Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s Iran Policy vs. Democratic Opposition

• Carson’s Opening Perspective:
  • Carson contends Trump is "on the right side of history" on Iran and other issues because "the same characters have been wrong about everything are against it."

• Military Actions:
  • The latest phase, dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," involves the "most intense day of strikes inside Iran" ([02:13]).

• Historical Contrast:
  • Carson highlights the lack of clear objectives during previous wars in Afghanistan and under other presidents—arguing Trump has set a four to six-week goal for success ([03:33-05:01]).

    “Donald Trump came in and said, we are going to get this over in four to six weeks.” (Rob Carson, 04:17)

3. Guests’ Analysis: Iran, Terror, and Partisan Politics

  • Quotes:

    “They are attacking neighbors, energy infrastructure, embassies. This is a terrorist government.” (Marco Rubio, 05:26)

• Jim Gossett’s Parody (as the President):
  • Mock song celebrating the strikes on Iran and criticizing previous presidents for their inaction ([10:07-11:12]).
  • Highlights the show’s blend of political content and comedy.

5. Iranian Leadership Crisis & Succession

  • Khosrow Isfani’s Analysis:
    • Critiques new Ayatollah Mujtaba for lack of legitimacy or charisma; says he was “appointed, not voted” and “has the charisma of a boiled potato” ([18:02-18:19]).

6. Protests: Selective Outrage on U.S. Campuses (with Emily Sturge)

• Funding and Foreign Influence:
  • Chuck Devore exposes ties between campus groups and organizations linked to Iran and Hamas, suggesting foreign actors are driving U.S. activism ([30:43-31:38]).
  • Carson:

    "They're all funded by George Soros, Neville Singham and others. ... There’s got to be something done about this.” ([31:38])

7. Media Critique: Mainstream Coverage

• Carson’s Media Satire:
  • Mocks outlets like CNN and The New York Times for romanticizing or downplaying Islamic extremism, while highlighting instances where coverage appears sympathetic to terrorists or inaccurately frames events ([35:55-37:13]).
  • Abby Phillips’ retraction over misreporting a bombing is dissected and used as a proxy for criticizing media bias ([34:32-34:56]).
  • Quotes:

    "This is about the same pathos that causes women to fall in love with death row inmates, in this case the mayor of New York as well." (Rob Carson, 37:13)

8. Listener Engagement and Ongoing Themes

  • As the episode winds down, Carson promises more on political resistance to Trump policies (e.g., SAVE Act), critiques both parties’ resistance to draining the “swamp,” and previews more satirical commentary ([39:55-41:30]).

Hold it.

[Rob Carson]

Now you are about to hear the

[Jim Gossett]

most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey kids, it's already Wednesday. Wednesday the what is it the the 11th of March? Gonna be another Friday the 13th on Friday and we have a couple in a row here. What's the deal with all the Friday the 13th? Is something going on? Something going on with the planets and whatnot? Anyway, welcome to the show. You know, you know why I know that Donald Trump is on the right side of history on Iran, the Save America act, the southern border and all of his policies? Because the same characters have been wrong about everything are against it. The same leftist media that has been wrong about everything is against it. The same usual suspects like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are against it. And they've been wrong about everything. And they've been on the wrong side of history for, well, with CNN and the mainstream media for, for decades, let alone the last 10 years of Donald Trump. So this is why I am quite comfortable in my, in my support of what we're doing in Iran. Support of Donald Trump's economic policies, support of the closed southern border, support of the SAVE act again, because all of the people who've been so terribly wrong and I might add also have driven the country into the pits of hell are lining up against him. So there you go. Tada, tada. Here is our, our Secretary of War. War. What good is it for? Well, it's for kicking the Ayatollah's butt. But here is the Secretary of War talking about the latest phase in the operation Epic Fury.

Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran. The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes. Intelligence more refined and better than ever. So that's on one hand. On the other hand, the last 24 hours have seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles. Yeah, they've been capable of firing.

Yeah. Yet because we blew all their missiles up.

Just the bifurcation, just the trend lines that we talked about.

Bifurcation has nothing to do with your sexuality. Democrats just want you to know briefing

you see, this is not 2003.

There are no non binary missiles in this conflict.

This is not endless nation building really under those.

That's not what the View cast says. Like anybody gives a damn what they have to say about war.

Types of quagmires.

We saw. Oh my God. No, let's get, let's get the View cast their opinion on the, the epic fury. Yeah, we want to hear for that. Like right before they have a celebrity on and talk about summer salad recipes.

Bush or Obama. It's not even close.

Oh my God. Our generation today showcases to do it

next soldier will not let that happen again. And nor this president who very clearly ran against those kinds of never ending, nebulously scoped missions.

Yeah, because he's different than the other presidents who have just basically really jacked around our troops. And, and I know a lot of these troops, they literally, since, since Iran, you know, bombed the barracks, our Marine Barracks in 1980 on my birthday, since the Iranian takeover, they've been beastlapping the rest of the world. And we have had presidents including Reynolds, Maxim Maximus, who Rush used to say about Ronald Reagan didn't do a damn thing about Iran after they blew up the barracks. And then we've had feckless, awful leadership everywhere since you had George W. Bush got us into a 20 year war. We've got Barack Obama and Joe Biden who, I mean performed acts of, I'll just say financial gratification on their knees before the Ayatollah. All of those things have resulted in failure and, and death. And Donald Trump is the only president who ever has taken it this way and is doing something that is successful with, by the way, a plan. Okay, While we were in Afghanistan, was there ever. Here is the goal line, here's where we're going to be. Or was it another year we're here another year, we're going to keep things going. Was there ever an exit strategy? Was there ever a. This is why we're here. No, not one little bit. Donald Trump came in and said, we are going to get this over in four to six weeks. And here is what Marco Rubio says we want to accomplish.

[Marco Rubio]

It's important to continue to remind the American people of why it is that the greatest military in the history of the world is engaged in this operation.

[Rob Carson]

Please tell, by the way, Chuck Schumer, Liz Warren, because yesterday they said they didn't have any idea it is to

[Marco Rubio]

destroy the ability of this regime to launch missiles, both by destroying their missiles and their launchers. Destroy the factories that make these missiles.

[Rob Carson]

Gotcha.

[Marco Rubio]

And destroy their navy. I think we are all seeing right now, the threat this clerical regime poses to the region and to the world. They are trying to hold the world hostage. They are attacking their neighbors, they are attacking neighboring countries, their energy infrastructure, their civilian population. They're attacking embassies. This is a terrorist government. This is a terroristic regime.

[Rob Carson]

They have been for 47 years.

[Marco Rubio]

And we are seeing them conduct terrorism using nation state elements, using weapons like missiles and one way attack drones. And the objective of this mission is to destroy their ability to continue to do that.

[Rob Carson]

That's pretty easy, that's pretty self explanatory. But Liz Warren, how high are you Ho. Hi he ho. Yesterday she didn't hear any of that in a two hour briefing. Here we are well into the second week and it is still the case that the Trump administration cannot explain the reasons that we, we just did there. Right there. This war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. Yeah. Methods for doing it. The methods we're kind of showing now. You just turn on the news, you can see them. The one part that seems clear is that while there is no money for

[Emily Sturge]

15 million Americans who lost their health care.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I thought you fixed health care with Obamacare, woman. What the hell? It was like 15, 16 years ago. You fixed it with Obamacare. There's a billion dollars a day to spend on bombing Iraq. Oh my God. God, her act just gets so old after a while. To be her husband is like Groundhog Day every day. My God. Here is Caroline Levitt on why Democrats can't get behind our troops, can't honor our troops, can't admire our troops, can't go, wow, they're doing a great job risking their lives for a whole lot less than that woman gets paid to do nothing.

[Marco Rubio]

Have people forgotten just how imminent that threat was? If they keep saying death to America

[Chris Murphy]

and death to Israel, they mean it.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

Look, I don't think the American people have forgotten, but I think Democrats on Capitol Hill, they have not forgotten, but they are just so plagued with this resistance to President Trump on everything that they do.

[Rob Carson]

That's true.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

Again, they can't even rally behind the common sense, bipartisan, long standing principle of the United States of America.

[Rob Carson]

Because if we went over there, then Donald Trump is on his watch and they can't stand that. So they'd rather have people live in bondage. They have another, another generation of women in Iran, you know, living in slavery.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

That Iran absolutely poses a threat to the United States, that Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. And I think that's reflected again all

[Rob Carson]

of Those things are true in their

[Unknown Political Analyst]

voting pattern in 2023, every single member of the House of Representatives, with the exception of one, I believe the final vote was 412 to 1 in 2023 for a resolution condemning Iran as the world's state leading sponsor of terror.

[Rob Carson]

That would mean a whole lot of Democrats believe that.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

And now in 20, in this year under this president, in 2026, 53 Democrats voted against that exact same resolution because Trump, but the exact same language. I don't think that's a change in the threat that Iran has posed to the United States. I think it's a change in the Democrat party's thinking and their vicious hatred for President Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Big mistake by the Iranian regime to start targeting its neighbors right away, exposing who they are and what they're all about. Indiscriminate targeting, flailing recklessly at the beginning. I can't say that we anticipated necessarily that's exactly how they would would react. But we knew it was a possibility. And I think it was a demonstration of the desperation of that regime then and that regime now that they still think their pathway out is to try to alienate their Arab partners even more, who've instead decided to come to us.

Those jets are fully loaded with missiles and bombs and they are a world class team combined with the naval aviation. Well, that's not what the Democrats say about our military and the aviators in those jets. This beautiful symphony of American spirit is, I know, it's kind of awesome. The definition of perfectly organized chaos. These are dedicated young people who take the road less traveled to serve their great nation.

[Jim Gossett]

The regime's intention was to use this exponentially growing ballistic missile threat to make it virtually impossible to prevent them from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The situation was very quickly approaching the point of no return. And the United States found it intolerable.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, see, it's that simple. Right there. You didn't even need a briefing yesterday. Could you just watch the news, Heard some press conferences or listen to this show? This is Jim Gossett as the President.

[Jim Gossett]

Little Diddy about bombing Iran. Preemptive strikes was part of their plan. The Ayatollah is history. We'll get them all. Just you wait and see. Our military got orders from me and we got help from our friend BB Unlike Biden, I did not appease and let the Iranians do as they please. Hey Iran, you gonna regret it.

[Rob Carson]

I think they aren't.

[Jim Gossett]

Kill your own people and we won't forget it.

[Rob Carson]

Dims don't realize that.

[Jim Gossett]

Oh yeah, life goes on.

[Rob Carson]

Except for the Ayatollah, long after the

[Jim Gossett]

mullahs and Iran are gone, deserve just what they got. Let's into a parking lot.

[Rob Carson]

I think that sounds awesome.

[Jim Gossett]

Little Diddy about bombing Iran and putting their leaders in a trash can.

[Rob Carson]

That is Jim Gossett. So we got a lot of stuff coming up. The Ayatollah, the new leader is, is a. Has the. All of the what the, the charisma of a boiled potato is what one Iranian is saying. Uh, and also he is not doing appearances in public. Uh, a friend of mine who is, uh, just happens to be an Iranian says he's in a coma. He's in a coma. We've got that. We've got CNN doing a total butt kiss of terrorists, attempted terrorists in New York City. We got great guests on the show today. All we need is you. Oh, I guess you're already there. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Chris Murphy]

Regime.

[Rob Carson]

Regime change didn't happen.

[Chris Murphy]

The son of the Ayatollah might be worse than the dad. The president said last summer we obliterated the nuclear weap that they had in

[Rob Carson]

the U.S. mark Kelly anymore. That wasn't the case because now they're

[Chris Murphy]

talking about ground operations to remove what's left.

[Rob Carson]

So I don't see from a strategic

[Chris Murphy]

perspective what was accomplished.

[Rob Carson]

It took us 10 years to get bin Laden. True.

[Chuck Devore]

Six years to get Hitler, two years to get Milosevic, nine months for Saddam,

[Rob Carson]

eight months for Gaddafi.

[Chuck Devore]

And we blew the ayatollah away in 50 seconds.

[Rob Carson]

There is that. Yes. But you know, people like Chris Murphy. Chris Murphy is such a jackass. I can go ahead and say it. I'm just gonna say the word. I'm not gonna say Jack A. I'm not gonna say whatever he is. That and literally on the first day of the Iranian offensive, the first day of epic fury, he said it was a disaster. And this is what he said yesterday after a briefing.

[Chris Murphy]

I just came from a two hour closed door classified on the war. Just confirmed to me. It's totally incoherent. We are not going to be able to achieve any of our stated objectives.

[Rob Carson]

But I mention it because. Are you kidding me? We already have, you idiot.

[Chuck Devore]

It's another closed door briefing. We have still not yet heard a full explanation.

[Rob Carson]

Honestly, you're just so full of crap that there is corn and of course peanuts floating in your eyes. Honestly. Wow, wow, wow. Here is Senator Josh Hawley talking about. Let me find it here real quick. Josh Hawley. Here is it. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Josh Hawley. I've got it. One second here. He says that we're actually kicking butt. Let me find it. I will get to that in one moment. I'm looking over here and saw for some. There it is. Here's, here's Josh Hawley. He's a senator and apparently he got a little bit different briefing than Chris Murphy, who called the epic ferry a disaster on day one.

[Chris Murphy]

Well, because the liberal media is always cheering for who's against America. I mean, the truth is this has been an overwhelming show of force. And our military.

[Rob Carson]

That is weird because that's not what Liz Warren said in the Dumbo Moron that I just played there. Chris Murphy.

[Chris Murphy]

Heroes need to be celebrated. We need to salute them and their families, of course, beginning with the families of the fallen, thanking them for their service to this country. And I think what the president said last night, that we have achieved our objectives just about any way you cut it. Whether it's nukes, whether it's the ballistic missiles, whether it's the Iranian navy, I mean, all of it gone, all of it devastated, this has been a success. This military has done it in incredible job. We need to celebrate them and say job well done. I mean, if this isn't success, I don't know what would be.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, you know, it's. The reason why the Democrats say it is not successful is because Donald Trump is doing it and he's doing it in an overwhelming fashion like we've never seen before. So we can avoid putting boots on the ground and spending 20 years in another desert hell hole.

[Chris Murphy]

How can you look at what's happened in the last year? I mean, you had Trump taking out the nukes back in June. Now you've had the last 10 days. Does anybody really think that these people are ever going to try to make a nuke again? What would they make it with, like charcoal? I mean, this is an overriding success. Our military is astounding the world. And I agree with what the President said last night. You look at all the success that we've had in the last 10 days. I mean, this thing is a victory. I think we should be hailing our military as the heroes they are. We ought to be thanking them for their service and we ought to be saying we've achieved our objectives here.

[Rob Carson]

You would think, actually. But the Democrat Party is so anti Trump, no matter what he does. They're just going to take the opposite tactics. Regardless, regardless, regardless. That's just the way it is. That's just the way it is, the narco drug boats bringing in fentanyl and other drugs that kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. Those are innocent fishermen. Those are innocent fishermen. The southern border, closing it up. No credit for Donald Trump. No credit for the fact that the murder rate is down to the lowest rate in 126 years. You can go into Washington D.C. even into Anacostia. You can push around a baby stroller, not get shot, for God's sake. The economy is turning around. Inflation has flatlined. $18 trillion of new investment coming into the country. For goodness sake. What? Really? No. That true Democrat party and this is the lowest of the low. This is the lowest of the low. When they will demean our troops in harm's way and act like they're not kicking ass and taking names, because they are. And right now, Iran, they scrambled. They got a new supreme leader, the Mochaba Khomeini, a no show at his succession rally. They had a cardboard cut out of the guy. You know why? Because a friend of mine who actually is my doctor and an expat from Iran says that the old Ayatollah is in a comotola. Yeah, he's in a hospital in a comotola. Here is Chuck Devore talking about the new Ayatollah.

[Chuck Devore]

Well, certainly he's trying to move from place to place. He probably doesn't sleep in the same place more than once because of the exceptional intelligence that our Israeli allies have. And to your point, he is a double betrayal of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He was not even trained well enough to be an Ayatollah. He's only a mid range cleric, number one. And number two, as you pointed out, dynastic succession.

[Rob Carson]

He is a nepo baby with the accent on die in the dynastic.

[Chuck Devore]

So that's a double betrayal of the whole concept of the 1979 revolution. All you have now, Jesse, is the equivalent of a mafia family, very corrupt, with a little bit of a patina of religion over.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. This is a guy named Khosrow Isfani and he is a secretary of the Supreme National Security. No, that's not it. That's not him. He is the research director for the National Union for Democracy in Iran. Here's what he has to say about the new ayatollah who's in a comotola.

[Khosrow Isfani]

So on Mujtabal, you rightfully mentioned, we are dealing with an impotent cleric who has the charisma of a boiled potato who had no political life whatsoever until he was Named more like a French

[Rob Carson]

fried potato cream leader.

[Khosrow Isfani]

There is a single video of him speaking in which he stutters and cannot even deliver a clear message. He was appointed and named not voted as the new supreme Leader. He was not even able to show up for his party. He was hiding in a bunker.

[Rob Carson]

What they had or he's in a comotola. Here is what has to happen in Iran now.

[Khosrow Isfani]

There are three key elements. One continues striking the regime's leadership. Just taking Khamenei out is not enough right now. There are multiple names including Ali Larijani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and the parliament speaker Ali Baft. These two men have been trying to stabilize the regime. They did the same thing during the 12 Day War. Two is striking the regime's arms of oppression, striking a couple military targets. It's not enough. We need to go after the regime's arms of oppression and treat highs in with the first to enable the Iranian people to take back their homeland. They have been fighting this regime since its inception. My family has been on the front lines of this fight. I have been continuing that inside the country until 2021 when I left. Millions of Iranians have been on the

[Rob Carson]

front line and they depend on us and we are witnessing history in the Democrat party literally would be willing to rebuild the Berlin Wall and would mourn Hitler's suicide. That's your Democrat Party. If Donald Trump were the president in World War II or in 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell. Let's take a break and come back. Coming up, Emily Sturge to talk about anti American protests on US camp. Hey guys, it's Carson. I just got a ghost bed. Yeah, pay attention here because I've been sleeping on a foam mattress since I moved to the Washington D.C. area which is like sleeping on the the sponge in your sink. Ghost bed 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, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep, not fighting for comfort. I have been sleeping past seven in the morning on my ghostbed. It's unbelievable. If you wake up stiff, you toss and turn. If you sleep hot, even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different. That's not aging, it's your mattress talking. Another great thing I love about Ghostbed, you get 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't like the difference, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra 10% off. Go to Ghostbed.com Carson use promo code Carson. That's Ghostbed.com Carson promo code Carson. You are gonna love your new ghostbed.

[Unknown Interviewer]

So why do you think people were so loud on Palestine or so silent on Iran?

[Rob Carson]

Oh, a lot.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

A lot of factors.

[Rob Carson]

Can I think for a second before I load my response?

[Unknown Interviewer]

Sure, but let me just give you some stats. More people died in Iran because of the Islamic republic that kills and oppresses his own people. So this basically ticks all the left wing narrative boxes. You have a group of oppressed people that are rising up against the tyrant, getting killed by that tyrant shot in the head for protesting which is their democratic right. You don't have a single campus shutdown. You don't have a single protest. Protest. You have protests by Iranians but not by foreigners. Yet you had protests non stop for the last two years about Palestine, which I think they started the war by attacking Israel on 7th of October. Yeah, Israel responded and they basically won the war. But then you had protests for two years condemning Israel, call him a genocidal state, even though Israel could have committed genocide in one hour if they wanted to. The reason why war took two years is because they didn't want to commit a genocide. But then you have the Islamic Republic that is actually causing a genocide, killing their own people. People not saying anything. Why do you think that is?

[Rob Carson]

Many reasons.

[Unknown Political Analyst]

However, I do disagree fundamentally about.

[Rob Carson]

They're not being. Sorry, could you just repeat what you were. Okay. That is a. An actual Iranian journalist interviewing Gen Z. Karen about the, the contradiction between, you know, protesting for Hamas and not actually protesting in favor of, I don't know, the freedom of the Iranian people and the people of Persia. This is happening all over the country. A lot of, a lot of Karens, whether they be middle aged white Karens or college age Karens, have this, this love affair, I guess, with radical Islam. But they are willing to step forward when people are freed because they're on the wrong side of the political equation. Joining us to talk about this, Emily Sturge, Campus Reform, who has written this terrific piece called Death to Chants echo across campuses due to Iranian influence and radical protesters. Hello Emily, how are you today?

[Emily Sturge]

It is great to be with you. I'm happy to be here.

[Rob Carson]

I gotta tell you. I saw the headline on this and I and I had to talk about this contradiction. It is remarkable that there have been nothing but crickets and tumbleweeds on the campuses of America with regard to, say for instance, the freedom the possible freedom of the Persian people, the possibility of women actually being able to, after 47 years, I guess this would be the third generation of women who've lived under the suppression, being able to live free as women, maybe vote, do things like that. How in the hell. How in the hell is this not gaining any traction on campuses considering that so many women on campus are so, you know, pro woman and everything?

[Emily Sturge]

Yeah. Instead, these students are protesting in support of a murderous ayatollah. And you know what? We're talking about a regime here. Iran has chanted Death to America for nearly five decades. And as a reporter for campus reform, that's what we're seeing on our college campuses. That's what I'm reporting. We're seeing students marching in support of Iran, chanting these anti American slogans. I mean, after the United States and Israel carried out those targeted strikes against Iranian leadership, that was on February 28th. Then we saw an anti Israel student group linked to Columbia University actually posting the phrase online, death to America in the Farsi language. And there's also photos all over the Internet of protesters at Yale University marching on campus with the same exact slogan on signs there. And within the last week, I mean, we've reported countless protests at schools across the country. Lsu, San Jose State University, University of Illinois, Chicago. Those come to mind. We've reported these protests where students are actually marching in support of Iran and they're cheering for retaliation against America. I mean, it's crazy that we got here.

[Rob Carson]

It is. I said this about a year ago. I started noticing that there are a group of particularly, well, women, young women, the ones who. That, you know, Malcolm X warned us about. He talked about the white liberal, but it really became the white liberal woman. And this is the same pathos that causes women to fall in love with death row inmates, women to fall in love with. What's his name, the New York shooter. You know, we killed the banker. I'm drawing a blank on the name. But this is the same kind of pathos. And I think a lot of liberal women are subject to this, are subject to this social contagion, even if it means their own doom. Do you agree with that?

[Emily Sturge]

Absolutely. Luigi Mangione. That's the name.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. There you go. Thank you.

[Emily Sturge]

You're spot on. And that's the exact reason why so many young women here in New York City voted for Zorin Mundani, even though they were voting against their own safety. And when you look at our college campuses, that's where young women are. And really, this goes back to our education system. Absolutely failing to teach young people about the threat that regimes like Iran pose to the United States and even to their own people. And you know what, we've reported so many instances of the rhetoric that university professors have used. After Operation Midnight Hammer, for example, we reported that there was a Georgetown University professor that said that he hoped Iran would carry out strikes on United States military bases. I mean, there was a University of South Florida professor that went on social media, praised Iran, wrote, you know, condolences to Iran, Iran will never die. I mean, the list goes on and on of the radical rhetoric that we've seen come from our university professors. And once again, that's where our young women are. And now we're seeing truly a generation of leftist radicals indoctrinated with this dangerous ideology on our campuses.

[Rob Carson]

It is. I don't even have any, I don't know. I commented last night online, somebody was talking about these people shrieking about, you know, whatever these. I do a daily update on the show called the crazy liberal Cat lady of the day because they're just freaking nuts. In New York City, there was a group of them that just went out to a park, I don't know, Central park, just to scream, just to scream. And there was this old timey convention in the movies in the 30s and 40s where somebody was becoming hysterical, whether they be a man or a woman, and the, the person who had better sense standing in front of them, just smacking them in the face and making them go, what the hell, you know, and them going, oh, I'm sorry, that, I mean, we need some sort of figurative smack in the face of these people because they are beyond reason. They are beyond. They, they are so self loathing that they don't even recognize their own doom. And, and I've never seen anything like this before, Emily.

[Emily Sturge]

Absolutely. I mean, something that's so concerning right now, I mean, we're worried about threats of indoctrinated radicalized individuals here in the United States, are worried about threats of sleeper cells. I mean, we saw just this past weekend those two ISIS inspired individuals that threw the bomb at the group of protesters in Gracie Mansion.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Emily Sturge]

And you know what I mean, our university campuses are places where these young individuals are radicalized. Our university campuses are hotbeds of radical extremism. And you know what we needed to fall. We need to follow the money. Who is funding this extremism on our university campuses? And a lot of times there's foreign influence there.

[Rob Carson]

Of course it is. I want to continue the conversation on the other side of the break. I've got a great piece from Will Kane. I'll share you a little bit about that debt funding on the other side. And then also Abby Phillips, I like to call her Abby Normal on cnn had to issue an apology after saying that the the terrorists in New York City who were throwing a bomb were attacking Zoran Mondami because of anti Islamic sentiment. I know, I know. Makes no sense. We'll continue the conversation on the other side. This is the Rob Carson Show. Every day for 20 years I devoted myself to making sure my wife and kids were well dressed and ready to face the world. Meanwhile, dad over here wore T shirts and jeans. Now I've discovered Quince. Quince has everyday essentials I love with quality that lasts like linen bottoms and shorts, Pima cotton, European jersey linen. You're not just paying for brand markup or fancy retail stores, just quality clothing. And I look good. Their clothing is rated between four and a half and five stars by thousands of people wearing it every day. Linen shorts are a go to. They don't wrinkle when they're not cheap. The clothes I wear look expensive but aren't. When I go out in the evening, and I do now, I'm actually turning heads. It's nice to feel good and look good. Quince does that for me at a price I can afford right now. Go to quince.com newsmax for free shipping and 365 day returns. Don't keep settling.

[Chuck Devore]

let's dive in. Let's investigate. Let's start with this one. One of the lead organizers in Omar almost all of these protests, you can see their logo at the bottom of those posters. Is the Answer Coalition. Their mission act now to stop war and end racism.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Okay.

[Chuck Devore]

The Answer coalition was founded three days after 911 in 2024. The House committee accused the organization of having well documented connections to Hamas in Iran. And how have they mobilized into action? Well, they protested the killing of Soleimani in Iran. They protested in support of of Palestine in 2023 and they protested the capture of Nicolas Maduro. Here's another one of those little symbols and one of those groups at the bottom of that poster.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yes.

[Chuck Devore]

Background of almost all of these protests. That's the National Iranian American Council mission. It's dedicating to giving a voice to The Iranian American community, in civic life, all a lie.

[Rob Carson]

They're all a lie. It's all bull crap. They're all funded by George Soros, Neville Singham and others. And honestly, there's got to be something done about this. And if Pam Bunny can't do it, then somebody else ought to frig. You know, I thought these. Emily Sturge, by the way, campus reform. I thought the ultimate was the hands off Iran protest, which, by the way, disappeared like flatulence in a Cat 5 hurricane. I mean, I really thought they kind of overstepped their boundaries. Earlier last year. They had Elon Musk as a Nazi. Then they had, you know, Free Maduro, then they had, you know, whatever. But, but the hands off Iran, like the morning of the, the launch of Epic Fury, I think, was a bit much. What do you think?

[Emily Sturge]

Think it's always something new and they always have beautifully printed posters. But you know what, this goes all the way back to the anti Semitic protests after October 7, after Hamas attacked Israel and slaughtered Jews. And we saw those violent anti Semitic protests across the country. I mean, we were one of the first to report on it over at Campus Reform, where these pro Hamas agitators were terrorizing American and Jewish students, threatening them, holding them hostage on their own, setting fire to buildings and cop cars, shattering glass. That was the state of our American campuses. And turns out Iran was allegedly funding and encouraging those protests. But you don't have to. It was actually. Biden's Director of National Intelligence actually came out and confirmed that Iran was behind the funding and encouraging those anti Semitic protests.

[Rob Carson]

And, you know, well, it started on October 8th. It started on October 8th. And I knew that there was not this sort of anti Semitism in the American. I knew this was not organic, I like to say, as organic as a Twinkie. And then of course, they created the faux hospital bombing. And that changed everything. That made everyone forget the second Holocaust, which was October 7th. And it was masterful. Unfortunately, there are so many idiots in this country who bit, but it did. It did everything that the left and that Iran wanted to do, which was to turn the narrative on Israel after the second Holocaust. I want you to hear Abby Phillips. You know, there was an anti Islam protest in New York City. I know the guy who, Jake Lang. He was a, you know, a prisoner for January 6th. Do I care for his. The way he carries out his protest? Not particularly. But the bombings, the attempted bombing by these two radical Islamists were to kill Jake and his followers, not to kill Zohan Rahman Dami, who is an Islamist, but Abby Phillips said it was.

[Emily Sturge]

Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack against New York's Mayor Zoran Mamdani. And the House Speaker, Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments. Another special guest is going to be with us.

[Rob Carson]

Here's what she said today. I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti Muslim protesters not specifically targeted at Mayor Mandami. That wording was inaccurate and I didn't catch it ahead of time. I apologize. No, you got caught and now you're getting a lot of heat. I'm hearing tens of thousands of calls to have her fired. What do you think? What do you think, Emily?

[Emily Sturge]

Yeah. Both the mayor and the media refused to call out radical Islamic terrorists. And guess what? Hamdani then chooses to go and honor anti American, anti Semitic thug Mahmoud Khalil and invites him over for dinner at Gracie Mansion. You know who he should have invited for dinner instead? Instead, those NYPD officers who kept Americans safe when those ISIS inspired thugs threw that bomb at the group of protesters.

[Rob Carson]

Well, look at his wife. Look at, look at Mondami's wife liking like 70 images after October 7th. And then Revlon pulling her contract because she's. She might be beautiful externally, but she's very dark and ugly inside, I guess.

[Emily Sturge]

Yeah. His wife mass liking those social media posts celebrating slaughtering of Jewish people. I mean, and then Mondo cover up and the media spin of those ISIS inspired thugs. I mean, all this does is confirm exactly what we already knew about him. I mean, this mayor is a radical. He's anti American and he's anti Semitic.

[Rob Carson]

You know, I love this juxtaposition. On the first day after the Ayatollah diet, the New York Times did a piece and I call it, yes, Virginia, there is an Ayatollah. Here's what they said. With his spectacles, Palestine Kiev, long robes and silver beard. It almost sounds like with his, you know, his gray beard and a belly like shakes, like a bowl full of jelly. Ayatollah Khomeini cast himself as a religious scholar as well as a writer and translator of works to Islam. He affected an avuncular and magnanimous aloofness, running the country from the perch above the jousting of daily politics. Okay, that's like writing about Hitler. Then CNN writes about these two terrorists in New York. Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal Day of enjoying the city during abnorma warm weather. In less than an hour, their lives would be drastically changed as a pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bobs during an anti Muslim protest outside the mayor's home. That sounds like a Netflix, you know, made for TV movie or something.

[Emily Sturge]

A trailer continues to romanticize terrorists. It's insane. And I mean, Madani, even in some of his latest tweets chose to romanticize Mahmoud Khalil too. Once again, one of those pro homage who terrorized Americans. But instead, the mayor chose to romanticize him and invite him over for dinner again.

[Rob Carson]

This is, this is about the same pathos that causes women to fall in love with death row inmates, in this case the mayor of New York as well. It is ridiculous. And I said this, by the way, Emily Sturge of Campus Reform. I said that he's Islamist first and now we know it's absolutely true because no radical cleric would support someone who is so lgbtqia. Plus they are using the left and these young idiots, just like Lenin did the useful idiots, to usher in radical Islam into city hall in the city of New York. And now it's exposing itself and I'm hoping somebody starts to kick some butt. Emily, thanks for being on the show today. I appreciate your insights and I would encourage you to read your latest piece about Iranian pro Iranian protests on campus. Where else can people find your glorious work in your social media presence?

[Emily Sturge]

Thanks so much for having me. I have [e-mail] every single day and I'm eeelemilysturge on all social media platforms, platforms.

[Rob Carson]

You're amazing. Have a glorious weekend. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Here is Anna Navarro of the View on CNN talking about the potential bombers. You know, we almost had a bunch of a mass casualty event in New York City caused by two radical Islamists from the what. What Barack Obama called the religion of peace, which is the opposite of the truth. For the last 26 years or 25 years, we have pretended like, you know, Islam is just great and there's only a tiny little proportion of people who are members of the Islamic faith who want violence and want to take over the world. Turns out there are a lot more than that. And I gotta tell you, the peaceful followers of Islam had better step up to the plate because you haven't done it yet in 25 years. You haven't done it yet in 2045 years. I've got a gentleman who works here who is a Muslim. He's a very good guy. A peaceful man, family man. Doesn't subjugate his wife. He's got two kids. He's awesome. He's going to have to start making some noise. If the Catholic Church were doing this around the world, I'd be raising holy hell and talking to the Pope and saying, you better get this thing together because it's getting to be a little bit much. Here is Ana Navarro about the bombers. Ironic is so. So supposedly some of these comments are as a result of the attempt against Mayor Mandani in New York who was raised. It wasn't an attempt on Mandami's life. It was two radical Islamists trying to kill some white Christians. Muslim. Was he not himself. So, so they're being anti Muslim. To def. And they're finally defending. So, so to, to, to hold these Islamists accountable for an attempted murder. You're being anti Islamic because she says the target of the attack was Zoran Mandami, which is not true. Mandani over something.

[Chuck Devore]

The attack wasn't on Mayor Mamdani.

[Rob Carson]

It was.

[Chuck Devore]

It was on. It was attacking protesters. People protesting right by his house. To frame it as an anti Muslim attack would. Would actually completely reverse what happened.

[Rob Carson]

And someone who shouted

[Chuck Devore]

that didn't go off.

[Rob Carson]

No, you weren't. Republicans are finally doing something. Oh, my God. And honestly, there is, there is no rhyme, there is no reason, there is no intelligence, there is no anything. And by the way, I'm going to continue on this the other side of the break with the View. The View. Honestly, I think Whoopi Goldberg has said one of the dumbest things ever spoken right up there. I mean, way, way, way up there with some of the maybe top 10, 10 dumbest things ever spoken that I'm going to share on the other side of the break. Also going to get into the save act. John Thune has apparently thrown in the towel on that. There are a number of reasons I believe for that. Number one is there are a lot of people, including Republicans, who like the status quo, who like the swamp full of swampy stinky crap and hate Donald Trump. But you know what? We're going to have to get rid of them. How's that sound? That's all coming up. This is the Rob Carson show.
