You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny.
- [02:13]
A
Show in America on air and on the World Wide web. This is the Rob Carson Show.
- [02:21]
B
This is The Rob Carson show, hour number two of the radio program, the only conservative talk show in America, does more than just opinion. We like to entertain people, we like to inform people, we like to have satire, things like that, because very few people can do it. That's just the way I do it, guys. So we, we like to kind of, you know, do a little bit of entertainment, do a little of information, leading edge opinion. And then I believe that anyone say that my opinions are leading edge opinions. We are ahead of the curve on a lot of stuff and for a number of reasons. I do a lot of show prep, I have a lot of life experience and I have a lot of common sense. So there you go. There you go. A lot of stuff going on. Donald Trump had a great speech last night and of course, the, the media is doing its level best to whiz on it. We find out today that inflation came in less than had been anticipated because with Donald Trump, whenever, you know, inflation is being predicted, they predicted high, it comes in low. Whenever with Joe Biden, they predicted low, it comes in high or whatever. And they do the opposite. But it was a great inflation report today on the heels of everybod yelling at Donald Trump, saying it's not affordable, things aren't affordable. The reason why things aren't affordable is because Joe Biden made them unaffordable. Inflation is never zero. Inflation is never zero. So of course, when Donald Trump took office, he, he was going to incur some inflation. The problem is all of the prices raised 20, 30, 40, 50% when Joe Biden was the president. And so that's not on Donald Trump. And if you watch any metric or any graph, watching the inflation rate going up during Joe Biden, you would know that. And the Democrats know that too. And I told you that the good news is going to get so overwhelming that it will be able to drown out their lies. And everybody's saying, oh, yeah, you know, the Democrats are going to meet the midterms. How are they going to win the midterms? You got a combination of an unbelievable economy, the greatest tax cuts we've ever seen, the greatest business environment ever seen, $18 trillion coming to the United States, manufacturing returning to the United States after Barack Obama said he had no magic wand, it would never come back, closing the southern border, deporting illegal aliens. And you don't think the economy is going to do well? You don't think cutting regulation, you don't think cutting taxes is going to help the economy. Are you out of your nut? Are you out of Your friggin mind. And the Democrat Party knows that. So that's why they're throwing everything at Donald Trump to see if something sticks. Where's Rob Reiner? Where's Rob Reiner? Two days ago, Donald Trump was over because he criticized Rob Reiner postmortem. Oh, it's not there anymore. Oh my God. Where's Pete Hegset as a war criminal? Nobody cares. Everybody knows Donald Trump has the right to blow those drug boats out of the water. And everybody loves it. Everybody loves it. Democrats are sending out their, their forces to interrupt ICE raids. But most Americans look at the ICE raids and go, look, they got another one. Hell yeah. This is what we want to see. We want to see the ICE kicking ass and taking names and getting people out of here who don't belong here. That's it. And if you don't believe me, look at the approval rating of the Democrat party right now. 55 points underwater. With independence, 61 points underwater. You think they're going to win the midterms? You're high. Here's a little bit more from Trump.
- [05:46]
A
Last night I was elected in a landslide, winning the popular vote and all seven swing states and everything else with a mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system. That extra really just took the wealth from people and crushed the dreams of the American people.
- [06:06]
B
For the last four years. It was really hard. The last four years. You wouldn't know that if you lived in Washington D.C. united States was ruled.
- [06:14]
A
By politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists, and above all, foreign nations which took advantage of us at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens, they decimated your hard earned savings, they indoctrinated your children.
- [06:37]
B
And every day you had to sit and watch the southern border with people streaming across the border, our border by millions, with people camping out under that bridge in Texas, coming across the border in chains. And you're going, human chains, hands held. That's what I mean. And we were screaming, shut the border. And they would say, it's not open, and all this. We had to suffer through that. You think we're going anywhere in 2026.
- [07:02]
A
With hate for America released? Really? I mean, they just released a level of violent felons that we had never seen to prey on innocent. They caused war, they caused mayhem, they caused a horrible situation all over the globe. But now you have a president who fights for the law abiding, hardworking people of our country, the ones who make this nation run, who make this nation work. And after just one year, we have achieved more than anyone could have imagined.
- [07:34]
B
Absolutely, 100%. And no matter how much they caterwaul, no matter how much they look for the next big thing, it won't be able to cover up the good news that's happening and is coming. And I'll just tell you, I will be right about this. Yeah. Not mean to sound arrogant, but just this is how it works. Anybody with a modicum of common sense would know. But tell that to NBC's Peter Alexander.
- [08:00]
A
To be very clear, what you just heard from the President Trump tonight from the White House was indistinguishable in many ways from what you hear on the trail in the form of a political rally.
- [08:10]
B
Except he had the sort of cheery.
- [08:12]
A
Greenery here behind him.
- [08:14]
B
Yeah. That was the only difference. The cheery greenery thing, fundamentally what the.
- [08:17]
A
President did was with the sort of brisk pace and that intense energy is again, lay out a series a lot of his grievances, many false.
- [08:26]
B
Yeah. Because the country was in a, in the crapper when he became the president.
- [08:31]
A
In the course of it. And again, repeatedly, he blamed right out of the gates his predecessor, Joe Biden.
- [08:37]
B
Because it's Joe Biden's fault. There's no doubt about it whatsoever. Barack Obama blamed George Bush for eight years. Shut up. Honestly. Wow. This is one of the many reasons why NBC is dead. NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, all dead. All dead. All dead. MSNBC, MS, now miss. Now, if you're just going to be contrarian with Donald Trump as the, as the country moves forward and as we, as we win and as he spreads peace through the world, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. If you're just going to do that, you're going to be left in the dustbin of history. That's it. Judge Jeanine was talking last night about Donald Trump because Donald Trump brought in the National Guard, the, the police, the chief of Police in Washington, D.C. threatened, lied, told police officers, those under her, to lie about crime stats. They said that violent crime, all crime, was down 27%. It was actually up 2%. That's a 29% difference. They lied. Washington, D.C. was a crap hole. When Donald Trump got here. It was a mess. There were homeless encampments across from Union Station. You didn't want to go to Union Station. Union Station was a ghost town. The only thing you went there for was you get dropped off in front of Union Station, run in and get on your train. That's it. Right now, it is spotless Adams Morgan is spotless. The neighborhoods around here are spotless. The graffiti is gone. The homeless encampments are gone. But they lied to you to try to convince you that it was safe, and it was much to your peril. To be quite honest. Here is Judge Jeanine I think that.
- [10:13]
A
There certainly was an effort to, you know, misclassify, mischaracterize certain categories of crime. And it was an attempt to make crime look lower than it was. And the investigation that we conducted over a period of several months based upon the report of the deflation of numbers, was very thorough. As you indicated, over 6,000 reports were looked at, over 50 witnesses, and those witnesses were rank and file.
- [10:39]
B
I'll bet you $10 the same thing.
- [10:41]
A
Is happening in Chicago from the top down. But the bottom line here, any Democrats.
- [10:47]
B
Any city who says after defunding the police and all of that, that their crime is down, you know they're lying, is this.
- [10:54]
A
Now we're in a situation with President Trump and the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, where every case is being looked at, every case is being reviewed by my office. So if it appears that the crime is. The arrest is lower than show, we're going to upgrade that crime. And you know, Dana, what's amazing to me is that the U.S. attorney before me in the, in the Biden administration did not go forward with more than 65% of the arrests. That means that even if police made arrests, they weren't being prosecuted.
- [11:26]
B
Yeah. This is why they're releasing so many criminals. Honestly, the Democrat Party, is there any wonder why their approval rating is in the absolute crapper? I mean, honestly. Wow. Just. Just wow. I want to mention this. The House passed a bill to prosecute doctors and parents for sex changes for children, with three Democrats joining Republicans, four Republicans voting against the mutilation, the sexual mutilation, the mutilation of children, condemning them to a life as a sexless eunuch. That happened. That happened in our country. And here's a. Here's a couple of Karen's. The Democrat Party, the insane crazy cat lady, Karen's of the Democrat Party, Rebecca Ballant of Vermont.
- [12:11]
A
Even for Republicans, this is extreme. Are we really attempting.
- [12:16]
B
No. What's extreme is a little boy having his penis cut off and being put on puberty blockers to convince him he's.
- [12:22]
A
A girl to lock up. Parents and doctors. You're.
- [12:25]
B
Yeah, I think doctors who did this, I think they should lose funding children's hospitals. Who did this? You should be bloody ashamed.
- [12:32]
A
Kids medical care is none of their damn business.
- [12:36]
B
Not medical Care like abortion isn't medical care.
- [12:39]
A
We should call this obsession with your kids and what treatment they're getting in the pediatrician's office what it is, it's creepy. It's a creepy.
- [12:50]
B
No. What creepy is is saying, hey, I'm going to give you the name of the opposite gender. We're going to let you, you know, claim to be the opposite sex, but it's just between you and me. Don't tell mommy and daddy. That's cre session and we've had to.
- [13:05]
A
Deal with it for years. The science is clear.
- [13:08]
B
No, it's not. Unless the guy in charge of the science is Joseph Mingela.
- [13:14]
A
Evidence based, medically necessary care for trans.
- [13:16]
B
It is not medically necessary.
- [13:19]
A
Gender youth is safe. It's effective. It's supported by every major medical.
- [13:24]
B
You are absolutely high association in the.
- [13:26]
A
United States, including the American Medical association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- [13:31]
B
Yeah. Both of whom have been prostituted. I'll just say prostituted. Here's another one of these insane Karens. Susan Bonamici of Oregon.
- [13:40]
A
Every parent wants what's best for their children. And as a parent, I cannot imagine.
- [13:45]
B
Oh my God, you had children.
- [13:46]
A
How I would feel if a doctor told me that Republicans in Congress banned life saving.
- [13:51]
B
Evidence based. It's not life saving. The only reason they say that is because your kid who's who's mentally ill says, if you don't let me change genders, I'm gonna kill myself.
- [14:04]
A
Care that would help my child. Medical care for transgender youth is safe and affected and supported by major medical associations. Access to transgender related.
- [14:13]
B
There's going to be a point where we look back at this moment in history for the horror that was committed. Those who are made to believe absurdities will commit atrocities. This is a prime example. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This Rob Carson Show. Just a quick bit of bad news. A private jet owned by NASCAR driver Greg Biffle has crashed and exploded outside of Statesville, North Carolina. Unconfirmed reports say that he and his family may have been on the on board. Oh, my God. Sorry about that. It just. It's a breaking news story. Wow. Just unbelievable. Anyway, welcome to the show. Coming up, Luke Ball. Luke Ball is going to talk to us at the bottom of the hour. Donald Trump last night mentioned some of the absolute corruption the Democrat party When Joe Biden passed the massive spending bill during COVID increasing the size of the federal government by 40%. It became a giant looting of our treasury.
- [15:20]
A
In the end, government either serves the productive, patriotic, hardworking American citizen or it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation.
- [15:34]
B
Yeah, they did.
- [15:35]
A
Look at Minnesota, where Somalians have taken over the economics of the state and have stolen billions and billions of dollars from Minnesota and indeed from the United States of America.
- [15:46]
B
Oh yeah, it was big and it's getting bigger. This is Jim Comer talking about how big it is and how broad it is.
- [15:53]
A
It does appear that this is a very organized scheme in multiple states with groups of Somalis. I would go out on a limb and say that. I would say this is happening in other states with other social programs, with other groups. There's massive amounts of fraud in our social programs, whether they be snap, whether they be housing programs, whether it be.
- [16:17]
B
Medicaid and whether it be NGOs in the border.
- [16:21]
A
We don't have the funds in Washington to continue to throw money at these social programs and not provide any oversight. So hopefully now with the whistleblowers that are coming forward in Minnesota, with the whistleblower that you've identified and made, hopefully now we can start putting the pieces together.
- [16:38]
B
Now which, which departments are we talking about? Is it just one? No, no. It's all across the board.
- [16:42]
A
There are massive amounts of fraud in Medicaid, in Medicare.
- [16:45]
B
Yeah.
- [16:46]
A
And this isn't just fraud by Obamacare, by people who are receiving these benefits who are ineligible. And if you're an illegal, you're ineligible to receive these benefits. But it's also by providers. Medical providers are using AI technology to over bill Medicare and Medicaid. That's a massive amount of fraud. You've got people who are receiving SNAP benefits who are ineligible. There are people in my home state of Kentucky receiving Medicaid who are ineligible.
- [17:15]
B
Yeah, yeah. It's just been a wholesale looting, just like they, they gave thumbs up to in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles. Go in and steal a thousand bucks worth of stuff. You deserve it. That's what they did. That's what they did. This is Ilhan Omar's congressional opponent. I want you to listen this real careful. I had a presser yesterday about Ilhan Omar. And by the way, you can see Ilhan Omar, she is feeling the heat. She is feeling the heat. And I don't think she's long for this country.
- [17:41]
A
We called together this press conference in.
- [17:43]
B
The wake of yesterday's article in the Minnesota Reformer about my opponent, Representative Omar. She paid her husband, Tim Minette, $3 million of campaign money. Wow. And way she paid her husband $3 million in campaign money. Her time in office has given his business access and credibility as they've misappropriated more than $1 million. Wow. In money from South Dakota investors. Yeah. She's suddenly worth $30 billion because of her husband's winery.
- [18:18]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [18:18]
B
That's tied in here. They left workers unpaid and found the funds frozen by the Office of Foreign Assets. What control the U.S. treasury Department in charge of enforcing sanctions. Unfortunately, this story is just the latest scandal in a string of new stories about Representative Omar that narrow the focus.
- [18:48]
A
On her and bring us further from.
- [18:52]
B
The type of progress our district and our country needs around issues that affect the lives of our neighbors.
- [19:00]
A
Representative Omar has used her time, her.
- [19:04]
B
Three terms in Congress, what many would consider the opportunity and honor of a lifetime to divide our community and enrich herself. Yeah. Big time. Big time, Big time. But she says that Somalis are entrepreneurs.
- [19:19]
A
Oh, we are doctors, we are teachers. We are entrepreneurs.
- [19:25]
B
How's that possible when 85% of them in Minneapolis are on. On some sort of public dole?
- [19:31]
A
And we are elected representatives of our state? And so there's these vile comments and this sort of creepy obsession that. Not that he has on me. And Somali Americans really is dangerous.
- [19:46]
B
Now here is Michael Knowles talking about the Somali population that have largely come here since 1990. They were not here during the American Revolution. They were not here during the industrial Revolution.
- [19:57]
A
When Somalis began arriving in the 1990s and 2000s. They built mosques and Islamic centers and Quranic schools. They opened halal shops and grocery stores that sent remittances back to Somalia. Beyond these legal or at least semi legal businesses, a major source of remittances to Somalia has been the American taxpayer.
- [20:21]
B
Yeah.
- [20:21]
A
Because the most impressive institution that Somalis have built in the United States.
- [20:26]
B
What's that?
- [20:26]
A
Is the kind of community group that perpetrated one of the most expansive cases of welfare fraud in American history. Thanks to reporting by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo at City Journal, we now know that Somali criminals stole billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars during just a single gubernatorial administration in Minnesota alone. Much of that money went straight back to Somalia.
- [20:49]
B
Yeah.
- [20:49]
A
With at least some of it ending up in the hands of the Islamic terrorist group. According to a 2024 report.
- [20:56]
B
Yeah.
- [20:56]
A
Remittances from abroad and especially from the United States today account for between 30 and 50% of the Somalian economy.
- [21:04]
B
There you go. Between 30 and 50% of the country of Somalia is. Their economy is based on US Welfare. Wow. Just wow. Was I right when I said that Somalia is the meth lab trailer park of the world. It is. It's the meth lab trailer park of the world. It's a terrible country and unfortunately it's exported a whole lot of terrible people. Are all of them terrible? No, there's probably some good ones, but Minneapolis and Minnesota and, and Maine and states across the country. Apparently they thought they could just take advantage of our largesse and, and move right in and take it. Let's take a break and come back. Luke Ball joins us next. Don't go anywhere. There's a lot of my nightly ritual now is a little ice, a little vanilla yogurt, banana, a little milk and a scoop of chocolate brownie beans. Dream po in the blender.

A
Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation has stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected and our country is back stronger than ever before. How are you feeling about Democrats right now? Yeah, I mean, Democrats in the minds of the American public are lower than the Dead Sea. What are we talking about here? Well, let's take a look at the net approval rating for Democrats in Congress. You said it, Kate Baldwin. The lowest ever. Look at this. Overall, they are 55 points underwater. Their approval rating is south of 20%. It's even worse when you look at independents. Look at this, negative 61 points. That means that their approval rating is 61 points lower than their disapproval rating. Quinnipiac is.
- [23:50]
B
And 20 points lower than toenail fungus. We just got that just a few minutes ago. Luke Ball joins us on the Newsmax hotline. Wow. I'm talking about 1, 2, 3, punch, man. 1, 2, 3, pants. Go ahead.
- [24:01]
A
What they're doing just slightly better than monkeypox is what I hear in the labeling right now. They're running neck and neck, I gotta tell you.
- [24:09]
B
So last night you had Trump's speech. We'll get to that in a second. This morning, we wake up and you got the numbers on the Democrat Party being less popular than toenail fungus. And then the inflation report after they were saying it's Trump's inflation affordability. All of this. Holy crud, They've got to be in the dumper today.
- [24:25]
A
So blaming Trump for any lingering economic problems right now is kind of like blaming the firefighter for the arsonist's work. Like, the guy shows up on scene and tries to clean things up and put out the mess, and the others should show up and say, look at the mess that you made. It's totally disingenuous. And to have the left just criticize the president for things that happened under the Biden administration. I remember, like, Chuck Schumer went out and held a press conference during Trump's first term and stood in front of the most expensive gas station in Washington, D.C. pounded his fist and said, these prices are too high. And now we've got like $2 a gallon gas across the nation. We're hitting record lows and things like that. It's just completely ridiculous that the Democrats refuse to acknowledge things that helped all American, regardless of whether they're red or blue.
- [25:13]
B
You know, they just are so out of their minds. Last night, Donald Trump mentions that a lot of our warriors are going to get seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars. And over on News Nation, they had a Democrat saying, that's not very much money. You can't even get an apartment in D.C. for that. I'm like, you idiot, it's because you live in D.C. do you know what seventeen hundred seventy six dollars means to the average American? It means Christmas and a month's worth of groceries.
- [25:39]
A
Wholeheartedly out of touch. Do you know how many things I could get this Christmas for that much money? I mean, it's just. I was gonna text. I haven't done it yet. I haven't bothered him with it, but I was gonna text a few of my buddies who are in the military and be like, hey, this probably helps out a lot, and just kind of get their honest feedback to Criticize sending money to our troops just hits all time lows. And the president's speech last night was a Trump rally in the past.
- [26:04]
B
Oh, bro.
- [26:05]
A
It's how I phrased it. Basically. It's like on the campaign trail, I got to travel with him and listen to him at like probably hundreds of rallies, say, this is what I'm going to do, this is what I plan to do. And last night he's saying, look at what I've done. We had a bad four years under Biden, but these are the things I'm doing to correct it. And then that forward looking mentality is the type of mentality that's really going to help us out in the midterm election.
- [26:30]
B
Well, I have been saying that we need to figure out a way to get the message out, a vacuum of any good news with the liberal media. Last night he did it. Here's Gingrich talking about it.
- [26:43]
A
That's going to wash away an amazing amount of the news media's effort to.
- [26:49]
B
Frankly talk badly about America.
- [26:52]
A
I mean, the elite media, the Democratic propaganda media has done everything it could to hide reality.
- [26:58]
B
Just take the price of gasoline.
- [27:01]
A
When you start having states that are below $2 a gallon and you think about what people used to say the price would inevitably be. When you see the big auto companies all going back to producing internal combustion engines, because guess what? That's what their consumers want to buy. I see so many good things. But I'll tell you, we've known each other a long time. To watch President trump give a 19 minute disciplined speech that covered that many.
- [27:31]
B
Facts was worthy of Ronald Reagan. That was a good speech.
- [27:35]
A
It was an important speech.
- [27:37]
B
Someday people will say it was one.

A
Of the most important speeches of his career because it set the table for the entire debate over the next year and laid out what Biden did to make the country a disaster. What Trump has already done and where we are going in general and why that's the right direction.
- [27:55]
B
Yeah. And anyone with a modicum of common sense would see what Donald Trump is doing to bring business. The entire world wants to invest in America and the Democrat Party is trying to convince us that it's cracking.
- [28:07]
A
And I went on Fox last night and said it shortly after New Gingrich, that it felt as if the juxtaposition between Trump and Biden could not be starving. Because when Trump wants to give his political agenda, he goes out and gives stats and facts and figures and explains the policy positions. It was cold, hard facts. And Biden would go out there with Two military members standing behind him in front of a red brick wall that was like he was broadcasting from hell. Pounded his fist. The MAGA was a threat to democracy. That's the difference between a Trump presidency and a Biden presidency. One that says, these are the things that I have done for you and what I am going to continue doing for you. And someone who just comes out there and labels all of the political opponents just like a basket of deplorables or a threat to democracy or things that are even horrible.
- [28:55]
B
Yeah, don't forget MAGA fascists, enemies of democracy, white supremacists, Nazis and fascists. Yeah, don't forget that. What the hell? I mean, honestly, what do you expect to get other than these dour, insane liberals? I've said the constituency of the Democrat Party are crazy cul de sac dwelling white liberals and the emasculated men in their lives. That's what they got. Who in the hell wants to live your life in such misery?
- [29:22]
A
So the voters who are gonna make the difference in the midterm elections are the ones that care about the common sense issues and the ones that gave him the popular vote in the Electoral College. A lot of independents and people who just want to see America do better. So when you talk about things like, I didn't bring, you know, what's the legality of blowing up people who are bringing fentanyl in the United States, like those commercials just write themselves to the Republicans, what is the Democrat solution to stopping fentanyl overdoses and drug overdoses in the United States? They want you to think the status quo is totally normal. The status quo. Tens of thousands of Americans dying every year from overdoses. And so while they're stepping around pools of blood in their streets of the cities, they're like, look the other way. There's nothing happening here. Nothing to see here. The status quo is totally normal. And that just doesn't go well for those who want safety in the streets, who want people not overdosing. So if that's their mentality and their message for the swing voters, then have at it. Guys. Like, that's not going to do you any favors that you're counting both on.

B
Election night and then they keep doing face plants. Yesterday is all about affordability. Affordability. Affordability is the next big thing. Affordability, affordability. Then Rob Reiner, oh, my God, what he said about Rob Reiner. MAGA voters are going to leave Donald Trump. The coalition is collapsing. And then, you know, whatever, whatever, they come up with something new. It's always the Next thing. It's the next thing. It's the next thing. I want to continue the conversation on the other side of the break. Is that cool with you, Luke?
- [30:46]
A
Yes, sir. Let's do it.
- [30:48]
B
All right. More with Luke Ball. Go to Luke T. Ball on Twitter and we'll be right back on the Rob Carson Show.
- [30:56]
A
I mean, I was surprised. It was a better number than anyone was expecting. Look, inflation's been very high. It stayed high. It has not been coming down. But, you know, people were expecting it to be above 3%. It was well below 3%. I mean, I think the president will take this as good news. The investors will think that interest rates will get cut more. So, you know, it was, it was a positive news. There's no other way to spin it.
- [31:23]
B
Well, that is cnn, I got to tell you. You got to imagine the, the newsroom there, you know, upping their meds today because the ball is rolling as far as the economy. Inflation is slowing down. Interest rates are going to drop dramatically when Jerome Powell's rear end is out of the Fed. And then, of course, a big, beautiful bill kicks in in January. And I think this is why the Democrat Party is so desperate to come up with the next thing to take down Donald Trump. Luke Ball, what do you think?
- [31:48]
A
Man, I just love having CNN commentary with the Trans Siberian Christmas Orchestra in the background. I think maybe their viewership would get above a dozen people if they continue to do that or if you added that in. So I wholeheartedly agree. The doom and gloom that's cast especially by the media around the economy is it seems as if they just want it to fail. Right. And so when the president a few weeks ago said that affordability messaging as a scam, I think what he really meant is that this is a conduit for the Democrats to try to squeeze in socialism. Right. Like, you can talk about how the economy is doing and the price of this and the price of that, but when you start saying things like affordability, that plays directly into Mamdani's campaign messaging. And it's a conduit to start slipping in something besides capitalism and Cat and trying to push socialism. So that's what he means by that. And so watch what solutions the Democrats try to put forward. It means doubling down on the ACA Obamacare that has come. You know, I had to go. I'm trying to figure out health care for myself in this upcoming years. It's a complete nightmare going on here and looking at some of these prices because there's no competition out there. And yet they'll turn around and blame us for the things they're doing. Right. Like, they just yell at us because we're the ones trying to come up with, like, legitimate solutions, grounded and backed up. And they want to offer us pie in the sky and fairy dust and say that everything's going to fix itself.
- [33:15]
B
Yeah, I was looking at the healthcare as well. I don't have company healthcare, so I had to go pursue it for myself. And I was just kind of blown away. I'm a little bit older than you, but I don't drink and I'm, you know, really healthy guy. And I was looking at 800. $800 a month with a $7,000 deductible.
- [33:34]
A
Oh, yeah, dude. So I was facing something similar for my wife and myself. It was $700 and I think the deductible was 10,000. And just trying to solidify that for my family because I run my own business. Like, I'm trying to figure out exactly how I navigate this in a new period of life. And I think also, like a lot of gen zers or millennials that kind of on the backside. I'm like, on the back cut off of millennials. I'm 30 years old. They're getting to this point in life right now and it's like, oh, I actually have to pay things like health care. I have to pay for things. What is a Social Security? Who is Fannie Mae and why is she taking all my money? You know, things like that.
- [34:16]
B
100%.
- [34:18]
A
The only good part about it, Rob, is that this is when you start to see the liberals become conservatives. When they get baptized in reality, they start to get a little bit older and realize that the real world doesn't operate how they've been painted it in college. And by the way, they're saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan debt. Learn false premises. Then they start to actually become conservative and come over to our side. So maybe it's a positive thing in the long run, but in the short term, like, it's just, it's not working, man.
- [34:46]
B
No. You know, and by the way, I went with a faith based health care plan and you ought to investigate that.
- [34:52]
A
I am looking at. Dude, I have. Dude, I got Christian health ministries pulled up on like one tab and Obamacare on the other. And I'm like, man, like, buddy, ministry versus because Obamacare is just night and day.
- [35:06]
B
You wouldn't believe the networks. You would not believe the networks. I mean, I was on the phone with him for an Hour and a half the other night explaining all this, and the most thorough, the most amazing thing. And then if you just want to pray with them on the phone, Holy hell. I mean, it's like, wow, wow, wow.
- [35:21]
A
I know. So, yeah, you go on Obamacare site and what state do you live in? Is the first question. You go to the Christian ministry side. It's like, are you a Christian? I like the starting point.
- [35:33]
B
It is. It's remarkable. I think some really great things are happening. And obviously for someone who is Gen Z cusp like you, I'm a, you know, old school Gen Xer. When I graduated from college, you know, I was making $18,000 a year, but by the mid-90s, you know, some Gen Xers were graduating, making 80,000, $100,000. The tech boom that was going on, all of that, of course, that bubble burst. And then Millennials, right when they were graduating, Barack Obama was the President, became the President of the United States. The economy idled along. It was FL at about 1% annual growth for eight years. And then of course, Gen Z comes along and they shut down the schools and businesses and destroy the economy. And then while Joe Biden is the president, the price of a house doubles and the interest rate on a house triples and the price of a used car doubles and the price of a new car goes up by 30%. So, I mean, it's had to be hard for you, Luke, in the last five years. It's been a hell of a rough ride.
- [36:34]
A
It's been really interesting. And I grew up in the Tea Party movement. That's how I got my starter interest in politics. And the whole premise was to basically expose the government for the waste, fraud and abuse that they have been been utilizing over the last, you know, decade or whatever it had been. And now to see a president come into office and get rid of all of these federal programs and employees that we didn't need on the payroll, and to actually do something about it is just really gratifying. But you're exactly right, too, to, like, see the way we went from the time that I was growing up to looking at students who will never be able to actually function well in a classroom ever again because of the restrictive mandates that were put on them or the way that they're just that they have been blocked from learning at pace with where they should be because they got kicked out of their classrooms or when they opened the liquor stores but shut down the churches. I never thought I'd see that in my lifetime. But I also think that it allowed for this sort of awakening that government could just come in and do this overnight, and we would willingly give up our rights and responsibilities. Really disheartening. But a lot of patriots came out.
- [37:43]
B
Of that whole thing.
- [37:44]
A
Yeah.
- [37:44]
B
And, you know, I moved to Washington, D.C. because I wanted to witness this history and because of what we had all been through together, my audience the last five years, I wanted to be a part of this. Because we are in the. In the confluence of events like we've never seen before. Reagan had a 7% growth rate when he was the President of the United States. This is going to make that pale by comparison. I know it. I know it. We have a wave of patriotism sweeping into the country as we enter our 250th year. We got the big beautiful bill. A lot of things are happening that are remarkable. We have to wrap things up. Luke, what are you doing for Christmas?
- [38:18]
A
I am about to head to Dallas, Texas, to spend a few days with my wife, family, and then I'm heading to Wilmington, North Carolina, to see my family. So I hope that you have a merry Christmas as well. You staying up here in the swamp?
- [38:30]
B
Yep. Well, I'm going. I'm driving back to Kansas City. I'm gonna listen to music all the way, and I'm gonna enjoy my time off. I'm taking from tomorrow through January 2nd. God bless you and yours, Luke. I'm glad I know you, man. I'm looking for a new. A great year with you as a contributor, being on the show and whatnot. Safe travels. Okay.
- [38:47]
A
You too, brother. Merry Christmas. Good to talk to you.
- [38:49]
B
You all right? Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I'm gonna be listening to some Christmas music as I travel across the country. Starting Saturday, I'll have a blue Michael.
- [39:10]
A
Buble Christmas without you.
- [39:14]
B
