Overview

This live episode of The Rob Carson Show delivers a trademark blend of humor, sharp political commentary, and satire. With guest Tony Kennett of The Daily Signal, Carson dissects the government shutdown, evolving Democrat political strategies, the role of "Karens" in modern American culture, the left’s radical shift, and mainstream media narratives. In classic Carson style, no side is free from parody or pointed critique, highlighting hypocrisy and what he sees as the ascension of "common sense" conservatism versus identity-driven progressivism.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Filibuster, Shutdown Politics, and Democrat "Double Standards"

[00:17–06:46]

• Carson asserts the left can’t be taken seriously and must be lampooned, particularly when it comes to identity and gender debates.
• The debate over the Senate filibuster is highlighted with clips from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Barack Obama pointing out its origins in "Jim Crow" and civil rights obstruction.
  • Carson mocks the shifting standards:

    "The Democrat Party only has double standards. The only standards they have." [04:33]

• Carson and Jim Goshett parody Trump’s stance on ending the filibuster, contending Republicans should act decisively rather than "be meow meows" [05:47].
• Carson decries Democrats as having "bedded down with the communist left," drawing Hitler comparisons to underscore his view of extremism taking over the party.

---

2. Government Shutdown—Impact, Narratives, and the Blame Game

[07:34–11:58]

• Rob asserts Democrats willingly extend the shutdown for political gain:

  "They will do anything to win. They would put Osama bin Laden [on the ballot] if they thought he could win in New York." [08:54]

• Discusses the disconnect between real-world hardship (affected federal workers, SNAP, WIC) and "political games."
• Mocks stories of shutdown impact, especially Ashley Allison’s anecdote about her "eyebrow technician":
  • Carson lampoons the story:

    "Do you have to have a degree? It’s like working for NASA...my goal is to eventually be an eyebrow technician." [14:31]

• Jim Comer explains that the Senate's composition means it’s not a simple majority game, and the blame game persists.

---

3. Radicalization of the Democratic Party—Rise of "Karen" and the Far Left

[21:55–29:09]

• Rob welcomes Tony Kennett. Both lambaste New York’s political slide and the fundraising/support for Zoran Mandami, connecting it to the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood.
  • Kennett:

    "The New York economic empire is in the process of just utter collapse...massive tax hikes...yeah, that ain't happening." [22:20]

• Carson and Kennett draw parallels between today’s leftist radicalism and historical figures (Hitler, Castro, Lenin), stressing that coalitions formed to gain power will inevitably be betrayed:
  • Carson:

    "Lenin called them useful idiots. They help you get them in power and then you slaughter them." [25:36]

• They agree the media and "uninformed voters" enabled radical candidates' victories, warning it could (but won’t necessarily) become a national trend.

---

4. Election Lessons—Overconfidence and Cultural Dynamics

[27:50–29:09]

• Kennett says Republicans "needed the loss" to avoid complacency:
  • Kennett:

    "You are not invincible. You can’t just do whatever you want and call it solid gold and give it to voters." [27:50]

• They skewer Democrat strategy—relying on “menopausal Karens and young socialist Islamists”—and suggest it’s doomed outside deeply blue states.
• Carson savages recent Democrat candidates, arguing they lack charisma and vision, while the party lurches even further left.

---

5. "Karen vs. Common Sense": The Cultural Meta-Narrative

[29:09–34:38]

• Carson champions the “common sense” response to left-wing overreach:
  • Carson:

    "This is exactly aligning with the Democrat voter which is Karen. The white liberal…Karen and her emasculated man in her life." [29:25]

• Both hosts describe this demographic as easily manipulated and central to cultural "social contagions" (cancel culture, mascot changes, etc.).
  • Kennett:

    "They are the most susceptible demographic in the country to essentially media manipulation, social contagion." [30:44]

  • Carson:

    "They're the ones who fell for it. They're the ones who fell for the transgender bullcrap. They want to be busybodies." [31:00]

• Humorous takedowns of cultural issues, such as body positivity campaigns in stores, and a riff on being "plus size" in retail.

---

6. Filibuster Debate—Temptation and Warning

[31:51–33:16]

• Carson advocates ending the filibuster for GOP gain, citing the left's willingness to "do anything."
• Kennett urges caution:
  • Kennett:

    "Be careful what you tear down." [32:08]

• The risk of reducing responsibility in Congress is discussed; the hosts disagree on whether structural change is worth the risk.

---

7. Looking Forward—Economic Optimism and the Republican Path

[33:34–35:53]

• The hosts note positive economic trends and predict a resurgence if interest rates drop, manufacturing returns, and Trump capitalizes on the country’s 250th anniversary.
  • Carson:

    "A lot of manufacturing is coming here, a lot of jobs being created, and it's going to go on light speed." [35:33]

  • Kennett sees additional wins for GOP if they push hard and don’t become complacent.

---

8. Democratic Party Future—Fractures and Radicalization

[36:22–39:31]

• The departure of long-time moderates, like Nancy Pelosi and Jared Golden, signals to Carson and commentators the demise of centrist Democrats and the rise of "neo-Marxists."
  • Carson:

    "Now we have a target. Now we have a real target. And, and as I always like to say, when the left exposes its flank, what do we do? We kick its ass." [37:03]

• Further comparisons are drawn between New York’s new leadership and monstrous creations—suggesting establishment Democrats are being overtaken by their own radicals (the "Dr. Frankenstein’s monster" metaphor).
  • Unknown Commentator:

    "Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi thought it was cute to go left and they begot Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders who begot the squad who finally, the logical culmination, they begot this [Mandami] and he's sort of...the monster and now they're going to be terrified of him." [38:59]

Conclusion

This episode lampoons and sharply critiques the Democratic Party’s leftward shift while celebrating the virtues of "common sense" conservatism. Carson and Kennett frame the current moment as one of historic political inflection, with the so-called "Karen" demographic and radical activists dominating the opposition—a strategy they insist is doomed outside blue strongholds. Wry humor and unfiltered analysis pervade, and amid warnings about institutional change, the hosts remain bullish on the prospect that reality—and Republican resurgence—will soon intrude on left-wing delusions.

Transcript

[Rob Carson]

Hold it.

[Ashley Allison]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

You are about to hear the most.

[Jim Goshett]

Interesting, informative, thought provoking, and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson show, and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. I've been crafting this show quite carefully for the last one ten hours or so. I've been in the studio since about five hours ago, and then a bunch of hours last night. And all because I have no life. This is my life, and I love my life. It's glorious, and we are gonna have so much fun today. I want to start out with something that was sent to me this morning. I think it's kind of funny. You know, I like to say the conservative comedies on the Ascension because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. And that is absolutely true. If you think about it just a little. If you think about it just a little, you can't take people who think they can change your gender and that men could be able to put some lipstick on and go into the women's locker room and get undressed.

[Jim Comer]

You.

[Rob Carson]

You can't take those people seriously. So you got to make fun of them.

[Unknown Commentator]

Anything that Donald Trump does, good or bad, you know, good, whatever, it's, you know, Democrats feel they have to do the opposite. My favorite now is of Democratic women being told pregnant women to not take Tylenol, do anything, but don't take Tylenol. And to spite him, pregnant Democratic women are taking Tylenol. I'm trying to reach out to the White House to just see if I can get President Trump to make another announcement. Whatever you do, don't. Men over 50 who are traveling in the greater Philadelphia area this weekend, specifically over the bridge in Collinswood with their band. Whatever you do, don't.

[Rob Carson]

They're kind of like toddlers. Toddlers. You tell them the opposite thing, they will just do despite you. So I think we should say to the Democrats, oh, do not open the government. Whatever you do, do not pay federal employees. No, no, no. Donald Trump, the king. Donald Trump, the king says that you definitely, definitely don't want to open that government. So whatever you do, don't up with the government. And here's Hakeem Jeffries talking about the. The filibuster. You're talking about the filibuster. And I think Donald Trump ought to pull the trigger on the filibuster, because, you see, we're dealing with a party of people who tried in prison, tried to take away his fortune, tried to take him off the ballot and then tried to murder him a couple times and then went after him for two impeachments. One after he left office, raided Mar a Lago. So I say bleep them. Bleep them. Okay. But here's Hakeem Jeffries talking about the filibuster. Congressman, you tweeted yesterday, that's Al Sharpton. He has a TV show. And the only reason being is because MSNBC is afraid to fire him, that the filibuster is a racially tinged artifact of the Jim Crow era. We cannot let it stand in the way of progress.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

High priority issues for the American people that are being held up in the Senate right now because of the presence of the filibuster. And so a minority of senators are allowed to block progress for the majority of the American.

[Rob Carson]

That's true. The seven. Seven Democrat senators are doing that. You're exactly right there, Hakeem.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

And people. And that's something that has to change. Filibuster was first deployed by Senator Calhoun in the run up to the Civil War to try to protect white supremacy as well as the institution of slavery. And then in terms of its modern form, it was really deployed in the early part of the 20th century to stop civil rights legislation, including anti lynching legislation that passed the House of Representatives in the early part of the 20th century but could never break through a Senate filibuster. And that is part of the legacy of the absence of progress that we're still living with to this day.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that is amazing. That is. That is Hakeem Jeffries saying, you got to get rid of the filibuster. That's pretty amazing. Here's Barack Obama saying the same thing by ending some of the partisan gerrymandering so that all voters have the power to choose their. You mean like Proposition 50 in California?

[Hakeem Jeffries]

Politicians.

[Rob Carson]

Not the other way around. Channeling Bill Cosby. And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster. Another Jim Crow relic. Wow. In order to secure the God given rights of every American, then that's what we should do. We got to get rid of it, right? It is Jim Crow, man. That's like Jim Crow 2.0. You know all that election stuff they did in Georgia where they tried to, you know, make sure you had an ID and all of that? That's kind of like Jim Crow, man. You better get rid of that filibuster. Oh, wait, no, that was. That was 2021 is when they said those things. You see, the Democrat Party only has double standards. The only standards they have. Here's Donald Trump talking about the filibuster. And I think since it's so racist to Jim Crow, I think we need to get rid of.

[Jim Goshett]

Remember, Republicans, regardless of the Schumer shutdown, the will terminate the filibuster the first chance they get.

[Rob Carson]

They will.

[Jim Goshett]

They will pack the Supreme Court of the United States, pick up two states. That's a lot of states. And add at least eight electoral votes. Their two objectives are gone. Remember cinema and mansion. They're gone.

[Rob Carson]

True.

[Jim Goshett]

Don't be weak. Don't be stupid, Republicans.

[Rob Carson]

Come on.

[Jim Goshett]

Fight, fight, fight. Win, win.

[Rob Carson]

Don't be meow meows.

[Jim Goshett]

When we will immediately end the extortionist shutdown, get all of our agenda passed and make life so good for that. These deranged Democrat politicians will never again have the chance to destroy America. They tried to destroy your country, Republicans. You will rue the day that you didn't terminate the filibuster. Be tough, be smart and win.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That's a good idea. I'm down with it completely. Because you cannot deal with these Democrats because they just bedded down with the communist left. They just bedded down with a guy who was an anti Semite, pro jihadi, Islamist, communist. Okay? And now you've got Democrats across the country going, oh, I think that's a pretty good idea. I think he sounds pretty cool. You know, I know this Hitler guy. He's a young guy. He's got a weird mustache, but gosh darn, what he's saying is pretty awesome. He, you know, he should be the chancellor someday.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

And I wish I could say that I am surprised by what we're witnessing, but this is exactly what happens when the Democratic Party surrenders to its most radical fringe. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries lack the political courage to stand up to the Marxist, anti Semitic, anti law enforcement base led by Mamdani, now AOC and Bernie Sanders. Schumer and Jeffries are both weak leaders from New York and specifically New York City, where they have never had to face serious political opposition and have enjoyed nothing but glowing praise from their friends in the media. They are ill suited to lead the Democratic Party at the national level, which is on dramatic display with each passing day of this tragic shutdown.

[Rob Carson]

1000% here is Caroline Levitt. No, actually, let's wait on. Let's wait on that. Let's go to John Thune. We've tried to do that. 13 times you voted. No, 13 times. 13 times people over here voted to fund SNAP. Yeah, 13 times they voted to fund WIC. This isn't a political game. These are real people's lives that we're talking about. Yeah. And I can't imagine how tough it is right now to go to work when you're not being paid, particularly you guys who are doing, you know, air traffic control, one of the most stressful jobs you could possibly imagine. And having to deal with this bullcrap. Absolutely absolute bullcrap. The Senate is to vote on a full year funding for military construction, VA and SNAP and the latest bid to end the record shutdown. But you see the Democrat Party, they think they have a little momentum. They think that because they won on Tuesday night in blue states, not a big surprise. Bad candidates in for governor in Virginia and two terrible opposition candidates in New York City and questionable receipts on the election in New J. Half a million people suddenly showed up to vote, more people than ever to vote for a mediocre Democrat candidate when all of the momentum was in favor of the Republican. It's weird. It's weird.

[Jim Comer]

And you know what?

[Rob Carson]

I can say that I questioned the election because I got this First Amendment thing and I can have an opinion on it. So how about you just stick it if you got a problem with that? But there you go. That's what's really. That's what's really happening. But they think they got some sort of momentum. They've decided they wanted to wait to keep the shutdown through. Through the election. Now that they think they won, they don't even give a rant behind. If you starve, lose your job. If planes crash, they don't give a damn. You know why? Because they just elected an Islamist terrorist, Marxist, communist in New York City. They will do anything to win. They will do anything to win. They would have. They would put Osama bin Laden. If they thought Osama bin Laden could win in New York, they'd say, okay, well, you know, he's really not that bad. I'm not screwing around. This is your Democrat Party. This is how awful they are.

[Unknown Political Commentator]

Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House.

[Rob Carson]

Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage. And although a very unpleasant tool to.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

Use, it's gotten us focused on what.

[Rob Carson]

We have to do to change direction on health, make people suffer.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

Health care shutdowns are terrible. And of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer.

[Rob Carson]

But it is one of the few.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

Leveraged times we have.

[Rob Carson]

Leverage. Leverage reminds me of the words famously uttered in the first Shrek movie by Lord Farquhar.

[Jim Goshett]

Yes, I Know some of you may.

[Rob Carson]

Die as a result of what I'm about to do but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make here. The Democrats are willing to put the American party. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jim Goshett.

[Jim Goshett]

As the pressing Schumer ruddered round talking out loud fighting of his dirty tactics how can he be proud to close up the federal government for the gop? Schumer is heaven sent. Chuck ought to know that this time around he will get the blame for a government shutdown will be taking the fold. Democrats want but they won't get a bunch of new spending to run up the debt. Hot came Jeffries a guy we cannot trust negotiations he is why they've been a bust Dems can't wait to leave this town. A sad, sad truth they want to shut down.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, we got Tony. Kenneth's gonna be joining us at the bottom of the hour. Mary Walter next hour and of course Christian, Tony, Toto. Friday a lot of stuff coming up the call the number here is 800-922-6680. This is a Friday edition of the Rob Carson show.

[Rob Carson]

So you know that big jewelry heist at the Louvre museum in France, you know that's they sell like what, $20 million worth of stuff. I don't even know. But a French forensics officer examined the window of the Louvre museum which was at the scene of the robbery of the world famous museum. On October 19th in Paris, France's culture minister Rashida Dati announced the closure of the world famous art exhibit a museum on X due to the robbery tag place and then they reopened. But apparently the the museum's video surveillance server password and this may be a clue as to how the thieves were able to put a cherry picker next to the building, raise the the cherry picker up to the window, break the window out like you know what do you, you sitting there at the Louvre and you see a guy with the cherry picker and you're like what are you doing? He goes oh, I'm here to clean out the gutters. Oh, alright, go right ahead. I mean, oh, oui, oui, mercibo co I actually do speak French but so that, and then, and then, then the museum server password is Louvre. Louvre is the name of the the museum while a software program provided by the company was secured with the password Thales. And by the way the the company is the Thales Company. T H A L E S I do a real Quick here to you guys in charge of the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian museums here, you know, with a hope diamond in the Natural History Museum. Change the password from Smithsonian. That or if you're like national treasure. If it's Valley Forge, you might want to change it because, you know, somebody might grab a champagne glass and lift your prints off of it. Anyway, that's a national national treasure reference. I still am going over to the to the Library of Congress. I'm going to look for that presidential book with the UFOs and Bigfoot and all that. And I'm going to do it sooner or later. I didn't realize how bad this shutdown was going to be until I heard it last from a woman named Ashley Allison on this is having on cnn. Here it is.

[Ashley Allison]

Massive impact. I went and got my eyebrows done the other day and my eyebrow technician was like, they're gonna fire two technicians from here because all of our clients don't have money to come. She's not on snap.

[Rob Carson]

That's it. Did you hear that? Her eyebrow technician. A couple of her eyebrow. How the hell. What. Why would you need an eyebrow technician? Do you have to have a degree? Do you. It's like working for NASA. It's like, you know, we're starting off with just haircutting and maybe some tweezing. But my goal is to eventually be an eyebrow technician. An eyebrow technician.

[Ashley Allison]

This is having massive impact.

[Rob Carson]

I thought you're just a little Korean lady with an American name.

[Ashley Allison]

Got my eyebrows done the other day and my eyebrow technician was like, they're gonna fire two technicians from here because.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, sure, your name is Deborah.

[Ashley Allison]

Okay, sure of our clients don't have money to come. She's not on snap.

[Rob Carson]

That is just unbelievable. Wow. I wonder if eyebrow technicians have their own food bank called. Oh, Snap. Yeah, I just said that. Here's Jim Comer talking about the shutdown which it looks like it's going to continue through the weekend.

[Jim Comer]

Well, if every Republican voted for the bill, which all every Republican did, but Rand Paul, it takes seven Democrats. So with Rand.

[Rob Carson]

Rand Paul and Tucker Carlson need an island on their own. With with Candace Owens it takes eight Democrats.

[Jim Comer]

The Democrats know this, but they prey on the uneducated voter out the only way they pray there that doesn't realize that ere y just because the Republicans have the majority in the Senate, that doesn't mean they can pass any legislation. The Senate was created to be bipartisan.

[Rob Carson]

When you get up, when you get a Brazilian wax, does that require a technician for better or worse?

[Jim Comer]

And what we have is a situation.

[Rob Carson]

I think, that's a little more technical.

[Jim Comer]

Where the Democrats will not cross over. Other than Fetterman and the two from Georgia that are in the, you know, in the toughest races for reelection in the future, the other Democrats are continuing to stick together to force the government to remain shut down because they think they're scoring political points on it. They don't care about the people that need SNAP benefits. They don't care about the federal employees that aren't getting paid. They don't care if all the airplanes in America are grounded because the ground, the ground crews and air traffic control refuse to show up because they're not getting paid. They don't care. They just want to hurt Donald Trump and try to score political.

[Rob Carson]

You know what? Maybe, maybe, maybe because somebody just wrote on, on the rumble, the live stream, stop paying Congress. How about we, we surround the building and keep them from leaving and cut off all their food and water and their utilities? I think that might be a good idea. What do you think about that? How about cut off all their utilities, all their food and everything? Can't even get Uber eats for the people in Congress until they get something done here, because that's what they're doing to us. Essentially.

[Jim Comer]

They're going to try to vote through the weekend to try to get something through the Senate, and then we would return back to Washington and see what they, what they voted out. But you're exactly right, and I think that's been lost in translation. This was just to continue funding levels through November 21, to be able to negotiate all the things that they claim they want to negotiate. This is what's been done throughout history to avert government shutdowns. When you have conservatives who want to spend less money and you have liberals who want to spend more money, that's called extortion. Compromise is a continuing resolution. You spend the same levels. So this is unnecessary. Everything the Democrats have done is unnecessary. I hope every family struggling to put food on their table realizes that. I hope every federal employee who's struggling to make ends meet and everyone who's.

[Rob Carson]

I say we barricade them in. No food, no water, no nothing. No. No wi fi, nothing. How about that? How about that? Cyber crime spikes during the holidays, especially around Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Falling victim to cybercrime is the last thing anyone needs, especially during the holidays. I know this. I had to upload everything in my home computer because my homepage for Google got infected.

[Ashley Allison]

What I am saying to you is this Republican shutdown, my friend. You are in control of the White House. You are in control of the House and you are in control of the Senate. And if you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar.

[Rob Carson]

A Lago, does it take 60 votes?

[Ashley Allison]

At a gold plated dinner while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. Sir, you are, you are blind to the suffering of your people.

[Rob Carson]

Does it take 60 votes?

[Ashley Allison]

It takes you listening and coming to the table.

[Jim Goshett]

It does take 60 votes.

[Ashley Allison]

You want to have this? Come talk to me in private, sir.

[Rob Carson]

So it does take 60 votes. For the record, just so that we're clear on the reporting. So there's no misinformation. Yeah, that's a metaphor for 2024. Common sense versus Karen. That's what it was, common sense versus Karen. Unfortunately, Karen was able to eke one by in Virginia and New Jersey, but, you know, we'll see. Hey, joining us on the Newsmax Highline, one of our favorite guests. In fact, I would venture to say don't tell Mary, but I think you're my favorite guest. Tony Kennett, Daily Signal. What's going on, my friend?

[Tony Kennett]

It is a fantastic day not to live in New York City. How are you doing?

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my Lord in heaven. You know, the thing about Zoran Mondami, New York is like your daughter. When she dates a bad boy, abusive guy, there's nothing you can do about it but pick up the pieces after it falls apart. And at this point, I really don't care if this daughter, I think I want to estrange, I'm kind of done with it.

[Tony Kennett]

Again, the New York economic empire is in the process of just utter collapse because there are other cities who are more than happy to host the different trading and economic facets that made up the Big Apple. If New York thinks that people are going to stay with the massive tax hikes that Manzani wants to bring in. Yeah, that ain't happening.

[Unknown Political Commentator]

Captain.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Why don't you move? Move Wall street to Miami. The weather's better down there.

[Tony Kennett]

Honestly, the real estate infrastructure is already halfway there.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, Dallas, almost halfway there. Dallas. Dallas has been in constant trying to catch up with its growth for decades. Trust me, I went to New Dallas a few years ago. I'm like, man, when are they going to get these roads to catch up with the growth that's happening down here? But no, I, I got to tell you, I got two words for New York. Yan Yo. Okay. That's something I learned when I lived in North Kentucky. Yon yon New York. Yon yon don't even care. Did you hear about this? There was a congressman who wants to basically say no more Federal aid to New York City. And I would. I would have to say I agree.

[Tony Kennett]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. And, you know, while we're at it, just to point out, I would like it to be on every billboard from here to the other coast that the CARE Organization, the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Association with the Muslim Brotherhood.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Tony Kennett]

They funded three fourths of this dude's campaign.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Tony Kennett]

And he has the gall to get out in front of the country now and go, hey, guys, remember how I said, don't say me, more money. Well, give me money.

[Rob Carson]

And just like another bad boyfriend has his hand out, yeah, we want to go out for pizza, but I don't have any money for it. You know, this was less about turning a New York City Communist. It was more about getting a radical Islamist elected. That's all there is to it. And I heard Glenn Beck talking about this. This red green alliance which happened in Iran. When the Ayatollah came in, the left allied with the radical Islamists, and the radical Islamists slaughtered everybody. That's how. That's how Zoran Mandami was able to glad hand with terrorist sympathizers. And they still love him, even though he's so pro LGBTQIA plus because he used the idiots of the left to get him in power.

[Tony Kennett]

This is something that even some of our, let's maybe say former friends at American Conservative magazine don't seem to understand. They had a big feature piece called Zoran Mandani is not a Third Worldist. Quit calling him that. Their argument is that because he's just woke. Like, you can't be both. Like, you do realize that those who want to see America torn down are not really bothered by the manner in which it's torn down. You don't have to glaze a guy just because he's anti Israel.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. I'm sure a lot of people thought that Castro was very, you know, charismatic and young and all of these things. It's the same damn thing, dude. It's the same damn thing. Probably. You know, there are a lot of people who said, you know, this Hitler guy, he's got a funny mustache. But, man, I'm loving what he saying. He's saying he's going to get more money into the working man's pocket, and he is going to give you this free and that free and all of that. Of course, we're going to take all your guns, and then we're going to give you free health care. Hitler did all those things. I'm not. I'm not screwing around here, you know.

[Tony Kennett]

These are trains in Italy, they've never run. So on a time under the duche.

[Rob Carson]

That's exactly right, man. It's. It's there. The useful idiots that Lenin talked about. Lenin called them the useful idiots. They help you get them in power and then you slaughter them. And you think that I'm not being pejorative here. This is. This is what they want to do. Did you see the Muslim call to prayer in friggin Times Square? I gotta tell you that that bleep's gonna have to end. And if we have to do it from the federal level by cutting off New York altogether and eventually sending in the National Guard. Hell yeah. Because a communist cannot run that country and it cannot run it with anti Israel, you know, defund Israel, pro Hamas. It can't happen. And so some. I'm glad Donald Trump is in office for another three years. Go ahead.

[Tony Kennett]

I cannot. I'm sorry, I just can't get over how hilarious it is to me that Mr. Super Culture got up in front of the city and said, and the Trinidadian waiters and the Uzbeki aunties and said essentially everyone that he could except for Americans. And now he comes before the city and he says, all right, guys, I'm out of money. I need money for my transition team. And it's like, don't look at me. You didn't want any of me. Why don't you go ask the Uzbeki auntie for some assistance there?

[Rob Carson]

You know the amazing thing? The Uzbeki auntie and the Albertan, whatever the hell. And all of those people, they used to just be called Americans and they were proud to be called Americans. And they still are driving taxis from Nigeria, and they still are driving, you know, doing. Owning a shop from India. And they're Americans, okay? He only divided people. Screw that Uzbeky crap. You put Uzbeki second. You are America first. But that is Zoran Mandami. He doesn't give a flying rip about the American people. The Constitution, for God's sake. He quoted communists and Islamists in his speech, not Jefferson or Washington. So, you know, he's. He's a major danger. And what do you think? Let me ask you this, Tony, Let me ask you this. What do you think about. Because I was talking to somebody this morning, I was on WGMD talking, and they're like, oh, we gotta be aware of this in the midterms, because these young Marxists, they're gonna march forward and they could take them into big A. I don't think the Marxists have the numbers. I think it's a major mistake for the Democrat Party to go in that direction because they already failed. Going left with Kamala Harris. Going further left is going to make it even worse. What do you think?

[Tony Kennett]

Two beautiful things came out of the election on Tuesday. And I know that we talked about it because you're watching our coverage at the time. Number one, the Republicans needed the loss. I know this sounds terrible. I know that that's not the right thing to say. They needed the loss because you are not invincible. You are not. You can't just do whatever you want and call it solid gold and give it to voters.

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Tony Kennett]

Winsome Earl Steers ran a sucky campaign.

[Rob Carson]

I'm sorry. I'll say it, dude.

[Tony Kennett]

The Democrats are now overconfident. They said we can run the menopausal Karens and the young socialist Islamists and that will totally appeal to Pennsylvania, Georgia people. No, it ain't gonna happen. Captain. Good luck to you. Please run with that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Winston Miller serious has the. The. I don't know. She's the charisma of an armadillo. That's what I said. I mean I just want to was lousy candidate. I knew this about Glenn Young because Glenn Youngkin officially crowned her the. The candidate I never liked Young. And everyone's talking about Youngkin being in a Republican name over it only as a presidential candidate. Steve Bannon says his political career is over. I hope it is actually. Tony. Kenneth, can you hold on? I got some more on the other side I want to talk to you about. Okay.

[Tony Kennett]

You got it. You got it.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Zoran Mandani, is he the future of.

[Ashley Allison]

The party and how Democrats combat Republicans demonizing him.

[Rob Carson]

I mean a lot of people believe he is going to be on ads across the country and as a kind of a target for Republicans.

[Jim Goshett]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

I think the future of the party is Zorin and Abigail and Mike.

[Unknown Political Commentator]

Right.

[Rob Carson]

The future of the party is that we're a big ten party. Yeah. You know and this is exactly aligning with the Democrat voter which is Karen. The white liberal cul de fact dwelling Karen and her emasculated man in her life. That's who. Who drove Kamala Harris into the toilet. I wish him the best with it. I really do. Lurching left and. And having a bunch of starry eyed revolutionaries will not end well in a country where I don't know about half a billion guns exist. Not gonna happen. Uh, Tony Kennett, who is from the daily, uh, Signal and also radio and lovely Indianapolis, Indiana, joins us on the Newsmax hotline. Yeah, I think this movement will really damage the Democrat Party, but I'm glad. I thought they were committing suicide by just not learning from the 2024 election and turning left now. They've gone full on 90 degree turn into communism. What do you think?

[Tony Kennett]

I mean, it's not just the communism turn into thing because we knew that that was coming, but it's that they're a secondary line here. You've got the A team and the B team and the old A team for the. Well, sure, they're multi ethnic superculture, but their B team was that strong establishment, old white dude kind of energy. That's gone now. They've replaced that with the menopausal Karens, who are bitter and they have no community and are insufferable.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Tony Kennett]

And they think that if they just get enough of those, like, angry women out there, that's gonna solve everything. And the problem is they are the most susceptible demographic in the country to essentially media manipulation, social contagion.

[Rob Carson]

Social contagion, Social contagion, media strategy. They're the ones who fell for it. They're the ones who fell for the transgender bullcrap. They fall for everything. They want to be busy bodies they got rid of after George Floyd died of a drug overdose. They got rid of Aunt Jemima. They got rid of Native American mascots because she's Karen.

[Tony Kennett]

But that's the thing. Now that same crew is very upset about Sydney Sweeney not apologizing. They don't recognize the rest of the country doesn't. That's why you see these angry, bitter old women standing up and going, you need to leave. And then everyone looks at her like she's annoying and ridiculous. Because she is.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, she needs to go back being.

[Tony Kennett]

The country hates her.

[Rob Carson]

She needs to go back to the HOA and complain about mildew on sighting. Trust me, she. Gladys Kravitz on Bewitch was the original Karen and they've, they've taken it to a new level. Filibuster. What do you think?

[Tony Kennett]

I gotta tell you, I'm still kind of on the fence on it.

[Rob Carson]

I think they're.

[Tony Kennett]

David Marcus has a really good column over on removing the filibuster. I still get very nervous about tearing things down. That speech from McConnell in 2013 still haunts me. Yeah, be careful what you tear down.

[Rob Carson]

But what gets done. What gets done with securing our election. What get done with anything. Right now, this Democrat Party will do anything. They will do anything to cheat and steal the midterms and then we're hosed. So I don't. I'm leaning into. I'm. Dude, dude. They have declared war on us, okay? And it's been going on for a decade. We've got two impeachments, we've 91 political charges, four indictments, trying to take him off the ballot and murdering him, and a raid on Mar a Lago. Screw it. I say screw it.

[Tony Kennett]

I hear you and I agree with that sentiment. But there's one problem. This takes responsibility off the shoulders of Congress because now they don't have to work as hard. Ah, you just get a simple majority and then press so it's done. No, Congress is lazy, they suck. And I'm sorry, the idea that I need to take responsibility away from them, oh, poor them, like we did with bureaucracy, because, well, then it's just whatever administration's in power, they'll make rules. We don't need laws. No, I think that what we need is people to hold congressional toes to the fire. But that's more work. It is more work. But if I want the Republic to last another 200 years instead of another 25. Yes, that's what's got to happen.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, absolutely. What else is going on? We've got, oh, Trump announcing low priced Ozempic. Did you hear, did you hear that Robert Kennedy Jr yesterday said that America is going to lose $125 million million pounds by next year. And that's just the View cast.

[Tony Kennett]

I think that there's a lot of people in this country who are exhausted of the craze of obesity. Yes, sorry, sorry. You mentioned the View and I mean that's really a real point that like the glorification of just obesity is not popular and not only because of drugs like Ozempic, that this is going to be going down, but also because people are going to exercise more now than they have in the last 15 years.

[Rob Carson]

I hope so.

[Tony Kennett]

Thank God. Good. That's good for your mental health as much as it is your physical.

[Rob Carson]

Physical. Did you notice I went to, I went to Target the other day. I don't know why I went into Target, but there was a Target there. I know, I know. But you go in there and you walk by the ladies frilly department and they've got over, you know, women. I almost said oversized. That would have been offensive. They got plus size models wearing underwear and swimsuits, but there are no plus sized guys. Do you ever notice that? I'm walking around, I'm seeing the guys, you know, the jockey underwear thing. This guy's got a washboard stomach. I got a washing machine stomach. I mean, honestly, why are there no plus sized guys?

[Tony Kennett]

Well, I think they are. They're just over in like the tent section because you can double those as awnings for the picnic.

[Rob Carson]

So we got that. Oh, oh, oh. Big news on the lowest, what, six straight month of zero releases by the U.S. border Patrol. See, here's the thing. Donald Trump had all of this stuff going for him is great. And last week the Democrats were the lowest popularity they've ever had. Harry Enton said that the concern about the economy was halved versus Joe Biden. Biden. Then this thing happened on Tuesday. Don't forget we still have that. Okay. Nothing has changed about that. We just had a speed bump in the middle in states that should have won. Your final thoughts on this?

[Tony Kennett]

I don't even think that this stuff is connected to the election itself, which is actually a good sign for Republicans. Yeah, New Jersey voters just didn't care and we see that all the way back in the 2024 polling, by the way. So going into the next year, there are some things that are absolute win. But this is the time to push to get going, not to just rest on laurels, which by the way, Eastern still praise, of course.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, there's a lot of good things happening. A lot of manufacturing is coming here, a lot of jobs being created and it's going to go on light speed. And then in May when the Fed reserve chair is gone and interest rates are dropped and the housing market goes through the ceiling, and combine that with the 250th anniversary of the country and Donald Trump doing a rocking party including MMA fighters, I'm thinking we're going to be in good shape next year. Year.

[Tony Kennett]

I think so too. And again, either way, this Jodi rules on the tariffs, Trump comes away a winner.

[Rob Carson]

All right, brother. Hey, great to have you on, my friend. Where can everybody. And by the way, you did a great job the other night with the election coverage. I really enjoyed watching you. Did a really nice job streaming on the Twitter. Where can people find your work, Tony?

[Tony Kennett]

Any social media you search Tony Kennett T O N Y K I N N E T T He'll find me.

[Rob Carson]

All right, brother, talk to you soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson trip.

[Unknown Political Commentator]

The old guard has been repudiated and the radicals are taking over the Democratic Party. We have evidence now every day. Yesterday Jared golden announced he would not be running for re election in the state of Maine. He's a moderate and he has no place in his party anymore. And then this morning you saw the headline. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has now announced her retirement this morning. That is a very important sign that I hope that you all will delve into. Even, even the famous San Francisco liberal is, is not far left enough for the neo Marxists. Yeah, yeah, we commend her for her services, we all do. Everyone who serves in Congress. But there should be a lot written about that.

[Rob Carson]

There's a reason why for 40 years Bernie Sanders has not been able to make anything happen as far as his socialist movement. But now he sees a young Turk in New York City. Zoran Mandami is not as big as you think he is. He talks a good game, but he's a little man, a little boy who has no life experience. And he just managed to engineer a victory in New York City with a lot of uninformed people and millions. $40 million of George Soros and others radicals money to get him into office. And so is this going to spread? Yeah, it's going to spread. It's already spread. Dear Gu God in heaven, did you see the no Kings protest? Come on, give me a frickin break, man. Did you see the summer of 2020? It's already spread. They're already there. Those people are already there. This is nothing new. This is not gonna galvanize anybody. They're already there. They're doing the idiotic crap on the weekends and then. But Karen's involved in it. Karen is involved with her emasculated husband. Is that a surprise? And it's not gonna end well for the Democrat party. They didn't learn anything after the 2024 election and they're lurching left. Okay, good. Now we have a target. Now we have a real target. And, and as I always like to say, when the left exposes its flank, what do we do? We kick its ass.

[Unknown Political Commentator]

Yeah, he's a very good rhetorician. But now the rubber hits the road because he'll be mayor and we'll see. He says that billionaires should not exist. Does that mean the Wall street people who run the financial capital of the world should leave? He says he's going to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. He's going to have a lot of foreign leaders come into the United Nations. Is he going to say you can't come and I'm going to arrest you? He says he's not going to cooperate. He didn't say he's not going to cooperate with the federal government and ice. He said he's going to oppose them. So is he going to get NYPD with guns drawn to meet ICE officers.

[Rob Carson]

And replay now because half the NYPD is going to resign.

[Unknown Political Commentator]

Port SUNTER I don't think so. I think what's happened is Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi thought it was cute to go left and they begot Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders who begot the squad who finally, the logical culmination, they begot this mondami and he's sort of like they're like Dr. Frankenstein and he's the monster and now they're going to be terrified of him.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. That's why you heard Chris Murphy saying, oh, yeah, the future of the party is Zoran Bonda. Me. But it's also, you know, Mikey Sherrill. Really? Is it?

[Hakeem Jeffries]

Is it?

[Rob Carson]

Is it? Can they, can they exist? Can, can Karen exist with the bad boy boyfriend Marxist in New Will? See, they're divided. They're more divided than Republicans, RINOs and Trump. But Trump won, you see, and it looks like the Marxists are going to win and the Democrat Party is going to disappear into the dustbin of history and become the American Communist Party. In other words, the Democrat socialism. Yeah. Hour number two of the Rob Carson show right ahead. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere.
