2. Migration Trends & State-by-State Exodus

• Out-migration from Democratic-leaning states like Maryland and California attributed to progressive governance; contrasts with inflows to Republican-leaning states.
• Jabs at Democratic state officials for policies—especially taxation and gun control—leading to resident flight.

• With NYC as a case study, Carson and Doug Burns dissect the election of progressive mayors reliant on immigrant and young voters, subsequent “buyer’s remorse,” and the link to urban decline.
• Doug Burns argues that “bait and switch” moderates run leftward once in office and draws parallels to historical cautionary tales about disarming populations.
• Violent crime cases (e.g., the Stephanie Mentor murder) are cited as failures of “Soros prosecutors” and permissive justice reform.

Quote:

• Encourages listeners to stay positive and ride the “wave of patriotism and populism sweeping our country and around the world.”

Quote:

"If you're going to do satire and you're going to do comedy, there has to be truth. Otherwise...it's not funny. This is why Colbert is gone. This is why Kimmel is going to be gone."

The episode offers a snapshot of right-leaning media’s priorities in an election year, focusing on voting security, migration, urban policy, gun rights, and the ideological battles shaping the country.

My name's Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform, trusted by over 200 million people.

[Rob Carson]

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.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

This is the Rob Carson show. Hour number three. We're able to talk to Doug Burns at the bottom of the hour. Doug Burns, former federal prosecutor, one of my favorite guests of the show for all things legal. All things Legal at the bottom of the hour, maybe talking about what's going on Maricopa county and, and down in Georgia, Fulton county, with regard to the FBI asking for ballots and, and records on the 2020 election because you see there was a whole bunch of fraud. Then also in 2022, in Maricopa County, 65% of the voting machines stopped working. And a lot Republicans just happened to live there and were turned away from the polls, went to another location. By the time they got back, they couldn't vote. It was kind of. It was kind of crazy how that happens. Kind of crazy. It's like we need the SAVE act or something. Yeah, we do. We'll get to that. And we'll get to that in a second. I just got this little graphic I just reposted on my social media. It is from visual Capitalist. The net migration loss and gain per 10,000 inhabitants. States around the country. Okay, so my home state of Iowa lost 3.3% per thousand 10,000 inhabitants. North Dakota only point one percent. South Dakota gained 9.3%. They don't have an income tax up there. It's beautiful in summer. The winters are up, you know. Idaho up 63%. People moving to Idaho. Montana 23% up. Wyoming 23%. California down 25. Texas up 23%. Florida up 7. Georgia up 13. Alabama up 30, 36. Arkansas 33%. Oklahoma up 26%. It's kind of crazy. Let's look over here on the east coast. Maryland down 27%. You know why? Because Democrats have made Maryland suck. Virginia is down 2. Isn't that crazy? Because we have a crazy cat lady now in charge of the government down 11%. It's only going to get worse. It's only going to get worse because they're insane. This idiot in the state house in Virginia, his name is Scott Surovel and they're introducing all sorts of gun control language and trying to take away your right to keep and bear arms. And this moron decided he'd talk about guns. Now, for those of you even have a rudimentary. And I'm not a gun expert by any means. I just grew up with them and you know all of that stuff. And so I know a few things, but I'm not a gun expert. But are you gun experts? You're gonna. You better put down anything you're drinking right now because you're gonna do a spit take when you listen how stupid and ignorant this jackass is.

[Rob Carson]

If you have an assault rifle, you can keep it. If you have an assault pistol. If you, if you want to have one of these pistols with a silencer on it and a pistol grip in the front, a really big, big pistol. If you want to have one with a telescope on it or lasers.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Sure, a telescope and lasers with the pistol grip on the pistol that you have.

[Rob Carson]

Whatever else you want, that's okay. You just can't buy a new one.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, that's too bad because I wanted a telescope and a laser on my pistol gripped pistol and sell it to anybody.

[Rob Carson]

If you want to have a magazine with more than 15 bullets, you can keep that too. Just can't buy a new one.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

What a complete and utter freaking moron. Dear God, you people. I swear to God. Recall petition for the governor. That's what I would like to see happen. I do have a little bit of, I think good news and consequently I think we need our winning jingle, which just happens to be one of your favorite production elements.

[Rob Carson]

Winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning, lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

It's oh so good.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Polling opinion for Newsom and Harris as wild percentages of Democrats hold negative views of both. You know why? Because they're friggin incompetent and stupid. Other than that, they're great. I mean honestly, this is the best that the Democrat party has to offer. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. So here you go. A poll of 1,000 registered voters. No illegals. It's weird. No dead people. So probably not Democrats. Conducted between February 27, March 3, NBC found that Harrison, especially Newsom, had comparatively low favorability ratings even among Democrats. Probably because he's a scumbag and she's an idiot. Only 52% of Democrats reported positive views of the California governor. If only half of voters in your own party like you, then how can you possibly win a national election? You can't. For comparison sake, Harrison earned a 67% favorability rating among Democrats, probably because so so many Democrats are dim wits. So there's that. There's that. At least one third of those voters have found the candidates lacking. Vice President J.D. vance, widely seen as a current Republican front runner in the 2028 presidential nomination, received 77% favorable rating among Republicans, a 10 point advantage inside his own party compared to Harris and Ocasio Cortez and a whopping 25 point advant. Newsom. Newsom will never be the president or the candidate. Harrison Newsom fared poorly with the broader electorate. Among all voters surveyed, only 34% gave Kamala a favorable rating because she's an idiot compared to 51% unfavorable because she's an idiot. Newsom, the less established national candidate, had lower numbers in both categories. 27% favorable and 45% unfavorable because he's a scumbag and he's completely corrupt. Scott. Charlie Sperling, spearing, I should say, has some more devastating news for these two individuals.

[Rob Carson]

Those polling numbers not good for Gavin Newsom because he's clearly. If he's. If you're the more voters see you and the worse your polls go, that's a death knell for a politician. Notice how he was At Jesse Jackson's funeral, trying to suck up to Obama. Get grinning like a Cheshire cat at a funeral. Not a good look either.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

So.

[Rob Carson]

And today, or just recently, he starts acting like he cares about high gas prices. All of a sudden, the king of high gas prices in California suddenly cares about high gas prices. One more reason why voters are seeing him as just another slick politician. Too slick for his own good.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Not only anybody, he's also filthy, rotten, corrupt. Yamaha is pulling out of California after nearly a half a century, headed to Georgia. 50 years in Orange County. Yamaha Motor Corporation is packing up its headquarters and heading for California because the business climate for Georgia. Because the business climate sucks. California wine industry on its knees as problems doing business in the state get worse. A toxic mix. A variety of things, including falling alcohol consumption, soaring costs of doing business, squeezing vineyards across the state, even the Jackson family wines. Not, not Tito and Jermaine and Michael. The ones who do the Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, which many of you in the audience are quite familiar with. They're, they're, you know, suffering there. Chevron says may move the company out of California to escape Gavin. Gavin Newsom's new idiotic rules. Environmental rules. California special oil blends threatens to dry up, crippling the state and jacking up prices as well. So all of these things are happening as his wife, Gavin Newsom's wife and her firm pocketed $3.7 million from her gender stereotypes charity. Well, that's a really great charity. Wow. So meaningful. Unearthed IRS filings show that first partner of California may have to answer some tough questions on her own. IRS documents from recent years show Gavin Newsom's wife has been paying herself and her company, Girls Club llc, up to a third of her nonprofit entire income each year, pocketing $3.7 million over the last decade. The, the, the nonsense that this, this faux charity called the Representation Project Parents fights against intersectional gender stereotypes and harmful gender norms. That's easy to quantify. You can really tell when you've made some progress in that it's nonsense, bull crap excuse to create a charity. Case you hadn't figured it out, duh. The organization brings in 1 million to 1.7 a year in grants and donations, with roughly 300,000 of it going straight to her company in recent years. Generally, when you own a charity like that, that only brings in that kind of money. The median executive at a nonprofit that size makes $31,000 a year, but she makes $300,000. There you go, 2021. The charity reported receiving 1,082,000 in donations and grants. She got 28%. Next year, she paid herself and her company $302,000 from her charities. $1 million in gross receipts, or 29% for a worthless charity that does nothing. Intersectional gender stereotypes and harmful gender norms. Oh, yeah, you can really see progress, you know, like the rate of leukemia dropping in children, things like that. That's real easy to quantify. Or it's just a smokescreen and a scam, which I'm going to go ahead and say it is actually absolutely a smokescreen and a scam. The. The next big, I guess, hero of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party made a major mistake with this James Rico moron who's running for Senate in the. In the state of Texas. And here, here he is mentioning something the other day in an interview with some dimwit Gen Z podcaster saying that he loves himself some trans children.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

Something that you love that's not family or friends.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, you could say pizza. You could say lasagna. You know, you could say whatever. You could say walking on the beach. You know, I'm actually reading my match.com profile.

[Rob Carson]

I love. I'm just saying this because it's on my mind. The trans children who showed up yesterday at the state Capitol to advocate for their humanity. They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Okay, here's Molly Hemingway talking about his chances of winning in Texas. He couldn't win if he was running in San Francisco.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

Yeah, I just want to point out really quickly, I'm not sure Democrats are in an enviable position. People always think maybe we can turn Texas blue. And they just nominated someone who led the fight to trans children at the state legislature who believes that abortuaries should be in every federal courthouse in the country and that abortionists should be federal employees. Yeah, and he said that God is non binary. This would be difficult to elect this person in San Francisco. The idea that you would put someone

[Rob Carson]

in tech is non binary.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Our trans community needs abortion care too.

[Rob Carson]

There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six. He is Nareen. He is nutty as can be. James Talarico, Jim Gossett. He's a bozo.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

He's a genius.

[Rob Carson]

And a lefty. A threat to democracy. A major psycho.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, you got a great bench, Colorico. Way to go Democrats.

[Rob Carson]

He beat Jasmine Crockett, but he's just as radical.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Worse like mom, Donnie. Way left.

[Rob Carson]

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

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, I think so too. Bye bye. Corby.

[Rob Carson]

The state of Texas. The state of Texas should reject James Talarico.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

They will.

[Rob Carson]

He is loco. Says there's six sexes. God's non binary. That is no joke.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Oh, sure. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Talarico wants abortions for transgender men. He is a sicko. Talarico.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, he's a freak.

[Rob Carson]

What a wacko.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, he is a freak. Jim Gasser if you want to help him out, go to patreon.com Jim Gassett Comedy Patreon P A T R E Jim Guys, come and give him 10 bucks a month. He will send you two parodies every single day. That's how genius he is. Share them with others. Tell them where you heard it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Trump had a, I guess a banner day yesterday. He had a couple of pressers and he was, I thought just on. His game was pretty amazing. Here he is talking about the SAVE Act. I don't think you can politically exist

[Rob Carson]

if you're not going to do voter

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

ID and these things. I don't think the people in this

[Rob Carson]

country will stand for it. So I'm making my biggest plea tonight. It'll make you. And I'm not doing it for this reason at all. It'll guarantee the midterms. It'll guarantee the midterms.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yep.

[Rob Carson]

If you don't get it, big trouble.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

My opinion, if you get this, your

[Rob Carson]

midterms and they know it for two reasons. Number one, they won't be able to cheat.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yes.

[Rob Carson]

And number two, the people are demanding it every time I go out. Save America, sir. Save America Act. We want the Save America act, sir. That's all they talk about. They don't talk about housing. They don't talk about anything. That's what they talk about. And if you send it up that you're going to win the midterms at levels that you can't even believe and you're going to win every election for

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

a long time until somebody screws things up. And hopefully that won't happen.

[Rob Carson]

But I've never been more confident that if we keep these promises and deliver in this popular agenda, the American people will stand with us in overwhelming numbers just as they did in 2024.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

There you go. And the latest reason why the Democrat Party wants the DHS shut down and the government shut down is that they. It's not about just ICE funding. It's about now. You've got to keep ICE away from polling places. Well, why would you want to keep ICE away from polling places. Who's afraid of voting? Illegals. Illegals. People have been signed up, brought across the southern border en masse, given Social Security cards, registered to vote, and it has happened. Give me a friggin break. You know it has. Give me a break. Here is Hakeem Jeffries admitting. Admitting he doesn't want ICE near polling places so illegals can vote.

[Rob Carson]

Completely and totally out of control group of people. It's the reason why we are in a DHS shutdown right now. Because Republicans have refused to agree to the type of bold, transformative, meaningful and dramatic reforms we are.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Which came out of nowhere, by the way. And in December, it was all about Obamacare. Saving Obamacare.

[Rob Carson]

They're looking for anything demanding in order for the Department of Homeland Security funding bill to move forward. And I won't go through all of the demands, much of which we've talked about repeatedly in the public, but one of those demands is keep ICE out of sensitive locations.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Like what?

[Rob Carson]

And we've defined that as schools, houses of worship, and hospitals and polling sites. Oh, we want an explicit prohibition.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

That ICE can go nowhere near.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Why is that?

[Rob Carson]

Any polling sites in the United States.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

It's kind of weird, you know. Remember when you were watching Sesame street, you Gen Xers, you know, one of these things is not like the other. One of these things does not belong.

[Rob Carson]

Of Homeland Security funding bill to move forward.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Here they are.

[Rob Carson]

And I won't go through all of the demands, much of which we've. Demands keep ICE out of sensitive locations.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Okay, here we go. One of these things, not like the others.

[Rob Carson]

And we've defined that as schools.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Schools. Got it.

[Rob Carson]

Houses of worship.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

House of worship. Yeah, yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Hospitals.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Okay, all right.

[Rob Carson]

And polling sites.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

One of these things is not like the other.

[Rob Carson]

We want an explicit prohibition that ICE can go nowhere near.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Wow.

[Rob Carson]

Any polling sites.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

You are just so full of crap. There's peanuts and corn floating in your eyes. My God in heaven. My God in heaven. And here, here's something kind of interesting. This is a state legislator in the state of Michigan. Her name is Representative. Representative Rachel Smith, talking about what she incurred in the state of Michigan. Dead people getting put back on the voter rolls.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

Respectfully, Representative Smith, you know the fact that there are in fact some errors that happen in the system. Every system has errors. And it doesn't mean that there are not safeguards in place. There are safeguards. And you as a clerk, having done many registrations previously, understand that there's a process that you go through and you can ask NASA. There's no process that doesn't have some error inherent in the system. Okay, thank you. And you're very right. When I was a clerk, there were lots of errors in the. That's largely why I am here. I took off a dead voter in my township.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

And guess what? That dead voter was put back on.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

What?

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

Not by me. That was done by the Secretary of State's office. So we need to do a lot of fixing here. When I was a clerk at Martin Township, there was a family member who at one point was registered at my in laws home. And that family member had died nearly 20 years prior. They were put on the rolls at 2020. They were mailed voter application ballots without the authorization to do that. That's the local clerk's job. So I went in there, removed her from the voting rolls because I know firsthand this family member is dead. In D.C. just this past election cycle, lo and behold, that person was put back on the voter rolls and has a card of the early voting location polling.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

There you go. You know, Democrats vote. Dead people vote.

[Rob Carson]

The United States of America vote exclusively Democrat.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Case you didn't know, here is Mazie Hirono with another excuse, insulting American women, saying American women can't vote if it's requiring an id.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

This is not about voter id.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

She sounds like somebody I did a little on talk.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

Oh, stop that. That's like a total of the SAVE Act. Let me just focus on one part of the SAVE Act. In order to register to vote, you're gonna have to show different pieces of documents. So if you're, let's say a woman who got married, change your last name.

[Rob Carson]

And if your last name doesn't match

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

the name on your birth certificate, you're not going to be registered able to register to vote. I call stealing our vote.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Sure.

[Rob Carson]

I'm Julia Child and the recipe for

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

today is public television.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, there are lots of ingredients in public television, but one chief ingredient is money.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

This is not about voter id. Oh, stop that.

[Rob Carson]

That's like a total book.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

You know what I mean? Yeah, a little bit like that. Sounds a little bit like that, right? Actually sounds more like the Saturday Night Live parody by Dan Aykroyd of Julia Child. That's what Maisie Hirono sounds like. Coming up, Doug Burns, federal former federal prosecutor on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson. 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. You are going to love your new Ghostbed. Here.

[Rob Carson]

Believe that we should keep the Department of Homeland Security, that's the name of it, indefinitely shut down to try to force ICE policy changes on an agency that's already funded until 2029 when you acknowledge their sleeper cells. When we all see radical Islamic terrorists throwing IEDs in New York City.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

When we saw a radical Muslim terrorist

[Rob Carson]

shoot up a bar in Austin. When we had tornadoes in Oklahoma and Michigan this weekend when we have TSA lines of five hours we have all these things going on. Is it, is it? Is it?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

No reason I got to tell you I, I would have to. I would start drinking again if I were Scott Jennings. If I, if I had his position sitting in a sea of just morons and INS Kennedy who would be willing to say it is more important to defund DHS because the Democrats don't like ICE than it is to make sure America is safe. As a sleeper cells have been notified to activate in America. There was an attempted bombing by two individuals related to ISIS in New York City and an Iran related terrorist Islamist shooting up a nightclub in Texas two weeks ago. I swear to God the quote that I heard the quote of the day is for Democrats casualties are their ammunition. I thought that was a brilliant take on things. Here to talk about this and other things is Doug Burns former federal prosecutor. Doug, welcome to the Rob Carson Show. How are you today? Good Rob, so you're in the belly of the beast in New York City. You've got a mayor who was elected by 65% of the foreign born population and a lot of young Marxists And I would assume there is a good deal of buyer's remark, Morse.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, no question about it. I mean, you know, when the election cycle kicked in, first of all, you know, the mayor got lucky because the point is he was going against somebody who's, you know, labeled as sort of a disgraced politician. And it's hard to come back from that. Any, any halfway viable candidate who didn't have that so called baggage probably would have beaten him. But I mean, I'm intolerant on this, so I was like anybody who voted for him. It's just hard to believe that you would do that. And then to your point, you know, that you were discussing, you know, there's good news and there's bad news. The good news is they're dying on all the wrong hills. They're dying on like 80, 20, I'll even say 90, 10 issues. But the bad news is you have Democrats like Spamberger and others winning elections. You have an open question about what's going to happen in the midterms. And to anybody who uses logic, you have to say to yourself, how is that possible? And the answer, quite simply is media.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, 100%, it's, it's media. I, I, there, there are, I think there are other things as well. For instance, in the state, the case of Scamberger winning, you had Fairfax and Loudoun county, you had the federal government cutting jobs. So there was that. And then lying. And then lying about who they were.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Lying completely about who they were in Europe.

[Rob Carson]

You've made the point. Exactly. And it was a very strong point. A few weeks back you were teeing up the idea that Spanberger and other politicians, and I think you teed it up as more, you know, getting worse and worse recently. And I totally agree with that. Doing essentially a bait and switch, which is, you know, I'm moderate, don't worry, I'm fine. And then literally within hours of being installed in office, Rob, they're off to the races with, you know, wild to the left stuff. So you're exactly right on that.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, they also are proposing some unbelievable restrictions on the second amendment, which, I mean, there's, there's no way they're going to stand, you know, I mean, they're proposing insane crap, man. I mean, all sorts of taxes on guns, all sorts of restrictions on guns, all sorts of things that have been defeated in the past. They're proposing them. Are they that clueless and stupid? Are they that blinded by their anti gun ideology that they think this is going to end? Well, and become permanent in the state of Virginia, which, by the way, very pro second amendment state.

[Rob Carson]

Yep. You know, it's interesting with the second Amendment, it really is, because you don't have to be a history professor to understand that while self defense as a citizen is very, very important, the real overwhelming issue is disarming everybody as a government subjugation move. Okay. So, you know, people wiser than I have said that if every Jew in Germany had a weapon, there'd be no Holocaust. Okay. That's just Common Sense 101. So baked into their philosophy is to disarm people and then thereby have more power over them. If you think about it.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, of course, 100%. And I always say, and it's very true, that the American Revolution was won by the citizen soldier. They defeated the most powerful army in the history of mankind with their own weapons. Hence the reason why the first amendment was. Or the second amendment was created. It was not for turkey hunting and target shooting. Duh.

[Rob Carson]

There's no question about it. And it's interesting though because from a, like a scholarship point of view, it was always confusing only because of the wording of it, which was, you know, the well regulated militia being necessary. But then it clearly says, the right of the citizens to bear arms shall not be abridged. So again, it's a cultural flashpoint, hot button issue. But, you know, I have no hesitancy and great satisfaction in calling out the underlying agenda, which is to disarm people for control.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Have you heard much about the Stephanie Mentor case? The woman who was 41 years old, who was stabbed to death by a man who had 40 charges against him, including rape that was dropped by a county prosecutor, among other things. Have you followed that case much? No.

[Rob Carson]

Where is that case?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

That is here. You know, we'll cover it another time. I'll send you some stuff on it. I want your thoughts on it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

The Soros prosecutor allowed this guy to go out and he did. What happened to Alina Zarutzka in Charlotte? Stabbed to death at a bus stop two weeks ago by a man who was rapist. He was. He had stabbed another man, broken off a knife in a man, among other things. And then ultimately the. The Fairfax police department told him three times, this man is a danger. And the Soro Poros prosecutor let him out, ultimately resulting in the murder of this. Of this wonderful woman. I will send you details on this. I want you.

[Rob Carson]

This is what happens with this stuff. I mean, when you look at the horrific stabbing on that train. Okay, the point is that goes right back to the Daniel Penny case. Everybody follow me, which is a guy stepped forward to save from a guy who was screaming that I wanted to kill you. And he gets indicted and put on trial in court. Are you kidding me? You don't seem. These people don't realize the effect that's going to have as far as anybody trying to think about being a good Samaritan and trying to help somebody. I mean, again, so these are the residual fallout points. But I'll be very interested, obviously, to read about the case.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

The interesting thing is we are turning Marxism, Communism, all of these things, putting it back on the heels around the world. But there are bastions of it here in the United States and they are allowed to. They win through deception through whatever means. That's how it's able to happen. Because every time that, say, for instance, Mondame, when he won, what happened to net migration to and from New York? People are leaving New York City. It doesn't work. People are leaving California. People are leaving these bastions of liberalism. So the people necessarily don't want it. They're able to get into office by, you know, whatever means possible, including deception. Then ultimately there's buyer remorse and people leave. So I'd like to continue on the other side of the break. Doug, and I want you to think about this. You know, you've got all of these people in New York City who are espousing the death of America. And I want to know what we can do to get rid of people even who have obtained their citizenship and what we can do about them if they are enemies of our country. And I want to cover that. On the other. If you would hold on, please. I'd appreciate that. Okay, no problem. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Every day for 20 years, I devoted myself to making sure my wife and kids were well dressed and ready to face the world. Meanwhile, dad over here wore T shirts and jeans. Now I've discovered quince. Quince has everyday essentials I love with quality that lasts, like linen bottoms and shorts, Pima cotton, European jersey linen. You're not just paying for brand markup or fancy retail stores, just quality clothing. And I look good. Their clothing is rated between four and a half and five stars by thousands of people wearing it every day. Linen shorts are a go to. They don't wrinkle when they're not cheap. The clothes I wear look expensive but aren't. When I go out in the evening, and I do now, I'm actually turning heads. It's nice to feel good and look good. Quince does that for me at a price I can afford right now. Go to quince.com newsmax for free shipping and 365 day returns. Don't keep settling. For clothes that don't last and don't look good, go to Q U I n c e.com Newsmax for free shipping and 365 day returns. Quince.com Newsmax.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

He also told investors investigators that he had hoped to carry out an attack even bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing, which he noted resulted in only three deaths. These statements as set forth in the complaint made clear that this was not random violence. This was a planned attack motivated by extremist ideology and inspired by a violent foreign terrorist organization.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, I was thinking, you know, there's been talk of this, this thing called denaturalization which I think should be considered when it comes to people who move here, refuse to assimilate and essentially espouse violence or commit acts of enormous fraud like, I don't know, a couple tens of thousands of Somalians across the country. Doug Burns, what say you about screening people post naturalization and removing them back to their home countries if they're not willing to abide by the, the rules and decencies of, of a civilized society and as Americans?

[Rob Carson]

No, I think that's a viable concept. Absolutely. The point is, being here is a privilege, not a right. You're admitted under certain terms and if you violate those terms, they should actually focus a little bit more on post naturalization enforcement, you know, for obvious criminal conduct, conduct inimical to the values of the United States, etc. Etc. I mean, the point is, you know, the global point from 30,000ft that we're talking about is, you know, the media, social media, everything just kicking in with all kinds of wild disinformation and then wild conclusions and characterizations. People say at quote, unquote, air quotes, protests, all kinds of vile stuff against the United States of America. And right away it's immediately breathlessly characterized as legitimate First Amendment protests. And that's really the root of the problem and that's the root of the cancer that has to be addressed and cut out because I'm getting just sick and tired of the wild left side characterizations. You look at the war just jumping around, everybody just jumps on liberal cable. This is clearly an extended war. Congress has to declare war. Oh really? Well, the last time that happened was in 1942, and president after president after president has taken military action and 10 times worse. You people not only didn't object to it, but you specifically said, as Nancy Pelosi did, president doesn't need congressional authorization. So again, good news and bad news. The good news is the hypocrisy is so breathtaking that anybody could see it, but the bad news is, is that somehow they get away with it. Rob?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, I, I'm, I'm going to remain optimistic, by the way.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, okay.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Donald Trump re He said that this, this military action was going to take four to six weeks. Do you know why he said that, Doug? It's because he no, no, no, no. It's because he asked the people in charge if we were going to pursue this course, can it be done and how fast can we do it? And they said four to six weeks. It wasn't Donald Trump saying get this done in four to six weeks. Because it took to get to this point, Doug. It took months, it took months to get to this point.

[Rob Carson]

People jump in, you talk about over the skis, Donald Trump for 20 straight years. And I know you know this obviously, but it's worth sort of repeating for Your audience for 20 years violently objected to the notion of, you know, nation building in Iraq and an extended long term thing. And he made it, at least to me, I thought crystal clear that the objectives were to knock out ballistic missile capability, knock out the ability to obtain nuclear weapons, knock them out as the number one state sponsor of terror, then declare the mission over and leave, and hopefully the Iranian people might step up and move in a very positive direction. But anybody who thinks that he intended to go in there with some long protracted war, I just don't see how they completely different.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Now, Doug, back to New York because you live on the isle of Manhattan. I do, and yesterday we dodged a bullet and I think it sent shock waves through the community. You had this police commissioner come out, you had your mayor focus literally for a minute on the white supremacist Islamist protest, not the throwing of the friggin bombs.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, I'm sitting one mile from where that happened right now. And the point is it's just breathtaking and hard to believe, but I know I sound like a broken record, but it's the same exact point, which is how can you have the mayor of New York City come out with those type of comments? How is that possible? Number one, how does the media deflect off of that? Number two, I mean, when the Ayatollah was killed, the New York Times obituary, I don't know if you saw it, they Turn around and call them Cleric, you know, and this and that. It was disgraceful. There was backlash about it, by the way, but not all that much. And so, I mean, New York City, you know, let's face it, followed in the footsteps to a great extent of Los Angeles, Chicago. They ran it off the rails. But working off of your optimism. I'm optimistic that it's going to flame out the way Joe Biden flamed out and there'll be a big time correction course. I mean, at least I hope so.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

I hope so. And I think, and I hope that this scared the crap out of enough people in New York. They're going to do something. And you've also got the mayor's wife giving 70 likes to October 7th, you know, positives about the October 7th attack. She is nuts. She lost her Revlon or whatever contract because of that. And I think it's going to turn very hard against this. This man. This man Van Dami. I hope that too much damage can't be done in the meantime, brother. I really do. I really. Let's.

[Rob Carson]

Let's hope that a not too much damage is done. I mean, there are layers of, what do you call it, insurance policies against wild stuff that he might do. But at the same time, the City Council, Russell, is very, very, very liberal, which is terrible. But you do have Albany and even Hochul, who, you know, I'm certainly no big fan of, but she can actually act as a guardrail. But again, he's going to flame out like Biden. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Well, also, Doug, you know, Margaret Thatcher said that the thing about socialism is you run out of other people's money. And the spigot has been cut off for New York. The spigot has been cut off. He thought he was going to come in and do all this stuff.

[Rob Carson]

You're exactly right. And he's blaming, you know, all kinds of people for, you know, budget shortfalls and all of this stuff. He's in way over his head. I mean, I told you on your show many times that my biggest objection to him wasn't ideology, which is saying a lot. My goodness. Because my objection to the ideology is huge. But the bigger objection is 34 year old with no executive experience whatsoever is not in any position to run New York City.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, yeah. It's like Barack Obama, his first real job was president. All right, I appreciate you, Doug. Thank you. Thank you, buddy. We'll talk to you again soon, okay?

[Rob Carson]

Okay, Rob, I appreciate it. Take care.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

All right, let's Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

I'm walking around the city the last few days. People are coming up to me all over the place to tell me that they're closet conservatives. They're hoping to leave the city at some point. Like, I'm the Harriet Tubman of the underground Republican railroad.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

This is Aaron Wexler, a conservative comedian in New York City.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

I know the vibe in here is kind of funny. We're like this basement low ceiling kind of getting like, like a resistance meeting in East Berlin vibes. Feel like I'm coming to you guys from the other side of the wall, you know?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Guest or Contributor (possibly Mackenzie or Aaron Wexler)]

And if you happen to be here, you just, like, bought tickets for a random comedy show on a Saturday night and you have no idea that you've actually entered a Trump rally.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Jim Gassett)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I told you that conservative comedy was on the Ascension because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. And I'm seeing more and more smart conservative comedians come out unafraid to express their opinion because I know for years you couldn't trust me. I've done this a long time, kids. I've seen it. And it's nice. Because you see if you're going to do satire and you're going to do comedy, there has to be truth. Otherwise, it's. It's not funny. This is why Colbert is gone. This is why Kimmel is going to be gone. Because they lie and all their stuff is crap. This is why SNL's ratings are terrible. They did a stupid monologue with a guy playing Donald Trump last weekend about Iran. Lying about the president's intention with Iran. Wasn't funny. Wasn't funny. You have to have truth. I used to say this when I was talking to Rush, Rush Limbaugh. He's in here. He agreed. You have to have truth for comedy. That's it. That's all there is to it. And that's what I do here. National Park Service announces fireworks returning to Mount Rushmore. Because, you know, Joe Biden did it. Took him away because he was an a hole. He took away the. The right to. Well, not right, but the. The ability to watch fireworks at Mount Rushmore. Donald Trump is returning it, by the way. Also by the way, the White House has announced its final fight card for the UFC fight on the grounds of the White House on July 4th. Then there's going to be a spectacular Grand Prix race through the streets of D.C. in the fall in the 250th anniversary of the country's birth. So there is a great wave of patriotism and populism sweeping our country and around the world. Stay positive. Overwhelm them with joy and patriotism. I'll handle the mockery, ridicule and satire and let Donald Trump handle the butt. Kick it. How'd that sound? I think it sounds pretty good. If you want to listen to the podcast today, go to your usual podcast platforms. Look up Rob Carson Show. Follow me on social media at Rob Carson show or Rob Carson. In the meantime, God bless America's founder Donald Trump, our soldiers in harm's way right now and until tomorrow, which is Wednesday. Don't catch the stupid I love you guys. I'll see you.
