Hold it now. You are about to hear the most

[Ralph Renzi]

interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world wide web. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson show hour number three. Back from a couple days off I was. My kids came here. My son and my daughter are with me. My son leaves a week from today. My daughter stays all summer. She's got a teaching assistant position with an art summer camp for kids. I'm so thrilled my little dog is back here. I haven't seen her in nearly seven months. My mom gave me this wonderful little shih tzu named Desi and I just. I tell you, I love loving that dog up the last couple of days is so good. Oh my Lord, it's so good. So good, so good, so good. Depending on where you are at the top of the hour you heard a story about how Americans don't really love America anymore. And it's because the leftist media has been trying to destroy America for a very long time. The Democrat party saying that the Democrat that America is a slave nation. And it's worked beautifully by the way. It's worked beautifully. I normally don't play audio from the harpies from hell show, gosh darn it the View. But I want you to listen to sunny host and spoiled entitled Brad who's never worked a day in her life.

[Sunny Hostin]

I too sat with with Dr. Gates and I learned a lot about my history. I learned that I'm a descendant of the enslaved who built this country for free.

[Rob Carson]

No, they didn't actually. Irish and Germans and English and Italians and Greeks and all sorts of people from all over the world built the country. The slaves worked on the plantations. Largelies just benefited the plantation owners.

[Sunny Hostin]

And that part of my family also enslaved others. And so I think we have a very complicated.

[Rob Carson]

My family came after way after the Civil War. I had nothing to do with slavery history here.

[Sunny Hostin]

I think it's a very complicated country

[Rob Carson]

and at this greatest country in the history of mankind. It's obvious on every metric.

[Sunny Hostin]

I am embarrassed at our government. I'm embarrassed.

[Rob Carson]

I was embarrassed when Joe Biden was

[Sunny Hostin]

the president at our lack of health care.

[Rob Carson]

Obamacare was supposed to fix that.

[Sunny Hostin]

I'm embarrassed on the assault on the press. I'm embarrassed.

[Rob Carson]

No, the, the. The press has been one sided and one dimensional and corrupt of our.

[Sunny Hostin]

Of our Congress. I'm embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, all of that was political indictments. You know that as well as we do.

[Sunny Hostin]

The Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawsuit. I'm embarrassed about all those things. And I'm also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don't think that many Americans.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, the world is shuddering at our strength.

[Sunny Hostin]

Understand that we are part of a

[Rob Carson]

jealous of our economy, wonderful global community. And when you look, you know, screw Somalia. I don't want to be a part of that community.

[Sunny Hostin]

Get our allies. Our allies are now giving us a one star rating as a country.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God. That's terrible.

[Sunny Hostin]

Who cares why I am conflicted about this country because I feel that it is at this point a failed experiment. Quite.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God. How dare you. You wretched, awful woman. You look at everything that America has given the world. London and Paris were around for a thousand years. They were still using the streets as latrines when we were founded. And in 200 years we flew to the moon and played golf. You awful wretch woman. You talk about how racist we are. The greatest people of color to exist. Whether it be science, whether it be jurisprudence, whether that be athletics, whether that be performance on every metric came almost exclusively from America. We invented rock and roll. We invented the. The. The steam engine. We invented the. The internal combustion engine. We made the world smaller. We. We brought the world standards up from a life expectancy much, much higher. My God, woman, Shut up and do your stupid show. I'm so done with. She just pissed on everyone in this country who has fought and died for this country. She just whizzed on every Civil war soldier of the north who fought to free the slaves. She just whizzed on every civil rights leader who changed the world. She is. I swear I'm not going to play any more. View Audio I am so done. The Democrat party is dying like movie vampires. You don't believe me? Don't believe me. This is Erica Kirk at a TPUSA event. Her husband was murdered in public last year. She's a good, indecent person and she got heckled. And I want you to hear versus Sunny Hoston, the spoiled, entitled child who's never had a day in her life, never worked a day in her life, has never missed a meal, has never worked a field like I did from the age of 10 to the age of 23, has never done any of that. Listen to the grace of this beautiful woman whose husband was murdered by someone who gobbles up the same talking points as Sunny Hoston. Erica Kirk protects pedophiles. The most outrageous and ridiculous thing someone could say.

[Sunny Hostin]

It's important to remember that happiness comes and goes, and I pray, pray that you find it.

[Rob Carson]

This is what I mean by overwhelm them with joy and patriotism and faith. This is what I mean. 100%. 100%. Graham Platner is a plant. He has. He's. By the way, he has a 100% disability from the VA for his service in Iraq or wherever the hell she was. He was. So I don't know how he's supposed to be a senator when he's on 100% disability and he runs an oyster farm that only his mother buys oysters from.

[Political Commentator]

Oh, 100%. I think with an individual like Platner, the first thing you have to understand is he's proven himself to be a pathological liar from the very beginning. The oyster business, totally fake. There's no oyster men in representative of the main wire. Everyone who hears that laughs. It's a joke. He's the first oyster man. He's the first person to ever call himself an oyster man or be described that way. There are oyster farms and oyster farmers, but there's no such thing as an oyster man. And if you look at the date that his website for his fake oyster business was created, it was created after Graham for Maine, his Senate website. The entire thing is a campaign prop.

[Rob Carson]

He is the exact same thing as Talarico in Texas. Completely fake. Completely fake. Here is a report on the latest allegations about Graham Platner. We know that he had a Nazi tattoo, a Totenkopf tattoo. He know. We know from some of the women who've come forward, who, by the way, believe all women. Hashtag me too. Said that he knew exactly what it was. Explained it to one of his girlfriends, said, yes, this is a toten cuff tattoo, a tattoo worn by the SS who were in charge of putting Jews in the death camps and seeing them executed. He knew exactly what it Is. And now this.

[News Reporter]

Well, a beautiful day here in Maine where we are expecting to see Graham Platner later. But as you said, another day, another controversy. At this point, it's really almost hard to keep up. So the latest ones here are ex girlfriends of Graham Platner speaking out to the New York Times, saying that he was volatile and toxic. On one woman said that he twisted her arm, shoved her into a room, locked her in that bedroom, and said she couldn't come out until she had calmed down.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I mean, that happens only in abusive relationships.

[News Reporter]

Platner says, listen, these allegations aren't true, but I wasn't a good boyfriend. So let's get into it.

[Rob Carson]

I wasn't a good boyfriend. He wasn't a good boyfriend here as well.

[News Reporter]

This is what he said.

[Rob Carson]

There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about. Hashtag me too. Believe all women are simply not true. Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was. These are the statements of someone who's politically motive. He knew exactly What. Dear God. 20 years. That damn tattoo. He knew exactly what it was.

[News Reporter]

Well, Platner's talking about this chest tattoo. You've probably seen it by now.

[Rob Carson]

He knew what it was. Dear God, come on, give me a break. He knew exactly what it was. He told women about it. He knew exactly what it was. Ro Khanna this weekend said that it was because we sent soldiers off to war, that he was this way in Iraq. How many other soldiers behave this way, behave this way? None of them. He's just an a hole. There you go. Doesn't matter. Yeah, some people who serve are just completely awful people. Graham Platner is an awful, awful person. Here is Ro Khanna willing to excuse me too. Believe all women, all of this nonsense. Discard it. Not believe women, because they want Graham Platner in the Senate. And guess what? He's never going to be a senator. I mean, actually, I shouldn't say that. No, he's great. And you should vote for him in the primary coming up.

[Graham Platner]

View, there's nothing credible at this point.

[Ralph Renzi]

My view is that even according to the New York Times piece, they said

[Rob Carson]

there was no harm, no injury.

[Ralph Renzi]

There was toxicity, no harm or injury.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, he just shoved the woman in the closet and, you know, manhandled her and, you know, call her names and stuff. But it was a bad boyfriend and there was verbal intimidation, which I. Verbal intimidation? Who the hasn't verbally intimidated somebody. Damn. But Graham has made it clear that

[Ralph Renzi]

there was no evidence of violence. That to me is a red line.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I can't wait for them. It's going to come crashing down on them. It's going to come crashing. Everybody who's done this, him, everybody. Where's Adam Schiff on this guy? He's not defending him. Where's Chuck Schumer this week? Where's Chuck Schumer this week? It's only Chris Murphy and like Ro Khanna and whatnot. Lydia Moynihan talking about the the difference between believe all women and me too and Graham Platner. The Democrat party never gave a crap about women.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Mentioned the Christine Blasey Ford incident and o' Connor who is speaking tonight at Grand Platner's.

[Rob Carson]

Christine Blasey Ford didn't even know where the party was, what year it was and had no witnesses whatsoever of the alleged incidences between her and a Supreme Court justice back in 1982 or so.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

Event was very supportive of her and the Democratic ethos for a long time was believe all women. Believe all women. Of course, Christine Blasey Ford was lauded. She was hosted on the View, on the COVID of Time magazine. She was on cbs. She was a celebrity for the left. And there was no evidence actually to suggest that she had even met Brett Kavanaugh. And yet Democrats embrace that hook, line and sinker. And now that has changed and it's only changed because the act the accuser against Graham Platner is a Republican. That is it. There is no difference. The only reason they want to discredit her and the very people who were defending Christine Blasey court are now attacking.

[Rob Carson]

Look at the lows the Democrat party is willing to go to try to get a victory. All of the things about this guy is just, it is overwhelming. This is the soul selling. This is the complete and utter soul clear out, clear out sale for the Democrat Party. This is where all the souls are sold to the devil in hopes of a Democrat victory. That's not going to happen. That's not going to happen. Here is Scott Jennings talking about sat

[Political Analyst]

here for 10 years and listen to virtually every Democratic pundit call Donald Trump and Republicans Nazis for 10 straight years.

[Rob Carson]

Really?

[Political Analyst]

They're now lining up behind a guy with a literal Nazi tattoo who I

[Rob Carson]

don't think Donald Trump had that literally

[Political Analyst]

lied about it and who oh, by the way, has apparently got credible abuse allegations from a number of women who

[Rob Carson]

have tagged me to no reason to lie about me too. Only if you're, you know, Democrat.

[Political Analyst]

This and every reason to Warn the American people about it.

[Rob Carson]

Democrat victims.

[Political Analyst]

Pretty disgusting. The Nazi tattoo thing, I'll never get over it. No one should ever get over it. But it ought to tell you where the energy is.

[Rob Carson]

I don't know if they really called Donald Trump a Nazi.

[Gordon Chang]

Very.

[Political Commentator]

And let me ask you tonight, do

[Rob Carson]

you think Donald Trump is a fascist?

[Sunny Hostin]

Yes, I do. Yes, I do.

[Rob Carson]

This guy's tendencies towards leaning towards dictatorship is un American.

[Sunny Hostin]

It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler.

[Rob Carson]

No, he didn't.

[Sunny Hostin]

The man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.

[Rob Carson]

But he never had a Totenkopf tattoo on his chest for 20 years. Good luck with that soul sale because sooner or later the devil is going to get his due. Let's take a break and come back.

[Graham Platner]

I'm Graham Platner.

[Political Commentator]

P. Hustle.

[Rob Carson]

Hustle?

[Political Commentator]

That's what you call him?

[Rob Carson]

That's what you're calling him?

[Political Commentator]

Oh no, that's, that's how he described himself. He Hustle.

[Sunny Hostin]

That's his name.

[Political Commentator]

I mean the MSN folks you love, P Hustle and that msn. Now we're asking because he's awesome, right? Was it the Nazi tattoo? Is it the insult and the Kik account?

[Rob Carson]

How do you think Democrats should handle this? He's likely to become the Democratic nominee.

[Mint Mobile Advertiser]

For the Senate next week.

[Political Commentator]

Some Democrats will defend that mess. I will not. So it's really up to Maine voters. So the people on Ms. Now, they want to defend a guy with a Nazi tattoo.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Political Commentator]

Okay. If he wanted to defend a guy that describes the American army as absolute trash. Okay. If, if you know P. Hustle said that Purple Heart awardee is a dumb that doesn't deserve to live. Okay. You know a guy that was probably dropping pics for the decade on Kick. Why would. Why is.

[Rob Carson]

That's pictures of his private He Hustle on.

[Political Commentator]

On Kick. I mean Kick has serious issues. Lack of kinds of controls.

[Rob Carson]

Oh yeah, it was a pedophile magnet is what a lot of underage people.

[Political Commentator]

It's really been controversial. Why was he on it for a decade?

[Rob Carson]

Democrats are gonna. Oh my goodness, they are gonna pay for this endorsement.

[Graham Platner]

What do you think?

[Political Commentator]

I mean, question who's investigating why? I mean, was he sure that he was only talking to, you know, women that are old. Old enough. I mean, what was his protocol? How could he be sure?

[Rob Carson]

Are you concerned that there's more to drop?

[Political Commentator]

Well, he lied to everybody. He said that. That there wasn't any after his Nazi tattoo situation. And now there's more and more the things. So he's already lied about that.

[Rob Carson]

That is John Fetterman. But no, I think you should vote for He's. All of these things are lies. So you need to vote for Graham Platner. You will definitely not regret it. James Carville, who is just poisonous with Trump derangement syndrome, he says he wouldn't vote for Platinum. But what would you say to a Republican who says, James, if there was a Republican combat veteran who had a Nazi tattoo, a Totenkoff tattoo, you wouldn't be so forgiving. What would you say to that?

[Gordon Chang]

I would say you're exactly right. If that person was a four time combat veteran, I'd say I'd never vote for him. Or maybe it's her. Now we have women in combat, but you know, you can't. But I wouldn't vote.

[Rob Carson]

I wouldn't vote.

[Gordon Chang]

But I think the greatest thing that we face right now is some Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, there you go. And this is where they're doing it. They're saying it. Oh yeah, it's much worse to vote for somebody who's a Donald Trump acolyte.

[Political Commentator]

I'll start with you because he's a member of your party. Does that concern you?

[Rob Carson]

This is Veronica Escobar. Very concerned about Graham Platner, but more concerned with moderate Susan Collins.

[Graham Platner]

Of course. Of course it concerns me. But I will also say what concerns me, even at an even greater level, is Susan Collins getting reelected. She has given cover and comfort to the most corrupt, incompetent.

[Rob Carson]

He's not. And he's not incompetent or corrupt.

[Graham Platner]

President we've ever had would be Joe Biden. And hopefully the people of Maine will take away the seat from her, whoever the nominee is. And if folks are leaving the door

[Rob Carson]

open to the possibility he ain't going to be. He's, he's not going to make it. He's going to be the nominee, but they're going to drop him before the, before the election. That's what I think anyway. Katie Zakaria, she's awesome. We've had her on the show. She says that the New York Times piece about Graham Klattner, that was kind of bad. There was a reason.

[Political Commentator]

What do you think the Times was getting at here? What was their end goal while watching

the New York Times in general? They are basically promulgating whatever the DNC wants them to. So I feel, and I see as the reporting goes, they're trying to kind of soft take down Platner, but do it in a way that gives information without completely taking them down to see how the voters respond. Now, all those interviews with a lot of the vain, excuse me, the Maine Democrats, they're excited about himself. So I think they're deciding, do we keep him in the race or do we pull him out? Who knows?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, here is Mark Warner. He's a senator from the state of Virginia. Complete slime ball. And he is. I mean, this guy's trying to straddle this issue from every way, which way and forward. You know, it's not on my mind. It's not my race. I'm focused on my race. We leave it up to the people. Listen to this weasel.

[Political Commentator]

Ask about the Democratic Senate in Maine. Graham Plattner. New reports of unsettling behavior towards women he dated in relations, that he sexted multiple women while married.

[Rob Carson]

Now, platinum strongly on an app that appeals to children.

[Political Commentator]

Disputes allegations of physical intimidation or altercation.

[Rob Carson]

13 year old.

[Political Commentator]

What do you think? Do you have concerns about the potential for platinum?

[Rob Carson]

Of course I do.

[Political Commentator]

But if these allegations are true, obviously they're disturbing this father of three daughters. But end of the day, the folks in Maine are going to decide that. I've got my own.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah, put it up on the people of Maine. They're the racist misogynists trying to get rehired this year. I'm more concerned about my race.

[Political Commentator]

That's what I'm focused on. I wish we lived in a world where everybody's behavior was maybe what we had in the, in the earlier times from elected officials.

[Rob Carson]

But belonging to Kick is a disqualification. A Totenkoff tattoo is a disqualification.

[Political Commentator]

That's all folks in Maynard can make that decision.

[Gordon Chang]

Well, oh my God.

[Political Commentator]

I understand that you're saying that, but Democrats were quick to believe other women who accused powerful people. Christine Blasey Ford made allegations at Brett Kavanaugh against Brett Kavanaugh when allegations surfaced nine years ago about former senator Al Franken. You said sexual harassment, misconduct and assault is never all right and cannot be.

[Rob Carson]

Meanwhile, the Nazis fight tolerated.

[Political Commentator]

Should, should you believe, should those women who are saying these things about Platinum be believed?

I think the sexting with. I think he's acknowledged that. I think his wife has acknowledged that. This is a guy that served had ptsd.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God.

[Political Commentator]

End of the day though, it's. Is it really?

[Rob Carson]

When you sell your soul, the devil will get his due. And the bill's coming. Platner's not gonna be the nominee. Eventually. They're gonna pull him out of the race before the election.

Gordon Chang, China relations expert, author, the Coming Collapse of China Plan Red China's Project to Destroy America on X at Gordon G. Chang, and he's on the Newsmax hotline. Hello, my friend. How you doing today?

[Gordon Chang]

I'm fine, Rob, and thank you so much.

[Rob Carson]

I, I enjoyed the, the. You, you, you put this wonderful tweet up. Today, the sun rises over our world of beauty and wonder. That's every day that I wake up, Gordon, except for. I think we do things a little differently. I like to say most people just get out of bed. I get fired from a cannon. But. But I do appreciate the beauty of the world we live in, particularly America in 20 in its 250th birthday.

[Gordon Chang]

Well, you know, the important thing here is that we're always so busy. You know, we're always so obsessed with things that we sometimes don't see the important wonders that God gave us. And that's what I've been trying to do with these tweets, because I know that sometimes I see this stuff, and yet every once in a while I slow down and I'd like other people to do that as well.

[Rob Carson]

We do that, Gordon, you know, you and I, you're, you're a pundit, an expert on China, an author, and all of these things. And, and sometimes it's nice to share the human side of you and that you are more than just the guy we go to on all things China and Asia. And I just think it's important. I, I'm glad you shared that. And, you know, I consider you a friend. I've known you now for going on seven years. Can you that Gordon Chang, I've known you for like seven years. It's kind of crazy.

[Gordon Chang]

I mean, time flies very, very fast.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, it does, brother. All right, so a couple things going on I want to mention so that the same kind of garbage that's happening in California and Democrat states and nationally in America with regard to vote theft is happening in South Korea. Tell me what's going on over there. What. Who is doing this? Why are they doing it? What are the. What's going to happen?

[Gordon Chang]

But there were municipal elections across South Korea on June 3, and there have been widespread instances of irregularities. The most important irregularity has been a shortage of ballots in places which were expected to give heavy majorities to opposition candidates. And so there has been now protests, and they're growing protests, good people, surrounding the National Election Commission. There are calls for an independent investigation into the election because there have been so many irregularities and by the way, during this decade, South Korea has not held a fraud free election. There have been widespread problems in all of the elections this decade. And some people say even going before that.

[Rob Carson]

Is the fraud coming from the left like it is here? Is, is it impacted by China, I'm assuming?

[Gordon Chang]

Yes, it is. Right now we have a deep leftist president, E.J. mung, and what we're seeing at the National Election Commission now and in previous elections were basically fraud by the left. Now that's not to say that the right doesn't commit fraud in Korea. It does. But what we have seen recently is the left created irregularities across these elections. And so it is helping leftist candidates.

[Rob Carson]

I am interested as to the reaction to it and the protests because I would like the same thing to happen in Sacramento today. But, but you suppose this is a pretty big groundswell. Is this going anywhere anytime soon?

[Gordon Chang]

It is. Certainly the crowds in Korea are growing and this is, this is important because people are now said they've had enough. We go back to the first election that I followed in Korea, which was the 2020 National assembly election.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Gordon Chang]

And there the fraud was so open, so widespread that people were saying that the results were, you know, they were saying that God had to have committed election fraud for this to be so widespread.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's the way it is in California. It's what's right out in the open. Gordon Chang. It's. It's right in the open in California.

[Gordon Chang]

Yeah. There's a way to deal with this in the United States and neither party will back this, but it's very simple. You can have essentially fraud free elections if you have only paper ballots. If you count them in public and you have voter id. Yes, you do that. You eliminate almost all the fraud.

[Rob Carson]

This is what they want to do with the same act.

[Gordon Chang]

Yes. And, but we need to go to paper ballots in all elections in Taiwan. What they do is they have clear plastic ballot boxes and everyone can see that there are no ballots in as voting starts. Then when voting ends, an election official will hold up every ballot to people in the room. And so everybody has a tally, which means it is not possible to fake tally. I don't understand how in this country we can have municipal workers in rooms that are closed off to the public counting ballots. That to me is just a recipe for fraud.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it is fraud. Dear God. I mean, we're not stupid. I know. Honestly, I just, I use that expression, you know why I know there's voter fraud in America? Because I'm not stupid. I get tired of Trump trying to fight against people who are telling me that the sky is green. Let's move on to, to Iran. What's going on? Iran, they are proving after two months of a cease fire that they cannot be trusted. I am hoping that some sort of resumation of military action is going to happen. It's already happening with Israel. I'm hoping the United States will finally put the, the IRCG out of our misery. That said, what about China and Iranian oil?

[Gordon Chang]

Yes, there are two ways that Iran is continuing to sell oil to China. One of them is reported by the Wall Street Journal about a week ago, which we've known for quite some time, and that is ships of the Dark fleet. They will leave the Strait of Hormuz, they'll go off to places like the coast of Malaysia. There will be ship to ship transfers after the ships turn off their transponders, and then the oil will end up in China. The other way is there's a rail line that connects Iran to China. And on that rail line there are tank cars full of Iranian oil going to China. Now, it's not an enormous amount of oil, not nearly as much as you can ship, but nonetheless it is important and it's important for the United States to cut it off. And it's not just a question of cutting off the money. It's a question of showing both Beijing and the IRGC or whoever is running Iran right now that the US Means business. President Trump can do this. He's known about this forever and he hasn't done it. And the American people need to say to our president, look, if you're in this war, then finish it, win it. Do not let the United States to be humiliated as the IRGC or whoever is running Iran is humiliating the United States right now.

[Rob Carson]

It sounds like we're kind of on the same page here as far as what needs to happen. And I've been predicting this since the day the ceasefire was started. I think it's foolhardy. I think they have shown that all they're doing is rebuilding their missile batteries, etc. They started firing missiles at Israel again. They're just as belligerent as they were at the very beginning of this. And I think it needs to be. We need to put them out of our misery with Israel's help. Your final thoughts on this, my friends?

[Gordon Chang]

Oh, absolutely. I mean, if you're in a war, you should win it. I don't. You know, people are saying, let's try to manage the situation, let's try to come to A negotiated agreement. You can't do that with the Iranian regime right now. So you got to go out and win the war.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely, 100%. Gordon Chang, I appreciate you finding the time for us today. You've got a host of books, as I mentioned. China's Project to Destroy America Plan. Read the Coming Collapse of China. I could go on and on. Gordon G. Chang on X. Gordon, thank you so much for your time today, man. I appreciate you.

[Gordon Chang]

Oh, I appreciate it so much, Rob. And stay safe.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. An amazing interaction that I had it talk radio convention on Friday. I'm gonna share that in a moment. Buy gold and put some silver in your pocket. I know what you're thinking. Everything's expensive. Why am I gonna buy gold? Well. Well, you need to pull your head out of the sand. One thing you can control right now that doesn't cost you anything out of pocket is diversifying your retirement savings. Burt's Gold can help you convert an old IRA or old 401k from a previous employer or an IRA into a physical IRA in gold. I had a 401k from when I sold cars and it was doing nothing, just laying there like Joe Biden on a lawn chair pooping his pants on the beach in Rehoboth Beach. Right now, Burt's Gold is going to give you a special America 251 ounce silver round for every $10,000 you purchase by July 10th. It's a keeper. Like those bicentennial quarters you still run into every once in a while. Ten years ago, an ounce of gold was 1200 bucks. Today it's around 5, $4,500. Where will it be ten years from now? Text Rob to 989898. Take advantage of a free America 250 silver with qualifying purchase before July 10th. It's coming up July 10th again. Text Rob to the number 989898 for that free silver round when you purchase $10,000 in gold and then you can sit on it and watch it grow. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not going to say anything about that. Text Rob to the number 989-898. Today I met this wonderful woman. I had been running audio from Kathy Barnett's show from WPHT in Philadelphia. She had a panel of black men on her show talking about why they were leaving the Democrat Party party. And I've got a little sample of it here. Hold on one second.

[Kathy Barnett]

At best, I'll have these n words Start that again.

[Rob Carson]

I want you to hear the whole deal. Here it is.

[Kathy Barnett]

From my research, Lyndon Baines Johnson said it best. I'll have these N words going Democrat for the next, what, 200 years? He says something like that. And when you have a party that is promoting everything that this book, the Bible, goes against, at a certain point, people just like, oh, this is crazy. Multiple genders. What is that? I can't. I can't even discipline my children anymore because you want to take my children away from me. What is that? You saying my wife should leave the home and not me? What is that? I can cut my genitals off and I could become a woman. What is that?

[Rob Carson]

Now, I didn't realize this was just a weekend show. And I see this woman walking there, and I see on her name tag it says, wphd Kathy Barnett. And I went, kathy Barnett? She's like, what the hell are you. I said, I've been using the audio for your show for about a month now. And she goes, that's why it blew up. That's why it blew up. She. She just does a weekend show, but she's also an author. She used to work with Vivek Ramaswamy during his presidential campaign and all of this. And. And she said, I can't believe it. It just. All of a sudden, it just blew up. Just out of nowhere. Everybody knew about me. I was watching thousands of views and all of this. And of course, I'm going to take credit for it. Are you kidding me?

[Ralph Renzi]

Duh.

[Rob Carson]

But I had a delightful conversation with her. And later in the conference, this talkers conference in New York on Long island at Hofstra University, the best broadcast program in the country. The head of Newsmax Podcasting Audio, Ralph Renzi, who's just been hired earlier this year, and our revenues are up 300%. We became top 10 political commentary podcasts in America, number 42 for news no matter. 250 out of the 4.8 million podcasts, number 250. Ralph Renzi was a big part of that. Of course, my content also helped. But Ralph said, man, I. I need you to. I need you to come over and tell Kathy something. Because I talked to her several times since then. And he said, rob, would you mind sharing with Kathy the. What happened when you were. Why you were given up for adoption? Now, I have no problem with this because I've been talking about it for a while, and I want to witness to people. So I said, kathy, this is going to be hard. My mother gave me up for adoption. Because she was raped. And she looked at me and she said, that happened to me, too. My mother was raped and she collapsed into an embrace with me. I didn't expect it. I haven't cried about it since the day I found out about it. I internalized it. I've shared it. But as far as the emotion surrounding it, I put it down so I could witness to you about it. And I knew it would, you know, resonate with people who want to keep a baby. And we cried. I did not expect this. We cried. And her husband came over and gave us a hug, and Ralph came over and gave us a hug. And sometimes you. You wonder about serendipitous things happening. And I've talked about those. You know, I've talked about why I'm here in Washington, D.C. why my wife divorced me, why I had to sell cars, why I was healed from the death throes of alcoholism by a miracle from God. Then I meet this woman who I just discovered a couple weeks ago, hearing her show, hearing what she had to say with this panel going, wow, wow, wow, this is really me. And then run running into her and then having that happen. There has to be something going on. Somebody just said on the rumble chat, it was a God thing. I believe that. I believe that. I wanted to share that story with you. It was a radio, a convention. It was. It was wonderful. After doing this, doing radio since 1989, as a kid, for the first time in this industry that has slighted me, I had to sell cars for three years. Recognized what I'm doing here. After putting all my stuff in a U Haul trailer and hauling it behind my Bronco. 10 months to go to Washington, D.C. building a studio with my own blood, sweat, tears and money, and then going from there to where I am now. And then in the midst of all of this, meeting this woman with her story, I just thank God for it. I just thank God for it. I'm still trying to make sense of it, but I thank you, God, for it. We're going to have Kathy on later this week to share, but I wanted to share that with you what an amazing experience I had in my time off. My first time off since December, and this happened. And I thank God for it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I gotta play this great sound bite from Donald Trump dropping the mic and stepping on it with Kristen Welker.

[Graham Platner]

It was rigged.

[Political Commentator]

Let's keep talking about.

[Gordon Chang]

I want to talk about.

[Graham Platner]

Talk.

[Ralph Renzi]

You have more evidence. There's more Evidence than ever presented. Let's talk your elections in this country. We're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked and Meet the Press is crooked and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. But Mr. President, one sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because. Thank you, darling. Have a good day.

[Political Commentator]

Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.

[Rob Carson]

All I know, yeah, I probably threw in a private, private jet or first class.

[Ralph Renzi]

You poor little hour on and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonor.

[Political Commentator]

Listen, we traveled all the way to

[Graham Platner]

Wisconsin for this interview.

[Rob Carson]

Stepped on the mic. Stepped on the mic, baby. Enough is enough.

[Ralph Renzi]

Jim Gossett out in California. They are cheating once again.

[Rob Carson]

Thought we could use some comedy.

[Ralph Renzi]

Waiting for those phony mail in ballots to come in.

[Rob Carson]

Kinda what I'm known for.

[Ralph Renzi]

Only one reason for the count to take so long. They cheated because on election night the GOP was strong. Finding ballots everywhere, waiting votes out of thin air.

[Rob Carson]

Nitwit ramen noodles.

[Ralph Renzi]

The corruption, it runs deep. The media is sound asleep.

[Rob Carson]

She lost.

[Ralph Renzi]

If you think fraud's not involved, you're clueless, dude. Now don't tell me, go to Sacramento. We're not getting screwed.

[Rob Carson]

Protest.

[Ralph Renzi]

Wouldn't be surprised if it went on another week.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, no.

[Ralph Renzi]

As Democrats connive and get the outcome that they seek, that's what they. They are screwed. And Spencer, Brett, there is no debating that.

[Rob Carson]

Do not concede.

[Ralph Renzi]

He was in the lead till they got the votes they needed.

[Rob Carson]

Everybody knows they cheated. Don't concede.

[Ralph Renzi]

Prosecuting Democrats should be pursued. Now don't tell me we're not getting screwed. No, don't tell me we're not getting screwed.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That is brand new from Jim g. Go to patreon.com Jim Gossip Comedy. It was one of the things we covered at the, at the talkers convention. And there is nobody in the country, there's nobody in conservative talk radio and punditry that's using comedy. And I did that for Rush Limbaugh. They all recognize that. I brought that to Rush Limbaugh as a young kid. And it's still alive and it's still fresh and it's still amazing. And I think it's one of the things that has caused the show to grow so meteorically. And we are just starting. I just started. This is my second job in talk radio right here. This is my second job. Rush got his break when he was 37. Glenn Beck got his break, but he was 37. I got my break in my 50s. And we're just getting started. Conservative comedy is ascending because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. Over. They'll welcome them with joy and patriotism and faith. God bless you. America is found in Donald Trump. He's doing a great job on troops that are going to kick Iran's rear end. And until Wednesday, don't catch the stupid. I love you guys. See ya.
