Overview

This Friday edition of The Rob Carson Show delivers Rob’s trademark blend of sharp-witted humor and conservative commentary, focusing on recent wins for the MAGA movement, the arrest of a Benghazi attack suspect after 14 years, and President Trump’s major announcement on prescription drug pricing (Trump Rx). Rob, joined by guests including Tony Kennett and Steve Moore, unpacks these developments while lampooning Democrats, celebrating a perceived resurgence of patriotism and faith, and mocking left-leaning narratives on voter ID and economic policy.

Key Discussion Points

1. Arrest in Benghazi Attack: "Justice, At Last"

• Rob Carson opens the show celebrating the arrest of Zubar Albakosh, a key suspect in the 2012 Benghazi embassy attack that killed four Americans. He connects this breakthrough to what he sees as renewed accountability and effectiveness under the Trump administration.
  • “Why didn’t Joe Biden do anything about this while he was president for four damn years? Because they wanted to forget it.” (05:42)
• Audio flashbacks to Hillary Clinton’s infamous “What difference does it make?” line, juxtaposed with recent DOJ/FBI statements touting the arrest and the ongoing quest for justice.
• Cash Patel, government official, echoes the "never forget" ethos and credits Trump for prioritizing resources to deliver justice (07:34).

2. Trump Rx: Major Prescription Drug Price Announcement

• Rob and guests excitedly discuss Trump’s roll-out of "Trump Rx", a government-backed prescription drug program offering steep discounts.
  • “Last night Donald Trump introduced Trump RX, so your drug prices are coming down dramatically... it’s spectacular.” (01:02)
• Website demonstration: Gonal-F, a fertility drug, is highlighted with an 83% discount; Ozempic and WeGovy show dramatic price cuts.
  • “The Trump Rx price is $1. That’s more than Joe Biden did in his entire career.” (14:45)
• Live website walkthrough shows ease of finding and redeeming drug coupons, making a pointed comparison to the problematic Healthcare.gov Obamacare rollout:
  • “Government creations routinely fail... Obamacare site first launched, millions tried to use it, but it only worked for six people.” (18:39)
• Mockery of Biden and Democrats’ promises on healthcare: Rob repeatedly claims Biden failed to lower drug prices and ridicules government inefficiency compared to Trump’s direct approach.

3. State of the MAGA Movement and GOP Futures

• Rob emphasizes that MAGA’s influence is not waning but growing within the GOP:
  • “Two years ago... it was 74%... Today 78% of Republicans view the Make America Great Again movement favorably. It’s only going to get bigger because we’re winning so much.” (02:26)
• Discussion of post-Trump leadership: JD Vance is floated as a potential MAGA standard-bearer. Rob and Tony Kennett note MAGA's populist momentum will outlast Trump’s final term.

4. Populism, Patriotism, and the Year Ahead

• Trump prayer event on May 17, 2026, is previewed as a major moment of national rededication and spiritual renewal for America:
  • “We’re going to rededicate America as one nation under God.” (10:16)
• Additional highlights include upcoming cultural events: MMA fight and IndyCar race in DC, seen by Rob as signs of a rebirth in American spirit.

5. Foreign Policy: Iran and Global Freedom

• Rob discusses signals of instability in Iran—“rats leaving the ship,” possible regime collapse, and resurgence of freedom—which he connects to Trump’s strength on world affairs versus Democratic weakness.
  • State Department warnings to Americans in Iran are read on air (13:00–14:00), raising speculation about military action and expressing hope for Iranian freedom.

6. Economic Optimism: “The Bottom Line”

• Steve Moore (economist) joins to explain discrepancies in job numbers and why he predicts upward revisions, insisting the U.S. economy is undergoing an unprecedented boom under Trump.
• Inflation, home prices, and interest rates under Biden are compared unfavorably with “record jobs” under Trump.

7. Satire and Mockery: Voter ID and Democrats’ Arguments

• Rob and Tony Kennett lampoon Democratic objections to voter ID laws, playing clips of Democrats arguing that such laws would disadvantage Black people and women (especially those who changed names after marriage).
• Rob sarcastically frames these arguments as deeply patronizing and implicitly racist/sexist:
  • “Now women are too stupid to get an ID. Black people are too stupid to get an ID, and that’s why you shouldn’t require photo ID.” (31:09)
• Compilation of liberal interviewees rationalizing that minorities are unable to get IDs is mocked harshly by both hosts.
• The "Jim Crow 2.0" rhetoric is skewered, with Rob referencing the increased turnout among Black voters in Georgia as proof Democrats' claims are baseless (26:48).
• Discussion closes with acknowledgment that Democrats are mired in negative, divisive politics, while the right is “overwhelming them with joy and patriotism.”

8. Cabinet Standouts: Celebrating the Team

• Polling on favorite Trump cabinet members: Scott Bessett (Treasury Secretary) and Marco Rubio (Secretary of State) are praised for effectiveness, humor, and forward-looking focus.

Summary

This episode of The Rob Carson Show is a rapid-fire celebration of perceived conservative wins, from delivering long-promised Benghazi accountability to "finally" making prescription drugs affordable, all reinforce the show’s central argument that American society, faith, and economy are on the rebound under Trump’s second term. The episode blends policy discussion with stinging mockery of left-wing narratives, offering humor, patriotism, and a dismissive stance towards claims of voter suppression and institutional injustice. The mood is triumphant, brash, and unabashedly partisan, intended both to rally the conservative base and ridicule Democratic opposition at every turn.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson show and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. I'm gonna tell you what. Lots of good news. Lots and lots of good news today on the show. They finally got somebody arrested with regard to the attack on the embassy in Benghazi. Four Americans killed. Hillary Clinton of course, said, what difference does it make? But you know, isn't it amazing what happens when you do something? When you do something? Last night Donald Trump introduced Trump rx. So your, your drug prices are coming down dramatically. If you've had a chance to peruse on that. And I have checked out some of the drug prices. Oh my God, it's spectacular. It is remarkable what happens when you don't have a man who has pudding for brains and poops his pants in the White House and his kindergarten teacher wife does cabinet meetings. Honestly, I swear to God, it's so wonderful to have somebody who is not inept but, but apartment in the White House. We love to.

[Donald Trump]

Winning, winning. So much winning.

[Rob Carson]

It's lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning.

[Tony Kennett]

Lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

Lots of winning.

[Steve Moore]

Lots of winning.

[Tony Kennett]

It's also good.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, here's, here's some good news, you know, for those of you who think that MAGA is going away when Donald Trump leaves office. No, not so much.

[Tony Kennett]

So how much power, and we're talking.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

About influence here do they have on the gop? Especially over the long run.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, over the long run. That's what I think is so important here. And it's not just about Donald Trump. It's about the Make America movement again. That's what we're talking about. Make America Great Again movement and it is as powerful as it has ever been. Because I want you to take a look here. GOP who view MAGA favorably. Two years ago when Donald Trump was running for term number two it was 74%. Today look at this. It's 78% of Republicans who view the Make America Great Again movement favorable. It's only going to get bigger because we're winning so much like so we are talking about something that in my opinion will very much be able to outlast Donald Trump. Trump is in term number two. He can't run for a term number three. But the bottom line is this what he brought into the GOP looks like it's going to last long beyond it's.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

A very populist movement. I am curious because JD Vance would then be the next standard bearer of this movement.

[Rob Carson]

I said this would when Donald Trump ran for president he'd have to find someone who, who will you know, go to Trump University for four years, graduate and for, for eight years. And it looks like that might just happen. There you go. This is Jim Gossett on a Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show.

[Donald Trump]

Supreme Court just ruled for me injunctions now a history. The market just hit an all time high again and again told NATO they must be fair. They've got to pay a bigger share. I caught CNN and another captured Maduro. I made a trade deal with China. Yes, quite a tremendous week.

[Rob Carson]

Shut the southern border.

[Donald Trump]

I have a question that I'd like to ask you. Your answer is something I seek.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. What is it?

[Donald Trump]

How do you like me now?

[Rob Carson]

Awesome.

[Donald Trump]

How do you like me now? Now that I'm on a roll I'm sure that I'll be surging in each and every pole broker does ceasefire People ask me how look at what we' how do you like me now?

[Rob Carson]

I'm going to give you an 11 out of 10 thank you very much. Mr. How do you like me Donald Trump sycophant. You know. You know Donald Trump is who've been we've been waiting for patriotic Americans have been waiting for since, since minimum Reagan and he's actually outperforming Reagan. It's, it's really remarkable what's happening and I told you the Democrat party is doing a death spiral into hell because they're nothing more than negative. They think you know like last night we had the Trump rx. Today we got the Benghazi terrorist attack. The guy who did it. Who masterminded, arrested and the Democrat Party. All they have is we're going to impeach Trump and then we're going to use the 25th amendment. Stupid. I mean, honestly, how stupid? And here's the big news of the day. Despite the fact that Obama said that it was caused by an anti Islamic video, and then despite Hillary Clinton saying that what difference does it make who did it? This happened.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

We lost four American lives that day. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith with the State Department and two CIA contractors.

[Rob Carson]

Why didn't Joe Biden do anything about this while he was the president for four damn years? Because they wanted to forget it. Because their names were all over it.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. We have never forgotten those heroes. And we have never stopped seeking justice for that crime against our.

[Rob Carson]

We haven't forgotten the ones who were killed at Abbey Gate because of Joe Biden's pathetic withdrawal from Afghanistan nation.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

In fact, from day one, cash and Dan would sit in meetings and say, we're gonna get them.

[Rob Carson]

You betcha.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

And they did. Today I'm proud to announce that the FBI has arrested one of the key participants behind the Benghazi attack. Zubar Albakosh landed at Andrews Air force base at 3am this morning. He is in our custody. He was greeted by Director Patel and U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro.

[Rob Carson]

Welcome.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

Hillary Clinton famously once said about Benghazi, what difference at this point does it make?

[Rob Carson]

Yes, you did.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

Well, it makes a difference to Donald Trump, it makes a difference to those families. And 14 years later, it makes a difference to law enforcement. Who made the difference in this case?

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Just wow. Here's Hillary Clinton.

[Democratic Politician]

By the way, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What, what difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again.

[Rob Carson]

You didn't figure it out. You did nothing to prevent it from ever happening again. And you didn't find the perpetrator because you didn't care. Because your ineptitude would be shown. Here's cash. Patel.

[Government Official]

General, thank you. And I want to steal one of your lines. Never forget. Pam never forgot the President. Never forgot this.

[Rob Carson]

FBI never forgot those four Americans did not die in vain.

[Government Official]

And certainly US Attorney Pirro never forgot. When an act of terrorism of this magnitude strikes at the heart of our nation, we go to work. President Trump has given us the Full resources at the FBI and across the interagency to make sure we deliver justice.

[Rob Carson]

Here is Barack Obama, who the night of, by the way, the Benghazi attack where four Americans were murdered, he flew to Vegas for a fundraiser with Beyonce. You remember that? The ambassador to Libya killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi. Is this an act of war? Are we at war now? What happens?

[Republican Politician]

Well, here's what happened. You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here that was.

[Rob Carson]

A lie, sort of a. Nobody ever saw the bloody video.

[Republican Politician]

Shadowy character who is extremely offensive. Video directed at the. At Muhammad and Islam.

[Rob Carson]

Making fun of the prophet Muhammad.

[Republican Politician]

Making fun of the prophet Muhammad.

[Rob Carson]

Sure.

[Republican Politician]

So this caused great offense in much of the Muslim world.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Which I mean, is an excuse to murder Americans. Right there, Barack Obama.

[Republican Politician]

But what also happened was extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse.

[Rob Carson]

And you guys let four Americans die. Two Americans died trying to save them. And you didn't call any help to.

[Republican Politician]

Attack a variety of our embassies, including the one, the consulate in Libya.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You know, I'm kind of done hearing you, my friend. Here's a little more good news. This is the prayer breakfast yesterday. I live here in D.C. and. And there's something big coming up in May, which I think is pretty darn cool. I feel very blessed to be here. It's a 250th year of the. The birth of our nation. There's another. We got another arrow in the quiver of patriotism and a rebirth of the spirit of America right there with a Justice Department that refused to just let four Americans death be in vain. That's pretty amazing. That's pretty amazing. But here is Donald Trump with a big announcement coming up in May to.

[Donald Trump]

Support this exciting renewal. This morning, I'm pleased to announce that on May 17, 2026, that we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our national mall to pray.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yes.

[Donald Trump]

To give thanks and to. We are going to do something that everyone said like, I won't be there. That's tough.

[Rob Carson]

I won't be there.

[Donald Trump]

We're going to rededicate America as one nation under God. You know, a lot of people.

[Rob Carson]

Come on. Yeah. Not under Sharia. Thank you. Yeah. So May 17, when that's going to be. And I am going to be there for that. This coming year is going to be so amazing. You got that. You got an mma fight on July 4th. Then in August, they are going to have an Indy car race through downtown, a Grand Prix race through downtown. Oh, my goodness. It is going to be amazing. I might have to rent out my loft as an Airbnb. I don't even know. It is just fantastic. Oh, we have more news. We have more good news coming up on the show today. Tony Kennett is going to join us for bottom of the hour. Murray Walter later, Christian Toto from Hollywood in toto. The number 800-922-6680. This, my friends, is a Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show.

[Donald Trump]

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details.

[Republican Politician]

Our fencing. We have seen the Iranian leadership wiring money out of the country like crazy. So the rats are leaving the ship.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Come on.

[Republican Politician]

And that is a good sign that they know the end may be near.

[Rob Carson]

Well, there goes the Iranian vote for Democrats, including my doctor. My doctor is a. An Iranian expat who left many, many, many years ago because the Ayatollah made it unlivable. And it looks like they're on the verge of collapse. The freedom returning for the Persian people. I think I predicted that last year. Oh, yeah, I did. I did. I also said venezue and in Cuba. And it would spread a wave of patriotism and now faith because the left murdered Charlie Kirk. And so we've got patriotism, we've got freedom, and we've got faith sweeping the globe. It is remarkable. It's going to be a remarkable year, guys. It's going to be a remarkable year. And I've told you, we got to overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism. I'll handle the mockery, ridicule and satire and leave the butt kicking up to Donald Trump. How's that sound? This from the U.S. state Department. Leave it riot. Now he's talking to their employees. I have a plan for departing Iran that doesn't rely on US Government help. Flight cancellations and disruptions possible with little warning. It almost sounds like there might be a military strike or something. Check directly with your airlines for updates. If you cannot leave, find a secure location within your residence or another safe building. Wouldn't want another hostage crisis. I don't think it'll happen, though, because Donald Trump's the president. Have a supply of food, water, medications and other essentials. Avoid demonstrations. Keep a low profile. Monitor local media for breaking news. Keep your phone charged and maintain communication with family to inform them of your status. So something's going on there. Iran escalated its pressure campaign on the eve of the U.S. iran Nuclear talks by unveiling an underground missile City housing a new ballistic missile that can reach Israel in 10 to 12 minutes with IRCGC linked outlets outlined in multi stage plan for war against the United States. Good luck with that there I a. Hola. It looks like they're, they're getting ready to go and hopefully, hopefully the people of Persia will walk free. Wouldn't that be amazing? It would be amazing, yeah. Last night Donald Trump unveiled this new Trump rx. You know Joe Biden campaigned on curing cancer. Do you remember that? He said he was going to cure cancer and if I'm not mistaken, he did not cure cancer. I think he said that he was going to bring down like insulin prices. He might have brought down insulin prices. Four years as the president of the United States brought down prices on nothing because he had pudding for brains. Here is Donald Trump announcing Trump rx.

[Donald Trump]

We're here this evening to celebrate the launch of one of the most transformative health care initiatives of all time. There's never been anything like it. Starting tonight, dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at dramatic discounts for all consumers throughout a new website. It's called TrumpRx.

[Rob Carson]

I'm looking at TrumpRx right now for Ozempic because a lot of people are on Ozempic. The Ozempic pen, the original price was $1,027. The savings on Trump Rx is $828. The Trump Rx price is $1. That's more than Joe Biden did in.

[Donald Trump]

His entire career.gov that's Trump Rx.gov for years, politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription drug prices and make health care more affordable. But they all failed. It was all words as usual. They failed and they failed badly.

[Rob Carson]

Here's WeGovy on the Trump Rx original price $1349. Savings 1100 and $50. Your Trump R 199 dollars Again, more than Joe Biden did in his entire career.

[Donald Trump]

They tried doing this. Some of them, most of them didn't even try because they never really had a shot at it. But I'm actually getting it done and it is done. Actually this launch represents the largest reduction in prescription drug prices in history by wow. Many, many times.

[Republican Politician]

That's amazing.

[Rob Carson]

It's absolutely amazing. It's more again, so you don't have to do all that, that tourism they do and when you get people go down to Mexico, they'll do pharmacy tourism. It' deal in Mexico. I think it's a big deal in Canada as well. And you go down there and you'll see, like, you know, tchotchke shop, pharmaceuticals, Senor frogs. That's. That's Mexico for you. Oh, there's another senor frogs. There's another farmer pharmacy store. And then there's. Oh, there's a strip club. Yeah, there you go. That's Mexico right there. People drive down there. Here is a. They decided last night to go ahead and show the website in front of the entire world. Here it is.

[Government Official]

I've watched some big websites and this is one I think you're going to.

[Rob Carson]

Be very proud of.

[Government Official]

Okay, so you mentioned gona left. I think this is an interesting drug that we can check and see. How do you find a drug on the site?

[Rob Carson]

So the gona lef, I believe, is a fertility medication. And for people who are having trouble getting pregnant, it's. It's a cost prohibitive to say the least. I know many people who just said can't afford it. Not so much anymore.

[Government Official]

We'll pull up the website here. This is trumprx.gov and I'm going to start at the search bar, where I.

[Rob Carson]

Can search by going right there live on a website that they created for the government.

[Government Official]

The drug name. So I type in gonal F and I see it autocompletes. When I click on this, I have a beautiful page that shows the drug product.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Government Official]

And right at the top I see this is 83% off the original price. Now how do I get this discount?

[Rob Carson]

How?

[Government Official]

I take this coupon.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Government Official]

And I bring it to the pharmacy.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Government Official]

I can print it out. I can add it to my wallet on my phone.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Government Official]

That's an Apple or an Android.

[Rob Carson]

Shut up.

[Government Official]

I show it to the pharmacist and I get the coupon credit right at the register.

[Rob Carson]

That is pretty remarkable because here's what happened when Obama's website launched for Obamacare.

[Democratic Politician]

In these early weeks, access to healthcare.gov has been a miserably frustrating experience for way too many Americans, including many who have waited years, in some cases their entire lives for the security of health insurance.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Democratic Politician]

I am as frustrated and angry as anyone.

[Rob Carson]

They spent $2 billion on the friggin website.

[Democratic Politician]

It didn't work with the flawed launch of healthcare.gov.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Democratic Politician]

So let me say directly to these Americans, you deserve better.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Democratic Politician]

I apologize.

[Rob Carson]

Thank God we got it.

[Democratic Politician]

I'm accountable to you for fixing these problems.

[Rob Carson]

No, you weren't.

[Democratic Politician]

And I'm committed to earning your confidence back by fixing that.

[Rob Carson]

Was Kathleen Sebelius, the original Karen of the. Of the Obama administration. And Here's a little more on the Obamacare website, which was a fail.

[Republican Politician]

The website has been too slow. People have been getting stuck.

[Rob Carson]

Government creations routinely fail. Yeah. When the Obamacare site first launched, millions tried to use it, but it only worked for six people.

[Democratic Politician]

The White House promising the new federal health insurance website will be fully fixed.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

The problems are much worse than we've been told.

[Rob Carson]

Vice President Biden made excuses for Obama. Neither he and I are technology geeks and we assume that it was up and ready to run.

[Government Official]

If they can't design a basic, simple website, how are they going to manage half the economy?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, they managed to screw it up. They did. They did a terrible, terrible job. Isn't it, isn't it amazing? Isn't it amazing what you just heard right there was a complete refutation of when government does it tries to take over something. You know, Ronald Reagan said worst thing you could hear from the government is I'm from the federal government and I'm here to help. And look what they did. Look what a giant turd burger without the bun. Obamacare has been a massive scam with millions of people enrolled who don't know they're enrolled. But the government is still paying the insurance companies and they have their stocks gone up 1600% and they've gotten very rich. And the Democrat party has looted Medicare and Medicaid ever since to the tune of trillions of dollars. And look, now it's working. Yeah. Good luck with the midterms, Democrats. Tony Kennett joins us next for the Daily Signal. Always awesome on a Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show. 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'd been hearing about Relief Factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start. I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words and it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth to it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer too. Call 804 RELIEF, that's 804 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain. This is another example of President Trump deceiving and distracting the American people.

[Tony Kennett]

The American people are not fooled by this.

[Rob Carson]

Trump RX isn't fooling. And it's shown in the polls. That is Norm Eisen last night being and whining after the successful launch of Trump Rx last night, which unlike the Obamacare website, actually worked. They actually did it like that on live television. They showed it and it worked beautifully. Is remarkable, absolutely remarkable. But the Democrats, of course, they have nothing to do but be contrarian to Donald Trump no matter what it is. When he got in and went in and got Maduro, they said that free Maduro. When they go after narco boats and said, oh, you're blowing up fishermen. I mean, honestly, these people are just a friggin joke. Just a joke at this point. Joining us live on the Newsmax hotline, as always, one of our unusual suspects on Friday, Tony Kennett, Daily Signal wibc, Indianapolis. How are you today, sir?

[Tony Kennett]

I gotta say, every time I get to the end of the week and realize that I am not one of the crazy ones, it's a good week, but not for lack of trying this week. My goodness.

[Rob Carson]

And look at all the victories that are piling up the the Trump RX launch last night. I was just kind of perusing. I don't, I don't take, I don't really take any prescription meds per se, only to keep my wonderful hair, thank you very much. But other than that, no. But other than that, no, I've been taking it forever. Propecia. I'm willing to say it. I'm willing to say it. What the hell. I got great hair, thank you very much. But you know, I don't need a whole lot of drugs like that, you know. But fertility beds forever have been cost prohibitive. My wife and I, we had to do the shots. We had to do the shots and we didn't have to do the heavy duty like in vitro that cost, you know, what used car costs. But I mean, Tony, this is a big deal, man. I think so.

[Tony Kennett]

So this is something that we've been in touch with the treasury secretary's office over. Scott Besant is doing a phenomenal job of keeping an eye on all of these various programs and promises and ideas the administration's putting forward. And I understand there are some people out there who might have a pause or two, a question or two about how things are implemented. I'm actually one of those people. But I have a really cool strategy. I, I wait and I look at the results and then I go on air and I talk about it.

[Rob Carson]

Crazy.

[Tony Kennett]

I know I'm that way all the way down to the Fulton County, Georgia election stuff. People like the clip you played, who immediately, as soon as the announcements out there already decided it's bad, it's terrible, it's evil, it's awful. We're all gonna die. How many times have we died already? Rob Carson.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And how many drug prices did Joe Biden lower while he was in office?

[Tony Kennett]

Well, got the information in here. Right now, it's zero.

[Rob Carson]

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

[Tony Kennett]

Incredible.

[Rob Carson]

Hey, there been a lot of polling. I saw Jeanine Pirro, not Jean Pierrot, Brigitte Gabriel, both diminutive and awesome ladies. By the way, B.G. gabriel. She, she asked who is your favorite Trump cabinet member? Because you almost want to collect their, their trading cards. They're so damn good right now. I call them the, the wonder the of the Trump administration. I'm going with Bessett, then Rubio. Bassett is just the dude this year. This week. Bassett is the dude.

[Tony Kennett]

I'll give you this. I was on with Sean Spicer this week and we were doing his Winners and Losers and I floated that I thought that Bessett was clearly the winner this week. I still got to say, best cabinet member, hands down is Rubio. Again, not only is he doing half of the jobs in the administration and not to mention that half the jobs in the world at this point, that man's got more part time jobs than an immigrant in the summertime, but when it comes to R, that man is putting in work in ways that I think that right now, and I hesitate to say this because I know it'll get a little bit of pushback. I think that some of Rubio's negotiations on the international stage have even been more effective than the President's.

[Rob Carson]

Oh yeah, yeah, I probably have to agree with you on that. You know, I gotta tell you, I went to see Rubio when he was running in 2016 and he was, I saw Ted Cruz too. Cause I was still kind of, you know, I didn't know Donald Trump. Like he was a playboy. He had a popular television show, you know, and all of that.

[Donald Trump]

This.

[Rob Carson]

And so I went to see Rubio and Rubio was good. Rubio was good, Cruz was good. They had, you know, sell out crowds and the whole deal. But Rubio did not, he was not crystallized until he became the Secretary of State. And now he's just, not only is he doing a great job, he's just got such a damn good sense of humor and he's. And he's just. He's amazing to watch.

[Tony Kennett]

Here's why. This is the real secret. A lot of people, they like to pinpoint, to think, well, here's why this Cabinet official is really great. Here's why. Besant and Rubio are playing so well with the American people right now. They are looking forward while the left is screaming and crying and they're upset about trans this and Washington Post that they're losing their mind over voter id. All of these other issues the left have made their thing to cry about. On the right, we still have some people who are focused on silly, frivolous nonsense. Rubio and Besant are in front of the American people saying, hey, you want to know why you should come out and vote? Because here's X, Y and Z that we've done. Here's where it's going. Here's the new American century. This is what's moving forward, and you're going to benefit from it. You can't buy that kind of marketing.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, no. And, and I got to tell you, also, just the takedowns in Congress this week by Besant of people like Maxine Waters. It was just funny, just fun to watch. And he does it so effortlessly, and he does it without, you know, without his heart rate going above, you know, 75 beats a minute. It's pretty, pretty amazing to watch. Speaking of which, I'm loving this. They. They tried The Jim Crow 2.0 in, in Georgia when they, you know, made the elections more free and fair and more black people ended up voting because of it. And here is Chuck Schumer, who, by the way, it looks like a gargoyle saying It's Jim Crow 2.0 to require an ID. And also, not only this not only insult black people by saying that they're either too stupid or too, you know, whatever to get an id. Now they're saying women are too stupid to get an idiot.

[Tony Kennett]

Hold on. I want to make sure I got that right. He is also making the case that women are too stupid to get ID now.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. Let me see. I've got a sound bite here. Hold on. Who is the one who said that? I've got so much audio. I'll run my own audio, of course. But. But they are saying now that women. I'll find the sound bite, but they are. Women are unable to get an ID because they change their name when they get married. I think it was. I think it was Alex Padilla who said that. I think it was Alex Padilla who said that. About the saving. Let me see if I can. I can see this. I think this is the sound like the real agenda here is to exploit immigrants in their desire to rig the election this November and hold on to power. That's what it's about for Republicans. We got to stand up for it. So it's up to it.

[Republican Politician]

It sounds like. Like you're not willing to. To negotiate on voter id.

[Rob Carson]

That's not the sound bite I was looking for. But look at all of the caterwaulding. Whenever they get the loudest, whenever they make the most extreme claims, it's when the truth has been uncovered. So whether it be, you know, slave patrols, as ice to, you know, Jim Crow 2.0, you know, that they're trying to cover up something and trying to preserve something that has given them power.

[Tony Kennett]

And here I thought that they were, you know, just upset about voter ID being more difficult for women because they have to drive to go pick. Pick him up.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, hey. Ho. Oh, man.

[Tony Kennett]

We're gonna get emails.

[Rob Carson]

Did you. Did you make it, honey? Yeah, it was three accidents on the way. Okay. All right. Move on. Move on.

[Tony Kennett]

I'm sorry, we can't give you your id. You're only allowed to hit four curbs on the way over.

[Rob Carson]

All right, all right, let's take a break for the. The. The complaint calls to come in and continue with Tony Kennan on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

Poor little Democrats. Are you guys okay today? I came in to check on you. Every time Trump does something good, you guys spaz out. Would you guys shut up and let him work? Congressman, of course, the president's allies say that this is all about the Save Action act, which would require voter id, although a fairly stringent form of it. Yes, voter ID is supported by the majority of Americans, but there are Democrats on the Hill.

[Democratic Politician]

You voted against this.

[Rob Carson]

Of course.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

Why not support voter id?

[Jamie Raskin]

Well, look, first of all, this is not a problem that people are identifying or recognizing in the states. The states and local governments are perfectly capable of identifying when there are problems. This is obviously being cooked up by Donald Trump to justify his persistent and utterly bogus claim that he won the 2020 election when Biden beat him by more than 7 million.

[Rob Carson]

Sure.

[Jamie Raskin]

But what's wrong with the SAVE Act? What's wrong with it is that it might violate the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote, because you've got to show that all of your different ideas match. So if you're a woman who's gotten married and You've changed your name to your husband's name, but your. So now your current name is different from your name at birth. Now you've got to go ahead and document that you need.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that is Jamie Raschole. Raskin. Raskin. Sorry. I always mess that up. Talking about now women are too stupid to get an id. Black people are too stupid to get an id and that's why you shouldn't require photo id. Tony. Get it. What do you think about that?

[Tony Kennett]

I love this. I'm serious. So I mean to talk to you about this, like off air. But you know what? We're going to talk about it on the air. So enjoy everyone. I went on a TV hit this week in which I sat down across the Democrat. Every Tuesday I go on NTD and sit down across Mike Leon. And he got so angry over this. I've never seen him this mad. And he said the same thing we talked about for the commercial break. Oh, it's because black people are poor. Oh, it's because, you know, people are too dumb to go get an ID or this thing that you just played off of the clip. Well, well, states would just recognize themselves if there are ever any issues. So that the idea of the argument is, oh, well, it's rare. And I know you have the sound clip of the CNN panel where my friend Brianna Lyman went up against Abby Phillips on this. Isn't it bizarre to hear the same Democrats who say that just because a crime is rare, there still needs to be a law over it? All of the sudden, all of the sudden, my dear Rob Trump, they're saying, well, it's so rare. Voter fraud is so therefore we need to just pretend it never happens. We don't need any more scrutiny. Everything's fine. Is anyone buying if they were like, you know what, rapes are really rare, so let's legalize it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, what the hell. Yeah, why not? Listen to this. This is a, this is a compilation of, I think this is from vigilant Fox of white women being asked about black people and how they, why they can't get IDs. It's the most. It is as it is as racist as your grandpappy sitting around singing, you know, songs about racism. That's harder for black people to go online. Well, I feel like they don't have.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

The knowledge of how, of like how it works. A lot of people have smartphones, but you might not have data. For most of the communities, they don't really know what is out there just because they're not aware or like they're not informed. I also think there's a repression of like black voting with how they, how if you're a convicted felon, like you're not allowed to vote and everything. And when you look, look at swing states like Florida, that's a huge population of the, of the like African American.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Because everybody knows that black people are just dumb criminals.

[Tony Kennett]

My God, I've. This is. I played a compilation on my show. First of all, how sad is it that we have to have compilations? We don't even have one off sound bites. We have a compilation because there are so many examples. My strawberry trees.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, well, even yesterday we got Republicans saying the same damn thing. Oh, Salazar, how are we going to pick our lettuce? Well, I hate to tell you this, I grew up on a farm. Generally farmers and their kids and their family members pick the damn lettuce.

[Tony Kennett]

Also, I'm just going to remind everyone what country we are in. Necessity is the mother of invention. The reason the south struggled to innovate and industrialize is because all of their farmers were able to rely in the north on nothing. You had to invent something to pick the crops. We have made huge strides in automated crop picking techniques for things that we used to thought you could never pick in an automated fashion. So I'm sorry, slave labor is not an argument for me.

[Rob Carson]

How about. No, you know, the Democrat Party, talking to my friend Chris Salcedo, the liberty loving Lexito, and we were talking about how Hispanics are, you know, treated and how Democrats feel about Hispanics. And I said, I said Democrats only loves Hispanics when they got a leaf blower strapped to their back.

[Tony Kennett]

Oh my gosh. And by the way, as a guy who married a Hispanic lady and speaks fluent Spanish, lived with Spanish and Hispanic families when I was in college, when you actually live among the people that you claim to represent and be defensive of, you find out that they really do not care for the white middle aged lady who seems to think that this is 1864. And of course my plantation needs these Hispanics to go out and pick my strawberries.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, believe it or not, people come here to live the American dream. At least they have in the past. And I would venture to say that there are a lot of Hispanics who come across the southern border because they want to own a company and not just, you know, blow leafs off somebody's driveway and pick their lettuce the rest of their lives. I mean, it is just, it's so bloody insulting. The Democrat party is so bloody Insulting about everything. You got black people, Hispanics. You got women. Now. Women are too dumb to go if they're doing a death spiral into hell. Tony, they really, really are. They really are.

[Tony Kennett]

You're wrong. I'm sorry. I hate to push back. You know I love you, but you're wrong here.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Tony Kennett]

The youth, Rob. The youth. Didn't you see Kamala?

[Rob Carson]

Oh, God.

[Tony Kennett]

Gen Z platform headquarters six seven Rob podcasts.

[Republican Politician]

That's.

[Tony Kennett]

I mean, come on now. That's the. Felt like a death spiral to me. Hillary Clinton did it. Look where she is now.

[Rob Carson]

And even CNN called it out and said. Said, you know, basically. Really, really. First of all, who wants that woman? And second of all, trying to be hip. Dude, I. I gave up trying to be hip probably 25, 30 years ago because.

[Tony Kennett]

No, no, please, go ahead.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, no. That's just it. That's just it. After 30, you're like, you know, who cares?

[Tony Kennett]

So as a guy who's wearing a polo button up tucked into his jeans right now, looking like, maybe on a good day, I just want to be fair here. Kamala did just try this last year and the year before. Remember Brat Summer? Remember we already did this. She did this exact same thing, and it did nothing. Now she's out to do a Rosa DeLauro and her red hair going, hey, it's Rosa.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's. We got. We gotta go, brother. But Tony, Kenneth, you're always a blast to have on. Where can people find you online, listen to your podcast, watch your, Watch your podcasts and all that stuff up row.

[Tony Kennett]

You search Daily Signal, you'll find me. That's all you need to know.

[Rob Carson]

All right, take care of yourself. Have a good weekend. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Republican Politician]

Senator, it may be a bit nuanced for you, but what President Trump is referring to is the media saying that the affordability crisis was generated by this administration when it was you and President Biden who destroyed the buying power of the American people.

[Rob Carson]

People.

[Republican Politician]

So there is an affordability crisis, and you were front and center in it.

[Democratic Politician]

So let me make sure that I understand. Donald Trump is not saying that affordability, what's happening to families right now, is a hoax.

[Republican Politician]

He is saying that trying to lay the blame at this administration rather than the Biden Warren economy is a hoax.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely one of them. I was looking up some statistics, by the way, about home prices when Joe Biden was a president. This. According to the Heritage foundation, in roughly three years, the cost of a median home double increasing 114% since Biden took office. The entire situation, direct byproduct of runaway spending, among other things, and illegal immigration and interest rates went from 2.9% to 7%. I got some good news, actually. There's some jobless numbers out this week. Steve Moore says they're not what you think, but I want to.

[Steve Moore]

I was just looking at that, taking a look at the fine print of this report on jobs because the headlines tomorrow and a lot of the newspapers, newspapers and on TV will be a weak job report. But you know, we've talked about this many times. There's two reports that come out. One is the establishment survey and the other is of households. And the household survey showed an all time record high number of Americans working and that we increased the job number of people working by about 200,000. My point is there's a discrepancy here between household survey and establishment survey survey. And normally when that happens, we've talked about this, month after month you get a convergence of those. So I anticipate you're going to see an upward revision of these numbers because the household survey is a pretty positive report, whereas the establishment survey is pretty negative.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. And I remember that year when inflation went through the ceiling 9, 10%. I remember watching the price of everything going from a $88 for chicken breasts at Walmart to 298 on sale. I rem being able to fill a grocery cart full of groceries for $300 and then you were only able to fill the bottom of the grocery cart for $300. I remember it. We lived it. And I keep telling even people who are in the know, conservatives who are on this show, this affordability, the house of cards is falling. That's why Democrats aren't saying it as much because the economy is on fire and it is going to get even better as the year progresses, which will be, by the the way, I believe, the greatest years of our lives economically and for freedom around the world. Let's take a break and come back, my friends. Our number two of the Rob Carson show is coming up. Don't go anywhere.
