Hold it. Now. You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the worldwide web. This is the Rob Carson show and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to hour number two of show. Mary Walters going to join us at the bottom of the hour. We got a lot of really good stories we're going to cover with her. One on the story of parents in trouble for allowing a 13 year old relative to watch their kid. And, and so it kind of relates to children losing their independence because parents are so overzealous, you know. You know, we're part of the, I'm part of the last analog generation, Generation X. We were the last generation with skin knees who didn't have cell phones and didn't wear sunscreen and bike helmets, by the way. And we turned out. I hate this. It just when we turned out pretty darn well. Yes, yes, you will become your parents too, you gen zers. You're gonna sound just like me one day. You really will. Trust me. You're gonna, and you're gonna sketch yourself and you go, oh my God. Oh my God. Can't believe I just said that. You'll be sitting there and all of a sudden you'll say these kids nowadays, you'll go what the way. How did I say that? These kids nowadays. What? My dad used to say that it's gonna happen to you. It's gonna happen to you. But yeah, we didn't wear sunscreen and bike helmets and we had skinned knees and we rode big wheels and we had Tonka trucks that were made and they had metal edges and it's crazy, crazy. We had fireworks. We played with BB guns. You know, Roger Nielsen lost his eye up the road. But, you know, I mean, this will happen. We had bottle rocket fights, for God's sake. I mean, dirt clod fight. Dirt clod fights. You ever had a dirt clod fight? I bet you most gen zers are like, what the hell is a dirt clod? A dirt clod is a ball of hard packed dirt. We used to pretend they were grenades and we throw them at each other. I did some stupid crap. I did Evil Knievel crap on my Schwinn Stingray. You know, my brother would lay down on the ground and we'd put a piece of plywood on a log and then I'd roll over and try to jump over it. Oh, sorry, Rick, I missed it. I didn't make it over your body there with the, with the bike. It was fun. Oh my God, we had so much fun doing really stupid crap. I was thinking this last night because, you know, fireworks. I was, I was a pyro when I was a kid in a very bad way. Trust me on this. And, and I had. I got a silver salute, which is a. Effectively an eighth of a stick of dynamite. It's like three M80s and M80s are devastating, right? And I built a class project out of popsicle sticks for, I think it was in eighth grade. And I built like a replica of the bridge over the River Kwai. And I used like 1500 popsicle sticks and I put it out and I built this river in our sandbox. We had a sandbox. I had a sandbox. I lived on a farm with a lot of cats. It wasn't a very pleasant experience. I'll just tell you that. I was playing in a very large litter box. Anyway, so the river. And I put the 1500 popsicle stick bridge that I had spent a week building for class project, and I put the silver salute. I never had a silver salute. I coveted this silver salute for like a month. And I put it there and I. And I backed away about 30ft and I plugged my ears and I watched the fuse doing the smoke. And then all sudden I just saw brilliant flash and, and, and a breeze flew past me and. And then a popsicle stick shreds from the sky for like three minutes. It was fantastic. Oh, my God. Anyway, I, I'm, I'm reminiscing. I'm reminiscing. Here is what I'm doing so much to get to. Oh, did you hear about JB Pritzker? JB Pritzker? Nothing, nothing sleazy about this guy. No, no, no. He just had to report last week on his, on his taxes that he won $1.4 million at a casino playing blackjack. Other than that, I mean, he's a completely, you know, on the up and up guy winning $1.4 million playing blackjack at a casino. There's only one kind of person that wins $1.4 million at blackjack, and that's somebody who plays a bleep ton of blackjack in casinos, among other things. But here he is explaining it. He said he's going to give it to charity, even though he has, obviously, and I've explained this, or at least we did in a statement, you know, that I went on vacation with my wife with some friends. Yeah. And who hasn't just won $1.4 million on vacation with your friends playing blackjack. Incredibly lucky. You have to be to, to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere. It was a double loss for the casino because they lost nearly that much on the all you can eat buffet for this guy. It was in Las Vegas. And I like to play cards. And so you know that I founded a charitable poker match here in Chicago called the Chicago Poker Challenge. That raises. Sure. Millions. Has raised millions of. Yeah, well, let's get back to the Vegas. That's great. That's awesome. And. Oh, that's how you funded the Holocaust Museum. Okay. Particularly to stand up for civil rights. That's much of what the. Oh, here's distracting. This museum does. Okay. And so anyway, that's, that's all I can say about it. I mean, I had had fun doing it. I, you know, encourage people to come to the state of Illinois and gamble in our casinos here. We have some really lovely places. What he's doing to distract there he goes out to Vegas. He plays, obviously gambles a hell of a lot. He's got a lot of money from his family and all of that. And then he tries to make it about his, his casino night for the Holocaust Museum in Chicago. Wow, what a piece of work he is. Jim Gossett. JB Klings won a million plus at blackjack. Most folks are saying that's a big fat line. That's because JB is dishonest. Not to mention a Big fat guy. He ought to know when to diet. He ought to try it. Yeah. He should know when to walk away from the buffet. He never counts his car when he's sitting at the table. Dustin Hoffman. He granted his own zip code. Most any. Any day he's got to try a salad. That would be valid. Step on a treadmill. Yeah. Lay off the bread. Instead of taking lots of trips out to Las Vegas, stay in Illinois and do your job instead. Yeah. He's never gonna be the president. He's not likable at all. He's not likable. He's a disgusting human being. And he has terrible, terrible policies. And he's caused lots and lots of death. A lot of prolonging of the killing spree that's been happening in Chicago for many, many years. Many, many years. And he's standing in the schoolhouse doors just like George Wallace did. Okay, so I did want to mention this. Yesterday's kind of a big deal. And, you know, this is relatively recent in my memory. We had to go through fertility treatments. We were trying to have our daughter. We tried forever, right? We tried forever. Had no luck doing that. And then it was really weird because after trying, after buying all these shots and everything, spending all this money going to. Going to a clinic and, you know, having to separate, I go into one room, she goes to the other, you know, you know, that's. That's a lot of fun and all of that. And then finally we moved to Washington, D.C. and we just decided to recreationally enjoy the company of one another. And boom, boom, pregnancy, it was just kind of happened. So that was kind of cool. But it looks like Donald Trump's going to make the cost of an IVF cost a whole lot less. I definitely want to. Definitely want to have that. No Kings protest because this is clearly the act of a king. We're here today to announce a historic victory for American women, mothers and families with the actions I will outline this afternoon by the. Wait a minute. The Democrat Party says that the greatest thing you can do as a woman is to abort your baby. Afternoon will dramatically slash the cost of IVF and the treatment and many of the most common fertility drugs for countless millions of Americans. Prices are going way down. Way, way down. I love it. I wonder how many kids were not born because people couldn't afford it. Because, I mean, it's prohibitive. It's prohibitive. Many have had to say, now, we, we just can't do it. We. We cannot have a baby. I mean, there is adoption. I get it, absolutely. I'm adopted. My, my, my parents won the lottery. Yeah, I know you're thinking he's gosh darn what it would have been like to get Rob Carson as a son. You, I know, I know what you're thinking. I know you look at your children, you're like, oh, we had you, we could have had Rob Carson. I know. I get this all the time. I do. I get it all the time. But then there's this. The Trump administration laid off many of this Office of Population affairs, kind of like usa, kind of as scurrilous as USA during their Democrat led shutdown. The move but decimates an agency overseen by the HHS. Now the, the OPA, which has existed for 50 years, deals with reproductive and adolescent health like teen pregnancy, family planning, sterilization, as well as other population issues. But they've steered mostly into abortion and child sex changes because that's how they are. It looks like someone, a member of staff asked about their employment status, said they'd been shut out of their emails because they're being laid off. Called a reduction in force, the HHS employees who receive reduction in force notices were designated non essential by their respective divisions. Reproductive health advocates, often a left wing euphemism for abortion activists, told the Times scrapping the LPA would deprive women of clinical critical services that allow them to decide whether and when they want to have children. In other words, kill the baby. Stop it. Everybody gets it now. You're not lying anymore. Just say, instead of calling the board, just saying, kill the baby. It's okay, you know, we know, we all get it. We're not cool with it. We want it to stop, but you might as well just tell the truth. Cats out of the bag, as it were. For a limited time, the office has been instructed to focus on infertility issues to combat the declining birth rate in the US So they Donald Trump is ordering what's left of the agency to do the opposite of what the agency has been doing, which is promoting abortion and child sex changes. For God's sake, learn code. How about that? How about you learn some code? This is good news for people trying to have kids. This on the heels of lowering drug costs so you don't have to drive to Mexico or, or Canada in an RV with your, with your friends like so many elderly people have had to do the last few years. It's remarkable. But go ahead and have your no kings protest and protest the goodness that's happening in the country. Whatever you do. Let's Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president. I love that. It makes me so happy. I'm just in a good mood today. I hope you're in a good mood today. I hope. If not, I. You know, there are two ways you can react to somebody in a good mood. You can go, shut up or you can go, hey, I'm in a good mood too. I hope that you're in a good mood as well. I went out last night. I went to Old Town Alexandria, King street not far from here and had dinner at a nice Italian joint. It's called Il Porto. And I got an agent, her name's Stephanie and she's awesome. And just, it was just to get glorious and then. But a bunch of high school kids were down there and they were walking around wide eyed and everything. And I said, where are you kids from? We're from Minnesota. And I'm like, oh my God, it's so insane now. Actually. I said, I used to live there. It was cool. It was cool. I love being so close to other people. And today it's a lovely day here and I want to walk down to the Potomac River. It's a block away and it's, it's, it's stunning. The Potomac river. If you haven't been here, it's, it feels more like the ocean, it feels more like a bay than it does a river because you know, I lived in Kansas City. Missouri river is the Big Muddy. Dear Lord. You don't even, it's, you wouldn't, I mean, you wouldn't want your body disposed of. There is that, it's just no boats on that. Just, it's a, it's a piece of crap. But the Potomac is quite lovely. It's quite lovely. So I'm going to go there today and, and hang out and all of that. I do have a little, a little winning update here. A little winning here, folks. We love to win, winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. It's all so good. Oh, you better have a no kings protest because. Oh my God. Oh my God. The treasury unveiled the US income statement for the just concluded fiscal year 2025. And it looks like total tax revenue $543 billion were the highest since April. 3.2% improvement from a year ago pushed a six month long moving average to a record high $496 billion. With the US government spending only 346 billion, a sharp drop from the 689 billion in August and dropping 25% from the 463 billion last September. Even ro remarkable is that the six month moving average of government spending suddenly slumped from 604 billion, the highest since COVID to 400,573 billion, the lowest since June, excuse me, of 2024. It's kind of cool. And then also this is going to do. If you're a Wall Street Journal reader, you're going to be bummed out, man. Because collected record tariffs of $29.7 billion in September, which translated in a record 195 billion doll revenue for the fiscal year. And since Trump's tariffs regime was Only active for 6 for the last 12 months, expected tariffs deliver $350 billion in annual income every year. That's what they're saying, but probably much more than that because that's the way it goes. So that's good news. You Wall Street Journal readers, you can step off the ledge again because you are wrong about everything. Everything. So last night, Jay Jones and Jason Miaras had a debate. It was not, I mean, it was not even a match. Jay Jones ended up looking like a moron. He of course fantasized about murdering the head of the house in GOP house in, in the state of Virginia and murdering his children. And he wants to be the Attorney General. Here's a little exchange for the two of them.
A
Jason Mears in his office has not.
B
Lifted a single finger.
A
We have to hold this administration accountable.
B
And as your Attorney General, I will do just that for, for, for what exactly?
A
Jason hangs out with Donald Trump at Maga Rall.
B
See here I was going after Donald Trump like this. This matters at all.
A
Jason. I will see Jason married and Donald.
B
Trump in court as your next Attorney.
A
General because that's what this job requires.
B
And that's what this job needs. She is going to go after Donald Trump. That's what you're going to do. So that's, you're going to be the AG and you're going to go after Donald Trump for what? Because he did that for like nine years and all of the cases were bull crap. So that's what you're going to do. Okay, all right, Good luck with that there. Good luck with that there, Jay. In this moment, to protect Virginia, the.
A
Reality I've sued both administrations, the Trump.
B
Administration and The Biden administration.
A
I have sued to protect our veterans.
B
And their GI benefits. I've always put Virginians first. But the reality is Jay Jones is not a prosecutor. He is a politician. He wants to turn this into a political office. Yeah, he does. He does. Absolutely. 100%. And that's what Joe Biden did with the DOJ. Well, whoever was in charge of Joe Biden's brain at the time. So there was that. Here is Jason Drs shredding Jay Jones for his fantasizing and about murdering a political employment and his family.
A
And I find it a little bit.
B
Stunning that today you say one of the pillars of your public safety platform is protecting children. Were you protecting Jennifer's children when you said you wanted to see them die in their mother's arms? How can anybody who's ever worked in any of the crimes against children, all of the. How about any, well, human being, let alone a father, Dear God, is a federal and state local law department.
A
How can they ever take you seriously.
B
Be the top prosecutor knowing that you view that children should die to advance a political agenda? It's unconscionable. And if you were truly sorry, you would not be running for this. And he shouldn't be running for AG because his texting would have caused him to not pass a background test to work in the department he wants to be in charge of. So there's that. Yeah, there is that. Last night in. In New York, of course, there was another debate. You know, right now, pretty much the choice of the Democrat party is a crap sandwich without the bread. And then Curtis Sliwa. I love Sliwa. You know, Am I praying for a miracle? Hell yeah. Would I love to see Curtis Sliwa as the mayor? As unlikely as it. As it appears to be, hell yes. I mean, the guy, nobody has given up more, sacrificed more, including his life. I mean, numerous times was shot trying to make New York City safe. And nobody has more New York City flowing through his veins than Curtis Sliwa. He's given every ounce of his being to the city of New York. And here he is taking down the other two idiots. Thank God I'm not a professional politician. We have the architect and we have the apprentice of no cash bail, which has been a disaster. We have the architect and the apprentice here of raise the age. My own son was almost killed because of that in a gang attack. We have the architect and we have the apprentice of Clothes Rikers island, which would just release criminals in the street. Thank God I'm not a professional politician. There you go. Here is Zoran Mandami being a full blown socialist slash communist about taxes and redistributing the wealth.
A
I would be the mayor of this entire city. And that means ensuring that the wealth that we generate in this city is also wealth that every single New Yorker can actually feel in their pockets. Because what we have today is a system that has generated the most wealth.
B
In the wealthiest country in the history of the world where one in four.
A
Of our neighbors are living in poverty. That's unacceptable. We can't look at 500,000 kids hungry every single night as just the cost of doing business in this city.
B
Why haven't you done it with the social welfare program? Democrats? You've been talking about it forever. You never fix a damn thing. And here's the thing. You know, maybe I'd like to live in Monte Carlo, but I can't afford to live in Monte Carlo. You can't expect the other people to pay so you can afford to live in Monte Carlo. I couldn't afford to live in New York either, so I wouldn't live in New York. How about that? Let's take a break and come back. Mary Walter joins us next on the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. You know, when I was a kid and I would ride in a car, I would get so car sick and so nauseous my parents would have to carry me into the house.

Hold on, here comes the hook. Mary Walter, how you doing on this Friday?
A
I am so gruesome with this crazy beat, man.
B
I know, I know, right? I'm not into the, the late 60s kind of that sound, not so much in like 5th dimension and whatnot. But, you know, that actually kind of sounded good today. Not too bad. So you, you live on the Northeast and New York. New York City. Did you watch the. The debate last night in New York City for mayor?
A
I did not, unfortunately, because I was actually in Manhattan yesterday and got home and went to bed.
B
Okay, got you. You were on Newsmax a good share of yesterday. You looked lovely, by the way. Looked. Looked lovely yesterday. So that was nice.
A
That is the joy of professional hair and makeup and understands exactly what I'm talking about.
B
I just for me, you know, for instance, I have to put a little makeup on for my TV show.
A
No, you are naturally ye.
B
Okay, whatever. And so I've never done makeup for myself, you know, And I went to Target like a couple weeks ago, and I don't know what base is. Right. So I had to ask women who are shopping there, listen, I do a TV thing. Can you tell me what I need here? And then, and then I said, what. What shade should I go with? And I had like three women gathering around me, giving me a consultation.
A
You loved it.
B
I did. I loved it. I was like, oh, really? Maybe you should put it on. Oh, yes, yes. So I don't know. I. I'm hoping against hope that a miracle could happen in New York, but I'm afraid that Mondami is going to be the mayor. What do you think?
A
Yeah, I agree. It's getting hard because we were actually, this was the conversation in the green room yesterday because there were several New York politicians who were in and out, and I was there all day yesterday.
B
Yeah.
A
And, yeah, Mamdani's going to win, and it's. It's insane. But understand that most New Yorkers, like, they have like a 13% turnout for vote for elections.
B
Yeah.
A
So when you don't vote, most people just don't care. Clearly. They just don't care. The 1% who he wants to tax, it's something like 52%. They're going to move out.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
They're going to go to wherever they want to go.
B
They'll go to.
A
Come to Jersey, of course. Yay. You know, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas, the usual, you know, Florida, where they usually have fled since COVID Yeah. They'll just Leave after either not voting or voting for Mamdani and leave the businesses that he wants to tax. I think he's. I think they're also like something like 52%. He said he's matching New Jersey's tax rate. They'll move out of the city confines. They'll either move to, like, Westchester or something like that, but they'll move out of the city confines, out of the five boroughs, or they'll go to New Jersey or elsewhere. They'll just pick up if they have the ability and leave.
B
Leave. Yeah. Yeah, I remember. Hannity left, Rush left. I mean, there's a point where you just got to realize that you return on your, you know, theft. I won't call it an investment. The theft from you. It's just not worth it. And I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how you could love. I guess I understand loving New York, but, you know, no, no. There are a lot of other places you could live a very great quality of life without all the damn traffic and everything and the pot smoke everywhere you go and certainly a lot lower taxes. It's a damn shame, to be quite honest, because New York is an amazing experience.
A
It is. But I wonder if they just have to think so far down as if de Blasio wasn't enough. Dinkins was awful, and. And then the city got better because Giuliani came in and Bloomberg kind of kept going.
B
What.
A
What Giuliani had done. Bloomberg was pretty much along the lines of Giuliani. And it was great. I would be in the city. I'd walk through Penn Station to get the. I walked through Times Square to get to the last train at Penn Station at 1:00am oh, there's somebody at my door. There would be somebody at my door. I have a big sign up. Don't ring the doorbell. But anyway, they have to keep going through all this in order to find out that this just doesn't work.
B
No, it's. It's. The problem is you have a lot of young ignoramuses who have never been taught history properly and they're willing to repeat it even though it's failed, failed, failed, failed a million times. We know this. Dear God. Good news, though. It looks like maybe New Jersey is leaning towards Cittarelli. Cittarelli seems like a good guy. And Mikey, Cheryl is, you know, another. Another Karen, along the lines of the Karen running in Virginia. What do you think about that race?
A
I think Cittarelli definitely pulls it off. And I hope when somewhere else, yours Does. I don't know if she will.
B
Yeah, well, she's in the margin of error and we're still a couple weeks out, so I have a good feeling about it. Plus, I have a feeling this J. Jones scandal. And by the way, the debate last night in Virginia was just. He was shredded. He was just destroyed by Jason Miaris. And I. And I have a feeling that race is going to trickle up and trickle down to Lieutenant Governor and Governor. I really do. Because it's a metaphor for the Democr. Democrat Party, I think, to some degree.
A
You know what? I did not have a lot of hope. The Democrats are wonderful. And this was part of the conversation yesterday, too. Like, Republicans need to learn to ignore stuff as if it's no big deal the way Democrats do. Yeah, they need to do that. And Meares, you know, really came after jj. He's really sorry. What I wish was, I was hoping Miaris would have said to him was like, you know, you could be sorry for it, but the fact that, you know, it is appalling. It is all those things you said, but what you didn't say, and it is sick. You even have the thought to wish death on an opponent and his children. You don't need forgiveness. You need counseling.
B
Oh, my God. Or an exorcism. One of the. Honestly, it's so. And he wants to. And the thing is that series of texts would have disqualified him from a background check to work in his department.
A
You know, great point. It's so true. It's so true. You know, Republicans and. Can I just for one hot second, go back to New York?
B
Yes. Yes.
A
In New York, you need Cuomo to drop out or Sliwa to drop out. And obviously Sliwa should drop out. He is polling at the lowest. The problem is that his supporters, even if he asks them to, will not galvanize behind Cuomo.
B
No.
A
And that's a problem. So instead of biting the bullet and taking half a loaf of bread that you get with Cuomo, they'll go hungry and literally starve with Mandani.
B
I don't know.
A
So the thought process, sometimes Republicans and more conservative leaning voters are their own worst enemy.
B
Yeah. You know, New York and California are like those, those kids who decide to, you know, leave the family, you know, go live with a biker. You kind of like, okay, just go ahead in the sky. Just go ahead. You live your life. You can come back to me. We'll, we'll. We'll walk you back into the fold. When you pull your hat out of your butt. But honestly, ridiculous. Before we take the break here and then I got a lot of other stuff to cover with you. What about this no Kings, the protest about nothing tomorrow nationwide. Your thoughts on the no Kings protest tomorrow?
A
You know, it's so weird. We're the only country in which a authoritarian fascist dictator allows protests against him.
B
I know, I know. And where Hitler actually brings peace to Israel. Right.
A
You're just a dumb.
B
He's the worst Nazi ever.
A
It's not even worth nothing. It's not even that, though. This is about Palestine. This is, you're going to see Palestinian flags.
B
Oh, God. Yeah.
A
This, this is, this is what this is about. This is nothing to do with any of that. This is to create chaos, this is to create anarchy and this is that people beg for more government intervention.
B
Yeah, exactly. Well, we got more stuff I want to get to, including this, this story about a mom being placed on a child abuse registry for letting a 13 year old babysit, which is, is utterly ridiculous. It brings up questions about over monitoring overprotecting children. We'll cover that. On the other side of the break with Mary Walter. This is the Rob Carson show. So it's kind of interesting if you take a step back here, we're having this big no Kings rally. Right. The Democrats are very excited about it. But, but what is a king? Well, a king is somebody who believes that he has the right to rule regardless of what the people think. And what are we actually seeing right now in Washington with this government shutdown? We're seeing the Democrats who lost in sweeping historic fashion last November. They're saying, no, if you want to keep the government open, you must submit to our demands. Our demands that you reverse the bill that you passed earlier this year. Yeah. You know, there are a million ways that Democrats are display their hypocrisy. As my friend Chris Plant likes to say, if it weren't for double standards, Democrat would have none at all. And Greg Gutfeld said it best. If Donald Trump were a king, they wouldn't be able to have the protest. So there are a myriad ways you can make fun of these idiots for another nonsensical protest. Six months ago, Elon Musk was a Nazi. Apparently he's no longer a Nazi. So they got to come up with another target. It is extraordinary. Mary Walter on the, on the Newsmax hotline. It is, it is remarkable. I thought about, I asked Mike Carter, he works for Newsmax, if he wanted to go down to the no Kings contest or contest the no Kings rally. He goes, oh, hell, no, no, you're not going to accomplish anything. You're just going to have a bunch of people screaming at you and it's best to just let them go.
A
Yeah, we laugh at them. I think at our own peril. We've seen before, we play before and, and we can ignore them and everything, but this has played out in Cuba, in Korea, in China. This has played out all across the world.
B
Yes.
A
And you know, they're not on the ascension, Mary.
B
They're not on the ascension. They're on the declination. I.
A
Well, who of whom are you speaking? Who's on the left?
B
The radical left around the world is being driven into the pits of hell. That's the way it's going now. I'm not saying we need to take our foot off the gas, but at the same time, I'm not going to get too worked up about another weekend protest with all the other ones. They're looking like fools at this point.
A
Yes, no, I agree. However, there's an asterisk for we can laugh at them and we're saying they're on the decline, but we're going to have a 33 year old nepo baby with zero work experience in running the largest city in the country.
B
That is true. That is true.
A
And the largest economy in the country. So we can laugh all we want, but that's very dangerous for this entire country.
B
We do have to put, you know, like Smokey Bear, you got to put the fire out completely. You said this article, and this is, I was reading this yesterday, Pennsylvania, Reasonable independence for children. Bill pushes back on overzealous child neglect laws. Tell for those who don't know about the story. Tell about the story.
A
Yeah. So what it is is basically trying to bring common sense back to allowing children to have a life and to run free, you know, not constantly be under the thumb of their parents. And they cite different cases where, you know, a mom who allowed her, I think it was 13 year old child watch the one year old.
B
Yeah.
A
Babysit the one year old. And she got slapped with like child abuse charges.
B
Oh my God.
A
You know, a kid, one woman let a 10 year old kid go to the store by himself, walk to the store by himself. She got arrested.
B
Yeah, well, when I was a kid, I walked to the store for my dad's cigarettes.
A
Exactly, exactly. Well, New York kids, I was 13 years old. 13 years old. I was getting paid to other, to watch other people's children in the neighborhood. Like I would go to their house when the parents were out to dinner. Or whatever and watched three kids at the age of 13. I made like a dollar.
B
It's remarkable. And we were thinking. I was thinking of talking about earlier this morning, some of the stupid crap that I did. And I mean, I can't even begin to quantify the idiocy that I did. One time we took an inner tube, we set it on fire, and when the rubber is burning and it drips, it goes, pew, pew, pew. And I started swinging it around and it ended up splattering rubber. Burning rubber on my brother, and it was still on fire. You know, that's the kind of stupid crap we did.
A
Yes. Well, no one said that, you know, how old are you at the time? Like 13. No one said that. 13.
B
27.
A
Brightest products on the planet. You know, I mean, that's why I think that, you know, young boys between the ages of like 10 and 25.
B
Yes.
A
Need to be accompanied by a female at all times.
B
We are stupid.
A
The girl who's gonna go, I don't think this is a really good idea, you guys.
B
Did you have a baby tenderlove doll when you were a kid? My sister did. We made it into a squirt gun because you used to give it liquid and then it had a little P hole there and you. And we made it. You squeeze the stomach and you can make it into a squirt gun. It's pretty fun.
A
Yeah. No, I did not have. Have one of those. My father was very disappointed that I was not a boy. So I was raised with Matchbox cars and train sets and cars and all that stuff.
B
And you didn't change your gender. You didn't put you on puberty blockers.
A
I will say, if I had been. If, if I had been a child, this, this, my parents would have had me because I was like, I hate being a girl. I'm not wearing a dress. I was in trees. I was building sports, I was playing war. I had the trucks.
B
It was. It was fun, right? It was. It was fun.
A
We were allowed to do it unsupervised. My parents, like my nieces, do not understand when I tell them that Grandma and Grandpa had no idea where we were.
B
Yeah.
A
From like 10 o' clock in the morning, especially in the summer when my mother told us to leave and don't come back until the back porch light was on or the front porch light was on. Don't come back until we see that we didn't. We weren't allowed the house for water. We drank out of the hose. And we knew for a little Bit to get the hot water out, cold water. We knew which berries you could eat in the woods and what you couldn't eat, you know?
B
I know.
A
And we somehow managed to survive. And my mother just had faith that we would not kill ourselves and come home.
B
I remember my kids when they would, you know, come in with a little scrape and they had nothing. They never had stitches or anything, you know, like we did when we were kids. And I would just say, rub it out. Just rub it out. Okay. Honestly. Wah wah. You're not bleeding all over the place. Put a band aid on it and rub it out.
A
Yeah, well. And I read it. Part of that article that I sent you.
B
Yes.
A
Talks about a study that was done that finds that, you know, kids now, this generation especially coming up, and I was watching it yesterday with some of the younger people. She's like, I can't do that. You know, I have a bad anxiety problem. I'm like, oh, my God.
B
Honestly.
A
Is because they. They never learned how to get out of jams or things like that on their own.
B
Exactly.
A
How to know, you know, like, we knew as kids what time it was based on where the sun was in the sky. We were basically feral. And so we knew we had to get home.
B
That's true. That's perfect way to put it. The last feral generation. Generation X. Oh, that's fantastic, Mary. Walter, we gotta run. Where can people find all of your work and how. I mean, you've been on Newsmax a lot lately.
A
Where can we see you on newsmax? Actually at 4:15 today, I'll be on end two on. I think I'm on Todd Starnes show today.
B
Cool.
A
Sad that I don't know where I am. And then Monday I'll be on with Chris upstate. I'll be between 4 US 5 and 6, as I always am. And then Tuesday is my podcast, Mary Walter radio live, 7:15pm Eastern on YouTube, getter and rumble. And it's interactive, it's a live cast. And Rob has been on it. And so I don't know who my guest is yet, though. I got to work on that.
B
All right, Mary, we appreciate you have a glorious weekend. Okay. All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Last night in New York, they had the debate, the candidates debate, as it was. And this is Kaylee McEnany's thoughts on. It's pretty. Pretty accurate.
A
Extremely poorly. She said that in rural communities there are rivers on fire because of companies that. You're talking about AOC here dumping pollution into them. One company she named is Deloitte. Deloitte is an accounting firm. Deloitte does not dump chemicals to rivers. No, I do not fear aoc.
B
No.
A
There's a socialist takeover of the party. That is what I fear.
B
Yes.
A
AOC is not the embodiment of said socialist takeover. The embodiment of it is Zoran Mamdani. You're exactly right that New York is running the Democratic Party. But we are a stone throw away from a socialist taking over the largest city in America.
B
Yes.
A
And it's frightening, Jesse. The government run grocery stores we all know are going to fail, have demonstrably failed. That's scary. The charter schools he's going to shut down that serve underserved communities, that's scary. The gang database going away, crime in the streets, that's scary.
B
Yep.
A
But the scariest thing of all, Jesse, Listen, AOC aside, because I don't think she has the brains to quite pull it off. No, Mamdani does. He's very smart. And when he doesn't answer a question about Hamas. Yes, Dearming. Demilitarizing. What he is saying is he is okay with Hamas strangling a nine month child, Kafir Beavis. What he is saying is he's okay with Avinatan or who was put in a cage with five other hostages and handcuffed to the to the cage for two years. He is saying that is okay and that he is on the side of terrorists. I know that's hard to hear, but that is what he's saying. So aoc, she doesn't have the wit to do it. That is a very smart man, Zoran Mamdani. And I very much fear should he take the mayor's race, he could go on to run for president. And that is a frightening prospect.
B
Everything she said about his refusal to denounce Hamas, his refusal to say they lay down their arms, his refusal to. To end the violent rhetoric like from the river to the Sea shows who he is. He's a very dangero, very dangerous man with a slick smile on his face. If you live in New York City and you're Jewish and you don't vote or you vote for Mandami, you're voting for your own doom. I am not screwing around here. This man is a danger because he is a combination of failed policies that have resulted in enormous poverty and starvation, but also in. In the hatred of the Jewish state, in the defunding of the police, and he is a genuine danger. He has no life experience, no job experience and should not become the mayor. And if New York lets this happen, they're going to be screwed. There you go. Yan Yo, New York, you elect this guy. Yan yo. Last hour of the Rob Carson. Joe's right ahead. Don't go anywhere. Morning, Zoe. Got donuts.
A
Jeff Bridges, why are you still living above our girl?
B
Well, I dig the mattress and I want to be in a T mobile commercial like you. Teach me. So, Dana.
A
Oh no, I'm not really prepared. I couldn't possibly at t mobile get the new iPhone 17 Pro on them. It's designed to be the most powerful iPhone yet and has the ultimate pro camera system.
B
Wow, impressive. Let me try. T mobile is the best place to get iPhone 17 Pro because they've got the best nutmeg work.

Nice.

The Rob Carson Show Episode: Rob Carson and Mary Walter Torch the ‘No Kings’ Protest Date: October 17, 2025
This lively episode of The Rob Carson Show, joined by frequent guest Mary Walter, delivers a comedic, sharp-edged dissection of the week's major political news, with a special focus on the impending “No Kings” national protest. Rob and Mary skewer progressive activism, criticize high-profile politicians, reminisce about the "feral" Generation X upbringing, and debate the future of key elections—particularly in New York and Virginia. The conversation blends substantial policy critique with irreverent humor, reflecting their signature style of melding entertainment and political insight.
This episode is an energetic blend of old-school conservative satire and pointed political commentary. The “No Kings” protest is framed as irony—proof of America’s freedom rather than evidence of creeping fascism. The hosts paint a bleak picture of urban policy under progressive leadership, warning of an exodus of residents and businesses. Amidst the mockery, there’s a note of nostalgia for tougher, less sheltered times and a concern that modern youth—and liberal politics—have become too fragile and out of touch with practical reality.
For listeners, this episode offers a humorous but urgent right-leaning critique of current events, poking at progressive orthodoxy while calling for political sanity, personal resilience, and a return to common sense.
