B (2:03)

Come on.

A (2:04)

Loud cackling Valentine.

B (2:07)

I don't miss that voice.

A (2:09)

Your life we'd all like to forget.

B (2:17)

I like the bass.

A (2:19)

Kamala, you are absentee. The border is a travesty.

B (2:29)

She was a border shark.

A (2:30)

You're a terrible vp.

B (2:36)

The worst yet. Give me a valentine.

A (2:50)

Tell me that you'll resign.

B (2:53)

Hope she won't be a stalker.

A (2:55)

Lo, your poll numbers are so low.

B (3:06)

Come.

A (3:09)

It'S time to go.

B (3:12)

And she's gone. Thank God she is gone. It was. It was a short relationship and she's one of those. One of those. You know, she'll be stalking us for a few years and we'll try to ignore her. And hopefully we'll have to wake up someday to have a bunny boiling on the stove because, you know, you know, she's one of those. Anyway, welcome to the show. A lot of stuff to get to on the show today. The big news, I guess, you know, RFK Jr. Is going to take over HHS and try to make us healthy again because we have a CDC and an HHS and an FDA that are all bought and paid for by Big Food and Big Pharma. And basically they give a lot of money to those agencies and those agencies rubber stamp whatever they want to give us. So that's how we got to the point where we're all riding around on three wheeled electric carts in the grocery store because we're so fat we can't get out of our seat and walk around the store to buy more products that make us fat. You know, that's why. So he is the new HHS secretary, and here he is yesterday. I want you to listen to this. And you might want to be a little, a little frightened by this guy, you know, because, I mean, well, he actually mentions the word God.

A (4:16)

For 20 years, I've gotten up every morning on my knees and prayed that God would put me in a position where I can end the childhood chronic disease.

B (4:28)

Oh, yeah, he's definitely a Hitler follower.

A (4:31)

On August 23rd of last year, God sent me President Trump. He's now given me. He's kept every promise that he's made to me. He's kept his word in every account and gone way beyond it. I'm so grateful to you, Mr. President. A lot of people told me that I couldn't trust President Trump. I better get it in writing. And we did a handshake and everything that he told me he was going to do, he has done. Yeah, right. And I'm so grateful to him. And I've told you before, I genuinely believe that you are a pivotal historical figure and you are going to transform this country.

B (5:21)

Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, I wish Donald Trump was my agent because I can't tell you how many agents I shake it hands with. And then immediately the, the thing that we promised was completely in the toilet. That aside, this is pretty remarkable because RFK Jr. Was chased from the Democrat Party. So was Tulsi Gabbard, so was Elon Musk. All of them were chased from the Democrat Party. Yeah, yeah. All of them were chased from the Democrat Party. RFK Jr. Was trying to run for president, but the Democrat Party decided that Joe Biden was going to be the, the candidate, even though he had dementia, but he could do everything that the left wanted him to do and consequently drove the entire country into the toilet. And the left is caterwauling and screaming that RFK Jr might make America healthy again. And, and by the way, they're also cataralling and screaming about the Department of Education and, and how could we dare get rid of the Department of Education? Well, here's the deal. I think we've got kind of the same thing going on here. 70% of our kids cannot read at grade level and 70% of us are overweight or obese. You see there? Yeah. So I don't know how the Democrats defend the indefensible when they've done such a terrible job to get us so illiterate and so obese. But here is Chuck Schumer. He's saying he doesn't like RFK Jr. Even though he's WR. Six books on, you know, the, the poisoning of our children and the, and the abuses of our government and the bought and poor paid for FDA and CDC and HHS written six books on it, filed countless lawsuits against Big Pharma and Big Food because of all of those things. But he is not qualified.

A (6:51)

Previous HHS secretaries have had a farm.

B (6:54)

You know, this guy has scales on his spine.

A (6:56)

Pharmaceutical industry background. Have been a state health commissioner, have run a fart.

B (7:01)

A pharmaceutical industry background. That's a good. How well has that worked for us?

A (7:06)

Systems have been governors. Somebody who has had a background in actually administering the programs.

B (7:14)

Well, everybody who has admitted during the programs until now have failed miserably.

A (7:19)

Chucky, HHS administers. I asked my colleagues, which of these qualifications does RFK possess? You know the answer? None of them.

B (7:30)

No. No. I would say that the people who are supposedly qualified in running all the agencies have destroyed every metric of health in our country. They have. And I told you that. That Joe Biden destroyed every metric of quality of life in America. Right. The economy destroyed every metric. Our DOE has destroyed every metric of education. Our cdc, hhs, FDA have destroyed every metric of health. We are fat, dumb and stupid, thank you very much. That's what we are right now. We're fat, sick and stupid. And it's all because the government has done that to us. Because when I was growing up, I don't know you knew this, but there were no three wheeled electric carts to haul people who were so obese around the grocery store so they could put more stuff in their cart to make them more obese. Remember that? I don't remember that ever happening. I don't remember anybody having to, you know, to get a seat belt extension when you fly on an airliner. I never saw that before. I never saw people so heavy that they had to be wheeled through the airport to the gate where they get on first and they sit in the front row taking up two seats. I never saw that before. I never did. No, no, I never did see that. And I never saw, I don't know, you know, one out of 30 kids with autism when I was growing up. None of the kids I knew had autism. But I've got all sorts of neighbors and friends who have kids with autism now. Don't you think maybe we ought to look at those things? Or do you want to keep going down this road? Because the Democrats want us to go down the road, the road to destruction. It's already kept us there. And they told us that none of this was true. They told us that inflation was perfectly fine. We know inflation was terrible. They told us the border was sealed and that way. And I could go on and on about all the things they've lied about. And the Democrat Party, you have no standing. You have no standing to protest anything because you and this federal government which is rife with corruption, bloat and you know, there's bankrupt. They bankrupt us. This government has. And that's why Donald Trump has come in and he's fixing it. And here are the. The harpies from hell, the cast members of the View. I always say, you know, I screw that up because they sound much alike. Here's of course the, the View stoking irrational fear about vaccines.

A (9:43)

How do you think RFK is going to handle birds will just run over the chickens and yeah, I mean what.

B (9:49)

Is he going to do? My God in heaven, how stupid do you have to be to watch this show?

A (9:52)

Somebod that they were afraid for their lives and also for the lives of.

B (9:56)

Well, the chickens should be afraid for.

A (9:57)

Their lives, their children and their wives. It's not just being, not being reelected. It's physical threats that go on. All I can say is get your vaccines now, America.

B (10:06)

Well, it's just stupid. Honestly, it's just stupid. Fear mongering sky is falling nonsense which the left is very much in favor of. Meanwhile, the childless Joy Behar doesn't recognize the sickness of all of our kids. All of our kids who are are now too heavy. Not enough people to join the military because they're too heavy to join the milit. And little boy is being given all sorts of psychoactive drugs for ADHD and add that they never met. How about just letting them go out and play in the, in the yard, in the schoolyard? How about that? How about that? You've had your shot. We had your, we had our chance at a two party solution and you blew it. Just like the two state solution in, in Gaza. You had your chance, you blew it. And now there are some people here who actually want to fix things. This is MSNBC cutting to commercials. When RFK Jr made that brilliant about.

A (10:57)

God, Dr. Drew up Dike, thank you very much for joining us. As RFK Jr gets sworn in to lead HHS, every other network carried it. Appreciate it. Coming up, what we know about the abrupt resignation.

B (11:08)

Wow.

A (11:08)

Of the top federal prosecutor in New York. Lisa Rubin predicted this yesterday. We're going to have her on next.

B (11:15)

Well, it's because MSNBC has a lot of sponsorships from big pharma and big food. And here they are talking over Donald Trump when he was talking during RFK approval and swearing in.

A (11:26)

Donald Trump is outstanding speaking at the lectern before RFK Jr will be sworn in. When we come out of this, we're going to talk to a practicing physician and expert in health systems management. That person's going to give us everything about what it is, filibustering mean what it would, the purview and the remit for RFK Jr. So let's listen to this and then we'll come out.

B (11:47)

Oh, there you go. Let it go.

A (11:48)

We're not going to listen to this. I'm so sorry.

B (11:50)

No, no, you wouldn't let the president talk.

A (11:52)

I'm sorry. We're gonna watch this for now. Joining us, practicing physician and expert in health systems manager.

B (11:59)

This is why MSNBC is dead. They are, they're just there is toast now. Coming up, we've got a. Oh, Donald Trump going off on Mitch McConnell. We have got all sorts of news coming out of New York with going after illegals and whatnot. Your phone calls as well, guys. 800-922-6680. This, my friends, is a glorious Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show.

A (12:21)

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details.

B (12:38)

Donald Trump signing an executive order.

A (12:42)

Mr. President, you've won the White House in part because of high inflation. If your tariffs make prices go up. Excuse me, we haven't asked you to speak yet.

B (12:51)

Please. That is Kaitlan Collins being shut down. Shut down in a blaze of glory yesterday as Donald Trump signed this thing for reciprocal tariffs. I don't know if, you know, this sounds kind of technical, all of that, but it is basically the United States saying, oh, you're gonna tariff us. We're gonna tariff your goods at exactly the same rate. That's fair. Kids, I don't know if you knew that. That is absolutely 100% fair. It's like when you play burnout. Remember when you played burnout when you were a kid and you just punch your friend's the upper part of his arm, and he'd punch you back. That's what you get. You don't just allow somebody to punch you and not punch back. And so that's what he's doing with reciprocal tariffs, which is absolutely fair. By the way, here's the President of the United States. And by the way, this is going to be worth a lot of money to America. This is going to be worth a lot of. But inflation's going to go through the ceiling. No, it's not, because the, the other countries are going, oh, crap, you're going to do that? Well, we better cut our tariffs then. But here he is.

A (13:45)

And on trade, I have decided for purposes of fairness that I will charge a reciprocal tariff, meaning whatever countries charge the United States of America.

B (13:55)

Yeah.

A (13:55)

We will charge them. No more, no less.

B (13:59)

Fair.

A (14:00)

They charge us a tax or tariff.

B (14:02)

Yeah.

A (14:02)

And we charge them the exact same tax or tariff.

B (14:07)

That almost sounds like you could learn it on Sesame street or something. It's only fair. Do, do, do. Reciprocal tariffs, you know? Yeah, that's what it sounds. It's that simple. It's that simple is the. You know, you tear me. I tiffer you tariff you at the, at the same rate. And if you don't like that, I'm going to match the tariff that you started. You started it then just catch your tariff. That's all you got to do. It's all you got to do. You know that BMWs that come over here, there's only like a two and a half percent tariff. And American cars, it's like 10% over there. That's why you don't see F150s driving around in, in Munich. You don't see them. It's too bad too, because honestly I, I wouldn't have a BMW or Mercedes because they. So $150 for a damn oil change. Why would I ever want that? Plus neither one of them make a pickup truck or an SUV that I would, I would want to drive. So there is, there is that. So he's saying reciprocal tariffs are completely fair. I'm agreeing with him. Absolutely 100%. And it's only fair, you know, we're entering a golden era here in the economy, and it's going to be glorious. I know that. What Harry entered on cnn. I'll share this in a minute. He's. He's already said, well, Americans are concerned about inflation. Why hasn't inflation come down? It's been three damn weeks. Even though Joe Biden said literally, like right before he was, you know, left office, he's, oh, it's gonna take years for my great programs to kick in right now. I know things suck and they've sucked for four years, but trust me, my programs are gonna kick in. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been in office for three weeks. He's already saved us billions and billions of dollars, will save us trillions and trillions of dollars, has uncovered corruption in our government and misuse of our taxpayer money that we never dreamed of. And they're bitching because the price of eggs haven't. Hasn't. I'm sorry, I should say complaining. They're complaining about the price of eggs. I know, it's really ridiculous. And honestly, they're looking for anything. Like I said, the left, they are like movie vampires. They are dragging and screaming and trying to drag us into hell with them. We're driving a stake in their heart and they're coming up with all sorts of things like, well, inflation hasn't come down yet. Gosh darn it. What the heck? I thought you said you're going to do it day one. Why isn't the war between Russia and Ukraine ended? You said you're going to do it day one. He got the ball rolling on day one and he got American hostages released before he was sworn in. So there is that. They even out. They even. It's like reciprocal tariffs. So there still is the, the problem with all of these, these, you know, social care and Medicare, they're teetering on bankruptcy. We're still $36 trillion in debt. You still need to protect your family's future. Gold is a way to do it. That's why I have invested some of my money in Birch Gold. You should as well. Gold is a safe haven in hard economic times. And Lord knows the last four years have been that we're still digging out. Birch Gold will help you transition an existing IRA or 401k into gold. It doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket. Protect your future today. Text my name, Rob, to 989-898-98-9898. There you go. Get your free gold info kit the ultimate guide for gold of the Trump era is this little pamphlet. You're going to get there and then of course it's got a forward in it from Don Drump Jr. No obligation, only information. Text my name, Rob to 989-8984 Birch Gold, if you would. This is kind of cool, you know, the United States. One of my biggest issues the last four to nine years was the censorship of our speech. Like the former Soviet Union, our federal government tried to create a disinformation governance board just like Joseph Stalin did it. They call it disinformation. Stalin called it disinformation. And here is J.D. vance over in Munich and not driving a Ford F150. And I want you to listen to what he has to say about the United States of America. Because we exported censorship all over the world and you can blame it on usaid. I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country. We have the First Amendment where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so called misinformation. They also kept advertisers from advertising on places like this show and Newsmax. Misinformation. Like for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely leaped from leaked from a laboratory. No, no, it came from a lab in China and it was actually financed by money from USAID in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be and obvious truth. Yeah, it was. So I come here today like Joe Biden's dementia, not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite. This is glorious. Free speech spread around the world that will free people. And I hope that we can work together on that in Washington. There is a new sheriff in town and under Donald Trump's leadership. We may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square.

A (19:20)

Agree or disagree, there you go.

B (19:22)

Just like it is here in the United States of America. And the Democrat Party did the opposite of that. They wanted to silence half of the political equation and they did it. And they did it for a while. And we're still recovering from that. We still are. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I want to mention something real quick here. You know, we're on a bunch of stations across the country. We're also streaming live on Newsmax, Rumble, Facebook and Twitter. You can see the video of the of the show as it's going in real time.

A (22:01)

And this should have been done by Biden years ago. This should have never been allowed to happen. I know he's a friend of yours. He's a friend of cnn. That's why nobody watches CNN anymore because they have no, no credibility.

B (22:14)

That is our chief executive going after cnn. Kaitlan Collins embarrassed yesterday. Donald Trump shut her down a couple of different times and of course made fun of CNN because their ratings are terrible. I don't know if you knew this but little old Newsmax is beating the heck out of, out of CNN in prime time with Rob Schmidt and Carl Higby and Rob Finnerty and all of that. And millions of people are watching CNN turning, or I should say Newsmax, not CNN turning off CNN turning off Fox. Reuters says Newsmax, one of the top new brands in America. And I think you're really going to enjoy it. I really do. And then of course, my TV show is this weekend. It's called Rob Carson's what in the World. And if you haven't seen it, it's a Saturday night and Sunday night and then they run it again on early morning on Monday. And that's when Donald Trump watches it and he says, I'm the funniest guy on tv. So it's kind of interesting. My show's been on Newsmax is Saturday nights for about four years, four and a half years. And now Fox is devoting Saturday nights after 8pm to comedy with that weird in that weird. So anyway, you should definitely check us out on cable and satellite. Download the Newsmax app, okay? And get Newsmax plus. That's how I watch it on my phone when I'm working out or listening to it when I'm in my, my Bronco Buck. I like to do that. So anyway, let's go to some phones here, shall we? On a Friday, the Mark in Baltimore on this glorious flight, Friday slash Valentine's Day. Mark, what's going on, my friend?

A (23:39)

Yes, good afternoon. Shalom. First of all, I wish you a happy flower day since it is February 14 today. But the reason I was calling you were talking to the first segment in reference to RFK Jr being the new secretary for Health and Human Services here in the state of Maryland. People are talking about in the state legislature about soft drinks, soda with high sugar intake. So my question, it's a two part question. Number one, has RFK Jr said anything about what he's going to do with the sugary drinks? And also for some of us, yours truly, drink the alternative, which is diet soda, zero sugar, all that. And in my coffee and tea I use, I have to admit it is aspartame. You know, like sweet, no Splendor and Nutrisweet.

B (24:24)

Aspartame. My God, is it 1975 again? What the hell? Aspartame.

A (24:29)

Aspartame, that's correct. Are you gonna, is it gonna raise high taxes or have the surgeon.

B (24:33)

No, he's not.

A (24:34)

Warnings on both kinds.

B (24:36)

No, he's not. None of that. Mark, thanks for the phone call and a great shabbat. To you, by the way. Thank you. Okay, no, here. Here's what I'm hearing. It's more about awareness than anything. The food industry has already started to act. They've already started to. Some companies have started to get rid of red dye, whatever the hell this red dye number seven or whatever. They're starting to react also, by the way, steak and shake, which is, I think, a largely Midwestern concern. They do smash burgers and little skinny french fries. And it's glorious, too, by the way. Oh, my God, it's so good. So good. And they're going to start using beef tallow in the fryers. Now, let me explain what that means to you. Years ago, McDonald's and everybody else started putting vegetable oil in the fryers. And you're thinking, oh, vegetable oil, that's much healthier than beef fat, you know, because tallow is like lard. Lard is pig fat. Tallow is beef fat, okay? So they take the beef fat and they fry the french fries in beef fat. Guess what? Beef fat doesn't give you heart disease. You know what gives you heart disease? Vegetable oil. And then they also do the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are these. I remember I used to be a fry cook, and it was. It's. It comes in a block. Crisco. Don't eat Crisco. Crisco will kill you. All right, I know that there are. Some people use Crisco for other things. Let's not get into that. That won't cause heart disease. But wrestling is fine anyway. But that's partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. That is heart disease. You. It will cause you heart disease. All right? But beef tallow does not. This is why your grandma kept a little can of bacon fat on the stove. Because she used bacon fat as an oil rather than partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Because partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is going to give you heart disease. So is margarine. Margarine is crap if you eat margarine. I mean, what the hell are you thinking? Use real butter. It's a dairy product. It's perfectly fine. Now, if you got a little high cholesterol, you're going to cut back on the usage, but you're better off eating real food. I know about this. As far as what RFK is going to do, it's really about awareness more than anything. He's not going to tax sugary beverages. That's what Democrats do. Democrats do stupid crap like that, and all it does is drive up the cost of groceries and everything. And then they start Nitpicking and regulating and then, you know, gets down, like how many grams of sugar in that stick of gum or whatever the hell you if stupid. But he is there to create awareness. And the companies are starting to react to it. They're starting to react to it. And the FDA and the CDC and the HHS ain't gonna be getting all this money from Big Pharma and Big Food anymore. So that's how things are gonna change, I believe, and I think it's gonna be for the better. I really do. Let's go to Sam in Annapolis. Hello, Sam. Welcome to the Rob Carson Show. What's going on?

A (27:19)

Hi, Rob. How you doing?

B (27:20)

I'm glorious. What's happening? Happy Valentine's Day. Bye.

A (27:23)

The way. Thank you. Same to you.

B (27:26)

Yeah. What's up?

A (27:28)

You know, I've been a Trump. I've been a conservative all my life, and I voted for Trump twice. I'm worried about the way they're shutting things down. Do you know that clinical trials for cancer have all been shut down?

B (27:45)

No, I had not heard that. And I, I would have to see that in writing before anything like that happens.

A (27:51)

Well, I have a friend I've known since seventh grade, and she's been fighting cancer for 12 years and her clinical trials have been shut down because I don't even know what he. Shut down. Shut down. But they've got to be a little more careful in what they're doing.

B (28:07)

Sure, sure, Sam. Just real quick, let me. Let me say I'm real quick. Donald Trump is also going to reinstate the policy that he had during his last presidency, which is allowing people who have stage four terminal cancer to use experimental treatments without worry about the government getting in the way. So I would imagine if there's any spending associated with a program like that, that, that it'll be. That will end very quickly as they are going through with a fine tooth comb all of the wasteful spending in government. So I would have to check into what you're saying there, my friend. I don't believe they would intentionally shut down a clinical trial because he did expand it during his last presidency. What's your second point, my friend?

A (28:46)

I work for the federal government. I work for dod, and I'm a forensic auditor and I recruit people voluntarily for dod.

B (28:55)

Okay.

A (28:56)

And I would really be, you know, there's so many gray heads like me. I'll be 70 next week that need to retire at some point and give way to the younger people. And sure, he shouldn't be terminating people that just hired on and haven't made it up to their two year probation.

B (29:15)

Because, well, all the probationary employees are frozen right now, all the new hires. And the reason being is because the Biden administration hired people in mass to inflate their jobless or I should say not inflate, but deflate the jobless numbers. The lion's share of all of the jobs created the Biden administration were either illegals or government employees. So unfortunately, if you're a probationary government employee, that's going to be on hold. In the meantime, as far as you, I do not believe it's going to affect your retirement. There are some people who are given buyouts, but those who have earned a retirement are not going to be affected by it.

A (29:54)

Sam. Right, I understand that. I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about the future of the government, having young people that will grow and be the future. Well, they're there that I help. Yeah, I'm sorry.

B (30:09)

No, no, Sam help.

A (30:10)

I tell them you're the, you're the future of DoD.

B (30:13)

Yeah, exactly.

A (30:14)

I hate to see him come in and just tell people you're fired, you.

B (30:17)

Know, but I understand that, Sam. But the, the DOD is a giant, wasteful, corrupt organization.

A (30:26)

So papers on what we should be doing.

B (30:29)

Oh, brother. And that stuff's going to happen and Hegseth is going to do a great job. Hegseth is going to be a great dod. The people who have been hired over the last four years are their probationary period. They may be terminated. This does not mean that they're terminating young people. They're going to have ma. They've already got massive increases of recruitment in the military, but there is a freeze on hiring right now. That doesn't mean that they're not going to usher in new employees. They're going to clear out a lot of people who have been worthless. They're going to clear out a lot of corruption and then the hiring will start. But in the meantime, the madness has to stop. Sam, I appreciate you, man. Let's go to Dan in New Hampshire where we're on the voice of New Hampshire. 4 glorious radio stations in the Granite State. How you doing, my friend?

A (31:13)

Thanks. Rob Trump is absolutely right on reciprocal tariff. Okay? And I'm going to tell you why. Okay? It's very easy. This fake induced trade war. Canada exports. 75% of Canada exports go to the U.S. in Mexico, it's 80%. Well, U.S. only sends 14 to the Canada and 16 to Mexico. So there was never a trade war. And you're right. The other countries. He's right. When you look at Canada, they're charging us between 270 to 290% tariff on milk, butter, cheese needs, and that's what people got to look at. And during the primaries up here in New Hampshire, Trump talks about, instead of pirates, instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enriching our citizens.

B (32:11)

Hell, yeah, man. We need to do an external. We need to do an external revenue Service, not an Internal Revenue service. Instead of punishing the American people, let the. Let the people of the world pay our tariffs. It's only fair. Dan, I appreciate the call. You know, Canada and Mexico have been sucker fish on the United States of America. They. They benefit greatly from being the closest to the United states of America, 100%. And Mexico has really abused the relationship. And here's the problem that I've experienced in my life. Sometimes if you treat people too well and you end up doing all the giving and they don't give anything in return, you just get treated worse.

A (32:50)

Whoa.

B (32:50)

Is that almost metaphorical for Valentine's Day? No. Sometimes even in work, if you. If you are really nice and you give and give to other people and they don't reciprocate, they don't care about you, and they will take you for granted. Mexico has done that. Who in their right mind would be a neighbor of the United States of America and allow the southern border to be open and traffic people illegally through your country knowing you are sending Venezuelan gang members, knowing that you are sending illegal fentanyl to kill millions of Americans or hundreds of thousands of Americans to traffic children and women across the southern border for sex and for labor? Who would do that? Who would do that? Well, maybe it's a little suckerfish country south of here who we've been too kind to for too long? Because honestly, you've been nursing on the United States teat for a very long time. And it's about time that America said, hey, if you're gonna live under the blanket of security of being right next to us, you better start treating us right. And the same goes for Canada. It's only fair, guys. It's only fair. We have been the beacon of freedom around the world. And we have given and given and given till it hurts. And we have gone in and we've rebuilt countries after they've been destroyed by other countries and etc. And now we're still being b slapped by the entire world, by the United nations, by NATO, etcetera, and that gravy train is over. If you're going to experience the benefit of trading with America, of living next to America, put out or shut up, as I like to say. There you go. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Quitted now.

A (34:43)

More firms arrive today. Gavin Clagar and others arrive today at the irs. Do you expect to close the IRS or what are you expecting? No, I don't expect it, but I think that the, the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else. Just about everybody is going to be looked at. So it's, they're doing a hell of a job. It's an amazing job they're doing. And you know, that force is building these, I call it the force of super geniuses, but it's building. And you know, they go up and they talk to some of the people about certain deals and the people get all tongue tied. They can't talk because these people get it. They're very smart people. We need smart people.

B (35:22)

Yes. You know, the, the IRS has been abusive for a very long time. Joe Biden hired in another 87,000 IRS agents so they could comb over your returns and they could find one little line, one little line and terrify you so badly you'll pay up. That's really what it was all about. And all of that is over there being sent to the border, by the way. They're being sent to the border. Doge has slashed millions more in nonsense contracts. The federal judges apparently put a lock on the or resume the spending of usaid whatever has been already contract signed whatnot. That, that may not stand and hopefully it does it because it's a bunch of crap. There was a $36,000 contract for DEI related workshops at a Homeland Security cancellation of a million dollar contract that supports gender X Alternative on Social Security applications. So you don't have to put down whether you have a, you know, a PP or a 9A, as it were, contracts being canceled at the Forest Service, a branch of the USDA, including 375 on DEI and onboarding services and other $30,000 on Central America Assessment agenda, assessment consultant. All of this, it's all ridiculous. Not one dime should be spent on this nonsense. USAID gave $3 million to a rapper in Gaza who produced anti Semitic songs. Maybe you heard about that. Mike Lawler said, what the hell are we doing paying for, you know, this, this rapper who sings anti Semitic songs, giving him $2 million. Here is Mike Lawler talking about that. This is again Your tax money. What could $3 million do in your life that it's doing for this guy in Gaza?

A (37:01)

But then you look at some of the expenditures by USAID. For instance, I uncovered over $3 million to a rap artist in Gaza producing anti Israel, anti Semitic songs. Is that the best use of use of American taxpayer dollars?

B (37:20)

Well, it also foments rage and hate against the Jewish people, by the way, would venture not. And so that's not protected speech, kids. And they don't have a first amendment over there.

A (37:29)

Things that we're going to do in this hearing tomorrow, obviously, is go through what actually is the role of usaid. What should they be focused on and frankly, what have they been focused on? And I think one of the things to keep in mind mind Joe, in other parts of the world, some of the woke ideology that USAID was promoting is not welcome.

B (37:53)

No, it's not welcome at all. They hate it. Radical lgbtq RST and transgender nonsense. And also they were doing experiments with little kitties and puppies and rats and hamsters, and they were changing, trying to cross change their gender and then put them, you know, a club drugs in their system. It was really, I mean, very minglesque, very, very mingle esque. And I'm glad that we have a little bit of common sense. Common Sense. Who said 2024 had to be the year that we return to common sense from nonsense. And by God, if you can't believe that, you know, transgender sex treatments on children and animals is. Is nonsense, then honestly, you need to pull your head out of the sand or, or somewhere else. Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene.

A (38:38)

The gentle lady yields. I now recognize myself for closing remarks. President Trump was elected with a mandate to rein in unaccountable bureaucracy in Washington.

B (38:48)

Mandate is not for you single ladies out there. It's something completely different.

A (38:51)

And to wage war on waste. I know that because I campaigned alongside him and so did my colleagues. This hearing was the first battle of that war. And in the coming days, the subcommittee will release a report with legislative solutions to the problems we have identified here.

B (39:10)

Yeah, and this is long overdue. Normally we wait till we're, you know, 40 to get a colonoscopy. The United States has waited 250 years. I think it's a perfect analogy. We're removing cancerous legions and polyps all over the place. And we're discovering that we've had plenty of money to feed our people. We've had plenty of money to shelter our homeless. We've had plenty of money to help out those who've gone through natural disasters. The federal government had just chosen to spend it on their own pet projects and enrich themselves and enrich themselves and ignore our people. FEMA has become a worthless organization. They don't do anything. If you ask anybody in eastern North Carolina after Hurricane Helene, they didn't even see FEMA trucks around. There was nobody there. There was nobody there because there was a conscious decision to ignore them. And that is stopped. And we've been helping the entire world and we've been doling out money to special projects and pet projects, and it's been getting people to be getting kickbacks and been getting rich forever. While we feasted on crumbs, they ate foie gras. We got crumbs. This is a revolutionary moment in America, and it's long overdue. It's absolutely long overdue. And it should be welcome because the rest of us have had to go through hell the last few years, right? Have you gone through hell the last four years? I've been through hell and back the last five or six years. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Prosper Wellness. Do your knees hurt?
