- The episode frames Washington’s physical comeback as proof that one serious push for order, beauty, and civic pride can reverse years of Democrat-led decay, and uses the city’s cleanup as a symbol of a broader national fight against managed decline. - It also blasts the anti-American reflex on the left, from artists bailing on the 250th celebration to Democrats still defending Biden-era failure, arguing that their politics now runs on resentment, rot, and contempt for the country itself.

Holy cow.
Rob Carson
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.
And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. You know, it was a four day
Co-host/Guest
week, but it really kind of felt like a five day week.
Rob Carson
Welcome to it.
Co-host/Guest
Please come inside. We've got so much stuff.
Rob Carson
I mean, literally just putting together the show, even, even still doing show prep.
Co-host/Guest
Just a minute, just a minute ago.
Rob Carson
Still doing show prep because there's so much stuff going on out there. It's, it's a big deal for me today.
Co-host/Guest
I am, for the first time in my life, I'm just telling you, I'm, I'm debt free. It's kind of crazy. I, I paid off my truck today.
Rob Carson
My Buck, Buck, my Bronco. I paid off my truck.
Co-host/Guest
So I, I am officially debt for the debt free for the first time in my life.
Rob Carson
It's kind of crazy.
Co-host/Guest
I don't have any credit cards, don't
Rob Carson
have any car loans.
Co-host/Guest
It's.
Rob Carson
We don't have a mortgage anymore because.
Co-host/Guest
Well, part of the reason why, you know, I paid off Buck was because I, you know, a house in Kansas. So I am not in Kansas anymore. I'm gonna tell you right now, you
Rob Carson
know, Kansas is nice for people who live in Kansas.
Co-host/Guest
I mean, if you live in Kansas, God bless you.
Rob Carson
But you know, a couple years ago
Co-host/Guest
my wife said, let's make this our forever home. And I went, I don't want to
Rob Carson
spend forever in Kansas again. Nothing against Kansas. Some people like Kansas. Somebody, people like a state that has no place that anybody would ever come to vacation. It's okay. There's a lot of people who farm
Co-host/Guest
there and enjoy the country life. And then you can see the Milky
Rob Carson
Way at night and everything. It's really nice. They love the sunflow in the fall. But it wasn't for me. Wasn't for me. I'm in Washington D.C. i was down by the Potomac river last night.
Co-host/Guest
And it is absolutely lovely here right now.
Rob Carson
It is absolutely beautiful. In Washington, D.C. we had a really crummy weekend. It was rainy and all that, but it was beautiful. And I was down there. Thousands of high school kids were visiting from Colorado and Omaha, Nebraska, by the
Co-host/Guest
way, that's my hometown originally. And I talked to a few of the people in charge of the kids,
Rob Carson
you know, and told them a few
Co-host/Guest
things about the area and whatnot and just took it all in. It is odd to live in a
Rob Carson
place that is, for better or worse, not only the, the, you know, the, the home of the Federal Government, Washington, D.C. the unbelievable beauty of the monuments which are.
Co-host/Guest
All the fountains are going now.
Rob Carson
They've got to. Union Station is spotless. The, I guess it's Columbus Circle out in front of it, it was covered with graffiti and there were homeless encampments around it when Joe Biden was the president had antifa spray painted logos on it. It was hell. It was hell. It was a metaphor for the Democrat Party. It for the Democrat Party and the rule of the Democrat Party. And it's still going on in places like Los Angeles, which hopefully soon will have a Republican mayor. California, which will soon have a Republican governor. Cities like New York, cities like Chicago, cities like Detroit, cities like St. Louis. Hell on earth for decades. Hell on earth for decades. And Donald Trump has come in and these. I'll tell you what, they're demons. The Democrat Party are like demonic. They are dark, awful, everything is bad. They're not Even celebrating the 250th anniversary of our country. And they hate America as founded. They want to overthrow America, make it into a socialist Marxist paradise which is always hell on Earth. And we beat them back. We beat back the demons from hell and they're still clawing at us and scratching at us and trying to pull us into hell with them. And we're not going. And we're not going. And if you listen to this show and you come to Washington D.C. give me a heads up on social media and I'll do my level best to meet as many as you I can. I've got a trip coming up October
Co-host/Guest
25th through the 29th with Watura and
Rob Carson
travel and it's wonderful. I got a bunch of listeners coming in for that.
Co-host/Guest
But I'm gonna tell you, it is
Rob Carson
just so darn beautiful here in Washington, D.C. right now.
Co-host/Guest
And it is becoming the shining city on the hill for the first time in decades.
Rob Carson
And all it took, all it took
Co-host/Guest
was one man to come in and
Rob Carson
do it and make a difference. And if you don't like it, you can kiss my. But honestly, if you don't like the ballroom, kiss it. If you don't like the new reflecting pool, kiss it. If you don't like the fact that there's going to be a magnificent MMA fight on the White house grounds on June 14, I don't even care. Honestly, don't even care. Because you are awful, awful people. I shared this yesterday. This is a little montage of a woman in Washington D.C. and the president and a fountain that had been shut down for a decade and all it took was somebody doing something. Whereas in Baltimore, which is now hell on earth, the schools in Baltimore, number two worst in the country and the Democrat Party is in charge of that state. By the way, they're just now fighting all sorts of Medicaid fraud in Maryland. Cause, you know, duh. And this West Moore idiot, the Fresh Prince of Bel Airhead, who's the governor. They had the Bay Bridge, or not the Bay Bridge, but the Francis Scott Key Bridge there was knocked over by a container ship about a year and a half ago. They originally said a billion to $2 billion to fix it. He had it already up to billion dollars and they had to fire the contractor. Now nobody's building it. So because you know Maryland, It'll probably cost $50 billion and it won't open until after 2030. That's your Democrat Party. That is your Democrat Party. And they live in darkness. They want people who are dependent, needy and aggrieved. That's what they want. But guess what? People are waking up and going, we don't have to live this way.
Local Resident
I've lived near Meridian hill Park in D.C. for almost two years. The water's never been in the pond there. This has never happened before. I was always too afraid.
Rob Carson
That was joy.
Co-host/Guest
I don't know if you knew this. That was an expression of joy.
Rob Carson
Listen real quick.
Local Resident
Water's never been in the pond there. This has never happened before.
Rob Carson
Oh my God.
Local Resident
I was always too afraid to come here because of the homeless people. But they're all gone now.
Rob Carson
Meanwhile, in Democrat run cities, Seattle and Los Angeles, it's terrifying to live here. And it's even more terrifying that the city is absolutely doing nothing to protect the citizens in this neighborhood.
Reporter/Commentator
We're just afraid that somebody, that a neighbor is going to have to die before the city will do something.
News Analyst
That's Seattle.
Political Commentator
Really ineffective policies that aren't working. I mean, inside safe didn't work. Nothing works. Nothing that Mayor Bass or Nithya Ramon or any. Any.
Rob Carson
I'm calling her Nitwit Ramen. Okay. It's Nitwit Ramen from now on. And Karen Bass Hole 1 in power,
Political Commentator
has done to curb homelessness.
Advertiser/Promoter
I don't think they get it.
Political Commentator
I think that they don't have to have their kids at a public school walking over homeless encampments.
Rob Carson
Yeah. Homeless campus feces, all that. That's the Democrat Party they did in San Francisco. They had maps of human feces. Here's a guy, a man of color. Yeah. A man of color in Washington, D.C. what's up, y'?
Listener/Caller
All? This is Judiciary squ. Washington, D.C. northwest, Washington, D.C. crazy. In about five hours, you had the vendors out here selling hot dogs, selling chips and things, things like that.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, man, you see the vendors, they got a street down there, 17th street,
Rob Carson
near the capital, like 20 food trucks. You can have everything you want. And they are just so happy to serve you.
Listener/Caller
This train station right here, I used to work in this building and people are working. It's like business open up.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listener/Caller
I can recall just about 10 years ago, I used to work in that building. And when you come outside, you see homeless on the streets, you see craz. I don't want.
Rob Carson
I don't know.
Listener/Caller
I don't know if I should call them crazy. That's the right word. But people. That wasn't quite natural. All over the place.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah.
Listener/Caller
You know that. It was so called sanctuary cities.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah.
Listener/Caller
You go around in the alleys and things like that, you see tents.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah.
Listener/Caller
You see feces.
Co-host/Guest
It was that way. It was that way here in D.C.
Listener/Caller
i mean, it was just a little bit different.
Co-host/Guest
Not anymore then.
Listener/Caller
During the Biden administration, when you came downtown, all you saw was. It was just quiet. It was like it was desert.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
It killed it.
Listener/Caller
There were no vendors.
Co-host/Guest
Democrats killed it.
Listener/Caller
I don't know what the vendors did for a living.
Co-host/Guest
No.
Listener/Caller
The bars, all the clubs were closed down.
Rob Carson
All the bars and clubs are closed.
Listener/Caller
Office buildings were still here.
Rob Carson
Office buildings.
Listener/Caller
Everybody was working from home.
Rob Carson
Everybody's working from home.
Listener/Caller
These officers didn't have much to do because there were nobody downtown.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, yeah.
Listener/Caller
Everything was closed. We all worked from home. No laying in bed, doing what we wanted to do.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah.
Listener/Caller
Some came on the scene and said, everybody got to go back to work.
Co-host/Guest
Everybody's got to go back to work.
Listener/Caller
They have to stimulate the economy. Everybody has to go back to work.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, that's amazing. And it is amazing. And all it took was somebody doing something. That's it. That's it. That's why I say, you know, we gotta overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism and faith no matter what they throw at us. And you, we've, we're, we're, we're battled hardened warriors. And look what's happening.
Rob Carson
Look what happens if you just do something.
Co-host/Guest
Look how beautiful things can be if you just say no to the forces who wanna bring us down.
Rob Carson
It's really nice.
Co-host/Guest
It's really, really nice.
Rob Carson
Martina McBride is dropping out of the Freedom 250 concert in DC. She said it turned out to be misleading. Does she know this is an honor?
Co-host/Guest
I don't think she knows. This is an honor to be invited
Rob Carson
to Washington D.C. for the 250th birthday of our country. And it isn't partisan, it isn't. Everybody is invited. It's not a Donald Trump thing.
Co-host/Guest
It is a United States of America.
Rob Carson
I was presented with the opportunity to perform at a non partisan event that turned out to be misleading.
Co-host/Guest
I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that
Rob Carson
was meant to celebrate all 50 states.
Co-host/Guest
In my mind, I thought it was
Rob Carson
a great way to celebrate states and also bring people together, blah, blah, blah. Yesterday, things started changing and what we were told is, in fact what is, is not what is happening. Okay, sure, I doubt that very seriously. I think that you don't like Donald Trump. By the way, a couple of other, I mean, really washed up performers who
Co-host/Guest
are, have decided they're not gonna perform.
Rob Carson
Bret Michaels. By the way, Poison always sucked. Poison was always a terrible hair band. A bunch of posers who wore women's makeup. You know, you want a real band, go with Ronnie James Dio. You know, go with Rainbow, Go with Iron Maiden. Okay, Those are real metal. Poison was awful. Every rose has its thorn. Dear God. Young MC. He did bust a move 36 years ago and works at a car wash now. Morris Day of the Time. Haven't done anything since Prince, purple rain in 1984 and the Commodores without Lionel Richie. Oh, my God. Oh, I just can't imagine missing that show with Brett Michaels, Young mc, Morris Day and the Time and the Commodores without Lionel Richie. Oh, no, we can't celebrate America 250 without those guys. Here's the deal. Bring Kid Rock.
Co-host/Guest
There you go.
Rob Carson
Just make it a kid rock show. Get some real, like, I don't know, country music singers who don't eat vegan. I imagine Martina McBride is probably a vegan. But you know what, honestly, we'll just have the party without you. We really will.
Co-host/Guest
And again, I'll tell you, if you get the opportunity to come this year, you're really going to be blown away. You're gonna be a blown away. And, and again, you know, shoot me
Rob Carson
an email on social. Maybe I'll run a new downtown.
Co-host/Guest
But I'm looking forward to it. And, and I am, I am just
Rob Carson
filled with joy that, that we're, we're
Co-host/Guest
gonna win this, we're gonna overcome this and all of that.
Rob Carson
We got a lot of stuff on the show today, including Jill Biden.
Co-host/Guest
She's got a new book nobody is gonna buy. And nobody is buying her, her, you
Rob Carson
know, saying that Joe, she thought he had a stroke. Nobody is buying it. They're all just laughing at her. You've got Rico in Texas, a huge win for Trump with regard to voter security in the upcoming midterms. Your phone calls. Well, at 800-922-6680, it is a glorious
Co-host/Guest
Friday in America on the Rob Carson Show.
News Anchor/Host
The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for
Rob Carson
it is
Co-host/Guest
the Rob Carson Show. And President Trump is heading out for a speech today, but they're close to
Rob Carson
a deal on Iran.
Co-host/Guest
I guess President Trump just got on
Rob Carson
Air Force One for a quick trip
News Analyst
to Arizona for an event that we'll see later on today. He didn't take any questions, but he just told CBS News he basically explained why it is that he is so confident a deal is about to be closed with the Iranians. He says that they have agreed to let United States, not troops, just somebody from the United States go into to Iran with some Iranian officials to collect leftover uranium, what he calls the nuclear dust, and then bring it back somewhere to the United States. That has been the key to all of this. The president earlier today disputed a report in axios that the US might unfreeze $20 billion in Iranian money in exchange for getting them to fork over all this uranium. He says not a dollar will be exchanged in any way. So we will definitely hear more about this once he gets to Arizona. But there's a lot happening and it
Co-host/Guest
is possible, you know, despite all of the left being against Donald Trump on this and our military and literally cheering for the Iranian regime from day one when Chris Murphy said that it was a disaster, even though the first day we killed the ayatollah and then his gay son became cardboard soon thereafter. But despite it all, the president soldiered on through this. He's given them six weeks of a ceasefire. He has been more than generous by not destroying the country's infrastructure so the people will not suffer. We have never seen that, I mean, not in recent history. From a president that was so deliberate about not hurting civilians, not hurting the infrastructure so people go hungry or sit in darkness. That's pretty amazing. That's pretty amazing.
Rob Carson
But what about Cuba?
Co-host/Guest
Cuba is already doing that to their people, and hopefully Cuba's gonna fall too.
Rob Carson
So there you go.
Co-host/Guest
But apparently the President has another thing up his sleeve that could be devastating to the people of Iran as a last minute, or I should say last, last chance measure in case they don't agree.
Satirical Commentator
As tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, President Trump has issued a dire warning to the Iranian leaders that if they do not agree to his demands, he will send Bruce Springsteen to perform in their country. Trump told the IRGC in no uncertain
Rob Carson
terms, that is inhumane terms, that if
Satirical Commentator
the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened, US Military forces will load Springsteen onto a helicop, fly him over to Iran, and deploy him to play a massive show in the chemical warfare streets of Tehran.
Rob Carson
Oh, that's just bad.
News Anchor/Host
Frankly, I don't want to send Bruce over there. I love the Iranian people. No one should be hurt like that.
Co-host/Guest
I know, I know.
News Anchor/Host
But this is war. War is ugly. Like Rosie o'.
Co-host/Guest
Donnell.
News Anchor/Host
Very ugly.
Co-host/Guest
Wow. That is.
News Anchor/Host
This is your final warning.
Satirical Commentator
Human rights attorneys denounced the move, saying that forcing anyone to listen to Bruce Springsteen's music amounts to a war crime.
Comedian/Commentator
Sending the boss to perform for an innocent civ population is a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. Has risen.
Co-host/Guest
Obviously.
Comedian/Commentator
Just put yourself in the shoes of an Iranian that's going about his day in Tehran and all of a sudden a man with a guitar shows up
Rob Carson
and he's just playing.
Comedian/Commentator
Dancing in the dark. That would scare anybody.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. Nobody needs to hear a song that has been beaten to death like that song. And then as a last ditch measure, they may make the population listen to the Nebraska album, which, if you've ever heard the Nebraska album, it's an acquired taste to say the least. That's from the Babylon Bee covering the story today.
Rob Carson
Jill Biden is still trying to convince
Co-host/Guest
us that Joe Biden had a stroke during the debate. He was fine before and fine after. It is an insult to all of us. Everybody knows it is an insult to every single one of us.
Rob Carson
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who looks like a Labradoodle, who has not had her hair
Co-host/Guest
blown out after a bath at the groomer.
Rob Carson
She does.
Co-host/Guest
She looks like a labradoodle, still wet from the groomer.
Rob Carson
And here she is talking about Jill Biden suddenly trying to push a book
Co-host/Guest
that nobody's going to read and spewing lines that nobody believes.
Interviewer
I want to stay on this topic. And these new revelations by the former first lady. She said she was so concerned about her husband's performance during that debate that she worried he was actually having a stroke. She then went out and publicly said to people that he had done a great job and continued to defend him in the weeks following that. Just to that core message, what do you say to voters who see that disconne and feel like they weren't being given the full story by the First Family and other Democrats?
Rob Carson
Go labradoodle.
Political Supporter
Well, I'll say to you, like I say to my voters, that we're focused
Co-host/Guest
on, I feel sorry for the man who has to sleep with her. I mean, my God, every morning you
Rob Carson
hear that voice, you're like, are you a smoker? What the what?
Political Supporter
Moving forward. I think hundreds of millions of Americans appreciate and thank Joe Biden.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, we're going to move forward. Just move forward.
Rob Carson
Listen to completely avoided. Thank Joe Biden for his awful, awful service.
Co-host/Guest
Unbelievable.
Political Supporter
For his lifetime of service to this country.
Co-host/Guest
For the fact that for the tens of millions of dollars he took from
Rob Carson
the Communist Chinese party for wrecking the
Co-host/Guest
economy and opening the southern border and allowing terrorists and, you know, military age
Rob Carson
Chinese, 40,000 of them to come across
Co-host/Guest
the southern board, the hundreds of thousands of people who died from fentanyl and the hundreds of thousands of women and
Rob Carson
children who were trafficked for labor and sex.
Political Supporter
When he was president, we made sure that we actually passed legislation to make their lives more afford.
Rob Carson
No, actually you, you blew up the
Co-host/Guest
size of the federal government and then
Rob Carson
looted the treasury by the tune of trillions of dollars. Prescription drugs made nothing better.
Political Supporter
That he ensured that we passed the inflation Reduction Act.
Co-host/Guest
And again, it was, it was absolute blather. It didn't do a damn thing. It just caused inflation to go through the ceiling.
Political Supporter
We did so much in terms of investing in infrastructure and boosting our economy. And their, their feelings for, their feelings towards him are warm.
Co-host/Guest
No, no, they're not. We actually look at him as a punchline because terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible president.
Rob Carson
And if you don't believe me, here's
Co-host/Guest
a news report from Joe Biden's second year in office.
News Reporter
US inflation rate hits a four decade high, climbing to 9.1%. Gas, food, housing costs, all of them make up the bulk of that increase. However, the impacts go a lot further than you may think Governor Roy Cooper was in Washington, D.C. today talking about inflation, talking about the state's workforce and other challenges in North Carolina.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, it was terrible. Remember that? I remember that because I was, I was kind of think I was kind of selling cars at the time. No, no. I had finished selling cars, but we were still digging out of a hole of the economy and everything cost a whole hell of a lot more and Americans were suffering and no media were ever couching things like, are you sure you want to spend millions of dollars
Rob Carson
on that reflecting pool while gas prices
Co-host/Guest
are so high and inflation is high? Or are you with Scott Bessen yesterday? I'll share the audio.
Rob Carson
Are you sure that Donald Trump wants
Co-host/Guest
to do a $250bill and spend the money to create a $250bill when people are suffering under inflation and they didn't give a rat's behind when Joe Biden was the president? I mean, honestly. Wow. And they want us to believe, or at least Joe Biden wants us to believe, he had a mini stroke during the debate and then he was fine afterwards. Wow. Wow, wow.
Rob Carson
Let's take a break and come back.
Co-host/Guest
We've got much more. This is a Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. 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 ghost bed. 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.
Rob Carson
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.
Co-host/Guest
If you're waking up stiff, tossing and
Rob Carson
turning, sleeping hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging.
Co-host/Guest
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. Go to ghostbed.comcarson and use promo code carson ghostbed.comcarson promo code carson. For the sleep of a lifetime.
Reporter/Commentator
The president was still tired 12 days after returning from Europe, had a cold, but then went to the Waffle House and then the following day staged such a huge comeback that he gave those North Carolina remarks like, help us understand. Have you had a cold before?
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, Cold.
Reporter/Commentator
Okay, so you probably. Come on, come on, Jackie. Let's honest be very returned though jet lag yesterday. Hold on a second. There's a cold, there's a jet lag. You combine that he continues to work on the with for the American people.
Co-host/Guest
Now, he was on vacation 40% of the time. Everybody knows that. Everybody knows that. But the media, they told us that Joe Biden's brain was fine.
Rob Carson
What are you talking about?
Political Supporter
If you're concerned about Joe Biden's age, you probably don't know Joe Biden.
Co-host/Guest
It's not just making an issue of Biden's age. It's lying. It's saying he's senile, saying he's demented, saying he's out of it.
Political Supporter
Biden is actually in good shape.
Progressive Commentator
Mentally, he's quite acute.
Rob Carson
Any aide who engages with him or reporters, we can see this. The gears of his mind are working the right way. Media has so fixated on Biden and
Co-host/Guest
Biden purported, you know, that that's the thing. One of the things that really bugs me the most is when people tell you something that you know is. Is wrong and expect you to believe it. And I really just have no more time for it. Whether it be this, whether it be Donald Trump as a Nazi. Donald Trump is Hitler and all that. I'm just, I'm really quite finished. I have zero patience for it anymore. I'm not going to engage people anymore with Donald Trump. Said on Truth Social, Jill Biden is now there finally admitting that she did not know what went wrong with sleepy Joe during our spectacular and highly rated 2024 presidential debate where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards because he, you know, had dementia.
Rob Carson
She said that he, she thought he
Co-host/Guest
was having a stroke and various other really bad things and yet never rushed on the stage to help her troubled husband. I know, as any good wife would do. He says the only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near condolences. Total collapse.
Rob Carson
This is so Trump.
Co-host/Guest
I love this.
Rob Carson
In other words, as many have asked,
Co-host/Guest
did my strong performance in the debate cause him to plain and simple, choke, leading to his ignominious defeat, or were there other reasons? Nobody else knows the answer, but I do. That's Donald Trump talking about. It's so funny.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God, it's just so funny.
Co-host/Guest
And then of course, they put Kamala Harris in there.
Rob Carson
And here's her message.
Co-host/Guest
I'll just remind you what an awful candidate this is. Her message after she lost the, the
Political Figure
Election didn't turn out like we wanted it to. Certainly not as we planned for it to. The work must continues. Don't you ever let anybody.
Rob Carson
I knew you were going to get defeated. I knew you were going to get crushed.
Political Figure
Take your power from you.
News Anchor/Host
I laugh.
Political Figure
I wish every.
Rob Carson
I laughed when they announced she was the candidate.
Political Figure
A happy Thanksgiving. With the ability and to find the ability at this moment to take a moment.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Political Figure
And just reflect on all.
Co-host/Guest
She thinks she's going to run in 2028.
Rob Carson
Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord.
Co-host/Guest
I'm. Oh, Lord.
Rob Carson
We need to play a classic from
Co-host/Guest
Jim Gossett about Joe's defective all the way.
Jim Gossett (Comedian)
You gotta win the super bowl again. We gotta get him back. Loop man, he has a marshmallow brain. That's Joe Biden. Yeah, with a head empty as it
Co-host/Guest
can be we're not stupid.
Jim Gossett (Comedian)
At the Eagles game Didn't know his name Jo C. Is clear to see.
Rob Carson
Yeah, we all know he was senile.
Jim Gossett (Comedian)
He's a dumb dummy Joe and we're not stupid. Keeping him president was insane.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, I know.
Jim Gossett (Comedian)
His voice is weak. Helpy ought to seek. Joe Biden has a marshmallow brain.
Rob Carson
Everybody knew it.
Jim Gossett (Comedian)
The folks at the White House protected Joe. They had to know a long time ago that Joe Biden wasn't all there. They were fully aware. Can't believe he still shows up in public. He is someone they need to restrain.
Rob Carson
It's Friday.
Jim Gossett (Comedian)
He might slip and fall. Gets lost at the mall. Joe Biden has a marshmallow.
Co-host/Guest
Jim Gassett. Go to patreon.com, jim Gusset comedy if you want to help him out. He's a conservative content producer, a brilliant, brilliant man. And if you could sign, he'll send you two different parodies every darn day. He's got a new one about James Tallarico. We're gonna play shortly. Swatting incident recorded, or I should say thwarted, as police respond to reports of gunshots fired near the home of Amy Coney Barrett. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amy Coney Barrett. Not exactly the most conservative jurist on the Supreme Court, but somebody wanted to have her murdered. Law enforcement realized it was a swatting call after meeting with Amy Coney Barrett's security detail.
Rob Carson
And I don't understand why this is happening.
Co-host/Guest
I mean, really, honestly, why would something like this happen? Why would threats and violence against Donald Trump and the Supreme Court be happening?
Rob Carson
Kristen, first, we need to talk more about the Supreme Court decision. This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of black political Rights since Rutherford Hayes ended reconstruction in 1877. One third. One third.
Co-host/Guest
I can't even figure out why, you know, insane people would become unhinged and try to kill, you know, people like
Progressive Activist
Supreme Court system is rigged against everyday Americans to benefit, you know, the elites. And that's going to require massive campaign finance reform, massive electoral reform, and yes, massive Supreme Court reform as well. Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country, or we're going to break them.
Co-host/Guest
Sure.
Progressive Activist
And our goal is to break them. We have to beat them electorally, and then we have to break their spirit.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, they're going to break our spirits and crush our souls is what he said. Yeah, it's the Democrat Party doing that. It is a de facto civil war. The Democrat Party is a confederate party right now, and we need to just push him into the precipice of hell and let him disappear.
Rob Carson
There you go.
Co-host/Guest
James Talarico is a freako. They're selling these T shirts. He's decided to embrace the Talafrico, so
Rob Carson
they're selling Talafrico shirts.
Co-host/Guest
And the thing is, everybody knows he's
Rob Carson
a freak, so it's really not funny.
Co-host/Guest
It's not like everybody knows he's out of his head.
Progressive Commentator
God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non binary. Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care, too. Did they teach you in Sunday school that Jesus Christ himself was a radical feminist? I want us all to be aware of is that that modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six, which, honestly, Representative Hefner surprised me.
Co-host/Guest
So according to Talarico, God is non binary. Jesus is a feminist, There are six genders, and transgender people need to be getting abortions. Yeah. That is James Talarico. He thinks he's going to win in the state of Texas. Now, They've got about $40 million on hand right now. Ken Paxton only has about $4 million on hand. We're going to take care of that. Oh, by the way, Ben Paxton won against John Cornyn. They outspent him nine to one. James Alarigo is going to get his rear end handed to him. Here is his latest.
Rob Carson
Are you ready for this?
Co-host/Guest
Women are not women, according to him. Okay, I want every woman in the audience to stop here real quick.
Rob Carson
Do you like to be called a woman, or does your little girl like
Co-host/Guest
to be called a little girl?
Rob Carson
Or do you prefer this?
Interviewer
Every one of our neighbors with a
Progressive Commentator
uterus became the Property of the state. One of our neighbors with the uterus to be able to control their own body. Our neighbors with a uterus. One of our neighbors with the uterus.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. So you, would you like it if somebody called you a person with a uterus? Would you, would you like that instead of a woman? Oh, my God. They think he's going to win. Dear God. Democrat weirdo James Talarigo claims Republicans are secretly supporting him. Yeah, sure, sure, junior. You, you know, just pat him on his head and send him on his way. He says that his campaign is attracting some support from previous Trump voters who are becoming more disillusioned with the president's policies.
Rob Carson
Now he's got like 98% approval from
Co-host/Guest
Maga because he's doing a great job. And we know he is. No matter how much you try to
Rob Carson
tell us that he's doing a bad
Co-host/Guest
job and Joe Biden's brain is fine. We are going now. We know he's doing a great job. So how about Shut up.
Rob Carson
He says that Donald Trump is doing
Co-host/Guest
exactly of what he promised to do in 2024.
Rob Carson
No, no. He's doing exactly what we asked him to do. By the way, a lot of president
Co-host/Guest
supporters in Texas are feeling disillusioned. They're feeling disillusioned with his extremism and his corruption.
Rob Carson
He's not corrupt. He's not corrupt. The Democrat Party is corrupt, son.
Co-host/Guest
That is embodied by politicians like Ken Paxton. And so we have a real opportunity to build a big coalition of Democrats. Honestly, it would be laughable if it weren't so serious.
Rob Carson
Let's take a break and come back.
Co-host/Guest
This is the Rob Carson Show. I never mean to step on anyone's toes, period.
Reporter/Commentator
Foreign
Co-host/Guest
Carson show on Friday. This is a band called Gun. And this is a read redo of the song Everyone's a Winner. I think it actually kicks butt. Turn it up, Brian. It's kind of cool. It's kind of cool.
Rob Carson
All right, there you go.
Co-host/Guest
So a lot of stuff happening in the, in the news today. It's Friday. Tony Kenna was not on today. He had a last minute thing that he had, so it had to cancel.
Rob Carson
Unfortunately, Mary Walter is still on next
Co-host/Guest
hour and of course, Christian Toto from Hollywood. And Toto as well.
Rob Carson
Scott Besant took over the press conference
Co-host/Guest
yesterday in the press pool by the White House. By the way, did you know why it's called the pool? Because it's this little room that used to be an indoor swimming pool and they filled it with concrete and that's where the press sits and it is a small and uncomfortable space with a little tiny kitchen in the back. And it gets very warm and very smelly, I'll just tell you that. But anyway, here is Scott Bessett talking about Gavin Newsom. By the way, a federal judge has halted the work on Trump's anti weaponization fund. Not a big surprise. Virginia judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from moving ahead with plans to create a $1.8 billion fund for all the people who were targeted by Joe Biden's DOJ and had their lives destroyed. And many of them had to go to jail for four years without a trial and went bankrupt trying to defend themselves. And some of them pled guilty to charges just to avoid going to prison for doing nothing. Of course, the Democrats absolutely hate that. What I would recommend is that people sue and the government cover their legal expenses. So that's what I would do. I would see, we could cover their legal expenses, maybe try find some pro bono attorneys and sue the crap out of the government. Like everybody sue for a billion dollars apiece. How about that? How about we do it that way? But anyway, Scott Bessant was asked about Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom says if anybody in the state of California gets money from this fund, he's gonna tax.
Rob Carson
Tax it.
Co-host/Guest
He's going to tax it. And several governors, New York, I think Hochul has said she's going to tax it. If you get an award for being a victim of the federal government's weaponization of the DOJ against you.
Rob Carson
And here's what Scott Bessen had to say about that.
Co-host/Guest
Hold on one second.
Rob Carson
Let me get it. Hold on.
Co-host/Guest
Of a 100% state tax on Californians who receive money from President Trump's anti weaponization fund. Your response to the governor's call for office. 7.
Rob Carson
There's no cure for stupid haste.
Co-host/Guest
Said he's going to just take the money from them. Just to be a jerk. Just to be a jerk.
Rob Carson
I would focus more on the terrible
Co-host/Guest
job you're doing as the governor because you're not going to be governor very long. And again, a Republican's going to go in there and cover how ungodly corrupt you are. He also was. Was asked a question by Kaitlin Collins. Kaitlyn, She's Caitlyn.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God. Her name is Kaitlyn.
Co-host/Guest
And her name is K A I T L A N. It's not like
Rob Carson
K A Y T E n. There's
Co-host/Guest
like 50 different kinds of the spelling of Kaitlyn. And Megan was the president. I would make sure that there Were only one spelling of both of those names. That would be my first executive order. Only one spelling for Megan, only one spelling for Kaitlan. But here is Kaitlan Collins asking about the new $250bill. And her biggest problem with it is, you know, inflation's high now, you know, aren't. You know, while people are suffering. Why would you want to do anything for.
Reporter
Jim, you said that it's up to Congress. The President's face is on a $250bill. But it is actually the Washington Post that's reporting two political appointees from the Treasury Department who have asked agencies to be read to do that. Do you think politically it's a good idea to put his face on a
Interviewer
$250 bill when people are struggling again, I don't really understand this Washington Post article. Who hears from the Post? Yeah, terribly written, terribly edited because basically what it says is that treasury is following the law and that we've created the bill and that it's up to Congress but that we follow the bill and it's up to. I didn't really understand what the story was.
Reporter
Aren't involved in that. You're a political appointees.
Interviewer
Yeah.
Rob Carson
Of.
Interviewer
But we prepare for everything if it gets passed. Just like we. We were ready six months in advance for the one big beautiful bill for tax guidance that. So we have to prepare in advance. You can't draw something up the day before.
Reporter
Politically. Do you think it's a good idea that when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries.
Rob Carson
Oh my God.
Interviewer
I think it has. I think that it's bifurcated that. Do you think we should have a 250th anniversary via celebration?
Reporter
Well, that's happening anyway.
Progressive Activist
But putting the
Interviewer
happening anyway. It's happening because it's being funded by private citizens, by the federal government.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. Suddenly the media is terribly, terribly, terribly, terribly, terribly concerned about inflation again. They weren't A couple years ago US
News Reporter
inflation rate hits a four decade high climbing to 9.1%. Gas, food, housing costs, all of them make up.
Rob Carson
Why didn't they say why do you
Co-host/Guest
want to spend money on the inflation Reduction Act?
Rob Carson
You know, why do you want to
Co-host/Guest
spend money on the green energy? Green new deal $1.5 trillion because of the inflation. So I see nobody cared then because Trump is the president. So there is that. By the way, the federal government already spends more on debt, interest than on Medicaid, national defense and all non defense discretionary programs. Now with a 30 year treasury yield surging past 5.19 highest level in almost 20 years. Financial doom could be in the offing.
Rob Carson
We don't know.
Co-host/Guest
The dollar's worth a lot less and that means higher prices, higher inflation, higher quality, cost of living, higher payments on the debt. As I mentioned, smart retirement planners prepare for potential setbacks. They can do that by diversifying with time tested gold. Thank you very much.
Rob Carson
Physical gold from my trusted friends at Birch Gold Group.
Co-host/Guest
Text my name, Rob, to the number 989-898. Birchgold will send you a free info kit on converting an IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA.
Rob Carson
And physical gold, you don't pull the
Co-host/Guest
ripcord once you've hit the ground. So text Rob to the number 989-898. Again, text Rob to 989-898.
Rob Carson
Own some gold from Birch Gold.
Co-host/Guest
Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is a Friday on the Rob Carson Show. So the Democrat Party is, like I said, they're a Confederate party. Everything that Donald Trump does is bad. Every positive that happens is bad. They are against the war in Iran. They would rather have the mullahs in charge. They were all about opening the southern border wide open and allowing millions of people to come across the southern border to destroy the country. The Democrat Party facilitated trillions of dollars in fraud to pay off their friends and by votes. They are the movie most corrupt party in the history of the world. The largest crime family in the history of the world. That's just the way it is. I, I played this yesterday, actually.
Rob Carson
I'm going to do this.
Co-host/Guest
This is, this is Morning Joe and
Rob Carson
Newt Gingrich talking about the Democrat Party.
Let's just talk about how bad of a Dean seat Chair Ken Martin is and let's just talk about how crazy the Democratic Party is. They've got to keep 20% approval rating and they're getting completely blown away in fundraising. They are getting crushed by the Republicans.
Political Analyst
I am pretty confident I can tell you about the election. If the president can get gasoline down somewhere in the $3 range and people begin to feel like it's going to continue to come down, the Republicans will win the largest off your election in modern times.
Co-host/Guest
Now we are, you and I have never taken our foot off the accelerator as Republicans always do. They panic.
Rob Carson
They say don't relax, don't relax. You know you can't take it for granted. Oh, yeah, I know.
Co-host/Guest
See, we already know that because we've never taken our foot off the accelerator.
Rob Carson
We've never stopped fighting.
Co-host/Guest
So we're going to turn out in mass. And by the way, if it hasn't shown you this year thus far, 119 races, primary races, Donald Trump that has endorsed and 119 victories. So we are strong and we need to remain positive and we motivated because I know that you aren't, you aren't complacent about this. I know that we're looking at this midterms. As you know, if the Democrats were able to become, you know, lead the House or the Senate, it would blow up the country because they would try to impeach Donald Trump. And you and I aren't going to take that. You. We aren't going to do that again. It will not happen. We will shut down the country. We will come to the Capitol by the millions and we will shut down, shut it down.
Rob Carson
We just know, right, we're not going
Co-host/Guest
to go through what happened with Donald Trump the first four years of administration and the four years hence between. We are not going to let that happen. So we're going to win. We are very, very, very motivated to win. And the Democrat Party is still a bloody mess on the way. The latest from the Democrats is that there is an internment camp in New South Jersey. It is the ICE facility up there.
Rob Carson
It's all a lie.
Co-host/Guest
They're cranking up the. They want another summer of 2020. That's what they want. We're not gonna give it to them. And certainly Mark Wayne Mullen isn't going to give them to him. Details on all of that coming up.
Rob Carson
And Mary Walter as well in our number two of the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere.

The Rob Carson Show — "Trump Brings the Light Back — and the Left Can’t Stand It"
Date: May 29, 2026
Host: Rob Carson (Newsmax Podcasts)
Episode Theme:
This episode highlights Rob Carson’s signature blend of humor, pointed political commentary, and cultural insight. The central theme is the dramatic transformation of American cities and political climate under Donald Trump’s leadership, juxtaposed against what Carson sees as the “darkness” of Democratic rule. Carson uses recent news, personal anecdotes, satire, and listener calls to champion Trump and criticize the left, arguing that joy, patriotism, and action are turning the tide in American society.
Rob Carson begins with observations about the revival of Washington, D.C., attributing the city’s renewed energy and beauty to Donald Trump’s leadership. The show moves fluidly between national and local politics, with recurring critiques of Democratic policies and officials, humorous commentary on recent news, parody songs, discussions of cultural events like the Freedom 250 Concert, and satirical treatments of political opponents. Carson's tone swings from jubilant to biting—celebrating victories he credits to Trump and mocking the left’s narrative or messaging.
On Democratic Cities:
“It was hell. It was a metaphor for the Democrat Party and the rule of the Democrat Party.” —Rob Carson ([02:50])
On Joy and Patriotism:
"We've got to overwhelm the left with joy and patriotism and faith no matter what they throw at us." —Co-host ([09:04])
On Kamala Harris:
“I laughed when they announced she was the candidate.” —Rob Carson ([24:02])
Satirical Threat to Iran:
“If they do not agree to his demands, he will send Bruce Springsteen to perform in their country.” —Satirical Commentator ([15:03])
Summary Song Parody:
“Joe Biden has a marshmallow brain... Keeping him president was insane.” —Jim Gossett (Comedian, parody song) ([24:39])
This episode showcases Rob Carson at his most combative and comedic, celebrating perceived conservative victories and painting the opposition as both failing and fringe. Interspersed with humor and musical parody, the show threads together stories of urban revival, cultural clashes, partisan hypocrisy, and electoral strategy. The tone blends patriotic optimism—“we’re going to overcome this”—with caustic, mocking attacks on Democratic personalities and policies. Listeners walk away with a sense of confident, embattled victory on the right—and a reminder to stay vigilant and energized for the political fights ahead.
