Hope, by golly, Tampon Tim will never, ever save face.
C
You know, I haven't had to buy tampons in quite a. Quite a few years. I used to have to go to the grocery store and get those for a wife and a daughter. I could never get it right. I was like, what the hell is a. What is a Tampax pearl? What the hell is that? Is it like the, you know, Pirates of the Caribbean? The Tampon Black Pearl? ARR. You know that I had no Idea what the hell it was. What's the pearl? What's a Mexi Maxi? Tim Waltz knows. And I bet you could buy a lot of them for a billion dollars. Hey, welcome to the show. Please come inside. I mean, honestly, the Democrat party is the gift that keeps on giving. You know, I've said the, the, the conservative comedy is on the ascent because the left can't be. You got a governor in Minnesota who, Who thinks that tampons belong in boys room. They don't have a magima. I just thought you should know that, Tim. They don't have a magima. That's where you, that's where you put those things of your. Well, I'm not going to get into the details. It gets kind of nasty after that. But, but honestly. And then it turns out he, he's in cahoots with the Somali population just loading up a cookie jar with billions of dollars and they were just stealing it left and right. And everybody knew about it. Everybody, all the Democrats up there knew about it. Yeah, they did. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go ahead and say that. You know why? Because projected opinion and I'm not stupid.
Several high profile Minnesota Democrats allegedly received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from those behind the biggest welfare scam in history. Shut the front door. Are you saying that Ilhan Omar, the woman who actually pushed through Congress $250 million for the feed our Children fund, which was basically a giant grab bag for Somali fraudsters. Are you saying that maybe she could be invol. She got him the money and then got a whole bunch of it in campaign contribution? Are you crazy? You're racist. You are a racist. You just are. Xenophobe or something. Maybe. I don't even know what the hell you are. You're so awful. Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, including the Attorney General were handed over $53,000 in campaign contributions by fraudsters who ripped off taxpayer cash meant for Feed the Children. According to the New York Post, Keith Ellison, his council, councilman's son, and Mayor Jacob Fry, Representative Elon Omer received cash from the scammers who siphoned off some $250 million largely through the nonprofit Feeding Our Future. But they also took about a billion dollars from. From fraudulent claims of autism. And nobody caught it. Even the, even the AG of this day didn't notice. It used to be here budget for autism was $2 million last year. This year, two years later, it's $400 million. And they didn't notice it. Sure they didn't notice it Whatever. Whole lot of Somalis have places living around Lake Minnetonka up there. I used to hang out there. Ellison's campaign took in $100 or $10,000 from businessman Gandhi Mohammed. Made a maximum of $2,500 donation to Ellison's reelection campaign. Was indicted on federal bribery and fraud charges. Last year, Ellison was received three more maxed out to $2,500 donations. For people associated with feeding our Future, a cool $3,000 went to Councilman's son Jeremiah Jeremiah Ellison. Democrat Mayor Jacob Fry scored $9,000. Democrat Minnesota Senator Omar Fataho took in $11,000. We're only beginning to see the beginning of the scandal. It's just kind of crazy, right? And who would have seen this coming? I mean, who could have seen that maybe there was Somalis coming into the country and they were just robbing the country blind or the state blind? Who would have seen that? Here in Minnesota, you've seen firsthand the problems. Oh, this is Donald Trump.
With faulty refugee vetting. With large numbers of Somali refugees coming.
D
Into your state, what, without your knowledge.
C
Without your support or approval, and with.
D
Some of them then joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world.
Honestly, it's hard to believe.
C
No, not really. No. Ten years later, this is the Minnesota commissioner, I guess, kind of giggling, kind of giggling. Talking in front of the press about all the money that's been stolen. I'll try to answer the question I think you're asking.
So it.
B
To the extent that it's.
C
Driving spending increases, it would show up.
B
In the increased spending in forecast.
A
So is it just being accounted for as spending, not specifically as a line item of fraud?
B
Correct.
C
Wow. They're laughing. They're giggling. Think it's funny or something? That's not gonna be so funny when your ass is in jail. Yeah, Tim W. Took a station that say they used to have like a $9 billion surplus into a $6 billion deficit. They are broke. The state is broke. But he says it's the best darn state ever. It's run real good. Real, real good. Here's a Republican the state house talking about Keith Ellison. He's the AG of the state of Minnesota and he. They actually have evidence of him talking to Somali fraudsters and supporting them even though he knew that they were stealing money.
D
Recently released audio recordings reveal conversations that happened between the Attorney General and individuals who were later implicated and in some cases convicted in the feeding our future scandal. In those recordings, the Attorney General order.
A
Master speaker now you're going to hear.
C
Democrats interrupt him because he's trying to make a point here. They're interrupting him so he can't speak.
A
Since 124, paragraph 1 in debate members.
D
Must confine remarks the questions portal of.
A
The body and avoid personalities. The debate here is not any individual. It is the policy and the amendment.
D
Representative Niska, the attorney general was asked in those recordings to use his authority to protect businesses under investigation for wrongdoing. And rather than distance himself or remain.
C
Neutral to what did he do to.
D
Allow the legal process to unfold, he responded in those recordings.
A
Of course I'm here to help.
C
Hold on. He said that they're going to help the fraudsters and oh, wait, he's going to get interrupted.
B
Mr. Speaker, there was a point of.
A
Order and I didn't hear a ruling or any resolution of the point of order.
B
Was there a resolution to it that.
D
There was no ruling made by the speaker as to the point of order that was just stated. Representative Niska, go ahead. The attorney general in those recordings even urged the individuals, let's go fight these people. He was offered campaign contributions during that meeting, contributions that he later accepted. The release of those audio recordings raises questions about what's going on in the attorney general's office.
C
The whole damn Democrat Party, the whole state of Minnesota. There can be a whole lot of people going to jail. I'm hoping Ilhan Omar gets investigated and then indicted and then tried and then deported.
D
Go directly to the need to pass the legislation that we had previously debated. House file 20 although he has insisted that nothing came of the meeting San.
C
Francis of campaign donations his office Disclosure.
D
Of closed investigation124 the A11 will help ensure that what happens behind closed doors.
C
And when we get behind and the.
D
Attorney general's office sees the light of day, we can protect people's privacy while shining a light on. On what the attorney General's office is doing.
C
Yeah, you know, Anderson Cooper interviewed a visibly nervous Keith Ellison and he said he wouldn't change anything yesterday.
A
I do want to ask you about the fraud scandal because the president's comments seemed at least in part fueled by sphincter tightening.
C
I heard in the distance.
A
Or he's talking about this fraud scandal that we mentioned earlier involving that charity called Feeding Our Future. The vast majority of these 70 defendants charged, the first I've heard of this case, were Somali. For perspective, Those are nearly 80,000 Somalis in the state.
C
How much?
A
I mean, critics have said the state officials, including you and the governor, did not act fast. Enough or quickly enough to investigate charges.
C
That going on, I don't know, for about four or five years. And they took $1 billion is a.
A
Fraud against the feeding our future and.
C
Did little to flag feeding our bank accounts.
A
Their allegations to federal authorities.
C
I know you said it was the.
A
The federal government that didn't move fast enough. Is there any, is there something you wish you had done differently?
D
No, we, first of all, the Department.
C
Of Education denied claims when they were, when questionable claims were made about these meals. My office went to court, explained that to the court. A judge actually found the department in contempt for denying claims. So, yeah, and we cooperated fully and worked well with the FBI. We are. Why didn't you stop it then? Why didn't you stop it? Oh, I tell you what, this is just. It's just. It's just kind of fun to watch, isn't it? Kind of fun to watch. I'm in such a good mood today. Oh, my God in heaven. This is the kind of stuff, this is the kind of accountability that they called retribution. But it's whatever you want to call it, whatever you want to call it, butt kick it. I don't even care. But people are going to pay for what they did. As more of this fraud is exposed, and it didn't stop in Minnesota. It's in Democrat states across the country. It's being exposed. Why they open the southern border. What happened with all that money that Joe Biden passed with COVID and all that. It was a massive scam on top of Obamacare, which is another massive scam. I told you the Democrat Party was doing a death spiral into hell. And they're dragging, kicking and streaming, trying to grab us and pull us in. But we're not going to go there, are we? We're going to celebrate Christmas and watch these sobs take it in the shorts. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
D
The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere.
A
Go to newsmax.com listen for details.
C
My message is simple on this. You commit fraud in Minnesota, you're going to prison. I don't care what color you are, what religion you are. Anybody who wants to help us in that, we welcome that.
A
But sitting on the sidelines and throwing.
C
Out accusations, and let's be very clear.
D
Demonizing an entire population and lying to.
C
People about the safety and security of this state is beneath that.
D
He's trying to play the race card here. He's trying to play the discrimination card. No, the problem is Tim Waltz. The problem is he was warned of this massive amount and yet he turned a blind eye for political reasons. That's why he turned a blind eye. So we want to stop this from happening, obviously, but we want to find and hold people accountable for allowing this to happen and see if this is being replicated in other states.
C
Oh, it is. All right.
D
Well, we look forward to the results of your investigation.
C
Thank you, Roberts. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Omar allies tied to massive Minnesota Covid meal fraud scheme involving Somali community this is just one of the many. Actually there were several. The HSS was involved and. Oh, let's see what else.
There was. Autism. Autism. They, you know, bunch of Somalis got together and said, hey, hey, hey, tell the doctors your kids got autism. We can make a lot of money. So they went from like $2 million a year to $400 million a year for autism and all of that stuff. So there you go. Individuals tied to Elon Omar, including a former campaign worker and associates of the Minneapolis restaurant she frequented, allegedly profited from the scheme. Members of the inner circle of Elon OMAR personally profited $1 billion. Welfare fraud scandal in her district that has placed her Somali constituency under a White House microscope. Omar was introduced the legislation that led.
To 250 million being defrauded from federal child nutrition in Covid. She, she, she did it. She like took the money and he ever fed chickens? Just throwing some feed out on the ground and watch them pack it? That's what she did. She did. She had a whole bunch of chickens around 200. That's racist or something. Maybe. I don't know. I have no idea. Anyway, around 250 million DOL states funds distributed beginning in 2020 to provide meals to schoolchildren who never got fed, just like the kids in Somalia during the pandemic. However, the money was allegedly pocketed by Salim Ahmed Saeed, the co owner of the Safari restaurant where OMAR held her 2018 congressional victory party.
Oh my God.
Saeed was convicted in March for his role in the scheme with the Justice Department, stating that the funds intended to feed children are used to finance a lavish lifestyle. Two million dollar Minneapolis mansion. $9,000 a month shopping habit at Nordstrom. Nordstrom. Hell, that's fantastic. Man, I wish I had that kind of money to spend. At Nordstrom, free meals were made possible by the 2020 Meals act introduced by Omar. You know, she might have visited one of the meal sites just to make sure that the money was being distributed since she introduced the freaking bill.
In August. Gaid Sayush, a Democrat activist and former Omar campaign official pled guilty to running a food the fake food site. He claimed that 5,000 meals a day to children pocketing millions the Justice Department said worked on Omar's 2018 and 2020 campaigns as an enforcer who oversaw voter turnout efforts. And let's just. Let's just say.
I'm thinking that not only are is corn and beans harvested, but votes are harvested. In the state of Minnesota, 78 defendants have been charged and is widely considered the largest pandemic relief fraud scheme in the United States of America. Why did this happen? Why did this happen? Why did this happen? Why did Tim Wirtz and Keith Ellison allow this to happen? Well, here is a report from the Free Press and how they use DEI. Pay attention. This is pretty good stuff.
B
Between 2020 and now, federal prosecutors say that more than a billion dollars was stolen.
C
This is a woman of color social.
B
Service programs and funneled to fraudulent nonprofits like Feeding Our Future. These organizations claim services for tens of thousands of children who didn't exist. Instead, taxpayer dollars went to funding luxury houses, imaginary kids.
C
You can give an imaginary food, high.
B
End cars, jewelry, overseas real estate which cost nothing.
C
So you could take the money and.
B
Steal it projects and worst of all, Al Shabaab, an Islamist terrorist group in Somalia. Now, new reporting shows that the Minnesota Department of Education officials noticed red flags early. They questioned invoices that made no mathematical sense. They noticed new feeding centers were registered in strip malls that were basically empty. They saw providers claiming to serve more.
C
All Elon Omar or Keith Ellison had to do was go to those strip malls and they never did meals.
B
Then there were children living in entire zip codes. And every time they tried to investigate, they were hit with the same accusations. If you expose this, it's racist. That's because Feeding Our Future was run by American citizens of Somali heritage. When the state began scrutinizing their applications, the organization filed a discrimination complaint with the Minnesota Department.
C
It's called a racist Women of human Rights.
B
And later sued the Department of Education accusing it of racial bias and discrimination. Feeding Our Future weaponized DEI by telling.
C
The Minnesota department weaponizing DEI well, why.
B
Does DEI exist of education that failing to promptly approve new applicants from minority owned businesses results in a lawsuit featuring accusations of racism that would be sprawled across the news in the Post. George Floyd climate that threat carried enormous political power. So agencies backed off, approvals kept flowing and and the fraud exploded. Most of the people charged in this fraud are a tiny fraction of Minnesota Somali community which is now stuck with the stigma created by A small group of offenders and a state government.
C
Not as small as you think. Not, not. Not as small. As small as you think. Here's Senator Jamie Comer talking about the Ellison and Vaults.
D
Well, first of all, what you're going to see is the fraud entailed a whole menu of government programs, really, social programs. And that's kind of the. The mojo for the Democrat Party. Now they want to put more and more money into social programs, but yet they. They refuse to accept responsibility for any type of waste, fraud, abuse. What we know is federal, the state employees.
C
Maybe this is why they didn't want Doge. Oh, my God, please.
D
In Minnesota rang the bell, they blew the whistle that there was massive problems.
C
Well, then that kind of makes sense to now the reason why they went after Elon Musk and said he was a Nazi, and now he's not a Nazi anymore.
D
It's weird fraud. And yet Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison, the Attorney General, apparently turned a blind eye to that for fear of political retaliation from the large voting bloc of Somali.
C
Oh, my God. Isn't that interesting? Wow. Oh, I just. I'm loving it. I'm loving the feces hitting the fan.
Looks like Tim Voltz is going to be getting cold in his stocking. Keith Ellison, too. But Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. Silver and gold, Everybody. For every $5,000 invested in Birch Gold, you get an ounce of silver, which is up 60% this year. See, smart people diversify and have an edge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold with the Fed rates that with rate cuts coming from the Fed, the dollar will be worth less. And, and what happens if the AI bubble bursts next year? How about you get some gold in that portfolio? All right, so here's what you got to do. Just text my name. Rob to 989-898. Rob to 989-890 8 and they're going to send you some information. And you'll be eligible for free silver with qualifying purchase before the 22nd, which is coming up because, heck, it's already the fifth today. Holy hell, it's already the fifth of December. So if you want silver and gold, text my name, Rob to 989-898 for Burt's Gold, a company that I trust. I have my money with them and you should as well. Coming up, up. Tony Kenneth, Daily Signal. Always a lot of fun. We'll be talking about all this criminality in Minnesota and Donald Trump sinking drug boats and. And Pete Heath has been exonerated because you know, was all a bunch of crap. All of that is coming up on the other side of this break. And this is the Rob Carson Show.
B
Hey, quick question for all the people.
D
Mad at Donald Trump for calling that reporter a piggy.
C
Come on.
B
Would you have preferred he called her Hitler, racist, rapist, pedo dictator, fascist, Nazi?
A
Would you have preferred one of those Metallica?
D
As staff, we firsthand witnessed an observed fraud happen. Happening. Yet we were shut down, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. There are even allegations, Mr. Chairman, of retaliation against whistleblowers. That's retaliation. Such a disregard for taxpayer dollars is criminal in itself, but to do it for political gain, that's even worse. Hopefully we can set an example and hold people accountable for this type of negligent abuse of taxpayers. Because I think this is not just a Minnesota thing. You're going to see this in other blue states that all they talk about, these Democrat governors is more and more social programs, more and more SNAP benefits, more and more Medicaid, but yet they refuse to admit that there's any level of fraud. So hopefully this is the tip of the iceberg. And I think this investigation could lead to many more investigations in other states and hopefully finally some savings of the taxpayer dollars.
C
You know, it's kind of weird. They, they opened the border wholesale, then they passed all sorts of emergency spending and they, they doled it out to the states. And then, and then.
Democrats got a lot of large yes out of this. And then, and then Elon Musk came in with his doge. He was going to go after waste rotten abuse and they attacked Elon Musk and said that what he was doing, he was a Nazi for God's sake. They burned his car dealerships. He was a Nazi. And I guess he's not a Nazi anymore. It's kind of weird, isn't it? Tony Kennett of the Daily Signal. Isn't it just kind of weird?
A
I mean, if you're looking for significantly normal standard to see the same thing day after day, I have no idea why you would go to the media and the politicians who report about Elon Musk, they change opinions on that man faster than a junior hire changes their outfit 47 times a day. Ridiculous nonsense to the extreme.
C
Yeah, well, you know that something was going on because the Democrat party was doling out all sorts of money to NGOs and to illegals and, and of course all of these illegals, he was, they were buying their votes and, and the Democrat states now are not turning over all their, you know, how Much SNAP benefits went to people there. Only Democrat states are withholding information and voter roll information. Isn't it kind of funny, Tony? It's like maybe they had something going on there with, you know, in bringing any legals and signing them up to vote and giving them stuff so they'll vote Democrat.
A
And also, you don't need our records on snap. You don't need our records on Medicare and Medicaid. You don't records on the Department of Agriculture subsidies. You don't need our records on anything because, well, you don't think immigrants are committing a billion dollars worth of fraud, do you?
C
You know, you are such a racist. You are a racist. You're a racist.
A
I knew it. I must get it from my. I mean, you didn't realize, Rob, that I have a very rich Somalian heritage.
C
Yes, you are. You look very Somalian if.
That Cherokee.
A
And blood just comes through Somalian, doesn't it?
C
You know, you very much could be Somalian. Because the pipe bomber is white.
A
Yes.
And also that city councilman in Maine who's also a rather dark man, apparently white is the driven snow. This is colorblindness to an extreme. I don't know whether to be proud or confused.
C
Now, you know that obviously Jake Tapper said that the pipe bomber, despite the fact that he's a black. Black man, was. Is white. That's what he said. That's what he said yesterday, even though it had been uncovered that the, and they actually, they showed pictures of him, which usually is a good indication of, you know, somebody's heritage. But, but Tapper called him a white guy last night. Unbelievable.
A
I just don't understand why I, like, I'm not, I'm not trying to be like, I'm purposely obtuse here. I'm serious when I say I don't understand what their, their method is here. It's so easily disproven. Do they really just think that people, like, leave it on in the background and absorb it like osmosis? I can't imagine treating my audience like this, really. I can't imagine us treating our, the people who are listening to us or watching us for news or updates or analysis, whatever. And I mean, not just kind of fudging the truth or a little hyper purpley here and there. I mean, just giving the finger to your audience like he does consistently.
C
Wow, it is, it is remarkable. So we had that, we had the, the pipe bomber unveiled. Turns out kind of an antifa kind of supporter. They're saying that he, he disagreed. He thought that the 2020 election was stolen. Okay, sure. Because if the, if that were the case, if he were pro Trump.
He thought the election was stolen, why did the FBI sit on the case for five years until Cash Patel and Dan Bongino came along?
A
I would, I would. I see your question. I. And I raise you a year question.
C
What's that?
A
Why are we trusting the testimony of a guy who was just caught and they're like, hey, why did you do it? He's like, I thought they stole the election from Trump. When you actually look at his record, the business he works for, his father's business. Business.
C
Yes.
A
The Trump administration in the first term, according to a Daily Wire Luke Rosiak investigation, because they were trying to free people from ICE custody. And then they had. Yes. Trayvon Martin's lawyer in the early part of the Biden administration trying to get Tennessee people arrested for being racist for asking questions about their bail bond company.
C
Yeah, yeah.
A
All of the sudden they went from being Democrat, anti Trump to, like, pro Trump for a day, and then back to anti Trump, pro Biden. What?
C
Yeah.
A
Okay. I sure believe that testimony today.
C
This is a tangled web, and I haven't had the chance to completely digest it yet.
A
You want to digest it? Have you seen him? He looks disgusting.
C
I know. I need all sorts of Nexium or something. But, no, you're able to figure this out so quickly with Dan Bongino and Cash Patel. There were people in the FBI. All it took was replacing the people doing the investigation, which generally means they're leaning on their shovels and doing nothing. And so why would they do that? Why would they do that, Tony? Why would it take this long?
A
Because you don't need another law. You just needed the right president, whether it's the border, whether it's the doj, whether it's the congressional getting rid of the Biden fuel economy nonsense. You just needed a man to give the middle finger to the Democrats and say, screw you, Americans are coming first.
C
You just needed somebody to do something. And I've said this since Reagan. I was. The first person I voted for was Reagan in high school, and he is the first president we've had go to Washington, D.C. and do something. Because all they do otherwise is take our money and say that we're going to fix Social Security, we're going to fix education, we're going to fix the infrastructure, we're going to fix this, we're going to fix the. The VA and all this. And they never fix anything. And then they were able to Put the pedal to the metal on government spending by using Covid to increase the size of government 40%. And guess what they did then? Nothing.
I'll say that.
A
Just a real emotional moment here. Get out the Sarah McLaughlin music just to really let me find it.
C
Hold on one second.
A
This is a special moment.
C
Yeah.
A
I really want everyone to know that when I see ICE going through Minneapolis list and just grabbing Somali migrants and illegal immigrants off the street, that's all I wanted. That's Christmas for me. So I'm already getting what I voted for.
C
Yeah.
A
Everything else part of the angel is bonus on the cake. But if I see the wonderful faces of fraudsters being arrested and hauled away, God bless.
C
Hold on a second. We gotta hear some Sarah McLaughlin.
Instead of puppies. You're going to see the, the Somalis being hauled away by.
A
Move them back to Somalia. But it's moving my heart right here, right now.
C
Yes, it is. All right, so we're going to take a break and come back more with with Tony Kennett from the Daily Signal in a second. This, my friends, is the Rob Carson show.
A
Capitol Attack hack Brian Cole Jr. A 30 year old white man from the D.C. suburbs is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious.
C
I guess the Jake Tapper is dreaming of a black Christmas then. I mean, he's got his colors mixed up.
A
Cones have to be fried.
I guess.
C
So you know what? He's got it. He's going to eventually figure out that the DC pipe bomber is a black guy in a couple of years like he did Joe Biden having dementia. It takes a couple of years to sink, apparently.
A
I mean, not his ratings. His ratings are sinking in real time. My goodness.
C
Yeah, but you know, when he looks at him, he says they're great. Just the opposite. I just.
A
And then he'll, he'll bring on Ilhan Omar and he tries to sound tough and no one knows what's going on. Nobody knows what's to do. By the way, you do realize that the producers for Jake Tapper are as confused as all get out. I swear to God, there are actual producers for his show that are so confused at how Tapper decides to do coverage, they don't know if they're working for him or Sesame street. It's good.
C
100%. We got a bunch of stuff going on now. I, I wanted to hear your take on this because you are. You work at the Heritage Foundation. By the way, Tony took me to meet everybody at the Heritage Foundation. I didn't realize they had a Row of studios called the Rush Limbaugh Studio Row. I thought that was pretty cool.
A
Well, we love to honor the greats. And of course, if you're going to get out there and do really good broadcasting and recording, then you got to have the right name on the building. That's just essential.
C
It's pretty cool. It was pretty cool. But you, you tend to do deep dives on a lot of stuff. This Supreme Court case that they were going to allow the redistricting map, another blow to the, to the Democrat party. And it sounds like the same thing's going on in Indiana. We're gonna be talking to John Fre at the top of the hour about this. So let's hear your thoughts on the Supreme Court victory for the Trump administration, which will effectively add five seats to the House for Republicans. The Democrats, of course, reacted with California gerrymandering and all that bullcrap, trying to really, I mean, hyper screwed Republicans because there's really no representation anyway. But your thoughts, my friend?
A
I have two thoughts. First of all, yeah. The states have the authority into the Constitution to redistrict however they want. And the only reason right now that there are states that are choosing to gerrymander or to organize any kind of political districting is because there are not enough voters who are out there essentially directly influencing the elections in their state. There's a lot of people who live in states where they are the opposite party of their particular representative. It happens. And all I can say is this. When the Democrats started playing the game of gerrymandering, Illinois and California and Massachusetts to Helen gone. They thought no one was ever going to respond. The only way to back away from the gerrymandering palooza is for Republican states to play the game better and harder. You say, but I don't like that. Too bad. It's politics.
C
Yeah. Bull crap. Yeah. I'm tired of playing softball here and.
A
Pretend that we're going to be fair while you're screwing over the system. No detente. Jerk.
C
Yeah. What did you think of Afton Ben getting her butt kicked up between her shoulders in Tennessee? A lot of people are saying, oh, there's a blue wave coming to blue wave. No, I. Bull crap. I disagree. The Democrat Party is offering nothing but being contrarian to Trump. Do we need to be cognizant? Yes. Do we need to be aware? Yes. But a lot of positives are happening. Big, beautiful bill kicking off in January. And also we got a, we got people cleaning up the voter rolls around the country. And then all this Fraud being exposed. So the Democrats aren't gonna be able to steal elections like they used to. What are your thoughts?
A
I'm going to say kind of. So, first of all, I want the Democrats to be really overconfident here.
C
Yes.
A
Because there were more people in downtown Nashville who came out to vote.
C
However.
A
However, I don't. I want them to get overconfident, because the most overconfident group heading into midterms loses. And what I want Republicans to do is be way more serious than they were in the first Trump administration around midterms.
C
Yes.
A
I want them to do the midterms GOP committee convention. That's what I want. I want big hullabaloo, all hands on deck, throwing the fire, because I don't want to leave this to chance. I don't want to say, oh, we have momentum. Screw that. All hands in right now. Nobody quits. Run through the finish line.
C
Yeah. And there's a lot of good things happening next year. Next year is the. What is it? The. How do you say, 250th anniversary is not sesquice and denial. It's the 250th anniversary. I don't.
A
I'm not. I'm not doing the fancy Latin language. It's the Pace anniversary. Or screw that, it's the 250th noises.
C
And, you know, the really cool thing is that they're going to have an MMA fight on the White House.
A
Yeah, used to. That was just Joe Biden and the dude with fake boobs.
C
That's true. That's true. I forgot about that. Oh, speaking of Joe Biden, Donald Trump doubling down on all the. The executive orders signed by Auto Pin. And. And it was. It was a feast of. Of his sycophant. Not sycophants, but the people who surrounded him going in and just getting all these. All of these pardons and whatnot. And I had heard rumors, and, you know, obviously there's rumors, but it wouldn't surprise me. They sold pardons. There's a reason why they did the pardoning. And Hunter couldn't sell his paintings. And there was no gravy train for the Biden family from Ukraine anymore. It would not put it past them to have sold pardons to people. People.
A
I also would love to put on the back of that as well, that every single time Joe Biden has been asked about a pardon on camera. Every time. I'm not joking. Every time. Excluding Hunter. Every time. Biden's response, without doubt. And I'm really not joking. Has been every time. Joe Biden has not been mentally aware of a single pardon that he signed. That's other than Hunter. Seriously, they've asked, like, what do you think about this?
C
Like, huh?
Yeah, Jamie Comer actually brought that up. He said that he had no idea at all, which is exactly what Barack Obama wanted when he said that. I'd like to sit in my basement, just pull the springs and talk to somebody who's here. That's exactly what happened. Nothing is not deliberate with Obama and he always does with a wink and a nod. And all of this is coming out just in time for Christmas. It's a great time to be alive in America. All this fraud and malfeasance being exposed. And I think great things are ahead. Tony Kennett, where can people find your glorious podcast and all of your awesome work?

C
Really? All right, brother. Well, have a glorious weekend. We'll talk again next week. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson ch Show.
It's snowing in Washington, dc.
Sing for me.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ah, he just. Everywhere you go, Michael Buble's voice was velvet, man. I'm.
I, I did some singing on social media. I did Little Elvis. Just go to all social media at Rob Carson Show. You hear that? Dick Turban. Dick Durbin. Rush used to call him Dick Turbin because he immediately stabbed our soldiers in the back when they were sent over to Iraq In Afghanistan. He did. He's a complete bastard because Joe. George Bush sent the troops over there and he was, you know, popular for a while before we discovered what a joke that was. But Dick Turban of stabbed our troops in the back. Now he's. They're real mad. The Democrats are real mad that we're exporting illegals. Illegal. Illegal aliens. Illegal aliens like the ones from Independence Day. And he's a real mad.
D
This moment in the history of our.
C
Nation is a terrible, challenging moment. No, it's awesome for so many people.
D
Not just the dreamers, but immigrants in general.
C
No, not really. Immigrants are fine. The illegal immigrants are. Are going to leave.
D
I've been both angry and heartbroken.
C
We don't even care.
D
Watch masked federal agents parading in their.
C
Combat uniforms with automatic weapons in the city of Chicago. I seen them in the state of Illinois that you made into a living hellhole. A living hellhole. Here is Stephen Miller, who's awesome, talking about why Democrats opened the southern border.
A
This was not a loophole. The Biden administration.
C
Yeah.
A
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas devised a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the country and then to escort them en masse across the border by the millions and to give them something known as parole, which gives them a work permit, which gives them a social, which gives them a Social Security number, which gives them access to the voting booth. This was the plan all along to get them here illegally so they can can get free government benefits, get hooked to welfare and be able to participate in American elections. This was an attack on democracy by the Democrat Party. It's the same attack that we see, Sean, when you have California, a sanctuary state that is refusing to turn over even illegal alien criminals and gang members to ice. Yes, these are illegal aliens in California who've been arrested by California, California police, by California law enforcement for serious crimes, for crimes against children, for felonies.
C
Yeah. This is why they didn't care about all the fentanyl coming across and all the people dying of fentanyl because they're just American citizens. Do you understand how evil the friggin Democrat Party is? Let them continue their death spiral into hell. Coming up, redistricting in Indiana. John Frederick's going to join us. Mary Walter joins us next. Alex. More comedy from Jim Gossett as well on this Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere.
