Now you are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny.
B
Show in America on air and on the World Wide Web.
A
This is Rob Carson Show. Every Republican who's gone on TV the last 12 hours or so has called this the Schumer shutdown. What do you say about that name? Senator Schumer, can you hear me? I can't hear Senator Schumer, can you hear me? I don't think Senator Schumer can hear me right now. Maybe the government shut down included audio on Capitol Hill.
B
You never know. I mean, because you know, the Republicans want to kill children in their everything. You know, and all of that and wow, the government has been shut down. Today is October 1st by the way, the first day of the government shutdown for those who are affected by this, I am not unsympathetic. I hope that you are reinstated today. I know many of you will be working without a paycheck. I know many of you in ICE are actually kind of like, okay, well we'll do it for free for a while. We don't, because we're finally able to do our jobs and all of that. But. But the government has been shut down. The Democrat Party has decided they wanted to take a clean and muck it up with a bunch of bull crap and once again extort more money out of the American taxpayer and lie about what it's for and all that. And they want to give health care to illegal aliens and all that. I could say illegal aliens now without being kicked off of social media and everything because the Democrat Party can't censor me again. But that's really what this is all about and it's not working. It's not working at all. A wide majority of Americans reject the Democrat push to shut down the government, which will happen and did happen starting last night. This is a shock pull from the New York Times. And guess who they're blam. The Democrat Party. All across the board. A majority of all respondents, 65%, said Democrats should not shut down the government, compared to just 27% who said they should. Surprisingly, Democrats themselves remain relatively split as less than a majority. 47% said they believe fellow Democrats should shut down the government if their demands are not met. However, 43% said they should not. So basically people are understanding, oh yeah, the Democrat Party does this crap all the time. And now they don't have the means to carry their water because nobody's watching abc, cbs, NBC, pbs, npr, pbs, whatever the hell, they're not. They're not paying any attention to them anymore. So they don't control the, the, the stories, they don't control the narrative anymore. And everybody understands it's just the Democrats being d words for Richard, which is what they do. And here's a Chuck Schumer yesterday in the Senate talking about the oh, there are new polls, polls that are showing that it's the Democrats fault. And then he realizes, oops, oops. The poll comes from the new.
A
I know the leader is going to show a poll that says that Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased, biased in the New York Times, but it's biased if you turn the.
B
Laughing at you, you old. Oh my God.
A
I don't always believe the New York Times.
B
No. Do you? Yeah.
A
Okay.
B
Yeah. You know why people are blaming the Democrat Party? Because this is the Democrat Party, okay. This is the Democrat Party. Since Donald Trump was elected in a landslide, we are not only going to.
A
Punch you back, but we are going to knock you out. We are ready to fight fire with fire. No butter knife to the gunfight. We are ready to bring the fire, bring the heat. This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather. Right. Which would bring a pencil to a knife fight. We're bringing a knife to a knife fight. This is an all out war and everything is on the table.
B
Yeah. The Democrat Party has an approval rating just above toenail fungus. I believe it's 19%. And they're acting like they have control of the narrative. They have control of both houses of Congress and all that. And, and I told you, they're dying like movie vampires. They are falling into hell trying to drag us in with them. Here's earlier this year when there were riots starting around the country. Just like in the summer 2020 when the Democrats allowed $2 billion worth of damage and 30 people murdered thousands of police officers.
A
Despite administrations calling the protests lawless, Los Angeles police said Saturday's demonstrations remained peaceful.
B
Except for the burning of the cars.
A
Most of the crowds again, that I saw, that I spoke to, that I was interacting with. These are peaceful people that want to get their message across. The vast majority of these actions have been peaceful and that there are lots of folks.
B
Yeah, yeah. And then this is the Democrat party within 100 days of Donald Trump being elected. Even though he's brought $17 trillion into the country for manufacturing, he has brought peace between 12 countries. Looks like peace in the middle. EAS shut down the southern border 100%. And this is the democrat party.
A
It is 100 days of chaos from one end of the government and one end of the country to the other. They are driving us toward a painful Republican recession. Tariffs that as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession. This is an economic Armageddon that's coming for the US consumer and the economy. You see all.
B
Almost 10 months into it, none of this crap has happened.
A
His cabinet members, his other aides going on TV and you know, glorifying the tariff.
B
McGinnis, you know, you're a bunch of fricking petulant toddlers. A little petulant Marxist toddlers. And America gets it. America gets it. Even government workers are saying, yeah, it's a frickin Democrat party. They're doing it and we're done with it. 80% of us believed the country was headed in the wrong direction while Donald Trump was being elected. 80% of us came together to say. But now 80% of us say we're in the middle of a political crisis, which means 80% of us know it's the freaking Democrats. It's the Democrats. Everybody understands it. Now here's Mike Johnson calmly explaining what a clean CR is.
A
We sent to the Senate a clean cr what that means. It's a very short stopgap funding measure so that the appropriators in Congress, in both parties can continue to work doing.
B
The appropriations bills, trying to cram everything through in a couple thousand page bill nobody's read in the middle of the night and increase spending dramatically like they did in 2020 with the COVID We've.
A
Made a lot of progress in that. We just need a little more time. Because tonight is the end of the fiscal year. Chuck Schumer has refused to give the extra time. Why? Because we won't agree to return to restore health care to illegal aliens. Because we won't agree to give a half a billion dollars back to the corporation.
B
Yes, Screw them apart. Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
A
Public broadcasting. He wants to cut the big fund of $50 billion that we set aside to support and prop up rural hospitals in America because we won't agree to those partisan demands. And one and a half trillion dollars in new spending on a seven week stopgap funding measure. He's, he's decided to shut the government down. It's real pain for real Americans.
B
It is, it is. And by the way, for those of you who are down with the illegal aliens getting health care and all that, I'm doing a little shopping for health care because she had, is going through this divorce thing. So I got to get to healthcare outside of the healthcare that my family had. I'm doing it solo now, right? I'm a healthy dude, man. I, I don't drink, I don't smoke. I work out the whole deal. We're starting at about 800 freaking dollars a month and that's with a $7,000 copay. Not a copay, but a deductible. So everything like $7,000 gonna be about 700 to 800 now. 750, $800 a month with a $7,000 deductible. Meaning that it's just catastrophic. We're just going to be looking at catastrophic. So honestly, as far as illegal aliens get in health care, how about go back to your countries where you came from get your own freaking health care. Because honestly, it's a little bit much when you're considering that what I'm going to pay for health care, I could buy a real nice car for that. I could have a real nice car. Hell, I could even pay a good share of my rent with that, for God's sake. But about $800 just for health care, that covers catastrop. Everything else is out of pocket. Every visit is going to be out of pocket. Everything's going to be out of pocket just as something big happens, you know, then I'll, I'll be taken care of after I pay them $7,000. So honestly, I just have no time for this bull crap anymore, to be quite honest. And it's going to be. It's damned expensive for us to live here, let alone to take care of the whole damned world coming here for free bennies. Here's John Thune of the Senate talking about the Democrats and what they pulled to get us to this shutdown.
A
The Democrat caucus here in town in the Senate has chosen to shut down the government over a clean, nonpartisan funding bill. That's right. A clean, nonpartisan funding bill it is. We didn't ask Democrats to swallow any new Republican policies. We didn't add partisan riders. We simply asked Democrats to extend existing funding levels to allow the Senate to continue.
B
That's pretty extreme. Racist, homophobic and homosexual. Or it's bad. It's racist.
A
The bipartisan appropriations work that we started. And Senate Democrats said no.
B
Yeah.
A
Why?
B
Because they're D words for Richard.
A
Because far left interest groups and far left Democrat members wanted a showdown with the president. And so Senate Democrats have sacrificed the American people to Democratic partisan interests. I hope it will be some comfort for Americans dealing with shuttered government services to know that MoveOn.org and other far left organizations are happy with this vote. Democrats may have chosen to shut down the government tonight, but we can reopen it tomorrow.
B
Yeah.
A
All it takes is a handful of Democrats to join Republicans to pull their.
B
Heads out of their butts, pass the.
A
Clean nonpartisan funding bill that's in front of us.
B
Here's one of the positives here is that the Democrats shutting down the government like this, and they did. It's their fault and everybody knows it. Russ Vaught, the OMB director, says this gives Donald Trump permission to cut, permanently cut permanently government spending that Joe Biden bloated because of COVID And we're going.
A
To manage this shutdown and try to keep the American people from the havoc that the Democrats have caused with their crazy demands. But let it be said, there are all manner of authorities to be able to keep this administration's policy agenda moving forward. And that includes reducing the size and scope of the federal government. And we will be looking for opportunities to do that.
B
All right, there you go. Got to look for. Whenever a door is closed, you, you, you find another opportunity and it's going to happen. And the Democrat Party does not have the, the ability to hold sway like they used to. I got some audio from Chuck Schumer in 1996 and Nancy Pelosi in 2007 saying we can't pay for ille. But you see, now they see illegal votes because they can't get votes from regular Americans because they're so terrible that nobody wants to vote for them anymore. So there's, there's that. Hey, guys. 800-922-6680 is the number. This, my friends, is an October 1st edition of the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere.
A
Go to Newsmax.com listen for detail. We'll probably have a shutdown because one.
B
Of the things they want to do is they want to give incredible Medicare Cadillac, the Cadillac Medicare to illegal immigrants. And what that does is it keeps them coming into our country and in many cases, they come in from prisons, jails, and mental institutions. And we can't let that happen. The last person that wants it shut down is us.
A
Now, with that being said, we can.
B
Do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.
A
Right now it's like you're running the risk of plunging our nation into chaos. The president has a lot of levers he could pull. This is one we could pull. But why would, you know, like, why.
B
Would we pull that lever?
A
Because that allows him to, to pull a lot more levers and make a lot of changes about the government.
B
Yeah, there you go. By shutting down the government, Donald Trump can make more cuts. Here's Jim Gossett. The Democrats shut down and them all even down will be a gift to me. Clip, clip, clip. I see it as a firing opportunity. Hey, let the layoffs begin. America will win. Just, just you wait and see. Doody, doody doo. The Democrats just gave me an opportunity. Now I have a Chance, along with J.D.
A
Vance to make us more waste free.
B
A federal budget cutting opportunity. Hey, the budget. I'll reduce when thousands are cut loose, lest you rot.
A
I will make this another.
B
Opportunity. There you go. This is a big time opportunity and it's gonna backfire on the Democrats because they don't have an approval rating worth a damn. Because Americans know they're worthless. They're absolutely worthless. A violent mob of childish morons. And then also a whole bunch of them didn't have a problem with Charlie Kirk being sh. You know, so the American people and that people around the world are recognizing that the Democrat party is not a party for good. And they still think that they hold some sort of sway, that people are gonna fall for their snow jobs. Well, you know what? We don't want a snow job, so just knock it off. We don't believe your crap anymore, to be quite honest. Cuz you guys are just behaving like children. Like earlier this year, earlier this year, Donald Trump just suggested cutting some waste in government. And so they decided to label Elon Musk somehow a Nazi. Here's a guy who created these cars that Democrats love to drive. They love the Virtue Signal. Although the interesting thing about a Tesla versus Nissan Leaf or, or a Prius, which is a hybrid, which is a gas and electric, by the way. The, the difference between the Tesla is that the Tesla costs so much money. The Democrats won't put those, those stupid bumper stickers on them like coexist spelled in religious symbols. They don't do it on the Tesla. They don't. Nissan Leaf. You've got farms, not arms. You've got world peace. Visualize world peace. All that stupid crap that the Democrats put on their cars. Nissan Leaf, they generally put the bumper stickers on to hold the car together because they're such pieces of crap. I know because I sold some of them. I tried to sell a Nissan Leaf. The best thing to do with a Nissan Leaf, just get a big rake, rake them right into a pile. But anyway, sorry, you Nissan Leaf owners. Oh, by the way, I met this guy on the escalator on the elevator this morning and he had a really nice BMW in the garage. And I said, that's a very nice car. And we were getting on the escalator or the elevator and he said, he said, yes, it's 100% electric. And he acted like, he acted like, I mean, like he had a tude about it. Right. Kind of attitude about it. So I said, that's pretty cool. I said it was a great commuter cars. He goes, oh yeah. And we talked a little about the charging and all of this. And I said, yeah, but they're kind of worthless in cold weather and really worthless if you want to try to haul anything. And he had no response to it. He was real cocky. He was real cocky about his new electric beamer. Yeah, we'll see you in the winter there, buddy, when you need a jump. Anyway, anyway, this is the Democrat Party earlier this year when suddenly they just decided to burn Tesla dealerships.
A
Someone threw a Molotov cocktail at a Tesla service center. At least five Teslas blew up. When you pull out a chainsaw to celebrate firing thousands of people, they get mad. It's just a, you know, let's send these techno fascist and old fashioned Nazis a message loud and clear. The vandalism really shows the outright anger and rage that people are feeling about what Elon Musk is doing.
B
We should all be protesting in the.
A
Streets about this and be incredibly.
B
Yeah, nobody was protesting. They like the cuts, but that's your Democrat Party. They kept piling it on and piling it on and piling it on. And yesterday Donald Trump has this giant event in the White House and Pfizer's gonna invest $70 billion into making drugs here at home. Not fentanyl and meth by the way. Actually making drugs we need in the United States and causing the price of prescription drugs to drop between 50 and 85%. Yeah, that happened yesterday. You know what that's going to do to Medicare and Medicaid? It's going to make it less expensive and it's going to bring down the cost massively for us. Medicare and Medicaid is going to be much less out of your pocket. And the Democrat Party, what have they offered D word for? Richard? Joe Biden did something with insulin. He got it down to 45 bucks. Congratulations, that's great. What about every other friggin medication we have to take that costs an arm and a leg? What about those drug, those, those cancer drugs that cost thousands of dollars per shot? What about that? Oh yeah, well, Donald Trump took care of that yesterday while Chuck Schumer, you know, tried to blame the government shutdown on Donald Trump. See, this is why people don't trust you anymore. Here's the Democrat Party earlier this year bitching and whine about US Aid being cut. US Aid, which was a massive corrupt CIA program.
A
We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump wanting to be.
B
A dictator on day one. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
A
I want to apologize.
B
I want to say I'm sorry that.
A
You have to put up with this.
B
Offensive coming out of this White House.
A
If you want to know how unelected shadow government operates, look no further.
B
Yeah. You honestly, don't nobody even care. You know, when I. When I grew up in a church in St. Pat's in Neola, Iowa, they had this thing where if you had an unruly kid, you take him back to the cry room as a soundproof room. Back there, I never looked back there. You know, you never know what was going on back there. Hopefully there was a kid getting his rear end smacked a couple times, but that's your Democrat party. This need to be relegated to the cry room while the rest of us actually saved the country. But the big thing yesterday, and I think it's so glorious, by the way, that Donald Trump. Trump did what a couple years ago would have gotten you canceled. Canceled? Canceled. He. He took a sombrero and he put it on Hakeem Jeffries in an AI video and changed the voice of Chuck Schumer. And. And it offended a lot of people. Yay. And I just want to say that the day of offensive comedy is back, and thank God that day is here. If you are offended by something, be glad you can be offended. In a country that has the First Amendment, being offended meant the worst thing in the world to the left forever. And it was a conven way to shut us up. But now we can actually put a sombrero on some jackweed who wants to shut down the government and make fun of them, and all they can do is complain and whine and cater wallow. It's racist. It's racist. Nobody's listening to you anymore. Coming up, reaction to Pete Hegseth whipping the military into shape. Blaine Holt has some thoughts on that. Come on, Pete, stop moving. Come on. Got to get me there.
A
This is the story of a soldier.
B
Who operates your nation's Patriot missile defense systems.
A
Boom.
B
Stop.
A
Begins in California.
B
Yes.
A
With a little girl raised by two moms.
B
Yeah. Whoa. That is.
A
The U.S. army had a fairly typical childhood.
B
EMMA AD Emma. Where they thought it was more important to check some boxes to get people to join the military than actually, I don't know, be able to kick some ass, which I think is a little bit more important when it comes to the military. I could be wrong, but let's go ahead and ask Newsmax number one ass kicker, Blaine Holt, Brigadier General.
A
Get back to the warrior stuff.
B
I love it, by the way. You got this Dangerous Intellectuals podcast. Pretty good stuff, bro. I watched that yesterday. Listen to it.
A
Yes.
B
I love the intro. It's like, it's. It's very mysterious and very. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool, bro. But. But let's talk about the warrior ethos and how the Democrat party and the left wanted and succeeded in making the military weaker and how Pete Hegseth brought all these generals together yesterday and gave a little what for. Read him the riot act. What do you think about what he said yesterday?
A
First of all, I thought it was pitch perfect. I know, man, I don't have any. In fact, let me lend a little softness here. I thought that his humility and grace towards those who have lost their way or don't agree with the approach that we should be a sharp edged fighting force. He said, listen, go ahead and honorably resign and we'll honor your service. We're not out to humiliate you. No, here's the time that you should make that move because we are going to take this department back to 1990. We are going to take this department back to a place where, you know, we pushed authority down to the lower ranks, the E6s, the 03s, the captains and sergeants. And you know, for many of us, that's been the way we have taught leadership throughout all of the stupid nonsense vagaries of the Defense Department. From bluff and utter computer based training so that you're not supposed to off yourself or off Sally or hurt yourself or do something bad to the woke culture, the dei and the thing that's really hamstrung us men in dresses, climate change. This is not what we do. What we do is fight and win America's wars. And that's why we're now back to being the Department of War. Because, little thing, when we stop being the Department of War, we got into the Department of. Let's have endless wars with no defined end and no victory.
B
Yeah. And unlimited budgets, by the way, to, to, to spend as much as you want. You know, I was thinking about this yesterday. I'd like to hear it from somebody who went through basic, you know, but basic, there's a, there's a reason for basic and how hard the they are on you on basic. And it is not necessarily just coming down on people when, when a drill sergeant, you know, commands a platoon, this is about saving your life. This is about. It's actually an act of love to put somebody through basic and because it could save them and the people they serve with.
A
This is perhaps the most important thing when, when the military first off is one of the greatest things in America, the American experience. Because you can come in as a one strike buck Private and end up as a four star general and as a CEO of a company someday. So you can really transform the American experience. But what we do is we bring in individuals from all walks of life. Rich kids, poor kids, all kids in between. And then through the basic training experience, yes, we tear you down and then we build you back up. And the build you back up part is on the other side of that is not an individual but a team member. And we take you from individual and we say you are a part of something bigger than yourself. And then when you raise your hand and you take that oath of office to not a president, not a political party, to the Constitution of the United States of America, and you better damn well have read it, well then that's a sacred bond. That's a sacred trust. That's an oath that has no expiration even after your military service.
B
And you know, a lot of kids, they don't have a direction or they don't have a higher calling or they don't have a reason for being. And this is really crystallizing for people. And listen, I've seen this over my life. I've been on the planet a while here and everybody who I've seen have gone through basic. An unbelievable change and a real crystallization of someone as a human being when they were struggling before. And I think it is. And particularly now, thank God, Blaine, because I never would have recommended military service for anyone and didn't recommend military service for anyone while Joe Biden was the president. But right now, if you're looking at a career in the military, I would say, hell yes, the sky's the limit.
A
Well, I went and talked to a recruiter yesterday and they just won't take me. And I don't know if it's my mental needs or the fact that I'd be a ringer in pilot training and crush all the scores in the curve, but yeah, that's the spirit.
B
That is.
A
I can't tell you how many gray beards like myself are like, hey, General, if they get rid of a whole lot of people, are we going to be able to get back in?
B
And hell yeah.
A
I don't know. Lads, settle down.
B
Well, you couldn't fly those C17s at your age because you'd leave the blinker on for the entire flight. And people like, God, it's so annoying. It's so annoying. I want to. This is a media reaction the last 24 hours to Pete Hegseth speech. And of all the things blank, of all the damn things they could Complain about. First they're complaining about the ICE rounding up illegals. Then they're complaining about Donald Trump, you know, making D.C. essentially crime free and the possibility of doing that elsewhere. They're so wrong. And now Pete Hegseth goes in and says to these fat, lazy generals and says, we are going to make the military kick ass. We're going to get you focused again. Here's what they're saying.
A
Why is he obsessed with fat? He said he was going to return to the highest male standard for combat positions because the troops were fat. I just. I don't understand how that was supposed to be an uplifting message. Soldiers don't need to hear uplifting messages. They need to run a mile in under 10 minutes.
B
Yeah, you know, that's the View cast. I mean, we always listen for the. The View cast when it comes to, you know, their guidance. Oh, my God. They're talking about the people being fat. I mean, can you believe this nonsense?
A
It's. It's crazy. And Jesse Waters saying they need to be able to run a mile in under 10 minutes. No, Jesse, up. Your objective needs to be better than that. You know, what I saw this morning was as much as they'll make out of this speech being too harsh. Unfair soy boys crying in the street need a safe space. I'm seeing a rash of social media posts with uniformed personnel, officers and enlisted complaining or saying nasty things about the speech and everything in their uniform. Well, listen, there is nothing like that. That nothing more validates what Secretary Hegseth is doing. When you see our troops with no discipline like that officer.
B
Yes, yes.
A
Just impugning their discipline and their integrity, then you know, we're in trouble. And for the generals who say, oh, no, I have to have the military the way it was, well, then you're so out of touch. I'm certain you don't know anything about war fighting and you must go anyway, and we wish you well.
B
I want to continue this thought on the other side of the break with General Blaine Holt, because I've been seeing these videos popping up, and I want to. I wonder if that is insubordination when you do this publicly, and it should be. But if we could. If you could hold on, I would love to continue this conversation on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. It is a Rob Carson show. The Democrat Party, the left going crazy. Because yesterday Pete Hegseth said, if you want to be in the military, you can't be woke up. You can't be fat. You can't be a guy who wears a dress. And this is what they had to say to respond for Pete Hegson right now.
A
Look, I'd be as skinny as he was if I lived on a steady diet of Zen pouches and Jack Daniels. But like the idea that he goes around explaining why it's not okay for people to be fat in the military while the President United States waddles around the West Wing, you know, talking about people signals, okay?
B
He dispute Absolute nonsense. General Blaine Holt, Brigadier General Blaine Holt, US Air Force C17 Command. You know, here they are, they're just throwing little pot shots. They're little soy boy wusses. If you got them into the gym or you asked them to do some push up, honestly, you know what? This speech yesterday by Pete Hegseth made me want to up my ante in the friggin gym, man. It makes me want to kick ass even more.
A
Yeah, why, why, why do we fight for the lower standard? Why don't we aspire? And I did. I did hear Secretary Hexat said, hey, look, you're going to make mistakes. We're not going to drum you out of the military because you made a mistake. We're going to learn from our mistakes. We're going to be a learning organization. Not this pretend perfect, no blemish on your career thing, and we'll move on from there. You know, if, if your problem is Twinkies, well, we'll get after that. But this is not the crux of what the speech is about. Speech is about a warrior's ethos. And you know, the reason that physical fitness and low fat percentage is so important is so you look good in uniform. Yes, the generals need to lead by example. We're not asking them to take hills. But at the same time, if you're a general officer, you have to be able to. When you send people into harm's way, you don't write orders that you can't go accomplish yourself as a one star general. If somebody needed me to strap a C17 to my butt, if that's what was required, and take that Jetson place place, I could do it. And, and that's the mindset that he's promoting in our forces now, I will throw some slop back on the Secretary of War. So everybody just get ready.
B
All right?
A
All right. If you're going to ask for that, then you got to see the deal through the food supply chain and the drug supply chain that's getting to our forces is crap. You've got to get the Glyphosate out. You got to make natural foods happen. You got to go take a look at what we're serving our best and finest in these chow halls. And you got to eradicate it. That's the communion we expect and the faith we expect. Leadership.
B
Amen. Absolutely. 100. Now, there are a lot of active duty, not only enlisted, but also officers on social media mouthing off about this. And I got to tell you, if you're mouthing off about, first off about the Secretary of War against the Secretary of War, let alone the new edicts that he is implementing to make us more war ready, shouldn't this be considered as insubordination? Is there a corrective procedure that can be done to people doing this? This should not be allowed. It should not be allowed that anyone active duty should be able to sound off in an insubordinate fashion on social media where people can see it publicly. That is absolutely. It should be grounds for punishment or removal.
A
No, it's grounds for removal. They should all be under an Article 15 pursuant to a court martial right now. And then the other part of it is, if you find, you know, if you show me, if you show me troops like that, that are doing that, officer and enlisted behind every one of them, I'm going to show you a crappy commander. And so, so then let's go investigate the commander as well. If this is the command culture that they've developed for their commands, then, then, then they should face scrutiny as well. But they should be. But, but again, it's evidence to me that everything that Pete Hegseth said yesterday is valid. It's validated. We cannot have troops that don't have discipline. I guarantee you the adversaries that we will face on tomorrow's battlefield have the discipline. I don't know if you saw the Chinese parade on September 3rd.
B
Yeah.
A
But they're in pretty good shape. Looks like they were pretty disciplined. Well, we have to be able to meet these challenges, and we have to go beyond this nonsense to get to critical thinking, strategy, maneuver warfare, fifth generation warfare, new types of arms procurement reform. But you can't do those advanced things until you get the blocking tackling right. And that's where he went. It's a very valid message.
B
That was very interesting. Also, we're talking about the division between men and women and how the secretary didn't. He still says women can be in combat, but they have to meet the male standard. That's it. That's all. That's that. You have to meet that standard. Because everyone, regardless of whether they have girl parts or boy parts, is reliant on you. And. And so there was no. There was no, we don't need no women in the military. If anything, it was a complimentary. It's like, yeah, no, we need men and women in the military, and they have different roles.
A
If I could have edited one word, that speech, it would have been, I wouldn't have said, you're going to meet the man standard of the male standard. I would have said, you're going to meet the battlefield standard.
B
Okay, all right.
A
We train for battle, and you're training not to be at the woman's standard or the man standard. You're training to be able to save lives on the battlefield while you fight and win America's wars. That's what. That's what it is.
B
This is a massive shift, culture shift by the military. I don't believe we've seen anything like this. Certainly. Did you ever see anything like this in your entire career in the military? And are you optimistic that this will. And also, what percentage of generals in that room yesterday do you suppose is not down with it?
A
I think. I think there's a pretty good amount not down with it. I hazard. I don't really want to make a guess on the percentage. I think it's going to be higher than even I would guess. And just from, you know, folks that I knew in the room and they were paying attention to everybody, but not a single sort itself out. And no, a shift like this has never happened. We have not gathered a group like this since the Key West Rolls and missions Conference in 1948, after the National Security Act. And so. So, no, this is unprecedented. It's real. And it's basically pulling the emergency brake on a Defense Department now a war department skirling out of control. And it has to be done because. Wait, what have you and I've been talking about for years now, Rob? We're on the precipice of World War 3 if we don't get everything just perfectly in the diplomacy department. So, no, it's high time. We'll sort this out. We'll get the personnel right, and we'll go back to basics and business.
B
I love it.
A
And $1 trillion for security. They deserve the best best.
B
Absolutely. We got to run. Blade, hold. I do appreciate you. Make sure to check out the Dangerous Intellectuals podcast. It's a go. Off to a great start, by the way. Doing a great job, bro. Thanks for your time today. I appreciate you, bro.
A
Thank you, brother.
B
All right, let's Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Led Zeppelin. Yeah, I love Led Zeppelin. But Gretavon Fleet, they are Gen Z band. They, they are emulating the sounds of Led Zeppelin. They got a new song. I think it's called Flower Power. And they have just. It is so gosh darn good, this song. I've listened to it time and time again the last few weeks. Greta Von Fleet. I believe it's. I believe it's. Yeah. Flower. Flower Power. Just listen to it. Just, just do it today. Listen to Greta Von Fleet. Flower Power. And if you want, you know, you ever dre like, maybe you wish a band could continue after they broken up. Well, this is like Led Zeppelin lives on. It is so gosh darn good. Greta Von Fleet. Flower Power is the name of the name of the. Here, here's a little bit more of the. The left going bananas on the. The possibility that the. The military could return to physical standards of excellence, you know, becoming a, a lethal force in the world that the world won't mess with. Here's Sunny Hoston on the View.
A
I' by why he did that. The optics were terrible. Meaning all of our top military brats.
B
No, no, they were actually great. It reminded me of, of a Patton when George C. Scott was up there.
A
They're all in one place and we spent $6 million to get them there. Yeah, that, that didn't.
B
Oh, you're so worried about it. Dear God. You spent that much on lipo.
A
Make a lot of sense to me. It also didn't make a lot of sense to me that he was saying that he was going to toughen physical standards and re.
B
You know, you know what you in the View cast, the, the harp sharpies. You know, who's listening to you when it comes to military readiness? Nobody. Because honestly, you're a, you're a joke. Here are some people on msnbc, that panel that replaced Joy Reid. They're all upset that Pete Hegseth is asking people to not wear dresses when they're men and I don't know, actually be proud and be strong.
A
Other individuals who are supposed to be leadership are using this kind of language. I call that the meritocracy myth. And it feels as though that that myth of meritocracy, this idea that the women and the of color, the anybody, the LGBTQ folks, they are all there because of some help or some preference.
B
Oh, yeah, a lot of them were actually. And honestly, the only reason why you talk about diversity is to divide, is, you know, I saw a bumper sticker the other day in the car. It says, celebrate diversity. I said, why should I celebrate diversity when diversity doesn't celebrate me? Oh, you're just being a white guy. No, no diversity. This diversity thing. Brand is meant to divide us, and we're coming together whether they like it or not. How's that sound? I think it sounds pretty darn good. We got hour number two of the Rob Carson show on the way. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere.

It's okay not to be perfect with finances.

Episode: Schumer Shutdown Chaos: Trump Turns the Tables
Date: October 1, 2025
Host: Rob Carson (Newsmax Podcasts)
In this episode, Rob Carson delivers a satirical and fiery breakdown of the latest federal government shutdown, which he and his guests frame as the fault of the Democratic Party. The episode covers public perception of the shutdown, party narratives, government spending, border security, and a deep dive into military culture with guest Brigadier General Blaine Holt. Carson's commentary is interspersed with mocking asides, musical parodies, and personal anecdotes, maintaining an irreverent tone throughout.
"They don’t control the stories, they don’t control the narrative anymore. And everybody understands it's just the Democrats being D words for Richard, which is what they do." ([03:40])
“The Democrat caucus has chosen to shut down the government over a clean, nonpartisan funding bill.” ([10:50])
“We will be looking for opportunities to do that.” ([12:33])
[Segment Begins ~ 22:46]
Guest: Brigadier General Blaine Holt
“We are now back to being the Department of War… When we stopped being the Department of War, we got into the Department of ‘let’s have endless wars with no defined end.’” – Blaine Holt ([23:20])
“The build you back up part is… not an individual but a team member.” – Blaine Holt ([25:27])
“You’re training not to be at the woman's standard or the man standard. You’re training to be able to save lives on the battlefield while you fight and win America’s wars.” – Blaine Holt ([36:05])
“It should be grounds for punishment or removal.” ([33:15])
“It’s grounds for removal. They should all be under Article 15 pursuant to a court martial.” – Blaine Holt ([34:08])
On Blame for Shutdown:
“A wide majority of Americans reject the Democrat push to shut down the government… The Democrat Party does this crap all the time.” – Rob Carson ([03:40])
On Government Narrative Control:
“They don't control the narrative anymore… It’s just the Democrats being D words for Richard.” – Rob Carson ([03:40])
On Military Standards:
“We are going to take this department back to 1990… Where we pushed authority down to the lower ranks…” – Blaine Holt ([23:20])
On Being a Soldier:
“The build you back up part is… not an individual but a team member.” – Blaine Holt ([25:27])
On Social Media Insubordination:
“It should not be allowed that anyone active duty should be able to sound off in an insubordinate fashion on social media … It should be grounds for punishment or removal.” – Rob Carson ([33:15])
“It’s grounds for removal. They should all be under Article 15 pursuant to a court martial right now.” – Blaine Holt ([34:08])
On Gender Standards:
“You’re going to meet the battlefield standard…” – Blaine Holt ([36:05])
On Military Reform:
“This is unprecedented. It’s real. And it’s basically pulling the emergency brake on a Defense Department now a war department skirling out of control.” – Blaine Holt ([36:43])
Carson maintains a bombastic, sarcastic, and often mocking tone, targeting Democrats, the mainstream media, and progressive culture. The show blends political commentary, outrage, and levity—punctuated by comedic asides and musical parody—while guest Blaine Holt provides earnest, detailed military perspective with a reformist emphasis.
This episode pivots around the federal government shutdown, assigning blame squarely to Democrats while advocating for aggressive governmental and military reform. The extended interview with Blaine Holt amplifies calls for a cultural reset in the armed forces, emphasizing discipline, merit, and a renewed focus on warfighting standards. Carson’s satirical tenor and disdain for political correctness underscore the show’s appeal to conservatives who combine entertainment with hardline political messaging.
For a full, unfiltered experience of Rob Carson’s tone and improvisational style, listening to the entire episode is recommended.
