You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world Wide web. This is the Rob Carson Show. Thank you for calling the White House comment line. Hello America, this is White House press Secretary Caroline Levitt. Democrats in Congress have shut down the federal government because they care more about funding health care for illegal immigrants than they care about serving you, the American people. Until Democrats vote for the clean Republican backed continuing resolution to reopen the government, the White House is unable to answer your call or respond to your questions. We look forward to hearing from you again very soon. And in the meantime, please know President Trump will never stop fighting for you. And thank you and God bless you.
A
All right, cool. Where's the beep? I want to leave a message. Good job. Keep going up the good work. You guys are kicking butt. Seriously. Woo. Hey, how you doing there? Welcome to the show. Oh my goodness, it's already Thursday. It's already Thursday for crying out loud. October the second. I, I went out last night. I went to, I went to a gathering. This is kind of a, what I, what I'm doing here is kind of a white trash Mr. Smith goes to Washington, you know, and bringing you guys with me here. And I'm not saying all of you are white or anything but you know, we're kind of like here, you know, and so I got invited to a gathering last night. I went to a thing for Article 3 project, which is Mike Davis's great organization and he's my hero. He's a friggin great journalist and investigator and all of that. And so Mike Davis put together this little soiree down there on Pennsylvania Avenue. And I wear a suit and everything. And I went in there and I got to meet Mike Davis. He got a big hug from Mike. He loves my show. And I was like, oh my God, this is fantastic. And I met a bunch of people. I'll tell you about that in a minute. But I mean, I met my, my girlfriend. I met my girlfriend and Jeanine Pirro, I met her. That was pretty cool. So anyway, we'll get to all of that as the, as the show progresses here. My monitor just went off. Hold on one second. My monitor. Occasionally the power cable gets unplugged here. But anyway, so I go to this gathering and it's kind of funny because, oh, now it's completely off altogether. That's, that's fantastic. That's just awesome. So we'll have to get through without doing the monitor here the first break. But anyway, so I go to the. This event for Article 3 project and, and I walk in and I meet that. And it's kind of interesting because when I say, for instance to, when I introduce myself to some people, you get a kind of a poor reaction. I'll just tell you, generally are people who work for the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. And last night I met a guy from the Wal. And, and, and it reminded me of. You ever seen the movie Christmas Vacation? When, when Randy Quaid arrives there in the, in the, the old beat up rv and he said, well, the crabber is full Clark. And you know, and all that's how I feel at these events because that's how they kind of treat me when you meet people like from the Wall Street Journal and you say you work for Newsmax. So I'm standing there, you know, and I'm, I'm, in case you didn't know, I'm rather vociferous. And so I'm walking up to people and I immediately say my opening line is, wow, I thought I was the only guy here going to wear a blue suit because everybody wears a blue suit. I've got to come up with another color because everybody wears blue suits. And you know, anyway, so I'm at this gathering, I'm wearing a blue suit and I use that as an open line. And you start talking to somebody, how you doing? And you can tell when they're kind of snotty and they're kind of east coast and all of that. And, you know, and I. And I'll say, yeah, who do you.
B
Who.
A
What do you do? And the guy says, well, I'm with the Wall Street Journal. I'm whatever. From the Wall Street Journal. And what do you do? I said, well, I work at Newsmax. And he gives me this look. This look like, oh, man, the crapper's full out there in the RV there, Clark. And. And I looked at him and I said, wow, that was quite a reaction. I didn't react to you when you told me you worked for the Wall Street Journal. I don't even care. I just. I have no time for people like that. Or then this other guy from the New York Times, as soon as he heard for, you know, I worked for a Newsmax, or I was conservative, or I wrote for Rush Limbaugh, it was like I had some sort of disease, you know, like Covid, whatever. But I thought it was. That was kind of funny. And. And it's also kind of interesting because, you know, I. I just go to him just to play, just to have a little bit of fun, take you along, take some pictures and all of that. And. And. And just kind of show you the inside here. And. And so I'm gonna do a little reconnaissance, you know, and all of that. But. But when it comes to, like, a conservative gathering, if you say, for instance, are over 40, you are treated with respect.
B
And.
A
And people sometimes even gather around you to hear what you have to say. When you go to liberal gatherings, if you're over 40, they can, like, give a rat's behind less about you. They look down their noses that. Like, you're old or whatever. And that's. I noticed that when I lived in Washington, D.C. the last time I. And this is like when I was in my 40s, and I was like, really? Really Junior? Really? Is that how you gonna treat me? Anyway, so I was there, and. And I met some people, and I met some really cool people, by the way. I met Cash Patel, and I almost had kind of an involuntary. And I didn't even mean to do it. And I think I might have alerted security because I'm walking along, all of a sudden, I look at. There's Cash Patel, and I go, cash. You know, I just. It came out. It came out like, you know, words out of, you know, Kamala Harris mouth. Without thinking, I go, cash. And he looked at me kind of Startled. And. And. And I said, I'm sorry, Cash Patel. And I int myself to him. And he's very busy because, you know, he's the FBI director, right? So I shook his hand and he moved on. There were more people with earpieces in this party, by the way. If you would have tried anything in this party, you even would have looked wrong at somebody. You would have gotten the beat down of a lifetime. It was. It was something to behold. It was really remarkable. All these earpieces and everything. All of them just stand around. I mean, like, thank you. Thanks for doing what you do. Okay, you know, move along, move along. Anyway, moving on. I met some pretty cool people and. And they actually met or exceeded my expectations. One of them was Monica Crowley. You know, Monica Crowley always kind of had a crush on Monica Crowley. And now I got a super crush on her because she's Monica Crowley. She's pretty cool. One of the nicest people. One of the nicest people. And I had a delightful two conversations with her. She was talking to me, Rob. How are you, Rob? Because she knows who I am. I'm like, holy hell. Really? Okay. You're not like, you know, Randy Quaid in. In Vacation. Anyway, so I. I talked to Monica Crowley. I talked to. Are you listening to me, people? I talked to Monica Crowley, this guy who literally five and a half years ago was selling cars for a living in Kansas City, was hanging out hobnobbin with Monica Crowley. How you doing there, Monica? Yeah, I had dinner at Mar A Lago a couple years ago. Chris Ruddy of Newsmax, he discovered me and we had dinner at Mar a Lago. Really? What do you think of Mar A Lago? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, you know, it's pretty good. Donald thinks I'm the funniest guy on tv. You know, I heard that. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, anyway, so I had a nice conversation with Monica Crowley, and then I moved on to. And I always think of Ozzy Osbourne's song Mrs. Crowley When I wanted for some reason. But anyway, I'm walking along here and I'm going up to this. This area. There's a separate area. It's kind of quiet. And all of a sudden, right between where the bar kind of separates, you can squeeze through Judge Jeanine. Judge Jeanine is right there. And I'm trying to not be too excited because she's my. You know, she doesn't know it, but she's my girlfriend. And so I meet Judge Jeanine, and she's a diminutive character. She's very. She's a tiny. I could just carry her around. I could, I could carry her in a Bjorn like I did with my kids. She's that, that small. So anyway, I had a very nice conversation with, with her and I said to her, and I'll just, this is between you and me. Don't tell anybody. But I said, you know, I really miss your updates on crime in Washington D.C. she goes, yeah, we kind of had to, you know, back off a little bit. You know, we're working on some other cities and all that. And I said, oh, okay, I understand, no problemo, no problemo. I understand that. But I said I've been a fan of yours for a very long time and, and you know, I was trying to just not be such a fanboy, but you know, yeah, she's awesome. And so I had a nice conversation with her and then we got a look at a little picture. We got a picture together. I think we are actually a beautiful couple, to be quite honest. We really are. And then who else did I meet? Let's see, Mike Davis, Cash Patel, Monica Crowley, Judge Jeanine. I think it's about it. I think it' about all I really meant last night. But I wanted to share that with you because like I said, I'm kind of a white trash version of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I, I had to sell cars for a while and, and, and you know, even though I'm in my 50s getting ready to leave that decade of my life this month, I'm a fresh voice in, in radio and in talk radio particularly because this is my second gig in talk radio is right here, right here reaching all you on the stream and everything. So check out my social media if you want to see pictures with Monica Crowley and in Judge Jeanine and Mike Davis. Didn't get one with Cash Patel, but because I probably would have been taken down by the authorities or something.
B
Like.
A
Who is this guy? Who is this guy anyway? It's, it is. I hope you don't mind me indulging sharing the story with you. I just feel like, you know, we've been through so much together. For those of you, we had new people in the audience every day and, and I wanted to give you kind of an inside thing here. I'm not, you know, I'm not Sean Hannity. I haven't been a nationally syndicated host for 30 years. I'm not best friends with Stephen A. Smith. I'm not best buddies with Glenn Beck or anybody like that. This, it's just me and you. It's just me and you. You guys are why I'm here. I am. You know. You know, I hope that you chose me because you, you know, love what you, what I do here and all that. And I wanted to bring you here with me. And I feel like we've been through so much the last 10 years with the left and the deep state going after our candidate Donald Trump and us, and us. And we're in historic times. And I gotta tell you, I have a feeling there's a reason why I'm here and there's a reason why you're here with me. And I want to share it with you. I want to share the experience. So we've got a lot of stuff on the show today. Democrats are being solely blamed for this shutdown of the government. It's absolutely hilarious. It's completely backfiring. All of the tricks that they've tried in the past, all of the blame, blame storming, if you want to call it, all of the nonsense, all of this is just collapsing on them because everybody knows they're a petulant bunch of children who ruined the country while they were in power. And everybody knows it. The media can caterwall all they want. It's not going to work. But that's going on. We've got Donald Trump sent troops into Memphis. It's in Memphis. Got some great audio from Stephen Miller in Memphis. We got awesome, awesome guests today, including Judd Dunning is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. So why don't you just hang out and sit, sit back and enjoy the show for a spell. And if you want to call in 800-922-6680. This is the Rob Carson Show.
B
The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com listen for details. And we're going to manage this shutdown and try to keep the American people from the havoc that the Democrats have caused on, on 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.
A
It's kind of cool because the Democrat Party is being blamed for the shutdown because it's their fault. And then also Donald Trump is using as an excuse to cut government. You know, it's like a double whim and it's kind of, kind of cool. So, yeah, the, the Trump will discuss cuts to scam agencies with the OMB director Vaught, who you just heard, by the way, Russ Vought scam agencies weighing whether the cut should be temporary or permanently. He said, I, I had a meeting with Russ Vaught, he of 2025 fame, to determine which of the many Democrat agencies, most of which are a political scam. He recommends to be cut whether those agents will be temporary or permanent. Oh my God. Well, they're gonna. It's too bad that Russ Vaught doesn't have a bunch of car dealerships that the Democrats can go out and burn because that's what they did when, when Elon Musk cut government waste. I can't believe the radical left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people. So maybe this is the way their way of wanting to quietly and quickly make America great again. This is the equivalent of putting Trump 2028 hats on the table when, when Hakeem Jeffries showed up because you know, Hakeem was wearing a sombrero, so Trump decided to give him a hat. I think it's over. There's just so, just out of their minds right now. Donald Trump, whoever's in charge there, put together this viral video with Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero. And for some reason that's racist. You remember when you used to be able to wear a sombrero? You go to Mexico, you'd buy a sombrero. And then a few years ago, somebody decided that gringo can't wear a sombrero. Really?
B
Really.
A
Okay, well how about this? Mexicans can't wear cowboy hats. How about that? While we're doing it, you can't wear blue jeans. How about that? Honestly, are you that stupid? And you know what? Here's the deal. Mexicans weren't upset about it. Karen was upset about it. White Karen was mad about it. You can't wear a sombrero. Oh really? When I go to Chi Chi's, it's my birthday, I can wear a friggin sombrero and get a fried ice cream. Are you out of your mind? So Trump late Wednesday called on Republicans to use the government shutdown to save billions of dollars through federal cutbacks. The Democrats want to give your health care money to illegal aliens, open your borders to criminals. A deadly combination because everyone will come. Carolyn Levitt said that layoffs are imminent. And the Office of Management and Budget said it was freezing $18 billion in infrastructure funds for New York Subway and Hudson Tunnel projects, among other things. So there you go. I love it. They're giving it to the Democrats both ways, which normally they wouldn't complain about. They just would not complain at all. It's like, okay, no problem. Oh, and then there's some bad news for those of you who read the Wall Street Journal. Like that guy who wrote for the Wall Street Journal I met last night, it was rather put off when I said I worked for Newsmax. He did the eye roll like, the eye roll like, you know, every time I've approached an attractive woman and said something to her, that same kind of look. Hi, my name is Rob Iroll. Okay, well, this isn't going well. Yeah, they're good news, actually. The the Wall Street's kicking, but stocks.
B
Shaking off the shutdown charging higher. The S&P 500 hitting 6700 for the first time ever. A new all time closing high for the Dow as well. Fractionally. The Nasdaq the best performer today, but closing just short of a record. Health care once again, the best performing sector. That's thanks to drug stocks, utilities also a gainer.
A
Yeah, and the Democrat party just wants lots of free health care for illegal aliens because they want to replace you. The reason why they opened the southern border and they didn't even bother vetting anybody while you were being forced to wear masks and your children were kept from going to schools unless they got a vaccine. They just let them come across the southern border because they wanted to get all these people into different Democrat districts and they want to give them lots and lots of free crap. So they will vote Democrat and they will vote Democrat even if they're illegal. They will vote Democrat because. Please, give me a break. All right? And Donald Trump saying now you're not going to get the free health care. Oh, we're going to buy the votes. Well, you're not going to. The Democrats are seeking close to $200 billion over the course of decade for health care for illegal aliens to reopen the federal government. That's what they want. Working Families Tax Cut act signed into law by Trump contains the most important America first health care reforms ever enacted. And they want to strengthen the health care system for those most vulnerable Americans while not subsidizing health care for illegal immigrants. What's your health insurance cost? I don't know if I told you this yesterday, but, you know, I got to get health care on my own now because I'm not married anymore, not by choice, and don't have the kids on the health care plan. So the least expensive that I could find is about 750 to $850 a month with a $7,000 deductible per month. You know what kind of car I could get for that kind of money? Oh, my God, I could even pay for the. The insurance for that car, for crying out loud. But that's just what they want to do. They want to do health care for illegal.
B
Sorry.
A
You know what? Bull crap. You know, I'm having trouble paying that for myself. I ain't gonna pay it for you if you came here illegally. Sorry. Go back to your, you know, crap hole country and get the kind of healthcare they offer. And then if you want to come into the United States, you can apply, but you're not getting a bunch of free stuff. There you go. This is kind of funny. A couple of Democrats yesterday were asked. One of them was at the airport going home and the other one was Ro Khanna. And they admitted basically, they are doing the shutdown. They are the cause of the shutdown and they want illegal aliens to have HealthC.
B
Returning back to Detroit this morning after the Republicans failed to show up in the US House. We got to make sure Americans have the health care that they need. And if that means we got to shut this government down, so be it. The amount of money that actually is going towards people who are undocumented is such a small portion.
A
There you go. They just admitted that they caused the shutdown. And they are the ones who are. They want the illegal aliens to have health care. There you go. They just said it. They just admitted it. And America knows it, by the way. And it's a Schumer's shutdown. This is from Jim Gossett on the Rob Carson Show.
B
The government shut down on Tuesday night.
A
Still is.
B
The Democrats must know they're gonna lose this fight. Schumer and Hakeem, they cooked up this scheme.
A
Yeah, they.
B
Chucky, I am coming after you.
A
You can't extort us.
B
No matter what the stakes may be. I'll come out on top. The Democrats have blown it once again.
A
Getting blamed for it.
B
Leave town for a while.
A
Bye.
B
While I sit back and smile.
A
Cut. Promise.
B
No matter what they do, I intend to win.
A
Let's hear the chorus. Come on.
B
Shut down, shut down. Blame the shutdown on the Democrats. Yeah. Schumer cannot be trusted. Do Schumer shut down fighting for illegals to get free health care? Hopkin cannot be trusted.
A
No, he cannot. There you go. That is brand new from Jim Gossett. You want to help him out? Go to patreon.com Jim Gossett Comedy if you would. Jud Dunning best selling author Newsmax contributor Talk show host joins us next. Don't go anywhere. It's a Rob Carson show on a Thursday, the 2nd day of October, 2nd day of government shutdown. And the Democrat Party's getting a little double whammy because they're getting blamed for the shutdown because it's their fault. And then while they're on a shutdown, Donald Trump is just going to cut a bunch of unnecessary programs. I think it's. I think it's quite delicious, to be quite honest. Even the sombrero has backfired. It is. It is glorious. Judd Dunning is a talk show host, best selling author, Newsmax contributor joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How you doing today, bro?
B
Good to be back, Rob. How are you doing?
A
I'm good, man. I'm watching this. I couldn't help the other day. All these. This caterwauling about wearing a sombrero and this video that they did with Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero is suddenly racist. It's very, very racist that you. How is that racist, Judd? How's it racist for somebody to put Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero? Just so stupid, man.
B
I'm, I'm pro free speech, buddy. And I think that, you know, Trump has pulled out all the stops. Any, any type of commentary that actually supports a deconstruction of political correctness in itself is. Yes, right. That's what they're not flipping over. They forget the main point. Like we and also Democrats. Look, you want to keep your enemy in the open. There you go. You know, I mean, people see what you have to say. That's what we forget. We don't need to shut it down. We need to open it up.
A
When was the last time he went to Mexico?
B
Last year.
A
Okay. You go to any Mexican restaurant, you say it's your birthday, they're gonna bring a sombrero over and you're gonna get a picture with the mariachi pan. And nobody calls it racist. It is the dumbest thing. This started a few years ago. They started saying that if you're at gringo, you can't wear a sombrero. All of a sudden, you couldn't wear. They had, like, a fraternity, and these kids decided to do a Cinco de Mayo party. And there were some white kids who wore sombreros. And suddenly that was racist. And I said, okay, well, then Mexican guys can' Cowboy hats. I think it was the dumbest damn thing in the world. And so they managed to have that. And people were afraid to wear sombreros on Cinco de Mayo, for God's sake. And now, because a lot of these illegals are coming across from Mexico, they put a sombrero on. And I'm glad to see this. You know, what I'm really. I've taken from this, Judd, is that the censorship of humor is dying or dead. We're just done with this crap. People telling us you can laugh at certain things, and some things are verbal boating. And I'm just tired of it. And I love the fact that Donald Trump is unapologetically and all of the people in his cabinet who've been asked about it, and JD Vance yesterday, unapologetic about it. No, we're here to mock you. You know, and then he put the Trump 20, 28 hats on the desk when Jeffries was there. I just think playing these people, it's just so glorious.
B
Yeah. I think the military was woke this week. I think now, you know, maybe the media, I mean, it's okay to get our feelings hurt a little bit, but I mean, the representation is pretty clear though, right? I mean, we're pandering toward a section of America. When you pander toward, like the border issue, you pander toward black America, you negate America itself.
A
Right.
B
That's the beauty of it, man. We are one people. I mean, this week I was hiring somebody and somebody commented on some things. I said, look, I don't care what gender, what race, anything that you are. I just care that you're a hard working, merocratic person. In a way, this is all the theme of meritocracy. A little bit of hazing, a little bit of bullying might be okay. I think we're, you know, if we go to a little bit of the extremes, Rob, while we're coming back, center. That's why we have a diametric system of left and right. A little bit, a little bit of teasing each other is okay.
A
Now you wrote this terrific column. It's got the American warrior reborn, America's new War Department under Pete Heggs at his wedding. And I thought it was of all of the things. And they have been so counter, just to be counter of everything that Donald has done from closing the border. Oh, it's so terrible. He closed the border. To, you know, to ending crime in Washington D.C. i moved to Washington D.C. three months ago, two weeks after I moved here. He brought in The National Guard. 90% reduction in carjacking. They. They whined about that. They whined about that. And then, and then. Most Americans love a tough, tough military There were so many people who saw, with Pete Hegseth's appearance in front of the military flag, in front of those generals, they saw Geor C. Scott as Patton and they loved it. And MSNBC and they, they got all butt hurt about it and they said, well, what about the trends and all this? And, and it's, it's again another issue where they're, I would venture to say, on the 95, 5 end of the spectrum. And, and you're obviously welcoming this change.
B
No, absolutely. And I wrote this in the article, I think what risk, the freedom of risk, the negative space that allows us to have no safety net, no ceiling to live. The American dream is special. It's very special. And tyranny all over the world. Evil wants to tear it down because they can't maintain their regimes, their mind, their set on the world, unless, Unless, you know, if we stand. And so I actually referenced Matthew 14:16 said, you are the light of the world. The city set up, the hill cannot be hid. And it says we do not men do not light a candle, put it on our bushel, on a candlestick. And basically the greatness of our freedom is preserved by military might. The world is not some homogenized EU utopian fantasy where everybody wants parity and they want parity instead of a meritocracy because it's safe, there's no risk. Weak people want a deconstructed system to rely on other people. And all these nanny states, dictatorships, monarchical systems, right, Oligarchies, all of that sustains outside of America. But if America's warriors are saying, hey, not only are we special, but your freedom is special and we're willing to stand up for you, then everything stays freer, you know, and it's almost like we have this shame culture, like, oh, our military has to embody shame now, whether you're a beardo, a weirdo, a fat person, a trans, whatever thing that Pete said himself, right? You know, we don't, we don't have time for that. We have no reserved preserve liberty and freedom's negative space with a strong military. That's really what this is about. And that's why the common person is like, yeah, I want to preserve this with whatever it takes. Throw out cops in LA. And LA went to hell. We brought back Prop 36, it got strong again and LA is safe again.
A
It's ridiculous. And now everybody knows it. And the Democrats can't lie big enough to cover up the truth anymore because they're also covering up common sense. And you Know, the world's. We live in a very cruel world. We. A lot of the times, you know, we are very lazy. We can literally, while you're watching television, you can see a QR code show up on your screen, so you can sit on your ass and have whatever food you want delivered to your front door without doing anything. Okay? That's our lives. Meanwhile in Bangladesh, you know, or meanwhile in communist China, the world, you know, once would love to destroy us and take our property. And we have to realize that. And we also have to realize that by infusing all of this nonsense not only into culture to divide us, but into the military to make us weaker. That's why it was there. That's why they did it to us. They put transgendered. Open. Transgendered generals or whatever in charge. Because the rest of the world sees weakness. It is weakness. And fortunately, it looks like we're turning that around.
B
Yeah, absolutely. And you can. It's funny where the left's going. They're calling it militarism. They're saying, oh, this is a fascist push to the military. So take the next election. Listen, have you looked at Trump lately? They have worn that man down. He's amazing, but he is tired. He's had, like, assassination attempts.
A
Yes.
B
41 cases, $91 million fine. He's not. He's not militarizing America to stick around. You know, I think he's. The guy's done so much out there. So that's the fantasy conspiracy that's happening. Of course, the truth is, we were lucky. Superpower. We didn't ask to be the global sheriff. We stepped in World War II because Europe's empires were collapsing. So we ended up stepping in if anybody's going to have the position of a strong military assess. And, you know, the good news is the thing that they did mirror properly is we are, like, 10 times stronger than anybody in the world. And letting our. Letting ourselves be reflected for what we truthfully are actually, with our technology, our power, and our capacity to protect other people as well of ourselves, is not a hate crime.
A
No. No.
B
It's service to humanity.

And we're the only country who's ever done that, by the way, really. I mean, in mass. We're the ones who ushered it in. We saved the world more than a couple of times. Judd Dunning. Could you hold on for the next break, my friend? All right, hold on. Judd Dunning on the way. This is the Rob Carson Show. It's hard to see, but there's a.
B
Helicopter right there on this building and.
A
That helicopter is just insert and snipers for the protection of all these federal agents. That is Mike Tuban doing a live report from Chicago where several agencies of 300 federal officers went into the south side of Chicago, baddest part of town, and then repelled into a building that was run by trend. They're not running it so much anymore. They got evicted. And I think Americans love this. The Democrat party is standing in front of the schoolhouse doors once again trying to keep people from being enlightened and, and having a good quality of life. And Donald Trump saying, no, no, we're moving in. So they're doing that. And then also Memphis, also doing it in Memphis. Judd Dunning on the Newsmax hotline. Talk show host, best selling author, Newsmax contributor. Got again, I want to mention this piece and by the way, where can you find this wonderful piece that you wrote with regard to the military? The unapologetic article, the American Warrior Reborn. Where's that, bro?
B
Hey, thanks, Rob. Just at Judd Gunning. That's 3D 2N Judd Dunning. Good Southern American name, Judd Dunning.
A
Yes, it is.
B
Go to X or go to dot com, you'll get us there. Or go to Newsmax and sign up for our articles. Thanks.
A
I don't think we have enough Judds in the world to be quite on. I think Judd is kind of a cool name, man. I remember the high school musical Oklahoma. Judd Fry, he was the bad guy. I know this man. I even know his name.
B
First thing I ever saw as a kid and I didn't understand theater wasn't real. And poor Judd is dead. And I ran out.
A
Poor Judd Fry is dead. He's looking oh so peaceful and serene. And serene. Anyway, but, but let's, let's talk about what's going on with the United States. I want your theory. I know what my theory is with regard to these Democrats like JB Pritzker and whatnot, keeping the, the military out of their cities, even though the crime is out of control and has been since the Grace Society was installed by Lyndon Johnson. What are your thoughts on it, man?
B
Well, bottom line, the results speak for themselves, right? I mean, you just said it. In Washington D.C. a lot of people are feeling safer. Obviously it's going to feel a violation. You know, there's things that should always be in contention and one is definitely the use of military force. So I always think about a rational republic, like if we're not arguing about pro life, the death penalty, if we're not arguing about guns, we've lost the plot. We never want to, want to be, to not be wary of power. So, yeah, hey, the Democrats have, thank God, they're functioning in the system. There's some good Democrats out there, man. I try not to bastardize them. I think 6% of them have been hijacked by 6% of their parties. Hijacked 34% of the party. The radical left, those people are speaking out, but those aren't our Democrat friends that want, you know, good education. Good, good, you know, good unions. All the traditional, you know, fiscal conservatives out there, sure, sure, they want to be wary. But the problem is, is the border got flooded by 6 to 9 million people. It was an invasion. That's what they talked about at Quantico.
A
Yeah.
B
So we don't have the choice to have a, you know, careful and cautious. We have to sweep out crimes. I mean, and I'm going to talk about. I've got a case in court. I was just in Families of Sentinel and I was with a lot of parents last night. I'll talk about it when we get through our next levels. But I was with numerous parents who have lost their kids in these wave of crime. It is, there is a crisis and an epidemic, and we're not, we're not treating it justly. And it starts with stopping the lawlessness on the street. And then we can get to the, you know, the trafficking, and then we can get to the undersells of people with the drugs. But we have to get the blatant crime off the street. Yeah.
A
And I think a lot of it has to do with the Democrat Party for a very long time, has done its level best to keep people in America's cities uneducated, needy and filled with grievance. It's absolutely 100%. That's what they do. And what Donald Trump is doing by bringing in these troops and making them safer places is he's knocking the equivalent of the Berlin Wall down between America's inner cities and the rest of the country. And the Democrat Party wants to keep those areas in the dark, and it's just not going to work. And these dominoes are falling right now. Memphis, Memphis right now. And they've already arrested, I think, 90 people, 25 guns, you know, and it's only going to grow from there. And I Live in Washington, D.C. i walked into the Union Station the other day and it was like going to Disney World, man. It was clean as a whistle. It was the most spotless I've ever seen, that building. It was amazing.
B
Yeah. I mean, do you think the people actually the normal people in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, you know, all Dallas, all the most dangerous Memphis, Washington, D.C. do they really want to live in? I have to say I was walking to a Starbucks at six o' clock in the morning in Los Angeles. I live here in Texas. And you know, I walked across the street because I saw somebody crazy. I don't want to get stabbed in the neck on the bus. Like, there's been a degradation of civil order since post Floyd. Dual justice systems came around, politicized law, we're still recovering from that, you know, and we had Prop 47 rolled over by Prop 36. But during that time in our good West LA area, a woman with a machete, a crazy ones, chased my wife. We got carjacked and I had a knife held on me on election day. And that's in, that's in the, that's in the west side of LA by then. So I mean, that's deconstructionist, man. That no longer. And that's what Trump is doing in Memphis. It's not just there, it's the entire nation. Justice, the military. I mean, he's doing a great job. I think the military sets it up to like, civil order matters, right?
A
Yes. And that's the first thing you have to do. That's the first thing you have to do. You have to establish order. Judd Dunning. I could talk to you for hours, bro, but unfortunately we're up against a hard break. Always good to have you on. Where can people find all your glorious presence on the interweb?
B
Thank you. Juddunning.com is the best way to get to Twitter and everything will flow through there. Xmud DunnEvenDunning thank you everybody. And Rob, it's always a great pleasure. You're one of the nation's best, buddy.
A
Thank you, bro. And I have a feeling going to see more babies named Judd next year. I just have a feeling. All right, let's take a. All right. Not. Not your babies. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
B
Government shutdown is just so stupid.
A
And I think you agree with me. That is Rob Fitnerney from Newsmax. Newsmax Anchors tell it like it is.
B
Have you ever noticed that government shutdowns only happen when Donald Trump seems to be in the Oval Office?
A
That's true, yeah.
B
The last time the government shut down, guess what? Donald Trump was in the Oval Office. There's nothing new in this legislation. There's no poison pill, there's no partisan tricks. There's no gamuts whatsoever. The only difference today is the man who is sitting in the Oval Office. Rather than work with President Trump and Republicans to get this job done, as our party has done repeatedly in the same situation over the years, Democrats want to play political games with the lives of and the livelihoods of Americans.
A
Yeah, absolutely. And you know what? It's honestly, enough is enough is enough. Enough is enough is enough. You know, we've had to cut so many times. And, you know, the last 10 years I lived in Kansas, I even had to go on damn food stamps for a while. I really. You know, you people listen to the show. You know, I hated to admit that. I hated to admit that. But, you know, we in flyover country, we suffered greatly. Greatly, greatly, greatly. But government always, always continues to get bigger. I remember when Barack Obama was the president, he shut down. He had all these signs printed up. This is a Republican government shutdown. And they hired more people to protect the Vietnam Memorial to prevent you from looking at it than it took to just have it open, because it's a sidewalk, for God's sake. But that's the Democrat Party. And honestly, it's over for you Democrats. It's over for you. Done, done, done. And you can protest and you can say, donald Trump is a racist because of a sombrero. That's right. And then what does that shameful man.
B
Do after a meeting where you're supposed to be.
A
Details.
B
Where you're supposed to be.
A
You just sound like that neighbor lady Gravit, you know, Gladys Kravitz. And you're like, oh, God, I'm getting scold by Gladys Kravitz.
B
Negotiating a deal. You post something that draws a sombrero.
A
And a mustache on the leader with.
B
Whom you're supposed to.
A
Yeah, I know, I know. It's pretty funny, actually. Here's J.D. vance. He had no apologies at all.
B
Honestly don't even know what that means. Like, is he a Mexican American?
A
No.
B
That is offended by having a sombrero meme? Rare thing. Rarer thing. I mean, Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist, and I know that he said that, and I honestly don't even know what that means. Like, is. Is he a Mexican American that is offended by having a sombrero meme? I mean, I saw one of the major TV stations put the meme up and then say, this is AI generated. And he had, like, the curly animated mustache, too. It's like, do the American people. Do you really not realize the American people recognize that he did not actually come to the White House wearing a sombrero and a black curly animation mustache. Like, give the country a little bit of credit.
A
Yeah. You know what? Remember what I told you last year? I said overwhelm them with joy and patriotism, and they can't do anything about it. And we're witnessing that right now. These people who take themselves so seriously and wanted to call you racist and all of that, and now we're just laughing, laughing at you. And we're gonna win this standoff, too. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere.
Date: October 2, 2025
Host: Rob Carson
Guest: Judd Dunning (Newsmax contributor, author)
This episode centers on the aftermath and political fallout of the latest U.S. government shutdown, which Rob Carson and his guest argue is largely being blamed on congressional Democrats. The episode explores how former President Donald Trump is capitalizing on this “backfire,” using the shutdown as an opportunity to push for government cuts and reassert his political agenda. Throughout, Rob employs his trademark mix of humor and populist commentary, interspersed with parody segments and candid reflections on the current media and political landscape.
For listeners seeking a humorous, behind-the-scenes view of conservative D.C. culture, and a spirited take on the shutdown and associated political maneuvering, this episode delivers an engaging, personality-driven analysis with moments of levity and pointed critique.
