Hold it. Now. You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show. We've got plenty more on the other side. We will talk much more about this. Again, you're looking live at the Senate floor as the Democratic filibuster has been broken. We have so far reached 60. We're waiting for the official cat. But right now, 60 votes that would unlock moving forward with this plan to reopen the government on the Senate side. A quick break. More on the other side appears to be the beginning of the end, the longest government shutdown in US History. As shameful as that is, I don't think it's coincidental. You know how I think. But it's after 40 days of wandering in the wilderness and making the American people suffer needlessly, some Senate Democrats finally have stepped forward to end the pain. It appears to us this morning that our long national nightmare is finally coming to an end. And we're grateful for that. At least some Democrats now finally appear ready to do what Republicans and President Trump and millions of hardworking American people have been asking them to do for weeks. But as we said from the beginning, the people's government cannot be held hostage to further anyone's political agenda. Pretty much, yeah. I got to tell you, the Democrat Party kept looking for these kind of stepping stones to suffering, that they could extend the suffering, use every coming week as the possibility to build on any sort of momentum against Trump that it's not happening, by the way. And the reason why the Democrat Party is folding now is because last Tuesday didn't mean D word for Richard to the Trump agenda. People are beginning to realize that election was not what they thought it was, which was somehow a refutation of the great things that Donald Trump is doing because a week before that, the economy was way down on the list of importance to the American people versus Joe Biden. Last year, the Democrat Party tanking in the polls, the most unpopular that it's ever been. And somehow Tuesday, in elections that were expected to be won by Democrats, this was going to give them the momentum they needed. And they realized that they don't have the momentum. And they also were, well, perfectly happy to ruin your Thanksgiving. Perfectly happened to ruin your Christmas because they don't give a crap about you. The Democrat Party doesn't give a flying crap about you. They wanted another $1.2 trillion in spending and they didn't get it. So they threw a temper tantrum and they Shut down the dumb government. There's no doubt about it. And everybody understands that because they don't have media dominance anymore. And everybody understands what the Democrat Party is all about. They only enrich themselves and their buddies. They've made a whole lot of people super rich with this terrible Obamacare which we said was a turd when they passed it against the will of the American people. And they tried it again. But under Joe Biden, it was the American rescue plan, wrongly named, where Democrats pumped $2 trillion into the economy and what did they do? Economists call it the original sin. It drove double digit inflation that we hadn't seen in 40 years. Donald Trump inherited that broken and the Democrats didn't say a damned thing. When inflation was 9% the first year of Joe Biden's presidency and groceries increased in price by 50. I know because I lived it. You lived it too. The price of a used car nearly doubled. The price of buying a home doubled. The price of rent doubled. The interest rate on your house. Triple economy. And he has been fixing it. Energy prices are down. Grocery prices are down. In fact, gas prices are at a lowest point in five years. But this was seriously broken by Joe Biden and Democrats. And guess what? Donald Trump is fixing it. We gave the Democrats a clean continuing resolution to keep the government funded back. It was, it was an opportunity to just continue funding levels as the way they were, which by the way were increased by over 50% when Joe Biden was the president under Covid, they expanded all sorts of government agencies by hundreds of thousands of people and trillions of dollars in spending. But that's never enough. It's never enough. Did you get a 50% increase in your pay in 2000 or 2001 or 2011? Did you get 2021? Did you get a 50% pay increase? Because I didn't get a 50% pay increase. Government got a free 50% pay increase. Government workers, their salaries and benefits are 70% higher than the average person. They got retirement accounts, for God's sake. Government employees have retirement accounts. Do you? I don't. I don't have a retirement account. Every dime that I have I gotta save for myself. But. And in Washington DC the average household income is $265,000 in Washington DC. You know why? Because our money. Because of our money. 19 Shannon. And what was their response that your previous guest doesn't even mention they want to spend $1.5 trillion? Yeah, 1.5 trillion. It is essentially the same failed economic policy that put Americans in the ditch under Joe Biden. And you know what? Donald J. Trump is fixing this economy. That' why 77 million people voted him, because he's forwarded for him. Because he's the only one that can. Yeah, yeah. And we're being blasted by the disastrous Obamacare. If you've had to buy insurance lately, you know what it's like. Look what they did to it. And now they're complaining because we're not subsidizing Obamacare and we're not giving it to illegals. I mean, I remember when my, you know, my family's health care sure isn't what it is right now. My healthcare personally, I just got a. I looked at, I ended up going with a faith based, not really an insurance company, but it's similar. We share our medical bills. Otherwise my insurance for me, $12,000 a year with a $7,000 deductible, which is the equivalent of having liability insurance on your car. You ever had that? You've ever had a car that was so worthless that you just put liability on it in case you ran into somebody and it was your fault and it would cover the legal bills associated with that, but it wouldn't fix your car because your car was such a piece of crap? I had that. I had that. And that's basically what my health insurance would have been had I gone with this other company. But I ended up with a faith based insurance company. Here's Lindsey Graham talking about the scam of Obamacare. They want us to do two things by terrorizing the country. Repeal the $1.5 trillion in savings we had from the big beautiful bill, making Medicaid more efficient. They want to change the prohibition against illegals getting health care that we had in that bill. And they also want us to continue for another year Obamacare, which is the biggest scam on the planet. Under Obamacare, insurance companies stocks have gone up about 1000%. Your premiums have. Yeah, look at that. Look at how rich insurance companies have gotten since then. Look at how rich that big pharma has gotten just in the last five years. Doubled the only winner. Did you, did you get rich like that? Because I didn't. Their Obamacare is insurance companies. They sign people up, they get paid, and these people don't even make claims. People were signed up Obamacare and didn't even know it. Yeah, they looted the treasury just like they did with every other, all these NGOs and whatnot. They just looted our treasury and got their friends rich. So it's a scam for insurance companies. It's not helping affordability. And Donald Trump gave us a breakthrough yesterday. Donald Trump, President Trump said yesterday, I will not accept continuing to give hundreds of billions of dollars to money sucking health care insurance companies under Obamac going to give the money to the people so they can buy better and cheaper health care. And that broke the Democrats. Obamacare has been exposed for a scam. It's a reward to insurance companies at your expense. And I think the government's going to open today because cooler heads are prevailing on the Democratic side. Yeah, before Obamacare, you could get insurance for a family of four for about $12,000 a year, maybe 15 grand a year. And now it's $40,000 a year. 35. 40,000 doll. Unbelievable. Here is Kevin Hassett. Kevin Hassett talking about what Donald Trump wants to do. Give you money to buy your own health care. And one of the things you could do is conservatives believe that they don't want the government to micromanage people's lives. And you know, everybody believes that people should have health care. And so why not take the people who have higher health care premiums and just mail them a check and let them decide. The reason why it could have an effect is that there are multiple tiers under the Affordable Care act of different types of insurance. And it could be that people would rather have the money and go from like, you know, this kind of plan to that kind of plan and save themselves a little bit. And so that's take the middle man out of it, you know, basically giving the people an opportunity to make more choices. Also. Yeah, illegals can't get the money. There. There's that too. Then the government usually left. Is this the Senator Cassidy proposal? I'm sure that Senator Cassidy and President Trump talked about it, but whether he agrees with everything with Cassidy, I haven't talked to him about it. Yeah, here is Senator Bernie Marino the other day after Chuck Schum walked out of the of the chamber, talking about how the insurance companies get checks from us no matter what, even if they are not insuring people. Does he want these monies to go directly to insurance companies? Let me repeat that, Madam President, because I don't think the American people have been told the truth here. This money does not go to people on Obamacare. This is a check written from the federal government to the wealthiest insurance companies on the planet. He wants no income caps, millionaires getting Covid subsidies. He wants $0 premiums that are filled with fraud, and he wants to enrich insurance companies even more. Yeah, that's what Washington D.C. has been for a very long time. It's been a grift. Been a massive grift. People move to Washington, D.C. spend their entire lives telling us how to live ours, and they have enjoyed the largesse while you and I have suffered for years and years and years and years. And I saw it firsthand going through it, living in the Midwest, losing my home, having to short sell my house because of the subprime mortgage debacle brought around when Barack Obama was the president, ended up losing my home, ended up going on food stamps. Watched people suffer through Joe Biden's economy, which was a turd, by the way. Joe Biden's economy was hell. It was a living hell. And Nobody in Washington DSC understands it because 94% of the people who work here didn't go to work after Covid. They didn't go to work after Covid. And you know what? They just can't stand the fact that their gravy train is coming to a short stop after years of abuse. And I have seen it and I am sick of it. I've got much more on this. We've also got some amazing news. Somebody who got so rich, supposedly as a public servant, Nancy Pelosi. Unbelievable. We got some amazing news today about the January 6th pipe bomber. Looks like they found the person. Former Capitol Police officer, among other things. Mike Benz joins us on the show today, as well as Fred Flights on this Monday edition of the Rob Carson Show. Let's take a break and come back. Don't go anywhere. The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details. We need to do this while we have the leverage. Of course there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer, but it is one of the few leveraged times we have. You reopen the government and we lose our leverage. There has to be an agreement right now. That's what this whole shutdown is about. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage. The idea that you would give up all of your leverage and then hopefully get some sort of great deal coming down the pike is just a fool's errand. Working families, the leverage the Democrats need to get Obamacare fixed, it's the only lever we have. Democrats have this one little sliver right now when we've got some leverage. Yeah, that's what you are. Your leverage. Your leverage. Your, your safety in the air is just leverage. It's leverage because they don't want any of their, their friends to miss out on their checks, their $1.5 trillion worth of checks. They hated the fact that after blowing up the size of the federal government during COVID to increase the size of the government by 60% and they just lived high on the hog for about four years, man, they were writing checks to whoever they wanted. STACEY Abrams got $2 billion, for God's sake. Green energy got a trillion dollars plus. People just, I mean, they just walked with cash out the door. And what did you go through? You went through hell. And the Democrat party could have given a rat's behind about you. They opened up the southern border, for God's sake. They opened up the southern border. They let people come across the southern border unvetted for crime or disease while your kids school was down, while your, your business was destroyed, and while they told you you couldn't go to church. And then when you tried to complain about it, they called your speech disinformation. So we're not, you know, honestly sick and tired of this bull crap temper tantrum by the Democrat Party. Here is John Kennedy talking about the fact that Donald Trump won despite the left trying to put him in jail, take him off the ballot and murder him. He won. And this temper tantrum is going to end. I don't know what else to do. I voted 14 times to open up government. I can't change the election. President Trump was duly elected President of the United States. He was in a free election. And the American people spoke. And some of my colleagues are upset about that. In fact, they hate the President so much they've shut down government. Yeah, they hate him so much that if President Trump came out in favor of breathing to live, they would hold their breath now 100%. You got two insane women who, because Donald Trump's HHS said maybe it's not a good idea to take Tylenol when you're pregnant just to be complete D words for Richard. They went on social media and took Tylenol without regard for the fetus inside of the. That's how bad guano crazy the left is. I'm just done with it, to be quite honest. Just sick and bloody tired of all of this. This temper tantrum, this nonsense we've been watching for the last nine, ten years and simply not going to take it anymore. Absolutely sick and damn tired of the whole thing. Here is. Oh yeah, MSNBC whining because the government is going to open because air traffic controllers and others are going to get paid. And I am sorry, I am really sorry for those of you who've gone without a paycheck for the last month because it is a bitch. I'll just say it. You know, I'm going to say it. It is the worst dang thing in the world when you cannot provide for your family. I've been there. It nearly killed me. It nearly killed me. And I am sorry that this Democrat Party doesn't give a damn about you so much that they wanted to extend this through Thanksgiving. They were. They wanted it. They were slobbering over the possibility that you would suffer during Thanksgiving and not be able to get home to your family. They were. And they hate, hate, hate the fact that eight Democrats said, you know what? Let's just open the government so people could get paid, and then we could worry about figuring out the budget later. That is who we're dealing with. And it is ridiculous. It's strange, Dean, to go back to the original sort of part of this conversation of whether he is a good deal maker. I mean, a way, it seems like the president is kind of getting what he wanted. 40 days ago when all this started, he was out there saying that, yeah, you know what? He just wanted a clean crowd. That's what he wanted. Didn't have it lined up with a bunch of, you know, payoffs for his cronies. Like the Democrats have just wanted a clean cr. Oh, this is all about Democrats trying to give health care to illegal immigrants. He just said that term. It is. They've been using it. It's a massive slush fund. Porter's moments ago repeated that refrain. The Democrats had actually very successfully pushed back against. Then there's all this energy in the wake of the election. On Tuesday, the president made remarks, no, there wasn't the energy. You think there was. They think they really won on Tuesday, but they didn't. They thought that that would turn around all of the good that Donald Trump is doing and make a difference to his supporters and others who have. Who have joined his coalition. But it didn't saying, basically, wow, you know why? Because they know they're living better. They know that gas is cheaper. They know that eggs and groceries are cheaper. They know the hell that we went through when Joe Biden was the president. Republicans are being harmed by all of this. Acknowledging that he was on his back foot, and now here he is winning again. He was never on his back foot. How did he do it? The Democrats. I don't understand how a Democratic senator goes, wow, we won really big. Let me cave now. I don't understand. That makes no sense to me. Well, maybe if they're to be. You know, to Anthony's point, if they were cynical, like if we wanted just to hold this out until we get through the election and. Right. No, they wanted to get through Thanksgiving and it didn't work. Unfortunately, cooler heads prevail and people, actually, some people care about the American people. This is. I can hear them lying hard about it. Caused the mess. It was the Democrats. They don't dare confess. They wanted it shut through Christmas. Shut it down. They really don't care. For 40 days. They caused this big nightmare. Smackdown is what they will get. Shutting down the government's a risky bet. I can picture every move that a man could make. Voting Democrat would be his first mistake. Shut down, Chuck, it's on you. Fewer people will be voting blue. Low down. Chuck and Hucky, when it comes to losing, they make quite the team. Yeah, they hate the fact that you're gonna be able to go home and your family and people are going to get paid and their cronies aren't going to get the money that they cut with the big beautiful bill and all that Nancy Pelosi stock market return during her time in Congress. Are you ready for this? Almost 17,000%. Okay. And she's being celebrated like some sort of lion of the house. That's them. We are us. And it's been us versus them for a very long time. And that is ending. Let's take a break and come back. This, my friends, is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. Not proud member of the 4:00am Club. You know what that is?

And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote. What it does, first of all, is it raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans by doubling and in some cases, tripling or quadrupling people. Can't. What have you done since you were in office, Senator Sanders, other than having four houses? I've only got one house, actually. It's only half of a house now and it's going to be sold in the spring. But you've got four houses and Nancy Pelosi while she's in office. The last 40 years, her stock market rate of return was 16,930%. Wow. She earned more than $130 million in stock profits, a return of 16,930% during her time in Congress. And remember when, when we were all shut down, all the schools were shut down and everything, and she stood in front of her $24,000 refrigerator and ate $12 pints of ice cream. Remember that? Do you remember that? Yeah, I remember that because I was, I think it was on food stamps at that point. That was like five years ago. Yeah. Before running her office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between 610 and 735 or $85,000 in stocks in their portfolio. And now they're worth, you know, a couple hundred million dollars, you know, and the Obamas are worth at least $100 million. When did that change? When did we become oligarchs? Oh, I thought the Bernie Sanders said that he was Donald Trump was an oligarch. No, no, no. We've been run by oligarchs for a while. Who do you suppose the Clintons are worth? Hundreds of millions of dollars? Why? Why are they worth hundreds of millions of dollars? What have they built? What have they done? Nothing. We have an oligarchy. They've been living this way. They've been living high on the hog. And whenever you get a little bit more, whenever there's a possibility that you might get a break, that's too much for the government to handle. So they just shut the damn thing down. Take away your ability to travel, take away your paycheck. These people are just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Here is MSNBC talking about Chuck Schumer losing the vote and the government reopening they're mourning this even though it's made life hell for tens of thousands of people, not knowing where their next paycheck is going to be. Having to go to food banks for the very first time. A lot of people on SNAP benefits not getting what they need. A lot of people shouldn't be on SNAP benefits at all either way. You think Chuck Schumer needs to go after tonight. He should have gone a year, a week ago, a month ago, a year ago. Yes, yes. You talk about him and not meet the moment. Right. Every time he gets in front of a camera, the average Democratic voter out there screams, be done with you. Be done. And this will only accelerate that. Yes. Joe, do you think. Do you think the left is headed for a Tea Party like moment here? I mean, I know that you're new to being a Democrat and you're not like some big lefty or progressive, but this does seem not a Tea Party movement. It's not a move towards freedom. But there is a division in the Democrat Party between communists and the Democrats. And the Democrat Party, as I told you, is either gonna have to reinvent itself or disappear in the dustbin of history. Right now they're leaning into the dustbin. The same thing happened with the Republican Party. It went true maga, which is, by the way, foundational versus the establishment Republican Party. The country club Republican Party represented by Mitt Romney. We did not have a choice for president since Reagan. We have not had a choice for a presidential candidate since Reagan. We've always had to settle. We had to settle for John McCain. We had to settle for Mitt Romney because the party chose them. They did. Nobody wanted frickin Mitt Romney to be the candidate. Nobody wanted John McCain to be the candidate. We always come with this giant field of candidates of promising candidates and ultimately end up having to settle for somebody and vote for them just because they're Republican. Donald Trump changed that. And the left can't fricking stand it. And you as Democrats ought to be a little pissed off too, because you haven't had a choice either. Hillary Clinton was chosen. Bernie Sanders was driven out. Joe Biden was chosen. Everyone else was driven out. During the 2024 election, he was made the candidate. Everybody else was driven out. And then when it became so apparent that his brain is made of pudding, then they decided to put Kamala Harris in there. If I were a Democrat, I'd be a little ticked off too. And if you're still down with the Democrat Party, I mean, are you out of your freaking mind? Are you out of your nut? I said before the election 80% of us believe the country was headed in the wrong direction. 80% of us can come together to save it. And now we have eight Democrats who are at least saying okay, let's open the damn government so people can get paid. That gave me almost a little bit, I mean a little bit of hope that maybe some people are gonna pull their heads out of their butts Democrats and come back to their senses and recognize we're the greatest country in the history of the world. We can disagree with one another. Democrats are for a strong federal government. Republicans are for states rights. But it has become this bet guano crazy party of the left. That's your Democrat party. They think that boys can become girls and compete with girls. When did it become that? That's your Democrat party. It's going to be either wacko left or maybe a few people who are going what hell happened to our party? What the hell happened to our party? And all of us have suffered because of them and what they did when Joe Biden was the president opening the southern border. Not holding China responsible for a virus that was released on us. Not holding those responsible who burned our cities during the summer of 2020. A false flag event based on nothing. Maybe this is about time for the Democrat party to have a come to Jesus moment. I'm not holding my breath but fortunately hopeful it looks like our government is going to get reopened. I believe we have Sean from Live Oak on the phone. Hello Sean. Welcome to the Rob Carson. Joe. What's on your mind today? Greetings from West Btaria. Yeah, yeah. I want to discuss the great evils committed by the filibuster. And if you go back before the civil War lots of the abolitionist efforts were thwarted by southern Democrats using and filibuster. But to me one of the greatest evils is in the 1920s when the Republicans were trying to put in anti lynching laws, Southern senators killed that effort and lynching was able to proceed for another 40 years. And these same southern dent senators were at the lynchings collecting tokens and trinkets like ears and toes and well, the Democrat party has been standing in schoolhouse doors for decades and right now they're doing everything they can to hang on to the the Democrat run cities in America because once those cities fall then those states become Republican and they're hanging on by the skin of their teeth and they're still doing the same things. They want to keep people in America's inner cities uneducated, dependent and aggrieved. That's the way it is. That's your Democrat Party. And they tried to do the same thing with this government shutdown to make people suffer and hope that they would blame the Republican Party for it. And they don't have media dominance anymore. It didn't work. And they thought that last week the winds in Virginia with a very piss poor governor candidate on the Republican side, the questionable results in the state of New Jersey, by the way, they are quite questionable. And then of course the victory in New York City that no one was surprised by and they looked at that as some sort of referendum against Donald Trump and they are hoping against hope because the good news that's coming out of this administration is going to overwhelm the left and their lives. And it's becoming very apparent to everybody. Sean, I appreciate your phone call. Oh, did you hear Scott Besant? He called out George Stephanopolis this weekend. You know, George Stephanopoulos little toady and he used to be this little pit bull affiliated with, with, you know, Bill Clinton. He, he went after women who claimed truthfully that they'd been abused sexually by Bill Clinton, went after them, destroyed their lives. And Scott Bessem decided to go after George Stephanopoulos this weekend about the shutdown. And, and it didn't end well for George. George, the best, the best way to do it. And look, you were involved in a lot of these in and you know, you basically called the Republicans terrorist and you know, you said that it is not the responsible party that keeps the government closed. And so what we need is five brave moderate Democratic senators to cross the aisle because right now it is 52 to 3. 52 to 3. Five Democrats can cross the aisle and reopen the government. That's the best way to do it. Drive. George, I, I can disagree with you about the history there, but we don't know about history lesson right now. Let's talk about, let's watch the video. Dave. There's lots and lots of videotape. Jorge. George. George sir, let's talk about what's happening right now. Now he's trying to filibuster him. I asked all your questions here. I've got all your books here. He gave Locked and loaded short. I'm sure you do. And let's talk about the situation. Read your book. So you got one one purchase on Amazon this week and that's very much what you said. There you go. I even bought your book. I even bought your book so I could quote you. Oh, that's fantastic. Here is Bessett talking about the, the fact that what is the Democrat Party passed that they are. Well, no, you know, I better take a break. I better take a break. We're in a little bit over. I've got a little bit more on this coming to the other side. This, my friends, is the Rob Carson Show. It will actually reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term. Reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan. It will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses and our government. There will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promise don't materialize. They depend on your memory, your short term memory erasing. The Democrat Party, they always promise really big. You know, they always tell you, you know, if you buy me that pony, I'll take care of it, man. I will love that pony. I will feed that pony. I'll take care of that pony. And then a couple years later, the pony's dead. Starved to death. You know, that's your Democrat Party. They always lie about everything. They say everything's gonna be great. He promised that this, you know, the infrastructure bill, $787 billion, was gonna create shovel ready jobs. But whatever the Democrat Party says that they have shovel ready, you better have your shovel ready because you're gonna be shoveling a lot of crap. And Scott Besson actually brought this up this weekend when he was talking to George Stephanopoulos. All of the promises that the Democrat Party has made and how everything that they've done, all these massive bills they come up with, are nothing more than a crap sandwich. The president has also come forward with a new proposal overnight, saying it's time instead to do away with Obamacare, instead to have the money go directly to the people. Do you have a formal proposal to do that? We don't have a formal proposal. But you know, what I have noticed over time is that the Democrats give all these bills the Orwellian names, the Affordable Care act, the Inflation Reduction act, and we end up. It's kind of like what they did with Greenland and Iceland. You know, they. They said that. I guess I heard that. Was it the Vikings or something. They said, hey, if we call Greenland Greenland, then people will go to Greenland. It's actually covered with ice. But we'll go over to Iceland. That's actually pretty nice. And we'll live. And then, and then. And that might have worked at some point, but not anymore. Well, just the Opposite. You know the, the Affordable Care Act. What did the Inflation Reduction act do for inflation? It caused it to go through the friggin ceiling. What Affordable Care act due. It caused health care to go through the friggin ceiling has become unaffordable and the inflation reduction act set off the greatest inflation in 50 years. Well, I'm a little confused because the president posting about that overnight and into this morning. But you're not proposing that to the Senate right now. We're not proposing it to the Senate right now, no. Then why is the President posting about it? George? The President's posting about it. But again we have got to get the government reopened before, you know, we do this. We are not going to negotiate with the Democrats until they reopen the government. Yeah, you, when you negotiate to reach a deal, you don't hold people hostage to get a deal. It didn't work and it looks like the government's going to reopen. Unfortunately a lot of people are finally going to get paid and what a horrible, horrible thing to do, especially before the holidays. And the Democrats were hoping that whatever momentum they thought they had last week with the Tuesday election was going to carry them through Thanksgiving when the suffering would have reached unimaginable levels for so many people. I was thinking about how fortunate I am. I'm going to be driving home this Christmas, driving across the country back to Kansas, the Kansas side of Kansas City. And I'm just going to take Buck and I'm going to listen to some music and drive across the country, take two days going, two days coming back, clear my mind and just kind of, you know, breathe a little bit. And I thought how fortunate I am that I wouldn't be traveling via air because things were getting absolutely untenable. By the way, it is that time of year. Birch Gold gives you away free gold with every qualifying purchase until Black Friday. When you convert an existing IRA or 401 into tax sheltered IRA and gold, birch Gold will send you free gold for every $20,000 purchase. It's not as good as Nancy Pelosi's return on her investments being 18,000%, but it's pretty darn good because gold started this year at about $2,600 an ounce and now it's at $4,000 an ounce. Global uncertainty is one of the reasons why central banks are buying up gold. It's making it even more precious than it is now. Gold thrives in times of uncertainty and if you're looking to diversify your savings, Birch Gold can help you. Plus now through November 30th, get free gold with a qualifying purchase. How cool is that? Just text my name, Rob to 989-898 to claim your eligibility for free info kit on gold. But your opportunity for free gold with purchase ends November 30th. So. So do me a favor, text my name, Rob to 989898. That's Rob to 989898 for Burch. Cold. Donald Trump was out at a football game last night. The Commanders are playing the Lions. Ended up getting completely beaten by the Lions. The president talked about he was hanging out in the broadcast booth with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma. You're the first sitting president to attend a regular season game. Regular. Ready for this? President Carter? October 2nd. Did you see the flyover Air Force One over the stadium? Oh, my God. 1978. It's a long time. I know you're a Yankees fan. That same day, Bucky Dent hit a pretty big home run. That was a big one. So that was last time a sitting president attended a regular season game. I know you love because he's a man of the people. You attend baseball games, NASCAR races. What is it about sports that you enjoy the most? I just love it. It's a microcosm of life. It's sort of like life, you know, the good, the bad and the ugly. Right. You're right about that. Well, let's see. Happens here. This is a big breakdown. All right there. They're calling a timeout here. President Trump, they're trying to regroup. It's a fourth and goal or no, excuse me, fourth and short. But you can equate sports with life. You know, you have the triumph and you have the, the problems. Yeah, the agony of defeat is what the Democrats are suffering this morning. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I think the reason why the Democrats are coming to the table today is they are realizing they're being blamed for the shutdown. The momentum they thought they had last Tuesday really wasn't there. It was. It was fake. They did not have the momentum from Tuesday's elections. They still are the same Democrat Party they were two weeks ago when they had the lowest approval ratings ever and this was only causing it to get worse. Plus also they were afraid that the, the Republican Party was going to blow up the filibuster, which they planned on doing anyway, by the way. Here's Adam Schiff actually saying that he was. And they're planning on blowing up the filibuster if get back into power. When you were running for Senate, you came out against the filibuster. If that comes to the Senate floor, will you vote for it? I have continued to oppose the filibuster and would be happy to do away with a filibuster. But the question is, do away with it for what reason? I would do away with it so that we can expand and protect people's freedoms. Yeah, sure. So we can protect people's freedoms. That's the opposite of the truth and their rights. The Republicans and the president right now are talking about doing away with the filibuster so they can raise people's health care costs. No, that's an absolute lie. You're twisting things and you are absolutely wrong. You see, because health care went through the ceiling because of Obamacare. The broken promises of Obamacare. An absolute joke, honestly. Complete and utter joke. Here's a little bit more of the president last night on the NFL game. The I keep saying the. I hate this. Commanders. The commanders versus the Lions. You go way back with the sport. He has swore in a bunch of military members and a bunch of the punks in the stadium decided to boo him while he was doing that because, you know, there are a lot of people from the D.C. area who go to those games, have season tickets to football. You played at New York Military Academy. How old were you when you started playing football and what were some of the life lessons you took out of it? Well, I did. I played tight end. He's built like a tight end. He's six, four. But I mean, it was not quite football like this. It was a little bit easier. It wasn't so tough. And we had a quarterback who didn't have a very strong arm. I would say 10 yards was a long pass. So you were never tackled by a guy like John? If I was tackled by him, I would never forget. No, no, no. We didn't get to play you too often, I can tell you that. But we had a good time and I loved it. I actually love playing football. We had a good time with it. So we were trying to look up your stats and we wanted to know how many touchdowns did you have back then? Six, seven? I'm not sure I had any. That's a long time ago. But kind of like me, I was never much of an athlete. I tried. I tried. I played every sport, but I wasn't very good at it. Wasn't very good at it.
