• Grace Pasteur (White House Counsel) asserts the Supreme Court has never truly resolved this, countering that original intent supported citizenship for freed slaves, not immigrants without allegiance.

Major takeaways include the successful US dismantling of the Iranian military, skepticism toward media coverage, debates over citizenship and immigration, and ridicule of political scandals and bureaucratic inefficiency. With parody songs and bombastic rants, the show is as much political theater as news analysis.

Transcript

[Rob Carson]

Quick break. This surprised me. The most useful advice I get now doesn't come from experts. It comes from regular people on TikTok. What works, what doesn't. No filters. Download TikTok and see for yourself.

Hold it.

Now

you are about to hear the

most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the worldwide web.

This is the Rob Carson Show.

This is the Rob Carson Show. It's April 1st, and no, I will not be doing any April Fool's jokes because, you know, I'm not a wacky music jock anymore. I don't do that stuff anymore. So we're gonna get to all of the stuff that's in the. The news today, including birthright citizens. You got a debate on that going on and gonna talk to Doug Burns about that. We've got all sorts of. All sorts of news about what's happening in Iran. It looks like the finish line is right there. Right there. Getting ready to run over the finish line. We completely annihilated one of the most powerful militaries in the world. We lost fewer people than we. Than we usually lose during training exercises during the year. Wipe them completely. Wipe the floor with them, for God's sake. We've got news on Donald Trump. Getting rid of mail in voting for people who, you know, try to actually successfully steal elections. We got that coming up. But I think we'll start off with yesterday, which was Trans day of visibility.

[Pete Hegseth]

Happy Trans Day of visibility.

[Rob Carson]

To the idea that yesterday was a trans day of visibility because Joe Biden made Easter 2024 into that.

[Pete Hegseth]

Happy Trans day of visibility to the trans community in Seattle and across the country. For too many trans people, we still see discrimination and policies that threaten their safety and dignity.

[Rob Carson]

No, not really.

[Pete Hegseth]

And across the country, we are seeing growing attacks and transgenders.

[Rob Carson]

It's not even happening under people's rights. You'd be reading about it and then. Well, you don't read newspapers anymore.

[Pete Hegseth]

It's their safety and dignity. And I will always, always stand with you.

[Rob Carson]

Here's a. Here's a trans woman who was born with man parts yesterday saying that. I mean, this must be an Easter miracle or something, saying that he, she, they, them actually have their menstrual cycle.

[Trans Woman Guest]

Fun fact. Trans women also get periods.

[Colin McDonald]

Really?

[Trans Woman Guest]

Yes.

[Rob Carson]

You get a period?

[Trans Woman Guest]

Yes, I get monthly. I get monthly cycles.

[Medical Expert]

Do you get monthly cycles?

[Rob Carson]

Yep. So the.

[Medical Expert]

The lining of your uterine wall is falling apart.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Pete Hegseth]

Draining.

[Medical Expert]

That's your uterine wall.

[Trans Woman Guest]

See, that's. This is the fun part.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I've been doing this wrong due

[Trans Woman Guest]

to not having a uterus. The weird part is I still get the cramps, but I just don't get the. I just don't get.

[Medical Expert]

Are you sure it's just not from Lupron messing with your body?

[Trans Woman Guest]

Oh, what?

[Rob Carson]

I said, are you a Groupon sure

[Medical Expert]

it's just not the Lupron messing with your body?

[Trans Woman Guest]

No, it's an actual.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You don't think so?

[Trans Woman Guest]

Yeah, I got, I got the full on. Like emotional cycles and everything.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I have no doubt you have the emotional cycle.

[Medical Expert]

And you have a period though.

[Trans Woman Guest]

I do, yes.

[Medical Expert]

But you don't have any blood leaving you. There's no thinning of the uterine lining, which is what a period is. And some of the results of a period are cramping.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Medical Expert]

So you have similar symptoms to the period, but you don't have a period at all. You have no period because you're a man.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. That's America in 2026, by the way. I wanted you to know. And then, and then, of all things, that I would be remiss if I didn't bring this up as a, as a satirist by nature. Christine Holmes husband.

[Kristi Noem]

Wow.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, what the, what the what? I missed Gutfeld last night. I'm sure that's what he opened with. What would you do, ladies, if you discovered that your husband was online engaging in a niche fetish known as Bimbo vacation, in which adherents pump up their breasts to extreme proportions in pursuit of a Barbie doll like appearance? I mean, if your husband did that, could you even, can you even imagine maybe why she was messing around with Corey Lewandowski? I have a feeling. Why? Because her husband liked to dress up like a Barbie doll. And I don't understand this. He sent tens of thousands of dollars to various women he chatted with and sent selfies wearing pink hot pants and flesh toned crop tops stuffed with balloons inflated to resemble cartoonist sized breasts, even featuring the outlines of protruding nipples. His face was clearly seen in several of these salacious images. Donald Trump, when he was asked about it, said, is that confirmed? Well, I feel badly for the family if that is the case. So there you go. I guess it was probably a good idea that she's no longer the DHS secretary, cause her family sounds kinda, kinda messed up a little bit there. Jim Cassatt put this together for us, by the way.

Kristi Noem's husband likes to dress up like a girl.

I would be an ugly woman. Big hands, big feet.

When she's at work, he will give Cross dressing a whirl.

Do some women like this? I have no idea.

Silk hose and panties. Brian Gnome wears them with pride.

Maybe I need to change my match.com profile. I don't know.

It is a secret. For years that they've tried to hide.

Yeah, I don't think you're gonna move past this in your marriage.

He'll dress up like a woman. He's tired of being a man.

Wife's like, where's my bra? Kids are like, where are my balloon?

Brian's love of women's clothes is something we don't understand. Her hubby's cross dressing is starting to get out of hand. Yeah, dressed like a woman, but Brian is still a man.

That is just. Boy, that might be. We're early in the year. This could be one of the strangest stories of the entire year. My gosh.

[Pete Hegseth]

Whoa.

[Rob Carson]

What do you do as a wife? You know a lot of women that put up a lot of stuff. I never did anything like that when I was married. I just was drunk and depressed a good deal at the time and got better. Never dressed up like a woman with balloons in my brassier or whatever. Hey, by the way, just some, some news. We're gonna get into the Iran war and all this. It's in the war, military conflict, butt kicking. I'm gonna call it a butt kicking because Donald Trump said it's already basically over. The the NASA's Artemis 2 moon mission is starting today. Is pretty exciting actually. So they're going to make history taking astronauts around the moon for the first time in 50 years. The four person crew is going to launch today for a 10 day journey. By the way, that's pretty cool. Trips going to pave the way for future Artemis missions that could eventually see astronauts set foot on the moon and building a permanent lunar base. And also to see the side of the moon that Pink Floyd talked about. Artemis 2 will take four astronauts on the 685,000 mile journey. By the way, it's 285,000 miles to the moon. In case you didn't know, I'm a science geek. So there you go. Today is the day. The window between 6:24pm and 8:24pm Tonight can be on, I think ABC News of other places. Day one will launch through day four being outbound transit toward the moon. Day five will be a lunar flyby. The spacecraft will fly within approximately 4,700 miles of the dark side of the moon. There are four people on the craft. Victor Glover, Christina Hammock, Koch Reid Wiseman, of NASA and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency. Koch will be the first woman and Glover will be the first person of color to travel to the moon. That's important, I guess. Glover is the pilot with responsibility for operating the spacecraft. Coke and Hanson, our mission missions, battle specialists. And the other person is actually a realtor sent there by Donald Trump to, to see what we can get for it, I think is what, what we're doing there. So there you go. That's a, that's happening today, which is kind of historic. I want to mention that it's kind of historic because we haven't been to the moon since we played golf on the moon. We've actually played golf on the moon, but no other country in the world has been to the moon yet, but we did it several times and even played golf on the moon. Here is the President yesterday on something he has already gotten from the defeated

[Pete Hegseth]

Iranian military to make you want to pursue a ceasefire. A few days ago, you know, you said you wanted to continue bombing Iran. Now you want to pursue peace talks.

[Kristi Noem]

There something the fact that they're talking to us and they're talking sense and

[Rob Carson]

remember it also only one guy there who can even talk to him, he owns a falafel stand. He was never in the government before.

[Kristi Noem]

They cannot kill everybody else, have a nuclear weapon. Just, you know, I said yesterday, what are. They said, what are the top 10? I said, well, number one, two and three is they can't have a nuclear weapon.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's true.

[Kristi Noem]

And they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. And we're talking about that.

[Rob Carson]

Really.

[Kristi Noem]

I don't want to say in advance, but they've agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that.

[Rob Carson]

Whoa, whoa, that's amazing. And then the stock market is up, by the way, in case you didn't know, because a lot of people are beginning to believe what Donald Trump said, that this is going to end in four to six weeks. And you know why he said that? Because he asked his generals and, you know, the military in general said, hey, man, if we decide to do this, how long do you suppose it'll take? And he said, Mr. President, I mean, this is going to take four to six weeks if you let us do what we do. And he did. And here's the President basically saying that we're going to be there in time.

[Kristi Noem]

I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three, we're hitting them very hard. Last night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities we, as you probably read or wrote, we knocked out.

[Pete Hegseth]

Excuse me, pardon me, will be.

[Rob Carson]

The US Will be gone or done

[Kristi Noem]

with the war, I think with two or three weeks.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You know, we've never seen a mission that has been so successful from the get go, attacked by the Democrat Party and the leftist media, even lying about the mission, by the way, publications like the New York Times have lied about the mission, have lied about the success, because they recognize that this is really, really historic. And for the first time in 47 years, the world is not going to have to worry about Iran and its proxies committing acts of terror all over the place. And that's why it's so stinking historic. Here's the President of the United States talking about that, about how they're kicking butt. But the American media, like the New York Times, are willing to say that's not happening.

[Kristi Noem]

It's like, oh, they're putting up a good fight. They're not putting up a fight. They're not even shooting at us. Okay. They are roaming the skies over Tehran. They're not even being shot at.

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Kristi Noem]

Because their equipment's been totally decimated. They have nothing to shoot. We have. They have no navy. They have no anything. And just think about this.

[Rob Carson]

They're literally just standing there with their fingers in the air going, pew, pew, pew. That's. That's their air defense system right now.

[Kristi Noem]

They have no navy. They have no military. They have no nothing.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, they're losing.

[Kristi Noem]

They admit they're losing. They're begging to make a deal.

[Rob Carson]

They got an ayatollah made out of cardboard.

[Kristi Noem]

And if you read the fake New York Times, the corrupt newspaper where I'm suing them and I think I should do very well. But you would almost think, who's winning?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. The New York Times also, years and years and years ago, did a glowing report on Joseph Stalin when he was in charge of the Soviet Union, talking about how well fed the citizens were fed and whatnot. They've done all sorts of glowing things. The Time magazine made Hitler the man of the year one year. So you know where they are, essentially. All right, we've got lots more on this coming up. Pete Hegseth on the other side with an update. Been talking to some of the troops in the field. Marco Rubio talking about this. And we opened our embassy in Venezuela literally a couple months after we took Al Maduro. That's all coming up. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Greg Jarrett]

I've written columns on this the President does have a viable and credible argument that the 14th Amendment was never meant to include people who are here unlawfully.

[Rob Carson]

The mere Greg Jarrett talking about the birthright citizen case in front of the Supreme Court today.

[Greg Jarrett]

Setting foot on American soil does not confer birthright citizenship to their children, if you know why.

[Rob Carson]

Because the person who comes here illegally doesn't have allegiance to the United States of America.

[Greg Jarrett]

You see, you go back and look at the debate in in 1866 over the Fourth Amendment. The sponsors wrote in a very important clause that says subject to the jurisdiction thereof. What does that mean? It's a condition of allegiance or fealty. That's especially important for the millions of illegal migrants who are here in the United States living in the shadows, not paying taxes, not obtaining Social Security numbers, not even filing for taxes. They live in the shadows and their allegiance to the United States is unknown, largely because their whereabouts are unknown.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, but they can still vote, according to Democrats. By the way, I got some audio from Stephen Miller that'll shock in a little while. Justice Thomas was talking to Solicitor General Sauer today. The citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment written to overrule Dred Scott and secure citizenship for freed slaves who had domicile here and owed no allegiance to a foreign power. This gets a little kind of heady. Okay, so if you're Ketanji Brown Jackson, you'll kind of lean your head either way, like a beagle treat. You know, she would understand, Squirrel. You know, she'd Understand that, but anything else gone, just completely gone. But anyway, subject to the jurisdiction thereof means full allegiance, not mere presence or subject subjection to our laws. The text uses reside, which at the time meant domicile. The framers weren't handing automatic citizenship to everyone born on US Soil, regardless of allegiance. Meaning that you're here, you don't have. If you come here illegally, you do not have allegiance to the United States of America. And with Dred Scott freed slaves had no allegiance to a foreign power. Hence they could stay. Consequently, the children of illegals should not be able to be American citizens. It'll all make sense eventually. Argument that, that the right people are making, you know, the people who aren't Ketanji Brown Jackson. So we'll talk a little while to Doug Burns about that because Doug Burns knows what the heck he's talking about. Here is Pete Hegseth. He's our. He's our Secretary of War, baby. Yeah, Secretary of War. Talking about what's going on with the Iranian military.

[Pete Hegseth]

They will go underground, but we will find them. We recently destroyed another one of their command bunkers. Leaders forced to flee. No water, no power, no oxygen, no command and control. Their faith in their caves diminishing our strikes are damaging the morale of the Iranian military, leading to widespread desertions, key personnel shortages, and causing frustrations amongst senior leaders.

[Rob Carson]

You know where you're not seeing that? Where you're seeing absolute confidence, resolve and patriotism in our military. And the Democrat Party is not giving them any credit whatsoever. In fact, they're even saying things like on day one, Chris Murphy said that it was a disaster. Since then, they've said that we are losing. That's absurd on the face of it. That's absurd on the face of it, obviously. And then now saying that we're in a quagmire four weeks in to a military campaign that Donald Trump would say, said would take four to six weeks. Hegseth without meeting with a lot of the airmen who, by the way, have either set of jobs to tell you they're. They're men and women.

[Pete Hegseth]

The three Air Force captains shot down by Kuwaiti friendly fire early in the fight weeks ago. They never left the theater. All dropped bombs over Tehran last night. I witnessed lethality. I met a junior airman as the sun was going down and a chill was setting on the tarmac, who, when asked what they needed, she simply looked up at me with a sly smile on her face and said, more bombs and bigger bombs. We will happily oblige her.

[Rob Carson]

Anything? Yeah, you Know what? We could use some more bombs. Maybe some even bigger ones. That'd be kind of cool. I want to meet that girl, man. Or the young woman. I should say the young woman. I think that's fantastic. Here is the Secretary of War talking about the number one goal of our troops who are doing an unbelievable job. The greatest military campaign, one of the greatest in world history, taking down a massive, massive military machine, destroying their missile capability, their missile manufacturing capability, sinking their navy. This in four weeks.

[Pete Hegseth]

I asked each young American, what do you need? And nobody said, better equipment. Nobody said, more comfortable living conditions. Nobody said, send me home. Well, of course, eventually, we want all those things they do, too. But what those Americans said to me, young and old, officer and nco, male and female, black and white, was, let's finish the mission, get us even more bombs. Bigger bombs, more targets.

[Rob Carson]

That's the opposite of what the Democrat Party is saying. The Democrat Party saying, don't finish the mission. We're getting killed. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We're in a quagmire. So stupid. Here is Pete Hegseth and Bradley Cooper, who is in charge of the whole operation centcom, about what we're doing now.

[Pete Hegseth]

Just last night, we had 200 dynamic strikes alone. A dynamic target is one that changes while you're in the air because of improved intelligence. 200 dynamic strikes alone. In addition to the preplanned targets. Tehran is wise. They will cut a deal. President Trump doesn't bluff, and he does not back down. You can ask Khamenei about that.

[Rob Carson]

Together, we continue to deliver precision strikes against key manufacturing nodes, component storage sites, research facilities deep within Iranian terror. We're wasting them. We are absolutely wasting them. Now here's the headline of the day. Donald Trump saying, I think we're done with NATO because NATO left us hanging this time and they are going to regret the day. Here's Pete Hegseth talking about that.

[Pete Hegseth]

There's been lots of media coverage that suggested a ground invasion is imminent. What other purposes might the soldiers and the Marines who have been deployed over to the Middle east serve in this conflict?

Military 101. Don't tell your enemy what you're willing to do or not.

[Rob Carson]

Do not go.

[Pete Hegseth]

And don't tell your enemy when you're willing to stop. Especially an enemy that likes to hide in bunkers and try to hoard their missiles and hope you'll wait you out. A lot has been shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America when we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of the free world. These are missiles that don't even range the United States of America. They range allies and others. And yet when we ask for additional assistance or simple access, basing overflight, we get questions or roadblocks or hesitations. And the President is pointing out now you don't have much of an alliance if you have countries that are not willing to stand with you when you need them.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, this is interesting. For a very long time, the European nations and whatnot have depended on us to save their asses, like in World War I and World War II. And now we are discovering that when we asked for a little help, they all said no. And Donald Trump's about to say, you know what? I think we're done with NATO. Marco Rubio says that as well. We're gonna talk to the one and only Brigitte Gabriel from Act for America, one of my favorite guests on the other side of the break. Do not go anywhere. 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 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 ghostbed. 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 gonna love your new Ghostbe. I like the Foo Fighters. They're my favorite band. Other than Led Zeppelin. I mean, I believe that was the only song that the Foo Fighters have ever done where they had background vocalists other than band members. I. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. But it's a really good song. Anyway, welcome to the the show. Please come inside. I am informed that Brigitte Gabriel is next hour. I'm sorry to have teased you in such a fashion because when people want Brigitte, they want her now. So we're gonna talk to her next hour. Doug Burns is tomorrow. So there you go. We got Doug Burns tomorrow to talk about all the birthright citizenship and all that. Here is Donald Trump, the president, talking about birthright citizenship.

[Kristi Noem]

This is not about Chinese billionaires or billionaires from other countries who all of a sudden have 75 children or 59 children in one case, or 10 children becoming American citizens. This was about slaves. And if you take a look. Slaves. We're talking about slaves from the Civil War. And if you take a look at when it was filed, all of this legislation, all of this, everything having to do with birthright citizenship. It was at the end of the Civil War.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely, 100% it is. It makes no sense to be able to come to America, drop a baby when you're ready to, you know, go into labor, and then claim citizenship for the baby, and then, of course, make that baby an anchor baby so you and your family can come here without allegiance to the United States of America. It doesn't work that way, because if you don't have allegiance to the country, you're just coming here to have a baby, to. To get that baby citizenship. Sorry, it don't work that way. It just doesn't work that way. Here is John Eastman talking with. With. I'm sure he was over on. I saw him on Getter talking about birthrights with.

[John Eastman]

The 14th amendment says you got to be born here. That's requirement one, but you got to be subject to the jurisdiction here as well, and reside in a state that means temporary visitors. And certainly those who are here illegally are not covered by the automatic citizenship of the citizenship clause. And that was the way we understood it for about a century. And kind of gradually, beginning in the 1950s or 60s, we moved away from that position. But President Trump's executive order restores the original meaning of the citizenship clause. If you're here illegally, then you're not subject to the complete jurisdiction. You're not part of our political community. If you're here just temporarily, you're here by our grace. You have not joined our political community. You're a visitor. And that's what the original meaning meant, and that's what the original court decisions were. That's what the original leading treatise writers of the 1870s said. That's what the Secretaries of state said in the 1880s. So it's only more recently that we've adopted this more radical view that any.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, and they bastardize it like they have everything Everything else the left has bastardized it cheapened citizenship for you and I being born here or people who have come here lawfully gone through the process and pledged allegiance to the United States of America as founded, as founded, not as you want it to be, not as you wish it were, you know, as you wish. Sharia law, for instance, or communism. Now that crap don't fly. Because you see, we have a Constitution in the United States of America that has given us the greatest engine of individual and economic freedom in the history of mankind. And if you don't like it, then go live in a hell hole where they've failed throughout history. Go live somewhere else. We aren't changing, not going to happen. There are a whole lot of people who willing to fight on that one. This is Grace Pasteur, she is a counsel for the White House. I think she's brilliant, actually. Talking about the White House counsel about birthright citizenship.

[Grace Pasteur]

The left would have you believe that this issue has already been settled, that the President's arguments are radical, but that's just not true.

[Rob Carson]

No, your arguments are the Supreme Court

[Grace Pasteur]

has never resolved this issue in our nation's entire history. And President Trump is absolutely right. The citizenship clause was passed in order to give citizenship to the children of freed slaves, not illegal immigrants.

[Rob Carson]

I'm thinking they deserve the citizenship.

[Grace Pasteur]

So the arguments of critics are just wrong. The Constitution grants citizenship to those one, born in the US and two, subject to the jurisdiction thereof. And what does that mean? Well, tomorrow we're going to be arguing in front of the Supreme Court that history shows that it means that an individual owes their primary allegiance to the United States and not a foreign power. I think the president.

[Rob Carson]

So when you come here and you wave your Venezuelan flag and you chant death to America or whatever the hell, wherever you're from, that's not allegiance to our country. And by the way, you should be deported as well.

[Grace Pasteur]

Made it clear what he believes his constitutional role is in interpreting the Constitution. And also the he's in my mind would appear because he genuinely believes that the Supreme Court needs to look at the original historical baseline meaning of the citizenship clause. This, there's a lot of media around this issue. There's a lot of tradition and there's a lot of thought that this issue has already been resolved, as you mentioned, for the last 150 years.

[Rob Carson]

But it has not, it is absolutely not been resolved. So hopefully it will be because again, citizenship means something. I had alluded to Stephen Miller talking about the Democrat Party and what they've done to the American People and realize when they. When they give so much money to illegals over you and me. You know, when Joe Biden was the president, you and I suffered a great deal. We saw the price of cars double. We saw the price of homes double. We saw groceries go through the ceiling. We saw gas that was more expensive than it is right now. And, yeah, it's expensive, but you see, we're kind of in the middle of beating back a monstrous regime that has spread terror around the world for 47 years. And we're beating into the pits of hell, so we don't have to worry about them anymore. And already yesterday, there are all sorts of tankers moving through the Straits of Horror. Moose. The stock market breathing a sigh of relief. Gas prices will be heading back down again. And then, of course, a lot of freedom for the people of Persia. Of Persia. But here is Stephen Miller talking about what the Democrats have done with your money to pay off those who come here illegally.

[Stephen Miller]

We found since President Trump came into office is that the Democrats have set up a system to funnel hundreds of billions and ultimately trillions of dollars, trillions, to migrants that are in our country, oftentimes from places like Somalia.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Stephen Miller]

So as an example, no doubt ICE recently asked a group of illegal immigrants that were in detention whether or not they were receiving Medicaid. Half of them raised their hands and volunteered that they were on Medicaid. Just volunteered that these are the ones who are hiding it. Right. They also asked illegal aliens how they paid their medical bills. And they said that if they don't have Medicaid, they go to hospitals, they get free care there, and they bill it to the taxpayer.

[Rob Carson]

You bet.

[Stephen Miller]

So they aren't paying for any of their own health care in this country.

[Rob Carson]

One example, or daycare or lodging or food.

[Stephen Miller]

And we've seen this over and over and over again. So under President.

[Rob Carson]

You ever heard the apply for government assistance? Have you ever done that? I had to get SNAP benefits about six, seven years ago. And you know what? I could. I had to present id. I had to go through basically a rectal exam, you know, and then, of course, unemployment. What a joke that is. Because I work in radio. I've been on employment a few times. You can't cheat on that. You can't cheat on that and you get a pittance. I didn't get when I was out of work. I didn't get free hotel room. I didn't get free childcare. I didn't get free health care. I didn't get. Listen, I had to go on what was it? Cobra. You know what? Cobra. You know why they named Cobra? Because it's a deadly serpent. Cobra is terrible. It is the worst thing in the world to have it go on Cobra, for God's sake. But I never got anything handed to me. But the Democrat party, they know that people who come from third world locations have no allegiance only to the ones who give them the stuff.

[Stephen Miller]

Leadership. And then of course, with JD and the head of the ftc, Andrew Ferguson, we're going to see the first ever effort in American history to reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars that were stolen from taxpayers.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, we will see. I want to see people also go to jail. I think that would be good, wouldn't you? Also yesterday, Donald Trump signed an executive order to basically make secure mail in voting because that's been bastardized too, just like birthright citizenship. The details on the other side of the break. Let's take that break now. This is the Rob Carson Show.

Hey guys, it's Carson for quints. Winter is over. I'm putting away the layers.

[Colin McDonald]

to the American people, my promise to you is this, that I will work tirelessly day after day to ensure that if someone out there dares to steal your taxpayer dollars, that there might just be a federal prosecutor on the end of that bad decision, that no longer will we be uninterested in low levels of fraud. Fraud, we will be interested in all of it. And if someone out there right now is is deciding and determining whether they will file A false application to try to steal your taxpayer dollars. We're going to care about it.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, that is Colin McDonald being sworn in is kind of the, what was he the Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud? National Fraud Enforcement. Okay, that's great. But you've got a couple trillion dollars to to kind of consider and certainly at least 18 billion in Minnesota. And now we're saying prob to $500 billion in the state of California. And there's going to be a point where we have to start seeing people put in jail for this because you and I, we have to work for every damn thing we have. And I am so outraged by all of this. Opening up a Somali daycare and in being so brazen to come into the United States of America, open up a daycare with no goal at all of having children enrolled or opening an autism charity and enrolling people paying people say their children have autism. So you can rake in millions and millions of dollars. Every one of those people, I don't care what your nationality is. All of the people who open the hospices in LA where like 30% of the hospices in America in LA county, that's where they are. And they're run by the Armenian mafia. Every one of those people need to be stripped of their citizenship. If they are not citizenship, then they should just be deported to never be able to return to the United States of America. To those who, citizens who did this, who came here from another country, they should be stripped of their citizenship and sent to their country of origin. This of course includes Ilhan Omar. Here is Steve Hilton. He is running for governor of the state of California. This will give you an idea of the scope of fraud. Now we have a budget annually, $6.5 trillion. Okay? California has at least a half a trillion dollars in fraud money stolen from you and me.

[Steve Hilton]

To be prudent careful with public money, they don't take it seriously at all. They don't care about your money. They just steal it and waste it. And now we can tell you exactly how much. Here is the number. This is the total 420. $25 billion. That's billion with a B. When you see these reports as we've

[Rob Carson]

been putting out, $425 billion in the state of California alone. Maybe that's why Gavin Newsom is being really weird. Did you see him yesterday? Gavin Newsom? I mean, you ever seen those like, you know, sci fi movies or whatever when the robot's brain gets overtaken, you know, like it happens when in Star Trek, you know, the robot is presented with reason or something and the robot starts to melt down or, or, you know, the fembots in, in Austin Powers, I think he's, he's more similar to fembots and Austin Powers because he's empty headed. But listen to him melt down yesterday. It makes you kind of wonder if maybe it's all catching up to him.

I'm also weird, Sean, you know, forgive me, this is embarrassing.

[Steve Hilton]

He can turn all that off.

[Rob Carson]

He's looking at the camera. You can turn all that out. He's really saying, no, actually, leave it on because I'm looking for sympathy. I'm going to say that I'm dyslexic and I'm going to say that I have adhd. And that will usurp the fact that I'm just a white male who's kind of, you know, pretty wealthy right now and never has had really to do much in his life. His idea of suffering was eating Kraft Macaroni and Cheese cheese as a child. Wow, that's rough. But listen,

just because all the noise, you know, that we just need to turn off. And this is, this is this, Listen to this.

This is just performative nonsense.

This is it, man. This is it. You want to fix all this stuff? This is it. Listen to these guys, you know, well, just sitting there, you know, yelling and screaming at each other. Everybody's getting in each other's throats.

What are you talking about?

Trying to tear everybody down. And you know, how are we going to get out of this?

Well, you stole $500 billion in the last five years, jerk.

This is it. You heard these guys, programs like this, community leaders like this. And I just, it's like, why are we so stupid? Why can't we just get this? It's so obvious.

What? Did he say anything there? And then afterwards he puked up some gobbledygook. This is, this is from somebody who obviously has spent a good deal of his life in therapy. All right? And I just want you to hear, because listen, if you've ever been in therapy, and I have, and I always thought it was a joke actually, sorry if you're a therapist. But anyway, especially marriage counseling, I'll just say that's really a joke. Oh my God. But listen to this.

[Steve Hilton]

We want to say, well, I tried this, it didn't work. And in that failure I became much stronger and now I'm much wiser. And that's why I have a 10 point plan for America's renewal. I didn't want to go there. I wanted to go deeper and I wanted to really challenge the assumptions that I was making about myself and those experiences and go a step further to challenge them again.

[Rob Carson]

That is pure psychobabble. I mean, 100% unadulterated gobbledygook and psychobabble. Man, that is just unbelievable. Here's a little bit more. Him just talking about himself clearly against somebody who's been doing a lot of therapy.

[Steve Hilton]

I talk about that in the book. How I was trying to challenge perceptions

[Rob Carson]

about me and how I was trying to challenge perceptions about me. Have you ever done that? Do any of you have time to do that? You, you're sitting in a, you're got your butt in a tractor seat all day and you ever challenge perceptions about yourself or did you just kind of realize who cares?

[Steve Hilton]

Played into that. I played the type when you're dressed up and, you know, your suit and tie, you know, I was doing that in high school and you're putting the hairdryer, you're playing into that. That even as you're pushing back against it. And so I also scrutinize that aspect of me. And now again, I'm just willing to accept those things which I cannot control.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God, he wants to be the governor. He's never the president. He's never gonna be the president. I'm just gonna mention that he's never going to be the President of the United States and hopefully he'll be a prisoner before that happens or at least before he runs. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show Show. This is not an ev and it never will be. If I had an ev, it would be a little commuter car, you know, or a golf cart. I would absolutely own an Eevee as a. Although I'm kind of liking the, the self driving. The Elon Musk's car is the self driving. I, I got a friend who's got a cyber truck and I kind of like the cyber truck, you know, but I wouldn't use it for any heavy lifting. It's just kind of. I like the technology. It's just kind of cool. It's just kind of cool. It's going to change the world, by the way. People will be able to. Tiger woods won't have to worry about driving home anymore. Wouldn't that be something, huh? If Tiger woods would that guy. I, I have been addicted to alcohol. I can't imagine what it's like to be addicted to painkillers. And I understand that's just a much tougher road to hoe. Rush Limbaugh was addicted to him so badly, he went deaf. He was addicted. It kills the little. The little whatever's in your ears and you lose the ability to hear. That's one of the reasons why he went deaf. It's got to be tough, but, man, if I was a billionaire, I would take a helicopter everywhere I went. It's like, oh, my pilot jeep. I'm going to take the helicopter down to 7:11, get a Slurpee. I mean, honestly, if you're a billionaire, why the hell not? When the dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971, gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Wow. I could have had a wading pool full of gold coins rolled around them and everything. Fast forward to today. The US dollar's lost over 85% of its purchasing power. That's why homes are so bloody expensive. You have to spend 30 years paying for them. Gold, on the other hand, has increased in value by 2012. Thousand percent. Central banks are buying it. Major firms like Vanguard and Blackrock hold significant amounts of gold. That's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold. But it starts with education. I want you to listen to this because they have a special event so you can learn more. Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn precious metals event. Free online event rewards you for learning the basics of investing in precious metals. Sign up to get free silver on your next purchase. Get even larger incentives as you go. The more you learn, the more you can earn. But you got to do it now because the special event ends April 30th and it's already April 1st. The dollar lost its anchor in 1971. You don't have to lose yours. You know the drill. Text my name, Rob to the number 989-898. Rob to 989-898 to join Burch's Learn and Earn Precious Metals event by April 3rd 30th. You will thank me. Trust me on this one. Text Rob to 989-898. Coming up, Marco Rubio explains flawlessly exactly why Donald Trump decided we needed to take out Iran. There is no debate about it. There is no anything about it. Also, we're rethinking our membership in NATO because NATO always wants us to help them out around the world, whether it be Ukraine. We did all the heavy lifting there, but this time we asked for a little bit of help with the Straits of Hormuze, maybe landing some planes in their air bases, and they said no. So Donald Trump's about to give them the big the big middle finger. That's coming up. This is the Rob Carson Show.
