Episode Overview

In this lively and satirical edition, Rob Carson dissects the latest political drama in Virginia, where the Democratic Party's attempts to push an allegedly gerrymandered electoral map were derailed by a surprising state Supreme Court decision. The botched legal filings—rife with spelling mistakes and even a misspelling of "Virginia"—become a focal point for Carson’s comedic barbs. Throughout the show, Carson is joined by Virginia State Senator Bryce Reeves and other commentators, unpacking the court ruling, the Democratic response, and the wider implications for both state and national politics. Alongside the main story, Carson highlights recent Republican victories, economic milestones, efforts to lower drug prices, and heated culture war moments with his characteristic blend of humor and conservative commentary.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Virginia’s Gerrymandering Fiasco (00:46–06:00, 14:28–44:00)

• Virginia Democrats sought to enact a favorable redistricting map, but the state Supreme Court ruled it "100% illegal."
• The new Democratic Attorney General's office filed the appeal incorrectly—to the wrong court—and riddled the filing with spelling errors, including misspelling "Virginia" and using "sentator" instead of "senator" (00:46, 24:33).
• Carson and guests lampooned the Democratic Party's "brilliance" and lack of seriousness, drawing parallels between sloppy paperwork and a lack of respect for the rule of law.

Notable Quote:

“Virginia Democrats and AG J. Jones appealed to the wrong court while trying to get the Supreme Court to help reinstate their gerrymandering map. They wrote to the Supreme Court of Virginia by accident. The filing also had a ton of spelling errors, including misspelling the state of Virginia.” — Rob Carson (00:46)

• Senator Bryce Reeves provided an inside view, mocking the errors and expressing confidence that the state’s Supreme Court decision would stand (24:33–32:00).
• The conversation spiraled into accusations of corruption and incompetence among Democratic leaders, specifically mentioning other scandals connected with Democratic figures in Virginia (25:15, 25:22, 26:18).

2. Media Narrative vs. Political Reality (03:34–05:00, 18:15–20:25, 33:30–35:23)

• Carson and guests argued that mainstream narratives painting Democrats as dominant in the upcoming midterms are false.
• Critique was leveled at media coverage, accusing outlets of ignoring positive economic news and achievements under the Trump administration, while inflating Democratic talking points (04:01, 09:46–10:43).
• Figures like Bakari Sellers and Hakeem Jeffries were called out for “inflammatory and stupid” rhetoric regarding voting rights and the impact of court reforms (18:15, 19:28, 20:42, 40:24).

Notable Quote:

"Conservative comedy is ascending because the left can't be taken seriously anymore." — Rob Carson (18:10)

3. GOP Victories and Trump-Era Policy Wins (02:30–05:00, 09:46–12:31, 34:13–37:58)

• The show trumpets recent economic statistics, including record U.S. exports and booming domestic manufacturing attributed to Trump administration policies.
• U.S. Trade Ambassador Jameson Greer details American export growth, especially in agricultural products:

"U.S. exports of corn went up by 25% last year... if you look at January, February and March this year, US exports were over $300 billion each month. Those are the highest figures in 250 years of American history." — Jameson Greer (03:31, 03:44)

• Successes in lowering prescription drug prices ("Trump Rx") were spotlighted, with Dr. Oz explaining proposed savings and the lack of media coverage (09:46–10:43).

Notable Quote:

"We're reducing drug prices by 500, 600% or 80%... anyway, it's all about the phrasing of the question. And the media doesn't write about it." — Dr. Oz (10:31, 10:43)

4. Corruption and Medicaid Fraud (10:52–12:31, 25:54–26:31)

• Dr. Oz highlighted the rampant fraud in Medicare and Medicaid, arguing that eliminating fraud could extend the life of these programs:

"If we take the fraud out of Medicare, just Medicare alone, we would double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund..." — Dr. Oz (11:40)

• Carson compared the situation to lavish but ineffectual public spending, specifically likening it to the “filthy” state of The Reflecting Pool post-Obama renovations.

5. Democrats' Radical Moves and Messaging (15:00–20:50, 23:15–28:37, 32:00–33:30)

• Commentary included Democrats’ panic over the court loss and fleeting proposals to set a mandatory retirement age of 54 for justices, in order to "politically decapitate" the state’s Supreme Court (23:15, 23:50, 27:04).

Notable Quote:

“They want to pass through the legislature a mandatory retirement age of 54 years so everybody on the Supreme Court goes away. That is just, I mean, beyond Banana Republic kind of stuff.” — Rob Carson (26:31)

• Senator Reeves described Democratic legislators as "fire ants...piling on top of each other and wanting to bite anybody that gets near them," emphasizing Democratic disarray and overreach (27:04, 28:16).

6. Racial Rhetoric and Culture Wars (18:15–20:50, 40:24–42:25)

• Bakari Sellers’ remarks on racial progress and gerrymandering were criticized by Carson for exaggeration and historical revisionism:

"If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply say, the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits. They swapped out Klan hoods for Brooks Brothers suits." — Bakari Sellers (18:15)

• Carson and guests called out such comments as "over the top, ridiculous, inflammatory and stupid" (19:04), maintaining that no voting rights were being infringed by the court decision, but rather that fairer electoral maps were being restored.
• Hakeem Jeffries' references to Jim Crow and "good trouble" were similarly blasted as fear-mongering (40:24).

Panel Rebuttal:

"No voter has lost their voice at all. No one's been disenfranchised. Every voter in America before these court rulings could go cast a ballot this November and every voter in America, white, black or otherwise, can go cast a ballot." — Scott Jennings (42:03)

7. Looking Ahead: More GOP Momentum and Democratic Challenges (34:13–40:11)

• Rob Carson and Bryce Reeves predicted a wave of Republican victories, noting Democrats’ failure to address core issues (education, taxes, energy).
• Democrats’ attempts to blame Republicans for rising costs and to launch new legal/messaging campaigns were described as “death throes of a party in desperation.”
• Reeves described the Republican caucus as reinvigorated and fighting back, noting strong attorney representation and grassroots energy (39:25, 39:51).

[Rob Carson]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show

[Bryce Reeves]

in America on air and on the World Wide web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson show and it is a glorious Tuesday. A lot, a lot, a lot of stuff on the plate today. Virginia the, the new A.G. the new A.G. j. Jones is going to appeal to the Supreme Court. The ruling by the state Supreme Court that said the gerrymandering of the state of Virginia in favor of Democrats was illegal 100%. Not only how they, they actually got the thing on the ballot, but also the ballot itself, among other things. And it has zero chance of being heard by the Supreme Court. And it doesn't help that he by the way, sent it to the wrong court. Yeah, Virginia Democrats and AGJ Jones appealed to the wrong court while trying to get the Supreme Court to help reinstate their gerrymandering map. They, they wrote to the Supreme Court of Virginia by accident. They also filed the filing also had a ton of spelling errors, including misspelling the state of Virginia. And Senator instead of Senator, they said sentator. Boy, I tell you what, these, these Democrats, they are, they are brilliant. Now we're going to be talking about this with, with State Senator Bryce Reeves at the bottom of the air. I got a lot of audio to get to a lot of fun. It's just, it's fun to watch the Democrats as they continue their tail spin into hell. And it's funny to read. They know different publications say, oh yeah, the Democrats are going to destroy the Republicans on the midterms. No, they're not. No, no. And all this, this getting rid of all the racial gerrymandering and everything is going to ensure that the Republicans are unbeatable in the midterms. So there's that. Nice try though. But I want to start off the show with some darn good news because I love to hear this jingle and I love to share good news. We love to win, winning, winning. So much winning. It's lots of winning, lots of winning, lots of winning, Lots of winning, lots of winning, lots of winning. It's oh so Good. This is U.S. trade Ambassador Jameson Greer. And none of you knew this, but all of the manufacturing and stuff that' America. And all of the tariffs and all of that, because we were kind of getting bent over and taken advantage of by the entire world. And now we're actually exporting more goods than we ever have. We're exporting oil, we're building factories here in America. And he says that we are at. Are you ready? You better sit down with this. I know that Donald Trump is a Nazi and white supremacist Hitler and everything and all that, but we are at the highest exports in 250 years.

[Jameson Greer]

So we spent the past year obviously using tariffs to protect American production. And that gets a lot of the news. But a little bit of the untold story are these deals. We've had dozens of countries come to us and pledge to lower their tariffs and non tariff barriers to US exports. A lot of them.

[Rob Carson]

You know why? Because we're the friggin United States of America. There you go.

[Jameson Greer]

Already done that. Dropping those, those tariffs. Yeah. You know, just a couple of examples. The United States exports of corn went up by 25% last year.

[Rob Carson]

We're corn stars.

[Jameson Greer]

Right? That's, that's a huge amount. And if you look at January, February and March this year, US exports were over $300 billion each month. Those are the highest figures in 250 years of American history.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Jameson Greer]

Each month beating the record of the previous.

[Rob Carson]

But no, no, honestly, Donald Trump's doing a terrible job and they're going to. He's going to get beaten in the midterms.

[Jameson Greer]

This doesn't happen organically. This is something that comes from part of a plan.

[Rob Carson]

And not having a president who goes on vacation 40% of the time and then 60% after he drops out of the race cuz he had dementia.

[Jameson Greer]

All the deals that President Trump has been striking. So we're seeing Americans who build stuff, who grow stuff, who make stuff. They're not only serving the American market now, they're getting more overseas.

[Rob Carson]

Barack Obama said. Barack Obama said, I don't got no magic wand. I can't bring back manufacturing from America. I can't do anything about that. Yeah. Honestly. Hey, what happens when you have a president who does stuff and a president who actually knows business and a president who goes to Washington D.C. to do what we ask him to do. That's what happens, you see. So we're kicking butt and we're taking names and I don't know if you knew this, but the reflecting pond, the pool in front of the washer. Washington, or I should say the Lincoln Memorial has it's iconic. Martin Luther King Jr. Stood above that and delivered his I have a dream speech. And people gathered around it. Jenny and Forrest got together and they kissed each other in front of the crowd. Forrest Gump and Jenny right there in the reflecting pool. It's been a horrible mess. It's been a putrid pond of goose crap and slime for years. And they said it was going to cost $300 million it would take three years to fix. And Donald Trump said, no, wait a minute, hold on. I got all these hotels around the world and rebuilt the New York skyline and everything. I'm kind of good at this building thing. How about I just get the world's best swimming pool experts to come in, since it's pretty much just a large swimming pool and we have them do it for. And they said, Mr. President. Yeah. How long will it take? The president said. They said, well, it's gonna take three weeks and it's gonna cost $2 million. And the Democrat party had been streaking and screaming and yelling because I guess Donald Trump's gonna defame the putrid swamp that is the reflecting pool. Barack Obama did the same thing. I don't know if Obama came in with $30 million. And it took months and months and months to fix the reflecting pool. And when they reopened it, it was as slimy and scummy as it was

[Hakeem Jeffries]

before being just cleaned and opened up a month ago. Looks like nothing was done.

[Rob Carson]

That's 2012. Real nasty.

The pool was closed for almost two years and underwent a 34 million dollar renovation project.

Wow.

It'd be nice if it was clearer

water so that one could reflect without seeing. The first thought was, oh, that's kind of nasty. Yeah, There you go. $30 million shut down for two years. Barack Obama. And they open it up and it is scummy as your swimming pool. If you've, if you've had it covered for the winter. You know, I'm talking about if you guys have a swimming pool. It's always best to have friends who have a swimming pool, not actually have one yourself. But if you leave it set all winter, you. You peel the top off and it is just sludge and slime. And you got to do this thing called shocking it. You throw a bunch of chemicals into it. It kills all the slime and sludge and all that. But Barack Obama spent two years and $30 million on the damn thing, and it was still filthy and awful. Didn't do a Damn thing didn't do a thing. Donald Trump's gonna have it sparkling clear, blue, painted blue. It's gonna be beautiful. It's gonna be ready for the 250th anniversary of our great country. There's a great faith based event happening this Sunday. I'm going in for that. I'm looking forward to it. It's a rededication to one nation under God. I wanted to mention this. I was talking to a guy today who works here at the, at the office. I don't know him very well. He's an architect. And I go into this box here on the other end of the building and do a TV and radio show. And I said, yeah, I'm going down to this event on Sunday to rededicate America to faith in the 250th anniversary of our country's birth. And he goes, oh, yeah, I'm going down there too. And I said, oh, you're going down there. It's called Rededicate250 on the National Mall. And I said, well, that's pretty cool because, you know, I've never talked to him about religion or anything. And then he said, yeah, I'm heading down there, I'm bringing my niece, she's got an internship, she's staying with us and all of that. And then we're going to go down there because it's important that we be there. And he says, he says, oh, yeah, years ago I was at this thing called Promise Keepers. Promise Keepers was down on the National Mall and there were two and a half million people came down there. Now, if you remember the 1990s, some of you don't because you were born then, but the Promise Keepers came around. It was a group of men of all colors, blacks, whites, everything. And they rededicated themselves to faith in their family faithfulness with their wives, being a good father in all this. And the left shredded them as sexist, as misogynistic and all of this. And they shot it down. They do that. The left does this. Anytime there's a faith movement or a good movement, the Tea Party movement, they destroyed it. Call it a bunch of white supremacists and all of this. And I'm thinking maybe this event, this event coming on Sunday, is finally the culmination of decades of the left trying to tear us down and dragging us into hell with them and us finally saying, nah, now you go ahead, we're going, we're going without you. And I think it's going to be absolutely amazing. Absolutely amazing. Donald Trump yesterday, you know Trump Rx is happening. Joe Biden, when he was the president, he said he was going to lower the price of insulin. That was all he was going to do as far as drug prices. He was going to lower the price of insulin. That was him. That was what he did supposedly. I guess maybe if you take insulin, it actually happened. But it was nothing compared to what Donald Trump is doing, lowering the price of prescription medications dramatically. Here is Dr. Oz and President Trump yesterday, something he's not getting any credit for on the national media. But it is historic. It is absolutely historic.

[Dr. Oz]

It is working spectacularly well, incredibly effective at so many things that there's not an American around buying a medication should not. Check trumprx.gov first. Yeah, we propose Mr. President is going to save us $600 billion.

[Rob Carson]

Let me go ahead. I'm going to check my medication over here on the Trump Rx. Feeling erectile? Oh, nothing, nothing, nothing at all.

[Dr. Oz]

Over the next decade, the kinds of

[Rob Carson]

savings we're going to achieve from the

[Dr. Oz]

most favored nation drug pricing that Secretary Kennedy organized.

I'm in Ozempic and the media doesn't write about it. If somebody, if a Democrat proposed it, it'd be front page news every day for the rest of your life. The media.

[Rob Carson]

But Joe Biden got, got insulin prices possibly or at least made a promise and he said he was going to cure cancer and he didn't do that.

[Dr. Oz]

They don't want to write about it.

[Bryce Reeves]

Think of it.

[Dr. Oz]

We're reducing drug prices by 500, 600% or 80%.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, but you're a white supremacist, Nazi maga, fascist enemy of democracy or 75%.

[Dr. Oz]

Anyway, it's all about the phrasing of the question.

[Rob Carson]

Try to beat black people from voting.

[Dr. Oz]

And the media doesn't write about it.

[Rob Carson]

It's amazing.

[Dr. Oz]

It's so sad. It's so biased. And that's why the media, their approval rating went down just today. 12% year.

[Rob Carson]

12% approval rating. That's fantastic. It was like my wife's approval of me before we divorced. It was right up there. I might have been a little higher. BF05 over there on Rumble says my insulin never went down under Biden. No, because he always promised crap. He said he was going to cure cancer too. The media never held him to the account for saying he's going to cure cancer. He didn't cure cancer. But you know the one thing Democrats did really well with Medicaid? They made it into a gigantic slush fund and a gigantic organized crime CABAL Here is Dr. Oz talking about if they just got rid of the fraud for Medicaid ushered in by largely the Democrat Party, it'd be around forever.

[Dr. Oz]

If we take the fraud out of Medicare, just Medicare alone, we would double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund, which means if you're working right now and you're worried about Medicare being there for you, or if you're on Medicare now and you're worried that it might have some financial issues, we would double its life expectancy if we just took the fraud out of the system. Aggregate Medicare, Medicaid.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you mean all those autism centers and all those hospice care centers? We just got rid of that and be around for a while.

[Dr. Oz]

The vice President was speaking about in that earlier clip with Nick shirley. It's about $100 billion that we're looking at that we can bring back into the treasury, minimum. And so I'm compelled both to do the job as CMS administrator that the president has put me in charge of to get that money back or never leave it, leave the building so that we don't get foreign countries taking advantage of this. But we also have an obligation to protect our most vulnerable, to not let these fraudsters corrupt the very foundation of our social safety. In that system.

[Rob Carson]

The Democrat Party did the equivalent to Medicaid of what Barack Obama did with the Reflecting Pool. Spent a lot of money, and it's still just filled with scum and filth. All right, we got a ton of stuff to get to election in Virginia. That Supreme Court decision has got Democrats going bananas. Hakeem Jeffries is gonna pitch a fit, man. None of it's gonna make a damn bit of difference. It's not gonna make a bit of difference. Deal with it. We're gonna cover that on the way. This, my friends, is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. If you are on Medicare or about to be, you could be overpaying right now and never know it. Here's why. Millions of seniors are in a plan that doesn't fit their needs. Because Medicare is complicated. Many brokers just steer people into plans that pay them the most. That's absurd. That is so absurd, I decided to write a little slogan for it. Medicare sure ain't fair, and choosing a plan is a bear. Pick a plan with a broker if you dare, and you might end up with a scare. Okay, you listen. It's a little rough. You need to know about chapter. They're the only national advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. With chapter, you'll see what a plan actually costs when you need it, not just the $0 sum plans advertise. Your doctors are covered and your prescriptions are too. You'll have confidence you have the coverage you need. A call with Chapter is free, takes about 20 minutes. If you're turning 65 or already on Medicare, call 27 Medicare. Again, that's 2, 7 Medicare. Call 27 Medicare today, the rob Carson

[Rob Carson]

It is a ROB Carson Show. Bryce Reeves, Virginia state senator is going to join us at the bottom of the hour to talk about all of shenanigans of the Democrat Party. They tried to pass illegal gerrymandering to eliminate representation from the Republican Party in the state of Virginia. This, you know, in case you didn't know, like Maine and Massachusetts have up to like 45% Republicans know Republican representatives in those states. It's been that way for years and years and years and years and years. The Democrat Party wanted to take an otherwise fairly gerrymandered state with a 6, 5 split between Republicans and Democrats, which was perfectly fair. And they wanted to make it exclusively Democrat with the exception of one representative in a state that's, you know, 50, 50 split. And the Virginia Supreme Court looked at this referendum that they rammed down the Virginian throats and they were deceptive about it. Even the ballot measure itself was deceptive, leaning it toward the Democrat party in favor of the Democrat Party, yet saying it was somehow making the representation fair. So as a complete joke, it got thrown out. It was a laughing, it was laughing stock. And it's not going to go anywh, it's not going to go anywhere from here. Hakeem Jeffries saying they're valuing a massive response following redistricting effort. The setback in Virginia, it isn't going to make, it's not going to mean D word for Richard. They're going to try and send it to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. That's going to fail. The new AG of the state of Virginia sent the appeal to the wrong court, sent it to the Supreme Court of Virginia and then also it included a bunch of spelling errors too. Apparently this is how unstoppable, serious and uneducated these people are. Here's Carl Higbee talking about the AG of Virginia being effectively illiterate. You can't say that. That's racist. No, I can't. Actually. If you're going to be an adult, you got to be able to spell.

[Jason Miera]

You don't think Democrats have shifted to the left? Check this out. The guy who was governor, who appointed the guy who wrote this decision in Virginia to not let Democrats do something, by the way, this was not a partisan ruling, okay? The court just said, hey, guys, you didn't separate two legislative sessions by a general election like the Constitution says. But the guy who.

[Rob Carson]

And then the misleading language on the

[Jason Miera]

ballot put that justice on the court is now like, ah, the court's partisan.

[Bryce Reeves]

What?

[Jason Miera]

And now the violent attorney general, the guy who threatened to kill his opponent's kids. Yeah, that's their new attorney general in Virginia.

[Scott Jennings]

Right.

[Jason Miera]

He just appealed their Democrat gerrymander map that was unconstitutional to the Supreme Court, where he not only misspelled his own state of Virginia on the filing, but they also misspelled Senator Sentator.

[Rob Carson]

You know, you got this thing on your computer. I don't know if you knew this. That literally will do a little spell check for you. I do that all the time. I'm real careful because I'm kind of a grammar Nazi. You're just a Nazi? No, I'm just a grammar Nazi. And occasionally I'll miss something. I'll just have it checked for me.

[Bryce Reeves]

Me.

[Rob Carson]

It's really not that hard to do. It's really not that hard to do. What a maroon. Anyway, one of the most outrageous things, I gotta tell you, there's this, this caterwauling in this. I mean, just shrill shrieking from the left and CNN is just, It's. I'm enjoying it, actually. Guy named Bakari Sellers and Bakari Sellers says this getting rid of racial gerrymandering erases every accomplishment by black people in the last 130 years. Sorry, it's. I. Conservative comedy is ascending because the left can't be taken seriously anymore.

[Bakari Sellers]

All right?

[Rob Carson]

And when you say stupid crap like this, I'm gonna make fun of you.

[Bakari Sellers]

If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply say, the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits. They swapped out Klan hoods for Brooks Brothers suit.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. He must have gotten some sort of lessons from, from Al Sharpton on, on what I. What would I call rhetorical flourishes. I mean, how stupid is. This is like. Listen, hold on. This is, this is like out of somebody's playbook.

[Bakari Sellers]

If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026. They would simply say, the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits. They, they swapped out Klan hoods for Brooks Brothers suits. Yeah, and that is the problem.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, Plessy V just said is so bloody stupid. You're erasing the memory of Jesse Owens, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Oprah, Thurgood Marshall, Obama, Malcolm X, MLK Jr. Whenever you do this, whenever you say stupid crap like this, you cheapen the memory of people who've really suffered. Unlike you. Sellers spoiled, entitled panelist on CNN.

[Bakari Sellers]

Dear God, Ferguson was 7:1 and it gave birth to 50 years of Jim Crow.

[Rob Carson]

What we have with this Democrat policy

[Bakari Sellers]

court right now, what we're seeing is watching people who have fought and died and bled so that we would have access to the ballot box, so that we would have access to our voices being heard in Congress being ripped away.

[Rob Carson]

Everything he's just said is completely over the top, ridiculous, inflammatory and stupid. Stupid. Hundreds of thousands of white people died during the Civil War to free the slaves.

[Bakari Sellers]

And I think that there is a casual laughter from people we.

[Rob Carson]

Oh no, it's real laughter when you talk like this. I'm laughing at you because you're a

[Bakari Sellers]

buffoon believed to be our friends on the right who are showing us true colors today. Because the most sacred or one of the most sacred acts you have in the United States of America is the ability to cast a ballot and elect someone and send them to.

[Rob Carson]

And nobody is taking that away from anyone. They're just taking the ability to steal and base districts on gerrymandering of race away from the Democrat Party. And by the way, the same states who are affected by the getting rid of the race gerrymandering are the former Confederate states run by Democrats, Congress, the

[Bakari Sellers]

state house or mayoral seat that represent your interest. And now black folks throughout the south are being silent. And I don't find that to be a laughing matter.

[Rob Carson]

Not one little bit. They're. They're not one little bit. No one is saying that black people can't. It's just so ridiculous. It is just so utterly ridiculous as to be laughable. And I am going to do nothing but laugh at you when you say stupid things like that. Senator Bryce Reeves. He's an evil white guy, I guess, anyway. No, he's a Virginia senator.

[Scott Jennings]

There's a better chance of me sprouting wings and flying out of that window over there than the United States Supreme Court dealing with this in any way. Because this is a state Supreme Court ruling on a state constitution. The U.S. supreme Court doesn't deal with these kinds of things, number one. Number two, the freakout in Virginia has been so extreme you even have Democrats over there who are saying they want to effectively politically decapitate the entire Virginia Supreme Court by putting an age limit of 54 so they can get rid of every existing justice and install people who will promise to rule a certain way on a certain case.

[Rob Carson]

Well, they have certainly gone bananas in Virginia. They tried to illegally gerrymander the state. They lied about the ballot initiative. They, they forced it down, the Virginia voters through it. Then they lied on the actual ballot about it being fairness and whatnot. Got shot down because you know, God has a sense of humor. And the Democrat party is now they're going to get rid of the Supreme Court. So stupid. I've got. I've got to give somebody on here to talk about this. We have got from the great state of Virginia, State senator. I'm sorry. No. If I'm going to be real like Jay Jones State 8 Centatur. Bryce Reeves.

[Bryce Reeves]

Yeah, yeah. I've got four legs. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

How are you today, sensitor?

[Bryce Reeves]

Oh my God. Well, I meant. Yeah. How do they spell Virginia? Yeah, yeah, exactly. That magical mystical place. He can't even do the affidavit correctly. Like what an idiot.

[Rob Carson]

It is, it is, it is. You know, listen, you can easily do that. I'm very careful. Even when I write just like emails to my kids I spell check. But they literally they. First of all, J. Jones appealed to the wrong court and then misspelled Virginia and sent the tour.

[Bryce Reeves]

Yeah, but he's not the only one. Louise Lucas had it on her statement, her public statement she came out with after the FBI rated her thing. She's a center tour. That's.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, that's true. That's true. She's an older and she's like a big cheese there. She had. Apparently she was involved with some weed shops. Right. And then she kind of higher up there in the state of Virginia. She's good buddies with. With Abigail Scamberglar and now she's.

[Bryce Reeves]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Well she was smoking some weed but

[Bryce Reeves]

you know they wanted 10:1 in redistricting she had 10 wheat shops so we were like. Yeah, 10:1 really came back to roost.

[Rob Carson]

But I'm thinking, I'm thinking she got some of her weed was being consumed by Jenny Jones and other.

[Bryce Reeves]

Listen, I wouldn't want to be in her shoes right now. She's got those Medicaid health facilities. I don't know if it's going to turn out to be something like to have in. In Minnesota.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. So I, I'm not familiar with that actually I knew about the weed shop. So she possibly involved with some chicanery with regard to Medicaid like they have in Minnesota, California and Maine and New York and all these other states. Really?

[Bryce Reeves]

Yeah. Home care stuff. And I don't. I stay as far away from that stuff as I can.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Bryce Reeves]

I try not to, try not to associate with people that aren't of the same cloth.

[Rob Carson]

And I tell you, I tell you but the Democrats reaction to this and they really are, they're like banshees being dragged into the pits of hell. I mean they're going Nuts. They say they want to, of all things, it's not going to go anywhere. It's outlandish on the face of it. They want to pass through the legislature a mandatory retirement age of 54 years so everybody on the Supreme Court goes away. That is just, I mean, beyond Banana Republic kind of stuff. What, what, what did it, what did you say to your colleagues when that was floated?

[Bryce Reeves]

Well, it, they certainly could probably do it. I don't know that, you know, there's going to be a lot of people inclined to deal with that. I think there'd be some lawsuits as well with that. And they probably lose knowing that Jay Jones is their attorney. You know, our, our minority leader, Senator McDougal is the one that stood up for all the Virginians and he brought our suit from the Senate and we won. So, you know, I don't think they have the same caliber attorneys on their side that we have on our side. We actually read the Constitution and try to adhere to it. So, you know, it is, it's, it's an interesting time in Virginia as these bills are coming, coming due. And she signed a lot. Some were seven day bills or they're probably, I don't know that Spamberger did anything with them. And they just become law. So it's anybody's guess, but they are in disarray. They're like fire ants down in the South. They're just piling on top of each other and wanting to bite anybody that gets near them. So, you know, I, I love it. I hope they spend a ton more money trying to fight this all the way to the U.S. supreme Court. I hope they spend millions and millions of dollars. Please spend millions and millions because they're going to lose.

[Rob Carson]

No, they're going to lose massively. And after. I gotta tell you, what was it like because they were such cocky little jerks when they, when they won. When they won and when you walked in after it had been overturned by the state Supreme Court, what was it like? What was it like in the state House?

[Bryce Reeves]

Oh, they were shocked. Nobody would come out with a statement. They were just shocked. Shock and all, buddy. It was like they got hit with a Moab. You know, they were still shocked. But the reason is Judge Kelsey, who wrote the opinion, is a Democrat. I won't say common Democrat. They're supposed to be agnostic. He was put on the appellate court by Mark Warner and 100% of the Democrats voted him on to the Supreme Court. And guess what? Kelsey did his job. He upheld his oath of office and to the rule of law be damned with politics. And he's got to come up pretty soon for reappointment. But he did the right thing. And, you know, thank God there are still people who, regardless of their political affiliation, took that oath and that's primary to their political party.

[Rob Carson]

I want to play some audio from Jason Miera as the former AG talking about the Democrat trying to appeal this to the Supreme Court, which is going nowhere. It was, it was approved by the, the, the, the, the, the referendum was overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court. They want to try to appeal it to the U.S. supreme Court. Here's Jason Mariaras.

[Jason Miera]

You have this scheme where they essentially want to unconstitutionally remove justices in Virginia. The Constitution of Virginia says you can only remove justices by impeachment in Virginia, in this case by arbitrarily lowering the, the retirement age. It's a, it is an un unconscionable scheme. It shows how little in the rule of law that they've been paying attention to just to pursue power. It shows why, candidly also why Abigail Spamberger is the least popular governor in modern Virginia history. She did a bait and switch. I call her Governor Bait and switch.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Jason Miera]

She governed as a moderate and she's campaigned as a leftist or she's campaigned as a moderate and governed as a leftist, which should be a message to all Americans for Democratic candidates running this fall.

[Bryce Reeves]

Up and down the line.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's, and I said this actually when, when she became the governor and started all this left leaning nonsense, including the gerrymandering she said she wouldn't do. She, the Democrat Party explained, exposed its flank not only in the state of Virginia but across the country. You cannot trust what they say. And I think she's done a lot of damage to the party. Go ahead.

[Bryce Reeves]

No, I would, I agree with Jason's statement, all but one. She's not governing anything. She's not leading or governing anything that the House and the Senate Democrats are in control of everything. She's not even managing chaos. So I don't think the woman could lead her way out of a wet paper bag at this point. And she's certainly not going to work with Republicans. We don't trust her. No, I don't break that trust. You lie to us. Why should we come to the table and believe anything you have to say? She hasn't tried to even build trust. Trust with us.

[Rob Carson]

It's like, it's like negotiating with Iran.

[Bryce Reeves]

Yeah, that's great.

[Rob Carson]

It is. I think, I think, I think I would actually believe the Iranians more than I do. Abigail spamberger, Listen, I want to continue the conversation on the other side of the break. Again. We've got state Senator Bryce Reeves on the phone from Virginia. We're going to come back in a minute. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Ghostbed. I am sleeping better than I've ever slept in my entire life. I used to think a mattress was just furniture, but I got a Ghostbed. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment, beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I noticed immediately my first night on a ghost bed, I slept for 10 hours. If you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging. That's your mattress talking. Here's another thing I love about Ghostbed. You get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you send it back risk free. Ghostbed is currently having their Memorial Day sale plus an extra 10% off for my audience.

[News Reporter]

Tonight, Virginia Democratic leaders are going to the U.S. supreme Court to try to overst overturn a state ruling striking down their new gerrymandered congressional map. The 4 to 3 decision at the Virginia State Court Supreme Court rather found that the Democratic controlled legislature violated the commonwealth's constitution by not following clearance simple rules for a public vote on a constitutional amendment. It's unclear tonight whether the Supreme Court will even take up the case.

[Rob Carson]

Doesn't sound like they will. But joining us on the NEWSMAX sideline, I'll pronounce it correctly this time, Virginia State Senator Bryce Reeves. I've been hearing from experts everywhere that the Supreme Court won't touch us with a ten foot pole. You can never completely eliminate the possibility. But what are your thoughts?

[Bryce Reeves]

I don't think they will. My colleague, my seatmates, probably one of the foremost attorneys in the state and he's a constitutional attorney. And it's like it's over. It's a state issue. We've handled it. We've done it by the book. Our Supreme Court has ruled and it's going to stick. But but I don't want to deter my colleagues from spending millions of dollars trying to pursue this one. Go pursue it. Hakeem Jeffries, if you're listening, spend $2 billion.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Just like you did on Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. So, yeah, Hakeem Jeffries is about is vowing a massive response to last week's Virginia Supreme Court decision. He says they'll be launching a multi pronged counteroffensive featuring new redistricting efforts in blue states, new lawsuits against gop, drawn maps in red states, and an all hands messaging push designed to pin rising costs on President Trump. This is, these are the death throes of a party in desperation. We had four major things happen last week. We had the SCOTUS ruling. On Monday, we had the butt kicking of rhinos in Indiana. Not necessarily relegated, but certainly finally with regard to the momentum of the Trump agenda. You had Louisiana and you had Memphis. All happened last week and of course what happened in Virginia as well. So all of these things portend the Democrats losing a whole lot of seats in the midterms. I mean, this really, if you look at it, the number of Republican seats that will be advantaged by this is going to be really hard for the Democrat Party to regain control of either house.

[Bryce Reeves]

I agree with you. But there's still one thing out there that people look at every day as they go to work and that's gas prices in the.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know.

[Bryce Reeves]

You know, the President's got to get this straight and we got to get oil pumping and I don't know why we don't release our strategic reserves and get these prices down. But maybe he's waiting till September, October, I don't know.

[Rob Carson]

I, it sounds like to me that he's getting ready to pull the trigger on some, some boom, boom in Iran. And I think that's probably what's going to have to happen. To be honest, these hardliners, they're able to feed themselves, they're able to stay in power. They're working with Communist China to extend this as possible because they want to affect the midterms by this. That's what's really going on here. And I think this president is losing patience with the whole thing. And I would assume the next step is going to be the promise that he made about bridges and, and power plants. What do you think?

[Bryce Reeves]

100%. Based on my military experience, I'm surprised we haven't done it yet.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, I know, me too.

[Bryce Reeves]

I think the bigger thing is just going on the ground and getting rid of that enriched uranium. I think that's going to be key once they identify where that is. I think, I think they will go ahead and by force and take that. And you know, to all the people that are listening that don't remember, I remember going back to Iran Contras a little kid and watching the Iranians take over the embassy. And I've watched they do proxy wars for all these years I've been growing up even while I was on active duty. And you know, these people just do the same thing. I mean it's repeat, rinse, repeat rinse. And Trump's the only one that's actually going to put his foot down. And you know, between him and Rubio and Hegseth, I think they're doing a bang up job.

[Rob Carson]

Well, there's a lot of good happening. He did a big presser yesterday about the massive decrease in prescription drugs. Trump RX is doing an amazing stuff. You've got, you've got J.D. vance going after massive fraud around the entire country. You've got the Democrat Party, their ability to steal elections by paying NGOs billions of dollars. And it coming back to Democrat campaigns that the wheels are falling off of that mail in voting is going to be secure. You've also got voter rolls being cleaned of dead people and illegals. So it's going to be very difficult for the Democrats to, to do what they've done. They're going to have to actually, I don't know, come up with an actual platform and they haven't for years. Am I right? The Democrat Party hasn't really campaigned on anything but we hate Donald Trump in years. They, nothing they're doing is appealing to the average voter.

[Bryce Reeves]

None, zero. They're not fixing education. They're still throwing more dollars at it. We're still seeing students not improve. Parents are realizing this. And you know, the truth is, at least in Virginia, let me say the optics are there. Everyone on either side of the aisle that I talked to in my district, they're not real happy with the leadership now. They don't, we still don't have a budget in our budget. Chairman from the Senate sides wrapped up in this FBI stuff. I think they all have buyer's remorse at this point. That's why she has the lowest approval ratings out of any governor since we've been in modern times.

[Rob Carson]

Don't you think? Don't you think, Listen, don't you think that the Democrats don't want 80 new taxes? I mean this, this governor and this, this legislature, they're, they're taxing things just because they don't have taxes on them. They want to do gym memberships. What the hell kind of sense does it make if you want your population to be healthy? If you're going to tax my friggin gym membership, what's the deal?

[Bryce Reeves]

Well, they're going to start. I remember a couple years ago, Delaware was taxing rainwater, so what the hell?

[Rob Carson]

Well, they tried that in Maryland too. Oh my God. I think what they did, they exposed their flanks so we can kick their butt. I really do. And I'm going to tell you just in closing here, Bryce Reeves, senator from the state of Virginia. I think, I think a lot of people are ready to give up. I moved here 10 months ago and I was like, well, screw this. If they're going to do this, I'll go to West Virginia. But now I see that Virginia has some fight in them and they ain't going to let this go quietly into the night.

[Bryce Reeves]

No, not our caucus. I think I told you that early on when we first got to know each other, that hey, we're fighting, we're down one, but we're not giving up, we're not going to yield to these guys. And they did a great job. I'm so proud of my conversation colleagues that brought this suit that won it. They're just the best attorneys in the country, I think, but they, you know, for love of country, they didn't get paid anything. They did it out of like if we didn't sue, nobody was going to sue. So that's why the Senate sued.

[Rob Carson]

I love it. I love it, brother. Well, I appreciate you being on, man, and have a little bit of fun with us today. God bless. Godspeed. I'm optimistic about being a resident of the great state of Virginia. Thank you, sir. Make sure to go to Revolution Reeves Va on on Twitter and get working on education in the state of Virginia as well while you're at it. Because I think the Democrats.

[Bryce Reeves]

I'm just a censitor. I'm not.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, you are. All right, we'll talk again soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

A new generation of Americans have to show up, stand up, speak up, fight, get into good trouble. Trouble to usher in an era of.

[Rob Carson]

Get into good trouble that means violence, progress.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

We went from the progress of emancipation to the backlash of Jim Crow.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. He's going back to slavery.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

The progress of the civil rights movement, dummy.

[Rob Carson]

You're, you're the minority leader in the the United States House of Representatives.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

To the backlash of mass incarceration. The progress.

[Rob Carson]

If you break the law, you got to go to jail. And that's that's the way it is

[Hakeem Jeffries]

of electing Barack Obama to the backlash that has resulted in the elevation of Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Here is Scott Jennings response to all of the caterwauling by the Democrats because you can't racially gerrymander anymore. You can't keep people of color on the thought plantation dependent on government services in high crime areas with poor schools. And this is a Berlin Wall moment. The SCOTUS decision last week was a Berlin Wall moment for the inner city black community. And I have been waiting for this my entire profession and it is finally, finally happening. And guess what? It's not going to mean any black people are not going to be able to vote.

[Scott Jennings]

In the case of Louisiana, you know, they didn't have a choice. The Supreme Court said their maps were unconstitutional. They had to redraw it. And so what they chose to do was move the. I think what they'll choose to do is move the House back to the fall and they'll leave the Senate primary in place, which is actually happening right now. So I get the argument about a little bit of confusion for voters. I mean, around the edges of congressional districts, you're always going to have some areas where, where, you know, one person on one side of the street, one person on the other. I live on the very western edge of a congressional district in Kentucky. Kentucky, in fact, if I might respectfully debate Bakari on this for a moment.

[Bryce Reeves]

Yeah.

[Scott Jennings]

To me I heard you say that people are losing representation. People are losing their voice. No voter has lost their voice at all. No one's been disenfranchised. Every voter in America before these court rulings could go cast a ballot this November and every voter in America, white, black or otherwise, can go cast a ballot.

[Bryce Reeves]

Ballot.

[Scott Jennings]

Right now. The lines may be changing, but every voter still has the same amount.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, 100%. It's just the Democrats riling things up, riling people up, making them believe that somehow they're getting their, their votes taken away. Using fear and intimidation to keep you on the thought plantation. That's what it's really all about. That's what it's really all about. So using fear and intimidation, as Democrats have done in, in racially germaned districts in America's inner cities that all have the same things in common. They all, they all are generally people of color, very poor schools, poverty, dependence, high crime, broken families and promises from the Democrat party that never get fulfilled. Promises from the Democrat Party that never get fulfilled. Generations of young people never living to see their 30th birthday, never living to see the American dream, but being told, hey, man, it's not your fault, it's not the Democrats party's fault, it's racism and Donald Trump, it's racism and whoever that. And it's all collapsing on the Democrats. And as I said, as they spin into hell, it's going to get uglier and bigger and we need to just brush them off and give them a little shove. Our number two of the Rob Carson show is right ahead. Don't go anywhere.
