Episode Overview

This episode of The Rob Carson Show is a spirited and sardonic look at recent political news, cultural phenomena, and the intersection of crime and government in Minneapolis, all filtered through Rob’s trademark blend of humor, satirical outrage, and right-leaning commentary. The conversation examines the Minneapolis controversy over government fraud, the cultural malaise underpinning viral stupidity (i.e., the Tide Pod challenge), and the broader impact of political narratives and social contagion, particularly among “liberal women.” Guest Mary Walter joins for a discussion that ranges from law enforcement tragedies to the sociology of midlife divorce, always with a comedic spin.

Summary Tone and Style

Rob Carson combines hyperbolic humor, outrage, ridicule of “woke” and left-leaning narratives, and rapid-fire banter, especially with co-host Mary Walter, to create a show that is both a comedic takedown and a populist rally. Cultural and political critiques are often caricatured, with tangents into midlife crises, dating culture, and “signs of the apocalypse.”

[Rob Carson]

Hold it.

[Caller or Guest]

Now.

[Rob Parson]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Parson Show.

[Rob Carson]

And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday, the first Friday for me, back on the year in the new year 2026, which will be the greatest year in our history. The Democrat Party, they think they're going to win both houses of Congress. They have no ideas. They have nothing. But being anti Trump to the point that they even thought that getting rid of a dictator in Venezuela was bad. I mean, honestly, of all the damn things, how would you, why would you whiz on that parade of all of the things that you could whiz on Democrats? My God, you people are so out of your nuts, out of your nut. So what we're going to do, we're going to overwhelm them with joy and patriotism and make it the greatest year in American history. I got a lot of stuff I want to get to. I did mention this last hour, Greg Gutfeld. I just think Greg is great. I know he works for the competition, but he is really wise man, brilliant writer and he distills thoughts beautifully. And I admire him greatly. I admire him greatly. Here's what he had to say about the, the insanity of the Democrat Party, you know, and as I mentioned this for if you, if you, those who believe atrocities, absurdities will commit atrocities. That is a mantra. That is Voltaire, I believe, said that. And, and this is the mania of the left. They are made to believe absurdities and they commit atrocities like changing the second sex of children. I mean, it just, if you, if you still believe that you're freaking insane. You are insane. If you believe that you're nuts. And I'm not screwing around. I'm not. This is not being, is not a joke. Like you're crazy. You're freaking nuts. And if you can do that, you will do anything. If you believe that, you will believe anything like Trump supporters are MAGA fascists and enemies of democracy or Trump is Hitler. You're sick in the frigging mind. And you are, you're in history is not going to be kind to you and neither is this administration and me.

[Caller or Guest]

Why would a mother of a young child, a widow, consistently participate in aggressive confrontations with law enforcement? Why did she feel emboldened to break the law in an endless theater of chaos, swept up in the latest demonization narrative that eggs on illegal and stupid behavior? Blame ice. She wasn't the target.

[Rob Carson]

They were.

[Caller or Guest]

And it was believed by the people involved that it would be fine, that there would never be any consequences. It was all part of this mania, this mania that we've talked about that cuts across a whole bunch of issues, whether it's Trump, trans, blm, Israel. The table is set with this manic hysteria where radicals believe that they gain leeway by branding the rest of us as an existential evil. You know what made this made me think about the Tide Pod challenge. Do you remember that in 2017 when stupid teens were filming themselves eating Tide Pods and then they get poisoned. Do you know what the. What Tide's response was? Use for washing, not eating.

[Rob Carson]

There you go.

[Caller or Guest]

The point being, if you're going to eat Tide Pods, there's not much else we can do except tell you not to do it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, pretty much. It is ridiculous. And if you don't believe me, listen to this montage of insane women. And women are. And I'm not saying all women. I'm just saying liberal women who Malcolm X warned black people about, said they were the biggest threat. Liberals in general, white liberals. But liberal women are Batglo crazy. 60% of them are legitimately mentally ill.

[Mary Walter]

We're going to use fascist talking points. Be ready to be called a fascist.

[Caller or Guest]

You are the Fourth Reich and we are the resistance.

[Rob Carson]

And one more time, when my trans family is under attack, I'm going to stand up, fight back, get ready. This blatantly ignores science.

[Caller or Guest]

I'm queer.

[Rob Carson]

I'm the mom of a trans kid.

[Mary Walter]

And I'm an elementary school teacher. I would like to point out that by eliminating a minor's preferred pronouns is racist and Christian.

[Rob Carson]

Where. Where are the men here? Oh, the men are soy boys. And. And they have no. No testicles. I told you this. Kamala voters are crazy, insane cat ladies and the emasculated men in their lives. And centric using pronouns is proven to save lives. Intersex infants often have cosmetic surgeries done to their bodies to conform them. Oh, my God. You know, this is it. I mean, this is what Mengele did to children. He did. He would do. He would do these, you know, twins. He'd do things with twins like change their sex and see what happens. And they usually, you know, they always died. Anyway, here is. This is a woman in Minneapolis who quit her job to protest.

[Mary Walter]

I quit my job for this. And I've been having flare ups and.

[Caller or Guest]

Stuff, so it's like I can barely.

[Mary Walter]

And I have panic attack. You said when you heard the sirens, you immediately ran out. Where were you? I was about 15 minutes away.

[Rob Carson]

And what were you doing?

[Mary Walter]

I was disassociating on my bed. I mean, I might as well put my time to something useful. If you've seen the video, everything. It was not self defense by that terrorist.

[Rob Carson]

It was. Yeah, whatever. Honestly. Well, here's some more insane liberals in Minneapolis. I think ISIS actions in this state.

[Mary Walter]

Are despicable and we don't want them here. We don't want them taking our neighbors.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, it's. It's.

[Mary Walter]

What are we doing?

[Rob Carson]

What. What is our country? I think we're all just kind of done with your crap. Are you ready for Jasmine Crockett? What she said yesterday, you better be ready for this because it's going to piss you off. This wretched, idiotic tool said this yesterday and compared this nut in Renee Goode in Minneapolis to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

[Caller or Guest]

It is so hard to sit here sometimes.

[Rob Carson]

She was trying to drum up some tears because.

[Caller or Guest]

I didn't come to Congress to write laws.

[Rob Carson]

She's doing. She thinks that she's. By emoting that you're gonna sympathize with her. But you see, it's fake.

[Caller or Guest]

Do things that are hurting people.

Yeah.

I'm just asking if there's any decency or heart or courage on that side of the aisle. The fact that a woman was killed, she was shot in her head, and y' all are pretending like nothing happened there.

[Rob Carson]

She's. Go get an old girlfriend there.

[Caller or Guest]

I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God.

[Caller or Guest]

Do you. Do you remember what our response was?

[Rob Carson]

You guys loved it. You. You still post pictures online. Tens of thousands of liberals celebrated it, made fun of it because you're evil.

[Caller or Guest]

Our response wasn't to sit there and pretend like it was okay.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God.

[Caller or Guest]

Is it okay because you have a badge? Because the last time I checked, allegedly, no one is above the law.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. You know, Democrats apparently are, I gotta tell you, just so ungodly stupid. I'm so glad that she's not gonna be in Congress anymore. Oh, here she is. When inflaming violence, I disagree with a.

[Caller or Guest]

Lot of Republicans, but it does not necessarily turn violent.

[Mary Walter]

I think you punch.

[Caller or Guest]

I think you're okay with you. You okay with punching? I mean, like, this dude has to be knocked over the head, like, hard. But I literally have never said anything to invoke violence. We are not only gonna punch you back, but we are gonna knock you out. Say that I have never promoted violence whatsoever. We are going to be in your face. We are going to be on your.

[Rob Carson]

I'm just done with you. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Yeah. Here's CNN just a week ago saying that Ashley Babbitt deserved to die because she confronted law enforcement.

[Caller or Guest]

Are we saying deserve to get shot? Is that the consensus?

If you.

[Mary Walter]

If you are breaking in to a secure space, the United States Capitol and.

[Caller or Guest]

The secret that is telling stop.

You think that woman deserves to die?

[Mary Walter]

Please.

[Caller or Guest]

You think that woman deserves to tell.

[Mary Walter]

You to stop and you continue to do it. They. They have a right to use.

[Rob Carson]

She didn't try to run an SUV into Officer Bird. She just was crawling through an open window when she was killed. Another law enforcement circumstance.

[Caller or Guest]

If someone's unarmed and they break into a building, they have the right.

[Rob Carson]

They're expected. Okay, I'm done. Let's move on to something else. I'm done with Minneapolis. Screw Minneapolis. Screw. Screw the. The left in Minneapolis. This is going to be a fart in the wind. It'll be a fart in the net. Five catego hurricane. It will. This is going to go away pretty quickly. They'll try to burn Minneapolis. It's not going to happen this time. You can't light ashes. Yesterday, gold was 44, $64,460 an ounce. Today it's 4506. Almost 50 bucks more. One day. One ounce of gold. 50 bucks. If you had. You had 10 ounces of gold, you made $500 in one day. Silver was $75.89. Today it's 5 cents shy of $80. Here we go. Here we day in the world. The. The massive debt, central banks buying up precious metals, including gold. You. You really ought to do this now. You've been hearing me talk about this forever. Don't wait any longer. Text my name. Rob to 989-898 for Birch Gold. When you roll over an existing IRA or 401k into gold, you are eligible for a rebate up to $10,000. You and you can just watch your money grow. Just watch your money grow, baby. First time home buyers. It's by the end of the month. It's going to end at the end of the month on January 30th. So text my name. Rob to 989-898 10. Rob to 989898. If you would do that, they're going to send you information. No obligation or anything, but you can get the ball rolling finally as gold and silver continue their stratospheric run. Rob to 989-898. Tim I should say J.D. vance J.D. vance announced a new position of government. And I'm actually for this government hire, they're starting a new bureau of Investigations for fraud.

[Caller or Guest]

For fraud, instances of wrongdoing that we've seen in Minneapolis. But we also want to expand this. We know that the fraud isn't just happening in Minneapolis. It's also happening in states like Ohio. It's happening in states like California. And so what we're doing in order to help coordinate this remarkable interagency effort from the Trump administration, but also to make sure that we prosecute the bad, bad guys and do it as swiftly and efficiently as possible, is we are creating a new assistant attorney general position who will have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud. Now, of course, that person's efforts will start and focus primarily in Minnesota, but it is going to be a nationwide effort because unfortunately, the American people have been defrauded in a very nationwide way.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And this fraud is ending around the country. On the other side of the break, John Solomon with some unbelievable numbers of cash, suitcases of cash every day going through the Minneapolis airport. Nobody said a freaking thing about it. They did a report on, I think it was Fox 9 in Minneapolis in 2018. It's been going on. Or 2019. It's been going on. And the cork is out of the bottle on this one. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Parson]

Donald Trump's election. It's the gift that keeps on giving. It's the Rob Parson Show.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, and the prezi is going to give it to the libs this year. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. John Solomon, who's amazing, amazing guy. We're going to get him on hopefully next week with his wonderful reporting. He just, the news is his side. He's a frickin. Just a brilliant journalist. Here he is. About what's going on at Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. Listen this, this, because all of this money is yours. All of this money belongs to you.

[Caller or Guest]

What are these cash transfers? There are Somali couriers who come to the airport almost daily with 1,600,000 in cash and a luggage. That sounds a little suspicious, right? It was going on daily and they were moving about $350 million a year in cash in their luggage out of Minneapolis Airport. And then traditionally or predominantly overseas, one of the routes that TSA saw the money go, it would go from Minneapolis to Europe, Europe to Dubai, often through Amsterdam. It was flagged for years. TSA was flagging these payments for years. They grew.

[Rob Carson]

They grew from why in the hell do we even have the frickin TSA?

[Caller or Guest]

20, $30 million a year to $350 million a year. The last two years, 20, 24.

[Rob Carson]

But they'll stop you with your toothpaste. My God, you can bring a couple you know, who look like Captain Phillips pirate. They'll go through with their million dollars. But by God, you're not going to get through with your hair gel.

[Caller or Guest]

A foreign ATM taking cash out of the United States to foreign destinations. And we don't know the reason why, but that is now under investigation by the FBI.

[Rob Carson]

I wholesale gut the Somali population across the country and send them back in Minnesota. 50% of the Somali immigrants are fraudulently here. Every family that claimed their children had autism to get cash in fraud. Bye bye, Asta. You lose your citizenship. Bye bye. If you want to take your kids, great. Otherwise the kids can stay here, find somebody, take care of them. But you're done. You're done. You're done. Cut off all diplomatic ties with Somalia. Kick them the hell out. That's it. The few good Somalians. It's a much smaller proportion of people than you could possibly imagine in the United States of America. They can stay if they've been legal and they haven't done anything like this. Otherwise all of them are gone. And any other nationality would do such things.

[Caller or Guest]

Was literally a foreign ATM taking cash out of the United States to foreign destinations. And we don't know the reason why, but that is now under investigation by the FBI and hsi. And people say, well, is this normal? I mean, maybe this goes on at every airport. We got comparative statistics yesterday. Listen, the amount of money that these Somali couriers took out of the Minneapolis airport with the TSA flagging it daily was 99 times larger than all the cash that was declared in luggage going out of New York's jfk.

[Rob Carson]

One of the many reasons that Timmy is going to go to jail.

[Caller or Guest]

International Airport, one of the busiest international airports in America. 99 times more than what flies out of Dallas. 99. 90. 90% more. 90% more than what was flown out of Seattle, which is the most common airport for.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, unbelievable. Joni Ernst was talking about Elhan Omar. Elon Omar, of course, was the fee. She got the money for feeding our. And then she went from worth nothing to worth $30 million. Her and her husband. And she gonna be removed from Congress and then she's gonna be denaturalized. It's not what you think, Democrats. It has nothing to do with your genitalia or your Hair, it means you're no longer a citizen and you get your ass kicked out the country. I think that's what's gotta happen. Here's Joni Ernst with what Ilhan Omar. She was caught trying to funnel a million dollars to a substance abuse program.

[Caller or Guest]

What I uncovered the other day in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilan Omar of Minnesota, which was an earmark that was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals that share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags. So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well. So I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you. We had no idea how corrupt this government was. Worse than the Soviet Union ever dreamed of, man. Sick, sick sons of beast. Scott Besson. He's pretty badass. He might be the next Fed chair. And by the way, I would recommend you. We're selling our house in Kansas City in June. Probably wait until the Jerome Powell is removed as the Fed chair because he is a tool. Donald Trump says that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchased 200 billion in mortgage bonds. It's going to drive mortgage rates and monthly payments. So we're waiting on that. I want to sell the house high and get a low interest rate for somebody who wants to buy so somebody can come in. But, you know, maybe, maybe we'll get her down to five, maybe get it down to four. We got in under four. And now the positives are happening for people who haven't been able to afford homes because Joe Biden made them unaffordable. Here's Scott Bessem.

[Caller or Guest]

This is an outrage. President Trump is outraged.

[Rob Carson]

I'm outraged. The whole administration is outraged. And we are here to follow the money because that's what treasury does. We have done that for years. We did it with the Mafia. We have done it with the cartels, and now we are going to the Democrat Party. Is the mafia do it with these Somali fraudsters? And you want to know how I know that? Listen to what Tim Waltz and others did to people who are whistleblowers.

[Caller or Guest]

Ms. Ray, Rick, you spoke about the retaliation that many have experienced in light of trying to expose the fraud and the corruption happening in Minnesota. Can you speak more to that and.

[Rob Carson]

What people are experiencing when they try to sound the alarm on what's happening. Right.

[Caller or Guest]

So that retaliation has been going on for quite some time. If you look at what Faye Bernstein said in a news report or Newsweek article back in 2019, it started for her and she was heavily investigated. She was actually moved to a different state agency. She was, you know, retaliated against in every kind of way you can think. What's happened now is retaliation has escalated and now it's, you're going to lose your job, you're going to lose your home, we're going to track your children, we're going to make sure that you can't get a job anywhere else in state government. And for Minnesota, that means probably Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Duluth, Rochester, who can't get a job.

[Rob Carson]

People are going to have to go to jail. We're going to have to demand it. I mean, I'm done, done, done, done. Get your asses in gear and start putting some people behind bars. Perp walks. Let's go. Pam Bondi, get it done. This has to be the year. Let's take a break and come back. The lovely Mary Walter joins us next. Don't go anywhere.

These are Latvians. They have been arrested in Texas for their alleged involvement in a 14 million dollar gift card fraud scheme across several states. Christians, Petroviscus, Romans, Subrebiks and Normans. I can't say that.

[Rob Carson]

Brian, our producer sent me that this morning. Said I should play it before I introduced Mary Walters. That was you, baby.

[Mary Walter]

Listen, just when I get good at pronouncing Hispanic names, the Somalis move in. I can't do it all.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know. And you would you, you had to put at the beginning like proboscis or something like that. And you were going along so well. I would have never done it. And I know you're a wordsmith, by the way. I know you are a wordsmith. You're a well spoken person. But, but I, I was like, wow, that was a whole lot of syllables in a big old hurry.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, exactly. There's a lot of vowels and W's a lot I don't understand. But anyway, thank you.

[Rob Carson]

Welcome. Welcome to the show.

[Mary Walter]

And by the way, Brian, I will remember this.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, thank you. How are you? Happy New Year, by the way.

[Mary Walter]

Happy New Year to you too. You all rested? Well, I know you are because you and I will be on the Wendy Bell show this weekend. And I know from that that you are in rare form. Rare. Ready to go.

[Rob Carson]

Last night I was. I was off fuego. Even though I had a red face. You said my face looked red.

[Mary Walter]

You did. You look like you were sunburned.

[Rob Carson]

I don't. Well, I went to King street yesterday and so I would, I would assume maybe that was it. I don't know. Or maybe I was just glad to see you.

[Mary Walter]

That's what it was. Honestly, when you started, when you go off, like people don't understand, when you go off, you get very animated, right?

[Rob Carson]

Yes, yes.

[Mary Walter]

You looked a little like Tim Walsh, I gotta say.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dear God in heaven. Really? I'm just saying, you know, I'm sorry, is this phone number. I can't hear you anymore. Brian. Is she cut off? What is. What happened to her? I can't hear her anymore.

[Mary Walter]

I'm telling you now, when people watch, they will not be able to unsee it.

[Caller or Guest]

Now, Now.

[Rob Carson]

All right, whatever. It is funny though. And I, I really enjoy her work. I think she does a terrific job. Wendy is. I think she's like the Megan Kelly of Pittsburgh. I mean, she's, she's phenomenal.

[Mary Walter]

She's fantastic.

[Rob Carson]

You guys were. I just really enjoyed being on the panel last night. It was really a lot of fun. So listen, I, I know you're going to say echo some of the same Sentiments I have about the big news of the day. So let's just say it real quick. The shooting of that loon crazy cat lady in, In Minneapolis. I mean, the. The poor, poor woman who, you know, tried to run over the Ice Age. Your thoughts real quick?

[Mary Walter]

Well, we really need to teach people how to make better choices. Yeah, I think that's what a lot of our problems come down to is bad choice making. She made a lot of bad choices that put her in the position she's in. However, we also need to bring back consequences because we have decided that consequences are no longer a thing anymore. And when people don't feel that they're going to be held accountable for their choices, they feel they can just drive off and nothing's going to happen.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, Mary, as a. As a woman, you know, there are. There are guys who are crazy. You know, there are guys who are out there. They go off and live in cabins and. And write notes to the New York Times and send bombs, you know. But then there are liberal women. And liberal women are. About 60% of them have some sort of mental disorder. And they're very. They're very subject to a social contagion. And this is clearly the case. This is why they fall in love with deathware. Oh, inmates. So, I mean, as a woman, I mean, when you look at this, you go, what the hell, Please.

[Mary Walter]

Well, I think there's something in the purple hair dye. I'm not 100% sure, but there may be some kind of chemical issue in the pink, blue, green, purple hair dye. But no, you're right. And see, this is the way men and women are different. It's like when men commit suicide, they make a big grand gesture. You know, they blow their brains out, that kind of thing. Like do things. When women do it, they always think about the mess that's gonna have to cleaned up. So it's really not as big of a thing.

[Rob Carson]

They're like cats. They go off to die, you know, alone.

[Mary Walter]

Well, so do elephants, you know, so I don't know what that matters, but whatever. But you're right. Women, for whatever reason, these women have to let their freak flag fly. I don't understand what it is. And I had a discussion about this on the air. Like, what is happening? Are more people mentally ill? Or since COVID do more people just feel a need to not leave it at home?

[Rob Carson]

No, they are being. They're being brainwashed. There is a complex of individuals who are Marxist, Neville Singham, George Soros and others. And it has been it has actually been promoted by, with American taxpayer dollars to, to do these narratives and, and to repeat and to repeat and to repeat and then eventually becomes the truth. This is what Hitler's chief of propaganda, Goebbels. Goebbels said that. And, and, and guess what? But those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities. Let's talk real quick about Venezuela and the Democrats reaction to one of the worst dictators ever freeing millions of people. What are your thoughts?

[Mary Walter]

It is amazing. The beauty of Donald Trump is he has shown how easily manipulated the left is. They're defending trend Aragua, right, since the shooting yesterday in Portland. They're defending a murderous dictator, right, who ran over his own people with tanks because they were protesting. But Trump's the fascist, Trump's the authoritarian. And this is the thing, is that they just, they're just easily manipulated. We've lost. You can't even have a serious conversation about this. I'm sorry, but you can't just. Because there's nothing serious about them anymore even. It's, it's like trying to argue with a four year old playing ladders. You're just gonna lose because no logic. You can't.

[Rob Carson]

There are people in my life, very close to me who immediately took the side of the woman in the, in the SUV running over the officer. And I, no matter what I say, I'm, I'm wrong. I'm like, okay, I've done. I honestly, I don't have time for this folly. I don't have time for this nonsense. I really don't. I really don't. And then you know what they do online? You know what they do? I get these, these idiots, these trolls and they immediately comment on my age. They immediately say, you'. Man. And, and I always say to them, I can't do anything about my chronology. And you can't do anything, you're about your iq. So we are at an impasse. We are at an impasse.

[Mary Walter]

No, you tell them this looks fades stupid forever.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you very much. Kaboom. Couple of other things I want to get to that I think are kind of interesting. And this is kind of. Well, it happened to me. It happened to me. Walk away. Wives heading leading the charge in midlife divorce. A new report shows the more women than ever are walking away from their marriages because they've just had enough. But their husbands are left in the shock after an out of the blue divorce. Now listen, four years ago, if my wife walked, I would not have blamed her one little bit. But I got sober, devoted my life to her. Got her through her mother's funeral, delivered her mother's eulogy, even even catered her mother's wake, for God's sake. Bought her a convertible. And then election year. Ta da. But I don't blame women. And unfortunately, you know, like on match.com, i have never met anybody on match.com. but you've got women who are just sick and tired of men wanting to get back into a relationship. And then the rejects out there, the guys out there who are still broken, you know, looking for somebody else. It's just bizarre.

[Rob Parson]

See?

[Mary Walter]

Wow, there's lots of pack here. And I don't have my psychologist hat on right now, but hang on. So would you like to lay down, Mr. Carson, and tell me all about it? But here's the thing. I see it, though. Look at the difference. When after a divorce or after the death of a spouse, women never get remarried. Men are remarried or dating someone within.

[Rob Carson]

A year, and men tend to die earlier when they get divorced. They do. They curl up. I'm not doing that. I'm having a ball. I'm having a dinner party tomorrow night, for God's sake.

[Mary Walter]

Oh, I was not invited. Someone's gonna put you out of your. Out of their misery for you. But here. So it goes to show you, societally, sociologically, women don't need men in that way. You know, people always say, wow, if you guys ever got divorced, did you get married again? I'm like, oh, hell no. Why would I do this again? No.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, My wife says, my ex, she said the same thing. If I ever get divorced, I will never get remarried. I don't. I'm not interested in marriage at all. I have no problem. I have no problem with a lifelong commitment. You know, find somebody, maybe, but I ain't doing the marriage thing. We'll figure some sort of other whatever, but I ain't doing this again.

[Mary Walter]

I wouldn't live with anybody. I don't need the lifelong commitment. Women are much more comfortable and capable on their own than men are. Women are like cats. Men are like dogs. Men need someone to hit them over the nose of the newspaper when they're peeing on the couch. You know, take them out.

[Rob Carson]

You occasionally hump your leg too there. They do that too.

[Mary Walter]

But men, Men are very needy in that way.

[Rob Carson]

All right, now listen, we gotta. Hold on. Hold on that. Because I've got a lot more on this, including a shocking first date gift. And then also, thieves have snatched a beloved. Well, I won't say it, from a restaurant in New Jersey I know, I know. We're gonna talk about that next. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson. Hey guys, it's Carson for relief factor. You know, I saw an ad for relief factor a while back and I saw a guy literally in tears with how he talked about the pain that he was experienced was gone. It happened to me too. I started taking a few months ago. My hip was really bothering me and I wondered because I'm the age of, you know, replacement of joints and whatnot, if it could be better.

Joe More with Barry Walter in one moment. Gold yesterday, 446090 today at $4506. You went up 50 bucks. Silver is up $5. Now a knock, knock, knocking on $80. Door. $80. It went over $80 while I was on vacation. Who would have ever said this about silver? I got some coins my uncle Virgil left me when he passed away. Silver dollars. And now they're really worth something. Used to be worth, you know, 20 bucks, whatever. No, no, no, no. They're worth a lot more right now. If you're a first time home gold buyer, I should say Burch gold is offering a rebate up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility, start the process, text my name, Rob to 989-898.

You know, look, if you don't Google the word walrus penis stolen, don't, because you're not going to get what you think you're going to get. I just saw it online and it was, it was bizarre. But a thief snatched a beloved walrus penis from a New Jersey restaurant. You, you apparently know something about this because you live up there.

[Mary Walter]

Oh, yeah, I saw the story. I've never been to this restaurant. Because in New Jersey, if you can't get what you want within a 15 minute drive, you ain't getting it.

[Rob Carson]

You know, even a walrus penis.

[Mary Walter]

Well, you know, I don't know how many people are in the market for one, but you know, they might have to make a longer trip. It was in a restaurant and apparently these three drunk guys are a bar and they asked to see it. So they took it down and handed to low. You could see it, you know, and the guy walked off with it.

[Rob Carson]

I wanted to see what it looked like. I mean, you can't blame a guy for wanting to, you know, just kind of femur. See how you compare it looks like.

[Mary Walter]

Only a man would do that. And you should have known better, sweetie. Disappointment is often the word when it comes to things like this.

[Rob Carson]

Okay? Yeah, well, they're still looking for the walrus penis, I guess. I look on ebay, I guess. Right? I mean, who doesn't want a walrus penis in their house?

[Mary Walter]

Well, you know where that is? That's in the home of a divorced or single man.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, totally, totally. You know what? That would look so good next to the spiral staircase with LED lights in my apartment.

[Mary Walter]

Yeah, you got to raise expectations though. You know, you always want to under promise and over deliver. You don't want to over promise and under deliver, Rob. I'm just saying.

[Rob Carson]

Gotcha. So a woman was shocked by an Aussie influencer, shocked by an odd gift given to her on a first date that many women are saying kind of cool. They met at a, at a bar and he brought a lasagna. He made a lasagna for her. And he. And he. It's kind of.

[Mary Walter]

But why, why just out of the blue, here's a lasagna. Or did they have a conversation? He says, oh, I make a really great lasagna. Or she said, oh, you should make that for me one day. Like I want to know what the lead up is, other than here's a lasagna. Like, that's kind of weird.

[Rob Carson]

This is lasagna. He had brought lasagna, his homemade lasagna recipe for me to try at the bar. The gift, as bizarre it may seem, was call back to one of Joan hinges prompts which says, my love language is known as lasagna. I can't make this up. The smell is incredible. Joan even pointed out that the lasagna was made in the correct way with the sauce made two days prior. So he made the gravy, baby. Oh, my goodness. That. You know what? My son yelled at me a couple years ago and he says, you think food is love? And I said, well, no kidding, you idiot.

[Mary Walter]

Well, you wouldn't call. I'm sure you didn't call your son an idiot.

[Rob Carson]

No, I called him a moron.

[Mary Walter]

All right, there's that. No, no, I know, but my parents used to call us idiots all the time when we were kids, but we were raised in a different generation and we fully expected it.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much mine. Much worse, honestly.

[Mary Walter]

If. If they've had some kind of conversation about it, you know, I. I get it. And it all. Listen, and it all depends on how cute he was. If he's hunting, he's bringing lasagna shields here. If he's. If he's like. If he's like, seriously, you know that guy and he brings her a lasagna, she's like, oh, my God, what a dork. And she crawls out the bathroom window to get.

[Rob Carson]

And he said something weird about his mom, you know, and her lasagna. And it got creepy. And it got creepy. Yeah. I slept in my mom's bed till I was 45 and she made the best lasagna. Yeah, that would be kind of weird.

[Mary Walter]

Well, it's not even that. If he's hot, it works. If it's not, it ain't working.

[Rob Carson]

That's true. If Tim Waltz gave you a lasagna, not so much. If Antonio Banderas made a lasagna, you'd eat the hell out of that lasagna.

[Mary Walter]

Antonio Banderas, like 20 years ago? Yes.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Still pretty good looking guy. Still a pretty good looking guy. He can't do anything about his chronology. You see? Now, if a man showed up with a walrus, a walrus penis through the first date, that would be bizarre.

[Mary Walter]

That would be really. Yeah, that, that. That. That entire story was just very odd.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know. But it is something that drunk guys would do. Hey, let's Steal the walrus penis and then they'll give it to each other as a Christmas G. 30 years.

[Mary Walter]

Exactly. Is one another difference between men and women? When you put more men in a group and their IQ gets lower, not higher.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's true. That is true.

[Mary Walter]

The stupidity doubles.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And then women get crazier and. And women, women get crazier when they're together.

[Mary Walter]

There's alcohol involved. And if the guys have this one woman in the group, she's going to go, let's pump the brakes. I don't think this is such a good idea. But if there's no woman in the group, something dumb's happening.

[Rob Carson]

We gotta do a podcast. We should just do a podcast on. We should just do a podcast on this stuff. I'm not kidding. We should. It'd be really fun.

[Mary Walter]

I have this kind of time and you have to let me talk. And I just don't think that's.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dear God in heaven. I can never get a word in edgewise when you talk. Typical woman. Where can people find all of your glorious work? Barry Walter.

[Mary Walter]

Okay, well, Rob and I will be on the Wendy Bell show tomorrow at 3:00 Eastern Time and Sunday at 3:30. And you can tell. Watch it because I'm telling you, he looks like an enraged Tim Wall.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, but I'm really funny. But I'm really funny. I am very funny.

[Mary Walter]

And then of course, just look for me on Xary Walter Radio. And my live cast is on Tuesdays at 7:15pm Eastern Time on Rumble, YouTube and Getter. Look for Mary Walter Radio. Boom.

[Rob Carson]

All right. God bless you, girl. Happy New Year. Let's talk. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Foo Fighters Times like these. Great song. This. This is the sound of Venezuelan political prisoners being released. Joy. Just joy. Beautiful, beautiful. And the Democrats are such wretched, putrid people, they can't even celebrate that. You pathetic, awful people. Donald Trump says Mexico is next. He does.

[Rob Parson]

We've knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water and we are going to start now hitting land.

[Rob Carson]

Remember what I said with I wanted Huey helicopters with CCR playing over the speakers and Jesse Ventura and well, Carl Weathers has passed and Arnold Schwarzenegger going in painting targets and blowing them up. Some, some drug lords.

[Rob Parson]

Regard to the cartels, the cartels are running Mexico. It's very, very sad to watch and see what's happened to that country. But the cartels are running and they're killing 250, 300,000 people in our country every single year. The drugs, it's horrible. It's devastated families. You know, you lose a child or.

[Rob Carson]

A parent, I mean, it's time. It's time to kick the sucker. Fish. That is Mexico in the arse. Here is Donald Trump talking about the future of Venezuela.

[Rob Parson]

What is your ultimate goal for the governance of Venezuela? Prisoners that nobody thought they would ever see.

[Rob Carson]

I love it.

[Rob Parson]

Are being released. God bless America in many cases. Good people is what I understand.

[Rob Carson]

Superman is back.

[Rob Parson]

Prisoners. Nobody ever thought they'd be released. So we're going to be working with them and leadership of the country. And so far we've been working very well. You know, we picked up the Russian freighter that trudged out there. I want to ask you about that. Well, they had some Russian ships guarding.

[Rob Carson]

It and yeah, there you go. You know as well as I do that I've been saying this for a couple years. I said that when Donald Trump is elected, a wave of freedom and patriotism and faith was going to sweep the world. The yin and the yen, the opposite reaction to the reaction of evil. It's happening. The good news is going to be so big, it will overwhelm the cries of the left. This woman being shot in in Minneapolis by a police officer trying to save his own life. This will fade very quickly. It will not catch fire because the left is doing a death spiral into hell. Last hour of the show comes up next. Do not miss it. Everyone deserves to be connected.
