Rob Carson
You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world wide web. This is the Rob Carson show. This is the Rob Carson show. This is hour number two of the Rob Carson show. The aforementioned and of course the number here is 800-922-6680. We are on radio stations around the country. We are also streaming live on all newsmax social media, including Facebook. We got a lot of people watching on Facebook on X, a lot of people watching on X rumble and, and YouTube and Instagram, among other things. So there you go. It's kind of cool. It's kind of cool. A lot of stuff to get to. A lot of stuff to get to this hour. The the Democrat party is. Is morally and intellectually bankrupt. I've been saying that for a very long time. They don't want free and fair elections because they can't win elections on ideas. They have to rig them and steal them. That's just the way it is. And of course, we heard this yesterday. This is the big headline. This is Harry Intern from CNN.
- [02:10]
Mayor Jackson
Take a look here. Favorite photo ID to vote. 85% of white people. Favorite 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans. Favorite. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. We A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race.
- [02:30]
Rob Carson
It's not controversial at all. The only people who are saying that it's bad are people in Democrat leadership. And as things are developing in this country as we are uncovering more massive fraud sweeping across the nation. I think more common sense Democrats are going to step forward and say, shut up. Okay? Please. We want. And by the way, how about start being sane to the national Democrat Party. Each one of these house of cards keeps falling. We got this transgender nonsense that's beginning to be behind us. And those who committed it are being held accountable. And even a lot of Democrats are waking up going, what the hell were we thinking? Not all of you. There's some crazy Karens who still believe that. But eventually it's going to catch up to the Democrat Party. The SAVE act is becoming the Save America act, and it's going to require photo id. It's not racist because, you know, you need an ID for everything. My God, think about all the times you need an id. Every time I try to do anything online, every time I try to sign up for something, I get a rectal exam with the number of IDs that I need. And then, of course, they send you a text you a code on top of all of that. And then you got to come up with another password. There are a million. It's not controversial. It's stupid to think otherwise. Here's Mike Lee with an optimistic vision of what's coming. Brief update on the SAVE Act. This has been a huge day. Great development. We've added more co sponsors and we've now got Senator Thune, the Senate Majority leader, get on it, indicating that we'll be bringing it up for a vote. So Chip, Roy and I, who introduced the SAVE act for the first time two years ago, are retrofitting the SAVE act to add in the voter ID requirement, something that we had originally included. It's not a burden, okay? It's not a burden at all to present an id because you are preserving the integrity of your vote, because every vote that is stolen by someone who is illegal or dead negates your vote. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to think that this is a bad thing. Steve Scalise is working hard on this, too.
- [04:42]
Mayor Jackson
Yes.
- [04:43]
Liz Collin
We've been working with President Trump. We wanted to bring what is now called the Save America act, and that is the SAVE act plus voter id. And Chip filed the bill.
- [04:55]
Rob Carson
Yeah, we already heard that. So that's good. But Democrats, of course, Democrats are over here and they're trying to distract and caterwaul and they're calling it Jim Crow 2.0 and Tim Kaine yesterday. And this is really funny because we've been censored there's been a creeping censorship with everything we say for the last 30 years, okay? And somebody decided years ago we could not say illegal alien. Okay? We cannot say illegal alien. Bull crap. Finally, literally, like, the last two years, we've been able to say illegal alien, okay? We've also been able to say things like, you know, a transgendered individual, you know, you know, isn't the sex that they claim to be. All right? Remember that? Because all of that was censored. There's been a creeping censorship on our language. And here's Tim Kaine, who is an idiot. Wears his glasses up on his forehead. He looks like an idiot, and he's. He's in front of Congress yesterday saying, we can't say illegal aliens.
- [05:52]
Immigrant Advocate
There's only one kind of person that we demonize with the label illegal, and I'm tired of it in being here for 13 years.
- [05:58]
Rob Carson
Yeah, they're illegal. You see, that's why we deem. Let's not really demonize it. It's just calling them illegal because they're illegal.
- [06:03]
Immigrant Advocate
I just heard too few words on this floor that talk about the contributions that immigrants have made to this country.
- [06:09]
Rob Carson
Yeah, we're all sons of immigrants, you idiot. Most of us are sons of immigrants. We're all immigrants. We all didn't. We weren't born here. Native Americans. We stole their land. Okay, whatever. Sorry. I wasn't alive then. We're all immigrants. Democrats are like, oh, my God, we're immigrants. And then they throw in our faces that we are anti immigrant because we want people to come here legally like our ancestors did. It's a distraction.
- [06:40]
Immigrant Advocate
During our entire history. Immigration is the transfusion.
- [06:44]
Rob Carson
We know this already. I learned it. I learned it from Schoolhouse Rock. Great American melting pot into the bloodstream.
- [06:51]
Immigrant Advocate
Of the American economy and the American.
- [06:53]
Rob Carson
Politics because we partake in it. We built America. Immigrants build America.
- [06:58]
Immigrant Advocate
That keeps our Nation Young at 250. New skills, new ideas, new connections to. To places around the world. Are there challenges? Yes. Do we need order? Of course we do. Should we reform? Yes, but it should be within the overall framework of. Immigrants are not a problem. Our immigrant communities are part of what makes.
- [07:21]
Rob Carson
Unless they're, you know, 89% of the Somalians up there. So. Yeah. But you know what? I'm going to go ahead and keep saying illegal alien action. I can say it now.
- [07:36]
Kristi Noem
It's.
- [07:41]
Rob Carson
That was a song from Phil Collins about 30 years ago, and there was a video, and he. He wore a sombrero and a fake mustache. He was so racist. But they banned the Song forever. And. And I'm bringing it back. It's a silly song. It's kind of a silly song. You know, honestly, of all the songs that he did, kind of silly. Here is a Christy Noem. Because the Democrat party opened our southern border and didn't give a crap about the death and destruction and rape and murder and child sex trafficking and all and fentanyl deaths. They didn't care. Democrats, remember what I told you. Your party is nuts. Your party is intellectually, morally bankrupt. If you are sane, faith, religious, patriotic, you need to tell your party to change or leave your party and start another one. I'm serious. But here's Kristi Noem with what. What happened in our southern border that Democrats don't want to bring up Left.
- [08:36]
Kristi Noem
Tries to tell us many times that it's somehow compassionate to allow that kind of chaos. It isn't. It was dangerous not just on this side of the border, but on the Mexican side of the border as well.
- [08:47]
Rob Carson
Yeah. Listen to this.
- [08:48]
Kristi Noem
We saw many of those illegal migrants not be able to survive the brutal terrain. They didn't survive the river crossing. Those causes of death, of heat and water were dangerous. And the left behind so many bodies that in some counties along the border they had to install migrant morgues just to pick up the dead bodies that were passed.
- [09:08]
Rob Carson
And the buzzards got fat. Yeah. That was a story I remember reading a couple years ago when Joe Biden was the president. The buzzards had too much flesh to feast on human flesh on their way.
- [09:21]
Kristi Noem
To try to get into the United States.
- [09:22]
Rob Carson
Yeah.
- [09:23]
Kristi Noem
In fact, during the Biden administration and those open, so many.
- [09:29]
Rob Carson
So many people were sexually molested as they came here and then traded as a human cargo. Unbelievable. In your Democrat party. The Democrat party was perfectly fine with it.
- [09:46]
Kristi Noem
Border policies we saw. Even the UN declared that the United States and Mexico border was the deadliest land route in the world. Countless people were sexually abused and trafficked over and over again and exploited. One story that I remember that impacted me so dramatically was a horrifying story of a father who paid a smuggler $1,000 to bring his wife and his two year old daughter into the United States. What happened once they got over the border? Those smugglers took that mom and daughter into a stash house and kidnapped them and held them hostage for a ransom. And said that father would not get them back unless he paid another $23,000 to them. And said if he did not immediately pay that they would do things to his daughter that he couldn't even imagine. That was Happening on a daily basis, 100%.
- [10:35]
Rob Carson
The Democrat Party should be ashamed of itself. But they have no shame. They have no shame. By the way, one other story, and I haven't covered it and I'm not going to cover it, is Savannah Guthrie's mother's abduction. I'm not going to cover it. Last night I watched some shows that I normally check in on every night, news programs that devoted the entire hour to this. I am not going there because first of all, number one, concern that woman and her security and what she's suffering through. It's none of my business. All I can do is hope and pray that she is better and all that matters is her safety and security, then the family. And if this were your mother, you wouldn't want this story everywhere. I'm not going to partake in the story. I'm not going to share the story. The only thing I'm going to share is when they catch the bastards who did it and put them on trial. But until then, I think it's. I think it is ghoulish in grotesque. And I'm not going to cover the story. So if you want to hear that stuff, you want to go there. I didn't cover the JonBenet Ramsey trial much either. You know, just. No. Or just the story in general, because there are some things I just don't think are my business. They're not my business. And I think it is, like I said, it's grotesque. Every. Every last night, I said a prayer for this, this dear woman, this dear woman in her 80s, right at the denouement of her life and somebody kidnaps her untold suffering, she may already be gone. That's none of my business. It's none of my business. I'm just gonna tell you. So if that's what you want, you ain't gonna get it here. All right. But you know, we're gonna get. At the bottom of the hour, Liz Collin, journalist from Minneapolis. I mean, like the John Solomon of Minneapolis. She is a lion of broadcast journalism. She's gonna join us at the bottom of the hour. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Who would not want voter id? Only somebody that wants to.
- [12:45]
Mayor Jackson
That's true.
- [12:47]
Rob Carson
You know, it's interesting. The Democrats, when Joe Biden was the president, wanted to nationalize the elections to codify election theft. Now they're claiming that Donald Trump wants to nationalize elections because he wants to codify the election integrity. It doesn't make any sense because, you know, they're just Democrats, that's all. In Minnesota mayors, this is pretty cool, actually, because Minnesota three times was voted for Donald Trump. Overall, what really blows things is Minneapolis and the corrupt DFL party, the Democrat, Farmer Laborer, Communist Party. And Minnesota mayors. 250 mayors have signed on to a letter calling on state leaders to reverse course on their massive, massive corruption. There's a little community called Cross Lake. You know, Cross Lake up there. You know, I think it's north of Lake Minnetonka. I'm really not sure, though, because, you know, used to live there and everything. But Cross Lake, Mayor Jackson, pure fest was or pure feast. He spoke yesterday at a presser talking about the corruption. And I think it's wonderful that some people with common sense are finally speaking out. And this is not going to end well for Tim Roots and Keith Ellison and Ilhan Omar, who I hope is jailed and then deported penniless back to Somalia. Here he is talking about meeting with Tim Roths years ago. Tim Volt, very aware of the fraud.
- [14:14]
Mayor Jackson
Just as alarming is the scale of fraud that has plagued Minnesota and tarnished our reputation nationwide. Minnesotans are losing faith that accountability will ever come. Governor Walz visited Cross Lake, the city I'm proud to represent. Across the table. The message was consistent and clear. When pressed about the looming deficit, the governor acknowledged the Department of Human Services was being abused, that guardrails were lacking, and that counties were enrolling individuals into programs without sufficient oversight. On that point, the governor was right. But the acknowledgement raises an even more troubling question. If this abuse was known, why were stronger safeguards not put in place sooner?
- [15:02]
Rob Carson
Because they voted Democrat. Yep, that's the Somalis. They voted Democrat. That's why they kept it on the down low. And I think a lot of. I think a lot of Democrats made some money off it, to be quite honest. David Koch, who went with Nick Shirley into Minneapolis, he was at Congress yesterday, and here he is talking about something that he noticed that started the ball rolling.
- [15:23]
David Koch
Most notably the enormous number of child care facilities that had opened up. I would drive around the Twin Cities and had seen these child care facilities were literally on every block. Some blocks had two or three childcare facilities on the same block. Minnesota sees a fair amount of snow in the winter. And I began to notice driving by these childcare facilities, there were never any footprints in the snow outside these childcare facilities. And I'd go buy them three, four, five times a day, Monday through Friday, because my office is in the heart of where a lot of these Childcare facilities are. So I said, well, what's going on here with all these childcare facilities? So I began to check the Minnesota Secretary of State's website to find they're.
- [15:58]
Rob Carson
Not child care centers, they're leering centers. Duh.
- [16:02]
David Koch
Now just who owned all these childcare facilities? And guess what? Every single one of them was smiling.
- [16:08]
Rob Carson
That's racist. No, actually not at all. He also said, you know, years ago, the Democrat party is a massive scheme. The Democrat Party wanted to be able to do this and they brought in the Hmong community to, to accomplish. But the Hmong community arrived. They've been living there forever and they were hard working individuals. They would have nothing to do with this. So where did they go? They went, oh, oh, Somalia. Somalia is the armpit of the world, the meth lab trailer park of America, of the world. And we'll bring in Somalians and Somalians played. That's why 89% of them are on some sort of aid. And they have stolen it and they've sent it back to Somalia. The biggest source of income for the country of Somalia is American welfare dollars. That's just the fact. Let's go back to this Cross Lake mayor to talk about the billions stolen in Minnesota and how it's impacting every, every municipality in Minnesota.
- [16:59]
Mayor Jackson
Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been proven stolen. Dozens of defendants have been charged by federal prosecutors and systematic failures allowed it to happen. Not enough has been done by the governor, his administration, as well as our legislature to protect Minnesota taxpayers, protect counties and restore confidence in state government.
- [17:20]
Rob Carson
Yeah. The Democrat Farmers Laborers Party in Minnesota is a crime syndicate. They are a crime syndicate. They need to be disbanded, taken down, gutted, and people need to go to jail. There you go, David Koch again. Let's hear from David Koch again talking about the, the oddness of all these, these Somali daycare centers.
- [17:44]
David Koch
What's even stranger is that every one of these facilities located in a commercial or industrial building. No play areas, bad neighborhoods.
- [17:51]
Narrator/Advertiser
Yeah.
- [17:51]
David Koch
And several of the child care facilities had signage which stated they were open either 7am to 10pm 2p 10pm Quality Learning center, for example, or open 24 hours. Who the heck brings their kid to stay overnight at a childcare facility in a rough neighborhood? None of it made any sense.
- [18:07]
Rob Carson
And they're doing this all over the country, doing it with hospices in California, in strip malls and vacant buildings. It is remarkable. And it's the Democrat party across the country. And it all came in during COVID They used Covid as a way to put this thing into light speed to loot trillions of dollars. Trillions of dollars from our treasury.
- [18:30]
David Koch
Fraud certainly exists in every community. It was the sheer volume and the blatant nature of the Somali fraud that demanded my attention. When one facility, Mako Childcare, has another child care, Mini Child Care, registered at the same address, but the sign still says Mako Child Care, it kind of stands out.
- [18:48]
Rob Carson
Yeah.
- [18:49]
David Koch
And again, no children, no footprints in the snow, ever. This is what I mean by being blatant. Misspelled signage posted hours that require two licenses. No child footprints in the snow. Not even once. We got here because of politicians. Almost exclusively Democrats.
- [19:03]
Rob Carson
Yep.
- [19:03]
David Koch
A couple of names come to mind. Jody Harpstead, the former commissioner of the Department of Human Services, and Shereen Gandhi, the current commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Harpstead put the whole fraud on steroids. She was steering the ship from 2019 to 2025 during the COVID 19 pandemic. This is when the whole fraud network exploded into what we see nationally today, into what we see in my numbers.
- [19:28]
Rob Carson
Which are accurate and by the way, Tim Voltz knew it.
- [19:32]
Mayor Jackson
In 2018, Minnesotans are left wondering how much more damage will be tolerated before real change actually occurs. As early as 2018, if not earlier, fraud was brought before congressional oversight committees in Washington, D.C. d.C. The warnings were there and the risks were clearly known. Minnesotans reasonably assumed that our governor and elected leaders would act, that they would confront fraud, prosecute those who stole from taxpayers, and put real safeguards in place to prevent it from ever happening again.
- [20:06]
Rob Carson
No, they didn't. It was national. The Democrat Party again. This is why your Democrat Party, if you have any sense of morality, a moral compass of faith, common sense, and in patriotism, you need to demand your Democratic Party turn around or just start another party again. I told you, they're going to either have to be reinvented or disappear into the dustbin of history. And now they're, they're, they're spiraling into the dustbin. There you go. Liz Collins, lioness of journalism, joins us next. Don't go anywhere. 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 a 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?
- [21:32]
David Koch
We are literally creating a place that.
- [21:35]
Kristi Noem
We know who's coming and going in.
- [21:37]
Liz Collin
And out of our neighborhood.
- [21:38]
Rob Carson
In the middle of the road at.
- [21:39]
Kristi Noem
32Nd and Cedar Avenue, a makeshift roadblock turned this intersection into a roundabout. Cars slowed as drivers noticed. Some honked, others asked questions, and one.
- [21:53]
Rob Carson
Man brought food for the people standing watch. Hi, sir.
- [21:56]
Mayor Jackson
Thank you so much.
- [21:57]
Rob Carson
How did it make you feel just.
- [21:58]
Kristi Noem
Seeing a community checkpoint in your neighborhood?
- [22:01]
Rob Carson
Well, you know, it felt fine. I didn't, I don't, I don't have any trouble with folks helping out. Well, I gotta tell you, many Minnesota liberals are insane. I lived in Minneapolis in the mid-90s, did, did mornings at KS95 everybody. And, and I recognized the liberal. Karen. Back then they would call my show and, and be offended by things that I said. And I called them the dawn patrol. And now they are patrolling neighborhoods and literally public streets and saying, it's my neighborhood. I'm gonna control who comes in. And there's a cabal of them that actually a check license plate. It's nuts. More nuts than I could have ever imagined. Liz Collin, who I like to call a lioness of journalism, joins us on the Newsmax hotline. Liz, how are you today?
- [22:48]
Liz Collin
Hey, I'm doing well. Thanks for reaching out. Always good to be back on the show, Rob. Yeah, those little.
- [22:55]
Rob Carson
You're doing it so good. What you're doing is so good. What you're doing is so good. I mean, better. You know, you, you worked at CCO up there forever. And I, you know, like I said, I used to live in Minneapolis. We used to love doing the Nicollette Mall Winter parade even with 30 below zero. And, you know, and I loved it. They go down to do Acme comedy, you know, and do open mic night down there and everything. But what the hell has happened to Minneapolis? Now you've got checkpoints where people are. And it sounds like it goes all the way to the lieutenant governor of the state, possibly using state resources to check on people coming into town. James o' Keefe came into town. They followed him to his hotel. Then he went to Another hotel. Then they said, get out of town in an hour. What the hell? Liz?
- [23:40]
Liz Collin
Yeah, people are always asking me these questions, but I will say that the majority. This is not the majority of us. I just want to make that disclaimer. It is good job security, however, Rob. But these last couple months, I haven't really seen anything quite like it. And I've seen a lot in my time as a Minnesota reporter, more than 20 years, or just right about that at this point. But, yes, we have the checkpoints. I will say it looks like they have gone down for now, but I know there's another movement that's been posted for them to go back up on Saturday, and they'd like to see more of them. But we did hear from border czar Tom Holman yesterday talking about a little bit of a drawdown. Taking out 700 ICE agents or federal agents anyway from numerous agencies out of Minnesota. But 2,000 remain here. And so far they've netted about 4,000 illegal aliens here in Minnesota, which is a number I think many of us were happy to see. But, yes, all eyes continue to be on Minnesota, no doubt.
- [24:43]
Rob Carson
Well, it sounds like. And I was concerned the other day. I think a lot of people were hoping because, you know, we're Americans, we like it when Americans kick butt. We were hoping insurrection, act, kick the hippies butts, you know, and all that. But it looks like Donald Trump pulled a masterful move and kind of defused the rage machine that had been building in Minneapolis. Calm things down quite a bit. And then now we've even got some cooperation with federal authorities doing what they should do, turning over illegals as they. As they leave custody. How's that looking, by the way?
- [25:14]
Liz Collin
Yeah, you know, we heard that announcement yesterday from Tom Holman. He basically phrased it as, you know, cooperation, unprecedented levels of cooperation that were happening at the county jails. Then we have the political pandering that goes into full effect from certain individuals, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry being one of them, and also reaching out to comment for just the jails. And in Hennepin and Ramsey, those are the folks that seem to have the biggest issue with this. Just saying, hey, is this true or are you guys going to open up the jails? And not really getting much of a clear answer. But I do get the sense that law enforcement across the state is very frustrated by this situation, knowing that this is not hard. I mean, I think they've made, what, 10 times the amount of arrests in Texas and have had nothing like the blowback that Minnesota has experienced. So, So I think there is some middle ground, but I think still some ways to.
- [26:11]
Rob Carson
I used to live in Uptown and then I lived in Aldrich in south Minneapolis. I can't imagine what this is doing for business people coming to Minnesota. I would never consider living in Minnesota ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again. Particularly Minneapolis. It's a damn shame. But there are, you know, listen, Brooklyn center and all the Dinah, all of these areas. How do those people feel about this nonsense? How do they feel. How do they feel about a church being raided with D. I mean, how do they feel about that?
- [26:39]
Liz Collin
Let me give you just a little glimpse into Minneapolis business. I'm not sure if you saw this news, but the Minneapolis City Council has delayed giving the liquor license to a couple of hotels in Minneapolis that have housed ICE agents over the last couple months. Crazy. This has become. I know that there's suburban places of business that are actually reaching out to ICE to support them in their work and other places of. In Minnesota as well. We actually saw, it was kind of interesting yesterday there was a press conference with several dozen mayors are part of this group in Minnesota. But they came forward and just said, you know, you got to keep the focus on fraud and that's what really has to be fixed here. You know, these cities are, you know, in near crisis situations also with their budgets, as you know, and this stuff isn't cheap. You know, with what they have going on at this point, somebody has to pay for all of it. But there's just, I think, a, you know, a large level of frustration. Somebody sent me a picture today of a sweatshirt that was being sold at the airport at msp and it says like, Minnesota versus everyone else. And I don't think that's, that's really not some sort of great flex at all. We don't want to be against everyone.
- [27:52]
Rob Carson
You know, it's, it's, it just really sucks. It really does. Cross Lake. Mayor Jackson. Jackson. Pure feast. I saw him yesterday. 250 mayors have signed on to a letter calling on St. Louis because they are going bankrupt. These little communities are going back and they're just bloody tired of it. That's a hell of a lot of mayors, Liz. This is big.
- [28:13]
Liz Collin
Yeah. And they were basically saying, you know what, we're kind of sick of this talk. We want arrests, we want people to be fired. I mean, there's no really accountability so far. And just back to what you were saying about even that St. Paul church protest, that horrific event that unfolded a couple of weeks ago now. It took the Feds to come in and charge them. I mean, this is something that Ramsey county clearly should have done, but they are so wrapped up in the radical left wing ideology. Instead they had a press conference not that long ago where they were announcing that they would be basically investigating federal agents for anything that they were doing. And that's what Hennepin county, their messaging has been as well. It's that they want to pit the state of Minnesota against the federal government. But the majority of people want nothing to do, you know, with this messaging and this, you know, dangerous rhetoric that has been, you know, peddled almost from day one here.
- [29:06]
Rob Carson
Unbelievable. Liz, can you hold through the break? I've got many more questions I'd like to ask you. I know you're very busy. Would you mind?
- [29:12]
Liz Collin
Yes, sir.

Rob Carson
Lovely. Lovely. More with Liz Collin on the Rob Carson SHOW right after this. Don't go anywhere.
- [29:21]
David Koch
We got here because of politicians, almost exclusively Democrats. A couple of names come to mind. Jody Harpstead, the former commissioner of the Department of Human Services, and Sherene Gandhi, the current commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Harpstead put the whole fraud on steroids. She was steering the ship from 2019 to 2025 during the COVID 19 pandemic. This is when the whole fraud network exploded into what we see nationally today and to what we see in my numbers, which are accurate.
- [29:52]
Rob Carson
Yeah, ground zero for this front. It sounds like it's, it's nationwide. California, now New York. They're saying $115 billion in Medicaid. Kathy Hogle said 50% of the population on Medicaid. Clearly a lot of that is graphed. You saw it on the SNAP benefits and whatnot. And, and all over, all over Minnesota. Liz Collins joins us on the Newsmax hotline. She's been on the in the driver's seat covering a lot of these stories. The Democrat Farmers Laborers Party, I've always despised that name. And it just seems like they're an organized crime family.
- [30:27]
Liz Collin
Yeah, I think a lot of farmers want out of that title. I've heard that before. But yeah, you know, a lot of people have been saying, you know, this anti ICE push in Minnesota has just been a smokescreen for fraud. And you definitely see that. It seems like the people who are messaging the loudest when it comes to getting ICE out of the state do have the most to hide perhaps about their involvement with the fraud. But I will say the feds have made it clear that they have a team of attorneys here working on the fraud case. And you know, these fraud cases are not easy. They do take, you know, quite a bit of time, no matter how obvious. It seems that there are empty daycares and autism centers and whatnot. But I know that there is a lot of. A lot of work involved. But I am hopeful that it seems like there, you know, will be, you know, some sort of justice.
- [31:21]
Rob Carson
People go to jail. I want to see. I want to see. I want to see Keith Ellison go to damn jail. And I want to see you, Ilhan Omar, serve some time in jail, then be booted penniless back to Somalia. That's what I want to see. That's what a lot of people want to see. You know, the other day I saw Jacob Fry whining that, you know, hotel bookings are down and business is down for Somali businesses. And I'm like, who the hell would want to visit Minneapolis right now, really.
- [31:48]
Liz Collin
To help their kids, who really.
- [31:51]
Rob Carson
What is it like? I mean, nobody's got to want to go there. What's the downtown like? The downtown used to be vibrant. Uptown, where I lived at uptown used to be vibrant. Used to. I mean, it was. There are a lot of gauged ears and purple hair, but, I mean, I hear it's a wasteland.
- [32:05]
Liz Collin
Yeah, I'll just say from personal experience, I mean, I do quite a work still. Quite a bit of work still in the Minneapolis area. We're right outside of Minneapolis over at. Over at Alpha News. But, no, the downtown uptown, they are just skeletons of themselves. In fact, the hairdresser that I went to for about 20 years, he was the last to leave uptown. That used to be known as, like, the hair district. And there were dozens of salons there. They are literally all closed. Not very few restaurants that even remain there at all in the uptown area. And downtown really is a. Is a ghost town. I mean, you did have a Target protest, I guess maybe that went ahead and revitalized the area last week as people are harassing shoppers in Target stores. That has also been an ongoing trend.
- [32:55]
Rob Carson
What the hell is up with crazy Karens going to their. The store they shop at? And they think Target has something to do with, you know, rounding up illegals. What kind of sense does that make? If I were Target, I'd leave the damn city, to be quite honest. I mean, they're woke company, but I would leave the Twin Cities.
- [33:12]
Liz Collin
You know, you get the. You get the impression, though, that Target, they did get kind of wrapped up in this woke culture before, and they learned their lesson. This is when they were, you know, selling some. Some crazy undergarments for children and their swimsuits.
- [33:28]
Rob Carson
Swimwear for boys. Yeah. Real smart. Yeah.
- [33:30]
Liz Collin
Yeah. And they. They received quite a bit of backlash for that. And I will say that they seem to be more neutral nowadays, which is why they're being targeted.
- [33:39]
Rob Carson
Targeted. It's. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. Jesse Ventura, I used to compete with him. I worked for Hubbard Broadcasting. He worked on the AM talker and I worked at KS95. He suggested that. That Minnesota secede from the union. I've never been a big fan of the man. I think he's kind of a jerk, to be quite honest, most of the time. But how did people react to that?
- [34:03]
Liz Collin
Yeah, I'm not sure what happened to him. I mean, I've interviewed him several times in my career. He seems very upset. He was at a school recently that had some ice activity and I don't think he spends that much time in Minnesota. But yeah, I think perhaps maybe copious amounts of marijuana have not done well.
- [34:27]
Rob Carson
And steroids. And steroids. Mall of America. I used to love to go to Mall of America and there was Camp Snoopy in the middle of it. Is it Camp Mogadishu now?
- [34:36]
Liz Collin
Yeah, the Mall of America always has a few highlights, no doubt. But yeah, it is a very different state. And people have said that this election is really going to be quite telling. But you know, Rob, better. Better than anyone here. So everybody's thinking, okay, this is going to be great. Walz is, you know, maybe Walz has announced obviously that he's not running. So now we have Amy Klobuchar, who's basically been on scene as long as Tim Walz has been. And her messaging has been a little odd lately as well. Obviously has to embrace the anti ICE movement. But from what we're hearing, she didn't even do that well during the caucus night. That was just on. David Hoek says people want more, you know, want a candidate more to the left of her.
- [35:22]
Rob Carson
Well, David Hoch also said that he's got a lot of dirt on her and her corruption and she knew all about all this nonsense. Do you suppose there's any possibility that, you know, I don't know if what's his name from mypellow is the guy. But is there a possibility that the State House could turn?
- [35:40]
Liz Collin
Yeah, I mean, I think that it seems like the, you know, legislative. The House and Senate, you know, they would hold perhaps. I mean, I don't ever want to predict Minnesota politics, but Amy Klobuchar just has the name recognition and has really been kind of this institution in Minnesota. So that obviously works in her favor. But absolutely, you're right. Just timeline wise, where has she been? There's no way that she wasn't aware of this. And also just the, the, you know, 180 she's taken with her ICE messaging is amazing. She always talked about, you know, keeping the borders closed and deporting illegal aliens before. Not anymore. Very different from even, you know, what she was saying five, six years ago.
- [36:24]
Rob Carson
What do you work by before we wrap things up? Liz Collins, what are you working on right now? What can we look forward to hearing from you?
- [36:30]
Liz Collin
Actually putting up a story today about an isolated drill that took place at the University of Minnesota involving students there. So this is a teacher who thought it was a good idea to teach her students. This is an education course there about how to go about hiding students if ICE were to come to the classroom door and then using your body as a human shield, if you're white, to get in the way of ICE agents. I know you think that I'm making this up, Rob, but that is my next story to post on.
- [37:01]
Rob Carson
Used to be an ice drill was what you drilled through the ice with to go ice fishing in Minnesota?
- [37:06]
Liz Collin
Yeah, yeah. We have active shooter drills, fire drills. And now in Minnesota there are ice drills. But yeah, I don't think the, the University of Minnesota is none too happy to ever hear from reporters over at Alpha News. So we do find though, that a lot of times, you know, when attention is brought on these, these things that there are changes that made. So there's many, there's many brave people and normal people in Minnesota. I just want to get that message across.
- [37:27]
Rob Carson
Where can people find all your glorious work?
- [37:29]
Liz Collin
By the way, head over to AlphaNews.org and also we are Alpha News MN, that's from Minnesota on YouTube. You can check out all our videos there as well. It's an endless supply of material, Rob.
- [37:40]
Rob Carson
All right. You are absolutely glorious. Thank you so much for your time today, Liz. I'm a big admirer. I appreciate you. We'll talk again soon.
- [37:46]
Liz Collin
Okay, sounds good. Thanks so much, Rob.
- [37:48]
Rob Carson
You bet. Let's take a break and come back. It's Rob Carson show. Oh, I've got something next hour. Eric Schmidt goes after this guy with an organization called Public Citizen and it is a George Soros funded ngo. And he. I'll tell you, I have never seen Eric Schmidt go like, I'll give you a little sample. I assembled this before the show because.
- [38:13]
Eric Schmidt
It'S so bloody good and it's not 2020 anymore. The American people are over it. So what you're gonna find is we are going to prosecute, and it has nothing to do with race. We're going to prosecute because fraud was committed on a level that is so offensive to this country. Your words that don't mean anything aren't going to stop what's coming. Listen, and I want you to take that back to George Soros and all these ridiculous funders you have to try to muddle the issue, because justice is coming. And by the way, if I have it my way, we will denaturalize all these fraudsters and send them home.
- [38:44]
David Koch
So run.
- [38:48]
Rob Carson
Tell all the other Kerrs the law is coming. You tell them I'm coming. And hell's coming with me. You hear? Hell's coming with me. There you go. Oh, I love it, man. I want to see. Denaturalize these. These people like Soros. I want to see Soros extradited to America and go up on treason charges. Yeah, 100%. By the way, millions of people are turning into Newsmax. If you haven't watched Newsmax lately, people bugging me about Carl Higby's monologue last night. I hear it's fantastic. Haven't had a chance to see it, but I'm telling you, Newsmax is such a welcome, welcome, welcome change from all of the other news out there. You know, I saw a little bit of Waters last night on Fox. He was all about the abduction of. Of Savannah Guthrie's mom. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not watching tmz. But if you watch Newsmax, you watch Rob Finnerty, Rob Schmidt, Carl Hebe. You are gonna get such good commentary, News, common sense, interviews. They get the best interviews. They get the best stuff out of their guests on Newsmax. You've got to go to Newsmax. I mean it, guys. It's a great organization. I'm proud to be a part of it. I've been working there for six years. So get a Newsmax plus membership. Download the Newsmax app. Make it a place to go, a destination. Every day from morning, noon, to night. Do it. Newsmax kicks. But thank you very much. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
