time in recent memory, the American media was immediately demeaning the military operation. No pride in our military, no God bless our troops, no congratulations on anything they've done. Just day one. It's a disaster. That's what Chris Murphy called it. Day one, we killed the Ayatollah. First Nation in 47 years to take out the leader of Iran. First day vaporized him. Chris Murphy calls it a disaster. Then it just got worse after that. You've never heard a single Democrat say, this is a good thing. You've never said a single Democrat say, good job, American military. You've never said a single good thing about anything as long as Donald Trump has been the president, even though it has resulted in great things happening, like killing the Ayatollah and the cardboard Ayatollah and getting rid of the terror threat and the nuclear threat threat from Iran. They said it's a quagmire. It's not a quagmire at all. Dear God in heaven. We got a ceasefire the middle of last week. Then they went and talked to Iran again this weekend. They were belligerent. They were, you know, saying they were going to close down the Straits of Hormuz. So Donald Trump says, okay, here's something they are not expecting. I'm going to blockade their ports. Everything going in and everything going out, they're done. They are an island now cut off from the rest of the world. There you go. But Douglas Murray was on with, with Bill Maher, and Bill Maher is already saying, oh, it's a failure. Really? What? By what gauge of fail do you look at Operation Epic Fury? Considering it's all been successful, how is it a failure? There's no failure going on there. We waxed one of the most powerful militaries in the world. We sunk their entire navy, virtually. We took away 95% of their missile launching capability, missile manufacturing capability. We've taken out five versions of the upper, upper echelon of power in the country. By what metric are you saying it's not successful? And here's what Douglas Murray, who, by the way, I love, he's a British comedian, you know, leaning into philosopher, leaning into pundit. And he says, no, it's great.

Political Analyst (25:34)

Once started, you have to finish this.

Rob Carson (25:36)

Let's try it again.

Political Analyst (25:37)

I disagree, because I think once started, you have to finish this. I don't agree that it's failed. It's. It's been an incredibly successful operation in lots of ways. Supreme leader dead. Iranian air force destroyed. Destroyed. Nuclear sites attacked again. The navy of the Iranian revolutionary government at the bottom of the ocean. These are not small things. No, it's not the case that the Iranian revolutionary government has come out of this. Well, I know some people are wanting to say that after four, six weeks of war, this is some Kind of loss for America. It isn't. It's been an amazing strategic success. But everyone wants to know what the app.

Rob Carson (26:12)

There you go. It has been an amazing strategic success. And now Donald Trump, Trump has added a new wrinkle to it. He's going to choke off the, the Iranian regime altogether. There you go. That's all he did. That's what he did. But Ms. Now, you know what they're doing now. Hold on. Ms. Now used to be msnbc. This is all they've got. Are you ready for this? This is all they got right here. That the way they talk about the Iranian regime is racist.

Guest Commentator (26:37)

Really disturbing in the messaging around the war recently. And Ammonite, I really want your thoughts on this. In particular is some of the language and the description of their opponent. Sort of the way they seem to create this image of the Iranians and all of their sort of proxies or allies, the sort of imagery that they conjure up. And I think that it takes a certain amount of arrogance and I'm also going to say it, a bit of racism to constantly talk about people like they are savages. That is a word that we have heard. Hexethus.

Rob Carson (27:09)

Yeah. Because you see, they murdered 35,000 of their own people. What would you call them? You know, what would you call them? Buddies. Honestly, so ridiculous. So ridiculous. So ridiculous. I was mentioning Trump's meme. Depicting himself as Jesus Christ draws backlash from allies. Well, of course it does. He was trolling the Pope. He was trolling the Pope because the Pope is a typical liberal, I mean, left leaning liberal, just like the previous Pope. And honestly, I ought to just stay the hell out of politics. JP II was the last pope who really, you know, spoke the truth and sided with good when it came to international, international relations. And he actually helped to precipitate the fall of the Berlin Wall in the Soviet Union. But Pope Francis is just, is just a liberal. He probably has a coexist bumper sticker on the back of his, his popemobile, you know, spelled with religious symbols and all that. And so Donald Trump. Donald Trump. I'm sorry, Brian, What? Oh, I said, I said Francis, didn't I? Francis was before Lee. Thank you, Brian. I appreciate that I should know this. I'm Catholic, for crying out loud. I'm Catholic. But Leo, Leo's just another lib. Leo the lib. And Donald Trump's trolling him. How else are you going to pro. How do you. Would you really want to get under the skin of the Pope who's spewing nonsense to a billion Catholics so they will not like what Donald Trump is doing in Iran. What are you going to do? You're going to do something like this? I don't care. It doesn't even matter. I was sending out to some friends of mine because today Donald Trump retruthed my post about my Rob Carson's what in the World TV show. Because he loves the TV show. Donald Trump loves my TV show, Rob Carson's what in the World. And he re truthed me twice. And I started getting all of this stuff coming in and all of this kind of. And then every once in a while, man, it's really great. Donald Trump re truthed you. How about you tell him not to put up memes about him being Jesus Christ? I said, I don't care about that. If you want to get under the skin of the Pope, who is a liberal, liberal Leo, that's what you're going to do. That's. He's an MMA fighter, guys. He's an mma. He's not. He doesn't fight with the Marcus of Queensbury Rules. He's an MMA fighter. And if the Pope's going to mouth off and get into his politics, Donald Trump's going to troll him. And it just causes people's heads to expose. I understand that. I absolutely understand why it makes people's heads explode. But honestly, are you really surprised if you. If you are? I mean, honestly. Wow. By the way, this weekend I went into Washington, D.C. and I saw the. The Cherry Blossom Parade down, starting about. At the African American Museum, which, by the way, the Museum of African History, one of the most beautiful museums. It's new since I got. It's beautiful on the outside, beautiful building. Oh, my gosh. But anyway, it started there and it went all the way down, you know, the street past the. The different museums and what that. And my friends noticed that the city is that shining city on the hill now. It is absolutely spotless. No litter on the ground, no cigarettes on the ground, nothing on the ground. No homeless people, no people with the shopping carts full of garbage, none of it. And then I went to Dupont Circle. There must have been a thousand people there. I have never seen Dupont Circle without, you know, grocery carts full of garbage and homeless people. It was a thousand people sitting in the benches around Dupont Circle and then people having picnics and throwing Frisbees. I've never seen it like that.

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 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 sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghost bed. 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 Ghostbed. That is the Rob Carson show. Oh, don't worry. We're gonna talk about Eric Swalwell. Eric swallows. Well, he's done. He's cooked. He's out, man. He is so. He is the, the turkey thermometer is just, is out. He is completely finished, over, done. And there's a lot of reasons why the Democrat party and this was the easiest give up for them. It was, it was super easy. I mean, you still got Democrats defending, you know, other Democrats who should have been removed from Congress for their behavior. But, man, they thr through him under the bus. Under the bus. And there's. There's a good reason for it. It all has to do with. With the governorship of the state of California. So we'll get to that on the. On the show. So I took my friends into there, from Pittsburgh, into Washington, D.C. and I got to tell you, I've never felt prouder of. Of my country that I do right now. I lived in the Washington, D.C. area for 12 years. Lived in German Down, Maryland, about 25 miles north of the District. Drove 25 miles each way for work for 12 years. And I used to go into the city. And I remember Dupont Circle was never really that great. It was always homeless people sitting. They got this circle of benches all the way around at several concentric circles of benches where hundreds of people can sit. And this weekend, they were filled with people just enjoying the day. Just enjoying the day. There was this little art sale they had to artists and jewelers and whatnot in all of the tentacles that, you know, the. The offshoot shoots the offshoots, the streets from Dupont Circle, because the. The city was designed after Paris, I guess, essentially, or. Or Rome, kind of a concentric circle, and then the offshoots of the streets and whatnot. And so it was crowded with people. Crowded with people. I wore a maga hat. I never had a maga hat before. I got bought it from a street at the Cherry Blossom Parade, and I got two hats, met two wonderful older women from Georgia. They. They took a bus up to see the Blossom Parade, and I ended up buying an extra hat. I gave one of them a hat, and I said, you know, I'm sorry I didn't get two, but I wanted you to have one. And I wore the hat around it, and nobody said anything at the Cherry Blossom Parade. In fact, I kept getting all the way, even in Dupont Circle, people going up to me and going, hey, nice hat. Nice hat. Because I wasn't gonna let people kowtow me or make me feel bad about wearing the hat, which is kind of what I expected. But there were a lot of patriotic hats down there, a lot of. A lot of conservatives in the D.C. area. And it didn't happen until I got out to the metro. I got on the Metro. This. This black woman. Doesn't matter if she's black, but she was. I'm just describing her. She starts screaming at me, you an F. And this and that and this and that. And I said, oh, you're a moron. Who cares? What you think thing? I probably would have handled it differently had I had it to do over again. But as it was, I overpowered her verbally and she scurried off the train. And then this young woman was up there flipping me off and inferring something like, I have a small manhood, right? And I said, oh, you are so mature. I said, you're a child. You're a child. Get some life experience and grow the hell up. But anyway, if I did do it again, I'm going to whip my camera out, I'm going to videotape them, and I confront them and just, you know, calmly say, really, what's this all about? I'm not going to be. But it. Anyway, I didn't. It tripped me up. I wasn't ready for that. But I got to Dupont Circle. I'm walking around all these artists tents and everything. You're expecting I'd get every dirty look in the, you know, you could possibly imagine. Nothing, nothing, nothing. And this city looks beautiful. There's no garbage. There's no homeless. You see a homeless every once in a while, but no garbage, you know, no. No shopping carts full of garbage. None of that. None of them passed out. None of them, you know, on heroin. Have you really cleaned up the city? City really, really cleaned up this city. And even my friends, they said, wow, this is really remarkable. It's really remarkable. And, you know, the people of DC Are enjoying this. The people of DC Are enjoying going out in their neighborhoods. I talked to a bunch of people, I said, there are kids in Anacostia now who can ride their bikes on the street without getting shot. They could sit out on their stoop and talk with their neighbors without fear of that. You could drive down. I never felt any worry about parking in downtown D.C. nothing like that. Nothing like that at all. And there were National Guard troops up and down the parade route, standing there. And I shook their hands and I said, thank you. There was a whole contingent there from Mississippi there. I saw the park police there. They had their big armored vehicle there. They had a kid sitting up on the hood getting a picture. And then I went over, got a picture, and I told them, thank you, guys. And they talked about working with the National Guard and all of that. And it was, you know what? This is the thing. This city is clean now. This city is great now. This city's only going to get better. And the people of Washington, D.C. know it. They just don't want to give Donald Trump for it. And I'll tell you, the people who really appreciate it. And who are leaving the Democrat Party the most because I spent a lot of time with them the last two weeks and those are black people. Yesterday I went to a ballgame with a woman who left the Democrat Party about a year ago. She used to do knock on doors for Barack Obama. Obama and Joe Biden was a big player in Annapolis. And I took her to the ball game yesterday and we went out on another excursion a couple weeks ago to Annapolis and she left. And she was called every name in the book. It was like she had strayed off the Democrat thought plantation and they sent the dogs after she said she was floored. She was called the C word. She was called the N word, even by white people. It was unbelievable. And I'm going to tell you right now, this is turning on the Democrat Party. All the Democrat Party has right now are old boomers, old ladies, nut job, young females and the emasculated old men that hang with that crowd. That's the Democrat Party. And it's becoming more and more obvious. And I hope that what Donald Trump did to D.C. and Memphis will finally go to Chicago. We'll finally go to East St. Louis, we'll finally go to Gary, Indiana. We'll finally go to Los Angeles, we'll finally go to San Francisco and turn this country around. Because I'm going to tell you, I am so proud of this city and the way it is right now. It really is that shining city on the hill that it should have been. It's just beautiful here right now. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I have never, in the time that I in Washington, D.C. i've been here now 13 years pretty much. It's kind of weird. Iowa boy living in D.C. for 13 years altogether. I've never, when I was around Dupont Circle, I never wanted to go into Dupont Circle. It's this big park in the middle of the, you know, in the middle of all these streets going out. And I never, because it was always homeless people. It was always garbage. And it was joy. I saw baby stroll. It was amazing. I went to, by the way, I went to an Orioles game yesterday. The only thing I didn't like about it was the jerseys are $175. Are you out of your nut? Are you out of your net? $175 for a jersey? Are you freaking crazy? But it's an official truth. I don't care. You're out of your net. $9 hot dog, $15 french fries. Wasn't crazy about that.

What's crazy about sitting in the front row on the. On the first baseline? And. And I was. I got on the. I got on the jumbotron. I got on the jumbotron. You always wonder what would happen if you got on the jumbotron. I look up, I'm like, oh, my God. I look. I look like hell, but I'm on the jumbotron. So I started going crazy. It was. It was really cool. It was really cool. And I'm gonna tell you something about Orioles fans. A lot of conservatives there. My. My date and a good friend of your name, Tim Fazenbaker, he's a politician running for officer. He said he heard people talking about me. Rob Car. People recognize me. Tim was sitting next to this. This girl, probably in her 20s. She's from Frederick, Maryland. And he was talking about Rob Carson over here. And she goes, oh, my God. I listen to Rob Carson all the time. Can I get a picture? So I got a picture with her. I posted on social media. Her name is Lauren. And there's just a lot of conservatism in baseball. A lot of the young men playing baseball right now are conservatives. A lot of young Gen Z men are turning in that direction, which is pretty cool. And I got to tell you, I just. The people of Baltimore. I' loved Baltimore. I wish that Donald Trump could send National Guard troops into Baltimore because they've killed the Inner harbor in Baltimore. The Democrats have destroyed it. West Moore, this idiot mayor of Baltimore have ruined it. All the business is gone. All of the joy that was for the inner. The Inner harbor should be crowded with tens of thousands of people every single weekend, but they've killed it. Donald Trump brings in the National Guard. Georgetown, you got 100 people waiting to cross the walk in Georgetown because it's so crowded. You got Dupont Circle that is completely crowded. You had hundreds of thousands of people in town for the. For the parade. I'm going to tell you, do not give up. Overwhelm them with joy, patriotism, and faith. It's working. It's working. All right. Eric Swalwell. So much goodness. Coming up on the second hour of the Rob Carson show. And Gordon Chang as well. Don't go anywhere.
