[Brandon Gill]

Interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show.

[Rob Carson]

In America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is what? It's already Wednesday. I've got some audio today. I don't know what the deal is, somebody who's messing with my board or something overnight. But anyway, I am here. I hope it sounds good. If not, I'm sure I'll hear him from, from my producer Michelle, listening in the year there if everything sounds fine. But it is sounding a little, a little off kilter here. You know, maybe it's just my brain. Does it sound good? Michelle, I can't hear you. It sounds good there. Okay, good, good, good. Well, that's all I wanted to hear because by gosh, we're here to do a show that entertains and informs you. And my goodness, we've got a lot of stuff to get through today. A lot of stuff today, including, I don't know if you knew this, but Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are super corrupt and got all sorts of money from Ukraine and there's a real good chance that he started the Russia war with Ukraine to distract from his family's corruption. There's a real good chance that happened and there are a lot of things that are falling in place that make a lot of sense. Really do. I was watching Greg Kelly Last night on Newsmax, and he was really going off on the Russia, Ukraine thing with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and the. Hunter Biden working for the Ukrainian gas company. And. And I was like, why is Greg opening the show with this when everybody else is talking about, you know, the shutdown or. Or the FBI being weaponized against conservatives and all that? And then I was listening. I'm like, oh, my God. Wow. Greg Kelly does it again, by the way. So we're gonna get to that on the show. And of course, everything that you and I knew was happening is coming true. Everything that they called disinformation and misin information was absolutely true. They covered up for the profound, corrupt corruption of Joe Frickin Biden and his miserable family. He is the most corrupt president in the history of our country, One of the most corrupt world leaders ever. Where is he now, by the way? He is the most popular man ever. He got to 81 million votes in 2020. He did. He got 81 million votes. And it's really weird because he was so popular. And right after he got into office, he started doing these live streams on YouTube and there were under a thousand people watching, even though 81 million people voted for him. It's just crazy. And then. And then he dropped out because, you know, he wanted to. You know, he felt like he needed to move aside for Kamala Harris or New Generation or maybe he just had dementia so. So badly that he couldn't do anything. And you kind of wonder where he is the last few days, because if I'm not mistaken, by now, he. He should have been nine months into his second term. And the last time I checked, he could barely even talk. So how in the hell would he be able to do a second term? Oh, yeah, maybe they just lied about everything. That's why I said, I don't know. About four years ago, there was no way that he would ever run a second term. There's no way, because his brain is gone. Duh. Oh, my God. It's just. It's so thoroughly frustrating. But the positive is, you get it. Everybody gets it. Everybody understands. What an incredible snow job. How much we became like the Soviet Union because of the people in charge. And the only way we could survive another 250 years is a baptism by fire. When I say that, I mean fire people. Fire people en masse, then indict people, then put them on trial, then put them in prison. It has to happen. And guess what, Democrats? We are only nine months into this thing, and there's A whole lot more to go. And you're going to get such a colonoscopy. You have no idea. You have no idea how big and ugly this thing is going to get. And we're not going to use any anesthesia. We're going to make it as painful as possible. Oh, by the way, a country singer, Zach Bryan, said that his anti ice message in his song Bad News is being misconstrued because, you know, doing a song like this is kind of like a country music star trading in his pickup truck for a Prius. Or in the case of Katie Lang, dissing the beef producers of America and going vegan, or even the Dixie Chicks just being complete leftist morons and talking about America badly on foreign soil. It's kind of stupid crap that you do. So Zach Bryan, he wrote this song called Bad News. You tell me if this is anti ice or not. And ice is gonna come bust down your door Try to build a house no one builds no more because that's like, the work that Americans won't do, even though we'll all do it, you know, because we do. Here, let me do it. A country music thing. The knives are gonna come down bust your door Try to build a house no one builds no more But I got a telephone Kids are all scared all the time the boss stopped bumping the rock stopped rolling the middle figures rising and it won't stop showing I got some bad news the fading of the red, white and blue. There you go. Yeah, and I like country music, too, but this guy doesn't deserve anything positive. The fading of the red, white and blue so ice is going to come bust down your door Try to get a house no one builds no more. So basically saying that, you know, Americans won't build houses, I guess, but I got a telephone. Kids are scared all the time. So he's saying that, you know, kids are all terrified that dad's going to get. Get removed because illegally, the boss stopped bumping, the rock stops rolling, whatever the hell that means. The middle fingers rising and it won't stop showing what the. Really, really? Zacky, you know what? This is what happens when you got a guy named Zach in country music. I mean, really, how country is the. Is the name Zach? Zach's that millennial name that everybody started naming their kids when they were born in about 191 93. You know, let's call him Zach. There you go. Fading of the red, white and blue. Honestly, Zach, we don't believe you. Now you're getting completely hosed, and people are mad you don't do this to the country music audience because I don't know if you knew this. The country music audience really loves America, so there's that. Yeah, they really love America. And we started ripping on America and ripping on ice while everybody else is causing. While the left is causing ice, Nazis and Hitler. You might want to lay off, because country music listeners also love our police, love our border patrol. Like to have the border shut down. I mean, all you got to do is just look at the MAGA platform, Zach, and you could, you could sell records, but honestly, you're. You're a buffoon, and your name is Zach. Yeah. I bet you're. I don't know, what's your middle name? Is it Lindsay or something? What? What is it? I don't even know if you got a pickup truck. You know, I, I. You know, one thing I hate, I like country music that's authentic. When I was a kid, my mom and dad, we used to go, and they would go, we call Honky Tonkin, and we get in the old Ram Charger and the three kids get in the back, and we go to the Crescent Inn in Crescent, Iowa, and, And we'd. We'd go order a Red Baron pizza, and mom and dad would drink some beer, and then we'd listen to, like, Willie Nelson and Whaling Jennings and all of that stuff, you know, and, and that was country music. And now you've got my generation brought around Shania Twain, which is just, I mean, God awful. You kidding me? And Garth Brooks is okay, but he's kind of a poser. You know, he was a bouncer in Oklahoma City or something, or in whatever. And then we got the younger generation coming in, and they're actually trying to save country music from the posers that kind of took over. I don't know what Zach Bryan is all about, but, Zach, I don't know. I don't know what your roots are, but clearly they're not. They're not pro police and pro American. Oh, I got something I want to start with here. This is kind of funny. I have two jokes that I want to start with today, because they were quite funny yesterday. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, who is a really smart man, a brilliant man. His, his press conferences are always good. He always has. He's very jov. Joe Biden, if you didn't know, has dementia real bad. And he could barely speak at all, okay? Could barely speak at all. And everybody tried to cover it up, including Jake Tapper, who did until he, you know, had the debate and he tried to cover it up then. And then everybody saw he had dementia. And then to save ass and make money, Jake Tapper wrote a book about, hey, man, I didn't know he had dementia. Okay, so there's that. So Joe Biden had dementia, was absolute miserable president, one of the most corrupt in the history of the world. And now we got Donald Trump. And Donald Trump's hanging there with the, the Prime Minister of Canada, old Jay Carney. And here's Donald Trump's joke of the day.

[Brandon Gill]

What's holding things up?

[Rob Carson]

If he's a great man and you want to do a deal with Canada, we're gonna crank it up here. Hold on.

[Donald Trump]

Because I want to be a great man, too.

[Rob Carson]

A little low. Here we go.

[Brandon Gill]

So then what's holding things up?

[Rob Carson]

If he's a great man and you want to do a deal with Canada, why aren't you?

[Donald Trump]

Because I want to be a great man, too.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That was a really good joke. Here, here's the other joke of the day that I had sent to me. And this is really funny, too. And this is one of those, those jokes, it's kind of like a b, like a hit you right in the face. Kind of a obvious punchline, but very funny. Here it is.

[Advertisement Voice]

A man has been shot with a starting pistol, then beaten with a relay baton. Police believe it may be race related.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's hear it again.

[Advertisement Voice]

A man has been shot with a starting pistol, then beaten with a relay B. Police believe it may be race related, maybe race related.

[Rob Carson]

Starting baton and, you know, the starting pistol. And then the. You get it. Race related. I kind of thought actually Donald Trump's was funnier today. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. Well, let's see what else we got. We got the, the, the shutdown still going on, by the way, the Democrats are still losing on this one. And Donald Trump is saying that there are some departments that go away because of the shutdown. Here he is. Sure.

[Advertisement Voice]

Which ones?

[Donald Trump]

We have a lot. I'm not going to tell you, but we'll be announcing it pretty soon. But we have a lot of things that we're going to eliminate and permanently eliminate. You know, one of the things that we have is some advantage, you could say. But because of the shutdown, which I think they made a big mistake, we're able to take out billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse.

[Rob Carson]

One of the great things is that the Democrat Party, by shutting down the government, have given Donald Trump an opportunity to Cut the government by trillions of dollars. And I'm hoping he does.

[Donald Trump]

And they've handed it, you know, to, on a silver platter. And you know, Russell Vote is a serious person, very serious person. And he's sitting there and he's getting ready to cut things. And this is something that was handed to us by I assume, Schumer. I don't, I just don't know if Schumer has any power anymore. I look at your, your leadership. I don't know who to speak to. I'll tell you what, I'm getting calls from Democrats wanting to meet because the.

[Rob Carson]

Democrat Party is, is a joke. It's even bigger joke than the two jokes I just played for you. Even bigger joke than the two jokes that I just played for you. Okay, so listen, I'm going to try to get these audio, audio things figured out. We got a lot of stuff coming up including the surveilling of, of Republicans. Big news on Joe Biden's absolute corruption and Hunter Biden and the massive cover up and hopefully some heads are going to roll in Joe Biden's DOJ and in the deep state. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Donald Trump]

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com listen for details. Because these Democrats are like insurrectionists, okay? They're so bad for our country. So their policy is so bad for our country. I said let's see if we can get it right. All done in the. And everybody said it's not doable because it's the biggest bill ever passed in the history of our country. And we got it all done. We don't need anything else. We got everything we want.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, the Democrats are acting like insurrectionists in more ways than one, by the way, in America's Democrat run cities. They of course are actually fomenting insurrection and violence to the fact that the shell casings of people that have been murdered by leftists have been inscribed with the same words that Democrats use like Nazi and fascists because they spent a grooming their radical base to commit acts of violence. Don't believe me, I don't know if you knew this, but earlier this year they, they went out and started burning down Tesla dealerships and thousands of angry people using profanity went to Tesla dealerships and drove the stock down and, and drove Elon Musk out of the government because they are brown shirts. The Democrat Party and their followers are brown shirts right now. Very destructive lot. Not very good. Here is Mike Johnson talking About Chuck Schumer, who is on the very end of his career. He' going out in a, in a. Not a blaze of glory, but a giant thud because he hasn't done anything in his career. He's a wretched little man. He's like a gargoyle leader Schumer's record.

[Brandon Gill]

Because he is leading the opposition and he is the one telling the Democrats to keep the government shut down. Chuck Schumer has been in Congress for 44 years. I know he was first.

[Rob Carson]

Joe Biden had been there for 50. And they've never done anything, they've never fixed anything. They said they were going to fix health care with Obamacare. Remember that? And now it's still screwed up and they're still saying they're going to ruin health care. And our health care is broken. We need to spend more money on health care. We gave you everything you wanted with that stupid Obamacare. I think it was around 2010. I lived in Washington D.C. you voted on it. Against our will. Nancy Pelosi said we got a passage to see what's in it. And lo and behold, it's not been fixed at all. It's still screwed.

[Brandon Gill]

Elected to the house in 1981. Just for reference, I was nine years old. I was in the third grade when Chuck Schumer came here to Congress.

[Rob Carson]

I was in middle school.

[Brandon Gill]

Throughout his entire career, he has been very, very consistent about the necessity of keeping the government open. Until just now.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, because he is desperate. The Democrats are, are grasping at straws. They've been grasping at straws. Anything to take Donald Trump down. They did. They tried to do it during the last four, five years. They tried to do it during the last nine years. They have been caterwauling. They have been doing everything they can to fight against anything good that Donald Trump has been doing. The first nine months, they have behaved like violent, petulant children. There was no honeymoon period whatsoever. Donald Trump has shut down the border completely. Donald Trump has brought $17 trillion in new investment into the United States. Donald Trump has blown the lid off military recruitment, got rid of woke nonsense. Have you noticed there's not so much tranny nonsense. I could say that now. Oh my God, I can. Training now, you know, all that nonsense. There's not so much of that these days. Have you heard anything about that lately? Particularly in the military? You've seen people like Rachel Levine, who was a middle aged man on the verge of retirement, decided to become a woman and then became a rock star in the Democrat Party. Have you noticed all of that's kind of faded into the back. It's kind of amazing, isn't it, how things have happened. But the Democrat Party is, is saying everything's terrible, hoping that someone will believe them, but nobody believes them. Nobody believes them at all. And so they own this shutdown. They own the shutdown. By the way, here's some more good news. Are you ready? Good news. For the fifth consecutive month, Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security has released zero migrants into the United States interior. Zero. Zero. Under Biden, it's estimated that millions of migrants were released into the US Interior in just four years. Biden's catch and release network was aided by several non government agencies. NGOs. Getting billions and billions of dollars to bring people into our country unvetted. While your kids were locked out of schools, while you were told you weren't able to go to church and you had to wear a stupid mask. They brought in unvetted, unvaccinated people without any regard for you and me, and then said they couldn't do anything about it until Donald Trump became the president and he fixed it. Isn't that kind of crazy? ICE is on Track to deport 600,000 migrants in 2025. 2 million have left voluntarily. How is that possible? They've left voluntarily. It is absolutely incredible. So those ads lately, the ads from Christy Noem that say, if you want to leave right now, you can leave and it'll be great, but. But if you stay, you're not going to be allowed to come back in. You're not going to be allowed to come back in. It is. It is remarkable. ICE is on track to deport 600,000. 2 million have left because they know that if Kristi Noem gets a hold of them, they're going to be removed, whether they like it or not. And if you get removed, you will not be able to return. That's kind of. Kind of crazy, isn't it? Yeah, it's kind of crazy. So that's some more good news. And, and of course, Kristi Noem has been. Got a lot of crap from people like JB Te. Pritzler, Pritzler, Pricksker, whatever. Here he is, JB Pritzker, of all people, making fun of Kristi Noem.

[Brandon Gill]

She needs to get out, grow up. She's dressing up as a law enforcement.

[Rob Carson]

Officer and jumping in as if she's trained to do any of this. Do you realize how demeaning that is and what a sexist remark it is for that parade balloon to say something like that to Christine. And I gotta tell you, if I were, if I were J.B. tetzler, I would not mess with Kristi Noem. She's not and she shouldn't be part of this at all. In fact, she's getting it all wrong and she's, in fact, I think he's doing a great job it up causing problems.

[Christi Noem]

All right, Secretary, you just heard the.

[Rob Carson]

Governor call you a little girl playing dress up.

[Donald Trump]

What do you say to that?

[Christi Noem]

He keeps throwing out insults. I wish he would just offend the people that he's responsible for. And that is what is shocking to me about these leftist politicians. Just how they ignore the people who elected them, jeopardize their safety and continue to disrespect our law enforcement officers. So one of the things I've been dealing with all day here in Portland is a bunch of pansies that are elected into political office who won't make a decision to keep their citizens safe. I'm proud of our federal law enforcement officers. They're absolute rock stars in the face of this kind of opposition. And we're going to continue to get them the resources they need to get the bad guys off the streets.

[Rob Carson]

Jesse, I'll bet you J.B. pritzkeler, Pritzker, I bet he's never even fired a gun in his life. Here's here is Christy Noem talking. No, that's the wrong one. I don't want to play that one right there. I've got another response from Christina. I wouldn't mess with Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem was raised on a, on a ranch out in the middle of nowhere. She knows how to castrate pigs. So if I were careful, I'd be careful if I were J.B. pritzker. But, but also she knows how to, to raise animals and she knows how to shoot a gun. And she's doing a great job as the DHX secretary. And the Democrats can't stand it because she's right and he's, she's exposing everything that's wrong about them. All right, so we got a special guest on the show today, but waiting this guy for a while. Brandon Gill is a brand new Republican congressman. If you've seen this guy, he is a wordsmith. He is remarkable to talk when you hear him talk or when he's questioning people like that woman from NPR and whatnot. He's becoming a rock star and it's his first time on this radio program.

[Brandon Gill]

Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?

[Christi Noem]

I believe that. I tweeted that. And as I said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade.

[Brandon Gill]

It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

[Christi Noem]

I don't recall the exact context, sir.

[Brandon Gill]

So I wouldn't be able to say, okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy?

[Christi Noem]

I don't believe that.

[Rob Carson]

That is Brandon Gill questioning Catherine Marr, the head of NPR in Congress. That's when Brandon Gill became a rock star in my book. And he's been a rock star ever since. And he joins us on the Newsmax hotline for the very first time. He is a Republican from the great state of Texas. Brandon, welcome to the show, man. Great to get you on.

[Brandon Gill]

Thanks for having me. It's good to be here.

[Rob Carson]

Dude. I, I gotta tell you, I am a big fan of yours since you started. I enjoy your oratory. I love the fact that you are unshakable in these, in these congressional hearings. Your line of questioning is always just brilliant. You do it with a kind of a wink and a nod. And you, and I think you, you almost kind of, they're almost like cat toys to you. But I just really, I really enjoy, I like to say, calling it giving people what fur. And you're very Good at that. Brandon. I just want to. I just wanted to say that.

[Brandon Gill]

Well, I, I appreciate that. You know, we're at a point where the left went so crazy during the Biden administration. I mean, they really drove themselves off of a cliff and said all kinds of crazy things, just like you heard from. From Katherine Marr. And all we have to do is just ask them if they believe, if they truly believe all the things and ideas that they were propounding for so long. Is America addicted to white supremacy? Do you really believe that boys should be using girls bathrooms? I mean, these are things most people disagree with, and these are things the left believes. So let's ask them about it.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you. You were out of Congress before, while this was all happening, watching this insanity descend over America, starting with you. White supremacy is everywhere, which of course was a lie. White privilege was created out of whole cloth, and then out of nowhere, all of a sudden, you know, there's a massive move toward transgenderism, which is, of course patently absurd. But. But after softening up people with all the propaganda and, and shutting down everything with regard to Covid and whatnot, they. They made people, a lot of people, very pliable, very subjective or very easily subjected to. To just any sort. And, and they all fell for it. You, as a. As a layperson outside of Congress, as you were watching this, what. What did you say as this was happening in real time, you know, while.

[Brandon Gill]

We were seeing this, this. Remember, this was during the Biden administration.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Brandon Gill]

And you saw, you saw just reality being turned upside down. And you saw it in. In multiple areas. The idea that, you know, black people are just being gunned down on the streets by police officers. That's not true. But that, that the left was pushing. They were pushing not only the transgender ideology, but pushing it on young children, which I think is far, far worse. And, you know, you're watching all this happening and you're asking yourself, is this real? I mean, this is so backwards, so contrary to common sense and reason and just the clear facts on the ground. And you're saying, how are they so successful in pushing these crazy ideas? And of course, we know that they've got the media in their back pocket, who will repeat any talking point that the leftist politicians make that the left wing political movement is putting forward. And just think, you know, I think whenever I was seeing this, there was a recognition that, you know, these ideas are so, so bad, so contrary to just what we can see in everyday life, that they can't last, that normal people, most Americans are going to look at this, they're going to realize this is wrong, this men cannot become women. It is not true that America is just completely rooted in white supremacy. I mean, that is insane. And it creates, you know, I think, an opportunity for Republicans for us to come in and say, listen, we are the party of common sense indecency. And I think that that's what we're showing now.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I said that 2024 had to be the year we returned true common sense from nonsense. I've also said, because I used to, you know, I started writing for Rush Limbaugh right out of college, wrote for him for 20 years. And I said, conservative comedy is on the ascension because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. And, Brandon, you got to know this. I mean, when you see some of this nonsense being spewed by people like AOC and Ilhan Omar and Jasmine Crockett, you can't seriously debate these people because they're bat guano crazy. And this is one of the things that you do so well in these hearings, is that you bring humor and you point out absurdity with a. With an even tone. You're not yelling or matching their. Their screaming back at you. You're just pointing out their absolute unhinged absurdity. And that's what makes you so good at this, Brandon.

[Brandon Gill]

Well, I appreciate that, but that's because we are right here, and most people can see that. All you have to do is just ask them, you know, do you really believe these things? We had a hearing a couple months ago where Democrats were. It was a hearing on government funding for DEI programs across the federal government. And Democrats for their witness to be the person giving their point of view was this race hustling lunatics. We bring them in, and I just ask them, do you believe that employers should take race into account whenever they're hiring people? Well, most people across the country say no. Say that that is definitionally what racism is. And we don't think that that should be a part of hiring practices. Certainly not in the federal government, but not in private businesses either. And, you know, whenever you can just make it black and white. Do you think that this is acceptable behavior? That's all you have to do. You don't have to yell at them. You don't have to get upset. Just have to ask them. And the American people are on our side.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God, yes. You're exactly right. How has your time in Congress been thus far? Because, you know, obviously there's a learning curve involved here. You seem to have moved in pretty smoothly. How is it for you adjusting to Washington, D.C. as a congressman?

[Brandon Gill]

Congressman well, you know, we came in, you know, I was sworn in in early January. And this is a really good time to be a member of Congress because I think that we're able to execute on the things that we ran on. And we have a phenomenal president in the White House who is a leader of not just of the party but of the conservative movement right now, and President Trump who's actually doing all the things that he said he would do, which is refreshing. You rarely see that in Washington. And while, you know, Congress, we move slower and that's something that, you know, is difficult for me, I'd like to see us move a lot faster. We've actually been able to get a lot done this Congress. We've been able to pass a big tax bill, the biggest welfare reform in American history. We repealed half of the Green New Deal. We've been able to back up the president as he is securing the border and deporting illegal aliens. So, so it's been a really exciting time to be in Washington and be a part of this movement. I think that we're in a historic time for our country where we are seeing this massive shift back towards common sense and normality and decency. And we're taking our country back. We're saying that this is a country that is, that should be run for the benefit of the American people, American citizens. And we're actually able to do that now.

[Rob Carson]

Now, Brandon Johnson, can you hold on for the next break? I would like to talk to you a little bit more. What's going on with regard to the shutdown? What's going on with regard to the doj, Biden's doj, going after conservatives, including senators, and then what's going on in American cities? Can you do that, my friend?

[Brandon Gill]

Absolutely.

[Rob Carson]

I would love to have you back on. Look, hold on a second. We'll be right back. We're talking to Congressman Brandon Johnson or Brandon Gill. Sorry, I said Brandon Johnson. I was thinking of, you know, Brandon Johnson in, in Chicago. Brandon Gill is with us. We will continue this conversation on the other side of the break. And this is the Rob Carson show. Joining us on the Newsmax hotline is Congressman Brandon Gill from Texas. And he's, he's a really good time to be a congressman. Donald Trump is back in office after five political indictments, attempting to take his fortune away, his freedom away and murder him twice. And in common sense has returned to Washington, D.C. the Democrats still hasn't haven't gotten the memo. The government is closed down right now because the Democrats are demanding health care for illegal aliens. Brandon, how is the shutdown going and what are you doing with your time while, while Congress is. And while the government is shut down?

[Brandon Gill]

Yeah, well, listen, we're, we're back in Texas serving constituents. My office is open. We're taking constituent calls. We're continuing the casework that we normally do at any, at any time. So we're working nonstop here and meeting with the People of Texas 26 to see how I can better serve them. You know, we're at a place right now which, you know this and I know everybody listening knows this, but Republicans went out of our way to keep the government open here. You know, we could have come to Democrats and said, because we know that you have to get some Democrat votes in the Senate to keep, to get a funding bill passed to keep the government open. We could have gone to them and said, here's our bill. It's got all kinds of Republican priorities, conservative priorities, things that we would like to see on social issues and a variety of everything else. Knowing that Democrats would probably not like that. We didn't do that. What we did is we put forward a clean continuing resolution. Something that is, just keeps the lights on for another seven weeks so we can run the regular appropriations process and do our job job the way it's supposed to be done. And Democrats, this is something they voted for 13 times in the past. They voted for it back in March of this year. We thought they would go for that. That's something. It's a fair deal. Again, we went out of our way to keep this open. They rejected that. They rejected it, of course, because they want to see taxpayer funded health care for illegal aliens. And we're not going to do that. We're not going to.

[Rob Carson]

It's remarkable the hubris that they have. You know, I like to say that to like these, you know, brats on college campuses demanding things. You're not in a position to demand anything. The Democrat Party somehow felt like they have, are in the position to demand anything. And it's not working. It's not working at all. The American people aren't buying it. What are your constituents saying about their, their demand to give illegals health care?

[Brandon Gill]

Oh, they're saying it's absurd. Remember, what we're doing is a seven week continuing resolution just to keep the lights on, to run, to run the appropriations process. And part of that, what Democrats came back to us and said was as part of this seven week cr, what we want to see is we want to see the debt go up by 1 1/2 trillion dollars for new spending that is your hard earned tax dollars that will be wasted on not only health care for illegal aliens, but refunding state sponsored, formerly state sponsored left wing media outlets like NPR and PBS giving money back to the state Department to do some of the, you know, huge forms of waste on transgender surgeries and things like that that most Americans disagree with. That was their proposal. So the people that I'm hearing from in Texas 26 are saying this is ridiculous. We sent you guys to Washington to get the country back on track, to protect taxpayers and to protect our tax dollars to eventually bring the debt down. Because this is an existential crisis with our federal debt and we can't do that whenever Democrats are coming to us and saying we require all of this new wasteful spending. So our constituents and I think the American people are with President Trump and House Republicans here.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I want to, just because we're running short on time here, Brandon Gillen, and this is the first time having you on the show and I really, like I said I'd love to have you back on brother, because I'm a big fan of yours. But what did you do before? What made you run for Congress? Why is this important to you?

[Brandon Gill]

Yeah, you know, I was in the conservative media world prior to running for office. I started a conservative media business that I, that I was running. And you know what I wanted to do whenever the seat in my district opened, opened up, whenever the former congressman announced he was retiring was make sure that we have strong conservative representation for Texas 26 in Washington. This is a conservative district, a red district. These are great people and they want somebody who's going to fight for them in Washington. And that's what I plan on doing. That's what I've been doing, trying to do every single day since I was sworn in back in January, is bring the conservative values that I think this, most of this country has to Washington.

[Rob Carson]

You're a young guy, so you're probably a Charlie Kirk acolyte. I think that Charlie Kirk's martyrdom, which by the way happened four weeks ago today, really, really put the, put this movement into light speed for faith, for family and for country. And I think it's remarkable. You are from Texas. I just moved from Kansas City. I'm a Kansas City barbecue fan. But I will tell you, Texas owns beef. I'll just give you that. Kansas City owns pork. Any thoughts on barbecue?

[Brandon Gill]

You Know, until I graduated high school and moved out of Texas for a short period of time, I didn't even know pork barbecue existed.

[Rob Carson]

So we're all all right, you know what? And honestly, you guys do it well. You do it well down there and you use pecan wood. I'm a barbecue aficionado, bro. And, you know, when you come back here and when I get my smoker up here and we will, we'll do a little barbecue when you get back in town. But I don't have my smoker living in a dang apartment now. So my smokers back in Kansas City. Brandon Gill, a real pleasure having you on. Honestly, you're, you're doing a great job and I'm a big fan. I always use your audio on the show because you do a great job. Is there anything that we can do to help you out in your, in your tenure as a, as a congressman, which we hope will be very long?

[Brandon Gill]

Well, I appreciate that. That's kind of you. I think right now the biggest thing is getting the word out as to what is happening in Washington. You know, every single day, the government is shut down. Right now, Chuck Schumer is going to be looking at public opinion polls to see if they're moving in his direction or moving against it. So we have to get the word out and make sure the American people really understand what's going on here, that it is on page 56 of the Democrat bill text that they want to give taxpayer funded health care to illegal aliens. That is what this is about.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely.

[Brandon Gill]

And if we do that, if we continue to get the word out, we're going to win this shutdown fight.

[Rob Carson]

All right, we got to run. Brandon. Hey, thank you, my brother. God bless and Godspeed. We'll talk again soon, okay?

[Brandon Gill]

Yep. Thank you.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.

[Brandon Gill]

This is what was happening under Joe Biden. United States senators spied upon former presidents, the political opponents of the president at the time targeted, prosecuted pro lifers, targeted.

[Rob Carson]

Prosecuted Catholics, targeted, prosecuted. 92 conservative organizations put under surveillance, targeted for potential prosecution.

[Brandon Gill]

Gee, I don't know. Would you call that an example of weaponization?

[Rob Carson]

Attorney General Bonney, do you think that's a fair characterization?

[Christi Noem]

Senator Hawley? That is the ultimate weaponization. And weaponization under Donald Trump has ended.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. When this was all happening, I used to run this intro to the show that had a line from Kurt Russell and Tombstone, I'm coming and I'm bringing hell with me. Well, hell has arrived and I want to see some people go to jail for all of these abuses and usurpations I've been talking about for years. Jim Gossett on Senators Jack Smith was spying. If he denies it, he is lying. Indictment sure would be a hopeful sign. He has to go to jail. That's it for crossing the line Crossing the line line Crossing the line Crossing the line line Jack has caused us great division that's why he belongs in prison. Trump said one day justice will be mine for crossing the line Crossing the line line Jack Smith spy in a courtroom should be tried There is nowhere he can hide he ought to facetime Crossing the line Crossing the line line Crossing the line Crossing the line line I got a lot coming up on this crossing. I've waited four friggin years years for this and I am taking the gloves off. Next hour on Jack Smith on all of the things that this government did. We've got some amazing news about Joe Biden, the most corrupt man in prison. By the way, if he was given a light a life sentence it would be about three months because you know, you know he's not a very healthy man and nobody's paying attention to that. Anyway, that's all coming up the you're gonna love it, I promise you. It is amazing. Our number two of the Rob Carson show is on the way. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere. Morning Zoe. Got donuts.
