Hold it now.

[Rob Carson]

You are about to hear the most.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

Interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World wide web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. This is hour number three of the Rob Carson show on a Tuesday. I'm gonna be off Friday, going to Philadelphia for a very special gathering. Looking forward to it. I'm invited up by Doug Mastriano, the man who should be governor in the state of Virginia. He is a state senator now and he's an incredible human being. Here's what he's invited me to. Listen to this. Listen to this. September 12, 1782, Congress recognized the Aitken Bible as the bible of the Revolution. June of this year, the Senate of Pennsylvania passed Resolution 131 recognizing the 12th of September as the day of the Bible. In honor of that historic event on the eve of America's 250th birthday, the National Park Service has given us and exclusive access to Congress hall in Independence Square in Philadelphia to commemorate this amazing day where all this happened during the American Revolution. We'll be in the room where the founding of the nation happened, where historic events were decided and history changed forever. It is an exclusive event and as it only seats 86 people, the same number that sat in our Congress at that time. I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be one of them. Oh, my gosh. I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy. It's gonna be amazing. I'm gonna do my level best to cover it for you so you can experience it with me. Because it is. It's an honor. I don't even know what to say. You know, five years ago, selling cars, hopeless alcoholic, Saved. Saved. And then you and I went through all this and now I'm here. I'm here in the nation's capital. It is. It is overwhelming. And at times I do have to pinch myself. You know, when I went to the White House earlier this week when I hung out with Nigel Farage and I got to meet Caroline Levitt and everybody, it is remarkable. And I'm never going to forget that I'm the guy from Iowa. And it only took me 30 plus years of broadcasting to get here. Only took me 30 plus. I got to play a little more of Sweet Caroline. Caroline Levitt today talking about this beautiful woman, Arianna Zarutska, who was murdered by a man who had been released from prison many times. He had been arrested 14 times. His record included armed robbery, larceny, larceny, trespassing, assault on government officials, drug charges, multiple violations that showed escalating violence. Just months after he had called 911911 in a delusional claiming a man made material was inside his body controlling him. He'd been flagged as unstable and dangerous, yet he kept slipping out on the streets. Here's more of Caroline Levin taking the press to task for not covering the story until Republicans started to notice the pattern of black on black violence in American inner cities. And now attacks that appear to be racial in many ways, on particularly white women by people of color who have been in prison and out of prison for years committing the acts who will.

[Caroline Levitt]

I will add, was a supporter, a strong supporter of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

[Rob Carson]

This is the judge who let him.

[Caroline Levitt]

Out the last time, released this insane criminal once again without requiring him to pay any bail. He simply had to sign a written promise to return for his court hearing.

[Rob Carson]

Think about how crazy promise to come back. I mean, I know you've only been arrested 14 times, you're in prison for armed robbery and you tried to hurt a lot of people, but you pinky swear. Pinky swear right here. Pinky swear. That's the Democrat way. Pinky swear. Here is Caroline Levitt.

[Caroline Levitt]

An arena should still be alive. But Democrat politicians, liberal judges and weak prosecutors would rather Virtue Signal than lock up criminals and protect their community.

[Rob Carson]

Pretty much.

[Caroline Levitt]

And perhaps most shamefully of all, the majority of the media get them. Many outlets in this room decided that her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative. Many of the journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink trying to smear Daniel Penny for defending a subway car from a deranged lunatic in New York City. But none of those same reporters lift a finger to write stories about an actual murderer.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, because they have a narrative that they're trying to, you know, forward. It's been going on for decades in this country, by the way, it's been going on for decades. You, you can't mention the color of someone's skin in a police report or, or, you know, of all the dam, this started years ago. You can't say the color of someone's skin or their nationality when they rob. You just have to say a suspect, approximately 6ft 1. Then I saw, there was, there was a story earlier, and I'm not needing a. You know, the lion's share of inner city crimes, particularly are black on black violence. Okay? So I'm not trying to come down on anybody here. I'm trying to save a generation, for God's sake. But I saw another, another guy. It showed this guy, he was actually obviously a black man who committed a crime. And I don't. It was the New York Times or whatever and they said a D skinned white man. I just, you know, I think this is a breaking point for the country. I think we're done with it. I was raised colorblind. I was the first generation, Generation X where we celebrated great American melting pot. We watched Sesame Street. We didn't think twice about it. We watched all in the Family, then turned over to the Jeffersons, didn't even think about it. Watched Sanford and Son, thought it was funny, had no big deal. I've worked with countless people of color. I never considered them black people, black men, my friend Sam or my friend George Nelson or any of them. I never even thought of them as black men. They were my bosses. They were my compatriots. We were. And they're my best friends. They still are. They still are. And all of this came about, you know, about 2012, with this great Awokening. And it's about time that we turned it around. This is, I'm going to share this. This is Batya Unger, Sargon mentioning the obvious. When all of this started, stuff started to happen.

[Batya Unger]

And of course, this started with what sociologists called Great Awokening, which began in 2012-2013-2014-2015, to where white liberals became more radical in their views on race than black and Hispanic Americans. They really drove the moral panic around race, the birth of Karen that engulfed this country, which really peaked in 2020. And thank God, in no small part thanks to Donald Trump, is on the wane. And I'll just give you one example of this great awoken. In 2018, a Yale study found that there was a difference between how white liberals and white conservatives talk to blacks and Hispanics listen. And the difference is this white liberals, when they talk to Blacks and Hispanics, they dumb down their vocabulary. They use smaller words than when they.

[Rob Carson]

I don't feel no ways tired.

[Batya Unger]

They talk to other whites, and white conservatives don't do that. And I remember the first time I saw that study and I thought to myself, and we liberals call conservatives racist.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. This is why Jasmine Crockett gets all girlfriend some of the times when she's speaking in front of a black audience. She's remarkable. Oh, here's Jasmine Crockett. Dear God. Here's Jasmine Crockett saying that police presence doesn't deter crime. I want to be clear that, like, law enforcement isn't to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime. You're so full of crap. Okay. That is what they're supposed to do. They're supposed to solve crimes. Yeah. That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. They don't. They don't prevent crime at all. You know, honestly. Okay. I mean, that's so. I don't even know what to say without profanity. My God, she's so stupid. Not necessarily prevent them from happening, per se. That's. That's so patently absurd. It's one of the dumbest things you could ever say. It's right up there with defund the police, you idiots. And then there's the View. Did you watch the Harpies from Hell? I mean, the. God darn it. The View. The View. They returned. All the harpy. All the View hosts, I should say, were back in action spewing the same ignorant nonsense yesterday. Oh, my God. They were gathered around the cauldron. I think. I think Whoopi threw in some eyes of Newt. And I think, you know, Sarah Haynes, she threw in some bat wings and, you know, frogs legs and whatever. Here's Sarah Haines saying that the National Guard. The presence of the National Guard, even though the presence of the National Guard made Washington, D.C. one of the safest cities in the country in three weeks, carjacking is down 90%. Theft down 46%. People around. I went downtown last night, went to this, the glorious. I went. I went to a kosher sushi place. It was so damn good. Oh, my God, it was fantastic. I went. No problem with people out jogging, women out jogging around, you know, and not worried about getting raped and killed and everything. You know, now worrying about drug dealers. No Homeless encampments. It's changed completely. And yet Sarah Haynes of the Harpies from Hell, I mean, the View says that National Guard presence doesn't work. Yeah.

[Guest Commentator]

But the bigger part, with him constantly sending in the National Guard is it's not effective. So you can concede. Alyssa.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Guest Commentator]

For pointing out there are crime problems in our state.

[Rob Carson]

Like saying a haircut doesn't prevent, you know, your hair from being too long.

[Guest Commentator]

There absolutely are. But what would be more effective is not treating the symptom, but the root causes.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, Take the equal Democrat policy.

[Guest Commentator]

Amount of money that they dispute dispensed into D.C. and House every homeless person.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. That never has worked because they just take the damned money. You know, in California, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has spent $26 billion on homeless people, on homelessness. They're now they have the most homeless people in the entire country. You know why? Because all of the money gets flushed down the Democrat toilets, you idiot.

[Guest Commentator]

But then they wouldn't have an issue in there.

[Rob Carson]

For.

[Guest Commentator]

Politics is less about solutions and more about politicking. And if they wanted to solve the problem, they could infuse money into these communities.

[Rob Carson]

It's never the money. My God. Unbelievable. This is why you weren't missed when you were off. My God, please cancel this show. Then there's. Oh, let me see here. Joy Behag. Har Boy. Boy George. What the hell? I'm sorry, I got confused. Boy George Behar. She says that Donald Trump, by saving black lives and causing crime to drop precipitously and people being able to walk around without getting raped and murdered. It's declaring war. Yes.

[Guest Commentator 2]

A lot of this big distraction from the fact that his approval.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, God, I did not miss.

[Guest Commentator 2]

Your voice is in the toilet right now. 52% of Americans say 55% agree with it.

[Rob Carson]

They love what he's doing in Washington D.C. and what they want to take to Chicago.

[Guest Commentator 2]

Economy is getting worse. 24.

[Rob Carson]

No, it's not.

[Guest Commentator 2]

It's actually really kicking butt and say it's getting better. Also the Epstein thing hangs over his head.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You know, if there was any there, there would have been announced when Joe Biden was the president.

[Guest Commentator 2]

So a lot of this is a big distraction point to he run on it. Being an anti war candidate.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Guest Commentator 2]

The MAGA people who voted for him, one of the reasons they liked him is because he was against.

[Rob Carson]

He signed six peace deals worldwide. We're not in any wars right now. He just said he's declaring war on crime and illegals.

[Guest Commentator 2]

He took on Bush. I guess that didn't include war against your own people.

[Guest Commentator]

Yes.

[Rob Carson]

No, it's not against your own people. It's against illegals and criminals. My God. My God. Why do you even have this job? What did you do in the time off, did you do any preparation at all? Did you learn anything? Obviously not. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Guest Commentator 2]

This administration has made such threats towards the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago. None of it is based on public safety. There is no emergency here and we have made it very clear that they are not welcome.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that is the legitimate governor of the state of Illinois and that's what she's saying. But not people who live in Chicago. It just gone from bad to worse to disaster.

[Tony Schaefer]

No one really feels safe. It's impossible to feel safe in a city like this, especially with the leadership we have. These kids are carrying guns.

[Rob Carson]

No, no. Chicago is safe. And so was washing D.C. four weeks ago. Oh my God. It was completely safe except for all the murders and the carjackings and stuff.

[Tony Schaefer]

Like around the ages of 8 years old. And they're killing other 8 year old kids with guns. It's insane.

[Rob Carson]

So the police is really unappreciated. Ralph Hand under the, under Brandon Johnson. Yeah. Lori L. Yeah. JB Pristo. That's true. Those are three are the reasons why. Yeah. The Democrats are so just beyond common sense and reason at this point. It's just ridiculous. Here's Donald Trump talking about, talking, talking to J.B. pristler. Pristler cashless Bell.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

And you try and reason with people like in Chicago with the governor and the mayor. You try and reason with them and it's like you're talking to a wall. It's just doesn't.

[Rob Carson]

A giant wall of hairy lard. That's what I'm thinking. It is. It's like a giant wall of hairy lard. That's, that's the governor of the state of Illinois. All this week, Rob Finnerty looks at the media's war on President Trump. Rob gives you the facts about the National Guard in cities like, like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. He tells you the real truth about the Jeffrey Epstein files. He reveals the big media's agenda on Trump's health. You need to watch Rob Finnerty on Newsmax. Check out your local cable system. Newsmax is on all major systems. By the way, Rob Finnerty. I've known Rob for a decade now. I met him in Kansas City as an anchor. There he is kicking butt. His monologues are phenomenal. His grasp of the facts and common sense are remarkable. I promise you you're going to enjoy his show. Finnerty is the fastest growing primetime news show in America. Find out why even President Trump is tuning in. More than 40 million Americans go to Newsmax for the news they trust because we are real news for real people. You're gonna like Rob Finnerty. He is. He is something else. He is something else. Oh, oh, oh. Apparently this whole mortgage fraud thing is a big deal with Democrats. You know that Letitia James been exposed for mortgage fraud Citizens Bank 2021 after allegedly misrepresenting her five unit Brooklyn building is a single family home. To secure a $200,000 credit line. This allowed her to avoid higher commercial loan costs and interest rates under New York penal. It's not what you mean. Hunter187 20 loan fraud. Over $50,000 a second degree mortgage fraud. A class C felony carrying up to 15 years. Ayanna Pressley squad member. Looks like Lex Luthor's girlfriend. Once advocated for canceling tenants rents payments raked on as much as $350,000 as a landlord and from a home sale last year. The squad member and her husband Conan Harris earned an eye watering sum after collecting rent on four properties in the Bay State as well as selling a Florida home. These are the oligarchs. These are the oligarchs, kid. These are the oligarchs. Ilhan Omar, she's now worth $30 million. Her husband wasn't worth D word for Richard a couple years ago but she's all sudden worth like $30 million. They're the oligarchs. They are the oligarchs. And then there's this. You got this big board of directors on the Fed and one of the people on that board is apparently committing mortgage fraud. Yeah, this is the lady. Lisa Cook. Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News that she the taking additional steps in investigation into mortgage fraud delegations. The Justice Department issued subpoenas focused on Cook's properties in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Atlanta. Bill Pulte, President Trump's top mortgage official and the housing industry scion. Scion. Look at that. That was a car made by a Toyota. They don't make them anymore. Said last month that he made a two criminal referrals to the Justice Department over the alleged fraud he claimed Cook committed before, during and after her time as a Fed governor. Isn't that just amazing? Isn't that just amazing that you got so many people that appear to be committing so many, so many crimes. And Jim Gossett put together a little something about Lisa Cook on the Rob Carson show exclusively.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

Crooked Lisa, crooked Lisa. You've been fired. 4 inch fraud. That is the reason you were.

[Rob Carson]

Can this is beautiful. Oh, my God.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

On your application, Lisa, you conspired to get a better rate is what you plan.

[Rob Carson]

But Donald Trump got in trouble for that.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

You can fight to keep your job.

[Rob Carson]

Crookedly so they find them 450 million bucks.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

But your crimes are gonna get you in the end.

[Rob Carson]

I hope so.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

Many documents to implicate falsified them.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

You can't hide them. You are screwed. Really screwed. Look at Lisa.

[Rob Carson]

He's so beautiful.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

You have to know that Trump is not your friend.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That is Jim Gossett doing the lyrics and of course, the president of the United States singing, singing this song. The president is able to turn that stuff around for us. So thank you, Mr. President. We appreciate you. You know, I've been telling you for now a couple of years you've got to buy gold. And here's the headline. Gold on a record run. Gold is on a record run. Gold bullion has gained about 35% as of last Friday's close, near $3,600 an ounce. It is remarkable investors regard gold as a protection against bad economic times. According to the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago. That hasn't been robbed yet. If Democrats stayed in charge and Donald Trump wasn't there, they it would probably be cleaned out. You know, just a matter of time. When inflation jumps, you need to consider gold until September 30th. If your first time gold buyer, buyer Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 in free metals on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility, start the process, request an info kit.

[Rob Carson]

Listen, I know there's a lot of stuff going on. I had a funny feeling you were going to be. You were going to be quite busy with what's going on with Israel and Qatar. By the way, we're calling it Qatar again. What. What is happening? I was talking actually last night to a couple of people you may even know, Israel Gans, the governor of Binyamin region. I had dinner with this guy last night and, and Matthew Farachi. We're talking about Qatar and its involvement with helping out Hamas and they were hoping that, you know, Israel would do something about Qatar, and it appears they've done something. What's going on? What do you know?

[Tony Schaefer]

So I was looking at some of the law enforcement reporting on this, Rob, and it's very clear that this was a highly precise strike on a specific building in Doha in one of the residential districts. And what was notable is that the entire Hamas, like, leadership enclave was missed, was actually meeting because they were pretending, and this is the important part, they were pretending to be talking about how to respond potentially to accept the proposed ceasefire. But you and I both know they were going to accept it. So in many ways, I think the premise of them, you know, kind of pretending to respond worked against them. Anyway, the bottom line is they were in this residential area of Doha. Let me look at the map here, because I was just looking at it a few minutes ago.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it sounds like they took out a bunch of senior Hamas leaders. That's gigantic. Obviously a targeted strike. Very big. This is very big stuff.

[Tony Schaefer]

Yeah, it's a place, it's called Katara Beach. So I guess they're all like, on the beach, so to speak. You know, not in a good way, but they're on the beach now. So anyway, so the point being is that this apparently was in midday during the time of normal business hours, and nobody knows exactly who's dead, although the Israelis speculate some of the most senior guys are. So there.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. Well, it. It's clear that Qatar speaks out of both sides of its mouth. They. They invest a lot of money. United States of America. We were talking about this at dinner last night. They came through with all this money, all this investment. They wanted the United States. And I said, well, why would they do that if they allow Hamas to live there? And I couldn't really get necessarily a straight answer because I think there was a little bit of perplexity involved here. But whether it was respect the United States or somehow an attempt to buy off the United States or distract from Qatar's involvement with protecting Hamas leaders as they enrich themselves, you know, it's an interesting situation and I think it's gonna, it's gonna become a little bit more clear, particularly after this, this bombing.

[Tony Schaefer]

So. And Qatar, by the way, just for the audience to understand, Rob, they double deal all the time. I remember talking to the Federal Reserve and they were having to send money, which they do. You know, they're a bank, they send money all over the place. They were sending money to Qatar to the bank there. And $100 bills. You know, everybody apparently in the Middle east runs around with hundred dollar bills. Just saying. So apparently these bills were showing up during the Obama administration into Iran. How was that happening? How was all these hundred dollar bills freshly minted from the Federal Reserve? So my point being Qatar deals with all the bad guys. Just saying they are not a, they're not good people. Just.

[Rob Carson]

Well, didn't, didn't Barack Obama send a couple of pallets of cash to Iran? I think Those were all $100 bills too.

[Tony Schaefer]

Absolutely. Yep.

[Rob Carson]

Oh man, I got to tell you, you know, the, there had to be something. This is interesting. We're talking about this last night and I haven't had a chance to talk to either of the, the people who I had dinner with last night about the reaction to this. But, but clearly something has to be done about Qatar. They've got to get out of the, the housing of Hamas. This sounds exactly like what the doctor orders, so we will see what happens. I had seen a couple posts on social media from Dr. Eli David. October 7, Hamas leaders in Qatar celebrated the massacre of Jews. Every single one of them in this video that he posted is now dead. So Israel is dead set, I should say, on going after Hamas leaders who Qatar has offered refuge. I wonder if this signals, possibly might signal a change in the temperature of things between the United States and Qatar. Maybe this will help them forsake, you know, their direction that they're, they're going in with helping Hamas out.

[Tony Schaefer]

You know, we have one of our largest bases there in Qatar, so I don't know if it's going to change the direction. I think it's going to change how we deal with it. Remember, another organization that a lot of people don't like is Al Jazeera. They're based in Qatar. And I think the Israelis have to be very aggressive at this point in continuing this and Going beyond Qatar. I mean, the other place that these guys are hanging out in is our NATO ally, Turkey. So I said. I mean, I said it earlier today on our network on Newsmax that, yeah, you know, I think it's time the Israelis look at what they can do to go after Hamas leaders there, and maybe we should help them. Just saying, you know, I think maybe a good idea.

[Rob Carson]

I was talking last night, and, you know, listen, I. Tony, it's odd for me because I'm suddenly sitting in the presence of people who are very, very important, and I'm learning in the process, while also maybe offering a little bit of, you know, my feelings and my insights after, you know, living in America, studying American politics, studying world events, all of this. And. And one of the things that I was expressing my concerns about is what is Israel going to do in Gaza? What is holding them back from going in and just waylaying Hamas, taking over the area, getting rid of every Hamas member. You know, Donald Trump had offered, like $5,000 per person in Gaza to leave while they do this and then start rebuilding. What do you suppose is holding Benjamin Netanyahu back from just going in and ending this? Obviously, I guess the hostages and whatnot. But it sounds like, you know, there's something that needs to be done, and maybe he's hesitant about it.

[Tony Schaefer]

Well, I think it's us. I think that, too. We. You know, he wants to see it end. I think he. President Trump has also said he's not big on killing innocent civilians, so he's actually, I think, giving the Palestinians a chance to get out. Out.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Tony Schaefer]

Which, by the way, is better. A better deal than. Than Hamas would have given him. Just saying. I mean, Hamas doesn't care. No, that's what felt it back. And by the way, I think this was another ruse. I think President Trump and Steve Woodcock knew Hamas is not going to negotiate. They always say, oh, yeah, yeah, we're going to negotiate. They never do. So I think this is an opportunity. It's like a. Throwing a character of the Israelis, like, yeah, yeah, go catch them more than. Or they're talking about response. Get them all together. And, you know, I think. I think maybe that was kind of deliberate to get the Hamas leaders together and let the Israelis take a shot.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. I love that. If that's the case. Hell, yeah, I'm loving that. Now, Tony, if you could stick around, I want to cover what's going on in France. Big stuff going on in France. And it sounds like there's a real, you know, Turn against radical Islam. Unlimited immigration not only in France but also in Great Britain. And it's taken a long time to get her. So I'd love to get your thoughts on that. Also the possibility of Greta Thunberg's flotilla being hit by a drone. Whether you agree or think it actually happened or not. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show and it's a Rob Carson Show. Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer on the Newsmax hotline. You can find him on Twitter at T. Spooky. So a lot of things happening in Europe. This is the headline from the BBC. French government collapses as MPs vote to out Prime Minister. I saw yesterday Marie Le Pen, who they call far right, and she was speaking yesterday. And I think one of the, the things that are, are causing such a stir in France and in Great Britain is that they're tired of unlimited immigration and they're really tired of radical Islam and the violence and crime it brings. What have you heard, my friend?

[Tony Schaefer]

So the two things that really, I think bid Macron in first is, to your point, unlimited funding. They've spent billions on Ukraine. Just saying. And they have the largest debt of any European, modern European country, of the Western nation. So they are hugely in debt. And Macron, popular popularity. He's at 15, so it's amazing. No wonder. So, you know, you got to ask yourself, why, why do you have this horse eating socialist still running a country?

[Rob Carson]

Horse eating socialist? Oh, my God.

[Tony Schaefer]

Oh, it's true.

[Rob Carson]

Well, this is what happens when you're a socialist. You end up eating whatever you can find.

[Tony Schaefer]

That's right.

[Rob Carson]

So.

[Tony Schaefer]

So I think the issue is how long can he survive? His term goes to 2027, by the way. So, so like the ninth prime minister he's been through and the both the extreme, I'm using their terms, not ours, both extremes. The extreme left and extreme right, but Pen included, took out the current Prime Minister. So now, right now, they're scrambling to find a replacement. But it's all about saying the same thing. Unlimited immigration, spending, no accountability. And Macron has been accused of obviously being more focused on things like Ukraine than, you know, domestic politics. No surprise there.

[Rob Carson]

I wonder if you asked Macron to go out for a burger, if he'd say, of course, of course. I just throw a Mr. Ed joke in there somewhere, whatever. Anyway, let me ask you what, you know, you just eat around the whip marks from the last race. What about Great Britain? What's going on in Great Britain? I'm seeing, I think you know, we've had these radical Islamists who are raping girls across Great Britain. You've had this unlimited. The same damn thing that happened in the United States, States, by the way, of course, we know this is a worldwide same damn thing. But I'm going to tell you. And I talked to. Are you ready for this? I talked to, you know, I've been talking to Nigel Farage. I met Nigel Farage the other night. I was talking about this and, and, and the, and the gathering that I attended with Nigel Farage. God, I sound like such a big deal, but I'm not. I think that British nationalism is making a comeback and they're damn sick and tired of it. And the people who, you know, who make the country work are still pro. The, the, those who are kind of down with the tradition of Maggie Thatcher and Winston Churchill are sick and damn tired of this nonsense. And at the same time, I heard from Nigel, he's like, we need the United States. We are up against the rope. This is like a Dunkirk kind of moment here that we're experiencing. So what's going on in Great Britain as well?

[Tony Schaefer]

Well, to that point, I think a lot of the normal people, people like, you know, most of us are just fed up with the unlimited integration. This is one of the things that drove Brexit, by the way. And remember, part of what the British left is trying to do is try to convince people, oh, it wasn't that big a deal. We need to be back with Europe. Economic benefits, which really don't exist, by the way. They do better off trading with us anyway. That didn't stop the fact that Stallmer, the most boring man in politics, just saying, yes, it doesn't actually, you know, drive the nation towards a continued march of unlimited allowances. And by the way, one of the big groups that my Muslim friends and I do have Muslim friends there, yes, association, they hate this. They're actually targeting radical Islam like the Muslim Brotherhood and others. So I'm just saying not everybody there, even the Islamists are for what's going on because some of these folks have been there for the last 200 years. Years. They recognize that the immigration, uncontrolled immigration undermines their communities, these Islamic communities as well. So they're not.

[Rob Carson]

This is going on here in our country with Dearbornistan, among other places, and a lot of the rise of radical Islam, the rise of anti Semitism in this country, I'm actually grateful that we know about was previously unknown. We didn't know this sort of thing existed on University campus that said we've got to kick its ass, Tony. We got to.

[Tony Schaefer]

Yeah, yeah. So. And this is a symptom of the left in that they always try to use people's good nature against them. Oh, we need to be kinder. We need to give these people opportunities. We need to understand them. It's like now. No, we don't have to understand that radical Islam wants to eliminate Western civilization and that's what it's all about.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you remember on 911 we said that, we said that radical Islam will wait a generation if they have to guess what it's been 24 freaking years. And look what they did. Exactly what we said they were going to do. And thanks to George W. Bush saying that we need to understand why they hate us so much and all of this nonsense. We never hated Islam. We didn't attack mosques. The left always attacks Catholic churches and pro life centers and, and, and synagogues, but not that, not a single mosque. Maybe a very, very small number never happened. And this is the kind of ridiculous mindset that has brought us to this point.

[Tony Schaefer]

Yep, absolutely. And that's why we have to actually fight.

[Rob Carson]

I agree, brother. Well, Tony, I appreciate you being here today. Thank you for taking the time. I know you're bloody busy right now. Obviously Project Sentinel. You're on Twitter at T Spooky. Where can find people find all your work against sir or just go to.

[Tony Schaefer]

My ex account T Spooky and check out. We're doing a special thing for 9 11. We have a. It's, it's monetized so people can subscribe to special content. So check it out. And by the way, I'd ask you to come on some point, at some point too, to be one of my special guests.

[Rob Carson]

Brother, I would be honored to do that. And I really appreciate you taking the time to be a part of this show. It's very important to us. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Oh, little Ted Nugent, baby. Come on. So Donald Trump was out to the speaking engagement last night and I, I love some of his just observations. And Ben Carson was sitting there. Dr. Ben Carson was sitting there. And, and, and Donald Trump had this wonderful story about how Ben Carson told him that God wanted him to win. This is back in 2015, 2016. And I want you to listen to how the story goes. It's just a, it's a, it's a funny story.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

Should I tell him the story about what you said to me, Ben, the famous words. He was A very tough opponent. We were fighting it out, and we had actually 18 candidates, including me. And Ben came up to me right after the first debate. He said, you know you're going to win, don't you? And I said, no, I don't know that. Think I'm going to win, but I don't know it. 18 people, and I had never done it before. They had all done it. They were all governors and senators, talented people. He said, no, you're going to win it because God wants you to win it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, listen to this. Here we go.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

But that didn't stop him. We went through.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, he went ahead and ran.

[Donald Trump (Impersonator or Clip)]

I said, when is this guy going to. You know, he gave me these words of. Then he goes for weeks and weeks. He was tough.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, you know, God wants you to win. Doesn't mean I'm gonna drop out of the race. That is so funny. I just. I just. I just love it. I just love it. Here is. Here's something kind of. Kind of fun. Yesterday, there was this woman who looks like, you know, your typical Democrat Karen. And. And the reason why now these Karens are all upset is because we know who they are. We know what they look like, they know what they sound like. They look like, you know, Keith Olbermann and. And Rachel Cow's love child. I'm not sure who'd be the pitcher or who'd be the catcher in that relationship, you know, whatever, but that's what they look like. And it's the same attitude. And they're busy bodies and they are crazy cat ladies, and they're same liberal whites that Malcolm X warned everybody about before he was murdered 60 years ago. And this liberal Karen gets on there and tries to convince you that the opposite of Karen is who Karen is, meaning that Karens are actually conservative, which is nonsensical. Listen to this woman and her voice. Dear God.

[Liberal Karen (Caller or Clip)]

Okay, so I wanted to finally straighten something up. I'm sick and tired of Trump supporters calling me a Karen. You have no idea what that means.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, we do. We have a really good idea. I've defined it, and I've been following it for about 25 years.

[Liberal Karen (Caller or Clip)]

A Karen is privileged, entitled.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you are. You like the virtue signal and think you're superior because you have a sticker on your car, on your Prius that says coexist spelled in bumper stickers.

[Liberal Karen (Caller or Clip)]

Microaggressive racism. Anti Vax.

[Rob Carson]

Who does that sound? Well, how did if Anti Vax get. The Karens are the ones who said, why aren't you Vaccinated. Why aren't you vaccinated? That's a Karen.

[Liberal Karen (Caller or Clip)]

Like the Trump administration. Trump followers. You're the Karens.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, we are so not the Karens. Our women are damn hot. I don't know if you've seen some of them. Pam Bondi and. And Kristi Noem and whatnot. They are definitely not Karens. I'm just gonna tell you. And I could say that, you know what? Because I'm an all American man and I'm not ashamed of my masculinity and Republican women are friggin awesome. Democrat women, honestly, they're so anal retentive, you couldn't pull a needle out of their butts with a tractor. That's what they are. Those are your Karens. Thank you very much. I don't know where the hell that came from. That's gonna do it for the show. Have a glorious day. God bless you. America's founded Donald Trump, this administration. To hell with the left until tomorrow. Don't catch the stupid like Karen there. I'll see you then.
