[Rob Carson]

Hold it now. You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world Wide web. This is the Rob Carson show. And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to it. Ladies and gentlemen, the bottom of the hour, we have got the great Mary Walter. I got some stories, I got some stories, I got some stories for her. And one of them is a personal story that happened to me last night. It was gonna. It involves a superpower that I have. Okay, you're thinking, ladies, super good looking. No, no, that's just a gimme. There's. I mean, I was just born with that. You know, there was no radioactive exposure or anything. I just. This is the way it is. This is the way it is. Sorry. You know, super great sense of humor. Yeah, I know. Obviously it's a power that most don't have. It's another. It's another thing. It's another thing. So I'm going to share that with you at the bottom of the arm. So we had two terror attacks yesterday. One at a synagogue which was not successful. One at Old Dominion University. All of them involved what kind of person. Interesting to Jesse, if you'll pardon me for adding, the Austin shooter. I saw this from Will Kane, our colleague. Austin shooter, national, naturalized citizen. Old Dominion shooter, naturalized citizen. The New York teen bombers, children of nationalized naturalized, that is citizens. And the Michigan synagogue attack, again, a naturalized citizen. It caused a question who we're letting into this country. Clearly. Yeah, you got to kind of wonder. And remember when Donald Trump said in his first term that he didn't want. He called some countries asshole countries, because they are. And then he also said, hey, maybe we ought to not bring in people from, you know, countries that espouse terrorism. He was called some sort of a, you know, Islamophobe or whatever. What is it? What is it when you're an Islamist terrorist and you hate America? Are you an ameriphobe? Is that what you are? But there's going to have to be an exam of the people who've come to this country and whether they want to assimilate to this country like so many have in the past to become a part of the American dream. Or if they hate America and want to turn it over and make it become Marxist, communist or Islamist Sharia law and all that. And if the latter are true GTFO honestly, then there's a story out of Northern Virginia. 41 year old woman murdered at a bus stop. Same thing happened in in Charlotte, North Carolina with with a young woman. And listen to nick Minock of ABC 7. Same same kind of storyline here. And of course the same people involved. Liberals, county prosecutors, George Soros, prosecutors letting them out so they can murder. You may have seen 7News is reporting about how Fairfax warned the prosecutor Steve Descano several times about how dangerous Abdul Jalo was before he allegedly murdered Stephanie Mentor. By the way, the ROTC shooter in Old Dominion, last name Jalo as well, same last name Jalo is an illegal immigrant. So did Fairfax county police ward ICE about these same concerns? Oh he was here illegally. Should have been taken out. They didn't because Fairfax county police sources tell me they can't because the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors passed a policy in 2021 that bans police officers in Fairfax county from contacting ICE even in situations like this. Let us know. Do you think the Board of Supervisors should reverse this policy? No, I think they should all be removed is what I think. Are you getting about freaking tired of this crap? There's my quote of the day. Are you getting about sick Frickin tire. Be careful Rob. You're on the air. Are you getting frickin tired of this crap? Because I am. I'm done. Done to Dun dun dun dun dun. The FBI reveals the Old Dominion shooter Mohammed Baylor, yellow naturalized US Citizen from Sierra Leone, yelled Alua Akbar Cash. Patel wrote on X. One person dead, two others wounded. The shooter now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and beat the crap out of them. Beat him to death. Yay students. Actions that undoubtedly saved lives. With a quick response of law enforcement, the FBI now investigating the shooting as an act of terror, obviously Islamic terror from the the religion of pieces Islam. 2017 the Trump administration asked a federal judge to sit in that terrorist to 20 years in jail. The judge declined, sentenced him to 132 months of incarcerated incarceration and five years of supervised release. Yeah, that's going to do a lot of good. Biden administration released the terrorists years before his sentence was supposed to be up in December of 2024. Y' all about sick of this crap because I'm about sick of this crap. Absolutely 100% sick of this crap. You want to hear some more crap that I'm kind of sick of? Rob Finnerty, last night on Newsmax. Listen to this. This. This bleep ends, all right? If you see something like this happen, you climb up the flag pole. If you can. You take this flag down, you take this flag down. Listen to this. So another Islamic flag goes up in another city, this time Newark, New Jersey, at City Hall. And a crowd of people were outside City hall in America chanting Allah Akbar. Homeboys, hillbillies, Hebrews. You hear what I'm saying here? Homeboys, hillbillies, and Hebrews. This bleep ends. This ends. This should not be happening in America. It's also against the law. The American flag is always supposed to be the top flag on federal flag polls, no matter where they are. It's just. It's hard to believe this is happening in America and it stops and it ends. We've got to end it. We've got to end it. That's all there is to it. Unexcusable or inexcusable. It has got to stop. You will not fly that Islamic flag in our country. I am not sure. I might be able to still fly, climb a flagpole. I. Although I'm scared of heights, so you might have to help me a little bit. I'll have you do it. I'll give you a little boost because I wouldn't be able to make it. But I'm going to tell you. Bullcrap. End it. Not acceptable. Not acceptable. Not the 250th year of our birth. Not in our country. Not acceptable. There has to be a reexamination of these people who have gotten citizenship in this country and their allegiances and their actions and their social media posts and their protestations, Whatever. If you said death to America and protest gtfo, you are no longer allowed here. Get out of my country. We have chances. Are you know someone who died defending this country on the theater, on a battlefield somewhere. Somebody may be in your family, for God's sake. Maybe in your ancestry. This will not, cannot stand. Cannot stand. Oh, my Lord. Sorry, but I just. Democrat Party is doing everything they can to end the SAVE act, which relies. Or I should. You have to. If you're going to. If you're going to vote. Okay, what do you have to be to vote? You got to be a citizen. Only citizens have the right to vote. If you are not a citizen, you do not have the right to vote. How do you prove you're an American citizen. There's no DNA test for it. There's no blood test for it. There's no. You have to provide identification. You have to provide identification. And the Democrat Party knows that they cannot win elections with their bat guano crazy nonsense unless illegals who they've loaded up with largess with every government benefit to the tune of trillions of dollars. Fraud around the country, Somali fraud in Minnesota vote slavishly Democrat. And what happens when Democrats look the other way? When they steal billions and billions and billions of dollars. And now that we're getting a little bit closer, I saw John Thune maybe Sunday bringing the say back to the floor of the Senate and the Democrats are freaking out. This is Mark Warner, Senator from the state I live in. Not proud of this at all, by the way. Listen to him. I never thought I'd have to ever say this, but I am seriously concerned about the security and integrity of our elections in 2026. And if we have. You're afraid you're going to get your rear end handed to you. A corrupted election. I'm not sure how our country ever comes back. Yeah. You know, could you imagine what would happen if we had a. I mean, if we had a corrupted election? I mean that would be crazy. A water pipe has broken in State Farm Arena, State Farm Arenas where they were counting the absentee ballots of Georgia's most populous county. And now the tabulation has stopped. It's Allegheny, which is Pittsburgh, but also Beaver, Harderborough county to County Butler in Westmoreland. They've all stopped counting for the night. They've gone to bed. They begin 2020 the process at 10 o' clock tomorrow morning. Good morning, Heather. They did have to press pause overnight. They will be back in a few short hours, expected to resume counting around 8:30 this morning.

[Mary Walter]

Fulton county is now going to stop counting at 10:30pm and oddly enough, the

[Rob Carson]

votes came in the next morning almost 100% for Joe Biden. I mean in one case, several, several regions, several districts, 100% votes for Joe Biden.

[Mary Walter]

And we'll resume their count at tomorrow morning.

[Rob Carson]

They basically stopped counting tonight. They're going to start counting again in a few hours. It's already tomorrow morning, right?

[Mary Walter]

The election workers stopped counting those mail in ballots.

[Rob Carson]

How often did this happen in history? Simultaneously in the battleground states, never the clock.

[Mary Walter]

They will be back again tomorrow at

[Rob Carson]

10am and Nevada says it stopped counting the votes yesterday Election day. But don't. They don't say why. Why did you stop counting?

[Mary Walter]

Here's where it gets really bizarre. At Fulton county, most populous county. It is Atlanta. They just stopped counting at 10:30pm they stopped counting their absentee ballots. They said they'd pick it up in the morning. Counting in one of that state's biggest counties has stopped. Mike Armstrong is in Pennsylvania. Mike, we're talking about Allegheny County. That's the area around Pittsburgh. What's happening? Election workers in Allegheny county are back to work after pausing counting overnight. County had to press pause on counting ballots. Nevada, meanwhile, has stopp counting votes until 9am on Thursday.

[Rob Carson]

A water pipe has broken in State Farm Arena. Yeah. Yeah. Well, can you imagine if elections were stolen? I mean, that would be crazy, right? Here is a JB Tetzler Pritzler. Pritz Pretzler Fat Burger. I don't know. JB Tits JB Pritzker of Illinois talking about how Donald Trump's going to steal the election. It is clear that he is going to use either ICE and customs and border patrol with their uniforms and their automatic weapons. Actually. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, that for sure. Maybe, maybe not. With weapons. They might, you know, because they can carry them because, you know, they're, they're officers of the law. Or he'll try to use National Guard. Sure, okay. To protect. What are you afraid of? The polling places. And I have no doubt that that part of that plan is potentially to claim fraud and to seize ballot boxes in order to count the votes himself. So he knows everything. He just said there was absolute crap based on nothing but fear mongering. That's what Democrats do. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington, D.C. area, which is like sleeping on the sponge in your sink. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment. Beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghost bed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging. It's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed, you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back. Risk. Ghostbed is offering my audience their Lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson. You are going to love your new ghostbed. Who would not want voter id? Only somebody that wants to cheat. Do you think, My God, you people are so stupid. Not you people. Democrats are so stupid. It's kind of interesting. I saw this on the, on the, on the Interweb today in Maricopa County. There's reason why that Chris, not Christine. Oh my. Tulsi Gabbard went down to Maricopa County. Apparently it took five months for Maricopa county to send ballots that the Senate Senate subpoenaed. They send more than 1600 boxes of ballots. Every box had seals broken. No chain of custody. Except for 50. Only 50 boxes of more than 1600 received were sealed with chain of custody. It's kind of weird. And here's a little bit of audio from the story that I found this morning. I think you might find it a little troubling. I mean, my God, you will find it troubling.

[Election Expert]

So in the first place, the Senate subpoenaed the ballots and the Board of Supervisors delayed.

[Rob Carson]

This is on Fox 10 television down there.

[Election Expert]

Five months before they delivered the ballots out of 1600 something boxes, all but about 50. The seals were missing or had been broken. There was no chain of custody.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Election Expert]

Dominion has a very specific requirement for ballot paper to be used in a Dominion scanner.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Really?

[Election Expert]

We're talking about something that's four or five times thicker than an ordinary sheet of paper.

[Rob Carson]

Sure.

[Election Expert]

It has to be manufactured by the Roland Paper Company in Canada, and it has to have an infrared fluorescent watermark on it. Inside the scanner, there's an infrared light and a detector to make sure that the ballot that's been inserted is not counterfeit. But when the Citizen auditors actually got to look at the ballots, they found nine or 10 different kinds of paper, most of which came from Staples and Office Max.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Election Expert]

You say, well, how is this possible that they scanned 2 million ballots and didn't detect and reject the counterfeit? It's very simple. There's a configuration setting to turn the detector off. So basically the machine was set not to check whether the paper being inserted was counterfeit paper. And you can count counterfeit ballots as many times as you want and get the same numbers. But that doesn't mean that they were legitimate ballots, because they weren't.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. That was disinformation. A little while ago, you couldn't say anything about that. My God, you get banned from social media, deplatform, demonetized, all that. It's like it was almost a plan or something. Maybe the elections, I don't know, like in 2022, the midterms in Arizona, the gubernatorial election you couldn't talk about you, maybe it wasn't fair. Maybe, you know, the, the white liberal crazy cat lady, Karen, who is now the governor of Arizona. Maybe she didn't actually win. You can't say that. It's disinformation. Well, I just did. Shut up. Alright, here we go. Oh, by the way, Mike Johnson says we're going to win the midterms. And I believe that too. Because you know why? Because everybody on the left is saying we're going to lose them and they're shrieking. And guess what? How many, how many elections does it ever say the Republicans are surely going to win? Was Donald Trump going to win the election in 2024? No. No, no. Was Donald Trump going to win like 2026? No. No, no. Was he? You know, it could go on and on. We're always behind. You know why? Because polling is used to demoralize you. That's what it's all about. But here's Mike Johnson.

[Political Analyst]

No, listen, we, we had a huge demographic shift in the 2024 election as you referenced in all those groups and others who came into the Republican Party not reluctantly, but they came with hopeful anticipation. Two reasons for that. We were presenting common sense solutions to the challenges they were facing. And the Democrat Party left them behind,

[Rob Carson]

as I say, because they went back guano crazy. And I said 2024 was about returning to the common sense from nonsense time.

[Political Analyst]

I said earlier this morning, this is not your father's Democratic Party. They do not resemble what a generation ago they did. Their platforms radically different now. And they, they're, they're, most of them are avowed socialist or Marxist and they're, they're, they're going too far left. The reason we're going to win the midterms, why? The reason we're going to defy history and do it. This was a number of factors. A very boring 90 minute slideshow that I could show you this morning, show you all the reasons we're going to win. But we have great candidates, we have fundraising advantage right now. We have much better policy, a strong record to run on and all these demographics. Good people are going to feel the positive effects of that.

[Rob Carson]

That's true.

[Political Analyst]

We're anticipating extraordinary economic growth going into this year in the midterms. All Boats will rise, salaries and wages will go up.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. All of that. We're gonna kick around's rear end. We are doing that. So, you know, there's that. There is that. By the way, I just posted a video. Ladies, I'm going to invite you into my bedroom. Go to all of my social media. Rob Carson, Joyce, right now on Twitter, I'm inviting you into my bedroom to see my new bed. I got a ghost bed. I've been sleeping on a foam mattress that I ordered when I moved here because, you know, I got a bachelor pad, right? She got the bed, she got the good bed. So I had this thing. It's like sleeping on a sponge in your sink. And I got a ghost bed. Now, I didn't know what to expect from a ghost bed because it comes in this big old box and I laid it up on the bed and I open it up and it went boing. And it wasn't just a foam mattress. It was a. It was a. It was a pillow top. Gorgeous mattress that was in a box just a second ago. And I got to tell you, the next morning, I woke up nine hours later. I slept nine hours. You know what I did last night? I slept nine hours. I used to get up at 2, 4. Finally, 5, 30. Screw it. I'm just gonna drink some coffee and I'll take a nap later. That was my day. Now I'm getting nine hours of sleep. Yeah, I know, I know. I don't seem like kind of person who would sleep nine hours, right? Ghost bed. Built and engineered sleep systems. Beds are serious health equipment. Made in America. Made in America. Are you thinking ghost bed? Ghost bed. I swear to God. Look at the video online. It's right there. I got a couple of videos there. One with me actually under the covers. I know. Yeah, I know. Stop it. Stop it, you girls. Give me something to think about this weekend. Anyway, ghost bets. You get 100 nights. 101 nights to try at home. If you don't feel the difference, you send it back risk free. Ghostbed offering my audience the lowest price of the season plus another 10% off.

You're gonna. How in the heck was that in that box, it was like the Jetsons when they put the thing in the little thing and all of a sudden the bing and it becomes a steak.

Every day for 20 years, I devoted myself to making sure my wife and kids were well dressed and ready to face the world. Meanwhile, dad over here wore T shirts and jeans. Now I've discovered quince. Quince has everyday essentials I love with quality that lasts, like linen bottoms and shorts, Pima cotton, European jersey linen. You're not just paying for brand markup or fancy retail stores, just quality clothing. And I look good. Their clothing is rated between four and a half and five stars by thousands of people wearing it every day. Linen shorts are a go to. They don't wrinkle when they're not cheap. The clothes I wear look expensive but aren't. When I go out in the evening, and I do now, I'm actually turning heads. It's nice to feel good and look good. Quince does that for me at a price I can afford right now. Go to quince.com newsmax for free shipping and 365 day returns. Don't keep settling.

You always do send me presents. Thank you so much. And they're always tasty.

[Rob Carson]

Hey, by the way, did you hear the good news? D.C. has lifted the recreational advisory for the Potomac River. The feces apparently has dissipated, although I think there will be a cash crop of corn growing on either side of the river in the spring. That said, Mary, I was thinking about getting a vote and I'd like to take you water skiing. What do you say?

[Mary Walter]

Well, First, I don't water ski because I don't like. I like to determine where I'm going and how fast I'm going to get there, especially when on a pair of skis. And secondly, I'm gonna give it like a year before I, you know, would head back into the Potomac. Not that I would head into the Potomac for swimming anyway.

[Rob Carson]

Like. No, no, no, no, no, no. You know, Yeah, I understand. I, I have. I have water skied. I come from, you know, Midwest and, you know, a lot of lakes out there. Lake of the Ozarks, Truman. Like all these other lakes. Lake Okoboji. You've heard of Lake Okaboji in Iowa? I mean, everybody's heard of Lake Okaboji. My God, it's fantastic. Anyway, so, you know, riding on a boat is not uncommon. You know, East Smith Mountain Lake here in lovely Virginia. My God, one of those beautiful places in the world. But I've only been on water. She's about five times. I just don't like it. I'd rather be towed by a tube. Tube in the back there, you know, bouncing around on the water. I don't water ski. I don't like it.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, no, I'm. I. I've snow ski, but I'm not a big fan of water skiing, so I tried it.

[Rob Carson]

You are a snow buddy. I don't know. I don't know what a water version of a snow bunny is. It's like, it's. I have no idea. You know what? I'm not gonna go there. I'm not gonna go there. Here is a. I got a story I'm gonna share with you, but not until after the break. I want to save the. The personal story until after the break, but it's, It's. It's blockbuster. It's like holy hell, and involves a superpower that I have.

[Mary Walter]

So anyway, is your superpower bad decorating choices?

[Rob Carson]

You know what? You know what? Let me just tell you. The ladies love my new apartment. My bachelor pad with my glorious, you know, lighting and what they do. I mean, I mean, they don't want to come over.

[Mary Walter]

Your children and your mom don't count. Okay, all right, whatever.

[Rob Carson]

My half sister. Oh, it's great. Just entertain him. Make him feel good. He's living by himself. He's so sad. He's got a divorce. So anyway. Oh, no, your place is great, Rob. That's really great. Good job. Thanks. Here we go. This is kind of interesting. How many times do you suppose teens check their phone per day on average? During school hours.

[Mary Walter]

During school hours. On average, 130.

[Rob Carson]

No, you're close. 64 times on average during school hours is how many times they, they check their phones. This is why, I mean, honestly. And I, you know, every time a new generation comes along and you become like the older generation and you say these kids nowadays, then they'll say, you're just doing that because you're old. No, the phone is bull crap in school. You should not be able to have the dang phone in school. We all survived. Oh, God, I'm a sound though. We all survive without a cell ph.

[Mary Walter]

You know what though? It's not the kids, it's the parents. Yeah, the parents flip out. But what if something happens? What if I, you know, I don't know where my son is. What if something happens? Our parents. And again, I sound old, but I also grew up somewhat in the middle of nowhere. But there was one page. There was a payphone in town, but town was like a three mile walk. So my mother would make me put a dime in my shoe and I'm like, what?

[Rob Carson]

Like, oh my God. Oh my God, this is Gen X now. My mom put a dime in my shoe to make a phone call, right?

[Mary Walter]

Just in case, right? And I'm like, but I'm, but I'm not going into, into the village. Like this was literally called the village, right? The village up and, and it was at the gas station. That's where the payphone was. And I was just like, you know, this probably isn't going to help me in case of an emergency, but in the summer my weather would be like, get out of the house and don't come back until dinner.

[Rob Carson]

Right?

[Mary Walter]

And we just knew what time dinner was because we paid attention to the sun. And as far as my mother knows, we were being fed lunch at other people's houses. And everybody's mother thought that we drank water from the hose and ate like berries and stuff that we found.

[Rob Carson]

We were helping the scary guy push his couch into his van. I mean, we were doing all sorts of stuff we probably should have done.

[Mary Walter]

Exactly. But my point is our parents had no clue where we were. They just assumed that we were smart enough to not get killed.

[Rob Carson]

You know, what we used to do. And we were so poor that when I was in Minden for baseball practice and Neola was a long distance call, and back then, I mean, honestly, this is the 70s, phone bills were expensive. One time we decided to do prank calls. My mom got a bill for $500. Oh my God. I thought she was gonna kill us. She nearly did that. Said we would call collect from Minden and mom would answer the phone and then the operator say, do you accept the charges? And I go, I ready? Mom hang up. Well, the phone company contacted her about that.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, we used to do that all the time. My mother knew if I phone call from me or whomever collect a charge, she would just say, no, I declined the charges. And then she knew we were ready to get picked up from wherever.

[Rob Carson]

It's fantastic. Oh, my God. Payphone. As you put a dime in your shoe to go to the village. Now you. Now you put a 20 in your shoe to go to the villages. Because you know, you got to get some chardonnay when you're hanging at the villages, you know, playing pickleball, all of that. This is kind of interesting. Outrage as a grade school children are rushed to the ER after substitutes teacher, I guess legit. I mean, legend. 59 year old Felicia Lloyd gave the kids weed gummies to celebrate the boy's birthday. She literally gave grade school third graders weed gummies as part of the birthday celebration. Several of them got hospitalized. I mean, honestly, what in the hell?

[Mary Walter]

Well, am I the only person who wants to see the, you know, the videotape of the questioning of that? Like, why? What? I want to know what made you as a grown adult think that this was a good idea? Like, what was the thought process? That's what I want to hear.

[Rob Carson]

I wish she was already high. She was already high.

[Mary Walter]

Oh, she was, I think.

[Rob Carson]

No, that's what I'm saying. The excuse. Why she's like, you know, what is the. These kids look like. Hi. That's what happened.

[Mary Walter]

Well, but see, but we don't know that. You're just assuming that, right?

[New York City Official]

Like, we don't know.

[Mary Walter]

Well, yes, we know that.

[Rob Carson]

Allegedly. Yes.

[Mary Walter]

Yes, allegedly. Okay, so I'm just saying, see, I want to see what the thought process was, you know, because I got to get inside. I want to know what makes a lot of these really beyond stupid people function.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Mary Walter]

Right. Like, don't you. It's because that's funny. It's like when I go to the zoo and I watch some of the animals and I watch them, you know, like you watch the monkeys. You can see them try to try to noodle it out. You're like trying to figure out how to get, you know, the peanut out of the jar.

[Rob Carson]

Right?

[Mary Walter]

It's the same process. I want to watch the stupid people. Okay, explain to me exactly what you were thinking. That's what I Want to know?

[Rob Carson]

We should put them in a cage with a, with a glass wall and just. Or, you know, one of those. See through those mirrors you can't see through and just watch them see what the hell's going on.

[Mary Walter]

Warnings for children.

[Rob Carson]

This is an interesting story. Women viewed a beloved pizza topping men love if they order it as selfish on a date. What is that topping?

[Mary Walter]

Anchovies.

[Rob Carson]

Meat lovers. Meat lovers. They think it's very selfish for a man to order meatloaf. I don't like meat lovers. Meat lovers. Too much meat. Too much meat. But. But they say that meat lovers. As soon as a man orders a meat lovers and you're at the table, a woman, a lot of time go, are you serious? You really going to order a meat lovers? I mean, how many. What percentage of women like meat lovers?

[Mary Walter]

I mean, the pizza are we talking about that's for the two of them to share. Or is this just like his personal pizza?

[Rob Carson]

I don't. I guess it's to share. I would assume it's to share if he orders a meat lovers.

[Mary Walter]

Okay, if it's to share with and you're on a date, would you not ask the other person, hey, what do you like?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I'm thinking the pizza is more, more, less of an issue than the guy who's ordering the pizza.

[Mary Walter]

Exactly. Bingo. That's what I was going with. Because I love anchovies, I love an anchovy pizza, but I know that I'm in the minority. Every now and then I get someone who's like, yes, and then we'll split that pizza. My husband and so somebody can get whatever they want. But you ask first.

[Rob Carson]

Right.

[Mary Walter]

Like, what don't you like on your pizza? What do you like? That kind of thing. And you come up with something together.

[Rob Carson]

Ye lot of the times if a woman wants to order the pizza, you will go ahead and suffer through the pizza, even if because she knows you. Because you know what? Because women, when they ever want something and they're a little bit weird about it, like, I like light cheese. They like this. It's cute. When a man wants it, it's always an annoyance. Oh, you like extra sauce? Oh, that's gross. Really? That's the way it was in my family anyway.

[Mary Walter]

Well, because men pretend it's cute because they want sex later.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that's true.

[Mary Walter]

And women don't care, so they're just gonna.

[Rob Carson]

It's all about Mary sex and pizza. It's all about getting a piece. So here's the deal.

[Mary Walter]

Women don't have to lie to men to get sex. Because you guys are so easy.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dear God, yes. Hell yes. All right, so coming up, my story of my superpower. It's. It's bizarre. Also, the happiest cities in America is revealed. We'll find out if yours is on it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Pizza margarita, white pizza, veggie. And in one of my. This, this is a, this is a guilty pleasure. It is Papa John stuffed crust with marinara dipping on the side. I know, I know it's crap pizza, but the other two I absolutely love. And deep dish Chicago. Just the cheese. Just the cheese. Maybe a little sausage. What about you, Mary? What kind of, what kind of pizza do you like?

[Mary Walter]

Okay, so I like the cracker crust. Typical Jersey thin cracker crust pizza. And I cannot, I'm sorry, I hate to say this, I sound. But I am a total pizza snob living where I live. I cannot eat pizza outside of the state of New Jersey.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, really? Look at you, you little snot.

[Mary Walter]

If it comes from a chain. I'm so sorry.

[Political Analyst]

I just.

[Mary Walter]

Why waste the calories?

[Rob Carson]

I had kids. I had kids. And I gotta tell you, there's nothing wrong with a Papa John stuffed crust marinara dipping on the side. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I love it.

[Mary Walter]

It's like being from Texas or Scouts Carolina and eating barbecue in New Jersey.

[New York City Official]

Okay.

[Mary Walter]

Why would.

[Rob Carson]

You're God in heaven. Yeah, right. Happiest, happiest, happiest cities in the US Revealed according to a new study Wallet Hub. Fremont, California. Never been. Number one. Bismarck, North Dakota. Number two. Sure, talk to me like in February.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah. People who live there love the cold. Believe it or not, I like to. That doesn't bother me.

[Rob Carson]

Dear God. Scottsdale, Arizona. South Burlington, Vermont. Fargo. Fargo, North Dakota. Number five, Overland Park, Kansas, where I moved from. Thank you very much. Number six, Charleston, South Carolina. Irvine, California. Gilbert, Arizona and San Jose. Those are the top 10. Columbia, Maryland is in there. Number 13. Although Maryland, they're just driving into the pits of hell with these stupid governor and the, the insane asylum that is the, the state legislature. Seattle's number 15. Whatever.

[Mary Walter]

But a lot of these are in very blue states like California and Washington and some very, very blue states. And my question is what? First of all, who was, who was surveyed? But also, what were the questions that were asked? Because everybody's definition of happiness is different, right?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mary Walter]

So like I'm not happy giving the state of New Jersey $20,000 a year in property taxes for I Get Zippo in return.

[Rob Carson]

But $20,000. $20,000.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Our governor is a helicopter pilot. So, you know, that's just to wipe all of the concern about your taxes away. And do you sell a house in New Jersey, if it sells for over a million dollars, you pay a penalty tax. You pay a tax, the seller pays a tax off of that. It's a certain percentage what you sell for. And now they're also imposing it on the buyer because they realized, oh, that's more money we can get. And if you have a certain amount of money and you try to leave the state of New Jersey, you have to pay an exit tax.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dear God, I will never move to New Jersey. Well, I know, I know, but that's it. Here's my story. So last night I'm at this little jazz place I like to go to. I'll sit at the bar and have a Diet Coke, get some muscles and a little bit of bread, right? And I go in and I notice over here in the corner where I ended up having to sit is a couple. And the mom is sitting there. And on the floor is two year old sitting on his own little lawn chair right next to this gigantic stroller in the corner of the bar. Mom's sitting here knitting and crocheting a giant blanket she'd been working on for a year. And the kid is on the floor in a lawn chair over there. So I'm like, what the hell are you doing here with your kid? So they're talking, they're next to me over here and taking up this giant corner. I have to get up a couple times so she can take the kid out and she can take the stroller out and all this. And all of a sudden my superhero power kicks in that I, that I developed when I was, when I was a father of young children. And it is called Poodar. All right? So I could tell when my kid had done it in the diaper from the next county. I mean, it was crazy. They could be upstairs sleeping. I'd say, honey, Will made a poopy. She's like, how did you know? I said, poodar, Poodar. So I'm going, hold on, hold on. I'm looking at the people sitting around me. I'm like, I hope you didn't do this. And then I went, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I noticed earlier the kid was laying on a blanket on the floor over there in the corner of the bar. They changed the kids diaper at the bar, under the blanket, on the floor. Mary, who in the hell does that?

[Mary Walter]

Well, you've met the people who do that. Yeah. First of all, your poodar will come in handy when you go to the home. So that's a plus. You know, whoever thought they see, that's a superpower.

[Rob Carson]

You can't smell your own Mary.

[Mary Walter]

Seasonal. You know, it's like a seasonal superpower. But I don't think you needed poodar for that. Like, pretty much everyone could figure that one out. So our little bar in town, people bring dogs and kids and stuff like that, but it's just a bar. That's it. Like, it's just a bar.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Mary Walter]

And you know, the kids don't really run around. Like, the proprietor is very nice, but he's not gonna put up with your kids running around. You can bring the kids in, but they're not gonna put up with them running around. And people have bring dogs in and that's fine. It's a neighborhood bar and everybody knows everybody but that to me, like, was she homeless?

[Rob Carson]

No, they were just a young couple with the kid. Brought the kid, had the lawn chair for the kid on the floor and the stroller for the kids. She's. She's crocheting this giant blanket, eating the pasta, whatever. And all sudden the kid makes poopy. They change the dang kids diaper right there in the bar.

[Mary Walter]

I'm like, you cannot be kidding. I just would have turned around. I would have said something like, I would have turned around. I would have been like, I'm sorry, but can you do that in the ladies room? Like where they have a changing station and if they don't, they should. But. But when you bring your kid out, that's what, that's what you have to live with. You know, that's the choice you make.

[Rob Carson]

You know what I did? I just pooped my pants just to get back. I'm like, oh, you really? Let me show you how it's done. Actually, I didn't do it.

[Mary Walter]

And ladies, maybe in 20 years, she's all yours. There you go. That's. There's your Tinder profile right there.

[Rob Carson]

All right, that's gonna do it for the show. Mary, tell everybody where you can hear your podcast see on TV and everything.

[Mary Walter]

All right, so Monday I will be super guest. It is on Newsmax from 10am to noon on over there on Newsmax and then you can catch me on Todd Starn's show on Newsmax N2 on Tuesdays, 5 o' clock hour. My live cast is Tuesdays, 7:15pm Eastern Time. Just look for Mary Walter radio everywhere.

[Rob Carson]

Go. Yeah, Mary Walter radio. All right. Have a good one, Mary. I'll talk to you. Have a glorious weekend. God bless. We'll talk soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Yeah. Can you believe that story? I mean, unbelievable. Sitting there and I'm like, what are you doing with your toddler in a lawn chair in the corner and the stroller? They had a whole corner camped out by the window. And then all of a sudden I'm like, what is the old. That smells like somebody made a poopy. And then the next thing I know, I turn over and I knew she was changing the diaper on the floor covered with the blanket. I'm like, you cannot be doing that. You cannot be doing. I mean, it bothers. Are I include this stuff because, you know, the show is about a little bit of everything. You know I'm talking about. The show is about a little bit of everything. It's about. It's about comedy. It's about personal experience, about all of that. I wanted to. I wanted to share that with you just because I thought it was so. Just bizarre. Just bizarre. Absolutely. You know what? I thought I was gonna play some Jim Gossett comedy here because we got a lot of stuff to do before the end of the show. You don't want to wait on it? I'm gonna wait on it. This is kind of funny. Zoran Mondami is now begging people to not leave New York. Listen, he's saying that middle class people are leaving because they can't afford there to live there anymore. That's true, but he also is not mentioning that people who make money are getting the hell out of New York. Listen, he's already begging people this day.

[New York City Official]

Being in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we already see an exodus of working in middle class New Yorkers.

[Rob Carson]

The exodus is happening.

[New York City Official]

I don't have a hesitation in asking those who make the most amount of money in the city or the most profits in the city to pay a little bit more so that everyone can actually stay in this city. It's also something not just about justice or, or the ability for working class people to live here. It is also actually about ensuring that corporations can continue to attract. Attract the top talent to this city.

[Rob Carson]

Because in a city afford to live there, how the hell are you going to work there?

[New York City Official]

See where child care costs more than $20,000 a year. I've heard from corporate leaders about how difficult it is for them to attract individuals who would work at their companies but want to raise a family. Because you could be making $300,000 a year and you will feel that $20,000 a year because of the fact that we have allowed for the absence and

[Rob Carson]

all the taxes and all the other fees and nonsense for living there of

[New York City Official]

affordable child care to become reality.

[Rob Carson]

The government is the main cause of all of the cost of living in New York City. That's it. All the over regulation, all of the over taxation, all of the nonsense. If you're making over a couple hundred grand in New York city, you're paying 50, 60% of your income. This is why Rush Limbaugh left. This is why Sean Hannity left New York City. You couldn't pay me enough to live in New York City. No way. Ever, ever, ever. And certainly not since that Jack Weed was voted into office. Coming up, one doctor in California, 16,000 patients billing Medicare $600 million. You think there's some fraud there? Yeah. Thank you, Democrat Party Gavin Newsom. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. To realize the future America needs. We understand what's needed from us to face each threat head on. We've earned our place in the fight for our nation's future.
