Hold it. Now. 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 Carson show, hour number three of the Rob Carson Show. By the way, you know, I don't do a good job of promoting the phone number. It's 800-922-6680. I'm gonna do better at that as the. As the year progresses. When I said the number, a lot of the times, people wouldn't call because I think a lot of the times you think, yeah, why. Why chime in? You kind of enjoy hearing the entertainment. Then all you, you probably also think, how could I get a word in edgewise? Is it even possible to do that? So we're gonna, we're gonna promote the number more. If you want to call in on the show. Maybe that's one of my. My resolutions this year. 800-922-6680. Other resolutions. I put on some weight over the holiday. I did go to the gym, but I ate a lot of crap that I shouldn't have eaten. I said, hell with it, you know, why not, you know, just enjoy things a little bit? I saw a headline today that America's turning Falling out of love with Pizza Restaurant Chains. Explore strategy Changes as Sales slow for Food Delivery mainstay. You know what it is? It's a bunch of damn people who are so freaking averse in the latest dice thing is, I can't eat carbs. I gotta eat keto. I gotta eat keto. I can't eat carbs. I mean, honestly, did you fall for the cabbage soup diet? Did you fall for the caveman diet? Did you fall for all that crap? I mean, honestly, moderation in all things, and occasionally the excess, if anything, that you should worry about is getting rid of the fake crap, getting rid of the seed oils and the artificial dyes and crap like that. There's nothing wrong with carbs. There's nothing wrong with wheat. It's the staff of life, for God's sake. There's nothing wrong with rice. There are a lot of Asian people, millions of Asian people, Chinese people, they eat rice every day. They're not fat. It's just crazy. There's millions of people from the south of the border that eat tortillas every day. They don't have a single ounce of fat on them because maybe they're, you know, busy working and stuff. I don't know. But when you say no to stuff, I gotta tell you, I have met several people of the Feminine persuasion who have said, oh, I would never eat pizza. Oh my God, a pizza. Oh my God. It was like, wow, if you gonna eat no pizza around me, you ain't gonna spend any time around me. Because I ain't falling out of love with pizza. Occasionally I'll do the cauliflower crust. They have a cauliflower crust at Costco. It's not bad, it's not good. But America's falling out of love of pizza. Bullcrap. Pizza is a gift from God. Oh, this is from, from Persia, formerly known as Iran. The police are joining the people. The Iranian police in at least one enclave called Lem has joined the revolution. And hopefully this will mean that the ayatollah, we'll get a, get a, you know, patriot colonoscopy. He's making plans to depart Iran and he's looking at Russia is where he's thinking about going. So that's good news. What an amazing. Maduro's gone. The Democrat Party is trying to piss on that parade. Maduro is no longer in power in Venezuela. He has caused untold hardship, heartache, I should say hardship, death, destruction, imprisonment, people fleeing starvation. He's a son of a bee. He has been a narco terrorist trafficker to the United States, caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. He is an evil SOB and he's no longer in power. And the Democrat Party is so, so they've got TDS so badly that they can't even admit it's a good thing. As hundreds of millions of Hispanics around the globe cheer. I wonder if Cuba falls, if Democrats will say it's bad. Honestly, the party. You're so friggin broken. Friggin broken. If Iran falls, what are you going to say now? Is it bad? Is it bad that Donald Trump went after the nuclear facilities? Oh, he didn't bomb the nuclear facilities. He didn't get all of it. No. Shut up. We are witnessing history and I am not about to let you take away my joy and patriotism. Here's Tim Voortz this morning again, bellyaching, blaming. He's going to go to jail. He knows it. Here he is talking about why he dropped out of the 2026 race and it's because the evidence is so overwhelming that at best he simply was ignorant of all of the massive, massive fraud in his state. And at worst, he knew about it and even facilitated it by ignoring the evidence of it and ignoring whistleblowers and.
- [05:26]
B
Putting them down your campaign by yourself. Or did you receive pressure from Democratic allies?
- [05:32]
A
This is a decision that I make.
- [05:34]
B
And make with my family.
- [05:36]
A
And certainly, I think, as I said, it's the right decision. We all note, I think it's appropriate we're here today. The war that's being waged against Minnesota, you're seeing it. No, it's not you, Jack Weed. It's the war against all the fraud and all the money that your frigging government took from, from us. We have a ridiculous surge of apparently 2,000 people coordinating with us for a show of the cameras. Yeah, I'm going to note to all of you, today is January 6th. You better go to your bunker. Oh, he's going to talk about Jan6 now. There's no debate what happened. Oh, yeah, there is. Yeah, there is. Yeah, there is. There's also debate about the election, whether it was real or not. There came, but you see, you guys were able to censor it all back then. Not anymore. States led an insurrection against a fair election to try and overturn that and you know, report both sides of this. Well, he, you know, he said, wow, I gotta tell you, you're so desperate. He said it was white supremacy and all of that. I mean, honestly. Tim a. Tim a. Enjoy your last breaths of free air. Timmy. Timmy. Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. Loud level, loud. Timmy. There you go. Timmy Tampon. Tim's final humiliation. Walt's unraveling with excruciating gaffes, shameless excuses and a calamitous VP cameo. This is the UK Daily Mail doing some real journalism, which WCCO in Minneapolis and the Star Tribune would never consider doing. I used to live there, you see. I was going to work at WCCO radio a few years ago and they called me a right wing extremist or something like that. Even though the media in Minneapolis celebrated me being a conservative in the 90s when I did a morning show up there. This is from the story. It wasn't even immediate clear where the couple would live after Walt's final day in office. Walt sold his home in July 2019 for 304,000. Moved into a state funded home public housing there he was still at 250,000 mortgage at the time. On Monday, he ended his bid for a third term as governor, admitting that the fraud happened on my watch and that the buck does stop with me. Well, he just admitted it. He's, he, he's toast. Waltz conceded. For the last several years, an organized group of criminals have sought to take advantage of our state's generosity. However, when it came down to a downfall, he refused to take responsibility because he's A spineless wuss bucket. He accused President Trump of demonizing our Somali neighbors. Now a good share of them are scumbags from the world's meth lab trailer park. Somalia because it's a hellhole. Amid the ongoing scandal, Waltz has summoned been summoned to appear before a congressional hearing on Wednesday. That's going to be tomorrow. I can't wait to watch that old tempeh. Federal charges have been filed against 98 people accused of embeddlement funds. According to the Attorney General Pam Bondi, 57 people, most of them Somali, have already been convicted in a scheme to divert 300 million in public grants, distribute free meals. They lied about it. We all know the story. We all know the story. And then teme, I think the reason why they, they selected him other than the fact that he wasn't gay and wasn' Jewish, because, you know, that's the Democrat Party. It's interesting. Kamala Harris was the first female, whatever, presidential candidate, second presidential candidate, whatever. And, and there weren't enough Democrats to vote her into office. It's weird. It's like maybe the Democrats are sexist or something. They also didn't want to put Josh Shapiro, he's a joke in Pennsylvania on the ticket because he's Jewish. You know, Democrats have a real problem with the Jews. They certainly do there, you know, and then there was Tim Booty Gig. Pete Booty Gig, who is the Secretary of Transportation, who got nothing done because he was transphobic, you know, because, you know, he's afraid of doing things successfully as the transportation secretary. There you go. There you go. Another thing. ABC Learning Leering center in Minneapolis was featured in a report from Nick Shirley. And apparently the, the director, AH Sahm Hassan Madasabad Bilan, decided to invite the Associated Press back in there because Nick Shirley went over to these daycare centers at 11 in the. Nobody was there. And so since that has happened, they say, well, it's because our hours are 2 to 10pm Those are good hours for a daycare center, right? Yeah, you'd usually think 8 to 5 would be. Sure, okay, whatever. Apparently viewers quickly pointed out seemingly random stock images that were scattered throughout the center on the walls. Pictures of families displayed on the wall with the word science above it. They're either stock photos or AI generated, but zero chance they have anything to do with science. They're trying to cover their rear end. A whole lot of Somalis are going to jail and then a whole lot of Somali families who, who said their kids had Alzheimer's or not. Not Alzheimer's. But, but, you know, whatever disease or anyway, they, they took advantage of the, of the largesse of, of the, the fraud. They enrolled their kids in these daycares, never took their kids. And, and uh, also. And I think they might even, they might even pretend that their kids had Tourette's Center. I have no idea. But they had all sorts of, uh, they. All sorts of lies. Amy reported considering a run for Minnesota governor after Tim Waltz announced the end of his reelection. And she thinks that she could make him a senator when she became the governor, but she has a long trail of, of government corruption behind her. I won't get into. They're tying her into $10 million in illegal campaign donations with regard to ActBlue and other things. Democrats in Minnesota, I hope, have run their. There, of course, but unfortunately there are a lot of idiots who live in Minnesota who still slavishly vote Democrat. And then of course there's the Somalis who are up there. But I do hope that, that people pay for this. 2000 HHS DHS employees in the state of Minnesota and arrests are starting in the whole deal. And then there's no doubt that this is a massive fraud scam. It's going on around the entire country. States like Washington State here. A Cam Higby, Washington State. Another state daycare scam. My decoy and I went to Aisha Home Child Care in Kent, Washington and she got inside. A corresponding page for Aisha Home Child Care on the state expenditure website indicates.
- [12:01]
B
That this place has raked in $753,053 since 2022.
- [12:09]
A
We matched the address and the business card given to us with records for an Aisha Home Child Care on the Department of Children, Youth and Families website for Washington State. The DCYF indicates that this place only serves two children. Yeah, you know, my mom ran two daycares. No government aid. She did it all herself. She charged the people who were enrolled in the daycare to take care of the kids. She fed the kids with the proceeds that she got for running the daycare. She a brilliant job of it and she didn't do any of this bull crap. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I had the honor of being noticed by the President of the United States who called me a very, very liberal slash communist mayor. You are. Oh, my God. That is the new Katie. Katie. She's in a maricella. She. She's 43 years old and her, her mom and dad still give she and her husband money because she has never Been able to make a living. Oh my God. You've got Lord of the Flies meets. Meets an animal farm going on in New York City and Seattle. There are a bunch of children running the city. Not kidding, not kidding. A bunch of emotionally and mentally stunted children who got together while everybody else slept and got a bunch of money from outside sources like George so and got elected. And the cities are going to go to hell. They are. There's no doubt about it whatsoever. Seattle's new communist mayor, Katie Wilson orders police to stand down on open drug use. She has effectively ordered the police to stand down, turning the once vibrant immoral city into a dystopian nightmare of needles, overdoses and unchecked criminality. Used to be that generation would forget about the failures of socialism. Now it's a year later, they're repeating the same stupid crap. Officers now instructed to divert all drug possession and use cases away from the prosecution into the law enforcement assist. Blah blah, blah, blah blah blah. A return to a failed ideology that defined Seattle before the legislature was forced to restore drug possession laws. For all of the talk of learning lessons, Seattle once again choosing diversion over enforcement. This is what they're doing again. And literally now. It's not a generation that separates ignorance. It is actually a year later. Here's a report.
- [14:38]
B
In tonight's Project Seattle report.
- [14:40]
A
Some comments call it a double standard.
- [14:41]
B
As Seattle fails to follow its own rules.
- [14:43]
A
A homeless camp set up on a.
- [14:45]
B
Vacant property owned by the city and neighbors say there's been little effort to keep people out.
- [14:50]
A
Cumbers. Joel Moreno joins us live now from West Seattle with a look at the problems that have been ignored for months. Joel. Steve, cleanup crews were here just days ago. So the tents are gone. But neighbors, they worry it won't last.
- [15:04]
B
They say the people living here, they.
- [15:06]
A
Broke this window to get to this electrical outlet. You have to see the Tenderloin district of Philadelphia. You people. I swear to God, I swear to God, I've got some stuff coming out of New York. I'll tell you in a second. I do want to mention that Gold was at $4,500 today announced, by the way, an ounce for gold, silver, $81.45 earlier today. Silver. Okay, so you remember those coins you got, those old silver dollars you had? You might have a few. I had a few. I've got a few. They're worth a lot of money now, right now if you're a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering rebate up to $10,000 on quiet qualifying purchases. Maybe it's time to get on the gold train. I've been talking about it for a while. Been talking about it for a while. You listened to me all last year watching the price of gold through the ceiling. And it's still going. It's still going. So if you want to convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold, you're still eligible for a rebate up to $10,000. I don't know what else I need to do here. I need to do some sort of dance. Do I need to take off my shirt for the ladies and some of you guys, because I haven't been working out. You really need to text my name to get information. Okay? Just text my name. Rob to 989-898 to ports cold. Could take advantage of a rebate up to $100,000 when you buy by January 30th. You got a bunch of money in a 401k that's just lying there. Why don't you do something about it? Text my name. Rob to 989-8984. Birchgold. This is Sia Weaver. She has never owned a home in her life. She probably is still paying her student loan for a worthless degree. But she's the new New York City tenant advocate who is calling to seize private property, which is what Maduro did in Venezuela and what, of course, the Castros did in Cuba. But she's a stupid ignoramus.
- [17:04]
B
I think the reality is, is that for centuries.
- [17:08]
A
Oh, my God. She's an up talker, too.
- [17:10]
B
We've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good.
- [17:16]
A
No, it is an individualized good, you idiot.
- [17:19]
B
And we are going to. In transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some.
- [17:35]
A
Oh, that's racist. Oh, yeah. Oh, she gonna be in all sorts of trouble.
- [17:39]
B
POC families who are homeowners as well are gonna have a different relationship.
- [17:45]
A
Just try and bring that crap my way, sister. Just try and bring that crap. Here's a little bit before. Before she got named as the advocate who knows D word for Richard about property ownership. Democratically controlled public housing is really important.
- [18:02]
B
And that's why when Raquel was talking.
- [18:04]
A
About the communities that she's describing that, you know, that's a creative community where the people who are. Oh, please shut the hell up. My God, you are a child. You are an ignorant child. You've never owned a home. You've never owned anything in your life. You don't know anything but what liberal academia taught you. You're a moron. Here's Harmeet Dhillon talking about. Oh, really? You think you're going to discriminate against white people? That's illegal. Just because you're white doesn't mean you have fewer rights in this country. We all have equal rights in our country and we will not stand for New York City violating any federal law whatsoever. They should be on notice. They are on high scrutiny and we will swoop right in and do what's.
- [18:45]
B
Necessary to protect all citizens and taxpayers.
- [18:48]
A
And residents of New York. I'm going to tell you as somebody who was born and raised mostly poor, when I was a kid, my father, my mother, we raised all of our own produce. We worked our asses off. I've done every kind of filthy job you can imagine. I've shoveled every kind of feces in my life. I'm so done with this white privilege bullcrap. And there are a lot of people who live in poverty still today. More white people than any other in the country live in poverty. I'm sick and tired of these entitled jack weeds now saying, oh yeah, you worked your ass off to own a little property, maybe live in a trailer and that's too much for the Democrats and these idiots. Idiots. It's going to get real big and really ugly for New York. Police are walking off the job. Firefighters are walking off the job. It's going to descend into chaos. Snake Plissken, where are you? Put the snake. You know, snake. Call in the, in the air to get him to come and help out. Lt. Col. Tony Shaver joins us next to talk about Venezuela, Iran and more. Don't go anywhere.

Go to shopbeam.com newsmax today, I will say this about Greenland. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic right now. Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We have, we need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you. Yeah, Denmark, I think they got wooden shoes over there. Yeah, that's Donald Trump talking on Air Force One about Greenland. I know you're probably thinking we're going to start immediately talking about what's going on in Venezuela with, you know, Maduro, but I thought I'd start with Greenland because I got, I wanted to ask somebody who knows their stuff much better than I do, that is Lt. Col. Tony Shaver, the president of Project Sentinel and a 2020 Trump campaign advisor, joins us on the Newsmax hotline. Happy New Year, brother. How are you?
- [21:57]
B
Happy New Year, Rob. Thank you. Well, I hope you're doing well, too.
- [22:00]
A
Hi, brother. I am doing very, very well in Washington, D.C. in what I believe will be one of the most historic years economically for America. And with regard to freedom around the globe, I believe that in my heart of hearts, brother, more than I ever have. How about you?
- [22:19]
B
So I think that President Trump is laying a solid and enduring foundation for what I think he would call a golden return because he loves gold and so do I.
- [22:31]
A
Yes.
- [22:31]
B
And I think he's touching all of the necessary pieces. First, he's looking at high technology for what we need to do regarding advanced intelligence, AI, artificial intelligence, things like that. Secondly, petrochemicals, fuel, you know, liquid gold, you know, you know, all the stuff that we need to have to run the economy. He's opening that up. Prices are coming down. Third, he's very cognizant of what we need to shape regarding the world. And America first doesn't mean we, this is one of those things. America first doesn't mean we don't work with other nations. It just means that we look at our interests primarily. And then, and then fourth, he's been, I think, building an enduring trade relationship based on where we sit within the world. And these things are going to be something important because he wants Venezuela to be great. He wants all these nations to be great because when they're great, they can work as cooperatively.
- [23:30]
A
A strong America is strong for freedom around the globe. And it makes the despots. It makes the despots. What about Greenland, though? What are we going to do there? Because I know that China, Russia, trying to establish a footprint around there and the United States needs to put the foot down up there. What are the possibilities? It sounds like the people of Greenland are kind of down with it. Denmark, not so much. But Denmark is a bug on. Is a pimple on my butt. So what about Greenland?
- [23:54]
B
Well, I got a question on Australian TV about this earlier because they're a bit worried. It's like, I wouldn't worry. I mean, yeah, it's uncharted territory, but it's not like the United States has not had a long, enduring presence in Greenland. I mean, one of the jokes, Rob, in the army is that if you screw up bad enough, they're going to send you to it. To our base in Julie.
- [24:13]
A
Greenland.
- [24:15]
B
It's true.
- [24:16]
A
The Western Front.
- [24:18]
B
That's right.
- [24:19]
A
So.
- [24:19]
B
So we've been there since essentially the beginning of World War II, and we've always stayed during the Cold War, we had. We still have great interest there. So he's correct about the national security interest. The thing is, Denmark didn't really care about Greenland until we started caring. Yeah, it's like, it's like, yeah, it was in their attic and they really weren't concerned about it. But more than that, the moment we started showing interest. Oh, we want it.
- [24:42]
A
Exactly.
- [24:43]
B
I think it's. It's a bit of artificial outrage by the, the, The Denmarkians. What do you call Danish? By the Danish.
- [24:52]
A
Yes, the Denmarkians.
- [24:55]
B
So I think it's time that we just kind of look forward before we want to do. And I think the referendum. I think the people would choose to be with us. I think I do, too.
- [25:03]
A
I do, too. And, and imagine what the global price of ice would do. It would go way down. It would go way down. So. So let's talk about Maduro. It wasn't a regime change because the vice president took over. She ordered the police to go after Trump people who, whatever. Trump advisors or whatever in the country. That's not smart. There was gunfire in the streets. What, what is next? We clearly are not in a war. We clearly are not. This, this was not a regime change. But what happens if this idiot decides to punish the people for wanting to be free.
- [25:42]
B
Well, that is happening. I mean, you have people much like when Libya fell, you have kind of tribal rivalries that go back years. I mean, remember some of these people have been essentially sat upon by the regime. And so that's why when they go out and celebrate, they're trying to come after them. So I think that's something that we have to help encourage or discourage, I should say. With that said, Rob, I've been saying on the channel, on our channel, newsmax, I think we have far more connections with the leadership there to include especially the military than we're letting on. It seems to me that, you know, while I'm not diminishing, obviously, you know, as you know, I was with the Secretary of War, Pete Hextep yesterday. I'm not diminishing anything Pete or the team did. You know, I said to his face what an amazing operation. It was.
- [26:30]
A
My goodness.
- [26:31]
B
But, but I, what I'm saying is I think there was much more duplicity by the Venezuelan military than has been acknowledged because I think some of them wanted Maduro gone too.
- [26:41]
A
Just. Yeah.
- [26:42]
B
So I think, I think right now it's a sorting out process. I think we'll know more in about 72 hours about how do we avoid.
- [26:48]
A
Devolving this into some sort of long lasting conflict in the country of Venezuela that we are kind of have a toe in. How do we get law and order and freedom back to Venezuela? Get the, and by the way, we have every right to demand that the US Oil companies are able to take back the properties. Yeah. Because they were stolen by Chavez. So enough of that crap. We have oil leases, they belong to American companies and U.S. taxpayers. But how do we avoid a long conflict here?
- [27:24]
B
And by the way, that's a quick note. You know, apparently the warmth of collectivism didn't work out for US Oil companies. Just saying.
- [27:31]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [27:32]
B
So no, I think we need to work with local proxies. This is one of the things that I think we screw up all too often. We can, we know how to establish, to work with countries who have strong leaders. We just got to let it do. One of the few situations which actually worked out for us is actually South Korea. South Korea became a flourishing democracy with our partner, with them more than us being them. So we can't be them. We got to find people who are willing to make the investment in their own political system to move it forward to be, to work for the people. So we got to find those.
- [28:06]
A
How do we stop slaughtering, like for instance in Iran Donald Trump said, if you start killing people, we're gonna, we're gonna kick you in the ass. So how do we, how do we get involved with that legal.
- [28:17]
B
So the legality of it is going to be a challenge. Just saying.
- [28:21]
A
Yeah.
- [28:23]
B
The reason to do it though is pretty clear in that they have a theocracy who is essentially been ruling that country with an iron fist for, since 1979. The Shah was removed. With that said, I think there's things we can do we're continuing to do economically. Remember Rob, about Iran, Iran, while it produces a lot of oil, they, they can't refine it. They've got to go to other countries to get it refined. So. And then water, I don't know if you knew this. You probably did. Water is in short supply because their agrarian model requires so much water. The people are starving of water. So if you recognize vulnerabilities of their own system and you act on those, we don't have to be the ones that go in there. The people will act in their own interest. That's what I believe will happen.
- [29:13]
A
Well, Tony Schaefer, I'd love to, if we can stick around. I know you're busy, man. Can you stick around for the next break? Sure, sure. All right. Because I want to talk about Iran, I want to talk about Cuba because Cuba libre, I think it's going to happen. Let's take a break and come back. Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shafer on the line will continue the conversation on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, I saw an ad for Relief Factor a while back and I saw a guy literally in tears with how he talked about the pain that he was experienced was gone. It happened to me too. I started it taking a few months ago. My hip was really bothering me and I wondered because I'm the age of, you know, replacement of joints and whatnot, if it could be better. And I started taking Relief Factor and it healed. It's a 100% drug free research based formula created to help your body's natural inflammatory response. The same one that caused everyday aches and pains from aging, exercise, overexertion and just normal living. It helped me with my hip, my neck, my shoulders, all the places that remind you you're not 25 anymore.

An anniversary. Did you know that Frampton Comes Alive? This isn't Frampton, this is Ted Nugent. But Frampton Come alive was released 50 years ago. I, I met Peter Frampton a couple of times when I lived in Cincinnati. It's a great record. It's a great album. When albums were great. I'm sure that Lt. Col. Tony Shaver is jammed to Frampton Comes Alive. Certainly when he was in high school when he had a kick butt car and a stereo. Did you.
- [31:28]
B
No, no, Rob. I didn't have a car in high school because I was in Lisbon, Portugal. And so we had to ride the train everywhere, which is good because we were drinking and drunk half the time. So.
- [31:38]
A
Yeah, well, you were hanging out with a lot of lesbians over there, I guess. Right?
- [31:42]
B
We had a lot of fun doing that too.
- [31:45]
A
All right, so we've got a lot of things happening. Freedom hopefully for the people of Venezuela. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of hispan around the world celebrating this. The Democrat party hating it. So stupid. Because the Democrats hate what they can't be, which is successful and powerful. Honestly, they can't do it without force. They can't do it by with stealing elections and buying people. That's what they hate. That said Iran, right now you've got some hundreds of protests going around the country. Now in some of the little enclaves, the police are joining the protesters. How long does the Ayatollah have? Have.
- [32:21]
B
I think it's a matter in Cuba too, by the way, because internal, internal challenges, like I said, centers of gravity which are failing. So both countries have an economy which does not really exist. It's a central economy. Both nation cases, one is Islamic theocracy, one is communist. And it's very similar. People, people see that they're very similar. It was for the Ayatollah is they're slipping the power slipping because they're not getting plane loads of cash from Joe Biden or Barack Obama.
- [32:52]
A
Yeah.
- [32:52]
B
And so because they don't have those resources, they're limited to trying to manage what they have internally. And it's not much. So the people, the Persians are very much tired of having these, the theocracy, the theocrats, these molo is manage their lives for them. They're very much European in their culture. I think it's just to the point of where the resource issue, the fact that goods and services are not even available. The merchants, what's really different now is the merchants are the ones revolting, not just the people. So once the merchants start saying, hey, we're not going to be, we can't, we can't buy, sell or give services. It's all for the country. What is it all within about two.
- [33:35]
A
Months, I would say. Before that, what is it? The dinar. That is the currency and it used to be 72 dinars for dollar, now it's a 1.3. So wheelbarrows of cash. Where have we seen this before where inflation is so bad you got to bring a wheelbarrow full of currency to buy a loaf of bread.
- [33:51]
B
Yeah.
- [33:52]
A
Never ends well. And I think Cuba is definitely teetering because now everything's gone. The source of income is gone with Venezuela falling and same goes with China. China's in a whole lot of trouble because they got most of their oil from, from Venezuela. That's going to majorly impact like their ambitions on Taiwan. I know that Glenn Beck talked about. What are your thoughts about that?
- [34:18]
B
It's a great point. So to mount an invasion of Taiwan is hugely problematic. There's a number of folks out there have done the evaluation. The bottom line is we would be able to, I think, see it coming. And the very thing we're doing right now would be a huge stumbling block for them because the idea of moving, they probably would need a force of about 600,000 troops, which they have. But it's not the troops, Rob, it's how. How do you get them there, how do you sustain them? And how do you stop us, the US and our allies, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, South Korea from kicking your ass when you're doing it? So it's pretty problematic. I just don't think they can do it, especially now with the oil being cut off.
- [35:03]
A
Now there were some American aircraft flying into Great Britain yesterday, some of those big gunships and whatnot. There was some debate about what was happening. Some said there's some sort of a Venezuelan tanker in the, in the Atlantic and then. But isn't that kind of what the Americans did before we struck the nuclear bunkers in, in Iran?
- [35:25]
B
Okay, yeah, there's some real cautionary recent history that people should be paying attention to, Rob. So, so I think if people, if these leaders are wise, they'll kind of get a hint at the fact that, you know, Donald Trump will do the same thing again, you know, to, To. To meet or exceed his foreign policy goals, no matter what. What it takes at this point. I think people have got that message. I hope so.
- [35:50]
A
You know, you had a chance to talk to Pete Hegseth yesterday, I guess, and you've been, you know, devoted your life to this country and military service. Service. I got to imagine that right now is a high point for morale, for just this sense of excellence. The end of wokeness for our military. It's got to be signaling the beginning of a new and glorious era that we haven't seen maybe in our lifetimes in the military. Yeah.
- [36:15]
B
So I walk around and it was kind of funny yesterday. Pete staff. Well, Pete kind of knew I was going to be there. His staff kind of played a trick on him. You know, I was dressed like everybody else in street clothes because I, I didn't. I didn't get told till the last minute he wanted to see me. So I'm up there. They said, yeah, go. Go stand next to him. Go tell him you're here. And so his. Pete's just kind of standing there getting a brief. And I walk up and I touch his elbow. It's like, man, you would. You can't believe who they let in this place, do you? Anyway, my point. And then I went on to the speech. My point. And he loves it.
- [36:52]
A
I got some.
- [36:53]
B
There's some pictures of this online if people want to see him. So, anyway, Pete and I are friends, so we can do stuff like this.
- [37:00]
A
I love it.
- [37:01]
B
Anyway, but my point being is that he wouldn't give this speech, Rob. He. People were mesmerized. And I was talking to him before and after. It's like, oh, my God, we're back. We see the value of our effort, our labor finally being recognized and appreciated. These people, Rob, have been producing shit for generations. And they became neglected stepchildren, hated by the last two, by the administrations of Obama and Biden. And now they're loved, and now they're valued. And you could see it in their eyes. Brother, this was an amazing event. You know, he gives great speeches, but I could see it in your eyes, Rob. They really love the fact we're back.
- [37:45]
A
And then the Democrat Party couldn't even give credit to a job well done in Venezuela. Honestly, they have no chance of winning the midterm terms. We got to stay on it obviously. But they are so intellectually and morally bankrupt. They hated our military. They kneeled during the anthem. They said that we feel should feel ashamed about our history. They put a bunch of transgendered individuals in charge of the military. They brought in wokeism to our academies. It's a joke and we've moved beyond it. Thank God. 2026 is going to be the greatest year, I think for patriotism, the economy and freedom in the world that we've seen in our lifetimes.
- [38:17]
B
Tony Schaefer oh yeah, I agree.
- [38:19]
A
All right brother, where can people find all your glorious work online?
- [38:23]
B
Well, like I said, go check out my ex account for some special pictures of PX X and me. Otherwise, Colonel Tonyshaer.com thank you. I always enjoy our conversation.
- [38:33]
A
God bless you brother. Take care. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Crosstown Traffic. Love that song. Come on. His drummer was so good. So McDonald's faces a class action lawsuit over the fan favorite McRib sandwich. Listen, if you love the McRib, that's cool. You've obviously never had barbecue and that's fine. Honestly. Dear God, do you still eat craft Mac and cheese as an adult? I mean, do you still eat baby food? Geez. By God, what are you thinking? I said geez. I didn't say the other one. Four customers claim McDonald's has falsely advertised the McRib sandwich as containing real pork rib meat with its distinctive shape because it looks like a rib. If you've seen one that's frozen, that hasn't been cooked, it looks like you shouldn't eat it. Whatever. McDonald's deceptive omissions and misleading marketing have resulted in millions of consumer harm. No it isn't. You're an idiot who eats a crap crap. Then eat the crap. If you think it's actually ribs, you're high. My God, are you out of your mind? Do you also think that the king shaped Chicken McNuggets at Burger King? Do you think there's a part of the chicken that looks like a crown? I mean, are you out of your nut? Here's the truth. Consumers believe they're purchasing a premium pork product, but instead they're using restructured pork using lower cuts such as are you ready? Are you ready? Yum, yum, yum. Pork shoulder, heart, stomach and tripe. That's the good gut rather than the actual rib meat. McDonald's USA is confirmed as false, saying the McRib is deliberately a sleight of hand. The plaintiffs combined with the patty shape falsely signi. Well, they didn't say that. McDonald's didn't say that, but they say it's because it looks like a rib. It's supposed to have ribs. Honestly, grow up and maybe start eating adult food instead of a McRib sandwich. And it's an insult to barbecue. If you still like it, that's really cool. Honestly, that's great. You probably still like Captain Crunch in the morning as an adult. Honestly, the McRib sandwich is so terrible. My God lived in Kansas City for a good share of my life. The McRib sandwich is a crap sandwich. It's terrible. And that people will wait in line and wait for it to show up on the menu and listen. I mean, that's fine if you like it. God bless you. But if you think it's actually rib meat or barbecue, you. My God, are you out of your mind? One other note. Ford reports best annual US vehicle sale since 2019. You know why? Because they're getting rid of EVs. Because EVs are for posers. And if you bought an F150 Lightning, it's like the McRib sandwich of cars. What the hell were you thinking? That's gonna do it for the show. God bless you, America's Foundation. It Donald Trump and this great administration as he makes 2026 the greatest in American history. And until tomorrow, do not catch the stupid or buy an F150 Lightning or a McRib sandwich. See ya.
