You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show
Show Announcer
in America on air and on the World Wide Web.
Rob Carson
This is the Rob Carson show. This is our number three of the Rob Carson Show. We are on radio stations around the country and also streaming live on all Newsmax social media, where we have giant numbers, gigantic numbers on Newsmax social media on Newsmax Rumble at Newsmax and YouTube, Newsmax channel and X and Facebook. Gigantic numbers, millions of people. I know, it's crazy. It's crazy. And then of course, on some glorious radio stations around the country and growing and growing. Because the best marriage is between the analog and the digital world. Because there's no better way to reach local audiences than local radio. That's just the way it is. Whether you're streaming or listening to the analog signal doesn't even matter. Best way to reach local audiences is local radio. I mean, local tv. You know what they do? They cover murders and sporting events. That's it. Local radio is connective. The personalities live there. They're involved in the community. Like, you know, WGMB in Rehoboth or WCBM in Baltimore or KSCO in Santa Cruz and KBQ in Albuquerque and all of the other stations, the Benny Media stations in New Hampshire doesn't get any better. Doesn't get any. Jack Heath, he's the mayor of Concord for crying out loud. He's the other governor of the state of New Hampshire, for goodness sake. It's fantastic. By the way, I'm also on all sorts of social media myself. If you go to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Truth Social, Getter, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Rob Carson show, do it now. I don't do just politics on those. Sometimes I do silly stuff. Sometimes I do recipes, Sometimes I do little cooking things. Sometimes I don't know, I do a bunch of stuff up on there. But I try to give you interesting and compelling content. Not necessarily just divisive content. Course samples of the show, little snippets of the show. Usually no longer than two minutes. So there you go. All social media. Rob Carson show you go. So the Democrat party is doing a death spiral into hell. They have corrupted the government. They are the largest crime family in the history of the. Of the world. And you know this, this entire global warming, climate change, murder, hornets, ozone, whole acid rain scam for the last 30 or so or 40 years, no, probably 50 years from the left has been meant to convince gullible people there's a crisis. Then take the money and give it to their cr. Fixing the crisis because there is no crisis. And John Solomon says that they're discovering that all that money they shoveled out the door after Joe Biden was removed from the ticket and Kamala Harris was. Was put in There was divvied up in the Democrat party and their cronies,
Lee Zeldin
Lee Zeldin, the EPA chief and he said that he's been digging into that
Rob Carson
$29 billion talk to Lee Zelda in
Lee Zeldin
green energy grants that he blocked money that he saved the American taxpayers. He was going out the door at the end of the Biden administration. He told me today he has found a major self dealing scandal. In other words, Obama and Biden administration officials were moving money around to former cabinet secretaries, to former, to donors, to political activists. Stacey Abrams.
Rob Carson
They were making their friends rich. You pay 50% of your damned income to local, state or federal government's fees and taxes. And these jack weeds were making their friends who've done nothing rich.
Lee Zeldin
One of them, we know about that from our reporting earlier this year and that he's now made several criminal referrals. Go check out that story tomorrow morning atjust the news dot com. We'll have all the details. All of the receipts from that.
Rob Carson
What told you they eluded the Treasury. $29 billion just there. $29 billion. Just, just divvy it up to their friends. Make their friends rich. Stacey Abrams, the gap tooth clown. $2 billion. Her little fake NGO was, was given $2 billion. They had $100 in the bank for goodness sake. Unbelievable. Here's how they do it. By the way. The state of Maryland. The state of Maryland is screwed by the way. West Moore, the fresh prince of Bel Airhead is the, is the governor. And instead the state has descended into hell fees. And they've replaced it. Replaced tax increases with fees. So they put a fee on everything now. And that way it doesn't have to pass the legislators or whatever. They just make it happen. That's what it is. And I saw this report. I think this was Fox 45 Baltimore. They went out to a parking lot just to show people all of the fees now that they're paying the government
Reporter
at the Motor Vehicle Administration today.
Interviewee at DMV
Dig a shot.
Reporter
Tony Joshua ran for the door when he saw the fee to register his vehicle had virtually doubled.
Rob Carson
Doubled.
Interviewee at DMV
I'm looking at the. I looked at. I turned right around and got out the line. I, I couldn't do it.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Interviewee at DMV
I didn't have it.
Reporter
The cost of registering and titling and inspecting a vehicle in Maryland doubled last year.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Reporter
But the growing list of increased fees in this state stretches far beyond the mba.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Reporter
This is what it amounts to.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Sheesh.
Interviewee at DMV
Yes. And, and look, I went to buy some tires and it was extra title
Listener/Caller
fee, registration fee, admission fees, tire Tax, vending tax. Rental car fee.
Interviewee at DMV
That. Tire tax.
Show Announcer
Geez.
Interviewee at DMV
Tax, vending tax. It just looked like greed more than anything.
Reporter
We showed taxpayers today the lengthening list of new fees approved by lawmakers in the past two years. It's just about. It's just about as tall as you are.
Listener/Caller
I know. Oh, my God.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And then there's this. They literally created a fee so they could funnel money into an NGO that's tight with the governor. This is real.
Reporter
The latest fee, which will be attached to every gallon of paint sold in Maryland, will go to a nonprofit organization which will manage Maryland recycling program. But the problem is the nonprofit Paint care isn't even registered as a nonprofit in the state of Maryland. However, it's set to.
Rob Carson
That's. That's a payoff there. That's a little money under the table.
Reporter
Receive a dollar fee for every gallon of paint sold in the state.
Interviewee at DMV
It flabbergasts me where the money's going sometimes. And I sit and I look back, I'm like, dude, do I stay here?
Listener/Caller
This shouldn't be happening.
Rob Carson
I wouldn't.
Listener/Caller
In 2026. This shouldn't be happening.
Interviewee at DMV
And every time you want to do the right thing, there's another fee coming on.
Rob Carson
Yeah, it's ridiculous. It is ridiculous when Democrats say there's an affordability crisis. If you had the 50% that the damned government takes from you, don't you'd be able to afford your groceries, don't you think you'd be able to afford your rent? Don't you think you'd be able to put some money aside for retirement that you can't do now? But it's never enough. They come up with a new fee, may come up with a new fee, new fee. We're gonna put a fee on this. We're gonna put a fee on that. I'm so done with this nonsense. You should be too. Bill Malugian is reporting that the Democrat Party is in tight. You know these. All these Astroturf anti Semitic protests that started after October 7th. The Democrat Party is more anti semitic than you knew.
Political Analyst
Some new funding links between the Biden administration and a handful of these far left anti Israel groups, including some groups that potentially have ties to known terrorist groups.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Political Analyst
The committee just released a brand new memo in which they allege that the Biden Harris administration used USAID and the State Department to provide taxpayer funds to US Based groups including the Rockefeller Brothers Network and the Tides Network. Then those groups then gave over $5 million to groups that funded anti Israel protests here in the US and also supported multiple terrorist links.
Rob Carson
All those protests that were terrifying Jewish students on America's campuses were funded by the Democrat Party non government organizations.
Political Analyst
Now, according to the committee, an example of that is $190,000 that went to Defense for Children International Palestine. That's an Israeli designated terrorist organization with ties to the US Designated.
Rob Carson
Meanwhile, the Southern Poverty Law center called Moms for Liberty, a terrorist organization, terror
Political Analyst
organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Some more money went to Jewish Voice for Peace, one of the main organizers of anti Israel protests here in the United States.
Rob Carson
Now, the Jewish Voice for Peace is anti Israel. That's what they do. They lie.
Political Analyst
In a statement to Jewish News Syndicate, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said in part, quote, you're taking taxpayer money. You're supposed to be doing good work. Why in the heck is it going to groups that are pro Hamas? Our government is sending American tax dollars to NGOs that are undermining our ally, our best ally, the State of Israel. That's not how it's supposed to work.
Rob Carson
You know, anti Zionist has replaced anti Semitic. They did that on purpose. And there are people now, unapologetically, these Democrat socialists saying they are anti Zionist. That means they are socialist and they're anti Semitic. That never works out very well. Germany, 1939. Anybody? I'm not screwing around here. I'm not screwing around here. Zorani Mandami, first mayor to skip the Israeli day parade in 62 years. He skipped it because he's an anti Semite and an Islamist. And we're gonna have to nip this in the rear end, but it looks like your Democrat Party is down with it. Completely down with it. Whenever a party goes socialist and anti Semitic, it's not going to end well for the party. Not going to end well. Here is Jill Biden. She's out promoting a book nobody is going to buy because she's the former first dingbat of the country. Here she is without other excuse as to why she, you know, when Joe Biden had that terrible debate performance, because, you know he has a severe mental decline, she said, I was very scared. I thought he was having a stroke. And then afterwards, didn't say anything about it. Didn't say, hey, Joe, are you okay? Did you have a stroke?
Jill Biden
I'm his wife, I've got to lift him up. So we go to the next event and I'm thinking, what do I say that will lift him up? That is true. I want to say the things that are true. And so I said, you know, you answered every question. My mind's racing.
Commentator
You know, that's a pretty low bar.
Rob Carson
Yeah. You know, this is a disastrous media tour that she's doing. Nobody believes her. Nobody wanted this man to be president. And nobody admires him. After his presidency, whenever he goes out to football games or whatever, they don't even turn the cameras towards him because nobody cares about him because he was a terrible president. And everybody knows his brain was dissolving like an Alka Seltzer in water.
Jill Biden
He was fine. I mean, he was fine. It was inexplicable. But what if that had happened during a meeting with foreign leaders or something? I don't know how to answer that.
Rob Carson
Nobody believes you. Ding. That.
Jill Biden
He gets off the stage, he says to me, jill, I really, in other words, messed up now.
Rob Carson
Now, you. You thought he was having a stroke. Why didn't you say, honey, I think we better get you to the hospital because I think you might have had a stroke.
Jill Biden
And I said, yes, you did. I'm thinking, what do I say that will lift him up? That is true. I want.
Rob Carson
Let's get you to the hospital. I think you had a stroke.
Jill Biden
Say the things that are true. And so I said, you know, you answered, my mind's racing.
Commentator
You know, that's a pretty low ball.
Rob Carson
Your mind is racing. I can't imagine it's going very fast.
Jill Biden
Well, and so, I mean, a pedal car race, you know, I had to sort of lift him up. I mean, I'm his wife. I'm not going to get out on the stage there and say, Joe, you really screwed that up.
Rob Carson
How about going on a stage, going, stop the debate. My husband's having a stroke. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I know that hiring and Rob was really strict.
Show Announcer
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to seek secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
Commentator
And he'd given so much of himself. And to see you even saying, like, I thought he was having a medical episode. I was concerned. Was there any part of you that went into protection mode of like, joe, you can't keep doing this. Like, this is. They're taking so much from you.
Jill Biden
The doctors told me he was fine. I'm not a doctor. I mean, I am a doctor.
Rob Carson
Oh, yeah, you're a. My God, if you were a doctor, so many people would be dead. I mean, a real doctor, she's a what? A doctorate. And Whatever the hell that is. Of course. That is, of course, Jill Biden. She's on a media tour for a book that no one is going to buy because no one cares about her or her husband because she puts the ding in dingbat. Yeah, she does. She does. Here she is being asked if Joe could have served another four years. I'm not. I'm just saying I've seen many relatives begin to decline because they would come to live with us. And my mother, we had an addition on the house built so they didn't have to die in a nursing home. And so I watched Uncle Virgil, Aunt Colleen and my grandmother Pearl, I saw the ends of their lives. And I got to tell you, you know, Joe Biden is, you know, the needle is getting close to empty.
Political Analyst
The diagnosis came in May of 2025. And considering what the president's health is now, had he continued his reelection bid, had he been elected again, would he been able to serve as president? Would he have had to resign?
Jill Biden
I don't know.
Rob Carson
Okay, then why in the hell did you continue to push him in the race? I gotta tell you, there's something very, very awful about this woman. And she uses this facade of a ditzy kind of airhead blonde who dresses like a couch or some curtains. When you were growing up, your mom's curtains. At about 1977. There's something wrong here. She is saying that. That Joe would have beaten Donald Trump in 2024. I know.
Jill Biden
I would never want to put our family through that again.
Political Analyst
But does he believe to this day that he would have defeated Donald Trump in that election?
Jill Biden
I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election.
Rob Carson
Oh, my Lord. You are out of your mind. Out of your mind. This is kind of funny. This is not related to the America's first ditz who was the first lady of the country. This is Hakeem Jeffries on cnn. And it sounds like maybe CNN is. See. Well, I won't say they're coming to the senses. They're still propaganda machines, but. But it sounds like they're willing to give Hakeem Jeffries and Democrats a little. What fur about these riots at ICE facilities.
Commentator
So the acting Assistant Secretary for Homeland Security had a comment about. About your claims and other criticism saying sanctuary politicians are spreading categorically false smears about ICE's Delaney hall facility in New Jersey. These types of smears are inciting violent outside the ICE facility in New Jersey.
Rob Carson
It is.
Commentator
No lawbreakers in the history of human civilization have been better treated than illegal aliens. What do you say to that,
Rob Carson
Mr. Dead Eyes.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Well, it's a wildly irresponsible claim, but this is what we should expect.
Rob Carson
No, no, a wildly irresponsible claim is saying that ICE are, are the Gestapo. That's what is a wildly irresponsible claim. I think, I think the American people have had a little bit enough of this, this nonsense to be quite honest. Burned mail in ballots found in Los Angeles Dropbox days before a moral mayoral election. Los Angeles county officials investigating and after mail in ballots were found damaged by fire an official ballot Dropbox just days before LA's highly anticipated June 2nd mayor and elections going on today. Does it surprise you? Authorities are also reviewing a separate act of election related vandalism at a vote center located at Cesar E. Chavez park in Long Beach. The Democrat Party is again, they're doing their death spiral into hell. Death spiral into hell. Here is Steve Hilton talking about the polling, how things are going because today
Steve Hilton
is primary day consolidation all around, around those two Democrats. Becerra Biden's useless health secretary and Tom Steyer, the billionaire climate fanatic. Just one correction, he spent hundreds of millions. His total spending now to try and buy this election is $220 million.
Rob Carson
He's Charles Foster Kane. Just go ahead and look up Citizen Kane. It's about him.
Steve Hilton
And so it's unbelievable. But the point is this, that actually whatever you would ever look at the polls, some of them are better than others. So it's all a bit of a wash. It's a tight race. In some of them I'm leading, some of them I'm second. In one of them that you mentioned, I'm third. I'm behaving as if the poll where I'm third is the real one because we cannot take a chance. Exactly as you said, it's do or die. But the good news is that when it gets to be a clear choice in the general election between me and one of these other Democrats, we really do have a shot.
Rob Carson
Now if, if there were free and fair elections in Cuba, the, the, the Cuban Communist Party would be voted out. But you see, they don't have free and fair elections. The same goes with California, I believe. My opinion is that Gavin Newsom would have been recalled. But I don't think the elections are free or fair there. Dan Bongino. I've known Dan for a number of years. Dan Bongino was on Fuego last night. I think he was talking to Jesse Waters about this crop of Democrat candidates. It's fantastic.
Political Commentator
Well, how about a big black Nazi tattoo. Like that's not a thing. The fact that this guy is even a thing speaks to possibly the worst slate of Democrat candidates. Forget Democrats candidates I have ever seen. This guy's hogging all the air out of the room. But the truth is you got the vegan 6 gender guy in Texas freaking vegan. When you can get hurt in Texas for arguing that you like extra moist over regular brisket.
Rob Carson
Yeah, that's true.
Political Commentator
Not arguing over like, hey man, I don't eat meat in Texas. Like, are you crazy? Did you ever hear like Sam Houston, Jim Bowie, you know, Davy Crockett thing like the album, like they don't screw around. And then you've got the guy in Michigan, Abdul El Sayed who's running around campaigning with Hasan Piker, who was like, yeah, you know, the whole rape on October 7 thing doesn't really bother me.
Rob Carson
Yeah. This is your crop of Democrat candidates nationally and now in California.
Political Commentator
To California. I love you California's. I know you're all American. What are you doing? The governor now is building a bullet train to nowhere. He could build a space ladder to the moon for the same price. Right. The guy who's the leading candidate, Joe Biden, who appointed him HHS secretary, didn't even know his name. He called him Javier Bakaria. You got this Tom Steyer guy who's running against billionaires, who's a freaking billionaire. Democrats, I'm sorry. Stop stepping on your own unit. You got to get out of your own way, man. Like I get it. Republicans, we got, we got our own issues with our guys too. But you really got issues with this clown.
Rob Carson
Oh, this is fantastic. It is, it is, it is. The Democrat party can't get good candidates because nobody sane wants to be a part of the party. That's true. I mean, that's just the way it is. Also, there are no masculine men in the Democrat party. They're all a bunch of soy boys from hell. Coming up, Blaine hall, he's not a soy boy from hell. He is the host of a great podcast, Dangerous intellectuals and former brigadier general. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. So many people living with everyday pain think they're just stuck with it and it is what it is, but it doesn't have to be. Let me tell you about George from Oregon and his relief factor story. George is a hard working guy. Spends 10 hours a day in his garbage truck. It's a tough job made even harder because he was dealing with sore right knee that he couldn't bend. But here's the amazing part. George started taking Relief Factor and it changed his life. He said and I quote I can bend my knee again with very little pain.

Nothing would be finer than to get my way with China. Watch me do it. Here's hoping that our sessions will result in big concessions. Nothing to it. Sheeping doesn't scare me. He can talk quite tough. If he tries to dare me, I will tell him enough. I know he has his eye on taking over Taiwan. Can't let that happen. The Chairman has to know. Unlike Sleepy Joe, I won't be that happens. I will tell the Chinese to stay out of Iran. Xi Ping I'm gonna face man and man. Nothing will be finer than to get my way with China and the commies. I am gonna own those Commercial.

I always accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. Latch on to the affirmative with me there is no in between. State of the Union sword approve a rate how it has stored. Democrats cannot afford to take me for Granted anymore. Inflation's low, employment's high the Dow Jones it is headed for the sky Border secure illegals aren't jettin in that's why I accentuate the positive eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative with me there is no in between.
Rob Carson
It's a Rob Carson show. Before we go to. Pardon me, I just got, I got, I got distracted here. Brigadier General Blaine hold, of course, host of the Dangerous Intellectuals podcast, first Pete
Pete Hegseth
Hegseth, right now directing the termination of 5.1 billion in DOD contracts. Not million, that's with a B. 5.1 billion in DOD contracts for ancillary things like consulting and other non essential services. So here's a few examples. DHA contracts for consulting services from Accenture, Deloitte, Booz Allen and other firms. They're going to save the department $1.8 billion.
Rob Carson
Okay, that's a nice start. It's a nice start. As I mentioned, the aforementioned Brigadier General Blaine Holt and host of Dangerous Intellectuals Podcast joins us on the Newsmax hotline. You know, I'd like to hear tens of billions cut from, from the Pentagon, but it's a nice start. What do you think?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
It's a down payment and nothing more. I think it's great. Let's make a big production out of it. We need procurement reform. We need to review our security and why we're paying what we're paying and start to take a look at American security in a very different way. And I want to see hundreds of billions of dollars budget.
Rob Carson
So do I. So do I. I mean, listen, I remember writing years ago when I first started writing for Rush LIMBAUGH in the 90s, there was that defense scandal about the $50,000 toilets. And things haven't gotten better, have they?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Yeah, I mean, because we're propping up what Eisenhower warned us about, which is the defense industrial complex is swallowing us. We can't afford this crap at this price point. And we're literally throwing 4 million dollar missiles at $30,000 drones.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
So you know, it's like Churchill said, well, gentlemen, we've run out of money. So now we'll have to think. Well, you better think fast because we're out of money. And it's not just the defense establishment, it's the whole national security establishment. It's the whole of what DC spends money on. There's an industrial complex for every living thing like the intelligence community, State Department and Medicaid, Medicare, all that stuff is just more of a grind. You know what we would like back? We'd like our money back. So if you want to bankrupt Social Security, just, just give me my money back.
Rob Carson
It really has gotten to be ridiculous. We've got nearly $40 trillion in debt. There's no plan for paying that back. We're just paying interest. This is, this is living on. This is what happens before you go bankrupt. This is something that you would do if you were an idiot in your 20s and you bought a sports car you couldn't afford and then you end up having to get all your crap from rent a Center at 80% interest. That's the way we're living right now.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Every circuit breaker, every financial circuit breaker is popping right now. And I believe what is going to happen and I hear little hints from Scott Dissent and Kevin Warship at things like the Reagan Economic Forum. Every indication says to me that we are going to be going to a new monetary system, that we are going to recognize that our great, great great grandchildren can't even pay off this debt since we just screwed them. And so in order to preserve American liberty and bring back manufacturing and re establish our rights as a self governed people, maybe this time around I think what I see is a gold backed treasury bill coming out, bond coming out. I think we see gold returning to the currency and I also think that we see stablecoin being elemental in that really without the CBDC crap and without the digital ID crap. I think, I think we're in for a rebirth. But I think that that's going to happen with the end of the financial system as we currently know it.
Rob Carson
Well, the dollar's worthless, bro.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
It is.
Rob Carson
Think about this dude. If you look at, this isn't just about inflation. I mean when I was selling cars, now seven years ago, you could buy a well appointed new car. And I'm talking about an SUV. I'm talking about a Toyota Highlander for $35,000. That, that 35,000. Dude, 55,000 is the new 35,000. Your, your fancy schmancy pickup truck, the zombie apocalypse truck you drive. That truck seven years ago was not that that truck seven years ago is $55,000. But now 85 is a new 55. If you're driving a Raptor, it's $110,000. I mean it just, it's absurd.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Add in the options of the 2026
Rob Carson
version of my truck
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
to your insurance company will brick itself if you're trying to avoid killing the kitty. And, and listen, this is all about American freedom. If you're in a financial cage that you can't work your way out of, well, there's another way they get your freedom, Rob. And so if I read the tea leaves correctly, I think the jig is up. The dollar is going to go to nothing. And I think we're actually going to cut into a new system because they have, this is what empires do at their end. And hopefully ours will live another 250 years. Yeah, the financialists always steal everything that's not nailed down. And they're doing it through property tax theft. They're doing it by inflating us out of our assets. They're doing it by stealing all of your pension funds for data centers. And you know what? Americans are pretty unified on this. It's not a Democrat, Republican thing. We've had it. We want enough. We want our money back.
Rob Carson
Yeah, I, I, I'm hoping that there's a turnaround. I like best and I think best, it's smart. I think Kevin Hassan is really smart. I think they have the best interest of the country at mind. Let's move on. Let's move on. By the way, they want a massive increase, over $1 trillion in spending for the Defense Department. I know that the Democrat, the, I wouldn't say that the Defense Department has been woefully underfunded. That's not the case. It's just the money has not been spent. Well, what, what sort of restrictions would you put on that new massive influx of cash into the Defense Department to make sure that it wouldn't be flushed down the $50,000 toilet?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Yeah, well, I would, I start in the same place every single time. Tell me the strategy, what you're trying, trying to accomplish, and then go ahead and defend that budget. Defend your end strength, defend the size. Why do we have so many people wearing civilian suits for a Defense Department? Why, why do we have a OSD staff that supports the Secretary of War? That's over 4,000 people. I'm sorry, check that. 7,000, 17,000 people. When you have the OSD policy people in on it and, and you go ahead and tell me where we need all that stuff and what your strategy is that you're trying to accomplish, and then we'll start talking about what that costs instead. What they start with is the cost. They start saying, here's the, here's the sticker, this is what it costs. And then nobody can. And we wonder why the Defense Department can't pass a dagum audit.
Rob Carson
Yeah, no kidding. Aren't we expecting an audit here soon?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Well, we're expecting one. I am a little bit dubious about that because we can pound our fists on tables but quite frankly we're going to have to go back and this is going to be unpopular to say I really just don't care. Yeah, we're going to have to go back to a week before 911 and find out when Donald Rumsfeld was going to come out and tell us about the 2 trillion that they couldn't find in the Defense Department and where was that money and why don't we go ahead and do a full autopsy on 911 and every single thing we've done since then and what it cost and go ahead, I dare you to try to do it without sending somebody to jail. You can't.
Rob Carson
You gotta kind of wonder and I'm not saying that 911 was, you know I believe was it was a terrorist, you know, foreign terrorists. But it looks like the Defense Department used the crisis to increase the budget like they used Covid to increase the size of the federal budget. That's what it kind of used a crisis. Am I right?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Money for all my friends. And this is how you know there's a problem and I asked this when I was a young major when 911 happened is why are you telling me that we're about to put in a massive ground invasion force using the United States army and up to 150,000 soldiers. Why are you telling me that that's the plan if this is supposed to be a different kind of war? It's a global war on terror and we're supposed to to be all over the place. Doesn't that mean light, lean, lift, agile? Doesn't it mean that and, and instead what we did was we pitched two battles, fixed massive forces and government contracts for trillions of dollars. As far as the I could say.
Rob Carson
And they made it last 20 years for a reason, didn't they?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
That's exactly right.
Rob Carson
Boom. There you go. Let's take a break and come back. I want to talk about what's going on with Iran, the negotiations on the other side of the break. General Blaine hold, of course the host of the Dangerous Intellectuals podcast. We'll be back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

Rob Carson
New bumper music.
Commentator
Come on.
Rob Carson
That's a band called Dr. Funk and it's fantastic Brigadier General Blaine Holt, host of the Dangerous Intellectual podcast on the Newsmax hotline. Are you a music guy? What do you, what do you like to listen? I know you like little foo foo dogs, but what do you like for music?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
You know, if it's not rap, I probably love it. I love all kinds of music. And, and my, my sons, they play piano and guitar and we're just, we love music. Oh, brother.
Rob Carson
I, I will tell you, I, I, I listen to some hip hop and, and I do, and not, not like the violent rap and whatnot, but it is one of my favorite genres and I followed it since Public Enemy and LL Cool J& all that, and there's still some good stuff. And now they've got like, like Snoop Dog and it's really good. And they got this new. Dude, they got this new, it's called Gangsta Grass and it's, it's hip hop meets bluegrass. It's pretty damn good. It's pretty dang good.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
I'll have to check it out.
Rob Carson
You should maybe, you know, you know, we need to, I'll take Buck My Bronco and you could take your, your zombie apocalypse Ford and we'll go, we'll go trailing. How's that sound?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
That sounds good. All Right. We'll bring my little friend upstairs with the big magazine.
Rob Carson
Oh, yeah, baby, I'd love that. All right, so let's talk a little bit here. This according to cnbc, Iranian negotiations. Negotiations will stop exchanging messages for the US through intermediates. Tehran will move to fully close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for ongoing cease fire violation. Iran's state affiliated news media outlet said on Monday. Trump said, basically, I don't need to negotiate. I'm kind of done with it. What does this portend? Does this portend the continued starvation of the Iranian economy with the blockade or the possibility of starting the bombing again?
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Now we're getting to the end game. That's what this means.
Rob Carson
Okay.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
All right. It's going to be very difficult with anything coming out of any news outlet right now. And it, and it's not with malice. It's that there's so much going on behind the scenes right now. Rob, you can't take just a social media post out of Iran or. Because what do we have here? We have three factions, four factions that really believe they're now the leaders of Iran. One of them's got guns and bullets. They're called the irgc. And so the guys who are really negotiating, they can't say they're working it out with the United States. They'll take bullets to the head. So what do we see happening? We see, let them bluster with their propaganda. President Trump knows better through the intel on the ground. Wait a minute. Intel on the ground's working with the resistance army of Iran, getting them together with those wonderful kids called the Artesh, the normal army of Iran. They have guns, by the way, and they'll get together and then in combination with the United States, we will militarily take apart the irgc. It is going to happen. It will probably happen soon. President Trump will greenlight that operation and then it goes. But there are negotiations going back and forth and it will be, how do we reconstruct Iran? And what I think I see happening is you're going to see something emerge that looks a lot like the Venezuelan model or very close to it.
Rob Carson
Yeah, well, I think that with a weakened irgc, the voice and power of capitalism will begin to ring. And when people start seeing dollar signs, there will be more motivation to make Iran a free country again.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Yeah, it's worse than that. They can't eat and there's no water to drink. Right now. They're really at the end of their wits.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
And the only thing that they fear is, is this blood Crazed bunch of psychopaths that are out of money and ideas who will kill anything in sight. So where does that leave us? That leaves us with us doing something militarily. And, and I think that that's baked into the cake. Look, they're working out the timing and the tempo and the timelines of all of this stuff. And that's what gets people here frustrated because it's very, very hard to get a piece of information, grasp onto it and try to make sense of it. And I would say that's all by design in this great war of deception and fog.
Rob Carson
Well, they're trying to sow seeds of doubt in everybody here. And you know, it's tempting to not recognize that Donald Trump has a plan. He is executing the plan. He has always executed the plan. He has never misled anybody on anything, although the Democrat Party. He lies, but screw you, you're full of crap. He has not. He has a plan, he executes the plan. And he's been doing this. The other day I see a headline, Donald Trump is on the phone with a fiery conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu and says f you. I'm like, really? First of all, how in the hell would you know that? Second of all, I don't frickin believe it.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Well, they're not really in alignment right now. Would be nice if Israel didn't have the strategy they had in southern Lebanon right now. But both men are very strong, fiery personalities and don't mind playing rocket sock em robot, I think. And there is a deception or a distraction value to that which helps us on the Iranian side.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Here's what I think is going to happen when all this starts to subside. We're going to see evidence like we did in Venezuela. We're going to see lots of evidence and it's going to touch a lot of prominent American leaders. Not going to go into yet how I know that, but I think it's coming. And there's a lot of people who are vested in wanting to see that war continue going because they don't want exposure that a lot of the revealings are going to yield on this thing once we get into Iran.
Rob Carson
Dude, I really appreciate your, your feedback on this and your input, your insider information because I'm certainly not privy to any of it. And your, your, your knowledge and experience are greatly valued on this show. Do appreciate you, my brother. Tell everybody about your podcast where they can find it.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Well, if you want some positivity, you come see us@dangerousintellectuals.com this week on Monday. I talked to Dr. Pippa Malgram and she is not, she's not cup half full. She's cup is overflowing. She's going to get into a lot of the emerging technologies that are coming on and how she sees the world unfolding for us in a new age, an age of abundance, an age with a brand new monetary system.
Rob Carson
Absolutely, brother. I appreciate you have a glorious rest of your week. I'm off tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, but I'll talk to you next week. Let's take a break and come back.

Working Friday at a talkers conference in New York City. Here we go. Here.
Senator Cory Booker
We.
Rob Carson
Have made our adversary in a stronger negotiating position. We are the strongest nation on the
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
planet Earth and we're in a stale.
Rob Carson
This is a Cory Booker versus Marco Rubio. Whose SPO's gonna win this one mate with Iran. And now we're begging to get back into a deal that you all crashed in the first place.
Senator Cory Booker
There's no one begging.
Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Clearly.
Rob Carson
This is a. Senator Booker. Senator Booker, your time's up. How about shut the hell up?
Senator Cory Booker
I do want to address some of these points because they go to the heart of the matter. No, no one's begging for anything here. The Iranians might be begging because their economy is losing hundreds of millions of dollars a day that they are losing. Understand Iran had street protests going on before all of this started. All of those factors, economic factors in Iran are far worse today than they were six months ago when those protests were happening. They have hyperinflation. Their currency is completely devalued. They're struggling to make payroll for the government workers. Iran is in a very serious situation. And if it was up to the political class there, and I understand every, everybody there is sort of radical in some way, but if it was up to the people that actually like go to elections and wear the suits and you see on tv, they probably make a deal tomorrow. It's the, the issue they're facing is that the supreme Leader in the.
Rob Carson
He's just doing a great job today. Here he is going after Tammy Duckworth who's just being rude and awful.
Senator Marco Rubio
Self defeating impacts your budget request here would sadly perpetuate that trend and undermine the roles and responsibilities that you should be fulfilling as Secretary of state. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.
Senator Cory Booker
Okay, I didn't get to answer any of that.
Senator Marco Rubio
I didn't respond question.
Senator Cory Booker
Well, she didn't answer any questions. She doesn't want me to answer.
Senator Marco Rubio
Can I answer anyway?
Rob Carson
You mean.
Senator Cory Booker
Okay, well. But she made a bunch of points. I get to answer them, right?
Rob Carson
Yeah. There you go.
Senator Cory Booker
First of all, I don't understand this thing, but let me tell you, we were just here. Maybe you weren't here. We were just talking about it. We did a peace deal with Azerbaijan and Armenia and we just signed the trip agreement yesterday actually, or last week. We signed it last night. I officialized it.
Rob Carson
Yeah. While Joe Biden was at this stage in his, in his, his term as president, he had crapped his pants twice every day. That. And that was all he did.
Senator Cory Booker
That was diplomacy.
Senator Marco Rubio
That's great, but the administration is still blown through.
Senator Cory Booker
When do I get to 14?
Senator Marco Rubio
Do I get to talk this entire budget?
Rob Carson
So there you Go. That's your Democrat Party filibustering with nonsense. But they are, of course, not playing with a full deck. And Marco Rubio is a very, very intelligent man. Thank you very much. And a hell of a, a hell of a secretary of State. By the way, Cruising Tours, we're doing this trip to, to Washington D.C. or Nepal, the 25th through the 29th. I am told we have some seats available. I am told we have some seats available. Now. You, you've been seeing the reflecting pool is going to be open. The all of the fountains are flowing.

Travelwithrob.net October 25th through the 29th. Come and hang with me. Okay? Get it booked while I'm off the next couple days. Get it booked. All right. I'll take care. I gotta go. God bless you.

The episode features in-depth discussions about government “money shuffles,” rampant fees and taxes, antisemitism on the left, the state of the U.S. military-industrial complex, and foreign policy with a focus on Iran. Brigadier General Blaine Holt provides insider analysis on the U.S. defense budget, government waste, and potential coming changes to U.S. monetary policy.
