Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Banter & Personal Update

• Sets the tone for mixing personal stories, pop culture riffs, and political commentary.

2. Comparative Law & Order: El Salvador vs. U.S. Cities

• Explores how El Salvador’s President Bukele transformed the country’s safety through aggressive policing and intelligence.
  (02:05) “El Salvador has become the safest country in Hispanic America… That’s what Donald Trump’s doing in America, you see.”
• Uses this as a springboard to critique Democratic governance in U.S. inner cities, tracing the party’s history with civil rights and making unfavorable historical comparisons.

4. Trump’s Drug Boat War and the “It’s Raining Men” Parody

• Rob explains Trump’s direct orders to use missiles against drug boats, painting it as a necessary, popular, and effective measure ("every boat knocked out saves 25,000 American lives").

  (09:40, Donald Trump quote via Jim Gossett): “Every boat that we knock out, we save 25,000 American lives… if you lose three people and save 25,000, these are people that are killing our population.”

• Jim Gossett performs a parody song, adapting “It’s Raining Men” to mocking the destruction of cartel boats:

  (10:48) “Drugs transported by boat, Venezuela you best take note, cartels, they’re having fits… they were blown to bits. It’s raining men!”

• Rob underscores Americans’ love of seeing “the good guys win.”

5. Economic “Winning”: Jeep, Chrysler – Investment Returns to U.S.

• Discusses the $13B investment by Stellantis (Jeep’s parent company) in U.S. manufacturing, tying it to Trump’s economic policy and “winning” streak:

7. U.S. Foreign Policy Chess: Middle East & Russia-Ukraine

• Trump’s back-channel deals and strategic moves to drive peace and weaken adversaries:
  • Talks with Arab countries, investments, and destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities led to Israel-Hamas peace.
  • Trump negotiating to cut India’s oil purchases from Russia, aiming to starve Russia’s war machine:

    (18:47, attributed to Trump via Jim Gossett) “There will be no oil purchased from Russia… it’s a process, but soon it’ll be over with.” (19:24, Rob) “…causing him [Putin] to lose a lot of money… Sooner or later he’s going to get another notch in the belt. This will be peace deal number eight.”

8. Interview Segment – Zoran Mamdani (via Fox News) & Reaction

• Clip: Mamdani refuses to outright denounce Hamas, deflects to “international law” when asked about Gaza.

  (22:13, Zoran Mamdani) “As it pertains to Israel and Palestine, we have to ensure peace… anything has to abide by international law.” (22:27, Rob’s reaction) “But you won’t say that Hamas should lay down their arms… what he did say said volumes.”

• Brianna Lyman calls Mamdani’s position “extremely disqualifying":

  (23:15, Brianna Lyman) “Any candidate in America who cannot unequivocally condemn Hamas… should not be in a position of power.”

9. New York City & State Politics, Anti-Semitism, Jewish Voters

• Lyman criticizes Mamdani as representing globalist interests over New Yorkers, tying his stance to a broader shift away from public safety and Jewish security:

  (25:21, Lyman) “He is not running for the American people… I don’t think there’s anything Cuomo or Sliwa can do to change the outcome.”

• Discusses unease among Jewish residents due to Mamdani’s perceived Hamas sympathies:

  (26:15, Lyman) “It is not a safe space for Jewish persons in New York right now… he is a pro-Hamas sympathizer.”

Summary

The episode deftly intertwines Rob Carson’s signature humor with passionate conservative commentary. The tone is combative yet comedic—anchored in Rob’s worldview that Trump’s America is scoring wins on economics, law enforcement, and foreign policy, while Democratic governance leads to decline and moral failure. Jim Gossett’s parodies (“It’s Raining Men” for drug boats, Alec Baldwin song) provide comic resets that reinforce political points.

A highlight is the in-depth exchange with Brianna Lyman, who details how progressive politics, exemplified by Zoran Mamdani’s evasive answers on Hamas and “international law,” imperil New York’s Jewish population and signal a broader leftward, anti-American trend. Her clear, rapid-fire election analysis—touching Virginia and New Jersey’s dynamics—offers a pragmatic look at battleground states where economic and social issues drive voters.

The episode closes with a surprising voice of moderation from Democrat John Fetterman, calling on America to cool heated rhetoric and resist demonizing political opponents—a rare, welcomed moment of common sense applauded by Rob.

In short:
The episode is a fast-paced, irreverent but substantive ride through U.S. and international politics, with a spotlight on right-wing “winning,” left-wing blunders, and the ongoing fight over America’s cultural and political future.

[Jim Gossett (performing/comedy segments)]

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]

This is hour number two of the Rob Carson show broadcasting on radio stations nationwide and also on Newsmax social media as well. Newsmax Social media. If you go to any one of your favorite know social media places, whether it's YouTube, which isn't really social media, I guess it is, but Rumbly Roo Facebook, I call it Rumbly Roots Rumble, Trouble, Facebook X which used to be Twitter and of course Instagram. We're broadcasting live on all of those. Just look for the, you know, just look for Newsmax and then click on it right there. You'll see the show in real time today. Just, you know, right now wearing a black, your basic black T shirt is what I'm wearing today. Being comfortable here today, I'm not sure whether to call myself divorced or single. What do you call yourself when you're divorced? Never been divorced before. I didn't want to be divorced, but I got divorced officially yesterday. My D I V O R C E became final yesterday. So am I. I'm probably too old to be single, right? You know, it's kind of weird if you was 25 and single, you're like, dang. All right, let's party. Not so much new, not Now I laugh to cover my tears. Anyway, it's interesting. It is interesting. You know, stand up comedians, a lot of them, about one third of them have divorce material now. I haven't been able to make a joke out of it yet, but anyway, it's kind of, it's kind of weird to me that Brianna Lyman's going to join us at the bottom of the hour. She's elections correspondent with the Federalist, Newsmax contributor. She's awesome, by the way. So she's going to be talking to us at the bottom of the hour. El Salvador has become the safest country in Hispanic America. Walk at night. Bukele strategy reduces homicide, strengthens authority and public order. That's what Donald Trump's doing in America, you see. Yeah. 87% of Salvadorans feel safe walking alone in their communities at night, far surpassing the regional average of 47%. Even outperforming countries traditionally known for their safety, such as Uruguay. Is it Uruguay or Uruguay? Switzerland and Luxembourg. That's pretty cool. Radical change as a result of public security policies implemented under President Bukele's administration. Since the declaration of the state of Exemption March of 2022, the government has carried out a mass arrest, suspected gang members, reinforced police and military president supplying an unprecedented intelligence based and territorial control approach. This is what Donald Trump is doing that the Democrats are complaining about. Democrats are like, I don't know, keeping an abused relative locked up in a room and covering it up. That's how the Democrats are with people in America's inner cities. It's like nothing to see in there. And then sooner or later one of them escapes and then you realize how bad things are there. You know, that's your Democrat party, that's your Democrat Party. And the escapees are the people who say, you know what? I'm done with the friggin Democrat party. And you should be. It is really dreadful and shameful what they're doing to people in America's inner cities. People like J.D. pritzker and Brandon Johnson. Brandon Johnson, his yes man. It is remarkable. It is, it is absolutely remarkable. But this is what Democrats have been doing forever. After the Civil War, there were mayors in southern towns who wouldn't release the slaves. Yeah, I use that analogy. Hell yeah. Because the Democrat party hasn't changed. The Democrat party in the 60s wanted to keep black kids out of, you know, integrating into schools, get into better schools. George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door and what did Eisenhower do? He sent the National Guard. It never changes, right? It never changes. You should be ashamed of the Democrat Party. If you're a Democrat Party member, you need to consider leaving or make just demanding that the dang party change. Because what you're down with right now, all of the nonsense you're down with right now, I can't imagine that anyone with a modicum of common sense and dec. And decency would be a part of this party anymore. Honestly, look at yourself in a mirror and go what the hell am I thinking? Just, I mean. Siege of Venezuela escalates with the strategic bombers over the Caribbean. Remember last year I said that this, this movement toward freedom and patriotism now God was going to sweep over the world and it was going to start here and it was going to go around the world. It's happening, it's happening. Poland moved right. France is moving right. England is moving right. Next year, you know, Nigel Farage could be the Prime Minister. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully it's happening. Italy, Italy's right. Venezuela is about to fall. And by the way, the woman who the, the, the opposition candidate who the election was stolen from in Venezuela, she won the Nobel Peace Prize. She's going to be the president of Venezuela. So a siege of Venezuela escalates strategic bombers over the Caribbean as Trump administration reportedly unleashes CIA covert operations Venezuela. You know why? Because the SOB in charge of Venezuela has been unloading his prisoners prisons into America and then sending all sorts of fentanyl. There is a body count. He has been taking American casual for years and the bastards gonna get taken out. He's going to get taken down. During the morning three United States Air Force B52 strategic bombers the Love Shack were spotted over international waters off the coast of Venezuela in a sky shattering flex that screams regime crushing thunder. That's kind of cool. I like. Who wrote that. That's fantastic. Two USAFB 52 Stratofortress Beam US blitzed the southern Caribbean just 100240 miles from Caracas. If their set capital's karakin, you better come knocking. They orbited for years, for hours in a blatant missile drill that has Maduro's dictatorship sweating apocalypse. Venezuelan F16 scrambled like cornered rats. Echoes of Trump's anti Trump hammer. Who wrote this? This is spectacular. My God, this is. I think this is from the Gateway Pundit. Dang it. This is good stuff here. Launch from the Barksdale Air Force base with a shadowy tag along. This is so good. The 60 year old Nuclear Titans. Oh, somebody else is turning 60 this month and I'm a, I'm a, I'm a nuclear titan too. Yeah. Models for cruise missile Hellfire ghosted over Cuba and Mexico before locking on to Venezuela's coast. This is fantastic. The flight drew 5,000 trackers and ignited global panic. No, not really. Not really. Just, just, just the people in the Maduro regime crapping their pants as Caraga screamed provocation. The Pentagon stonewalls. It is routine training. But insiders whisper Trump's lethal boat strikes are escalating the shadow war. And here is Donald Trump. He was asked yesterday, why don't you just take the Coast Guard and go after those drug boats that are carrying the fentanyl that's going to come to America and kill all these Americans?

[Zoran Mandami]

On Venezuelan votes, I want to ask you, why not?

[Brianna Lyman]

This way you can confirm who's on.

[Rob Carson]

The boat and ensure that they're doing what they suspect.

[Jim Gossett]

Because we've been doing that for 30 years and it has been totally ineffective. They have faster boats. Some of these boats are seriously, I mean, they're world class speedboats and. But they're not faster than missiles. But we've been trying to do that for years. And so much of the drugs, 25, 30% would come in through the seas. Right now. We have, I would say none coming in through this.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend taking the boat out. No, no, no, no, I would not. If you're going to be delivering. And here is Donald Trump talking about what, each one of these boats, why they're bombing us down out of these boats. By the way, Americans love this. We love this. You've got Democrats. What about this and that and this and that. There is a military intelligence that, that can prove these boats are traveling, trafficking drugs. They have all of the intelligence they need, all of the intelligence they need to take these people out. And what does it mean to us?

[Jim Gossett]

Well, I don't want to tell you exactly, but we are certainly looking at land now because we've got the sea very well under control. We've had a couple of days where there isn't a boat to be found. And that. I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing. But we had tremendous amounts coming in by boats, by very expensive boats. You know, they have a lot of money, very fast, very expensive boats that were pretty big. And the way you look at it is every boat that we knock out, we save 25,000American lives. So every time you see a boat and you feel badly, you say, wow, that's rough. It is rough. But if you lose three people and save 25,000 people, these are people that are killing our population.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Jim Gossett]

Every boat is saving 25,000 lives. And you can see it. The boats get hit and you see that fentanyl all over the ocean. It's like floating in bags. It's all over the place. And it's. It's a tremendous. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

The American people love it because we love it when the good guys win. We love it when America goes in and kicks them. Serious. But that's what we do. We love it. That's winning, kids. This is Jim Gossett taking down the drug boats on the Rob Carson Show.

[Jim Gossett (performing/comedy segments)]

Drugs transported by boat. Venezuela. You best take note. Cartels, they're having fits. Do, do, do, do, do they're men. They were blown to bits. It's raining men. The drug boat, it now resides on the ocean floor.

[Rob Carson]

Coming up, Fantasy island, the drog boat.

[Jim Gossett (performing/comedy segments)]

Marco says we're gonna take out more. Yes. Their lives are in danger. Another chance. Cause drugs we won't tolerate.

[Jim Gossett]

Nope.

[Rob Carson]

Not taking it anymore.

[Jim Gossett (performing/comedy segments)]

Shut it down before it's too late. No drugs.

[Rob Carson]

Big finish.

[Jim Gossett (performing/comedy segments)]

A boat that was filled with drugs.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That is Jim Gossett, by the way, in case you wanted to know. He is a brilliant man. He's the only person whose comedy I've used. I normally just write all my own comedy. We collaborated on a lot of stuff, but he's brilliant. If you'd like to help him out as a conservative content creator, just go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy. Patreon.com, jim Gossett comedy. He does about two songs a day, and they're brilliant. I've got one for Alec Baldwin I'm going to play later in the show. You're going to love this one. We got one on Alec Baldwin crashing into a tree. Fortunately, the only thing that died was the tree. Anyway, that is. That is all coming up. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Jim Gossett]

Fasten your seat belt. Deep state. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. It's the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

It is a Rob Carson Show. Brianna Lyman's gonna be joining us at the bottom of the hour. Gen Z, influencer and brilliant commentator. See her all over the place. Newsmax. She works with the Federalists and all of that, so like to hear what she has to say at the bot hour of a variety of issues. You know, we have a. We have a jingle here on the show that Ken, my producer, also known as Redneck MacGyver, came up with because of all the winning. We love to win. Winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning.

[Zoran Mandami]

Lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

It's oh, so good. Yeah, because of Donald Trump's, you know, presidency's kicking butt. Because, you know, he, he had an election stolen from him. He had to set out and they tried to put him in jail and take his fortune and murder him and everything and so really kind of screwed the pooch. They really, they, they actually caused the movement to accelerate just like they did by murdering Charlie Kirk about a month ago. Yeah, they're gonna, it's gonna come back and bite the left in the butt big time. But they're gonna go out and they're gonna throw a tipper tantrum this weekend. This weekend. It's the no Kings protest. We're not burning Tesla dealerships because apparently, apparently Elon Musk isn't a Nazi anymore. Weird how that happens. He was a, he was a Nazi. The worst Nazi ever in the history of mankind just six months ago. And all sudden, now I guess it's not a Nazi anymore. Or maybe these protests are just bought and paid for. Jeep parent company Stellantis has announced a 13 billion dollar US investment plan. Why would they come here and invest? Oh, my God. Donald Trump's the worst president ever. No, no, no. They're bringing manufacturing back to the country. So there you go. Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep and other auto brands, plans to invest $13 billion in U.S. manufacturing operations over the next four years. The transatlantic automaker on Tuesday said the investments will add more than 5,000 jobs to its dom. Increased domestic production by 50%. My, I've got a Bronco and his name is Buck, by the way. And, and the other day I was driving around and there was this Jeep owner and Jeep owners, I think mostly the women who own the Jeeps get those ducks. They line these ducks up on their dash. It's a sign of owning a Jeep. You put a duck on the dash of the truck, whatever, it's cool, you know, whatever, whatever. And I just went over, I said, hey, you know, got a nice, you got a nice. And it's Jeep because it was all tricked out, had a lift kit on it and everything. And, and there's kind of a friendly rivalry between the new Bronco and the, and the Jeep. They're both great, by the way. I thought about getting a Jeep. I lived in Kansas City. Kansas City. Everybody owns a Jeep or rides a Harley. So I said, I don't want to do a Jeep. I don't want to do a Jeep, but she made me an honorary. She gave me an honorary duck because I walked away and she came over. I was getting in my car. She goes, you got a nice truck, too. And she gave me this little card. It was really cute with a little tiny duck about the size of the end of my finger. And then this card that says honorary duck. And I've got that on the dash of my truck Jeep. We need to, as bronco owners, we need to come up with something like that. Something cool, though, like a bulldog or something. I don't even know. I don't even know what we should do, but it's got to be something cool. It's got to be something cool. That's all there is to it. Yeah. So that's some of the winning there. Oh, here's some more. Here's some more winning. Donald Trump is going to bring. He wants to build an Arc de Triomphe in Washington, D.C. this is pretty cool. This is pretty cool. So the Democrats are being and whining about the ballroom that's being built in by the, by the, by the White House, even though they've been wanting it for decades. And Donald Trump has the, the influence and the power to get a whole bunch of people in there with money to pay for it, and yet the Democrats are still being and whining about it because they're a bunch of crybabies. Well, he also wants to build an Arc de Triomphe. We haven't had a major. The last monument, I think that was built in the, in the city was the MLK monument and the World War II monument, the Roosevelt Monument. And now they want to build an Arc de Triomphe like the one they got in, in France. There you go.

[Jim Gossett]

Look like in either of the three. Any of the three sizes, which is right here. I don't know if you can see. That's Lady Liberty. Lady, did you ever hear the language.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, you can't hear that very well, but it does. It looks just like the Arc de Triomphe from Paris. And maybe we ought to have France do it because, you know, they gave us the Statue of Liberty. I don't know. I think it's kind of cool, though. It would be kind of nice to have an Arc de Triomphe. It is, guys, remarkable to watch the city because I made Washington, D.C. my home for a dozen years and lived in Montgomery County, Maryland. And it is just. There is a sense of pride about the city now. It is remarkable. It is really, really remarkable. Here's Some more good news. Donald Trump, he's playing, you know, 3D chess around the world. And for instance, you didn't even know what got Israel and Hamas to the, to the peace deal. But there were a lot of balls in the air there, a lot of things going on. He was, he was working with all these Arab countries and he went to Qatar, into Saudi Arabia and said, here's the deal, you can enjoy life on earth, you can, I can take you to paradise and what do you want to do? And they said, how about we just invest, I don't know, four or five trillion dollars in America and then we work on this peace deal. And then another puzzle piece was Donald Trump blowing the snot out of Iran's nuclear facilities and that immediately cut off all the money to Hamas. Right. Isn't that amazing how that happens? And so he got a lot of balls in the air. And right now Donald Trump is trying to get this war between Russia and Ukraine, which Joe Biden got started, by the way. He got it started? Yeah, he started, he invited Russia in, essentially. He did. Just read about it, I've covered it on the show here. And so what is Donald Trump doing? Well, he's going to start starving the Russia war machine and India is no longer going to buy oil from Russia.

[Jim Gossett]

And he's assured me there will be no oil purchased from Russia. Maybe that's a breaking story. That would you say there will be no oil? He's not buying his oil from Russia. It started, you know, he can't do it immediately. It's a little bit of a process, but the process is going to be over with soon.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Jim Gossett]

And all we want from President Putin is stop this, stop killing Ukraine's and stop killing Russians because he's killing a lot of Russians. Again, it doesn't make him look good. It's a war that he should have won in one week and he's now going into his fourth year. That does not look this, make this big so called war machine look.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, so he's, he's cutting off their oil and causing him to lose a lot of money. And sooner or later he's going to get another notch in the belt. This will be peace deal number eight, by the way. Hamas says that it has handed back all the bodies it can reach as the remains of two more hostages are returned. That's breach of the deal and that's permission to kick some Hamas butt as far as I'm concerned. And when you consider what the Hamas members did to Israeli hostages, I got a story I'm going to share here very shortly on the show about someone who was freed and what they did to him in captivity. I have no, I had no passion or compassion for Hamas members and the supporters. I do not, not one little bit. And I'm hoping that they will fafo.

[Zoran Mandami]

Into one that's affordable for each.

[Rob Carson]

And every New Yorker.

[Brianna Lyman]

Okay, and I want to get to that. Absolutely.

[Rob Carson]

But do you believe that Hamas should.

[Brianna Lyman]

Lay down their weapons and leave the leadership in Gaza?

[Zoran Mandami]

I believe that any future here in New York City is one that we have to make sure that's affordable for all and as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, that we have to ensure that there is peace and that is the future that we have to fight for.

[Rob Carson]

But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their arms and give up leadership in Gaza.

[Zoran Mandami]

I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and the fact that anything has to abide by international law. And that applies to Hamas, that applies to the Israeli military, applies to anyone you could ask me about.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, well, that is Zoran Mandami being interviewed by Martha MacCallum yesterday on Fox. And what he did say said volumes. I'll just tell you, if I were Spider man, my spidey sense would be going off majorly. And certainly if I was Jewish, living in Washington, D.C. it would be going off. My God. Brianna Lyman, elections correspondent, the Federalist Newsmax contributor. She's all over the place. And now she's on the Rob Carson Show. How are you, Brianna?

[Brianna Lyman]

Rob, thanks so much for having me.

[Rob Carson]

What'd you think about that interview yesterday?

[Brianna Lyman]

Oh, God. I mean, that should have been. He should have been disqualified back in June. But this interview was extremely disqualifying. And I think the clip you just played about Hamas, really upsetting for several reasons. First and foremost, any candidate in America who cannot unequivocally condemn Hamas and acknowledge that no terrorist organization should have their hands on weapons should not be in a position of power. Two, the fact that he keeps talking about international law. This is something we keep hearing from the left. There is no such thing as international law. It is fake. It is made up. The founders would have never stood for the idea that we should be beholden to laws set by people who have different goals, values, cultures, ideologies than us.

[Rob Carson]

Well, he is. He's a liar. I'll just say it. He's a liar. He's doing what he has to do to get elected. You can tell it that, that fake smile on his face. He's saying what he has to say to get elected. And I'm, you know, I'm just amazed that more people. No, I'm not. Democrats don't get it, and particularly young Democrats who don't understand history, haven't paid any attention to history and have been brainwashed in, in, you know, they don't see through this. And while everyone. We've already seen this. This ship has already sailed. It left 100 million bodies in ground last century, and he still. Did you hear what he said about Netanyahu and getting arrested? Let me play it for you. Okay? Brianna, is that cool? Here he is being asked about arresting Benjamin Netanyahu, which is what he said he would do.

[Brianna Lyman]

You said that you would arrest Netanyahu.

[Rob Carson]

If he came to the United States. You've been very outspoken in your criticism of him. Do you stand by that? You would arrest him if he came Here if you were married.

[Zoran Mandami]

I've said that this is a city that believes in international law, and this is a city that wants to uplift and uphold those beliefs.

[Rob Carson]

The Prime Minister doesn't stand by the International Criminal Court.

[Zoran Mandami]

It hasn't signed the treaty for the International Criminal Court. The International Criminal Court, however, has issued a warrant for the arrest of Benjamin.

[Rob Carson]

Netanyahu, as it has in the United States. Could you arrest him on as it.

[Zoran Mandami]

Has for Vladimir Putin? I've said that I believe that w.

[Rob Carson]

He likens Benjamin Netanyahu to Vladimir Putin. I think, again, he didn't officially say it, but we know what he's saying, don't we?

[Brianna Lyman]

Yeah. And he should be more concerned about arresting the criminals on the streets of New York and not cutting and slashing funding for the NYPD than he is about arresting a leader of a country that has endured more turmoil in the past two years than other countries have. And again, this idea of international court. Mamdani is not running for the people of New York City. He is running for the globalists of the world. He is running for the Palestinians living over in Gaza. He's running for his own people from Uganda, but he is not running for the American people. And unfortunately, I don't think there's anything Cuomo or Sliwa, for sure, can do to change the outcome of this race. And I think that's what's most disheartening, is that Mamdani can come out and keep saying, you know, the wrong things, he can say bad things, and it just is not going to change anything.

[Rob Carson]

I just don't understand how the Jewish population in New York can be run over so handily by somebody who is obviously anti Semitic.

[Brianna Lyman]

Yeah. And I hope that now that we have the Trump administration in office, at least. Least if we see the types of campus violent campus protests and harassments we saw, you know, under Biden against Jewish students in New York, if we see that happen under Mamdani or other worse things, at least we know the federal government can step in and ensure that the law is being followed and applied and hold Mamdani accountable because it is not a safe space for Jewish persons in New York right now. I have plenty of Jewish friends in New York who are dreading Mamdani simply because he is pro, you know, Hamas sympathizer.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. There are a lot of elections going on. We've got one in Virginia. I moved to Virginia, by the way. I think that's the last time we spoke. I live in Northern Virginia, near across the river from the swamp. And we got a pretty crazy election going here. It looks like the tide has turned for the ag candidate from the Democrats because he fantasized about murdering somebody and his children. And now Jason Miaris is ahead in that race and the race is now within the margin of error for the governor. Between Abigail Spamberger and Winsome Sears. What are your thoughts on the election in Northern Virginia? And then I want to move on to New Jersey with Genrelli and Mikey.

[Brianna Lyman]

Yeah, I think in Virginia, I think Niariz has a really good chance of winning. I think it's really upsetting that so many Virginians actually have early voted before these horrific texts from Jay Jones came out. And I think that's kind of an indictment of how bad month long elections are because. Because this stuff dropped recently. People already cast their votes. I'm sure there are people who cast their votes for Jay Jones are regretting it when it comes to the gubernatorial rates. I do think Abigail Spanberger is going to win and not because she's the most qualified person to do the job, but because one, she out fundraised Winston Sears. I think in July it was like two to one fundraising. That's a really big hurdle to overcome. The second thing is the flashpoint when Youngkin was running with Spears was parents rights and McAuliffe was very outspoken about how parents were just not going to have a say. That was really a huge flashpoint. It doesn't seem to be as big of an issue or as up front in your face this go around as it was the last time. So it's kind of hard for Winston to capitalize on that now. And last but not least, look, Upper Northern Virginia is a dormitory for left wings, think tanks and institutions. These are people who are federal employees probably affected by the shutdown and they will absolutely feel more of an impetus to go out and vote for a Democrat just to stick it to Republican.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. What about, what about New Jersey generally? He, he nearly won the last time and he seems to have the momentum this time. What's. What do you think about that?

[Brianna Lyman]

Yeah, I feel hopeful about New Jersey actually. I mean, we know it's swung, what was it, five points last election cycle. It's more of a swing state than Florida is, let's put it that way. And I think the big flashpoint in New Jersey is energy prices. You know, when he ran the last time, he warned that energy prices were going to skyrocket because you can't just jump into clean energy. Even if we want to move towards that. You can't make that jump. And the experts, the climate change experts and the Democrats didn't listen. They called him a fear, you know, fear monger, all that jazz. And as it turns out, New Jersey's energy prices are just skyrocketing. You couple that with higher taxes, I mean, New Jerseyans are being suffocated under the weight of their Democrat government, and Mikey Cherrell does not have a plan to fix that. She didn't have the foresight to see the problems that they're facing now. And with Mamdani possibly coming in, there are a lot of people who commute from New Jersey to New York City every day who will be saddled with, you know, commuter taxes, higher fares, things like that. So I do think you really need Jack in office to counter not only what's happening in New York City, but to counter the Democrats in his own state.

[Rob Carson]

Now, did you see the polling numbers with Stefanik and Hochul after Hochul endorsed Mandami? And of course, Mandami did not reciprocate, but it really tightened up. I think the rest of New York does not like Mandami and certainly don't like her endorsing. What do you think about that potential of that race happening?

[Brianna Lyman]

Yeah, I. As much as I like Elise and I would love for her to win, I don't know if that's going to be an easy hurdle. Obviously, New York is Republican once you kind of get out of the city, but it's sparsely populated compared to the city and parts of Long Island. That being said, the only reason Hochul really endorsed Mandani, I think, is because her lieutenant governor, who's probably going to try and run against her, endorse mom Donnie. So she had to kind of get ahead of that curve because that'll kind of put her at odds in the Democratic primary, if there is one. But she's also made it clear that she doesn't agree with mom Donnie on everything, which I don't believe that I think she does. But I think she's going to try and separate herself from Mamdani the best she could while he's in office to try and hold on to her seat.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, I appreciate your. Your take on all of this. You. You just know your stuff so well. You're on X at Brianna Lyman 2, by the way. Where else can people find all your work, Brianna?

Webroot.com Carson webroot.com Carson I was talking earlier about how John Fetterman, he had Turned off and turned on his brain. And all of a sudden it's working now, and he's like the only common sense Democrat out there. It's remarkable. And here he is talking about. Oddly enough, I know this kind of sounds strange. He says that Trump and his voters are not Nazis or fascists.

[John Fetterman]

I'm the only Democrat in my family. I grew up in a conservative part of Pennsylvania, and now I grew up and I, I knew. I know. And I love people that voted for President Trump, but they are not fascists. They're not Nazis. They're not trying to destroy her, the Constitution, those things. And that's part of it.

[Rob Carson]

That's not what the Democratic Party's been saying. No. They've been saying this for years. And now, now people are actually scribing it on the shell casings when they murder people like Charlie Kirk. We must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving America than the MAGA republics are destroying America. Remember that? Yeah. He was standing in front of Independence hall when he did that speech. Out of whole cloth. Came out of nowhere just to call us MAGA fascists and enemies of democracy right there in front of Independence Hall. He claimed it for himself and his party, even though it belongs to all of us. The MAGA Republicans don't just threaten our personal rights and economic security. They're a threat to our very democracy. They refuse to accept the will of the people. It's like they're trying to sow the seeds of discourse so people would get murdered and violence would happen. You and 81 million Americans voted to save our democracy, Donald Trump. Yeah, sure. 81 million people voted for you? You bet. Just a former president. Oh, yeah. He is a defeated former president. We just have to vote, vote, vote, and make sure no one ever has the opportunity to steal election again. They just use the words of war. They just use the words of war. It's not a. It's not a war of words. They use the words war. Here is Mr. Fetterman again.

[John Fetterman]

Another thing. I refuse to call people Nazis or fascists or. I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler and those things. And now that kinds of extreme rhetoric is going to continue, we're going to be more likely and resulting in extreme kind of outcomes, political violence and doing all these kinds of things like Charlie Kirk. For me, all I could say is, like, let people grieve, give people the space. I'm not going to use that terrible thing in that PASIC assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views. It's like, my God, you know, he's a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet. And now people have forgotten. President Trump was in my state, was shot in the head. And if that would have. Could you imagine where our nation would be if he was hit in the same way with Kirk? We really got to turn the temperature down. And we can agree to disagree on these kinds of things, but right now, shutting down the government, I just can't take it that.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Well, that's. Isn't it. Isn't it strange just a couple years ago, what he just said, there was common sense, right? Yeah. Yeah. Remember what I said about 2024 being the, the year we turn back to common sense from nonsense? That. That was. That was common sense. What he just said. There was common sense. I give the man credit for it. I mean, it's not like, you know, it shouldn't be a revelation to people. Shouldn't be revelation to people. But. But at least with his brain reset, he's got that going. And it sounds like he might even have some compassion going, which is something you don't hear year from from Democrats. It's. It's crazy. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. You know, when you eat a fancy restaurant, you. They'll bring you sorbet. And you know why sorbet is there? You're thinking, oh, that's just like ice cream. No, no, it's like this fruit, frozen fruit thing. And it's a palate cleanser. It's a palate cleanser. Gives you the opportunity to reset your palate. I like to do that with comedy. This is brand new from Jim Got it About Alec Baldwin, who says that a garbage truck cut him off and he ran into a tree. Turns out when you. We saw the video from the garbage truck, it was all Alex fault. He lied about it. Kind of like he did shooting that woman. Yeah, it's kind of weird. But anyways, brand new. I think you'll enjoy it if you're a plumber.

[Jim Gossett (performing/comedy segments)]

Alec and Stephen Baldwin in an SUV Watch out for that tree Alec he gunned the engine oh so carelessly Watch out for that tree hey it was Alec's luck that a garbage truck he could blame and pass the buck Was a proven lie no one would buy People said, hey, nice try Alec and Stephen Baldwin how could they not see? Wow Watch out for that tree it's no joke he destroyed an oak now he is blowing smoke It's a crying shame he won't Take the blame. It's just more of the same dangerous. Alec Baldwin drives so foolishly. Watch out for that tree.

[Rob Carson]

That Jim. God said help him out by going to patreon.com Jim Gossett County. It's from the TV show George of the Jungle. I never saw that show. That's kind of like a, a boomer show from, like, is it the early 60s? I don't even know George of the Jungle never saw Georgia the Jungle. We had stupid cartoons as a Generation X. We had a, a show called Grape Ape that was so stupid. And, and Captain Caveman and Inch High. Private Eye. What the hell? This is why we played outside. But we ate it like Pablum. We did. We just ate up those cartoons. They were terrible. We watched them because the only time you could watch them was Saturday mornings. It's crazy. Exact salary. You need to live comfortably in every major city in the United States. Most expensive places, San Jose, San Francisco, San Diego. You got to have $200,000 to live there. Do you realize? In San Jose. And yes, I know the way there. The single family home, $1.5 million. You need 240, $64,000 to live comfortably alone there. Average. Average monthly mortgage payment in the city known as the capital of Silicon Valley. $8,500. $8,500 mortgage. Unbelievable. San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles. All 251, 206 and 194,000, respectively. New York City, $184,000. One of the cheapest places to live is Detroit. But you got to live in Detroit. That's the only drawback is you got to live in Detroit. Other cities to make the list. Seattle, Washington, you got to make 178k. Boston, Massachusetts, 169. Washington, DC's got to be up there. Washington's geese got to be. I got a one bedroom apartment that costs $700 more than my single family mortgage in Kansas. But again, I had to live in Kansas. So there's that. There is that. Hey, we got another hour of the show coming up. Oh, it's going to be good. Bernie Sanders and AOC on stage last night. Bernie got all worked up, man, his heartbeat. But went up above like 60 beats. It was. It was incredible. That's coming up. Also, Zoran Mandami's interview yesterday got some more highlights from that as well. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
