Main Discussion Points and Insights

1. Democratic Leadership & Urban Policy (01:18–10:53)

• Carson riffed on his move to D.C., experiences in expensive neighborhoods, and contrasted Democratic urban governance with Trump’s law-and-order policies:
  • He likened Democrat-run cities to "East Berlin," alleging decades of keeping people “in the dark, either uneducated or just propagandized, angry, needy and dependent.”

    “The Democrat Party has kept people just like East Berlin... for 60 years saying, oh, there’s nothing to see out there. ... That’s your Democrat Party.” (02:27)

  • Commentary on housing prices and affordability, mocking government interventions and suggesting market-driven choices.

    “If I couldn’t afford to live there, I wouldn’t expect to live there.” (03:51)

• He reflects on national sports outcomes humorously as “omens” of his own moves, segueing into politics with sportscaster-style levity.
• Emphasizes liberal obsession with Trump, parodying media coverage that fixates on the former president.
  • Series of repeated "Trump, Trump, Trump" references mocking CNN and Democratic talking points. (08:03–08:34)
  • Notable quote:

    "All the Democrats exist for is to be contrarian to Donald Trump even when he's right. And by the way, he's right about 100% of the time." (08:11)

2. Identity Politics & Party Division (09:15–10:53)

• Discussion on the Democratic party’s ideological lurch leftward.
• Critiques of figures like Kamala Harris and others for “most leftward positions,” with jokes about their competence.
  • Quote on Democrats:

    "There’s hardly any good manifestations of Democrats now." (09:50)

• Alan Dershowitz’s soundbite: explains as a Democrat why he’s planning to oppose his own party in 2026—“I don’t want chairman of the various committees to be members of the squad.” (11:04)

3. The Rose Garden, Trump’s Events, and Media Reactions (12:26–18:12)

• Rob shares a personal run-in with a "Karen" in Old Town Alexandria, using the encounter to satirize "Karen" culture and the political left.
  • Quote:

    “Karen’s look like Rachel Maddow. Even the men, even the men look like that.” (12:43)

• Trump’s Rose Garden renovation and White House events draw both praise and media scorn; Carson lampoons Democrats for criticizing Trump’s improvements.
  • Musical parody: “I beg your pardon, you got a problem with the Rose Garden?” (16:51–18:09)
  • Mocks Gavin Newsom’s criticism by referencing his own French Laundry visit during COVID.

    "Gavin Newsom got all mad... you went to the French Laundry in the height of the pandemic..." (15:57)

• Jokes about possible Trump-approved events like a UFC cage fight on the White House lawn for the U.S. 250th anniversary.

4. National Guard in Cities & Urban Crime (21:24–30:01)

• Updates on Trump’s use of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and potential expansions to Chicago.
• Cites statistics about Chicago’s crime (“most murdery place in America”), referencing reporting from Nick Shirley.
• Hypothetical White House press exchanges about crime and military action against cartels in Venezuela and Chicago:
  • Trump: “Next time they buzz our warships, General, do whatever you want. You want to blow them out of the sky, go for it.” (24:54)

5. Protests and ‘Karen’ Culture (30:20–34:49)

• Mocks D.C. progressive protests as being led by upper-class white "Karens."
• Suggests these protesters are performative, disconnected from the communities they claim to help.
  • Quote:

    “There were no black people in this parade. It was all white people, all privileged white people coming in from Chevy Chase, coming in from Friendship Heights...” (32:16)

  • Parody chant: "Ho, ho, hey, ho, hi ho, hi, ho. It’s off to a protest we go." (32:34)
• Praises Trump’s approach to crime and policing, dismisses left-wing concepts like "defund the police."
• Extended riff on the idea that police “do not prevent crime,” mocking academic studies and leftist talking heads.
  • “Would you rob a bank with a police officer in front of it or without?” (35:05)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Trump’s National Guard plan:

  “If Donald Trump brings it to places like Chicago and Baltimore... there’s going to be a great wall moment between people of color and the Democrat Party...” (01:41)

• Carson’s definition of a ‘Karen’:

  "She has been distilled into that white woman, graying hair, cul de sac dwelling, cat owning Karen and the emasculated husband... That is your Democrat party." (13:32)

• On party extremism:

  “So the most leftward candidate in the history of the presidency was anointed as the candidate... Not only was she most leftward, espousing the most leftward position the Democrats had ever lurched, she was also a complete moron.” (10:03)

• On Trump and law-and-order:

  "We’re not going to war. We’re going to clean up our city. We’re going to clean them up so they don’t kill five people every weekend. That’s not war. That’s common sense." (29:33)

• On media and protests:

  "These are bought and paid for protests... banging on pots and pans and act like idiots... Nothing better to do with their lives." (30:56)

• On the police:

  “If you’re so ignorant that you would deny that the police actually do prevent crime when they're out on the beat... Back to academia with you. I'll splash holy water on you. Back to the university you can came from.” (35:25)

Final Thoughts

Rob Carson continues to blend pointed conservative commentary with snarky asides, pop culture references, and parody, targeting Democratic city governance, progressive identity politics, and viral “Karen” moments. The episode is notable for lampooning both the culture wars (the "Karen" archetype) and recent law-and-order developments, while advocating for Trump’s policies as common sense solutions to urban crises. Carson elicits laughs and critiques in equal measure, making the episode engaging for his audience—especially those skeptical of mainstream media and progressive politics.

For listeners who missed the episode:
Expect a fast-paced mix of political lampooning, Trump boosterism, Karen-bashing, and cultural pessimism about liberal urban America—with plenty of quotable zingers and musical parody thrown in.

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 the Rob Carson show and it's Monday as we broadcast. We, we are. I sit in a room by myself in Washington D.C. i'm in Washington D.C. broadcasting. Been here now six weeks. And Donald Trump, he got out the National Guard, they're working with local authorities. It's crime free here in Washington D.C. virtually. I mean, it's one of the safest places in America. And this is of course terrifying Democrats because if they bring it to, if Donald Trump brings it to places like Chicago and Baltimore, which are both hell on earth by the way. And I'm talking about certain neighborhoods in Ballmer. I love me some Ballmer. Get me wrong, WCBM in Baltimore is our, is our flagship station. And I love me some Ballmer. But you see, these Democrats have screwed up all of these big, you know, metropolitan areas. They run by Democrats and they're afraid that not only Donald Trump is going to succeed, but there's going to be a great wall moment between people of color and the Democrat Party and coming down. And the Democrat Party basically was keeping people of color in East Berlin all these years for 60 years saying, oh, there's nothing to see out there. You, you're those, those Republicans are just going to take away what we give to you. We're only going to give you a pittance. We're going to give you some, you know, some welfare. We're going to give some ADC going to see some SNAP benefits. But you know, the Republicans, they want to take it away. They want to take it away. So the Democrat Party has kept people just like East Berlin, the East Berlin people in the dark, either uneducated or just propagandized, angry, needy and dependent. That's your Democrat Party. That's what's happening here in Washing with Donald Trump. It's all fallen down. And Mariel Bowser, who is the from Shot Ana, she actually was never with Shot Anah. But anyway, she, she's even saying, oh, yeah, it's a good thing. I guess we'll go ahead and keep the national garden stuff here until December. Because she knows it's better to be on the right side of history than when that wall comes down. And you'll still stand in there saying that, oh, no, we did a great job for Dem, for the people of color in urban areas the last 60 years. Now, actually, they've done a terrible job. So anyway, that's what's happening in the country. I'm living here in Washington, D.C. this weekend. I got out a lot and had a lot of fun. Went down to the Potomac here in Old Town Alexandria. I went and looked at a house this weekend just for bleeps and giggles, just for bleeps and giggles. And it's a couple of blocks from the Potomac here. It's a little brownstone built in 1860, and it's about a thousand square feet with a little dinky living room and a little dinky dining room and a little dinky kitchen and then one and a half bedrooms upstairs and one bathroom. And they want $1.13 million. And I said, if I bought this, if I bought this, this, this cabin, this camper made a brick, I wouldn't be able to sleep. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that I'd spent $1.13 million to live in a place that smells like 1860 and has little bitty bedrooms. And honestly, this kind of brought to the point, you know, what they're trying to do in New York City. You see, I can't own a home and afford to live in Old Town Alexandria. All right? For some people in New York City, because Democrats have made it so stupid expensive. So rather than Zorad Mandami coming in and saying, hey, we'll just get you a rent controlled apartment, or, you know, we'll give you the minimum wage of $50 an hour, whatever, maybe Zoran should just say, maybe you can't afford here because to live here because Democrats can't live here. See, I wouldn't expect somebody like Zoran Mandami to come in and say to me, hey, you know what, Rob? I know you can't afford that $1.13 million house there by the water, but you know what? You ought to be able to, you know, and here's a bunch of government programs that'll get you into that house. No, no, no, I don't expect that. I just choose to not live there. So there you go. That's. That's generally how it works. And, and of course it's, it's very desirable to live here near the water. I understand that New York pretty much is damn expensive just because of taxes and regulation and nonsense. Because honestly, you know, right there in the heart of Manhattan, unless you like looking at a concrete jungle, you like looking at, you know, a five mile stretch of buildings 100 stories tall, you know, maybe you find that desirable. Sure, whatever. I don't think I could live there. But if I couldn't afford to live there, I wouldn't expect to live there. So there you go. There you go. I was. Got a lot, I got a lot of stuff on the plate today. Some serious, some not so serious. Great experience that I had this weekend. Oh, by the way, one other thing. When I left the D.C. area, I went to Kansas City and I lived there for 10 years. The first year that I was there, they won the World Series. Now, I had the last time they had won the World Series. I was in school in Missouri at the time. So obviously me coming back to the Missouri area, one Kansas City, the World series and then three Super bowl appearances, one Super bowl victory. I come back to D.C. yesterday. Did you see the Commanders? Did you see the. I mean, I have never seen that team. Well, at least when I was here play anything like they did yesterday. But it looks like they got some good things going on. Ravens, you got some things to work on. I'm just going to say you were ahead by double digits in with four minutes left and what the hell. Yeah, you got to work on that. Sorry I couldn't move to Baltimore and bring the super bowl there, but it might happen here. That said, got a lot of stuff going on. I did have to laugh this weekend. That Scott Jennings. I admire Scott a good deal. He's the voice of common sense on cnn. He has the enviable position of being able to put their panels to shame because their panels are made of a bunch of ignoramuses and their arguments are specious at best. And here he is echoing what I've said about the Democrat Party. Well, I mean, for the foreseeable future, the person who's running the Democratic Party now is going to be running it. That's Donald Trump. I mean, the only thing they know how to do. Listen to him laugh. Listen to him laughing. And he's proving them wrong against whatever he is for. And so there is no leader of the party except for Trump. The beating heart of the Democratic Party is if Trump is for it, we're against it. What did I say? All the Democrats exist for is to be contrarian to Donald Trump even when he's right. And by the way, he's right about 100% of the time. So there's that. And he throw a little socialism on the side. That's basically how. Thanks one and all. I know. Let the record reflect that the two Democrats at the panel disagreed with. Yeah, yeah. I mean that would be insane to think that the media, you know, and the. And the Democrats are completely obsessed with Donald Trump.

[Co-host or Guest]

I mean, let's start with Donald Trump. Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Now, of course, Donald Trump.

[Co-host or Guest]

Trump. Trump. Donald Trump. Trump. Appointed Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Trump.

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, that's interesting because. Trump. Trump. Trump. President Trump. Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Trump. This was actually after Donald Trump's first term.

[Co-host or Guest]

Trump. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Trump has been President. President Trump. Caitlin, where are we right now in this sentencing?

[Rob Carson]

President proceeding?

[Co-host or Guest]

Donald Trump. Trump. Trump. We have a Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Donald Trump.

[Co-host or Guest]

When it comes to Donald Trump. Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Trump and Trump.

[Co-host or Guest]

Donald Trump. Missing from that is Donald Trump, you know, Trump, Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're completely obsessed. I mean, obviously what Scott Jennings said there was true. They exist only to be contrarian to Donald Trump because in Donald Trump they see their doom. And their doom is happening in real time as we speak on a number of different fronts. Here is James Carville on the Howie Kurtz show. I always won. It's like how he get a TV show like that because he's annoying as hell. That's what I think of when I watch Howie Courts. How he get a job like that, I can't even imagine. But here he is talking about James Carville and the insanity of the Democrats. Do you think the Democratic Party has moved too far left, too concerned with pronouns and things of that nature? He said no. Well, there he's wrong.

[Co-host or Guest]

I think they. I think they did. I think they're trying to pull back as fast as.

[Rob Carson]

No, no, they're not. They're going. They're lurching leftward.

[Co-host or Guest]

They possibly can. I think that 95 the people in the party realize this is an idiotic.

[Rob Carson]

Giant mistake, then why are they leaning into people like Bernie Sanders and Zo. Ron Mandami and aoc?

[Co-host or Guest]

As I said, the three dumbest words in the history of the English language would defund the police.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Co-host or Guest]

And I think there's a recognition of that and how if you look at Senator Slotkin, who is probably as good a manifestation of what I think a great Democrat should be, and there's.

[Rob Carson]

There's hardly any good manifestations of Democrats now.

[Co-host or Guest]

You said we got a rally together. We have to fight this. And I, I agree. The time to air our ideological differences are not right now. It's in the presidential.

[Rob Carson]

You know, it's remarkable. So the most leftward candidate in the history of the presidency was anointed as the candidate. No Democrats had a choice. Her name, Kamala Harris. Not only was she most leftward, espousing the most leftward position the Democrats had ever lurched, she was also a complete moron. And if I'm not mistaken, she's still a complete moron. That said, the Democrat Party, rather than licking their wounds and learning a few things, they're lurching ever leftward with people like Zoran Mandami. Yeah, yeah. So, and then, and then, of course, there's Alan Dershowitz here. Alan Dershowitz, a liberal in good standing, and he says he's going to do everything he can to make sure Democrats don't win in the midterms. And by the way, they're not going to win in the midterms because they haven't learned anything and they're still crazy.

[Co-host or Guest]

I am now going to actively try to defeat the Democrats in the 2026 election. I don't want the Democrats to control the House.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Who does?

[Co-host or Guest]

I don't want chairman of the various committees to be members of the squad.

[Rob Carson]

Because they're insane in the House. Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

To be senators like Senator Warren, Senator Murphy, Senator Sanders. These are people who are not good for America.

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Co-host or Guest]

They're terrible also for the.

[Rob Carson]

I know we don't need for Israel.

[Co-host or Guest]

But for me, America is first and they're terrible for America.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And you know what? We've got to build those majorities in the House and Senate in the midterms and then really go to work. Really go to work dismantling this wretched, wretched, deep state in Washington, D.C. we've got much coming up on the show. Democrats, now, they hate the fact that Donald Trump has made the, the Rose Garden into something nice, a nice space to Be in where women's heels don't get stuck in mud. Donald Trump has appro UFC cage match next next year. Oh, my God. And then of course, oh, we got to get to the Philly. The Philly Karen who took the ball from the little kid and the, and the suffering that she's, she's going through because of her Karenhood. That's all coming up on the show. This is the Rob Carson Show. Stick around.

[Co-host or Guest]

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I ran into my first Karen in, in Old Town Alexandria. And she was this little busy body sitting in this restaurant. I was at this restaurant, they do dessert Detroit style pizza. And, and she. All of a sudden I was talking to the bartender and I was having a Diet Coke. I was sitting at the bar because I didn't want to sit at the table by myself. Anyway, so I'm sitting there having my Diet Coke and you know, order and, and she for some reason says she yells at the bartender about something, says, you know, you have other customers. And she was referring to me. And I said, I'm sorry, are you talking to me? And she goes, yes, I am talking about you. And I said, oh, do you have a problem? And she didn't say anything. And then, I don't know, she said something about me when I was talking to the bartender that somehow it was bothering her. I was, I was loud. I wasn't being loud anyway, so I just kind of, I just, I was going to be the better person. So I maced her. No, I'm just kidding. But so I just, you know, sat there and I thought about going over and saying, if, if, if my presence offended you in any way, shape or form, I do apologize. But I thought no, because I didn't do anything wrong. So I just said, have a great day, Karen as I walked out. And you could just tell she had the Karen look. Karen's look like Rachel Maddow. Even the men, even the men look like that. And I told you this, this is ground zero for Karen. Karen has been identified. I recognized her in 1995 in Minneapol. These busybody white women in cul de sac America who want to get rid of Native American accent mascots and all of that. And I knew it was headed this way. And now she has been distilled into that white woman, graying hair, cul de sac dwelling, cat owning Karen and the emasculated husband or other man in her life. That is your Democrat party. That is your Democrat party. She was out at the Phillies baseball game. We'll get to that very shortly. But Karen has been identified. It's so glorious. The left, at the very beginning Donald Trump's presidency tried to make it look like Karen was also conservative. That's nonsense because conservative Karen's don't give a crap what you do. Busy body liberal Karen's are the ones you need to worry about. As Malcolm X warned before he was murdered. By the way, here's something to make you feel good. President Trump has approved the UFC cage fight on the White House lot. This is so great. This is so great. He just keeps poking. We're gonna have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White house for the 250th birthday of America. Maybe they should close down Pennsylvania, Ava. Make it into a giant mud pit for maybe a monster truck rally. I would so love. Oh, I would. Ooh, I would love to see that. I would love to see that. According to the Wall Street Journal, the White House. We got it done. Today, the major sporting event being planned for next summer, the 250th anniversary of the United States. The event will include fireworks, lasers, thousands of sports fans on the White House lawn. It is so glorious. And then over the weekend, Trump debuted the Rose Garden Club and sparked a liberal meltdown as a lavish menu was revealed. Now listen to this. Here was what was served. New York strip steak, which is not the best steak. Okay. Thyme roasted chicken. It's chicken summer pasta primavera. Dear God. It comes in a box. If you really want to make it, you can buy it from a box at the store. And a decadent fudge filled seven layer cake for dessert. That's it. Gavin Newsom got all mad. He said that he was allies for cheersing Diet Cokes instead of helping the country's economy. Our economy is in a downward spiral. But don't worry. The GOP are spending their time cheersing Diet Cokes at the new exclusive club. I do believe you went to the French Laundry in the height of the pandemic, even though you drove tens of thousands of businesses out of business and put tens of thousands of people out of work and destroyed the lives of children in California. Honestly. At the French Laundry. But Donald Trump had given up the green space. They put down some nice stone and everything because soggy conditions generally muck up the heels of women walking around back there. That's why he did it. And yet the Democrat party can't find anything good to say about Donald Trump. So they even criticize and here's Jim Gossett.

[Co-host or Guest]

I beg your pardon.

[Rob Carson]

As the President of the United States.

[Co-host or Guest]

You got a problem with the Rose Garden? I renovated.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

It sucked before some would even say I innovated.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

If the changes you don't like, then take a hike. You got to let it go. I beg your pardon, you got a problem with the Rose Garden? Restoration is complete. We poured concrete. We gave the Rose Garden a brand new look.

[Rob Carson]

You know, tiki torches.

[Co-host or Guest]

We even added a patio.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, patio. Everybody's got one.

[Co-host or Guest]

The fake news medias complainin. Ignore the outrage that they're feignin'. Let them whine. Cause I don't care a lot about them. I beg your pardon? You got a problem with the Rose Garden?

[Rob Carson]

You got a problem.

[Co-host or Guest]

My renovation.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

Is causing lots of liberal consternation.

[Rob Carson]

Nice.

[Co-host or Guest]

I beg your pardon.

[Rob Carson]

There you go.

[Co-host or Guest]

You got a problem with the Rose Garden?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, just. Just be wording to hear their heads rattle. Newsom added, welcome to Predator admission. You're just prove you're on the Epstein. What an idiotic thing for that. That. Have you been noticing all the videos about his bizarre movements? His bizarre, jerky, weird movements? Gavin Newsom. Then all sudden he just rubs his nose. I wonder what that's about. I have no idea what that's about. He also took another dig after ripping health care from 17 million Americans. He's talking about RFK Jr slashing food stamps for kids. No, he didn't. We're glad. We're glad like Michael Marie Antonette Johnson and his boyfriends had time to toast to the grand opening of the Predator Patio. Just. What a. What a. Just a filthy, rotten, veneered toothed moron. The governor wasn't the only one left upset about the event. The Rose Garden Club. Wtf? Seriously? Honestly. Honestly. For a century they've been talking about building a ballroom on the. On the White House grants because there's room for it. Donald Trump comes in, said, okay, let's do something about it. The ro. Rose Garden was a hellhole before. Right after Barack Obama left and in the final year of Trump's first presidency, his lovely wife decided to replant some roses and make it look great. The Democrats beat and whined about that. Then they come in. Donald Trump has a big event a few weeks ago, notices that everybody's feet are getting soaked because they're standing in a mud pit. All right. By the way, Washington D.C. was built on a swamp. And so Donald Trump said, let's put some delightful stone in here like you would do in your back room or backyard if your yard was a mud pit. And yet the Democrats can say nothing good, because there's nothing good about Democrats. There you go. That's all you need to know. Now, coming up, a lot of news on Chicago. Of course, the people in charge of Illinois and Chicago, Pritzker and Magic Johnson. Yeah. They are complaining that Donald Trump is coming in. Going to be militarizing Chicago. They said they're militarizing the National Guard. Well, the National Guard is the military, so there's that. Anyway, it looks like it's gonna happen whether they like it or not. And people are gonna be safe. We got details on that coming up on the other side of the break. And this is the Rob Carson Show. The night that our flag was still, this is at the US Open. Donald Trump was there this weekend. They were debating whether or not the audience was cheering or booing for Donald Trump. And actually it was a very warm reception considering, you know, the U.S. open. I'm not a big tennis guy. I find that a lot of, you know, tennis people are kind of annoying, elitist, you know, kind of like people who play polo. Temperature, ice, above, just a little bit like that. But anyway, here is Donald Trump on the US Open being interviewed on the tarmac.

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, I loved it. First of all, the two players have unbelievable talent. It just seemed that they hit the ball harder than I've ever seen before. Incredible talent. And I enjoyed it. And I used to go all the time, but, you know, lately it's a little bit more difficult to go. I really enjoyed it. They were really nice. The fans were really nice. I didn't know what to expect. Usually you would say that would be a somewhat progressive, as they say nowadays, crowds, sometimes, some people would call it liberal, but we'll use the word they like to use progressive. But they were, they were great. The fans were great.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Yeah. Because, you know, Donald Trump's doing so many things right and he's got a 55% approval rating on things that, you know, the public sides 80% of the time with him on, like closing the border, like federalizing the police to bring down crime, like not allowing boys to become girls so they can beat girls because they suck in their own sports. And, you know, all these other bat guano crazy nonsense that the Democrat Party has tried to float as a trial balloon to the American people when they got a president that could, would be, you know, would, would sign off all on this because he had pudding for brains and it didn't work out so, well, they got Joe Biden into. Into office by hook or by crook. A bunch of people took over for him, signed everything with the auto. They tried the leftist nonsense, the Maoists, the Stalinists, the. The even Third Reichian kind of policies with regard to censorship and all of that. And it did a face plant and they failed. And yet they're still. They're still leaning left. They're still leaning left in places like New York, where Zohan Mandami is on the Ascension, even though it's just a bunch of ignorant children voting for him. So there is that. We'll get to that as the. As the show progresses. Justice Trump is winning strikes targeting the cartels inside Venezuela. I love this. He's not authorized. Yeah, he is. He. He declared the cartels terrorist organizations, so we get to bomb the snot out of them. That's the way it works. Wah wah boo Friggity. Who? Donald Trump. Weighing a multitude of options for options, carrying out military strikes against drug cartels operating in Venezuela, including potentially hitting targets inside the country as a part of a broader strategy aimed at weakening leader Nicolas Maduro. And by the way, he has emptied his prisons into our country. He has facilitated the death of tens of thousands of Americans in drug overdoses. And the violence and crime that has come from gangs like Trend Aragua, which is from Venezuela, that was allowed to come into the United States. So as far as I'm concerned, we ought to take part in a little regime change because they are in. They already invaded our country. They've already killed our citizenry. Those are acts of war. So boom, boom, pow, Pow, pow. Yeah, 100%. But of course, Jerry the Nadler. Jerry the Nadler. He thinks it's bad news. Here's Donald Trump basically saying, you know what? I've got permission to shoot down Venezuelan warplanes when they buzz our ships and invade Venezuela if I have to. We're not going to invade. We're just going to go in and kill all the drug dealerships.

[Co-host or Guest]

Well, I would say they're going to be in trouble. We'll let them know about that. We heard that happen, but it wasn't really over, not like they described. But I would say, General, if they do that, you have a choice of.

[Rob Carson]

Doing anything you want. Okay. Yeah. So the next time they buzz our warships, General, do whatever you want. You want to blow them out of the sky, Go for it.

[Co-host or Guest]

They fly in a dangerous position. I would say that you can. You or your captains can make the decision as to what they want.

[Rob Carson]

Captain oh my. Captain, here's the Nadler, Jerry Nadler, he's a, he's a Batman villain who pulls his pants up right below his nipples and he smells like mothballs and body odor. Anyway, here's the Nadler and he, he says that Trump should be arrested for that.

[Co-host or Guest]

They just bombed a speedboat which they asserted was carrying terrorists.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they were trendy NICO members. Judge, jury and execution. It was a drug boat. They knew it. They had intellig intelligence. You don't when you're not in a.

[Co-host or Guest]

Time of war for that. The president ought to face criminal charges.

[Rob Carson]

He's not going to face criminal charges, you idiot. Here they are again, guys. Here they are again. Just, you know, being contrarian to something that the American people love it and you know, we love it. We love to watch terrorists get the crap bombed out of them because they deserve it and because we've had to endure this nonsense for the last, you know, four years minimum. And it's gotten to be a little bit ridiculous. Here's a. I found this guy on Chicago. He's a young guy, independent reporter, his name is Nick Shirley. And this guy, I mean, pretty brave of him, he's a little, you know, he's a little white boy and he, and he decides to go into the hood in Chicago with the gang members, well, armed gang members who have declared war on Chicago and made Chicago into a war, war zone. It was a fascinating piece and I hope to have him on the show.

[Co-host or Guest]

President Trump escalating his threat to send the National Guard to Chicago after a deadly weekend there.

[Rob Carson]

At least 35 people shot, five of them killed.

[Co-host or Guest]

There were multiple mass shootings this weekend in Chicago. At least 43 people were shot. Expectations are growing that Chicago will be the next city to see National Guard troops on its streets. As you all know, Chicago is a killing field.

[Rob Carson]

Welcome to Chicago, a modern day American battlefield where shootout could happen at any moment. Yeah, this is Nick Shirley. For an astonishing 13 years straight, Chicago has recorded the most homicides of any U. S. City. But there's nothing to see here. In 2024 alone, there were 573 murders. And among cities with over a million residents, Chicago has held the highest murder rate for seven consecutive years. Seven consecutive years. So the number of murders was down since last year, but it's still the most murdery place in America. Here's Donald Trump with a few stats for you.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah, really higher than Chicago. You're not. Excuse me, excuse me. You know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend?

[Rob Carson]

8.

[Co-host or Guest]

You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest]

You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. I wouldn't say that's in control, and I wouldn't say that Chicago is safe. And by the way, even like 15, 20 years ago, I was in Chicago. I saw a show at the United center, and it was Elton John, Billy Joel's Years Ago Ago. And. And we got out on the street, and you had to wait there and wait for a ride. And then you notice the crowd around the United Center. Clearly criminal elements began circling and closing in on the people who were standing out in front of the United center, desperate for some sort of a cab ride. I'll never forget it. It was really, really terrifying. It was. It was very scary. But that was like 15, 20 years ago. So things have only gotten worse. Yamiche Alcindor is a radical leftist on Capitol Hill, and she confronted Donald Trump and said, do you want to turn Chicago into a war zone? And Donald Trump had her for lunch, and not in a good way.

[Co-host or Guest]

You say that, darling. That's fake news. Well, why would the Department of Defense. Listen, be quiet. Listen.

[Rob Carson]

Now, he had put out this little meme this weekend with him as. As Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now. It was like chicopolix now or whatever. And then it said, I love the smell of deportations in the movie Morning. And then he said, you're gonna find out why we named it the Department of War. Now, I knew he was stirring it up. He was, like I said on TV this week, Donald Trump is like a guy on a riding lawnmower hitting a nest of. Of mud wasps. And that's the Democrat Party flying out. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Swatting them away. And. And Yamiche Alcindor again, she was all, you know, butthurt about that and so said, you're going to make war on Chicago. And listen, here's Trump in all of his greatness.

[Co-host or Guest]

You don't listen. You never listen. That's why you're second rate. We're not going to war. We're going to clean up our city. We're going to clean them up so they don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war. That's common sense.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. It's not war, it's common sense. And Tom Holman says, yeah, we are going to war. We are going to war. Just not against Chicago, just the criminal. Elliot, I've got some audio on the other side of the break. Let's take that break, shall we, this is the Rob Carson Show.

[Co-host or Guest]

Chicago is a very dangerous place and we have a governor that doesn't care about crime. I guess we could solve Chicago very quickly, but we're going to make a decision as to where we go over the next day or two. When you look at what happened to D.C. in a short period of time, honestly, it's amazing.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You know, because JB Tesla, Pritzler, anyway, the governor and of course Brandon Johnson, they're like those East German tower guards looking over the wall. And every time a person of color tries to escape Chicago and recognize that, you know, the, the hell that Democrat policies have made, they get shot. So yeah, there is that and it's about time. And I've been following this for my, all of my adult life, certainly as long as I've been a broadcaster saying how long is it going to take before we're finally able to turn this around? And now I know that the Democrat Party Party wants to keep people in America's inner cities ignorant, ignorant, uneducated, angry and needy and give them a pittance for which they're supposed to give them their votes and then say that every one of the problems that exist in their lives is because of America and Republicans and stick with us. No, no, here you get your food stamps, you get your public housing and don't pay attention. The Republicans are going to try and take it off away. So you just live a life of mediocrity and crime your entire life. Generations have. And Democrats were perfectly fine with it because you know, 90% of people of color vote Democrat. They've got a kind of a monopoly. And this is why J.B. titzler and, and Brandon Johnson are doing everything they can to stand in the schoolhouse doors and shout them down. And shout them down. And in D.C. over the weekend there was a big old rally, a bunch of Karen's again, a bunch of Karens. Several thousands of people took the streets of D.C. they broke, they protested Elon Musk, he was a Nazi. They produce new kings. They protest the, you know, Trump deporting, they protest you're removing homeless encampments. They protest ICE raids. I mean, every week there's a stupid protest. They're banging on pots and pans and act like idiots mostly because A, they don't have anything better than to do with their lives and B, these are bought and paid for protests. But that said, there was a demonstration over the weekend under the, under the banner of we are all D.C. and obviously, well, according to these people, D.C. is all white. Karens and there are emasculated husbands. Because this is what it sounded like at the. There were no. There were no black people in this parade. It was all white people, all privileged white people coming in from Chevy Chase, coming in from Friendship Heights, coming in from wherever and banging on pots and pans. They never did. They didn't do it in Anacostia. They wouldn't be seen over there. Ho, ho, hey, ho, hi ho, hi, ho. It's off to a protest we go. Oh, my God. See, you can tell it's white people because, I mean, I mean, really, can we just kind of keep a tune going here? And yeah, boy, can we get somebody on the, on the drums over there because he's. He is one beat off or two. Maybe even two. That's your big rally. We hate the fact that Donald Trump has brought down carjackings. 90%. We hate that violent crime is down 46% in Washington, D.C. we hate that black lives are being saved. Oh, my God. Donald Trump's a Nazi. People are so stupid. Oh, my God, you're so stupid. Here is Tom Holman. He was on with Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper. He was the guy who said he didn't know that Joe Biden has Dominic for four years and then wrote a book about it. Like, what? What? I didn't know anything about it. And Tom Holman said, hey, Jake Tappers, are you declaring war on Chicago? And Tom's home and said, yeah, look.

[Co-host or Guest]

I think it's worth being taken out of context if I said, we're going.

[Rob Carson]

To war, we're going to war.

[Co-host or Guest]

The criminal cartels, we're going to war with illegal aliens, public safety threats that raped children, that raped citizens, that committed armed robbers, robberies that distribute narcotics that kill Americans. We're at war with the criminal cartel.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, And America loves it. That's why Donald Trump has a 52%, no, 55 approval rating now there, Jake.

[Co-host or Guest]

I'm going to. Prisoner protects criminal, illegal alien, public safety threats every day in that state.

[Rob Carson]

Along with Mayor Johnson.

[Co-host or Guest]

Yeah, we proved that the first week of the administration.

[Rob Carson]

I went, they don't want that fault, that wall to fall down between the Democrat Party and inner city people, because then they'll see all the stuff they're missing. It's a Chicago, just like in East.

[Co-host or Guest]

Berlin, started an operation there the first day.

[Rob Carson]

We arrested nine sexual predators, most of them child rapists. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Did you protest that, too?

[Co-host or Guest]

Arrested nine members of tda. Several of those TDA members had an illegal pistol with a switch on It. Which makes that pistol fully automatic. We arrested two illegal aliens that had a homicide conviction.

[Rob Carson]

That was the first day in Chicago.

[Co-host or Guest]

So, you know, President Trump and his administration. Yeah. We're at war with the criminal car.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. And if you don't like it, you can kma, baby. Honestly. This is Eli Mystal. You ever seen this illy Mostal guy? He's a human Q tip. He looks just like a Q tip. And he says that police do not prevent crime. People have looked and studied and figured out what creates crime, what stops crime, how crime happens, and the evidence shows. Yeah. What One thing that I think most people, even in our own community. Community. Do not fully appreciate. Okay, what? Is that the police are not there to prevent crime. Yeah, they are, because when you defunded them, then crime came, you see, because there were no police. Police do not prevent crime. At best, they catch criminals after the fact. And that's. Oh, no. Would you rob a bank with a police officer in front of it or without? That's great. That's the prevention necessary. Yay. Right. But if you, if what you're actually saying is that you're worried about crime prevention, putting more police on the streets does nothing to help crime prevention. Well, this is why academics don't run the country. I mean. Well, they do. They did for a while. But honestly, if you're, if you're so ignorant that you would deny that the police actually do prevent crime when they're out on the beat. Honestly, you know, back to academia with you. I'll splash holy water on you. Back to the university you can came from. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It's the Rob Carson show broadcasting live from Washington, D.C. having the time of my life in Washington, and I'm doing my level best to get out and enjoy everything. I'm going into town tonight to have dinner and I've been invited. I. I can't. Am I going to give a lot of details on it? I know that a good friend of mine is going to be there and there are going to be some members of an Israeli delegation and some hires up in the. In the Israeli Knesset will be joining us for. It's an informal dinner and I'm kind of excited about it. It's. It's. I never thought that. Well, I shouldn't say that. I just can't believe this is happening. It's remarkable because last year I was living in Kansas, you know, devoting myself to marriage and family as much as I could prepared to stay there and then now. Well, I don't live in cul de sac America anymore. I have an apartment in Washington D.C. and I'm meeting power brokers and, and, and seeing things and just loving it. I'm loving it. I really am. So I'm glad you're here with me. By the way. Gold is on a record run. Yes, gold is on a record run. So far this year, bullion has gained about 35% as of Friday's close, near $3,600 an ounce. What I tell you? I've been telling you this since last year. So it's even gotten bigger. It's even gotten bigger. Investors regard gold as protective against bad economic times according to research by the Federal bank of Chicago. I got the article right here from Ms. From in mn. What's the one that. You know the NBC that did whatever. Cnbc, they're saying it. So as inflation jumps, the national debt is $37 trillion. The value of dollars are going down. Gold is going up. And here we are again. CNBC saying 35% right now if you until the 30th of this month if you're a first time gold buyer. Birch is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 in free metals. Yeah. So to claim eligibility, start the process. Request an info kit. Text Rob to 989-898 plus Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401K into gold. So there you go. $10,000 rebate up to $10,000 if you buy by September 30th. But you've got to get the ball rolling on gold today with birch gold. Text by name rob2989898. That's rob298-9898 if you would like to partake in that. I did. And like I said, look at it's $3,600 an ounce. Just since earlier this year was 30 $300 an ounce like literally three months ago. Now it's 36. You better get on the gold train. Coming up, we're gonna get into Philly, Karen. We're gonna get into the. The aftermath of RFK's Capitol Hill appearance and he's doubling down on firing people. That's coming up hour two. Don't go anywhere.
