Doug Burns
Now. 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 Carson show, hour
Rob Carson
number three of the Rob Carson Show. Man, the first two are pretty fun, huh? Thane Rosen, mom on and what else we had. Oh, yeah, Senator Bryce Reeds on from Virginia on. It was a lot of fun. And then of course, all of the sundry commentary and comedy associated in between. So if you like the podcast, today's gonna be white hot. Just go to your usual podcast platforms and look up Rob Carson's show. There you go. It's that easy on Spotify. There's a little bell, I guess you ding the bell and subscribe and all that stuff. So. And then of course, you get the video podcast, which is available on NewsMax social media. Three hours of this face. I'm looking at you right now. I know, right? Yeah, especially you ladies. I know, I know. This is why you guys watch an hour of an hour and 39 minutes a day on average. Did you know that you watch an hour and 39 minutes? You know how many TV stations or networks would love to have people watch for an hour and 35, 39 minutes? I mean, it's unheard of. So anyway, it's because we, you know, we try to do things a little different here. We try to stay ahead, leading edge opinion and all that. And, and use some comedy to make a point. This today, I guess, the pay. Pete Hegseth pummels Chris Murphy for leaking classified information. I got to hear this. I haven't had a chance to listen. I'm just looking at my, my different
Congressional Member
timelines here of their missile capacity had been destroyed. This public report says it's only 30%. Can, can you give us an answer as to what the real number is?
Rob Carson
I mean, I would answer the same way as the chairman.
Congressional Member
Not talking to this committee about the
Political Commentator
damages not validating leaked information.
Rob Carson
That could be wrong or not wrong. Why would I validate what people may not leak? This is not a classified.
Political Commentator
We don't talk about those things. And you like to talk about them in tv. We don't talk about them.
Rob Carson
Oh, there you go. A little mic drop there from the, from the Secretary of War. Secretary of War, War. What is it good for? Absolutely kicking Iran's butt. How about that? That's pretty cool. Let's see. We got some new Harry into here. New CNN bowl should serve as a big time reality check for Democrats. Let's check it out.
Political Commentator
But I think this poll serves as
Political Analyst
a big time reality check for Democrats. And that is it ain't over yet, especially with the redistricting. When we look ahead to the 2026
Rob Carson
race, he's talking about the midterms. Democrats think they're going to win just because it's the midterms and Donald Trump is in office. And I have been saying how long? Pretty much since Donald Trump was elected the Democrat Party, it will be very hard for them to win the midterms. And I don't think they're going to because they suck.
Political Analyst
You would have thought that the Democrats lead would expand on the generic congressional ballot. It didn't happen. Look, in March, Democrats are up by six points. Look at this. Now Democrats are up by three points,
Rob Carson
which means that Republicans are ahead by seven.
Political Analyst
And I want you to note the yellow lettering. No clear leader in the margin of error. So despite all of the talk about
Rob Carson
Donald Trump's unpopular gas prices, grocery prices, oh wait, they were really high when Joe Biden was president.
Political Analyst
The fact is Republicans very much remain in the game when it comes to.
Rob Carson
Course we do. It's ridiculous to think otherwise because the Democrat Party is nothing but darkness and evil. So there's that. I found this story from 2012. You know, the Democrats are. They just be to hear their heads rattle, as my dad used to say. They beat to hear their heads rattle. And they, they hate the new ballroom. Even though Jackie O wanted a ballroom when she was there. John Kennedy used every room as a ballroom. So did Bill Clinton. That said they've been wanting a ballroom forever. They wanted an Arc de Triomphe forever. Here in Washington D.C. they've been talking about cleaning up the reflecting pool. And Barack Obama supposedly did it in 2012. $30 million to clean up the reflecting pool. Donald Trump's doing it in three weeks. Democrats are screeching, it's going to be unnaturally blue. It's going to be blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. $2 million. They had a proposal in front of them. $300 million in three years to do the reflecting pool. And Donald Trump's gonna do it in three weeks. It's gonna be done. Might even done this weekend. I don't even know. But here is a report from CNN in 2012 on Barack Obama's faceplant. Absolute fail.
Commercial Announcer
There's plenty to take pictures of in downtown Washington, D.C. the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II memorial. And then there's this, folks snapping photos of the reflecting pool.
Seattle Official
It's really sludgy up this end.
Commercial Announcer
And what's in it.
Political Commentator
It's disgusting.
Rob Carson
It doesn't. It's not right.
Commercial Announcer
Algae.
Seattle Official
It's like, smells like wet dog down here. You know, when my dog came home from a stream, he always smelled like this.
Rob Carson
So it's gross.
Commercial Announcer
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool reopened at the end of August to great fanfare after a $34 million renovation that lasted nearly two years. But less than a month later, the famous pool of water is full of algae. Algae are simple organisms that thrive in areas where there is heat and sunlight. And you have plenty of that here. The water may not look great, but it doesn't pose a health or safety hazard. It's really just ugly. The yuck factor. If it's sunny, if it's.
Rob Carson
Why did you spend $34 million? It did nothing. That's a metaphor for the Democrat Party. Duh. It's so stupid. Ridiculous. Wah, wah, wah. B word till your head rattles. You hear about this? Eileen Wang, Arcadia, California mayor, accused of being a Chinese foreign agent. That means a spy, by the way. It means that she is a spy and she was elected as the mayor of Arcadia. Here's the. Here's the news report about the spy
Commercial Announcer
acting as an illegal agent of China. Eileen Wang has agreed to plead guilty, according to officials. Matt Finn has more. He's live in L. A. Matt, Sandra,
Reporter Matt Finn
the feds say that mayor here in California operated a bogus website that pretended to be a news source for the Chinese American community. But instead, yeah, they said things like,
Rob Carson
oh no, China isn't committing, you know, isn't. Isn't enslaving people like the Uyghurs when
Reporter Matt Finn
they are promoted propaganda on behalf of China. The federal plea agreement says Eileen Wang took directives from the People's Republic of China on what to post on the fake website between 2000 and 2022 before she became a council member and ultimately mayor of.
Rob Carson
Yeah, she was a Chinese, effectively. I Guess you could say a spy, but certainly a propagandist. She. She posted pro China policies as mayor. The Department of Justice states the conduct took place after she became mayor. The magistrate ordered $25,000 bond for her surrender of all of her passports and travel documents. They'll try to get her out of here. They'll try to order Chinese takeout. They will. But for now, it looks like. It looks like Arcadia's Wang has been cut off a little. Little. Yeah, I've been sitting on that punchline for all morning. In a statement, Wang's attorney Wang. Whatever the hell, Brian. Brian L. Sun and Jason Liang said she apologizes and is sorry for the mistakes that she has made in her married life because she was married to this guy who's a Chinese propagandist. From late 2020 through 2022, Wang worked with young Mike sun, her former fiance, to run a website called US News center that branded itself as a news source for Chinese Americans, according to the plea agreement unsealed on Monday. And basically, yes, she propagandized for the. For the Chinese Communist Party and said things like, there is no genocide in Yang Yang. There is no such thing as forced labor in any production activity, including cotton production. Spreading such rumor is to defame China. That she said. And then listen, this is. She also said, thank you, leader. In a note after being complimented for a post that was viewed 15,000 times. She said that to, I guess, Xi Jinping. Thank you, leader. Wong posted the article on her website and responded to the Chinese government official with a link to the article, which I just referred to. There's no forced labor and all that she said so fast. Thank you, everyone. She also included beloved you long time just there before she said thank you. Later. There you go. Anyway, so Wong's at Wang's attorney stressed in their statement that the conduct underlying the information and the agreement with the government relates solely to Mrs. Wong's personal life. Now, she's a Chinese. A Chinese prophet. Propaganda. And I want you to. This is real. This is her ad for reelection. I want you to tell me if you could possibly tell that maybe. Maybe she might. I don't know, maybe some red flags, literally, like red flags with yellow stars should be. Should have been raised. Hello, everyone. My name is Eileen Wing. I'm running Acadia City Council, District three, Public safety, transportation, homeless issue. All of my priority. Please support and vote me on November 8th. Thank you. Oh, yes. Thank you. Dear Leader, No word on whether Eric Schwal actually slept with her. Yeah, so she. She received an Executed directives from the People's Republic of China government officials to post pro PRC content on the website. Democrats do this for free. They do this for. What the hell, they'll just do it for free. Kind of crazy. Wong wanted to circulate an article about the Chinese Russian ambassador asking for Americans to respect the PRC's democratic rights, among other things. Yeah, she did Chinese propaganda just like the Democrat Party, which explains why she was elected and who she probably. Who probably voted for her and supported her on the way. Got some funny stuff out of Seattle with this Katie Wilson who is Veruca Salt. She is Veruca Salt. That's coming up on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. If you are on Medicare or about to be, you could be overpaying right now and never know it. Here's why. Millions of seniors are in a plan that doesn't fit their needs. Because Medicare is complicated. Many brokers just steer people into plans that pay them the most. That's absurd. That is so absurd, I decided to write a little slogan for it. Medicare sure ain't fair and choosing a plan is a bear. Pick a plan with a broker if you dare, and you might end up with a scare. Okay, listen, it's a little rough. You need to know about Chapter. They're the only national advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. With Chapter, you'll see what a plan actually costs when you need it. Not just the $0 sum. Plans advertise your doctors are covered and your prescriptions are too. You'll have confidence you have the coverage you need. A call with Chapter is free. Takes about 20 minutes. If you're turning 65 or already on Medicare, call 27 Medicare. Again, that's 27 Medicare. Call 27 Medicare today. Come on. Sorry, I just gotta absorb this. Tom Morello doing Voodoo Child. It's just so good. Oh, my gosh. Phenomenal. Crank it up. Here we go. I've been listening to some really good music lately. I. I discovered a. A young woman named Avery Anna, and she is a guitar aficionado. And she does a live version of no More Tears by Ozzy Osborne. This weekend, I was listening to it and I blow my head off. Avery. My daughter's name is Avery, by the way. And. And then I found a band named Dr. Funk. Look up. If you get Dr. Funk Roadrunner live, it will blow your head off. I know it's A lot to think about. But anyway, I, I add all my own bumper music because I love music and I, and I don't just love rock. I love, I love all sorts of music. I love music, any kind of music. And then like all sudden, you know, Commodore Ceylon will come on and I'm going with that. And I'm like, okay. And then all of a sudden I got some gospel song going. I just love it all. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is a child. She's an adult child. She got $10,000 from her parents last year because she's a loser. Failure adult child. This is Alex Marlowe talking with, with Rob Schmidt last week about the adult child mayor of Seattle was elected by other children. It's somewhere between the Lord of the Flies and an animal farm. That's kind of what we got going on in New York City and in Seattle. Here's Alex Marlow from Breitbart.
Stephen Colbert (clip)
Socialism has failed everywhere, but its flaws are exposed much faster in free countries like the United States, where individuals and businesses can simply leave for more welcoming jurisdiction. 43 year old Wilson, who received a $10,000 allowance from her parents last year, is defiant about the consequences of her antagonism towards successful people.
Rob Carson
It's like giving the kid from the daycare center the license from the daycare center. This woman has no practical experience, no intelligence. She's a moron. People are leaving left and right. Seattle Channel asked about businesses leaving Seattle and she said she was really proud of passing a payroll tax which actually caused Amazon to move out of the city. And here is this child, this woman, child, Katie Wilson, now saying that as these businesses are leaving, all other taxes are on the table, meaning that everybody's a middle class. Whatever, it doesn't matter. You're going to get taxed. This is what they're doing in New York. New Yorkers are going to get a 10% property tax increase across the board because there aren't enough taxes from billionaires to handle all the bull crap that they're trying to pass. All the socialistic nonsense that is going to fail. The great thing, it's going to fail. The problem is the damage it's going
Political Commentator
to do on the ballot for people to say tax the rich. I think there are some businesses that are saying, wait a minute, and maybe they're speaking with their pocketbooks, moving out of here, things of that nature. How do you respond to that?
Seattle Official
So I'm really proud of the work I did and that Ali did and that many others did to, to pass the job.
Rob Carson
Oh my God, the only job I ever had in my life was babysitting. And now the mayor. I just can't even believe it.
Seattle Official
Start payroll expense tax back in 2020.
Rob Carson
I would not have her watch my
Seattle Official
children as, as director Panucci mentioned, you know, without that major progressive revenue source which yes, is a tax on major
Rob Carson
progressive revenue source, large corporations, you know,
Seattle Official
with, with a high paid workforce and they're leaving and we would have been in a world of hurt during the pandemic. And this is also what has been floating the city budget.
Rob Carson
You know, that tax on the, on the payroll was what was floating the budget. And now that these businesses are moving out, who are they going to turn to to get the revenue?
Seattle Official
Particularly for the last five years. So I'm really proud of that work we're going to be taking into account. Right.
Rob Carson
And when we look shouldn't be proud of anything. Seattle sucks now because of people like
Seattle Official
you in our revenue options. Yes, one option is to dial up jumpstart. Right. And no options are off the table because we don't have any great options. There are options and we are, you know, our team is hard at work studying those options. I think capital gains tax is absolutely on the table.
Rob Carson
It's never going to be enough. Komo Como in Seattle did a recent piece on her because her handlers are protecting her from the media because she's such a freaking moron.
Commercial Announcer
Seattle's mayor is declining further comment about a series of viral moments that have over.
Rob Carson
They're doing the same way with Wes Moore, the governor of the state of Maryland. They're hiding him from the media because he took a like $3 billion surplus, made it into a $2 billion deficit, destroying the state of Maryland which was on its way to destruction anyway thanks
Commercial Announcer
to Democrats, shadowed any sort of policy discussion and raised new concerns about her leadership. The incidents have garnered national headlines from coast to coast and sparked questions about how who is running the city. Senior reporter Chris Daniels is live from Seattle to explain tonight. Chris?
Reporter Chris Daniels
Yeah, Molly, Seattle's mayor was at an event last week that was interrupted by gunfire and Katie Wilson was rushed to safety. We did attempt to ask her a rather straightforward question about public policy when it comes to surveillance cameras, but we were interrupted by her staff. It was the third in a series of events that leads some to wonder whether these verbal missteps will have other impacts for the city.
Rob Carson
They're protecting her because she's an idiot. I'm not kidding. She's not a smart person. She's an adult female child who got $10,000 from her parents last year to help pay for child care. And. And she's the mayor.
Reporter Chris Daniels
Does that change it? Does that. Does that change your perspective? Let's keep it on.
Seattle Official
Yeah, let's keep it on the top of this.
Reporter Chris Daniels
That straightforward public policy question of Seattle's mayor, Katie Wilson.
Rob Carson
I'm sorry, I specifically said to keep it on topic.
Reporter Chris Daniels
Today is interrupted by a junior city staffer. Want to have answer.
Rob Carson
Maybe we can set up a different time for that.
Reporter Chris Daniels
But the mayor is a busy person.
Doug Burns
I understand.
Rob Carson
Maybe I can only ask her certain questions. Certain questions. This is a little thing I found of her when she was running for mayor. Her little wish list. Listen to this.
Seattle Official
There is an awful lot that I want to accomplish as mayor. I want everyone in this great city of ours to have a roof over their head. I want universal childcare and free K through 8 summer care. I want world class mass transit. I want great, safe public spaces where kids can run around with abandon. I want stable affordable housing for renters. I want social housing. I want much more land and wealth to be owned and stewarded by communities instead of corporations. I want a robust economy with thriving small businesses.
Rob Carson
Well, you certainly killed that. And I mentioned when that. When she said that, she reminded me a lot of this.
Children's Song Singer (clip)
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter. 10,000 tons of ice cream. And if I don't get the things
Rob Carson
I am after, I'm gonna raise taxes on everybody.
Children's Song Singer (clip)
I'm going to scream.
Doug Burns
Oh yeah.
Rob Carson
And then scream, ye. Katie Brooke.
Commercial Announcer
I want the works.
Children's Song Singer (clip)
I want the whole works. Present prizes and sweets and surprises of all shapes and sizes.
Rob Carson
And now. Free groceries.
Children's Song Singer (clip)
Don't care how I want it now.
Rob Carson
Free diapers.
Children's Song Singer (clip)
Don't care how I want it now.
Rob Carson
And that's exactly where she's going. Right into the pits of hell. Because it's gonna fail. Because she's a child. She's a child given the keys to the bus. Just like Zora Moron. Zam Kami in New York. Whoa. I love it. I love it. And we just watch. Just gonna get some popcorn and watch. This is fantastic. Commodities go up with. They are. There are restraints on supply.

Political Commentator
Better chance of me sprouting wings and flying out of that window over there than the United States Supreme Court dealing with this in any way. Because this is a state Supreme Court ruling on a state constitution. The U.S. supreme Court doesn't deal with these kinds of things, number one. Number two, the freak out in Virginia has been so extreme, you even have Democrats over there who are saying they want to effectively politically decapitate the entire Virginia Supreme Court by putting an age limit of 54 so they can get rid of every existing justice and install people who will promise to rule a certain way on a certain case. You know, they went from, oh, this is just a temporary map thing to let's burn down the entire Virginia Supreme Court in about two seconds over there in Virginia, which I gotta tell you,
Rob Carson
it is, it is remarkable. These are remarkable times. And to digest this and so much more, there's so much to get to. Doug Burns, former federal prosecutor Bro, how are you doing today?
Doug Burns
Good, Rob.
Rob Carson
So the, the Democrats remedy to getting their, their illegal gerrymandering referendum through and the Supreme Court of Virginia getting rid of it. They just want to declare that everybody in the Supreme Court is too old to serve and make them all retire. What the hell?
Doug Burns
Sounds reasonable to me, Rob. Joking aside, anybody who's played sports, watched sports, is familiar with the term sore loser. And that's what's going on here, interestingly enough, you know, to get a little bit in the legal weeds. And we already discussed this. The decision, really, the referendum, just hypothetically in the classroom, could have been the most wonderful thing of all time. The fact is, they didn't follow the rules to implement any referendum. Okay? So the court never even reached whether it was good, bad or indifferent. They didn't have to do. They didn't have the correct. And by the way, quick diversion, I won't name any names. I read an article from a total idiot who was criticizing Professor Turley, saying he completely avoided explaining the decision. It was one of the most idiotic things I've ever read in my life. It was just ridiculous. And the fact of the matter is, to repeat this, you need two sessions of the General assembly sandwiched around the vote. Okay, that's just elementary. In terms of amending the Virginia Constitution. Now, on the merits, let's not put our heads in the sand. It was preposterous for a number of reasons. Number one, it would have given them a 10 to 1 seat advantage instead of 6 to 5. That's absurd. And number two, the wording of the referendum put aside my technical point about how the court never reached it. The wording was absurd. Are you in favor of restoring fairness? It was ridiculous. And by the way, last year. Point, and I'll shut up all these Democrats, it's so lame. They just trot out the same point. The voters spoke on this. It's just ridiculous.
Rob Carson
It is. And you can tell because they are. I want you to listen. This is Bakari Sellers on cnn. And this is a man who literally is going to take the legacy of the greatest people of color to ever live the last 130 years and saying everything that they done. Martin Luther King Jr. In a Rosa Parks. Everybody is completely worthless because we are back in 1896. If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and
Political Commentator
woke up today in 2026, they would
Rob Carson
simply say the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits.
Doug Burns
They, they swapped out Klan hoods for Brooks Brothers.
Rob Carson
Where are they gonna go with his Dutch?
Doug Burns
Yeah, this is where anger and emotion override reason and logic. You know, you and I have discussed before. We discussed right now. The sad question, however, is how many people are susceptible to falling for the nonsense that you just played. Okay, again, what this decision says is that you can't discriminate in any direction. You know, just like by analogy to affirmative action. So the point is you can't set up a congressional district based on race. And then they have this ridiculous meltdown. You know, the big comparison for me was the immunity ruling where they said, you know, official presidential actions can enjoy immunity. Actions outside the scope of the presidency, what you call in Latin ultra vires, you know, a term they use in corporate law, does not enjoy immunity. And you had people on the View saying he can now kill a political opponent in the street, Rob. And he enjoys immunity. So the larger question from 30,000ft is a, how can we live in a society where people in positions of some media authority, legal authority, congressional authority are going to make statements like that? And then B, isn't it tragic that with the COVID of a lot of the media, people walk around believing it?
Rob Carson
Yeah, it's frightening. And I have said and I believe that the only place that Democrats can and will go is violence. It's not going to work. It's not going to work there. They are not armed physically or intellectually versus the patriotic Americans of the country. It won't end well for Them, Doug, but no bones about it. This is what Victor Davis Hansen is saying. This is where they're going to go, because they've already been there.
Doug Burns
Yeah, everybody has danced around on eggshells, including me, in terms of raising the term civilization, war, civil war type conflict. But you just made an amazing point, and you're so right. If they want to go in that direction, that would not end well for them. But I just find it unbelievable, you know, back to how you opened. They want to say any judge over 54 is now out. I mean, are they really that blank? Crazy.
Rob Carson
Well, let's go ahead and say that anybody under 35 has to leave the Democrat Party. I mean, just how stupid.
Doug Burns
Well, that was because then Mondami would be gone.
Rob Carson
No, it's ridiculous. This is Victor Davis Hansen talking about the Democrat Party.
Political Commentator
Hold on.
Congressional Member
You put it all together and that message of the Democrats is not appealing. And so, of course, in the short term, their strategy has been we're not Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a fascist. And we're going to go demonstrate against Tesla and ICE and no Kings, and we're going to try to put him in jail and impeach him on third
Doug Burns
to all of that.
Congressional Member
But long term, it suggests that they have two choices. They either have to change their culture and go back to more traditional lifestyles to improve their demographics and to go back to the assimilationist model, as I think the Republicans have. I don't see that happening, or they would have to lower taxes and cut back entitlements in these blue states to retain.
Rob Carson
So what they're going to have to do, Doug, and I've heard the word Jacobin used frequently, they are going to try to force. They're going to try and rule us rather than reshaping their platform, becoming more appealing, coming to the center, etc. And I don't think it's going to end well for them.
Doug Burns
I mean, you know, Professor Hanson's a great, great analyst. Obviously, don't need me to say that. I've never worked with him nor interacted with him, but I have a lot of respect for him. And the fact of the matter is, another part of what he's saying, sort of between the lines, and I've said this before, is that the tragic thing for them is that, you know, they've dug themselves in so hard, so deep that they just, they cannot extricate themselves from this nonsense. Like, he's going to build concentration camps. He is like Hitler. Joe Biden looked right in the camera, said, this man's the biggest existential threat to our democracy. I mean, just sheer lunacy. But the point is they would be smart, believe it or not, to sit in a conference room and say, as crazy as it is, we're probably better off. We've got to extricate ourselves from this and move in a different direction. But they don't do it. And they just go on and on and on. And it's just, I've said, Doug, I've
Rob Carson
been saying for years, the Democrat Party is going to have to reform itself or disappear into the dustbin of history. And they are in the bin. They are in the bin. And I have no. And this is, it's happening in real time. We don't need a civil war. They've already shown that they are a confederate party. And people are fleeing their states. People are fleeing. They're already losing whatever civil war there would be. But we'll get to that. I want to also talk on the other side of the break about John Brennan exposing the deep state insiders who are trying to take Donald Trump down. Fortunately, we have another two and a half years to find them and get rid of them. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Ghostbed. I am sleeping better than I've ever slept in my entire life. I used to think a mattress was just furniture, but I got a ghostbed. Ghostbed doesn't build mattresses like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Their beds are serious health equipment, beds designed for relief and recovery, not looks. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I noticed immediately my first night on a ghost bed, I slept for 10 hours. If you're waking up stiff, tossing and turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging. That's your mattress talking. Here's another thing I love about Ghostbed. You get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, just send it back risk free. Ghostbed is currently having their Memorial Day sale plus an extra 10% off for my audience.

Legal Expert
I think, as Liz mentioned, there's still a legion of professionals in the law enforcement environment of justice as well as the CIA and other places. The ones who are refusing to follow politically motivated prosecutions, those who are refusing to support any type of political activities on the part of the Trump administration that are inconsistent with the authorities, the responsibilities of the intelligence community, law enforcement community.
Rob Carson
Now this is a man who weaponized the CIA and the, of course the FBI with Jim Comey against Donald Trump, saying that there are still these minions inside these agencies who are fighting Donald Trump. That wasn't a real smart move, I don't think. In an interview on Ms. Now, what do you think, Doug?
Doug Burns
No, not at all. I mean, for the Yiddish speakers in your audience, that's chutzpah on steroids. This was a guy right in the middle of weaponizing the government all day long. It's interesting though, I mean, and in all humility, I'm not even joking, uncharacteristically, you know, I'm not a psychiatrist, but a psychiatrist would tell you, look, that's a manifestation of an individual, you know, trying to rationalize other people's conduct, knowing full well that they themselves did that exact behavior.
Rob Carson
Projecting. He's projecting. He's projecting.
Doug Burns
Thank you. And the point is, Brennan is on my, you know, top, top, top elite list of the absolute biggest, you know, ne' er do wells on that specific topic. Raskin, Schiff, Jeffries, Comey, Elizabeth Warren, the list goes on further than that. But I think that's a good starting point. And this is a guy, honestly, who absolutely, totally and completely and thoroughly abused power. And it was disgraceful. And I'm kind of keeping my eye obviously on what's going on in the case against him and waiting to hear something.
Rob Carson
You know, you'd think they would shut the hell up and not do anything if I was under indictment. Here's Jim Comey yesterday on Ms. Now talking about Donald Trump being obsessed with him. When he calls you a dirty cop,
Commercial Announcer
what is he talking about and how does that make you feel?
Rob Carson
I don't.
Jim Comey (clip)
Honestly, it's crazy that I'm in a place where I'm 65 years old and I actually find it a little bit humorous to have this obsession by this 80 year old man with me. I don't know. And I am an honest person. I am a person who was raised to stand up and speak out. I can't do any other.
Rob Carson
And he's under indictment for threatening the President. There's obviously other things going on. But who the hell does that, Doug? Well, yeah, I mean, who does he
Doug Burns
that it's funny you say that because in the context of any, you know, federal criminal case or state criminal case for that matter, it's very, very, very fundamental, very elementary that you keep your mouth shut. You don't make statements.
Rob Carson
I know.
Doug Burns
You know. Yeah, and you're right. And this guy goes on there running his mouth and so on and so forth.
Rob Carson
He's playing with the court of public opinion.
Doug Burns
Yeah, I hear a lot of analysts, by the way, so I want your audience to focus on this. A lot of analysts are jumping right in, you know, because it's dramatic about they're going to have to prove he intended to kill him. That's absolutely false. If you look, and I know you like statutory citations once In a while, 18 USC 871, that's the applicable statute. And if people just google it quickly, you'll see that it's kill, kidnap or injure, you know, attempt to injure. So the point is not limited to killing. And that's a very important legal point which will play out in court big time because the argument from the government will be, you know, we're not required, your honor, to show that he intended to kill him.
Rob Carson
Dude, I got to tell you, we need about a five hour podcast, Doug, because we got too much stuff to talk about. Alabama AG investigates SPLC for deceptive practices. Amidst the KKK funding scandal, Steve Marshall is demanding Southern poverty Law center handover donor information, fundraising solicitations, other internal documents after a federal grand jury indicted them for, you know, paying off groups to create hate and fundraise off it. What are your thoughts on this case? Because it's going to get big and ugly, dude.
Doug Burns
It's going to get big and ugly. I couldn't agree with you more. That case is just an amazing point, which is that and the point, you know, again, I apologize to everybody for being a broken record, but these points that like the point I'm about to make now, just doesn't get across to at least 50% of the country. The fact of the matter is the reason that Southern poverty Center was down is because racism was down. Now nobody wants to hear that. That doesn't fit the preferred narrative, obviously. And I couldn't agree with you more. They're like ginning up business for themselves.
Rob Carson
It's like, it's like giving the kkk. You're on the way to the rally. Here's the crosses and here's the gasoline. I gotta tell you this, Attorney general Jay Jones, when appealing the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court, did you hear about it? First he wrote to the supreme court of Virginia instead of the Supreme Court. And then there were typos in it. He misspelled Virginia and centatur, he instead of senator, he said cent. I Mean, honestly, how do you, as somebody who has passed the bar exam as an ag. I mean, how do you show your head in public, your face in public, after something like this?
Doug Burns
And how do you not know how to hit a button called spell check? Seriously.
Rob Carson
I know, I know, I know.
Doug Burns
What was the other one? How was Virginia?
Rob Carson
Do you remember Virginia, Nema? I have no friggin idea.
Doug Burns
Yeah, well, we don't want to start getting into, you know, what do you call anatomical stuff.
Rob Carson
But the point is vagina.
Doug Burns
You read my mind on that one.
Rob Carson
I want to go to vagina. I haven't been in a while, Doug,
Doug Burns
saying, I mean, you know, again, losers. You lost, okay?
Rob Carson
I live in Virginia.
Doug Burns
The Constitution. Well, get some goddamn lawyers in a conference room to calmly explain to you if you want to do that, this is how you have to do it. You have to have one general assembly, then an election. Because by the way, they started early voting. You had 1.3 million votes before you know, you even had the thing in front of anybody. So these people are just absurd, as we've discussed. And the other thing, lastly, is always the double standards and the hypocrisy. So if we're in reverse, as we always bemoan, they'd be lecturing us. Can't you read how to.
Rob Carson
Thank you? They're so out of their head.
Doug Burns
Idiot, you know, and all that.
Rob Carson
Yeah, it's because they're so irrational. They don't care. They just. They. They're lashing out, they're scratching, they're clawing. They're trying to drag us into hell with them and whatever. Listen, if you're ever in the area, I'll show you vagina. It's spectacular.
Doug Burns
I'm not touching that. Pronunciation, sorry.
Rob Carson
All right, Doug, I'll talk to you soon, man. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is Rob Carson. Got a couple minutes left on the show. This is kind of funny. A little montage of Stephen Colbert since 2017 and his last show is going to be this month. Because you know what? He just ruined Late Night.
Stephen Colbert (clip)
Donald Trump has been sworn in as president.
Rob Carson
That's 2017 of the United States.
Stephen Colbert (clip)
I know, I know, I know. Listen, listen. We're just as confused as you are. Joe Biden did it. I sat down and just started crying with relief. And Evie said, you never have to talk about him again.
Rob Carson
Yeah, guess what?
Stephen Colbert (clip)
And then I cried with joy. After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won the 2024 election next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the late show in May.
Rob Carson
There you go. Bye, bye, bye, bye. I'd like to bring late night here. I'm just gonna say that out loud. I know the president listens or at least watches my TV show. We should do a late night show here with Newsmax. Wouldn't that be fun? Donald Trump talking about a golden ticket. I've got a golden ticket because right now the Democrat Party has a clown car for their. For their. It's number one. It's. It's AOC who's an idiot.
Political Analyst
Pete.
Rob Carson
Booty Gig, who's a terrible, terrible, terrible transportation secretary. But Donald Trump has a golden ticket,
and he's running and he's in second place. So we got a lot of. A lot of beauties out there. J.D. i envy you and other people. I don't know. Who's it going to be? Is it going to be J.D. is it going to be somebody else? I don't know. Who. Does anybody have. Okay, let's go.
Doug Burns
You ready?
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Who likes J.D. vance?
Doug Burns
Who likes Marco?
Rob Carson
Rubio?
Somebody saying that.
Doug Burns
All right.
Rob Carson
Anybody talking about that ticket sounds like
a good ticket, J.D. it's a perfect. That was a perfect ticket.
Oh, my goodness.
By the way, I do believe that's a dream team, but these are minor details. That does not mean you have my endorsement.
Doug Burns
No, no, no.
Rob Carson
Under any circumstances.
No, no, no, no.
But, you know, it's a perfect. It was a big and then a very nice. I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate.
Isn't that interesting? Who's been saying this for a while? I mean, all of us have, right? Haven't we been talking about JD and Marco? And now Marco's just, Just. I mean, blowing up the world. Just incredible. You know, I knew he was good. I knew he was good. I want to see him in 2016. When he was running in Kansas City. I was like, very impressive. Now it's like, oh, my God. Phenomenal. J.D. too. J.D. on the stump, man. J.D. since he's been, you know, as a vice president. I mean, both of them. You want to talk about a one, two punch? Phenomenal. It's. That's what it's going to be. It's going to be. It's going to be J.D. marco. That's what I think. Anyway. It's not going to be Marco. Jd. JD Won't be VP again. We'll see. Anyway, God bless you, America's founder, Donald Trump. He's doing a Great job as the president. Let's face it, our military. Well, let's finish off Iran, shall we? Free the Iranian people until tomorrow, which is Wednesday. Don't catch the stupid. Okay. I love you guys. See you.

Host: Rob Carson (Newsmax Podcasts)
Guests/Commentators: Doug Burns, political analysts, reporters, and audio from media figures
This lively episode of "The Rob Carson Show" delivers Rob’s trademark blend of satirical conservative commentary, news analysis, and cultural critique. With former federal prosecutor Doug Burns as a recurring contributor, Carson tackles political developments ranging from polling data and midterm projections to notable scandals and local government mismanagement. With his characteristic humor and biting takes, Carson skewers progressive leadership, highlights Republican prospects, and mocks both the strategies and rhetoric of Democratic officials, weaving in audio from CNN, local news, and Stephen Colbert.
"It will be very hard for them to win the midterms. And I don't think they're going to because they suck." (03:23–03:42)
"You would have thought that the Democrats' lead would expand... It didn't happen. Look, in March, Democrats are up by six points. Look at this. Now Democrats are up by three points." (03:42–03:52)
"Why did you spend $34 million? It did nothing. That's a metaphor for the Democrat Party. Duh." (06:14)
"She was a Chinese, effectively... a propagandist. She posted pro-China policies as mayor." (07:25)
"Tell me if you could possibly tell that maybe — maybe she might... maybe some red flags, literally, like red flags with yellow stars should have been raised." (08:02)
"It's like giving the kid from the daycare center the license... This woman has no practical experience, no intelligence. She's a moron." (14:32)
"I'm really proud of the work I did... to pass the job start payroll expense tax." (15:30–15:42)
“You certainly killed that. And I mentioned when she said that, she reminded me a lot of this...” [leads into "I Want It Now" song parody] (19:15)
"Sore loser. And that's what's going on here, interestingly enough..." (24:52)
"They just want to declare that everybody in the Supreme Court is too old to serve and make them all retire. What the hell?" (24:33)
"The fact is, they didn't follow the rules... You need two sessions of the General Assembly sandwiched around the vote. That's elementary." (25:16)
“The only place that Democrats can and will go is violence. It's not going to work... They are not armed physically or intellectually...” (28:30)
“Everybody has danced around on eggshells... about civilization, war, civil war... If they want to go in that direction, that would not end well for them.” (28:59)
"The Democrat Party is going to have to reform itself or disappear into the dustbin of history. And they are in the bin." (31:48)
"They’ve dug themselves in so hard, so deep, that they just cannot extricate themselves from this nonsense." (30:53)
"This is a man who weaponized the CIA... saying that there are still these minions inside these agencies fighting Donald Trump. That wasn't a real smart move." (34:02)
"In any criminal case, federal or state... it's elementary that you keep your mouth shut. And this guy goes on running his mouth..." (36:09)
"He's playing with the court of public opinion." (36:27)
"It's like giving the KKK... Here's the crosses and here's the gasoline." (38:18)
"The reason Southern Poverty Center was down is because racism was down. Now nobody wants to hear that. That doesn't fit the preferred narrative." (37:42)
"If you're ever in the area, I'll show you vagina. It's spectacular." (40:16)
"Donald Trump has been sworn in as president... Listen, listen. We're just as confused as you are." (40:41–41:03)
"Bye, bye, bye. I'd like to bring late night here. I'm just gonna say that out loud." (41:19)
"I do believe that's a dream team, but these are minor details. That does not mean you have my endorsement." (42:36–42:43)
"God bless you, America's founder, Donald Trump. ... Don't catch the stupid. Okay. I love you guys. See you." (43:28–43:52)
"They're already losing whatever civil war there would be. ... We'll get to that." (31:48)
"She's a child given the keys to the bus." (20:07)
"It's somewhere between Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm." (14:13)
"We just watch. Just gonna get some popcorn and watch." (20:07)
"This is a man who weaponized the CIA ... that's chutzpah on steroids." (34:18)
[Sings] "'I want a party with roomfuls of laughter, ... and if I don't get the things I am after, I'm gonna raise taxes on everybody...'" (19:20–19:32)
"Don't catch the stupid." (43:47)
