[Guest or Correspondent]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide web. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, it is our number two of the Rob Carson Show. And the number. I don't give up this number enough, you know, because I don't give up my number very often, particularly the ladies. 800-922-6680. Usually because they never call. That's one of the reasons why I don't give the number out to the ladies. But anyway, welcome to our number. Duh. Of the. Of the show. We got a lot of stuff on the plate today. Personal, personal note here. I got. Are you ready for this? I didn't even know these existed. I got an indoor smoker.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

What?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I got an indoor smoker. I lived in Kansas City for 10 years and I am, I am a graduate of Barbecue Institute. I competed in the American Royal actually. And I got. I didn't even know that indoor smokers existed. And I got an indoor smoker. And what it does, it recycles the smoke, you know, like the beautiful hickory or the beautiful, you know, pecan or whatever, depending on whether you're making pork or whether you're ribs or salmon or whatever. And it makes it into steam and you could smoke indoors. So I'm going to unpack that later, you might want to follow me on social media. I know it's not the most exciting thing in the world, but I am, I would consider it be not quite doctorate, but certainly masters in barbecue. Not kidding. I've been doing it for a very long time. Oh, and then also my desk that I ordered from overseas arrived yesterday. And after four months building the desk, ordering the desk, getting it through customs, paperwork beyond belief. I mean, my God, mind blowing mind. Literally. I paid more to get it into the country than the damn desk cost. We get it here. The only building in America that houses offices and whatnot that does not have a door wider than 36 inches. And I thought we took care of it in Asia, but no, we didn't. So the guys who came here to bring it upstairs had to tear the damn thing apart. They had to tear it apart and bring it upstairs. And I got to tell you, yesterday I, I thought my head was going to explode. I went home and I went to bed at 7:30 and I just said, you know what, I'm going to take my, my beams dream powder. And I said, I've got to sleep through this. I got to sleep through this. You know, whatever on Rumble, Jay Gree says, rob, what are you smoking this weekend? I'm smoking salmon. All right, let me, let me give you a real quick tip. This is all gonna do and I'm gonna move on to the topics of the day for the. You, first of all, you need to learn the ways of the smoke. If you do not know the ways of the smoke, it's not grilling. Grilling is just putting stuff on fire. Outside smoke. Learn the ways of the smoke. Get on it, Get a smoker. Do it. Salmon, pecan wood, 250 degrees, 40 minutes, big filet, There you go. Sea salt, fresh cracked pepper. Your head will explode. Your head will explode. Is so bloody good. You have no idea, you have no idea how good salmon is until you've smoked it with pecan wood. There you go. A little bit more on this. These child savings accounts for your kids. I wish I could do this retroactively for my generation because my parents, I think maybe at one point in my life we had a hundred dollar savings bond that, you know, you sit on for like 10 years and you get a hundred dollars, whatever. And of course that's already, that was going, that was all I got because my parents were poor. But now every kid's going to be able to get a savings account. And odd no Democrats voted for this.

[Guest or Correspondent]

To celebrate a thrilling new milestone for America, the first generation of Trump account children. Trump account children.

[Rob Carson]

Crazy, right?

[Guest or Correspondent]

For the first time ever.

[Rob Carson]

Are the Democrats saying this was racist or something? They got to be screaming it's racist. Maybe having some big violent protests somewhere, maybe out in front of the Federal Reserve.

[Guest or Correspondent]

But we're going to give every newborn American child a financial stake in the future Head Start life.

[Rob Carson]

And surely it's going to be discriminating.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Against blacks and Hispanics, a fair shot.

[Rob Carson]

At the American what for every child. Are you kidding me?

[Guest or Correspondent]

Something.

[Rob Carson]

Donald Trump was a Nazi or white supremacist or something like that we'll talk about.

[Guest or Correspondent]

So much that's so weird. At least not for the last four years, they haven't.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, we like our kids to grow up not to be aborted in the womb.

[Guest or Correspondent]

But now they're talking about it big. This last period of time, it's been unbelievable.

[Rob Carson]

It's pretty cool.

[Guest or Correspondent]

You see what's going on with our economy, the tremendous investments that's been made.

[Rob Carson]

It's going to be gigantic. Somebody shut the kid up in the background there. And a lot of American companies, the evil capitalist companies are contributing to.

[Guest or Correspondent]

When Trump Accounts officially launch on July 4th of this year, every parent will be able to activate their accounts and access the funds at the trump accounts.gov. so it's all set up, all ready to go?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. It's remarkable because Social Security is a joke. I'm not depending on Social Security. Generation X is the first generation to like say, oh, really? Social Security, okay, sure. I'm gonna be retiring on Social Security. So stupid. So stupid. And you know, I'm not. It'll be like a little supplemental play money, a little, little walk around money is what my social series gonna be. It's gonna be like, I don't know, maybe pay the house payment on a Airstream trailer on the beach or something, maybe something like that. But I am not depending on Social Security. Dear God, if you do. Good luck. Good luck with that because I don't. I've never talked to anybody who's on Social Security, who's living large, you know, able to travel the country or anything like that. Nope, not one little bit. Nicki Minaj, she's a rapper. And, and she's also a person of color. She should hate Donald Trump, right? No, no, no. She's a big deal. She's a big deal in the rap world. Right? And here she is yesterday. And I know she's done some offensive songs. I get it, I get it. I understand, I understand. But you know, sometimes people have come to Jesus moments. Sometimes they turn things around a little bit. So, you know, honestly, lighten up. Here she is.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Hello. Well, I don't know.

[Rob Carson]

She is cute as a bug's ear what to say.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

But I will say that, um, I am probably the president's number one fan.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's clearly that you're a white supremacist.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

And that's not going to change. And the, the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me, blah, blah, blah, at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.

[Rob Carson]

I know, it's kind of cool.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

And it's gonna motivate all of us to support him more. We're not going to let them with bullying him 100%.

[Rob Carson]

I love it, I love it, I love it. Guy named Mike Dell spoke yesterday about this. And. And I just thought this was an extraordinary presser because we've been sitting around here mentally masturbating about if we're gonna fix Social Security. Social Security's broke. Joe Biden went to Washington D.C. 50 years ago. Social Security still broke. Broke, broke. It's a giant pyramid scheme. It's a joke. All right. Yesterday was such a bellwether moment. After all of the nonsense, for 50 years, we have a president who's changing it. Changing it? Mike Dell.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

Well, four years ago, we set off on a journey to reconnect every child in America with the American dream. This president ran on a Main street agenda that too many people had been left out and left behind.

[Rob Carson]

And what is Washington D.C. done for you lately? Other than just looting the treasury, enriching themselves and keeping you on a sustenance living? If you're on Social Security, what is Washington D.C. done for you? Well, let me just answer the question.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

D word for Richard and his articulation of no tax on tips. That didn't help rich folks.

[Rob Carson]

I know that helps.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

No tax on overdime those left out and left behind. No tax on Social Security.

[Rob Carson]

Don't forget being able to write off the interest on a an American made car. And by the way, as a former car salesman, what's the number? The biggest part? What are you paying the first two to three years of your car loan? Interest.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

No tax on overtime. And when Ted Cruz authored the Invest America act in the Senate and Michael Dell partnered with me to bring the private sector to bear on this.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's what we need. We've been talking about privatizing Social Security. You can't privatize Social Security. You can't do it. You're Just going to steal the money. And of course, what is Social Security done? Nothing. Still a joke. That's Democrats probably because they're stealing money from the damn Social Security Administration. They steal money for anything else? Why the heck not? Of course, of course, of course. Here's Kevin o'. Leary. He's, you know, from Shark Tank and everything. Also brilliant, by the way. Should have gotten, should have gotten an Oscar nomination best supporting for Marty Supreme.

[Guest or Correspondent]

On behalf of all the entrepreneurs in America, I'd like to thank you, Mr. President, because we create 72% of the jobs, companies, 5 to 500 employees and all we care about is policy. I know we love policy, pro business policy. And these accounts are fantastic for independence and support. I thank you very much. It's all about the entrepreneur. And I think, you know that there's.

[Rob Carson]

A reason why stock market is just going through the ceiling and it is not even going to slow down what I tell you last year I said that in the vacuum of any good news reported by the liberal media, how are we going to get the message across? We have to overwhelm them with good news. And it's happening. And all the Democrats could do is whine and complain, say that isis, you know, racist Nazis and all of this, they are going to be drown out, drowned out this next year as things go. Just tremendously, tremendously. Well, absolutely remarkable. Absolutely remarkable. Let's move on to other stuff. Let's move on to other stuff here. This is kind of interesting. I don't know if you know about this, you know, this Alex Pretty, this guy who, you know, got shot by ICE about a week ago. The Democrats always look for the next thing. They always looking for a cannon fodder and all this. They had Renee Goode, you know, they had George Floyd, you know, they had Michael Brown. They had, you know, this guy Alex Pretty. And they always, you know, show up on the wrong side of history. They use people's deaths as some sort of fuel for a fire of nonsense and destruction. And they tried doing that in Minneapolis. Turns out old Alex Pretty, you know, even though everybody said he was so fantastic and so awesome, amazing, amazing guy. He actually attacked ICE about a week earlier with the gun on him and had a rib broken.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

Yeah, Aaron. And as a reminder, this is a physical clash that happened. This is from CNN between Alex pred federal agents over a week before he was fatally shot in Minneapolis this past weekend. So let's walk through that video. You see him there also tack, or rather hit it kicking, behaving like an.

[Rob Carson]

Unhinged lunatic gig on that kick the light out of an ICE vehicle as.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

It, as it drives away. There you're seeing the tackling of the federal agents. This whole interaction only lasts a few seconds.

[Rob Carson]

Now you'll also remember what I told you about the Chihuahua and the pit bull. The Chihuahua, he's a Chihuahua there, you know the fence, pit bulls in the, in the, in the truck there. And then the Chihuahua, you know, the doors open, the, the pit bull comes out and kicks the Chihuahuas butt and the Chihuahua didn't learn anything.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

So notice here in a bit that there does appear to be a gun that is tucked in his waistband.

[Rob Carson]

Lucky didn't get shot this time. Why didn't they shoot him that time? Why didn't they shoot him that time, huh? What I don't understand.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

It's unclear however if the agent's notice that they're used to murder him. The gun talked into his waistband. Now they do not disarm him. And as we see later in that.

[Rob Carson]

Video the like maybe something might have changed the second time. Maybe he might have reached for the gun or something.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

Agents walk away. It is unclear, Aaron, however, what happened before this video and what happens afterwards. This was filmed less than two miles from the city scene of the deadly encounter this past weekend. And as you can see from his attire, he is wearing similar clothing.

[Rob Carson]

Probably the same clothes haven't washed him.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

Either as he was again this past Saturday. Now Aaron, your viewers remember CNN previously reported just yesterday that Freddie did have an encounter with federal agents a week prior to Saturday where he suffered a broken rib. It is unclear however if the video we're seeing here is of that incident.

[Rob Carson]

The dumbest chihuahua that ever walked on the face of the earth. On the other side of the break, Ana Navarro slobbering love fest for this guy. And of course all of this again another, another instance where they end up looking like complete fools. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? Come on, it's okay with me.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Boom boom, boom.

[Rob Carson]

John Lee Hooker's original being redone by Big Head Todd and the monsters who I've been following for a very long time. Love, love, love love love love, love. So Alex Pretty, he was a innocent rectum in, in Minneapolis. He was a best. He was a nurse. He was a nurse and he was a patriot. And he was because he was inappropriate behavior at work. His wife left him because he was a psycho and he, he attacked ICE officers.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

A week earlier tonight a representative For Alex Preddy's family. Confirming this newly released video shows him interacting with federal agents on January 13, 11 days before he was fatally shot. The video shows him kicking a vehicle and agents tackling him to the ground. The video does not show what happened before the incident.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that is kind of weird. But you know, Anna Navarro, who's wrong about everything, Said he's dreamy.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

They chose to. They killed the wrong guy.

[Rob Carson]

Nope. She almost said murdered.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Right. Because this is the. This is like the. The perfect guy. Alex Clyde is the guy you would want.

[Rob Carson]

My God. Hold on. He's the perfect guy. You have had some bad experiences with men. Having you girlfriend not to date your daughter.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

They want the guy.

[Rob Carson]

What? Wait, what she said? What she said to date your daughter.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Right. Because this is like. This is like the perfect guy. Alex Preddy is the guy you would want to date your daughter.

[Rob Carson]

If Alex Brady tried to date my daughter, I would beat his ass.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

The 1. The guy you want your son to grow up to be a decent human being who was serving humanity, serving sick veterans who is.

[Rob Carson]

You know, there is not since he.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Got fired that has been said about that man that isn't wonderful. And so they can't malign him.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God. And this is Raphael Morenock. He went to go to the site where Alex Brady lost his life because, you know, did something stupid. And he. He calls it hallowed ground.

[Guest or Correspondent]

In a real sense, this is holy ground consecrated by blood.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, shut up with your Dr. Had.

[Guest or Correspondent]

To be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled. Not only for Alex Pretty, but for Renee. Good for George Floyd.

[Rob Carson]

George Floyd. Of course, George Floyd. Okay. Okay. Well, here's Christopher Ruffo talking about Alex pretty well.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

I think it follows a very familiar pattern. You know, we remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was a Maryland dad, a stellar immigrant from Latin America, turned out to be an MS.13 gang banger. We have the same thing here. Alex Freddy was supposed to be an innocent bystander. A heroic nurse who was just helping people. But in fact, he is a violent leftist agitator that was seeking armed conflict with the police. And he did it once. He brought a gun to the fight, he did it again. And whether or not courts will adjudicate whether it was a justified or an unjustified shooting, this portrait of this person that the left was trying to present.

[Rob Carson]

Man, your heroes suck. They really, really suck. Wow. Ilhan Omar got attacked by somebody with vinegar. Got with apple cider vinegar. One of the people who was nearby said it was toxic. Smelled like ammonia and vomited. I would hate to open a jar of pickles around that person because honestly, really? Wow. Holy hell. Here she is talking about the vinegar attack, which. Really, really? Okay, sure.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

At that moment, I remember feeling like.

[Rob Carson]

Someone was saying something if they discovered this guy's an insider. She could be in quite a pickle close to me. Okay, not worth it.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

And I looked up and there was a man plunging towards me.

[Rob Carson]

Plungin. After you cued him to come and do it. Plunging, Plunging.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

And there was like some liquid thing that I at the moment thought it was like a spit. And so I, you know, instinctively tried to, like, punch him.

[Rob Carson]

You went after him, which was the dumbest thing in the world because the guy's a leftist. He had his. He's got like, literally, he's got Black Lives Matter. He was at their stuff. It was a complete setup. And, you know, I know this because I'm not stupid. And she's looking for somebody because the DHS about to crawl up her butt. And so is the FBI because she's a criminal. She's a crooked politician. This is from Jim Gossett about Ilhan Omar being attacked by Finnegan.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Ilan needs a distraction from fraud. Says she was attacked. Yeah, okay, Jesse, but that's not the way it happened.

[Rob Carson]

Why is it not the biggest story in the country?

[Guest or Correspondent]

What?

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Guest or Correspondent]

It seems to be a great big lie.

[Rob Carson]

Why is it not the biggest story in the country today?

[Guest or Correspondent]

Maybe just to ruse.

[Rob Carson]

Where's the pipe bomber? Honestly, what the hell?

[Guest or Correspondent]

To get folks off her back.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, duh.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Victor Card Ellen Omar has played.

[Rob Carson]

Why aren't they talking about this criminal going after her?

[Guest or Correspondent]

Not going to work.

[Rob Carson]

Should be at the top of every newscast.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Hey, Omar, nice try.

[Rob Carson]

That's a bunch of crap is what it is.

[Guest or Correspondent]

You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you is all the real stories like Sandra's. She tells us. I've been hearing about relief factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words. And it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how relief factor could be a game changer too. Call 804 RELIEF. That's 804 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? Before we introduce Michael Charbonne, a a little, a little backpedaling from the the prime minister. I'm pleased today to announce that Canada and China have reached a preliminary but landmark trade agreement. We have commitments under Kuzma that not to pursue free trade agreements with non market economies without prior notification. We have no intention of doing that with China or any other non market economy. Michael Sharbon, the host of the Sharbon Report, I'm thinking maybe the 100% tariff threat made him kind of rethink his partnership with China. How you doing, man?

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

I'm doing good, brother. Yeah, it did. Carney was in a bit of a box, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Well, we lost all that canola and the, the farmers on the west were having a hell of a time. So he made a deal with China to do the canola. And there's also lobster and beef. Because the economy is not looking so good in Canada, we need those sales. And because he's in a bit of a fight with America, he had to make a deal. The problem is, Rob, he made a deal for 49,000 Chinese EV vehicles.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

You know what? There's several problems with this.

[Rob Carson]

Number one, is it because they're pieces of crap?

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Well, my understanding is they're just over $10,000 for the, for the vehicle. But there's a larger question, Hugo.

[Rob Carson]

Yup.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Does China have the ability to shut down all those vehicles remotely? Does it have the ability to monitor all those cameras?

[Rob Carson]

Yep.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

I mean, this is the same country that we didn't want to do deals with with Huawei. That's a little while back.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

The other problem, too, and this is something that President Trump identified, Canada just allowed China to buy a 5.5 billion dollar mineral mine with precious minerals. Like all these things are wrong. What Carney's trying to do I mean, he's on Defcon 5 to try and save himself. He's got a minority government, which is perilous. He could get outvoted, and he's got Alberta jumping up and down saying they want to leave, so.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I saw that. Now, real quick, did you see the parliamentary debate between Paul Ivier? He was back with Carney the other day. It was pretty good. It was pretty good to watch. I love Paulie. He just eats him alive, man.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Paulie M. Is the conservative banner carrier that we've been looking for. The unfortunate reality, though, Rob, is every time we have an election in Canada, it's like Groundhog Day. Everybody says all the Conservatives are coming through and we need the same year. And everybody capitulates. They elect the Liberals again. I don't get it.

[Rob Carson]

I don't either. I want. I want you to hear this real quick from Jesse the Body Ventura. How about since they just sense Trump dislikes Minnesota so bad and we're so out of control, let's join Canada? Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state of America and lose their health care like they said, I'd like to see Minnesota, all of us become Canadians. It's obvious Donald Trump don't want us. Now, I know we've. We've talked here. Alberta for Minnesota. I'd say, hell, yeah. I did a poll on it, by the way, Michael Trummel, and I said, would you want to trade Minnesota for Alberta? My poll on Twitter, 55.6%, hell yes. And 44%, hell no. That's what they said. What do you think? Yeah.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Well, first of all, Canada will never be the 51st state.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, well, we will know it's an even. We didn't even need to add one. We just got an even trade.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

No, don't forget, everybody, Alberta is using the same tactics that Donald Trump uses. You come in Defcon 5, you ask for the world, everybody gets all upset and everything, and then all of a sudden, like Greenland, everything is resolved. So this Alberta.

[Rob Carson]

Wait, hold on. Do you. I think the people of Alberta really want to get the gtfo. They don't want to be a part of this nonsense anymore. I think they're serious. I think. I think you are. I think you are discounting the average people of Alberta. I think that's folly.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

No, I have great respect for the people of Alberta. They are Canadians and we're Canadians. Many of them came over as Polish and Ukrainian immigrants. They are part of the fabric of our great country. The problem is that, as always, the west looks upon Ottawa and Ontario as the bad guys from the east and don't care what's happening in the West. I think what, what has to take place is there has to be some reconciliation because the Liberals put so many things in the mix to destroy what Alberta's all about. And that's farming and that's oil. So we got to do that. But as far as Jesse Venturis, Canada doesn't want any leering centres. We have millions of dollars of debt.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

My producer more than our share of illegal immigrants walking around getting handouts from our taxpayers. So we're not interested.

[Rob Carson]

Man, you guys must load them with, you must load them up with all sorts of free crap because if Somalians go to Minnesota, well, I mean, it would have to be really good to move to Canada. It's cold.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

All I've got to say is we're hoping that the immigration system, which was a catastrophe under Trudeau, it's trying to get itself back again. We, we are on the cusp of either getting involved in a recession. We've got to get this Kuznets thing resolved and get a trade deal done. And if he doesn't come through with all this, he will probably lose the next election.

[Rob Carson]

He should lose it. Dear God in heaven, are you people out of your friggin minds up there? The man is a tool. He's a fool. He's a tool. He looked like an idiot over in Davos. By the way, a polling Canada did a poll. Who would you prefer to lead? Canada? Are you ready for this? 62% said Trump, 38% said Carney.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Yeah, I mean Canadians. So don't forget, Rob, we listen to great radio shows like the Rob Carson show, we watch conservative television like Newsmax and Fox, and we are getting an impression that what Donald Trump is doing, although the mass media which we were afflicted with as well, don't forget the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Yeah, we have that same kind of left wing focus and interpretation. Canadians are getting fed up. They're trying to take our guns away.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I think it's. Listen, listen. This is going to impact Canada in a very good fashion. I think that Donald Trump played hardball, Poliev. He did not win the last time and I know there was some consternation between him and Trump. But this freedom and free market wave that's sweeping the world is going to sweep right over Canada and it's going to happen. You're teetering anyway. You are teetering anyway. The more you see the success here, and I tell you what this. I'll tell you what. Doug Ford. I saw Doug Ford the other day. He was down with bringing these stupid Chinese EVs in there, which would just destroy the Canadian auto industry up there. A lot of hard working Canadians put together great cars up there. And that fat doofus. And he is, he's a fat doof. He's always been a fat doofus. He's like, okay, we'll take those cars. Really? Really. Doug Ford?

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Well, he can't go against the Prime Minister. Whatever affects both of our. One of the points that President Trump brought up is that he doesn't want Canada to be a clearinghouse, which was what Mexico was for a little while, bringing in cheap, unauthorized goods and selling them very quietly back into the United States. The EV situation is, there's a, a definite concern. And like I said, there's lots of hair on that tennis ball. China have complete control of all the electronics. Can they shut all these EVs?

[Rob Carson]

Of course they can. Of course they can. Hey, Michael, we got to take a break. We got to take a break. Okay. More with Michael Sharbol coming up in just a moment. Let's take a break. This is the Rob Carson Show. Canada doesn't live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian. The Trump administration is weakness masquerading as strength.

[Guest or Correspondent]

And people need to understand that.

[Rob Carson]

I respect what Carney did because he.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Had courage of convictions. He stood up.

[Rob Carson]

And I think we need to stand.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Up in America and call this out with clarity.

[Rob Carson]

We can lose our republic as we know it.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Our country combined.

[Rob Carson]

The Carney Newsom Clown show in Davos, and both of them did face plants. Michael Charbone joins us on the Newsmax hotline. The host of the Charbonne Report, also our official Canadian correspondent. I got a joke on the, on the Rumble chat. You want to hear it, Michael?

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Go for it, brother.

[Rob Carson]

What's the difference between a Canadian and a canoe? The canoe tips. Thank you, by the way. By the way, you just got back from vacation. Now, Canadians, I don't know if you knew this, in the wintertime when it gets really cold up there, they go to much warmer destinations. Canada or the Minnesota and South Dakota. Big on that list. Big on that.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Rob Carson. I was sitting in a beautiful southern location, undisclosed.

[Rob Carson]

I saw your pictures. Where were you? Dominican Republic. Where were you?

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

That's right. That's right. And I was listening to you on my earbuds and laughing my head off. You were talking about taking someone came over for dinner and using a kid to open the door. I'm laughing. They're looking at me like I'm crazy.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, you were talking about the guy who. The guy who was arrested who used his kid, his 5 year old. He banned his 5 year old. The illegal. He said. He basically, I think what he did was the ICE officers came and they threw the kid. They said, here at the officers, they fell over like bowling pins and he ran in the other direction. And then apparently the ice, they use the kid as a battering ram because that's how evil they are.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

But that's the ironic street. It's terrible the way ICE is arresting children. I can't believe the stupid. The blatant misrepresentation. I mean, you know, I have multiple TV screens in my office. I have independent feeds. I watch things simultaneously.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

And to be able to actually, in real time, watch the spin. And on that razor's edge of a lie, Rob, you make. You. You make news entertaining and fun. That's why we don't.

[Rob Carson]

Michael, you heard what I said. I said that the reason why conservative comedy is ascending is because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. And I heard Gutfeld yesterday, and he's like, you know what I hear now? I'm just hearing, blah, blah, blah. I did a meme this morning and I said, when I hear of conservatives, when I hear Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, you know what I hear? Blah, blah, blah. I'm done taking them seriously. And I thought, by the way, you must admit that Trump's move in Minnesota was a frigging brilliant move. He defused the situation. He defused the rage machine by pulling out ice, and they're still getting this stuff accomplished.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Well, Tom Holman, the way he conducted that press conference, the way that he.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Escalated and all. Listen, that stupid mayor there, Fry, you can't say that you're not gonna. You're not gonna arrest illegals. But when you. When you look at what Gavin Newsom has done to California and the way that he props himself around, I. I'm embarrassed at the fact that Americans can even, even from a Democratic standpoint, look at Gavin Newsom as a viable policy.

[Rob Carson]

I know he's not. Dude, he's already over. He's done. He's done. He's done. He's done. By the way, Jacob Fry is the. Jacob Fry is the Justin Trudeau of. Of America. I think if they've decided to be, you know, gay, they would be the perfect couple for one another.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Yeah, but what are you going to do when the shutdown happens now? We're talking about that. The Democrats talking about shutting down, because.

[Rob Carson]

Whatever.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

So are you guys going to go through a shutdown for another four or five weeks?

[Rob Carson]

It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. It backfired. The last time it backfired. Did you see what happened? They slowed the. They thought they slowed the GDP growth in the fourth quarter to 5.5%.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

And you know what? None of, none of the Democrat outlets could say that what Donald Trump has done to the economy and what coming around corner is going to fundamentally blow.

[Rob Carson]

Them out of the water.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

I know it is.

[Rob Carson]

I know it is, brother.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Just hope, I hope that they don't screw this up because the midterms are in November. They've got a lot of time telling America what's going good, what's getting better.

[Rob Carson]

It's going to happen, brother. Here's a. Michael. Michael. The good news is going to be so overwhelming they can't cover it up like. Like these child savings accounts, which is basically making Social Security obsolete. It's been a joke from day one. My generation doesn't depend on it and what it does. Amazing. One other thing I want to mention here. Denmark lauds constructive talks with us over Greenland. Now we're back on track. Did you hear about that? The Danish prime minister is like, very constructive. Looks like we've. We've made some. And look what he did with that. We didn't even need to evade Greenland and take it away from. Or buy it from him. It's pretty amazing.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

But he was brilliant in the way that I know if I want to rob, if I want to sell a car for 10 grand. I left I listed for 15.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

I talked me down. If I get 12, I won. Donald Trump walks in DEFCON 5. We're gonna take it over. We're gonna explode it.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

And look at where we at now. He starts to be interested. He's.

[Guest or Correspondent]

He's brilliant.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

And people hate that because he's a little bombastic and a little me, me, me. But he gets the job done in the end. That's what people hate about this is.

[Rob Carson]

This is why I moved here, Michael. You know, this is why I moved here because I want to witness this history. It's going to be amazing. It really is going to be amazing. By the way, we are hinting at the possibility of a listener excursion. The 250th year of America. Maybe here in D.C. with me. You should come down.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

I'd love to. I want to come and see. I want and, and I've got to make Canadian bacon for you so you can really feel what real back bacon tastes like.

[Rob Carson]

That just sounded kind of kinky anyway. And you know, it's really amazing down here in the States. You don't need to drill it all. You don't need to drill a hole in the ice to fish. It's crazy what.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

I was talking to these people in these people. Oh, here, here's something else. I want to tell you this real.

[Rob Carson]

Quick, real quick, real quick.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

The amount of people that were from Costa Rica, from Nicaragua, Venezuela and, and, and alike, all Spanish speaking to the single person. You know, I love to talk politics. Single person. They said what Donald Trump did was the best thing that ever could have happened for their country.

[Rob Carson]

I know, brother. 100%. 100%. Michael, great to talk to you, bro. Where can people find you on social media and your show the Charlotte will.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Report.Com or you can see me on YouTube and I'm generally on newsmax every Sunday in the afternoon. Rob Carson, thanks for the opportunity. Appreciate you and your listeners.

[Rob Carson]

You better. Brothers, take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Show.

[Rob Carson]

Gold is at.

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

Are you ready?

[Rob Carson]

I mean this is. This is unbelievable. $5,350. Gold is at $5,350 today. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Silver's at 114. I never thought I'd say that. Gold. Listen, I never. I've always thought about gold. Thought about gold. You know, gold, whatever. Like I told you. Dave Ramsey, he says it's a snuggie investor. It's not a snuggie anymore. It's real. It's gigantic. It's $5,300. 50, $400. Could be 56 by tomorrow. Newsmax was saying 56. Get some before it becomes unaffordable. Get some words to live by. Not in my case anyway. Here you go. Text my name. Rob to 9,898 for nine eight. For Burch Gold. Nine eight nine eight nine eight. Very easy. Very easy to do. They've been so blasted busy. I talked to the news or not the news, the Birch gold representative earlier today and they just. They just are on the phone all day, people buying gold right now because it is the hottest commodity. It's the hottest commodity out there. It is the hottest commodity out there. Gold is. There's no doubt about it. And right now, if you're a first time gold buyer until tomorrow, checks my name Rob to 989-898. Do that. You're eligible up to $10,000 in a rebate, but it's only until tomorrow. That's it. That's all. That's that. So get on it. This is your last opportunity to do that. If you would text my name, Rob, to 989-898 for Birch Gold. For Birch Gold. You guys hear about this woman the other day, the Somali woman? She said she was called the N word and she assaulted and all that in. In custody up there. And she said this to me.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Being Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

It's.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

It's a lot.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

It's like. It's a.

[Rob Carson]

It's a.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

It's an interesting thing.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

It's like a cultural fusion.

[News Analyst or Reporter]

It's kind of like the bananas and rice.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Her name is Nazra Ahmed, and she has been arrested for attacking ice, by the way, she's in custody right now, and south park has already done a bit about her.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

I was basically raised on bananas and rice, okay. In a Somali daycare, which was very formative. And people don't get that. That's like, culture, nutrition. So when I speak, I speak from.

[Rob Carson]

In light of recent conversations, we are proposing a pilot program to transition public school lunches to bananas and rice.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Wait, what?

[Rob Carson]

This is about inclusion?

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

This is about listening.

[Rob Carson]

And frankly, the people are demanding. Like bananas and rice. Yes.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

Excited to announce new products. Bananas and rice, available at select Walmarts nationwide.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, what happened to the bananas and rice?

[Michael Charbonne (Canadian Correspondent)]

All empty.

[Rob Carson]

Every single one. No way.

[News or Report Segment Voice]

This can't be real.

[Rob Carson]

Bananas and rice gone. Guys, you're seeing this like there's nothing, just cardboard. Look, this Internet guy is simply wrong. We have strict oversight. Yeah, they got bananas and rice, and then it disappeared from the warehouse. That's south park already making fun of Somalia and bananas and rice. I'll stick to my cow Chocula, thank you very much. Let's take a break and come back. Last hour, the Rob Carson. Joe Gordon Chang joins us. Among other things. Don't go anywhere.
