EPISODE OVERVIEW

This episode, broadcast live on Newsmax Radio, delivers Rob Carson’s signature blend of humor and sharp political commentary.

• The Fight for Election Integrity: Robust discussion around voter ID laws, the SAVE Act, and widespread opposition to Democratic resistance to common-sense voting requirements.
• Cultural and Social Change: Critique of "woke" phenomena, cancel culture, and the implications of shifting language and policies (e.g., “homeless” to “unhoused”).
• Rising Concerns over Immigration, Crime, and Social Disorder: Insights into international grooming scandals, Minneapolis unrest, and the consequences of sanctuary policies—using Minneapolis as a case study.
• Optimism and Activism: The role of citizen journalism (Liz Collin), grassroots organizing (Scott Pressler), and conservative advocacy in fighting back.
