5. BREAKING: Middle East Escalation & Analysis with Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer

[21:28-29:38]

Pentagon Strikes on Iranian Targets

[21:28-22:14]

• News bulletin outlines strikes on Iranian military positions after attacks on tankers and U.S. assets.
• Trump’s warning: “may no longer be reasonable” with Iran.

Expert Analysis: Is There Any Negotiating With Iran?

[22:14-29:40]

• Schaefer: The core problem is the IRGC’s entrenchment in Iran, blocking both political and reformist progress. As long as they hold military and political sway, “we’re always going to go back to the default position of having to use military force to counter them.”
• Rob Carson: “I’m just kind of getting tired of this. We’re going to do this, we’re going to do that. Well, let’s just get it done.” [24:17]

Broader Strategy: Beyond Iran

• Schaefer unveils the broader picture: U.S. response is as much about restructuring the global financial and security order in the Middle East as confronting Iran directly:
  • “This is about London. This is about the global financial system and the globalists who have been behind it.” [24:17]
• U.S. is trying to build a new Middle East order that “bleeds” Iran’s regime strategically rather than rushing into direct, massive war.
• Rob contrasts Bush’s “sowing the seeds of democracy” in Iraq with Trump’s “sowing the seeds of capitalism.” [26:00]

Path to Topple the IRGC

• Combination of economic pressure, military targeting, and internal dissent will eventually weaken the IRGC’s grasp, not an Iraq-style invasion.
• Schaefer: "You just got to wear them down because they're like a tick. That tick has been sucking the lifeblood out of the Iranian people for a long time." [28:02]
• Elon Musk’s Starlink and renewed access to the Internet could empower Iranian protesters and dissidents, aiding regime change from within.

---

6. Iran's Nuclear Threat & Psy-Ops

[32:01-33:26]

• IRGC claims that only acquiring a nuclear weapon will guarantee their security.
• Schaefer: “Deterrence is not within their lexicon. It’s all about trying to get the nuclear weapons to use them against their allies and our interests.” [33:17]

---

7. Ukraine-Russia War: The New Meat Grinder

[33:26-35:35]

• Reports: Russian front-line recruits have a life expectancy of just 20 minutes due to drone warfare.
• Schaefer: Both Russians and Ukrainians are suffering massive casualties; Western media may overstate Russian losses, but Ukraine is being bled even more, and Russia has a larger population to sustain losses.
• “The EU needs to be ashamed of itself because they're trying to get people convinced, oh, Ukraine is winning. They're not.” [34:48]

---

8. Fraud in Obamacare: RFK Jr. & Dr. Oz Expose

[36:05-38:06]

---

9. Patriotism and American Exceptionalism

[40:07-41:41]

• Bill Maher audio raves about America’s cultural and economic allure (“British people walking through Costco like they're touring the Vatican on mushrooms”).
• Recitation of American innovation and prosperity: “We have the strongest intellectual property, the most innovative R&D, … the highest number of Nobel prize winners and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the smartphone, the airplane, personal computers…” [41:07]
• Carson wraps with a signature reminder: “Happy Fourth of July. God bless America…”

[News Reporter or Commentator]

Hold it now.

[Rob Carson]

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

[Caller or Guest]

in America on air and on the World Wide Web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson show, hour number three of the show. Tony Schaefer, Lieutenant Colonel are going to join us at the bottom of the hour to talk about what's going on with Iran. I think we're gonna have to bomb the snot out of them. I think we'd have to kill every one of those IRGC scumbags there. That's what I think. That's what I think.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

So there you go real quick. And I had mentioned this on Friday, I've been doing a TV show and radio show with Newsmax, a TV show for going on seven years, radio show going on, I think six live stream going on, two in December. And I have always done it either from a home studio, which is a spare bedroom in my. In my home in Kansas City that I built, or this studio in old Town Alexandria, Virginia, where I built it. And this building is going to be torn down. God has a dark sense of humor. That said, I am going to be moving into the Newsmax building. Going to be moving into the building with my friends and co workers at Newsmax. And I'm very, very excited about it and it'll be nice to work around people. I don't know if you know this, but when I do this show, I sit in an empty room. It's not empty, it's full of stuff. But it's a dark room outside of this desk and the lights in front of me. It's a dark room. And I talk to myself. I know, I know, I know it's kind of. It's weird. It is. It is kind of weird that I. I am right now just sitting here talking to myself. But I know you are there. I can feel you there. I can read your comments on all the social media. So I don't feel like I'm doing this show by myself, but I'm quite excited about this. We're going to have eventually live studio guests. It's going to be like a classic radio show with my own studio and multiple cameras, hopefully, and, and the whole, the whole shebang, as it were. So that's going to be coming up. I'm going to be moving into a temporary studio by July 17th and then we will move to Newsmax new DC bureau and I'm going to be have a space reserved for myself there. And I cannot thank Newsmax enough. I cannot thank them enough for this vote of confidence. It is so. It means so much to me that Chris Ruddy gave me the chance that no one else would give me and I am not going to let him down. So there you go. Thought you should know. Abby Phillips, AKA Abby Normal. Did you see that Mel Brooks celebrated his hundredth birthday over the weekend? I bring up Abby Normal because that was the brain that they put into the Frankenstein monster in Young Frankenstein from Abby something. Abby Normal. And anyway, I saw a lot of clips from Blazing Saddles over the weekend. Saw a lot of clips from Young Frankenstein over the weekend. Mel Brooks talking about how they did not want to make Blazing Saddles. The studio said, this is too offensive. You cannot say these things. You cannot say these things. This is this and this. And Mel, he said, screw you, we're doing it. It is the most politically incorrect. It is a parody of racism. It makes fun of racism. It erases the lines between the races with Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder and it laug at racism. It's such a brilliant commentary, Blazing Saddles. But anyway, celebrating 100 years on the planet. There you go, back to Abby Normal, also known as Abby Phillips. Abby Phillips, of course, very mad because temporary production status for Haitians and Syrians has been made temporary and they got to go back to their country because it's temporary, you see. But of course she made it about race.

[News Reporter or Commentator]

Tonight, a split screen of the Trump administration's treatment of refugees as the Supreme Court gives the White House the green light to deport hundreds of thousands of legal migran like Haitians. We're learning now that at the same time the White House is rolling out the red carpet for white South African refugees. According to the New York because they're white fool times the administration is putting

[Rob Carson]

together because they are refugees.

[News Reporter or Commentator]

Welcome bags that include an Android tablet, an American flag, copies of the constitution and literature sanitizing American.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, because they actually want to come here and work and not live on welfare. Like 65% of the Haitians in South

[News Reporter or Commentator]

African history claiming that South Africa promotes discrimination against white people.

[Rob Carson]

Let me just give you an example of South Africa right now. Since the fall of apartheid. This is a very popular chant in. In apartheid South Africa. It's kill the Boer, kill the farmer. Meaning white people murdered them wholesale. It is a genocide. It's actually happening. This South African song has been igniting quite firestorm online. Once deemed a struggle chant, modern adaptations of it have kindled cries of white genocide. Spending the fires of. Of revolution. Yes, indeed, I'm a revolutionary. I do not regret. And I'm going to let them go and tell them that they are fanning the fires of the militants.

[Guest or Commentator]

Yes.

[Rob Carson]

The ANC is a militant organization.

[Caller or Guest]

Who left?

[Rob Carson]

Who left.

[Guest or Commentator]

Kill

to kill.

[Rob Carson]

Kill the. Shoot the boar. Shoot the farmer. Shoot to kill. See, there's the difference, Abby. Normal. The Haitians came here because of an earthquake 16 years ago. So there's that. Honestly, that's what you got. Whenever there's just racism, it's just, you know, you're gonna lose the argument because it's bullcrap, to be quite honest, kind of bull crap. Oh, Mark Kelly, Senator was an astronaut. I know it doesn't seem like he's smart enough to be that, but anyway, he said that Joe Biden blew up the border.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

I think it's also fair to say create. Created a cr. Southern border.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Guest or Commentator]

With how he handled the.

Yeah.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

The Biden administration did a bad job at the border.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. He blew up in the southern border and caused an invasion of illegals that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people because of fentanyl and the trafficking of a million women and children for sex and labor, among other things. And then all the rapes and murders and stuff that happened. It's pretty remarkable, kind of what happened in Great Britain, you know, with all those Islamist, you know, rapes of 250 women over there. 250. The white British women and girls raped and trafficked by Pakistani Islamists. And the same thing is happening here in a lot of different areas. So there is that. Then you've got this. This is the New York Post Democrat leader. Experts admit what fueled New York City socialist purge. And it wasn't affordability. State Democrat Party. Jay Jacobs admitted viewer voters feelings on ISRA helped propel Mandami's buddies to three primary victories, including firebrandzilla Godzilla Chevalier and former City Comptroller Brad Lander, who upset incumbents Rep. Representatives Adriano Espila and Dan Goldman. Both Esplay and Goldman backed the Jewish state, which may have motivated young activist liberals with pro Palestinian views to have staunchly opposed military action in Gaza. No, they're anti Semite. They're anti Semites. They are anti Semites. They want the Jews killed. They want Israel driven off of the face of the planet. That's what's so terrifying about it. The national civil rights group the Anti Defamation Leg blasted the insurgency as riding a wave of anti Semitic sentiment to wins in the Big Apple, the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. On Tuesday night in New York City, a movement built on anti Semitic rhetoric won three congressional primaries. One of the candidates was actually at a rally on January or October 8th after the October 7th massacre, cheering on the rapists and the murderers. That's what we're dealing with here. The statement noted that as Madami moved through a jubilant crowd a DSA victory party on the night of the primaries, attendees chanted from the river to the sea. The code viewed as a call to wipe out Israel because it is that. It is that. You got this. Chevalier. She attended an anti Israeli rally in Times Square one day after the Hamas horrific terrorist attacks. October 7th. DSA candidate Valdez, who is now a State assembly member, won an open seat in Brooklyn's Queens House district by defeating Brooklyn borough president Antonio Reynoza. A favored candidate, Lander, by the way, who is Jewish and a former DSA member, claimed Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. He was defeated by two term incumbent in a landslide. There you go. So that's what this is all about. And apparently the Democrat party is completely. They know it. Here is Zoran Mandami being asked about Chevalier's radicalism and she's absolutely radical. She, she scrubbed her social media to cover up here her bat guano insanity. All right, now if you thought that the, the guy in Maine, Platner, was bad, this woman makes him look like a piker. Kick profile, abusive to women, Nazi tattoo, absolute communist. Down with socialized medicine. I can go on and on. She is much worse now, you know,

[Guest or Commentator]

there's been a lot of attention. One of the candidates you supported, who won, who knocked off an incumbent Democrat is Dara Lisa Vila Chavier. She said some very controversial things, including calling for the abolition of prisons Couldn't say whether or not somebody who had committed murder should be in prison. Called for open borders against all deportations, including those of violent criminals.

[Rob Carson]

That should be a disqualifier and hopefully it will cause someone to have her not seated in Congress.

[Guest or Commentator]

Are those positions that the Democratic Party could win on nationally?

I think what the Democratic Party can win on nationally is a focus on working people.

[Rob Carson]

And I think that what just completely ignored her insanity I saw from Dariel

[Guest or Commentator]

Issa when I would walk the streets of her district, was a focus on

[Rob Carson]

she's a racist who doesn't believe in interracial marriage.

[Guest or Commentator]

She describes as the politics of life. She would talk about how we have to invest in babies, not bombs. She's now.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God.

[Guest or Commentator]

To represent what is one of the poorest districts in the United States of America. And what people in that district are exhausted by is a politics that has.

[Rob Carson]

How do you suppose it's going to get better in those areas if she gets rid of the police in prisons and doesn't put murderers in jails, you idiot. This man is a danger. I don't like him. Stephen A. Smith.

[Guest or Commentator]

I like him.

[Rob Carson]

I don't like him. I think he's a. I think he's Satan. I think he's Satan. Here is a little bit more from. Oh, this is. This is Megan Chevalier, whatever the hell her name is, talking about. Looking at things through a queer lens.

[Guest or Commentator]

We chose to tackle the issue of permanent exclusion for many reasons. As folks who operate within the black queer feminist lens, we know that the most.

[Rob Carson]

She operates in the black queer feminist

[Guest or Commentator]

lens should always be the center of the.

[Rob Carson]

She just became a Muslim center of our work.

[Guest or Commentator]

And we see this as part of our ongoing work to end broken windows policing, which criminalizes poor communities of color for merely existing. Trying to get to work on time is an arrestable offense when you don't have two dogs.

Okay?

[Rob Carson]

She has been in college for 12 years. She's never had a job. She's a spoiled, entitled little trust fund baby and she has no business representing us. And I will tell you now, we will not be ruled by her ilk. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Guest or Commentator]

Poor little Democrats.

[Rob Carson]

Are you guys okay today? I came in to check on you. Every time Trump does something good, you guys spazzed out. Would you guys shut up and let him work? You know, I think I'm kind of done talking about the Daycare 3 in New York. We're not going to be ruled by these people, you know, you can have 100,000 people vote for three radical socialist communists, anti Semites. You're not going to rule us and we will crush you. We have crushed this horde worldwide as it tried to creep around the world. And Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher and Pope JP II caused the, the Berlin Wall to fall. We ain't gonna let it be built here in these United States, particularly during the 250th birthday of our great republic. There you go. Now representative Republic is what we are, by the way, not a democracy. If you don't know that, you're a moron. That said, Joe Biden was heckled at a Democrat, a Democrat gala in, in the state of Maryland, which is a crap hole thanks to Democrats. It's, it's, it's never going to have its live, its potential because it's now bankrupt, I should say. The governor has turned a surplus into a deficit. They've got a bridge that was knocked down, was going to cost $2 billion to fix. He contracted it. Somebody said it was going to go to $9 billion and they just fired the contractor. So the bridge abutments haven't been even been put in and it's kind of like high speed rail and less. Moore also lied about his military service. So Maryland has to be rescued, but you know, we'll see if it happens. But here is a bill, or I should say Joe Biden, who Democrats wanted, thought he could be the president for another four years and obviously they were willing to push a corpse over the finish line. Here he is talking at this, this gala, this, this gala in, in Maryland. Here we go.

[Guest or Commentator]

I know the Democratic Party, I fought for my whole life. I'm still fighting for it now. That's why I'm here tonight. Just here tonight to support Maryland Democrats that I travel to. South Dakota.

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah.

[Guest or Commentator]

South Carolina. Nebraska. Pennsylvania.

[Rob Carson]

Pennsylvania.

[Guest or Commentator]

Fighting for Democrats up and down the ballot and all over this country. Just like I've done my whole life.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Bill Maher]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

While you were getting money from the communist Chinese.

[Guest or Commentator]

I know the story of the Democratic Party. Yeah. I've seen a time to triumph and trouble.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Like it is in right now because I've lived it.

[Guest or Commentator]

I also know the story of America, like many of you.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You hate America.

[Guest or Commentator]

It's a constant push and pull between peril and possibility.

[Rob Carson]

Let's move forward a little here.

[Guest or Commentator]

And we went into it every single time. We come out stronger than we went in time and again throughout our history.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Well, you made it weaker by opening the southern border and then you got a lot of money for the communist Chinese because you're the most corrupt president in the history of the frickin country. There you go. This is brand new from Jim Gossett as Obama.

[Caller or Guest]

Joe Biden is a ramblin man

[Guest or Commentator]

Trying

[Caller or Guest]

to form a sentence at doing the best he can. What Joe said in Maryland no one could understand.

[Rob Carson]

Pudding for brains.

[Caller or Guest]

Cause he was born a Ramblin man.

[Guest or Commentator]

Yeah.

[Caller or Guest]

Joe Biden gave a speech in Hand over Hanover. He stuttered and he slurred most every word.

[Rob Carson]

Cause his brain doesn't work.

[Caller or Guest]

Nothing Joe Biden said made any sense.

[Rob Carson]

No, it never did.

[Caller or Guest]

It was really quite absurd.

[Rob Carson]

Come on everybody.

[Caller or Guest]

Joe Biden is a rambling man. His speech was doomed before it began. They wanted him to cut it short much sooner than he planned. Cause he was born a Ramblin man.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, he was a joke. He was a joke. Pelosi said he loves on Mount Rushmore, Mount Mush. Mount Rushmore on is what it was. I mean, honestly, what an embarrassment. I mean what an embarrassment of a human being. Filthy, rotten, corrupt, awful, awful ban. Just an awful human being. There you go. You know, I had mentioned that the Democrat party is going to become their Confederate party. Right now. They are. They want to bring down the. The country is founded. And as they are defeated, the more violent and more dangerous they're becoming. And now they have moved into communism and anti Semite territory. This is a very dangerous place. This is Victor Davis Hansen about the Democrat Party.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Right now we're getting to the point

[Guest or Commentator]

now the left is entering the era of sedition, insurrection. We had Karen Bass go to a park and confront ICE agents who were federal law enforcement people obeying and enforcing and trying to restore the legitimacy of federal law which surpasses municipal and state law. Remember? And she said, you got to get out of my city. This is insurrection. Why is it happening? We've said in the past that part of it is that the democratic agenda nobody wanted. There were 80, 27, 30 issues. And as a result of that, they lost the Congress. They lost the White House. They lost of course, most cases, the Supreme Court. So they don't have any power. So they're frustrated.

[Rob Carson]

But yeah. And this is why they want to get rid of. They want to pack the Supreme Court. They want to have illegals vote. They want to unlimited mail in ballots. No secure elections. I can go on and on. The Democrat Party can't live. They cannot win on anything. They cannot win anything. And when they, you know, like for instance, I played this earlier today. Let me see if I still have it.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

This is your Democrat party in Texas. Okay, but jokes on that. This is your Democrat party in Texas. Next time they say that James is trans. We're all trans.

[Caller or Guest]

Yay.

[Rob Carson]

We're all transgendered. When they say James is a gay tofu eating vegan. We're all gay tofu eating vegans. We're all gay tofu eating vegans. And listen to this while I talk about the Democrat party doing a death spiral into hell. And when they say James is going

[Caller or Guest]

to hell,

[Rob Carson]

We'll say we're all going to hell.

[Guest or Commentator]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah. Is that, isn't that just kind of strange that, that he said that when I've been talking about how the Democrat party is doing a death spiral into hell and they're paving their way with things like transgenderizing children, you know, do you see what I mean? Do you understand this now?

[Guest or Commentator]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. It's, it's serendipity. It's, it's, it's God versus good. And they're on the wrong side of both. Let's take a break and come back, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaver to talk about Iran. What's next? Don't go anywhere. The Rob Carson show is presented by Paramount plus the Agency. All episodes now streaming on Paramount. In a world of espionage, truth is a moving target.

[News Reporter]

Breaking news in the Middle east and a fresh warning from President Trump as the United States conducts 10 strikes against multiple Iranian targets. The Pentagon releasing this tactical video showing the destruction. This back and forth is in response to another Iranian attack against a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also also conducting drone and ballistic missile strikes in Bahrain and Kuwait. The regime is threatening a complete halt to negotiations with the United States. And President Trump is now saying the United States may no longer be reasonable and quote, we will be, will be forced to militarily complete the job. All of this putting long term peace talks in jeopardy this morning.

[Rob Carson]

And this is what I said, you can't negotiate with these, these seventh century throwbacks. There is no negotiating with the irgc. They need to be wiped off the face of the planet. That said, I want to hear what Lt. Col. Tony Shaver, the president of Project Sentinel has to say about this. Colonel, thank you so much for finding the time. I know it was late notice, but I really appreciate your expertise on. On a moment's notice.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Good to be here, Rob. Thanks for having me.

[Rob Carson]

So what do you think, man?

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

So the IRGC continues to be the real issue, and it has been since the beginning of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 79. So nothing has changed. What has happened is you have a number of groups within Iran that are, I think, willing to negotiate, that have the interest in finding a solution. But anytime we make an agreement or agreement is kind of, you know, framed, the IRGC gets a vote, and the vote is always no and it's destructive. And so same in Lebanon. There was an agreement there that was put together that would have seen the Lebanese military come in and start establishing legitimate security capabilities to basically remove Hezbollah. And that's now fallen apart as well. So the bottom line is, as long as the IRGC continues to have both political influence and the ability to affect things militarily or through terror, you're really not going to see any permanent, effective framework. We're always going to go back to the default position of having to use military force to counter them. And that's where we're at again.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, they're broadcasting telescoping to us. They cannot be negotiated with. I got to tell, I'm just getting impatient with all of this. I love this president. I support this president. I think he's given. And the reason why I know why the president has not bombed the snot out of the bridges and the power is because he wants to protect the Iranian people. But I'm going to tell you, I'm just kind of getting tired of this. We're going to do this, we're going to do that. Well, let's just get it done.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Yeah. I think part of it is he's doing. And Blaine and I, Blaine Holt and I have talked about this, and I think you'll probably say a similar thing. It's not about Iran. It's really not. As much as that sounds crazy. This is about London. This is about the global financial system and the globalists who have been behind it. So much of what we've seen in the past, over the past 50 years is essentially the one group that won no matter who lost, is the bankers, his lords of London. So what he's trying to do here, and I understand why it takes some patience to deal with this, because a lot of us are frustrated, is he's letting this kind of play out he's trying to reorder the way the nations, the Arab nations function. For example, Marco Rubio was actually in the Gulf last week talking to Oman, Qatar, the Bahrain, and basically saying, look, we're going to re establish some format that will benefit you that's outside of opec, outside of the gcc, and obviously will be something that we need your help on to defeat Iran. So basically, I had to do a lecture down in New Orleans to the Navy League, where I basically started off my lecture by saying, basically having a picture of the golf up. And I said, what do you see? Because it's a picture without any of the borders. It's just, just, you know, and they said, well, it's the Middle East. Like, no, it's land. President Trump sees it as another development to develop. So that's why he's doing what he's doing. He's trying to reestablish a different framework for the entire Middle east. And that requires essentially the Arabs to sign a board and for Iran, for better, for worse, to be bled dry at a pace that the President chooses.

[Rob Carson]

You know, it's interesting. I remember when we were going into Iran, Iraq, I should say, and I remember Glenn Beck said, you know, we're sowing the seeds of democracy. Donald Trump is not sowing the seeds of democracy. Donald Trump is sowing the seeds of capitalism.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Exactly. Yeah. And so, and by the way, I think that was a fool's errand. You can't, you can't give democracy to a society that's fundamentally not ready for it. It's a maturity thing. But, yes, so it's kind of like, look, we're, and we've talked about it. This is a form of the Venezuela model on a larger scale where basically it's like, look, dude, to the government of Iran, look, we don't care how you kind of organize things, don't kill your people, don't do things to upset your neighbors, and you have oil to sell. We want to help you sell it. That's kind of what it is. And oh, by the way, ignore lords of London and those who have tried to control by intimidation and financial. You know, Scott Besant is one of the lead soldiers in his whole global effort to reset things.

[Rob Carson]

Just saying, isn't that, isn't that interesting? That goes to the point of sowing the seeds of capitalism, that Besson is so involved, that Besson is so involved that he's a general in a military operation. It should give you every indication and honestly, what is going to mean anything to the neighboring states. Is it, you know, following the tenets of democracy or becoming an engine of capitalism and growth and investment? What's going to work better? And clearly the latter is true, and Trump is trying to do that. How do. And I know that Blaine Holt, a general, is more optimistic about the toppling of the irgc. How does that happen? Is it Israel intel, is it the Kurds combination that we don't have boots on the ground? We're not going to have boots on the ground, but Israel has more of a proximity and an ability to do that. Do you suppose that's the next step?

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Well, that's what we hit recently. We hit IRGC targets are related to ammunition dumps, command and control, things like that. And there have been significant protests all through Iran right now as well, so.

[Rob Carson]

Good.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

I think it's one of those things. You just got to wear them down because they're like a tick. That tick has been sucking the lifeblood out of the Iranian people for a long time. And to start getting the tentacles or whatever metaphor you want to use out, it's going to take some time and it's going to take some effort. So I am confident the President understands that. Yeah, we got to get this done. Look, I just got. I filled up my tank yesterday for $3.39 or something. Nice prices coming down. Everything's going in the right direction. We just have to have a little bit of patience to watch, see this through. And yeah, I do believe wearing down the IRGC by a combination of economic sanctions, military force and political pressure, it's going to have an effect positive to the outcome. Helping the Iranian people and bringing the Iranians into a market where they can work with their Arab allies.

[Rob Carson]

I also heard the return of the Internet using Elon Musk, that will make a gigantic difference. Do you know about the progress of that happening?

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

So this has been going on for a while. Elon Musk has been devoted to trying to establish around governments the ability of people to communicate. He's devoted to that. So Skylake, I think I got. So I think he's being very effective in getting enough satellites in place that'll be effective. And I think they're getting ground units in as well. This is a massive effort. Billions of dollars are involved and he's doing it via, you know, by the way, according to Left, you know, he's not a good trillionaire. Just saying, you know.

[Rob Carson]

All right, so I've got a couple more things I want to cover. On the other side of the break, Tony Shaver can you hold on?

[Guest or Commentator]

On?

[Rob Carson]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. We're going to talk about irg, saying, say they have no choice but a nuclear bomb. And then also, most Russian recruits have a life expectancy of 20 minutes. We're going to talk about that on the other side of the break. Let's take that break. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Ghostbed.

[Guest or Commentator]

Clever.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

I love all sorts of music, especially the two country and western, both. That's a joke. That's a joke.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. Absolutely. All right, well, let's. And by the way, I love some new country too, by the way. Colter Wall. I mean, there's some good stuff out there. Some good stuff out there. I got an American. I got a cowboy hat. A Ford cowboy hat. Because I got a Bronco this weekend when I was at Walmart.

[Guest or Commentator]

That's cool.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

No, I. I love. One of my favorite artists is Floyd Axton, who also played in.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah, he was in it. He was. He was in. Wasn't he in Gremlins?

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Yeah, he was a father in Gremlins.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. I love that old school, man. I grew up on Hee Haw. I know all those songs, man. I Know all those. All right, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer on to more serious things. This Iran has no choice but a nuclear bomb. According to IRGC media, the outlet says that Iran must achieve nuclear deterrence to gain what it called the calm needed to ensure other disputes can be resolved through negotiations. Are you out of your freaking mind? See this? We've made no progress. They're playing us.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

So this is part of their continued strategy of trying to pretend they're capable and able to do things they're not. This is one of those things where, again, I think we have done poorly is countering their message. Stuff like that. We should be countering with information operations. I don't quite understand why. The Iranians have been masters. And this is another thing they're doing. And it's one of those things that until we get our own messaging game together, they're going to say stuff like this and some people in the world are going to believe it. It's been made abundantly clear they will never be permitted to have a nuclear weapon because as long as the mullahs are in place, theocracy is in place. Their belief system is they have to get the nuclear weapons to use them, not the deterrence. Deterrence is not within their lexicon. It's all about trying to get the nuclear weapons to use them against their allies and our interests.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, ridiculous. I saw this headline and I thought about you because you are a man who's devoted his life to military service and I just wanted your thoughts on it. Most Russian recruits have a life expectancy of just 20 minutes on the Ukraine front lines showing how quickly Vladimir Putin's troops are falling victim to drone warfare. According to chilling reports from Moscow historian Peter Francopan in an op ed Foreign Policy citing Russian military bloggers. You as a soldier. This is just. This is. This is a meat grinder, isn't it?

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Yeah, it is. But what. All the things you just mentioned are manufactured. Massive numbers of Russians dying. Absolutely. Both sides.

[Guest or Commentator]

Okay.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

But what, what's happening right now is a massive information operations campaign by the EU and Ukraine to create the perception that the Russians are losing bigger than Ukraine. So what you may said is probably true. Yeah. But it's worse on the Ukrainian side. So both sides are losing massively. And this is where what's happening is. The EU is trying to promote the Ukrainians continue to die. That's what it is. And the EU needs to be ashamed of itself because they're trying to get people convince, oh, Ukraine is winning. They're not.

[News Reporter or Commentator]

Not.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

It's a slog. Both sides are losing massive numbers of men. And I'll say this, as much as I think, I don't dispute what the Russians are losing. The Ukrainians are losing equal numbers. And I tell you, the Russians have an order of magnitude more people to throw into the meat grinder than the Ukrainians do.

[Rob Carson]

Just saying it, really. It almost reminded me of World War I.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Yes, exactly.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I lived in Kansas City and the World War I Museum, and it's become increasingly a forgotten war. But that's what it reminds me of, man. It was 40 million troops died in that conflict, and it just kind of reminded me of that.

[Guest or Commentator]

It's just.

[Rob Carson]

It's. It's awful. It's just awful. Tony, I appreciate you being on the show, man. Where can people find all of your glorious work?

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

Just check us out on X My T Spooky. And they'll be able to find out stuff from there. Thank you for having me.

[Guest or Commentator]

All right.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you, brother. I appreciate you. Let's take a. No, let's not take a break. Thanks for the phone call. Not time to break. It's not time to break.

[Guest or Commentator]

Stop it.

[Rob Carson]

Stop it right now.

[Guest or Commentator]

Okay,

[Rob Carson]

here's something I'll make you feel good about. You know where all of our money has been going? This is Dr. Oz and RFK Jr talking about the million people on Medicare who are fraudulent. It actually. This is actually true.

[Guest or Commentator]

Hold on one second.

[Rob Carson]

Let me just grab this real quick. Here it is. RFK Jr.

[Guest or Commentator]

The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Obamacare was a massive money theft operation.

[Guest or Commentator]

Large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails. All partisan lawfare blocked common sense efforts to protect taxpayers.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Guest or Commentator]

Today Dr. Oz and I are exposing one of the latest examples of fraud that we've uncovered. More than a million people enrolled in Obamacare without Social Security numbers on file.

[Rob Carson]

How in the hell does a government allow a million people to enroll in Obamacare without spending Social Security numbers?

[Guest or Commentator]

That is a glaring warning sign of fraud. If even a single person was on Obamacare with no Social Security number, we should have found out. Why are we paying people?

[Rob Carson]

Because it's making Democrats rich and keeping them in office. Duh. Here is Dr. Oz.

[Dr. Oz]

Shady insurance agents and other bad actors have been getting paid to enroll unsuspecting Americans in health plans they never signed up for. These rogue agents have been flooding into healthcare.gov that's the Obamacare marketplace. They submit applications for fake people, enroll stolen identities, all to collect millions of dollars improper fees from insurance companies for selling plans they never legitimately sold.

[Rob Carson]

Obamacare was supposed to fix everything. And the Democrats are still being and whining saying that Americans don't have health care and their big signature legislation ends up being a complete scam.

[Guest or Commentator]

We're also working with insurers to cancel every policy that should never have been issued and recover every taxpayer dollar that was fraudulently paid out.

[Dr. Oz]

We're also scaling up our enforcement efforts to prevent these bad actors from finding new ways to manipulate the system ahead of the open enrollment system this fall. Because we know the bad actors don't simply stop when you cut off one vote.

[Rob Carson]

I told you that we were going to find out that the United States of America was as or more corrupt than a former Soviet Union. But with a $7 trillion annual budget. Budget. And I was absolutely right. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Bill Barr says America is awesome. I know I've got that coming up. Also, highest poll numbers ever. According to Newsmax News, President Trump touted what he called the highest approval ratings ever on Monday, arguing Americans are resound, rewarding his administration success in ensuring that Iran does not attain a nuclear weapon.

[Guest or Commentator]

There you go.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. And the Democrat party is becoming communist and anti Semitic. Good luck with that. Good luck with that. And vegan and non binary and whatever. Transgender. Buy gold. Put some silver in your pocket. I know you're thinking everything's expensive. How am I going to buy gold? Well, here's the deal. Take your 401k that's doing nothing and get in touch with your 401k provider and get somebody on, from, from, from Birch Gold and they'll hash it out and you just transfer that money over and buy some gold. There you go. That's what I did because I'm going to sit on my gold for 10 years and what has it done in the last 10 years went from $1,200 an ounce to $5,600 an ounce in January. Then there was a sell off. Now it's hovering in the fours. Yeah, that's why I bought gold. You should too. And right now Burt's Gold is offering you a free commemorative 250American 251 ounce silver round for every $10,000 you invest in gold by July 10th. Text ROB to 989898 to take advantage of free America 250 silver with qualifying purchase before July 10th. Again, text ROB to the number 989898 today. New numbers out today about Americans and patriotism and the party that doesn't think America is great is the Democrat Party. There's no doubt about it. They hate America. But the world is coming here and finding out how awesome America is. Here's Bill Maher talking about soccer fans

[Bill Maher]

who love just regular people looking around and saying, wow, these people live like rock stars. Look at this Japanese guy trying Texas barbecue.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, first barbecue. Amazing. Amazing.

[Caller or Guest]

I love you.

[Bill Maher]

British people are walking through Costco like they're touring the Vatican on mushrooms. One European guy said, this is the biggest tourist attraction I can have as a European. It's like a museum. He was talking about Walmart.

[Guest or Commentator]

I know.

[Rob Carson]

It's freaking amazing. I was there this weekend. I bought two cowboy hats. It was pretty fun. Here he is talking about what they don't have over there.

[Bill Maher]

There are thousands of people from countries we think of as prosperous and advanced who have come here and are now saying they can no longer go on in life if they can't get ranch dressing.

[Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer]

There you go.

[Rob Carson]

And here is a laundry list of awesomeness from America from Bill Maher.

[Bill Maher]

We have the strongest intellectual property, the most innovative R and D, the highest gdp, the most valuable companies and the most trillionaire. Now, look, maybe it's a coincidence, but I think it's something in the American system and character that we have the highest number of Nobel prize winners and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the smartphone, the airplane, personal computers and the party Siiz bag of extra Flamin Hot cheetah. Happy Fourth, everybody.

[Guest or Commentator]

There you go.

[Rob Carson]

Happy fourth of July. God bless America has founded Donald Trump, you guys, and our military. And until tomorrow, which is Tuesday, do not catch the stupid. I'll see you then. The Rob Carson show is presented by Paramount Plus.
