Rob Carson
carson show and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. We have got the the unusual suspects. As always on Friday. Tony Kennett, Daily Signal, Barry Walter Christian, Tota. Among other things, I'll just mention the beginning of the show. Norris passed away. You may have already heard. Chuck Norris death was the only buddy couldn't kick, I guess. But you know What? He was 70. He was 86 years old. Had a great wonderful life. He was, he was legendary. You know, I remember watching Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, you know, movies when I was a kid and all that and never, never being on the Walker Texas Ranger. But you know, the man was a legend. Just a. Just a legendary figure, just an amazing guy. And so I thought I would start off the show. You know, I know there's a lot of pressing news and we'll get to it all save act. But I got some Chuck Norris jokes I want to tell you. Are you guys ready? Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. Chuck Norris. If you spell Chuck Norris in Scrabble, you win forever. The flu gets a Chuck Norris shot every year. When God said, let there be light, Chuck Norris said, say please. The dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way. Once you know what happened to them? There is no chin behind Chuck Norris beard. Thus another fist. On the seventh day, God rested. Chuck Norris took over. Chuck Norris can dribble a bowling ball. If you want a list of Chuck Norris enemies, just check the extinct species list. These are fantastic. These are just fantastic. Chuck Norris once shot down an enemy plane with his finger by yelling bang. Chuck Norris does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word, Oxford will change the spelling. This is so bad. One more, one more. I'm gonna I'm gonna share these throughout the show because, you know, I think they're just wonderful. Some kids pee their name in the snow. Chuck Norris can pee his name in concrete. Yeah, I just. I love it. I love it. I love it. Chuck Norris. I just saw this on the Rumble from Dookie Bear. Chuck doesn't do push ups. He does push downs. Yeah, the earth goes down. When he does push up, he doesn't do push ups, and the earth actually goes down anyway. He had a glorious life, man. He lived 86 years. Ain't nothing wrong with living 86 years. Not such a bad thing, is it? Not such a bad thing. So current US Gas prices, you know, everybody's freaking out about gases. And I just heard a story from this, whatever network we run here that, that people are going to change their travel plans because of the gas prices, because of the war. All right? Or the. Or the military conflict or whatever the hell you want to call it. Not high as Joe Biden, for God's sake. I remember filling up for Joe Biden $94 in my. In my little Lexus RX. 350. I got to go get some tea or something here, man. Got a little frog in the throat. But in 2022, before the Nord Stream pipeline explosion, gas prices had already surged above $4 a gallon. Prices remained elevated above $4 a gallon for nearly six months. Joe Biden, you may recall, blamed the gas stations. He said they were gouging. Remember that? Remember Joe Biden saying they were. They were gouging us? Please give me a fricking break. So, you know, all of these, I gotta tell you, it's amazing. For the first year of Donald Trump's administration, because of Joe Biden's inflation, they said that Donald Trump has made things unaffordable. He needs to make things affordable. And now that we've got this conflict going on with Iran and we're seriously kicking Iran's butt, and now that grocery prices have all come down and rent prices are dropping all over the place, and oil has gone up a little bit because we're involved in crushing The Ayatollah after 47 years of terror around the world, and gas prices have gone up, but they haven't gone up as high as they were when they were. Joe Biden was the president, and there was no excuse for it other than the fact that we were not energy independent. We had all this green energy bullcrap, and we were given, you know, all sorts of subsidies for stupid electric cars that nobody wanted, including the Ford F150 Lightning. Dear God, if you have one of those, I am so sorry for you because guess what, you might as well sell that for the metal because you ain't going to get anything for it. You just, you know, sorry. You just, you're just not, you know, it's just they're not, they're not selling. But that's what they did. That's what they did. Here's some other things that, that are not a big surprise. 77% of Republicans back rumps. Trump's Iran strikes. 77% of Republicans compared to 28% of independents. Are you ready for this? Is this a big surprise? Because Democrats want Donald Trump to fail and they are willing to sacrifice our troops. They are willing to cast aspersions on their incredible, incredible job that they're so 6% of Democrats. 6% of Democrats. And most of that is because Donald Trump is winning 6% of Democrats. So 94% of Democrats. They are fine with the Ayatollah being in power. They are fine with the terror, they are fine with the nukes, they are fine with the missiles, and they are fine with Iranian women, another generation being enslaved. There you go. That's your Democrat Party. That is your Democrat Party. Because they would rather have people live in bondage and terror still exist in the world unabated than Donald Trump having a victory. That's what they say it is, by the way. That's what. Hey, it's time for. Excuse me again. I gotta get some tea during the break here. It's time for some good news.
Show Announcer/Producer
We love to win. Winning, winning. So much winning.
Rob Carson
It's lots of winning, lots of winning, lots of winning, lots of winning, lots of winning, lots of winning.
Caller or Guest (possibly Tony Kennett)
It's oh, so good.
Rob Carson
You know, one of the, one of the many things that the Democrat Party cannot happy about a couple of things. First of all, fentanyl deaths have dropped dramatically. The number of children being trafficked across the southern border has gone to zero from hundreds of thousands while Joe Biden was the president. And women being trafficked over the southern border, forced sex and labor, all have dropped. You know, Democrats can't celebrate that because it's a victory for Donald Trump. And then there's this from Cash Patel when he was testifying this week before Congress about crime. Do you remember every weekend we used to just go to Chicago crime stats. Every weekend, Chicago tribes, 29 people shot, 10 people killed in Chicago. Yeah. What happened this summer? It went down. What happened in D.C. in Washington D.C. crime is almost nonexistent. It's amazing.
Guest or Expert (FBI statistics presenter)
Under the Trump administration, this FBI has literally had a historic year. We have 112 increase, 112% increase in violent offenders arrested last year alone. A 20% decrease in homicides. 20% decrease in robberies. We have disrupted 1800 criminal gangs. That's a 210%.
Rob Carson
You think people would be happy about that, but no, see, it's on Donald Trump's watch.
Guest or Expert (FBI statistics presenter)
And increase. We seized enough fentanyl to kill 178 million Americans. That's a 31% increase. We have gone after the most vulnerable in our society. Protecting children. A 490% increase in arrest on those that prey on our children. Online, we have located, found and identified 6200 missing kids.
Rob Carson
6200 missing children. Can you be happy about that?
Guest or Expert (FBI statistics presenter)
That's a 30 increase. We have dismantled and taken down 1700 child predators. That's a 17% increase. And those that wish to traffic our young American citizens and women. 300 human traffickers have been arrested. That's a 15% increase. And seven, seven of the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives in the world have been apprehended in the last 13 months. To put that into perspective, there was four in the prior four years. So this FBI under President Trump is fully stocked to get after every single fight we have. And these are just some of the statistics.
Rob Carson
So I think, I think that's some pretty good news, don't you? Yeah, yeah. But the Democrats are talking about gas prices going up, not as high as when Joe Biden was the president. This is kind of fun. You know, I've been talking about how the United States is kicking butt and taking names in Iran. And most of them are, are Mohammed Ali. Mohammed Naini, spokesman for Iran's Revolutionary Guards, was killed in strikes carried out by the United States and Israel. There you go. So the spokesperson for the IRCG and, and also the, the guy who was in, involved in the, the homegrown terrorists, you know, they exported and all that. They, that they were killed. They were killed. So there's, there's that. So some big victories here, you know, and I was on with John Fredericks. John Fredericks is a bunch of radio stations. He's a great guy. And, and he carries my show on all of his radio stations. He has a nationally syndicated radio show. And, and he's starting to, you know, like so many, you know, listen, we concerned about Iran, how it's going to affect the midterms, obviously. And I've been seeing a lot of people, you know, going, oh, my God, here it goes. Past six weeks, you're going to lose the midterms. You're going to lose all magic support. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Here's the deal. Right now, things in Iran are going as planned. They are going as planned. We are three weeks in tomorrow. All right, three weeks in to taking down one of the most powerful missile batteries, air forces in the world in a country of 100 million people. Alright, so we've been at this for two weeks and, you know, almost three weeks, I guess. But here's the deal. Here is the deal. Remember when Margaret Thatcher told Ronald Reagan, don't get wobbly. Remember that? That's what you need to remember because everybody's talking about, Donald Trump's going to send in troops. Donald Trump's going to do this. Donald Trump's going to do. When was a mega listeners, I'm talking to you right now. When did he let you down? When did he lie to you? When did he not fulfill a promise he made to you? Never. Never, never. When did he not fulfill a promise, a campaign promise that he made? Win. Tell me now. None. None. The only issue I've ever had with Donald Trump is bringing down the national debt. That's the only issue I've had with Donald Trump. But look what he's doing. He's cut like over 10% of government employees. That's a good thing. I know government employees, trust me, you're better off. The private sector, it's, it's, you know, the government work sometimes really sucks. I'm not saying it all does, but certainly a lot of it does. So you look for a new opportunity. There you go. There you go. There you go. So don't get wobbly. Stay supporting our troops. Their morale depends on it. They need to know we love them, we care them, care for them, and we're fricking proud of the job they're doing, even if Democrats aren't, you know, because Democrats don't matter. There you go. All right, kids, it's a Friday on the Rob Carson Show. Let's take a break and come back. Don't go anywhere.
Show Announcer/Producer
The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com listen for details.
Political Analyst or Commentator
And this is one of those, because just take a look here. MAGA, GOP view of Trump approve 100%. 100%. If you are a member of MAGA and the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove.
Rob Carson
There you go. There you go. So I Remember about a week ago, they were saying the MAGA coalition was crumbling. I know I started the show with this yesterday. I just want to say it again. Don't get wobbly. Don't get wobbly. I told you. We have to overwhelm the left with positivity. We have to overwhelm them with joy and patriotism. Not the fake joy they tried to espouse, even though the most joyless people in the world, the Democrat Party. And then there's this, by the way, you know, you got the midterms coming up. Oh, my God. Iran's gonna kill it. Everybody's gonna leave. The world's on that crap. No, no, no, no. Again, the Democrat Party is still doing a death spiral into hell.
Jim Jordan
How are voters feeling about Democrats right now?
Political Analyst or Commentator
Yeah, I mean, Democrats in the minds of the American public are lower than the Dead Sea. What are we talking about here? Well, let's take a look.
Rob Carson
The net approval, and the public knows the DHS is their fault.
Political Analyst or Commentator
Waiting for Democrats in Congress. You said a Kate ball in the
Rob Carson
TSA, the lowest ever.
Political Analyst or Commentator
Look at this. Overall, they are 55 points underwater. Their approval rating is south of 20%.
Rob Carson
And what have they done to improve that since that poll came out a couple weeks ago? Nothing. Nothing. Just opposed Donald Trump. Just opposed the war effort. Day number one, Chris Murphy said it was a disaster, even though we vaporized the ayatollah in minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, and then there's this Also, you know, 2028's coming up here in a couple years. I don't know why we're sitting around mentally, you know, playing with ourselves about 2028, because it is three years away,
Political Analyst or Commentator
all running, and just a downright clown car at this point on the Democratic side. I mean, just take a look here. Top choices for the 2028 Dem. Perez nominee. You have a leader, but it's not really a clear leader. It's within the margin area. You have Newsom at 19%. Then you have former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18%. Quite a weak number for her given that, of course, she was the nominee last time around. He put a judge, who of course is run before 13% sure. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez at 12%.
Rob Carson
Sure.
Political Analyst or Commentator
This is just a total clown car.
Rob Carson
There you go. It is a clown car. It is a clown car because Gavin Newsom, by the way, is a complete criminal. Gavin Newsom is fading fast, by the way. And. And now apparently they. In California, there may be, according to Steve Hilton, half a trillion dollars of
Caller or Guest (possibly Tony Kennett)
fraud, a Total disgrace. Gavin Newsom, if it's been fixed, then why is the money still going out? He says it was fixed in 2021. Those payments were from 2024.
Rob Carson
Right.
Caller or Guest (possibly Tony Kennett)
He's just lying and gaslighting as he is on every single issue. And the truth is that California has got more fraud than the rest of America put together. We estimate now that the total fraud in the last five years in California, $434 billion.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Caller or Guest (possibly Tony Kennett)
What are they doing about it? Nothing. Because they have total contempt for taxpayers. They don't consider it that it's our money that they're stealing away.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And so when. When Nick Shirley exposes billions of dollars in fraud, Gavin Newsom goes online and calls him a pedophile for going to daycare centers in Minneapolis run by Somalians that don't have any kids in them. See, Nick Shirley goes up to the daycare center and says, hey, where's the kids? And Gavin Newsom made fun of him, like, as a pedophile. What a sick piece of crap he is. I mean, honestly, slick ladies. Let me ask him. If Gavin Newsom were, you know, you're single and Gavin Newsom was hanging out at the bar, would you go home with that or would you even consider a date with that? Because, I mean, he's slick and everything, but he is such a sleazeball supreme. Right. Wouldn't your spidey sense kind of go, no, No, I don't think so. This guy's a creep. I might catch a disease. I'm. Something weird is going to happen if I hang out with this guy. But honestly, he is a. He's a very bad person. He is not a good person. Not whatsoever. As far as midterms are concerned. Jim Jordan, it come down to this, and like I said, all of these things are going to change. Where's afford? Affordability? Where's affordability? It was going to be about affordability. Literally, they were saying, the election this year, the midterm last year, they were saying it was going to be affordability. It's not there anymore. The price of gas has gone up because we're kicking Iran's rear end. There you go. That's going to happen. But where is that gone? So everybody's saying, oh, it's going to be this that causes the Republicans to lose or this that causes the Republicans to lose. Here's what a lot of the battle is going to be. This is Jim Jordan.
Jim Jordan
Yeah. And I think that that'll be a key issue in this campaign. I think I always Say not all Democrats are crazy. The left that controls their party is. And I think so much of this midterm election is going to be. They're crazy. We're not. And go tell the voters, if you want to go back to an open border, if you want men and women's sports, if you want to defund the police, if you want to abolish ice, if you want sanctuary cities, if you want all these crazy.
Rob Carson
If you want green energy nonsense and the price of gas going through the
Jim Jordan
ceiling policies, vote for the Democrats. If you want common sense, stick with the Republican.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What did I say 2024 was about? Returning to common sense from nonsense.
Jim Jordan
I think that'll be a key element in this midterm election. And we have to just go tell the voters, remind the voters how crazy it was four years under Joe Biden and all the things they did, including just last fall, not Joe Biden, but the Democrats shutting the government down for 43 days and now 30 some days, while we're in a conflict with Iran, while we know what the department.
Rob Carson
There you go, There you go. All of that stuff, all of that stuff. We've got all of that. They're over here saying it's affordability. Did you just hear what he said? He just unloaded a magazine of, you know, bleep on the Democrats right there. Because the Democrat Party haven't learned anything from 2024. They just think that if they yell out enough about Donald Trump and they say that the war is a failure, that it'll be repeated and eventually it will impact. And yes, it does affect Donald Trump's popularity, but it's not enough to win elections. Here's Mark Wayne Mullen, by the way, on the midterm election, Chuck Schumer, in
Mark Wayne Mullen
a private meeting with other Democrat senators, said that if you'll just wait till after. After the election, I'll release the handcuffs. I added the handcuff part, but basically I'm paraphrasing what he said. The reason why is because they're afraid their base wouldn't show up today in Virginia, New Jersey and New York. So it's been about politics. It's never been about policy. It's been about holding the American people as leverage points, regardless of the damage they cause to the livelihood of these individuals. But elections are more important than the Dems because why they know their polls is at the very bottom than it's ever been for the Democrat party.
Rob Carson
Yeah, 100%. And you think this TSA shutdown is going to. Is going to help. No, it's not. It's making it terrible. And I just want to say to the TSA agents, I'm so sorry. I wish I had the kind of money that I could just take a, you know, a pocket full of hundred dollar bills and give every one of the TS agents who are working there working their butts off doing nothing and just hand them out, you know, just help them out a little bit. I don't even know where to start as far as helping TSA agents. I would do a GoFundMe, but there's so many TSA agents, you know, what are you going to do? I don't know. If you know somebody who works for the tsa, you might help them out, see what you can do. Maybe you got a TSA agent living next door. You can take them over some food. You know, you can. You can say, hey, do you need this? Can I help you? Can you cover your utilities? If you've got a little extra, Maybe that's what we need to do. Maybe we need to find people who are suffering right now and who are out of work right now, or at least working and not getting paid and do something for them, because I, you know, it has not got to be easy to be a TSA agent. It's got to kind of suck. It's a hell of a grind. And you're always getting, you know, yelled at, and people are saying, oh, look what a pain in the butt you are doing all this. And they got to follow orders, no matter how ridiculous they are. They don't want to take your moose and throw it in the garbage. They don't want to throw your toothpaste in the garbage. That's what they got to do. But every day it's like, oh, I just bought this toothpaste, you know, and then they got to sit there and take it. And it's the same grind every day, except for, you know, you might change positions, go over and work aisle number three over here. It's not the easiest thing in the world. So, you know, maybe that's how we. We get going. We asked somebody who works for the tsa. Do you need a little help? Can I buy. Can I buy this week's groceries for you? A couple hundred dollars? Maybe I can do that for you. I don't know. That might be a nice way to start. Tony Kenneth, the Daily Signal, joins us next. We're talking about Operation Epic Fury, among other things. And he's always awesome. One of the unusual Suspects on a Friday. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. 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 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 ghost bed. 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. 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. Of course, no. Japan and US are very good friends.
Japanese Prime Minister or Commentator
But one question. Why it is interesting to tell US
Rob Carson
allies in Europe and Asia, like Japan, about the war before attacking Iran. So Donald Trump's being asked by this guy with the Japanese prime minister there, why didn't you tell the allies about the military operation? So we are very confused about Japanese.
Show Announcer/Producer
Well, one thing, you don't want to signal too much. You know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Show Announcer/Producer
Because we wanted to surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay. Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay.
Rob Carson
Oh my God. It's never going to get better than this. It's never going to get better than this. Tony Kenneth, Daily Signal WIBC radio. Lovely Indianapolis. That is just one of my favorite favorite line of the last month. Donald Trump telling the Japanese premiere, you guys should have told us about Pearl Harbor.
Tony Kennett
And even better is watching Jake Tapper and the CNN morons immediately go, well actually that prime minister wasn't born for 20 tomar year. I sent Jake a direct message and said, hey, way to go Sherlock. You've cracked the case.
Rob Carson
Oh my God.
Tony Kennett
We have journalists like these.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Tony Kennett
Incredible line from the president. Apt correct. Good stuff.
Rob Carson
I'm loving it, dude. You know like the Saudi Amerik. The Saudi Arabian prince comes over Donald Trump, high fives him and slaps him on the back. You don't do that. You don't. You know what I think? I think maybe there's some Chuck Norris in Donald Trump. There's a little bit of Chuck Norris in Donald Trump that he does this, you know, and, you know, he passed away and. Can I give you. Can I give you some good Chuck Norris jokes here real quick? I'm going to be sharing these throughout the show, and I don't think we've all heard of. Okay, you ready? Here we go. Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice. Chuck Norris can speak. Chuck Norris can speak braille. Here's what I've heard before. Chuck Norris can do a wheelie on a unicycle. Chuck Moore. Chuck Norris once won Connect Four and three moves champions are the breakfast of Chuck Norris.
Tony Kennett
Now, you heard what happened at the hospital this morning, though, right?
Rob Carson
No, what happened?
Tony Kennett
So he woke up briefly from death, corrected an error on the death certificate, shook hands with the doctor, and then died again, just to make sure.
Rob Carson
Fantastic. I'm gonna do a couple more here, and then we'll move on to the news of the day. Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors. The dark is afraid of Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris makes onions cry. Death once had a near Chuck Norris experience. And Chuck Norris could strangle you with a cordless phone. Oh, my God, What a life. 86 years old, man, you know, you gotta. You gotta, like, live in the 86, you know? Nothing wrong with living to 86. Kicking butt all the way, you know. There you go. So anyway, let's talk.
Tony Kennett
Who needed. I'm sorry, he's the first man who needed to be hospitalized. And so he built the hospital first.
Rob Carson
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I want to play a little audio for you. This is interesting. John Ratcliffe, the. The head of the CIA, under oath, talking about if Iran was a threat,
John Ratcliffe
has Iran plotted assassination attempts against Americans on American soil? Yes. Was Iran developing a nuclear weapon prior to our military action last June? And did Iran remain committed to developing a nuclear weapon the lead up to this conflict?
Rob Carson
Yes. So I want to clarify on that because there's been much talk about. About a fatwa against the development of a nuclear weapon.
John Ratcliffe
You come back to that. One second, let me finish.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Tony Kennett
Okay.
John Ratcliffe
If left unchecked, do you think Iran would have the ability to develop missiles capable of reaching the United States?
Rob Carson
Yes.
John Ratcliffe
Did Israel force the U.S. s hand and make us take action, as some have claimed?
Tony Kennett
No.
John Ratcliffe
Director Gabbard, do you agree with the CIA director assessment on that last question in particular.
Rob Carson
Okay, there you go. There. That's the, the answer of the question there. Was Iran a threat? Dear God in heaven, it was a threat. What?
Tony Kennett
Sorry, I'm going to level with you here. This is just, just me to you. Very, very personally. I actually kind of like a lot of these idiots that are running around trying to say that, oh, this is all some Israeli Jewish plot or whatever. Because our show numbers, when they have been abandoning Megyn Kelly, abandoning Tucker Carlson, abandoned, our numbers have been skyrocketing. The good news and again, just the accurate on the point data that we've been providing. So everyone else, look, you want to go crazy and you want to send my numbers to the moon, you keep on swinging, sweetheart.
Rob Carson
Yeah. You know, I got to tell you, I was looking at the article yesterday about the news media actually lying, lying about the operation, and one of the big lies was so robust. I know, but, you know, it's. I guess it's really not a difference because they lie or they just cover up or they obfuscate, but one of the big lies. And where did it go? Where did it go? Where did the drone strikes on California story go?
Tony Kennett
Hey, what, what happened to the World War three? I was told that Russia and China and the BRICS alliance was never going to stand for such frivolity.
Rob Carson
Did you notice, though, that NATO at least the, the, the Mark Rudy. I like Mark Rudy. I think he's pretty cool, actually. He's talking about getting behind this. You know, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan and Canada will join us to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. They're not really committing any boats yet, but they have issued a strongly worded statement.
Tony Kennett
But, hey, wait a minute though. I was told that they had just given the United States a middle finger, though, right away I was told that Trump was a big dummy. Wait a minute. Are you telling me that right after the media got out ahead of their skis and said that, that NATO was, was standing against the United States and all of this that they recognized. Oh, gee, wait a second here. Maybe, maybe we actually do at least suggest a little bit of effort in keeping some of the resources that we have flowing through Hormuz moving?
Rob Carson
Well, you know, and again, Donald Trump is kind of like, he hasn't really said it, but he's, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna do our best to keep the straight open, but, you know, hey, we're, I mean, we don't get our oil through there, so maybe made them kind of wake Up a little bit. They got the A10 warthog. I thought, I thought they were sandbagging the A10 warthog, but it is, it is working right now. General Kane, Raisin Kane talked about the, the A10 warthog. Here he is talking about, you know, taking it out of mothballs.
General Kane Raisin
The A10 warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz, man. In addition, ah, 64 Apaches have joined the fight on the southern flank and they continue to work on the southern. And that includes some of our allies who are using Apaches to handle one way attack drones.
Rob Carson
There you go. That's kind of cool. Got the A10 going. You ever seen one of those things? Man, oh man.
Political Analyst or Commentator
Oh, absolutely.
Tony Kennett
I've actually seen some of our helicopters perform anti drone measures before. As you know, the anti drone stuff is kind of a specialty of mine.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Tony Kennett
And so when I, when I look at this kind of stuff, by the way, I actually reached out to Senator Jim Banks of Indiana yesterday and I said, hey, maybe we start producing a 10 warthogs again or give them a little bit of an upgrade. We haven't produced one since 84, but a factory right here in Indiana. I want more A10s right now.
Rob Carson
Why not an A10 upgrade? What the hell? You know what else I'd like to see? Maybe they could start making 69 chargers again. How about that? Just upgrade them a little bit. What the hell?
Tony Kennett
I mean, hey, if I might finally get my own Toyota Hilux instead of sending them to the Middle East, I'll be a very happy man indeed.
Rob Carson
All right, Tony, Kenneth, we got a lot more I want to cover on the other side, including the Japanese premieres. Visit Joe Kent. I want your opinion on Joe Kent, by the way. And then James Comey Trump whipped out his subpoena and so he's feeling the heat. We'll have that on the other side of the break. Let's come back. This is the Rob Carson show.
Jim Jordan
Listen.

Japanese Prime Minister or Commentator
Well, history proves that unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation. So you have no choice. If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind not to see that the democracies led by the United States have to reassert their will to defend themselves and to oppose their enemies in time while there's still time before the jarring gong of danger wakes them up and wakes them up too late. This is where we are now. The fact that people don't see that, the fact that a lot of the news media are harking on a lot of fake news but also a lot of, a lot of short sightedness and do not see the historic period and the historic struggle that we are engaged in now doesn't obviate these truths.
Rob Carson
Yeah, yeah we, we were threatened by Iran. How do we know? I don't know. Because of the body count, because of all the terror over the last 47 friggin years. And yet the Democrat party would rather have another generation of young women or women in general in Iran subjected to slavery for their life because Donald Trump is going to happen under Donald Trump that they're free. I mean honestly. Tony Kennett Day one Chris Murphy said after we vaporized the Ayatollah in five minutes he said that it was a disaster. I am so done with these Democrats on this crowd. I am only here to promote our military because they're kicking butt.
Tony Kennett
I mean obviously, I mean this is what's one of the weirdest things that I've seen is that people who understand these things get eaten by this weird mind virus who want to walk around and say AHU is secret in the orchestra and it's just this nonsense that we hear. They have a scoreboard charting zero. They have been wrong every single time. I'm waiting for the first time they're
Rob Carson
right on anything, you know, but, but here's the thing, you people are getting a little wobbly because we're, you know, almost three weeks into destroying the. One of the, you know, largest missile caches, a source of terror for 47 years, with one of the largest air forces in the world, a very, very low casualty count on our side gutting their leadership. And, you know, three weeks into this thing, and people are like, oh, if it goes six weeks, we're going to lose the midterms. I'm like, you know what? When is Donald Trump. Trump lied to you and not done what he said he was going to do. What did Donald Trump tell you? He said, we're going to get this done in four to six weeks. You know why? Because his commander said, sir, we can do this in four to six weeks. And he said, okay, let's do it then. There you go. Tony, what do you think?
Tony Kennett
I mean, again, the silliest thing right now that I've heard amidst all the midterm conversation is that the congressional ballot, like the generic congressional ballot, Democrats lead is shrinking. A couple of weeks ago they were up seven, then they were down to four. Now they're two in the lead in that general congressional. That's in the middle of this action, in the middle of this operation. So if Trump swings this through and we end up controlling Carg island and then we end up controlling the export of oil to China, and all of a sudden crude is $60 a barrel. Yeah, guys, the economy's gonna look a little bit different on the side of that.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And honestly, I think the American people are turned off by tearing down our military. Although there's a no poll that says only. Only 6% of Democrats support the action in Iran. They can't even celebrate the possibility of freedom from the Iranian people. They can't even possibility that Cuba is going to be free. I mean, these are Berlin Wall moments happening before us. But the Democrat Party is so dour and awful and they're doing their death spiral into hell. You know, I just say, honestly, I prefer to overwhelm people with joy and patriotism. And then I'll handle the mockery, ridicule, satire, and let Donald Trump handle the butt kicking. What do you think about Joe Kent?
Tony Kennett
I don't really care for men who politicize the deaths of their wives. I don't care for that at all. All suggesting. Well, actually, it wasn't ISIS that killed her. It was Israel that did it. No. Disgusting liar. And you are a feckless coward. A man who goes back on the oath that he swore I don't care for that at all. I know a lot of guys that are currently serving who have seen his, his nonsense. And there's really quite a negative sentiment among veterans and those actively serving, among those who have gone. And again, again, actively leaking for months. They had him out of various meetings and things.
Rob Carson
Yep.
Tony Kennett
And again, we've been looking for one of the leakers in that side of things for a while. And there you go. I mean, so he's got everything that's coming to him. Again. I love watching Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly saddle their, their horse to him. They can have him.
Rob Carson
I'm trying to figure out why Tucker and Megan are like this. The otherwise smart people who. I used to enjoy watching Tucker. I even paid for his pod on Spotify. But I think part of it is that they are not grounded in common sense and reality from like a Midwestern upbringing like you and I have had. And I do mean this, and I'm not saying you guys on the coast can't have it, but, but they've, you know, Tucker is a blue blood. Tucker is a rich kid who, who wore, you know, a uniform and a jacket to school in primary school and high school. And, and so when, when push comes to shove, you know, he is willing to, he just loses his common sense on things like what is your theory about either one of those?
Tony Kennett
So I, first of all, I think that Meghan, it's all her ego. I'm sorry, I, you know, you can call the sexist. I don't care. When Meghan's immediate defense to anything now is complaining about the penis of her opponent. That's like middle aged liberal woman stuff. That is always what she's resorted to. Fortunate, because I've been very friendly with Megan in the past, but she's a coward. And with Tucker, he's an elitist, of course, but also, again, Tucker, he fell prey to his own legend. Anytime you have a broadcaster or personality and they get obsessed with themselves, this is the kind of crap that happens.
Rob Carson
Yeah, I, I don't know. It's kind of like self, self immolating your career, you know, because I don't
Tony Kennett
want to listen to Aaron Bushnell maneuver.
Rob Carson
Yeah, who's. I don't need Aaron Bushnell. I'm not.
Tony Kennett
He was the guy that set himself on fire outside of the Israeli.
Rob Carson
Oh, wow.
Tony Kennett
Protest for the ages.
Rob Carson
Only you would know that.
Tony Kennett
I think I'm the only one left in the country who remembers it. And that's only to knock his ass.
Rob Carson
There you go. Speaking of Which Chuck Norris could kick his ashes. Thank you very much. Yeah, yeah. Chuck Norris can tie his shoes with his feet. The quickest way to Chuck Norris heart is through with Chuck Norris fists. There you go. When Chuck Norris does a push up, he's pushing the earth down. Thank you very much.
Tony Kennett
Very good.
Rob Carson
Classic, every one of them, brother. I appreciate you. What do you got going on? You got your show. Tell everybody where they can watch your glorious podcast, your video podcast guest.
Tony Kennett
Oh, that's right over on YouTube.com daily signal. You can find our stuff there. And tonight, well, we're going all into a little something I hinted about. The Chinese crisis has Vietnam next. Cuba collapsing. Vietnam's next.
Rob Carson
Wow, that would be epic. That's gigantic. Again. What time is it?
Tony Kennett
One years later.
Rob Carson
Wow, that is unbelievable. So, okay, you suppose Jane, Jane Fonda will go over there and sit on an anti aircraft gun battalion?
Tony Kennett
Oh, well, flip my wrist.
Rob Carson
That might cause him to collapse. All right, Tony. Thanks, brother. I appreciate you have a glorious weekend.
Tony Kennett
Okay, Rob, you're the best.
Rob Carson
All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. All right, so I got a new parody from Jim Gossett about Joe Kent. We're gonna play that in one moment. It's, it's awesome because you, you know, Joe Kent or I should say Jim, gossip is amazing. Golden silver sell off accelerates as inflation fears grip global markets. This is perfect. When other people panic, you move in with a cool head and say, I'm going to buy some gold. I'm going to buy some gold. Gold and silver joined a broad sellout on Thursday. Sell off I should say on Thursday. Joe Ken is a sellout. Metal shedding around 5 to 10% respectively. Now what does this mean? Opportunity. Opportunity for you to buy in while it's down 45, 80. Is it 4,000, 580 today? 4,000, 580. It was 5,600 in January. So you're going to save $1,000 an ounce. Come on, people, think about it. Get the ball rolling. At least get some information from Birch Gold. Just get some information. Just text my name, Rob to 989-898. Talk with the Birch Gold specialist and they'll give you the, they'll give you the download. They're not here to say, oh no, you just want to buy gold. Don't pay any attention to whatever's going on there. No, no, no. They're going to tell you, hey, here's where we're going. Here's what we're thinking. You know, silver, gold, whatever. Silver. By the way, silver's down. Silver went up to 118. Silver's way down. So silver super affordable. So here you go. You've got an opportunity. An opportunity. Don't let it go. Text my name. Rob 298-9898. That's Rob 29898 for Birch. This is from Jim Gassett on the Rob Carson Show.
Show Announcer/Producer
Trouble. Joe can't send trouble getting investigated. The FBI, they want to take a peek. What you been leaking records of his correspondence. They will seek to see if Joe Kent's guilty of a leak.
Rob Carson
Gotta watch those leaks, especially when you get older.
Show Announcer/Producer
Scrambling. What Joe Kent is scrambling. So far, his explanation has has been weak.
Rob Carson
Explain yourself.
Show Announcer/Producer
The outlook for his future is quite bleak. Experts say that Joe is up a creep.
Rob Carson
Nice, nice, nice.
Show Announcer/Producer
Peril. Joe faces peril. He could be arrested in a week.
Rob Carson
Come on.
Show Announcer/Producer
Giovanni raised eyebrows when he offered his critique.
Rob Carson
Beautiful.
Show Announcer/Producer
His Joe Kent guilty of a Lee dude.
Rob Carson
That is epic.
Show Announcer/Producer
Epic.
Rob Carson
Jim Gossett. My gosh. Just go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy to support Jim Gossett. 10 bucks a month, 20 bucks a month, 30 bucks a month. Whatever you want to give them. Two song parodies a day. Chuck Norris used to beat up his shadow because it was following him too close. It now stands 15ft behind down. Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding. God bless Chuck Norris at his 86 years on this planet. I think the greatest thing we could do right now is to celebrate his life, not to mourn his loss. How does that sound? I think it sounds pretty good. All right, so we've got Mary Walter coming up. We have got Jim Comey getting subpoenaed because, you know, there was a grand conspiracy against Donald Trump. There's no doubt about that. By the way, Victor Davis hands some very wise and amazing words echoing Churchill about our President Donald Trump. Our number two is right ahead. Don't go anywhere.
