Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. U.S. Foreign Policy: Iran's Collapse

[04:32–05:20 & 22:43–24:21]

• Military Success in Iran:
  Rob Carson boasts about the U.S. military's achievements:

  “We have sunk Iran's Navy and eliminated 80% of their missile batteries. …all the leadership of, and potential leadership of Iran, with regard to the mullahs, is gone.” (04:32)

• Democratic Response:
  Rob criticizes Democrats for being “contrarian,” noting protests and predictions of disaster that fizzled out:

  “The Democrats have done nothing but be contrarian. …They have burned Tesla dealerships when Elon Musk suggested we cut waste, fraud, abuse...” (03:53)

• Mary Walter adds her take on muted Democratic outrage and quick protest burnout:

  “There really hasn’t been a lot… They gave up after only a week. So that tells me that there’s not here a lot to criticize.” (23:16)

---

2. Parallels Between U.S. Politics and Classic Literature

[01:33–03:25]

• Theater Reference & Social Commentary:
  Rob draws metaphors from “A Tale of Two Cities,” comparing today’s elites (“bourgeois”) to the D.C. establishment and the masses (“proletariat”) to regular Americans.

  “We have a bourgeois, we have a proletariat. The bourgeois are the ones who are in power… while looting our treasury. And we are fed the crumbs.” (01:33)

• Provides a musical parody about Donald Trump, set to “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from Les Misérables, poking fun at politics and evoking a spirit of rebellion.

---

3. Texas Politics: The Controversial James Talarico Nomination

[07:38–11:52]

• Democratic Senate Nominee Criticized:
  The show features critical analysis of TX Democrat James Talarico, including audio of his statements about gender, God, biology, and abortion:
  • “Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front. …God is non binary. …[the] trans community needs abortion care too.” – James Talarico (08:11)
  • Rob Finnerty describes Talarico as “the most vanilla, total nincompoop of a candidate that I've ever seen.” (07:58)
  • Carson underscores Democratic disconnect from voters and ridicules Talarico’s stances:

    “He is nutty. He is nutty as can be.” (10:57)

• Political Satire & Song Parody:
  Rob delivers quick song parodies mocking Talarico, highlighting his “radical” ideas and predicting Republican victory in Texas.

---

4. GOP Infighting: The SAVE Act and the Texas Senate Runoff

[12:48–18:31]

• Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn:
  AG Ken Paxton offers to drop out of the Senate race if the GOP passes the SAVE Act.

  • Matt Boyle explains the strategy:

    “He [Paxton] frames the whole thing up as a referenda on the Save America Act …he's boxed in Cornyn to Cornyn’s core move, which is to basically do nothing and kind of talk being a supporter of President Trump or talk being MAGA.” (16:44–16:50)

• Old Guard Resistance:
  Boyle and Carson blast Senate Republicans like Cornyn and Thune for not supporting procedural changes to pass the act, arguing this shows they aren’t listening to voters:

  “They are not doing the will of the American people. …We have got so many bad actors in the Republican Party.” (15:56)

• Electoral Legitimacy:
  Rob voices ongoing grievances about “stolen” votes and the need for grassroots candidate choice—arguing establishment figures in both parties pick nominees without voters’ input:

  “We are had enough and enough and enough of our votes being stolen. This should include you Democrats... you haven't chosen your candidate in a very long time." (18:31)

---

5. Pop Culture, Social Commentary & Girl Scout Cookies

[19:25–38:02]

• Parenting Trends:
  Discussion of how permissive (liberal-leaning) versus strict (conservative-leaning) parenting influences children’s politics, with humorous anecdotes about “feral children” and “rub it out” as advice for scraped knees.

  "Permissive parents skew left. Strict ones skew right. US parenting has become political like never before." (27:13)

• Queer Animal Lab Rumor:
  A debunked story about a “queer animals lab” at the University of South Alabama is dissected and mocked, representing excesses and absurdities in academia and activist spin.

• Venice's Disappearing-Anus Jellyfish:
  The hosts riff on a bizarre news item about a “warty comb jelly” with a disappearing anus, leading to irreverent jokes:

  “It has a disappearing anus. …Imagine how that would be. …Is that their version of divorce?” – Mary Walter (33:16)
  “Yeah, I think you’re right.” – Rob Carson (33:29)

• Cracker Barrel's Rebranding “Disaster”:
  Rob highlights that profits dropped 94% after Cracker Barrel’s failed rebrand, equating it to the “Bud Light” phenomenon. (34:48) The duo reminisce about diners, desserts, and Southern food.

• Highlight: Girl Scout Cookies Outsmart Cannabis Dispensary
  [36:19–38:07]

  • Mary Walter recounts a NJ troop setting up outside a cannabis dispensary and selling record numbers of cookies.

    “They set up shop outside the exit door [of a cannabis dispensary]. Hilarious and brilliant, right?” – Mary Walter (36:41)

  • Carson jokes about stoner cravings:

    "A person who's high is going to take those Thin Mints and they're going to want a jar of peanut butter to dip it in." (37:45)
    "Who combines mint and peanut butter? Who does that?" – Mary Walter (37:59)
    "People who are high. Duh." – Rob Carson (38:02)

[Rob Carson]

Hold it now.

[Rob Parson]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world Wide web. This is the Rob Parson show, and

[Rob Carson]

by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Hour number two. We got a lot of stuff to get to. Barry Walter is going to join us at the bottom of the hour to, to talk about, like I begged, a bunch of good stories for her. We always like to talk a little bit about not only just politics, but all sorts of other things that are happening around the. Around the nation. Some weirdness. By the way, I'm going to see Tale of Two Cities this weekend. I'm excited about it. There's a little theater in Annapolis called the Classic Theater of Maryland. I saw A Christmas Carol there and I saw a music review there. And don't tell anybody, but some of the people in the theater are conservative.

[Mary Walter]

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

[Rob Carson]

Some of the actors and stuff are conservative. It's weird, it's crazy. But that said, it's a not for profit theater. I'm gonna go see A Tale of Two Cities on Sunday. Actually, the matinee is when I'm gonna go. And I think it's interesting. The reason, one of the reasons why I wanted to go to see this is, you may recall if you've listened to this show for a few years, that I talked about how what has happened in our country, we have a bourgeois, we have a proletariat. The bourgeois are the ones who are in power. And they moved to Washington D.C. to spend their entire lives telling us how to live ours. And they've enriched themselves while looting our treasury. And we are fed the crumbs. We're the proletariat. And then of course, we had a Bastille which was filled with January 6th prisoners. It's an apt comparison. It is an apt comparison because the people in power have done their level best to eliminate the middle class. So we have a bourgeois and a proletariat, a dependent proletariat, a dependent underclass. You can look at all the illegals. They Ushered into the country a dependent underclass while the bourgeois lives. And you may recall this because I did a song parody. Let me see if I've still got it here about, about a song from the Les Mis romp. All right. And. And so I did a song about Donald Trump. Do you hear the people sing? I'll play that one second. But when Donald Trump announced his candidacy at Mar a Lago and he was waiting in the. There was a tunnel near where he entered the ballroom at Mar a Lago to announce his candidacy. And what was he playing? It was. Do you hear the people saying. And this is what we did about the inauguration. Play it real quick here, Case. You're just hearing it for the very first.

Do you hear the people sing? Sing of Trump's great victory? He's back in the White House where he'll fight for you and me. He'll reform the FBI. He'll clean out the doj.

Working on it.

You better not get in the Donald's way.

He just kicked Iran's butt.

America is back. Donald Trump will make it great.

Military is great.

He will drain the swamp. He will root out deep state of Maduro. America, it's time to celebrate.

Close the border.

Do you hear the people cheer? Cheer for Donald Trump's return. A triumphant place in history is something he will earn. The inauguration's here. America is back. Trump will get us on the proper track.

[Rob Parson]

Why, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully, fully executed the office of President of the United States.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And we have sunk Iran's Navy and eliminated 80% of their missile batteries. And now it looks like we've taken out all of their higher ups. The, they've been bombing the snot out of their headquarters. So it looks like all the leadership of and potential leadership of Iran with regard to the mullahs is gone. So it has been an amazing first year. And the Democrats have done nothing but be contrarian. They have burned Tesla dealerships when Elon Musk suggested we cut waste, fraud, abuse. They have had no kings protest. They said that the, the signal gate was going to end. Pete Hegseth. They bitched and whined that we took out Maduro. They, they said that the, the, the captains of these drug boats were fishermen. We closed the border in days. They said it wouldn't be possible without spending a lot of money and without all sorts of bull crap. And look what has happened. Look what has happened in this first year and a few months. It is remarkable. But anyway, back to the original thought. I'M gonna see A Tale of Two Cities at the Classic Theater of Maryland. Classic theater of Maryland. Classictheatermaryland.org it is a. It is a not for profit, the theater. And again, there are a bunch of conservatives who. Who act and stuff there. So there you go. I thought you would like that. And there are definitely similarities between the stories, but this is kind of fun. The Democrat Party didn't learn anything after getting their rear ends kicked up between their shoulders with Kamala Harris. And you may recall when they announced Kamala Harris the next day, I laughed on the air. People thought I was crazy. I was laughing. I was like, oh, my God. They just sealed their fate. There's no way that Kamala Harris is gonna win this. My God, are you kidding? And they spent $2 billion trying to serve you a CR sandwich without the bread. And you said, you know, I'm not going to eat this crap. And so she was beaten. She lost both houses. She lost the electoral college, and she lost the popular vote, which, of course, was amazing. But they learned nothing. So they put together this. For instance, they've gone way left on everything. They managed to win in Virginia. They managed to win in New Jersey. They managed to win in New York City. They managed to win in Seattle. And in every one of those instances, people are leaving. Whenever Democrats win, whenever leftism wins, communism, socialism wins, people leave. And a lot of the times, they steal elections. We all know this. That said, it looks like in Texas, Jasmine Crockett would have been a more sane choice for Democrats to run as a senator, because this James Talarico is, I mean, bananas, right? They think because he's a pastor. They think because he's a white guy. This is going to work in Texas. Rob Finnerty, the awesome Rob Finnerty, by the way, on Newsmax, did this little commentary last night about the choice they made with James Talarico.

[Rob Finnerty]

But what did surprise me is the new problem that Democrats have in Texas. It is a big one. They're trying to trick Texans into thinking that their candidate is just like them in one of the most conservative states in the country. They chose perhaps the most vanilla, total nincompoop of a candidate that I've ever seen.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, other than Tim Vault.

[Rob Finnerty]

And Democrats think people are going to vote for this guy because he's white and he parts his hair over to the side and kind of looks normal in a strange way. And then he opens his mouth.

[James Talarico (quoted)]

Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front. God is Both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non binary. Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too. Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.

[Rob Carson]

Paid for by, you know. Yeah, there's their campaign ad right there. There is your campaign ad right there.

[Rob Finnerty]

The trans community needs abortion care too. Trans people, meaning men who think they can have babies, which they can't. No man has ever had a baby, meaning they can't have abortions. And apparently he hates that. He is white. He's talked a lot about that. White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus, but we spread it wherever we go.

[Rob Carson]

Really. Have you ever tried having your rear end in a tractor seat all day or on a fishing boat or gone into a coal miner or lived in a. In a. In a trailer park in your life? Because a whole lot of people, a lot of white people do that too.

[Rob Finnerty]

Through our words and our systems. And we don't have to be showing symptoms like a white hood or a Confederate flag contagious. He's a white guy and he's saying that about being white. Think about that. And then he said this.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[James Talarico (quoted)]

But I say all this in terms of. In context of abortion because before God comes over Mary and. And we have the incarnation.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[James Talarico (quoted)]

God asks for Mary's consent, which is remarkable. I mean, go back and read this in, in. In Luke. I mean, the angel comes down and asks Mary if this is something she wants to do. And she says if it is God's will, let it be done. Let it be.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Rob Finnerty]

Meaning the Democrat nominee for Senate in Texas just used the annunciation of the Virgin Mary to justify abortion.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, he did. He did.

[Rob Finnerty]

Are you angry yet?

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah.

[Rob Finnerty]

And he claims to not only be a Christian, but he's a pastor in training.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know.

[Rob Finnerty]

And Texas Democrats were told to vote for that and they're going to be told to vote for that in November. Instead of Jasmine Crockett, who was the black candidate, she was even endorsed by the first black Southeast Asian whatever she calls herself, instead of just being an American vice president we've ever had.

[Rob Carson]

It is. It is remarkable. They haven't learned anything. And I think that it's going to be a. A massive defeat no matter who the is.

[James Talarico (quoted)]

Non binary needs abortion care too. There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.

[Rob Carson]

He is nutty. He is nutty as can be.

James T. Rico, Jim Gassett.

He's a bozo and A lefty.

I just love it.

A threat to democracy. A major cycle doubling down on stupid Talarico. Yeah, he beat Jasmine Crockett, but he's just as radical. Much like Mamdani. He is a commie.

[Matt Boyle]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Big guy.

Must nominate Ken Paxton and tell John Cornyn that it's time to go.

Yeah, we'll see.

The state of Texas. The state of Texas should reject James Talarico. He is loco. Says there's six sexes. God's non binary. That is no joke. O. Talarico wants abortions.

Yeah.

For transgender men. He is a sicko.

Yeah.

Talarico.

Unbelievable. They are not anywhere near where we are. They are outside of the mainstream. They are outside of sanity. And I love that they haven't learned anything. On the other side of the break, gonna talk a little bit about Ken Paxton. Basically saying to Josh, I'll drop out of the race if you pass the SAVE Act. On the other side, a guy named Matt Boyle, he's a journalist. He was talking to, about. To Steve Bannon about this. And Cornyn and Thune do not want to pass the SAVE act. And Thune is willing to throw Cornyn under the bus to prevent it from happening. That's coming up. Don't go anywhere.

[Rob Parson]

Donald Trump's election.

[Mary Walter]

No, no.

[Rob Carson]

1, 1, 1 power.

[Rob Parson]

It's the gift that keeps on giving. It's the Rob Carson show.

[Rob Carson]

It is a Rob Carson show. Mary Walter joining us about the hour, Ken Paxton, who is the AG of the state of Texas in a runoff with John Cornyn for Senate. John Cornyn, you know, been in Senate a long time. John Thune is in charge of the Senate effectively with regard to the SAVE Act. And, and Ken Baxter said, hey, here's the deal. I'll drop out if you pass the SAVE Act. I will drop out of the race. I saw Matt Boyle talking with Steve Bannon this morning. Matt's a journalist. She's excellent, by the way. Had a chance to beat him, actually, at CPAC last year. And it looks like our. We have got so many bad actors in the Republican Party. We have so many people in Congress still who are just waiting to get through Donald Trump's term, who are just waiting to get back to the same old crap. The same old crap. For instance, there was a bill that suggested that we expose members of Congress who have made payments or had payments made for them with regard to sexual harassment claims. They covered it up and apparently they're also c blocking any investigation into Ilhan Omar's status, immigration status. There are people from Both parties preventing us knowing what happened and covering up the fact that she may not be in the country legally and should be removed. There are a lot of bad actors still in Congress. John Thune appears to be one of them. And here is Matt Boyle talking about that.

[Matt Boyle]

Thune and John Cornyn and all these other old guard guys in the US Senate do not want to change the Senate rules to nuke the filibuster, to endorse Cornyn saying, okay, it's going to save Republicans 100 million DOL. And wrap this thing up pretty quickly. Well, Paxton comes back with turn the tables moment. He says, you know, and the President's obviously out there saying that whoever he endorses, he's asking the other one to drop out.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Matt Boyle]

And then Paxton originally came out and said that he wouldn't drop out of the race. Now he's saying he would drop out only if. If the President endorsed Cornyn, but only if the Senate got the Save America act to the President's desk to be signed into law as it is right now. Now, of course, the Senate could do this right now if they wanted to.

[Rob Carson]

83% of us want the damn thing passed.

[Matt Boyle]

But John Thune and John Cornyn and all these other old guard guys in the US Senate do not want to change the Senate rules to nuke the filibuster. So now, when Paxton came out and said this, then we saw a Senate GOP leadership aide come out and say on background to a reporter that they wouldn't be surprised if the Bethune throws Cornyn under the bus and doesn't proceed forward with backing him and allows Paxton to get the nomination in order to not pass the Save America act and do those things that we're talking about in the Senate to make sure that it gets to the President's desk. That's how much reticence there is among establishment Republican senators to doing things with regard to the filibuster.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And this is why they all need to be voted the hell out. They are not doing the will of the American people. We are asking them for this because you and I all had our votes stolen in 2020. And there are a very good. There's a very good chance we've had our votes stolen many, many, many, many times.

[Matt Boyle]

Right. Like, I mean, that just tells you everything you need to know about, I think the Senate Republican establishment that they literally throw the guy they've already spent $70 million on, they intend to spend another hundred million in the runoff on, and another hundred million beyond that in the general election under the bus, who's been a senator for 20 something years, in order to do that. Now, I think the move by Paxton was genius because he frames the whole thing up as a referenda on the Save America Act.

He makes it a referendum on John Cornyn not doing anything for 24 years. Now you're gonna see John Cornyn in all his glory.

[Rob Finnerty]

Right.

[Matt Boyle]

I mean, he's boxed in. Cornyn thinks he's so smart. He boxed in Cornyn to Cornyn's core move, which is to basically do nothing and kind of talk being a supporter of President Trump or talk being maga. When you got to take action, he's not going to take anything. The President has already said the Save America act is everything.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And we have got to win both houses of Congress in the midterms because they will just lay down and take it, including the possibility of. And what they want to do immediately if they do take both houses of Congress is impeach our President. And I'm going to tell you what, they're going to be in for a bleep storm supreme from people like me. And I will lead the charge right here in Washington D.C. more from Matt Boyle.

[Matt Boyle]

They have all the tools they need to right now in the United States Senate to send this to the President today. But John Thune doesn't want to and John Cornyn doesn't want to.

[Rob Carson]

Right.

[Matt Boyle]

What they want to do is they want to do a show vote where they all vote on it on a 60 volt threshold, knowing that it will fail because the Democrats will, quote, unquote, filibuster it. Right. So what, what Paxton did, that was a genius move, is he says, I will literally lay down on the sword if that's what it takes to get this super important thing to the President's desk for his signature into law. It's not a show vote. It's a serious effort. I mean, they're kind of cornered here. I don't know what the President's gonna do one way or the other, but I think that it's abundantly clear at this point that if you want the Save America act to pass, Paxton's the choice, not Corny.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. And I will tell you also,

[Matt Boyle]

you

[Rob Carson]

know, there's been a lot to say about, about Paxton, his divorce, all of this stuff, what could come out. And I wonder how much of that is the establishment trying to take him down. Trying to take him down, because he's done some amazing stuff as the AG and he is the ag and it is amazing what a Trump endorsement will do. A Trump endorsement virtually means you're going to be that you're gonna be the candidate. And there's a real good chance you're going to win, especially in Texas when you're running against James Talarico, for God's sake. So I have a funny feeling that if Paxton was a candidate, Talarico ain't going to win. All right. And I got to tell you also that these Republicans have better get off their rear ends, for God's sake, because we're asking for this. We have had enough, enough, enough of our candidates being chosen for us. And we are had enough and enough and enough of our votes being stolen. And this should include you Democrats, by the way, because you haven't chosen your candidate in a very. Hillary was not your candidate, Kamala was not your candidate, and Joe Biden was not your candidate. They were chosen for you by the establishment. That's it. So we are both on the receiving side of this. And that's why the 80% of us who thought the country was going in the wrong direction need to come together to save her. And then we present our issues and we have a real vote. No cheating, no mail in, no nonsense. There you go. Let's take a break and come back. Mary Walter joins us next on the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom.

Let it be now. The reason why I'm using this song

today and in my outward darkness

is there because Mary was trending on Twitter today. My immediate thought was, what the hell is Mary Walter done? But it turns out this song actually was released 56 years ago. I was raised Catholic, and I always thought he was talking about the Virgin Mary, but it was his mom, I guess because, you know, the man was going through some difficult times and mom would come in and say everything's going to be cool. Mary Walter, how are you on this Friday?

[Mary Walter]

I'm doing great, but that's a tough act to follow.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Mary Walter]

Was that John McCartney, Paul McCartney, who wrote that? So his mom and Jesus mother. This is tough.

[Rob Carson]

I know. It's kind of crazy. I always. But like I said, I'm Catholic, so I immediately thought Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom because, you know, we consider her to be a sacred person in all of this. But it was apparently his mom and I don't know, maybe it's about bringing cookies. But anyway, I'm gonna stick with the other one.

[Mary Walter]

Well, hold on One quick second. So when we were in Israel, someone is what my name was. And I told him, and they said, oh, and who are you named for? And I was like, okay. Like, I just stopped for a second. I'm like, jesus's mother. I like. How do you like. Isn't it pretty much obvious who you're named for?

[Rob Carson]

Asking a guy named Jesus and what. Who you named after, bruh. Anyway, we got a lot of stuff to get to. I want to ask you. What do you think of Kristi Noem? This has been kind of a wild 24 hours. Were you. Were you a fan of hers or otherwise?

[Mary Walter]

You know what? I have to say, I bristled a little. Questioning about Corey Lewandowski yesterday. I'm like, would you ask a dude about that? You know, because you got Tony Gonzalez wandering around. Up until after all of that, he said he's not going to seek reelection. And then after that, the same people who were questioning her voted against making the records, releasing the records over who had their sexual allegations paid off courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.

[Rob Carson]

And honestly, we have some scumbaggery in there, and we thought, you know, the swamp is still swampy. The swamp is still swampy.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rob Carson]

It is just simple. I like living in Northern Virginia, actually. I'm enjoying it. But I may consider moving if there's a Republican governor elected in the state of Maryland and Maryland pulls its head out of its rear. Not holding my breath, though. Not holding my breath. And then also, I just want to mention Donald Trump has said he will not negotiate with Iran, only unconditional surrender, which to me sounds like this has been an overwhelming success, God willing. What are your thoughts on. On the epic fury and the Democrats reaction to it?

[Mary Walter]

So, you know, the Democrats have been somewhat muted on this. Have you noticed? They're not. They were. You know, there were right away, those made to riot. People like know Riots R Us had all their signs ready. And what was weird is there were allegations that those signs were being passed out, like, two hours before it was even announced. I'm like, huh? How'd they know? So that gave me pause. But other than those, the usual paid protesters in the usual cities, there really hasn't been a lot. And they gave up after it's only been a week, and they've already lost interest. So that tells me that there's not here a lot to criticize. There's no to criticize.

[Rob Carson]

But the Democrat Party, starting with Chris Murphy last week said it was a disaster. Hakeem Jeffries said it was you know, it was going to be a. Forever or all of this nonsense. Now, notice that the Democrat women have been fairly silent on this. They parroted out the soy boys to, to do the heavy lifting on this one I thought was kind of interesting. I think it's, I think it's backfiring on them majorly. And, and I think that, I think this is going to end sooner than we ever thought, to be quite honest. That's just my thoughts on.

[Mary Walter]

We have a lot of other things, in all fairness. Excuse me. Chris Murphy should know a disaster when he sees one. Just saying it. Saying it.

[Rob Carson]

No kidding. No kidding. Oh, and then I did want to mention to this, Tony Gonzalez pulling out here. What is, what is scumbag supreme? He. He has an affair. The woman who he had an affair with killed herself by setting herself on fire. And he's still going to stay in the race. He's got six kids. I'm like, really, really unbelievable.

[Mary Walter]

Okay, Congress is full of scumbags. We know that. But it's only the Republicans who wind up resigning or leaving Congress. Democrats never do. And I'm not saying that what Democrats do is right. I think it's wrong. But Republicans always have their numbers trimmed because they're held to this higher standard of whatever ethics or morals Congress has left. And in fairness to Tony Gonzalez, he claims that they had. This had been broken off over a year before that woman set herself on fire. So he's coming in and nothing to do with him. He said, I have not been in contact with her. He did an interview and he told the host, I forgot to be interviewed with. But he said, look, I'll show you his last text message. You can see it right here. Text message that it went back and forth between us. And he claimed that it all, that his, her husband was, was trying to blackmail him.

[Rob Carson]

Is that it?

[Mary Walter]

Okay, he has the evidence now. The husband says that's not true. So Tony Gonzalez claims to have the evidence that the husband was trying to blackmail her.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Unbelievable. On other notes, we have much to get to. United Airlines is now saying that unless you put earbuds in, you will be removed. If you are playing your, your digital, you know, device, your phone, your, your iPad, whatever. I think this is great. I, I've never really encountered somebody on a plane just playing their iPad or playing their phone audio or audio next to me, but I'm sure it happens. What do you think?

[Mary Walter]

Well, having just been on United Airlines, I did not have that. I didn't see it. I didn't hear It. However, in the past, I have been on flights where someone's playing a video game on their iPad or whatever, and it's really that. And I'm like, are you kidding me? Like, to me, it's just people are just so rude. Everyone has lost the sense of what is rude and how to just be nice, like how to have manners. So it doesn't surprise me, her people in the stores all the time. I see it like I'm checking out of the grocery store and the woman in front of me is, you know, unloading her groceries with one hand because she's got her other hand on her phone, which is to her ear. And then she's, you know, trying to cradle it while she gets her wallet out. The rest of us can just stand there and wait while she fumbles with everything. She can't hang out loud. You ever notice that that is just gives them in a parachute and sends them and their iPhone out over wherever that. Wherever.

[Rob Carson]

I have this happen to me all the time. You got somebody talking. What do you think? And then, you know, the person in the cash register is hitting. I got to listen to that. I'm like, honestly, the death of civility is ridiculous. On a related note, new study. Not a big surprise. Permissive parents skew left. Strict ones skew right. Us parenting has become political like never before, among other things. This is. This is not a big surprise. My parents were strict. My father was a Democrat, Roosevelt Democrat. My mother was a Republican through and throw. But they were both conservative about this. But a lot of, you know, hippie, dippy boomer parents and some Gen Xer parents, you know, they end up, you know, raising kids who have purple hair and are non binary.

[Mary Walter]

Well, first of all, I hope they didn't spend a lot of money on this study. Study that was money wasted. We all know this. But my guess, my question is what is considered conservative parenting and what's considered liberal parenting? When I grew up, my parents in the summer had no idea where we were for about eight hours a day. No clue whatsoever. There were no cell phones. I would just like, hey, mom, we're walking to the farm. She'd be like, okay. Be home by dinner. I'm like, okay. And that we could have been kidnapped. We could have gone anywhere. But we always went in a group. And her parents just never worried. You know, we were feral children. Is that considered liberal parenting or conservative parenting? Because my parents.

[Rob Carson]

Conservative parent. Because liberal parents would make sure you had a bike helmet on. Liberal parents would do, you know, like, for instance, I told my kids, whenever they'd scratch their knee or get a little bit of blood, I'd say, you know, rub it out. Rub it out. You know, honestly, you really. That hurt. Rub it out. And that's conservative parents parenting.

[Mary Walter]

Okay, Republicans. But they were very conservative parents. They were just like, go have fun. My mother would in the summer be like, all right, in the summer, when my mother needed a break, she's like, leave the house and don't come home until I put the porch light on or I call you. Whatever it happened. And that was it. She's like, don't come back in the house. We're like, no, we didn't get food. She just assumed we were eating at somebody else's house or we were in the woods picking berries or whatever, which we were. But we didn't even come back in for lunch.

[Rob Carson]

Go drink out of the garden nose. All right, we're going to continue the conversation on the other side of the break. Mary Walter at. By the way, Twitter at Mary Walter Radio will continue this in one moment. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is a Rob Carson Show. More with Mary Walter in one moment. You know, global uncertainty is. Does wonders for precious metals. And the price of precious metals, gold is just been surging. Went up to 50, $600, nearly 50, $600 in January, all time high right now hovering Just below $5,200 an ounce. I had mentioned earlier this week. On Monday, it was at $5,300. And if you would have bought $20,000 worth of gold in 2006, that would have been 33 ounces of gold. Could you even imagine? Because as of Monday, that would have been worth about 170 grand. I mean, wow. Is your 401k do that? Has it done that? No. That's why I converted my one little IRA that I had from selling cars, by the way, was one of the only good things I got from selling cars. A 401K and how to back a car into a space properly. Those are the two things that I ruled at selling cars. I got so good at backing cars in my gut, when I pull into a parking lot at Walmart or where they're like, whoa, what is this? What is this? Anyway, Burt's Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered retirement account in gold. Text my name, Rob, to 989-898 to receive your free info kit. No obligation, just information. And when you decide to pull the trigger, they make it that easy. Just a quick Phone call, very little work, honestly. And they have an A plus rating from the better business Bureau. Thousands of happy customers, including this guy right here. Text my name. Rob to 989-898 again. Rob to 989898 for Burch Gold. That was one of the things that I. It was one of the best things, Mary. From selling cars. I learned how to parallel park so easily and flawlessly and back a car into a parking space like nobody's business without a. Without a camera. It was. It was. It was amazing.

[Mary Walter]

Well, is that on your resume? Have you put that on your dating profile?

[Rob Carson]

Maybe I should put it on the match dot com. I don't know if that's going to sound so good. All right. So, you know, I mentioned that the University of South Alabama had this queer animals lab. Now the University of South Alabama is saying we did not have a queer animals lab. It was a woman who was a member of the faculty who created on her own Facebook page. She also on her page featured anti ice no kings and anti trumps posts, while her personal Instagram page shows her dressed as a book band fairy and various Star wars characters. So they're saying that didn't happen. The queer animals lab didn't.

[Mary Walter]

Okay, so she made up the entire queer animal thing, period. Like it didn't exist at all. And she just made up the whole story. Right.

[Rob Carson]

I. I get that's what. At least that's what the University of South Alabama is saying now that it's been made public. I wonder if. I bet.

[Mary Walter]

Or is she just nuts?

[Rob Carson]

No, she works there. And. And she's a liberal. That's the problem.

[Mary Walter]

Did you know working there anymore. If she made that up. If that was my. If she were my employee and she made that up. Bye, bye. Adios. Go fight. You know, there's the welfare office.

[Rob Carson]

She is.

[Mary Walter]

I would. She would not work for me.

[Rob Carson]

For me, she is gone. Here's something interesting. Venice is being. Have you ever been to Venice?

[Mary Walter]

I have not been sinking forever. It's supposed to be underwater by now.

[Rob Carson]

It hasn't. And I believe also Miami was supposed to be that way by now, but it's not. It hasn't happened. Venice is facing an extraordinary invasion of a bizarre, cannibalistic jellyfish that scientists say is threatening fish stuff. One of the weird things about this jellyfish called the warty comb jelly or the sea walnut, it has a disappearing anus. It's. One day it has an anus and then it just disappears. And imagine how that would be. You know, you Ever been driving along and all sudden you got to go. And the closer you get to the destination, the more you got to go. Could you imagine if that disappeared, Mary?

[Mary Walter]

Wait, isn't. Is that their version of divorce? Disappearing anus, Next day is gone.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I think you're right. I think. I think you're right.

[Mary Walter]

I mean, you got to figure the life cycle is short, so it's all. It's all, you know, sped up. It's all accelerated.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. Now, I don't know if you heard this, you know, did you. Are you. I can't imagine. You're a big cracker barrel eater, are you?

[Mary Walter]

You never been in one?

[Rob Carson]

Never have been. I went in one and I haven't eaten in one. Hey, listen, I'm not a snob or anything, okay? I mean, you know, whatever, but I went. My daughter used to go with her boyfriend and they loved it because it's, you know, simple food. It's macaroni and cheese and deep, you know, chicken fried steak and all that, you know, And I walked in and I walked into the gift shop and I went, oh, my God, the wasted years. It is. It's really a pretty cool place. It really is.

[Mary Walter]

If you like to buy gifts in a diner. Okay, Kitsch. I'm from New Jersey, more the diner capital of the world, so there's no need for a Cracker Barrel here. And the best thing we have is the rotating pies and cakes. The big display of rotating pies and cakes and it goes round and round. When you walk in, big rotating thing is pies and pastries.

[Rob Carson]

Do you do the meringue that's a foot tall?

[Mary Walter]

No, I do not. I rarely ever get dessert. Usually. They're really good. They're usually made in house else, but no, I do not. So I've never been to Cracker Barrel and I've never seen the merchandise and maybe I'll have to take a trip.

[Rob Carson]

I think you should. Now, overall profits. You want to guess how much their profits dropped when they decided to rebrand? 94%. Their profits dropped 94%. It was a major Bud Light. It was a major 94%. They have since kind of turned things around. They've added some new menu items that actually, you know, if you like good old American food, smoky southern salmon, fried catfish, and hush puppy dippers. I can imagine you're probably not a big hush puppy dick dipper person.

[Mary Walter]

I don't think I've ever dipped my hush puppy. So there you go.

[Rob Carson]

All right. Mary, Walter, I appreciate you being on the Show. Tell everyone where.

[Mary Walter]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Every time you asked me what I want to talk about, I sent you a story to talk about and we didn't talk about it.

[Rob Carson]

United Airlines?

[Matt Boyle]

No.

[Mary Walter]

The Girl Scouts. A big dump.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dear Lord. Can we, can we take a break and come back to that?

[Mary Walter]

That's up to you.

[Rob Carson]

I do want to talk about it. I apologize. In case you didn't know, I'm easily distracted. Mary. Okay. Did you notice that? Keep Mary on for an extra segment because I feel guilty now. Okay? So let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Parson]

Fasten your seatbelt deep state. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. Hi, it's the Rob Parson Show.

[Rob Carson]

Three minutes left at the top of this hour. Mary Walter, tell us the story that I forgot to share with our listeners

[Mary Walter]

that you think is really great, by the way too. And maybe, maybe this ties into your ADD just a tad. So in New Jersey, there's a Girl Scout troop that got really smart because it's Girl Scout cookie season, of course, right? And they set up shop. They got permission from the owner of a cannabis dispensary to set up shop outside the exit door.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God. That is spectacular.

[Mary Walter]

Hilarious and brilliant. Right?

[Rob Carson]

And.

[Mary Walter]

But now the national, or whatever, the Girl Scout Council is not happy about it. So they're supposed to be back today, but I don't know if they're going to be back today, but I thought it was hilarious. And you know, Rob, I'm thinking maybe a little of the cannabis might calm you down just a little bit.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I have. I have micro dosed thc. It's not good. I can't. No, no, no, no. I'm better under the influence of nothing to be other than caffeine. Those are the things.

[Mary Walter]

This is as good as it gets.

[Rob Carson]

It's. It's not gonna get better, baby.

[Mary Walter]

Well, at least everyone knows what they're getting then. By the way, I don't believe in

[Rob Carson]

attention Definite deficit disorder. I believe there is a disorder associated with someone who could sit and read a book for eight hours and it's attention surplus syndrome. You do the math. Math.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, but I can sit and read a book for an hour and I've been married for 30 years. That's all I'm going to say.

[Rob Carson]

Oh. Ow.

[Mary Walter]

Cold.

[Rob Carson]

Cold. I think that it's. That is a great idea on the Girl Scouts. But I would also add some things to the table, like a jar of peanut butter, because a person who's high is going to take those, those thin mints and they're going to want a jar of peanut butter to dip it in so they could double dip and make a little extra money.

[Mary Walter]

Who combines mint and peanut butter? Who does that?

[Rob Carson]

People who are high. Duh.

[Mary Walter]

That sounds disgusting.

[Rob Carson]

All right, well, it's because you're not high, Mary. You eat all sorts of weird things when you're high. All right, so let's, let's wrap things up. Where can people find your glorious work? Mary?

[Mary Walter]

Okay, tomorrow I'll be on with Rita Cosby on Newsmax around 12:30 Eastern Time. And then I'm on with Rod not Rob Carson with Todd Stark on Tuesdays on end two between five and six. And then you can find my live cast on Tuesdays 7:15pm Eastern Time. Just look for Mary Walter Rad on Apple podcast, Spotify, Spreaker, YouTube, Rumble and Getter.

[Rob Carson]

By the way, if you're looking for a to be schooled on what people eat when they hot when they're high, watch Scooby Doo. Watch everything that Shaggy and Scooby eat. That's it, Mary. Come on now.

[Mary Walter]

Hilarious. That's so true. But I'm pumped. Goodbye.

[Rob Carson]

All right, bye. Yeah, it's perfect. Think about this. They always do that. They make the giant sandwich and then of course, you know, Scooby eats it and then there's an olive and it rolls out there and the mouse picks it up and goes, you know, and that's, that's, that's what people eat when they're hot. I don't do that stuff, by the way. It's not a good idea. Let's take a break and come back last hour. The Rob Carson show is right ahead. Don't go anywhere.
