Rob Carson
Hold it. Now. You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking, and funny show
- [01:42]
in America on air and on the World Wide Web.
- [01:47]
This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hello and welcome to Monday. How are you? Man, I got to tell you, I've been in here for like five, six hours. I still, you know, I'm still digging through all of the stuff to. To get to the show today. You know, honestly, my kingdom for a slow news day. Unfortunately, we don't have that. You know, the ICE agents have been deployed to airports around the country to help because so many TSA agents are being used by as pawns by the Democrat Party. Because the Democrat party doesn't give a rat's behind if people go without a paycheck because they never have to worry about it. They never have to worry about it because they're the bourgeoisie and we're the proletariat. So the little people can eat crumbs. They don'. Care. They just don't care. So Donald Trump Says, okay, we'll send some ICE agents in there. And Democrats are saying really, really stupid crap like for instance, that ICE agents are going to start killing people in America. Dick Blumenthal, Danang Dick on Sunday said that ICE agents are going to shoot and kill families in airports. Honestly, shut your darn mouth. I could say things a lot worse, but I'm not going to do that right now. How dare you say such a thing. What an absurd and ridiculous thing to say that I agents are going to go to America's airports and shoot families and whatnot. And I've got a bunch of audio for these idiots, these fear mongers who are so terrified that they're being uncovered for all of their malfeasance and their absolute corruption and what they did to our country by opening the southern border and allowing illegals by the tens of millions to come in. It's very obvious. Everybody gets it now. Even Democrats know now that the Democrat Party opened the southern border to destroy the country and to perpetuate the their power for decades to come. We all get it. We all understand it. And every one of your stupid arguments makes it more obvious that what you have done to us. And we are going to beat you into the pits of hell. That's it. We're going to drive you into the pits of hell where you belong for all of the awful things that you have done. And the Democrat Party is against Trump on everything, regardless of how good it is about clothing. The southern border, they haven't said anything good about the southern border be closed. They haven't said anything about the murder rate being the lowest in 126 years. For God's sake. Every weekend we no longer hear that, you know, a dozen people have been murdered in Chicago. We don't hear that anymore. Washington, D.C. is remarkable. I went into Georgetown. It was a ghost town, you know, six, seven months ago. And now it's loaded with people. And then of course, there's the war or the whatever you want to call it with Iran, that more and more people, including the eu, including NATO, are realizing. Oh yeah, Iran was a real threat. A real, real threat. A real threat. Yeah, including they were able to launch a missile and it went to our air base. It's not our air base. It's Britain's air base in Diego Garcia, about 2,000 miles. And the people in Europe are beginning to realize, holy hell, if it could hit Diego Garcia, it could hit Paris. Oh, my God, it could hit Paris. It looks like Iran has been lying to us about those missiles. And Stuff. So Donald Trump once again is right and the world is beginning to, you know, recognize this. I understand that Donald Trump has called off the destruction of power plants in the, in the country of Iran because Iran right now has its tail between its legs. Here's the President being asked about a ceasefire and explaining exactly what happens when a ceasefire is demanded. It's always demanded. By who? The side who's getting their, their butts kicked. We won't have that. I want to get that in one second. We will try to get that played. But anyway, yeah, he's called for a ceasefire because the Iranians are getting their tails kicked up between their legs. I will have to figure out what's wrong with my audio source here before the end of the radio program. Oh, I know what it is. I know exactly what it is. It's right here. Here is the, Here is the President of the United States talking about all of this as my software freezes up on me. Okay, I'll get out of the software for a second, restart that one second and, and then we'll get it going. But anyway, basically, we are getting our. Iran is getting its tail kicked out, kicked up between its legs. And whenever you're losing, that's when you beg for a cease fire. And Donald Trump has given a cease fire. At least he's not going to destroy the Iranian power structure because Iran has said, you know, they will, they will cease what they're doing anyway. We're going to re, redo my software here. Tehran has threatened to escalate strikes on energy infrastructure and target critical water desalinization facilities should Donald Trump make good on a promise to obliterate the country's power plants. That was the headline from this weekend, but apparently that has been, that has been changed since that. Then that was since that was said. Like I said, I got to reboot my computer. I apologize. These things happen. You know, when these things happen, you're kind of standing naked on stage and you have no, you know, you've got to kind of shuffle through things as you get it. Here is hopefully Donald Trump on why Iran was demanding a cease fire. Cease fire.
- [07:01]
Jerry Insurance Narrator
What do you think?
- [07:01]
Rob Carson
Well, look, we can have dialogue, but we don't. I don't want to do a cease fire. You know, you don't do a cease fire when you're literally obliterated the other side. Yeah, they don't have a navy, they don't have an air force. They don't have any equipment to. They don't have any spotters. They don't have anti aircraft, they don't have radar. And their leaders have all been killed at every level. We're not looking to do that. Thank you.
- [07:25]
But I think if anything, he was doing this out of mercy for the, for the Iranian people because he didn't want to originally go after the, the energy infrastructure of the country because he wanted to be Iranian people, to be able to pick up the pieces and put the country back together. That's why we haven't just destroyed the far. What is it, the, the island with all the oil. We haven't destroyed that. Because he wants the Iranian people to be able to pick up when things are over, when the, when the mullahs are out of power. This is. I got to restart the stream here. Okay, here we go. One more time. Not sure how I'm going to do that, but I will get to it in. But the, the. Hold on one second. Let me just find it here real quick. I apologize for this, guys. We kind of just hit a roadblock for some odd reason with the stream and everything. But I will get right back on it. Here it is. Right back on it. One second here. As I continue to, to talk. This is Maria Bartiromo. This weekend, Donald Trump had talked to him. She had talked to him about what was possibly happening.
- [08:29]
Maria Bartiromo
I just spoke with President Trump and he told me that Iran wants to make a deal, said that the talks have been ongoing. I said, how much longer will this conflict go on? He said the talks. I said five days to halt or postpone strikes on the electrical infrastructure. It could happen sooner, he said, but I have put down five days. I asked him what his reaction is to Iranian state television saying that there are no talks. And he said he's not sure what they are referring to because the most recent talks happened in fact last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and their counterparts. When I asked about the Iranian TV saying that no talks have happened, he said it's hard to get any information there because of the US Is blowing up so much of their infrastructure. So again, he wasn't sure whether Iran state TV was talking about because the most recent talks he said happened last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Again, the President just told me moments ago that the Iranians want to do a deal badly.
- [09:44]
Rob Carson
Okay, so there you go. That's the reason why Donald Trump has not is stopped and given five days to the Iranians with regard to the destroying of their, of their energy infrastructure. He's given them a little bit of breathing room. Hopefully this will result in them stepping down from power and ushering in some sort of democracy. This is Lindsey Graham yesterday talking about the end of the Ayatollah.
- [10:09]
Lindsey Graham
What are you going to negotiate Iran with? What I want to do is contain them, take their missile program and keep it blown up. Make sure they can never sprint out to a nuke. Make sure they have no money to support terrorism. Control the island and let them die on a vine and hopefully the people will rise up. What I'm looking for is defanging Iran so we can move to peace. The Iranian people one day will have ability to take their country back.
- [10:33]
Rob Carson
But we have the that's got to happen.
- [10:34]
Lindsey Graham
Best chance in 2,000 years when Iran, Iran is neutralized, for Saudi and Israel to recognize each other, end the Arab, Israeli conflict. That is my goal. That is President Trump's goal. 2026 could be the biggest year since 1945 if we neutralize Iran. Don't let him do it again.
- [10:53]
Rob Carson
Now I'm hearing that echoed more and more in the, in the media and on the conservative media. Victor Davis Hansen, I've got another great piece from him over the weekend. And I told you, when Donald Trump was elected, I said, when he gets elected, what I tell you, I said new era of freedom and patriotism was going to spread around the world. And it's happening and it's happening and it's happening. There's no denying that it is happening. There are still some hold ups around the world. Great Britain is still in deep agua, hot agua. Germany is starting to recognize the invasion that has happened in so many countries around the world, just like it happened here in the United States. Wholesale invasion of illegals, especially radical Islamists. Australia is beginning to recognize this. The United States has recognized this. And it appears that we may have turned this back just in the brink of time. All right, so here's what we're doing. We're going to take a break. I'm going to reboot everything here, apologize for the little bump there. I think I kind of did a pretty good job improvising while the computer was melting down. But we're going to get to all of this. We got three guests today. We're going to give two, including Blaine Holt. He's going to join us. General Blaine, hold on. The progress of what's happening in Iran, how close we are to wrapping this thing up. The number here is 800-922-6680. If you want to chime in, let's take a break and come Back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
- [12:12]
The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com listen for details.
- [12:21]
It is a Monday on the Rob Carson show and we got a lot of, a lot of balls in the air, ladies and gentlemen. A lot of balls in the air. This is Victor Davis Hansen over the weekend giving an update as to where we are with regard to the, the war in Iran and, and I'll tell you, and a video on all my social media about this. You know that you are winning. When NATO and the EU says they want to help out, all of a sudden they're such fair weather friends. You have to realize that they would never come in well to do any heavy lifting. They would never want to risk anything. And you know, so it is a kind of a backhanded way of supporting what we're doing and while admitting that we are actually doing everything that Donald Trump said we were going to do. And for all of you who started to doubt this, and I don't think there's anybody who's listening to me right now, but for all of the people like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson and, and Joe Kent, all of you who, who threw up your hands and ran like little girl, now I want to insult little girls. Little girls are awesome. Like little wuss buckets, like little soy boys and said, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Donald Trump got us into a war. It's going to be a long war. Oh, it's going to be. No, you see what the thing is, Donald Trump, when he says something, he does it. Now is there, is there any time that he has said he's going to do something? He hasn't done it. Come on, what has he not done? He said he's going to lower drug prices created Trump RX dropped prices of drugs dramatically for everything. Right now, in vitro fertilization is dirt cheap compared to where it used to be. Also all of your, your GLPs and all that crap that you're taking, all sorts of drugs are all cheap. Donald Trump, he said is going to do it. Didn't he say he was going to shut the southern border? Didn't he say he was going to bring back manufacturing to the United. I mean, honestly, how could you possibly. You're not MAGA if you don't. That Donald Trump said that this was gonna end in four to six weeks and minute and Joe Ken, honestly, your career is over, brah. Your career is over, bruh. Yeah, I called you bruh. You know, cuz, I'm so Dope, but anyway. And Megyn Kelly, honestly, you're irrelevant. Tucker Carlson, Dear God, man, I don't know what you're. You're go live on an island with Candace Owens, call it crazy town. I don't even know. I don't even know what you call it. But honestly, once you, you throw up your hands like this, then you're just gonna be left, you're going to be left in the dustbin of history. Your career is going to be over and you're going to be proven to be wrong. The reason why Donald Trump has 100% support from MAGA is because we've been through hell. We have been through hell the last 10 years. Called MAGA fascists enemies of democracy. We have been censored, we have been surveilled. We have had our families destroyed because of our politics. We've had our marriages destroyed because of our politics. We watched as our candidate, they sic every arm of the deep state after him, including that Robert Mueller. And I'm glad that Donald Trump is saying, you know what, I'm not going to eulogize Robert Mueller in a good way because, you know, a lot of us, we spend our entire lives, we try to evolve as people, to become better people by the time we die. So we have redemption when we pass. Then there are some people who just get worse. And I don't care. What about his, his medals of whatever in, in combat? It was great. It was wonderful. Thank you for your service. But you tried to put a man in jail for nothing. You tried to derail political movement for nothing. You spent $40 million on an something that it was disproven in December of 2015 presented to Barack Obama. And Barack Obama said, I don't care, make something up. So you wasted $40 million chasing nothing. What did you bill for? What did your lawyers bill for? There was no evidence of Russia collusion. It already been proven in December of 2015. But Barack Obama said run with it and you ran with it. So honestly, to hell with you on the day of your death. Do you expect Donald Trump to somehow say you're a great and honorable. No, no. Ridiculous. Sorry. Get a little worked up here. Back to the original point. Donald Trump said that we were going to do this in four to six weeks. Why did he say we were going to get Iran and we're going to take them down in four to six weeks? Because he went to his commanders and he said, you know how I feel about boots on the ground. We are not going to put boots on the Ground, can we do this? Yes, sir. How long will it take? Four to six weeks, sir. All right, let's do it. And he took two months, three months, giving Iran every ultimatum, every opportun, to do what we asked them to do, to get out of the nuke business, to get out of the missile business, to get out of the terror business. And every single time, they stuck up their middle finger at us. And Donald Trump said, okay, and it took two months to get the ships and everything over there. And they gathered off the coast just like they did in Venezuela, and then they pulled the trigger. And then they started kicking butt. And on day one, Democrats started saying it was a disaster. They're going to be left in the dustbin of history. Here is Victor Davis Hanson with the state of what we're doing in Iran and the world.
- [17:17]
Victor Davis Hanson
There's enough evidence to see how things are really going. Europeans would never agree to go anywhere near Iran unless they thought the tide was turning and they wanted, they think that we're going to win, otherwise they would keep still. And the reason that the petro nations of the Gulf survive is they have their finger in the wind and they're very attuned to the climate. And when you have Al Jazeera praising the United States bombing campaign and saying that it's been underestimated and it's brilliant and effective, you get the feeling that they think not only should the United States finish the job, but it can and will finish the job. And then when you start to see tactical aircraft, imagine that, like Warthogs and Apaches, that means that they're offering almost ground and sea support to hit targets. There's nothing.
- [18:06]
Rob Carson
I believe we're in the week four of this, by the way.
- [18:09]
Victor Davis Hanson
There's no defense at all when you have that type of aircraft flying at will in Iranian airspace. So you put it all together, and
- [18:17]
Rob Carson
I think it means that we're kicking their butts.
- [18:19]
Victor Davis Hanson
It's pretty clear that this rope, a dope strategy that they have that we're going to tire before they are, is dependent on just public opinion. The midterms in the United States. And if Trump sees it through, and I think he will, I think they're going to fall pretty soon.
- [18:39]
Rob Carson
Victor Davis Hansen. And this is Jim Gossett as the president of the Rob Carson Show.
- [18:44]
The straight Iran closed it. Now ships can't get through it. The power plants, I will bomb them. Just watch. I will do it.
- [18:58]
Because he said he was going to.
- [19:00]
48 hours. Iran has to choose.
- [19:05]
Giving them five days now they better
- [19:08]
reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- [19:13]
And they're going to.
- [19:14]
And they are oil tankers. They're blocking.
- [19:17]
They blinked.
- [19:19]
Won't be tolerated. It's caused gas prices to be elevated. This is your last chance. Got so much to lose if you don't reopen the straight.
- [19:44]
There you go.
- [19:47]
Dr. John Mills
Come on, Jim.
- [19:51]
Rob Carson
There you go. So now the, the Iranians are bending. By the way, did you see some of the footage over the weekend with women in Iran taking off their hijabs and walking around on the streets? I am praying that, that this, this regime is done, is toast. And I, and I'm also relying on Israel, Israel to help usher. We had a new regime. We're not into the regime change thing, by the way, but Israel's helping with that, by the way. People on the ground are pointing out IRCG members and reporting it to Israel intelligence, and they're picking them off with drones one by one. So the IRCG and all of the remnants of the ayatollah's regime are now being reported on by the people to the Israeli intelligence who are on the ground and they're being taken out like that. That is good news. Now we've got a lot of good stuff to get to. Brad Cooper has an update on what's going on over there. Mark, Rudy with NATO, he says, yeah, you know, Donald Trump was right to attack Iran when he did. There's no doubt about it anymore. You can complain all you want. Ted Cruz, he helped to convince Donald Trump to attack Iran. We'll share all of that and more on the Rob Carson Show Monday edition. Don't go anywhere.

It is a Monday edition of the Rob Carson Show. I could think of no better way to introduce our next guest, John Mills. Dr. John Mills has written a book called Woke, a critique of social justice ideology. Hardcore cover then this California professor who was featured this weekend a number of media outlets. And her name is James O. Quinn or Jamie. Jamie O. Quinn could be James might have been born James. Who the hell knows? An assistant sociology professor at Cal State San Bernardino who made an unusual declaration during a meeting of the meeting of the California State University Board of Trustees. Just listen.
- [22:52]
Jamie O. Quinn
Sex is a classification system used to reproduce social inequalities based on perceived biological.
- [22:58]
Rob Carson
Oh, my God. That's right.
- [22:59]
Jamie O. Quinn
From the cel characteristics, male and female are binaries on a spectrum in which about one in every.
- [23:08]
Rob Carson
No, no. Light and X rays are on a spectrum.
- [23:11]
Jamie O. Quinn
1500 babies born in the.
- [23:13]
Rob Carson
You're on some kind of spectrum. And it's something to do with sanity.
- [23:15]
Jamie O. Quinn
United States does not fall on. And the idea that I have to get up here and say that trans women are women and that's what I have to use my time to do is absurd. Shame.
- [23:28]
Rob Carson
What you're saying is absurd.
- [23:31]
Jamie O. Quinn
Shame on all of you. And shame on you for using lesbian politics as a front for your transphobia because this lesbian has had plenty of girlfriends with penises.
- [23:43]
Rob Carson
It's kind of a circuitous way to be attracted to men to say that the men in your life are actually lesbians with penises. I don't know. Anyway, Dr. John Mills, welcome to the Rob Carson Show. How are you today, sir?
- [23:57]
Dr. John Mills
Oh, thank you for having me on.
- [23:59]
Rob Carson
What did you think of that? I mean, this is how upside down that the absurd are calling us absurd. The world is upside down. And I'm glad to see. I'm hoping that this sort of nonsense is beginning to be more nonsensical to most people. What are your thoughts on that?
- [24:19]
Dr. John Mills
Yes, well, we certainly do talk about. About transgenderism in the book. It certainly has taken on a certain type of lunacy that. You just played that tape. The thing is that this is a complex issue and there are people out there who generally are suffering. They have to work out these conflicts the best they can. And a very small minority of people decide that they would like to, you know, transition and live in another gendered body. But the notion of biological sex is different than the notion of gender. And so this is where things become complex. Yeah, but when you try to say that there's no such thing as biological sex and it's mere merely a social construction. This is, I think, the heart of what drives people crazy.
- [25:26]
Victor Davis Hanson
And
- [25:28]
Dr. John Mills
it creates, you know, it creates unnecessary, you know, antagonism and animosity for the other by insisting that that's the case.
- [25:38]
Rob Carson
Isn't that the point of it, though? Isn't that really the point of it? I mean, you've written this book. You're talking about wokeism, you're talking about identity politics. You're talking about diversity, equity and inclusion. All these movements, whiteness, the gender, critical feminism, transgenderism, cancel culture. Isn't this all meant to divide us? Isn't that what it's really all about?
- [26:02]
Dr. John Mills
Yeah, certainly. Unfortunately, we are living in a divided society at this stage based upon these culture wars. And whether or not the movement is intended, meaning the woke movement, or critical social justice, the theory is intended to divide people, perhaps can be debated, but there's a clear intent to want to de center, deconstruct, destabilize once established customs and norms that govern society, or at least did.
- [26:45]
Rob Carson
Yeah,
- [26:47]
Dr. John Mills
a lot of this is based upon very simple binary thinking that one group, you know, is oppressing another group and the other group is the victim. And until we start to, you know, analyze and critique this very simplistic ideology, we're not going to get anywhere.
- [27:08]
Rob Carson
Well, where did this come from? Okay, because listen, my son was, I think, 12 or 13 years old. This is about 12, 13 years ago. I was living in Washington, D.C. and all sudden, out of nowhere, out of nowhere, the concept of white privilege popped up. And this was very troubling for me because he went to an elementary school and a middle school and a high school that were 10% white. And his. His friends were all. They didn't care about race or whatever. I'm from Gen X. We were the first generation that didn't care really about it. We knew we were a melting pot. We didn't care about interracial dating. O' Hara had kissed Kirk when we were infants, and we didn't even think about it. We watched the Jeffersons, we watched Roots, we watched Good Times, we watched all in the Family, we watched America, Schoolhouse Rock, and all of this. And all of this came around. And I began to see hints of it when I was in college, but it really hit about 10, 12 years ago, this wokeism, this social justice nonsense. So why did this happen? Why did this happen when it did, when so much healing had happened? And why did, like, for instance, in the year 2000 it become 1968 all over again with George Floyd.
- [28:20]
Dr. John Mills
Yes. Well, that I think is one of the decisive factors that sparked revival of this type of protest movement. But I would imagine that this type of thinking started to happen about 20 years ago and particularly within the progressive political left and how it infiltrated the humanities and social sciences in universities and colleges. And then, you know, then you have a very, you know, deliberate yet calculated way of introducing ideas and concepts and humanities. And then when, then it gets into popular culture and it gets into private industry and then you had the George Floyd murder. The pandemic also is what everybody just comes out of the woodwork with all their frustrations and resentment and feelings of helplessness. And I think that's when the momentum really took off.
- [29:39]
Rob Carson
Well, I think that we've seen the peak of this when we were in the middle of the denouement. I think it's on the way out. I think that we had an overcorrection. I believe that the left and, and those affiliated with it overplayed their hands, as they usually do. But the book is called Woke A Critique of Social Justice Ideology, and it's available now on Amazon, among other places. Dr. John Mills, thanks for being on the show today, man. I appreciate you.
- [30:05]
Dr. John Mills
Oh, thank you for having me on.
- [30:07]
Rob Carson
All right, have a good day. Let's go ahead and take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, no, no, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington, D.C. area, which is like sleeping on the sponge in your sink. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you're you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my Ghostbed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging, it's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed, you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson.

- [35:56]
Admiral Brad Cooper
Hi, I'm Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. central Command here for my fourth update on.
- [36:01]
Rob Carson
I call him a general. He's an admiral.
- [36:02]
Admiral Brad Cooper
Epic Fury. On day 22 of combat operations, US forces continue to take bold action and will remain on plan to open eliminate Iran's ability to project meaningful power outside its borders.
- [36:15]
Rob Carson
Then that amazing. Donald Trump said four to six weeks. We're four weeks in.
- [36:19]
Admiral Brad Cooper
Just two days ago, the U.S. army launched the longest field artillery strike in army combat history. Using precision strike missiles. The strike took out Iranian military infrastructure, demonstrating the US Military's unmatched reach.
- [36:33]
Rob Carson
And by the way, Iran blinked today. Donald Trump said, you leave the Straits of Horror Moose open or we're going to bomb this not out of your power infrastructure. And they have since he has put that off for five days because Iran is blinking. This is big. This is Mark Ruti of NATO admitting it was the right thing for Donald Trump and Israel, our militaries to go after Iran when we did. But Israel says these were intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit Berlin, Paris and Rome. Does NATO share that Israeli assessment?
- [37:09]
Mark Rudy
We cannot confirm that at the moment. So we are looking into that. But if this would be true, it is the more evidence that what the president is doing here, taking out the ballistic missile capability, taking out the nuclear capability from Iran is crucial and exactly as the ambassador just said. Ambassador Waltz, we have seen with North Korea, if we negotiate for too long, you might pass the moment where you can still get this thing done.
- [37:35]
Rob Carson
We struck at the right time when we needed to to stop them.
- [37:38]
Mark Rudy
Australia now has to necessarily nuclear capability. If Iran would have the nuclear capability, including together with the missile capability, it will be a direct threat, a existential threat.
- [37:48]
Rob Carson
There you go. There's Mark Rudy saying Iran was an existential threat. And there was no doubt about it. Stick it. Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson. Here's Mike Waltz. He is the the U.S. ambassador to the United nations talking about where Iran was and how they were lying about their missile capabilities.
- [38:06]
Mike Waltz
I can tell you the UK just condemned the firing of an inter immediate range ballistic missile at Diego Garcia. That same type of missile Iran has lied about in terms of its development. So they were not developing yet. They just lied yet. They just did it. Not only could it hit Diego Garcia, it could hit capitals in Europe. And Margaret, the technology, the booster technology that Iran has been hiding behind its space program. I don't think we're going to see Iranian astronauts on the moon anytime soon.
- [38:39]
Rob Carson
Yeah, yeah. The The Iranian astronauts on the moon, you know, they were developing long range missiles and they were getting ready to put a nuke on the one of them because they had enough nuclear material for at least 10 or 11 missiles. And we did the right thing. There you go. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show, October 25th through the 29th this year, 250th anniversary. Come and spend it with me. Five days, four nights, six meals, transportation. We're going to take it all in. Travelwithrob.net travelwithrob.net or you can call 8003-8331-3180-0383-3131. It's going to be an amazing time. I can't wait. I just can't wait. Prince Pahlavi, he's the crown prince of Iran, talking about going to Iran right now. It's a pretty ballsy of them to do this because, you know, the IRCG is still around and whatnot. But he says he's ready to go in. And I'm hoping that this happens very soon, that the ayatollah and all of his henchmen will be gone. And Iran, we will witness history as Iran is free.
- [39:50]
Prince Pahlavi
If you were to give me the opportunity to say to the Iranian people and the world, when is it that I go back there? It will be the first minute I get the opportunity to do that. And that has to be, of course, orchestrated property properly, I'm ready to go there as soon as possible. I would like to be there whether it is before the regime collapses or right after the regime collapses. It is important for me to be among my compatriots to fight the final battle and bring it to fruition.

Rob Carson
I mentioned that I saw some of these boots out of Iraq where Iran protests all these little idiots. And I confronted them down here in Northern Virginia one evening on a place called King street in Old Town Alexandria. They're standing there screaming with their bullhorns and all this crap and it'll keep the US out of ir, you know, and they're literally promoting the Ayatollah and keeping women in bondage and the whole deal. And I confronted him. I said, you're children. You guys are children. You're bought and paid for. Guess what? They were not there this weekend. They were not anywhere to be found. And I ordered a megaphone and I had ymca ready in the 5000 watt sound system I have in my Bronco Buck. I had it ready to go. I was going to park Right in front of them. And I was going to do it, but they were gone. They were. We're gone because we are winning right now. There's nothing they can do about it. And NBC went out and decided to do a man on the street kind of thing and see if there were a lot of, a lot of Trump hate out there, a lot of people thinking we shouldn't be in Iran and how gas prices were going to change everything. And you would turn against Donald Trump and the United States decision to strike Iran.
- [41:19]
Maria Bartiromo
It was a great decision.
- [41:20]
Rob Carson
I think somebody else should have done it a couple years ago, last three other presidents.
- [41:25]
NBC Man on the Street Interviewee
Are you willing to, willing to pay higher prices at the bump? If that's, if that's the cost, yeah,
- [41:29]
Rob Carson
I'm willing to pay a little more.
- [41:31]
NBC Man on the Street Interviewee
What do you think about the war?
- [41:32]
Rob Carson
I think he's doing the right thing. What, you know, in the long run, it's going to help us out because if, you know, if they get nuclear weapons, you know, we might not even be here in a couple years. I think he's doing good job. Wow.
- [41:46]
NBC Man on the Street Interviewee
Is that, is, is it worth the rise in the price of gas?
- [41:50]
Rob Carson
I think so.
- [41:50]
NBC Man on the Street Interviewee
What do you think about, about the US Decision to go into Iran?
- [41:56]
Rob Carson
I think we got to do what we got to do to keep this country safe, so. And if it means paying a little bit more in gas right now to keep everybody safe, then that's what we got to do. Yeah. That's America right there, by the way. It's not these idiots out there, you know, standing over bridge abutments or carrying signs printed in New York City. America is proud of our military and they love the fact that our military is kicking supply. Serious but. And Iran could be free and Cuba and Venezuela and all of that. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere.
