The Rob Carson Show — "Common Sense vs. Nonsense: Nashville Edition"

Date: December 3, 2025
Host: Rob Carson (Newsmax)

Overview

This energetic, humorous, and satirical episode of "The Rob Carson Show" centers on the aftermath of a Tennessee congressional special election, using it as a springboard to critique what Rob Carson terms the “nonsense” of today’s Democratic Party, juxtaposed with the “common sense” of conservatives. Carson uses his trademark mix of political commentary, parody, and cultural references to dissect recent news, including Democratic election strategy, the handling of narco-terrorist threats, and conservative momentum in culture and policy. Throughout, he maintains a playful, bombastic tone, peppered with impersonations, parody songs, and biting quips.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Nashville Special Election — A "Cat Lady" Defeat for Democrats

• Analysis: Carson opens by announcing the decisive defeat of what he sardonically labels the “crazy cat lady Libtard” Democratic candidate in Nashville. He characterizes her as a far-left, anti-police, anti-country music progressive out of step with Tennessee’s values.
  • Carson: "She got her rear end kicked up between her shoulders yesterday by a Republican, but he only won by 10 points. Well, Trump won by 20. He's not Trump." (03:00)
• Democratic Primary Critique: The host argues Democrats continually pick unelectable extremists, predicting this trend spells further defeat in 2026.
  • Carson: "They picked the liberal wingnut, the person who said she hated country music in Nashville... That's the problem Democrats face in primaries all over the country in 2026, that they may nominate left wing nut who can't win the general." (04:05)
• Cultural Satire: Extended analogies compare liberal migration to “aliens from Independence Day,” and Democratic voters to “useful idiots.”
  • Carson: "This is what happens when Democrats move into conservative areas. They're like the aliens from Independence Day. They move in, they consume all the resources, they destroy everything, and then they move on." (05:10)

2. The Democrat Party’s “Nonsense” vs. Conservative “Common Sense”

• Comedy as Culture War: Carson celebrates what he sees as a turning of the tide, with conservative comedy on the ascendancy because "the left can't be taken seriously anymore."
  • Carson: "If I can't trust you not to put a boy in a girl's locker room, why would I ever listen to you about tax or health care policy? You're a lunatic." (09:29)
  • Carson: "If we're the party of common sense, they are reflexively the party of uncommon nonsense... 2024 would have to be the year we return from nonsense to common sense. And I was right." (09:54)
• Historical Reference: Derides recent GOP losses in New York and Virginia as a “fart in the Cat 5 hurricane.” (11:33)
• Criticism of Left-Wing Candidates: Targets specific policy stances ("defund the police", "men can be pregnant”) as out-of-touch and absurd.
  • Carson: "She believes this nonsense. She believes, oh, you gotta defund the police. She doesn't even realize because she's never had a rapist or murderer, you know, track her down." (23:27)

3. Trump Era, the "Cabinet Super Friends," and Policy Wins

• Parodic Cabinet Meeting: Carson recounts a mock meeting with Trump’s “cabinet super friends,” poking fun at politicians and referencing fraud in immigration programs.
  • Carson: "Our first super friend, Kristi Noem... 50% of them are fraudulent. Which means that that wacko Governor Walls either is an idiot or he did it on purpose." (14:44)
• Mockery of Dem Leaders: Targets MN Gov. Tim Walz as a corrupt "Elmer Fudd impersonator."
• Affordability Crisis: Parodies Democratic talking points about affordability; highlights economic hardships under Biden, touts Trump’s record instead.
  • Carson (channeling JD Vance): "It is absurd Democrats talk about an affordability crisis that they created... under the Biden administration, the average American family lost over $3,000 in household income." (17:47)

4. Parody & Satire — Pete Hegseth, Narco-Terrorists, and Media

• Parody Song ("Trust Pete") mocks criticism of military operations targeting narco-traffickers.
  • Lyrics: "I trust Pete. My faith in Pete's complete... He's taken out drum boats beautifully." (19:58)
• Rebuffing War Crimes Allegations: Carson (and guests) ridicule Democratic suggestions that taking out narco-terrorist boats constitutes war crimes.
• Media Satire: Lampoons Democratic politicians who minimize the threat of narco-terrorists.
  • Carson: "They think that, you know, antifa doesn't exist. Narco terrorists that don't exist. But QAnon is definitely real." (32:14)
• Parody of the View: Lampoons The View's takes on social and political issues, quoting Bill Maher:
  • Maher via Carson: "We got to do something about the view." (36:44)

5. Demms and Retribution Rhetoric

• Hakeem Jeffries Clip: Carson plays and reacts to Jeffries’ warnings about Republican prosecution.
  • Carson: "That's called retribution. He's threatening retribution. Which, of course, you know, they all said Donald Trump was going to do. And it wasn't retribution. It was accountability for all the bull crap that the Democrats pulled on him and us." (22:09)

6. Policy Notes: Social Security, Dell Foundation, and Venezuela

• Michael & Susan Dell Initiative: Discusses a plan to give newborns $1,000 in savings towards wealth-building, contrasting this with Social Security’s failings.
  • Carson: "Wait until your kid born now is worth $750,000 at age 35 and Social Security is still giving your pittance at the end of the month." (24:40)
• Venezuela: Predicts Trump will topple Maduro “without firing a shot,” mocks Democratic sympathy for “narco-terrorists.”

7. Mocking the Next Media Freak-Out

• Trump’s Health as the “Next Thing”: Satirizes media obsession with Trump’s health post-cabinet meeting.
  • Carson: "And of course then the MRI comes out and everything's fine and there's your next thing. Another one that went down to the bottom of the ocean." (30:08)
• Scott Jennings callout: Defends Trump’s stamina:
  • Jennings: "There's nothing wrong with this man. He's clearly fine. And he's up all hours of the night communicating with the American people." (38:53)
• Contrasts with Biden: Mocks media’s glowing coverage of Biden’s faculties.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Democrat Election Strategy:
  • "Democrats win elections. They lie about who they are. They get a bunch of useful idiots in there to vote for them or people who completely agree with everything she said. No police, no ice, no religion, hate country music, hate people, adopt 10,000 cats, the whole deal." (06:15)
• On Wake-Up Call for Left:
  • “They did that in Illinois, they did that in New York, they did that in California. Do you get it? Do you get it? This was a refutation of the bat guano craziness of the left.” (05:22)
• On Nashville:
  • "Ten point keel hauling of a crazy cat lady by a decent Republican down there." (13:40)
• On Media's Take:
  • "And all the national media is like, she only lost by 10 points. This is a major, you know, warning shot over Trump's bow and all of that crap." (11:50)

  • "Their mission, to fight injustice, to right that which is wrong, and to serve all mankind. Let's start with our first super friend, Kristi Noem..." (14:37)
