Donald Trump (3:50)

When I hear the uk, which was sort of considered the Rolls Royce of allies, right. When you say they were the owners and they were going to be there, and I say it would be really helpful if you'd send over a couple of ships and if you have some minesweepers, which they do, be very helpful. And the Prime Minister is a nice man, he says, well, I'd like to ask my team, I said, you don't have to worry about a team. You don't have a team. You're the Prime Minister, you can make a decision. It's very disappointing.

Rob Carson (4:20)

Yeah. In the meantime, Israel sells it said it's killed top Iranian intelligence chief Ali Larry Johnny, now Larry Johnny apparently was taunting Donald Trump walking around the streets of Tehran about a week ago. He not walking anymore. He's flat like cardboard Ayatollah. This is new from Jim Gossett on the Rob Carson Show.

Jim Gossett (4:41)

Another supreme leader was taken out today. The Israeli Air Force always gets their way.

Rob Carson (4:50)

We keep losing, we keep losing more men.

Jim Gossett (4:53)

Our losses are insane. We would surrender if we had half a brain. Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust and another one's gone and another one's gone Another one bites the dust soon there will be no one left Another one Bites the dust A little Haran Johnny is with us

Rob Carson (5:21)

no more he's toast.

Jim Gossett (5:22)

He just bit the dust Like Khomeini before our navy has been destroyed, our army will we face obliteration. But what else is new? Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust and another one's gone and another one's gone Another one bites the dust we are dropping just like flies I'm about to bite the dust.

Rob Carson (5:53)

There you go. That is Jim Gassig. Jim Gassett, brand new from Jim. If you want to help him out, go to patreon patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy patreon.com Jim Gosslett, comedy here's Donald Trump yesterday talking about Iran and why he pulled the trigger, despite people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson saying we didn't need to.

Donald Trump (6:19)

I had an obligation to do this. I didn't want to. I go to an excursion. I don't want to make this journey. We had the highest stock market in history, but that's a very small thing compared to allowing them to have. You want to see a stock market go down, start letting them hit you with nukes. If they had that bomb at either time five years ago or seven months ago, if they had that bomb, that bomb would have been used almost immediately.

Rob Carson (6:48)

Yeah, again, you know, you're on the right side of history when things like this are said. For instance, whenever the we're over the target. What does Ms. Now used to be? MSNBC or cnn, what do they, what do they do? What label do they pin on you when you are, when you are winning, when you're on the right side of history, whether it be voter id, whether it be conflict with Iraq, what is the thing that they say? What is the thing that, yeah, you're right, they say it's racist. Ms. Now is now saying that Operation Epic Theory is racist.

Unidentified Commentator (7:22)

Really disturbing in the messaging around the war recently and aim, and I really want your thoughts on this in particular is some of the language and the description of their opponent. Sort of the way they seem to create this image of the Iranians and all of their proxies or allies.

Rob Carson (7:40)

Now, just the terrible people that have been in charge for 47 years and committed all the acts of terror and

Unidentified Commentator (7:45)

everything, the sort of imagery that they conjure up. And I think that it takes a certain amount of arrogance and I'm also going to say it, a bit of racism to constantly talk about people like they are savages. That is a word that we have

Rob Carson (7:58)

heard because there are Iranian people who are not members of the regime who maybe are expats who live around the world. We're not calling them those words. We are calling the people in charge of Iran the savages. Because they are. Okay? Because they are. Honestly, this is. This is the Democrat Party once again. You know, they would have complained when Hitler committed suicide. They would have. They would have said, look what you did. You caused Hitler to kill his girlfriend and then kill himself. Hitler was, you know, or they would have said something like, you know, Germany is not a threat. Germany is not a threat to Europe. I mean, just because they invaded Poland and stuff. Honestly, they're not a threat. We don't need to be involved. That's what your Democrat party of today would would say about Operation Epic Fury. There you go. Meanwhile, as Iranian proxies who've been led into our country over the last four years because Joe Biden. Biden opened the southern border to our country's enemies, without a doubt, did that intentionally. The DHS has been defunded and the TSA consequently is, you know, TSA employees are working without a paycheck. Among other things. Many of them are having to quit their jobs. The TSA now, by the way, and this is backfiring on Democrats, accusing Democrats and their shutdown for absurdly long security lines. The official account for the DHS reposted a video on Sunday noting that there are security lines out the door. Americans are now missing their flights because of the Democrat shutdown of the dhs. Now, generally, government employees don't usually side with. With Republicans. They don't. They. They vote almost wholesale. 90 plus percent in the favor of Democrats. But look, this isn't working for Democrats. Quote, their political stunt is forcing patriotic TSA officers to work without pay, leading to financial hardship, absences, crippling staff shortages. Enough is enough. Democrats must fund DH Ness. Now here is a ts, a spokesman talking about the difficulties the Democrat Party is putting them through.

TSA Spokesperson (10:08)

Requiring employees to work without pay is unconstitutional. And the financial consequences of this shutdown, damaged credit, missed payments, and lost housing will ever. Will remain ever after the government reopens. This is not a partisan issue. TSA employees did not cause this shutdown. Yet they are bearing the burden of congressional inaction. To be quite frank, officers are off. Yeah, and we're not just talking about here in Atlanta. We're talking about nationwide. The officers are off. They want this to end. They're ready to get back to there. Some, some, some normalcy or some consistency within their lives. There have been, has been an uptick in officers taking on other make trying to find other ways to make their ends meet. Whether it's uber, instacart, Lyft or whatever that may be.

Rob Carson (10:56)

That's hell. It's hell. I mean it really is. And the thing is, completely unavoidable or completely avoidable. The Democrat party wants to keep illegals in the country. The reason they did that is because they, they flooded the country with illegals because they realized that, that people were leaving Democrat run states and they needed to keep the, the voter rolls full. They needed to keep the census full. So represent, even though California and other states have bled their population, did you know that every state that Kamala Harris won in 2024 has no voter ID? Did you know that? Yeah, you got to kind of wonder. No, you don't. The reason why is because the Democrat party expects illegals to vote and loads them up with all sorts of large. Yes, this is Byron York talking about how the failed immigration policy of Joe Biden has left our country filled with its enem.

Byron York (11:56)

This is a huge failure of US immigration policy. We have essentially imported some of the world's worst conflicts to play out in the streets of the United States. And then on some occasions we give naturalized citizenship to people who are headed to commit terrorist crimes. The old dominion killer, naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone. The attacker at the Michigan synagogue, naturalized citizen from Lebanon. The Austin, Texas.

Rob Carson (12:26)

Who would have seen this coming? Oh yeah, you and I, the last four years when Joe Biden was the

Byron York (12:30)

president shooter, naturalized citizen from Senegal. This is crazy. And by the way, the old Dominion killer, after he was naturalized, was tried and convicted for material support of ISIS and not removed from the United States.

Rob Carson (12:46)

Yeah, we said this was happening. I said that a trojan horse had been stuffed with our country's enemies. They allowed military males that come across the southern border, Military age males from all sorts of places, not brown skinned people coming across to pick lettuce. Okay. Which is what democrats always say. No, no. This was wholesale invasion of our country by our nation's enemies. And that has brought us to this point.

Byron York (13:11)

You know what was different about the Biden influx was that people who crossed illegally into the United States over the U. S. Mexico border were not just from mexic, they were not just from Central America or even South America. They were from all over the world. And large numbers of them were allowed to stay unvetted. Now if you remember the 2020 Democratic primary race, it was essentially a bidding contest over who would be softest on immigration and Joe Biden won that contest. And I do think that that's going to be a real, real issue to watch in the 2028 Democratic primaries to see how candidates will reckon with what happened under Biden and vow not to make it happen again.

Rob Carson (13:55)

All right, we're going to take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

Donald Trump (14:00)

The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was, was a new president.

Rob Carson (14:15)

There you go. And we were screaming at the top of our lungs that they were flying illegals into the country. They were bringing them across the southern border. Remember when there were like tens of thousands of them under overpasses in Texas? Do you remember that? Do you remember the bodies being left along the, the Trail of Tears coming up from through the Darien Gap? The, the, the buzzards were so well fed, they became fat. I mean, this is all real. I followed this day by day, screaming, why are they doing this to us? Why are they doing this to us? And now we know they were trying to tear down the country and destroy the country. And now our country is full of its enemies, by the way, big time. It's full of its enemies right now. This is why you've got the call to prayer, the Islamist call to prayer in Times Square. This is why you have an Islamist as the mayor of New York City. This is why you have these Sharia law attempting to be pop it up in places like Dearborn, Michigan. This 25 Years After 9 11. 25 Years After 9 11. This is Jason Chaffetz talking about what needs to happen now with people have, because our country, remember when it used to be you came to this country to assimilate and be a part of this incredible, incredible nation, this incredible engine of individual and economic liberty. Now the dregs of the world come here. Donald Trump warned about this in his first term. And they called him Islamophobic. And they called him this phobia. You can't call bleep hole countries. Well, yeah, there's a lot of bleep hole countries around the world. And now our country has allowed these people to become naturalized citizens, swearing no allegiance to America, not promising to live the American dream, but to either enrich themselves off the largesse of our charity or move in to take over our country and overrun our Constitution. And I gotta tell you, I ain't gonna let that happen in my lifetime. Are you Jason Chaffetz?

Jason Chaffetz (16:21)

We can be exceptionally stupid and we can Be ignorant. And the left has wanted this. They poured millions of people into this country that illegally. But a lot of this legal immigration has also been problematic. How can you not remember what happened at the Boston bombers at the Boston Marathon? We totally forget that. Yeah, that's a sonar brothers came here. They came because they were going to be refugees, but then they went back to their country. Obviously they weren't refugees, but nobody followed up. Nobody connected the dots. And so the worst terrorist attacks we've had in this country were because we didn't vet these people, wanted time tie together the loose ends and then kick the people out of this country that weren't telling the truth. They were lying to us. And when you lie to the immigration facilities personnel, they should be kicked out of the country.

Rob Carson (17:14)

Absolutely. 100% denaturalized and removed from the country. Here's Marco Rubio with his thoughts on radical Islam.

Marco Rubio (17:21)

Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the west writ large, but the United States in particular as the greatest evil on the earth. And every chance to have the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history.

Rob Carson (17:39)

Radical Islam, remember when 9, 11 happened and there were so many people who said radical Islam will take decades. It will bide its time, move in and take decades. It's been two and a half decades and look what's happened.

Marco Rubio (17:54)

Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly on the west, on the United States, on Europe. We've seen that progress there as well. And they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran, nation state actions, assassinations, murders, you name it, whatever it takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination of different cultures and societies. That's a clear and imminent threat to them.

Rob Carson (18:30)

100% true. Rob Finnerty last night on Newsmax had a brilliant take on this. You know, we've had four pretty big terrorist attacks, one thwarted pretty well, thankfully, at Old Dominion University and at a synagogue in Michigan. Here is Rob Finnerty on how the media is treating those.

Rob Finnerty (18:46)

Donald Trump attacked Iran with Israel 17 days ago. As a result of those attacks, Muslim fanatics, radical Islamic terrorists, are trying to kill Americans in America, without a doubt. And the left want to pretend that it's not happening. And they're doing this by covering all of these stories like they are individual events and not talking about the bigger picture. And there is a bigger picture. The Sunday shows yesterday, all about gas prices. We just showed you. Martha Raddatz. They are not talking about the rise of radical Islamic terrorism in this country. So much of it, in fact, it is difficult to keep track of, isn't it?

Rob Carson (19:24)

It?

Rob Finnerty (19:24)

Since the war with Iran began, a Muslim terrorist in Austin, Texas opened fire at a bar, killing three people, injuring 18 others. In New York City, two Muslim terrorists drove from Pennsylvania and threw IEDs or homemade bombs at innocent protesters and police officers outside Zoran Mandami's house. Here's what that looked like when CNN described what happened. They claimed, quote, two teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day and joining the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.

Rob Carson (20:02)

We're in the thick of this right now, guys. And people like Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and now Alex Jones, they're abandoning ship. Two and a half weeks into a successful mission, two and a half weeks into turning around a global caliphate, which is what Donald Trump wants to do. Peace is coming to the Middle East. It's going to happen in the Middle East. Persia will be free and they will celebrate with their Israeli brothers and sisters. But anti Semites like Tucker Carlson, they are going to go. They're going to wind up on the wrong side of history. KT McFarland, always awesome, joins us next on the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington, D.C. area, which is like sleeping on the sponge in your sink. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghostbed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging, it's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed, you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson. You are going to love your new ghostbed.

Pete Hexag (21:55)

After 10 years of us talking about this stuff, I think we could safely come to one cold and incontrovertible fact that if it's good for Trump and therefore good for the country, legacy media will reflexively be against it. I mean, let's quote Pete Hexag today, the Secretary of War. He told reporters this. You cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood. You take half truths, spun information, leaked information to cause doubt and manipulate the public mind. I mean, it's really hard to argue with that argument.

Rob Carson (22:26)

Yeah, 100%. And by the way, since Donald Trump was sworn in as president, the Democrat Party has won platform and that is to be contrarian of Donald Trump. No matter what it is, no matter how good it is, whether it be taking out narco drug boat captains and calling them innocent fishermen or, or complaining that Maduro was removed from Venezuela or, or the Ayatollah was vaporized. Honestly, it is, it is breathtaking. And, and it has happened so quickly. On the first day of Operation Epic Fury, they called it a disaster. Chris Murphy called it a disaster. Remarkable times we live in. Strong people. We need one of those strong willed people. Is the one and only KT McFarland. And she joins us on the Newsmax hotline right now. Kt, great to hear from you today. How are you today?

KT McFarland (23:15)

I'm terrific and good to be with you.

Rob Carson (23:17)

Yeah. Have you ever seen anything this breathtaking? I know that we had when we were in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Dick Durbin started saying that the mission was lost when Joe Biden or when George Bush was the president. But that took years. We were in Afghanistan for 20 years. We've never seen this kind of anti war nonsense. But when Donald Trump is in office, two weeks into an enormously successful mission, the Democrat Party and the liberal media are doing everything they can to demean and take down what our military is doing.

KT McFarland (23:52)

Yeah, I mean, I must say I was one of the people extremely critical of the Afghan and Iraq war. But that was several years into it when it's pretty clear we weren't going to win it and it was going to be forever wars. So I was very much against it by about 2005 and ran for the Senate in 2006 in opposition to it. However, this is quite different. And this is, you know, we're on track and succeeding. And I guess I would say for the people who want to retry the forever wars of the George W. Bush or even Barack Obama administration, this is quite different. We're not nation building. We're not trying to make them in our own image. We want them to stop their nuke program. We want them to stop their intercontinental ballistic missile program. We want them to open up the Strait of Hormuz, although that's a less. That's further down on the list of priorities. And for the people, the America Firsters who say, well, we can't have another war. So the critics on the right, I would say, well, you know, America first, there's nothing more essential to preserving the United States and protecting that, you know, making sure that we preempt anybody from having a nuclear capability against us. And then, you know, what on the left to say, well, Trump's not smart enough. He doesn't understand what he's doing. He didn't anticipate moves. He's just not a very great guy. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Come on, guys. This is. There's. So I can go through the 12 sequential steps that have taken us to this point. I can talk to you about what the objectives are, and it is very well thought out, and I think it's ambitious. But at the same time, if President Trump decides that we've achieved our objectives, in other words, we've taken out their nuclear program, we've taken out their missile program, we've taken out their ability to terrorize American interests in the region, we could walk home tomorrow. Now, would they rebuild it? Would they do that? Yeah, of course they would. But then we could go back in tenure and do it again. I think what he's trying to do now is, can you solve this once and for all? They've never. The country of Iran, the regime has never been as weak. If it's ever going to topple and change direction, it's now. But we're not in this forever. And the people who somehow think that George Bush was brilliant or that Barack Obama was brilliant, Joe Biden was brilliant, and Donald Trump just isn't smart enough, I think that they maybe look a little more closely at what's going on.

Rob Carson (26:14)

Well, I have. I have too many friends. I have too many friends. I know charities that were created from George Bush getting us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan for young men who came home quadriplegic, paraplegic, missing limbs, ptsd, all of this. And look what that happened. And of course, Joe Biden unceremoniously withdrawing us and returning us to 9, 10, 2001. This is a completely different ballgame. What did you think today when Joe Kent decided two and a half weeks into this to resign as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center? What did you, what did you think about him joining the ranks of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens?

KT McFarland (26:58)

Well, I mean, he's his own guy. He can make up his own mind, he can make his own decisions. He can leave in the way he does, that's up to him. But the sentiment that he thinks that he's purporting to tap into, which is this America for that, the America that Trump promised no more foreign wars and that this is all about Israel getting us involved in a foreign war. First of all, it's President Trump's decision to do it. And I think that the conclusion President Trump reached several weeks ago when he was still hoping to negotiate with Iran, when it was pretty clear that the Iranian negotiators said look, we're not even going to talk about our enriched uranium and getting rid of it. We have enough for 11 nuclear weapons and that's that. So here we go. And that there was negotiations were not going to make a difference. And then the idea that he bombed the nuclear sites six months ago and that was very effective. And we thought well that's good, we bought some time. But the Iranians immediately, the day after started rebuilding. So there are two things you draw from that you can't negotiate the solution to this. And number two, that Iran will keep even if they don't have bread to feed their children, they will keep try to get nuclear weapons to destroy America. So how do you do it and deal with it once and for all? Again, I think it's America first to say protect the United States from nuclear weapons.

Rob Carson (28:18)

Well then, and also KT and one of the best quotes I've heard in the last couple of weeks is this isn't Donald Trump starting a war with Iran. This is Donald Trump ending a war that Iran started 47 years ago. And that's what this has been. Iran is not a force for good in the world. They are a force of pure evil in the world exist only to spread chaos. They imprison their, their own people, they use their own people. And, and they are nothing more than a radical Islamist like tick on the blood filled tick on the back of the rest of the world. And Donald Trump looked at this opportunity and without, you know, I want to know this Katie, where is this, this Israel is, is forcing Trump's hand coming from because we didn't drop a single bomb on Hamas. Israel did it all on their own. We did not. So why are they saying that Israel somehow forced our hand on this?

KT McFarland (29:21)

I think they're playing tapping into the anti Semitism in the Democrat party. Oh yes, and the anti Semitism certainly in Europe and maybe the anti Semitism on the far right that somehow if you say, if you blame Israel for everything, it gives you, I guess, a cudgel with which to beat Donald Trump. You know, again, I keep going back to all those things you said is true. These are terrible people. They've killed a lot of Americans. They've never had to answer for it. They've been doing evil things throughout the world. Yeah, I get all that and I think all that's quite true. But what's in the national, what preserves the existential existence of the United States? What's an existential threat to us? What could end us as a society? Nuclear war. Nuclear weapons. And that's where I keep going back to that Iran was going to get nuclear weapons and either blackmail the world into doing what it wanted or they're just crazy enough to use nuclear weapons. And the minute they were to use nuclear weapons in the Middle east or wherever they thought they were going to use them, then we are all in a nuclear war.

Rob Carson (30:29)

Yeah. Yeah. KT McFarlane, can you hold through the break? I'd love to know your thoughts on Cuba and what has happened in the last 24 hours with Cuba. I greatly appreciate expertise.

KT McFarland (31:49)

And breaking news into CNN. Cuba's electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. This is according to the country's power operator. It's the first nationwide blackout since the US Effectively shut off the flow of oil to Cuba.

Rob Carson (32:05)

There you go. That is the latest news out of Cuba. And it's, you know, something we all expected Donald Trump playing 3D chess with Venezuela and with Iran. And now Cuba doesn't have any power. And it looks like Cuba has a good chance of falling without a single shot being fired. And it's interesting, KT McFarlane, by the way, Twitter @Real Ktmcfarlane. If Donald Trump were so much into regime change, don't you suppose he would have installed someone in Venezuela? Venezuela would have somebody ready to install in Iran and have somebody ready to install in Cuba. He said nothing about those things, has he?

KT McFarland (32:42)

It's open. I mean, with regard to Venezuela, he got rid of the leader, Maduro, who's facing justice in the American court system, Maduro and his wife. And then President Trump prior to that action and then after that action had worked with existing government officials in Venezuela. So before they took Maduro, they were already talking to leaders in Venezuela, leaders of an opposition movement, leaders within the military and the regime in Venezuela. So that by the time it happened, they had a pretty good idea of who they could work with. Now, did they choose that person in advance? No, they were talking to Delphi Rodriguez, who was the vice president who wouldn't talk to them before. They were talking to Maria Machado, who was a Nobel laureate from Venezuela before. And she wanted to go in and lead. But President Trump didn't really think that she had a lot of support within the country that would, or the capability to know exactly how to run the place. I mean, by running the place, I mean how to keep the water filtration system up, how to get the taxes paid, all the sort of day to day stuff which we wanted nothing to do with now in Cuba. The interesting thing is that when President Obama went to Cuba to recognize Cuba, he was happy with the communists. He didn't, of course, you know, they were great, right? His guys.

Rob Carson (33:59)

Yeah.

KT McFarland (34:00)

And when president, when Marco Rubio, when President Obama did recognize the communist government of Cuba, Marco Rubio came on my Fox show at the time called DefConfrey and we talked about Cuba and why it was a mistake for Obama to do that. And Marco Rubio wrote, staked out the ground and this was 15 years ago of why we should put continuous pressure on Cuba and hope for a different regime. So what's happened? Fast forward. Today. We have been talking to maybe not the caretaker president of Cuba who doesn't seem to want to change. I mean, he still wants the communist government, but we've been talking at unofficial levels with a lot of people in Cuba. And most particularly, and this has been reported widely in the place first us that Marco Rubio is talking to Raul Castro's grandson, beloved grandson, who has no official role but is part of the Castro royal family. And that he and Marco Rubio are having very friendly, number of very friendly talks with each other about what Cuba could do and look like in a post communist regime. So what are we doing with Iran? I'm assuming we're doing a lot of the same things. Maybe not officially, maybe not CNN can report on it, but that we have identified who we can talk to, who we can work with. Because President Trump does not want to run these countries. He wants to make sure that whoever is running them, though, is able to work with us in doing the things that we like. And also to not be a threat to the United States.

Rob Carson (35:32)

In the case of Iran, in typical EU fashion, the. The EU has said they're not going to help us out in the straightest of Hormuz. Not a big surprise. They're the global elite. And, and I think they're gonna regret their choices, to be quite honest. I think Donald Trump has been very deliberate. He hasn't said anything terrible about, like, Keir Starmer. He said he's always an okay guy. But I think the eu, I think NATO countries are gonna really regret not supporting the United States because I think freedom from Iran is coming, freedom from Cuba is coming, and the rest of the world are gonna be standing back watching. I just believe this. I feel that, like, freedom and patriotism is spreading around the world. What are your thoughts on.

KT McFarland (36:16)

What makes me the maddest, Rob, is that the Europeans who benefit from what we're doing in Iran.

Rob Carson (36:22)

Yes.

KT McFarland (36:22)

This is not the Strait of Hormuz, is not American ships and American. It's a trade that goes between the Middle east to Asia to Europe. It's that. That route. So Europe, Middle East, Asia, those are the ships. Those are the countries which ship their. They transit their manufactured goods. They may transit their oil throughout the Strait of Hormuz.

Rob Carson (36:43)

It's not us.

KT McFarland (36:44)

So when we say to them, well, would you help us to open the Strait of Hormuz? And they say, oh, no, no, no, no. Not our fight, not our problem. We want you to do it, America. And indeed, when some of them are reported to trying to be cut separate deals with Iran, with canalists so that their ships can cut through, I think it's the height of hypocrisy. Now, we will get to the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump will get there, but it's not the first on our priority list. We have other things that we're doing now that we're finishing up and maybe we get to Hormuz in a, in a week or two weeks time.

What is your prediction on, what is your prediction on epic fury and when is it going to end, do you suppose?

KT McFarland (37:23)

Oh, I'm, you know, I'm not reading the intelligence and if I were in the Situation Room, I wouldn't talk to you about it.

Rob Carson (37:28)

Yes, of course.

KT McFarland (37:29)

I mean, I think that this is something that's in a matter of, you know, weeks and months. I don't think.

Rob Carson (37:36)

Yep.

KT McFarland (37:36)

I don't think we're going to be having this conversation in six months.

Rob Carson (37:38)

I think I couldn't agree with you. I don't think we're going to have this conversation in three weeks. KT McFarland. But that's just my gut speaking, you know. But I really appreciate you being on today. I appreciate watching you. I hope you don't mind me texting you when I see you on television and saying, hey, you're on tv.

KT McFarland (37:54)

I love, I just really appreciate things, Rob.

Rob Carson (37:58)

It's good. I appreciate knowing you and I appreciate your expertise. KT McFarland. Hey, have a, have a glorious, glorious day. God bless you. We'll talk soon. Okay.

KT McFarland (38:05)

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Rob Carson (38:06)

Oh, you too. Oh, by the way, by the way, are you, you're Scottish or Irish?

KT McFarland (38:10)

Scottish, sweetie. Scottish.

Rob Carson (38:11)

That's what I thought. That's what I thought. All right. All right. Take care. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

Donald Trump (38:25)

I think you better in its own way if it's of, you know, tourism and everything else, it's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change. You know, they won't be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. But, but I think Cuba see the end. You know, all my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba.

Rob Carson (38:44)

Yeah.

Donald Trump (38:45)

When will the United States do it? I do believe I'll be the honor of having the honor of taking Cuba.

Rob Carson (38:54)

Come on.

Donald Trump (38:54)

That'd be a good honor. That's a big honor.

Rob Carson (38:56)

You know, this is the thing we're Witnessing history in a most profound fashion. We've never dreamed of, for instance, Iran falling, the Ayatollah falling. We my entire adult life, you know, I was in junior high when the Ayatollah took over. The. Cuba's always been communist as long as I've been alive. And we are witnessing profound, gigantic change. 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. I was right out of college when that happen happened. And the left and the powers of evil in this country are doing their level best to take our joy and our hope away from us. And it's not going to happen. Right? I'm celebrating with the people of Persia. I'm celebrating with the Kurds. I'm celebrating with the people of Cuba. Cuba libre, baby. As soon as Cuba's free, I'm going to Cuba on vacation. I'm going to get all big old fat Monte Cristo number three and I'm going to smoke it on the beach. There you go. One of my favorite cigars. Monte Cristo number three torpedo. Thank you very much. Cuban made. I'm gonna smoke it on the beach. You bet your butt I'm gonna do that. I waited my whole life to do it. So don't let them get you down. They will regret like the people who stood and threw rocks and, and cast aspersions on Noah as he built the ark. And I'm not saying Donald Trump is a holy figure, but it's the same pathos. The people who sit back and let the heavy lifting be done by somebody else. And when their world turns to crap, they come back to the United States. Please help us. Please help us. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. I'm going to tell you something now. And I never thought I'd say this. I was beginning to think that sleep was a bother. Sleep was a waste of my time. I'm not kidding. I got a Ghostbed a couple weeks ago. Ghostbed is an American made mattress. And I got this thing and I put it on the frame and I swear to God in heaven, I look forward to going to bed. Last night I couldn't wait to get in bed. I swear to God. I swear to God. And I slept until the sun came up. It has changed everything. It has changed everything. I never expected this kind of relief from a bed. Ghostbed blew me away. 101 nights for you to try it at home.
