The episode kicks off with Rob Carson touting his unique blend of political insight, entertainment, and humor, setting the tone for a show that isn't just about politics but also culture and life. The key theme: standing firm against what Rob calls the “craziness” in American politics, particularly radical leftism and its approach to issues such as property rights, race, criminal justice, and 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. Have I provoked any thoughts today? I'm just asking if I have I provoked any thoughts today? I have a feeling I may have provoked a few thoughts today. Ah, it's. It's already Thursday. Thursday. Yay. Thursday. Thursday, Thursday. We have much to get to before the end of the radio program and the live stream I should say as well. It's not just radio, it's livestream. We're on radio stations around the country. Some great affiliate stations around the country. 4 glorious Benning Media radio stations in New Hampshire talked to Jack Heath today. He's the the morning mayor there in Concord. Concord is a lovely little town by the way. Lovely little town. I would love to go up again if you guys are listening at Benny Media. How about you invite me up? I'd love to come up. I'll even pay for my own hotel room. Anyway, KSCO in in lovely Santa Cruz. WGMD and Rehoboth beach. We've got them all over the place. KBQ and Albuquerque. Thank you so much for being a part of. We got the station North Dakota in Georgia and others and hopefully adding more affiliates as we as we grow here. The The, Obviously, The. The. The number of radio stations is growing. It's. It's kind of a tough road to hoe when you've got a lot of other syndicated hosts out there who already had their foot in the door, right? And oddly enough, this is my second job in talk radio, okay? And so, believe it or not, despite my. My age, I'm a fresh voice in talk radio. And a lot of people have been in it forever. You know, Sean Hannity's been it forever. Glenn Beck's been in it forever. Rob Carson comes along, and those guys have already got the slots. We're working on it. We're working on it. The positive is there's nobody who does a show like me. So, you know, we like to use humor when we make a point, like to entertain, inform, motivate people to do good, those kind of things. And then, of course, not just talk politics all the time. One of the. One of the things that bothered me the most with. With. With Rush and how he was kind of pigeonholed to some degree. He started out as an entertainer like me in music radio. He was a music jock. I was a morning radio personality. And. And so this was. Sometimes people say, well, you kind of sound like it. Well, when you are an entertainer, you. You. You project as one. So I'm not trying to mimic Rush Limbaugh. It's just this is kind of how we sound. And, and one of the things that Rush, he. He was kind of pigeonholed, and whenever he would stray outside of politics, people would shriek and say, stick to the issues. Stick to the issues. And listen, the issues are really important. The issues are. And I think I do a pretty darn. I covered this Covid and all. There's nothing in the Anthony Fauci holding. I covered pretty well. I mean, really, really well. But occasionally, you know, I like to. I like to go outside of the. The realm of just politics and do other things. It's just the way it is. So that's what makes a difference. That's why the show is growing. That's why the livestream is growing. That's why the podcast went from Nowhere to Number 10 Political Commentary Podcast in America just a couple months ago. I'm not sure where we are right now, but it's right up there, and you guys have done it, so it obviously is resonating with. With many of you. And like I said, we're just beginning. We are just beginning. I did post a new video of the. The studio here that I. At Newsmax. I've still got a few things I need to do. Got the neon sign in the window behind frosted glass. It looks cool as hell. Go to all of my social media at Rob Carson show if you'd like to see it. That would be cool. So I don't know this, but Zora Mandami is a communist. And I didn't talk about this, but he decided to publish the names and addresses of all property owners potentially affected by his pied terre tax, which is a tax on just. Just because people have a second home, they don't live in full time in New York and it's worth more than $5 million. They just decide to tax it for bleeps and giggles, because they can. And then he doxed the homeowners and he sent these menacing letters, notification letters to people reminding them that the tax would be implemented soon and to check your mailbox. This is scary. Bleep here.

[Evan Barker]

All right?

[Rob Carson]

This is vicious, vindictive, and awful. And if I had a home in New York City, I'd say, stick it, stick it. I'm out of here. You. You vicious little man, you. You ridiculous human being. And. And then the other day, he said you could protest. He's sending a message, by the way. Let me tell you this. The other day he said that he wants people to get out and protest when Bibi Netanyahu is in New York in September, which is a dog whistle for violence, for radical Islam and the left. It is. Don't. As Rush would say, don't doubt me. It's a dog whistle. And then he's talking about the pied inter tax and publishing all of the names and addresses. I think it's kind of funny because one of them is Cynthia Nixon from Sex and the City, who's just an idiot, first of all, and a sycophantic leftist who loves Zoran. Her name and address, she's a celebrity. You're not supposed to do that. Was published in this list. And do you know why? Because they want to do the same thing they did to the billionaire. I'm drawing a blank on his name. When. When Zoran stood out in front of his condo, his $200 million condo, and said, we're going to tax the rich right here. There you go. Because he wants people to go there. He wants to target these people. There is no doubt about it. I think one of the bedrocks of

[John Fetterman]

our city is protest.

[Rob Carson]

It is something that has been a

[John Fetterman]

part of what makes our city so special.

[Rob Carson]

That New Yorker. No, not. Not really. No. It's Actually, the pizza bagels, you know, tall buildings, scenery, it's kind of cool. Can express themselves whether they are in support or in opposition, no matter on whatever topic.

[John Fetterman]

Protests. The city runs on capitalism, cocktails.

[Rob Carson]

It's ridiculous. He wants people to go to these homes and threaten these people. He wants to them to live in fear because they're the rich. They are the rich that we've heard so much about. I had a soundbite from Ted Cruz about Marxist doxing of Zoran Mandami. I mean, by Zoran Mandami, this is

[John Fetterman]

who the communists are. And the word communist sounds jarring, but. But that is who these people are. Mandami is not a socialist. He is a Marxist. He's a full on communist. The, the DSA candidates that he supported that won in New York are full on communists. The DSA candidates who won in Colorado are full on communist. And look, as you know, my family has seen this firsthand. My father was imprisoned and tortured in Cuba as a teenager. My theosonia was imprisoned and tortured by Fidel Castro. This can happen. And this is part and parcel of the strategy. It is identify the people you hate.

[Rob Carson]

Yep.

[John Fetterman]

And then harass them, threaten them. And violence is part of the plan. That, that's not a bug, it is a feature. It is the objective.

[Rob Carson]

Homeboys, hillbillies, Hebrews. There may be a point where we have to, we have to end this nonsense in a defensive fashion. Not an offensive fashion, but in a defensive fashion because these people are bananas. They want to get rid of the Senate, they want to get rid of the highway, elect the president, they want to get rid of the border, they want to get prison, get rid of prisons, they want to get rid of the military. And the only thing they're going to understand is getting their rear ends kicked up between their shoulders. So there you go. Former Democrat Party activist has been making the rounds. Evan Barker, a young woman who used to be an activist fundraiser for the Democrat Party. She left the party in 2024 after the. Because she had raised a lot of money for the party over the years. She had a chance to rub elbows from the most powerful people. A few years ago, she was at an event at the home of a billionaire, Tom Steyer, that kind of changed her mind. Here is Evan Barker talking to Rob Schmidt on Newsmax last night.

[Evan Barker]

I was actually on the lawn of Tom Steyer's mansion in San Francisco when he brought out his new director of his organization. And her mission that cycle was to spend 60, 60 million dollars to help the Democrats and She literally announced, and I write this in my book, Nothing Left. She literally announced to the crowd of these extremely rich white people clapping at her every word like drunken seals that we would not be getting those voters back, that they were gone and there was no point. And that the future was going to be young people and young people of

[John Fetterman]

color because they don't want to abandon this crazy platform that they've taken on. And you can't get those voters if

[Evan Barker]

you're going to have.

[John Fetterman]

If you're going to be.

[Evan Barker]

Exactly. They refuse to moderate.

[Guest Commentator]

I mean.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. In 2024, in an op ed for New Newsweek, she expanded on why she became disenchanted with the Democrat Party. She's got this book called Nothing Left, Confessions of a Democrat Operative. One of the things is that they want to vilify men, particularly whiteness and maleness. That's what they want to do. That's what they have been doing here. Is Evan Barker talking about that.

[John Fetterman]

Is it the donors that are Dr. Driving this craziness?

[Evan Barker]

It's a combination of the donors and the consultants. I would see the craziest things behind the scenes. It is so much worse than you can ever imagine. The public doesn't know this, but George Soros, his organization actually put out a directive around 20, 20, 2021 that said that they were only going to donate to organizations led by non white leaders. Five years. Yeah, I, I personally, it's really didn't get jobs because of this policy. Organizations were terrified of losing their funding. It completely changed the leap. It completely changed the leadership class in the Democratic Party.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it's, it's utterly ridiculous. I love to see people get fed without whitey. Sorry. I mean a good share of the farming is done by white people. I mean not saying that all, you know, whatever, but there's a lot. I'm really tired of just white people. Just, just because I, I'm supposedly white. What am I white really? No. My daughter says that my complexion looks like that of a Papa John's cheese pizza. Kind of that orangey. Here is Evan Barker on the elites that want the police defunded. This is this self loathing of the Democrat party. These are like, these are like LGBTQ for Hamas.

[Evan Barker]

And I noticed that a lot of the people that orbited the social justice, especially the defund the police movement were very wealthy and did come from backgrounds that allowed them to sort of sequester themselves, gated communities from the reality that many of these policies actually caused. And I write about this later in

[Rob Carson]

the book that's why they want to get rid of the prisons and stuff. They don't care. The rapists aren't going to come to their gated neighborhood.

[Evan Barker]

But I didn't realize the damage that had been done through these policies until I lived in San Francisco where they.

[Rob Carson]

They don't see the trafficked children and women toddlers.

[Evan Barker]

And every time I'd go to the CVS to get him medication, everything was locked up. I'd walk down the street, I'd pass by homeless people, pass out on the sidewalk. There'd be homeless people at the playground. My car was broken into four times. My garage was burglarized. I was, like, physically assaulted once just walking down the street by some random guy. Like, you know, this is sort of like this all happened in under a year. And so.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Yeah, yeah.

[Evan Barker]

No, but it's like it was. It was.

[Rob Carson]

They're nuts. They're nuts. On the other side of the break, new poll out about what Democrats think of Republicans and what Republicans think about Democrats. And they have really, really been brainwashed. I mean, there's a reason why your relatives and friends don't talk to you anymore because they have literally been brainwashed. That's up. And then John Fetterman drops the bomb on the Democrat socialists of America. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This isn't the end of a fight. It's the start of one. Lioness, the critically acclaimed original series from Taylor Sheridan, returns August 2nd only on Paramount. Plus, it's the new season. Hidden networks, foreign operatives and personal betrayals collide while Joe walks the line between duty and family. Don't miss Lioness, starring Zoe Saldana, Michael Kelly, with Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. Streaming August 2nd only on parallel. Plus,

[Guest Commentator]

we have to beat them electorally, and then we have to break their spirit, and then we're gonna crush their soul. Oh, really?

[Rob Carson]

You and what army? Yeah, you see, you can't do that because we haven't sold ours. There you go. Yeah. When the Levy Breaks, one of the great songs Led Zeppelin reinvented. The thing about Led Zeppelin, you know, a lot of people say Led Zeppelin stole the music of the blues, you know, and Elvis Presley stole the music of the blues. No, they didn't. They paid tribute to it. They paid tribute to it. When the Levee Breaks is an old song. Robert Plant looked at the the music of the blues in the 1920s and 30s performed by Black musicians in the south, like Robert Johnson, although very few recordings of Robert Johnson exist. And they looked at these and they listened to them and when they went wow. And they went wow. And they put their own spin on them. Elvis Presley did the same thing with blues and gospel and what's called rocket building. So there. And country. So there you go. A little music lesson for you. Love music. Love me some music. Oh my God in heaven, I love me some music. You wonder why your some of your relatives don't talk to you anymore? I was talking to a friend of mine and his name's Scott and he is the relative blood brother of a person who was one of the friends that we had in Maryland for a dozen years when we lived here. And they had these friends and we'd go to their home for crab feasts and every night, I mean like five nights a week we had dinner together for, for 12 years and, and we'd go play, you know, a quiddler card game and we'd have pool parties and all this New Year's Eve, every New Year's. And they won't talk to me anymore. None of them will talk to me anymore because of politics and my affiliation with MAGA and Donald Trump and, and my friend Scott, his sister is one of the couples that no longer have any. And by the way, this Scott sister, her husband was my best friend for years. Won't talk to me anymore. Said he never wants to have me in his house again. That's fine. I got over that. It took a while. It took a while. It really did. It really did. I couldn't believe it really was happening. And then I realized f you. Honestly, honestly, wow. Not even worth my time. That said, now we kind of know why. Because the left Democrats have been demonizing us for 10 years. Joe Biden did a speech in front of Independence hall where he called us MAGA fascists and enemies of democracy. Donald Trump is a Nazi. Donald Trump is a white supremacist and therefore we are too right. And I am. I'm not going to suffer fools anymore. You, you call me a Nazi, you're going to get it. You're going to get it so bad in your face. You have no friggin idea how bad you're going to get it in your face. I'm not going to take it anymore. I'm not going to be called names anymore. Like this. But I want you to listen to this from Jesse Watt.

[John Fetterman]

Well, a former Democrat operative just came clean. It was common for us to call Republicans racist. Almost daily convincing each other that the alt right was absolutely terrible.

[Rob Carson]

I was talking about that Evan Barker was talking about earlier.

[John Fetterman]

Fine. A force that wanted to literally murder us. So Democrats really sit around convincing each other that Republicans want them dead. Yeah, and here's a study to prove it. Researchers asked each party to sketch the other one in their head. When Republicans pictured a Democrat, they drew a kid who won't grow up. Naive, irrational, immature. But when Democrats pictured a Republican, they drew a monster. Savage, barbaric, cold blooded killers. Basically, Republicans think Democrats are silly and Democrats hate Republicans to their core.

[Rob Carson]

I want you to think of me as your worst nightmare. How's that? Think of us as your worst nightmare because we're going to crush your Democrat socialist dreams because you are little spoiled children and you're going to get the spanking of a lifetime. Here's John Fetterman talking about the freaks of the dsa. And I got to tell you, the more I know John Fetterman, we'll disagree profoundly a lot of things, but I love stuff like this.

[Guest Commentator]

Do you see what these freaks are running on now? Abolish the Senate right here. Abolish the presidency. Abolish the border. Abolish prison and the presidency now. Like they're, they, they've never been Democrats now they're not even socialists. They're. They're more like communist. Overall. I've had a bunch of those crazies at my house this weekend protesting. You know, they could make up the mind. Is it Maduro? Free Venezuela? They had signs now for free Palestine and hands off of Cuba. Like I'm not sure what they're really protesting, but without a doubt they're just anti American people that are the useful idiots for the Republicans. Maybe like reconsider. Like we really want to win. Stop picking hot messes like that. Oh, it means that that puts that seat really, really in play. Absolutely.

[Rob Carson]

Talking about El Sayed in Michigan.

[Guest Commentator]

If he wins, that means there that would be a celebration over the GOP 100% now that he is a big target. And now he said a lot of outlandish things. So that would put that seat there and then makes it even more difficult for us to recapture the majority.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. And Harry, into. And I've got this. Let me find this longer video here. Intern talked about the. Hold on one second. The. The Democrat Party and how underwater they going into the midterms. Here is. Yeah, here we go. This is way down there.

[Guest Commentator]

Underwater.

[Rob Carson]

Take a look at this.

[John Fetterman]

Okay. The Democratic Party net favorability back in 2018. Back in 2018 when Democrats were able to take control of the House, they were actually on the plus side of the ledger, they were actually in positive territory at plus one point.

[Rob Carson]

Plus one.

[John Fetterman]

Look, now in 2026, we're not just talking down there underneath the Potomac. We're talking down there with the titanic. We're talking 24 points underwater.

And this is they are 24 points underwater going into the midterms and they think they're going to win with all the craziness, the DSA, all of that, which we rejected massively in 2024. And they're going further left, left, left, left, left. And they're 24 points underwater. I know we're going to win. You got to vote. We are soldiers in this. We are at war. Do not take your eye off the prize of winning. Keeping both houses of Congress and expanding our majorities. Coming up, Brigitte Gabriel on the other side of the break. Don't go anywhere.

We hope you'll be sharing your story to relieffactor.com or 800 for relief. In the meantime, we're going to be hitting them very hard because it's our term to hit them. They know it's coming. They're asking us not to do it. But you know, they tried shooting it last night. So we had five rocket shot going 8,500 miles an hour and all five rockets were knocked down to the ground, but they nevertheless took a shot. So it's our turn and we'll see if we get there with an agreement at some point. But we're going to hit them very hard. Yeah, hit him really hard. And I love it. I love it. And actually he said he's vowing to beat the effing ass out of them. Those are the kind of words I like to hear from our president when it comes to Iran. Find out if Brigitte Gabriel from actforamerica.org agrees. Hello, Brigitte. How are you today?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Hello, Rob. Delighted to be back with you.

[Rob Carson]

So it looks like Trump has kind of had enough, took a couple days off after 12 days of pounding the snot out of Iran. And he's doing it sounds like he's really taking the gloves off. What do you know and what are you hoping?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Well, I think President Trump was able to show the nation that Iran is really not an honest partner in negotiations towards peace. He can truly tell the world right now, we gave peace a chance. We gave negotiations every opportunity to work. We abided by whatever we had to abide by. But the Iranians refused to do that. And the Iranians refused to attack, refused to retaliate, continue to attack, continue to retaliate. And look, they attacked us in Jordan. They just attacked Egypt yesterday. So Iran is wrapping it up and President Trump is going, okay, that's how you want to play the game. We can play it even better. And we're going to come after you and we're going to crush you, and we don't care what anybody thinks or says. We're going to destroy you. And that's exactly what he is ramping up to do.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And I also saw, and I think this is pretty unprecedented, the US And Saudi Arabia carried out a joint action together. And some of the Arab states, the other Arab states are joining in. And I think that is great news. It shows a little bit of solidarity with moving forward away from the terror regime into making Iran a participant in commerce and maybe changing the face of the Middle East.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Correct. Because now the Arab state finally realize that America is truly moving forward without any chance of going back or stopping this war. And they realized, okay, now is the time for us to get involved and crush Iran once and for all. Remember, they have such rivalries with Iran, the Sunni war. Iran is the only Shiite major country in the Middle east and pretty much around the world, you know, the Shiites are only concentrated in Iran. There's a little bit in Iraq, a little bit in Syria, a little bit of Lebanon, and that's it. The rest of the Islamic world is Sunni. Iran has been trying to establish hegemony in the Middle east, which the Sunni states do not like, and they resent and they hate Iran for it. But they were not strong enough to fight Iran. Iran was building and developing nuclear weapons, and America did not Stop Iran under Obama or under Biden, finally, President Trump now is destroying that once and for all. So finally, Saudi Arabia, which is the biggest Islamic, most respected Sunni country in the Middle east, decided, okay, now we can join the fight. And along with Saudi Arabia now, the other Arab states that basically Iran has been bombing, trying to interfere with their oil transfer and oil production are saying, enough is enough. We've had it with you guys. We're going to come out and join the United States in destroying you. And that's the reason why Saudi Arabia felt confident enough yesterday to join America in this fight.

[Rob Carson]

Do you have any reservations about us giving Saudi Arabia technology to create nuclear energy?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Yes, I do. Because once you start going down this slippery slope, where is it going to stop? Where is it going to stop? I mean, right now the Saudis are our friends because Trump is their friend. And the king knows that President Trump is true ally and is a loyal ally of Saudi Arabia. But what happens after President Trump leaves the office? What type of administration we are going to have in the United States in 2035? We do not know that. The Saudis do not know that. Now we know that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, he is young. He's going to be the crown prince. He's going to be alive for the next 50 years. Maybe he's going to be the ruler of Saudi Arabia for the next 40, 50 years. So we know what we're going to get out of Saudi Arabia. What gives me comfort, as President Trump said again and again that the only reason he agreed to do that with the Saudis is because Saudi Arabia agreed to join the Abraham Accord and they are going to sign on the Abraham Accord, which gives Israel a little bit of peace of mind, knowing that once Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accord, which basically is the biggest gem, the biggest win for the Abraham Accord because of their stature, their wealth and their standing in the Middle east and their oil production as well. Once Saudi Arabia comes on board, the rest of the Islamic Sunni world will follow and having peace with Israel. And that would be the, you know, the comforting factor. Now, again, we can monitor Saudi Arabia. Obviously, there is a threshold to producing enriching uranium for energy. They can stop at that. And I believe that's the only reason why President Trump is allowing them to do that.

[Rob Carson]

I had heard from Michael Sharbon, who hosts the Charbonne Report, and he's our correspondent in in Canada, that there were some pro Iran, pro Trump protests beginning to happen. I haven't heard much about it. He seemed to have some insider knowledge on it that to me would say maybe they're thinking that a victory could be coming. Have you heard anything about this at all?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

You mean uprising of demonstrations in Iran or in Canada?

[Rob Carson]

No, I'm talking about in Canada, not demonstrate, just pro Iranian, not regime, but pro freedom from Iran and pro what Trump is doing sprouting up in Canada. That's what he said. And I tend to take his word for things because he is our, he's a respected journalist.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

There's I can tell you, I was speaking in Canada. I was a keynote speaker in Canada about two months ago in Toronto. And I spoke to the leaders of the business community. They had elected officials there and they were very pro Trump, very national security and very much disgusted with the leadership that they have right now in Canada because they can see that the result of all this, you know, cowering to the Islamists, bending over, not wanting to, you know, offend the Muslims or offend, you know, what I call acts of evil, is not working. It did not work. And I have to tell you, Rob, when I landed in Toronto, it was like landing in Bangladesh. My husband and I were absolutely flabbergasted to see the presence of Muslims in Toronto. I mean, we maybe saw, you know, maybe 5% white people and 95% were people with turbans and burqas from head to toe, face covering men in dresses over pants. I mean, we literally. It's like you landed in Afghanistan. Yeah. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it is a, it is a, it is a plan. I'm hoping we're going to be turning it on its heels. I got a few other things I want to cover on the other side of the break, including Zoran Mandami. The 25 people have signed a petition for him to not to attend the the 911 commemoration. Why? That's a big deal. Obviously. We'll cover that on the other side of the break. And again, It's act for America.org act for America.org Join this great organization. Brigitte Gabriel is ahead of it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson.

[John Fetterman]

just 12 hours after President Trump warned Iran would get a beating, US Forces launched heavy strikes against the regime. Dozens of targets were hit, including IRGC, military command centers, missile and drone launching positions, and the remaining maritime capabilities belonging to Iran. US Central Command released a statement saying CENTCOM forces successfully completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iran in response to yesterday's attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces. The strikes aim to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping and neighboring Gulf countries.

[Rob Carson]

I love the fact that these Iranian leaders are so arrogant and so I don't even understand. It's Brigitte Gabriel. You get your rear end handed to you and you just decide to poke a little bit more. What I mean, I love the fact they're this self destructive. I really do love the fact they're doing this. By the way, I would rather have them do this than us agree to some sort of an agreement that they'll break.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

What do you think they are fighting? A spiritual fight. We are fighting a physical fight. And those who fight the spiritual fight are willing to fight until their last breath because in their mind they're fighting for the afterlife. And that's the difference between where we're coming from fighting this war and where the IRGC and the Iranians are coming from fighting this war. And this is exactly why for them, as long as they are still alive and as long as they are still in the fight, they will continue fighting until the last breath. Well, we brag about, oh well, we defeated their military, we defeated their navy, we defeated this, we defeated that. We're tallying all the physical damage we did to them, but we did not break their spirit. For them, as long as we are still alive, they can destroy our navy, they can destroy our military, they can destroy our air force, they can destroy 90 million people in Iran. As long as there are 10 million people alive who believe they are fighting for the afterlife, they will continue fighting.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I suggest we give them, I suggest we give them a high speed rail pass to the afterlife. That's what I think. I think we ought to, we ought to give them a one way ticket.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

That's right. Send them one way ticket to Allah and maybe be blessed with the 70 versions who are waiting for them on the other side.

[Rob Carson]

And let me ask you how crazy they are. Your, your homeland is Lebanon, right?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Correct?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Country of birth. Yes. My home is the United States. My country of birth is Lebanon.

[Rob Carson]

Of course. Well, my country of birth is Iowa. But that said, how's it going kicking Hezbollah's rear end over there?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Well, they're not really succeeding that much because, you know, is so entrenched. And even the head of the military, the head of the Lebanese army is basically a Hezbollah sympathizer. And so this is very frustrating for the Christians in Lebanon who are saying not only we're fighting Hezbollah and the Shiites, we're fighting the Christian leaders who are in Hezbollah's pockets. And that's why it is taking longer to win this fight. This is exactly why they have not been able to disarm Hezbollah yet. This is why I am concerned about all this. Oh, we're gonna fund the Lebanese army and we're gonna support the Lebanese army. And you know, maybe I think right now what they are trying to do is basically set up a high intelligence unit, like a sophisticated equivalent to the Golani Brigade in Israel or like the NATO in the United States, a unit highly specialized to train a certain element of the Lebanese army that they can trust at vetting them and working with them to disarm Khazbollah. So maybe five years down the road we'll see progress, but I'm not holding my breath to see progress within the next six months.

[Rob Carson]

So my contention, and it's fairly obvious, is that Zoran Mandami wants to attend the 911 25th anniversary to plant the flag to, to assert some sort of victory over the infidel. That's why he wants to do it. He's an Islamist first. And 25,000 people have signed a petition to say, stay the hell away. I think this has really awakened people in New York City and they've had enough of this nonsense. And they see through what he's all this smiling jihadist. What are your thoughts on him attending and what could happen if he does?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Well, you know, I mean, what an insult. To the memory of those who died. To have an Islamist like him who sides with our enemies, perfect example. We go to war with Iran, we bomb the Iranian leadership. The second day, he comes out in mourning, you know, mourning the death of the ayatollah and the Iranians because his wife is a Shia. I mean, they are practicing Islamists. And so to have someone like that at a time of war, who sympathizes with their enemy, with our enemy, show up at such a solemn ceremony on 9 11, commemorating 911 in New York at the site of the most horrific attack on the United States, and have that jerk stand in there, you know, acting all sad and, you know, whatever, participating and whatever. It's an insult to the memory. Who died.

[Rob Carson]

Well, he's the one who says. He says free, free Palestine. Every other word he uses, free, free Palestine. The Palestinians. The Palestinians who handed out candy, who handed out candy to children on 9 11.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

That's right, the Palestinians. Exactly. They were celebrating. While we were mourning and crying, they were celebrating handing out candy like if it's a wedding. Celebrating the death of Americans, celebrating the attack on America. These are the guys that he is supporting. Again, he's loyalty. You know, my father, God bless his memory, taught me one thing. Actions speak louder than words. He always said to me, don't tell people how you feel. Show them how you feel with your actions. Because actions speak louder than words. And when you look at Mamdani, all you have to look is at his actions. It doesn't matter. Empty verbiage. He's trying to say, what we are watching is his actions. And his actions say, I sympathize and love all parts of America, Palestinians, Iranians, whatever, much more than I love America.

[Rob Carson]

All right, we've got to run. But I hope, literally, I hope that homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews show up at that rally and chase his rear end out of there. I mean it. Bull crap. We gotta surround the survivors, protect them from these people, these Islamists, and particularly him, and run his rear end out of the. He should not be allowed to be there.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

All right.

[Rob Carson]

I got something I haven't done in a while. Hold on, let me find it. It's a Don't Catch the stupid update. We haven't done a Don't catch the stupid update. For that, we need our don't catch the Stupid jingle.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. People, people, people, just plain stupid.

[Rob Carson]

Stupid ain't stupid, does it? Who got Stupid so interested? Chicago. They got a lot of massive crime growing, by the way. Incredible, gigantic numbers of crime growing on New York subways. But on the L in Chicago, there's a lot of violence going on. And what they've done to battle the violence is they're putting up signs that say don't commit acts of violence or get in real big trouble.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

We are putting up these signs as an indication of what the consequences will be. Criminal actions on the cta.

[Rob Carson]

We are hoping to deter crime and

[Brigitte Gabriel]

to encourage people to come forward in their witnesses.

[Rob Carson]

Over these signs are a message to

[John Fetterman]

all of our riders and employees that we are working together, the county state's

[Rob Carson]

attorney's office, to take action and ensure

[John Fetterman]

and promote a safe ride on the cta.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. So literally just putting up signs that do not commit acts of violence or you're going to get in really big trouble. Sure. Good luck with that. Good luck with that.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Just plain stupid.

[Rob Carson]

Stupid is stupid. Does Ms. Blue, who got stupid also, you know, stupid to have a good time. This James Talario who's running for Senate in the state of Teas. He's got this ad out here and. And it features him in a Dodge Ram pick him up truck. Here's the ad. Working hard across Texas, people are waking up before the sun. Working hard, stretching every dollar. I was born to one of those people. Yeah, I mean, notice he. He didn't say he was hard working. The only calluses he ever had on his hands was on his right hand in high school. A single mom guided by faith, who did whatever it took to provide for me as a teacher I saw playing guitar, families doing everything right and still falling behind in the state House. I brought both parties together to lower drug costs and cut property taxes. I'm James Talarico and I approve this message because I'll take on corruption and make this right. He'll take on corruption to slap it right in the face. To slap it or you'll hit it with a pillow. The truck was actually a rental. It was a rental. He. He drives, I guess they say he drives a Chevy Colorado. Okay, sure. Probably has a topper on it. On the back. On the back side. It's got a topper. Yeah, he had to rent a pickup truck. He's a manly man. Oh my God, what a friggin joke. The odds for him winning are like 40% versus Paxton. I think it's 60. Although polling says that he's had. Okay, sure. Right. God bless you. America's founded Donald Trump our military kicking Iran's rear end. And by the grace of God, tomorrow is Friday. In the meantime, don't catch the stupid. You're the best. I love you guys.
