Hold it.
Rob Carson
Now.
Bernie Marino
You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show
Bert Jones
in America on air and on the World Wide Web.
Bernie Marino
This is the Rob Carson Show.
Rob Carson
Get up, get here early at Houston's Hobby Airport. Those lines have been snaking out the main terminal down to the baggage claim and all the way out to the parking garage. The airport is warning TSA wait times could be three hours or more. We tried to allow a little more than three hours to get here. Wow.
Bernie Marino
I've been waiting for about two hours now.
Bert Jones
Got nothing else to do but wait.
Rob Carson
The same story at MSY in New Orleans and at Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta. The TSA's funding expired three weeks ago after lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on ICE protocols, triggering a partial Homeland Security shutdown. This is your Democrat Party. They did it in December. They don't give our rats behind who suffers. And it is making us suffer. Casualties are their ammunition. Casualties are their ammunition. If people die, so be it. Renee Goode, Alex Pretty. A small sacrifice to make, a small sacrifice to make. We'll call it murder by ice and then we will forget about it. That's your Democrat Party. Of course, financial casualties, that doesn't matter. People not getting paychecks. And you know, of course Congress gets goes ahead and gets paid and whatnot, but they don't care. Financial and physical casualties are their ammunition.
Caroline Levitt
Some airports, four hours at some airports. And you wonder why. It's because unscheduled absences among airport security officers have more than doubled since the shutdown.
Rob Carson
For a living. Probably drive an Uber.
Caroline Levitt
300 employees have quit.
Bernie Marino
I mean, they haven't been getting the paycheck. And remember, this is the second round of a shutdown. So they missed two paychecks the first time. I think they've already.
Rob Carson
I tell you what, I'm so bloody sick and tired of this Democrat Party. Stinking, rotten, filthy, absolutely corrupt. They have stolen trillions of dollars from you and I. They moved to Washington, D.C. they spend their entire lives telling us how to live ours. Here is Chuck Schumer. He is a gargoyle with osteoporosis. I mean, he should be sitting on the Notre Dame. Just go sneering at people as they walk in. That's what he looks like. He is a. He's a foul human being. And here he is admitting. Admitting that ICE by deporting people, and he's lying about what ICE is doing. But ICE deporting people, ICE going after people to remove them because they're here illegally, will remove tens of millions of people from the voter rolls. He's admitting it.
Caroline Levitt
Thank you.
Rob Carson
Leader Schum, you recently responded to President
Caroline Levitt
Trump's true social post regarding the Save America act, saying that if he's going to not sign any bills until it's passed, I want you to listen how
Rob Carson
passionate he is about this. He is because he realizes that by taking illegals and their numbers off the voter rolls to take away all the cheating the Democrat Party does means they will lose in perpetuity because nothing they propose is good. It's going to be in a total gridlock. Can you just explain? Isn't this sort of a, you know,
Caroline Levitt
stab in the back to the American
Rob Carson
people who it is? 85% of them.
Caroline Levitt
85% of voters support voter ID.
Rob Carson
85% of the American people support voter ID to prove they are citizens, to get the right to vote, which is reserved for citizens.
Bernie Marino
Yes, but their bill isn't voter id, number one.
Rob Carson
Yes, it is.
Bernie Marino
It is about voter registration.
Rob Carson
Yes. And you've got to prove your citizenship to be able to register.
Bernie Marino
It makes it. It allows ICE to kick tens of billions of people off the rolls.
Rob Carson
No, no, no, no. They have nothing to do with that at all. All they're doing is removing people from the country off the rolls.
Bernie Marino
And they don't tell them until election Day. And you show up and you say,
Rob Carson
just making this up.
Bernie Marino
You're not registered anymore. You're not registered here. You're not.
Rob Carson
He's lying. He's absolutely lying.
Bernie Marino
On the rolls.
Rob Carson
Yeah, because we said you've got to prove your citizenship to enjoy the right of a citizen, which is to vote. No one else has that.
Bernie Marino
And they say, I didn't know that. This is a bill that destroys the country. And it is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them, purging them.
Rob Carson
Yes, absolutely. 100%.
Bernie Marino
Letting people know and taking the rights in a algorithm put together by.
Rob Carson
My God. So unbelievable. Just filthy, rotten, corrupt. I played this yesterday, and I want you to listen to this because Hakeem Jeffries mentions several scenarios about where ICE agents are. He's wrong about several of the houses of worship and the schools and whatnot. But. But I want you to hear what's the Most important to him about where he doesn't want ICE agents who enforce immigration law.
Bernie Marino
But one of those demands is keep ICE out of sensitive locations. And we've defined that as schools, houses of worship, hospitals.
Rob Carson
Okay, Schools, houses of worship, hospitals, schools where illegals might have their kids. Hospitals where, you know, they might need medical treatment, you know, and, and polling sites. And polling sites. He throws in polling sites there.
Bernie Marino
We want an explicit prohibition.
Rob Carson
Okay. Of all those things, but which one does he focus on?
Bernie Marino
That ICE can go nowhere near any polling sites in the United States of America. It's one of our demands. We're not going to bend on it.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God. Schools, churches, hospitals where illegals need the required services. All right, but polling places, what's the. Okay, you go to a hospital because you're sick, you go to a school because your kids go to school there. You go to church to worship. What do you go to a polling place for? To vote. Yeah, there you go. See, they just admitted it. I mean, it is, it is absolutely, it is absolutely remarkable. And of course, John Thune, I gotta tell you, man, I. Maybe, maybe it's gonna take Donald Trump writing an executive order that will be challenged. An executive order that requires you to show an ID when you register to vote. And if anybody does not shown their identification cannot prove their citizenship, they are removed from the voter rolls, then so be it. So it. But the American people want, want, want this SAVE Act. And here is John Thune throwing his hands up.
Bert Jones
We don't have the votes either to proceed. Get on.
Rob Carson
How is it the Democrat Party with minorities in both houses can shut down the damned government and we can't pass a piece of legislation that guarantees that your vote is yours?
Bert Jones
Talking filibuster. Nor to sustain one if we got on it.
Rob Carson
But that's just a. That is just a function of math.
Bert Jones
And there isn't anything I can do about that. I mean, I understand the President's got a passion to.
Rob Carson
How about gross em. See this issue addressed as we all do. Does he understand that, though? Well, we've conveyed that to him, but
Bert Jones
we will continue to make that argument.
Rob Carson
I'm just getting kind of tired of the Republican Party whenever they're in power, you know, playing with Marcus of Queensbury rules in an MMA fight and getting their butts kicked? Honestly, this is brand new from Jim Gossett is the President.
Bernie Marino
Listen up to me, John Thune. You must pass the SAVE act soon. It's time to end it and not defend it. The filibuster
Rob Carson
that's Nice.
Bernie Marino
Say back. We need to pass it. Becoming law is a must. It deals with every facet.
Rob Carson
Yes, it does.
Bernie Marino
Of Democrats we don't trust. Don't rag your feet anymore. Get it off the Senate floor. You can't amend it. You must suspend it. The fill of mustard.
Rob Carson
Yeah, they gotta do something because, you know, what kind of country do we live in when 85% of the people want something and the two parties in power will not listen to the will of the people. What in the hell has happened to the country? I am so bloody sick of these people moving to Washington D.C. spending their entire lives telling us how to live ours. And we, and we are shouting at the rooftops, we want voter id. They won't do anything about it. I don't know what it's going to take. I don't have the wherewithal financially. I don't have the reach that I need to create a movement where we send a million people to sit there on the National Mall or before the Capitol and protest this and make a noise they cannot refuse. I don't have that ability to do that. I wish I did. But I live here in D.C. and if there are some people who want to get this started, I will work with you because I'm done with this nonsense. It's amazing the left can bring out 500,000 people for a no Kings protest with a bunch of pre made signs and all of this. And we can't create an organic movement that we go to Washington D.C. and say, do what? We say, do the will of the American people. When is that going to happen? When are they going to start listening to us? This is a gimme. This is a layup. John Thune. This is a layup. Republicans and it's a bunch of rhinos doing this. Here is Bernie Marino talking about those
Bernie Marino
people for the entire conference. He can't fire. He didn't hire these people. And unfortunately, Lauren, just going to be blunt, there's three or four Republicans that just won't be part of the team and they row in their own different direction. And unfortunately, Leader Thune has very little leverage over them now. We're working through it. Today we had a very spirited conversation at lunch. And I think we're getting closer to having people realize how important it is for us to deliver on a fundamental promise which is to secure our elections for the future. So I think we're going to get there. I think we're getting there. And I can tell you Senator Thune is open to that dialogue. He personally calls some of these senators. But it's very, very difficult when you
Rob Carson
don't have a lot of leverage. Well, it's about time you guys started doing something, because we've seen this playbook forever with the Republican Party, and it is no longer acceptable. We got a different president here. We got a president of the White House right now. We have fought for, for 10 years while the establishment tried to put him in jail, tried to kill him, tried to take his fortune, tried to take him off the ballot, raided Mar a Lago, all of that. It's a different ball game. And you start fighting for him because we are. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Caroline Levitt
Poor little Democrats.
Rob Carson
Are you guys okay today that I came in to check on you? Every time Trump does something good, you guys speak fast. Out.
Caroline Levitt
Would you guys shut up and let him work?
Rob Carson
Well, Senate Majority Leader John TH has said that, gosh, he would love to pass the SAVE act, but unfortunately, he just does not have the votes. In fact, according to Majority Leader Thune, he doesn't even have the votes to enforce a talking filibuster, which is crazy
Bert Jones
because there are enough Republicans in the
Rob Carson
Senate to enforce that. I wonder what the issue is. But, you know, hey, look, that's okay, John. I get it. I get it. Nothing you can do. Nothing can do. By the way, by the way, when you start asking for money for reelection campaigns for people like Senator Lisa Murkowski, Senator John Curtis of Utah, yourself in South Dakota, I want you to know we'd love to. We'd love to, but there's just nothing we can do. Nothing we can do about it. You know, that is Nick Friedas on Twitter. The people are righteously pissed about the SAVE act and the lack of the Republican Party. And you Democrats should be mad, too, because you guys also want voter integrity. And both parties, despite 85% of the American public saying they want to know that their vote is theirs. That's all you're asking. There are many, many elections. And I'll just go ahead and say the election of 2020, my vote was stolen, and I'm still ticked about it. Yeah, my vote was stolen in 2020. I can say that now. What other votes were stolen? What other votes were stolen? Were there elections in Arizona that were stolen? Oh, yeah. I kind of lean in that way. Were there elections stolen in Atlanta and Fulton County? Yeah. You know, and what does that mean? It means tens of thousands, maybe millions of peoples, your votes were taken from you. The thing that's guaranteed you as A citizen taken from you by a Democrat party who brings illegals in by the millions, loads them up with government largesse, gives them Social Security cards and hopes and guarantees they'll vote because their policies fail. Here's Caroline Levitt talking about the SAVE Act.
Caroline Levitt
Media Let me be very clear. The Save America act does not prohibit anyone from voting with the exception of illegal aliens. And the greatest way to disenfranchise American citizens from voting in American elections is to allow illegal aliens to vote, which is what Democrats want to do. We see it taking place in Democrat jurisdictions at the state and local level across this country. So the Save America act corrects that. And as far as married women who
Rob Carson
have changed, and there's nothing wrong with that, you have nothing to feel bad about for demanding that everyone who votes can prove they are an American citizen. That's is right. It is righteous.
Caroline Levitt
Change their name. If they're already registered to vote, they're entirely unaffected by the SAVE Act. And for the small fraction of individuals who have changed their name or their address, they can still register to vote.
Rob Carson
Of course.
Caroline Levitt
Course. They just have to go through their state.
Rob Carson
Guess what? It's kind of a pain in the butt to get a driver's license to Do I like doing it? No. Am I going to do it? Yeah. Have I always done it? Yeah.
Caroline Levitt
To update that document.
Rob Carson
You're a white man. You're privileged.
Caroline Levitt
And this is something that the American people, married women and minorities and people all across this country who Democrats are insultingly saying cannot do this. They're already doing it every day, going to the Social Security office, going to the dmv. And I think it's frankly insulting that the Democrats are saying that there are certain groups of people in this country who aren't smart enough to update their documents.
Rob Carson
It's a soft bigotry of low expectations is what they call that. In case you're wondering why the Democrat Party brought so many illegals in. And remember, I don't know if you remember this because, you know, you may be, you know, white, you know, privileged, whatever, but there's a real good chance that your ancestors or even grandparents are immigrants and they came here penniless with an appreciation for the possibility of living the American dream to get away from what they escaped. Now they're just getting away from crap holes to get free crap. And they don't want to assimilate. That's the way it's going. Let me prove it to you. This is the center for Immigration Study Director Jessica Vaughn, talking about how many Illegals are on welfare now.
Jessica Vaughn
Sanctuary states typically have other policies that attract illegal settlement and thus burden taxpayers with support of illegal immigrants. Besides funding emergency health care and schooling for all, a number of sanctuary states go farther and choose to provide Medicaid, subsidized health insurance, nutrition assistance, housing.
Rob Carson
How difficult was it when Joe Biden was the president, particularly the first two years for you to make a living? How hard was it? What would you have done to get free health care? What would you have done to get free housing? What would you have done to get child care? Dear God in heaven. Child care is so bloody expensive. But you had to work two or three jobs. You had to work two or three jobs. The Democrat party put people up in the Roosevelt hotel in Manhattan, $500 a night for a year, gave them $5,000 a month in SNAP benefits, gave them free child care. They're still offering free child care if you're illegal in New York City. If you're illegal, can you do that in Mexico? Can you do that in Nicaragua?
Jessica Vaughn
And much more. Illegal immigrants use these welfare programs in large numbers. My organization has found that over 60% of illegal alien headed households are using at least one form of welfare program and usually more than one at a cost of tens of billions of dollars to taxpayers. Any this is why any resources spent on immigration enforcement actually save taxpayers money. Taxpayer money in the long run.
Rob Carson
Yeah, we're tired of it. Just bloody tired of it. By the way, just got a policy reference email today, your policy renewal summary. Hi there. We've wrapped up your annual review for 26, 27 cycle.

Bernie Marino
This man has my complete and total endorsement. It's not like, oh, gee, let me think about it. Bert Jones has been an incredible leader and, but he has just been solid as a rock and he loves this state so much. And I really want to see him when he has been really, really good at what he does.
Rob Carson
Join President Trump in supporting Bert Jones for governor. The winning team for Georgia.
Bernie Marino
You will be very happy, Georgia.
Rob Carson
I don't know if I can believe that. I mean, my goodness, I don't. Is that really an endorsement? Joining me on the newsmax, I like Bert Jones, Lieutenant governor and current Trump endorsed candidate for governor for Georgia. How you doing, sir?
Bert Jones
Rob, I'm doing well, man. Thank you for having us on today.
Rob Carson
That was a, that was a pretty full throated endorsement by the President of the United States, my friend. That's pretty amazing.
Bert Jones
Absolutely. You know, he hadn't done it once, not twice, but he's done it three times now for me here in Georgia. And I still have these guys running against me, these never Trumpers, as I call them, trying to claim that the President's supporting them. But he, obviously, you could hear that, that audio you just played, right?
Rob Carson
Yes, sir.
Bert Jones
It's as strong as it comes, you know.
Rob Carson
Well, it's, it's important and I think the president is popular. The, the, the liberal media, the leftist media, the Democrat Party are doing everything they can to counter Donald Trump no matter what he does, including most recently demeaning our troops and their tremendous success starting on day one with epic fury. And, and now, you know, the Democrat Party forcing the DHS to be shut down when we're at our most vulnerable. It is remarkable, isn't it?
Bert Jones
Bert Jones is wild. It's wild to watch them, they, they, they dislike him so much. I've never seen anything like it before. That they would, they would rather do harm to our, to our, to our military personnel as well as our country as a whole. It's just ridiculous. And the problem is that it's spreading. You know, down here in Georgia, we have Democrats that used to be kind of middle of the road have just gotten to be these left wing, almost lunatic likes.
Rob Carson
Well, this isn't like for instance in the state of Virginia. I just moved to Virginia from Kansas City and I moved to Virginia. The, the governor here, who is a crazy white liberal cat lady, lied about who she was, misrepresented who she was, got into office and is springing all sorts of crap on the people of Virginia. 75, new taxes, gun control. That is completely unconstitutional, even though the state has a $2.3 billion surplus going in. Is that the same thing that's going on in the state of Georgia?
Bert Jones
Well, it's even worse than that. Even the Republicans and Democrats. Republicans I'm running against and Democrats are running against. You really couldn't tell the difference between them if you put them in the room, because the guys that I'm running against are such moderate lightweights that they might as well be running on the Democratic ticket. So it is kind of scary that in a Republican primary, I truly am the only common sense conservative candidate in the race because the rest of them have a track record that is easily exposed, and they are not America First. I can assure you that you're running
Rob Carson
against a guy named Rick Jackson who's, I guess, spending a lot of money on TV ads and whatnot, and is presenting himself, I've heard, as a, as a conservative outsider. I'm assuming he is misrepresenting himself.
Bert Jones
Well, he bankrolled Jeb Bush's campaign back in 2016, bankrolled Nikki Haley's campaign in 24, and he runs a health care operation that promotes Planned Parenthood, dei. He has a DEI director within his organization, as well as trans surgeries for minors.
Rob Carson
Dear God.
Bert Jones
Prisoners. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. I'm telling you, it's terrible.
Rob Carson
Well, this isn't, this is not the people of Georgia. I don't care if you're black, white or otherwise. This is not the people of Georgia. Same goes for this, this legislature here in the, in the state of Virginia. They do not represent the people. The people are much more conservative and common sense than, than these people who are either running for office or already in office.
Bert Jones
No question. No question about it. And, and, and we need to root them all out, you know, Rob, because they're. They poison to our state. They're poison to our country. And they don't need to be involved in politics for sure, because they don't represent the people in their best interest. And so that's a big reason why I'm running. I've seen all these guys up close and personal, and they do not believe in what the president is doing right now and his agenda because they never have before. So you can always tell what somebody's going to do in the future by just watching what they've done in the past. And these have all they're all, all trying to fool the public here, but they're not going to Georgia. Smarter than this.
Rob Carson
I think so, too. How are things at Hartsfield? I mean Hartsfield, the most busy airport in the country. The Democrat party doesn't care about the inconvenience, doesn't care about our safety. When sleeper cells are being awakened. How are things at the busiest airport in the country?
Bert Jones
Well, obviously you got a big hiccup. You know what's going on when you, when you cut off, when you've got people out there either working for free right now or they're just calling in sick. So it causes a shortage in personnel. And obviously when you have the busiest airport in the world, it doesn't take long for things to back up pretty quickly. So, yeah, so that's the concern. But unfortunately we've got two Democratic U.S. senators, believe it or not. I still don't know how we have that, but we've got two. And they're just as partisan as the next person. So they're not, they're not helping matters. Anyone's up for reelection. So I can't believe that he's taken the stances that he's taken. But, you know, but he's going to, he's going to. I hope the people of Georgia remember it on the ballot this coming November.
Rob Carson
You know, there's a lot of people leaving the Democrat run states. I don't call them blue states. That's bull crap. Red is communist. But a lot of people, they vote in these people like Zoran Mandami. Nobody wants to live there anymore. Nobody moves to New York because Zoan Mandam in charge. Nobody is moving to Maryland because Westmore is in charge. Nobody's moving to California because of Gavin Newsom's policies. The state of Georgia, you're talking about possibly getting rid of the income tax. You've seen how well it works in Tennessee, in Florida and Texas, in South Dakota, all of these things. Is that one of the things you're planning on doing if you become the governor?
Bert Jones
Yeah, absolutely. And our, and our neighbors are talking about it. South Carolina, North Carolina. And we, we've lowered the state income tax all four years I've been lieutenant governor. I'd like to, to see us go to zero. We're taking on property tax issues at the local level. And so we're doing all the, all the kitchen table issues, things that will help people in their pocketbooks and their wallets. We're doing those right now and going to continue to do it. When I'M governor. And it's just amazing to me that all these measures, we're in legislative session right now and we've been bringing these proposals up and every time that every Democrat votes against measures that will absolutely represent savings to their constituents and they're just doing it because of this ideology that the Democrats have right now. That's just un American.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And if you win the governorship at the state of of Georgia, it's going to result in a net income of people. Georgia is a beautiful state. I used to do a lot of time on the radio there when Wyatt in Atlanta was there. They even considered adding me there for the the morning show, but then they got sold. But I love the area. I love the state of Georgia. It's an absolutely gorgeous place. And I got to tell you, if you can make it more attractive by lessening regulation and lessening taxes, it's going to blow up. But we've got to get rid of these woke policies that are driving people out of states like Virginia, states like New Jersey, states like California. Bert Jones, I appreciate you being on. I know you got bertjones4ga.com you're on Twitter, Burt Jones4jea. Anywhere else we can direct people to help you out.
Bert Jones
You can go to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, all under the same call sign. And I just appreciate you having me on here, Rob, and look forward to seeing in the near future.
Rob Carson
Brother, you are welcome anytime here and when you win, I will come to Georgia and I'll take you out to dinner at Crystal Burger.
Bert Jones
That sounds good.
Bernie Marino
All right.
Bert Jones
Look forward to it. Take care.
Rob Carson
All right, brother, talk to you soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Every day for 20 years, I devoted myself to making sure my wife and kids were well dressed and ready to face the world. Meanwhile, dad over here wore T shirts and jeans. Now I've discovered quince. Quince has everyday essentials I love with quality that lasts like linen bottoms and shorts, Pima cotton, European jersey linen. You're not just paying for brand markup or fancy retail stores, just quality clothing. And I look good. Their clothing is rated between four and a half and five stars by thousands of people wearing it every day. Linen shorts are a go to they don't wrinkle when they're not cheap. The clothes I wear look expensive but aren't. When I go out in the evening and I do now, I'm actually turning heads. It's nice to feel good and look good. Quince does that for me at a Price I can afford right now. Go to quince.com newsmax for free shipping and 365 day returns. Don't keep settling for clothes that don't last and don't look good. Go to Q U I n c e.com Newsmax for free shipping and 365 day returns. Quince.com Newsmax this is Benny Johnson talking to the Federalist Sean Davis about Republicans in Congress not being able to muster the votes or the cajones for the SAVE Act.
Sean Davis
Yeah, so we're actually getting a front row seat to a wonderful show that I like to call Failure Theater. It's been put on for years by Republicans and the way it works is this. They don't actually want to pass something. They don't really care what their own voters want. They care about delivering for K Street. Oh, so in this case, what they don't have the votes for is voter id, voter security, election integrity.
Rob Carson
Give me a layup.
Sean Davis
But they want to get credit for it. And the way they do that is they always set up these 60 vote thresholds and those are great because you don't have 60 Republican senators so they know it won't pass. Just remember they don't want it to pass. Yep. But it allows them, knowing that it's going to fail to set up failure votes, which is what Thune wants to do. Thune does not want a majority vote because he doesn't have regardless of the 50 co sponsors on this, he doesn't have 50 votes. So what he wants to do is set up a 60 vote threshold knowing it will fail so he can get every Republican or nearly Republican, every Republican on board. See, Mitch McConnell will go on a 60 vote threshold and he'll vote for it because then he can go back and say well of course I support.
Rob Carson
Yeah, well that crap ain't gonna fly anymore. That crap isn't going to fly anymore. We're done. Get some work done. Do what we're asking you to do. We don't want you to whiff at the whiffle ball. We want you to hit the damn thing. And honestly, so ridiculous. We see through this. Do you think it's 1960? Do you think it's 1970? Do you not think that we have the Library of Alexandria times 1 million in the palm of our hand for God's sake? Do you not see that we can see everything about you? What you're doing, what you're not doing. We get it. We're not stupid. We're not stupid. Do something for God's sake. This is a layup. Everybody wants you to be able to prove your citizenship, to get the rights of citizenship. And one of those rights is the right to vote. And if someone votes who is illegal, they're taking away your right to vote. They're taking away your representation. And there are some Democrats who have no problem with it. No problem. I promised you that I would play Whoopi Goldberg saying one of the dumbest things in the history of mankind. I'm going to get to that. But I have a new a new view. Theme theme song.

Rob Carson
We'll start with Sunny host Sonny Hostin is an ignoramus talking about Donald Trump going into Iran with a plan to get rid of Iran's nukes, get rid of Iran's missiles, end the threat to not only the, the, the Middle east, but also the world, to get rid of the ayatollah to, to end the slavery that has existed in that country with regard to women, to free the Persian people, to spread peace around the world. Other than that, nothing here is Sunny Hosten. I mean, honestly, why they've got to go back to the stuff that they started with Hollywood dish and, you know, on camera cooking segments.
Jessica Vaughn
I mean, it's something to your point, Whoopi. You know, I've said it before. It's very easy to get into a war, very hard to get out of one.
Rob Carson
Well, you're certainly an authority on that,
Jessica Vaughn
and we know that. And I don't think he has a plan. I don't even think he has concepts of a plan.
Rob Carson
No, I think he has a very good plan. He's really, really actually said it very. And all of the people surrounding me, Pete Hegseth and whatnot, they've explained it thoroughly. You've just been too busy watching TMZ at this point.
Jessica Vaughn
And I think what's. Yeah.
Rob Carson
Like health care. Like health care. Health care should have been fixed in 2010 with Obamacare.
Jessica Vaughn
Well, I mean, the concepts of a plan on how to get out.
Rob Carson
Okay, so whenever there's a conflict that, that Republicans need to win or Donald Trump, a Republican president needs to win is a righteous movement. Suddenly healthcare Suddenly, out of nowhere.
Jessica Vaughn
Healthcare, Iran.
Bernie Marino
Yeah.
Jessica Vaughn
He's saying there is no leader. Actually, the son of the person that you.
Rob Carson
Yeah, but he's in a coma.
Jessica Vaughn
Used to be the leader. Is and is considered far more.
Sean Davis
Right.
Jessica Vaughn
Is now in charge. And I think these mixed messages really are going to.
Rob Carson
They're not mixed at all. You just got to pay attention.
Jessica Vaughn
To ultimately affect the American people, because it is estimated that this war that we started is costing the American people between one and two billion dollars.
Rob Carson
Now you care. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
Jessica Vaughn
A day. And they're est that if it goes on for as long as, let's say, some of the other wars, about 40 days, 43 days, it could cost the American people more than 200.
Rob Carson
What about $1.5 trillion in green energy bullcrap that results in nothing? Oh, my God. You are so stupid. I just can't stand it anymore. It's like watching a piece of feces called stupid swirl the drain forever. It just never goes down. It just swirls and swirls and swirls, and every day you got to look at it, and you got to see it, and it's just there on television every day. And then, of course, there's Whoopi Goldberg, who says the reason why Iran and Operation Epic Fury is to. Oh, boy, oh, boy. You're going to lose IQ points on this. Be ready for it. If you're driving, you might want to pull over for a second. You'll be a little distracted. You won't even be able to read a stop sign. You'll be like, st. What is that? Just. Just pay attention. Pay attention. The war.
Bernie Marino
The war.
Rob Carson
It's not the war. It's a. It's a military conflict. There you go. Is to distract from Savannah Guthrie's mother and Jeffrey Epstein.
Bernie Marino
It's. It's just nutty as hell. It's nutty as hell.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Bernie Marino
And. And you're right. Every day is something. And it's. You know, I was thinking about it yesterday because I thought you were thinking, well, okay. Why haven't we been talking about Savannah Guthrie and what's going on? Why haven't we not been taught.
Rob Carson
Why have we not hear him pick a little, talk a little?
Bernie Marino
Oh, yeah, I've been talking about the Epstein files, because that's still there.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Bernie Marino
This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything happen.
Rob Carson
There's a coupon. The Coop. They're all cackling.
Bernie Marino
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever Heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Bernie Marino
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
Rob Carson
I know, I know.
Bernie Marino
I award you no points. And may God have mercy on your soul.

Rob Carson
Yeah. They need to get back to the the, the kitchen on set making delightful summer recipes and Hollywood dish. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. All right, so gas prices have gone up a little bit. The price of oil went up $120. Then it dropped down to $80 where it was before the conflict. Now that the US ships are escorting tankers through the Straits of Hormuz. They bombed all these, these Iranian mining ships. They were planning on blowing up and all of that. But here is Whoopi Goldberg. I'm sorry to do this to you. I know the stupid is a little overwhelming saying we should tap the oil reserves down.
Bernie Marino
We have reserves for this. We have reserves.
Rob Carson
You have zero intellectual reserves.
Bernie Marino
Where are they?
Rob Carson
They've been tapped out.
Bernie Marino
Oil reserves. Where is our oil reserve?
Rob Carson
Yeah, Joe Biden emptied it to keep the gas prices artificially low even though his policies caused gas prices go through the ceiling.
Bernie Marino
Yes. When gas gets too much, they bust out the reserves and it brings the price down. So where are, where are the reserves? Where is that, where is anything that he said other than a lot of misery, Right. A lot of pain for people. His.
Rob Carson
Where were you when Joe Biden was the president, you gated community elitist who's been rich for the last 40 plus years. Honestly? Done. I'm done. I can't take any more of you. I can't take any more of you today. You can't either. I know, I know. I'm sorry to subject it to it. It's just sometimes you gotta you to share it. You just got to share it. My gosh. So uncertainty around the world means your investments have to be more certain. What is one of the most certain ways to watch your money grow? What is one of the most certain stores of wealth in the history of mankind? Well, that would be gold, my friends. It's been precious since the day it was discovered. For goodness sakes. Think about it. Gold is at 4164 right now. That's per ounce. Kids, a year and a half ago, about $2,600. It is $5,100. And if you are considering buying gold, what's the number one thing you need to consider a company you can trust? Right? Right. Because there are a million people out there parroting you. Buy your metal here. Buy your metal here. Buy your metal here. There's only one company that Rob Carson has his money in and I don't have a lot of money. And so it's my money is precious. I want to invest it in precious metals. I go with a company I can trust. And it is Birch Gold, A plus rating from the Better Business Bureau. And if you want to get the ball rolling on investing in gold, text my name, Rob. Rob to 989898. Rob to 989898. For Democrats listening Rob is spelled Rob. And also if you were listening to Whoopi Goldberg, text ROB to 989-898. Get the ball rolling. No obligation, just information. Birch Gold, the company I trust. Last hour of the Rom Cars at your right ahead Thane Rosenmob to talk about Iran and other things in the next hour. Don't go anywhere. That's the sound of a big deal at Wayfair.

This episode of The Rob Carson Show delivers Carson’s signature blend of humor and political commentary, focusing on TSA chaos at major airports due to government shutdown, fiery debates about voter ID laws (specifically the SAVE Act), and a robust interview with Bert Jones, Georgia's lieutenant governor and Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate. The conversation anchors on frustrations with both Democratic and Republican leadership, perceived establishment failures, and the populist demand for election security.
On legislative gridlock:
"How is it the Democrat Party with minorities in both houses can shut down the damned government and we can't pass a piece of legislation that guarantees that your vote is yours?” — Rob Carson [07:25]
On Republican infighting:
"There’s three or four Republicans that just won’t be part of the team and they row in their own different direction." — Bernie Marino [10:33]
On illegal immigration and welfare usage:
"Over 60% of illegal alien-headed households are using at least one form of welfare program and usually more than one at a cost of tens of billions of dollars to taxpayers." — Jessica Vaughn [17:06]
On 'The View' and media discourse:
"You have zero intellectual reserves... Joe Biden emptied [the oil reserve] to keep the gas prices artificially low even though his policies caused gas prices [to] go through the ceiling." — Rob Carson [39:01]
Satirical moment:
"That is just a function of math." — Bert Jones deadpans about Senate votes [07:42]

Rob Carson’s tone is energetic, satirical, and combative, with pointed humor and frequent use of sharp analogies. Panelists and guests echo populist frustrations with both parties—especially the establishment—and tap into grassroots energy by referencing "the will of the American people" on issues ranging from voter ID to government spending.
This episode weaves airport shutdown woes, heated voter ID debates, and Georgia’s gubernatorial race into a barrage of populist commentary. Carson’s exasperation with political inaction—both Democratic and Republican—fuels the narrative, repeatedly returning to calls for grassroots mobilization and policy reform. The mix of parody, guest perspectives, and calls to action offers listeners an impassioned conservative take on national news and political strategy.
