Mary Walter
How great is it that like, well, yesterday was the first day of the new year, but like the first workday, the new year. It is a Friday. Fantastic. That's awesome. I'm Mary Walter in for Rob Carson. It's my last day of two weeks with you except for Monday when I went to go have my test, which I still don't know the results of because nobody's working this week. So I won't know till next week, you know, and you try to read it yourself. Do you do this? I don't know. Like so, so we have like, you know, it's called my chart and you get it and you can log in and it lets you know when there's a, when there's a, you know, two new test result or whatever. And so you look at it and then they have like the patient version. So click here and it translates it for you and you can look up what certain words mean, but it really doesn't tell you. You're just like, okay well, this. Okay, well, I know what that is and but it doesn't really help you figure out if you've got a problem or not. You just got to wait till the doctor sees it. So I know that maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday, the doctor will see it. And it is what it is. But we always want to know right away because now we can know right away. We have lost the ability to be patient and I kind of figure I can't change it. So it, you know. Oh, well, I'll just, you know, wait a couple of days and find out. So coming up this hour, of course, we have Tony Kennett will be joining us. You know, Tony, that's the usual Friday crowd and then my normal spot next hour is a quote unquote mystery guest. I think we all know who the mystery guest is going to be. It's going to be someone who just can't stay away and is here to warn us about what's coming next week in if I had to guess, I'll give you a hint. I think it's someone who decorates his condo like it's Austin Powers. And then last hour, Christian Toto will be joining us as well as usual. So that is fantastic. Okay. Just have a little bit of fun. You are more than welcome to join me. 8669-572874-86695. Patriot. Let's start out with 202025 and taking a look back. Old Lang Syne isn't what they call it. Old saying, old Langsai. Anyway, no one knows what that song means. But if you could sum up 2025 and one word, what would it be? One word to describe 2025. Now it could be your personal description of what you personally went through in 2025. It could be, you know, coming from the the country's point of view, what would it be if you had to describe it in one word? 8669-572874-86695 Patriot and if you can't join me on the phone, you can reach out to me on X at Mary Walter Radio.

I realize that's a big deal. It takes a lot of work for you to move the cursor over and hit the up arrow like that. Thumbs up like. But please do that. I would appreciate that. And subscribe. Subscribe, please. So one word to describe 2025. Now for me, I would say it was not. It was a roller coaster because I had some really great highs. Like, like, got to go. I got to go. I was invited to go to Israel as, as on a diplomatic mission. When I got the invite, I honestly thought it was a scam. I thought, wait, I'm going to click on this link or I'm going to call this number and this is going to be bs. It's going to be a total scam. And it wasn't. And it was just such an incredible opportunity and I'm so, so grateful for that opportunity and I really learned a lot and it really opened my eyes to a lot of things and it was just absolutely a life changing opportunity. It really was. And I was blasting that. At the end of it my husband decided to come over and he. We spent a week there being tourists and just getting to see just Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee. And I had gone through the old city of Jerusalem on it. We had four hours on tour with the, with the government when they weren't hauling us around to, you know, the Knesset and the presidential palace and all these other things. It wasn't work and that was fun. But we then went with a private tour guide and we really got to delve into all these different places and see them. And because there's no one there right now, because Americans are scared, we just walked into the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and just, we could just walk into all of these things that normally it takes hours in line waiting for. So that was such a blessing. And then work wise, I had another blessing. Not finalized yet, still waiting to sign the contracts. But you know, nothing happens between Thanksgiving and the end of the year. Nothing happens. So, so waiting for that. But when that happens, I'll let you know. So that's good. But everything else, I gotta tell you, it was kind of like a downer. We had two. We had started the year with three cats. We ended it with one. The baby, Our little baby cat passed away in March unexpectedly, obviously, because she was, you know, she was young. She was seven years old. Seven years and a couple months old. So that was awful and horrific and horrible. And it went fast. It was just unexpected, total whirlwind. And then our senior cat, which, you know, 18 years old, you know that that's a ticking time bomb. You know, that at any day, you know, we could come home and she'd just be gone. But that was a long, drawn out process and that was emotionally just, just devastating. And then, you know, people, aunts, uncles, friends who are older dying, because that's the circle of life. So. So for me, it was a roller coaster. Now, on a political level, man, how happy was I that I got invited to go to Washington D.C. to go inauguration inaugural gala with Newsmax? I mean, how incredible was that? The trip to Israel was via Newsmax as well. I mean, what a blessing to be able to do that. So Newsmax has been a great blessing in my life this year. And I'm politically, you know, Donald Trump being president. What a high, right? Like, what a high that is. It's so. So that's why I say, for me, 2025 was a roller coaster. Other people say chaos. When you look at the murder of Charlie Kirk and then people celebrating, seems like there's a lot of chaos. But that's how Trump's first presidency was marked, with a lot of chaos. And it's done purposely by the left. A lot of chaos, I think purposely set in motion by the left to make it seem like It's Trump's fault. 800-922-6680 is my number. 800-92266. You can reach out to me on X@MaryWalter radio. There's no S in that. If you want to join me, let's go to Mark in Baltimore. Mark, welcome. You're on the Rob Carson Show. Happy New Year.
- [09:42]
Mark (Caller)
Yes. First of all, good afternoon.
- [09:43]
Tony Kennett
Shalom.
- [09:44]
Mark (Caller)
Hope all is well and I'm happy that you had made the trip to Israel. I've been to Israel once in August of 2004. Hope to go again, hopefully as a permanent resident. So I'll make tally up, but you asked what the one word I would describe this past secular year. 2025, is that correct?
- [10:03]
Mary Walter
Yeah, the one word to describe 2025.
- [10:06]
Mark (Caller)
For us here in Oyva Kashmir vault world of the Jews world. It's anti Semitism. There are no words to describe any other words. I Could say we just had that war situation with Iran back in June, if you remember that between Iran and Israel. We want to thank the US for helping to take care of Iran in that situation. But with what happened in Australia and hate throughout the world and in this country against the Jewish nation and there's just too many examples. It's just so sad. And we believe in shalom and peace. And I'm glad you had the chance of visiting Israel and I hope a lot of people do. But right now we're just in the Jewish community. We're just very nervous. Do you get the sense when you were in Israel particularly, what do they think about the US Think about the anti Semitism? Did you get a chance to talk about that?
- [10:55]
Mary Walter
Yeah, we talked about it a lot, actually. We talked about it a lot. A lot of this mission was to the diplomatic mission. I get it. It was a of. It was propaganda. I get it. To propagandize us, to show us, you know, but, but what we saw, though, I didn't really view it as propaganda. We went to the site of the Nova Music Festival. That's not propaganda. It happened, right. We went to one of the kibbutzes that were literally on the boat, like right there with Gaza. You could see Gaza City in the background. We were right there. That, that happened. That was not propaganda. But one of the things that I said to them often when we were discussing about bringing the message back to the United States, first of all, they love America. When there was no one in is we were there in August, we were, we were within. We were one of the, we were one of the first flights back on an American based airline because they had stopped flying because of the war and they started re flying in August. We weren't the first ones back. No one, nobody there. They were so excited. And when they, we realized we were Americans, they were like, we love Trump. We love Trump. Trump's the best. There were signs everywhere about Trump. So they're very. They love America and they love Donald Trump. And I just had a lot of really unique opportunities without boring you with the people we met and that kind of thing. But I do think that there is a belief among especially like Herzog and others that Trump is the person to do this. Trump is the person to make this peace happen. And when I, one of the things I had often said when we were at the Knesset meeting with members of the Knesset, I said to them, I said, you don't have a problem with us, with us getting the message. You don't have to sell us. You have to sell American Jews in America, right? Because I know so many American Jews who are against Israel. They are not. They say, well, I'm an American Jew. I'm not an Israeli Jew. And I said, your problem is not with the media. Your problem is with Jews in America. If you can solve that problem, then, then you're going to have see the anti Semitism die down. I think you had. You had rabbis in New York City with photo ops with Mamdani to legitimize him. And that was horrific. I couldn't believe that was happening. But, you know, listen, I'm not. I'm not Jewish, so in some sense, I'm on the outside looking in. But I even said to them, I said, I'm Catholic and I find myself defending Israel to American Jews. And that's wrong. And Israel's got a problem with that. So.
- [13:23]
Mark (Caller)
Well, we appreciate your support and all for the Jewish nation, for Israel and for us and for worldwide and all that. I am very nervous about what happened in New York as of yesterday morning, January 1st. And I was expecting a great immigration flood to leave New York, but I don't know what has happened, so.
- [13:40]
Mary Walter
Oh, it will. It will. It's gonna happen. Mark, thank you so much for joining me. Shalom. Shalom. And the best in 2026 to you. Here's the thing. They are going to leave New York in droves. They already started. They did it during. So I live in the People's Socialist Republic of New Jersey, and I'm old enough to remember when it was a red state. It wasn't that long ago, but I remember when it was a red state. And they came flying out of New York during Dinkins, and then they came again, a huge onslaught during COVID and now it's going to be even worse. And they are turning. They turn New Jersey purple and then blue, and now they're going to turn it pinko because we're going to be a bunch of communists. So they're locusts. Liberals are locusts, and they never connect their vote with the outcome. All right, we've got a lot to talk about. If you want to jump in here throughout the show, your one word to describe 2025. I'll be taking that throughout the show here. I'm Mary Walter. You're listening to the Rob Carson Show.
- [14:45]
Tony Kennett
The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details.
- [15:01]
Mary Walter
Oh, boy. All right. I'm gonna miss you guys. I really am. I'm truly going to miss you. Rob's music I'm not going to miss. Sorry. All right, so we're talking about the one word that, you know, describes 2025 for you and I, I thought this was. We just got a lot of. I have a lot of news, but I also have some things for the end of the year as well. In 1998, Bill Clinton was facing impeachment hearings. Titanic, the movie, was cleaning up at the Oscars. Most homes still had landlines. And in 1980, 98, 1998, Gallup and USA Today called up over a thousand Americans on those landlines and asked them for their best predictions about the year 2025. And here's what they came up with. The majority, 75% said there will have been an emergence of a deadly new disease. 74% said gay marriages will be commonplace. 69% said the country will have a black president. 68% said physician assisted suicide will be commonplace. Not commonplace, but we just talked before New Year's about Kathy Hochul in New York with the assisted suicide bill. But is it met aid in dying? It's called maid and they do have some restrictions on it, but camel's nose under the tent. It's going to be like Canada where, sorry, but you know, you're too old for a heart transplant but will help you die early if you're in pain or you don't want to keep going the way you're going. You know, when we ration care with government run health care, which happens in every single country that has government run health care, certain things are rationed, but we'll help you end it all. An environmental catastrophe will have occurred. 67% said that. I don't think that that's happened. Did I miss something? An environmental catastrophe? I don't know, like Yellowstone hasn't erupted. I don't know the country will have elected a woman president. 66% said that they got that wrong. Illicit drug use such as marijuana and cocaine will be commonplace. 64%, I will say for marijuana, very commonplace. Very commonplace. You know, the younger generation, Gen Z is not drinking anymore. They are, they're not. Alcohol is not their thing. Gummies, however, they're down with that. So I guess every generation has its thing. 61% said that people will routinely live to be a hundred years old. And it's not routine, but there are a lot of people who live to be over 100. My husband's great aunt lived to be 170. But I'll tell you, that sounds great and all, but that poor woman, like, thank God, she had the ability and the means to have nurses with her 24, 7. And she got to stay in her, her home in her little senior community. But when we would go visit her, she used to say all the time, all my friends are dead. And she had all her marbles too. She and her sisters were doing the New York Times crossword puzzle and they were all in their hundreds. So she had it all together mentally, physically. Her body had given out. And it was really sad to hear her say, all my friends are dead. I think God forgot me. She was kind of sad. It was, it was a somewhat sad existence. Is that day after day was the same thing day in and day out. So I don't know about that 11 to 100 thing. AIDS will be cured, which it's not cured, but it's. You now have treatments that allow you to live somewhat of a normal life. Cancer will be cured. 59% thought that. Yeah, no, let's see. 56% said most stores will be replaced by shopping on the Internet. That's pretty much true. 52% said most people will do their jobs from home. I like that. United States will be involved in a full scale war. 51% thankfully that has not come to pass yet. We ain't done. All right. Less likely to happen in 2025. They said cars will be, will largely be replaced by mass transportation. 60% said that is not going to happen. The country is just so big. You know, it's funny my friends from, from England when they'll say, well, how far is your brother from your house? I'm like, it was about an hour. Like we, they, we don't measure thing in distance, we measure it in time because a lot of it is traffic and that kind of thing. But we're such a driving society. You have to have a car in most places. You know, if you're in Manhattan, you don't need a car. But if you ever want to leave Manhattan, then you got to take the train and then you got to Uber it or whatever it is. They also said cloning of humans will be commonplace. They disagreed with that. They said that is not going to be commonplace. 60% I can't believe it wasn't higher. 65% disagree with the statement that most people will be self employed. Yeah, space travel will be common for ordinary Americans. 69% said, no, that's not going to be happening by 2020. And humans will have made or received contact with alien life form. 69% said, no, that will not have happened either. And they were Right on that. Okay. Coming up, we have the one and only Tony Kennett will be joining us here. We'll talk to him about some news, some things that are going on with Tony Kennett next hour, a surprise guest in my usual time slot. And then we end the show as always with Christian Toto on a Friday. So don't go anywhere. Full show coming up here on the Rob Carson show.

Mary Walter
This is different. It's a little different. Doesn't give me a headache. Must not be one of Rob's choices. I'm Mary Walter sitting in for Rob Carson. He's back with you on Monday. Guess who I get to talk to now that I'm very excited? On the Newsmax hotline, it is Tony Kennett, investigative columnist with the Daily Signal. You can find him on X at the tonus T o N U S And I consider him a friend. Tony, welcome to the Rob Carson Show.
- [23:10]
Tony Kennett
Hello, Mary. It's always good to be with Rob Carson. It's always great to be with you. Don't tell him I said that.
- [23:17]
Mary Walter
Why do I think he's listening to the radio today just so he could hear everything. Like, because he so wants to come back that he can't help himself. You know exactly what he's doing. Right.
- [23:26]
Tony Kennett
Do you know how many angry things he has texted me about Zoran Mandani already? And it is 12:36pm Eastern.
- [23:35]
Mary Walter
Yeah, he, he texted all of us, Yumi and, and Christian Toto a video this morning. And I'm like, oh, he's back from vacation.
- [23:46]
Tony Kennett
Ready to go. And I tell you what, I may be the only guy, maybe just because I'm from Indiana. Go Hoosiers. But I am having the best 26 on planet Earth. The Democrats are setting themselves on fire. Alabama's gone. Ohio State's gone. Praise the Lord.
- [24:02]
Mary Walter
Oh, yeah. I'm into college basketball, you know, because Villanova grad. So college basketball is my jam. And I'm hoping for a good year since we have a new coach. We got rid of the last coach who really didn't do a great job, and we got a new one and they seem to be winning. So that will make me happy. So let's talk about ringing in the new year with Zoran Momdanmi, shall we? He, you know, he had several, several swearing in and they, they had the first one, you know, was in the old City hall subway stop, which was beautiful because it was day when everything was beautiful and gorgeous and before they tore all the beautiful, gorgeous stuff down and then sanitized it. But the funny thing is, is the New York Post pointed out that he accidentally praised, he accidentally gave kind of like a shout out to the private, private sector because that spot, that, that subway stop, originally, some parts of the New York City subway were built by private investors and run by private investors. And the old City hall stop didn't fall into disrepair until the city took it over. They took it over from the private company that was running it and it fell into disrepair and now it's closed. So it's pretty interesting that he doesn't know the history. And so he actually kind of gave a very good representation of what it could have been if the city had not taken it over. So there's, so there's that. Let me ask you, what's your prediction for New York City in 2026?
- [25:28]
Tony Kennett
So there are a lot of people out there who think that he's not going to be able to do anything, that Mamdani is just going to, you know, say really aggressive things and then he's going to govern moderately. And I like to call those people idiots. And the Reason I do, and the reason I'm not kind about it, the reason I'm not nice about it, is that he has told you who he is. We have seen how these young Marxists act. He has already hired a lawyer to defend Al Qaeda. I'm not joking. He has already, within 24 hours, hired a lawyer at the top of his city government to defend Al Qaeda. He's going to govern as radically as he can. And Kathy Hochul. Kathy Hochul has already financially endorsed his universal child care plan because it's going so swimmingly in Minnesota.
- [26:16]
Mary Walter
Well, you know what, though? I think Kathy Hochul has given him enough rope to hang himself because she can't give him the money that has to go through the legislature in Albany. And the vast majority of New York is not communist. Once you get out of the five boroughs, it's not communist. And even Staten island really isn't. So. So once you get out of there, the state's not going to give him money for anything. So Kathy Hogle can stand there and go, no, I stand with you. And she knows darn well he's not going to get what he needs financially for it. For instance, you know, he promised fasting the buses were going to be fast and free and the same thing for the subway. But unfortunately, the city doesn't run the buses. It's run by the mta, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, not the city. And they announced a while ago that there are now bus fare increases going into effect in two days. So not only are they not going to be free under Zoram, Daddy, they're actually having a fair hike under Zoram mom dying so he can. He made a lot of promises, and either he didn't know that he could not fulfill them because he doesn't control the purse strings, or he knew and just figured, I'm going to get elected with all of these wonderful promises, and then I'll just blame somebody else when it doesn't work out.
- [27:29]
Tony Kennett
So the problem is that we've seen this before. I've seen this exact argument before. Oh, I mean, come on. San Francisco's not going to go to the left. The majority of California's legislature is conservative. Oh, Dearborn's not going to get whatever they want. The majority of Michigan's legislature is not radical. Oh, come on. I've heard this before. I've heard it with Minnesota. I heard it with California. I've heard it with Massachusetts. Now I'm here hearing the exact same thing again. Oh, he's not going to get what he wants. There's all of these measures in place because, come on, Mary, you and I know all of these measures work out very, very well to stop Democrats from doing hyper radical things. I would bet dollars to donuts that by the end of March, he has found a way to put the MTA under the exclusive control of New York City via some type of executive clause in the 1956 enduring transport revision. I seriously, I would expect something like this. And no judge is going to say a Sam Dang, you're probably right.
- [28:33]
Mary Walter
But it's going to be interesting to watch. It's going to be interesting to watch these little socialists get exactly what they voted for, right? It already happened. Already started. He had this block party down by the Canyon of Heroes, you know, along Broadway there. And it was an inauguration for a new era block party. And what wound up happening is that everybody got crammed into pens like they do for New Year's Eve. There were no bathrooms. There was no food for sale at all. There were no vendors, so they had no food. They couldn't get water, they couldn't go to the bathroom. And One Astoria resident, 30 years old, said, it's definitely not a block party. So he was expecting a mix of food and music. There was no music, there was no food. And so there's none of that for the little people. But his wife was wearing like, these super, like $650 boots, right? So typically it was the ultimate in. In socialism, right? There. They're all their little Nepo babies, they got all the money there. She's wearing $650 boots. And the people who are crammed into pens are like, can I get a hot dog? Right.
- [29:39]
Tony Kennett
Yep.
- [29:40]
Mary Walter
Oh, yeah.
- [29:40]
Tony Kennett
The exact same thing that you saw in the Los Angeles racial riots. But I would say probably the best example of this in modern media is, believe it or not, of Christopher Nolan's the Dark Knight Rises. When the youth socialists, they take over Gotham under bain, and they rip all of the rich people out of their fancy apartments, they throw them into the street, and for three or four days, it is an orgy festival, great Gatsby style, and then nothing comes in to replace it. The tradesmen do not get up and go to work to fix it. There's no money to do it. And that will come for New York. And so this year I do watch with, of course, as a conservative, a fascination, watching the same young stupid idiots and the menopausal old women that support them, push them into this kind of nonsense. And I do loathe the men and the women who are working in New York City who don't necessarily have a ton of places to go that will have to suffer as a result while these children learn their lesson.
- [30:37]
Mary Walter
Well, and part of that is their fault because the majority of New Yorkers don't vote in the local elections. So they're going to learn a really valuable lesson, I guess, critical.
- [30:51]
Tony Kennett
And it's good and hard. You don't care about your country, you don't care enough to get out and vote, you don't care enough to get out in the primary process, then you deserve what you get. Good and hard. I didn't say that. You know, I mean, I feel bad for them is that I don't want a lot of people to go through this, but in the same way that I don't want my child to touch the hot stove. If the only way they are going to learn not to touch red hot metal surfaces is once touching the red hot metal surface, or I guess that they used to do this, you know, back in the day. You see your, you know, you see your kid, I don't know, pick up like a cigarette and you let, you just let them take that first cigarette because it'll make them sick to their stomach. That, that classic style, you know, a lot of the time it does work. And unfortunately, New York has taken the full drag right now.

Yeah, well, it's like the difference between dad parenting and mom parenting. Mom's like, no, no, no, no, don't stick the penny in the socket. And Dad's like, no, let him go ahead. It's not going to kill him, but he's going to learn a lesson, right? Exactly. What's happening? One last thing about Mamdani, then we'll take a quick break. His first day in office, he revoked all orders issued by Eric Adams after he was indicted on federal corruption charges. And he was indicted because he went against the Biden administration on immigration. And he is now being really taken to task by Israel, saying Israel. Israel's Foreign Ministry wrote on X on his very first day as New York City mayor. Donnie shows his true face. He scraps the IHRA definition of antisemitism and lifts restrictions on boycotting Israel. So this is the boycott divest and whatever, the other part of sanction. Yeah, yeah, sanction. Yeah, yeah. So he's opening the door for that now. And I look at the Jewish rabbis who stood with him and go, you know what? There you go.
- [32:38]
Tony Kennett
Oh, they don't care. Those, those rabbis that sit with them don't care anything about being Jewish Is any anything more than just the Westboro Baptist Church cares about actually being Baptist or these cultural fake Catholics that are out here preaching a bunch of groiper nonsense actually care about being Catholic. That the cultural fun of getting out there and saying that your religion is an excuse for you to act directly against the tenets of Orthodox Judaism or hardline scriptural Protestant Christianity or traditional high church Catholicism. Whenever you get out there and start using your religion as an excuse to politically act hedonistic, you get what you deserve. I mean, that's, that's a very old biblical principle. It is quite literally the principle that that caused Israel to split into two kingdoms back in the Old Testament. But the irony here is that all of these people who have claimed that, well, really it's, it's the Jews who are the problem are once again about to find out out exactly what happened in Minnesota, happened in New York. This is what my prediction is by April, that's going to be an issue.

Mary Walter
Yep. All right. More with Tony Kennett coming up here on the Rob Carson show. On the Newsmax hotline. I'm joined joined by the amazing Tony Kennett. He's an investigative columnist for the Daily Signal. Find him on X at the Tonus T O N U S Tony, what can what do you think we can expect from this January 6th panel? They're reconvening. We're having a, you know, a little, little reunion of the January 6th committee. They're going to celebrate the fifth year of the anniversary of the Fed's direction on January 6th of 2021. And I'd assume they're also celebrating the statute of limitations running kind of charges that could arise from the way it was handled and who was involved in it. They're all going to walk with zero charges. It's supposed to be a big hearing and they're going to of course, trash Trump and do all of that. What do you think we're going to say?
- [34:53]
Tony Kennett
Well, a couple of things here. So, so first of all, the statute of limitations is not over for these people. That's not how the statute of limitations quite work works. And also federal judges, especially for example, like in Florida, are more than happy to look and say, yeah, the statute of limitations doesn't apply here because this is a special circumstance. Statute of limitations, especially at the federal level are for things that the state goofed up like just declaring statute of limitations like Ollioli oxen free has not been a thing for the entire history of this country. Don't let some fake corporate lawyer from 2013 who starred in a sitcom for 15 minutes. Tell you how federal law works. That's retarded. Number two, this guy has to be the gayest thing I've ever heard of.

Carson (Relief Factor Testimonial)
What?
- [35:39]
Tony Kennett
They're going to reconvene like a high school reunion of all of the losers, and they're going to say, hey, remember that time that we lied about who the pipe bomber was? Yeah, we all do. I mean, at this point, it didn't help Biden in 24. Right. This was going to push him to victory. And it pushed him in reverse. His polling numbers. After they tried to go all in on January 6, they dropped six points in the Real Clear polling average. So now they need to focus. Right. Because it's 2026. You have Tim Walls and Zorin Mamdani leading the ticket for Democrats right now in the public side for midterms. So you need something not embarrassing. Jared Polis of Colorado is out in front of the country right now saying, you know what, maybe we should try some school choice stuff here from the Democrats side of the aisle. That's smart. That's good politics.
- [36:25]
Mary Walter
Yeah.
- [36:26]
Tony Kennett
The Democrats gonna lean in on that? No, they're gonna have Adam Schiff after the shadow hearing. Remember the shadow hearings, Mary, in March last year. They're gonna do it again, and it's gonna be embarrassing like Jennifer Rubin on steroids.

Mary Walter
Do you think this gains any traction? Because to me, the only thing that the left has is being against Trump. They're not for anything. The only thing they are is against Trump. Gavin Newsom is. Is out there just, you know, like, I'm fighting the hardest against Trump. Well, that doesn't qualify you to be president. But I don't think that the base cares. They just hate Trump so much, they don't know why, but it's all emotion driven. And so all that the left really has to do. The bar is low, is just show how much they hate to Trump in order to get votes. I mean, when you think about it, it's kind of sick. And it's. It may work with a lot of people.
- [37:16]
Tony Kennett
Well, they've tried that before. And what we've seen, from polling to likely voters and registered voters to actually bringing them out, is that that doesn't actually work as well as they think it does. Midterms, like going to the vote. And I know that you and I have had this conversation before, it's like going to the dmv. It sucks. Going to vote is annoying. You stand in line, everything's not set up. Right. The systems and stuff feel outdated. It's not like arduous isn't difficult, but it's just annoying. Right? It's something that you have to take time out and go and do for something that, let's be real, the return on investment kind of sucks unless you live in Florida. So here where we are right now, what the Democrats have to do is get people excited about going to the DMV. Well, after the 15th year, and this is now the 15th year of claiming we have to, well, as the one Congressman put it, we have to f. Trump awkwardly, you're not really motivating anyone. Rosie o' Donnell already left the country. Clooney's new now French. I mean, what do you have at this point? You have the socialists and they have to, they desperately need Mamdani to be super successful in New York to make that appeal. And they're just not gonna, there's not enough white, angry, liberal, menopausal women to make it happen this year.
- [38:32]
Mary Walter
Okay, could you lay off the menopausal women? It's something we all go through and it is not fun. And if men had to go through it, you would have a totally different attitude. So you, on that note, you need to just lay off the menopause because it happened. It can start in your 40s, you know.
- [38:45]
Tony Kennett
Okay. But here's the thing. Women on the right, they manage it better.
- [38:49]
Mary Walter
Women, yeah, we suffer in silence.
- [38:50]
Tony Kennett
Personality.
- [38:51]
Mary Walter
Yeah, we suffer in silence like we do with a lot of things. Tony, we gotta run. They're giving, you know, you know, Brian's yelling at me, so I gotta go. But thank you so much. What a treat getting to talk to you. I wish you a very blessed 2026. Thank you for joining me.
- [39:05]
Tony Kennett
See you as well. Mary Walter.

Mary Walter
You're the take care. We got more coming up with the Rob Carson show. Okay, that's enough. That's enough. I'm Mary Walter. 800-922-6680 is my number if you want to join me or reach out to me on X at Mary Walter Radio, no s and tag me in a post. All right. Coming up next hour, in my spot, where I usually am on Fridays at 01:35 Eastern Time Time will be a mystery guest. I wonder who it could possibly be. It'll anybody have any guesses? All right, let's get to some news here quickly. President Trump said the construction of an triumphal arch based on the Arc de Triumph in in Paris will be constructed in the nation's capital to commemorate the 250th anniversary of 2026. I'm not as against this. Like, at first I was like, oh, because everybody's calling it the arc to Trump, which he's not. Other people are. And I think it's being derogatory. Derogatory. Named by the left. I kind of think we need something to, to recognize the 250th anniversary of the country. So I'm kind of okay with this, especially since it is being funded privately with funds that are left over from the White House ballroom project. So why not? The left's gonna hate it. Of course they will hate it. They don't know exactly where it's going to be. But it is going to be somewhere near the Lincoln Memorial. Reportedly, that's not definite. Details about the amount of time it will take to build, the cost of construction, the funding and who is heading the project have not yet been released by the White House. But Trump, Trump is very happy with this. He is very excited about it. He had a little mini one he was holding up. It reminded me of Spinal Tap. Remember Spinal Tap? Stonehenge. That's what it kind of reminded me of. The last national monument to be built was the MLK monument that was built in Washington, D.C. mary Walter with you. More coming up on the Rob Carson Show.
