Episode Overview

This high-energy, humor-infused episode of The Rob Carson Show dives into the crumbling state of California under progressive leadership and the seismic political shakeup underway in the UK—especially the collapse of Keir Starmer's Labour government and the rise of Nigel Farage. Carson blends sharp satire, pointed political critique, and engaging guest commentary to explore the consequences of failed progressive policies and the global trend of populist realignment, drawing direct parallels between California's decline and Britain's political revolution.

The Political Earthquake in the UK—Keir Starmer Down, Farage Ascending

• Labour Party’s Catastrophic Defeat

  • Guest Hillary Fordwich explains Labour’s historic loss of over 1,500 seats—including Welsh Labour strongholds that haven’t gone Conservative in a century.

    “Wales have been voting for Labour for over 100 years, Rob, and they lost Wales…This was catastrophic.” — Hillary Fordwich [24:17]

• Potential Successors and Scandals

    • Fordwich credits Trump's policies as a model for conservative resurgence in Europe.

  • Media & Establishment Attacks

    • Farage faces classic “Trump treatment” in the press—old statements, foreign donations, personal attacks—none significantly denting his momentum.
      • “They’re probably going to try to do all the things as they did here. No pun intended: trumped up charges.” — Hillary Fordwich [35:03]

  • Farage’s “True North Star”

    • Admired for authenticity, patriotism, and open defiance of the elite consensus.
      • “Nigel Farage really believes. One of the many, many issues with Starmer is he doesn’t have any moral compass. He’ll go with the wind.” — Hillary Fordwich [35:52]

  • Call for Renewed US-UK Alliance

    • Fordwich laments that Farage and Trump might not overlap in power, wishing for another Reagan-Thatcher era of joint leadership.

“We don’t have to live in darkness anymore in these Democrat hell holes…” — Rob Carson [12:21]

Transcript

[Hillary Fordwich]

Hold it. Now.

[Jim Gossett]

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

[Rob Carson]

This is hour number three of the Rob Carson Show. Joining us at the bottom of the hour, Hilary Fordwich. Always awesome. Always awesome. Hilary Fordwich. To talk about Keir Starmer possibly being boot from the prime minister's office this week doesn't look good for him. And I'm glad because he's a, he's a globalist piece of crap who's really ruined the country, to be quiet on it. Oh, and I just heard this. Are you ready? Did you hear the headline? It looks like the Democrat Socialists. The Democrat Socialists of America. Did you hear these? They're anti billionaires. Billionaires are evil and awful and terrible. They're endorsing Tom Steyer for governor of California. They're endorsing billionaire Tom Steyer for governor of California. Which shows you that the Democrats and socialists have no standards whatsoever. They don't care. They only care that somebody wins who possesses the same views that they have, which are hard, hard, hard, left, open border, trans boys playing in girls, sports, the whole deal, all of that. Trans girls, whatever the hell they are. You have penises and they play with the girls, whatever, you know what I'm saying? But there you go. So Tom Steyer is a Democrat, so it's American. It's kind of funny. It's like saying that, you know, an all black district in Tennessee votes for a white guy. You know it's racist to get rid of the gerrymandering by race in Memphis, but at the same time, the black people, I guess there vote for a white guy exclusively because Democrats don't give a rat's behind about their standards. They have no standards. My friend Chris Plantz likes to say, if it weren't for double standards, Democrats would have no standards whatsoever. So they say that the gerrymandering in Memphis is getting rid of it is racist even though it's elected a white guy for almost 20 years in Steve Cohen. And then the Democrats, Socialists of America hate billionaires, but Tom Steyer is their candidate. California. Honestly, I, it just, you just can't. I mean, just stupid. I mean, honestly, just, just stupid. And AOC is as dumb as a box of rocks without the rocks. Did you hear her? She was talking like University of Chicago and she was. I don't even. Who would go see a panel with her as the head of the panel unless it was like to exemplify how you don't want to be stupid, you know? But anyway, she was doing it, and here she is talking about the American Revolution she says was actually a revolt against billionaires. Which is. Which is so stupid, I don't even know what to say. I'm going to give you a warning as I. As I am what to do that the more you listen to her, the dumber you're going to get. She makes the whole world less smart. But it will. You'll snap back, okay, if you're a Democrat, you may not recover, but if you are conservative in good standing, you're going to lose an IQ point or two. Don't worry, it won't last long.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. And we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power and the state.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, so they just endorsed a billionaire in the state of California, and it was a rebellion against the king. The king, technically, I guess, would have been considered a billionaire. But he didn't get that way by being inventive, coming up with a product, bringing it to market, anything like that. He simply confiscated the wealth of the people. That's the difference. Here's the comeback for this, by the way. Deserves it.

[Comedian/Interjector]

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

[Rob Carson]

Close.

[Comedian/Interjector]

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Comedian/Interjector]

Everyone in this room is now dumber.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah.

[Comedian/Interjector]

For having listened.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Comedian/Interjector]

I award you no points.

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Comedian/Interjector]

And may God have mercy on yourself.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I swear to God. Yeah. I mean, it's. Honestly, it's like. And then people sit there, oh, she real smart. It was you. It was you. Real smart. She real smart. I'm a vote for a hotel where we've been President of the United States. Oh, my God. Here's some more of her. I'm sorry. I hate to do this to you, but I got to do it. Here she is talking about how after a certain amount of money, you're not earning your money again. You're going to lose IQ points. Here we go. Ready? One plus one equals two. Okay. One plus one equals two. Aoc.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

Here's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. Right?

[Rob Carson]

Two plus three equals seven.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

You can't earn a billion dollars. That's right. You just can't earn that.

[Rob Carson]

Four plus four equals giraffe. See?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

Exactly.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Correct.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

You can. You can get market power. You can break rules.

[Rob Carson]

You can do all shoe, hat, airplane things.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

You can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they're worth, but you can't earn that right. And so you have to create a myth.

[Rob Carson]

Okay? And you just. Hold on a second. I have these little inhalers called boom boom sticks. Hold on one second. I got the nose here. Oh, there we go. I'm better. Are you okay? Are you okay? Do you. What, what exactly just happened? We. Oh, I played some AOC audio. Okay. It's coming back to me. It's coming back to me. They just. The Democrat Socialists of America just. They just endorsed a billionaire, Tom Steyer for governor of the state of California. Dana Bash called out Gavin Newscomb as he's known for the lack of affordability because he's made a California, he's made even into a crap hole.

[California Resident]

California has the highest cost of living in the nation. The State's prices are 11% higher than the national average. We were actually out to dinner here in Nashville last night. We met a couple from California. They moved out of California because this

[Rob Carson]

guy, I mean, he is such a sleaze ball. I mean, women in the audience. If you saw this guy and he was at a bar, would you run the other direct? Wouldn't you run the other direction from this guy? He is such a creep.

[California Resident]

They couldn't afford the rent or even to buy a home and also start a family.

[California Economist/Commentator]

Yeah, we got hundreds of thousands of people move in California. Last two, three years, we've.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, no. It's the highest outbound of any state for six years, seeing population growth.

[California Economist/Commentator]

As you know, we move from six to the fourth largest economy in the world.

[Rob Carson]

They've been saying that for years. You've got a $230 billion train to nowhere that was only supposed to cost $30 billion.

[California Economist/Commentator]

Dominate now in every key industry, from AI Quantum, robotics, we dominate in ag, we dominate forestry.

[California Resident]

People are struggling to afford things like your mom was.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Yeah, there you go. He's got a new, new diaper program. He's going to be. This makes perfect sense, actually, that Gavin Newsom would be doing a free diaper program because like, diapers, he's full of crap. Yeah, he's full of crap. But they're going to give away the diapers to newborns. You know, poor women, poor families. But there's a catch. You see, his. His wife is involved with one of the people in charge of the program and nonprofit.

[Brittany Hughes]

So Gavin Newsom's California just announced they're going to be providing free Diapers for newborns across the.

[Rob Carson]

This is Brittany Hughes from mrctv.

[Brittany Hughes]

Thanks. Sounds great, right? Wait a minute. Because this is how they get you. Newsome says the Golden State Start program will give families 400 diapers when they leave the hospital with their newborn.

[Rob Carson]

How long is that going to last?

[Brittany Hughes]

And of course leftists are using this to claim that Nome and Democrats are more pro family and pro life than Republicans. Except here's the thing. At 10 diapers a day, 400 diapers

[Rob Carson]

will get a family that's more diapers than Joe Biden uses.

[Brittany Hughes]

Newborn through about five weeks. The program.

[Rob Carson]

Wow, five weeks of diapers is going

[Brittany Hughes]

to cost the state upwards of $12.5 million next year alone, up from 7 million this year. So I'll let you do.

[Rob Carson]

It'll be 200 million next year.

[Brittany Hughes]

Year after the future math. That money is going to be funneled through a non profit called Baby to Baby which will then hand out their branded diapers to 400 participating. California has about 500 plus hospitals and

[Rob Carson]

the diapers are going to cost like 10 times what a normal diaper would give or take.

[Brittany Hughes]

Oh, and did I mention that Baby2Baby's CEO Nora Weinstein is really good friends with Gavin Newsom's wife and even sits on the board of her California Partners project.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. The scumbaggery. The scumbaggery in the state of California, Spencer Pratt is running for the governor. And I think he's going to win out there. I hope and bray he's gonna win out there. And it's kind of funny because the, a bunch of unions I guess, got together. They put together an ad against him. All right. Turned out this is from the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. The AFL CIO decided to run an ad. Oh no, he's not running for governor. He's running for mayor of LA is what I was trying to say. And they thought that they were gonna really, you know, drop the microphone on this for Spencer Pratt. Turns out it ended up being an ad for Spencer Pratt because nobody wants what they're selling.

[Los Angeles Labor Representative]

Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor. Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand new houses for our unhoused neighbors.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, because all the people in, you know, they had their houses burned down because of the fire last year, don't have a house yet, saying it's time

[Los Angeles Labor Representative]

for the homeless to get help or get out.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's, that's what people want, want to happen.

[Los Angeles Labor Representative]

Pratt thinks LA needs thousands more police officers.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Los Angeles Labor Representative]

That they do, rather than more social workers. And Republican Spencer.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, we don't need more social workers. Duh.

[Los Angeles Labor Representative]

Thinks public employee unions should have less power, not more.

[Rob Carson]

Again, again. There you go.

[Los Angeles Labor Representative]

Is on the right track and needs to stay the course. Vote no On Republican Spencer, L.A. is on the right.

[Rob Carson]

The right path.

[Spencer Pratt]

Oh, my God.

[Rob Carson]

Are you kidding me? Oh, my God. Here is Spencer Pratt saying now this is, this is, this is why he's winning. This is why people love him. He's saying that all the drug addicts, all the criminals, everybody who wander around town, you know, pants down, needles in their arms, you got to give them a grace period. And then you better gtfo you start

[Spencer Pratt]

putting handcuffs on people. Watch how many people leave.

[Hillary Fordwich]

100%.

[Spencer Pratt]

This idea that everyone. If you let everyone do drugs and do whatever they want and, and let the criminals make the outside asylum and with no guards. If you let them do that, they're going to do that. But if you. So when I'm mayor, my plan is first three weeks.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Spencer Pratt]

Signs up across the city. No more nakedness. No more drug use. No more robbing. No worse.

[Rob Carson]

No more crabbing on the sidewalk. No more burning dogs in the street.

[Spencer Pratt]

No more dog abuse. Very. On every sign on everywhere. So that. And we're going to go around. We're going to warn everybody. Hey, got three more weeks of this. Clock's ticking. Just keep telling everyone. Just so the people that are aware, they're like, oh, wow, there's a new mayor in town. They may start leaving. And then when the three weeks or maybe we'll even do two weeks. Maybe people want it faster.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Spencer Pratt]

And then once we start enforcing laws, boom, Streets will be back. You know who. Also I'm going to bring in the cdc because there's medieval diseases in these encampments. They're not swabbing these encampments. They're not swabbing the streets. People are just living in feces and drug use and dogs burning and body. We need these.

[Rob Carson]

This is why he's going to win, this guy. Why he's going to win. This is why this has to spread around the country. This has to happen in Baltimore, for God's sake. It's already happened in Washington, D.C. donald Trump cleaned this town up like you wouldn't believe. Did the same thing to Memphis, for goodness sake. This is what people want to hear. We don't have to live in darkness anymore. We don't have to live in darkness anymore in these Democrat hell holes. Let's take a break and come back this is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. You know, my signature phrase, don't catch is stupid when it comes to Medicare. That's easier said than done. Medicare is overly complex with thousands of plans, hidden gotchas in the fine print and rules nobody really explains to you. Many people just pick something and hope for the best. That's why you need to know about Chapter. They're the only advisor that looks at every plan in the country, matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. When your call with Chapter is done, you know your doctors are covered, your prescriptions are matched, and you go from I hope I did this right to I know I did. That, my friends, is peace of mind. A call with Chapter is free for my audience and there's no pressure to sign up. Call Chapter today. Here's a number, 27 Medicare. That's 27 Medicare. 27 Medicare. 4 Chapter. No pressure. What's your excuse? Call 27 Medicare. And don't catch the stupid yourself. Call 27 Medicare today. So one of the most epic fails in the history of politics is what Karen Bass did with regard to the Palisades fires. Being completely unprepared, being in Africa, leaving despite knowing there was danger, and the absolutely terrible job with regard to recovery. The fires a year and a half ago and 10 houses have been replaced out of 10,000 that were burned down. But Karen Bass is ready to accept responsibility. She says the buck stops with climate change.

[Interviewer]

Another issue is your response to the deadly and devastating fires in January. Your challengers have accused you of mismanaging that response on a number of levels. Spencer Pratt personally blames you for his family losing their homes in those fires. Are you responsible for what happened there and the mismanagement that did occur in those fires in the response to them.

[Karen Bass]

Listen, let me just say that as the mayor of the city, the buck stops with me. That is very, very clear. What was true of our city, but not.

[Rob Carson]

So it's her fault there. She said the buck stops with me. So I'm going to take responsibility here.

[Karen Bass]

Just our city, our region, our county was that we were not prepared because let me just tell. With climate change, we are experiencing climate events that Los Angeles is not prepared for.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, you always have fires. It happens every damned year. California is known for its disasters. The problem is you've made them much worse because you've refused a clear brush. You get rid of a scrub that's dry because you're afraid a weevil of some kind will die. Or something, Hell knows. Or maybe endangered poison ivy plant will die. It's your terrible, terrible, terrible mismanagement. Your awful, awful, awful rules and regulations for rebuilding and fire management. That's the reason why. And of course, not filling up reservoirs with water, making sure that there's plenty of water available to fight fires, diverting water from snowfall in the mountains into the ocean. I mean, I could go on and on about how stupid and how terrible you are. And this is why you're in such hot water right now as the mayor of Los Angeles, because you are an ultimate. You are as big a fail as you could possibly imagine. I mean, you couldn't imagine a bigger fail than what she did during. Before the fires, during the fires and after the fires. Absolute, absolute incompetence. And then you got the third most powerful person in la. She's Nitya Ramen. And not the good ramen. Not the good ramen, like the stuff you buy in the bowl at the store. And it's like three, four dollars. I'm talking the bad ramen, like the five for a dollar. It's been five for a dol. 1987. I know this. I was in college. But anyway, Niche Raman, all of a sudden when she's running for la, she was all, defund the police. Defund the police. Again, one of the dumbest things ever, ever, ever, ever, ever to be imagined by the Democrat Party. Get rid of and defund the police. I mean, yeah, right, dude, can we all agree? So completely stupid. I mean, everything about it failed. Caused death and destruction, and it's still resonating. And now she's all sudden cool with refunding the police when she's running for mayor.

[Nithya Raman]

I want to have an honest conversation about public safety. I want to make sure we're paying our city workforce well. I want to make sure we're maintaining our police force and expanding other kinds of responses to calls for help from people, but we can't do any of that if we are making political decisions about the city's budget instead of real decisions that will deliver real services for people.

[Interviewer]

So you no longer believe in defunding the police?

[Nithya Raman]

No.

[Interviewer]

And what caused you to change your mind?

[Rob Carson]

Maybe all the death that wasn't this death and destruction. It was that she's running for mayor and everybody knows that she screwed up.

[Nithya Raman]

You know, I think we need to be able to ensure that the city can respond to calls for service. And we have to make sure that we are able to respond. Respond to calls for help around public safety issues and I think in order to do that at this moment with our response system, we need to be able to maintain the size of our police force.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Whoa.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, if you ever entertained the concept of defunding the police because all the police were racist in 2000, the year 2020, you should never be able to be in elected office again. Or I mean, honestly, if you're that, if you were that stupid, if you would at that point in your life could make such an absurd and ignorant statement or endorse such an absolutely insane policy, you should never be able to be in public office again ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Because you caused the death of a lot of people. You caused the injury of a lot of police officers. I can go on and on. If you're that bloody stupid, you should never be allowed to run in the public office again in the state of California. Saturday, girls high school track and field championship Biological male dominated the competition. A.B. hermandez, biological male student, qualified at the Yarupa Valley High School in Riverside County. Qualified and competed. Ended up kicking butt in the long jump division three prelimp triple jump division by wide margins tied for first in the high jump division. And they had a little protest. Girls only sports had a little protest stating the obvious. And again another policy that if you are down with this boys competing as girls with girls then you should never be allowed in public office again.

[California Mother/Activist]

Gavin Newsom is a spineless bully to our daughters. He whispers it's unfair. Then rams boys into girls sports showers scholarships while smearing us moms and others that are fighting this as bigots and other names. He's actually trying to cause harm to those that are still speaking up because we've seen what those names have caused.

[Rob Carson]

People's lives, it's psychosexual abuse are being threatened.

[California Mother/Activist]

Our girls lives are being threatened. We have girls graduating early. Did you know that in Harupa Valley there's girls that had to graduate early because the bowling became so bad?

[Rob Carson]

That is horrible.

[California Mother/Activist]

They robbed those girls.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah. Unbelievable. The Democrat party, they say they're so pro woman. I can't think of anything less pro woman than pretending that boys can become girls. Mother's Day was yesterday. Moms are born with girl parts and have babies. Yeah. They menstruate and then they. They have babies. There's something glorious and wonderful about a mother. A mother. And the Democrat party whizzed on mothers and daughters and every female in America with this absurdity. Let's take a break and come back. Hillary Fordwich joins us next to talk about Keir Starmer going bye, bye. Don't go anywhere. 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, you send it back risk free. Ghostbed is currently having their Memorial Day sale plus an extra 10% off.

Well, breaking tonight, Secure Starmer looks set to resign as Prime Minister in this coming week. I know you've heard it all before, but we've seen huge speculation this evening that suggests the Prime Minister's time has indeed run out. West Streeting has told Secure Starmer that he is preparing his case to be the next Prime Minister. The Telegraph has indeed disclosed this evening former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has also posted on X this evening demanding that Starmer allows Andy Burnham to return to Westminster. She's also criticized a so called toxic culture in number 10.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, that is GB News, by the way, the Newsmax of Great Britain where Hillary Ford, which is a contributor also on Newsmax, as well as public speaker. I've been dying to talk to Hillary about this for days. Hillary Ford, which. Welcome to the Rob Carson Show.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Good afternoon. Smashing to be with you. Thank you for having me, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

All right, try to explain what's going on here. Starmers had been defeated pretty badly. I saw Nigel Farage was talking about the possibility of moving in to the position of Prime Minister. We heard other names mentioned here. What's going on and how is this going to come down?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, yes, there was an absolutely disastrous, what is referred to as a by election and a by election in the uk. I think the closest analogy is like it's like a midterm election here which is like a sort of interim election and they lost 1500 seats. And what's really important is just like in America we have places that are democratic strongholds. There are places in England that are really labor strongholds, like Wales. Wales have been voting for Labour for over 100 years, Rob, and they lost Wales. The head of the Labour Party in Wales lost her seat. This was catastrophic. Basically the vote is saying, the public is saying we don't want Keir Starmer, we don't want Labor. They projected the job losses this year. The unemployment, the state of the economy is disastrous and they want him out.

[Rob Carson]

So who's going to replace him if he goes? And where is Nigel Farage in all of this?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, that's a good question. There are a couple of people that are sort of in the running. Wes Streaking is a former Secretary of Health and Social Care. He's one of the front runners and he's basically, basically viewed as people sort of say boring but dependable, sort of like your solid civil servant type. Angela Wehner, she's a former Deputy Prime Minister. She was the Secretary for State, I think it was state housing and commercial local governments. But she has her own issues because actually it's considered quite funny in the uk She's Secretary of Housing and yet she had a second and third property and she wasn't declaring her taxes and blamed it on an accountant. So she's got her own kind of

[Rob Carson]

scandal, kind of like the Ilhan Omar of Great Britain.

[Hillary Fordwich]

That's a very good point. Very good, very good. I like that analogy. You're up on your politics, you know

[Rob Carson]

what you're talking about.

[Hillary Fordwich]

And the other candidate that has been very popular mayor is the mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, who interestingly enough, actually Zakir Starmer tried to block being able to run. So now to answer your question in a nutshell, those are the sort of the front runners. So where does Nigel Farage stand in this and what's going to happen? Well, there was a lady who was a former minister, her name is Catherine west, she actually came out over the weekend and she actually has, and I don't mean to sound too graphic, but more balls than most men seem to have because she actually came out and said that she is going to force a vote for the leadership of the party. I mean, very strong on her part. And so it looks like most people are saying now, I'm not predicting this but I'm saying just generally people say that he really, we can't see him maintaining his leadership until the end of the week. Like, is he going to even last week now, what happened, what happened today? And then I'll answer the Nigel Farge thing be done. What happened today was Zakir Starman delivered a speech which was supposed to be his, like speech of salvation for himself and his party. And basically it wasn't, it was wishy washy, it wasn't authentic, it was not received well and it was more of we're going to do this and that. Well, he's been in power since 24 and he hasn't done this and that. And now to answer your question, Nigel Farage, he swept the local, what I mentioned by elections, like, kind of like our midterms, he swept those, they won so many seats. He's looking very good. The actual next election in the uk, if there isn't a national election call beforehand would be in 29, so we're now in 26. It's a couple of years off, but an election could be called at any time.

[Rob Carson]

I understand that there were going to be some massive protests in Great Britain against Starmer and the, the New World Order class there put together by Tommy Robinson and it looks like Starmer and I think this is going to blow up in his face big time. Is talking about censoring them, not allowing them to come into the country. I think this is lighting a. Throwing gasoline on an already burning fire. What are your thoughts on this?

[Hillary Fordwich]

You're absolutely right because. Well, one thing that I can tell you that most British people pride themselves on is being the bastion of free speech. You know, I mean most and actually it Was, you know, King Charles reminded everybody that, you know, so many of what we consider on our fundamental American values were based on English common law, were based on English freedom of speech, were based on what the British had established. And what happened at Ronny Mead, the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is mentioned by the Supreme Court literally on a daily basis. And freedom of speech. So this is literally the core of British values. And you're totally and utterly right. It's kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back or you're right, throwing gasoline on an otherwise already lit fire.

[Rob Carson]

There's a lot of similar dynamics. I mean, this is a globalist cabal that are doing the same things in countries around the world. The United States obviously absolutely mirrors what's going on. I would venture to say when you look at the state of California, the leadership of the state, the leadership of the city of la, that same sort of dynamic, you've got people who've allowed open borders, who have allowed the descent of the culture in the pits of hell, loading illegals up with, with largesse to ensure their slavish dedication to a certain party. This is all the same crap that has been happening all over the country. It sounds like it's beginning to be turned on its heels here. Do you suppose that it is being turned on its heels in Great Britain and in all of Europe?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, actually, that's a very good point. I think what you're seeing is, and you just mentioned it's all over the globe and that's why I believe it is called the. Referred to as the globalist agenda.

[Jim Gossett]

Yes.

[Hillary Fordwich]

What we're seeing across Europe. Let me get to the Europe for the uk. What we're seeing across Europe is left, left leaning politicians losing and right, more leaning politicians doing very well and the electorate is. You're totally and utterly right. I think the thing with immigration is that it's the dilution of one's national culture.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Things that, things that have been celebrated and treasured for hundreds of years. For example, just give one tangible example in Germany, yet another one of these terrible situations where a car ran into people in a street scene. And the Christmas markets, they don't hold the Christmas markets anymore. They had to close down Christmas markets in Germany. Christmas has been celebrated in Germany for hundreds and hundreds of years. So I think that's what it is. It's the dilution of a natural cultural identity. So now, yes, you're seeing it across Europe, you're seeing it in the uk and I will say this, I think President Trump has been a source of hope and inspiration for the rest of the world, particularly probably most importantly of all of his successful policies, probably more than anything, what he did with the southern border, that we went from hundreds and then thousands of people crossing on a daily basis to basically zero under the Biden administration. They said it couldn't even, wasn't even possible. And President Trump came in and did that. And I think that the Europeans and the British are very savvy in terms of watching what President Trump, Trump has accomplished. And they want the same thing. You're right.

[Rob Carson]

All right, we've got more I want to cover with you. On the other side of the break, Hillary Ford, which by the way, Hillary Ford, which on Twitter. Let's continue the conversation after this. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Rob Carson for Relief Factor.

[Ben Leo]

Britain just went full maga. Nigel Farage is storming through Great Britain tonight like Trump through the Rust Belt. The elites have hate it, the media mocks it and the establishment parties panic every time he opens his mouth. Well, if it sounds familiar, reforms exploding, the Conservatives are collapsing, labor hemorrhaging support. But let's be clear about this. This isn't voters simply sending a message. It's political realignment. Because what Nigel Farage appears to be building looks pretty similar to what Donald Trump built here in America, an insurgent movement fueled by voters who believe the political, political class has ignored them for years. And by golly, haven't they, they've been ignored. Look at the pattern. Working class frustration, migration anxiety, economic anger, cultural resentment and total contempt. Maybe this is the most important point. Total contempt for establishment politicians.

[Rob Carson]

100%. Oh, my goodness, it mirrors what's happening here. And I would just love to see somehow Nigel Farage becoming the prime minister of Great Britain. I think he is the guy who could save the country like Donald Trump has saved the United States of America. What do you think? What do you think, Hillary Ford, which.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Oh, yes, Rob, I think that you're absolutely right. And if I could just make a point, I'll come back to that, but just make a point about what we just heard. That was Ben Leo. I always have the pleasure of being on with him on TV news Saturday night, every other Saturday night and every other Wednesday night. But what's important that's happened. I mentioned earlier that the Labour government has lost Wales, which has been a Labour stronghold for 100 years. And what we're seeing is the same. Exactly that. To your point, we're seeing here in the us, which is the party in the US that was for labor unions, for the worker, the working man, the Democratic Party. The labor unions here came out for President Trump. Why? Because he actually was speaking to the American people, American jobs and not putting illegal first. And what's happening in the uk, just like the us, hard working class people, tradespeople, people that get up every day. And in England, I think Nigel Farage has come up with a very good phrase. He's called the alarm clock. People like people that get up to an alarm, go to work again, on sitting around at home for benefits. They're seeing their people brought into their neighborhoods, given free housing, free food, illegals. They're not even following the law. So what you have are these global elites that are displacing local populations. And so these global elites don't respect the labor, in other words, Labor Party, but labor of the tradespeople. Just like here in America, where you are seeing this change in parties because it's people wanting this elitist agenda, which is borderless illegals replacing cultures.

[Rob Carson]

Have they. Have they tried to take down Farage like they have Trump? I mean, I know he's faced headwinds. In fact, I met you when we. When I met Nigel Farage, by the way, that was the first time I met you. What have they done? How's the media on him? Are they as bad on him as they are on Trump and also the political class?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Oh, yes. In fact, they found something that he said at a school, at a schoolboy in school that one of his said, and they tried to hold that against him. And then now that he bringing up the fact that he was given £5 million by a crypto, I think he's from South Korea, some kind of crypto magnet for his own security. To your point, are they trying to take him out for his own family? Security. He was in like a country pub somewhere just with his family many years ago before he was running even for office. But because he was so pro Brexit and he was being shouted out of the problem so that he took this money for. He wasn't even in office. He wasn't running at the time. He did not have to declare it. And now they're using that against him as if it's some kind of, you know, soft money and as if he's some kind of crook. So they're probably going to try to do all the things as they did here. No, no pun intended. Trumped up charges against President Trump, like the Russia, Russia Gate, etc. And what I will say about this is Nigel Perez and this is what he and Donald Trump have in, in common. And what I really respect, like Ronald Reagan, the politicians that succeed and go down in history are those with what I refer to and we know as the true North Star. Nigel Farage really believes it's the, one of the many, many issues with Starmer is he doesn't have any moral compass. He'll go with the wind. He, he doesn't really, doesn't really care. He doesn't seem to actually even care about what happens to Great Britain. Nigel Farage, he was pictured just recently belting out and singing Rule Britannia, which would like, be in America, singing America the Beautiful. Like he loves his country, he wants to save the country. And that is what I think. It's that authenticity, that dedication to his North Star that the voters want.

[Rob Carson]

Very much like Margaret Thatcher. When I heard him speak, it was a delight because he doesn't really give a damn what other people think. I remember he stood at the podium when we were seeing him and he says, some people will say I am a drinker. Some people will say I'm a womanizer. Some people will say I use coarse language. And to that I would say, of course, it was like, yes, I love this guy. I love this guy.

[Hillary Fordwich]

That was a pretty good impression there, Robert. Like that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, I, I, I just, I am, I have a kinship with the British, I think. I've told you this. I got my DNA test and I always thought I was Irish, English or German. It turns out I am English, Irish and German, so a lot of English.

[Hillary Fordwich]

There you go.

[Rob Carson]

But I've, but I've always felt a kinship with, with the British and I thought the visit by the King was a much needed exercise. It was a glorious recommitment to one another and I'm energized by this election and Keir Starmer getting his teeth kicked in. And I just wish Great Britain Godspeed.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, I do. The only thing that I think is such a pity though, Rob, is I wish we could get aligned like you just brought up Margaret Thatcher like we had, you know, Maggie and Ronnie, how they got along. Margaret Thatcher and Margaret got along so well and they were able to form a very strong alliance together. The sad thing will be probably most likely by the time that Nigel Farage probably, probably is Prime Minister More like 28 or 29, we won't have President Trump. Let's hope we have Marco Rubio or another great Republican. We maintain the Republican. But that we need that. I personally just think we need that alignment, that transatlantic alignment, because we can be a force for safety, for security, for good and for trade and business in this world.

[Rob Carson]

Very good. All right, listen, we gotta run Hillary Fordwich on Twitter. It's 1L by the way. Hillaryfordwich Wich on Twitter anywhere else people can see your glorious work.

[Jim Gossett]

[Rob Carson]

That is Jim Gossett. Patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy Another great standard. Let's take a break and come back. This. This is the Rob Carson Show. How often you get a $10,000 rebate on anything? You ever had a $10,000 rebate? Neither have I and I don't think I've ever really had $10,000 on hand anyway. Right now is a good time to buy gold. Supply constraints on commodities cause prices to surge. We see this with oil. If you get a freeze in the orange groves price. Orange juice goes through the ceiling. If you get in the Midwest, the price of wheat goes up or the cost of corn goes up, or soybeans or whatever. Gold is a commodity. They mine it out of the ground. When it's gone, it's gone. Governments can't print more of it, so if they're buying it, it's more rare. Consequently, it goes up in value. And you should have some in your portfolio if you're thinking about moving some of your savings into physical gold. Birch Gold is the group that I trust because they've got my money. They got my money. I get a little nice little statement every month, tell them where it is and all that. Now through May 29th, Birch Gold offering. First time gold buyers will rebate up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. $10,000. For details and free information on diversifying into gold, text Rob to the number 989-898. That's Rob to 9,898. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401K into physical gold. Physical gold. Physical gold. Text Rob to the number 989-898 to see if you qualify. First time gold buyer rebate up to $10,000. Again, text my name, Rob to 989898. I really don't have time to play any audio or anything before I go, man. I've kind of covered most of it today actually. I've kind of. This is probably one of those days that I. I actually got to almost all of the things that I was going to cover. Sometimes I don't. If you get a chance to check out the podcast though, I'll tell you this. The podcast was really taken off. I moved to Washington D.C. now about nine months ago and we went from not on the radar to number 10 in the country a couple weeks ago for political commentary. So a lot of people are listening to the podcast. We take this show every day, remove the commercials, put it into three separate podcasts every day on your usual podcast platform. Spotify, Apple, itunes, all these, it's all over the place. So go to your usual podcast platforms and if you would, for instance on Spotify, just ring the little bell there and subscribe wherever it is and share it with other people because it's growing. And this is the only show in America that is doing leading edge opinion. We're way out in front of a lot of people on the opinion, but we also do and make a point with humor whenever possible. Yeoman's effort by Ken and everybody producing today with a great lineup of guests. Redneck MacGyver, you kick ass, bro. Did a great job. Brian, you too in Ballmer. You're the best brother. God bless you. America's founder Donald Trump doing a great job as president. Our military is kicking Iran's army arse and until tomorrow, which is Tuesday, do not catch the stupid. I'll see you then.
