Summary Takeaway

This episode showcases Rob Carson’s unapologetically conservative, satirical style, blending pointed political analysis with parody to mobilize listeners against what he frames as Democratic overreach at both national and state levels. Virginia serves as a prime example of political transformation and the dangers he perceives in progressive governance. The mix of mockery, musical comedy, and real-time debate with hostiles exemplifies the show’s “entertain and inform” philosophy—ending, as always, with the catchphrase: “Don’t catch the stupid.”

Transcript

[Rob Carson]

Hold it. Now you are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Show.

[Rob Carson]

We saw several interruptions from some of your Democratic colleagues who chose to attend the speech, including Congressman Al Green of Texas and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota who was a guest here in the situation this hour. Was that a productive way to speak out against Trump and his agenda by shouting, screaming during the course of his remarks? Listen, we have a president who continuously

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

goes before the American people and spews lies and misses.

[Rob Carson]

That's absolutely incorrect. He, he did not last night. He did a wonderful speech. He had lots of heroes up there. He, he outlined the successes of his administration thus far and the, the great things that are happening. Right. You're full of crap. You're full of crap. Here's Debbie was a man. My friend Chris Plant calls him her, her, her. Debbie was a man schnitz. Here she is talking to News Nation. Democratic Florida Congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz with us from the Always looks like a, like, I don't know, some sort of maybe a labradoodle right after a grooming. Nice to see you ma'. Am. Still hasn't been blown out. I understand maybe on not standing up with the transition issue. I just want to understand this one though. President Trump said, if you agree with this statement, stand up first. Duty of America should be taking care of American citizens, not illegal. Yeah, that's pretty cut and dried there. That's, that's a campaign ad right there. If you don't stand for that, then it tells you exactly what you need to know about Democrats. Why would that be hard to stand up for? Yeah. Leland, the president tonight gave a speech that was absolutely revolting. No, no, not at all. It was actually pretty awesome and most people agree it was absolutely awesome. Like 64% of, of, of CNN viewers said that the vision that Donald Trump painted for the country was the direction they want to go with. That's CNN viewers. Yeah. And then you got 93.3% of Republicans saying pretty darn awesome. Pretty darn awesome. And then of course one of the big lines of the night which describes Debbie Wasserman Schultz stands up. These people are crazy. I'm telling you, they're crazy. This is why they're caterwauling today. This is why they're saying Donald Trump this, Donald Trump that. Because they, they have been called out. The President, United States no holds. Bart said, you guys are out of your friggin minds. Out of your friggin minds. Here, here's one of the, the, the, the things that she considers to be, you know, absolutely awful. In the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States. Oh, that's. Oh my God, that's just awful. Yeah, no illegals over the southern border. No murders and rape is coming from Venezuela prisons. But we will always allow people to come in legally. People that will love our country and will work hard to maintain our country. Yeah, we've always said that. Because you know why? Because we're the sons and daughters of immigrants, by the way. And there are only two sexes, so it's sons or daughters. You can't be a they them. We wear their whatever, you know, you have multiple personalities. Here's Donald Trump shaming Rashida Talib and Neil Han Omar. They were, they were like, I don't know, they like vampires having holy water splashed on them. Criminal aliens, in many cases, drug lords, murderers. All over our country, they're blocking the removal. He's yelling at him by saying that of these out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself. I know, I know you should be. But you, you have no shame. So there is that. Here's Mike Johnson talking about those two harpies from hell.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

You know, it, it was shameful really. And, and I, I came this close to stop.

[Rob Carson]

Rashida Talib was, when they were chanting usa, she was saying kkk. That's what they were saying last night. And Tim Burchette was approached about that and he heard the same thing.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

And then we could have probably ejected

[Rob Carson]

him from the floor, but, you know,

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

let their act and speak for themselves, the president. And if they'd gone a step further, we probably would have ejected them. But I think it was good for them to be there.

[Rob Carson]

I think it's good for the American

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

people to see the shame that they brought upon their party and upon themselves. And what a stark contrast between them

[Rob Carson]

and between the Republican Party. We're standing and cheering for all these

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

great Americans who deserved all this attention tonight.

[Rob Carson]

The brave law enforcement officers, military officials

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

who received all the medals and the honors tonight. The victims of crime. I mean, we're on the right side of common sense, on law and justice,

[Rob Carson]

on security and righteousness, American dominance and strength.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

And the Democrats stand for exactly the opposite of all that. Their record shows it. And their actions tonight, I think really

[Rob Carson]

brought shame on the party 100%. But again, they don't have any shame. They don't have any shame. Here's Harry Enton on cnn. Maybe the reason why they had Abigail Spamberger, the pasty white cat lady. Karen called this act dwelling. Karen from Virginia as the. As the Post speaker as the rebuttal to Donald Trump's speech. The reason, because the rest of the Democrat Party is a clown car from hell all running. And this is just a downright clown

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

car at this point on the Democratic side.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, just take a look here. Top choices for the 2028 Dem Perez nominee. You have a leader, but it's not really a clear leader.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

It's within the margin area.

[Rob Carson]

You have Newsom at 19%. Then you have former Vice president Kamala Harris.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Quite a weak number for her given that of course she was the nominee last time around.

[Rob Carson]

She was terrible to judge who of course is run before 13%. She wasn't the nominee. They made her the VI presidential candidate or the presidential candidate without any votes. Alexandria OCASIO Cortez at 12%. Yeah. This is just a total clown car. It is a total mess. There is no clear front runner at this particular point on the Democratic side. Oh no. But they've got a lot of possibility. Just listen to Katie Porter and. And Kamala Harris about all of the great candidates.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Simple, powerful message that we can all agree on. Say it with me. Are you ready? 1, 2, 3.

[Rob Carson]

Trump.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

That's right.

[Rob Carson]

Trump. Yeah. Brilliant. The state could lose. Get out of my shot. She's nice. That's actually incorrect. It's not that. It's electric vehicles. That's Katie Porter.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Paris Climate Ward. Okay. It does. Okay. You also were in my shop before that.

[Rob Carson]

We have so many stars in our party.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

There are so many stars. And let's not be afraid of them.

[Rob Carson]

You know, you talk about Mamdani. I mean, he's exciting. You just look at the range of what we have. So many.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Jasmine Crockett, who I just talked to recently. I mean, we have so many stars.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God. No, not at all. They're all a bunch of idiots. I mean, honestly. Jasmine Crockett, Zoran Mondame. Here's Jim Gossett as the Prezi. Supreme Court just ruled for me. Injunctions now a history. The market just hit an all time high. It's pretty awesome. Told NATO they must be fair. They've got to pay a bigger share. I caught CNN and another lie. They always do. I made a trade deal with China. Yes, it was quite a tremendous week. I have a question that I'd like to ask you. What's that? Your answer is something I see. Okay, what is it? H. How do you like me now? Boom. 11 out of 10. How do you like me now?

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Now that I'm on a roll, I'm

[Rob Carson]

sure that I'll be surging in each and every pole broker to ceasefire. People ask me how, look at what we've done. How do you like me now? I know, I know. Doing a pretty damn good job. The Democrats know it. The Democrats know it. Go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy patreon.com Jim Goss Buffett comedy He will send you two parodies a day. He's brilliant. He's brilliant. And you know what? This is the only show that does satire, by the way, in case you, you're a new listener or viewer. Or viewer on Newsmax Social media. The only show in America that makes a point with humor. That's what we do. That's what separates us. We lead the opinion. We lead opinions. We're right about 99.9% of everything. And, you know, we entertain, inform, maybe even motivate you to do good. Here's a C Span caller yesterday before the State of the Union saying that she thinks the State of the Union is pretty darn Good morning.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

The State of the Union is tremendous.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

I can't possibly be any more proud of this president than I am. He has withstood.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I'll tell you what's the speed last night and probably went up a little bit more.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

So much negativity, 90 something percent negativity from the news media. I don't even call them news media. It's just the most absurd thing I've ever heard. And people are not getting the message. What I saw yesterday with a. With. He had a. Excuse me. He had a program yesterday for the children that have been killed by angel families. Yeah, the angel family. Thank you. I was so impressed. And anyone that can not see the love and total respect for this country that this man has put on, it's just incredible. Yeah, it's incredible.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Meanwhile, we had Pudding for Brains who said he was going to cure cancer when he was campaigning, did not cure cancer, had thousands of classified documents in two locations. They discovered that he couldn't be prosecuted because a jury would say that he's a kindly old man with a bad memory. All right? A man who sicked the DOJ and every, every, every department of the federal government on Donald Trump. Now we know, actually helped to order the raid on Mar A Lago. Among other things, that Pudding for brains, who caused 9% inflation one year, 30 plus percent inflation overall, 100% increase in the price of a home from the mid-200s to the mid-400s. A tripling of the interest rates. I can go on and on. A worthless president who actually helped start the Russia Ukraine war and presided over massive, massive fraud with massive, massive Covid increase in government. A complete fraud. A complete corruptocrat whose family got tens of millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party into seven LLCs with different family members to the tune of 30 million. Tell me that's better than this, man, please. Oh, yeah. If you do, I'm gonna say you're full of crap, because you are. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Come on, Pete, stop moving. Gotta keep you there. Come on. It was a Rob Carson show. Coming up at the bottom of the hour. Coming up at the bottom of the tour is Senator Bryce Reeves, a Virginia senator. Talk about Abigail Scamberger. Her little address last night. Lied about every. Lied about everything. Lied about everything last night. That was crazy. And then the Democrats, they're their big things last night, which, by the way, flew over like a lead balloon, as they like to say, Epstein files, which they sat on for four years and did nothing. And there's nothing to the Epstein files. Donald Trump had nothing to do with it. But 85% of Democrats. 85% of the people mentioned in these files are Democrats. Here's Jim Comey. Look, I think it's very clear thus far that probably at least 85% of the people who spent a significant amount of time with Epstein were Democrats. I think you see from the emails, especially towards the end, there was a clear effort by Jeffrey Epstein to coordinate with Democrats and some Republicans to try to undermine President Trump and his election. So we also saw that President Trump called the Palm beach police when Epstein was arrested. Yeah, it's. It's just kind of amazing. They still think that they can just say something and it won't be challenged or exposed that that may have been the case when abc, cbs, NBC, pms, npr, cnn, MSNBC were the main sources of information. Not anymore. It is kind of ridiculous. But anyway, they tried that last night. The Rashida Tlaib had a. A lapel pin that said, f ice Again, real classy. Stay classy, Democrats. Really, really classy. Unreal news from New York and Zoran Mandami in just a second. If you had $20,000 in 2006 and you decided to invest it in gold, you could have bought 33 ounces of gold. Do you know what that would be worth now? $165,000. That's unbelievable. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metal. You need to consider buying gold from my friends at Birch Gold. I trust them. They have my money. For thousands of years, gold has been a store of wealth. And today it's a crucial part of any balanced strategy. Come on now, everybody wants gold. There's gold in our hills. You know, Burt's Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered retirement account in gold. Text my name, Rob to the number 989-898 to receive your info kit on gold. No obligation, just information. A plus rating from the bbb. Tens of thousands of happy customers and they make it really very simple and easy. A couple phone calls and you're in like Flynn, baby. Text Rob to 989-898 today for Birch Goal. So the. The recent historic blizzard killed 19 homeless people in, in New York City. And Zoran Mannami said it wasn't that. Actually, it was that. Katie Turr asked him about it and of course she didn't call them homeless people. This is the first thing you'll hear this, but he says, no, they died of drug ODs.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Did you deal differently with the unhoused population?

[Rob Carson]

It's an unhoused. This is what they're trying now, by the way. This is the new thing they're trying to say homeless people are the unhoused. Okay. So I just wanted you to know that relation this time around because there was nothing over that nonsense that changing the words up and all this crap. No, no, no, no.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Some criticism as to what happened to

[Rob Carson]

a number of people during the last storm. And you see, because he, he stopped the police from clearing out homeless encampments and putting them indoors in shelter. That's what he did. He said, stay out on the streets. You won't be rounded up. And they froze to death.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

You see old snap 19 outdoor deaths.

[Rob Carson]

19.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

That's a really high number. There were seven indoor deaths as well.

[Rob Carson]

Those people were housed, I guess potentially

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

linked to bad heating or no heating at all.

[Rob Carson]

Did you change your strategy?

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

And are you confident that everybody who, who was out in the streets got inside and survived?

[Rob Carson]

So as of now, we have no deaths reported from this blizzard from being

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

outside or in a public area.

[Rob Carson]

And we have also been looking to utilize every single method of outreach that we have. We have more than 500 homeless outreach

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

workers who have been traversing the fire.

[Rob Carson]

The 19 people die in the last cold stamp boroughs looking to connect homeless New Yorkers with services, he said homeless, they're unhoused support. And what we've also learned is the tools that were effective over the course of the prolonged cold period. Again, a historic period of sub freezing conditions. Those are ones we've employed from the very first day of our response to this one. I'll give you one example. A number of those New Yorkers who lost their lives, the preliminary indications came that it was from an overdose related death. Okay, why didn't it happen the week before? Why didn't 19 people die of ODs the week before? It waited until the cold step when they were living outdoors. Yeah, he's just so unbelievably full of crap. Just honestly unbelievably full of crapola. And listen to this. AOC and Mandami fury. As AOC and Mandami urge illegal migrants to sign up for free childcare. This as New York City is financially strapped, he's considering raising property taxes on everybody. They've decided to encourage undocumented illegal aliens to sign up for free childcare. In a Spanish advertisement, they've joined socialist congressional ally AOC together to do this. Here's the actual ad where Zohrand Mandami admits that he doesn't speak Spanish very well. Arabic, he's really good. Hola, mi espanol.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

No es el.

[Rob Carson]

No. You're full of el crapola muy crappola in your brain. Gratis means. But of course, that means taxpayers are going to pay for it. Ocasio Cortez steps into the frame. Obviously any New York City parent, regardless of your occupation, income or immigration status, is eligible to sign up. They still haven't given up, have they? They haven't given up. They're never going to give up. Every Democrat is suspect. If they say they are a moderate, know that they are lying. Every Democrat I'm talking about, except for maybe John Fetterman, be the only person that I might consider somebody who, who was not doing this. It is, you know, obviously with, with Abigail Spamberger. She, she lied to become the governor. Same thing's going to happen in, in, in, in, in New Jersey. Same thing is happening in Seattle. Same thing is happening in New York City. Know that you, if you are a demo, if there is a Democrat running in 2026, you cannot trust them to be moderate because the entire party, if you notice even the reaction to Donald Trump's speech last night, they're leaning into illegal aliens, blaming Donald Trump, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, know that they have not changed Course, that's all you need to know. All right, so coming up after the bottom of the out, gonna talk to a Virginia senator, the state senator, Virginia's name is Bryce Reeves. Gotta give you an inside scoop on Abigail Scamberger and what she is doing in this state and how it could be coming to a state near you if you're not careful. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Car. Hey guys, it's Carson for Quints. You know, a well built wardrobe is about pieces that work together and hold up over time. That's what Quince does best. Premium materials, thoughtful design, everyday stables that feel easy to wear even as the weather shifts. Quince has everyday essentials. I love the quality that lasts, by the way. Organic cotton sweaters, polos for every occasion, lighter jackets to keep you warm in the changing season. The list goes on. Now Quince works directly with top factories and cuts out the middleman. So you're not paying for brand markup, just quality clothing. Everything is built to hold up to daily wear and still look good season after season. I have a great wool blazer that has the ladies turning their heads even if they're not looking at me. And then of course a cashmere sweater, ridiculously soft, doesn't cost a fortune as well.

Well, so we've got route on the mall, really low turnout for protesters. There's maybe 100 protesters out here but you've got 20 of the these activist politicians that Adam Schiff and the rest of the clown show out here that are starting here. This is one of the locations of protest and then they're going to be moving to the press club. Hopefully I get a chance to confront them. But this is, you know, just the shamefulness where they have politicians who put American people last and illegal aliens first. That's what we're looking at. Ben Berkram who is a great journalist, he was out last night outside of the Capitol to the to see the Democrat clown show with a guy in the dinosaur suit who was one of the church raiders in, in Minneapolis. And then of course a cadre of losers who've been rejected by America like Joy Reid, among others, and Adam Schiff, who's about as likable as, I don't know, dog do. How's that dog do? I think that's pretty good, actually. It's kind of perfect, actually. I think I'd rather step in dog do than talk to Adam barefoot, by the way. I would do that. Senator Bryce Reeves is a Virginia state senator and he joins us on the Newsmax hotline. Senator, welcome to the show.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

How are you today, Rob? I'm doing great. I appreciate getting on the program. Just stepped off the dais here in the General assembly building.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I just moved to Virginia about six months ago, my friend. I chose to move to Virginia because I lived in Maryland for a dozen years, then moved to Kansas City and then Fairfax and Loudoun county elected this, this bad guano crazy cat lady, Abigail Spamberger.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

No refunds. That's what they'll tell you. No refunds. Yeah, it's, it's bad. I don't call her Abigail Spamberger. I'll call her Hillary 2.0. You know, she, within a matter of hours reversed direction with regard to enforcement of our illegal immigration here in the commonwealth, made us a sanctuary of state and it's continued to go downhill from there. So it won't be long before we're par with Maryland, down with CNBC rating how we're doing business based on all the plethora of bills are just keep shoving through here in the General Assembly. It's, you know, being in the minority is not the best place to be. And if they get the referendum done for the, the gerrymandering, I think we're going to be held up for a couple of decades.

[Rob Carson]

Are there any sort of legal options for Republicans in the state of Virginia? I have spoken to several people because she did not run on the platform that she has done that. That is a bait and switch. You, you decide on a party platform to present to voters, then the voters vote on that party platform. This was not the case. She ushered in a new era of left leaning politics akin to what Zoran Mandami is doing. I know that there have been some petitions started. I would like to think we're not completely helpless here, sir. What do you think?

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Well, be careful how you equate her to Mandami. I did that recently in the New York Times article bluff piece that came out on her and I compared her to Mandami and I said the difference between Mandami and her new governor is at least at Mandami admits he's a socialist. And for that I got taken one of my major committees as a senior member of the Senate taken away from me. So, you know, retribution is key. But listen, I'm not surprised by any of it. And look, the truth is she was a CIA case operative. That's what she said she used to recruit people for the CIA to get information from them. And all you got to do is read that New York Times article, really read it under, understand what she says when she says she could get all these people and have five different passports and lie to them the whole time and get them to earn their trust and then do them dirty. So that's what she's doing to us. So she's revealed herself to us. We just have to understand that's how she works. And so, you know, buyer remorse. Sorry, we can't have it now. It's. The election's done and gone, but we can do is, you know, show the rest of the world and now that she's the diamond darling of the Democrat Party, that she's just truly Hillary 2.0 coming forward. And, you know, really look at her record because she can't hide like she did in Congress. These bills are going to come to her desk and she's going to sign them, veto them, or send them back with an amendment. So people need to pay attention.

[Rob Carson]

We had a $2.3 billion surplus. She's decided we need 50 tax increases, a turn into green energy, which America has has rejected. I wonder if the federal government can do anything with reg. Withholding funds to, to stop some of this. Has anyone discussed that possibility?

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Absolutely. And we've been in contact with our federal counterparts, but the reality is we've got two injunctions from circuit court judge. The first one, the Supreme Court, malice or derelict of duty, didn't rule on the. The law, so they sent it back and said you can continue. And then two of our congressmen filed suit. The same judge sent a different injunction down, basically halting everything. But the Democrats are moving forward, spending $5 million of taxpayer money to try to gerrymander the state, hopefully before somebody else interjects. But they're moving forward despite the rule of law. And so we're waiting to see who's going to help enforce that.

[Rob Carson]

Well, they proposed and I guess passed a, an absurd and it will not stand restriction on the second Amendment saying that people cannot have gun under the age of 21 and restricting it to, I believe, what target practice and hunting. That will not stand. I would assume that will be immediately challenged in a court of law that cannot and will not stand any state in the nation. That has never been done before.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Well, you know, she wants to be a first in everything. She's been the first woman governor of Virginia, and I wouldn't be surprised if she signs that bill and it moves forward. And we're gonna have to file more lawsuits. You. We've already got the 10 or 11% tax on firearms and ammo. You know, a former West Pointer from up north who they drew a congressional district for in this new redistricting is carrying the quote, unquote, assault weapons ban. And these things are all moving forward. They've made them through the House and through the Senate, and we're in the final throws. I think we have about two weeks left to get the budget done. We have been able to curtail some of the spending on the. The five Republicans on Senate Finance, myself being one of them, have hopefully stopped any of the tax increases. As best we can tell, we're crunching through the budget as liter, starting early this morning in some work groups that we have in the caucus, going line by line by line and trying to catch the stuff they try to hide from us. And so, you know, we don't vote on the budget probably till Monday, this next week. And, you know, hopefully we can stop a lot of the tax increases from happening.

[Rob Carson]

See, Boeing is relocating to St. Louis. Is that because of her?

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

I can't say definitively, but I would probably say yes.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Unbelievable. And I got to tell you, I've been here six months, and if things don't. If they go the way of Maryland, I won't live here. I mean, it just. It's terrible. I think it's dreadful. I don't think that most of the people in Virginia feel this way. I've always looked at Virginia as a free state, as a. As a patriotic state, as a founding state. You know, when I drive through Old Town Alexandria, I see names. Washington. I still see names leaked. People who are proud of their country still live here. And I'm hoping maybe down the road, recall petition might be considered some sort of legal action. I know that you got a kind of tiptoe around, but I think you got a lot of people mad. And I will tell you, as a media figure who is nationally syndicated, I will do everything I can to fight this Democrat legislature and governor, sir.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Well, that is so good to hear, because I've been trying to shout from the rooftops, and, you know, the city is burning as we speak, so to speak. And, you know, all we can do is get the word out, and if it wasn't for patriots like yourself, that could help us get that word out. I've been telling other states they are running a plan here that they're going to try to run in all the states, especially the red states, and try to start chipping away at it. And I tell the solidly red states that if they really, truly want to try to stop it, you got to pay attention because they have a way of kind of working in, like, the best way I can describe it is, you know, mold in the shower gets in the small pieces of the grout, and if you don't kill with bleach, it'll take over everything. Well, that's what the Democrats are doing to these states. They're coming in, they're taking. They're using a lot of money coming in, winning some of these seats, and then eventually they take control, and then they ruin a state and move on to the next state.

[Rob Carson]

So, yeah, they're like the aliens from Independence Day, the movie. They are, man. They devour the resources and move on the bastards. Senator Bryce Reeves, you've got a rooftop to yell from here. Okay, brother.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

I appreciate you getting me. I'll come on anytime and let me get through this budget the next couple days, and I'd love to come back on and tell you what's in it. And I'll send it to your. Your producer, too, so you can. You can squawk about it on the. On the radio and let everybody know.

[Rob Carson]

But we're here for you, man. I appreciate you. I really do. I want to be proud to live in the state. I'd like to spend the rest of my life in this state. But I got to tell you, if it goes the way in Maryland, I'll be the hell out of here. I appreciate you, sir. Thank you. So where can people find you? Where can people find you on social media? And what.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

@bryce reeves.com and @reeves va is my twitter or X sign? And trust me, there's plenty out there already. If you just Google me, it'll come up because I've been pretty outspoken about this, Governor.

[Rob Carson]

All right, we'll talk again soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Let me share Brian's story from Alabama. He tells us about relief factor. Trying it for just three weeks. At least 90% of my pain was gone. My pain had started to limit me at work and at home. And I'm amazed at the relief I'VE gotten. Those are Brian's own words, and they speak volumes about what Relief Factor can do. I've seen that kind of transformation myself, and hearing Brian's experience just reinforces why I'm so passionate about sharing this with you all. Don't wait. If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you. Call 800 for relief. That's 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain?

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

President Trump did talk about fraud, though,

[Rob Carson]

and the billions fraud that have been exposed in Minneapolis. And I think it's interesting that they chose Spamberger because she campaigned as a moderate and she's doing quite the opposite. So I think she will have a

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

hard time really delivering on what she

[Rob Carson]

shared tonight because she seems to be a Trojan horse for the far left

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

policies that are selling that.

[Rob Carson]

Is Tiffany Smiley on pbs, of all places, telling the truth about Abigail Scamberger, who is the governor of the state of Virginia. You know, listen, they're, they're, they are, the left is unrelenting. They will do anything they can. We thought we beat them in 2024. They are unrelenting. They haven't given, given up on all of the nonsense that they went with, the transgender nonse, the DEI nonsense, all of that. So they will continue. We've got to beat them into the ground. We got to pound them into sand, George or no. Frank, Frank on the line. Frank wants to talk. Hello, Frank. Welcome to the Rob Carson Show. What's on your mind? Hello, Rob, can you hear me? Go ahead. Make sure my headsets working right. You can hear me? Yes. Okay, so I had an issue with

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

something you commented on earlier.

[Rob Carson]

Like, earlier in the podcast, you were Talking about how Zero Month Dami let

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

like 20 people freeze to death during a snowstorm.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. So my issue is that is from

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

listening to you for, like, for a

[Rob Carson]

little while, I was kind of getting

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

the impression that you didn't really care

[Rob Carson]

too much about homeless people. Wow, that's what you got. You don't listen. You called it a podcast. It's not a podcast until the radio show's over and we put it up on the podcast. You're not a listener to the show. Second of all, honestly, what an absurd thing to say. Why would I bring up the story if I didn't care about homeless people? I mean, this is what you got. I mean, really, this is what you got. It is remarkable Whenever I have people who want to counter on the show, first of all, they come out by saying, I heard it on the podcast early. We don't have a podcast. We do a radio show and we make a new podcast. Second of all, Zoran Mandani. Zoran Mandani. I'm not done talking. My show, my podcast. Zoran Maundami ordered police to not take down homeless encampments and let them stay outdoors. And they did freeze to death. If they didn't freeze to death, then why did 19 homeless people not die of drug overdoses when it was warmer a week earlier? Okay, so the encampments, you mean like

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

their tents that they set up?

[Rob Carson]

Up, yeah. They're in homeless encampments all over the place. You bet. Yeah, they are. They're in home, they're in encampments. They sleep on park benches, they sleep in under overpasses, all that stuff.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Okay, so how we're telling them not to take the. Take them down, make them freeze to

[Rob Carson]

death because you're staying outdoors. Okay, I'm done with the conversation. Thanks for the phone call. I mean, honestly, I don't. I'm just going to be honest. I don't have time to waste your time with this. I don't have my time to waste with my time with this. I don't have time to sit around, around in a traffic circle of stupid and entertain moronic principles like, he started with, A, your podcast. B, you don't care about homeless people. If you say that to start the conversation, the conversation is over. I am not going to sit here and just do a circle fest of idiocy. It's just not going to happen. You can challenge me. Challenge me on something intelligent. Don't open the conversation with something so absurd. I try to be very polite to people, but I really don't. I mean, your life is too short to entertain this nonsense. The left has had the control of this absurdity, this nonsense, this debate about whether or not a boy can become a girl and a girl can become a boy. That conversation is over. I don't have time to debate it anymore. It's not debatable anymore. Things like this are not debatable anymore. Zoran Mandami said homeless people, encampments, sleeping outdoors don't need to be rounded up. A cold snap came. 19 people died. He says now it was drug overdoses. If that were the case, then why didn't 19 people die the week before when the weather was warmer? Because they froze the day. Death. Because they were outside during a Cold snap. End of discussion. End of discussion. Oh, by the way, and if you want to hear your phone call, it's going to be on the podcast later. Thought you should know. Just honestly. Wow. I don't have time for it. I just. I don't have time for absurdity anymore. I don't have time for nonsense anymore. I don't have time to argue about things like the southern border. I don't have time to argue that lowering taxes is going to make the economy debtor. I don't have time to say that drill, baby, drill is going to create more. More oil and we're going to. The energy prices are going to go down. I don't have time for saying that tariffs are a good thing because they are a good thing and they've been proven to be a good thing. I'm not going to sit here and mentally masturbate about things that are provably correct on my side and wrong on your side. There you go. I'm done. I dropped the mic, but I got to finish the show. Show. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. As a Rob Carson show, I got a text from my producer Ken, also known as Redneck MacGyver. Ha ha ha. Oh, my God. You destroyed that caller. You know what? I. I haven't told you lately why I call him Redneck MacGyver, have I? I was thinking about this the other day. Ken is my sensei. He's a. He's a great guy. I've known him now for six years. And he's. He's a good guy. And. And he has not put up the chrome reclining women, the decals on his truck like I said he should. I. Because he got a new truck, and it's black and it's a. It's a Nissan, big old truck. And I sent him the. I was going to send him the mud flaps with the chrome reclining women. I sent him the decals. He didn't put them on there. I'm insulted. That said, he lives in Arkansas. Here's the reason why I call him this. I got this electric mountain bike that I purchased. I ended up giving him my daughter's boyfriend like an idiot. And then he broke up with her. And anyway, he got the same bike, right? And he figured out. He said, rob, I figured out how to make this bike go 50 miles an hour without pedaling. He said, he turned off the governor, which is the thing that keeps it going 30 miles an hour. And I figured out to make it go 50 miles an hour without the pedaling. And he says, the only problem is, is when I'm on it going that fast, the cigar ashes get in my face. That's what he told me. So he made a motorcycle. He made a motorcycle out of a mountain bike. I know. That's why I call him Redneck MacGyver. I'm going to play this song. I came up with this song a few years ago about all the idiocy of the left tries to convince us of. And we were being censored at the time. And I decided to make a parody out of it because the only way I got around the censorship from our government was with satire. And I came up with the expression don't catch the stoop.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Stupid.

[Rob Carson]

So I want to play it for you. Arizona and Corona, all the lies about them they've been telling you. They censored us. How did they win it? The freaking Senate. When the votes that they received were very few. Jim. Gossip. Don't catch the stupid. Don't buy that bs. The climate change is real. Inflation's not. Don't catch the stupid. Don't believe them. Because distraction and diversion's all they got. We all know that Hurricane Ian was the result of global warming. Russian collusion led to confusion. January 6th is a smokescreen. The New Green deal is a disguise deal like their mandate forcing you to take vaccine. Don't catch the stupid. You just can't do it. That in women's sports, men should. They're teaching sex ed in kindergarten. They're destructive policies we must defeat. Like wear a mask. Don't wear a mask.

[Guest/Caller or Co-host]

Statues have fallen.

[Rob Carson]

It's so appalling to ignore Hunter's laptop and his staff. Yep. Don't catch the stupid. Rejected. Nonsense. Everything is stupid on the West. Yeah, that's what I came up with. When you couldn't talk about any of those things on social media. Every one of those things right there was verboten. They called it disinformation. And how was I able to say it five and a half years ago with comedy? That's why comedy is so important. That's why I do it. Among other stuff. Entertain, inform, motivate, mock, ridicule, satirize. They're powerful weapons. They really are. Right. Hell of a speech last night, Mr. President. I gotta tell you, it was amazing to watch. God bless you. America's founded Donald Trump and what he's doing for this glorious, glorious country in its 250th year. And until tomorrow, which is Thursday, you know what I'M going to say. Don't catch it. Don't catch the stupid. I love you guys.
