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 and
Rob Carson
by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to it, the final hour of the show. Ken Paxton, who is a AG for the state of Tex, joins at the bottom of the hour. He's also running for Senate down there, by the way, against John Cornyn, polling leading the polls and Wesley Hunt, another candidate in Tejas. So we'll talk to him at the bottom of the hour. If you want to chime in on the radio program, we do have a phone number. Here it is, 800-922-6680. It doesn't spell anything really. 800-922-6680. Just remember the number. Like Russia's number. Remember Russia's number. I'm not going to say it because I want to confuse you, but yeah, literally it took me years to memorize that number. It did. But 800-922-6680 is the number if you want to chime in the radio program. The the speech Donald Trump delivered the other night was widely enjoyed by a lot of people. This is the report from cnn that said the direction of the country, people agreed. The people, the number of people who agreed with the direction Donald Trump's taking the country increased 10 points during the broadcast, have walked away from his speeches thinking he's going to move it in the right direction. So a lot of red meat for the base. Yeah, there's no, no doubt about it. Among speechwatchers tonight, 64% say his policies will move the US in the right direction. And look at the growth President Trump made over the speech. So pre speech it was 54% of speech watchers said his policies will move the US in the right direction. After the speech, that number goes up 10%. Yeah. Now, as the year progresses and as more successes take place and as the economy continues to grow and as people, for instance, we're just now getting tax returns, starting to show some major money that people are getting, then this number is going to grow. You know, I said before the election, I said 80% of us believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. 80% of us can come together to save her. That's it. Right now you've got that same 8020 split in the democrat party. 80% of the democrat Party is not down, is for voter id, by the way. Close to that number are against boys competing in girl Sports. And there's 20% of Democrats who are largely in positions of power throughout the country who are recipients of money from NGOs, political PACs and whatnot. Those are the, the 20%. So there's an 8020 split. And now look what we've got. We've got a 65, 35 split between people who think that Donald Trump is taking the country in the right direction versus wrong direction. What happens when that becomes 80:20? What happens when that becomes 80 20? Because that's the direction we're headed in right now. After that speech the other night, it went up 10 points. You don't think that, you know, this, this economy as it continues to grow, as, as inflation continues to flatline, as people start bringing home more money, you don't think that's going to bode well for adding to that number, that 64 to 36 split, making that 80 20. If that's the case, then the midterms are going to be am absolutely amazing. That said James Carville. James Carville is at this point kind of bananas. I've followed James Carville for a number of years, since he was a Clinton advisor and, you know, a firebrand and all of that. But he's completely off his rocker at this point, he's just an angry, bitter old man. I remember he wrote a book about Democrats being in Power for 40 years. He's been wrong about everything. Since the Clinton years, he's been wrong about everything. I don't even understand why people listen to him. It's like Karl Rove generally wrong about most everything. Mike Pence wrong about everything. A lot of people are wrong about everything. I don't know how they continue to do what they do if they're in punditry or whatever. But James Carville wrote this book. The Democrats are going to be in power for 40 years. And then immediately after the publication of the book, Barack Obama lost both houses of Congress. And if I were, you know, that wrong, I would be kind of ashamed to show my face in public like, you know, Joe Scarborough after he said that Joe Biden was at his mentally most fit and he's still on television. He said, now listen here. And I don't give a crap what you think. Joe Biden is the smartest and the brightest he's ever been and all that. You never show your face again. Right. Not the case with James Carville. Here is James Carville talking about the State of the Union. He absolutely hated it.
Political Commentator
He has no clients. There's no dignity. He has no anything. Yes. And he, of course, he delivered a grotesque speech because he's a grotesque person. He's not going to change. The only thing I can tell you is the public has caught on to it.
Rob Carson
Then, then why did he go up, his approval go up so dramatically during the speech.
Political Commentator
And your act is coming to in and it's not that far away, but we're already going to be in pretty soon in the third month of the year. We know what happens at the beginning of the 11th month of the year, don't we?
Rob Carson
No. No clue. Because this is what you predicted last year, just a couple of months into the Trump presidency.
Political Commentator
But what I've said, very public. Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing. It doesn't need Elizabeth Warren in somebody screaming to pacify some progressive advocacy groups in Washington, which, by the way, I wish these people were just useless. They're actually worse than useless, that they're detrimental and they never, ever learn to shut up.
Rob Carson
Yeah, you should take that advice.
Political Commentator
And so, Dan, this is what I believe. I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days in the midst of a massive collapse,
Rob Carson
and of course, James was once again completely wrong. I think he forgot that he was wrong because he's still showing his Face in public. This is Jim Gosling, a classic.
Jim Gossett
Cracking up. We're about to lose our minds. Cause we know Kamala, she is toast. So Hitler way of calling trouble, pulling out all the strains, but looks like none of it is gonna work now.
Podcast Sponsor/Host
It's not working.
Jim Gossett
They're coming to take us away.
Podcast Sponsor/Host
Ha ha.
Jim Gossett
They're coming to take us away.
Podcast Sponsor/Host
Ho ho hehe ha.
Jim Gossett
To a play farm life's beautiful all the time. And we'll pretend Kamala won. And some nice men in that clean white coach Are coming to take us away. You thought it was a joke and so you laughed. You laughed when I said I lost a Trump that would surely make me flip my lid? Now they're coming to take me away.
Podcast Sponsor/Host
Ha ha.
Jim Gossett
They're coming to take me away. Ho ho, hehe ha ha. To the happy home with padded walls? And I'll get shot therapy in a room with Mon and Joe? And they're coming to take me away? With Liz Cheney and Chris Christie, Mike Pence and the women from the view that come.
Rob Carson
There you go. That is Jim Gossett. I thought I'd play that again because I haven't heard in a while. And again, spot on. That's the thing about Jim Gossett is, you know, he uses truth. That's. That's when. Solid. Well, that's when. When satire is really good, is when you actually have truth. And. And there's. That's true. Because the left is insane. Donald Trump pointed out that the other night. Couple of things I want to hit on real quick here. John Sol. Just the news. Unbelievable. He's uncovering all sorts of things going on in Fulton county, including what he just discovered that Fawney Willis. It doesn't get any more corrupt. We know that Stacey Abrams got $2 billion from the Biden administration. She had a little charity that would buy electric stoves for trailer parks, and it had no money in the bank, and they just gave her $2 billion. Okay. It doesn't get more corrupt than that, but this is pretty bad.
Investigative Reporter
Yesterday we told you that new documents we got showed that Fani Willis was recording, was working secretly behind the scenes with the Biden Justice Department, the Biden White House, and the J6 Democrats to create a double jeopardy, double drain on Donald Trump's supporters by creating a similar indictment to Jack Smith. But in Georgia, to move resources and lawyers and attention span and divide it.
Rob Carson
I told you all of those court cases were political. Duh.
Investigative Reporter
We have. We're supposed to have a justice because
Rob Carson
they came around in an election year,
Investigative Reporter
duh system that avoids double jeopardy. But in this case, you can see the plot being created by these lawyers and by the collaboration. Today, we raise a question or we provide some evidence to a question that Jim Jordan raised about a year ago. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, yes. He believed that Fani Wells is prosecution of Trump was being underwritten by the Justice Department because he saw a stream of funding. What we see, what we've provided to the public is an unusual situation in the middle of Fani Willis building her case against Donald Trump and 18 of his allies to charge them with conspiracy in and racketeering in Georgia.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Investigative Reporter
To double up on what Jack Smith charged in Washington, the Justice Department comes to Fonnie Willis and says, hey, we just want you to apply for this grant and we're going to take this grant, which is normally competitive. We're going to make it now.
Rob Carson
We're going to give you a grant, a competitive grant, but you don't need to compete because here's the deal. We're just going to give you the money and we're using the grant as an excuse, uncompetitive.
Investigative Reporter
Basically, you're the only one that's going to get the money. Just fill out the paperwork and take your cash about.
Rob Carson
It's kind of like creating an autism center or a daycare in Minnesota.
Investigative Reporter
Million dollars. It's that classic Washington grant, go help kids. Not really much specificity, but they move it from competitive to sole source, meaning it's wired just for her.
Rob Carson
It looks like they just wired 2 million fricking dollars to her old boss
Investigative Reporter
Hog way of doing business or Tammany hall way of. And I think for Jim Jordan or Barry Loudermilk, who was on our show last night investigating January 6th from the Judiciary Committee, this is a pretty serious issue for them to investigate.
Rob Carson
Now, we also know that Cash Patel and Susie Wiles were surveilled by the FBI by Jack Smith. I've got audio on that coming up because that one's blowing up big time. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is Rob Carson. Joe, by the way, I want to mention something. We are doing this trip to Gettysburg on June 11th with my anchor station WCBM in Baltimore. And we had added a second coach, luxury coach, and it sold out. It sold out faster than the first one, to be quite honest. The first one sold out in, I think, five days. The second one sold out. I mean, like, boom, it was just gone. So the second coach, luxury coach from our anchor station WCBM to Gettysburg on June 11 has been sold out. And I wanted to mention that we have some other things planned for this year. We're working on possibly a trip maybe to have you guys come Visit me in D.C. would that be cool? I would love to. And I do mean this. I do mean this. Those of you who come, if we get this thing pulled off, I'm going to show you around. I personally am going to show you around dc. We're going to, we're going to go out, we're going to take in the sights, we're going to take in the monuments because I have been around them for many years. I've been to all of them. I even spent a night in the, the Museum of American History with my son. And it was back in, when he was 10 years old, so 16 years ago and so. But I've never lost my sense of wonder and awe because this city is our city. It's our city. It's our city. And, you know, it had become a crap hole. America's Capitol had become a crap hole. And Donald Trump came in and said, I'm cleaning it up. And they got all sorts of caterwauling and bullcrap from Democrats. But he said, the reason I'm doing this is because it's not your capital. It's the America's people's capital stuff doesn't belong to the people of dc. It doesn't belong to DC bureaucrats. This is America's capital. So we're going to see all of it. And I want you to take it all in. A lot of people, you know, you live around the area here. You'll ask somebody in Montgomery county, which is near DC when is the last time you went down to the National Mall? When I was in sixth grade. Really? Really? No, you know, I went, I took someone and I went just to see the Lincoln Monument, the Lincoln Memorial in the Washington Monument. For the, you know, umpteenth time, I've taken family there and I still stood there with. And wonder. I looked at the World War II Museum with awe and wonder. I looked at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in its simplicity and, you know, just see the people's reaction to it. And going to Arlington and seeing the graves of the Challenger astronauts or seeing the changing of the guard, one of the most profound and beautiful things you could ever see. There's just so much going on here and we're paying for it. We're paying for it. So, you know, they've made it into a wonderful place and we're working on getting the trip and making it affordable for you. And again, I'm literally going to take a couple days off so I can spend it with you. There you go. Yeah. And so we're working on. Like I said, I don't want to give it all away here. I don't want to give it all away. You know, all of that, but it's gonna be pretty cool. Harmony, Dylan was talking to Benny Johnson and she says that old Ilhan Omar, she. She's in a lot of hot water because she suddenly went from almost no self worth all. No, no, you know, financial worth, I should say. And then she all wasn't worth $30 million at a vineyard win line. And she's supposed to be Sharia, whatever, compliant. And so it was all a big lie. It was all a ruse. It was like a daycare center in Minneapolis, and she's provided a lot of fraud and all that. And apparently she's in a little bit of hot water with her immigration status.
DOJ Official
I think. I think it's been well covered. And I covered it certainly myself before I joined the doj that, you know, certainly it's, it's. It's a. It's a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship, if you lie about being a though that you weren't.
Rob Carson
They say 50% of Somalis in Minneapolis have lied about their status to get into the country.
DOJ Official
Nazi. You know, guard at a concentration camp, you can be denaturalized if you lie about your marriage status that.
Rob Carson
Oh.
DOJ Official
On which your citizenship depends or, or your familial status or what have you. If you fake any of those documents or you lie, that's a grounds for denaturalization. And so I think it's been, you know, credibly alleged that there are, you know, serious questions about the circumstances of the paperwork around that naturalization. I'll just leave it at that.
Ken Paxton
I'm out.
Podcast Sponsor/Host
Yeah.
Rob Carson
Yeah. I hope she gets her. I hope she gets her rear end kicked the hell out of the country. I'm sick of her crap, to be quite honest. I'm sick of people coming here who, who would go fly in the face of. Of our ancestors who with pockets empty and busted their butts plowing fields or building buildings or doing the hard work that it took to build this country to the greatest country in the history of mankind, and she flies her sorry rear end over here. She was a spoiled, entitled brat in Somalia. Her. Her daddy was in power over there. He was. He was a warlord, essentially. And she escaped with her hide and brought her, her friends with her. And they've stolen billions and billions and billions of dollars. And I hope that she is kicked out of Congress, I hope that she is indicted, and I hope she is deported, penniless, back to the hellhole that is Somalia. To hell with her. Harmony Dhillon is also asking states for their voter rolls because there's so much ID theft and vote stealing out there. This is why the Democrat Party is trying to, you know, make, make sure you don't have to present an ID when you vote because it's worked quite well with them stealing votes, you say. Here she is talking about the five new states that are denying turning over voter rolls and I believe SNAP benefit information.
DOJ Official
Exciting election law news here at the DOJ Civil Rights Division.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
DOJ Official
Today we sued five additional states for their refusal to turn over voter rolls in response to the attorney General's request for the Civil Rights act of 1960.
Rob Carson
Cool.
DOJ Official
Specifically, we sued what, West Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and New Jersey. This brings to almost 30 states that we are suing in addition to the District of Columbia. And we will not rest until we have resolved this litigation throughout the United States. Now, speaking of which, we have had a couple of adverse rulings in different courts. We disagree with that hodgepodge of Obama judges that plaintiff's lawyers have thrown up against the wall. So we have filed our notices of appeal promptly.
Rob Carson
There you go. Yeah, they're trying to clean up the voter rolls and they're also going to try to do the SAVE act, which, you know, Democrats are fighting and some Republicans as well. By the way, Trump is seeking the executive power over elections. And what he wants to do is declare an emergency. And this is why Chelsea Gabbard has been involved in Fulton County, Georgia, because she is there to try to prove that there has been foreign interference in our elections, whether it be voting machines or whether it be China or Venezuela involved in, in corrupting the elections. And if that's the case, then he would have grounds to use emergency power to write an executive order that you need an id. There you go. How's that? I think it sounds like a pretty good idea. Think it sounds like a pretty darned good idea. This is J.D. vance talking about Wisconsin, Wisconsin doing the same thing, not turning over voter rolls or SNAP benefit recipients. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Matt Smith from WISN TV in Milwaukee. Listen to the fraud efforts and what we saw in Minnesota yesterday, here in Wisconsin, the governor that we have, because
Newsmax Announcer
we've got to stop this terrible fraud. But that is absurd. Ask yourself.
Rob Carson
He's talking about Wisconsin. They're not going to turn over the voter rolls because they want to keep the vote corrupt.
Newsmax Announcer
Question why would the government of Wisconsin not want to help us kick fraud off of the welfare rolls and kick fraud off of the voter rolls? And the only answer I can possibly come up with is because they like to cheat.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Newsmax Announcer
There's no other real explanation. Now the governor might say, in fact, I'm sure the governor would say this. Let me just be charitable to those who disagree with us. The governor would say, well, there isn't as much fraud as the Trump administration believes there is. Well, even if that's true, and it's not, but even if that's true, let's get what fraud there is off the voter roll.
Rob Carson
Yeah, they don't want fraud investigated. They don't investigate it at all in California. They don't. The new Governor Scamberger in Virginia wants to make it off limits to investigate welfare fraud, NGO fraud and vote fraud as well. It's obvious Democrats only win by steal. Ken Paxton joins us next.

Rob Carson
We are waiting for Ken Paxton to call. He's driving around the state. He's campaigning for senator. You know, it's John Cornyn and Wesley Hunt for the primary. And then on the other side, it's James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett in Texas. I guess I've heard that she's out in front. I mean, she is in front. I got One poll that says 38, 37. Who cares? Honestly, who cares? She keeps shooting herself in the foot, badmouthing the people of Texas, you know, people living in the. You know, in the country and whatnot. She's. Because she's not Texan, all right? She's a deb from St. Louis. She is a spoiled little private school girl from St. Louis. That's what she is. And she changes her stripes. She changes her vocalization depending on the crowd. I haven't heard her go full redneck if she's been out in the. You know, she goes all hood when she's talking to black crowds. I don't know if she becomes all cowboy when she's out in the. You know, in the hinterlands in Texas. I don't know. Hard to say with her. But anyway, we're waiting for a call from. From McKenn Paxton to talk about his campaign. Among other things. There's some other things in the state of Texas I want to talk about. Christy Noem reveals a deep state DHS staffer installed spot spyware on her phone. Phone and laptop. That's how bad the deep state is right now. The 10 FBI staffers who worked on the Mar A Lago documents case been fired. But a whole lot of other people need to be fired. Here is Kristi Noem talking about what she's discovered at the dhs. This isn't about right now, the phone and the computer. Computer. This is about a skiff room.
Kristi Noem
Believe what I found. Since I've been in this department, I just.
Rob Carson
Talking to Patrick bet David, by the way, he's a hell of a good guy.
Kristi Noem
Found the other day a whole room in. In on this campus that was a secret.
Rob Carson
What is he here? No. Voicemail. Okay.
Kristi Noem
Skiff secure facility that had files nobody knew existed. So we just happened to have a. An employee walk by a door and wonder what it was and started asking questions. We went in there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most contro topics like that. And now I've got that turned over to attorneys and we're getting to the bottom of what exactly happened there. You know, we have cbp, which is Customs and Border Protection. They know every traveler that comes into this country, every good that comes in,
Rob Carson
they're the one they're dealing with. I mean, this is a swamp, guys. This is a city that is operated as its own cabal for decades. It has shut us out. This is, you know, Donald Trump was a stranger in a strange land. This is why they went after him. This is why they. They did everything they could to destroy him. This is why it's so remarkable. He lived through it. Nobody else would have survived what Donald Trump went through, what the deep state threw at him. Russia collusion to. To surveil his campaign, then his, Then his candidacy, then his transition team, then his presidency. They made up Russia collusion. Barack Obama made up Russia collusion when it had been proven in the December before Donald Trump was sworn in, when it didn't prove it. There was no collusion. And they did it to derail his presidency. And immediately they had an impeachment locked and loaded. He had to go through a stinking impeachment. Then several years of this nonsense. And then, you know, of course, the classified documents bullcrap case, and then in four political indictments when he left office, then they tried to take him off the ballot, then they tried to kill him. Then they raided Mar A Lago, for God's sake. It's never been done. It's never been done. Every agency, they took him off social media. The chief counsel for the FBI left the FBI in 2018, went to Twitter to go after Donald Trump. They took him down off all social media, all of the cases he was not allowed to talk to the press, all of them. Gag order on Donald Trump. Every single one. They threw everything at him. Everything. No one could have survived the onslaught. Donald Trump did, and it's miraculously he did. Here's Christine Ohm saying that staffers, this takes some ball seriously, staffers to go after the director phone and computer, that
Kristi Noem
some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me, to record our meetings. They had done that to several of the politicals. And so we ended up bringing in people. And that was something that if you didn't have those technology experts here in the department looking at all of our laptops and our phones and recognizing that kind of software, it would still be happening today. So one of the things I need to do and continue to do to
Rob Carson
fire a whole lot of people is what you need to do is partner
Kristi Noem
with technology companies and experts to bring them in and help us, because I'm
Rob Carson
going to tell you, we've got to get these midterms. We got to win These midterms. And we've got to start perp walking some people. Got to stop. Start perp walking some people. And you've got 10 FBI staffers worked on the Marlowe documents case, been fired. And also we find out the FBI had subpoenaed records of phone calls made by Cash Patel and, and Susie Wiles. We'll get to that. But I believe we have Ken Paxton on the Newsmax hotline. How you doing, my friend?
Ken Paxton
Hey, I'm doing great. How are you doing, brother?
Rob Carson
I appreciate you. I know you're bloody busy. You're in the middle of campaigning. You're also the AG for the state of Texas. Welcome to the show. Glad to have you on. Let's start talking about. Let's start talking about the campaign. I've been seeing a lot of good polling. It looks like John Cornyn is pulling some dirty tricks that appear to have backfired a little. What's going on with the race?
Ken Paxton
So it's going well. We're in Corpus Christi today waiting for the president fly in. But yes, things are going well. John Cornyn is not doing well because he does not have a message because he's literally in the last 40 years been in office and he's not accomplished anything for the, for the state of Texas or for the country. So people realize that, especially Republican voters, and they're going to send them home.
Rob Carson
Yeah, I think, I think that we're tired of the, of the swamp dwellers, the insiders and whatnot. Were tired of the inaction of things like, for instance, the save action should be a gimme. Right.
Ken Paxton
John Corner has been there a long time. He could have done something about citizenship. He could have done something about voter id. He could have done something about mail in ballot fraud. He's done nothing. He's spoken out about it. Nothing. Nothing's accomplished. He's sitting there wanting another term, his fifth term, which would be 30 years in the Senate. And yet here we are with the most basic things that the president's asked for not getting done, and John Cornyn is not there to make it happen.
Rob Carson
One of the biggest concerns of your constituents in Texas. And, and also I'll mention, how have things changed for the people of Texas since Donald Trump sealed that southern border? It must be a whole different ball game, particularly down by the border.
Ken Paxton
Well, there's no doubt it, I mean, the illegal immigration basically came to a dead halt. And yet again, John Cornyn was not part of the, part of the solution. He fought President Trump on the border wall. He pushed Amnesty. That's the only thing he's really pushed since he's been in the U.S. senate and of course fought Donald Trump at every move, including funding that border wall. So, you know, Donald Trump's done the job. John Cornyn has done just the opposite. He's fought him.
Rob Carson
Yeah. There's a lot of other stuff going on. You as the AG in the state of Texas, never a dull moment. One of the big stories out of Texas is these communities of Islam, Islamists trying to spring up all over Texas. What sort of headway are you making there? There are a lot of municipalities around the country that are rejecting them. What sort of, what sort of success are you having and why are they choosing Texas to do this?
Ken Paxton
Well, that's a good question. You know, look, we believe in the First Amendment. You have whatever religion you want. However, you cannot live in Texas or you shouldn't be able to live anywhere in the United States and promote a separate law system, separate legal system, Sharia law is that. And so we are, we've sued the epic people who are in my home county, who are, who've done some things that are, that are illegal, including violate state and federal securities laws and working at other angles as well. So if you want to be in our country, you can worship however you want to. However, not in Texas. Can you go on your own system of laws that are outside of the Constitution, that are outside of federal and state law?
Rob Carson
Yeah, absolutely. I know you're busy. Can you hold through the next break? Since we were kind of running a little. Okay. I love it. I love it. Thank you so much, my friend. I appreciate you. We got Ken Paxton on. He's the AG of the state of Texas running for Senate of the State of Texas. More with him on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you is all the real stories. Like Sandra, she tells us. I've been hearing about Relief Factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With a three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words. And it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer, too. Call 800 for relief. That's 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? This is Rob Carson. Joe, Ken Paxton, AG for the state of Texas, running for Senate in the state of Texas. By the way, you can go to kenpaxton.com if you want to learn more and help him out. You know, Ken, the, the harder they go after the target, I think the bigger the threat they feel that you are. You certainly have endured a lot of that as the AG of Texas. And why do you suppose so many people are threatened by you, not only as the AG but also as potential senator?
Ken Paxton
Look, there really is a uni party and it's, you know, combination of Democrats and some of these establishment Republicans who are happy with the way things are moving along. They all benefit the people of Texas and the people of this country are harmed by that. And when you start infringing upon that, moving some of their people out, beating them in elections, guys like John Cornyn who have been allied with the swamp, Mitch McConnell and others, then they're threatened by that and they come after you in every possible way. But John is not running out of positive message because he doesn't have one. He hasn't had one after. He hasn't accomplished anything. He's only done things to help Joe Biden and he's only done things to harm our current president. So now what are they going to do? They start attacking again? No positive message, only a negative message on me. And I have a positive message and that's that we're going to change this country and we're going to represent the people of Texas the way they want to be represented. Instead of starting with Joe Biden to oppose Second Amendment rights or siding against the president of the United States now on the border wall, we're going to be for him, we're going to be with him.
Rob Carson
What do you, what do you hope to accomplish? What do you think the primary, the priorities of you and then Congress should be during the second half of the Trump administration? And by the way, I don't believe it's a gimme that the Democrats are going to take both houses. Congress, they have no positive message. They have a losing record and they are, I think, doing a death spiral into hell, to be quite honest. But what do you think about the midterms and what are your priorities going to be?
Ken Paxton
Well, first of all, the president mentioned one that is a priority for me and that's election integrity, fixing the mail in ballot fraud, making sure that only citizens can vote and making sure that we protect our elections and we have photo ID so that we know who's voting. You can't have a more important issue. Everything else goes to the wayside if the Democrats can cheat and they're cheating all over the country. And I know that from what I've had to deal with with fraud in Texas. So the budget is a huge issue. Obviously, since John's been there, it's gone from 6.2 trillion, which was from Washington to him, and now it's 38 trillion. He's been part of the problem. And then, of course, standing with President Trump, whether it's on the border or whether it's on other issues, you know, he can't count on John Cornyn. John Corner is not his fan. He is right now only because of the election. But after the election's over, we know where John's going. So at least President Trump will have a reliable ally, which he has not had from Texas.
Rob Carson
And John Cornyn, you got two pretty extreme Democrats running in the primary. You got this Talarico guy who, you know, made some hay with, with late night TV about a week ago. And then Jasmine Crockett, I like to say she's a spoiled Deb from St. Louis. She's about as Texas as is as Gavin Newsom. What are you hearing about that race? It looks neck and neck, but what is it? What's the possibility that either one of those could be elected?
Ken Paxton
Look, I don't think in Texas they're both so liberal. Jasmine doesn't pretend. And Talarico hides behind this. You know, he's a Christian pastor, but none of his views sound like Christian pastor. He's a liberal. He's. And once that's exposed, the people of Texas, we're not going to vote for a liberal Democrat. It's not going to happen. We haven't elected a Democrat Statewide since 94. It's not going to start now.
Rob Carson
Yeah, and I would venture to say also she, I don't know, she seems like a carpet bagger to me. To be quite honest. She does not seem genuine whatsoever. She keeps saying bad things about people in the country. She was saying. And yeah, you know, most rural people, they collect all the SNAP benefits. I mean, how are people reacting to that? I can't imagine she has any connection when you go around, you know, I've been to some rodeo events in the state of Missouri for my father, ex father in law was running for judge. I can't Imagine she goes over real well at rodeo events and whatnot.
Ken Paxton
No, she's not going to do well in Texas. She might be able to win a primary in the Democratic prime because that's so left leaning. But when you get to just the regular people affected, that's not gonna fly here.
Rob Carson
Well, I think you've done some great things in Texas. One of the things that I notice you, you outlawed care, the Council on Islamic Relations there. You've done some other things with these, these anti ICE protests in Texas schools. How's that going by the way?
Ken Paxton
You know what, it's going good. We're investigating some of the schools right now to try to stop them because they are actually allowing kids to go out the door to go work, work at these protests of ice, which is insane. First of all, they should be in school no matter what's going on. And second of all, they should not be out protesting ice. That's insane and we're going to stop it.
Rob Carson
Yeah. Well, I'm glad and I appreciate you for being on the show today. Wish you the very best with the, with the campaign. Again, just go to kenpaxton.com is there anywhere else people can go to help you out? Ken?
Political Commentator
Yeah.
Ken Paxton
Follow us on Twitter@KenPaxton TX and then make sure today's the last day of early voting. So 7pm anywhere in Texas and then of course election day is Tuesday. So look, we have a chance to win this outright. I just need people to get out vote.
Rob Carson
I noticed also Trump has not endorsed anyone yet. Clearly that endorsements kind of coming after, after the primary. So we wish you the very best. Thank you for fighting the time for us today. It's been a while since I talked to you and I do appreciate you sir.
Ken Paxton
Absolutely. Have a great weekend.
Rob Carson
Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Wrap up the show today with the crazy cat lady of the day. I did a video about what's happening in Minneapolis. The the left, the crazy Karens, the liberal Karens, the white liberal Karens have done what you call crafted their own bed. Target is leaving. Target is leaving Minneapolis. They're paying their 110 million dollar lease off and vacating the building because they don't want to be part of it anymore. They crapped on their own. Bravo ladies. Look what you did. Why would you protest ICE by going into your favorite woke store and shutting them down? You guys are so stupid. That said, before I do the crazy get lady, my TV show is called Rob Carson's what in the World. It's Sunday night at 8:30. I need you to watch it. Okay. This Sunday night. Very funny rapid fire comedy following Dr. Michael Savage. I know it's kind of a weird just to position you got Dr. Michael. But by the way he says my show is the funniest thing. He loves my show.
Ken Paxton
Show.
Rob Carson
Michael Savage loves my show. Maybe that's why it runs after Michael Savage's show. But anyway. 8:30 Sunday night. Rob Carson's what in the world. Here is our crazy and rather pointless white liberal Karen crazy cat lady of the day.
Crazy Cat Lady
Good morning. It's Monday. I have a question for those that have voted for this administration.
Rob Carson
Yes, me right here.
Crazy Cat Lady
Did you vote for the department education be taken out?
Rob Carson
Yes.
Crazy Cat Lady
Dismantle.
Rob Carson
Did you go for that? Yes.
Crazy Cat Lady
I'm just curious.
Rob Carson
Yes, I did.
Crazy Cat Lady
I'm sure you wanted them to change things but this may.
Rob Carson
Yeah, because you see they've been around 40 years and every metric of education has gone down into the toilet.
Crazy Cat Lady
You see to laying a department that helps your children and helps.
Rob Carson
It does not. It ruined the schools.
DOJ Official
Actually a lot of people.
Rob Carson
No.
Crazy Cat Lady
Putting it with the states. Does not is not the answer. Especially states don't have any.
Rob Carson
It is actually. Look at Mississippi. They've just turned things around.
Crazy Cat Lady
Taxes. And if they're going to start taking those away too like our children will hurt for this.
Rob Carson
Okay, pointless.
Crazy Cat Lady
They want to take away abortion. If you have a baby you got
DOJ Official
to take care of.
Crazy Cat Lady
They don't help you.
Rob Carson
Oh no. What? Oh my God.
Crazy Cat Lady
There. Then you take away education support.
Rob Carson
Well, you don't need the education if you kill the baby.
Crazy Cat Lady
I just. I'm curious.
Rob Carson
Wow. You. You also do not have a point at all. And so you get this from Jim Gossett, our crazy cat lady theme song on the Rob Garza joke.
Jim Gossett
Well, they have a lot of cats and they're all Democrats we call them Karen rare They have a whiny voice they are all pro choice and mostly barren yeah, thank God. The cat ladies rare Whoa, whoa, whoa the cat ladies Talking about some miserable ladies who have clearly lost their minds these Karens don't like ice they often pay a price Mistakes they're making they
Rob Carson
got rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle
Jim Gossett
Ben Karenism is their curse could go to jail or worse for their law
Rob Carson
break they got rid of the Redskins
Jim Gossett
they did it thick at ladies rare don't have a child they're cat ladies Talking about submissible ladies who are out of their mind There you go.
Rob Carson
That is Jim Gassett. Jim Gassett. Only on this here radio program, the only program in America that continues in the great tradition of Rush Limbaugh, which I started. Actually, I started writing comedy for Rush Limbaugh when he was still running Weird Albits. I know it was a long time ago. I was in my 20s, in my early 20s, right out of college, and I said, hey, can I write for you? And he said, okay, sure. And I started writing for him. So anyway, the comedy is still alive and well here. I think it's an important part of making a point as we overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism. I'll handle the mockery, ridicule and satire and let Donald Trump handle the economy and the butt kids kicking. Sounds like there could be some butt kicking this weekend with regard to Iran. I'm praying for our soldiers and I'm praying for the people of Iran that they are freed after 47 years. And the Ayatollah goes straight into the pits of you know where. Saturday night, Sunday night, I should say Rob Carson's one the world. In the meantime, God bless you, America's founder, Donald Trump and what he's doing. And until Monday, don't catch us stupid. I'll see you then. This episode is brought to you by Nespresso Introducing Vertuo up, the latest in a long line of innovation from Nespresso.

(39:00–41:31)
This episode delivers a high-energy, comedic-yet-serious look at the 2026 political landscape, with a strong focus on Texas U.S. Senate politics, alleged corruption, and border/election issues. The Rob Carson Show’s blend of analysis, mockery, and guest insight—especially the Ken Paxton interview—will resonate with conservatives and those critical of political insiders, media hypocrisy, and the “deep state.” The tone remains light and entertaining but with a pointed critique of established power structures.
