This is the Rob Carson Show. This is our number two of the Rob Carson Show. We spent the entire first hour and I thought it was very extensive coverage of the Foushee diary where he said one thing to the public and then the other to his diary and he lied about everything and everything that we thought was, you know, those of us who were called conspiracy theorists, everything that we thought and knew in our hearts. Turns out it was true. The virus was not nearly as deadly as he said it was. He just played it up so he could be a mega low maniacal monster, a narcissistic monster who fed on the, the publicity and the, and the love that he got from the media and from celebrities. He loved it. He devoured it while so many people were suffering. If you want to listen to the podcast of the show, I would encourage you to do so after the, after the show. Just go to your usual podcast platforms, look up Rob Carson show and, and you know the, you know the drill, subscribe and whatnot. There's a reason why we have become the 10th biggest political commentary podcast in America. Number 41 for news, number 250 overall. Because, you know, there's a lot of common sense here, life experience and occasionally humor and when we can do it. But they just Anthony Fauci is a monster. And those who fell for it, you are, you are all damned fools. You are the, you are the people who stand, standing outside of the ark as the rain started falling down, pounding on the door, saying, let us in. Those, those of you who fell for all of the nonsense of COVID all the COVID prodigals protocols, all the masking, all the booster shots, you were standing outside of the ark, pounding on the door to get in, and we're not going to let you in. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Shame on you for believing such nonsense. You know, sorry, this is the way it is. There's a point where you kind of got to go, hey, I tried to tell you. I tried to tell you, but nobody would, nobody would believe me. So 9 11, the 25th anniversary is coming up. And Zoran Mandami, who literally has appeared with this, trying to remember the name of the, the podcaster who dressed like Mao who says that we deserve 9 11, didn't push back on that at all. We know what, what Zoran Mandami is. Zoran Mandami is an Islamist first. I told you this when he was elected mayor of the city York that he was. He was an Islamist first. He was playing the, the socialists, the young idiots of the socialist movement, the LGBTQIA plus morons. Because there's no reason why the radical imams of the city of New York and around the country would support such a man who was so down with the LGBTQIA community, with transgenderizing children, with homosexuality in general, which when you are a radical imam, you are vocal about not allowing it. And there are certain Middle Eastern countries where radical Islam will throw you off of buildings to your death for committing such sins against Allah. And they had no problem with Zoran Mandami glad handing, loving up to the LGBTQIA community and the radical leftist morons, the adult children of Generation Z, brainwashed in America's public schools and colleges. And so that's why they loved him and he became the mayor. He is purely anti Semitic. He, he does not believe that Israel is a country. He believes that Palestine, the, the Palestinians somehow are, are victims in all of this, even though they're the ones who elected Hamas to lead them. They are the ones who allowed missile batteries in schoolyards and hospitals and under hospitals and all of this. And they had the chance at a two state solution. They, they blew it. They absolutely blew it. And Zoran Mand down with them. And it's unbelievable that Zoran Mannami would suggest going to the 911 commemoration when so many families do not want him there. So many Gold star families of 911 do not want him there because he is glad handing the leaders of the Palestinians, including Hamas, who they are, they are tied to. And I don't know if you remember this, those of you who are, you know, Gen Zers, you won't remember this, but on 911 in in Gaza they danced in the streets as the people jumped to their deaths from buildings and burned alive. And they passed out candy to children. They passed out candy to children. And those are the people that Zoran Mandami sides with. Here's Zoran Mandami defiantly defying the the wishes of Gold Star 911 families and saying he's going to attend the 911 ceremony even though it is nothing more than a flag planting by radical Islam to show that we won. People who are survivors of 911 are calling on you not to go to 911 memorial services. I wonder how you feel about the fact that they're trying to keep you away. I will proudly honor the families, the
C
survivors, the first responders forever impacted by
B
that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year's 911 commemoration, reaffirming
C
that we will never forget the solemn
B
day felt by this is nothing more than an indignity. I put a video up last night on social media about the Islamists serving up an indignity. The Islamic call to prayer in American cities is serving up an indignity, particularly around Ground Zero, the anti Israel protests that are terrifying Jewish people in the city of New York and started right after October 7th. They are an indignity, they are intentional. They are to signal some sort of domination or victory and they haven't won and they're not going to win either. A lot of people are really quite angry in Washington or in the city of New York about Zoran Mandami. Newsmax was out at a major protest this weekend against Mandami and many people are calling for the removal of this man from office.
A
Well, here at NJO hatred we just have this radical belief that American leaders should love the United States of America. And you can tell that the New York people are just sick of the rhetoric that Zorami is spewing. He is spewing hate, he is spewing division. And that's not what we.
B
He also hates America. He is endorsing people like this Darazela Chevalier who has said that America is an effing disgrace, boasted about desecrating the American flag by using it as a napkin to wipe her filthy hands. We know who he is stand for.
A
It's not what anybody stands for who came out here today. We're here today because an Asian New Yorker was attacked. A Jewish New Yorker was attacked. And when radical Islam comes for west civilization, it does not differentiate if you are Christian or Buddhist or Muslim or Jewish. They are here to conquest, to conquer radical Islam as a threat. And Zorami is spreading that ideology through his rhetoric. You cannot.
B
And Amir, I'll tell you what I think. I think New Yorkers have had enough. You see Scott Libedo the. The artist yesterday. He is livid about the possibility of Zoran Mandami attending a 911 memorial. And he knows why it is such an affront to those who passed. Also, this has been gathering some steam. We even on in Newsmax too. We had someone, this Marley Hornick on our show to talk about the fact that a lot of the votes for Zoran Mandami were fraudulent. In fact, the number of fraudulent votes surpassed his margin of victory. Yeah. Yeah. Prominent election integrity activist has covered bombshell evidence suggesting that Zoran Mandami's 2025 election may not have been legit. Charlie Hornick, the founder of Real America Vote and New York Citizens Audit, has suggested the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or non existent voters. And this also extends to some of the other DSA candidates that have been elected as well. Here is Marley Hornick talking on WABC Radio a couple days ago.
A
Is that the New York City and the New York State Boards of Elections have no idea if Mamdani won the mayoral. I actually don't know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race. And I'm not here to say that he didn't. The problem we uncovered is that the New York City and the New York State Boards of Elections have no idea if Mamdani won the mayoral election either. Let's look at their official records. Did they or did they not qualify the voters?
C
Yeah.
A
7% of the voters in that election do not exist.
B
They don't exist.
A
They don't exist.
B
They could be dead. They're not even illegals. They just don't exist.
A
No, they don't exist. We also found that 6% of the voters have Social Security numbers that the SSA, the official government website, calls impossible and invalid. Right. So here's the issue. His margin of victory is 207,000 votes. We found over 230,000 votes and we have another 1.2 million voters to study.
B
Now it's interesting because without the Non existent votes and the people whose Social Security numbers are impossible. He wouldn't have won. It normally means you don't win. Here's Naomi Wolf talking about the same thing. Naomi Wolf, a great journalist.
A
There are now three different credible sources with three different data sets, all converging and reaching the conclusion that there is no way to say that Mamdani won. That there has to be an investigation. There has to be a new election. This election cannot be considered valid. So Marlee Hornick of Real America Vote and New York Citizens Audit. She's an election integrity expert. She has found in her research and her organization's research of the voting rolls, 1 million of 2.2 million voters. She's found, having reviewed a million votes, that 7% were non existent.
B
Yeah, there we go. We've already covered that. But here is Marley Hormik talking about how dangerous that Zoran Mandami is.
A
The mayor is a liar. He's lying. He's part of an international effort that is crossing all Western nations simultaneously to dispute, destroy our legacy of human rights and civil rights. To destroy our philosophical legacy. He is lying through his teeth. He is exactly the same age as James Madison was when Madison wrote the Federalist Papers. And he knows exactly what he is doing. This is why the founders were so adamant about the protection of the right of the United States citizens to have sovereignty over the law through elections. Yes, that are valid. Only real, valid, verified, qualified voters are allowed to participate. Because once someone is in office, as we see with this faker, they have the power of life and death over citizens lives, over our lives, our families, our children and the fruits of our labor. And this man is very, very dangerous. And he was not legitimately elected.
B
There you go. You know, that sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I think I'm kind of down with it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
C
Here's.
B
Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. When it comes to supplements, two things matter most. That it works and that you can trust it. I trust Relief Factor. We hear from people every single day whose lives have changed. And of course, we'd like you to hear a few of their stories. Mark, for instance, was in tears from his daily hand joint discomfort. But after a week on Relief factor, he felt 50% better. Now he barely even notices any pain. I can attest to this. It used to hurt getting up and out of chairs or even off the bench press at the gym. Not so much anymore. People like Mark make it easy to find out if you'll be the next person telling us a relief factor story and how it gave you your life back three weeks now for just $17.76 simply go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-for relief. They'll do everything they can to help. We hope you'll be sharing your story to relieffactor.com or 800 for relief.
C
Who would not want voter id?
B
Only somebody that wants to cheat. That's right. And the only way candidates who believe that we should not have the Defense Department, we should get rid of the Senate, we should not have an election of the President, rather have an appointment by the House of Representatives and I could go on and on, open the border. The only way people could win with that is by cheating. Thank you very much. And that is the Democrat socialists of America. We'll get to that very shortly. The bet guano crazy co chair of the DSA over the weekend said all of those things and yesterday the media presented to prominent Democrats with that and many of them said we can allow that in the tent. This means that your Democrat party, if you are a Democrat and if your Democrat party is down with that, you need to find another party or if you stay with it, you're freaking insane. And by your connection to those ideals, you are a seditious conspiracist against the United States of America as founded and you're going to get your rear end kicked up between your shoulders. Whether it be in November or beyond or beyond. Zoran Mandami is going to do socialized grocery stores. Now in the city of Chicago, seven Save A Lot grocery stores have closed permanently. Everybody's blaming President Trump and the reduction in the snap income. That's not the case. If your business relies on people spending government benefits at your store, you're going to be in a whole lot of trouble. These stores were in a lot of trouble from the very beginning. Save a lot in 2020 decided to get out of the retail business focus on the wholesale business in September. The following year it sold 23 of the stores through throughout Milwaukee, Ohio, Chicago to a black owned business called Yellow Banana. Prior to the sale, the seven stores in Chicago already had a terrible reputation for being dirty. Dirty. Dealing with rat infestations and selling expired foods in stepped Yellow bananas. CEO Joseph Canfield, the so called savior of the Save a Lot who immediately got into trouble. After purchasing the stores, Yellow Banana faced more than 20 lawsuits, liens and tax foreclosures totaling $2.8 million, the bulk of which was filed against Yellow Banana by contractors and vendors like PepsiCo and Frito lay who said they had not been paid for delivered goods. Yeah, sounds like a good start, doesn't it? Yeah, sounds like a really good start. In 2022, 2023, the city of Chicago handed Canfield's yellow banana $26 million redevelopment agreement that included a $13 million taxpayer finance loan to fix up 6 of. And apparently they blew it. I don't even know where the money went. The last of the renovated stores reopened in April of 2025, although two stores didn't meet key requirements of the deal and led to more than $50,000 in city penalties. So this damn stores lasted less than a year. Less than a year. And Zoran Mondani wants to do the same damn thing in New York City. But his store, his stores. Are you ready? His grocery stores aren't going to open for three years. Today I am proud to announce a collection of essential staples that will be predictably 30% cheaper at all 5 of our city run grocery stores. Yay. And all you gotta do is wait three years and then they'll be out of business within one year. After that, this core set of goods will include all fresh produce, meat and
A
seafood, along with 20 other essential items
B
like cheese, milk and bread. Yeah. And they will all be substandard. And they will all. They will all suck. Here's the store that I accidentally went into in Kansas City about a couple years ago. I went into the store and I was like, this is dystopian. It's like a zombie apocalypse. Grocery store, it was. All the shelves were empty. You could smell rotting meat and produce and there were flies in the air.
A
It's clear this sunfresh at 31st and prospect is struggling. This is the first section people see
C
when they come in.
A
There's barely any produce.
C
Yeah.
A
A lot of the coolers and shelves around the store look the same way.
B
Empty.
A
So shop.
B
Nobody is going. No vendor is going to sell produce to Zoran Mandami's state run grocery stores and lose. Lose their asses on it. If they do, they'll. They will sell them produce. They will sell them things that are close to expiration or things they can't get rid of.
A
Have been asking us if the store isn't closing, then where is all the food? A rotten smell comes through the door and anywhere you turn you'll see products that need to be restocked. No hot food or deli?
B
No. There was a time this store was on life support.
C
I could tell you today Right now
B
it's damn near dead.
A
Yeah, this is a new low even to people like Pat Clark who've watched the store go through its ups and downs.
B
30 days ago, hell, we looked like a grocery store again.
A
The city owns the Linwood Shopping Center. A nonprofit operates the grocery store. Public and private investments are in the millions of dollars.
B
Yeah, $22 million wor spent on that stupid store and it went out of business within a year. Jim Gossett did this about the save a lots in Chicago on the Rob Carson show. My kind of town. Chicago is crap hole to get gunned down. Chicago, let's go get shot. Grocery stores there are shuttin down
A
leaving
B

Coming up, the Democrats, a lot of high profile Democrats presented with this insane DSA platform of no military, no Senate, no election of the president, no border. I can go on and on and on. Some of them say there's room in the Democrat party for that. Scott Bessant is saying that is your Democrat party death spiral into hell. Who's been saying the Democrat party is doing that for years? Oh, yeah, this guy right here. Yeah, I'm pointing at myself. Tony Shaver joins us next. Don't go anywhere. This isn't the end of a fight. It's the start of one.

Before we get to our special guest, the president of Project Citadel, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shafer, here is Cory Booker saying that eviscerating Iran's military has made them stronger.
C
Iran has more leverage, more power on the world stage. Not only did he not devastate Iran, Iran is in a stronger position today in terms of that kind of leverage than they were before. And what is Donald Trump doing? He's doubling down on a failed war by increasing attacks this week and still has no way out of this morass.
B
Now, let's see what General Jack Keane has to say about that. Well, that's a gross exaggeration of what the facts are. I mean, clearly, Iran's military capacity has been reduced dramatically, and we're on a pathway, I think, to returning to major combat operations. And certainly, if we're able to get back to that, it'll be quite devastating on Iran. Not only will they lose what remaining military capability have, but they're going to lose every economic viability that they have to include their oil business and other businesses that provide an income for them. Our plan is quite massive. It exceeds everything that we did in epic fury and then some. All right, so, Tony Schaefer, first of all, welcome to the show. How are you, my friend?
C
It's good to be here, Rob. I'm doing well. I hope you're well as well.
B
Yeah. The absurd charge that Cory Booker made that Iran is in a Better position, stronger than it was before. I mean, it is. It is so absolutely ludicrous. It's like saying that Japan's in a better position after we drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for God's sake.
C
Yeah. I think Cory Booker's. I think his trans drugs are off. No, no, I'm sorry. I don't think he transitioned. I think he's just not smart.
A
So.
C
So, yeah. And I, you know, and as you know, I've had my disagreements with General Keane, but General Keane is completely correct, the way he's assessed this. So we have options. We have a lot of options. And it's one of the things about the left right now. They're saying, oh, we stopped because we're low on ammunition. It's like, no, we've hit all the targets we wanted to hit. We're looking for new things to hit.
B
Yes.
C
So we have to be careful from this point on, because we don't want to do permanent and very difficult to recover destruction to their economy. We don't. For any number of reasons. And, yeah, this whole idea of the Strait of Hormuz being a point of leverage. Yeah. That's all they got. And even that's fragile because it's really the threat of violence, not the actual capability of violence. It's what they're using. Because. Can they hit a ship? Yeah, they can hit a ship now and then, but, you know, in the big scheme of things, that doesn't really stop shipping. It makes it more difficult. So they are literally a nuisance to the world at this point. They have demilitarized. They basically have a handful of things they can control, and that's where we're at. And I think that's why President Trump took the pause that he did. It's not like we can't go on. The decision is we're going to give our forces a few days to recover. We're going to look at potential ground options regarding taking Key to Rain and holding it.
A
Yeah.
C
And that's where we're at.
B
Yeah. Okay, let's talk about that a little bit. Because he was. The President put up some memes about Carg Island. Taking Carg island, which is 90% of their oil exports, crippled the economy completely. And many have said that we cannot do that without putting ground forces on the ground, I would imagine. Well, I'm not going to try and guess, but generally, when we've put in ground forces in the last 20 years or so, the casualty rate among our ground forces far much lesser than those of the enemy. What are your thoughts of the possibility of that happening? What do you suppose the result would be? And how long would it take to actually take over the island completely?
C
So let's walk. So first, once the, once the President made the decision, it would take about 24 hours to have all forces lined up and ready to launch when the word is given. I suspect it would take probably about 12 hours to take control of the key locations, with the full island being secured within 48 hours. And then the issue becomes holding it. The holding it I don't think is going to be as difficult as the Iranians seem to think it is because it's an island. They got to get to the island to take it back. And they don't have, they don't have a navy anymore. So it would be problematic at minimum for them to actually try to figure out how they would get it back. And would they have some level of ordinance left regarding missiles and drones? Yeah, but we could also deploy counter missile, counter drone things as well. So it would be more costly to them by an order of magnitude than to us. I'm not saying we wouldn't have casualties. I'm saying we would be able to do things within a reasonable pace, taking control and holding it probably as long as we want.
B
Not exactly Iwo Jima is what you're saying.
C
No, no, I would not.
B
Yeah, Donald Trump, yesterday, I heard him speaking at length about avoiding, you know, the civilian areas, talking about the length of time it takes the longest time to rebuild the bridge. Second after that is power plants and how he has deliberately stayed away from bombing them for the sake of the Iranian people. Have you ever known of a president to be that deliberate when it came to civilian casualties, the damaging of the infrastructure at a time of war? Because I can't recall anyone being like, George Bush wasn't like that.
C
Even in our entry into Afghanistan back in 2001 and 2002, we weren't that we weren't as casual, as careful as we are being right now. I mean, between you and me, I'll just say it. There's nothing better than seeing a B52 doing carpet bomb. Don't think it would be helpful right now to do that. Like, yeah, I'd love To see the B52 just kind of laying a, you know, 250, 500 pound bomb, carpet all across, but we're not doing that. The idea here is to be precise, to be effective, and to hold back on any unneeded, unnecessary casualties. I'll say this, though, I think one of the reasons that Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington right now is a contemplation of the Israelis jumping back into the war. Because if you recall, Rob, the initial entry into the war saw that the Israelis decapitated the Iranian leadership. Wasn't us, it was them. And it was rightfully so because they were the ones who were grieving the loss of the Israelis murdered by Hamas that was funded by Iran. So they had every right to do that. Oh, by the way, you know, I think we could relook that because part of the issue is there are leaders right now in Iran who are preventing those who want to negotiate an end from being able to negotiate. Because the IRGC always comes back in. As President Trump said, they make an agreement and they break it in 10 minutes. Okay, maybe it's time we start eliminating those who want to stop the progress of getting to a negotiated settlement.
B
Well, you'll still. Yesterday I hear the President talking about the, you know, they, they really want to talk, they really want to reach an agreement. I say screw it. It's going to be the same crap. It's going to say be the same nonsense bull crap. And I was actually, I support our President very much, but honestly, I'm done with this crap, Tony. I'm done with this BS thinking that we can somehow to come some sort of agreement with these a holes because they're not gonna do it, they're not gonna abide by it. We've just gotta kill them. That's just the way it is.
C
Yeah. And look, this is not the first time we've dealt with a extremist fund, you know, fundamentally crazy regime. I mean, Look, World War II, the Nazis were a death cult, the Japanese were a death cult, Japanese empire. So a lot of folks said the Japanese remember, surrender. And they did. Just saying. So I see all these skeptics saying, oh, the Iranians will never surrender. Yeah, they won't surrender until they do.
B
All right, let's take a break and come back more with Lt. Col. Tony Shafer right after this on the Rob Carson Show.
C
President Trump spoke with Fox and Friends
A
this morning indicating that Iran must formalize a deal not to obtain nuclear weapons.
C
The President also discussed the Strait of Hormuz, saying, the only ones that get through are the ones that we want to get through. They're the only ships that get through, Brian. We have a blockade that's so powerful that nobody can get through. They tried, three or four of them tried over the last week. But, you know, we opened the blockade because we had the confines of a deal. So we did it and then we put it back. Because they broke the deal. They break the deal. We cannot have them break deals anymore.
B
Yeah, and I don't believe we can trust them. It's obvious, Tony, I was thinking, you know, we obviously have intelligence assets in Iran and they're able to do some things, but really, if we're going to win any sort of battle outside of the air war and the water war, anything on land, we're going to need the Israeli intelligence involved in Israeli federal special forces. Don't you suppose they'll have to do the heavy lifting on this?
C
Well, yes and no. There's several concepts on the table right now have been kind of leaked to the public. One of them is using the Baluch, the rebels in Pakistan, the Balucia Baloch region from coming in from the east and the Kurds from the west coming in, destabilizing at least on the edges, then using other special operations forces to help encourage an uprising of the Iranian suit. There's a lot of options. The Israelis will be involved in any one of them. And I think they all play a very key role. They do have effective intelligence, but I don't think we have to rely on them as a sole kind of partner. I think we have other options. But one of the things, this is laughable because we talked about it on your show, but somehow the Wall Street Journal quote unquote had an exclusive and I'm rolling my eyes, that they reported on Bahrain and Kuwait attacking unilaterally, using UAE intelligence, attacking Iran on their own. Well, we talked about that when it happened. It's like, I don't know where the people these people are. Anyway, my point being is we have Arab allies who are literally itching to jump into this as well because they've been attacked and they have the right to respond. So I do believe that this is helping. And by the way, I think, I think Iran really overplayed its hand. I really think, Rob, that they thought, oh, we'll gain the control of the strait and we'll be able to rule the roost, you know, to include against our Arab allies going forward. It's like, yeah, no, they're building like pipelines to go around so you don't have to worry about your nonsense.
B
Yes.
C
And, oh, by the way, you've just upset them to the point of where they're going to come into the battle with us because you've been attacking them. So I think the Iranians have really overplayed their hand. I'm Tired of the left skepticism and oh, we're losing. We're not losing. You need, you know, you can't change the momentum of 47 years of evil in just four months. It takes a little bit longer, you know. Yeah.
B
And you know, I got to tell you, the first day that, the day, the first day we killed the Ayatollah, which was, I mean, when was the last time you saw that? The first day of an engagement like this, you take out the leader of the country. And Chris Murphy on day one called it a disaster. The Democrat Party and the left in this country have sided with Iran even to the fact that they would choose to believe Iran's propaganda over the US Military. Updates on all of this, I've never seen anything like this. I don't know how they go lower than this, Tony. I don't know how do we go lower than this?
C
They go lower because by becoming the Soviet Union and channeling Joseph Stalin, that's how they become lower, because that's where they're going.
B
Let me ask you, let me ask about the Democrat Socialists of America because one, I mean it's, it's, it is insane. You had the co chair of the DSA come on the news on Saturday say they wanted to get rid of the Department of Defense. They want to get rid of the Department of War, among other things, including the Senate. A, that's not going to happen. B, doesn't that reek of sedition? Because if you say you're going to get rid of the military, what does it do? It means come in and take over the country and make it fall. That's what you cannot, you cannot exist without a Defense Department. It's absurd to think otherwise.
C
Was when, when I came in, we had to fulfill some paperwork. I can't remember the name of the form. It's a form we have to fill. I think it's the, the SF86. And basically you have to admit if you've ever belonged to or support an organization that's called for the violent overthrow of the US Government, These people are doing that. And so, yeah, I think it's time that we look at the laws, we look at how to use those laws. These people are a cancer. And I'm sorry if the Democrat Party has a quote unquote, big tent. The republic doesn't have to put up with the nonsense of people who literally want to end the republic as it is. And by the way, that's, you know, that's against the law. We have a constitution that says, you know, we got to sustain the Constitution and these people are nuts.
B
I want to ask you also, there have been a number of the soldiers, one who's currently in prison after calling for the assassination and Donald Trump saying he was the, the Antichrist. That was a few weeks ago. And then another one on his last day of service shredding the president. What should happen to people like that who go after the commander in chief, whether it actually be a physical threat or just a criticism of such a fashion.
C
So there are specific rules and laws which govern this. So for the threat, the threat is a threat, you go to jail, you go to prison. I think the guy's got, going to face a very long prison term regarding the use of the uniform and political circumstance. Again, that's, there's regulations which, which manage that. You don't even have to actually charge him. Under the ucmj, you can use what we call an administrative judicial process to basically remove him, remove his rank and, and basically punish him. So I would, I can think of a number of non judicial ways of just dealing with it. I think one thing you don't want to do is draw attention too much to it. Doing this without drawing attention. I would just basically hold a board. I've been on these boards, by the way, Rob. I've been on, been on this. You can hold a board, you can have basically a whole process. The guy, the guy gets due process, but he's reduced in rank and thrown out. And I would.
B
Absolutely, absolutely. All right, Tony, I appreciate you so much. Thank you so much for your, for your opinion today. Glad to hear from you. I hope what week number three of marriage is working well for you.
C
You. No, it is. No, we're back. She's back being a nurse doing surgical stuff and I'm back causing havoc.
B
So we're, and we're just wondering when she'll start telling you to do stuff and, and you know, build things.
C
No, so, no, I've got, I've got, you know, you're gonna laugh at this. I've got my, my, my, my house, my home wife and my work wife. Catherine just called me, so I gotta call Catherine back.
B
All right, all right, Tony, I'll talk to you soon, man. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson joke, My walk on music. Yeah, that's my walk on music right there. That is Smooth. S M O O V E. Smooth is the name of the, the group and I found it on Spotify.
C
I love it, love it, love it,
B
love it, love it. So The Democrat Party, they are nearly bankrupt. And here is Joe and Mika. I'm gonna have to have you listen to Joe and Mika. I apologize. Talking about the. The financial straits of the Democrat Party. Nobody wants to give any money to the party because they're bat guano crazy. So there's that.
A
We move now from things making a lot of money.
B
Right.
A
To things losing a lot of money. At seven minutes past the top of the hour, there is new report.
C
Has to be a DNC story on
A
the dire financial situation for the Democrats.
B
What an unsufferable couple of. Of just human beings. My God.
A
National Committee now less than could you
B
imagine at a dinner party with those
A
two 100 days until the.
B
You'd pray for food poisoning midterm elections.
A
The New York Times reports the Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders are asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm.
B
Yeah, they're being taken over by a bunch of spoiled entitled adult children who have advanced degrees and make between 30 and 60 thousand dollars a year and have no money. That's one of the reasons why they're broke. Plus they're intellectually and morally bankrupt.
A
To the paper spoke to three people briefed on the move who called it a bookkeeping maneuver. The paper highlights a cash disparity between the two parties, noting they had to
B
put DNC headquarters up as collateral for a loan.
A
President Trump controls a $400 million super PAC.
B
I know.
A
The Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million while the DNC is $2 million in debt.
B
Wow.
A
The news outlet Notice also has new reporting on the DNC putting its physical headquarters up for collateral last year in order to obtain a 50 million line.
B
This sounds like typical Democrat money management.
A
This is just helping invest in off year elections. The paper also reports that in a peak of frustration earlier this month, Martin threw his phone at the desk of.
B
Yeah, that's, that's great. Here's the problem again. The Democrat Party is morally and intellectually bankrupt. It has spent the last decade throwing a temper tantrum because we chose Donald Trump a couple of times, three times actually is how many times we chose him. And, and all they have is the lunacy that they have planted in academia. I said they were intellectually and morally bankrupt when Barack Obama was the president. They have no one to blame of themselves. They are dead on arrival. They are doing a death spiral into hell. We're going to talk about this on the other side of the top of the hour. In the last hour, the Rob Carson show today. Don't go anywhere. Well.
In this episode, Rob Carson provides an energetic, often satirical dive into several hot political topics, including the controversy surrounding New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani and allegations of fraudulent elections, urban socialism's failures, and US policy toward Iran. Carson is joined by Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer for an in-depth discussion on Middle East strategy, all delivered in his signature blunt and comedic style.
[01:31-13:09]
Fauci Diary Fallout: Carson briefly recaps the first hour's topic: Anthony Fauci’s “diary admissions,” accusing Fauci of lying about the true threat of COVID and likening his supporters to biblical fools:
“Those who fell for it, you are, you are all damned fools...standing outside of the ark as the rain started falling down, pounding on the door, saying, let us in.” (01:31)
Zoran Mamdani Critique: Carson launches into a spirited critique of New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani, describing him as “an Islamist first” who manipulates the left for political gain, specifically courting both radical Islamic and far-left, LGBTQIA+ communities.
9/11 Memorial: Carson is incensed that Mamdani insists on attending the 9/11 commemoration against the wishes of Gold Star and survivor families, viewing it as a “flag planting by radical Islam.”
Anti-Semitism Accusations: Claims that Mamdani is “purely anti-Semitic,” denies Israel’s right to exist, and sympathizes with Palestinians despite their election of Hamas.
Protests & Calls for Removal: Newsmax covered weekend protests against Mamdani, with calls for his removal.
“He is purely anti Semitic...He does not believe that Israel is a country...They are the ones who allowed missile batteries in schoolyards and hospitals...”
— Rob Carson (05:30)
[08:43–13:09]
Fraudulent Votes Charge: Marley Hornick (Real America Vote & NY Citizens Audit), via WABC, alleges that “7% of voters in [the 2025 NY mayoral] election do not exist,” and 6% have “impossible and invalid” Social Security numbers.
Naomi Wolf’s Support: Backs Hornick’s claims, stating multiple sources have found the election validity is in question.
“His margin of victory is 207,000 votes. We found over 230,000 votes and we have another 1.2 million voters to study.”
— Marley Hornick (10:28)
“This election cannot be considered valid.”
— Naomi Wolf (11:08)
“This man is very, very dangerous. And he was not legitimately elected.”
— Marley Hornick (12:02)
[14:23–20:41]
Chicago’s Save-a-Lot Fiasco: Carson details the failure of the city’s support for Yellow Banana, a black-owned business that took over troubled Save-a-Lot grocery stores. Despite large public investments, stores “lasted less than a year.”
Draws Parallel to NY: Warns that Mandami’s plan for city-run grocery stores will result in similar squalor and quick collapse.
“These damn stores lasted less than a year. And Zoran Mondani wants to do the same damn thing in New York City. But his store, his stores. Are you ready? His grocery stores aren’t going to open for three years. Today I am proud to announce..." (17:54)
Satirical Song: Jim Gossett’s parody song skewers Chicago’s situation ([19:54]).
“No vendor is going to sell produce to Zoran Mandami's state run grocery stores and lose their asses on it.”
— Rob Carson (18:30)
[14:23–20:11, 36:04–37:32]
DSA Platform Critique: Carson emphatically denounces the DSA’s platform, highlighting calls to abolish the Defense Dept., the Senate, and Presidential elections, calling these ideas “seditious.”
“If your Democrat party is down with that, you need to find another party, or if you stay with it, you’re freaking insane.” (14:25)
Sedition Allegation: Lt. Col. Shaffer notes the legal precedent for disqualifying individuals who advocate for violent overthrow of the government ([36:46]).
[24:59–39:28]
Iran and US Military Policy: Shaffer and Carson debunk Sen. Cory Booker’s claim that Iran is stronger post-US action, pointing out Iran’s severely weakened state.
“It's like saying Japan’s in a better position after we drop bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for God’s sake.”
— Rob Carson (25:02)
Military Strategy:
“There’s nothing better than seeing a B52...but we’re not doing that. The idea here is to be precise, to be effective, and to hold back on any unneeded, unnecessary casualties.”
— Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (29:33)
Regional Allies: Shaffer discusses the possibility of leveraging local ethnic groups (Baluch, Kurds) and the importance of Israeli involvement, but also underlines new alliances with Arab states like Kuwait and Bahrain ([33:23–34:54]).
"I do believe that [Arab allies] are literally itching to jump into this as well because they've been attacked and they have the right to respond. So I do believe that this is helping. And by the way, I think Iran really overplayed its hand.”
— Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (33:23)
[40:02–41:57]
Financial Trouble: Carson mocks the Democratic National Committee’s financial crisis, describing their need to ask vendors to delay billing and to use party headquarters as collateral.
Comparisons & Jokes: Several segments feature comedic asides about Democratic leaders and media figures Joe and Mika.
Carson on Fauci and COVID:
“Shame on you for believing such nonsense...There’s a point where you kind of got to go, hey, I tried to tell you.” (02:39)
On Zoran Mamdani at 9/11:
“Unbelievable that Zoran Mannami would suggest going to the 9/11 commemoration when so many families do not want him there…” (05:50)
Lt. Col. Shaffer’s blunt assessment:
“If you say you’re going to get rid of the military...It means come in and take over the country and make it fall. That’s what you cannot, you cannot exist without a Defense Department. It’s absurd to think otherwise.” (36:46)
On Dem Party Finances:
“Could you imagine at a dinner party with those two [Joe and Mika]? You’d pray for food poisoning.” (40:43)
Rob Carson’s tone is both combative and humorous, blending pointed political rants with parody and satire. He often lampoons his subjects while delivering news commentary, using loaded language and lively, direct engagement with current events and cultural trends.
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer brings measured, informed military analysis but engages in the conversational, sometimes irreverent banter established by the host.
This episode of The Rob Carson Show is an unfiltered blend of political outrage, satire, and earnest analysis. Carson calls out Zoran Mamdani for alleged anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism, details fraud concerns in his election, mocks urban socialist policies, and, with Lt. Col. Shaffer, breaks down Iran’s weakened strategic position. With parody songs, fiery rhetoric, and serious concerns about democracy and the future of the Democratic Party, the episode offers both entertainment and a conservative call to arms.
