Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Midterm Elections & Gerrymandering Controversy

• Virginia’s Power Struggle:

  • Politicians in Virginia attempt a “colossal power grab” by trying to reshape the state constitution and Supreme Court in their favor (03:15).

• Democratic Party “Meltdown”:

  • Carson posits Democrats can’t win honestly and resort to extreme strategies, predicting increased unrest:
    • “They're not going to become more moderate, they're not going to lower taxes... The only way they can continue their agenda is by force.” [01:50]
  • Allegations that party leaders “hint at more violence” to maintain control.
  • Personal anecdote: Sia, a former Democratic campaigner from Sierra Leone, switches parties due to disillusionment with Democratic leadership and subsequent vilification (05:30–07:00).

2. The Mullah Standoff: Iran, Nuclear Negotiations & Foreign Policy

[Rob Carson]

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.

This is hour number two of the Rob Carson Show. There's much to get to on the radio program. First hour was a lot of fun. He had James Rosen on, chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax talking about a bunch of different stuff. At the bottom of this hour, we're talking to Brigitte Gabriel about what's going on in Iran. And you know, here's the thing and I actually kind of like it. A couple of things are happening and I was, I was listening to Steve Bannon this weekend about why Iran is, is delaying, delaying, delaying. It's about the midterms and they're working with China to kind of delay this through the midterms so it'll impact Donald Trump because they want Donald Trump to get hit. They want Donald Trump to be slowed down because what Donald Trump is doing is so effective against China and against Iran and against the rest of the despotic world at large. And so that's what I think is happening there. And I think the president's patience are wearing thin. I think that sooner or later we're going to have to pull the trigger and we have to drop a few bombs on some infrastructure. We'll see, we'll see what Brigitte Gabriel had to say at the bottom of the hour. I had mentioned earlier that Donald Trump has linked Hakeem Jeffries to the White House Correspondent's Dinner assassination attempt by using words like, you know, maximum warfare. Everywhere, all the time. Everywhere, all the time. I mentioned earlier, he, he's, he's hinting at more violence. I'm not sure if this is the sound, but I'm looking for, but here is Hakeem Jeffries with regard to what is. No, I said that's the wrong one. I'm not going to play that one. I'm not going to play it. You can't make me. No, I'm not going to there you. But he basically said good violence or good whatever he said. But the Democrat Party is right Now I said, and it's being echoed by a lot of other people. They're going to get violent this summer because they're seeing their ability to steal and gerrymander and take mail in ballots and get people on the rolls who are not there or the cleaning up the ballots off, you know, dead people and whatnot off the rolls is going through. And so they're not going to switch positions, they're not going to become more moderate, they're not going to lower taxes, they're not going to do that. The only way they can continue their agend going is by force. And they're talking about in Virginia, by the way, now basically getting rid of, getting rid of the Supreme Court that killed the gerrymandering, illegal gerrymandering that they tried over in Virginia. And here is Guy Vincent to talk about their plan.

[Guy Vincent]

The Virginia Democrats just conducted an unconstitutional power grab trying to change the state constitution via referendum. And they did it through an illegal process. The state Supreme Court actually said you can remedy the process by doing it legally next time. Here's how you do that.

[Rob Carson]

All you gotta do, all you gotta do is do it legally the next time. Don't use misleading language on the ballot like you did.

[Guy Vincent]

And now you're seeing this meltdown on the left where the New York Times is reporting about these machinations at least being discussed by some Democrats at high levels. One of which, as you just detailed, Joey, involves taking out the entire state Supreme Court.

[Rob Carson]

That would be, that would be a gigantic mistake in a state where they were a colony that actually signed on to start the Revolutionary War because of taxation without representation. That would be a gigantic mistake if they tried and they wouldn't succeed.

[Guy Vincent]

Going back retroactively and saying, oh, you're all too old. The new cutoff is 54. You're all ineligible to be justices, so you're out. That is banana.

[Rob Carson]

I can't even imagine how many laws that would be breaking if you just said that nobody on the Supreme Court can be over the age of 54 years old. Really? How about no Democrats under the age of 40?

[Guy Vincent]

Republic total institution destroying madness. Then the backup plan that they're talking about doing apparently is to invalidate the 2020 constitutional amendment that was overwhelmingly supported by Virginians that created the independent redistricting process that has actually brought about a fair map.

[Rob Carson]

It is a fair map.

[Guy Vincent]

And then the legislature would say, okay, that one doesn't count anymore. Now we'll draw these new districts. I think there are some Democrats tapping the brakes on it saying, you Better

[Rob Carson]

not do that because you're going to start something really, really bad.

[Guy Vincent]

If they seriously consider either of these things, it is seismic and like a red flag moment for the democracy that they pretend to care about.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they don't care about it. Don't care about it. That's why they're not moderating their, their you message. I told you. They're going to have to reinvent themselves or disappear in the dustbin of history. And a lot of people are leaving the Democrat Party. A lot of people, particularly people of color, are leaving the Democrat Party. I was hanging out with this delightful woman. Her name is cfano. And she was a Democratic good standing in Baltimore area for years, for years and years and years. She knocked on doors for Barack Obama, she knocked on doors for Joe Biden and she began to realize how intellectually and morally bankruptcy the Democrat Party was becoming. And then after Charlie Kirk was murdered and assassinated and Democrats were celebrating, it's just, I can't be a part of this. I can't be this, this is, this is evil. This is on the wrong side of good and on the wrong side of God. And she, she said that of all the time that she spent in America, she's from Sierra Leone and you can see her on my Facebook page at Rob Carson show. But she's from Sierra Leone. She said never by a Republican was she ever, ever, ever treated differently because of the color of her sk. Never demeaned. She was never called any racist names by any Republican ever. But when she left the Democrat Party and announced her candidacy as a Republican, she was called every name in the book starting with N. Among other words, everything you could possibly imagine. They threatened her, they went after her and she was, she's going to be a great voice for the Republican Party, particularly people of color in this part of the country, Baltimore area. By the way, her name is Sia. And I said that she's, she's gonna do a podcast and she's gonna do it at night. And I said, why don't you call it See ya later. And I told that to Ryan, my producer in Baltimore. And he kind of looked at me like, what really she think of it? I thought it was great. So anyway, see you later. Was it here is a great idea. See you later. I think it's, it's spectacular. But here's Jonathan Turley talking about what they did in, in the state of Virginia, the face plant that a baby Abigail scam burglar did. And by the way, I put up a meme this weekend that, that she's already a lame duck.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

Virginia was always the gold standard for gerrymandering. Virginia doesn't like gerrymandering.

[Rob Carson]

No, it's perfect. It was six to five. It was exactly the split of the, of the people who were being governed

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

makes it very difficult to do so. They have a commission to avoid gerrymandering. So to get this through they had to do a sort of bums rush to get this in before the midterm elections. And the Supreme Court of Virginia said no, we're not going to sign off on this now. This was a Facebook.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you better say that everybody over the age of 54 has to resign.

Planting.

Who the hell comes up with that

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

of legendary size for Governor Spamberger? She had previously assured voters that she was vehemently against gerrymandering.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, she completely lied to go into office. So now nobody can believe anything she says.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

And as soon as she was elected, she went to the hard left and then asked and pushed through the most radical gerrymandering scheme in the country.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it didn't work out so well.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

And so this is a remarkable effort that has resulted in a massive loss for the Democrats. They spent a fortune.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

In addition to the 64 million. They alienated half of this state.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

And they exposed their flank so we can kick their butts. They showed that the Democrat party, I think anywhere can be trusted when they're running for election because they will turn hyper left, take away whatever rights necessary so they can win. Here is Ted Lieu. I gotta meet this guy in the. I didn't meet him. I just walked by him in, in the Capitol, the annex to the Capitol. I was like, oh, there were so many things I wanted to say but probably would have gotten hauled out by security. Here he is with a. Just a moronic observation of what happened in Virginia.

But that Virginia push by Democrats. You spent more than $60 million.

That's Marge Brennan on CBS.

Colors on that redistricting effort. Wouldn't those funds have been better spent on those frontline candidates? And think arguing on the issues, you

think, but they can't. They can't win on the issues because they're on the wrong side of the issues.

[Legal Expert or Commentator]

What the Virginia Supreme Court did was not only wrong, it was disgraceful. They.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, wrong and disgraceful is not an argument.

[Legal Expert or Commentator]

They said, hey, Virginia, spend all this taxpayers money holding election, do all this stuff.

[Rob Carson]

And yeah, it was a completely skewed election, was an illegal election. And it also had in a ballot initiative that was worded to to be dishonest.

[Legal Expert or Commentator]

Oh, by the way, just kidding. That election didn't count. The court could have stopped this by not having the election in the first place. They suckered the people of Virginia.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's.

[Legal Expert or Commentator]

It was a complete disgrace. Now most of the money, nobody brought

[Rob Carson]

the suit until the. You guys jammed it down our throats and did the actual election. And then they had to turn it back. That's the reason why, you see. But in the. In the. For instance, in Tennessee last week, we had another victory in Tennessee last week. We had the SCOTUS decision on Monday. We had Virginia on Tuesday. Then we had. In Tennessee, they got rid of a racial gerrymanded district because the Supreme Court made it illegal to gerrymander according to race. Right. And the Democrats. Democrat party is coming up with all sorts of just caterwauling. This is State Senator London Lamar saying it's slavery all over. It's. And even though it's the Democrats who created slavery. Slavery all over again.

[Caller or Guest]

This is a deliberate plan to take away the black vote.

[Rob Carson]

Not one little bit. Not one little bit at all. Black people could still vote.

[Caller or Guest]

Black people aren't Democrat or Republican. We vote.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, no, no, no. You vote almost exclusively Democrat because the Democrats like to keep you on that thought plantation in gerrymandered districts.

[Caller or Guest]

Sho. So far, the black people in Memphis vote their issues. And to see them act like they don't know what they're doing and deliberately take away our ability to have a solid voting power and representation in Congress is one of the.

[Rob Carson]

That's more of the same old nonsense fear mongering. I saw this woman, she's an influencer online. Her name is April Chapman. And she had some brilliant, brilliant thoughts on this. And. And what. How. What you just heard right there was absolute nonsense.

[April Chapman]

The right to vote has not been stripped from you. So if black people are still voting, what are we talking about? Like, what are we actually talking about? Because Democrats up in Tennessee are acting like these Tennessee Republicans have snatched ballots out of black folks hands, padlocked the polling places, and put Jim Crow at the front door with a clipboard. Let me break it down. They redrew their congressional map. And yes, the Democrats lost their guaranteed political playpen. They've had such a political stronghold for so long and they've been emotionally using the fight and the struggle.

[Rob Carson]

This is why the district in question here is like every other gerrymandered racial district run by Democrats. Ruled with poverty, ruled with resentment, grievance, high crime, bad schools, never fixed. What are you getting for Your representation,

[April Chapman]

nothing of civil rights and the Edmund Pettus Bridge and all the bloodshed that happened. They've been using that in order to maintain political power in this one particular district.

[Jim Gossett]

Boom.

[Rob Carson]

Using fear to keep you on that thought. Plantation. I've got another thought from her on the other side. She calls Democrats something I think is a really, really good moniker for Democrats, particularly when it comes to race and whatnot. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson. 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, 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 $0 sum. 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 27 Medicare. Call 27 Medicare today.

Relentlessly slowing the spread of the stupid. Every day it's the Rob Carson Show.

Memphis is so mad they're gonna secede from the union. I don't know exactly how that's possible, but here it is.

[Local Politician or Activist]

If this body believes that Memphis should not have the right to elect representation.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. City's gonna secede from the union.

[Local Politician or Activist]

Reflective of his own community. The legislature should explain.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Local Politician or Activist]

Why Memphis should continue to be part of the state of Tennessee. Let Memphis succeed. You don't have to redraw maps when you let us out. Let my people.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Where are you going to go?

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Now other Southern states are either.

[Rob Carson]

Where are you going to go? Where are you going? Honestly, I would. I would. I would love it, and I've said this about the possibility of secession in our division, that if this actually happened, then the. The Democrats would be streaming across the border Within a year, because all their tax base would be gone. They would have the, no military, you know, poverty. All the things that are happening in places like California, by the way, in California. California. It's just so, it's just so laughable to be quite honest. And, and apparently Al Sharpton, Al Sharpton is very, you know, of course, he's being very dramatic and hold on, let me see if find the article here. Because Sharpton, of course, always, despite the fact he's the biggest race baiter in the history of mankind, he says that, you know, of course this is the end of the union and slavery and all of that. You know, while I'm looking for this story, I'll just go ahead and play this brand new from Jim Gothen as Al Sharpton on the Rob Carson.

[Jim Gossett]

They scrapped a racist map down in Memphis, Tennessee. All you hear is whining from poverty pimps like me. Oh, that Supreme Court ruling means that Tennessee's all red and our racial gerrymandering will soon be dead.

[Rob Carson]

Aw, man, what the hell?

[Jim Gossett]

Lots of paid protesters in Memphis, Tennessee. Steve Cohen is pouting in Congress. He won't be.

[Rob Carson]

He's a white guy.

[Jim Gossett]

I don't know why we care about this old white guy. To say that he's a victim. That's a great big lie.

[Rob Carson]

Well, he's a rectum, not a victim.

[Jim Gossett]

Other states are following the lead of Tennessee from our manipulation. They will soon be free. I will lose my racket if I can't make it about race. The thought of fair elections I don't

[Rob Carson]

want to face that is Jim Gossett. Go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy if you want to help him out, he's pretty amazing. In fact, he is freaking amazing. Jim Gossett patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy here's what Al Sharpton said. He said it on Ms. Now. Dear God, you thought that they were going to change. Ms. Now got worse than msnbc. They actually got worse. Sharpton said, I think we're seeing the end of the second reconstruction. Blacks were slave 250 years ago. Women couldn't vote. But we're not even going to pretend during this anniversary that this is about democracy. So, I mean, the whole idea of us bringing the country together, they're ripping it to shreds. No, bro, you are the guy who's been ripping it to shreds. You're a race painter and that's just that you've been doing it for years. He said, and they're doing it Gleefully. And they're doing it so openly. The question is, will we be able to come with the same force that our forefathers did? So there he is trying to start a war or something. I guess there. Anyway, Lydia Moynihan on CNN explained the obvious non racism of the Tennessee race because by not racially gerrymanding the district, a white guy is going to be pushed out of the seat and a black conservative Republican woman was going to win.

[April Chapman]

A little ironic that the woman now who is likely going to win the 9th district in Tennessee is a black Republican woman.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

As a result of this redistricting effort,

[Political Opponent or Commentator]

it's likely gonna be a black Republican

[April Chapman]

woman who beats that old white man.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

Could I make this very simple?

[Rob Carson]

Isn't that amazing? That is just remarkable, isn't it? Let's switch gears. I want to talk a little bit about Bill Maher. Had a little monologue this weekend about this soy boy who attempted to shoot Donald Trump. The trial's gonna be starting very soon. He's pled not guilty. Going to the White House correspondence dinner. The reason why he went was to kill Donald Trump because Donald Trump was there for the first time in years. Duh. Allegedly. Whatever. And Bill Maher talked about this new generation of political assassin this weekend, and he was very spot on.

[Bill Maher]

And finally, new rule. Luigi Mangione Cole, Thomas Allen, Tyler Robinson, and the ghost of Thomas Crooks must form a boy band called New kids. On the Glock.

[Rob Carson]

On the Glock.

Nice.

Nice.

[Bill Maher]

Just to drive home the point, these are not your father's political assassins. Things have changed. One thing. Today's assassins have popular support with the kids. Up to 40% of America's young adults say violence is okay to achieve a political goal. Wow. Seems like 5 minutes ago when one of the big causes of the left was gun control, but now guns are the answer.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah. Apparently that's the Democrat party for you. Here's a little bit more from Bill Maher about this attempted assassin in D.C.

[Bill Maher]

cole Allen took selfies before enacting his diabolically clever plan of running fast. You know, Cole, why do I think this is more about you than the cause? You're running through the metal detector, but maybe you're really chasing clout.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, 100%. Here he is talking about the Gen

[Bill Maher]

Z. Gen Z lives are not that bad. Most of our lives here in America are not how we live right now, in the year we're actually living in, in the country we're actually living in. Doesn't Warran condoning political violence? I can see it if you live under a truly oppressive regime. Communism, fascism, Catholicism. But that's not where we are now. You're not storming the beaches at Normandy. You're not standing in breadlines, you know, just like our no kings we had here. The protests. They also had them in Iran. But over there, the protesters got shot in the street. And yes, ICE did that too. Twice. The Iranian thugs did it 30,000 times. Have some perspective. Get real.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Listen to the audience. Holy heck. Isn't that amazing? Yeah, it is ridiculous. They're trying to make life in America seem dark and awful and it's not.

[Local Politician or Activist]

It's great.

[Rob Carson]

Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Stick around for Bridget Gabriel. In New York City. Zoran Mandami is doing an estate tax of up to 50%. That's what he's pushing for for families leaving behind a life's earnings, that's devastating. What are you leaving for your family? Do you have life insurance?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

I believe that the precise War that

[Rob Carson]

we're fighting now is one without a

[Brigitte Gabriel]

strategy and one without an endgame and one that is costing us more than just American lives.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah, that may be the case.

[John Fetterman]

Every single Democrat has said we can't ever let Iran build a bomb.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah.

[John Fetterman]

And then every single president. When Kamala Harris was running for president, she identified that as the top, top concern for her international. And then finally we did something about that. And I absolutely support that thing. And for me now, I think, I think it shouldn't be controversial as a Democrat to say, look, we don't have to agree every aspect of epic fury, but I do think we should all agree that here we are at the cusp now hold them accountable and remind them they are the bad guys. We are not the bad guy.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That is John Fetterman countering. You know what type of Terry always forget anyway on, on, on Bill Maher show because the Democrat party since day one of epic epic fury have been praying that the American military would fail and the ayatollahs would survive. That's just, it's just true. Joining us to talk about this and so much more, one of our favorites, Brigitte Gabriel. She is the head of actforamerica.org Brigitte, how are you on this glorious Monday?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Hello, my friend. I'm doing great and I'm delighted to be back with you again.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I'm not going to give up my enthusiasm and my joyousness about where we are going as a country in our 250th year and the possibility of freedom for the Iranian people. I'm not giving it up. It looks like Iran has offered an agreement that is totally unacceptable according to Donald Trump. What have you heard? What do you hope will happen? I'm hoping their foolish pride will ultimately end in that government toppling completely. So freedom will come.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Well, you know, we know they are fools, they are destroying the country, but they don't care. The IRGC who is basically controlling the negotiations. I mean, obviously it is very clear right now that no matter what the Iranians put forward, whether they're prime minister, whether the president, whether the head of the parliament, the IRGC is dictating the outcome of this agreement. This is what they want. They want to continue enriching uranium. This is why they did not mention anything about it in their proposal. And President Trump, this is non negotiable for him from day one. This is exactly what he wanted. He wanted to make sure that the uranium enriched material, that we get that out of Iran he does not want that in the hands of the Iranians. He wants it out to protect it. We know right now that Iran, Iran has 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium and enriched up to level grade 60. It's just one next step to take it up to 90%. It's at 60% right now. We know the Iranians said that they already have enough material to build 11 nuclear bombs. So they already said that and President Trump took them at their own words. So we want to make sure we get that material out of Iran. And, and that's what President Trump is negotiating. And that's the number one priority in any agreement that is presented by the United States to Iran. Iran doesn't want to touch it. They do not want to budge. We want that to happen. The good news is, as President Trump said, we are monitoring, we know exactly where the uranium enriched material is stored. We are monitoring it from space and our space, military, whatever he calls it. And as he said, he said, we know it's safe. Nobody can get to it. Right now. If anybody tried to get close to this material, we could literally identify the person, what's his name, where he lives. We can see it down to his tag number, to his number on his suit. So we're not going to let anybody get close to that material. But we need an agreement and we need to get it out of Iran and Iran does not want that to happen.

[Rob Carson]

Well, this is the only thing they have, Brigitte. They don't have a military anymore. They don't have a ability to build missile, they don't have ability to launch missiles. They don't have a navy anymore. The only thing they have, the only thing that could cause mass destruction that they want is a nuclear bomb. It would take them decades to rebuild their military. That's why they're hanging onto this. But I believe this is foolish pride. I think the President has been more than deliberate, patient and kind with regard to going after the infrastructure and the bridges of the country. Do you suppose, as Jack Keane among others has said, that we're going to have to do some more kinetic strikes?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

I believe we have to do that. We have to do the military option. And here is why, Rob, and you and I have talked about this before in the past. What's driving the Iranians is a messianic vision of bringing back their messiah, their Mahdi. This is what's behind the nuclear development program. The religious crazy mullahs believe that if they can create a worldwide catastrophe, this is exactly what's driving their nuclear projectif. They can create a worldwide catastrophe that will enable and pave the path to usher in the return of their Mahdi, the Messiah. So while we Christians and Jews, you know, the Christians, we believe that Jesus is going to return, the Jews believe that the Messiah is going to come back, is going to come. But there is nothing we can do as Jews and Christians to hasten the return of our Messiah. However, in Shiite Islam, they can bring, through a catastrophe or through a worldwide tragedy or catastrophic events, they can bring back the Mahdi, where Islam will reign supreme above all else throughout the world. So for them, they believe they are doing the work of the Messiah, they are doing the work of Allah, they are enabling the return of their Messiah. And therefore, it doesn't matter if they have to fight until the last, with the last breath, they will continue fighting to usher in the return of the Mahdi. They are religious zealots, and that's what we are dealing with.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, but we've got a lot of good people in the country of Iran who are yearning for freedom. And I'm hoping that there will be a point that the leadership there will be so weakened that the people can take over there. I'm hearing from people like Steve Bannon that the reason why Iran is doing this is because they're working with China to delay the possibility of some sort of a piece to affect the midterms, keep fuel prices high, keep oil prices high, etc. Are you hearing that from people?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Well, that's a part of it as well. I mean, of course they hate Trump so much, they want to make sure that they can drag this as far as they can, bring gas prices up, bring the cost of everything else up until the midterm. This is their goal because this is the only thing that they can have. They have have two things to play with. The Straits of Hormuz and dragging this war long enough knowing that the American public has a very short attention span. The majority of Americans are getting their news from TikTok, from social media, and they are hoping this is exactly why they released their commercials. They even have a commercial, a media campaign right now, basically bragging about how Iran is winning, how they are, how America is losing this war, hoping to impact the young minds and the generation who's getting their information from social media to impact the midterm election.

[Rob Carson]

And then you've got the American media, you've got the American media and the Democrat Party both on the side of Iran. That's what's making it so bloody difficult for everyone involved on the other side of the break. I'm gonna continue a little bit more on this with you, Brigitte. And I also want your thoughts on Keir Starmer possibly leaving. And maybe the people of Great Britain have had enough of this Islamic takeover of the country. So if you'll hold on through the break, we'd love to continue the conversation. We've got Brigitte Gabriel. Actsforamerica.org get involved. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Ghostbed. I am sleeping better than I've ever slept in my entire life. I used to think a mattress was just furniture, but I got a Ghostbed. 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. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I noticed immediately my first night on a ghost bed, I slept for 10 hours. If you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different, that's not aging. That's your mattress talking. Here's another thing I love about Ghostbed. You get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, just send it back risk free. Ghostbed is currently having their Memorial Day sale plus an extra 10% off for my audience. Go to ghostbed.comcarson and use promo code carson ghostbed.comcarson promo code carson.

[Political Opponent or Commentator]

2014 and 2016, that was a total of $1.7 billion. The same 1.7 billion he told Congress was frozen Iranian at assets. Now, there was a back channel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active for 2012-2024. This was after he left office. So, you know, it was almost like a shadow government. He also sent pellets of cash in a plane to Iran. Now, why would you send money to Iran knowing that they are building a nuclear weapon and they are the leading sponsor of terrorism?

[Rob Carson]

Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. The reality is when President Obama left because of the great efforts of people like Valerie Jarrett, we had 97% of the enriched uranium out.

Wow. He absolutely believes that. Since Ro Khanna responding to Maria Bartiromo, I feel like I've just let a fuse for Brigitte Gabriel to go off. So go for it, Brigitte Gabriel.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Oh, don't let me get started on Trump. We are in today, President Trump is cleaning up after the damage that Obama has caused to our country. Basically, we are fighting a war against an enemy that we financed, that the United States financed through Obama and then Biden with the pallets of cash. So they should be charged with treason for building our enemy, arming our enemy, supporting our enemy, emboldening our enemy to fight our country and kill our citizens. Every, every single soldier or American that died or have been harmed from the time President Obama took office until now. Their blood is on the hands of the Democratic Party, the Biden administration and everybody that was involved in it, as well as the Obama administration and everybody that has been involved in it.

[Rob Carson]

I want to hear a little bit more from Maria Bartiromo and Ro Khanna. This is just remarkable.

There was a deal that we reach to get 97% of the enriched uranium out. In the process of that, Iran had certain assets that were Iranian assets. Assets wasn't our money that was unfrozen. And that was a deal that China, Russia, France, UK, Canada.

[Political Opponent or Commentator]

It doesn't change the fact that 10 presidents before President Trump all said the same thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are the lead, leading state sponsor of terrorism. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.

[Rob Carson]

One president delivered. That was Barack Obama.

[Political Opponent or Commentator]

No, that's not true. Not one.

[Rob Carson]

Barack Obama is the only one who delivered.

[Political Opponent or Commentator]

You're talking fantasy. 97% nothing about it. You're talking fantasy. Obama did nothing about it other than send money to the Iranians, the whole world.

[Rob Carson]

He didn't send money to them. That just factually false. He unfroze Iranian assets. But he had the whole World Bank. Obama had Russia, China, all the whole world on board.

Wow. Wow. Can you believe, I mean, can you

[Brigitte Gabriel]

believe that the chutzpah, you know, the chutzpah. As I see what people say, you know, I love Maria Bartiromo, by the way, the only show I watch in the morning.

[Rob Carson]

She's amazing.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

I know the lies, they lie to your face. They want to make Obama as a savior. And, you know, like he said, you know, Obama was working. He had Russia behind him. He had China behind him.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, Russia and China behind him.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Basically, he had the enemies of the United States lining up together, working together against the United States, of the sitting President of the United States. Obama should be in jail. As you and I are speaking, we see Obama's picture in an orange suit because of the way he betrayed the American people. Because the blood of the Americans who died since Obama took office are on his hands 100%. Should be charged with treason.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, I found it remarkable. He said we weren't sending them money, we were just letting them have their money. I'm like, you idiot. That does. I mean, are you kidding me? Yeah, are you kidding me?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

This is the stupidity we were dealing with, Rob. This is the stupidity we were dealing with. This is exactly why our country is where it is today. And this is why President Trump is so aggravated and has been aggravated with the way a foreign government has treated our country for years under different administrations. And the only reason he decided to run, like you said before, for 30 years ago, like he told Oprah and Barbara Walters, I will only run for president when I know that the country absolutely needs help and it needs me. And that's why he decided to run, because after the damage that Obama has done to the country after eight years of Obama, President Trump said, we've got to save America. And that's why he ran the first time. And that's why they hated his guts and that's why they made sure they stole the election in 2000 to make sure he doesn't come back to power. And here he is now, thank God we've got President Trump back to make sure he fixes America and reverses as much damage as possible before his leadership ends in three years.

[Rob Carson]

Let me ask you this, Brigitte, with regard to Keir Starmer's defeat this last week in Great Britain, do you suppose that Great Britain and Europe have had a belly full of this Muslim horde that's moved in? Do you suppose that this could be a turning point point?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Well, I think the Europeans are finally waking up. Finally. It is a turning point. But we have to wait and see how much they're going to be able to change things around. Remember, at this time, every major city in the UK has an Islamic mayor. Every major city, including London, just like we have Mamdani in New York. So we will see how much the British people are able to raise their voices or how much they're going to be able to have the courage to stand up and fight. I can tell you. Like, for example, our friend Tommy Robinson is having a rally in May just in few weeks in the UK that I was invited to. And I couldn't go because of the hate policies that the UK now is enforcing. They are arrested, arresting or slashing, slapping a terrorism charge against anybody who expressed a point of views on the Internet that the UK did not agree with. So as a foreign journalist, if you have posted anything on your social media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok whatever. Or have written an article that the UK deems that it's Islamophobic. They can literally confiscate your computer, your cell phone. The minute you land British territory, they can slap you with a crime against terrorism. And that's why a lot of people like me decided it's not even worth going to Europe.

[Rob Carson]

I'm going to tell you, England, we've got to wrap things up. But it's not going to end well for Starmer and those people doing that. It's not going to end well for them. It really, really isn't. Listen, we got to run. I am so glad I was able to light your fuse today. You owned it as you always do. Brigitte Gabriel, of course you can go to actforamerica.org Brigitte, God bless you. You. I'm keeping my chin up because the people of Iran are going to be free. I'm standing by that.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Thank you, my friend. Thank you. We want people to go to act for America.org right now and join us.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, Very good. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Show Me how to Live. That is the song we're listening to right now. It's my favorite song of my life. He's asking God, you gave me life, now show me how to live. And Tom Morello. So I got two tickets to see this rededicate 250, a national jubilee of prayer, praise and Thanksgiving taking place on May 17th at the National Mall in D.C. so that's coming up this coming weekend. This next weekend I'm going in and I've got a friend I'm going to be going with. And people from all over the country are going to be showing up there to thank God in worship in preparation for the nation's 250th birthday. It emphasizes rededicating the United States as one nation under God, reflecting on God's providence, my favorite word throughout American history. It's going to be amazing. Doors open at 9 o'. Clock. I've got a couple tickets and I can't wait. It was pretty easy to do it. You just go online and just go to the, the website. They're trying to find it. Freedom250.org freedom250.org But I'm going to be there. I just think it's important. I think it's important that we all be there. I'm very excited about it. Very. Because we are in a, you know, this is a battle of good and evil. It is there Is no doubt about it. There's no doubt one little bit in my mind that this is a battle of good and evil around the world. Around the world. Around the world is happening in and we're going to get into this next hour with Hilary Fordwich with what's happening with Great Britain. And Keir Starmer appears to have been just had his rear end kicked and he's trying to keep this big protest against the globalists and the the Islamists from happening this month and censoring people, keeping them out of the country, etc. It's not going to end well for Keir Starmer. It's not going to end well for Keir Starmer. He's going to be driven from office. He's lost control. I think I've got. Yeah. Here is a Keir Starmer in the death throes of his administration.

[Keir Starmer]

Let me be clear. These are really tough results. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. And we have lost brilliant Labour representatives, people who put so much into their communities so much and ruined them to our party like Democrats movement and the voters have sent your movement was a bow movement a message about the pace of change, how they want their lives in improved May was elected.

[Rob Carson]

You're like they've made everything suck to

[Keir Starmer]

meet those challenges and I'm not going to walk away from those challenges.

[Rob Carson]

What a fop.

[Keir Starmer]

And plunge the country into chaos.

[Rob Carson]

It already is.

[Keir Starmer]

It was a five year term I was elected to do. I intend to see that through. I am feeling very much for the brilliant candidates, brilliant counselors, the brilliant representatives.

[Rob Carson]

No, they're all terrible that we have lost because like the you know, city council in la for God sake for

[Keir Starmer]

them they have put so much into their.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they put so much into ruining the country and the people have finally spoken and this is just the beginning. This is just the beginning in Great Britain and I'm hoping that Nigel Farage becomes the next prime minister. We'll talk to Hillary Ford which next hour, last hour. The Rob Carson Joes right ahead.
