This is the Rob Parson Show. This is hour number two of the Rob Carson show on Monday the 9th of February. The 9th of February. Valentine's Day just around the corner. Don't really have a Valentine this year. I was supposed to have a date on Saturday. She canceled because of the cold. I know, I know, I know. She cancels. Cold is a. She's lived in Florida a number of years and I was back and there was a wind chill and you know, it was like 60 mile an hour winds and all of that. So she bugged out. We're rescheduled, which is nice, but you know, I, I bought some chocolate covered strawberries. I don't know, I haven't dated him since Kurt Cobain was alive. So, you know, I don't know what the hell. I don't know what women want these days. No idea. I know what one woman wanted for a very long time and apparently I wasn't able to satisfy that. Yeah. Anyway, so there's that. I did have a nice, I did have a nice weekend though. I did. I, I went out. Let me see. No, I just hung out at home pretty much on Saturday. I stayed away from the studio because I just spent too much time here. And then Sunday I just cooked all day and had a couple friends over. Only two showed up. But I had made enough food for 50 and I made a. I use my indoor smoker quite a bit. It was, it was a lot of fun. And, and my new favorite pasta is bucatini, by the way. It's a, it's a, it's like a spaghetti. Hollow spaghetti. So like a drink straw. Yeah. I just love it. I don't know what it is. Pasta is made out of the same stuff, Right. Generally, if you're going to do flour pasta, it's all the same stuff. It's just the shapes and everybody's like, oh, I like bow ties. My ex wife, I knew that that was her favorite pasta. Bow tie pasta was her favorite pasta. Right. And I like rigatoni and you know, I like shells and I like elbow macaroni and I like fettuccine. My daughter likes angel hair. It's all the same stuff. But some people just. It's all. I don't like bucatini. It's the same stuff as bow ties. I know. And I don't like it. Okay, whatever. I won't make it then. Fine. There you go. But bucatini is my, my favorite pasta. So the, the Olympics are off and running. I kind of think that the Olympics are a waste of money. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have them. It's just, it's ridiculous how they have to build all these new venues every time they do in another Olympics. And, and I think they ought to have been the same place every year, maybe add some stuff. But honestly, it's all like, hey, look, we got the Olympics. We're going to waste $10 billion on buildings that are never going to be used again. You know, I don't see the point. But anyway, the, the Democrats and the liberal media are attempting to whiz on the America and because Donald Trump is the President of the United States. And here's. I think this is NBC talking about J.D. vance. J.D. vance's face showed up on the screen and they decided to say, oh, he's getting booed like crazy. Well, he wasn't actually. Here you go. In an individual sport.
- [03:24]
C
What an honor for her. There is The Vice President, J.D. vance and his wife.
- [03:29]
A
Those are, those are a lot of boobs for him.
- [03:34]
C
Whistling, jeering, no summer flaw.
- [03:37]
A
None of that happened. None of that happened Here. Here is the actual audio from somebody recording it on social media when J.D. vance's face appeared on the screen. There you go, right there. Yeah, it was a bunch of crap. But that's your, your media. And then of course, CBS C. BS On Sunday Morning decided to. All of a sudden, it's very important. It wasn't important when pudding for Brains wasn't president, but all of a sudden it matters. The politics. And you're representing the United States. Donald Trump is the president. You can't be proud to be American because Donald Trump is the president.
- [04:17]
C
As Americans struggle with the heated debate about immigration enforcement tactics, it's really not.
- [04:22]
A
Heated debate, just from like 20% of the population who want to keep illegals here to weigh the census and vote.
- [04:27]
C
Democrat and public safety here at home. And some of the U.S. athletes competing in the Winter Olympics in Milan have acknowledged the complicated feelings they're navigating as they represent their country on the biggest stage in global sports.
- [04:40]
B
It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US Right now. I think it's a little hard.
- [04:47]
A
You know, junior, there are a million other world championships you can compete in where you don't represent the United States of America. Why did you try out for the US Olympic team if you are not proud to be from the United States? Honestly, absolutely ridiculous. This guy's name is Hunter Ness. It's Hunter Ness. Donald Trump called him out. It's not very hard to root for someone like loser team Hunter Ness, who last week told reporter CDS mixed emotion about representing the United States. There's obviously a lot going on that.
- [05:23]
B
I'm not the biggest fan of. And I think a lot of people.
- [05:26]
A
Out shut up and ski.
- [05:27]
B
Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S. i love the USA.
- [05:33]
A
And I think I would never want.
- [05:35]
B
To represent a different country in the Olympics.
- [05:37]
A
Well, there you go. With that being said, how about just shut up and ski?
- [05:41]
B
You know, a lot of times athletes are hesitant to talk about political views and how we.
- [05:45]
A
Because nobody cares about as much as they, you know, they do. Hollywood actors feel about things.
- [05:52]
B
I feel heartbroken about what's happened in the United States.
- [05:55]
A
I think that as a country, we.
- [05:57]
B
Need to focus on respecting everybody's rights.
- [06:00]
A
And except for, you know, voters who are legitimately here and can prove their citizenship, making sure that we're treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect. Okay. You know, honestly, just, I mean, just ski. My God. And if you don't want to represent the United States as is, don't try out for the dang team. Honestly, don't try out for the team. This is Jim gossip. It's two Olympic skiers who are running down our land. They give our enemies like China a helping hand. Americans their trashing with the words that they choose. Don't ski for us. If they keep it up, they are bound to lose and they're proud to be un American like Colin Kaepernick. Oh, yeah, that's true. Chris Lewis and Hunter Hess. They really make me sick. Make me want to throw up when I hear what they had to say. Yes, yes, yes. Cause there ain't no doubt that these two despise the USA Yeah. Nobody cares what you think about your politics. If you don't love America, don't represent it. There you go. Lindsey Vaughn, however she does, she, she. It looks like her career is probably over. Had a pretty severe injury, broke her leg, had to be medevaced out. But here's what Lindsey Vonn says about America.
- [07:40]
B
It brings up mixed emotions to no.
- [07:42]
A
That'S not Lindsey Vaughn. It's somebody more feminine. That's Hunter Hess. He's much more feminine than Lindsey Vonn. Here's Lindsey Vonn.
- [07:48]
C
Actually, it's a privilege to represent your country. And the Olympics are the largest stage in the world, the largest sporting event in the world. To walk out into the opening ceremonies with your fellow teammates is such an honor. And I always feel incredible, incredibly lucky that I'm even able to compete at that level. So I definitely don't take it for granted. And I'm gonna enjoy my last Olympics as much as I possibly can.
- [08:11]
A
There you go. Proud to represent you. You can do. There's a million other world championships you can be a part of, you know, whatever, if you don't want to represent America, because this is a patriotic thing. I was watching the other night, there's a documentary about the 1980 men's hockey team would be Russia. And I was in middle school when that happened and way back when. And you had to watch it the next day, right? So the game was over. You didn't know about it because there was no interweb and there was no none of that. So the next day we're watching it and I remember, you know, 14 year old kid, and I, I wept. I wept. And this documentary, it shows the hockey players now in their, you know, mid to upper 60s, coming back to Lake Placid where the, where the game was. And you know, I think that pride, I know that pride is still there. The only people who don't have it are Democrats. They don't. And they've spent the last, you know, couple decades tearing down America, kneeling during the national anthem, spitting on America. It was all a psyop to take down America as founded. And it's not working. Americans are becoming more and more proud to be Americans. By the way, did you see that last night? And I thought there's quite a contradiction that, you know, everybody says that ice is Nazis and the Gestapo, which is absolutely untrue. It's, it's ridiculous to think otherwise. They are law enforcement officials charged with doing a job. And they go out and they're attacked and brutalized frequently. And it's intentional. It's in states like Minnesota, in states like Texas, they're able to do their job unencumbered. Nobody's getting, you know, nobody's trying to run over an ice agent and get shot in the process. Nobody's attacking ice agent while carrying and, you know, kicking out the, the back tail light of a nice vehicle and whatnot. But last night, I guess, you know, the people who put on the super bowl decided to take money from ice. So I'm thinking they don't think that ice are a bunch of Gestapo Nazis. Their friends and neighbors, sons, fathers, their little league coaches and veterans they're people who love this country. These are Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. That is not what Democrats are saying here. Here's what Democrats are saying about ICE agents. Get out. Yeah, they're throwing a temper tantrum there, you know, and then, and then, of course, the last couple of years they've been saying stuff like this. Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing. No due process. No. No oversight, zero accountability happening in the United States of America today. People ask, well, is authoritarianism. You're being hyperbolic. We're being hyperbolic. Yeah, you're being hyperbolic if you're a black and brown community. It's here.
- [11:17]
C
When I see ice, I see slave patrols.
- [11:19]
B
The dangers that we saw in, you.
- [11:23]
A
Know, Nazi Germany are the dangers that.
- [11:25]
B
We need to react.
- [11:26]
A
Wow, that is kind of weird that NFL would run this admin. They are removing violent criminals from our streets. Yeah, they are. Yeah. It's dangerous and difficult. It is, it is. Yeah. But ICE has one mission. To make America a safer place to live. And that's what they're doing. This is law enforcement. This is ice. Yeah, there you go. So, yeah, I guess the NFL doesn't think that they're Nazis and, and Gestapo. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.
- [12:01]
C
Hey, quick question for all the people mad at Donald Trump for calling that reporter a piggy. Would you prefer to call her Hitler, racist, rapist, pedo.
- [12:14]
B
Pedo, dictator, fascist.
- [12:19]
C
Would you prefer one of those?
- [12:23]
A
Yeah. Those are all words that Democrats call Donald Trump. And yet Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland, is mad that he hasn't been in invited to the governor's dinner at the White House with the Nazi. Honestly, you can't have it both ways there, junior. You're racist. No, I'm not. He's just a piker. He's. He's doing a terrible job as the governor of Maryland. And so is this new governor in, in Virginia, Abigail Spamberger. She's a crazy cat lady from hell, to be quite honest. Just put it that way. This is one of him explain something to you. A thing called passive aggressive aggressivity is what it is. This was Brandon Johnson, the failed mayor of Chicago and in crime around the country, if you notice, has come down dramatically because Donald Trump is the president. The murder rates, the lowest it's been since 1900 when Joe Biden was in middle school. And it's because Donald Trump closed the border and they sent the fanned out the FBI across the country to go after the small number of People who are committing these crimes and, you know, 5% of the population is doing most of the crime and that's why it's happened. But Brandon Johnson, who's an idiot, says that Donald Trump has caused more violence by reducing violence. And I'll explain this in a second. That has been replicated in other. Is that Jonathan Goldthwait. Shut up.
- [13:50]
B
Big cities. Is the President right to say that it was his actions in Chicago trying to. Bringing federal agents to Chicago?
- [13:59]
A
Yeah, because he had worked all across the country at the same time, made Chicago safe. Okay, now here's where he just goes off the rails. He is not. I mean, this president continues to, you know, exacerbate, you know, instability across our country. In fact, where ICE and federal agents were present, we actually saw an increase in violence. And yeah, it's because, you idiot, you have been foaming rage and bought and paid for protesters have been going out and attacking ICE agents. That's the passive aggressive bullcrap of the Democrat Party. In other words, the tension and the chaos that federal agents bring to cities. No tension and chaos in Texas. Working beautifully. Louisiana working beautifully in America. It actually is counterproductive. So, yes, we saw a 30% reduction in homicide shootings, shooting victims, all down. You should take the President, in fact, the city of Chicago, you haven't done anything. Go double the amount of the national average in terms of violence reduction because. And you had nothing to do with it because you're an idiot. He is. He's just a moron. When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie, he's a moron. Oh, by the way, gold is about $5,000. I told you. I told you. When it dropped down and went down to 4,600 from 5,600, I told you. People were selling it. When he got up to $5,600, everybody said, okay, I'm gonna unload it. I bought it at 2600. I'm gonna make some money. So suddenly, gold became available and the price dropped. It's $5,055. It's above $5,000 again. It took a week and a half to go back above $5,000. I would get on the gold train before it reaches 5,600 again. This, according to bank of America, Gold will be the primary hedge and performance driver in 2026. Silver could top out between 135 and $309 this year. Text my name, Rob to 989-898 for Birch Gold. I trust them. If you've got an underperforming IRA or retirement account. If you've got money in savings, which is a waste of time. It just. It is. It is a waste of time to just have it sitting there in savings. You might as well bury it in the backyard in a. In a soup can or a Tupperware. Whatever you. Whatever you. Cigar box. I don't even know. Text my name, Rob, to 989898. Birch Gold has an A plus rating from the BBB and they will give you useful information. Then you can pull the trigger. You can get going. But I would recommend it because Gold's coming back. It was 4,600 last week. Now it's $5,000 now. Okay? So text my name, Rob, to 989-898 for Birch Cold, if you would. If you would, and you should. Thank you very much. We just talked about the dummy who is the. Is the mayor of Chicago. Dear God, what a joke. This is kind of cool. JD Vance, Megan Kelly put this together, and I told you that, you know, Michelle Obama's a spoiled, entitled brat with a chip on her shoulder, a racial chip on her shoulder. She's never worked a day in her life. She hasn't. I have worked my rear end off my entire life, starting in farm fields, by the way, for over a decade. Working farm fields involuntarily. Not paid, by the way. Yeah, yeah. I know it sounds kind of like slavery or something, but here is a JD Vance versus the spoiled, entitled Michelle Obama. This is just beautiful. There are certainly sacrifices that come along with this life.
- [17:42]
C
Our kids are little. We're gonna have to move.
- [17:44]
A
There are also a lot of good things.
- [17:46]
C
It's expensive to live in the White House.
- [17:48]
A
What a blessing it is to be here.
- [17:50]
C
There were moments when I didn't feel like I got enough attention.
- [17:54]
A
We live in this beautiful, very protected mansion that the American people have gifted us.
- [18:00]
C
Many people don't know. I mean, much is not covered.
- [18:03]
A
Most of our meals are prepared for us, so we don't have to worry as much about cooking.
- [18:07]
C
You're paying for every food.
- [18:09]
A
I did that for my family virt 25 years.
- [18:12]
C
Every bit of food that you eat.
- [18:13]
A
There are a lot of things that in some ways make having a baby easier.
- [18:16]
C
How do you raise kids in the White House? It's dangerous.
- [18:20]
A
You don't have to worry about TSA lines when you're the vice president. Air Force Two makes transportation pretty easy.
- [18:25]
C
We had to pay for their travel to be on the plane.
- [18:28]
A
My attitude towards kids, they're a hassle. What the hell have we gotten ourselves into? No more kids.
- [18:34]
B
They mess you up.
- [18:35]
A
Then we had a second, then we had a third.
- [18:37]
C
And now both of us are just.
- [18:38]
A
Like, what's one more?
- [18:39]
C
Whatever.
- [18:41]
A
That's the difference between the Republican Party and the Democrat party right now in a nutshell. Spoiled, entitled children throwing a temper tantrum about everything and people who are truly grateful and believe in God, among other things, and count their blessings. Count their blessings. That is a microcosm of the Democrat Party today versus the MAGA movement. I'll say the MAGA movement, not all Republicans because there are a lot of jerks who are Republicans. But the MAGA movement is ultimately optimistic, positive, sane, faithful and amazing. There you go. Yeah, 100%. That's why the Democrats hate him so much. All right, so coming up, the great Doug Burns we're gonna be talking about Abigail Spamberger trying to tax us without representation in Virginia. Also, an appeals court smacks down a Biden judges block on Trump DEI orders. On the other side of the break, this is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief factor with you is all the real stories like Sandra's. She tells us. I've been hearing about Relief factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words. And it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer too. Call 804 RELIEF, that's 804 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain?
- [20:34]
B
Bill, good morning.
- [20:35]
A
The complaint from Virginia Republicans as new governor Abigail Spanberger campaigned like a moderate but is governing from the far left. Spanberger is backing a plan from Democrats to redraw the congressional map, seeking to hold 10 out of Virginia's 11 congressional seats while the current split is six Democrats, five Republicans. Yeah, you know, that is, that is called taxation without representation. At least that's what I kind of think it is. I don't think I'm, I'm off base there. Here to see if I am is Doug Burns, former federal prosecutor. How are you, my friend?
- [21:08]
B
Good, Rob. How Are you good?
- [21:09]
A
Rob, how are you? Excellent. I know you're a big Bad Bunny fan, Doug. Did you enjoy the show last night?
- [21:15]
B
Well, I'll tell you something funny really quick, and that is that we had a couple of members from the younger generation at my place to watch the super bowl, so I couldn't very well say, I'm not watching this.
- [21:27]
A
Yeah, yeah, you old curmudgeon.
- [21:29]
B
So I sat there and just kept my mouth shut.
- [21:32]
A
That's probably. Probably a good idea, rather than getting to a. An argument with people who are less informed and much younger than both of us. All right, so let's. Let's talk a little bit about, you know, my take on this. Abigail Spamberger running as a moderate and then unveiling. Unveiling a platform that the Democrat Party in Virginia did not run on, which should be illegal. There has to be something done about this. Doug. This cannot stand. You cannot run as a. As a moderate and then be a Communist. The Communists can't lie about their platform.
- [22:03]
B
The old school term is bait and switch. In other words, I'm gonna run on all these moderate positions, and then you get in and you're way, way, way farther to the left. But as I told you recently, you know, the remedy is to kick her out at the ballot box or recall her. But at the same time, you're not off base in saying that it is some type of fraud, because it really is. It really is.
- [22:27]
A
It is absolutely fraud. And I mentioned taxation without representation. Think about this. We. We send people to Congress from our states that are supposed to represent the number of people in our states according to party, and right now they want to make the. The Democrat Party 10 to 1 advantage, so exclusively Democrat, eliminating half of the voters in Maryland, I do believe. Didn't we have a war about this at one point? Didn't it do something like, I don't know, create the country?
- [22:54]
B
Of course. I mean, the point is, you know, the whole thing is really, really troubling. The whole redistricting thing. They want to have congressional districts that look like, you know, lizards and alligators and so forth. And it's really embarrassing, and they just will strain to the breaking point to create districts that will, you know, create more Democratic seats and so forth. But again, it circles right back to your original point, which is that, you know, if she ran on some type of moderate platform, and frankly, and I'm not dissing her, so to speak, I didn't follow her platform. You know, I'm here in New York and so forth, but the point is she's. She's going way out of her way and we see it all over the place. Gavin Newsom, other places.
- [23:38]
A
I want to play something for you and get your reaction because you live in New York City, so I'm going to set you up here now.
- [23:44]
C
Living among mountains of trash. Eleven days after the Manhattan snowstorm, the streets remain buried under piles of garbage. And the city government has done little to fix it. Many residents say the city is slowly turning into an open air landfill. Filthy, black snow, garbage, soup flooding the sidewalks, ice rinks on every corner, cars buried like fossils, people slipping, breaking ankles. No one shoveling, no one salting, no one doing anything. This is New York City. Three minutes from the mayor's house. Under Mayor Mamdani, the city that never sleeps is becoming the city that never sweeps.
- [24:17]
A
I kind of like that line, actually. Doug. Isn't this the warm of the warmth of collectivism, Doug?
- [24:23]
B
Yeah, I mean, the bottom line is, and you'll find this interesting, actually, because it's slightly counterintuitive where I came out on mom, dummy, you know, of course I didn't vote for them, is that it wasn't even ideology, socialism. Forget that my starting point is a 34 year old with no executive experience whatsoever is one of the last people that you want to run the most complicated city on the planet. Okay? So this guy has no skills, zero. To run this place. And it's amazing because I actually went away to the west coast to see my son. Was gone a week and I came back and working right off what you just played the situation in terms of the street and the snow and the ice was just as bad as when I left.
- [25:06]
A
Well, I live in Alexandria, Virginia, and we got the same snow and everything. And in places like Baltimore and around here, the city will fine you for not shoveling your sidewalk even though it's frozen ice. Right, but. But the parking spaces on the side of most of the roads have not been cleared. So if you want to park, to go into someplace, you literally have to park in a lane of traffic. And they're gonna find me for my sidewalk.
- [25:35]
B
Nah, that's crazy. It's crazy. But again, you know, back to Mondame. You know how people voted for him? Again, completely taking out the socialism, the ideology, just on experience level. 34 years old with no management experience and you're going to elect him mayor of New York City. I just don't understand that. And I had people coming up to me left and right, telling me, you know, I think I'm Going to support him. I mean, look, we all get the concept of, you know, coming in with a couple of one liners, affordability, or with Obama, hope and change and everybody just buys into it hook, line and sinker. But at the same time, they could have taken a moment to reflect and say, this guy's way too young.
- [26:14]
A
Well, it's. The problem is that young people voted who are ignorant. Yeah, yeah, that's it. You know, because right now, what here's New York, New York is Lord of the Flies meets Animal Farm. That's a perfect. It is. It's a perfect description, right? It is a perfect. It is. Lord of the Flies meets Animal Farm. That's what. And what they did was, you know, you got a, you got a busload of kids, okay, a busload of first and second year old second graders and they get rid of the adult driving and toss the damn keys from to the first grader. That's what happened in New York City.
- [26:45]
B
Now.
- [26:45]
A
You're right, it's a damn shame. Also, I'm hearing that there are hundreds and hundreds thousands of people without heat in these supposed rent control departments that Mannami has. And by the way, also, Kathy Hochul is not going to give him the money that he needs, the taxes that he needs to do all this crap. So how do you think this is going to end for New York City?
- [27:09]
B
Well, I mean, I said all along, you know, a little bit of a crystal ball. I drew an analogy to Joe Biden, seriously, which is that the thing's going to flame out, he's going to be wildly, wildly unsuccessful. Then there'll be a correction, as it were, and we'll get back to a mayor more along the lines of Michael Bloomberg or Rudy Giuliani. And that's the way politics works. So I think, you know, again, I'm a little bit torn. I'm looking right out the window here in Manhattan. I'd like the mayor to be successful, obviously, but I vehemently disagree with everything that he stands for across the board. But I think you'll see just a natural political correction. I think he will be very, very, very unsuccessful. And I think he will be voted out of office.
- [27:52]
A
Well, unfortunately, he can do a lot of damage in the meantime. That's the main thing.
- [27:56]
B
That's the problem.
- [27:57]
A
And the garbage piles, I mean, is what I'm seeing, is it common, commonplace, is it happening all over the city right now? The garbage piles, the ice, you know, the ice, really?
- [28:08]
B
I mean, again, I just want to be fair, obviously, because I'm in one section of the city. Haven't been all around the whole thing. However, I was up by fifth Avenue, which is fairly far from where I live, and it's the same situation. What surprised me, and I'm not, you know, an expert, you know, in snow and everything else, but hear me out. What surprised me is the poor, poor condition of the intersections. Just huge ice and snow piled up, very hard to get across intersections, you know, dangerous and so forth. And it seems to me that there are ways to address it better. I mean, this guy again, I mean the experience level, you know, as my late father said, nobody's born knowing how to do anything. So you build up experience. I mean, look at you in media. You know, I've been doing it for decades.
- [28:54]
A
Obviously.
- [28:55]
B
Me in law. Same thing when I was 25 years old, 29 years old, you know, I didn't know anything about anything in law because I was just starting out. That's what it is with this guy Mandami. He's just starting out. He doesn't know anything. He's completely unqualified to run New York City.
- [29:09]
A
It's like a senior in high school becoming a Supreme Court justice. Exactly. All right, let's take a break and come back. Doug, I've got a few other things I want to hit you with on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for quints. You know, a well built wardrobe is about pieces that work together and hold up over time. That's what Quince does best. Premium materials, thoughtful design, everyday stables that feel easy to wear even as the weather shifts. Quince has everyday essentials. I love the quality that lasts, by the way. Organic cotton sweaters, polos for every occasion, lighter jackets to keep you warm in the changing season. The list goes on. Now, Quince works directly with top factories and cuts out the middleman. So you're not paying for brand markup, just quality clothing. Everything is built to hold up to daily wear and still look good season after season. I have a great wool blazer that has the ladies turning their heads even if they're not looking at me. And then of course, a cashmere sweater, ridiculously soft, doesn't cost a fortune as well.

Joining us on the Newsmax hotline, Doug Burns, former federal prosecutor Doug Burns. Law on Twitter, by the way. So Hillary and Bill, I can't believe they relented and said they're going to go ahead and testify. Hillary, of course, asking for a public hearing because that way, you know, Democrats can fluff her and she can shut down Republicans. What do you think about the Clintons deciding capitulating? Do you think that they, they thought they're gonna go to jail?
- [31:02]
B
They had no choice because what happened was they were playing a very cynical game. And they're cynical and they're very knowledgeable. So what they did is they must have told the lawyer, look, write a letter, say the subpoena is invalid. I explained to you that that's ridiculous. No lawyer can write a letter saying a subpoena is invalid. You have to go to court and move to quash the subpoena. That's the term. And if the court quashes it, then you don't have to comply. And they must have said to Lowell all, let's take our chances. If they don't appear to be moving to hold us in contempt of Congress and or referring it to the doj, then that's it, end of story. If they are, then get back with us. And then they had absolutely no choice. Now, on the public versus private, this thing is so it's as plain as the nose on people's faces or whatever the cliche is. A public hearing is a complete and total joke. Everybody makes their five minute dopey political speeches. They start shrieking hysterically like Maxine Waters, I'm reclaiming my time. I'm reclaiming my time. And nothing productive takes place. A behind closed doors deposition, Rob, is much more like a real deposition in a real lawsuit where lawyers can really get in their grill and question them hard. That's why Bill Clinton makes this phony argument about it should be public and transparent. That's all nonsense. He just doesn't want to be subject to a grilling and a true deposition. Now, lastly, sort of reading your mind, what's going to happen? Look, the Clintons can tap dance. They're like Fred Astaire. And they also can lie. Okay, hate to be harsh, but it's warranted. So I don't think much productive is going to come out of it.
- [32:39]
A
You know, I think what really did it was several Democrats went along with it. And I think the Democrats are beginning. They don't, you know, they don't hold as much sway as they used to in the party. Exactly. No, no.
- [32:49]
B
A lot of Democrats have mixed feelings about the Clintons and all of their charades and everything else. And the fact of the matter is, I mean, the Epstein thing real quick from 30,000ft, and I've told you this many times, your listeners, you know, careful what you wish for because Epstein was much more aligned with Democratic political figures than Republicans. Okay? There's no question about that. Now you have the president of Harvard taking a huge hit, Brad Karp, the head of Paul Weiss law firm in New York City taking a huge hit, a member of the royal family. Here's Dahmer, Randy, Andy. And I'm telling you, if they want to keep scouring through these documents, a million documents, you're going to see more and more cadaver bags piling up. Rob?
- [33:34]
A
Yep, Yep. What do you think about Don Lemon? Is he going to go to jail?
- [33:38]
B
You know, it's interesting because his, his claim that he was just acting as a journalist is not, repeat, not going to hold up in front of a jury, ok? Because he went to a planning meeting before the event, which is really going to be potent in a courtroom. As far as jail, it's a borderline thing. A judge could, if he gets convicted, a judge could give him a year and a day, 18 months, or he could give him probation. We'll see. We're not there yet. And it depends what, you know, what jury pool you have and all of that. But again, I'm pleased, actually, that his fake charade about, oh, I'm just acting as a journalism journalist. That doesn't hold up at all. The guy was blocking, impeding. And then last point, huge point. Can you only imagine if a Trump supporter did that in an abortion clinic?
- [34:26]
A
Of course. Well, they already went to jail for standing outside and praying, for God's sake.
- [34:30]
B
Exactly.
- [34:31]
A
Are you kidding me? Ridiculous. Unbelievably ridiculous. Finally.
- [34:35]
B
Hypocritical beyond belief. And they brought all kinds of cases, dozens of cases for people who didn't even breach into an abortion clinic. And now they have the audacity to look right in a camera and go, oh, First Amendment, no, you can't interfere with people's free exercise of religion. It's ridiculous.
- [34:50]
A
Say, for instance, Don Lemon went to a planning meeting. Don Lemon bought them donuts and coffee, right? Yep, Yep. So this would be akin to Don Lemon talking to a group of bank robbers who are going to go into the bank and rob it. Okay? And instead of going in and saying, hey, you guys, are about to get robbed, participating in the robbery, standing there and impeding people from fleeing the robbery. It's the same damned thing.
- [35:15]
B
That is exactly the summation that the prosecutor is going to give, seriously, which is that you don't go prosecutor. One other quick factoid in the indictment towards the end, it says also that he was at the front entrance and he was blocking and impeding people from leaving. That's another fact that they're going to emphasize big time in court.
- [35:33]
A
By the way, Donald Trump had a huge win. Appeals court slaps down Biden judges block on Trump's executive orders aimed at eliminating dei. That's a big, that's a pretty big, big win because DEI was destroying our military. DEI was destroying universities and everything. This is a pretty good deal.
- [35:48]
B
It is. And we've been saying all along that not to be corny, but it's been great to see appeals courts knocking back these, you know, rogue individual judges decisions. That's exactly what happened here. So it's all good.
- [36:01]
A
All in all, I think, as I've said on the air, the left exposes its flank so we can kick its butt. And we have seen this with now we know we didn't. I didn't know the FBI was as corrupt as it was. I didn't know that. I didn't know that judges were this corrupt. You're probably a lot closer and obviously closer to it than I am, but I'm glad it's known now, Doug. I'm glad it's known.
- [36:24]
B
Well, judges are human beings and they are can bring biases to the bench, no question about it. But this particular episode, I'm going to call it in the last year, has been particularly egregious because the point is, most judges do try to conscientiously do the right thing. But here, since they had the White House, the Supreme Court and Congress, the courts was the last bastion. And a lot of these judges went way over their ski tips. But it's good to see again, broken record point. Good to see the appeals courts cutting it back, Rob.
- [36:54]
A
All right, my friend, great to talk to you. Have a glorious week, Doug. Hopefully spring will be arriving soon in New York City. We'll talk again soon.
- [37:01]
B
Okay, thanks, Rob. Appreciate it.
- [37:03]
A
All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Come on. By the way, Bon Scott is the correct answer for the best frontman for acdc. He just was. He was the best front man. He died 34 years old, choked at his own vomit. Did you know that? Yeah. You Gu went out drunk and, and passed out in the car. It was dreadful. And then they sneaked in. Brian Johnson. I was in like middle school. I didn't even notice the difference. But now I recognize the difference because Bon Scott is voice is very nuanced. Nothing against, nothing against Brian Johnson. Brian Johnson picked up the slack and made them a much big, greater band than you could have ever imagined. But Bon Scott was a better vocalist, I think. Anyway, you know, we may disagree. So Kelly Loeffler is the Small Business Administration secretary and she has discovered massive, massive, massive fraud just in California. Listen to the number of Small Business Administration loans in California that she's revoked.
- [38:19]
C
I'm here in San Diego standing at an address that Is registered to 14 businesses that took $2 million in pandemic era loan. Those loans haven't been paid back. But this is just the tip of the ICEBERG. Today the SBA is announcing we're suspending 112,000 California borrowers who took.
- [38:36]
A
Did you hear that? 112,000 borrowers.
- [38:41]
C
Tip of the iceberg. Today the SBA is announcing we're suspending 112,000 California Borrowers who took potentially upwards of $9 billion. We're going to continue to work with our federal partners to ensure accountability for Covid era fraud that the Biden administration tried to sweep under the rug. And just like Minnesota, California is another state whose socialist welfare policies have invited fraud. Well, the buck stops here. We're not looking the other way. We're prosecuting. There's going to be more to come.
- [39:11]
A
Yeah, there are in the state of Minnesota. This is Minnesota Representative Kristen Robbins talking about Ilhan Omar, who I hope is imprisoned, then sent back to Somalia penniless.
- [39:23]
C
In March of 2020 of Ilhan Omar authored a bill called the Meals act, which eventually was incorporated into a larger Covid package. This law enabled stated states to waive the normal eligibility requirements for participating in the National School Lunch Program, eliminating income requirements, site inspections, and expanded distribution methods. Minnesota took full advantage of these waivers and enabled site sponsors like Feeding Our Future partners in Quality Care and Gaga Family Services to bill for hundreds of millions of fake meals for fake children. Just one of these groups, Feeding Our Future, became the largest Covid fraud in state and national history, bilking taxpayers of at least $250 million.
- [40:05]
A
Yeah, this is what it was, man. All of that Covid aid, all of that increasing the budget of the United States by 40% was meant for Democrats to enrich themselves and their cronies and get their votes and get their money for their campaigns, et cetera. That's what it's all about. Left wing. Coming up, a report out of out of California. A woman named Amy Reichardt decided to do what Nick Shirley did and discovered the same thing in California involving the same community. Somalians. I know crazy don't go anywhere.
