Now you are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson show, the only conservative talk show in America that not only entertains, informs, but motivates people. Motivates people. You know, opinions are easy. You know, opinions are like, you know, that everybody's got one. But, you know, the last thing I think talk radio needs is another one of those on the radio, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Rush Limbaugh passed away on this day five years ago. It's hard to believe. It's hard to believe. I'm gonna tell you that guy. I have, you know, connection with Rush Limbaugh. And I got out of College in 1989. I was making no money. I was making $18,500 a year, bringing home $487 every two weeks. My rent was 400. My car payment was 400. So I decided I could write comedy. And I started writing comedy for some comedy networks. And I heard about this guy named Rush Limbaugh. I'd been in New York for about a year and so started writing for Rush. And I did Capitol Hill bank and Capitol Hill Post Office and Geriatric Park. Let me go ahead and pull up one here. Let me see if I can pull up an old bit that I did for shows that sound. Would that be fun? You think that'd be fun? Let's do one here. Hold on. Let's do. I don't want to do Capitol Hill Bank. I don't think it's going to sound so good. Let's do X. I'll do Capitol Hill Bank. This is the first bit I did for Rush Limbaugh. It may sound a little muddy. This is the first bid I did for Rush Limbaugh. And now another Capitol Hill bank moment. I'm working behind the counter at the bank when in comes another freshman congressman. He puts that's me 500 into his new checking account. Boy, you should have seen the voice has changed a little look on his face when I told him that 500 in a capital Guild checking account is on. Congressmen never keep that kind of money in the bank. So this kindly teller tells me my $500 is worth 60 to $100,000 in check writing. My friend Bruce Jones privileges. Until that moment, I never realized how much I was going to love living in Washington. Capitol Hill bank for personal service. I like to really get involved with my customers. Why? Once Congressman called me from this big drinking party he was throwing, said he needed some more checks. So I went to his party with a box of checks. Now, this is about 1989, and we found out that the people on Capitol Hill Congress had their own bank and they could withdraw money, take out loans, and never have to pay it back. Yeah, they had a post office, too. I did a thing called Capitol Hill Post Office. Same thing. Have things gotten better? No, they've gotten even more corrupt. Now they're enriching themselves to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars through insider trading and, and, and stealing and just stealing. Yeah, that was, that was 1989 right there, people. Anyway, Rush Limbaugh, you know, was a massive impact on, on us. I like to say he came along at the right place, at the right time with the right skill set, and he changed the world. He changed the world. Here is what here is. I don't want to play this here. Let's do Russia's message about Trump. Our borders are secure. Our families are flourishing. Our values are renewed. Trump loves this country in ways that many people in politics in the past don't, because their view of what America is is a nation among many in the world. President Trump believes in America first. And can you imagine folks being hated and reviled for this? And yet he is. He's hated and reviled for loving America.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
It's between a man who believes America.
Rob Carson
Is good and decent against people who are behind Joe Biden who Think America isn't good. They think America is unjust and immoral from the days of our founding. And they are trying to undermine and transform this country. It's no more complicated than that, folks. If you love this country, if you love America, the America you think exists.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
You don't have a choice in this election. Your only choice is President Trump.
Rob Carson
If you don't support President Trump here.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
You are going to end up facilitating.
Rob Carson
The transformation of America into a country it was never intended to be.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
All we want is for all Americans.
Rob Carson
To be free, to have the opportunity this constitution and country offers everybody.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
We want a healthy and safe future.
Rob Carson
And we love 100%. That was Rush Limbaugh. And, you know, Donald Trump, you know, he could have easily given up being a candidate. You know, they tried to destroy him. They probably put him in jail. He went through campaigning while getting, you know, going through trials and being humiliated, being perp walked, having his residency, you know, raided for the first time in history. Then they tried to take him off the ballot. Then they tried to kill him twice. And he raised his hand in the sky and he said. He raised his fist and he said, fight, fight, fight. And the Democrat Party blamed it for that. The Democrat Party, you can honestly kiss my butt. So frigging done with you, you animalistic, horrid, of awful, wretched. This is what Chris Cuomo was talking about earlier. The 80, 20, the 20% of Democrats who are just evil, those who are battling, and they could easily be taken down. But pivoting back to Rush Limbaugh, you don't know what Rush Limbaugh went through. You're thinking, oh, he just. Rich. He lived in a mansion and all that. Rush Limbaugh, I followed him from day one when he started, and I watched him be attacked for 30 damned years. I saw people go after his advertisers. I saw people go after. When he tried to buy an NFL team, he wanted to buy the St. Louis Rams. And they called him a racist. They called him this and they called him that. And then he was an NFL commentator and he made a comment about a black quarterback. They banned him from the NFL. Rush Limbaugh was not a racist, for God's sake. And then on top of it all, in the middle of it, he went deaf. He went deaf. He could not hear a thing. I remember the week that he was on the air after he had gone deaf, and his voice was weird. It was like. And I had friends say, is there somebody in there who's not rushed? And I said, I don't know. And then I found out he went deaf. And what did he do? He got cochlear implants. And he came back to be stronger than he was ever. The world's first. The country's first deaf talk show host. And not only was a deaf talk show host, he was the greatest talk show host ever. Unbelievable. Look what he overcame while being savaged every single day. And every single day, waking up and saying, I'm a joyful warrior. That's Rush Limbaugh. I like to say I walk in his footsteps, but no one will ever. Will ever fill his shoes. Right time, right place, right skill set, the whole deal. And he changed the.
Guest or Announcer
The world.
Rob Carson
We owe it to him to continue the fight. The left is not done. They're still. You know, we knocked him out a little bit with. With Kamala Harris. We. We expose their absurdity. The woke nonsense, the transgender nonsense, all of that crap. All of the people tearing down statues, all the people tearing them, Tearing down America. All of the people kneeling during the national anthem. All of that nonsense. Burning down our cities. Burning down our cities, trying to burn the St. John's Church right across from the White House. On and on and on. Defund the police. Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense. You think they're beat? They've been beaten? Hell, no.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
No.
Rob Carson
We're in the middle of a war with them. And I've said we're going to overwhelm them with joy and patriotism, but it's also got to be, get your ass out and vote. And it's got to be, no, no, no to redistricting states and taking away your representation. No, no, no. Shut it down. Shut it down. We're going into our 250th year, and the only way we're going to survive another 250 years is unless we change everything. And we're in the throes of it right now. We are the. The reaction to the action. The action was evil. We are the reaction. We are the good. We are patriotism. We are faith. And we're sweeping the world. But first, we got to sweep the people who are trying to end our country out of our country. There you go. I felt like I needed to say that I have a connection with Rush that most people don't. I wanted to fill on his. Fill in on his show, but I had just been a nationally syndicated talk show host for a year when he died, so Premier Radio wouldn't give me a shot. I really wanted to fill in. I really wanted to fill in, but they wouldn't Let me do it. And then they got another team to take over for Rush. But I think the only person in America on the radio who continues the tradition that he espoused and started is me, because I'm the guy who brought comedy to Limbaugh. All those parodies. I mean, Shanklin did a lot of them. I did a lot of them. And he used humor to make a point and he used absurdity to exemplify the absurd and to point out the absurd. And that's what we do here, and that's what makes it so different. And I had a part in that show and that show lives on with my stamp on it. And it's different than anything else that's out there. And I hope you appreciate it because I'm going to tell you right now, brother, I am two minute warning. Fourth quarter of my life and I ain't slowing down. That's why I built this studio. That's why I'm here. You and I went through hell for the last decade and I came to Washington D.C. to drive a stake in the heart of the badness in this city and the corruption in this city using humor, using making a point. Bringing you with me because you're a part of this. You're a part of this. We did this together. We did this. We're here, you're here. Let's win this. How's that sound? Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I have a special guest gift for you on the fifth anniversary of Russia's passing. I'm gonna do that in a second. I think you'll enjoy it. I'll have a story behind it too. I don't want to. Heck that I might as well share on the only. I don't know, I guess I think closest other than most nerdly closest person to you know Russia's legacy on the radio. Yeah, whatever. Whatever it's worth. Gold is at 44, 890 an ounce. That's down substantially. Gold and Sierra Entertainment high volatility regime which means that world events are going to change the price of gold. It's going to go up. Gold holds $5,000 floor as consumer delinquencies reach highest levels just 2017. There's a lot of stuff going on out there, people. There's only one commodity on earth. Gold that thrives during uncertainty. And if you. If you want to get the ball rolling on converting an IRA or 401k to gold, then I would suggest you text my name to Birch Gold at 989-898. I. I transferred my IRA. I got a visit tonight with a representative from Birch. They said, what kind of metal you want, Rob? What kind of metal? I said, I want heavy metal, baby. Gold. Thank you very much. I was raised on heavy metal. First album I heard was Led Zeppelin, then Black Sabbath's Paranoid. I was four. Anyway, so Heavy metal. Gold. Gold. Gold is awesome. Also Silver Kicking butt as well. It's. It's your time to buy because it's down $4,800 an ounce. That's pretty remarkable. So text my name. Rob to 989898. Rob to 989898 for merch cope.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Okay.
Rob Carson
One more thing on Russian, then we'll move on to other stuff. And I think it's worthy of saying this. So I'm this1994ish and I'm working with my friend Rusty Humphries, and he says, rob, I want to do a gospel song about the Rush Limbaugh program, and I want you to write me a gospel choir song about Rush Limbaugh. And I said, okay. No experience. So what I did was I imagined a gospel choir, and I wrote a song about Rush Limbaugh. What I knew about Rush Limbaugh's show, and he got together a group. This was actually a black gospel choir. I believe they're in Dallas, Texas, and got him in the studio, and we did that. This is real. This is real. This is one of my. I've had a lot of proud moments as a comedy writer, but this one meant a lot because it was something I'd never done before. On the eib. Come on here on the day on the eib. Knight to Tara. Bill and Hillary. Come on down. Big talent from God. Thank the Lord. Thank the Lord.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Rush the balls on.
Rob Carson
Rush the ball zone. Thank the Lord. Thank the Lord.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Rush the Mo.
Rob Carson
Rush the Mars on. Rush the Mars on.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Make the love.
Rob Carson
Rush the balls on. Big finish. Here's the big finish. I got to tell you. There you go. That is getting the Rusty Hump. Put that together for me, and I thought you might want to hear it. This fifth anniversary of the passing of the great Rushland Buggy will never be forgot. You know, the greatest thing you can do for somebody to remember them. So there you go. All right. Did you like that? I hope you enjoyed that. I really did. I hope you enjoyed that. All right, let's move on to other stuff. Nick Shirley is out and about. Nick Shirley got a billion views. Exposing corruption in Minnesota. That was Covered up, covered up by Democrat politicians. Billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars. And, and the Democrat party has this thing going on where they, they invited 20 million people across the southern border, loaded them up with free crap and then get them to vote exc Democrat. They did this with people from Somalia. They found a group of people because the Hmong in Minnesota wouldn't play along. The Hmong are hard working people. Hmong, Chinese. And they were like, no, no, no, we don't want to sign our kids up for autism and all this crap. We don't want to open daycare centers. We'll take our kids to daycare, we'll pay for it. But the Somali population had no problem with it because Somalia is a meth lab trailer park on the face of the earth. And so they did it. Then it spread across the country. And the Somalians vote exclusively Democrat and give money exclusively Democrats. And this has been working all over the country. All over the country. And the Democrats say we don't need voter id and the Democrats say that there's no vote theft out there at all. Well, Nick Shirley decided to do kind of what he did in Minnesota and find out where people were being registered to vote.
Guest or Announcer
When it comes to fraud, most people think about money. However, there's another potential massive fraud story taking place in America. One tied to the most consequential system in our country, which is our voting system. This has to do with everything about who runs the country and how elections are actually controlled. And I don't have voter integrity.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Guest or Announcer
What even are we. What is one state that is the breeding ground for potential voting fraud and that is California where it can take up to one month to count all the votes. No voter id. And millions of ballots are cast by mail. Voter rules that are extremely vulnerable to errors, such as over 200 people who are over the age of 125 years old registered to vote in certain areas. And now to see how easy it is to vote, I headed to the location to register to vote inside the.
Rob Carson
State of California and found it was very easy. Here he is discovering that a woman voted, registered her dog and then dead people voting. A Southern California woman is facing five felonies after registering her dog to vote in two elections. The dog's vote was even counted in one of those elections. Those behind the stunt say she did it to show the flaws of the current system. And it worked. Hundreds of people who cast votes according to state records, but we found they've been dead for years, including a woman who died in 1988. And records show she somehow voted in 2014, 26 years after she passed away. Then there's Julita Abooteen. Records show she voted in Norwalk in.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
2014, 2012, 2010 and 2008.
Rob Carson
The only problem is she's buried here at Forest Lawn.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Abutin died in 2006.
Rob Carson
That's a perfect Democrat then. Yeah. Here's Nick going out to a storage shed. There's a storage shed. There's a lot of people in the storage shed living there. Registered to vote and voting.
Guest or Announcer
The fraud continues. Now we're outside of a extra space, a storage unit location. Here. Five people are registered to vote.
Rob Carson
Vote.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Correct.
Guest or Announcer
Did they cast their votes?
Rob Carson
Three of them did in the 24 election. Then we had one in the 2020 election and one that's never voted. Yeah.
Guest or Announcer
The point is that unless this is.
Rob Carson
A primary residence, right. Or where you can sleep, right. Which no one's supposed to buy, law allowed to sleep in their public storage unit. Then this is not a legal registration. And. And these are the things that the county continues to let slip through the cracks. Yeah. Benny Johnson. There were 70 people registered in one location. It was a Porta Potty. I'm not. I'm not kidding. I wish I were.
Guest or Announcer
This building here in downtown San Diego, there's over 16 people who are registered to vote.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Guest or Announcer
At this address right here. Would it surprise you if inside of this building alone there's 15 people registered to vote?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Yeah.
Guest or Announcer
All the windows are boarded up.
Rob Carson
Oh. One of the business was Duckett's, and I never saw anybody go in or out of there.
Guest or Announcer
Fifteen people are registered to vote. A lot of them voted in the 2024 election.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
What doesn't surprise me, this is. This is Commifornia for a reason.
Guest or Announcer
Do you think voter fraud takes place here in California?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
100%.
Guest or Announcer
And do you trust Gavin Newsom?
Rob Carson
No, of course not. Of course not. And I would venture to say I doubt that he escaped that recall boat. I bet you the people of California wanted his rear end out as a governor. But I bet he rigged that, too. Yeah, that's my opinion. I can say that now. It's not 2020 where I could be censored. Of course, there's rampant voter fraud as much as there is welfare fraud in Democrat states around the country. And it's gotta end. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Yes. Whoa.

Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Recently in Moscow and expectations are very high for a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
Rob Carson
Of course, with the backing of the United States. Now the Russians have extended the olive branch to the United States and have.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Their demands regarding the conflict with Ukraine.
Rob Carson
So that it doesn't continue to be this festering, long, protracted conflict on the.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
European continent, which has a potential to.
Rob Carson
Suck in American military men and women in uniform in a conflict down the line.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
So what Zelensky is really trying to do here is he's trying to renege on the agreement that the Trump administration.
Rob Carson
Has signed regarding the minerals in the.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Western portion of Ukraine. He's basically saying, you know, that was a good agreement.
Rob Carson
But, you know, of course we're not, we're not ready to implement the agreement unless we have these security guarantees.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Now, we can't forget that Ukraine is not a member of NATO.
Rob Carson
It's not an EU member. That is George Papadopoulos talking to Steve Bannon about possibility of peace in Ukraine. He went on to say that had Kamala Harris been able to become the president, that we would probably have troops on the ground in Ukraine. And I don't doubt that at all. I don't doubt that at all. Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer joins us. Project sentinel.com welcome to the show, my friend. How are you in this glorious Tuesday?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Hey, Rob, always great to join. I'm doing well.
Rob Carson
What'd you think about that, man? What's going on with Ukraine?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Have you heard anything so Well, I think that it's very clear that George reflects what President Trump wants and others want is kind of a practical end to the war. And for people who have made agreements Both sides, Russia and Ukraine, to abide by what they've agreed upon regarding framework. What is it right now, obviously, is a continued war and potential expansion. I agree. If the Democrats won, we would have probably had Nat involved. With that said, we're not. And we're trying to back out, and we're trying to back out in such a way that there will be an enduring peace that will allow prosperity and for goodness sake, for Ukraine to recover. Rob, one of the things that people continue to miss, which I think is tragic, is the loss of males as a percentage of the population in Ukraine. I mean, we're talking about a country that went from basically 30 million, and by the time we're done with this to 15 million, they will cease to exist as a civilized nation at the current rate they're going because they simply don't understand there is no military solution. The eu, the Europeans continue to go to them, say, oh, yeah, no, no, no, you can win, you can win. And they're simply doing it, The Europeans, because they benefit financially from the war continuing. And that's where Zelenskyy needs to wise up and stop listening to them.
Rob Carson
How much of the aid that we sent them, over $200 billion, do you suppose ended up on the Riviera in boats and luxury cars?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Well, I think you're going to find, and I think there's going to be an audit of this, about one quarter went to pure corruption, just people doing the things you're talking about there. Another quarter went to enrich EU and the EU nations who have prompted and continued the war. And so, at best, at best, maybe half went to the cause of the war. And Even that, Rob, 25% of that came back to heat. Here's the United States.
Rob Carson
What a bloody waste.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Politicians benefited from it. Yeah. So probably need 25% of that. Yeah, it's that nuts.
Rob Carson
What cost human life. We want to get to the point where Donald Trump is turning the page on this to some degree. We're not doing this under his watch. He's very deliberate about what he's doing. He's being very, very almost, almost so cautious with Iran. I'm kind of, kind of, come on, you know, do something about the Ayatollah. But, but he, he's not going to get us into another superior story. He's not going to put us in 20 years in Afghanistan and then withdraw us, you know, unceremoniously to mark a day and, and just destroy the, the legacy, destroy all of the bl and suffering. I mean, he doesn't want that to happen again. I think that's amazing.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Yeah. So I think so. President Trump has watched multiple presidents from both political parties fail miserably in nation building. And so I think we can all agree, we who are sane, you don't have to be MAGA to be sane. You have to be someone who understands that there are ways to do things which will not require the United States to invest massive amounts of blood and treasure, especially our youth, into these fruitless, unwinnable wars, by the way. Wars which we entered into knowing we didn't want to win. It's insane. So President Trump, if he sets up an objective, he's going to accomplish an objective without a lot of loss or waste.
Rob Carson
Yeah. So we've got another aircraft carrier over in the Middle East. We've got, we got 100 plus C17s. We got Donald Trump meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu last week. Do you think the trigger's already been pulled? Because the Iranians are still being belligerent. They're saying you can have a dozen aircraft carriers. We would love to give up. Do you think the trigger's already been pulled? And it's just kind of like getting things strategically placed to knock them out.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
So I think the Israelis would like to see a completely demilitarized, incapable Iran and capable of conducting any military operations or proxy operations. Absolutely. And I agree with their sentiment. Iran is developing weapons such as a new hypersonic missile that could probably defeat the Iron Dome. So I get it. With that said, Rob, we don't want to see a failed Iran. This is, you know, we saw Libya fail because of us. We saw Syria fail because of us. We saw Iraq fail because of us, because of these, you know, okay, we're going to take military action without a plan to settle it after. So we can't just take military action and cause the fall of Iran because there are potentially weapons of mass destruction that could go loose and who knows where they're going to go?
Rob Carson
Plus, that's why we're taking so much time, Tony. Don't you think that's why he's being so deliberate?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Exactly. And 92 million people, it's a big country, and so we want to be deliberate. So you have to walk a fine line. We don't. We want to cause the collapse, but we don't want to see the government fall into chaos. And that's. So it's a very fine line.
Rob Carson
So the second international conference, this time, the Munich Security Conference, follows up on Davos, where the Democrat Party went over and acted like Complete children. I think next year they should have it at Chuck E. Cheese and just have the Democrats go there. I mean, how idiotic and how terrible do do the Democrats look? And also, what other countries in the world invite governors and opposing party candidates to come over and bad mouth the country and its president?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
That was the Europeans. They set this up to have the confrontation, which they did. So it's fine they did it. But I mean, to your point, Ocasio Cortez showed that she has the intelligence of Styrofoam. I mean, and then Oompa Loompa, Governor Whitmer goes over there and shows to be equally kind of like, can I use the word dense?
Rob Carson
Oh, yeah.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
And then, and then Governor, Governor Newsom, you know, who basically, I think he was great in American Cycle, by the way. That was great. Anyway, he goes over there and calls ice Nazis in Germany. Do you understand where you're standing?
Rob Carson
He called the National Guard, dude. He called the National Guard Nazis, bro. Yeah, he called the net. He called our soldiers Nazis. What a bastard. I mean, honestly.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Yeah, so it's not a good reflection on that. But by the way, Rubio did a masterful job. I just listened to his speech in preparation for interview, and he was like a coach going into the locker room during halftime and telling the team, you need to do better and we're going to lead you. And that's, that's exactly how that speech sounded. It was brilliant.
Rob Carson
Can we, can we continue the conversation on the other side of the break? I want to ask you if what Rubio said and Donald Trump, what he's doing is really resonating with the Europeans. It did in Davos. I want to see what do you suppose is going to come out of this latest conference? Take a break and come back. Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer, Project Sentinel.com, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you is all the real stories like Sandra's. She tells us. I'd been hearing about Relief Factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words and it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how relief factor could be a game changer too. Call 804 RELIEF, that's 804 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Our first colonies were built by English settlers to whom we owe not just the language we speak, but the whole of our political and legal system. Our frontiers were shaped by Scots Irish. That gave us Davy Crockett and Mark Twain and Teddy Roosevelt and Neil Armstrong. Our great midwestern heartland was built by German farmers and craftsmen.
Rob Carson
Oh yeah.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Who transformed empty plains into a global agricultural powerhouse.

That's actually my family history. I found out my biological family. They lived all in southwest Iowa. They're all Germans. The gets. And they came here after the turn of the 20th century. So they have their own slaves there. Tony Shaver. But they tilled the soil and fed the nation and I thought that was a really great way to tie in our connection to Europe and England. I thought that was absolutely amazing. Masterclass.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Yeah. And speaking of Spain, for example, my, my family, my great grandparents came over on the Lusitania from Spain in 1910 and they went to the middle of Kansas to a. A cop copper smelter and worked in some of the most harsh conditions to become American. So that is crazy. He made. Yeah, it is. So I'm saying. And like he said, we all came from different places, our families did and yet we're here as Americans. And oh, by the way, Christopher Columbus did actually bring horses over. Just.
Rob Carson
Yeah, I know. My God.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
So this was an amazing reminder of how Europe provided the DNA for our greatness. Think about that.
Rob Carson
And it took us and it took us. And I would play this a bit from Rush Limbaugh a little while ago because he, five years ago he passed away and he said it was that the reason why we were able to do this is because we said that our rights came from God and we said that we had the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And look what changed. Look what happened. Paris and London had been around for 1500 years. They were still crapping in the street when Ben Franklin hung a key on a kite string and discovered electricity.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
So, and that's the thing. So Western civilization has been, I think the greatest force of good on the planet. So is the United States. So when I hear this anti left, anti American rhetoric from the American left like AOC and others, they, they, they basically undermine their credibility by the fact that they, they ignore the Results of this. Are we perfect? No, there, there is always issues that, that come with progress, some imperfections, but for the most part I think the way Marco Rubio laid it out, talked about the fact that we need to get back on task and make the world move forward in a positive way. And this whole idea of mass migration importing hate, discontent and death is not a good idea. And I think he made that point and I'd like to believe the Europeans will follow our lead.
Rob Carson
Now on the other side of the equation is aoc. Who wouldn't place in a class B model United nations junior high meet would and should the US actually commit US.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move? You know, I think that this is such a.
Rob Carson
You know, I think that this is a. Okay. Honestly. Wow. But you know, there are some people who are so friggin stupid. Like there was this idiot panelist and she's like cute and chuckly and she goes are you going to impose a billionaires tax in the crowd, like in the crowd from the Hunger Games all clap their little hands and all of that. But you know, we live in a cruel world, Tony. You know, more this than anybody. And that kind of person cannot be in charge of our country.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
No. And that's, and that's the frightening thing is, yeah, we have a system that's open to allow anybody to, you know, kind of rise to the top. With that said, this indicates that she's not competent or able to do it. I mean, let's be clear here. I went to a model United Nations, Robin 1978, in the hay as a high school student. I'm not joking. And by the way, we could drink a lot of beer back in those days too. Just back to the story. We, we literally. I had to play Angola and we had to get into character and understand things. And you learned things. And so even high schoolers literally are smarter than AOC on basic issues of geography and national security. And so remember, she's being prompted. She had a script apparently she didn't study given to her by the Deep State. The Deep State's behind all of this. I hate to sound paranoid, but it's true.
Rob Carson
Oh no.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
So they were trying to put her up as one of the potential leads. I don't know if it's going to be Gavin or her, but they're trying to posture one of them to be the next president. And so it failed. And I just hope people don't forget how badly this failed and how stupid she was. A party look on the Global stage.
Rob Carson
She the only. When she was a bartender, the only drink she could make were things that were spelled out like gin and tonic and Jack and Coke because she couldn't do the complicated stuff. Honestly, it is embarrassing. You know, we are adults. We've allowed our society to become infantilized. Thank God we got Donald Trump in office. Thank God we got a defense secretary who says, you're not gonna wear a skirt and be a man. And, you know, we have a lot of serious issues in our country, and I think they really expose themselves as just a bunch of children on the international stage, and I think it bodes well for us. You know, I think we're all getting tired of these children in charge, these adult children in charge of who don't know what the hell they're doing. You know, New York City's around Mandami. It's like Lord of the Rings meets. Or Lord of the Flies meets Animal Farm. And. And I think we're getting close to being dominant.
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Before we go, I think I have an idea to help solve the UN Problem and the Mandami problem.
Rob Carson
What's that?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Have the UN and bring in all the homeless, Put them in the UN and then have the homeless make really cool restaurants out of all the different nations. I think it's a win.
Rob Carson
Win. Yeah. See what they can make with SNAP benefits. All right, Tony Shaver. Thanks, brother. Appreciate you. Obviously, Project Sentinel.com anywhere else people can find your glorious work?
Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
Yeah, just t spooky on X. Follow me there. Thanks, Rob.
Rob Carson
All right, brother. We'll talk soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is the Rob Carson Show. I was going to cover the. The transgender father, Robert Dorgan, murdered several people, gunned down several family members. Complete nut. Robert Dorgan, 56, shot four family members at a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket Ice rink. When are we going to acknowledge that men who dress up like women and try to be women are mentally ill? Mentally mentally ill. And this guy was broadcasting it all over the web. And it is a damned shame that people had to die. He bizarrely claimed that his. His in law threatened to have him murdered by the Asian street gang if he did not move out of his residence. I mean, the. The ex wife divorced him in 2020 on grounds of gender reassignment surgery. Narcissistic personality disorder, according to the court filing obtained by the local outlet. The. The reasoning was later replaced with irreconcilable irreconcilable differences, all of it. He was nut bag. It was completely out of his friggin mind. Because if you think you can become a woman as a man, you spend your entire life as a man. Sorry, but you know, the left tried to convince you. No, no, no, no, it's perfectly fine. It's, you know, you should be, you should be tolerant. LGBTQIA plus, you see all of that nonsense, all of that nonsense. Oh, by the way, you know, I go to Whole Foods. I know you're thinking, oh, Whole Foods. Look at Rob, you're such a snob. No, no, I never shopped at Whole Foods before, but there's a Whole Foods near my house and in the morning they, they cut the price in half of like a lot of the deli stuff and the fruit. They cut the price in half. So I get yellow stickers like I do at Walmart. So I never buy whole price at Whole Foods. I go over to Whole Foods, right? And I go to Whole Foods and I get, and there, you know, you got to enter each one. 50% off interest, total pain in the butt. But I buy stuff half price there. And then they got a. The homeless shelter comes by and they load up trailers full of food when it's expired. It's, you know, they do a pretty good job. Whole Foods scraps a dystopian payment method after fury from customers. There was a thing where you could actually use your Palm. You could use your Palm to pay. It's called Palm Pay. Like, you know the city in, in Italy that was buried by Mount Vesuvius, except for that's Pompeii and Herculaneum. 500 grocery stores across the country, they were doing this thing called Palm Pay. Customers expressed a fury on Reddit said declaring bleep, no, not giving big brother my biometrics as they expressed fear over the company having their data. Why did they ever think this was a good idea? They asked me, are you going to use Palm Pay? I said, no, I'm going to use card pay. Okay, Card pay or phone pay? Phone pay is bad enough. Palm pay. Why don't you just scan my retinas for God's sake? Are you out of your mind? I'm just buying half price fruit that's about to go bad. You think I'm going to use. Let you have my biometric data so I can have a salad that's starting to turn a little bit. Are you nuts? No. Palm Pay. What? What the what? We are entering a brave new era. It is a weird era. You and I, Gen Xers, we're going to be taking care of robots by robots in our old age. I'm not screwing around. It's happening. Elon Musk is going to do it. You're going to have a robot in your house and it's going to be cool because your kids never call and won't come and visit you. It's alright. You can hang out with Hal. Just hope Hal doesn't lock you out of the house. That'll be the only thing that's bad if Hal locks you out of the house. Alright guys, that's going to do it today. Thank you for watching me. Make sure to check out the podcast. Go to all of your usual podcast platforms. Look up Rob Carson show. The tribute to Russia was big today. I think you'll enjoy that. God bless you, America's founder. What Donald Trump is doing to make America better than ever in our 250th year. And until tomorrow, which is Wednesday, don't catch the stupid. I love you guys.
Episode: Fight, Fight, Laugh: The Rush Legacy Lives On
Date: February 17, 2026
Host: Rob Carson (Newsmax Radio)
Guest: Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer
This episode, broadcast on the fifth anniversary of Rush Limbaugh’s passing, weaves together personal reflections, political commentary, and cultural discussions. Rob Carson, who wrote comedy for Rush for over 20 years, pays tribute to Limbaugh’s influence on talk radio and conservative activism. The episode mixes humor and serious analysis of current political issues, voter fraud, war in Ukraine, the state of the American left, and media narratives, with guest insights from Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer.
“Rush Limbaugh was not a racist, for God's sake. And then on top of it all, in the middle of it, he went deaf… What did he do? He got cochlear implants… The country's first deaf talk show host. And not only was a deaf talk show host, he was the greatest talk show host ever.” (07:03)
“Every single day, waking up and saying, I’m a joyful warrior. That’s Rush Limbaugh.” (07:20)
“He used humor to make a point and he used absurdity to exemplify the absurd and to point out the absurd. And that's what we do here…” (10:38)
“A Southern California woman is facing five felonies after registering her dog to vote in two elections. The dog's vote was even counted in one...” (17:53, Rob Carson) “Hundreds of people who cast votes...we found they've been dead for years...” (18:18, Rob Carson)
“There are ways to do things which will not require the United States to invest massive amounts of blood and treasure, especially our youth, into these fruitless, unwinnable wars…” (26:02, Schaefer)
“I think there's going to be an audit of this, about one quarter went to pure corruption...Another quarter went to enrich EU...At best, maybe half went to the cause of the war.” (24:40, Schaefer)
“We don't want to see a failed Iran...because there are potentially weapons of mass destruction that could go loose…” (27:09, Schaefer)
“Next year they should have it at Chuck E. Cheese and just have the Democrats go there.” (28:22, Carson) “Ocasio Cortez showed she has the intelligence of Styrofoam… Governor Newsom...he was great in American Psycho, by the way.” (29:15, Schaefer)
“This was an amazing reminder of how Europe provided the DNA for our greatness.” (32:38, Schaefer)
“Even high schoolers literally are smarter than AOC on basic issues of geography and national security.” (35:53, Schaefer)
“Why don't you just scan my retinas for God's sake? ...I’m just buying half price fruit that’s about to go bad. You think I’m going to let you have my biometric data?” (37:32–38:50)
Rob Carson’s tone is energetic, direct, irreverent, and frequently humorous, marked by satirical jabs at political opponents, personal anecdotes, and a clear desire to motivate and energize listeners. He freely uses colloquial language and comedic exaggeration, reinforcing his show’s blend of entertainment and commentary.
This episode is a passionate homage to Rush Limbaugh’s enduring influence on American media and conservative activism, interlaced with lampooning of progressive politics, deep skepticism about election security, and a robust endorsement of patriotism as a solution to current challenges. Rob Carson’s comedic sensibility shapes the episode, even as he navigates weighty topics like war, governance, and cultural identity. With substantive contributions from guest Tony Schaefer, the discussion offers conservative perspectives on ongoing national and international debates, all with a spirit of “fight, fight, laugh”—honoring the Limbaugh legacy by both entertaining and mobilizing.
