[Rob Carson]

Hold it now. You are about to hear the most

[Donald Trump]

interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show

[Rob Carson]

in America on air and on the world Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson show. And by the grace of God, it is finally Good Friday.

[Donald Trump]

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise, honoring him as king. They call me king now. Do you believe it? No.

[Rob Carson]

King.

[Donald Trump]

I'm such a king, I can't get a ballroom approved. Pretty amazing. I'm a king. If I was a king, we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That is the line of the week from the President, United States. There will never be another Donald Trump. Oh, thank God. Because he's so Hitler and. No, he's just fantastic. He's a fantastic president. He is the most politically incorrect president. He is the president we sent to. To the deep state to. To take it apart. They tried to take him apart. Take us apart. And look where we are. It's the 250th anniversary of the birth of this great nation, and Washington D. Is D.C. is clean. I went to Georgetown a couple. Georgetown is crowded. It used to be a ghost. Whatever. We're going to rename it Ghost Town, for God's sake. But no, it's amazing. It is absolutely amazing. And it is Good Friday. It is Good Friday. And I, you know, and I don't think it's just my Twitter feed, but all of these glorious gatherings around the world. Gatherings of faith people coming together, of reports of more and more people getting together. Nigeria, they slaughtered Christians Palm Sunday. And yet brave Christians are still out proclaiming their faith. So these are. These are amazing times. The evil is on its heels, but still fighting back. And we've got to drive it right into the pits of hell.

[Opposition Commentator]

This is Happy Trans Day.

[Rob Carson]

This is actually last year. Last year, no, 2024, Joe Biden made Easter the trans day of visibility. Now, apparently just on the date that showed up on the calendar, but it just so happened the very first trans day of visibility was on Easter in 2024.

[Opposition Commentator]

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. And across the country, we are seeing growing attacks on transgender people's rights.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it was all a psyop. That stuff was all a psyop. But it was a slap in the face with regard to faith. Unfortunately, now faith appears to be making a comeback. I do have some good news on this Good Friday. Would you guys like. We love to win.

[Donald Trump]

Winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

Lots of winning.

Lots of winning.

[Quince Advertiser]

Lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

Lots of winning. Lots of win. So you remember when Donald Trump took office and Joe Biden and caused the price of everything to go up dramatically? Do you remember that when Joe Biden was the president, everything was so much more expensive because he printed a lot of money and he. And he increased the size of the federal government 40% so they could loot it, they could take it all, and they could use it fraudulently and whatever they wanted. And consequently, the price of a home doubled when Joe Biden was the president. The price of your mortgage, the interest rate tripled under Joe Biden. The price of eggs went through the ceiling. And when Joe Biden started at the finish his presidency, the price of eggs was $5.90. $5.90. Eggs have dropped 80% to $2.50. So you Democrats can drive by Tesla dealerships and hurl eggs again instead of Molotov cocktails because they're so affordable. They are so affordable. Yeah. The drop has been sharp enough to be felt not just by economists, but retailers, but by parents planning brunch, filling baskets and deciding how many eggs they can afford to die, hide and ine. Now, when I was a kid, are they still dying eggs? I don't even see those egg dying kits anymore. I didn't see it. I mean, mix a little vinegar, a little bit of water, and you have that little bent copper coil that you put the egg in. You dip it in there and it would color the egg and you would draw on it with crayon. And then, of course, it wouldn't. The dye wouldn't fasten that. So you could write names on your eggs and all that. Do they still do that? It Used to be a really big deal. Really big deal. When I was a kid. One time it was. I don't know if it was snowing or whatever in Iowa. We decided to hide those eggs in the house and a lot of them. And we made the mistake of hiding them in furnace vents. So it smelled like somebody died in the house for a very long time. It was not a good day. It was a weird Easter. That was a weird Easter, but there you go. Yeah. Egg prices are way down. Had a great jobs report today. Oh, my God. Isn't that amazing? Gas prices are high because, you see, we're freeing 100 million people from bondage and we're ridding the world of a nuclear threat from Iran. So there's that. It's a small price to pay as far as I'm concerned. I understand it's bloody expensive. You know, it's $4 a gallon. I understand that. But the liberal media wasn't complaining when Joe Biden invited Russia to attack and invade Ukraine and then wrote him a check for $350 billion. A good share of it was actually just stolen, used to buy yachts and whatnot. And of course, the price of gas was even higher then, so there is that. Now it's kind of funny. French, South Korean leaders have decided they are going to work on keeping the Straits of Hormuz open. Isn't that amazing when you have a president, United States Imports, who has some cajones.

[Donald Trump]

Almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait. Yeah. And won't be taking any in the future. We don't need it.

[Rob Carson]

He basically told him the other day. He said, here's the deal. We got plenty of oil right here. If you want oil through the Straits of Hormuza, you depend on it. You're on your own.

[Donald Trump]

We haven't needed it, and we don't need it. We've beaten and completely decimated Iran. Pretty much decimated.

[Rob Carson]

Boom.

[Donald Trump]

Both militarily and economically, every other way. And the countries of the world that do receive oil through the hormone strait must take care of.

[Rob Carson]

Wow, this is kind of strange to see Donald Trump weaning the. The EU off the teat of the United States of America. You know, Isn't it, though? I mean, we waited. Of all the things we've waited forever for. You know, we waited for Iran to fall and the mullahs to be taken out of power. It's still in the process of that. We waited for Cuba. We're still waiting for Cuba, the Communists to fall. We've waited for Things. But we've really waited a very long time for the EU and NATO to stop be slapping us, asking us for help every time they're in dire streets, and then not helping us at all. And now Donald Trump is saying, here's the deal. You're going to have to do it yourself. And there's. There's even a possibility we pull out a NATO.

[Donald Trump]

So to those countries that can't get fuel, many of which refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, we had to do it ourselves.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, we did.

[Donald Trump]

I have a suggestion. Number one, buy oil from the United States of America. We have plenty.

[Rob Carson]

We have a ton of it. Yeah.

[Donald Trump]

And number two, build up some delayed courage. Should have done it before. Should have done it with us as we asked. Go to the strait and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. Tired of having you guys be one of those little sucker fish on the side of the great shark that is the United States. So President. President Emmanuel Macron Fromage and South Kore President Lee Jae Myung agreed Friday to work together to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease global economic uncertainties caused by the war in the Middle East. Their summit in Seoul came as US President Donald Trump slammed allies for not supporting the US And Israel in the war against Iran. And there you go. That's how it works. Isn't that just amazing? Isn't that just amazing? Think of the trillions of dollars that we have given NATO. Think of the tens of thousands of lives we sacrificed to save their butts from, you know, the Nazis and whatnot. All those access, power. Here is Donald Trump at the Easter breakfast two days ago talking about Emile Macron to have some help.

[Donald Trump]

Oh, President, I'm not sure that we could. Oh, that's okay. You don't want to do it? Well, then. Well, if we. Oh, that's okay. You don't have to do it. So he gets off public, says, man, that was easier than I thought. Then I call up France Macaron. His wife treats him extremely badly.

[Rob Carson]

He had to throw that in there. His wife treats him imperial. You know what that is? You know what that is? That is a backhanded smack in his face for his wife beating him up.

[Donald Trump]

Still recovering from the right to the jaw.

[Rob Carson]

To the right to the jaw.

[Donald Trump]

Emmanuel. Yes, we'd love to have some help in the Gulf. Even though we're setting records and knocking out bad people and knocking out ballistic missiles. We'd love to have some help.

[Rob Carson]

Now, what kind of a response you suppose you get from a guy whose wife beats the crap out of him.

[Donald Trump]

Could, could you please send ships immediately? No, no, no. Cannot do that, Donald.

[Rob Carson]

Ho, ho, ho.

[Donald Trump]

We can do that after the war

[Rob Carson]

is won by the fromage.

[Donald Trump]

No, no, I don't need. After the war is won. Many of them said we'll be there after the war is completed.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Nice.

[Donald Trump]

And so I learned about NATO. NATO won't be there if we ever have the big one. You know what I mean by the big one? We ever have the big one, hopefully we won't. Relationships very good with the big one. Better than with NATO.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, absolutely. Better with NATO. But Donald Trump is in charge. Victor Davis, I'm going to save this, actually. I'll save it for the other side of the bridge, the other side of the break. I'm going to say. Victor Davis Hansen, Gravy, great summation of the five week war as of tomorrow. Five weeks to wipe out the the Iranian military basically wholesale, send all of their navy to the bottom of the ocean, get rid of most of their missile capacity for manufacturing and the existing stockpiles of them and also their ability to make nuclear weapons. The whole deal. Five weeks. Five weeks. If it were anybody else taking on Iran, it would be the first five weeks in a campaign that would last years, years and years and years. But Donald Trump did it in five weeks. Five weeks, which is about the shortest war I think we've ever been involved in. Grenada, I guess really not as, not even close to what this, this is a big, big deal. He said war. Yeah, whatever. It's a military action, whatever. But five weeks and it's amazing. So he's got that coming up. Also, Kamala Harris, she was all doom and gloom and of course, completely wrong about this before Donald Trump's speech to the nation a couple nights ago. We have all of that on cast of the Unusual Suspects on the show today. Tony Kennett from the Daily Signal will join us at the bottom of the hour. I got a ton of stuff to talk to him about.

[Rob Carson]

It is a Friday edition of the show. Tony Kenneth joins us at the bottom of the hour talking about a bunch of stuff. This is a headline here. Golden Era March payroll growth 18 times larger than the economy needs. The U.S. economy added 178,000 workers in payrolls in March, the Bureau of labor statistics reported finalized three times the consensus forecast to 59,000 and a sharp reversal from February's revised decline of $133,000, which was dragged down by a large health care strike. So the economy is kicking butt. The gas price, of course, went up because, you know, we are freeing a whole lot of people around the world in Iran and whatnot and eliminating the fear of terror created by Iran and its proxies. So there's that. So that's why the gas prices are up a little bit. Egg prices are down 85%. That's fantastic. That's Fant and Victor Davis Hanson, who is, you know, my sensei, my guide. He's incredible. Here he is with a brilliant, I guess, summation of what we've done because, you know, the Democrat Party on day one started saying it was a failure. Chris Murphy, the day we vaporized the first ayatollah, the day we did that, he said that it was a disaster. And then the Democrats recognized this was going to be something that would really bite them in the rear ends if Donald Trump was successful in bringing freedom, freedom back to the to the country of Iran and ridding the world of the nuclear and terrorism menace of Iran, because that's where it's all being fed from. The tentacles are out there. Hamas, Hezbollah, all of these proxies are from Iran. And the Democrat Party recognizes that Donald Trump cures that. They're screwed. They did the same thing after 911 when George Bush sent troops into Iraq and whatnot, a misguided thing. But the Democrats declared that we lost while we were there almost immediately this time it happened in lightning speed. It actually they had it ready to go. The day that it started, they had it ready to go. They're wanting to say that it was a complete failure and it wasn't. It's been the most successful military campaign, the largest scale military campaign, overwhelming success, with the least number of fatalities and casualties in pretty much world history.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

Victor Davis Hansen I mean, this is an Orwellian situation, Jesse. We've never had a war against a country of 93 million people where one side completely devastated its ability to make war in four weeks. And it's tragic, we lost 13, but we haven't lost casualties, fatalities in four weeks. And basically, have you ever heard of a war where one side predicts what he's going to do each day? We're going to do take out this bridge, we're going to do this and then they do it and it's, yeah, it's not.

[Rob Carson]

We're going to try, you know, we're going to see if we can do it's here's what we're going to do today.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

And then boom, complete dominance. Why the left and the Europeans are saying it's a disaster and it's not. He's working for the Venezuela solution. He's saying to the Iranians, to the speaker of the parliament, there has to be some of you that are associated with this wretched regime that don't want to be for your own survival. And we're going to talk to you on back channels. And that's what he's doing. As far as the rest of you, who are the hardliners, the Israelis are taking care of you every day and that creates a lot of dissension. So you've got three poles of action. You've got the people who are restive who are starting to get really upset because they're almost starving. And then you've got some people who are realists that said maybe we can deal with Trump and he won't, he'll stop it. And then we've got these theocrats that are not going to be around very long.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Absolutely, 100%. This is history. This is something that I've preyed on, thought about most of my adult life. I was a kid when the ayatollah took over in Iran. I didn't know what the Ayatollah was. All I knew is that darkness swept in. And we've had 47 years of terror ever since. Here's Kamala Harris. As usual, wrong about everything earlier in the week.

[Opposition Commentator]

Hey, everyone. So I'm not going to be able to watch the president's address tonight, but here's the thing.

[Rob Carson]

No, you're choosing not to watch it because you're, you know, you're something I can't say on the radio.

[Opposition Commentator]

He brought America into a war that people do not want. And I bet you I did, actually.

[Rob Carson]

I wanted. I wanted it. I predicted it, actually, when he was

[Opposition Commentator]

running for president, gonna try and claim victory tonight. But the reality is we're watching what he does instead of listening to what he says.

[Donald Trump]

World War II lasted for 3 years, 8 months, and 25 days. The Vietnam War lasted for 19 years. 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days. Iraq went on for 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days. We are in this military operation so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful countries for 32 days.

[Rob Carson]

32 days. And the cool thing is, in Iran, or I should say in Vietnam, in Korea, you know, my brothers, if you were involved in those, there was no victory there. There was no. There was no sign that you had won. There was no congratulations. There were no tick or tape parade for you when you came home. And you guys who were involved in Afghanistan, 20 years in Afghanistan, 20 years. And then Joe Biden just unceremoniously removed the forces, left them all the weapons, and gave it back to the Taliban like it was September 10th. That's what is so wonderful about this. Jesse Waters last night was talking about what Iran could have become, what it could have become. It could have become North Korea. And North Korea was allowed to become a nuclear power by a Democrat.

[Political Analyst]

One White House source told Politico, Quote, it's like these mother effers always talk about Article 5. Okay, well, Iran has been blowing up our soldiers and ripping their wings off for, you know, half a century. And we finally responded, and now they're going after all our major non NATO allies in the United States. And you guys are saying not only you're not going to help, but you're closing your airspace to us. Really? Iran was transitioning into North Korea. Bill Clinton had the chance to bomb Pyongyang's nuclear reactors in the 90s, but he backed off and he sent Jimmy Carter to negotiate.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God.

[Political Analyst]

They toyed around with Jimmy and then it was too late. Surprise, surprise, North Korea got a nuke.

[Rob Carson]

Remember when they. They sent Madeline Albright over there and gave Kim Jung eel? Is it eel or un? Un is now ill. Was then, but then Eel got ill and died. And so un took over. She gave him a Michael Jordan autograph. Basketball. Yeah, yeah, there you go. And somebody stole it and they cooked it and ate it because they have nothing to eat over there. They just wanted the cowhide because they have nothing to eat over there. But, yeah, this is historic. This is glorious. And if you are a veteran or if you're an active duty military member, you should be so proud. You should be so proud of your family member or wife or husband of a military member right now, or maybe your dad is in the army or whatever. You should be so proud of what they've done and what a great year this is going to be, the 250th anniversary of our country. There's a reason why Donald Trump is the president now after, you know, four years of persecution, trying to get him off the ballot, trying to get him in jail, put him in jail for life, trying to take his fortune, then trying to murder him twice, impeach him twice, raid Mar a Lago, first time in history. And he's here. There's a reason being. There's a reason being. And this is Good Friday, by the way, my trip for you guys, October 25th through the 29th here to Washington, D.C. you might want to get on that if you want to come and join me because I'd love to have you here, show you around. I'm going to take a few days off to hang out with you. Visit travelwithrob.net to book your DC getaway. You'll get a brochure. They'll show you. When you see it, you're go. Holy crap. So talk it over with your Sig this weekend. You go by yourself. I don't care. But we're going to go see the White House Visitors Center. We're going to go tour the U.S. capitol building. We're going to go to Arlington National Cemetery, see the changing of the guard, stand in awe before the towering figure of Abraham Lincoln. Stand before the Washington Monument. I never stop getting goosebumps when I see all of these things. And I live here. This is probably the trip of a lifetime for many of you, and this is the time to make that trip because we're only going to have one 250th anniversary. And this is Donald terms Trump's last term in office. And we got him here. And I came here for you. Now you come and meet me this fall, okay? October 25th through the 29th, five days, four nights. It's going to be awesome. Travelwithrob.net or 800-3833-1318-0038-3311. The one and only Tony Kennett Daily Signal joins us next as one of our unusual suspects. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed.

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.

[Pam Bondi Supporter]

As President Trump said today, the attorney general made our country safe again. And she, she is a friend and she did a great job in the first year of this administration. And people should not forget what the Department of Justice that she came into just over a year ago. And so we are a better Justice Department. We are safer as a nation. And we should all be very grateful to the attorney general for her sacrifice for this country and for what she did.

[Rob Carson]

Here I go light the fuse again for Tony Kennett. That's what I just did is lit the fuse right there. Tony Kennett from the Daily Signal also does a glorious Pod works at WIBC radio in, in lovely Indianapolis, Indiana. Pam Bondi is out. What do you think?

Well, first of all, a very blessed good Friday to you and your wife. Very, very much so. But on that side, I'll, I'm gonna surprise you.

What?

I'm not exactly as much of a lit fuse here. Obviously you knew that I'd called, you know, Christy Noeman Bondi being out before the end of the year. We're not even out of April. We're just into it. And I am, I am happy that she's gone because not maybe for the same reasons that maybe others, you know, wanted, you know, arrests here, there and everywhere. Yes, I believe that one of the biggest, all unchanged to the Trump administration are when other people in the Trump orbit try to act like Trump and instead of communicating in the same way that the man does in substance, they try to be as boisterous or like, as entertaining or as punch back as the president in doing so. You get into these committees, whether it's Kristi Noem or Pam Bondi, and it's taken the earrings out for a fight at the Waffle House. Americans don't like that. They're not impressed.

Yeah.

Also don't over promise and under deliver. And rule number three, don't speak for Trump. We said that with Noam and Pam Bondi couldn't resist. She may have leaked details on the Swalwell Fang Fang stuff, which Trump said, we don't need that right now. Hey, I mean, why did she do that?

Why? Why did she do that? Why would she do that? I, I understand. I guess she's tight with him somehow. I mean, he's such a scumbag piece of crap. Why would she have anything to do with him at all?

So it's not clear to me. Maybe you know more about this so far than I do. All I've seen on this is the couple of reports that include the Daily Mails kind of insider ish suggestions and sometimes it's a hit with them, sometimes it's of a matter miss. But supposedly she had leaked some matter of details on this investigation. I don't know if it was to him specifically or if it was to the general media to kind of make much ado about this particular case, to try to get maybe a pat on the back or say, hey, look, we're doing something. But that's not right. I don't, I don't care for that. Kristi Noem did this as well. Like sharing details from the inside with the media, because no one's giving you enough attention. You never see Tulsi Gabbard doing this. Folks, I'm just gonna level with you now.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

The.

[Rob Carson]

CNN is saying that Donald Trump is letting these people go because they're women. Which begs the question, question, why were they given the positions in the first place?

Is that really what CNN's trying to find?

Oh, dude, hold on, hold on. Let me find the sound bite here. I got it. You got it, you got it. It's just hilarious. They are, of course, immediately, dude, they immediately go, here it is. This is, this is CNN something you

[CNN Commentator]

said, which is that he's ousted two female secretaries at this point. And do you think he has a lower tolerance for women or do you think that he, it just so happens that he is seeing, and it's coincidental that he sees female secretaries not maybe serving his purposes as much. Perhaps you think there is a male secretary who actually should be the one who he should be targeting at this point. Do you think he is some clown?

[Rob Carson]

I know this guy looks like an old timey bartender at a Western. Yes I do. You know, he doesn't have the respect or, or, or the, or the admiration

[Pete Hegseth]

for women that you would expect.

[Rob Carson]

Are you kidding me? Susie Wiles, anybody? I mean please give me a friggin. I mean honestly, honestly look at our, look at our, our Agriculture Secretary for guys sick. I mean honestly, this is all they have.

Do we not remember that the first person that Trump threw out, first of all his first administration was throwing guys out left and right. Now into this administration, Mike Walsh was the national Security advisor and Trump threw him away. Now again, I know that in today's day and age you can't necessarily say hey look at that guy, that's clearly a dude. I hear you, but in this case, no, I'm sorry, the President of the United States has thrown out individuals consistently, regardless of gender. But I'm also going to level with you. First of all, I don't care. Number two, you know what if you are podium Barbie and I said this before Fetterman said it, I said this back in the day when I got crap for it. Yes, if you want to be little Miss Emotional, get out of the administration. I like Susie Wiles, I like secretary Linda McMahon. I like Brooke Rollins, who you mentioned Tulsi Gafford as well. When you have ladies who actually put the substance of their service instead of. Tulsi Gabbard went into the congressional committee and she was yelled at, screamed at, interrupted, cut off. She sat there, her back straight in the chair and she just said one word answers. Quiet, calm. And it made the congressperson look like a fool.

Absolutely 100%.

You don't agree with me. I don't know what to tell you.

Did you. This is a headline from right by this morning. Brian Noem paid $25aminute to be dominated with dirty talk.

I mean I can do that by turning on Ms. Now anytime I want.

What the heck is. I mean this comes out of nowhere. We find out that he liked to dress up like a voluptuous, you know, with Fake boobs and everything. That was his thing. And he paid women tens, like tens of thousands of dollars of all the things you could find out about someone. And remarkably fortuitous that we got her out of the administration when this popped up. Up. But, my God, I'm going to say

something that's a little unpopular here, but you know that. Exactly. You know.

Yes.

I would argue that Kristi Noem shares as much fault in this as Brian. And the reason I would say so is that they had a marriage for quite a while before. When people get so wrapped up in their careers that they abandon their marriage and they start screwing around, literally, you do see a major psychological collapse oftentimes in the spouse that is documented. That is not hearsay. And so I'd say that when Kristi Noema is running around with Corey Lewandowski, it looks like this man spiraled into one of these weird, hyper, online fetish slip and flies, and he went from sane to insane in no time flat.

[Donald Trump]

Wow.

[Rob Carson]

I was married for 28 years. I never, never even had the remotest desire to want to dress in women's clothes. One night, one night, my wife wanted to put makeup on me just to see what it looked like. And I said no would be because.

Rob, my dear friend, that is because you were the individual who was invested heartily in the marriage. I'm going to stick up for you.

Swimming upstream. Hey, let me ask you this. Who do you want? Who do you want to replace Bondi? I'm not so convinced about Blanche. I've heard some things. He's not. He's not. I don't know. As I think Trumpian, as we'd like. I. I wanted Mike Davis. I wrote Mike Davis yesterday. I don't think he'd pass, but damn, would he be great.

He's already come out. Mike Davis has already said, and I quot quote, hell, period. No, period.

That's why I didn't get a text back. Oh, my God. Would he be great, though? Would he be great? Oh, for sure.

Look, there's a couple of really great people here. Harmy Dylan is obviously top 10.

Yes. Yes.

Not just because, you know, we're friends, but. No, you know, but seriously, she'd make a phenomenal, phenomenal ap. I think that you actually are likely to see Lisa Sheldon. That man has spent his entire career arguing against two groups. Number one, the corporate creepy loophole lawyers, and then on the other side, the super crazy leftist climate change lawyers. So, like, those kinds of crazy and awful. Yeah, he fights them without acting like a loon. I'm telling you. I think that Lee Zeldin might end up after here pretty soon, stepping down from EPA and moving over to a well.

He's done a friggin phenomenal job in charge of the epa. Now got a lot more stuff going on. But Pete Hegseth is going to allow military members to carry their guns when they're off duty. I know, it kind of makes sense, don't it? That and also why are all these NASA officials being murdered or kidnapped as we're on the cusp of finding space aliens? I'm not sure if Tony's the one I want to talk to about this because he acts kind of like a space alien. Anyway, we're going to cover that. On the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson.

[Donald Trump]

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him praise honoring him as king. They call me king now. Do you believe it? No. King.

[Rob Carson]

King.

[Donald Trump]

I'm such a king. I can't get a ballroom approved.

[Rob Carson]

That is the line of the year. That's his line of the year. What an amazing this guy. There's never going to be another Donald Trump in office. There's never been somebody like Donald Trump in office and nobody can improvise like Donald Trump. Tony Kennett from Daily Signal. That line is just, I played it probably a dozen times on the air in the last two days.

Oh Yeah, I mean, again, the key sign for me that Trump was going to deliver a speech or like an address to the nation. That was a good address to the nation was that right before he did so he got up in front of people and he was a little self deprecated. Little self deprecating?

Yeah.

He's like, I'm gonna give a speech. It's gonna be about how great I am. And everyone laughed and I was like, there you go. Every time he does that, it ends up being an out of the park speech. And again, 18 minutes and 30 seconds. The man did a stellar job.

Oh, you just kind of like. Kind of like you there. Did we lose you?

No, I'm here. No, I'm here.

Okay, you kind of faded out there. The last couple of words of your sentence were cut off there. I don't know what the deal is, but anyway, this is Pete Hegseth talking about giving. Letting gun military members carry guns when they're off duty. Let me find the. Here it is. Hold on one second. And it doesn't want to play. Hold on one second. Here it is.

[Pete Hegseth]

Highest and unwavering standards. These war fighters entrusted with the safety of our nation are no less entitled to exercise their God given right to keep and bear arms than any other American. Our war fighters defend the right of others to carry. They should be able to carry themselves.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, 100%. You know what? I never. It never made sense to me that our war fighters couldn't carry when they're on base. That that happened during the Biden administration. Couldn't carry when you're on base. What the hell kind of sense does that make sense?

I mean, it sounds kind of like you believe the guns are the problem instead of the crazy Islamic radicals that are allowed to wander around Fort Hood. I mean, you know, if we're going to level here.

Yes.

I think that American troops would be far better at defending those who attempt to commit violent terrorist acts against our troops on base here. Because every time there's a gun free zone posted, it's essentially a come loot me sign after a hurricane.

100%. 100%. I love the fact that you never see liquor stores that say gun free zone. You ever notice that?

Oh, it's a very, very good point.

Right. Never seen a liquor store? No, no, of course not. Because it's the dumbest thing in the world to say because it says that, A, we can't defend ourselves and B, you can do anything you freaking want until the police arrive and it'll be too late. That's the kind of stupidity that we see. Hegseth is ousting a lot of generals. I think this sounds like a good thing. I was talking to Blaine Holt yesterday about this, and he's thrilled about Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff, stepping down and several others. It sounds like he's finally beginning to gut the. The monstrous bureaucracy of the. And crooked bureaucracy of the Pentagon.

Yeah. There's a general under him who had spent a good amount of time ruining our training programs in the army and essentially removing a lot of physical standards, removing a lot of. Essentially kind of floating it by on the gender nonsense. And a lot of guys didn't necessarily care, at least as far as some of these brass are concerned, who spent more time in a rolling chair than actually out among men, you know, out amongst battalions, actually providing inspiration and actually meeting the standards that they're supposed to be setting.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm so proud of what our troops have done. And I mentioned earlier in the show, I opened with the fact that, you know, the. Chris Murphy, on day one, when we vaporized the Ayatollah and then made the other one into a cardboard cutout, they said that we failed. The Democrat Party has floated this. We're failing. We're in a. We're in a quagmire, which is. Is just so utterly ridiculous. And at this point, really is undeniable. What we've done, no matter what the. The leftist media tries to portray.

I mean, again, are you surprised?

[Victor Davis Hanson]

No.

[Rob Carson]

Are you surprised? I mean, I'm not surprised. Are you surprised?

No. No, not anymore. You know, I remember when we used to get behind our troops. You were. You were a very young person when. When Operation Desert Storm happened, and we were 100% behind our troops, even though at that point we didn't know that the mission was.

[Donald Trump]

Was.

[Rob Carson]

Should never have happened. You know, but this time, Donald Trump asked his generals, can we do this? And how long is it going to take? We can do this, sir. Four to six weeks.

Boom.

And look what happens.

And in a way that I believe that will bear an incredible amount of fruit for not just the administration, which is what a lot of people frame it as, but it will be a major success and victory for both the American people and for the world. It is an amazingly humanitarian thing to do when one removes a core source of evil, raping, pillaging, and slaughter.

Yeah. And the tentacles spread out to different groups. Hamas, Hezbollah, among others. I mean, we were on the cusp of what I believe, and I've said that I believe that A wave of faith, patriotism and joy is circling the globe. And I can feel it. Tony, I don't know about you. I know you're a man of faith, but on this Good Friday, I can feel it. I see it. I see it. You know, last in. In Nigeria last Sunday, they slaughtered Christians and yet they still came out in Massachusetts Mass to. To pray. And I can just feel it. Tony, what do you think? I know that we've got evil on its heels, but it's still fighting us tooth and nail. What do you think?

I do think that when you actually start to get momentum, you should expect a series of waves. And the waves, as you start to gain momentum, trying to hit you harder and harder and harder just to try to push you away from where it is that you're aiming is a sign that you are headed in the right direction.

Yes, sir.

And I think that with that comes a revivification of the American speed. And that's why I'm not doom and gloom. And I mean, poor James Carville is just cracking and half.

He really is. He's absolutely insane. His caregiver should talk to him. You know, I said we've gotta. We've gotta spread joy, patriotism and faith. We gotta overwhelm the left with all of those things. I'll handle the mockery, ridicule and satire and let Donald Trump handle the butt kicking. And there are days that we do get down, but then there are days like today, we wake up and we go, it is Good Friday. It is real, really Good Friday. And I think this Easter is going to be very special.

Absolutely. Pray for our country. Pray for the downed pilots from the F15 in Iran. Still getting information on that. And hopefully we get word there recovered very soon.

And don't let the kids hide Easter eggs in the house. Don't. Don't do that. If they're real eggs, don't do that. Tony, I know you're a young father. Just take my advice.

We have an ace in the hole. There, there.

All right, good. Hey, brother, thanks for joining me. To tell everybody where they can find your awesome podcast.
