Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Pope’s Honor to Dick Durbin—Disappointment and Exasperation

• Rob’s Take on Pope Leo and the Catholic Church ([00:20], [28:51], [31:01]):
  • Expresses deep disappointment over Pope Leo honoring Senator Dick Durbin, criticizing both for what he regards as anti-troop and pro-choice stances.
  • “I'm thin ice with the Catholic Church. I mean, I just went for the first time a couple weeks ago, for the first time in four years. Don't be doing this, Leo, because I will find another church.” ([00:20])
  • Attributes a long pattern of political meddling by the Church—frustrated that the Church rewards those he sees as antithetical to core values.
• Mary Walter’s Perspective ([31:01]):
  • Counsels that faith should not be dictated by the fallibility of church leaders—“He's a man... not infallible when it comes to anything outside of the religious... I don't let a man keep me away from my faith.”
  • Encourages listeners to separate their spiritual life from politics, even if the Pope is politically “wrong.”

2. Government Shutdown Politics & Media Narrative

• Shutdown as a ‘Democrat Problem’, Not Republican ([05:07] onwards):
  • Rob draws historical parallels with the 1990s, Newt Gingrich, and Bill Clinton, reminding listeners that centrism balanced the budget then.
  • “This is literally, I think you have to start with the idea this is the Schumer shutdown. That's what this is about.” ([05:21])
  • Trust in Mainstream Media Collapsing:
    • Rob highlights a poll: only 28% of people trust major media, drawing a direct line to conservative media successes and the failings of "the censorship industrial complex."
    • Notes a NYT poll showing 65% of readers blaming Democrats for the shutdown ([05:35]).
• Media Manufactured Outrage—‘Sombrero Gate’ ([05:35], [08:05]):
  • Rob mocks controversy over a Trump staff meme showing Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, dismissing the accusations of racism as tiresome and performative.
  • “The left is still trying this... like wearing a sombrero if you're not Mexican is racist. That... was completely idiotic.”
  • Mary Walter adds: “So reveals the privilege that you are sitting in as you do that...” ([08:41])
  • Rob: “I'm not hearing Mexican panelists here discussing whether it's racist or not.” ([09:28])
  • Rob’s take: Americans are fed up with “censorship” and manufactured offense.

3. Crime, National Guard Deployments & Inner City Politics

• Memphis Welcomes the National Guard ([11:34]):
  • Rob and Mary highlight community relief as the National Guard is called in to address crime: “The idea that there is a square inch of funk in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable.” ([12:08])
  • Rob frames the intervention as a conservative liberation of inner cities from “Democrat rule” and persistent grievance politics.
• Analogies to Historical Change ([13:17]):
  • Rob compares the current moment in cities to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of "conservative apartheid," and emancipation from Democratic “plantation” politics.

4. Antifa, Portland, and Conservative ‘Comeback’

• Rob and Mary depict Antifa as “childish Marxists” whose influence in places like Portland is waning as public patience runs out ([15:01], [16:15]).
  • Mary’s comedic quip to protesters: “Get a job.” ([16:25])
• Citizens reportedly support federal clean-ups and are eager to reclaim their communities from lawlessness.

5. Cultural Parody & Satire

  • Satirical song about sending National Guard troops to Memphis, criticizing Democratic mayors and city management.
  • Highlights the show's use of humor and parody in political commentary.
  • “I'm sending in the guards. Memphis needs it... Their mayor, Paul Young. That guy's really sad. Voted the most dangerous place in the USA.” ([18:14])
• Comic Banter Between Rob and Mary ([19:42] onwards):
  • Lighthearted exchange about Rob’s bachelor lifestyle, Led Zeppelin art, and waterbeds, segueing into broader conversation about relationships, aging, and pizza standards.

6. Maxwell House’s Marketing Gimmick ([24:53])

• Rob and Mary joke about Maxwell House coffee temporarily rebranding as “Maxwell Apartment” to appeal to renters, suggesting it’s a sign of desperate marketing and waning brand power.
  • Rob: “If Kamala Harris would have gotten in office, they would have had to come up with Maxwell Refrigerator Box.”

7. The Pope, Faith, and Maintaining Spiritual Integrity ([28:51], [31:01])

• In-depth exchange about not letting Church politics shake personal faith.
• Mary: “Don't let human beings come between you and your God. That's it. That's where I am.”

8. Critique of “Woke” Administrative Policies ([36:19])

• Segment mocking “safe spaces for two-spirit individuals” in government policy recommendations.
  • Rob, narrating a Senate hearing clip: “All of this crap that... the Democrats do now... nonsense about two spirit—it's gone, it's dead.” ([36:20])

[Rob Carson]

Hold it.

[Mary Walter]

Now.

[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, and.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

By the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. We've got hour number two right ahead of you. Mary Walter joins us at the bottom of the hour. I'm sure she will. I've got a stack of stories that I'm going to share with with Mary at the bottom of the hour. I think she's going to enjoy. I'll tee her up is what I'm going to do, including the. The Pope. I'm not terribly impressed with old Pope Leo. I'm. I'm a little disappointed. And I had a real problem with Francis. Francis was, you know, socialist. And now, Leo, honoring Dick Durbin, who, who not only is, uh, you know, rabid, uh, pro choicer, but also just a really filthy fil. The awful human being who betrayed our troops when they were overseas. Just an awful person. Really, really awful person. And Leo, I don't know, man. I'm, you know, I'm thin ice with the Catholic Church. I mean, I just went. I just went for the first time a couple weeks ago, for the first time in four years. Don't be doing this, Leo, because I will find another church. I will find another church. You're gonna be playing this anyway. We've got a bunch of things we want to get to on the show, including Donald Trump declaring war on the, on the cartels and whatnot. And then of course, we got this deadline Sunday. Donald Trump has given to Hamas, saying, you better agree to the deal we're working up here. And it sounds like we're knocking on pieces door in the Middle east, which would be absolutely remarkable, would be absolutely amazing if that actually happened. Government shutdown is still going on. Still going on. And this is Newt Gingrich last night. I remember when, when Newt Gingrich was the speaker of the House, I was writing for Rush Limbaugh. Talent on loan from God. I was just reminiscing as I was walking around the building here. I was in my 20s when I started writing for Rush, and when Gingrich was speaker, I was still in my 20s. And I would send Rush a bit and I would send it to Johnny Donovan and send him the work parts and my voice parts and then the music and all of that. And then, you know, we fed exit real to reel with my voice parts and whatnot. Fed Exit. Right. This is back in the 90s and then, then send the script and the whole deal. He put it together and I would wait. One of the biggest thrills of my life was knowing or waiting to see if he was going to start his show with a piece of my comedy. And, and he would, frequently when I'd send him a bit, he would open the show with it, and it was just like everything in my life just stopped. I'd be in the car and I just stop waiting for Rush to play that bit. And when he did, and then Johnny called me and go play it, Robbie played. I said, I heard it, Johnny. I heard it, man. And it was, it was a really, it was a really big deal. But I was. Was writing for Rush pretty hot and heavy when Newt Gingrich was the speaker of the House and Newt Gingrich was the response to Bill Clinton. Now, Bill Clinton lost both houses of Congress for the Democrats for the first time in 40 years. For you guys who are maybe millennials or Gen Z, I'll just give you a little history here. Democrats had control of both houses of Congress for 40 years, and along came Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary. And Hillary wanted to socialize medicine, and she started acting like she was elected to do something. And he ended up losing both houses of Congress because of that. So he had to come back to the middle, and Newt Gingrich was there. Newt Gingrich basically came up with his Contract for America, which balanced the budget. I ended up getting a check. I remember getting a check. It was like 1995. I got a government check and I was employed, but there was a surplus because we had, we had balanced the budget and we got 600 bucks. By the way, Donald Trump's talking about sending everybody $2,000. I'll get to that in a second. But, but anyway, Duke Gingrich was the, was the speaker of the House back then. And, you know, it was pretty interesting time. That was when the, the parties could work together, I guess, to some degree. They didn't complete. The Democrats didn't go completely off the deep end until a little bit later on. And now they're, I mean, honestly just completely lost. And as I referred to earlier with Tony Kenned, there is really no saving the Democrat Party at this point. All you can do as a Democrat right now is wait for it to die and then pick up the pieces, leave it, or, you know, insist that it change the Democrat Party. Right now, the crazies who are in charge, they think they have some sort of sway and the party may lurch left, but it's not going to be in power as long as it continues to do that. So as I mentioned, it's either going to have to reinvent itself or disability disappear into the dustbin of history. Right now, they're disappearing into the dustbin of history. This is Newt Gingrich talking about a shutdown which he endured, actually, when he was speaker of the House. And who owns this one?

[Rob Carson]

Country doesn't want to give billions to illegal immigrants. Country doesn't want to give billions to guys who won't go to work. Country doesn't want to give billions to people who are, in fact, crooks. So the Democrats are jumping up and saying, if I yell health care, you'll be too stupid to know what I'm doing.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Right?

[Rob Carson]

And if I decide I'm going to stop the government, you won't figure out I did it. This is the shoes. This is literally, I think you have to start with the idea this is the Schumer shutdown. That's what this is about. And they're not going to get away.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You've got a lot of, a lot of things coming together. And you may recall me saying that, you know, we've been through 30 plus years of conservative apartheid in our country. And Rush Limbaugh endured this. He couldn't get sponsors or people would, would boycott his sponsors. He couldn't buy an NFL team because they ganged up on him and threatened the Rams and called him a, all of this stuff. And, and that's the way it's been. But that is starting to fall. Finally, we just saw this new poll that shows 28% of people have faith or some faith in the major media, abc, cbs, NBC, pbs, npr. So they're, they're on their death knells right now. They're, they're in the middle of it right now. And, and this is positive because when it comes to things like the shutdown, they used to just be able to say that it belongs to the Republicans and nobody believes it. New York Times the other day did a poll. 65% of New York Times readers say that it's a Democrat shutdown. So it's not going to work very well. And so what are they doing? They're focusing on a meme. Is it a meme? I do memes all the time. Is it a gif? What the hell is it? It's a video. It's a video that somebody on Donald Trump's staff put together with Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero. Because, see, 20 million people came across the southern bor. And the southern border is on Mexico, you see, And Hakeem Jeffries is down, and the Democrats are down with giving free health care to illegals. So we put a sombrero on Hakeem Jeffries because it's comedy, you see? And the left is still trying this. This bullcrap like wearing a sombrero if you're not Mexican is racist. That. That came out a few years ago. You couldn't wear a sombrero anymore. You couldn't celebrate Cinco de Mayo, wear a sombrero. And it was. It was completely idiotic. It was just absolutely stupid. It's like if you told Mexican guys, hey, you can't wear cowboy hats, man. You got to just wear authentic Mexican garb. You can only wear those ponchos with the lines across it. And you can only wear a sombrero. That's it. Right? That doesn't make any sense. It's just stupid because you're not making fun of Mexican culture. You're celebrating Mexican culture when you wear a sombrero. It's kind of cool, you know? But anyway, here is Natasha Alford on. On MSNBC and right now, or cnn. She just sounds old, dated, and people are done with this.

[Mary Walter]

But the thing, the. The flip side of that is that the racism, the sort of privilege that.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Comes with mocking the privilege and racism and all that, nobody believes this crap anymore.

[Mary Walter]

Entire group of people, right? Putting a sombrero on somebody.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah, so what? Who cares?

[Mary Walter]

Which traditionally has sometimes been used as a stereotype for Latinos.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Latino. She even said it. She's not even Latino. And she just said, let said Latino.

[Mary Walter]

You do that. It all.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

That is worse racism than anything. If you're just a. She's an African American woman, by the way, and out of nowhere she just says Latino. I'd say that's pretty racist, actually.

[Mary Walter]

So reveals the privilege that you are sitting in as you do that, as you have someone like a J.D. vance.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

This is why you have 28% is even worse. Fewer people trust CNN. Here's John Berman and Kaitlyn Collins, and they can't believe that. That J.D. vance and Donald Trump didn't immediately take down that video because some people were supp. Supposedly offended. And honestly, we're over that crap now.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

So we played sound from Vice President Vance. Not just defending that AI racist video.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Of manor leader Jeffries warning a sombrero, but also, like celebrating that video.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

And it was playing on a loop in the briefing room today.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

What are you hearing from the inside about that? I Love this.

[Reporter or Correspondent]

It was not only just playing on a loop in the briefing room. If you've never been in the press briefing room, for those who haven't, there are loudspeakers overhead so you can hear announcement.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

I am not hearing Mexican panelists here discussing whether it's racist or not. Do you guys hear any Mexican panelists here in this discussion about the sombrero.

[Reporter or Correspondent]

Being racist or what's being said, or if there is an event going on with the president in the Rose Garden, for example? They were playing that. That mariachi music as well over the loudspeaker.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Juan Alvarado from Mexico City on the phone. Just do a live shot. Just do a live shot with Juan and just see if he thinks it's. It's racist. I don't think he will.

[Reporter or Correspondent]

For all the press that was coming in and out of the White House today, inside the press briefing room, it just kind of gives you a window into how they're dealing with this and how they believe they have the upper hand when it comes to the.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah, they do have the upper hand. Because honestly, we're done with all this nonsense. We're done with this censorship. We're done with this everybody being butthurt about everything. I've been talking about this forever. We live in the greatest country in the world because of the First Amendment, backed up by the Second Amendment. And if you are offended, you should be grateful that you can be offended. You should be grateful. You should be able to grateful. You should. You could say things that are offensive. You know, what the Democrats, you know, did to our speech. Remember? Remember, they called our speech a offensive. Then they said our words are weapons. Then they said our words are disinformation and misinformation. Then they shut us down. You see? You see how that goes? So this is a rejection, this wearing the sombrero. We're done. Screw you. Screw you. I may just wear. I might wear a sombrero to the gym, for God's sake. I just might wear a sombrero everywhere I go. I'm gonna replace ball cap with a sombrero because people are done with this crap. We're done with it. It is such a glorious day. Like I said, conservative apartheid is falling and the censorship industrial complex is falling and the trust in the liberal media is dead. And you can thank Rush Limbaugh for starting that and getting the ball rolling. Just like the Berlin Wall fell after Ronald Reagan left office, just after the Berlin Wall fell after Margaret Thatcher left office and Lack Walezza left office. All of this is happening because Rush Limbaugh, and unfortunately he left the planet. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

Fasten your seatbelt deep state it's gonna be a bumpy ride. It's the Rob Carson Show. There's a digital billboard that said Memphis, we welcome the National Guard.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

How does that make you guys feel?

[Rob Carson]

You know, that doesn't surprise me at all.

[Mary Walter]

At all. I do believe that the guards coming here is really necessary because this needs cleaning up.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Mary Walter]

You know, it's just so dangerous that you can't get out of your car, you can't go to the grocery store.

[Rob Carson]

The idea that there is a square inch of funk in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable. This is Memphis. This is the United States of America. And all that bull is done. It's over.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

It's finished. We don't want them here.

[Rob Carson]

We do not than a year.

[Mary Walter]

You can run, but you can't hide.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

We're coming after you.

[Mary Walter]

We're going to find you.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Get ready, you're going to prison.

[Rob Carson]

And now they're looking at what happened in Washington to say we want that security, we want that safety here in Memphis. It's a proud city. These are proud people that love that city. So they're welcoming the National Guard and it is the Tennessee National Guard. It's their fellow members of their state securing that city. They have welcomed us. We're glad to be here for them.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Look around.

[Rob Carson]

And so what he's saying, he's hoping that this action by Trump will help make this city safer. Over our dead bodies are even that way anymore. It's not happening. I see the guns and back in this room you are unleashed. The handcuffs that you're tearing, they don't mind you anymore. You're other criminals. And whatever you need to get it done, we're gonna get it done.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

There you go. So Memphis is the next city that the federal government is going in to clean up. And it's going to work beautifully. See, I. I mentioned to you that it would take a very long time for us to recognize the profundity of November 5th. And look what we're seeing. Conservative apartheid falling. And now the Democrat plantation in America's in inner cities. Yeah, that's a perfect analogy, by the way. People in America's inner cities under Democrat rule, kept ignorant, kept needy, kept filled with grievance. That's what's worked for them for many years. And now they're damn tired of it. Now they're just sick and damn tired of it. People in America's inner cities are done with the bullcrap and they are welcoming, welcoming the National Guard to come in. They've already cleaned up Washington D.C. i've lived here three months, two weeks in they sent in the National Guard. It is absolutely stunning. I was in there the other night. I went to this wonderful event. Article three, Project Safe as can be. No homeless people shooting up, no nonsense, no homeless encampments, no people coming up and threatening and all that. It's a clean city unlike Portland. Going into Portland next, here is State Representative Justin Pearson from Tennessee who in his last dying throes as a, as a member of a representative, I should say is still using old tire rhetoric calling Stephen Miller, calling Stephen Miller the great Stephen Miller, you know, white supremacist, particularly cities with black leadership. Stephen Miller is known white nationalist and supports white supremacist ideology. That's an absolute lie. That is an absolute fricking filthy lie. And so the fact that our city is going to be targeted that my.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

Constituents and people who I care for.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Don't you suppose those, those guards and those guard towers as the Berlin Wall came down they were a little nervous. They're like what's going to happen to us? And the, and the Soviets are like oh there's nothing happening over there. There's nothing happening over there. Stay right here. Because honestly once that western influence comes in here, it's going to be terrible, you know, and then, and then the wall came down and the light shone through and freedom happened. And that's what's happening in American inner cities. It is a glorious, glorious thing. And the same thing has happened with antifa in Portland. Been run over. Portland's been controlled by these childish Marxists who are about to get their rear ends handed to them. I love it. I love watching a good antifa getting beaten. It just puts a smile on my face. One of these punks who act so, you know, self important and then they can be violent and whatnot and the police can't do anything about it because they've been whipp by the, by the people in power presumably. Karen's like the governor of state of Oregon who is a Karen who is, I call her Graciel Mad, mad cow. Anyway, here is a little montage of what's going on in Portland.

[Rob Carson]

Ladies trying to get through the streets.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah, we're done with this. Done with this. What's your message to these protesters, ma'? Am?

[Mary Walter]

Get a job.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Get a job.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they're all out here drinking at night. They're all getting drunk. They're all on drugs. All the Antifa members go to his house and have. They have parties. They get drunk. Yeah. This is what they do. They pay them to come out. They pay homeless people to get drunk out here.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

So it's an organization. Turning Point usa. This is what we have to see.

[Mary Walter]

You.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You think Charlie Kirk deserves to die? Yes or no? That's the point. Honestly, he's kind of fascist, so I would say yes.

[Reporter or Correspondent]

What's your message to the right wing?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Them?

[Rob Carson]

They're ruining the whole community. School got shut down. Just built. People are afraid to come out of their houses here. I want the beds here. I want the tanks and the. Yeah, I'm just sick of it, man.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

So you want the feds to come through here and get rid of all these protests?

[Rob Carson]

Hell yes.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

How are we going to have my community back?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

There you go. And it's happening, by the way. And these guys have been declaring a civil war on the country. Antiva's been declaring a civil war. They had their little fortresses where they retreat and the police can't go. And all of this. This is over. This is over. They're going down. They're going down, baby. It's a great day in America. Here is Jim Gossett as the president going into home. Impost.

[Rob Carson]

I am sending troops to Memphis, Tennessee.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Gotta clean it up.

[Rob Carson]

Cause it looks. Looks like Memphis could use some help from me. The mayor has done nothing to put criminals away. Memphis needs our help and they need it there today.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Gonna do what they did to Washington.

[Rob Carson]

D.C. cities run by Democrats who defunded police.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

That was dumb.

[Rob Carson]

They can't do their jobs or maintain the peace.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Dad's home.

[Rob Carson]

I'm sending in the guards. Memphis needs it.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Bad time for a spanking.

[Rob Carson]

Their mayor, Paul Young. That guy's really sad. Voted the most dangerous place in the usa.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Oh, yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Wouldn't want to live there. Wouldn't want to stay. Sending in the garden. Thackle. It was mine. Dennard Brad in Memphis. Listen to them whining.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah. They're trying to stand in the schoolhouse doors once again. Prevent the light from shining through. It's the exact same modus operandi as Jim Crow. Democrats still doing the same thing. The same thing. It hasn't changed since the Civil War. The Democrat Party has been doing this crap since the Civil War. And they see their doom. I believe this is Coulter Wall. Some of that good new country music. Oh, my goodness. It's so good. Mary Walter joins Us next. I got a pile of stuff to get to her with. It's gonna be entertaining, I guarantee.

[Mary Walter]

Don't go anywhere.

[Rob Carson]

Mary Had a Little Lamb.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

I just kind of like the vibe of this song. Rather than searching for a new Mary song every week, I just kind of like this one because Mary's pretty cool. Mary Gwalter. How you doing on this Friday?

[Mary Walter]

I'm feeling cool. It's the Mongos.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah. Almost as cool as my Led Zeppelin print that I just ordered for the apartment. I know you. I knew you'd be excited when I.

[Mary Walter]

Told you that, you know, I didn't know. I didn't know you were shopping in the, you know, middle aged life, you know, life crazy. I've been living Amazon.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

I've been living, you know, I've been married for, since 1998 and with my wife since 1994. And, you know, I'm embracing my, you know, previously toxic masculinity. And so I'm, I'm, you know, I'm decorating, making the house look my way. I got a beautiful Led Zeppelin print on canvas for the loft that features Jimmy Page and Robert Plan. I'm on stage from the song Remains the Same. It's actually quite lovely.

[Mary Walter]

What is the waterbed being delivered. Does that come with the I've given up on any kind of female affection? Oh, no, no.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

The waterbed's already in there. I had to have the engineers come and make sure that the apartment floor could hold it. And it's. It takes about three days to fill from the faucet.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah. And then, and then you get the. A muffled Harley that comes with the I've given up package. Yeah.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You know, I think women gave up on me before I gave up on them. Mary is to be the truth. I. I gotta tell you, honestly, that's what this is, just a response, girlfriend. This isn't. I'm not. This isn't an offensive shot here. This is, this is purely defensive. This is just reaction.

[Mary Walter]

Oh, it's totally defensive. You are defending yourself against any kind of female human interaction in that apartment ever.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You know what? I did have kind of a date the other day and.

[Mary Walter]

Wait, does she know that?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

I don't think she does. She thought we just went for a walk anyway.

[Mary Walter]

Kind of.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

No, she had no clue. No clue. But, but no. Wonderful person, but very, very, you know, fit and very focused on. She's one of the people who like food that's absolutely taboo, will not eat certain things. And she said she would never consider eating a slice of pizza. And I went, it's over. I can't. You know, and I could be choosy that way. Like I have any other choice. But. But, you know, if you can't eat a slice of pizza, you know, that's not gonna work. It's not gonna work, Mary.

[Mary Walter]

Okay, so. So you're at the age.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yes.

[Mary Walter]

Where you might want to relax the standards just a little bit and say, you know. You know, because the. The pool is. The dating pool is not deep unless. Unless you start to date men and then you double it. But, yeah, you know, if she won't eat pizza, that's fine, but that just makes. Means there's more pizza for you.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

That's a good point, actually.

[Mary Walter]

Right. So you can still eat pizza. That doesn't mean she has to. She can enjoy her bowl of gruel or whatever. You still have pizza.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

See, that's a good idea.

[Mary Walter]

You can't just say, boom, that's it.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

All right, all right. Well, we'll see.

[Mary Walter]

A little flexible. Look at what she's got to put up with. Blue disco lights. A disco ball. Felix is back in her prom date's bedroom.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

All right, so let's talk here, the judge in the Sean P. Diddy Combs case, leaning towards six years. Did you read the letter that he wrote to the judge this morning?

[Mary Walter]

No, I was on the air. I did not. Sorry.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah, he wrote, and it's. I mean, it really is. It's. I mean, it's heartfelt in all of this, but. But sooner or later, you got to be punished. You got to be punished. He says, I lost my way. I got lost in my money, lost in drugs and excess. My downfall was rooted in selfless selflessness. I've been humbled and broken to the core. The old me dialed in jail and new version of me was reborn. He. He started teaching in college or in college in. In the joint, teaching kids, people who are there to, you know, be businessmen and whatnot. His head, kind of spiritual rebirth. Written this entire piece, and, you know, and I was reading it, and honestly, it sounds like he is a man who obviously has taken everything away from him. He's lost the chance to see his family, his kids grow. He's got a lot of kids. Kids, but at the same time, you kind of got to be punished for the deeds you do. What are your thoughts on.

[Mary Walter]

Let me ask you, what exactly was he convicted for? Because they threw a lot of stuff out.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

A lot of it has to do with trafficking women across state lines. I guess that's part of it.

[Mary Walter]

Okay. So because I knew, I know the women that he was accused of raping and this and that said that, you know, we weren't forced to do anything. We chose that, you know, like. Yeah, and so like listen, whatever you do, you know, unless you publicly tell me about it on the radio, in which case. Or you post the pictures. Like is it someone who posts every aspect of their life? Like you're gonna comment, you know, you know, if that's he choose to have these freak offs and live that lifestyle. If everybody's consenting, well then you know the drug. Drugs illegal. Maybe you're trafficking children or women across state lines. I would think is more than six years. That's just me. But from what I've read and I haven't gone too deeply into it. I'll be honest with you. Yeah, neither of us, you know. Yeah. Because I'm just like. I'm more interested in the royals at this point. The Harry and his dad thing. But I, you know, you may lead what we consider a disgusting lifestyle, but that's not criminal.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, he did some things that were. Were illegal. But you know, I don't know, I saw the letter. I almost had a little bit of sympathy for him. I just kind of wonder you. His dad was murdered when he was three, by the way. I don't know that his mother is. Had a stroke. She's 84 years old. She's, you know, dying I guess and whatever. I felt a little mercy for him. But you know, at the same time you got to be punished for your wrongdoing. Did you hear about the household brand? Have you ever. What kind of coffee do you drink, Mary? Whatever's on sale says your coffee giant, Maxwell House. I'm not kidding. Are you ready for this? Changing its name temporarily to Maxwell Apartment. I'm not kidding. It sounds like a punchline. It sounds like a punchline to in nod to the one third of Americans who rent their homes rather than purchasing them. They're going to call it Maxwell Apartment. The coffee is the same Maxwell joke. No, it's not. This is actual. This is a real story. They're offering a 12 month lease on its coffee allowing customers to save a little money while stocking up on a full year supply of coffee. So you can, you can. Basically it's a coffee subscription for a year. So you're, you're. It's like a lease. I'm not kidding. This is what they're calling it.

[Mary Walter]

See. Okay. A lot of things like. So clearly sales are sagging. Right? Those like standard brands. Yeah, forever. But they're not part of the whole, you know, crafty toity stuff. Right. And yeah, I like coffee, but I'm not one of these people who's paying, you know, 35 a pound for coffee. That's just not happening in my world. Right.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yes, yes.

[Mary Walter]

That's just not me. But I think, what if they're trying to get people to buy coffee in advance to try to, like, front load their sales? Don't change the name of your product. This seems to me like the firm that just got fired by Cracker Barrel, the PR firm that redid your image. It sounds like Maxwell House got them at a discount.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah. Profit is the name of the company. Profit. P R O P H E T. Kind of a little irony. A little irony there. A little prophetic that they would be fired and also cause their profits to go down. See what I just did there? Because I'm super smart that way. You know, I was thinking, if. If sales, if Kamala Harris would have gotten an office, they would have had to come up with Maxwell refrigerator box because you'd be living in it or Maxwell homeless. And then maybe you should come up with Maxwell psycho roommate. Since you're going to have an apartment, you might be ready for that. I'm just saying.

[Mary Walter]

Box of wine. Yes.

[Rob Carson]

There you go.

[Mary Walter]

Have a box of wine. We'll travel.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

There you go. On the other side of the break, I'm going to talk about Gatorade, Cheetos, Mountain Dew, getting rid of all their artificial dyes and whatnot. Then I want to get your thoughts on. On the pope, Pope Leo and Dick Durbin and all. I know you got some thoughts on that because I do too. I'm not happy with this pope. Not happy with this pope. We're gonna get to that. On the other side of the break, more with Mary Walter. Don't go anywhere. More with great Mary Walter in one moment, I was just sitting here watching the price of gold. At the beginning of that commercial stop set, the gold price was $3,909 and some change. @ the end of the stop set, it is $3,910.70. That's what gold is doing right now. It's up 42% this year. When are you gonna finally listen to me? I'm not mean to come down on you. I'm not married to you, for crying out loud. You know, that's what my wife used to do. But anyway, enough of my emotional baggage.

[Rob Carson]

But.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

But when are you going to do. When you're going to text my name, Rob to 989-8984. Birch Gold. Okay. Oh, here we are. Where are we now? All right, $3,910.80. Now, while I'm talking here, the price of gold is going up, guys. 73% of world banks are investing in gold, which means it's going to be scarcer and scarcer and scarcer, which means the price is going up and up and up. Last year when I started talking to you about gold, I've been talking to you about birch gold for a weeks of couple years. You know, we were $2,500 last year. Now we're pushing $4,000. Here's what you got to do. Just text my name. Rob to 989-898. Rob to 989-890 8. Birch Gold will send you information. No obligation whatsoever. But I've never felt this way about gold. Gold has always been considered the snuggie of investments. It's like kind of comforting, whatever, but it's red hot right now and there's no end in sight. So text my name, Rob to 989-898 to Birch Gold. Get the information going and get in on gold before it's too late and you can't afford to get in. There you go, Mary. Walter. You know, I did go to church for the first time in four years. In all seriousness, I did go to the Catholic church. There's a basilica. It's called a basilica. It's not really like a fancy basilica. High vaulted ceilings. It's a lovely little church up here in old town Alexandria. And I felt very close to my faith, closer than I have felt in a very long time. Then things like the Pope being down with Dick Durbin getting a lifetime achievement award and then also basically saying that speaking out against anti immigrant sentiment in the United States, which it isn't, by the way. It's not anti immigrant. It's anti illegal grant as well as Defense Secretary Pete Hegsen. This rhetoric about making us strong again. When he starts to show his politics, I mean, he's not Francis, but I'm not happy about this. What do you think about the Pope? You're closer to the faith than I am, my dear. What do you think?

[Mary Walter]

Well, you know, he's a man when it comes to. He's not infallible when it comes to anything outside of the religious. Well, outside of doctrine. So he can be fallible and can be criticized. When he decided to decides to spout off on politics and I don't let a man keep me away from my faith. So people say, well, I'm not gonna go to church because I don't like the Pope. I'm like, great. He's not there. So I'm not quite sure why. Why you would let someone like that come between you and God. Why would you let someone.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Well, there's a lot of things with the Catholic Church that kind of have ticked me off, to be quite honest. One of them is Catholic Charities.

[Mary Walter]

So what?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Catholic Charities, for one thing. Trafficking children across the southern border. And then Francis, a rabid socialist, being in charge of the Catholic Church. Sorry, I get a little up, you know, I get a little mad about it. Of course, of course.

[Mary Walter]

But you know what? Listen, I tell you, like, don't donate to Catholic Charities. Stop donating them. Find a better charity that you like that more aligns. But just. But, you know, again, they're not infallible when it comes to political and social issues.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah.

[Mary Walter]

And so it's fine to criticize, and it's fine to walk away from them in those. In those situations. And, you know, we. My husband and I, teach pre Cana, or one of the couples that does pre Cana. And we tell the couples, like, look, look, you know, it's. You're. Gonna. You and your spouse are gonna have arguments, but you gotta learn how to pick your arguments, number one. And number two, they're not gonna be perfect. You're not perfect. You do things in life that you look back on and go, well, that was dumb. Or, that was a mistake. I thought I was right, but it was the wrong thing to do. So I give the same grace to the Pope or to my priest or whomever. Listen, I go to church here, and my priest and I butt heads all the time. His sermons are way too long, so I time them. When I come out of mass, I show him on my phone. 14 minutes, Father.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Too long.

[Mary Walter]

He gets mad at me, and I do it every week. That's just the way that's our relationship.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah. Yeah. That's good.

[Mary Walter]

He pays attention. Once you get past, like, six minutes. I'm just saying.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yeah, blah, blah, blah. Just becomes blah, blah, blah after that. Man. Come on.

[Mary Walter]

He's a human being.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Yes.

[Mary Walter]

And he's not infallible. So you don't let human beings come between you and your God. That's it. That's where I am.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Well, there you go. You know what? That's actually a delightful perspective from you. I appreciate that. I really do, actually.

[Mary Walter]

And I'm glad that you enjoyed it. And you got something out of it. And don't let you know, man come between you and God.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You know, the thing, Marian, and I'm. You know, we usually joke around a lot, and obviously we have this kind of big sis. Little brother. Why are you the little brother?

[Mary Walter]

Why am I the big sister?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Because you're the big sister. You're your big sister. Correcting me when I'm, you know, little boy.

[Mary Walter]

You're gonna wind up with a woman who's a dominatrix. This is on the screen, is on the tracks.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Ooh, wait a minute. Can I put that in my Match profile?

[Mary Walter]

And you're not gonna have to pay for it. That's all I'm gonna say.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You know, but no, I. I went to. I went to church, and I've been a couple times. And. And I also. What even more valuable than the. The actual sitting in the mass is going there and being in the sanctuary by myself. And it has meant so much to me to go in there and medicate. Medicate, medicate, meditate, meditate. I don't medicate anymore, but. But it has meant a lot to me. And I think we're in a spiritual rebirth in. In the country and around the world. And I think it's. And I think it's very positive. I really do. I think it's very positive.

[Mary Walter]

It is. The question is, can you stay quiet long enough to actually meditate?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

It is very hard.

[Mary Walter]

Does God tell you to shut up?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

If God had a problem with me talking, I would have been struck by lightning a long time ago.

[Mary Walter]

Mary, my list of prayers. Hold on.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

All right, I gotta go. You gotta go where could people listen to your podcast and find you on social media? Mary?

[Mary Walter]

Walter, podcasts are On Tuesday night, 7:15pm Eastern time, live on YouTube. Rumble and getter. My guest this week is Barry Morgenstein, the famous photographer. He's the king of headshots. But in a previous life, he got to photograph rock and rollers like.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Like Led Zeppelin.

[Mary Walter]

What?

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Like Led Zeppelin. Did he take that picture? Could I get him to sign it?

[Mary Walter]

He very well may have. He's got a coffee table book coming out with all of these Pictures of Paul McCartney and Prince and Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and all of these concerts that he photographed up close and personal. Wouldn't it be weird Contact. You should have them on.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Wouldn't it be weird if the print that I ordered is a Barry Morgenstern shot? Because if it is, I want it signed. That's fantastic. Oh, my God. What a great way to End the interview. Mary.

[Mary Walter]

Go to your bedroom to find it. That's kind of creepy.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

No, I just say you want to go see my Led Zeppelin picture? Anyway, let's take a break and come back. Mary, God bless you. Talk to you soon. This is the Rob Carson Show. Did you one of the one of the hottest clips of the week is Josh Hawley Shreya Gregory Jackson. He was a gun control violence prevention department or gun gun violence prevention department under Biden and he spewed a bunch of nonsense from this report that he did.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

Which is what this says this.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

All of this crap that he's this, this, this nonsense about two spirit is gone, is dead. It's already toast the entire time.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

This is so typical of what the Democrats do now after your policies have transparent apparently failed and led to the deaths of millions of Americans. Now you say you've never heard of defunding the police. Your own report recommends it on page after page after page. Let me ask about something else. You say what here's what you say we ought to invest in. Instead of funding the police, here's what we ought to invest in. What we do need to invest in programs that acknowledge the need for safe space initiatives led by lesbian, gay, bisexual, 2spirit trans and gender non conforming people. What's 2spirit? Well look, I don't know exactly.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

You got vodka and gin as a.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

Pull in some some interesting quotes. This is from your report.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

If you look at the report the.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

Focus is on investing in violence intervention outreach workers. Why does you say that's all faculty.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Lounge gobbledygook by the way.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

Say that you shouldn't invest in the police but we ought to invest in two Spirit spirit community programs that acknowledge two slur. We are not going to discriminate that we're not going to discriminate against any nonprofit. What is two spirit? What is two spirit? You say don't fund the police but do fund programs that create safe spaces for two spirit people.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

What is what what is?

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

I just want to know. I don't know what that is. I have no idea what that is. Well I, I honestly I'm not completely aware of the language. You wrote the report written. But what I'm telling you is that what we what is a two spirit individual. I mean really.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Wait. He tries to drop a bomb on Holly and Holly has his ass rearing for lunch.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

This is your pol. This is your policymakers playbook.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Here it is.

[Guest or Interviewee (possibly a political commentator)]

You are the witness called by the Democrats on this committee. So I assume you reflect their views well you don't want to fund the police. You want to fund safe spaces for two spirit individuals. What is a two spirit person? I feel like I'm looking at a two faced individual because you talk about reducing. You're looking at somebody who's reading your own words and I'd like to hear an answer.

[Rob Carson (continued or main host)]

Oh I love this. I love this. All of this nonsense that the Democrat party has tried to force fee us that has been bull crap for years is finally being confronted. That man is an embarrassment. He made an embarrassment of himself when he was working for the Biden administration and now he's really embarrassing. Oh my goodness. We've got another hour of the show. Venezuela is in some serious hot agua that is coming up and you guys as well. The last hour of the Rob Carson Joe is right ahead on a Friday. Friday. Do not go anywhere. This is the right morning. Zoe got donuts.
