Rob Carson (2:33)

This is our number two of the Rob Carson Show. Brigadier General Blaine Holt's going to join us at the bottom of the hour. He has a podcast called Dangerous Intellectuals, a very entertaining podcast and he has a lot of great guests and you ought to check it out. Dangerous Intellectuals.com if you get a chance to. Also this weekend, this weekend, Rob Carson's what in the World is my TV show. And it's, it's kicking butt. Been doing it a couple years, actually six years now. It's going to be on Saturday afternoon at 3 and Sunday night at 8:30 following Dr. Michael Savage. It's Newsmax only comedy show and Donald Trump thinks that told me that it makes me the funniest guy on television. So there you go. So there you go. There's a lot of things I want to get to this hour, including Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones here in a little while. I just, wow. Just amazed. Just amazed. The White House is blasting the fake news media for pushing the Iran propaganda 10 point plan that Iran came up with that said things like, yeah, Donald Trump's gonna let us keep our uranium and it was a lie. It was a bunch of crap, to be quite honest. And here is, let's see, I got J.D. vance, I got a bunch of stuff from J.D. vance and I've got a bunch of stuff from, from Pete Hegseth, by the way. Here is Pete Hegseth and JD Vance with regard to our expectations. And it sounds like Iran's kind of leaning into getting their asses bombed out, right? I mean, because literally right now Netanyahu is saying, okay, we're ready to go back, we're ready to do this again. And what may really have happened here is that Iran's given us a time to kind of regather, you know, regroup and whatnot and resum. The butt kicking because they're playing around, they can't be trusted. The people in power there, the ircg, the remnants of whatever remains of the Ayatollah's regime just needs to be wiped

Pete Hegseth (4:26)

the heck out to ensure that Iran complies.

JD Vance (4:31)

We want Iran to not be able to make a nuclear weapon. We want the nuclear fuel, which is something the President has made very clear. And again, the way to think about this is the United States has certain demands and certain things that we want. The Iranians have things they can get out of the negotiations. The more that they're willing to give us, I think the more they're going to get things out of this negotiation. And frankly, the President has all the cards here. We've got a lot of leverage. We got a lot of things that we can do. But right now I think that we're in a good spot.

Rob Carson (4:59)

That is done with the New York Times and, and others reported yesterday, the red, literally they read the propaganda that the Iranian regime was cranking out. Here is Hegseth talking about what the Iranians need to understand.

JD Vance (5:14)

Let me just say this.

Rob Carson (5:15)

I actually wonder, Katie Vance here on the tarmac.

JD Vance (5:18)

Then Hegseth, how he is at understanding English, because there are things that he said that frankly didn't make sense in some of the, in the context of

Rob Carson (5:25)

the negotiations that we talked about. The Iranian foreign minister, he had, he

JD Vance (5:28)

said, we refuse to give up the right to enrichment. And I thought to myself, you know what? My wife has the right to skydive.

Rob Carson (5:38)

Yes.

JD Vance (5:38)

But she doesn't jump out of an airplane because she and I have an agreement that she's not going to do that because I don't want my wife jumping out of an airplane. The deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation. That's what we give. And what they give is the straits are going to be reopened. If we don't see that happening, the President is not going to abide by our terms if the Iranians are not abiding by their.

Rob Carson (5:57)

And it's because we have effectively wiped out their military industrial complex altogether. So the thought that they have any ability to demand anything. I always say, you're not in the position to demand anything. It's like college students demanding that we divest from Israel. It's like, no, get your asses to your classes. You're not in the position to demand anything. You're not, you know, and then, you know, all the adults in the room during the summer of 2020 could have just stood and said, you're not in the position to demand anything. How about shut up. You can't demand this. You can't demand that. We're not getting ready for Christopher, Christopher Columbus statue. We're not going to do this. Nonsense. You're not in the position, you're not in a position of power or authority. Nonsense. Same goes here. Here is Pete Hegseth and Caroline Levitt talking about nukes being off the table. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

Pete Hegseth (6:47)

Non negotiable that they won't have nuclear capabilities. And so right now it's buried and we're watching it. We know exactly what they have and they know that. And they will either give it to us, which the President has laid out, they'll give it to us voluntarily. We'll get it, we'll take it, we'll take it out. Or if we have to do something else ourselves, like we did in Midnight Hammer or something like that, we reserve that opportunity.

Caroline Levitt (7:08)

This is on the top of the priority list for the President and his negotiating Team as they head into this next round of discussions. And as I said in my opener, that is a red line that the president is not going to back away from. And he's committed to ensuring that takes a place we hope it will be through diplomacy.

Blaine Holt (7:24)

Have they given any indication that they would turn it over?

Caroline Levitt (7:27)

They have, yes.

Rob Carson (7:28)

Now, to show you how embedded the media is with the Iranian regime against America. They hate Donald Trump. Okay? They're willing to do anything to Donald Trump. They were willing to believe everything about Donald Trump. They, they fell for all of the nonsense, the raid on Mar a Lago, the, the political weaponization of the DOJ against him with all of these, these court cases, know, the impeachments, all of that. That's, that's the side. They, they hate Donald Trump. They want Donald Trump out. But unfortunately, by doing that, they're also really endangering and demeaning our military and the efforts that they are having. Here is Caroline Levitt being asked and insulted by a media member about America having the high ground versus Iran. How can the president claim that America can ever have the moral high ground if he's threatening to destroy civilizations? And okay, again, this is a regime that has threatened to destroy America. And Israel since its inception 47 years ago, has committed thousands of acts of terror, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, the subjugation, enslavement, and slaughter of women in their own country, the erasure of that country's culture, all of it erased to be replaced by Sharia law. And he's asking this question, not casting

Pete Hegseth (8:56)

wars as fights against other governments.

Caroline Levitt (9:00)

Andrew, I think you should take a look at the actions of this president over the course of the past six weeks.

Rob Carson (9:04)

Yeah, yeah. Like Maduro being taken out. That happened before, but they got rid of Maduro and it's. The people in Venezuela are going to be freed there, you know, and then all the peace deals that he's made around the world and stuff.

Caroline Levitt (9:15)

The actions of our brave men and women in our United States military who have taken out the. Essentially taken out the military of a rogue Islamic regime.

Rob Carson (9:26)

Yeah, that's what Iran is. But now they're the darlings, that regime, the darlings of the media and the

Caroline Levitt (9:33)

Democrat Party that has chanted death to America for 47 years.

Rob Carson (9:36)

Oh, yeah, there's that.

Caroline Levitt (9:37)

That has killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers over the course of the last five decades. The president absolutely has the moral high ground over the Iranian terrorist regime. And for you to even suggest otherwise is frankly insulting.

Rob Carson (9:51)

I love that I love the fact that she gave him what fur. What an absurd thing. Say, honestly, it really has gotten so bad. The Democrat Party and the American media, they would rather have the Ayatollah still alive. They would rather have the Iranian people enslaved. They don't care about the 35,000 people that they murdered. When has the media said anything about the 35,000 people that have been murdered for just taking to the streets and protesting the regime? Where is it? Where is it? It's kind of like the Bush administration after Tiananmen Square, when. When they turned off the lights and murdered all the students. They say as many as 10,000 students murdered in Tiananmen Square. Murdered, crushed by tanks. Their bones and remains swept into the. Into the sewer system. I've done a lot of reading on it. It was covered up. Their remains were entangled with the remains of their bikes. And the Bush administration forgot about it. The American media forgot about it days later. Days later. And this is what they're doing now. Here's Caroline Levitt being asked about Donald Trump's comments on civilizational destruction when it comes to the Ayatollah. Why is it appropriate for the President of the United States to use that kind of language when talking about civilian targets?

Caroline Levitt (11:06)

Well, I understand the questions about the President's rhetoric, but what the president cares most about is results.

Rob Carson (11:12)

How can the president claim that America can ever have the moral high ground? Okay, we've already gone there. Here is JD Vance being asked the same question on the tarmac outside of Air Force One in Hungary.

JD Vance (Reporter/Interviewee) (11:21)

Threat to wipe Iranian civilization off the map still on the table. Is it fair to keep 90 million Iranians under that threat for the.

Rob Carson (11:29)

Yeah, we're going to kill 90 million Iranians, you moron.

JD Vance (Reporter/Interviewee) (11:32)

Actions of their leaders.

JD Vance (11:33)

Well, look, the leadership is really to blame for the condition of the country in Iran. The President of the United States has made very clear that the United States has a lot of leverage here. We have economic leverage. We've got military leverage. What he's trying to do is make sure the American people are safe and strike a deal that's good for the American people. I just, look, I encourage the Iranians to come to the table. Seriously. We've seen some signs that they're going to do that. We've seen some signs of bravado. Fundamentally, we're in a good spot. They're reopening the straits. We have a cease fire. And frankly, if they break their end of the bargain, then they're going to see some serious consequences.

JD Vance (Reporter/Interviewee) (12:07)

Wiping them off the Map is different.

Rob Carson (12:09)

Here we go. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, honestly, that happened on Sunday. All right. And we've already explained why he said that, because he is going up against a regime that wants to wipe us off the face of the planet. And his words, Donald Trump's words brought them to the table. Brought them to the table so we didn't have to bomb them.

JD Vance (Reporter/Interviewee) (12:29)

Economic leverage or military leverage. Why is that kind of language?

Rob Carson (12:33)

The words work better which useful in

JD Vance (Reporter/Interviewee) (12:35)

this it was useful kind of scenario.

JD Vance (12:38)

Well, again, the president, United States States is.

Rob Carson (12:40)

Did it result in a ceasefire in the Straits of Hormuz being opened, saying

JD Vance (12:44)

that unless the Iranians do the right thing, he is going to have some serious consequences for the regime? We obviously don't want the people of Iran to suffer, but we have a lot of leverage the president United States could use. And it's why I think it's so important for the Iranians to be negotiators in good faith.

Rob Carson (13:00)

Here's what's going to happen. This is my prediction. The Iranians are going to f around and find out that's what's going to happen. And we're going to come up with a strategic way to eliminate their bridges and their infrastructure. And then the Iranian people are going to take over. That's what's going to happen. That's what's going to happen. Take a break and come back. We'll get to Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, a new parody from Jim Gossett as well on the other side of the break.

Blaine Holt (14:44)

updated is the word homeless to the word unhoused.

JD Vance (14:50)

How about new?

Rob Carson (14:56)

You know, and while you're at it, let's just add to the LGBTQIA plus

Ryan Reynolds (15:02)

acronym deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIW G2SLGBTQIA plus.

Rob Carson (15:08)

This is abhorrent. And also R2D2 at C3PO. We're tired of the discrimination against. I. What the hell? Honestly. Wow. You people are just nuts. That's Canada, by the way. I know, I know. Your surprises me. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. There was just a lot of insanity going on. I, I had a little, a little montage I wanted to play. Here, let me see if I can find it. I'll get to one second here. The, the Democrat Party has been just throwing a temper tantrum for about a decade now. Here, here. Okay, Here, here, here. These are Democrats actually demanding that Donald Trump be removed from office. We need to be demanding that Congress convene today, and we need to be invoking the 25th Amendment.

Blaine Holt (15:49)

This is a very dangerous moment and

Lindsey Graham (15:52)

a very dangerous president.

Rob Carson (15:53)

Okay, that is just this week from Democrats. Here they are again. What exactly would have to happen to

Lindsey Graham (16:00)

invoke the 25th Amendment in this country?

Rob Carson (16:02)

Obviously, in an ideal world, you would try to invoke the 25th Amendment, which I think is amply justified.

Blaine Holt (16:07)

The man is deeply mentally unstable.

Rob Carson (16:10)

The cabinet should. Yeah, that was during Trump's first administration. And I'm really getting sick and damn tired of this crap, to be quite honest. And now they're saying Donald Trump has to be impeached. There is no doubt that this president's

Blaine Holt (16:24)

conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment.

Rob Carson (16:29)

No, not at all, actually. You already impeached him twice, you jerks. Just getting tired of it. I'm getting sick and tired of it. And it doesn't help with morons like Alex Jones, who is a nut bag, you know, and it's just amazing how many of. I was always, I was always kind of careful about, you know, picking on Alex Jones because his nut bag supporters would, you know, write me or whatever. And I'm going to tell you, here's how I can tell that Alex Jones is not taken seriously by MAGA supporters is because no one ever sends me material clips from Alex Jones like it has any credibility. And here is Alex Jones with another nut bag, Slowbert Barnes. Slowbert Barnes, dear God. Looks like he should be playing darts, you know, on the weekends at a little Irish pub, you know, where he Lives in the basement. I mean honestly. Here is Alex Jones nutbag supreme and Slowbert Barnes about removing removing Donald Trump from office existential threat. How do we 25th amendment is asked

Alex Jones Supporter (17:27)

the problem is to get the 25th amendment is harder than impeachment. You have to get 2/3.

Rob Carson (17:31)

Yeah Alex, that's the problem is it's hard to get to it 2/3 of the so what do we do?

Alex Jones Supporter (17:38)

Tackle Trump and pretend. Let him pretend he's president and publicly.

Rob Carson (17:42)

Yeah, let him pretend he's president there.

Lindsey Graham (17:43)

Alex.

Alex Jones Supporter (17:44)

Dudes report that he's going through a health issue advance takeover. It literally needs to be something.

Rob Carson (17:49)

Good luck with that. You're gonna have to walk over about 80 million of us Alex, like that.

Alex Jones Supporter (17:54)

It's that bad. The I've known you a long time.

Rob Carson (17:57)

You've never called for an internal coup before. Ever.

JD Vance (18:01)

Ever.

Alex Jones Supporter (18:01)

But that's how dangerous this is. That's how risky it is for the whole.

Rob Carson (18:04)

Yeah, if I was the Democrats I'd stop. Oh my God. How could you listen to his voice? How could you listen to his voice? He gargles every morning with with sulfuric acid. And then there's Tucker Carlson. Now Tucker Carlson is just a blue blood country club silver spoon elite. That's what Tucker Carlson is. Never been into a Walmart. He doesn't understand you and me. He doesn't understand the suffering we went through under the Biden administration. He would never hang out with you and he might want to be a part of you. He'd give you a little slight and then he'd go to his country club. That's Tucker Carlson. I used to consider him to be an intellect and I appreciated some of his commentaries but he's off the rails. Here he is talking about military should not obey Donald Trump even after the most successful military campaign, one of the most successful in our history, taking out Iran as a state sponsored terrorist organization with proxies around the world making it

Military Analyst (18:55)

is the logic of escalation in this war because in some sense Mark Levin is right. We are not going to open the straits with the United States marine Corps, the 82nd Airborne or no, we're going

Rob Carson (19:06)

to do it actually by bombing the snot out of them.

Military Analyst (19:08)

The tier one operators that everyone on cable knows news seems to know so much about. The tier one operators who Tier one just guys like some of the best guys actually in America could be killed in this. That's a better way to put it. Some more real way to put it.

Rob Carson (19:23)

Well, I think about over 3,000 were killed during the Afghanistan and Iraq conflict. So there's that there, Tucker.

Military Analyst (19:33)

They are not going to open the strait. And so unless he's going to be proven wrong, he puts the brakes on right away. Listen, we're going to wind up up in a place that we can't even imagine. Not just Iran, US and the rest of the world. And so that means cuz this is obvious to anyone who's paying any attention that if you.

Rob Carson (19:50)

Oh, I'm paying very close attention and you're wrong.

Military Analyst (19:52)

Work in the White House. We're in the US Military. Now it's time to say no, absolutely not. And say it directly to the president. No. In case you're thinking about using some weapon of mass destruction against the population of Iran in whose name we liberated Iran.

Rob Carson (20:05)

No, no, he's not. He's going to go after their infrastructure to bring it to the table, Tucker. And I mean honestly. What. What happened? What happened? This is Jim Gossett as Tucker Carlson, the Rob Carson Show.

Alex Jones (20:20)

I can't defend making Nick Fuentes my friend. What kind of message does that send? Could be the end.

Rob Carson (20:38)

Oh yeah, he's, he's done. I don't even subscribe to him anymore.

Alex Jones (20:41)

Just I feared. My support has disappeared.

Rob Carson (20:49)

You and Megan and Alex could be a throuple.

Alex Jones (20:52)

Folks now think that I'm weird.

Rob Carson (20:54)

No, Candace I think would be better. Yeah,

Alex Jones (20:59)

I'm not revered. Hanging myself it seems means that I'm hanging my cell every day. Hanging myself. Don't know why I'm hanging myself.

Rob Carson (21:26)

Yeah, exactly. Here is the Scott Jennings on CNN and this is what's going on. If Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson thinks the MAGA's gonna follow them off a cliff, they're not.

Scott Jennings (21:35)

I don't deny the usefulness of having surrogates and allies, but I think you're over subscribing their importance and all of

Rob Carson (21:43)

a sudden CNN loves Alex Jones and

Scott Jennings (21:46)

Tucker Carlson subscribing the importance of Trump himself. And I think frankly the only reason we're playing them on our air right now is because they're useful to a narrative.

Rob Carson (21:54)

Yes.

Scott Jennings (21:54)

We don't consider these people to be credible at any other time until they are attacking Donald. Otherwise we call them crazy.

JD Vance (22:00)

Otherwise we call them crazy.

Lindsey Graham (22:03)

I'm being very careful about it.

Rob Carson (22:05)

No, you're not.

Lindsey Graham (22:06)

View Alex Jones is credible. I don't view Tucker Colson but a lot of conservative anyways what is. However I do travel the country and talk to a lot of Trump folks.

Rob Carson (22:13)

Oh sure you do.

Lindsey Graham (22:14)

These people and I respect them and their choices and they do listen to them. I'm not saying they side with them,

Scott Jennings (22:19)

but they, I'm not disagreeing. I'm not disagreeing. They listen. But again, I, I would just say listening to someone and taking their word for everything over Donald Trump every day, I disagree.

Rob Carson (22:30)

Let me ask you a question. On the money. He is right on the money. They may listen to Alex Jones, but they draw a line and go, he's full of crap when he goes down this road. Same with Tucker Carlson. Second break and come back. Blaine Holt joins us on the other side of the break. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington, D.C. area, which is like sleeping on the sponge in your sink. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment. Beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghost bed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging, it's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed, you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back. Risk Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson. You are going to love your new ghost bed. Donald Trump just caved backing down from his fake deadline.

Rob Carson Show Announcer (23:58)

All day to day, everyone, most notably the people of Iran, were wondering if their civilization was going to die tonight. Well, good news, it didn't. It was the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays.

Bradley Cooper (24:09)

Very obvious for the last few days

Blaine Holt (24:10)

that the President was looking for an off ramp.

Caroline Levitt (24:13)

The Taco Trump always chickens out syndrome.

Democratic Critic (24:16)

We just can't accept a president who is literally promising to destroy an entire civilization to murder hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings. That alone should be grounds for the removal of this president. But he thinks, I guess, that the threat of mass scale war crimes has achieved some success.

Rob Carson (24:38)

I got to tell you, I've, I've never seen anything like it. We hear from Donald Trump, the New York Times and CNN and Chris Murphy all reported the fake 10 point plan from the, the IRCG that said that. Oh, yeah, Donald Trump has said that we could keep our nukes and they all fell for it. Now it's just become spewing our enemy propaganda. Here to talk about this and so much more is the host of Dangerous Intellectual, the terrific podcast, the one, the only, Blaine Holt. Brigadier General, how are you today, my friend?

Blaine Holt (25:13)

Sailing through the week, man. It's just one drama after another.

Rob Carson (25:17)

Well, he went from tyrant to taco in a week.

Blaine Holt (25:22)

He did, didn't he?

Rob Carson (25:25)

Name one thing he's chicken out on. Please tell me one thing that Donald Trump has chickened out on.

Alex Jones (25:29)

On.

Blaine Holt (25:31)

No, I don't really have. I don't have any answer for you on that one. What I will say is that he has taken extremely large but calculated risks in a world that demands that he takes calculated risks because he inherited a world on this second administration that is right at the abyss of World War Three. And so, unfortunately, that's going to call for very strong medicine. And the medicine has been different in every single part of the globe. He doesn't take, take a sledgehammer to every single problem. Yeah, he's taking a lot of fifth generation warfare into this problem. I can appreciate what they're doing. It doesn't mean it's not fraught with risk, and it doesn't mean that we're going to come through this with flying colors. We're in the middle of it.

Rob Carson (26:11)

Yeah, we are. The, the calls to limit Iran enrichment will fail. Fail. According to the chief of Iran's nuclear program, Mohammed Aslami. This says to me, this says to me that we're going to, we're going to eventually get back to bombing Brid and Electric Generation.

Blaine Holt (26:31)

You know, I kind of think you're. I think you're right. But the big thing is, and what everybody needs to understand is every single thing that flies out of the current regime in Iran's mouth is not aimed at President Trump or us or the west or anybody else. It's aimed at the Iranian people, because that's the enemy they fear the most at this point.

Rob Carson (26:50)

Yeah.

Blaine Holt (26:51)

And then they fear each other after that, which is the loyalty amongst the mullahs and the IRGC leaders is caving. So every day that goes by, they're all wondering, did you flip? Did you turn, did you talk to a Mossad guy? Did you talk to a CIA guy? Were you talking to revolutionaries? And so right now, the only thing they have left is to portray some false image that they're negotiating with a peer called the United States. And so they're making a lot of announcements that are just crap. One thing that is true is nothing's going through the Straits of Hormuz. And that's where I think we'll start to see action here fairly soon.

Rob Carson (27:29)

So what is going on and how are they able to do this, considering their diminished resources, military resources?

Blaine Holt (27:36)

I think we'd have to go ask the UK that. So let's go find out from those wonderful darlings from the City of London and Lloyd's of London whether they're offering insurance wrappers to boats to go through there, and if they're not, why. And then the other part is this toll nonsense. Well, we can stop them from collecting tolls. You can take a look at Maritime Tracker all for yourself and see where the, quote, toll booth is, if that's nothing more than an A10 mission. So we really do need to tell the world. And President Trump has just done that in his meeting with Mark Ruda, by the way. He went and told Europe and said, I want action on the Straits within days, not months, months. Not you think about it. He's, he's kind of dictating the way it's going to have to be.

Rob Carson (28:22)

Yeah, yeah. The. This is, let me see, Chuck Schumer. I want you to hear Chuck Schumer. This is how badly the Democrats. The Democrats started off day one when we vaporized the ayatollah, saying that it was a disaster. They've said we're at a quagmire and all of this. And yesterday Chuck Schumer said, we've accomplished nothing.

Rob Carson Show Announcer (28:40)

The bottom line is that it's still. Iran still has its nuclear stockpile, its nuclear, its nuclear ambitions. Iran still has its nuclear stockpile, its nuclear ambitions.

Rob Carson (28:52)

Oh, sure, you might. They might have that. They don't have.

Rob Carson Show Announcer (28:54)

The access to them are still unchecked, if not accelerated.

Rob Carson (28:59)

No, they're not.

Rob Carson Show Announcer (29:00)

And finally, American credibility. The nations of the world are furious at Trump.

Rob Carson (29:07)

You know, who gives a rat's behind about the elites of the world who are furious at Trump? Honestly, that man is ridiculous.

Blaine Holt (29:13)

I thought he brought that up, though, because it's the elites of the world that are the problem. That's where the war is. You're, if you want to look at Iran, Israel, you're just looking at a battlefield in a global war. This is World War Three. Nobody's going to announce it for you to make you understand that's what you're in. But this is, and I'm on my podcast, I'm interviewing here very Shortly vivified Mariposa, who's one of the best, most articulate writers on Substack about this particular issue, in who the real enemies are, what a deep state is, and that this is why President Trump is running around trying to put a fire blanket on all of it. And we've got to get aligned with this country called Israel that says they're our number one ally. I get it. They're our ally. But then don't have your finance minister show up on a soapbox and say, hey, now we're. The next thing we're going to do is start annexing territory in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Not really great politics while we're all supposed to be allied in a war, by the way.

Rob Carson (30:11)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think about two people? And I don't really care for Alex Jones. Never have. I think he's insane. He's saying that Donald Trump needs to have the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. I mean, honestly, he was never. He was never true to the movement. And he's also insane. What do you think about him? And then I want to ask you about Tucker Carlson. Go ahead.

Blaine Holt (30:34)

Yeah. So Alex Jones, I would question his motivations because this is a guy who's been all over the place ideologically and, you know, we can all be critical of plans and strategy, but understand that we are America and we are involved in a conflict and we need to rally around our leadership and the troops. But we can have thoughtful dissent here and there and say, no, I think we should do it this way. I think we should do it that way. That's what makes us a great nation. And then we come together around realistic solutions. But the man's got a big voice. He's got a big microphone and, you know, whipsaw turning on the president because you don't like the decision of the day. That's not dissent. That's. That's, that's actually something quite different. I won't use the word. But you know what it is?

Rob Carson (31:25)

Sedition. Is that the word you're looking for? Sedition is this.

Blaine Holt (31:29)

It rhymes with.

Rob Carson (31:30)

Yes. I want to get with Tucker Carlson on the other side. He says that military leaders should defy Donald Trump, which I believe that Democrats said a few months ago they were very close to being in some serious, serious troubles. We'll take a break and come back more with the great, great Blaine Holt on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show.

John Fetterman (31:56)

Strange to be gleeful. If you make these kinds of. Let's, let's go for the 25th Amendment. And then, you know, then we have, we have a ceasefire. Then it's like, taco, taco, taco. I mean, I mean, you know, like, you can't have it both ways. I mean, mean, so where we are, it's like strange to be gleeful. Gleeful that, you know, that, that we still have to accomplish some things and make these kinds of statements. I mean, you know, I'm old enough to remember we used to root for, for our military.

Rob Carson (32:28)

It is John Fetterman one of the only voices of reason. We have a Confederate Democrat Party. That's really what we have here. We have a country that's not only against the man who's won the election and is in charge, but also against, is rooting against the country. And I would venture to say that borders on Confederate thinking. Blaine Holt, what do you think?

Blaine Holt (32:52)

Yeah, it's a very, very tough situation. Look, I think amongst analysts, journalists, especially as famous as Tucker Carlson is, you have lines. I mean, there really are serious lines. So I hope that it's true that Tucker doesn't really think at any time that a bona fide elected commander in chief should have the military turn on him simply because in the journalist's opinion, it's the wrong war. That's a line you shouldn't cross. I hope he doesn't really think that. But quite honestly, I do think that Tucker needs to step back and take a look at the hyperbole and say, did I cross a line as an American citizen here? You know, Lincoln, during the Civil War, he was very pointed about sedition charges. On those that crossed lines. There were some very prolific cases. Clement Vallandigham was one of the most prolific of writing anti war stuff at a level that was well beyond the other journalists. And I'm not saying it's time to round up journalists by any stretch. And dissent is fine. Listen, I watched every bit of that Tucker Carlson monologue and it was just that part that I was like, look, I get it, you have this different differentiation in your opinion. But, but man, when you get into the chain of command with the commander in chief, unless you're decrying that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, you're really flirting with a zone that I would caution you on, on.

Rob Carson (34:30)

When I use Confederate, I'm not talking about, like the Confederacy. I'm using it as a, as an adjective. It is a behavior. It is, it is a, it is a behavior. Confederate behavior is not associated with the Confederacy of The civil war, it is just a, it is a, you know, it is a mode of thinking. It is a, it is a, you know, whatever. And, and I think it's really shameful. And I think our military has done a yeoman's job. You know, I was, Bradley Cooper was talking about, about what they have done. Here is Bradley Cooper talking about Iran treading cautiously.

Bradley Cooper (35:05)

This is gritty and unforgiving business. It's chaotic, it's hot, it's dark, it's unpredictable. And there's always unknowns. And our people proudly walked into those unknowns and continue forward. And through it all, the joint force has demonstrated the unwavering resolve that the nation demands of us. And today we have while be ready should that peace break, which we hope it is not, and we remain ready.

Rob Carson (35:34)

You know, here's the deal, and this is why the temperature is up here, is because we have experienced so much success in the first six weeks of this operation. And also you look at, also the rescue of the two pilots. You look at the Artemis mission, they're trying to drown out all the goodness. They really are. They're trying to drown out the goodness. They are trying to overwhelm the truth with lies. And that's really why we're here right now. I think the military is rock solid. They said we get a little breather if Iran screws around. We'll bomb the style out of them.

Blaine Holt (36:06)

Yeah. And what I really like, you know, in Admiral Cooper's words, he's professional, he's measured, but you absolutely can hear the ownership and the pride he feels for the forces he now commands in battle. And so again, we get back to the start, which is we have to roll this up to, well, who owns the media? The globalist, largely, who has the influence operations and all the bots in the social media spaces, largely the globalists, who are they in league with just about any damn thing that they can co op from the Chinese Communist Party right up to the deep state and beyond. And so we have to understand that we are in a fifth generation warfare battle space. And before you even look at TV and see one bomber dropping a bomb, you have to understand what psychological operations, information operations, influence operations, deception campaigns are. And then you've got to have to apply critical thinking. And that's what I really have been focusing on on my own podcast, is we've got to reinvigorate thinking for yourself. If you want to subscribe to what Tucker said in that, that's your opinion, that's fine. But put it all together. And say, I'm not going to stop here. I'm going to dig. I'm going to do some research. I'm going to find out about the histories here and how we got to this place. That's essential.

Rob Carson (37:24)

Now, here is. I want to share Kevin o' Leary talking about what is possible and what people I think are trying to cover up. They don't want us to succeed.

Kevin O'Leary (37:34)

Uae, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and of course, the Chinese in Singapore, in Japan, they'll all pay. And if it's five or six billion dollars a month, it's nothing.

Rob Carson (37:46)

He's talking about a passage through the

Kevin O'Leary (37:48)

strait compared to the value of stability in getting 21% of the world's oil through that strait. I like this outcome. I don't like war. But this tells me the region's coming back big. Because if you can get peace in the Middle east, it's one of the fastest growing regions on Earth.

Rob Carson (38:04)

There you again. And the left and those who would parrot the talking points of the Iranian regime are shouting to try to shut him up.

Blaine Holt (38:13)

Oh, yeah, and here's the thing. All the president is suggesting is we have been giving the world, since the United States Navy was nearly born, we've been giving the world a free ride on providing for the security of maritime commerce over the seas. And we haven't. We haven't asked for a nickel. Well, what we're saying now is, look, if NATO is not coming, if nobody else is coming, and we've got to solve this problem, then we're the ones who ought to get recuperated for this. We're the ones who put blood and treasure on the line. And we're trying to avoid a famine in Europe and Africa. We're trying to get oil and gas stocks back out to the Chinese and Asia, and what do we get? We get kicked in the mouth. And that's nonsense.

Rob Carson (38:59)

I'm getting kind of damn tired. But I'm going to celebrate this Iranian victory. It will ultimately result in the freedom for the people of Iran. And tomorrow, tomorrow I'm going to be watching as Artemis splashes down successfully. Ladies and gentlemen, that's good news. And I am. I am not going to let them piss on my parade. There you go, General. Tell everybody where they can find your podcast.

Blaine Holt (39:20)

Hey, come to dangerous intellectuals. We are making a splash. Last few weeks, I've had Mike Ariza on the oil and gas refineries in California. And then I got Mitch Fexler on last Monday, and both are reporting to me. They've had big successes in the course and working towards President Trump executive orders on all these things. Come find out because we're winning. And we've got another great one lined up for Monday.

Rob Carson (39:41)

We are. Absolutely. Thank you, Blaine. I appreciate you. Have a great weekend. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. All right, so coming up next hour, we have a crazy cat lady. She can't understand how you could not like liberals. Yeah, I know, I know. Also, also, Kevin Kiley and Steve Hilton were on with Rob Finnerty last night on Newsmax talking about the high speed rail project in California, which is nothing more than a boondoggle. There's. It's not, it's never going to be completed. California, the state legislature just deported another billion dollars. It's never going to be completed. And Hilton says part of the new plan, they're going to get it done in 2033 and one stretch of it will be by bus. You tell me how in the hell that makes any sense after spending $120 billion. It is, it is beyond belief. And I, and I really hope that Steve Hilton becomes the governor. Victor Davis Hansen also calls out the first lady of California. She's a, she's just a bimbo. It's a total bimbo. I want to mention my ghost bed. My ghost bed. I, I have some friends coming over this week from Pittsburgh, couple of good friends I've had for a time, and they're a married couple and all that, and I'm gonna make them sleep in the loft. Sorry, you're not getting the ghost bed. No, no, no, no. The king gets his bed. You guys can sleep in the loft. We got a nice little loft, you know, with the other bed that I had, which is, you know, it's pretty good. Not my ghost bed. I got this ghost bed, guys, and I, I just never, I never thought I could sleep this well. I ordered this bed. It was under two grand. I'll just say that it's under, it's gigantically cheap compared to other mattresses out there. It arrives, I'm like, okay, it's in a big box, fairly heavy. I carried it myself because, you know, I lift weights, laid it on the frame, undid it, and then just watched it inflate because it's vacuum sealed. And then it became this about what, 14, 16 inch thick, full size queen mattress with a topper. And it is the best I've ever slept. I had the same thing happen this morning. I don't want to get up. You know, normally I'm out of bed. I'm just like, boom, right here. I'm like, no, no, I don't get the snooze. I'm eating the stew. I haven't hit the snooze in years. I got my cell phone going and it goes and it offers me the opportunity. I'm hitting the snooze and going back to sleep. So it's amazing.
