Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Government Shutdown: Blame, Consequences, & Class Warfare

• Carson launches with sharp criticism of Democrats for the prolonged government shutdown.

  • Carson’s Satire: Highlights what he sees as Democratic failures in major policy bills (Inflation Reduction Act, Affordable Care Act, Obama-era infrastructure) while sarcastically noting improvements under Trump—declining inflation and fuel prices.

• Carson lambasts politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Katie Porter for cronyism and performative outrage:

  • Cites Pelosi’s "17,000%" return on stock investments as evidence of elite enrichment ([01:30]).
  • Mocks Katie Porter’s grandstanding over shutdown travel priorities ([03:25])—refuting her implication that Trump favors private jet travel during shutdowns, and branding her the "bat, guano crazy Karen."

• Sean Duffy Joins In ([04:18]):

  • Corrects Porter's claims, explaining the prioritization of commercial airline travelers over private jets during the shutdown, despite political posturing.
  • Quote (Sean Duffy): "The priority is the traveling public... So it's nice political theater, but that's not what we're doing." ([04:46])

2. Media, Protest, and "Temper Tantrum Tactics"

• Rob alleges that the Democrats’ tactics—including the shutdown, protests like "No Kings," and targeting Elon Musk—are desperate, coordinated attempts to destabilize:
  • "They're throwing a temper tantrum... It’s just a matter of how much destruction they're going to do in the meantime." ([05:24])
  • Suggests shutdown was designed to harm Trump's economy prior to 2025 elections, equating it to weaponization of COVID-19 in 2020 ([07:06], [09:07]).

3. Accusations of Lawfare and Judicial Weaponization

• 'Lawfare' Against Trump:

  • Soundbites and analysis highlight the historic number of injunctions and felony charges brought against the Trump administration compared to past presidents.
  • Notable Statistic: Over 100 injunctions issued against Trump, 90% by Democrat-appointed judges ([08:35]).
  • Quote (Unknown Political Analyst): "Since 1963, over three quarters of the nationwide injunctions have been issued against President Trump, with over 90% of those coming from Democrat appointed judges." ([08:35])

• Michael Flynn’s Perspective ([09:51], [10:39], [12:05], [13:58]):

  • Details operations like "Crossfire Hurricane" and "Arctic Frost" as targeted efforts to block Trump’s political career.
  • Asks pointedly: "If this is not a coup, what would be?" ([13:58])
  • Accuses DOJ and prosecutors of coordinated attacks to charge Trump and associates en masse when he seeks a comeback.

4. Ongoing Investigations & Subpoenas

• Carson emphasizes that retribution—or, as he calls it, "accountability"—is underway:
  • Reports subpoenas to officials tied to past investigations of Trump: Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, John Brennan, James Clapper ([16:17]).
  • Stephen Miller’s condemnation: Describes the coordinated actions of Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and others as an "unrelenting attempt to overthrow the government the American people voted for." ([17:02])

5. The Mar-A-Lago Raid: Eric Trump’s Recollection

• Eric Trump’s account:
  • Describes the FBI’s insistence on shutting off security cameras and planting classified folders, with the Trump family refusing to cooperate ([17:57]).
  • Quotes:
    • "I'm not turning off our security cameras. I am not turning off our security cameras." ([18:06])
    • "That was the day that I stopped believing in the FBI as a law enforcement agency for good." ([19:28], Carson)

6. Foreign Affairs: Syria, Venezuela, Israel, and Russia

• Fred Fleitz Interview ([21:25]):
  • Assessing US-Syrian relations under Trump and the implications of meeting with President Ahmad Al Sharra (alleged former terrorist, now seeking peace).
  • Notes suspension of sanctions as a positive step for Syria, discusses guarded optimism about moves toward peace and joining Abraham Accords.
  • European skepticism surrounding Gaza peace plan—EU wants more Palestinian Authority involvement, which Israel resists ([26:13]).
  • Fleitz’s take on Venezuela: Supports military action against drug labs but not a troop invasion.

7. The Role of Conservative Comedy & Culture Wars

• The Rise of Conservative Comedy:

  • Carson celebrates Greg Gutfeld's success in late night, arguing that right-leaning humor resonates due to honesty and that leftist comedy has waned with political ossification.
    • "Conservative humor is funnier because it’s truthful. The left is not truthful with their humor. Jokes fall flat when they don’t contain truth." ([38:02])
  • Greg Gutfeld: "I crushed them like bugs, David. I crushed them and I'd thrown them into the wind and they were still here. I call it Entertainment Welfare." (on Colbert and Kimmel’s cancellation/suspension; [37:20])

• Quotes Gutfeld on handling critics:

  • "They write letters, but they're so polite, though. The ones I get, it's like, greg, we always respect your opinions, but I must ask you, please refrain from using the Lord's name in vain." ([34:15])
  • Gutfeld to NYT podcaster: "Yeah, but they are killing children. So there's that, you know." ([34:33])

• Carson’s response to his own critics: Brushes off complaints about mild "salty language," arguing seriousness of the political moment and focus on adult discourse ([35:00]).

8. Cultural & Personal Closing Notes

• Carson blends humor with frustration, sharing personal anecdotes about Christmas, fatigue from negative news, and commitment to spreading "joy and patriotism" despite the national mood ([29:54], [33:35]).
• Concludes by inviting listeners to a local event and rallying the audience to resist despair and continue pushing for accountability and cultural engagement.

Carson maintains a conversational style but isn’t afraid to get emotional—rallying his audience against what he frames as blue-state and bureaucratic overreach.

[Rob Carson]

Hold it.

[Eric Trump]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

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. This is the Rob Carson Show. Our number two Fred Flights will join us at the bottom of the hour to talk about the leader of Syria coming to America. Among other things, that Donald Trump amassing massive victories with regard to foreign policy and trade and manufacturing. And you know, of course, inflation is now negated. The price of eggs down 185%. Gas the lowest it's been in many years. Not such a big bite out of your paycheck. The Democrat Party appears to have failed in keeping the government shut down. Hopefully it will be reopened today because they wanted to extort another $1.5 trillion from US to pay off their cronies in big insurance, among other things, while you and I suffered. Let's face it, the Democrat Party hasn't given a rat's behind about you in a very long time because they keep passing massive bills that do nothing but make things worse for us, including the Inflation Reduction act and the Affordable Care Act. None of them have worked. And then, of course, during Barack Obama's presidency, $787 billion for infrastructure, nothing happened. At what point do you finally go, you know what? Bull crap. Honestly, just bullcrap. We got people in Washington D.C. who spend their entire lives telling us how to live ours and do nothing but enrich themselves. Nancy Pelosi, a prime example of that. We find out today that Nancy Pelosi, while she was in Washington D.C. the returns on her stock investment, 17,000%, while you and I figure out, you know, how we're going to make it to retirement and what we're going to have after retirement, if we even get to retirement. And a lot of people had to come out of retirement while Joe Biden was the president. And, you know, I told you, we have a bourgeois, we have a proletariat. The bourgeois goes to Washington D.C. he spends their entire lives telling us how to live ours. And then they throw us the crumbs. Well, I'm kind of tired of dining on crumbs. How about you? Katie Porter, she's that awful, awful woman who's running for governor. She's a bat. Guano Crazy Karen, who stormed out of an interview the other day because she was asked for tough questions. I mean, just, I mean, my God, can you imagine this? I gotta tell you guys, we've got to get Karen out of the, out of the political system. The liberal Karen, her Welcome is worn quite thin. She's a busybody. She likes to stick her nose in everybody's business. She is the person who got rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben after George Floyd. She's the one who got rid of all the Native American mascots. She's the one who said that we got to take down the statues of Columbus. You got to get rid of the Dixie Chicks. And that's Karen is Karen. And Karen has got to be driven back into the pits of hell or the hoa, wherever she is. But here she is, Katie Porter, saying that, telling Donald Trump, hey, hey, hey, you know, trying to create some sort of a, I guess a class warfare on the shutdown of the federal government, saying that Donald Trump needs to not prioritize private jets for commercial airline travel. Like Donald Trump was saying it's okay to fly in private jets while all the other the airports are shut down. But she was completely wrong. Here she is.

[Katie Porter]

Here's a question for Donald Trump. Trump, as he forces airlines to cancel thousands and thousands of flights.

[Rob Carson]

He didn't force anything. Actually, the Democrat Party did. By forcing the shutdown of the government and not voting on a clean cr.

[Katie Porter]

Why is he starting first with the commercial planes that we all know?

[Rob Carson]

He's not actually not one little bit.

[Katie Porter]

Used to go visit our families or get where we need to for work. Every day, thousands of private jets take off carrying CEOs, billionaires and the 1% and they take up the work of the air traffic control.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, you're absolutely wrong.

[Katie Porter]

Wouldn't it make more sense to cancel the planes that carry the fewest passengers first? It's just another example of who Donald Trump really.

[Rob Carson]

Well, what you just said, there is a complete fallacy here is Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation, who unlike Pete Booty gig, is a good secretary of transportation. He's actually getting things done.

[Sean Duffy]

Katie Porter is a hack. That's not what happened in the order we reduced general aviation or jet travel by 10. But what we've also done is said, you know, if we have a staffing trigger. I think Nate was at LaGuardia or in Newark. We have one in Newark this morning. If, if, if we have a staffing trigger, there's going to be no jets flying into Newark. We're going to, we prioritize.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. Believe it or not, all the jets stop flying. You, you despicable woman, is commercial aircraft.

[Sean Duffy]

Now, if there's a space to fly in with general aviation or a jet, we'll allow them in. But the priority is the Traveling public. And so that's been, that's been the order. That's been how this has been implemented. So it's nice political theater, but that's not what we're doing.

[Rob Carson]

No, not at all. You're absolutely wrong. But she's trying to drive another political wedge, try to rehab her image as an awful human being running for governor in California, and hopefully she will be beaten summarily. In the state of California, the Democrat Party for the last nine months has been throwing a temper tantrum. They have done everything they can to go after Elon Musk. The Democrat Party has their marching orders. They will follow any direction that the Democrat Party decided wants to go in. Elon Musk was a Nazi. Literally, about six months ago, he's a Nazi. There were people who were out at his dealerships by the thousands. By the thousands. And people who drove Teslas were getting vandalized. Elon Musk ended up leaving the government. He had planned on leaving the government, leaving Doge. And after. They're cutting $1.5 trillion in wasteful spending that the Democrats, of course, just held us hostage for because they wanted it reinstated. And then of course, he had these idiotic no Kings protests. No Kings last couple weeks ago, and it was all bought and paid for. They're throwing a temper tantrum. It's not going to work. It's just a matter of how much destruction they're going to do in the meantime. But something that is also happening. And this, you know, I'm just, I'm done with it. I'm done with it. They did this during, during the first Trump administration. And by the way, you know what the shutdown was? Do you know what the shut it was? The Democrats 2025. Covid. It was. They used Covid to kill Donald Trump's economy. Duh. That's why nobody was held accountable for Covid. That's why so many people were allowed to come across the southern border unscreened, unvetted, unvaccinated. They didn't have a rats behind the use Covid to attack the Trump economy in the election year. And when that didn't work, they burned down the country in the summer of 2020. They did everything they could to make sure that the election in 2020 was unfair with overwhelming the system with mail in ballots. And you know what Covid or what the. What the shutdown was? The shutdown was their Covid. They were hoping that this would hobble Trump's economy. This shutdown was going to destroy the holiday season. It was Going to destroy the fourth quarter of 2025 and it's not going to work. It's not going to work. And then on top of all of that, of course they are using Biden judges to try to hobble the Trump administration's progress. I want you to listen to this. This is from Chad Meisel. This is the warfare that the left is waging against Donald Trump on top of all the other nonsense. It's a whole bunch of new things they can do from Elon Musk is a Nazi to no kings to the government shutdown to signal gate. They tried signal gate. They're trying anything. They are like movie vampires falling into hell trying to drag us with them. It's not gonn. But listen to what the. The, the Biden Justice Department. Biden Justice Department. But Biden judges have been trying since Donald Trump became the president.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

Bush had six injunctions against him. Half of those were issued by Democrat appointed judges. Obama had 12 nationwide injunctions issued against his administration. 60% of those were issued by publican appointed judges. In the first Trump term, he had 64 injunctions.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

That compares with Biden's 14. And then before the CASA decision, we have a rough count of about 40 issued in the first six months of the Trump administration. So over 100 injunctions issued by against the Trump administration, over 90% of those were issued by Democrat appointed judges.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

That means that since 1963, over three quarters of the nationwide injunctions have been issued against President Trump with over 90% of those coming from Democrat appointed judges. Well, some might argue that's just because Trump is more lawless. Well, again, let's listen to this. Look at the facts. 24 emergency petitions were filed at the Supreme Court by the Trump administration this year. They won 22 of them. That's a 92% win rate at the United States Supreme Court. There's not a single other entity. Thank you.

[Rob Carson]

That. Yeah. And this is what they're doing. They will do anything they can to try to hobble the, the Trump agenda and we've got to just say no. They wanted again, they wanted the shutdown to be the COVID They wanted shutdown to replace Covid because the COVID was able to shut down our economy, shut down businesses unnecessarily, shut down schools unnecessarily, destroy the economy, destroy the country, destroy, destroy our esteem, for lack of a better word. And they're trying the same crap. They've been trying the same crap. Lindsey Graham was on TV this weekend. Also because the Democrat Party tried to go after conservatives tried to kill the MAGA movement with this thing called Arctic Frost. And now the truth is coming out.

[Michael Flynn]

Well, here's my assessment. In 2016, James Comey at the FBI led an effort to bring down Donald Trump to continue a narrative.

[Rob Carson]

I'm about tired of this.

[Michael Flynn]

How about you right before the election that Donald Trump was an agent of Russia. That wasn't coming from intelligence, it was coming from Clinton's campaign.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Flynn]

Comey was told in 2016 that the Clinton campaign pushing the story that Trump is a Russian agent. They continued crossfire hurricane into 2017. It didn't work. Trump survived in 2020.

[Rob Carson]

Then they impeached him right after he went into office and they continued the Russia collusion hoax through his entire presidency. Then they unleashed Covid on the country. Then they burned down the country in the summer 2020. You about tired of this Democrat temper tantrum.

[Michael Flynn]

Two right after Trump announced I'm going to run for 2024 president again.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Flynn]

Jack Smith was appointed three days after Donald Trump announced he was going to run for president in the 2024 cycle. Within eight months, they had 91 felony charges in New York, Washington, D.C. florida and Georgia against him.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it was all lawfare. And you know, as much as the Democrat Party thinks that maybe last Tuesday would give them some momentum, everybody understands, everybody knows what's going on. They can distract with little things here and there, but nothing is going to is going to hobble the progress of what's happening and the good feeling about America. And by the way, next year is the 250th anniversary of America and patriotism is going to play a very big role in the midterms. And the Democrat Party have been on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of the country is founded for a very long time. A little bit more on Arctic Frost then we're going to get into the elections that happened last Tuesday. A lot of questions about him. Ham Reed, Dylan asked some questions about him in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Jersey, by the way. Yeah. That's all coming up at the Rob Carson show. Don't go anywhere.

[Michael Flynn]

It was the second time the FBI and the judicial system was used to try to destroy Donald Trump. And I got caught up in it. Arctic Frost was designed to stop his comeback. If Donald Trump had never announced he was running For President in 2024, none of this was happening. They tried to take him down with Crossfire Hurricane. Arctic Frost comes along right after he announces for president in 2022. They go after my phone records in 2023, along with 10 other senators. The goal of Arctic Frost was to destroy Donald Trump, kill him in the cradle so he couldn't come back, charge him with a bunch of BS all over the country. And here's what I want to know. Was Jack Smith coordinating with Fanny Willis in Georgia, was he coordinating with Alvin Bragg in New York to Trump up charges so Donald Trump couldn't win in 2024? That, to me, is a, is a coup.

[Rob Carson]

And the Democrat Party never gives up. They just keep piling it on. They've been throwing a temper tantrum for nine months now. Unrelentingly negative press, the, from the Democrats in the media. 98% negative coverage of everything. One week it's, oh, my God, Donald Trump is tearing down the, this sacred White House portion of the White House to build a new ballroom. And then, of course, that didn't gain any traction, so they moved on to a shutdown. And it just, it never. It's unceasing. It is just unceasing. And now they're. They're planning on a big impeachment push, I guess, even though they have no hold, no sway. But leftists are talking about coming to Washington, D.C. and holding massive rallies and trying to get Donald impeached for. Donald Trump impeached for nothing. I think we're about done. I'm just about done with all of this nonsense, to be quite honest. Here's a little bit more from Lindsey Graham on Arctic Frost. The abuse of power that attempted to destroy not only Donald Trump, but maga.

[Michael Flynn]

James Comey was told by the CIA, we have intel that Clinton is behind the idea that Trump's a Russian agent. He never told the FISA court that the man who gave the Steele dossier provided the information, recanted the FBI in January of 2017, and they still got warrants against Carter Page, acting like he was part of a conspiracy with Trump to help Russia. Now in 2024, when he, when he announces for the 2024 cycle, within three days of saying, I'm going to run again, Jack Smith is appointed special counsel. You have 91 felony charges coming within eight months. And they come after 10 United States senators, phone records, including mine. If this is not a coup, what would be.

[Rob Carson]

I got to tell you, there's got to be hell to pay for all of this. And, you know, I got to tell also, I'm just exhausted. I really am. I'm. The weight of this year has really come down on me this weekend. It's just everything. I don't understand, you know, Like Donald Trump. I wish I had the strength and the tenacity that he does because he's been through a lot more this year than I have. I mean, they tried to murder him twice during the last, you know, election cycle. They tried to, you know, take him off the ballot. They tried to put him in jail. He had to sit in these, these demoralizing and awful trials that cost tens of millions of dollars. The only person who could have survived any of this. I don't know how he does it every day. I don't know how he does it every day. Comes in and he does with a smile. Last night he goes to a football game. You know, he's almost 80 year old man, goes to a football game, talks to the sportscasters, says hi to the crowd, you know, while he's also negotiating trade deals, got the leader of Syria coming. You've got peace deal going on in between Israel and hamas. You've got seven other peace deals worldwide. You got $18 trillion of new manufacturing coming back into our country. And all that he gets is pushback. All that he get gets his government shutdown. All that he gets is some sort of nonsensical bullcrap. But the subpoenas are coming, by the way. The subpoenas are finally coming. We've waited a very long time for this. This is CNN reporting on that news.

[Katie Porter]

Justice Department prosecutors have just issued a subpoena to former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, a longtime target of President Trump's. And former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have also received subpoenas. Sources telling CNN tonight the prosecution, prosecutors are now moving to subpoena the former CIA director John Brennan. Kaitlyn Poland's breaking so much of this. Caitlin, what do you know about these subpoenas?

[Fred Fleitz]

We know that this action from the.

[Rob Carson]

Justice Department, it's not done yet.

[Fred Fleitz]

Subpoenas have gone out to people including Lisa Page, Peter Strack, you remember their name.

[Rob Carson]

This is the retribution that the Democrats were afraid of. It's not retribution, it's holding people accountable for what they did. And in case you needed to be reminded, here's Stephen Miller, Comey, Clapper, Brennan.

[Stephen Miller]

Obama, Monaco, all conspired together, all work together to try to sabotage, undermine, unravel the democratic institutions and structures of this country. The Russia Gate hoax, the Russia Gate conspiracy and all of the assaults against our liberties that went with it. The pre dawn raids, the handcuffing of innocent Americans, the, the espionage against President Trump's campaign and staff, the removal of his national security adviser, one Fake indictment, one fake charge after another. The special counsel, all of it was a unrelenting attempt to overthrow the government the American people voted for. I cannot find words harsh enough to condemn the conduct of these conspirators, these insurrectionists, 100%.

[Rob Carson]

Here's Eric Trump this weekend talking about the raid on Mar A Lago.

[Eric Trump]

And I'll never forget, they were yelling in the phone, turn off all what they did.

[Rob Carson]

Think about all of the things they did to Donald Trump and to us.

[Eric Trump]

Security cameras. I want all. So each of these rooms have security cameras, right? And obviously the patios is a commercial property, and it's one of the most famous properties in the world. And I go, I'm not turning off our security cameras. I am not turning off our security cameras. The FBI was demanding, and sure enough, you know, it takes two and a half years. But Eileen Cannon, the judge on the case, end up finding, you know, they ended up admitting to her that they were planting classified folders in my father's office.

[Rob Carson]

They were planning classified folders in his office. You know, take the photos.

[Eric Trump]

Well, I mean, you know, they were fanned out perfectly. They fanned out perfectly on the floor and, like, you know, on this beautiful carpet. Like, my father's gonna fan out classified. Give me a break.

[Rob Carson]

They brought those classified folders in, didn't they?

[Eric Trump]

And you know what? They did? And they leaked them to the media. And I wanted that picture all around the world. I'll never forget. I asked my team. I go, does my father know? And everybody just went silent. I go, I'll call him right now. He goes, honey, meet me in my office. We were in New York at the time, and I met him, and that's when he put out that tweet, which is, you know, the FBI is raiding the famous Mar A Lago. I can't believe this is an invasion of our home. This is the greatest weaponization of government in the history of our country. That tweet went out while they were here. They had just gotten near half an hour earlier, and they went, miranda. They went freaking nuts. They went, how dare you tell people that we're here? It's like, how dare you raid our home? How dare you tell people that we are here? They wanted it on their narrative. They wanted to be the people who put it out. The fact that they raided Donald Trump's home and he put it out first.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Eric Trump]

And they were furious. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

That was the day that I stopped believing in the FBI as a. As a law enforcement agency for good. That was the day there's much more to this in Devin Nunes talks about how JP Morgan debanked Donald Trump's Trump media for January 6th even though it wasn't around on January 6th. That's coming up. Fred Fleitz joins us next. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. Forget fresh olive oil. I eat olive oil every day. I got rid of seed oils years ago. Life is too short to not have wonderful fresh olive oil. And I mean fresh olive oil packs the most flavor and healthy ingredients when it's fresh from the farm. And that's the problem with supermarket olive oils. They're not fresh. They could sit on the shelf for months, growing stale. That's why I get my olive oil from small, award winning farms thanks to a fellow named T.J. robinson, also known as the olive oil hunter. When I tasted TJ Farms fresh olive oils, I fell in love with their vibrant, grassy flavors. They were incredibly delicious on salad, veggies, pasta, meat, fish, you name it. And as an introduction to his fresh pressed Olive Oil Club, TJ is willing to send you a full size $39 bottle of one of the world's finest artisanal olive oil, the new harvest for just $1 to help him cover shipping. There's no commitment to buy anything now or later. Get your free $39 bottle for just $1 and taste the difference freshness makes. Go to get fresh.

Joining us on the Newsmax hotline is former NSC chief of staff for the Trump administration, former CIA analyst, senior fellow of the American First Policy Institute, Fred Flights. Fred, how you doing on this Monday, man?

[Fred Fleitz]

Pretty good. How are you?

[Rob Carson]

I'm good. You know, I'm a little, I'm a little tired. It's been a long year. Getting kind of exhausted of all the bull crap coming out of Washington, D.C. finally, the possibility of the end of this idiotic shutdown, this attempt to extort the American people by the Democrat Party. I think they wanted to keep it going through Thanksgiving to spread the misery. But it looks like it's coming to an end. Last week there was a lot of focus on economy. After the Tuesday election, everybody said maybe Donald Trump was focused too much on overseas peace deals and whatnot. Now he's back to meeting with world leaders, including the Syrian president, Ahmad Al Sharra, who, by the way, was a terrorist. Was, was I guess, officially declared a terrorist by the US Government until about three years ago. What changed, Fred? What changed about him?

[Fred Fleitz]

Well, it's a remarkable transformation. Who would have thought when President Trump was electing, he would have considered he'd be meeting with a former Al Qaeda member who's now president of Syria. But this guy claims he's left Al Qaeda. He has said he's going to push for an inclusive government. He wants peace with Israel. He wants to reach out to the world. There's some questions about whether he's going to do this or not. He does not have an inclusive government. He has brought foreign fighters into his government. But it's really urgent that there be a functioning government in Syria so it doesn't become an ungoverned space that Al Qaeda will move into. And I think what Trump is doing, and the Saudis have encouraged him to do this, is engage with this guy and encourage him to do the right thing in governing. And, I mean, the jury's out, but I think it's a good effort.

[Rob Carson]

Didn't he also just lift some sanctions against Syria so the Syrian people could live more comfortably? I know they were suffering, but I believe when Trump, you know, got rid of the sanctions, they were celebratory about it. The people of Syria seemed like they were ready to turn the page and move away from, you know, the radicalism that had governed there for so very long. Is that the stance of the Syrian people?

[Fred Fleitz]

They lifted most of the sanctions, sanctions against Al Sharia. There are some very extensive sanctions that Congress has to lift. Trump has suspended them, which is huge. And, you know, by doing this, Syria can get investment in the country, and it's now legal to trade with Syrian firms and do business with the Syrian government. So it is a big win for Syria.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I, I, I'm hopeful. I don't generally trust Islamists, you know, as most of us don't, but he seems genuine. There seems to be a move, obviously, with Donald Trump bringing seven Arab nations together to, to help the end the conflict in, in Israel with, with Hamas. It sounds like there are people in the Middle east who want to move away from this death cult, that they've been following paradise here on earth for their, for their people, instead of all of the nonsense that's been happening the last, I don't know, about 50 years. Right?

[Fred Fleitz]

I think that's right. And when it comes to Ashara, look, people can change. And he has been against ISIS for a long time. He has, he was head of a terrorist organization, but now he claims that he's not. And there are indications that if he can strike some kind of a peace deal with Israel, he may join the Abraham Accords, which is just a wild development given how bad Syria was for so long. There were Iranians and Hezbollah fighters and Al Qaeda and isis. It's a big change.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you consider that a leader of Syria has not been to the United States in 60 years. This. There's something about when Donald Trump meets with these, these Islamic nations. There is a fear and respect, I think, associated with Donald Trump, and there's also an honor to it. And I think by Trump inviting him to come here, he's not only. He's not only expressing his strength, but he's also honoring this person. I think that'll have a tremendous impact on him as a leader of his country.

[Fred Fleitz]

I think that's right. It legitimizes him and he needs that. He only controls about 60% of the country. There are a lot of factions and leaders who do not like him, who do not support him, and frankly, his government. There are elements of his government who are committing atrocities that I don't think he's responsible for. I hope he's not responsible for. But it's pretty clear he doesn't have full control of the security services.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You had mentioned in a text to me earlier that Europe wants to weaken the Gaza peace plan. What is that all about?

[Fred Fleitz]

You know, I wrote about that in a recent American Greatness article. It was great to see all these European states coming to this summit in Egypt after the 20 point plan was agreed to. But I talked to a number of European diplomats and some of them said this publicly. They signed onto the plan, but they would like to change it because they want the Palestinian Authority to be given a greater role in the peace process right now before they reform. That's not the deal. And if that's the deal, Israel will back out. Israel agreed very reluctantly to let the Palestinian Authority play a role in governing Gaza and a pathway to a Palestinian state assuming it reforms. And among those reforms is it has to stop teaching its citizens from the time they're toddlers to hate Jews and to kill. Destroy the state of Israel until the society changes and de. Radicalizes, Israel's not going to agree to Palestinian state.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. By the way, we have a little trouble with your phone. I'm not sure if you're in a bad location. The phone signal's kind of cracking up a little bit. Let's see if it gets a bit better here. What's going on With Russia and Ukraine, what's happening there? Are they making any progress whatsoever? It seems like it kind of disappeared from the radar altogether.

[Fred Fleitz]

I don't think it's getting any better. But it is interesting right now that Foreign Minister Lavrov reportedly was out of favor with Putin because Putin was angry that this summit that was going to be held with President Trump in Budapest was canceled. And I guess Putin was blaming Lavrov. But look, if the upper echelons of the Russian government are fighting with each other because of sanctions and pressure, that's a good thing and maybe a sign of hope that we can end this war.

[Rob Carson]

About Venezuela, it sounds like we are teetering on the possibility of a limited invasion. I don't think that Maduro is long for the leadership in that country. And I think that. And I even heard Michael Flynn talking about it. He said it's not about regime change. It's about putting a leader who won the office. The opposition leader won that election, is very clear. And Syria or Venezuela has done a lot of damage to the United States. Essentially a war on the United States, you know, emptying its prisons into our country and sending deadly fentanyl to kill our people. What do you think's going to happen in the near future with regard to Maduro in Venezuela?

[Fred Fleitz]

Destroying boats that are bringing drugs in this country? I'm for that. Maybe attacking drug labs, airstrikes against them.

[Eric Trump]

I'm for that.

[Fred Fleitz]

Invading Venezuela? Absolutely not. I don't want troops in Venezuela.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I don't think it's necessary.

[Fred Fleitz]

Plans to do that.

[Rob Carson]

No, I don't think it's necessary.

[Fred Fleitz]

Yeah, I don't. But I mean, I hear what you're saying. You're talking about a limited invasion. I don't want any invasion of Venezuela. I don't want an American troop presence there. That's not what Americans voted for when they voted in President Trump. I do agree with him. To stop the fentanyl and the drug gangs from coming into this country. That's certainly worth the it. Also, I think the president's pressure on Venezuela is limiting their ability to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. That's also to our advantage.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. There's a lot of. And I wasn't suggesting that we send troops in, but, but, you know, I've talked to a lot of people who are in Special Forces who say that you, you know, there's a possibility of painting targets. But yes, we, certainly, we, we don't need to. I don't think that. I think he's a paper tiger. And I think it would be easy to take him out and hopefully he will fall under the weight of, of our pressure. Fred Fleitz, I apprec appreciate you joining me today, my friend. Where can people find all your work?

[Fred Fleitz]

Well, if you go to our website, americafirstpolicy.com, you can see the work I'm doing in national security and all the great other work of the America First Policy Institute.

[Rob Carson]

Thanks for finding the time today, Fred. We appreciate it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, this is a Rob Carson show. We have much to get to. I want to get to Greg Gutfeld. He did an interview with New York Times podcaster and you know, as I've told you, conservative comedies on the Ascension because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. And Greg is really amazing. I'm really just thrilled, thrilled, thrilled because I've been doing conservative comedy for a very long time and it just, you know, it, it makes sense. The left can't be taken seriously anymore. You can't have a serious discussion with somebody who thinks a boy can become a girl and compete with girls in sports. You can't. You can have an intelligent conversation with people who, who throw temper tantrums and ride naked on bikes outside of the ICE facility and then try to burn down Tesla dealerships. You can't reason with them. You can't have an intelligent conversation. You can't take them seriously until they touch you. Then you can beat their butts. There you go. I'm going to be out this weekend in Sykesville, Maryland at X Golf. We're doing a big Salute to Service golf tournament. It's an indoor golf tournament and an indoor golf facility. And then later in the Evening, there's an 80s band going to be performing. If you are interested in attending and hanging out with me, Deplora Bell is going to be there as well. It is Saturday night at this place called X Golf in Eldersburg on Liberty Road. And it's this Saturday night. If you come and join us, it's going to be a lot of fun and there'll be a silent auction and whatnot. But look at my social media. For details on it. Just go to Facebook and Twitter @RobCarsonShow. It's right there on the top. But if you live in the Maryland area and you've been wanting to get out and see me, I'd love to see you again. All of my fans at our anchor station WCBM and wgmd and in Rehoboth and whatnot. You might come out to this event. It's gonna be this Saturday night. I'd love to. I'd love to hang out with you. I'm looking for an excuse to have a little bit of fun because, you know, it hasn't been a very fun year. I'll just tell you that. It hasn't been a very fun year and I'm looking forward to the time off. I, I went and got a, A Norfolk pine. You know what those are? Those, the, the little kind of Christmas trees. They look like pine tree and like pine tree had a love child with a, with a palm tree. But they're beautiful. They're lovely trees. And I used to have one. I had one for like 15 years, and I got it at Walmart or Sam's Club, and it ended up growing about 4ft tall. And then I killed it accidentally. I used a plant spike and overfed it, I guess. And it was because his name was Norfie. I loved old Norfie. And I killed Dorfy. I felt, I mean, really did. I felt terrible about it. And I got one this weekend and, and I, I hung a couple Christmas bulbs on it because I'm not going to let Christmas be taken away from in this year. I am going to do my level best, and I, and I hope you will, too. And I celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah, by the way. I put the menorah in the, in the window, the electric menorah, and I, you know, turn on the candles according to the day. And, and by God, I'm going to make this Christmas the most Christmassy Christmas ever. And there's nobody going to stop me. There you go. My, my last Christmas, it was terrible. I had Christmas taken away from me last year. It was awful. And I'm going to do my level best to spread joy right here. Okay, how's that sound? I think it sounds pretty good. Greg Gutfeld was talking to a New York Times podcaster about, you know, his ascension, and here he is actually calling out. He was talking about people who criticize him, and he says that people who criticize him, conservatives who criticize Greg Gutfeld are always rather genteel and very nice. And that's the same way with people who criticize my show. The biggest complaints that conservatives have about my show is that occasionally I'll use what they would consider salty language, which is, you know, maybe the, the a word every once in a while, whatever, and, but otherwise they're nice. And the, the New York Times podcaster Said, well, you know, Christians are really, you know, very nice to you, but now when it comes to, you know, Planned Parenthood. And then, of course, Greg called him out.

[Greg Gutfeld]

They write letters, but they're so polite, though. The ones I get, I'm telling you, man, the ones I get, it's like, greg, we always respect your opinions, but I must ask you, please refrain from using the Lord's name in vain. And then they will try to. It's like Penn Jillette said to me, like, he's an atheist.

[Rob Carson]

He said, somebody who works at Planned Parenthood might have a different opinion about how polite the religion. Well, I mean, killing children. So that's part of the game. Greg says, yeah, but they are killing children. So there's that, you know. Yeah, pretty much. It was, it was, it was a nice comeback. Yeah. And, you know, like, for instance, I got a letter for the other day from someone, and I don't understand how someone would write and say, I'm never going to listen to your show again because I can't listen around my grandchildren. This woman called, said, I can't, I can't listen to Rob around my grandchildren because he occasionally says damn or whatever. And, and I, and I, I normally, I, I brush that off. But, but a. Why would you feel like you need to write the, you know, person in charge of programming to say you're not going to listen anymore? And, and, and also, I don't do a program for your grandchild children. Okay, that's, that's not my problem. This, this, this program is for adults who, who, who look very seriously at the, the, the direction of the country. We are patriotic. Patriotic. We are positive. We, we try to overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism. Occasionally we get very serious because these are serious times, for God's sake. We just had the Democrat Party try to shut down the government and they wouldn't have cared if planes fell from the sk. Got in their way. So occasionally I've got to get a little, you know, play a little hardball, because the left has been playing hardball with us for about a decade, including trying to censor us and succeeding in many ways. So as far as that criticism, if you're, if you, if you have a problem with one or two words that I use every once in a while, then you obviously miss the other thousands of words that I use to make points rather eloquently and occasionally with humor. Humor. There you go. So if you, if you're leaving the radio, you know, you're not going to listen to the show anymore. That's great. That's your decision. Not sure exactly why you feel like you need to tell the program director at whatever station. It's, it's. I don't know, it's some sort of flexing, some sort of musculature that isn't there, but it does happen. I got a little bit more with Greg Gutfeld on the other side, including entertainment welfare fair for late night hosts. The way he said it was really entertaining. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Sean Duffy]

I want to start with the.

[Rob Carson]

The biggest story in late night this.

[Sean Duffy]

Year, or biggest stories, I should say.

[Rob Carson]

Which are the impending cancellation of Colbert and Kimmel's suspension. Do you remember what your immediate reaction to.

[Sean Duffy]

To the news of both growth was?

[Greg Gutfeld]

I guess. Why did it take so long? Yeah, because, you know, I crushed them like bugs, David. I crushed them and I'd thrown them into the wind and they were still here. I call it Entertainment Welfare.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Greg Gutfeld]

The only reason why they were around for so long, the only reason why.

[Rob Carson]

Kimmel was back on was entertainment welfare.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Despite the fact that their numbers were dropping was that the fact that they kind of like toed the line. So I guess when I heard that they were gone, it really didn't surprise me because the numbers were saying it. I don't think it was political. I didn't know anybody, and I'm counting by many liberal friends who watched them. And I think it's because it wasn't entertainment anymore.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, exactly. 100%. When I was in Minneapolis in the 1990s, there was a liberal rag there and it said, yes, Virginia, they did a story on me. Yes, Virginia, conservatives can be funny. And conservatives have not been known for humor. And I have. And I realize that actually conservative humor is funnier because it's truthful. The left is not truthful with their humor. Jokes fall flat when they don't contain truth. When you just make up things about people, they don't work. That's why it's on the Ascension, by the way. Cyber crime has been spiking during the holidays, especially around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Falling victim to cyber crime is the last thing anyone needs, especially, especially during the holidays. That's why I have webroot total protection. I do. I've got it on my computer.
