Rob Carson
US Women's hockey. Go, baby. Come on. I gotta tell you, that was something to watch yesterday. That was really something else to watch. You thought I was going to start with the Supreme Court decision, didn't you? Yeah, yeah, I want to get to that in a second. But you know what? There's a battle plan for that. I'll explain in a second. But I want to congratulate the US women's hockey team. 100% penis free, by the way. I think that's fantastic. No men on that team. No, no women born men. They are women. They've spent their entire life training for this. And they came and they saw and they kicked some serious butt. And yesterday I saw at the Olympics something glorious. And that was people with tears in their eyes when the national anthem played. It was really something to watch. And I watched some, you know, videos about some of the players yesterday. And I had tears in my eyes. Oh, you know what? And I was kind of missing that. I was kind of missing that. Been missing that for a while with the Olympics. But yesterday that was really something. It was something to behold. The men's team, they still got another game to play. And then they might be playing with Canada as well in the final. We'll see what happens. But I thought it was pretty cool. Then this little girl named Alyssa Liu, who's just. I mean, spectacular. She's. Her father escaped China in 1989 after Tiananmen Square came here, and she became the first woman to win figure skating gold medal in 24 years from America. And she is a doll. Listen to her talk.
- [02:53]
Maria Bartiromo
Take us through the range of emotions of this.
- [02:56]
Rob Carson
She just. Jo Joyful. She goes out there on the field. She doesn't get. She didn't get nervous when she skates. She just experiences joy. She loves doing it.
- [03:03]
Maria Bartiromo
Wild night. I mean, my performance was just everything I wanted.
- [03:08]
Rob Carson
And I'm so happy that I got the chance to be on Olympic stage again and show off what I have made for myself, I guess. And I just hope that this inspires other people.
- [03:19]
Maria Bartiromo
And I don't know, I'm just really
- [03:22]
Rob Carson
grateful for this moment. And I do wish that this free skate never ended. I really like the energy I had in it.
- [03:28]
Maria Bartiromo
And I don't know, it was such a vibe.
- [03:31]
Rob Carson
She was a very positive person, very joyful. She's my daughter's age, by the way. You know, you get to that age in your life where, you know, people are old enough to be your daughter, it's kind of cool. I thought that was really. I thought that was really something else. Really, really did. And I'm very proud of the. The team. Been very proud of some of the performances. It's. It's been. It's been pretty cool. And in the US Olympic men's team, I had. But I wanted to use from them here. Let's see if I can find it real quick. Yeah. Quinn Hughes. This is Quinn Hughes of the US Men's hockey team. He says he's proud to play for America. Hell of a game out there. You took down the game winner. I mean, what did that feel like?
- [04:08]
Tony Kennett
Yeah, just a relief. Just really enjoying being here with this group and the guys and trying to extend it as long as I can.
- [04:15]
Rob Carson
Right on. And then USA flags all over the place. You could hear the chants. What's that atmosphere like? Yeah, it's special.
- [04:20]
Tony Kennett
I mean, you know, I love the US and greatest country in the world. So happy to represent it here with you.
- [04:29]
Rob Carson
That's fantastic. He didn't even say he's pansexual, bisexual, whatever the hell he just said. He loves America. Oh, my God. That's kind of amazing, right? Holy hell. It's like, you know, maybe this is the 250th year of our birth, and maybe some people are acropatriotic. And all that crap about kneeling during the national anthem and all of that, you know, nonsense about being pan. Gender, pansexual, whatever the hell you are, it doesn't really matter. That was kind of. I thought that was kind of cool. I wanted to open the show with that today because, you know, the last hour or so, we learned that the Supreme Court has struck down Trump's tariffs. And, you know, originally when it hit me, I was like, I said some things that I normally reserve for when I put together IKEA furniture. It was not, it was not pleasant. I'm glad I was off the air. That said, not a big surprise. Here's, here's the thing. I'll share some audio here in a second from people who know much better about this than I do, because you kind of have to, I won't say, well, you have to kind of become a semi expert on stuff in a big hurry when you do this job. I'm not going to claim to be an expert on this. I'm just going to say I've learned a few things and I've took a deep breath and I've gone, okay, all right. Okay, all right, all right. You realize what it took for us to get here? It took four years of Donald Trump being pummeled. 97% negative press coverage, two impeachments, one after he left office, an unprecedented raid of his home. Okay? There were frivolous lawsuits launched against him to try to put him in jail. None of them failed. But he had to sit in the courtroom while he was also campaigning for president. They tried to take his fortune. They tried to put him in jail for 700 years. And then twice they tried to kill him. One time, a bullet hit his ear. He turned his head and saved his life by millimeters. And he stood up and he shook his fist in the air and said, fight, fight, fight. No world leader has ever said that after an attempted assassination. So here's the deal. Are you ready to do the same thing? Are you ready to fight, fight, fight. Because the other side has been in a civil war with us for a decade now. They want 2020 again. The shutdown of the government sea blocked the economy a good deal in the fourth quarter. The Democrat Party doesn't care how much suffering they, they put on us. They don't care. They didn't care for four years when they opened the southern border and said nothing about it. As millions of illegals unvetted for disease or criminality came into our country, hundreds of thousands of Americans died of fentanyl Poisoning. Hundreds of thousands of children were trafficked and women were trafficked for sex, for labor. The Democrat Party doesn't care if they burn the country down. So we have to fight, fight, fight. We're going to lose some battles. This I wouldn't consider a major battle because there are other avenues. But this Democrat Party is going to become increasingly desperate, increasingly violent as this year continues into the midterms. And you'd better be ready for it. I think you are. But I'm going to tell you, there is no not voting in the midterms. You are going to have to get off of your rear end, and you're going to have to get up now and get involved. Not waiting on Scott Pressler, not waiting on others. You and me got to do something about this, because we are in a war with a very vicious enemy that has burned its way across our country for years. They caused billions of dollars in damage in 2020. No one has ever apologized for it. Nobody ever said stop. And they want to do it again. Donald Trump stopped it from happening in Los Angeles. Donald Trump stopped it from happening in Minneapolis. But make no bones about it, the same people who suddenly said that Elon Musk is a Nazi and started damaging people's cars and firebombing car dealerships, they are still there. So this may be a setback. It's not a lost battle, but it is a setback. But I'm gonna tell you again, what I'm gonna do is overwhelm them with joy and patriotism, okay? And I want you to do the same thing. But you've got to be involved. We've got to save our republic. They are dying like movie vampires and they're getting incre. Desperate. Don't believe me. They don't want voter id. They say it's because black people are too stupid or are criminals, and so they can't get them. And they also say women can't get them because when they change their name during marriage, they have no way to change it back. That's desperation. That's insanity. But that's your Democrat Party. And the reason being is they're losing their ways to cheat. They're losing. They're being exposed for their corruption, they're being exposed for their. Their theft, they're being exposed for their voter fraud. All of these things. And the more they get exposed, the more desperate they become. That's just the way it is. You know it and I don't. We didn't waste all this time, all this stress, all of this censorship. All of this nonsense. They have seasoned us. They've made us stronger and we're going to win this. They're intellectually and morally bankrupt. They have nothing good to add to the conversation. They have no plan for the future. They have no tax plan, no business plan, no nothing. Have you heard them say anything about the Democrat plan for economic success in America? No. What have they been saying for the last year and three months or whatever? Anti Trump, do everything against Donald Trump, be the opposite of Donald Trump no matter how good it is. Closing down the southern border, going after narco terrorists, getting Maduro bombing the Iran nuclear sites, all of this stuff. All of this stuff. They are only contrarian. That won't end well for them. But we've got to fight back. There you go. Yeah, yeah. So I got some, you know, details on this Supreme Court laws today. It's okay. Listen, they've got other plans. I'll share that on the other side of the break. All right. We got our unusual suspects on the show today. Tony Kenneth's going to join us at the bottom of the hour. Mary Walter is going to join us next hour. If you want to chime in. 892-266-80. This, my friends, was a glorious Friday on the Rob Carson Show.

Tony Kennett
The administration is other tools in its toolbox. It can actually impose tariffs under other statutes.
- [11:52]
Rob Carson
So this night is is hardly over for the That's Jonathan Turley who was trending on Twitter concerning the the Supreme Court striking down Trump's tariffs. The ruling is a massive loss for Trump tariffs in his asserted power to impose them on any country at any time without congressional input, a central feature of his administration's economic foreign policy. Reason we got to do they've got a number of things they're going to do, but we've got to win the midterms, get both houses of Congress and then we'll just make them pass them through Congress. How's that sound? I think it sounds like a pretty good idea. I think it sounds like a pretty gosh darn good idea. Here's Maria Bartiromo of FOX talking about the possibilities.
- [12:30]
Maria Bartiromo
I have to say I think that in many corners of the White House, this was expected, even though they have been saying repeatedly we think this is going our way. They have been planning and looking at ways to actually raise revenue to replace the lost revenue. So they do have some ways to do that. If the president were to look at section 338 of the Tariff act of 1930 as well as section 122 of the Tariff act of 1930. Now, what section 338 does is it allows the President to make a finding that if country is discriminating against the United States, he can apply up to 50% additional duty on goods from that country. As far as Section 122, the President can impose tariffs with a maximum rate of 15% for up to 150 days to address, quote, large and serious balance of payments deficits. Now, if he were to use section 122 and they were imposed at a 15% rate with the same exemptions that were used under IPA, that would actually replace 75% of the lost revenue.
- [13:51]
Rob Carson
So you're going around this thing called ipa, iepa and you right now quite simply being able to get the 75% of what Donald Trump is trying to do with the tariffs in the first place, which by the way, have brought in hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue and leveled the playing field with other countries. Also, it has been used to bring peace between warring countries like India and Pakistan. The terrorists were used for that. John Roberts, you ass. Pardon me. Did I let that slip out? Yeah, I let that slip out. SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas dropped straight truth bombs. It is dissent. Congress authorized the President to regulate importation. Throughout American history, the authority regulate importation has been understood on to include the authority to impose duties on imports. The meaning of that phrase was beyond doubt by the time that Congress enacted this statute. Shortly after President President Nixey's highly publicized duties on imports were upheld based on identical language. The statute that the President relied on therefore authorized him to impose these duties on imports. At issue in these cases, the Democrat party has always tried to c block the American economy. They have caused all of our manufacturing to be offshored with their piss poor, I'll just say piss poor economic policies. Donald Trump is bringing it here and he's used these tariffs for more things than just raising revenue. Again, he's used this to bring peace around the world. He's used them as a, as chess pieces in a, in his 3D chess game to bring peace and prosperity to, to the country and the world. Apparently there are also alternatives, I don't know these, such as Section 232 for National Security, Section 301, Unfair Trade Practices, which obviously we have been subject to. But you know what, we've been be slapped by the rest of the world for a very long time. When Donald Trump took office, we were, we were carrying NATO and Donald Trump. You got to contribute like 5% of your GDP to your own Dang defense or we're done. And guess what? They capitulated. You know, you had Chinese and Russian warships circling Greenland and trying to overtake the seaways up there. Donald Trump said, no, no, no, no, no, no, it ain't going to happen. We are going to take over Greenland and it's going to be under our auspices. We're going to end this nonsense right now. And what did, what did you, what did Europe do? They threw a hissy fit. Denmark threw a hissy fit and then they ended up backing down. So there you go. There you go. Donald Trump will be able to get what he wants done. Done. It's just occasionally he's going to have stuff thrown in his way because he's got a lot of people who are trying to take him down. They hate the fact that we have somebody in office who's doing what we asked him to do. They hate that their gravy train is running out. The massive, massive amounts of trillions of dollars of graft and CR corruption. They increase the size of government. I was thinking about this today. Every major spending bill the last 15, 16 years has evaporated, has been stolen. All right, you got the increase of the Federal Government with COVID 40% increase the government size. And all of it disappeared into the ether. All of it was looted from the treasury. You had the major infrastructure bill that Barack Obama passed, $787 billion. You know what he said a year after that passed? He goes, I guess the projects weren't shovel ready. And I said, if a Democrat says they're going to fix something, you better have your shovel ready every time they pass a major spending bill. Obamacare. Obamacare is a scam. Obamacare is nothing more than an opportunity to loot our Treasury. I've got a story on it. I'll share here shortly on the show. But every major spending bill, this is why I told you that they never fix anything. Joe Biden was in Washington D.C. for 50 years. The same thing he campaigned on are still broken today. Infrastructure, schools. Schools gotten worse. The va, Social Security is still bankrupt. Do you know why? Because they never tried to fix them. They just looted the money. There you go. And now they're getting exposed. So they're dying like movie vampires. Yeah. Here's another report on the tariffs.
- [18:10]
Maria Bartiromo
I have to say I think that in many.
- [18:12]
Rob Carson
That's not what I was looking for. I was looking for this one. That's Maria Bartiromo.
- [18:15]
Jonathan Turley
So today was going to be the fate of whether or not Trump, Trump's IPA tariffs which about 60 to 75% of the tariff policy right now in the United States is based off of. In the Supreme Court making this decision. A red hat across the Bloomberg Terminal, Trump's global tariffs are struck down by the U.S. supreme Court. So this means that the Supreme Court has decided that using ipa, which this administration has done, when it comes to the fentanyl tariffs and it comes to reciprocal tariffs for other countries, using IPA is illegal. Now, given that we are in the financial community, a lot of people may be thinking, does this mean we will not have tariffs?
- [18:47]
Rob Carson
Tariffs?
- [18:48]
Jonathan Turley
That is not the case. This administration has talked about Plan B. Now they're going to enact tariffs using other policies. Democrats love Plan B via USTR and the Commerce Department, but using ipa. The Supreme Court is saying that this was illegal. Very interesting, considering how they've been using these tariff refunds. And also, the president is going to give a massive address next week. It's the State of the Union. A lot of Supreme Court justices go to the State of the Union. You can imagine this is going to be an incredibly difficult time for this president, considering this was paramount, a huge policy.
- [19:23]
Rob Carson
You know what? You just do it in. Run. You can. You find another way to do it. That's what you gotta do. That's what they're gonna do. You. You kind of expect this. This is. This is what you expect, because the left is at war with us. There you go. That's all you need to know. It's all you need to know. It's been a war going on now for, you know, 10 years. So is this a big surprise? No, not a big surprise at all. Shouldn't be a surprise to you. And trust me, they have a whole lot of other arrows in their quiver. So don't get too freaked out about it, okay? Honestly, stay positive. When you are battling for the life of the country and the future of the country, you may lose a battle, all right? You may. You may lose a skirmish, but you got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, lift your. Your fist to the sky and say, fight, fight, fight. We got a guy in the White House who took a bullet for us, and he decided he was going to stay in it despite all of the things that were thrown at him. We owe it to him, and we owe it to our country in its 250th year to fight. There you go. Stay positive. Come on, people. All right? The Bears are leaving Chicago. You know why? Because Chicago sucks. Because of Democrat politics. They're going to Indiana, for God's sake. We got Indiana native Tony Kennett for the Daily Signal. Coming up next. Don't go anywhere. 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've 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 worse than it try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer too. Call 800 for relief, that's 804 relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain?
- [21:40]
Maria Bartiromo
I have to say I think that in many corners of the White House this was expected. Even though they have been saying repeatedly we think this is going our way, they have been planning and looking at ways to actually raise revenue to replace the lost revenue. So they do have some ways to do that. If the president were to look at section 338 of the Tariff act of
- [22:05]
Rob Carson
19 other options for the, for the tariff revenue, not a big surprise. Certainly, you know, the way you want to start your day. But you know what? I'm not, I'm not going to get that because the left has waged war against us for about a decade now and we now realize how serious things are. Right? I mean, we do, we do go into this midterm regardless. I want to hear what Tony Cannon has to say about it. Who would have thought that Indiana, the state of Indiana, would be home to two NFL franchises? My God, what a day.
- [22:38]
Tony Kennett
I mean, I'm still upset they haven't renamed the team the Gare Bears and Gary, I guess Hammond is the Indiana Bear. Whatever. We'll find out out.
- [22:48]
Rob Carson
Are they going to call them, are they going to change it from the Chicago Bears? Are they going to call them the whatever Bears? I don't even know.
- [22:53]
Tony Kennett
I'm sure they'll probably still end up calling them the Chicago Bears, although there's a lot of anger and argument from some of the folks out in California that no one has ever let them, whenever a team moves out there, make up their own name or choose a name. So it'll be interesting. I will see kind of what happens with it.
- [23:09]
Rob Carson
But they, them Bears, I think, is what it would be.
- [23:13]
Tony Kennett
Oh, I like it. I say create a new town and then make it something so that like, I don't know, like the bear nakeds or something. I don't know.
- [23:22]
Rob Carson
You could do it. Stop it. Just stop it. So anyway, well, you know, so I guess, I guess Indiana's gonna have the Bears. So there you go. That's, it's kind of cool. You got, you got two NFL friends. You know, this is, this, honestly, is it a big surprise? You've got so many people leaving states of Illinois, states of California, states of New York, and of course, the. Listen, that happened to Kansas City. Kansas City, Missouri lost the Chiefs. You know why? Because Kansas City sucks and it's run by Democrats. Du. This is not a surprise. Yeah.
- [23:53]
Tony Kennett
I really enjoy watching people like Brandon Johnson, mayor of Chicago, get up in front of everyone and throw essentially a toddler fit. He can't understand why things turned out the way that they did. You've got. And I'll, I'll be that guy. Some similar attitudes from some people today on the tariff stuff. That's really weird. A lot of people pretending they didn't know what was going to happen. And I'm a little confused.
- [24:14]
Rob Carson
Yeah. So what, what did you have to say about it? I saw it this morning. I think I was hoping against so many things that this, this was going to skate through. I knew that there were a lot of issues with it when it happened. It was, you know, kind of a, I don't know, for, for a few minutes it was a little kick in the teeth. But then I realized, no, no, no, they've had everything thrown at them. Donald Trump has had everything thrown at him. And I'm sure they've got a myriad number of ways they can go at this.
- [24:42]
Tony Kennett
So two things. Number one, there is a very big difference here between Scott Besant economic policy and Howard Lutnick economic policy. Howard Lutnick got out there and said, you tariff everything. Tariffs are great. Tariff, tariff, tariff, tariff, tariff. And we can do whatever we want and no one will ever question it. That's stupid. And that's not how it works. Again, I trust the president on a lot of things, but, and especially when it comes to, for example, undercutting like China or safeguarding, perhaps the auto manufacturing industry or maybe steel, some kinds of tech, I get it. But the idea that, like Traffic Trump throwing a 10% reciprocal tariff on everybody, that's the power of Congress. It's not the power of the president. And I don't say that because I don't like Trump. I've said this before consistently, because Congress either needs to do something or it's worthless. And the idea that we just give executive, whoever it is, unilateral power. And this is, this is what Alito argued pretty or, excuse me, what Gorsuch argued pretty clearly. And I say decently. So, no, in this case, I don't think so. There's other ways in the president that he did so that are correct. It's a weird place to be. I still think that Trump was in a reverse catch 22. No matter which way SCOTUS ruled, the economy was going to do really well for this because either the economy says, okay, fine, tariffs, we'll get used to it, or, wow, looks like tariffing the bananas on Madagascar isn't going to be a thing anymore. All right, sure, we can do this too. So either way, I think it's a win.
- [26:10]
Rob Carson
Well, he also, don't forget he's used tariffs to bring peace agreements between places like India and Pakistan. He's used them and said, basically, I'm going to tear up the snot out of you and if that happens, you won't be able to afford to wage war against one another. So he's used them in that fashion as well. It's been a pretty major part of his strategy beyond just leveling the playing field between the United States and other countries.
- [26:34]
Tony Kennett
So that's true. And this is something that was outlined very clearly even in Chief Justice John Roberts decision here. He said, look, if the president wants to use terrorists in order to say to a country, no, you can't do slavery, no, you can't rape Americans and expect us to continue trading with you, no, you can't flood our markets with opium. That he has the right to do constitutionally. But the president does not have the constitutional authority to say, I really don't like how they're selling a lot of lit chocolates in Switzerland tariff. He doesn't have a right to do that. I mean, again, I love the guy, but just pretending that because he does something, it was a great idea. I'm sorry. Peter Navarro sucks. He's bad. And Scott Besson is good. That's where I'm at.
- [27:23]
Rob Carson
Besson is the dude. Besson is definitely the dude. He's now my official favorite cabinet secretary. What else was going? Hey, did you hear, did you hear last night that pizza deliveries were up near the Pentagon? You know what that means?
- [27:36]
Tony Kennett
Oh, do I Ever. Now you're getting in the millennial speak there, my man.
- [27:42]
Rob Carson
It means that the hola might be getting a missile up, you know, colonoscopy.
- [27:49]
Tony Kennett
Rob, I got a present for you.
- [27:51]
Rob Carson
What?
- [27:52]
Tony Kennett
An exclusive for the Rob Carson show this morning. So, as you know, we talked about off air, I've done some fun work regarding some military contracting and I can very reliably say that at least three of the prime military contracting organizations who currently have execs on the ground in the Middle east have been told to stand by and hold for the next 72 hours. Except for two particular crews which are known for high altitude recon work.
- [28:22]
Rob Carson
Really?
- [28:23]
Tony Kennett
There you go. That's just for you.
- [28:25]
Rob Carson
Okay, Well, I mean listen, all of the things are pointing in that direction. We know. Now I have two carrier strike groups over there. Last weekend they sent 117, I think cargo C17s over there. So clearly they're getting their ducks in a row. Bibi Netanyahu was in D.C. last week. I mean, what else do you need? What else do you need?
- [28:44]
Tony Kennett
Are you going to send United Kingdom?
- [28:46]
Rob Carson
No, you certainly don't. And honestly, what a D word for Richard move by Keir Starmer, who hopefully will be gone soon. It sounds like he's a dead man walking not allowing us to use English bases for, for our planes. Unbelievable, right?
- [29:00]
Tony Kennett
He's like, you can't use Diego Garcia Bay. You can't use it. It's like, well, it's a little pissant island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. No one really needs it. But Bulgaria opened up Sofia International. We have at least 15 KC 135 refueling tankers that are currently there and more are arriving at all times. So if the UK doesn't want to pony up, other countries who are closer to Iran want that Ayatollah regime to be leveled down to size.
- [29:31]
Rob Carson
Yes, sir. Yes sir. This May, despite the the carbs that I've been trying to stay from. Order a pizza tonight. I might just have a pizza tonight. Let's cover some other stuff on the other side of the Bennett Daily Signal. Also wicb, ibc. I almost said wcicbm, Wibc, Indianapolis. More on the other side of the break. Let's take it.

Moments ago, State House speaker Todd Houston announced that the Chicago Bears have agreed to relocate to the new stadium to Hammond, Indiana. Houston made that announcement moments ago at the House Ways and Means Committee meeting.
- [31:34]
Rob Carson
Thank you very much.

Maria Bartiromo
And there you have it. The mayor of Hammond and the speaker

Maria Bartiromo
Chicago Bears are coming here to Indiana.
- [31:44]
Rob Carson
I'm thinking pork tenderloin sandwich at the stadium, brother. What do you think?
- [31:48]
Tony Kennett
I would say I'm here for it, but I wholly reject Northwestern Indiana. Like as a rule, the armpit region.
- [31:55]
Rob Carson
Again.
- [31:55]
Tony Kennett
I'm proud of my state. It's good, it's cool. I'm glad, you know, but also, so I also don't care for the Chicago Bears. So it's like, can we swap for like another franchise instead of the Bears?
- [32:05]
Rob Carson
I don't know.
- [32:05]
Tony Kennett
I'm, I'm glad because I hate Chicago and I love to see them lose things. But you know, I, I'm not a big Bears fan.
- [32:12]
Rob Carson
Tony. Kenny, you weren't alive in 1985 for the bears. For dub bears in 1985.
- [32:17]
Tony Kennett
That was, that was the super fans references.
- [32:20]
Rob Carson
Yeah, yeah. Good, good. But, but anyway, I, I, you know, I don't know much about northeastern Indiana or wherever the hell it is. I, I was driving across the, the country and I, and I stay Indiana. When I was driving over Christmas and there were a bunch of people there from Indiana bragging about how Indiana was going to get the Bears. So, you know, this is what happens when you mismanage your city. Why would you want to stay in Chicago, for crying out loud? It is, it is. I'm actually, I wonder. You'd think that maybe there might be some New York teams wanting to get the hell out of New York with Zo Ron Mondame as the, as the, as the mayor. I don't know.
- [32:53]
Tony Kennett
I mean, it's a, It's a weird situation to have JB Pritzker come out in front of the public and go, you know what? There's way too many regulations. And it's like, yeah, dude. He then tried to blame it on like, the counties, the localities, because no one can afford to build anything in Illinois.
- [33:09]
Rob Carson
When it's.
- [33:10]
Tony Kennett
Dude, you're the one who championed these regulations that made you number three in the country for business crippling regs over the last 10 years.
- [33:17]
Rob Carson
You know what this is? This is. These are Democrats. Democrats. What they do is they are like. And listen, trust me, I can comment on this because I lived it growing up. When a wife leaves an abusive husband and the husband goes, what? What I didn't do. Come on, I won't hit you anymore. I won't. Come on, baby, don't leave me. And they're like, you know what? I think we're kind of done. We're kind of done with this nonsense. Boeing, by the way, leaving Northern, leaving Virginia after Abigail. Abigail Scamberger got, got voted. They're going back to St. Louis, by the way. Did you hear about that? I did.
- [33:50]
Tony Kennett
And also, of course, Palantir leaving Colorado for Florida, which I am also quite happy about.
- [33:55]
Rob Carson
Absolutely. Well, this is, you know, if, if socialism is working so well, then why don't people go, oh my God, look, Zoran Nami got elected. Let's move to New York City. Or, you know, why, you know, why is California the. For six years in a row now, the most fled from state in America, even though it's paradise on earth. You know, only, only, only Gavin Newsom or a Democrat could make, you know, California look like Gaza and just, you
- [34:23]
Tony Kennett
know, for a little historical fun here. During the Great Depression of the United States, when so many Americans left to go join the Soviet Union, they were never seen or heard from again. And like we see with businesses, those that do a little, well, I'm gonna open up my own socialist lesbian coffee shop if they're only left handed, queer people of color. And it goes out of business in exactly 5.6 minutes. You never hear from them again. They do not learn.
- [34:51]
Rob Carson
Did you see that grocery store? They had that free grocery store in New York City. And people started arriving by 9 in the morning. All of the tickets were gone, all of the groceries were gone. And a week later, it shut. I gotta tell you, he exceeded My expectations. He has exceeded my expectations. I thought it would take months for this to implode on him. It's taken weeks for this to implode on him.
- [35:12]
Tony Kennett
I'll go one further. I didn't expect him to just go right out, just right out in front of everybody and say, okay, yeah, we're gonna have to raise taxes, which is gonna raise the rent. We're also gonna cancel hiring 5000 New York City police officers. But one more. We're also gonna raid retirement benefits, benefits for the entire city, all of the retirement funds, because we don't have any money. Usually they'd wait to push the old people off the cliff until, like, year two.
- [35:38]
Rob Carson
At least they'll make it a hospice, like California. They'll make it a hospice area. You can come and you can do assisted suicide and all of that. Also, by the way, did you know
- [35:50]
Tony Kennett
Canadian culture, I saw in.
- [35:52]
Rob Carson
Carl Higbee was talking the other night in Washington State, they're doing the same thing. They're raiding the pension fund. Because the Democrats have come in and they've proposed all sorts of new spending in, in. In, for instance, Northern Virginia. They had a $2.3 billion surplus. And they come in and they want to raise tax. Why? Why? Why? Because they want to enrich their friends. It's all a cabal. It's all. It's all. And then they want to, you know, all the money goes to NGOs. They want to make it so you can't audit them. It's the same thing. Lather, rinse and repeat. But this time in Virginia.
- [36:26]
Tony Kennett
Well, of course. And again, when they run what they consider to be moderates, it's always just a socialist with a coat of paint over.
- [36:32]
Rob Carson
Over them.
- [36:33]
Tony Kennett
And as they continue to do these kinds of things, right now, the American people appear to want one thing and one thing only. Results. Give me results. I've heard advertisements that promise me everything but the kitchen sink. Some of them throw in the kitchen sink in the advertisement, and Americans are exhausted of being promised the moon and being delivered gravel. And so Republicans and Democrats are going to have to put up or shut up because the midterms are going to be about who is actually giving me things, what I want. And that's, you know, not something you can just tweet about.
- [37:05]
Rob Carson
Well, you've got a lot of things going on. You've got inflation leveling off. They're no, no longer talking about affordability. You've got new. A new Fed chair coming in. Interest rates are coming down, Houses are becoming more affordable, the rent is coming down, gas is down. And, and then of course there's also all of these things, the big beautiful bill that are causing people to have terrific, terrific income tax returns. So I think that it's going to be the next thing. Last week, two weeks ago we were A week ago it was Pam, Bonnie is covering up Epstein. This week it's, you know, Donald Trump got beaten in the Supreme Court and you know, tariffs. Next week it's going to go back to we're shutting down the government because ICE is Nazis and they're going to keep doing this crap all summer long and we're going to be keep doing it. So we've got to overwhelm them with joy and patriotism and then if we need occasionally a little bit beat down,
- [37:53]
Tony Kennett
I mean again, I, I'm, I'm here for letting the man cook. And in this instance, again, even though I certainly glad if this is what all it all took, if this is what it all took to get Howard Lutnick to get Pam Bondi to get Christy Noem to get Peter Navarro to shut up and let the more competent people do the stuff they are supposed to do. If this is what it all took, it's worth it. Q2 is going to be a great, great economic time. And I think everyone gloom and doing over the midterms is they're getting a little ahead of themselves.
- [38:24]
Rob Carson
I think you're right. All right, Tony Kennan, my friend, where can people find all your glorious work online?
- [38:29]
Tony Kennett
You head over to daily signal.com that's where you'll find all of our stuff.

Rob Carson
All right, brother, have a glorious weekend. We'll talk. Go Bears. Woo. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show who likes voter id. Proof of citizenship, no mail in ballots except for military illness, disability or like you're on vacation. Agreed. Everybody in Georgia joined that Donald Trump went into said, yeah, we're all for voter id. Everybody's for voter id. But here's Gavin Newsom who will never be the president because he's a scumbag, absolute scumbag, completely corrupt. He's driven California into the pits of, of hell. He says that even he can't find his birth certificate. And of course we're not talking about the other aspects of the SAVE act to go well beyond id. And it goes to the, the, I mean, which is also part of Jim Crow the history and that is when it comes to registration, you got to find your birth certificate if you know where yours is. I Have no clue where mine is or you have to. Passport. And two thirds African Americans don't even have passports. Two thirds of African American. There you go. Think of the worst of. And this is James Clyburn sitting across from him going, oh, yes. Oh, yes, that's absolutely right. Passport. I was blocking just then. But not only that. What did he just say? I'm like, what the hell did he just say? I got to hear that again. The Americans don't even have passports. The passport I was blocking on just then. But not only that. The hell is that. How many people go out, get married. Yes. And then square their married name with their birth certificate. Well, how the hell do you move out of your house after divorce and turn on the utilities in your new apartment? You got to have some sort of id. Dear God. Are you out of your mind? You guys are so pathetic. Pathetic. This is Jim Gossett as the president. The say back it is stole it stay stalled in committee. Mitch won't call a vote. It is opposed by several rhinos. You and I know how they get my goat. Yeah, they do. But don't forget, we need id. ID are in trouble. We're gonna be. Yeah, you need an ID for everything. Hey, Senate, pass the same act for me. Sha dooby doobie. Sha dooby doobie. Democrats. Democrats. They are rats. They hope the SAFE act they can help defeat. They can help defeat. They don't want. They don't want to stop us. Steal. When votes are real, it is hard to cheat. Yeah, because they cheat. That's what they do. When it's approved, the Dems will panic and lose the midterms. Wait and see. Let's kick their butt, shall we? Stop stalling. Pass the same act for me. There you go. That is Jim Gossett. He's a genius. My God in heaven. You're only gonna hear that comedy right here on this here radio program. Go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy patreon.com Jim Goss Buffett comedy Mary Walter joins us next hour. We've got much, much more on this Friday edition of the Rob Carson show.
