1. Church Protest in St. Paul: “Crossed the Line”

00:21–02:05

2. Government Aid & Fraud: Somalia, California, and Minnesota

Transcript

[Rob Carson]

Hold it. Now.

[Benny Johnson]

You are about to hear the.

[Jim Gossett]

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]

Tell us why you're doing this.

This is Operation Pull up, more of a clandestine operation. We show up somewhere that is a key location. They don't expect us to come. We disrupt business as usual. So that's what we're about to go do right now. Demanding justice for Renee.

Good.

And letting them know that this will not stand. They cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our.

You have just awakened millions of Christian soldiers. What this group in St. Paul, Minnesota did yesterday by invading a sanctuary of a Christian church and terrifying its members was the line. And Don Lemon was there not to report it as a journalist, but to support it actively. And he's gonna go to friggin jail for it. And I'll tell you what. I'm done with this nonsense. It is about time for homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews to do something about this. And if that crap comes to your congregation, you better be ready for it. You better be ready to drive the bastards right the hell out. This is unacceptable. It cannot happen. And you have crossed a line. You've crossed a line with your temper tantrum. We are done with your nonsense. You killed Charlie Kirk last year and you have awakened a sleeping giant. And we are a kind and benevolent people, we Christians. But at the same time, if you bleep around with us, you are going to find out. This is brand new from Jim Gossett on the Rob Carson Show.

[Jim Gossett]

There was a riot at a church where protesters stormed in. They did it in the house of God, and clearly it was a sin. Don Lemon, he was there, part of the angry mob. This is why he'll never get a job. Lemon, he should be arrested. What he did was a crime. Lemon should be convicted. Don Lemon should do time. Lemon should be handcuffed, fingerprinted, and then booked. Lemon, he's in trouble. You could say his goose is cooked. Lemon, he's very bitter. CNN showed him the door because, like Jeffrey Toob and couldn't handle it no more.

[Rob Carson]

Well, he did handle it. Unfortunately, he got in trouble and caught handling it. There you go. That is brand new from Jim Gossett. He did that this morning. So he did three songs today. That's how brilliant Jim Gossett is right there. But back to the. Back to the subject at hand. Christians fought the revolutionary war. Okay, A lot of Christians, most Christians fought all the battles in World War II for America. Okay? A lot of Christians fought in the civil war to end slavery. You don't want to mess with us. And I tell you what, this cannot stand. You walking into a church. You owe my God in heaven. See, they die like movie vampires. And now they're. Now they're going into the. To the. The church. You know, kind of. You've seen those movies where Satan goes into the church, tries to take over the church. That's what happened here with Don Lemon being a part of it. I got to tell you, I hope the weight of the federal law enforcement community comes down on these who did this. This cannot happen. This has to end. This has to end. Swear to God in heaven. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. This is pretty interesting. State Department is ending aid to Somalia after a warehouse of food disappears.

[Jim Gossett]

Really?

[Rob Carson]

In Somalia? Really? Fraud in Somalia? No way. Really? Yeah, because it's the meth lab trailer park of the world. And a lot of the people who leave Somalia are exactly what you'd think they'd be, you know, dependent. And a lot of them being shysters and just stealing. Stealing is what they've done across this country. A good share of them. A good share of them. 85% plus on some sort of welfare in Minneapolis, hundreds of daycare centers, hundreds of transportation companies, hundreds of now hospice agencies, all fraudulent across the country, many of them Somalian, but all of them Democrats. Corrupt contracts led to 76 tons of US aid going missing and 1650 more tons imperiled. This is from Luke Rosiak for the Daily Wire. So Marco Rubio said, guess what? You're not getting any more friggin aid. Good job, losers. Honestly, screw Somalia. You figure it out on your own. Yan Yon. Those are my favorite two favorite words when it comes to Democrats, when it comes to people like Zoran Mandami. Yan yo yon yon man, go ahead, do what you got to do there. But yon yon, we're going to help you. We're not going to help you. It is a ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous. And there is a fraud that is so rampant, it's just disgusting. This is Benny Johnson. Benny Johnson has been doing a great job. I had a chance to meet Benn a couple years ago. He used to have a TV show on Newsmax. And I met him at the Newsmax Christmas party. And he is just. He is shining. He is the template for, I guess, journalism to some degree. He's doing a great job. Nick Shirley, obviously doing a great Job. But here's Benny. Benny was out in California, by the way. He was out in California and he decided to go to an address where there are 26 voters registered to vote. Yo, what's up, guys?

[Benny Johnson]

We're outside of a very important place here in California. You'll see it's just home to a porta John and a giant empty parking lot.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Benny Johnson]

But inside of this empty parking lot.

[Rob Carson]

There'S a Porta Potty. Just a porta potty with 26 registered voters.

[Benny Johnson]

Something really important in the state of California. You can see here we have registered voters. 26 registered voters for this exact location.

[Rob Carson]

Must be a crowded Porta Potty.

[Benny Johnson]

100 Sunset Avenue in Venice. 26 registered voters.

[Guest Commentator]

Right here.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I'll tell you, do you think the Democrats are going to win the midterms? You are smoking some seriously good weed. Here. Is Benny Johnson talking about another thing? By the way, Gavin Newsom is never going to be the president. He's never going to be the president. He's being exposed as the most corrupt and really actually evil human being that we've seen in power for a very long time. He's like the joker here. He is talking about the homeless industrial comple flex out there.

[Benny Johnson]

We have truly uncovered some major bombshells that will lead to federal investigations of fraud here in this state. Some of them are already ongoing and you got to run the numbers. 24 billion.

[Guest Commentator]

Yeah.

[Benny Johnson]

Well, wait a second. That means $170,000 is being spent per homeless person in this state. Where I'm from, Trace, that's the price of a house. You could just buy a home for every homeless person. So something's happening here, and we call it the homeless industrial complex. There is an ecosystem built in state in order to profit from non profits. And that's precisely what is happening. The homelessness problem in the state is not really a problem for people that are making money off of it.

[Rob Carson]

And yeah, and they keep them dependent and they keep drug addicts, addicts addicted because they, they want to keep them addicted barely alive. So these agencies can, you know, do things. Like they did this thing the other day I was reading about where they. They give alcoholics a shot of booze every day or a couple shots of booze every day just to keep them addicted and alive in California. Remarkable. Remarkable. Then there's the hospice industrial complex. Republicans sounding alarm of what they describe as a sprawling web of fraud, waste and abuse embedded across California's health care and welfare systems. And exposure, they argue, could rival or surpass any public Corruption in any other state, including Minnesota. There's a number of hospice providers in the country has exploded nearly sevenfold in a short period of time. An anomaly they say is impossible to explain without systematic abuse. This is on Wall Street, Apes. They sent this to check out a building that was just full, full, full of all these hospice offices where you go, you send your relatives, or you go when you're about ready to, you know, kick the bucket.

[Guest Commentator]

Numbers weren't working to be paged in, but look at what this. All right, you guys. So I had to actually get my way in here because the numbers weren't working to be paged in. But look at what this is uncovering. Hospice. Hospice Home Health Care. Allegiance Home Health. Honeywell Home Health. Wellspring Home Health. Golden Touch Home Health. Amazing Health Dignity Care Hospice Moonlight Hospice Incorporated. Thousand Oaks Hospice Incorporated. Premier Home Care Agency, Altruistic Hospice Incorporated. Capital Hospice Care Incorporated. Some of those don't even have signs on their doors. And the ones that did weren't answering or.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's Dr. Oz about California. Oh, I got to tell you again, if you think Democrats are going to win the midterms just because it's the midterms, listen to Dr. Oz.

[Guest Commentator]

And here's the hard part to fathom. I don't want everyone to take a deep breath. Now, Minnesota, which is cold this time of year, is just the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, I think what we're seeing in Minnesota, which is billions of dollars of fraud that hurts our most vulnerable people and puts them at risk because you steal not only their money, but you can steal their lives by putting them at risk for bad services provided at the wrong time that actually take away opportunities for others to get treatment. But what we're seeing in Minnesota is the tip of the iceberg because it is dwarfed by what I saw in California, which is wholesale cultural malfeasance around health care. There is a acceptance that you need to be in the fraud business, especially in Los Angeles, and the magnitude of fraud that we believe is approximating $4 billion just in hospice and home health care.

[Rob Carson]

I had no idea. I knew that there was a lot of malfeasance going to be uncovered when Donald Trump became the president. But now we know why these Democrat governors are so desperate to keep law enforcement ICE out these states. Even old Gavin Newsom this weekend said that that ice was stoking civil war. A civil war.

[Guest Commentator]

And in the ensuing months, we've seen BORTAC teams, people dressed up, tactical gear, Apache helicopters descending street Patchy helicopters all across America. Mass men.

[Rob Carson]

Sure.

[Guest Commentator]

Without providing identification. And we're in court on that.

[Rob Carson]

It's right there on the badge.

[Guest Commentator]

Tried to sign the first anti masking bill in this country. He has tried to.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, Gabby, Gabby Blue. I want you to go to jail too. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Guest Commentator]

What's happening right now is the ICE agents are the ones breaking the law, not the peaceful protesters. So I believe we should not be funding an ice age.

[Rob Carson]

What he just said is completely, absolutely, insanely wrong. I mean, honestly, they're actually. This is. See, this is what happens when you try to cover up something. This is what the Democrat party is trying to cover up because they know that their house of cards is collapsing, collapsing, collapsing. Right now. Fraud and deception and vote theft, et cetera, are being exposed massively around the country. And the more that law enforcement comes in to get rid of illegals and the more that law enforcement comes in to raid these agencies that have been lying about being home health care, lying about being, you know, feeding kids and whatnot, it turns out that we're gonna trillions of dollars in spending stolen. They looted our national treasury for at least the last decade, if not more. And Democrats know exactly, they know exactly what this is all about. And as I have said before, they have a de facto civil war with soldiers for hire. Get out. Yeah, I'm about done with it. I was done with it a week ago when they raided the church yesterday. Now I'm really freaking done with it. This is an ICE agent driving by a bunch of these morons. And in these Karens, these, these insane leftist Karens, these white women who are off their net. They're awfuls, by the way. Affluent white female urban liberals. They're mentally ill. You know, if they went to the Humane Society to adopt a bunch of cats, the Human Society say, we're not going to adopt cats to you because you're freaking out of your freaking mind. So no more cats for you. You're too crazy to be a crazy cat lady. Here is a nice agent confronting them. Yo, here's what I'm here for.

[Guest Commentator]

We're here to arrest a child sex offender and you guys are out here honking.

[Rob Carson]

No, we're pressing.

[Guest Commentator]

That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child sex offender. That's who you guys are protecting.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, but we can reform him. He's like Luigi Mancione. I gotta tell you, you women need some Help. Yeah, I called you, you women. Yeah, yeah, he's that sexist. You guys are just nuts. Not all you women. I love me some women. By God in heaven, I love me some women. But not liberal crazy cat ladies because they're out or not. Hey, by the way, there's a liberal crazy cat lady now in the governor's office in. In Virginia. You know, I might have to start looking at West Virginia wild and wonderful. And her first executive order was to have local law enforcement not cooperate with Federal officials on ice.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

And this executive order rescinds executive order number 47.

[Rob Carson]

State and local law enforcement should not.

[Guest Commentator]

Be required to divert their limited resources to enforce federal civil immigration.

[Rob Carson]

If. If somebody starts a recall petition in the state of Virginia, I will do everything I can to promote it on this radio program nationally to recall that psychotic Karen that they elected in Virginia. That doesn't represent the most of Virginia. I'm a Virginian. I never thought I'd be a Virginian. I lost my Virginia T when I moved here. It was fantastic. It was wonderful. And then, of course, they had to follow it up by, you know, electing Karen over here. So I lost my virginity. And then, I mean, I feel like I've been. I don't. If I had it to do again, I'm not so sure that I would lose my Virginia T. I don't think. Have I. Have I worn out that punchline? It was a pretty good punchline. It just came up with. That notoriously fraudulent New York City health program lost 1.2 billion to scammers and middlemen. Minnesota multiplied by 10. Taking advantage of the generous New York State program. Isn't it run by Democrats? Oh, yeah, it is. Bilal Hossein signed up a dozen family members to work as her caregivers. Over the six years, they were paid almost 400 grand to look after an elderly woman in a Manhattan apartment. The only problem is she lived in Bangladesh. Remember when people would come from other countries with just a few dollars in their pocket and earn a living and live the American dream? No. No. They move here now because Joe Biden allowed so many of them to come across the border and whatnot, be flown directly into the country and loaded them up with all sorts of free crap so he could guarantee their votes. The Democrat evil and needs to be driven into the pits of hell. It was just one egregious example of welfare fraud called the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, or seed, that cost New York taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars of waste and abuse. Lawyer Richard Harlow prosecuted Medicaid fraud in New York for 27 years says if you think Minnesota is a big deal, multiply that by 10. Going to have to start seeing some people go to friggin jail. I want to go to Linda in Ellicott City. Hello, Linda? Well, is she a phone operator? Does Linda work as a phone operator? My God, I've heard her voice before, she's fantastic. If we don't have Linda, that's perfectly fine. But you sure sound like somebody I heard on the phone before there, Linda, if you're the phone lady. So there's that house feds proba to unravel the mystery of how Elon Omar got her skyrocketing wealth. It's not possible. Well, you know, it's because fraud, duh. I mean please give me a frigging break. Squad member Elon OMAR Skyrocketing wealth $9 billion Somali social services fraud scandal exploded and it looks like Representative Jim Comer said staff lawyers are exploring an extraordinary step of subpoenaing Omar's spouse over his alleged shady business. We're going to get to the answers, Jim. You better get on this man. I'm telling you right now. You better get on this crap right fricking now because we're done with it. Republicans want to know how Ilhan Omar and her hubby, their politically collected hubby Tim Minette went from nearly broke to worth $30 million in a year. Well, it's fraud. Duh duh. Investment from Roselyn Capital formed by Minette and a partner Will Haler in 2022. Part of a web of companies created by lefty squad member's husband of five years. Roselyn Capital is worth $42 $42.44 in its bank account in 2022. Now it's worth $30 million. I want to see her friggin arrested. I want to see her tried and sent penniless back to Somalia. She's been bad mouthing our country for years. Wall street insiders say they never heard of Roselake by the way of anyone investing with them, despite the firm boasting on its website they had been running billions of dollars of assets under management and engaging in an array of high end financial activities including deals, mergers and acquisitions. But nobody has ever heard of them. It's weird. And then they got rid of their board of directors names on the website. Just dropped them as soon as they found out that they were being investigated. Isn't that kind of weird? No, it's not. It's crime. It's organized crime. Is what it is. In recent days, the firm has deactivated its LinkedIn page, among other things. There you go. So Elon Omar needs a colonoscopy, a DOJ colonoscopy. And then she needs to be put on trial, indicted, deported, penniless, back to the meth lab trailer park of the world, which of course is Somalia. You know, nobody goes there on vacation. You know why? Because it's the meth lab trailer park of the world. There you go. Walter White wouldn't go there to make meth, for God's sake. We've got the great Brigitte Gabriel to talk about Iran on the other side of the break. Don't go anywhere. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Shopify.

[Jim Gossett]

Relentlessly slowing the spread of the stupid. Every day it's the Rob Carson Show.

[Guest Commentator]

There is a very real possibility that in the next six months the regimes in Iran, in Venezuela and in and Cuba will all fall. There is a real possibility that Iran, Venezuela and Cuba will all democratically elect new leaders. And instead of fomenting violence, fomenting attacks on America, instead of waging war on America, there is a real chance in the next six months that the people of those three countries will elect leaders who embrace freedom and free enterprise and who want to stand with America.

[Rob Carson]

And when the Ayatollah falls, we're going to party like it's 1979. The one and only Brigitte Gabriel, actforamerica.org joins us for the first time in this glorious year of freedom that I predict is going to happen. Hello, Brigitte Gabriel. How Are you today?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Hello, my friend. And happy New Year.

[Rob Carson]

I'll bet you get tired of me texting you and sending you videos saying that the ayatollah is going to fall.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

I love getting your text. We have a good thing going, I swear.

[Rob Carson]

So here's what I think. Donald Trump said, you know, issued a warning to the ayatollah to stop the killing so we could put our forces in place for a kinetic attack and take down the SOB what are your thoughts?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

I think a confrontation with Iran is inevitable at this point. We do have the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier on its way to the Middle East. It will arrive there Wednesday or Thursday of this week. We have our F15s and F16s flying over with their radars on, telling the whole world that we are flying to the Middle East. We are there for the whole world to see. I think the mullahs know what's coming right now. I was watching, you know, the ayatollah today, you know, calling President Trump a criminal. And, you know, all the huffing and puffing, all the positioning, the posturing that he is doing. We are strong. We are going to fight. We are urging all the protesters to turn themselves in this nothing but theater. They know it's coming. We know it's coming. It's a matter of time, so we can prepare to protect our assets as well as our friends in the region, knowing that when we do attack Iran, they will retaliate against our bases in the Middle east and they will retaliate against Israel. So right now, knowing that the attack is going to be expanded, we are working diligently to secure our bases as well as Israel.

[Rob Carson]

But, you know, isn't it remarkable to watch how deliberate that Donald Trump. Donald Trump, the playboy Donald Trump, the media figure. He is so deliberate and so careful when doing these military operations, like what he did, you know, getting Maduro out of Venezuela. He got Maduro out of Venezuela faster than your Uber Eats order would arrive at your house, Brigitte. Right. And that's what he's doing here. He doesn't want a protracted, prolonged war. He's not going to send in massive amounts of forces in and they're going to occupy for 20 years. He's going to be going in, and he's going to give the Iranian people the opportunity to take over the country. And I think that this is precisely what he's going to do.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Exactly. And that's what made him a very successful businessman. It's his strategic thinking. President Trump does not do anything on a whim Everything is strategic, even though it looks to the rest of the world. Oh, my gosh, the guy is unpredictable. He's so spontaneous. He's going to go in and buy. By the time President Trump makes a decision to bomb, he has been thinking about it for months, laying out all the options, discussing it with his advisors, picking up the best strategy, the best attack, the best way to do it, to minimize casualties. And that's exactly what he is doing in Iran, and that's exactly what. Like what he did in Venezuela. And I bet you they are even planning another Cuba operation. Yes, but here's the thing about the way we're doing it with Iran. The reason why we're not jumping immediately on bombing the Iranians is because we want the Iranian people to take the victory, to be proud that they have done it themselves. Yes, they needed a little push and little help from the outside world because the Iranian people are unarmed. But it is their victory to have. It is their joy to take and celebrate. It is their government to recapture. All we are doing is standing there supporting their right to freedom and giving whatever nudge we can from the outside to make their victory possible.

[Rob Carson]

Did you see the women, the young women taking off their hijabs and waving their hair to American rock and roll? How powerful and how amazing. It brought tears to my eyes to see these young women, you know, many of them around my daughter's age, just, you know, celebrating and being brave enough. Can you imagine, to be brave, to show your face like this? Now, you grew up and you went through hell at the hands of radical Islam. What does this mean to you as women and the women of the Middle east and Iran, that the Ayatollah could be falling and freedom could return?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

They want freedom so badly that they are willing to lay their life on the line fighting for what they want. This is courage. You know, Americans, we have never had to fight a war on our homeland. I mean, we were attacked on September 11. Especially for the new generation, they don't even have a recollection of September 11th. You and I remember September 11th. A lot of people under 30 years old, they don't even really remember September 11th. So watching the Iranian women in particular, laying their life on the line and knowing the ramification for their decision, because if they capture you in Iran, it's not just they're going to throw you in jail and make you watch cable and give you free health insurance like we do here in the United States and allow you visitation right there. They're going to rape you. They're going to, to cut your wrists off. They're going to hang you upside down by your feet as you bleed and they're going to torture you so they understand the price that they're going to have to pay for them standing up and speaking up for freedom. They deserve it. We need to stand with them. The whole world needs to stand with them. They are doing the fighting. All we have to do is send a few bombs. We can do that. This is exactly why President Trump is sending the firepower to do strategic attacks just like what we did with the Iranian nuclear sites strategic bombing to take out their ballistic missile, their command center. We do not want to kill civilians. We want to make sure that the population in Iran is safe, that our bases and our population on these bases in the Middle east are safe and minimize casualties as much as possible in Israel because we know that the Iranians are going to retaliate against Israel.

[Rob Carson]

I love the fact that Scott Bessen, our Treasury secretary, said that he is tracking the money leaving Iran by the leaders of the Iranian regime. And he's saying, you know, good luck with that because we're going to stop it. So they are, they are planning, but they're not going to be live rich. They're not going to live rich in the, you know, the Mediterranean or wherever. They're not going to, they're not going to live large when they leave Iran. Brigitte, can you hold on? Because I want to think about, you know, I think you were maybe two in 1979, right? Yeah, pretty much. You were just an infant, just like me. You were an infant. But the profundity of this moment, it is second only to the Berlin Wall. I want to touch on that on the other side of the break, if you don't mind. Sure. Let's take a break and come back.

[Guest Commentator]

There are over a million Iranians that are showing unbelievable courage standing up against this tyrannical regime. And I gotta say, President Trump, I think, has been very strong in telling the regime, number one, we stand with the people. Do not target, do not murder the protesters. Telling the protesters, America stands with you. And I gotta say, just in the last two days, a really important step occurred where President Trump came out unequivocally and said it is time for new leadership in Iran.

[Rob Carson]

And he also said, help is on the way. And if I'm not mistaken, Brigitte Gabriel, when Donald Trump says he's going to do something, he does it.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Exactly. Help is on the way the Iranians know it, the rest of the world knows it, the mullahs know it, and it's just a matter of time.

[Rob Carson]

47 years ago, I remember I was a kid when the Ayatollah came in, thanks to the malfeasance and the idiocy and the incompetence of Jimmy Carter. Not saying the Shah was anything great, but dear God. And so much has happened. Tens of thousands of terrorist attacks. Dead Israelis, dead Americans. A worldwide caliphate using terror as its weapon. And it has gone on and it has gone on and it has gone and on. And we have suffered this. And Brigitte, this is going to be right up there with the Berlin Wall. What happens, what happens across the Middle east, what happens around the world when the Ayatollah is taken out of power?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

This is going to transform the Middle East. That's the most important part. But it's also going to have ramification. And you're going to feel it all throughout the world. And here is why. Remember the radical Islamist. This is the first country since the fall of the Islamic Caliphate back in 1924, when Ataturk ended the Islamic Caliphate. The Islamists never really were able to capture a major country until Iran fell in 1979 when the mullahs took it over and they were able to rule 90 million people in Iran with an iron fist. Not only rule the Iranians, but be able to create such a network of terror through its proxies all throughout the world. You take, for example, Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah has operation centers, has committed terrorist attacks on four continents across the world. So Iran basically, by extension, has committed terrorist attacks on four continents across the world. Hezbollah, for example, has its command center in Venezuela. You know, there's a reason why Venezuela was such a strategic place where we needed to take out Maduro, because Venezuela and Iran are basically Drug Inc. Where they were able to sell the drugs in order to fund the terror infrastructure. So by Iran falling, by the Iranians taking control of their country, we're going to see the Abraham Accord come to. You're going to see the Saudis sign the Abraham Accord. You're going to see the Iranians join it, the Syrians join it. Lebanon will join it. It will transform the Middle east. And because of that, we will be able to divert our military power. We no longer need to focus on the Middle east as much. Remember, the only reason we built the military base in Qatar is basically because of Iran. When Iran is free, we will be able to take all the that military might and start focusing on other parts of the world, making sure China doesn't take Taiwan, making sure there is world and stability in the Arctic. So Iran is a very strategic point. Once Iran falls and it is free, we're going to see the reverberation of that freedom affect every country in the world.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And I'm seeing also in, in some countries and they're saying that there are people in Iran who will live peacefully and productively with the Jews. And I think that is gigantic. And Donald Trump has been playing this 3D chess. It is such a brilliant thing. From bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to intercepting their tankers, cutting off their oil supply, cutting off Venezuela. I mean, it is a master class in how to make evil regimes fall, isn't it?

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Oh, absolutely. And look when you look at Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah, his daughter married into a Jewish family. So they are blood relatives. So you see the. Right now the Israelis are basically the only country standing and cheering with the Iranians. You know, you don't hear a beep out of the Women now movement in the United States. Where are all these lefty women's rights organizations?

[Rob Carson]

I know. Where are all the pro. No, wait a minute. Where are all the pro Iranian freedom protests on college campuses? They bedded down with radical Islam. That's how much our primary education, our secondary education, our college education is awful and corrupt in this country. And I'm hoping this also precipitates the downfall of that garbage.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So you are going to see peace between Israel and Iran. You are going to see the Iranian people. I think it's going to be one of the most formidable great peace deal between Israel and another country in the Middle east. Because while the peace deal that Israel has now with Jordan and Egypt, Egypt, it's on a governmental level, the people of Jordan and the people in Egypt are not in love with the Israeli people. But when the Iranians are free, the Iranians are not going to forget that it was the Jewish people of Israel who stood with them, who supported them, who cheered them on. I think we're going to see a totally different level of peace relations between these two countries.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, we are witnessing history, aren't we? Yes, we are. This is going to be a glorious war. There's going to be this year. We will see more freedom. We'll see a wave of patriotism and freedom sweep the world. And also faith, by the way. And also faith. Brigitte Gabriel, always wonderful to have you on. ActForAmerica.org is there anywhere else you'd like to direct people.

[Rob Carson]

It's been a while since we had you on Worth the Wait. Thank you very much. Brigitte. Let's take a break and come back.

[Brigitte Gabriel]

Have a great day.

[Rob Carson]

Let's come back. This is the Rob Carson show, Audio Slave. Thank you very much. I listened to a lot of music this weekend. I was very busy this weekend. Went up to Balmer, went up to Dundalk. Dundalk. Not Dundalk. I had a marvelous, marvelous time up there for this America first fest. And I, I love the Dundalk area. It's interesting because, you know, I got these little. We were at this, uh, this, this sports bar kind of thingy, little restaurant and, and packed place. It's right here, this little inlet and there are houses around it. And then off in the distance you see the cranes from the, from the port, you know, the port of Baltimore. All of the goods coming in there. And, and it is a. Is a gritty place. It is a, you know, you know, it's getting better. Unfortunately, they're Democrats in charge of that state. Westmore is a scumbag piece of crap. Crap. But there are a lot of people in Maryland who are tired of it. Just tired of it, the nonsense. And I would encourage Maryland Republicans to stop being such meow meows. And I met some people who definitely are the opposite of that, definitely the opposite of that at this event. And so it was, it was just such a blessing to meet people. And we're going to get more out, more this year. Hopefully get to my affiliate markets and meet a lot of you guys, whether it be Benny Media up in New Hampshire or KSCO in Santa Cruz or KBQ in Albuquerque. Any one of those. I'm looking for the opportunity to come and visit you. I'm hopefully going to have a book published this year. I'm working on that tomorrow night. I've been invited to Capitol Hill tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to meet some Republican lawmakers and I'm gonna give a little bit. I'm gonna get a little. What? Fur is what I'm gonna give them. You know, actually, I'm gonna hand him some business cards and say, hey, come on my show. Let's talk about some stuff. So, yeah, it's kind of. It's kind of crazy. Call me like Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Metallica version. That's what I it is. It is a remarkable place and a remarkable time to live here. And as I told the guys on stage in Baltimore, I said, 2026 is going to be one of the greatest years of our lives for freedom and patriotism and faith. And we're going to see freedom spring. Across the country there are still bastions of stupidity like Virginia, the state of Virginia, Virginia, the city of New York, the city of Seattle. But the evil of the left is going to go down in flames in Minneapolis and elsewhere. God bless you, America's founder. What Donald Trump is doing for the country. Screw Tim Waltz and all the corrupt people in Minneapolis. And until tomorrow, which is Tuesday, don't catch the stupid I'll see you then.
