Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The State of Faith and Good vs. Evil in America

  Rob remarks on Easter week, mass Christian gatherings abroad, and Christian persecution, segueing into a broader reflection on the spiritual and cultural battles shaping 2024 and beyond:

• Segment Highlight: (02:14-07:09)

  “You saw a sea of overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly older, overwhelmingly female, affluent liberals.” — Jonathan Alpert (10:22) “They were just leaving their cul de sacs...to come out and hold a banner that somebody else has printed for them and talk about nothing.” — Rob Carson (11:58)

• Deeper Analysis:

  • Crowd is described as engaging in “symbolic management” (risk-free resistance).

• African-American Political Shifts: (26:34-28:54)
  Rob and Chris discuss the pressure on Black conservatives, Planned Parenthood’s presence in Black communities, and shifting generational attitudes toward party loyalty.

---

  “She puts on a fake accent when you catch her talking. Ghetto...She’s total fraud.” — Rob Carson (33:15)
  “It's insulting to African American voters because she feels that you got to talk down to them.” — Chris Arps (34:09)

Hold it.

[Chris Arps]

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.

This is the Rob Carson show, hour number three of the show on this Easter Wednesday, Easter Passover. It's a. It's a big. It's a big week. It's a. It's a really big week. It is. I. I can feel. I just watch on. On the Twitter and hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian Christians gathering in an unapologetic, Unapologetic explosion of faith. And there's a lot of murder of Christians happening in Sub Saharan Africa. I stick by my original prediction about what's happening in the world.

And.

And I said that 2024 was the reaction to the action of evil, because if you. If you believe in physics, you know that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And I believe that exists with. With karma, with. With good and evil. Good and evil, I think exists, you know, and I put a good deal of thought into it, by the way, over the years about God and faith, and. And I saw a lot of evil overtaking the world. You did, too. You did, too. You saw what we were up against over the years with censorship, with all the negative coverage, with the insanity of this transgender nonsense that came out of nowhere where children suddenly decided they wanted to be transgender. There was nothing organic about it. It was insanity. It was absolute insanity. And it was a psyop, and it left behind it a lot of children, friends who have a daughter who's a freaking mess. She's an absolute mess. She's angry, she's confused. She. She wanted to go through the. The transgender thing. She was scheduled to have her breasts removed. And, you know, and her parents are good conservatives, and they're like, we don't know what to do.

We.

We don't know what to do. And one day, after all of the, you know, just the insanity of it being told that you as a girl, you know, during COVID everything shut down, and they. They. They separated our kids and they destroyed their. Their lives with getting them out of school and. And all of that. And then on top of all that, they decided to say, oh, you know what, girls? You'd be much happier if you were. If you were a boy. And instead of it being like an insane thing to even consider the possibility of, you know, becoming a boy, which isn't possible, they ran with it. And everybody bought into it. Medical professionals bought into it. Medical professionals, doctors who should know. You cannot Become the opposite sex. It's not possible. All it is is cosmetic. All you're doing is cosmetic. All you're doing is mutilative. I mean, my God, as it was happening, I said, I said, Paging Dr. Mingela. Paging Dr. Mengele. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 against Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is an idiot. Ketanji Brown Jackson, who literally, when she was going through her Supreme Court nomination hearing, said she didn't know, couldn't tell you what a woman is. Stop everything and just think about that for a second. We descended into insanity so far that we, not we, but society in general. The Democrat Party decided there were more than one gender, and they couldn't tell you that a woman is an adult female. There is still no excuse for that. There's still no defending that. But Katanji Brown Jackson is so bloody stupid, she doesn't know it. Here is a little montage of her first year as a Supreme Court justice with her signature phrase.

[Ketanji Brown Jackson]

I don't understand. Can I just understand? And I don't understand. And so what I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand your argument. I'm just trying to understand your answer. I don't understand. I. I guess I don't understand. I guess I don't understand. I don't understand. And I'm just trying to understand. I don't understand, but I'm just trying to understand. I'm trying to understand. So I'm trying to understand. I'm sort of with Justice Kagan trying to understand.

[Rob Carson]

She's like the Supreme Court justice. It's like you're a dog when you know you. They recognize a couple words. Squirrel, outside, walk. You know, he can't say, I'm around there. They tilt their heads. And I think that's how. Ketanji Brown. Yeah, unapologetically. She's not a smart individual. So anyway, the lawsuit was filed by Christian talk therapist Kaylee Childs. Kayla Childs argued that Colorado's ban on her talk therapy methods violated her First Amendment rights. She was trying to tell kids you can't be. Be the opposite sex and you're just going to destroy your lives. But of course, these Nazis who've been in charge of our speech for so long and told us we couldn't say anything online about things like this and told us that we were suddenly transphobic. Transphobic. There's a word that just popped up in literally the last eight years or so. Non Binary just crept up out of nowhere. Non binary. It never existed before. It's nonsense. Under our precedence, bedrock First Amendment principles have for less salience when the speakers are medical professionals. Judge Jackson WROT the 8 to 1 decision in favor of therapist Kaylee Childs own on her claim brought by under the Constitution's First Amendment is likely to have national implications. More than 20 states have similar laws. Writing for the majority, Judge Neil Gorsuch said that the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country. That's what they forced it upon us. That's what, that's why they censored us online. They did that for a number of things. This was number one on the list. Here is Jonathan Turley on the decision and Ketanji Brown Jackson being the only justice who voted against it.

[Jonathan Turley]

Colorado has proven really a bonanza for the free speech community. They keep on trying to curtail free speech and getting these opinions that go in the opposite direction here. Colorado wanted to say that you couldn't go and speak to a counselor about these types of sexual orientation issues with your minor child and the court voted

[Rob Carson]

8 to 1 that that's they took your children from you. They said that you as a parent have no business. You know, they, they wouldn't let a 12 year old have a tattoo, but they would let a 12 year old have her healthy breast tissue removed and a hysterectomy and purity blockers. That's insane limitation on free speech.

[Jonathan Turley]

The unnerving aspect of the opinion proved to be the dissent by Justice Jackson who would have just sort of brushed aside the speech issues and treated all of this as conduct that can be eliminated or banned by the state.

[Rob Carson]

It's because she's an idiot. My God, Rahm Emanuel, who I'm not a fan of, I think he's a very dark individual. I'm talking about his soul here. He is talking about the Democrat Party and I know you're all freaking out because Donald Trump's public, his popularity is dropping. Another price of gas in the war and all this and all that. And I understand that, I understand that. But the Democrat party has nothing right now but anti Trump. Listen to Rahm Emanuel about how the Democrats lost their way and that includes the insane transgender nonsense.

[Rahm Emanuel]

We lost the plot. We as Democrats nationally, from Latinx to defunding the police to Latinx, they try

[Rob Carson]

to tell Hispanics that you had to go with Latin X instead of Latina and Latino didn't work out so well.

[Rahm Emanuel]

Organizations are all Racist to bringing a set of cultural wars to our schools. We are on the losing side of those cultural wars, full stop. You are worried about bathroom access and locker room access. Why don't you focus on classroom Excellence? You have 50% of our kids not reading at grade level.

[Rob Carson]

Well, they can just say we can do both.

[Rahm Emanuel]

You've proven you can because you've permitted a 30 year low in reading and math scores. And nobody seems to be calling the whistle on this. We've lost the plot.

[Rob Carson]

Why? Because you don't know. Do you not understand?

[Rahm Emanuel]

The party got unanchored. Every one of our most successful electoral presidents anchored themselves in what I call middle class values and values that are universal, at least in this country, ascribe to. We went from acceptance to advocacy. Yeah, big difference. And I'll just take one on that. I shouldn't. So here goes. I remember fighting for title nine. The reason we are champions in women's sports in the Olympics, in soccer, hockey, et is Title nine. Why would you undercut the premise of Title nine with the ability of trans men playing in women's sports?

[Rob Carson]

Because you went out of your friggin mind. We have to Trump. Please don't tell my children that I just did that. You get your musty hands off of our money or go to mouse town. You're nuts. You muster moo, moo, moo. They're trying to rob you and they're probably a minor. I'm shaking right now. I don't want to be here.

[Jonathan Turley]

I'm sorry.

[Chris Arps]

Am I taking too long?

[Rob Carson]

Pleading for my life?

Which side are you on? Which side are you on?

[Ketanji Brown Jackson]

Who should say how afraid of Trump I am?

[Rob Carson]

Can you wrap up, please?

[Chris Arps]

Yes.

[Rob Carson]

Department of Government Efficiency. You just remember it is the Department of Government Evil. What is the problem with those? What is the problem with. Yeah, you guys are insane. This is Jonathan Turley. I love Jonathan Turley. Talking about the Democrat Party. Listen to this. This is about. You know the no Kings protest that had. It was about nothing. It was about nothing. Listen to him.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Everywhere you looked across the country this weekend, you saw a sea of overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly older, overwhelmingly female, affluent liberals.

[Rob Carson]

Remember when Kamala Harris became the candidate? They made her the candidate. I said that her followers, the Democrat Party were insane cul de sac dwelling liberal Karens and the emasculated men in their lives. And I nailed it.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Gen Z, the generation the Democrats have been counting on to save them, to give them an unassailable electoral majority for the rest of the century, was nowhere to be found. Latinos the other demographic of which Democrats.

[Rob Carson]

Black people. Where were the black people at the no Kings. They weren't there.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Built their entire future. Also nowhere to be found. These two demographics in particular that the Democrat Party has staked everything on had literally zero interest in this feeble political stunt.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jonathan Alpert]

And the crowd that did show up.

[Chris Arps]

Yeah.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Interestingly, they represented what social psychologists call symbolic management of protests.

[Rob Carson]

Listen to this. This proves that the protest was about nothing.

[Jonathan Alpert]

In other words, nobody's putting their livelihood at risk. Nobody's facing real consequences for their participation.

[Rob Carson]

No.

[Jonathan Alpert]

The shutdown of what's called life choices. Nobody's sacrificing anything to do this. Just comfortable, affluent, white elder liberals performing resistance to maintain their self image as progressive activists.

[Rob Carson]

100%. That's what it was about. Martin Luther King Jr. Got beaten the hell beat out of him a number of times, was hospitalized and imprisoned. These people are just leaving their cul de sacs or their retirement communities to come out and hold a banner that somebody else has printed for them and talk about nothing. I mean, unbelievable. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. This fall, you're invited to experience Washington, D.C. in a truly unforgettable way with me, Rob Carson and other newsmax listeners. Imagine strolling through our nation's capital as America celebrates 250 years and seeing history come alive with an expert guide. Together, we'll tour the White House Visitor center, step into the halls of democracy with a guided tour of the U.S. capitol building, visit Arlington National Cemetery and the Changing of the Guard, stand in awe before the towering figure of President Abraham Lincoln, and take in the beauty of DC's legendary memorials with a special nighttime illumination tour. Our adventure includes premium hotel accommodations for four nights in the heart of D.C. in addition to six meals, ground transportation, guides and gratuities. Space is limited, so don't wait. Visit travelwithrob.net to book your DC getaway today or give our friends at Cruise and Tour a call at 800-383-3131. That's 800-383-3131 or travelwithrob.net. But in most places on Earth, they believe that your rights come from your government and from your laws. But ours was founded on the belief that your rights come from your creator and from God. That's because they do. They absolutely do. And, you know, we know this well, actually, we're the only country in the world. We are. We're the ones who said, you know, really, honestly, our rights come from God. Because if they come from man, man can take them away. Yeah, you've heard this before. I want to play a little more of us. Of Stephen. Jonathan Turley. No, I was getting confused. Jonathan Turley is Stephen Turley. Stephen Turley's the. The academic. Jonathan Turley's on Fox News. They're both great, by the way, but Stephen Turley was on talking about the no Kings and what it is to the people who went out. And, you know, it can be dispiriting to see, you know, 8 million, whatever people being paid to go out and do these protests, and they're claiming all this momentum and everything, and it's difficult. And then they were on there, they were taunting us this week, saying, well, why weren't you out? Why weren't you pro Trumpers out? Well, because we have a freaking job. Because we would rather, you know, live the life, live free, go to church, I don't know, spend the weekend with our families than going out to stupid, mindless protests. How about that, you guys? I mean, you morons, what the hell? But anyway, listen to Steven, Steven Turley about who was out at no Kings and why they were a New York

[Jonathan Alpert]

psychotherapist named Jonathan Alpert who wrote an op ed critically diagnosing the last no Kings rally several months back.

[Rob Carson]

And this goes to the. The argument that they're insane, because they're

[Jonathan Alpert]

insane reappeared this weekend and gave a pretty fascinating assessment of the whole ordeal. He does indeed confirm that many of these participants in these rallies are indeed suffering from neurosis. The people came out, many of them

[Rob Carson]

elderly people, don't wear frog costumes and hippopotamus costumes and dress like bananas and wear red lipstick as men, if you freaking sane.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Many of them retired.

[Rob Carson]

They admitted they were rolling people out in wheelchairs. I don't even know if they knew where the hell they were. That's what they were doing to fill up the. The protests on camera.

[Jonathan Alpert]

That they couldn't enjoy a vacation.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Jonathan Alpert]

They couldn't enjoy time with their family or their loved ones, all because of their psychotic fixation with Donald Trump. And so the psychologists argued that these people are not protesting. No, they're medicating. Interesting. Yeah, they're not protesting. They're medicating. They're using a political rally the way an addict uses a substance for temporary relief, for the dopamine hit of collective grievance, for the illusion of doing something meaningful while their movement quietly collapses all around them. And for me, what was most fascinating, this analysis is that the psychologists diagnosed politics as a form of religion to

[Rob Carson]

these protests because they don't believe in God, a lot of them.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Right. Politics has become the new religion of the radical left. And in many respects, I have to say, there it is.

[Rob Carson]

There it is. There it is. I couldn't agree more. They're mentally ill. People don't behave like this as adults if they're sane. I mean, just look at the footage. Dear God. I mean, honestly, we are not this separated from reality. We don't know. These freaking people are nuts. Eric Swalwell is very mad. Eric swallows. Well, very mad. Because, you know, he. He banged a Chinese spy. Did I say that? Yeah, I said it. He banged a Chinese spy named Fang Fang for years. And he. And he ended up working at the CIA, overseeing the CIA, even though he was banging a Chinese spy, literally, Chinese spy, spy that, you know, once it was discovered, the Chinese government, Communist Party took her out of the country, in other words, ordered Chinese takeout. And now he's really mad that Cash Patel's going to look into it. And he says it's the worst thing, the worst of abuse, abuse by the FBI since J.F.

j. Edgar Hoover meant to try and smear a political opponent. It's just absurd. It's absolutely absurd. But is my lawyer, one of our lawyers, told me today, and this really kind of stops you right in your tracks. He said, if they do this, it'll be the greatest abuse of power by an FBI director since J. Edgar Hoover. And so those are the who kind

of had the same syndrome that Kristi Noem's husband has. Yeah, kind of that. This is Jonathan Turley talking about. ERIC Swallows.

[Jonathan Turley]

Well, as long as the government complies with operative statutes like the Privacy act and removes material that's protected, it's usually really left to the government as to the release of this type of information. And I don't think he'll succeed in just blocking it entirely.

[Rob Carson]

Why is he trying to block it? A couple of years ago, he said, there's nothing there, nothing to see there. He was sleeping with a Chinese spy.

[Jonathan Turley]

And his arguments for Epstein are going to come back to haunt him. Well, a member of Congress like Swalwell

[Chris Arps]

does not have some unique privacy protection

[Rob Carson]

from federal investigations by the FBI. Particular that is Greg Jarrett talking about it as well. So he's complaining right now, even though he had no problem with the FBI raiding Mar A Lago. That was unprecedented, by the way, the FBI being weaponized against Donald Trump and his followers and his associates and his transition team and his supporters by the FBI But Cash Patel's looking into the fact that this guy Eric swallows well slept with a Chinese spy A honeypot from communist China yeah, welcome to it.

Swallow well had a little bang bang With a little bang bang A Chinese spy Bang bang was his little honey Helped him raise money and that is why he's out there's no doubt an affair he can't defend Bang bang Eric's little bang bang got him in the end Bang bang Eric's little bang bang Proved he's China's friend yeah, yeah, yeah Shit Has a tiny little pencil A tiny little pencil A pencil neck he is no more than a token Many laws he's broken we suspect Omar she went too far an anti Semite clown Ship's wo well and Omar I'm glad that they went down Ships bore well and no more. Let's run them out of town.

Let's hope that Ilhan Omar gets denaturalized and deported. I'm hoping that'll happen very soon. And when it does, we're gonna have to do some, I don't know, do some sort of celebration or something when she gets sent back to the meth lab trailer park of the world, also known as Somalia. So there you go. On the way, we'll be talking a little bit this, this judge who says that Donald Trump has to stop building the new ballroom. The argument is already dead, by the way. It's already dead. I'll explain why it's already dead. It's a, it's an idiotic ruling by a judge who's just existing to see block Donald Trump's administration. Coming up, a voice of St. Louis, Chris Arps joins us to talk about a number of issues. Maybe a little Tiger woods too. This is the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington D.C. area, which is like sleeping on the the sponge in your sink. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghostbed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging, it's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson. You are going to love your new Ghostbed.

[Legal Expert / Trump Supporter]

So with all of that, I'm very happy to be signing the voter integrity and I think it's going to be really great. So if you don't mind, I will take some time and I'll make this signature absolutely perfect so it looks very good.

[Rob Carson]

And so that's Donald Trump basically trying to make sure that, you know, if you send in the mail and ballot that you're a legal voter, it'll have a little code on it so you can, you can prove that you are who you are. And they aren't a bunch of printed off ballots that have appeared over the years in different elections even though Democrats say no election fraud has ever taken place. Ever. Okay, sure. Joining me on the Newsmax hotline, Chris Arps, co host of Tim Jones and Chris Arp Show, 94. One News Talk, STL St. Louis, Missouri, baby. How you doing, Chris?

[Chris Arps]

Rob, Good afternoon from flyover Country.

[Chris Arps]

It's great, man. We're having unseasonably warm weather today and fantastic. You know, I'm not a cold weather guy, so I'm loving that. We're having a little early spring here in the Midwest.

How are the Cardinals looking this year?

[Chris Arps]

Cardinals are 3 and 2 so far. They've got a very young team. You know, the seasons have been very disappointing last few years. Cardinals have a history of winning playoff, playoffs, championships. So we're rebuilding right now. We've got a new GM and so we've all got our fingers crossed.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. Well, you know, baseball was just a welcome, welcome to me this year. I've moved around the country. I was texting you. I was in, I, I've been, I grew up listening to Jack Buck. I missed that voice. My God in heaven and Marty Brennaman in Cincinnati. When I lived in Cincinnati, one of the boys of summer, man who made baseball so, so good. And so my heart has been in St. Louis for a very long time. I, I love St. Lou. I love me some toasted ravioli and Some, some Ted Drew's baby. Nothing wrong with it.

[Chris Arps]

So what do you think about don't forget Emo. Don't forget Emo's Pizza.

[Rob Carson]

Emo's pizza, which, you know, I don't know what it is, what the dividing line is that my ex wife hated Emo's Provel. But you could buy it like in different states in Indiana and Missouri you can buy their cheese and it's sticky, weird cheese, but it's the best damn stuff, man.

[Chris Arps]

It is.

[Rob Carson]

It's fantastic. So what are the Democrats going to say about Donald Trump assuring that mail in ballots are secure? What do you suppose they're going to say?

[Chris Arps]

Well, of course, first of all, the Democrats say that there's no such thing as voter fraud and yes occur. It's very, very rare. We've seen plenty of instances where illegals have voted in our elections. And my argument is, you know, if one illegal alien votes, then that's one too many. And I don't see anything wrong with basically an insurance policy of trying to make sure that they don't vote in our elections. You know, you don't buy home insurance after your, after your house burns down.

[Rob Carson]

You know, it's so patently absurd to think that the Democrats want free and fair elections. When they opened the southern border and ladled billions, possibly trillions of dollars of largesse on illegals coming in, gave them Social Security cards, et cetera. It is a plan. It is transparent. When they say that they want to get rid of the CBP and the DHS and transportation, you know, TSA agents and all of this, and make them suffer, it's very obvious that the only thing they care about is not the safety and security of the American citizen, not the safety and security of the vote, but that they, they know they can rely on Democrats to vote no matter what they do in Washington D.C. so 70% want voter ID, 100% of Democrats on Capitol Hill don't want it. They know the Democrats will vote for it even though they have no representation, but they need illegals to put them over the top to win. Would you agree?

[Chris Arps]

I agree completely. And you know, this is not only a 8020 issue, this is a 9010 issue. Americans of all stripes, political stripes, conservative and liberal, are in favor of this. You remember back in Georgia a few years ago when Joe Biden said that when Georgia passed a voter ID bill that it was Jim Crow and what happened, we had African Americans voting in record numbers. African Americans support this. And you know, you remember they did a survey after the Georgia election of African American voters and 100% that they had no problem voting on election day.

[Rob Carson]

You know, Chris, you're a black guy and I would be insulted by the Democrat Party. My God in heaven, I don't know why people still stay with the Democrat party. I got a friend who is in politics in Baltimore and she decided that she was done with the Democrat Party. She used to knock on door for Barack Obama, she used to campaign for Joe Biden and all of that. And she decided she was going to be a Republican. And she got called every, she told me some of the names she got called by Democrats. I mean it was unbelievable, she said. But the Republican Party opened her with open arms to her. So how do you feel about all this nonsense, particularly saying that black people can't get an id? I mean, my God in heaven, man.

[Chris Arps]

Well, our so called African American leaders have made a litmus test that if you are not a supporter of the Democratic Party, you aren't black. And fortunately a lot of African Americans are starting to reject that, me included. And I also, younger generation of African Americans are rejecting that as well. And I think, Rob, they're coming to the realization here that black people voting for one party is a loser. You know, you have the situation where one party takes, doesn't take your vote for seriously because they know they already have it, then another party ignores because they don't think they're ever going to get your vote. So we're in a political no man's land there. And that I believe whether you are conservative leaning or liberal leaning, you should have a choice to vote who you want to vote for and not be called a coon or a sellout or an uncle.

[Rob Carson]

No, that's exactly what by the way, she told me she was called by the way. And there's some other ones as well. Dude. My first, my first gig in radio was Columbia, Missouri. And I remember seeing there was an inner city in Columbia, Missouri. It's small, it's typical, it's mostly black, mostly impoverished, and there just happens to be a Planned Parenthood on a street named after a civil rights leader. Same goes for Cincinnati, same goes for Kansas City. I'm sure the same damn thing happens in St. Louis, Missouri. And it has been a part of my life work to end this against people of color, kids of color, to have a generation that would grow up where they wouldn't have to be shot when they're riding their damn bikes and they would be able to have a good school and all this. And I Tell you what I saw. I moved to Washington, D.C. seven months ago. It has turned around. You saw what happened in Memphis, Tennessee. Are you hoping and praying that someday that's going to come to St. Louis?

[Chris Arps]

I do. You know, St. Louis, as you know, is a very, very blue city. We're very Democratic. You remember a couple of few years ago, we actually voted for Cori Bush. I'm in her district. She is racist, of course, is running again for her seat against former congressman. She's trying to make comebacks. But you know, one thing that's very amazing, when you mentioned the abortion issue, you know, at one time, African Americans and I think generally still are, but our leaders were conservative, you know, you know who Emanuel Cleaver is? He's the, he's the Democratic congressman there in Kansas City. You know, one time he was on the board of Missouri Right to Life, an anti abortion group. I've seen JET magazine covers of Jesse Jackson saying how abhorrent it is to be killing babies. And that's a terrible thing. And that Planned Parenthood were put into our communities to create basically a genocide. And in a generation or two, that all changed, especially Jesse Jackson when he ran for president in 84 and he took Clan Parenthood. You know, I call it Clan Parenthood. Yeah, blood money. And then he automatically became pro choice. Just imagine. Chris, Chris, a man of the gospel, a preacher.

[Rob Carson]

Chris, I gotta tell you this. Are you ready for this? Are you ready for this? You know the name of the street in Kansas City where the Planned Parenthood is? Emanuel Cleaver Boulevard? It's Emmanuel. All right, listen, I want to talk a little bit more about this. On the other side of the break, Chris Arps.

Baby, in one moment I want to mention, I want to get you in my bed, my ghost bed. If you're not sleeping well, if you're not sleeping through the night, ghost bed is unreal. I mean, I, I used to consider sleeping a punchline. I mean, I was like, why am I wasting time? I was like, remember that when that went on on Seinfeld when Kramer said I'm gonna go without sleeping? That was my life. I had a foam mattress that I ordered online. It's a piece of crap. It's like sleeping on the sponge in your sink. And then they told me about Ghostbed. I said, okay, I'll try ghost bed. And I ordered a ghostbed queen size mattress, rolled up, brought it in, laid it on the bed, unwrapped it, boing. All of a sudden you got a full size queen mattress with a topper. The best I've slept. I slept till 7 o' clock this morning. I slept till my phone woke me up. Saved 10% on already great spring prices. Ghostbed.com Carson ghostbed.com Carson just look at it, okay? If you don't believe me, look at my social media. You'll see the bed there and everything. Ghostbed.com Carson Chrisarps, you'll appreciate our theme song for Jasmine Crockett. I'm gonna play just a second of it.

[Laura (Trump Legal Scholar)]

The trans kids that want to play the sports.

[Chris Arps]

Lord have mercy.

[Rob Carson]

That is the biggest issue that we had since when?

Since when Jasmine Crockett puts on a fake accent when you catch her talking. Ghetto.

She's total fraud. You know, Chris Harps, I'm going to miss Jasmine Crockett, I think a little bit. How about you?

[Chris Arps]

You know the ironic thing about Jasmine Crockett, I don't know if you knew this, Rob, but she's actually from St. Louis.

[Rob Carson]

I know she's a deb from St. Louis. She's a deb. A private school deb from St. Louis.

[Chris Arps]

Exactly. She went to a very private school here called CBS. Cost about $20,000 a year to attend. And she's a ghetto queen now.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know. You know, St. Louis. Do they still do debutante balls? Louis. It's kind of a big deal in St. Louis still. And she's much, not as much. All right. She's a dip from St. Louis, Man. Oh, my God. I know. I'm like. And then she all of a sudden, she gets all girlfriend, you know, I mean, I don't go in front of different audiences. White audiences go all sudden, I'm Rob Carson. How you all doing out there? You know, it's kind of stupid. It's kind of stupid, man.

[Chris Arps]

Well, and also, it's insulting to African American voters because she feels that you got to talk down to them and talk, you know, ghetto or at Bonnet in order to be relate. Black people have the same. Have the same interests and desires that all people have. You want to educate children, you want to make sure you have a good job, and you want to make sure you got plenty of money left over retirement. That spreads across all demographics. You don't have to talk down to people to relate to.

[Rob Carson]

It's just so bloody insulting in the year 2026. And they do this. They bring this back. It's like, what a fricking insult this is. Let me ask you this. Do you. Because the Democrat Party, like for instance, the no Kings protest, I figured it out this weekend. You know, it was about nothing. It was like Seinfeld. It was about nothing. All right? And the Democrat Party is about nothing but hating Donald Trump. But, you know, you got people like I think I saw was. I think it was Megyn Kelly freaking out. Donald Trump's poll numbers are going down. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, oh, my God. They're gonna die. Really? How about just calm the hell down? We're in the middle of the greatest military victory that the country has ever seen. An overwhelming show of force killing the 47 year terrorist state. And we've already got people like Megyn Kelly throwing their hands up like the sky is falling. How do you feel about the Democrat Party going into the midterms here?

[Chris Arps]

Well, you know, historically, when the president, his party doesn't do well. So that's headwinds that we are facing. But I think that if we can get this war wrapped up quickly, if we can eliminate Iran as a threat to the Middle east and to the world, then I believe that the. You know, the stock market's going to rise again. I believe gas prices are going to fall. We saw that yesterday when the President announced that the President of Iran wanted to negotiate. The stock market went up 1,000 points. Last week, when the President talked about possibly a ceasefire or an ending to the hostility, the oil market dropped below $100. So I think the fundamentals of the economy are strong. But whenever you have a lot of things where we don't know what's going on, the stock market reacts to that. But I think the underlying fundamentals of the economy is strong going into the midterms, and people vote their vote, their pocketbooks more than anything. You know, James Carville said famously back in 1992, it's the economy, stupid.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I wanted to present it also, and I was positive this question at the end of last year, we've got to figure out how to get the news across in a vacuum of any good news coming out of the media. And they've really reached a new low when on day one of this military campaign, Chris Murphy said it was a disaster. Right as we vaporized the Ayatollah, now we've got the Democrat Party saying we're losing or we're in a quagmire, which is absurd on the face of it. So we're gonna have to figure out a way to get the momentum going. It's our 250th year, for God's sake. We've got MMA fighting coming on July 4th, by the way. If you make it in. You got a place to stay? I got a loft.

[Chris Arps]

Okay, I'll take you up on that.

[Rob Carson]

You got the Grand Prix race. They got a Grand Prix race in downtown D.C. coming. You got the 250th year. We got both U.S. hockey teams winning gold medals. We got a lot of positives here. We need to overwhelm the left with joy of patriotism and let Donald Trump handle the ass kicking. What do you think about that?

[Chris Arps]

I think that's the way to go. And, you know, the President tonight is going to speak to the nation on the Iran war. I think that's something that he do. A lot of people are suggesting that maybe he's trying to prepare the nation for possibly putting ground troops in there. I don't think that's what it is, but I think the President is about to do something very significant. He's trying to prepare the nation for it. And as I said, we can get this war over and, you know, eliminate Iran as a threat to the region and to the world. I think it's going to be morning in America again. As RONALD yeah, come on.

[Rob Carson]

That's what I think. That's what I think. Chris Hart's man, it's been a joy talking to you today, man. Where can people find you?

[Chris Arps]

You?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, where can people find you on the social media and whatnot? And your show?

[Chris Arps]

I'm on Facebook, Christopher Arps, and I have a webpage, Christopherarps.com all right, man,

[Rob Carson]

have a glorious weekend and we'll talk again soon. You bet. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. All right, so Donald Trump doing this ballroom over here. And he's, he's got private money in on him, right? And this judge in Washington, D.C. has said he's got to stop. It's absolutely, utterly, utterly ridiculous to say that he can't build the ballroom. It's gonna get shot down immediately. And one of the reasons being is that the Democrat, I should say, our leaders have been able to do this for years and we're not spending any public money on it. So it's nonsense that this is being challenged. It's just we' got a lot of people in our country right now who are trying to C block every damned thing that Donald Trump does. Same goes with the library, the Trump library. Everybody's whining and b wording about Donald Trump possibly building a library. Here is what Whoopi Goldberg said about the new Trump library, which is just in, you know, in the drawing stages.

[Ketanji Brown Jackson]

Look, there's so much crazy stuff going on. I mean, the fact that. Did you see the rendition of the library that he's building? Yes, it's a giant. It looks like a giant penis.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

You know, honestly, everything that is in that shape looks like a penis, if you really gotta think about it. I mean, honestly, later today at 6:24, NASA's gonna be, you know, launching a giant penis into space. Oh, look, look, I'm writing with a penis right here. Look. Oh my God, I've got an ink penis right here. Honestly. Is that what you got? Is that what you got? Anything that has lengthened girth is suddenly a penis. My God, woman, get your head out of the gutter. I mean, honestly. Absolutely, utterly, utterly ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Here is the. One of Trump's legal scholars, her name's Pastor, talking about the ballroom.

[Legal Expert / Trump Supporter]

Well, appeal that, but it's not, I don't know, it's basically. I mean, I wrote, I wrote a part of his opinion, but basically he's saying, I need congressional Approval. And he's so wrong. Yeah, this is being financed privately. It's a place.

[Rob Carson]

It's not shaped like a penis donation

[Legal Expert / Trump Supporter]

that's being given by Penis Ballroom. These very rich companies, very rich people.

[Laura (Trump Legal Scholar)]

The decision's just entirely wrong. And this won't be the ultimate say on the matter, but I will say this, Laura. I give West Wing tours, and as soon as I walk in, the one fact that I know is that the West Wing building used to be a garden. And I think it was President Roosevelt that had it as a garden and then said, no, I think we need some offices in this space. So presidents have been redoing the West Wing and their offices throughout history. And if anybody had, they've been begging

[Rob Carson]

for a ballroom for decades.

[Laura (Trump Legal Scholar)]

Gone and done a West Wing tour before this decision. Perhaps the judge should have done a West Wing tour. He would know that President Trump is one of many presidents who has done this. So it's just historically inaccurate that a president would need.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it's just, you know, typical C blocking of Donald Trump's. Anything he wants to do. And by the way, he's one of the most prestigious builders in the entire world. It's gonna make amazing. So honestly, KMA judge, listen, I'm going to take off here pretty quick. This trip to D.C. october 25th through the 29th. Five days, four nights with me from cruise and tour. If you want to get signed up for it, I want you to just go and look at this today. Just go to travelwithrob.net travelwithrob.net we're going to be going through the nation's capital. We're going to go to, to the Capitol building, Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, all the war memorials, the National Mall, all the museums. I'm taking time off. I want you to join me. This is serendipitous. This is your time to finally go to Washington D.C. if you've never been or if you have to come again. 250th year of our birth. Travelwithrob.net or 800-383-31331 travelwithrob.net or 800- 383-3131 God bless you. America is founded. Donald Trump is making America again. Our military that's absolutely keel hauling Iran. And until tomorrow, which is Thursday, do not catch the stupid. I love you guys. See ya. This is the right choice for Maryland.
