Two Only in theaters Friday. Rated P. Hold it. 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. Hey, kids, it's already Wednesday. It's the 18th of February. How you doing? Welcome to the show. Oh, my God. I can't believe this. I can't believe Zoran Mandami beat my expectations. I am going to show you this right now. I'm a little shocked. He actually beat my expectations. I expected the free grocery store in New York City's West Village that opened last week that offered free groceries to people and had people standing in line for a bag of groceries. I expected it would last six months. It lasted a. This is so delicious. Oh, my God. This is better than, I don't know, crumble cookies. I swear, by the way, they're great. This is so delicious. I mean, the Mandami regime is collapsing because as Margaret Thatcher said that, you know, socialism succeeds until you run out of other people's money. And right now, people in New York, Democrats in New York are realizing what a crap hole that they've made New York get. And how many people are leaving New York, the state because of the nonsense. And even they are saying, oh, my God, oh, my God, it's a little too much. And so they're saying, you know what? You already got a budget that's bigger than the state of Florida. New York City has a budget bigger than the entire state of Florida, and a lot of it is just fraud. And 50% of people in New York are on some sort of Medicaid, which is fraud. I mean, largely fraud. And finally, you know, idiots like Kathy Hochul. Now, what's up, doc? The governor realizes that people are sick and damn tired of it. And so she told Zoran that he couldn't have a snicker bar when he went through the aisle at the grocery store. And then he started throwing a temper tantrum because he's a candy aisle kid. So there you go. There you go, your socialist workers paradise. The free grocery store. Once the groceries are given away that are free, there's nothing there. Oh, my God, it's so fantastic. It's just so fantastic. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C. i don't know if you heard about this, but billions of gallons. Nice. I heard like 300 million gallons of raw sewage has been dumping into the Potomac River. And Westmore, the terrible governor of Maryland, he is Maryland's Gavin Newsom. He's like a. He's like a. I don't know. DEI Newsom is what he. Wesmore is DEI Newsome. And he's blaming Donald Trump for the spillage while Donald Trump's trying to, I don't know, end the war with Russia and Ukraine, close the southern border, bring $18 trillion new investment, flatten inflation, make the economy rise, increase paychecks, all of that. And Wes Moore says that, oh, no, he's. He's responsible for our sh too. And so this thing has been pouring all sorts of sewage into the Potomac River. In fact, there's this guy. This is so funny. This is. This is liberalism at its best. This is the DC Water manager, David Gaddis, when he assumed the helm of the, of the water Management Bureau, and he said, there are too many white people in it. You know, when I arrived at DC Water, this was an organization that looked very similar to our. To our. Our industry. It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top. But this was a utility that's, you know, more than 70% people of color. And plus, what's the color of feces? It's not white. This utility, and I really. It doesn't make any sense. Why should have so many white people with feces as brown? Lee and I still believe. And it has been fantastic. The outcomes have been fantastic. But the people at the top, the executives, the chiefs in that C suite, they should look like the employees. They should be brown, like the feces that they serve and that they work with. They could be yellow like the, you know, the other stuff, the number one. And the same thing with the community. And so my executive team, yes, you Know, looks exactly like the community. It looks like. It looks like the. The employees, the staff, you know, be it people of color, women, men. And it is. It's just a fantastic team that has come together to do a lot of great things here at DC Water and in the community. For the customer. You bet. And how'd that turn out? If you look at the river, it's pretty clear and blue, but this stretch right here is brown and gray, and you can see little. It's not brown and gray. It's diverse shreds of toilet paper. The toilet paper's white. It reeks of sewage. So I've been a river keeper now for 25 years. Yeah. And I've dealt with what I thought were pretty big sewage spills or 15, 20 million gallons. But this is dumping about 60 million gallons. Has a whole lot of sh. The last five days, you can call the Potomac sh. Creek now into the Potomac River. And if you do the math, we're. Well, I'll just say Ship Creek. How's that? Ship creek. For 200 million gallons of raw sewage that's dumped in the river, this may be one of the largest sewage spills that we've ever seen. The guy who said that the. The water management people are too white. He. He said that his own department has told people to avoid the river, even keep their dogs away from the United States. And nobody's really, you know, what dogs like to eat. Occasionally reporting about it. I've never seen it this low. I. You know, even in the summer, I guess it's not good sh. So you can just see the conc. Of sewage is really high. You can see the bits of excrement. And whether that's feces or like it's toilet paper, it's kind of what's floating around. I've seen people walking their dogs down here. We've got reports of fish kills downriver. This is a really important public health issue. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't need any of that Potomac fish. By the way, this is brand new from Jim Gossett as the Prezzi on the Rob Carson Show. The Potomac River Westmore we are blaming. He's asleep at the switch Marilyn must suffer cause he is a moron Thrown his constituents in a ditch Westmore keeps on lying he isn't even trying he's stolen, stolen, stolen on the river the Key Bridge still isn't finished down the hill didn't fix the dang thing. DEI has caused a delay Potomac's a disaster. Westmore is the problem hopefully after polls, west will pay. I hope so. Incompetence is showing. Sewage keeps on flowing. Yeah, it's spilling, spilling, spilling, spilling, spilling in the river. Oh, yeah, that's fantastic. There you go. That's. That's Democrats, you know, and it runs downstream. Donut. I think Annapolis is downstream from us. I'm not sure though. It's not sure. Wow. Wow. Just. I mean, bravo, Democrats. I mean, honestly. And what about. What did I say? What did I say years ago? What did I say about the Democrat Party? I was actually talking about Joe Biden when I came up with the, with the expression crap touch. Here it is. Crap touch. Crap touch, Crap touch. Democrat in charge of the water supply there. And he says that the people who work there are too white. Crap touch. Crap touch. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has cleaned up Washington D.C. the dang city is nearly crime free these days. You can, you know, in Anacostia and some other bad neighborhoods, people are able to mow their lawns again without getting murdered. Kids are able to go out and ride on their bikes without getting murdered. It's kind of weird. And you could drive your car into Georgetown and not be carjacked or attacked by a homeless person. Meanwhile, the Potomac River. The Potomac river is not just the opposite. Just the opposite of that, actually. This is what Democrats do though, right? Crap touch. Crap touch. But for those Democrats who are listening, I'm using expression crap touch. But I'm not encouraging that you touch crap, which is the Potomac River. Actually, the entire Potomac river is Ship Creek. Well, let's call it Ship Creek. And Westmore is up Ship Creek without a paddle, apparently. Oh my God. Oh, and then. Oh, and Zoran Mandami, I got. Oh my, my God, again. The, the socialist workers paradise. The, the warmth, the warmth of collectivism that caused 19 people to freeze to death during the snow. Not very warm. Maybe. The, maybe the thermostat on collectivism is below freezing. I'm thinking that's maybe what it was, but we got that going on. I'm gonna share some of that. It's kind of funny. Cause my friend Chris Plant, he's nationally syndicated talk show host, said friend of me. He says that if Democrats didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all. And Democrats have suddenly decided that voter ID is bad. And they're saying that 20 million voters don't have ID, which means they cannot live in a civil society because there are a million other ways you need to identify yourself. And so I suggested that why aren't Democrats trying to Find the people who don't have the IDs and get them IDs rather than tell us all we don't need IDs. And the reason being is the 20 people who are citizens who don't have IDs don't exist. But the 20 million illegal aliens who don't have IDs do. That's all you need to do in your next argument with a libtard. Yeah, I said it. Libtard. Or if you're in near the Potomac, libtard I think is the word. But, but just tell them that that's it. But listen to, listen to Chuck Schumer back in the 90s before he became an osteoporetic osteoporosis addled gargoyle then versus now. Everywhere people go they're asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one way to prove you're a bona fide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver's license and a Social Security card. This is an anti. But since then, you know, people of color have gotten stupid and women are stupid too. I fraud amendment all over where people say well why can't you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here? And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud. What they are proposing in the so called save act is like Jim Crow 2.0. Yeah, here's what's changed. The Democrat party has become a crime family that exists only to steal from us. Loot the treasury for their friends, their cronies, you know, using the welfare system or whatnot. Snap to, to, to Medicare, all of this, trillions of dollars and and people are leaving Democrat run states so they have to now to win elections, they have to bring in illegals to win the elections. There you go. There you perfect encapsulation. All right now coming up we're talking about Zoran Mannami wants to raise property taxes 10%. So it isn't just on the rich, it's on everybody. All right, that's coming up. Here's a number. 800-922-6680. This is the Rob Carson Show. The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com/listen for details. Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing. However, in order to get to this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the rainy day fund. Retiree health benefits, trust reserve, and to increase property taxes across these other years. Wow, that didn't take very long, did it? And his free grocery store shut down after a week. Wow. It is just phenomenal. But you know what? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. The Democrats are gonna win the midterms. Cause you know, socialism. But it's kind of weird. Every time that socialism wins in a city, people leave. Every time socialism wins in a state, people leave. The states that the most people are leaving are Democrat run states. And they. And the ones where they're going to are run by Republicans. Places like Florida and Tennessee and Texas because they don't have income tax, among other things. But this is just your Democrat party. They're a bunch of socialist morons. And if they could, you know, here's the thing. If Kamala Harris would have won the presidency, they would have done their level best to make it so you couldn't leave a state. You couldn't leave a state. Right now you have the opportunity to gtfo when your state goes bananas like Virginia electing crazy cat lady Abigail Spamberger. But Anyway, Mondami threatened 9.5% property tax increase if a wealth tax is not passed. So the Democrats in Albany are saying, we're not gonna give you a wealth tax because we're already bleeding the state dry of successful people. And monda me saying, well, I'm going to have to raise the property tax. I didn't want to do it. It would affect 3 million single family homes, co ops and condos, and over 100,000 commercial buildings. The mayor acknowledged that his proposed would not merely force the wealthy to pay more taxes, but also would be a tax on working and middle class New Yorkers. I thought he was going to support all the middle class New Yorkers. Here's one of his idiot moist dream campaign ads. I'm assemblyman Zahran Maldani and I'm running for mayor to freeze the rent for every rent stabilized tenant. Wait, you're gonna freeze my rent? What? Yes. No, I meant we're gonna freeze the homeless to death. Did I hear rent freeze? Yes. This guy's gonna freeze the rent. No, we meant homeless people. Come on. No. Hike. None. This guy's gonna freeze the rent. It's true. As your next mayor. Yeah. I will freeze your rent. Very well. Paid for by Zoran for nyc. Yeah. There you go. How well did the wire work for you? Not so well, actually. Not so well. Here's Ron Mandami after after his erection election yesterday. A little bit more for those who have watched budget after budget, it is tempting to assume that we are engaging in the same dance as our predecessors. Oh no, no. You are. 100% you are. And by saying you're not, you're projecting. What you're saying is exactly what It's a repeat. Okay. It's the same crap. Lather, rinse, replete. Welcome to Groundhog Day 2026. Let me assure you, nothing about this is typical. Sure. That's why our solutions won't be either. No. There are two paths to bridge this gap. Yes. The first is the most sustainable and the fairest path. This is the path of the billionaire millionaire tax being the drain on our city and raising taxes on the richest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations. Sure. The onus for resolving this. The only problem is the profitable corporations and the individuals will leave. Crisis should not be placed on the backs of working and middle class New York. It's going to be if we do not fix this structural imbalance. Yeah. And do not heed the calls of New Yorkers to raise taxes on the wealthy. Yeah. This crisis will not disappear. It will simply return year after year, forcing harder and harsher choices each time. Absolutely. Wow. What a. And I didn't I just kind of tell you. I think I told you when the election was happening. He's not going to fulfill any of the promises that he promised. Everything is nonsense. He's an Islamist first and he will say anything he wants to get elected. Same went with Abigail Spamberger over here in Virginia, where I live. She said, oh yeah, we're going to be moderate and all this. And then after she becomes the the governor, even though they have a $2.3 billion surplus for Democrats who are listening, it means you're taking in more money than you're spending. So right now you're cool, everything's covered. But Abigail Spamberger decides to come in with all the green energy nonsense. Tell you you got rid of your got to get rid of your gas leaf blower. Like that makes a difference at all. Replace it with a friggin battery operated leaf blower and then tax the snot out of the back. The leaf blower. That's your Democrat party. My God, when will they ever learn? And then, and then, by the way, this wasn't even part of his campaign promises. But you think as the mayor, they'd remove the snow. So here's one side of the street. Trash piled up as high as you can go. And this is the other side of the street. This poor bastard ain't Getting out until the spring. No. Look at this. It's the new, you know, way to remove snow. No tax money, no manpower, no overtime. You wait for it to melt dirt a week after the snowstorm. Look at this. Dirty New York City. You need to get somewhere. Do not take an Uber. Do not take a taxi. Well, you notice a little comparison? We got Maryland run by Westmore with all sorts of crap dumped into the Potomac river, and here you got crap on the streets of New York. If you're new, if you're in New York City, you need to get somewhere. Do not take an Uber. Do not take a taxi. It is taking forever. Wow. That is. That is the warmth of collectivism. Here's the great Rob Schmidt on Newsmax talking about. He lives in New York, by the way, barely a month into what's been a disastrous term already for Zoran the moron. His entire plan has blown up in his face. Yes, and with a scowl. Mom. Donnie today admitting that he couldn't get it done. The revenue for his massive budget will not be coming from taxing the rich, but from raiding the city's rainy day. Wow. And raising property taxes in New York city by nearly 10%, further gutting new York's middle class. Faced with no other choice, the city would have to exercise the only revenue lever fully within our own. My hands are tied. We would have to raise property taxes. Yes. We would also be forced to raid our reserves. Nice. At the heart of this path is a property tax increase. It would mean withdrawing $980 million from our city's rainy day fund in fiscal year 2026. Wow. Obviously, the Snowy day fund has already been raided. What happened to tax the rich? Yeah, exactly. It's because he's a. He's a man child. Okay. It's because New York City is being run by a combination of Animal Farm and, you know, a bunch of children, for God's sake. It is ridiculous. You give the keys to the first grader driving the school bus. There you go. You got New York. All right. Gonna take a break and come back. It's even worse in Washington state, if you can imagine that. That's coming up on the other side of the break. And 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'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 worth 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 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? What happened to tax the rich? Mamdani looking like a whipped puppy in that video. It has been a rough month for him. So what did happen? Well, when he took his grandiose tax plan to Albany last week, state leaders and the governor effectively told him there is just no way we are taxing the rich anymore. He had a very bad trip and that's not going to change. Mommy told him he couldn't have any candy. Pretending like there's a chance he can bully the legislature into doing this by threatening to raise city property taxes. It's not going to happen. Lord of the Flies meets Animal Farm. That is what's going on in New York City. It's going on up in Washington state. The woman child in charge of Seattle now again handing the keys to the first grader in the bus saying drive everybody home and you know what's going to happen then? You're all going to die in a fiery crash. So that was appears what's to be happening. Here's Abby Normal, also known as Abby Phillips over on cnn trying to convince Kevin o' Leary that raising the taxes on rich people and billionaires business just won't drive people away. Charts some data for you, Kevin. Thank you. The last time there was a tax hike on the wealthiest. She forgets. Abby Normal forgets that for six years in a row the state of California has led the nation in people leaving. So there's that in 2021. Take a look at this chart. You see what's going on there. The number of people making more than $200,000 in the city increased. The number of people making between 200,000 and a million dollars increased. Everybody who makes a lot of money, there were more of them. Well, what about since Zoran Mandami became the mayor in New York City? So the idea that there was something why not increase taxes 100 if it's so good? Look, let's go. Don't get mad at me. I'm not mad. I'm excited about it. Yeah, but works so well. Raise taxes 110%. I'm just asking you because I want you to pay. Not me. I'm asking you, is there really proof of. Other than the major outflow of people from every Democrat state in America? The brain drain that you say? The money drain. England in the late 60s, it's called. So then why are there more multimillionaires? Oh, dear God. Why do you have the stupid people host the show and the smart people on the panel? I don't get it. This is finally when Kevin o' Leary said, you know what? You're all nuts. All right, Kevin, a quick last word. Oh, wow. The. Which I'm not sure. You're all nuts. Yeah, like that's just. Oh, my God. Thank you, Gavin. Guys, it's true. Absolutely 100%. They're nuts. They're nuts on everything. They were nuts about boys becoming girls and competing in girls sports. They were nuts about the. The drug boat captains being blown up. They were wrong. And they were nuts about Maduro. They were nuts about the Hunter Biden's laptop. They were nuts about Joe Biden having dementia. Denying it. We got to keep it together here, okay? Honestly, I mean, there's. There's a friggin lunatic asylum there. That's why I say that like people, you know, he, among others, are sanity in a sea of insanity to talk about these things. If you don't have anything to say, just say that and I won't come. Something. No, he did say something. You're all nuts. And he's right. You don't everyone. She's wrong about everything for being here. That was a stretch. Excuse me. Excuse me. Stop. Kevin. Stop the federal. Yeah, stop inviting sane people on your show and that'll stop. Actually, I want to go to Ann in Annapolis, The. The capital of Maryland, home of the Maryland General Asylum, also known as the state legislature. Hello. How are you? Hi. I'm okay. I'm okay. I wanted to tell you I zeroed in on you. I'd been listening to you for years when Russia went off, and then you finally came on. And I found a home there after the election where. Where Donald Trump did not win that. That 2020 election. And you had the nerve, like a lot of people did, not to say that you knew it was cheating. And that's exactly at that point I went. I honed, zeroed in right on you. And because you had it right. Also I want to say that. That the 20 the, the, during the first administration of, of Trump, that red wave that they said never happened, they never went back to check about the cheating. Yeah, well, they're checking it now. By the way. By the way, you know, I went to Annapolis for the first time in about 12 years a couple months ago. How could the state, the capital of Maryland a so highly taxed, have streets and roads that are such crap? Everybody says, I mean, I was born here, but everybody sees that's out there, sees the corruption, and it's just amazing. But I wanted to tell you that regarding your Chuck Schumer thing that you were just talking about, you know, nobody changes their opinion like that. I believe that that whole Democratic Party, lots of the, and part of the Republican Party is part of like a secret society that. But you know, the here in colleges where everybody's got something on somebody and if they don't toe the line, it's coming out. I believe that they're circling the wagons. They've all got something on somebody, and that's why they stick to each together like glue. Well, they, they're a criminal cartel. The Democratic Party is a criminal cartel. They've, they've moved from being the party of the working man helping, you know, and they, they were always fake. They always lied. They always said, oh, yeah, we're gonna give you a pittance and make it seem like we really care about you. And then they moved into increasing the size of the pittance, the, into the government. And then they took the money rather than giving it to people, and so they've enriched themselves. The COVID was a prime example. He increased the size of government by 40% and nothing went to anybody but the government. Government employees, NGOs, corrupt charities and whatnot, to the tune of trillions of dollars. And now they're do. They're realizing that they can't steal elections anymore. They can't. They're so bankrupt that nobody wants to vote for them because nothing court is positive. So they have to rely on bringing illegals in and loading them up with free stuff because our pittance is a lot more to people coming from, you know, the armpit of the world. Somalia. Yes. But I think the fact that they're all so wealthy beyond what they could be making in office is truly should be exposed. I mean, people know, but they got to keep driving that home because people, they keep, you know, saying that they're, they're paying off their friends or doing this and that, like they're not getting anything. They all live way, way above what their Means are. And they're a republic. Republicans who are worth tens of millions of dollars. Who, you know, the friggin speaker of the House or the Minority Leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell. He's worth tens of millions of dollars on $174,000 a year. I think all the Democrats are dirty and I think probably half of the Republicans are. Yeah, well, thanks for. We gotta gut the place. We gotta drain the swamp. And what did they do? We started draining the swap. They filled it up with crap. We do. And we have an oligarch, you know, we do. We've become an oligarchy. And it started like when Bill and Hillary left office and started to enrich themselves. Then Barack and Michelle came to office. When they left office, they were worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You've got Nancy Pelosi worth $400 million in Congress. You've got other Dianne Feinstein worth tens of millions of dollars. You've got, you know, Pramila Jayapal and Ilan Omar who suddenly went from zero to $30 million in value. We have a very, very, very, very corrupt oligarchy. And the Democrat Party party is being exposed. They can't steal elections anymore, so they're lashing out saying you can't get an ID and Republicans want to steal the election and they're doing a death spiral into hell. They're doing a death spiral into hell. The, the illegal cabal, the, the, the Democrat and some Republican crime family is being exposed. And as I like to say, you know, the left exposes its flank so we can kick its ass. And we've gotta do that. We've gotta kick their butts clear up between their shoulders from here through the midterms. Thank you very much. Let's take a break and come back, shall we? This is the Rob Carson Show.

We take our finger and press this button tonight. That is a four billion dollar vote. And the next thing will be an income tax and many other taxes after the largest tax increases in state history. And all the while a spending addiction that is totally out of control. These are retired firefighters. These are retired police officers who have worked so hard. And then when they see the hands of Olympia reaching in to take their retirement, they take it personal. We have spent so much money in so many ways on so many unsustainable programs that we've forced ourselves into a hole that a year after we have record increases in taxes, over $9 billion of new taxes, we're immediately coming back and asking our retirees to shoulder a massive, massive shift of their funds to balance the budget. If this were a private corporation, yeah, we'd be screaming bloody murder that they were raiding their employees pension funds. We are continuing to spend more than we take in and we're going to come back next year and we're going to even have a worse deficit. We have record revenues, Madam Speaker. We have a record $78 billion budget. And despite, despite slowing revenues, our revenues still continue to climb. We don't need to raid the left one pension. There you go. That's your state of Washington by the way. They are planning on depositing $565 million into the climate Commitment account. Now the state of Washington is a fingernail clipping on the face of the earth. So it's not going to mean a D word for Richard for them to, to do anything about controlling carbon or whatever. It's a joke. It's a joke and all it takes is one of those volcanoes in Washington to fart and it will cause, it will reverse every ounce of anti carbon nonsense these idiots decide to push through. This is your Democrat party. This is why I am confident when I say they are doing a death spiral into hell. They cannot win elections on ideas. They cannot win election on ideas. They are losing on all of it. It we have an 8020 issue here. I said during the election, I said 80% of us believe the country was going in the wrong direction. 80% of us could save the country. Right now the Democrat party is 80 20. You've got 80% of Democrats saying what the hell they're going along with this nonsense, but 20% are causing the death spiral and keep going, man. I'm honestly, I want you to keep failing up big time. Here's Carl Higbee talking about what's going on. Carl Higby from Newsmax, by the way, talking about what's going on in Washington state, which is happening in New York City to cover their spending addiction. Last night the Democrat majority State Senate passed 2722 two Democrats joined all the Republicans in voting against this bill, what they're calling a millionaire tax. It's an income tax on household revenue, household not singular of more than a million dollars a year. That's going to be at 9.9%, which on its face is in fact a violation of the state. They want to raise the income tax rate in Virginia to almost 14%. Const. Which states in Article 7, Section 1, all taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of property. The word property as used herein shall mean and include everything, whether tangible or intangible, subject to ownership. And since in 1933 the Culleton vs Chase Washington Supreme Court ruled that income is in fact considered property. So a graduated state income tax like they're proposing would in fact violate their state constitution. So Democrats, what'd they do? They don't like listening to the Constitution, so they essentially did an end run around the Constitution. Very actually crafty what they did. Evil people, the way they wrote this to avoid a constitutional challenge, which they'll probably get anyway. But they quietly made this a tax on everyone of all incomes, but made a $1 million deduction for everyone. Yeah, they have a spending addiction. It's like all of the heroin addiction there in Washington. Washington state again, what Thatcher said, she said the problem with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people's money. This is already happening in New York. This is going to happen in the ncl. It's already happening in California. California is a bleep show. California is a bleep show supreme. Profoundly, profoundly corrupt. Profoundly, profoundly corrupt. Steve Hilton is running for governor in the state of California and God willing, he will become the governor. Listen to, he's, he's created this, this Cal Doge. All right, so they're doing what Elon Musk does. But since Steve Hilton doesn't own a EV company that burning down his, his car dealerships and calling him a Nazi. But listen to what's going on in California. Great to be with you. By the way, that this is just the first fraud report from Caldos we Got this out in about 10 days from when I set up Caldos. And it's a volunteer organization as you mentioned. I'm not governor yet. And we just did it through detailed research. We got some investigators going through the budgets. Pretty easy to do. We found this. It's pretty easy to do. You don't even need to be Keith Ellison to find this. There's going to be much more. Our estimate is that the total amount of fraud in California. $250 billion. $250 billion in fraud in California. The $26 billion spent on homeless and homelessness only increased none of the making people, you know, giving them home. Not a dime. The high speed rail went from like 16 billion to 130 billion. They haven't laid a single bit of track. And they have got a massive fraud industrial complex with regard to Medicare. They got all these hospice care centers that are located in strip malls. None of them are providing end of life care. They're all connected to like the Soviet, the Russian mafia at least. So there's a lot more to uncover. Wow. $250 million. And yet Gavin Newsom says that even despite everything that's wrong with California and the bleep show that he's made it into that the Donald Trump and we have, have he's California derangement syndrome. I guess all those millions of people leaving the state have the same thing. I think there's a California derangement syndrome and he's part of of it. I mean, I think people are obsessed with focusing on what's wrong with the state and what's right with the state.
