Tone & Style

Equal parts political talk and culture-jamming comedy, Carson’s language is brash, sarcastic, and deeply partisan. The show oscillates between serious geopolitical analysis, blistering criticism of Democrats, and wild riffing/parody. Tony Kenneth matches the tone, laying into both Democrats and Republicans with biting, colorful commentary. The brash delivery is aimed squarely at listeners frustrated with mainstream coverage and eager for a more irreverent, “no holds barred” approach to news and culture.

For the Listener Who Missed the Show

This episode delivers a full-throttle fusion of right-wing commentary, political satire, and comic relief—moving from war and international scandal, to domestic politics, to culture war skirmishes, and punctuating it all with raucous banter. Carson and guests are relentless in lampooning their targets, and pull no punches in their claims and criticisms.

If you want the “Fox News meets drive-time radio parody” experience—complete with sung roasts and zero patience for the opposition—this episode is a perfect showcase of Carson's blend of humor and outrage.

[Tony Kenneth]

You are about to hear the most

[Rob Carson]

interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show

[Donald Trump]

in America on air and on the World Wide Web.

[Tony Kenneth]

This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson show. And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Finally Friday. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to it. Please come inside. I got so much to get to today. I better just get on it right now. First and foremost, the number one question for Americans today we and did the

[Tony Kenneth]

CIA tell you that Ayatollah Jr's gay?

[Donald Trump]

Well, they did say that, but I don't know if it was only them. I think a lot of people are saying that, which puts them off to a bad start in that particular country. I sort of have to smile to myself when I say I see people trying to defend the Palestinian regime for women. Women for Palestine.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Donald Trump]

They kill women. If you don't wear a certain group.

[Rob Carson]

That's true. Yeah.

[Donald Trump]

If you don't wear certain cloth all over your face, you have no chance of living. And you know, when I look at gays for Palestine, but they kill gays. They kill them instantly. They throw them off buildings. And I'm saying, who are the gays for Palestine? And they have a amount of gays for Palestine now.

[Rob Carson]

There are no gays for Palestine and Palestine or wherever the hell it is.

[Donald Trump]

I think when, you know, I did very well with the gay vote, okay? I even had, I even played the gay national anthem as my walk off, okay? Ymca and I think it probably helped me, but I did great. No Republicans ever gotten the gay vote like I did. And I'm very proud of it. I think it's great. Perhaps it's because I'm from New York City, I don't know. But, but the, the gay national anthem

[Rob Carson]

was my walk off.

[Donald Trump]

And I think it probably, but think of it. Think gays for Palestine, but they kill gays in Palestine. So when they hear that, I think probably we can talk about it.

[Rob Carson]

You know, when I first heard ymca, I just thought it was about going to Work out. I'm not even sure exactly, but apparently it's like a gay national anthem. So there you go. This is the gay Ayatollah theme song by Jim Gossett.

[Jim Gossett]

His name's Moshaba, last name Khomeini.

[Rob Carson]

What a fabulous way to start the show.

[Jim Gossett]

It is mentioned now and then that he is fond of men. That's why his father.

[Tony Kenneth]

Hey.

[Jim Gossett]

Was very of him. You see, his dad was anti gay and there wasn't any way that he would want his son to be the chosen one. When you consider his idea of fun. He's Mochtava, last name Khomeini.

[Rob Carson]

Khomeini.

[Jim Gossett]

No one thinks of him as brainy.

[Rob Carson]

No, not really.

[Jim Gossett]

Prefers the fellas not fond of ladies. The Pentagon's claiming Khomeini is flaming.

[Rob Carson]

That's Mojtab Arcg.

[Jim Gossett]

Could he be gay? That's what they say.

[Rob Carson]

Likes to wear flowing robes and headgear as a leader.

[Jim Gossett]

Some say he'll blow it. Intelligence, he doesn't show it. Well, that is Mojtaba.

[Rob Carson]

I'm gonna leave that one alone.

[Jim Gossett]

He is a moderate man, big into fashion, an unbridled passion. That's Mochaba. He'll give you a win. Yeah, yeah.

[Rob Carson]

You know, it's kind of funny. And I do believe that God kind of. God has a great sense of humor. It's frequently a very dark sense of humor. I've noticed. And the fact that I guess the Ayatollah, the heir to the throne is gay is like the ultimate God, going, let's make him gay. I mean, what the heck, you know, why not? If they're going to murder people for being gay, let's just go ahead and make the Ayatollah gay. Oh, my goodness. By the way, by the way, Steve Witkoff, he's the guy who went over there and he was negotiating with Iran for a couple of months. And Iran made the foolish mistake of saying, oh, yeah, yeah, we got, I don't know, 500 pounds of uranium and enough to make 11 nukes. We're thinking about making it, you know, what the hell? Not the good way to start off the talks when you're talking to the representative from the United States. With Donald Trump as the president, we

[Donald Trump (clip)]

have strong signs that this is a possibility. And if a deal happens, it will be great for the country of Iran, for the entire region and the world at large. Iran is looking for an off ramp. Following your powerful threat Saturday. Your indications that you are willing to listen to peace proposals have been well received. Finally we have told Iran one last thing. Don't miscalculate.

[Newsmax Announcer]

Again.

[Rob Carson]

Don't miscalculate. Don't mess around with Don. And it's. It's wonderful, actually, because they have this foolish pride and hubris that makes them refuse to give up and gives us permission to pound them into the ground. And I think that's really cool. It's the same way with the Democrat Party.

[Newsmax Announcer]

Right.

[Rob Carson]

By the way, they're the same way. They're going down the same road with the same idiotic policies and whatnot that cost them the election in 2024. But they're so proud and stupid that they're going to continue. Here's Donald Trump yesterday talking about Iran's nukes.

[Donald Trump]

Well, I have to do something in terms of making America great and keeping America great. And when you have lunatics with nuclear weapons and the power is beyond belief, I will tell you, as a president, I get to see it. My uncle is a great professor at mit, and he. He knew more about nuclear at the time than anybody. He told me stories that were horrible in terms of the power, both beautiful in terms of putting it to good use, but really bad for destruction purposes. His. His statements from years ago were, you know, he really. He really got it.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

He really got it.

[Donald Trump]

He was a highly respected.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, we stopped Iran from getting nukes. And they wanted nukes, by the way. Democrats said they wanted nukes for the last six years. You heard Tony Blinken and all these idiots from the Joe Biden administration. They all said that. That Iran could easily get nu. Of course, we helped pay for them because Barack Obama sent them pallets and pallets and pallets of cash, and Joe Biden freed up their money so they could spend it on weapons and whatnot. Here is Donald Trump talking about Iran being a cancer.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

What we had to do is get rid of the cancer. We had to cut out the cancer. The cancer was Iran with a nuclear weapon. And we've cut it out. Now we're going to finish it off. As we rebuild the greatest economy in history, a top priority must be to bring down the cost of living. And we were doing that.

[Rob Carson]

Yep, we were doing that. But Donald Trump had to be sidetracked a little bit and kill the Ayatollah and make his gay son into a cardboard cutout. Cardboard is so tacky. You had to make me out of cardboard. Stop it. My God. Couldn't you have used coriander? Something? Iran plans to charge ships to pass through the Straits of Hormuz. Yeah, good luck with that. Iran. What are you going to collect the tolls with? You know, going to row out in a dinghy. Iran for bearing legislation that would impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Sure, go with that. Okay. Traffic in the water, a critical shipping route has effectively come to a standstill since the US And Israel war. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Revolutionary Guard aligned news agency Farce. Fars can't make this up. Their news agency is called Farce. Oh, my God. Said overnight that a lawmaker had told a. It's reported the plans to impose tolls were also a. B officially officialize Iranian supervision over the Straits of Hormuz. With their dinghy. With the one dinghy that is allowed. That is according to the Revolutionary Guard aligned news agency. Farce. It's just fantastic. Donald Trump yesterday talked about the gifts, by the way, the gifts that the Iranians were going to give him, and he made it public what they were. Okay, it's not there. Hold on one second.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

We're going to let you have eight votes. He said, to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're going to let you have eight boats of oil. Eight boats. Eight big boats of oil. This was two days ago.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

And they'll sail up tomorrow. And actually, they then apologized for something they said. And they said, we're going to send two more boats. And it ended up being 10 boats.

[Rob Carson]

That's 10 boats, ladies and gentlemen. 10 boats. That was the. That was the. The present that you got there. Oh, by the way, yesterday, another. Another great Cabinet Super Friends meeting. Yeah, there we go. That's my sound effect for the Cabinet Super Friends meeting. Actually, here's the entire introduction of my Cabinet Super Friends. In the great hall of the Justice League, there are assembled the world's four greatest heroes created from the cosmic legends of the universe. There you go. Their mission, to fight injustice, to right that which is wrong, and to serve all mankind. That's right. That's right. And of course, one of those guys is Pete Hegseth.

[Pete Hegseth]

A 10 Warthogs. If you know them, you love them.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah.

[Pete Hegseth]

And Apache helicopter gunships.

[Newsmax Announcer]

Yeah.

[Pete Hegseth]

Are flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace and throughout the Strait of Hormuz. At will see. You only send these slow, low flying, close air support platforms when the enemy has no meaningful air defenses left.

[Rob Carson]

They got nothing. They got nothing left to try to shoot these down. Meanwhile, Scott Besant, also a Cabinet superhero, talked about how shipping is returning to normal.

[Donald Trump]

10 boats of crude sailing right through

[Pete Hegseth]

and Bessant says there's more on the way.

[Newsmax Announcer]

We are starting to see more and more movement in and out of the Gulf today. And this is more than yesterday.

[Rob Carson]

And this is since the beginning.

[Newsmax Announcer]

I am confident that shipping traffic will continue to increase on a daily basis

[Tony Kenneth]

even before we secure the straits.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. And oil already down. And so it's not going to go much further. And it looks like we're going to wrap this thing up post haste. And the American military kicked some serious. But even though, even though there were people in the Democrat Party from day one who said that we were losing, even yesterday a congressman from the Democrat Party said we were losing, there is absolutely no plan.

[Tony Kenneth]

The administration clearly can't even understand why they're in this war, what their strategy is to get out of it.

[Rob Carson]

You're saying absolute lie. Everything he just said was a lie. This is what the Democrat Party does. They say things that are absolute lies because they think they still own the media. But you see, everything he just said was a lie. And now it's been exposed as a say it with me lie.

[Donald Trump]

The US Is losing this war.

[Tony Kenneth]

As of right now, I think we

[Pete Hegseth]

are folks here in the room. These cameras, they have a choice.

[Rob Carson]

This is Pete Hegset.

[Pete Hegseth]

You're either informing the American people of the truth or you're not.

[Rob Carson]

No, they don't.

[Pete Hegseth]

Because I hear it from my people every, every day. Behind every headline you write, there's a helicopter crew in the air. And behind every news banner you write, there's a battalion on the move. And behind every fake news story, there's an F35 pilot executing a dangerous mission. My message to the media is get it right.

[Rob Carson]

But they won't. And guess what? We will over overwhelm them with the truth. And we will overwhelm them with joy and patriotism because our military kicked some serious butt. It was amazing. All right. We got a lot of stuff to get to on the show. Tony Kenneth from the Daily Signal is going to join us at the bottom of this hour. Mary Walter next to our got some great stuff for her Christian Toto Hollywood in Toto. Your calls as well. 800-922-6680. This is a Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show.

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere.

[Donald Trump]

Go to Newsmax.com listen for details.

[Tony Kenneth]

Listen.

[Rob Carson]

Which foreign country do you consider to

[Mike Lee]

be our greatest adversary?

[Tony Kenneth]

I think there's an obvious one in

[Rob Carson]

mind, which is Iran. Iran has American blood on their hands. Okay. Wow.

[Pete Hegseth]

Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that we're systematically destroying were paid for by the pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran under the Iran deal. You might call it an inconvenient truth. Iran took our money and turned it into weapons and bunkers and ammo, and now we're destroying those weapons and we're righting. You're righting, Mr. President, that grievous wrong.

[Rob Carson]

Isn't it kind of interesting that Kamala Harris said that Iran was our worst enemy? And while she was the vice president, Joe Biden freed up tens of billions of sanctioned dollars for Iran to use for weapons. Isn't that kind of interesting? It's kind of like saying you, you care about our security and you open the southern border to 20 million people unvetted for disease, criminality or terror. You know, it's kind of weird that way. And I think it's because the Democrat Party are traitorous wretches who hate the country. This is maybe me. Maybe I'm the only person who feels that way. No, I think everybody is, because it's true. There you go. You know, one thing you don't want to do is disappoint Donald Trump. Can you imagine being Donald Trump's kid, you know, and just my dad had this thing he would do, and it was just that look, it was the look of disappointment, and it was worse than anything. And trust me, he did a lot worse. He did a lot of worse. But, but that look of disappointment. Can you imagine, though, if you, if you disappoint Donald Trump, it would be real tough and it's going to be real tough on, on Europe, because I have a funny feeling they really, really ticked him off.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

The UK was very afraid to give us because they didn't want to get dragged in, but we don't want to get dragged into their wars either. You know, one thing, we're very disappointed. I'll say it publicly, we're very disappointed with NATO.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, that's not.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

Because NATO has done absolutely nothing. And I've always said 25 years ago, I mean, I was somebody that wasn't a politician, but I was always involved in politics and I understood politics. I said 25 years ago that NATO is a paper tiger.

[Rob Carson]

But more importantly, that will toilet paper

[Donald Trump (clip)]

tiger come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump (clip)]

And I want you to remember that we said this. They didn't come to our rescue, remember? Now they all want to help. When they're annihilated, the other side is annihilated. They said, we'd love to send ships. They actually made a statement, a couple of them, that we want to get involved when the war is over. No, it's supposed to get involved with the wars beginning or even before it begins.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I. This is a man who doesn't forget stuff. I mean, it's gonna. Something's gonna happen. Here's the problem. Like, for instance, Great Britain and France are already in some serious crap, probably more threatened being over than they were in World War II. Although France kind of gave up pretty quickly. But Great Britain's already been invaded and taken over, and Donald Trump's going to be going, well, you know what, Jan Yon. So it's two words. Jan Yoan. Jan Yon. Yan Yon. There you go. Here is Marco Rubio saying the same thing.

[Marco Rubio]

The United States is constantly being asked to help in a war, and we have more than any other country in the world on a war that's happening in another continent, in Ukraine. But when the US Had a need, he didn't get positive responses. So right now he's just making the options that. You know, I think there was a couple leaders in Europe who said that this was not Europe's war. Well, Ukraine is not America's war. And yet we've contributed more to that fight than any other country in the world. So it'll be something to examine. The President will have to take.

[Tony Kenneth]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, John, Solomon's got some news on Ukraine. Do you remember when I said at the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict that Ukraine was the. The country that oligarchs around the world go to launder their money? Well, it's true. And wait till you hear what some of the money that we sent so that they could buy weapons and yachts on the. On the Caribbean went for. Joe Biden's very much involved, by the way. Is that a big surprise? Your son got a Ukrainian gas company deal, got a million dollars a year, didn't know anything about gas and oil. Isn't that kind of interesting? It's just kind of interesting, isn't it? If you get in my bed, by the way, you'll sleep better than you ever slept in your life. And I'm not just saying because I'm going to be in there, because again, if you're a female, you're going to see, you're going to want. I'm going to sleep. But, no, I'm talking about you getting my bed, which is a ghost bed. Okay. I had another glorious sleep last night. My gosh. I mean, I wake up this morning, the alarm is set for 7 o'.

[Tony Kenneth]

Clock.

[Rob Carson]

I wake up at just right. It had to be awakened by the alarm for the first time in a long time. Normally you set the phone and you know, 5, 30, whatever, just get. Screw it. I get out. You know, I'm not going to lay here. But the ghost bed that I have is remarkable. Ghost bed is a American made bed and it comes in a box. It's rolled up and you unroll it and it pops up. And you can get different kinds of firmness and you can get the different sizes and all that. I got a queen that is kind of a queen. Stop it. No, a queen size mattress that I mean literally, it's like 16, 18 inches thick and it sleeps beautifully. It's got a pillow top and it's not too soft, it's not too hard and it stays cool. It's remarkable. And it's not expensive. I paid a lot more money for a lot less mattress. Ghostbed.com Newsmax 10% savings off already. Low savings. I'm telling you, you've got to get a ghostbed if you're sleeping on one of those foam mattresses. It's a piece of crap. Do not get it. Do not order another one. Ghostbed.com Newsmax it has changed my life. So here's John Solomon down at cpac. Apparently whole bunch, you know, there's a reason why usaid, they disintegrated usaid and it's because they were so bloody corrupt.

[Newsmax Announcer]

But we're going to cover one thing we broke overnight. A lot of you probably heard about it over the course of the day. The United States government, the National Security Agency, intercepted conversations of President Zelensky's government in Ukraine in 2022, late 2022, conspiring with federal workers at the USAID to come up with a plan to take $200 million of USAID money. That is your money, folks. Taxpayer money. Route it through a series of transactions, move it into the United States and launder it into Joe Biden's 2024 campaign.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Newsmax Announcer]

The Democratic National Committee.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. You know, he also got like $35 million from the Chinese Communist Party through 27 LLCs to nine of his family members.

[Newsmax Announcer]

We have the intercepts. For the first time, Tulsi Gabbard's team was willing to declassify the them. There is now an investigation underway, beginning with USAID to look at who was involved, whether any crimes were committed, and if that is the case, to refer that to the FBI in the next few days. Those declassified documents up atjust the news.com you can go check about it today. Members of Congress have been clamoring all day to get their hands on the documents.

[Rob Carson]

It has been verified through classified documents. $200 million of US aid money came back from Ukraine into the campaign coppers of Jo stinking Biden. When are people going to start being tried and thrown in prison for the rest of their bloody lives? It had better start happening. It had better start happening. But there you go. That's your Democrat Party. They will do anything to win by hook or by crook. Usually they lean into the crook. Tony Ken at Daily Signal joins us next. Don't go anywhere.

[Newsmax Announcer]

And go check about it today. Members of Congress have been clamoring all day to get their hands on the documents. I expect Tulsi Gabbard to make a statement later tonight and where things are evolving in her investigation. But we've gone from the era of weaponization where the primary tool was using prosecutors and FBI agents to disable Donald Trump and his followers and all the good people around him, to now potentially conspiring with foreign powers to have an impact on our elections. We have the Ukraine stuff this morning. And remember what we told you three weeks ago? Proof from the FBI that China sent thousands, tens of thousands of driver's licenses to the United States with fake names to get fake ballots to vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

[Rob Carson]

It's kind of weird, right? I mean, I was told by Democrats that election fraud doesn't happen. I don't know. I'm a little shocked, to be quite honest. Tony Kennett, Daily Signal, also hosts a great radio program on wic, IBC in Indianapolis, Indiana. How you doing, my friend?

[Tony Kenneth]

I'm having a pretty decent Friday despite, you know, the shenanigans afoot.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, there are some shenanigans. So we find out that Joe Biden invited Russia to do what, a limited invasion of Ukraine. And then all of a sudden, we were able to come up with $250 billion in money. Completely unvetted. Just sent over there. Just sent over there. A lot of yachts ended up, you know, in the Caribbean and whatnot with Ukrainian names on them. And now we're finding that, oh, yeah, they decided they were going to divert $200 million into Joe Biden's campaign covers in the election in 2024. No, no, I'm as sur I thought Ukraine was not a place where the world's oligarchs go to launder its money.

[Tony Kenneth]

This is one of the things that I always cackle over because as someone who's been out of the country before, I am consistently just floored by the number of individuals who have to assign universal morality to a country. So, for example, they're like, well, you know, do you want Russia to win in the war? It's like, I don't think you understand. I despise both of these countries.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Tony Kenneth]

I'm not in favor of any invasion, but Ukraine is like the Kenya of Europe. That is how corrupt it is. Oh, yeah, that man Nairobi's got nothing on. Yes. So, I mean, I just, I don't feel bad. I mean, obviously I, I again, the innocent people who are getting killed because their leaders are awful different matter. But of course, Biden trafficked money through him. I mean, his son Hunter bragged about that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, it's kind of interesting, though. I'm a little shocked that he, you know, he's suffering. He can't make his child support payments, and he just, for some reason, cannot find a job in the oil industry or sell paintings anymore. What is the deal here? Is he being blacklisted?

[Tony Kenneth]

You know, I, I seem to remember a time. So, first of all, I used to be at Indianapolis Public Schools. I was the science coordinator.

[Rob Carson]

You are? Yes.

[Tony Kenneth]

Jobs waiting for you. And then some textbook companies and on all of these fancy boards, if you just, you know, tilted things a little certain way while you were in your position, then afterward, if I wanted to be the second brand specialist analyst forever at Pearson, the job's open.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Tony Kenneth]

I would love is. Go ahead.

[Rob Carson]

Known you go ahead.

[Tony Kenneth]

Oh, well, just, you know, I mean, I just. I'm amazed that he's so bad at his job that he doesn't even have one of those cushy oil, like, nonprofit fraternity jobs waiting for him after he was done, you know, doing the hookers.

[Rob Carson]

I know, it's. It's unbelievable. But clearly also that cocaine was not his. The first cocaine ever found in the White House while a cocaine addict lived in the White House. It's weird. Weird. It's just kind of weird. So. So what do you think about Iran? How are you? We're kicking, but taking names. Most of those names. Mohammed, we, we took out the guy who was going to be shutting down the Straits of Horror. Moose, made him into fish food. And the Democrat Party even yesterday said we were losing. They started saying we were losing on day one. And they're going to be left in the dustbin of history. What do you think?

[Tony Kenneth]

I think that right now the United States is getting ready to deliver a genuine final blow to this conflict by capturing at least Carg island, perhaps a couple of others. We talked about this in depth last night. It's very likely the United States ends up owning a couple of these islands and not for nation building. I mean, permanent Teddy Rooseveltian style conquering, you bet. So that now China has to get most of its oil from us the way that it should be.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's pretty interesting, and I heard this yesterday, that we could have the Straits of Hormuz no longer under threat in perpetuity, which would be the first time ever.

[Tony Kenneth]

Well, I mean, also, the price of Brent oil crude being down to like 60, $65 a barrel is just insane. Venezuela, China has been boxed out of the entire global economy by the Trump administration in just two years. We've never seen anything like this.

[Rob Carson]

No, no. And I predicted, and I think you probably did as well, that when Donald Trump became the president, that peace, prosperity and freedom would sweep the globe. And it's happening. It's happening. Unfortunately, one of it's not happening is the United States. We got a lot of issues Here, I want to play a little sound bite from you. Mike Lee coming out of Congress yesterday and all he wanted to do was pass a simple ID to vote bill in the Senate.

[Mike Lee]

We just voted on a simple voter ID measure. This was a scaled down version of the Save America act, one that requires only a photo id the time and place of voting.

[Newsmax Announcer]

Yeah.

[Mike Lee]

And the proof of citizenship requirements. Even that was something that every single Democrat in the Senate voted against.

[Rob Carson]

Weird.

[Mike Lee]

Think about it this way. Two years ago, every Senate Democrat supported a bill that contained a voter ID requirement. What changed?

[Rob Carson]

Well, they know they're gonna get their butts kicked up between their shoulders in the midterms because they're not doing anything good for the country. What do you think?

[Tony Kenneth]

Well, I mean, it's hyper performative. They don't actually want to sign on to anything that Republicans are calling a serious commitment. And this is, this is where, where the rubber meets the road for a lot of who are often praised as being more moderate. Senator John Fetterman, who even I have called Senator Betterman before for having some common sense takes. He said back on February 23, if they only put a measure that is just photo ID for elections in front of me, I will vote yes. I will sign on to it. He voted no. He is a liar. I don't hear. I mean, I know the reason that I consistently don't jump on the oh, maybe fatter men. He's got a point. No, he still votes like Bernie Sanders.

[Rob Carson]

No ways. You know, he does speak a little bit with common sense. You know, he did the old computer turn it on and turn it off again and then it turn it back on and it cleaned up his brain a little bit. But clearly it needs to be defragged. I'm thinking maybe needs to be defragged too, because there are a lot of his policies that are still wicked left of center like his wife. So what do you think is going to happen with this, with this voter ID thing? What do you think is going to happen with the SAVE Act?

[Tony Kenneth]

Oh, I think there's just going to be a big bunch of nothing. I think that soon. And a bunch of Republican senators are going to go before the American people and they're going to sell you this reconciliation lie. And it is a lie. It is not true. They cannot pass this to reconciliation. That is not how it works. And when they try to sell you this horse crap, they're going to tell you to enjoy. You ordered a Big Mac with extra sauce and a large fry and a beautiful large Coca Cola. And the cashiers. The Republican Senate has come up and delivered you a crusty old half chicken nugget with moldy ketchup and told you to enjoy. And what we're seeing on social media right now, Rob, is that there is not a single Republican senator who can, who's trying right now to sort of say, well, it's these Democrats are all so bad, as though we didn't know this. Already the Republican senators are getting ratioed, destroyed by their own constituents because we're tired of this dude, I'm damn. They couldn't deliver a frozen pizza.

[Rob Carson]

I swear to God. They, they delivered a crap sandwich without the bread on the way. I want to talk about the chaos and death now at America's airports. The, the body count is going through the ceiling because of ICE agents. We will get to that on the other side of the break with Tony Kenneth from the Daily Signal. 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 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 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. Listen, you are going to love your new ghost bed.

[Tony Kenneth]

Get ice the hell out of our airplanes. Donald Trump has brought chaos into our airport in New Jersey. This is his way of doing things. Chaos, cruelty and corruption that is visiting upon us now as Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

That is Cory Booker at New Jersey airport, Newark Airport, talking about how the chaos that is being sown by ICE agents while people walked around him peacefully. Tony, Kenneth, did you see that yesterday?

[Tony Kenneth]

I did. Cory Booker's done this. He has himself a little travel podium that he bought from Office Depot. Yes, he puts that on some caster wheels and he spins that around various airports and he does these little, little impromptu preacher on the street, but without like warnings. I'm waiting for him to just show up naked with the barrel and the billboard that says the end is here. That kind of a thing.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, yes, yes. Now you. You heard, you know, amidst all the chaos and the murders by ICE agents at airports, that one ICE agent actually rescued a child that was choking. I believe Ms. Now is reporting that after saving the child, they murdered his dad just out of spot. That's. That's just what I heard there. I don't know the rumor. You know anything about that?

[Tony Kenneth]

You know, actually I just on. On that because I'm glad you brought up this particular report. I also took my luggage, ripped it in half like a phone book and then fed it to a pack of wild dogs. And the crazy part about that is I wasn't even at the airport. They just showed up and then said, sorry, you got any luggage? And then they just started shredding it right there in front of me. And my children were screaming.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, did you hear about this is Eric Swallows. Well, Swallows, Swallow. Swalwell. Eric Swalwell talking about what ICE is doing around America.

[Eric Swalwell]

I don't want to give a penny

[Rob Carson]

more to TSA or dhs, even if they are already funded. Now it's TSA and dhs.

[Eric Swalwell]

Because what I'm hearing from constituents and what I'm seeing is that they're dragging women by their hair, throwing them into unmarked vans, chasing people through the fields

[Rob Carson]

and factories where they work. They've committed public executions.

[Eric Swalwell]

Two of them.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I gotta tell you, I mean, this is so utterly over the top and so easily disprovable, but they still do it. Do they think they're getting away with it? I guess with some of the Democrat base, they are.

[Tony Kenneth]

I just can't hear Eric Swalwell speak without thinking of every single homosexual slur we have a word for. I mean, I'm not even sure at this point if his own staff takes him seriously. And the way that you can always tell is that when the clips of you talking, you getting statements out there aren't coming from your own office and they are instead coming from secondary and tertiary media individuals. Your own staff doesn't even believe what it is that you're saying. Dragging women by their hair. What weird porn book are you reading, you creep?

[Rob Carson]

Well, let's talk about how you got Fang Fang back to your apartment is what I'm thinking. Honestly, I Swear to you. You know, he looks like he ate a hair ice cream. You know, when he tries to grow that beard, it just. It looks like it's. It's unnatural. It's like somebody just took some whiskers and pasted it on your face. Like that magnetic. Remember that little magnetic guy that you take?

[Tony Kenneth]

The metal thing? Yeah, yeah.

[Newsmax Announcer]

Weird.

[Tony Kenneth]

Whatever.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, Weird Willy. Yeah, Weird Willy. It kind of looks like Weird Willy or whatever the hell that damn thing was. You could buy and you could put the iron shavings as whiskers. That's what his face looks like. Now, for those of you who don't know what the Democrats have planned for the midterms, here is Democrat Representative Delia Ramirez. We will melt ice, and I have a bill to do just that. We will dismantle the Department of Homeland Security, because, frankly, at this juncture, nothing less is acceptable. Yeah. They also want to get rid of the cbp, so they want to do open borders again. Tony, they're. They're broadcasting this.

[Tony Kenneth]

Look, I want to. I want to just be as insulting as possible here. So first of all, sweetie, that's not what the word juncture is for. That you're. You're not going to the Hakeem Jeffries school of vocabulary. Number two. I love watching Democrats try to trot out. Like you heard Hakeem Jeffrey saying he got laughed at, mocked.

[Rob Carson]

So he's like, who's out there talking about me?

[Tony Kenneth]

Yeah, that's what I thought from the podium, because he was just up there saying, well, we Democrats really care about safety and security and homeland security and the House. On the Republican side, I actually called my representative to ask what was going on that he had to yell at. He said we all just started cracking up because we couldn't believe those words were coming out of his mouth. And Delia Ramirez, the clip you just played, perfect reason why they run these little socialist Bernie Sanders in skirts for these office positions. And then they pretend all of a sudden like they didn't invite the radical Wolf into the House and give them access to the children.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. 100%. Thank you very much. 100%. I want to mention something, you know, because you're Indiana Hoosiers. They won the. The NCAA football championship of the fall. And my home state of Iowa is kind of knock, knock, knocking on. Well, I don't know if they'll make it all the way to the championship, but they beat Nebraska, they beat Florida, and they are the. In the elite eight. My home state of Iowa, I was born in Nebraska. Actually, and I was kind of just. I was sad. I was sad for Nebraska, but Iowa is kind of on the way. We'll see. Right?

[Tony Kenneth]

I've always been kind of fond of the Hawkeyes. I mean, I can't really say that I'm like, the world's biggest Iowa fan. I think out of that region, I'm probably more partial to the Jayhawks. But either way. Either way, I'll say that beating Florida always gives me a smile. And whether that was Purdue beating Miami and then last night, that buzzer beater against Texas, my goodness.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. Yes. Do you. Do you do the. Do you do the bracket at all? I don't. I don't do the bracket. I haven't done the bracket generally, you know, because like most of us, we. We fill out the bracket and then like Florida or somebody gets. Gets booted and your bracket is immediately killed because you have no idea who's going to win in this.

[Tony Kenneth]

I have a confession. When I was a teacher, I used to have my entire back wall of my classroom filled. And I mean floor to ceiling wall to wall filled with brackets. Teachers would come in and say, oh, did you have your students make brackets? I'd say, no, those are just all mine.

[Rob Carson]

I could see Mr. Kenned at the front of the class. Okay, kids, I'm passing around my baseball cap. Give me your lunch money. If you want to get in on this, let's get going. You probably did some great lessons on gambling.

[Tony Kenneth]

Keep certain brackets, like, up, up to date. But now, this year, I only. I only had five.

[Rob Carson]

You only had five. And how are you doing, by the way?

[Tony Kenneth]

All five are dead.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. Of course.

[Tony Kenneth]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Good.

[Tony Kenneth]

But I'm passionate.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely, 100%. This is why I don't do fantasy football. I do. With my fantasy football is like, I don't know, Beyonce playing quarterback. It gets weird. It gets weird. It's not anything to do with statistics. I mean, it's completely something different and kind of hot. But anyway, that's the old. I. You know what? I'm so bad at sports and sports booking. I lose money on ESPN Classic. I do.

[Tony Kenneth]

Ah, that's a good one. I like that.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you. Thank you. I. I swear to God, three. Three years ago, I thought the Chiefs were going to beat the Eagles, and I. I put money against them, and they said, dude, they lost. You lived in Kansas City. Oh, crap. All right, anyway, that's going to do it. That's going to do it for Tony today. Tony, tell everybody where they can watch your podcast tonight.

[Tony Kenneth]

YouTube.com Daily Signal. We've got a lot of great stuff coming tonight. Head over. We'll see you there.

[Rob Carson]

All right, brother, talk to you soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Poor little Democrats. Are you guys okay today? I came in to check on you. Every time Trump does something good, you guys spazz out. Would you guys shut up and let him work? Victor Davis Hansen.

[Eric Swalwell]

It has nothing to do with dhl. They said, okay, we're going to hurt you in a different way. We're going to stop all security at all the airports. We're going to not pay these people for over a month. And the Republicans said, well, why don't we just talk about ice? The Democrats can't talk about because half the party, Ilion, Omar, AOC and all these people, they don't want any ice. So many people now are invested in having no immigration system that the idea that anybody would be deported is Gestapo like to them. They can't come up with, with any reason why you would shut down the government to hurt DHS when DHS won't be hurt. The real cause they want to repeat what they did last year and hurt the economy, destroying the airline industry, making people angry. They've canceled a lot of flights and they want to hurt the economy because they don't have an agenda. I've never seen things like it. I mean that sincerely. I've never seen a political party without an agenda.

[Rob Carson]

100%, they are pretty evil. I said this. They're going to have to reinvent themselves or disappear into the dustbin of history. And we got to drive them into the dustbin of history. This is a war. The midterm is a war. You better sign up. You better enlist. This is a war. This is for the future of the country. You'd better enlist and be ready to fight. We have got to win. That's all there is to it. Otherwise, the country goes. And I'll tell you that if we, if we lose either house of Congress and they go after Donald Trump, there's going to be all sorts of BLEEP hitting the fan for me and my homies. Yeah, my homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews. You bet your butt. It's the 250th anniversary of our birth of a nation. Most of us are not going to make the 300th. So why not come to Washington D.C. with me on October 25th through the 29th? We waited a long time to get Donald Trump here, overcome more hurdles than you could possibly imagine. They tried to put him in jail, take his fortune, take him off the ballot and murder him. But we won. We never gave up. I moved to Washington, D.C. because I wanted to bring you with me. And now you can come with me. Okay. What we're doing here is five days, four nights, hotel accommodations at a glorious hotel in the heart of DC6 meals, ground transportation guides and gratuities. We're going to take it all in the White House tour Tour center, the U.S. capitol Building, Arlington National Cemetery for the changing of the guard, Lincoln Memorial, you know, the, the reflecting pool. I might even jump in and get a woman in the crowd to do the Forrest Gump Jenny thing. I don't know, Maybe, maybe I'll get arrested, but, you know, I'll do it for you. So if you want to be a part of this trip, and I would suggest you get on it because it's going to sell out. Travelwithrob.net travelwithrob.net or 8003-8331-3180-0383-3131. I'm going to embrace this with every ounce of my being because you and I did this. You and I came here and you and I are going to turn this city around. The city has already turned around. It's amazing. We're going to turn this country around and we're going to save this country. That's what they're in the the middle of of. And you should come and celebrate with me. Travel with rob.net travelwithrob.net or 800-383-3131. Get on today and get it booked because I have a feeling it's going to go quickly. October 25th through the 29th. Let's take a break and come back. Hour number of the Rob Carson show coming up. Don't go anywhere.
