Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Moving Studios and Show Growth

• Rob shares personal anecdotes about moving the show into new Newsmax studios in Washington, D.C. and the excitement of interacting with live guests (00:59–03:00).
• "It's kind of odd to sit in a dark room by yourself and talk to millions of people, but I could feel your presence. And so that's what makes it easier to do. Here I actually am meeting people."
  — Rob Carson [01:37]

2. Patriotism and Military Appreciation

• Rob describes attending a military “Twilight Tattoo” event, expressing deep gratitude for the nation's armed forces and connecting their dedication to America’s enduring freedoms (03:00–07:00).
• Emotional reflection on 9/11’s impact, contrasting younger generations’ lack of lived experience with its national significance.

3. Criticism of NYC Mayor Zoran Mamdani (DSA)

• Rob denounces NYC mayor Zoran Mamdani, calling him a “spoiled and titled punk,” “a communist and an Islamist,” and “a rabid anti-Semite,” highlighting his statements on jailing Israeli PM Netanyahu while ignoring other international despots (07:00–09:00).
• Rob criticizes Jon Stewart’s alignment with Mamdani:
  "You let down your guard and you let the vampire into the house. You let the wolf into the house, and that's what you're doing, Jon Stewart."
  — Rob Carson [08:05]

4. Election Integrity Concerns

• Discussion referencing investigative journalist Marlee Hornick’s findings: up to 7% of voters in the NYC election “do not exist,” and 6% have “impossible and invalid” Social Security numbers ([10:21–12:05]).
• Debate over proper verification of elections in places like New York and LA, raising suspicions over voter rolls and non-citizen voting registrations.
• Quote: "We found more votes that are apparently illegal than his margin of victory. Again, the issue is not whether or not Mamdani won. The issue is whether or not the boards of elections in New York are actually counting fair elections."
  — Newsmax Election Analyst [11:43]

5. Non-Citizen Voting and State Systems

• Rob and contributors discuss reported findings in New Jersey, California, and other states of thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls and the lack of robust verification systems like SAVE in many left-leaning states ([13:58–18:48]).
• "It is completely unacceptable to have non-citizens on American voter rolls voting in U.S. elections."
  — New Jersey Political Commentator [14:10]
• Discussion of how Motor Vehicle Departments have been used for mass automatic registrations, furthering concerns about election fraud.

6. Spoiled Brat Socialists: Cultural and Political Critique

• Rob uses a Victor Davis Hanson clip to lampoon young leftists who want to “get rid of the president, the Senate, the Supreme Court” ([21:40–22:45]).
• “They’re throwing a little temper tantrum. They’re demanding a lot of things, but they’re not in the position to demand a damn thing.”
  — Rob Carson [22:45]

In-depth Interview with KT McFarland

1. Historical Perspective on Student Activism

• KT McFarland draws a parallel between today’s Democratic Socialists and 1960s Berkeley protesters, citing Ronald Reagan's crackdown as a turning point.
  "Governor Reagan said, you are a bunch of spoiled brats. And you are violating the law. And we are arresting you... And the students were just stunned."
  — KT McFarland [23:02–23:26]

2. Primary Elections vs. National Viability

• KT highlights that extreme candidates often win primaries due to low, ideologically motivated voter turnout, but are not competitive in general elections ([24:36]).
• She warns of the cyclical nature of American flirtation with socialism during hard economic times, referencing the Great Depression and Carter era.
• "I'm looking for the Reagan-Trump economic boom. And then that’s at the point at which we'll separate the people who are sort of flirting with socialism because of the affordability issue, separate them out from the spoiled brat crazies.”
  — KT McFarland [27:44]

3. Economic Dissatisfaction and Radicalization

• Rob and KT argue that young socialists are driven less by real hardship and more by unfulfilled expectations and worthless academic degrees.
• “The worst thing, they're having to drop a streaming service. Oh my God. Oh, the horror. For God. Really?”
  — Rob Carson [28:11]

4. Schism Within the Democratic Party

• KT predicts a realignment: “mainstream Democrats supporting Republicans," recalling how working-class Democrats became Reagan Republicans ([29:10–29:35]).

---

Iran, Middle East, and Foreign Policy

1. Escalating Confrontation with Iran

• Rob and KT review the Trump administration’s aggressive stance against the Iranian regime and the IRGC. KT describes a “split” within Iran between civilian leaders seeking survival and hardline IRGC elements committed to martyrdom ([32:09–33:16]).
• "The IRGC... want America destroyed, everybody killed, every Christian, every Jew, everybody. Israel destroyed, the United States destroyed. And you just can't stop them."
  — KT McFarland [32:09]
• “We've got to wipe them out. That's all there is to it. We can't leave a seed to grow.”
  — Rob Carson [33:16]

2. Middle East Realignment: Alliance and Peace Prospects

• KT discusses how Trump’s policies have encouraged broader Middle Eastern alliances—citing Abraham Accords, nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia and deepening U.S. relationships ([34:00–35:02]).
• “The entire Middle East is being reconfigured so that the Gulf Arabs, in peace with Israel, with the United States, they're going to trade together, they're going to work together, and Iran is the one that's now been completely surrounded and left out.”
  — KT McFarland [35:02]

---

Satire and Memorable Moments

• Throughout the episode, the show features musical and comedic parodies by Jim Gossett that lampoon Zoran Mandami and the IRGC, adding a layer of levity to serious topics.
• “Mom Donnie's a punk and he'll regret it if he flies to arrest.”
  — Jim Gossett [12:15–13:05]
• Rob invites KT to read The Night Before Christmas in-studio for an upcoming holiday special—an endearing in-joke among listeners ([38:00–38:10]).

Notable Quotes and Timestamps

• On young Democratic Socialists:
  "They're not exactly standing in soup lines. I mean, the worst thing, they're having to drop a streaming service..."
  — Rob Carson [28:11]
• On failed promises by Zoran Mandami:

[Show Announcer]

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 the Rob Carson show, our number two as we broadcast from our very new studios here in the Newsmax building in Washington, D.C. if you've just tuned in last Monday, last weekend I should say moved into the, the building, had to tear down my studio that I built in Alexandria, Virginia, moved into the Newsmax studios. And so we are on the fourth floor Newsmax building in the heart of Washington, D.C. and it is, it is just something else. And I feel like it's kind of interesting because I have been literally for the last decade in a box by myself talking to you.

[Rob Carson (brief interjection)]

All right.

[Rob Carson]

And it is kind of odd to sit in a dark room by yourself and talk to millions of people, but I could feel your presence. And so that's what makes it easier to do. Here I actually am meeting people. I was just out in the kitchen talking to one of the news anchors and you know, and I was telling her about how you go to Whole Foods in the morning and you, they got yellow stickers everywhere and you can get half price. I got three tubs of half price guacamole this morning. And I don't, I normally don't shop at Whole Foods. I don't, a whole paycheck. I don't pay, I don't pay full price. Nice little conversation. And then I met a priest this morning. Holy heck.

[Jim Gossett]

Hold on.

[Rob Carson]

Special guest out there, delightful gentleman. I'm going to have him on the, on the show, Father Benedict Kiley, the founder of Helping Persecuted Christians and had a delightful conversation with him out there. It's really kind of nice. Rather than just having three dogs that I need to let out or, you know, a wife that, you know, hates my politics in the other room. So it's kind of, it's kind of nice. It's, it's, it's delightful. And we're making some changes here. We're going to have three microphones, so we'll have guests in the studio, which is very exciting. And then also, you're going to notice when you watch the livestream. Watch right now on the live stream. You ready for this? Going to go to camera two. Boom, there it is. There's camera two right there. Now

[Show Announcer]

bring that down.

[Rob Carson]

Hold on. But anyway, yeah, go to there, camera two. There's camera two. Bump. And then back to me. So we're going to do that. That's to give you an idea of what the scene over here is. There's my neon sign and there's my monitor and all of that stuff. We're going to clean that up and then there's going to be guests over there. And, and I was showing these guys at Newsmax, these direct floor directors and whatnot, and literally the director of the, the, the newscast, and I invited him in here and I'm showing him how I run all of it myself, all of my audio and my video, and he's like, holy hell, what is going on? And it's, it's kind of, it's kind of fun. So the show's growing. It's getting bigger. Since I moved to D.C. a little less than a year ago, we became the number 10 political commentary podcast in America, right behind Victor Davis Hansen, number 41 for news and overall podcast. Of all the millions of podcasts, number 250. And we're growing, and we're growing. So there you go. There you go. Oh, by the way, I want to mention something. I was invited to something, met a meta gentleman and he is in the military get about a year out from retirement. His name is Mike Borchardt and he is from Wisconsin. And he just so happens to live in the same apartment complex. We kind of hit it off and we, we've been talking and last night he invited me to Joint Base Meyer Henderson hall for a what's called a Twilight tattoo event. And what they do about once a week in the summer, they get hundreds of soldiers together and they put on a giant show celebrating our military from the colonial army through now. And they have got drill teams and they've got this fife and drum corps and they've got a rock band. They got a rock band. This guy, one of the guitarists in the band started riffing on doing, doing Eruption from Van Halen right before you really got me. He's playing Eruption. Eddie Van Halen in the middle of this. It was, it was freaking cool. And then they, then they fire, you know, semi automatic weapons with, with blanks. Apparently. We had to move it indoors last night. When they do it outdoors, they have cannon. But it was such a show. It was such a show. And I met dozens of young military members, many of them who are recruits, who are just getting into it, dressed in the garb Of World War II soldiers or colonial soldiers or Desert Storm soldiers or civil war soldiers, Union soldiers. It was something else. I was so honored to be there. So to everyone at Joint Base Meyer Henderson hall, what a just a. I'll tell you what, I teared up so many times during this performance. It was something to behold. And it's not gonna be. It's off for the rest of the summer. So there are no more performances this summer. But I had to acknowledge what a glorious, glorious, glorious event it was this week. The mayor of New York City, who's a spoiled and titled punk named Zoran Mandami, who's a communist and an Islamist. He's an Islamist. First he said he was going to jail. Bibi Netanyahu. Now, he didn't say this about any of the other despots in the world. He didn't like Maduro being taken out of Venezuela. He never says anything about Vladimir Putin, but he wants to arrest Beni Netanyahu because he is a rabid anti Semite and an Islamist. He's a very dangerous and very dark man who paints a silly smile on his face to disarm you. Jon Stewart, who you think would know better, who lost many friends during 9 11. And one of the most powerful monologues I ever was, jon Stewart after 911 weeks later saying it's okay to laugh again. I remember that like it was yesterday. We stopped all airline flights. The skies were quiet and we could not smile. We could not laugh. It was so profoundly tragic. You cannot, you, you, you gen zers who were maybe toddlers like my son or weren't alive then. You cannot imagine it was Pearl harbor of my generation and of the millennial generation. It was Pearl Harbor. It was so overwhelming. I still. There are montages of music that I hear and I weep like it was yesterday. I weeped for a year after 9 11. And I never knew anyone who died in that tragedy. Many of you do, particularly here in Washington D.C. new York City. And whatnot but here's Jon Stewart years later. Zoran Mandami and Zoran Mandami. There are a lot of things about Zoran Mandami that say he's a very dangerous man. You've got radical imams who are still embracing him, still love him. You've got the Muslim call to prayer playing in New York. You've got at ground zero, people shouting Allahu Akbar and rallying and terrifying Jews. And yet John Stewart thinks that doesn't add up to anything. Being a Muslim Democratic socialist, I thought

[KT McFarland]

it would be pretty straightforward. You just saw like, what if I

[Rob Carson]

label myself something that scares people the most? I'm a Muslim Democratic socialist. If you scare them, you scare them twice. And I'd like to run your public transportation system. That's not even funny, John. See, there's this thing called instinct. There's this thing that you, that you protect yourself when you see things that add up and don't could end up in your harm. And everything about this creep does that. And for you to say, oh, you're so silly, particularly considering you lost so many friends on 9 11. And everything about this guy adds up to, holy crap, he's really dangerous. And he's probably, you know, he's a radical Islamist. And this, these are the kind of thinking when you're trying to glad hand people and whatnot or suck up to them like Jon Stewart. And then you let down your guard and you let the vampire into the house. You, you let the wolf into the house, and that's what you're doing. Jon Stewart, I got to tell you, very disappointed in Jon Stewart. But it's not the first time. But he wanted to arrest Bibi Netanyahu. He whipped it out and the Republicans cut it off. And so he discovered he has no power to arrest Bibi Netanyahu was absurd for this man child to even think so. Brianna Lyman had a brilliant take on this on cnn. She's been a freaking guest on this show. She's a Gen Z conservative.

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

Where exactly what he said Netanyahu, would it be to one of the jails he's trying to abolish? Would he arrest them with one of the policemen he wants to defend or when he said a social worker. And so I think his whole comment actually underscores, it underscores something bigger, which is that Mamdani doesn't actually believe in abolishing all of these things. He just believes in selectively abolishing them when they benefit him. Right?

[Rob Carson]

Well, that's 100%. That's the way Democrats are. That's the way the. The left is. They want to go after billionaires. You know, you've got Bernie Sanders calling people like Elon Musk oligarchs, but Bernie Sanders is oligarch. Bernie Sanders is in government and has enriched himself while in government. He is an oligarch. Hillary Clinton is an oligarch. The Obamas are oligarchs. That's just the way it is. Sid Rosenberg had a chance to meet him. He's a legendary broadcaster, WABC in New York City. He had a woman named Marlee Hornick on his show. She's an investigative journalist, and she's been looking at the Mondami election and has found some peculiarities.

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

Is that the New York City and the New York State boards of Elections have no idea if Mamdani won the mayoral. I actually don't know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race. And I'm not here to say that he didn't. The problem we uncovered is that.

[Rob Carson]

Listen to this.

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

At the New York City and the New York State Boards of Elections have no idea if Mamdani won the mayoral election either. Let's look at their official records.

[KT McFarland]

Yes.

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

Did they or did they not qualify the voters? 7% of the voters in that election do not exist.

[Rob Carson]

They don't exist.

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

They don't exist.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

They could be dead.

[Rob Carson]

They're not even illegals. They just don't exist.

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

No, they don't exist.

[Show Announcer]

What?

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

We also found that 6% of the voters have Social Security numbers that the SSA, the official government website, calls impossible and invalid. Right. So here's the issue. His margin of victory is 207,000 votes. We found over 230,000 votes. And we have another 1.2 million voters to study. Really? Out of 2.2 million voters we see.

[Rob Carson]

Weird, because out there that. That. What's her name, Ramen noodle. In. In LA, the mayor's race, she was behind by 35,000 votes, and then she got 40,000 votes. And it just so happens that's as many homeless people there on skid row

[Newsmax Election Analyst]

in L. A, about a million of them. We found more votes that are apparently illegal than his margin of victory. Again, the issue is not whether or not Mamdani won. The issue is whether or not the boards of elections in New York are actually counting fair elections so that we are properly represented as we are constitutionally.

[Jim Gossett]

Wow.

[Rob Carson]

That is amazing. Conceding what legal experts have long said, that he cannot legally arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jim Gazette here.

[Jim Gossett]

Muhammadani's a punk he knew he'd regret it if he tried a western me he gets all his empty threats cuz he doesn't have authority if the law he breaks a chance he takes he be in jeopardy Mom Donnie's a punk I just said it. No way he's arresting me.

[Show Announcer]

Pretty good.

[Jim Gossett]

Benjamin Let yah Donnie's a cle and an anti Semite that's why he doesn't like me An Israel and a hummus buckle that's his history wow have no respect for balance set from his city people flee Mom, Donnie's a punk and he'll regret it if he flies to arrest

[Rob Carson]

yeah he is. He is a punk Jim gosset go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy patreon.com Jim Gosset, comedy Help him, Alice. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[KT McFarland]

But in most places on earth, they believe that your rights come from your government and from your laws. But ours was founded on the belief that your rights come from your creator and from God.

[Show Announcer]

Come on.

[Rob Carson]

Caroline 11 this morning. Do you notice that, Mikey? Cheryl let's get Mikey. Yeah, he won't eat it. He hates everything. That's a Gen Z reference to a Life cereal commercial from a long time ago when we were kids. Anyway, that said, she says, you know why, why did Mikey, Sheryl, why was she so prompt? I mean, normally Democrats just go, oh, there's no voter fraud and all. Why was she so proud? Why did she want to put out this fire?

[New Jersey Political Commentator]

What I will say on New Jersey and this governor, the fact that she just all of a sudden put out a press release saying President Trump and Republicans have been right about noncitizens on our voting rolls is not a coincidence. I think this governor is saying this because she realizes this administration is serious about getting to the bottom of illegal aliens voting and being on our voter rolls in our country. The secretary of Homeland Security, as you know, sent a letter to several states, including New Jersey, that noncitizens that are on their voter rolls need to be reported to DHS and need to be removed from those voter rolls. So that's why all of a sudden she is speaking truth about the fact that this does take place in states across the country. It is completely unacceptable to have non citizens on American voter rolls voting in U.S. elections. And she says at 6600, we suspect it's a heck of a lot more, not just in New Jersey, but in states across the country. The president is hell bent on getting to the bottom of this. And it's also why we need to pass the SA that only US citizens are voting in US elections.

[Rob Carson]

Now this is very, very interesting because Mark Wade Mullen the other day said that if you don't comply with some of these new regulations for cleaning your voter rolls, etc. Election officials and politicians are going to go to jail. That's what he said the other day. Mark Wayne Mullen said that the other day. Let me see if I know I'm not going to find the clip. But that's what he said the other day. So maybe he put the fear of God in in some of these Democrats, not just New Jersey. Six states were previously clotting caught including thousands of non citizens on voter rolls. The DHS said that 190,832 non citizens registered in California. 35,000 New Jersey, 35,000 not 6,000 35,000 non citizens registered and 15,900 non citizens. Nevada, almost 15,000 in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania. And why do people register to vote? And why do politicians register people to vote? Is it because you want to go fishing? No, it's to to vote. New Jersey, one of the many states do not use the free federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls. According to The Gateway Pundit, SAVE is an online service administrated by U.S. citizen and Immigration Services. USCIS provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with the state or local officials, but many are not using. In fact 24 states are not using this system. Most of them are left leaning states. New Jersey uses this nonprofit called eric called eric. And ERIC does not screen out illegals. Does not. Does not. Does not. For some time the left has infiltrated the orbit of state Motor Vehicle Department so they can accomplish mass automatic voter registration of anyone regardless of citizenship. The New Jersey governor blamed the software company Demia for the non citizen listed on their voter rolls. But Demia later blamed the Division of Elections in New Jersey for the thousands of non citizens on its voter rolls. Demia is actually a French company. US headquarters in Reston, Virginia. 1300 employees. The Demia denial shows New Jersey has purposely overlooked the registration of illegal Al. I don't doubt this one little bit. Not one little bit. This is Rob Smith. He is a conservative and I played this yesterday. This is regarding signing up illegals for driver's licenses and why they do it. All right, the next time somebody tells

[Newsmax Correspondent]

you that there's no such thing as election Fraud. Show them this. It's done.

[New Jersey Political Commentator]

A packed room at the St. Paul Armory erupted after the governor's signature made driver's license for all the law of the land.

[Minnesota State Official]

So we give driver's licenses to anyone here.

[KT McFarland]

You don't have to be.

[Rob Carson]

This is Minnesota is the state house

[Minnesota State Official]

and you don't have to which is a photo id. So if someone comes in, they register, they have the driver's license but they have an incorrect social or no social or whatever. So then they become incomplete. But if they walk in to vote with their driver's license, is that make them all of a sudden now. Okay, Mr. Linnell.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

Madam Chair. So the designation on the roster for someone whose registration had been incomplete. If they present the election judge with that acceptable identification document, that would clear the challenge from the roster and they would be permitted to cast a ballot.

[Show Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

And in California they don't investigate voter front. So the votes happen and they're real and they're counted. Even if they're illegal. Yeah, that's the way it is. You've been. You've been caught. We've been celebrating America250 because America is built on a strong foundation, a financial foundation built by Alexander Hamilton, later embodied by the gold standard which we abandoned.

Rob Carson show before we introduce our special guest, KT McFarland, I wanted to set her up with this from Victor Davis Hansen about the Democrat socialists.

[Rob Carson (brief interjection)]

It's very funny to have these young kids start mouthing off. Well, we don't like the name President. We're going to get rid of that. And you know the Senate, that's a wealthy person. That's not fair. We're just going to get rid of that and then we'll expand the House and that'll be just like a radical Athenian, whatever they say is the law. And of course we'll get rid of the Supreme Court, we'll get rid of the president. And they have all these ideas and you think, you think that Hamilton and Jefferson and all these people died for you people. You think that we went 250 years and we fought everywhere from Iwo Jima all the way to Belleau Wood to Gettysburg so that you people could just walk in, many of them from first or second generation immigration lecturing us, oh, I think your system is no good. And I've decided that when we take power we're going to get rid of the Constitution and the founders are all racist and they're, and we're just going to say, okay, we see, we got your. No, that's not gonna happen.

[Rob Carson]

No, it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. No, it's not. That is, I had to set you up with that KT because I, I just heard that from Victor Davis Hansen and, and you know these children, they're, they're throwing a little temper tantrum. They're demanding a lot of things, but they're not in the position to demand a damn thing. I'D love to know your thoughts. And by the way, welcome to the show.

[KT McFarland]

Well, it's great to be with you. You know, all I could think of when I heard that is in 19 and it was by 1960, Ronald Reagan was governor, elected governor of California. And there were college students who were at Berkeley, they were protesting, they were occupying the President's office, they were making all these demands. And then Governor Reagan said, you are a bunch of spoiled brats.

[Jim Gossett]

Yes.

[KT McFarland]

And you are violating the law. And we are arresting you and charging you with a crime and finding you guilty. You'll be serving time. And, you know, the students were just stunned because they'd gotten away with all these college sit ins all over the country. Nobody had ever told, you know, said anything bad to them. And then Reagan turns to the cameras and he said, parents of these children, you should know better. These are spoiled brats. And it was what propelled. So Reagan did it, stopped the college sit ins in California. Reagan became probably the most successful governor in California history and then went on to become president, one of our great presidents.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I would love to know your thoughts about these, this DA DSA candidates. You know, they went in New York, they went in Colorado, they went, they're winning in liberal bastards. Then one of them got his rear end kicked up between his shoulders in Arizona the night before last. I don't think this stuff flies nationally. I do believe we should be concerned about them. We should put them out like a cigarette under the butt of our heel. But I don't believe that Americans will accept them and would not accept living under the edicts that they're proposing. What are your thoughts?

[KT McFarland]

I think they're just like Reagan said, a bunch of spoiled brats. And their parents should know better. You know, here's what's happened though, in the whole national movement of the Democrat Socialists of America. It's similar to what happened in China when the Red Guard, the students started taking over the universities. They became a political force of their own. Mao Zedong rode them for a while, you know, used them to get rid of his own political opponents. And then when they were no longer useful to him, he put them all in jail. The problem is in primary elections, and this is the primaries in the far right, the far left. Is that the craziest candidates? You know, these crazy Democrat socialists, they win a primary because in primary elections not a lot of people turn out to vote. But the people who do, who are the extremists in either party? Those are the guys who turn out to vote and often you will get a candidate. But on the far left, especially on the far left, who doesn't stand a chance in a general election.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, like the. Did you see the main senatorial debate last week with the transgendered man, whatever the hell, who said he had his menstrual cycle out the backside? I mean, my God in heaven, this is the best that the Democrat Party has to offer. I contend the Democrat Party cannot get a. A good and decent masculine man as a candid because they're so insane. And I would venture to say also when it comes to women, someone who is sane and reasonable as well. Nobody would run for office in this party because they're so nuts.

[KT McFarland]

Yeah. Every now and then, America just goes through these sort of temper tantrums and groups of Americans and then the general public, the average American, who's nothing average about the average American, they're quite smart and common sense. There's nothing common about common sense. It's actually wisdom. And so I guess I'm not as concerned as other people I know about the idiocy of these spoiled brats. What I do think, though, is that the whole issue of affordability is a serious issue in the country, and that's not a Republican Democrat issue. And President Trump understands that unless we grow the economy, we are never going to get out from under the mountain of debt and we are never going to have economic growth. That's why almost everything he's done as president, whether it's in foreign policy, whether it's in economic policy, trade policy, tax policy, has all been to grow the American economy. If you look at American history, when we've had these outbursts of maybe not quite as insane and obnoxious as the spoiled brats of today, but if you look at it, during the Great Depression, people really toyed seriously with communism, with socialism, because they couldn't figure out, you know, where's the American dream, what's happened to my country. And yet once the country then had economic growth again, that all just dissipates. Similarly, in the Carter administration, when the United States was not doing well economically, we were being pushed around all over the world, people were toying with that whole notion of socialism. And I'm not talking about the crazy people, I'm just talking about the far left toying with communism, socialism. And then once we had the Reagan economic boom, those people just faded into the woodwork. So I'm looking for the Reagan Trump economic boom. And then that's at the point at which we'll separate the people who are sort of flirting with socialism because of the affordability issue, separate them out from the spoiled brat crazies.

[Rob Carson]

Well, they're not exactly standing in soup lines. I mean, the most the thing, the worst thing, they're having to drop a streaming service. Oh my God. Oh, the horror. For God. Really? Really? I mean, how bad off do you have it as you have your Uber Eats order delivered to your freaking door? You know, this is about spoiled academics who have worthless degrees. The university system has been allowed to put kids in debt a couple hundred thousand dollars with a degree that will not pay anything at all. And these kids are getting out and they're lost. And they're lost and they've been sold a bill of goods and they've been indoctrinated with Marxism. And this is all by design. And I believe that the dsa, this movement, is the smelling salts for the people in the Democrat Party, not the leadership. For the rank and file Democrats to come out of this nonsense that they've been living under for the last decade. I really do think this could wake up those people and cleave DSA and these other crazies from the party. Your thoughts?

[KT McFarland]

Well, I think that you're going to see a lot of people who are the, quote, mainstream Democrats supporting Republicans. And if it weren't for the Trump derangement syndrome that seems to seize so many Democrats, you'd probably have a whole lot more Democrats. Democrats were defecting to the Republican Party the same way we did in the 1980s of people who defected to Reagan. The working class Democrats became Reagan Republicans.

[Rob Carson]

I think we're going that direction. It's a much tougher road to hoe. I want to cover Iran on the other side of the break. Kt, if you could hold on, I would greatly appreciate it. Such a pleasure to have you back on the air again. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor.

People like Mark make it easy to find out if you'll be the next person telling us a Relief Factor story and how it gave you your life back. Three weeks now, for just $17.76, simply go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-for relief. They'll do everything they can to help. We hope you'll be sharing your story, too. Relieffactory.com or 800, for relief.

[Newsmax Correspondent]

He's made it clear that he will consider and pursue any and every option necessary to achieve America's objective of ending the Iranian nuclear threat once and for all. How? For 40 years, this regime operated with bloody impunity. They murdered Americans, they tortured dissidents, they engaged in proxy terrorism across the region, across the globe. And of course, they're responsible for the roadside bombs that left so many of our bravest mortally wounded and terribly disfigured. Everyone wanted to push this problem aside. And of course, Obama, worst of all, funded, empowered, enabled, and led to the rise of the Iranian regime as a hegemony.

[Jim Gossett]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

And for all of our adult lives. KT McFarland My adult life, we have hoped and prayed for the freedom for the Iranian people, the Persian people. And I'm wondering if we're getting close to it. It looks like we're finally doing what I said had to happen that is wiping out the IRGC and the military industrial complex completely. What are your thoughts?

[KT McFarland]

Iran is now seemingly split, not in a civil war, but in a power struggle within it. On one hand are the civilian leaders, the speaker of the Parliament, the president, the guys that we're negotiating with, they want a deal. They know they need a deal because they know they can't survive. They can't survive economically. And there are people who look at 91 million Iranians and say, we don't want to be martyrs. We don't want our country to just be completely destroyed. We. We realize we have to rebuild for at the end, once this war is over. On the other hand, are the irgc, the Revolutionary Guard. Who are these guys? These are the guys who want to be martyrs. They want no deal with anybody anytime. They will not settle for anything. They want America destroyed, everybody killed, every Christian, every Jew, everybody. Israel destroyed, the United States destroyed. And you just can't stop them. And that's the irgc. I would have hoped by this time that with the elimination of the first tier and the second tier and the third tier of the IRGC leadership, we would have found maybe on the fifth tier there would be somebody who would make a deal with us. And so far, not. And I think President Trump Just keeps going.

[Rob Carson]

We've got to wipe them out. That's all there is to it. We can't leave a seed to grow. The Democrat Party is doing its level best to use the War Powers act, et cetera. You know, if you saw the grilling of Pete Hegseth on Capitol Hill, they're not interested in freedom for the Iranians people. They don't want it to happen under Donald Trump's watch. And I think that is absolutely sickening when you consider the prospect of what it would be like for the Iranian people to be free, for a generation of Iranian women to live in equality, et cetera. Some other things happened this week that were kind of big. The president of Iraq and Lebanon came to the White House. Big oil companies are investing in Iraq. I think we have the possibility of a millennial peace we could have only dreamed of happening in the Middle East. How about you?

[KT McFarland]

I don't think President Trump set out to do this with the Iran war. I think he hoped that the Iranian leadership would, they do a deal like they did in Venezuela, get rid of their nukes. We could work with them. Everything would be great. But they won't do a deal or the IRCC won't do a deal. So I think President Trump now is in. So that's the bad news. There's a lot of good news. And the good news is, like you said, the Iraqi leader, the Lebanese leader, came to talk to Donald Trump about an alliance. Today. The president announced that Saudi Arabia, we were going to do a nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia and that as a condition of that deal, Saudi Arabia would join the Abraham Accords. So the takeaway from Iran is that the entire Middle east is being reconfigured so that the Gulf Arabs, in peace with Israel, with the United States, they're going to trade together, they're going to work together, and Iran is the one that's now been completely surrounded and left out.

[Rob Carson]

It's really remarkable that they are seeing the possibility of capitalism, free market capitalism, enriching their people and making paradise happen during your life rather than after your life, after you've martyred yourself. I want to talk a little bit about Zoran Mandami and his threat, his threat to arrest. I mean, like Barney Fife saying, I'm going to arrest Bibi Netanyahu. What are your thoughts on his face plant? Because of this, you know, part of

[KT McFarland]

me, Rob said, oh, gosh, you know, Mayor Z, just give it a shot. Go for it.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, yes.

[KT McFarland]

If you can arrest Bibi, you'll See how quickly Israeli intelligence deals with the cops that you don't want to pay and don't like and don't believe in?

[Jim Gossett]

Yes.

[KT McFarland]

But the other part of me says no, that this is just Van Damme, you know, pandering. He knows he can't do anything to be the Netanyahu. Legally, he can't do anything practically. There's nothing he can do. But he wants to jump up and down and scream about Bibi Netanyahu as a terrible person and genocide and war crimes, and all that does is Mandami just plays to his base, by the way, he's not expanding his base, he's just pandering to his base.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I said that he is Islamist first. And the reason why there are these radical imams in New York City still embracing him and loving him, rather than saying this guy is down with the LGBTQ is because he' he's using the left like useful idiots, you know, and he doesn't believe any of it. He doesn't. He's not a socialist first, he's not a pro lgbtqia plus, he's just doing exactly what they did during the Iranian revolution and other, you know, revolutions like this, red, green revolutions of the past. And I'm hoping, and I believe he's going to fail. What do you think?

[KT McFarland]

For sure he's going to fail. He's even failing on the promises that he made to his own community where he said, you know, free groceries, free childcare, free this, free that. None of that stuff is happening. And I think the whole I'm going to assassinate or arrest or somehow torture Bibi Netanyahu is a distraction from the fact that Mandami has not delivered on all the things he said he was going to deliver on. And then if you look at where New York goes, I mean, I'm a New Yorker and I look at all the people who are fleeing New York, wealthy people who are fleeing, middle class people who are fleeing New York City. It's going to be a pretty grim place several years from now when the New York City can't afford to pay the cops or pick up the garbage.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. KT McFarlane was such a pleasure having you on. By the way, your first appearance with me in my new studio in the Newsmax building in Washington, D.C. and when this, you know, when you're. Next time you're in town, maybe around Christmas time, I would love to have you read the Night Before Christmas in person in my studio in Washington, dc. Would you be amenable to that?

[KT McFarland]

Oh, I Think that sounds like a terrific idea.

[Rob Carson]

I'll have a wing back chair brought in and we'll put a fireplace background for it.

[KT McFarland]

Okay, perfect. And to all, good night.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. Thank you so much for being on the show today. I appreciate you so much. Have a glorious rest of your week.

[KT McFarland]

Thank you. You too.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Jim Gossett]

Come

[Rob Carson]

wait for the kick. Here it is. Come on.

[Show Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

The bumper music is all mine, baby. All mine. That is a man called Dr. Funk. That's some of the best slap bass I've ever heard. Thanks to KT McFarland for being on the show. She's amazing. I referenced her reading the Night Before Christmas. Years ago, I had to read the Night Before Christmas on my radio program because she has such a marvelous voice and I told her that and she, she read it on my show and, and ever since, she's been playing it every year at Christmas for her grandchildren. We're going to have her read it here in studio. Iran will pay for any Houthi led attacks. Trump says Tehran back militants claim strikes against two Saudi linked ships. So the Houthis are getting involved here. Trump vowed major military punishment against Iran and its Houthi allies. In a true social post, he said starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night. This is going to end very badly for them. Jim Gossett came up with this about the hooties on the Rob Carson show. Boom. Don't bleep with Trump.

[Show Announcer]

Your killing days are over.

[Rob Carson]
