My name is 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, 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.

The CPAC building is like three blocks away. Matt and Mercedes Schlapp go to work there every single day. So I went over there yesterday and, and I got a little tour, got to see it, you know, the whole deal. And in The. In the break room. They got Newsmax right in the middle. They have three big TVs.

They got a pretty fancy office too. By the way. They have a coffee machine in there with like six different kinds of Torani syrup for your coffee. So you want like the French vanilla, sugar free right there in the middle. I'm. I'm talking living large here. Living large. So I went to. I went to cpac. It was kind of cool. It was kind of cool to. To see where it is. You know, I. I'm. I'm a newbie to this, guys. I'm still. I'm still. I'm Mr. Smith goes to Washington, like a Metallica version of that, you know? And when I meet people, I'm still kind of, you know. I ran into Caroline Levitt. I'm like, whoa, Hi. Hi. Hi, Caroline Levitt. How are you? I'm Rob Carson area. I'm like, what? I ran into Jeanine Burro. I'm trying to like, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't even know what to say. Cash Patel. I met Cash Patel, right? So I go to this. This event, and it's for Article 3 project, and. And I'm there, and it's in a. It's in a bar. I'm not drinking, of course. And. And. And I see Cash Patel. So funny. You're gonna love this. Mike Davis is hosting it. It's really funny because I had never met Mike Davis. He's like, Rob Carson gave me a big hug going, whoa. Okay, cool, Right? So I see Kash Patel walking right at me, and I blurred out because I couldn't believe it. I went, cash Patel. And I scared the crap out of him. And you don't want to scare the crap out of the FBI director, but I did. I kind of like. He's like, what. What the hell were you. But I couldn't help it. It was like. It was an involuntary. It was like Tourette's. And nothing against. You got Tourette's syndrome. But it was. It was very much like. It was very Touretti. It was like Kash Patel. Oh, sorry, sorry. You just couldn't believe it was Kash Patel. And I talked to him as I was being hauled away in handcuffs. I said, I really think you're great. I think you're a great Cash. And then they hurled me through the front window, and they broke the glass and then they put out some plywood and all of that. But so, yeah, it's kind of new to me. It's kind of. It's kind of cool. And so when I walked into seat back. I'm trying to be cool. I'm trying to be. Trying to be cool. I walked by the front desk and they got this big bowl of individually wrapped Lifesavers mints. And, you know, I'm from Iowa and I grew up poor, so I'm. You mind if I have one of these? And you know, I'm like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost when she's at the. At the bank and she asked, can I keep this pan? Okay, I like that. That's. So I grabbed some mints when they. When the receptionist guy was there and he looked the other way, I grabbed a handful of mints and put them in the suit pocket. What, What. What's that over there? Oh, my God. What a lovely building. Hey, do you. What kind of syrup do you like on the Torani coffee over there? Hey, hey, hey. Wasn't that bowl of mints a little bit more full just a second ago? I don't know what you're talking about. No problem. Whatever. Been eating those mints all morning. Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Yeah, there you go. Come on. So this is kind of cool. I haven't said a lot about Jesse Jackson passing. God bless him.
John Solomon
All right.
Rob Carson
I'm not. I'm not particularly happy with the state of the inner city black community and what he's been able to do and not be able to do. So I'll just leave it at that. But his son yesterday was. Was talking pre funeral, and I thought what he said was pretty darn cool. I really do. I really, really do. Because normally Democrats use funerals to, you know, the Wellstone funeral, the Coretta Scott King funeral, they become political rallies. And I want you to listen to Jesse Jackson Jr.
Carl Higby
These homegoing services are welcome to all
Rob Carson
Democrat, Republican, liberal and conservative. Right wing, left wing.
Carl Higby
Because his life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American.
Rob Carson
Yes, sir.
Carl Higby
We only ask people to come and be respectful in the context of the
Rob Carson
extraordinary life that he lived. Dad would have wanted us to have
Carl Higby
a great meeting to discuss our differences,
Rob Carson
to find ways of moving forward and moving together. And if his life becomes a turning
Carl Higby
point in our national political discourse.
Rob Carson
Amen. I love it. I thought that was something else. I wanted to play that today because, you know, the Democrat party is very passive aggressive. About 10 years ago, they started calling Donald Trump a Nazi and us white supremacists. And they've been pounding that home and pounding that home and calling us fascists and all of this stuff. And then they say that we're the ones dividing people. And it's very frustrating when you've got a political party that is so full of crap and hate that they do that passive aggressive bullcrap and then destroy the country, divide the country on race lines, sex lines, all of this bull crap. And then look at you guys. Divided us. No, you did. And wasn't it nice to see that man say that? I thought it was. I thought it was really, really cool. There you go. There you go. Wanted to say that as far as bringing the country together and as far as the midterms are concerned, I've said that we need to overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism. I'll handle the mockery, rule ridicule and satire, and let Donald Trump handle the kick butt, butt kicking. Here's Jason Miller. He is a Trump associate, and he's talking about what we need to do going in the midter.
Jason Miller
But the reason why President Trump has the credibility to go talk about these things is because he's done it all before. Think back to the Abraham Accords, creating the best economy we've ever had, the most secure border we've ever had. And this is where it ties into people's everyday lives. What people in Georgia want to hear about gas prices down at $1.79 a gallon. They want to hear about more jobs. They want to hear about the fact that their average families are going to be about $3,000 a year richer because of President Trump's tax cuts. These are the things that make a real difference in people's lives. And so the Democrats can pontificate all day long or put out corny press releases or try to attack the president, but they don't have anything. The one thing I would also add, and you really hit on this important point, is the fact that the president was out there doing these two major events today that shows he's serious about the midterms. It shows that his team is going to be working hard all the way up through November and even beyond. And he's going to get it done. If there's anyone who can bring the country back from where Joe Biden left us, it's President Trump.
Rob Carson
On days like this, we need to kind of hear that, because, you know, that Supreme Court defeat today, with the tariffs and all that, they Were prepared for. They got a plan B and a plan C and a plan D. They do. They do. They got it all. They got it all. Here's Doug Schoen. Doug Schoen, Democrat strategist, saying that what Trump needs to focus on is accentuating the positive.
Doug Schoen
I have to tell you, when I was in the White House with Bill Clinton, we told him, and he took the message to be optimistic. Trump, I think, with the Board of Peace, with the raising of $17 billion in the event in Georgia, is beginning to turn the narrative around. There is an affordability crisis with the American people. But with Trump's leadership, I think there is every reason to believe in the absence of my party having an agenda, which it doesn't.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Doug Schoen
I wish I could tell you you were wrong, Laura. You're not. In the absence of that agenda, I think President Trump has a real chance
Rob Carson
to turn this around now to show you they don't have an agenda. This is a Democrat running for office named Juliana Stratton. And her ad, it is bleeped, conveniently, is nothing more than F. Trump.
Mackenzie
Trump, vote Juliana. Trump, vote Juliana.
Rob Carson
Trump, vote Juliana.
Carl Higby
They said it's not me. I'm not scared of a wannabe dictator.
Interviewer/Reporter
I'm running for Senate to stand up to Donald Trump. I'll abolish ICE and hold Trump accountable
Carl Higby
for the crimes he's committed, just like they said.
Rob Carson
Trump, vote Juliana. Wow. There you go. Here's Doug Schoen's reaction to that.
Doug Schoen
That ad represents the worst of what my party stands for. The profanity is wrong. Abolishing ICE is wrong. And Jason's exactly right. We Democrats should be talking about positive ideas on the economy to continue to make the country right. Work with the president where appropriate, disagree where there is loyal opposition. But this approach is absolutely abhorrent, and I decry it.
Rob Carson
Tasteless, taxless, intellectually and morally bankrupt. That's your Democrat Party again. Keep positive. Realize we're at war here. They're firing the shots. All right, we are going to win this, but we've got to come together as a country. The Democrat party is splittered. 80, 20, 80% love the country. 80% are beginning to go, wow, voter ID. Why is that controversial? 20% are the people who are in charge who want to continue the gravy train, the corruption, the nonsense, enriching themselves, enriching their cronies, staying in power at whatever cost, including bringing any legals to vote in place of you. Yeah, it's happening, duh. But we have to stay on top of it. We've got to do everything we can to win these midterms. Overwhelm them. Overwhelm them like we did with Kamala Harris in November of 2024. We can do it, okay? We're in it together. We've come this far. We've come this far. We're not gonna turn back now. Now the fight really begins. Let's take a break and come back, shall we? This is the Rob Carson Show. Come on, Pete, stop moving.
Doug Schoen
Come on.
John Solomon
Got to get me there on the election integrity. There is a map. And President Trump earlier this week tweeted out something from one of the things I said that seems to affirm what I'm, what I'm saying. The president is about to declassify a large body of evidence, a body of evidence that's been mostly secret since 2019. And it will show a different sort of story than the perfect election that we were told on 60 Minutes or that we were told by Chris Wray. There was no foreign interventions in our elections. It's going to show multiple foreign powers taking very specific actions, breaching certain databases and taking hostile measures in our elections that members of Congress, states have been kept in the dark in. And I think that that's a project that Tulsi Gabbard is working on.
Rob Carson
This is what we waited for, guys. This is what we've been waiting for. We know that the elections have not been free and fair in this country for a number of years. We know that you didn't have a choice. Democrats other than Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton in 2016, we know that you did not have a choice other than Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris in 2020. If I were a Democrat, I'd be mad, to be quite honest. But, you know, you always just kind of go with the flow. Doesn't matter what happens with, with Republican or with Democrats. You're just like, okay, we'll go, whatever. I know we didn't have a choice or anything, but that's okay because, you know, we're Democrats. And the whole deal here is John Solomon talking about John Brennan and a massive grand conspiracy going after Donald years, whether that be Russia collusion, whether that be the raid on Mar A Lago. And now they're going after John Brennan. Oh, here we go. Hold on one second. I started again here. Got to turn it over.
John Solomon
We're long waiting for real justice. There are signs that the federal prosecutors in Miami who are running a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, looking at the last decade of weaponization, are definitely Zeroing in on the former CIA director, John Brennan. John Brennan's lawyers acknowledged he got some subpoenas and thinks he's a target of the investigation.
Rob Carson
Yeah, he should.
John Solomon
But in the last few days, just the news has confirmed.
Rob Carson
What?
John Solomon
That the prosecutors in Florida working for the Miami U.S. attorney's office have sent a secret request to the Senate. It's rare this happens. Very seldom asking for Congress to turn over evidence it has about an executive branch official. That official, John Brennan's come back. What they're looking for are the testimonies that John Brennan gave about Russia collusion and Russia assessments from 2016, 17 and 18. Now, why is that significant?
Rob Carson
Why?
John Solomon
There's two reasons to look for it. The first is John Brennan's been saying all along that I know Jim Jordan referred me for prosecution as my testimony doesn't seem to match my documents. But the Senate, the way I talk to the Senate will exonerate me. Well, obviously those prosecutors want to get every record of what he told the Senate to see if it has any exonerating effect.
Rob Carson
Here's the deal. We know that Russia collusion was created by Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton was part of it. It was meant to distract from Hillary Clinton's massive corruption Uranium One deal. She was Secretary of Terry of state and getting $200 million or so from Russia oligarchs into her faux charity, which was, by the way, created by Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton Global Initiative was created by Jeffrey Epstein. There you go. Yeah, so that's what it's all about. And, you know, we've been waiting a long damn time. And I'm hoping that something gets done here because I'm getting really sick and damn tired of waiting for something to happen. That said, I think we need some comedy. Do we need some comedy? How about we need some Jim Gossett as Bill Clinton talking about Prince Andrew, how he was in the Epstein files. Here's Jim. There's a prince. At least he used to be till he was dumped by the royal family. A friend of Epstein's, just like me was. And Andy is his name. He liked younger women under arrest in the uk they picked him up. Kind of has a history. Just the other day, he could get a lengthy prison stay and I could face one, too. But people say, Andy, you're a pervert and a convict. You could be. Could say the same about me and Hillary. Yeah, got a real marriage there. Andy, you are finished. That is clear to see. Care Starmer will be history. There you go, Jim, go. You're a weirdo. There you go. Go to patreon.com jim Gossip comedy if you want to support him. Here's Carl Higby talking about how the President knew about Epstein a long time ago. That's why he's been exonerated.
Carl Higby
This is the first time a member
Rob Carson
of the royal family has been arrested since 1647, before the Constitution. I mean, great job, dude. Like, really doing your Anne Boleyn. And then she got her head cut off. Proud. It's almost like someone called this.
Carl Higby
Eleven years ago, you raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks in
Unknown Expert/Analyst
the Q and A. I think he's got a problem.
Rob Carson
What do you think the problem will be?
Unknown Expert/Analyst
I don't know. But that island was really a cesspool. There's no question about it. Just ask Prince Andrew. He'll tell you about it.
Rob Carson
Trump was right again. He knew that a long time ago. There you go. Rob Finnerty made a terrific observation about how you got thousands of names, thousands of allegations, dozens of victims of abuse, and yet nobody punished here. But they're going after him in England.
Carl Higby
And why are they taking the Epstein files more seriously in England, in a foreign country? Prince Andrew, in case you have not heard, was just arrested. Prince Andrew today officially became the Hunter Biden of the royal family. But the most tragic part about today, and I know he was arrested for a glorified bookkeeping error, at least in this country, but look, they got Al Capone for tax evasion, so he could go to jail for this. But the most tragic part about what happened today is that Virginia Guthrey won't be able to testify in Prince Andrew's trial, and she won't be able to testify about what Prince Andrew allegedly made her do because she committed suicide. Because what Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew made her do was too much for her to bear.
Rob Carson
Unbelievable. Here she is being interviewed by Sir Savannah Guthrie.
Mackenzie
Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and said, you're gonna meet a prince today. I didn't know at that point that I was going to be trapped. Prince Andrew was like, let's dance together. And I was like, okay. And we leave Club Tramp, and I hop in the car with Ghislaine and Jeffrey, and Ghislaine said, he's coming back to the house, and I want you to do for him what you do for Epstein. I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that even royalty were involved.
Rob Carson
And here is the B word. Andrew denying this.
Interviewer/Reporter
In 2019, one of Epstein's accusers. Virginia Roberts has made allegations against you. She says she met you in 2001. She says she dined with you, danced with you at Tramp nightclub in London. She went on to have sex with you in a house in Belgravia belonging to Guerlain Maxwell, your friend. Your response?
Rob Carson
I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady. You're a scumbag. None whatsoever.
Interviewer/Reporter
You don't remember meeting her?
Rob Carson
No.
Interviewer/Reporter
She says she met you in 2001. She dined with you, she danced with you, you bought her drinks. You were in Tramp nightclub in London and she went on to have sex with you in a house in Belgravia belonging to Ghirlaine Maxwell.
Rob Carson
Didn't happen. Yeah. The Tramp nightclub, by the way, it sounded like Trump. It's Tramp nightclub is the name of is remarkable in this time in our lives that female flesh is so cheap in so many cases, honestly is so disgusting, so thoroughly, thoroughly disgusting. The positive is evil is being exposed, Satan is going to be driven back into the pits of hell and hopefully this guy's going to spend the rest of his bloody life in jail. I think that sounds like a good idea. How about you kids? Cory d' Angelo's research of the Heritage foundation to join us on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief factor. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief factor with you is all the real stories like Sandra's she tells us. I've been hearing about Relief factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words and it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself and knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer too. Call 804 RELIEF. That's 804 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain?
Carl Higby
Over 100 students were put on in school suspension after an ice walkout at Mustang High School. Mustang Public School said the walkout was not school approved or sponsored. They also said the 122 students were given their suspensions for leaving classes and missing school, not for the content of their speech. In A statement on Facebook praising Mustang Superintendent Governor Kevin Stitt said, free speech is sacred, but truancy robs your future.
Rob Carson
There you go. That's words to live by. Some school administrators are fighting back against all this nonsense. Teachers who have been brainwashed in liberal academia now wanting their kids to be mobilized for leftist causes. The latest, of course, being ice. More than 300 Woodbridge High School students in Virginia get suspended after an anti ICE walkout. The administrators say, you can protest all you want, but once you leave school grounds during the school day, you are in a whole lot of trouble. And I hope this spreads. Joining us on the Newsmax hotline is Cory DeAngelis research, and he works for the Heritage Foundation, School choice evangelist. He's on the Newsmax hotline again. Welcome, Corey. How you doing, friend?
Cory DeAngelis
Hey, Rob. Doing well. Thanks for having me.
Rob Carson
So this is the latest we are seeing exposed in our schools. We know so many things have been exposed in our schools, from wokeness to radical LGBTQIA nonsense. And now, of course, teachers encouraging their children to walk out and protest ice. There's no place in public education to this. I'm assuming this is one of the myriad reasons why so many parents are saying, we're done. We're going to teach our kids ourselves.
Cory DeAngelis
Exactly. That's why homeschooling has at least doubled since 2019, after parents saw the insanity through remote learning during the COVID era. And now you have the teachers unions putting their thumb on the scale. This is a form of viewpoint discrimination, if anything, where they support students walking out for their preferred political projects. But, you know, they surely would not support students walking out when it comes to pro Trump policies. And, you know, you look, just seven months ago, the National Education association had their annual convention in Portland, Oregon, of all places. They passed a resolution there to dedicate thousands of dollars in union resources to mobilize the students to protest against ICE and to oppose Trump's immigration policies so this didn't bubble up out of nowhere. And Randi Weingarten herself, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, is in hot water, going viral for this month, telling her members. And she bragged about how she went to the Target executives of the retail giant, saying that she pressured them to oppose ICE publicly as well. So what in the world does that have to do with education? Nothing at all. The teachers unions have exposed themselves as being nothing more than a far left arm of the Democrat party. And it's becoming so obvious. No wonder why 80% of kids in America are not proficient in math, despite us spending $20,000 a year. They're focused on politics as opposed to academics.
Rob Carson
Well, this is all a plan, isn't it? I mean, this has been going on forever. I've been in radio since about 1990, and I've watched this slow creep. I've watched this slow creep in higher education, starting with, you know, silly little things like not. Not using the word manhole, changing manhole cover because it has man in it, or changing the spelling of women to W o myn. Then it went on to, you know, protesting conservative speech on campus. Then it went on to saying that conservative speech is violent. Then it went on to Black Lives Matter on campus. And now this is the latest iteration, which is mobilizing kids to support leftist causes that are well funded.
Cory DeAngelis
That's right. And if you look at where the money goes, Rob, the American Federation of Teachers has this data out publicly. Randy Weingarten's Union has dedicated 99.97% of their campaign contributions last election cycle to Democrats. It's a money laundering operation. And if you look at their resolutions last year, I mean, they passed a resolution to declare President Trump a fascist. And in that same resolution, they misspelled the word fascism. I mean, you almost can't make this stuff up. But they've become so political that it's almost like the radical left has figured out that they don't even have to have their own kids anymore. And they can still shape the direction of this country because they infiltrated the school system and they're molding the minds of other people's children and using that access to the kids against their own parents. They're keeping secrets from parents. They're passing policies to try to keep parents in the dark and to try to fight against transparency every step of the way. And of course they fight against school choice because families are alarmed right now and they do want to vote with their feet somewhere else. The problem is in too many places that money can stuck in the government school system and they basically have your taxpayer dollars held hostage along with your kids education. But in red states right now, and thanks to President Trump's big beautiful bill, there's a nationwide federal school choice program in the form of a tax credit. And 27 states have already opted in to go along with Trump's school choice plan, including one Democrat, Jared Polis out of Colorado, did the right thing and said, you know what? I would be shooting myself in the foot if I didn't opt in, because this doesn't touch a single penny of local public school Funding, it's additional charitable contributions for school choice.
Rob Carson
Well, I like to say the left exposes its flank so we can kick its butt. And that's what we've seen. We didn't know all of this was there, all of this transgender nonsense, all of this, you know, radical lgbtqia, this dei, this division. I remember my son was in middle school. This was about 12 years ago, and they started using words like white privilege. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. My kid goes to a school that's 10% white. Where the hell is this guy? And then it only grew, and then it only grew, and then it only grew, and then it grew into other insane things, like the psyop of transgender nonsense. It's a social contagion. You have a piece that you alerted me to on the Wall Street Journal, of all places. Sanity will be on the ballot in Washington state. Tell me about this, man.
Cory DeAngelis
Yeah, this will be a great test case for sanity in a deep blue state. They actually had a group out there. Let's go washing. Collected hundreds of thousands of signatures, over 100,000 more than they needed to get on the ballot. And so now in November, we're going to see if this 8020 issue can go on the side of parents. It's two things. One is to prohibit boys from playing in girl sports, and that polls really, really well amongst Republicans, Democrats, and independents. And the other one is to allow for more transparency in the public school system for parents. So parental rights is on the ballot. Protecting girls sports is on the ballot. And if we can win in deep blue Washington, that's going to put the left on defense all across the country. And, you know, it should be an easy win. But the teachers union is the main opponent in these cases, which, again, has nothing to do with education, yet they're dedicating tons of money to oppose these ballot initiatives. Hopefully Washington residents can wake up and put the union on defense and beat them at the polls in November.
Rob Carson
Did you see the. Our education secretary, Linda McMahon, the other day reminding teachers they don't have to pay dues? That was good. Also of the elimination of the Department of Education, which has increased in size by like 40% the last few years. And every metric of quality of education is plunged into the toilet. So I think that. I think that Randy is running on borrowed time, and I'm hoping we're turning the corner not only with Donald Trump going after primary, but also colleges across the country with this woke nonsense. Corey, I appreciate you being on the show, man. You work at Heritage Foundation. Do you live in dc?

In order to protect. And it says so. In order to protect our country, a president can actually charge more tariffs than I was charging in the past, what period of a year, really? Under the various tariff authorities. So we can use other of the statutes, other of the tariff authorities which have also been confirmed and are fully allowed.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Unknown Expert/Analyst
Therefore, effective immediately.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Unknown Expert/Analyst
All national security tariffs under section 232 and existing section 301 tariffs. They're existing. They're there.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Unknown Expert/Analyst
Remain in place. Fully in place.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Unknown Expert/Analyst
And in full force and effect Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged. And we're also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.
Rob Carson
I love it. I love it. I love it. I knew something was going to happen. I knew that they had a plan and lo and behold, they had a plan. That's pretty cool, isn't it? That's pretty darn cool. I love it. I love it. I love it. So the revenue is going to keep coming and there's a possibility down the road and I had heard this and seen in several places there's a possibly down the road that, that these tariffs and all the fraud cutting and everything that they're doing right now, there's a possibility people under 500 grand a year income could go income tax free. Wouldn't that be something? Wouldn't that be something? Because we have been, we have been inflating a giant corrupt cabal, a giant organized crime family, the Democrat party and many Republicans more corrupt than the Soviet Union ever dreamed of as corrupt or more than the Soviet Union, but with a 7 trillion dollar annual budget and it is just glorious. I love it, man. I love it. I love it. I love it. Yay. This is what happens when you steal an election and then try to put a guy in jail and then try to kill him. He comes back with a plan. There you go. There you go. Gold is obviously making a comeback. It, it peaked out about 5,600. Went up $500 one day a couple weeks ago, then dropped as people were selling. Wanted to take in the profits. Right now we're at about $5073. So almost 50, $100. It's coming back slow and easy. Slow and easy. Slow and easy. Giving you a little time to get in. Giving you a little time to buy right now because it's going to go back. And you know when it went up really high and then it dropped. Now it's going to come back with a vengeance. I'm not, I'm just guessing here. I'm just guessing. JP Morgan says there's a case against gold rallying. Anz sees gold hitting $5,800 an ounce. There you go. There you go. Gold is already doing a rally. J.P. morgan, I don't know what you're thinking about. It's already doing a rally. So there you go. Right now is an opportunity for you to buy gold. And here's the deal. You're not. You're not buying gold to just cash it in a month or two or a year or two. This was in for the long term. Gold has been valuable for as long since the day somebody discovered it. Right. What did they look at? The gilded tomb of King Tut. It's like nobody cared about anything else. But that mask, that mask made out of gold. Yeah. Yeah. You ever watch those documentaries about undersea treasure? What are you looking for? You're looking for gold, baby. Yeah, that's the way it is. Why don't you have any in your IRA or 401k? Well, you need to diversify. Text my name, Rob to 989-898 for Birch Gold. My name to Rob to 989-898. Get a free info kit from Birchgold and get the ball rolling and get on the gold bandwagon. I just did, by the way. I just got on the gold bandwagon and I am thrilled that I did so excuse me. Text my name, Rob to 989-898 for Birch Gold. I think it's such good news, excuse me. That Donald Trump has done that and had the tariffs locked and loaded. That is just good news. That just makes me really super duper happy. Really super duper happy. This is kind of. You know, there was a couple hundred million gallons of sewage dumped into the Potomac River. There's this confluence of pipelines here from Northern Virginia and D.C. and Maryland that come together in a six foot pipe and it hadn't been fixed up in a very long time and it finally broke and they got this guy in charge of. Of the. The sewage system. The D.C. water management named David Gattis. David Gaddis is the CEO there. Has championed equity and diversity throughout his tenure. He was named in a lawsuit against the former employee for allegedly withholding information about water contamination in Flint, Michigan. They hired the guy from Flint frickin Michigan. All right. Before joining DC Water in 2018, he served as executive vice president of Viola North American and CEO of Eola Water in Indianapolis. The utility's first black CEO. Like that matters. And the first black executive leader in Indianapolis utility and according to his bio touts his partnership with municipal leaders and his leadership on diversity initiatives. That reputation faced scrutiny in 2018. An amended class action lawsuit cited the Viola statement in which Gattis promised the company would deploy its technical expertise to ensure water quality to the people of Flint, Michigan. Apparently the people of Flint, Michigan's discolored drinking water resulted from an old unlined gas or cast iron pipe when it actually contained dangerous levels of lead. And apparently this guy covered that up. Here is this guy talking about a couple years ago when he could have been, I don't know, replacing that pipe over here, talking about diversity, equity, inclusion. You know, when I ride the DC Water, this was an organization that looked very similar to our, to our, our industry. It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top. But this was a utility that's, you know, more than 70% people of color work at this utility. And I really believe, who cares? And I still believe. And it has been fantastic. The outcomes have been fantastic. Oh, really? That's so much lately. But the people at the top, the executives, the chief, you know, the people at the top, the floaters is what they call them in that C suite. They should look like the employees that they, that they serve and that they work the same thing with the community. And so. Okay, hold on. That's the case then. If it's an all white area, should you not hire any people of color? Right? I mean, if you're in, I don't know, where's a really super white area in parts of Minnesota? So everybody should be white. Is that the deal? What it is? Is that the way it is? Honestly? Honestly, if you're gonna play this game, then aren't there all white areas? You should just hire only white people? Honestly, who cares? Clean up your ass. There you go. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

This lively episode of The Rob Carson Show explores pressing issues in politics, education, and culture with Rob’s trademark blend of humor and conservative insights. Rob recaps his encounters at CPAC, discusses election integrity and the ongoing fallout from Trump-era tariffs, and unpacks breaking headlines like Prince Andrew’s arrest in the Epstein scandal. The episode is heavy on election commentary, sharp satire, and pointed interviews — notably with Cory DeAngelis on school choice and John Solomon on intelligence community investigations. In classic Rob fashion, the tone is energetic, irreverent, and deeply skeptical of Democratic leadership.
For listeners seeking a fast-paced, punchy conservative take on the latest political and cultural controversies, this episode offers a broad survey — from school choice wars to international scandals — always with a comedic edge and plenty of memorable zingers. The show’s structure laces Rob’s opinionated narrative with sharp interviews and timely satire, intended both to entertain and to energize the base heading into a heated election year.
