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. Our number do of the show. Brigitte Gabriel joins us Acting for America.org you should join. She is a warrior. She is a spitfire, I'm telling you. And yeah, we'll talk to her at the bottom there. Nobody knows more about what's going on in the Middle east and the Iran than she does. And she had some really, really, really good stuff to say on Newsmax this weekend. If you haven't watched Newsmax, you really should, you really should. You know, cnn, Mississippi, now, even, even Fox, they all, uh, you know, they have their allegiances and they aren't to conservatism really. And Newsmax is, well, our anchors don't change their stripes, I'll just put it that way. We got three anchors in primetime who have military combat experience. You know, Carl Higbee, Rob Schmidt, and Greg Kelly. All of them have seen combat experience. And in fact, Carl's special forces. He kicked down a lot of doors and killed a lot of terrorists. He's a, he's an American badass, I'll just tell you that. I mean, he is like, you know, you don't want to mess with Carl Higby. Unbelievable. But they're, they're good, good people. And, and they're honest and, and the infinity. Rob Finnerty is fantastic too, by the way. Very, very. He's just fantastic. So there you go. All right. So A couple of things I want to get to this hour. The Democrat party is digging itself in a hole. The American people realize that the DHS shutdown is fatally flawed. It is going to result in. It already is resulting in much pain. We are under threat like we've never been under threat before except for pre 9 11. We just didn't know about it. We know about it now because the Democrat party let in all these terrorists you see and right now they are being mobilized and the Democrat party has the dang. The DHS Democratic defund it because they want to keep illegals in the country to vote for them and to fill the census numbers because so many people are leaving states like California. It's just the truth. That is just the truth. Everybody knows that is the truth at this point. This is what the Democrat party is all about. I had a terrific audio piece here. Yeah. From Heritage Foundation. Donald Trump, when he did the State of the Union address he asked immigrants, very simple. He said who do you stand with? The American people or illegals? And I want you to listen to the commentary here because it is one of the most concise and brilliant takes on the Democrat party and their allegiance to illegals. If you agree with this statement then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal.
Brigitte Gabriel
So much of the State of the Union is whether one side is going to stand up or remain seated. Are they going to clap? Are they going to respond? He said, please. If you agree with the following statement is that your number one duty to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. And the Democrats didn't stand, they remained seated.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Brigitte Gabriel
Telling, listen and showing America that they don't view American citizens as their number one priority. They put illegal aliens at the same level as American citizens. They view illegal aliens as their constituents. And that's just absolutely wrong.
Rob Carson
When we were suffering under Joe Biden's economy, illegals were given hotel rooms. Illegals were giving snap cards filled filled with enough money to fatten you and your family like you never dreamed of before. Never even dreamed of free childcare, free formula, free diapers.
Brigitte Gabriel
Why do they do it? It's to hang on to political power. They have built their political house of cards on mass illegal immigration. And they depend on votes. They depend on ballot harvesting but in the name of illegal aliens. And they depend on the headcount in the census of those illegal aliens and other non citizens for their very congressional district seats and for electoral college votes
Rob Carson
because they don't have a platform to run on. They don't. When is the last time you heard, here's what we're running on here is our plan. Nothing. Nothing. For the last year and a half, it's been nothing but anti Trump, anti Trump, anti Trump. That's it. That's all. That's that. That's all they care about. And in the midst of a very dangerous time for us, they have defunded the dhs. Here's Batya Unger Sargon, one of my favorite people, talking about what's happened in the country just the last three weeks.
Brigitte Gabriel
On March 1, a gunman wearing a sweatshirt that read Property of Allah killed two people and wounded 14 in a bar in Austin, Texas. On March 7, two men declared their allegiance to ISIS and screamed Allahu Akbar and threw IEDs into a crowd in New York City. On March 12, a man convicted of providing material support to ISIS screamed Allahu Akbar and shot up a classroom in Norfolk, Virginia, killing Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah, professor of military science and a decorated veteran. Later that day, a Lebanese man drove a car full of explosives into a synagogue outside Detroit, Michigan, and by the grace of God, was killed before he succeeded in murdering the 140 preschool children down the hall. We are in a wave of Islamic terror in America. The media is already trying to spin these episodes as opposition to the president's war in Iran. Don't buy it. That's just a way to blame Trump.
Rob Carson
Yeah, it is, because you know why? Because radical Islam has been at war with us for 47 years. Here's Condoleezza Rice talking about that.
Brigitte Gabriel
There's a larger issue here, which is we have been at war with this regime for 47 years, or they have been at war with us for 47 years. And when people say, well, you know, we should wait until they were an imminent threat, these. These people. Bob Gates was the. Was the note taker for Zbig Brzezinski. When Carter sent Brzezinski to meet the regime.
Rob Carson
What a joke.
Brigitte Gabriel
And power. And Brzezinski said to them, we'll recognize you. They said, give us the shah who was undergoing medical treatment in the United States.
Rob Carson
This is the meeting in Algeria between.
Brigitte Gabriel
Algeria, yeah. Brzezinski said, americans don't do that. And three days later, they sacked our embassy and kept our diplomats for 444 days.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Brigitte Gabriel
Their tentacles. Hezbollah killed 241 Marines in Lebanon. They have a price on the head of the President of the United States, former presidents of the United States, former secretaries of state, and if you ask what percentage of American deaths in Iraq before we were able to put more protection around them, around our troops. People will give you estimates from 70 to 75% from IEDs and roadside bombs that the Iranians built.
Rob Carson
There you go. That's why we're doing it, you idiots. That's why we're doing it. And why did we do it when we had to do it and start this thing? A couple weeks ago, Bill O'Reilly talking to Glenn Beck, Saad went in and Netanyahu. And I don't think the Trump administration is going to mind me saying this, even though it hasn't been made public, but I'm a reporter. So Mossad went in and said, look, on this Saturday, the Ayatollah and 25 of his thugs are going to be in this place at this time. So what do you want to do now? That was after three months of negotiations with the Iranians to stop their nuclear weapons program. We gave them every shot. This was very deliberate. And the last negotiation in Geneva, Switzerland, the guy, the foreign minister of Iran, walks in and says, you know what? We're not stopping. Blank you. We don't care what you say. We're not stopping. And witkoff, our chief U.S. negotiator, had a report back to Trump. So that's the information Trump has. Yeah. And we're kicking their butts up between their shoulders. And no amount of idiotic boots out of or hands off Iran protests are going to make a damn bit of difference. And by the way, they're all doing a face plant. They're all. And you just look like fools. That group of idiots that I confronted in Alexandria, Virginia this weekend, a prime example. And guess what I'm really excited to see. Guess what? It is spreading around the world. It is spreading around the world. Cuba is going to be next. I want you to think about this. Cuba has been under communist control for nearly 70 years. We have talked forever about the expats who live and have died living in Florida, longing for the day that Cuba would be free again. It's been run by communists. Every one of the communist lined up against a wall, for God's sake, for what they have done to the people of Cuba. Did you realize on that little island there are like 90 political prisons? Did you know how many people who have died rotting in those political prisons for just countering the awful regime down there? Do you know how many people who are starved down there? Well, people like Michael Moore say, oh, no, their healthcare is really good and their schools are really awesome. Honestly, ridiculous. But guess what? They're tasting freedom. And Cuba is going to be next. I finally see a free Cuba in my lifetime.
Brigitte Gabriel
It's all the talk in the Cuban exile after 67 years, a possibility of.
Rob Carson
And the Democrats are going to freak out. You know why? They're going to say it's bad. They already are. They're already talking about how bad it is that the remnants of the Castro regime are going to go down, even though it's the best thing in the world for freedom. Because they see in them collapsing. Another victory for Donald Trump. And guess what? There goes your Hispanic vote. We've already got the Iranians. We've already got a good deal of Hispanic vote With getting rid of Maduro. Now it's going to be 100% TRUMP When Cuba is free of a free Cuba.
Brigitte Gabriel
This just days after President Donald Trump declared the US Is actively pursuing change in Cuba. I think there is a lot of
Rob Carson
hope and change for Cuba.
Brigitte Gabriel
Meanwhile, at the White House, the president's made it quite clear it's his belief, based on fact, that the Cuban regime is bound to fall. The country is obviously in a very weak place, economically speaking. The people are crying out for help and the president believes and knows that the Cuban regime wants a deal. According to a report from USA Today, the Trump administration is in talks with Cuba to create an economic deal that would ease sanctions between the US And Cuba.
Rob Carson
They've been suffering for so many years. I mean, I think economically it'll open up jobs and open up opportunities for a lot of people. Yeah, you got to get rid of the Communists. There you go. That's it. I told you when Donald Trump was elected, I said, if and when he gets elected, freedom and patriotism will sweep the globe. It will sweep the globe. And you know where the last bastions of this Marxism are? Right here in America, in New York City and Seattle, Virginia. Right now, it's collapsing around the world. We are witnessing history we've waited our entire lives for. We've waited our entire lives for this. Relish it. Overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism. Shout them down when they try to badmouth our military. Shout them down when they try to say that the Ayatollah was a better choice. Shout them down. Do it with joy. Do it with patriotism. I'll make fun of them because that's what I do best. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Who would not want voter id? Only somebody that wants to cheat. Not you people. Democrats are so stupid. It's kind of Interesting. I saw this on the, on the, on the Interweb today in Maricopa County. There's a reason why that Chris, not Christine. Oh my. Tosy Gabbard went down to Maricopa County. Apparently it took five months for Maricopa county to send ballots that the Senate Senate subpoenaed. They send more than 1600 boxes of ballots. Every box had seals broken. No chain of custody. Except for 50. Only 50 boxes of more than 1600 received were sealed with chain of custody. It's kind of weird. And here's a little bit of audio from the story that I found this morning. I think you might find it a little troubling. I mean, my God, you will find it troubling. So in the first place, the Senate subpoenaed the ballots and the Board of Supervisors delayed. This is on Fox 10 television down there. Five months before they delivered the ballots out of 1600 something boxes, all but about 50. The seals were missing or had been broken. There was no chain of custody. Wow. Dominion has a very specific requirement for ballot paper to be used in a Dominion scanner. Yeah. Really? We're talking about something that's four, five times thicker than an ordinary sheet of paper. Sure. It has to be manufactured by the Roland Paper Company in Canada, and it has to have an infrared fluorescent watermark on it. Inside the scanner, there's an infrared light and a detector to make sure that the ballot that's been inserted is not counterfeit. But when the citizen auditors actually got to look at the ballots, they found nine or 10 different kinds of paper, most of which came from. Put them into legislative text and handed them to Democrats two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. And said, here are the reforms that we would agree with that you've asked for. Badges, body worn cameras, de escalation training process reforms, all those things they put out there. And for two weeks, my Democratic colleagues have determined the politics is better than the actual solution. And so they've just said, let's do the politics. The problem with the politics on this is a quarter million DHS employees are not being paid right now. So it doesn't make good politics for them. They're trying to figure out to feed their family. By the way, again, I had a TSA agent from Oklahoma City who do, by the way, a great job, say to me just last week, I feel like my paycheck is bipolar. I just, I just never know. Well, I just did. Shut up. All right, here we go. Oh, by the way, Mike Johnson says we're gonna win the midterms And I believe that, too. Because you know why? Because everybody on the left is saying we're going to lose them. And they're shrieking. And guess what? How many, how many elections does it ever say the Republicans are surely going to win? Was Donald Trump going to win the election in 2024? Nope. Was Donald Trump going to win the election 2026? Nope. This act, when it comes to registering to vote, you have to present identification, correct? All right. But your driver's license, which most people use in the course of business. Pardon me, for the. The technical issues, by the way, my microphone is back. Every single day. Is not acceptable. What is acceptable is a passport. 50% of Americans do not have a passport. Those who want to obtain it so they can vote will pay $186 and wait three or four weeks for that to happen. Secondly, you can use a birth certificate. But any person who has changed their name as a result of a marriage or a hyphenated relationship. This is all. They've just made this up, by the way, in the last couple of weeks. They've just made this up in the last couple of weeks. This is just their latest attempt to keep illegals on the voter rolls. And they're. They're willing to throw anyone under the bus, black people, women. Willing to say that they are inept. Willing to say that women cannot cope unless they have a man in their lives when they get a divorce. That's what they're saying, guys. That's what they're saying. Has to find not only their birth certificate, but some correction of it to prove that they're eligible. Register to vote. You're in luck. We've taken care of that. The bill contains a provision requiring each state to allow an alternative mechanism by which someone can buy attestation. Issue a sworn statement. This is Mike Lee explaining how the Republican Party is giving the Democrat Party everything they need, everything they need to make sure people have id, establishing the critical facts underlying their citizenship. It then puts the onus on the state to follow up on that and to determine the authenticity of it. States have access to their own records. States have reciprocity with other states and are able to achieve verification. Amazing. So we've taken care of that problem, and so I'm sure you'll be elated to hear that. And we look forward to having your affirmative vote when we vote on the Save America, which are great pains to go out of our way to make sure that no American, no American would be left in the dark. This will not cost them a Dime and no one will be excluded. You're full of crap, Dick Durman. Dear God. Honestly, so done with this nonsense. Just absolute nonsense. Here is Jake Tapper calling out Cory Booker, who is, I mean, like a male Jasmine Crockett, just as dumb as a box of rocks. In terms of the security of our home. There have been a number of attacks. ISIS inspired bombing attempt in New York City outside Mamdani's house, a shooting target at an ROTC class at Old Dominion, and on and on and on. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security is still shut down because Senate Democrats are blocking the funding bill over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Given the security concerns you just expressed. Yeah, and it should have been already solved. The Democrat Party should have already funded the dhs. The suffering is becoming unimaginable and it's only going to get worse. Not only for the DHS employees, but from the traveling public as well. And given the fact that, honestly, Secretary Noem has been fired. Tom Holman took over from Greg Vivino Noem in Minnesota. There you go. You could argue Democrats won the debate. Isn't it time for Democrats to reopen and refund dhs? So first of all, Democrats have tried multiple times. Oh, you're full of crap. To try to get tsa, cisa, the Coast Guard funded. Republicans have refused time and time again. He is lying through his teeth. The amazing thing Democrats used to think and used to be able to just lie like that and you wouldn't be able to check or you wouldn't bother checking and the mainstream media would just cover it up, you know, like election fraud in 2020 and whatnot. That's not the case anymore. It's not the case anymore. This is on the Democrat Party. That's all there is to it. All right, so coming up, the great Brigitte Gabriel act for America.org talking about Iran and the freedom for the Persian people and others. 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. 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 ghostbed. 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 free. 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 Ghostbed.
Brigitte Gabriel
We're past the negotiating point. You only come to the negotiating table to negotiate the terms of your surrender. Right now, America is winning. We are defeating Iran. We are not going to stop until the job is done. By not only defeating Iran, but also its proxy. Proxy weakening them. Because by killing Iran, it will kill the proxies as well. This is war. War is not easy. People need to have a strong stomach to go through the war. And look, it hasn't even been, what, 10 days now. I mean, you cannot win a war of such magnitude. Like a Starbucks drive through.
Rob Carson
Oh, my goodness. Brigitte Gabriel. I just can't get enough of Brigitte Gabriel. I introduced Brigitte Gabriel playing Brigitte Gabriel. I mean, can we add any more Brigitte Gabriel to the. I don't know, but she's on the Newsmax hotline right now. How are you? Brigitte Gabriel?
Brigitte Gabriel
Oh, my goodness. You are amazing. Okay, next time I'm depressed, I'm calling you to lift my spirit up. You're just amazing.
Rob Carson
The way you said that you were on Newsmax. I think it might have been on Friday. You were on Newsmax and you said. You're exactly right. The Democrat Party has been caterwauling and whining and all of this nonsense since day one when we vaporized the Ayatollah. It took us seconds to vaporize the Ayatollah. And they ignore the freedom, the cries of freedom from the Iranian people. They'd ignored 35,000 people slaughtered in the last two months. The left. And they had these idiotic protests this weekend. Brigitte, you'd love it. I went out and confronted them this weekend. There was this. These idiots. The hands off Iran protest. And I ate them for lunch. You would have loved it, Brigitte.
Brigitte Gabriel
That's great. I'm so proud of you. Yes. We need to stand up and we need to stand strong defending what we are doing. The left is speaking out of pure emotions. The majority of the left's base do not understand what's going on. They have not followed politics. They are young people who get their messages from TikTok. This is their idea of getting their news and sound bites. You know, it's like a TikTok post. You know, it cannot be more than 30 seconds long. I will lose my patience and my attention span. Well, the world doesn't run that way. The world, it takes difficult decisions to make sure that a difficult world works perfectly for people to live in harmony and get along. And they may not live in harmony, but at least they're gonna get along enough in order to protect their families, their interests and their livelihoods. And so this is what we're doing right now. We have become. We are the superpower of the world.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Brigitte Gabriel
And we have become the big daddy of the world because everybody else doesn't have the spine to stand up to the little kids who are misbehaving. China, Iran, Russia, the terrorists. But in Iran in particular, for over 45 years, they have eaten our lunch, they have acted as the bully and nobody said anything because nobody wanted to stand up to a bully until President Trump. So we need to stand strong behind President Trump. This war is going to take a few weeks. It's not going to be done like you played in my talking point, my in my previous clip, this is not as a Starbucks drive thru for five minutes and you're going to have your latte. This is going to be more like five to 15 weeks maybe. Hopefully it's never going to take 15 weeks, but it's going to be a long time. And then we're going to get rid of the Iranian regime and the world is going to be a better place for it.
Rob Carson
You know, I mentioned the cardboard cutout of the ayatollah. You know, everybody's making a big deal out of the cardboard cut out of the Ayatollah. Brigitte Gabriel, I think that's actually the Ayatollah. I think that is actually him. We flattened him like a pancake. We flattened him like a pancake. But, you know, he has not issued a public statement. I talked to my doctor who's an Iranian, and he said, this is literally like eight days ago. He said he's in a coma. He's had a leg amputated. He's in a coma. And by the way, also I'm hearing, I read this headline today that the previous ayatollah who got vaporized in 10 minutes, he did not want his son to become the ayatollah because his son is such a dimwit. What do you know about that?
Brigitte Gabriel
Correct. And I speak to my Israeli contacts as well, and they are saying he's not dead. He is alive, but he is comatose. And we believe right now that the people who are making the decisions on running Iran are members of the irgc. Yes, they are the ones running the country because we pretty much took out almost all the leadership. And like you said, even the one who's left, this Mustaba Khamenei, his father did not want him running the country because he's a dimbit. And so, you know, the IRGC is probably running whatever's left over the leftover hold. But here's why. They are dangerous and they are fighting the way they are fighting Rob, because these people are so committed to, to dying in the path of Allah. This is why they are doing everything they can. They are like swinging in all directions just like a dying body. I mean, they're swinging in all direction before they take their last breath. And now let me ask you this right now.
Rob Carson
Did you see all of the protests this weekend, all of the pro freedom protests sweeping the country? They were tearing the doors off of these IRCG police vehicles and all of this. Do you think that the people are finally, I mean, they rose and then thousands were killed. Do you suppose we are in the beginnings of this complete collapse of the people who are in charge still?
Brigitte Gabriel
Yes, we are in the beginning of it. Look, we were at the beginning of it the day we bombed the ayatollah on day one of this war and killed 40 leaders immediately. Remember, the Iranian people have been oppressed for over 45 years. They are not armed. 90% of the Iranians are people who do not want to have anything to do with the radicals, do not want to have anything to do with the molocracy. The 10% loyalist to the. They are the ones, they are armed. They are the Basij forces. They are the Quds forces. They are the IRGC running the country. And they are the ones who are armed. So the regular people have been fighting literally with their hands. So what we're doing right now is helping them out by eliminating the regime and letting them know that the leadership is dead. You can start coming out now. We are depleting their forces and it's going to take time for the Iranians to be able to take complete control of their country. But it is happening. They are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. And we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel as well.
Rob Carson
Yeah, and we're sealing their tunnels full of drones by the way I know that the Israelis seem to be kind of leaning a little bit into taking care of the regime change element of this. It sounds like the Shah's son, Pahlavi, is the people's choice. I don't think he's going to run the country like the Shah. I don't think the Americans or the Israelis would allow it. But do you suppose that he'd be able to move in and begin, you know, running the country with the help of the people?
Brigitte Gabriel
Well, right now, internationally, he is leading as contestants the person that the people, the Iranian people who left the Iran, who do remember the royal family, want him to lead. The majority of people in Iran do not really know him, do not really know anything about the previous royal family. However, on the international stage, he is known to the Iranian community. And he said, he came out and said, look, I wouldn't mind playing an interim role and being an interim leader until the Iranian people within Iran have a democratic election and elect their own representative. But at least I am willing to serve now as a leadership figure, working and coordinating between the United States and the Iranian people and making sure that we have a smooth transition so we don't have a vacuum that can be filled by bad actors. They want to make sure that once we eliminate, once this regime is dead, that the transition period is going to be smooth enough and give enough oxygen to the Iranian people within Iran who have been deprived for so long to be able to choose their own leader, people who already lived in Iran for the last 40 years, who understand the plight of the Iranians, what they did not like, what they want to change, etc. And I think that's why Pahlavi will be the, I believe will be the perfect conduit liaison between the west and the Iranians until they develop their own leadership or elect their own leadership from within.
Rob Carson
All right, we've got more with Brigitte Gabriel on the Show act for America.org by the way. Act for America.org while we're in the break. Brigitte, think about the Iranian women's soccer team.

More with British Eth Gabriel act for America.org in one second. I wanted to mention something. I did a couple videos over the weekend of I invited you into my bedroom. Yes I did. And I showed off my new ghost bed. I never heard of ghost bed before, right. About a month ago I hear about this company called Ghostbed. They make the beds right here in America. And the guy who created the company and created the bed, he used to, he had a couple neck injuries and he couldn't sleep worth a darn. So he came up with this Ghostbed. And I gotta tell you, I got this Ghostbed because I got one of those foam mattresses when I moved here. I ordered one of those foam mattresses you get. You know, it's all vacuum sealed and all that. And it's been like sleeping on a sponge you keep in your sink for about seven months now. And I always wake up just in the middle of the night. It's terrible. I ordered this ghost bed and it comes vacuum sealed, right? I take it in there, I lay it down on the frame and I open it up and it goes poof. And it's a full size queen mattress. I mean it's, it's, it's like 14 inches thick with a pillow top and it's not too soft, it's not too hard and it's ridiculous. It's the best thing. I got to set my, I got to set my alarm in the morning, otherwise I'll sleep too late. I never do that. So if you want to enjoy the lowest prices of the season on ghostbeds, just go. Just to go to ghostbed.com right now, Carson, look through some of the beds and watch my social media because I got to tell you and I'm not meaning. I mean, this is such a godsend for me. I've slept so horribly. You know what I've been through the last couple of years and it's so good to have a comfortable bed to sleep on. You have no idea what it means. And Ghostbed is freaking ridiculous. Ghostbed.com Carson Ghostbed.com Carson I gotta tell you, it's just amazing. Brigitte Gabriel. You know the great thing about Brigitte Gabriel, she's like a firecracker. All I've got to do is light the fuse, step back and watch it explode because she just fills the rest of the break with glorious talk and knowledge and all of that. Brigitte Gabriel, I want to ask you about these Iranian women and the soccer team who refused to sing the national anthem. Now a couple of them have capitulated and decided to go back risking their own lives, which is another enormous act of bravery. Do you suppose that we might depose the IRCG and whatnot before they can be killed?
Brigitte Gabriel
Well, I'm not sure we're going to be able to do that because, you know, the minute they get to Iran, they're just going to immediately take care of business. You know, it is so unfortunate and it is such a difficult decision that we in the west have no point of reference to such level of oppression. The fact when, you know, we raise our children to compete and represent our country and they go outside and everybody is so proud of them. These athletes that come from such oppressive regimes like Iran, when they leave their families are behind. And can you imagine the guilt that the burden that you carry on your shoulder when you receive a phone call if you dare defect, we are going to slaughter your mother, your sister, your brother, your father. And here you are, a young 18 to 25 year old athlete and you're thinking, my whole family is going to be massacred and I am the reason, of course they're going to go back. I mean, it is such a difficult decision to make. So this is why it is imperative that we help the Iranian people get rid of this regime. Yes, this regime is not only oppressing the Iranian people, but it's also impacting world economics. I mean, can you imagine how the world would look like if Iran as a country with all its resources was exporting, was a source for goodness instead of a source for evil?
Rob Carson
Well, they have been nothing but an evil. They're like a tick on the body of the world, just drawing as much blood as possible and not contributing a damn thing to the rest of the world. Brigitte, you know, I've known you for a few years now, and I've been saying that this was going to happen, that this was going to happen. And I got to tell you, we are in a battle of good and evil. And the left and the Democrat Party are siding with evil. And we've got to beat them into the pits of hell. Brigitte, we have got to take advantage of this situation and end this nonsense. We overwhelmed the left with joy and patriotism. I'll handle the mockery, ridicule, satire, and let Donald Trump handle the butt kicking. What do you think about that?
Brigitte Gabriel
I love it. That's exactly. That's exactly what we need to do. Get behind the President. And we need to not apologize for our stand for a strong America on the world stage. And look, we also are dealing with our own people within our own country. This is why people need to start speaking up. I mean, here we have four terrorist attacks or wannabe terrorists in our country within a span of a week. All of them are Muslims. Their loyalty is to Hezbollah and to Iran instead of the United States states. That's why people need to become engaged, involved. Hold your elected officials, feet to the fire. We need to come together and organize. The left is organized and so must we. If my message resonates with you, go to actforamerica.org right now. Act for America.org and join us. Become a member. Start a chapter in your community. Yes, we make a difference for the country.
Rob Carson
Well, if you're looking for a direction and, you know, a lot of times you don't know what to do. I've known Brigitte for a number of years now. Actforamerica.org she is a general in this army. I am so glad that she's on. I would hate to be on the opposite side of Brigitte. Gabriel, I'm just going to tell you right now, she'd hurt you real bad. I'm just going to say it's really bad. Anyway, Brigitte, God bless you. I know that glorious days are ahead of us. And I know that this regime in Iran is going to fall and we are going to witness history. And I knew it was going to happen. You knew it was going to happen. We just need to keep fighting. All right? Amen.
Brigitte Gabriel
Thank you.
Rob Carson
My prayer. All right. Have a glorious day. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy talking about the Democrats keeping the DHS shut down. So, as you mentioned, TSA agents have missed a partial payment they just missed a full payment. These are men and women who don't make a lot of money. And so some of them are making choices to go, you know, whether they're driving Uber or, you know, waiting tables, they have to put food on their family's table. And in these places, what this is happening, you're seeing really long lines, whether they're one hour, three to four hour lines at airports. And I think if you stand in that line, it's one thing, Maria, if you're by yourself, but if you're with some little kids or any kids for three or four hours, it's horrible. It's ridiculous is what it is. Now airline CEOs are demanding that Democrats, Democrats knock it off. 10. Good evening, Dorika. People are waiting hours to get through security at some airports. And tsa CBS say they're struggling to pay their bills. Those airline CEO describe it as unacceptable and many travelers agree. TSA staffing challenges are colliding with a spring break travel rush that's having challenges. It's the Democrats not funding them. Made even worse by a weekend snowstorm in the Midwest. Absolute mayhem if you ask me. More than 300 TSA offices have resigned since the partial shutdown started. You know how maybe you in Washington, D.C. don't know what it's like to struggle to feed your family? Maybe you don't realize how soul crushing it is. It happened to me. It happened to me. Hell, I was on food stamps six years ago. Do you know how ashamed I was of that? Do you know how bloody hard it is when you want to work, when you want to work and there's nothing there? I had to sell cars. I had peripheral neuropathy in my feet. And when I get done walking 9 or 11 miles a day selling cars, I would go home and say, I think I'd be better off just having my feet removed. I really did. But I wanted to make a living for my family. It is so ridiculous that these spoiled, entitled jerks in Washington, D.C. are doing this to us. Here is Kristen Welker putting pencil neck Atom shift on black. Asked about not funding the dhs.
Brigitte Gabriel
I do have to ask you just finally about this partial government shutdown. DHS not being funded for a month now. Just this week we saw terror attacks in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in Norfolk, Virginia this morning.
Rob Carson
Those are acceptable casualties for the Democrats.
Brigitte Gabriel
The CEOs of the nation's major airlines and cargo carriers have written a letter to Congress call calling for them to end the shutdown, talking about the importance of American security in the airways. Is it responsible for Democrats to hold up DHS funding with the threat of terror attacks looming?
Rob Carson
Now listen to him lie because he's such a filthy rotten weasel during this conflict. Kristen, as you know, we offered vote after vote, resolution after resolution, even as recently as this week. You're a liar. To re election, opened those agencies to fund them, and the Republicans voted it down. Now, the Republican Party has given you everything you wanted for reforming ice, among other things. And you love the shutdown. You know why? Because you love the suffering. You think it gains you politically. You did it in December, you see, blocked Donald Trump's economy. You said that was about Obamacare. And you shut down the government. You're looking for any excuse to shut down the government and cease suffering. Just like you did in the summer of 2020 when you allowed the country to be burned, when you forced all of our businesses to be shut down during a virus that was created in China that we never held them accountable for. Our children are still suffering from that. That is your Democrat Party. That is why this party either reinvents itself or disappears into the dustbin of history. And I'll tell you right now, and I've been saying it for a while, and you know it, if you listen, they're doing it. They're going into the dustbin of history. And Democrats at large should celebrate, celebrate that because they don't represent you at all. Let's take a break and come back. Third hour of the Rob Carson Show. Ride ahead. Don't go anywhere. The wrongs we must right, the fights we must win. The future we must secure together for our nation. This is what's in front of us. This determines what's next for all of us. We are Marines. We were made for this. It's tax season, and at LifeLock, we know you're tired of numbers, but here's a big one you need to billions. That's the amount of money and refunds the IRS has flagged for possible identity fraud. Now here's another big number. 100 million. That's how many data points LifeLock monitors every second.
