B (18:02)

I don't know.

A (18:03)

I don't know. Six hours later, you're the president and you don't know? I do not know.

B (18:06)

So President Donald Trump has said that Brown University is to blame for this.

A (18:13)

Shooting, saying it's the school's problem.

B (18:15)

Is that a fair criticism or do you.

A (18:18)

I don't think it's fair, Chris. Colonel, can you expand on that? Why not? Because Brown University is not collaborating with you guys. You're lying to the press. Over here, they have facial recognition. We know that because they follow the student. They follow everybody in the neighborhood. Facial recognition. Yeah. And the guy apparently said something before he fired the bullets and nobody knows what it is. And nobody can figure out who this guy is. And there were no cameras near the doors in the, at the university. There was no face recognition technology, none of that stuff. It sounds like they didn't know what the hell they were doing. Here's Eric Pratt talking about one of the biggest mistakes you can possibly make, saying that your institution is a gun free zone. It'd be like saying you're a liquor store and you're a gun free zone. Just tell the thieves to come in and steal everything. This is. Despite what you hear from the left, guns were not the problem in Rhode island, certainly not Australia either. In fact, in both cases, you could say a lack of guns. Guns was the real failure because law abiding people were, oh, this means I can go in and murder everybody vented from being armed. You know, I personally know two people who have stopped mass shootings, and in each case they've used their guns to stop the bad guys before probably going to start up the guy in Bondi beach as the the police down there waited 20 minutes and then ultimately a guy without a gun took him down. Police arrived and that's how you stop a mass killer. But gun control in Rhode island, as you pointed out, it made it more likely there would be no one armed who could fight back. And you know you mentioned that Brown University bans possession of firearms. So it's a gun free zone. But the state also has universal background checks. It's got red flag gun confiscation laws, it has a seven day waiting period for gun for purchasing firearms. None of it worked. And it just shows that disarming law abiding people doesn't stop mass killers. It empowers. If you want to watch where we are right now, watch the movie Demolition man with with Sly Stallone and Wesley Snipes. It is exactly what Brown University is the possession, use or storage of weapons or firearms strictly prohibited by all university property and at university sponsored events except as authorized under this policy, blah blah blah. You can, if you're a licensed concealed carrier, bring a gun on campus and it basically broadcasts the entire world. You can commit any act of violence you want. You'll be able to get away with it because we are unarmed. It's, it's, it's honestly just insane. And look, it caused the death of two young people, 19 and 18 years old, missing their entire lives. Unbelievable. But not really on the way. Sarah Bedford, Washington Examiner Dudes go anywhere.

And unfortunately for Democrat voters, the only thing Santa will be bringing them this Christmas is a sleigh full of idiots like Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris. And of course there's Joe Biden who would lose a cognitive matchup against Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer. But there is a serious point here and Kellyanne was hitting on this. The Democrats don't have a political bench. What they have are a bunch of political misfits and political baggage. And when you stack up the Democrats to the successes of President Trump, whether that's securing the border or cutting taxes or bringing about world peace, I think Democrats will look small as we round the corner into 2026. The economy is going to take a lot, take off like a rocket ship Q1 and Q2. And every single Republican has to be out there telling the story about how the economy is doing great, how President Trump is the one who got it done and how we can win and we're best prepared to lead this country, not Democrats. Yeah. And just being contrarian to everything that Donald Trump does, including having love affairs with narco terrorists, isn't gonna work. It's not gonna work. And I've been saying this. If you think that the Democrat Party is gonna win the midterms just because it's the midterms, you're high. Because there are when this economy takes off, they won't be able to lie big enough to cover all of the successes. Sarah Bedford is an investigative editor of the Washington Examiner. The Washington examiner, one of my favorite papers of record and she the Newsmax hotline. How you doing? I'm great.

B (23:51)

Thanks for having me.

A (23:52)

Glad to have you on. I saw the headline. I thought this is pretty entertaining and true. Why Democrats may be Structurally Screwed. Now you're leaning into the the demography of the country, et cetera. Explain the premise of your article.

B (24:08)

Well, there's all this talk of redistricting going around and it's sort of drawn attention to the fact that Democrats have already sort of maximized their advantage in their most populous states like Illinois. And in New York, they've already gerrymandered quite aggressively where Republicans have not taken chances to do that. And so if we do have a lot of mid decade redistricting across states, there's more juice in the lemon as J.D. vance put it, for Republicans to squeeze than Democrats. But beyond that, there's a few things coming down the pipeline over the next few years that ought to really scare Democrats. And one of them is the fact that the Supreme Court is considering whether to end the racial requirements of Section 2 of the Voting Rights act. And that would let states draw maps without regard to where minority communities are located. The Voting Rights act currently forces them to do that. We're talking about a significant number of states, potentially as many as 19, but likely a dozen states that could, excuse me, districts that could be redrawn have a GOP advantage if the Supreme Court makes that decision next year.

A (25:22)

Yeah. And the Democrat Party has done a good deal to socially engineer, particularly the inner city black community, to make them impoverished, uneducated because of poor schools and dependent. And that has done very well for them over the years when you redraw districts according to race.

B (25:42)

And during oral arguments in October, it was Justice Clarence Thomas, I believe, who sort of asked the question skeptically, like, are Democratic groups who rely exclusively on suing states over Voting Rights act violations, are they really concerned about any racial discrimination that's going on because in the context of voting that doesn't really exist anymore, or are they just using this law improperly as a partisan weapon? And so those are the types of things that the justices are considering. And then the third thing that Democrats have likely working against them, it seems like a long way off now, but it's really not, is the 2030 census is going to redistribute House seats and electoral college votes to red states. And when you add up all of those things, mid decade redistricting, this likely Supreme Court ruling, and the 2030 census, Democrats are looking at losing their advantage in dozens and dozens of House suites in just the next five years.

A (26:44)

Well, also, if you factor in the possibility of not including illegals in the census and the massive outpouring of people from Democrat run states like California, like Maryland, like New Jersey, like New York, for God's sake. I mean, it is extraordinary. And they're taking trillions of dollars with them.

B (27:06)

Yeah, you're right about the problem of counting legal immigrants in the census. And you know, there's a push on Capitol Hill. You have some Republicans in the House and Senate who have introduced legislation to exclude illegal immigrants from the census count for the purposes of apportionment. And J.D. vance has talked about it. But I think if that fight ever got really serious and Republicans made, you know, did a real college try to make that policy A reality before Donald Trump leaves office. You would see an absolute knockdown, drag out, fight. There would be such a fierce opposition from Democrats because that could lock them out of power forever.

A (27:50)

Of course, of course, of course. It's obvious why they want the illegals counted. They are luring illegal aliens into their states like California. Gavin Newsom finally admitted. Oh, yeah, hell, the free health, you know, government health care for everybody doesn't matter if you're legal or not. And we have seen government largesse lure people in from around the world. And that's the only thing that keeps impoverished people from out of our country in those states is the rich welfare benefits, which are rich compared to the living standards they experience from their, you know, from their country of origin.

B (28:26)

And to be clear, the effect of not including illegal immigrants wouldn't be entirely beneficial to Republicans and negative for Democrats. I mean, Texas would take a substantial hit to the number of people they get to send to Congress. Right. So there's a little bit of a. But the net effect would certainly be beneficial to Republicans. And you know, the argument that you always hear from Democrats about why in the context of voting, illegal immigration doesn't matter. They say, you know, illegal immigrants never vote, which, you know, that's a whole separate conversation. But what they are doing is distorting congressional representation in this country because congressional seats are being taken away from states that have higher shares of voting American citizens and being given to states that have fewer of them because the presence of illegal aliens is distorting the apportionment process. So it's actually really important for democracy to have these conversations. Even though those illegal immigrants don't vote, they're still skewing the process.

A (29:36)

Of course, of course. Then you look at what Harmeet Dillon is doing. You look at what Tulsi Gabbard is doing with regard to clearing up the voter rolls. The Democrat Party resident reticent to share the people who are enrolled to vote. You look, Tom Fitton uncovered 100,000 illegals registered to vote in the state of Pennsylvania. And then of course, the possibility of limiting or eliminating mail in voting and late voting, that's really going to screw the Democrats, right?

B (30:09)

I mean, it's kind of remarkable to see how hard some of these Democratic states are fighting not to expose any of their voter registration. In Michigan, you have a big fight over that. And it's actually illegal for states not to maintain clean voter rolls. But for so long, they've gotten away with not having to clean them up because, you know, for Democrats, I mean, they make an argument that you could accidentally disenfranchise someone by removing them from the list.

A (30:40)

Yeah. And requiring an ID is racist. Right.

B (30:45)

I mean, you know, and studies show that that actually doesn't reduce participation in elections at all.

A (30:52)

Well, they showed that in Georgia. They showed that in Georgia when they were Jim Crow 2.0. And it turned out more people showed up for the ballot. And then, you know, in California, you know, they say no illegals are voting, but there is no investigation at all of voter fraud whatsoever. In California. There is not. So you could vote as much as you want. You could be dead. You could be. It's not pursued. It is verboten to even pursue in the state of California. California.

B (31:17)

It's, it's. Yeah, it's remarkable the level of disinterest that Democrats have in actually ensuring that elections are, you know, not only definitely trustworthy, but. But perceived to be trustworthy by.

A (31:29)

And there's no voter fraud. And there's no voter fraud. Come on. You know that, Sarah.

B (31:34)

Well, regardless of whether there isn't, There isn't. There is a real crisis of trust in the process.

A (31:39)

Yes.

B (31:39)

You know, for Democrats have been complaining about threats to democracy all the time. Public perception is like one of the most important elements of. And you would think that they would want to fix that.

A (31:50)

Can you hold on through the break? I'd like to continue the conversation. Also, you got another piece. What protests in the street have in common with deep pocketed radical movements. Would you mind holding through the break? Sure.

B (32:01)

Thank you.

A (32:01)

Sarah Bedford, Washington Examiner. More with her on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show. I've got a long list of things that we're investigating. We have the back of the best.

B (32:14)

Going after this election, integrity being one of them.

A (32:19)

We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers.

B (32:26)

For a very long time and vulnerable.

A (32:29)

To exploitation to manipulate the results of votes being cast, which further drives forward.

B (32:34)

Your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can.

A (32:39)

Have faith in the integrity of, of our elections. I think what we ought to do is just give people a little basket of rocks and then you go in and you got big baskets of rocks and you just put your rock in each one. You know, what the hell, I mean, why not even make it even more analog than paper? Because honestly, believe it or not, electronic things get hacked. I know it's kind of strange when you sit there and look at your phone and your computer that occasionally get hacked. Hard to believe. Sarah Bedford is What? The Washington Examiner. She joins us on the Newsmax hotline. There are Donald Trump has said in the last couple of days that a mountain of evidence is going to happen with regard to the 2020 election. I absolutely wanted to present because it's not called disinformation anymore. Believe it was a fraudulent election because I'm not stupid. That's the number one reason. What are your thoughts on what Tulsi's doing, what Donald Trump said about the 2020 election?

B (33:38)

Well, you know, there's so many things that he has promised to shed some transparency on. And I'm personally most interested in some of these prosecutions of Donald Trump. We learned just today that the FBI never believed that there was probable cause to conduct the raid on Mar A Lava. Yes, Your DOJ leaders insisted on it. That is the sort of thing that he has a really limited Runway to fix. Right. Politicization at the doj. He's got three more years to fix that. And so that's, I think, one of his more important missions.

A (34:16)

Yeah, well, I'm still kind of pissed about 2020, so. Sorry. I just kind of am. Usually, you know, you don't see the vote counting stop in the bat in the, in the battleground states the night of the election and then start recounting the next day. And of course, a supposed sewer break or a water main break at the convention center in Atlanta, that never happened. So I'm still kind of ticked about that and wondering why so many lost their journalistic curiosity with regard to that election because there certainly were a lot of questions to ask. Let's move on to another piece you wrote. And clearly the no Kings. What happened to no Kings, by the way? Sarah, it was the biggest thing in the world until about a month and a half ago. What the hell happened to it?

B (35:04)

Oh, now it's, it's morphed into a bunch of other things. I think it's the We Ain't Buying it boycott.

A (35:09)

Yes, it is. I forgot about the We Ain't Buying it in the Black Friday. And that didn't do. Didn't do so well, did it?

B (35:19)

Not at all. Record breaking sales, in fact.

A (35:23)

Oh, I'm sorry, we thought you meant Buy More. Oh, man, that must have been what happened. But clearly we were in a different situation when Ronald Reagan took office. He was the first person I voted for and the country could get behind his policies and whatnot. You have a Democrat party that has been anti Trump for a decade. It was so bad. I remember in 2015 when Donald Trump was Running people were showing up and Teva was putting people in lines at Trump rallies to start fighting. So they clearly had targeted him since the day he came down the escalator. Since he took office, it has been one temper tantrum after another. It was Epstein a couple weeks ago. Then Epstein came back with some doctored photos. And then it became Pete Hegses as a war criminal. And then of course, all of these protests, which are clearly bought and paid for.

B (36:21)

That's right. And you know, in the piece I sort of walk through how George Soros, probably not surprised to hear his name in that conversation, gave some of the sort of startup money to the group that organizes the no Kings protest. Indivisible. But that what this movement does in a lot of ways, even though it's a nominally nonviolent movement, it encourages peaceful protests. It sort of creates a permission structure for the more violent elements of the left wing faction because it engages in this rhetoric about stopping Donald Trump at any cost, that there's no divide on the left that is worth litigating because opposition to Donald Trump is the highest calling a leftist can have.

A (37:12)

And they never put down the violence. Never, you know, say, that's wrong. We can't do that. It's absolute crap. Everything they say is a lie. Listen, we got to run this piece. What protests in the street have in common with Deepak. This is a deep dive. It's a great read. And then all your work is great. Sarah, where can people find all of your glorious work?

B (37:36)

Oh, thanks so much. You can find it all@washingtonexaminer.com it is.

A (37:40)

Just really nice to see journalism back and you are one of the people who are doing it. I know a lot of journalists, Matt Taibbi, Matthew Shellenberger, you know, John Solomon. You guys are just doing great jobs. And I just, I love, I love, I love great writing and you're doing a great job. So thanks for joining me. Hope to have you on again soon.

B (37:58)

Thanks for having me.

A (37:59)

All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

B (38:04)

Former President Joe Biden is falling far short of the money needed to build his presidential library. The New York Times finding through public filings that Biden received no new donations.

A (38:15)

For that library in 2024. Well, wait, hold on. I thought he was going to be on Mount Rushmore as the greatest president ever. Why would somebody who got 81 million votes not being raising a damn dime for his presidential library? Oh, yeah, maybe because he's pudding for brains. Yeah, I think it's what it was. It's a failure. No way. We gotta win the super bowl again. We gotta get him back loose, man. Yeah, sure. He has a marshmallow brain That's Joe Biden with a head Empty as it can be. Merry Christmas. Everybody at the Eagles game didn't know his name Jose Nyland is clear to see I made a poopy. He's a dumb dummy Joe he has lost it Keeping him president was insane his voice is weak Help he ought to seek Joe Biden has a marshmallow brain I thought he could be the president. Two more years. Folks at the White House protected Joe. Yeah, they had to know a long time ago. What a joke that Joe Biden wasn't all there. They were poorly aware. Yeah, they were. Can't believe he still shows up in public. He is someone they need to restrain. He might slip and fall. Gets lost at the mall. Joe Biden has a marshmallow brain. Yeah.
