Overview

This episode delivers Rob Carson’s classic satirical take on current politics, culture, and news, featuring in-depth commentary and parody. Rob opens with humorous jabs at political figures and policies, delves into the latest controversies on Capitol Hill, discusses international affairs including Trump’s trip to China, Iran policy, and antisemitic protests in New York. The tone is irreverent, sharply critical of Democrats, and unapologetically pro-Trump. Highlights include clips from congressional hearings, a spirited discussion with military expert Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, and a comedic musical break lampooning political opponents.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Capitol Hill Drama: Margaritas & "Morons"

• Rob critiques the recent hearings questioning FBI director Kash Patel, labeling Democrat senators "morons," especially targeting Maryland’s Chris Van Hollen for hypocrisy and grandstanding ([01:06-06:28]).
• [Notable Quote | Rob Carson, 05:59:]
  “You just look like a moron. Because you are a moron, Chris Van Hollen. You’re a frickin’ moron.”
• The exchange centers around accusations that Patel was drinking on the job, which Patel refutes with evidence of his professional record, redirecting scrutiny onto Van Hollen’s own questionable conduct overseas with MS-13 figures.
• Carson ridicules the Capitol’s "booze culture" and uses this to spotlight double standards and “baseless, fraudulent, false, personal attacks” against conservatives ([06:28-07:42]).

FBI Achievements Under Kash Patel

• Patel outlines significant law enforcement statistics since his tenure:
  • 20-point drop in homicide rate
  • 45,000 violent offenders arrested last year
  • 2,450 criminal gangs disrupted
  • 6,900 child victims located
  • 2,900 child predators and traffickers arrested
  • 8 of the top 10 most wanted fugitives captured in 14 months
    ([06:45-07:28])
• [Notable Quote | Kash Patel, 07:29:]
  “If people want to continue the baseless, fraudulent, false, personal attacks at me, that’s great. Keep the target on me...But the mission has never been better.”

Immigration, Child Trafficking & Government Accountability

• A tough interview with former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra is featured, highlighting the issue of unaccompanied minor migrants and alleged failures in government oversight ([08:39-10:21]).
• Carson and guests allege Becerra evades responsibility, referencing a NYT investigation on missing children and exploitation after being released by HHS ([09:00-09:36]).
• [Notable Quote | Rob Carson, 09:36]
  (sarcastically) “Stitch those soccer balls, you little toddlers. You’ve got your quota to meet today before you’re beaten and given your water and cabbage.”

Inflation & Economic Satire

• Rob riffs on historic inflation under Biden, poking fun at the cost of living and grocery bills ([11:23-12:51]).
• Trump is quoted defending his inflation record and projects (including a “ballroom” expansion), with Carson lampooning both media and political adversaries for misunderstanding basic economics ([12:27-12:43]).
• [Notable Quote | Donald Trump, 12:43:]
  “Get under budget and ahead of schedule, you double. I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. Double the size.”

Political Power Plays & Legislative Antics

• Carson targets Democrat lawyer Marc Elias for calling to abolish Virginia’s state government because of redistricting losses ([14:55-16:55]).
• Tennessee Democrats are criticized for staged protests disrupting legislative sessions; Carson commends their removal from committees as necessary discipline ([17:40-18:36]).

Redistricting, Gerrymandering & Satire

• Carson and Jake Lang perform a parody song skewering “Rinos” (Republicans In Name Only) in South Carolina for failing to act on redistricting, predicting political payback ([19:27-20:34]).
• The segment pivots to a critique of Democratic efforts to maintain racial gerrymandering for political advantage ([20:40-22:00]).
• [Notable Quote | Carson, 20:40:]
  “Republicans are gaining a lot of seats because they got rid of illegal racial gerrymandering which only kept people of color in poverty with poor schools, dependence...”

Foreign Affairs & Military Strategy

Trump’s China Visit—Analysis with Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt

[24:35-31:27]

• Trump is said to enter China with strategic leverage; the trip is framed as a demonstration of U.S. strength and business acumen, especially with billionaire allies like Elon Musk present.
  • [Brig. Gen. Holt]: “President Trump’s rolling in with the leverage here… their [China’s] economy is really in trouble…”
• Holt argues Trump’s soft public approach toward Xi Jinping is deliberate, ‘Sun Tzu’ strategy to undermine the CCP from within.
  • [Holt, 26:33:]
    “All you have to do is get to the end of the equation, which is he’s up to something…with accolades and compliments going to Xi Jinping, he’s interjecting himself into CCP politics.”
• The visit is positioned as both a diplomatic and economic maneuver to reassert American global dominance and discourage CCP adventurism.

Iran: War, Peace, and Oil

[32:52-36:55]

• Scenario of imminent conflict with Iran, amidst rumors of secret military strikes coordinated with UAE/Saudi Arabia.
  • [Donald Trump, 33:09:]
    “It’s very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear Weapon. They know that.”
• Holt explains that current maneuvers are “preparatory fires for the revolution of Iran to commence”; US strategy is to destabilize the regime, empower Iranian people, and secure regional energy supplies.
  • [Holt, 34:08:]
    “What they’re actually doing is preparatory fires for the revolution of Iran to commence… it is going to end in bombs, bullets and logistics.”
  • Prediction: By mid-July, a major shift is expected in the region.

Israel, U.S. Relations & Mideast Peace

[36:55-37:39]

• The complexities of U.S.-Israel strategy gaps: Holt supports Israel’s desire for more independence but notes continued deep military cooperation.
• Outlook is optimistic for a new “millennial peace” in the Middle East, building on the Abraham Accords, though radical elements still pose challenges.
  • [Holt, 36:21:]
    “I believe there’s going to be a millennial peace Middle East like we’ve never seen before…”

War Powers & Partisan Cynicism

[37:39-38:38]

• The Senate blocks war powers resolutions seen as attempts to stunt Trump’s ability to achieve a legacy-defining victory over Iran.
  • [Holt, 38:05:]
    “They are absolutely welded to [the determination], ‘I’ll do whatever it takes to stop this man from getting a legacy type victory.’”

---

Urban Unrest: Protests & Antisemitism in New York

[40:01-42:52]

• Rob condemns ongoing protests in NYC as acts of “terrorism,” not legitimate free speech.
  • [Rob Carson, 41:19:]
    “It’s terrorism is what it is, and it’s got to stop.”
• He calls for strong federal/state response and, in trademark comedic fashion, parodies unity efforts through the musical bit “Homeboys, Hillbillies & Hebrews.”
• The rise in antisemitism is linked by Carson to the current city/state/federal Democratic leadership; he pushes for deportation/denaturalization of those fomenting hate under the guise of protest.
  • [42:34:] “This is not protest... This cannot stand. This is Kristallnacht all over again. And just because we have an Islamist as the mayor of New York City doesn’t mean we don’t protect our Hebrew brothers and sisters from the terror...”

• Trump on economic strategy:
  “I doubled the size of it, you dumb person.” ([12:43])
• Holt’s theory on Trump and Xi:

• On Iran:

Now.

[Donald Trump]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world World wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

This is our number two of the Rob Carson Show. Welcome to it. Please come inside and have a seat. Of course, obviously we've talked a lot about the hearings on Capitol Hill today with whistleblower and Rand Paul talking about the COVID cover up and how it did of course come from a lab in China and we of course did pay for it and duh. So we're not gonna spend any more time on that. We will follow it as it develops. It's a little difficult when you're doing a nationally syndicated radio program and you're trying to keep up on everything. Trying to keep up on everything. But there is much, much, much to cover. Cash Patel's doing a great job as the FBI director. Joe Biden was a terrible president. He had his FBI director more concerned about going after his political enemies than Donald Trump than actually crime. And crime, of course, went through the ceiling after the summer of 2020, which was of course made and built by the Democrat Party, Black Lives Matter, et cetera, to affect. And they never looked back. And life has been a living hell for American inner cities for decades. But they put the pedal to the metal during the summer of 2020. And now we have an FBI director who's doing a great job. Bondi did a pretty good job, but, you know, she had to go. And now Cash Patel is there. And yesterday, of course, the Democrat party wanted to get their sound bites and they acted like complete morons, which is, of course, you know, how they, how they are, how they behave. And yesterday, Chris Van Hollen, of all people, just a despicable human being senator from the state of Maryland, which is, he has become a crap Hole supreme. I'm not meaning to rip on the people of Maryland. I'm sorry that those of you who did not vote Democrat have had to watch your state disintegrate into a crap hole supreme. But unfortunately you have representatives like this idiot who defended a MS.13 gang member who was caught trafficking young women for sex, who's committed all sorts of acts of violence, who was gonna be deported by the Trump administration and Von Hollen. Dec decided to fly out of country and meet with the guy and have a margarita and then of course had the audacity as a sitting congressman. Did you know this on Capitol Hill when you go to the State of the Union address, I guess the booze is so strong, the smell of it, that if it were a DUI checkpoint the police officer would say step out of the car. Give me your license and registration to everybody in the room, okay? There is more booze concerned on Capitol Hill on a weekend than in Mardi Gras for five years. It is really, it is a booze ridden place. Booze is used to ply politicians for God's sake. And this guy had the audacity to go after with, with unsubstantiated reports while he's doing an amazing job as FBI director with salacious bull crap about him supposedly drinking. And it didn't end well. Very, very well for Von Holland. Hold on, let me grab it for Von Holland. Let's try it again.

[Cash Patel]

Ultimate example of hypocrisy.

[Rob Carson]

Chairman.

[Cash Patel]

I will not be tarnished by baseless allegations.

[Javier Becerra]

Let me ask.

[Cash Patel]

Fraudulent statements from the media.

[Interviewer]

And so there have been no occasions when your security detail had difficulty waking or locating you, is that right?

[Cash Patel]

Nope. It's a total farce.

[Rob Carson]

Joe Biden for four years slept through the entire damned day and put a lid on his day at noon, sometimes earlier.

[Cash Patel]

I don't even know where you get this stuff, but it doesn't make it credible because you say so.

[Interviewer]

I'm not saying it, Director Patel. I, I, it's been written and documented.

[Cash Patel]

You are where?

[Rob Carson]

Exactly. Where, where exactly there, sir.

[Cash Patel]

Early saying it.

[Interviewer]

No, I'm saying that these are reports, Director Patel.

[Rob Carson]

Unlike these are reports, these are reports that you had sex with Bigfoot. We just, they're just reports.

[Cash Patel]

Unlike baseless reports. The only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gang banging rapist was you. The only person that ran up a

[Rob Carson]

thousand dollar because there were videos of

[Cash Patel]

that bar tab in Washington D.C. was you.

[Interviewer]

This in this room.

[Cash Patel]

Allegations, drinking on taxpayer dime during this

[Rob Carson]

is all you got, Senator. My God.

[Interviewer]

Graphing you, Director Patel. Come on. These are serious allegations that were made.

[Rob Carson]

Again, no, they're not. They're not serious allegations to you.

[Interviewer]

Their allegations are filed.

[Cash Patel]

You drinking margaritas with a gang just goes to show you running a $7,000 bar tab at the lobby bar has been filed by your own office. Goes to show during the day that's you.

[Interviewer]

The fact that you mentioned that indicates you don't know what you are talking about.

[Rob Carson]

Well, what have you just said that indicates you don't know what you're talking about? I don't know. Citing salacious unsubstantiated reports that. That Cash Patel has been drinking.

[Interviewer]

Now here directly.

[Cash Patel]

Thing I know is you're the one drinking margaritas with.

[Interviewer]

Actually, that's a false statement. And I'm asking you about your statements. I've answered that and I'm asking you about a particular.

[Rob Carson]

You just look like a moron. Because you are a moron, Chris Van Hollen. You're a fricking moron. How? Oh, and then this is pretty funny. This is a little montage somebody put together because somebody wanted to challenge Cash Patel in saying that he wasn't some old gray haired Karen. I don't know who this woman is. I've seen her before. She's an old crazy cat lady. Liberal Karen probably didn't have a no Kings protest to go to, so she decides to go after Cash Patel is somehow not serious as an FBI director. And Cash Patel brought the receipts. Stick to podcasting. Leave law and order to people who

[Cash Patel]

really do care about justice and appearances.

[Rob Carson]

That is really. That was her soundbite. She thought she'd get away with it.

[Commercial Announcer]

Critical.

[Rob Carson]

And it's what I am really deeply concerned about and so are many people. Sure you are. Thank you. Mr. Chairman.

[Cash Patel]

Can I respond?

[Rob Carson]

Come on, cue the music. Cue the.

[Cash Patel]

This is what real leadership looks like at the FBI. Every one of you was given it. This is what's happened under my tenure at the FBI and the Trump administration. 20 point drop in the homicide rate. 45,000 violent offenders arrested last year. Twice as many as 2024. 2450 criminal gangs disrupted. That's a 300, 122% increase from 2024. 6900 child victims have been located since I've been in the seat. That's 144% increase. 2900 child predators and human traffickers arrested. That's a 70% increase. And we've arrested eight of the top 10 most wanted. Fugitives in the world in 14 months. That's twice as many in the four years combined. That is what the men and women of the FBI are doing. Well resourced everyone should take.

[Rob Carson]

You had a drink once.

[Cash Patel]

Look at this. If people want to continue the baseless, fraudulent, false, personal attacks at me, that's great. Keep the target on me, as I've always said. But the mission has never been better.

[Rob Carson]

That is fantastic. Javier Becerra was the HHS secretary, and under his leadership, hundreds of thousands of children were released into the country unaccompanied, and many of them were traded for sexual and labor and KTLA Channel 5 in LA interviewed this jackweed who wants to be the governor. He's never going to be the governor of California. This, this interview yesterday killed any possibility of that. And then also his personality, that. That actually killed it. And neither will Mrs. Potato Head Katie Porter. She will never be, ever, ever, ever be the governor of the state of California because she's such an unlikable tool. But that said, here is Javier Becerra not used to difficult questions being asked about children. And he tried to get around it and he just got hammered. They're saying this ends his possibility of being the governor. I suggested that his personality and record did that to begin with.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

During your time as HHS secretary, a New York Times investigation found the Health department confined some 85,000 children it had released.

[Javier Becerra]

That's not accurate. What you just read is not accurate. First, that's what I'll say, because it was never the case that we could not find kids. You're essentially. I don't know if you got those talking points from Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

It's from a New York Times article.

[Javier Becerra]

That's not what the New York Times article said. The New York Times said that individuals, the children and their sponsors did not respond to calls. They didn't say, we couldn't find kids

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machineries and factories. Children as young as 14 years old.

[Javier Becerra]

That part occurred after these children had left the care of Department of Health and Human Services.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

Do you let these children go into those individual sponsors in their responsibility?

[Javier Becerra]

Some of these kids, probably because they needed to earn some money, started working in places that were very exploited.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, there you go. Yeah. I mean, wow. Wow. Stitch those soccer balls, you little toddlers. You've got your quota. To me today. Before you're beaten and given your water and cabbage. Here is Becerra at the beginning of the interview, trying to, I guess, set the rules so no difficult questions. Would Be asked. Didn't work out so well.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

This is the start of our interview with Javier Becerra in Highland Park.

[Javier Becerra]

By the way, this is a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece. Right.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

Well, look, I think these questions are fair.

[Rob Carson]

It's in order to as Donald Trump, as a reporter ever asked this said, this is a profile piece.

[Jake Lang]

Right.

[Rob Carson]

You're just going to kiss my butt, right?

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

Learn about you as a candidate, so

[Javier Becerra]

long as about the profile.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like to begin the interview.

[Javier Becerra]

The way I describe profile is you talk about all the things that a

[Rob Carson]

lot of people are profiled. Child molesters, serial killers.

[Javier Becerra]

Done things I want to do and along with some tough questions. But not only tough questions.

[Rob Carson]

Wow, that didn't work out so well for him. He's, he's done. Stick a fork in him. Meanwhile, Donald Trump was, you know, of course the reporters went after. He's handling them beautifully. He was asked about inflation and ate this person for lunch. Inflation has been flat with the exception of of gas prices, which of course you expect when you're freeing the world from 47 years of terror.

[Commercial Announcer]

Mr. President, you promise to bring inflation down. Is now at its highest level in three years. Are your policies not working?

[Donald Trump]

Policies are working. Incredibly, if you go back to just before the war, for the last three months, inflation was at 1.7%. Now we had a choice, let these lunatics have a nuclear weapon. If you want to do that, then you're a stupid person and you happen to be, I mean, I know you very well.

[Rob Carson]

Meanwhile, this is the first year of Joe Biden's administration. US inflation rate hits a four decade high, climbing to 9.1%. Gas, food, housing costs, all of them make up the bulk of that increase. However, remember that. I remember that. It was really hard for the impacts go a lot further than you may think. Governor Roy Cooper was in Washington D.C. today talking about 9% inflation. And that was when you could fill the grocery cart at Walmart with $250 and then it went to just the bottom. You remember that? I remember that. Oh man, I do remember that. I remember when chicken breast at Walmart went $1.88 a pound to $2.98 on sale and they never came back down because of Joe Biden. I remember that. Here's another one. This is great. The price of the ballroom, which is being paid for by private money has gone up twice in value. And this moron decides to say ballroom, which we hate because you know Something everybody else wanted, but you're getting it done in private and all that. It's doubling in price. What's the deal?

[Donald Trump]

What happened is we have a ballroom that's under budget. It's going up right here. I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, the price went up because they doubled the size of it.

[Donald Trump]

And we're right now on Bud with

[Rob Carson]

the super size of meal at McDonald's, which they don't do anymore.

[Donald Trump]

Get under budget and ahead of schedule, you double. I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. Double the size.

[Rob Carson]

I double the price, you dumb person. That is fantastic. Oh, and then USA Today I was seeing on Facebook. USA Today had to admit that Donald Trump with the reflecting pool is doing a brilliant job. $1.5 million and it's going to look absolutely amazing. And they're getting it done in a couple of weeks. Barack Obama in 2012 spent months and $35 million, and as soon as they opened, it was filled with algae. And then they wanted $300 million in three and a half years to do it. And Donald Trump said, nah, we'll do it in a month for $1.5 million. I love it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. If you are on Medicare or about to be, you could be overpaying right now and never know it. Here's why. Millions of seniors are in a plan that doesn't fit their needs. Because Medicare is complicated. Many brokers just steer people into plans that pay them the most. That's absurd. That is so absurd, I decided to write a little slogan for it. Medicare sure ain't fair and choosing a plan is a bear. Pick a plan with a broker if you dare, and you might end up with a scare. Okay, you listen. It's a little rough. You need to know about Chapter. They're the only national advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. With Chapter, you'll see what a plan actually costs when you need it. Not just the zero dollar. Some plans advertise. Your doctors are covered and your prescriptions are too. You'll have confidence you have the coverage you need. A call with Chapter is free. Takes about 20 minutes. If you're turning 65 or already on Medicare, call 27 Medicare. Again, that's 2. 7 Medicare. Call 27 Medicare today.

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

So you preferred your pronouns to be they and them? They, them. Okay, do you need me to explain

[Commercial Announcer]

how to use that?

[Rob Carson Show Announcer]

Nope, because I'm not going to. Boom.

[Rob Carson]

That's Caitlin Bennett in a new bumper for the show with the black crows following. Thank you very much. Love me some black crows. Fantastic. So Democrat lawyer Mark Elias raises power to eliminate the Virginia government. He says that instead of eliminating the the Supreme Court in the state of Virginia because they didn't get their way and they were unconstitutionally trying to take away Republican representation in the state, that they should just get rid of the entire government. Do that, Mark, you mor. I should say Elias was the general counsel of the Clinton presidential campaign when it secretly funded the Steele dossier, pushed the false alpha bank conspiracy, all of that. He was behind this. And this Jack Weed says like he has any. He holds any sway. He's in the position to demand anything that Democrats should just eliminate the entire Virginia government under the state constitution. Do you know who has all the guns in the state of Virginia? Republicans do you idiot. You really want to do something like that? What a foolish thing to say. The demand for radical action was prompted by the Virginia justices. Whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable. What? Indebutable, Indubitable, inalienable and unfeasible indefeasible right to reform after or abolish it in such a matter as to be judged most conducive to the public weal. I don't know where hell he got that he got from the Virginia Constitution. Well, I got tell you this. Here's what the Declaration of Independence says. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government. This doesn't relate to this. This was the the Democrat party of the state of Virginia taking away representation from half of the state. So that wasn't an abuse or usurpation unless you consider it against the Republicans of the state laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect the safety and happiness. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object events as a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right or their duty to overthrow such government. You could say that with regard to our federal government, when they overtook everyone with regard to Covid, all the abuses and usurpations of COVID all of the abuses and usurpations of Trump and his followers and his voters by not only the FBI but also the censorship industrial complex, etc. I can go on and on about this. I'm well versed. I'm really well versed in it. Really, really well versed in that. Tennessee Democrats have been removed from House committee following the special session disruptions. They threw a little temper tantrum last week. Remember that? They threw a little temper tantrum. They brought their bullhorns and everything. And apparently they were interlocking arms in the House, in the well house blocking aisles, encouraging destructions with protesters, paid protesters in attend using prohibited props and noisemaker, fragrant, fragrant, fragrant flagrant disregard for house rules, etc. Well, a bunch of them have been removed from their committee positions. In other words, they got spanked.

[News Reporter]

We begin tonight with breaking news from the state legislature downtown. House Speaker Cameron Sexton is removing all Democrats from standing and subcommittees because of what he calls disruptive behavior during last week's special session on redistricting that includes interlocking arms in protest in the House. Well, blocking House aisles, instigating disruptions in coordination with paid protesters and demonstrating a lack of respect for yes or you

[Rob Carson]

lose your committee positions. You losers grow up. Come up with a platform. I don't know. Give the people something they want. Republican led South Carolina state Senate rejected a measure Tuesday to take up a redraw of the state's congressional map. So they're denying the court order by the Supreme Court to get rid of racially gerrymandered districts. This would have gotten rid of Democrat Representative James Clyburn, who's a moron before the midterm elections. But apparently the South Carolina Republicans decided to do what the Indiana Republicans did with gerrymanning the state of Indiana and it didn't end up so good for them. The. The Republicans in the RINOs in the. In the state Senate in the state of Indiana probably won't end very well for these idiots, but they've decided to go against the SCOTUS ruling and the President of the United States. Here is Jim Gossett singing Stop them.

[Jake Lang]

Five Rhinos in South Carolina.

[Rob Carson]

Not a good move, gentlemen and ladies or whatever.

[Jake Lang]

New map. They opposed it, the GOP proposed it, the Democrats bulldozed it with help from those five. Their election chances took a die.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you are in the target list now.

[Jake Lang]

They didn't learn a thing from Indiana.

[Rob Carson]

No, not really.

[Jake Lang]

Where Rhinos were defeated by maga, were unseated, showed that they weren't needed. Primaries were not kind. These five have clearly lost their minds. Hey, Rhinos in South Carolina. We will not forget it. You will see soon regret it. Payback. You will get it come election time. The damage you've done should be a crime.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it doesn't make it make that much difference because Republicans are gaining a lot of seats because they got rid of illegal racial gerrymandering which only kept people of color in poverty with poor schools, dependents with a good plans of a Planned Parenthood being located in that area. You know, just to keep down the black population like Margaret Sanger dreamed when she came up with Planned Parenthood. She was a white supremacist and frequently spoke at KKK gatherings. But that said, other than that, the Democrats are on the side of people of color 1,000%. Carl Higby did a brilliant job talking about when all the racism started in this country and it started with a guy named Barack Obama, initials bo. Something smells around here. I'll share that very shortly. Brigadier General Blaine Holt to talk about Trump's China visit and Iran on the other side of this break. This is the Rob Carson Show.

That is Donald Trump stepping off Air Force One in China surrounded by hundreds of young people waving American and Chinese flags. He's being treated like royalty because it's good to be the king. And China knows it too, by the way, cuz we got him over a barrel, thank you very much. And that barrel is full of gold. Glorious crude, I would say. Speaking of crude, let's talk to Brigadier General Blaine Holt. But I won't do that. Let's talk to the man with the plan, the host of Dangerous Intellectuals podcast. Lieutenant, I should say, Lieutenant Brigadier General Blaine Holt. How are you on this glorious Tuesday or Wednesday, sir?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Wow. You were either about to promote me or really demote me.

[Rob Carson]

I swear, either one. I would never do that. I would never do that because you're, you're fantastic. So let's talk a couple things. Donald Trump goes to China. China has been with Iran, I think to delay their surrender to make it impact the, the midterms. Do you suppose that Donald Trump enters Beijing with a, with a leg up on. On Xi?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Yeah. President Trump's rolling in with the leverage here. You know, President Trump from Venezuela to the Straits of Hormuz to now with our partners in Indonesia and the new defense pact in the Malacca and Straits. The choke point points for Chinese energy match up with what they tried to do to us and monopolies over rare earth. And their economy is really in trouble. I know our economy is in trouble, but not like the Chinese. The Chinese are in deep trouble and Xi Jinping is looking at factionalism and potential problems in and amongst the ccp. So is the CCP really backing Iran? I don't think so. They're ready to cut them like a bad habit because. Because they've got to get that energy out of the streets right now and that's what's going to be talked about.

[Rob Carson]

Do you supposed Trump said he's going to. He's not going to bring Iran to the table. And I got to tell you, I think he's amazingly gentile when it comes to Xi Jinping. I mean, I hear him talking about gping. He's my friend. And all of this, it's kind of, it's kind of interesting for a guy who supposedly so adversarial and so you know, all of this. But, but treating this, this guy who, you know, we just found out while mayor in a. In town in California as a Chinese spy for China. We've got thousands of Chinese students in this country gathering intel. All of this. He, he's remarkably, he treats him with kid gloves, but I'm assuming that velvet glove is holding a big, a big saber.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Yes. So let me give you the Blaine Holt Trump translation theory. Very important. Whenever you see President Trump do something that doesn't look like, like it fits, it's out of character. We expected him to zig. And he zags like this type of stuff. All you have to do is get to the end of the equation, which is he's up to something. And with, with accolades and compliments going to Xi Jinping, which is a very Sun Tzu way to fight wars. He's actually interjecting himself into the middle of CCP politics and he's smacking the face of the, the party elders, Hu Jintao, one Jabao and the others, while Xi Jinping has already purged the snot out of his military and is down to a political commissar and a dog named Rex. No real war fighters. And so he's really going to walk in and has a big Cheshire cat smile on his face because he's about to run the table economically.

[Rob Carson]

You know, they were a couple of weeks ago, some people were talking about how Donald Trump maybe should. Should not go on this trip to China.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

And I'm not even sure. I don't think Gordon Chang said that. Officially, we have Gordon as a frequent guest here, but a lot of people said that maybe it wouldn't be such an idea because it'd be somehow capitulating to Xi. And I'm like, that ain't Donald. When has he ever capitulated to anybody? When has he ever capitulated to anybody?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Do you remember the nuance when in the first visit to see Queen Elizabeth II and then eventually to come to England to meet with King Charles. The first time everybody made a big deal that President Trump was making a disgraceful insult from the United States about how he didn't follow decorum and protocol. Well, now he's rolling Right on into China with some of the world's most powerful CEOs. And yes, the optics are. I'm bringing more bicep and more financial bicep into Beijing than has been seen here in the last five years. Years. I'll be the one in charge. It's the same thing as him going to Glasgow, Scotland on his own golf course, summoning Keir Starmer and Ursula Vanderlein, saying, why don't you come to my castle and I'll hold court. And this is, you gotta get into the nuance. And I get it, oh, he should not be going to China. It's like, okay, this is ridiculous. This is a guy who goes, he's a bull that brings his own China shop. Let him do it. Unless you've got a better answer, unless you've got a better alternative, I say we let him go. Go.

[Rob Carson]

It is interesting you bring up the fact that he's bringing billionaires including Elon Musk with him. Because I got to tell you, you don't have a military without money. You don't have anything. You don't have the ability to buy oil for your military unless you have money. And that he is bringing these people who by the way, are abandoning China in many ways to reshore their manufacturing in the United States of America. America is kind of, I mean, like it's got to be a little, maybe meant to be demoralizing to some degree and also to assert, hey brother, you're no longer in control.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

It's so true. And another thing, if we were going to have an ugly moment at the summit, which I'm going to guess you, there will be several ugly moments at the summit. But think of President Trump with those exact gentlemen around him. Then President Trump now armed with the ability to say, every one of these business leaders, leaders at this table has had a knife by the CCP put right into their backs. And all they've done is come with an open hand to try to create opportunity on both sides. And yet, and yet everybody at this table has been stolen from, whether it's ip, money, business deals, whatever. And then it's not coincidental that they rolled up one of tens of thousands of Chinese spies just last week in California. This little two bit Nair that they just brought her in to say, this is an example of what we're about to do to you at scale. Do you understand? Or you can roll up the united front works today and get yourself out of dc. And while you're at it, why don't you get out of The Western Hemisphere.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Well, look at all of the things that have happened since Donald Trump became the president. He took away the Panama Canal, which, I mean, they literally had signs up on the Panama. Look at, look at that. I mean, if we just, if we decide to end China's oil importation, we can end most of it. Venezuela and Iran, we can end it. We can make gas go up there so high that it will become absolutely unaffordable. We have a lot of balls in our court right now.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

We absolutely do. But one of those things that you have to mind the store on tactically here at home is the president does have some flanks around him that needs some attention. One of those is we're exporting too much oil. We need it for ourselves right now. We're looking down the barrel of an oil and gas shortage that leads to food shortages. And we've got to take that seriously.

[Rob Carson]

You would think. Let's take a break and come back and what your thoughts on how Iran is going, what is coming next. I have a funny feeling that the president is about to unleash hell and maybe go after some bridges and power plants. We're going to cover that. On the other side of the break with the great Brigadier General Blaine Holt. Dangerous Intellectuals.com Dangerous Intellectuals.com A fantastic podcast. You've got to make it a part of your podcast enjoyment platform. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Rob Carson for Relief Factor.

[News Reporter]

Generals prefer otherwise. They're saying the Iranians just drove past a major off ramp. We could be on the road to more war. NBC reporting that the president already has a name if he restarts bombing again. Operation Sledgehammer.

[Rob Carson]

Boom.

[News Reporter]

Time's running out. For peace.

[Donald Trump]

It's very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear Weapon. They know that. They've agreed to that. And then. That's not what they said to me when it came to, we don't play games.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Now, I think that their hubris is going to cause them to be wiped from the leadership positions in the state of Iran, and the people of Iran are free. And I look at it as a blessing. I think it's kind of God's way of going, yeah, you know what? Go ahead and get them. Go ahead and get them. Also, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are conducting secret strikes on Iran. Top nuclear submarines just deployed shooting missiles at targets 4,500 miles away. It sounds like it's time to put this dog out of its misery. What do you think, Blaine Holt, what do you think?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

It doesn't. It just doesn't sound like much of a secret that the UAE and Saudi are conducting.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I know, I know.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

It doesn't seem so secretive.

[Rob Carson]

Usually you don't see the bombs actually hitting their targets when it's secret.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

What they're actually doing is they're doing preparatory fires for the revolution of Iran to commence, and I believe it stays away from commencing. I think what you need to understand is, is that this president has played the shot clock while stabilizing the oil. The oil futures market. Because every single time he says, oh, oh, we're going to negotiate, well, then all those algorithms get burned. Oh, we're not going to negotiate. Then all of those algorithms get burned because of the automatic trading on Wall street by the financialists. So they can take it in the shorts. So where we're at is whenever you hear the Iranians saying, well, we reviewed the deal, we don't really like it. They're not talking to President Trump, they're talking to the 90 million Iranian people trying to get. Give this theater that we're in charge. We're still very much in charge. Look at us. We just threatened the United States. It's really. And it is going to end in bombs, bullets and logistics. It is going to come to that. And then, you know, the free Iranian people, they'll secure their country. And guess what we'll do? We'll take them up on their offer to welcome us into the country, go secure the uranium, go find out where all those weapons stocks are, secure them, take them away, help them with their economy, get those oil wells all back up to speed. Speed. And. And then China and Asia can have oil and gas back again. We're way behind in that production. But I do see a lot of turbulence and strife and violence ahead. But then it'll be very, very good. So probably about mid July, I'm looking for the clouds to park.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And then also, let's not forget the terror proxies of Iran. No funding anymore. There's nobody going to be there to fund them anymore. And I believe there's going to be a millennial peace Middle east like we've never seen before. We've had the Abraham Accords. There's more steps we can go here. But I really do believe that this is a Blaine. We've waited our entire lives and the lives of ten generations before us for this to happen in the Middle east. And I really believe it's happening. I think the only holdouts in the battle against anti Israel and whatnot are in places like the United States with radical Islam. But I think that. I think that people are going to come together who otherwise have been apart for a thousand years in the Middle east, and it's going to be remarkable and amazing.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

I think you're exactly right. The place where we've got to pay more attention to is there are gaps in vision of strategy between Israel and the United States. Doesn't mean we're not allies. It means we see the battlefield very differently. We would prefer to see Hezbollah die on the virus, no life support, no money, no supply chain, nothing. And then an increasing Lebanon that's ready to now deal with them. But. But mowing down southern Lebanon is probably not our vision and we've got to get that shored up because what we need is goodwill across the board when we go to the next phase, which is the Abraham Accords.

[Rob Carson]

What is the deal with Israel saying that they want to wean us, wean off of the United States military. What's that all about?

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Well, they want to be free agents. That's aspirational. But it's going to be hard to get off of this thing called 18 billion in support and technological cooperation. I actually think it's a good thing. And so if they're going to go that way, and that's the way Israeli politics go, I would much rather be the dependencies cut away for moments like this. When we do have gaps in how we see the strategic battle field, well, then there's a little bit more above the table that we can deal with diplomatically rather than being welded at the hip saying, okay, well I guess they did this and we have to go along. We. We don't want to be in that world either.

[Rob Carson]

Gotcha. Gotcha. Also, war powers resolution once again crushed in the Senate. This is you know, this is the Democrat Party trying to kill the, the efforts of our U.S. military. Leave a seed to grow so they can blame Donald Trump on it. To leave, leave it undone like Barack Obama did, like George Bush did, like, you know, Joe Biden did. Leave it unfinished. Leave a seat so it can come back. And I don't believe it's not going to work.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

You know, Tom Friedman said it best. I don't mind this regime in Iran being Delta, a crushing blow, but I just don't want to see President Trump bag the victory. And that's what they're welded to. They are absolutely welded to. I will do whatever it takes to stop this man from getting a legacy type victory. You know, I can already see what this part of the display case looks like in the Trump presidential library. And I think that the Democrats can see that too, because they're doing everything they can except for standing up and saying, we vote for terrorism, which is exactly what they're doing.

[Rob Carson]

They would have said don't attack the beaches in Normandy and rebuild the Berlin Wall. And I'm not kidding, dude, they would have. Listen, there are already people, there are already Democrats saying that Berlin Wall should have never come down. And the fall of the Soviet Union was a tragedy. I mean, that's how insane these freaking people are.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Thank goodness that Truman was the president at the end, otherwise we might have been in real trouble because he was a Democrat.

[Rob Carson]

I swear. You know, I was watching somebody talk last night about how benevolent the United States was. We could have easily taken over the entire world at the end of World War II. We had nukes. We could have done the whole damn thing. We could have taken over the whole damn world. Instead, we rebuilt Europe, we rebuilt Japan, we rebuilt the world. This is the kind of people we are. We're godly people. And I believe God is on our side. And I think ultimately victory is ahead of us because the Democrat party and the left are on the wrong side of God. And good, my friend. Thank you for joining me today. I appreciate you. Blaine Holt, tell everybody about your glorious podcast.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

Hey, Come and learn more about the [e-mail] I'm on with Dr. Peter McCullough and this person to person stuff in the Andes strain, it's all crap. Come listen to it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, but I would recommend that if you wore a mask during the COVID and you got all your boosters that you put, put a, a garbage bag over your head and fasten it securely around the neck so no air gets in it, cuz you wouldn't want to get the Hunter virus. That's what I would suggest.

[Brigadier General Blaine Holt]

That statement was for entertainment purposes only.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, it was. Or just put a giant condom on your head. One or the other. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is Rob Carson. Cho. There's something happening in New York's gonna have to be tamped down. These are not anti Semitic protests. They are terrorism. Terrorism. Jewish people are being terrorized by a radical mob of Islamists. Here's Greg Kelly on it. Last night.

[Greg Kelly]

Seeing radical anti Semite, pro terrorist individuals from other neighborhoods in New York City go into one of the most Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It's called Midwood. Right? Provoking. Trying to start something. Vandalism. You can't do that legally, by the way. You can't shut down the streets. They didn't get a permit to do that. The cops should be arresting every single person. Who.

[Rob Carson]

Who's. You can't do that.

[Greg Kelly]

It's not peaceably assembling. That's nobody's First Amendment right. But here it is, Mom. Dummy.

[News Reporter]

Mom.

[Greg Kelly]

Dummies. New York.

[Rob Carson]

It's terrorism is what it is, and it's got to stop. It is terrorism, and it's got to stop. National Guard got to be sent in. FBI's got to be sent in. And if all else fails, Homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews going to have to kick some butt.

[Jake Lang]

Homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews are Rob Carson's best friends.

[Rob Carson]

I'm serious. I'm not done with this nonsense.

[Jake Lang]

Better believe that they'll be friends to the end.

[Rob Carson]

Jake Lang, where are you? What?

[Jake Lang]

A new coalition to promote freedom. They're all about liberty.

[Rob Carson]

It's got to stop.

[Jake Lang]

The perfect trio to combat the left and look out for you and me.

[Rob Carson]

Enough is enough.

[Jake Lang]

Mamas, please let your babies grow up to be homeboys.

[Rob Carson]

Why not?

[Jake Lang]

Hillbillies and Hebrews is who you should raise. You'll receive nothing but absolute praise.

[Rob Carson]

Come together as a nation.

[Jake Lang]

Homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews are saving this country.

[Rob Carson]

They.

[Jake Lang]

They love this land and they'll give you a hand. We need to give them our thanks.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. This is. This is not protest.

[Jake Lang]

Homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews are friends to this nation. They've got our back when we're under attack. Homeboys, hillbillies, Hebrews. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

This. This cannot stand. This is Christian knocked all over again. And just because we have an Islamist as the mayor of New York City doesn't mean we don't protect our Hebrew brothers and sisters from the terror that has been rising that is literally endorsed by the Democrat Party this weekend. The day of rededication Sunday at the National Mall is a rededication of the nation under God. I'm going to be going to this and I think that we are on the right side of God. We are outside of the good. And I think that this evil is going to be beaten back. But we've got to keep an eye on New York City and it's going to have to come to a very abrupt end with a whole bunch of people being deported from the country, denaturalized and deported if they're not here, you know, if they're in green cards, if they're here illegally, or if they are naturalized citizens who came here to espouse anti Semitism.
