Overview of the Episode

This episode of The Rob Carson Show dives deep into recent political controversies surrounding the Biden administration’s use of an auto pen for signing documents, fallout from the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, a tragic National Guard shooting in Washington D.C., corruption scandals in Minnesota, and the spreading wave of anti-communist revolutions across Latin America.

Main Themes & Key Discussion Points

1. AutoPen Use by President Biden

• [00:20] The show opens by mocking a viral post (attributed to Trump) claiming 92% of Biden’s documents were signed by auto pen and are "hereby terminated."

  • Carson lampoons the controversy, suggesting potential legal and constitutional questions, while implying Biden is disengaged or unfit.

  "Any document signed by sleepy Joe Biden with the auto pen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect..." (Quote Reader, 00:20)

2. National Guard Shooting Tragedy

• [01:08, 14:44–15:25] Carson discusses the recent shooting of two National Guard members in D.C.—one killed (Sarah Beckstrom, age 20), one critically injured (Andrew Wolf), both on duty near the White House.

  • The alleged attacker was an Afghan immigrant admitted after Biden’s withdrawal.
  • Carson is emotional, relating the victim’s age to his own daughter, and harshly criticizes the Biden administration’s vetting failure.

  "She was 20 years old... she volunteered to be down there on Thanksgiving so somebody else wouldn’t have to work. And a son of a bee from Afghanistan who Joe Biden allowed to come in unvetted, murdered her." (Rob Carson, 01:08)
  "Sarah Beckstrom was 20…ambushed while on duty…by a terrorist who was unvetted and allowed to come to the United States by Joe Biden after his feckless, absolutely treacherous withdrawal from Afghanistan..." (Rob Carson, 15:25)

3. Minnesota Corruption & Tim Walz

• [01:45] Carson alleges widespread corruption in Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz, accusing him of perfecting electoral and financial fraud with the use of illegal immigrants as part of welfare fraud schemes.

  • He insinuates Walz was considered for higher office because of his skill in corruption.

  "Tim Boots, the governor of Minnesota, was the most corrupt governor in U.S. history... he had perfected theft. He had perfected the use of illegals to steal billions... they wanted to bring him to D.C. to show him how to do it right." (Rob Carson, 01:45)

4. Personal Reflections & WWII Veteran Encounter

• [05:09, 11:54] Carson shares an inspiring personal story from Thanksgiving: meeting 102-year-old WWII veteran Jack Meyer at a Maryland convenience store.

  • He recounts research into Meyer’s service records and expresses deep respect for quiet heroism versus politicians who tout their own records for political gain.
  • Draws contrasts with “traitorous wretch” Senator Mark Kelly.

  "His name is Jack Myers... and I just want you to remember his name, Jack Meyer, an American hero. I got to shake his hand. I got to meet him and say thank you for your service. Something else, man, I’ll tell you." (Rob Carson, 09:57)

5. Parody and Political Satire

• [03:48–05:09] Jim Gossett performs a holiday parody, using humor to skewer politicians involved in alleged criminality, invoking the “seditious stick” and jailing of political figures:

  "Oh, there’s no place like jail for Kelly to stay... Alyssa Slotkin should be there... We can only hope their sentencing will be a happy day..." (Jim Gossett, 03:48)

6. Biden’s Afghanistan Legacy & National Security Risk

• [17:03, 30:24] Segments examine the claim that the Biden administration deliberately allowed unvetted immigrants, connecting this policy with the D.C. attack and wider security risks.

  • Cash Patel and Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt criticize U.S. intelligence and border failures, alleging treason and planned malfeasance:

  "Well, you miss all the signs when you do absolutely zero vetting. That’s exactly what happened in this case when you…allowed thousands of people into this country without... background checking or veto vetting." (Cash Patel, 30:24)
  "This is treason. This is an act against your country." (Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, 32:45)

7. Democratic Party Critique

• Carson repeatedly calls for accountability, invoking moral outrage against the Democratic party for recent events and policies.

• He decries the party as "morally bankrupt" and responsible for a litany of national crises (crime, drugs, economic decline).

• Urges that figures like Alejandro Mayorkas face justice.

  "There are a lot of people who have served in the military... absolutely sick of this nonsense. There is a wave building, brother. There is a tsunami coming right now to what they have done to us…It’s about damn time that we started meeting out real justice to these people." (Rob Carson, 35:28)

8. Latin American Revolutions & Maduro

• [24:15–28:13] Brig. Gen. Holt provides an insider update on Maduro’s potential ousting in Venezuela, suggesting U.S. intervention is hastening the end of socialist regimes and spreading a "freedom revolution."

  • Hints that authoritarian dominoes may soon fall in Cuba and elsewhere.

  "Maduro was told you need to get out of Dodge and you need to do it by first December... If Maduro cut a deal and got himself exiled to Turkey or Iran... he’s going to be the world’s most wanted man by the criminals." (Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, 25:02) "If the communist leaders are starting to fall... there is a wave... does that wave touch Cuba? It absolutely could. And I’ll be sad because, or at least if Cuba opens up and becomes a free country, I am going to race there at the speed of heat..." (Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, 27:30)

9. Military Obedience, Mark Kelly Controversy & Sedition

• [20:05–23:08] Extended discussion about military officers' responsibility to refuse unlawful orders, referencing Senator Mark Kelly as undermining military discipline by encouraging such refusals.

• Blaine Holt suggests Kelly’s comments are dangerous and self-serving, possibly seditious.

  "Mark Kelly…has a Chinese investment spy balloon company... routinely shows up in Ukraine to kiss the ring and a guy who never said a word when the illegal order came down to get the vax or else. For a sitting senator to do this, it’s not random." (Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, 21:03)

10. Satirical and Personal Elements

• Carson peppers the show with humor and personal anecdotes, including references to holiday hangovers, his Thanksgiving, and playful banter with Holt about old photos and cigars.

  "Oh, my God, I got to see pictures of that. Now I have none, because you look like Mr. Clean now." (Rob Carson to Brig. Gen. Holt, 29:48)

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

You are about to hear the.

[Rob Carson]

Most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny.

[Jim Gossett]

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

[Quote Reader or Narrator]

Quote, any document signed by sleepy Joe Biden with the auto pen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect. He says the auto pen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the United, the President of the United States. He also says in that post, quote, I am hereby canceling all executive orders and anything else that was not directly signed by crooked Joe Biden because the people who operated the auto pen did so illegally. He goes on to say in that post, joe Biden was not involved in the auto pen process and if he says he was, he'll be brought up on charges of perjury.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it is unbelievable. You know, I got into the show this morning and, and I've been doing prep all weekend. I went to Pittsburgh and had some wonderful Thanksgiving dinner and then I boiled the carcass the next day. And I made the best turkey noodle soup ever yesterday while doing show prep for the show. And, and I honestly, I didn't even know what to start with today. There's so much good news, there's so much bad news, unfortun of the National Guard troops who were shot in Washington D.C. last Wednesday, the day that I was on Chris Plant's the Rights. The rights. You know, the rights. Drawing a blanket right squad on, On Wednesday. Uh, I was, uh, there that day. I drove downtown and I saw the shrapnel of it. I, I saw the, the police and the Secret Service and the FBI around all of that. And uh, unfortunately one of those soldiers died. She was 20 years old. She was the, uh, the, the age of my daughter. And she volunteered to be down there on Thanksgiving so somebody else wouldn't have to work. And a son of a bee from Afghanistan who Joe Biden allowed to come in unvetted, murdered her. Murdered her. And we're going to get to all of that as the show progresses because there's, there's a lot of stuff happening, a lot of things being uncovered. A lot of people are in some serious deep doo doo, as Rush used to say, some serious deep doo doo. Including Tim Boots, the governor of Minnesota was the most corrupt governor in U.S. history. And I think the reason why Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party wanted him to be the VP was because he had perfected theft. He had perfected the use of illegals to steal billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers in the state of Minnesota. And Minnesota, unfortunately, Minnesota nice is the thing up there. But I think there's a lot, a whole lot of Minnesota ignorant and a whole lot of Minnesota stupid up there. But billions and billions of dollars taken. And I think they wanted to bring him to D.C. to show, show him how to do it right. Although they've been doing a really good job. Got some great stuff today on Obamacare. How much, who it was written by, why they wrote it, and the billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that have gone to just enrich people in big insurance. And then that's what it was there for, among other things. So we're gonna get to all of that as the, as the show progresses. I do believe we need the first Christmas parody of the season. This one done by Jim Gossett about the seditious stick. Here we go.

[Jim Gossett]

Oh, there's no place like jail for Kelly to stay.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, that would be.

[Jim Gossett]

Alyssa Slotkin should be there. We can only hope their sentencing will be a happy day. Cause they broke the law and they will get there.

[Rob Carson]

To the.

[Jim Gossett]

I'm watching Jason Crow on CNN. He is looking scared, trying hard to dodge the FBI. Ms. Hula Hand look nervous. She was unprepared. I will be delighted when they're all indicted. Cause there's no place like jail for those six to stay in a cells where all of them should be a court martial. It could come any day. Let's Kelly up and throw away the key.

[Rob Carson]

That would be nice. Yeah. A lot of stuff hitting the fan and we're going to get to it as the show progresses. I want to mention something apropos of nothing. I drove to Pittsburgh and spent a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving. A much needed Thanksgiving surrounded by wonderful people in Pittsburgh. The Berante family, amazing people. Doug, a very not a lifelong friend, but at least half of my life he's been my friend. And I was driving out there and I stopped in, in the middle of Maryland, near Hagerstown. And I go into a convenience store and I'm walking back to the restroom and I hear this, this guy at the, at the cash register say to a man standing there, thank you for your service. And that immediately piqued my interest. I said, okay, we got a veteran here. That's good. And then I heard 102 years old. And I went, that's a World War II veteran. And I immediately turned around and I walked to the front to the cash register. And there's a man who, as spry as can be spry as any. I mean, more. I mean, honestly, physically and mentally intact than Joe Biden ever dreamed of. And his name is Jack Myers. And he was on his jacket, it said, Jack Myers, 6922 TDB, 104th, 42nd Division, World War II veteran. And I went up to him and I said, thank you for your service as always. And I shook his hand and I began to talk to him briefly. And he said, oh, yeah, I served in Europe. And he acted, you know, kind of matter of fact, like so many World War II veterans. I've, you know, he doesn't brag about his service like Mark Kelly to. To use as a shield against seditious things, he said. And he just kind of made a no big deal. Well, I did a little research this morning, and he was part of the 692 Tank Destroyer Battalion. 692 Tank Destroyer Battalion constituted 1942. Activated April 10, 1942. Left New York April 12, 1944 on a British ship Scythia. Landed in England September 23. Its orders were to engage the enemy and destroy its fortifications. It engaged in heavy attacks and counterattacks in Eschweiler, Weissweiler, London, Linden and other areas near the Rohr river in Germany. The battalion took over defensive positions of other units which were withdrawing to meet the counter attack of the German breakthrough on the Ardennes. These. There were many men who got cracked crash course in artillery fire at this time. Also at this time, late February 1945, 692 was reorganized from 3 to. To repel the enemy in the. The Battle of the Bulge, thus receiving admiration from the 1st army and the 104th Division. Holy crap. I met that guy. That's how my break started. Unbelievable. And he acted like, oh, you know, I did some action in Europe. You didn't just have action in Europe, sir. I wanted to share that because that's how my. That was the highlight other than the Thanksgiving dinner of. Of my. Of my Thanksgiving break. Everything else was kind of a denouement from there, which means it peaks and it went down kind of like Joe Biden's intelligence and cognitive ability, you know, when he became the President of the United States. It was really something else. It was really something else to meet somebody like that. My father would have been 104, so he was a couple years older than this man. So I felt like I was finally able to connect with a World War II veteran. And I've met many World War II veterans, but it meant a lot to meet this gentleman, just to meet him in Hagerstown, Maryland. And I just want you to remember his name, Jack Meyer, an American hero. I got to shake his hand. I got to meet him and say thank you for your service. Something else, man, I'm gonna tell you. I thought maybe you'd like to hear that today because listen, I don't even know where to start because I have been doing show prep for the show since Wednesday night last week. So I have got a lot of things. I got a lot of good news, I've got some bad news, I have inspirational news. And I'm gonna tell you right now, there is a hue and cry in that is growing, growing and growing against the damned Democrat Party and what they've done to our country, what Joe Biden did to our country, what Alejandro Mayorkas did to our country, what the clueless dimwit Kamala Harris did to our country, what Tim woods and the Democrat Party did to the state of Minnesota. And it is not going to go without payback. Also big news on dhs. Secretary Tulsi Gabbard talking about Barack Obama. We are talking about major charges against Barack Obama for a conspiracy against Donald Trump to overthrow or essentially have a coup d' etat when Donald Trump was the president. All of this is coming out. Feces, meet fan. Fan, meet feces. All of that is coming up. We've also got great guests. We'll start with Blaine Holt at the bottom of the hour. He's going to tell us about Maduro in Venezuel. Apparently he may have already left just parking all these in the, the aircraft carrying all the, all the, the ships off the coast of Venezuela may have caused him to, what would you say, mess his pants and he may already be out. So freedom is coming in time for Christmas to the much long suffering people of Venezuela. That's how we're starting the show today. How does it sound? I think it sounds pretty amazing. So settle in. We're going to be with you for about another 2 hours and 45 minutes and I PR. I promise you it's gonna be amazing. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Caller or Guest]

Hey, quick question for all the people mad at Donald Trump for calling that reporter a piggy. Would you prefer to call her Hitler? Racist, rapist, pedo, dictator, fascist? Would you prefer one of, Come on.

[Rob Carson]

Metallica. Oh, my goodness, I love it. Keeps giving them what fur. Donald Trump is giving him what fur. I want to mention another thing about this Jack Meyer, this wonderful man I met in Hagerstown at a Convenience store. He was part of the the 692nd Tank Destroyer Battalion in Germany. I want you to listen to this. I'm just reading, I want to share it. I just think it's. I met this man. Holy crap. February 23, 1945 Battalion forced a pre dawn crossing of the violent flood swollen Rohr river, overran a well established and heavily mined enemy position. Devastating counter fire failed to halt the attack on Bergsdorf and the high ground on the north. They were committed to a night assault across unfamiliar ground to capture Arnold. Swiler advanced without hesitation. They met deadly artillery fire but secured position of the town by dawn. The enemy then launched six furious counterattacks which were heavily supported by artillery. Self propelled guns and mortars were used in the counter attacks. After heavy, steady furious fighting, it secured Arnold Swaller. Now listen to this. Listen. When the Ardennes Bulge battle was contained, the battalion fought its way to the Cologne Rhine river. Here the battalion helped save the regiment bridge by assaulting the opposite side of the Rhine river with heavy accurate artillery fire. While troops rushed to engage the enemy. You ready for the icing on the cake? From this man that I met, this wonderful man. The unit liberated the concentration camp at Dachau and one of their captured Gestapo agents was the first spy to be executed by the 7th Army. And I met that man at a convenience store in Hagerstown and he acted like it was no big deal. Oh yeah, I just served in Europe. Meanwhile you got Mark Kelly, who's a traitorous wretch on television bragging about his. So you know, he supposedly sank ships and stuff and he's using it. What a line of crap. Honestly, what an absolute despicable line of crap. Just a. Just an awful human being. Now we're gonna get to all of that as the show progresses. I gotta tell you. Unbelievable. I'm gonna share this. Was President Trump talking about these two National Guard soldiers who were shot last Wednesday. One of them a 20 year old woman my daughter's age, she died on Thanksgiving Day. The Democrat Party is blaming Donald Trump for this because he sent the national guard into Washington D.C. and the Democrat Party as far as I'm concerned can go to frickin hell. Here is Donald Trump talking about the soldiers.

[Caller or Guest]

You've spoken with Andrew Wolf Staley. Can you give us an update on.

[Jim Gossett]

I have spoken to both families. Well, I mean I can give you an update. They're devastated. Does that make sense to you? They're devastated.

[Caller or Guest]

Can you give us.

[Jim Gossett]

Well, as you know, the one is no longer with Us. And Andrew is fighting for his life. And his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people, and they're praying and they want everybody to pray for Andrew and he has a chance to make it. But he is. I mean, his mother and father, they were so unbelievable. They were so positive. From West Virginia, great state.

[Rob Carson]

I've had the chance to meet a bunch of these West Virginia National Guard troops and near World War II memorial, near the Lincoln Memorial and in Union Station since I moved here five months ago. And I thanked every one of them for what they've done. Sarah Beckstrom was 20 years old. She succumbed to her injuries on Thursday after her and fellow guardsman Andrew Wolf were ambushed while on duty near the White house in Washington, D.C. by a terrorist who was unvetted and allowed to come to the United States by Joe Biden after his feckless, absolutely treacherous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which, by the way, was a massive slap in the face to anyone who's fought there, anyone who's returned there, whether they return in a casket with a flag over the top of it or with profound injuries for life, whether mental or physical. But nobody ever gave a rat's rear end about that, for God's sake. I almost slipped, didn't I? Oh, hell. Rat's ass. How's that? Here's Pam.

[Caller or Guest]

Bobby, I've been on the phone with Melody and Jason. Those are Andy's Wal Wolf's parents. These are wonderful people. They were at his bedside last night. They are at his bedside right now. They spent Thanksgiving at Andy's bedside. And. And Shannon, I just have to say this. We are a praying country, and we all have to pray for Andy's full recovery right now. He is a remarkable young man. He joined The Guard in 2019. His dad's a career police officer. He fought to keep our country safe. And now we have to pray, to fight, to get him back to 100.

[Rob Carson]

And we will. And we will. And we will. And we will. Here's the Democrats, the intellectually and morally bankrupt party that needs to be swept into the dustbin of history, blaming Donald Trump. This is a desperate attempt of the Trump administration to blame everybody else in the world and not accept any accountability. In this case, there's no evidence, evidence that there was something that escaped the vetting.

[Military Expert or Analyst]

They're going to blame Joe Biden on everything. I mean, it is. It is almost getting comical, you know.

[Rob Carson]

Because he was such a terrible president and he caused so much damage, destruction, death, child sex trafficking, adult women, sex trafficking, fentanyl death. Absolute economic destruction across the country. He was the worst president in American.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

History at this point.

[Rob Carson]

Don't say that. All Afghans in the United States, those who served with our military and who.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Lost their lives and their health and.

[Rob Carson]

Their families in many ways by doing. He's not saying that. He's not saying that. You know what's happened since Donald Trump became the president, since he, he sent out the National Guard. Because Democrat mayors and Democrat governors have let their cities like Washington D.C. become such crap holes. The nationwide homicide rate has fallen to the lowest in recorded history. When FBI data for 2025 is schedul be released in December, Cash Patel offered a positive preview. The FBI is going to be releasing murder rates in December which the lowest in modern history by double digits. The FBI will likely report the lowest murder rate it has ever recorded when the reported crime in the United States for 2025 comes out in the second half of 2026. And you know what he did? He took all of these FBI agents who were sitting on their asses in the, in the Hoover Building or not coming back to work after Covid and he spread the country to tackle crime. And, and the Democrat party brought in 190,000 Afghans unvetted and, and, and Tim fault brought in hundreds of thousands of of Somalis who stole billions of dollars from the state of Minnesota. Honestly, I've had about enough of this Democrat party. Coming up. Blaine Holt, Brigadier General, gonna be talking about Maduro in Venezuela. He may have already gotten out. So freedom for Venezuela by Christmas. How's that sound? Don't go anywhere.

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

[Military Expert or Analyst]

People can tell the difference, should be able to tell the difference between something that is unlocked lawful and something that is lawful. And if I was ever given an unlawful order, I would refuse.

[Rob Carson]

I would.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

I.

[Military Expert or Analyst]

You know, if you have time, you can certainly go to the Judge Advocate Generals, the lawyers and have a discussion about it. If you don't have time, you just say simply, I'm not going to do that. That's against the law.

[Rob Carson]

It puts a lot of burden on the troops to make a decision in real time.

[Military Expert or Analyst]

It's a tremendous amount of burden on officers in the military, but that is their responsibility and they can figure out, you know, a reasonable person can tell something that is legal and something that is illegal.

[Rob Carson]

I would call that a double down. I would call that a very dangerous double down by a mouthy man who is not an honorable person. That is Mark Kelly, Senator, who is encouraging sedition in the military. And I, I hope the SOB is, is court martialed. Hey, joining us on the Newsmax hotline, the man, retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt joins us on the Newsmax Online. Your thoughts, my friend, on this on this Monday.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Yeah, well, it's great to be with you and to call out ridiculousness wherever we can find it, because not only is Mark Kelly trying to sow discord in our ranks and trying to put unsuspecting NCOs, unsuspecting young officers into a position where they're suddenly supposed to adjudicate what's right, what's wrong, what's legal, what's not. But this is a man who has a Chinese investment spy balloon company. This is a man who routinely shows up at Ukraine to kiss the ring and a guy who never said a word when the illegal order came down to get the vax or else. And so for a sitting senator to do this, it's not random. He has five accomplices. They did this for a reason. They did it for a reason right now. And, and then we see tragic events like this Afghan guy who jumps in a car, drives 3,000 miles to go assassinate some guardsmen and, and pulled it off with one of them, tragically. So, so they are, they are absolutely seditious and they're trying to stoke an insurrection.

[Rob Carson]

In my view, 100%. Here he is talking smack because you know what? Little men, little men say things like that. You know, if Donald Trump had ordered him to blow up those, those narco boats on Venezuela, he would have said no.

[Caller or Guest]

You mentioned that you are a captain in the Navy. If you received that order, would you have carried it out?

[Military Expert or Analyst]

No, no. And I, I'm a guy who, I have sunk two ships. You know, I've sunk an OSA 2 missile patrol boat in Kuwait Harbor, a Palmy troop carrier in the Persian Gulf during the first Gulf War. I never in that situation question whether.

[Rob Carson]

Those strikes now, you know, I, I don't know what he did in the Navy. I can only because of his lack of character. He may be kind of inflating the truth a little bit, but here he is, he's saying that, oh, yeah, I would have definitely denied those orders. What's the possibility of that? Blaine Holt?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

None.

[Rob Carson]

Zero.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Look, he's just ridiculous and what they're trying to do. So, so, so here's the thing. What is, let's, let's go through the basics here. What is President Trump doing? He's taking the war to the cartels, by the way, how Many Americans have died at the hands of drugs inflowing to this 1980. 1.5 million 1.5. Okay. So when you are actually trying to blunt the President's progress at the world's most illegal mafia syndicates that enable all the money laundering, all the human trafficking, all the pedophilia, all the drugs, they're connected to the ccp, they're connected to the World Economic Forum. Bankers who say, no, I'm legit. I swear to God I am. Intelligence agencies around the world, that's what the President is pushing on. So when somebody says, I'm going to stop you, I want to know what their motivations are, who pays for them, where they get their own money. I also am not impressed with the fact that the Republican leadership, not saying a word, not complaining, not, not, not energizing at all. So, so whenever somebody does something that's uncharacteristic or American, I want to know who's paying for it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Now, I had mentioned, and I said one of the reasons we brought you on the show today was because I had heard that Maduro either has already fled Venezuela or is on the way out. And, and I believe, and I, and I've said that Donald Trump becoming the President would spread a freedom revolution around the, the world. And also I might mention, since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which the left and Democrats celebrated, a rebirth of FAI spreading around the world. What have you heard about Maduro in Venezuela?

[Military Expert or Analyst]

Yep.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

So I'm getting this from a bunch of different channels, but still I want to caution all the listeners to go, it's not validated. We have to see him in another country in order to validate.

[Rob Carson]

Of course, of course.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

But the president, my understanding is that Maduro was told you need to get out of Dodge and you need to do it by first December. The other thing that I understand is he's probably not in Caracas, but we don't know if he's left the country yet. And I'm told he's in a bunker. But we don't know what country that bunker sits in. Though there are some interesting military movements out of the Venezuelan military on the Brazil border. Does that mean they took their boss there? But I will tell you that if Maduro cut a deal and got himself exiled to either Turkey or Iran, the most likely outcome, he's going to be the world's most wanted man by the criminals and they'll have a big bullseye on his back for a very long time. I don't, I don't know how he makes it out of this in any way, fashion or form and then watch Cuba, because if Venezuela goes into chaos, economic chaos will come to Cuba as well.

[Rob Carson]

I love it. And this is what I was hoping and praying and I've, and I've told many of my Cuban brothers and sisters that I believe that, that the Castro, the remnants of the Castro Communist regime will fall and believe that's going to happen. I really, really do. Blaine the Maduro told Trump apparently that he wanted two things. He wanted to stay in charge and he wanted to be free from prosecution. Donald Trump said no and no. So no chance of that happening. I thought that was freaking fantastic. No movement at all. Trump said, oh, hell no. And when you got that sort of firepower off your coast, when you get that reaction, you better get your ass out of dirt dodge.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Well, that's exactly right. And it's, it's what he, the President has said. I'll tell you what, I'll give you a heads, I'll give you a head start. Start running. And, and, and the big thing is, is again, those cartels, you know, there's billionaires living in Venezuela awfully high on the hog, who now they're like, well now what's going to happen to us? It's like, ah, you're tracking.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, yes. So what now, let me what you know of Cuba and you know, Cuba has been just a hellhole for years. They've got I think 90 political prisons on the damned island. They are tenuous at best. Donald Trump has done a very good job at keeping them alienated economically so they're not able to defend them. How do you, how suppose, do you, do you suppose this domino will fall?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Well, this is the thing. So if the communist leaders are starting to fall and we're looking at this, does this mean Lula falls in Brazil? Does this mean that the structure in Cuba is going to fall, fall? We saw the fall of communist socialists in, in Chile. So there is a wave. That's why it was so important for us to shore up Argentina and their economy.

[Rob Carson]

So yes.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Does that wave touch Cuba? It absolutely could touch Cuba. And I'll be sad because, or at least if Cuba opens up and becomes a free country, I am going to race there at the speed of heat and go buy one of their brand new 57 Chevrolets that they make in.

[Rob Carson]

Those factors and I'm going to get some Cuban cigars that don't cost $45.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Romeo and Juliet for you.

[Rob Carson]

Come on, get the car. I do the, I do the The. What is it? The torpedo number three. I'm trying to remember what it is. Anyway, let's. Let's continue the conversation on the other side. I've got much I need to talk to you about. Blaine Holt. Brigadier General Blaine Holt, who, by the way, hosts a great podcast called Dangerous Intellectuals. You might want to look into that. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Come on. Oh, I'm looking forward to Christmas. I got completely hosed on Christmas last year. The day after the election, my wife asked me for a divorce the day after the election. I wonder why that happened. I don't know. I don't know. She suddenly started treating me really bad in 2024. I wonder what that was all about. Wow. Kind of weird. Anyway, welcome to the show. Please come inside. We've got Brigadier General Blaine Holt and also the host of this terrific podcast. And. And I'm. And I'm drawing a blank on it all of a sudden. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Dangerous Intellectuals. It's a great show, by the way, and I love the intro, by the way, but the stagecraft, the aural stagecraft that is. He uses to promote this show, and he introduced this show. Blaine Hall. It is. It's really good, bro. I don't know where you learned that stuff, but you're doing it right. Right.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

I really appreciate that. You know, I. I did all those things right before I went to college, joined ROTC and became an Air Force guy. I was photographer, graphic artist, sound guy, and I had hair that went down my back.

[Rob Carson]

Oh. Oh, my God. I got to see pictures of that.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Now I have none, because you look.

[Rob Carson]

Like Mr. Clean now. You know. All right, I got to. I got a couple things we need to get on here. Obviously, Donald Trump calling out Joe Biden for. And we. We knew this was going to. Because they just freaking opened up our airspace, our borders to Afghan refugees. A country that was run by the Taliban for the last 30 years after a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was a slap in the face to people like you. Here is Cash Patel talking about it this weekend.

[Cash Patel]

Well, you miss all the signs when you do absolutely zero vetting. And that's exactly what happened in this case when you in the prior administration made the decision to allow thousands of people into this country without doing a single piece of background checking or veto vetting. That's how you miss every single sign. And Secretary Christy Noem has put out details specifically related to your other questions, so I'll let that speak for.

[Rob Carson]

So why. Why, sir? Nobody is this incompetent. Let's be honest. Nobody is this incompetent. It was. It was by. It was by design, the opening of the southern border to people who were unvetted for disease or criminality. This was all by design to take down America as founded.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Yes, it is. And it was the kickoff to open borders for four years. Let's bring in terror cells. Let's bring in the Taliban. And if you think that the CIA has white gloves on this, you're just kidding yourself. I was very much a part of the rescue attempts for our true friends that were in their own sewage, standing outside the Abbey Gate, trying to get in. I'm still trying to get one Afghan woman out today who's still trapped in Islamabad, Pakistan. But. But when that was happening, and I was talking to people who used to work for me on active duty on the phone while they were in Kabul. Three black buses show up at the Abbey Gate. They're all blacked out. They just drive right on in. They go right up to the back of the C17, America's jet, and they. And the Afghan men fighting age just get out, start loading on. And people are going, well, what's this? Well, why are they getting them? Well, why. And then we get patted on the head by the State Department and the CIA saying, don't you worry about that. And now here they are. So now. So we get to this day, well, if the CIA says they vetted them, fine, then you're on the hook for them. You tell us how you vetted them, you tell us why they're here, you tell us what your. What your motivation was to bring them here and why they're now killing American soldiers. And. And go ahead, because we'll just investigate the crap out of you. If John Ratcliffe doesn't get after this, then somebody needs to get after John.

[Rob Carson]

Radcliffe, I swear to God. Here's Jen Psaki. She said that they were vet. Like that doesn't make his or her way. I can absolutely assure you that no.

[Caller or Guest]

One is coming into the United States.

[Quote Reader or Narrator]

Of America who has not been through.

[Caller or Guest]

A thorough screening and background check.

[Rob Carson]

It was an absolute lie, wasn't it?

[Military Expert or Analyst]

Yeah.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

That's not what May Orca said in front of Congress. No, we didn't vet anybody.

[Rob Carson]

We didn't have time. I swear to God.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

So this is. This is treason. This is treason. This is an act against your country. And by the way, it's not happening just here in the United States. Oh, yes, the same thing is happening in Europe. So what we have then is a central command authority, somebody above Obama's pay grade, somebody above the middle managers like Klaus Schwab, Larry Fink at the World Economic Forum, and they're leading this puppet string. But my friend Sasha Kreiner, who is over in Monaco, he says it best on all the podcasts he's on, and he says, you know what they're doing? They're putting the red ants in a jar, and they're putting the black ants in a jar, and they're, they're closing the jar and they're shaking it. And that's what this, this invasion is all about. Because when the ants are all fighting each other, guess what they're not looking up at? Who closed the jar.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And then also, you might add the. The ants to the equation with regard to the seditious six attempting to divide our military into red and. And black ants.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Same thing. Same exact thing. And it's the same formula, and it's happening all over the world, and it's happening here. So. So are we truly to believe that Alyssa Slotkin is not really working with the Central Intelligence Agency anymore? When. When at the Brookings Institute, two weeks before this happened, happens at the Brookings Institute, she makes a speech and says, well, I wouldn't be surprised if, if there wasn't violence against one of our guardsmen in two weeks to the day.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, here she. Here she is. Here she is. Here she's saying, oh, yeah, you know, the National Guard, they might shoot somebody.

[Caller or Guest]

Got upset about the video. And let me just say, they are trying to wield fear. These videos coming out of places like Chicago. It makes me incredibly nervous that we're about to see people in law enforcement, people in uniform, military, get nervous, get stressed, shoot at American civilians. It is very. A very, very stressful situation for these law enforcement.

[Rob Carson]

This is. This is evil, man.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

It is evil. It is evil. And here's. Here's the thing again. Leaders in Congress not calling it out, calling it out. They have to do it now because this is going to escalate and more people will get hurt.

[Rob Carson]

I swear to God, there are a lot of people who have served in the military. There are a lot of people who are patriotic. Americans are absolutely sick of this freaking nonsense. And there is a. There is a wave building, brother. There is a tsunami coming right now to what they have done to us. And, and I hope to hell, and I will say this, that Alejandro Mayorkas is put on trial, that he is convicted, and he is lined up against a woman wall. I'M not afraid to say it because he caused the death of so many people. And it is about damn time that we started meeting out real justice to these people.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

You know, I'm with you. If we don't get to the season of accountability, we're going to lose this republic and we're all worried about foreign wars. You better be worried about the one on Main Street.

[Rob Carson]

Yep. Well, we're not going to let it happen, are we? Blaine, hold. I appreciate you, brother. Where can people find all your work?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Well, come on to dangerous intellectuals.com today's subject, we are talking about entrepreneur radical entrepreneurship by a great thinker in that space. And and then you can always find [e-mail] on the Insiders page, the Irascible disruptor. And thank you so much for the time today.

[Rob Carson]

God bless you, brother. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Would an individual have flown across the country to target law enforcement officers in Washington, D.C. and I mean, the answer is likely no. So why Wasn't the president's first thought, wow, you know, maybe I should reconsider deploying military troops in the nation's capital or in any city.

[Rob Carson]

That's Debbie Wasserman Schultz who looks like a labradoodle who just got washed and didn't get dried. Just the filthiest thing you could ever imagine. That Donald Trump bringing troops to Washington D.C. and dropping violent crime in Washington, D.C. by up to 80%. Carjacking is down 80%. And that wretched woman blames Donald Trump for an Afghan unvetted psychotic Islamist who Joe Biden allowed in with 100,000 others after the Afghanistan withdrawal. How dare you? I'm done. I am done with this Democrat Party. I am done. Those are fighting words. You want to fight? Let's go. Ridiculous. Utterly. This was the line. This is it. What they did by saying this about that the young woman who was murdered, the young man who was fighting for his life as National Guard troops who came here and by the way, they were spat upon. They were spat upon in Washington, D.C. by Democrats.

[Caller or Guest]

Rats.
