So we will talk to Hillary at the bottom of the hour about a number of things that are happening in the news. The NBA association is siding with anti ice protesters in Minneapolis saying their players can no longer remain silent. Well, even if they were, nobody's listening because nobody watches NBA basketball anymore. I, I used to, when I lived in Minnesota, I used to go see the Timberwolves when I, when I lived in D.C. i used to go see some NBA games every once in a while. But I'm done. I'm done with the NBA. I get careless. I don't know. I don't know. I might know one NBA player now. I used to follow the NBA. Remember the NBA was kind of a big deal. NBA used to be a big deal. You, Everybody wants to buy the shoes. Everybody wants to be like Mike. Not anymore. Apparently the league postponed a Saturday matchup of the Minnesota Timberwolves Golden State warriors after a shooting involving federal agents. Blah, blah, blah. Players association characterization of Minneapolis as a city at the forefront of the fight against injustices. So done. So done. Go ahead, go ahead, do it. Side with the anti ice agents. NBA watch your, your League continue to die. I did watch some football over the weekend. I don't think I'll be watching the Super Bowl. I, I don't. Part of it is. And I don't really care about either one of the teams. I mean, I'm glad they got there. You know, there's a kind of cool story coming out of New England. Their quarterback's 23 years old. Seattle, you know, blah, blah, blah. But are no rem. But Green Day doing the show opening. And then of course, the jack weed in the, in the halftime show was anti American gonna be wearing a dress. Bad bunny. I think I'm done. I think I'm gonna. I think I may. I'm gonna do something better with my time. To be quite honest. I. I don't know, guys. You know, I'm kind of tired of their bullcrap. You know, you still got these stupid virtue signaling messages in the end zone in racism.

[Scott Bessant]

Shut up.

[Rob Carson]

I don't need you to tell me to end racist. Shut up. My generation grew up. It was like we, we moved on. We. Shut up. Shut up. My generation, we, you know, we watched the Jefferson, we watched Roots, we watched all in the Family. We, you know, we, we didn't care. Didn't care. For decades, I've worked with black men, you know, including when I was in college, there's a guy named George Nelson. Became one of my best friends. And I never ever once, ever once thought of him as a black man. Never. I never said, hey, you're black and I'm white. No, it was just George, my friend George. I worked with him four summers when I was in college. We'd go out on the line, work our butts off in the hot sun. Never once did we say, holy hell, you're black and I'm white. Whatever. When I worked at the car dealership, had my good friend Sam. Sam was my immediate supervisor, happened to be a black guy. I, I never looked at Sam as a black guy. He was just Sam. It's so stupid, this bullcrap they foisted upon us. This generation of idiots who decided to make our country into 1968 all over again. It's utterly ridiculous. Thank God. Thank God that is coming to a close. This weekend I went to. A friend of mine, is an artist. I met an artist here as a friend, and she's in this little confab of artists down here that. This building, it's called the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria. And it's filled with artists who sell their wares in their booths and A lot of them are very extreme, very left of center a holes. And they post on their windows, you know, placards that say, you know, Charlie Kirk was a piece of crap. There's just one guy posing a sign facing out says, charlie Kirk was a piece of crap. And then another sign that basically infers they want Donald Trump to be assassinated. And I've got several of these. These artists that I know there. One's Catholic, but a good share of them are Jewish. And they're really scared. They're really scared. Yeah. It's not 1939 Germany. It's freaking a liberal bastion in Northern Virginia across from Washington D.C. it's ridiculous. Ridiculous. Anyway, I was at this art show with her, got talking to this guy. He was wearing a stocking cap from Pittsburgh Steelers. And I got to talking to him a little bit. Turns out he's a preacher, he's a black man. I never even noticed he was a black man. I'm just telling you, he's a black man. We had one of the most unique, amazing conversations. And it wasn't anything. It was starting off like we're talking about Pittsburgh and Permanent Brothers sandwiches. And then it became something very deep. I mean, like, maybe there's a reason why I ran into you, sir, and we exchanged phone numbers and. And I might even speak to his congregation. It's pretty amazing. I don't know. There's something going on, man. There's something. Something changed this weekend. I mean, something's going on in Minneapolis. I was looking at the UK Daily Mail and they're saying, you know, of course Tim Waltz is claiming victory. He says that Tim Waltz said that Donald Trump wants to pull ice out of Minnesota and. And allow cops to investigate the shooting. That's Tim Waltz. And it's also the UK Daily Mail. I don't know. I don't know. Something's going on. I do know that the Minneapolis river, bruh. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. Commerce. They're done. They said, we got to bring this down. We've got to be able to do business here. These idiots doing all this nonsense. Target CEO signed this letter to the Chamber of Commerce because these idiot Karens, these psycho Karens in Minneapolis, are now going into Target stores. You know that the. Is eating its own. When crazy white women won't shop at Target, that's when it gets nuts. When crazy white women go into Target and fill their. What they've been doing lately is filling their carts with goods and then just leaving them. So the teenage kids who work at the Target have to put all these things away, including the ice cream that's going to melt just to be d words for Richard. And yes, women can be that, by the way. But an open letter from more than 60 CEOs of Minnesota based companies basically saying we're done with this nonsense. CEOs of Target, best Buy Minnesota based companies call for de escalation. Enough is enough. Enough is enough, Tim. Eh? Enough is enough. 10a. Oh. Would you like to hear our crazy cat lady of the day? I'm gonna do this as a regular feature. This is a crazy cat lady of the day. Now, there's no reason to leave the United States of America. Nobody's being persecuted for their religion unless you know you're a Jew and you live in Zoran Mandami's New York or on a college campus. Donald Trump is not going after anybody who doesn't deserve to be gotten after like illegal criminals in Democrat run cities. But people like Rosie o' Donnell have left because they're nuts. Here's a woman that has uprooted her entire family, changed her children's lives just like this. This Alex Preddy who, who's now his kids won't have a dad because he swallowed the mania that the, that the left is spewing about ICE agents and all of this. So he decides to take a gun, a loade and two clips to a police action, an ICE action and get involved. The gun gets seen or whatever and then he gets dead. No reason for it at all. But this woman, this bad guano crazy woman decided to move from Kentucky to the Netherlands with her children. This woman is so mentally unhinged, she should have her children taken from her. Renee Goode did the same thing, uprooted her kids, moved to Canada. Why? Because Mommy's crazy. Mommy's crazy. Listen to this.

[Lindsey (Caller or Guest)]

If you are thinking about leaving the United States, especially if you live in a red state, I just want to let you know you're not alone. I'm Lindsey and me and my husband and my two small kids moved from Kentucky to the Netherlands three months ago.

[Rob Carson]

We call that self deportation. We love that.

[Lindsey (Caller or Guest)]

The number of people from Kentucky who reached out to me to ask how they could leave too has shocked me.

[Rob Carson]

I love it.

[Lindsey (Caller or Guest)]

Kentucky's a red state, right?

[Rob Carson]

Please, just everybody leave.

[Lindsey (Caller or Guest)]

But people don't talk about it. They might not say it out loud.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Lindsey (Caller or Guest)]

But blue dots, you are not alone.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Lindsey (Caller or Guest)]

Other Kentuckians want to leave.

[Rob Carson]

Sure. Yeah. Your movement is so stupid and it's not as big as you think it is they were going to do this big walkout on January 20, the inauguration of, or I should say the anniversary of Trump's inauguration and it did nothing. It did nothing at all. No businesses were shut. There was no, there was no big gigantic economic impact. Nothing happened. Nothing happened. Crazy cat ladies. Jim Gossett.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

Well they have a lot of cats and they're mostly democrats like BP Harris.

[Rob Carson]

Bye. Go to the Netherlands.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

They cry when they lose from their left wing views. I wish they'd spare us.

[Rob Carson]

Take your cats with you. We don't like cats.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

Cat ladies. Whoa, whoa, whoa. They're cat ladies.

[Rob Carson]

Actually I don't, I'm allergic.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

Talking about some miserable ladies who have clearly lost their mind.

[Rob Carson]

People that are so alive.

[Hillary Fordwich]

I nail you.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

Got called out by J.D. benz when he had the chance. He really nailed them.

[Rob Carson]

Nailed them.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

Yeah, well sure they're too dumb to know Kamala and Joe have really failed them. They're cat ladies. Rare don't have a child. They're cat ladies. Talking about submissions are a lady elbow who are out of their mind good self deportation.

[Rob Carson]

Please, please leave. On the other side of the break, Mark Carney, the premier of Canada says that you know they're going to do a new world order with China. Donald Trump over the weekend says okay well we'll put 100% tariff on everything you you sell to us. Apparently he had a little come to Jesus too. We got that on the other side of the break. Don't go anywhere.

[Co-host or Guest Commentator]

The nuge. The nuge.

[Rob Carson]

I love it. I love it. James o' Keefe was writing over the weekend and and apparently in in Minnesota we're discovering that the Minnesota political establishment was involved in doxing of agents, a massive group on signal chat, basically running shifts and in sending people out to attack and impede ICE officials. Alex Preddy who was killed over the weekend by an ICE agent apparently high level organizational efforts within the Minnesota state legislature. Reports indicate that pretty a 37 year old ICA ICU nurse shot by federal agents was an active member of the anti ice signal chats used to coordinate rapid responses and track federal agents across Minnesota. About across Minneapolis. Man behind the chat, State representative Alex Falconer, freshman DFL legislator is publicly admitting to leading the the rapid response networks. Yeah, this is kind of a big deal. And then all the fraud up there of course and the theft. James o' Keefe writes I've never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I've inter with the cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in 2024. But what strikes me is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. See, I told you. It was like, it was like Animal Farm, you know, they have people at hotels that work 1984 versus meets Animal Farm. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them, which is making it difficult, difficult us to lose our tail once they. My cover was blown. Usually I lose a tail. Not this time. We watch location three times, switch locations three times. I recorded and posted this while leaving Wayzata while they were still surveilling. I was inside what appeared to be a fully autonomous zone. No police presence. The police were told to leave. I identified myself as press and they told me they kill press and will not let me leave. My skin was covered because it was so cold, but because they couldn't verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing icebox at us. One hit. Marine who was with us, they patted him down like they were the authorities attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we got even got to it. Yeah. This is the insanity of these, these idiots. I see. These Communists do not fear death in the same way most people seem to. The only thing communists fear is exposure itself. That's James o' Keefe over the weekend in Minneapolis. And that's what this is all about. This is, this is communism. This is the creeping communism. That's what they want to do. This is what it's always been about. Mark Carney, by the way, Mark Carney is the premier of Canada and he, he decided to go over to China and visit with China and then said some things about a new world order with China leading it and all of that. And Donald Trump said, I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, really, really stupid thing to do. Here's what Donald Trump wrote over the weekend on Truth. If Governor Carney thinks he's going to make Canada a drop off port for China to send goods and products into the United States, he's sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses. If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming to the United States. Thank you for your attention to the matter. Now here is Mark Carney last week versus today.

[Announcer/Narrator]

I'm pleased today to announce that Canada and China have reached a preliminary but landmark trade agreement. We have commitments under Kuzma that not to pursue free trade agreements with non market economies without prior notification. We have no intention of doing that with China or any other non market economy.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, there you go. What, what an idiot. What an idiot. I've been talking to Michael Charbonne, he's on vacation and been bugging him. We was Dominican Republic or something like that. You know they like to go places that are warmer when they're on vacation in Canada, you know, like South Dakota, let's say. Are you, are you out of your mind? Your premier is going to bed down with China. He's going to take your country in the direction of China. Really stupid thing to do. Really stupid and irresponsible thing to do. And I think he's gonna. I hope Oleev is ends up being in charge up there. He should. And when that happens, it's gonna be glorious. It is going to be glorious. Here's Scott Bessant this weekend. Scott Bessant was on Fuego this weekend on Sunday morning television talking about Canada.

[Scott Bessant]

Some industry specific tariffs on Chinese goods. And we have a highly integrated market market with Canada sometimes in autos which he dropped the EV tariff I believe from 100% to 6%. Goods control cross the border during the manufacturing process six times and we can't let Canada become an opening that the Chinese pour their cheap goods into the US they have a USMCA agreement but based on, based on that which is going to be renegotiated this summer. And I'm not sure what Prime Minister Carney is doing here.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, he got a little. What? Fur. Didn't he? Oh, by the way, here's some more Bessant he decided to keep going after Gavin Newsom. Listen to this.

[Scott Bessant]

Over the weekend I think Gavin Newsom may be cracking up with some of these things he's saying. I think he may be in over his hairdo. And being on the national stage is very different than being governor of California with no signature achievements.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's true.

[Scott Bessant]

But to strange things like President Trump is a Tyrannosaurus rex. What the hell does that mean? You know, I could say Gavin Newsom is a brontosaurus with a brain the size of walnut. And if you brought the knee pads, maybe that was for his meeting with Alex Soros.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my goodness. I gotta tell you, he's become one of my favorite cabinet members. He is, he's just fantastic. Wow. What's gold doing? Well, it's still over $5,000 an ounce. Yeah, it is $5,000 an ounce. Silver. Silver is at $109. Silver is at a hundred and nine dollars this morning. That's a hundred dollars on gold since Friday. And that's like, well, I don't know, at least 10 bucks more for silver since Friday. I don't think I can stress enough that if you've got an underperforming IRA or 401k, you can convert it into an IRA in gold with birch gold. And you're eligible for up to a $10,000 rebate with qualifying purchases if you do it by the end of the month. In four days. In four days. You don't even need to remember a phone number. You don't. I'm terrible at that, too. Just text my name. Rob to 989-898 for Burt's Gold. Get the ball rolling. Rob to 989898. Get the ball rolling. Gold is now solidly over $5,000. Silver is solidly over $100. What are you waiting for? Text Rob to 989-898, for Burchgold. Let's see Hillary Ford, which joins us next to talk about Great Britain and such. Don't go anywhere. 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 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain?

[Nigel Farage]

How can it be that somebody who enters our country illegally having destroyed their identity documents is a higher priority for housing than a former serviceman or woman who has fallen on hard times? It's outrageous. It's wrong. And it's time to start putting our own people and our own veterans community first, first, first.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Nigel Farage]

And we must do that.

[Rob Carson]

That is Nigel Ferrari. I understand he gonna be the next prime minister of Great Britain, I believe. But you know somebody who would know that better than me? Hilary Fordwich, keynote Speaker, Newsmax and GB News contributor as well, joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How are you on this glorious and snowy Monday?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, good afternoon, Rob. Thank you for having me. And I will say, I think our region, the Washington, D.C. region, has coped incredibly well with this terrible storm. But I know a lot of people in the south without power probably can't hear us right now, but we've done well in this region.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I was actually quite surprised yesterday. I was out and about in Northern Virginia and they had done a pretty good job clearing off the roads. I don't have any problem driving in this stuff. You're from England, so how about you? Do you have trouble driving in this stuff?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Oh, no, absolutely not. I've been here in America for many, many years. I've learned how to drive in the snow. Thank you. But I will say this, I will say that we are seeing a global, I think, transformation. I think people are having enough. And I think to your point and your very good question, Nigel Farage is really positioned now tremendously well to lead the British nation hopefully back to greatness. But I know that England, when he says, and it's being said and tossed around a lot in England now, including a lot by GB News, you know, Britain is broken. Many people have come to that admission now and we, thank goodness aren't a broken nation. We were heading that direction and that's been stopped now. But, yes, he may well be the next British prime Minister.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I had the opportunity to meet him where I met you for the first time at an event for GB News. And I saw him speak and I saw shades of Thatcher, I saw shades of Churchill. He is a politically incorrect gentleman. He is very honest, brutally honest to some degree. He has a terrific sense of humor. By the way, I spoke to him probably a good half an hour. And I just think he is the kind of leader that Great Britain needs right now. And a lot of people are debating Hillary about whether it was too late, whether Great Britain was too far gone. And I, you know, you know the expression we shared with one another, don't get wobbly, as Margaret Thatcher said, and he's not. And do you that he's going to turn this around and how soon do you suppose that could happen?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, there's many parts to that. Let me address the part for those of our members of our audience listening that aren't familiar with that phrase. It was when Ronald Reagan had just become president and Margaret Thatcher was in power and when the air traffic controllers were threatening to Go on strike. And Margaret Thatcher placed a call to our then and said, don't go wobbly, Ronnie, meaning stand your ground. And I will say to Americans list, you know, if Reagan had capitulated and gone wobbly, we might have had strikes across this nation, as Great Britain had when I left in the late 70s when I was a girl, the train drivers went on strike. The rubbish collection, in other words, trashmen went on strike. The electricity board went on strike. My daddy had to sleep on the floor in London in his office because there weren't any trains. We ate dinner by candlelight. Not just to be an elegant, tasteful family, but because there was no electricity. So now bringing that all forward to this current day right now, what's interesting is what do they say that those that don't take lessons from it, history will.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. Repeat it.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Yes, yes. My daddy was a self made man. He was in. And anybody can Google this for fact to be factually accurate. 1976, Daddy was in an 82% tax bracket and they were putting up from 82%. And he said enough is enough. Now, currently every 45 minutes a millionaire leaves the United Kingdom and goes to a different country. That's what the current Labour government has done. Totally reminiscent of the 70s. Now let's bring this together to where your question and where we are today. So now, Nigel Farage, yes, he's got a great sense of humor. I've enjoyed him speaking with him. He's somewhat in quotes, politically incorrect, you're right. But what's interesting is he's more like a regular person. Rob, what you just described, he's more like a regular person. He's not pontificating. Now, I'll tell you the key to success for any politician. It's one that has a true north. Ronald Reagan had a true north. Donald Trump, you can see every interview where he was interviewed since 1984. It's on YouTube and you can see clips from all those interviews. And he said the same thing since 1984, we're sending our jobs abroad. We're sending our manufacturing abroad. Our nation is broken. We are letting the. He said you can sell. The Japanese can sell anything here. We're not selling into Japan. Donald Trump has a. President Trump has a true north. That's the difference. Nigel Farage has a true north. He wants to bring prosperity back, peace back. He wants to reinstall the rule of law. That's why I think he will be successful more than anything else. I see politicians with a true north stick to it because they don't care about polls, they don't care about isolated incidents, they don't care about the day to day. They are long term visionaries with the true north and that's what Nigel Farage brings to the uk.

[Rob Carson]

When is Keir Starmer going to leave office? When would this transition happen? Familiar with the election process in Great Britain?

[Hillary Fordwich]

The parliamentary system. Yeah, the parliamentary system. Now, what is interesting is it is fixed. It's not likely. Where we have a regular election every four years now, a residing current Prime Minister can call an election because it's upon their whim. They could call it if they want, sooner than the usual period of time. If the usual stipulation and period of time is left, it won't be until, I believe, I think it's. I think it's 20, 28. It's like two years from now, which is amazing to think 28 is two years from now. But though I do think there is such a groundswell of unrest and also what you're seeing in a county called East Sussex in England, they just in the middle of the night brought 600 illegal men. Those are men that came on boats. So that would be the same in our, in the US audience, like crossing the southern border with Great Britain being an island. These were small boats with migrants that came, they were taken and they were being put in this little village because in the beautiful countryside, they were using an old army barracks. These local villagers, they don't want this. They have dogs in their village, they don't want their young daughters raped, the girls want to walk to school. And this sort of local thing that's happening as well as in the uk, migrants are being given six months free housing, free hotels. And I think there's a national groundswell of opposition. But I will quote Winston Churchill who said democracy is not a good form of government, it's just better than everything else tried. What happens in a democracy is when you get a majority, of course you can vote. So in England now, there's a huge illegal population and huge Muslim population, where you have councils in different cities. Most major cities in the UK now have a Muslim mayor.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Hillary Fordwich]

So being overrun and the same thing. And this is what the parallels are for our audience, why it matters to listen to what's happening in the UK where you get a majority of a completely different religion. And I've always said this, you know, we've had this conversation before, you know, Catholics don't like Protestants, Protestants don't like Catholics, but Muslims are a religion that they still be infidel and so it's very dangerous.

[Rob Carson]

Islam, Islam is a political movement. Islam is not a religion. It's not it is a political movement. That's what Islam is. They are here for world domination and submission and governance. They are not a religion. Hillary Ford, which can you hold on, because I would like to get your thoughts on what's going on in Canada. The prime minister, Mark Carney, backing off a trade deal with China. Can you hold on through the break?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Yes, absolutely.

[Rob Carson]

Lovely. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show here. This is ROB CARSON Show. There is so much going on in the in the news today on top of a massive snowstorm. It was one of the larger ones I've seen in my lifetime and I've never seen such a swath of everything from freezing rain in the south to 2ft of snow in Boston. I think here in the D.C. area, about 8 to 10 inches of of snow and all of that. But it was kind of fun that when you when you live locally here I was watching the local newscasts and they have, yeah, I don't know if you knew, Capitol Hill actually is a hill and people went there to go sledding. I thought that was very charming. I saw that dad's bringing their kids over to Capitol Hill and, and, and sledding down there. Joining us on the Newsmax hotline, Hillary Ford, which keynote speaker, NewsMax contributor, also GB News regular as well, to talk about a bunch of things. The EU huffed and puffed about Greenland and then ultimately back down with regard to us, you know, being involved in Greenland. Donald Trump, of course, threatened massive tariffs. Seems to have worked, doesn't it? HILLARY?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, absolutely. And one of the things I've been saying, Rob, is could you imagine I'm an American taxpayer. Could you imagine saying to a British taxpayer, a Swedish taxpayer, a Dutch taxpayer, a German taxpayer, you know, we would like you to spend 2% of your national GDP. So as a taxpayer, you're going to pay for this. This to protect the US Southern border. Everyone in Europe will say, what? What? Meanwhile, you rob everybody, every member of our audience listening right now that's ever paid a penny in taxes, you and me and Rob, we've all paid to defend Europe and they cannot defend themselves. We're doing it. So the US Is the major contributor, a major contributor to NATO and Greenland is not a US Just a US Issue. It is a Western security issue with the melting of all that I Greenland, the trade routes are going to open up, which actually will be very good for trade. Oh, yes, security routes. And it is a nation. It is a nation that is. The Danish are incapable financially of defending that island and they need US port. And you're right, they have capitulated. It's all ended up being actually rather good for everybody, the U.S. without having to spend billions, we're going to have control. We're going to be able to defend ourselves and protect ourselves.

[Rob Carson]

You know, it's interesting, there's been a lot of, you know, bloviating and this Donald Trump lays it on like, Mark Carney in Canada went to visit China, announced a new world order with China. Donald Trump says, okay, you do that. New world order. We're going to tariff everything coming from Canada 100%. This morning he's like, Mark Carney's like, I don't know what you're talking about. We had no plan on doing that. It is just. It is. I love this 3D chess that Donald Trump is playing.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Oh, yes. Well, actually, Carney had to sort of retract. He had to say that the recent agreement with China only rolled back tariffs in a few sectors that have been hit in recent years and it really did not amount to a free trade deal. And he also had to say that he actually had to admit that under the U.S. mexico, Canada agreement, Canada hasn't committed to pursue free trade agreements with any of those non market economies without prior notifications. So I think it's really interesting that he had to say, we have no intention of doing that with China or any other non market economy. Meanwhile, you know, earlier in the month he went and visited Xi Jinping. I think he thought he was going to rear end Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

President Trump, just not a good idea. Just. I mean, what sort of audacity would he have, particularly after what happened with Greenland. What a foolish thing to do.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Yes. And also the other thing is, would he really put up his hand and how many Canadians would really say, we think the Chinese are more our friends than the US Stupid. Who wouldn't think that? Who would even say that?

[Rob Carson]

Europe was doing it, France was doing it. Emil Macron, he said that we need more investment in China. Are you out of your net?

[Hillary Fordwich]

I know, I know. And that this is the issue. Also, don't forget also with all these electrical vehicles, the Chinese rare earth minerals to make batteries for all these electrical vehicles. Which is why the big guy, meaning Biden, the big guy with all those kickbacks to his family, why Biden did all those deals with the Chinese and why all of those. All the legislation was passed in The US previously, for all the electrical vehicles. And we were supposed to be investing in electrical vehicles. It was because the Chinese were making them.

[Rob Carson]

And of course, of course that's why when Trump was over at, at Davos, which I thought was just a master class, it was so marvelous, so marvelous. He said, you know, we were buying all these windmills and everything. You go to China, you never see windmills. It's just, it was, I thought, I thought Davos. I really enjoyed Davos. What did you think of Trump's performance in Davos?

[Hillary Fordwich]

Well, what I would say is the most important thing to actually pay attention to. Is Davos the best thing? Well, first of all, I thought Scott Betton was wonderful. Trump was wonderful. Absolutely. But the best come out of it, actually, as far as I was concerned, is something that's been little reported in the us. You've got to listen to the German chancellor because he actually got up on stage and admitted that globalization had failed.

[Rob Carson]

I know I played that I never.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Thought I'd ever hit.

[Rob Carson]

I thought that was absolutely amazing. I played that last week. That was gigantic. Underreported, underreported. And then you had even businessmen say that they were holding their breath through Joe Biden's entire presidency, never knowing what sort of idiocy would come out of it. And then of course, Al Gore shrieking about global warming, climate change, murder, hornets, ozone hold, nonsense. Nobody's paying attention. I think we're on the cusp of what could be one of the most amazing historical years we've seen in world history. With Maduro gone, with Iran falling, with Cuba falling, freedom spreading. Wouldn't it be amazing? Paul Ivier in Canada, Nigel Farage in Great Britain. Oh my goodness. Can you even imagine? Hillary. Erica. Hillary. Hillary Fordwich. Sorry.

[Hillary Fordwich]

No, that's okay. And going back to Friedrich Meyers, the German chancellor.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Hillary Fordwich]

What was so interesting was that he. What happens is I always call it the domino effect. You know, nobody seems to have the courage, because they're not real leaders, to stamp up and say something. Needless to say, two tier Keir Starmer would never have done that. But the fact that Friedrich Mears did have the courage to stand up and actually admit that Europe cannot play a global role, that we said they need the us, that globalization has failed. And his admissions. I thought that when he said that, he said something about Europe's possibilities for an independent action are highly limited. I think that's what he said. And he also admitted about the situation in Ukraine. There's a crisis, an example where Europe totally lacked any leverage to insist on any kind of settlement terms. And also they've been nutty enough to continue to buy Russian oil.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Ludicrous. Funding the war they're supposed to be fighting. Well, I think we're turning point.

[Rob Carson]

I think we are really. I do believe this is going to be one of the greatest years in world history for freedom and opportunity. Hillary Ford, which always good to talk to you. Thank you for joining me today on the Rob Carson Show.

[Hillary Fordwich]

Pleasure. Always, Rob. All right, one quick last point, everybody. To Mark Ruta. The reason he was the head of NATO, the reason he was so good with President Trump was because I used to head Global Business Development, the KPMG in Amsterdam. I know about the Dutch. I live there. Married to a Dutchman. He managed a coalition of diverse parties. That's why he's a brilliant negotiator. So as an American, we should all be grateful to Margaret Ruta for his deal with President Trump. We're on to a good. Into a good place.

[Rob Carson]

All right. Very good. Thanks for joining me today. Be safe. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. All right. So about ready to run out of time here. Senate GOP telling Democrats to shove it. They're moving forward with DHS and ICE Funding already passed in the House. We'll move forward as planned and hope Democrats can find a path forward to join us. Yeah, it's such bullcrap, these Democrats, honestly, death spiral into hell, people. What I tell you that spiral into hell. Dying like movie vampires. Scott Besson has become my favorite cabinet member. He's just kicking butt. He's just amazing. Here he is schooling John Carl with a K on Sunday on abc, talking about Greenland. Just listen. This is magnificent. It seems like the same agreement that's been in place since the 50s.

[Scott Bessant]

Well, I think you haven't seen the full agreement. Secretary General Mark Ruta was a very good interlocutor between the Europeans and between President Trump. But look, a lot, a lot of things have changed up in Greenland. Jonathan, do you know what the Istanbul bridge is?

[Rob Carson]

Tell me.

[Scott Bessant]

Chinese.

[Rob Carson]

You should know this. You, you idiot. You're supposed to be an investigative reporter and you're. You're talking to the secretary of the Treasury. Why do you know that?

[Scott Bessant]

That for the first time in October came across the Arctic into the.

[Rob Carson]

Let's listen to that again because this is important here. I got to back this up. Second here. How do I do this? Here we go. Hold on one second. Yeah, here we go.

[Scott Bessant]

Listen to this freight ship that for the first time in October, came across the Arctic into the UK as the Chinese freight ship. They are shortening their travel time. So the Arctic is changing very important strategically for the US to help control that.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. But again, it seems like we're going to basically have this. I mean, Greenland's not going to become part of the United States. We're going to have. No, you idiot. Oh, my God. You go back to that. It's not about making, you know, Greenland part of the United States. It's about securing Greenland. Because right now, the Chinese in the Russians are all over it. They want to take it. Duh, duh. Vesa is just a wonderful surprise. Marco Rubio, too. I'm just like, what? Really? Wow. Totally kicking butt. Wow. Today was. Did you have fun today? I had a hell of a good time today on the show, man. We covered everything today. I, you know, I was bumming out because all this violence and stuff in Minneapolis over the weekend and all this absurdity, and I just know that the left is in their death throats. I know that the left is in their death rows. They're in an indivisible position and America is just done with them. Biting the finger off an ice agent. We've had enough of it. We've had enough of the nonsense. We want to experience glory and freedom and Joy in our 250th year. And we're going to do that, aren't we? Yes, we are. Yes, we are. All right. Have a glorious day. God bless you. America is founded. Donald Trump, as he is changing the world in what could be the greatest year of our lives. And until tomorrow, which is Tuesday, and maybe you'll be back at work. Don't catch the stupid. I love you guys. I'll see you.
