Rob Carson (Intro)
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.
Rob Carson
This is the Rob Carson show. Our number two on this Wednesday, we already had John Schneider on show. That was a lot of fun. You get a chance to, you know, download the podcast. It's on all available platforms. ROB CARSON Show Just subscribe. If you're on Spotify, click the little bell and subscribe. There's a little bell there. And, and then on iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia, I don't know, we're everywhere. We're on your toaster, for God's sake. If you said, alexa, turn on the Rob Carson show on my toaster, he would probably show up, as, you know, on your toaster. So we're just about everything on the, on the show. So anyway, we got to get the stream issues figured out. We got a little streamage, little stream problem. But anyway, our number two of the show continues. Continues. Here we've got a few things in the air, a few balls in the air, as it were. The Caroline Levitt says that the reason why, for instance, the governor's dinner is a lot of, a lot of bull crap. With the governor's dinner, you've got JB Tetzler or Pritzker, Pritzkel, whatever. You know, the tub of large from Illinois who's never going to be the president, by the way. He's too unlikable and too corrupt. He's an awful human being, absolutely unlikable human being, will never be the President of the United States ever, ever, ever, ever. And neither will Gavin Newsom because he's destroyed the state of California and he's a sleazebag who looks kind of like the Joker. He's never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to be the President of the United States. Just trust me on this. I'm right about all of this stuff. General. So that said, anyway, so JB Titsler Pritzler does not want to come to the Governor's dinner, thank God, because the budget of the meal just dropped by about 50%. We're going to save millions of dollars because JB Pritzler is not going to be at the Governor's dinner. And then Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland who was invited last year by Donald Trump to the Governor's dinner and blew it off, was not invited this year. So suddenly Donald Trump is racist. But here's Caroline Levitt on that.
Caroline Levitt
Look, I just spoke with the President about this. It is a dinner at the White House. It's the people's house. It's also the President's home. And so he can invite whomever he wants to dinners and events here at the White House. I believe Governor Moore was invited last year and he did not show up.
Rob Carson
Yeah, generally, if you don't get invited to. If you get invited to Donald Trump's house for dinner, you probably want to go because it's kind of a big deal. I got invited by Chris Ruddy to dine at Mar A Lago about four years ago, and you bet your butt I went.
Caroline Levitt
Heck, yeah, to the dinner last year. Nobody reported on it. But again, the President has the discretion to invite whomever he wants to the White House and he welcomes all those who received an invitation to come. And if they don't want to, that's their loss.
Rob Carson
And again, Wes Moore didn't come last year and then he spent the last year talking about Donald Trump's racist and all of this. And so Donald Trump said, you're not going to come this year. And all of a sudden, Wesmore, by the way, if Donald Trump would have invited this year, Wesmore would have turned him down. He would have turned him down. But because he was not invited this year, because he turned him down last year, suddenly Donald Trump's a racist. Do you understand what I'm trying to say here? It's just, it's so. Just stupid and ridiculous, to be quite honest. Tomorrow, one of the biggest deregulations in business History is going to take place. So if you thought that the, the job market and the economy were on fire, it's going to get even bigger.
Caroline Levitt
Additionally, on Thursday, President Trump will be.
Rob Carson
Getting a whole getting rid of a whole lot of green energy bull crap.
Caroline Levitt
Joined by administ Lee Zeldin to formalize the rescission of the 2009 Obama era endangerment finding. This will be the largest deregulatory action in American history and it will save the American people $1.3 trillion in crushing regulation. The bulk of the savings will stem from reduced costs for new vehicles with the EPA projecting average per vehicle savings of more than $2,400 for popular light duty cars, SUVs and trucks.
Rob Carson
Nice.
Caroline Levitt
This is just one more way this administration is working to make life more affordable for everyday American.
Rob Carson
Yeah, because regulations and taxes are what kill businesses. That's why so many Democrat states are bleeding their population because they have so much more taxes and regulation. It doesn't take a genius. It doesn't take a genius. CBS issued a big report. Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back in office had violent criminal records. Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Donald Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses. According to an internal Department of Home Security Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News provides the most detailed look into yet into ICE as arrested during the Trump administration's far reaching deportation operations in the United States. And then Caroline Levitt, who is just one of the best, by the way, the best press secretary in the history of press secretary. I mean that 100% the best ever. She's 27 years old, first time mom, and here she is shredding the CBS report alike cheddar number one.
Caroline Levitt
The Trump administration has been clear from day one that any illegal alien present in this country is subject to deportation.
Rob Carson
Yeah, that's the way it is in all the other countries that exist.
Caroline Levitt
However, the priority of course is going after the convicted criminals, the worst of the worst. The murderers, the pedophiles, the rapists in this country. Interestingly, in the CBS story, what the Democrat talking heads on television are not saying is this line. Nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year have had criminal charges or convictions. And among that population, the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are for nonviolent crimes.
Rob Carson
Like what?
Caroline Levitt
Oh, well, what are nonviolent crimes, you ask? This has coincided.
Rob Carson
Shoplifting, a candy bar, something really small like that. Right.
Caroline Levitt
With which DHS has been saying all along that approximately 70% of illegal aliens arrested under President Trump have pending criminal charges and or prior convictions.
Rob Carson
Little stuff like speeding, going 10 miles an hour over a speed limit. Right, right.
Caroline Levitt
And these so called nonviolent crimes. Drug trafficking, distribution of child porn, burglary, fraud, dui, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor and human smuggling, just to name a few. So just because a crime is not violent in nature doesn't mean that crime is victimless. And I can guarantee every single person who is out there on television right now pointing to these statistics that were taken out of context by CBS News would not want an illegal alien convicted of the distribution of child porn or fraud or DUI living in your community.
Rob Carson
Probably not, because they don't.
Caroline Levitt
500 arrests ICE has made so far. How many have a criminal record versus.
Rob Carson
Those who are just in the country illegally?
Caroline Levitt
All of them. Because they illegally broke our nation's laws and therefore they are criminals.
Rob Carson
What? She's no kjp. More like Kaylee and Sarah. Yeah, Bruce Lee. Her first press briefing was strong. Jim Gossett, by the way she deals in. You ready to sing? Sing with me. Not liberal propaganda. We have been lied to for so long and raise your hand. Pick me, pick me. Caroline, I'm right here. Be polite or she won't call on you. Come on. Meet Caroline. Kicking butt and taking names. Some names, some names, some names. She's not inclined to let reporters play their games. Sweet Caroline. That is one of my favorites. And the only reason I played that is because I was noticing on the Rumbly Roo, you guys on Rumble chatting. And one of them brought up the song. I said, you know, I gotta play Sweet Caroline today because she is friggin amazing. She's just phenomenal. She's diminutive. I met her when I was back here in D.C. for the first time. And I stood in front of her in a way because I used to have her on when she was a congressional candidate. And I stood in her way and she looked at me, goes Rob Carson. It was really funny. It was very funny. Then she had me arrested by security and hauled out. But other than that, it was, it was great. Here's Donald Trump talking about the Save America act, which Democrats hate because it stops illegal voting.
Rob Carson (Intro)
But we also have other bills. We want to get. We want to get the Save America act passed. Save America is on voting. We want people to have voter id. We want people have proof of citizenship and we want to have no mail in ballots other than if you're in the military or you're sick or you're away or some reasonable but good excuse.
Theo Walz
Can that get done, you think?
Rob Carson (Intro)
Before the midterm election polls at about 94%, including Democrats, are at 87%.
Rob Carson
The only people who don't want it are Democrats who are in power, who are robbing us freaking blind to the tune of a trillion dollars a year. Yeah, I got some testimony. Josh Hawley, in a second. The only people who are stopping this are the people who want to maintain the money to their friends and themselves. And they're the ones who are suddenly worth tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of dollars in Congress. And it's your money. They're living high on the hog while we suffer. I told you, we have a bourgeois, we have a proletariat. We get the crumbs and they feast. That's what we get. And if you don't believe me, here's Dick Turbin, as Rush Limbaugh used to call him, Dick Durbin talk how just requiring an id, which you need for everything, is really, really making it too hard to vote.
Caroline Levitt
SAVE act is expected to be brought to the floor for a vote this week.
Rob Carson
What are your thoughts on that?
Caroline Levitt
Are you going to support the SAVE Act?
Rob Carson
Not at all. It's a terrible idea. This notion that we want to put more obstacles in the paths of voters is just what Donald Trump wants. Fewer people voting. I want. No, not at all. It's you. You fool every legal citizen in America to be able to vote without obstacles. No, you don't.
Caroline Levitt
Do you think requiring an ID to.
Rob Carson
Vote in elections is making it harder? I mean, it's more than that. It's more than an id. It's proof that you were born in America. That's, that's absolutely, absolutely false. So what are we talking about, a passport or birth certificate? Got one of those handy with you in your purse? I doubt it. But you need an ID to get a passport and board an airplane and purchase a car and get a car registration and get a state ID and visit a casino and buy liquor and buy cigarettes and get a rental apartment and. And joined the military, and I can go on and on and on. It is absurd. It is ridiculous and stupid. This is Rebecca Bellet who's adding to the idiocy, saying women are either too stupid or incompetent to be able to get an id.
Caroline Levitt
The whole point of the democracy is to make it possible for people to vote because it's the people who get to decide the policies. And Republicans talk non stop about protecting women. And you'd think if they really believe this that this would be a non starter for them.
Rob Carson
No, no.
Caroline Levitt
Because it dis ridiculous franchises.
Rob Carson
No, it doesn't. Not at all.
Caroline Levitt
So many women.
Rob Carson
My daughter is 20 years old. She's had an ID since she was 16.
Caroline Levitt
But as we have seen with the Epstein files.
Rob Carson
Oh dear.
Caroline Levitt
Over this past year.
Rob Carson
Oh dear God.
Caroline Levitt
What they say and what they do are two different things.
Rob Carson
What did I tell you? A death spiral into hell. That's what it is. We're witnessing a death spiral into hell. They are dying like movie vampires, dragging, kicking and screaming, trying to drag you now women and you people of skin color, people of color trying to drag you into hell with them. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Rob Carson (Intro)
The media and our friends in the Democrat party kept saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president. Take a look at Minnesota. So we think it's at least $19 billion of fraud, medical, every fraud. Somalia has come in here. What they've done to our country, these people, they've come into our country and what they have done with that fake congresswoman, she's so bad.
Rob Carson
ILHAN Omar.
Rob Carson (Intro)
No, we're going to get to the bottom of it. We have the best. We have the best people and maybe in the whole country looking at that, we're looking at California too, because California is worse. But you know, if we find 50%, you know, look, they've been robbing and ripping off this country for many years, for decades, right? If we find 50% of what's happened, we have a balanced budget without cutting anybody. We have a balanced budget and we'll find it. Minnesota is very corrupt. California is very corrupt. A lot of states are very.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And it's absolutely insane how bad it is. Brandon Gill talking to Benny Johnson about the the Somali population again. Somalia, I can say it now. The meth lab trailer park of the world is the armpit of the world. It's like the fat fold that you haven't watched for decades. Part of the world. What's most astounding is I asked him, do you know what percentage of somal Somali immigrants in Minnesota are on welfare even after being in the United States for 10 years? So you could say, okay, they came into the United States, they needed to get on their feet. I don't they were tired and poor and hungry by that argument, to be clear. But maybe somebody could say that. Well, 78% of Somali immigrants, again even after being in the US for 10 years, are on welfare. I mean, that is astounding. In other words, it's like having millions of your adult sons living in your basement without paying rent for years. Not living the American dream, self sufficient. They're here because you can get free stuff. Yeah, and that's a problem for the American. They, every one of them should be booted out. Everybody's still on welfare. Every one of them that lied and said their kids were had autism to get the free autism money, they all need to go back to Somalia. Make Somalia great. I won't say again because it's always sucked. It's always been the armpit of the world. This is Josh Holly talking to a gentleman named Heywood Talcove. Hey, Wood Talco, that's, that's a fantastic name. About, about all the fraud and, and you know, you know, I told you years ago, we're gonna find out that our country was more corrupt than the Soviet Union ever dreamed of being. They used to be the people we made fun of. Soviet Union. We used to make fun of them. We were the guys in the white hats. They were the guys in the black cats. We are the black hats. We are corrupt beyond belief. It's led by the Democrat Party, but there are a whole lot of Republicans who are worth tens of millions. Oh, there's a Mitch, Mitch McConnell. He's worth like $30 million, making 174 grand a year. Whole bunch of them. That's why they moved to D.C. and spend their entire lives telling us how to live ours. Here's Josh Holly and Heywood Telco. A trillion dollars nationally. Where's this money going to? I appreciate a trillion dollars in fraud a year. That's how much minimum. And it's probably more than that, that.
Heywood Talcove
Question, because most people don't ask that question. It goes to terrorism. It goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs.
Rob Carson
Told you we were more corrupt than the Soviet Union.
Heywood Talcove
It goes to terrorism. And then it's used to purchase luxury items. Cars, purses, homes. That's all funded by people like me that pay taxes.
Rob Carson
So it's. You're telling me that the electrician who goes to every day and clocks in and works his butt off and tries to earn just enough to be able to, you know, make his rent, maybe have a kid or two, put food on the table, his tax money is being used to Buy other people luxury items, cars, yachts, whatever else. And is going to fund terrorism and child trafficking.
Heywood Talcove
Yes, sir.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And they open up daycare centers that don't have any kids and they drive Bentley's into work and never open them up. How do they do it though? A trillion dollars a year on this stuff.
Heywood Talcove
$115 million an hour.
Rob Carson
$115 million an hour. How do they get in their hands on it?
Heywood Talcove
They take advantage of antiquated government systems and processes. They go into programs that they know elected and appointed officials won't touch and they can steal at scale. And what happened really was during the pandemic, between the PPP loans and the unemployment, they learned a really valuable lesson. Government never runs out of money. And the probability of getting caught is virtually zero. I have it at 1/10 of 1%.
Rob Carson
You should be pissed beyond belief. I'm just gonna be honest because I am. What can be done?
Heywood Talcove
Front end identity verification. I just don't get to say that's racist. Am who?
Rob Carson
And sexist say I am.
Heywood Talcove
Second, recertification of all the recipients. There is so much fraud right now in the benefit programs all across the country. We need to get a baseline. Third is this notion of a third party independent audit. And finally is involving federal law enforcement like the Secret Service to investigate it. The thing that people don't understand is that most of these beneficiaries, Senator, they're not real, they're fake. They're someone's stolen identity that is getting used in all 50 states.
Rob Carson
You forgot number four, which is some of these pastors need to go to jail. And this includes people like Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison and Elon Omar. People have got to go to jail. Are you listening to me? D.C. literally, you're right across the river from me. Some people have got to start going to jail. You cannot just get away with stealing billions, trillions and trillions of dollars and nobody goes to jail. Enough is enough. We were robbed in our house. It's time that you did something about it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Theo Wall joins us next. Don't go anywhere. Let me share Brian's story from Alabama. He tells us about relief factor. Trying it for just three weeks. At least 90% of my pain was gone. My pain had started to limit me at work and at home. And I'm amazed at the relief I've gotten. Those are Brian's own words and they speak volumes about what relief factor can do. I've seen that kind of transformation myself. And hearing Brian's experience just reinforces why I'm so passionate about sharing this with you all. Don't wait. If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you. Call 800 for relief. That's 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? Come on, feet, stop moving. Got to get me there. It is a Rob Carson show on a Wednesday. It's already the 11th of February. Joining us on the News Newsmax hotline is Theo Walt, former assistant attorney general, former White House deputy assistant for domestic policy. There are a lot of things domestically going on. Theo, welcome to the show. How you doing today, my friend?
Theo Walz
I'm doing well, Rob. Thanks for having me on.
Rob Carson
Absolutely. There's a lot of things happening right now on Capitol Hill, Pam. Bonnie's going through another filibuster session with, with the Democrat Congress. But we are getting good news domestically on on President Trump's agenda, good news on the economy. Did you ever notice, Theo, that whenever it's good news for Donald Trump, it's better than expected?
Theo Walz
It's a consistent theme over the last eight years. Right. I mean, not only is it the case that when President Trump starts to put up verifiable objective wins, do people say, wow, it's exactly as the president described. But we also see that trend that's now become something of a meme among the younger generations where they say, you know, everything that President Trump predicts turns out to be true. And it's true, as you noted, with the economy, I mean, the Biden administration was shedding jobs on almost a weekly basis. The jobs reports, as we now know, were manipulated by their Department of Labor to hide how significant the hit to the US Economy really was under President Biden. And now we're at a point here where President Trump has not only reversed trend, but the economy is once again booming. And he said this would be the case when he was campaigning and now we're seeing it in real time.
Rob Carson
Well, the thing is he's doing exactly what you need to do to make the economy work. I mean, right. I mean, it does, does it take a genius? I mean, I said that if you, if you deal deregulate and lower taxes and steal the border and lower the price of energy, guess what's going to happen? I mean, really do. I might. I think I just might. I might have a doctorate in economics. If you look at like msnbc, I swear to God.
Theo Walz
Right, yeah, no, that's right. You're right. It's not rocket science. And it's also that additional component in the list that you just gave would be actually putting Americans back to work, right? Putting American citizens to work and giving them an opportunity to rebuild their own country. So returning, providing those incentives to return manufacturing jobs to the United States, to rebuild the defense industrial base in the Midwest. All of that is happening on steroids under President Trump. And it turns out when Americans have productive opportunities in the workforce, they excel at it and they make more money for their communities, they make more money for US Companies. It's not rocket science, but somehow the Democrats have missed this for the past 40 years.
Rob Carson
Well, so have Republicans. Okay? Because I remember and I was greatly, I was greatly offended when George W. Bush said that there are some jobs Americans won't do this as probably hundreds of thousands of farmers were knee deep in bull and other feces feeding their anim. Really, really, really? President, there's jobs some Americans won't do. There's never been a job Americans won't do. There are jobs that elites won't do. Democrats, for instance, won't pick lettuce, but they expect brown people to do it. I mean, I've always thought it was an insult. And then on top of all that, you had, you had Barack Obama who said that, you know, I don't know I would get manufacturers come back here, you know. Cause I can't wave a magic wand, you know. So they said that there are jobs Americans won't do. Then they offshored our manufacturing like we wouldn't build st thinking that because they're snotty academics who shop at Whole Foods and they would never consider working in assembly line, that it isn't rewarding work for people who want to do the building.
Theo Walz
That's exactly right, Rob. As a child of a working class family, if I had a dollar for every time a member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, told me there are jobs that Americans won't do, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. I'd be on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean. It was just before President Trump, that was just the mantra. The mantra was we have to import low skill, high skilled labor and we have to send these jobs in the forms of heavy manufacturing, technological development, whatever it may be to the smart people in Mumbai or Shanghai. And it turns out, you know, I say this often, but we're living in a world that was built by American innovation and American ingenuity and it wasn't American graduates of Harvard or highly credentialed Americans. It was working class people who made the radio, the television, the automobile, silicon chips, the radio, the transistor. All of it developed through the ingenuity of working class American people. And we built the previous century. We'll build this one as well. And I think that's the genius of the Trump administration's economic policy, is just to get those obstacles, as you noted, the regulatory obstacles, the legal impediments, the trade impediments, get those out of the way of the American people so they can get back to work and be productive.
Rob Carson
Well, one of the things that I guess tomorrow Zelda is going to unveil regulatory recall that could save American manufacturers $1.5 trillion. I mean, I can't think of any business that goes, you know, I really want the government to regulate me more and make it more difficult for me to make a living. Honestly, it's just so utterly ridiculous.
Theo Walz
And couple what, what Zelda is doing at EPA with the lived reality that we're seeing now on the ground in places like California, New York, where anyone who is engaged in skilled trades, anyone who has a portable business model that can be moved, so a rock quarry is not going to leave California, but everything else that supplies the technology, the heavy equipment to the rock quarry, that's getting out of California. So the heavily regulated blue states, states are the signpost of the dead end that the Democrat and as you noted earlier, the Republican view of the micromanaging the economy the last 40 years, that's a cul de sac. And all the growth in the country are in deregulated places like Idaho, Texas, Arizona. That's where, that's where the economy is booming, because people realize capital follows the opportunity. And the opportunity isn't decided by centralized planners. It's American businessmen, and they're hardworking employees who are putting their nose to the grindstone every day, growing the economy.
Rob Carson
You know, I was watching the other day, I'm not sure who the influencer was, but he was in New York City asking these young, mindless morons who've not done anything with their lives. And I'm not just talking about the mayor, but people saying, you know, what happens when the billionaires and the millionaires move their businesses out of New York? And this one guy said, well, we'll just overtake the businesses and run them ourselves.
Theo Walz
Yeah, they had a similar thesis about that in Mao's revolution in China. And I think millions of people starved. But yeah, look, I mean, the Mayor is emblematic of this entire class of people. I don't know. You know, the clip has now gone viral, but I've never seen anyone, young or old use a shovel the way the mayor was using it the other day because, you know, quote unquote, clear snow. But it's clear the man's never done an actual hour of hard work in any way, even raking lease in his life. So if those are the people who are going to be building the New York of the future, we're definitely in trouble.
Rob Carson
Well, I like to say it's a combination of Animal Farm meets Lord of the Flies. And I think that's a perfect analogy. It's a perfect analogy. I mean, it is Lord of the Flies. It's like. Okay, okay, listen, we're getting rid of the bus driver kids and we got first through seventh graders here. Let's go ahead and give the first grader the keys and allow them to drive. And hang on, kids. It's. Everything's going to be fine. Right? That's exactly what's going on.
Theo Walz
Well, it's exactly right. And it's across the board. It's on housing, it's on transit policy, it's on. On the regulation of Wall street and the financial firms, they are breaking things that they don't understand. And the real people who will be hurt in places like New York, and obviously the Democrat Socialists of America unveiled their agenda for Los Angeles this week as well, you know, announcing similar policies to what Mamdani is already unveiling in New York. And the real people who are going to be hurt by these policies are working Americans.
Rob Carson
The next step is going to be. The next step is going to be walling it off and then bringing in Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken to run the joint. That's what's going to happen. Listen, Theo, could you hold on? I got a few other things I want to cover on the other side of the break, if you can. Do you mind?
Theo Walz
Yeah, no, I'll stay with you.
Rob Carson
Let's take a break and come back. 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. Refresh your wardrobe with Quince.

Caroline Levitt
You don't tell me.
Rob Carson
Oh, I did tell you because we saw what you did in the Senate.
Theo Walz
Not even a lawyer.
Rob Carson
Many will be in order. That is Pam Bondi calling Jamie rascal. Raskin. Sorry, I always get that name mixed up. A washed up loser lawyer. Not even a lawyer here. Bravo Pam Bondi. The Democrats strategy for all of these hearings is to just filibuster, shout over the Republicans, not allow them to get a word in edgewise literally and then, and then claim some sort of victory. And it's, I think it's backfiring. I think they look like complete tools. They did it yesterday with, with ice. They're doing it today with Pam Bundy and I, I think it's backfiring. What do you think Theo Wall did?
Theo Walz
Yeah, I couldn't agree more, Rob. I think there was a moment here for Democrats to appear sober minded. And you know, this is what they executed to such great success in 2008, you know, that they were, that they were mature and responsible and prepared to govern and they just look like a bunch of imbeciles, a bunch of fools. And I was really proud. I know Director Lyons and Director Edloe, some of the folks who testified yesterday, I was really proud to see former colleagues and friends not just do so well, but really take the fight right back to the Democrats. You know, when Director Lyons was asked by Eric Swalwell to would he resign from office, not only did he reject the request outright but then corrected swallow on the basic facts of some of these, you know, high profile detention cases that Democrats want to turn into their cause celeb. And I thought, thought everyone in these Oversight hearings on the administration side has really performed not just well, but they have done great. Credit to the President's judgment and putting them in.
Rob Carson
Listen to Lamonica McIver, who, by the way, is currently, I guess, you know, charged with attacking an ISO. Yet listen to this morning.
Caroline Levitt
Let me ask you some questions that.
Rob Carson
You may ask you a question that's a. That's a good start for a member of Congress. For God's sake, be able to answer.
Caroline Levitt
Mr. Lyons, do you consider yourself a religious man?
Rob Carson
Yes, ma'. Am.
Theo Walz
Oh, yes.
Rob Carson
Okay.
Caroline Levitt
Well, how do you think Judgment Day.
Rob Carson
Will work for you with so much.
Theo Walz
Blood on your hands?
Rob Carson
I'm not gonna entertain that question.
Caroline Levitt
Oh, okay.
Theo Walz
Of course not. Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?
Rob Carson
Oh, my God, this is like kindergarten roundup. I swear to God, Theo. I mean, how outrageously stupid.
Theo Walz
Well, and look, it's the same, you know, attack line that they ran against Amy Coney Barrett during her confirmation hearings. You know, the Democr Democrats, as rabid secularists, want to apply religious tests to everyone except for themselves. And the Barrett context we saw then, people, average working class Americans, find this kind of stuff disgusting. They don't want Corrupt politicians in D.C. essentially applying religious litmus tests to their leaders. That's for the pastor in the pulpit to make that assessment, or a spiritual director in the confessional. And Todd Lyons, again, I thought he handled it quite well. I thought he sent this stuff, this kind of messaging, right in the place where it belongs, is in the toilet.
Rob Carson
Listen, the Democrat Cohen talking about, he says they were executed like Christy Gnome executed her dog. I. This is real. The fact is, ICE is running rampant and you are not investigating them. When they killed Mr. Pretty and, and. And Ms. Good, that was an execution, and you did not investigate it. And you tried to investigate her. Ms. Good's widow, and you tried to investigate Mr. Preddy. They were executed. Like Kristi Gnome executed her dog. Oh, my God, that is such a stretch.
Theo Walz
Hey, you know, Rob, some staffer in Cohen's office thought that was a great line. They, they. They chuckled and they probably thought that was genius.
Rob Carson
Would you. I grew up on a farm. I grew up on a farm. And if you've got a dog that is dying and you're 150 miles from a vet, that you're going to have to go in the animal's misery. That's what happened. I mean, wow. Just wow. I like to say, Theo, I've been saying that the Democrat Party is doing a death spiral into hell. And I say that Democrats are dying like movie vampires. They are dragging, kicking and screaming, trying to drag us in hell with them. And I mean, it really is becoming very apparent. It's getting so outrageous and so over the top. I really do believe that the country is splintering. 8020 on all issues. 80% love the country, want to keep the country. And now the Democrat Party Party, the only people who are espousing not, you know, no, no voter id, are only the Democrats and some Republicans in power. And the only reason they're doing is because they want to keep enriching themselves and keep the dream gravy train growing, you know, going to the tune of now trillions of dollars a year.
Theo Walz
Yeah, I mean, look, this aspect about the base of the Democrat Party's power in Congress as sort of being entirely built on mass illegal immigration and the allotment of electoral votes. That's all true. But the other part of the equation, as you just mentioned, Rob, is the flow of federal funds. Apportionment in Congress not only is political power, but apportionment also determines the kinds of block grants that the federal funding that various agencies and departments can send to states. So they're fighting like hell because. Because not only is it their base of power electorally, but the only way they keep this splintered coalition that they run of LGBTQ and, you know, conservative Muslim immigrants and black machine politics, the only way they keep all of those elements together is by doling out money like what we've seen in Minneapolis. Fraud was central to the Democratic Party in Minnesota because the fraud kept all of the rent seeking constituency groups happy. The moment the money goes away, the Democrat Party implodes.
Rob Carson
This is a house built on a foundation of sand and there's no saving it. It's like the regime in Iran at this point. The Democrat Party is melting down. There's no way that it's going to survive this. I believe this. There's no way they can rebuild on this after all that has been exposed. And it's only downhill from here. And I said years ago, I said the only way Democrat Party could save itself is to reinvent itself or it will disappear into the dustbin of history. And right now, it's leading into the dustbin. Theo, I've enjoyed the conversation, brother. Love to have you on again to talk about all of these things. Where can people find all of your, your work and your presence online?
Theo Walz
Just check me out at Real Steelworld on X Instagram, Facebook and I put, I post all the things I'm publishing various outlets there and happy to engage. Thanks for having me on, Rob.
Rob Carson
I appreciate having you on, Theo. Take care of yourself. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Caroline Levitt
How much we've been collecting in revenues. And I did this in, in part because Wilfred's here and he can talk about the UK trade deal, but just this is the monthly numbers and they have gone up a lot. June is actually set for another big increase of 27 billion. That is money coming into US coffers from tariffs. We are collecting a lot of revenue so far, guys. $121 billion has flowed into the US government since the start of the fiscal year. It's still a tiny portion of the overall revenues that the US Government gets. But it's increasingly a lot.
Rob Carson
That is increasingly a lot. That is CNBC talking about all of the winning that the Trump administration is doing that they promised was going to happen if they did what they are doing. I know, I know. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. And you know, they're discovering, they're discovering that if you could get rid of all of the fraud. I saw the, this piece the other day. If you could get rid of all of the fraud right now and rely on the tariff revenue that's coming in, the federal budget would only need $900 billion in income. And people making less than $500,000 would not have to pay income tax. That's how upside down our country is right now. That's how upside down the, the country is right now. And the Democrat Party, like I said, they're going off the rails. They're completely, you know, off their nut. And, and I don't think there's rebuilding on this like this, this testimony today with Pam Body. They look like morons. They defending the fraud, defending the open border, getting rid of the, the voter id. They're exposing themselves as unhinged lunatics. It's not going to work. I saw this here the other day. This is a guy, it's a new em on TikTok black guy. And he's talking about what it's like Democrats versus Republicans as a minority.
TikTok Influencer
I made two separate videos before the election. One of the videos said I was gonna vote for Kamala Harris. The other video said I was gonna vote for Donald Trump. And I just wanted to see the mixed reactions from people and how people would react because I do a lot of work from my hometown, do a lot of work for my community. I work with young boys and I never said who I was voting for, but I made those two videos because I want to show people how they are in reality. I made the Donald Trump video and I made the Kamala Harris video. Under the Kamala Harris video, you definitely had some Trump supporters like, well, we understand that you may have a different opinion or whatever, but we still support what you do. Maybe you'll wake up one day, etc.
Theo Walz
Etc.
TikTok Influencer
You know, things like that. It wasn't nothing vile with no bad comments or nothing. I made the Donald Trump video. I got people to unfollow me. I got people saying they can't support nothing I do no more. I got folk calling me all types of names, et cetera, et cetera.
Rob Carson
That is your Democrat Party right there. In a nutshell, the Democrat Party is unhinged, corrupt and, and insane. It's not going to bode well for them. And if you think they're going to suddenly rally, people are going to rally around this in the midterms. You're smoking some serious weed. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Date: February 11, 2026
Host: Rob Carson
Guests: Caroline Levitt, Theo Walz
This episode dives into current political controversies with Rob Carson's signature blend of humor and sharp critique. The main themes include the ongoing battles over White House invitations, deregulation, immigration enforcement, voter ID laws, governmental fraud, and the shifting political landscape. Special guests Caroline Levitt (White House Press Secretary) and Theo Walz (former Assistant Attorney General) join Rob to discuss President Trump's latest actions, Democratic opposition, and the uneasy tension within American governance and culture.
"He's too unlikable and too corrupt. He's an awful human being... will never be the President of the United States ever, ever, ever, ever." — Rob Carson (02:00)
"The President has the discretion to invite whomever he wants to the White House and he welcomes all those who received an invitation to come." — Caroline Levitt (03:54)
"If you get invited to Donald Trump's house for dinner, you probably want to go because it's kind of a big deal... But because he was not invited this year, because he turned him down last year, suddenly Donald Trump's a racist. Do you understand what I'm trying to say here? It's so stupid and ridiculous." — Rob Carson (04:06)
"The bulk of the savings will stem from reduced costs for new vehicles... average per vehicle savings of more than $2,400 for popular light duty cars, SUVs and trucks." — Caroline Levitt (04:49)
"Regulations and taxes are what kill businesses. That's why so many Democrat states are bleeding their population because they have so much more taxes and regulation." — Rob Carson (05:30)
"Any illegal alien present in this country is subject to deportation... the priority of course is going after the convicted criminals, the worst of the worst... Interestingly, what the Democrat talking heads... are not saying is: nearly 60% ... have had criminal charges or convictions." — Caroline Levitt (06:43)
"Just because a crime is not violent in nature doesn't mean that crime is victimless." — Caroline Levitt (07:41)
"Because they illegally broke our nation's laws and therefore they are criminals." — Caroline Levitt (08:25)
"We want people to have voter id. We want people have proof of citizenship and we want to have no mail in ballots other than if you're in the military or you're sick or you're away or some reasonable but good excuse." — Donald Trump (10:24)
"You need an ID to get a passport and board an airplane and purchase a car... It is absurd. It is ridiculous and stupid." — Rob Carson (12:10)
"The whole point of the democracy is to make it possible for people to vote because it's the people who get to decide the policies." — Rebecca Bellet via Caroline Levitt (12:52) "My daughter is 20 years old. She's had an ID since she was 16." — Rob Carson (13:16)
"A trillion dollars in fraud a year. That's how much minimum. And it's probably more than that." — Heywood Talcove (17:26) "They take advantage of antiquated government systems... and steal at scale. The government never runs out of money. And the probability of getting caught is virtually zero." — Heywood Talcove (18:30)
"Some people have got to start going to jail. You cannot just get away with stealing billions, trillions and trillions of dollars and nobody goes to jail. Enough is enough." — Rob Carson (19:55)
"The Biden administration was shedding jobs on almost a weekly basis. The jobs reports, as we now know, were manipulated by their Department of Labor to hide how significant the hit to the US Economy really was..." — Theo Walz (22:15)
"There's never been a job Americans won't do. There are jobs that elites won't do. Democrats, for instance, won't pick lettuce, but they expect brown people to do it." — Rob Carson (24:12) "We’re living in a world that was built by American innovation and American ingenuity ... working class people who made the radio, the television, the automobile, silicon chips, the radio, the transistor." — Theo Walz (25:13)
"The Democrats strategy for all of these hearings is to just filibuster, shout over the Republicans, not allow them to get a word in edgewise literally and then, and then claim some sort of victory." — Rob Carson (31:56) "They just look like a bunch of imbeciles, a bunch of fools." — Theo Walz (32:33)
"Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?" — Caroline Levitt (34:11)
"So far, guys. $121 billion has flowed into the US government since the start of the fiscal year... It's increasingly a lot." — Caroline Levitt (38:39)
"If you could get rid of all of the fraud right now and rely on the tariff revenue... the federal budget would only need $900 billion in income. And people making less than $500,000 would not have to pay income tax." — Rob Carson (39:12)
On Party Survival:
"I like to say, Theo, I've been saying that the Democrat Party is doing a death spiral into hell. And I say that Democrats are dying like movie vampires. They are dragging, kicking and screaming, trying to drag us in hell with them." — Rob Carson (35:01 & 36:40)
On Public Perceptions and Divisions:
"Listen to this guy on TikTok... Under the Kamala Harris video, you definitely had some Trump supporters like, well, we understand that you may have a different opinion... I made the Donald Trump video. I got people to unfollow me. I got people saying they can't support nothing I do no more. I got folk calling me all types of names..." — TikTok Influencer (40:39)
On Congressional Entitlement and Corruption:
"We have a bourgeois, we have a proletariat. We get the crumbs and they feast... They're the ones who are suddenly worth tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of dollars in Congress. And it's your money. They're living high on the hog while we suffer." — Rob Carson (10:53)
Rob Carson’s blend of satire and outrage is on full display as he dissects the day’s headlines, questions Democratic strategy, champions Trump administration successes, and decries what he calls a “death spiral” on the left. With smart, combative guests like Caroline Levitt and Theo Walz, the show roams from policy weeds to broad cultural commentary, punctuated by parodies, biting analogies, and a mix of populist frustration and hope for American renewal.
