2. Commentary on ongoing U.S. political issues, including voter ID laws, economic policy, and Democratic party leadership.

Tone and Style

Rob Carson’s show blends biting political satire with factual discussion, frequently punctuated by spontaneous humor and exaggerated characterizations of politicians, especially those from the left. The presence of guests like Michael Charbon adds international perspective, and the show’s energy keeps complex policy topics accessible and lively for conservative listeners.

---

Takeaway

This episode uses the Canadian gun buyback as a cautionary tale, warning U.S. listeners about government overreach and celebrating American constitutional rights. Across several topics—economy, voting, gun rights, foreign policy—the conversation serves as both a rallying cry for conservative activism and a comedic lampooning of progressive governance, both north and south of the border.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. T minus one day till Friday. How you kids doing today, huh? I'll tell you what, I cannot wait until spring. You know, I grew up on a farm and the spring in the farm is terrible because everything's muddy. It's a muddy mess. It's awful. There's manure and there's mud and all that crap. But I'm telling you, I am ready. I am. I am stir crazy from being cooped up. I'm gonna get out. I'm gonna enjoy it because this has been. It was an okay winter, and then all sudden it just went, dang, what the heck? So I cannot wait to get. I'm gonna get out this weekend to do the dcr. I'm going to Udvar Hazy. You know what that is? Udvar Hazy? It's a big aircraft museum, historical museum out by Dulles Airport. And they've got the Enola Gay there. They got an SR71 Blackbird there. They got a space shuttle there. I'm gonna go there. I'm gonna go there this weekend. I'm gonna get out. So I am looking forward to spring, man. I am really looking forward to getting out and enjoying the weather and all of that this, this spring. And you know, it has been. It has been kind of a. It is a b word of a winter for a good share of the United States. Did you hear the bad news? Did you hear the bad news? They're getting rid of minute made frozen orange juice. Oh, you know this, it's a staple of my childhood. Minute made frozen orange juice. Now is it just white trash kids who, who grow up on farms who don't have a lot of money that would occasionally, if there was no ice cream around, just crack open a thing of minute made frozen orange juice and just eat about half of it. Am I the only person who. And then you sit there and you put it in the pitcher and you got to let it thaw out because otherwise just a block. And then you got to sit here and you got to chop it in the, in the pitcher to come apart, then finally stir it. Or you can just leave it out on the counter all night and then just pour it in that soupy mixture into the water. But yeah, they're getting rid. They're getting rid of Minute Maid frozen orange juice. It's been around for 80 years. It's been around 80 years. I think I literally moved twice with one can of Minute Maid frozen orange juice in my fridge freezer because, you know, some, you just forget about it sometimes. Minute made frozen orange juice. They had that, they got the lime, but they get the lime juice too, right? And you make, you can make margaritas with it, I guess is what I, what I'm hearing. But yeah, they're getting rid of minute made frozen orange juice. That, that is one of those like Tang. Remember Tang? Does anybody remember Tang? No, no, no, I'm not, no, no, Hunter, no, not that Tang. I'm talking about the, the juice, the powder that tastes like oranges that they, they took with them into space. It's not that other, not that other stuff. Anyway, you know what? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna start off the day with some good news. Yeah, why the heck not? We love to win. Winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning. Lots of winning.

[Chip Roy]

Lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

Lots of winning.

[Chip Roy]

Lots of winning, lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

It's oh so good. I have a funny feeling there's gonna be a run. Frozen orange juice. But here's the good news about the economy.

[Guest Commentator]

Look at the facts of the economy. It is a booming economy. We, you know, the latest report is almost 5 1/2% growth in the fourth quarter, which is an incredible number. We haven't seen that in recent memory. We've got gas prices down. Inflation is headed down to the 2% target. Median family income last year was up 2500. Those are people in the exact middle, adjusted for inflation. I mean, I could go on and on with the positive.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I know, because the, the Democrats did that stupid shutdown in Dec. What had 7% growth? What had 7% growth? Barack Obama was the president for eight years and growth was always about 1%. It was an absolute crap hole. So there you go. That's some good news. And then old Jake Tapper, he decided to have a. There's a steel company in Baltimore on. And you know all the Democrats and people who read the Wall Street Journal, they all thought that the tariffs were going to destroy the economy. Destroy the economy. Destroy the economy. Well, not so much. What's. Check back with the very first factory owner we visited, very first factory we visited to talk about these tariffs with the owner. Drew Greenblatt, the CEO of Marlin Steel, Marlin 95 in Baltimore, Maryland, joins me now. Drew, thanks so much. You were enthusiastic about the potential of the tariffs when they were announced and business was going well the last time we checked in with you, surely things have gone to hell in a handbasket. How are things now? You feel still the same? Still feel the same way?

[Drew Greenblatt]

Well, the numbers are in. We had our best year ever.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, no.

[Drew Greenblatt]

2025. So we are so excited about 2026. It's going to be even better in 2026. We just bought the most expensive tool we've ever bought. Yeah, it's a laser punch.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I thought the most expensive tool you could buy is a congressman.

[Drew Greenblatt]

Could it be installed in this factory in about two months?

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Drew Greenblatt]

We can't wait for it to Democrat come. It's going to make our team go 10 times faster than they're currently going.

[Rob Carson]

Whoa.

[Drew Greenblatt]

They're moaning in China. They're going to be sad in Mexico because we're going to be building here in America.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Drew Greenblatt]

We're going to be buying a lot of American steel and we're going to be able to export to many more countries. We're going to be much more competitive. So we're leaning in. We bought another 3D bender from our.

[Rob Carson]

Vendor in like a 3D bender, Chicago. It's better than a three day bender. I've done those before.

[Drew Greenblatt]

And we've also bought a couple forklift trucks and we've also bought a couple more press breaks.

[Rob Carson]

So we're, you know, and here's, here's the thing. I don't know if you knew this, but if you're building a factory here and you're going to build stuff, you can write off everything this year. You can write it all off this year. Okay. I'm telling you and I, and I've been telling this for a while. No president has ever done what Donald Trump is doing right now. No president has ever done what Donald Trump is doing right now. Did you know in Washington, D.C. the, the, the District of Columbia, they're trying to C block Donald Trump's tax cuts so people who Live in Washington, D.C. won't be able to, they'll have to pay tax on their Social Security. They'll have to pay tax on their tips and all of that. The federal government's getting involved because this is Democrat, this is the Democrat Party. They're awful, awful people and they lie to get elected. Just look at the, the governor of Virginia lied about who she was and then they spring on a Marxist agenda after they lied about getting elected. But, but Donald, everything he's doing, you don't need to be economist, you don't need to be an economist to say, okay, let's see, we cut regulation, we cut Taxes. We allow people to write off everything when they're building factories. We bring down the price of fuel. We shut down the southern border. Let's see, we, we get rid of the income tax on Social Security. We get rid of income tax on overtime. We get rid of, we allow you to buy an American made car and write off the interest. And again the first two and a half, three years you own a car, that's what your payment is. It's interest. So take your little car payment and just get ready to take all of that off for your deduction at the end of the year. Oh duh. It should make it's common sense what he's doing. And it's amazing. And it's amazing and it's amazing. And it's amazing. Yesterday I opened the show and I was talking about the Democrat party and how you, you cannot be a sane person, a reasonable person, a person of faith if you're, if you're a Democrat. And I said, and I issued an appeal to Democrats to please just do something to change your party because your party is doing a death spiral into hell. And I don't believe, I believe this is an 8020 issue. 80% of the country believes, the country loves the, are patriotic about the country, believe that we should work together. And then there's 20% of these complete leftist idiots and crazy Karens in places like Minnesota. And I believe that the Democrat Party, if you can just have like maybe more John Fettermans then we can really come together here. And I think that the divide is going to become greater between the 80 and the 20 as the year progresses because things are going to get so much better. And I mentioned this yesterday and last night I heard kind of Greg Gutfeld echo what I had to say when they were talking about this voter ID thing which by the way most people agree with, including Democrats, but there are 20% who don't. And unfortunately in that 20% are Democrats in Congress, they're bat guano crazy. They are voting against the will of the people. Everything, everything they side on is on the wrong side of common sense and reason. That's it. So I'm again suggesting that Democrats, you do something about your party because your party is going nowhere. Here's Harry Intern with the statistics about voter ID and how much we're all in favor. And then Greg Gutfeld's comments about the Democrat Party. 85% of white people favorite 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favor it. So the bottom line is this, Voter ID is not Controversial in this country.

[Chip Roy]

What?

[Rob Carson]

A photo ID to vote is not.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Controversial in this country.

[Rob Carson]

It is. It's Jim Crow 2.0. It's totally, totally racist. Or Chuck Schumer is just lying. Not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that in Fact you should 20 but have a photo ID to.

[Stephen Miller]

Be able to vote.

[Greg Gutfeld]

But if your political strategy can't survive an audit, maybe your problem isn't the law, it's your party. It's as crooked as a picture hung on a wall by Kamala after happy hour. Same people who tell you borders are fake. Yeah, gender is a choice and crime is the social construct suddenly insist elections should be taken on faith. So, yeah, call it Jim Crow. The rest of America is calling it sanity. Yeah, and when sanity becomes controversial, you don't need an ID to check to know who the nut jobs are.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, and the nut jobs are in Democrat leadership. Not a lot of run of the mill Democrat people who share neighborhoods with Republican people. Maybe even get together and have dinner every once in a while. Although none of my liberal friends have anything to do with me anymore because they're bat guano crazy lunatics who live in Montgomery County, Maryland. Here's a little bit more from Gutfeld on voter ID Together.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They think black people can't get a photo I. All right, so you got to hand it to the Democrats. On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's true.

[Greg Gutfeld]

But then on the other, they think black people can't get a photo id. Right, Chuck?

[Chip Roy]

The Save act is an abomination.

[Rob Carson]

No, it's not.

[Chip Roy]

It's Jim Crow 2.0. Across the country, we are. We are going to do everything we can to stop it.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Thanks for weighing in, Chuck. So Dems are calling the Save act Jim Crow 2.0, but if that were the case, they'd support it again.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, to them showing it, Jim crows.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The Democrat policy ID to vote is no different than forcing people to drink from separate water fountains. Meanwhile, you need an ID to buy Sudafed, Rent a U Haul, and date Bill Belichick.

[Rob Carson]

Nice. Nice. Yeah, so. So what I said yesterday is true. That the only people are going to save the Democrat party are people with common sense, logic, and reason who are people of faith and are patriots. Okay? Those are gonna save the Democrat Party. And if you don't, the Democrat Party is going to continue to wander in the wilderness and then eventually fall off a cliff. All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Guest Commentator]

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

[Rob Carson]

Jazz. There's a new Pew research poll that 95% of Republicans but also 71% of Democrats like this idea.

[Michael Charbon]

So why do you not?

[Chip Roy]

It's Jim Crow 2.0 and I called it Jim Crow 2.0 and the right wing went nuts all over the.

[Rob Carson]

You also did the same thing about vote integrity in the state of Georgia and ended up more black people voted after that.

[Chip Roy]

That's because they know it's true. What they're trying to do here is the same thing that was done in the south for decades to prevent people of color from voting. For instance, if you can't, if you.

[Michael Charbon]

Change your blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[Rob Carson]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. That's what I hear. Racism, racism, blah, blah, blah, blah blah.

[Chip Roy]

Woman who got married and changed your last name. You won't be able to show ID and you'll be discriminated against.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God.

[Chip Roy]

If you can't find a birth certificate or a proper id, you'll be discriminated against. Vicious and nasty. And I said to him, get a.

[Rob Carson]

Friggin ID and a birth certificate. You can do it. Barack Obama did it. Years later he flew back to Hawaii.

[Chip Roy]

And got it for Republican colleagues. It will not pass the Senate. You will not get a single Democratic vote.

[Rob Carson]

I gotta tell you, you know, the Democrat party are so bat guano crazy. Like I've got montages of Democrats just going ape guano about nonsense. Here is the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

[Chip Roy]

It is 100 days of chaos from one end of the government and one end of the country to the other. They are driving us toward a painful Republican recession.

[Rob Carson]

Tariffs that as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession.

[Michael Charbon]

This is an economic Armageddon that's coming for the US consumer and the economy.

[Rob Carson]

You see all of his cabinet members, his other aides going on TV and, and you know, glorifying the tariff mageddon. We have just been through and are still going through. President Trump shrugs as the stock market plunges and the dollar we amid warnings that his terrorists could throw the United States into a recession. I'm just so done with your stupid crap. Honestly, I'm just so done with you stupid, stupid people. And look, everything that was right there just been proven wrong already. And they just keep going and going and this is that. And the louder they get, the more outrageous the comments. You know, like Rounding up illegal alien criminals and Tim Waltz using Anne Frank as a, you know, comparing her to an illegal alien. Where else are you gonna run with this? You call them slave patrols now? You're calling this Jim Crow 2.0? You've already insulted the memory of the Holocaust victims in slavery. What the hell else, man? What else are you gonna do? It's noise. It's just noise now. And this is why I'm encouraging Democrats to just get out of the party or change your party. Because honestly, you guys are nuts. You guys are nuts. Donald Trump was. He did an interview last night on NBC and it was actually a pretty good interview. I want to share it. Interspersed throughout the. The, the show. And Democrats have tried to convince you that the elections are free and fair, which is bull crap. We all know that Democrats brought in 20 million illegals to load them up with large. Yes. To inflate their. Their numbers for the census because so many people are leaving Democrat states because they make it suck. And then they're also registering people to vote. Like for in Somalia, you, you know, loading them up with large. Yes. And they vote slavishly. That's racist. No, it's not. Slavishly Democrat. And all of this. So Donald Trump, he said, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna, we're gonna make sure that Democrat states can no longer cheat in elections. And the Democrats are screaming. Even though Democrats wanted to nationalize elections while Joe Biden was. Democrats wanted to nationalize elections. It was number one. There are priority list. Now they're screaming that Donald Trump wants to nationalize elections, which is not true. You've recently suggested nationalizing elections. What do you mean by that?

[Guest Commentator]

When. And I didn't say national. I said there are some areas in our country that are extremely corrupt. Very corrupt.

[Rob Carson]

They are.

[Guest Commentator]

Take a look at.

[Rob Carson]

They were discovering that in Georgia. Whoa. It's going to get big and ugly.

[Guest Commentator]

Detroit, take a look at Philadelphia. Take a look at Atlanta. There are some areas that are unbelievably corrupt. I could give you plenty more to. I say that we cannot have corrupt elections.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God.

[Guest Commentator]

If we have to. If they don't, you're a racist.

[Rob Carson]

That's Jim Crow 2.0.

[Guest Commentator]

Right? In that as an example. Voter ID. Why don't the Democrats want voter ID? You know who does want voter ID? Democrat voters want it. Yeah, but Democrat politicians don't know. Why don't they want it?

[Rob Carson]

Here's what you're going to have to do. Democrats, you're going to have to come up with policies that win elections rather than stealing them or rigging them because.

[Guest Commentator]

They want to cheat on elections. Can you imagine if I were a politician and they asked me, do you want voter identification? And I said, no, there's no way you could win that debate. But even the Democrats don't want voter id. If they don't want voter.

[Rob Carson]

It ends at that. There's no debating it further. The Democrats don't want voter ID because they want people who can't vote to vote Democrat. Duh.

[Guest Commentator]

Voter id. That means they want to cheat. We can't allow cheating in elections now.

[Rob Carson]

That's why they don't want the voter rolls cleaned up.

[Guest Commentator]

We need to put federal controls as opposed to state controls. Remember this, they're really an agent. They're really accumulating the votes for who wins an election. If they can't do it honestly and it can't be done properly and timely, then something else has to happen.

[Rob Carson]

Something else got to happen. Here's Donald Trump talking about looking at those ballots in Atlanta.

[Guest Commentator]

But let me ask you this. If China or any of these countries are involved in our elections, that would bring her into it. And everybody knows that Russia, they talked about Russia turned out to be a hoax. It was Hunter Biden. It wasn't Russia. Look, we have to have honest elections. There should be nothing wrong with the fact that they went in, got ballots from a while ago and they're going to look at it and now they're going to find out the true winner of that state.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And what are they, the Democrats said about just going in and looking at those ballots that were questionable, that never really looked at, never signature verified? They're saying that Donald Trump wants to rig the midterms because they already know they're going to lose the midterms. They're saying he's going to cheat in the midterms. We don't cheat in elections. We win on the basis of the issues and our platform. That's how we do it. And they're also saying Jim Crow 2.0, which is hack deed, which is tired. They've already used it and it didn't work. And here we go again. It is, it is remarkable, the death spiral into hell that the Democrats are doing. And by the way, Mike Lee and Chip Roy, they're going to do this Save America act next week, which guarantees you got to have an ID when you go vote because that's what Americans want. It's just the Democrat elite who don't. And the reason why they don't is because they want to stay in power and continue to enrich themselves and in their cronies with your money. That's it. That's all. That's that. Michael Charbon, Newsmax Canadian correspondent and host of the Charbonne Report, joins us next. Don't go anywhere. Let me share Brian's story from Alabama. He tells us about Relief Factor. Trying it for just three weeks. At least 90% of my pain was gone. My pain had started to limit me at work and at home, and I'm amazed at the relief I've gotten.

The great band Rush on tour, by the way, in 2026 without Neil Parrot, unfortunately, but, but still absolutely awesome. How are you, Mr. Shovel?

[Michael Charbon]

Mr. Carson? I'm doing wonderful. Having the opportunity to talk to you and your valued listeners. You're knocking it out of the park, buddy, I'm telling you.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you. The show is growing, actually. It is. You know, a lot of the times, you know, people have been in the business a long time. Like Glenn Beck's been it for 20 some years and Hannity's been in it for what, you know, national forever. I've only been national for like five or six. And it's starting to, starting to catch fire here because we do comedy and stuff. Speaking of which, condolences.

[Michael Charbon]

You, you wrote for Rush Limbaugh, buddy.

[Rob Carson]

Slim bought talent alone from God. Yes, many years.

[Michael Charbon]

You talk about great roots. Come on, Carson.

[Rob Carson]

I know, brother. Well, speaking of comedy, Catherine o', Hara, Canadian comedian, absolute, absolute brilliant working with Eugene Levy. I've been watching them for decades. One of the, one of the greatest gifts from Canada are some Canadian comedians. And she was one of the greats, bro.

[Michael Charbon]

Absolutely. I had opportunity. I've been involved in the television and film business in Canada for many years and Won a bunch of awards and produced some features. And I had an opportunity to talk with Catherine o' Hara for about half an hour. The most genuine, wonderful woman embracing. She started off as a waitress at Second City and through grit and comedy, ended up working with John Candy, Eugene Levy, and then from the 1990 Home Alone to Beetlejuice to a whole bunch of other movies, the one beautiful thing is funny show. We will continue to laugh with her into the future.

[Rob Carson]

Best of Show. Man, I need to watch it. Because the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show was just. They had a Doberman pinscher one, by the way. But, but Best of show. Did you ever see Best of Show with her and Eugene Levy? Oh, my God, yeah. Yeah.

[Michael Charbon]

I mean, she's just remarkable. I mean, when you work with a talent like that, you have script, and script gives the guidance and the confidence that you know where the story is going to go. Once the act takes that script and takes those words and makes it their own, they add part of themselves to it and that's what makes them great. And that's why Catherine Hera was such an exceptional comedic actress because she had timing and she did improv and that's. She's just a gift.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. The opposite of a gift to Canada is your Prime Minister Carney. They're doing a gun buyback program like they did in Australia. In Canada now.

[Michael Charbon]

Yeah, they started in 2020. They identified about 2500 different types of firearms that they think that they want to buy back. And they're going to pay between 150 to 1500 bucks per gun. So far, Rob Carson. They spent $67.2 million, of which 11.5 million has been on consultants and they've gotten back about 300 guns.

[Rob Carson]

Well.

[Michael Charbon]

If I may be so bold to suggest, it's a noted fact that the majority of gun crime that has taken place in gang shootings, etcetera, is done with a handgun. And between 85 and 90% of all handguns which are unregistered and illegal come from the United States, not from legal handgun owners or people who own rifles. So.

[Rob Carson]

Argument, dude. It's the same crap. We fortunately have the second amendment here, but unfortunately in places like Virginia, we've got bunch of bat guano crazy socialists who are attempting to go after guns. It's not going to end well for them, by the way. But you know, they always say we're going to do. It's a gun buyback program, but it's, it's, it's. You can't volunteer to do it. It's an involuntary gun buyback program in Austria. That's what they did. They said, well, we're going to buy your guns from you. You don't have a choice, but we're going to, we're going to get your guns, we're going to confiscate your guns and we're going to give you money. It is, it is utterly ridiculous.

[Michael Charbon]

It's voluntary until the deadline. The deadline is March and amnesty is in October. So the problem is that ironically, all these guns they're trying to confiscate back are registered by legal gun owners. Now, I don't know what some of your laws in the United States are, but you cannot own a firearm, a handgun, unless you belong to a gun club. Your gun has to have a pistol lock. It has to be locked inside a lockable case and inside a gun safe. You have to have your ammunition also independently locked. And a gun which sells for, on the streets or in the United states for about $500 retails in the black market in Canada for about 5,000 bucks. And you're paying over a hundred dollars a bullet in Canada because you cannot buy ammunition unless you have a gun license. And you can't have a gun license unless you're a member of a gun club. And there's a waiting list for a gun club. The only exception is, you know what.

[Rob Carson]

Like in the United States, you have a right to vote, okay? You have a right to bear arms too. They, the years and years ago, they got rid of the poll tax because they realized it was used by Democrats to keep black people from voting. And that's the same damn thing that they're doing with all these stupid, you know, taxes and whatnot on guns. And in Virginia particularly, which is, it's not gonna fly here in Virginia, where I live in Virginia. But, but it's akin to a poll tax because it is a guaranteed right and the government is charging you for that right. And that's just not acceptable. Canada's obviously different and it's, it's a shame, unfortunately, but hopefully Canadian gun owners will tell them to stick it. What?

[Michael Charbon]

Rob, it's not legal gun owners. That's where everybody's getting upset. I'm a handgun owner, okay? I'll admit to that. I'm very few, there's very few Canadians who have fired a gun, nevermind, own a handgun. I'm going to tell you the stuff that we have to go through. You have to inform your neighbors that you're considering to purchase a handgun and they have to Sign off that you're not a serial killer, you're not going to hurt.

[Rob Carson]

That's ridiculous. Are you kidding me? I would have to go to the HOA Karen and say I'm gonna get a gun. Are you out of your mind?

[Michael Charbon]

Yep, yep, exactly. Because they want to make sure. Oh my goodness. If you ever had a divorce, they go to your ex wife and ask her what her opinion is of you owning a gun.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I would be without a gun for sure. I mean I'm not a danger or anything but she just might want to mess with me.

[Michael Charbon]

No, but I mean you see the problem. It's kind of like when you make it so difficult for legal handgun owners and between 85 and 90% of criminal activity done by guns is using a handgun which is brought in from the United States. Now I'm not blaming the states because it's the gangs that do it, but why are you crippling legal handgun owners? Now part of the problem here is also that there's some provinces in Canada who have said forget it because they're authoritarian.

[Rob Carson]

They don't want people to defend, defend themselves against an all powerful government. Come on man, read the constitution.

[Michael Charbon]

First of all, we don't have a constitution but we have hunters, we have moose. Hunters in Newfoundland are going to say don't you be doing that there lad. We're going to go to get the Newfoundland, we're going to go to get the moose. So they're not going to sit there and hand over their. Right now you know this whole thing about AR15s and all that where when you look at it, you can take a 22 rifle that you would train a 16 year old on and you could add all these little after buybacks to make it look like an AR15, make it look like an automatic gun. That's what the problem is. And you guys had that same problem in the states when they were trying to ban guns. It was a real minimal rifle that was all juiced up with stuff that you had to make it look more powerful than it is.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well you know, that's overcompensating is what they call it there, Michael. Anyway, we have some more stuff to come up on the other side of the break. We're going to talk about Iran. You guys have Canadian Iranians holding mass demonstrations. Also Canada's Carney's lack of a really killing the economy. Not a big surprise. We'll cover that on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. Mr. Speaker, I recognize that the leader of the opposition is just visiting his riding and will be running in another writing in the next election. Who's writing next time? He should spend some time, I would suggest, Mr. Speaker, with the farmers in his writing, who benefit from our trade deal with China, $7 billion of exports, who benefit from the biofuel charge that supports canola production, supports farm income, supports our future. Mr. Speaker, I realize the prime minister is just visiting Canada. There you go. That is Paul of Year, or POV is what Michael Charbon calls him. I can't wait till he's your prime minister, brother.

[Michael Charbon]

Well, we're hoping for that. But as I said before to your great listeners, Rob Carson, Canada has a problem. We have Groundhog Day. We all stand up and complain about the way it is. And in the end, when people sit there in that little booth, they all take the Liberals. What happened with Carney? He was in a box, brother. I mean, because of the trade problems that we've been having with your great country, we've had farmers who have silos full of canola. And Carney had to make a deal with the devil to make it work. And with that devil deal, we got 49,000 EV vehicles in the same thing. And he had to do it. And he had to do it. And you know.

[Rob Carson]

Canola is not a good thing to be involved in because RFK Jr. Has said it's crap, is not good for you. You need to use olive oil and whatnot. So I don't know. Canola is a very good investment for Canadians to be behind.

[Michael Charbon]

Well, they're growing canola and they have canola seeds and there's billions of dollars. Canola is used worldwide regardless of Mr. Kennedy's expertise. And I don't question his expertise. But I'm just saying, as far as a farmer is concerned, a Canadian farmer, I want that man to be able to earn a living and be able to sell his product. And because of politics with the United States and the inadequacy of the liberal government to make a deal with the state, we have to make a deal with the Chinese.

[Rob Carson]

Well, don't you think that Donald Trump is playing don't you think that Donald Trump is playing 3D chess? I think he's playing 3D chess with you guys. He's trying to keep Canada from doing so much trade with you. And also he's. I think he's actively trying to get rid of Carney, and that's what. And unfortunately, your economy is going to suck in the meantime.

[Michael Charbon]

Donald Trump is a master negotiator. Look what happened with Greenland. Everybody got upside down and sideways and lost their head. NATO had meetings, he's going to invade. What a load of horses. Horse knew. I'm telling you. What did he do? And when he comes back, now all of a sudden NATO's involved. Now all of a sudden he's not going to take over Greenland. Now all of a sudden they're going to allow spaces. He got what he wanted because he went in Defcon 5 and then stepped back a bit. He is a brilliant negotiator. The problem is Carney has not come up to the way that he's dealing. But I will say one thing, I will say one thing. Mr. Carney, our Canadian Prime Minister has been very gracious and civil in dealing with the tactics of who can be at times a little bombastic and a little bit verbose. But if you understand his tactics, you deal with it. And unfortunately, Connie is not flown down there and done a bloody deal and the Canadian economy is suffering because of it.

[Rob Carson]

Bob. It sucks. And Donald Trump is a street fighter and yet one of the. And he's gotten even tougher over the years because he's getting pummeled. 97% negative stories. And he's never gonna change. And I friggin love it because we need it in the this with these elites like, like Carney and these are morons at NATO who he made it look like complete tools over in Davos. But anyway, let's move on to Iran. I'm hoping that Iran will poke the pit bull a little bit more. So Donald Trump finally sends, you know, some tactical strikes and knocks that Ayatollah out. There's a big Iranian community in, in Canada that are protesting for the Ayatollah to be removed.

[Michael Charbon]

We have, we have many Iranians who defected here once the Shah was eliminated. Now let's let. And the Shah wasn't the best remedy that was installed by America, but it was sure as heck better than what it was now because of this religious Islamic State, we had many Iranians who came to Canada. These are hardworking, very intelligent, educated, peace loving, neighbor loving people. And they are seeing that there was a chance now that some of their family members may be released from this horrible grip. But consider Rob, 36,500 people were killed. Protesters. This is what they're underestimating. So there are many Iranians with many Canadians hand in hand across Canada who are hoping that the Canadian government will stand by America and many of these other European countries to say that the Iranian regime must step down. And allow Iran to be created. I mean, Iran used to be creative.

[Rob Carson]

Listen, I've talked to, I've talked to Blaine Holt and others who said that the negotiations that are going on isn't for. For the ayatollah to stay in power. So as soon as he's gone, I'm just praying that the people of Persia are able to walk free. All of our adult life, you know, this, since we were kids, has been under the control of the Iahola and the death grip that he's had on the world. Honestly, I hope they send a messal up his, you know, iahola, to be quite honest. But either way, he's gonna go and he's gotta go. And by the way, my doctor is Iranian and the woman who gave me my colonoscopy is Iranian. So, you know, I trust the Iranians. Let me just put it that way.

[Michael Charbon]

Well, I just got to say, if you consider if you were international power and Donald Trump and the might of America floating their ships, just take a hint from Venezuela. Here's what it is, boys and girls. Here's what you're going to do. You're going to get out and leave and we're going to make sure you're going to be okay. If you want to stick around and have a fight, best be at your best attention. And they don't have the resources, they don't have the money, they don't have the military or the ability to defend themselves. And if America, I mean, you saw what they did in Venezuela. The most powerful military in the world. Not one person died. God bless Donald Trump for that.

[Rob Carson]

We got Maduro out faster than you can get your Uber eats order. It's unbelievable. Hey, Mike, Mike, I appreciate you, man. Where can people find your work?

[Michael Charbon]

Michael Sharbon, Michael A. Charbon. You can watch the Charbon Report on YouTube. It's also Michael A. Charbone.com and I'm on LinkedIn as well. Thank you very much, Rob Carson. You and your valued listeners appreciate it.

[Rob Carson]

All right, brother, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Michael Shore Brolin is always a lot of fun. I really hope Poliev becomes the prime minister up there. Really, really, really, really do. Gold is now 48, 78. Remember last week it went up $500 in one day and everybody sold off their gold and it dropped about $800, you know, maybe even much. A thousand dollars in an ounce in one week. And everybody's freaking out about it. Now they're recognizing it's a gold buying opportunity. Yesterday was a 49 something. Now it's 48. So it here, it's tempting you. It's saying, come here, come here and invest in me. That's what it's doing. Come here. Come on, come on, come on. I just cashed in my last 401k with into a gold IRA. It was a small IRA, but enough to buy a little bit of gold. And they just sent the check. So I got in at a good rate about where it is right now. And now I can just sit back and watch it grow. Burt's gold is the company I choose. You know, that Burchgold is the company I choose because I trust them, because they have my money, among other things. And so. So all you have to do to get in on the gold buying to get to invest and, you know, get rid of that 401k that's underperforming, that's lying there like Joe Biden on the beach. Text my name. Rob to 989-898. Rob to 989-890 for birch gold. They'll send you information. No obligation whatsoever. No obligation whatsoever. Birchgold, 989898. Next week they have relabeled the SAVE act into the Save America Act. Here's Chip Roy to talk about it.

[Stephen Miller]

We worked with Stephen Miller. We were preparing for 24. We passed the bill and the Schumer Democrats blocked it because apparently they think that noncitizens should be able to vote in American elections. So we reintroduced the save act, but we wanted to add the voter ID provision. And there's nothing really new there.

[Michael Charbon]

Right.

[Stephen Miller]

This is something we've had before. We wanted to add that federal voter ID to be one powerful bill. The president, look, he knows how to sell. Save America act is a great name. So we merged the two. We have to Save America Act Act. And look, everybody wants this.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbon]

Okay.

[Stephen Miller]

People say, and Democrats go say, oh, it's racist. This is Jim Crow. That's nonsense. You look at the polling. CNN had polling that said 80% of people, regardless of skin color, believe that we should have voter id. You got to have real ID to get on a plane. You got to have ID to go to baseball games. You can certainly have an identification to go vote in election to defend the sovereignty of our country.

[Michael Charbon]

Country.

[Stephen Miller]

So glad to move sooner or later now. I just hope once we move next week that that leader thing stop.

[Rob Carson]

Sooner or later, Democrat voters are realizing and will realize that the Democrat party does not represent even their interests. And I think more and more Democrat voters are going to awaken to the fact that the Democrat Party is corrupt. The Democrat Party exists only to enrich itself. Did you ever hear Democrat voters ever. Or Democrat politicians ever mention their vote voters? Democrats? They never do. They mentioned the other Democrats in Congress. They say the American people, but they don't care about even their own voters. That's why they've worked so hard to replace them with illegals in states like California and Minnesota. All right. It's all going to catch up. It's all going to catch up to Democrats. All right. Let's take a break and come back. Our number two of the Rob Carson show is right ahead. I wouldn't go anywhere.
